The one who did not understood that his time's root supports his life tree was born in vain.

However much we would adore the past it will forever die in the future with us.
Of how much light will my destiny's eyes have to become aware until it will come true in death?
The leaves of hopes which have destined words in the body of the thought have settled to the ground. This is the world.
We are a dream of a thought which lives trough the Word.
We are a dream of a thought which lives trough the Word.
Who can hide himself from death or who can embrace the wind?
Does somebody know why the consciousness of death has to die?
Nobody has ever been beyond his own Illusion of Life.
One will never find in the waterfall of sights anything else than the Illusion of Life, which falls in torrents on the granite rocks of the souls.

MONTREAL – The Impact's recent acquisitions aren't the defining factor in getting some results over the last few weeks, but they could be if the Impact is to maintain that form into both a race to the Playoffs and a CONCACAF Champions League run.
Having brought in Issey Nakajima-Farran and Futty Danso in the last three-and-a-half weeks, Montreal had all the looks of a team wanting more options for CCL when they signed Mechack Jérôme after a one-week trial. According to head coach Frank Klopas, though, Montreal "needed more depth throughout the year anyway."
"Issey is a very good player, you've seen that, his ability in the final third and his work rate. With the other guys, we just needed a little bit more depth in certain spots and some different characteristics, which I think they'll bring," Klopas told reporters on Monday. "It does help with the reserve matches and now qualifying for the CONCACAF [Champions League], the amount of travel you have to do here."
Nakajima-Farran, Futty and Jérôme signed with Montreal in time to clock up some 5,000 additional miles this summer. Joining them in Group 3 of the CCL are New York Red Bulls, a familiar foe, and El Salvador's C.D. FAS, a club that Klopas knows a little.
While FAS will mostly ring bells among the Houston fanbase, whose Dynamo knocked FAS out at the group stage in the 2012-13 edition, Chicago Fire supporters will recall that former head coach Carlos De Los Cobos, whose technical director was Klopas, managed FAS and El Salvador's national team.
"It's probably the best team there," Klopas said of FAS. "It's never an easy task when you go away in places like that to play. But you've got to be excited. New York, we know, but it's also great for the club, going out there, the exposure you're going to get and the experience with some of the guys."

The Rutgers University - Newark MFA Creative Writing Program is interested in the real world experience our students bring to the classroom, as well as to creative exchange beyond the university campus. Our most visible bridge to the University and to Newark is The Writers at Newark Reading Series, which brings nationally prominent writers of fiction, poetry, and nonfiction to campus. The Reading Series provides the opportunity for a diverse audience of students, faculty, staff and the public to hear and interact with these writers in an intimate and dynamic setting. It is also the centerpiece for our community outreach programs, such as our Writers at Newark Mentors Program, where the Rutgers University - Newark Chancellor's Office and the MFA Program partners with local Newark high schools. For more information on our community outreach, please contact us at (973) 353-1107 or at firstname.lastname@example.com

A special gift for my wife
It all started a few months ago when we went to the doctor's office and my wife met Dr Miller. One look at Dr Miller and you knew she preferred women. She had very short and neatly trimmed blond hair. She stood about 5'5" and 110 pounds. She carried herself like a man but had just enough femininity to know she was a woman. The cute doctor made my wife stop and notice, and I soon found out why. ...Read On

When my car broke down and I was told it wasn't fixable, I just wanted to scream. I was far too broke to even think of buying a new one, even a used one. I had no choice, other than to start taking the bus to work. I hated the idea, but I wasn't about to ask my parents for help. They would somehow attach strings to it, I didn't need the hassle. I'm twenty one, I can handle this on my own. ...Read On

Two best friends have their first lesbian experience
I'd turned eighteen the day before our high-school prom. My friend, the girl I'd loved as one of my best friends for the few years we'd known each other, had turned eighteen the previous September. I had a long-term boyfriend of three-and a-bit years by this point; she had one of two years. We were all friends and we'd grown up together. She was beautiful; red hair down to her bra strap,...Read On

No Matter How Much Food Youve Got Stored, It Will Eventually Run Out in a Full-Blown Collapse
Joe Alton, M.D.,aka Dr. Bones
March 1st, 2012
The following article has been generously contributed by Joe Alton, M.D., aka Dr. Bones, of Doom and Bloom Nation where you can find strategies to stay healthy that include traditional medicine, alternative remedies, and medicinal/survival gardening. For the best in emergency and long-term disaster medical preparedness we encourage you to check out The Doom and Bloom Survival Medicine Handbook and follow Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy on their weekly podcast.
To Survive, How Much Land?
Have you ever wondered how likely it is that youll be able to produce all the calories youll need on that piece of land you have? How much land for livestock? How about those solar panels you were thinking about? How many square feet of panels will provide you with the electricity youll need? There are ways to figure this out, and the answers may surprise you.
Lets start by talking power. In a collapse situation, youll probably be able to rely on the sun and wind and not much else, unless youve built a watermill. The best answer might be installing some solar panels on your roof. This is a commonly available option that many people are considering nowadays. Lets say part of your roof is facing south (the best place for a solar panel) and you get 7 hours or so of sunlight, on average. To get the amount of power that an average home uses in a year, youll need 375 square feet of panels. These things arent cheap, and that much hardware is going to be beyond the average familys financial reach. This means that youll have to make decisions regarding how to ration the power you ARE able to produce. Look around the house, and youll probably see lots of things that are plugged in that you can eliminate if the stuff ever hits the fan. This is part of the planning youll need to do now, so that youll be better prepared for times of trouble.
How about food? If you have a family of four, youll want to provide at least 2000 or so calories per adult, more if youre a big guy, maybe a little less for kids. The formula is simple: At least 30 calories per kilogram of body weight. One kilogram equals 2.2 pounds, so an 80 kilogram adult would weigh 176 pounds. 30 x 80 = 2400 calories/day. Less for kids, of course. All in all, youll need to provide 8000-9000 calories a day to maintain your family of fours weight. So, lets talk about some hard realities. No matter how much food youve got stored, it will eventually run out in a full-blown collapse. For your future success, better get that garden growing. Anyone whos done it will tell you that theres a learning curve, and you sure dont want to plant that first seed in the midst of the Zombie Apocalypse.
Now, lets separate your garden out into three categories: fruits, berries, and vegetables, then wheat, then corn. If you went totally vegetarian, you would need a little less than half an acre per person to provide all of those calories. That means a family of 4 needs almost 2 acres of farmable land!
The majority of this land will go to fruits, berries, and veggies. Youll get the most nutrients in terms of vitamins and minerals from these. To decrease the amount of land youll need, consider companion planting. Some organic farmers will plant sunflowers, and then plant peas that will grow up the long stalks. The same goes with corn, squash, and pole beans. Squash will grow low to the ground, pole beans will take the intermediate area, and corn up high. Make sure you dont put plants in the same family together, such as dill and carrots. They will share the same pests and diseases, which could possibly spread from one crop to the other.
If you stock up on wheatberries and use your handy dandy Wondermill, you can cut the land requirement down a bit. A mix of prepared food storage and gardening will keep you healthy and fed for a longer time. Corn isnt a very land-efficient crop, but you might need it for your livestock. An alternative if you need to trim that acreage down a bit more is to stock up on bushels of corn feed; thats about 55 pounds of feed for about $9-10. This is a good idea, but youll use a lot of it. It takes 10 bushels of corn to get a hog from weaning to slaughter. Btw, corn prices are going higher; they were less than 5 dollars a couple of years ago.
Dont forget, youll need some land for hog wallows, goats, rabbits and chickens. All of these animals can be raised in relatively small amounts of space, and provide important protein. Youll need a good 200 square feet for 3 hogs, more if they have piglets. You can get away with less for each of the other animals.
You might have to forget about cows; they arent land-efficient. If you want milk, think about goats, especially Nubian Goats. This variety can produce 1800 lbs. of milk a year, according to various sources. Thats a lot of milk! How about eggs? The average family of four will eat 1000 eggs or so a year. To reliably get this quantity, youll need about 10-15 birds in your henhouse, depends a lot on the breed and the ingenuity of the local foxes and raccoons.
You could probably squeeze this all in with an acre and a half of land. If you dont have that much property, now you know youll need that much more food storage to make up the difference. This is information I thought was important for me to know, and now you know it too.
LOL. And you pinged "headsonpikes". CLASSIC!!!! LOVE IT!
If I run out then the vast majoity of the epople are dead. OK, that leaves plenty of reources to muster to continue living. Having land now isn't important.
"Its the city folk thats gonna have issues."
We got squirrels and pigeons... after they run out we might have to start eating Democrats... ick!
I think dying from a bullet trying to get something to eat is less painful than sitting down and just starving to death.
My prepper buddies are going to laugh their ass off when I tell them what we have forgotten to do.
Dig the burial trenches for the zombies ahead of time.
No one has ever mentioned that, LOL.
You're right - meat can be canned - - with knowledge and equipment. Sometimes I'm concern people see this type of survival as easier than it's going to be. I should have more faith.
I used to read a blog written by a pig farmer over in Scotland. Whenever he sold a pig to a new customer, he'd go over how to take care of them and try to make sure the new buyer was really ready. Too often, according to him, he'd get to the part about choosing an abattoir, and the blood would run out of the new buyer's face, and they'd stammer something about "Can't you get pork without killing the pigs?"
I have to be careful talking about livestock in front of my sis-in-law. She can't handle any reminders that her food was once alive, not even the bones in the fried chicken.
(In her defense, she was abused by both her dad and her first husband, so a few psychological hang-ups are to be expected. In ordinary times, this is merely annoying. I don't know what she's going to do if things get rough.)
My bro told me about the FN 5.7. Nice weapon but flipping expensive. I'm sticking with a common round. 9 mike mike for handgun and 5.56/223 for long gun. I stock up on 22 ammo even though I don't own one. Can always trade.
I want some more hardware but wife thinks I'm overdoing it.
I generally make a point of pinging him whenever I run across a reference to "heads on pikes".
Especially if I'm the one making the reference. ;-)
The garden will be fully planted by next week and I picked up some more vegetable seeds today even though they were a want rather than a need. I try to save seeds for the following year. The tomato seeds saved from last year are sprouted and should be able to be set out. No, my little plot isn't large enough to be sustainable but it's better than nothing. As the article said it's too late to start after the big crash and burn.
I have made it a point to make almost all my weapons .22 for that reason. I have 5 rifles and a pistol that all shoot .22 LR. I have plenty of ammo.
My problem and it is a big one is I live in a city and getting out will be difficult. I fully realize that it will make my chances less but I have family that cannot be easily moved and I cannot just leave them.
A Quarantine sign assumes literacy on the part of those you're trying to dissuade.
That's not a sure thing.
Especially given that those most in need of disuasion probably spent their lives to this point actively avoiding literacy.
Lotsa BBQ sauce and seasonings might solve that.
Scopes are great and very accurate, but they do get bumped off and have to be re-sighted in often. Not something you will want to do with a limited supply of ammo.
I have never been able to use a scope well, so all mine are iron sights. I do however have plenty of ammo.
In my neighborhood there are plenty of squirrels, rabbits, deer, raccoons, possum, morning doves, dogs and cats available for meat.
Yes. I would eat a dog or cat if it came to that.
I have enough space to raise any crop I wish and the means to defend what I grow. Add to that the mindset to defend it as well.
If there is a will, there is a way. I will make sure my family survives.
Whats youre point? BTW you missed at least one more.
I'm sticking to common calibers,
mostly 22lr, 12 guage, etc.
There are cheaper alternatives on their way to market now.
I understand they are also producing a carbine on the same receiver.
It's strange what neighbors have given me this year - sewing supplies, canning jars, a new tool chest full of new tools (!) and garden stuff. Another neighbor asked if I'd please buy his extra lot (uh, duhhhh, yeah) and might be looking at a couple more. I just say thank you and shake my head.
There's a section in the book "guerilla gunsmithing" that tells how to fairly acurately site in a rifle with one shot.
Their reason for this is that you don't want to attract attention, but saving ammo would be another reason.
For about 4 months, the Zombies will be warring for control of the urban areas. They won't venture out until the food, alcohol and drugs are gone. They probably won't go far and there won't be many of them. The men will kill each other wholesale.
No one mentions picking up taboo skills like explosives and counter intelligence either:
Learn to do your own demo. I won't tell your our plan, but in Lucifer's Hammer the local yokel's blow up a bridge to keep the city folk from reaching them.
Good advice. You can also do like the French Resistance and change signs and set up "fake but accurate" detours around your perimeter. This of course assumes GPS down/internet switch flipped, etc.
99% of people fleeing something would take this detour. If this counter-intel sign (a ruse) is compromised by someone, thats where you can get your QRF to intercept well before they reach your compound.
A sign like this may very well be on the way to our retreat, with a couple of "good ole boys" with trucks blocking the route.
As far as explosives, stay legal...nothing will land you in the fed pen faster than explosives and machineguns.....nothing.
Oh, did I mention that you should be skilled in use of chainsaws also? Learn how to weld/build an Abatis, blow/dig culverts, stretches corduroyed with felled trees, etc:
Good luck...Disclaimer: I really hope this stuff never gets used outside the educational realm.....and in complete accordance with applicable federal, state, and local laws. Also, every post by me is for morbid senses of humor for education purposes only. Do not attempt! ;)
I was thinking of the 5.56 in a handgun. (Not the mini AR type) That would be wicked. You would only have to carry one round.
What's my point? Well your idea seems to be lay down and die. NOT AN OPTION for me!
Yes, I know how to do that, but you do that on a fixed target on 'paper'. That doesn't help much out in the field where the scope is likely to get bumped off.
Iron sights are more reliable.
I can say this, if I was taking care of a child with a swollen belly, I'd be none too choosey about imposing a duty on any adult that had more than they needed to get through the day.
Some pigs are smarter than humans.
It'd be easy if we lived in a vacuum, but we get to know and enjoy our family, friends, and neighbors. It will be a difficult decision to make about these people, yes, even some kin. These decisions can be made pre-emptively now as some way of preparing, but then need to be reaffirmed on the spot when the SHTF. This is where your level of "humanity" enters the equation, and can sink ya. Nothing will be easy.
The other question would be, "Where will you be when SHTF?". If you are home no problem. What if you are at work or shopping etc and cannot make it back to your fortress.
I can walk home from work but what if we are at the mall and something happens where we cannot travel back to the house then what? I only keep a few survival items in the car.
Learn to flintnap.
Don't ya think it'd be a bit less risky to...
I dunno...
I believe the S will HTF slowly.
You won't be living a "normal" life one day and then everything goes to hell the next.
If I had the time....
I've heard this guy interviewed on the survival podcast.
He's been through such a collapse in Argentina and he can tell you what it's like.
Society will renew itself under these stressful circumstances.
As you say, nothing re-establishes the notion of effective authority better than heads on pikes.
In the fog of Hobbesian war, they provide a guiding light. ;^)
If you're concerned about calories per acre, live stock is an inefficient way to get there. Not promoting vegetarianism here but it is a more efficient way to get protein.
How about a skeleton with an empty bbq sauce bottle beside it and a "make my day" sign? But that quarantine sign is a great idea as long as they believe it.
My food won't run out, It mostly runs "by" instead, so I have a neverending fresh supply. I can grow and can the rest of my fresh produce. I live on Lake of the Woods as well, so we get the best Walleye fishing in the World, the year around.
"Ill plant a Cheeseburger and French Fry tree right by my beer lake."

FerFal's posts here:
As good or possible better are Selco's Post a Bosinain survivor. Much of which is in this thread:

Also there is a section in my Preparedness Manual on Selco's expereinces.
>>We got squirrels and pigeons... after they run out we might have to start eating Democrats... ick!<<
Well, guess I'll see ya in heaven.
I wish I could have seen that! I hoped it gave him food for thought in the immediate picture, ie, he needs to have a gun and learn to use it for his and his own families' sake. The bigger picture-when conservatives say they believe in personal responsibility, they not only talk the talk, they walk the walk.
But as he's a liberal, I doubt he'll have much problem weaving that veil of smoke around his brain again.
Treatment for superficial wounds..granulated sugar and betadine...wrap and change daily.
99% of SHTF events such as economic collapse, natural disaster, war and martial law should allow you enough lead time to get home and a few more days to shore up. Off hand, the only scenerio that wouldn't would be a nuke or EMP. Second, after water, of survival items in your car should be a good local map that shows the little roadways. Don't rely on a working GPS. It doesn't hurt to plan out different routes and check them out now.

I was in the grocery store. I saw a sign that said "pet supplies." So I did. Then I went outside and saw a sign that said "compact cars. . . ."

There aren't enough days in the weekend.
There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore looking like an idiot.
42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.
A beautiful woman moved in next door. So I went over and returned a cup of sugar. "You didn't borrow this." "I will."
A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

Guide By: HWNDarkside
There are 48 achievements with a total of 1000 points.
Show / Hide Guide Road Map
Step #3: S Ranks
[x360a would like to thank HWNDarkside for this Roadmap]
|The Weapons Collector
|Collect all Sub Weapons in one category.
This will come as you playthrough the Challenges as the rarer enemies are unlocked. You can track your progress via the inventory.
|The Power of "12"
|Pick up one Sub Weapon for each category.
Use Sub Weapon Seize on every character you come across and you'll get this during your Story playthrough. You can track your progress via the inventory.
|The Weapons of Hecatoncheir
|Collect all Sub Weapons.
Every weapon bar 2 can be obtained by defeating the armed enemies and bosses using Sub Weapon Seize. As you work through the Challenges the rarer enemies unlock. You can track your progress via the Enemy Reports in your inventory. The downside is it doesn't tell you which enemies are missing - simply listing ???? until they unlocked. This can make finding them a bit tricky. Check other posts for help their locations. Dark versions are random spawn but can be triggered by leaving locations and returning until they pop up. Once you've unlocked all but 2 of the weapons (you'll be missing an Axe and a Healing Core) return to the Realm Of The Gods to be told you have completed the weapons collection and be awarded the final 2 missing weapons as a reward. Sub Weapon Guide & Enemy Records Guide
|Offer Gifts
|Reinforce one Sub Weapon.
See "Surpass Hephaestus" - unlocks the first time you upgrade any Sub Weapon.
|The Blacksmith
|Completely reinforce one Sub Weapon.
See "Surpass Hephaestus" - unlocks the first time you completely upgrade any Sub Weapon.
|Specialized Power
|Completely reinforce all Sub Weapons in one category.
See "Surpass Hephaestus" - unlocks when you have completely upgraded all Sub Weapons in one category.
|Surpass Hephaestus
|Completely reinforce all Sub Weapons.
You will gather Gifts as you kill enemies and Sub Weapons by performing "Sub Weapon Seize" on armed enemies and bosses. Gifts are used to reinforce your Sub Weapons via the inventory. The rarity of the Gift drops/weapons are limited during story mode and increase as you unlock Challenges via Realm Of The Gods. Location of all enemies and the Gifts they drop are provided in-game.
|Successfully perform a Perfect Sub Weapon Seize.
Hit any armed enemy until they flash orange and you get a prompt to use "LB Sub Weapon Seize". Stop the blue decreasing circle of light inside the 2 central brown rings and you've got yourself a Perfect Sub Weapon Seize, accompanied by yells of "brilliant!" or "yes!"
|Hat Trick
|Successfully perform Perfect Sub Weapon Seize three times on one enemy.
As with "Bull's Eye" but you'll need to perform 3 Perfects in a row.
|Three in the Black
|Successfully perform a Perfect Sub Weapon Seize three times on one boss.
As with "Bull's Eye" but you'll need to perform 3 Perfects on one boss. These do not have to be consecutive - just performed during the same boss battle.
|Soul Slaughter
|Defeat 100 enemies with Soul Seize.
Beat any enemy until they flash Blue to use "RB" Soul Seize. The Soul Seize must destroy the enemy to count. Basic Skeletons are the perfect fodder for this as they die instantly without any need to attack first.
|Bound Souls
|Defeat 10 enemies at once with Chain Seize.
Chain Seize is unlocked at the end of the first level. This requires you to charge up your main weapon by hitting enemies until you are prompted to "RB" Active Chain Seize. This will then suck the souls from all non-boss enemies around you and kill them. If you can't unlock during the story use one of the Challenges with multiple enemies to get it – Looming Skeleteon is a keeper.
|Complete Conquest
|Complete all quests.
Complete them. All. Once you've completed all the Challenges head over to the Story levels and you'll have a couple of sneaky new Challenges hidden in there that'll need to be completed too.
|Smash Hit
|Destroy enemy parts or protective gear 300 times.
You can smash armour etc using Sub Weapon and heavy main weapon attacks. This will come naturally as you play through.
|First-Class Warrior
|Perform an attack with each of the main weapon skills.
Main Weapon Skills unlock as you work your way through the game. You can track your progress under the "Help" section of the Start button menu. You will have 100% unlock by the end of the game.
|The Hunter's Title
|Collect all Gifts.
Just make sure you kill every enemy with Sub Weapon Seize to improve your changes of getting their rarest drops. Everything can be tracked in-game.
|Sword Dance
|Perform 30 hits in 7 seconds using a dual-wield attack.
As you upgrade Dual Swords you'll come across a Skill called Twin Blade. This unleashes a flurry attack. Unload this into 2 or 3 enemies to unlock.
|Battering Ram
|Send 5 enemies flying with one Hammer attack.
This can be unlocked early on - just get surrounded by 5+ enemies and unleash a Sub Weapon Hammer attack.
|Adamantine Axe
|Defeat 5 enemies at once with one Axe attack.
This can be unlocked early on - just get surrounded by 5+ enemies and unleash a Sub Weapon Axe attack.
|Attack Ballista
|Defeat 10 enemies in quick succession with one Bow attack.
The only Bow capable of delivering an attack powerful enough to kill 10 enemies is Bow Of Eros. This is dropped by Dark Archers found in the Challenge "Argos Castle Area". Once you've got the Bow head over to Challenge "Looming Skeletons" to unleash the Skill "Volley III" (may require Gifts to upgrade)
|Wrath of the Anemoi
|Defeat 10 enemies at once with one Wing attack.
Upgrade a Feather weapon sufficiently and head over to Challenge "Looking Skeletons"
|Deadly Poison
|Stun 3 enemies at the same time using the Tail attack.
Select a Tail weapon that paralyses and hit 3 enemies at the same time. All 3 should end up on the floor covered in goo.
|Won't Let You Die
|Use a "Healing Core" 5 times to recover the health of a dying support character.
You'll be joined by characters throughout the game. Your Healing Cores will restore their life bar too – do so 5 times when they are near death.
|The Grace of Erebus
|Activate a "Dark Blade" Underworld Core attack and successfully connect 50 times consecutively.
This one is a bit tricky. I used Essence Of Hatred upgraded to Dark Blade III. Find a Quest with multiple enemies. I unlocked on Gladiator 4 but any Quest with multiple enemies will do. This isn't 50 connects in one attack - it is cumulative.
|The Pyre
|Use a "Flame Core" attack to defeat each type of undead monster, except undead bosses.
Another tricky one – please read K1llerMonkey's post - http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...d.php?t=235432
|Impenetrable Defense
|Defend 100 enemy attacks using a Barrier.
Use Barrier Core "Absolute Wall", go to Challenge "Mating Season" and use Barrier II to defend against the rampaging frogs!
|The Body of a god
|Use the "Spirit of Argos" to take down 5 enemies at once.
Ger Martial Arts Core "Spirit Of Argos" and fire up Challenge "Looming Skeletons".
|Aesthetic Destruction
|Using the Battle Song on Perseus, destroy a part of the "Skeleton King".
"Battles Song" is a Skill on the Piscium Harp. Cast the Skill and then smash a leg/arm off Skeleton King with a Hammer. Challenge "Skeleton King".
|Play 2P Mode for the first time.
Turn on Controller 2 and press Start.
|Trusting Heart
|In 2P Mode, have a support character perform a Sub Weapon Seize.
Using Controller 2 batter an enemy until they flash orange and press to activate Sub Weapon Seize.
|Draw Out the Ichor
|Destroy the heads of 20 giant animated statues.
These are the larger, unarmed moving statues you'll come across. The Cyclopean Maul (Hammer) will decapitate them on first hit. Boostable on Challenge "Argos Castle Area"
|Aerial Dance
|Hit an enemy 20 times while it is in the air.
Two-headed dogs are good targets for this. Use "target + hold back + Y" to launch them into the air then use the Dual Sword flurry attack "Rising Blade" to keep them there. May require upgrading to nail 20 hits.
|Sharp Shooter
|Pierce a cyclops' weak point with a Bow.
You'll come across Cyclops and Polyphemus during the story playthrough. Equip a Bow and shoot either in the eye. If you miss it in story you can meet them again as you unlock Challenges "Son Of Poseidon", "Blue One-Eye Giant" or "Gladiator 5".
|Beaten to the Punch!
|Defeat 20 skeletons who are preparing to throw skulls.
Challenge "Argos Castle Area" has a fight with 4 skeletons; 2xDeath Soldiers and 2xDeath Warriors. To pursuade them to throw their heads you need to put them in Sub Weapon Seize state (ie flashing orange) several times. Once they are flashing orange leave them alone. If they come out of SWS state and then start flashing orange again WITHOUT you hitting them then are about to pull of their heads - use Soul Seize to kill them instantly once they've pulled their head off - else hit them again, but them back in SWS state and wait until the flash of their own accord. (Thanks to K1llerMonkey & COokieAndCream)
|Vanished Threat
|Destroy all parts of the Scorpioch.
This is the big scorpion boss - smash his claws with a Hammer. The tail may take some doing and requires a decent Dual Sword jump attack to destroy. If you miss it in story you can meet it again as you unlock Challenge "Blood-Born Demons"
|Curse of the Gods
|Clear "Mating Season" with the ability "Erosion of the Abyss" set.
There are 4 Sub Weapons you can use for this. Savage Blade (Dual Sword) and Gorgon's Blaze (Bow) need to be upgraded to "Heartless Soul" ability or Fang Of Tartarus (Dual Sword) and Talon Of Tartarus (Bow) upgraded with "Price Of Corrosion". Both of these abilities include the negatively impacting "Erosion Of The Abyss". Start up the quest "Mating Season". 100 kills in 2:30 mins. Do not change your Sub Weapon during the quest. You can make kills with it, just make sure you don't select any other Sub Weapon from your d-pad.
|Height of Olympus
|Obtain S Rank in all Main Quest and Challenge Quests.

Pope Buys a Papal Indulgence
Apparently the Vatican doesn't read Climate Progress or even Gristmill. They just bought themselves a bunch of trees to offset their entire greenhouse gas emissions.
Okay, some don't like the papal indulgence analogy, though others do. And to be fair, the press release notes the Vatican is "steadily reducing its carbon footprint with energy efficiency and solar power"–and the new trees in Hungary apparently satisfy the relatively tough criteria for "EU JI Track 1 approval."
But 100% new trees is just not a good offset strategy as I and others have repeatedly argued — and especially trees as far north as Hungary. Also the company they are buying from, Planktos/KlimaFa, is part of the same company that is hoping to sell dubious geo-engineering as offsets (more on that in a later post).
We just can't indulge ourselves in the false hope that cheap trees are a viable solution to the climate crisis.
One Response to Pope Buys a Papal Indulgence
Pardon the pun here, but I think your post misses the forest for the trees. Whatever your feelings about religion, Catholicism, and old men with large hats (aka. The Pope), as someone concerned with the environment you have to be encouraged by the Vatican's aggressive move toward environmental sustainability. There are 1.1 billion Catholics in the world (one-sixth of the World's population for those keeping score at home) that the Vatican has some degree of influence over. The Pope's ability to create greater environmental awareness and action–he does have a direct line from God after all–is immense, likely more so than say Al Gore's or Shakira's.
You're post should be talking about that phenomenon (and the growing link between religious movements and the environment in general) rather than taking cynical potshots at one piece of the Vatican's overall environmental strategy.
Yes, offsets are not a panacea for climate change–we get it. But let's not criticize and discourage a larger movement over one bit of feel good (albeit flawed) strategy. After all, last time I checked trees were still good for the environment. Or has that changed?

Wow the Necklace is a little smaller but looks amazing,love the London Blue color.
This is quite beautiful, and the price is great.
clean and clear stones, nice tone, and overall a decent sized necklace I plan on keeping this one.
Beautiful but too flimsy and small that I expected. the chain is so delicate, I'm afraid it will break anytime.
Looks great! Good quality. Bought for mother-of-the-bride! Looked amazing on the big day.
I wasn't a fan of this necklace. I purchased it as a bridal set and was very disappointed, it just looks so much more grand and elegant in the pictures. In person, it's very small, and dare I say, cheap looking. I returned it for a refund.
I wore this necklace with the R & M Richards dress and the color was perfect. Very dressy and looks real nice.
The necklace is very well done. The receiver of the necklace was very happy.
It is a very pretty piece that I know my wife will love...its nice that it is all natural stones; however, be warned that the eight larger accents that appear blue in the picture are actually white. The description says as much, the picture is just wrong. I think the picture looks better with the blue, but the white is still nice. Can't beat it for the price, unless you feel like making it yourself!

Emily Explains: A Color Option for Mira
Yesterday Berroco released a new free pattern, Mira, a color work hat designed in Berroco Abode by Amy Christoffers, our fabulous design director. Mira is a beautiful hat that I was so excited to swatch for because knitting with Abode is simply scrumptious. It is a 100% merino wool, loosely spun, single ply yarn that goes from thick to thin. The colors are painted on the white wool yarn so when knitted, the color work looks a bit like a water color painting. Read more

Wendland's Nissan was hit on the driver's side by the semi after entering the intersection. She was airlifted to St. Mary's Hospital in Rochester and died the next day. No other details of the crash have been released. Wendland was a junior at Waseca High School.

Tree Huggers in Nicholas County
Posted in the Summersville Forum
Saint Clairsville, OH
#1 Jul 22, 2012
I am real curious why I havent seen any posts about the Domestic terrorists invading Nicholas County this week? I just found out yeasterday, that Greenpeace (and their affiliates) are planning to disrupt our local mines here in Nicholas county. If you go to the website and check the schedule, they are planning an assault on our area from Wed thru August 1st. they plan to line up and stop the trucks and miners from entering work at the mines in
a "peaceful" display. if you further read their website, the tell of how they plan on jamming our West Virginia court system with lawsuits until they achieve the results they are looking for.
#2 Jul 22, 2012

Protesting is one thing, to block and or hinder a company from doing its business within the law is another. I would really like to see them try and stop the coal miners from going to their job. I suspect it will get ugly very fast if the police do not prevent it. Coal companies and miners have a legal right to work and support their families. Protest fine, but do not break the law and disrupt these peoples livelihoods.
#7 Jul 22, 2012
The article states that they intend to shut down a mine in a non-violent way. Don't think anyone is in the mood for their nonsense. They may get more than they bargained for........
#8 Jul 22, 2012
These miners are under enough stress trying to support their families and not knowing if they'll have a job tomorrow. Hope none of the protesters causes a miner to snap.

Nobody is looking for a bargain. you like your coal, we like our trees, what's the big deal? We have our rights too, not here to threaten as you just did!

#14 Jul 22, 2012
Leave the little commie bastards be- the worst thing for these sniveling urban cockroaches is if there are no incidents to make the news. Ignore them, they aren't native. Let the police handle them. There's no sport in fighting them, they aren't even capable of self-defense.

#15 Jul 22, 2012
Why don't you save your own trees? How do you think it is justifiable to deny a rightful property owner the right to use his property as he sees fit. The only reason people mine coal is to provide for their families. Take the money out of the equationa nd there will be no mining. If you are so interested, provide money to all those that are involved.
#16 Jul 22, 2012
Ok I work at a place that uses coal but it's mostly underground coal. Use to work on a strip mine and seen the destruction of mountains and valleys.these company's don't care about the land just want to make money. I understand people need to make money but it's not right.
#17 Jul 22, 2012
One of the miners might run over a protestor with there rice burner. buy American
#18 Jul 22, 2012
MONEY...that's what it's all about. The tree huggers are just here to make our coal miners mad enough to do something to them then slap a law suit on them!! At least our coal miners are making an honest living, unlike the tree huggers!! Question to tree huggers...Have you ever used a pencil and paper? Do you turn your lights on...ever? Do you wipe your a$$ with toilet paper?!! HUH? Do you travel in a car? So what fuels it? See it's all a crooked way to make MONEY!!
#19 Jul 22, 2012
