It was right then, between when I asked about the labyrinth and when she answered me, that I realized the importance of curves, of the thousand places where girls' bodies ease from one place to another, from arc of the foot to ankle to calf, from calf to hip to waist to breast to neck to ski-slope nose to forehead to shoulder to the concave arch of the back to the butt to the etc. I'd noticed curves before, of course, but I had never quite apprehended their
Just like that. From a hundred miles an hour to asleep in a nanosecond. I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together, in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a

Research by scientists from Columbia University and NASA suggests that painting rooftops white can result in temperature drop of over 40 degrees Fahrenheit during summer months (Photo: Erik Drost)
Article Summary
It's long been suggested that white rooftops could help reduce the heat bubble microclimates that surround our cities simply by reflecting solar radiation directly back into space, and in 2010 we reported on NCAR efforts to demonstrate the effect through computer modeling. A new study goes one better, putting the theory into practice and pitting three white materials against one another on three New York rooftops. The results of the study appear to be overwhelmingly positive, with white roof coatings reducing peak rooftop temperatures in summer "by an average of 43 degrees Fahrenheit (about 24 degrees C)."

ESSEX — Athletes from the Mount Abraham, MUHS and VUHS teams competed in the major Essex Invitational Track and Field Meet on Saturday, an event that draws athletes from all divisions from around the state.
No team scores are kept; the meet serves as the final opportunity for athletes to perform well enough to qualify to compete in the New England championship meet.
Several athletes posted top-10 results while achieving that goal, notably VUHS junior Jon Welch, who was second and sixth in two boys' hurdling events.
VERMONT — Like thousands of Vermonters, Kristen Andrews turned to the food assistance program 3SquaresVT when she had exhausted all other options. In the fall of 2011 her income dropped, and the local educator and mother of four filed an application for help from the federally funded program formerly called Food Stamps.
But Andrews, a Lincoln resident, never expected the application would lead to a mistake that doubled her family's health insurance premium. And she couldn't have foreseen the long and arduous process of straightening it out.
CORNWALL — Four Addison Central Supervisory Union schools are considering hosting solar arrays as a means of lowering their respective electricity bills while providing on-site renewable energy lessons for their students.

The respective directors of those schools are now considering 15-year contracts with AER to install solar trackers of varying sizes on-site or on nearby municipal property.

In a land where the main racket sport involves a table and paddles, and star pingpong athletes are treated like demigods, China now aims to dominate tennis on grass, clay and hard courts.
During the U.S. Open tennis grand slam in New York, a Chinese delegation unveiled the $200 million futuristic Qi Zhong tennis complex in Shanghai for the international tennis tournament, the Masters Cup, in November. Although no Chinese player graces the Top 10 rankings on the men's or women's side, many experts say it's only a matter of years before China sweeps tennis trophies, especially with the country's push to join the country club set and to get everyone whacking a yellow ball.
Tennis, popular with China's nouveau riche and the Politburo but still relatively unknown in the countryside, has lobbed to the front of the government's priority list as China raises its sporting profile ahead of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Tennis' organizing body for men, the Association of Tennis Professionals, couldn't be happier. China not only has cash to spend but its booming population represents a grand slam of potential recreational players that could propel tennis' popularity to the stratosphere.
"The Qi Zhong stadium is a new generation of tennis facility which will create even more commitment and interest in the Tennis Masters Cup around the world," said Jiang Lan, secretary general of the Tennis Masters Cup organizing committee.
The weeklong tournament caps off each season by gathering the top eight ranked male players to duke it out in singles and doubles play. Shanghai will host the tournament for the next two years.
After a video presentation of the 15,000-seat, eight-piece, sliding, magnolia-shaped glass roof, Jiang said that upon full completion, the center would be Asia's largest tennis facility, with 40 indoor and outdoor courts. Work has started on the 200-acre sports complex, which will become a place to develop Chinese equivalents of Lindsay Davenport and Roger Federer, according to Jiang.
"It is through efforts like that, that we hope to develop a Yao Ming of tennis," he said, referring to the Chinese superstar who slam-dunked his way into the NBA.
Tennis expert Bud Collins agrees.
"It's only a question of time before the Chinese develop good players," said Collins. Collins explained that money did the talking in securing a major tournament in a place that has a short tennis history.
So short, in fact, that ATP's chief executive officer Mark Miles likened one of the first major tennis tournaments in mainland China to a movie being badly dubbed.
"They [Chinese audiences] wanted to see the sport but it was like the soundtrack on the video was out of sync, they would applaud sort of during the match or just in the middle of an overhead," Miles said of a 1993 Shanghai tournament.
Tennis nonetheless grew. As China's economy revved up, leisure time and padded wallets meant more Chinese could pursue Western-style pursuits like golf and tennis.

Mariel Hemingway to speak on healthy living at Seaside Center
Go into any bookstore and you'll find separate sections for books about homes, food, exercise and the spiritual rewards of silent reflection.
For actress and writer Mariel Hemingway, however, life is not so neatly subdivided.
"Life is the integration of many things," she said in a phone interview about an upcoming talk in Encinitas and her new book, "Healthy Living From the Inside Out," released in January.
"What I love about my book is it's four books in one," she said. "What I'm doing is saying, 'My life is not just one thing. Would it be better if we realize that these four things are integrated?' If we can see them working in concert with one another, you're in a better place."
Hemingway, granddaughter of novelist Ernest Hemingway, is best known for her film career, which earned her an Oscar nomination as a teenager for her breakout performance in Woody Allen's "Manhattan."
Although acting is her profession, Hemingway said holistic health is her passion, a passion that brings her to Encinitas for a talk at 7 p.m. July 20 at Seaside Center for Spiritual Living, 1613 Lake Drive.
"I love Encinitas," said Hemingway, who said she enjoys visiting the Self-Realization Fellowship. "It's just such a beautiful area."
Hemingway said she runs retreats and speaks about holistic health about three times a month. She said she thought Seaside was a perfect fit for her talk.
"It's about integrating your food and home and silence as a path in life," she said. "It's sort of like your pathway into your own peace, and I thought it was just the perfect place for me to talk about my passion for healthy living, but on a deeper level that embodies not just food and exercise, but spirit."
Her talk, "How to Experience and Stay Present in Your Life," is based on principles of her book. Hemingway said answering audience questions is a large part of her sessions.
"I'll talk about spirit, experiencing yourself and making healthy choices in all aspects of your life," she said.
Growing up with a mother who had cancer and a father who had heart disease, Hemingway said her interest in health began when she was 16.
"It was an obsession at first," she said. "Now it's a passion and a longing to share, whereas before it was a survival technique for myself."
Hemingway's early obsession with health led her to a regimen of heavy exercise and dieting.
"I pushed myself," she said. "I overexercised. I underate. I didn't eat fat because that seemed to be the thing at the time."
Finally, Hemingway said that instead of following the latest trend, she came to realize that her mother's ways may have been the best.
"The way my mother ate when I was a kid was probably a healthy regimen," she said. "A little bit of everything. I started to realize that there was a better path. It was a healthy choice for me."
Hemingway said she began to see the importance of balance, not just in diet, but in everything.

TIRUCHI: Collector T. Soundiah inaugurated an adolescent anaemia control programme organised by Parents Trust and Trichy Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Society (TRIOGS), at the Government Girls Higher Secondary Schoolhere on Wednesday.
The haemoglobin level of over 1,000 girl students of the school would be checked in the 11 days starting from Thursday.
Folic acid and iron tablets will be distributed free to those students found to be anaemic. Inaugurating the programme, the Collector said that adolescence was crucial for children as they undergo physical and psychological changes. Hence, it was essential for the student community to keep themselves healthy.
Fifty per cent of women who had died at the time of pregnancy in the district were found to be anaemic. The aim of implementing the nutritious noon meal scheme with eggs thrice a week was to ensure that poor children get healthy food, he said.
Education, he emphasised, was the greatest asset for the children while exhorting the students to set a goal in their lives. T. Jayanthi Ranee, managing trustee, Parents Trust, said that 25 per cent of the country's population were adolescents and not all of them were healthy. As many as 100 girl students would be checked under the anaemia control programme every day, she said adding that a follow-up would be done after three months.
The Collector distributed prizes to toppers in SSLC and Plus Two examinations on the occasion.

Qualls, Astros let lead slip away in 9th, A's win
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Chad Qualls stared into his locker, going over how things got away from him.
It was a sinking feeling for the Houston Astros and the sinkerballing reliever.
Houston lost its sixth in a row Saturday when Josh Reddick hit an RBI single that capped a three-run rally in the ninth inning that lifted the Oakland Athletics to a 4-3 victory.
"It's frustrating, especially for me," Qualls said. "It was a chance to win the game. (Brett) Oberholtzer pitched his heart out, he did a heck of a job. To come away with nothing is disappointing."
Oberholtzer, who spent Friday night in bed feeling ill, gave the Astros a good outing. Good enough to win most days.
"He did a tremendous job to go out and give us the start he gave us," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "It's a tough loss, especially as well as we played."
Oberholtzer allowed one run on eight hits in 5 2-3 innings. He walked two and struck out three.
Anthony Bass inherited a tight situation in the sixth, walking Coco Crisp to load the bases with two outs before inducing Jed Lowrie to pop up to shortstop.
Bass and Matt Albers got the Astros to the ninth still holding onto a 3-1 lead.
"All week long I have been under the weather," Oberholtzer said. "The last two days were the roughest. I had to get out of bed, get into the hot tub and get ready to pitch. Sure it's tough, but that's baseball."
Qualls (0-1) gave up a home run to Lowrie leading off the ninth. He walked Josh Donaldson and Yoenis Cespedes singled before Qualls struck out John Jaso.
"My sinker was flat and looking back on it, I didn't get any ground balls, which is surprising for me," Qualls said. "I was just feeling like I was getting into a groove when I got sick, but that's no excuse. You have to go out and get outs. I'll get it back."
Alberto Callaspo singled in the tying run and Reddick singled home the game-winner.
"Our bullpen has been taxed and he was the most rested," Porter said. "We had the right guys out there. We just didn't get it done."
Jonathan Villar homered and scored twice for the Astros.
Dan Otero (3-0) pitched the ninth for the win after starter Scott Kazmir had gone eight strong innings.
A day after scoring seven runs in the first inning and hitting four home runs overall, the A's were kept mostly quiet until their outburst in the ninth.
The Athletics' rally in the ninth spoiled a solid effort from Oberholtzer, who remains winless in four starts. He pitched with runners on in each of the first five innings but limited the damage each time.
The Astros got to Kazmir early when Villar homered on an 0-2 pitch in the third. Villar also doubled off the wall in left-center in the fifth and scored on a throwing error by catcher Derek Norris.

No-shows mark absentee voting; poll chief picks 9
Although only 12 Senate seats are at stake in next month's midterm elections, Commission on Elections (Comelec) Chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr. listed down the names of 23 candidates.
Then he cut down the list to 12 names to match the vacancies in the Senate.
But when his turn to vote early came on Monday, Brillantes voted for only nine candidates.
"What happened?" reporters asked him at Comelec headquarters.
"I wasn't convinced about their qualifications," Brillantes said, referring to the three candidates he had stricken off his list.
As for the nine he voted for, he said he knew them personally.
Of the nine candidates who won the election chief's nod, three belonged to the administration Team PNoy, three to the opposition United Nationalist Alliance, and three were independent candidates.
He did not disclose their names. He voted for a party list, but also did not say which of the more than 130 party-list groups it was.
Having performed his civic duty, Brillantes reminded voters registered for the absentee balloting that they have only until Tuesday to vote.
Among the absentee voters are 575 journalists who registered to vote early, as they will be assigned to far-flung places on Election Day, May 13.
Fifty-five journalists voted on Sunday, the start of the three-day absentee balloting.
Not voting
But neither absentee voter nor registered voter is the Comelec's press officer, James Jimenez, who admitted last week that he had been "deactivated."
That means he did not vote in the last two elections—in 2010 and in 2007.
To be able to vote again, Jimenez must register with the Comelec, from where he has been so busy advising voters on election matters that he had forgotten to handle his own electoral affairs.
Brillantes said he was disappointed with the turnout at the absentee voting for journalists.
"Didn't election lawyer Romulo Macalintal, who represented the media in petitioning the Comelec to allow absentee voting for journalists, say that about 500,000 people from the industry would benefit from the privilege?
"So why did only 575 register for it, and when the big day came, only 55 voted?
"Well, maybe more will come to vote today," Brillantes said.
"You know how it is with Filipinos, they scramble at the last minute," he added.
Until this year, only government officials and employees, teachers, policemen and soldiers assigned to faraway places on Election Day were allowed to vote early.
After arguing for years that they, too, should be allowed to vote early, journalists finally managed to lobby for the privilege this year. And won it.
Whether the rest of the 575 who signed up to vote early will turn up and cast ballots on Tuesday will not be known until Wednesday.
Comelec records showed that only 12,732 voters registered for local absentee voting for this year's elections.
The figure is lower than the 30,000 recorded for the May 2010 elections.
Reports said 355 policemen in Eastern Visayas cast absentee ballots on Monday.
Senior Supt. Roel Acidre, chief of the Police Community Relations Office in Eastern Visayas, said 283 of the early voters were from the Regional Public Safety Battalion based in Capoocan town, Leyte province.
The rest were from other police offices in the region.
Disappointing turnout
Election officer Danilo Cullo said absentee voting was held in four places in Davao City but the turnout was disappointing.
Cullo said 13 journalists cast absentee ballots.
He could not say how many other absentee voters came to vote. He said only a few came because most voters preferred to vote on Election Day.
The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) reported that 1,643 more Filipinos in Saudi Arabia have cast overseas absentee ballots for the May 13 elections, bringing to 5,289 the total of early ballots cast in the Middle East kingdom since early balloting started a week ago.
The Comelec listed the Middle East (281,372) as the region with the highest number of overseas absentee voters worldwide, followed by Asia (228,309), Americas (125,604) and Europe (75,666).
A total of 26,808 seafarers have also cast overseas absentee votes, the Comelec said.—With reports from Jerry E. Esplanada in Manila; Joey Gabieta, Inquirer Visayas; and Germelina Lacorte, Inquirer Mindanao

Indian PM wants peace pact with Pakistan
AMRITSAR, India (Reuters) – Indian Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh called on Friday for a "treaty of peace, security and
friendship" with Pakistan that would replace decades of
hostility with a common quest for progress.
"The time has come to leave behind the animosities and the
misgivings of the past and to think the unthinkable of moving
together in pursuit of our common objective of getting rid of
chronic poverty, ignorance and disease," Singh said.
"I make this offer to the people of Pakistan on this
historic occasion," Singh said in the northern Indian Sikh holy
city of Amritsar before inaugurating a new bus service between
the two countries.
"I am sure the leadership of Pakistan will reciprocate."
Singh said India was committed to the peace process, adding
that it could bring enormous economic benefits to the people of
both sides. And there was a growing recognition in both
countries that "terrorism is an enemy of civilized societies."
"General (Pervez) Musharraf has taken concrete steps to
curb terrorism and I compliment him for that. But more needs to
be done in the interest of both India and Pakistan," Singh
said, referring to the Pakistani president.
India accuses Pakistan of supporting Islamic militants
fighting Indian rule in Kashmir, the cause of two of three wars
between the neighbors. More than 45,000 people have died since
the Kashmir revolt broke out in 1989, Indian officials say.
Pakistan welcomed Singh's comments.
"We believe the speech reflects many positive sentiments
and a strong acknowledgement of the need to move forward on
Jammu and Kashmir and other issues," Foreign Ministry
spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam said in Islamabad.
The bus service links the holiest site of the Sikh
religion, Amritsar and its Golden Temple, with Nankana Sahib in
Pakistan, the birthplace of the religion's founder, Guru Nanak.
Singh, a Sikh, called it another step on the road to peace
between the nuclear-armed rivals, and a day of hope for the
divided state of Punjab, scene of hundreds of thousands of
deaths during the partition of the subcontinent in 1947.
"Punjab has seen many years of waste and violence. But the
past is behind us," Singh said.
Sikhs dressed in loose satin clothes and colorful turbans
danced to the beat of drums as the bus set off. The
gold-painted vehicle was draped in marigolds and decorated with
the flags of India and Pakistan.
Relations between India and Pakistan have improved since
peace talks were launched in 2004 but there has been little
progress in solving their core dispute over Kashmir.
Singh said it was a mistake for Pakistan to link
normalization of other relations to finding a solution to the
dispute over the Himalayan region.
"But we are not afraid of discussing Jammu and Kashmir or
of finding pragmatic, practical solutions to resolve this issue
as well," he said, recommending a step-by-step approach.
Singh said both sides should begin a dialogue with people
in the parts of Kashmir they control, and work toward making
borders redundant by allowing people to move freely across
"It is a good proposal but how can you have such a treaty
without settlement of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute?," asked
former Pakistani Foreign Secretary Niaz A. Naik. "Now it is for
our side to explore back channel contacts to ascertain what
proposals he has in mind to make this treaty."
But Singh's words received a lukewarm welcome from Kashmir
and the head of the moderate wing of the separatist All Parties
Hurriyat Conference, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq. He told Reuters much
more was needed than confidence-building measures.
"If the prime minister is sincere he should announce
demilitarization in Kashmir, stop human rights violations and
find a solution of the problem in accordance with the wishes of
the people of Jammu and Kashmir," Farooq said.

Zeeshan Haider in ISLAMABAD)

That's less true is you are purely concerned about pitching* at anchor. Then extra beamwidth will really help you. I find that our boat doesn't pitch that much usually. (50' boat, 10 foot water depth, 3 miles of fetch, monohull.) But the 30 foot boats around us have pitched up and down 20 degrees from horizontal in a blow. (Remember Mainsails videos of anchorages up there?) That's not the normal conditions at the anchorage, but it is a time when you would want connectivity to see where the storm is going.
As another thought on this, the TCP/IP protocols have some provision for lost packets, IIRC, so if you have the occasional extra pitch, you may still have service -- it simply retransmits that part of the packet that was lost.
Only for TCP connections, not UDP ones.
Boats usally don't rock (actually roll) at a mooring/anchor as much as they simply pitch with the approching wind swell. That is, unless you are exposed to swells at your anchorage, in which case you may actually need a big verticle beamwidth to accomodate more intense rolling.
I believe that for 95% of what I need, a high-gain, omni-directional antenna works best. 12 db is great. I'd go even higher (and narrower beamwidth) if I could.
This is why I generally recommend a NS2 type device rather than a Bullet with Omni setup for most monohulls.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Hi i just purchased a file that is near perfect for my needs. However it does not have deeplinking which I really require.
I am sure a few days ago I read on the forum somewhere others talking about deeplinking and I think P&K recommended a book or website to learn about it.
Done a search but cannot find the thread, can anyone recommend a good starting point.
what is deeplinking?
Check out this site: http://www.asual.com/swfaddress/
This is a method of using deeplinking, and I think its very easy too. The problem with adding deeplinking to an existing site, is that youll have to rewrite a lot (most of the time though), because the menu needs to work in a totally different way.
If you have a bit of coding knowledge, youll soon see the logic behind it though
regbolD, deeplinking is using flash to change the addressbar of your browser. Also, when you change the address yourself, flash recognizes that and changes to the correct page. You can search for items here on FD with deeplinking, so you can see what I mean.
yes, it fairly complicated to incorporate deeplinking in the existing project.
Yes it is but sometimes, according to the available website it is so easy. If from the beginning the website is organized and well written then you can install deeplinking in few minutes. For example, if the menu buttons call a function that calls the right page: callPage(home), callPage(contact).... then u can call this function in onChange function! callPage(swfaddressValue) the values from swf address can be home and contact..
This is why some files are different! This is why some programmers are better that the rest. {result is the same, but the code is different =easy modifications and adjustments: WHAT STOCK FILES ARE ALL ABOUT }
SimplyDo, your absolutely right, its all about how the file has been coded. Ive been using the call-function method since Ive started using DeepLinking too, because its very easy to change it into any other function. Every button that links to a certain page, just calls the same function, and that function determines which page to show. If you have that kind of coding, you can just place SWFAddress between the onRelease and page-change-function, et voila!
Cheers for the help, looks like i'm going to be busier than I thought

I really don't want to slam ARR here because I've always liked FF games and I really want it to do well but let's be honest here, it doesn't seem to bring alot of new to the table.
It seems to have very pretty graphics but so do plenty of MMOs i.e. Tera. And sure it's detailed but so are plenty of games i.e GW2. Maybe a good story but that didn't do much for TOR. I know it isn't the combat... I see absolutely no difference from that and a game from 2005. Yet, Everyone that plays it seems to really like and enjoy the game. What's more strange is that ARR doesn't seem to have a hate following like many of it's competitors do for whatever reason. From never playing ARR on the outside looking in I can't see what the big draw to the game is and I hope someone can explain it to me.
What is the major draw in ARR that pulls you back enough to make it your favorite new MMO? Is the story really that good? Is the world really immersive? That would make sense combined with the music I'm sure square put into the game. Maybe it just gets alot more fun later on? What is about the game that makes it so good for you?
If WoW was released today even in its' entirety it would be f2p in 3 months.

Hmm.... maybe because it is so much better than the original FFIV?
I don't know if it is going to be a favorite, but they are giving me a free month to try it out. Also the massive undertaking to completely revamp the game - I admire that they admitted they made mistakes and are attempting to fix it.
Whether they succeed or not - I don't know. I played about 2 hours of beta 2. Decided I was going to give it a try and then didn't play again as I want it to be fresh. I would have probably played more if I was going to have to decide whether I wanted to buy it again (actually I probably wouldn't have bought it again I was so disappointed with the first version - so it is a good idea that they are letting everyone that bought 1.0 try it out :) )

There is so much "extra" and it's all done along the journey, with multitudes of goals to strive for as well as being fun and immersive. The music, sound and graphics are top notch as is the "world" feeling. The storyline is just awesome and paced well, much better than SWTOR with it's really odd pacing that would put me off of the story altogether.
Then you have the roles being nice and solid and every class having it's own story and feel and place in the world and this includes crafting and gathering, all on ONE character which in turn creates a better community in my opinion because people are now actually held a bit more accountable for their actions.
So yeah, that's basically it in a nutshell. Obviously not everyone is going to enjoy an MMORPG that doesn't innovate(although I think it does in ways that have yet to be echoed through out the genre, like the one character any class/job any time aspect and the progression systems that peel back like an onion showing multiple layers of them) but there is quite a following of those like myself itching for this type of game just brought to the modern era with all the new bells and whistles of today's computers.

I'm not sure if my emotions are getting the best of me since I love Final Fantasy in general but, I love the game right now because it is so well optimized and, I feel like my attacks actually have some weight to them. Also the combat has a more strategic element to it that differs from other TT games such as combos, more damage from certain angels, GCD and the limit break system all add to the combat as well.
I also love the class/job system where I can switch whenever I feel the urge to play a different style instead of having to remake a character..not to mention the crafting is worlds better than most MMOs.
I could go on all day about what I like but all this could not mean anything to you so it's best to just try it out if you have the money of course.
edit: The story is also a major draw for me, its very compelling.

I don't understand why gamers decided that a game had to bring something new to the table. I don't mean this in a bad way. New is good and we should always be innovating but you don't always have to throw the baby out with the bathwater to improve things. That's the thing FFXIV has done for me and why I will play it. Instead of choosing one gimick that is "new" and will focusing on this to the detriment of the rest of the game as some games have done (then shout about how they're new an innovative). FFXIV decided to take features that some gamers like and polish or tweak it to fit in their world. There is so much do in this game and no one way to go about doing them. Eorzea fills like a world to inhabit instead of just a place I visit for a few hours.
FFXIV:ARR has become the game I was hoping 1.0 was going to be! :D I'm super excited and can't wait for release!

Does it really need to offer something new? or can it just offer a solid MMO experience?

Biggest thing for me is it's not trying to be some innovative, genre-redefining game. It's just trying to be a good old school style MMORPG which seems to be a rather big appeal to a lot of people who are probably sick of all these shallow action RPGs with people rolling around everywhere (Tera, GW2). FFXIV ARR has heart and soul.
It also helps that it is very well polished, has an interesting story, and has tons of things to do other than level, PvP, or raid.

I am giving this game a chance for 2 reasons:
1: FFXI was and is a very fun game and doesn't hold your hand. Same can be said about all previous non mmo ff titles. FF titles are in my eyes just as much a game as it is art and a story.
2: Square Enix admitted it made a mistake and corrected it in my opinion, unlike other publishers weve seen that will go unnamed that don't care about the customers and will release an awful title take your money and be done with it. If im going to pledge a monthly sub to a company id rather pledge it to one that makes quality games.

This is not the first time I've seen this explanation presented, but it honestly doesn't make any sense. And I've been playing FFXIV since closed beta, and played the original launch as well.
- Multiple content paths that aren't just about lvling & gear. Like what? There are multiple content paths, but this entire game is oriented around lvls & gear. It's your typical vertically progressing gear-grinder.
- Old school feel. Really? Because as someone who started on MMOs like UO and EQ, I don't see much oldschool at all in FFXIV. It's not 'oldschool' enough to be considered new or refreshing. It's about oldschool as SWTOR is, tbh. It has very few features one would recognize from an older game, it has modernized combat (if still tab-target based), dynamic events, dungeon lobbying, etc. None of those things are old school. Polished? Definitely, but not old school.
Perhaps the most believable explanation I've heard for this game, so far, is that people enjoy it's simplicity, and it's aesthetics. There's no denying that FF tends to not disappoint when it comes to graphics. Something most people tend to jump on, when it comes to new games. It's new, it's shiny, people want it.
Essentially, it's the only game right now that isn't really trying to do anything different. It's perfectly status-quo when it comes to themepark MMOs. And I suppose, in a way, that makes sense to get excited about.

I'm usually the person to give a long-winded explanation here, but after doing it many times in many threads on this site, I'm just going to say:
Play it. If you aren't sucked in, you are either overanalyzing things or the game is not for you. Plain and simple. Everyone who has played the game and is excited for it intuitively knows why they are, and trying to dissect it into game mechanics always falls short of capturing what really excites those people.
If you absolutely won't accept such an answer (which is perfectly valid in my view)...
-The Community
-Solid/polished mechanics
-It's Final Fantasy.

i can do lots of things that are fun and progress my character, while not feeling pressured about it. most other games i feel like its just a massive rush to endgame then thats it. i feel like in this game i can take my time and not feel penailized about it. if i decide to do change class or do some sort of crafting or gathering instead, its OK because its all still on the same character and leveling other classes actually helps out your primary class by granting access to new skills. plus the community is so nice and the game is so immersive that i dont have to rush to endgame since i am already having fun right now.
also looking forward to housing and other stuff.
Most memorable games: AoC(Tryanny PvP), RIFT, GW, GW2, Ragnarok Online, Aion, FFXI, FFXIV, Secret World, League of Legends (Silver II rank)

The biggest reason I like it is that it let's you play the game however you want without punishing you. Want to do a bunch of quests, go for it. Feel like just being lazy and killing mobs, go ahead and watch your level go up just as fast. Want to only dungeon run, yup, you can do that too. Did you like the dynamic events in GW2, those are here for your leveling purposes as well.
Of course we all know the real reason though...

The Critical Hit Pretzel!
Theres just a mix of all the elements it has. The class system, while not as great as FFXI is still drawing and entertaining to me. The graphics, the animation, the story. It just seems to mix in so many elements in just the right way that it appeals to me. Personally jumping in a dungeon and seeing that crowd control was useful, even in a low level dungeon made me oogle at how relightful it was as simple as it is and how it can be trivialized I'm sure easily.
Its one of those games that, while I don't think its the best thing out there, it just has that attraction to me, perhaps a guilty pleasure from. It knows it doesn't have to do stuff new to be good, it keeps things very old school in style. I think its learning to take old with new, something games like GW2 I feel suffers greatly for (aka its very lack luster combat and very reparative feeling heart quests) or SWTOR trying for that story focus and not doing it right. I think its how it uses moderation in which it gives those elements in gentle doses that it doesn't overwhelm or even stand out like a sore thumb and can be enjoyed because of it.
That is not to say of course that a new game can't work with new mechanics and sell them well. Games like Tera did an amazing job at introducing a great new combat system into the MMO market place (even if many other areas of it were 'meh') or heck take a look at the Dungeon Crawl scene with path of Exile which ended up scrapping the system everyone knows and loves and changing how the 'leveling' works with the passive grid and skill gem combinations.
In short: I feel that its attempt to very gently bridge the gap and mix elements in that are new rather then revamp everything helps to give that draw in that doesn't alienate people, while also helping to maintain solid mechanics behind it. I'll admit i don't think its a top game (at least looking at it objectively, on here considering what the 'top' games are, it probably would be since those scores are quite terribly wrong if looking at each of the games critically) but one I find great enjoyment from.

hehe I feel like this question gets raised every other day around here ;p
All of the various game systems in FFXIV are robust. There are no afterthoughts in this game. That in and of itself makes it unique and dare I say innovative. It makes me want to play it!

Just pay the 30 bucks and try it. It has a good storyline, music, lore, graphics, combat (2.5 GCD and tab targeting), cool classes, crafting, and good group dynamics. You wanna know what makes it special? All of the above mentioned things being high quality and fun.

- Strong Cohesive Leadership. From the beginning,GEF has benefitted from committed leaders who share a unified vision ofwhat the organization can achieve, and a uniform philosophy ofdevelopment.
Programs: In 2008 GEF launched the Kenya Leadership Program in response to the complex educational needs of Kenyan orphans. Vast numbers of poor Kenyan orphans are unable to complete high school because they cannot afford the school fees.. Many of the poor children who actually complete secondary school remain trapped in poverty because they lack the skills and network of support to put their education to use. A classroom education, while critical, does not provide most impoverished orphans with the skills, experiences and relationships they need in order to find employment and reach their full potential. The GEF Leadership Program was specifically created in response to this challenge. It provides impoverished Kenyan orphans and vulnerable youth, particularly young women, with a carefully developed program, including: scholarships for four years of high school; skills training through skill building workshops, experiential learning opportunities, and community service projects; and a network of supportive relationships through peer support groups, university student mentors, and adult coaches and advisors. Partners in the Leadership Program include secondary schools, a Kenyan university and Kenyan non-profits. In addition, GEF is advised by a Kenyan business and civic leaders.

We all know Miley Cyrus is a big time stoner. She talks about it, sings about it, and of course there were those photos of her smoking weed on her patio.
But never has she posted a photo this stoner-ific.
Behind-the-scenes at Miley's video shoot for "Wrecking Ball," director Terry Richardson snapped this photo of the pop star chilling out with both a joint and a cigarette in her mouth, just like Rihanna.
If any of Miley's fans still think the "Party with Molly" line is actually "Party with Miley," this should be the proof you need that Miley is a professional druggie, but not in the Lamar Odom way, in the fun party way. You know, like a Paris Hilton druggie.
In related news, Miley's new video "Wrecking Ball" was viewed 12.3 million times in just one day, making it the most viewed video on Vevo.
We should mention that she's completely naked in the video, so really, she's now competing in the softcore p*rn market.

Early Christmas gift list–from flavored coffee to 'pinipig suman'
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, well at least in the next two days it will. And what better way to celebrate the holidays than by waking up to 12 different flavors of coffee for each of the 12 days of Christmas.
Robert Francisco of Boyd's Coffee recently came up with a dozen holiday flavors that are unlike many of those available.
Francisco's coffees are a delight not just for their aroma but also for their taste.
I have been a flavored coffee fan for years. Unfortunately there are many brands that do not allow you to enjoy the whole experience. Some just have luscious aroma but have lackluster taste.
This is how Boyd's coffee is different.
I had the most wonderful time tasting some of the variants during the World Food Expo; each one stayed true, in character and form—the Cinnamon Ginger Bread, Crispy Oatmeal Crumble and Hazelnut tasted exactly as they should (the hazelnut was earthier, nuttier, muskier than those I've tried). Each is well rounded, full—in flavor, with its own identity and not acidic.
The other flavors I have yet to try are Butter Rhum, Caramel Nut, Roasted Caramel, Irish Crème, Butterscotch, Caramel Kettle Corn, Toffee, Caramel Hazelnut Cream and Cinnamon Hazelnut.
I learned from Francisco that he makes his coffee with only high-grown Arabica, which is sweet, nutty balanced and clean, with mild sharpness, perfect for flavoring.
"All our coffee varieties are freshly roasted. We roast, and, in the case of our Christmas coffees, flavor the beans only when you order."
Francisco's coffee uses oils based on the quality and their capacity to make their coffee taste as close and as natural to their respective flavors as possible.
Let us enjoy the first of our many Christmas cups of coffee. They're best enjoyed with milk and sugar, lalo na kung walang true love!
Odor-free ref mat
Aside from flavored coffee, another Christmas gift idea is a refrigerator mat.
My refrigerator smells so good, thanks to Klin-Tec mats. It smells so antiseptic. I am checking how long the mats help make fresh produce last. I've found them effective in reducing odor.
According to the literature, the mats absorb ethylene gas coming from the ripening fruits and vegetables. The mats also have anti-bacterial properties that help food stay fresh longer.
Klin-tec mats slow down the ripening process and thus, allow the fruits and vegetables to retain their nutrients.
The distributor's webpage (www.sweetlinkph) explained: "Klin-Tec mats take advantage of the zeolite properties and uses it in conjunction with other antibacterial agents to produce the "Zeolith mix." This mix is embedded in the surface of the Klin-Tec mat, where it absorbs the moisture from the surrounding air as well as odors. The anti-microbial agents inhibit the growth of bacteria both on the surface of the mat and in the adjacent areas."
Nelson Co, its distributor, says that the best way to use it is to cut the Klin-Tec mat to size and use it anywhere you store fresh fruits, vegetables and dairy (refrigerator crisper, fruit bowl, where the dairy products are, and even the potato and onion baskets). The mats add one to three days to shelf life.
They also eliminate the need to wrap everything in newspaper. The mats are good for 24 months, based on the studies.
Pinipig suman
I recently tried a fantastic pinipig suman when I went to the Northeast Greenhills Sunday market.
It was pleasantly sweet, chewy and stuffed with ube and leche flan. It was nicely packaged too.
Kudos to Aging Mercado for her fantastic homemade suman.
Another discovery I made that Sunday and a must-try is Glen's tinapang bangus. It is to-die-for!
It is everything you want a tinapang bangus to be—salted just right, firm yet soft and moist, smoked yet done mildly. Super!
His other tinapa are also good—the salinas, galunggong, tamban and tilapia. What I just learned and must savor is his tinapang salmon.

CAPRICORN [December 22–January 19] "The bear must deal with 20 obstacles, and each one of them involves pears," says the Sufi proverb, "because the bear adores pears." That's a twisty truth worth meditating on, Capricorn. I suspect that the gifts coming your way will bring their own unique problems; the dreams you're in love with will generate new dilemmas to solve. By no means does this imply that you should avoid accepting the gifts or pursuing your dreams. Part of the fun of doing great things is dealing with the changes they generate!
AQUARIUS [January 20–February 18] On behalf of all us non-Aquarians, I'd like to express our appreciation for the experiments you've been performing. Please don't be discouraged just because the results thus far have been inconclusive and left you feeling a trifle rudderless. We feel confident that, sooner or later, you'll come up with discoveries that will have bottom-line value to both you and the rest of us. We'd also like to apologize for the shortsighted and timid types among us who are accusing you of being unrealistic or overly optimistic. Please keep trying those novel approaches and making those imaginative forays.
PISCES [February 19–March 20] While reviewing the work of Angelina Jolie in the film Taking Lives, A.O. Scott called her "the flesh-and-blood actress most likely to be mistaken for a computer-generated special effect." I don't expect you to rival Jolie's odd talent, but I wonder if maybe you'll be seeing a lot of that kind of stuff in the world around you. Some of the characters who will be advancing the plotlines in your life story may seem to be able to breathe fire, walk through walls, or change the weather at will. At the very least, you'll witness phenomena that resemble optical illusions. My advice: Try to get these exotic outbreaks to work for you rather than against you. Embrace them, don't fear them.
