For Honor Guide: How to Master and Enjoy Ubisoft's Latest | Nerd Much?
For Honor's first big patch just came out a few days ago and the game has been out for a few weeks now, so we thought it might be good to publish this guide. The first thing you should know is this is not a "normal" tips & tricks style guide to get better at the game. The thing about For Honor is the people who "get it" really love the game, but there seems to be a much larger group who either hate the game, find it to be disappointing or think it's just okay. When I first booted up the beta I fell in love with the combat system. I was hooked immediately and thought For Honor was one of the best competitive multiplayer games I'd played in a while.
But then, after dozens of hours, I fell into the "just okay" camp. It seemed that the game got sorta repetitive and I just wasn't having as much fun as I did in those first ten hours. Then I got a PSN gift card as a present and thought "what the hell" and I purchased the digital download. After playing the full retail game, I began to realize that I had only scratched the surface. Honestly, I didn't know how to play For Honor the "right way" for me. I was doing Dominion and Deathmatch modes and was so annoyed by the "dishonorable" play I was seeing. It just wasn't as fun when matches came down to outnumbered fights.
Then I started playing Duels more. Then I discovered that the campaign wasn't too bad. And finally, I got obsessed with mastering every hero and spent hours in practice mode learning all the ins and outs. Now I view For Honor in a different light. And I want to share the light with all of you. What you'll find below are important notes to know about the game right away, a few ways to make the game more enjoyable, and, ultimately, how to get better at fighting. After reading this so-called "guide," you will get better at beating the crap out of people without throwing people off cliffs – and have more fun doing it.
1.) Complete All Tutorials — For Honor has a completely new, unique battle system so it certainly doesn't hurt to run through the tutorials to learn it. Luckily, it is fairly intuitive and simple (yet difficult to master). The tutorials are easy, don't take too long, and, most importantly, award lots of steel for completing them. You will get 3,500 steel for completing both the basic and advanced tutorials, which is more than you'd probably get for finishing three days worth of quests. Even if you think you understand the battle system, just do the damn tutorials because, at the very least, they provide an opportunity to practice your parry and guardbreak timing.
2.) The Campaign Gives Multiplayer Loot/Steel — Let's be honest here, For Honor was not created with a single player campaign in mind. We all know that. What I didn't know, however, is that some of the stuff you earn through the campaign affects multiplayer. Not only can you unlock really cool armor engravings by completing parts of the campaign, but you also earn gear boxes and steel that can be used in multiplayer. I knew very little about the campaign at first and, like most multiplayer-focused games, I put off playing it for a number of reasons (one of which we'll get into later), but if I had known that the rewards weren't completely separate from the online modes then I might have given it a shot way sooner.
3.) Don't Spend Your Steel Yet! — I wish I knew this before I sunk dozens of hours into the game. It is virtually pointless to spend your steel on scavenging for a non-prestige character. For every prestige level your character earns — you prestige your hero by hitting level 21 with him/her — the better the equipment drops within the scavenger crates will be. I had absolutely no idea that there was even different colored equipment at first. I thought the equipment ranked from level 1 – 4 and it was really rare to see a level four piece of gear. Then when the full game launched and people started leveling up, I noticed that there is also blue (rare) and purple (heroic) gear and the max gear level is 108. If your hero has not prestige to a reputation 1 or higher, you will never see this colored gear no matter how much steel you spend to scavenge. So with that said, I would actually wait to open boxes or spend steel until you've at least prestige a hero once and obtained some reputation. 4.) Contrary to Other Guides, Don't Stick to One Hero — I've seen A LOT of talk about For Honor online and nearly every guide or tip video says to stick to one hero and master them before moving on. I kind of understand that and actually agree to an extent, but it is not what I did when I first started. Experimenting with every single hero made the game less repetitive and more fun. This also turned me into a more well-rounded player, but the trade-off became I was a sort of "jack of all trades, master of none." Other guides discuss the nuance in the combat system and how it is really important to master one hero first; this is true, however, it is also true that it is just as important to know your opponent's hero as it is to know your own. For Honor is a game that is won with defense first and offense second, so it is actually better to know the movesets of every hero in order to know how to counter them. The other trade-off is your road to a higher reputation and better gear will be longer because your leveling will be spread out among more heroes, but it will be worth it in the long run. Playing the game this way has made me a far better competitive player. Think of it this way: if you are dueling somebody and their Peacekeeper is obviously better than your Orochi — you've already lost two and there's no way you can win this match-up — that doesn't mean they're better than you all-around because you are equally as strong with Lawbringer or Berserker. If you are well-versed in three, four, or even all the heroes than you can pull out a different hero to create a more favorable match-up. If you are really good with one hero, but only one hero, you are screwed when you come up against a bad match-up that you cannot overcome. So, be well-rounded!
5.) Find the Best Mode for You — Okay, so this might seem super obvious. You are, of course, going to find the mode that you enjoy the most in any game, but it is even more important in For Honor. The core gameplay and combat system changes very little between modes, but the online worlds of Duel and Dominion are completely different. I loved For Honor the instant I started up the beta and began playing. The combat system was great and I was having a ton of fun. Then I started to get really annoyed at outnumbered fights. It is very, very hard to win a 3v1 or 2v1 fight in this game and that is what Dominion or Elimination usually turns into. For me, it was even less fun when I was on the favorable end of that beat down. There's nothing worse than trying to come back from a losing duel to reclaim your honor then one of your teammates comes barreling into the frame, picks up your opponent, and cheeses them right off a cliff. If that is fun for you, then, by all means, have fun with it — that's what video games are for, after all. But if you prefer something a bit more competitive, then you should play Duel. It took me a while to realize that the competitive playing field in Duel/Brawl is way different than Dominion and, for the most part, there is a lot more "honor" in those modes. Most players who participate in Brawls will watch their teammate fight before jumping in for a 2v1. It is already challenging for somebody to kill one person then have to fight another with half of their health remaining; it's impossible for them to fight two people at the same time with half their health. So, before the salt levels rise too high, let me end this part by suggesting you try every game mode and then just stick to the one that you feel is right for you.
But let's say you don't want to fight each other because you and your buddy are all about harmony. Well, then you can hop into a Brawl on the same team and fight another pair of heroes. This is a lot of fun too. Unfortunately, I don't have a ton of IRL friends who play video games (and the ones I do play on PC or Xbox) so I didn't have that one go-to friend to play For Honor with. The good news is: the community is not completely toxic and I was able to meet lots of great Brawl teammates and Duel practice partners. What's even better than that? I've accumulated roughly twelve pounds of pure salt from my For Honor enemies — it's delicious! It's really fun to get into a back-and-forth Duel with someone, each of us changing our heroes between fights to create the best match-up, trash talking via PSN messages while the game loads. I've added just as many "enemies" to my friends' list as I have "friends," because these people are really great competition and I enjoy facing off against them.
There are certain things that simply "won't click" when you're playing a real match in For Honor, but they will when you're "in the lab" so to speak. One key thing it took me forever to learn is that this is one of the few fighting games where combos are performed very, very slowly. Other fighting games have you inputting strings at lightning speed and this one has you hitting the buttons after the previous attacks from is finished. Similarly, I had (still do) trouble with countering guardbreaks for the longest time – the trick is that you have to press the GB button as soon as your opponent makes contact with you, NOT when you see the GB icon. You can practice countering the guardbreak by going into the aforementioned advanced tutorial, but it's relatively easy to counter when you know it's coming. It's much better to practice these things against an opponent that fights back… but wait until you fully understand the hero and their mechanics before fighting a human opponent.

It's much better to practice these things against an opponent that fights back… but wait until you fully understand the hero and their mechanics before fighting a human opponent. 9.) The Campaign is a Fun Way to Learn Every Hero — so I already said that the best way to practice is to do so against bots in the "How to Play" mode, but I want to add that the campaign is great for this too. The campaign offers a fun way to learn every hero in the game while also consuming a decent (albeit trope-heavy cliché-fest) narrative. Many people have called the campaign an "extended tutorial" and, while I understand that criticism, I think it's more than that. Also, that's not necessarily a bad thing. To recap: the campaign is pretty fun in its own right, unlocks rewards to be used in multiplayer, and serves as a good way to practice every hero. Playing through the campaign makes you a more versatile fighter in For Honor. But I'm not just recommended the campaign in this section as a way to get better, I'm recommending you play the campaign on "realistic" difficulty. Realistic is the hardest difficulty, but the real reason you should play on this mode is because it removes every aspect of the HUD. What does that mean? You have to rely on animations to know where to block/parry. Normally, you can see what stance someone is in based on the white directional arrows that appear in front of them. Realistic mode gets rid of that. You should know that (to my knowledge, at least) there is no such thing as "realistic" in multiplayer; however, playing through the campaign on this difficult will undoubtedly make you better at defense. This has worked wonders for me.
10.) Watch Good People Play — this is something the younger generation knows all too well. People have my generation are partial to saying/thinking "I don't understand why these kids would rather watch other people play a game than play it themselves." For the most part, I think this is true, but if you are doing so to get better it makes sense to me. YouTube wasn't around when I first started playing Sonic the Hedgehog so watching others who were good at the game was kind of foreign and new to me. I first started doing this when I became obsessed with The Last of Us multiplayer. There's a small, dedicated community of YouTubers (at least there were) who only play and cover TLOU Factions. I watched Sancho West and Nick-Eh-30 to get better at that game. That was the first time I learned how beneficial YouTube could be for improving your skills in any video game. For Honor is no different. I highly recommend you watch some high-level play on YouTube. The strategy guides and tips videos are great, but simply watching two dominant players square off can help even more. There are certain things you won't pick up unless you are playing against really good people, and you won't play against really good people if you don't get better – it's a catch-22 that way. Enter YouTube. Go watch some great For Honor players duke it out and you will see how they utilize feints and employ mix-ups. You will see how the heroes are tiered and what heroes make for good match-ups. I personally recommend Mege and Tru3Ta1ent as I think they are the two best For Honor players on YouTube. Watch Mege's warden videos for great tips on mastering the knight vanguard and Tru3Ta1ent has videos on every hero in the game. Good luck!

We had a brief stint in owning and milking goats during the summer of 2015, when I was pregnant with lynniebaby #3. We wanted to be able to provide our family with all the deliciously healthy milk we would ever need. After much deliberation, we decided on Nubians, mostly because of their size and milk production/ quality. My husband was raised on goats milk as a child. His babysitter was an Amish lady who nurtured all of her many children in much the same way as we did, with raw goat milk. So we knew that this was the route we wanted to go. Unfortunately, between both mom and dad working full time and raising three kiddos, we just ran out of time to spend with the goats. So we had to send them to another home, where they could have the love and attention they needed to thrive.
Now, 2 years later, we are finally at the point in our lives where we can properly raise milk goats in an environment where they can have all the love and care they could ever possibly need. And all of us are very excited to make this dream of ours a reality. We will be starting our new goat adventure with Nigerian Dwarf goats. This is the very beginning stages of the development of our new goat farm. While we have very humble beginnings, we hope to advance out and be able to obtain a larger barn and longer fencing a few years down the road. What we have now will do just well. I know the goats will be happy and safe in our current barn and pasture, so I do not hesitate to bring them home once we find the right fit for our family.
We know the type of work we will be getting into and are looking forward to every bit of it. Faith. Love. and Goats.
Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as if for the lord, not for man.

The Prince and the Priestess
A Novel of Ancient Sumeria, Book 2
Ammon-shur thought that saving the girl and escaping deadly peril in Uruk meant that he would live a safe and happy life in his new home in Ur. With his business prospering, a new daughter just born and everything looking up he is deliriously happy, but he did not reckon with the spread of a deadly new religion that accompanied a massive expansion of the slave trade. Life and liberty become precious commodities as people across Sumeria and beyond are targeted by roving bands of slavers.
The Prince and the Prophet
For Ammon-Shur the struggle to end the slave trade in Sumeria is not going as planned. He has barely survived several attempts on his life and the few people he has been able to save are less than a drop in the bucket compared to the many thousands who are bought and sold across Sumeria every week. When he decides to try a new approach to get people to care about slavery he finds himself in unfamiliar territory as a lifetime of mostly ignoring the gods is suddenly turned on its head by a prophet of the Lord of Light.
The Prince and the Kings: A Novel of Ancient Sumeria
The empire of Akkad is coming apart at the seams and Ammon-shur and his family find themselves in the middle of all of the social and political turmoil. With the nomadic Gutian Confederation to the North sensing an opportunity to snatch up loot and slaves from the poorly defended cities on the periphery of the empire, an aggressively expansionist Elamite empire looking to settle old scores once and for all and restive Sumerian city-states inside the empire hoping to throw off Akkadian domination for good, it seems that there is no safe haven to be found anywhere. Even the unimportant backwaters of Canaan where Ammon's daughter and son-in-law make their home has been drawn into the growing conflagration and Ammon soon finds himself thrust into battle after battle against his will as he fights to hold his family together in the face of the ever stronger winds of war which seem poised to tear it apart.
The King of Eridu
Ammon-shur and his Gutian allies are determined to rid the land of Canaan of the invading Mesopotamian armies once and for all, but Ammon's aspirations don't end there. He senses an opportunity to eliminate the threat from the shadowy conspiracy that has been dogging his steps for decades once and for all. With his usual flair for combining the divine with the mundane, Ammon takes advantage of his growing reputation to gather a mighty host to retake the cities of Sumeria from the followers of the dark god of chaos, but success brings its own set of challenges.
The Prince and the Sacrifice
Ammon-shur is missing, and in his absence, the situation across Sumeria, Canaan, and Akkad has gone from bad to worse. Civil war, famine and banditry have become so widespread that even the sleepy backwaters of Canaan has been affected. When Ammon returns home after years spent as a slave, he wants nothing more than to be left alone and spend his days with his family in peace.

It is especially difficult to find the lender who offers the best home mortgages rates. There are so many brokers and financial institutions that now offer home mortgages that it can become overwhelming to try and find the one that is right for you or to know even where to begin. When searching for mortgages, it is always good to use the provided calculators that most companies offer.
When shopping for a home mortgage, make sure you know what to expect, particularly if you are a first-time home buyer. Try to obtain information from each lender or broker about how much can you afford, how much of a down payment you will need, and what the various fees and costs of the loan are. Ask about the loan amount, the loan term, the repayment amount and type of loan. Also find out whether the rate that you are quoted is fixed or variable and keep in mind that interest rates for variable loans can go up and down, which will also make the monthly payment go up and down. This too is an important factor to keep in mind while searching for a home mortgage.
But, what about the deposit? Some lenders require that you provide twenty percent of the home's purchase price as the deposit. However, many lenders now offer loans that require less than twenty percent, some are as low as five percent. If a twenty percent down payment is not made, then your lender will probably require you to take out private mortgage insurance. This insurance will protect the lender in case the repayments are not paid on the mortgage at some future date.

Biography of André Nocquet Part 2: O Sensei's mysterious keikogi
I have known the name André Nocquet for almost as long as I have known about aikido. Indeed, the picture of him standing in front of an old Japanese man was the first thing I saw when I entered the dojo of Michel Desroches, my first teacher. As it happened, I started my practice of aikido in André Nocquet's federation and consequently, I was told many fantastic stories about his life and pioneering journey to Japan to study with the founder. As a young boy, it made a strong impression on me and I often dreamed about following in his footsteps and study in Japan with the masters. As I started my work as an aikido historian, I took the opportunity during my various interviews and projects to gather as much information as I could about Nocquet. I published a number of elements in my articles, and eventually was able to write a biography, which was published in Japanese in a recent issue of Hiden.
André Nocquet and O Sensei in Iwama. This is the picture that was in my first teacher's office.
My efforts were also noticed by a number of people, including some of the closest students of Nocquet, Messrs Frank De Craene and Claude Duchesne. They asked to meet with me and to my surprise, chose me to become their successor as custodian of Nocquet's personal belongings, which contained countless items such as a diary, letters, scrolls, films, photographs and wooden weapons. I will always remember that moment when Frank placed the keikogi jacket on my lap and said: "As you are all here to witness today, I am handing over this jacket to Guillaume Erard so that he becomes its guardian." My blood froze as I immediately recognized the keikogi jacket that I had seen many years ago, and which according to him had been offered to Nocquet by Ueshiba Morihei in person.
The keikogi that André Nocquet brought back from Japan.
Indeed, during his seminars, Nocquet Sensei used to say that when O Sensei gave him the keikogi, he told him the following:
Take this keikogi, I have worn it and sweated in it. Now it is your turn to wear it so that our sweats mix during your practice as you work towards developing aikido in Europe.
The truth is actually that no one knows exactly what the story of this garment was, so once I became its caretaker, I decided that it was time for it to return to Japan. I wanted to show it to knowledgeable people, including some of the last living students of O Sensei, in order to find out if they knew anything about it.

Though given its age, the vest is in remarkably good condition, it is clear that it has been worn a lot. It has in fact been patched a number of times at different periods, as indicated by the difference in brightness in some of the threads.
One of the numerous areas where the keikogi has been patched
I first wondered whether the jacket had been used regularly by O Sensei and mended before he gave it to Nocquet, or whether it was Nocquet himself who had used it the most. At first glance, it's obvious that some of the patches seem to be as worn as the keikogi itself, so it is likely that they were added many years ago, but an interesting detail lies however in the reinforcement made on the collar.
Collar of the keikogi
The reinforcement on the edge of the collar sits above the embroidery, so it must necessarily have been added after fabrications. Given the similarity of color though, I assumed that this had been made in Japan, but if we compare it with the image of Nocquet wearing the jacket, we can see that the reinforcement is not yet present at that time. This addition can therefore only have been made after the return of Nocquet to France.
On the left hand side is the keikogi's collar as it is today, with the patch. On the right hand side is a closeup of the picture of Nocquet wearing the keikogi after he returned to France. The patch must therefore have been made afterwards.
The weaving
The first person I showed the vest to was Jordy Delage, who is the founder of Seido Co. Ltd. and one of the world's foremost experts in Japanese budo equipment. He gave me some very interesting information about the structure of the keikogi and how it was made. According to him, the keikogi itself is made in the same way as a judo keikogi, that is to say that the top is composed of a thick fabric with a sashiko grain of rice pattern and the lower half is fitted with a hishisashi diamond motif. Interestingly, the two types of weaving are done on the same piece of fabric, suggesting that they were hand woven from a single piece of cotton cloth.
The sashiko and hishisashi weaving are made in the same piece of cloth.
Still on the weaving, I noticed an interesting detail at level of the sleeves, which seem to have been lengthened, as suggested by the presence of a seam line at the wrist. I assumed that perhaps, the keikogi had been made to fit O Sensei, and then enlarged for Nocquet. However, upon further examination, this seam appears to have been made during manufacture and it may have been due to the fact that the cotton swaths used were not wide enough to allow one-piece weaving. This process also still exists since if you order an aizome cotton hakama and ask for longer straps, it is quite possible that you will find a seam at a point of the length.

Jordy added that the keikogi was obviously handmade, probably by someone with great sewing skills. Given the quality of the weaving and embroidery, he felt that it must have been a fairly expensive item. He said, however, that the cut was a bit unusual and that the person who made it may not have been very experienced in weaving a budo keikogi. For instance, the sides of the jacket do not close very well, especially compared to the fairly wide shoulder width.
Jordy Delage and I discussing about the structure of the keikogi.
Iwata Shokai was the first company to start making keikogi for aikido around 1956. However, in comparison to a keikogi made by them for O Sensei, which is exhibited in a museum in Hokkaido, it seems clear that the one in my possession was made in a very different way, so I suspect that Jordy could be right and that the keikogi could have been made by someone else. The keikogi I obtained did not bear any label or trademark, so the identification of the maker is impossible.
The embroidery
The embroidery is made up of seven very high quality characters, with very tight weaving, which descend along the left collar of the jacket. Jordy pointed out that the characters sit behind the seam lines, indicating that they were added during the manufacturing process rather than sewn afterwards.
The embroidery is placed under the lines of stitching
About the embroidery, it says: "Doshu Ueshiba Morihei" (道主植芝守平), followed by a last kanji that was unknown to me. I first assumed that this last kanji could be some archaic honorific title added by the person who had made the jacket in order to offer it to O Sensei. However, I did not find any similar kanji in any of my books. I was steered in the right direction by my friend and fellow budo researcher, Baptiste Tavernier, who suggested it might be O Sensei's kao. A kao (花押) is a stylized signature that can be used instead of the seal (判子, hanko) usually used in Japan. So I delved into the various calligraphy of O Sensei that I knew of and I quickly found the same character on several of his writings!
The last character on the keikogi's embroidery (left) and O Sensei's calligraphy bearing his kao (right).
This discovery had serious repercussions on my previous assumptions since it made it virtually impossible that the keikogi would have been a gift made for O Sensei. In fact, it meant the opposite. O Sensei either made this keikogi himself, which is unlikely, or he got it made by someone and had his seal affixed to it. More importantly, under those circumstances, he would never have worn routinely a garment that had his signature on it. In fact, I have never seen any picture of O Sensei showing him wearing an embroidered keikogi. I therefore started to doubt Nocquet's story.
Getting the opinion of the masters
After the excitement, I realized that I had not advanced very far in my research, many questions were left unanswered and some more had come up. I decided to inquire with Tada Hiroshi Shihan with whom I had the chance to discuss about the history of aikido several times, and in particular about André Nocquet.
André Nocquet in front of the Hombu Dojo with Tada Hiroshi and Yamaguchi Seigo (c. 1957)
Although Tada Shihan does not remember ever having seen the jacket, or any other similar to it, he let me know that from the moment O Sensei had started to learn calligraphy from Abe Seiseki Sensei, he was often asked to sign personal items such as fans and wooden swords. According to him, this jacket could have been such an object. Tada Shihan also seemed to suggest that it was entirely possible that Nocquet had this jacket made for himself and requested that the name of O Sensei be embroidered on it. This is certainly possible but personally, I think that the fact that the embroidery sits behind the stitching lines, which Tada Sensei probably did not see since I only had photos to show him, makes that unlikely.

I decided to ask the question of another contemporary of the time and I went to Kodaira to show the keikogi to Kobayashi Yasuo Sensei, whom I had also interviewed before. He had never seen this particular keikogi either, but he immediately noticed that it looked handmade. He said it was fairly common at the time because there weren't any big manufacturers yet. Mihaly Dobroka, who had arranged the meeting, reminded us that there was a tradition where the person offering a garment used to wear the garment once to make the gift more personal. Kobayashi Sensei replied that he did remember that such a custom existed and that it could well have been the case for this particular garment. He said that given the jacket's relatively large size, it was unlikely to have been made for O Sensei, who was only about five feet tall.

What does such an item represent?
Thanks to the help of all of the above-mentioned people who were kind enough to help me, we now have a clearer idea of the circumstances under which André Nocquet could have received this priceless object. It is likely that O Sensei had the keikogi made by hand and embroidered his signature on it during the manufacturing process. He probably wore it once, symbolically, before offering it to Nocquet before he left for France. According to the many people who saw it in France and the numerous patches made, Nocquet seems to have used this keikogi on numerous occasions.
In my opinion, this keikogi represents the friendship between France and Japan (remember that Nocquet was commissioned as part of the recent Franco Japanese Cultural Agreement signed in 1953) and the keen interest of the French people regarding Japanese budo. I hope that in the future, the link between our two nations through the practice of aikido, which was initiated by O Sensei and his son Kisshomaru, and continued by a number of pioneers in Japan and abroad, will remain strong and continue to grow. In future articles, I will talk about the contents of André Nocquet's personal journal.
I would like to sincerely thank Tada Hiroshi Shihan, Kobayashi Yasuo Shihan, Jordy Delage, Hara Jouji, Baptiste Tavernier, and Mihaly Dobroka for their help with the study of this keikogi, and Claude Duchesnes and Frank Decraen for entrusting me with the care taking of those invaluable artifacts.

NEW YORK — Just two months after recovering the last of its losses from the financial crisis, the Dow Jones industrial average charged higher Tuesday, closing above 15,000 for the first time.
It was another milestone in the market's epic ascent of 2013. Good economic reports, strong corporate earnings and fresh support from central banks have eased investors' concerns about another economic slowdown. Many had been on the lookout for signs that a spring swoon would derail the rally, as happened in each of the past three years.

"Working with Dr. Kayla has been my first experience with the Gonstead method of chiropractic care. I was impressed with her knowledge of the technique and she did a fantastic job of talking me through the procedures. The process took more time than I was accustomed to, but the benefit was that I really understood what was going on and how she was correcting the problems. Other chiropractors I have seen just spend a minute asking what hurts and then violently crack a few joints and send me on my way. Dr. Kayla's technique pinpoints the exact problems in your spine and then she gently maneuvers your joints into the correct alignment. I have been very happy with the results after my first two visits. My back hasn't been stiff after working at a desk like it normally is. Also, she cleared up the pain in my knee and foot (caused by running) with a few adjustments and I felt relief within a day. You will be in good hands with Dr. Kayla."
"I woke up a couple of weeks ago with horrible back pain. Thankfully, I work just a few doors down from Kay Family Chiropractic. Dr. Kayla was able to take x-rays and give me an initial exam right away then stayed late at the end of her day for my first adjustment. She was very thorough and educated me about how improving my spinal health will improve my overall health as well. Of course, it's always nice to go in and be welcomed by her dog, Murphy!"

The House of Sand (2005)
"I don't know what would have happened to us here without you. But I need you to help us one last time."
- �urea (Fernanda Torres)
Review By: Chuck Aliaga
Stars: Fernanda Montenegro, Fernanda Torres
Other Stars: Seu Jorge, Ruy Guerra
Director: Andrucha Waddington
MPAA Rating: R for (some graphic sexuality)
A+ A+ A+ A B-
It is the year 1910, and Jos� Vasco de S� (Ruy Guerra) has traveled with his pregnant wife, �urea (played initially by Fernanda Torres) and her mother, Maria (played initially by Fernanda Montenegro) to an area of Maranh�o, Brazil that he has a land deed for. After Jos�'s accidental death, the two ladies are left to fend for themselves, and seek the help of Massu (initially played by Seu Jorge), a widower among a group of ex-slave fishermen. As the years pass, their make-shift house is engulfed by the surrounding sand, leaving �urea longing to return to civilization with her daughter, Maria.
The House of Sand is one of the best films of 2006. Bringing to mind the unarguably original works of Terrence Malick (Days of Heaven), this is a film that is experienced rather than simply watched. Director Andrucha Waddington (Torres' real-life husband) crafts a masterful tale, spanning three generations of a family literally stuck in the sand. From 1910 to 1969, the two matriarchs come to realize their place, and come to call their sandy prison home, making decent lives for themselves along the way. For the first half, we come to know the dynamics of this family and get a feel for their predicament, but the most compelling aspect is the second hour, as characters we initially saw as much younger return to bring everything full-circle. Waddington has strayed from his previous tendency for straight-narrative stories with this irresistible, time-jumping drama.
Whether you find the drama compelling or not, there's no denying just how beautiful The House of Sand is. Full of scenic white sandy desert vistas, you'll marvel at the amazing shots captured. Still, although the sand deserves its own place in the credits, this is primarily an acting showcase. The two Fernandas give Oscar-worthy performances, but it's Montenegro (previously nominated for Central Station) that most deserves another nod from the Academy. Having two actors play multiple characters has been done before, but the sheer emotion that is so naturally transferred by this pair of actresses is truly genuine and moving. The younger Torres (Montenegro's real-life daughter) gives a brave series of performances, inhabiting the vastly different characters with a charisma that is rarely seen. She also takes part in an incredibly erotic scene with the Massu character (Seu Jorge from The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou) that sets the stage for her later embodiment of the Maria character, and would have felt out of place and even exploitative in a lesser film.
The final scene takes place in 1969 and finds an older Maria (Montenegro) traveling back to the titular house, where she finds her mother, �urea (also Montenegro) living out her years. This perfect denouement gives us a satisfying sense of closure, while avoiding being a cheap excuse to tug at the audience's heartstrings. I haven't seen a director pick the perfect time to fade to black in years, but Waddington does just that in The House of Sand, wrapping up what is a flawless, exhilarating cinematic experience from start to finish.
Aspect Ratio 2.35:1 - Widescreen
Anamorphic yes
Image Transfer Review: You'll have a hard time finding a better-looking foreign film in 2006, and this 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer is nearly flawless. Each and every hue practically bursts off the screen, with the pearl white sand dominating most of the scenes. Shadow and black levels hold up well also, especially during the nighttime sequences.
Image Transfer Grade: A+
5.1 Portuguese no
Audio Transfer Review: The Dolby Digital 5.1 mix features especially liberal use of the surrounds, with great channel separation. Much of the film is dialogue-driven, and there aren't any problems in that department. Still, there's enough blowing sand and gusting wind to make this a far more dynamic track than expected.
Audio Transfer Grade: A
Subtitles/Captions in English, French, Portuguese with remote access
9 Other Trailer(s) featuring Volver, American Hardcore, Quincea�era, L'Enfant, Don't Come Knocking, Central Station, Dreamland, The Pursuit of Happyness, The Holiday
Layers: dual
Extras Review: Along with a collection of previews, we get the wonderful 52-minute documentary Making of The House of Sand. This comprehensive piece goes over the making of the film from conception to casting and throughout the shoot, giving us a great feel for how much work and love went into this amazing project.
Extras Grade: B-
A wonderful surprise from Brazil, The House of Sand is a tale of three strong female characters played by two actors over a 59-year period. The actors pull this trick off, and then some, delivering two of the best performances of the year. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment's DVD features excellent audio and video presentations, and goes above and beyond with a fine documentary on the making of the film.

This Town Sleeps (Paperback)
By Dennis E. Staples
"This Town Sleeps, set on an Ojibwe reservation in northern Minnesota, is not an elegiac or idyllic work but rather a direct, unblinking, poetic novel that draws the reader inexorably into the gray areas of the hearts of those in this story. A queer coming-of-age story bound up in a town mystery, this tale of Marion Lafournier, a young gay Ojibwe man, is a compelling debut. Dennis E. Staples is an author whose voice and storytelling will be appreciated in so many ways for years to come."
— Christine Havens, BookPeople, Austin, TX
Part mystery, part ghost story, a long unsolved murder becomes the singular fixation of an Indigenous American man living in far northern Minnesota as he grapples with his identity and that of his lover, a heavily closeted white man.
On an Ojibwe reservation called Languille Lake, within the small town of Geshig at the hub of the rez, two men enter into a secret romance. Marion Lafournier, a midtwenties gay Ojibwe man, begins a relationship with his former classmate Shannon, a white man who isn't ready to acknowledge his identity. While Marion is far more open about his sexuality, neither is immune to the realities of the lives of gay men in small towns and closed societies.
Then one night, while roaming the dark streets of Geshig, Marion unknowingly brings to life the spirit of a dog from beneath the elementary school playground. The mysterious revenant leads him to the grave of Kayden Kelliher, an Ojibwe basketball star who was murdered at the age of seventeen and whose presence still lingers in the memories of the townsfolk. While investigating the fallen hero's death, Marion discovers family connections and an old Ojibwe legend that may be the secret to unraveling the mystery he has found himself in.
Set on a reservation in far northern Minnesota, This Town Sleeps explores the many ways history, culture, landscape, and lineage shape our lives, our understanding of the world we inhabit, and the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of it all.
Dennis E. Staples is an Ojibwe writer from Bemidji, Minnesota. He graduated from the Institute of American Indian Arts with an MFA in fiction. He is a graduate of the 2018 Clarion West Writers Workshop and a recipient of the Octavia E. Butler Memorial Scholarship. His work has appeared in Asimov's Science Fiction and Nightmare magazine. He is a member of the Red Lake Nation.
"Elegant and gritty, angry and funny. Staples's work is emotional without being sentimental. Dennis unmakes something in us, then remakes it, a quilt of characters that embody this town, this place, which sleeps but doesn't dream, or it is all a dream we want to wake up from with its characters." —Tommy Orange, author of There, There
"In this novel we travel to familiar literary terrain: a community-in this case, an Indigenous reservation in northern Minnesota-that is still suffering from the ravages of colonialism and its aftermath. Yet Staples approaches this grand injustice with a fresh intimacy, informing us of the ways it continues to singe people's lives, and how the search for truth-in one's identity, hopes, love-defines them." —The New York Times Book Review
"A suspenseful ride . . . Through a meticulous weaving of backstories and present-day scenes, Marion and other characters who grew up in Geshig must come to terms with what it means to both resist and appreciate the place that roots them." —Shalini Rana, The Arkansas International
"With gentle wit, frank sensuality, and a keen eye for small town and reservation life, Dennis E. Staples debuts a tender, suspenseful, irresistible first novel!" —Louise Erdrich

Reina eyes 2011-12 improvement
Steve Hunter @Shunter77
Pepe Reina claims he has a point to prove next season - and that many of his teammates feel the same way.
In an interview with LFC Weekly, the Spanish stopper admits he has not been on top form this term.
"I know I could play a lot better," said the 28-year-old, who has appeared 305 times for Liverpool since arriving from Villarreal in 2005.
"Throughout the whole year my levels must improve. I am looking forward to the next one to prove myself again. I think, as a squad, we all feel the same - as individuals and as a group.
"Nobody is the perfect player - you are always learning. I have played 450 games, which is a lot for someone my age. I am happy but I would like to play another 450 games at the highest level."
A 5-0 thumping of Birmingham City of Saturday left Liverpool three points shy of a Europa League spot - though Tottenham have a game in hand.
Reina knows the Reds have momentum after scoring in 16 successive league games since the turn of the year.
He believes securing continental football for 2011-12 would have many benefits.
"Sometimes you hear people talk about the Europa League," he said. "They say there is no point being in it, but I think the competition has helped our youngsters; Martin Kelly, Jay Spearing, Danny Wilson.
"Maybe they wouldn't be ready to play in the Premier League now if they hadn't experienced the minutes in Europe.
"Probably one of the biggest positives of this season is seeing young players like these. Players with big futures get a chance and prove themselves.
"That is why until the end of the season we will fight."
At 28, Reina is still considered a youngster in the goalkeeping fraternity, but that's not to say he hasn't given some thought to life after football.
"I will always be involved in the game - coaching, media, whatever," he said. "I know there have been few goalkeepers to become top managers, which is strange because they spend so much time trying to watch the game, concentrating.
"Maybe it's because we dive too much during our playing careers - suffer knocks. Afterwards we want to play golf and relax a little. But I am not like that. I like golf, but I like football more."

Q: How to optimize the performance for Azure Service Bus REST Service We have used an Azure Service Bus relay REST Service to expose our internal WCF webservice to external customers.
Functionally all good, but we have noticed that it's significantly slower than connecting directly to WCF end point. I would have thought that Azure Service Bus just relays the internal endpoint without introducing any performance bottleneck.
Could someone please share what are the things to consider (in terms of performance) for Azure Service Bus? Any hints on how we can optimize the performance will be great.
The Service Relay REST Service is 16seconds slower than connecting directly to WCF Service. I noticed the main bottle neck is between Service Bus and Internal WCF call.

A: 1) If your clients are using ChannelFactory, then cache the channels.
2) Is your endpoint on a data center near you and your customers? If not, I would highly suggest you change that.
3) According to the docs, if you are using NetTcpRelayBinding you can also set the TcpConnectionMode to Hybrid, which will establish "direct connections between two parties that sit behind opposing Firewalls and NAT devices"
