It was the day before Easter. My beloved was on one knee by her bed. His mother didn't seem to know he was there. The doctor said she was "actively dying". It was just a matter of time.
My mother-in-law had fallen a few weeks ago, suffered an open fracture and dislocated her ankle. A surgical team at UK put in a plate with pins. She was sedated for most of her time there, praise be to God. Since her return to the nursing home, there had been a marked difference. My husband was sure she had suffered a stroke within the first few days, and then one or two the week before Easter. As hard as it was to believe, his wonderful mother was nearing the end of her life.
As he knelt, he gently put his face in her soft hand and closed his eyes. "Oh, what that hand had done for him!" I thought. When he had been sick, she nursed him back to health. That hand had sewn on Boy Scout patches and hemmed his pants, driven him to ballgames, cooked magnificent meals, patted him when he cried, held him when he was hurt…Oh, that precious hand. (I held back a sob as I watched.)
Our prayer had been that she would not suffer, though she had suffered from a broken heart for just over five years. When her husband died in 2008, most of her died, too, that day. She never, ever got over his death, sinking into a deep depression almost immediately. She had met her Prince Charming, her other half, and he was gone. She just didn't want to go on, to tell you the truth. Though she was not coherent now, she still called out his name from time to time.
My beloved got up from the floor and smoothed her hair. "This is your baby!" he said in the voice that had always made her laugh. Nothing. He smoothed her hair and rubbed her cheek and told her he loved her. This had been the routine every day that week. After a bit on this day though, he said, "Momma…everything's gonna be alright. You go ahead and do whatever you need to do…It's gonna be alright." He kissed her face and smoothed her hair again. Big tears rolled from his eyes.
My daughter and son-in-law were in the room with us. We watched with big eyes not knowing exactly what to do. We took turns talking to "Mamaw", just like everything was fine and held her hand. She would pull her hand away and act like she was trying to get up. (Strangest thing.) Nurses came to check on her, and my beloved stepped out to speak with someone from church.
One of the nurses said my mother-in-law needed some oxygen. We could tell from the look on her face that she was concerned. Mamaw HATED oxygen, ripping the mask off every single time. This time she breathed it in. (They knew she was not doing well because she didn't pull it off as usual.) Suddenly she gasped two times. I thought it was because the air was rushing into her nose and mouth. We stared at her not knowing what was going on. I said, "She's not gasping anymore," thinking it was a good thing.
The nurses were checking her chest and began to whisper. My daughter and I looked at each other. It's never good when they whisper. One turned and asked where my husband was. She said I needed to get him…it would be any moment.
I called him straight away and stepped closer to hold my mother-in-law's hand. That's when I realized she was already gone. In the blink of an eye she literally slipped from one world to the next. We were stunned!
My beloved came rushing in seconds later. He burst into tears. "Oh, Momma," he cried. It was the most heart-wrenching scene. And it wasn't because we didn't know where she was. We knew confidently that she was in heaven. It was just personal loss. The mother who had been so very dear was no longer here. "Your struggle is finally over," he moaned as he held her face. He then immediately dropped to the floor, praying, thanking God for the gift of his mother. After he wiped away his tears, he smiled thinking that she was in heaven for Resurrection Day. We wondered aloud what they do in heaven on Easter.
Normally, my husband is the comfort giver when a death occurs. This time, he was on the other end. Friends and family offered so much love and kindness over the next few days-and continue to do so. A memorial service was held here in Prestonsburg two days later. Loved ones came from far and wide to share in the loss of this precious lady. (She was laid to rest in Alabama later in the week.) Our son-in-law, who is from Jamaica, was amazed at the out-pouring of prayers, encouragement, and food. I told him that "people in the mountains" were awesome like that.
We enjoyed looking at the pictures that were needed to make the collage for her memorial service. So many good memories! Later, in Alabama with her younger son, step-daughters and their families, we reminisced and laughed at all the good times we'd shared. Naturally, tears were mixed with the stories.
I have always heard that "life is a breath". It literally is. I had never been with someone when they died. I still think of it quite often. In one second, she passed from this life into the next. I kept thinking, "She's gone!" and was stunned at the finality of it. In a moment, her life was over!
It has compounded in my mind that we have to be ready to go at all times. After that last breath, it is done and you can't change a thing. We praise God that Mamaw had made peace with God, and we know beyond a doubt that we will see her again!

Leading Schools for Plumbing
Those curious about maintenance and repair could would like to think about the field of plumbing system. Specialists in this field perform a range of jobs associated with setting up and mending water pipes for water, gas and septic systems for both household and commercial structures. Plumbing institutions frequently consist of programs in pipeline fitting, welding, components and devices, water supply and state codes.
For example the required continuing education required for plumbers in Tampa will different that those of Mobile Alabama mostly due to the environmental and soil make up differences of the two locations
Leading Plumbing Schools

Five Workmen Probably Killed in an Accident in a Slate Quarry
Allentown, Pa., March 1 - While seven quarrymen were at work this morning in the slate quarry... the top caved in, burying Joseph Reamley, Samuel Kreitz, Griffith O. Pritchard, William R. Jones and three Hungarians....
(The Brooklyn [NY] Daily Eagle, 1 March 1894, p. 1, col. 4)
This next report adds the insult of scant vocabulary to fatal injury when compared to the adjective laden report of Mr. Williams' death.
Fatalities at Granville
Rowland Williams, a native of Wales, while at work in Norton Brothers' slate quarry at Granville on Wednesday afternoon, was instantly killed by a huge stone which fell from the ledge and crushed him. His body was terribly mangled. He leaves a wife and four children.
A Hungarian working in Hughes quarry at Granville was struck on the head by a falling stone and killed on Tuesday afternoon.
(Glen Falls [NY], The Morning Star, 30 July 1897, p. 8, col. 2)
There was a widely reported collapse in 1905 that killed several men - though reports of the numbers range from eight to 14. I read thirteen accounts of the accident. Most read like this one.
Cave-In Fatal to 14
Awful Accident in a Vermont Slate Quarry This Morning
Troy, N.Y., Oct. 6 - Sixteen men were buried this morning in a cave-in of the Vermont Slate company's quarry, about two and a half miles from Granville, N.Y.
David Cadwallader and Fraser Queen, foremen of the quarry, were rescued. The latter is expected to die. The 14 dead include J. B. Williams, president of the company, and Hungarian laborers.
Four bodies had been removed by 11 o'clock.
(The Auburn [NY] Citizen, 6 October 1905, p. 5, col. 8)Only two papers, The Syracuse Journal and The Binghamton Press, named the immigrant laborers, Stephen Banois, John Illnetakie, Joseph Illnetakie, Netro Demsic, John Toronco and Joseph Wasick. The next spring there was another accident nearby.
Two Men Killed in a Quarry
Troy, N.Y., June 22 - John Hasoyd Roberts of Warren's Switch, and an unknown Hungarian were killed by a cave-in in the slate quarry of Beecher & Company.... Robert Jones of Granville and two Hungarians were injured, the former probably fatally....
(New York, The Evening Post, 22 June 1906, p. 1, col. 2)I suspect this accident warranted a full paragraph because young Norton was injured.
Slate Quarry Accident
Hungarian Killed and Granville Resident Seriously Injured.
A falling rock in one of the Norton Brothers' slate quarries at Granville Tuesday afternoon killed a Hungarian and seriously injured Hiram Norton, son of James Norton, village president of Granville, and senior member of the firm of Norton Brothers. The block was being lifted when it slipped from the chain, and falling struck a rock in the side of the quarry, breaking into two parts. One struck the Hungarian on the top of the head, killing him instantly; the other struck Mr. Norton on the side of the head and shoulder, bruising the head and cutting open his shoulder badly. His injuries, while serious, are not thought to be dangerous.
(Glen Falls [NY], The Morning Star, 13 February 1908, p. 8, col. 5)
A Fatal Dive
A young Hungarian was drowned in the Mettowee river while swimming Friday near the Sheldon slate quarry in Granville.... [He] was accompanied by another Hungarian, who called for help. His cries were heard by Myrddin Jones, at work in a quarry. Jones dived in....
(Glen Falls [NY], The Morning Star, 4 August 1908, p. 8, col. 4)This article actually named two Hungarian men, though not the two or three others who were still missing.
Was Covered by Tons of Slate Rock and Earth
... A remarkable escape from death was that of Phabbeus Drewseitch, who, with four or five other Hungarians, was buried in a cave-in of rock and earth at Owen Brothers slate quarry near Granville on Tuesday morning....
The dead body of Steve Sautjes, another victim, was recovered....
(Glen Falls [NY], The Morning Star, 15 April 1909, p. 8, col. 6)There were more, but I'd seen enough. I'll have to find another avenue of investigation to see if I can locate documentation supporting or disproving the family story of a mystery cousin's death.

New York Times On Organic Farming ImpactsJanuary 2nd, 2012
It seems that the mythology of "Organic" farming somehow being wonderful for the environment, for everyone's health, for the farmers, the animals, the children and whatever other cliche you would like to insert is starting to come apart. The New York Times recently ran an article about the realities of "organic" farmed products and the environmental impact that comes with them.
I was disappointed by how apologetic the article was, but it still made an important point about where our food actually comes from. Indeed, the "ideals" that the Times refers to never really were embodied by the organic farming movement in any meaningful way. The entire idea really comes down to a philosophy that certain things are bad simply because they are man-made, while others are acceptable. There's no science to it at all and there never was.
Organic Agriculture May Be Outgrowing Its Ideals
TODOS SANTOS, Mexico — Clamshell containers on supermarket shelves in the United States may depict verdant fields, tangles of vines and ruby red tomatoes. But at this time of year, the tomatoes, peppers and basil certified as organic by the Agriculture Department often hail from the Mexican desert, and are nurtured with intensive irrigation.
Growers here on the Baja Peninsula, the epicenter of Mexico's thriving new organic export sector, describe their toil amid the cactuses as "planting the beach.
Del Cabo Cooperative, a supplier here for Trader Joe's and Fairway, is sending more than seven and a half tons of tomatoes and basil every day to the United States by truck and plane to sate the American demand for organic produce year-round.
But even as more Americans buy foods with the organic label, the products are increasingly removed from the traditional organic ideal: produce that is not only free of chemicals and pesticides but also grown locally on small farms in a way that protects the environment.
The explosive growth in the commercial cultivation of organic tomatoes here, for example, is putting stress on the water table. In some areas, wells have run dry this year, meaning that small subsistence farmers cannot grow crops. And the organic tomatoes end up in an energy-intensive global distribution chain that takes them as far as New York and Dubai, United Arab Emirates, producing significant emissions that contribute to global warming.
From now until spring, farms from Mexico to Chile to Argentina that grow organic food for the United States market are enjoying their busiest season.
"People are now buying from a global commodity market, and they have to be skeptical even when the label says 'organic' that doesn't tell people all they need to know," said Frederick L. Kirschenmann, a distinguished fellow at the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University. He said some large farms that have qualified as organic employed environmentally damaging practices, like planting only one crop, which is bad for soil health, or overtaxing local freshwater supplies.
Many growers and even environmental groups in Mexico defend the export-driven organic farming, even as they acknowledge that more than a third of the aquifers in southern Baja are categorized as overexploited by the Mexican water authority. With sophisticated irrigation systems and shade houses, they say, farmers are becoming more skilled at conserving water. They are focusing new farms in microclimates near underexploited aquifers, such as in the shadow of a mountain, said Fernando FrÃs, a water specialist with the environmental group Pronatura Noroeste.
They also point out that the organic business has transformed what was once a poor area of subsistence farms and where even the low-paying jobs in the tourist hotels and restaurants in nearby Cabo San Lucas have become scarcer during the recession.
To carry the Agriculture Department's organic label on their produce, farms in the United States and abroad must comply with a long list of standards that prohibit the use of synthetic fertilizers, hormones and pesticides, for example. But the checklist makes few specific demands for what would broadly be called environmental sustainability, even though the 1990 law that created the standards was intended to promote ecological balance and biodiversity as well as soil and water health.
Lets stop and consider the greater context here: there are eight billion people in the world. That's a lot of people to feed. Thankfully, we can feed them all. The fact that not everyone gets enough food is not due to a lack of capacity to produce it but more because of localized socioeconomic and political issues in getting it to those who need it. We grow enough food in the modern world to feed everyone. Not only that, we do it at a very reasonable cost, which results in people generally not having to spend the majority of their income just to get their daily nutritional needs filled.
For example, if you're in the United States, the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. If you work one hour a day at the minimum, you can make enough money to keep yourself reasonably well fed. And not only that, but in first world countries, the average citizen can afford to buy things that are imported out of season. Better yet, our food rarely carries serious pathogens and when it does, it gets recalled rapidly. We don't suffer from periodic famines. The worst thing most of us will ever suffer through is a regional drought or frost driving the cost of a particular type of produce up for a few weeks.
Sure, we take all this for granted, but considering what it has been like for most of human history, the fact that you can reliably go buy a meal for a few dollars, that it will be free of pathogens and that it's always available and not subject to periodic shortages is pretty damn impressive.
We did not get to this point by forcing all foods to be grown in small mom and pop farms. Such local food is great when you want something that's as fresh as you can get and happens to be in season, but make no mistake, it's a luxury. We could never feed all of society by such small operations and doing so would not have any real ecological advantages. All human activity will have some impact on the local ecology, and agriculture is no different. That does not mean the impact has to be unacceptably large. However, the best way to keep that impact to a minimum is by efficiently farming the land, using the most modern practices and technology available.
"Organic food" is not about small, local mom and pop farms. Most people seem to think that if food is "organic" it means that a friendly old man in overalls grew it while chewing on a blade of grass and whistling a tune about how he loves the land. It's not. Farming is a business like any other business and farmers will use the tools they have at their disposal to produce as much as they can with as few resources as possible. The farms are located in the most favorable areas. That means that fruit and vegetable farms are often located in tropical areas where they can provide fresh product to market all year long.
On large farms, efficiency is very important and great efforts are taken to get as much product from the given area as possible. They're run and managed like the industrial-scale operations they are. Many, but not all, of these large farms are owned by families. Thanks to modern management and farming methods, these farms are productive enough to make their owners very comfortable financially.
It is much harder for anyone to support themselves on a small farm. Many of the smallest local farms are not full time operations. The owners may have other jobs and keep the farm as a "hobby farm." Those which do work small farms full time may have to concentrate on a specialized sector in order to remain commercially viable. Some manage to make small farms economically viable by operating them as a specialty product provider, such as a winery a nursery for ornamental plants. Others make money by having a store that provides other products. A few may capitalize on Halloween hayrides or pick-your-own events.
There's nothing wrong with these small farms that cater directly to consumers looking for the novelty or nostalgia of such products, and many do provide excellent fresh products and make great pies. Yet they may give some the wrong impression of what farming really is. They are not the food producers that provide the staples which keep the world fed.
Those who do work small, low-production, low-income farms as their primary means of getting by are subsistence farmers. Thankfully this practice has largely vanished from industrialized nations, yet it remains common in many parts of the world.
When a farm decides to go "organic," they are simply giving up some of the tools at their disposal to grow foods. Many types of fertilizer suddenly become forbidden. Tractors, tilling and irrigation are generally not affected, but the types of crops, fertilizer and insect control uses are. In some cases, the organic farmer will be required to buy materials that are chemically identical to forbidden compounds simply because they come from a certified source that is regarded as "natural."
Since some of the tools are now taken away it becomes harder to grow food reliably and at high capacities. Some other commodities become more important. If fertilizer is less concentrated, more water may be needed to get the nutrients to the roots. If more of a crop is lost to pests, larger areas must be planted for the same yield. If crops yield fewer fruit per plant, more plants are needed. Not using one tool means all the others will tend to be more taxed. It may require more labor, more energy, more land and more water. It costs more too. Farmers don't do this because they're stupid, of course. They do it because they know that consumers are stupid and will pay a premium for this stuff.
Before buying some of that overpriced organic food, stop and think about the bigger picture. Do you really think Old McDonald is the one who feeds the world? Farming is an industry and if you want everyone to be fed, you wouldn't want it any other way. Modern society requires that most people work in fields other than agriculture. We need farmers, but we also need doctors and dentists and mechanics and engineers. Trying to force society back to the days when a farm fed only a few local families is not going to help the environment or our food supply.

4% Ave. Alpha. Fuggles have long been used in the finest English style ales for aroma and flavor, and will infuse a mild hoppy flavor and pleasant aroma in the best pale ales, bitters, and browns. The light bitterness and clean hop flavor and aroma make a good combination with high alpha hops such as Target or Pacific Gem. Fuggles is a great choice for hoppy American microbrew style ales, and works surprisingly well in Lambic. U.K. rootstock grown in Belgium. A good substitute for Willamette or Styrian Golding. Sorry, due to limited supply, orders are limited to 6 oz. of this hop.

Two new studies came out which have found mercury in processed food. One scientific study Not So Sweet Missing Mercury and High Fructose Corn Syrup published in Environmental Health found mercury, a known dangerous neurotoxin, in nine of 20 samples of high fructose corn syrup. The second study Mercury from Chlor-alkali plants: measured concentrations in food product sugar looked at foods which had high fructose corn syrup as the first or second ingredient. It discovered the presence of mercury in one-third of 55 products tested. Here is the list of the foods in which mercury was found:
Product Name • Total mercury detected (ppt) • Laboratory detection limit (ppt)
Quaker Oatmeal to Go • 350 • 80
Jack Daniel's Barbecue Sauce (Heinz) • 300 • 100
Hershey's Chocolate Syrup • 257 • 50
Kraft Original Barbecue Sauce • 200 • 100
Nutri‐Grain Strawberry Cereal Bars • 180 • 80
Manwich Bold Sloppy Joe • 150 • 80
Market Pantry Grape Jelly • 130 • 80
Smucker's Strawberry Jelly • 100 • 80
Pop‐Tarts Frosted Blueberry • 100 • 80

Minute Maid Berry Punch • 40 • 30
Yoo‐hoo Chocolate Drink • 30 • 20
Nesquik Chocolate Milk • 30 • 20

"Really at the core of it is that there are large chemical plants, chlorine alkali plants worldwide, that make a variety of chemicals, and many of them are used commonly in food production, including in the production of high-fructose corn syrup and some other things."
"The caustic soda, for example, is integral to the production of high-fructose corn syrup. You can make caustic soda using mercury, or you can make it without using mercury. Unfortunately, we still have plants in the US, and even more abroad, that continue to use this outdated mercury technology that can contaminate the caustic soda with mercury. And that's what, in turn, we think, may be contaminating the high-fructose corn syrup. So, then-Senator Obama actually was a co-sponsor of Senate legislation in 2007 that would have phased out the use of mercury in making caustic soda in these plants, but the legislation never passed."

Things I liked:Very nicely made. Accuracy: shooting 3/8" groups of JSB Exact at 25 yds. Power adjuster. Adjustable butt.
Things I would have changed:Some of the specs on PA website. My copy weighed 7lbs, not the advertised 5.5lbs. It'll shoot the advertised 920 fps with super light pellets. My 10 for 10 test was done with 11gr pellets. However JSB exact were shooting about 810-830fps. My s410 RIFLE would shoot these heavier pellets at the advertised speeds. I wish the cheek rest were a bit higher.
What others should know:Great handling carbine!
Fred--You are correct. Our weight was wrong. I've changed the weight to 7 lbs.
Things I liked:Extremely well made
Things I would have changed:Filling connector options
What others should know:Make sure you have the proper filling equipment. My Benjamin connector would not work with this amazing air rifle.
Things I liked:Excellent walnut stock. As nice as the Minelli on my Daystate Air Ranger ($2k gun). High quality barrel bluing. The carbine is very light weight. Very crisp clean trigger. Initial shots very accurate. Adjustable power.
Things I would have changed:Nothing is necessary. Make it easier for single shot conversion if one wants that.
What others should know:Louder than a Marauder. The gun rivals my Daystate Air Ranger in quality in every regard but better for carrying in the field because of lower size and weight and more features. I had Pyramyd do the $10 test on this level gun.
Update: I found out the stock on my rifle in made by Minelli which explains the high quality. I am contemplating a second Air Arms but will stick with the walnut stocks on PCPs.

I didn't really measure it, but my guess is that 15-20 hours will get you close to 30 depending on activity maybe, from what I read of others and the dev statements, leveling up to level cap will be like 80-90 hrs played.
Of course, power levelers will probably do it in 50-60 hours or less just like in other MMO's via specific paths and routines, I already read some insane numbers, but I'm talking about averages here, by doing the regular activities.
With the automatic level scaling, I don't see a real issue with it, there's still a lot to do at level cap.

Maybe, maybe not. Who are you to judge what others want or like?
It amuses me when you say "The whole point is NOT to play the game for leveling" just because you play casually and enjoy a slow pace doesn't mean everyone in the world should do the same, the world doesn't revolve around you. People can play and enjoy the game for whatever reasons they want, its their life. Those who go around judging others are mostly hypocrits and ignorant.
Leveling in any MMO is about how many hours you invest not days. If you play 3 hours a day then obviously you won't be hitting level 80 anytime soon. When I mentioned 3 days I was referring to the people who will play 20 hours daily with a good clan in WvW or 2man+ PvE group.

I thought most people here agreed with me that leveling in modern MMOs is too fast nowadays... I guess I was wrong.
But seeing how fast some people levels just during 2 weekends tells me that if the leveling speed should be changed it should be slowed down, not be increased.

It's the result of a few things.
First, players who don't know the game and haven't read starting tips online have no idea how easy it is to get to the other race's areas, or even if they do know, they don't know exactly how.
Second, many players don't understand that you can level very efficiently off of lower level content, so they don't understand the point of going to another racial starting zone to do the level 2-6 content there, or even repeating lower level DEs in your own zone.
Third, a big one that made everything worse, Arenanet greatly reduced the broadcast range for Dynamic Events in BWE2, so even people that knew about DEs and understood that exploration was a good idea, still suffered a serious lack of DEs if they happened to not be in the right place at the right time. Arenanet said they did this to cut down on zergs, but that wasn't a very good reason, considering that even with the old broadcast ranges, many people complained about the difficulty of finding DEs in the level 2-6 areas during BWE1. Also, zergs in BWE1 met with properly scaling DEs and were only going to be seen at all during the early days of the game when the populations are more concentrated in one narrow level range.
I think the anti zerg thing was spurred by some complaints from a vocal minority after BWE1 that branded the game as a "zerg fest". It really wasn't, but someone at Arenanet was way too sensative to the accusation and made a bad adjustment based on that reaction.
If they restore the old broadcast range for Dynamic Events, provide some sort of tutorial guidance on how to easily travel to the other racial cities and also provide some tutorial advice about level scaling, then most of these complaints will go away.
Oh, yeah, almost forgot, if people do at least a couple stages of their Personal Story, they probably will have no issues at all getting out of the 2-6 area of the starting zone. The further beyond level 6 you get, the less a problem this becomes.

The design of the whole WvWvW PVP thing is so dumb and hidden that I bet most of these people don't even know it exists. I constantly see people asking how they get into the PVP because the UI is bad and doesn't give any clear indication.

The whole topic was about those who complain about PVE leveling being slow and answered exactly to that, they are doing it wrong if they play just for the leveling, and no that's not an opinion I'll change ever. Now WvWvW is completely different

I posted on their Official Forums in their Impromptu poll:
"#1: MMORPG.com forums have a real Poll function built in, why don't YOU Anet??
#2: I think we actually level TOO FAST."
And I mean it... we're currently at the same leveling pace of 1-10 Factions, followed by 10-20 in Eye of the North. ...while that might be fun on your 4th or 5th Alt.... it's way too fast for our first characters that we're just trying to explore everything on b/c we totally outlevel everything 2x over just by trying to fully explore everything in 2 Racial zones while Crafting. ...Most people don't even seem to understand that a single crafting disciplines gives you 10 extra levels...

Originally posted by dlld
Sorry mate, it was you. I know you don't want to to hear it, but it is. You simply moved too fast and missed too many DEs, missed too much exploration, too many unique monster kills and obviously didn't avail yourself to crafting.
I did that with my first character in BWE1. Now I've run up five more and I can see how and why it happens. I also see that there is more than enough XP in every area if you don't rush through it.

Though, I think the cost to teleport should be lowered, it gets really expensive teleporting to and out of +15 lvl zones.

Sorry, but GW2's design is supposed to increase my sense of immersion, not kick it in the nuts and laugh at it.

The issue is not that we are not lead by our noses. The issue is that we have no in character reason to go anywhere but the next zone. Nor is there any reason to think that taking a random portal tucked away somewhere in your city is the only way to advance without grinding content.
Originally posted by Creslin321
I'm absolutely fine with the currently leveling speed. I'm also fine with giving choices about where to adventure (which GW2 hasn't done for me, yet).
I'm NOT fine with the disparity between level progression and zone progression, and none of you should be either. This does not have to be solved with increased leveling speed, it could also be increased with more content in any form, or through some story crumbs giving you a reason to think going somewhere else might benefit the world.
Age of Conan had this issue too, and the same solution (just go to someone else's zone, then you'll be fine!) It was the one single reason that I stopped playing the game (I refuse to grind).
GW2 is a great game, and I've been a huge fan boy of it for a long time. However, when I take my fanboy glasses off and look at this, I see a very real, very serious situation that ArenaNet should not ignore.

You're not forced. You can, if you slow down and learn to play the game, be over-leveled for every area without repeating material. I was certainly able to do that in the Norn area. I was able to do that (twice) in the Charr area. I was able to do that (twice) in the human area. And the only time I was underleveled was with my first character because I got in such a rush I skipped half the stuff that was going on in the starter area and got a bit behind.
It really is a playstyle issue.
So, yes, if you're going to RUSH, then you're going to have to rush other racial areas. But if you're just going to play the game to the fullest extent possible, then you're going to be fine.

I'm not saying that Anet needs to change the level curve or not but we certainly shouldn't assume that kf a part of the population has a problem that our playstyles can simply fix it for them.

am now level 20 in level 25 content as a human and level 16 in level 19 content as a Charr.
The only way to be of equal level is to go to another area that you have no in character reason to go to, or to grind DEs.

BWE2 -- One Norn, Two Charr... Some human (from BWE1) in a new area. An amazing lack of repetition. Even within the Charr. There were a few things I doubled-down on. Mostly the heart quests. But not the DEs. I did not repeat a single DE in the Charr zone despite playing two Charr from 1-to-8.
And I really hope to God they don't capitulate to you and others like you. Every time a developer caves to the 'make it easy for me' crowd, the game gets churned and dumped in months. SWTOR being the perfect example. Multiple end-game characters in the month I played because they gave TOO MUCH XP at the request of the MAKE IT EASY crowd. Now the game is consolidating over 200+ servers into somewhere around 20-to-30 for various reasons, including the fact people have consumed 80% of the PvE content in two play-throughs (1 imperial, 1 republic).

Put on proof. I, along with mutiple others, have done just that and not had any issue. My guild master. People on this board. People on other boards.
Yet you're calling me a liar.
Characters advance throughout the game by gaining experience until they reach the maximum level cap of 80. Experience is gained by:
After the first few levels, the time or effort required to attain a new level remains constant.
Seems you missed a lot of the game when I read your description of what you did. Whereas I didn't.

It seems that people prefer to play GW2 just for fun content and don't care about coherence or consistancy. People really went full tunnel vision when it comes to the ideas behind GW2's design. I already made a thread about certain aspects in GW2 that are immersion breaking, but most people did not really seem to care for the things I listed. This was one of them.

"The Wolves are once again proud to be affiliated with a first-class organization in the Missouri Mavericks," said Wolves General Manager Wendell Young. "President and General Manager Brent Thiessen and Head Coach Scott Hillman run an extraordinary organization and we couldn't have asked for a more solid partnership last year. We are looking forward to another successful season as affiliates in 2012-13."
The Missouri Mavericks play at the 5,800-seat Independence Events Center in Independence, Mo., and averaged 5,531 fans per game during the 2011-12 season. The three-year-old Mavericks were honored as the CHL's Franchise of the Year for the second straight season in 2012. On the ice, Missouri registered a 39-21-6 record last year and reached the Conference Finals in the 2012 CHL playoffs.
The Wolves open their 19th season on home ice when they battle the Rockford IceHogs at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 13, at the Allstate Arena. For more information on ticket packages, visit chicagowolves.com or call 1-800-THE-WOLVES.

*I'm not even gonna say anything.IO DE JANEIRO -- Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman landed in Brazil on Saturday night to continue the "world tour" to promote UFC 168, and the former middleweight champion had a revelation to make during a media scrum on Sunday.
Prior to their first bout at UFC 162, the Brazilian website Esporte Interativo reported that Silva had injured his ribs during his training camp.
Silva and his team denied the reports at the time. But Sunday, Silva told the media he was actually hurt.
Silva declined to explain how he injured his ribs, but guaranteed it wont be a problem for his next fight against Weidman on Dec. 28."It was good that you mentioned this because I was really hurt," Silva told the media. "Nobody mentioned this yet, but thats not an excuse for my performance. It was a below where I was injured for my first fight with Chael Sonnen. Thats it. I was at 85 percent of my physical condition."
After a busy week with interviews and travel, Silva plans to start his training camp Wednesday."I cant talk about this because anything I say can be used against me," he said. "Its in the past. Im okay now."
Silva said he will be aggressive in the rematch, but that doesnt mean Weidman will have lots of openings for takedowns."Ill start my camp for this fight on Wednesday then Ill go to the United States to meet the rest of the team," he said. "Some friends are coming from Cuba to help me in the wrestling part and Ill finish the preparation in Los Angeles."
"Of course he wants me to go straight forward so he would take me down," Silva said. "But a different Anderson is coming. He will have to train well for this fight."

Jacks in the ProsThe Jackrabbits have had 11 players drafted by Major League Baseball teams since 1966. Most recently, pitcher Layne Somsen was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds. Two former Jackrabbit pitchers are currently on Major League rosters as Caleb Thielbar has pitched for the Minnesota Twins during the 2013 and 2014 seasons and Blake Treinen made his MLB in 2014 with the Washington Nationals.
Summt League ChampionsThe Jackrabbits won their first Summit League conference title in 2013 and went to NCAA Tournament for the first time at the Division I level. SDSU was the top seed in the Summit League Baseball Championship in both 2013 and 2014.
Veteran SquadThe South Dakota State baseball team will be led during the 2015 season by a senior class consisting of 12 players. All-Summit League pitchers Adam Bray, Chad Hodges and J.D. Moore all return.
Coaching StaffVeteran coach Dave Schrage enters his fourth season as head coach at SDSU and 26th as a collegiate head coach. Schrage, who stands 23 wins away from 700 for his career, is assisted by Brian Grunzke, Ben Norton and Matt Bowman.
Facility EnhancementsWith the completion of the Sanford-Jackrabbit Athletic Complex, the SDSU baseball team will benefit from expanded indoor training facilities. Improvements also have been made to Erv Huether Field, with the completion of the Abdnor Archway, as well as the installation of a new batter's eye and fencing around the home field of the Jackrabbits..

I have listened over the past six and a half months as many individuals whom I deeply respect have expressed, often strongly and sometimes persuasively, their views and preferences regarding the future ownership, structure and operation of the Charleston School of Law. As is my custom, I have taken the time to conduct my own due diligence and to study the issue in depth. And, as I told our community earlier this week, I have concluded that the acquisition by InfiLaw is by far the best option to secure the future of the school that many of us have come to love.
Legal education is at a crossroads today. Law firms and other employers are demanding that new graduates be able to hit the ground running when they begin work. It is not like the old days where new graduates learned practical skills on the job. And graduates who are "practice-ready" will be attractive to employers in a highly competitive market.
InfiLaw has a strong track record of providing practice ready education, as each of its schools offers multiple clinics and a wide variety of externships. Legal clinics give students real-world experience, but also provide a benefit to the community as they represent clients who might otherwise be unrepresented. Clinics are expensive to operate, which is one reason we have not offered any at Charleston School of Law.
As the owner of three ABA-accredited laws schools, InfiLaw has the resources to enable us to offer a more practice ready curriculum, enhance our technology and improve our facilities. I met with InfiLaw's CEO to have a candid conversation about our future. And I came away firmly convinced of his passion and commitment to do all within his power to ensure a bright future for our law school.
But as important as financial support might be, I also wanted to ensure that we would have a good cultural fit. Having been a part of the law school since its founding, and having spent nearly three decades as a professor and senior administrator in higher education here in Charleston, I love Charleston and the Charleston School of Law - its people, its values, and its mission to have a positive impact on the lives of individuals and communities. As members of my team and I met with our counterparts at InfiLaw, we were struck by how similar our schools actually are and by InfiLaw's consistent, strong and compelling commitment to employ their resources and collective energies to make a difference in the lives of students and communities that they serve.
My visits to two InfiLaw schools confirmed that, above all else, they are student-centric and have a passionate commitment to students, which has always been the hallmark of the Charleston School of Law. Like us, they regard the success of their students as their highest priority. The positive, open relationship between their students and the faculty and staff is readily apparent in the classroom and out and is immediately identified by everyone as the best part of their respective institutions.
As importantly for our law school, InfiLaw schools are not cookie-cutter replicas of one another. Each has its own distinctive feel, and the curriculum and programs have been developed by the schools themselves, playing to their own particular strengths, opportunities, and interests, rather than being imposed from on high. The schools regularly discuss their common issues and challenges and share their best practices and ideas, but ultimately the running of the school is the responsibility of each individual institution. InfilLaw recognizes that the personal-touch, student-centered, collegial culture that has been the centerpiece of the Charleston School of Law must remain at the core of our institution, because it is in many ways both our most important as well as our most distinctive asset.
It has been a challenging and emotional time for all of us who care deeply about the Charleston School of Law, but now it is time to move forward. I have asked members of the law school community and will soon also be reaching out to the local and state legal communities to work with me to help shape our future under new ownership. We continue to control our destiny and now have a partner who can help our vision become a reality.
Andrew L. Abrams is president and dean of the Charleston School of Law (www.CharlestonLaw.edu).

As humourous as I find this, I'm not seeing any outrageous claims. They make no mention of lineage. They don't even mention their "Grandmaster's" name.
If their claim is that they've pulled all this out of their ass, there really is nothing to investigate.
I have, however, found this strange review on a site:
Yuan Yen do is a very reputable karate studio..The teaching and technique are top notch. The instructors always have gone above and beyond.. Most studios don't have actual Masters,this place does all of my relatives are very happy.

These schools popped up a few years ago.
The 12th Degree Grandmaster is one Micheal Brown. He seems to not want his name listed on any of the sites dedicated to teaching this "incredible" combination of Karate and Kung Fu.
It seems he gives out high rank with very little training.
Sad to see these people pander their seriously lacking MA as something that is up and beyond anything other than extremely fundamental.
They have 7th Degree masters that were born in 1988. Holy crap!
I find it extemley questionable that the head "grandmaster" is not listed on any of the site for the style.
He must feel serious shame for all the crap he is peddling.
And for anyone who trains in this style. Please come visit me at 33 Harrison Ave 7th Floor when I am teaching and I will show you how this material will get you killed.
This man is not only ripping you off from your hard earned money, he is brainwashing you to think that crap will really work in a fight.

Tuscarawas News Detail
Honors Student Brie Constantino Volunteers in HaitiPosted Nov. 17, 2011
Honors student Brie Constantino spent a week in Haiti this past June volunteering at the EBAC Christian Academy and Orphanage in Cap-Haitien. Brie travelled with a group of fourteen young adults from the United State to assist the orphanage with the nearly two hundred children there.
The orphanage the group visited was home to local homeless children and orphans. Brie observed as the orphans went about their daily lives and they tried to incorporate life outside the gates by taking them to a nearby grassy field and having games, crafts and singing for them. The orphanage was home to twelve young kids in early 2010, all of whom miraculously survived the earthquake. EBAC consequently grew in size by approximately one hundred as a result of the ruin and family displacements.
Each one of the volunteers soon had a group of children that gravitated to them and what Brie found was that after so much loss and destruction, the children were still enthusiastic and eager to love despite what had happened to them. The language barrier was not a problem either, with one child she shared a drawing journal and they would pass it between them, him filling it with artistic sketches. He spoke English well and she learned that his mother had died in childbirth and his father from Cholera, a common story to be found amongst these children.
What Brie took away from this experience was a new appreciation for everything that she has and is working for—a college education and her family. The hardworking spirit of an 18-year-old boy who wants to come to the United States and become a dentist so he can return to Haiti and share his skills showed her that. It also showed her the tragedy of the government being unorganized and in some cases corrupt, so he has yet to obtain a passport to come to the United States to go to school.
Despite the earthquake or having lost parents, the children are motivated and happy and it was an unforgettable experience for Brie to have volunteered and made new friends in Haiti.
The EBAC Christian Academy and Orphanage in Cap-Haitien has been run by two American women for over thirty years. For more information, please visit http://www.heartsforthehungry.org/.

The inspiration for Mia Bossi's diaper bags stemmed from the designers becoming sick and tired of seeing the same ancient diaper bags that screamed mommy every time they stepped out of the house. The three creators were determined to manufacture a diaper bag that made it possible for mommies to feel as fashionable as possible and that would also seamlessly blend function and fashion. This unique line not only allows mommy to transport her baby's needs in style, but the Mia Bossi diaper bag can be used long after baby's first steps. Each Italian inspired creation is made with a one-of-a-kind design that reflects not only high-end Italian fashion, but your own personal sense of style. This distinction makes Mia Bossi handcrafted diaper bags the ultimate mommy must have.

Managed in cooperation withSuwannee River Water Management District
Santa Fe Swamp WEA is a floodplain swamp that feeds the upper eight miles of the Santa Fe River. Its critical importance in protecting and maintaining both the quantity and quality of water in the Santa Fe Lake and Santa Fe River led to the acquisition of this area. Most of the 7,272 acres in the Wildlife and Environmental Area are dense swamps. Only primitive weapons (bow and arrow and muzzleloader) hunting of white-tailed deer, feral hog, turkey, gray squirrel, and eastern cottontail rabbit is allowed on this area during specified seasons. Fishing, wildlife viewing, horseback riding, hiking, and bicycling are permitted throughout the year. Children under the age of 16 are required to wear a helmet when horseback riding on public lands. For more detailed information go to Nicole's Law . All horseback riders must have proof of current negative Coggins Test results for their horses when on state lands. Camping is prohibited on the area.

Casual and cozy, a throw is happy by nature—so it stands to reason that the happiest throws are good to nature. Running with the concept, Happy Habitat designed this planet-savvy Triangles Eco Throw using 80% recycled cotton. This mid-weight weave wears a dynamic triangle print and is ideal for snuggling on the couch, picnicking in the park, or adding some fresh flair to boring bed linens. Quite frankly, we're happy just thinking about it.
One-sided design. Made from 80% recycled pre-consumer cotton and 20% acrylic. Use of recycled cotton saves water, helps reduce pollutants, and encourages low-energy manufacturing. Each throw is made to order and washed for extra softness.
Karrie Kaneda fell in love with design at eight-years-old when she learned about the color wheel. After dabbling in fine art in college and 10 years in "creative corporate" jobs, she founded Kansas-based Happy Habitat in 2011. The company's eco-conscious textiles—in patterns inspired by Indian, Japanese and Moroccan motifs—have appeared in Real Living and Adore Home.
