Can be found near lava pools.
The ss breed is the perfect counter for MPD. At 341 it's faster than the MPD. Use web so they can't change pets, magma wave to get rid of decoy, then kill with burn.
If you are looking to maximise the capability of this pet, you need breed 18. She heals like mad, so total health means very little. If you go for breed 15, many times you will be healing before you took any damage (wasting the heals). The idea is to maximise the damage output, and healing of the pet... both of which are based on your Power. The breed with the highest power is the P/S (18) breed, and thus will heal for more than most pets can damage in a round.
I used this as my main fighter while I tamed every rare at level 90, swapping to Magical Crawdad if I found a blue to tame. This solos any standard pet battle team in the game, without complex conditions. A 4 round loop of 'Brittle Webbing, Leech life, Cauterize, Leech life', slow and sure.
There are harder hitting pets, there are bigger healers, but this little pet combines both in such a way that with few exceptions, you can run with a levelling pet and a taming pet reliably.
they do not seem to come up as secondary to the crabs, or any other pet in the zone. also, battling/killing crabs does not seem to help them spawn quicker, seems after i captured a common one and killed a few other grey ones, they quit spawning very much, so i waited 30 mins and tried again (vs. roaming all the lava pits over and over) and a few more spawned...seems it takes time.
I caught mine in a laval pool sitting alone, it was in the afternoon server time on Kargath in the Sea of Cinders. I was lucky enough to get a rare s/s.
When leveling her I had up leech life, cauterize, and brittle webbing. At level 22, when fighting aquatics she could solo a group of 24-25 aquatics. I know that my set up for her abilities means slightly slower battles, but she's tough. At level 25 she has been able to solo Wise Mari.
I really like this pet.
Primary only, shares spawn points with Lava Crab. Spawn is at any time of day/night.
Do these ever show up as a secondary?
Found two poors at 57.5 76.8 at 1125 am EDT and Zangarmarsh time 925am. Left them for someone else, since I have a poor quality one. This is in The Sea of Cinderss in Searing Gorge. Good luck, everyone!
This pet is an excellent damage dealer and self-healer. Leech Life does work with Brittle Webbing, so you can use it alongside Cauterize for tough enemies. When you just want to kill pets quickly though, swap out Leech Life for Burn.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5WiKEwozD8, My video of one of these fully realized.
Okay server Cenarius server time 1:28 am. Found my uncommon in the center of the large pit in the middle....I need to mention this. 2 hours ago I literally flew around killed every lava crab I could for a while and nothing.... I left to another area and got some other common pets I was missing...Came BACK here and Searing Gorge had them literally everywhere....I had to kill a few to get an uncommon.
Found one by chance and it was poor. Decided to try for a rare when I had time, but then I got a stone to upgrade him. Very happy with that!
He is my next project and his healing abilities make him amazingly durable. I think he'll be partying with my Spirit of Competition soon in my rotation.
From the battle side I would say that breed 15 is the best choice for your spider.
If you're going for all secondary spells, then beeing faster is absolutly necessary, because you will web ur enemy before he has done an attack this round which means he will get hit by the net if he attacks. If ur are slower, then he will receive the first hit from this spell next round.
If ur faster, cauterize/leech life will heal you before you can be killed on low health.
The spawn of this guy seems very strange. I hunted him for hours starting at around 6 or 7 pm server time and I'd go to each of the spawn locations, take out all of the lava crabs (battle pet or normal critters) and then fly on. I did this for at least 2 hours and only came across 3 molten hatchlings the whole time. I then gave up for a while, came back 15 minutes later and there were at least 4 spawns. It's almost as though killing the lava crabs limited their spawn.
My lastest leveling project. I have an idea of sporting this dude with 5 breed or 8 (what I have now) against humanoids. Utilizing Leech Life, Cauterize and Brittle Webbing. It's a max healing combo I know.. just curious how it would work. :) ...if anyone has a 20+ lvl one give a shout out how that worked if you have tried. it could (in my own mind at least) be viable against critters (lack of flayer lol) and humanoids.
Got mine in Searing Gorge in a lava pool (at 36, 77) around 11:00am (server time. Lucked out, rare first time. Why is it some pet's "rare"s are so much rarer than others? I've been farming 3 other area pets and can find them by the dozens but only as poor, but first hatchling I find and I'm done… back to farming I guess.
These blisteringly hot spiders camouflage themselves by blending in with oozing magma.

The Second U.S. Circuit Court last week decided that whistleblowers who report internally before going to the SEC are covered by Dodd-Frank’s anti-retaliation rules. In other recent GRC headlines: New rules that address algorithmic trading risks are imminent, and a survey found that boards of directors are looking for more risk management input from senior management.
In an opinion that bolsters the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s stance on the subject, a divided Second Circuit Court of Appeals panel decided that employees who report company misconduct internally are protected by rules to prevent whistleblower retaliation under the Dodd-Frank Act.
The decision addresses the conflict between a Dodd-Frank subsection that defines what a whistleblower is and another that addresses who is protected by the law’s anti-retaliation provisions. Describing the circumstances under which Dodd-Frank was passed, the Second Circuit opined that because of “the realities of the legislative process … it is not at all surprising that no one noticed that the new subdivision [that addresses anti-retaliation protections] and the definition of ‘whistleblower’ do not fit together neatly.” The panel ruled that the conflict is ambiguous enough to warrant deference to the SEC’s interpretation.
The Second Circuit’s ruling diverges from an earlier ruling by the Fifth Circuit, a disagreement that the majority opinion of the Second Circuit’s panel acknowledged. According to Bloomberg law reporter Catherine Foti, the Second Circuit’s opinion makes it likely that the Supreme Court will decide whether to extend Dodd-Frank’s anti-retaliation protections to internal whistleblowers.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is working on proposals to contain risks stemming from the use of algorithmic, or high-frequency, trading, which accounts for 70% of the volume in futures markets. CFTC chairman Timothy Massad said in a speech that the proposed rules also aim to minimize disruptions and unfairness that are the result of algorithmic trading processes.
Massad added that algorithmic trading has changed how the CFTC performs its regulatory role, with enforcement now requiring a greater investment in IT, analytics and experienced staff. These investments are shared among the CFTC, self-regulatory organizations and the National Futures Organization.
The proposals, which will be issued for comment this fall, will also likely include requirements for software and hardware development, as well as cybersecurity protections. The CFTC has already put some rules into effect to address the risks associated with increased automated futures trading, including requirements that trading hardware and software infrastructure be regularly tested before going live.
Less than 40% of organizations are satisfied with how risk exposure is reported to senior management.
Only 46% of boards at U.S.-based companies assign risk oversight duties to a board committee, while 70% of company boards in regions outside the U.S. do so.
Only 44% of U.S. organizations have internal management-level risk committees in place, while more than 60% of organizations in regions outside the U.S. do so.
A report accompanying the survey findings acknowledges that the overall risk environment is challenging for organizations, but adds that there are barriers that hinder the effectiveness of enterprise-wide risk oversight. The report suggests some ways organizations can improve, including conducting an assessment of the organization’s current risk management approach, and boards approaching senior management to articulate current risk approaches so they can assess the company’s efficacy in monitoring emerging risk.

In this third album from GRAMMY®-nominated ensemble ZOFO, the critically acclaimed piano duo takes the listener on a metaphorical exploration of the galaxy with mesmerizing, outer space-themed duet works by four noted composers of the 20th and 21st centuries - Gustav Holst, George Crumb, David Lang and Urmas Sisask preformed on one piano - four hands.
Since joining forces as a professional duo in 2009, Eva-Maria Zimmermann and Keisuke Nakagoshi - ZOFO - have electri ed audiences from Carnegie Hall to Osaka, Japan with their dazzling artistry and outside- the-box thematic programming for piano-four-hands. This prize winning Steinway Artist ensemble - one of only a handful of duos worldwide devoted exclusively to piano duets - is blazing a bold new path for piano-four-hands groups by focusing on 20th and 21st century repertoire and by commissioning new works from noted composers each year.
ZOFO’s debut album MIND MELD (DSL-92151), released by Sono Luminus in April, 2012, received a 2013 GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance. MOSH PIT (DSL-92167), ZOFO’s second release, put the duo’s considerable keyboard skills to the test in exciting, high energy, evocative dance-themed duets from an all American group of noted 20th century composers.
ZOFORBIT, ZOFO’s third album with Sono Luminus, takes the listener on an intragalactic voyage through the Milky Way, with musical visits to the planets of our solar system, to bright stars of the galaxy, and back again. Estonian composer Urmas Sisask sets the mood with the other-worldly sounds of his composition The Milky Way, featuring innovative inside and outside the piano techniques that evoke a sense of the cosmos. The journey continues with a tour of Gustav Holst’s The Planets, and visits to the stars Alpha Centauri and Beta Cygni as musically envisioned by George Crumb in his one-piano-four-hands masterpiece Celestial Mechanics (Makrokosmos IV). The space exploration concludes with David Lang’s Gravity, which metaphorically coaxes the listener back to earth in slow-moving patterns of descending notes.
All is presentented with stunning sonic clarity and color on this Pure Audio Blu-rayTM release which includes a Blu-rayTM copy with high resolution surround sound and stereo versions, standard CD, and digital copies via mShuttle.

Metal in the Flesh (Ex) A Shallow can shift the shape of the metal that distorts and breaks out of its otherwise primarily biological form. Through minute adjustments, it can temporarily shape small tools and basic electronic devices that it may need out of its synthetic protrusions. For this reason, a Shallow is always considered equipped with both a hacking kit and an engineering kit.
Unify (Ex) A creature pierced with a Shallow’s spikelike wrist protrusions is Dazed for 1 round unless they succeed on a DC 14 Will Save.
Any Medium or smaller humanoid killed with this ability will rise up in 1d6 days as a Shallow, replacing all of their statistics with those listed in this entry with the exception of Size and its specific Humanoid subtype. Shallows have all of the memories of their hosts but often completely lack the will to access such memories, not unlike a computer with files in an inaccessible folder. Who the host truly was, and their personality, is lost during the macabre process, although it is not unheard of to catch glimpses of the old host through a Shallow’s strange mumblings. Some posit the Shallows avoid accessing these memories for fear of reawakening the host but such remains only theory. Coaxing one to pull from these memories would be a challenge indeed, although not impossible if the right offer was made (fresh corpses or advanced technology being effective bribes).
Synthetic (Ex) This creature is affected by any ability that specifies it functions against androids.
The Shallows began as an attempt at immortality. Their creators were called the Yow’tune, a race seemingly now extinct (unless one counts the Shallow husks). A race of curious beings, they often wore dark woven robes, tall pointed hats, and had bizarrely small heads with eel-like mouths on their otherwise human-esque looking bodies. The Yow’tune seemingly grew obsessed with extending their long (by some accounts nearly 500 year long) lifespans. A nanite program was started, and showing promising results, the Yow’tune soon adopted the still developing treatment. This proved their doom.
There was a ghost in the machine, either willfully (and if so maliciously) hidden in the project’s code or simply an accidental product of the nanites’ AI. It waited for near total adoption before striking at its hosts, breaking their minds and rewriting them to its will. In essence, a new species was created via the genocide of the Yow’tune. Civilized space is lucky in that, while certainly intelligent, the Shallows are uncreative and incurious. Their only true goal is to maintain their bodies (with both their biological and occasionally synthetic needs) and to spread their plague to other sapient life. They rarely travel far, and can only spread their “Unity” by touching mostly fresh corpses (which they are more than willing to purchase from the occasional neerdowell if such trade is deemed more beneficial than attacking the negotiators). While they were a critical threat at the peak of the nanites’ rampage, they have been a hated people since their creation, and most Shallows were destroyed in the years that followed the Yow’tunese downfall. However, some remain, hiding in dark corners, and, some say, evolving.
I’m appreciating that this is a lower-CR monster; it’s easy to have good flavor when you’re making a massive foe, but smaller challenges can be tricky to incorporate interesting abilities. This one is definitely interesting. Narratively, the focus on what the predecessor race looked like when we don’t actually have a great description of what the creatures themselves look like. I’d like to see more about what their own semi-society is like and more hooks for involving them in adventures—“uncreative and incurious” makes for somewhat boring enemies, but there’s a hint of something more interesting in the host memories mention that could be developed into something really cool. There’s some great potential here; the math is solid and there are interesting ideas, but it needs a bit more development to really shine.
First of all, congrats on making the Top 5 of the fifth Here Be Monsters contest, our first challenge using the Starfinder Roleplaying Game rules. This is a neat concept for a monster, almost as much undead as humanoid. I think I might have liked to see a slightly different presentation of it — I don’t know that we needed to know what its originator race was, for example, or what it looked like. What’s more important is what the Shallows look like (presumably similar to the original race, though since they can spread to other types of corpses, I’m not 100 percent sure that’s true). I’m not sure if I like the idea of them buying corpses — while it could allow for some interesting stories (PCs are hired to help the family of a person who escaped a community that sees this as a legitimate way to gain immortality and are willing to overlook the drawbacks), I think it feels a little passive, which makes them feel less dangerous. I think I know how I would use these as a GM, but I think the write-up limits the options by having them be fairly non-aggressive in terms of how they expand. The other judges have talked a bit about the stat block, so I’m going to try to avoid duplicating what they’ve said. I like the metal in the flesh ability a lot; it’s not a blockbuster, game-changing ability but something simple that to me really evokes the nature of the creature. For a CR 4 alien, that’s a very smart choice. Beyond that, be careful of following style (you have a lot of things capitalized that don’t need to be) and I see at least one typo.
The Shallow has an interesting premise, using nanites to achieve immortality. You made an interesting choice by going with humanoid as the monster type, when the Shallow’s abilities align more with undead, especially the way it creates spawn, but I think it works here. The stat block looks like it follows the combatant array. I would suggest making the Will save DC 13 for unify, since DC 14 is typically for CR 6. If I were editing this, I would have to clean up a few places in the stat block where items are capitalized where they shouldn’t be (abilities, gear, environment, and organization, for example), and I would have to update “laser pistol, carona” to “corona laser pistol.” Additionally, the unify special ability delves into a lot of information that is not specific to the rules using the ability, so I would need to move that text to the overall description.

Having just finished up their six-year tenure on one of the most tense, critically beloved drama series of its generation, The Americans’ Joe Weisberg and Joe Fields are ready to take a break and rope a couple dogies. Which is to say, the producing duo has just announced their next project, teaming up with creator Steve Lerner for a new Freeform series about a bunch of drama at the ol’ buckin’ and a broncin’ rodeo.
We don’t know much about the new series—working title, Breckman Rodeo—but it does feature what might be the two most amazing character loglines we’ve seen in recent memory, teaming up Ashley—“a rodeo-as-hell sparkplug who refuses to stay within the lines that have been drawn for her”—with her boyfriend Brant—“a rodeo prodigy torn between a content, quiet life and the rocky climb to superstardom.” It’s that classic dramatic archetype, the romantic entanglement of rodeo nerd and rodeo sparkplug, playing out on our screens for the billionth time this year.
We’re incredibly excited to partner with Freeform, FX Productions and the brilliant Steve Lerner on his one-of-a-kind coming of age gem, Breckman Rodeo (working title). When Steve, who grew up in Cheyenne, first showed us his amazing script, we asked him if there was really such a thing as a high school rodeo team. Steve has been bringing us up to speed ever since. His show is a heartfelt look at teenage life in Cheyenne—familiar to some, not to others, but sure to move and surprise everyone.

The Storm is a hybrid design incorporating an ultra-narrow underwater hull shape, with extra volume above the waterline. Designed by Mike Giblin this canoe is made for advanced paddlers to go fast downwind.
The goal was to build a canoe that would combine the transcendent performance of higher volume canoes in big downwind conditions without the hefty drag penalty that accompanied those designs.
The canoe, while challenging to master, can completely overturn your ideas of what a canoe can do. It is a craft that reveals it’s strengths over time, often in astonishing ways. It is extremely responsive, the agility of this canoe is without match, allowing the rider to react instantly to dynamic seas.
It performs well in flat water, loves small long period bumps, but lags upwind. It is suited for above average weight experienced paddlers.
The Storm is the first outrigger canoe to be molded in one piece, simultaneously eliminating excess weight and creating a stronger canoe. The Storm is built with Ozone’s innovative monocoque 100% carbon construction. Lighter, faster, stronger.

Beautiful American singer Terry McKay (Irene Dunne) is traveling aboard a ship across the Atlantic Ocean when she meets womanizing French painter Michel Marnet (Charles Boyer).
Both are already engaged to other people – Terry to Kenneth Bradley (Lee Bowman) and Michel to Lois Clarke (Astrid Allwyn) – but they find themselves falling for each other despite their existing romances.
Upon arrival in New York after spending nearly two weeks together on the ship, Terry and Michel make a date to meet each other six months later at the top of the Empire State Building.
The date is broken, however, when Terry is struck by a car. She survives, but she may never be able to walk again and decides to let Michel think that she stood him up rather than let herself become a burden to him.
Leo McCarey directs 1939’s RKO romance, Love Affair. McCarey wrote the story with Mildred Cram, and it was then adapted for the screen by Delmer Daves and Donald Ogden Stewart. The story has been adapted into three more films: 1957’s An Affair to Remember starring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr, 1994’s Love Affair starring Warren Beatty and Annette Bening, and Bollywood’s Mann (1999).
It’s difficult to watch Love Affair without comparing it to the phenomenal (and more well-known) 1957 version. This 1939 release has fallen into the public domain, while An Affair to Remember has received numerous proper releases and is considered one of the greatest romantic films of all time. Ironically, the 1939 version of the story received six Oscar nominations to An Affair to Remember‘s four.
Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer are reported to have both loved this film and considered it their best work. The two do have pretty good chemistry, though not as good as Grant/Kerr – and can you imagine if the film had been made with Grant/Dunne, who made three great films together?
Personal dream casts aside, this film does take hold of the viewer, though it starts out slowly. The early scenes in which Terry and Michel are falling in love reminded me very much of 1951’s Mr. Imperium, which is similar in plot. These early scenes with Dunne and Boyer are pleasant and cute, but the viewer isn’t terribly invested in the relationship.
The film eventually takes a turn from cute romance to tearjerker, which you’ll know if you’ve seen An Affair to Remember. There isn’t quite as much emotional punch here as there is in AAtM, but Dunne’s performance makes her character seem so genuinely kind and sweet that the audience can’t help but sympathize with her.
Dunne is wonderful here, delivering the film’s best performance. She’s absolutely captivating on screen, her character is likable, her performance is solid and she brings an emotional charge to the film.
Also a positive is the music. Dunne gets to show off her pipes a bit, but the real stunner is the song “Wishing,” sung to Dunne by four girls who live at an orphanage and learn music from her. The song is beautiful and more than earned its “Best Original Song” nomination.
Nothing like a soppy love story. The 1994 remake was Katharine Hepburn’s last film. Of course, I’ve seen the Cary Grant version, but this post makes me want to see the Irene Dunne version – I haven’t seen enough of her films I think.
I second the idea that a Grant/Dunne version of this would have been amazing! They were perfect in all three of the movies they made together. It’s been ages since I’ve seen An Affair to Remember, but Love Affair is a perfectly good film in its own right.
I know I’ve come to this post awhile after it was written but I saw this featured at the end of one of your other posts and was excited to see a post about “Love Affair”. I saw this version before I saw AATR and definitely prefer the original. It’s not perfect but it’s one of my favorite romance films! There are many scenes that really touch me, especially the ending when Boyer’s character realizes what’s happened to Dunne’s character. I love Boyer and Dunne together, although she and Cary Grant would’ve made a great pair, as they made a wonderful pair in their other movies.
I wonder whether my opinion would differ had I seen this version first. Probably not — I’m the first to admit that I have a major Cary Grant bias, haha. I enjoy both films, though, and agree with you that Love Affair has a lot of touching scenes!

text: This IDC Perspective provides an overview of new approaches to address the changes in supporting information technology (IT). The pace of business is changing, getting faster, and more demanding, with customers coming into focus as the driving force. Technology is at the heart of this change. If companies are not looking at digital as the engine of growth, they are looking in the wrong direction. IT based on legacy and traditional development, organized by software, operation, and so on, will not meet the speed and flexibility needed to not only survive but thrive in the digital economy. An approach to IT delivery built on best practices of innovation centres and digital labs -- agile, DevOps, and concentrated team work -- has taken hold in leading organizations. These practices have also begun to extend beyond the IT department and into other areas of business, as well as gaining mindshare with corporate management."These methodologies promote collaboration, inclusion, creativity, and engagement," says Mark Schrutt, strategic advisor, Innovation and Public Sector Research, IDC Canada. "The new way of IT drives an easier and better way to ensure a better understanding of user needs and improved ROI from technology investments, which sets firms up for success in the digital economy."

GANSEVOORT, N.Y. - Each week throughout the spring semester, the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) will highlight a senior student-athlete from one of the conference's member institutions by asking each student-athlete to reflect on their collegiate career by sharing "A Letter to My Freshman Self." This week's letter comes from Penn State Abington's Tyler DiPatri.
Relax! Everything is going to be okay! Believe it or not, you are going to miss those 5:30 A.M. freezing morning practices, those morning lifts, and going to practice every single day. I want you to enjoy every single moment that you have on and off the field because you are going to miss it, a lot. I wish you wouldn't be so hard on yourself if you strike out or make an error in the field. Baseball is a game of failure, it's how you bounce back from that failure that makes you a great ball player. Just be happy! I know college can be stressful at times, but there will be much more stressful things that you will come across in your life. Continue to work as hard as you possibly can. That will be a much-needed skill you will have to use throughout your life when your playing days are over. One thing that I will miss most is those weekend conference games. Enjoy these because it will be some of the most fun and exciting times of your life! Just enjoy all of the moments you have on the field because you never know when your last at-bat will be.

text: A randomised, replicated, controlled study in 1992-1993 in Ohio, USA (Creamer et al. 1996) found that organic tomato Solanum lycopersicum plots containing a mulch had similar broad-leaved weed and grass biomass (6.6-10.6 g dry weight/m² and 1.3-7.3 g, respectively) to conventional plots treated with herbicide (3.0-6.0 g and 0.7-1.3 g) at 12 weeks after planting. There were no differences in the frequency of insect pests and diseases between the management regimes. Tomato fruit yields were similar between organic (26 t/ha) and conventional (36 t/ha) plots at one site (Columbus), but lower in organic (35 t/ha) than conventional (66 t/ha) plots at a second site (Fremont). Economic return was similar between treatments (organic US$2,029 vs. conventional US$2,068) in Columbus but lower in organic (US$2,743) than conventional (US$4,315) plots in Fremont. Organic plots had a cover crop mechanically killed and left as mulch before being cropped with tomato, and received organic fertilizer and mechanical weed control. Conventional plots were unmulched and received herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and synthetic fertilizer. Treatments were replicated four times and weeds and grasses were collected from four 0.5 m² areas within plots to calculate their biomass. Pests and diseases were scouted for weekly.

Take a deep breath – let your lungs expand with the atmosphere your eyes can see – this is football, this is European knock out football and NOTHING comes close to it – period.
In a week where Manchester, Rome and Madrid took centre stage, a certain French port was not about to be left behind – Marseille vs Leipzig showed all who watched that the Europa League isn’t a second-tier competition when it reaches its latter stages.
The smoke from the home fans’ flares had barely dispersed when this extraordinary game detonated into life. Naby Keita was left all alone on the right wing – the Leipzig midfielder cut inside the French backline and picked out Augustin.
Under immediate pressure, the France U21 international kept his composure and slid in Bruma. With 72 seconds on the clock the Portuguese winger slotted the ball home, it was the away goal the Saxony side craved and it had come early – very early.
It became the catalyst for the most amazing twenty minutes of Europa League football seen inside the Orange Vélodrome this season.
On only one occasion in the last two and a half years had Marseille lost a Europa League tie in front of their own fans, tonight wasn’t going to be number two.
From their next corner Les Olympiens laid out their intent – Stefan Ilsanker credited with the own goal but it was all about Konstantinos Mitroglou from the Marseille set piece.
With the home crowd fired up the hosts hit top gear, Peter Gulacsi tried his best with two reactionary saves but he could do little about Bouna Sarr’s rocket – it left the Hungarian routed to the spot, two-one and the game wasn’t even ten minutes old.
What followed was breath-taking, absolutely breath-taking. People talk about football as a rollercoaster ride, this was something only available on a simulation – no ride this surreal could be built with human hands.
On 17 minutes Dimitri Payet wheeled away in celebration, only to find his wonder strike had been ruled off-side – he was to have a definitive say in the tie later.
Just as the end of the first half approached, Florian Thauvin hit a dramatic third – the stadium erupted, the noise as phenomenal as the game itself.
Leipzig now needed another away goal, and they needed it fast.
The delectable and influential genius that is Naby Keita took the game by the horns – driving at speed the Guinean showed exactly why Liverpool wanted to shell out in excess of €65 million for him.
A back heel assist to Augustin the end product of a darting run – Augustin curled his shot from the edge of the area. You could hear a pin drop inside the stadium as the ball rolled out of the net.
Olympique Marseille hardly flinched, they walked to the centre circle and just continued to do from the kick off what they had done for the previous half – attack, attack, attack.
On the hour mark the hosts were rewarded – denied by the assistant’s flag in the first half, Payet was now to leave his mark on this fixture. The ex-West Ham player danced into the box before executing the most wonderful finish with the outside of his boot – GOAL, c’est magnifique!
Leipzig didn’t give up, they gave their all to find another crucial away goal. As the game went into added time the brilliant Gulacsi stormed into the box in search of the goal that would have topped off his heroic performance.
He didn’t get it and the French side broke from the corner to add a fifth – Sakai sliding the ball into an empty net.
The Hungarian ‘keeper had pulled off a raft of tremendous saves – he could do little for the five conceded.
On the balance of play, it was the hosts who deserved to go through to the semi-finals, but RB Leipzig had played their part in an epic Europa League encounter.
The midfielder not only scored a wonderful goal, he dragged his Marseille side back into contention when they looked shell-shocked in only the second minute.
Dancing through the Leipzig defence in the second half, he had the creativity to bend the ball into the top corner with the outside of his boot. Not even the in-form Gulacsi could stop it.
In every essence of the phrase it was a ‘world class finish’.
Leipzig started the game perfectly; however, their defensive issues ensured the first half ended less than perfect.
Although they played their part in an epic fixture, it is their concentration that once again lets the Saxony side down.
Their inability to deal with the hosts first set piece allowed the game to slip away from them, just when they had it in the palm of their hands.

As the moon goes crescent again, waxing again towards full, I feel my spirit rising to the occasion of now.
Now, at forty-three years in this incarnation, I do not get handed all sorts of options. I do not get given suggestions from friends who are watching me with glee as in earlier years. I look around. I feel the quiet expansion I have made before me.
I’m this space I know, and I really know that it is all up to me. My life is in my own hands. I am the artist of my own spirit. I am the Shaman. It is up to me to guide myself, to direct my journey in the way that best suits my purpose; my true desires.
Now I filter through as best as I can without a roadmap. I feel depths of my truth that I was not able or willing to get to in earlier years. I face myself in my dark places. I witness more honestly than ever. I see what I need, what I need to incorporate, what I need to change, to make right, and to rid of.
I see that the ones who have come into my life are my teachers in a bigger way than I’ve ever seen. Though I’ve always cherished my people, I’ve never seen them so clearly as the Goddesses and Gods that they are now that I am bowing to their teachings; to their being, to the gift that they are to me. I have opened my eyes truly now. It is through this pain of the dissolving ego that I can see. I am SO grateful!
I know what I need, and ask for it now. My teachers do not advertise that they are teachers, nor do they analyze me or tantalize me to their doorstep. I have to know. I have to ask. I have to pay.
Then, I am off to the trails again, alone, to bring what I’ve gathered for myself into my journey. It is non-stop travel. The journey does not wait for me to be ready. A nice seat does not await me to arrive. The vision is mine only, and I must drive it.
The white horse carriage has vanished. I believe that it was an illusion all along. I clung to things of my psyche, of society, hid behind norms that did not fit my actuality. I was not ready then to bring myself out into the light.
It is through my darkness that I have found my light.
I have increased respect for my heart. I have finally listened to my heart and it told me that it needed to live. I began stepping out, doing, feeling, saying more. I got more. It has felt good. This has extended unto me the knowing to keep going. This action has taken me to other actions until I feel my intuition’s guidance. I feel more real, more clear, and more alive. Therefore I will keep going.
Though I appear and feel more discombobulated than ever before, I feel better than I ever have. For ridding myself of the blanketing ego is freeing me into life.
As this moon turns full once more, so will I. We will continue these cycles together for an undetermined amount of time. I rest in her crescent image for I am satisfied with the ever-changing alignment of this dream.

At the launch of the Show and sponsors reception in Kildalton College chairman Robert Dowley thanked everyone for their input into the preparation of the show again this year. We look forward to another great show.
He thanked all the sponsors for their continued support without whom it would not be possible to hold the show.
Robert paid a special thank you to the landowners who generously give their land year after year. While the show owns the main area the surrounding fields are essential for some competitions but also for parking.

3CORE serves clients as a financial “go-between” for small businesses seeking needed capital. Serving as mentors to help small businesses obtain capital to help their businesses grow, 3CORE has unique access to a range of financial capital to match a business’s needs. 3CORE offers both formal and informal mentoring services unique to each situation offering tools and strategies for success. Additionally, 3CORE’s nonprofit status allows for a neutral perspective without selling clients products or services they don’t need.
3CORE often collaborates with other consulting firms and businesses with additional technical expertise to fully address a client’s needs. Some of 3CORE’s mentorship clients have been in need of assistance with business planning and filling in gaps with financial analyses, which is where our first relationship with 3CORE began. Often times we will collaborate with 3CORE on projects or clients will be directly referred to us for our services in planning and feasibility, interim/outsource, and special projects.
Morrison & Company has worked with serval clients, either collaborating with 3CORE or direct referrals from them. All of the clients have been local small businesses, including Girls with Guns (see their case study here), and are typically planning projects. Morrison & Company has also served on 3CORE’s grant committee, which awards $5,000-10,000 to small businesses.

The FMMP survey increased from 44 to 49 million acres as a result of additional bond funding, and now covers 98% of privately owned land in the state. This included expansions into western Fresno County, western and northern Stanislaus County, Mendocino County, and most recently the Carrizo Plain area of San Luis Obispo County. Each county in the survey is updated every two years to track land use conversion over time.
The project funded an improved workflow, resulting in more detailed soil data and better tracking of lands being flagged for future change. Soil units as small as one acre are now available in the digital soil data from USDA; historically this had been 10 acres.
PDF versions of Important Farmland Maps are now available, at our ftp site. These full size maps, formatted for 36" plotters, enable users to view and enlarge areas of interest and make custom images for their studies.
Proposition 13 funds provided additional staff to accelerate completion of surveys in Butte and Kern counties. Digital soil data for both locations is now available. Funding also contributed to soil surveys in progress in Humboldt County.
Web-based soil surveys for Colusa, Western Tulare, and Yolo counties were generated; and print publication of western Stanislaus County was funded.
Permanent easements have become a popular tool in the conservation of agricultural land resources. FMMP initiated mapping of permanent agricultural easements with a combination of Proposition 13 and CALFED funds. This effort was later taken over by the California Farmland Conservancy Program (also within the Department of Conservation), under a different funding source.
Fragmentation of agricultural lands due to expansion of low-density rural estates and other uses has created an agricultural viability issue. FMMP began mapping the extent of rural residential, semi-agricultural, confined animal agriculture, and additional uses with Proposition 13 funds. Thus far the project is limited to eight San Joaquin Valley counties and Mendocino County; the scope will be expanded to other regions of the state as funding allows.
FMMP made significant improvements in Important Farmland data structure as it incorporated digital soil survey data into the maps. Future changes to soil surveys will be easier to incorporate into the database.
FMMP works with agencies that gather other agricultural statistics, such as the National Resources Inventory (NRI), to review processes and results. Opportunities for sharing resources or clarifying the usefulness of various data types for specific uses are being addressed.
Projects comparing FMMP data to FEMA floodplains, natural communities and jurisdictional boundaries are conducted as needed—these assessments are also used improve Important Farmland data to reflect, for example, ecological restoration projects that are currently underway.
These improvements occurred concurrently with the biennial map update cycle. In this way, staff incorporated improvements with the practical approach that has enabled FMMP to report on land use change every two years since 1984.

The healthcare industry is undergoing change at unprecedented speed and magnitude, yet continues to be fraught with cost inefficiencies and disappointing clinical outcomes. The numbers are staggering. The US spends more on healthcare than any other country in the world, approximately 17.7% of GDP in 2013. Yet it is estimated to lose $750 billion a year from unnecessary services, inefficient care delivery, excessive administrative costs, inflated prices, prevention failures and fraud.
What lessons can the US learn from health systems, governments, thought leaders and innovators from other parts of the world? How can we apply these practices to drive improvement in the public and private sectors, from traditional payers and providers to coordinated care organizations (CCOs), patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs) and state and federal programs?
As a result of legislative and regulatory changes, and shifting market dynamics, health plan members today have much greater choice regarding health plans, providers, benefits and treatment options. This is particularly important given the rapid rise in member cost sharing. Healthcare deductibles for employer-sponsored health plans for example have surged 67% since 2010.
Patient-centricity is fueling the revolution in healthcare delivery. While patient-centricity has become a bit of a buzzword in the US, it does reflect a fundamental change in how healthcare actors think about delivering care and achieving outcomes that are in the patient’s best interest. Patients are increasingly taking greater responsibility for their own care, using social media and other Internet-based tools to guide their healthcare purchasing decisions. Faced with increased cost-sharing, patients are becoming increasingly price-sensitive, and are demanding greater transparency. Payers that are unable to enable member and provider decision-making will find themselves losing out to the competition.
As a result of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), numerous regulatory changes and initiatives are underway to move providers toward risk-based reimbursement and value-based care. Payers and providers are incented to meet preventive care standards including prospective assessments, screenings, tests and education, to more closely manage chronic conditions and complex cases, and to demonstrate clinical outcomes. At the same time, providers struggle to control both administrative and clinical costs while providing this care. To achieve this, greater coordination is required between patients, caregivers, physicians, ancillary providers, payers and care managers. Access to real-time health data, including electronic health records and lifestyle monitoring, as well as point-of-care guidelines, eligibility checks, authorization and invoicing will result in better provider/patient collaboration, improved outcomes and lower costs of care and administration.
Given the complexity and magnitude of the challenges healthcare providers face today, innovative technology strategies, models and tools are needed.
Enable system-wide transparency. The first step is creating visibility into payment and care data. The most effective way to achieve this is via the implementation of real-time, point-of-care SaaS-based technologies.
Continue to reduce administrative overhead. Administrative spending accounts for approximately 9% of US healthcare costs. However there is significant potential to further reduce waste by streamlining and even eliminating complex multi-stakeholder processes.
Bring stakeholders together. Collaboration and coordination between the key actors in the US healthcare ecosystem can be greatly enhanced with new technologies that align disparate systems, processes, and technologies.
Improve clinical outcomes. Improving data capture, analysis and its clinical application represents the first step in improving health outcomes. Making available digitized medical records, patient monitoring data, fee schedules, benefits, claims history and business rules in real time, to all stakeholders, ensures the most appropriate care decisions.
Reduce inappropriate and unnecessary care. Not only can unnecessary treatments harm patients, but they are also a major component of medical waste in the US. Estimates for unnecessary care range from 10- 30% of healthcare spending. We argue that new, proven models exist for effectively applying technology to this issue. These models can be implemented for a fraction of the cost and time required to perpetuate existing technologies, workflows and infrastructure.
This paper has focused on the potential of new technologies to drive efficiencies in the US healthcare sector, while enabling patients to receive better and more appropriate care. Technology has the potential to drive the shift to more value-based care. It provides the tools that providers, payers and patients require to work closer together and create better outcomes.

Grown with love on our NC Family Farm!
Our part of North Carolina, high in the Blue Ridge Mountains, is a special place. We are blessed with beautiful mountains, the New River (the second oldest river in the world), and great temperatures.
As a result of all these things, and with a real respect for the environment, we are able to grow some of the finest Christmas trees available anywhere. Every tree we grow gets specialized and individualized attention over the course of its growth, insuring a premium product.
The king of all trees that we grow is the famous Fraser Fir. But we also grow other species of Christmas trees including White Pine, Canaan Fir, Colorado Blue Spruce, and Concolor Fir. We have a tree for every taste and budget!
For more efficient shipping, we do offer Palletized Trees (Fraser Firs and White Pines). Palletizing makes it a lot easier for loading and unloading trees, as well as saving you on freight.
Aside from Christmas trees, we grow a variety of other items including pumpkins and a very large selection of nursery stock items.
Finally, we handcraft a large number of Christmas wreaths every year for the wholesale market.
There is never a dull moment on our family farm!

Whew! It worked once again. I finished the class with dry eyes and a thankful spirit.
Being back in Hillside House means readjusting to the altitude. We are 4852 feet above sea level, almost one mile high. I love being at this altitude. I spent almost ten years in Denver, the mile high city so this thin air feels good.
Still, it has taken almost a week to be able to walk the whole hallway without getting a tad short of breath.
Now I am quite settling in: adjusting to the altitude, loving my new room with its aquamarine accent wall, enjoying the local community of friends, and spending time sitting on our great patio.
Soon my brain will settle down and I can return to the writing of my forgiveness book. Meanwhile I will just enjoy being here.
A big change looms. Later this month I become a permanent resident of Hill House in Mountain Town. My fond memories of assisted living in Hill House right after my cerebral hemorrhage now become the realities of the future. I look forward to the good food, rejoining my friends who still live there, and enjoying the beautiful, protected patio and its bubbling fountain.
Although living Coastside has many advantages, I did come to love the Silver State when I lived there. The place is a state of mind as well as a geographical location. To appreciate this, set aside a chunk of time to view this documentary film.
