Okay, so remember way back when, when I said that I was going to try and bake low-sugar and cut calories and all that? So public service announcement – this is not healthy. Not by any stretch of anyone's imagination is this low sugar or low fat or low anything. But if you are going to make cinnamon buns once a year – make these – then send the extras with your husband to share with his friends in the army and don't eat more than one!
I have been dying to make cinnamon buns for ages, but it seemed like way too much effort and it's very time consuming and I was worried about who was going to eat it all. Purim comes along and all my problems are solved. I had time to bake (sort of) and a ladies brunch to bring it to so that it did not stay in the house. Rocker Dude was very upset that I chose a time to bake these when he was leaving to the army so I made sure to make him some to bring with him. (I am not going to mention that after I told him to take the less pretty pan with him, he proceeded to take the nice looking ones, but it's okay. It's totally fine. :))
I used the Pioneer Woman's recipe for these buns because it is legend across the blogosphere, and according to her, not too hard to make. You don't even need to use a mixer!
I made the dough on Tuesday night and let it rise in the fridge over night. Then on Wednesday night I rolled out the dough and shaped the rolls. Ree was right – these rolls are a cinch to make which is very dangerous knowledge because now I might just make them more often…
The smell of these buns baking in the oven is amazing, even to my poor stuffed nose. I held out and did not eat a single bun until Thursday morning, when I had one of the end pieces that I had baked separately. One word – Sa-weet! (Like that double meaning there? Sweet awesome and sweet tasty? Eh?)
For all you dieters out there, these cinnamon buns are totally worth being your treat of the week (if you are luck y enough to build a weekly treat into your diet) and to my family who keep complaining that I never make anything for them, when I come visit – these will be on the list.
Recipe (from the Pioneer Woman):
1 quart Whole Milk
1 cup Vegetable Oil
1 cup Sugar
2 packages Active Dry Yeast, 0.25 Ounce Packets
8 cups (Plus 1 Cup Extra, Separated) All-purpose Flour
1 teaspoon (heaping) Baking Powder
1 teaspoon (scant) Baking Soda
1 Tablespoon (heaping) Salt
Plenty Of Melted Butter
2 cups Sugar
Generous Sprinkling Of Cinnamon
1 bag Powdered Sugar
2 teaspoons Maple Flavoring
1/2 cup Milk
1/4 cup Melted Butter
1/4 cup Brewed Coffee
1/8 teaspoon Salt
For the dough, heat the milk, vegetable oil, and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat to just below a boil. Set aside and cool to warm. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit on the milk for 1 minute.
Add 8 cups of the flour. Stir until just combined, then cover with a clean kitchen towel, and set aside in a relatively warm place for 1 hour. After 1 hour, remove the towel and add the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and the remaining 1 cup flour. Stir thoroughly to combine. Use the dough right away, or place in a mixing bowl and refrigerate for up to 3 days, punching down the dough if it rises to the top of the bowl. (Note: dough is easier to work with if it's been chilled for at least an hour or so beforehand.)
To assemble the rolls, remove half the dough from the pan/bowl. On a floured baking surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 30 x 10 inches. The dough should be rolled very thin.
To make the filling, pour 3/4 cup to 1 cup of the melted butter over the surface of the dough. Use your fingers to spread the butter evenly. Generously sprinkle half of the ground cinnamon and 1 cup of the sugar over the butter. Don't be afraid to drizzle on more butter or more sugar! Gooey is the goal.
Now, beginning at the end farthest from you, roll the rectangle tightly towards you. Use both hands and work slowly, being careful to keep the roll tight. Don't worry if the filling oozes as you work; that just means the rolls are going to be divine. When you reach the end, pinch the seam together and flip the roll so that the seam is face down. When you're finished, you'll wind up with one long buttery, cinnamony, sugary, gooey log.
Slip a cutting board underneath the roll and with a sharp knife, make 1/2-inch slices. One "log "will produce 20 to 25 rolls. Pour a couple of teaspoons of melted butter into disposable foil cake pans and swirl to coat. Place the sliced rolls in the pans, being careful not to overcrowd. (Each pan will hold 7 to 9 rolls.)
Repeat the rolling/sugar/butter process with the other half of the dough and more pans. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Cover all the pans with a kitchen towel and set aside to rise on the countertop for at least 20 minutes before baking. Remove the towel and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden brown. Don't allow the rolls to become overly brown.
While the rolls are baking, make the maple icing: In a large bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, butter, coffee, and salt. Splash in the maple flavoring. Whisk until very smooth. Taste and add in more maple, sugar, butter, or other ingredients as needed until the icing reaches the desired consistency. The icing should be somewhat thick but still very pourable.
Remove pans from the oven. Immediately drizzle icing over the top. Be sure to get it all around the edges and over the top. As they sit, the rolls will absorb some of the icing's moisture and flavor. They only get better with time.

Artwork: Frank Springer
Rating: Art / Story

Synopsis:By Omega Steve
Sparkplug suffers a heart attack after Huffer loses his rag with him! So its time for Ratchet to do his thing.
Emotions are running high in the Ark as the Autobots learn of Sparkplug's betrayal. It turns out that despite the sacrifices made for him, he agreed to make fuel for the Decepticons while being held prisoner in their fortress. Huffer points out that Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Brawn and Gears have already been injured protecting humans, and now one of them has potentially helped Megatron to destroy them all! He thinks its bang out of order and Sparkplug should be punished for his treachery! Ironhide points out that the Decepticons are capable of torture and Sparkplug would have had no choice. Even so the mood looks like turning ugly and Sparkplug and his son decide to make a run for it. Jazz blocks their way with a wall of flame and Sparkplug collapses with a heart attack! He needs to get to a hospital quick and Ratchet, whose alternate mode is an ambulance, is the best bot for the job. Accompanied by Buster he carts the stricken Sparkplug off, leaving Prime hoping that the human 'can be repaired'.
Elsewhere Buster's friend 'O' is disgusted by his bar-owning father who has started wearing an Optimus Prime suit to drum-up trade, doesn't he know that Sparkplug was kidnapped by giant robots? Outside he notices that people are starting to leave town as a result of the scare and they advise him to get out too! Over at the Decepticon castle, Megatron steps out for a bit of air and the military tanks unleash their combined firepower against him. When the dust clears the Decepticon is still standing and returns inside laughing. He receives a report on the status of his injured warriors from some anonymous looking medics who we've never seen before. Starscream decides to stir-up some unrest by criticising Megatron for allowing Sparkplug to escape, perhaps the Autobots are refuelling as they speak? Megs unleashes the fury of his fusion cannon on the insolent one, but dispatches Ravage to spy on the Autobots to be sure.
Back at the Ark Prime is mulling over the desperate turn of events that have seen the Decepticons at full strength while his forces are in the grip of a fuel crisis. A full-scale Decepticon assult is now inevitable, but what can he do to counter it? Huffer informs Optimus of Ratchet's recent discovery in the Ark's memory banks. It seems that shortly the ship crashed on Earth it detected the Decepticon Shockwave, who had touched down in a region of Antarctica looking for his missing comrades. Far from being a frozen wasteland, the region known as the Savage Land is actually a pocket of prehistoric jungle that survived the extinction of the dinosaurs and numerous ice ages. The Ark's answer to this threat was to reconstruct five Autobots, Snarl, Grimlock, Swoop, Sludge and Slag, and give them the ability to transform into dinosaurs. Thus the Dinobots had been created and dispatched to confront Shockwave. What happened next is unknown but Ratchet has dispatched an Ark probe to investigate.
Things just go from bad to worse for the Autobots. They finally get Sparkplug back and what happens? He goes and has a heart attack before he can make any fuel! Time for plan B I would have thought: getting Wheeljack to come up with a way of converting gasoline. Surely he's smarter than Sparkplug anyway? Ratchet's timely intervention seems a minor thing but it would propel him into a central role in up-coming issues (see issue 22 onwards). The US writers were already thinking of life beyond the four issue mini-series here by laying the foundations for the Dinobots and Shockwave to come into the comic. It turns out that the Ark created the Dinos to battle Shockwave four million years ago, however what is not clear is why it didn't repair everyone else if it was online? Also, how come it identified dinosaurs as inhabitants of the savage land if it couldn't recognise organic life when scouting around in 1984? Anonymous robots are shown in this issue fixing the Decepticon injured - but they are never seen again. Who were they? Where did they go?
This is the first Transformers Christmas issue and there are some best wishes from the editorial team in the Openers pages. Hasbro's Anthony Temple has a column telling kids that Megatron will be on sale by Easter 1985 and advising people to save their robot points! According to him, Jazz, Prime and Starscream are the best selling TF toys of the day!

More heat. Dripping with sweat again before breakfast. The pool is like a bath, but at least helps to keep the flies at bay. Had a really good night's sleep and my new electric shock gadget for mossie bites is working wonders for the itching.
We nipped out to the general store in the morning and still can't quite believe the friendliness of the people here. Everyone talks to everyone and everyone seems genuinely interested in how you are and what you're up to.
As soon as a mild breeze picked up, I ventured out with the camera and watched the new Cicadas emerging from the ground, climbing up the trees trunks and shedding their larvae jackets. They are the most annoying insects around, but considering they have spent 17 years underground, it seems unfair not to let them sing as loud as they like when they finally do emerge and grow wings. I just wish there weren't so many of them!
"Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white." –Mark Jenkins

Most industry firms counsel their agents not to go over the relative merits of schools, within as little as prohibit it outright. The reasons why? Federal fair housing regulations prohibit steering, the practice of guiding potential buyers toward or away from certain neighborhoods based on race. Because recommending one school over another could possibly be interpreted as steering, it is the policy a number of new york city real estate firms not contain school zoning or district information in their listings. In any case, your realtor is not an education specialist. What he or she knows is property. It's up to you to choose which schools are right for your children and all your family.

The 'brothers' have made an exciting announcement. And we'll be seeing them on our screens again soon...
It's official. Kem Cetinay and Chris Hughes have become the very first Love Island pair to be given their own spin-off show.
And how worthy they are.
We can only imagine the kind of things that will be included, what with their 'deep' and hilarious heart-to-hearts and their, er, blossoming rap careers.
Yup. Amongst all of the love and tears and tantrums, there was one relationship that had the nation hooked this summer – and it was the one that grew between Chris and Kem.
The bromance-to-top-all-bromances, viewers at home watched them get closer and closer, with many even wishing that they could couple-up in order to win the show together.
See: Love Island's Gabby Is Being Body-Shamed And It's Not Okay
Even grime artist Stormzy got in the action, 'meeting' them via FaceTime while they were still in the villa, and tweeting them both since the ITV2 series has come to an end.
Following rumours of their own show, the news has officially been announced on Love Island's social media accounts.
Kem then shared a cosy snap with his 'bruverrrrrrr from another motherrrrr', along with the words: 'THE SECRETS OUT! Me and my boy @chrishughesofficial are back on the screens with our own show @itv2 ❤🤙🏽' [sic].
See: Love Island's 'Muggy Mike' Gets Involved In Chris And Olivia's Drama
The Sun report that a TV insider revealed: 'Kem and Chris will begin filming for their brand new show this week.
'The series will be all about their bromance and what happened from the point of them leaving the villa until now.
'It has been commissioned as a two-part series at the moment – with the thought to develop it into a longer running show.'
Fans of the pair have been quick to share their excitement, with reactions including: 'Now this is going to be a good, funny show, I'll definitely be watching', 'best couple hands down! 😂❤' and 'Yessss! I can't wait!'
Congrats, lads.

Scientists have created a life-threatening virus that closely resembles the 1918 Spanish flu strain that killed an estimated 50m people in an experiment labelled as "crazy" by opponents.
US researchers said the experiments were crucial for understanding the public health risk posed by viruses currently circulating in wild birds, but critics condemned the studies as dangerous and called on funders to stop the work.
Scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison used a technique called reverse genetics to build the virus from fragments of wild bird flu strains. They then mutated the virus to make it airborne to spread more easily from one animal to another.
"The work they are doing is absolutely crazy. The whole thing is exceedingly dangerous," said Lord May, the former president of the Royal Society and one time chief science adviser to the UK government. "Yes, there is a danger, but it's not arising form the viruses out there in the animals, it's arising from the labs of grossly ambitious people."
Influenza viruses circulate freely in wild bird populations. Most remain in chickens, ducks and other birds, but occasionally strains mutate into a form that can infect humans. The H5N1 bird flu strain has killed at least 386 people since 2003, according to WHO figures. The Spanish 1918 flu is thought to have come from birds too.
Writing in the journal Cell Host and Microbe Yoshihiro Kawaoka describes how his team analysed various bird flu viruses and found genes from several strains that were very similar to those that made up the 1918 human flu virus. They combined the bird flu genes into a single new virus, making a new pathogen that was only about 3% different from the 1918 human virus.
The freshly made virus – the first of several the team created – was more harmful to mice and ferrets than normal bird flu viruses, but not as dangerous as the 1918 strain. It did not spread between ferrets and none of the animals died. But the scientists went on to mutate the virus, to see what changes could make it spread. Seven mutations later, they had a more dangerous version that spread easily from animal to animal in tiny water droplets, the same way flu spreads in humans.
Kawaoka, who led the research in a high-security lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said the work highlighted how flu viruses found in wild bird populations had the potential to adapt to humans and cause a pandemic.
Follow-up experiments showed that the 2009 swine flu vaccine and the anti-viral drug tamiflu should be effective against the virus. "This is important information for those making decisions about surveillance and pandemic preparedness," Kawaoka told the Guardian…. see more

Hi, I want to learn how to use Monkey 2, so the only viable way I see of doing it is to create a website and make tutorials, and give feedback to the knowledge. My concern is if there are no inconveniences with using the respective Monkey 2 logos and if there is a specific license to use them.
On the other hand, how do I find the plugin that has the syntax to write Monkey code in WordPress.
Kind regards.

Yes, a Spanish site would be great!
Logos etc can be found at the download link above:
As for syntax highlighing, this site uses the crayon plugin which has 'monkey' as one of its supported languages so we just use that!March 12, 2018 at 12:31 am #13970
Que? Hahaha! 🙂
Si necesitas ayuda, posiblemente te pueda ayudar. Ultimamente no he tenido tiempo para dedicar a la programación pero cuando pueda lo hare.
Mi español no es muy bueno pero ojalá y te sirva en algo.

@Mark Sibly Thanks You!! 🙂
@jesse o.O? Es muy agradable que alguien hable español 🙂
Well, I've already started writing on the site, and in a way what I learned with Blitz3D and especially with BlitzMax helps a little bit to understand the power of Monkey 2. Although there are strange things I can't understand about everything. Such as the following code.12345' BlitzMaxLocal numero:Byte = 255Print numero ' Print 255 Ok!Monkey1234567891011121314151617' Monkey 2Class boxField visible:Bool = TrueEndFunction Main()Local myBox:box=New boxLocal numero:Byte = 255Print(myBox.visible)Print (numero) ' Return -1 <<< o.O?End
I don't know what I'm missing, in BlitzMax a byte data type has a range from my perspective of 0 to 255, in Monkey 2 obviously something is happening. What is it?
Kind regards.March 12, 2018 at 9:35 pm #13987
@yue – The based types are all signed, for unsigned "Yue" can add the "U" to the prefix the data type for the unsigned version.
Byte 8 bit signed integer.
UByte 8 bit unsigned integer.March 12, 2018 at 11:58 pm #13988
@yue if you have time watch this video:
cambia las opciones the subtitulos a "autoTranslate ->Spanish".March 23, 2018 at 11:33 pm #14120
Mark SiblyKeymaster
All integral datatypes in monkey2 are 'signed' by default with 'unsigned' variants of each. For example, 'i:Int' is a signed int, while 'i:UInt' is unsigned. So 'b:UByte=255' should do what you expect, as UByte is the unsigned variant of Byte.
With blitzmax, you didn't get a choice: byte and short were always unsigned, int and long were always signed (I think it was).March 28, 2018 at 10:28 pm #14165
Yue, You should try this code in BlitzMax:Monkey1234[crayon-5c6bc92a977c5839755201 inline="true" ]Local a:Byte = -2Print aApril 18, 2018 at 9:35 pm #14400
Yue, no soy muy activo en redes sociales, pero me encantaría ver una comunidad de Monkey2 en castellano 🙂

Birth Trauma Recovery
Hello – welcome to this page.
The very fact you are here and looking to get help to get you through your experience – I am sorry for what's happened to you and that it wasn't the experience that you wanted.
When we've experienced birth trauma/birth grief or another perinatal trauma (breastfeeding, baby in neonatal, postnatal experience) it can cause us to feel some of these emotions:
- Sadness
- Anger
- Guilt
- Frustration
- Disappointment
So unhelpful…..
Having a birth or another perinatal experience which wasn't as you expected can cause the following issues:
- Heightened level of anxiety
- Not bonding with your baby
- Relationship problems with your partner/family
- Inability to cope day-to-day
- Postnatal depression/anxiety/PTSD
- Flashbacks
- Numbness
- Disassociation
- Inability to sleep
- Restlessness
These can affect mum – however, it can affect Dad too (yes Dads are susceptible to PTSD/PND/Anxiety and more) – just as much!!!!
BUT GREAT NEWS – you are here and you recognise you need help to get through this experience.
And unfortunately you are not alone – I receive a steady stream of messages from parents seeking help to overcome what their experience has been. In fact, this was one of the reasons I learned to use this technique BECAUSE I met so many women wanting a doula for their second birth who had been traumatised by their first experience. I wanted a quick and effective way of supporting them and this is it.
Here's a bit more information about it:
"I was diagnosed with postnatal depression and post traumatic stress disorder after becoming seriously ill with sepsis & pneumonia a few weeks after the birth of my baby girl. I was struggling to cope, to look after my older children, couldn't sleep without having nightmares, and fell into a really dark place. On the days I managed to drag myself out of bed I found myself pretending I was getting out and about when my older kids were at nursery/partner at work, and would change the position of the pram then throw some clothes on before they came home to make it look as though we had been out. I was desperate to feel able to cope with all 3 kids on my own and yet the thought made me feel sick, as though it wasn't possible.
I visited Tricia for Rewind therapy and I can honestly say it has turned everything around for me.
After a couple of sessions and some more reflection on things I hadn't been able to properly process before I am back to enjoying looking after my children and having confidence in myself a mother. I go out because I want to, not because I have to. There's rarely a day in the week that I'm not meeting someone for coffee/lunch or going to a baby group. I have known Tricia and admired her work for some time, I probably wouldn't have considered Rewind therapy if it wasn't her I had heard about it from, but I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who is experiencing any form of trauma. It's hard to explain exactly what it's like but Tricia is clearly a natural with it, as I got so relaxed and into the "zone" I fell asleep during my first session. I am so very thankful for my opportunity to receive this help and get my life back on track."
So here's how Birth Trauma Recovery can help you:
The aim of Birth Trauma Recovery is to allow you to come to terms with your birth or post-birth experience. It won't erase the memory of your baby's birth/experience, but it will enable you to reflect differently.
- Identify and isolate specific events or series of events around your birth/experience that are causing you difficulty to process – maybe ruminating in your head
- Explore the emotions that you've been experiencing
- The REWIND process may help to neutralise these feelings – ie you won't cry or feel angry when you remember your baby's birth
- Helps you re-gain control and get on with life again
- You may be able to discuss your birth calmly and openly
- You may feel much more positive towards the birth experience
- It may give you the freedom to confidently plan your next birth (if you are planning to have more children)
- You might feel less anger or disappointment.
Birth Trauma Recovery may be for you if you:
- Are needing help to overcome your birth
- Want to be at peace with your birth
- Are ready to work through the experience and isolate any specific triggers
- Have tried other therapies and nothing has worked
- Are open to trying a completely different approach
- Prioritise your health and well-being
So what is Birth Trauma Recovery?
- One-to-one sessions over Skype or in my home in Edinburgh
- Are for mums or dads who need the space to process the birth they have experienced or witnessed
- Uses a mixture of tools – primarily REWIND (see below) or EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique – often referred to as tapping) which can help get to the root of the issues very quickly and also help to release and reduce the intensity around these
- If needed, you might be taught EFT which you can use as a method to whenever you get a flashback or trigger (and you can use throughout the rest of your life)
- Identify any other ways you can get help and support through this time
- Helps regain control over your emotions
- Safe, non-judgemental and confidential space
So what ISN'T Birth Trauma Recovery
- Removal of your memory
- Counselling – this is a technique to help you to remove the emotions surrounding the birth/other experience
Where do I have experience using this technique?
I've used this technique successfully with mums and dads who have had:
- Difficult births
- Had a difficult post birth experience (eg sepsis or long term stay in hospital for other health issue)
- Babies have been separated post birth due a complication
- Breastfeeding trauma
- Stayed in the Mother and Baby Unit
- Recovering from postnatal depression/anxiety (PTSD from PND is something that can happen)
- An experience pre-birth such as surgery, fertility, or something else which may impact the birth
- Tokophobia (fear of childbirth)
What is the 'REWIND' technique?
It's a non-intrusive, safe and highly effective psychological method for de-traumatising people, which can also be used for removing phobias and is only performed once a person is in a state of deep relaxation.
When they are fully relaxed, they are encouraged to bring their experience to the surface and then are calmed down again by being guided to recall or imagine a place where they feel totally safe and at ease.
Their relaxed state is then deepened and they are asked to imagine that, in their special safe place, they have a TV set and a DVD player with a remote control facility. They are asked to imagine floating to one side, out of body, and to watch themselves watching the screen, without actually seeing the picture (creating a double dissociation). They watch themselves watching a 'film' of the traumatic event that is still affecting them. The film begins at a point before the trauma occurred and ends at a point at which the trauma is over and they feel safe again.
Besides being safe, quick and painless, the technique has the advantage of not re-traumatising the client. Intimate details do not have to be made public.
The overall effect is that instead of remembering your birth in the same way, you start to be able to calmly reflect on your birth with all emotions removed.
Why REWIND?
It is a very effective and well tested technique that neutralises the disturbing feelings associated with trauma. The memory of what happened still exists but it no longer provokes any of the emotions associated with the events.
Here's the evidence from PTSD Resolution Charity that supports veterans with PTSD (specifically Human Givens approach).
Tell me MORE – I'm ready to book
Session details:
- Sessions will take place at a time of your choosing via Skype or in person in my home
- You can start anytime after your baby is born, I'd suggest waiting at least 4-6 weeks to see how the brain is already working through your birth
- You can do this at any point in your pregnancy
- Most clients will only need two sessions, others might need more if there are other issues going on too – it might be that those clients move on to EFT sessions
- £125 for two sessions – it is expected that it will be 2 sessions. Very occasionally, more sessions might be needed but not expected.

text: Design Ideas For a More Functional Driveway Having a well designed and also appropriately mounted driveway could be a tremendous change in how you access your residence. They come in many shapes and sizes, and can significantly improve the value and efficiency of your home. STRAIGHT DRIVEWAYS This is the most basic kind of driveway. It provides the most direct path up to the home. Visually, it is quite geometric and has a tidy form, so it functions well from a contemporary, brand-new developments. This kind of driveway also works for a vintage fine art Decor look. Straight driveways are also an impressive entrance into a large residential property. ROUND DRIVEWAYS Round driveways add a sophisticated dimension to larger properties, providing a unique space for gardening, sculptures, and other landscaping features. This space could also be used for added privacy, without resorting to the plain aesthetic of hedges. SEMI-CIRCULAR DRIVEWAYS This is an alternative worth thinking about, as it takes much less room than the round drive. It still supplies sophistication to the property, without losing functionality. When thinking about safety and security, it is a smart shape to choose. Because vehicles can pull in and out from either direction without having to reverse into the street, it is an ideal choice for homes on busy roadways. This design, too, leaves room for interesting landscape designs. L-SHAPED DRIVEWAYS This is a great form to consider if you have a long, slim entry up to your home, and into a garage located off to the left or right of your front entrance. The bottom component of the driveway takes the automobile throughout the base of the land as well as after that directly up to the car parking or garage area part. S-SHAPED DRIVEWAYS If you have a sloping entry to your home, you have to take into consideration a "tipped" or winding technique for cars and pedestrians. Once again, this is truly for bigger plots of land. there are naturally other ways to deal with sloping property, but this is a popular, safe, and attractive option to think about. No matter the idea, we can help it come to life. Call McFarlane Asphalt today at (201) 327-5258 for a more functional yard in Ramsey.

Capsule: The StarKiller is an experimental planetary defense weapon designed by Lobic Arms. It is currently undergoing field testing in the hands of the Noqtuar HPL faction on the northern continent of the planet Fanjin. The StarKiller has exhibited a few flaws so far, but in general it is shaping up to be a major success. The chief flaw lies in the fact that the StarKiller is a projectile weapon, rather than an energy weapon. This design was chosen for a number of reasons, primarily to cut down on the costs and energy consumption of the weapon. The problem with this design is that the depleted uranium projectiles can be shot down when fired at a target at long range. This is a heroic task. The other main problem is a bug in the targeting software which causes the system to respond slowly (fire control 0D) if an attempt is made to track a target of less than 40m in length. The R&D teams are currently working on a solution to the targeting problem. Despite these problems the StarKiller is a formidable piece of artillery. If it weren't for the 12 StarKiller prototypes the HPL would have lost their toehold on Fanjin. As it is, they were able to use the StarKillers to make any attempt by their rivals, the FNA, at orbital bombardment far too costly to be worth it.
