RIALTO, CA (CNN/RNN) – The Rialto Police Department has released the audio from the frantic 911 call by Rodney King's fiancée, Cynthia Kelley.
Kelley made the call at 5:25 a.m. after finding King at the bottom of his pool.
Paramedics tried to resuscitate him, but could not. He was pronounced dead at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton, CA, about 6:11 a.m.
Excerpts from the 911 call:
Operator: Is he breathing?
Caller: He's at the bottom of the swimming pool and I've been doing stuff to try and wake him up.
Operator: How old is he?
Caller: He's Rodney King. The guy who got beat by police.
Operator: Ok, how old is he?
Caller: He's 47 years old. He's not moving, he's at the bottom of the swimming pool. I don't know, I was sleep."
Operator: Is he out now or still in the pool?
Caller: Yes. I was sleeping, and I heard something fall like a table and I went to find him and he was at the bottom of the swimming pool.
Kelley said she couldn't jump in the pool after him because she can't swim, and that she threw a shovel into the water to try waking him up.
King, 47, became a symbol of police brutality after Los Angeles Police tased him and struck him more than 50 times with their batons, resulting in 11 skull fractures and a busted eye socket. King had led the officers on a high-speed chase on March 4, 1991, and the beating was caught on video and shown around the world.
It was one of the first times citizen-captured video was used to implicate law enforcement misconduct.
After the officers involved were acquitted of charges in the case, riots erupted April 29, 1992 in Los Angeles, resulting in 54 deaths and millions of dollars in damage. More than 2,000 people were injured in the riots.
Kings famous words, "Can we all get along?" became the mantra for the need for improved race relations.
In a claim filed with the city, King said he sustained permanent brain damage, kidney damage and multiple broken bones, among other injuries.
King was an avid swimmer, doing it for his physical therapy to deal with the wounds he suffered in that well-documented beating but also sort of a mental therapy.
Rodney King had told reporters he did suffer from alcohol addiction but seemed to be doing very well when interviewed about a month and a half ago around the 20th anniversary of the L.A. Riots, and seemed to be reckoning with his demons.

I need some input on an old Huntington Custom board. It's pretty old but in excellent shape. I haven't used it since the mid-seventies.
It's a 10 footer and I have no idea what it's worth now. I don't even remember what I paid for it.
I've attached a recent photo that I've taken of it today after I cleaned 10 years of dust off. I just want to get an idea of what a fair price for it would be.

"Everyone had wonderful things to say about our son's graduation announcement. I'm having friends call this year to ask where I got them and I"m sending them here."
"This was just what I was looking for in a graduation announcement for a master's degree. I didn't want anything real showy and it was great that I could pick them up at Costco."
"Design layout was very user friendly. Customer service extremely helpful and professional. Answered all my questions and was able to customize card in order to display a former year. Emailing preview and requiring final edit or approval was very helpful, as we made changes in wording before it went to final print. Quality, thickness of stock were impressive! I highly recommend adding the extra cost ($.10 per envelope) and order the metallic gray envelopes for this design. Also, upgrade to "rounded corners" on photo, gives it a soft, inviting, classy look. Delivery was quick. Cards arrived prior to date posted!"
"The quality of the paper and printing exceeded my expectations. I received so many compliments on my son's graduation announcement. It looked very expensive, yet I felt it was a great value! I will definitely be a return customer."
"I was extremely pleased w/ the graduation announcement. I had to have assistance w/ my image & this was provided very quickly. One recipient told me that she loved the announcement/photo so much that she felt that a part of her was being disloyal to her own family. LOL."

Hopefully Flip and the Pistons put a big a$$ whoopin on the Timberwolves. Shows what a class guy Saunders is that he refuses to publicly knock the T'Wolves after the shabby way he was treated.
Go PISTONS!!!!!! and hopefully the next person to get canned is Kevin McHale. The T-Wolves really need to get someone to help KG out besides just Wally. Maybe can the Candyman along with McHale. . . .
Couldn't agree more. I don't even care for the T-wolves or any BBall for that matter, but the fact that Kevin McHale still has a job when he has been nothing short of a disaster, i.e. drafts, trades, f.a. signings, is a joke. It was stated in the paper last year that some season ticket holders would not renew if McHale was axed. Shows what a complete bunch of idiots follow BBall and the Wolves.

Damn what an awesome kit
Damn what an awesome kit
Xbox 360 Gamertag: KindofIceman
I'll start off by posting what I put into my "Rock Band story" on Rock Band World...
...I guess it may end up getting read by somebody now after all.I've really had so many great times with Rock Band... I've played with people that work at Harmonix, been in tournaments and put on public shows of Rock Band jackassery, had many Rock Band get-togethers with friends and family, duelled against and gone for FBFCs with some of the best RB players there is, met numerous friends (a lot of whom I still am in contact with occasionally) and even someone I wanted to have a relationship with. Rock Band is really a game like no other. I know I already said this for my favorite song, but there's just been so many amazing experiences I've had with this game that it'd simply be unfair to put one on a pedestal as the best one. Hell, even any time I play a song I really enjoy or have a personal connection with, it's just such a great thing to me. With Rock Band, I connect with the music, the words, the instrumentation, with another part of myself that can't otherwise be touched, with another world altogether that can't be touched. Every time I play is a whole new amazing experience. I know this is a bit of a tangent that really isn't a "story", but I don't know where else something like this could go. I doubt anyone will ever read this, but I really do have such an appreciation for this game, it blows my mind sometimes. To have a bond with a computerized "band" and pressing down colored buttons along to the tune of a song? What? Anyway, I guess my favorite Rock Band story would have to be the on-going story of all my experiences I've had because of it. I hope that I can keep being able to play it and continue adding to the experiences for as long as possible.
It's kinda crazy to me that Rock Band is celebrating its 5 year anniversary... It seems like just yesterday that I went out and bought Rock Band 1 and fell in love with it. I know that the RBW thing I just put in above this may seem like it sums up my thoughts well enough, but I'd like to also flesh out my experiences with Rock Band like I've seen some people have done because I just have so much to say about it.
I started playing instrument-based games with Guitar Hero 2 when I was 13. I actually remember the first time I saw an ad for it... "Woman" by Wolfmother was blasting on the TV while Axel Steel was shredding on his guitar and everything was going crazy. Needless to say, this caught my attention (I was also a bit obsessed with that song at the time, so that helped a bit), so I told my parents that I wanted it for my Christmas present since my birthday had just passed (it came out on November 7th, my birthday is November 1st). I remember I was so excited to play it that I made them let me open it on Christmas Eve so I could play it sooner. I was immediately obsessed with it and spent every moment possible playing it, trying to get better at it. Initially I was awful at it... I could barely play on Easy and lingered on it for a while before moving up to Medium. I remember how I flipped out when I first beat the Easy career mode, ran through the house about how awesome I was. My parents thought I was crazy. I eventually got to Expert, which was quite the accomplishment to me. Took me forever to beat all the songs on that, but I had no issue with spending days trying to get more stars on songs and passing the final tiers. It was just so much fun to me. During this time, I also found GH1 (It was a lot more difficult to find it than I thought it would be) and bought GH:80s on its release day (went to Gamestop every day for a week straight because no one knew when it came out).
I suppose I'll fast forward to Rock Band 1's release since it IS a RB celebration after all... I first heard about RB1 right around its release, loved how it sounded and wanted it immediately. I had to wait as I did with GH2 for a couple months until my birthday though (the wait killed me). I actually bought an Xbox 360 specifically for RB, part of the reason why I had to wait. I made my parents take me straight home so I could tear open the big box of awesomeness and proceeded to play it for at least five hours a day (on school days, 10 on weekends), I was hooked. I started playing online and buying DLC after that Christmas and loved it. I still talk to some of the friends I made playing RB1 online actually. I met so many cool people through Rock Band. I actually met my online RB drummer once while on vacation and did the Endless Setlist with him, it was a blast.
Rock Band 2 came out right as I started high school. I ran home right after school ended to buy it and proceeded to play that like crazy as well. I think I played it more hours than I spent in school for a while. Around that time, I started having a lot of problems with school and in life in general. I was racially attacked daily at school by teachers and security there, family members died, lots of stuff went on, it was a rough time. But Rock Band really got me through all the hard times. Any time I was sad or mad or just hated everyone and everything, I could boot it up and forget all the crap and just immerse myself in the game and be happy. I know for a long time, playing RB was my escape from the world where I could just have a good time and enjoy the music and the experience. I'm not sure what may have happened to me if it wasn't for Rock Band. I really feel like I may not have gotten through everything had I not had it. I had mentioned in my RBW text that I met someone I wanted a relationship with through RB, that happened in this time and RB helped me get through the sadness I had of that not working out as well. I don't think I will ever play a single game as much as I played RB1 and 2 (except eventually RB3).
I went to a midnight release of RB3 (I believe it was actually for a Call of Duty game or something, but they let me pick it up anyway), I was heavily awaiting it since the day it was announced. I actually immediately went to my GameStop the day it was announced and reserved the keyboard bundle there. I still have played RB3 like crazy and love it to death. I unfortunately can't play RB3 now as much as I played the first two since I now have a daughter (who I hope will play a future RB game with me one day) and have to try to earn money to live and stuff, but I still make sure to play it at least a couple times a week and still always have a great time with it and follow the forums on a daily basis. No matter how long RB continues to release new DLC, whether that's a few months or a few years, it'll always have a special place in my heart and I'll continue to play it as long as possible. Thank you Harmonix for an amazing 5+ years of RB and your other games as well and I hope to continue giving you all the money I can for years to come. You've brought me so many amazing experiences and awesome music over the years. I know there's more I wanted to say, but I'm sure this is already more than long enough.
1600+ songs in RB3
GT: dudemann14XD
Expert every instrument and have been since RB1
I've been a gamer literally for as long as I can remember (my earliest memory is playing Super Mario Bros. 2 with my older brother). I've played tons of games from various genres, but none really affected me like Rock Band has. I still remember Christmas of 07 opening up that giant box and seeing my first plastic instruments (aside from the GH3 Les Paul I got for my birthday a week earlier). Even though those Rock Band 1 instruments failed often and were RMAd frequently, no other instrument opening compared to the feeling of opening that first bundle. Before playing Rock Band I listened practically exclusively to rap of all things. Rock Band introduced me to new music that I found myself loving, to the point it inspired me to start learning real guitar. With the RBN, it still introduces me to new music to this day by allowing independent artists to get some well-deserved recognition. To some, especially a lot of the other hardcore and old school gamers I come across, Rock Band is sort of glanced over, viewed as a fad, a passing trend, a casual game that's fun for parties but not for hardcore gamers. I have no problem with their opinions and realize that's probably the case for most who play it. To me though it's so much more than that. It made me more open minded to different kinds of music and inspired me to learn a new skill that will stick with me for the rest of my life. I don't know if I would call it my favorite game of all time or anything, but it definitely affected me more than any other game. I've also sunk more hours and money into this series than any other game, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Seriously, I'm not taking the link out of my sig until we've got Dethklok.
Might as well add in my 5 cents on this....
Welp, I'm 14, Probably one of the younger members on here, pretty normal, and I love music thanks to Rock band.
I got guitar hero 3 maybe ~3 years ago for the Wii, and never really got too into it, let my friend who lived near me borrow it for a while. Well, near the end of may(2012) I started going to his house more and more often and I noticed him playing a lot when I came over, and he was playing on hard! This was amazing to me, seeing as how I could barely manage medium, so I started taking turns with him playing it every time I went to his house, and before I knew it, I was playin on hard.
Well, I borrowed an xBox360 guitar controller from another friend of mine, and dug out an old copy of Rock Band I got a while back (I had the drums, although I never got into them too much) and within a week or so, I beat about half the songs on expert. Well, soon I brought the guitar and drums over the my first friend's house, and he was really into the drums, so we couldn ow both play at the same time, with different interests, and I decided to just leave the drums at his house.
Soon I got pretty good (In my terms, I'm nowehere near as good as a lot of people on here) and I beat all the songs on Rock Band, and then I got Rock Band 3. The first thing I noticed was this new "Pro Mode" feature.
I planned to get this Pro Guitar as soon as possible, but about ~2 months ago, my mother died, and I took a break from that idea for a while dealing with family matters (Although, I've never been a really emotional person, as terrible as it may seem.) And well, about a month ago I finally got the Pro Guitar, and now I can play up to about a 4-starred song on medium Pro Guitar, and I'm planning to get an actual Fender and Mustang amp for christmas.

A little late to the party, but I'll chime in. My wife and I had enjoyed Harmonix games for a while by the time Rock Band came out. I religiously followed magazines and online info about the game, and when they announced that the tour would be heading across country, I made sure we caught them when they pulled into Portland, OR.
We grabbed two of our in-town friends and on a chilly October afternoon, we were inaugurated into the wonder that is Rock Band. I sang Dani California and was terrible, I played drums on Black Hole Sun and sucked -- but it was a blast. I came back here and made a massive double-post about my thoughts on the game, overwhelmingly positive and decrying the lengthy wait until it was actually released.
Here is a picture of me (younger, of course), warming up for recording a video at the tour. (If it looks like I'm not having fun, it's because I'm concentrating and no one told me at the time they were taking my picture.) Here's a picture of some of the HMX tour staff showing us novices how it's done -- not sure who any of them are.
At the tour, the four of us even recorded an interview that was featured on Harmonix's official "Shortcut to Stardom" series (the Portland installment.) - there's a link here and we show up around 2:11. I'm the guy who can't stop talking - which should surprise no one. You can also see some gameplay footage of us tackling Suffragete City.
Out of curiosity, any other bands from those Tour videos still around? Where is Hot Pickle now?
We knew one thing coming out of that tour: Rock Band was going to be a part of our lives for as long as it ran and now, hundreds of songs, half a dozen games and plenty of instruments later, that's still the case. I watch the DLC announcements every Friday, and we fervently pick up whatever tickles our fancy. Long live Rock Band.
Also, not strictly Rock Band-related, but every get-together I've ever had the pleasure of with Harmonix folks at PAX has been the most phenomenal experience. They are an excellent bunch of people (and really horrible human beings when you get them in a game of Cards Against Humanity), and reason enough to head to PAX if you didn't have enough.

Telling people online how wrong they are since 1990.
On my 30th birthday, my good friend brought over a copy of Rock Band. This was on November 16th, 2007 which was 4 days before it was to be released. She knew I was a Guitar Hero 1&2 nut and was sorely disappointed that GH3 would be by a different group of developers.
Being an awesome friend and a current HMXer, she brought her early copy over to my place (alongside 16 other crazy nut jobs) and we proceeded to kick major ass. She then let me keep that copy, which I fell in love with immediately.
Who knew that four months later I would be working alongside her at Harmonix itself as I dropped my career as a graphic artist to become a lowly QA-grunt?
So, Rock Band was my start into the games industry which, while it hasn't always treated me very lightly, has made my life so much more fulfilling and rewarding than I thought it could be. I have had the privilege to work alongside all these amazing folks (and, yes, that includes everyone on the Community team) and I chalk up my two years here as some of the best of my life.
Thanks for everything, guys!

I started out on Guitar Hero II and when I heard of a full band game coming out, I immediately had to preorder it so I would be the first on the block to have it. It turned out though that the Playstation 2 version was rather watered down and that just wasn't going to cut it. The next day, I sold my PS2 and the Rock Band for it and went out and purchased the 360 bundle as well as a 360. I was alone in my obsession for a little bit till I began introducing the game to new people like my boss, brother, best friends, and future wife. This is when things really took off and our Rock Band phenomenon began. Rock Band parties began once DLC built up and now have become an every two month or so tradition with 10-25 of us piling into my brothers basement, jacking the souround sound up, having some brews, and truly letting loose our inner rock stars. Now I look at my collection which is about to hit 1,000 in the next two weeks pending DLC I enjoy and know I have never loved a game as much as I love this one. I will always be a Rock Band fanatic for as long as the game is around and far beyond. Thank you Rock Band for the huge impact you have had on mine and so many others I knows lives (and thank you for always sucking my wallet dry on pay day, you damn leeches!

Title: Do not purchase
Date: Jan 07, 2013
I bought 2 of these packs of 8, since I was doing a yo gabba gabba party for 16 kids. Product came exceedingly fast (thanks to Birthday Express!), but I was dismayed to find that one pack contained only 6 loot bags. I counted and recounted but ultimately couldn't use the bags for fear of disappointing two children :( I regret this purchase.

Today In America TV Show Hopeful DirectTV Dispute Will End
- January 17th, 2012
- Write comment
The Today In America with Terry Bradshaw TV show is hopeful Sunbeam Television and DirectTV will resolve their differences and come to an agreement. Contract negotiations on January 1 failed to come to resolution. Sunbeam Television apparently demanded a 300 percent fee increase at the 11th hour. DirectTV refused to pay it and Sunbeam turned off their Fox affiliate in the Miami and Boston markets.
Today in America has high hopes that these two parties will come to terms and work out and agreement so program host and NFL Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw's fans can continue to enjoy any sporting games on these networks. The former Pittsburgh Steeler is well versed in contract negotiations as his NFL was long and subject to them.
The Today in America TV show's official website is www.todayinamericatv.com where you can search TV airings for your part of the country, topics covered on the show, where they are shooting on location, cool videos from the show and browse the new Magazine.
The Today in America production team identifies fascinating stories about industries, entrepreneurs, businesses and more all across the country. The show also features informative episodes about an array of financial topics, lifestyles topics, and topics relating to family issues.

Under former President Hosni Mubarak, the country's security forces had suppressed its own Islamists in the Muslim Brotherhood, even jailing Morsy at one point. That gave Morsy and his government influence with Hamas that Mubarak, a product of Egypt's military establishment, never had, said Fawaz Gerges, a professor of international relations and Middle East analyst at the London School of Economics.
"Hamas listens to Mohamed Morsy," Gerges told CNN as the talks were still going on. "Hamas looks up to Egypt now, at this particular stage, and that is why Egypt has emerged as the most important state vis-a-vis Hamas and Gaza." Egypt's role in the talks was "pivotal," he said.
Iran: The Islamic republic's nuclear program was one of the unspoken aspects to the conflict, according to world affairs columnist Frida Ghitis. "Iran and its nuclear program also play a powerful psychological role, as observers and participants ponder the parallels between the latest Israel-Hamas conflict and a possible war in which Iran would stand against the U.S. or Israel, and perhaps other NATO allies.
"Little wonder then that Israel has received strong support from U.S. President Barack Obama -- who has repeatedly stated, "We are fully supportive of Israel's right to defend itself from missiles raining on people's homes" -- as well as from nations including the UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands and others.
"When Israelis see a rocket launched from Gaza, the thought that one day that rocket could carry nuclear materials burns hot in their mind."
But Iran's hand was arguably weakened after this episode as Israel's Iron Dome shot hundreds of its missiles out the sky, CNN's Newton said.
While Israel has always accused Iran of smuggling weapons to Hamas through the Egyptian border, Iran today implicitly confirmed it.
"Gaza is under siege, so we cannot help them. The Fajr-5 missiles have not been shipped from Iran. Its technology has been transferred (there) and are being produced quickly," Mohamed Ali Jafari, the head of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, is quoted as saying by the Iranian news agency ISNA.

Emmanuel Mendoza and Edgar Canseco, both 21, appeared before Judge Richard Mallett for their sentencing. They were found guilty in Prater's killing after a jury deliberated for a little more than 11 hours and returned with a verdict on June 14.
Teenagers at the time of the killing, Mendoza and Canseco were convicted of their involvement in the shooting death of Prater on Sept. 15, 2010, along with the charges of attempted robbery, robbery under special circumstances and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
Before a courtroom filled with members of the victim's and defendant's families, the defendants stood before Mallett with their attorneys on July 31 to hear their formal punishment for the killing.
Prior to the judge pronouncing the sentence, Prater's father, Kevin Prater Sr., addressed the court to speak about the loss of his son.
"He expressed how we will never be able to see Kevin again," said Prater's mother, Robin, after the hearing. "Have no grandbabies; never again hear his voice. A lot of people are suffering from what happened. He was saying as far as the other family, they still can see them (Mendoza and Canseco), still can talk to them. It's a big, big difference."
"A life for a life, and that's what we wanted," she said. "They will not be able to go back into society and hurt anyone else."
When it was time for the convicted killers to address the court, Canseco declined, but Mendoza asked to speak.
Mendoza's attorney, Jeffrey Hirschfield, said his client spoke from the heart when he apologized to his own family and apologized to the Prater family.
Hirschfield said Mendoza was remorseful for the killing, but the judge reportedly criticized Mendoza when he was done speaking, because he spoke to his own family before he addressed his apologizes to the victim's family.
Prosecutor Thomas Testa said he was told after the sentencing that Mendoza showed his true feelings about the killing while he was lead out of the courtroom. Testa said members of the Prater family told him that Mendoza turned to them as he was walking out and said, "At least I'm still breathing."
Testa said half of the Prater family remaining in the courtroom at the time heard Mendota's comment.
Prater's mother said she didn't hear Mendoza, because she had been focusing on her son's belongings that were handed back to her by Testa after being used as evidence.
"I heard my sister say, 'Shut up,'" Prater said, "and she told me he sneakily said, 'At least I'm still breathing.' No remorse … a sick mind."
Hirschfield said he wasn't aware of the comment. He said he had a difficult time believing Mendoza had said it.
Canseco's attorney, Lance Jacot, was not available for comment.
Evidence presented during the trial showed Mendoza and Canseco had conspired to rob Prater of his jewelry, which was estimated to be valued at $2,000.
Witnesses testified on the night of the shooting that Canseco lured Prater to drive with Prater's girlfriend, Keisha Anderson, to the western end of Sixth Street to pick up Mendoza.
After Mendoza got into the backseat with Canseco, a third man, identified by investigators as Jason Stancampiano, emerged from the bushes and pointed a gun at Prater's chest and demanded his jewelry.
Anderson said Prater was held down by Mendoza and Canseco as he fought with the gunman.
Prater was shot once in the chest. He died a short time later at a regional hospital.
Tracy police arrested Canseco the day after the shooting, but it wasn't until October 2011 that Mendoza was brought into custody by a fugitive task force. He had to be extradited to the United States from Mexico, where he had been reportedly hiding after the killing.
According to Testa, the case is not over because the shooter, reportedly 20-year-old Stancampiano, is still free.
"I really want the big fish — the shooter, the guy with the gun," Testa said. "I'm feeling incompleteness. There's a measure of justice, but not a full measure. The other shoe has to drop. Tracy police are doing their best (to find him)."
Testa said when Stancampiano is arrested he will likely have to make a deal with either or both Mendoza and Canseco to get them to testify against Stancampiano.
Prater agreed with Testa that authorities need to find her son's shooter.
"Now I can devote my time into thinking of ways to get this other one caught," she said. "I'm not done. Now I can focus on him."
Tracy police officials were not available for comment regarding the Stancampiano investigation.

It is pretty weird seeing the level of hype that game has though. People treat it as if it's going to revolutionize the genre but it's just another MMO. I think the flack it gets is mostly from people with too high expectations.
Still, I'm looking forward to it

There is only 2 things that bother me really about this game the controls (k-board) is very very sensitive some times if you push too long it starts sort of spinning but i guess they fix that in some near future... Second the graphic card has to be really really good i can't play with my graphics card more then medium build.
Makes me damn near cry
Other then that it seems to be very interesting and the good thing is that when you help others you get xp too so it's not like you are stealing some one else's thunder when you are helping them
I took the Mesmer that to me was very interesting and good thing about this game is the speed that your char runs in Rift i hated walking same as in Star-wars because it was so slow. It was like oh look snail can move even faster then i can kind of thing
At the moment i'm level 6 i did put my staff away and continued with a sword much more useful. To every weapon there is a different attack ability and underwater stay as long as you like you wont die because of time is running out or you don't have the right potion.

I really have to disagree.
The setup in this game is completely different from other MMOs. In every other mmo, if other people are on the same quest as you, you hate it, but in this game, it is a positive game. Same for resource gathering, all resources are tuned for you and only you, but they are in the same area as everyone else. No more rushing for nodes. And no more "Kill 5 rats and bring their tails to me" quests and other back and meaningless back and forth running.
There lots of "hidden" challenges around maps, lots of mini dungeon type areas and zerg eating event bosses. And not also chests / places throughout maps rewarding explorer in you with loot / short NPC events / beatiful scenery.
And dungeons have 2 modes, Story and Explore which are different form each other. Well not that different, I mean its the same place with same enemies but bosses differ and other stuff
Each race have 3 different main stories with different choies in quests. Whether they are better than all of the SW:TOR ones, can't say. My Charr character's personal story has definitely been better than most from TOR imho.
Dynamic events, while perhaps not that dynamic, but still they are the best ever done in MMORPG history. Better than WAR and Rift.
And not to forget, the main PvP events are awesome and fun as hell! Everything runs smoothly with no problems.
01.09.2012 @ 07:36 #8
if you play ranged class then you can enjoy it more for sure.
On the big fights with 3+ or 5+ people fighting in one big group against mobs, you cant see who is fighting who! or what skills are they using! just flashes! big chaos and explosions! around you! its not aesthetic at all you cant see anything.
character models look pretty outdated/poor its same updated engine from GW1 no question about it, If they are saying its new engine then they are lying. WOW is still the best MMO even tho I havent played it in long time.
quests and world events are cool but I hate melee combat and I refuse to play range class. I dont like the game sorry, Its my 8th MMO I played and I started back when Ragnarok came out in korea. I still prefer Linage 2,TERA,WOW or even SWTOR above GW2. Combat in my book is the most impotent aspect I dont care about events or story.
I honestly gave it a try 4 times but I just dont like it. Did they say development time was 5 years? no way.
If someone is interested I dont mind selling my account for half the price.
Thing im angry about is they dont let you try the game before you buy it!

I agree with this post.
Game has some problems for now(AH is not working,camera is too close and auto banning) but its still one of the best MMORPGs i have ever played.
Game has solid entartaintment value. Exploration is always rewarding, 3W is helluva fun and SPvP is challenging.
Some character story quests lacks, especially Norn and Human ones. But Charr&Asura have splendid story quests. Sylvari quests are in middle ground

Personally i just did not find the Sylvari very interesting got bored after few minutes sure their world is pretty and so on but it just was not for me. I like the Northern ppl and the little inventor guys are cool too... They are adorable little things deadly but adorable.
I did not find elementalist very appealing tried it just was not for me... I like the mesmer(same as i guess illusionist) and necromancer ( Sucking the life out of you ) the thief( u can use swords pistols, knives, harpoons etc... ) and i haven't yet fully explored the others but so far i really like this game.
I started a thief and i got a harpoon that you can use underwater i thought hey this is cool killing monsters underwater and i don't have to worry about potions to keep me alive.
I like that the story lines are all different that they are not like ok everything is the same as in the Rift where every one starts from the same place every single time (gets boring after a while) other then that i really like it
What i love about this game is that when you make a mage you don't have to go always waving your magic wand so does speak you can use other weapons too and the fact that they kick butt too unlike in the rift where i felt that the mage was more like the support class then anything else.

This is simply not true. The game is more CPU demanding than GPU demanding. Are you sure it's your video-card that has trouble running this game and not your processor? My rig can run this game on High without trouble. I only get an occasional framedrop (average FPS is 50FPS but sometimes it drops to 15FPS in really crowded areas) but that's it. My framerate is usually above 30FPS, which is good enough for me.
My rig:
Intel Core i7-870 2,9Ghz processor
AMD Radeon HD 5750 1GB VRAM video-card
8GB DDR3 RAM memory
My rig had more trouble running The Witcher 2 than Guild Wars 2.

Yeah NCsoft really looked at other games outside of the MMO spectrum to find things they could add to Guild Wars 2 to make it a more fun and diverse experience. The Vistas are obviously inspired by Assassin's Creed, the dynamic events and random boss encounters remind me of Skyrim's random dragon encounters and the way everyone has their unique origin story with their own set of quests reminds me of what Dragon Age: Origins did.
It is great that NCsoft really took the time to add so many different things in the game. And the story quest and how it is presented is really well done for an MMO. When I was following the story quest line I really forgot about the fact that I was playing an MMO. To me it felt no different than other single-player RPGs such as Dragon Age or Skyrim. I really liked that.

My brother also plays Elementalist. I play Thief. He and I really form a good team together. I'm basically mixing the role of tank and DPSer while my brother buffs me and spams AoE spells that harm the enemies around me.

The hotly contested race between the two men has seen a large amount of political signs dotting the landscape and some heated debates during the campaign season.
Both men point to their experience and education as reasons they should be elected to the position.
Garrison, 51, cites his 30 years in law enforcement, including his record of 20 years as sheriff of Cherokee County, as the reason to keep him on the job
Garrison says his education, including a master's in public administration from Columbus State University, a bachelor's from Reinhardt University, as well as being a graduate of the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Va., the National Sheriff's Institute, and the Regional Leadership Institute are reasons he should continue to serve as sheriff.
Waters, who works for the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office as commander of animal control, alcohol enforcement and alarm enforcement units, also points to his background as reason why he should be the next sheriff of Cherokee
Previous to working in Forsyth County, Waters worked for the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office.
Waters is a graduate of Cherokee High School, attended Lanier Technical College and graduated from the Southern Police Institute at the University of Louisville.
When asked what he sees as one of the biggest problems facing Cherokee County, Garrison pointed to fraud-related crimes.
"Fraud related crimes, such as identity theft, are the fastest growing crime in the nation, and Cherokee County is no different," Garrison said. "We have seen these crimes rise at an unprecedented pace. I will continue to work closely with all of our city police departments and am excited by the proposition of working closely with the district attorney's office in developing an Identity Fraud Task Force to combat this growing trend. We will work together to develop shared strategies aimed at reducing the victimization of Cherokee County citizens."
Waters says he plans to reorganize the sheriff's office staff, citing that as a major issue.
"As your elected sheriff, I will focus on the ratio between supervisors and deputies," Waters said. "Currently, the ratio is 1.2 deputies per supervisor. Re-organization will be the first step in solving this problem. Re-organizing the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office will enable this agency to be more efficient and effective pertaining to services provided to our citizens," Waters said.
When asked about ways to improve services as the county continues to grow, Garrison said working closely with the cities is a key.
"I am excited about the synergy that is brought to us collectively by the chiefs of police of Canton, Holly Springs and Woodstock. Each of these police chiefs has 30 years of progressive law enforcement experience from agencies outside Cherokee County, and with that experience comes new ideas," Garrison said. "The opportunity exists to leverage these ideas making Cherokee County a public safety model for the nation. I will work closely with each of the cities to develop a collaborative effort in countywide public safety in areas such as criminal investigations, traffic enforcement and traffic time management."
Waters said serving the communities will be a key for him.
"As your elected sheriff services to our communities and our citizens will always be a top priority with my administration regardless of the financial situation the county is experiencing," Waters said. "My administration will be a working staff from the level of sheriff to our road deputies assuring professional services will always be provided as promised to our citizens."

Embossed letters, gold envelops, weird RSVP cards with unnecessary texture, and of course, the obiligatory "kiddish luncheon to follow."
Whatever happened to traditional bar mitzvah invitations?
Granted, I haven't received an actual bar mitzvah invitation in quite some time, but it seems a new method for transmitting a request for attendance is video...music video.
Jorel is the latest young man to digitally invite his guests. A few weeks ago, we saw Daniel's save the date, featuring "Shaq and Barkley" (now at over 375k views).
This time, Jorel is playing off tracks from Queen and a little Psy...and it's not that bad, especially when he hits "Bohemian Rhapsody."
BTW if this trend becomes a real thing, the U.S. Post Office is in for a HUGE loss...I mean, imagine how much revenue they get from the invitation business...

I am Jewish
By Andrew Lustig
I am the collective pride and excitement that is felt when we find out that that new actor, that great athlete, his chief of staff... is Jewish
I am the collective guilt and shame that is felt when we find out that that serial killer, that Ponzi schemer, that wife beater... is Jewish
I am the Jewish star tattooed on the chest of the teenager who chooses to rebel against his parents' and grandparents' warnings of a lonely goyim cemetery by embracing that same Judaism and making permanent his Jewish identity

It's official. You can finally toss out last year's free Jewish wall calendar (I'm sure the Seidenstein Brothers Funeral Parks and Mortuary will understand).
Introducing the Nice Jewish Guys Calendar 2013, the latest in an ongoing series by Adam Cohen. In what looks like a collection of JDate's finest bachelors, the Nice Jewish Guys Calendar offers a different mensch for every month of the year.
Downright sexy mixed meets deviated septum.
WARNING: Buying this calendar may increase your urge to go to that young adult mixer this Chanukah.
Huffpo has the story:
Cohen, the TV Producer of Food Network's Cupcake Wars, got the idea for the calendar in 2010 after joking with friends about how calendars only feature sexy firemen or pin-up style babes.
Now he feels that nice Jewish guys are finally getting the attention they deserve.
"What happened was that I realized I was now carrying the torch for all the nice guys who get passed up in the bar, are still good to their moms, and are a good catch, but the women just don't know it yet." He told BWB.The 12 chosen ones are a combination of friends of friends, people who answered online ads, and even some who auditioned.
Those who were too good-looking got turned away for lacking that je ne sais quoi, according to Cohen.
Read the rest here and watch the promo video below. And don't forget to check out the calendar. $14? Such a bargain!

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Area health agencies are reminding eligible seniors and those with disabilities that now's the time to sign up or review their Medicare coverage. That's because Medicare's open enrollment period ends a lot earlier this year.
People typically have until the end of this month to enroll in or make changes to their Medicare plans. But this year's deadline is in two days.
"Midnight, December 7th," says Carol Behan, director of CLAIM, Missouri's free Medicare counseling program.
KANSAS CITY, MO. (KCUR) - When the Kansas City Star used a federal database this summerto investigate the way doctors are monitored in the region, and matched anonymous records from the database to a specific doctor, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services responded by, among other things, restricting access to the entire public database.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Kansas City's smoking ban has had little, if any, impact on business at area eating and drinking establishments. That's according to a new study, which looked at sales data before and after the ban was enacted in 2008.
John Taurus, an economics professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago, coauthored the study. He says any changes in sales that did take place were related to the overall economic climate.
Salina, KS – Atrazine is one of the most widely used weed-killers in the country. But farm fields aren't the only place the chemical is commonly found. It's also the most widely-detected pesticide in drinking water, especially in the Midwest. With some environmental groups calling for a ban on Atrazine, the Environmental Protection Agency is currently re-evaluating its safety. Kansas Public Radio's Bryan Thomspon reports.
Kansas City, Mo. – About 1.6 million Missourians struggle to understand information about their health. As a result, area health leaders are launching a new initiative to improve health literacy across the state.
The nonprofit group, Health Literacy Missouri, is leading the project. Arthur Culbert is the group's president and says misunderstandings about health care are far too common.
"How many times have you seen a doctor and you walk out and it's like, 'I'm not really sure what he said,'" Culbert says.
Kansas City, Mo. – Federal health officials arrive at the Banister Federal Complex today, the latest part of an ongoing investigation of possible hazards inside the General Services Administration's (GSA's) side of the complex. It's the first time health officials have been called in.

From the Dean
Welcome to the School of Education, Health and Human Services Web site, which is designed to acquaint visitors with our School, our students, our faculty, and our programs. Our undergraduate and graduate students have joined our community of scholars to share our work in schools, in counseling and in health agency sites. Using the scholar-practitioner model and a sensibility that honors those of a "passionate serving kind," we have created a community that embraces all of our disciplines with a common commitment to educate and to serve.
While our faculty, like all Hofstra faculty, is a teaching faculty, they are national and international scholars whose research is frequently site-based to produce the data that drive policy. Committed to the value and uniqueness of every individual, faculty in the School are involved in teaching students to work with culturally and educationally diverse students and clients. Using the state-of-the-art technologies in our facilities, students working collaboratively with faculty have developed new methods to enhance instruction.
The School of Education offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs: teacher-education, counselor-education and administrator-education programs that lead to initial certification, graduate degrees and advanced certificates. We offer doctoral programs in Foundations, Leadership and Policy Studies and in Literacy Studies. Programs in human services include athletic training, creative arts therapy, community health, exercise science, gerontology, health administration, marriage and family counseling, and rehabilitation therapy.
We hope that you will consult our Web pages and our Undergraduate and Graduate Bulletins. We especially hope that you will visit our departments to talk with faculty about your educational plans and interests. We look forward to meeting you.
