Off the Charts
Sea Breeze
There isn't one boring measure on Off the Charts (Sea Breeze SB-2108; 77:06) by the Dimartino/Osland Jazz Orchestra, but I have to admit to skepticism after reading the label's release, which began, "Roaring out of Kentucky like a tempestuous Appalachian storm...." Until I heard the band's debut for Sea Breeze, I thought the only thing that roared out of Kentucky was moonshiners on the lam. It's been a long time since I've heard such excitement and intensity. The whole band deserves all kinds of superlatives, but the focus has to be on the nucleus: trumpeter and flugelhornist Vince DiMartino; Miles Osland, heard on alto and soprano sax, clarinet, various flutes, piccolo; drummer Jason Tiemann, who propels the band in the Bellson/Rich tradition; and pianist Raleigh Dailey, not so much for his playing but for his arranging skills. He makes full use of the palette of doublings by most of the 20 players. Check the haunting intro and clever reharmonizations on "Spring Is Here," and the brash, shuffling makeover of Charles Mingus' line "Pussy Cat Dues." Check out the brilliant trumpet duel between Martino and one of his former students, Rob Parton. Finally, about that sonic exclamation point on "Niece Piece": did Tiemann borrow a kettledrum from the Louisville Orchestra?

This fresh and sophisticated dish would be a delicious vegetarian entrée for two—just add rice. Look for curry paste and coconut milk in the Asian foods section of the supermarket.
Leave a Review
We added a couple serrano peppers for extra zest, 3/4 lb. of roasted pork and doubled the green curry. This one will be good for company.
The first time I made this dish, I was convinced I did something wrong because the curry ended up being very thin and watery without much flavor.The scone time around I took the advice of the previous cook and peeled and diced the eggplant. I also replaced the green beans with green and red peppers. I also tripled the curry paste, added lime zest, thai basil extra scallions and mint. By doubling the flavors this turns out pretty good.
I read all the comments and followed the first one but still this was pretty bland.
With a lot of amending, this turned out great. I added extra curry paste, the whole can of coconut milk, fish sauce, sweet Asian chile sauce and the juice from the lime. I used fresh green beans, cilantro and mint, per the recipe. This is a quick and easy recipe with a mice, fresh taste.
Ok-Here are some tips - I peeled diced and salted the eggplant and let it drain in a colander for a couple hours - This step eliminates bitterness and I've found my mouth doesn't itch if I do this in advance. Before using rinsed well with cold water and squeezed out excess liquid pressing the eggplant in the colander. Took a hint from some of the others here- I tripled the curry paste (11/2 T) - and finely grated the lime peel from one lime - added both with the eggplant and beans - along with 1/2 a chicken breast sliced in roughly the same dimensions as the eggplant. This means you never move anything out of the wok - add the coconut milk at the end bring to simmer for a few minutes - then tossed in the scallions cilantro and mint - splash of fish sauce - teaspoon or so of sugar and the lime juice from the lime-served over basmati rice --yum!
I've made this twice now, once with frozen green beans and once with fresh, and we thought it was "authentic" tasting & delicious both times. I used Asian eggplant and mint from my garden.
Where did anyone get the idea that coconut milk is bad for you? (Recent serious medical studies have shown that it is filled with health benefits and may help prevent heart disease, thanks to its lauric acid, a component also found in human breast milk.) Anyway, thanks to the cook in Baltimore for the suggestions on curry paste. I agree with the Kansas City cook, that fish sauce and lime juice help. It's a great, simple, delicious recipe.
It was not nearly as spicy or Thai as I thought it should be, but after adding fish sauce and lime juice it tasted great.
I don't understand either what the uproar about this recipe is. It's simple, and if you have even BASICS that anyone who likes cooking should have in their kitchen, it is a whizz to whip up. Any good flavoured recipe deserves a bit of time and attention anyway! And as for nutritional value: people need to be wise enough to know these things themselves. It's 2007, yes, but everything can't be done for you! Anyone can know that coconut milk is far from the healthiest things a person can consume: even the lowfat versions are bad for you!! In the end, you can only get out of something what you're willing to put in.
I have just brought my husband home from the hospital with two new stents and the chance to live another 20 years -- provided he EATS RIGHT. This curry looks interesting; now, I need to look up each ingredient and check on fats and carbs. WOULDN'T IT BE WONDERFUL IF THESE RECIPES INCLUDED THEIR NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION!!!!!

Customer satisfaction with retailers is at an all-time high. However, while the industry improved overall, according to the American Consumer Satisfaction Index (ACSI), not all retailers received high marks. At the positive end of the spectrum, while traditional brick-and-mortar retailers set a record, e-commerce scored better still. At the negative end, traditional retailers received the most negative assessments.
Despite a positive multiyear trend, many traditional retailers' scores remain average at best — especially those that are struggling to keep up with growing online rivals. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the ACSI data to find the companies with the worst satisfaction scores in retail.
[More from 24/7 Wall St.: Ten Companies Profiting Most from War]
In the most recent ACSI study, the averages for all retail companies peaked at 76.6 on a 100-point scale in 2012. The exception was Internet retail, which the ACSI groups with e-commerce. This part of the industry had an average score of 82 last year. Of the nine retail companies with the worst ACSI scores, just one was an online retailer.
But even average ACSI scores actually weigh negatively on retailers. Larry Freed, CEO of consumer analytics firm ForeSee, which works with ACSI on Internet retailer rankings, told 24/7 Wall St. that consumer expectations are an important part of a company's or an industry's score. According to Freed, consumers are not expecting a better experience stores. "The bar's not getting any higher; it's getting lower, if anything." Meanwhile, "In the online world, it's getting higher every day," Freed said.
Some of the companies that failed to impress consumers in 2012 have struggled to satisfy customers for years. Safeway, which had among the lowest scores among all retailers, has underperformed in customer satisfaction every year for the past 10 years.
For one company, underperforming its industry benchmark is a relatively new development. Netflix outperformed the average Internet retailer in customer satisfaction for four years, and in 2009 it was the top retailer. But in 2011 and 2012, the video streaming company has been the lowest rated internet retailer.
Although brick-and-mortar retailers have struggled to keep customers happy, they still account for the majority of sales. However, if online retailers continue to outperform traditional retailers in satisfying consumers, they are likely to continue to erode brick-and-mortar market share. A February U.S. Census Bureau release noted that, while only 5.4% of retail sales came from e-commerce, this is up from 4.8% the year before.
[More from 24/7 Wall St.: The States with the Strongest and Weakest Unions]
To identify the nine retailers with the worst customer satisfaction, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the customer satisfaction scores published by the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ASCI) for e-commerce and retail trade companies. Additional information on corporate performance came the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and from corporate websites. More information on customer service ratings came from the MSN Money/JZ analytics 2012 Customer Service Survey.
These are the nine retailers with the worst customer service.
9. Walgreens
> Customer satisfaction score: 76
> 12-month revenue: $70.79 billion
> One-yr. share price change: 22.42%
> Industry: Health and personal care stores
Walgreen Co. (NYSE: WAG) is the operator of drugstore Walgreens and one of the nation's largest companies. As of December 2012, the company had more than 8,500 locations. But its wide reach has not helped the company appeal to consumers. In 2012 Walgreen received an ACSI score of just 76. However, not all measures of customer satisfaction were as negative for the company. A 2012 poll from MSN Money and JZ Analytics showed that more than 30% of customers thought the company's service was "excellent," while another 49.4% described service there as "good." Whether customer service was actually any good, the company was struggling to attract consumers. Sales at stores open at least a year declined 2% in the most recent quarter, while revenue for the company declined 4.6% and earnings declined 25.5%.
8. TJX Companies
> Customer satisfaction score: 76
> 12-month revenue: $25.88 billion
> One-yr. share price change: 20.18%
> Industry: Specialty retail stores
The TJX Companies Inc. (NYSE: TJX), which owns discount retail stores T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods, has underperformed the specialty retail store sector's ACSI score in five of the past six years. According to the MSN Money/JZ Analytics 2012 Customer Service Survey, less than 18% of consumers described service at the company's T.J. Maxx chain as "excellent" — among the lowest of all businesses surveyed. But mediocre reviews did not hurt the company's bottom line. Sales at The TJX Companies were up 12% in the most recent year from the year before, while net income for the retailer rose from $1.5 billion in the previous year to $1.9 billion in 2012.
7. The Gap
> Customer satisfaction score: 76
> 12-month revenue: $15.65 billion
> One-yr. share price change: 45.84%
> Industry: Specialty retail stores
Gap Inc. (NYSE: GPS) owns a number of well-known retail chains, including the Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy. In the most recently available 12 months, the company was extremely successful. Gap reported a net income of $1.1 billion, up from $833 million the year before. But consumers were likely less satisfied with Gap than investors. Of the 10 distinct specialty retailers rated by the ACSI, Gap rated as the worst for customer satisfaction — tied with TJX. Additionally, 2012 marked the fifth consecutive year in which Gap has underperformed the average specialty retail store in terms of customer satisfaction.

Delhi gang rape case: War of words break out between Sheila Dikshit and Delhi Police
As Dikshit shot off a letter to home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde over "interference", Delhi Police on Tuesday demanded a high-level probe into the "leak" of the correspondence between the two leaders.
The war of words played out in the open after a complaint by sub-divisional magistrate Usha Chaturvedi that three senior police officers had prevented the video-recording of the victim's statement.
It was also alleged that the police officers wanted SDM to use a questionnaire they prepared. When she refused to do so, sources said, police officials misbehaved with SDM.
"It was the police which had insisted that the statement of the girl be recorded as her condition was getting worse with every passing day...Chaturvedi was assigned the job by the divisional commissioner," he said.
SDM could have refused to record the statement if at any point she had felt pressure from the police, he said. As soon as Dikshit complained to Shinde on Monday, police immediately sought recording of victim's statement before a metropolitan magistrate, which has more legal value.
"The victim recorded the statement before a judicial magistrate today. This has more evidentiary value," he said. Dikshit, who has been trying to insulate her government from the responsibility of the horrific incident by saying that Delhi Police is not under her control, shot off a letter to Shinde seeking a high-level inquiry into this complaint.
Delhi Police on Tuesday came out with a strong denial and also demanded a high-level probe into the "leakage" of Dikshit's letter to home minister.
"We deny the allegations levelled by SDM Usha Chaturvedi. Delhi Police demands a high-level inquiry into the leakage of a top-secret letter written by the chief minister to media," Delhi Police spokesperson Rajan Bhagat said.
Police has made known its unhappiness over Dikshit passing on the buck and raking up a "non-issue" at this juncture by writing to Shinde. In her letter, Dikshit cited a communication to her by deputy commissioner (East) BM Mishra that Chaturvedi had complained about senior police officials' "interference" while she was recording the statement of the victim.
Bhagat said the ACP (Vasant Vihar) had written to divisional commissioner seeking the services of a SDM for recording the statement of the victim and Chaturvedi was assigned the job.
"When SDM arrived there and cameraman was going inside, the victim's family objected to the presence of the videography team thinking that they were from media. They were then told about the procedure but the family then in writing said they would not like videographing the process," Bhagat said.

About the TDs: You will find that only the gummy S-TDs get much turn at all out of the box. The stiff ones will be much straighter on a flat throw. The stiff ones are most easily found in weights between 168-172. And usually the most understable TDs are the C-TDs from the CFR run. Those are easy to tell apart from the production run, production runs have a slanted rim and no patent number.

Shrimp can live in fish bowls and aquariums
with and without an aquarium heater at a temperature
between 65 and 82 degrees F. Every few months
a Ghost Shrimp molts its exoskeleton. When this
happens, it's soft body is exposed, and it's
vulnerable to being eaten. You can protect your
Ghost Shrimp by putting a piece of a broken
flower pot on the bottom of your Ghost Shrimp's
home to form a small hiding place for the Shrimp.
Put the piece of the
broken flower pot with it's inside
facing down on the bottom of your Shrimp's home,
so there is a small cave for your Shrimp to
crawl under. If this cave is not big enough
for the Shrimps, prop the piece of the flower
pot up with a small rock or piece of gravel,
or another piece of the broken flower pot. The
idea is to give the Ghost Shrimp a hiding place
that is too small for the other animals. So
the Shrimp will be safe while it molts.
Of course you
must always be sure that everything, such as
a piece of a broken flower pot, that goes into
your Ghost Shrimp's home, is clean and not contaminated.
here to read more about how to avoid contaminating
your aquarium.
Recommended Diet
Shrimp eat particles of food that they pick
off the bottom and off of plants. They will
also swim upside down and travel just under
the surface of the water to eat food particles
off the surface. Click
here for more about feeding. I also feed
my Ghost Shrimp a few live Black Worms every
other day. Click
here for more about feeding Black Worms.
Shrimp quarrel and spar with each other. It's
fun to have a few, but when there are too many
Ghost Shrimp, the bigger ones will make the
smaller ones miserable. Put 3 or 4 in a large
fish bowl, 6 to 8 in a ten gallon aquarium,
and about one Ghost Shrimp per gallon in larger
Good tank mates
for Ghost Shrimp are the
Small Tetras such as Neon Tetras, Glowlight
Tetras, and Black Phantom Tetras, also Harlequin
African Dwarf Frogs,
White Clouds,
Fancy Guppies,
Corydoras Catfish and other fish that are
too small to eat the Ghost Shrimp.

read about several groups of compatible fish.
Size and Lifespan
Shrimp can live for a year or two. Female Ghost
Shrimp grow to about 1.5", and males grow to
about 1".

Deluxe Dinner Salad for 2
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 0 mins
There's a restaurant in town that serves the best dinner salads! No browned, lifeless iceberg lettuce with one measly, anemic-looking tomato imposter-oh no! This salad is colorful and nutritious. Of course, since this is a dinner salad, you have your choice of salad dressing-mine being in this case the house honey mustard of which Honey Mustard is a very close fascimile. An outright stolen recipe it is-but you already knew that. (If on hand, sometimes I throw in a few sliced black olives.)
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 head romaine lettuce, washed, dried and chopped
- 1⁄2 cup dark red kidney beans
- 1⁄2 cup garbanzo beans
- 1⁄2 cup carrot, cut into small matchsticks
- 1⁄2 cup corn
- 1⁄2 small cucumber, cut into slices
- 4 -6 small cherry tomatoes
- 1⁄4 cup red onion ring
- Arrange the romaine lettuce on two salad plates.
- Divide the remaining ingredients and arrange in small "mounds" on each plate.
- Top with the red onion rings.
- Serve dressing of your choice on the side. See how easy that was?
Most Helpful
Delicious with the dressing mentioned in the introduction: recipe#13228. I omitted the corn because of allergy and the chickpeas because my can opener broke on the kidney bean can! I grated my carrot, used peeled English cucumber (waxed), organic heirloom cherry tomatoes and vindalia onion rather than red.
This is such a great recipe! It comes together very easily and the taste is soooooo good! Loved it! It really keeps you satisified for quite a while thus making the perfect lunch or dinner. YUM!
The beans were a great addition and the corn, too. :)
I used your recipe #180996 for the dressing and it was mmmmm moreish! :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your recipe here with us, CG!
Made and reviewed for your royal highness, the queen of April's Veggie Swap 2011.
I LOVE the addition of beans in a salad. This is similar to a local "Italian" chain's salad but they dont use corn (love that addition tho, especially in summer when the fresh corn is so good) and they add black olives and canned beets (yuck) and do the typical "Italian" dressing. Perfect salad tho, and can take it so many different ways. The corn makes me think tex-mex so a salsa might even be a great dressing alternative too. Great post!

text: Yes Rob, that is exactly the sick thinking that resulted in nothing in Lost coming to a conclusion. Nothing made sense, even for an "in purgatory" ending. Like the atomic bomb going off for instance, that whole plot line just dropped and those 2 old guys protecting the island hundreds of years, but yet Dharma set up there and drilled into it with them doing not a thing. I am glad word of this sick thinking by writers is getting out. I found it amazing when ABC came out with Alice in Wonderland they even said from the writers of Lost in promos!! Made me know it will never make sense or have an ending and guess what? Ratings are low and I think the connection to a badly written Lost helped do it in. After all the similar Wonderland show is doing much better. I hope those Lost writers never work again writing for anyone, that is my wish.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the time-frequency characteristic, using nonlinearly scaled wavelets, of the EMG signal as well as the three-dimensional (3D) knee kinematics of female and male elite soccer players performing an unanticipated cutting maneuver.
Methods: Fifteen female and 15 male elite soccer players performed several cutting maneuvers during which EMG of eight muscles of the leg and 3D kinematics of the knee were recorded. To create an unanticipated condition, the participants executed one of three tasks, which were signaled to them with an illuminated target board.
Results: Male participants generally executed the unanticipated cutting maneuver with a quadriceps activation of higher frequency components. These gender differences were also found at initial ground contact (IC) for the vastii and biceps femoris (BF) muscles. These higher frequencies dominated the signal earlier in time for the BF and later for the tibialis anterior (TA) in women. Furthermore, women performed the cutting task with greater knee abduction than did the men.
Conclusion: Female athletes adopted a different motor unit recruitment strategy that was particularly evident at, and near, IC resulting in lower frequency components in the EMG signal of the lateral hamstring. This strategy may play a role in explaining the gender bias in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury rates. Gender differences in knee kinematics were also observed, exposing the female ACL to higher strain, which may be the result of differences in neuromuscular strategies to stabilize the knee joint.

Running Raw | I Love Woodford Snowshoe Race
Posted By Tim VanOrden On May 10, 2009 @ 8:00 pm In Fitness/Diet,G Living | No Comments
Tim heads out to the Dion Snow Shoe race with a very excited but a little crazy group of runners. This is first race in the 2009 WMAC Dion Snowshoe series. Yes, in the North East they actually like the snow. I know it's a little hard time imagine, sitting here in L.A.
Tim also talks with the owner of the Dion Snow Shoe company about what makes his snow shoes so special.

Although camping may not be on your winter agenda, now's a great time to plan for next year and perhaps use a bit of your holiday cash. The Turbo Tent is a great family product and an outstanding "fantasy camp" for any media room, garage, or backyard adventure. Part of getting family members into camping is the fun of sleeping in the cool tent surroundings, and this one sets up in a minute or less. Once the family has fun inside, the transfer to the outdoors becomes easy. Here are some of the features that make this tent an extremely portable and stable camping staple:
* The Turbo-Tent has a completely waterproof and bug-proof floor that's sealed with heat tape and double stitched.
* Its four-season design will stand up to snow and high winds with tests up to 70 mph.
* Quick set-up and takedown, ideal for a late-night pitch or tear down.
* Lightweight tent poles and frame make for easy transport.
* Superior construction with a world-patented design.

UPDATE: It was emailed to me that this guide was also posted over on the official forums where people are continuing to chat about it. So discuss here and there. Again super thanks to Nagg for this guide!
Relic's Key Dungeon
Guide by Nagg
Both Regular and Legendary are the same basically strategy just scaled for different levels. So learn one, and you learn them all =). In order to do the dungeon you have to talk to the NPC Tharrath to send him walking towards the Evil Altar. Once he is at the alter you talk to him again to start the waves of mobs, and they come fast!
I would definitely recommend as a level 60 to go in and try and solo as much as possible. If you aren't a healer, the first and third bosses can be a bit tricky as the magic damage doesn't scale down like physical damage when you are 30 levels higher than mobs. Meaning it hits a 60 for the same as a level 35 and after taking enough it can still hurt a 60 pretty bad.
- -Before you talk to Tharrath, i would recommend clearing the trash mobs that are camped out around the zone, The groups are east. Use this time to see how good your tank is with threat. It's best to let your tank get a couple attacks in before you go nuts. The Crocodiles stun/silence
- 1st group is 1 Giant Tale Crocodile and 2 Swamp Giant Tortoises
- 2nd group is 2 Giant Tale Crocodile, and 1 Swamp Giant Tortoise
- 3rd group is a patrolling group of 2 Giant Tale Crocodile
- 4th group are 3 Swamp Guardians (smilidons)
Now you should go back and talk to Tharrath to send him walking to the Evil Altar.
1st Waves
- -There are 3 waves before the first boss, Hathraad, comes. 3 types of mobs will come: Son of the Lake, Son of the Earth, and Rotten Son of the Lake. The Sons of the Lake will charge random people, but die pretty easily. The Sons of the Earth will cast a Heal over Time (HOT) on themselves at 30-40% health. Since the waves are somewhat predictible which area they will come from, I would recommend the tanks get aggro and start pulling them across altar to where the next mobs will spawn
- 1st wave comes from the East, 2 mobs, usually one SotL and 1 SotE
- 2nd wave comes from the West, usually 1 of each mob
- 3rd wave comes from the Northwest, usually 2 SotE, and 1 RSotL
BOSS – Hathraad
Hathraad has 3 abilities, and other than being tough on the healer to aoe heal, he is fairly easy. I would recommend standing close enough (10 meters) so the healer can aoe heal all 4 team members.
- 1st ability is just a single target magic ball. It is not interruptable
- 2nd ability is an AOE version of the 1st ability. He cases it about every 10-15s and it will hit everyone. When he casts this he says"Tempest". It is not interruptable
- 3rd ability he uses at about 75%, 50%, and 25%. He says "Divideness" and splits into 3 mobs. There are 2 images of himself that are slightly darker in color and will die pretyt quickly, so dps focus attacks on them when they spawn. Also, when they spawn, all 3 start casting spells so a LOT of damage goes out. I would recommend the tank use Guardian stance and the healer get ready to do Prayer of Faith. Be sure you kill the adds before you send the boss over the next 25%
2nd Waves
- -Again, there are 3 sets of waves, and you have absolutly NO time between killing the boss and the next waves starting to come, so BE READY! The waves are a mix of 4 types of Ghosts, Gladiators, Hunters, Mages, and Priests. Yes, the priests will heal, but not too much. The Hunters also summon ghost wolves that die really fast. I would recommend on the last wave leave 1 mob alive and let the healer rebuff and heal Tharrath back to 100%
- 1st wave generally comes from the West but sometimes East, 3 random ghost mobs
- 2nd wave comes from the opposite side as the 1st wave and is 3 random ghost mobs
- 3rd wave comes from the Northwest, and is 4 random ghost mobs
BOSS – Kermode
Hathraad has 3 abilities and is probably the easiest boss if the tank uses his cooldowns (Alertign shout, Guardian stance, and Counter stance)to help minimize damage while your healer is silenced
- 1st ability is Soul Growl AOE which he seems to use every 15s and silences everyone within 30m radius for 3 seconds and deals moderate damage
- 2nd ability is Deafening Roar which also is uses about every 15s and stuns everyone in a 30m radius for 2 seconds
- 3rd ability, name unknown but let's call it Enrage, activates on the boss at around 20% +/- and Kermode will grow very large and start hitting harder. With tank cooldowns, and good gear, this isn't very difficult. If the tank's HP is low or he isn't fulling specced Guardian, then goodluck
3rd Waves
- -There are 5 waves this time and come fast. Again there is no time between killing a boss and the first wave coming. There are 3 new types of mobs in these waves and random mobs from the first 2 sets of waves. The new mobs are Flame Striker, Rock-Wings Assassin (gargoyle), and Lava-Skin Burner. They will do an ankle slash ability and a stun to make moving around difficult
- 1st wave comes from the Northwest and has 3 random mobs
- 2nd wave comes from the East and has 3 random mobs
- 3rd wave comes from the East and has 3 random mobs (usually a Lava-Skin Burner and Flame Striker in it)
- 4th wave comes from the West and is 4 random mobs (usually 1 Flame Striker in it)
- 5th wave comes from the Northwest and is 4 random mobs (usually 1 Lava-Skin Burning it in)
BOSS – Alr-Rahjil
Alr-Rahjil has 4 abilities and is a pretty difficult boss. A LOT of healing is required, and a LOT of dps. He steals health from random people so a good amount of dps is needed to even kill him. Be ready to do a lot of moving around and ready to release and run back to the instance if you die. Some people like to tank him near the entrance to the zone, but it an cause some people lag because of the water effects. Plus there is less space to move out of the aoe zones
- 1st ability has an unknown name, let's call it Earthquake. He says "Tremble in Terror" when he casts it and it will create a large black circle on the ground that deals significant damage every 2 seconds that you stand in it. It also slows you down, so be on your toes and get out FAST. He casts it every 15s or so. He casts this large (about 10m radius) earthquake under a random player or on Tharrath
- 2nd ability has an unknown name, let's call it Life Steal. It targets a random player and on heroic at least steals about 1500-1600 health. He casts it every 10-15s. It also seems that it heals him for more than the amount stolen, maybe 2x?
- 3rd ability is called Ignite and is cast about every 15s on a random player, maybe on Tharrath too. It deals damage every 3 seconds for 15 seconds. 150 damage per tick on regular and 400 on Legendary. This is nearly 1/2 of your health as a non tank over the full duration. Keep Restore cast on each player to help counter this a bit.
- 4th ability has an unknown name, let's call it NOVA. This is ability is critical. He casts it between 15-20% health. It will kill anyone within 30m radius, so TURN and RUN like hell. A tank with pretty good HP 6000+ can with full HP use Guardian stance and stand and take the damage. NOVA will still deal several thousand to the tank. Alr-Rahjil will say "Out, brief life" when he starts to cast the spell. It takes him about 2-3s to cast the spell
I hope this was helpful. I will get some picture added, as soon as my server comes back up and I can get back in there
To Gameloft – I would like to say THANK YOU! for such a fun and challenging dungeon. I would like to offer up just 2 suggestions.
- Please delay the first wave after each boss for at least 30 seconds so we can rebuff, talk about loot etc.
- Please add a level 60 daily quest to Tharrath that pays out about 5 gold. The new potions are VERY expensive and each death at level 60 is 80s. The trash that drops in Legendary is the same as on regular except maybe magecloth or random uncommon/rare items. So I only get a few copper/silver for selling the trash items
Zone Map – crossed Swords represent where waves spawn from. West, NW, and East are where waves spawn. NE is where all the bosses come from

The countdown to this year's mother's day is excitedly on. Only a couple of days remain ahead of the 10th May holiday to be celebrated in honor of all mothers to express gratitude for the hardships they bear in bringing up children. Mothers Day came into being due to the efforts made by Ms Julia Ward Howe and Ms Anna Jarvis. The Resolution for having a dedicated Mother's Day was signed by US President Woodrow Wilson on May 8, 1914. Since then people across the world have been celebrating Mothers Day with joy, fondness and dedication. This year, the day falls on a Sunday.
At Juhudi, we have lined up a couple of activities for the teenage mothers rescued from early marriages. These include fun games, team building activities, stage shows, poetry, comedy and dance. Later, the teenage mothers are expected to visit the Saiwa National park on the outskirts of Kitale town to enjoy the natural beauty of wildlife. During the visit, they are expected to see a variety of wild animals that they had hitherto only read about.
These activities have been organized in order to appreciate the difficult times these young girls went through as well as erasing the condemnation they had received from the society. They should be able to feel that they are in solidarity with the rest of the mothers in the world, and more so that "They are not lesser mothers!" This is one of the unwinding processes the organization using help in trauma healing, therefore all support is welcome. "I look forward to having fun on mothers' day; I can't wait to recite the poem I have for my mum" said Ebby, a beneficiary.

The Dallas Cowboys need help all over their roster, and the East-West Shrine Game is a great opportunity to uncover some potential mid- and late-round prospects who can give the 'Boys much-needed depth. Over the past two seasons, only 11 total players from the Shrine Game have gotten drafted in the first three rounds.
Still, the contest is an opportunity for scouts and entire organizations to uncover hidden gems who could turn into potential all-stars. The Cowboys have historically been adept at bringing in high-impact undrafted free agents, and many of their undrafted signings in 2014 will presumably be playing in this game.
Combing through Shrine Game practice reports and combining that information with scouting reports, stats and player measurables, here are the five most important players for the Cowboys to watch in the East-West Shrine Game.

Borderlands | Online Quiz
The object of this quiz is to determine whether or not these signs COULD be real. If the states do border and such a sign might be seen, then it's POSSIBLE. If the states do not border and you'd never come across a sign like this, it would be IMPOSSIBLE. It's a tough quiz, but try it without a map. Good luck!

The development of WACCM is motivated by an appreciation of the importance of coupling between atmospheric regions. Vertical propagation of atmospheric waves and the transport of minor species from the troposphere are known to play major roles in the dynamics and chemistry of the middle and upper atmosphere. There is also increasing awareness that changes in the propagation characteristics of planetary waves in the stratosphere (due to natural or anthropogenic factors) may play a role in tropospheric climate variability by influencing such phenomena as the Arctic Oscillation.
Projected applications of the model for scientific studies include the following:

AmyŌĆÖs on Second chef Klarke Dergousoff is seen in the restaurant on Friday before leaving for this weekendŌĆÖs Gold Medal Plates competition in Saskatoon.
A pair of Prince AlbertŌĆÖs top chefs will be in Saskatoon on Saturday, competing among the best of the province in the Gold Medal Plates competition.
Klarke Dergousoff, from AmyŌĆÖs on Second, and Kevin Dahlsjo, from Two by Dahlsjo, will serve 500 patrons at SaskatoonŌĆÖs Prairieland Park alongside eight other chefs from throughout the province.
A panel of six judges with various culinary credentials will judge the 10 chefs.
This will be the first competition for Dergousoff, who has worked as a chef in Prince Albert for more than seven years.
ŌĆ£I found out in February about it, and now tomorrowŌĆÖs the day,ŌĆØ he said, excited to compete among the provinceŌĆÖs best. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm going in just happy that IŌĆÖm there.ŌĆØ
DergousoffŌĆÖs career in food preparation began within days of graduating from Stratford ChefŌĆÖs School in Ontario, when he moved with his wife to Prince Albert and took a job at AmyŌĆÖs on Second.
The restaurant has a casual fine dining theme, which Dergousoff said, is exactly what he trained for. The freedom the restaurant offers him has also allowed Dergousoff plenty of time to hone his skills.
ŌĆ£On any given night, the person at that table might have a dish thatŌĆÖs put together a little different than somebody at this table,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£Same dish, same flavours, but it might be just a little subtle difference.
ŌĆ£After seven and a half years, I feel IŌĆÖve got a good finger on the pulse of what people expect and what they want to eat.ŌĆØ
Although he wonŌĆÖt say what dish heŌĆÖs preparing for the Gold Medal Plates competition until afterwards, he said that itŌĆÖs what he considers his best.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm not a guy that really likes the molecular gastronomy that goes on,ŌĆØ he said, referencing the act of using science to create visually appealing dishes. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs too flashy and I see it as a distraction from your plate.ŌĆØ
Hopefully, the panel of judges find his dish as delicious as Dergousoff anticipates they do, he said.
ŌĆ£All I can tell you is, itŌĆÖs a northern dish. ItŌĆÖs northern, itŌĆÖs Saskatchewan and itŌĆÖs warm.ŌĆØ
For Dahlsjo, this yearŌĆÖs Gold Medal Plates competition is old hat, with this his third year competing in the annual fundraiser.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs an honour to be invited again,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£I like associating with all of the different chefs. A lot of them are good friends of mine.ŌĆØ
His dish will be a very specific one, with very specific and unique ingredients, which is a tip of the hat to the boundary-pushing dishes he serves at Two by Dahlsjo, where he said that he likes to push boundaries.
SaturdayŌĆÖs competition serves as a fundraiser for the Canadian Olympic Foundation.
The Daily Herald will follow up with both local chefs for MondayŌĆÖs print edition, complete with more information about the unique dishes they prepare.

The Australian's recent story on TAFEs to offer postgrad degrees, demonstrates how more education pathways are starting to emerge. Traditionally, TAFE is the go-to place for vocational education and training. But with government restrictions being lifted, TAFEs can now look to deliver postgraduate qualifications for a range of disciplines, including for the accounting profession. Already, plans are underway for some TAFEs in Victoria to develop a masters in professional accounting.
TAFEs are just one of many pathways to emerge in recent years. Today options for becoming an accounting professional can be through a diverse range of vocational education and training providers, private higher education providers, corporate universities, public and private universities and professional bodies. Importantly, these providers are not limited to Australia but also include international organisations. However, now these organisations providing accounting education need to meet all the new legislation requirements set under the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) threshold standards. Some of the standards outlined in the TEQSA legislation include:
1.2 There are robust internal processes for design and approval of the course of study, which take account of external standards and requirements, e.g. published discipline standards, professional accreditation, input from relevant external stakeholders, and comparable standards at other higher education providers (See p.18)
4.2 The higher education provider ensures that staff who teach students in the course of study:
5.5 The academic standards intended to be achieved by students and the standards actually achieved by students in the course of study are benchmarked against similar accredited courses of study offered by other higher education providers. (See p.21)
We support strong government in the regulation of higher education and in particular accounting education. Our focus is on the quality of academics, our own high professional standards and graduate achievements, which are benchmarked to high quality Australia-wide. In the marketplace, there is also strong demand for qualified accountants from professional firms, corporations, not for profits and the government sector. While this is good news for attracting more people to the profession, how do we ensure the quality of teaching and curriculum is maintained now and in the future? How do we ensure accounting education remains relevant and adapts to the changing nature of the profession with globalisation, new technologies, environmental and social impacts?
Whichever pathway people choose to take, it's important the quality of accounting education is upheld so that graduates coming into the profession meet the expectations of employers, our members and society. How do we do this? The answer involves opening dialogue and collaborating with policy makers, academia and the profession. That way, we can work together to build a sustainable long term accounting profession in Australia and internationally.
7 February 2012: Emerging paths for the next generation of accountantsFollowing on from our two previous thought-leadership initatives, I'm delighted to announce the Institute and the Centre of Accounting Governance and Sustainability from the University of South Australia, will host a new forum on Emerging paths for the next generation of accountants in Adelaide on Tuesday, 7 February 2012. The forum, will for the first time in Australia, assemble key players from across accounting education, universities, the professional associations, and professional services firms. I'll report back on key findings in the coming weeks.

Product photography with seamless backgrounds, help with setup
I have a hobby where i use, collect and trade older computers and accessories of particular brands. I spend quite a while cleaning them up for sale, I don't feel that translates into the photos since i don't have any backdrops or particular lighting setup beside a couple of 56gn flashes with umbrellas for lighting.
I've been looking at the typical kind of tents on ebay, but i'd like something about a 60cm to a meter wide. (aprox. 24" to 40" to you non-metrics).
I've also looked at the kind of tables where you adjust the back.
But I have no relation to the quality of the products i've looked at. So I'd like suggestions. That it is fairly easy to fold and store away would be a big plus.
Any tip?

Parlor Walls is a "trash jazz" trio comprising of Alyse Lamb of post-punk outfit EULA, avant—saxophonist Kate Mohanty, and multi-instrumentalist Chris Mulligan, Lamb's partner in the multi-media art collective Famous Swords. We were fortunate enough to have Parlor Walls open our CMJ showcase with a totally transformational performance. The dexterity of each member, from Mulligan's multi-tasking drumming and keyboard tapping to Mohanty's beautifully interwoven sax playing, as well as Lamb's full throttle command of the stage, made for as memorable a CMJ performance as any given by better known acts on the festival's roster.

The muffled shuffle of Adian Coker's "Been There" begins with a minimal line of percussion, soon eased into a more wholesome groove of metronomic hip-hop. This sampling of the South London rapper's impressive talents features on his latest EP, Time Out of Mind, which has already gained some traction in his native UK. Having explored a gamut of pop-music styles, Coker's hip-hop rests comfortably in a secured space of influences pooling from both sides of the Atlantic. There is indeed a good chunk of East Coast hip-hop in his work that is essentially the tether of which the grime, dubstep and electro-funk elements are attached.

EIN PRESSWIRE: A Press Release distribution service of EIN News
StartupValley Attends SEC Government-Business Forum on Small Business Capital Formation
/EINPresswire.com/ StartupValley attended the annual SEC Government-Business Forum on Small Business Capital Formation on November 15, 2012 in Washington, D.C. The forum was held to address the restrictions and impediments placed on small business capital formation, and give attendees an opportunity to make recommendations for the rules and regulations associated with the implementation of the JOBS Act.
The JOBS Act, passed in April 2012, will eventually allow non-accredited investors to devote capital to startups and small businesses. Most likely, the act will come into effect in early 2013 for accredited investors, but the rules and regulations for non-accredited investors are still in the process of finalization by the SEC for the full rollout expected by end of 2013. The forum also emphasized the legalization of equity crowdfunding, which is the foundation of StartupValley.
StartupValley joined small business executives, venture capitalists, lawyers and government officials at the forum to show support and participate in the conversation regarding equity crowdfunding for non-accredited investors.
Founder and CEO of StartupValley, Daryl H. Bryant, attended the forum with intentions of both learning from and contributing to the conversations of those concerned with the regulations of equity crowdfunding.
"We attended this forum because we needed to gauge where the SEC is in their rule making process so we can assess things moving forward for StartupValley. From our assessment, they have been working hard but it's important the SEC continues to push forward and realize how important equity crowdfunding is for economic growth and job creation in this country. Opposition to crowdfund investing will only further stunt the growth of small businesses and startups in America. "
The most crucial factor for successful crowdfunding is that entrepreneurs are compliant with the crowdfunding bill under the JOBS Act. It's important that there is a pipeline of entrepreneurs ready and compliant; otherwise it is unlikely that the SEC will allow non-accredited investors to fund up and coming businesses.
About StartupValley:
StartupValley is currently in Beta while regulations are being finalized by the SEC, but the site allows entrepreneurs and startups to pitch ideas and gain awareness from possible future investors. Once these rules are published, StartupValley will be a full functioning portal that will allow tech startups and businesses to raise capital for their company through the power of the crowd. Non-accredited investors will be able to provide early-stage investments in these tech-based businesses in exchange for an equity share in their company. Visit StartupValley.com to learn more.

Senate rejects both of Governor's LBJ funding bills
The Senate yesterday rejected in second reading its version of two proposals from Gov. Togiola Tulafono dealing with LBJ Medical Center and then went on a three-day recess to await the House decisions on the identical bills.
The first bill would dissolve the American Samoa Medical Center Authority, including its board of directors and the chief executive officer and transfer the hospital to the Executive Branch under the Department of Health.
The governor told a joint Fono meeting last week that he is looking at having an off-island company, owned by Samoans with experience in hospital management, take over management and operation of LBJ.
The second measure is a $10 million appropriation, to be funded with a hike in excise tax on beer, alcohol and tobacco; an increase in business license fees; a new $2,000 corporate franchise tax; and a new 4% wage tax.
There was call from at least two senators to postpone votes on both bills or at least keep them in committee for the time being, but Senate President Gaoteote Tofau Palaie pointed out that these measures were presented for the current special session and therefore the Senate must act on both measures.
In the end, the majority of senators voted to reject both measures — which are still alive in the House.
With the bills rejected, the Senate has now completed its work for the special session, which also included rejection of the nomination of two board members to the LBJ board of directors.
(Samoa News notes that another LBJ bill proposed by the governor, the $8 million loan from the ASG Employees Retirement Fund, was rejected during the third regular session, by the Senate, and was therefore not on the floor for discussion during this special session.)
Gaoteote then announced that the Senate would now take a three-day recess and reconvene next Tuesday because there was no other work for the Senate to do at this time, except await the final decision by the House on the $10 million appropriation bill and the bill to dissolve the Medical Center Authority.
Current statute allows each chamber to recess for up to 3-days but more than that would require approval of both chambers.
Earlier yesterday morning the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee, chaired by Sen. Lemanu Peleti Mauga, held a meeting to discuss the $10 million appropriation bill without any witnesses being called to testify.
Lemanu recalled for the committee that it was the wish of the majority of senators not to impose additional taxes on the public, and the reason funding sources —when they were first presented last year for another administration bill —were tabled in committee and have not moved forward.
He said that with this current $10 million bill, with the same funding sources, senators remain concerned about the additional burden on the community.
Sen. Lualemaga Faoa said the Senate should not rush into a final decision on the bill, adding that the government should provide an explanation of the proposed revenues to be collected from the funding source; noting that the Senate has received from the government the projected revenue amounts for review.
Sen. Alo Dr. Paul Stevenson, who also urged the Senate not to rush into a decision, says he has questions pertaining to tax exemptions given to corporations and there must be some information on how many have been given such exemptions.
He said the government should be asked as to how many corporation and businesses are paying the right taxes and how many are not doing their share for the ASG finances. He said these are just some of the questions which need to be answered in order for the Senate to get a clear picture of the government's financial status.
Alo reminded senators that this financial issue with LBJ is not a new one and points out that over the last five years or so, a total of $15 million — in two separate loans — were provided to LBJ, whose board and management "is out of control" when it comes to operations of the hospital.
He said his heart goes out to the people who will carry the heavy burden if the new taxes are passed into law, but his heart also goes out to those people who need off-island medical attention, while there is no money in LBJ's account.
Alo suggested that if the $10 million appropriation and the funding sources are too high, then maybe the Senate can look at reducing the amounts, or look at other options.
Sen. Mauga T. Asuega said the proposed taxes and fee hikes in the bill will surely have a big impact on the community and pointed out that there are other funding options to explore.
For example, the Senate still has not received any firm information from the administration on the total amount of government money held at off-island banks and there is still no word from the governor's office on the interest earned by ASG as an investor for the undersea fiber optic cable project.
Mauga recalled his statements last week where he noted that the 2% wage tax to repay the $3 million loan for LBJ from the Workmen's Compensation Account is available for the off-island referral program once the entire loan is paid off, which is something that can be done within a year. (ASG estimates to collect about $4 million annually in the 2% wage tax)
He said these are just some of the funds and options out there to help the hospital and "I do not support this bill."
Sen. Avegalio Aigamaua asked his colleagues for caution and not to move too fast on this measure because of the impact it will have on local businesses. He recalled media reports of testimony before a House committee on Monday from the private sector, who opposed the bill. (See story in yesterday's Samoa News edition)
Sen. Paogofie Fiaigoa pleaded with his colleagues to support the bill, while Sen. Velega Savali Jr. suggested tabling this proposal for another time.
Sen. Fuata Dr. Tagiilima Iatala said its easy to say "yes" and approve a bill but beyond that there is a heavy burden for the community to carry when it comes to taxes. For example, the proposed 4% wage tax — which would take money away from people who need to buy things such as clothes and shoes.
He said the public is already faced with another burden of the 2% wage tax, which does not have a sunset clause — meaning that it will go on forever, unless a bill is passed stopping it.

AUSTIN -- TxDOT and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality are launching this year's Drive Clean Across Texas campaign. The campaign offers gas-saving tips for motorists and a chance to win a 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid.
"Harmful, ground-level ozone is formed when chemicals found in vehicle exhaust and other sources combine with sunlight and heat," said Margo Richards, TxDOT Travel Information Division director. "The good news is that all drivers can make a difference in our air quality. Simple steps such as checking your tire pressure and getting your car tuned up on schedule can reduce tailpipe emissions, improve fuel economy and save drivers money at the pump."
If you keep the correct pressure in your tires, you can help keep the air clean and save about $85 a year in gas. Also, a car in need of maintenance can add $120 to annual gas spending.
For more tips on keeping the air clean and saving money on gas, visit the Drive Clean Across Texas website at drivecleanacrosstexas.org. Visitors also can register online for a chance to win a low-emission, gas-saving Ford Fusion Hybrid car sponsored by the Dallas Cowboys. The deadline for entering is September 15, 2013. The winner will be announced at Cowboys Stadium on Sunday, October 6.
