Legend of Martial Arts
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
Legend of Martial Arts Overview
Legend of Martial Arts is fantasy MMORPG by the Chinese studio Perfect World Entertainment. Like Ether Saga Online, Legend of Martial Arts has anime inspired graphics and is based on Chinese mythology. The game offers a much more casual gaming experience that mixes a more relaxed atmosphere with comedic text. Legend of Martial Arts still has many traditional gameplay features including mounts, crafting, PvP, pets, and dungeons. There are two playable races, the Humans and the Reavers. Players start as novices, but have access to a variety of classes (called disciplines) as they level up. New characters start classes, but can make their first class change at level 10, their second at level 30, and their third at level 60.
Races & Disciplines:
Grasshopper -> Sharpy -> Tank / Slasher -> Meat Shield / Khan / Ninja / Samurai
Grasshopper -> Mager -> Medico / Augurer -> Healbot / Padre / Guru / Witch Doctor
Imp -> Summoner
Imp -> Transformer

Legend of Martial Arts Review
By, Erhan Altay
Legend of Martial Arts is the current iteration of a game that was originally known as Q-World when it was an Asia-only MMORPG. First released in 2008, the game was to be titled Kung Foo! in America but another round of development lead to it adopting the name Legend of Martial Arts. LOMA has a much more casual atmosphere than most other Perfect World Entertainment titles and an anime inspired graphic style most similar to Ether Saga Online.
Human vs Reaver
Like most Perfect World games, Legend of Martial Arts is based on Chinese mythology and set in a fantasy version of the Middle Kingdom. The graphic quality is decent, and the client clocks in at around 1700 mb. Despite entering beta on November 24, 2010 LOMA is actually older than Forsaken World or Battle of the Immortals. New players have two nearly identical races to chose from during character creation: Human and Reaver. Appearance customization for both races is limited to gender, several hair styles, and face styles. New players don't chose their class during character customization, they start as novices (either Grasshoppers or Imps), and can make their first class change at level 10.
Bastion for Beginners
Both Humans and Reavers start in the 'Founder's Bastion' map which has a city in the middle and various hunting grounds scattered around it. This is just one of 15 maps that are currently available, each of which is fairly large and connected to others via portals. The game world it self is known as 'Wulin' and composed mainly of a peninsula surrounded by several islands. The various maps have your standard mix of desert, snowy, and forest themes. The oriental background music sets an upbeat mood as do the brightly colored anime graphics. Visual settings allow for multiple resolutions and the option of fullscreen or windowed mode. The interface is tidy; movement can be controlled via W,A,S,D or with the mouse. While both are functional, point-and-click movement just feels more fluid in Legend of Martial Arts. The severely limited backpack space is frustrating, but has become a common feature across many free to play MMORPGs.
Talk, Quest, Grind
The beginner experience in Legend of Martial Arts involves a series of quests to lead from one NPC to another. Like nearly every Asian MMORPG, there's an auto-navigation feature which allows for effortless movement between quest objectives. Alternatively, players can bring up the area map and click on a spot to auto-move there. There are some pathing issues with the auto-navigate, it gets caught on obstacles at times, but a slight readjustment usually fixes the problem. There's also the standard Chinese lack-of-challenge. Early level monsters are never aggressive, and go down with little effort. Experience is best accumulated via questing, and it shouldn't take long to hit level 10 at which point players qualify for their first job change. Players need not worry about stat point distribution in Legend of Martial Arts, but they will receive a skill point each level. Skill resets are freely available during the early levels, so feel free to experiment. When the time does come for a job change, keep in mind that both Humans are Reavers are given two options. But the way the two races are structured starts to change soon after. Humans have a much more complicated and flashed out class tree to maneuver. There are two second job options available at level 30, and two more for each of those at level 60. Reavers, on the other hand, have a linear path to follow after their initial class selection.
Hunting Squirrels
Legend of Martial Arts has a casual atmosphere which is reinforced by both the goofy NPC dialogue and by the scenery and monster designs. Despite the casual friendly setting several in-depth features. Besides open world PvP, LOMA has an interesting dungeon PvP system where players must battle for the privilege of facing off against bosses. There's also a simple crafting system where players acquire recipes by completing quests and looting them off monsters. These recipes are memorized upon consumption. Players can also acquire special items that allow them to transform into monsters. The Berserker class centers around the ability to transform, but any class can use transformation items. There are over 100 of these transformation items available in Legend of Martial Arts. Iris Online has a similar transformation feature, but does a better job integrating it into the overall experience.
Old Dog, New Tricks
Despite being several years old, Perfect World Entertainment did put effort into updating the game for its US release. This isn't just Q-World, it has undergone heavy localization and warrants the new title. LOMA is not PWE's first cartoony game. Ether Saga Online has that distinction, and fans of that game should be sure to check out Legend of Martial Arts. But with that said, gamers who aren't comfortable with the art style found in Legend of Martial Arts won't be won over. It's great to see some more diversity in Perfect World's lineup, especially following a string of more serious releases including Battle of the Immortals, Heroes of Three Kingdoms, and Forsaken World. Check it out if you're looking for something light hearted, casual friendly, but with traditional MMORPG gameplay.
Final Verdict: Fair
Legend of Martial Arts is a functional MMORPG, but the gameplay and visuals feel too familiar. Despite its age, the game still looks nice and the light hearted environment does help it stand out. The large range of classes (at least for the human race) is also a plus, but the linear progression and similarity with other fantasy MMORPGs prevents it from earning a higher score.

The photographer Willy Vanderperre shoots the house's new campaign, turning his camera on the fall-winter 2013-2014 ready-to-wear collection designed by Raf Simons for Dior. We bring you the images here.
With an assertive allure, looking directly into the lens, for artist Willy Vanderperre the Dior woman proudly shows off a style that's formed from the coming together of different eras. This season, it's a look of multiple inspirations, and yet definitively Dior. Whether a straight dress with an air of the 1920s, a Bar jacket inspired by the one by Christian Dior in 1947, or a reworking of the Arizona coat, the legendary creation from the couturier back in 1948, the silhouette of the collection weaves a link through the ages. The link also runs through with color: the red of passion, Dior red, acting as the common thread tying together the different shots. On the curved-heel shoes, on the Bar bag's New Look form, even down to the on-set furniture, shots of red appear, recalling the shared passion of Raf Simons and Christian Dior.
A magnetic look, enigmatic elegance, a decor at the crossroad of inspirations – modernist and at the same time reinterpreting the gold moldings of the grand era of French splendor as seen through an Art Nouveau eye. With it, Willy Vanderperre has evoked a dreamlike and mysterious world around Raf Simons' collection. The models Daria Strokous, Mariacarla Boscono, Elise Crombez and Iselin Steiro are the embodiment of these Dior women with an aura like none other.

Present this as a side with meats or with pitta bread in place of traditional houmous. It is quick and cheap to make and has a bright fresh colour. Great as an appetizer with olives and vegetable crisps. This recipe is cooked in the microwave which helps the peas keep a vibrant green colour and takes only 5 minutes to make!

Florida's Tea Party-backed Gov. Rick Scott announced that he will refuse to implement the Affordable Healthcare Act, despite President Barack Obama's reelection. Refusing to set up a state exchange doesn't necessarily matter that much, since the law empowers the federal government to set up an exchange for states that fail to do so on their own. But more than half the expanded coverage in the law is supposed to come from a federally-subsidized expansion of Medicaid. So if Scott refuses to permit his state's Medicaid to be expanded despite the federal subsidy (the feds cover 100% of the cost of expansion through 2016, dropping to 90% by 2020 – not a big burden on the states), then the impact of the law is crippled.
Conservative groups are urging other governors to refuse.
This raises an interesting question. State nullification of federal law was supposed to have been settled by the Civil War, but it's suddenly become a big issue again. And not just on the right. The legalization of marijuana in a growing (get it?) number of states is setting up a serious confrontation with Washington, which still classifies weed as a Class I illegal narcotic, right alongside heroin, and is still raiding growers even in states where they're acting legally.

UNH bounced from Hockey East tourney
Monday, March 18, 2013
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Penalty killing has been one of the University of New Hampshire hockey team's strengths all season.
"We were playing pretty good hockey," said senior forward John Henrion, who scored one of UNH's two goals Sunday. "We got back in the game. A couple minutes with a lack of discipline and they took advantage of their opportunities.
"Two minutes of mistakes can cost you a game," Henrion added, "and it did tonight."
Trailing 3-2, the Wildcats came close to tying the game, but Grayson Downing's bid from the left circle hit the post with 7:23 left. UNH outshot Providence, 32-25, including 11-5 in the third period.
The second period featured three power-play goals — one by UNH and two by Providence. The Friars scored twice in 44 seconds to turn a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 lead which is where things stood after two periods.
"Our penalty kill has been great all season," Umile said. "They had our number I guess on the power play."
UNH took a 2-1 lead on a power-play goal by Downing, who redirected Trevor van Riemsdyk's pass from the point at 10:31. Van Riemsdyk faked a shot before spotting Downing alone at the side of the net.
"The guys that go out there know their job," Henrion said of the penalty kill. "When you're a man down it's tough. There's always an open guy. They made nice plays and buried their chances."
"It's frustrating," Downing said. "Any time you lose, especially in the playoffs, it's never a good thing. All we can do now is wait and see."

I tend to prefer "descriptive" definitions over prescriptive ones, and I saw a while ago that a PNR blog held a poll for favorite PNR heroine. Mercy Thompson won. She would probably be one of the top choices in a UF poll, too.
But enough of this urban fantasy hijack! The OP told us all to go to Hell.

Not a 100% fit, but what about Alan Campbell's Scar Night (running off hazy recollection here) and Hal Duncan's Escape From Hell (haven't read it but the title would suggest it fits. Maybe).

There's the Sandman Slim series (which I heartily recommend). In the first, Slim escapes from Hell, but he ends up going back.....
Truly great stuff.

Sandman Slim! Yes, I know, it's already been mentioned more than once. Tough. ;-)
Has anyone mentioned God's Demon, by Wayne Barlowe? That takes place in hell, at least in part. A demon seeks redemption.
As for PNR vs UF -- there's PNR, and then there's PNR. And yes, for most of us, the two definitely do overlap.

Back to Hell. I forgot Wayne's. That would be another one. I imagine a lot of the Christian fantasy might touch on the topic.

If I recall it properly there was a story by Alan Dean Foster called To the Vanishing Point where a vacationing family off to a weekend in Vegas decides to "take the scenic route" and drives off into a series of bizarre alternate realities. One of them is literally on a highway to Hell (an apt description of the dusty desert roads between Barstow and Vegas) where drinking fountains spew out scalding hot water and the beaurocrats in charge have trouble figuring out what to do with the vacationing family who clearly don't belong there. Other waystations are equally interesting and bizarre including a popular truckstop diner catering to humans and aliens alike and even a futuristic Las Vegas.

For criminal acts and violence on the stage
For being a brat
Refusing to act your age
For all of the decent citizens you've enraged
You can go to Hell
For gambling and drinking alcohol constantly
For making us doubt our parents authority
For choosing to be a living obscenity
You can go to Hell
You're something that never should have happened
You even make your Grandma sick
You'd poison a blind man's dog and steal his cane
You'd gift wrap a leper
And mail him to your Aunt Jane
You'd even force-feed a diabetic a candy cane
You can go to Hell
You're something that never should have happened
You even make your Grandma sick
For criminal acts and violence on the stage
For being a brat
Refusing to act your age
For all of the decent citizens you've enraged
You can go to Hell

Faces, Voices and Places
About Faces Voices Places
The Latin American region continues to have among the worst health inequities in the world. Particularly at the national and sub-national level, income disparities, and other social determinants of health create environments which foster the unequal distribution of disease among certain vulnerable populations and communities. These communities are often invisible in national statistics and are therefore not seen in nationally measured goals such as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In 2006, the Faces, Voices and Places initiative (FVP) was launched by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) with the goal of advancing the MDGs within the most vulnerable communities throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.
The initiative focuses at the sub-national level in those communities where poverty, lack of access to services and other vulnerabilities have delayed progress towards health and development goals. This work brings visibility and attention to the needs and challenges within these communities and contributes to reducing health inequities within the region. The FVP methodology begins with the initial diagnosis of the MDGs at the national level, which is then used to help prioritize health and development needs at the local level through the participatory diagnosis process. Through this process a reference group made up of leaders at the local level is established, priority goals are set and key strategies and interventions are decided upon. The initiative aims to bring visibility to the needs of the most vulnerable and works collaboratively with vulnerable communities to advance the MDGs.

I'm about a second hand ahead of you in the count then :DQuote:
the amount of times I've been on OBM.org could probably be counted on one hand so I don't know where everything is at on it
As a quick FYI:
In this case, Micheal linked to the OBM page directly (http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1...SO-LINUX312G09) which includes the black box summary. In most of his write ups, he embeds that box (example from the prior related article: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag..._preview&num=1).
Anwyay, From the black box you can click on the system logs (bottom right) ... or if you're on the OBM page, you can also hit the blue system logs tab, which then provides a link to:
system logs relevant to the tests i.e. http://openbenchmarking.org/system/1...SO-LINUX312G09 ... clicking on either of those links, reveals a whole lot of relevant info which you can further drill down into.
It's really good to see my notebook APU being benchamarked, I already tried myself but failed (I'm a just a little noob haha). But I can try with Xonotic (I could make it run on top of Sabayon, but it was the only benchmarked that worked). I would like to do that benches in Gentoo too, but if in Sabayon it fails it can fail to run in Gentoo too. And trust me, a software that takes much time to compile and fails is extremely annoying.
Michael, don't worry with adblock or similar by me, since I don't use this never. Even with my smartphone. I prefer support all sites I like allowing ads run because I don't have money yet (I'm in college). When I finish my studies and start to get true money I will help (will help GNU Octave too and another programs I like and use).
OK, here is a summary of some of my HD6750/FX8120 (4.4GHZ) results on Critter, and Scorched3d (as reported on some other threads): Scorched3d 85fps at peak (lightest maps) with gallium backend and Linux 3.11 with dpm enabled, compared to a peak of 106fps on fglrx a year and a half ago, with 1080p resolution. Scorched3d does not like the sb backend for some reason. Critter (2d but written in Opengl) gives 630fps at peak right now on Linux 3.12 with either previous default backend or with sb backend and cpu governor set to 4.4GHZ fulltime, compared to 1,000 or so fglrx same settings but CPU governor "ondemand." Both at 1080p with "show nebulas" disabled.
NO DIFFERENCE that I can see between Linux 3.11 and Linux 3.12 on the Radeon 6750 in Critter, in Scorched3d, or in 0ad. In Critter no improvement in the "ondemand" governor setting issue either, I still get over a 50% loss of framerate in Critter with OnDemand. That doesn't mean there is none as Scorched3d is very hard to benchmark, Critter is very light, and 0ad CPU limited. My results may not apply to games like Xonotic that I have never played and do not have, but if I sit on them and don't talk about them nobody else can benefit from my testing.
Open source is supposed to be about community contributions of effort in whatever way each person is capable, not passive consumption. Passive consumption is the Windows/Hollywood way, and Linux would not have even gotten out of Linus's garage that way, Some contribute funds or hardware, some contribute code, some contribute testing. All of these are needed for the open source model to work.
Well since we tested an APU, of course a low end one maybe some A10 non GCN would give more accurate results, lets examine our guesses!
- Intel CPU governor improvements:
To check this we should run the test with the radeon cards on an AMD CPU system. Also if this is the case there should be improvements to the Catalyst driver's performance also, so running the test with 3.12 and Catalyst should answer this question!(if this can be done now)
-PCI Express Bus or RAM Access
This is my wild guess considering Alex words about GART size and thinking that it is not affecting the APUs so it maybe a BUS enhancement in the 3.12 kernel like it was when PCI Express 2.0 was enabled by default.
I have an e450 myself in my HTPC, and the thing pretty much always runs at maximum clock when you do anything heavy on it. I think because they're weaker APUs, they might just be running at max frequency all the time already. The "big" a10 APUs might have different results.
If I can find time I'll run these tests myself.
The title of this article is misleading and raises expectations it does not come true.
The likely reason AMD APUs (and also Intel GPUs) are not affected much by the cpufreq change is that they are most likely already GPU bound even at lower frequencies. The higher end dGPUs still have a good bit of GPU capacity left so higher CPU clocks help take advantage of that. That's why you see the largest performance increases with the larger dGPUs.


text:
I don't think that AMD contacted CroTeam (they create Serious Sam 3) - and the changelog entry is definitey wrong.
Haha, you found my hint in that thead that you should not use gfxRestart() in the level but directly after start (or via Alt+Enter twice) - otherwise the performance drops extremely.
Go through my post again, put it into the context of the post I quoted and all the complaints before it, they're on a completely different level.

Well, I'm not quite sure what to think about this driver. It still doesn't resolve one big problem for me: TF2 does run very well (I could get as high as 220+ fps) most time but I keep getting micro "lags" (with that I mean around 5 fps), like every 5 seconds for a VERY brief moment. But it still feels very strange to play TF2 like that.
While I do agree that Linux is not as important as Windows for gaming, Intel and nVidia have proven that some effort actually can help to fill that gap partially.
I wonder what graphic's cards the Steambox is going to utilize.

My guess is that you use Ubuntu with a swap partition. Try
If that helps put a # in front of your swap partition in the /etc/fstab.Code:sudo swapoff -a
I usually only use swap when i want to use suspend 2 disk on a laptop with only Linux on it (then with 512 mb or so more swap than integrated).

Obama is winning... no contest. Obama has terrible competition (Just like George W. Bush had weak competition before him). The system is rigged to completely favor the incumbent.
Especially, if Rick Santorum wins the nomination, I think Obama wins all 50 states. It will be much closer is Romney wins the Republican nomination.

Glad the election is finally over as it brings out the extreme; people like Donald Trump, Sarah Palin get a stage to say irrational bs that make no sense nor help the country. The media hyped this election as if it was going to be close, turned out not to be the case. Obams won, but at the same time the republicans failed once again. There choice to cater to rich folks, conservative folks, southern folks will continue to hurt them in the future since the countries demographic is moving away from those ideologies they promote. Doesn't help either they get support from fox news, the likes of the birthers, trump and Limbaugh or how ever his name is spelt.

I hear what your saying, for me politics has become dems vs rep, with each group caring about their policy and ideology and only going that particular route.
As far as independents, if politics continues going the route that displeases the people there will become more independents. Just in a couple of years we saw the tea party spring up, not sure what is going on now, but their rhetoric has cooled down.
The truth is government is too big, all I am hoping for is that the government does not infringe too much in my hopes of becoming successful in life.

The package that you are looking for is called php5-gtk.........rpm
$ nm $(php-config --extension-dir)/php_gtk2.so |grep GtkWindow|wc -l
I even tried with php_gtk2.so (the only file php-gtk installs) in /usr/lib, with no success.
This gets me further:
So PHP doesn't seem sure it's extension are where `php-config --extension-dir` says it is? Apparently not, by modifying my /etc/php.ini to have extension_dir set to the value returned by $(php-config --extension-dir) then `phoronix-test-suite gui` now loads.PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library './php_gtk2.so' - ./php_gtk2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
Fatal error: Class 'GtkWindow' not found in /usr/share/phoronix-test-suite/pts-core/objects/gtk/pts_gtk_window.php on line 23
Looking at my /etc/php.ini (default install from PHP with the Phoronix upload requirements changed) I see:
but this then breaks PHP (e.g. trying to recompile php-gtk gives this):; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "./"
If I set my extension_dir back to "./" my PHP apps can now find PHP CLI when compiling, but `phoronix-test-suite gui` can no longer find './php_gtk2.so'.checking for gawk... gawk
checking for PHP-GTK support... yes, shared

UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
This is a Preview. This page will be updated when the game is fully released.
Parabellum Overview
Parabellum is 3D MMOFPS game by gamers first. not surprisingly, it plays a lot like Nexon's Combat Arms, IJJI's War Rock and just about every other tactical MMOFPS on the market. What makes Parabellum a bit different is that it looks absolutely gorgeous, as the game was developed on the powerful U3 engine. The game has remained in "closed beta" for over a year now. Even though it's labeled as "Closed beta" Anyone with a GamersFirst can freely access the game. As is, the game feels incomplete, as it only has a handful of maps and game modes, few customization options and weapons.
Parabellum Screenshots

Cursed Queen of Angmar, The
17. A Message of Death
The sun was dropping low in the sky when the wolves began to howl.
"Mamma, wake up!" Zimraphel bounded onto the bed. "Papa is coming! "
Startled, Ariashal sat up. She had not even intended to sleep; she was just going to rest a little. She must have been out for hours. "What do you mean?"
"Listen! Wolf says he is coming!"
She staggered from the bed. Adzuphel and the others were no longer in the room; they too must have heard. "Where are your brothers?"
"Outside. I want you to come and see!"
Obediently she followed her daughter outside, into the deepening twilight. Adzuphel met her near the door.
"We have received word from the King. He is returning here."
"Is he all right?" She managed to keep her voice low.
"I do not know," Adzuphel admitted. "He says that he does not want the children to see him until tomorrow."
"I understand. They will have to be moved, perhaps into your rooms."
"That would probably be best," he agreed. "And he wants the entire town assembled in front of the gates."
"I do not know. I would imagine he wants to show that he is well and still in command."
"Very well." She knew how much he despised any weaknesses of his own. If he were at all able to move, he would do so.
She supervised the removal of the children to Adzuphel's rooms, much to their dismay. They wanted to see their father, and while she was tempted to give in to them, she knew full well that he must have something he wished hidden from them. So she insisted that they be put to bed early, and that their nurse stand close guard.
Guessing that he would want some sort of cleansing after what he had been through, she ordered the servants to prepare a bath for him. There was little they could do; the Hillfolk were not accustomed to such niceties. Still, they were able to procure a large tub, which she had them clean and then fill with hot water. She had no sooner finished managing the bathing arrangements when a trumpet blast echoed across the hills.
Ariashal joined Adzuphel by the gate. The palisade gates were wide open, fires blazing before them. All of the Angmarim troops were lined up on the right of the gate, orcs and men alike. She could not count how many there were. The townsfolk were gathered to the left, a nervous mob that shifted uneasily in the fading light. Wolves trotted around the field.
Another trumpet blast, and Ariashal could make out the approaching crowd. Troops marched along, banners and flags of Angmar held high as they led the way. Drummers pounded a steady beat as they drew near. She counted nine rows of men, three abreast.
Behind them, on a massive pale palomino horse, rode the King. She could see that he still had his black robes, still had his great sword at his side. Her heart leapt as she saw him. He was well, he had survived, he was back and safe and hers.
Then she saw the next wave of troops shuffle forward.
They moved like no men she had ever seen, nor like any orc: stiff heads lolling, staggering as they came. There was something wrong about them; they seemed to be walking in their sleep. Perhaps they were prisoners.
The King rode to the city gate. Reining in the horse, he held up one hand for silence.
"Know ye all," he began, "that from this day hence this land and all that surrounds it belongs to Angmar. You will answer now to Carn Dum."
A low murmur spread through the crowd.
He held up his hand, and again they quieted. He spoke a few words in a strange, guttural tongue, and the shambling troops came forward.
"Look ye here at what I have made of my enemies," he continued. "They will walk to Cardolan, and Rhudaur, and wherever else they called home. And they will spread the word that I will not tolerate any attack on my person. For who better to be my messenger, than those whom I have already slain?"
Horrified, Ariashal took a longer look at the men. She saw, now, that what she had taken for sleepiness was instead the slow march of the undead. The dead men clumsily turned, shuffling back out into the darkness.
"Go now," he said, "and mark well this night." He spurred the horse forward and rode through the gates.
Adzuphel propelled Ariashal after the King. They followed him as he rode to the long house, half running in their attempt to keep up. Ariashal could not imagine what must have happened to him. What had they done that drove him to raise an army of the dead?
They managed to reach him at the door of the long house. To her surprise he had not dismounted; he waited until they had arrived. Adzuphel caught the bridle while the King slowly eased his way down.
She saw how stiffly he moved, how carefully he put his weight on each foot. Obviously he was hurt, despite his valiant attempt to hide any injury. She let him enter the building first, alone, before following with Adzuphel.
He was standing in the middle of the room, swaying slightly with each breath. "Adzuphel, what news is there?"
"Your Majesty," began Adzuphel, "we are all grateful that you have returned safely. There is nothing so urgent that it cannot wait until tomorrow. Please, let your queen tend to you."
For a moment he was quiet. "Very well," he said at last.
Adzuphel bowed and slipped out.
"Let me undress you, my Lord." Ariashal began to undo his sword belt. "Look. I have had a hot bath made ready. Let me help you bathe."
He offered no resistance as she pulled off his clothes. To her shock she found his shirt slashed and bloodstained; his breeches, too, were heavy with dried blood. "What have they done to you?"
She managed to hold her tongue while tending to him. Watching the way the water flowed over what was apparently an empty space never failed to fascinate her. She could not make him out beneath the liquid, nor almost see the body she had known for so long; instead she saw a strange refraction where his flesh met the water. While caring for him she discovered all the places he hurt: areas that were exceptionally warm to the touch, stiff muscles, welts and ridges that seemed to be cuts. Every now and then he flinched when she found a particularly tender spot. Whether most of his injuries came from the fall with his horse, or from the treatments of the Cardolani, she could not tell.
She spent the rest of the night sitting up next to him while he slept. Every now and then she checked on the guards posted outside. They were alert, more alert than she had ever seen them. Bonfires blazed throughout the little city, at the gates, near many a house, by the sprawling army encampment. Satisfied that they were well guarded, she returned to his side.
Watching the steady rise and fall of the blankets, she wondered what had happened in the tower. Obviously they had mistreated him in some manner, else he would not have slain the entire company.
The appearance of the undead had unnerved her. She knew he could do such a thing; she had heard him speak about it. But never before had she actually seen anything like that shambling army of dead men. It was beyond strange, disturbing, frightening.
And yet she could not help but admire him for creating them, for taking his tormentors and turning them against their own kind. If anything, they deserved that, and worse. They had captured him, probably tortured him; the blood on his clothes was evidence of that. Had she been there, she would have torn them apart with her hands for daring to hurt him.
What if more of the Cardolani came here, seeking revenge? The King was too hurt to fight, though she knew he would battle on until the end. Would she be able to drive them off? She was suddenly grateful for the fires that blazed outside, and for the men standing guard at the door; for the orcs that patrolled the night, and the wolves that ran beside them.
How greatly her life had changed! When she was young, a wolf was a ravening horror, a murderous beast that would slay her if she ventured too far afield. Orcs were also nocturnal terrors, swarming over field and farm, destroying all in their path.
Now she saw the wolves as guardians; silent helpers that slipped through the forests, scouting for enemies. Their howls were signals, calls for help, warnings, even news. No longer did she tremble when she heard them. She envied Zimraphel, who could listen to them, and understand.
Her opinion of Orcs had not changed overmuch. They were still savage, wild creatures who left behind nothing but the wreckage of their passage. But they fought for her King, bravely and sometimes desperately. She had seen them in the arena, staging their mock battles for the amusement of the crowd. They never seemed to flinch, nor run, no matter how badly wounded. She knew the King was pleased with their progress, and that pleased her as well.
As gently as she could she adjusted the blankets over him. Not once did he stir. Good. He could not hear her now. "I love you," she whispered.

Comments about High-Back Chair Cushion:
the color is beautiful outside in the day light and under the umbrella. the thickness looks good but,the feel of it, when you sit down could use a thicker foam. you can feel the straps of the chair on the bottom of the seats, not on the back.

Scouting? His agent isn't saying that teams think he lacks in the skill dept. His agent pretty much just said it straight out that the, "Poison is out." It might not be just Pierre and Marc he's referring to but he's saying that kind of stuff is hurting.
Not referring to skill; more along the lines of work ethic and in-game determination. Obviously, what goes on in the locker room isn't necessarily their department, but I would have to think that the inner circles of every team's hockey operations group (GMs, scouts, etc) are privy to better information than McGuire; even if he makes himself out to be the most exclusive hockey insider.

Tonics for everything Woodman Institute Museum plans exhibit on Dover's rich pharmacy tradition
Saturday, February 16, 2013
DOVER -- Cold and flu season are upon us. Sniffling, sneezing and coughing can be heard from every cubicle, corner store and classroom throughout the Garrison City. If it seems like there's a drugstore on every corner these days…well you might say it's a Dover tradition.
Dover Drug, located for many years on the corner of Broadway and Central Avenue, proclaims itself "New Hampshire's Largest Drug Store."
McGrails was the "popular priced drug house", while Charles Tufts boasted of a large supply of brushes, perfumery, elegant cosmetics and fancy soaps. You can never have too much fancy soap, right?
This impressive drug display, on loan to the museum, is part of a Dover bottle collector's exhibit that is being arranged for the coming season.
Tonic, whiskey, soda and milk bottles representing Dover dairies and bottlers are being assembled for the museum's April 3rd opening.
The Woodman Institute Museum, at 182 Central Avenue in Dover, will open soon but you can go online now to preview the galleries, sign up for email updates and get the latest on our upcoming season at WoodmanInstituteMuseum.org.

Long-time UPS driver, Dells man retires
More than a million miles later and 40 years after he took a position at United Parcel Service, Inc. in Sioux Falls, Richard Schneider recently delivered his last package to customers and clients he's grown to love.Schneider of Dell Rapids, retired Jan. 31 from UPS after driving for the company for 39 years. Taking the job at age 20 in 1973, he became a driver a year later and in 1976 began serving the Dell Rapids area. He delivered packages to Dell Rapids and the surrounding area until 2005.Seeing the same people everyday, Schneider built relationships he still maintains, and not driving and encountering those friends on a daily basis anymore is a draw back to retirement."Most of my friends I met through my route," Schneider said.And he's not exaggerating. Schneider said in the late 1980s, he and wife Mary were looking to move out of Sioux Falls, where they had been living, and into a smaller community to raise their children, Angela, Brad and Ryan."I was already spending a lot of time in Dell Rapids anyway," he said, referring to a softball team he played on and other Dell Rapids recreational activities he participated in.In 1990, the Schneiders moved to Dell Rapids and never left.Schneider said he plans to spend his extra time traveling, riding his Harley-Davidson, fishing and spending time at his family lake cabin.
Squeeky clean
Schneider earned a spot in UPS's Circle of Honor with 38 years of accident-free driving. Only one other UPS driver in the South Dakota has achieved the same milestone.
