How to Upgrade Your Office Lunch
Now that Labor Day Weekend's over and everyone's snapping out of lazy vacation mode, you might find yourself spending more time at the office to play catch-up. If you're eating lunch at your desk more often than not these days, you're not alone: sixty-two percent of office workers report that they typically eat lunch at their desks. But not every desk lunch has to be a #saddesklunch! Here's how to give your midday meal a well-deserved promotion.
Fork it over — Give your meal a boost with silverware and a proper plate and bowl. In one study, people ate the same yogurt with a plastic spoon and a metal one, and rated it 15 percent tastier when eating with real flatware.
Play dress up — According to a survey by Bon Appétit Management (which operates cafés at companies and universities), 94 percent of millennials think customizing their meals is important. Make it easy to tweak your lunch with a stash of flavored olive oils and vinegars, or your favorite hot sauce.
Call a friend — Grab lunch with your coworkers—it might make you even better at your job. One recent study found that firefighters who ate together performed better than those who dined apart, an effect that also applies to those who wield Excel files instead of fire hoses, according to Kevin Kniffin, the study's author. Eating with friends is more fun, too!
Ready for your lunch break? Try these cool recipes made from brand new supermarket products. The best part? You can whip 'em up right in your breakroom!
Vietnamese Noodle Soup — Break 1 oz. thin rice noodles in half; place in 2-cup jar with a lid. Fill jar with boiling water; close lid. Let sit 20 minutes; drain. Add 1 1⁄2 cups Nona Lim's Vietnamese Pho Broth ($6.99). Microwave, uncovered, until noodles are tender, about 2 minutes. Top with bean sprouts, halved sugar snap peas, shredded chicken, cilantro, mint and sriracha.
Sausage & Egg Toast – Microwave 2 Johnsonville Fully Cooked Breakfast Patties ($3.99) until hot, about 40 seconds. Crack an egg into a water-filled bowl. Microwave 1 minute, then cook in 15-second bursts until white is opaque, about 30 seconds more. Place egg and sausage on a toasted slice of Pepperidge Farm 3 Cheese Italian Bread ($3.99); season. Top with halved cherry tomatoes.
Bacon Caesar Salad – Microwave 2 slices Al Fresco Uncured Chicken Bacon ($4.49) until crispy on the edges, about 1 1⁄2 minutes. Slice and toss with Elevate Sunny Caesar Salad ($4.49).

The Great Supermarket Grill-Off!
We like to consider ourselves the recipe experts, but we also give props where they're due, and man, have supermarkets been upping their recipe game lately. For our Grocery Store Grill-Off story in the July/August 2016 issue, we scoped out the sites of several well-known grocery chains, and what we found surprised us—positively!—in scale (Whole Foods has almost 4,000 dishes!), quality (still talking about the Aldi burger we tried…), and creativity (I ended up watching Stop & Shop's videos for fun).
In order to pick our favorite, though, it all came down to the food. To have a fair test, we picked a Greek burger from each.
Here are the contestants:

3 Cool Ways to Use Matcha Powder
Starbucks is sprinkling it into lattes and grocery stores are stocking it on shelves: But what is this curious green powder called matcha, anyway?

An exhilarating tale of darkness, love, and redemption inspired by the classic fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood, from the author of Cruel Beauty.
When Rachelle was 15, she was good - apprenticed to her aunt and in training to protect her village from dark magic. But she was also reckless - straying from the forest path in search of a way to free her world from the threat of eternal darkness. After an illicit meeting goes dreadfully wrong, Rachelle is forced to make a terrible choice that binds her to the very evil she had hoped to defeat.
Three years later Rachelle has given her life to serving the realm, fighting deadly creatures in a vain effort to atone. When the king orders her to guard his son, Armand - the man she hates most - Rachelle forces Armand to help her hunt for the legendary sword that might save their world. Together they navigate the opulent world of the courtly elite, where beauty and power reign, and no one can be trusted. And as the two become unexpected allies, they discover far-reaching conspiracies, hidden magic... and a love that may be their undoing. Within a palace built on unbelievable wealth and dangerous secrets, can Rachelle discover the truth and stop the fall of endless night?
©2015 Rosamund Hodge (P)2015 HarperCollins Publishers
"Better than a LRRH Retelling"
I hesitated to read this because I really loved CRUEL BEAUTY and I'm one of those crazy people who always worries that the next one won't be as good. I shouldn't have worried. This book was pretty much flawless. Amazing characters, amazing world building, and such gorgeous prose. I couldn't put it down.
I should mention that calling this a Little Red Riding Hood retelling is a bit of a stretch. But that was totally fine with me because the story she was telling was way better.
"Fantastic lore "
I really enjoyed the lore of this book a lot. It was fantastically original, with a slight tease of the "Little Red Riding Hood" vibe in as well, which was exciting believe it or not (even though it was very small). But the thrill of the lore never died down like some books do. Rosamund Hodge's book are great. I read Cruel Beauty by Hodge and I was highly satisfied. Also, I'm a picky Audible listener. I decide based on the narrator reading the novel whether or not I'm going to Listen or just read the book instead. But Elizabeth Knowelden was surperb and more than enough for this one. Perfect actually. Overall, I think both the author and the narrator did a wonderful job at creating and maintaining a truly unique and grim tale for book lovers.
"Repetitive, yet still engaging"
Rosamund Hodge is a pretty good story teller, her worlds are interesting, dark, and stimulating, but her characters all seem a bit too similar, whether in thought, deed, or dialogue. The worst part of her stories is the constant reminders she gives her readers of what is at stake, what the heroine is fighting for, what she must do, why she must do it and how. Several times during the story I felt like shouting, "Alright, yes, we get it! You've already made it abundantly clear she hates herself and feels guilty and that she must find a way to kill the devourer, you can give us something else now."
Aside from the annoying repetition, her stories ARE gripping and you really do want to see how it all turns out. I would read/listen to another of Rosamund Hodges stories in a heartbeat, but I do hope that in the next one she can find a way to clue the reader in without smacking them in the face with it every few paragraphs.
"Great retelling of a Classic"
I loved the broken and imperfect heroes. A story that hints at something familiar, but is also totally new. I think it's a really incentive story with great characters, pacing, and development. I enjoyed it all the way through. Couldn't stop listening!
"A well written fantasy and fairy tale for adults"
Wow, the story had many layers, a story within a story. Inspired by Little Red Riding Hood, it had a dark element to it but also written with wit and humor. I love the dialogues between Rachelle/ Erec and Rachelle/ Armand. .The story and characters really pulled me in. Worth using my 1 credit.
Elizabeth did a superb job narrating the book, she is now one of my favorite narrators. I love her english accent.The tone and accent she gave to each character was perfect. She really brought the book to life.
Yes, I could listen to this book in one sitting. It was non stop action and intrigue. The writing was beautiful and original.
This is a book that older teen and adult will enjoy. It had all the elements in a book I like in fantasy book: well written, good storyline and plot, strong heroine (Rachelle is deadly with a sword), memorable characters and a little romance. This is definitely one of the best written YA fantasy books I've read/listened to so far. Rachelle reminds me of Katsa in Graceling.
If you just need a dull voice with a slow moving story arch, this is perfect.
Red Riding Hood is of German origin, not French; so, that was an artistic twist that almost overshadowed the characters. Had I read the book instead of listening to the audiobook, I would have believed the tone and language to be from the author's own mind and imagination - sadly, the narrator makes it perfectly clear how French this German tale is.
There's a great build up about the Destroyer which is over within a chapter. If you don't mind a lack of character development, dull foreshadowing, and slow tone, then this book is great.
"Hard to follow"
I enjoyed this book but had to go back a bit. Hard to follow sometimes.
Read or listen to this book when you have no or very limited distractions.
Good story though. Gloomy and creepy but in a good way.
"Not that good"
the story was lacking the emotions that I felt should have been there. was disappointed
I love books, they save you, get you in trouble, and fill a piece of your heart that is always going missing. They are simply enchanting.
"Blood Bound and Blah"
I love the sound of the narration, I just wish it had been a different narrator than the first book.
Its a unique take on Little Red Riding Hood, in that towards the beginning you can see the parallels to the story but by the end you just wind up confused. I loved Rosamund Hodge's first book and couldn't wait to listen to this one, its a good story but far to similar to her first book. The fact that she used the same narrator and its read the exact same way doesn't help. There were several times I found myself having to rewind to listen to what happened. Its dull in too many places.
I did love the parts where she describes the story of the two swords and original siblings. I wouldn't mind if that became its own book, it was a much more compelling story.
The forest is everywhere...
This is a wonderful story, but give it more than a few months between her first novel and this one if you want to truly enjoy it. Rosamund Hodge gives old stories a delightful new twist, I do want to see what she does next.
"Way better than Little Red Riding Hood"
Don't let the simplistic Little Red Riding Hood rebelling fool you. This story expands more on that concept than I could have possibly imagined and it was certainly not what I was expecting. The story is riveting from the beginning to end. The romance of the novel does not completely overtake the plot (something that is seriously beginning to bother me in YA novels), but is a great sub plot. The narrator is absolutely wonderful and very engaging. I enjoyed this audiobook immensely.

Every situation or disease has its unique challenges, including Alzheimer's disease. While there's no "right" answer to the question of, "What are those challenges for Alzheimer's?", here's an attempt to identify a few of the most pressing ones after more than 20 years of knowing and loving many people with dementia.

One more thing before I begin. Identifying these issues and challenges is a way to acknowledge and share some of the challenges you may be facing. It's not meant to minimize the feelings of privilege and honor I know many of us have about being able to care for a loved one who is living with dementia.

With that said, here are my top six:

1) The person might not look any different, yet she is different.

Unlike other conditions where it's clear to the casual observer that the person is battling a cancer or is physically ill, Alzheimer's disease and other kinds of dementia are quite invisible upon first glance. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it does mean that you may need to provide an explanation at times to those around her if she's having a hard day.

2) The loss of shared memories and the presence of confusion may cause grief for both the person with the disease and his family.

Alzheimer's disease can be difficult, both to experience and to watch. It's that feeling of sand slipping through your fingers at the beach, except there's no refilling your hands with another scoop of warm sand.

3) Sometimes, the core personality of the person changes with the disease.

This is often more difficult to cope with than the memory loss. Some days, it can be very difficult to find your loved one as the disease hides her. Other days, she's right there.

4) Behaviors and emotions in Alzheimer's disease can be difficult.

Although you know it's due to the disease and not the person, the behavioral and psychological symptoms in dementia (BPSD) can be difficult to not take personally. Responding in a way that's helpful and not patronizing can also be a challenge at times.

5) Alzheimer's care can be expensive.

Because Alzheimer's requires increased supervision at minimum and direct care as the disease progresses, the costs of Alzheimer's can add up quickly.

6) For some, acknowledging that you or a loved one has Alzheimer's carries a stigma.

Many are unsure of how to react to the news that someone has Alzheimer's disease. They may make assumptions about the person and not visit her anymore, thinking that she's "gone crazy" or "wouldn't remember me anyway."

Additionally, there continues to be a lack of knowledge in the general public about Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. While much has been done to combat this and increase public awareness, much remains to be done.

Movie Info
Critic Reviews for Bab el hadid (Cairo Station) (The Iron Gate)
All Critics (11) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (11) | Rotten (0)
The Egyptian director Youssef Chahine stars in his teeming, sharp-eyed populist drama, from 1958, which blends a sympathetic view of a wide array of characters, warmhearted glimpses of their private dramas, and audacious social criticism.
It's a strikingly controlled, confident, bitingly effective display, which leaves you wondering where this film has been all our lives.
The adroit interweaving of various miniplots around the station is matched by a heady mix of moods and genres: at various junctures this movie becomes a musical, a slasher film, a neorealist drama, a comedy, and a horror film.
With its tense score, contrasting performances of Chahine (twitchy and tightly coiled) and Rostom (sexy but cruel) and audacious moments of formal brilliance Cairo Station is a cinematic triumph.
This was Chahine's break-through film, one that was popular in Egypt and also put him on the international map for directors.
It's a microcosmic melodrama that uses a bustling symbol of progress to analyse a state divided not just by social injustice, but also by cultural and religious chasms that are widened by external forces.
Audience Reviews for Bab el hadid (Cairo Station) (The Iron Gate)
Cairo Station: an exploration of the internalized misogyny of the real world in the reel word In the early outbreak of Arabic Film production in Egypt, producers and actors paid more attention to selling tickets rather than delivering content. Romantic films used to dominate the field and were always adored by the audience that was comfortable with the content provided. However, when the psycho-thriller Cairo Station (or Bab Al-Hadid, The Iron Gate) came out in 1958, viewers were caught off-guard and were shocked by the content of the film. In addition to the new genre, the audience was shocked by the "real" when they asked for "reel". Youssef Chahine's film portrayed the gutters of Egypt as they were exactly, and offered an exaggerated idea of how far things can progress under the "right" conditions. The constant mistreatment, rejection and alienation, repression, and unreasonable expectations of masculinity, contributed to the birth of a mentally unstable character. The film highlighted the troublesome areas, such as dominance of males over females and the societal views on sex, in the constitution of society and reflected them for the viewers to critique. Chahine's Cairo Station follows a day in a train station in Cairo, the more civilized part of Egypt at the time, and shows the numerous different people you find there on a daily basis. The centeral character, Qinawi, is a poor crippled newspaperman who is pitied by the society for his ill fortune. Qinawi is constantly compared to Abu Siri', a perfect representation of a manly man, who is adored by everyone, especially Hanuma, Qinawi's love interest. Throughout the film, Qinawi's sexual frustration is highly emphasized as he gets rejected by the women in the movie. Qinawi is never thought of as a sane person for his limp and his eerie intrinsic nature, as evident by Hanuma's declining of his marriage proposal. Hanuma's vulgar nature added to the atrocity of the situation and was the straw that broke the camel's back to Qinawi, which led to the development of a darker side of himself as he sets off to kill her. The film shows two opposites in the film: The manly ideal man, Abu Siri', and the weak unmanly man, Qinawi. This opposition represents society's view on the superiority of masculinity as compared to non-masculinity, which is often equated to femininity, the inferior state, based on society's limited view on gender as a static unchangeable binary. This binary, according to Socrates, imposes a hierarchy on the two opposites, which is socially determined (Plato). This is evident in the film when the possibility of Qinawi's marriage is disregarded for his inferiority to his masculine opposite (9:30), implying that marriage is a quality for a "man" and not anyone less. The film's use of binary opposites reflects societal views on the criteria that should be present in a male for him to be labeled a man, such as having a respectable job, intellect, and a certain body image that is accompanied by a form of prestige. The binary opposition in the movie is also greatly illustrated by the misogynistic treatment of female characters, regardless of their assertive nature. Women are portrayed as objects throughout the film as close up shots of their legs and breasts are constantly highlighted, which presents them as objects of sexual pleasure rather than absolute effective entities in the community. The objectification of women is further portrayed by the possessive nature of Abu Siri' towards Hanouma as he gets outraged when he finds out that Hanouma was dancing in the train. He then proceeds to bash her publically for her actions, insinuating that she is his only and is not for anyone else's sights (38:02). Additionally, after being rejected by Hanouma, Qinawi decides to murder her for agreeing to marry another man, suggesting that if she cannot be his she will not be anyone else's (1:10:13). This reinforces the idea that women are objects whose sole purpose is to please men be it sexually, emotionally, or socially. In addition to misogyny, Chahine proposes that the societal view on sex produces an innate desire to sexualize ordinary situations. Chahine illustrates this point by using cinematic metaphors to show how everyday objects can be used as references to sexual behaviors. After having a fight about Hanouma's dance in the train, Abu Siri' and Hanouma engage in sexual intercourse, that is implied by several cinematic metaphors witnessed by Qinawi. Directly after showing a shot of Abu Siri' standing over Hanouma that is lying down (Figure 1), a shot of Qinawi zooms in on the cola bottle he is holding (Figure 2). The camera then lingers over the shot of the railroad under a train moving up and down rapidly, mirroring heavy breathes of Abu Siri' and Hanouma as they have sex (41:14). These metaphors are used to show the viewers that they can understand the meaning of these metaphors because of the repression of sexual thoughts inflicted by society's high regard for prudence and purity. Chahine's point is supported by Freud's view on the unconscious, which suggests that repression of certain ideas leads to the transformation of unconscious thoughts into conscious actions (Freud). The repression of sexual ideas can sometimes lead to conscious actions such as rape and sexual assault, or even the simplest of them all, cat-calling. The film also reflects that by accentuating the degree of this repression as it presents various scenes that show men verbally assaulting women. Cairo Station is one of the first Arab films to display a real image of society in theaters, which led to its banning from movie theaters for years, due to its "inappropriate" contents. The film handles ideas of sexual frustration due to the repression of sexual thoughts in society, unrealistic standards of masculinity, and the projection of misogyny as a reflection of the reality of conservative communities, like those of the Arab region. The film acts as a reflection of life to provide the viewers an opportunity to witness the absurdity of the situation from afar, and critique the consequence of their deeds.
It's a strikingly controlled, confident, bitingly effective display, which leaves you wondering where this film has been all our lives.
At a train station in Cairo, Madbouli runs a newspaper stand where he takes pity on Qinawi(Youssef Chahine, who also directs), who is handicapped, and gives him a job. On a personal level, he is shocked to discover that Qinawi may have a subscription to Playboy before anybody else on the block. In truth, Qinawi only has eyes for Hanouma(Hind Rostom), a flirtatious seller of illegal drinks, who in return leaves her evidence with Qinawi when she is being chased by the authorities. In truth, she is getting married to Abu Serih, a porter, who is also tryng to unionize the station. "Cairo Station" successfully uses a bustling train station as a model for the rest of Egypt which at this point in history is rapidly going through changes with many innovations being introduced like roll and roll and even feminism in the person of Women against Marriage. Working in contradictions is Abu Serih who treats Hanouma roughly but cares for the welfare of his fellow man. The only one without any ideas of his own is Qinawi and this is his tragedy. So, it is a shame that this briskly paced movie eventually turns into just another garden variety psychothriller.

The Hague, the international capital of Peace & Justice, also aims to become the European capital of Security. Rob de Wijk, director of The Hague Security Delta, talks about the initiatives and progress in the Den Haag Centraal newspaper. Read the original article (in Dutch) by clicking 'Downlaod news PDF' on the right side of this page or see below for a short transcript in English:
In The Hague Security Delta, governments, knowledge institutes and companies actively work together to innovate and develop new products and knowledge. One example is the European Network for Cyber Security (ENCS), a joint venture between KPN, KEMA, Alliander together with TNO and the city of The Hague, aiming to ensure the security of energy, water and telecom lines in the digital environment against cyber criminality. Rob de Wijk: "It is really happening. The Hague is in the spotlight. The whole world is watching us".
The Beatrixkwartier is becoming the permanent catalyst for the security sector of the Netherlands. This year, at a large office facility situated at Beatrixlaan 800, a so called Security Innovation Centre will be launched. This new centre will be home to laboratories to innovate and develop the newest solutions and tools for cyber security, disaster relief, crisis management and the security of locations. De Wijk: "ENCS has actually just moved their offices to Beatrixlaan 800". Another project in the pipeline is the establishment of the Cyber Security Academy. This will be the top-level education for students from all around the world to get educated on digital security issues. The Academy is scheduled to be launched this autumn.
Rob de Wijk is the founder and non-executive director of HCSS. He studied Contemporary History and International Relations in Groningen, and wrote his PhD dissertation on NATO's 'Flexibility in Response' strategy at the Political Science Department of Leiden University.View profile

Cyssaria's Eir Skills: PvP Evaluation
Cyssaria was my first character, I had no idea what I was doing so while my original intention was to create a support character that could deal moderate damage, I ended up having a generally messed up build. Still, with a myriad of skills at my disposal, I could experiment and find out what worked best. This led me to create a new Eir built for the sole purpose of PvP. Here are the conclusions I've come to thus far on skills.
Primary Skills
Moonlight Piece
Pros: A great skill overall. Landing a direct hit from a moderate distance ensures maximum damage. Because this skill pushes back and does not launch, it is potentially one of the strongest standalone skills available to any class. The homing abilities of this skill allow you to use it to put your opponent in a disadvantageous position. Fast Cooldown.
Cons: As it does not launch your opponent, this skill will never kill an opponent outright. In battles with more skilled players, chances of landing a direct hit with Moonlight Piece is practically none (except in one instance, described later). I've once had a battle against a Sieg where I was able to predict where he would be, aimed pieces in that direction, and watched as he weaved THROUGH the Pieces unscathed.
Recommendation: 6-10 points
Full Moon Bullet
Pros: Relatively fast cast, far range, semi-homing capabilities and knockdown. Also deals a fair amount of damage on a solid hit if leveled up.
Cons: Damage potential is generally low since a majority of the time, a good opponent that is hit by Bullet will only be hit once. Bullet is also rather unpredictable, sometimes it'll go straight while your opponent is just off to the side while other times, it'll go completely sideways while your opponent is dashing just straight ahead. Slightly long cooldown.
Recommendation: 2 points
Moon Barrier
Pros: Creates a new target for homing spells to chase after. Also serves as an impassable barrier for opponents. You can use it on opponents who stay down if you manage to knock one into a corner to trap them there. Almost guarantees a kill. Probably wouldn't work more than 1 time on the same opponent. Great overall against Dainn's Ice Arrows, Fire Orb, and Fire Dragon's Heart and Eir's Moonlight Piece.
Cons: Mostly useless on Siegs. While it does attract Whirlwave, Siegs who use it will use it in such a way that you cannot prepare for it. The cast delay is such that it's difficult to have it cast in time safely by the time your opponent's attacks approach. This means it usually has to be cast in advance.
Recommendation: 3 points (max)
Moonlight Chain
Pros: Direct hits deal fair damage if you land all 8 shots. Can be cancelled using low mp skills (like Holy Shout). Good to use when you have an opponent trapped in a corner.
Cons: It's a channeling spell, you're standing still for the 3 seconds or so it takes to get off all 8 hits. Fairly hefty MP cost for a skill that's generally unreliable. Low range.
Recommendation: 0 points
Moon Bind
Pros: Fast cast, great damage at close range. By itself, it's a fairly useful skill if used properly. Best against Eirs, since they have practically no defense against it. Can also be used on Siegs or Dainns that have Play Dead or Bitter Cold Breath on cooldown. Team matches, Moon Bind can mean an instant KO if your team takes advantage of it.
Cons: Missing Moon Bind can be potentially devastating to you. Against Dainns and Siegs with BCB/Play Dead ready, Moon Bind might not work so well. Also, Moon Bind is mostly useless unless maxed. Long cooldown.
Recommendation: 4 points (max)
Moon Fog
Pros: Great damage, slow effect. Also cancellable into other skills, so it can be used as a bait spell to create a false opening to draw your opponents to you. You can then cancel it into something deadly, like Moonlight Piece. Usable after Moon Bind for added devastation.
Cons: Hefty MP cost, low additional damage with added points and a long cooldown.
Recommendation: 1 point
Judgment of God
-Reserved space for when I get it.
Holy Shout
Pros: Fast cast, easily dash cancellable, long range knockback. It's like dash AS without needing to put yourself in harms way. Low mp cost, and fairly low cooldown. Also allows for odd maneuvers that are normally not possible from wake up attacks.
Cons: Not a real damage dealing spell. No real weaknesses other than that.
Recommendation: 1, or max if you can afford it
Pros: Great offensive and defensive spell, decent damage. At higher levels, it can be used to start combos in addition to ending them. Using it on wake up will usually put you in a safe position. Hanging around a Dodge against melee happy opponents will dissuade them from comboing you.
Cons: Always on cooldown because you'll be using it so often.
Recommendation: 6-9 points (max)
Light of Purification
Pros: Gets rid of that pesky slow from Wizard spells and Knights' Provoke.
Cons: No real use other than the above
Recommendation: 1 point
Price of Sacrifice
Pros: Gets you some MP at the cost of HP. High level PvP battles as Eir are usually mana intensive and can be decided on mana alone, as your opponents will have so much hp that it'll be difficult to wear them down with your spells. Price may help turn the tide if your spells are done cooling down and you're confident you can land additional attacks.
Cons: Makes you lose HP. Very long cast time that is non-cancellable. Be wary of when you use it, otherwise you'll lose far more hp if your opponent catches you during the delay time.
Recommendation: 3 to 4 points
Tears of Goddess
Pros: Fast cast, great damage if most hits land. Usually a safe spell to use as it is dash cancellable. Works great in conjunction with Holy Shout or dash AS. Dash AS followed by Tears is almost impossible to evade. Can also be used to tack on extra damage at the end of a well placed Holy Spirit. Also used to punish early runners. Cast it where your opponent lands and if they plan on dashing away instantly, most of the hits will land.
Cons: 25 seconds is a long time in PvP. This spell seems to always be on cooldown when a perfect opportunity to use it presents itself. Takes practice to judge distance and angle to use it properly. Hefty mana cost.
Recommendation: As many points as you can spare
Holy Spirit
Pros: Possibly the best spell Eir has in PvP. As you'll be spending a lot of time in close quarters with your opponent, this spell will do a moderate amount of damage in addition to sending him into a wall, or at least across the screen. The cast time is extremely fast, so it can be mixed into standard melee attacks for a guaranteed direct hit. Also only 10 seconds for cooldown, which means this spell will be used constantly. Opponents should fear this spell, or at least be mildly irritated at how awesome it is. It's also skill cancellable, so should you miss, you can put yourself in a better position by cancelling the delay.
Cons: Relatively slow spell, so effective distance is close to medium range. Not exactly the most comfortable distance for Eir.
Recommendation: 8 points (max)
Sacred Wave
Pros: Fast cast, great damage. Can be used after SSA to quickly finish off an opponent low on health. Also, proper usage will guarantee your safety after casting. Sacred Wave has too many good uses to list, but you can use it on wake up to disrupt an opponent's next move, to cancel long delay attacks, or to stop an opponent's offense in team matches just long enough for a team mate to land a combo.
Cons: Other than a high MP cost and a long delay, this skill has no downsides if used properly. If used improperly, the after cast delay could get you killed.
Recommendation: 1 point (it deserves more, but it should be low on your priority list)
Other Skills
Pros: Fast Cast, guarantees a direct, point blank hit from Moon Bind if used properly. Best used in conjunction with Moon Bind, otherwise the effects might not be as great. Can be used after standard melee hits without interruption. Invaluable in 1v1 situations.
Cons: Although the cast time is fast, the non-cancellable after cast delay is long. This means that the net sleep time where you can take action is very low. You cannot afford to make a mistake after casting sleep otherwise the spell is wasted. Also has little use in Team PvP unless you have incredible teamwork since team mates tend to unwarily knock your opponents out of sleep with weak attacks. Also has a very heavy MP cost as well as a long reuse timer. Don't expect to be able to cast it more than once per life.
Other Bless Skills
0 to everything else, they simply do not have enough utility to warrant points as you should be clawing for every point available as it is. The only one worth mentioning here is Light Shield, which deserves 1 point. It's basically our version of BCB or Play Dead.
Healing Skills
Of all the healing spells, the most obvious choice would be Light of Healing, due to the amount of HP you can potentially heal. In reality, against difficult opponents, the best healing spell to use would be Sunlight Heal. Difficult opponents will often force you to cancel Light of Healing after 1 heal. If you're lucky, you can get off a 2nd heal. Taking this into consideration and assuming you can only get off 1 heal, Sunlight is better for the MP cost. It is also better for Team PvP since Light's range is so small that you'll often be caught in attacks intended for the person you're trying to heal. Sunlight is not dash cancellable, however, and must be skill cancelled. Beads may be useful in team matches, but will unfortunately make you vulnerable to attacks as it has an uncancellable after cast delay. Emergency Heal deserves a point, as its purpose is the same as in stages.
Note: While I'm a firm believer that all Eir skills, including Bless and Healing skills are fair game in PvP, not all people will agree. Check first with your opponent if he has any issues with you using Healing skills. If he does, either refrain from using them or find a different opponent to fight.
Passive Abilities
Health Increase
Pros: More HP. Having HP means you can survive longer.
Cons: No real cons, other than costing skill points.
Recommendation: Max
Mana Increase
Pros: More MP. Having more MP means you can stay in the game longer.
Cons: No real cons, again, other than costing skill points.
Recommendation: As many points as you can afford
Mana Recovery
Pros: Regens mana while you're fighting. For a PvP Eir, this is more important than Mana Increase. If you can afford the points, get both. Otherwise, get this one only.
Cons: No real cons, other than costing skill points.
Recommendation: Max
Pros: Grants a small chance of having a spell cost half the required MP to cast.
Cons: None, really, other than using up skill points. Unfortunately, the utility of the skill isn't high enough to warrant any skill points at all since the chance of Concentration kicking in is so low.
Deadly Magic Blow
Pros: Grants a small chance of having a spell deal critical (1.5x) damage.
Cons: Again, none, other than skill points cost. The chance of effect is very low, however, so it's incredibly unreliable.
Recommendation: 0, 1 point(s).
Nice guide =D. It generally has most if not all of the PvP information I have and basically the same opinions O_o.
It saddens me that there's so little interest in PvP build Eirs. Anyway, I thought I'd mention that some of the other Lunia versions have skills slightly changed and a lot of Eir's skills become more deadly. Full revamp once the details are confirmed.
in klunia, after the first wave of moon bind goes off, its cancellable =D
WOW moon bind cancellable!?!!? thats CRAZY
Here's a few of the changes that I've heard or seen (in PvP vids). This isn't official information, by far, and it would be best to treat it as such. There's definitely a good chance I might be wrong in regards to the following:
Light of Healing - Dash cancellable at any point (currently cancellable only after first pulse).
Tears of Goddess - 5 tears instead of 3, the other two tears drop between you and where the 3 tears normally land.
Dodge - Guaranteed cast, even if you get hit during the .25 second cast time. Possibly even higher bounce.
Moon Bind - Dash cancellable (like Tears. You need to dash backwards).
Imagine the possibilities once these changes are implemented!
Cut and pasted from my post on luniafan with changes
Pieces should be maxed. Between levels 7~10, it adds about 100 damage per skill point assuming it hits 8 times (as it should since you will only cast it in the right situations). No other skill in Lunia give you that kind of return for the skill point investment. It's silly to say mana is an issue since you are not going to spam it whenever it cools down. If you don't land it right, there is no knockback and Eir's wide open to get comboed.
Dodge should be maxed just because of the AA dodge combo starter.
AAS - Knights can play dead before the S
AA HSP - Knights can play dead before they get hit by holy spirit, then dash AS to start a combo
AA DOD - Knights can play dead before dodge, but the dodge bomb will be placed right above the knight's body so they have to wake up to it.
The most damaging PVP juggle combos should start with the most damaging skills first, and starting a juggle with a skill like dodge lets you add your most damaging skills next to maximize damage.
After dodge (lvl6 or above so it floats high), there are 4 skills you can use to maximize your juggle combo.
Full Moon Bullet: I really don't like this option since sometimes it hits 3 times and sometimes it hits 2. After skill change, it does more damage but travels too inconsistently and requires sacred wave follow-up to deal any kind of damage.
Moonlight Chain: Not really tested but seems promising. The min and max damage are bunched closer than before. Might be able to follow up with other skills/attacks
Holy spirit: All-around versatile skill. Overall damage values changed from wiki's values. Shift so your target doesn't end up hitting the wall prematurely before all 7 hits of spirit hit, follow with dash dash tears (only 4 hits reliably)
Blessed Bravery: I'm going to max this with the pvp healer that I am remaking; potentially can deal most damage out of the four even with minimize damage if you can add enough hits with shift/halfdashes even without breaking the 3 loop rule. Ok I am going to admit this option doesn't look good so far. In the globin forest stage the bravery potion gives you a lvl6 bravery equivalent buff and I noticed that my damage ranged from mid 20s to high 60s, which basically raised average damage by 2x points. That is horrible. I need to do more testing but it seems like I can't recommend maxing this instead of chain/spirit.
Tears of goddess doesn't hit all 6 times reliably so I can't recommend putting more than 1 point in it. The potential changes to it in episode 4 might worth maxing it but need to do more research.
Sacred Wave should be left at 1. The difference between leaving it at level 1 and maxing it is 100 dmg for 5 skill points. Thats not efficient.
Of course I am going to assume that any pvp eir will max bind, get lvl2~3 sleep, and max mana recovery, mana increase, and health increase.
EDIT: and of course lvl1+ fog
Ah...my secrets are coming out =/. Now all the battle Eirs will fight like me. Oh noes!
and all seigs and dainn's dont fight like each other? I think its more of a fact that Eir's strategies are very limited.
I thought it was clear I was being sarcastic by the "Oh noes!". The more skilled players there are, the more interesting PvP will be. Bring it on!
maybe this will help pvp eirs..
vid stolen from klunia site
if rofl is here.... see!! no moon barrier!
I personally thhink moon barrier woulda saved her a few times. I'm still wondering why she didn't use the sleep combo. Sheesh, another eir who doesn't heal! I think she woulda won had she healed at all with sunlight. It's almost as stupid as a sieg who doesn't provoke :D.
friends? dont cheat man dont!
even pvp eirs need to stage so why can't they max moon barrier?
you can walk through the barrier while your opponent can't so it might have some interesting applications if you can corner your opponent (most likely with holy spirit).
In pvp, the only safe way to heal I think is to use it after you land spirit. But then you give up all the initiative you have.
As to the vid, I can't say I was impressed. Maybe I fought Zyris too much to realize skill spam isn't a winning strategy. And there were a couple of times where that eir landed her AA that could have turned into huge damage if she did the bind combo.
Nice guide, you might want to change the font color on the skills, to make it a bit easier to see and to seperate them a bit.
and the bind combo is like saying.. "can't win. need to use nado+dfist"(if u were a knight) not saying u suck but the mage in the vid sucked...so bind combo would've owned him
skill spam is just fine as long as u watch mp no way u'll be able to reach mage on their haxing range
be11 never used bind combo and did just fine..
I'm just going to say we agree to disagree on moon barrier at this point.
Hmm, I would like it if you can elaborate on "haxing range" If you mean the attacking range, I have to agree that Dainn's range and speed is way better than Eir's and that's a huge problem for Eir in general pvp.
I am going to elaborate on my point, which is that if you have a chance at landing a combo, you need to do the most damage possible instead of settling into a melee combo that doesn't do much damage. The mage was doing CBD and pillar rain combos which just eviscerated Eir's life bar as it should while the Eir did most of her damage from pieces and tears. Now if you anticipate the other guys movement thats fine, but I thought I saw way too much instances where the Eir just fired off pieces to get the Dainn off her back.
And Eir basically has 2 practical combos, Bind and Dodge variants. Knights have tornado fist, but also kicking fist and whirling sword follow-ups that can deal big damage on their own (also I got hit with FDS then followups?) It's more like saying the Dainn's using his most damaging combos, why isn't the Eir? It makes a difference using verified combos off the AA that can lead to big damage instead of firing off skills that might not connect and leaves you wide open. And since Eir doesn't have many chances to land her AA, she really needs to do the most damage possible then.
If I recall be11 was really pissed on the day Eir's skills changed that made FMB basically useless.
EDIT: Ok I watched the vid again, and have to correct myself that Eir didnt fire off random pieces as I first thought. It seems that the ones she missed, she anticipated the Dainn dashing straight and he didnt. But come on. Bind xx dashback 180turn tears? that seems to do only 600dmg and that is a huge waste of bind's potential especially considering the 60 second cd time of it. She seems to make good use of dodge that comes out faster in klunia.
If be11 was deadly w/o the bind fog combo, wouldn't be11 be even deadlier with the bind fog combo?
Also, I would like to hear what you think the Dainn did wrong.
"If be11 was deadly w/o the bind fog combo, wouldn't be11 be even deadlier with the bind fog combo?"
yes of course... that'd be like zyris using nado+dfist... have u seen zy do that.. scary..
i dunno.. haven't seen enough eir pvps to say anymore.. could be that eir's a noob didnt know how to pull it off correctly
as for the mage.. first 30 seconds is.. meh.. he wasted a dragon. he messed up on tons of combos..
then later.. ran in a circle inside the moonfog.. basically all his dmg came from fury and dragon.. they are most damaging but those are basically the only skills that hit rest of the time he ran around doing aas which was a terrible display of its use
can't really explain it i guess... but in my eyes he sucks..

I think this pool is the one of the best I have seen in a while. Before I brought this I had a look at different ones to make sure I got the best one and the Berchet Aqua Splash pool was up there with the best for me.
The price, the size, the easiness to set it up, everything about this paddling pool looked to me to be the most suitable...and I wasnt wrong. Great decision to get this one.

Currently celebrating its tenth anniversary in Burbank, CenterStaging specializes in prepping bands for performing on awards ceremonies and other television shows in addition to hosting touring pre-production. The facility also has 9,800-square-foot sound stage that is currently being leased by BET.
Depending on client requirements for the day, the 60-channel/24-bus FIVE Monitor console is regularly moved between CenterStaging's rehearsal rooms and has recently been used by Backstreet Boys, Blink 182, Christina Aguilera, Destiny's Child, Macy Gray, Missy Elliot, Moby, Tower of Power and others.
"The FIVE Monitor is easily one of our most requested consoles, particularly when stereo in-ear monitors are utilized," notes Andre Arango, CenterStaging's sound engineering manager. "Even when using the desk for the first time, I found its layout to be very easy to work on and thought it sounded absolutely awesome. In fact, I rarely have to do much EQing on the FIVE Monitor. Both vocals and instruments coming through the board have a pleasing warmth and musicality to their sound that alleviates the need for a lot of tweaking."
The SM20, a 48-channel model, is semi-permanently set up in 'Studio 6', which has been occupied by the band Guns 'n' Roses for the past six months. "Needless to say, the SM20 is also going over quite well here. G 'n' R has been using it for half a year now with absolutely no complaints," adds Arango.
The two desks were purchased as part of a Harman Professional Projects Group package, which included 36 Crown MA-36x12 amplifiers, several BSS FDS-334 Minidrives and 40 low-profile TTM129 monitor wedges custom built by JBL.

From the Waters of Lake Billy Chinook
Lake Billy Chinook, located just 45 minutes North of Bend, Oregon has been described as the Grand Canyon of Oregon. Set in towering canyon walls, formed by lava rock, the scenery is breathtaking and a one of a kind experience. With big open sky, soaring eagles and an abundance of stars at night, you will feel as if you've left your life behind and arrived in a different part of the world.
This year we are pleased to offer houseboats from two different marinas. The Billy Chinook Marina, located on the northwest side of the lake, offers open shoreline and adjoins the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, where you can see amazing rock formations known as "Balancing Rock". Head on over to the Cove Palisades Marina for a completely different view of the lake and lose yourself in the rugged and majestic scenery. Drive your houseboat to the Head of the Metolious and catch a glimpse of wild horses running along the beach and countless eagle nests.
In addition to houseboat rentals, the Cove Palisades marina also rents powerboats, party barges and personal watercrafts.
Hiking, petroglyphs, and amazing sightseeing are just a few things to expect on your houseboat trip. If fishing is your passion, you're definitely in for a treat. You will be excited to know that Billy Chinook boasts record Bull Trout!
Don't miss our awesome Early Booking Specials that we are offering until March 31st.

Elzetta Design has announced an expansion of its line of weapon-grade modular flashlights.
Elzetta's new Alphas are the smallest flashlights the company has ever produced, yet they offer excellent performance. Powered by a single CR123A battery, the Alphas produce 315 lumens with runtime rated at 51 minutes.
Alpha buyers may select standard or crenellated bezel rings, standard or flood lenses, and any of six tailcap options. In total there are 24 Alpha configurations. The Alphas also incorporate Elzetta's patent-pending AVS technology which expands output to 380 lumens when the light is powered by a LiFePO4 RCR123A rechargeable battery, which may be used for non-critical applications.
The company says the Alpha one-cell models and its Bravo and Charlie modular flashlights are "the toughest flashlights on the planet," featuring fully potted electronics and solid acrylic optical lenses (no reflectors).
Elzetta Alpha modular flashlights start at just $130 MSRP and, like all Elzetta products, are Made in the USA and offer a lifetime guarantee.

New Delhi:Under-fire Indian Hockey Fedaration (IHF) chief KPS Gill on Monday brushed aside demands for his resignation in the wake of India's failure to qualify for the Olympics but admitted that it was a setback for the game.
"I will respond to these things at a later stage. We do not have an instant coffee machine that you can get results instantly. It takes time to regain your position. We have put the process in place and the results will take some time", he said in reaction to demands for his stepping down.
Gill said he would wait for the team to return before deciding the future course of action.
The IHF chief said he would have discussions with the chief coach Joaquim Carvalho and the other support staff to find out the exact reasons for the debacle before making any statements.
"It is not proper to respond at this stage. We will wait for the team to return first, then we will have a clear idea what went wrong", he said.
Asked whether the IHF had accepted chief coach Carvalho's resignation, he quipped "I cannot respond to media reports". Indian hockey plunged to a new low after the men's team failed to qualify for the Olympics for the first time ever following the 0-2 defeat against Britain in the final of the qualifying tournament in Santiago, Chile.

An epic story of survival at all odds and one of the most anticipated books of the year. In a ruined and hostile landscape, in a future few have been unlucky enough to survive, a community exists in a giant underground silo. Inside, men and women live an enclosed life full of rules and regulations, of secrets and lies. To live, you must follow the rules. But some don't. These are the dangerous ones; these are the people who dare to hope and dream, and who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple and deadly. They are allowed outside. Jules is one of these people. She may well be the last.
©2013 Hugh Howey (P)2013 Random House AudioGo
"Exhilarating, intense, addictive. A novel you will never forget." (SJ Watson)
"The characters are well-drawn, and even the villains have a sympathetic side. Secrets unfold with just the right pacing, and I had to set the book down several times and say, 'Wow,' when a major twist was revealed ... If you're looking for a good read, you can't do much better than Wool." (Rick Riordan, #1 New York Times best-selling author)
There are no reviews for this title yet.
"Okay,but the narrator was not right for this story"
In essence this is a Hollywood fantasy. The story is fine and action packed if you like sci-fi! I can see this on big cinema screens as an American blockbuster. But that's it really. It is full of tension and suspense and in chapter 68 I found myself holding my breath with Juliet. Susannah Harker has a lovely voice but totally unsuitable for this story. Sorry! John Lee or Mark Meadows would have bought the story more to life I feel. Give it a go though it's just not my thing.
"A silo isn't just for missiles, it's the future."
Intriguing, surprising, inspiring.
I've not come across a book that compares or matches Wool in the way it engages you with its characters and plot. It stands alone.
I've not listened to Susannah's other performances but will definitely look out for them.
I couldn't listen to this in one sitting as it's too long but I did link it to my car so I could listen to it to and from work.
It had me, it is gripping and engaging and engenders empathy for the main characters.
"A satifyingly different post-apocalypse yarn"
At times the characterisation was clumsy in this book, but the book delivers what it promises at the start. An interesting post-apocalyptic scenario, told well enough to be enjoyed to the end.
Captivating story, just a little slow at times. Good narration. I would recommend it to all who are looking for a story in interesting post-apocalyptic settings.
"Page turner (ear turner?!)"
Give it a couple of years absolutely- Susannah's narration really draws to into the story.
Realisation of where the Silo sits in scheme of things...
Draws you in- got me on an emotional level. Even parts of the book that dragged a bit - she kept me hooked
No- broke it up over a few long distance drives
Solid story- great narration- jumped straight into sequel- "Shift".. Enjoying this one better (story that is - narration would have preferred Susannah again!
"Absolutely fantastic story."
I can not rate Wool highly enough, I loved it. It was dramatic, moving, captivating and morish. Download it now!
I enjoyed the surprise twists that occurred along the way.
She read well.
Hell yeah.
"An entertaining read"
This was an attention keeping story. The focus moves between different characters throughout and so kept me interested. The characters were all very different and likeable. The plot did raise a few questions in my mind but these are starting to be answered now i've moved onto 'Shift' the second book of the trilogy. I will definitely be listening to the whole trilogy.
"Ignore the title - listen to the book"
I tried this book as part of Audible's Easter egg promotion without that sample I would never have come across this book. I would definitely recommend it. In fact I could not wait for part 2 Shift and part 3 Dust to complete the trilogy.
Although it might be thought of as science fiction or fantasy I feel it is about community and what that can mean. It has strong characters that move the story along well and the narrator, Susannah Harker, does an excellent job.
"Cant wait to read the next two - Wool Trilogy"
Loved this post apocalyptic tale you instantly get into the story and follow the characters lives' as the story unfolds.
The reluctant sheriff and the head of IT, the mayor and how all the characters fit together into each others lives.
The cleanings and how futile the process is.
How the system wants to think you are alone.
How the people will always eventually rise up.
Its a subject that I would not normally pick as a book choice but I'm hooked. I've since purchased the two remaining books in the trilogy and cant wait to start them now wool is finished
too long to listed too in one sitting but made sure I had some long and uninterrupted drives
Cant wait to listen to books 2 & 3
"Absolutely gripping!"
It was unabridged so I could listen to the book in the car and pick up with the paperback when I got home.
When Jules figures out what's going on in SILO 18 and manages to survive. I thought it was one of the most gripping moments in the story and I held onto the hope that she would come out of it alive.
Fantastic. She read the story, performed, made each character come alive without doing any other voice than her own. I loved every minute of it and immediately came onto Audible to see if she'd read anything else.
It was only a small moment, but when Jules manages to make a phone call (something we take for advantage these days) back to Lukas. Without going into detail, the response from Lukas of quiet acceptance was lovely.
Brilliant book; very well written and very easy to listen to. It made me want to carry on listening, keeping the TV off, putting down the book just to continue listening to a story building before my ears. A definite must for any sci-fi fan out there.

Hey Lilia - fancy popping over to London next weekend?
I just won $550 in my fantasy football league. Probably not gonna be enough to get me there, but crap is this an outstanding lineup. : (
^That is an amazing party. Wish I could teleport back and forth to London.
There are amazing dnb shows weekly out there. I bet you never even make it to them, Chris!! Damn you!!!!
Edit: for some reason I thought they locked down Brixton Academy to throw Hospitality.
Thank you for asking him, frazzles. There is going to be a wide variety of amazing EDM talent at Coachella this year, methinks.
Donaldj, if you suffer an erection lasting for more than four hours, please consult a physician.
Oh shit, he was in Osaka last night (the 7th) wasn't he?
Who the FUCK is gonna be melted face with me and Donald?! Thank you Goldenvoice. Our prayers have been answered. Goddammit Frazzles you've made my day and you better make it to Coachella. How amazing was his set???
Do you think he will be in the Sahara, or headlining the Pure Filth stage? (or BOTH)?
Can't GV just man up and get Sirius/XM to broadcast the Sahara?
In hindsight, I could have asked him what day he was playing. But then again, we're no more than a month away from the lineup drop anyways.
Anyways, the set was mindboggling. In all honesty, I hate the term PLUR and shit, but that was the absolute PLURest fucking crowd I've ever witnessed, let alone was a central part of. Brohugs for days, everyone just GETTING THE FUCK DOWN with whoever without the prospect of banging anyone. Australians, Japanese, and Americans getting along in ways you only see in fairy tales all because of a dude from Wales.
And I think I've also caused my self moderate neck damage.
^yeah, sirius broadcast electric zoo and edc. i think it was on area

Tottenham extend Onomah's contract to 2020
Josh Onomah has been rewarded for his outstanding performances for Tottenham as the North London team with a second contract in seven months.
The 18-year-old signed a new deal only last summer, but to ward off potential suitors Spurs have improved and lengthened it to 2020.
'It's a dream come true really,' Onomah, who has played 13 times this season, told the Spurs website.
'Since I was young, my dream was to play for Tottenham. [This contract] shows that if you work hard, you'll get your rewards.
'I've just got to keep my head down now and carry on working.'
Tottenham who boast of the youngster squad in the premier league are currently placed third on the log after a comprehensive 3-0 away win against Norwich City yesterday.
