This is a proposal for functionality that allows dynamic loading and embedding of browsing contexts into svg. Based on SVGTL, the unification with main body specifications of SVG2.0 and HTML5.0's iframe are considered. And this includes functions based on extended CSS3 media queries. Furthermore, geographical semantics of SVG and SVGTL is deleted.
ACTION-3369: Write up a proposal for iframe like syntax in SVG on Satakagi.
'iframe' element
- It respects compatibility with iframe of the HTML
- It extends cross document pointer-events
- The security model quotes CORS
Levels Of Details
- As the evaluation expression to control Level Of Details, it uses extended media_query_list of media queries.
- Intersection to viewport and zoom are extended.
Note: In member submission, unique attributes was used for LOD.
It offers users to use a common coordinate systems between plural documents.
The semantics of "geo" was removed although it was using the concept of geographic coordinate system of SVG1.1. Furthermore, it contributes to the determination of CTM of a child document. Therefore, it influences rendering.
Is 'media' desirable?
'iframe' href? src?
Is security issues of cross document pointer-events expansion?
Does 'close-viewport' make sense as one of a media feature?
'close-viewport' has the following specificity in comparison with feature of other media.
- It do not influence "rendering" in a narrow sense, because a object outside viewport is not displayed naturally. Therefore, the effect is limited to only elements to import from the outside such as image, iframe etc. This is because it affects the usability by being going to load data though they are not displayed.
- It carries out an evaluation with attribute (BBOX) of individual element. The others are evaluations for document and user coordinate system.
- On the other hand, from the viewpoint of level of detail and responsive images, this function can be called the same category as 'zoom' feature.
It may be one of the choices to prescribe it as different attribute.
Is global coordinate system generally usable?
- Its Functionality
- Another mechanism to determine CTM between children's rootmost user coordinate systems and parent's viewport coordinate system, compared with determination mechanism of CTM by viewport and viewbox.
- A function to identify a common coordinate system by appointing a URL.
- Use Cases
- Tiling
- When the parent SVG document refers using iframe to each tiles there are divided from huge graphic, it can be used as a common coordinate system to locate each tile in the right region.
- Layering
- It is desirable that user can ad hoc compose SVG documents autonomously dispersing on WWW. In addition, it is helpful to identify it whether the coordinate system that each layer uses is common (it is assumed that each layer is created by different content creators).
- Tiling
Discussion points:
If we can simply consider rootmost user coordinate system of each SVG documents to be Global Coordinate System implicitly, is this functionality unnecessary?
To satisfy the requirements, it is necessary to make user coordinate system of a parent and all children equal so that UA places them appropriately.
To realize it, one of the following conditions is necessary for nested document structure by iframe.
1. x,y of parent document's iframe is 0, and neither child's viewbox nor width,height is specified.
parent.svg <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <rect x="0" y="0" width="400" height="400" stroke="blue" fill="none"/> <circle cx="100" cy="100" r="60" fill="none" stroke="blue" stroke-width="5"/> <image x="0" y="0" width="400" height="400" xlink:href="child.svg" />  </svg> child.svg <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" > <rect x="0" y="0" width="400" height="400" stroke="red" fill="none"/> <circle cx="100" cy="100" r="60" fill="red"/> </svg> Two circles overlap without a discrepancy.
2. x,y of parent document's iframe is 0, and width,height of parent's iframe and child's width,height are equal, furthermore viewbox is not specified.
parent.svg <image x="0" y="0" width="400" height="400" xlink:href="child.svg" /> child.svg <svg width="400" height="400" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" >
3. x,y,width,height of parent's iframe and x,y,width,height of child's viewbox are equal.
parent.svg <image x="50" y="50" width="300" height="300" xlink:href="child.svg" /> child.svg <svg viewBox="50,50,300,300" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" >
There are the following issues with these conditions.
1. and 2. are inconvenient for the dynamic loading of tiles. They are because they cannot express the region of the real tiles though the loading control of individual tiles is based on x,y,width,height(BBOX) of iframes.
3. needs the tight coupling of a parent and children. In other words, it is necessary for the parent to know strict viewBox of children beforehand. Therefore the ad hoc layering may be difficult.
And if a common coordinate system is implicit, UA is more likely to compose the contents of the different common coordinate system by mistake. There may be a lot of common coordinate systems. For example, the coordinate system of connection diagrams of the specific LSI, the coordinate system of the plan of the specific building. Of course the latitude longitude on the earth will be one of a more global common coordinate system.
Additions and changes for SVG1.1 Second Edition
4.5.25 Interface SVGTests
Interface SVGTests defines an interface which applies to all elements which have attributes 'requiredFeatures', 'requiredExtensions', 'systemLanguage' and 'media'.
interface SVGTests { readonly attribute SVGStringList requiredFeatures; readonly attribute SVGStringList requiredExtensions; readonly attribute SVGStringList systemLanguage; readonly attribute DOMString media; boolean hasExtension(in DOMString extension); boolean getMediaTest(); };
- Attributes:
- readonly attribute DOMString media;
Corresponds to attribute 'media' on the given element.
- readonly attribute DOMString media;
- Operations:
- boolean getMediaTest();
Returns true if the given element's media attribute matches. If given element don't have media attribute, returns true.
- boolean getMediaTest();
5.8 The 'iframe' element
(Insert after '5.7 The 'image' element')
- Categories
- Graphics element, graphics referencing element, structural element
- Content model
- Any number of the following elements, in any order:
- animation elements
- descriptive elements
- Attributes
- core attributes
- conditional processing attributes
# 'media' controlling LevelOfDetail and Tiling is added as conditional processing attributes
- presentation attributes
- xlink attributes
- 'class'
- 'style'
- 'externalResourcesRequired'
- 'transform'
- 'x'
- 'y'
- 'width'
- 'height'
- 'src'
# iframe may prefer 'src' instead of 'href'
- 'srcdoc'
- 'name'
- 'sandbox'
- 'seamless'
- DOM Interfaces
- SVGIFrameElement
The 'iframe' element introduces a new nested browsing context equivalent to iframe of HTML. The 'iframe' element also indicates that the browsing context are to be rendered into a given rectangle within the current user coordinate system. The 'iframe' element can refer to not only resources with 'image/svg+xml' MIME type but also all types of resources that can generate browsing context.
An 'iframe' element establishes a new viewport for the nested browsing context as described in Establishing a new viewport. The bounds for the new viewport are defined by attributes 'x', 'y', 'width' and 'height'.
When an 'iframe' element references a SVG document or other raster image file, asprct ratio and viewbox of it is determined by 'Asprct ratio and viewbox determination'.
The resource referenced by the 'iframe' element represents a separate browsing context and also document which generates its own parse tree and document object model (if the resource is XML). Thus, there is no inheritance of properties into the image.
Note: Unlike 'use', the 'iframe' element cannot reference elements within an SVG file. <= Should be removed for SVG Stacks
When 'display' property is set to none, not only corresponding element is not present in the rendering tree, but also the UA can control loading of a referred resource at UA's convenience. On the other hand, the 'visibility' property does not order restraint of the loading of the referred resource.
root.svg: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <globalCoordinateSystem href="http://purl.org/crs/84" transform="matrix(10,0,0,10,0,0)"/> <circle cx="30" cy="30" r="20.0" stroke="none" fill="green"/> <rect x="20" y="20" width="50" height="50" fill="none" stroke="blue" stroke-width="1"/>  </svg>
layer1.svg: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0,0,100,100"> <globalCoordinateSystem href="http://purl.org/crs/84" transform="matrix(10,0,0,10,-10,0)"/> <circle cx="30" cy="30" r="15.0" stroke="none" fill="blue"/> </svg>
Because 'iframe' can generate the browsing context with the dynamic SVG document, it can constitute cascading documents. Therefore it can express such as the tiling and layering. In addition, by combining 'media' attribute, it can bring Levels Of Detail functionality or a sort of responsive web content depending on viewbox and zooming.
5.9 Conditional processing
5.9.1 Conditional processing overview
SVG contains a 'switch' element along with attributes 'requiredFeatures', 'requiredExtensions' , 'systemLanguage' and 'media' to provide an ability to specify alternate viewing depending on the capabilities or status of a given user agent or the user's language.
Attributes 'requiredFeatures', 'requiredExtensions' , 'systemLanguage' and 'media' act as tests and return either true or false results. The 'switch' renders the first of its children for which all of these attributes test true. If the given attribute is not specified, then a true value is assumed.
Similar to the 'display' property, conditional processing attributes only affect the direct rendering of elements and do not prevent elements from being successfully referenced by other elements (such as via a 'use').
In consequence:
- 'requiredFeatures', 'requiredExtensions' , 'systemLanguage' and 'media' attributes affect 'a', 'altGlyph', 'foreignObject', 'textPath', 'tref', and 'tspan' elements.
- 'requiredFeatures', 'requiredExtensions' , 'systemLanguage' and 'media' attributes will have no effect on 'mask', 'clipPath', and 'pattern' elements.
- 'requiredFeatures', 'requiredExtensions' , 'systemLanguage' and 'media' attributes do not apply to the 'defs', and 'cursor' elements because they are not part of the rendering tree.
- 'requiredFeatures', 'requiredExtensions' , 'systemLanguage' and 'media' attributes affect 'animate', 'animateColor', 'animateMotion', 'animateTransform', and 'set' elements. If the conditional statement on these animation elements fails, the animation will never be triggered.
When elements which orders the loading and drawing by referring to an outside resource such as image, iframe, video and audio are targets of conditional processing, UA can control loading of a referred resource at UA's convenience.
Note: UA should not perform loading unconditionally to prevent overflow because referred resources as targets of conditional processing may be occasionally enormousness.
Same as CSS3 media queries, UA executes conditional processing dynamically depending on the change of the UA's state while there is the instance of the document. The change of UA's status is mainly related to media attribute.
5.9.2 The 'switch' element
The 'switch' element evaluates the 'requiredFeatures', 'requiredExtensions' , 'systemLanguage' and 'media' attributes on its direct
5.9.6 'media' attribute
(Insert before 5.8.6 Applicability of test attributes)
media = "<media_query_list>"
'media' attribute is prescribed as the specifications that expanded concept of 'media' attribute of CSS3 media queries. UA evaluates the condition expression based on UA's state.
A string of <media_query_list> is a valid media query if it matches the extended media_query_list production of the Media Queries specification. That extention is described in this section.
A string matches the environment of the user if it is the empty string, a string consisting of only space characters, or is a media query that matches the user's environment according to the definitions given in the Media Queries specification and its extension described in this section.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0,0,100,100"> <circle media="(min-zoom:0.5) and (max-zoom:5)" cx="30" cy="30" r="15.0" stroke="none" fill="blue"/> </svg>
5.11 Extension for <media_query_list>
(Insert after '5.10 Common attributes')
For the property of the media attribute of SVG, the following extension is applicable for media_query_list of CSS3 media queries.
5.11.1 Additional Media features
- 'zoom'
- Value: <scale>
- Applies to: visual and tactile media types
- Accepts min/max prefixes: yes
- The 'zoom' media feature describes the degree to which the contents have been scaled for display on the output device.
- 'close-viewport'
- Value: <length>
- Applies to: visual and tactile media types
- Accepts min/max prefixes: no
- When a part of the domain of the target object was in viewport, it becomes true. The domain is expanded boundingBox by buffer extent specified by Value. When value is not specified, it is boundingBox itself. When value is minus number, domain is reduced. When it is smaller than -height/2 or -width/2 it is ignored.
Note: This function was prepared for the consideration to show the demand of the contents creator who wishes a browser pass the processing of object out of viewport. Basically the loding control of enormous iframes or images such as cascaded tree-like iframe structure is entrusted to a browser, I feel that the function to introduce the wish of the contents creator into web browser has value. For example, present browsers reads all images by default for the long html document with large number of 'img's. In contrast, the lazy loader or image search of google has a function to read only images in viewport. The contents creator should be able to choose these behavior. This function will assists it.
5.11.2 Additional Values
<scale> is added.
<scale> is a value equivalent to the ratio of User Coordinate System for the Viewport Coordinate System. The exact definitions are as follows. When transformation matrix between SVG user coordinate system and coordinate system of the viewport (CTM) is following,
The <scale> is defined as follows
When one of absolute unit identifiers accompanies the value, scale becomes the ratio for physical unit for viewport coordinate system. It is calculated by the appropriate coefficient for it.
5.11.3 Units for scale
Following unit can be set in scale.
When unit is not specified, unit is considered equal to SVG user unit. As for the meaning of scale when unit was added, for example, 10 in means that 1 User Coordinat of SVG is 10 inches. When absolute unit such as 'in' is set, we can specify absolute scale which does not depend on parent document's CTM.
5.12 DOM interfaces
5.12.14 Interface SVGIFrameElement
The SVGIFrameElement interface corresponds to the 'iframe' element.
interface SVGIFrameElement : SVGElement, SVGURIReference, (...src...) SVGTests, SVGLangSpace, SVGExternalResourcesRequired, SVGStylable, EmbeddingElement, SVGTransformable { readonly attribute SVGAnimatedLength x; readonly attribute SVGAnimatedLength y; readonly attribute SVGAnimatedLength width; readonly attribute SVGAnimatedLength height; readonly attribute SVGAnimatedPreserveAspectRatio preserveAspectRatio; };
- Attributes
- x (readonly SVGAnimatedLength)
Corresponds to attribute 'x' on the given 'iframe' element.
- y (readonly SVGAnimatedLength)
Corresponds to attribute 'y' on the given 'iframe' element.
- width (readonly SVGAnimatedLength)
Corresponds to attribute 'width' on the given 'iframe' element.
- height (readonly SVGAnimatedLength)
Corresponds to attribute 'height' on the given 'iframe' element.
- preserveAspectRatio (readonly SVGAnimatedPreserveAspectRatio)
Corresponds to attribute 'preserveAspectRatio' on the given 'iframe' element.
- x (readonly SVGAnimatedLength)
5.12.15 Interface EmbeddingElement
Equivalent to GetSVGDocument.
interface EmbeddingElement { SVGDocument contentDocument(); };
7.8 The 'preserveAspectRatio' attribute
Attribute preserveAspectRatio="[defer] <align> [<meetOrSlice>]", which is available for all elements that establish a new viewport (see elements that establish viewports), plus the 'image','iframe', 'marker', 'pattern' and 'view' elements, indicates whether or not to force uniform scaling.
For 'image'and 'iframe'elements, 'preserveAspectRatio' indicates how referenced images should be fitted with respect to the reference rectangle and whether the aspect ratio of the referenced image should be preserved with respect to the current user coordinate system. If the value of 'preserveAspectRatio' on an 'image'and 'iframe' element starts with 'defer' then
7.9 Aspect ratio and viewbox determination for referred content by 'image' and 'iframe'
(Insert after '7.8 Common attributes')
When an 'image' or 'iframe' element references an SVG document or other images, the placement and scaling of it is controlled by the 'preserveAspectRatio' attribute on the 'image' or 'iframe' element.
When an 'image'or 'iframe' element references an SVG document, the 'clip' and 'overflow' properties on the root element in the referenced SVG document are ignored (in the same manner as the 'x', 'y', 'width' and 'height' attributes are ignored). Unless the value of 'preserveAspectRatio' on the 'image' or 'iframe' element starts with 'defer', the 'preserveAspectRatio' attribute on the root element in the referenced SVG document is also ignored (see 'preserveAspectRatio' for details). Instead, the 'preserveAspectRatio' attribute on the referencing 'image' or 'iframe' element defines how the SVG content is fitted into the viewport and the 'clip' and 'overflow' properties on the 'image' or 'iframe' element define how the SVG content is clipped (or not) relative to the viewport.
The value of the 'viewBox' attribute to use when evaluating the 'preserveAspectRatio' attribute is defined by the referenced content. For content that clearly identifies a viewBox (e.g. an SVG file with the 'viewBox' attribute on the outermost svg element) that value should be used. Where no value is readily available (e.g. an SVG file with no 'viewBox' attribute on the outermost svg element) the 'preserveAspectRatio' attribute is ignored, and only the translation due to the 'x' & 'y' attributes of the viewport is used to display the content.
For example, if the image element referenced a PNG or JPEG and preserveAspectRatio="xMinYMin meet", then the aspect ratio of the raster would be preserved (which means that the scale factor from image's coordinates to current user space coordinates would be the same for both X and Y), the raster would be sized as large as possible while ensuring that the entire raster fits within the viewport, and the top/left of the raster would be aligned with the top/left of the viewport as defined by the attributes 'x', 'y', 'width' and 'height' on the 'image' element. If the value of 'preserveAspectRatio' was 'none' then aspect ratio of the image would not be preserved. The image would be fitted such that the top/left corner of the raster exactly aligns with coordinate ('x', 'y') and the bottom/right corner of the raster exactly aligns with coordinate ('x'+'width', 'y'+'height').
7.10 Establishing a new viewport
An 'image' element that references an SVG file will result in the establishment of a temporary new viewport since the referenced resource by definition will have an 'svg' element. An 'iframe' element behaves in the same way as the above.
#Remove '7.13 Geographic coordinate systems' section
7.13 'Global coordinate systems' (Add new section)
'Global coordinate systems' provides a function to share a coordinate system by declaring a common coordinate system between plural SVG documents.
When SVG document refers to external SVG by iframe, it affect on coodrinate transformation such as placement or scaling of a referred document.
When both the parent and the child SVG documents has 'globalCoordinateSystem' element, and the 'href' attribute that they have refers to the same resource, this function becomes effective.
7.13.1 The 'globalCoordinateSystem' element
Contents with global coordinates has a 'globalCoordinateSystem' element as the direct child of rootmost 'svg' element.
- attributes
- href="<URL for Global Coordinate System>"
This attribute specifies the global coordinates system of the SVG document.
- transform = "<transform-list>" | "none"
This transform attribute specifies the conversion parameters from global coordinate system to user coordinate system of the document.
- href="<URL for Global Coordinate System>"
The transformation is as follows.
- Xs: X coordinate of SVG user coordinate system
- Ys: Y coordinate of SVG user coordinate system
- Xg: X coordinate of global coordinate system
- Yg: Y coordinate of global coordinate system
- a , b , c , d , e , f: The applicable values of parameters(SVG transform(a,b,c,d,e,f) )
When this properties is not declared, it is considered that that value is matrix (1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0) as a default.
7.13.2 Coodrdinate Transformation and Viewport Establishment
A referred content is transformed into User Coordinate of a referring SVG document (the coordinate system of this is viewport coordinate system for referred content) via Global Coordinate System.
The expanded transformation formula are as follows.
The parameters with suffix (i) are parameters of matrix of the 'transform' attribute of a 'golbalCoordinateSystem' element of a referred SVG document. The parameters with suffix (c) are parameters of matrix of the 'transform' attribute of a 'golbalCoordinateSystem' element of a referring SVG document.
Referred SVG document is reversely transformed to global coordinate space once by its transformation parameter. And, it is transformed to User Coordinates of referring SVG document by its transformation parameter.
Accordingly, CTM of referred SVG document is produced from these conversion formula. And the 'x', 'y', 'width' and 'height' attributes of a referring SVG document's 'iframe' element doesn't affect the coordinates transformation (determination of CTM) of referred SVG document, they have a role of viewport establishment other than the determination of CTM. That is, viewport (in viewport coodrinate system) on a referring document is set up by these attributes. On the other hand, CTM of the referred SVG document to which manages the arrangement to the viewport is determined by global coordinate system.
Note: Therefore, in cascading referred documents all documente has the same global coordinate system, the coordinate transformation to the rootmost document can be done directly without the transformation to intermediate documents.
16.6 Expansion of 'pointer-events'
The behavior of cross window (overwrapped window) pointer-events are expanded.
In addition to functions of 'visiblePainted', the following function is expanded. When pointer event is not captured in applicable window, it is transferred to behind window.
Because it can be applied to 'iframe', it has security consideration. When parent and child are in the same origin, there are no limitation. On the other hand, it is limited by CORS mechanism when they are not in the same origin. That is, pointer events are not transferred by default to the child document.

Hello you fresh level 15 person. I see that nice pretty star by the side of your name. You got some good help from those trainers and you schooled a lot of people with your fresh starter. You got your last level up card and you think the ownage is going to continue. I'm sorry I'm here to prepeare you for your new home Folrart where you go back down to the bottom of the totem pole. But by the time you finish reading this guide it should help your transition be a little less rough. If you are super new and are still in crest and having problems check out this link (http://www.alteil.com/forum/index.php?f ... pic#p15631) and this link (http://www.alteil.com/forum/index.php?f ... =viewtopic) This will help you with some more basic questions. When you get more advanced this link (http://www.alteil.com/forum/index.php?f ... =viewtopic) will help you with more complex elements of the game.

Chapter 1
The first thing you need to know is that you are at a great knowledge level disadvantage. Second is that everyone has seen some version of your modified starter. This leaves you with very few aces up your sleeve. If you have been playing your Mirage Master you should have some gran saved up to get a pack or 2. Everything seems up hill from this point. Truthfully it is. But you're not alone in this feeling. I had problems in Crest. I probably had the worst record in Crest of any iczer. But I learned not to take loss too personal. This is what you will have to learn as well. Starting off your wins will be way below your win loss average in crest.
So how do we turn this all around? Well you're going to need some tools. Your first tool is pen/paper or Word Processor. The second thing you will need is the in game chat. The last tool you will need is a fresh perspective. Now with these tools the next 2 chapters will be a lot easier.
Chapter 2
Hello Mr. Anti-Social and Ms. Anti-Social. You don't have much to say and you think all other Iczers are below you. That's fine. But your new position requires you to be a bit more humble. Open up the chat program and take a peek in. Do you see anyone in there that is level 20 or higher? If so ask some questions about what is popular to run, what is the current top tactic, and how do I beat Gowen rush. Amazingly people will usually respond and be quite helpful. Heck they might actually want to help you in the future. Wow that wasn't that hard. The biggest resource to Iczers is chat. All the top Iczers pop into chat at one time or another. Not only that, but several good tactics just might get dropped in your lap without any work. Many times the decks that are bothering you are bothering other players as well.
Now I want you to go to another part of these forums. I want you to go to Annarose's Sanctum. I want you to read through the top 5 threads. When you go through all of those threads and actually read them you will be better then the average Iczer. Why is that? The top tactics and cards will always be talked about and how they can or can not be nerfed. That little card you didn't think was worth anything might actually be a mvp. Not only that if you face X broke deck you know all its weaknesses. Annarose's Sanctum usually has other loose thoughts that you may be able to tie together into the new big deck.
Chapter 3
If you got this far then I got you for the rest of the guide so sit back, get an iced coffee and chill. One of the big things that has to change is your mindset. This involves your knowledge base and how you see cards. The best thing to do is to read through every card in the game. Yes I SAID IT. The main reason you want to do this is know what cards can do in general so you're not surprised when you see the card. Many times certain cards beg other cards to be played in tandem. If you see lycan cards you're going to see Succubus and Eskatia. It's just a matter of when. Also going through the cards allows you to mark out cards you want to use in the future. This is when your pen and paper/word processor comes in. Start writing down cards and combos you start to think of. This way you can come back to them when formulating decks.
Take part in the Challenge of Fortnight. You need to stretch your mind. Think about underrated cards. For example. At one point in time I hated to use Ignition. Either the unit was too slow or didn't have enough HP for the card to be useful. After the Fortnight challenge I saw all sort of uses for Ignition. The best combo was Ignition with the Refess angel soul skill with Swordsman Bazgar or Larut or even Fire Dragon. Playing new ideas that aren't seen that often gives you the edge over the cookie cutter Iczer. There will always be a top deck that everyone either builds or builds to beat. It is your job to find the oddity to play that people will be caught off guard and unable to respond how they want. I will not sugar coat that copying top decks will get you wins. Because like in any games top decks will dominate. Creativity will prove you are not a one trick pony.
DO NOT RECYCLE CARDS UNTIL YOU GET 4 OR MORE OF THAT CARD! I REPEAT DO NOT RECYCLE CARDS UNTIL YOU GET 4 OR MORE OF THAT CARD! It doesn't matter if you're Refess only or whatever. You will kick yourself in the head when you realize what you lost. I know I did. Don't recycle rares kids that one card you want isn't worth it.
Now at this stage in the guide you can pick the track that most likely fits how you are going to operate in the game.
Track 1: I'm not paying for a free game.
This is the most common perspective that people have in Alteil. There are many players who do well that don't pay at all. With that being said your level of dedication and shrewd you are with your gran. If you play for free the only way you can keep up with the top decks is to play a lot and win a lot. Your success is going to depend on your weekly allowance from the game. This means you are going to be playing Gowen rush for a long while to build up wins. Why Gowen rush? Well it's the cheapest effective deck a person can play even with the new starters. Gowen rush uses a lot of low rarity cards that are effective. This is why people hate on Gowen so much and call them the "Newb" sphere to play. Many of the promotions or special lottos you really aren't going to be participating in. When it comes to EX packs buy only after the next set comes out. The effectiveness of EX packs seem to grow when next expansion is taken into consideration. You will be saving and saving and saving so that you can buy maybe a box or 2 from the next expansion and pray you get the cards you need. You will also be dependent on winning treasure battles so you can get new cards and also recycle multiples to get more gran. Playing without paying is doable just realize you will have a rough time if you don't have the right cards. Point cards are going to help you either fill out low rarities you need or get you a really good card once and at best twice a month. Before point cards you could have a flashy avatar but now you will be on the basic stool for a long while. Another option you have is to play your Mirage master for 10 gran a day so you can play the lotto every day. This way you can get a new card everyday and build up your card files. If you pull a 3 star or above count yourself lucky. The lotto odds are better for beginners then for older players. So play the lotto and give some cats in folrart a run for their gran.
Track 2: I'm willing to spend a little money.
Let me define what a little money is. A little money is 20-30 dollars ever so often when you get it. Thirty dollars and up gives you the most gran for your buck. But people have budgets. This puts you in a better position then the person that won't pay any money at all. The first is that if you follow the same habits as the person above you should have a good amount of gran saved up by your 20's and early 30's. Not only that, but you will be able to employ more tactics and play more then one type of deck. You might get lucky in the lotto and pull a 4 or 5 star rarity card that has an awesome soul skill. You are going to be more likely to take part in most events and maybe even drop enough money for 3-4 boxes of a new expansion but then you're not going to spend for a long while. Pay attention to the forums on what to buy, and how much and when to stop buying. You will most likely have the same success rate as the person who doesn't pay but you will play less and run about even. If you play more then a non-spender you will eventually out pace them and have more cards and options then they do. With the point cards you will find your existence a bit more comfortable. The more you play the more you have over the non-buyer. You are saving your point cards for 4 and 5 stars. Your mainly looking for soul skills or fill out some cards so you can have a play set. Point cards made your existence a lot more comfortable. The lotto should only be played early on or when you have recycled and recycled after you bought a box and you have less gran then a pack. You will get to the point after 3-8 months where the lotto can not get you cards you are missing.
Track 3: Money is no object
If you are reading this then you are either super competitive or a collector. If you're going to spend money there is no need to splurge or spend blindly. You're most likely going to buy 5+ boxes of a set and then some over time. Don't rush and drop a ton of money on a set when it comes out. Distribution will come back and bite you in the butt like it did me this last set. (NO PROXIES AND 5 EXTRA RIGHT HAND SHIELDS) Knowing what is better to buy, packs or boxes, will max out your spending. Only in large, spending 80+ dollars per set, can one truly be hardcore competitive early on. All this does is shorten the gap between you and vets. Experience will still be on their side, but if you followed this guide you should give them a good fight. If you want to complete a set you are looking to spend 300+ dollars plus on each set 1 and 2 in boxes. Then on set 3 your looking about 200-250 dollars on packs for set 3 to get a decent number of Proxies. Spending big puts the odds in your favor each time when it comes to buying. Point cards now let you target the third copy of the 5 star rare you need to complete your set. Your not spending your fight money on anything other then point cards. If possible spend your gran on avatar elements when they go on sale. Why. Your gran gives you a "chance" for getting the card you want. Point cards guarantee you the card you want. You will be playing at a casual rate, but don't forsake mirage master fight money. Playing for an extra 30 or 40 fight money a day from mirage master will get you your wanted rares faster. It may take a while to get it though. One thing to consider is the fight money potions from the item store. Read this link.
After you decide what you want to do and how much you want to invest gran wise pull out your best deck and go for that silver star you wanted. This way you move closer to leveling and get the fight money for the rare you want. Unlike the other 2 tracks you should have an extra 150-300 gran you can spare. The lotto is not your friend! I REPEAT! The lotto is not your friend. You will have a majority of the 1 and 2 stars. The lotto is weighted toward those teir cards. So play the lotto at your own risk.

ok so we all know big blue is pretty meh.
the only decent big blue card i could think of just a wee while ago was vonderam and thats because i forgot about big noze.
but anyway what i was thinking is redesigning older cards and make them do something grim count related which would make them more viable and unique to falkow.
so for legrye we could do something like changing his auto skill to do damage = 5*grim count to x amount of units(the x would be a balanced number) or even make that an action skill and give him an auto that adds 1 to the grim count. and then do something similar to water dragon.

May 6, 2016
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- Khalif Wyatt scored 31 points, finishing the game with an injured left thumb that had him grimacing before his clinching free throws, and Temple broke with its one-and-done NCAA tournament trend Friday, beating North Carolina State 76-72 in the second round of the East Regional.
The ninth-seeded Owls (24-9) opened a 17-point lead before Wyatt -- the Atlantic 10's player of the year and top scorer -- hurt his left thumb and left the game briefly, returning with black tape on the non-shooting hand.
Every shot was an adventure, but he made enough -- including six painful but perfect free throws in the final 32 seconds -- to keep Temple around for more than one game. The Owls had lost their opener in four of their last five NCAA trips.
No. 8 NC State (24-11) trailed most of the game and came up short of a deep tournament run on the 30th anniversary of its national title.

Newly-released records show that James Holmes had what one professor described as a brief romantic relationship, but few friends while attending the University of Colorado, Denver.
The emails regarding James Holmes were released Wednesday in response to a public records request.
One stunned professor emailed a friend that Holmes had briefly had a girlfriend. The woman was in India at the time of the attack.
The chair of the neuroscience department wrote that Holmes was not close to his fellow students in the program but that he had one or two friends in other programs.
The vast majority of the emails were redacted for privacy reasons.

Cell therapy has been extensively investigated in heart disease but less so in the kidney. We considered whether cell therapy also might be useful in diabetic kidney disease. Cognizant of the likely need for autologous cell therapy in humans, we sought to assess the efficacy of donor cells derived from both healthy and diabetic animals. Eight-week-old db/db mice were randomized to receive a single intravenous injection of PBS or 0.5 × 106 early-outgrowth cells (EOCs) from db/m or db/db mice. Effects were assessed 4 weeks after cell infusion. Untreated db/db mice developed mesangial matrix expansion and tubular epithelial cell apoptosis in association with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and overexpression of thioredoxin interacting protein (TxnIP). Without affecting blood glucose or blood pressure, EOCs not only attenuated mesangial and peritubular matrix expansion, as well as tubular apoptosis, but also diminished ROS and TxnIP overexpression in the kidney of db/db mice. EOCs derived from both diabetic db/db and nondiabetic db/m mice were equally effective in ameliorating kidney injury and oxidative stress. The similarly beneficial effects of cells from healthy and diabetic donors highlight the potential of autologous cell therapy in the related clinical setting.

Liquitex Acrylic Mediums are made from 100% acrylic polymer emulsion, and form durable films when dry. They have excellent flexibility and resistance to chemicals, water, abrasion and ultraviolet radiation. When added to acrylic paint, they alter the handling characteristics, appearance or volume to produce an infinite variety of effects.
Mediums are non-yellowing, non-sticky when wet, and non-tacky when dry. They dry slowly by evaporation, display excellent adhesion, and are non-toxic and intermixable. Available in different viscosities and sheens.
Introductory Mediums Set of 6 — This set offers a great chance to try out six Liquitex best sellers and innovative new products in 100 ml size. Includes one jar each Clear Gesso, Slow-Dri Blending Medium, Flexible Modeling Paste, Gloss Super Heavy Gel, Pouring Medium, and High Gloss Varnish.
Flow-Aid Fluid Additive — Increases the flow, absorbency, and blending of any water-based paint, ink, or dye. Minimizes brushstrokes. Use with Liquitex Soft Body color to create very fluid washes without hard edges; create staining effects on raw canvas and produce a fluid spray when mixed with acrylics in airbrushes or air guns.
Fabric Medium — This medium enhances the workability of Liquitex Acrylics on fabric. It controls bleeding in transparent designs and gives a smooth, consistent flow of paint. Reducing the stiffness that results when using acrylic directly from the jar, it also eliminates the need to scrub roughly textured fabrics in order for paint to adhere to or penetrate surface of the fabric. This fabric medium prevents paint from dragging, skipping, and other uneven applications.
Flexible Modeling Paste — A matte, opaque mixture of marble dust and polymer emulsion that is used to build heavy textures and three-dimensional forms on flexible or rigid supports.
Gel Medium, Gloss — A high viscosity medium, it dries to a crystal clear gloss finish for sparkling, transparent impastos and textured glazes. Translucent when wet, it is transparent to translucent when dry depending on the thickness of the application. An ideal paint extender, it increases the brilliance and transparency of color without changing paint thickness, resulting in paint similar in color depth to oil paint. Use it as an extender, a ground, or as the binder for powdered pigments to make an inexpensive "student grade" high viscosity thick gloss paint.
Gel Medium, Gloss Heavy — A heavy-bodied medium of great density and extra high viscosity, Heavy Gel dries to a translucent gloss finish. It increases body, density and viscosity, attaining the consistency of oil paint with brush or palette knife marks. Extending paint while increasing brilliance and transparency, it keeps paint workable longer than other gel mediums. Use it as an extender, a ground, or a binder for powdered pigments to make an inexpensive "student grade" extra-heavy viscosity thick gloss paint.
Gel Medium, Matte — A high viscosity medium, Matte Gel displays the same qualities as the Gel Medium, except that it dries to a satin, matte finish, and has greater adhesive abilities. Use it as an extender, as a ground, for impasto effects, or as a binder for powered pigments to make an inexpensive "student grade" high viscosity thick matte paint.
Gel Medium, Super Heavy Gloss — A superior adhesive for collage and mixed media projects, or create sculptural effects and high-peak consistency. Dries clear to translucent depending upon thickness, with very low shrinkage. Flexible, non-yellowing, and water-resistant when dry.
Gloss Medium — Liquitex Gloss Medium is also known as "Gloss Medium Varnish." Use it as a non-removable final picture varnish where a glossy protective coat is desired, or as a painting and glazing medium. It enhances the depth of color intensity, increases transparency and gloss, eases the flow of paint, and adds flexibility and adhesion to the paint film. Translucent when wet, and transparent when dry, this 100% acrylic polymer varnish is water-soluble when wet and can be thinned. Use it as an extender, a fixative, a ground, or a varnish.
Note — Liquitex Gloss Medium is also known as "Gloss Medium Varnish." We disagree with this terminology, because a varnish must technically be removable from the paint surface. Use a true varnish if, for conservation reasons, the varnish must be removable at a later date.
Iridescent Tinting Medium — Producing a range of iridescent or metallic colors when mixed with acrylics, this medium viscosity medium allows the artist to control iridescent intensity. It is opaque when wet, transparent to translucent when dry, and will not oxidize.
Liquitex Palette Wetting Spray — Liquitex Palette Wetting Spray slows drying time of acrylic color on palette or canvas. It also improves color blending. Simply spray and re-spray as needed to prevent acrylic paint from skinning over.
Super Heavy Matte Gel — Extra heavy body for thickening and blending acrylic color. It extends the volume and increases transparency, while slowing drying time. Translucent finish retains high peaks, crisp brush, and knife strokes.
Matte Medium — Mix medium viscosity Matte Medium with acrylic colors for completely matte, dull and flat effects and a non-reflecting finish. When mixed with acrylic paint, it extends color, increases transparency, matte and film integrity, eases paint flow, and adds to the flexibility and adhesion of paint film. It is opaque when wet and translucent when dry. Use it as an extender, a fixative, or a ground. Mix with Gloss Medium for a semi-gloss or satin medium.
Modeling Paste — This extra high viscosity paste is made from marble dust and 100% polymer emulsion. Suitable for building heavy textures on rigid supports and three-dimensional forms, it dries to the hardness of stone. It can be textured while wet and sanded or carved when dry. Dry paste out in the container for use as clay. Drying too quickly on surfaces causes cosmetic, not structural cracking. Modeling paste adheres to any non-oily, absorbent surface. When it is mixed with acrylic colors, it acts as a weak tinting white while increasing thickness and rigidity. Used extensively for decorating picture frames, it can be used for sculptural or paper-mache purposes, rigid support, flexible support, and as an absorbent or non-absorbent ground.
Pouring Medium — Designed to reduce crazing in poured applications, this fluid medium dries clear, glossy, and flexible. Mixed with soft body palette color, it is ideal for pouring puddles and acrylic sheets.
Slow-Dri Blending Fluid — This clear-drying Blending Fluid is uniquely formulated for superior surface blending with acrylics. Add up to 50% of this medium without jeopardizing the strength of the paint. It increases the "open" working time up to 40%. Great for forming softer edges and modeled forms. It dries clear, and is flexible, non-yellowing, and water-resistant when dry.
Slow-Dri Gel — This clear-drying gel has characteristics similar to Slow-Dri Blending Fluid. Use it where retention of brushstrokes and impasto effects are desired. It increases the "open" working time up to 40%. It dries clear, and is flexible, non-yellowing, and water-resistant when dry.
Slow-Dri Fluid Retarder — Use this additive with Liquitex Acrylics to extend drying time. It increases transparency when floating, shading, blending, and washing colors. Use Slow-Dri Fluid Retarder in place of water before loading the brush with paint, to eliminate drag and improve flow. It helps to reduce paint skinning on the palette, and is excellent for liner work, transparent washes, and wet-on-wet techniques. Cleans up with soap and water.
Slow-Dri Gel Retarder — Use this additive with Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Color, Liquitex Heavy Body Mediums, and all other acrylic paints and mediums when working in low humidity, or whenever increased workability and blending time are desired. Similar to
String Gel — Enhances depth of color, while increasing transparency and flow. Dries glossy and transparent with a honey-like consistency. It is also permanent, non-yellowing, flexible, and water-resistant.
Liquithick — This archival gel additive boasts a unique polymer formula that thickens acrylic paints and mediums without adding transparency. Used in small amounts, it produces handling characteristics very close to that of oil or encaustic paint. At higher concentrations, it can thicken paint or mediums to a
Ultra Matte Gel — Use ultra Matte Gel to extend paint up to double amounts without changing color position. Dries to a matte finish, maintaining color opacity.
Shipping Note — Due to manufacturer distribution restrictions, Liquitex products cannot be shipped to addresses outside of North America.

The only thing i've done in sketchup.. I suprised my wife with an accurate view of our house in Google Earth, right down to the exact placement on the property

The BBC's stylish and entertaining series The Hour has been compared to Mad Men, in large part because of the approximate time period (mid 1950's) the show is set and because of the copious amount of drinking and smoking that characters indulge in. Aside from those superficial comparisons, The Hour tackles mid-century, hot-button political issues through the prism of an hour-long, topical news program (think early 60 Minutes) run by young, idealistic journalists who inevitably butt heads with both their own management as well as the political establishment. What makes the series really tick is the element of mystery that emerges to provide a bit of tension and noir to this excellent, two-season drama.

John Thomas Larimer

Micayla Medek
Veronica Moser-Sullivan
Alex Matthew Sullivan
Alex Teves
Rebecca Ann Wingo
Jonathan Blunk, 26, was shot to death while protecting his girlfriend.
On the movie-theater floor, Blunk kept pushing her as she heard shots being fired.
She eventually noticed that he had stopped pushing, but she didn't think he had been killed.
Read a complete profile of Blunk here.
His name was Alexander Boik, but to the hundreds who stood on the Gateway High School football field to remember him, he was AJ.
His family called Boik a young man with "a warm and loving heart."
Read a complete profile of Boik here.
Jesse Childress was fatally wounded when he dove in front of a friend, a female Air Force member from Buckley, according to Childress' friend Kevin Thao.
"He would have done that," Thao said Saturday evening at the makeshift memorial erected across the street from the Century 16 theater.
Read a complete profile of Childress here.
Gordon W. Cowden's family released this statement:
"Loving father, outdoorsman and small business owner, Cowden was a true Texas gentleman that loved life and his family. A quick witted world traveler with a keen sense of humor, he will be remembered for his devotion to his children and for always trying his best to do the right thing, no matter the obstacle."
Read a complete profile of Cowden here.
Jessica Ghawi grew up a hockey fan in football-crazed Texas.
She followed that passion to Colorado to forge a career in sports journalism. It probably took her to Toronto, where just weeks ago, she walked out of a shopping-mall food court moments before a gunman shot seven people.
Early Friday in Aurora, Ghawi did not escape the gunfire.
Read a complete profile of Ghawi here.
John Thomas Larimer's last act was a heroic act. It was not, however, an act of bravery performed in his role as a Navy sailor it was an act of love and sacrifice performed as a boyfriend.
Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Larimer was killed early Friday in the Aurora movie theater massacre while protecting his girlfriend, Kelley Vojtsek, from the barrage of bullets.
Read a complete profile of Larimer here.
Matt McQuinn died protecting his girlfriend.
As a gunman calmly walked up the aisle of an Aurora movie theater Friday firing at moviegoers, the 27-year-old Ohio native dived on top of Samantha Yowler. Her brother Nick, 32, also tried to shield her, said Robert L. Scott, attorney for the McQuinn and Yowler families.
Read a complete profile of McQuinn here.
Everyone knew her as Cayla.
Micayla Medek worked as a Subway "sandwich artist." "I do everything lol," she said on her Facebook page.
"I'm a simple independent girl who's just trying to get her life together while still having fun," she wrote.
Read a complete profile of Medek here.
Veronica Moser-Sullivan will always be 6 years old.
The "vibrant, excitable," blond-haired, blue-eyed little girl, who was bragging five days ago about learning how to swim, was one of the 12 people killed in the Aurora theater shooting Friday, said her great-aunt Annie Dalton.
Read a complete profile of Moser-Sullivan here.
Sometime late Thursday, Alex Sullivan posted on his Facebook page: "#TheDarkKnightRises OMG COUNTING down till it start cant wait going to be the best birthday ever."
Sullivan died on his 27th birthday. He and co-workers from a Red Robin restaurant had gone to the premiere. Sullivan was killed, and seven co-workers were injured.
Read a complete profile of Sullivan here.
A friend, identified only as Caitlin on Twitter, posted messages on the social media network early Friday from the Century Aurora 16 theater, and wrote on Twitter early Saturday that Alex Teves was, "One of the best men I ever knew. The world isn't as good a place without him." She also described Teves as a fan of the University of Arizona and Spider-Man.
Read a complete profile of Teves here.
On one of their first nights without her, Rebecca Ann Wingo's family gathered on the patio, swapping memories of a woman who for 32 years had been the center of their world.
They remembered a woman who always sat in the first row at church, who devoured books in a single sitting and always seemed to be juggling multiple projects.
Read a complete profile of Wingo here.

Avalanche Danger Scale
No rating centre closed
The avalanche forecasting season for the region has now ended and will start up again next June. It is possible for avalanche conditions to exist whenever there is snow on the ground. We advise using caution in steep areas and on slopes lee to prevailing storms for at least a few days following fresh snowfall. Ice axes and crampons will be a must during these times. If temperatures have not been below 0 degrees, then expect some wet slide activity especially through the hottest part of the day. NE – W aspects will usually soften the quickest and the most, so proceed with caution and be prepared to change plan. During significant rain fall spring avalanches may reach valley floor. For further avalanche information please contact the local Department of Conservation office. Enjoy your summer.

Monday night's shooting of a Highway Patrolman in Durham is yet another example of just how dangerous everyday can be for those in law enforcement.
Pitt County Highway Patrol Trooper W.D. Coley says, "When you stop a car, you're trained to handle things in certain ways. They may change. What may be a speeding ticket, might turn into a shooting situation."
That is exactly what happened Monday night in Durham when Trooper Mike Potts was shot four times during a traffic stop on U.S. 70.
Greenville resident Adrianna Gray says, "The fact that he's a State Trooper and he was on a heavily trafficked interstate that I myself have been on numerous times just really took me back."
Trooper Coley says as a member of law enforcement, he takes the shooting personal. " Somebody that would stoop to that level to try to kill a law enforcement officer, somebody that is out there to enforce the law and try to be good for the community, and then for them to try to take their life? Yeah, it hits us all."
Trooper Coley says every traffic stop brings its concerns, but their goal is to protect the community. When incidents like the shooting happen it reminds him just how dangerous his job can be.

Green Living: How To Dispose Of Old Carpet
So you're finally getting rid of that old, eyesore carpet in the living room … what a liberating feeling! But how can you be kind to the planet at the same time that you're beautifying your home? If you've got FLOR, you can take advantage of the company's Return & Recycle Program, but otherwise it's not always clear what your green options are.
Cynthia Phakos of Koffka Phakos Design recently tackled this question at Green Home Guide, and her answer was so helpful that I wanted to share it here. Although Phakos says that "there is no nationwide infrastructure in place for recycling carpet at this time," she has several good ideas:
- Contact the vendor - If you know who made or sold your carpet, contact them directly and ask if they have a recycling program. Or contact other carpet manufacturers in your area to see if they'll take it.
- Find a carpet recycling facility – If you're lucky, you'll locate one near you on the Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE) website, or perhaps find someone in your region whom you can call for more advice.
- Reuse or donate it – Consider making area rugs from your carpet or donating it to an organization like Habitat for Humanity. If it's not too dingy, I also suggest listing it for free on sites like Craigslist, Freecycle, or Planet Reuse.
- Make your new carpet a recyclable one – "As you are also planning to purchase a new carpet, you are in a position to consider what you will do at the end of its useful life, and preference should be given to those carpets that are recyclable," says Phakos.
