"Imagine if David Lynch had discovered a time machine with the dial stuck on 1950 and decided to send a Soho nightclub back through it. Then listen to Sweet Tooth. Led by the striking presence and pipes of Fleurtini, Sweet Tooth sound like the soundtrack to 'Mulholland Drive' fed through the slink-o-meter and set to 'caress'."
Big Cheese magazine
Sweet Tooth are a London-based duo consisting of chanteuse Fleurtini and producer Gavin Hammond. Their sound is an elegant but lethal cocktail of film-noir jazz, underground electronica and retro guitar pop.
Without missing a beat, they combine electro-swing, 1950s lounge, Brixton dub, Hollywood glamour, comic book culture, kitsch sci-fi soundtracks and East London alternative rock.

The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
This personalized zipper pull from Amate Studios will look fabulous attached to your purse or amazing on your children's backpacks.
- Amate Studios "K" classic pendant (or other letter)
- Ranger UTEE (ultra thick embossing powder) clear, black, white
- Ranger To Dye For red, magenta
- Straight pin
- Lanyard hook
- Dazzle Tac Jewelry glue
- Ranger Melting pot
- Kool Toolz spatula
- Small wooden block
1. Heat up melting pot on UTEE setting for 10 minutes. Melt clear UTEE.
2. Add 2 to 3 drops of red and magenta To Dye For to melted UTEE. Mix gently with Kool Toolz spatula.
3. Add a sprinkle of white UTEE to the left side of the pan.
4. Add a sprinkle of black UTEE to the right side of the pan.
5. Let the white and Black UTEE melt. Do not mix. As you pour the UTEE it will naturally mix.
6. So that the pendant will lay flat, place it on the small wooden block. Once the UTEE is all melted, slowly pour UTEE into well of pendant. Stop pouring before you think that the well is full.
7. If you do not like how the UTEE poured out you can quickly use a straight pin to mix the colors around. If you really don't like how it turned out you can let it dry and put it back into the melting pot and re-melt and re-pour. Every time you pour you will get a different look.
8. Do not move the pendant until the UTEE is completely cooled. Once cooled, pop out UTEE. Add a small amount of Dazzle Tac jewelry glue to bottom of pendant well and insert UTEE back into the pendant.
9. Allow jewelry glue to dry then attach pendant to a lanyard hook. Attach to your purse, backpack, or jean belt loop and enjoy!

Popes Garden- FANTASTIC place
I can't remember who mentioned Popes garden last year but I'm SO glad that you did. Thank you! I finally made the trip there today. What a great nursery. The annual selection is the best I've ever seen and I know the prices can't be beat. So many hard to find varieties were right there! I'm a annual junkie and I'm always on the look out for something different. They have it. I was like a pig in mud!:)
They also have a large selection of perennials too but I didn't have time to check them out. They also sell Pro-mix potting soil. Something I can never find in my area. It was well worth the trip.
Here is a link that might be useful: directions to Popes
Welcome to the wonderful world of Pope's Garden's fanatics;
it was probably my raving about them last season that piqued your interest. On my first early visit this Spring,
the owner commented on the number of people already this
season who had heard about them through Garden Web; I think
it's terrific that we can actually help to make a difference for some of these better-run "Mom-and-Pop
operations. So, come on everybody, TELL us about the
really GOOD nurseries you've found !
I went to Pope's last year after reading about them here. Its now way at the top of my list for annuals, perennials, and herbs. No reason to go any place else, although I still go to Springdale Farms since is so close.
Dont get me started about the Hostas. A couple of years ago I said I never need to buy another Hosta since I can just keep dividing what I have. That was before I saw Pope's selection and prices. Now I have more Hosta's that I can divide.:)
Fantastic place, and I like how its laid out.
Go to their website for explicit directions:
www.popesgardens.com - generally located southeast of
Philadelphia, not far off the Atlantic City Expressway;
also just off Rte. 206 as you're passing through the Pine Barrens and approaching Hammonton (the Blueberry Capital of the United States). Look for the town of Waterford Works on your map.
It's well worth the search!
One of the best nurseries in South Jersey......great prices and everything is marked so clearly. Be sure to check out the gift shop too....they have the cutest garden accessories there.
After reading all the comments here on Gardenweb, I had to make a visit to Pope's. I was definately not dissapointed. What a great place. Excellent plant material and variety. Great pricing and plent of inventory. I made a point to meet both Jim and Joan and can tell you they are wonderful and well informed. Living in the Garden State, I often wonder why folks buy from the big box stores or expensive garden centers, when we have such fabulous sources like Pope's all around us. I will reccomend Pope's to all my friends and clients, as an amazing example of a retail nursery in southern New Jersey.
Echo all the sentiments on POPE's.
Took advantage of a dismal shore day last Saturday for a great gardening discovery .
Fantastic selection of very healthy plants at a great value.
The nursery is laid out well with information on all the plants.
We thoroughly enjoyed this visit and will be going back again
dcumba99p: Most of the Pope's perennials are gallons, including a lot of the shrubs (hostas are just a large
sub-division), but DON'T expect fully developed shrubs,
certainly not at these prices! Everything, of course,
will develop in time, as all the plants I've purchased
there will attest. We're heading into the end of June already so stocks may be somewhat depleted, but go anyway
so'll have an even BETTER reason to return next April/May
with a truck!
I did it I did it!!!! I went to Popes. Yay! Didnt find it at first so went to the Wawa on Rt 30 and the woman there told me exactly where to go. My boyfriend and youngest daughter went with me. Of course the baby loved the animals especially the turkey. I have NEVER seen a white turkey.
They have a gorgeous selection of plants, I was very very impressed. Especially with that Angels Trumpet its HUGE (not for sale or 150.00)Oh and so many different varieties of houseplants.
I love how everything is alphabetically marked its so cute.
This late in the season (I guess) they didnt have too many varieities of Hostas (which is why I went. I think they had about 20 different ones, still a good amount. I bought 4, if boyfriend wasnt with me I would have gotten more.
The giftshop is very nice. Their dogs (labs) are very cute and friendly hmmm, had a hard time tearing the baby away from them too.
I was also impressed that they had Liquid Fence my mom is TRYING to grow Hostas this year and this is just what she needs and when Joan pulled out a info pack about what plants deer dont like I was blown away.
I WILL DEFINATELY reccommend Popes to everyone interested in gardening!!!!
I rate them an 11 on a scale of 1-10.
Thanks for letting me know about Popes.
Pope's is just south of Atco on Old White Horse Pike, north of the Atlantic City Expressway. (Do a google search for more details.) I finally had time to visit it yesterday, and it is now #1 on my list for annuals. Their stock was in great shape, and prices are very reasonable. I didn't check out the perennials too much, but what I saw looked nice.
Sounds great, but I live in North Jersey. Would it still be worthwhile for me to go? How about in the fall? Do they have good sales on perennials and shrubs in the fall?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP/WMOT) — Gov. Bill Haslam devoted half of his State of the State speech to education and again this year promised Tennessee teachers a pay raise.
The Republican governor announced Monday evening that he's included $100 million dollars in the upcoming budget to fund a 4 percent salary increase for teachers. Haslam also announced that he'll be submitting legislation to make other changes teachers have been asking for.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP/WMOT) — A new poll by Middle Tennessee State University shows overwhelming support for Gov. Bill Haslam's program to make community college and technical schools free for upcoming graduates.
The poll found that 79 percent approve of the program known as Tennessee Promise. The poll showed 12 percent against it, 8 percent were unsure and the rest gave no answer.
Here's how the governor described Tennessee Promise when he introduced the initiative last year.
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP/WMOT) — DUI arrests are on the rise here in the mid-state and across Tennessee. A Tennessee Bureau of Investigation report says there were more Tennessee residents charged with driving under the influence in 2014 than 2013. The report, released Feb. 1, says law enforcement agencies arrested just over 29,500 Tennessee drivers for the offense in 2014. That's 639 more people arrested for DUI than in the previous year. With the exception of 2013, DUI arrests in Murfreesboro have risen each year since at least 2009.
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) — The state Legislature goes into special session Monday to take Gov. Bill Haslam's Medicaid expansion proposal.
The governor was here in Murfreesboro yesterday afternoon wrapping up a statewide tour promoting the special deal he worked out with the Obama Administration. Haslam has acknowledged that getting fellow Republicans to approve any deal connected to the president's signature Affordable Health Care Act will be an uphill battle.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — About 90 percent of Tennessee's 2014 high school graduates have applied for the first year of Tennessee Promise, the program that offers eligible seniors the chance to go to a community college or technical college tuition-free.
The Tennessean reports that amounts to about 58,000 students and exceeds predictions by tens of thousands.
Tennessee Board of Regents Chancellor John Morgan says, not only will there be more students, but they'll likely need more help to succeed.

Some of my lilies are freaks
Anyone know why lilies do these things? Two of my pink lilies, Moneymaker and Party Diamond, often bloom with broken colour.
Then there's Cheops, which after its second year started getting funny appendages on its buds, which then bloom with missing petals. I've cropped so you can see the funny ones. These bloom with 3 to 5 petals. It's been doing this for 7 years now.
I have one orange and yellow variety that varies a lot depending on the weather. In rainier years it is gorgeous, but in drier years the petals are misshapen and the color is dull. It gets just as much water as the others all around it, but apparently it needs much more than normal.
Well I think that sometimes broken color can be evidence of a virus, isn't it?
But if it is fine some years, maybe it just has to do with water and heat levels? I'm not sure, I've never seen it on any of mine.
I definitely have some mutant lilies though..quite a few of them will develop flowers with 12 petals instead of 6. Others, especially if we have a year with wacky weather, will have stunted flowers or warped buds. Who knows!!
The mutant colour is probably weather related. I have had the same thing happen to my Treffer asiatic lilies where the other petals crack and break and fall off leaving the lily with just some of its petals. Last year they bloomed beautifully. The yellow Polyanna asiatic lilys next to them have never had that problem.,,Jean
Wow, I never even thought of a virus. Moneymaker bloomed funny the first year but I think it has bloomed normally at least once since. Party Diamond was definitely normal in 2007 and broken just like that ever since. They are nowhere near each other and none of their neighbours have shown any problems. Now I'm worried maybe I should get rid of them...
Northspruce - I feel bad for your lilies......being called freaks.........they're beautiful anyway. =:)
Laurie I wish you hadn't mentioned Lily Nook. I just googled it and found out they have mail order lilies. People on this forum are costing my DH a small fortune with telling me all these places I can order from, LOL ! Before joining GardenWeb I didn't even realize I could safely do that !
northspruce - I didn't mean to scare you! If you have no other symptoms besides the mottle coloring of the flowers, and the plants seem vigorous(they look fine in the pics) there is a good chance it is related to weather or some such thing. I did some reading, and the virus that causes color breaking (tulip breaking virus) also causes mottled foliage, and it doesn't look like your lilies have mottled foliage, so you're probably safe. Maybe you could post pics in the lily section, you might get some people with more expertise. Or you could send a pic to that lady beegood mentioned in Alberta, and she might be able to put your mind at ease.
I have some weird things happening with mine this year, too. I'm attributing it to excessive moisture, hail damage, some bug (or bird) damage. My Giraffe lilies - named because of the height - aren't even 3' tall. I sacrificed a Landini stem with 5 buds for a bouquet, and the second bud to open only had 4 petals. Elegant Crown buds look nice but they open kind of curly. Like NAF said, they're pretty anyway. I also recall last year that the stems on many of the lilies browned early from all that crazy rain so maybe they didn't rejuvenate properly with a normal die-back of stems.

Drink right from the wide-mouth glass.

Glass creates no taste on the water, heavy duty bottle, perfect all around.
Posted by julie on 26th Dec 2014
The glass is strong, the cover is stylish and adds protection, the colors are nice and bright and I think water actually tastes better in them! I bought one each for my daughters, who love them and one for myself. Quality manufacturing, competitive prices, stylish look and a portion of all sales goes to clean water for the world--you can't miss!
Posted by Unknown on 23rd Oct 2014
Glass is the way to go. The outside is protected from minor abuse. The open top allows easy filling.
Posted by The Lander Family on 1st Aug 2014
Although it's heavy, it's very durable and I know I'm not ingesting any toxins. It also allows the water to taste like water, which stainless steel water bottles fail to do. Thank you for another great product, EcoVessel. You guys are the pioneers of safe and awwwesome products.
Posted by Unknown on 14th Jul 2014
This is a really sturdy container and I like that the silicone sleeve protects the glass. My only criticism is that it is on the heavy side and doesn't fit in my cup holder in my car. However, it holds a lot of liquid (in my case, water), and that is a good thing. I don't like using plastic, so this is a good alternative and it will last a long time.
Posted by Jen on 14th Jul 2014
I love this and take it ever! I put my grapefruit essential in my water and off I go:)

Come to Jesus
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Michael Strahan grabbed the game ball and silenced his teammates, inspiring 52 sets of eyes to burn into the most powerful personas and presences in the Giants' locker room: the franchise star and the coach, Tom Coughlin. After the first victory of the season, they stood shoulder to shoulder, an uneasy partnership solidified with sport's most traditional tonic. Winning.
When the Giants had appeared to be on the brink of a revolt, the strangest thing happened: They're on the cusp of a revolution. Coughlin has started to reshape the way his players view him, his values and his rigid ways. And all that begins and ends with Strahan, because everything does on these Giants.
After witnessing the moment the Strahan-Coughlin thaw started after the Redskins game two weeks ago, receiver Amani Toomer said, "Everybody knows how they haven't been seeing eye-to-eye. But the main thing that they have in common is that they both want to win. This showed that winning takes care of everything."
Sometimes, it can be this simple. Strahan called the powers of victory "healing," and understood that the chances of Coughlin and him coming closer together had a lot to do with winning games. Now, New York has won two straight games on the way to Green Bay on Sunday, where they'll have a chance to declare themselves as legitimate playoff contenders. For the Giants, Green Bay and Dallas are back-to-back road acid tests to determine the legitimacy of the season.
Nevertheless, these games should no longer have to bear the burden of defining the bond between the coach and best player. They've come a long way in a brief time, pushed past the furor over offseason workout programs and meeting fines to reach common ground.
"He has everybody's respect as a coach," Strahan says. "If we listen to him, if we follow his plan, we're going to be successful."
For two weeks, the fine leveled on Strahan and two teammates for failing to show up only two minutes early for a team meeting had transformed into a locker room obsession and the spark of a national debate. For all the insistence that Coughlin would never ease back, he did reach out. In the wake of that past week, he was touched by Strahan's gesture with the game ball. It did go a long way toward soothing hard feelings, and maybe, a longer way toward inspiring Coughlin to reach back out to Strahan.
After the team meetings on the eve of last Sunday's victory over Cleveland, Strahan was grateful with the way Coughlin asked about the player's pregnant wife and the impending birth of twin daughters, even sharing stories about his own granddaughter. Suddenly, Coughlin didn't seem so eager to embrace his reputation as an ogre, and behind the scenes, the Giants started to see a softer side of him. He started to show them there was a human being there, someone they hadn't been sure existed beyond the sullen eyes and grim face.
"He's definitely gone out of his way to make more of a connect with his players," Strahan said. "The players appreciate that, and I think that's the reason we're playing as hard as we are for him."
Strahan was downright dominant in the 27-10 victory over the Browns, delivering two sacks and recovering two fumbles. All along, there was an unmistakable truth destined to be discovered: Strahan is everything Coughlin wants out of a football player. He practices hard, plays hurt and performs on game days.
In sports, there's nothing as important for a coach than getting his star players on his side. Because if they're not working for the coach in the locker room, they're working against him. Coughlin's best players with Jacksonville still swear by him, with Keenan McCardell and Gary Walker, two of his ex-Pro Bowl Jags, insisting they would play for him again. "If he can get his core guys to believe, when they bring in other guys around them, the core guys are going to police the whole thing for him," says Walker, the Houston Texans defensive tackle. "But he'll keep cutting down that core, until he gets his guys in there."
Even the players most dissatisfied with Coughlin grudgingly admit he has them incredibly prepared to play every week and that goes a long way with athletes. If a coach is going to be a brutal taskmaster, his hard line has to be backed with the belief he's completely competent. No one disputes his acumen in the Giants' locker room, even if they had found fault with his methods.
"Once you start to respect those rules, understand why they're there, he starts to grow on you," McCardell says. "You start to do things like him, you start to become like him. But it's all a lot easier to see if you start winning."
Three weeks ago, no one would've believed it --- maybe not even Strahan himself. All he knows now is that the Giants have a winning record, and they're turning into a leaner, tougher and sharper team under his iron fist. Suddenly, the franchise player is a Coughlin convert too.
And perhaps it began innocently enough, with Strahan handing the game ball to his coach. To many more victories, he toasted. Many more. Ultimately, Michael Strahan gave his teammates a cue this football season, and finally, they cheered Tom Coughlin in his locker room.

SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt (AP) — Yemen's embattled president on Saturday called Shiite rebels who forced him to flee the country "stooges of Iran," directly blaming the Islamic Republic for the chaos there and demanding airstrikes against rebel positions continue until they surrender.
DENVER (AP) — Thanks to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, it's becoming even clearer that immigration is the banana peel of 2016 Republican presidential politics.

Why is Nova called green Princeps?
Why is Nova called green princeps Question This question boggled and are still confusing many people
As we all know nova were once known as green T.princeps because they were mistakenly sold as T.princeps but turned out to be something different growing very fast no other trachycaprus can beat (excluding Winsan).
However some say Nova are just T.fortunei except for the faster growth rate. Actually, it is not correct.
Look at the photos of Nova -narrow type and you will better understand what I am getting at. This narrow type of Nova seedlings is identical to those of princeps in term of evenly and narrowly split leaves minus the white powder . ShockedIt makes sense to call this narrow type of Nova green princeps before we figure the mystery out as clearly as now.
Jim also got a nova which I think belongs to this form, but compacter bearing more resemblance to princeps in this respect.I noticed this variation on my Nova as well which has no leggy trunk or elongated petioles, just giving a confusing impression of princeps, I distinguish from princeps only by checking and confirming the white powder.
Based on our observation of hundreds of Nova seedlings grown in the field and pots from the seeds in the stone gate, we found out that there are actually two forms of Nova.
One is the wide type with wide,stiff and irregularly split leaves ,but narrower than those of T. fortunei, This is what many growers got and is the reason why some unsuspecting people say Nova is a kind of T.fortunei except they are growing fast with stretched trunk.
the second is narrow type with narrowly and regularly split leaves like princeps I showed in the photos.
What is interesting is that both forms are growing pretty fast with long and large parts than their counterparts other trachycarpus do not match.
See more photos of both forms.
I think this is one of those happy accidents Garry,where people still thought they had some type of Princeps
but it was just green and now,it just may be that they have a hybrid-green Fortunei and Princeps.
So,it may be found out that it is actually Fortunei with Princeps blood!
I think there is good evidence of their relation to each other!
Very interesting though that there is a stout version of the palm but this may just be hybrid range,for some
reason some are leggy looking and some are stout,very strange to see so much deviation that doesn't
actually make sense but maybe is just the mix of this cross!

Nov. 29, 2012

The Friars will host the Terriers in Schneider Arena on Friday before travelling to Boston, Mass. on Saturday to wrap-up their second Hockey East series of the season.
The Last Meeting
November 16, 2012
Boston, Mass.
Providence took three points out of conference last weekend. The Friars took on Brown University on Friday, Nov. 23, where the two tied, 2-2, in the 18th annual Mayor's Cup. The tie marked the third tie in the history of Mayor's Cup match-up's between the two teams overall series. On Sunday, Nov. 25 the Friars blanked the Union College Dutchwomen, 4-0. The Friars were led by sophomore Beth Hanrahan (Poolesville, Md.), who earned Co-Player of the Week honors for her play over the weekend. Hanrahan matched a career high two goal game with the first and last goals of the win. Freshman goaltender Sarah Bryant (Bethlehem, Pa.) earned Rookie of the Week honors with her first career shutout. With the win, the Friars improved their home record to 6-1-2 on the season.
Providence goes into Friday's match-up against Boston University with a 25-11-2 all-time record against the Terriers. The Friars and Terriers last faced off at the Walter Brown Arena on Friday, Nov. 16, where the Friars fell, 7-1.

It's just too bad subaru does a really bad job of stocking up on these cars by me! I don't know how anyone WOULDN'T want one! Drove the car off the lot new years eve, then drove up to a friends house in New York. Have driven the Baja home after work in a snow blizzard-car didn't slip once. Was pretty skeptical about the AWD at first, but after this trip home, i'm convinced it's GRRRRRRREAT! Felt safe the whole ride.

Great little car, I was considering the
Turbo model, but when it came down to
it the Sport was sufficient for my
needs. It still has quite a bit of kick
to it, and does a very impressive jump
off the line. I've had it about a month
now, gets looks around town, some good
some bad, but that was my draw to it.
It's a unique car, and it really is a
blast to drive.

Record companies plan music downloading appeal
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Recording industry attorneys are appealing a recent ruling that reduced the amount of money a Minnesota woman must pay for willfully violating the copyrights of 24 songs.
U.S. District Judge Michael Davis ruled last month that the $1.5 million penalty imposed by a jury was unreasonable, and that Jammie Thomas-Rasset of Brainerd should instead pay $54,000.

Searching Basics
By default the search uses an "AND" operator for phrases. If it cannot find anything within these parameters, it will switch to an "OR" operator between terms.
Boolean NOT
To get results without particular word, use the minus operator.
Example: cats -dogs
You can use quotation marks to force the search to only look for a particular phrase.
Example: "healthiest diet" will only return exact matches for the full phrase healthiest diet versus the term healthiest diet (without quotations) which will return the best results for "healthiest diet" first and then search for anything with both the terms "healthiest" and "diet".
Give it a try and see the difference: Search for "healthiest diet" or Search for healthiest diet (without quotes)
Relevancy, keyword frequency, and relationships
Results are sorted by relevancy in addition to the rules above to find the best matches for a particular phrase or keyword. The search takes into account word frequency algorithms and relative terms as well as several other advanced factors to deliver the best search experience.
The search is capable of searching the full video transcript, if available. If you are having trouble finding subject matter on a particular topic, try using relative keywords and phrases within the search and try again. The search will also try to correct spelling errors and suggest alternative topics in the event a keyword or phrase cannot be found.
Getting help
The search feature on NutritionFacts.org is constantly evolving and it gets better with every use!

EDIT: Some seasoned players have made some legitimate posts in this thread debating what I've said, so take mine for what it is (my opinion)
Just wanted to post this in case anyone here was actually considering getting this game. Good god its a trap avoid at all costs. I had EXTREMELY low expectations for Tera. Looked like a typical mass-produced korean MMO that will probably be F2P in 2 months so I passed completely on the open beta. Then all of my friends started bugging me to get it since release at the beginning of the month so I decided what the hell I'll pick it up and have fun with them for a couple months to pass some time until GW2 comes out...everyone made it seem like the combat was loads of fun and the environments were so gorgeous and blah blah blah...still had low expectations but hey at least the combat was supposed to great.
Anyway, I picked it up yesterday.. couldn't stomach more than an hour of it. It far surpassed any low expectations I had. I had the bar set waaaay too high. It's touted as being a "true action MMO" just because they got rid of locked on targeting in favor of an FPS style crosshair with highly mobile combat and dodging/blocking types of mechanics...from what I understood it was supposed to play more like God of War or Devil May Cry than an MMO. This all sounds great until you get in to the game and realize you have to stop moving to use any of your abilities. Like...literally any of them. I rolled an archer because I thought it would fun and mobile kind of like playing an FPS...yeah no you can't even use your basic physical attack without standing still. If I'm running and left click to use my physical 'auto-attack' my character stops and I have to wait for the !@#$ing 2 second animation to finish before I can move again. Same with every ability for every class. Can't even queue abilities. You jump and you can't even attack until the entire jump animation in finished. Not only that but each class is locked in to using one type of weapon for the entire game (the one you start with) This %^-* makes WoW combat feel like white-knuckle edge of your seat action.
Furthermore, the graphics that look so pretty in the trailers are rendered completely obsolete by the fact that the max view distance possible in the game (maxed graphic settings) is like 10 yards in front of you even on a monster gaming rig. This game has worse pop-up than PC racing games from 1999. Please do not buy this game. I wasn't entirely thrilled with how D3 turned out but after playing Tera I'm an even bigger blizzard fanboy than I ever was. DO NOT BUY.
Yeah I'm sure I'll get flamed for even buying it. I deserve it entirely.
EDIT: added paragraphs!!!!
another edit: people seem to be coming to the conclusion that i don't like it because it actually takes skill. What I was expecting based on what my friends were saying is that it actually would take a HUGE amount of skill. Now keep in mind I don't care about this MMO so I don't have anything invested in it (other than my $50!!) From what I've seen (from my play and watching level 60 hard mode dungeons on youtube) it takes absolutely no more skill then any other MMO on the market, which is next to nothing. It's just another slow, boring, gear-based combat system. So you dodge an attack every few seconds...hooray. The enemy winds up the attack for like 6 seconds..I'm sorry that doesn't seem very 'action-combat' to me. I thought it was going to be extremely fast and twitch-based combat that actually had a high skill ceiling. That's sort of what the entire game was sold on.....From what I've seen this is completely false. But again this is my opinion.
Edited by Hex#1926 on 5/31/2012 5:53 AM PDT
If you actually read the post it has nothing at all to do with it being a grind fest. I don't care about interesting quests/lore in an MMO personally.
Posts: 159View profile
TLDR: Can't attack while moving, bad graphic pop-ins, auto-attack takes 2 seconds.

Seriously, i just think you suck at it.
I have a few friends who play it and love it.. And the combat is what i like about it.
And it looks great. To the others saying it's a korean grinder. Lol what is WoW?
It's just grind, blizzard releases a new expansion, more grind, until blizz releases a new expansion, more grind.. until....
They will keep doing it you know, and it's the same everytime. You need to grind for new Pixels that nobody cares about, it gets old, new expansion comes, grind some more, rinse and repeat.
Stop saying all korean mmorpg's are grinds, they are all grinds.
Mmorpgs was the reason i wanted in the field in the frist place, it just sounds 2 good to be true, release expansion (Everybody wants to see the new stuff!!1!) make them grind for new pixels, release a new expansion (Everybody wants to see the new stuff!1!1!)
They applaud you for it, while you take their money... It's sooo sweet ^^
I wish i got there sooner... All those moneys...
Couldn't they just balance the whole game around that then? I'm just confused because what's the point of making the main selling feature of the game "action combat" if you have to stop to attack.....it feels more sluggish than tab-target MMO's to me.
Seriously, i just think you suck at it.
Again, I didn't say anything about the grind. Like...at all. Ever.
Yeah I have a friend who was trying to pressure me into buying the game. I had to give her every excuse I could think of to get myself off the hook since I didn't want to hurt her feelings by stating my belief that the game was most likely !@# and that anyone who plays it is mentally deficient.
Glad I stuck to my guns.

It's a Korean MMO. That's really all you need to know.
If you're looking for a good PVP game, go for Guildwars 2 or Planetside 2.
Guildwars 2 currently has weekend events that you can participate in if you pre-purchase the game. Planetside 2 is going to go beta soon, and you can sign up for it now.
Both games will be free to play without a subscription.
Do you people even read threads anymore? I WANT real action combat. I'm upset because that's not what I got at all. Read before you post, please.
And for people saying it's because I'm 'bad', I played starcraft 1 for 14 years. Please get off your high horse and stop acting like MMO's take a profound level of skill.

just a quick question before I try this. Is it safe to leave the batter, which contains milk, overnight at room temp?
This is a tried & true recipe. I have made it many times as written & with modifications. It's great--I highly recommend it! I sub whole wheat pastry flour & add 1t vanilla for flavor. Also sub pure maple syrup for sugar. I have made it in a regular waffle maker & Belgium--both are good. I love that it's mixed the night before(I do it in the stand mixer). Make this!
This waffle recipee is a revelation. The thin batter and gentle yeast aroma yield an outstanding delicious waffle. Light and lacy, with a fine creamy inside and a crisp golden exterior. Truly distinguished from heavier pancakes, try these with muddled berries and cream, or just a touch of butter and agave. So delicious.
Very good- save extras for the toaster. Can be made in a belgian waffle maker.
I have been making this recipe for 11 years; it's perfect. It's idiot-proof and and has won over every guest. We have a Wimbledon party and I serve these. I serve them the morning after New Year's Eve... Valentine's Day brunch, Christmas brunch... you can't go wrong here. Leftovers freeze well, thaw nicely and are great with a cup of tea in the afternoon. I have used half the butter and they are just as tasty, but do not brown as much. Once, I flavored them with Grand Marnier and the accompanying whipped cream as well--it all works. Maple syrup, bacon and whipped cream and... you've got a winner, every time.
Just follow the damn recipe. This is the ultimate recipe. Easier, and much tastier than all the others. Sure you can modify it, but I doubt you will find that you can improve it much.
This recipe is flawed. The batter comes out too thin, resulting in waffles that approximate cardboard. There's a simple way to fix it, though. 1) Instead of 2 cups of flour, use 2 3/4 cups. 2) Do not separate the eggs. Just mix in the whole eggs before cooking the waffles. 3) Just before cooking the waffles, mix in 2 tbsp of sugar. The result is a very flavourful waffle that is perfectly crispy on the outside, and soft and caky on the inside.
These are fantastic - the only change I would make is to add 2 tsp vanilla in the morning (along with the eggs and baking soda)... one review questioned the flavour for breakfast... we tried it with Canadian Maple Syrup as well as fresh blueberries and whipped cream... the malty flavour of the waffles matched perfectly with breakfast foods like blueberries, etc. I so recommend this!!!!
Hubby made this for a casual breakfast gathering, Instead of mixing the night before, he did it the day of. We made a couple of changes to the recipe: 1. used self-rising flour instead of all-purpose flour by accident 2. added a swirl of real vanilla syrup to counteract the yeasty smell IMHO, this is the perfect waffle to accompany eggs and bacon (or anything savory).
These waffles are amazing! Crisp on the outside, tender and tasty on the inside. The yeast gives it a full bodied taste that I did not find overwhelming at all. So glad I found this recipe.


text: Sweet Little OneIt was late on that very night when I first met that girl. The girl with the brown my curls with cute lovely bows in her hair. You might of seen her in the missing children in the papers. For, she has been missed a long time. But don't worry I found her. And I have her. In my belly! Oh yes, she is safe in there... for now. And me? I have many names. But you my call me Slenderman. The child called me ""Jack". I guess she saw me as someone else that I might of had a resemblance too.When I first met her she wasn't even afraid of me. She simply cried with joy and laughter. I was not aware of this human behavior. Mostly from the young. It was quite a shock to my system. So shocking that my stomach gave away and let out a loud growling noise as a resoponds to the child's noise. This startled her, but she went back to giggling and hugged me around my abdomen. With my belly gurgling it seems that the child finds to like, no... love that noise. I see her snuggling closer twords it, the softnes

How do I use a shared printer connected to a Windows 2000 Pro PC? I have Mandrake 8.2.
—Sam Dorrough, firstname.lastname@example.com
Check that the printer is shared from the Windows box and that you have Samba installed on the Linux box. Then run printtool on the Linux box to set up access to the printer.
—Christopher Wingert, firstname.lastname@example.com
It is best to share the printer with a Windows box that has a name of eight characters or less. I have had problems with longer names of shared devices. Documentation on Samba and printers can be found at: us1.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html.

I faced this issue a few days back, and I am still struggling with the answer.
We were given a functionality to test for uploading images for a selected car. There was only a
Browse button, and an
Upload button in the page.
We had to test if the image name is getting saved in the format
(make year-car make-car model-car version-unique ID.jpg)
We tested it for a number of different cars and functionality was working fine.
But, we missed out one thing.
There was a stored procedure created for saving these image URLs to the database (it was not shared with us. We normally do black box testing.)
Database column being used to save was of size 100 characters, but the stored procedure was storing image URLs in a variable of length 50 characters
Now, the Image names and URLs were getting saved properly for most cars.
But, for cars where Image URLs got greater than 50 chars in length, data got truncated while saving in the database.
This resulted in a major issue in production, and I was left baffled by how I could have caught this earlier.
Was this a bug that could have been caught by black box testing, or this is the kind of bug you learn to check by experience?

Everyone says Holland is so liberal, so open-minded. Also that sexist harassment is nil here.
Combine Sexist with Racist. Happy Racists.
This happens to me where I live, once a week, but here's a specific example:
I am on my bicycle on my way to the grocery store. Two teenage boys ride on either side and make mocking "ChingChong" noises.
And they stay there, riding alongside me.
I tell them to go away, (Racists!) – they say, in English, "We're not racists."
Yes, I am Asian. No, I am not from China, or of Chinese descent. No, even if I were from China this is not OK.
More often, it's less but the same:
I am on an errand — someone bikes by and sing-songs "China!" and "NiHao!" at me, and they're gone. Happy smiling racists.
It ruins my whole walk. It's racist, and also sexist. Because racism is how they get sexist, and worse.

Hanna, I hear you. Ignorance is ignorance anywhere you go. I live in Holland for the past 6 years and I have come across the same remarks as you have from young boys and girls…not just disenfranchised youth. I've even had people recite items off a Chinese menu at me (tjap tjoy, Babi pangang). The Dutch need to pull their heads out of their asses with their claims of tolerance and being enlightened. Discrimination against females are rampant but it's the big elephant in the room. Even at government offices and universities where I have been working. I have been touched 'playfully' on my schoulders and forehead or told "such a pretty young thing" by colleagues. Add to the fact that you are a foreigner…you've hit the jackpot. The strange thing is I have never experienced so much blatant harassment until I moved to the Netherlands…and I used to live in Asia!

How do I keep squirrels from eating my vegetable seeds?
brazenspiderMay 29, 2008
I planted snowpeas, peas, spinach, lettuce, swiss chard, and radishes and placed them on my balcony last night. This morning, it seems the squirrels ate all of the seeds before I even left for work. I would appreciate any ideas people have for blocking off my vegetable planters. Thanks!

Sorry if this has already been posted, but it's good stuff...http://www.sportspickle.com/features...228-favre.htmlBrett Favres Surgeon Breaks 10 Scalpels Trying to Pierce His Iron Exterior
Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre underwent surgery on Monday to remove bone spurs on his left ankle, but the procedure took eight hours longer than expected due to the surgeon repeatedly breaking his scalpel trying to cut into Favres iron exterior.
The man if he even is a man, and not some kind of robot or superhuman from the future is built like no one else Ive seen, said Dr. Frank Matthews, the surgeon who did the procedure. It was like trying to cut through a diamond coated in stainless steel. After I broke all of my scalpels, I had to call in a guy with a metal saw. And even he wore out five blades before he could break through.
Dr. Matthews said that what he found the most remarkable at the procedure, though, was that Favre was awake throughout the entire thing.
The nurses tried to give him anesthesia, but he refused and said he doesnt feel pain because pain is for wimps, said Dr. Matthews. And he clearly didnt feel pain. Even when we were going at him with the metal saw, he didnt wince. Not once. He just sat there shaving his face with an 8-inch buck knife. And then, when he was done that, he had an alligator delivered so he could wrestle with it to pass the time. Once he got bored with that, he broke its neck with one hand and then ate a snack of nails and glass shards. So, yeah, Im pretty sure that Brett Favre does not feel pain. That, or hes addicted again to painkillers. Regardless, hes amazing and more of a man than Ill ever be. Or that any of us will ever be.
Even though the surgery was difficult, Dr. Matthews says conducting it was an honor.
It was great just to be close to Brett Favre for that long. Hes a true hero, said Dr. Matthews. Plus, it will be great for my career. I cant wait to get this published. Im sure Im the only surgeon in history to close an incision with a spot welder.
One thing they didn't address: how much did he cry?
I will never forgive the Atlanta Falcons for trading Brett. At least they have a new owner the Rankin Smith family had no business owning a football team.
I had said for 20 years that the ultimate goal of the Rankin Smith family was to lose the superbowl a feat they accomplished just before they sold the team.
But I hope the mods let it slide, because it is about Brett Favre after all.
Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. Two things complete your pirate persona: style and swagger. Maybe a little too much swagger sometimes -- but who really cares? Arr!

I thought rebublicans were in favour of a small government and a small bureaucracy, yet they insist on interfering with what people do in their bedrooms? In a truly free society people get to decide for themselves who they want to live with, and they get the same rights regardless of their choice.
The issue of gay marriage is not at all about "interfering with what people do in their bedrooms". Most people opposing gay marriage have no problem with what gay couples do in the bedroom, though given that there used to be sodomy laws this wasn't always the case.
They do have the right to live with who they want to live with. They have all the same rights under the constitution as anyone else. Gay marriage is about changing a legal definition, not acquiring a freedom denied.
They are denied the title of "spouse". It doesn't seem to significant until one is in the hospital and the doctor says only immediate family can see them.
Their actions show them to be hypocrites. Here is an example: Who are the biggest proponents of capitalism? Republicans. Who are the ones who are most against immigrants? Republicans. Yet any good unbiased economist would tell you that part of free trade includes a free flow of people as well as capital. I'll never vote Republican because when I look at their party all I see are angry, racist, fundamentalist, hypocrites. Ron Paul is the only one I like but even he isn't enough to change my mind about them.

Looking for sustained success? Walk on the Edge
DSM started out as a state-owned mining company and is now an international chemistry group. Computer company Apple put music in their business plan and won the jackpot with iTunes. Both organisations were not afraid to widen their horizon and kept close track of the developments at the edges of their industries. You, too, may discover your future business on the edge of your current one.
18 november 2013
What use would a property development company have for 3D printing? What can traditional power companies learn from the increasing amount of renewable energy being generated locally? Do drones have relevant applications for your business? And why do hospitals and doctors need to know that digital applications are on the rise that allow people to make their own diagnoses at home?
Most companies focus on their core business. Questions like these barely cross their minds, either because they don't know the answers or because they are simply not aware of developments like these on the edges of their industries. The reason is that most companies are based on 19th-century business models. They focus on predicting demand and allocating cash as efficiently as possible, which worked fine in a relatively stable economic landscape.
But those days are over, as the steadily decreasing lifespan of products and declining profitability of companies show us. We are currently in a Big Shift, that consists of three waves. The first one: the incredible worldwide growth of our digital infrastructure in terms of bandwidth, computer power and data storage. This is leading to higher productivity, more transparency and better connectivity.
The second wave of the Big Shift is the increasing flexibility of knowledge, talent and capital. Thanks to better connectivity, sharing knowledge is easier than ever; but still many companies remain inward-looking. Talent is less and less inclined to commit to a single company that will put them in a straightjacket, and organisations often attract financing by other means than the traditional bank, for example by crowdsourcing.
The third wave of the Big Shift involves the ability of organisations to adjust their company's fundamentals to these developments, and how that affects markets, companies and individuals. The main thing holding back organisations now is increasing competition, but research shows that their performance will improve once they learn to adjust to their changing environment, and actively participate in knowledge flows outside of their own organisation.
So there is certainly hope, but do you know where to start? How do you investigate the edges of your industry? Since 2007, Deloitte's Center for the Edge in Silicon Valley has been exploring possibilities for traditional and new companies to capitalise on the Big Shift. Executives from all sectors can come to us for clear advice on how to make the most of opportunities on the edges of their industry.
This week, the Center for the Edge will be opening a European branch, as we think Europe and the Netherlands hold a wealth of hidden innovation power. Power that we can harness with you by seizing the opportunities that revolutionary new developments bring for your business.
Are you ready to explore the edges of your industry?
John Hagel is the co-chairman of Deloitte's Center for the Edge in Silicon Valley. Wassili Bertoen is the Director of Center for the Edge Europe and co-founder of Deloitte Innovation BV. For more information about Center for the Edge Europe, please contact Wassili or take a look at our new app.

Saving for college: What families can do today
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — For many families, among the proudest moments for parents is when their children go off to college. And while getting a degree takes hard work and discipline, many don't realize that an equal or greater amount of work and discipline is required to be in a position to pay for it.
Native Utahns Jackie and Shauna Robertson understand the principle.
Jackie Robertson is a human resource professional, Shauna Robertson is a justice court judge. Long before becoming the parents of three high-achieving daughters and before their salaries started to climb they discussed saving for college. Two principles emerged: sacrifice and planning.
"We started identifying areas in which we could save some money," Jackie Robertson said. Those areas included buying savings bonds, certificates of deposit and enlisting the help of a financial planner.
"Each child had accounts … savings, CD's, etc.," Shauna Robertson said. "And there is a (common) pot for all of their in-school needs."
The cost of getting a college education has increased steadily over the past three decades, and so has the rate of debt incurred by students.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the cost of tuition, room and board for a public 4-year institution during the 1980-81 academic year was $2,550, while the cost for a 2-year school was $2,027.
Within 10 years tuition costs skyrocketed 106 percent to $5,243 for a public 4-year school and up 71 percent to $3,467 for 2-year school.
Fast-forward to the 2010-11 school year. Average college costs have risen to $15,918 a year for 4-year public schools and $8,085 at 2-year schools. That's a 524 percent increase during the past three decades for a 4-year school.
Comparatively, tuition costs at private 4-year institutions soared 483 percent over the same time frame from $5,594 in 1980-01 to $32 ,617 in 2010-11.
The Robertson's eldest daughter Jacquenita, 23, is pursuing a doctorate in Pharmacology, while their middle child, Jordan, 19, is in her second year of college. Both attend out-of-state institutions — one public, one private.
The youngest daughter, Joei, 17, is expecting to enroll in college next fall — possibly at an Ivy League school.
With three kids in college simultaneously, maintaining the same level of savings will become more challenging, but the practices put in place two decades ago remain sound.
The Robertsons' said they hoped to save enough money through the various accounts to pay for a majority of their kids' college expenses, with the balance coming from scholarships earned by the children. Thus far, the plan has worked well — paying approximately half for Jacquenita and about 75 percent for Jordan.
Make a plan
Having started over 20 years ago, they were smart for taking such a proactive approach, said Jeff Solomon, financial adviser with Edward Jones Investments.
He suggests that parents consider college savings plans that offer distinct tax advantages, such as the Utah Educational Savings Plan — a nonprofit 529 college savings plan designed to encourage individuals and families to begin saving for the future costs of higher education. (http://www.uesp.org/)
According to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, 529 plans — known legally as "qualified tuition plans" — are sponsored by states, state agencies or educational institutions and are authorized by Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code.
