We lost power for only about 6 hours on the 22nd so many lost power for so much longer days and days in fact. I felt terrible about all those dealing with the -22 temps. I suppose being in a newer area with few large trees spared us from long outages. The damage to trees in our city and surrounding cities was and is devastating to see. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The ice did create some incredible sights.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlyopVe8ETK8sMXrgSryb-pqFqD7-qTRe-Lf38V52vw-AFWCQ1xfg6V4tBqwCiliAlTvaYXn6XrarKrM7S94-6T2R-1xX15OUIE3KMt5rYIwGPKbPsJJwrqTvw6LanUh8iDte_aCr1ygOt/s1600/1520810_10152085530350295_711104652_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlyopVe8ETK8sMXrgSryb-pqFqD7-qTRe-Lf38V52vw-AFWCQ1xfg6V4tBqwCiliAlTvaYXn6XrarKrM7S94-6T2R-1xX15OUIE3KMt5rYIwGPKbPsJJwrqTvw6LanUh8iDte_aCr1ygOt/s640/1520810_10152085530350295_711104652_n.jpg" width="480" /></a></div> Waking up to our neighbours tree bending over was heart breaking, it is a pyramidal oak about 22 ft tall and it has really taken a beating.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg45G-nRJSX3g7ZaJozQwsrGbkTQx2ACmzsy0abYT9iSAaGnHi6oG_zLQIOoqNYMvFiHogDsWyL7URQ3sqZPXgWpUS_iz0Gj6Nz-MiNyN5HLM0-5Qf7buEdGcnyvloptj1JZ0i1-EMCgChU/s1600/1185394_10152088157650295_1550757945_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg45G-nRJSX3g7ZaJozQwsrGbkTQx2ACmzsy0abYT9iSAaGnHi6oG_zLQIOoqNYMvFiHogDsWyL7URQ3sqZPXgWpUS_iz0Gj6Nz-MiNyN5HLM0-5Qf7buEdGcnyvloptj1JZ0i1-EMCgChU/s400/1185394_10152088157650295_1550757945_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> My little birch was bent over like a wheeping willow thankfully it is looking much better now and sustained only a little damage.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnv3EKb_jDnNJnIzIeLJ-gsOi8LlttExpuESep4WfvAcd6trOkoAz2lqkkcNMzzSZ4TOGo25Xcidzx7CpMswqoDWCnQqetie8S3rPP2iaYFaeKGHVrBM4phsYfMB6UwrkE0NuJB6VpAtK7/s1600/1479450_10152088157700295_457751573_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnv3EKb_jDnNJnIzIeLJ-gsOi8LlttExpuESep4WfvAcd6trOkoAz2lqkkcNMzzSZ4TOGo25Xcidzx7CpMswqoDWCnQqetie8S3rPP2iaYFaeKGHVrBM4phsYfMB6UwrkE0NuJB6VpAtK7/s400/1479450_10152088157700295_457751573_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> So much thick ice for all the poor trees.

He was more than ready to go and we have all been ready in theory but I don't think any of us thought it was going to happen any time soon , the news truly was shocking, I suppose it always is.<br /><br />Sorry to end on sad news but this was my Christmas this year.

New MMORPG League of Angels Slated for January Release

Global online games publisher Reality Squared Games (R2Games) recently publicized the upcoming release of their next game: <b>League of Angels</b>, projected for January 10th.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="252" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLBvI5D9nBbnmQeJoW4qw5lO5WqEHXMRhEaZyucJVh0cIU4Z5gKHJjdbhZAghoPeCcHIg7WNsA02j2NqJob8j9U5jaQVb05baFznx3QwsmVLsbnuFRwXL37xowtsSJhD49_KtJcMVxJcs/s400/img3.jpg" width="400" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/1fJHPWD0cws" style="text-align: start;" width="560"></iframe></div><br />Developed by UZUU, League of Angels is a hybrid turn-based fantasy MMORPG/strategy game. Combining aspects of multiplayer games with a few new twists, League of Angels brings a unique flair to browser gaming - in addition to embarking on engaging quests, dominating in massive PvP and outwitting fierce events, players can also seek out and train angels and collect rewards from minigame challenges. With a selection of 2 unique classes, players set off on a journey to re-awaken the Angels to bring peace back to a broken world.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="385" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAfvTvpfm0Y9uDv-QagNVyfYNjaHU6ClnlSZqOj8pYCdk_4yxSP15CRdWKcvbzvDyHRTp-wlnjdkZvXqykEU7px0tOdVlR27Lg70U5yZMwwRZt44atQD5Ihqd2yEInj6dNIYyLno5gcRg/s640/1_League-of-Angels-Screenshot-1.jpg" width="640" /></div><br />The story takes place in a fallen world, where Angels that once brought wisdom and guidance have long ago been cast down, stripped of their powers and trapped into a dreamless slumber. Refusing to give in to despair, great heroes known as the Brave arose to fight back and uncover the secret to re-awakening the Angels. Recruit and train allies, craft powerful equipment, and seek out Angels to fight side by side to save the world.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiS3lYBafmsUMnGSGRR1puYm0SsZ-0N7sWMFKjB9-RnUZUqRBxq7KKmufWtVdhpC8iTCqhW61lNtDjcYVRyE3LlQA_1RUMGlyW071tNNTMuzy8FryEsQEiTZXCsORPybXzgRlIB4ik7oM/s640/2_League-of-Angels-Screenshot-2.jpg" width="640" /></div><br />The newly launched game will also hold special events for players to win various rewards.
