Rated 5 out of 5 by bonamassagirl Fierce! Fun, funky. I canât rave enough about this boot. The quality and attention to detail for starters is amazing. Combined with the top quality thick leather and the sturdy double stitching these should last a very long time. The lightweight lug sole is a huge plus as well. There is a hidden thin bendable (metal?) piece stitched into the shaft seams running up the outer side and top rim of the boot that allows you to slouch or bend those sections to the desired position/angle you want, or you can leave them straight. VERY clever! Easily changes the look of the boot any way you wish. The distressing is spot on, and the (removable) jeweled strap adds another clever edge. Pair these with some tanned legs and shorts, skirts, dresses, skinny jeansâ¦anything! The ONLY thing I would change about these would be to give them a little bit higher heel. Worth every penny. Buy them. 4.19.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sdr206 Sick FIERCE is right. These are the most badass boots. Perfect combo of ruggedness and cool. I'm a size 7.5 and the 8 was perfect. The leather is indeed stiff and doesn't appear as supple as in the pics, but that will change w/ wear n tear. There's just so so many ways you play with these: remove the stud belt and fold them out or down. I wore w/ brown leggings and the FP ivory indie goddess tunic. All gurus say we must love ourselves. Well I couldn't help but love myself after seeing me in this outfit. 6.3.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by triplelll very nice These boots are exactly as pictured and well made. The leather is very stiff so make sure you get your true size or one size large if you plan on wearing thick socks. The sizing on the boot is the UK size for example I ordered US size 8 and they came with 6 stamped on the bottom. Do not worry it is the UK size. Cant wait to wear them ad think it will take some time to break them in. Rare to see double stitching on something other than a high end items. The little strappy can be removed so you could add your own touch with other belts! Love them and no regrets. 4.3.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by kkuhary gorg these boots are perfecto. if you want a slight boho/tough look...these are your boots. i usually order boots a half size or whole size bigger, I ended up ordering my true size 7 and they were just right. bonus: my husband loves them. wear with dresses, leggings and tapered denim. 2.4.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by GypsyH Beautiful!! I just received these gorgeous boots in black (please restock them in brown too!!) and I think they're just beautiful. A lot "tougher" than my typical style and such a wonderful addition. The fit seems true to size. I am not usually one to wear structured boots so they are snug across the top of my foot and in the toe area but I think they will break in nicely. I have narrow feet so I was able to slip into my normal size with a thin sock (not a boot sock for sure) without unzipping. They're unique, I love the studded band and the way the top hangs open on the outside. They're just beautiful. If you're on the fence, order them! If they ever come back in my size in a brown I'll buy them immediately 1.24.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by TexJoy Addison Military Boot Overall a high quality good looking boot. But, poor design on the embellished strap that wraps around the boot and snaps. The snap will pop off and the strap falls off the boot. I lost a strap while at a soccer game and had to retrace my steps and finally found it. Now I have to figure out a way to keep the strap on without having to worry about losing it again. Also, I bought a size 6. Typically I wear a 6 1/2 to 7. The size 6 fit perfect. 2.4.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by cpebbles AMAZING BOOTS!!!! These are the most amazing boots I have ever owned!! I bought these last year for christmas and have worn them at least once a week since then. They do run small by a 1/2 size I normally wear a 8.5 and these I got in a 9 and they are perfect!! I will say that occasionally the strap would come unsnapped and I ended up loosing one of them.....contacted the boot company Feud and they are sending me another strap!!! 12.19.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jksjow Buyer beware I gave 5 stars because I loved this boot, but I have to return them! I think I got the ones that the previous reviewer returned. FP sent the wrong size. So beware - the boots said "7" inside, but as stated in the description, this is a men's size 7, which translates into a women's size 9. I too wear a 6-1/2, and ordered the size 7, and was surprised they were like boats on my feet! FP was very gracious and apologetic for the mistake, but like the last reviewer I was really looking forward to receiving this order, waited for the obligatory couple of weeks, was excited when it finally arrived, and now so disappointed. No more in my size, so I guess it wasn't meant to be. 8.17.2013

There is no nonsense so errant that it cannot be made the creed of the vast majority by adequate governmental action. -- Bertrand Russell
"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." Robert J. Hanlon
Ok, for the 1919 ignorant of us could you show how its used? I have an aquaintance of mine that is into building a 1919 so I've been hooking him up with what I can find on the build....
Here is a picture of one of these being used. There are some other photos in my picture gallery.
Plinker, Roc,
Thanks for the info guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
got another question. Does anybody have pics of the semi and full parts?????
I used a KMP SA trigger/sear in mine. They are the most popular, kind of the G2 of the 1919 world.
There is a pic on their site.
That bucking setup is sweet, I wish I had one of those when I built mine.
Thanks for the info, your the man!!!!! So, any pix on the difference between semi and full fun; or a link to the info.
I could use all the info too. My kit came in a few days ago. I am assembling pieces for a build too. I read projectguns.com info. Makes it look easy.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Apple parody videos are nothing new, but they often highlight how normal consumers look at new product launches and in many cases beyond upgraded internals to more superficial features like hardware design. Apple's new colourful iPhone 5c lineup seems to be getting somewhat overshadowed by the new gold color option for the iPhone 5s, but its new iPhone 5c cases are also receiving a less than great response, mostly due to their appearance to crocs and lack of attention to detail. Head below to check out some of the other parody videos that have hit the web since Apple's new iPhone announcements.
Conan's take on the new gold iPhone:
Jimmy Kimmel proves that many people have no idea about Apple's new iPhones (or its current lineup for that matter):
iPhone 5s parody from the Matthias YouTube Channel:
And a few others from YouTube:
There is a lot of upgraded internals in the new 5s to be excited about– A7 chip, new M7 motion processor, fingerprint scanner, improved camera system– but it's not that surprising that the normals will likely be focusing on the shiny new gold color option. Our own Ben Lovejoy is sticking with his iPhone 4S, but are Apple's upgraded iPhones enough for you to make the upgrade?

12 Responses to "iPhone 5s/5c launch lots of parodies but who will be laughing last?"
I laugh how stupid people create those :D
The new iPhone will be spectacular as usual and will sell in droves, and as usual all the 'me too' smartphone manufacturers are lining up to point out how the screen is not 6 inches or it should have medium-format megapixel camera spec or does not make the average person less of a dumbass. I am glad that Apple rarely rises to the bait. Confidence in what you bring to the plate means you can spend less time worrying about others.
And can everyone please stop droning on about how bad Tim Cook is as CEO? IMO, he has done a brilliant job in the thankless task of following in the footsteps of a legend. Can somebody seriously name ONE person who could step in at this point and do a better job without screwing around with the sacrosanct core nature of the company?
Thanks. Good to get that off my chest.
Agree on all points.
Tim Cook is a washout and the crew is showing how incapable they are in running the ship. Now we can see why Steve was always on their A***. Worst presentation and upgrade ever (Insulting to it's loyal customers and embarrassing) and sad to see how low the company has sunk. There's gonna be a lot of people jumping ship over to better shores. Thanks. Good to get that off my chest.
The little issue here is that there is no better shores to jump to.
Google Android is a huge mess and a farce. Cheap quality products, no real support, viruses, too many stores, no real standard.
Microsoft WindowsPhone8.x,SurfaceRT,SurfacePro are a pathetic silly joke with their atrocious Metro/ModernUI (too bad the idiot Tim Cook and his gang copied the childish Metro for iOS7…)
Blackberry is dead.
The 5C and it's colors / croc like cases deserves the criticism…but the price point is so good that really, who cares. The 5S is awesome.
Apple will be laughing last, of course. Others attempt parody to put down Apple when they don't have products as good as Apple's to boast about. It's always been that way. Just remember the parodies about the iPad after it was announced yet see how well it's done.
Looks like Putin's own special iPhone 5C..
Oh the Jimmy Kimmel stuff was funny. I can't believe people are so easily fooled. Wow. Well I guess in a world of phablets an iPad mini can past for a phone.

Will Google Buy Facebook?
Google may periodically sell up to 5.3 million shares of stock according to a regulatory filing on Wednesday. At its current share price of $394.98 a share, a sale of 5.3 million shares would raise nearly $2.1 billion.
Facebook, the Web site where students around the world socialize and swap information, has put itself on the block, BusinessWeek Online has learned. The owners of the privately held company have turned down a $750 million offer and hope to fetch as much as $2 billion in a sale, senior industry executives familiar with the matter say.
Well, can you see a connection between the two news? BussinessWeek says it may be. After all, Facebook might integrate with Google Scholar, Google Books, Google Groups. But $2.1 billion is a lot of money. Just consider that Rupert Murdoch bought Myspace.com for $580 million.

Local shoppers can give back to their community this week by purchasing items at select downtown businesses.
No fewer than 16 businesses will donate a portion of their sales to the United Way on Thursday as part of the Shop Today for United Way campaign, a perfect example of community synergy. Such collaboration is a great way to not only benefit a local nonprofit, but hopefully will help to boost downtown shopping and the revenues of businesses as well.
The mission of United Way is to improve the lives of folks in the community, and such fundraising initiatives ensure that can be possible.
Representatives from the agency will be stationed on Laurens Street downtown, handing out flyers and informing people about which businesses are participating. We encourage local shoppers to take part in the event and check out what downtown businesses have to offer.
Historic Downtown Aiken presents shoppers with an atmosphere unmatched by most cities and towns across the state. Thursday's event will consequently give shoppers a chance to treat themselves to a unique local shopping experience while also giving back to a good cause. The United Way of Aiken supports more than 50 critical-needs programs and a network of 32 local partner agencies.
Whether it's improving local education efforts, providing residents with financial stability or promoting healthy living, the ambitious goals of the agency are thankfully made easier through such creative partnerships.

Anderson Silva money?
Salary, undisclosed bonuses, post-fight awards, sponsorships ... Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones -- who averages three fights per year -- makes a lot of dough.
More than his two brothers combined.
That might come as a surprise to some mixed martial arts (MMA) fans, considering older brother Arthur (Baltimore Ravens) and younger brother Chandler (New England Patriots) are both starting players for National Football League (NFL).
But don't take my word for it ...
And here we thought Renan Barao was "Money."Norms @supernorms
@Artj97 haha you make $2 million dollar base salary. Hook up @JonnyBones with your agent or with @RosenhausSports. @Chan95Jones @malkikawa
Arthur Jones ✔ @Artj97
@supernorms @JonnyBones @RosenhausSports @Chan95Jones @malkikawa I'm telling you he makes more then me and @Chan95Jones together.
11:31 PM - 22 Sep 2013
The eldest Jones earns a base pay of $2,023,000 for one year (via Bloody Elbow), while lil' Chandler has a four-year deal worth $8,172,552 ($7,421,215 guaranteed). "Bones" would need to break the $4 million dollar range to outperform them, putting him in this exclusive club.
Not too shabby.
Then again, it helps when you win, which is something that almost didn't happen (despite this Dumbass prediction) at the UFC 165 pay-per-view (PPV) event (watch it) back on Sept. 21, 2013 at Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, courtesy of Alexander Gustafsson and a "sloppy" Jones.
Sloppy, but well paid.

Store goes soup to nuts to promote solarBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | February 04,2013Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo
Same Sun of Vermont plans to open a retail store on Merchants Row in Rutland in April. The store will carry goods manufactured using solar energy.If you happen to see a can of Campbell Soup and a knit hat on display in the store window at 53 Merchants Row come April, and you scratch your head, both items will have something in common — solar energy.
Phil and Marlene Allen are taking their commitment to solar to the next level by opening Same Sun Choice.
The Allens' retail store will carry a variety of consumer products from Vermont and around the country — all made, at least in part, using solar energy.
Phil Allen said a number of national companies have invested in solar power as part of the manufacturing process, including Campbell Soup and Crayola.
Allen promised the store will carry a "wild" selection of products.
"The only common denominator is going to be that part of the manufacturing was through solar power," he said. "And we're hoping by getting that on the ground level and across the street from Green Mountain Power, people will come in, understand that smart people, smart companies, go solar and that will be encouraging Vermont businesses to go solar."
To start off, Allen will begin stocking the 1,100-square-foot store with national brands. Within two years, he said the goal is to have all Vermont products — anything from maple syrup to knit hats.
For a product to wind up on the store shelves, Allen said a company must use solar for at least a portion of the power used in the manufacturing process.
He said awareness and not profit is the motivating factor.
"It's not all that important to me that we sell much of anything," he said.
Allen credited landlord Mark Foley for finding a way to fill another downtown retail vacancy.
Green Mountain Power is on board with the idea as well.
"Same Sun and the Allens have already brought new life to downtown Rutland, and we look forward to continuing to work with them to improve and expand the revival of the city's core," Mary Powell, president and CEO of GMP, said in a statement.
"The new store is a creative and exciting connection to the Solar Capital concept, and we're thrilled by the Allens' commitment to the effort and downtown Rutland," she said.
Same Sun already operates a solar energy design and installation business around the corner at 24 Center St. The company recently completed the Creek Path Solar Farm on Cleveland Avenue.
The two-year-old company has built dozens of small-scale residential and commercial projects around Rutland County and the state, including a solar array at Alderman's Toyota on South Main Street.
GMP selected the company to build the first solar array in Rutland as part of the utility's commitment to make Rutland the "Solar Capital of New England."
The 150-kilowatt Creek Path Solar Farm was built on a former brownfield owned by GMP. It was completed by Same Sun last month.

I will be 14 wks this sunday and my blood pressures are already starting to rise. My blood pressures in the am are 130/80's but by the evening I am 140/80 and sometimes 90s. I called my doctor to see if she wants to adjust my medications but she wants to wait until my readings get 150/100. I asked why and she said she doesn't want the baby to be underperfused. I am already on three medications so that could be the reason. I am very concerned with my blood pressure readings in the higher range. Anybody else have higher readings in a second pregnancy and at 14 wks? I started out so hopeful but now I am starting to wonder-will I even make it to 24 wks (that's when I had my first baby). I am starting to become very worried and nervous abou this. Any advice?

1. Pump, pump, and pump some more...my 31 weeker was rejecting the preemie formula for the first two days. As soon as I was released from the hospital and home, I pumped and brought in my breast milk. It was a night and day difference with Elizabeth's reaction. She instantly did not have any residual in her belly and constantly continued to increase the dosage of breast milk with each feeding. Our bodies know we've had a preemie and our milk becomes more beneficial for our little ones.

NICEVILLE — "Bring It On: The Musical," which made a five-month 2012 stopover on Broadway before continuing on its way, is a high-energy, high-flying, breathtaking celebration of the cut-throat, competitive world of...
Yes, high school cheerleading runs headlong into musical comedy, smacks it upside the head, and leaves the audience gasping with its flips, flops and flies in this dazzling spectacular. The production was nominated for two Tonys and five Drama Desk Awards.
The show's Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winning writers, composers, choreographer and director weave a story about lily-white cheerleading queen Campbell, who is redistricted into an urban school, befriends Danielle and learns a few life lessons along the way.
"Bring It On's" story may not be very deep, but this isn't a show audiences flock to for its depth and plot development. Nor is it Grandma's Broadway musical.
"Hello, Dolly!" it ain't.
Punchy songs, colorful characters, athletic choreography and flying cheerleaders are what the show is all about.
The musical comedy bounds, bounces and blasts its way onto the Mattie Kelly Center Main Stage Jan. 23. Just watch out for low-flying cheerleaders.
WHAT: "Bring It On: The Musical"
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Jan. 23
WHERE: Mattie Kelly Performing Arts Center, Northwest Florida State College, Niceville
TICKETS: $42 at the box office

"Before I speak, I have something important to say."
For the forseeable future I'm done with quests. Unless I absolutely have to complete them to get through the game I don't bother anymore.
What bothers me most about them is they are virtually impossible to fail. In thr process of me "Killing 10 boars" even if I die 7,372 times they consider it a sucess. In the process of "Picking up 10 rocks" even if it takes me 3 years to complete they consider it a success.

The doctors say his chances are 50/50...but there's only a 10% chance of that.
I think a quest should span an entire single player RPG's worth of time. I don't think a task such as "pick up some grapes for me" should even be considered a "quest". A quest should have an immense feel to it, it should be a massive undertaking in terms of difficulty, time, and travel.

Well, it would be easy to reset quests if you die once or a few times during them but the problem is realy that in most MMOs you can have quests in your log for months without completing them.
GW2 and TSW are really right there, what totally blows are overfilled questlogs.
Quest or DEs should be large and epic, when someone ask me to pick up 10 rocks lying next to him I hust get mad, I am an adventurer, not a manservant. Conan would have him beaten just for asking.

Exactly! I mean, I'm this human that has a MAGICAL bow that shoots an INFINITE amount of arrows, and with that I've managed to slay over a thousand centaurs, I've banished ghosts, and helped take down enemies so immense they could have ravaged all of civilization! But, sure, I'll just be cleaning up your cows. I don't know why I'm cleaning your cows, but if I don't I won't get these achievement points, see? These points are important, not because they do anything, which they don't, but because without achievements, well now there wouldn't be anything left to do.

Ok, it might not always be cowpies but pestkilling or whatever. Ratcatching is not work for heroes either.
And it isnt that hard to fix either. I rather have fewer but larger and more complicated quests/DEs than simple and stupid ones.

There are a bunch of other things you could do for quests, but it wouldn't change anything... an MMO quest is 3 stages:
1) have a fight.
2) optionally click on a macguffin (or collect them/defend them).
3) reward.
There's a lot of fancy framing around it, but essentially the gameplay is step 1. Changing steps 2 or 3 may hide that fact better, but it's essentially a TV program with a gunfight and some talking...
The real question is 'can you have non-combat quests in a combat MMO'?
Traditionally the answer is "lol, no that's easymode to get phatloot"... but it's now 2012 and things have changed.
There is now an opportunity to start creating successful MMOs with "less" focus on combat... or even no real combat at all.
In many mmos when you are in a quest to kill x of something and everyone else joins and you have to decide how to do it, or how to aid the ones doing it, no matter how many choices you have or if you are the only one doing it, you still feel that you are a small and insignificant part of a mechanic of the game, like you have no place in that imaginary world and you are just doing filler content that is not interesting at all.
But what if somehow a game managed to make every quest unique and gave every avatar an unique path / destiny, different to everyone elses'? What if that game could make your rewards different and your role in the events more suited to your personalized experience, so you can bring something new and unexpected that no one else can...? What if you could discover something unique that is not part of any map and you could put your flag on top of it, name it your domain? What if you could develop a skill that is unique to your character, or a craft that can only be made with your knowledge and you could open your own dojo to impart on other players your singular capabilities and techniques... forming a clan with something unique to share and treasure? What if something as simple as a hunt quest could take you hours into dense jungles, chasing after a prey that tries to anticipate your next move luring you into dangerous traps? Yes, I mean as a regular quest (instead of the: killing X and bringing quest item X for your reward) not as any scripted instance / single-player story line / dungeon but as a challenge that is aware of your presence, one that doesnt constantly reappears. What if your death meant more than a penalty and a respawn / resurrection? You would have to be fully invested in your actions that wouldnt depend on stats or abstract mechanics but on intelligence and determination, challenging an enemy of no level classification wouldn't instantly kill you but it also wouldnt solely depend on a few careless seconds of rutinary actions, why not? Because you couldnt possibly follow the same procedure with an enemy that tries to anticipate you, instead of blindly following an specific behavior pattern, maybe that enemy wouldnt even be interested in fighting you at all and you could shamefully become its new chew toy.
When a game like this happens we will start meaning something more than a Level/Race/Class/Specialization/Faction/Prestige/Personalized Appearance/Wealth........ combination and become something truly valuable, we will earn real experience.... the type of experience that you can normaly get in other games by learning to become more specialized, will not help you overcome a game that is in constant change.

Since the "quests" aren't nearly as good as quests/missions/objectives in single player games, I'd say there is some room for growth. I find this thread silly actually.
Wake me up when the "quests" get as good as an objective in Deus ex. Which is from 2000 actually, 12 years ago.
Hell, I'd settle for Fallout:NV typee missions.

Lotro had a fab series of quests which you played as a hen. That's right a hen in the Shire! SWTOR as an April fools joke promised upcoming quests playing your droid, so you could see what being a droid servant was like. That could have been a real laugh too, shame they did not do it.
Depth in quests requires complexity. On launch day you would get the 'its too complex threads'. MMO's these days are being made for the lowest common denominator, thats good marketing but not quality gaming.

It's not hard to come up with loads of ideas for better questing. When most quests are filler kill X collect Y crap it's easy to imagine player made quests or a random quest generator. It's a lot like asking if the AI can be improved when everything is as dumb as a post. Sky is the limit.

Just collecting fish, rats, rabbits, cows, etc, etc all by itself is not what i call questing.

Yeah, you think you have it bad now? More on Hercules: (From here, credit where credit's due)
One: Kill the Nemean Lion (Basic kill quest)
This monster of a lion had a hide was so tough that no arrow could pierce it. Hercules stunned the beast with his olive-wood club and then strangled it with his bare hands. It is said that he skinned the lion, using the lion's sharp claws, and ever after wore its hide.
Two: Kill the Lernean Hydra (Basic kill quest)
The evil, snakelike Hydra had nine heads. If one got hurt, two would grow in its place. But Hercules quickly sliced off the heads, while his charioteer, Iolaus, sealed the wounds with a torch. Hercules made his arrows poisonous by dipping them in the Hydra's blood.
Three: Capture the Cerynian Hind (Fetch quest)
The goddess Artemis loved and protected this stubborn little deer, which had gold horns. Hercules found it a challenge to capture the delicate hind without hurting it (and making Artemis angry). After following the hind for an entire year, he safely carried it away.
Four: Capture the Erymanthian Boar (Fetch quest)
The people of Mount Erymanthus lived in fear of this deadly animal. Hercules chased the wild boar up the mountain and into a snowdrift. He then took it in a net and brought it to King Eurystheus, who was so frightened of the beast that he hid in a huge bronze jar.
Five: Clean the Augean Stables (Task. Renown heart?)
Thousands of cows lived in these stables belonging to King Augeas. They had not been cleaned in 30 years, but Hercules was told to clean them completely in a single day. To do so he made two rivers bend so that they flowed into the stables, sweeping out the filth.
Six: Kill the Stymphalian Birds (Kill quest)
These murderous birds lived around Lake Stymphalos. Their claws and beaks were sharp as metal and their feathers flew like darts. Hercules scared them out of their nests with a rattle and then killed them with the poison arrows he had made from the Hydra's blood.
Seven: Capture the Cretan Bull (Fetch quest)
This savage bull, kept by King Minos of Crete, was said to be insane and breathe fire. Hercules wrestled the mad beast to the ground and brought it back to King Eurystheus. Unfortunately, the king set it free, and it roamed Greece, causing terror wherever it went.
Eight: Capture the Horses of Diomedes (Fetch quest)
King Diomedes, leader of the Bistones, fed his bloodthirsty horses on human flesh. Hercules and his men fought and killed King Diomedes and fed the king to his horses. This made the horses tame, so that Hercules was able to lead them to King Eurystheus.
Nine: Take the Girdle of the Amazon Queen Hippolyte (Fetch quest)
Hercules went to the land of the Amazons, where the queen welcomed him and agreed to give him her girdle for Eurystheus's daughter. But Hera spread the rumor that Hercules came as an enemy. In the end he had to conquer the Amazons and steal the golden belt.
Ten: Capture the Cattle of Geryon (Fetch quest)
Geryon, a winged monster with three human bodies, had a herd of beautiful red cattle. He guarded his prized herd with the help of a giant and a vicious two-headed dog. Hercules killed Geryon, the giant, and the dog and brought the cattle to King Eurystheus.
Eleven: Take the Golden Apples of the Hesperides (Basic task)
The Hesperides were nymphs. In their garden grew golden apples protected by Ladon, a dragon with a hundred heads. Hercules struck a bargain with Atlas, who held up the earth. Hercules shouldered the earth while Atlas, the nymphs' father, fetched the apples.
Twelve: Capture Cerberus (Fetch quest)
Hercules was ordered to capture Cerberus, the three-headed guard dog of the underworld, without using weapons. Hercules wrestled down the dog's wild heads, and it agreed to go with him to King Eurystheus. Cerberus was soon returned unharmed to the underworld.

If one goes through all our favorite mythology stories you find that all quests boil down to the same simple but enjoyable formulas.
Maybe players forget the "role playing" part and don't use their imagination when they kill Aunt Edda's giant wyvern in the garden.
One player kills a giant Wyvern threatening Aunt Edda and her prized beet pies and another gets 150 xp but no cool drops.

Teacher Appreciation Week is a time students show their gratitude for their teachers, but at Summerville Elementary School instructors got more than just a thank you to start off their week.
Appreciation Week started May 5 and at Summerville Elementary the celebration kicked off with a visit from the Kickin Chicken corporate group.
To give back to teachers Kickin Chicken provided lunch for faculty and staff at the school, prepared fresh for employees to come pick up in the parking lot.
Meg Watson, corporate director of marketing for Kickin Chicken, said the restaurant chain picked different schools in the Charleston area to provide lunch for Teacher Appreciation Week.
Each school selected is one that happens to be near a Kickin Chicken location. Summerville Elementary was selected for Dorchester District Two because, Watson said, the corporation is already familiar with the school, having participated in coupon give-aways at events such as the schools end-of-the-year awards celebration.
However, this is the first time Summerville Elementary has gotten such a visit for Teacher Appreciation Week. Were hoping to grow it next year, she said. Were just getting our feet wet and seeing how it works for the school.
The Kickin Chicken truck known as the Chicken Coupe served lunch May 5 from 10 a.m. to noon. Teachers had pre-filled menu cards for their orders, which were made fresh inside the truck and then handed off to teachers as they arrived.
Many teachers and faculty wrote little notes such as, Thank you so much for doing this on their menu cards.
Employees got to pick from delicacies including wraps, nuggets, salads and a choice side of potato salad, chips or French fries.
Watson said the Kickin Chicken corporation was happy to provide lunch in recognition of Teacher Appreciation Week.
Its just reaching out to the community that supports us, she said.
Keiko Hamilton, a special education assistant at Summerville Elementary, was excited about the lunch.
Its very nice, she said. Its a great showing. We love Kickin Chicken.

This webinar will focus on different bearing testing strategies and how the data is analyzed to provide a design or test engineer with information that supports the qualification process of rolling element bearings. We'll look at the logic tree associated with bearing qualification then focus on the dynamic tests that can be done, test plan development and methodology, data analysis and comparison of test data to field data. This webinar is ideal for those individuals who are trying to understand or develop a rolling element bearing qualification program for new product development or negotiating through the global supply chain.
Chris Napoleon founded Napoleon Engineering Services in 1997, after several years in the aerospace bearing industry, with a clear vision and passion for increasing bearing knowledge and performance throughout all industries. With the increase in the global supply chain for bearings Chris saw a need for companies to reduce risk when sourcing product and developed our Inspection and Testing departments. Today, under Chris' guidance, NES has become the largest independent bearing testing and inspection facility in the United States.
Chris has devoted the past 14 years of his career to providing bearing qualification solutions to design engineers and corporate supply planners through extensive and unique forms of bearing testing and inspection. The programs he has developed have helped hundreds of large OEMs make informed decisions about the global supply chain and improved bearing performance in their applications.
The highlight of Napoleon Engineering Services inspection program is the Source Qualification Inspection (SQI) program, a unique service which provides a comparison between multiple bearing suppliers. Chris has developed this program which determines the design intentions, manufacturing quality, material integrity, and overall quality of workmanship, opening the world of bearing design for non-bearing engineers.
Napoleon Engineering Services has seen outstanding growth in its 14 years of development under Chris, with the company recently settling into its state of the art 20,000 sq ft facility which was completed at the beginning of the year. Under Chris' direction and leadership Napoleon Engineering Services continues to strive in all three aspects of the business; Bearing Inspection, Bearing Testing, and Custom Bearing Manufacturing and looks forward to future growth in the years to come.

truthfully I don't know
I think that there is a place for those who want to do something that runs the risk of major bodily harm. While the ATA does not offer that, it does offer people at least to learn to bear themselves so they they don't look like victims, and to block or dodge a punch. I agree, most dojang trained martial artists have no idea what it feels like to have that adrenal dump and how to work through that and not end up dead. You have a good point for which I do not have a ready answer. I quite frankly worry about that too.

The thing is, I actually thought like you did when I was in high school. Since, I've trained and sparred very hard, and I've found that hard sparring and hard training don't actually wear on you as badly as many as people think. Now, I've come to understand that it is not needful to sabotage the intensity of training to teach people things like conflict resolutioin and awareness.
Don't get me wrong, I like sport karate - I think sport style sparring has a place as a weekend sport and as something you can do on a literally daily basis, but hard contact is something I think a school should offer enough that a fighter in training can spar hard 2-5 times a week. And I think 2 is an absolute minimum.
I think if you have a rank as a martial artist that is not built on hard fighting, or if you hold a rank as a child, it should be a different order of rank entirely then someone who fights on a frequent basis.
Of course, I have crazy ideas - I think there should be some sort of liscense to teach martial arts and to use terms like "self defense" in your ad copy, too - so maybe the world just isn't ready for me :eusa_eh:There's no choice but to confront you, to engage you, to erase you.

New York MMA Examiner Style: magic FUCKING powers!--
This might be a little off-topic, but does anyone not like the idea of their kids being instilled with the TMA definition of respect? The respect is attached to the title and not the actions of the individual. Perhaps this is because there was a time where there wasn't much difference between the two.
But, here in reality, just because someone has more experience in a field or has achieved more than you doesn't necessarily mean you can trust their opinion or gain from any emulation. I think one of the most damaging things you can do to a kid is introduce them to peasant honor.
As a child I had a crook MA instructor and sub-standard school teachers and I think I'd be a lot better at the things I do if no one expected me to respect them for their title.

Members of the UE Local 170 rallied Monday in the lower rotunda of the State Capitol Building to raise awareness about wages, benefits and working conditions for public workers. Local 170 is calling for a pay increase, repeal of involuntary employee transfers, seniority rights to be extended to state workers and an increase in enforcement of the state's occupational safety and health laws for public workers. Other issues include honoring the right of public workers to have representation in meetings with management and understaffing.

Rated 3.7 out of 5Â by 38 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by EHONG cute and SEXY//PERFECT FOR SUMMER I don't know what all the other reviewers are saying about it being too small?! I'm 5'6", 128 lbs, and a 32C. If anything, it was a little loose! Not small at all. Also your breasts most definitely don't hang out underneath it! (look at my pictures) It fit perfectly and I'm so happy with the hot pink, I kind of wish that I had gotten the matching bottoms! Stick with your true size unless you're really busty like a D/DD, then you should size up one. Otherwise, the hot pink is super sexy and flattering. Can't wait to wear it on my trip to Malaysia this summer! xoxo 5.24.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by mkdoor Busty No-Go I bought an XS in the swimsuit top because I'm very petite and that is the size I normally wear. But I do not recommend this swimsuit to anyone who has a large chest.This top does not have pads which can become a problem for some girls. Despite my small figure, I DO have a larger chest and it is too small. I spill out of the bottom and quite a bit of cleavage is shown on top. Other than that, this swimsuit is very comfortable and cute! 12.27.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by dreadlockmomma Way too small I give this a 3 star review. I am normally an xs, s in free people and also in swimsuits. I have barely a butt (and no boobs) 5'7" and 118 pounds, however, from previous recommendations I sized up to a M and it is still tight around the thighs (i'm a runner and i don't have too big of thighs). A large might fit even better. The top is cute and PERFECT for smaller chests, however the band underneath is black and shows when it is windy. I like the top so much though that it isn't a huge concern. Otherwise, love this swimsuit as a set. 10.17.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by m-a-g-g-i-e Love it, but it's see-through I bought this top in pink in an extra small. It fits perfectly (5â7, 32B). I really like it, but the color was a lot brighter than I expected it to be. The one thing I don't love about it is that under the ruffle layer, there is just one, thin layer of fabric. That one, thin layer of fabric is see-through, especially in the water. Now, I wear a bandeau top underneath, so it won't be see-through anymore. I would recommend doing that or sewing padding, swimsuit, or bra into it. Other than that, I love it! 6.11.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by kael good, sturdy swimsuit This was a great suit, and exactly what i wanted. It's extremely flattering and fits true to size. I wear a 32B and ordered a size Small. The only complaint I have is that the end of the ruffle layer isn't finished, so I'm not sure how long it will last. But it's held up in the ocean and what-not since I got it. 7.8.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ejean perfect I read the other reviews previous to buying my own top and was somewhat concerned about the sizing as it seemed there was no consensus to whether it ran large or small. I am a 32 B. I normally wear a size S but I went with the XS which fits perfectly! I was worried it would be too tight around my rib cage but it isn't. I bought the neon pink; although not generally a huge pink fan this suit looks great against my olive skin! I paired it with the volcano bottoms in blue, great combo! Hope this helps! 5.9.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by marinoa Love this This top is so pretty and the shape is amazing. I did size up after reading reviews and it fits perfectly. I got it in black and matched it with bottoms I already had. Love this piece! 3.23.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by kgremmel LOVE love love love this top but I would like it in black too but it is all sold out in my size(small). Please order more, I would love to order this top from you guys. 2.4.2012

Smooth ride and puncture resistant, what more can you ask for in a tire? I have tried multiple tires, Conti's, Michelin's and others, but keep coming back to tried and true Vittoria's. The only con I can think of is they do tend to wear quicker than some of the other tires I have used, but wear mileage is about average when compared to others. I am a bit disappointed the newer version of the tire are colored on the sidewall, as opposed to the tread on the old versions, but they still look sharp. I would highly recommend these tires as a do it all training and racing tire.
A good balance of characteristics. My all-purpose go-to tire. They are best pared with latex tubes.
The tires are fast and soft to ride on. Are they faster then the Conti GP4000s.? Jury is still out on that one. Rolling resistance is very low. For the price, it's an expensive purchase because they don't last that long. If you are into TT racing on a weekend basis, these will get you through the season. The downside of these tires are that they wear very fast and cut easier then any tire I have used. Probikekit actually replaced a set that just got cut to shreds in my first few rides. The second set is holding up well but it's always in the back of my mind that if I hit any type of roc, glass, pebble, that my tires will cut or worse yet, get a flat.

I've raced on vittoria open corsa cx 23mm clinchers for many years. They are definitely not the most durable tires, but the supple feel makes up for it. I recently upgraded to a new set of wide profile carbon clinchers wheels which are designed for 25mm tires so I made the switch. They are even better than the 23s!!! great traction, stable ride, softer feel, with no sense of being slower. They inspire confidence in cornering during crits. Great on dirt, gravel, or uneven pave. If you want a set of bomb-proof tires that you can ride through broken glass in the gutters- this is not the tire for you. Many of my teammates ride Conti GP4000s. To me, they feel like wooden wagon wheels. If you want amazing road feel, with confident traction on smooth or rough pavement there is no better (IMO). Cheers!
I love these tires and PBK's price beat the rest. Thanks again.
I love these tires. I used to race on the tubular version of this tire. Loved the ride, supple and smooth. The clincher version is my favorite tire of all. They are super light and fast. You can't beat the 320pti casing for great road feel. Their lifespan seems to be about that of similar tires, but not as long as the Contis I have ridden. Given the choice though, I would rather ride the Open Corsas every time for a light fast perfect feel.

I normally run Michelin Pro4 Service Course. These tires were on sale, so I tried them out. They are smoother and more tacky. It's too early to weigh in on durability. I'd buy them again.
These tires are fast, comfortable, light and durable. The 320 tpi count makes the tire very supple and good for cornering. Using these tires with latex inner tubes is like using tubulars. Cheers!
So far so good. These tires are as close as you can get to sew-ups. . I have approx. 500 miles on them and could not be happier.
Light, roll very well, easy to install
No complaints but I only have a few hundred miles on the 2013 Vittoria Open Corsa CX Clincher Road Tyre. The delivery took a little longer than I had hoped but I do live in the states so it's understandable. I will update after 800 more miles.
I've been riding the 2013 Vittoria Open Corsa CX Clincher Road Tire 25's in summer for the last few years. The tire corners well and is very comfy. I went down on a 90 degree turn at low speed because I didn't know I had a flat on the front tire. That was a first in over 28 years of consistent riding.
Vittoria is on record as saying that these tires are for racers and professionals and that mere avid cyclists like me should use one of their less expensive tires. This tire has the attributes associated with a high-end tire one would expect. Grippy on the road, excellent cornering. Smooth riding on rough roads. Decent endurance. An important reason I consistently use these is for safety. Because of the 320 tpi, they retain some riding ability even when flat. If I'm going slow, it can be hard to tell that I have a flat. I consider this an important safety feature because if I lose air in a tire during a fast descent, I want the tire to support my handling of the bike as well as possible, until I can come to a stop. The rated pressure for these tires is 115-140psi. If you like to run with lower pressures, you will need to up you pressures with these tires to avoid damaging the tires.
