Ok all the launch fiasco's aside, the games not terrible. Yes combat is very lacking, and the skill tree needs some balance as well as melee needs a lot of love in terms of making melee fun and viable. Other than that its a soild, deep, ARPG, with a great gritty look and feel to it. It does a lot of things right which seem to over shadow the games lackings.
One thing i really wish they would give attention to, is making this game more...multiplayer. I waited though a 20k queue and found a total of 15 public games. 15 is as high as ive seen it, being under 10 for nearly all of closed beta.
I think the free for all loot is a big reason, but also they dont really make it easy to hop in to a public game. One must be created by a player, and for all but the difficult boss fights, there seems to be no advantage to even finding a group.
When you are in a multiplayer game, and your not with real friends, it becomes more of a loot fight since loot is shared, also the other players make it difficult to attack mobs sometimes, as mouse clicking isnt very accurate in the game, especially with small mobs. I found myself constantly targeting a templar who was melee causing my elemental bow character to run up to the mobs all the time, i could use shift to stand still, but when i need to hit that right mob or when things are moving too fast for shift+fire while standing still, its a pain. Worse is someone with minions, makes it nearly impossible to target mobs.
Top it off with a global chat that seems to have to be turned off to even enjoy the game, non stop D3 talk and a constant sea of questions with no answers (god help you if you have a question, which you will) and an economy that sees player to player trading nearly null...people only want certain orbs for gear, and if you had those orbs you really wouldnt even need trade chat. Other than people who cant find the skills they need there doesnt seem to be much of an economy brewing since everyone can just make their own stuff, and reroll every aspect of that gear on their own, so the only real market is for the crafting orbs...no one wants the gear, and if they do...they certainly have nothing to trade for it (asking for freebies basically)
This whole single player feeling didnt quite hit untill i saw the queue lines. All through closed beta i hadent realized i had been playing a single player game, chats all turned off, self sufficiant in gear, and with multiplayer being more dealing with loot fighting than actually playing...it hit me when i saw that line, that 20k people are waiting to get in, that a game that size should have a vibrant multiplayer aspect to it...else...why even have it online and a queue for me to wait though? Add in the constand disconnects that make you have to redo content and the mob desync that gets you killed...which i understand is a launch issue as it was fine in closed beta, aside from desync that was there.
I just feel this game would be a whole more enjoyable if it was more directed towards playing with other people.

I'm confused regarding the first part of your first sentence. What made the launch a fiasco? The blatant DDOSing causing the server issues? Other than that, the launch was pretty stellar. Just my opinion though.
The game has the tools for a social experience. The boards for grouping are there. I guess i just dont' agree with you.

At top difficulty level you don't plow through all the mobs like you will be doing now. The multiplayer loot issue is only bad because loot is dropping like crazy. At top level you'll be leaving most of the yellow drops and you kill things slower so loot doesn't drop constantly.
So, it gets better as you go along.
I do wish it had individual loot drops though or that your allocated loot had at least a 1 minute timer before it goes public.

I had the client installed already and updated to the open beta client before ob went live and it was a quick dl.I've played multiple hrs every day since (2-4 a day) and only had 1 dc and that's it.The queue they have today is because of ddos attack's on the server's,they're limiting the access to 45k or so while they get this straightened out.
I cant agree with combat being lacking as it's just as good as D3 and the skill tree is like a work of art.It does seem overwhelming.but once you play around with it,it become's easier to use.
As far as grouping I'd say try and find a few friend's in the game (or guild) to try and play with.I've watched some on Twitch and have seen duo's work well.Playing solo or duo is fine from what I've seen.The key seems to not be the weapon's you loot,but actually how you upgrade what you already have.
Some day I'm going to put a sword through your eye and out the back of your skull!

As long as the loot system is designed such that playing multiplayer means having to play selfishly and prioritize clicking on loot ahead of killing the mobs that are still alive, I will play PoE 100% single-player.

Other then trying to figure out if i think it is sad or funny that people have nothing better to do in their lives then to go to public boards on the internet and voice issues, I have not experienced what the OP is talking about. Always tons of people on, always groups if you want them. Always constant chat yes, but that is with any game when it is launched. Game is pretty good for a simple hack n slash. Games like this take very little skill to master or even enjoy and have a blast in. The only thing you need is a good mouse and a fast click finger. Thats all =P

As if it needs an expansion to increase the timer that is already there. Wait until they fix the release problems and the Ac3 bugs and i bet one of the first changes will be the loot timer

Make worlds not stories
I wouldn't agree that it is a single player game, because once you get to end of act2 in the first difficulty the game become pretty hard and a group is much more effecient or actually needed to continue. In closed beta, there were loads of solo builds which are not really good anymore (such as summoner).
The game does have some problems with group play, and you like many other quickly found the worst.
Friendly targeting makes it hard to target monsters - Its been reported before, but so far they refused to acknowledge the problem. Battle spam from effects in group bigger than 3 people is also a problem, atleast combined with your insignificant looking cursor that gets lost all the time. Looting is so-called cutthroath, but closed beta players know groups had a silent agreement to kick any ninja looters and not group them again, so the cutthroath is not what players want - Also here GGG should drop their know-best attitude and implement a loot system. Chat system is just bad, a huge window on the side that cant be moved, no reply shortcut and other silly things. If you dont know the game very well, all your builds will suck when you hit midgame, beeing unable to survive - You really have to follow a recipe to have success - Although theorycrafting is fun enough it you will end up failing if you go much out of the proven formulas.
So crappy game ... nop PoE rock on every other aspect, and it is much more fun and interesting in the long run than for example D3, it just has some child diseases and hopefully their devs will listen a bit closer and improve on the problematic parts.
For all the disconnects and whatever problems, it is not as bad as many other launches of multiplayer games.. Its annoying but expected.

Yes the real market is orbs. However UNIQUES are tradeable. Recrafting gear into whatever I want is the best thing ever. It's still rando, but it lets me play with loot until i have a very good chance at making it awesome.
Minions do get in the way of targeting in groups.
I don't group much because I dislike the FFA loot system. Everyone stops fighting and swarms to your yellow, often causing you to have to path around them and if you are in Plate and dont yet have the speed keystone you can get SOL on loot. So i play alone right now. Hopefully they will implement a ruleset option in a leauge where the league creator can make loot hardbound for 2-3 minutes. I will play that league.
While I know I am not as strong as the caster classes I am still having fun on my melee. If it wasnt for my unique 2h I dont think i would have stuck with my melee into the 40's. My ranger has a much easier time overall.

I play solo, don't really see the point on grouping with randoms, from my understanding the mobs get harder in groups. once you fail against a boss and understand why you die then you can go back and kill the boss easier the second time round with the knowledge of its strengths and weakness.
Always carry 3 or 4 sets of rings with different elemental stats, then swap them in, it makes survivability so much easier.

When you group up, the drop rate increases. This is why when you hit S, and go to the public party Tab, it's always full -.- There are plenty of groups on every act doing farm runs, quest runs, map runs, boss runs, casual play throughs. I leveled my teomplar today 100% in public groups. Lots of them. The mobs all become much stronger so it's best to stay with your party, but the drops are plentiful. While ninjaring is an issue, it is not a huge one. In several of my long lasting groupsw today everyone, new and beta players, were very respectful. In one group we were linking all the rares we had and siomply giving them to whoever needed them. So much in your post about this being single player, from my personal experience, in beta and release, is totally wrong.

This multiplayer is still way better than D3 as of right this second. At lower levels most people are vultures scooping up any blue that drops but at higher levels it gets alot better. People will stil jump to the good stuff that drops but thats just part of the game. Seeing amazing things drop and you are just a second too late kinda sucks in a way but it adds some excitment to it. In my experience i have racked up way better stuff in a group than i do solo, the drops are just that much better.
Also once you get into cruel difficulty and above there starts to be alot more groups forming because the game gets more difficult. I think overall the game isnt lacking in anything right now. If you have played all the Arpgs that have come out in the past 10years you will appreciate a game like this once you get your hands on this beauty.

Financial Officer Lavita Crutchfield listed the changes needed, and commission members voted unanimously to adopt the amendment.
The first item of new business at the Feb. 19 meeting was a discussion about the trees at the former senior center property on Pulaski Street. Chairman Preston Hawkins explained that the lot surrounding the building is filled with pine trees that will cause damage to the property. Since the building is going to be used for adult education, it would be a good idea to get the trees taken down.
Commissioner Daylon Martin asked if Central Georgia Technical College that oversees the program could help with the trees.
Hawkins said an agreement is being worked out and they will be paying the utilities.
Commissioner Tommy Robinson said County Administrator Mike Underwood is authorized to negotiate the contract.
The administrator said he talked to Francis Adams, who oversees the Jones County CGTC office. Adams said he was contacted by the college's president about the contract with the county but has not heard anything since.
Robinson said he would like to have a proposal before the commissioners act, and Commissioner Jonathan Pitts said the trees are causing damage now.

Mobile MealsWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | email@example.com
Mobile Meals of Toledo serves more than 500,000 meals to 1,200 people each year, averaging 600 clients served daily. I only witnessed a dozen deliveries, but it was enough to earn some insight on how much life and freedom can be packed into a large brown lunch bag.
Mobile Meals Marketing Coordinator Mike Toth arranged for an April 9 "media day," during which writers from the region's newspapers could deliver meals and see the program up close. As Toth and his band Nine Lives have answered every call for every charity request I have made in the past few years, it was an easy yes.
Toledo Free Press Managing Editor Sarah Ottney, Design Editor James A. Molnar and I met Toth at the Mobile Meals pickup location at the Medical Mutual building on West Sylvania Avenue to load a dozen prepared meals into my car and deliver a route.
Toth explained that for $2.50 a day, participants have lunch, a snack and dinner delivered to their doors. Meals can be arranged for specific medical needs — diabetic, weight control, allergy, low sodium, etc. — and to personal taste, to a point.
"There's a lot of chicken," he said, noting its ease of preparation and versatility.
Mobile Meals was launched in 1967 by a group of doctors' wives who saw a need for support of older or infirm people who wanted to live independently but needed help with meal preparation. The organization now utilizes some 600 volunteers to deliver meals throughout Lucas County and some outlying areas as well.
Carolinea Heintz, one of the Mobile Meals founders, has written, "The official purpose of our service was: The provision of palatable meals that supply essential nutrients to a person who is unable to prepare or obtain adequate meals during a period of need or to someone who is unable to fully understand and prepare a modified diet. This service is for all who would benefit from it regardless of income, with emphasis on the aged."
Our route took us along Central Avenue down Holland-Sylvania Road and over to McCord Road, with a number of our deliveries concentrated in one apartment complex. We delivered to people who wanted their food left inside a garage with no contact, to people who politely accepted their meals and went back to their day, and to people who wanted to chat and visit over the background television drone.
It became clear within our first few stops how crucial the service is; without these delivered meals, some of the folks on our route would not be able to live on their own. These are folks who can take care of themselves but aren't hopping in the car to drive to Walt Churchill's Market. Knowing their food is coming every day must offer great peace of mind, and knowing those meals are smart and healthy must offer similar confidence for families and caregivers.
Mobile Meals is seeking volunteers for its routes, which can take as little as one or two lunch hours per month. Learn more at mobilemeals.org or call (419) 255-7806.

Aiken City Council will consider a proposal of a plan to alleviate traffic congestion on Chukker Creek Road when parents drop off or pick up their children from school.
Council will conduct its first reading of a possible amendment to a concept plan for Chukker Creek Elementary School, located at 1830 Chukker Creek Road, that would permit an 1,800-foot extension of the school's driveway, allowing for two lanes.
The hope is that the extension would allow more vehicles to pull into the school's drop-off area rather than spilling out onto Chukker Creek Road. An additional 40 parking spaces is also part of that amendment.
The S.C. Department of Transportation has approved this plan by the Aiken County School District to fix the problem.
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended the approval of this amendment earlier this month.
Many residents who live around the school were at that meeting to discuss their concerns about both the safety of the children and themselves.
At about 7 a.m., when parents are dropping off their children, and 2 p.m., when school is let out, traffic has been known to back up all the way to Whiskey Road. Some motorists sit in traffic for up to 45 minutes.
Concern about emergency vehicles not getting through the traffic if something were to occur during those times was also expressed.
The school has 852 students with about only 10 to 15 percent of them using the bus. The school currently has 650 feet of driveway for drop-offs and pick-ups, according to Civil Engineer Tilden Hilderbrand.
During pick-up, which is said to be the peak traffic time, approximately 1,800 feet of cars have been seen parked on Chukker Creek Road toward Whiskey Road and approximately 500 feet toward Woodside Plantation South, Hilderbrand said.
Some felt the plan wasn't going to meet long-term traffic needs, stating they feel the area around the school will continue to grow in population which means the traffic probably will, too.
Another resident and retired architect, Philip Winsor, who resides at the back of the school's property, said at the meeting and in a letter to the City that he's worried about the impact that this will have on his neighborhood.
After seeing the concept plan, he's concerned with the removal of trees that buffer his home and others from the sounds and sights of Chukker Creek as well as the fumes emitting from idling engines. Winsor is also uncomfortable with how close the vehicles lining up in the extended driveway will be to the properties behind the school if the plan goes through.
The meeting starts at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers, which is upstairs in the Municipal Building, 214 Park Ave. S.W.

Lapper Joins WVU Men's Soccer Staff
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University men's soccer coach Marlon LeBlanc announced the hiring of Mike Lapper, an United States Olympian and World Cup participant, as an assistant coach on the Mountaineer staff.
Lapper spent the last nine seasons as an assistant coach with the Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer, helping the team to a 2008 MLS Cup Championship and an appearance in the 2009 CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinals.
"I'm pleased to add Mike to our coaching staff. Mike has spent his entire coaching career in the MLS, and we are excited that West Virginia will be his home as he transitions in to the collegiate game," LeBlanc says. "He's had some great experiences over the course of his playing and coaching career that will both enhance the quality of our program and aide in the continued development of our players on and off the pitch."
"I am very excited for this new opportunity," Lapper says. "I'm beginning a new direction in my coaching career, and I'm privileged to start it with a high-caliber program in West Virginia. I can't wait to get to Morgantown and start working with the guys."
Upon his retirement as a player in July 2002, Lapper joined the Crew front as Director of Soccer Business Development, a role he held through 2007, in which he ran the organization's camp and clinic business. He joined the coaching staff concurrently in 2005.
During his time in the Crew front office, Lapper also served as an assistant coach for the MLS Generation Adidas Team (2009), assistant coach for the U.S. Men's U-20 National Team (2004-05), head coach for the CESA Boy's Select Team (2002-05), vice president of the Columbus Crew Chiefs (2002-05) and International Team Tour Coordinator Vice President for Premier Sports Group International, Inc (2002-09).
A hard-nosed defender during his playing days, Lapper spent 14 seasons as a professional player. He appeared in 110 games, starting 99, for the Crew from 1997-02. He began his professional career with VfL Wolfsburg of the German Second Division from 1994-95, and joined Southend of the English First Division from 1995-97.
He earned 44 caps, scoring one goal, with the U.S. Men's National Team from 1991-95. He was a part of the U.S. teams at both the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona and 1994 FIFA World Cup.
Lapper played collegiate soccer at CLA from 1988-91. While a UCLA, Lapper helped lead the Bruins to the 1990 National Championship and earned First Team All-America honors in 1991. Lapper went on to graduate in 2008 from Ohio State University with a degree in sociology.
Lapper and his wife Tara, have two children, Kyle and Tyler.

Hi Everyone!
I have recently stepped into the role of AZ coordinator! I live in Chandler. I found preeclampsia.org when my daughter was around a year old. I was still grappling with all of the emotions that accompany a complicated pregnancy. Finding the PF was a gift. It has helped tremendously.
My daughter turns 5 next month! Now I'm ready to be an active participant in the Preeclampsia Foundation.
Under Caryn's posting 'State Coordinator?' is more of my story and inspiration.
Please post and introduce yourself! I look forward to meeting HIP Mamas all across the Great State of Arizona.[:)]
By taking many small steps we can go a long way.

If they haven't kicked your door in by now, I doubt if it is a LE "sting" operation. They want to catch you with the illegal goods before you have a chance to get rid of them. Calling the police, especially when specialized knowledge of gun parts is needed to determine if something is legal or not (even a FA bolt is legal 99% of the time under Fed law) is just going to cause all sorts of headaches for everyone involved, including you. If you are truly concerned it contains something illegal, remove the label and toss it in a dumpster far from your home.
Most likely someone just got the wrong address written down. Call UPS at their 800 number and tell them the package got delivered to the wrong person and you would like to return it to the sender. Ask if they can have a driver pick it up, either from your work or just leave it outside your door at home. They should not have a problem doing this.

NEW YORK (AP) — Sixty-eight dogs have been rescued from a blaze in a New York City home.
Fire officials said the fire in the two-story house in Staten Island was reported on Friday evening. It was extinguished in about a half hour.
No injuries were reported.
Officials said the owner of the single-family home was a hoarder who collected small-breed dogs as well as trash. Some of the animals were kept in a yard next to the house.
Richard Gentles of Animal Care & Control of NYC said the dogs were removed to a shelter. He said a medical team is evaluating them and caring for them.
Fire marshals are investigating the cause of the blaze.
More than 50 dogs found after reported fire

Hello All! I'm happy to report I've honored my New Year's Resolution of one drawing a day ~ so far! Day 22 & I'm still doodling...
Catch Me If I Fall 3.5" x 5" sketch pad using .005 Prismacolor pen.
Comments and critiques are welcome.
Nealey if you keep doing all this Zen stuff you will probably reach nirvana by Dec. 31st. This one is very interesting. Kind of reminds me of jelly fish. Nice work.
C and C always welcomed
Nealey, nice doodle. It appears as if it could be falling through the tentacles. good for you keeping up with your New Years resolution.
Bonnie C & C most welcome / appreciated
Nealey check out Artwork from life on Wey Canvas. It may be something you would like. I did it for awhile and enjoyed it until I got so far behind that I could not keep up.
Sorry I forgot to tell you it is the scavenger hunt
Bonnie and Geri, thanks for your comments on my "fantasy" drawing. If I do one a day til April, I'll be happy enough....nirvana - probably not. Just want to break the bad habit of fighting with myself.
Geri ~ I have a hard enough time keeping up with the AD posts. I recently created an account with WetCanvas, but the site is confusing. I've only looked at the photo gallery. Do you have artwork there? I don't know your username.
I seem to have missed at least one 'page'...
sorry to hear that you are having more health problems Sam...hope your doctoer can soon sort you out.
Nealey.....agree about the 'doodles'.......good for the soul...I saw the jelly fish connection but also thought of zip fasteners and patterns.
Wet Canvas.........I gave that up a long,long time ago simply because I found it too time consuming/complicated. Prefer this site but as I limit my time on the PC one Forum is enough for me to cope with....prefer to paint/draw.
feel free to make constructive c/c...no digital alterations please
Hi all; I haven't posted in awhile been busy having fun with YUPO and getting too involved on FB. I'll post a couple of my efforts
Blue Ridge Mountains Art Center
Southern Appalachian Artists Guild
I have cut the pad of my finger so can't paint until it heals...so...I looked through my sketch books and found this colour sketch....reminded me of the WIP oil painting of the city skyline.
This watercolour was painted from my hotel room balcony. Spain.
Karen....The skyline painting is really coming along great!
Nealey..Your Zentangle is wonderful and has such nice movement!
Sam..I hope you feel better soon. I'll send get well thoughts your way.
Fred...Your YUPO paintings are really interesting. You can get some nice texture with that sort of board.
Sarah...The watercolor you did in Spain is really interesting and you've even add the laundry hanging out to dry on the clothes line on the roof! I can just imagine how painful that sort of finger injury must be. I hope it heals quickly.
Catherine Brown
C&C's are welcome.
(No digital alterations please)
Fred, your work on the YUPO is very different. I think I like the last one best, it reminds me of the ends of wood. You get very nice texture with this type of board.
Sarah, great skyline in Spain. You can feel the sunshine on the buildings and in the tree. It must have been a lovely trip. Take care of your finger so it heals up fast. You tend to open up wounds on your hands when trying to do things. It's hard not to use them.
Thanks Cathy and Bonnie...it was an Art History course I was taking part in but I take my travel painting kit with me wherever I go!
My finger is healing very well... managed to paint a quickie yesterday afternoon.
nice little painting of the skyline in Spain Sarah. I especially like the way you handled the tree.
Fred your Yupo works are very interesting. I am surprised that pencil does so well on it. I still like the fire monster.
Hey Gerri Here are a couple done with pencil 6x8 on YUPO it's a pleasure drawing on with a minimum of smudges
Hello Fred ~ Good for you with all your drawings and paintings on YUPO surface! I like the one that Geri called a fiery monster. I was just looking at photos of close-up caterpillars and your painting looks just like an abstract of one! Also, good job on the tree drawing.
Sarah ~ I always love your watercolors! This one of the Spanish rooftops is great. Your effects in the distant buildings are esp. wonderful!

I've been playing AoW for a few weeks now and have just created another character as I wasn't satisfied with the progression of my other one. There a few things in regards to new players that I would like to point out.
- Even though there are no "levels" as such, there is a form of levelling through cultivation, which increases your stats over a time period; you earn experience points which then convert over to cultivation points which you use to level your skills.
- With the "levels" comes a title which is called "inner strength" which is what all new players should be aware of as this will help you identify who will probably kill you straight away. There is also an indicator at the top of another players nameplate once selected which will notify you how quickly you will die, or what chance you have (which will be either unfathomable which is the highest or "will die in one shot" which means you will kill the player or npc quickly)
- Gear can pretty much be purchased by every player, whether you have just started or have been in the game for weeks. It can be purchased via "gold" which you buy with real money and then you transfer that gold into a decent amount of silver which can be used to purchase goods from player stores. Gold will buy you goods from the in-game store, which consists of clothing with no stats, mounts ect. These items are not worth it as they have time limits on them. If you purchase the game you will be given a package containing a fast mount with a time limit and 15 gold which shouldn't be spent at the in-game store. Use it to purchase silver, which will give you a head start with certain items.
- Do as much research on the schools as possible, although this is hard as there are few proper guides out there; try your best as you cannot create another character on your account. Find a school that suits your taste and play style best. Try to find a guild that will help along the way, best source of information thus far for me.
- Do the full tutorial, this is similar with EVE, if you try and jump into the world of wushu straight away, you will find yourself greatly challenged. Thankfully the world isn't as big as EVE so you will not get lost in space. There are teleporting places, and two will be set as default which will be your starting area (which is determined by whatever story you choose in character creation) and the school you choose. You can only have the two teleporting points, unless you purchase more with a small fee of silver, which is something I'm not a big fan of.
- There are 3 types of professions, manufacturing, gathering and literature. You can only choose 1 manufacturing profession and 1 literature profession. These are called life skills in-game, earning life experience will give you experience towards whatever profession you earned it for. The best way to level up your manufacturing profession is to participate in the mini game you can play with your life skill trainer, it basically Bejewelled, there are levels of difficulty to the mini-game and you can play it until you reach your max life skill cap (yes there is a cap on the amount of experience you earn) this basically saves you as a manufacturing from creating thousands of trash items to level up your skill in that profession.
- The best way to speed up cultivation is to participate in team practice which will be commonly broadcast as "25 TP at Falls" which almost sounds like a raiding event. The team practice is best done with 10 players, which isn't to hard to get other players for as everyone generally wants to speed up their cultivation. You will need at least 85k of cultivation to get the best out of team practice. It works like a slow version of dance dance revolution, so you just have to hit a sequence of " w, a, s, d and j" to complete your part of cultivation and you will probably only do it twice or 3 times if your team has done the sequence correctly which results in maximum cultivation. You gain fatigue in team practice, which will refresh the next day after you reach 100 percent. Another way to gain cultivation fast is to practice martial arts, where you essentially pay money to purchase a pill that speeds up the process, so unless you have lots of in game money and impatient, it will level you well and fast.
- Each school has 3 types of martial arts. Which will consist of 3 different types of fighting styles, some may be defensive, offensive or healing/support. The 1st martial you will learn is when you arrive at the school and have done the initial quests to be inducted into the school, the 2nd martial art you will learn is when you finish your first story line mission and the 3rd martial art is when you reach level 10 of your internal school skill. (Which is the most important to level up after you reach level 5 in the first internal skill you receive.
These are just a couple of points that made me re-roll into another character so I could do things right.

That's a very insightful compilation of information a new player needs to know. Well done.

One other tip I thought of is how to toggle peace mode and jianghu (player attack) mode on and off. There is a little icon way in the upper left corner and just to the left of your players picture. Hit that and you can toggle between peace mode and player attack mode. You click on the words peace for peace mode and vice versa. There are other tabs you can toggle there also.

There's a huge lack of helpful information on this game. I would recommend getting a guild asap. That has been a bigger help then I can explain.

Helpful and well needed. This game is a bit of a rough one to jump into. I still can't tell what I should or should'nt mess with in game, only played a tiny bit though. Was going to by deluxe earlier but decidided to hold off a bit till I know more of how the business model will look. One question if anybody can answer is I noticed it says vip access for 60 days and offline cultivation seems to be a perk of that 60 days, does this mean you will have to pay extra for future off line cultivation?
Joined: 3/03/12
Never ever spend cash for armor or a weapon. It's just not worth it. For example a second tier iron dagger does 11-18 dmg, and will cost you 30 silver. A top level (for now) silver dagger does 14-21 dmg, and on the low end will cost you 200 silver. Learn a profession and work, also nightly script steal events can make you rich. It's not easy getting a book from the self and out the zone, but like I said it can make you rich.
edit- Went into the script defend event tonight with about 60 silver. I have some inventory from crafting, but sales have been slow today. Left with a internal skill basic training. 15 minutes after that (I stopped to rob a guild cart and get a pk) I have 710 silver

The quest chain is different depending on which story you picked and which school you are in but it should always go like this...more or less..
You start with a guy who tells you to go train martial arts
you go do this and learn some junk skills
you get told to do x and on your way you get in a hole...you learn to double jump to get out of said hole
(at this point you either run around a bit or go straight to your school)
you pick your school
you go to your school and get your 1st set, then a little bit of questing later it gives you a quest to go back home
you go back to the start...do some running around...go to a mini instance and challange a group...learn the array skill in the process, AFTER THIS after you have sucesfully won the challange and talked to your father you should get a little pop up screen about story line quests and then you can go back to your school and learn your 2nd skill, your third skill can be learned at level 10 internal. Sometimes you will have to just go to the school instructor there will not be a quest in your log to do so.

^^ Basically this.
Try to press L in game to bring up your task manger and have a look under recommended tasks, and at the top it should have your storyline quest, it will point you in the right direction, and if you are on to the second chapter, I would go back to the headmaster. Goodluck!

after the story line quest my father sent me back to my school (wudang). I'm now presented with a school line quest... must I complete this before I get my second set of skills?
Yes, it shouldnt take too long to complete and once you do it will take you to the 2nd training instructor.

My thesis latex format does not include an appendix, but I need one. Should I put it after the bibliography or before?

The dominant convention, supported by Chicago, Hart's, and Butcher's, is to put the bibliography after the appendices when setting a book.
However, the conventions governing the order of end matter are much less fixed than those governing front matter, which is partly fixed in legislation. And not only books have appendices and reference lists: some conference series and journals have the appendices following the reference list.
It depends on the style guide you are following. In APA Style appendices come after references.

Detroit Urban Craft Fair
Masonic Temple
500 Temple St.
Detroit Michigan 48201United States
Editor's Review
Since 2005, the continuously growing Detroit Urban Craft Fair offers a juried venue for over 80 Michigan-area artisans selling locally created, affordable goods.
The Detroit Urban Craft Fair is not your grandmother's craft fair. There's no crocheted afghans or beaded stickpins to be found. Actually, if there are, they're made of locally sourced yarn culled from free-range sheep, and the stick pins would have been made from Petoskey stones and metals from the Detroit River. Rather, the DUCF is a juried event for a new era of artists who are both creative and, a key phrase for Detroiters, affordable. Stated simply, the DUCF's mission is to "elevate small craft business as an alternative to mass-produced wares during the holiday season." Sponsored by Handmade Detroit, an avid group of artists dedicated to supporting regional crafts people, the six-year-old fair is typically housed in entertainment venues around the city, most recently in the downtown Masonic Temple. The temple's dark wood paneling and creaky floors provide an atmospheric backdrop to the 85 vendors crowded into a 1940-style ballroom. Hordes of shoppers clamored to buy items like mitten-shaped Michigan potholders; whimsical, delicate earrings; or tequila-scented soap. There are dresses, hats, scarves and necklaces, each made with attention to detail and an edgy flair. And, most importantly, everything is made by hand. Entry is only $1 and the area offers plenty of free parking. For those who forgot to eat lunch, plenty of artisanal dining options like big crusty scones and individually brewed teas are available. Collectively, artists and organizers alike possess an independent joie de vivre that's a pleasing counterpoint to Detroit's oft-grim exterior.

Holland salon celebrates five years with community eventWritten by Holly Tuey | | firstname.lastname@example.com
A Holland salon is celebrating five years of business this weekend by throwing a party for the community.
An Va Spa and Salon was opened in 2008 by Angela Zaborowski and Valerie Gecik. The owner of the former Dia Salon was looking to retire, so Zaborowski and Gecik took the opportunity to advance their careers and bought the building that would become An Va.
"We needed a unique salon that could take new stylists, new aestheticians, new nail technicians and grow them and we also needed a place for more seasoned stylists," Zaborowski said.
The two had worked together in the industry for years and said they were considering opening their own salon eventually when the opportunity to buy Dia came up. Both in their early 30s and at a tenuous time in the country's economy, they knew they were taking a risk.
"Everyone said we were crazy, but we just had to do it," Zaborowski said. "We've had challenges, because the industry is ever-changing, but it keeps us on our toes and keeps it fun."
Since opening its doors, An Va has expanded space, staff and services. Eighteen staff members work together to offer common services such as hair styling, manicures and waxing, as well as new and unique options like dermaplaning, body polishing and eyelash extensions.
The owners said they are currently in the process of revamping and updating the entire salon and continuing to grow the spa and its services. But they said what makes An Va successful is its approach to staff education, which they said fills a void in the industry.
"We're always wanting our team to grow," Gecik said.
She and Zaborowski said they support their staff in endeavors as long as they are professional and education-based. The stylists at the salon are not employees but independent contractors who can take their career where they want.
"Education is our foundation," Zaborowski said. "It's how we started and got where we are."
In addition to traveling out of state for educational purposes, An Va also supports staff members if they want to bring new information, products or services to the salon. One staff member is teaching L'Oreal Professional products to the rest of the staff in-house.
"It's a very happy environment. Everyone is there to help you," said Tiffany Holdgate, who has worked at An Va since the day it opened. "This was the first place I worked independently and they made it a very easy transition. … If you have any concerns, [Gecik and Zaborowski] are there to help you out."
Giving back to the community has been important to Zaborowski and Gecik since the beginning of An Va. Each year at the staff holiday party, they donate to charities chosen by each staff member. These have included the Cherry Street Mission, Toledo Food Bank and Sara's Garden in Wauseon.
"We recently went downtown and fed the homeless with Fellowship Matters," Gecik said. "We're constantly looking at ways to give back to the community."
They have also donated back-to-school supplies and held coat and blanket drives for families in need.
"We try to change it up so no one gets bored," Zaborowski said.
The celebration on Oct. 19 is another way the salon is giving back to the community. The event is free for anyone to attend, whether they've been a client at An Va or not. It runs from 3-7 p.m. and will feature product giveaways, swag bags and discounts on products and services. Toledo musician Jeff Stewart will perform and there will be free food and drinks.
"We're giving back to clients and the community for all the support," Zaborowski said. "Everything's on us – food, drinks, music – to say thank you for the continuous support and helping us grow."

"Our first combined show, Railway Interchange/2011, was a huge success, and we're expecting even greater industry participation in 2013," said Simpson. "In Minneapolis we had a sold out exhibit hall and over 8,000 railroader attendees. We anticipate another sellout for Railway Interchange/2013 encourage all suppliers to apply for exhibit space soon."
Exhibitors and attendees alike will benefit from the massive exhibit floor at Railway Interchange/2013. RSI alone will host over 400 10-foot by 10-foot booths. New to the mix for the 2013 show, RSI has space on the exhibit floor for hospitality and office suites for companies who are also renting exhibit space.

Sometimes, karma really does work.
Such was the case Tuesday, Oct. 31 (Halloween, appropriately enough) when Missouri Circuit Court Judge Robert H. Dierker announced he was throwing out the $24.5 million judgment against Spawn creator Todd McFarlane, originally awarded to Tony Twist in July. The former hockey player had sued McFarlane for unauthorized use of his name in the comic book series Spawn.
Dierker said judges shirk their duty when they fail to rectify a mistake made by a jury.
Dierker, who presided over the original case, threw out the judgment, stating that the case lacked "credible evidence that McFarlane at any time intended to injure Twist's marketability, to capitalize on the market recognition of the name Tony Twist, or in fact derived any ... benefit whatsoever." He added that when McFarlane first used the name Tony Twist, the plaintiff had no market recognition and "was earning precisely zero income from endorsements."
"As I read this judgment, it was plain to me that the judge found the case lacked the credible evidence expected in a lawsuit of this magnitude," McFarlane said, "Mr. Twist, with his contingency lawyer, spent nothing on this case, while I'm out a half-million dollars and two years of my life defending my name because I knew I was right. Sometimes doing the right thing is the most difficult. I find it amusing that the corporate entities named as defendants in this case took the path of least resistance before the fight was finished."
McFarlane plans to pursue repayment of some costs from Twist.
Throughout the 22-page judgment, Dierker stated that his court had seldom seen less credible evidence, and called the testimony of two of the plaintiff's witnesses "equally unworthy of belief" and "wholly unbelievable."
McFarlane has said since the trial began that this case was not about money, it's about the First Amendment.
"This is way beyond Tony Twist, this is a First Amendment issue. If I lost and the damages were only $10, I'd still fight this thing, because you can't let what happened stand. I'm not trying to cover my ass on this. What I was just found guilty of, there are now thousands of people in the entertainment and publishing industry guilty of the same crime. We all became guilty. You can take my name out and put in CNN or Time Warner or Stephen King ... you're guilty," McFarlane said back in July.
The judge seemed to agree.
Dierker noted that "Spawn is a work of fiction," and "there is no resemblance between plaintiff and the comic book Twist whatsoever." He also said "the court cannot find a single case, certainly no Missouri case, in which injunctive relief has been granted to prevent the use of a name by a writer or publisher in a work of fiction."

According to Islamic law, sex is limited to between those who are married. But when it comes to exactly what you can do, and how sex is generally discussed, Islam itself is quite open. Sex is of course for procreation, but it's also for pleasure. There are countless names for the penis and the vagina in the Arabic language. You'd think our only problem is to decide which one to use. Well, think again. Our problem is that we don't use any of them. Lately there are lots Arab Sex Videos appearing on internet. We collect these Arab Porn Videos of beautiful Arab Women for your pleasure.
