"Not so good nor bad"Hodnocení zadal host společnosti Hotels.com 11. 02. 2013
Clean hotel with small room we stayed in. For this money I'd expect at least breakfast. Cleaning lady came to clean our room late afternoon (after 4pm) so we were already back from meetings and room stil was not clean...otherwise location is incredible and comfortable beds and sound proof windows are good too.

The hotel itself is a five star as it should be. Plus, it is relatively new, modern. The view is great, if you get a good room. However, there is no subway near. You can get there by bus, on foot from Clapham Junction rail station (20 min.), or by helicopter, since there is a helipad adjacent! We had a room just above it, to see it, but no to hear much. The windows are tight. I will be coming back.

"Surprisingly good"
Fab breakfast. Fantastic service. Decor a little tired but overall really good to be in such a strange licationAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com
Enjoyed the stay very much, however the shower in my room had no power for the first 2 mornings which was disappointing. It was fixed for my final morning. Also there was a problem with the breakfast on Monday morning, shortage of fruit etc. and service was slowish. This may have been caused by the overnight storm. However I would recommend it to my […] friends should they be visiting the area. Austin Savage Další informaceAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com
"Great Hotel & even better value!"
Staff very friendly and helpful. Food much improved and for a hotel, good value. My wife and I have stayed at the Hendon Hall many times. The new owners have done a great job of refurbishing the place. If you prefer the suburbs to being Downtown, this is definitely the place to stay.Autentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com
"Excellent hotel"
Could not fault anything in the hotel - very comfortable and clean, breakfast had excellent choice and quality. Staff helpful and attentive. Free parking appreciated. Excellent value for money. Wished we could have stayed longer.Autentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com
"Very Comfortable"
Good Hotel with charm and good service. Room was very comfortable and clean. Impressive building with a bit of history and nice garden. Breakfast more than adequate. A bit of a hike from the train station but 5mins by taxi for £5 (if you can get one). Hendon itself was not what I expected and didn't waste any time there but I used the hotel as it was […] fairly close to Wembley by bus (No 83). All in all I would definately stay here again and would recommend for a stopover or a few nights stay. Další informaceAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com

"Perfect for our needs....."
We were visiting our daughter in the area and wanted more of a boutique hotel rather than one of the big chains. Hendon Hall was all that and more. The staff was most helpful and accommodating, the breakfast was delicious whether it was served in the dining room or in your own room, and the outdoor gardens were beautiful and well kept. The hotel was […] a little island of peace and quiet in the middle of a bustling city! Perfect for our needs! Další informaceAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com

Lovely hotel...furnishings, gardens...but no air conditioning in room, unbearably hot which spoilt our stayAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com
In about half of the hotel rooms the air conditioning wasn't working and they ran out of fans for many of the rooms, including ours... The room was over 80* and pretty miserable for the family...Autentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com
"Living in the past"
I arrived on a Friday and found for the toilet to work you had to flush it 3 or 4 times they couldn't fix it until the Monday. The exhaust fan in the bathroom didn't work. I complained I couldn't get the A/conditioning to work, they said it would months before it worked in any of the rooms. You didn't need a wake up call as the first person to leave […] their accommodation when their front door shut your room liberated the same when the last person came home. I heard the people in the room next door every time they used the toilet and shower and could hear them talk in bed. The floor creaked as you walked on it. Breakfast started at 7.30am however if you came before 8.00am you didn't get bac on or eggs, one morning they forgot to bake the croissants. At the bar I bought lemon, lime and bitters and was charged 4 pound 20 pence. This place says London as it's location don't be fooled its about 3 stations from the end of the line and the hotel is a good 20 minute walk to the station. The don't have a courtesy car as they stated they didn't have a driver. The place is overpriced and no discount for the things that don't work I wouldn't staynthere again even if it was for free.

"Nice and not a corporate clone."
Hotel was very busy with a wedding and so I think we were a little unlucky and got a smaller room - everything OK though. Service was somewhat erratic when we had dinner in the hotel restaurant but the food was excellent.

"Lovely country-style hotel - in Hendon"
Well appointed hotel with small, extremely comfortable rooms, on the Copthall side of Hendon. Interesting history, too - it was where the victorious English World Cup team stayed on the eve of the final in 1966. Well worth paying for the cooked breakfast - ours was delicious.Autentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com
"Well priced, comfortable stay"
We chose this hotel as it was closest to the venue of a family event and the hotel did not disappoint at all. The breakfast was good (coffee a bit debatable), room a sufficient size, clean bathroom. Couldn't fault it for this price bracket for two people.Autentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com
Poor service at the bar for food & drinks on arrival, even though the hotel was extremely quiet. We waited at least 10 mins to get served & then about another 20 mins to receive our food, then another 10 mins for condiments to arrive to accompany our lunch. Some areas of the hotel were not very clean. We arrived back in our hotel room at approximately […] 11:30 pm & the room was very cold, I had to wrap myself in a towel off the heated towel rail in order to get warm. Very disappointing, after seeing the beautiful facade pictures of the hotel on the Internet, to arrive to find a large plastic sheet covering the front of the hotel. Disappointing on several levels.

We stayed at this hotel 4 years ago and were very satisfied. However this time we were disappointed. The physical condition of the hotel has deteriorated and it sorely needs maintenance.

"Great choice for the northern suburbs"
My wife and I stayed at the Hendon Hall for 7 nights in August 2012. Let me preface this review by pointing out that the hotel is located in suburban Hendon and there is VERY little around here to see and do. The only reason we chose this hotel is that my wife's grandmother lives right next door it. The hotel was charming and despite our room being […] on the small side, it was very tastefully appointed and in top condition (which is all the more impressive considering how long the hotel has been around). The staff were very friendly and helpful. The quality of the food in the hotel's restaurant is wonderful and I definitely recommend having a meal there. My only complaint is that the housekeeping was fairly average, they did not replace used glasses, sheets, etc for the duration of our stay. Highly recommended for those visiting Hendon/Hampstead/Golder's Green... Další informaceAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com
"A lovely hotel in North London"
This is a very nice hotel in an area of London that is not close to where the action is in London. However, it is within walking distance of a Northern Line tube station (the hotel will drive you there and pick you up) and it is about a 30 minute tube ride to the center of London. The hotel is really nice, especially if you get an Executive Room. It […] is also a bargain. Very clean and well appointed rooms. We stayed for 11 days and the breakfasts were first rate. Dinners and bar food were excellent, but expensive. Další informaceAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com

"Very quiet location, friendly and helpful staff"
The hotel appears to be undergoing renovation externally as the front of the building is wrapped in a facsimile of the hotel as it normally is. It's very cleverly done and I wasn't aware of any construction work (or noise) during my work week stay. My bedroom was excellent and the location itself very quiet indeed. On a couple of nights I had some […] noisy neighbours who had their TV so loud that the speaker was vibrating. The noise permeated but was easily cancelled out by me switching on the room ac. The breakfast offered is worth a rating all on its own. It was excellent. I never avail myself of the full English breakfast, preferring healthy fruit and muesli instead. Hendon Hall has all the bases covered though and the coffee is excellent too. The evening meals I had were served in the bar area (I didn't use the restaurant so cannot comment on their meals). The meals weren't all that great really. I found them oily in the main. Palatable but not exciting. It is quite a walk from the nearest tube station (Hendon Central on the Northern Line) but the hotel operates a complimentary shuttle service in the morning (it doesn't run in the evening though so you may have a 20 minute walk - take a small map and walk through the residential area - it's really rather nice). Overall, I'd certainly stay there again but I'd probably have my evening meals elsewhere. Další informaceAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka společnosti Expedia

St. J fire victim
hopes to rebuild
ST. JOHNSBURY The owner of a historic St. Johnsbury building severely damaged by fire last month wants to rebuild.
Owner Bruno Ravel is still too upset about the fire to talk to reporters. But he has been talking with historic preservationists, real estate developers and the local Chamber of Commerce about how to rebuild despite having no insurance, Vermont Public Radio reports.
Scott Beck, the chambers executive director, owns a bookstore in a neighboring building that was rebuilt after a fire in 2000. He knows how much work it will take just to stabilize the building.
The third floor is mostly gone, part of the roof is gone and part of the façade, he said of the fire on Railroad Street. So theyve got their work ahead of them, for sure.
One preservationist estimates the building will cost $1 million to rebuild.
Fires have burned parts of downtown St. Johnsbury in 2000, 2003 and in 2008.
The Dec. 23 fire was accidental, caused by electrical problems, fire officials said.MORE IN Vermont NewsWASHINGTON Although House and Senate negotiators failed to agree on a new farm bill as Congress...

- Product Details
Toyota Sequoia 2003-2012, Brake Control Wiring Adapter by Tekonsha®. Wire up your tow vehicle and trailer with whatever it takes to get your trailer lights on, the electric brakes slowing down, and the trailer battery charging. From simple wiring connectors, to connectors and harness that lets you plug directly into your tow vehicle harness, to adapters that let your 3-wire car turn signals successfully operate your 2-wire trailer lights, we have the electrical solutions for your towing needs. One-Year warranty.
- Plug and Play T-harnesses to connect to vehicle wiring
- Trailer wiring connectors, for both truck and trailer
- 4- 5- 6- and 7-pin trailer connectors
- Adapters for almost any permutation of mismatched connectors
- Premade trailer harnesses
- 2-wire to 3-wire lighting adapters for vehicles with separate turn and brake indicators
- Power modules and converters to avoid overtaxing vehicle circuits on PWM or multiplexed systems requiring 2, 3 or 4 wire hookup
Wiring for your trailer can be as simple as plugging in a premade harness to your truck's rear lights, totally brainless. If you aren't fortunate enough to have a truck that we have a t-harness for, well, you may have to splice some wires, no big deal. It seems there are a bewildering number of different trailer connection plugs, from simple flat 4- wire plugs to 7-blade plugs as big as an apple. We have adapters to let you plug almost any trailer into any truck that's wired for a trailer.
Next problem: your car or truck has separate turn signals and brake lights. Trailers almost always use integrated brake/turn signals. Fortunately, we have adapters that intercept the signals to the trailer lights and make everything blink when it's supposed to.

Fun Exchanges and Activities for Science Teachers
Have you been looking for new, exciting, teacher-tested ideas for your science classroom? Or perhaps you've wanted to have a discussion about science resources, safety in the lab, or how other teachers manage a certain science demonstration or other activity? Or maybe you simply want to network with other science teachers and build a lasting friendship with other science educators. If this is what you're looking for, we welcome you to FEAST. FEAST is truly a grass roots effort that began with a small group of about 8 secondary science teachers in the fall of 2005.
Today our FEAST list has grown in size to over 200 teachers. We meet once a month during the school year and topics are selected by the FEAST teachers. Most of our sessions invite teachers to share lessons and demonstrations around a particular topic such as "Energy" or "Toys in Science" or "Climate Science," etc. However, we also have visiting speakers who might present a half day workshop. All of these experiences are conducted on Saturday mornings. There is no cost to join or participate as long as you are an educator. However, we do want to emphasize that the reason the FEAST sessions have become so successful is because of the sharing that goes on. By sharing one of your favorite lessons around a particular topic, other educators can gain access to yet another idea. You'll find our sessions to be very casual yet welcoming to all who wish to share. We hope you will join us at one of our future sessions.
FEAST (Fun Exchanges and Activities for Science Teachers) would like to welcome all teachers to attend our next session:
The Life Sciences – What is this thing called life?
There's a long list of topics that can fall under the life science umbrella. Have you taught lessons about anatomy or physiology, aquatic or terrestrial life forms or perhaps past life in the form of fossils or how about extremophiles? Would exploring the methods and theories of biochemistry or biophysics be considered life science? Examine your science curriculum and you'll probably find a lot of connections to this "thing called life". As always, we encourage everyone to seize the opportunity to share an activity or two around this topic but don't stop there……..how about inviting a colleague who has a great idea to share? Add to the excitement of these FEAST sessions and the model of teachers teaching teachers.
Here are the specifics:
Title of Session: Life Sciences – What is this thing called life? Date: Saturday, December 7, 2013 Time: 9am to noon Place: Chabot Space & Science Center Room: Chem/Physics Lab (Life Science Lab too!) Facilitators for this Session: Tracy Ostrom – Teacher at Skyline High School, Oakland Unified Tim Ostrom – Teacher at Bret Harte Middle School, Oakland Unified Tanya Phillips – Former Chemistry Teacher and Science Mentor Stan Fukunaga – Chabot Education Manager/Instructor |
Please RSVP using the form below so we can get an idea how many of you will be attending. If you have any questions, contact us at: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Be sure to include the following information: your name, school/city, grade level and/or subject taught, and e-mail address.

Roleplay Synopsis
The year is 2073. The ice caps have melted, submerging a significant amount of the world's landmass. In this world, the magical and supernatural not only exist, but are a part of daily life as we know it. Through the combined efforts of many scientific researchers, humanity has unlocked the latent psychic abilities that thousands, if not millions or even all, of humans possess. In the same vein, the esoteric teachings of magic, once a reprehensible and degraded art, have become a commonplace, to the point that one out of every seven-thousand people has the capacity to cast even the simplest spell. Both of these have granted humanity the ability to surpass the natural limits placed upon us and may possibly allow humans to reach godlike levels of status. These supernatural abilities granted to us have created great good... as well as great evil. Like any other powerful resource, there are people who would abuse these gifts, and try to become powerful by using morally reprehensible means and unethical methods.
Due to this, the governments of the world have come to an agreement and have allied themselves with various organizations dealing with the supernatural, all to prevent the abuse of these abilities. But not everyone is in agreement with these restrictions and rules placed upon them. Despite our best efforts, there are rebellious organizations and unauthorized unions that care not for these treaties and agreements.
Insert the Ability Research and Education Area, or just AREA for short. Made up of the remnants of what used to be the British Isles, AREA was established in the year 2020 with the dual-purpose of 'holding a neutral monopoly over supernatural resources' and 'to provide a safe and suitable environment in which young ability users can hone their skills.' Within its borders lies a sort of 'academic paradise' for the population of approximately 2 million students and researchers/teachers; a veritable collection of schools and research facilities dedicated to the study of the occult abilities of its students, as well as the development of new technology.
However, despite its much higher technological level when compared with the outside world's, AREA's true claim to fame is its population of empowered students. Out of the 1.5 million students, ~60% have undergone the experimentation necessary for the development of psychic abilities, dubbed 'Advancements'. The other ~40% consists of the students that practice the arcane arts. However, despite their supernatural capabilities, life on AREA is a lot like one would expect out of a place dedicated to research and teaching: much like a normal, mundane boarding school, but with a campus consisting of what amounts to a small country/very large island and full of students who can Teleport or cast fireballs with a single word.
For whatever reason, this is where you are found. Whether you came because of the potential of obtaining an Advancement or because you wanted to learn more about magic, or even if it was because you were born here, this is where your story unfolds.
TL;DR: Basically the setting is Britain in 2073 after people stopped taking global warming seriously, and decided to put a bunch of superpowered brats in a high-tech metropolis the size of a country of reduced size.
In essence, this RP will basically consist of the adventures of the citizens of AREA, who, over the course of the RP, end up going on some crazy shenanigans and stuff. While there is an overarching plot that I'm currently working on, I figure the RP will mostly end up following repeating courses of slice of life with some people deciding to do actiony things. Since I don't feel like railroading everyone, player-submitted subplots and arcs are A-Okay with myself, in fact they're recommended. I just want a heads up before you begin implementing them in the RP.
TL;DR: Plot? What plot?

I recently came across the map which had an enchanted Blaze Rod and Book. I'm not sure if SPC helps to cover this. I've scoured the forums, and nothing seems to clarify this. How can one enchant an un-enchantable item (ie, Blaze Rod, Book, Paper, etc.)
To enchant enter this command
That command will enchant the item that you are holding to set mobs on fire | |||||
I addition to James' answer, you may also want to look at those two videos that explain the process: and | |||||||||
They are generally using editing tools, like MCEdit, to create the worlds and add into them the items that you are mentioning. Like the Super Hostile maps that you can get (I believe its Enchanted Caves that has a collection of ever more powerfully enchanted signs that are really very handy weapons in that map :)) I have yet, however, to see a command in SPC that would allow you to put an enchantment on an non-enchantable item. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong on this aspect :)) | |||||||||
It was most likely tims the enchanter (a plugin) which makes it possible to enchant anything like the blaze rod and book. with it you can enchant a sword with all enchantments in-game like protection to level 127 etc. (127 is the highest level). | |||
NBTedit, singleplayercommands(e.g. /enchant add 21 4),MCedit I have a tutorial on NBTedit here: | |||||
Combine it with an enchanted book with an anvil. | |||||||||
With the new Enchanted books in snapshot 12w49a made it possible to enchant anything. Just go into creative mode, take an enchanted book (Or enchant a book to get it), place it in an anvil together with the item and bam! | ||||

The closer your school is to where I live in Virginia, the cheaper the show.
And what a show! I read some of my books. The kids meet the actual stuffed animals who inspired the Sock Monkey series. I teach the kids how to draw characters from all the books. When I visit older kids (third grade and up), I ask for volunteers, and the volunteers and I present a Sock Monkey book like a play. With costumes! And scripts! Plus, possible dancing by me. Break dancing, in fact. Really bad break dancing. But break dancing! I mean, come on!
I also do writing and drawing workshops with third, fourth, and fifth graders... and middle schoolers, if they promise to be nice to me.

Woooo this is my 5th hero draft Teira. She has a very unique setup that is great for team initiation and powerful one-on-one fighting ability. She would be great for mid and ganker of lanes. The ulti does look intense but there will be some really interesting team fights let me know what you think!
Change log: 8.16
*Buffed Adapt 2nd and 3rd version to make her stronger in a solo fight.
*Added more clarity to ulti and new tool tip.
*Fixed range of attack.
*swapped name for graft and adapt.
*removed other versions of graft and changed the abillity properties for balance and clarity.
*removed movement speed bonus from ulti and SotM.
*lowered Agi and Int buff for ulti.
This is my favorite so far I created, everything has synergy and her ulti really adds some great team fighting capabilities that I think she would excel in competition modes as well as competitive. I think she would be very fun to play
Q is fine
If you want to go with a main-attribute changing ability i think you need to implement it deeper into your skillset.
I would personaly favor the second itteration of adapt as it seems to be the most fitting.
I really like the passive part (reversed Predator-esque)
It's a good harrasing tool to make up for her low range.
About the active part. I would not just increase by a static amount. How about:
For 5 seconds,Teirra has 1/2/3/4 magic armor penetration and reduces incoming heals and health-regeneration by 25/35/45/55%?
This ability is just massive. But i like it. Perhaps a one second cast-time/channel-time would be appropriate.
Hey Granger, thanks for taking the time to post.
Acclimate- I was thinking the same thing. The reason I created it is to be more versatile with her ulti but it doesn't do much other than that so I came up with a couple other options if that didn't suit well.
The 3rd version of adapt steals quite a bit more but it tapers off quick. However because Acclimate has an immobile I personally thought it would be the best for her. The combo would go as follow: 3rd version of Adapt to steal 40%, then use Acclimate to get in range and immobile for a second, and finally graft to finish up.
Also Acclimate immobile will help for getting out ulti on at least one target.
Graft- It's a very great ability that is unique and rewards aggression. It sets her apart from other agility classes and the small active is good in itself. I do agree the magic pen would make her much more powerful but the reason I didn't do that is because acclimate made all of her attacks into magic damage (yes that does synergize), but I didn't want to be too powerful since you can't stack much magic armor. In retrospect I will make the change so long as the first version of adapt is not chosen.
Terraform- Haha I know and I take it as a compliment I wanted it to be big since if you waited around till end of duration it would do nothing to you if you were an enemy. That having been said if you choose to run you will be punished and if you choose to stay and especially in a team fight situation, it can get pretty harry.
It does have a channel: Channeling time: 1 second.
It doesn't have to be used for fighting either, can also be used for back-door/sneaky team initiation since it gives everyone the ability to unit/cliff/tree walk so you can get behind them in a group or a team escape too!
Thanks for sending me a PM about this
I think you have some really strong ideas but I'm not sure about some other stuff. Overall this hero feels a bit like a better designed Ravener.
First off I think the switching between primary stats is a great concept that should be in the game, but I don't think it's useful or interesting on this specific hero. I would scrap it. I really like your alternative ideas for Adapt, stealing magic damage is an unexplored concept.
The ultimate I don't like much at all; with my ideas for this hero I think I have a better use for that slot.
Acclimate: This is a really awesome skill, very much like it. However, right now it's pretty awkward to use. I think you need to change how it is activated and buff the distance. Right now if you're already fighting someone rolling around them and then turning to fight again would really waste time and allow them to hit you while you do some dumb backflip. Make this a target ground/unit ability with 350 range.
Adapt: Thematically this skill should be called Graft, so I'd change the name. I would tweak this skill to make it more bursty. Bump the numbers up to 60%, and change the duration to 2 seconds.
Graft: I'd change the name of this skill to "Vicious Biogen". I'm gonna suggest that instead of having a DoT, the bonus damage based on missing health is instead instant and occurs with each attack.
At this point, with these three skills, the hero is a really solid semicarry ganker that has strong anticarry and anticaster abilities. Her ability to steal damage makes her wonderful in 1v1s. I'd itemize her almost exactly like Parasite, Adapt is just too good to not abuse Codex with.
I had more ideas but now I forget them. I'll come back later perhaps
First skill: its is cool, I would just set the immobilize numbers to 0,5 to 1,5 seconds. Right now its pretty week since she does not have any other type of disable, unless you want a hard carry.
Second skill: its a cool mechanic chaning the main atribute, but then it will be hard to balance and I feel like this hero doesn't have a good skill sinergy, something that would make it usefull from chaning stats, since it seems that she can fulfill only the carry role, so if you put the str form she could turn inot an initator, agi form is carry and int supportive/ganker. Besides that, why would you want this hero to change her atributes? The agility form is a bit useless, why would you want to bypass enemy armor, if your attacks will be magic? The mana regen seems useless on the int form too since she just have 1 skill that uses mana constantly but the magic penetration could be usefull. I think I rpefer the 2nd version of Adapt more, its verry unique( btw, how can you steal magic damage?Oo).
Third skill: I like this skill, maybe reduce the healing thing by 50% max.
Ultimate: Is really imabalanced xD reduce the attack speed part...60% attack speed for 8 seconds is just too much. The int part imo should be removed....reducing all cds by 50% is extremely strong...imagine artesia with that...messing with cd is really hard, and since this is an AoE that last for 8 seconds the skill turn ou to be just too strong. The buff depending on the size is cool, I like that mechanic. THe ultimate do so many things too, maybe this part "-Within the terraformed area all allies gain 5% movement speed, and unhindered by cliffs, trees, and units." should be removed.
Thanks Lhune!
Sorry for my bad English!
Hey Apostate how you been bro?
Thanks for taking the time to write such a long post! To be honest I was actually designing her before Ravener came out but it's all good, I haven't played him so I don't know the exact similarities.
I agree we should have a hero that can play multiple stats: it's unique, versatile, and can be used as a great utility for multiple situations. The ulti I created on Tierra was the first ability so I was trying to make other abilities to compliment it directly. After creating the main stat switch I realized it may not work so well on her giving the other 2 abilities I was looking to put on her, hence the other two version. It got the axe, legionaire style.
I know! Stealing magic damage I can't believe isn't in the game since there is only one item that provides magic armor magic carry/nukers don't really have strong counters. I was even thinking about putting spell-vamp on her where magic damage through attacks or abilities heals her for percentage.
Haha awww com'mon man that's the whole point of her is the ulti
Acclimate: This skill dominates in laning situations, but I see your point in team fights or out of position the skill may work against you. Forward-back flips are awesome! Ill slightly buff the flip distance and the speed from point a to b should be .5 seconds, so very quick. The ability has 3 parts, so do you mean click on a unit or ground and she will flip to that point?
Adapt: Name change, sure thing. I see what you mean by bursty which would be more congruent with acclimate so I will up the numbers and lower duration but I still want to keep the tapering aspect.
Graft: another name change sure lol. I was trying to avoid similar abilities like Predators carnivorous. Because it's a two part ability the passive part can't be too strong otherwise she could become overpowered, I do like your idea but she does enough continuous damage so I think the dot is fine seeing as she negates 60% heals and regen on the active.
I agree she is pretty solid and almost doesn't need an ulti but that's why I made it to support her team and with cliff walking, setup some awesome backdoor team ganks. I actually will change the magic damage increase to not work with items since if we were to be realistic she is stealing those stats within her while items would be carried on the outside. A fully upgraded 1280 magic damage codex would be tooooooo powerful, even pyro with a staff of mastery would be like… wtf dood haha.
I came, I saw, I liked.
That is all.
Have a good day Hero Creator.
Hey Matzor thanks for taking the time to post,
Acclimate: the immobile ad max lvl does last 1 second, I think any more than that would be pushing it since the ability has 2 other parts to it. She is supposed to be a hard carry with an ult that can be used to setup or initiate gank/team-ganks. Additionally, her third ability steals magic damage/attackspeed/movement speed and while that's not a disable it does really put s an enemy out of the fight.
2nd version second skill: I completely agree, I made it in response to her ulti but it doesn't synergize with anything else, so it got axed. Magic damage is not talking a specific number, it's a percentage. Say they we're going to use the an ability that normally does 300 magic damage, now it is decreased by 50% and will do 150 magic damage. Your own ability's/attacks that deal magic damage is increased by 25%. It is a bit confusing so I will reword it for clarity.
3rd skill: yes I was on the fence about that being too strong. 50% is an easier number to calculate.
Ulti: I wait for more feedback on that because that is only if you're standing within the area, most likely an enemy will move out when they see it down but I do want them to continue to fight so I will reduce the numbers. I can't take out the cliff/tree walking since it is an intricate part of her initiating back-door team ganks, but I will adjust off the movement speed buff.
Remember that numbers seem high, but to get the full buff the raduis of the circle will be halfed giving you less room to use the buff. Honeslty without Staff of the Mastery you almost will never being using the full buff effect from being within the terraformed area. I know the ability has alot to it but if you click on the show tooltip you will see the extra explinations to fully understand what Im going for.
Making a full sized ulti only gives you half of the buff!
Acclimate: Is this a disjoint or a quick jump forward? If it is a jump forward, how far does she jump?
Graft: So Tierra's buff does not taper off over the course of the duration? Also by stolen magic damage do you mean Tierra does bonus magic damage to the target alone or on any source of Magic damage she deals?
Terraform: This skill has way to much going on. While I like the idea of flattening terrain like trees, cliffs, etc. The huge damage this skill deals, the tapering slow, and the buff to allies based on attribute is just too much.
I would remove the buff based on attribute because it requires to much knowledge of how the hero works for his allies. Look at the problems we have had with Rally's Q, those problems due uniformed allies would be much worse with a skill that boosts allies based on their attribute.
Edit: I am glad you used Vector-targeting Based on Length and not just direction.
Haha, thanks man.Banjokazooiy said:I came, I saw, I liked.
That is all.
Have a good day Hero Creator.
Heya Dr.Peckers, how you been bud?
Disjoint means to come apart at the joints I believe, what do you mean exactly? The second part is more for what I'm going for a quick movement in the direction she is facing 250 range. Apostate wanted me to increase it to 350 which is fine but I was also thinking of keeping it 250 and allow her to use it twice within 3 seconds. (Of course lower the immobilization to .5 sec or change to something else.)
Graft: Her buff also tapers off as its 50% equal of the targets attributes stolen.
Here is the math: Target enemy movement speed is 300 it is now reduced to 150. Additionally Teirra will take 50% of that loss, added to herself. If her movement speed is 300 she is now at 375. Same goes for attacking speed and magic damage output from all sources excluding items.
Terraform: Thank you! The damage and slow is only if you leave the terraformed area, after 8 seconds you won't be effected by it. Basically if used in combat it means to say " fight me when I'm a bit stronger or flee and suffer slow and damage"
Also a reminder that you gain the buff only from being within the terraformed area and the larger that area is without staff of masters the lesser the buff is. (read tooltip for exact math)
Edit: thanks I thought we needed something completely different yet easy to use.

MOSCOW, Idaho (AP) — Raheem Appleby scored 28 points and made seven 3-pointers to lead Louisiana Tech over Idaho 67-61 on Saturday night. Kenyon McNeail added 11 points and Kenneth Smith seven points and 10 assists for the Bulldogs (23-3, 14-0 Western Athletic), who overcame a nine-point second-half deficit to win their 15th straight game. Kyle Barone had 19 points and Stephen Madison 13 for the Vandals (9-16, 5-10). Appleby shot 10 of 23 from the field, including 7 of 12 from behind the arc. After Idaho took a 36-27 lead in the second half, Appleby hit three 3-pointers in a 1:43 stretch to cut the deficit to 39-36. His 3-pointer with 8:36 left tied the game at 48-all, and another 3 with 5:18 left gave Louisiana Tech a 55-51 cushion. The Bulldogs maintained that small lead for the rest of the way; when Idaho threatened to make it a one-possession game, Louisiana Tech answered. Mansa Habeeb had 10 points and Mike McChristian nine points and 10 rebounds for Idaho.

Your Baby Your Time
Event Cancellation and Refund Policy
If you suspect that now is the right time to start or add to your family, hold on just a moment. With a little planning, you can get your pregnancy – and your baby – off to a great start.
When you are as healthy as possible before becoming pregnant, your baby has the best chance of growing healthy and strong. Read on to see how these simple steps can help you create a healthy, nourishing environment for you and your baby, even before you conceive.
Folic acid
: Pregnant moms need extra folic acid in their diets to help reduce your baby's risk of being born with birth defects of the brain and spine. This is especially critical in the first weeks of pregnancy. Start taking high quality prenatal vitamin with at least 400 micrograms of this B vitamin before you plan to conceive.
Healthy weight
: Everyone knows that pregnant moms gain weight during the nine-month miracle. But many hopeful parents don't know that it is important for mom to achieve a healthy weight before becoming pregnant. Being over- or underweight can cause complications in your pregnancy. Maintaining a healthy weight and eating a healthful diet before pregnancy can give your baby the best chance at healthy development.
Eliminate alcohol and tobacco: Smoking and drinking during pregnancy can cause a host of birth defects. Give your baby the best chance for good health by cutting out smoking and drinking before conception. Speak with your doctor if you need support in quitting.
Preconception visit: Schedule a preconception visit with your doctor to make sure you are in the best possible health for pregnancy. In addition to discussing diet, exercise, and supplements, your doctor can address any health concerns, chronic diseases, or medications that may impact your pregnancy.

Here's my experience: Almost two years ago, I fractured my left hip in a dirt bike crash; parts of the head of my femur as well as my pelvic bone have screws and plates now.

clarification on cox3's post: QuoteDGCourseReview DGCR SSE stands for Scratch Scoring Estimate. This is what DGCourseReview estimates a scratch player (PDGA Player Rating of 1000) is estimated to typically score on this course (as it is currently set up in DGCR). For those unfamiliar with round ratings, another way of putting it is it's our guess as to what a pro might score on that course.by manglin - General Discussion

Carver 29" Swallow Skateboard
29" Swallow Carver Skateboard
The 29" Swallow has been one of our favorite boards for years and a staple in the quiver. This little board handles like its namesake, fast and loose. The combination of short and wide is magic, because the shorter wheelbase makes pumping this board on the flats just effortless, but the extra width and concave makes it a comfortable cruiser, too. The kick tail completes the versatility, giving you some needed pop for kick turns and crack-in-the-road hopping, explaining why it's been one of the longest running designs in the Carver line.

Zinka Colored Sunblock Zinc Nosecoat
Great for those extended days out in the sun!! This formula not only looks cool but it provides the highest waterproof sun protection possible!
Zinka is the original nosecoat that was very popular in the late 80's, early 90's. It is made from zinc-oxide.
Zinka Nosecoat offers the absolute maximum protection available from the sun's harmful rays. Zinka's proven formula withstands the most extreme weather conditions performing flawlessly in wind, hot, cold & wet. Zinka Nosecoat works as a sunblock not as a "sunscreen". It doesn't rub in like most sunscreen, but goes on opaque to be seen and to afford total protection. A clear sunscreen simply cannot provide total protection. It's clear, the sun's harmful rays will eventually penetrate the skin. It is the color that stays on the skin that ensures maximum protection by not allowing sunlight to be absorbed by the skin.
Endorsed by Dermatologists and extreme athletes worldwide, Zinka protects & performs!
INGREDIENTS: Petrolatum, zinc oxide, beeswax, paraffin, sorbitan oleate, fragrance (parfum), zea mays (corn) starch, tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E acetate) talc, vegetable oil, TBHQ, propylparaben, glyceryl oleate, citric acid. MAY CONTAIN: titanium dioxide, yellow 5 (ci#19140), chromium hydroxide green (ci#77289), ultramarine blue (ci#77007), manganese violet (ci#77742), red 6 lake (ci#15850), iron oxide.

Kalium should have linked this page in his initial answer, rather than just assuming that you would understand the distinction -- which does not really, as yet, have much currency beyond those who work in software development or system administration.
The gist of it is that there is a difference between free software and Free Software. The first is "free" in the sense that "free beer" is free. The second is "Free" in the sense that "free speech" is free. In more concrete terms, if users of the software do not have access to the source code for the software, and do not have the right to modify that source code and change the software to fit their own needs, it's not Free, however little it costs to acquire.

Tiger conservation in Bangladesh
Copyright Elisabeth Farhni Mansur and Rubaiyat Mansur Mowgli
ZSL is working with the Wildlife Trust of Bangladesh to conserve one of the world's largest remaining populations of tigers along with its home in the Sundarbans, the world's largest mangrove forest.
ZSL staff helped create the Bangladesh Tiger Action Plan (4.4 MB), which addresses a full range of tiger conservation issues from tiger and prey poaching to woodcutting, using holistic solutions combining law enforcement, education and livelihood initiatives.
Sharing our Success: First ever translocation of stray tiger back to safety
ZSL is part of the Sundarbans Tiger Project (STP), which started as a scientific research project but has since grown into a holistic conservation programme.
Recently, ZSL and STP assisted the Bangladesh Forest Department in the first ever translocation of a stray tiger (such tigers are usually beaten to death) back to the safety of the forest.
Blogging from the Sundarbans
ZSL conservationists in the Sundarbans are blogging about their experiences, challenges and successes of the integral work they are doing with the endangered Indian tiger.
Conserving aquatic resources in the Bangladesh Sundarbans
ZSL is collaborating with the Wildlife Trust of Bangladesh to develop a new aquatics project in the Sundarbans - the World's largest mangrove forest - investigating the poorly understood fishieres in the region. Find out more
Tigers in the forest
The Sundarbans mangrove forest lies on the delta of the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers on the Bay of Bengal.
As the area is home to one of the largest surviving single populations of tigers in the world, it is clear that conserving the tigers in Bangladesh will therefore contribute massively to the conservation of the species as a whole.
However, despite being legally protected since 1974, the tiger remains very endangered.
Living with Tigers
What would you do if a wild tiger was lurking in your back garden?
It is astonishing to think that this is an everyday reality for the poor families living in the villages bordering the Sundarban mangrove forest that spans Bangladesh and India. These big cats are on the brink of extinction, but faced with the threat of attack on top of a daily struggle against poverty, would you be so keen to conserve the tiger?
Donate to this project
With less than 4000 left in the world - and less than 500 in Bangladesh - tigers need your help.
All donations will go to directly to Sundarbans tiger conservation. Help us to save the tiger.

The Act means the Indian Tribal Economic Development and Contract Encouragement Act of 2000, Public Law 106-179, which amends section 2103 of the Revised Statutes, found at 25 U.S.C. 81.
Encumber means to attach a claim, lien, charge, right of entry or liability to real property (referred to generally as encumbrances). Encumbrances covered by this part may include leasehold mortgages, easements, and other contracts or agreements that by their terms could give to a third party exclusive or nearly exclusive proprietary control over tribal land.
Indian tribe, as defined by the Act, means any Indian tribe, nation, or other organized group or community, including any Alaska Native Village or regional or village corporation as defined in or established under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, which is recognized as eligible for special programs and services provided by the Secretary to Indians because of their status as Indians.
Secretary means the Secretary of the Interior or his or her designated representative.
Tribal lands means those lands held by the United States in trust for an Indian tribe or those lands owned by an Indian tribe subject to federal restrictions against alienation, as referred to Public Law 106-179 as "Indian lands."

I was there on opening day (not midnight, we don't really do midnight showings). The 3D was okay, but it didn't add to the movie at all, I don't think. Prometheus's 3D made the movie bearable, like the person you date that's ridiculously gorgeous but not completely there. Hugo's 3D just added to the period scenery, making it feel a bit more Lush. Nothing on Pandora made me feel that way.
I can imagine. It was an excellent movie in 2D, but it looks like it was designed for 3D, the way Beowulf was. (Okay, Beowulf wasn't that good in 2D either.)You're slightly more forgiven for omitting How to Train Your Dragon, but that one was amazing in 3D as well.
I generally feel this way about 3D, whether it's movies or gaming. I'm already paying $16 for a ticket in 2D, dammit, I don't want another $3.50 tacked on because they want me wearing another pair of glasses. This is why I noted the two examples of movies I thought actually worked in 3D.
I wear 2D glasses too; have since I was eight. Can't imagine wearing contacts or getting LASIK. 3D glasses are no longer bulky; they're more like those cheap souvenir sunglasses you get at the county fair, but large enough to fit over most regular glasses.

Of Mice's Microbes and Man's New research is showing how important the right mix of microbiota is for our health.

Mice have a jungle of bacteria, viruses and fungi in their stomachs—and so do we. These microorganisms help both mice and us break down dinner. As we are finding, these bugs also help to regulate the immune system. But we are just starting to learn how these tiny organisms influence us and how changing their composition changes us.
In an attempt to find out, postdoctoral researcher Hachung Chung and her colleagues at Dennis Kasper's Lab at Harvard Medical School tried raising mice with exclusively human gut microbiota.
The human microbes did pretty well in the mice guts (the researchers could tell by culturing fecal pellets from these mice). Interestingly, though, the mice with these microbes did not: their immune systems remained underdeveloped. Even when researchers gave rat microbiota to mice, the mice's immune systems failed to mature. The results were published in the June 22 issue of Cell.
The findings are "perhaps the most definitive that I've seen," says Eugene Chang, a professor of medicine at the University of Chicago, who was not involved in the new study. They show "the critical and specific relationship between host and gut microbes, which is needed for proper development of the host immune response," he says.
The results support the thinking that we humans have coevolved with our microbes—and we're probably not the same without them. "The selection of partners is not by chance," Chang says. And that might explain why as we alter our microbiomes—with antibiotics and superclean upbringings—our immune systems have been changing as well, ushering in increasing rates of autoimmune conditions such as allergies and diabetes. "The consequence is that the balance between us and our microbes, determined through evolution, is upset in ways that impact our health and increase risk for many diseases that were previously uncommon," he notes.
Starting germ-free
For these experiments, starting germ-free is key. These extra-clean mouse colonies have been living for several years—and many generations—without contact even with the lab environment, so their stomachs remain in a prenatal state (as with humans): sans microbes.
The upside to a germ-free mouse facility is that because the animals' cages are sealed in airtight areas, it smells much better than rooms with standard caged lab mice. The downside is that they take a lot of care. Tools, food, bedding and water have to be sterilized via autoclave and introduced through a double-valve seal. Lab technicians and researchers reach into the cages with plastic gloves that are built into the sealed clear covers similar to the enclosure immunodeficient David Vetter, called the "bubble boy," lived in during his short life. A year after starting at the lab, Chung got married. And perhaps even more so than the food, flowers and guest list, she says, she planned the event largely around the mice.
Chung and her fellow researchers were interested in what happened if these mice got non-mousy microbiomes. To compare reactions with different microbiome compositions, Chung could then give these germ-free mice either human, mouse or rat microbiota (by feeding them microbiomes cultured from feces). One group was kept germ-free as a control.

Also there is a class of applications that are hybrid. i.e. With coarse grain parallel code in MPI and compiler detected fine grain parallel code. In some ways this mix of styles has value with modern multi core CPUs in smallish systems. The application footprint for code and data on memory need not be duplicated and the programmer can focus on the obvious big parallel chunks and let the compiler folk attend to the detailed stuff. I suspect that 90% of MPI clustering is associated with less than fifteen common packages. A bit of research into who purchases or down loads these packages would cover most of the MPI cluster computation sites. In all I suspect two or three weather codes, four or five fluid dynamic packages, a couple thermal modeling and a gaggle of chemistry codes will add up to 90%. More guessing, the last 10% contain the next generation work in progress codes and based on the design choices made will shape the clustering needs in the future. For some of these the science is the hard part and what ever abstraction model the author hooks up to will shape purchase requirements... At the recent Stanford HPC conference there were some very interesting talks on their bio chemistry work (Folding at Home) and how they rethought some of their code designs for orders of magnitude speedups. Some of their Alzheimer related research is astounding. It might be that the next bit for FaH might be multi core aware trickery. Later, mitch -- T o m M i t c h e l l Found me a new hat, now what?
