The White Ferns put in a commanding display to beat England by four wickets and level the five match One-Day International series 1-1 at Taunton.
Suzie Bates took three for 17, debutant Erin Bermingham snared two for 41 and the team completed three run-outs to restrict England to a moderate 208 for nine and then chased down the total with more than two overs to spare.
Coach, Gary Stead, praised the bowling and fielding effort, saying it was a marked improvement from the first match.
"Our bowlers were much more disciplined and the fielding effort showed much more commitment," Stead said. "It is a lightning outfield so we needed to throw ourselves around in the field otherwise it would go to the boundary."
The bulk of England's runs came from Sarah Taylor (66) and Lydia Greenway (40) with the pair putting setting a solid platform but the middle and lower order were unable to capitalise as they lost five wickets for 42 runs.
The White Ferns run chase was led by Suzie Bates who hit seven boundaries in a well paced unbeaten 75 off 107 balls.
Bates received good support from Lucy Doolan (24), Sara McGlashan (28) and Sophie Devine (23).
England pace bowler, Laura Marsh, picked up three for 34, including the wicket of in-form Maria Fahey for 12.
"It was a really pleasing win today," said Stead, "It was important for us to level the series and to improve in all facets of the game and everyone needed to step up from the first match."
"Suzie Bates was outstanding in all disciplines - bowling fielding and her batting, with a very mature knock taking us to victory. "
"It was a well measured run chase and we are looking forward to Derby with confidence," he added.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The visiting Eckerd College Tritons did not have an answer for Arielle Kabangu as the freshman registered her second career hat trick en route to the Saint Leo women's soccer team's 5-0 win on Saturday night.
Kabangu, already making her presence known in the early part of this season, started the scoring when she slotted a pass into the net in the 48th minute and then closed out the game with back-to-back goals in the 77th and 87th minutes respectively.
Sandwiched in between the "Kabangu Show" were goals scored in the 54th minute from Genevieve Gignac, who picked up a Kabangu pass and slotted it home on a beautiful header, and a 61st minute strike from Ari Foreman.
Abby Evans posted a clean sheet as she had two saves and relied on a heavy Saint Leo defensive presence that only allowed the Tritons (5-2) to send three shots toward goal.
Morgan Crescent registered the loss in net for Eckerd as she managed 10 saves.
The Lions take to University Field in just four days when they welcome Nova Southeastern for a region contest. The Lions and Sharks will square off on Wednesday after with kick off scheduled for 5:00 p.m.

It was a season that started and ended in mourning and was marked by dramas, some that will spill into next year.
The death of Melbourne great Jim Stynes from cancer in March meant the year begun amid an outpouring of grief. It ended the same way, after the shock death of Port Adelaide and former Collingwood player John McCarthy in Las Vegas in September.
There were sackings: Richmond's Daniel Connors and St Kilda's Jason Gram. There was the forced resignation of Adelaide recruiter Matt Rendell amid hotly disputed claims of perceived racism.
Crows chief executive Steven Trigg will sit out the first six months of next year and ex-Adelaide forward Kurt Tippett, now with Sydney, the first 11 rounds, after the player, officials and the club were found guilty of draft and salary-cap breaches.
Ongoing investigations into alleged 2009 tanking by the Demons mean that club could also face heavy sanctions.
The Demons also lost forward Liam Jurrah, who was charged with assault over an alleged machete attack in March and faces court in Alice Springs next March.
Amid the dramas, there was some memorable football, most notably on the season's final two weekends, when Hawthorn survived a preliminary final near-upset from Adelaide before being rolled by Sydney in the decider.
Bold recruiting moves have the Swans and Hawks primed to challenge again, Sydney stunning many in the industry by finding the space in their salary cap to swoop on Tippett. But for some of the competition's strugglers, a new year will only bring more pain. Here's a look at what's in store for the 18 clubs:
They've been fined, lost draft picks, had officials suspended and lost Tippett for nothing. Before that, they were the season's surprise packets. Tippett was a key in their preliminary final near-triumph. With Taylor Walker still in attack and a strong midfield, led by Patrick Dangerfield and Scott Thompson, they'll remain a threat next year.
Since their early 2000s golden era, the Lions have played finals once in eight years. But there are reasons for hope. They won six games in the second half of the season. Former Demon Brent Moloney will bolster a midfield boasting young guns Daniel Rich, Tom Rockliff and Jack Redden and evergreen Simon Black. And the expected return of talented young ruckman Matthew Leuenberger will help, too.
Huge expectation surrounds Mick Malthouse's coaching comeback. But high hopes are standard at Carlton and haven't been realised for years. Injuries to many talls, most significantly Jarrad Waite, hurt this year, as did midfield stars Marc Murphy and Chris Judd missing substantial stints. Judd has stepped down as captain and Malthouse wants Bryce Gibbs to have more midfield time.
Veteran ruckman Darren Jolly will shoulder enormous responsibility next season, making Ben Hudson's rookie drafting smart thinking. Injury comebacks by Luke Ball and Lachie Keeffe will be important. Travis Cloke must improve on a modest season. Ex-West Coast big man Quinten Lynch needs to be a better forward-ruckman than Chris Dawes was. Regardless, a star-studded midfield boasting Scott Pendlebury, Dane Swan, Dayne Beams and Dale Thomas means the Magpies remain premiership contenders.
The jury won't judge the Bombers for a long time next year. Their first seven rounds this year were excellent, their mid-season stretch OK and their final seven rounds dire, as soft-tissue injuries galore took a toll, so it's all about staying power next season. Prize recruit Brendon Goddard will ease the heavy load on Brownlow medallist Jobe Watson.
Fremantle would have had excuses for a poor year - a new coach and two of their best players, Nathan Fyfe and Aaron Sandilands, missing for long periods. That they still notched the third finals win in their history augurs well. With more time under Ross Lyon, midfield keys David Mundy and Michael Barlow coming off strong season finishes and speedster Stephen Hill yet to fully tap his huge potential, expect a further Dockers climb.
It's dangerous dismissing the Cats as premiership contenders but, given their meek finals exit, fair enough. Linchpin Matthew Scarlett has retired. Key players Paul Chapman, Joel Corey, Corey Enright and James Podsiadly are over 30. The flipside is the fast-improving Tom Hawkins is already possibly the game's top power forward, while experienced recruits Hamish McIntosh, Jared Rivers and Josh Caddy will help.
Forget Suns chairman John Witheriff's wildly optimistic declaration the Suns will win the flag within three years. There's no guarantee they'll play finals by then. Gary Ablett can't do any more than this season and Harley Bennell showed he is a rising star, but there wasn't much else to inspire confidence. If Michael Rischitelli, David Swallow and Nathan Bock can have better injury runs, the natural development of youngsters should mean rapid improvement, but from a very low base.
They've lost their most marketable figure in Israel Folau, but that won't hurt on field. Budding young key forward Jeremy Cameron had an excellent debut season and last year's No.1 draft pick Jonathon Patton should be ready to provide more support. Former Hawk Stephen Gilham and former Blue Bret Thornton will bolster an inexperienced defence. But while the wooden spooners added another bucketload of potential in November's draft, it's years from being realised.
The recruitment of ex-Western Bulldogs two-time All Australian key defender Brian Lake is a huge coup, fixing the Hawks' biggest weakness and setting them up to start the year as flag favourites. They would be reigning premiers already if not for inaccuracy, having had five more scoring shots than Sydney in the grand final. They still boast enormous attacking potency and a reliable midfield, but would love a bigger year from captain Luke Hodge.
A horror year on and off the field has more pain to deliver, in the form of potential severe tanking penalties. The Demons are trying to rebuild fast, recruiting Collingwood's Chris Dawes to join last year's prize recruit Mitch Clark in attack. They've added the likes of Shannon Byrnes, David Rodan and father-son pick Jack Viney to their midfield. But with Jurrah among some notable departures, another difficult year awaits.
Their first final in four years resulted in a 96-point belting from West Coast. But there were good signs late in the year with classy wins over Essendon and Collingwood. The Roos boast a nice blend of experience and youth, ball-winning ability and pace. Key forwards Robbie Tarrant and Lachie Hansen have emerged to aid Drew Petrie in attack. Much rests with No.1 ruckman Todd Goldstein.
Dealing with the emotional toll of McCarthy's death is not new coach Ken Hinkley's only challenge. The Power have managed just eight wins in two years, the worst two seasons in their history. They're struggling financially and crowd-wise, and lost Troy Chaplin and Ben Jacobs to rivals, although they did snare Essendon's Angus Monfries.
The Tigers have continued their successful strategy of the past two years, recruiting AFL-experienced players - Port backman Troy Chaplin, North Melbourne forward Aaron Edwards and Adelaide's Chris Knights. While Richmond faced off-field issues this year, sacking Connors and suspending Dustin Martin, in new captain Trent Cotchin they have a fine role model.
Nick Riewoldt wanted this year to be his last as Saints captain. But with his most obvious successor, Brendon Goddard, gone, that might change. A worry for the Saints is that their two oldest players, Lenny Hayes and Stephen Milne, were their best and fairest and leading goal-kicker. The Saints have bolstered one problem area, recruiting young Gold Coast ruckman Tom Hickey.
Tippett's signing adds ruck depth, frees star Adam Goodes for more midfield time and lifts pressure from rising star forward Sam Reid. With lightning-quick Lewis Jetta having emerged as a game-breaker, Gary Rohan to return from injury and ball-winning stalwarts Josh Kennedy, Jarrad McVeigh, Ryan O'Keefe and Jude Bolton soldiering on, the Swans can eye another flag.
The Eagles deserve to be battling the Swans and Hawks for premiership favouritism. They reached a semi-final this year despite huge injury handicaps. Mark LeCras and Mark Nicoski didn't play and Josh Kennedy managed just nine games, after that trio combined for 147 goals last year. There's a rock-solid defence and excellent midfield blend. Capping that is the AFL's best ruck double act in Dean Cox and Nic Naitanui.
It's a long haul for the Bulldogs. They lost their last 11 games this season, most by huge margins. They've recruited some discards and bright draft prospects but no one is likely to make a huge difference. Knee problems have made Adam Cooney a shadow of the 2008 Brownlow medallist. Star defender Brian Lake is gone. Dale Morris is coming off injury. Young midfielders Mitch Wallis, Tom Liberatore, Clay Smith and Luke Dahlhaus have shown promise.

Exemptions from Overtime Pay
Overtime laws do not apply to some types of employees. Those employees are known as "exempt," and will not receive overtime pay, even if they work more than their scheduled hours, more than eight hours a day, or more than forty hours a week.
Whether or not you can receive overtime pay usually depends on the kind of work you do. Employees who are exempt from (not covered by) overtime laws usually have a lot of responsibility within a company and have significant input into how that company is run. Some employees are exempt because they work in an industry where work hours are so irregular that calculating overtime would be impossible. You are not exempt just because your employer says you are exempt or because your employer gives you a certain title (for example, "assistant manager"), or pays you in a certain way.
Exemptions from overtime law generally fall into five major categories. All five are described below. You should read through each category to see if any describe the kind of work you do. The definitions of exempt employees are very complex, and you may not be certain if a particular category applies to your work. If you have further questions, you should contact the California Department of Industrial Relations/Division of Labor Standards Enforcement ("Labor Commissioner") in your area for more information.
- Optometry;
- Law (in some circumstances including law school graduates but generally not paralegals);
- Architecture;
- Medicine (does not include nurses);
- Engineering;
- Dentistry (generally does not include dental hygienists);
- Teaching; or
- Accounting (includes only certified public accountants).
- You meet the "salary basis" test noted in #1 above; and
- More than half your time must be spent on work that is "intellectual;" and
- You are regularly allowed to make independent decisions without direct supervision about matters that are important to the company (this means that the work you do is related to important company policy or business decisions); and
- You regularly do work that is "outside the production process".
- You must regularly and directly assist the owner of the company or another manager or administrator.
- You must perform work that requires special training, experience, or knowledge without direct supervision, or with only minimal supervision.
- You must perform special assignments that require you to make decisions that affect the company with only general supervision.
- You meet the salary basis test noted in #1 above; and
- You spend more than half of your time either managing a distinct department or subdivision of the company or doing "managerial" work (managerial work includes doing things like assigning work to other people, supervising work, evaluating other employees, planning work, determining techniques to be used in completing work, keeping records, handling complaints, and controlling the flow of merchandise or supplies); and
- You are regularly allowed to make independent decisions without direct supervision about matters that are important to the company (this means that the work you do is related to important company policy or business decisions); and,
- You directly supervise the work of two or more full-time employees. Supervision of these employees must be part of your regular job duties, and not just something you do when the regular supervisor is not at work; and
- You make recommendations about the hiring and firing of employees, and have enough authority within the company that your recommendations are given serious attention.
- Personal attendants: Live-in employees in private households who care for people are often exempt. (Note: if you spend time less than 80% of your time actually taking care of people, you may not be exempt). This exemption also applies to workers who are employed by an agency and sent to work in private households. .
- Certain agricultural workers: Agricultural workers are not completely exempt from overtime pay, but there are different overtime rules depending on the kind of agricultural work they do. Agricultural workers who handle products after harvest are generally covered by regular overtime laws. Agricultural workers who harvest products are generally must work over 10 hours a day or more than 6 days a week to receive overtime pay.
- Student nurses.
- Certain transportation workers: includes bus drivers, taxi drivers, ambulance drivers who have agreed to 24-hour schedules, and truck drivers who drive trucks over 26,000 pounds within California or trucks over 10,000 pounds that cross state lines.
- Employees who work on commission: Employees whose pay is based primarily on sales and whose pay is a percentage of a product's price are exempt, but only if the employee's earnings are more than 1½ times the minimum wage. As of January 1, 2007, this means the employee must earn at least $11.25 per hour, and as of January 1, 2008 the employee must earn at least $12.00 per hour.
Exemption for Professional Employees
State or federal overtime laws do generally not cover employees who are considered "professional." To be considered a professional employee, you must be licensed or certified in:
You must also spend at least half of your work time performing duties that are typical of your profession.
Finally, you must also meet the "salary basis" test, which means that you also must receive a salary that is at least twice the minimum wage for full time work (as follows: as of January 1, 2016, $3,466.67 per month or $41,600 per year; as of Jan 1, 2017, the salary basis for employers with 26 or more employees will be $3,640 per month or $43,680 per year).
Also, under California state law, you may be considered a professional if you meet the salary basis test noted above and you spend at least half of your hours doing work in a field that is commonly considered a "learned or artistic profession." For your job to be considered "learned or artistic," you must usually have earned a college degree or pursued other paths of intellectual study. Also, your work must be original and creative in character and depend primarily on your own invention, imagination, or talent. Some high-tech and computer industry workers will fall into this category. This exception is very limited, so you should not assume you qualify just because your job involves some creativity.
Exemption for Administrative Employees
If you do not meet any one of these qualifications of an administrative employee, you are not exempt.
Also, to be considered an administrative employee, you must do at least one of the following:
Exemption for Managerial or Executive Employees
If you are a managerial or executive employee, the work you do may not be protected by overtime laws. However, you are only a managerial or executive employee if you meet all of the following qualifications:
If you do not meet any one of these qualifications, you are not a manager and are not exempt.
Exemption for union employees
If you are a union member, you may not be protected by overtime laws because of language included in your collective bargaining agreement (CBA). If your CBA establishes a minimum wage for workers at your company that is at least 30% more than the legal minimum wage, you are exempt from overtime laws. As of January 1, 2008, minimum wage in California is $8.00 per hour. This means that if you are paid $10.40 or more per hour, overtime laws do not apply to you. (After Jan 1, 2016 you will need to make $13.33 per hour or more and after January 1, 2017 you will need to make $13.97 per hour or more to be a union member exempt from overtime laws if the employer has 26 or more employees). You may have the right to overtime included in your CBA, but the terms set out in your CBA might be different than the law for non-union employees.
Industry-specific exemptions
Some other categories of jobs are exempt from California state overtime law. These jobs include:
What do I do if I am not exempt but am not being paid overtime?
First, you should keep a detailed record of the hours you are working and the tasks that you perform.
You should then calculate the overtime pay you are due. (See our Fact Sheet Overtime Pay for information on calculating an overtime claim).
If your employer refuses to give you overtime pay to which you are entitled, you can also file a claim for your overtime wages with the California Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Labor Standards Enforcement ("Labor Commissioner"). For more information, see our Fact Sheet Do-It-Yourself Recovery of Unpaid Wages: How to Represent Yourself Before the California Labor Commissioner.
Your employer may not "retaliate" (fire, demote, suspend, etc.) against you for asking for overtime pay you believed you have earned, or for filing a claim with the Labor Commissioner. If you believe your employer has retaliated against you, contact the Labor Commissioner. You have six months from the date of the violation (for example, the date you were fired) to file a claim with the Labor Commissioner.
This Fact Sheet is intended to provide accurate, general information regarding legal rights relating to employment in California. Yet because laws and legal procedures are subject to frequent change and differing interpretations, the Legal Aid Society–Employment Law Center cannot ensure the information in this Fact Sheet is current nor be responsible for any use to which it is put.

Last week we previewed the (stacked) Western Conference and now it is time to tackle the East. The Miami Heat look to make it not one, not two, but three conference championships in a row. Can they do it? Who can rise to the occasion? Who is at the bottom of the barrel? Let's start there …
15. Philadelphia 76ers: I find it glorious that for David Stern's final season, there is a team with enough charisma to say, "Here we are … tanking in all its glory" from the day the draft took place all the way through the trading deadline. Where will Evan Turner and Thaddeus Young wind up? I'm not sure they care, as long as it is out of Philly. While I like what Philly did on draft night acquiring Noel and MCW, there is no hope for this team in 2013/14. Zero. Zilch.
14. Orlando Magic: Victor Oladipo is very likely going to be a very good NBA player, but this team lacks talent across its frontcourt. If they can find a taker for Jameer Nelson during the season, they might give the Sixers a run for their money on ping pong balls.
13. Cleveland Cavaliers: Dan Gilbert wants this team in the playoffs, yet continues to do the strangest things on draft night. I love Kyrie Irving, I just wish he played almost anywhere else in the league. Cavs fans have to hope that Michael Bennett doesn't eat himself out of the league (not a ringing endorsement for the #1 pick of the draft) and rely on getting something from Andrew Bynum and/or Anderson Varejao. This isn't going to end well.
12. Boston Celtics: The Celtics are rebuilding but I can't put them any lower than this, given what you just read. In fact, I actually wanted to put them a little bit higher, but figure this seems about right if Danny Ainge wakes up one day and says, "You know what, we are too good to get enough ping pong balls, Rondo needs to go". Rajon Rondo and the supporting cast (Jeff Green, Courtney Lee) are good enough to stay ahead of the prior three teams.
11. Charlotte Bobcats: On paper, this is a pretty intriguing team that you might want to keep an eye on, but then you remember it is the Bobcats. They have a serviceable rotation of guards, signed Big Al Jefferson, and I love MKG. Then I remember that they are the Bobcats and just drafted Cody Zeller at #4 ahead of a handful of others that would have been a nice fit. Would the real Bismack Biyombo please stand up this season?
10. Detroit Pistons: This is going to be fun, right? Right?! Chauncey Billups returning to Detroit and trying to lead the Pistons with Brandon Jennings, Josh Smith, and Andre Drummond. At what point does Billups flat out retire? It would be great if he just walked out of the locker room at halftime to never come back. This is where we start thinking about teams that could sneak their way into the Eastern Conference playoffs … with 35 wins.
9. Toronto Raptors: Another team that is intriguing on paper and then you give yourself a reality check on second glance. Do you want Kyle Lowry as your starting PG? Is DeMar DeRozan ever going to turn it on? How much of a leap is Jonas Valanciunas really going to make in one year? Is Rudy Gay just going to shoot 33% from the field this year on 1,500 shots? Sorry, no playoffs for this franchise.
8. Washington Wizards: Relying on the health of an already injured Emeka Okafor may not be the wisest strategy, but there is too much talent here to not make the playoffs in the East. John Wall, Bradley Beal, Otto Porter Jr. (another great pick from the Wizards front office?), and enough able bodies for big men. If you go to their second unit, you have some defensive studs as well with Singleton and Ariza on the wing. This could be a team to keep an eye on and is already on my League Pass watch-list.
7. Milwaukee Bucks: Every year I get sucked in and every year there is disappointment. Where OJ Mayo goes, so does some bizarre allegiance to overrate the team he's playing on. That bus landed in Milwaukee this year. I like their big men as a group, but not any particular individual. You have ex-Wolf Luke Ridnour and Brandon Knight as the PG's and Gary Neal as the fourth wheel in the backcourt. It will be interesting to see what they get out of the SF position where the Bucks have two wily veterans in Caron Butler and Carlos Delfino. This roster is good enough to make the playoffs. (Until it isn't)
6. New York Knicks: Look at how the NY Giants football season is going and that is what I would like to predict for the Knicks. However, they have too much talent for the Eastern Conference to go any lower than this. They will play .500 ball and get into the playoffs with ease. Here's what I like about the team: Tyson Chandler, from a few years ago. That's it. There is nothing on this roster that I like. Despite his gaudy numbers, there is virtually nothing Carmelo can do to not make me believe that he is an underachiever; outside of taking less than max money in his next contract and deferring to another star in order to win a championship.
5. Atlanta Hawks: This is my Eastern Conference "I have no idea where to put this team, so they are going here". I cannot give a team home court advantage in round 1 of the playoffs if that is my general feeling towards the team, so they land at #5. Love the Paul Millsap and Al Horford combination, like Jeff Teague, but have no idea what to think of their rotation of wings. The Hawks' wings really just need to fill roles though, right? That should be good enough for a .500+ record and another trip to the postseason, only to be quickly disposed by the …
4. Chicago Bulls: We'll get to this when we go through the playoff brackets later, but I see the Bulls coasting through the regular season, monitoring Derrick Rose's minutes, resting him occasionally, etc. This team is tough as nails and will do what is necessary to get to right around the 50 win mark. It won't be pretty, we won't enjoy it when they beat up the Wolves in the paint, but this team will get it done.
3. Brooklyn Nets: Prokhorov's tax bill is "a bit" much, but you have to love an owner that is willing to spend any and all money possible to put together a championship contender. Unfortunately for the Nets, there are too many stronger teams that will grind this team out of the playoffs at some point. Deron Williams has a lot to prove and I see this team putting together a very strong regular season due to all of the veterans in the locker room.
Best of luck to KG in Brooklyn and a big "kudos" for the Big Ticket in wearing the #2 jersey with the Nets – in memory of Malik Sealy. I might have to drag myself to the Barclay's Center to see KG one last time in person.
2. Indiana Pacers: The country finally got to see who Paul George was and what this Pacers roster is all about in last year's playoffs. I don't expect them to digress whatsoever. In fact, if Danny Granger can stay healthy and Luis Scola provides quality backup minutes at the PF/C spots, this team is very, very dangerous. Quite honestly, I love this team.
(You didn't think I would talk about the Pacers and not mention David Kahn's selection of Wesley Johnson over Paul George, did you? The worst lottery pick the franchise has ever made. The worst … and the bar is pretty 'high' for that proclamation. THE WORST! Let's move on before my blood pressure pills start wearing off …)
1. Miami Heat: The Heat won something like 75 games in a row (it was 27) last season and the NBA Championship. You know the story and the cast of characters. Until someone knocks them off the pedestal, it is hard to place them anywhere else.
Which brings us to the playoffs, based on the seeds above. Here is how I see the Eastern Conference Playoffs unfolding:
The top four teams in the East are light-years ahead of the rest of the conference, so they should all advance pretty easily out of the first round – unless you like the Knicks. Then things get very interesting. As mentioned above, I think the Bulls take it "easy" in the regular season a bit but knock out the defending champs, which sets up a close to epic battle against the Pacers. I simply believe it is the Pacers time.
The early exit for the Heat leads to about 15 million stories and rumors about LeBron heading back to Cleveland, to the Lakers, etc. etc. That's going to be a lot of fun!
What do you think? Is it too early to dethrone the Heat? Do they have another trophy coming? What are your surprise or disappointment teams in the conference? Let us know below!

That would definitely be the case if the alphabet was completely phonetic. However, pronunciation in English has too many exceptions to be considered regular. Still, it probably is easier than memorizing thousands of hanzi.
but there is no "completely phonetic" writing system

ANGRY opposition councillors walked out of a Malvern Hills District Council this week in a row over plans to merge the authority's chief executive post with Wychavon council.
Members of the Lib Dem and Democrat groups walked out of Tuesday's full council meeting , charging that a notice of motion brought by the ruling Conservative group was illegal.
The Tories' motion sought to change a decision made last month when the plan to share the chief executive's post was approved.
In that meeting, the words that "the new post is regarded as suitable employment for the current chief executive and managing director" was replaced with a recommendation that the post is "subject to open application and competition".
The Tories' motion sought to change the minutes to restore the original wording.
Opposition councillors said changing the minutes to reflect something that was not agreed at the meeting is illegal, , and Cllr Anthony Warburton produced written legal advice backing up that view.
The Tories quickly reworded the motion. After taking advice from council officers, cllr Mike Morgan, who was chairing the meeting, ruled that the reworded motion should be allowed - prompting the opposition walkout.
The rebel councillors stood outside the Council Chamber while the motion was passed 17-0 with two abstentions.

Eastbourne is this week set to be hotter than parts of Europe – and its sunshine rival Jersey.
Temperatures are forecast to top 25 degrees tomorrow (Wednesday, May 23) which is considerably warmer than parts of Spain.
Rain is predicted for French capital Paris, while neither New York, Madrid or Ibiza are likely to leave Eastbourne in the shade.
And long-term sunshine rival Jersey is expecting clouds and highs of just 17 degrees tomorrow – leaving it seven degrees and a lot of sunlight behind Eastbourne.
Shanklin on the Isle of Wight, which earlier this year revealed sunshine stats which put it ahead of both Eastbourne and Jersey, is also set for a good week, with 24 degrees tomorrow, albeit with plenty of cloud.
Nearby Hastings, which has also trumpeted its sunshine league topping credentials, has been told to expect rain tomorrow and again on Sunday.
And, while the weekend forecast for Eastbourne is not quite as impressive as the middle of the week, both Saturday and Sunday should stay dry and sunny, with an average of around 17 degrees.
Enjoy it while it lasts however. The MET Office is predicting rain on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

SAGU caps solid showing at NCCAA Nationals
Hillhouse, Campos are team's top two finishers
Covarrubias praises team for performance, experience gained
CEDARVILLE, Ohio -- The initial season by the Cross Country program at Southwestern Assemblies of God University came to an exciting close on Saturday just east of Dayton, Ohio.
Both the men's and women's teams qualified for a berth in the National Christian College Athletic Association's 40th National Championship. SAGU's teams had an impressive inaugural campaign.
There were 44 teams in the two men's divisions, where SAGU finished 24th. There were 33 teams, including the Lions, in Division I.
The women's squad was reduced to four members, primarily due to injuries. To earn points, teams must have five runners.
Cedarville University (NCAA Division II) hosted the event at their Elvin R. King XC Course.
The site location was dedicated in 2006, created amid 150 acres at the north end of the CU campus.
"The course was very slow this year and the weather was cold as well," said Head Coach Jason Covarrubias. It was 51 degrees at 10:00am, cloudy and windy with 90% humidity.
"Our men competed shorthanded (Brad Beimler was serving as an Army Reservist) and that was evident in the final standings."
The upbeat Covarrubias (KO-vah-ROO-bee-us) spoke of the benefits of competing at such a venue
"The experience of performing on the biggest stage was awesome! The all- freshman (men's) squad 'grew up' in their athletic career this weekend," he continued. "We are looking to capitalize off this meet next year!"
SAGU's top finisher in the 8K (5 miles) race, among 231 harriers, was John "B.J." Hillhouse (Brookshire, Tx / Royal HS). He came in at No. 109 with a time of 28:17.02.
Jose L. Campos (Luling, Tx / Luling HS) was the next Lion to finish at 28:35.26.
Juan Rubio (Rockdale, Tx / Rockdale HS) (29:34.12), Nathaniel Gonzales (Dilley, Tx / Dilley HS) (30:58.31) and Luke Flattery (Springfield, Mo / Central HS) (32:13.30) completed SAGU's maiden trip to Nationals.
The overall winner was Andrew Reidsma, from Trinity Christian College (Palos Heights, Ill). The senior broke the tape at 25:13.36.
The winning team was Azusa Pacific University (Cal) (NCAA D2), followed by Roberts Wesleyan College (NY) (NCAA D2) and Arizona Christian University (NAIA).
For complete results, visit: http://www.thenccaa.org/news/2013/11/14/GEN_1114135730.aspx
A year ago, Coach Covarrubias led the men's team from Arlington Baptist College (Tx) to the NCCAA Division II championship in their first year of existance.
News regarding both signed recruits and those who join the team as "walk ons" will be posted on this website throughout the next semester.
The schedule, which will likely be expanded, will be posted later in the spring or early summer.
Potential recruits who are interested in SAGU should contact the coach at email@example.com.
"They (the team) gained the knowledge of how it feels to run on a big stage with some of the nation's top runners," the coach said.
"The NCCAA National Championships will serve as a learning curve in both our training regimen and our (future) racing strategies!"
Standing by his belief that "no race is a bad race," Covarrubias, a glass half-full kind of motivator, concluded.
"We can always take (learn) something with us every time the starter pistol is fired! It was a good finish to a great inaugural season."
"We are no longer all freshmen. We now have a solid year under our belts!"

It's not every day when I man an Adobe booth at an education tradeshow talking with our education customers that I suddenly see someone in front of me practically jumping up and down and waving their arms to get my attention. Usually educators stop by our Adobe booth and politely ask us questions about education pricing, when the next versions of our software is due out and where they can learn more about professional development or certification. But at the last CUE (Computer-Using Educators) Conference held in Palm Springs, CA I rapidly finished up a conversation I was having and turned my attention to the woman at our booth who now had tears streaming down her cheeks and suddenly burst out, "Adobe save's lives! Adobe changes lives! Thank you so much for all you do!"
I stood there jaw dropped and thunderstruck not quite sure of how to respond. I recall saying something really lame like "Excuse me!? Come again!?" But the woman standing there was now so emotionally choked up she couldn't even speak! I sensed I better do something quick before she really started crying so I took her gently by the hand and asked her to sit down in our booth so I could calm her down.
After several minutes she finally did and said, "My name is Dr. Katherine Nell McNeil. I'm a Special Education teacher from the East County Academy of Learning in the Lakeside Union School District in San Diego, California. I want you to know for all the work that Adobe does, to each employee who has had a hand in making your software a reality, you all need to know that I stand up and yell thank you. Adobe saves lives. Adobe changes lives. You guys are dream makers not dream breakers. Through your products my students with severe emotional and behavioral disorders learn not only how to make award winning digital media designs, but also develop new behaviors, higher order thinking skills, academic and social skills which they previously did not possess".
Now it was my turn to get emotional. I remember getting tears in my eyes and blurting something like "Wow! Really!? Thank you for sharing this!" Dr McNeil went on to tell me she has been a special ed. teacher for over ten years and by using digital media design tools like Photoshop, she's made a profound difference in many of her students behavior. She stated many of students have severe learning disabilities including Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHAD). But through the use of digital media tools many of her kids have been able to turn their lives around by expressing themselves and building self-confidence using these tools. In fact she beamed when she informed me that several of her students won ribbons at the recent California Del Mar fair for their digital media creations made with Adobe Photoshop and other Adobe tools.
To learn more about this prolific powerhouse educator, Dr. McNeil and her special education teaching techniques check out this great video interview with her made by the San Diego Department of Education (SDDOE) at the link below.

I'm giving hyperlink to few key words pointing to my homepage on my web site home page content.So I want to know can google penalize my web site for this sort of internal link building.Or is this reliable to employ this approach.
Note: I am implementing the keywords as it is definitely.
Why are you putting those links on your page? If it's to help your human visitors to navigate, and to easily locate the information they want, then that's great - carry on. If you're doing it for some perceived search engine benefit, then you might as well not bother. I doubt Google will actively penalise you for it, but neither will you gain any benefit from such internal links.
It's definitely an approach that can help point the search engines in the right direction as to what the concept of a page is, though you have to be careful with it. Just like you wouldn't drop 50 links into a single external article, you wouldn't do it on your own site. Also remember that universal page pieces such as header and footer are easily discernible to the engines, so a footer link won't have as much value internally as a link within a unique content piece.
As far as a penalty, if you're not doing this in a spammy way you should be fine. I run a large classified site that by nature has a ton of internal links (like 100k+) because of different geographic regions, sub-regions, etc. and it doesn't have any issues.
Correctly said Duffy, as long as you are not doing any spam activity, it will be safe, and it is by far the best way to make a site easily navigable for users as well as it will by default get you search engine benefit because search engine bots will find it easy to crawl you site pages quickly through the links, but maintain a consistency of not posting more than 2 links on an article irrespective of the size of the article.
There is nothing wrong with internal linking. Supposedly your supposed to do it more the deeper you get. It's the off site linking that can get you in trouble.
Agree Internal Linking is Good .As Per Question , Seems its wrong to point out links for same page to same . you are Asking to Put Contextual Link with your targeted keywords that navigate Again to same page . You Should Use to navigate for your inner pages .
As long as your link building is natural there wont be any issues. Internal linking is good for a website's SEO, if you do well Google wont penalize at all.
Internal linking is fine. Try to choose anchor text keywords that fit with your site theme for an even better result
Interlinking is good for making your site interlinked to each other pages.And its not cause of any penalty by doing so, its just a way to navigate one page to others also.
Well said, over linking may attract penalty.
I don't think it can be a cause of getting penalized. how? We make this to help visitors to read important pages on an easier way. please know me how Google will know i did this for optimizing search engines?
Internal linking is good. But remember don't overdo it.
We seem to have said everything that needs to be said at least once, and the OP hasn't come back with further questions or comments, so I think it's time to close this thread. Thanks to those who contributed.

Sneak Peek: Food Stylist Trick
Ever wonder how a slice of cake can look so beautiful and precise in glossy magazines, without a hint of smeared frosting? Food stylist Brian Preston-Campbell reveals the secret: Constructing a cake slice like a tall sandwich.

The quarterbacks will get a lot of the attention — Peyton Manning for his perfect career mark against Cincinnati, Andy Dalton for his penchant to melt down in big games — when the Broncos play the Bengals on Monday night. But it'll be the running backs who are on the spot in a game between teams trying to set themselves up for deep playoff runs.
If the Broncos (11-3) and Bengals (9-4-1) get their way, it'll be C.J. Anderson and Jeremy Hill getting most of the attention.
Both teams have started putting more emphasis on the run as the playoffs approach. The Broncos have already won the AFC West and would clinch a first-round bye with a victory at Paul Brown Stadium. The Bengals would earn a fourth straight trip to the playoffs with a win.
"The formula to win a championship this time of the season is teams that can run the ball and play good defense," Broncos nose tackle Terrance Knighton said.
Yeah, they all say that. In this case — for this game in particular — it's pertinent.
Manning is 8-0 against the Bengals, but he's not in the best of health. Manning played with the flu and strained his right thigh during a 22-10 win at San Diego last Sunday. He was limited in practice during the week.

Thanks to Walgreens for underwriting this post. I was paid as a member of the Clever Girls Collective, but the content is all mine. Visit http://www.discoverbeautywithin.com/
Hello my loves! Summer is almost here and I want to know if you're ready to face the hot weather. I don't know what it's like where you live, but in Los Angeles we can see days in the 90's and almost in the 100's! That's crazy hot!!
There are so many different ways to get yourself ready for the summer. You might be thinking about what you're going to wear and where you'll get your swimsuit. BUT, have you thought about how you're going keep that fresh summer look? You know what that is right?
A fresh summer look is when it's hotter than hot outside and your best friend's makeup is running down her face and you look like you just stepped outside. Don't be skeptical , it's possible!
I'm going to give you a few tips on how you can achieve that fresh summer look without breaking the bank. These are all products you can get at your local drugstore, like Walgreens.
First things first, it all starts with your daily shower. Try using a body wash like Dove's Go Fresh Cucumber & Green Tea Body Wash. It will leave your skin feeling refreshed and hydrated.
After your shower, why not try using Johnson's Baby Powder or Pure Cornstarch Powder to help absorb any excess moisture or help prevent chafing.
And let's not forget one of the more important things you can get your hands on this summer and that's deodorant. I love Degree's Women MotionSense Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant. It helps keep me fresh during the hottest moments.
When it comes to your makeup, make sure you find a moisturizer and foundation with SPF protection. When choosing eyeshadow, blush, or lip gloss stick to the lighter and fresher looking colors like peach or coral.
And there's no other way to keep that fresh summer look than to keep your skin protected. No one likes a sunburn! The higher the SPF the better. Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock Lotion SPF 85+ would be perfect.
I hope you find these tips helpful! Not only will you feel fresh you'll look fresh all summer long!
What are your favorite ways to keep that fresh summer look?

Orlando Shakespeare Theater's Next Offerings Will Be OTHELLO and SENSE AND SENSIBILITY
Orlando Shakespeare Theater in Partnership with UCF (http://www.orlandoshakes.org) presents two treasured and cherished classics – William Shakespeare's Othello and Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility – in rotating repertory. These works will be presented in the Margeson Theater at the Lowndes Shakespeare Center. Ticket prices range from $17-$40 with discounts available for students, active military, and groups.
Shakespeare's treacherous play, Othello, a gripping thriller of jealousy, passion, and revenge, has never been so alluring. Othello, a celebrated general, yet an outsider, defies social convention and marries Desdemona, a Venetian aristocrat. Enter Othello's most trusted lieutenant, the "honest" Iago, who nurses a vengeful hate for his commander. As Iago draws Othello and the audience into a spider web of half-truths, scandal is fueled – families and friendships destroyed – until a "trifle light as air" tragically unravels them all. Directed by Brian Vaughn, Othello begins previews on Wednesday, January 23, opens Friday, January 25 and runs through Saturday, March 16, 2013.
"Othello is one of Shakespeare's most famous works, and deservedly so. Its examination of race, jealousy and passion are jus as poignant today as they were when he wrote it," said Jim Helsinger, OST's artistic director. "We're so thrilled to bring back Esau Pritchett, who was recently on Broadway in 'A Free Man of Colour' in this exciting new production in the Margeson Theater."
Affairs of the heart take center stage in Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility in a fresh adaption of the tale by Jon Jory. When a lack of luck makes for difficult marriage prospects, the Dashwood sisters set sail on the volatile seas of courtship. The sisters soon discover that neither reserved Elinor's common sense nor Marianne's impulsive passion offers the key to happiness. Scandalous secrets, burning betrayals, and unexpected twists line the path to true love. Directed by Mark Routhier, Orlando Shakes Director of New Play Development, Sense and Sensibility begins previews on Wednesday, February 6, opens Friday, February 8 and runs through Sunday, March 17, 2013.
"Pride and Prejudice was a large success here a few years ago and I'm really looking forward to working with our great cast on the equally beautiful, funny romance, Sense and Sensibility," said Routhier. "Jane Austen was a sly and elegant writer and Jon Jory's adaptation is fluid and sparkling."
The casts of Othello and Sense and Sensibility feature Orlando Shakes newcomers Martin Yurek as Iago and Colonel Brandon; Piper Patterson as Marianne; John Keller as Roderigo and Edward Ferrars; and Lindsey Kyler as Desdemona and Elinor. The cast of twenty includes returning Orlando Shakes actors Esau Pritchitt as Othello and the Doctor, Suzanne O'Donnell as Emilia and Mrs. John Dashwood, Anne Hering as the Dutchess of Venice and Mrs. Jennings, Joe Vincent as Brabantio and Sir John Middleton, Shannon Michael Wamser as Cassio and Willoughby, and Robin Olson as Lady Middleton; as well as Matthew Natale Rush as Montano, Ron Schneider as Gratiano, Nathan Sebens as Robert Ferrars, Derrick Williams as James, Brandon Alpert as Lodovico, Greg Joubert as John Dashwood, Casey Noble as 1st Senator, Lauren Butler as Bianca, Danielle Gosselin as Lucy Steele, and Kelly Kilgore as Mrs. John Dashwood.
The shows' design team includes costume designers Denise R. Warner (Othello) and Jack A. Smith (Sense and Sensibility), lighting designer Eric T. Haugen, scenic designer Bert Scott, and sound designer Matthew Given.
The Classic Repertory Series is made possible by BB&T, Florida Hospital, OUC, and JetBlue. Orlando Shakespeare Theater in Partnership with UCF is supported by United Arts of Central Florida with funds from the United Arts campaign and by State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Arts Council.

We can talk more about this once you've decided on a knife.

How important is it to you to only sharpen once every 14 weeks instead of going through the horrible drudgery of sharpening every 11? Instead, pay more attention to edge taking, edge geometry, ease of maintenance, profile, handle, weight, agility, overall ergonomics, and even looks. Those things make an everyday difference whose lack can't be compensated with a (very) little extra attention.

Short take: I Do and I Don't
Updated 5:42 pm, Friday, February 22, 2013
When Jeanine Basinger contemplated doing a book on marriage movies, she ran the idea past her colleagues, critics Molly Haskell and David Thomson. Their response? Expect problems. The author doesn't elaborate, but as you trudge through the results, "I Do and I Don't: A History of Marriage in the Movies," you'll see what they were thinking.
For starters, it's a daunting mountain to climb. If one were able to actually calculate the number of married characters in the movies from its silent beginnings to its ear-splitting present, they would total, like, what, a gazillion brides for a gazillion brothers?
How does one begin to separate those films that are, as Basinger parses it, "strictly about the condition of being married" from the ones in which a marriage is merely plot window dressing?
Beyond that, such a book would hit the same wall long facing screenwriters: It's not terribly sexy. Basinger's book benefits from a spikily opinionated voice congenial to a diverse readership: barbed observations for the casual fan and a hog heaven of footnotes for the tenure-track cineaste. Still and all, "I Do and I Don't" can be a slog, even for those of us who are married to the movies.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/8/2013 (1472 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
MYRTLE BEACH, South Carolina -- The music man plays Mozart as the shortstop comes to bat. We're at the best place in the world -- a minor-league stadium on a summer evening. A sultry breeze is waving goodbye to the ocean and tickling the flapping flags.
There is nothing in the hitter's resum© that suggests much of a threat. He's small, even for a middle infielder, a 34th-round Baltimore draft choice with a .214 average batting ninth and last in the order for the visiting Frederick (Maryland) Keys, and his Orioles-orange No. 6 jersey looks like he bought it at Gymboree. Moreover, he is Canadian, and what do Canadians know about playing the game of baseball?
The expatriate is a 25-year-old from Toronto by way of the University of British Columbia with a minimal salary and the million-dollar name of Sammie Starr. Hence the serenade as he walks to the plate in the third inning of a 0-0 game: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.
The Myrtle Beach Pelicans' catcher, who also is Canadian, but a first-round thoroughbred named Kellin Deglan out of Langley, B.C. with as much facial hair as he can sprout at the age of 21, calls for Eine Kleine chin music to start Sammie Starr off. This warning shot backs the shortstop off the plate and -- one assumes -- sets him up for a curve ball low and away.
Only a couple of thousand of us are here to witness the existential struggle between batsman and pitcher, barely changed in 140 years. Every half inning, another rude distraction is imposed -- a race run by people dressed as crabs; a cannon on wheels that launches T-shirts -- but for the true fan, as for the players themselves, the game is the attraction and the everything.
Sammie Starr has been a Delmarva Shorebird or an Aberdeen IronBird or a Key -- named for the Frederick-born lawyer who wrote The Star-Spangled Banner -- for the past three seasons, which is a very long time to be treading water down in Class A ball. At his age, he understands every series, every game, every swing could be the tipping point to his promotion or -- sadly, but more likely -- his release into the baseless world.
"The danger's always there," Starr admits, when I meet him for a quiet moment during his team's three-day sojourn in Myrtle Beach. "If I'm done with Baltimore, I don't know what I'll do."
Still, he says, "I feel like I have a lot of baseball left in me. My body still feels good, and I still love the game. Every night, you try to go out there and impress somebody. You know that you're always being watched. It's always in the back of your mind that one little play might be the difference."
"Was there a moment," I ask him, "when you understood that you may never make the major leagues?"
"Probably two spring trainings ago," he answers, "I played a game with the big-league team. That's when you realize that you're further away than you think."
It is the same for the hundreds of other young men who are playing this summer for a thousand dollars a month for the Vermont Lake Monsters, the Albuquerque Isotopes, the Montgomery Biscuits, the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, or the Great Lakes Loons -- each at-bat occurring at the intersection of baselines and destinies.
Then along comes a strong, confident, can't-miss prospect like Deglan, who received a million-dollar bonus to sign with the Texas Rangers right out of R.E. Mountain Secondary School.
"I feeI good where I am right now. I'm a tougher out. I'm an RBI guy now," he says when we meet one afternoon. "Watching big-league games and especially the catchers, I think I'm better than them. The way the jet stream blows out to right-centre in Texas, that park will be good for me."
Deglan has hit 11 homers for the Pelicans this season in 250-something at-bats. By comparison, Justin Morneau, another British Columbian, hit 12 homers in 236 appearances in Class A ball as a Quad Cities River Bandit and now earns $14-million a year as a Minnesota Twin.
"Why aren't you playing hockey?" I glibly ask the lefthanded-hitting left-coaster.
"I quit when I was 10," he says. "It was a lot more stressful than baseball. If I had a bad shift, the coach was getting on my case. I wasn't ready for it. It turned me off."
"How do you pitch to Sammie Starr?" I inquire. I promise I won't tell him.
"We call him an 'ambush hitter,' " Kellin Deglan replies. "You've got to treat the small guys like the big guys."
So the battle is rejoined. The 1-0 pitch to Mozart's favorite shortstop is a fastball over the plate. The small guy swings and raps a sharp single to left. This grants a dreamer one more trip around the bases, running so fast fate can't make the tag.

I am excitedly packing for Africa, the lush fertile countries of Uganda and Rwanda to be specific. I have a headlamp and hiking shoes, camera and sunscreen. In goes malaria pills and bug spray, wildlife guides and a sunhat. It is a true honor to co-lead this Oakland Zoo Conservation Expedition to visit the conservation projects that the Oakland Zoo Conservation Fund supports. We have been planning and learning through monthly meetings and workshops since January, and are now ready to go.
Next, I am packing the important things: Thirteen adult participants, full of adventure, compassion and a genuine reverence for wildlife and conservation, and one Oakland Zoo veterinarian co-leader, Dr. Andrea Goodnight. On the packing list are three laptops, two cameras, children's books, and hats and t-shirts for our guides and friends. The items will be donated to Pearl Eco-Safaris (www.ugandaecosafaris.net), The Kibale Fuel Wood Project (www.newnaturefoundation.org) and the Budongo Snare Removal Project (www.budongo.org).
A primate net will somehow be hauled on board for the Uganda Conservation Wildlife Education Center so they can ensure a safe capture for their rescued wildlife. Three veterinary medicinal formula books will join us as a gift to the Mountain Gorilla Vet Project (www.gorilladoctors.org), as well as an immobilization unit for darting gorillas in need of medical care.
Packed in our bags will be letters of appreciation for the Budongo Snare Removal Team. Thank you notes will also be given to the Women's Community Action Project who creates the gorgeous Kibale Bead jewelry sold at the Oakland Zoo gift shop, and the Virunga Artisans (www.virungaart.com) artists, whose weavings and carvings are also featured at our gift shop.
To the pastoral community near Queen Elizabeth Park who saved a female leopard from poisoning and assisted lion expert Dr. Ludwig Siefert in the rescue operation, we bring a framed certificate of recognition and appreciation.
Last goes in some stories and songs, and the willingness to share all of ourselves. With full bags, we depart on July 1. We will report back upon return, with much more received than we could ever pack in our bags and offer.
The Oakland Zoo Conservation Expedition is in partnership with Intrepid Travel. Contact email@example.com for future Conservation Expedition information, such as Borneo in 2012!

Trying to do a melee Outlander, for now he's a bit, squishy... Ofcourse, with dodge capping at 75%, it's a bit depressing. I thought of akimbo, poison applying Outlander with blade pact and stunning glave and fiery leap for mobility.
Godsdamn mana wisps in terrochs rift. They're not especially problematic but I hated those spirit-throwers in the watchweald temple and these guys are even worse. Anything that does a fair amount of damage that homes in is automatically not on my christmas card list.
They are on my to-have-a-glaive-thrown-at-them-list though.
Been playing just a little off and on between sessions on GW2 - my only real gripe is that the screen feels cramped (23" 1080P) compared to D3. I could see much more of what was going on in D3. Are there any mods that pull the camera out even further?
Finally getting around to playing this properly. So far enjoying it - nothing revolutionary but exactly what works for me, which was the same for the first Torchlight. Mucking about with a frost/shock Embermage, primarily using frost for main combat and shock for the passives and the thunder cloud: lots of things getting frozen and random effects bouncing around everywhere. Very enjoyable. Probably not Game of the Year material but it scratches my ARPG itch very pleasantly.
What's the most effective build for Embermage? Lvl20, dying a lot, 10 unused skill points, only magic missile and ice blink at lvl 1, rest in passives.
My embermage tips:
-Prismatic Bolt. Level it up rather high.
\: When it and your level is high enough, put one point each into the electric, ice and fire 'brand skill. That's the one at the bottom right of the trees that does a bonus burst of damage if the enemy is burnt/frozen/shocked. Obviously put more points in the respective skill if you're going fully into one tree.
-Charge Mastery is useful earlier on. The higher your level and gear, the less you'll need it, so you won't need to max it. Get to 6/7 and have done.
-Frost Phase is necessary as an escape act. You only need one point into it, if you're going the traditional route of long ranged mage.
-Prismatic Rift is great at stopping melee from hitting you. Its effect, of teleporting an enemy away from you, has obvious benefits. Most importantly, it works before damage.
-Death's Bounty is a weird one. I strongly recommend it, as what it does is cast a mark over your target and a few close by. When a marked enemy is killed, energy bolts fly out to you and recover your health and mana. More points into it also slow down effected enemies. There is a drawback - before investing significantly into it, it has a large cast time. This can actually harm you more than the health benefit initially.
A lot of other things are up for grabs. Just fiddle around with stuff you like the look of and go from there. Much later level skills I can recommend:
-Flame Pillar is great for weirdish AoE, but at the very least builds up your Charge really well.
-Astral Ally is a late game spell, but it's really awesome for that time because it creates a nice distraction away from the mobs that can hot-shot you at that stage. Obviously not amazing for general mob clearance, not in that it's weak, but you have to invest several points to reduce the up-time deficit that goes with the long cooldown. It does, however, make it a fantastic spell to use against champions and bosses for a significant damage upgrade.
Other things:
-Shocking Orb is another high level spell. I think it's awful. It summons a lightning ball that fires shocks out from it. It fires out in the direction you're facing though, not where the mouse is. I also think it doesn't do enough damage for its investment.
-Frozen Fate is...probably a good move. I never got it, but I can imagine it being very useful for ranged mages.
-Staff Mastery is probably quite useful; staves provide the base damage over wands (which do have higher DPS). Some skills take damage from wands or staves (and base damage/magic) so whichever you go for in the end, put points into this or, respectively Wand Chaos.
A new patch was released yesterday, fixing some bugs and tweaking a few skills. Nerfs all around.
I don't mind them nerfing abilities, but I would have like some buffs as well. The Outlander's problem isn't just that Glaive Throw is too good, but also that his other skills aren't good enough.Quote:
Our second patch has just gone live - here are the notes!
We continue to be hard at work on changes for the NEXT patch, as well as the mod kit. Also, secret fun stuff!

*Many wardrobe tweaks and fixes
*Various alterations were made to better support translated versions of the game, and to detect and deal with other language items during trading
yeah i probably won't be patching tl2 if this is the approach runic is taking. i'm not interested in balance in my offline, singleplayer game (as i'm currently choosing to play it).
Can anyone tell me what the elemental symbol to the right of an enemy's health bar indicates? Is that an indication of their elemental resistance, the type of damage they do, or what?
Hey guys check out this interview with Max Schaefer at http://pixeljudge.com/en/interviews/...mes-interview/
He is such a cool guy.
Has anyone tried out hardcore mode yet? I've lost a lot of good characters to HC Elite. My damage output is usually pretty good but sooner or later I walk into an inescapable situation or get killed by a frost mage that's barely visible at the edge of the screen. The game is fun but there are some flaws that become glaringly obvious on higher difficulties and even more so on hardcore.

Topic: husband's WBC count too low for chemo
Does anyone know how to get the WBC count up? He had this problem even before he started the chemo last week. Then, a few days after the initial bloodwork, his level was normal and he was able to have treatment. This week the same thing--he schlepped all the way to Sloan only to be turned away because his ANC count was only 1000, which also results in low WBC. The term is Neuropenia. Anyone know what to do about this?

Time for some reminiscing. Think back (for some of you, think way, way back). What led you to PR or journalism? Did you know you wanted to work in PR or journalism before college, or did you discover the field later in life? If the latter, what did you do before?
If I'm asking you to share your story, it's only fair I share mine. I wrote for my high school newspaper and loved it. I edited our class yearbook in high school and loved it. I even spent my free time at home working on an underground newspaper (much harder in the days of typewriters) – which I also loved. [Read more…]
