Awards continue to pour in for Tampa Electric's Polk Power Station Regional Reclaimed Water Partnership. Already the recipient of the utility industry's highest honor for 2015 – the Edison Award from the Edison Electric Institute – the project that uses reclaimed water from the cities of Lakeland and Mulberry and Polk County has earned praise from two more high-profile organizations.
On Aug. 1, POWER magazine announced Tampa Electric and the Polk Power Station as the winner of its 2015 Water Award. POWER, which focuses on "business and technology for the global generation industry," praised the project by stating, "It's not often that a power plant upgrade improves both the environment and the bottom line … Tampa Electric came up with a solution that both secured the plant's water supply for the future and provided significant benefits to the local environment."
Some of you may recall that POWER also recognized Tampa Electric with the 1986 Environmental Protection award for our work on the Big Bend Unit 4 scrubber – we were the first utility in the nation to operate a scrubber, designed to remove sulfur dioxide from boiler emissions that also produced a commercial-grade gypsum byproduct that could be used for cement and wallboard.
We're environmental leaders again by diverting reclaimed water to the Polk Power Station. – where instead of adding harmful nitrogen to local waterways, it's part of the process to generate reliable, affordable electricity for Tampa Electric customers – the project is a showcase of innovation and benefits for the community.
That recent POWER honor follows another from the Tampa Bay Partnership, where we are a leadership member. A regional organization that markets the Tampa Bay area nationally and internationally, the partnership coordinates efforts among its member organizations to positively impact economic growth and development.
At the University of South Florida's Muma College of Business on July 24, the partnership's board of directors presented its Chair's Cup for Excellence in Regional Leadership to TECO Energy President and CEO John Ramil, who chairs the partnership's Board of Governors, and Gordon Gillette, president of Tampa Electric and Peoples Gas. In the partnership's words, the annual Chair's Cup goes to "recipients who exemplify excellence in regional leadership and have made a significant impact on the economic development of Tampa Bay."
Also this month, Sustainable Florida announced that the Polk Power Station water project was a finalist for its 2015 Best Practice Awards in the Leadership and Partnership categories. Tampa Electric previously won for its Renewable Energy partnership with Legoland Florida. Sustainable Florida will announce this year's winners in October.

It's Time For Torontonians To Grow Up And Invest In Their City
It's worth spending money on Toronto. The better the city does, the better we do. That would be obvious in most cities, but not here. Accustomed to being treated as children, pampered and primped, voters won't all be

Today I am so excited to have guest blogging with me Chrisssy, from For Mamas! She has a super cute blog with fantastic ideas, and today she will share a fantastic recipe with us! So take it away Chrissy!Hi all! I'm Chrissy, the Mama in charge over @ For Mamas.
I'm a mama of 2 & wifey, with 2 jobs. Yup...and I love every moment of it! (:
I'm super excited to be here with you today!
I want to share my favorite dinner my mom made growing up.
We called it "Chrissy's Favorite Chicken." Well, I called it "my favorite chicken."
I finally learned how to make it not too long ago, and I can't stop! haha So, I hope you all enjoy it too!
You will need:
3-5 chicken breasts {depending on how many mouths. For me, the Hubbs, & Brady, I do 2-3 pieces}
Vegetable OilBrown sugar
CornstarchPineapple chunks
season saltflour
baking powderwater
carrots {optional}water chestnuts {optional}
white rice
OK, Let's get started!
**I have to tell you, I never go by these amounts. I make it all by taste. I add what it calls for, and then some. So, taste as you cook, and if it's missing something, don't be afraid to add more of something.
P.S. I learned how to make this recipe by watching my mother.
So, if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
I've had this sign forever. Since before I could cook. It's still true, even though I'm a much better cook now (:
1/4 cup brown sugar2 tbs cornstarch
8 oz can pineapple chunks {I use 2}2 tbs ketchup
Thin carrot slices {1 carrot}Water Chestnuts {1 small can, drained}
- Drain the pineapple juice into a measuring cup, and add water until it makes 1 cup
- Pour the mixture into a pan, along with the brown sugar, pineapple chunks, ketchup, carrots, & water chestnuts.
- Heat on medium for a few minutes.
- Turn down to med-low heat, & add the cornstarch. Stir quickly.
- Keep heat at med-low & stir occasionally.
- In a pan, pour the vegetable oil in, covering the bottom, and then some. {Keep this close, you will need to add more after a few batches}
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tsp salt1/4 tsp season salt
1/2 tsp baking powder1/2 cup water {or until batter is a thin paste}
- In a mixing bowl, add all batter ingredients together. {adding more flour or water to get the right texture is fine}
- Mix until batter is a good thin paste {same texture as pancake batter}
- Cut your chicken breasts into bite size pieces
- Dip chicken in batter, cover well, & place in pan. Cook medium heat
- Put as many pieces as you can, without them touching. {or else they will stick together}
- Cook until browned, then turn {tongs work the best}
- Once you have the first batch done, I just put them on a paper towel covered plate and set in microwave, so they don't get cold.
Take a look @ my My Favorite Chicken attire
For some reason, that day, the grease was popping like crazy!
So, I got my handy dandy finger glove!
- During a break in the middle of all this commotion, cook 2 cups of white rice. And put to the side.
- Once all the chicken is done cooking, your sauce should be hot & well mixed.
- Serve Sauce over chicken over rice.
Thanks so much Chrissy for sharing this with us today! That looks so fantastic and delicious it might be going on our menu board this week! Have a recipe/tutorial you want to share with Quilted Euphoria readers? Drop me a line at amber{at}quiltedeuphoria{dot}com!

Golden Sunset Roses Wrapped Canvas by LorrieMorrisonArt
I love the golden color of this rose.
The Gold Shower trees of the Hawaiian islands are in full bloom this summer. The Rainbow Shower trees are equally beautiful with their bursts of pink shades along the avenues and in the yards.
Since we travel by bus most of the time, we have talked to many Hawaiians about the islands. One of the most interesting things we have heard is that the islands are in full bloom this year unlike previous other years. In fact, we were told Hawaiians were getting worried about the flowers! The trees were not at their best in years until now.
This year came with great surprise to see the trees come back into full bloom adding much decorative beauty to the islands. Hawaii is known as the flower islands for a good reason!
These beautiful orchids were photographed in Waikiki Beach were it is a popular place to have a wedding and wedding receptions. The pink wall in the background sets off the flowers in a soft appearance.
The light reflects in the background of this rose garden. This beautiful rose is particularly striking with its vibrant pink color.
Garden Glo Flower Art is a garden of floral artwork inspiration, from modern to vintage, with beautiful flower photo and graphic art designs, vintage flower paintings, and scenic postcard landscapes. Flowers and gardens have long been a way for artists, from long ago to modern times, to learn about light and color. As the time of the day changes so does the light that glows on the flower.

In this week's drawing class, we will be discussing color theory and drawing an eggplant. It is no secret that there are hundreds of colors available for colored pencil work so why bother to learn color theory? Why not just buy the color you need? Even if you could find the perfect match you will most likely be disappointed in the results. Using a single color to render your subject will often result in a flat looking drawing. You need to mix in other colors to add vibrancy and realism to your work.
For example Prismacolor makes a color called black grape which is a great match for the local color of the eggplant on the right but, when used on its own it gets dull looking really quickly. To prevent this I added mulberry and black cherry to brighten up the lighter areas and goldenrod in the darker areas. Why goldenrod? If you consider the color wheel, goldenrod has yellow as its base and is opposite violet (also called its complement), when you mix them together they create a gray-brown color which gives depth to the shadows.
Don't like using complementary colors in your artwork? Prefer analogous colors (colors next to each other on the color wheel)? Add some blue-violet or indigo blue to the shadows. Whichever method you choose remember in the case of colored pencils variety is best in achieving realism.
Until next time…keep those pencils sharp!

I Put Noses On My Smileys
Personal Stories, Advice, and Support
All Faces Have Noses...except Maybe Voldemort'sLots of people I know just use eyes and a mouth for their smileys (e.g. :), :(, :P, ;), XP, XD, etc.). But those poor smileys can't even smell...and the ones with their mouths closed can't even breathe! They have to have a nose. I usually use a dash. ...

With no regulations on industrial pollution, environmental disasters occur that can end up affecting everyone on the planet.

Small Business Loans for Women Starting Businesses Today
Personal Background Information
The loan application itself will ask for some personal information such as name, previous names, address, previous addresses and social security number. If you are filling out an application online, be sure that you are at an "https" secure site before you enter social security information. That way, no one can hack your personal information or steal your identity. You may also be asked about your education, although education and experience in your industry of choice is usually included in your business plan.
Specific Programs for Women
Small business loans for women and men are available from numerous sources. There are specific programs designed for women, including the Women-owned Small Businesses Federal Contract Program. The program is often referred to by the initials WOSB. While requirements and paperwork vary, there are some generalities concerning the application process. You can learn about some of the information you will need to provide here.
Your Business Plan
All lenders require the submission of a professional, sound business plan along with the application. The plan will include information about expected profits and losses, competition in your field, current financial statements if the money is to expand an existing business and projected financial statements for new businesses.
A Business Plan Template
You can find a good business plan template to use for this part of the application process online. There are templates for many different types of common businesses, including restaurants and beauty salons.
Providing a Resume
Although a resume does not replace a business plan, some lenders require a resume for people who are starting new businesses. Your resume allows the lender to see your management experience and your experience working in your chosen field. It helps the lender understand whether or not you have the potential to be successful with your company.
Reviewing Your Personal Credit Report
The lender will actually obtain this information for you, but you are entitled to a free copy of your credit report on an annual basis. It is a good idea for all consumers to review their credit reports to check for errors and make sure that no one has tried to steal their identity. Reviewing this information before talking to a lender could help you identify problems and correct them before you fill out the application.
Submitting Previous Income Tax Returns
You are typically required to submit your personal and any business income tax returns for the previous three years. Depending on the loan amount and the type of business, some lenders may require additional years, along with things like financial and bank statements.
Some lenders offer very low interest rate small business loans for women. To get a current list of what programs are available, check with the Small Business Administration at sba.gov.
- How Private Mortgage Lenders May Benefit You
Learn why private mortgage lenders are very good options when it comes to finding mortgage loans.
Great Question:.I watched on TV just a coplue days ago how one company makes their Rye Bread so soft textured. They let it rise (until tripled not doubled), punch it down to flatten it, let it rise again until tripled. Then separate into loaves and let rise again to fill the pan then bake. They did have a steam oven to keep the crust from being too crusty. Was very interesting to see how bread is commercially made.
Some of stuff that's required for getting business loans is pretty funny but you're totally right, banks generally want to see a business plan and a resume of the business owner.

It's my little sister Silky's birthday today. She is 3 years old. Can you believe it? To celebrate her fabulous 3rd birthday, I am going to sing as usual. However, I'm not only singing but also explaining about what her birthday has been like so far, too.
Happy Birthday, Silky~~~~~~♪
She's got 2 birthday cards, one from nanny Joan and granddaddy Mick, and the other is from three of us, mummy, daddy, and me. Also, she's got two birthday pressies, one is from mummy and daddy, and the other is from Japanese nanny. She got a birthday e-mail from her, too.
Happy Birthday, Silky~~~~~~♪
This yellow Frisbee is the pressie from mummy and daddy. She immediately liked it, of course.
Happy Birthday, Miss Silky~~~~~~♪
The pressie from me is this doggie birthday cake. I used these pretty bone-shaped biscuits, which is the pressie from Japanese nanny, for the decoration. The cake smells gorgeous!! Carrot…peanut butter…..egg……honey…..Sigh…..
Happy Birthday~~~~~~♪
Three years ago, she was this tiny and fragile puppy girl.
Now, she is this strong and beautiful Sheltie girly.
Silky isn't calm enough for three years old. You don't have to change at all, but maybe if you could just a bit quieter when you are woofly excited, for example when we all go out together, and if you could stop pulling towards cars, mummy and daddy might be happier.
Well, I'm just saying. We all love the way you are, Miss Silky.
Mummy, daddy and Coco

Blood and Bone by Ian c. Esslemont

Yeah, the Malazan books aren't exactly stand-alone light reading. There's a LOT going on that you need to be following, but it's worth the effort.ReplyDeleteReplies
Bob, thanks for the comment. You often wonder if your posts are simply the trees dropping in the empty forest, nice to know someone is reading them.Delete
I'm guessing my problem(one of many,many) was starting with the second book. Generally I try and read series from book one. When you get a request for a review, a few publicists realize that their book will probably get a better review if you have the back story. When I was asked to review a Bledsoe book, they sent me the whole series. They got excellent recommendations for all of the books, not because they sent the whole series but because the books deserved good reviews and the series made more sense read sequentially.
I did enjoy this book but really felt that I was in the wind for a back story.
Again, thanks for the comment!

January 8 2013 Issue
USTR Sets Out Trade Policy Priorities with China for 2013
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative has posted to its Web site its annual report on China's compliance with its World Trade Organization commitments. The report states that despite the "remarkable results" that have resulted from China's accession to the WTO in 2001, "the overall picture currently presented by China's WTO membership remains complex."
The report reiterates ongoing concerns about the direction of China's economic and trade policies. "For much of the past decade, the Chinese government has been re-emphasizing the state's role in the economy, diverging from the path of economic reform that drove China's accession to the WTO," USTR states. "With the state leading China's economic development, the Chinese government has pursued new and more expansive industrial policies, often designed to limit market access for imported goods, foreign manufacturers and foreign service suppliers, while offering substantial government guidance, resources and regulatory support to Chinese industries, particularly ones dominated by state-owned enterprises. This heavy state role in the economy, reinforced by unchecked discretionary actions of Chinese government regulators, has generated serious trade frictions with China's many trade partners, including the United States." USTR calls on China to reverse these trends and notes that "there were some positive signs in 2012 that China may be focused on re-energizing its economic reforms."
Looking ahead, the report identifies the following priority issues.
Intellectual Property Rights. Despite repeated anti-piracy campaigns and an increasing number of civil IPR court cases, counterfeiting and piracy remain at unacceptably high levels and continue to cause serious harm to U.S. businesses across many sectors of the economy. Some critical changes to China's legal framework are still needed in a few areas, such as further improvement of measures for copyright protection on the Internet following China's accession to the World Intellectual Property Organization Internet treaties and correction of continuing deficiencies in China's criminal IPR enforcement measures.
Industrial Policies. Having achieved "major progress in de-linking indigenous innovation policies at all levels of the Chinese government from government procurement preferences" in 2011 the principal challenge for the U.S. in 2012 "was to begin addressing a range of discriminatory indigenous innovation preferences proliferating outside of the government procurement context." Discussions on this issue are expected to intensify in 2013.
In other areas, the U.S. plans to continue pursuing WTO dispute settlement cases against Chinese export restraints on rare earths, tungsten and molybdenum and government aid to automobile and automobile-parts enterprises, hold "serious discussions" to work toward a mutual understanding of China's VAT system and the concepts on which a trade-neutral VAT system is based, and maintain pressure on China to take concrete steps toward fulfilling its commitment to accede to the WTO's Government Procurement Agreement.
Trading Rights and Distribution Services. In most sectors China has implemented its commitments to fully liberalize trading rights (the right to import and the right to export) and distribution services (wholesale, retail, direct selling and franchising services). However, the U.S. will continue to press China to resolve one outstanding concern; i.e., even though China has become a major market for U.S. direct sellers it continues to subject foreign direct sellers to "unwarranted restrictions on their business operations, such as overly burdensome service center requirements."
Agriculture. China is now the United States' largest agricultural export market but "remains among the least transparent and predictable of the world's major markets for agricultural products, largely because of selective intervention in the market by China's regulatory authorities." Specific complaints include "seemingly capricious practices by Chinese customs and quarantine agencies" that can delay or halt shipments of agricultural products as well as "SPS measures with what seem to be questionable scientific bases and a generally opaque regulatory regime." In 2013 the U.S. will continue to urge China to lift its restrictions on imports of U.S. beef and poultry products.
Services. The U.S. continues to enjoy a substantial surplus in trade in services with China but there are still numerous challenges in a range of sectors, including the use of "discriminatory regulatory processes, informal bans on entry, overly burdensome licensing and operating requirements and other means to frustrate efforts of U.S. suppliers of banking, insurance, express delivery, telecommunications, legal and other services to achieve success."
Transparency. "China has made important strides to improve transparency across a wide range of national and provincial authorities," USTR states, but "still has more work to do if it is to fully implement some of its commitments." For example, China still has not made available translations of all its trade-related laws, regulations and other measures in one or more of the WTO languages (English, French and Spanish) and indeed has not yet even established an infrastructure to undertake these translations.
Exports from Foreign-Trade Zones Up Sharply in FY 2011
The annual report issued Jan. 2 by the Foreign-Trade Zones Board shows that zone activity saw substantial increases in fiscal year 2011. Among the statistics included in this report are the following.
- Exports from FTZs shot up 56% to a record-high $54.3 billion. Over 76% of these exports originated from U.S.-based manufacturing and processing operations, with the rest originating from warehousing and distribution operations.
- The amount of merchandise received in FTZs rose 20% to $640.9 billion, the second-highest total ever after $692.6 million in FY 2008. Approximately 83% was used in manufacturing and production operations, with the rest sourced by warehousing and distribution operations.
- About 57% of the shipments received at zones involved domestic status merchandise, indicating that FTZ activity tends to involve domestic operations that combine foreign inputs with significant domestic inputs.
- The main industries participating in FTZ manufacturing and production activities included the oil refining, automotive, electronics, pharmaceutical and machinery/equipment sectors.
- The leading foreign-status products received in FTZs for warehouse and distribution operators were oil and petroleum ($36.8 million), vehicles ($11.5 million), machinery and equipment ($6.67 million), vehicle parts ($4.7 million) and textiles and footwear ($2.9 million).
- The leading foreign-status inputs received in FTZs for manufacturing and production operators were oil and petroleum ($194.9 million), vehicle parts ($8.7 million), consumer electronics ($8.0 million), pharmaceuticals ($7.1 million), and machinery and equipment ($3.3 million).
- Approximately 340,000 people were employed in FTZs during 2011, up 6% from the previous year, and the number of firms participating rose to 2,800.
- The FTZ Board approved three new zones, reorganized 38 zones under the alternative site framework and approved nine applications for new or expanded manufacturing authority.
FTC Amends Appliance Labeling Rule to Ease Burdens on Businesses
The Federal Trade Commission has announced a final rule that, effective Feb. 15, will make a number of changes to the Appliance Labeling Rule, which will now be known as the Energy Labeling Rule and requires energy efficiency labels for major household appliances and other consumer products. The FTC is also seeking public comment on proposed changes to the EnergyGuide labels for refrigerators and clothes washers in the wake of new Department of Energy tests for measuring energy costs.
Under this final rule, manufacturers can meet FTC reporting requirements by using the DOE's new Web-based tool for energy reporting (the Compliance and Certification Management System) in lieu of submitting data to the FTC and by providing the same report content that DOE requires under its certification regulations for most covered products. The rule also clarifies the DOE testing requirements that manufacturers must follow for obtaining the energy use information on their labels. The FTC states that by harmonizing the requirements of the two agencies this rule eliminates duplicative requirements and eases the reporting burden on manufacturers.
The final rule also requires online sellers to post label images for products bearing the EnergyGuide or Lighting Facts label. To enable sellers to easily download such labels from manufacturers the rule requires manufacturers to post their labels online and to continue to do so for six months (not two years, as proposed) after discontinuing production of a model. Manufacturers will have until July 15 to comply with this requirement and online retailers will have until Jan. 15, 2014.
Separately, the FTC is seeking public comments through March 1 on a proposed rule that would update the comparability ranges and national average energy cost figures for many EnergyGuide labels (but not those for refrigerators, clothes washers, furnaces and central air conditioners, and televisions). Manufacturers would have to begin using this new information within 90 days after publication of a final rule. This proposal would also grant an exemption related to EnergyGuide labeling requirements for refrigerators and clothes washers to address recent DOE test procedure changes.
Bangladesh Could See Withdrawal or Limitation of GSP Benefits
The Generalized System of Preferences Subcommittee of the Trade Policy Staff Committee is considering whether to recommend that duty-free treatment accorded to imports from Bangladesh under GSP be withdrawn, suspended or limited on the grounds that the government of Bangladesh is not taking steps to afford to workers in that country the right of association and the right to organize and bargain collectively. Based on the most recent available information, including updated reports from the AFL-CIO, the Subcommittee believes that the lack of progress on this issue warrants consideration of these actions. Comments are due no later than Jan. 31.
The Subcommittee notes that in 2011 U.S. imports from Bangladesh under GSP totaled $26.3 million. Among the leading such imports were tobacco products, sports equipment, china kitchenware and plastic articles.

Game description:
Sony has revealed the first hardware bundle for PlayStation VR, with pre-orders opening for the virtual reality headset on 22 March. Unfortunately, that's currently only for the US and Canada and not the UK.
The bundle was announced on the American PlayStation blog. Dubbed the "PlayStation VR Launch Bundle" — sometimes, simplicity works — it comes with everything players will need to get started. Well, except for a PlayStation 4 console, which is required.
That means not just the headset itself, but also stereo headphones, a PlayStation Camera bar, two PlayStation Move wand controllers, and all attendent cables. It also packs in two pieces of software — a VR demo disc, and a full version of PlayStation VR Worlds, one of Sony's main launch game offerings.
The package will set Americans back $499.99 (£344) while Canadians will cough up $699.99 (£372). The core PlayStation VR headset will be available at the previously revealed suggested retail prices of $399.99 USD / $549.99 CAD, but this version won't be available for pre-order.
While the US bundle price seems cheaper than the announced £349 base price for the UK, it's worth remembering that tax is added to base prices in both countries, and can vary state by state. Whatever bundles we get here in the UK will be priced to include VAT at 20 percent and be universal across the country.
It's also worth cautioning that North American deals or packages don't necessarily reflect what we'll see here in the UK, but it could serve as a good indication of what Sony is planning for the October hardware launch.
MARKMEETS will be keeping an eye out for UK launch details, though when contacted for comment, a Sony UK spokesperson told us simply "we haven't announced anything for the EU at this stage."
For all things MARKMEETS:
MarkMeets is a renowned UK entertainment website and media PR brand covering showbiz, music, tv, movies, tech, culture, west end, fashion news, reviews & interviews plus live event coverage inc London Film Premieres.

text: Beastmaster (3 CP) REQUIRES: Knowledge: Nature (Novice) Primal Weaponry 1 Speak with Beast or Plant Primal Freedom Hamstring Ravage Feral Cunning Heroic Dodge, Heroic Strike, or Heroic Will (any 1) Some warriors (like the Berzerker), channel the might of ancient and powerful spirits to grant prowess in battle. The beastmaster takes this a great step further-- instead of harnessing the spirits and letting them go again, the Beastmaster bonds with a mighty animal spirit and invites that ephemeral being to experience life through the senses of a mortal. The Beastmaster gains the strength, speed, and other characteristics of the spirit, and the spirit lives a lifetime in mortal flesh-- both benefit from the arrangement. Beastmasters bond to many different types of spirits, though normally those with predatory traits or the most powerful of beasts. Typically, the beast spirits bonded to fall into the following categories: Feline (lion, panther, jaguar, ocelot, mountain tiger, etc) Canine (solitary wolf, pack wolf, bearhound, etc) Weasel (weasel, badger, wolverine, ferret, otter, etc) Hooved (horse, deer, bison, bull, elk, etc) FREE SKILLS When you unlock this header, you automatically gain the Altered Appearance and Armed as the Hunter skills for Free. The 0 CP version is considered the 1st Purchase. Altered Appearance (0 CP) Your physical form has been altered from the mortal norm. You use a mask, makeup, and/or prosthetics to appear nonhuman, feral, and predatory. Your appearance must be approved by staff, and the change is permanent once made; you cannot change your appearance once one is selected, unless your normal form is somehow restored. You also add "Beast" to your list of Racial Traits. Armed as the Hunter (0 CP; 0 Stamina; Weapon Skill) This skill allows you to grow and retract claws in both hands with which you may attack and block. You may fight with a claw in each hand at the same time, but you may not fight with claws and other weapons or a shield. You may use one short claw in each hand. This skill counts as both a Short Weapon skill. The time it takes to draw the claw props or put them away is the time it takes to grow or retract the claws. Any melee attack from another header that does not specify a weapon type (blunt, axe, etc) or category (Small, Short, etc) can be used with claws. Director's Note: It is possible to create MANY different types of animal-humanoid hybrid using this class. The current list (April 2013) only expresses a few of the possibilities. If you have a concept in mind but don't see skills here that fit the idea, contact the Director via email (email@example.com) and we can discuss adding abilities to fit your concept. This class is meant to be a catch-all for those wanting to play anthro-type characters, and we're happy to work with you to fit your concept into the world--and the rules. Beastmaster Skills Bestial Blessing (4 CP) While you are in the woods your count to bleed out is increased to 2 minutes. To use this skill you must fall on natural earth and you must either be under the boughs of a tree, within touching distance of a tree, or be in a place where there are trees between you and any buildings in sight. Bestial Dominance (2, 3, 3, 3 CP, 1 Stamina) You can roleplay a loud, feral growl and make a packet attack for, "Short Repel to Beast by Fear." · 2nd Purchase: "Short Repel by Fear." · 3rd Purchase: "Repel By Fear." · 4th Purchase: "Double Repel by Fear." Extreme Resilience (3, 3, 3 CP, 1 Stamina; Battle) Requires Flesh Armor. So long as you are conscious you may spend 3 seconds of roleplaying – wiping blood from your face, shaking your head clear, or similar actions - to shrug off your wounds. You spend a point of Stamina to call "Heal 3 to Self by Nature." · 2nd Purchase: "Heal [Tier+2] to Self by Nature," · 3rd Purchase: Usable twice before rest. Feel No Pain (3, 3, 3, CP; 1 Stamina; Battle) Requires Feral Anticipation 2. You can call, "Resist by Beast" against an attack with the Pain trait or Agony effect. · 2nd Purchase: usable twice before rest. · 3rd Purchase: You can call,"Resist and Reflect Agony by Beast." Feral Anticipation (3, 3, 3 CP, 1 Stamina; Battle) You are skilled at protecting vulnerable areas and twisting with blows to quickly recover from debilitating strikes. You may call, "Purge by Beast," against any Agony effect or Pain trait. · 2nd Purchase: usable twice before rest. · 3rd Purchase: Usable 3 times before rest. Feral Instinct (3, 3, 3, 3, 3 CP) Each time you purchase this skill, you gain a point of Instinct that can be used in place of Stamina to power your Primal skills. Instinct refreshes at the beginning of each watch. Flesh Armor (3, 3, 3, 3 CP, up to 3 Stamina; Watch) You may pay up to three points of Stamina to give yourself an equal number of armor points. You may not use this skill while wearing a prop that gives armor points, and these points are lost if you put on or activate any other armor or ability that gives you armor points—this includes any temporary armor from a Grant effect. If you are using this skill and gain armor points from physical armor or another ability that gives you armor points, these points are lost. These armor points may be refreshed if you spend three minutes of activity to do so, such as stretching. You cannot move or refresh game skills while refreshing armor. The armor points last until the beginning of the next watch. 2nd Purchase: You can spend up to 4 Stamina on this skill. 3rd Purchase: you get Stamina +1 armor points 4th Purchase: takes 1 minute of rest to reset points. Heart of the Beast (3, 3, 3 CP, 1 Stamina; Battle) You may roleplay a loud growl and/or feral scream and then call, "Resist by Beast" against any Frenzy effect or attack by Fear. · 2nd Purchase: usable twice before rest. · 3rd Purchase: You can call, "Resist and Repel by Fear" if the attack was Fear-based; if the attack was Frenzy, you call, "Resist and Reflect Frenzy by Beast," Hunter's Strike (2 CP) Requires 2 skills purchased from this header. You may add the Bane trait "To Beast" to your claw attacks. If you do so, add 2 to the damage of all "to Beast" called damage attacks. This increase DOES NOT stack with other numeric increases to your attacks, but remember that if you add the Beast trait and the target does not have that Trait, the attack has No Effect at all. Know Your Pack (4 CP) When struck with a Frenzy effect, you may call "Reduce by Beast." If you do so, you may choose not to attack any being you recognize as an ally. You must still attack, and behave otherwise as if under a Frenzy, but you are able to discriminate between targets. This skill is innate once learned, costs no attributes, and is always in operation. Nature's Bounty (2 CP) This skill allows you to live in the wild. So long as you do not maintain the trappings of civilized lands, and your clothing and accessories appear primitive, you do not have to pay monetary or food maintenance costs, and are assumed to have Commoner Maintenance. You cannot use this skill if you end an event with a condition that prevents the use of game skills. No Escaping the Hunt (3,3, 3 CP, 1 Stamina; Battle) You may make 2 melee claw attacks for, "2 Damage and Short Slow by Nature." · 2nd Purchase: "2 Damage and Slow by Nature." · 3rd Purchase: usable twice before rest. Powerful Claws (4, 4 CP) Requires Armed as the Hunter. You may now use one Medium and one Short claw. This counts as a Medium Weapon skill. 2nd Purchase: You can use two Medium Claws. Mastery of Forms (3 CP) Requires Powerful Claws. You can now use a melee weapon in one hand and a claw in the other. Guardian Claws (3 CP) Requires Powerful Claws, Buckler or Shield skill. You can now use a claw in one hand and a Buckler or Shield in the other, provided you have the appropriate skills. Regeneration (5 CP; 1 Stamina; Battle) Requires Flesh Armor x3. Your body heals with unnatural speed. Each minute of activity you spend roleplaying binding your wounds, stretching, etc restores one Vitality at no attribute cost. You must be conscious and able to use game skills for Regeneration to work. You can heal up to a maximum of your Tier+2 Vitality each time you use this skill. Once you have used this skill, you must rest for 5 minutes before you can use it again. Strike the Spine (4, 4, 4 CP; 2 Stamina; Battle) Requires 5 skills from this header. You can make 1 melee attack for, "Short Paralyze by Beast." · 2nd Purchase: "Paralyze by Beast." · 3rd Purchase: "Double Paralyze by Beast." Terrible Ferocity (3, 3, 3 CP; 1 Stamina; Battle) You can make a melee CLAW attack for "5 Damage by Beast." · 2nd Purchase: You can use this skill twice per battle. · 3rd Purchase: can use the skill 3 times per battle.

Are sugar plums or dollar signs dancing in your little one's head as they dream about the holidays? At Heartland Bank, we say, "why not both?"
As you budget and buy for this upcoming season of celebrations, make it a family affair and teach your kids about the value of financial planning. It's the perfect opportunity for them to see tracking, spending, saving, and giving of resources in action. Bring them into the process with these kid-friendly pointers.
- Create a budget: Squeeze the most magic out of the holidays by creating a battle plan. Let the kids listen as you and your partner settle on a budget for the month, breaking it down into categories like food, gifts, parties, and decorations. Once they understand how to build a budget, turn them loose to make one of their own, allotting a dollar amount on gifts for each person on their list.
- Get crafty with gifts: Try your hand at homemade gifts this holiday season. Presents range from thoughtful cards, favorite family recipes, home baked goods, and more! Many of these gifts can be created with supplies lying around the home or purchased for cheap. Your kids benefit when they unleash their creativity and see the thoughtful effort of a gift crafted by hand.
- Shop smarter: Share the experience of household budgeting your kiddos this winter. When you head to the grocery or department store, be upfront about how much you plan to spend on what purchases and why. With that knowledge in mind, they can help you spot sales as your cruise the aisles. Turn your shopping adventure into a game by challenging them to find the best deal or most creative alternative. Bonus points for paying with cash to give them practice counting money and deducting coupons!
- Give, give, give: It's better to give than to receive, and the holidays are the perfect opportunity to show your kids this principle in action! Build on this lesson in empathy by choosing an organization like Toys for Tots or Operation Christmas Child to purchase gifts for a child in need. Have your child help pick out and deliver the purchase to experience the joy of giving firsthand.
Make the holidays the most wonderful time of year for you and your children, as well as those around you. Heartland Bank is always here to help your family make the most of your financials to start you strong in the New Year! For more information about our financial planning services, give us a call to get connected with one of expert advisors.

Calvin Harris Releases 'Slow Acid' Music Video Off Upcoming Album
"Slow Acid" might be the most original song produced by Calvin Harris in years. The slow-burning acid house track harkens back to the sounds that dominated the UK in the 1990s. Hearing this style of music from Harris is a very welcome change. It shows that he's not completely content with the fortune he's made off of vocal-laden pop songs and his Las Vegas residency. He's willing to take some risks on his upcoming album, Motion.
The video for "Slow Acid" looks like it could have been put together by someone on an acid trip. It is aesthetically pleasing and very confusing.
Watch the video below!
Motion will be released on November 4th.
