Natadrol Benefits:
• May Increase Strength
• May Increase Stamina
• May Enhance Fat Loss
• Positive Aggression In the Gym
• Reduced Water Retention
Natadrol is a potent muscle-building androgen found naturally occurring in our environment. Natadrol WILL require an over-the-counter PCT; either Formadrol Extreme or T-911 is recommended. Naturally, androgenic side effects are possible, however, recent testers have only reported very mild sides. Excitingly, Natadrol should NOT make you test positive for steroids, nor is it a steroidal androgen, thus making it difficult for government bodies to pull it from the shelves without excessive legislative reform.
If you're looking for a highly effective alternative to those soon-to-be illegal hormonal products, then this is it! Add the size you want, the strength you need, and the sexual performance you desire with Natadrol!
Natadrol consists of four very carefully extracted ingredients, two of which are completely new to the bodybuilding community, and yield incredible results.
Creating Natadrol wasn't easy. For each ingredient there is a very precise and meticulous process that must be carried out. These ingredients are not easily found in bulk, and even if the extract was found, chances are it isn't what we have here.
When it comes to ingredient extraction, there are two rules to live by:
1) Not all extracts are the same - some are alcohol based, some are water based, and there is a precise reason for both. Alcohol picks up totally different fractions of the plant than water, so finding a study that shows activity of the alcohol doesn't mean you can run out and buy any extract on the shelf. Additionally, something that is potent using the water based extract isn't going to be as beneficial as an alcohol based extract or even the raw herb itself.
2) Every plant will have both estrogenic (which we don't want) and androgenic (which we do want) constituents, so it takes a trained eye to pick only the extracts that avoid estrogenic effects and highlight anabolic/androgenic effects.
With that being said, we MUST use the precise extraction method found in literature that has been shown effective at reducing estrogen and improving the anabolic/andorgenic ratio, so it is imperative that these ingredients have been extracted properly before theyíre used.
The Androgenic aspect of Natadrol:
Tinospora Cordifolia - Ethanolic Extract:
This is the ONLY, and I repeat ONLY, herbal product to FULLY stimulate the androgen receptor, and it is shown in the scientific literature to be about as potent as Hydroxy-Testosterone (hydroxytestosterone is the active version of Formestane). If you use the water extract of this product like I am sure our competitors will, you are going to have very bad effects, so make sure you take the extra time and buy ONLY the ethanolic extract of this product! What is so remarkable about this compound is that not only did it ACT like an androgen in key tissues; its androgenic effects were blocked, similar to DHT by the anti-androgen flutamide, meaning its activity on the androgen receptor is CONFIRMED.
The Anabolic aspect of Natadrol:
Curculigo Orchioides - Water Based Extract:
This new extract is similar to Hibiscus in that the water based extract is a potent sexual stimulant and anabolic. Sadly, the ethanolic extract may be truly androgenic, but it can also pick up the estrogenic components, causing more harm than good in terms of side effects, so we need to avoid it. Still, the water based extract was shown in the literature to have potent sexual and anabolic effects.
Cissus Quadrangularis - Standardized for Ketosterones:
We were not first to bring this ingredient to market, but it has proven itself to be a solid anabolic without any androgenic effects. The ketosterones appear to rebuild muscle and connective tissue, which is important when weight and strength are drastically increased over a short period of time.
pSARMs found in Natadrol:
Hibiscus Rosa-Sinesis - Water Based Extract:
Shown in the literature as a potent pSARM (phyto selective androgen response modifier), this again is only valid with the proper WATER based extraction method since the ethanol extract in this case may pick up some things we don't want. This water-based plant is an anabolic pSARM that shows an increase in body weight in testers. The ethanolic extract is both estrogenic and androgenic, which makes it undesirable until someone can figure out how to separate the fractions, but until then we can enjoy its pSARM properties that are quite significant themselves.
So, how does it feel to be on Natadrol?
One tester who has a very extensive history with prohormones ranked both the weight and strength gains on par with 1-ADÆ, with slightly less side effects and slightly higher positive aggression, libido, and strength, that only took second to Superdrol.
With Natadrol you may get the full anabolic/androgenic spectrum with extremely impressive results that lead to gains in lean body mass, a heightened level of self-esteem, and an aggressively charged libido.
PCT and Natadrol
Even though it is natural, it is POTENT, so you are going to want to run PCT with this product. Over the counter PCT is fine. Examples of this would be our Formadrol Extreme or T-911, but you could also use Indole-3-Carbinol (I3C) or Resveratrol.
If you're looking for a highly effective alternative to those soon-to-be illegal hormonal products, then this is it! Add the size you want, the strength you need, and the sexual performance you desire with LG Science Natadrol!

How the Independent College Bookstore Association adopted the hosted-buyer model as its relationship-building format — and why other organizations are doing the same.
It happened right after the 2003 annual meeting — a revelation. In a debriefing after the event, Stacy Waymire and his staff at the Independent College Bookstore Association shifted their conversation to finding a new way to engage both exhibitors and attendees. "We thought: 'Wouldn't it be great if instead of doing a traditional trade show, we set it up so buyers would have private appointments with vendors?'" recalls Waymire, executive director of the Ashland, Ore.?based association. "We ...

Antihydrogen atoms may become the easiest and most precise way to probe deeply into tests of violation of the CPT (charge conjugation, parity, time reversal) symmetry and the Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP). We review the first production of cold antihydrogen atoms within the ATHENA/AD‐1 experiment at CERN, its motivations and studies henceforth. The ATHENA success was followed almost immediately by the ATRAP group. From the initial claim of production of tens of thousand of these exotic species — by the mixing of cold and trapped positrons and antiprotons — we have evolved to better understand and control the system. The joint production for 2002 and 2003 has been re‐evaluated to about one million antiatoms. We have performed cooling efficiency studies of antiprotons within the positron cloud; developed ways to excite and heat the positron cloud, and probe its number, density and temperature in situ; developed antiproton and antihydrogen imaging tomography. We have also been able to gather information on the velocity of the formed antiatoms. A large uncertainty and lack of control remains over the formation process — as revealed by its measured temperature dependence — and the quantum number distribution of the population. We discuss various aspects of our findings below as well as future prospects for physics tests with antihydrogen.

0-2mths | 1-3 mths | 4-7mths | 8-12 mths | 1-2 yrs | New baby and toddler
Although your baby has been developing in so many ways, it's not uncommon for him to experience sleep problems as he nears his first birthday. Stranger anxiety and separation anxiety are two normal stages of development that occur during this time that and can rob you both of much needed sleep time. Tears and tantrums when you leave him in his crib at night and sleep interruption when he wakes up looking for you are both signs that he is experiencing separation anxiety.
Although it can be difficult to respond to his needs with the right balance of concern and consistency, it's important that you ensure restful nights for your family by making sure his association with night time sleep remains positive and that your response to him at night is predictable.
The average number of hours your baby will sleep per day is approximately 13 to 14, but ranges outside of this are considered normal.
You'll probably find he is napping twice a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon with an average length of one hour, although some babies will nap for 20 minutes and others a couple of hours. An adequate amount of sleep prevents your baby from becoming cranky and encourages a good time night time sleep pattern, so it's important to establish a regular schedule and be as consistent as possible with nap times.
By this age, your baby is probably rolling over and picking a comfortable nighttime sleep position and dressing your child in a sleep bag with an appropriate seasonal weight will greatly reduce sleep disturbances from him becoming too hot or cold.
When he wakes up in the night and cries for you, remember not to reward him, or it may continue for a long time. Reassure him quietly that you are there, and a quick exit. If you are firm and consistent about requiring him to resettle back to sleep, this stage should pass pretty quickly.
If he wakes up during the night crying, do not to reward the behavior as it may him establish bad habits and expectations. Instead, quietly reassure him you are there and then quickly move out of the room. A firm and consistent approach is required and will soon settle him back to sleep.
Remember to rule out illness or soiled diapers during these visits, and if you do need to change him, keep the lighting low and keep interaction to a minimum, avoiding eye contact. Ensure that your baby's crib meets national safety standards and remove items that pose suffocation or strangulation risks such as large stuffed animals, ties, ribbons and sharp objects.
Once he is able to pull himself up using the sides of the crib, it's time to remove the mobiles and any other objects he may be able to touch whilst standing up. Wall hangings, pictures, draperies, and window blind cords are all potentially harmful and should be out of baby's reach.
Your baby doesn't like to be away from you, but try to handle nighttime detachment the same way you would manage separation anxiety during the day, for example with a babysitter or daycare drop off. Follow your usual nighttime routine with an extra hug and kiss, letting him know you will see him soon before making a quick exit.
A favorite toy inside the crib may help to soothe him and provide a sense of comfort but remember to make sure it's safe and doesn't pose any suffocation or strangulation risk. Transitional objects can help baby to become more independent and less reliant on his parents for comfort. Leaving his door open so he can hear activity in the next room can help him feel less alone, and if he cries and calls for you, a few words of reassurance from the bedroom door and a quick exit will usually help. If frequent visits to his room and reassurance are required, try to lengthen the time between these periods until he falls asleep.
Teething pain can be a common reason for sleep problems at this age and your doctor may be able to suggest ways to relieve your baby's discomfort.
Consult your pediatrician if he becomes inconsolable, irritable over a number of days because of interrupted sleep, has a temperature or breathing difficulties.

You're Missing Out on Thousands of Rush Quotes! Join Rush 24/7 NOW!
"Senator Obama is not the agent of racial healing. He is the product of it."
"Barack Obama blamed Jeremiah Wright's hatred on his generation, but there were a lot of blacks who grew up in the '50s and '60s who did not become Jeremiah Wright. Just because you grew up then does not entitle you to hate the country and build a ministry around it."
"America has transcended race; there is so much evidence of that that I don't even want to waste time citing it. But Barack Obama's church hasn't. His speech was an act of political necessity, not courage."
"Obama may want us to stop playing Reverend Wright videos and audios, but not here! I think we need a Reverend Wright segment every day on this program so that Americans know what's going on in the church of the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee."
"Stop the tape! 'Fierce critic', my sizable rear end! Yeah, it's a little larger than it was a year ago. I gotta work on it."
"I'm an individualist. I don't want to be told that I am who I am because of people way back in my family or the genetic code that led me to be born the way I'm born, because that gives me an excuse for being whatever reprobate I want to be."
"Here is Barack Obama's speech in a nutshell: 'Racism is wrong. Barking-mad racism and hate -- as uttered by Reverend Wright -- is wrong, but it's justified because we don't have nationalized health care.'"
"The greatness of this country did not come about by virtue of government policy. It came about by the ingenuity and creativity of the hard-working American."
"We all go through life not being liked by people, but you don't surrenderpower to those people to reshape your life in bitterness and rage for the rest of your days. You only get one life, and you have to make the most of it -- and with conservatism you can."
"If you 'profoundly disagree' with the Reverend Wright, Senator Obama, then why did you give him an advisory role in your campaign?"

Utterly appalling commission incumbents and former incumbents
I attended the June 12th County Commission candidate debate to hear what each candidate would bring to the Board of Commissioners. Unfortunately, Mr. Hearn, Mr. Horgan and Mr. Smith included statements about the fine job they had done protecting the taxpayers' money. Each presented detailed information about what a splendid job they had done watching over our money. But please consider the following.
Those three commissioners, along with [former Commissioner Eric] Maxwell and [current Chairman Herb] Frady, came to major decisions regarding the West Fayetteville Bypass as well as the East Fayetteville Bypass. These roads are among the largest expenditures in recent history and decisions for both projects were reached without any knowledge concerning the ability of either road to accomplish the expressed intention of bypassing traffic.
The concept for building bypass roads around Fayetteville have been on the books for many long years. But what is not well-known is that there never was an evaluation of any bypass or alternatives within those plans to determine how effectively they would relief traffic congestion.
I expended a lot of time and energy looking for studies that supported these projects. I also had intense discussions with county staff and later, on repeated occasions, challenged these same commissioners to show how either bypass would take vehicles off the streets of Fayetteville. Not once was any such information made available, yet these three decided to expend millions of our tax dollars anyway.
The 2004 Fayette County Transportation Plan does include traffic counts at intersections throughout the county. However, showing the number of vehicles passing a particular point does not equal an in-depth evaluation of where that traffic is going nor does it tell you how much relief would result from a new road. If a commissioner tells you he knows the bypasses will work, please ask him to produce the proof. There simply is no such evidence.
So I ask you, why would anyone vote for people who come to a meeting to tell us they took care of our money yet they made massive mistakes with millions of our tax dollars?
They congratulated themselves for balancing the county budget hoping you would ignore the fact that they wasted more tax money in their time in office than every set of commissioners before them.
Then when pressed to explain themselves, they blame us because we voted for it. The vote for building a bypass was for a basic concept to relieve traffic in Fayetteville. A large amount of money was made available for them to accomplish this, but they failed the public trust — and then blamed us. How utterly appalling.
When they were elected, assuming they cared enough to check and learn that the bypass viability was questionable, they should have demanded that staff come up with a plan that works. In reality, all of this should have taken place before the proposal was included on the ballot so voting for a bypass would have better results.
There is a book, written in 1954, which applies to what we are hearing from these three commissioners: "How to Lie with Statistics" by Darrell Holt. You will find a version online these days or where to order a copy. It shows how numbers can be used, or misused, and you will recognize just how much it sounds like the trash we heard from them on June 12th.
When Mr. Hearn, Mr. Horgan and Mr. Smith tell us how good they are when it comes to taking care of our money, keep in mind that they say so hoping to get your vote. That is almost as big a joke, maybe bigger, than when Horgan claimed, on June 12th, that during his time in office he protected our greenspace. Total nonsense, all of it.
In the process of making their massive mistakes which cost so much money, they destroyed, or will soon destroy, some of the best environments in Fayette County. They also caused painful and expensive upheaval to numerous families. And not once have they provided any explanation of why they were making such poor decisions.
I can't think of a reason, none whatsoever, for a single vote to be cast for any of them. Fayette County has a slate of outstanding candidates for Fayette County Commission — these three men should not receive your consideration because they, in my opinion, do not measure up to the others.

Soppressata is an Italian dry salami. Two principal types are made: a cured dry sausage typical of Basilicata, Apulia,[1] and Calabria, and a very different uncured salame, made in Tuscany and Liguria. Perhaps the best-known internationally is the sopressa veneta. Each of these varieties qualifies for prodotto agroalimentare tradizionale status.
Soppressata can be made of fresh hams, as well as other cuts. Pork is the traditional meat used, though it is sometimes made using beef. The meat is either coarsely pressed or ground as with other salami. Pressing gives it an uneven, rustic appearance when sliced. Soppressata is a specialty of southern Italy, and often includes hot pepper (though, as with all salami, seasonings vary). The sausage is hung up to dry for 3 to 12 weeks, depending on the diameter, and loses about 30% of its original weight. Cured soppressata is often stored in jars of olive oil. It is commonly sliced thin and placed on crackers or sandwiches or eaten by itself,[2] and is becoming a popular alternative topping to pepperoni for pizza in some pizzerias in the United States.[2]
Soppressata di Basilicata is mainly produced in Rivello, Cancellara, Vaglio, and Lagonegro. Soppressata di Puglia of Martina Franca is especially famed. Soppressata di Calabria enjoys Protected designation of origin status; the one produced in Decollatura is especially renowned.
Soppressata Toscana, Tuscan soppressata, is made from the leftover parts of the pig. First, the head is boiled for a few hours. When it is done, it is picked of meat and skin. All of the meat and skin, including the tongue, are chopped, seasoned, and then stuffed into a large casing. The cooking liquid is poured in to cover the mixture and it is then hung and the cooking liquid (high in gelatin) thickens to bind everything together. It is similar to the English brawn and the German Presskopf (Austrian Presswurst).
Sopressa Veneta got its name from the practice of pressing the salami between planks of wood resulting in a straight, flattened shape. The northern Italian version from Vicenza, in the Veneto region, did away with the pressed shape and has become an international favorite.

Tucked at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains, along the historic American River, El Dorado Wine Country dates back to mining days, when James Marshall first planted a vineyard on a hill behind his cabin. Today, the cities of Placerville, Mount Aukum, Fair Play and Camino are home to more than 30 vineyards and wineries. Though all types of wines are produced here, standouts include Barbera, Syrah and Cabernet Franc varietals.
Though all of the wineries have their charm, we were taken by Lava Cap Winery (perfect for a vineyard picnic), Crystal Basin Cellars and David Girard Vineyards (located just a few miles from Coloma). In January, the region hosts its Bring out the Barrel weekend, and Passport weekends are offered March and April.
Tip: Sacramento Wine Tours offers limo and coach tours of El Dorado wine country. Don't miss a stop at historic Coloma, which is home to the Marshall Gold Discovery State Park.
Address: 2221 Fruitridge Rd, Placerville, CA
Tickets: Tastings average $5-$10
Hours: 11-5 Friday-Sunday; some open weekdays.

I thought it was okay. It will definitely never be an award winner, but it could be a nice guilty pleasure. I'll keep watching for now.
My biggest problem was with the girl who plays Cassie. She's bland even by CW standards.

I loved it..but the lead is bland!!!!! I was surprised about Shelly..maybe she should have been lead..she doesn't suck on this show. :D
OMGosh..I can't even tell you how much I freakin love Gale Harold!!!! My Brian Kinney is back! He is so deliciously badass..if this show is a success, it will be because of him! :wub: The best thing they did was cast him, now they need to move the teen scene to the left and keep him front and center.. :lol:

I hope Diana will not be this school-marmish forever. It doesn�t suit Shelley at all. I didn�t mind the lead but I was seriously annoyed with Adam and the way he was openly flirting with Cassie while claiming he "loves" Diana. But isn�t it funny Shelley is once again playing a losing party in a triangle? Are all the producers blind?
Still, I remember how awfull was the pilot of VD so this wasn�t so bad. All the ingrediences are there, so hopefully Wiliamson will not disappoint and it will quickly find its footing.

So, the ratings are in. 3 million viewers for this show and The Vampire Diaries. A success by the CW's standards.
I watched mainly for Shelley Hennig, since she's a Days alum. I was curious how she would pull off looking like a teenager and was pleasantly surprised. Minimal make-up and a modest hairstyle can do wonders. As for her performance, I was surprised by how lively she was. That was nice to see.
I'm gonna wait a while before judging the entire series. Pilots usually serve for a. introducing the characters and the premise of the show to the audience and b. letting the producers kniw what needs to improve. I'll take a look at a few more episodes and then decide. There is one thing I already like, though. The adults have a story. A real story, not the usual "we used to be together in high school, broke up and now years later are still in love with each other"-stuff we usually see on teen shows.

Huh? No. She's always been great. It's that bitchy one who needs to TONE. IT. DOWN.

Streetcorner Philosopher
IA that the lead was bland. And hell yes, the bitchy one needs to turn it down. I kept flashing back to Passions because it was similar (Kay on Passions, Fay here). Frankly, Passions was better. They need to send these kids to the acting camp where all the VD kids went.
I was not a fan of the show. Didn't really get the whole concept of the circle, why they needed to tell her she's a witch, why they need a circle at all. I mean, she refused to join the circle and yet her mere presence amplified their powers (at least the wicked one's) enough to make that storm. So...why not just feed off her?
And I wouldn't worry about Diana being bland. It's pretty clear she'll flip out when her boyfriend and the new girl hook up. That's not a spoiler; that's what the pilot set up (Diana's dad is evil; the new girl's mom and boyfriend's dad were destined, or whatever).
I'll watch again, I'm sure. But yeah. Not a great start, imho.
|Sep 16 2011, 06:26 PM Post #11
As we learned at the end it was Diana�s evil dad and Fay�s (evil?) mum who needed Cassie back in town. That�s why Cassie�s mum had to die.
As for why Diana told her she is a witch, she realized she has no other choice after Fay almost let Cassie burried alive to test her powers and later pretty much told Diana she will make Cassie join the circle no matter what. Diana decided to tell her first and hopefully convince her to do the binding ritual so everybody stays safe.
I agree the witch rules aren�t very detailed so far, but my quess Cassie joined the circle the moment Adam made her do her first spell and she become conscious of her powers.

I just watched this now. It kept my interest. Some of the dialogue was weak. The acting was ok.
I'll watch it again, but I really hate how this show gets the "CW treatment" like all other CW shows - trying to make the show appear like an A&F photoshoot with slick music, models and clothes. Why does every single one of their shows need to be like this?

If Fay were smart she'd just have fed off Cassie's presence because it was pretty clear with the storm at the end she didn't need Cassie's active participation. That's really where I had my issue. How much more powerful can they be with her choosing to be part of the circle? Just made the whole circle deal seem unnecessary, imho.

Thought it was ok. Cassie was kind of a wet blanket, but that didn't bother me too much. ITA about Faye. She was definitely over the top.
I hope they keep up with Gale Harold's character. He's the main reason I even thought to give it a chance.(along with Thomas Dekker)

|I didn't know Ashley Crow was going to be in this (she's Cassie's grandmother). I remember when she was on ATWT as Duncan's daughter Beatrice.

|I feel like I've watched it before... can't remember if it was called "The Craft" or "Charmed" it's like "The Charmed Craft" for me it's been done, a few times.

I love this show, but I also hate it.
I just wish they would answer some damn questions already!!!! I hate shows that tease, tease, tease, tease, tease!!!!
Just SPIT IT OUT ALREADY. What happened all those years ago? And what is Faye's mom's agenda?

Faye is such a two dimensional bad girl. She's my least favorite. I wish we'd gotten an actress who could have brought more to the character.
I thought the second episode was much better than the first.

I disagree. I think the actress has potential. I thought she was pretty one-sided, too.... until the 2nd episode, when I saw the pangs of remorse and worry flood through her face when she shoved that class president chick.
Just wish they would hurry up & tell us what happened with the "old" circle.
Faye's grandfather mentioned something about "elders", so hopefully.. they can bring another dimension to the story-telling.
This constant teasing of mystery bothers me.

Antiques Considered - June 12, 2013

The gentleman who had last week's two stoneware pieces also has these two cookie jars. Other than the expected wear, they are in excellent condition. The yellow one has hand-painted floral decoration, whereas the brown one is unadorned. Both have their
original lids, but bear no indication of the factory that made them. They have been family pieces for several generations, and have been used for cookie storage up until recently. The owner asks whether the paining on the yellow one could be original. Cookie jars remain one of the most collectible genres in the antiques world. They always are in demand, and sell well both in auctions and estate sales, as well as in shops. These two are good examples. The brown one dates from the early twentieth century, and is a less popular form. It is worth $75. The yellow one with the hand-painted decoration is a horse of a different color, to "overwork" a cliché. It two is early twentieth century, and is more in keeping with the traditional design of a cookie jar. Yellow is perhaps the most popular color, and the paining only makes it more desirable. It reminds me of an old one we had in our home when I was a child. The color is still vibrant, and the painting is well done. Undoubtedly, the paining came on it from the factory, and was not an add-on, done by a family member. This cookie jar would be a good addition to anyone's collection. At auction it likely would go for over $100, and perhaps more, given the everpresent popularity of good examples. Cookie jar collectors' clubs and societies abound, and always are looking for new members. I suggest contacting some of them to inquire if owners of similar ones might know the name of the factory that made each of these two. Happy Antiquing!

Cheats and Walkthroughs
We've created a guide for the Assassin's Creed: Revelations multiplayer beta that Ubisoft has announced will launch September 3 and last until September 11 exclusively for PlayStation Plus members on the PlayStation Network and select PlayStation 3 Uplay members. If you have a PSPlus account you can preload the beta on September 2.
The AC: R multiplayer beta will offer access to nine characters that you can get up to level 30:
- The Sentinel – A Wallachian noble by birth and a former Assassin, Vali cel Tradat seeks satisfaction through vengeance. Favored weapon: Long Katar
- The Vanguard – Oksana Razin worked for the Templars as a spy before joining their Order, exchanging loyalty for wealth. Favored weapon: Small Axe
- The Guardian – The estranged cousin of a Sultan, Odai Dunqas embraces the Templar ideology of seeking peace through order and stability. Favored weapon: Lance
- The Vizier – Damat Ali Pasha joined the Templars in hopes of bringing order and glory to a world ruled by chaos. Favored weapon: Sword
- The Thespian – The Templars often rely on Lysistrata's seductive charisma to influence Ottoman officials and visiting monarchs. Favorite weapon: Dagger
- The Deacon – Cyril of Rhodes uses his position in the Church to destroy it from within and further Templar dominance. Favored weapon: Long Sword
- The Bombardier – Kadir is a strong asset to the Templars. He trades weapons and information for money and power. Favored weapon: Mace
- The Trickster – A canny thief, the fortune-teller Mirela Djuric is the Templars' link to a vast underworld of criminal activity. Favored weapon: Dagger
- The Champion – The professional fighter Georgios Kostas has earned the Templars' esteem and the right to fight for the red cross. Favored weapon: Small Axe
To learn more about the three maps, four playable modes, abilities, perks, and more, check after the break.
The three maps in the AC: R beta are Knight's Hospital, Antioch, and Constantinople. These maps have been tuned to allow for more strategy than the Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood maps had. Within these maps you'll be able to play four different modes:
- Wanted – Your objective is to kill your designated TARGETS and avoid being killed by your PURSUERS. The higher you rank, the more PURSUERS will hunt you. The highest score wins. Quality kills will boost your score through bonuses earned.
o Free for all – 4-8 players
o Session – 1 round of 10 minutes
- Manhunt – Each team takes turns pursuing the other team. Work together to kill your targets or hide with your allies and survive. Performing quality kills and hiding with your allies will boost your score.
o Team – 4-8 players, 2 teams
o Session – 2 rounds of 5 minutes
- Deathmatch (NEW) – Find and kill assigned TARGETS and avoid being killed by your PURSUERS. Templars compete in a small area without triggering CHASES and your COMPASS has been deactivated. In this mode, only one of each character type walks the map, so TARGETS are easy to spot. Quality kills will boost your score through earned bonuses.
o Free for all – 4-8 players
o Session – 1 round of 10 minutes
- Artifact Assault (NEW) – Your objective is to score by stealing the enemy's artifact from their base and carrying it back to yours. When you're in your territory, you are a PURSUER and can kill opponents, but once you move into enemy territory, you become a TARGET and can be killed. The team with the highest score wins.
o Team – 4-8 players, 2 teams
o Session – 1 round of 10 minutes
There will also be eight abilities for you to play around with in the beta. A few you'll remember from AC: B, and not all of them will be available right away, but as you increase your rank they'll be unlocked. You'll also be able to obtain Abstergo Credits as you play matches and perform specific multiplayer actions. In order to unlock abilities you'll have to spend Abstergo Credits.
- Tripwire Bomb (NEW) – Once armed, the Tripwire Bomb explodes when a TARGET or a PURSUER steps on it.
- Closure (NEW) – Trigger all chase-breakers around you. Perfect for trapping PURSUERS or preventing the escape of a TARGET.
- Disguise – Temporarily change your appearance to surprise your opponent. Particularly effective in the new Deathmatch mode!
- Fire Crackers – Drop Firecrackers on the ground to blind opponents and scare the crowd. Pay attention to crowd behavior and your TARGET will be revealed!
- Throwing Knives – Use Throwing Knives to injure your opponents, slowing them down or making them fall when climbing.
- Smoke Bomb – Throw a Smoke Bomb to confuse the crowd and rival Templars. An old stand-by for veteran Assassin's Creed Brotherhood players.
- Poison – Dispense a stealthy dose of Poison that will slowly kill your TARGET. A bit underhanded, perhaps, but no less effective.
- Morph – Transform characters from the crowd into your duplicates, hiding you from PURSUERS. Ideal for the new Deathmatch mode where remaining unseen is difficult!
There are also four perks, streaks, and loss bonusues that will be available in the beta. Again, some of them will be familiar from Brotherhood, while others are completely new. Most of them will unlock as you rank up:
- Sentry Perk (NEW) – Increase the out-of-sight duration of your lock.
- Enhanced Auto-Bash Perk – Increases the number of CIVILLIANS you can bash before losing your balance.
- Hot Pursuit Perk (NEW) – Increases your speed when you run after your TARGET and slows down the depletion of your APPROACH METER.
- Blender Perk – Each time you blend with a crowd, one CIVILIAN automatically Morphs into your lookalike.
- 3 Kills Streak – Earn an additional bonus of 200 points for every 3 kills or stun Streaks performed without dying.
- 2 Silent Kills Streak – Earn an additional bonus of 200 points for every 2 Silent kills performed without dying.
- Silent Animus Hack Streak (NEW) – When the streak counter reaches 6, you will hack the Animus, raining arrows down from the sky and killing all other Templar Agents.
- Animus Hack Streak (NEW) – When the streak counter reaches 8, you will hack the Animus, raining arrows down from the sky and killing all other Templar Agents.
- Vision Loss Bonus (NEW) – Reveals the location of out-of-sight TARGETS until you perform a kill. Occurs after 5 deaths or stuns in a row.
- Tracker Loss Bonus (NEW) – Reveals a TARGET in your sight by highlighting their path with a yellow aura until you perform a kill. Occurs after 5 contract losses in a row.
- Revelation Loss Bonus (NEW) – Reveals all PURSUERS in your sight until you perform a kill. Occurs after 5 deaths or stuns in a row.
- Minor Hack Loss Bonus (NEW) – Allows you to kill your next TARGET from a distance. Occurs after 5 contract losses in a row.
One of the new features to Assassin's Creed: Revelations is the playlist preset. With these you can preset search criteria that will enable you to play a game with your preferences as quickly as possible. Here are all the available playlists:
- Free For All – Joins next available match in Wanted or Deathmatch modes on any Map.
- Team – Joins next available match in Manhunt or Artifact Assault modes on any Map.
- Welcome – Joins next available match in Deathmatch mode on any Map. Abstergo's idea of a warm welcome
Assassin's Creed: Revelations will also be introducing Ability Sets with this beta which act kind of like loadouts for your character. Abilities, perks, kill streaks, and loss streaks will come packaged in ability sets. There will be pre-defined ability sets that will come with the most popular and useful abilities, and you'll get two set that you can customize yourself.
At this time we're not sure if this will be the whole beta, and if only PSN users will be getting the chance to play. Such a short time for beta testing isn't too common, so we'll see.
If you don't get the chance to participate in the multiplayer beta, you can still play the full version of Assassin's Creed: Revelations when it's released for the Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3 on November 15.

|Mais informações:
"Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS), or lidar, is an enormously important innovation for data collection and interpretation in archaeology. The application of archaeological 3D data deriving from sources including ALS, close-range photogrammetry and terrestrial and photogrammetric scanners has grown exponentially over the last decade. Such data present numerous possibilities and challenges, from ensuring that applications remain archaeologically relevant, to developing practices that integrate the manipulation and interrogation of complex digital datasets with the skills of archaeological observation and interpretation. This volume addresses the implications of multi-scaled topographic data for contemporary archaeological practice in a rapidly developing field, drawing on examples of ongoing projects and reflections on best practice. Twenty papers from across Europe explore the implications of these digital 3D datasets for the recording and interpretation of archaeological topography, whether at the landscape, site or artefact scale. The papers illustrate the variety of ways in which we engage with archaeological topography through 3D data, from discussions of its role in landscape archaeology, to issues of context and integration, and to the methodological challenges of processing, visualisation and manipulation. Critical reflection on developing practice and implications for cultural resource management and research contextualize the case studies and applications, illustrating the diverse and evolving roles played by multi-scalar topographic data in contemporary archaeology"--Page 4 of cover.

The Debate Over The Missouri Tax Cut Bill
By Steve Kraske & Danie Alexander • May 1, 2014
Gov. Jay Nixon is expected to veto the proposed Missouri income tax cut later today.
On April 23, Up to Date's Steve Kraske spoke with Amy Blouin, Executive Director of the Missouri Budget Project, who opposes the tax cut, and Patrick Ishmael, a policy analyst with the Show-Me Institute who supports the signing of the bill.
