This is a review of the book The Angry Woman Suite, by Lee Fullbright, a novel spanning three generations and a host of characters in early-to-mid twentieth century America.
The story is about the family of Francis Grayson, a free-thinking famous and successful band leader in the 1940s whose career disappears with the advent of rock'n'roll. However, his career is almost supplementary to the story, which is really about the mysteries (and history) surrounding his mother, aunts and grandmother.
I'm the first to admit that in a lot of stories, it's the tale of a previous generation that intrigues me more than the tale being told. Perhaps it's because it's something that is only hinted at, without being spelt out, but I have noticed it about myself. The Harry Potter books, for example, or the Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) series, I find myself thinking more about what came before the events of the novels, than the novels themselves. (Okay, those are fantasy books, and this is historical fiction/mystery, but the point stands.) And, reading this book, I thought the same thing was going to happen again.
The novel starts in first person from the point of view of five year old Elyse, who is soon to become Francis' step-daughter (and, later, adopted daughter), and her interpretation of what is going on around her. The next chapter, also in first person, tells Francis' perspective on a number of the same events – much of which is at odds with the way Elyse told it. Even after reading the book twice, I'm still not sure whose is the accurate portrayal, or whether it was in fact a combination of the two. We later see the POV of Aiden Madsen, who had been Francis' school master and mentor, as the story weaves between the early 1900s to the post-war era, telling bits and pieces of the Grayson family history as it goes.
However, my concern about not seeing the story that intrigued me the most was misplaced, as the story of Francis' mother, and all the baggage that came with that story, was revealed as the novel progressed. In fact, the title of the book refers to Francis' mother (albeit in a roundabout way), so I needn't have worried. I suspect it was the fact that the book opened with Elyse that threw me, thinking that much of the story would be set in the 1950s rather than delving back into the past like it did.
This is, in truth, an awe-inspiring debut novel. It ticks all the boxes: engaging narrative, excellent characterisation, fascinating story, with even a couple of celebrity murders thrown in for good measure. Everything is linked by Francis' seemingly unshakeable need to "fix" them all – the house, the women who raised him, and his relationship with Elyse, her mother and her sister – yet it is only when he accepts his own limitations that he finds peace. My only significant critique is that the voices all sound similar: the first person narratives of Elyse, Francis and Aiden, three very different people of different generations, didn't sound particularly different to me as I was reading them. Several times I even had to go back a few pages in order to remember whose story I was being told. I completely understand how difficult it can be to change voices enough to differentiate them on the page to the reader, so I'm not suggesting any lack of skill on Fullbright's part, but perhaps it might have been better to use third person in a case like this. (She may have tried this, of course, and it didn't work for her, but that's just my thought on the matter.)
Overall, though, it is hard to find anything bad to say about this book. If you like mystery, intrigue and a bit of romance, then The Angry Woman Suite is well worth picking up.

A Chevy Malibu ran a red light near Pueblo West Friday night, crashing into a Chevy Tahoe and seriously injuring a 4-year-old girl, who was ejected from the Tahoe.
Troopers say the Malibu hit the Tahoe on the passenger side, forcing the Tahoe to spin out of control.
According to Colorado State Patrol, the Malibu's driver, 56, is now being investigated for driving under the influence of drugs.
The crash occurred at 8:17 p.m. at the intersection of Highway 50 and Purcell, and shut down southbound Purcell for two hours.
In addition to the 4-year-old, who has been transported the Children's Hospital in Denver, the 92-year-old passenger in the Malibu was seriously injured. She was transported to Parkview Hospital. The other passengers in the Tahoe sustained minor to no injuries.

As part of a heart-healthy diet, avoid trans fat and limit saturated fat in your diet.
Trans fat is found in many processed
foods, such as cookies, crackers, snack foods, and other processed foods made
with shortening, partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, or hydrogenated
vegetable oils, including some margarines and salad dressings.
Food producers list the amount of trans fat on nutrition labels.
Trans fat, like saturated fat, raises the levels of LDL ("bad" or
low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol in the blood and increases the risk for
coronary artery disease. Trans fat also lowers HDL
("good" or high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol in the blood. Doctors
recommend avoiding trans fat in the diet as much as possible.
Trans fat also occurs naturally in foods such as meat and milk. By choosing
fat-free or 1% dairy products, lean meats, fish, and skinless poultry, you can
easily stay within the recommended limit for both trans and saturated fat

I've never really been into "cutesy" things. I'm not one to redecorate my house in themes for every holiday. And, I never wear sweaters with Rudolph, Cupid or the Easter Bunny plastered across my chest. Whether it be home décor, fashion or food, I tend to prefer uncluttered, elegant and clean lines. That's just me. Take Valentine's Day, for instance. Where is it written that every food served has to be bedazzled in pink or red? I mean, it's fine if a food actually is supposed to be pink or red. Otherwise, I prefer my Valentine treats straight up – hold the gimmicks? Besides, a great recipe made with good quality ingredients speaks for itself – like these divine white and dark chocolate Pots de Crème.
Simply put, a pot de crème is the French equivalent of a custard or pudding. The term literally means "pot of cream". Leave it to the French to make something so simple, sound so special! Anyway, think of a pot de crème as a crème brûlée, without the brûlée. read more >>

We lost three individuals this April; I personally didn't know each of them, but came close to meeting one of them. Charles Sumner "Chuck" Stone, Jr. died April 6 of congestive heart failure at an assisted-living facility in North Carolina at the age of 89. Born in 1924 in St. Louis, he was a Tuskegee Airman in World War II. Then, instead of attending Harvard — who accepted him, he instead went to and graduated from Wesleyan University in 1948, and later earned his master's from the University of Chicago.

Types of Renewable Energy
See All News
See All Events
Renewable energy refers to sources of energy that can be replenished in a short period of time. Some renewable sources are essentially infinite such as solar, wind and hydro power. Biomass and geothermal power can also be replenished, when properly managed. Renewable energy can be used as transportation fuels, to produce electricity, and for heating. Clean, renewable energy is not new, but a collection of economic, environmental and technological changes are leading to new and rapid development in the way these resources are used.
Biomass is plant material or animal waste. Examples include trees, corn, grass, and manure. The gases collected from the decomposition of these materials may also be used, such as landfill gas.
Biomass contains energy that can be used in a variety of different ways. Simply burning biomass can produce heat. It can be converted to transportation fuels. Ethanol is an example. Electricity can be produced from biomass when it is burned or gases are collected from it. Many items once created with petroleum, such as plastics, can now be produced with biomass. Research is continuing to find new ways to use biomass.
Whether burned or converted to gas, biomass does generate air pollution. Emissions vary by fuel and technology. These emissions can include NOx, CO, CO2, and particulates. Biomass power can have environmental benefits when it diverts waste from landfills or when gas from landfills is used. This gas, called methane, would otherwise be released into the environment. The collection and processing of biomass may contribute to environmental problems if it contains toxic contaminants or results in greater chemical use. If a source such as switchgrass is used, it can help the environment by reducing erosion and nitrogen runoff. The use of feces as a source of energy provides needed power and a way to safely dispose of the material.
Production of biomass is beneficial to farmers for a number of reasons. The product can be produced locally, keeping jobs and wealth in the area and reducing the need for foreign imports of oil. Diversifying crops allows for less concern if there are price fluctuations in other crops. Construction of the plants needed to convert crops or landfill gas creates jobs. One concern with biomass is that switching from food crops to fuel crops might drive-up food prices.
The burning of wood, a biomass, was probably the first use of energy by humans. Henry Ford originally designed his Model-T to be capable of operating with ethanol.1 Rudolf Diesel intended to use peanut oil to power his diesel engine.2 1 Clean Energy Alternatives: Ethanol. Environmental Protection Agency. [pdf] 2 Historical perspectives on vegetable oil-based diesel fuels. The National Biodiesel Board. [pdf]
Geothermal energy is heat in the ground. Volcanoes and geysers are two visible examples of this energy at the earth's surface. Although there may not be a visual indication of geothermal energy elsewhere on the planet, it is accessible in the ground. In these areas, geothermal can be used, with a system known as ground source heat pumps.
Geothermal energy can be used in several different ways. At its most basic, heated water from springs can be employed for cooking or warmth. In areas of high geothermal energy, such as the west coast of the United States, steam from the hot water can turn turbines to create electricity. Although Pennsylvania does not have great geothermal energy to produce electricity, we can still utilize the source with geothermal heat pumps. Underground, the temperature remains around 57 degrees throughout the year. A system of tubes pumps the energy above ground for use, providing warmth in the winter and cooling in the summer. Wells are dug and pipes buried in the ground. Fluid is circulated through the system. In winter it absorbs heat from the earth and warms the building. In summer it takes heat from the building and moves it to the earth.
Geothermal energy is produced quietly. Compared to fossil fuels, it results in the creation of little pollution and there is no danger of fire, asphyxiation, or explosion. The space needed for a system is typically small and underground, and therefore has minimal, if any, visual impact.
Initially, geothermal systems cost more than conventional heating and cooling systems. They have few moving parts. Because those parts are sheltered, they are durable and highly reliable. Proper design is vital to a carefree long-lived system. Homeowners and businesses must be particularly careful in screening their contractor.
Geothermal heat has been used for at least 10,000 years in the United States, beginning with Native Americans who went to hot springs for cleaning, warmth, and healing. In the 1880s, development of electricity generating power helped to provide lighting in some areas. Advances in technology have continued to today.
Hydro energy is created from the movement of water. Water is constantly moving around the earth in what is known as the water cycle. This involves the evaporation of water out of the ocean, forming clouds, and then falling to the ground as precipitation. This water may collect in lakes or rivers and may eventually reach an ocean before being evaporated to begin the cycle again.
Water can be used to produce electricity. A common way to harness this power is to dam a river or lake. At a dam, water is pulled downwards by gravity and past a turbine, which is spun in the process. The turbine generates electricity. Hydro can also be used on a small scale, even under 5 kw.
Water, unlike fossil fuels, does not produce pollution when generating power. Damming a river will cause the water level to rise behind it, creating recreational opportunities with the water. At the same time, however, the backup of water will cover any low lying areas, forcing people and businesses to relocate and natural resources to disappear. Dams can also impede the movement of animals, such as fish, from moving freely upstream. Organisms moving downstream may become caught in the turbines. If the flow of water is properly controlled, areas below the dam should not be adversely effected, but if the water is too high or low, it can cause flooding or drought. Dams can also disrupt the chemical and nutrient content of the water. Micro-hydro, or small scale projects will not have nearly the impact that a larger project would have.
Hydropower is typically the cheapest way to produce electricity. Once the equipment is installed, maintenance is the only cost, because the water will flow for free. The equipment will generally last longer than that of other energy sources. Hydropower can be produced in the United States, so resources do not need to be imported. Getting licensing to complete a project can be time consuming.
Hydropower has been used by people for thousands of years. Projects to provide lighting from the power of water began in the 1880s. Since then, a number of large scale projects have developed across the country, with the west coasts states producing the most energy from hydropower.
Solar energy is the rays of light that reach the earth from the sun. The rays also can turn into heat.
Solar energy can be used to produce heat or electricity. Heat (or thermal) energy can collect passively. Passive solar design lets houses collect solar heat in winter through southern-facing windows and rock or brick to capture and radiate the heat. In summer, an overhang will protect the home from too much sun. No mechanical system is involved. Active solar heating also gathers sunlight and converts it to heat, but involves a fan or pump to move the heat to a chosen destination. Solar energy can be used to generate electricity. By concentrating light into a central area where it becomes heat, water can be turned into steam and used to turn turbines. Photovoltaic (PV) cells or panels can be placed in sunlight, converting the rays directly into electricity.
Solar energy is collected quietly. It does not release emissions into the air or hazardous chemicals onto the land or water. While construction of the system does involve the use of hazardous materials, it is less than those that would result from the use of fossil fuels. Because sunlight is not concentrated at any one point, large areas must be covered to collect an adequate supply of it, although constructing them on preexisting buildings reduces this impact.
Solar energy creates jobs that can be located in the United States. Initial costs are very high, but once the project is completed, the production of energy can begin recouping those costs. Because it uses no fuel, solar panels are not subject to fuel price spikes. Using the energy near the site of production reduces the chance of a transmission failure. Solar projects allow for great flexibility in terms of the size of project.
Solar energy has been used for thousands of years. At first, the sunlight was used to burn things to create fire. Later on, people learned to build their homes facing south, to maximize the amount of sunlight reaching them. In the 20th century, photovoltaic cells were developed and used to generate electricity from the sun. PV panels became an important part of space travel, powering satellites in space. Today the technology continues to develop.
Wind is the movement of air. It is created by sunlight shining on the earth. The light does not reach the planet evenly (such as part of the planet being dark at night), which causes differences between warmer air and cooler air and forms wind. Shorelines and the tops of mountains are two good areas to find this resource.
Wind is kinetic energy that can be used to do work. Humans can collect wind energy by using windmills and wind turbines. When the blades of a windmill turn, the device converts the energy into power to do work. A wind turbine has blades that spin and convert the wind into electrical power.
Wind turbines, like all electricity sources, can have both positive and negative impacts on the environment. On the positive side, wind turbines emit no pollution, generate no waste, require no mining for fuel, and use negligible amounts of water. They have a small footprint and the land around them can still be used for farming or forests. On the negative side, turbines and their access roads can fragment habitat. Unless carefully constructed and maintained, the roads can lead to erosion. The turbines must be properly sited to avoid avian migratory paths and bats. Turbines are also sometimes noted for producing sound and causing a shadow flicker. Some people enjoy seeing wind turbines, viewing them as kinetic sculpture and some find them aesthetically unpleasing.
Wind energy generates jobs, increases the local tax base, and provides income for landowners. Initial costs are very high, but once it is completed, the production of energy can begin recouping those costs. Because it uses no fuel, wind turbines are not subject to fuel price spikes. Wind is renewable, so we will never run out!
Wind has been used by humans for centuries. It allowed people to sail the oceans and explore the world. We used windmills to grind grain. In the late 1800s, millions of windmills could be found in the United States pumping water. Commercial wind farms have developed over the past fifty years and can now produce large amounts of power.

Resulting colour
RADIANT, LONG-LASTING colour. IN JUST 10 MINUTES.
Follow these simple step by step instructions to achieve radiant and healthy-looking colour.
For Roots and All Over colour
Tip: For resistant grey hair, you may need to leave colour on for an additional 5 minutes, for no longer than a total of 15 minutes.
Use the Natural Instincts Week 2 colour Refresher to boost your colour in just minutes!
THE SCIENCE OF VIBRANT colour
Hair, just like skin, is susceptible to environmental factors that attack the proteins in your hair. This can weaken the hair structure, ultimately leading to breakage. In most cases, this process is amplified when you colour your hair.
Natural Instincts Vibrant's formula includes antioxidants to help fight damage during colouring. Antioxidants help prevent the formation of highly reactive, damaging molecules by inactivating the metal ions that cause their formation. This leads to more predictable colour results and healthy-looking hair.
All haircolour products—both at-home and professional—fade. Most of the fading happens during the first two weeks. To help overcome this concern, we developed Natural Instincts colour Refresher, which gives your hair a boost by revitalizing your colour.
The colour Refresher uses a technology that deposits colour molecules in the outer layers of the hair, where most of the colour fade occurs. Therefore, your colour is rejuvenated, leaving radiant colour and shine.
Clairol Expert colour Consultant and celebrity colourist Marie Robinson answers all of your colour Refresher questions below.
No. It's a separate packet included in every box of Natural Instincts. And it's specially formulated to revitalize your haircolour shade two weeks after you colour.
For optimal results, the colour Refresher should be used about two weeks (or 15 days) after your initial colouring.
The colour Refresher is easy to use in the shower. Simply shampoo your hair as usual, then put on the extra pair of gloves that came in your Natural Instincts box. Apply the entire sachet of colour Refresher and distribute uniformly through the hair. Leave on for five minutes. Rinse thoroughly and style as usual (no need to apply conditioner). You'll come out of the shower with a boost of colour and incredible shine!

Having made a name for himself through his associations with singer Jane Monheit and boyhood friend, pianist Brad Mehldau, Frahm hones his own voice on this breakout recording.

Dont Explain, his latest, was the number one jazz release for radio play in the United States for two consecutive weeks in 2004, according to jazzweek.com airplay chart and also reached number one on college radio for one week, according to College Music Journals airplay chart. Joel was also recently selected in DownBeat Magazines Critics Poll as a Rising Star in the category of tenor saxophone.

The Texas-based company says it's shutting down operations in the wake of a strike involving thousands of union members, after the union rejected a contract that cut wages and benefits.
BIDDEFORD, Maine (AP) _ Workers at a Hostess plant in Biddeford, Maine, say they hope it will be reopened under new ownership following the company's decision to cease operations.
The Texas-based company told striking workers that the company would go out of business if they didn't return to their jobs Thursday evening. Pickets remained outside the Biddeford plant on Friday.
Thousands of members of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union went on strike last week after rejecting a contract offer that cut wages and benefits.
Fifty-two-year-old Rich Reardon says he and fellow workers are confident that the Biddeford plant will be bought and reopened because the 13-year-old plant is modern and efficient.
The closing would mean the loss of about 18,500 jobs. The Biddeford plant employs about 330 people.

The Queens Tunnel, is a tunnel in San Fierro that carries automobile traffic between the two neighborhoods Queens and Kings. It passes under a small greenbelt near the northern end of Hashbury Park. The tunnel is based off the Twin Peaks tunnel in San Francisco which is used for a light rail subway, rather cars. The winding road south of the tunnel shows similarity to a road that goes to the top of Twin peaks in real life.

Hard work is important to me , but when I was little I didn't get it. I always thought that I could automatically do something, like a back flip or play soccer with the big kids. When I was younger, I thought that everything was easy, but when I got older that all seemed to change.
It was a hot Saturday morning and I was heading to my first gymnastics meet ever. When I peeked inside of the gym I saw tons of competitors and I knew it was going to be a tough day. When the competition started I had a lot of butterflies in my stomach then we started to compete, our team began on beam. After five people on my team went, it was my turn I saluted the judges and a rush of adrenalin went through my body. When I got up on the beam I fell off and all of my pride disappeared I tried to build my confidence back up ,but then I heard my teammates cheering me on. I hoped back up onto the beam and then after two hours of competing our last event ended. The audience died down and the awards ceremony began and after 30 long minutes of waiting they finally got to my age group. They announce the beam scores first I knew that I wouldn't be called then after they called second I hear my name getting called for first place! I thought that they were joking but then they announce my name again then I knew it's not a joke and I was beaming with joy. Then after the competition ended I ended up having five first place medals.
After that gymnastics competition I knew what the true meaning of hard work was. It means pushing through things that might hurt or something that is embarrassing. Hard work also means doing the best that you can and never giving up know matter what. Now that I understand the true meaning of hard work and it is very important to me.

1969 Road Runner - Road RattlerWritten by Brandan Gillogly on March 21, 2012 Contributors: Randy Lorentzen An All-Aluminum Hemi in a Carbon-Fiber Wrapper
People tend to make assumptions about a car as wildly customized as this '69 Road Runner. When the cover was pulled off at the '11 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the crowd that gathered around no doubt guessed that the one-off, carbon-fiber interior and custom aluminum wheels all pointed to a car that would spend its life as a trailer queen. The monster engine seemed to point to a drag car, but the chassis, suspension, and rolling stock all screamed track car. Is this where Pro Touring is headed—cars that are so customized and detailed that they'll never run an autocross or see triple-digit speeds—the next step in the evolution of Pro Street? The answer, at least for this car, is a resounding "No." OK, it will see its fair share of trailers, but despite the untold man-hours put into the custom bodywork and hand-laid carbon fiber, this car is bound for land speed racing at the Ohio Mile and beyond.
Jim Mitchell of Norman, Indiana, is the owner of the car, which he dubbed Road Rattler. Jim bought the car and planned a restoration, but it wasn't a rare car to begin with, and it didn't have the correct engine and transmission, so it sat in a garage for years until he was inspired to go for broke. Jim enlisted the services of Mike Spitzer at Spitzer Concepts in Greenfield, Indiana (GoSpitzer.com), to choreograph the build. With a basic plan hashed out, Mike and his team set forward on an ambitious plan that would result in one of the wildest Mopar muscle cars in recent memory.
When it comes to Mopar powerplants, the '64 to '71 Gen II Hemi is the undisputed king. Mike and Jim knew that was the only way to go. Starting with an Indy aluminum block filled with 4.5-inch Wiseco pistons and a 4.15-inch Eagle crank, displacement grew to 528 cubes. All those inches need to breathe, so massive Legend 285 CNC heads were chosen. They flow 440 cfm through 2.25-inch intake valves activated by a Comp solid roller cam. A Hogan sheetmetal intake with a 102mm FAST throttle-body guides the air to the heads, and a FAST EFI system controls the fuel and spark using distributorless ignition with coil packs from a 6.2L GM truck. Indy Cylinder Head tuned the engine, and it put down 770 hp at 6,600 rpm and 700 lb-ft at 5,400 rpm. There's also a 500hp Nitrous Express N20 system that will hopefully come into play at Wilmington when the Road Rattler takes on the Ohio Mile.
The rest of the drivetrain is made up of a 10-inch Coan torque converter linked to a Lenco three-speed and onto a driveshaft from Mark Williams Enterprises. The rear axle is a custom-made IRS that uses Mark Williams CV halfshafts and a Ford 9-inch centersection. Corvette C5 spindles combine with modified C5 A-arms and Bilstein coilovers in the rear. The story is the same in the front, with C5 components and a Sweet Manufacturing rack-and-pinion providing the steering. Every suspension point is mounted to the 11/2-inch DOM tube chassis that Spitzer Concepts fabricated with rigidity and performance in mind. The chassis also solved a few aesthetic issues the Spitzer team had with the Mopar B-Body.
The Road Runner's sheetmetal was in surprisingly good shape when the Spitzer crew began its extensive modifications. It required only minor rust repair before the major metal fab began. Even though Jim has plans to autocross the car, and the turning radius grew as a result, the decision was made to pull the front wheels forward 1-1/2 inches and push the rear wheels back 3 inches to reduce the overhangs. The rear wheel openings were moved to match the new wheelbase, but that's just a minor change for the Spitzer team. The chop top is the most striking modification, bar none. The window height was cut by 1-7/8 inch and the roof was pancaked an additional 1-1/2 inches. With the new, lower roof mocked up with the compound-curved rear window, Jim and Mike agreed things just didn't look right. Shortly after their roof revelation, Mike and his wife, Karen, were driving home one evening when he spotted a '65 Impala. He immediately stopped the car, turned around, and made some measurements on the Impala. Despite being 4 inches wider than the Road Runner's roof, it looked to be just what he needed. A donor Impala at a wrecking yard gave its roof and C-pillars to the cause, and after some narrowing and a whole lot of metal massaging, the rear half of the GM B-body roof joined the front half of the Mopar B-Body roof. By now you're wondering where a chopped and narrowed rear window was going to be found. It wasn't found, it was made, just like the rest of the Road Rattler's glass. Rather than use Lexan, the Spitzer crew shaped 3/16-inch aluminum sheet to the window openings to serve as patterns and had custom-laminated glass made. In an attempt to keep weight down, nearly every panel that bolts to the shell was custom made by Spitzer Composites from carbon fiber, including the hood, fascia, front fenders, rear splitter, and decklid. The extensive use of carbon fiber kept the curb weight down to 3,640 pounds, about 300 pounds less than a factory Road Runner.
The interior also takes advantage of lightweight carbon fiber, as custom seats, door panels, and the center console and dash were all fabricated from the composite. The unique seats were upholstered in gray leather with red stitching by Paul Atkins Interiors in Hanceville, Alabama. The seats use five-point Crow harnesses that are secured to the extensive 'cage.
After a brief appearance at the Goodguys Columbus show, the car was buttoned up and ready for its date in the HOT ROD photo studio and its SEMA debut, but there's still work to be done, mostly in setting up the car's suspension to handle just right. There's an old airfield near Spitzer Concepts that has a lot of tarmac that's just a few dozen cones away from being an autocross track. It might be a big car, and it might take some throttle steering to coax it around a course, but we'd sure like to see it try. Keep your eyes open at this year's Goodguys events if you'd like to see the Road Rattler in action.

Are Attorneys Illegally Outsourcing Foreclosure Work?
Two foreclosure middlemen, LPS Default Solutions and Prommis Solutions, are accused of illegally paying non-attorneys to practice law so banks and law firms could save on document filing costs. It's more than a money issue -- the errors these rushed non-attorneys are making may lead to another messy stage of the mortgage meltdown.

AOE is not only more powerful in 2vs2, but there is also more of it, an extra file, ss included. I think that this is a huge problem and needs to be discussed. How do you prevent Ball of Flame + same turn Roar of the Flame Emperor ? Making Holy Light (or Refess) mandatory is not a good solution.
I see two fatal problems with 3x3:
2) limited space demands strong synergy for the two files, making random teams impossible. Coupled with shared sphere levels (easy to raise using the soul skills from both players) really favors bigs. This practically destroys rushes (unless both players use the same sub-type, again random teams ). This mode can't survive without random teams.
Normal 3x5 fixes 2), but magnifies 1).
I'm not trying to push my idea, I just want to find solutions for the this issues.
Now responses:
- yes, normal slash is a bad skill, but I'm talking about all abilities that target rows;
- starting with 3 sp gives a huge advantage to teams with the same sphere;
- the problem with the interaction between player A and D is also important, no limit on it will allow teams to completely focus on one player, that is not very fun for the player in question;
- I have no problem if 2vs2 has its on meta, it is reasonable actually, but I have a problem if the meta is limited to bigs.
By the way, English is not my native language so pardon any spelling error, I have no problem understanding English, but writing it is a different story.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- He may be the first NBA player to come out publicly as gay, but odds are Jason Collins isn't the only gay player in what's called the 'big four' sports: basketball, baseball, football, and hockey.
And if you don't believe there's more gay athletes where he came from, Brent Minor, Executive Director of Team DC explains, "We represent 3,000 athletes who are involved in 26 different LGBT friendly sports teams, everything from the runners to the rowers to the rock-climbers. "
The charitable organization promotes sports in the LGBT community and gives scholarships.
He introduced us to Craig Cassey. He's a Georgetown University sophomore, former track star, and current advocate for LGBTQ athletes.
He says today's announcement is huge, "And to come out so soon too, we never thought we'd have someone out in 2013, maybe 2 years down the road, but right now it was beyond our wildest imagination."
Cassey spent the morning celebrating and tweeting friends about the historic announcement. Cassey says Collins' stand will have an impact on young athletes who are now in junior high or high school, and that means some might make different decisions, and in doing so, even change the course of their lives.
"When I was younger I never saw that and I wondered why is there no one like me out there. I did choose track because it wasn't exactly a team sport. Having an acceptable team climate that's open to gay players will allow people to not fear being on a team and they won't have to only choose individualized sports like track or swimming or golf."
Minor adds, "It's going to be, for the next person that comes out, a little bit easier, the next person that comes out, even easier, until finally it won't be the big deal."

In this Multimedia Feature:
Cambodia Counter-Trafficking in Persons Program
Part 2 of 3: Counter-Trafficking in Persons Program: Prosecution
An alarming number of Cambodians, approximately 35 percent, live on less than $1.00 a day. In cities and small towns, young people are vulnerable to false promises of jobs or marriage—and are still systematically trafficked into exploitative situations. Unsuspecting individuals, struggling to survive, are forced into prostitution or labor and also suffer abuse and rape. Beginning in 2007, in partnership with the Royal Government of Cambodia and with funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development, our staff executed a three-year Countering Trafficking in Persons Program encompassing prevention of trafficking, protection of victims, and prosecution of perpetrators, as well as coordination within government and between government and civil society. Among our key goals, we worked to address a glaring lack of safe, dignified rescues, rehabilitations, and re-integrations for victims; and a gap in Cambodian police training that often resulted in poorly coordinated investigations and few prosecutions. Working holistically, we supported efforts to: provide specialized work skills training and job placement for youth; provide quality trauma and medical care, and counseling for victims; and increase the rate, quality, and professionalism of prosecution to create a culture of policing that enforces the country's 2009 landmark act requiring a higher quality of respect and care for victims.

Authorities say a second person has died in the collapse of a parking garage under construction at a community college in Florida.
Roy Rutland of the Miami-Dade Police Department says the second body was discovered Wednesday. A construction worker is also still trapped in the rubble.
That worker is stuck inside a vehicle. Officials say a paramedic and a doctor are with him and it may take hours -- or possibly days -- to rescue him.
At least 10 other workers were hurt when the roof of the five-story concrete garage fell on the campus of Miami-Dade College.
Officials are working to determine whether anyone else is missing.

HOLLYWOOD (21Alive) – Sad news out of Hollywood, the actor Peter O'Toole has died.
O'Toole's family announced Sunday that the 81-year-old, passed away Saturday peacefully in the hospital and that he'd been ill for some time.
It was the movie, "Lawrence of Arabia" that made Peter O'Toole an international superstar.
O'Toole was the son of an Irish bookie and a Scottish nurse, and carried the reputation as a hard drinking ladies man.
O'Toole was nominated eight times for an academy award, and although he never won the golden statue, he was given an honorary Oscar for lifetime achievement which smoothed any hurt feelings.
Acting, he once said, is what he was put on this earth to do.

Leg cramps — painful involuntary muscle contractions that typically affect the calf, foot or both — are common during pregnancy, often striking at night during the second and third trimesters.
While the exact cause of leg cramps during pregnancy isn't clear, you can take steps to prevent them. For example:
If a leg cramp strikes, stretch the calf muscle on the affected side. Walking and then elevating your legs might help keep the leg cramp from returning. A hot shower, warm bath, ice massage or muscle massage also might help.

The federal government's new interactive college scorecard, unveiled by President Obama in the State of the Union, gives students an easy way to look up schools by affordability and value, along with other criteria. But the site, in its current incarnation, is drawing criticism from some local colleges.
Until this week, JoAnne Dowd said there hasn't been one single place students can go to get answers to most of their questions about different colleges and universities. Dowd handles college counseling in her job as aspirations coordinator at Lewiston High School.
"The Center for Educational Statistics has had a lot of this information on it, but you really have to dig around and know what you're looking for to find it" said Dowd. "This is definitely the most straightforward, up front information I've seen."
The new "College Scorecard," on the White House website, lets people search for institutions by size, location, academic major, degrees offered and other characteristics, all at once. Users click on a university on their list, say UMaine in Orono and up pop a series of boxes. They show how much it costs, per year, in tuition, what percentage of students graduate, how much money the average student borrows to attend and what percentage default on their loans.
"It gives a level of transparency to what the real cost of college is, a good comparison," said Johnny Jung.
Jung is Vice President for Enrollment Management at UMaine-Orono, he said comparisons are critical, at a time when students are borrowing greater and greater sums of money to pay for college. said the scorecard will be even more valuable when it includes information about the kinds of jobs a school's graduates get and the wages they earn. The government is promising to add that data to the site. Jung said he hopes the site will also eventually include other measures of student achievement and success, besides the basic graduation rate.
"An institution which takes a lot of non-traditional students," Jung said. "A graduation rate is not a good reflection of successful outcomes that come out of it."
Dowd, the Lewiston High college counselor, said the government also needs to update the financial data on the site, which is three or four years old.
"Which I think it problematic because the cost of college has gone up enormously in the past three to four years," Dowd said. But, Dowd notes, while costs have risen, financial aid packages offered by colleges have gone down.

Let's get right to the point shall we? I've been doing some research around the internet to bring you a collection of my favorite and most disturbing ancient torture devices. Just the sight of these devices would give even the makers of "Saw" and "Hostile" a chill down their spine. Even I, your Halloween Harlot, could not help but gasp and wince at the horrors before me.
It's hard to believe that people could come up with such twisted ways to execute someone. Some forms of torture were used to get people to talk while others seem to have been invented for pure morbid pleasure. Though, once you found yourself into one of these little devices, no amount of talking, crying, or praying could save you. You are damn well damned if you do and damn well damned if you don't. Your fate was sealed the minute the finger was pointed.
With that in mind, let me introduce to you our most multifunctional item. In fact, you most certainly have one of these horrific torture devices hanging around your garage. It's called: The Saw. Perhaps you've heard of it? It's great for cutting down trees or trimming lumber for various house hold projects. It's also amazing at ripping through some poor soul's flesh as they are hung upside down being bathed in their own blood.
In the middle ages, the cheapest, easiest, and most effective way to torture and/or kill a suspected criminal was with saw torture. Imagine all the fantastical torture devices in you time, all the wonderful ways to die, and your sorry criminal behind gets shafted to the saw. First, you get hung upside down with your legs spread. Your blood is rushed to your head which slows down blood loss and keeps you conscious longer as your body is sawed in half. Isn't that nice. This method was especially handy during the Inquisition being used to extract confessions. Some bodies were sawed completely in half while others were only to the abdomen.
Now you can own your very own torture device! It's not cheap- but it's certainly worth the money. You can scare confessions out of any poor child or adult that dare cross you! The Buzz Saw has a huge spinning blade that comes and rips into the flesh and organs of the victim. It's actually and illusion that uses the actor's own head, arms, and legs. While it doesn't hang you from your feet and rip you from your crotch to your abdomen, it still gets the "point across".
Random Fact: Not to bring up dead babies again but… while we are on the subject… I came across a website that mentioned saw torture was used in France on pregnant woman who carried the "children of the devil". Just a little info to store in your brain if you should need it.
Happy Hunting.

I received my work boots and just wanted you to know how pleased we were. In the past, we've had to special order these same boots from Sears. Purchasing from you has been a much more pleasant experience. Even when they were backordered, you kept in touch with us regarding our order, and we really appreciated that. We felt as if our order was important to you. I will certainly contact you when I'm ready for more work boots. Thank you!"
