allergic reaction
By mocha
from Vancouver
I bought five of these bras at great expense, and have discovered that I am allergic to nylon. Wherever the bra touches my skin in the back and on the shoulders, I now have severe itching and weeping sores that have resulted in horrible scarring. There is also too much padding in this bra. I didn't want to add cup sizes, and my breasts do not look real at all in these bras. Disappointed.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

waste of my money
By Grace
from OTTAWA
I bought this bra from the Spanx website in the US; after I paid for the exchange and custom; it was expensive! The worst thing is, it's not even comfortable, because the straps are not adjustable(too short,) it kept rising up and I have to constantly pulling it down. I bought much cheaper bras that are way comfortable than this. I also owned the all hosiery bra-Spanx Bra-llelujah Bra (I bought it many years ago from tsc,)it was even more uncomfortable than the one I mention above. It's in the garbage not too long after I bought it; they keep pulling up in the back, flatten my chest, and quite frankly, not a very good looking bra.I have brought panties, socks, tights from Spanx in the past, I don't like any of them so far.I should just stop right??

Almost good!
By Still cooking
from PORT DOVER
Unlike a lot of other Spanx products I have tried, this bra is comfortable. It is overpriced. My biggest criticism is the thick padding which would work well for somebody with an A-cup, but I am a 36DD - I do not need an inch of padding. I would say that the excessive padding makes the cup a bit small.
did not fit
By nana62
from Vernon, b.c.
This is the third time I have ordered a spans bra and I have sent them all back. I tried different sizes and they still did not fit. I will not be ordering again. Too bad because the quality seemed great.
not for me
By Liza G.
from Coquitlam,B.C.
I hesitate to write a negative review for this bra as I am a fairly satisfied Spanx customer for many of their other products, but I'm so picky when it comes to underwire..I'm constantly looking for that perfect one. Alas, this one is not. The material is nice and soft, but the straps (for me), should be adjustable,& the underwire is still a source of discomfort, even after having it on for a few minutes. I needed to return it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Awesome Bra!
By MatMaven
from Prince George
I just got the bra, ordered true to size as was recommended - when I put it on I said "wow".The most comfortable and best fitting bra I have ever had. I went to my drawer and took out all of my other bras to make room for these ones.I have recommneded the bra to several people.Love them.

Comfy but expensive!
By Artist
Just received this bra and tried it on right away. Feels quite comfy and I especially like the softness of the cups and the wide no-hooks band in the back. I haven't worn it except for the try-on, but I'm pretty sure it will be better than the bras I wear now. I do agree with the other reviewers that adjustable straps would be better & the adjusters could be made from silicone or soft plastic, not metal!, so it would still be comfortable. Even at the blockbuster price, I think it's quite expensive for a bra, unless it lasts a long time and stays in the same condition!
The most comfortable bra ever!
By Patti
from Toronto, Ontario
This bra is so comfortable. I love it. I have always had a problem with my straps sliding down because of my sloping shoulders. The first day I wore it not once did I have to fix my straps so I ordered another in the black the next day. Also nothing digs into you. Everything is smooth. I love it.
Needs adjustable straps
By Crystal
from FORT ERIE
This bra fit small and flat in the cups and they are not stretch, but worse yet is the lack of adjustable straps. I wanted to keep it but it just was BAD fitting! Back it went. Restocking , shipping, had to go back any way!
The name says it all.
By Deber
from Mississauga, Ontario
Love it. Fits great and gives you great shape, lift and cleavage. Being a smaller busted woman it looks great. Just as comfortable as the Ahh bra, maybe even more so cause of the way it makes you look and feel.

Twenty-Seven Percent
December 15, 2012
Read: 2 Peter 3:1-13
Therefore, since all thesethingswill bedissolved, what manner of persons ought you to bein holy conduct and godliness? 2 Peter 3:11
Peoples attitudes toward Bible prophecy vary widely. Some believers are so preoccupied with it that they are constantly talking about the latest world events, thinking they are biblical signs that Christ could return at any moment. Others are so casual in their view of prophecy that it seems as if they dont believe its relevant to the Christian life at all. So is prophecy important? Here are some facts to help put things in perspective. There are 31,124 verses in the Bible. Of these verses, 8,352 have prophetic content of some kind. Thats 27 percent of Scripture! Because prophecy occupies more than a quarter of Scripture, the believer should deeply value its role in Gods revelation. But in doing so, we should remember why God put it there. After describing how the world will end, Peter concludes, Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives (2 Peter 3:11 NIV). In other words, we should make choices daily for godly living that conform to our future dwelling place. God has given us information about the future to glorify Himself, to assure us of His sovereign control of history, and to challenge us to godly living.
He is coming! I shall know Him, Jesus! My beloved Lord! Changed forever to His likeness; Oh! what joy this will afford. Dimmock
Look for Christs return and youll live for Christs glory.

Worth The Risk
December 17, 2012
Read: Acts 7:518:2
For by graceyou have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
What would one give in exchange for a new iPad? One 17-year-old boy gave a kidney! Apparently, he couldnt afford an iPad and wanted one so badly that he was willing to risk surgery. Stephen, in Acts 7, took a serious risk, but it was for proclaiming the good news about Jesus. While performing miracles, he was seized, falsely accused of blasphemy against God and the Mosaic law, and brought before the high priest (6:8-14). In response to a question from the high priest (7:1), Stephen took a risk and preached a sermon he knew his hearers would not like. He said that throughout Israels history, the nation had repeatedly rejected Gods messengers. And now, they had rejected the Messiah. Stephens sermon provoked a strong reaction. They cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord; and they cast him out of the city and stoned him (vv.57-58). Why would Stephen risk his life to preach about Jesus? He desperately wanted his hearers to know that because of Jesus death and resurrection, they no longer needed to live under the law but could live under grace and forgiveness (6:13-15; Eph. 2:8-9). Jesus died so that we may have eternal life.
Lord, You have done so much for us. You give us our very breath and blessing upon blessing. We give ourselves back to You to use to spread the glorious gospel of Christ. Amen.
A Christians life is a window through which others can see Jesus.

Lately, I have been thinking about how we Christians should be living differently than the world. I have also been thinking about how Love of God should be expressed in our words, deeds and thoughts. We know that Salvation is a relationship and that if we say we love God but live loving contrary things to God, we lie on where our loyalties lie. What do you think about 1 John 2: 3 - 6?
Nothing seems tiresome or painful when you are working for a Master who
pays well, who rewards even a cup of cold water given for love of Him.
- St. Dominic Savio (1842-1857)
We must pray without tiring, for the salvation of mankind does not depend on material success, nor on sciences that cloud the intellect. Neither does it depend on arms and human industries, but on Jesus alone.

Read: John 16:25-33
In theworld you will havetribulation; but beof good cheer, I have overcomethe world. John 16:33
I was glad to see the final days of the year draw to a close. It had held so much sorrow, sickness, and sadness. I was ready to welcome January with its very own brass band! But as the first month of the new year arrived, so did one bit of sad news after another. Several friends lost their parents. My dads brother slipped away in his sleep. Friends discovered they had cancer. A colleagues brother and a friends son both died tragically and abruptly. Rather than the sad times ceasing, the new year seemed to bring a whole new tsunami of sorrow. John 16:33 tells us, In the world you will have tribulation. Even Gods children are not promised a life of ease, of prosperity, nor of good health. Yet we are never alone in our trouble. Isaiah 43:2 reminds us that when we pass through deep waters, God is with us. Although we dont always understand Gods purposes in the trials we experience, we can trust His heart because we know Him. Our God is a God of abundant love and neither death nor life. . . nor things present nor things to come [will ever] separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Rom. 8:38-39). When trouble comes, His presence is His promise.
Swift cometh His answer, so clear and so sweet; Yea, I will be with thee, thy troubles to meet; I will not forget thee, nor fail thee, nor grieve; I will not forsake thee, I never will leave. Flint
Faith is believing that God is present when all we hear is silence.

Like Jesus
January 24, 2013
Read: 1 John 2:5-11
Hewho says he abidesin [Jesus] ought himself also to walk just as He walked. 1 John 2:6
During a childrens church service, the teacher talked about the first of the Ten Commandments: You shall have no other gods before Me (Ex. 20:3). She suggested some ways for the kids to keep this command. She said, Nothing should come before Godnot candy, not schoolwork, not video games. She told them that putting God first meant that time with Him reading the Bible and praying should come before anything else. An older child in the group responded with a thought-provoking question. She asked if being a Christian was about keeping rules or if instead God wanted to be involved in all areas of our life. Sometimes we make the mistake of viewing the Bible as a list of rules. Certainly obeying God (John 14:21) and spending time with Him are important, but not because we need to be rule-keepers. Jesus and the Father had a loving relationship. When we have a relationship with God, we desire to spend time with Him and obey Him so we can become more like Jesus. John said, He who says he abides in [Jesus] ought himself also to walk just as He walked (1 John 2:6). Hes the example we can follow. When we want to understand how to love, or how to be humble, or how to have faith, or even how to set our priorities, we can look at Jesus and follow His heart.
Lord, as I look ahead to another day, I give myself to be led by Your Spirit. Give discernment in priorities, but most of all a sensitive heart to live like Jesus didfilled with Your love and power. Amen.
Jesus calls us to follow Him.

Guest List
January 25, 2013
Read: Luke 14:7-14
When you givea feast, invite the poor, themaimed, the lame, theblind. And you will be blessed. Luke 14:13-14
Qumran was a first-century Jewish community that had isolated itself from outside influences to prepare for the arrival of the Messiah. They took great care in devotional life, ceremonial washings, and strict adherence to rules of conduct. Surviving documents show that they would not allow the lame, the blind, or the crippled into their communities. This was based on their conviction that anyone with a physical blemish was ceremonially unclean. During their table fellowship, disabled people were never on their guest lists. Ironically, at that same time the Messiah of Israel was at work in the cities and villages of Judea and Galilee. Jesus proclaimed His Fathers kingdom, brought teaching and comfort, and worked mighty miracles. Strikingly, He proclaimed: When you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind. And you will be blessed (Luke 14:13-14). The contrast between Jesus words and the guest list of the Qumran spiritual elite is instructive to us. Often we like to fellowship with people who look, think, and act like us. But our Lord exhorts us to be like Him and open our doors to everyone.
The gospel must be shared with all, Not just with those like you and me; For God embraces everyone Who turns to Him to set them free. Sper
The inclusive gospel cannot be shared by an exclusive people. George Sweeting

County, city hold talks
The Lee County Board of Commissioners and Sanford City Council voted Tuesday night to form a subcommittee with representatives from each respective board to discuss interlocal agreements.
The two governmental bodies met for a joint meeting to discuss the 15 interlocal agreements Tuesday night at the McSwain Extension Education and Agriculture Center.
Lee County Commissioner Chairman Charlie Parks suggested the commissioners submit a new letter to the council with their concerns and, per Commissioner Amy Dalrymple's suggestion, select three members from each board to discuss each agreement. Then a date would be set for the two full boards to meet again with a facilitator, possibly from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Institute of Government, he said.Sanford City Council member Rebecca Wyhof said both boards are interested in looking out for the taxpayers. Keeping the Planning and Development Department intact — the main interlocal agreement discussed during the meeting — is an important service for the residents and saves the two government entities from duplicating services, Wyhof said
Lee County Commissioner Jim Womack, who originally suggested the county take over Planning and Development for itself, said he is aware of how the county has been served in the past, but is apprehensive about the future.
"My big concern is we are not ready to embrace the shale gas industry," said Womack, who serves as the chairman of the N.C. Energy and Mining Commission. "If we don't start immediately doing the things we need to do, we will be behind the power curve."
Sanford City Council member Samuel Gaskins said he was surprised by conservative board of commissioners for wanting to expand government by duplicating services.
"I think all of us are intending to cut back, not expand, government," Gaskins said.
Womack said oil and gas industry leaders are anticipating drilling in Lee County in two years and the county should not be "fettered and shackled and not able to exploit the blessing Lee County has in natural resources."
The two boards also discussed changing the sales tax redistribution, but did not take any formal action. A full story on the discussion will be available in Thursday's edition of The Herald.
The Lee County Board of Commissioners will also meet with the Broadway Board of Commissioners at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Broadway Community Building, located at 111 N. Main St., Broadway, to discuss the sales tax redistribution and interlocal agreements.

Midwest Living Review
The Mackinac State Historic Parks encompass a collection of properties telling the storied past of the Straits of Mackinac. The sites are Fort Mackinac, Mackinac Island State Park, Historic Downtown Mackinac, and The Richard and Jane Manoogian Mackinac Art Museum on Mackinac Island, and Michilimackinac State Park, Colonial Michilimackinac, Historic Mill Creek Discovery Park and Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse in Mackinaw City. A three-pronged approach to interpretation—original restored buildings, exhibits and living history—tell about fur trading, local exploration and conflicts dating back to the American Revolution.
The original backdrop makes learning about history all the more effective, whether it's a fortress decked out with the cannons once used to salute the king's birthday or the store in which a medical digestive breakthrough was inspired after a man was accidentally shot in the stomach and the wound never closed. Adding costumed actors to the mix enhances the experience. In Mackinac City, waves lap on the Lake Michigan shoreline while interpreters in period dress cook pigeons (really, Cornish game hens), dip candles, churn butter and even get married by priests doubling as British Redcoats.
New and increasingly interactive events interpret daily life in the forts, as well as the "murder and mayhem" that have occurred here through the years. A zip line at Historic Mill Creek Discovery Park adds a thrill option to guided explorations through and around a vintage sawmill.

And seriously. What is so offensive about nudity? Everyone has either one set of parts or the other set!
Apple has removed the photography app 500px from the App Store over concerns that images of nudity are too easy to find. And... wow, unless there's some huge part of this story we still don't know, the jokes, ridicule, frustration, face-palming, condemnations, complaints, and triple entendres pretty much all write themselves. What makes this even more asinine is that the update that got 500px pulled was the one designed to make nude images even harder to find. Sarah Perez reports for TechCrunch:
The Apple reviewer told the company that the update couldn't be approved because it allowed users to search for nude photos in the app. This is correct to some extent, but 500px had actually made it tough to do so, explains Tchebotarev. New users couldn't just launch the app and locate the nude images, he says, the way you can today on other social photo-sharing services like Instagram or Tumblr, for instance. Instead, the app defaulted to a "safe search" mode where these types of photos were hidden. To shut off safe search, 500px actually required its users to visit their desktop website and make an explicit change.
It's important to remember we're not talking with porn here. 500px doesn't allow porn. We're talking about nudity in artistic photography. Apple's always made it clear they had two developer platforms, the App Store for curated apps, and web apps for anything goes. Porn has gone the web app route. There's no reason 500px shouldn't be in the App Store with every other app that allows access to nude photos, including, as Phil Nickinson of Android Central pointed out, Instagram, Twitter, and Google+, and of course, every web browser app, including APPLE'S OWN SAFARI.
That's why any app with full web access has to display a warning for the kinds of content that can be found on the full web. If 500px didn't include the proper age rating and warning, however, it seems like that could have been easily corrected before things got so public.
I won't mention the tethering apps, knock off platform games, scam apps, and other nonsense that actually does get approved, because when you're dealing with humans, human mistakes happen. This feels like one of those mistakes, and hopefully it gets corrected quickly.
It's also important to point out that this isn't "censorship". Apple has the right to decide what's in, and what's not in their store. No government or other power forced Apple to remove any apps. They exercised their own discretion, just like Walmart does with its shelves, and NBC and the New York Times do their content. That doesn't mean it sucks any less, just that it's not censorship.
Update: The Verge received a comment from Apple PR saying 500px contained "pornographic" images and customers had complained about "possible child porn" in the app. The developer claimed it was the first 500px heard of that.

Apple removes photography app 500px over nudity concerns
Hard to believe that Apple is *still* creating vague guidelines for reviewers to use, and applying them unequally across the store.
This is just too bad to be true.
500px is banned over nudity and NRA apps are available for kids...............way to go apple.
Still a handful other 500px apps available here in the Dutch App store, And now everybody knows about it. Some serious promotion of 500px.....
OK, I keep reading about apps being removed due to the ability to find nudity in them. I'm sorry, but I think the easiest app to find nudity/porn on the iPhone/iPad/iPod touch is (drum roll please...) Mobile Safari.
In fact, any browser is capable of finding nudity/porn pretty darn easy these days.
So is Apple going to pull Chrome, iCabMobile or Safari from iOS?
They need to stop pulling apps like 500px until they clean their own house.
Also, I suspect the new Flickr app is next on the chopping block. I was able to find nude images pretty darn quickly in that app.
As much as I love Apple for some things like my iPhone and iPad, I get very irritated over things like this.
I get most of my iPorn from Tumblr anyway.

In what is surely the greatest combination of flavors since you got YOUR chocolate in MY peanut butter, two of your favorite Celebreality superstars just made some sweet music together. Literally.
TMZ reports that Flavor of Love star Flavor Flav joined Rock of Love star Bret Michaels on-stage in Dubuque, Iowa (of all the places!), for a killer version of Public Enemy's 1990 Top 40 smash, "911 Is A Joke." As you'll see from the (admittedly crappy*) video above, Flav started the jawn off a capella style, but then Bret and his band joined in with some ferocious instrumental backing, at which point everyone in the audience got up and then got, got down.
What do you guys think? Should Flav and Bret go out on tour together? Or should they stick to romancin' the ladies?

In WoW/LOTRO/etc etc a tank class is purely standalone sufficient to keep mobs off of other people in the team.
No one person in GW2 is sufficient for this. Maybe 2 or 3 people working various controls can do something that is functionally the same, thus the role is filled. But in GW2 the role is filled by a synergy between multiple people, not by one person running a particular class. And yes some classes are going to be much better at one strategy than others.
And on the other hand the limited nature of each individual also means that having everyone able to fill that role is a waste. You want to minimize the number of people you need for a particular function. If you can get it so that you only need two people with controls rather than 3 then you can have that other person do DPS or a group venom buff and kill faster.
You can only choose so many skills. Everyone does not do everything. FAR FAR FAR from it. You have serious contraints. Not only can no one person really fill any role. But you need to be smart an economical to get enough skills between all your members to fill the roles you need for your strategy.

We'll have some groups that tends to play best with certain classes, and they will be a little picky.
And we'll have some players who are soo used to uber skill X that they will refuse to play w/ anything else, and they will be the most annoying / picky.
You can't really fight human nature, no matter how hard a game tries to compensate. The good thing is that you aren't forced to follow these people if you don't want to, and if there's people being 'tards in chat, it doesn't really effect you all that much.
The tradeoff is that you may have to show more initiative when these sorts of situations happen, and may need to form your own groups as a result. Not a huge deal, but I'm sure people will complain about it.

There can't be LF control/damage/support because they're not roles. You are not a control class, you are not a damage class. In battle you do all three, it's inevitable, there is no net, no healer or tank to save you, so if the control or support guy dies, it's over pretty quickly (and since he can't maintain his control or support all the time he will die quickly to begin with). People will need to attune their builds, especially in dungeon.
But that being said, it doesn't mean you will just go after getting 5 players... don't dream.
It's going to be : LF players.
Then the real fun begins. People will need to synergize their builds, and it's not going to be that easy for some players. The main problem is going to be the teambuild wall, some players just won't let you suggest them to take a weapon or a skill (because it just helps the team), they will want to run their build (like we saw in GW1, but worse since there is not healer so there is no net, if the guy doesn't work with the team it's gonna be wipe fest...).

I'm not to sure what skills each class gets. I like support so im guessing guardian would posses the ability to load up those skills.I was also wandering who gets the aoe heal?

you are going to see a lot of spam for guardians and water elementalists , even though you can do a dungeon with all 5 dps classes just spamming dps and dodging smaller aoe hits will still need to get support heals and absorbs. No one runs a perfect game all the time so you will still need a good support team.
If you been following Guild Wars 2 closely the only different between a healer in say wow or a healer in guild wars 2 is in GW2 all classes are held accountable for their own actions in dodging and messing up. In other games healers were held accountable for not healing enough when dps classes did entirely stupid crap or tanks bit off more then they could chew. If you learn your classes and play correctly and use the dodge mechanic and other tools to avoid damage then the game will be a breeze for your groups. If not you still have some guardian absorbs and ele healing to help keep you alive when you couldnt avoid something by chance.

Still thinking that the tools in the group decide what tactics will be used. So people may need to switch out skills before certain fights. But every combination of classes can survive and beat a dungeon, as long as the players are willing to addapt their class to the attack plan. Ans tactics are willing to addapt their tactics to the players abbilities.

I'm sure some people will "LFG, looking for tank" "LFG Looking for heals", etc..., out of habit and not knowing the game.
The combination of professions that make up a party don't really mean much in this game. The most important thing is to have smart, adaptable team mates who work well with others. I don't know how you advertise that? "LFG, two more, smart team players only"?
I don't know. Since everything but trait point allocation can be changed outside of combat, and traits with in each line offer versatility for different build types, a player who knows there profession can fill a number of roles tailored to an individiual situation.
If a Dungeon is known to have encounters that need a particular function, you might see something like "LFG, Need another player willing to spec for knock downs", or "Looking for someone able to spec for condition removal", etc... It's not as cut and dry as "Looking for support", or "Looking for Control".
Five smart, adaptable players could all be of the same profession and still do well in a Dungeon run, if they can work well together and adjust their strategies and builds on the fly.
There is going to be a learning curve on how best to approach Dungeons in the game and how best to recruit team mates. I think, in the end, people who do a lot of Dungeon runs will build a friend's list around people they've been comfortable doing runs with in the past and a "black list" of people who just don't seem to be able to find a way to fit in. More casual Dungeoneers will probably just open up a call for "LFG, have two, need three more", assemble a pug and see what they can do with it. If there is a specific need, people may ask for someone who can fulfill that need, but there may be a number of professions able to spec skills and traits needed to fill that need.

The Critical Hit Pretzel!
Basically haha. Many classes do get some sort of control/support mixed in though which helps out. In the end, not having support/control of some sort will make it much harder to do stuff. Its less that there is not 'trinity' in this game, and more so its balanced to make people stand more of a chance on their own and clutch on the 'downed' aspect to make up for it a bit.
If your not doing support/control at all, your just making things very difficult, everyone should be providing it to some degree.

Not should, will. The weapons skills all come with some mix of damage, control and support and you'd be a fool not to use utilities (and even traits) to make up the difference. Ultimately, this is a game where balanced builds will reign supreme and versatility will shine so brightly that the archaic concept of "roles" will be driven deep into the shadows of the nether to be forgotten, forever.

Here is the FACT! Some classes do some roles better then others. Top passive HOT time is a guardian speced to do so. Top AoE damage is a Elementlist speced to do so. Each dungeon will have parts that are easier if you have the right tools. So people will look for the tools for an easy win and some may require it as we have seen in every MMO we have played. Only way to stop this is if ANet balances the classes so everyone does each job equally. I dont see this happening so get ready for players asking for X class thats speced for Y role.

You're not looking at the big picture, you're just comparing some numbers between professions and saying "that one is bigger that this one". Well doesn't work like that in a fight in GW2. Let's take the example of the guardian healing (because some people are still thinking it's going to be the healer-ish class), first, regeneration doesn't depend on the class it depends on the level and the healing power (which scales the same between classes since it comes from stuff and trait line stat).

Second is raw healing, guardian has a higher base with some skills, sure, but there is a problem, either there is a freaking long cooldown (30s is freaking long, 10s is already freaking long) or it's just way to small. It doesn't matter if you "spam" heal on someone, giving him 2k HP every 5s when he can loose 10K in 6 isn't just efficient, you don't heal a spike with that, they might have the best numbers, but those numbers are useless if you just look at them like that, it like telling someone you can fill a watertank in one day and he can only do it in 2 days, but the tank need to be full within the hour, faster doesn't mean useful.

So what is that healing for ? it's to buy time, like any other support, buy time till the guy's selfheal is up, buy time till the condition removal (if he was suffering from a damage condition) is up or the condition gone etc. The main goal is never to refill entirely the HP bar, it's to keep it managable, but it's not the only way to do it, you are not a healer, for instance if you have a heavy protection+weakness teambuild, you don't need that must healing, because you won't loose that much HP to begin with when you're hit.

It's the same with everything, the orientation your build takes is complemented by your party members, but it's not black & white, like you're support, you're control and you only do that, it's a mix between all builds giving you equal damage, support control in the end. So the only thing people will do is copy a wiki teambuild that works, but it's not going to be the best, because there is no best, there is only balanced.

Im not talking pigeonhole someone into a Hard Trinity role, like making the Guardian the classic team healer or the Warrior the tank. I am talking about guilds asking people to spec their classes to their strengths. So lets take a Elementlist using a staff in water. Thats their support/healing role being put to use. Now lets take a Guardian with a 1h mace and off hand, thats the guardians biggest support/healing weapon set. Now get both classes spec everything into healing so they end up being playing heavey support and just a medium ranged DPS class. As it stands now the Guardian between the two classes would heal more by the end of the dungeon run then the Elementalist. But if the Elemnetlist was speced heavey into AoE (what they do better then any other class) You would get more bang for your buck in the team.
Because the classes are not balanced equal doing any part of any role, DPS, Healing and Damage Mitigation/Control. Means that guilds and players in general will ask for players to play what their class is AWESOME at over just good at. Take a team of 5 random classes that are speced for what they are just good at vs a team of 5 that spec their classes what they are AWESOME at, what team has the edge? Because of this a guild in WvW of 40 players running with everyone in their classes best spec means they have a 5-10-20% advantage over a guild thats just specing willy nilly. This will force other guilds to follow suit if they want to play on the same level or ANet will have to make all classes do all roles equal. Follow me?
As it stands now with all classes not being equal at all roles we will see builds come out that are not only considered optimum but required by most of the community. So as the OP said, Looking for Guardian speced for support, Looking for Elementlist speced for AoE. Its gona happen as the game is designed now. Will Anet change that? Who knows!!!!

is this the real reason that Verizon is siding with Samsung over the patent law suits? Verizon can't be happy that AT&T will have a faster iPhone.
iPhone 5 will support HSPA+ 4G technology
During a presentation at Macworld Asia, China Unicom revealed that, as long and widely rumored, iPhone 5 will support HSPA+ networks.
Japanese IT news site "PC Watch" tells that, Research vice president of China Unicom, Huan Wenliang, told iPhone 5 will support W-CDMA based high-speed data transfer standard HSPA Evolution "HSPA+" (21Mbps) at keynote speech in Macworld Asia 2011.
While HSPA+ is really a 3.5G technology, T-Mobile, AT&T, and now many other carriers have been marketing it as 4G for a while now in order to compete with real 4G networks like Verizon LTE. (Turns out it's easier to print 4G on a box than build out an actual LTE network, go figure?)
It will be interesting to see how an HSPA+ iPhone will be marketed by AT&T. Will Apple let them call it a 4G iPhone?

iPhone 5 will support HSPA+ 4G technology
This means the death of the Verizon iPhone for sure
Is Sprint real 4g?
Ya. Sprint is WiMax 4G. Still diferent than LTE though.
As much as I like the white iPhone 5 shown in the picture above, I'm not sure if I like the big question mark on it yet. Maybe it will grow on me :P
If people won't leave Verizon for faster AT&T data now they probably won't do it for a "4G" version. I know I don't even care if I ever get an LTE phone since I'm on wifi 99% of the time and 4G would only prove to be a worse battery drain.
Besides, what good is AT&T's HSPA+ when you're only able to use 2GB of it a month unless you're grandfathered in? Nobody will be switching for limited data amounts at this point in any event, it will just keep people from leaving AT&T for Verizon maybe.
some people CANT leave, like me
Thanks I will send u a pic only if you are white and American.....hope you like roast beef
As long as it's on the rare side and kinda bloody!
Ahhhh wildlife, and the elusive Alaskan Beaver!
how about white Russians? :P
If HSPA+ supports 21Mbps, the fasts I've seen an Andrid phone go was about 24Mbps, and that's in the BEST conditions. Heck, when I did side by side comparisons of the phone (I'm not sure which one it was as it was by buddy's phone) my iPhone 4 pinged faster than his when doing the Speedtest.net app test, and when loading webpages, the iPhone actually loaded most pages faster.
I must then ask WHY would you NEED to ever have to download something THAT FAST on a freaking phone??? For the most part, everything I've ever needed to do on my iPhone can be done to my satisfaction at current speeds. A few apps would benefit from a bump in speed, like maps and navigation apps, but overall the only thing it's going to do is help you, the customer, get to your data cap faster and start paying butt-raping overage penalties.
I'm not stream Netflix on my iPhone, though I do occasionally watch YouTube clips or videos from news websites, but that's really about it, so I don't really see the need for blazing fast speeds on my iPhone.
I've gotten as high as 40Mbps down on my Thunderbolt (Verizon Android phone). Often get 25+.
Why do I need it? I have unlimited data and unlimited tethering and I tether my laptop and my WiFi-only tablet to it all the time. And my g/f tethers her iPad to my phone frequently as well. I got a lot of work done last Friday on my laptop, as she drove us for half a day to our weekend destination, by being connected to my Thunderbolt's Hotspot. I only had 3G for a lot of that, but still, the point is, there are plenty of reasons to have a phone that can do 40Mbps downloads - but especially if you're using it as a hotspot for multiple tablets and laptops that are all sharing that bandwidth.
i was thinking the same thing as caca . If you're downloding faster, you will be able to do more in the same amount of time. That will then entice you to use more data, at least it would for me, because one of the things that limits my data use is the speed with which I can use it. Those of us with unlimited plans will LOVE 4G (not AT&T 's HSPA+ 3.5G).
Being Japanese reporting on Chinese events does not make this any less of a rumor than anywhere else. Why would Unicom know any more than AT&T? Sorry, but why do people take something more seriously when it's not in their native tongue?
China is a country where the government bureaucracy and companies feel it's ok to lie without repercussion. We can't take info seriously until its OUT
Of course the iPhone 5 will be 4g, first this is why there was such a delay on it, and second Apple does a minimum 1 year product cycle, they can not wait another year to produce and 4G iPhone, that would place them too far behind the curve...
The new iphone will have LTE.
Whoa! I cannot wait. Company phones for all.
I live in NY. AT&T iPhone users will definitely be on a faster network than I'm on with this Verizon iPhone

EAST BEND - The Lady Falcons keep winning - and winning big.
An experienced Forbush squad has reeled off four-straight victories to open the 2013 season, including three shutouts in a dominating start to the year.
After 5-0 and 6-0 wins over Ashe County and Trinity to kick off the season, the Falcons routed North Wilkes Friday night 9-0 to continue their fast start.
Nancy Rios found the back of the net 17 minutes into the game to jump-start the offensive explosion. Two minutes later, Haley Lindsay followed with a goal.
Lindsay punched it in again before the halftime whistle as the Falcons grabbed a 4-0 lead at the break.
Forbush topped their first-half scoring performance with five goals in the second half, including a 72nd-minute goal by Sheridan Caudle that ended the game courtesy of the nine-run mercy rule.
The Falcons followed up the drubbing with a 3-1 victory over West Stokes in a showdown between ranked teams in the state.
Maddi Morsch scored all three goals to power 14th-ranked Forbush to the upset victory over No. 8 West Stokes.
The win was the Falcons fourth-straight win to open the season, likely propelling them up the state rankings.
At the game, both squads raised money for The Wounded Warriors project.
Forbush returns to the pitch Tuesday night against West Wilkes in Millers Creek.

Snapshots from Singapore: 12 Must-Try Dishes
I asked a native Singaporean why the people of Singapore are so food crazy. His answer was blunt and typical. "It's the only damn culture we have." With such an influx of new immigrants and ex-pats, it's no wonder that food is the unifying factor for all of Singapore's citizens. With so many flavors to represent, Singapore is absolutely clogged with places to eat; everything from the affordable hawker centers and eating houses to numerous high-end restaurants. Here are the 12 must-try dishes. More

Chicago Wolves defenseman Nathan Oystrick won't be planning a trip to any amusement parks this offseason. The ups and downs and dips and dives of the rides there would pale in comparison to the real-life roller coaster he has been on for the past year.
The last 12 months have seen the Wolves blueliner wrap up his first full season in the National Hockey League; get married; meet his biological mother for the first time, 26 years after his adoption; be assigned to the American Hockey League out of training camp; suffer the first major injury of his professional career, which required his jaw to be wired shut for more than a month; and get traded.
Those mechanical loop de loops aren't looking so exciting anymore, are they?
Oystrick has had to hold on tight, but that hasn't stopped him from enjoying the ride.
"It's probably been the weirdest year of my life," he laughed. "There have been a lot of ups and downs."
Let's start with an up: after winning the Calder Cup with the Wolves in 2008, Oystrick hit the gym hard over the summer and earned himself a spot on the Atlanta Thrashers roster out of training camp. He wound up spending the entire 2008-09 campaign with the Wolves parent club.
"Nathan always had the talent, but he didn't put the time in during the summers," Wolves General Manager Wendell Young recalled. "Once he realized that hockey is a year-round job, he reaped the benefits right away. He and I worked together one summer and he made the Atlanta Thrashers right out of training camp. It takes some guys longer than others to learn the importance of conditioning, and some never figure it out, but Nathan understands that now and he saw the difference it made right away."
"It was pretty cool being able to finally make it and play my first game in the NHL," Oystrick said. "It was exciting and kind of nerve-racking but I definitely learned a lot of things playing in Atlanta last year. You're playing against the best players in the world on a nightly basis. I think I grew up a little bit up there too."
The Thrashers failed to make the playoffs, which was a bit of a down coming off a championship season, but Oystrick packed an impressive amount of life-changing events into his summer – the first of which was finding and meeting his biological mother (see sidebar). The second of which was marrying his college sweetheart, Lindsay, on July 17 in Marquette, Mich.
{gallery}/breakaway/0910/oystrick:95:140:1:2{/gallery}"We got married outside and the weather held up for us for a couple hours so that was nice," he said. "We had about 200 friends and family there. A lot of my family came from Saskatchewan, but mostly it was people I had met through my four years at Northern Michigan University. (My biological mom) came too, so she got to meet all my family and friends."
Then came a down. Free agent signings led to a surplus of defensemen in Atlanta this fall, and Oystrick was assigned to the Wolves out of training camp.
"This year it didn't work out the way I wanted it to and the way I planned, but its hockey and that's just the way things go," he said. "I came back down here and just tried to be as positive as I could and bring what I learned last year to the team this year and try to help some of the younger guys."
The 27-year-old's good attitude and experience led the coaching staff to name him an alternate captain early in the year, which gave him an added sense of responsibility.
"Being an assistant captain, I have to watch what I do and say and make sure I'm always positive," Oystrick said. "If we're down and we're losing or something's not going right, I can't come in the room throwing things around or yelling at people. I've got to make sure that I keep everyone positive and happy and get everyone back in the game. I'm older now and I've been around a little bit more and some of the younger guys look to me for some leadership."
Oystrick was trucking along at his usual pace when there came a big down, in the form of a slapshot to the face that would sideline him for 20 games. Up until that point, Oystrick had been something of an iron man, never missing a game (to the tune of 201 consecutive matchups) in his first two seasons with the Wolves. The injury tested his resolve.
"It was probably the first time in six years that I've had any type of injury like that where I missed games and missed a lot of time," he said. "I had hurt my thumb earlier in the season, but that wasn't so bad. I was still able to work out every day and come to the rink and be with the guys and be as much a part of the team as I could be while I wasn't playing, but the jaw, that one definitely took a toll on me.
"The first few days I was pretty depressed. Just kind of down," he recalled. "Not being able to eat or open your mouth or just do little things like talking or being able to go to the fridge and grab something to eat quickly was tough. The month and a half that I had my jaw wired shut I had to blend everything and eat milkshakes, soup, Ensures and protein drinks. It was definitely hard. I lost 10 pounds during that time. I lost a couple teeth so I have to go have surgery again this summer. It was not an experience I'd wish anyone to have. Luckily, I had Lindsay at home to kind of keep me sane and make my food for me."
On the night of March 1, Oystrick's roller coaster took another sharp turn.
"I was sitting at home watching a hockey game and I got a phone call from a number I didn't recognize, so I didn't answer it," he said.
The voicemail was from Atlanta's assistant general manager, Larry Simmons, so he called right back.
"I thought maybe Atlanta was just calling to check in on me but Larry told me I'd been traded to Anaheim," he said. "I wasn't really expecting it because I was hurt and I wasn't going to be skating for another month."
The blueliner took the news in stride – his concerns about having to pack up and move assuaged by the assurance that he could remain with the Wolves, as Anaheim does not have an AHL affiliate.
"It's obviously a good situation for me because anytime you're going play in the AHL you want to be in Chicago; it's the best place in the American league to play, so I was happy about that," he said. "We have a good team here, a good group of guys and a good coaching staff, so that kind of calmed me down to hear that I could stay.
"I'm always thankful to Atlanta for giving me the opportunity to play, I'll never have a bad thing to say about them. At the same time, I think from both standpoints it was time for me to move on and do some different things. It's weird because Atlanta is the first organization I played in as a pro, but I am excited. It's good to have a new team and a fresh start."
But Oystrick still had a lot to overcome before he could take advantage of his fresh start, with weeks of recovery from his injury still ahead.
"Coming back working out, I couldn't open my mouth. They were scared for me to go too hard cause I couldn't take a deep breath yet, so I couldn't push myself as much as I wanted to," he explained. "But as soon as I got the wires off, I went to Anaheim and worked out there, and then came back to Chicago and started skating with (Skating and Skills Coach) Kenny McCudden before practice. That was good because he works on a lot of stuff with your hands and your feet and getting your brain to work - little things you might not be able to work on during practice - and that helped me a lot."
Oystrick made his return to the Wolves lineup on March 26 and was called up by his new NHL club six days later – just another high in his year of ups, downs and all arounds.
Through all the chaos and distractions, Oystrick says his wife and family have been the constants keeping him focused.
"I think at times it gets in my head a little bit, but Lindsay is always there to keep me sane and my parents are there for me to call any time," he said. "My sister is really good with stuff like that, too. She's good at calming me down and just saying 'relax, things will work out.' I've got a great bunch of people around me to keep me sane and keep me going and keep me going towards my goal of getting to the NHL again.
"It's been a weird year," he marveled, after reflecting on the list of monumental events that make even his head spin. He isn't done though. Oystrick already is looking ahead to the next turn.
"Hopefully we can end it on a good note and win a Calder Cup."
How A Google Search Led To A Family Reunion
During Nathan Oystrick's rookie season with the Wolves in 2006-07, he was quoted in the yearbook discussing his adoption:
"I was adopted when I was two-and-half-months old," he said. "My parents are great. They told me about it at a young age and they let me read through the adoption papers…I'd like to find my biological mom someday. I started the search last year, but I just got too busy with graduating from college and starting to play professionally right away with the Wolves. It's a long process."
That process got a lot shorter one evening last winter. It was January, and Oystrick was on a road trip with the Atlanta Thrashers when he got a phone call from his then fiancée, Lindsay. She had been watching TV and had seen an actor that shared her last name.
"She went on the internet and googled it to see if there was any relation," Oystrick recounted. "One of the websites that popped up was a genealogy website, so she went on there just for fun and typed in my biological name and the first thing that came up was a baby boy, born December 17, 1982, in Regina, Saskatchewan, named Jordan Robert."
Oystrick was intrigued, but chose not to follow up on the lead.
"It was my first year in the NHL and I didn't want that many things going on at once, so we waited," he explained.
After the season ended, the couple took a vacation to Florida. The first night there, Oystrick replied to the post. Twenty minutes later, he got a response. Twenty-six years after being adopted, he had found his biological mother.
"We started going back and forth on e-mail with questions from the paperwork that she had and the paperwork I had, and everything she asked I knew the answer to and vice versa," he said.
The e-mails led to a phone call, and the phone call led to a visit.
"We talked on the phone for about an hour that night and had a pretty emotional conversation," he said. "She asked if she could come out to Atlanta. Obviously I said yes, I'd been waiting for 26 years to finally meet this woman. So, a couple weeks later I flew my sister down and Kandace, who is my biological mother, came with her sister and her daughter.
"There were a lot of tears involved," Oystrick said. It was me surrounded by five women who were all crying. But it was cool. We hung out for three days and just talked and shared stories about our lives. She brought some letters she had written to me when I was younger that didn't get to me because it was a closed adoption, so I got to read those, and she brought some pictures and I had the same ones."
Their conversations uncovered some incredible coincidences. Odds are, Oystrick thinks, their paths had crossed during his childhood without anyone knowing.
Kandace's family was in the hotel business, and she worked at the hotel where Oystrick's youth hockey team held their year-end banquets each season. Another of the family's hotels, where Kandace often helped out, was a building away from Oystrick's mother's office, and she and her co-workers would frequently go there for lunch.
"I might have seen her way back in the day but just never realized it," he reflected. "It was weird hearing all that stuff. But it was obviously very cool to finally meet the woman that gave birth to me. We still talk a couple times a month through text. We're planning on more trips and meetings."
Oystrick says that meeting his biological mother was important, but she will never replace the parents and family that raised him.
"Obviously she's my 'mom', but she's not my mom. My parents will still always be my parents. She's just kind of a really, really close friend that I'll always have in my life now that I finally got the chance to say hello and tell her thank you."
Immense gratitude was the main thing Oystrick wanted to express to the woman who gave her two-month-old son up for adoption when she was 16 years old.
"A lot of girls back then at 16 probably wouldn't have done the same thing she did," he said. "There was never any animosity on my part. I understood fully what she did and I was always thankful for it. I was put in a home where I had two loving parents and a loving sister; people who took care of me and treated me well and did everything under the sun that they could for me. So that's pretty much what I told her when we met and she was happy that I grew up to be who I was.
"I think in the back of her mind she'd always wondered, 'is this kid in jail or on drugs, or doing something silly - what happened with his life?' So to say that she gave birth to a professional hockey player I guess was pretty cool for her."

As the government's equal marriage consultation enters its last two weeks, Stonewall has called on everyone who supports equality to make their voices heard. The consultation closes on 14 June, and is being vigorously opposed by anti-gay groups.
The government has promised to introduce equal marriage by 2015. The proposal was not included in the recent Queen's Speech but Stonewall is lobbying the government to press ahead with implementing its promise in the next 12 months in any case.
Stonewall Chief Executive Ben Summerskill said: 'Opponents of this modest proposal have compared same-sex relationships to bestiality, child abuse and polygamy. That sort of vitriol means it's essential that every single person who supports equality makes his or her voice heard.
'Thousands of bigots are doing everything they can to wreck this final step towards full equality for 3.3 million gay people in England and Wales. If you support equal marriage, it's not enough to just talk or tweet about it. Responding to the consultation takes less than five minutes, but it could improve millions of people's lives forever.'
Stonewall has published a simple guide to completing the government's consultation at www.stonewall.org.uk/marriage, which includes a link to the consultation and details of Stonewall's response. The charity has also created Facebook banners and profile pictures people can use to encourage their friends and family to complete the consultation.

HAMBURG, NY – In a physical, back-and-forth game, the Hilbert College women's basketball team was beaten by Franciscan University, 57-53, February 4. With the Hawks up by as many as seven in the second half, Franciscan battled back to capture their second win of the season.
Down two with five minutes to play, Hilbert junior Amber Grosch took the ball to the hole, making a layup to tie up the game. A foul put the visitors up by two points again but freshman Sarah Lorusso {in photo to right} drained a three pointer to take the lead back. Franciscan made another quick basket, but Lorusso answered back with a layup, which would be the last Hilbert score in the game.
For the Hawks, Lorusso finished with 12 points, eight rebounds and five assists for the game. Senior Julie Bossard was just shy of a double-double, chipping in 13 points and nine rebounds while also contributing three blocks and two steals.
Franciscan's Amy O'Keefe led all scorers with 14 points and 11 rebounds. Teammates Lacey Huck and Christine Conrad finished with 12 points each for the night.
Hilbert will host D'Youville College on Wednesday, February 8 at 8pm.
