- 1.2Of or concerning Egyptian or Greek styles of art adhering to early methods as laid down by religious tradition.Más ejemplos en oraciones

- Whereas Elizabeth is depicted iconically, hieratically, without motion and almost without bodily solidity, Philip is confident enough to appear as a flesh-and-blood human being.
- The various salient features of traditional Maronite Chants prove them to be, after all is said and done, a communal liturgical form of singing, austerely and hieratically monastic in cast, generally calm in character, mderate in tempo, simple in demeanour and straightforward in structure.
Pronunciación: /-ik(ə)lē/
mid 17th century (earlier as hieratical): via Latin from Greek hieratikos, from hierasthai 'be a priest', from hiereus 'priest', hieros 'sacred'.

Great Break Cue
Rank: Banger
The Big Beulah is a well constructed break cue. It features rubber on the butt, which assures your grip. The end result is the transfer of more power throughout the stroke. In addition, the cue is visually appealing garnering lots of compliments from admirers of the sport.
I'm in love with Big Beulah
Rank: Hustler
This is very first break cue and it was love at first sight! The breaks feel so solid without any ounce of uncomfortableness. The wrap makes it so you do not slip when breaking. Another bonus is the jewelry embedded into the butt, which just tells that Big Beulah is fancy =)

Awesome Break Cue!!
Rank: Hustler
Have had my BB2 for just over a year now and I absolutely love it. The majority of my team uses it on league nights and someone is constantly searching for it because someone else used it for their break. This cue has a wonderful grip and is very easy on the arm. My favorite thing about it though is that it hits like a ton of bricks but without too much pop so as to send the cue ball flying off the table. I have used a lot of breaks that will send the cue ball flying with general ease but I almost NEVER send the cue ball off of the table with Beulah and I get a better spread.
( 2 of 2 people found this review helpful.)
A great ball buster
Rank: Rookie
If you're having trouble scattering balls on the break then the Beulah 2 is the cue to invest in.
Rock hard maple shaft coupled w/ a carbon fiber ferrule and laminated tip gives you a solid
hit on the break game after game that a champion would envy! Rack 'em and Crack 'em.

Recent Episodes for From the Edge of the Circle
Episode 114: Sometimes Real Life Gets in the Way
For today's episode, VG Lovecraft provides his perspective on Pagan Leadership from an earlier episode. I also talk about how my diabetes has affected my real life and my daily Spiritual walk. Featured music is "Moonset and Sunrise" by Wendy Rule from her incredible album "Guided by Venus". http://www.wendyrule.com Email: [email protected] Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/From-the-Edge-of-the-Circ le/116817775667 Blogspot: http://edgeofcircle.blogspot.com/ Skype: tomyelf22 GoogleTalk: [email protected] --- Balancing Between Worlds -- http://balancingbetweenworlds.blogspot.com/
Episode 113: Pass the BBQ Sauce Please!
Well, I get to eat a little crow on this episode on the topic of Pagan Leadership. This came about from a discussion that I was having with John Beckett and David Pollard (CUUPS Podcast) at the North Texas Pagan Pride Day on the aspect of Pagan community and Leadership. So, since I'm chewing down some cooked crow, I figured I'd ask for some BBQ sauce to help it go down. :) Plus, I discuss a bit of the fun at the event, where I got to hang out with the aforementioned individuals, as well as Ren and Rose from Shhh! There Are Pagans in Texas! podcast. And believe me folks...these two ladies are a lot of fun in their show, and in person! I haven't laughed and cut-up that much in several months! We'll be back to the regular format, complete with music, spoken word segments, and listener feedback with Episode 114. B*B --TommyPodcastsShhh!

Episode 112: Going Forward on Pagan Leadership
With the recent passing of Isaac Bonewits, I thought it would be an appropriate time to explore a listener question that has been in the Email queue for close to seven weeks: "What do you think of the aging (and passing on) of the current Pagan leadership?" The question has always been one I have been reticent to tackle, especially since I don't view myself as being any form of "leader" within the community - despite the commentary I've gotten from listeners over the last four-and-a-half years. This podcast addresses some of my reluctance to view myself in that particular light, and some of my own perspective on the direction I think that can be applied to Pagan Leadership going forward.

Episode 110: Thoughts on the Concepts of Community
Let's talk about community again -- except let's widen it out to a larger perspective. Inspired by some of the commentary in DruidCast Episode 40, I thought I would take a step back to the beginnings of this podcast and explore some of the conceptual aspects of community. Also for those of you in or near the DFW area, remember that the North Texas Pagan Pride Day is coming up (www.dfwppd.org) - and I plan to be there in whatever capacity...as a volunteer or just as a guest roaming around. Looking forward to seeing a lot of other folks out there in the heat on 9/11/2010.Email: [email protected] of the websites that I talk about in the show include:North Texas Pagan Pride Day -- 9/11/2010 -- http://www.dfwppd.orgWitches Voice -- http://www.witchvox.comThe Wild Hunt -- http://www.wildhunt.org/blogDruidCast -- http://druidcast.libsyn.orgPagan Space -- http://paganspace.netShhh!

Joined: 7/13/10 I want an mmorpg where pvp matters, my enemies are not my race or class, and community matters. |
Originally posted by QuicklyScott Signed, however, WoW 2 is not allowed by the Federal Trade Commission. You see, it has been realized that if WoW 2 is released, that every other crappy mmorpg developer will be without a job, and that's unfair trade practices under the same laws that regulate conglomerates. In other words, you can't have just one giant fish in the sea because it eats everything else, especially the smaller fish. Hence, no WoW 2. |
Originally posted by Sheepduck I just hope that Blizzard learns from all the mistakes of others and themselves as well. People keep forgetting the reason so many go play other games is because they are truly tired of the WoW formula.. WoW was a perferct storm for a new genre of players.. It won't be repeated again.. Atleast I hope not.. I and thousands of others, if not millions are DONE with WoW, why would we want WoW 2? |
Originally posted by MMOExposed I have always advocated that if WoW would make a special server with 3 changes.. I'd come back to play.. These changes are in general terms.. 1) make mobs harder so that they can't be solo'd 99% of the time.. and change the agro so that you don't LOSE agro if you only run away 20 yards.. 2) allow mentoring, so that you never outlevel any zone.. or friends.. 3) change raiding to much harder boss, but remove the cap limits.. |
What we need is for people to realize that if it wasn't for the fact people have attachment for wow from way back when, it wouldn't be so popular. Look at games like Runescape or Everquest 1 as an example. Despite their age they are still rather popular. The biggest factor that has left then going strong is people had spent good deal of time at them. WoW fits just perfectly in a niche where MMOs were starting to get big. Lets be honest, if WoW was released in its original state it was in today, it would be considered pretty much a massive flop like SWTOR. The thing that has allowed it to stay at top and develop was having such an incredibly tiny amount of competition compared to today with the added benefit it was blizzard doing the game. There are plenty of games being released that are great, its just peoples expections have grown so crazy that its virtually impossible to ever please them. You can give someone 20 Carrot gold and they would likely thow it back at you and yell they wanted 24 Carrot without even giving it a chance. MMos like WoW are considered valuable to us because its like a heirloom, something so valuable to the player because its been in your life for so long. |
Originally posted by Corehaven Actually I said vanilla WoW and those devs are all working on Project Titan, maybe you should do your homework b4 you bash people. Makes you look really bad. |
Originally posted by solarine Quit messing with my mind I'd go with a world of porncraft 2 though |
Originally posted by FredomSekerZ No offense, I love Tera personally and think it deserves much more success, but I've showed the game to many friends both gamer and non-gamer and 90% of them thought the Elin were basically sexualised little girls, and found it not offensive exactly, more "in poor taste". Most of them laughed. The ones with daughters didn't. I get anime, I've watched a fair few over the last 2 decades and know a fair bit about Asian cultures. I know the difference between kawaii and lolicon. I know that in Japan specifically, attraction to pre-teen girls is a common proclivity, and despite pedophilia being illegal, enforcement is poor and underage sexualisation is rampant. Say what you will about the Elin being a "non-sexual fairy nature species" or whatever - it's basically hentai children. I think they should have just removed that race from the character selector, then Tera would have had a better shot in the west. There are other issues with the game, but even if all of those were all solved a pedophile-friendly character choice makes mass market success impossible for Tera, no matter what the minority of anime aficionados think. |
Originally posted by ShakyMo wait EQ2 and LOTRO are WoW sequels? 1) EQ2 came out before WoW 2) LoTRO is modeled after AC3 which was changed into Middle Earth Online, which we know as LoTRO, all ages before WoW became popular. |
To me... the WoW of today is already like WoW 2 compared to what it was at release. I never want a WoW sequel. Any changes that they'd do in WoW 2 can be done through expansions. |

Originally posted by Epicent Wasnt trying to bash you. Sorry if it came across that way. Just trying to make a point. I dont think you are stupid person or anything like that. I dont really know you. Regardless, maybe Titan will suffice. If Blizzard were to make a new mmo, Id actually prefer they shy away from the swords and fantasy stuff a bit. The industry is flooded with that stuff. Sometimes, just the premise or setting of a game can pull people in. Players are desperately wanting more space type mmorpgs, and there's not too many of those really. There's also a whole host of other world types and settings the industry has barely touched on or not at all. Like an old west mmorpg, there's some apocalyptic ones, there's one vampire themed one being made, various historical mmos. There's just a whole host of other universe types that are just waiting to be made into a game. I have a feeling Titan may not be a swords and elves type game. Thats probably wise. |
Originally posted by newbinator not really. Some things are deeply programmed into the game. remember the issue Blizzard had with simply changing the backpack size? |
I need <3, cheap plz. |
Originally posted by Alders WHAT a smart remark... +10000 for you.. Person don't seem, to get that Blizz is in no rush release a product that might kill its own product... They say WoW might go FTP in the future, that future i think is when there other MMO launches.. Have the TOP FTP game and maybe capture those same WoW player base with another P2P MMO, and let them coexist... |
Originally posted by Hyanmen Oh I agree graphics do matter.. but in this generation, it's all about flexibility to be able to play on affordable machines. What Im saying is that Blizzard make it playble for everyone.. unlike some other companies don't. The higher demands they put on rigs, the less playablity they'll get. Just an observation. |
WoW 2 would probably do well. I'd never play it, though. My trouble with WoW was not the gameplay or graphics; it was the lore and environment. I personally dislike steampunk, and to make it worse WoW had a ton of immersion-breaking elements purposefully mixed in. So, if a f-ing motorcycle in a fantasy-medieval game wasn't dumb enough, they had "PWNED" license plates or "BLIZZ" flags on them. |
Originally posted by Epicent No thanks I think wow helped kill MMORPGs.. My 3D models |
Why would we need a WoW 2? community was terrible in Wow and the gearbased treadmill is a big nono in my opinion. Hate it when they do something like that... No need for another ugly behemoth to mess up another decade of mmorpgs that all aim for being the "best clone". A monopoly in a market always destroys the market :( "Isn't a raid plundering villages in WoW or something like that?" - Robert Desable |

Joined: 8/11/10 If the reality ain't shared, it ain't an MMORPG. |
Originally posted by Epicent Agreed, but a WOW 2 based upon earlier WOW design principles (i.e., quest hubs you can hit in any order (within your level to accomplish), rather than linear phased, bread-crumb trail quest hubbing). Present WOW is too streamlined, too simplified, too on-rails. They need to ditch the forced storyline and bring badk Azeroth, a world to explore. |
What we need is for fewer mmorpgs. Let the crap ones die and have only 5 survive. |
I wholeheartedly agree with the statement. Quite frankly, even though I had dabbled in some MMOs before, such as City of Heroes, WoW was my first proper MMO because it felt like a *world* that I wanted to explore and loved being in. To be honest, it was just an exceptional game and if Blizzard could make WoW in 2004, Imagine what they could do today...... |

Reading Questions for
The Solitude of Prime Numbers
Courtesy of Pamela Dorman/Viking Books
Oprah.com | From the April 2010 issue of
O, The Oprah Magazine
Warning: May contain spoilers
1. What pleasure or power do Mattia and Alice get from harming their bodies? Think about the moments in the novel when these acts occur. Do you think they are in response to something and, if so, what?
2. There is a brief moment at Viola's party where Alice and Mattia walk together and their respective scars seem to melt into one another and disappear. How? In what other ways are Mattia and Alice complementary?
3. Examine the relationship between Alice and Viola. Based on Alice's feelings toward Viola and Viola's treatment of Alice, what do you think about Alice's actions when they meet later in life?
4. What is it about adolescence that makes people so cruel? What was your own adolescence like? Did Mattia and Alice's experience with their peers echo your own in any way?
5. Where are the parents in this novel? What presence or power do they assert? Why?
6. Was Mattia's action with his sister understandable? Was he aware of the possible consequences or not? Should children be held accountable when their actions have such severe consequences?
7. One of Alice's few pleasures in life is photography, an art that consists of capturing a moment and presenting it according to one's own perspective. Why is this pursuit appropriate for Alice?
8. Mattia believes that "feeling special is the worst kind of cage that a person can build." What do you think he means by this?
9. Do you think Alice really sees Michela in the hospital or was she hallucinating? Why?
10. Examine the last paragraph of the novel. What is being said here? What happens to Alice? What happens to Mattia?

The Personal Counselor is responsible for providing direct services to students. These services include:
Bobbi Meister, LISW, is an independently licensed clinical social worker. Mrs. Meister has been working as a mental health clinician in the Siouxland area since 2004. She joined the Morningside College team in the spring of 2013. A part-time counselor may also be available.
College can be exciting, challenging, and at times, stressful and overwhelming. It is common for college students to encounter situations or problems that may interfere with their academic progress and success. Personal Counseling at Morningside College provides students an opportunity to explore their thoughts and feelings with an objective person in a safe, confidential setting built on trust and mutual respect. Counseling can help you gain insight, knowledge, and new skills so you are more able to manage your current struggles, as well as be more prepared to take on life's challenges as they arise in the future. The focus of Personal Counseling is on acknowledging individual worth and personal growth and development.
All students currently enrolled in 9 or more credit hours at Morningside College are eligible to receive services from Personal Counseling Services. Part-time students currently enrolled in fewer than 9 credits are eligible to receive a one-time consultation appointment and referrals. The presence of individuals (e.g., spouses, parents, friends, etc.) other than the identified client in counseling sessions will be permitted only for the exclusive purpose of providing necessary therapeutic support to or information about the client. Students who are under 18 may be requested to obtain the written permission of a parent or guardian to receive counseling. Such students may be seen for an initial consultation appointment without written parental release.
There is no fee to see the Personal Counselor. That's right—it's free. Services are voluntary, confidential, and available when classes are in session during the academic year (August through May).
The Personal Counseling Service's policy regarding the confidentiality of its services is based on applicable laws and ethical standards. Personal Counselors are governed by the legal and ethical codes pursuant to their licensure standards. These standards emphasize the critical nature of the principle of confidentiality to effective counseling services. We are dedicated to maintain scrupulous observance of the confidentiality of our clientele. Our primary obligation and responsibility is to our clients, and the interests of other students, faculty, staff, family, outside agencies, and other parties are considered secondary. Thus, the general policy is that no information, verbal or written, including whether or not a particular student is a client of Personal Counseling Services, will be released without the specific and written permission of the client.
However, there are exceptions. If there is concern that an individual may pose a serious threat of harm to himself/herself or others, confidentiality may not be preserved pursuant to applicable state laws in an effort to protect that student or members of the community. In addition, if a counselor becomes aware of any abuse committed against a minor or elder person, the counselor is mandated by law to report that abuse to appropriate authorities. Finally, in rare occasions, if Personal Counseling records are asked for release by court ordered subpoena, confidentiality may be broken. It should be noted that the situations listed above happen very rarely.
Morningside students may utilize the services of the Personal Counselor for varied personal reasons. Some examples include (but are not limited to):
The focus of Personal Counseling at Morningside is on helping students with personal issues. If your concerns are academic rather than personal, you may wish to contact Student Services at x5104 or your academic advisor.
Stop by Mrs. Meister's office in Student Services, located on the second floor of Lewis Hall, Room 219. You may also contact Mrs. Meister to schedule an appointment by calling x5606 or by emailing your appointment request to email@example.com. Please be advised that email is not a completely secure or confidential means of communication and greater privacy can be provided when you speak directly with Mrs. Meister via the telephone or in person. During busy times of the year, there may be a wait of several days before an initial appointment can be made. However, if something is urgent, please contact Mrs. Meister immediately and she will arrange to see you or assist in getting you connected with appropriate community resources that can help you manage the crisis or emergency.
Monday through Friday 8 am-5 pm 219 Lewis Hall
