I found these boots to be very comfortable. I can go to the mall and walk in the boots for several hours. I would say to anyone just try them.
First time with crocs
This is my first time giving a review. I just had to say these boots are both cute and comfortable. I was concerned about the size. I have never had crocs before. I take a 6 1/2 in all other shoes. So for sure you would want a size 7. I am able to wear a pair of socks with these. This is winter and it was below zero all day today. The comfort was a big issue with me also. I needed something wide enough not to hurt my hammer toe.
I am very pleased with these boots. I plan to wear these for town shopping days and church. With a skirt or dress. Thanks so much.

Goldilock's Boots!
These boots are absolutely the most comfortable boots I've ever worn! However, they are not only comfortable and lightweight, but they are stylish as well. I bet I've tried on dozens of boots over the years, and even though most of them look really good, they offer little to no support --- plus, they're usually too high or too flat! The reason that I called them Goldilock's Boots is that they fit "just right"!!!! What's really amazing is that no one seems to have heard of them -- these boots are simply awesome! :)
Almost perfect
I only got to wear my boots once and the seams ripped open , but Ellen was so great in customer service. She sent me out a new pair that I am currently waiting for. But I do love the look and comfort of this boot.

JONESVILLE — A school used poetry to thank a church for the donations it made in support of the needy children among its student body.
Marlene Sprouse, lay leader for New Hope United Methodist Church, presented the congregation with a card sent to the church by Jonesville Elementary/Middle School during morning worship service on Sunday. She said the card carried a message of thanks from the school to the church for the donations it made toward helping the needy about the school's student body.
Sprouse said Monday that a number of area churches had been given a list of items for donation to needy children of the school. She said that New Hope had been given a list of children's sizes in underwear and socks by the school and had collected and donated the items earlier this month. Also, Sprouse said it was her understanding that several pairs of shoes were also purchased and donated by church members for the students.
In the card, which Sprouse read aloud to the congregation, the school asks the church to "Please accept this poem as a token of our gratitude and for being the true teachers of the spirit of Christmas."
The card also included a poem, also read by Sprouse, thanking the church:
For your kindness words cannot express
All the gratitude we feel at JEMS.
For the books, clothes, dolls and toys
will thrill the hearts of all our girls and boys.
The gifts you give are from the heart
but the true spirit of Christmas is what they impact.
The students will hold these loving memories clear
and will share with others from year to year.

First solo exhibition in the United States by Dutch artist Charlotte Dumas opens at the Corcoran

This summer,
the Corcoran Gallery of Art and College of Art + Design
presents Charlotte Dumas: Anima (July 14October 28, 2012), the first solo exhibition in the United States by Dutch artist Charlotte Dumas and the fourth exhibition in NOW at the Corcoran, a program dedicated to showcasing work by midcareer and emerging artists. Anima, organized by Paul Roth, the Corcorans senior curator and director of photography and media arts, will showcase a newly-commissioned series of portraits in the Corcorans Rotunda that show the majestic burial horses of Arlington National Cemetery, and will be accompanied by three earlier bodies of work, showing the artists range of approaches to her subjects.
A rising international contemporary artist, Dumas recently received widespread acclaim for her photographs of the surviving search and recovery dogs of 9/11. Dumas photographs are intended to provoke a kind of interaction, one that is focused and intense, between her viewers and her subjects, said Roth. Her goal is to engender a visual relationship, so that the portrait makes us more conscious of how we look at animals in our everyday lives.
Dumas, who travels the world making evocative formal portraits of animals, typically works in series, portraying animals characterized by their utility, social function, or by the way they relate to people. Drawing inspiration from classical portrait painting of the 17th-century Dutch Golden Age to explore the relationship between her subjects and their environment, Dumas often presents her subjects as heroic, engaged in a struggle of sorts against their marginalization or confinement, and against the spatial and psychological encroachment of people.
The bond between mankind and animals, and the extensive history that it accompanies, is my great interest, said the artist. I investigate how we tend to use and regard animals for our own purposes, both literally and symbolically and the characteristics that we like to take to heart from them, and the ones we attribute to them.
Commissioned by the Corcoran, Dumas recently began photographing Arlington National Cemeterys burial horses while in their stables and at work. These Army horses, which belong to the Old Guard, the 3rd Infantry Regiment, carry soldiers to their final resting place in traditional military funerals. Additionally, the exhibition presents three earlier series of portraits that investigate the inner lives of particular animals: Reverie (2005) depicts gray wolves, alone and in packs, in forested nature preserves in Sweden, Norway, and the United States; Palermo 7 (2006) contains close-up portraits of racehorses, with their heads tethered in place in their hippodrome stalls in Italy and France; and Heart Shaped Hole (2008) depicts stray dogs, adapting in different ways to the privation they experience on the streets of Palermo.
Starting this spring, Dumas will work in tandem with graduate students from the Corcorans Master of Arts in New Media Photojournalism programa pioneering academic program for visual journaliststo prepare a short documentary on her work. The documentary, which will be on view alongside Anima, will examine Dumass artistic process as she works to photograph the burial horses at Arlington National Cemetery. In the fall, Dumas will return to the Corcoran College of Art + Design for critiques and opportunities to discuss her work with students, and to present a public lecture at the end of October.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste...Alzheimer's leading cause of death
Category: Health Written by Ashley N. Johnson
It is the most common mind diminishing disease and approximately the seventh leading cause of death among individuals over the age of 60. But it is the least likely to be talked about or taken seriously, until it strikes one's family—it's Alzheimer's disease.
Dr. Jeffrey Harris, of Harris Neurological Associates and an Alzheimer's disease specialist in Alabama, says that Alzheimer's is a progressive memory disorder that starts with the loss of short-term memory and progresses into long-term loss. One loses the ability to do any activity associated with daily living, for instance feeding themselves, grooming themselves or going places without assistance.

Study: High-fat diets raise stroke risk in women
Category: Health Written by Associated Press
by Marilynn Marchione
SAN ANTONIO (AP)—A moment on the lips, forever on the hips? A bad figure is hardly the worst of it. Eating a lot of fat, especially the kind that's in cookies and pastries, can significantly raise the risk of stroke for women over 50, a large new study finds. We already know that diets rich in fat, particularly artery-clogging trans fat, are bad for the heart and the waistline.
A computer image mapping parts of the brain.
The new study is the largest to look at stroke risk in women and across all types of fat. It showed a clear trend: Those who ate the most fat had a 44 percent higher risk of the most common type of stroke compared to those who ate the least.

HIV/AIDS disparities in Blacks preventable
Category: Health Written by Rebecca Nuttall - Courier Staff Writer
Although the number of HIV infections is growing at an alarming rate throughout the Black community, African-American women are the group most disproportionately affected. While representing only 12 percent of the U.S. female population, they account for 61 percent of all new HIV infections among women.
AWARENESS AND OUTREACH—Artistree performs at a National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day event at Central Outreach Center Feb. 27.
"African-American women are 20 times more likely to get infected with HIV than White women," said Dr. Debbie Hagins, clinical director of outpatient services for the Chatham County Health Department IDC Clinic. "This is in part due to the increased likelihood of being exposed to HIV through heterosexual contact because HIV is so prevalent in communities of color."

Stroke study finds neck stents safe
Category: Health Written by Associated Press
by Marilynn Marchione
SAN ANTONIO (AP)– People at risk of a stroke because of narrowed neck arteries can be safely treated with a less drastic option than the surgery done now, the largest study ever done on these treatments concludes.
If Medicare agrees to cover it, hundreds of thousands of Americans a year might be able to have an artery-opening procedure and a stent instead of surgery to remove built-up plaque, doctors say. A stent is a wire-mesh tube that props the blood vessel open.

When Gary Erickson went on a day-long, 175 mile ride with a friend, he snapped. "I could make a better bar than this!" he decided. And he did. In his mom's kitchen. To this day, Clif Bars taste deliciously home baked; not least because Gary is still the owner of Clif Bar. But the perhaps the most impressive thing about Clif Bar is their commitment to people, to community, and to environment. It's a truly ethical company - with a truly tasty product.

Touch My Hand
Vocalist Princess sang with Osibisa in the '70s before touring as a background vocalist with several artists, among them Evelyn Thomas and Precious Wilson. She was signed as a solo act to Supreme Records, where the production team of Stock, Aitken & Waterman got her a series of British hits. She didn't fare as well on the American charts, recording for Next Plateau in 1985 and 1986 or 1987 on Polydor. Her best single was "Say I'm Your Number One," which was also her lone Top 20 R&B hit. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi

Olympic gold medalist Shaun White will lead a sparkling cider and s'mores toast to Northstar California ski resort at its 40th Birthday Bash on Saturday.
The all-day event at the Lake Tahoe area resort starts at 7:30 a.m. with first tracks skiing and breakfast ($80 per person) and continues with snowshoe races at 11:30 a.m. ($20 to $40 per person) and live bands throughout the day. Folks can gather at 3 p.m. at Northstar Village to catch the toast and some entertainment for free.
So what's new after four decades? Ski magazine describes Northstar (a.k.a. Northstar-at-Tahoe) as having "changed from a sleepy to a top-notch resort," singling out its terrain park and woodsy tree skiing for kudos. The resort began operations in December 1972, which explains the '70s costume contest and party that's part of the bash too.
Snowboarders first took to Northstar's slopes in 1988, snow tubing was added in 1997 and terrain park features, including a 22-foot Superpipe co-designed by White, followed. Vail Resorts bought Northstar in 2010.
White, who won his Olympic medals for the halfpipe in 2006 and 2010, calls Northstar his home training turf. He will drop in at the on-site Burton Snowboard Academy's kids clinic during the day too.
Check out Northstar's website for more information on lift ticket prices, etc., or call (800) 466-6784.

he Golden Crescent, running in a wide swath along the Atlantic Coast from Savannah to Cape Canaveral and inland towards Tallahassee, is remarkably rich in history and prehistory. Following thousands of years of Native American occupation, this area witnessed many of the first North American encounters among Europeans, Africans, and native inhabitants. A two-hundred-year-long period of small settlements, mission-building, colonial warfare, and pirate attacks gave way in the late eighteenth century to the beginnings of the plantation system. Spain's cession of Florida in 1821 finally made all of the crescent part of the United States. Rice and cotton plantations, with their interdependent white and black populations, dominated the antebellum years. After the Civil War, the Golden Crescent underwent additional transformations - Reconstruction, the shift to sharecropping, a resort boom, a lumber boom, and the struggle for civil rights. The interactions of Native American, African, and European groups in the crescent have profoundly influenced the course of American and world history. Today, many of the historic wonders of the crescent are protected under the careful stewardship of state, federal, or nonprofit ownership. Take this opportunity to catch a glimpse of the cultural crossroads of the Golden Crescent! In
addition to this web site, more information on the historic sites of the Golden Crescent
is available from a number of sources. Good places to start
are the tourism hotlines maintained by the states of Georgia (1-800-VISIT-GA) and Florida
(1-888-7-FLAUSA), or the various sites managed by the National
Park Service. |

Discovery Place KIDS–Rockingham announced on Tuesday a $50,000 donation from HWY 55 Burgers Shakes & Fries, formerly known as Andy's Burger's Shakes & Fries. The donation is dedicated to general support for the new children's museum.
Currently under construction, Discovery Place KIDS–Rockingham will be the only museum of its kind in the region and will encourage the development of essential childhood skills through imaginative, creative play and learning activities for young children and their caregivers.
"As a small business owner with stores in the region, I believe it is important that our community has a vibrant quality of life, full of enriching experiences for all ages," said J.R. Cottle, owner of HWY 55 Burgers Shakes & Fries. "I have a strong belief in giving back to the community and I am looking forward to having a place to take my children as soon as Discovery Place KIDS–Rockingham opens."
Cottle, who began working at the restaurant as a fry cook when he was 15 years old, bought his first HWY 55 Burgers Shakes & Fries at age 24 in Rockingham. He now owns stores in Rockingham, Lumberton, Locust and Lexington, S.C. Citing his experience as an employee and his perspective as a franchise owner, Cottle said he strives to set an example by taking on many different roles, ensuring the customer experience is the best it can be and making guests feel at home.
"Contributions from generous corporate citizens and small business owners like HWY 55 Burgers Shakes & Fries and J.R. are essential as we enter this final stretch of fund-raising," said Russell Bennett, Discovery Place KIDS–Rockingham campaign committee co-chair. "These dollars are going to help provide endowment funds, facility needs, exhibition fabrication and maintenance; not to mention bright, happy smiles from all of our children."
Even as the museum moves forward on schedule towards an early 2013 opening, its leadership team continues to raise necessary funds as part of an ongoing comprehensive campaign. Money raised will prepare Discovery Place KIDS–Rockingham to offer developmentally-appropriate activities for young children that include physical activities, live programming, exploration, the arts and more.
The Discovery Place KIDS-Rockingham campaign was initiated with a commitment of $6.6 million from the Cole Foundation and the Richmond Community Foundation, gifts that were facilitated by The Foundation For The Carolinas. For more information, visit rockingham.discoveryplacekids.org.

Democrats leading in Ill. Legislature; Smith wins
CHICAGO (AP) – Democrats were off to a strong start Tuesday in their efforts to hold onto solid majorities in both houses of the Illinois General Assembly, even claiming one seat party leaders wished they hadn't.
Former state Democratic Rep. Derrick Smith, booted from his House seat in August because of a federal bribery charge, won back his post with 62 percent of the vote over a candidate the Democrats wanted to replace him.
The Illinois Constitution precludes kicking Smith out more than once for the same offense.

Roland Martin: Black pastors didn't say don't vote on Election Day
Recently, when we ran an AP story that asserted that some black pastors are encouraging their congregations to not vote on election day, it dropped jaws and raised more than a few eyebrows.
Now, CNN's Roland Martin has responded. He writes that that's not what the pastors were saying. In other words, don't believe the hype.
When I first saw the headline, I was stunned, especially knowing the blood that has been shed over the years by African Americans and others to gain the precious right to vote.
I read the more than 1,300-word story by Rachel Zoll, with a contribution from Bill Barrow. The first line was "Some black clergy see no good presidential choice between a Mormon candidate and one who supports gay marriage, so they are telling their flocks to stay home on Election Day."
Nothing in the story legitimately backed up that first line. Anybody who had read the full article would know that.
In reading the piece, Zoll and Barrow quote or mention pastors A.R. Bernard, Jamal Bryant, George Nelson Jr., Floyd James, and Howard-John Wesley, Lin Hill and Dwight McKissic.
Not a single one of these pastors was quoted as saying they have or plan to tell their congregations not to vote in the presidential election. Not one.
Several expressed misgivings about President Barack Obama's support for same-sex marriage, and others had negative thoughts about Mitt Romney being a Mormon or the effect of his policies on their congregants. One said he hasn't decided whom he will vote for, and McKissic said he'll go fishing on Election Day.
But not a one said they were telling their members not to vote.
Several expressed misgivings about President Barack Obama's support for same-sex marriage, and others had negative thoughts about Mitt Romney being a Mormon or the effect of his policies on their congregants. One said he hasn't decided whom he will vote for, and McKissic said he'll go fishing on Election Day.
But not a one said they were telling their members not to vote.
The only time this assertion that pastors are telling their congregations to stay home comes from a quote, lifted from another newspaper. The story quotes Bryant as telling the Washington Informer, "This is the first time in black church history that I'm aware of that black pastors have encouraged their parishioners not to vote."
The reporters couldn't reach him to ask him about it, but going ahead and using the quote is suspect. The writers provide no specifics, no context, or anything else. Bryant said he was aware of this, not that he knew anyone. This is third-hand reporting. Unless you as a reporter know of specific pastors telling their congregations not to vote, it's wrong to make the assumption.
Bryant even tweeted the AP after the story ran: "WHEN did you contact @jamalhbryant in order to get his statement on voting? you need to revisit this & be accurate."
Pastors recommending that their followers stay home on Election Day would be jeopardizing their 501(c)(3) status with the IRS. A pastor can say whom he or she is personally supporting, but directing their congregations not to vote for a candidate would be a violation of federal law.
So these news outlets that ran the story could not have read the piece. If they did, they need to explain to their readers why they ran it.
When contacted about this story, the AP said it "stands by the version of the story that we distributed, separate and apart from versions that deviated from our own text."
But I believe AP should thoroughly examine its internal controls because that story has other fundamental problems.
It is clear that Zoll and Barrow chose to ignore compelling data that undercuts the article's general thesis. If you look at any polling data, it is clear that African-Americans overwhelmingly are going to vote for Obama. One recent poll says he will get 94% of the black vote. Surely, there are black Christians among that particular group.
Can AP explain why this recent polling was missing from this story? Surely the facts could put their story in perspective.
Second, the Obama campaign has an extensive faith-based outreach among African-American pastors, and the president has participated in conference calls with them, including one on the day he announced his support for same-sex marriage.
Why didn't Zoll or Barrow make mention of that or try to reach out to them? That's Journalism 101.
Last, it's nonsensical to quote several black pastors who have misgivings about positions taken by Obama and Romney and conclude that "African-American Christians waver over vote," as the first headline provided by AP said.
No, maybe those individuals are wavering, but the evidence is clear that a super-majority of African-Americans, including Christians, are clear as to which candidate they are voting for in November.
There is no denying that Obama's same-sex marriage position caused tremendous discussion in the black community, and I have heard from a handful of folks who say that has changed their view of him and dampened their enthusiasm to support him for a second term. But I would never offer up a sweeping claim that it is as widespread as Zoll and Barrow suggest.
Some would say this is internal journalism stuff. I disagree. This story has led to editorials blasting black pastors; caused some mentioned in the article to feel obliged to come out and state who they will endorse; and has led to consternation among the general public.
Our job in the media is to inform and enlighten, not confuse. Running such a confusing, unsupported story lacking basic context and perspective does not serve the public at all.
Editor's note: Roland Martin is a syndicated columnist and author of "The First: President Barack Obama's Road to the White House." He is a commentator for the TV One cable network and host/managing editor of its Sunday morning news show, "Washington Watch with Roland Martin."
+ Top Story
African Americans have spent much of our history fighting for equal treatment. Just two generations ago, our parents and our grandparents were banned from eating at certain restaurants, attending certain schools, and working in certain professions.
When then President George W. Bush submitted the names of his judicial court nominee picks it took the Senate on average 18 days to take a vote on his picks. When now President Obama submits the names of his judicial court picks it takes 132 days on average to get a Senate vote on them.
President Obama's cautious admonition not to rush to judgment about the Boston Marathon terror bombing until all the facts were in put a momentary check on the media and some in the public who were rushing to spew the perennial "Muslim terrorists" did it line.
The fact that I didn't go any further than calling him useless was my being nice. If I said what I really felt about Sen. Reid, then you could call me mean. In fact, you could feasibly ask me if I kissed my late Mother with that mouth....
For five hours on August 8, 1944, the young second lieutenant stood nervously before an all-white nine judge military jury panel at Camp (now Fort) Hood, Texas. He faced multiple charges in his court martial proceedings. His only real offense was that he had defied a segregation mandate.
In 1963, more than a quarter-million people gathered in Washington, DC to march for jobs and equality. The Great March for Jobs and Freedom was a watershed moment in American history - birthing now-iconic speeches that voiced the hardships facing blacks as they sought a fair shot at an elusive dream.
The Republican National Committee's $10 million outreach to blacks, Latinos and Asians carries with it a profound sense of irony. If it is to succeed it will require much more than the legion of paid staffers going into ethnic neighborhoods for sit-down discussions with voters.
Now if you've ever been to Ohio, particularly if you've ever been to OSU, you know that there are few things more important than football. Football players were practically Gods at OSU, especially if the team had vanquished the hated University of Michigan Wolverines that year. They had absolute power.

Local Universities Competing with Online Education Programs
By: KARK 4 News
Updated: February 11, 2013
But one Arkansas university says this explosion of success will not demolish its institution.
The University of Arkansas system says it recognizes the burst of online universities, their success, and convenience, so it's time to beef up the system.
President of the U of A system Dr. Donald Bobbitt, says the current funding, delivery and business models all have to change.
Statistics show a more than 200 percent increase in online class enrollment at for-profit universities, whereas traditional universities grew at only 25 percent.

Malevolent Beings
: A game some friends and I wanted to make in early high school. It never got past written ideas and some drawings, but I picked it up a few years later and have since worked on it by myself on and off for several years.
: Fantasy
: RPG Maker XP all the way!
The universe was created by a family of gods, and like any family, there were problems. The youngest, a Child God called Asagiel became resentful of the other gods, and sought to destroy all of their creations. So ensued the Cataclysm war, one that tore apart the world of Reyal, destroying the Mother God Naygabess and her people and putting the denizens of Reyal into an almost ever lasting conflict with one another.
Many centuries have passed and a young King has taken the throne of Guinea, the long descendants of Asagiel's people. Although his father managed to keep a semblance of peace between the two nations, a dedicated organisation of people seek to undo all his deeds and throw the nations into a final war in which there can be only one victor...
The game is set on the planet of Reyal, which was created by Elbator the Father God. On it resides two nations, one created by Elbator (Crysta) and the other descendants of Asagiel's twisted and blood thirsty race (Guinea). It is played from the point of view of denizens of Guinea.
(One of Prowin's sets of armor later in game)
Name: Prowin Mizeret
Age: 17 (Game starts during his childhood)
Bio: (Main Character) Prowin's family are priests, a duty passed down from father to son, mother to daughter ever since the cataclysm war ended. These priests teach the core religion of Guinea, the worship of Elbator after their original god abandoned them. Naturally, he wishes a more exciting life, something forbidden by the confines of the law.
(Intfa in the Guinea Military uniform)
Name: Intfa Lionsbane
Age: 16 (Once again, childhood)
Bio: One of Prowin's child hood friends. As subtle as a brick in the face, Intfa speaks her mind and is more comfortable in a suit of armor and swinging a sword than a kitchen apron and broom.
(A default charset I plan to change the body of later)
Name: Patrick Agamay
Age: 17
Bio: Prowin's best friend. Skilled and destined to become a valuable member of the Guinea Army.
(Brias in his final suit of armor. Pretty nifty eh?)
Name: Brias Brandthorn
Age: 30's
Bio: A member of the Guinea army and hails from Prowin's home village. Though strict at times, he is patient when dealing with those less disciplined than himself.
There is one other temporary character and 2 more permanent ones and one hidden one, but that would ruin the story if they were revealed here.
Oh boy this is gonna be annoying o.O

If I missed anything, It's not because I'm trying to take credit, so feel free to point it out if you notice it at any stage.
Screen Shots
The part I skip to just to see how much effort someone puts into a game :-)
Puzzle, by activating the center of the square (where the symbol is) you will raise/lower the adjacent squares. Sadly this is a little laggy when playing, so I hope when people get to this stage, when I make a demo, they don't scream at me...
Lovely curvy walls... A dungeon late game. (Note the white patch will appear as black in game).
A scene from a Royal Palace, decked with so much marble that it may insult the senses a bit :-S
Big fan of animated characters, who raise their arm, turn their head etc. Its a little hard to see, but these guys bob up and down with weapons drawn ready for... something... Also an example of speech, Main characters have their own color, everyone else is just plain red. Helps to identify who is talking without relying on name tags or speech patterns.
Clear waterfalls and caves.
The main menu. I'm rather proud of it, it's mostly the default menu with a lot of messing around by me. Remember how each character has their own color? That's shown here, each character has a colored window pane displayed for every instance you see their stats like this (when using an item, at the end of battle or looking at their stats. You can also see the status afflictions, and the map behind it with clear water that gets deeper, complete with swimming fish and a jelly fish you can barely see.
My heavily edited Save and Load screen. The scenery doesn't change, I COULD do that I suppose, but not worth the effort for how little you actually see the save/load screen... Notice the party members arranged with 1st in front, second on the right and third on the left?
Welcome to the World Map of Guinea. The player moves the cursor around to select the destination, or to try and find hidden locations.
Last and least, the battle system. Ive got it so the 'status' option on the second command window (those familiar with the CTB will know what I mean, it has skip, defend and stuff) will show the active battlers Status afflictions, cuase I dislike the size of the ones shown on the actual HP section, which I'll probably end up reorganizing or something later. It's my hope to give every character different poses for attack, defend etc, but that's an undertaking i'll leave off for a while.
Here we go;
~Obvious ones are the side view combat system
Magic is learnt through using a substance called Magic Essence. Essence can either be consumed in it's raw form for the most basic level of that spell (Ie Fire Essence), or combined with a number to create a stronger form (ie 5x Fire essence combined to make 1x Bright Fire Essence.) When consumed, the player is taken to the 'Otherworld' where they face an inner challenge to be granted it's power, sometimes through puzzles, others through fights or both (Note this process is only needed to be performed once per type of essence, ie Once Fire Essence has been learnt once by one character, it will simply be taught to others when used.)
Some Magic will be rare, naturally, which leaves the player with the choice of giving everyone a low level magic, ie 3 characters with 'Death', or save the essence and combine it into one powerful spell 'Death All' to be given to only one character.
Combat Proficiency or C.P. and EXP
A small spin on the idea of levels. Unlike traditional RPG's, players can loose EXP and go down in C.P. for negative actions such as springing a trap, being KO'd in battle and one particular nasty Status Ailment that lowers EXP each turn (in battle) or each step (on Map).
Every character has an Aura that is changed by actions taken, such as attacking in battle, using a curative item, breaking into peoples houses etc. That Aura can be one of 5 types, Fiery, Calm, Enlightened, Holy and Dark. Usually increasing one will reduce it's polar opposite (Fiery <=> Calm, Dark <=> Holy), the only exception being Enlightened. A characters dominate Aura effects what Items they are allowed to equip, and at several instance what dungeons they are allowed to enter (ie there's one you can only bring characters with Calm into. Do you go in with one or two, or do you try to work on all three and bring a stronger team in?)
Examples of items that are affected are accessories like 'Eye Goggles'. A character wearing these, and with a dominate Fiery aura, will be immune to blind. Another body armor can only be equipped if the character has a dominate Holy aura and provides a HP bonus.
But how does one know what kind of Aura they have? Late game it will be simple, but throughout most of the game you have one of two options, by touching a piece of the legendary Cerpius stone, often found in churches, or by trying to equip something that can only be equipped with a certain Aura. Sure, that last method sounds like a full proof way, but items simply won't work without the right aura, and you won't know if it is working until some monster is trying to blind or put you to sleep, at which point it may be too late...
Character will go through several costumes, depending on whats happening. Although this makes it harder for me, when there is climbing animations, weapon drawn animations and hopefully all the battle poses, it keeps the characters fresh and interesting. An example is when Intfa is promoted through the ranks of the military in the story, her uniform will change accordingly.
Each character is able to unlock a final outfit that will be the only one that actually provide benefits like increased HP.
After playing FF Tactics, I became a huge fan of what little animations simple characters can do. Expect a lot of people shaking their head, drawing weapons, throwing up, being axed by a giant spear, burning to a crisp etc, etc.
I Frankensprite to the max with this. A lot of stuff done to the maps is taken from the original RTP, recolored, or patch worked onto other RTP stuff. Some of those screenies do it justice, but it will be hard to see until a demo comes out. This will hopefully show how gorgeous maps can be with just a little (or a lot) of editing of the basic tile sets.
Puzzles and mini-games
FF7 rocked, and has been the best RPG I've ever played. Enough said. But what set that apart from others? In my opinion it was the mini games. Having to press a sequence of buttons with the right timing to beat someone else in doing squats, in order to get a blond wig to combine with other items so that the main character can dress like a girl to sneak into a mansion. Or climbing a frozen mountain top while regularly having to warm yourself up to keep your body temp from dropping and oh so many more. These put the characters life in my hands.
I hope to emulate these kinds of puzzles and mini games. An example is a bridge crossing scene in bad weather that get's progressively harder. First trip you just have to hold onto the rope when it gets windy or you loose your balance, the second it is raining so if your caught on a puddle of water, you loose balance even more, and finally there is lightning where if you don't move at the right time, you get shocked (made harder by the fact there is water and wind).
Challenging Battles
Introducing Terrain Obstacles. These can produce one of four results if the player risks to tamper with them. Either nothing will happen, You will discover an item, it will have a negative effect on the enemy (ie a tree falling over), or you will tick something off an cause an additional enemy/s to appear. These appear at random, and maybe not at all in some places.
~Not always Hack and Slash...
General battles are, but my goal is to turn every boss battle into something unique. Two examples;
Fire Sprite: You can collect some Ice Crystals before the actual fight. In the fight the Sprite will use a move that lays fire across the battle field, which will damage you from crossing it if you attack it. You can extinguish it with the Crystals, or wait it out.
Water Serpent: Has low def but shields itself from damage and spawns 3 water apparitions. After X amount of turns, the shield will weaken and make it vulnerable. After another few turns it will flood the battle with a powerful attack destroying the water apparitions, and starts the cycle over again, with the idea that you have to kill off the apparitions in time to unleash your full potential when it's weakened.
~Status Ailments
How often in an RPG have you run across an Antidote, and thought "What a waste of bag space...". Not here, I plan for a variety of effects (though very vanilla, ie Blind, Mute etc...), that are a persistent threat to the player. Some last only for a battle, others persist outside, and no save point is going to regenerate your health and heal your wounds. Either use items or visit an Inn, but those aren't always readily available...
Some are naturally unavoidable, but optional ones can be unlocked by searching on the map or being informed by helpful villagers. these optional dungeons I plan to grant no EXP at all in battle (so people don't outgrow the story line difficulty), but can provide treasures and money (and an optional character at one point...). Some of these will be simple, others not so.
Eventually I will try my hand again at composing, I have one song already but for the most part I've managed to find a few beautiful pieces by users such as fellow RRR members Dragndude9 and Joerao, and some from other music sites. I guess this isn't much of a feature, but I'm avoiding using the standard music, and with some scores provided by these guys for everyone to use, have made the game that much better.
A work in progress idea that is being fleshed out. There are different aspects to be ranked on, ie "Item Finder", "Citizen of Guinea" or "Dungeon Delver". The more points you accumulate in these, the higher the level you are, thus unlocking stuff. Ie high rank Item Finder may let you into a special pub for travellers in a main town where there are discounted items, or an old woman may give you certain items based on your Citizenship.
I'm not aiming for a 100% original game. There are ideas from other games I've played that you may see, simply because I thought it was awesome. Hopefully you will agree that most of them aren't shameless rips...
FF series from FF 7 ~ 10
FF Tactics
Legend of Dragoon
Tales of Phantasia
Chrono Cross
The game is like 13+ hours on my last play through with only first 3 even having battles, and I haven't finished it yet either. I'm doing a run through atm and adding battles to the maps, fixing up sound effects, music and some eventing. I plan to make a demo when I get to a reasonable section (ie 5 hours in). It's just at that point where I gotta show something after all time of making it... Easily will have demo in under a month.

It looks pretty interesting. The story sounds like nothing more than simple fun, which is great for people looking for something they can dive right into without the complicated mess some rpg's have become. I'm not sure about the screenshot for the Royal Palace though. Looking at it is hard on the eyes and makes me think of somebody's hallucination after downing a bag of 'shrooms, or something. At least the other screenshots work well.

It looks like you put a lot of effort into making this game. Which is good, because you have told us like, nothing about the plot. You haven't really told us the main goal, or the bigger picture. Just the information about events leading up to the game.
From what I've seen, the mapping looks really nice, so bravo on that. The only thing is... the ground in the royal palace looks kinda scary...
Look, this is a totally awesome project by Dragoncookie that you should totally visit ROFL

My primary gun is a C3, not just my pump guns, outta my semis and electros too, and I gotta tell ya, I`m very proficient at the instictive guesstimating technique without sights, but with my dialed in C3 (which has sights stock like almost all Tippmanns) I can snipe through the holes in most bunkers and such with 1st round hits like crazy. Thats with most paint I have run through it reguardless of size and brand. I`m not saying it longballs at 100m, but then again, I`m an up close and personal kind of player anyway. If I miss, then I #@$&ed up big time cuz I`m usually close enough to throw the gun and hit you square on. The way I see it, with semi play, instinctive tradjectory shooting and snapshots are the norm, and you can use these techniques with pump play as well, but the sights attached and sighted in before the days play with whatever paint you loaded in can sure help the eliminations come easier....and that`s my two cents, back to Ken with the Weather after the brake!

PHILADELPHIA—Vice President Joe Biden says there's a real sense of urgency from lawmakers and police about enacting gun control measures. gun sales.
Biden was joined Monday at Girard (juh-RAHRD') College by law enforcement officials, U.S. Deputy Attorney General James Cole and Democratic members of Pennsylvania's congressional delegation.
Biden says ideas like universal background checks for gun purchases have widespread support.
The Obama administration is pushing for new gun control measures in the wake of the school shooting in Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 14.
Proposals include a new ban on military-style weapons, a ban on high-capacity magazines carrying more than 10 rounds of ammunition, and background checks for all

Thiis recipe is perfect. I wish I could say I did it exactly but truthfully as long as the items are approximate and made as instructed you will be happy with the results. Today I used a chicken breast instead of the pork and didn't add the water chestnuts. They are perfect fryed and eaten or freeze the leftover filling and make them on another day. Just make sure to drain the filling before assembling so it doesn't make the dougn(wrapper soggy) or make the oil splatter with leaking liquid. You can't freeze raw rolls. The dough will become yucky when thawing. Either freeze the filling by itself or lightly fry the roll and refry it when needed to be crisp.

Just for the record, you cannot freeze uncooked egg rolls, or they will be impossible to fry. But once fried and cooled, they are very easy to reheat.

These are great I have made them many times. I use pulled pork. I like it much better than bulk scrambled pork. I did have trouble with freezing these. As they thawed the wrapper wasn't the same texture it got very sticky. I fried them anyway but the filling was coming out and it ruined the grease. Excellent egg rolls I highly recommend them however for me making ahead and freezing them turned out terribly. Oh well.

My family loved these egg rolls. I used the smaller won ton wrappers because I served them with other hor d'oeurves. I left out the water chestnuts because I don't particularly care for them but other than that I followed the recipe exactly. I'm gonna try to make a batch and freeze them so that I have them on hand for a quick snack.

Implementation of SIT is considered a public service which covers large areas over long periods of time, and requires appropriate regulation. The projects involved necessitate co-operation between government ministries, growers' organizations, and agricultural research & development institutes.
Bio-Fly co-operates with the following parties in implementing SIT projects in Israel:
Ministry of Agriculture's Plant Protection and Inspection Services (PPIS)
The Mediterranean fruit fly is considered a national problem for agriculture in Israel. The Ministry of Agriculture is directly involved in control activities through the PPIS – the body responsible for pest control under the Plant Protection Law.
The Pest Control Committee, appointed by the Minister of Agriculture sets the national program for fly eradication.
In recent years, the Ministry of Agriculture has set as its goal the gradual replacement of chemical pesticides with environmentally-friendly control methods. To combat the Medfly, implementation of an experimental biological control method was initiated, based on the SIT method.
The PPIS is a governmental body that receives technical assistance from the International Atomic Energy Agency for advancement of SIT implementation in Israel. The Israel Cohen Institute for Biological Control – Citrus Board of the Plants Production and Marketing Board
The Institute for Biological Control is the body authorized by the PPIS to implement centralized Medfly control for the citrus branch. Within this framework, the Institute treats about 20,000 hectares of citrus using chemical spraying, mainly by aircraft.
The Institute's fields of activities also include, in addition to chemical fly control, biological control of citrus pests and development of alternative methods for the control of the Medfly.
Bio-Fly and the Institute for Biological Control collaborate on most of the projects currently aimed at suppressing the Medfly population in Israel, as well as in quality assurance processes executed on sterile flies.
Israeli Atomic Energy Commission (IAEC)
One of the goals of The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is the promotion of the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. SIT is a technology that utilizes radioactivity to sterilize insects, which is implemented in extensive regions, and therefore constitutes a platform for collaboration between neighboring countries.
The Israeli Committee for Atomic Energy represents the State of Israel in its contacts with the IAEA and is responsible for providing technical assistance to government bodies in Israel that are engaged in SIT implementation (PPIS).
The Agricultural Extension Service
The Ministry of Agriculture's Extension Service is engaged in providing growers in Israel with training and qualification services, as well as being involved in research and development of new technologies for implementation in the field. Among its other activities, the service encourages and supports the reduction in the use of pesticides, and advances biological control technologies that are environmentally friendly.
Bio-Fly maintains constant collaboration with the service's Plant Protection Branch, responsible for pest control, as well as with other departments in the service responsible for specific projects (Citrus department, Vegetable department, Orchard department, and others).
Arava R&D
Arava produce constitutes about 60% of the fresh vegetables and 15% of the flowers grown in Israel. The Arava Research & Development unit is in charge of agricultural development in the region, including reducing the use of chemical pesticides and finding biological alternatives.
Since 1998, Arava R&D has been operating AMEP - the joint Israel-Jordanian project that has been operating since the signing of the peace agreement with Jordan.
Bio-Fly supplies the project with sterile Medfly pupae.
Northern R&D
Northern Research & Development is the body responsible for the advancement and development of agricultural in Israel's northern region, through development of new technologies and improvement of agricultural produce. One of the goals of Northern R&D is development and implementation of environment-friendly pest control, in response to the growing demand for less toxic fruit and vegetables.
Bio-Fly and Northern R&D have been collaborating in the northern SIT project, and it is within this framework that flies are dispersed to the north-east of the Sea of Galilee, in commercial mango, citrus, pomegranate, apricot and guava orchards.

The other day I had a discussion with a coworker about the beauty of written words within advertisement. We talked over letter combination, word structure, syllables, and even font treatments. It was a lot cooler than it sounds.
We started talking about different commercials and their treatment of written words – one that was shared, not by me, was a Dodge commercial promoting their new Charger:
My friend's point was the way the video led up to the end. The typeface of MAN'S LAST STAND. It was powerful. But you know, I couldn't very well sit through that without the heavy sighs and the "oh wow"s.
Those poor men. Making all of those compromises and over-extending themselves all in the name of…um…I guess a Dodge Charger? Well, whatever makes it worthwhile, fellas.
Knowing me, my wise friend was at the ready to share some response videos from the female perspective. The one below has been the most popular:
So…that was kinda funny. And I admit to some "yeah sister!"s and "mmmhmmm!"s from me while watching this video, but then somewhere around the middle I was like oh…how sad. I mean, maybe it's because I can relate to the women more than the men…but, I don't know – did you see the seething hostility on the faces of these actresses?
Check the earlier video of the men – most of them look bored, or silly, and the script is purposely written in a way so that the observer can smile and relate – even this feminist. Yes, you men make concessions for us. (Slight sarcasm alert:) Thank you for wiping the sink after you shave and for tolerating my mother. But honestly, the car at the end was pretty badass. I felt like there was a glimmer of hope for these sad men – GO! RUN AND BUY A CHARGER!!
The video with the ladies, however…yeesh. The anger was dripping from every word, and daggers were being driven with eyes. It's unfortunate because the message in the words was lost – we women do get paid less than men do for the same work and that shit's unfair. Sometimes we're cheated on, many of us struggle with weight and self-esteem issues, and don't even get me started on the objectification of females. Make no mistake about it, we've got a long way to go – certainly this video is no "last stand".
Worse, at the end there was nothing that the women were standing for. "WOMAN'S LAST STAND" proclaimed the words! But…there was nothing…even the men got a sweet car. Does that mean we stand for nothing? Does that mean this video is it?
God, I hope not. Or else you've just wasted a shit load of time reading this – as much as I've spent writing it.
