: Confused about porosity and width
I'm still trying to define my hair properties and there are some things that confuse me.
Right now, I believe that my properties are high density, coarse, low porosity. The latter I thought to be high in the beginning when I did the slip 'n slide test. I clearly felt bumps and this was true for many different strands on many different place. However, when I did the float test, my hair kept floating and floating and floating, which made me believe I'm low porosity. Additionally, my hair takes some time to get thoroughly wet and when I refresh in the morning with a spray bottle, huge drops are on my hair like beads.
When it comes to the products I've been using since going CG, I'm experiencing different things. It seems that the CJ Argan & Olive Oil is quite to heavy to use as a co-wash on my healthy hair and weighs it down. This is not true when I use a shampoo (I discovered this after a build-up disaster and cleansed with a sulphate shampoo as no other was around). The weighing down when co-washing makes me believe I'm overconditioning.
What doesn't make sense to me is that my hair weighs down as this conditioner has plenty of emollients, which low porosity hair is supposed to like. Low porosity is supposed to dislike protein-rich products. Curl Junkie Curl Queen is a protein bomb, but I'm not sure whether I get the straw-like hair I should get if I truly got low porous hair. I still have a producty look after just applying it, but in the evening, my curls are relatively soft.
I determined that my hair is coarse because I always see it and it just feels very coarse. I certainly have moments when my hair actually has a silky feel, but often the coarseness takes over. I'm just wondering whether this coarseness is a hint for my hair being coarse or whether it is the straw-like hair I'm supposed to have when using protein if I get my porosity property right.
The only properties I'm confident about is elasticity (normal) and density (high). Based on my observations, has anyone any thoughts? I'm about to order some new CJ products and I really want to try Coffee CoCo Curl Creme, but only if I think it matches what my hair needs. I will only know if I learn more about why my hair behaves the way it does.

- Our Impact
Providing Free Shelter during the Cold
Tue, January 15, 2013
Crisis, hunger and homelessness can happen anytime, to virtually anyone. For United Way of Greater Philadelphia & Southern New Jersey, connecting people in need with local resources and assistance, along with access to resources that lead to long-term solutions, is a critical part of our mission. In Burlington County, we mobilize an additional safety net program this time of year to help our most vulnerable neighbors during the cold winter months.
The "Code Blue" program guarantees free shelter to homeless individuals in temporary shelters when temperatures dip below freezing. Code Blue was created after a 52-year old woman, who lived in an abandoned bread truck, died during sub-freezing weather in Lumberton in 2002. A plan and process were instated to help get people out of deadly cold weather and save lives.
Pat Lasusky, Director of Interfaith Hospitality Network of Burlington County, said of the program, "United Way was instrumental in developing and nurturing the Code Blue system that, in cold weather emergencies, opens shelters that serve hundreds of people during the winter season. I have no doubt that this program has saved lives."
Originally utilizing motel rooms for emergency lodging, the program's budget was quickly stretched to its limit. In 2006 a different approach was taken to incorporate faith-based groups into the program, which generously opened their doors to house those in need. This tactic also enables us to provide on-site services such as health screenings, flu shots and case management to help people get back on their feet again. In the past three years, nearly 4,000 nights of shelter have been provided through Code Blue.
Even with the new plan in place, the Code Blue budget is often stretched to its limit during several consecutive days extreme cold. To help ensure we meet this growing need, generous grants from foundations, such as the Social Services for the Homeless (SSH), support the Code Blue Program.

Ved-ava's Curse. 2nd edition.
By: Garrett Johnson.
Availability: Special Order. Usually ships in 1-5 days.
Published: Dirk Press, 2010.
After the storm of the century passes, survivors along the coast usually
have a tale to tell; but Seaside's elite aren't talking. Christy and
her misfit gang stumble upon the reason why as a sinister supernatural
sea legend involving marauding fiendish mermen unfolds around them.
Local author Beatrice LaRoche and her illustrator ol' Mr. Gepford seem
to have an authoritative knowledge of the esoteric subject the kids are
digging into, but the odd harpoon marks on their arms put them in league
with the "Harpies" group the children distrust. Unless the gang can
convince the right folks that the "time of reckoning" forewarned by the
eccentric old artist exists outside his imagination, their community
could go under without a fight. Ved-ava's Curse is a
suspense/adventure set in Seaside and throughout Clatsop County to
include Fort Stevens. The fiction novel, for young adults and older, is
marked with humor, conspiracy, and adventure challenging each of us to
examine our own values along with the limits of our imagination in day
to day life.

The Terps usually struggle against the highly competitive teams in the conference but have the best team. He has CAA runner up Towson in the second spot after they went 30-28. The Navy Midshipmen come in at the third spot after another 30 win campaign and an appearance in the Patriot League Championship series. The rest of the top five is filled out by America East member UMBC and Northeast Conference member Mount St. Mary's. You can check out the full article by clicking here.

Instagram Birthday Greetings
As we all know, social media has really made an impact in pro tennis (among other places) and it's apparently become a great way to keep track of your favorite players' birthdays. Within 24 hours these two posts popped up Instagram. I don't know about you but I didn't remember it was Stan's birthday - and his 30th to boot. Thankfully the fine ATP World Tour folks were keeping track. You gotta love (?) Stan's shirt and that cake looks AMAZING.
And just one day later - in a more model-like pose on Pico's page...
I love Pico's creative use of emojis. It's almost like he planned in out. Too cute.
These two birthday shout outs got me thinking about upcoming birthdays so I did a quick search in the 2015 ATP World Tour and 2015 WTA Media Guides and below is a list of players born in April.
4/2 – David Ferrer
4/3 – Tommy Haas, Madison Brengle
4/6 – Robin Haase
4/7 – Sorana Cirstea
4/10 – Thanasi Kokkinakis
4/12 – Marcel Granollers
4/17 – Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
4/19 – Maria Sharapova
4/20 – Alex Zverev
4/23 – Daniela Hantuchova
4/25 – Jan-Lennard Struff
4/26 – John Isner, Jarmilla Gajdosova
4/27 – Nick Kyrgios
4/29– Bob Bryan, Mike Bryan, Sara Errani
Most of these folks are on Instagram so I'm sure we'll see more shout outs!

To say this was an unusual week at the box office is putting it mildly. The shooting at the Dark Knight Rises opening in Colorado cast a pall over the entire film industry. The studios agreed to delay the box office data until Monday, a highly unusual instance of the studios cooperating. Other than Dark Knight Rises, everything was down and down a lot. Most of it over 50%. I suspect this is a combination of the massive anticipation for Dark Knight Rises (including tons of advance ticket sales) and some people not going to the movies in the wake of the shooting. Either way, Dark Knight opened with $160,887,295, which is good for the #3 opening all-time, behind Avengers and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt 2. There's some noise about it being the highest non-3-D movie, but I'm not sure to what extent the IMAX version does or doesn't mitigate that angle, since Nolan was emphasizing the IMAX aspects during filming.

One of the best things about Christopher Nolan's Batman movies is that the villians are truly bad people, not just cardboard guys in suits. And in the glimpse of Bane (played by Tom Hardy) that same feeling of danger comes across.
Can't wait.
Hathaway is Catwoman and Hardy is Bane in Dark Knight Rises
After months of speculation, we now know that Christopher Nolan isn't giving up the Batman franchise without going into the sexy feminine side of the myth: Anne Hathaway will play Catwoman in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES — and yes, that sounds pretty dirty. And the previously announced Tom Hardy will play back-breaker Bane, an escaped criminal who gets super strength after getting jacked on drugs. (Bane was responsible for breaking Batman's spine in a '90s comics storyline.)

As defending North American 3 Hockey League and USA Hockey Tier III Junior A national champions, the North Iowa Bulls have more returning players than often would be anticipated in that scenario.
Forward Tim Santopoalo is leading the way in making sure the Bulls make the most of a rare opportunity.
"We talk about it," Santopoalo said of continuing the success. "We know it's not just going to happen.
"All the veterans on our team are just pushing the rookies and pushing ourselves even more to try to do the best we can."
That push has carried the Bulls to the league's only perfect record (14-0-0) and Santopoalo to the top of the league's scoring race, even though some other NA3HL players have played in as many as eight more games.
"Unexpectedly, we have 12 guys back right now, with the possibility of even another returning," North Iowa coach Todd Sanden said. "It's a situation where these kids were so good for us last year that if they do want to come back, they're welcome."
Santopoalo, for example, had a tryout with the North American Hockey League's Minnesota Magicians, but he always knew if that didn't work out, he would like to be back with the Bulls in Mason City, Iowa.
"I honestly thought I would be in the North American League this year, but the second I didn't make the team, I was very excited to come back to North Iowa because there's no place I'd rather play," he said.
The return allowed Santopoalo to resume classes at North Iowa Area Community College to put himself in the best possible situation to join an NCAA Division III program next season as a transfer student.
The 20-year-old from Roscoe, Ill. has played seven career games in the NAHL, but those came three seasons ago when he was briefly called up to the Janesville Jets during a season in which he won his fourth Illinois high school state title with Rockford.
Sanden, then coaching with the Coulee Region Chill, was impressed by Santopoalo at the time and considered him a player to follow for the future.
After scoring 33 goals and 33 assists last season, Santopoalo has picked up his production this year as the right wing on the NA3HL's most dangerous line. Through 14 games, Santopoalo has 15 goals and 22 assists to lead the league in scoring while helping North Iowa overpower opponents by a combined 94-27 margin.
Matt Kroska, a 20-year-old from Elko, Minn. who led the Bulls in the scoring the last two seasons, centers the line that also includes Richie Marenis, from Latvia. Marenis is tied for third in the league with 33 points. Kroska leads the NA3HL with 25 assists has 32 total points.
"I couldn't ask for two better line mates," Santopoalo said. "All the guys who came back from last year's team are just awesome."
Playing with that group, the 5-foot-7, 160-pound Santopoalo continues to impress Sanden.
"The word that comes to mind with Tim Santopoalo is crafty," Sanden said. "He changes the speed of the game from fast to slow, from slow to quick. He just has an uncanny knack of making people miss him on hits.
"He understands the time and space of the game and gives himself an opportunity every time he has the puck to create plays."
Santopoalo said that patience is something that has developed naturally in his game and is not something he is aware of other than noticing it when studying film.
"I feel like I've always played the same," he said.
With Santopoalo leading the way, the North Iowa Bulls are looking the same — or even better — than they did a year ago.

Drivers: Who Needs Costly, Embedded Navigation Systems When We Have Mobile Apps?
Tiffany Kaiser

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Automakers are shifting from $2000 nav systems to smartphone-connected methods
Mobile devices like smartphones and tablets have posed serious threats to many different industries. For instance, many people don't bother with landlines because of their smartphones; some gamers have stopped paying for expensive consoles/games and opted for game apps, and those who don't want to make a trip to the bookstore can download the entire thing on their device right from home.
Now, the auto industry's dashboard navigation systems are seeing mobile applications as a threat to their profitable business as well. Many automakers offer pricey embedded navigation systems that run anywhere from $500 to $2,000. Navigation apps found in app stores for the iPhone,
Android-powered smartphones
, Windows Phones, etc. typically cost a few bucks, or are even free.
Which do you think consumers are going to opt for?
auto navigation systems
offer beautiful graphics and larger screens, they have their faults. Aside from expensive prices, a lot of these systems run on pre-made DVDs instead of the Internet. This means that they don't run real-time updates, and to have this software updated means a time-consuming trip to the dealership.
Mobile apps, on the other hand, are cheap (or free) and are Web-based -- meaning that any changes to your surroundings while driving will be updated almost immediately.
Tim Nixon, chief technology officer of General Motors' OnStar service, noticed his son using a suction cup to stick his iPhone to the windshield while he used a free maps app. Ouch.
This has led GM to consider a new model: a $50 map application for iPhones, which will display directions on the dashboard touchscreen of a Chevrolet Spark.
"We've historically had these on-board, embedded nav systems," Nixon said. "That's just not going to cut it anymore. The game has changed and the bar has been raised by these always-connected devices that bring fresh information into the car."
It looks like other automakers are looking to make their navigation systems compatible with smartphones, too. Ford said that smartphones and navigation systems alone aren't "perfect solutions," but together, they could be.
An undisclosed Japanese automaker has even
paired with Waze
, which is a free social GPS app that has turn-by-turn navigation to help drivers avoid traffic, and is also a community-driven application that draws information from drivers ahead of you, and even learns from users' driving times to provide routing and real-time traffic updates. It was acquired by Google last month for $1.3 billion.
Ventures like the one with Waze could one day lead to technology where car systems will report weather to the app based on usage of windshield wipers and other features.
Automakers should probably start taking the mobile devices seriously, since J.D. Power reported that 47 percent of drivers used a map app on their mobile phone last year -- which is an increase from 37 percent in 2011. Also, 46 percent of car owners with an embedded navigation system said they wouldn't buy one again if their smartphone app could be synced with their dashboard displays.

The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Signal Transduction By Engineered Extracellular Matrices was established in 2000 and has become the premier meeting at the intersection of bioengineering and stem cell biology. The 2012 meeting, to be held July 8-13 at the University of New England in Biddeford, ME, highlights another important dimension - applications of stem cell/engineered matrix constructs to human clinical therapy. The main objective of the conference will be to share the newest knowledge from research on: the development and regulation of cellular microenvironments; the control of cell function by engineered microenvironments; dynamic tracking of cell fate in vivo; and application of such insights to the development and optimization of human clinical therapies for tissue repair and regeneration. This meeting necessarily brings together researchers in diverse fields of stem cell and developmental biology, chemistry, bioimaging and engineering for both the understanding of cellular function and how this can be harnessed for the repair and replacement of tissues lost or damaged due to disease or injury. Lively discussion sessions will include well-established leaders in the field, as well as emerging young investigators. The meeting also includes highly interactive poster sessions, and some poster presenters will be selected for short talks. The collegial atmosphere of the Conference affords ample opportunity for informal gatherings in the afternoons and evenings, which provides an avenue for scientists from different disciplines in both industry and academia to brainstorm, network and establish new cross-disciplinary collaborations in this dynamic area of research at the interface of biology and engineering.
As initiated in 2010, the main Conference in 2012 will be preceded by a weekend meeting planned by and for pre-doctoral and post-doctoral trainees. This pre-meeting, the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS), provides a forum for future leaders in this growing interdisciplinary field to present their work in talks and posters in a highly interactive environment that fosters creativity and collaboration.

A young woman walks into a laboratory. Over the past two years, she has transformed almost every aspect of her life. She has quit smoking, run a marathon, and been promoted at work. The patterns inside her brain, neurologists discover, have fundamentally changed.
Marketers at Procter & Gamble study videos of people making their beds. They are desperately trying to figure out how to sell a new product called Febreze, on track to be one of the biggest flops in company history. Suddenly, one of them detects a nearly imperceptible pattern—and with a slight shift in advertising, Febreze goes on to earn a billion dollars a year.
An untested CEO takes over one of the largest companies in America. His first order of business is attacking a single pattern among his employees—how they approach worker safety—and soon the firm, Alcoa, becomes the top performer in the Dow Jones.
What do all these people have in common? They achieved success by focusing on the patterns that shape every aspect of our lives.
They succeeded by transforming habits.
In The Power of Habit, award-winning New York Times business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. With penetrating intelligence and an ability to distill vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives, Duhigg brings to life a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential for transformation.
Along the way we learn why some people and companies struggle to change, despite years of trying, while others seem to remake themselves overnight. We visit laboratories where neuroscientists explore how habits work and where, exactly, they reside in our brains. We discover how the right habits were crucial to the success of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, and civil-rights hero Martin Luther King, Jr. We go inside Procter & Gamble, Target superstores, Rick Warren's Saddleback Church, NFL locker rooms, and the nation's largest hospitals and see how implementing so-called keystone habits can earn billions and mean the difference between failure and success, life and death.
At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding how habits work.
Habits aren't destiny. As Charles Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.

NEW YORK -- The New York Mets are beginning to put their awful start behind them.
Kaz Matsui hit a tiebreaking single with two outs to key another eighth-inning comeback, and New York won its home opener by beating the Houston Astros 8-4 on Monday.
Matsui also drove in a run with a bunt single, Tom Glavine threw six solid innings and Jose Reyes used his speed to send the Mets to their second consecutive victory after opening 0-5.
"I had a good sense that coming home with the crowd rooting for us this would happen," rookie manager Willie Randolph said. "We got some tough breaks the first three or four games, a little bloop here, a break there. That's all passed."
Morgan Ensberg had three hits and an RBI for Houston, which had won four in a row after an opening day loss to St. Louis.
With the Mets trailing 4-3 in the eighth, Victor Diaz drew a one-out walk from Russ Springer (0-1) and went to third on a single by pinch-hitter Marlon Anderson.
Reyes then hit a comebacker to Springer, who tried for an inning-ending double play -- as manager Phil Garner instructed during a visit to the mound -- instead of holding the runner at third.
Anderson took out shortstop Adam Everett, and Reyes easily beat the wild throw to first as Diaz scored the tying run.
"Ninety percent of the guys you're going to double up, but he gets down the line," Springer said. "That was just one of those ugly innings."
Reyes stole second on the next pitch and scored on Matsui's single to center.
After an intentional walk to Carlos Beltran, Ramon Castro hit a popup to shallow right and the ball dropped when second baseman Craig Biggio and right fielder Jason Lane collided.
Lane said Biggio couldn't hear him calling for the ball because of all the noise from the sellout crowd of 53,663. Lane was charged with an error, allowing another run to score.
Cliff Floyd followed with a two-run single off ex-Met John Franco, making it 8-4.
Roberto Hernandez (1-0) got the win. He entered with a runner on second and none out in the eighth and prevented further damage.
"That's the way I like to win, the way I envision it," Randolph said. "Stick to it. Be aggressive. It was a nice win, coming home. You try to formulate a mind-set, an attitude, guys taking the extra bases, Matsui executing a beautiful bunt.
"This is the kind of team I'd like us to be and I felt in my heart we could be. You take a deep breath and say let's play ball," he said.
An RBI double by pinch-hitter Jose Vizcaino off Dae-Sung Koo in the top of the eighth put Houston ahead 4-3. Ensberg started the inning with a double and scored on Lane's tying triple off Manny Aybar.
Everett cut New York's lead to 3-2 with an RBI single off Aybar in the seventh after Orlando Palmeiro's triple.
The Mets were coming off their first win of the season, an energizing 6-1 victory Sunday in Atlanta behind Pedro Martinez's two-hitter and Beltran's go-ahead homer in the eighth.
"The last two days this team showed a lot of heart," reliever Braden Looper said.
New York went up 3-1 in the sixth by scratching out three runs against Andy Pettitte without hitting the ball hard.
Diaz tied it with a looping RBI single to right -- Lane might have been able to make the play but he first broke back on the ball.
Pinch-hitter Miguel Cairo drove in the go-ahead run with a bloop single, and Matsui's bunt single made it 3-1.
"We can do these type of things. The game is so unpredictable. You put together all our hits today, they wouldn't reach the wall," Floyd said. "There's no reason to doubt ourselves. We knew we'd go through some downers in the season. You put that behind you."
Ensberg's two-out RBI double off the right-field wall gave Houston the lead in the first.
Pettitte heard plenty of boos in his return to New York. The left-hander pitched nine seasons for the Yankees from 1995-03 and helped them win four World Series titles.
He allowed three runs and nine hits in 5 1/3 innings.
"I pitch in and I give up a lot of broken-bat singles and stuff like that," Pettitte said. "Just frustrating. I didn't want to come out of the game."
Glavine was much better than his previous start, when he lasted only 3 2/3 innings in Cincinnati. He gave up one run and four hits, striking out six.
The left-hander still has not lost to Houston since June 4, 1995, with Atlanta. He has won his last 10 decisions against the Astros.
"There's a good chance some time in the year you're going to lose four or five in a row," Glavine said. "To come back the way we did was a good feeling. We feel good about the guys we have in here."
- The Mets improved to 28-14 in home openers at Shea Stadium and 9-2 in their last 11.
- Pettitte and Glavine have 25 postseason wins between them.

3 Easy Ways to Balance Your Diet

Diet Meal Plans
Vegetables and fruits form the foundation of a healthy diet. But you can't live on produce alone. To get all your essential nutrients, you'll also need to eat whole grains, lean protein (fish, lean meat, beans or low-fat dairy foods) and healthy fats, including nuts and olive oil. How much do you need? Balance your diet in three easy steps.
1. Divide your plate.
Does your plate look more like A or B?
Whatever you answered, you should aim to model (or keep modeling) your plate after B. Low-calorie—yet satisfying—vegetables fill half the plate. The other half is divided into two equal portions (quarters). One is filled with a lean protein, the other with a whole-grain or starchy vegetable.

The Creative Lab
What is a Creative Lab??
The Brevard Library Foundation, a non-profit organization that supports Brevard County Public Libraries, is embarking on an ambitious project to establish a Creative Lab in the former film library area on the ground floor of the Central Brevard Library in Cocoa. The Creative Lab will allow people (especially young people) to learn about and execute creative engineering, electronic, music, video, or computer projects.
At the recent Lead Brevard's annual Stakeholders Summit, Dr. Robert P. Scaringe, founder and president of Mainstream Engineering, made an impassioned speech about the need to engender interest in engineering and science among our young people. Not enough of our own students are going into these important and lucrative fields, and his firm is struggling to lure engineers from out of State. The Creative Lab will help to foster that interest and development in engineering, electronics, and the technical arts.
The projected space would be designed to be flexible, accommodating classes and projects involving electronics, video and audio production, and engineering design. There would be a sound-treated studio for music recording, with an adjacent sound engineer station. There would be some small rooms with PCs with video, music, animation, and CAD software, where people could work on projects. Finally, a 3-D printer will be located there, and we'll have classes about how to use it and how to use design software to create three-dimensional objects. This has exciting potential, not only to inspire ideas among the young, but also to be used by inventors and entrepreneurs to create prototypes and actual small parts.
The Lab will be a learning center and users will need some training and oversight. One of the advantages of living in Brevard County is that we have a great depth of talent here to draw from for help. A retired professional sound engineer has already offered to teach classes in sound recording, and the local filmmakers club has offered to teach video production. The Creative Labwill be a true community partnership: funded by donations, supported by the Brevard Library Foundation, and operated by the Brevard County Libraries and community volunteers.
Members of our community have already generously donated a 3-D printer, and much of the other basic equipment needed to supply the lab, but the biggest expense is going to be renovating the space to house the lab. The Brevard Library Foundation, under the guidance of Executive Director Ned Kellar, will be seeking donations to cover the cost of designing and renovating the library's existing space for the lab. Jack Rood, renowned architect, and Brevard Library Foundation member, is advising the Foundation on the Creative Lab design concept. Our hope, once the initial Lab is up and running successfully, is to establish Creative Labs in other large Brevard County libraries, such as Titusville, Melbourne, DeGroodt, and Satellite Beach.
The Brevard County Libraries Creative Lab will not only allow people of all ages to create and make things using technology, but will also inspire young people to pursue the technical and engineering arts, and help develop local talent for high-tech firms and entrepreneurs. It will be a serious contribution to the future success of Brevard County.
Be a part of Brevard's Technical Renaissance—support the Brevard Library Foundation's Creative Lab!

Is there anything more boring than the classic 2 x 20:00 interval workout? We weren't sure we could make it interesting…and then we got our hands on a full year of UCI Pro Women's racing footage from the World Cup. Emma Pooley, Evelyn Stevens, Marianne Vos…the stars are all there in races like the Tour of Flanders and the GP Plouay. And then we hit on the idea of doing an entire stage race – The Tour of Sufferlandria – in one single Sufferfest video. Now, "it gets interesting." Cue evil laugh.
You are a Sufferlandrian. And you're racing for the Sufferlandrian National Team in the Tour of Sufferlandria. You're expected to take the leader's jersey (and a very special jersey it is) over the race, the stages of which are:
The soundtrack for this one is all electronic – seriously pounding dance tracks to keep you motivated right through to the end. We spent a LOT of time to get the tracks for this one right.
Listen to the soundtrack on Spotify
American PRO cyclist Amber Pierce "I just had fun on a trainer."
Beating Limitations "Almost pissed my bike shorts"
GottaRunGottaRide "Badass bitches."
Faster Further Fitter "This ain't no sugar and spice."
Fitness Fatale "Rather than watching nerdy cyclists on trainers, we got to race with the pros"
PV Andersneddon "Fast and Furious – why do they keep attacking? Why?"
Patisseriecyclisme "Racing with Emma Pooley – not an experience we mere mortals get."
Get unlimited access to 37 Sufferfest videos, 20 yoga for cyclists videos, 10 different training plans and more. Train to specific fitness targets by connecting your power meter, HR strap and trainer using real or virtual power. Control your smart trainer. One subscription works across Windows, Mac, iPad and iPhone devices. Try it for free for 7 days. Cancel easily at any time. If you continue, it's just $10 USD/month.

Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and pretty new to duck hunting.
I know there are opinions on both sides of a lot of ethical questions. I tend to take a fairly conservative approach but there are some issues I am not very well educated on yet.
I saw a recent post and discussion on someone shooting ducks off a roost. What is considered a duck roost and what would be the difference between a roost and loafing pond? I assume that when I set up in an area where ducks want to get to that I am on a loafing pond? Understanding that shooting birds on their roost could push them out of an area I would prefer to avoid it but need to understand it better? Thanks for the insights in advance.

Posted by Thomas Husson on the B2C Marketing Professionals Blog on March 22, 2016
I quite like this provocative sausage dog picture because it forces marketers to think differently about responsive web design (RWD). More often than not, marketers scale content down to fit a smaller screen; because they then claim that they use RWD and have some mobile apps, they think they have checked the mobile box. In fact, RWD was by far the most common tactic that marketers were using or planning to use in 2015: Only 9% of marketers we surveyed are not planning to use it. When fully implemented, RWD can improve the user experience, but more often than not, it's implemented as a quick fix to the problem of multiple screen sizes. It often prevents marketers from thinking about the need to contextualize offerings for different devices. Customers do not necessarily want the same content across all their screens. However, a scarily high percentage of marketers we surveyed — 47% — admit their mobile services are primarily a scaled-down version of their PC services. In short:
Posted by Thomas Husson on the B2C Marketing Professionals Blog on May 17, 2013
My colleague Reineke Reitsma recently published a blog on the limited but growing uptake of QR/2D barcodes.
Let's face reality. Usage is low and marketing execution is poor to date, with too many campaigns that lack a clear consumer benefit and that provide a bad user experience by not offering mobile-optimized content. Today, mobile bar codes are an interesting tactic to engage with early adopters.
However, moving forward, we expect QR codes to gain traction and to be increasingly mixed with other technologies (including radio technologies like NFC) to provide extended product packaging solutions. Bar codes do not have to be just cold, emotionless, black-and-white squares. Solutions now exist to personalize QR codes' designs and seamlessly mix them into a logo or band chart – even merging QR codes and NFC tags, as in the example below from mobiLead solutions.
The 2D bar code market will follow the same path as the 1D bar code market: fulfilling the need for certified and scalable platforms dealing with millions of standard code generation. Mobile bar code vendors will have to move into scalable mobile engagement platforms, progressively integrating multiple access technologies, such as Near Field Communications (NFC) tags, image recognition, or audio tags such as Shazam, and offering deep analytical tools. Beyond the emerging role of 2D bar codes in sales, we expect a growing number of brands — especially in the nutrition and health space — to systematize the use of bar codes on product packaging. Consumers want access to more product information, and brands can leverage mobile technologies to create a consumer relationship.

94 chevy truck maybe dist./ignition problem,please help!
HI everyone my name is Jesse and I am new to posting on this site,so bear with me,
I have a '94 chevy truck with a 350 in it. I have installed an msd 6a ignition and corresponding blaster coil. they have functioned fine for a long time probably 20-30.000 miles.I recently had a blown head gasket and so I tore the motor down to the short block and as I replaced the head gasket I also put a comp cams cam in it,along with the correct valve springs and new comp cams lifters.I got the truck all back together and it ran pretty good for about 600 miles or so,just a little rough,like I had a bad plug wire or something.
The other night I headed out for the eavining and I made it about 5 miles or so and the truck began to cut in and out about 4 or 5 times then it died and it has been dead in the water for two days now.I suspect the ditributor maybe because I have replaced the coil, the rotor button and cap and I have also ran through the testing procedure outlined by msd for the 6a ignition and it tested out ok so my problems must be elsewhere. In addition the tach was acting really wierd, jumping and bouncing and going up and down randomly obviously not in sync with the engine rpm.
I smell fuel and I don't think it is a fuel problem.I already had the fuel pump go out and it acted differently when that happenend. This is a very abrupt cut out like sombody just pulled the plug on me and the truck will not fire now at all. Has anyone ever had this problem before ? Any Ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.....Jesse

Painting cira 80"s rough interior trim
I am getting ready to tackle all of the wood trim in our condo. It looks like it could be cedar but I am not sure. It has never been stained or trated since the condo was built. It is rough and ugly. I am not ready to replace all of the trim yet, but I can't stand the dark trim around everything. The wood is so rough it will give you splinters. I am at a loss to where to begin. Do I try a little sanding, or just go for priming it. I am guessing I should use a oil base primer for this. Any help or suggestions would be helpful. My Dad tough me so much, but this gal has not tackled any wood trim that is as ugly as this is.
Cedar is usually not used as interior trim- Can you take a pic and show us?
( Might have to host it and link..)
If you whole condo/home is this way, please do yourself a favor and do one room or two if you are ambitious at a time. You will first need to sand down the trim, give it a coat of an oil primer, and sand again prior to even thinking about a finish coat. Anytime you sand between coats it is just as important to clean off the dust as the actual putting on of the paint
Now that I think about it, putting in new factory primed trim does not sound so bad. I understanding wanting to save the old, but when you look at the trim and all the little in's and out's that you have to sand, prime, and possibly sand and prime again to make it RIGHT, putting in new makes sense to me. Dollars are one thing, getting it to where you want it to be are on a different plane.
Please let the other contributors on the forum know what your final hope is, that way you will get better information. Good Luck
I would use Zinsser BIN shellac based primer, for two reasons. If it is bleeding wood, you'll be covered. Secondly, it will help encapsulate the roughness better than oil and leave a smoother finish. I would first run some 80 weight sandpaper over the whole surface. Dust it off well, then prime.
is this a rustic look in your condo. ruff sawed lumber ? if it is your talking bout belt sander obertal sander type prep.with out seeing a pitcher im only guessing . you can paint over rustic trim ,zinnzer cover stain oil primer then 2 coats latex semi or satin

Some major points to consider:
1) Really good marine use foul weather gear will have things like fleece lined high collars and heavy duty hoods to take the spray and rain and keep it off your face and neck.
2) The marine gear has retro-reflective patches, which make the people far easier to spot, especially in a MOB situation at night. Regular foul weather gear is generally not as heavy-duty, chafe resistant, or waterproof as marine use foul weather gear.
3) Marine use gear also generally has dual sealing cuffs on the sleeves that will allow you to raise your arms but prevent water from coming down the sleeves when you do so.
4) The pockets on most marine foul weather gear is fleece lined for warmth. The jackets are probably better ventilated for the wetter environment than standard gear.
5) Regular foul weather gear also doesn't come with the choice of an integrated safety harness, which is available on many of the marine specific foul weather gear.
This is one instance where the stuff you get for the marine specific use is really far superior IMHO to the stuff that you get at Lands End.
If you're only going out day sailing in fair weather, then it really won't matter...but if you're planning on doing any real sailing, then it will make a huge difference in your ability to stay warm, dry and comfortable. Getting soaked and staying wet, on a long passage, is a good way to get hypothermia and make stupid mistakes that can cost you your life. It is also uncomfortable and miserable.
The velcro around the wrists is nice but really doesn't keep the water out like a proper latex or ureathane cuff does. If it s raining or you have the boat heeled over, and water splashing into the cockpit, you will quickly get very cold if you have water coming into the jacket via the sleeves. I've worn my Musto jacket when it was snowing and freezing rain and not had a problem with being wet. I think that it is worth investing in decent foul weather gear that has the appropriate design features for a marine environment—like retro-reflective patches, water-tight cuffs, etc.
Marine foul weather gear, layered properly with fleece and such, you can stay fairly warm in even the worst conditions—provided you can stay dry. Water wicks heat away from the body 25x more efficiently than does air. Staying dry in cold weather sailing is the only option.
Foul Weather Gear
Hi I'm new to the sport of sailing. I just picked it up this summer and I'm loving it. I live in Michigan and hope to keep sailing through October. I've been sailing JY-15s and Lasers. The weather will start getting pretty cold in a month or so and I'd like to be prepared. I'm wondering what you suggest? Do I need just a jacket, pants, fleece? A wetsuit? I have no idea what would be best. If you could suggest brands that would be helpful too. I'm not looking to spend a ton of money, but I'd much rather spend a little extra now on quality then have to buy something every season or two. I already have a Marmot Precipe Jacket, I use for backpacking, camping, etc. The thing is super water proof and breathable, but I'm not so sure how well the velcro around my wrists will hold out the water. What do you think about something like this? I recognize it's not marine gear, but would it work? Thanks for your help.

Wilson's Creek National Battlefield [MO] is commemorating its 150th anniversary this year - but defense officials say the civil war battleground offers timeless lessons in geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) -lessons that can be applied today. ...[NGA] Agents spend three days at the battlefield and almost like a Monday morning quarterback - they ask how things would be different if armies then had this kind of technology.
Dr. Charlette "Cookie" Watkins, a Director at the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, spoke to Defence IQ about the power of GIS and social media.
The idea of using social networks of geospatial enthusiasts to assess large areas of the earth for academic reasons has huge potential in the future. The recent example that comes to mind is the National Geographic sponsored event to find Genghis Khan's tomb using commercial satellite imagery and an army of geospatial volunteers on the internet. They had a virtual workforce that could be quickly trained to look for and identify simple clues that more experienced analysts could take a deeper look at. This is only a glimpse of the power of the social environment of the internet.
Currently, two [NGA] Geospatial Analysts from Stuttgart, Germany are mapping out the terrain for African Lion 2012 in southern Morocco. AL-12 is a bi-lateral exercise between U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Africa, the Utah National Guard, and the Kingdom of Morocco. It's the 8th annual African Lion exercise in the country.
The 10-day exercise includes ground, amphibious and aerial training for approximately 800 Marines, 400 Army Reservists and 900 Moroccan military. It's spread across four geographically varied locations, to include flat deserts, vast mountain ranges, and miles and miles of coastline.

SWF Collaborates with TCA for the'Living Room Project' at the MCAJan 29 2015
On the last Saturday of every month, The Teen Creative Agency (TCA) hosts The Living Room, an on-site intimate, eclectic gathering for contemporary conversations, performances, and activites at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA). The TCA is comprised of 25 curious, creative, committed youth who work on projects to transform select spaces within the museum interactivity. Last October, TCA visited both the Aquaponics Center and the Think-Do House at the Perry Ave Community Farm expressing interest in collaborating in The MYCELIA Project. This month, TCA invited Executive Director, Emmanuel Pratt, and the team from Sweet Water Foundation as their featured guests to collaborate on a pop-up mini-aquaponics installation in the lobby of the MCA as a way to engage MCA patrons and guests in an intimate and heart-felt conversation about community, art, engagement, sustainability, and social practice.
Aquaponics as ArtJan 21 2014
This past Friday, Sweet Water Foundation co-hosted the gallery opening of the "Water" exhibit at Arts@Large's gallery space on the south side of Milwaukee. The "Water" exhibit features the work of 3rd grade students from Milwaukee Environmental Sciences and 7th and 8th grade students from Fernwood Montessori School, who each built small aquaponics systems at their schools with support from Sweet Water Foundation.
See the photos below, as the students proudly displayed their aquaponics systems to gallery visitors on Friday evening, and gave a formal presentation as well, explaining the details of how aquaponics works, and what they learned from building these systems. Hats off to the students from Milwaukee Environmental Sciences and Fernwood Montessori School for their excellent work!
The "Water" exhibit will be on display through the month of April, so please visit the Arts@Large gallery at 908 S 5th St, Milwaukee, WI during their open hours to check it out.
Building a Better BronzevilleOct 23 2012
Centers for New Horizons, a community development agency assisting children and families in Chicago's Bronzeville and Riverdale communities of Chicago's South Side, is partnering with Sweet Water and community liaisons and educators to bring aquaponics and urban agriculture into local schools in Bronzeville.
Historically, many African Americans moving north in the Great Migration settled in Bronzeville, which became the vibrant community known as The Black Metropolis, home to prominent entrepreneurs, musicians, writers, leaders, and businessmen in the early 20th century. Bronzeville subsequently went through decades of disinvestment, compounded by the construction of miles of concentrated public housing projects in the 1950s, including the infamous Robert Taylor Homes, which have since been demolished. Even before the beginning of reinvestment in Bronzeville, Centers for New Horizons has been operating since 1971, focusing on community collaborations to bring about positive change through a number of different programs.
Sweet Water's partnership will involve multiple schools in Bronzeville: Jackie Robinson Elementary, Wells Prep Academy, which runs through 8th grade, and Dunbar Career Academy High School. On Tuesday, Oct. 16, 3rd grade students from Jackie Robinson and middle school students from Wells Prep attended a tour at the Chicago State Aquaponics facility, with Sweet Water Executive Director Emmanuel Pratt and CSU Aquaponics Club member Drew Hines.
The next day, students, parents, teachers, and community representatives met to record interviews that were compiled by Vocalo, a Chicago area station that is the self-proclaimed "cool kid sister" to Chicago's Public Radio station, WBEZ 91.5 FM and seeks to connect with a "younger, culturally diverse audience." The interview was conducted in a classroom at Jackie Robinson Elementary, where Sweet Water has recently installed a mini aquaponics unit, constructed by Dennis Muhammed. Jason Axt constructed and installed the system at Wells Prep Academy and is currently developing the system for Dunbar Career Academy High School. During the interview at Jackie Robinson, students shared their reflections about aquaponics and their recent visit to the Chicago State Aquaponics Center.
This past Monday, Vocalo Morning AMp hosts Brian Babylon and Molly Adams shared recordings from these interviews accompanied by a panel discussion with the lead architects of this partnership, including Sweet Water's Emmanuel Pratt, John Owens, the Director of Community Building for Centers for New Horizons, and Lorenzo Young, a community representative from the local school council who previously taught at Jackie Robinson. The words of these students as well as the commentary about the vision of what aquaponics might bring to this community represent Sweet Water's vision for building resilient 21st century communities. Please listen to the interview and share with anyone who might be interested in what Sweet Water is doing in Chicago and Milwaukee schools!
SW & National Organization of Minority ArchitectsOct 19 2012
This weekend, Executive Director Emmanuel Pratt will be serving as a judge in the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA) Student Design Competition in Detroit on Saturday October 20. Students participating in the design challenge, Urban [space] US12… Idea Center, are charged with studying underutilized land in Southwest Detroit for developing new Urban Spaces. These new urban spaces should "preserve and enhance the existing sites and community [and] reflect on the historic significance of the neighborhood," while designing a cohesive urban planning scheme which incorporates elements from the Greening of Detroit Initiative and designing an "Idea Center," serving as a "nucleus for education and information focusing on holistic and healthy living." This focus on social, economic, and environmental objectives is well-aligned with Sweet Water's mission to educate for resilient 21st century communities through sustainable urban agriculture.
Participation as a judge in this design competition was built on a successful program run at Chicago State (CSU) with the Illinois chapter of NOMA this past summer. Designed for aspiring architects, this day-long seminar on urban agriculture, aquaponics, and the intersection with architecture covered background on repurposing industrial spaces and employed different drawing techniques through a design charette. The conclusion of the program involved the construction of raised garden beds and presentations of designs.
Both collaborations with NOMA are examples of using a complex multidisciplinary approach through architecture to revitalize urban spaces. Sweet Water approaches this mission by reaching out through like-minded organizations tackling similar issues.
Professional Development Initiatives at SWFOct 16 2012
Sweet Water Foundation has begun their fall professional development course for educators in the Milwaukee area who aim to introduce aquaponics in their classrooms this year. Five weekly training sessions, will walk participants through the process of designing, building, and maintaining an aquaponics system, and will be a forum to discuss curriculum connections as well. Sweet Water plans to offer similar courses in the future in both Milwaukee and Chicago. Please let us know if you would like to be on a list to receive information about future trainings.
Sweet Water Foundation plans to expand on successful involvement with teachers and schools in both Milwaukee and Chicago. In the past, Sweet Water has been involved in numerous initiatives to equip teachers with the skills and knowledge to implement successful aquaponics lessons to support STEM curriculum and engage students through hands-on experimentation. Sweet Water is collaborating with Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) on their Professional Learning Community (PLC) supporting instruction of various STEM disciplines through urban agriculture and aquaponics. The Urban School Aquaponics PLC is funded by MPS and is an extension of the Urban School Aquaponics (USA) initiative, funded from 2009-2012 by a grant sponsored by NEA Foundation and AT&T Foundation. It will also build on work done by the Milwaukee Teacher Education Center (MTEC) and Sweet Water Foundation conducting teacher training and coaching teachers as part of the Midwest Aquaponics Expertise Development Initiative (MAEDI), funded by USDA. Teachers from a variety of content areas were trained in aquaponics and designed lessons which were delivered to students during the 2011-2012 school year.
This past summer, with a grant from the NEA Foundation, Education Coordinator Jill Frey and Milwaukee City Director, Jesse Blom, compiled a book of lesson plans written by teachers participating in both MAEDI and USA training initiatives. This booklet will serve as a guide to potential curriculum connections for teachers starting up with aquaponics in their classrooms.
In the future, Sweet Water's digital platform AQUAPONS, currently in development, will serve to extend and connect these local initiatives to a wider scope. AQUAPONS will connect teachers, students, and independent learners to a growing international network. Sharing information about best practices in the field of aquaponics will strengthen and extend the initial work of educators, Sweet Water, and their partners in Milwaukee and Chicago.
Aquaponics in the Classroom EventOct 10 2012
In less than three years, interest in our education programming has expanded exponentially. Through all of the various forms, we have reached approximately 100 schools at every level of the education pipeline. A crucial component of our process has been connecting teachers and students from different schools practicing aquaponics, facilitating information exchange and generating new ideas. Last May, Sweet Water in Milwaukee coordinated an Aquaponics in the Classroom showcase event, or "harvest celebration," where students and teachers presented their aquaponic designs and models, spoke of challenges and successes, and ate salads harvested from aquaponic systems. The feedback from this showcase encourages us to repeat this event annually or even biannually with our growing list of schools and partners.
We were really inspired by the enthusiasm and creativity of these students in design, construction, and presentation of their systems. As we kick off another year working with inspiration young people in Milwaukee and Chicago, we are excited to uncover what the new school year will bring!
Newman's Own Foundation Renews Seed to Table GrantOct 05 2012
Sweet Water has been involved in many types of projects; however, the cornerstone of our programming has been working with teachers to engage students in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) disciplines, and extending this impact to their lives outside of the classroom. This programming involves, tours, workshops on composting and aquaponics, classroom visits, and construction of aquaponics systems, which may be small displays or occupy an entire greenhouse. Sweet Water seeks to provide this programming to all students, working to lower costs by incorporating in-kind donations and seeking additional funding when necessary.
In 2011, Sweet Water successfully piloted the Seed to Table program, funded by a $5000 donation from Newman's Own Foundation, at Loyola Academy, a small school on the South Side of Milwaukee serving at-risk urban youth. The program involved construction of an aquaponic system inside a greenhouse on school property, and engaged 20 students through the process of growing healthy food from seed to harvest, including tilapia and a variety of vegetables both in garden beds and aquaponic systems. The program was enormously successful as a summer school program, followed by a class during the fall semester, and has been the basis for many school projects since.
We were thrilled when the Newman's Own Foundation granted us additional funding this month to fully support 3 additional schools into the Seed to Table Program throughout the 2012-2013 school year. Sweet Water Foundation will use the funding to support Bradley Tech High School and South Division High School in Milwaukee, as well as Lindblom Math and Science Academy in Chicago. The full range of programming includes tours, workshops, materials, labor and coaching throughout the process of aquaponic system construction. Some funds will be used to cover further outreach in Milwaukee and Chicago and Newman's Own has already indicated that they will be following up with identical support throughout the 2012-2013 school year.
We are tremendously grateful to Newman's Own for funding Sweet Water to work with these schools. As we continue to build on past successes and scale up our operation to provide additional programming, both face-to-face and digitally, we hope to gain the financial assistance necessary to provide scholarships to all schools requesting support to pursue aquaponics projects in the future.
Summer Interns: ChicagoAug 15 2012
Three CPS students from the Calumet Is My Back Yard environmental stewardship service-learning program were funded by the Summer Youth Employment program of Chicago Public Schools and were hosted by Emmanuel Pratt, Executive director of Sweet Water and Head of Aquaponics at Chicago State University (CSU), along with members of the Aquaponics club at CSU and Sweet Water associates. Students worked for 20 hours per week from July 2nd through August 10th. Interns learned the principles behind aquaponics and were trained in various aspects of system design and maintenance, for both aquaponic systems and traditional garden beds. Their journals and final Powerpoint presentation document their process of mixing soil, seeding, reflection, journaling, cleaning pots, caring for plants, watering, transplanting, cleaning grow beds, and building a small-scale aquaponic system.
This was one of many programs run this summer, allowing students and youth from different programs to work together along with staff and mentors of varying experience and backgrounds. We hope to accommodate a larger group of interns in future summers.
Aquaponics at Rufus King HSFeb 29 2012
Sweet Water Foundation strives to educate students through the integration of aquaponics into school curriculum. Sweet Water Foundation's programs guide students not only through the construction of an aquaponics system, but also through capturing their experience via art, video, writing, and community engagement.
Students at Rufus King High School, in Milwaukee, WI, over the last year has worked with Sweet Water Foundation to build a fully functioning green house. Students documented their experiences, and have uploaded them onto youtube in order to engage the greater Milwaukee community.

i cant wait to try out my sadida
And level 129 set O.O
WAKFU Update: Chillberg right ahead! Info - 2013-04-12 15:00Back to list
Discover the new content that will be implemented with the update of April 16!
Today, we reveal the first part of the new content that will arrive on the game on April 16.
The second part describing additional improvements and bug fixes will be communicated in the coming days.
Until then, don't hesitate to read or reread the devblogs and videos talking about this new island:
- First mention in the AFK #7
- First stories of Chillberg Island by RyF
- Developers' Diary with Azael and Fhenris answering the main questions
Additionally to the main quest on the island, for which you will have to explore every corner of the frozen lands, a new dungeon will open every week.
These dungeons host unknown and dangerous creatures, all answering to the Utmost Evil… Who are these villains? Where does this island come from? Who's waiting on top of the Harebourg Tower? No one knows… Yet…
Get ready to learn more, be surprised, and discover this new adventure island in game!
Progression will work exactly the same way as for other levels, which means that you'll get to improve your character a bit more!
Spells will still have a level cap of 100, and you will get 5 abilities points and 5 specialty points per level.
These 10 additional levels should help you gather the amazing rewards waiting for you, such as complete sets of level 129!
- Sadida
- Ecaflip
You can already read the devblog listing the main changes brought to these two classes.
For the occasion, we will also give a Respec to all characters, even other classes.
More revamps will be implemented in the next update.
Our first goal is to improve your accessibility to the game economy, offer a short-term reward to everyone in order to help the feeling of progression and reward after each fight, but also improve granularity of the economy. Currently there are too few variations in the cost of items sold by the players: Thistles or Piwi capes (and many more important items) are sold for 1 Kama despite a very different value.
That's why you will now receive Kamas at the end of your fights and when completing quests.
All the explanation can be found in the devblog written by Azael, here.
To summarize:
- Each monster you defeat will reward you with Kamas, depending on its level (we made sure however that high level characters cannot "farm" low level monsters). Note that only the living members of the group will receive Kamas. Contrary to what was first announed, there will not be any Kama "bonuses",
- The Kamas recipes will be modified in order to provide more Kamas,
- The existing Kamas will be multiplied by 30 (chests, inventories, display windows, nation treasuries, etc.),
- The Token system will no longer exist. You will no longer receive tokens. The challenge machines will stay in game for you to use your remaining Bronze Tokens, but Dungeon machines will be removed. Note that your tokens will not be replaced with Kamas directly (contrary to what was communicated earlier). They will remain in your inventory until we fix a fair exchange rate, that should be implemented in the following update.
- Achievement rewards will no longer be tokens. Quests will offer Kamas and achievements will only be used to measure the progression of the character in the game,
- Troll Fair attractions will cost Kamas (5 to 15 Kamas) instead of Bronze Tokens.
And as you will see, there are many changes with this new version.
To summarize:
- Wider range of items that can receive runes: all capes and breastplates from level 0 to 49, all equipment from level 51 to 99 (except rings, amulets, shoulders and belts) and all equipment over level 100. Pets, Makabras and Insignias will not have any rune slots,
- Runes can now be created with powder that can be obtained by destroying equipment in the Rune Recyclers. The rarer the item destroyed, the more powder you will get, and of a better quality.
- Rune Recyclers are now be located on the trade bridges of each Nation next to the Marketplaces, and be usable by everyone. We will also add a consumable in the Boutique allowing you to destroy equipment without using the Recycler.
- All runes will become "generic". Their bonus and strength will depend on the quality and decided when the rune is slotted in the item,
- The rune will have to be of a higher level than the item in order to be slotted,
- It will be possible to merge 2 identical runes in order to improve their level and rarity,
- In order to remove the last rune slotted you will have to destroy it as well as a second item identical to the one with the rune. You can perform this action in the Recycler or with a consumable item allowing you to do so without need to destroy an additional item. This item can be dropped by monsters or purchased in the Boutique,
- A profession box will be added for your runes. It can be crafted by Handymen.
All explanations can be found on this devblog written by Grou.
With the new Kama system, it was necessary to rebalance the cost of the transports: they will all increase. For example, Zaaps will now cost 100 Kamas.
Drago-Express however will stay free!
With your Single-Use Shovels, travel to the last areas of the 4 Nations in search of the Privateers.
With a bit of luck you may find a scroll with a riddle indicating the location of a hidden treasure! If you're not too much of a Iop, you may be able to dig something of worth there…
Capt'n Chafer tells you more in this devblog!
Don't forget that a part of the Gazette is now here just for you! Have a small announcement to share? A slogan or false advertising for us? Send your ideas to your Community Manager, we will retain the funniest for publication in the next gazette!

x30 kama now? Little sad that only sadida and eca are getting revamped this patch =(
kobashii 12 April 2013 15:22
hmm zapps 100k, Man i tell ya getting the runes you want on equips is going to be tedious this will make for alot of dung runs lots of activity. But I fear people will still opt out of the mid lvl ones because in the long run time would be better spent gettin to end game and farmin those dungeons repeatedly to get the right runes you want on gear because as it says to remove you need to sac the same item again! 0.3% is really going to suck now you run a dung 50-60 times to get that item then you cross your fingers hopin for earth resist and bam water resist and your water based nutz! well 50-60 more times and pray that your a water enu and not in a pick up group. But it'll be interesting I guess GL all. Stay warm!
kaiser1777 12 April 2013 15:32
This is very good.
I can see where this is going and it's going to right way.
As for class revamps... work as long as you wish for, but the longer the delay, the better the expectation. Don't let us down please.

Still not happy about removing the tokens. It's like player feedback does not matter at all.
