Empire Online out in US (FREE Turn-based MMORPG)
Last edited by zxelman; 01-15-2011 at 01:44 PM.. |
Empire Online has launched!
The iOS is known for lacking decent MMORPGs, and Lakoo is here to deliever
Empire Online is the largest iPhone MMORPG. A massive, classic MMORPG that is free in the iOS! "The Lakoo team has been anxiously awaiting Empire Online's expansion into the North American market," said Kin Ko, CEO of Lakoo. "We can't wait to give English-language players the keys to the kingdom. You won't believe how many MMO elements we can fit on a smartphone." Game Features: - Turn-based battles: Classic RPG style, where strategy is heavily relied to win. - Empire system: Players can manage their own empires by constructing buildings and joining forces with other players. - Mixed class: There are four races in the game with five different classes. Players can equip or learn skills in a criss-cross manner, there is no limit in terms of character building. - Character customization: Players can change appearances with different equipment to show their fashion senses. Youtube link | Pop Up Download now! Lakoo |
Hooked on this since this morning. The turnbased gameplay really suits an iPhone mmo and the combat definitely shows scope for quite tactical play. The zones are varied, the quests relatively intriguing (though ultimately your standard mmorpg fare) and the world in general lush and captivating (some lovely art). Definitely an advocate for portrait orientation and tap to move too.
If anyone else is playing, add me (currently 12 archer): 'O' |
Game Impressions
First time I made a thread like this. Since no one bothered to put this on the released iPhone/iPod Touch games board, I wanted to volunteer. If you think I should change the way my post or title is a bit, go ahead and suggest.
Game Impressions: I played this for a bit last night when it was released and it's quite different than what I was used to when it comes to playing MMORPGs. You have 4 races and 5 classes to choose from, each having 4 of their own styles and genders each. Each race can't have access to all the classes available, so to play a certain class, you need to be a certain race. They are: (Race - Classes) Eastland - Warrior, Kung-Fu Fighter Nordic - Warrior, Wizard Atlantis - Hunter Maya - Shaman So you have technically five classes to choose from. You can have up to 4 character slots per server line (there's only one server line at the moment) on each account. After choosing your class, you are set into your own class-specific "Beginner land" for you to learn specifically about your class as well as how to play. You move by tapping simply where you want to go. First thing you may notice is that you play the game in potrait mode (iDevice facing in vertical position). It's different playing an MMO on a iDevice this way but it suits the game very well and it gives a very nice casual feel. There are no virtual joysticks and you access everything by touching it. It works so well that it gives such a nice appeal to ANY kind of player. With that, all buttons are responsive the way they should be. Just awesome. One thing worthy to note, if you want to know about a human player nearby and see all their equipment, a couple of details about their status, or if you can invite them to your party/empire or PM, you do NOT tap on them. Instead you tap on the search icon at the bottom of your screen and select from a list of players at your current area. A little weird, but this isn't too much of a problem. In fact it prevents clutter on the screen or accidental tapping that can lead to fustration seeing player menus open up when you are trying to move. Now on to battle. You just pick your move and wait for everyone else on the battlefield to choose as well, course there is a 30-second time limit for you to pick your move (60 on first turn) so the game can get moving. After that, each player's and/or monster's turn is performed in the order determined by their speed stat. Battling is quite fun with other people on your side, especially when the battles get interesting. It's possible to heal other players with your healing items or spells. It may be possible to buff people too if there is a skill out of 1000 that does that, but I'm not entirely sure. I suggest playing this game with a friend or someone on TA to stick with to get full enjoyment out of this. One weird thing is that people are able to join your party and immediately have you become the leader of it. You can change this in the in-game settings and have the option set to manual so they can't join you without your consent. The other thing is that when you join someone's party, you are forced to follow them. Since the game can allow parties up to 20 people, it would be troublesome to keep them all nearby, but I wish for an option that will let you roam by yourself, but that would require more technical coding as you might run into different monsters. It's not a big deal, but could be somehow improved. The game lags a little when you are following the leader though, but battles appear on-time which is usually all that matters. You can chat in multiple channels such as to everyone in the server, people in your empire, party, area, and to just 1 person. You are also able chat within battle, but type quick so you don't run out of time. There are optional in-app purchases that allow you to purchase silver. These help get you slightly better items for your level as well as reach beyond a certain level in your skills. In other words, they can help a lot but they don't limit gameplay. Pros: The menus are polished, the game is stable, I love playing in potrait mode, no lag on my 2nd gen iTouch, the battles get more and more interesting, and I can't wait to try out a massive PvP battle. Cons: There's not that much bad things I can think about besides the grammar of some NPCs. They were worse in the beta but it could be a bit better. Also, there are a few Koreans that chat and play in this server, but it's not much of a problem. And there are a few things that could polish the game like where you are on the map. Not to mention, this game is probably a grinder's heaven. It may take awhile to level up later on, but on the bright side it's not as mind-numbing as The World of Magic since this is strategy. Overall, 4 out of 5 from me. Great game that could use just a little more work on but has already shown enough polish and decent gameplay to become a nice, big game. It's free so I suggest trying it out if you like turn-based games or MMOs. Last edited by zxelman; 01-15-2011 at 03:23 PM.. |
about time =P
Beta tested this a while back. If they fix up some of the localization issues and bring a server over here in the States, this could be solid. It's a level or 2 above other mmorpg's on the device imo (Alot better than IMO). |
yeah me too.GET IT
Briefly played the beginning tutorial section. It's not bad. Seems like there are plenty of quests so you wont be left grinding for long periods. The in app purchases dont seem to be so awesome that you must shell out a ton of money. No retina display but did you really expect it? Controls work well and is responsive.
I probably should have waited a little bit before making a topic on this. I made a topic before this but I don't know if I should have. Should I post my game impressions from the other topic here?
got it this morning and its interesting I just have to get into it more
If you guys think this isn't an IAP fest you are gravely mistaken. There are quest that actually require the Online store purchases which take IAP money packets to obtain. On top of that, you can greatly influence the leveling / gear of your character through IAP and even get some PVP perks.
This game is really fun and well polished but the way the IAP are presented are totally bias towards people who are willing to spend the money. Giving an pretty big leverage over those that don't. |

Check out http://www.kratomsideeffects.net to learn more about kratom and it's side effects
At first glance, the dark green leaves of the Mitragyna speciosa tree look no more remarkable than mint leaves. They're large, somewhat oval in shape, and smooth to the touch. The trees are indigenous to Southeast Asia, and their leaves, known as kratom, have been used as a traditional medicine in Thailand and Asian countries for centuries. Kratom made its way to the United States as an herbal medicine decades ago but has become something else in the past few years: the latest popular consumable in the "legal drug" market of the United States.
Unlike previous hot products at head shops, like spice and "bath salts" (which contain synthetic compounds made in labs), kratom is completely organic. It has its share of proponents, who espouse its supposed medicinal benefits, and opponents who say it's a dangerous drug. Kratom is currently legal to buy and sell in the states and won't show up on standard drug tests.
Kratom is sold as raw or crushed leaves that can be smoked or steeped for tea, and also in gel caps. Potencies and strains vary, as do prices (generally $15 to $50 per five-gram packet, or $18 to $25 for about 50 capsules). Doses generally range from two to 10 grams. It's widely available online through sites like thekratomking.com, kratom.pro, Phoenix-based site kratommarket.com, and at various head shops around the Valley and United States.
Though it is currently uncontrolled in the states, kratom has been banned in Bhutan, Australia, Finland, Denmark, Poland, Lithuania, Malaysia, Myanmar (Burma), and Thailand, where it is reportedly the third most popular drug, behind meth and marijuana.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's Office of Diversion Control lists kratom as a "Drug and Chemical of Concern" and says there's no legitimate medical use for kratom in the United States. A DEA report issued in December 2010 says pharmacology studies show that kratom has "opioid-like activity in animals," reducing pain, producing "sedative and euphoric effects," and a host of side effects including nausea, constipation, loss of appetite, and even "psychotic symptoms" in "kratom addicts," including "hallucinations, delusion, and confusion."
Dr. Frank LoVecchio, co-medical director of the Banner Good Samaritan Poison & Drug Information Center based here in Arizona, says he's treated five patients who used kratom and hasn't seen any terrible side effects.
"For every one or two patients I see that come in, there are probably dozens who do it and don't get into trouble," LoVecchio says. "In the few cases I've seen, it doesn't cause crazy symptoms. People get a little sleepy. I'm not sure what would happen if somebody OD'd." (To date, there's never been a reported fatal overdose of kratom.)
So far, there have been only a handful of scientific studies on kratom's effects on mammals. What is known is that there are more than 25 naturally occurring alkaloids in kratom leaves, and the two believed to be most active on opium receptors in the human brain are mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine. A study by Doctor K.L.R. Jansen and Professor C.J. Prast, published in 1988 in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, reports that kratom showed opiate-like effects (such as analgesia and cough suppression) in animals. These effects were confirmed by recent research at the Universiti Sains Malaysia and the December 2010 report published by the DEA.
Though these alkaloids act on opiate receptors, the chemical structure of mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine in kratom are different from the structure of morphine, which is the most abundant alkaloid in opium. Kratom alkaloids will not cause a false-positive drug test for opiates, according to LoVecchio, provided the kratom used was pure. And as with any unregulated product, that's no guarantee. "I'd be curious if the stuff they're selling on the Internet is actually kratom or crushed-up Percocet or something," he says.
LoVecchio says pure kratom "will be missed on drugs of abuse screen, but . . . we can find this on a urine comprehensive drug screen." But such tests are not always performed, LoVecchio adds, because they're so expensive.
In addition to the risk of buying contaminated kratom products, there's also the matter of potential addiction. A 2004 study on the tolerance and withdrawal effects of kratom in mice conducted jointly by the Josai International University in Japan and Chulalongkorn University in Thailand concluded that tolerance to 7-hydroxymitragynine developed "as occurs to morphine," and there was evidence of cross-tolerance to morphine, as well. Withdrawal symptoms also were observed.
LoVecchio says that two of the kratom users he's treated (both younger men) "said they really wanted to get back on it. The withdrawal is described as similar to opiate withdrawal."
Withdrawal from opiate addiction can be rough, says Lloyd Vacovsky, founder and director of Assisted Recovery Centers of America, who's been treating opiate addicts for more than 15 years. "The detox is what keeps most people addicted," he says, speaking from his Phoenix area office. "The withdrawal with opiates is nasty — it can take two weeks. One minute, you've got diarrhea. The next minute, you're vomiting, and then you've got chills. People crave the opiates, 'just once, to feel normal.' The fear of withdrawal and not feeling normal supersedes the fear of having to go through detox all over again."
Because chemicals in kratom act on opiate receptors in the brain, it has sometimes been used to treat opium dependence. But Vacovsky doesn't see kratom as a viable part of addiction treatment.
He says part of effectively treating opium addiction requires medications that act as "antagonists" (blocking agents) to the opium receptors. The alkaloids in kratom are agonists, which mean they stimulate those receptors.
"You cannot tell me there's any science behind [using kratom to treat opiate addiction]," Vacovsky says. "It's just a substitute. You take it, it releases endorphins, and you feel fine. But then you're addicted to the kratom."
Some users disagree, particularly those at the Kratom Association, a national advocacy network that seeks to preserve the legal status of the herb. One member and moderator for the group, Nathan Wren, told New Times he used kratom daily for months after shattering his femur in a car accident and experienced no withdrawal symptoms when he suddenly stopped. He says he believes "addiction to kratom is purely psychological," and, "If there are any symptoms, it's like how you might feel if one were to take coffee away from you for a time."
Most of the Kratom Association members, Wren says, are people in their 40s to 60s who use kratom for depression and pain management. "Kratom has been a godsend for folks who can't afford healthcare or don't want to be addicted to pain meds," he says. "It's not for a good time."
Shawn Schuman, 24, is a kratom advocate in Pennsylvania. Like many other users, he says he began taking kratom to overcome an addiction to painkillers. "There is no real 'high' to be had," Schuman says. "There is a definite mood elevation, but it does not resemble the high achieved with traditional recreational substances."
But kratom is being marketed and sold as a "legal high" and unregulated novelty drug. And this has already got the attention of the DEA. Ramona Sanchez, spokeswoman for the DEA's Phoenix division, says she thinks kratom could fall under the Federal Analog Act. The act allows substances that are "substantially similar" to controlled substances to be treated the same as the controlled substance.
Sanchez also says that because kratom is not considered a federally controlled substance, any data the DEA has is anecdotal. But she emphasizes that kratom "is nowhere near being good for you. Even though it is not a controlled substance, we would not recommend anybody taking this . . . It is not good at all."

Really enjoyed the article - you did a great job of giving some
objective information from both sides while backing it up with
information from real users. Certainly it's something that the Kratom
industry should be worried about that anyone is calling the Poison
Center after taking this herb. We can't really judge the legitimacy of
these calls, but it's certainly bad both from a health standpoint as
well as a PR standpoint.
One major problem that the industry
faces right now is a lack of standardization in terms of doses and usage
instructions. One company might sell a regular strength powder where
you would need to take 8 or more capsules to see the results. Another
might sell a high strength extract where one should not take more than
one or two capsules or else they will start to see side effects.
issue is that since the FDA does now allow these products to be
packaged and labelled for human consumption, vendors cannot include a
"Suggested Dosage" on the label. That is likely contributing to some
people taking too much out of a lack of knowledge. In this instance, it
really does seem that FDA rules are getting in the way of healthy and
safe usage rather than promoting or supporting it.

me, offering to you, to buy Kratom from Indonesia (Borneo)
If you are interested please send an e-mail to me ...
so it has less side effects than the meds I see peddled on TV everyday, but those are "safe" ?
I agree with one of the people on the board, companies like kratomphoenix.com are doing us a favor trying to help people get off those damn things if you know what I mean. Thanks guys, Kratom is harmless, and is a better alternative to any other meds.
Im not sure if my last message made it, but I was saying places like kratomphoenix.com a local kratom company in phoenix is doing the public a favor. Getting people to go natural instead of these stupid pharma companies.
there's no legitimate medical use for kratom in the United States.???? BULLL SHIT!@ i stoped reading there this is complete crap. If the Fucking retarded DEA would quit cracking down because theres a few stupid fucks out there that abuse things let em, let em kill themselves, Then people who have say fibromyalgia and a hypsersensativity to pain and Nothing to control pain because of it might be able to get something from these new retarded doctors.
Running fast and loose with "facts" for an article can hurt a lot of people. We learned that in 1935 when scientists already knew that marijuana was not only safe when used responsibly, it was by far more effective and safe for medicinal purposes than anything Big Pharma had planned for us.
But big pharma needed time (to isolate the active alkoliods) so the government helped finance a film "Reefer Madness" in which this herb (clearly called a drug) was heralded as not only dangerous but turning people into serial killers etc.
With all respect to Yogi Berra, its "Deja Vu All Over Again". Big pharma knows there are two alkaloids in the herb (not drug but herb) Kratom, and they do not like the fact that consumers are getting it cheaply and they are not getting a cut.
It works. There is no high, at least not for me, but I take it as is suggested. For people expecting a high, you'll be disappointed. Some have reported a high but it is at a very high dosage. I don't "go there". I use it for chronic pain, in which strong meds were prescribed that nearly killed me.
Kratom is in the coffee family. Of COURSE its "habit-forming". So do we now close all the Starbucks?
Why don't we leave kratom alone. It works. It's a perfect analgesic in that it does not cause any "drug-like" effects, nobody has ever overdosed on it, and there has not been one report of death in 1000 years on it (unless mixed with drugs). Can you say that about hydrocodone? Tramadol? Oxycodone? I don't think so. And it works almost as well; and you don't have to take more and more and more to get the same results.
Of COURSE the govt is going to go after it. After all, look how many it has gotten off of drugs. They are living a normal life now, and their chronic pain is gone.
Should it be restricted to adults only? My opinion is yes, but I don't make the laws. I only think so because more kids are likely to over-use it; but think how many adults do that as well. There are thousands of herbs on the market more dangerous than kratom. But kratom, like marijuana, have unique healing powers.
Stay out of this one Big Pharma. You ruined too many people's life with your marijuana ban for a century. And now you are trying the same with kratom.
And by the way, I don't smoke pot. No tobacco, and I don't drink. I'm an "average joe" executive in a mid-size town. I have no criminal record nor do I plan one.
Chances are though, with the pain I was enduring, and all the drugs I was having to take for it, that might not have been the case in time.
So thanks to kratom, a lot of very positive things happened in my life. But don't believe me. You could ask my loving wife or any of my friends. They are quite relieved as am I that the pain is gone.
DO NOT TAKE THIS AWAY. We will fight it like NORML fought marijuana. You can have your pain drugs, your heroin, your morphine, etc etc etc.
Oh, and there are no hallucinations....well maybe one....for a moment, I thought I was reading a fair/balanced article that had not bought into the "Kratom Madness" but just another two bit journalistic piece who lumps it in with chemicals like spice etc.
Kratom is grown 100% organically and is a plant. If you have any faith in God, you have to believe, if He is a good God, he would not throw us onto a strange planet, enable us to get diseased, in pain, etc, and not provide natural healing.
I still believe in doctors for various ailments. For instance I have heart disease and I wouldn't miss my Crestor or bp meds or cardiologist appointment for anything. I know my mortality.
He is thrilled I'm off the pain meds and on kratom. I'm now mountain climbing/hiking at age 59. Before kratom, I could barely walk across the room.
So think twice before writing about something of which you truly no nothing about except what you've seen written. When used responsibly it is not only harmless, it is beneficial, a very strong antioxidant that boosts the immune system.
Sorry they let you loose with a laptop to write trash that is as useless as the journalists did who jumped on the "Reefer Madness" bandwagon.
I have been on Oxycontin for years to manage the pain in my back from a car accident. The pain never really goes away it simply dulls down a bit. After I decided I did not want to be taking pain killers anymore I tried Kratom. The pain pretty much non existent and on top of that I have no issues with constipation or just plain terrible withdraws when I miss a dose. I am happy with it thus far.
Kratom saved my life. My hips are completely bolted together along with my pelvis from a terrible motorcycle accident. I have been using kratom daily for a very long time. I also am the CEO of Mayan Kratom and have become the poster boy for kratom in the US. If anybody wants to learn the truth about kratom to to my website and watch all my youtube videos. www.mayankratom.com
Kratom is unfortunately marketed alongside dangerous and neurotoxic synthetic chemicals, thus leading to hysterical news stories touting the dangers of kratom with no factual basis in reality.
This article is a b rated comedy at best, whoever wrote this is ether naive and uneducated or has a alternative agenda. Kratom is a wonderful plant. Humans are so misled at this time in history. Educated yourself and turn off that god damn TV!
Sinister, eh? That's kind of a strong word for a plant.
I'm starting to wonder if people who write stories like these are compensated by the government/big pharma. I've read more than one obviously biased story about more than one sinister or insidious material recently.
Obviously some legal highs are dangerous. More people die from alcohol every year than I can even count. And smoking? Well, at least there are some safer alternatives now for those of us who like nicotine.
An excess of just about everything will hurt or kill a person. And addiction is relative - I know many people who can not think straight in the morning until the have had their 1,3,7-trimethyl-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione 3,7-dihydro-1,3,7-trimethyl-1H-purine-2,6-dione (or caffeine).
People are going to get high no matter the legal status of anything. And they should be able to if they want. If anything, the government should make it easier to get safe-ish drugs. Not harder.
Also, I don't know what planet Dr. Frank LoVecchio resides on, but on the rock I'm from, crushed up percocet is a little more expensive than powdered plant leaves. It looks a little different, too.
That man is a doctor? Wow. I should have gone to medical school.
Interesting that they feel like they need to provide statements that are based on absolutely no scientific proof. Sanchez says "It is not good at all." That is pure ignorance. I have taken Kratom hundreds of times without any negative consequences. Maybe the writer should have done some researcher and find out if there was anyone that takes Kratom and experiences positive benefits. A couple people took too much and now it is a huge concern. A couple people drink too much Coffee and wind up in the hospital but we aren't making a big deal about that.
The DEA would outlaw anything that was marketed to "get someone high." If tomatoes could do it, they'd outlaw those. If it was peaches, they'd outlaw those. Doesn't matter to them. They're just there to squash anything that could help someone feel better. If the pharma isn't involved in it, they make it illegal, because they don't have their fingers in the money pile.
Man,if this stuff really helps people out who are fighting the battle of their lives.Ten why dont moe of us know? If it really woks it's worth its weight in gold. I would like to her more from people who used it and and had help. as far as iam concerned it works or it dont!!!! take a opiate and Bamm 20 mins later they work.These products here say the work ? ya mean take this and 20 mins later you are on your way with no withdraws? I would love to find a product that would cut these CHAINS !!!!
Well,it is just a matter of time before they make it 'American's newest drug scourge'.There are only a few countries where it is illegal.Thailand is one.For the simple reason that people use it to get off heroin/opium and that cuts into the governments monopoly and thier illegal profits.So sad,but expected
This is yet another instance of the DEA and federal government trying to justify their existence.They need to have an enemy,so they pick on God-given,harmless plants to scare the citizens into thinking that every plant is the new crack or meth.This is utterly ludicrous and anyone who believes this crap without doing their own research deserves to be forced to take dangerous,expensive prescription meds.Do your own due diligence people.The government LIES to you on a regular basis.Do not accept it
PS: By the way nearly 60 years later Big Pharma did finally isolate the alkaloids of marijuana and made a pill "Marinol" which has a high TCH level. It was a total failure and does nothing for chemo patients. And you know when/if they get ahold of kratom, we can and should expect the same. God made the plants as they are for a reason. Not to be destroyed and for profit-greed-gain.
@drkratom i would go with a local company like kratomphoenix.com They are local company based out in Phoenix
Of course u gonna brag about Ur products Mr CEO of the company. If there's no bad side effects, then have Ur products tested and to be sold in major stores instead of those small local stores that u and Ur kind Target.
@cinimodblue I have taken it. 6 grams at most at a time, (in one day,) because high doses have higher effects. It is an expensive drug to use, also----and the effects it has on you are not anything like the "hallucination inducing or altered mental state" drugs that other drugs are like. It might relieve pain, but I only took it, as some say, to feel more "normal." It does give added focus, but it really depends on the person, I think, as to what type of effect it has on them. The first time I took, it made me slightly nauseous about 4 hours afterwards, but it only lasted about 5 minutes and went away. You can take Echinacea on an empty stomach and puke your guts out---but it's sold at where else? Drug stores. Pharma. As usual. More processing equals more chances for foreign matter to be ingested into the body unintentionally. How is the NECC doing these days, anyway? Have they been shut down yet? People's blood are on their hands now. I hope they can live with that.
Kratom can be addictive---that is one of the more serious drawbacks to it. I have only taken it 3 or 4 times---don't have an intense desire to grab ahold of it, so guess it is better to stop before the usage, dosage, or addictive nature of it spikes like mad. At this point, I can do with it or without it.
It's okay, but there's other natural stuff out there that has much more positive effects on the brain and the body...I think you can guess what that might be.
@dissident2112 "The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's Office of Diversion Control lists kratom as a "Drug and Chemical of Concern" and says there's no legitimate medical use for kratom in the United States."This is the biggest load of BULL**** I have ever heard. I am a 25 year old chronic pain sufferer (since i was 5) and all the doctors ever want to do is throw NARCOITICS at me. The insurance companies refuse to my doctor to fix the problem (outpatient surgery). After three straight years on 5 tramadol a day and a lortab and valium for bed I have lost all want to continue those meduications. the long term side effects ARE HORRIBLE. One time, I had some of my medication (half a bottle) stolen from me at work. Now this is not only a problem because I cannot function when I am in full blown pain, but having been on these medicaitons for so long I have major withdrawal symptoms. Doctors LITERALLY get you hooked on medication on purpose! Well - my doctor wouldn't refill my meds even though i'd never had anything like that happen before, so I started searching for ways to detox on the internet - that's how I learned about Kratom. I ordered express overnight, had it the next morning and didn't experience ONE withdrawal symptom. I have since switched from the narcotic medications to Kratom and have been taking it daily (when NEEDED) for about 6 months now. I have had had NO constipation, NO sexual side effects, NO withdrawal symptoms when I run out. I cannot BELIEVE the DEA is honestly painting this plant as so evil. It has saved me from being on man made pharmaceuticals on a daily basis. As far as them saying there is "no medical use in the US" - that is a flat out lie and I am living proof of that. As a chronic pain patient at such a young age, the idea of being on pills the rest of my life was daunting. krtom saved me from that. and on a daily basis, it saves me from debilitating pain. I think the DEA has a hand in the pharmaceutical companies and they understand that if the word gets out on kratom - plenty of Americans would rather choose an organic, natural path for legitamate pain relief and the pharmacautical companies would start losing money. think about it.

Hurricane Sandy Coverage on Storify: An Inflection Point?

Major news outlets use Storify to aggregate & make sense of social media flow about Hurricane Sandy
In the last two days, as we've all been inundated (pardon the lame water-related pun) with near-constant TV, radio, web & social media updates on the progress of Hurricane Sandy, one thing that stands out this time around (as opposed to previous disasters) is that, having had time to prepare, the major media outlets turned to Storify to pull together live coverage of the storm, via the thousands (millions?) of ad-hoc citizen reporters who were posting so many TwitPics and Facebook updates.

Yeah, they've been productive alright living up to CHB's site motto that "Nobodys life, liberty or property is safe while Congress is in session or the White House occupied" .
When I look oveer the list of this alleged legislative 'success story' all I witness is legislation for more societal control and an orgy of spending we can ill afford in these times courtesy of these crimpol spendthrifts.

I purchased this for myself for an upcoming trip. I saw how fantastic it is, I decided to give this to my husband, It is like a light weight inspector gadget bag. I just ordered a gray one for myself and will use it as a purse and everything bag on my trip. And ordered one for my sister and one for my girlfriend for Christmas in their favorite colors. Just love all the features, expandable, hide away water bottle net, just unzip, and it is available for use. I can't wait for my husband to see this bag, also excellent bag for his diabetes supplies. Better than I expected.
This works well as the personal carry on item when traveling by air. It can hold iPods, phones, headphones (including noise canceling), Kindle, glasses, travel docs. It slings over the shoulder nicely and lets you have access to all the items while sitting in your seat. I would prefer a non-pattern finish, but this is not too bad in black.
My daughter used some birthday money to buy this for herself. Overall, it has a nice appearance, seems comfortable and has lots of pockets to organize stuff. It comes with a little hokey mirror and flashlight. My daughter's only complaint is that the side mesh pocket that is supposed to unzip to carry a water bottle, doesn't seem to be quit big enough to really securely fit even a skinny, disposable water bottle. There is plenty of room inside the bag though and she really seems to like it.
Very true to description. numerous pockets and places to put things. Holds a lot and is still great for travel.
Overall the bag is fantastic! It's stylish and comfortable to wear. I have to admit that it's smaller than I wanted--I assumed from the other reviews that it was large. It's too small to fit my book, so I need to get another carry-on type bag for travel, but it will be a nice purse on vacation. My husband likes the bag too and keeps threatening to steal it, so I'm getting him one!
great bag! i just realized i didn't need it after it arrived :)
Although it is smaller than I had hoped/expected, it seems to be durable and I am pleased with it overall. Thank you, Overstock!
It is little bigger than I wanted, but it is really great for organizing information.

DeMarco Murray active after six-game absence
DEC 02, 2012 5:51p ET
Murray participated in practice this past week for the first time since injuring the foot Oct. 14 at Baltimore. The Cowboys have rushed for more than 100 yards just once without Murray and are last in the league in rushing offense.
As expected, Vick was inactive along with running back LeSean McCoy, who also has a concussion.
Cowboys nose tackle Jay Ratliff (groin) was inactive, while center Ryan Cook (knee) was active and expected to start. Cook's return means Mackenzy Bernadeau will be back at guard.

Also known as: Arthritis, Arthrosis, Wear & Tear
Osteoarthritis is a progressive degeneration of the joints. It results when the protective surface (cartilage) that allows the joint to move smoothly is damaged. Over time this cartilage is worn away and adjacent bones are remodeled as the joint becomes increasingly abnormal and 'rusty', resulting in pain and stiffness.
Osteoarthritis of the shoulder is less common in comparison to many other joints, principally the hips, knees, and hands. It is nonetheless a debilitating problem and can have a significant impact on the patient's life. Normal shoulder on the left, and an arthritic shoulder on the right - with worn and damaged cartilage
Possible causes Traditionally thought of as a 'wear and tear' phenomenon the cause of osteoarthritis is generally unknown however several contributing factors have been identified these include; prior shoulder surgery, history of trauma, inflammatory conditions (mainly Rheumatoid arthritis), and shoulder overuse. Individuals particularly at risk are those who engage in high intensity overhead activities such as weightlifters and racquet sport players. Rheumatoid arthritis is a widespread disease found throughout the body in which the patients own immune system mistakenly attacks the joints causing widespread inflammation and damage.
Patients with arthritis of the shoulder will classically complain of a stiff and painful shoulder, with a limited range of movement. Description of pain and stiffness that intensifies with use is common as is painful interruption of sleep. "Catching" and "noise" heard during movement is another routine finding.
Osteoarthritis is usually diagnosed by a combination of clinical examination and history of the presenting complaint. Prior to proceeding with treatment, X-rays may be taken to evaluate the extent of any damage which may be helpful in deciding upon the most suitable treatment. Similarly a CT scan of the shoulder may also be requested if it is decided that surgical management would be the most appropriate option.
Non-operative treatment should always be exhausted prior to proceeding with any form of surgery. Possible non-operative options available include:
The form of surgery chosen should be the least invasive approach required to provide long term pain relief and restore function.
Arthroscopic Treatment
Arthroscopic treatment of the shoulder for osteoarthritis is primarily a temporary therapy in which the joint is "tidied up." The surgeon removes unwanted material and smoothes off the joint, hopefully providing relief of symptoms. As mentioned previously this procedure typically provides relief for a limited time only after which more definitive measures i.e. arthroplasty are required, it's role is therefore limited (mainly to the young).
Shoulder Replacement
Ultimately in cases of severe non-resolvable pain or previous failed treatment options, shoulder replacement (arthroplasty) is indicated. There are a number of variations of shoulder replacements available, some more invasive than others. The choice of replacement depends on a number of criteria these include: your surgeon's preference, age, activity level, form of arthritis, and the amount of bone affected.
Traditionally the two forms of replacement that have been used are; hemiarthroplasty and total shoulder arthroplasty. Hemiarthroplasty involves a prosthetic metal implant being placed into the upper bone in the arm (humerus) which forms half of the shoulder joint. Whilst in total shoulder arthroplasty both sides of the joint are replaced.
An alternative joint reconstruction is humeral head resurfacing. In this procedure a small amount of the affected bone is removed from the humeral articulating surface (head) and replaced by a smooth metal cap. This is a particularly good treatment for active young patients as it typically provides good relief and is easy to revise if the condition deteriorates in the future.
For the majority of patients, we prefer the surface replacement procedure , but this may not be suitable for all patients.
For more information click here .
- Keep doing as much of your normal routine as possible. - Maintain a healthy weight - Remain active to keep muscle strength from diminishing. If you work up to a well-designed exercise program, you can keep or even improve joint flexibility. - Keep repetitive overhead activity to a minimum - Rest only when joints are very painful.

X-Men: First Class 20th Century Fox Rated PG-13 Now Showing at: most major theaters. Review by: Larry Thomas Sometimes, as the old saying goes, ignorance is bliss. I had never seen an X-Men movie before. I had never read the comic book series. I had no idea who all these characters are supposed to be. And that's just fine. I entered X-Men: First Class with a clean slate and no preconceived notions about anything occurring on-screen. Normally, I would avoid one of these summer "tent-pole" movies like the plague, but X-Men: First Class did offer some interest for me. The director, Matthew Vaughn, was in charge of helming last year's Kick-Ass, which turned out to be one of my favorite films of 2010. The cast comprises a blend of talented pros and fresh faces, all of which are up to the task. And the story chronicles the beginnings of the X-Men, beginning during World War II continuing through the Cuban Missile Crisis. James McAvoy, who came to prominence with his roles in The Last King of Scotland, and the first film of the Narnia series, plays Professor Xavier, founder of the X-Men, a secret band of genetic mutants who possess extraordinary super powers. Michael Fassbender, who was terrific in his brief role in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, is equally terrific here as the dark and troubled Erik, a victim of unspeakable crimes in his youth, who has the power to control large metal objects. His is a layered performance that is as riveting as it is moving. And the multi-talented Kevin Bacon also impresses as the uber-villain of the piece. Louisville native, and Oscar-nominee for Winter's Bone, Jennifer Lawrence, is fine as Raven, whose mutant self is a bright blue, but who is able to assume the look of anyone she chooses. From TV's Mad Men, January Jones plays the icy, in every sense of the word, Emma Frost. And for serious movie geeks, there are small roles for the likes of James Remar, Michael Ironside, and Ray Wise, along with a couple of surprise cameos which shall not be revealed here. Needless to say, the whole point of films like the X-Men series is to display amazing action, stunts and special effects, and to that end, you won't be disappointed. It's all impressively created to give maximum effect to the "WOW" factor. Rising young film composer Henry Jackman contributes the requisite dramatic strains to accompany the action. It's not a memorable score, but it's refreshing to hear something that's more than a rehash by composers who have done the same thing too often. He will likely be working a lot more in the future. If I were to have a complaint about X-Men: First Class, it's that since there is so much plot and characterization needed for all the introductions, the film does seem a bit long at 132 minutes. It's never boring, but it just feels like there's too much to absorb in one sitting. But, quibble aside, X-Men: First Class is just that…a first class summertime popcorn movie that entertains. And as an added plus, at least for me, I think I shall have to explore the other films in this series, just in case there are others worth enjoying as well. The PG-13 rated X-Men: First Class is now saving the world at a theatre near you.

Rivera: More changes could be coming in Carolina
OCT 23, 2012 12:13p ET
Rivera says Carolina's final 10 games are "an evaluation process" and he hasn't ruled out firing assistant coaches or cutting players for underperforming.
He says "in a situation like this is, when action is being taken, it doesn't mean the action has stopped. By no means is it over."
Rivera's seat got a little hotter Monday when Hurney, the man who hired him in 2011, was fired.
The underachieving Panthers are 1-5 this season entering Sunday's game at Chicago and just 7-22 in two years under Rivera. The 50-year-old Rivera is in the second year of a four-year contract.

WILMINGTON -- Construction theft is becoming an ever more common crime here in North Carolina. Builders say it's an easy crime and each year, they lose more money.
We reported on this problem last week, and Tuesday another local builder is dealing with the problem. He says $30,000 worth of building materials was stolen from his construction site.
Contractor Ricky Gilbert said, "A thief needs to be put where he belongs." He says thieves made off with up to $30,000 worth of copper and work tools.
Copper is in high demand and value right now. Construction sites are prime targets
Gilbert said, "Copper is untraceable, if there's a large amount of copper sold at the salvage yard, deputies could trace it a whole lot better by taking an ID from the customer and a license plate number."
Right now salvage yards are not required to ask for a person's ID.
Donna Girardot of the Wilmington Home Builders Association says that may track the thief, but it won't necessarily bring the items back. Girardot says contractors should take steps to mark their materials.
"If they don't have serial numbers to find them there's no real way to prove that they're there's," she said.
In the end if builders don't have insurance they are forced to absorb the cost or pass it on to the consumer.
"This is the type of loss that just adds to the cost of housing, and we try to keep housing affordable for people in this part of the state. This is a problem for everyone," Girardot said.
It's a problem that builders like Gilbert are tired of reporting.
"Peoples are going into houses, going in to businesses like hours, stealing copper, just to make a quick dollar," Gilbert said.
Authorities are still investigating the incident at Gilbert's construction sire. In 2005 the state made construction theft a felony. This year builders are pushing legislation that would make vandalism at construction sites a felony as well.

"Bottle Girl" Who Went Off On Herself With A Liquor Bottle At A Monster Truck Rally Gets Arrested For Public Nudity (NSFW)
Terre Haute – The Indiana woman who became Internet infamous this week–earning the nickname "Bottle Girl" along the way–has been charged with public nudity for her explicitly videotaped performance in a truck bed. Belinda Dobrowolski, 24, was hit yesterday with a criminal rap for her lewd August 26 public performance in a Terre Haute parking lot. As seen on an X-rated viral video Dobrowolski removed her dress as various onlookers filmed her standing naked. Dobrowolski is then seen engaging in explicit sexual acts with liquor bottles. The graphic activity is met by hoots from an approving crowd of guys, one of whom exclaims, "This is awesome!"
Do these cops even know what kind of precedent they're setting here? Busting people for public nudity for committing viciously outrageous sexual acts with bottles of Jim Beam at monster truck shows is a slippery slope towards no public sex acts at all. That fall-out could be tragic. No more "public" tabs in the categories section of Pornhub or Redtube. Say goodbye to Jynx Maze getting pulverized at her lemonade stand during a Public Adventures shoot and to Bibi Jones' HoF quickies in retail store changing rooms. Peace out creepy guy in the Czech Republic who pays snaggle tooth eastern European whores to fuck him in the woods while he nervously mutters weird things under his breath. The whole country would go flaccid in a matter of weeks. Sluts would be lining up for a BangBros van ride that never comes. That doesn't sound like the America I've come to love and appreciate and masturbate to, that sounds like depressing, limp-dick America.
PS – You know who must be feeling good? The parents of the guy who asked Bottle Girl if she was thirsty and wanted anything to drink. Nothing wrong with having a little fun at parking lot public sex shows, just make sure you respect the talent.

Remove Win 7 Antispyware Pro 2013 (Uninstall Guide)By Lawrence Abrams on November 4, 2012 @ 03:13 PM | Last Updated: December 17, 2012 | Read 24,633 times.Win 7 Antispyware Pro 2013 is a variant of the Rogue.FakeRean-Braviax family of scareware infections. This program is considered a scareware infection because it displays fake scan results, fake security alerts, and prevents you from running your normal Windows applications. This infection is is spread using two methods. The first method is hacked web sites that contain malicious scripts that attempt to install the infection on your computer. The second method is through Trojans that pretend to be legitimate programs but will instead install the scareware on your computer.
When installed, Win 7 Antispyware Pro 2013 will create a file with a random 3 letter name. This file will be configured to start every time you try to launch an executable on your computer. Once started it will perform a fake scan of your computer that states that there are numerous infections present. If you attempt to remove these infections, though, Win 7 Antispyware Pro 2013 will prompt you to purchase the program first. As the displayed results are all fake, please ignore them and continue with the rest of the removal guide. While installed, Win 7 Antispyware Pro 2013 will attempt to protect itself from being removed by terminating any program that you try to run. When it terminates a program it will then state that the file is infected with the following message: As your files are not infected, please ignore this message. While the infection is started it will also show a variety of fake security alerts from your Windows taskbar. These alerts are designed to make you think that your computer has a serious security problem. The text of these alerts are: Just like the scan results, these security warnings and alerts are all fake and should be ignored. Last, but not least, Win 7 Antispyware Pro 2013 will also display a fake Windows Security Center that prompts you to purchase the program. It will also hijack your web browser so that it displays a security warning when you attempt to visit a web site. Just like the security alerts and scan results, these are all false and should be ignored. Without a doubt, Win 7 Antispyware Pro 2013 was created solely to scare you into thinking your computer is infected so that you will then purchase the program. Please do not purchase this program , and if you already have, please contact your credit card company and dispute the charges stating that the program is a computer infection and a scam. To remove Win 7 Antispyware Pro 2013 and related malware please use the guide below. Threat Classification: Advanced information: View Win 7 Antispyware Pro 2013 files. Tools Needed for this fix: Guide Updates: 11/04/12 - Initial guide creation. Automated Removal Instructions for Win 7 Antispyware Pro 2013 using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware:
Your computer should now be free of the Win 7 Antispyware Pro 2013 program. If your current anti-virus solution let this infection through, you may want to consider purchasing the PRO version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to protect against these types of threats in the future. If you are still having problems with your computer after completing these instructions, then please follow the steps outlined in the topic linked below: Preparation Guide For Use Before Using Malware Removal Tools and Requesting Help Associated Win 7 Antispyware Pro 2013 Files: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.exe "(Default)" = '<random>' Associated Win 7 Antispyware Pro 2013 Windows Registry Information: %CommonAppData%\<random characters and numbers> This is a self-help guide. Use at your own risk. BleepingComputer.com can not be held responsible for problems that may occur by using this information.

Almost everyone I know has a smartphone of some kind these days, but there are a few stragglers who haven't quite jumped on the bandwagon just yet. If you happen to have a so-called "feature phone" and want proper access to social networks, what do you do?
Facebook wants to follow you everywhere, regardless of the kind of phone you have, and that's why it has just announced a new mobile application for feature phones. Interestingly enough, it's almost as full-featured (pun intended) as its smartphone counterparts. You can write on walls, check messages, view pictures, read profiles, and so on.
The app can apparently be used without incurring any data charges, so I'm not exactly sure how the carriers are going to be billing you for your usage. They surely want their nickels and dimes as part of this package, right?
The other kicker is that the initial release of the Facebook feature phone app does not include any North American carriers. Instead, it's being launched on guys like Dialog (Sri Lanka), Play (Poland), Viva (Dominican Republic) and Three (Hong Kong). Mobilicity (Canada) should get it soon, though, as will Telcel (Mexico).
Those coming from Nokia smartphones may recognize some of the visual cues on the Facebook feature phone app. That's because the social network worked closely with Snaptu to develop it. I don't think this is any real replacement for a true smartphone, but the feature phone folks will likely enjoy the "no data charges" part. No news yet on a US release or if it will make it that far, Mobilicity in Canada is "coming soon."
I am stoked that there is going to be this facebook feature on just regular phones. Hopefully it gets to North America soon. I cannot get a smart phone for another year, so being able to have that application would be helpful.
Have a Nokia smartphone, and extremely happy with it, so no data charges will be the icing on the cake. Bring it on.

Federal crimes are a pretty huge deal, and most people don't seem to really understand the difference between breaking federal laws and state laws.
Both are serious, naturally, but messing with the big boys just isn't smart.
For instance, my husband is a correctional officer and according to federal law there are certain things that correctional officers cannot do. Some of them seem harmless, like taking a gift from an inmate.
However, if an officer is caught engaging in something like that, not only do they lose their job they also carry a federal offense with them when they leave.
They are trained in federal criminal laws, though, before they begin working with inmates.

Review : Lioele Beyond the Solution BB Cream
{ 6 comments… read them below or add one }
- June 4, 2010 at 4:30 AM
ahhhh… my heart skipped a beat when you mentioned that the cream looks a tad dark and then you say it's not great for dry skin *sighs* I'm still hoping to find a BB cream that suits my skin tone
- June 4, 2010 at 1:38 PM
hey connie, i think it generally suits nc20 to nc30 skin tones. but it won't work if you have dehydrated or flaky skin. my cheeks are quite dry and the bb cream enhanced the dryness
- June 7, 2010 at 11:54 AM
Yeah the Beyond the Solution is more for gals with oily/combination skin :)@Connie: you could try the Etude House V Line Top 10, it's darker than most bbs and good for dry skin.
- June 7, 2010 at 4:36 PM
Thanks for the rec, BB Cream Queen!
