I have a question on this topic. If we switched to Enfold for the mobile capabilities, would the short codes transfer as well?
I guess, does enfold and abundance use the same shortcodes?
Thanks.August 28, 2014 at 9:18 pm in reply to: aviacordion Jquery conflict #310651
Well this is interesting…a little confusing.
So I tried putting the following in my header code block but it didn't work:
/* add javascript */
wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
?>August 25, 2014 at 8:12 pm in reply to: aviacordion Jquery conflict #308966
Thank you, I understand. It has happened with several different plugins (these aren't wordpress plugins) I'm coding them directly with the CSS & Javascript Toolbox.
Does the theme include the jquery directory? I'm guessing not? I tried including it in the "header.php" file, but when I do that the accordion stops working.
What I'm working on right now is a lightbox I want on certain pages.

Hi! I have the same question but I am working in Abundance. Can I replace the same code? Where would I find my shortcodes.js file?
Sorry that didn't work.
I also tried taking out all my custom css.November 5, 2013 at 9:01 pm in reply to: Ninja forms – Conditionals #184952
Well thanks for looking at it. The forms on Recliners didn't work because there are no conditionals programed into those forms yet. If you want a good test try the Chairs page.November 5, 2013 at 12:34 am in reply to: Ninja forms – Conditionals #184552This reply has been marked as private.November 2, 2013 at 6:12 pm in reply to: Ninja forms – Conditionals #183726
I don't have any details. If you want I could give you a temp login to my site if you want to poke around.
Because Ninja forms works if I change it to a different theme – Can I create a page template for wordpress to apply to one page which would host my Ninja forms, free from Abundance code interfering?
So far, I made a Template that gives me this: http://www.briggerfurniture.com/test/
But the form still doesn't work.
Code for my Template below:
Template Name: Form Theme
<div class='container_wrap <?php echo $avia_config['layout']; ?>' id='main'>

<?php avia_title(); ?>

/* Run the loop to output the posts.
* If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
* called loop-page.php and that will be used instead.
$avia_config['size'] = 'page';
get_template_part( 'includes/loop', 'page' );
<!–end content–>

<!–end container–>

The guys at Ninja Forms took another look at it and send me this:
Hey Rebekah,
I think I have found the problem. Actually, it turns out to be two problems. The first is that your Contact Us widget had some bad JS in it. I took that out, and that led me to my second discovery.
The next issue is that your list items have single and double quotes. That's causing an issue when they are encoded for output on the front-end.
I'm working on a fix now, but if you give each of those items a "value" using the "Show Option Values" button that doesn't involve the quotes or double quotes, it should work for you.
I'm still waiting for a fix, but the thing is I don't have a contact form plugin, I was using the Abundance Contact Page. If there is a JS error in the contact page, you may want to look into that.October 30, 2013 at 6:48 pm in reply to: Ninja forms – Conditionals #182517
The only thing I can think of that that might relate to is a print plugin I am using. I deactivated it but that didn't help.
The strange thing is that this was working until it updated. Then stopped. Naturally I thought it was the pluggin, but they can't find anything wrong and when I switch my theme to something else, the Ninja form works!
Do you have more suggestions for what I can try?October 29, 2013 at 11:12 pm in reply to: Ninja forms – Conditionals #182257
Hi Peter,
I pulled out all non-essential code and re-installed the theme. No dice.
Any other ideas?
thanksJune 4, 2013 at 12:14 am in reply to: Custom Font #120274
Thanks.June 4, 2013 at 12:12 am in reply to: 1.9 Upgrade Issues #120271
nevermind I just disabled "Minify" and that did it.
Could you recommend a good cache plugin? My site seems to run slow.June 4, 2013 at 12:08 am in reply to: 1.9 Upgrade Issues #120270
Well it worked for a while. I'm still having the same problems.

Comet OfflineHa Kumba I don't know what offseason success you're talking about for the Jets, all they've done is resign Holmes, fail to get Asomugha, and lose Brad Smith
Anyway it's nice to see this released and thanks a lot to the prep team. Looking at the votes I imagine the lack of custom supports really hurt, but I'm interested to hear everyone's opinion
Kumba OfflineWell I wrote that before the deal to the Eagles was made... somewhere JDP is likely having multiple orgasms right about now... Still you guys are looking good even without Nmamdi and hey, Moss is still out there. Really tho I was just being nice, as a Dolphins fan I hate the Jets and the Pats who keep adding talent.
On topic, great design and I was happy to be the one who finally got the write-up done
zburns999 OfflineAh, nice to see this on the front page!
Comet, I've always liked how you play this game. You always seem to have a clear idea of what you want to make, and don't release it until it fulfills your expectations.
That being said, I thought this was a really fun layout that felt really old-school without the custom supports. I know it can be said for many designs, but this one especially felt that it would have been better suited in a full park. Kind of reminded me of what would have been an "E Ticket Attraction" in one of the old spotlight parks.
My only real complaint would be to get your parks out of the woods. You always have everything so shrouded in foliage that it's hard to appreciate all the excellent touches you add to your work.
Anyway, congrats on the design man! Well deserved.
RMM Offlinethis was a '7' to you guys?
Cole OfflineI didn't like this very much. Congrats on the accolade though Comet!
Cena OfflineCan someone please kick JDP out of the accolade panel? Thank you.
Congrats Comet, were you inspired by a H2H5 minutemen park Turtle was working on? I see a lot of similarities.
MeMeMe Offline^Nope. People are entitled to their opinions.
nin OfflineComet, you have always been one of my favorites in the community. From the very start you have influenced me with your projects and just for the fact that you never gave up the game after all this time. You've always been talented, and while I look at your profile and see many 'failures' over time, the simple fact that you never let that get to is the best trait any parkmaker can have. Each park you release is a bit of a gem to me, holding a sense of charm and nostalgic value to me, reminding myself of how I looked up to you as I was a newcomer to the community.
That is why this release is so great to me. Even without it not being the best on a technical level, it shows the value of fun this game's worth to you as you consistently come back to show us whatever projects you come up with, and how little you cane care about the trends we set here. It shows you can have great work without falling victim to cliches such as ultra realistic layouts in realistic settings, custom supports, among other things.
This is a good step up for you, dude, and the fact that you're already showing you're latest and greatest in the dump place is a good sign that you'll be here for a bit longer.While you're not at the top yet, I see you as a true rising star.
Midnight Aurora OfflineCharming. As was mentioned in the advertising thread, I really wished there was some custom supports, but I thought the layout was good in its unconventional ways. Perhaps a little weak in the ending. The odd blend of trees really worked to your advantage, I think.
JDP Offline
yes and it felt fantastic! im sure you're happy with reggie though
Well I wrote that before the deal to the Eagles was made... somewhere JDP is likely having multiple orgasms right about now...
im sure im the only person on the panel who is strict with coasters... which mixes things up (look at my vote for Steel). i liked this design but it was nothing special. it had points where it felt uninspired along with it being rushed and no custom supports didnt help.
Can someone please kick JDP out of the accolade panel? Thank you.
but its cool "Cena" with the CMPunk avatar. you can hate on me all you want, wont get ya far though
SSSammy Offlineh8rz gna h8, jdp.
this looks so very sexy. best design for a while me thinks.
posix OfflineI thought this was pretty impressive for its unconventionalism and challenging terrain level variations you went for. Especially latter are very hard to hamornise out but you did it well. The layout itself was fun to watch. I also liked how you turned a non-theme (nature) into a theme.
What I would like to suggest for you to consider in future projects: Don't overmusic things. One jungle drums playing somewhere is more than enough in my opinion. And, be careful to properly expose the features of your park. Building entrances, facades, ride and shop entrances, path + ride interactions, make them clearly visible and pronounce them with details. You often had them hidden by overpowering greenery, which I felt was a waste the park's potential.
hulkpower25 OfflineI am very sorry, your ride is good, but not like {Maveric's Kraken} vertical is way better and really deserve the design award.
verti OfflineGreat manners, hulkpower25.
Comet; I love the setting. It might break a few unwritten design rules, but I don't really care much about that; it looks like a fun ride, and like you had fun building it. That's what matters when you open a park, I believe.
Cocoa Offline^^imma let you finish, but...
anyway, it was a pretty good design. overall the atmosphere was very relaxing and cozy, and your layout was good. It was definitely hurt by the lack of custom supports though, and all of the architecture seemed too repetetive and unrealistic (in terms of what style it is based on- it didn't really feel "real"). some highlights for me were the brake structure and the eating patio at the bottom.
Dotrobot Offline^^^ because your opinion is absolute?
Fuck that I'd take comet's design anyday over maverix's both are great but Comet's just appealed to me WAY better than maverix's
Flap OfflineThis is not getting a hit on me, Im sorry...
I Agree with Hulkpower,
I think i miss something that makes this perfect, also the layout doesn't get me either,
it just need something that make it special i think, which it isn't now.
Luigi OfflineI enjoyed. Especially because it is so different than the stuff we see normally on the frontpage. The fact that there were no custom supports didn't bother me. The lay-out was fun, the buildings look nice and the foliage+landscaping were just insane.
I agree with Zburns though; the foliage was a bit too dense and blocked views in some places.
Comet Offlinehulkpower I'm beginning to think you're illiterate, thanks for the pictures though. They really helped get the point across
To everyone else thanks for the comments I'll answer some of the questions and criticism a little later

Think Brussels and you may think truffles. You may think waffles. Or even moules frîtes. But not exotic spa treatments. Jean-Claude van Damme and Tintin are more likely to dip their bodies in Trappiste beer or mayonnaise than algae slimming lotions.
But all that is changing. And how. The über-slick Sea Me - Belgium's first day spa for men - has recently opened in the desirable inner suburb of Ixelles, surrounded by designer boutiques, brasseries and artery-hardening pastry shops. In just three months, its mix of facial skincare, massages, slimming treatments and hydrotherapy has generated rave press reviews and a rapidly growing clientele.
"Brussels men haven't had a masculinity issue with going to a spa," said the dapper owner Jean-Pierre Lebrun. "Some had very discreetly tried lady's spas. Now they have their own and they're happy. This city also has many different nationalities who are used to this sort of place - quite a few clients come from the Parliament and Commission."
That isn't surprising. Sea Me's understated elegance is perfectly pitched for sophisticated, highly paid Eurocrats. While the spa's promotional image of a naked, muscular male exploding out of the water looks nothing like my MEP - oh alright, I've never seen my MEP, but I bet he doesn't look like that - its hip, contemporary fusion of blonde wood, taupe walls and soporific lighting are tailor-made for Peter Mandelson.
Unlike the trade commissioner, I don't wear Armani and am slightly queasy about the idea of a male-only spa. My usual winter beauty regime involves single malt, big underpants and zero exercise - you can't argue with lubrication, insulation and relaxation - but now that British men have embraced moisturiser, exfoliation and under-eye gel, spas are a logical progression.
Sea Me's hydrating skin treatments would be a little less traumatic if I had heeded Monsieur Lebrun's advice and brought my swimming costume. It was forgotten in a last-minute dash for the Eurostar, leaving me to wear one of the spa's disposable paper thongs.
On a quiet morning, I wait for other clients to leave the changing room before slipping on the blue "nut sack". Sweet Jesus. Minuscule at the front, and startlingly revealing at the back, I now have the generous dimpled buttocks of Peter Stringfellow on a Caribbean beach.
It can't be a pleasant sight for your in-tray, but my therapist Vanessa gives me a game if slightly rigid smile as she helps me into the cocoon. A groundbreaking treatment in Belgium, the computerised bubble envelops you from the neck down, providing a mini-hammam steam treatment.
Before closing the lid and cranking it up to 40C, she coats me in lurid green slimming algae and smiles: "You look like Shrek." A lovely compliment but wrong, Vanessa. Shrek never wore a g-string. I look more like Shrek - The Lapdancing Years.
After 20 minutes' steaming, which leaves me soft and fat rather than al dente and fat, the cocoon switches to hydromassage mode. Jets of water at 38C - containing dried sea salt from the St Malo coast - pour over my body, while the machine generates shallow, breaking waves: the warmest dip I've ever experienced in the English Channel.
The ocean plays a core role at Sea Me. It's not just its Phytomer products, containing calcium, magnesium and other goodies from the briny; it's also the nautically influenced interior design, including brooding black-and-white photographs of the North Sea, a nice local twist on ubiquitous Indian Ocean sunsets.
A facial follows the cocoon. Vanessa might use long smooth massage strokes but she doesn't pull her punches, pointing out under-eye bags and thread veins on my cheeks (that's face, not buttocks). "You must be careful or you will look like a tomato when you're older."
To a background soundtrack of chirping birds playing ambient instruments - they've been on the spa circuit for years now, surely they're ready for Vegas - Vanessa applies cleansers, alcohol-free tonics, facial scrubs, serums, facial massage creams and a warm relaxing spinal mud pack that makes my back smell of scampi.
It's dizzying stuff. I happily acquiesce to the eye-contouring pads and compressed gauze mask that makes me look like Munch's The Scream, but a series of sharp pricks above my eyes are a treatment too far. Call me old-fashioned but eyebrow plucking is best left for the likes of Julian Clary and certain Premiership footballers.
After two and a quarter indulgent hours I'm released from Sea Me's intoxicating, scented embrace. I'm relaxed, smooth and strangely giddy. While I won't talk about the treatments in a loud voice in the pub, it's clear they could become a pricey addiction.
That evening in Brussels' Grand Place, I do my slimming algae and newly renovated thread veins a severe disservice. After copious mulled wines, Chimay beer and two huge bratwurst, I tuck into an epic chocolate tart. No one said it was easy being beautiful. I'm going back to Sea Me, and this time I'm taking my swimming trunks.

Working in the middle of the San Francisco financial district can be a little hectic during lunchtime. Even the elevators to get outside the office can be busy and crowded and take longer than I'd like (hello! I'm on a timed lunch!). Luckily this time of year between Christmas and New Year's has a "Friday light" feel all week.
Seems like a nice day to go for a mini field trip to one of my favorite stores!
How do you pronounce Moleskine? According to the company, it's all good. I like to say "Mole-uh-skeen" but you do you.
The Moleskine notebooks are everywhere in San Francisco. Your hipster store isn't cool if you don't carry a few sketchbooks that cost $20. But even in art stores, I can't seem to find the one I want. I just love the Moleskine store because it's all so organized. And they have all of the limited edition covers that will make your nerdy heart sing. I've also been watching too many YouTube videos of amazing artists making gorgeous art in their Moleskine sketchbooks. I know the paper has little to do with the talent, but it just looks so inspiring.
And here is me being a bit of a creeper and taking a peep at the tester sketchbook.

"You feel an evil presence watching you"[edit source]
Does anyone know the exact reason for this message to appear? It appeared for me right after I equipped a Depth Meter for the first time, so I'm not sure if that's related or if I experienced a bug. Niskd1 21:03, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
- I believe this event occurs randomly until the Eye of Cthulhu is defeated. -- Michael 23:55, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
- The requirements are on the actual page |: --The dnmr 00:22, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
The NPC requirement in the code says you need 3 or more town NPCs.... but I believe that the 'old man' counts as one as well. --GauHelldragon 09:10, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
You do need 3 NPCS, and the Old Man IS counted! Also, you must need 200+ max hp, and not killed it for it 2 have a 1 in 3 chance
of spawning!
ive seen a bug where this has happend on the eater of worlds after i summond it.you feel an evil presence watching youplayed after i used rotted meat.
Kill in one night[edit source]
Do you have to finish it off in one night in order to not have to use another Suspicious Looking Eye? I seem to have read somewhere that it should come back every night until it is dead, but in game I have yet to confirm this. MarekkPie 05:02, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
- I have read testimonies about how the Eye continuously respawns every night until it is killed, but most label it as a bug. I have not seen official sources confirming if it's intended or not. --Cloakedboltz 03:35, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
its defiantly not true i have tried to defeat the eye cathulu and lost about 3 times
it's all about shurikens man.--Matchbox184 15:31, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
Defense[edit source]
Some monsters listed damage reduction instead of defense. I double checked all of their stats based on the decompiled source code and fixed them. Eye of Cthulhu is listed in the code as 12 defense, but I can't find where he transforms. I'm assuming First Form should have 12 defense and Second Form should have 6 defense, but I don't want to make a change if I'm not 100% certain. --KoreRekon 17:44, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
- I still can't find the transformation in the code, but based on damage reduction the second form has either 5 or 6 defense. --KoreRekon 02:19, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
The Reason of "Cthulhu"[edit source]
Somebody know a translation or the reason of that name?
Im translating the wiki to spanish and i dont undertand that name maybe the name will be "Ojo del Cthulhu", or maybe "Ojo del Demonio", im thinking too in "Ojo del Maldito" Klys 05:11, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
- Cthulhu is the name of a creature from a set of books. As a name, I'd expect it to not change in a translation. I don't know much of Spanish, but I'd assume that your first choice, Ojo del Cthulhu, would probably be the best translation, because the other proposed translations change the name Cthulhu. 188.8.131.52 23:33, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
- Cthulhu is from H.P. Lovecraft's works. It is a proper name, and so wouldn't have a translation in other languages. However, alternate spellings do exist.--fso
- The name "Cthulhu" is also supposed to be unpronouncable in any Human tongue. ;) 188.8.131.52 02:01, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
- Cthulhu is from H.P. Lovecraft's works. It is a proper name, and so wouldn't have a translation in other languages. However, alternate spellings do exist.--fso
Random Eye[edit source]
I was randomly digging around ner a shadow altar and a shadow orb and the Eye of Cthulu appeared. i did nothing to cause, and had never crafted a suspicious lloking eye. is there a reason?
- Do you have 200 HP or more, 10 defense or more, and 3 or more NPC's living with you? TheOnlyMechaDog 20:51, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Reccomended Gear?[edit source]
What's the reccomended amount o HP and gear/weapons. I've built a long paltform and I have plenty of mushrooms and HP potions, but I don't know whether to summon the Eye. Also, is it summoned as soon as you craft it or when you use it? --Hotanddangerous 15:18, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
- It doesn't summon until you actually use the item, and then only at night. It doesn't matter when you craft the suspicious eye. As for HP, more is always better. I personally had 11 hearts and a full set of silver armor when I fought him the first time, but that might be overkill. If your weapons are good, then the fight will be shorter and you won't need to survive for as long. MasterShizzle 17:34, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
read the main boss page for the eye.it asys that exact thing.--Matchbox184 15:33, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
Farming[edit source]
Is it possible to farm this boss by crafting and using more Suspicious Looking Eyes on subsequent nights after killing it once? - Spinfx 04:43, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
- Yup. You can even fight more than once per night if you have enough eyes and you kill him fast enough. Selling the demonite ore he drops can be very profitable. --GauHelldragon 09:13, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
yeah but a blood moon can come and ruin it that increases mobs spawning so dont summon it at that time unless you a quipped with like gold sword and gold bow
Weakened in 1.0.6[edit source]
When I fought it, it had only 2800 HP and transformed at 1400 HP. I also think his attack was lowered, but his defense is still the same. Confirm? 188.8.131.52 03:49, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
The health values are dead on, but when he transforms he should lose all of his defense and hit harder instead.
Creates Blood Moon?[edit source]
While fighting, instantaneously clicking eye before the moon, I got a blood moon. I did another the next night and got a blood moon. Can someone check this out?
iv'e seen it before but it has not been confimed by anyone from steam game projects.iv'e snooped around and nothing was said true.perhaps a BUG or mod?--Matchbox184 16:32, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
got smashed...[edit source]
I have a full set of copper and these weapons:Copper Broadsword,Trident,Blowpipe,Enchanted Boomerang and a Copper bow with fire and jesters arrows.also I have 7 hearts.Why'd i die???I had lots of potions and double jump so..Terrariafreakpiper
- Check out the page on strategy that's linked at the top of this article. Make sure that you're killing off the Servants of Cthulhu as it spawns them, because they will "smash" you quickly if you let them live. You could definitely use better armor, but more important is avoiding its attacks, both by killing the Servants immediately and by dodging the Eye when it charges at you. Use ranged weapons to fight so that you can position yourself better for dodging. Best of luck! -- Rhombus (T♦C) 22:36, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
New acccount from Terraria freakpiper[edit source]
Thx!that was me on my old account.I now have:heavy gold broadsword,Damaged wooden bow and a Godly spear.also, I have this armor:Copper helmet,copper greaves,Armored cloud in a bottle and a hard aglet.I have 160 health?Why'd I die this time?
- Your health is still kinda low and your armor needs to be improved. Without knowing how you died we can't help you much. Like Rhombus posted way back last September, you really should read that guide. - Spinfx 04:13, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
I beat the EoC the first night i felt it watching me with 220 hp, some ancient shadow armor i got as random drops, an annoying plat brdswrd and a silver bow with tonnes of frostburns. the important part is the frostburns. when he starts to transform, hit him with everything and sword the minions when you can.
Avoiding the Eye[edit source]
It seems that if you get an "evil presence" message, the eye won't appear if you're underground. If that's correct, then the page should mention it.
- Not more than 5 minutes after glacing through here, I got the message and was indeed attacked by the Eye while underground. Pic: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=129402066 220.127.116.11 02:18, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
You have to be in the cavern layer. At least that works with the mech bosses. Idk if it works with EoC though Anonymous132547698 (talk) 15:53, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
Damage Reduction[edit source]
I just looked here to see what this guy's defense was since it's been a while since I played. I have weapons that are dealing ~20 to every other foe with 0 defense; The Eye of Cthulhu on the other hand takes only 1-3 damage each time I hit him with the same weapons.
If his defense is 0, where is this huge reduction in damage coming from?
188.8.131.52 01:59, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
His defense only lowers after you reduce him to half health and his iris/pupil turns into a monster mouth
Mobile Bug?[edit source]
On my iPad, when spawning the Eye, the overworld day theme is played instead of the boss music and the night theme is still heard, but the volume is greatly reduced. Has anybody else encountered this?--22.214.171.124 17:42, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
Can't be summoned in the rain?[edit source]
Version 126.96.36.199 for PC: trying to use a Suspicious Looking Eye during a rainstorm seems to have no effect. Successfully Summoned EoC immediately after rain stopped.
Crimson drops in a Corruption world[edit source]
Me and my friend just defeated Cthulhu because he's new to terraria, and we have the corrupt in our world. After we killed it, the drops were crimson ore, but no crimson, or corrupt seeds? My character hasn't been on a world with a crimson biome, but my freind has, but the world is mine. Anyone like to explain? Real confused.
Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slingturtle (talk • contribs) 21:45, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- Hm, that's odd. My only guess is that it's some kind of bug. NoseOfCthulhu (talk) 03:55, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
- I just encountered this also, after defeating Cthulhu for the first time. I got 60 ore, but no seeds. I am on a Crimson world. Elvisman113 (talk) 18:33, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
Possible Bug[edit source]
I've met the Eye's requirements for 30+ nights, already encountering 2 goblin hordes already, yet I have not once seen the Eye. I've purposely not forced it's summon to see how far I could go without fighting it. Apparently, every hellstone item, the Night's Edge, and the defeat of both other bosses isn't enough. Can someone confirm whether or not this is a glitch?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk • contribs)
- The requirements have changed a bit, as you now need four NPCs. Furthermore that player that has 200 health should be the same player as the one with >10 defense, but aside from that it remains random. --0icke0 (talk) 09:24, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
The angler didn't have a house, but he was alive. You didn't beat skeletron, the old man counts. Maybe the goblin tinkerer was also there if you had a goblin invasion from the hearts. That's three NPCs. Anonymous132547698 (talk) 16:35, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
Spawned with three npc's[edit source]
It says on the page it requires three npc's to spawn, but it spawned today for me when I only had 3 npc's (Guide, Merchant, Demolitionist), but I did meet all other requirements. Maybe it is only three npc's, or maybe if you have more health / defense, the other criteria lowers. --Sjeesen (talk) 14:26, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
- I had no town NPCs (Guide was KIA my first night). I was living in a dirt tunnel, so no NPCs wanted to live there -- I met the Angler. Destroyed 3 crimson hearts, and the thing spawned. I don't think there's any NPC requirement. Kektklik (talk) 22:37, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
Quickest kill possible[edit source]
I did some calculations, though I didn't actually try it, but I discovered that it is possible to kill the eye in less than a second (22 frames) with the right endgame equipment. I'm not sure if this is something to post on the article itself, so I'll just post it here. The items used are a Legendary Meowmere, a full set of scale Beetle Armor, and Menacing Warrior Emblem, Mechanical Glove, Avenger Emblem, Destroyer Emblem, and Celestial Stone. It also includes the buffs Well Fed, Tipsy, and Wrath, and a Flask of Ichor. Critical strikes, human reflexes, and staggering are not taken into account. The battle is begun without fighting anything else in advance. The first hit deals 468 damage and takes 7 frames, leaving EoC at 2332 HP. The second deals 490 in 5 frames, bringing the total to 1842 HP 12 frames in. The third does 511 in 4 frames, to 1331 HP 16 frames in. The fourth hit and everything afterwards deal 533 damage in 2 frames each. The HP and frame count go to 798 at 18, 265 at 20, and then 0 at 22. I suppose it would go a lot quicker if a few slimes are fought first and critical strikes are made. 192.168.11.220 16:51, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
Help?[edit source]
I was fighting the boss with full platinum weapon set and a platinum chest plate with lead helm and boots, and I still lost, does the boss difficulty increase with the weapons you are using? MagicalSniper (talk) 16:07, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- No, the only time any bosses will be stronger than usual is in Expert Mode. As for the Eye of Cthulhu, I can personally recommend a Cloud in a Bottle and full Silver Armor. There's a lot more in-depth info on the guide page, and if you still don't find what you're looking for there, you could always ask for help at official forum, where you're likely to get more responses. –KM100 (talk) 16:42, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- but I thought that Platinum armor would be stronger then Silver Armor? so my chainmail would be better? MagicalSniper (talk) 15:47, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- Platinum armor is better, it is the equivalent of Gold Armor and the best metal armor you can get before Demonite/Crimtane. Mind296 (talk) 17:07, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- Wearing a full set of the same armor will give you a set bonus (e.g. 3 extra defense), so wearing a higher-level chestplate may actually reduce your defense. If you can get a full set of Platinum armor you'll be more than set, but a full set of Silver or Tungsten armor is far easier to get, and works pretty well. –KM100 (talk) 17:12, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- Platinum armor is better, it is the equivalent of Gold Armor and the best metal armor you can get before Demonite/Crimtane. Mind296 (talk) 17:07, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- but I thought that Platinum armor would be stronger then Silver Armor? so my chainmail would be better? MagicalSniper (talk) 15:47, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
Something odd again.[edit source]
I was farming some Eyes and after killing one of them I tried to summon another one, the item was consumed, the message did appear and I heard the roar, but the music did not change and the Eye never appeared. I also could not use another suspicious looking eye.
Does anybody have an idea what's going on? 126.96.36.199 18:51, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Demorea Stringfellow is a big, strong, muscular wide receiver at Moreno Valley (Calif.) Rancho Verde that could become a big-time recruit much like a former star at that school - Ronald Powell, the top-rated player in the 2010 class who signed with Florida.
Stringfellow, a 6-foot-2, 185-pound recruit in the 2013 class, might not get so heavily recruited but he said last weekend at a 7-on-7 event at UCLA that people always say he looks a lot like Powell and that it's definitely a compliment.
"They always say that," Stringfellow said. "We have the same body size and people say I look like him when he was younger.
Article Continues Below
"As long as I'm getting playing time it doesn't matter what position I play. I love the game of football and I've been playing receiver ever since I started so I'd like to stay there if I could."
A few days after Stringfellow performed well at the UCLA 7-on-7 the Bruins were the first team to offer the Rancho Verde standout who said he's also hearing from USC, Nebraska and Arizona.
It's still early in his recruitment and other teams are sure to get involved once they see how developed he is physically. He's only going into his junior season so things are expected to keep looking up.
Two years ago it was Powell that got recruited by USC, Florida and many other teams across the country. Last recruiting cycle the two big-time names at Rancho Verde were wide receiver Junior Pomee and cornerback Ryan Henderson, who both signed with Southern Cal.
Now it could be Stringfellow's turn over the next couple years to get even more exposure, pick up some more offers and probably play for a big-time program. He does have an early favorite and now Stringfellow wants to see if a certain Pac-12 school will get in the mix.
"I would love to go to Oregon," Stringfellow said. "It's beautiful out there. It's a nice environment and I love everything about it."

Because we can all use some holiday cheer, and also an IM conversation with a cat (because why not?), here are 10 seasonal things to dig, courtesy of Hilarity in Shoes. Comfort and joy indeed.

Oh, BOY, does this Gulf Coast kid identify with Katelin Taylor here. Though Northern folks swear up and down that DC is unabashedly southern, and Southerners think this is the frozen tundra, the Southern accent is a dead giveaway that some of us are not, in fact, from around here…

And to take us out this pre-holiday weekend, a little unexpected light from The Gold Puppy.
This is my last post of 2011, as I will be Internet-less in the rural South this holiday season. Have a beautiful holiday, one and all, and a fabulous New Year. See all y'all in 2012!

Hall of Fame Jockey Mike Smith, who won the Oceanside Stakes race on opening day at the Del Mar Racetrack on Wednesday, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving by San Diego police later that night.
A patrol officer pulled over Smith, 44, after watching him drive well below the speed limit and weave across the lanes of Carmel Valley Road about 11:55 p.m., police Lt. Andra Brown said.
Brown said Smith stopped his 2011 Range Rover on Via Abertura, where the officer gave him a coordination test. Smith was taken to police headquarters, given two breath-alcohol tests, then booked into jail on suspicion of drunken driving. Brown did not release the test results. Smith's hearing is set for Sept. 1.
Smith reportedly told the officer he won the Oceanside Stakes race earlier in the day, and that he was "nearly home" after having left a restaurant.
After making bail, Smith was at the racetrack Thursday morning and worked the top sprinter Amazombie for trainer Bill Spawr. Smith rode in two races Thursday afternoon and failed to win.
"I'm just disappointed in myself," Smith said after riding Tap It Twice in the fifth race. "I had a couple glasses of wine and I was going home. I was going faster than I should have been. I pulled over and thought I was fine. But I only weigh 110 pounds. It doesn't take much. It was a mistake and I'll learn from it."
Joe Harper, chief executive officer for the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, had no comment when asked if Smith's arrest would impact the Aug. 7 match race between Smith and jockey Chantal Sutherland.
"It's really a legal matter and I have no comment," Harper said.
The arrest was not part of a Sheriff's Department DUI enforcement effort in the area around the racetrack, Brown said, though 15 people were arrested on suspicion of DUI after the races. She said a patrol officer noted Smith was driving 25 mph in a 45 mph zone and weaving into oncoming traffic lanes and the bicycle lane.
Smith won the $112,000 Oceanside Stakes on Mr. Commons, a 3-year-old Preakness runner, for trainer John Shirreffs. Smith is most highly recognized now after being Zenyatta's rider during much of her incredible campaign.
Smith won the Preakness in 1993, the Kentucky Derby in 2005, the Belmont Stakes in 2010, and was inducted into the Racing Hall of Fame in 2003.

Western Union's Telegram to Silicon Valley: We're Ready to Compete
(Page 2 of 4)
making sure we are designing the next generation of products that we bring to market."
Much of the energy driving WU Digital will come from Fellahi himself. Born in Morocco and educated in France, he joined Western Union a decade ago and made his name running the company's Africa operations. Mobile devices were sweeping the continent during these years, and when wireless operators such as Vodafone began giving mobile subscribers access to stored-value accounts several years ago, Fellahi pushed to get Western Union involved. Today, he says, WU partners with eight mobile operators in Africa, allowing subscribers in 14 countries to move money across borders into their stored-value accounts.
In 2010 Fellahi got a chance to apply what he'd learned in Africa as the head of WU's Mobile Transaction Services group. Then in 2011, CEO Hikmet Ersek named him to lead the company's new digital business. Fellahi promptly moved to San Francisco—where the company had no previous presence—and started laying the groundwork for the China Basin office.
Fellahi and I talked about everything from Western Union's innovation strategy to the company's business model in an era when it might have to look beyond money-transfer fees for revenue. Below is an edited transcript. (By the way, Western Union stopped handling telegrams in 2006, so apologies for the anachronistic headline—I couldn't resist.)
Xconomy: What are Western Union's big reasons for starting a new digital division?
Khalid Fellahi: We have this great asset of an extraordinary network around the globe, and we continue to build the fundamentals of our cash-to-cash business [where customers put down cash at a Western Union location to initiate an international transfer that terminates in cash at the other end]. The question was how do we accelerate our digital business, taking into account the assets we have? We are successful and will be successful only because of the combination of assets that we have. Even if digital is a small portion of our business today, we have the largest footprint of any money transfer company in the world. So how can we revamp our consumer experience and start investing in new technologies and new talent, products, and services that put us on a growth trajectory?
X: Why put WU Digital in San Francisco?
FK: After I took over the digital business in January 2011, the first six months were about rethinking all of our strategy, and we spent a couple of months with a task force right here in San Francisco to figure out the new trajectory of growth. Interestingly, we had nothing in San Francisco, not even an office. I took a bunch of apartments on Third Street and said, you know, we have to be in a place where we can think differently and go after talent, and that is easier to source here than anywhere else in the world. If you want to something in the digital space, you can't make a mistake if you do it in San Francisco.
By the fourth quarter of 2011 we had a plan and an agreement, and by January of 2012 we had this office. It was just a shell, but I started hiring people right away, and we camped out here with about five or six people, the advance party, for four months. We started hiring, and while all of this was being remodeled we kept hiring and we haven't stopped.
X: Most of Western Union's business involves money transfers across international borders. Is San Francisco a good place to be based if you're trying to figure out how to build a better mobile payment system for someone in Africa or Asia?
FK: I always go back to the basics. It's about understanding the customer. For example, I talk to taxi drivers all the time. They're usually from a different country. If I have a 20-minute drive, I talk to them, and I say, I see you have a Blackberry or an iPhone. Did you know that we have an app that will allow you to send money home while you are waiting at the airport for your next customer and it will take you five minutes the first time and after that … Next Page »

I have a friend who is having numbness in her legs and slightly slurred speech after experiencing an orgasm last evening. What could be wrong with her?

You might want to discuss this with her. Does she know it happened to her? Was this the first time? What happens to her after an orgasm during masturbation? Was her vision affected?
This is one of the times when I think it is better to err on the side of caution and see a doctor. Just to make sure it is nothing serious or a small stroke.
It can be just a natural reaction to the high levels of hormones released in her brain and blood after orgasm. Or she did not breath on her way to the orgasm. Her body goes through a lot of stress and tension during sex. Especially the slurred speech is a sign that she should see her doctor to make sure things at ok.
Take care!

If you are like most schools and have difficult positions to fill, many of which are managed by faculty search committees and take a while, this statistic is quite important.
Job Advertising is about eyeball viewership, as well as click-through rates; if the job isn't seen, it can't be clicked on. Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) can track who actually gets to their jobs quite well, and advertising organizations can often track click-throughs of many types of ads. Did you know that unless a job-board actually delivers the applicant directly to the URL of your job, upwards of 40% of the applicants will abandon the search, further hampering statistical tracking?
Unfortunately, direct-to-URL is often out of the control of the job-board,unless they have the technology to reverse-engineer the link.
What is in the job-board's control is how many prospective applicants (hopefully good ones) see your job? If you have an appealing job you will get the clicks to your site. Some higher volume job-boards get lots of applicants fast, but your job may be published for only 2-4 weeks. Other job-boards have longer posting times and can provide much more volume over time; they actually are better values if you are not in a time-crunch.
To answer why Views/Job/Month matters, consider the following three scenarios:
Which is the best? The answer lies in how fast you are looking to fill the role; on average:
Job-board 1 can get 180 views and 27 applicants in 3 weeks, or about $8.52 per applicant
Job-board 2 can get 60 views and 6 applicants in 6 weeks, or about $41.67 per applicant.
Job-board 3 can get 490 views and 25 applicants in 14 weeks, or about $4.00 per applicant.
Do you need a tortoise or a hare, or a combination of both? Generally speaking, a combination works best when the opportunity presents itself. Applicants aren't always there when you post the job opening.

Little girls love princesses.
Growing up, my favorite was Ariel. I thought she had the prettiest voice I'd ever heard. On the ride home after seeing "The Little Mermaid" in the movie theater, I decided I wanted to be a singer.
I was 4.
I honestly didn't think much about her little seashell bra at the time, either, nor did it really bother me as I grew older. She is a mermaid, after all!
Now, I'm a little more aware of what girls (Disney princesses included) are wearing in movies. I appreciate and root for "realness" and modesty just as much as the next person.
But I've been a little surprised at the controversy surrounding Disney Pixar's other redheaded princess, the feisty Merida.
In preparation for her official induction into the Disney Princess Collection, the fiery "Brave" princess received a 2-D makeover that included more eyeliner, a smaller waistline, tamer hair and a slightly off-the-shoulder gown.
She was changed, parents worried, to look more "sexy."
For the record, I disagree with that description. She looked a little different, yes, and perhaps more grown-up with character makeup, but I think "sexy" is a bit of a stretch. (But, while we're on the subject, how come none of these parent's have an issue with Jasmine's belly-baring gown? Or Tiana's completely strapless dress?)
Anyway, the Merida image circled the Internet and received a huge online backlash, including protests for Disney to change the picture and "Keep Merida Brave."
Meaning, non-glamorous.
Even creator Brenda Chapman was appalled at the new look, telling the Marin Independent Journal that she created Merida to "break the mold — to give young girls a better, stronger role model, a more attainable role model, something of substance, not just a pretty face that waits around for romance."
Chapman went on to tell CNN, "Merida wouldn't be caught dead looking like that and I think that's what's angering everyone. They've (Disney) totally lost sight of the character in this new design."
But, Disney disagrees.
"The artwork used on Merida's official social media sites has always been the imagery from the movie — there have been no changes," read a statement from Disney on www.today.com. "We routinely use different art styles with our characters and this rendition of Merida in her party dress was a special one-time effort to commemorate her coronation."
And a source familiar with the product line said, "For a wedding or prom, even a tomboy is going to dress up for a special occasion. That doesn't change who she is or who she will continue to be or who she remains on the Disney websites or in most of the products."
Well, we know parents are sure up in arms about the new, "fake" version of Merida. I can understand that. They don't want their daughters to think of Disney princesses as overly glamorized, sultry beauties whose sole purpose in life is to win over Prince Charming and live in a castle.
But hold on a minute. What do girls REALLY think?
I decided to call on some of my favorite little princesses and find out.
I interviewed some of my nieces and their friends privately over the phone without any prompts or help from either myself or their parents.
Here are some of their answers. They're really quite fascinating!
Question: What makes a princess?
Jacquelyn, age 8, said a princess is someone who is "always kind, and never mean to people."
Bridgette, 6, said princesses are "nice and pretty."
Six-year-old Hallie said, "A princess is someone who's brave. You are a princess by being someone's friend."
Mia, 7, said, "You have to be royal and kind to others."
Interesting. Most didn't mention "beauty" as a requirement.
Question: Who is your favorite princess and why?
Sarah, 7, said "Ariel, because she's a mermaid."
Evelyn, 3, said "All of the princesses!"
Hallie said Belle, because "she's smart!"
Jacquelyn said "Jasmine, because she's courageous."
Question: Do you think you're a princess? What do you have to do to become one?
Cozette, 6, giggled and said, "No! But you have to be nice to others. I am nice, but I would have to be even more nice (to be a princess)."
Jacquelyn said, "Yes." When asked if you have to be pretty, she quickly responded, "No! You don't have to be pretty. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside, it matters how pretty you are on the inside!" (For the record, Jacquelyn is a very beautiful little girl — all of them are.)
Bridgette said, "Anybody can be a princess."
Hallie said, "You need to be nice to your friends and family."
Evelyn, my spunky little mini-me, said, "I don't want to be a princess because every time I try to wear their dresses, my hair gets caught and it hurts."
These sweet, honest answers both surprised and amazed me. Here is the core Disney demographic, ages 3 to 8, telling me what they think it means to be a princess. And very rarely did any of them mention dresses, makeup or high heels. And not ONE brought up Prince Charming!
To these little girls, being a princess means being a good person. They don't notice or pay attention to princesses being "sexualized." Could it be that, possibly, we parents are the only ones worried about such a thing? That our insecurities are being projected on our children?
Chapman argues that Merida was finally a princess that a girl could look up to. But I disagree.
What about Mulan, a girl who disguises herself as a boy and joins the army to fight in her father's place, clad in heavy armor throughout most of the film and learns to love herself exactly the way she is?
Or Cinderella, a poor housemaid taking care of her family with little complaint, who wears nothing but rags most of the film and never gives up hope?
Or Belle, who only becomes a princess after she learns how to truly love someone for who they are inside?
Or Pocahontas, who is willing to literally lay down her life to protect her friend, pleading understanding and tolerance for others whom we think are different?
I think Disney has always celebrated the "inner princess." In fact, in most Disney films, the big ball gowns and glass slippers aren't introduced until the end of the movie. It's the imperfect, "normal" girls we all fall in love with, right from the get-go, and the single most common trait the young girls relate to in being a princess is, in the words of my 6-year-old niece Cozette, "having a big heart."
I think we need to stop worrying and give our beautiful little princesses more credit. It's fun to play dress-up and look "pretty," but we don't need to worry that's all our girls will think of when they look at a Disney princess.18 comments on this story
Chances are, their sweet innocent eyes see past the "perfect" and focus on the important qualities each unique Disney princess — and little girl — possess.
Just for fun, I asked my two boys their thoughts.
"Is Mommy a princess?" I asked with a wink.
"Not yet!" my 4-year-old replied.
Not exactly the answer I was hoping for!
"Who is a princess?"
"Grandma!" my 2-year-old declared.
Yes, indeed. Princesses take time, and I hope to one day be as "kind," "nice," "friendly" and "courageous" as my dear princess mother who continues to be an example of what being a queen in training is all about.

Derm News: 2007.10(8)
Experimental elicitation with hydroxyisohexyl-3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde-containing deodorants
Contact Dermatitis, 56(3):146-150
Hydroxyisohexyl-3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde (HICC) known as Lyral® is a frequent allergen. It is used in more than 50% of marketed deodorants.
The aim of the present study was to determine elicitation thresholds for HICC under simulated conditions of deodorant use. 15 patients with previously diagnosed contact allergy to HICC were patch tested with 5 solutions of HICC-scented and HICC-unscented deodorants.
Patients and 10 healthy controls performed a use test in the axillae using deodorants scented with HICC in increasing concentrations and unscented deodorants as control. The concentration of HICC was increased every second week (200, 600, and 1800 p.p.m.) until either a reaction developed or for 6 weeks. 14 patients completed the study, and all developed unilateral eczema from the HICC-containing deodorant, while controls were all negative (P = 0.004). In 9/14 patients, a positive use test developed during the first 2 weeks to the deodorant containing 200 p.p.m. HICC.
Positive correlations were found between the day of positive use and patch test threshold concentration of the HICC solutions (r = 0.71, P = 0.01) as well as the patch test thresholds of the HICC-scented deodorants (r = 0.74, P = 0.007). In conclusion, HICC elicits allergic contact dermatitis in a high proportion of sensitized individuals at common usage concentrations in deodorants.

Slice of local life: Larry Wyatt – a hands-on approach to music
There's an enthusiastic tone in Larry Wyatt's voice as he demonstrates a unique wooden instrument that sits on the floor in the front of his May Street School music classroom. "These are "Studio 49" German-engineered xylophone bass boxes. They're set up so we can play in the key of C, which is the same for my ukuleles." With large mallets, Larry deftly plays a bass line that could be used in any number of simple folk songs, and then plays the first few measures of "Ode to Joy." Full, rich, bell-like tones resonate around the room.

Russia's ban on food imports from the likes of the European Union and the US may lift domestic prices, but could raise food inventories in exporting countries, the United Nations said.
Abdolreza Abbassian, senior economist at the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, said that the "first casualties" of the Russia's curbs "would be the domestic market", with the country, a major importer of the likes of meat, fruit and dairy, likely to pay more to meet its needs from other origins.
However, the ban "will have some implications for farmers in the producing countries" too, Mr Abbassian said, flagging the potential, with Russian buyers absent, for a rise in inventories – a factor which might be expected to depress local prices.
The comments come as investors are attempting to gauge the impact on agricultural commodity markets of Russia's move on Wednesday to curb imports from some countries that have taken sanctions against Moscow over the Ukraine crisis.
The exact extent of the curbs is also unclear, although Aleksei Alekseenko, an aide to the regulator in charge of food inspections, said late on Wednesday that "everything [in the agricultural sector] that is produced and imported to Russia from the United States will be banned.
"Fruit and vegetables from the European Union will also be under a full ban."
Mr Abbassian told Reuters that "this is an exceptional situation where one cannot generalise on global food security" and that their impact on prices would be limited.
In the Chicago futures market, wheat – of which Russia and Ukraine are both major importers, and price of which prices have become a proxy for regional tensions – fell 0.7% to $5.64 ½ a bushel for September delivery, as of 05:30 local time (11:30 UK time).
Nonetheless, prices are up some 5% so far in August, having gained some ground ahead thanks to a rise in Russian troop movements at the border with Ukraine, even before the announcement of import curbs.
In the US, Brian Henry at broker Benson Quinn Commodities flagged market talk "of embargoing Russian wheat" as a response to Moscow's ban, although "I have strong doubts that a programme of this nature would find much participation".
With Russia a rich source of competitively priced wheat, a widespread ban its exports, even if workable, would have implications for food availability in importing countries.
Still, Mr Henry added that "this issue could escalate quickly, and this year's flow of grain will undoubtedly be different than last year considering quality problems and geopolitical issues".
Quality problems have emerged in the US, Ukraine and, in particular, the European Union thanks to harvest-time rains, which encourage kernel sprouting and reducing milling appeal – although Russia is one country where such issues do not seem widespread.
Nikolai Fyodorov, the Russian agriculture minister, said on Thursday that he expected the ban on food imports to have no effect on the country's grains exports, expected to hit 25m tonnes in 2014-15, he said, compared with 25.4m tonnes last season.
From a technical perspective, the rise in Chicago wheat prices has also been fuelled by a covering by hedge funds of short positions, with speculators having their second highest net short holding in futures and options combined as of Tuesday last week, the latest data available.
"The market has developed a large enough short position created this sort of action," Sterling Smith at Citigroup said, referring to a 3% bounce in prices on Wednesday.
From a chart perspective, Chicago futures in the last session did complete the retracement of 23.6% of their latest run down, a key point for followers of Fibonacci analysis.
"The 38.2% retracement level is at $6.07 a bushel," Mr Smith said.
"While do think this level is too far, political tensions of the type we are seeing can lead to irrational behaviour much like what we saw earlier this year."
Mr Abbassian was speaking after the UN FAO unveiled monthly world food price data showing a fall in values of 2.2% over July to a six-month low.
Cereals prices dropped 5.5% to a four-year low, "a reaction to excellent production prospects in many major producing countries and to the anticipation of abundant exportable supplies in the 2014-15 marketing season", the agency said.
Concepción Calpe, FAO senior economist, said that "the lingering decline of food prices since March reflects much better expectations over supplies in the current and forthcoming seasons, especially for cereals and oils, a situation that is expected to facilitate rebuilding of world stocks".
Dairy prices dropped 4.4%, thanks to confidence in supplies at a time when "purchases of butter by Islamic countries declined during Ramadan, as did those by the Russian Federation," the FAO said.
"For whole milk powder, limited purchases by China, the largest importer, contributed to a price drop."
Meat prices bucked the trend, edging 0.4% higher to their highest on records going back to January 1990.
"The increase was principally due to a strong rise of bovine meat prices in Australia, where herd rebuilding has reduced export supplies, and continued strong import demand in Asia, China in particular."
Ms Calpe said: "Livestock product markets have their own dynamics - in the case of meat, beef in particular, many exporting countries are in a herd rebuilding phase, which is limiting availability for exports and sustaining prices."

Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States
November 9, 2012
The Cato Institute recently released a report that includes details that were missed by the 2009 report from the U.S. Global Change Research Program regarding global climate change.
- The earth has experienced two warming periods in the past 160 years: one from 1910 to 1940 and from 1976 to 1998.
- Warming will likely be at the low end of reports from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) at only 2.9 degrees Fahrenheit.
- But, the global average temperature since 1900 has already risen by about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Moreover, reducing carbon emission by over 80 percent will have no measurable effect on the global climate.
While the 2009 report stressed that the United States should cut emissions to avoid the devastating impacts of climate change, the Cato Institute found that this is simply not the case. To begin with, any reductions in carbon emissions would not be able to offset the output from industries in emerging countries like China, India and the rest of the developing world.
After including data that had been left out, the report finds that:
- Climate change will occur in the United States, but the impacts of climate change have little national significance.
- Water resources will be affected by climate change.
- Crop and livestock will adapt to climate change and maintain high yields.
- Sea level rises as a result of warming are easy to adapt to.
- Life expectancy and wealth are likely to increase.
- Climate change is a minor overlay on U.S. society.
- Species and ecosystems will change with or without climate change.
- Finally, policies to curb emissions have little effect on global temperature.

These Companies May Not be Around After 2013
At the start of 2012, Fitch Ratings forecast the amount and size of U.S. corporate bankruptcies would double. If there is any good news on this front, it is that for the 12 months ending September 30, Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 corporate filings fell, though Chapter 13 filings modestly rose.
Still, there have been some noteworthy companies to travel Bankruptcy Boulevard, most recently Twinkies maker Hostess joined that group. Companies come and companies go. That is the nature of capitalism. With that in mind, what follows is a list of familiar companies that may not make it through 2013.
The caveat here, and it is an important one, is that not all of these companies are bankruptcy candidates. One member of the list is already there. Another could go belly-up, but it could also unload enough assets to stave off that situation.
AMR (OTC: AAMRQ) The parent company of American airlines is already in bankruptcy, which it filed for last year. American, once the largest U.S. carrier, is familiar with bankruptcy. The Texas-based company flirted with bankruptcy in 2009 and threatened bankruptcy in 2003 to force its employees to make wage concessions.
American has been punished by a variety of factors, not just rising oil prices. That issue faces all airlines. High labor costs, another issue for most airlines, have been troublesome for American. As has customer service. As in American's customer service ranks at or near the bottom of an industry not really known for treating its customers all that well.
It has been quite a road for once proud American, the only major legacy carrier not to seek bankruptcy protection after the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001. In fact, American was able to play vulture and buy rival TWA out of bankruptcy court. In ironic twist of fate, the last best hope for American is for US Airways (NYSE: LCC) to buy it out of bankruptcy.
Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK) The second-largest U.S. natural gas producer has spent what feels like most of 2012 doing one thing: Selling assets to raise cash to reduce its massive and appease activist shareholder Carl Icahn. Chesapeake has solid everything from shale acreage to pipeline interests to cut into a a debt-to-equity ratio of almost 1.1 and a long-term debt-to-equity ratio of 1.03.
The company has sold enough assets to make it through 2012, but it is facing a cash crunch for 2013 and the possibility of almost $11.4 billion in debt at the end of next year.
Chesapeake may not be the most logical bankruptcy candidates if for no other reason than Ichan recently boosted his stake in the firm and he would be apt to force an outright sale of breakup of the company before a bankruptcy. That is assuming Icahn is committed to Chesapeake for a couple of more quarters. With all that debt and low natural gas prices, Chesapeake's pickings are slim when it comes to potential suitors.
MEMC Electronic Materials (NYSE: WFR) It has been a dreadful year for solar companies, both of the American and Chinese variety. Just look at the chart of the Guggenheim Solar ETF (NYSE: TAN).
To be fair, MEMC has jumped over 41 percent in the past month as the company procured some critical financing for a South Africa project and the company's market cap has surged since GMI Ratings notedMEMC was a bankruptcy risk earlier this year.
The news has been better for MEMC recently, but that does not obfuscate the fact that it has a debt-to-equity ratio of 3.94.

Gas storage companies hit back at Davey
Gas storage developers have hit back at Ed Davey after the energy secretary called for more facilities to be built to combat the prospect of Russia turning off gas supplies to Europe as the conflict in Ukraine escalates.
The developers said that when they made the same argument about security of supply last year — which was put forward by Mr Davey in The Times yesterday — it had "fallen on deaf ears".
The industry had been lobbying the government to grant subsidies to ensure that building the projects, which would bolster Britain's gas reserves, was economic.
When ministers refused to grant subsidies in September, Centrica cancelled its £1.5 billion Baird gas storage project off the coast of Norfolk, which would have increased Britain's storage…

Abstractions on Paper. The current show at the city's coziest little art shop, the Emil Nelson Gallery, is a fascinating group endeavor put together by director Hugo Anderson. The exhibit combines historic and contemporary works in the forms of watercolors, prints, drawings and photos by more than two dozen artists -- making it a very big presentation, considering how small the Emil Nelson Gallery is. The mood is classic modernist with some very choice items by major artists, including Elaine deKooning, Stanley Hayter, Mauricio Lasansky and, of course, Herbert Bayer, a gallery favorite. Though the late Bayer, who was an Aspen resident, has been included in shows here before, the watercolors in this one are being publicly exhibited for the first time. One of them, an abstraction based on nature from the 1940s, has a decidedly Colorado look, having been done soon after he moved here. Among the regional contemporary artists in the show are Lanse Kleaveland, Sarah Vaeth and Irene Watts. Like the historic artists, these current practitioners have embraced classic abstraction. Through June 26 at the Emil Nelson Gallery, 1307 Bannock Street, 303-534-0996. Reviewed May 6.
Dale Chisman: New Paintings. With Dale Chisman: New Paintings at the Rule Gallery, Denver abstractionist Dale Chisman has done it again: He's come up with a fresh batch of sophisticated works of art, as he always does. Chisman is, of course, the dean of the city's modernist painters. His artistic career stretches back to the 1960s, when he was in college. It's been two years since he's shown his work in town, but given the strength of this eponymous solo, it was definitely worth the wait. In this group of recent paintings, Chisman has clearly changed his style. But as radical as they appear, they still bear a relationship to his classic work of the '80s and '90s. Like those, these latest paintings feature compositions of shapes that are roughly geometric and have been laid over colored grounds. And though he's long used automatist lines applied instinctually to fill out his pictures, in these current pieces, the lines have become dense webs of paint that all but obscure the arrangement of forms underneath. With these thoroughly original paintings that look completely new, good old Chisman has been rejuvenated. Through June 26 at Rule Gallery, 111 Broadway, 303-777-9473. -- Reviewed June 3
Dots, Blobs and Angels. Denver's Museum of Contemporary Art is presenting an enormous solo that is dedicated to the late David Rigsby, an artist who played a big part in the local art scene in the '70s and '80s. The exhibit was organized by director Cydney Payton, who installed it more or less chronologically, allowing Rigsby's stylistic development to shine throughout. The oldest works in the show are two oils on book covers done when Rigsby was a little boy; the newest were done right before he died in a car accident in 1993 -- some of these were done on book covers, too. In between, Rigsby created scores of abstract and figural paintings, as well as a body of remarkable sculptures made of wood and recycled rubber. The outlandish title, Dots, Blobs and Angels, refers to some of the things Rigsby depicted -- though much of what he sculpted during his forty-year-plus career defies description. Clearly, it's one of the hottest shows of the summer. Through September 19 at the Museum of Contemporary Art/Denver, 1275 19th Street, 303-298-7554.
The Painter's Eye: Colorado and the West. There's been increasing interest in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century art of the American West. LoDo's David Cook Fine Art has made this kind of thing its specialty, and the gallery's latest must-see offering is The Painter's Eye: Colorado and the West, which includes more than a hundred historic paintings, drawings and prints. Many of the artists in the show were associated with the famous Western art schools, including Colorado's Broadmoor Academy and the Laguna Art Association in California. There is an extensive group of tradition landscapes by local master Charles Partridge Adams, as well as gorgeous impressionist and expressionist paintings by the likes of Birger Sandzén and Edgar Alwin Payne. In addition to these viewer-friendly kinds of things, there are also examples of more advanced art, in particular social realism, including pieces by Boardman Robinson and Peppino Mangravite, and even modernism, with work by vanguard figures such as Andrew Dasburg and Doel Reed. Through June 26 at David Cook Fine Art, 1637 Wazee Street, 303-623-8181.

Painting a New World. There are no famous artists in the Denver Art Museum's current blockbuster, but even without that kind of draw, it really shouldn't be missed. Donna Pierce, the museum's curator of Spanish Colonial art, organized it in-house, which means that it's a rare bird -- a traveling show that's actually departing from Denver instead of arriving here. The local origin is reason enough to check it out, but there are fifty other reasons, too: the magnificent paintings. Pierce started working on the project in 1999, when she was hired. Many of the pieces are from the collection of Jan and Fred Mayer, longtime museum donors, but Pierce not only hunted for things here in town, she also searched for them in the museums and private collections of Mexico and Europe. Many of the works on display are the kind we'd expect -- Spanish baroque religious paintings -- but others are completely unexpected, such as two unforgettable paintings carried out in feathers, an art form associated with the Aztecs. Through July 25 at the Denver Art Museum, 100 West 14th Avenue Parkway, 720-865-5000. Reviewed April 29.
scene Colorado/sin Colorado. The Denver Art Museum's local extravaganza, scene Colorado/sin Colorado, has quickly become one of the most talked-about shows this year. And that's no surprise considering that it includes more than three dozen Colorado artists represented by more than seventy works of art. Dianne Vanderlip, curator of modern and contemporary art, organized the exhibit, pulling work from the impressive holdings of the DAM's permanent collection. A couple of the artists included no longer live here -- notably Gary Sweeney, whose piece inspired the show's title, and "genius grant" recipient Robert Adams -- but their works in this show were created when they did. Vanderlip decided to exclude deceased Colorado artists -- and that's too bad. However, even with this limitation, she's undeniably assembled a worthy cavalcade of talent. The pieces date back over the past quarter century, which is the period during which Vanderlip has held the modern and contemporary reins at the DAM. Though far from encyclopedic, the show does cover a lot of ground. Through August 22 at the Denver Art Museum, 100 West 14th Avenue Parkway, 720-865-5000. Reviewed June 17.
State of the Union and The Sociable Anchorite. Earlier this season, Cordell Taylor Gallery and Ron Judish Fine Art merged into the new +Zeile/Judish Gallery, which meant that some of the artists represented by each gallery would have to go. They put the artists into three categories: represented, exhibiting, and those who were unceremoniously shown the door. The first category --artists represented by the gallery -- is the subject of the great group show State of the Union. Most of the artists chosen are thoroughly established figures, including realist John Hull, abstract expressionist Al Wynne, minimalist Paul Sarkisian and post-minimalist Bruce Price. But there are also a handful of emerging artists, such as Colin Livingston and Karen McClanahan. The result is wild, requiring aesthetic gear changes every few feet. In addition to State of the Union, +Zeile/Judish is presenting a small solo, The Sociable Anchorite, for which Oregon artist Gabriel Liston created a wall of tiny paintings of storybook figures. They're done in blue on white, which makes them look like Delft tiles. Through July 3 at +Zeile/Judish, 2350 Lawrence Street, 303-296-0927. Reviewed June 17.
Telling Fantasies and Manor House Races. Interest in figural painter Irene Delka McCray's work has been on the upswing lately, making her new Pirate solo, Telling Fantasies, a hot prospect. There's no denying McCray's technical skill, which is one reason why she has work in the Denver Art Museum collection. Her older pieces -- like the one at the DAM -- are lyrical, but in recent years she's moved more toward a goth aesthetic. These new works address sex and death, and the resulting paintings are not pretty -- but they are pretty interesting. Also at Pirate is Manor House Races, featuring work by Julie Puma, who creates mixed-media pieces that combine photo imagery, printmaking, words and lots of scribbles. Her style owes a debt to pop art, which is all the rage right now. In addition, there are other attractions at the Pirate co-op and at HazMat, which is the new name for ILK @ Pirate. All of the shows open on Friday, June 25, with a reception set for 7 to 10 p.m. Through July 11 at Pirate: a contemporary art oasis, 3659 Navajo Street, 303-458-6058.

Concert Club brought Nate Ruess, lead vocalist for alt-rock band fun., and the Campus Consciousness Tour Village (pictured above and left) to Union on Friday.
The goal of the Campus Consciousness Tour is to connect "Millenials' favorite bands with social and environmental causes to inspire and activate the next generation of change makers on campuses across the country," according to the Reverb website. This year's tour partnered with NextGen Climate, Ben & Jerry's and HeadCount. The Campus Consciousness Tour Village contained booths dedicated to these organizations.
The Nate Ruess concert saw about 300 attendees, according to Concert Club President Stephanie Dick '16. This attendance is in keeping with past Concert Club events, as the Andy Grammer and Matt & Kim concerts, in winter 2015 and fall 2013, had similar attendances.
Correction: An earlier version of this article stated that the Andy Grammer concert occurred in the spring of 2015. The concert actually took place on Jan. 31, 2015.

At first I thought they just didn't hang a lot because when they are in the same room their butts automatically touch but guess I was wrong…Here is what sources say…
"Beyonce is always very cordial with Kim, but she's keeping her distance. … The
Kardashians are not what I'd call inside her comfort zone. At the end of the
day, even though Bey can be very flamboyant on stage when she's performing,
she's basically a pretty private, even somewhat shy person. Don't get me wrong,
she's a strong personality and makes her opinions very clear, but she's not into
what I'd call 'personal flamboyance' — like what you see from the Kardashians. …
You will never see Beyonce doing a reality show — that's for sure. You know what
I'm saying?"
I do not blame Beyonce I mean the seem to be drastically different people! First and foremost Beyonce got famous and didn't even need a sex tape or a nip slip! Kim K exactly the opposite! Must make it tough though since Kanye West and Jay-Z are so tight!
Do you have that one person that no matter what you just can not stand being around them!?

PGAM1 Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total PGAM1 protein.
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Pro128 of human PGAM1 protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Phosphoglycerate mutase (PGAM1) catalyzes the conversion of 3-phosphoglycerate to 2-phosphoglycerate during glycolysis (1-5). Research studies have shown increased PGAM1 expression in cancer (1-4) and mental disease (5). Specifically, PGAM1 was shown to be phosphorylated at His11 by phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) in PKM2-expressing cells, suggesting a possible regulatory role for PGAM1 in actively proliferating cells via an alternative glycolytic pathway (1).

With temperatures topping 104 F in France finding a fan is next to impossible, the New York Times reports.
Room air-conditioners exist -- they involve hoses of air -- but window units such as those found in the United States are rare because most French windows open like a book.
Air conditioning in restaurants isn't common because many French think the wild temperature swings can cause sore throats and cultivate germs.
However, one type of public building in France that does seem to have air conditioning is the department store so many people have been shopping -- or at least browsing -- during the current heat wave.
Television often is blamed for causing childhood obesity but two children's acts in Australia want to be part of the solution.
"Hi-Energy" is aimed at getting young bodies off the couch and on the move in Australia's first TV aerobics show for children.
Self-confessed former fat kid Scott Ehler and exercise physiology graduate Amy Wilkins are set to be the next big thing in the lucrative kids' entertainment genre with their blend of musical fun and fitness messages, the Sydney Morning Sun-Herald reports.
The duo will soon be seen twice each week day, in both the morning and afternoon children's programming slots.
After several weeks of fire, aggravated by a heat wave and a prolonged drought, a plague of silkworms is threatening a Russian forest.
Efforts to combat the onslaught of the silkworms through traditional pest control methods have failed, so foresters around Lake Baykal, in Siberia, have had to devise new measures.
The foresters are resorting to flame-throwers to contain the threat by burning the eggs before they hatch into the Siberian Gypsy moth, which gorges on the vegetation around the lake, the BBC reports.
Fedor Gerasimov, a tree doctor in the region, tells the BBC this method appears to be the only option left in the environmentally clean area of Lake Baykal, where there is a ban on applying chemicals to tackle pests.
Catalogues generate online sales but catalogues have been generating retail business for more than 130 years.
Most people now get several catalogues each year in the mail -- some get hundreds.
The first catalog was sent by Montgomery Ward in 1872. It consisted of only one page but the idea was so successful that by 1904 the Ward's catalog weighed 4 pounds.
It sparked so many dreams, it was called "The Wish Book."
Today the mail order business is thriving, as catalogs generate Internet sales and together they are a $108 billion a year business, with almost 1-in-5 dollars being spent on orders placed on the Internet, according to the U.S. Census.

Unilever hits new carbon saving milestone
Reporting only two weeks ago that its 'sustainable' brands like Dove are growing twice as fast as its 'regular' brands, Unilever has now revealed that it has reached a new milestone of 1m tonnes of CO2 savings since 2008 in its manufacturing network.
The FMCG giant says that energy consumption has been reduced by 20% - the same energy used to run 40 factories or the equivalent in carbon of over 800,000 acres of forest in one year and this has also resulted in significant cost savings of €244m.
Commenting, Unilever chief supply chain officer, Pier Luigi Sigismondi said: "Across our supply chain we are increasingly turning to energy provided by wind, solar and biomass, converting heat from our manufacturing processes into power for our factories. We are on track to reach our target of 40% renewable energy by 2020.
"Climate change is having a huge impact on the environment and on business. Ahead of Climate Week in Paris, we are continuing to show that sustainability is a driver for growth, and the only long-term option for business in a volatile world."
Savings in CO2 have been delivered by a global strategy, including circular economy approaches. For example in South Africa, a bi-product of the seed oil from Flora, Stork, Rama and Rondo is used as a fuel in the boilers to deliver energy back into the factory.
Unilever has a target to reach 40% renewable energy by 2020 and has recently joined the RE100 campaign to accelerate the scale-up of renewable power to create a healthier and more sustainable environment. The goal of RE100 is for at least 100 of the world's most influential businesses to join the campaign and commit to going 100% renewable for electricity.
