The Lyons Economic Development Commission endorses Ballot Issue 3-A, the Mill Override measure for the St. Vrain Valley School District.
EDC Commissioners don't stand alone on this issue. We have joined a large group. Mayors of every town in the school district support this measure. So do a substantial number of business organizations, economic stakeholders, and community leaders throughout the school district.

Hi All,
The good news is that we have received word that a grant from the State Historical Preservation Fund, to finish work on the museum, has been awarded to the Lyons Redstone Museum. The money from the grant will cover: pointing the sandstone with the rounded antique tool, painting the exterior panels on the upper story, and painting and renovating the fire escape. The total cost of the project is $71,197 (grant of $54,248, plus a cash match of $18,049).

To the Editor,
I have just returned from a trip to the recycling bins with my recyclables and what I saw prompted me to write this letter. There was trash piled up on the fence side next to the skateboard park and mystery trash (in large black trash bags) piled next to the cardboard bin along with other NON-RECYCLABLES.

"Checking For Charity" is a non-profit organization of adult hockey players dedicated to helping raise money for other charities through competitive hockey events.
On August 20-22nd, the group will hold it's Second Annual Tournament at the Flyers Skate Zone in Vorhees, NJ.
Every team plays for a charity of their choice. Like last year, Ed Gorleski's team, the Hawks, will be playing to raise money for the Preeclampsia Foundation - in memory of the daughter he and wife, Kelly, lost in relation to HELLP Syndrome. The percentage of the money teams earn is based upon their final ranking in the tournament.
A Beef and Beer will also be held at PJ Whelihan's in Cherry Hill, NJ, on August 19. The local public is invited to attend, with funds raised from that evening going toward the charity giving.

The world of karting continues to evolve, and in more ways than one.
An area that has seen dramatic growth over the last decade has been driver, team and business public relations. Many racers and teams are now distributing press releases to keep their fans, followers and competitors current on recent and upcoming events, as well as interacting in a host of other PR methods to promote their brand.
While creating the new WorldKarting.com, we realized the need for a Driver / Team News section. This section is devoted to the people who support WKA and will be updated on a daily basis with news releases provided to us.
Our only stipulation is the release must feature or be affiliated with a current WKA racer, team, sponsor, advertiser or supporter.
Note: Driver / Team news releases will not be included in WKA's Pit Board. WKA reserves the right to edit news releases and share releases on social networking platforms.
Road Race Karting - Over 100mph... one inch off the ground
The generous length of the tracks, most of which include long straightaways and fast corners, allow karts to reach speeds well over 100 mph. Some of the fastest road racing karts top speeds in excess of 120 mph.
While sprint and oval-track karting's minimum age is as young as 5 for kid karts, drivers must be at least 12 years old to compete in WKA's Road Racing Series.
The starter puts the green flag up 60 seconds before it's waved. A team member usually starts the kart's engine around 20 to 30 seconds before the flag is waved, when a swarm of go-karts takes off from the grid and onto the racing surface.
There are usually two to three separate (staggered) starts per race group for the different classes in each group.
The northern Virginia-based Woodbridge Kart Club, which has promoted road racing events for over 40 years, has numerous teams located throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. The WKC hosts two WKA national events – VIR and Summit Point – in 2012.
In Georgia, the Southern Kart Club has been a mainstay at Roebling Road Raceway, located near Savannah. The SKC promotes three to four events per year at Roebling, including a WKA national, which has teams from all over the South traveling to the historic track.
A "check your problems at the gate" attitude is sported by many, and when the hard-working practice and race days are over, cookouts, good conversation and fun times are found throughout the pit area as people unwind and reminisce about the previous days', months' and years' events.

15 Tips For an Urban Wedding
Maybe I'm slightly biased because I'm having my wedding at a renovated smog check center, but I was so happy to read on Style Me Pretty that "brick is the new backyard." Glitz and glam ballrooms and rustic, country fields can be beautiful wedding settings, but I'm all about the less-obvious, rough-around-the-edges venues. If you're with me, I've rounded up my favorite chic industrial weddings to illustrate some tips on going a little bit gritty with your big day locale.

Hello Ladies,
I'm considered high risk, today my doctor recommend I start taking the FFN (Fetal Fibronectin) test, it detects if you are going to deliver in two week or not. I have a short cervix. Have any one had this test or have heard of it?
My last two pregnancy I delivered @ 27 weeks and again @ 26, due to preeclampsia. This time around looks like my cervix going to let me down. My girl are healthy today @ 10 and 7. This one is a boy so I'm praying that he doesn't follow in his sister's foot step. I just want to make it to 32 weeks or even 40.

return of the biggest and bad...
The Creech: Out for Blood Hits Stores this Summer
March 23, 2001
The Creech: Out for Blood
heralds Greg Capullo's return to his popular creator-owned character. The Creech will be a three-issue, bi-monthly mini-series of interlinked stories each with 40 pages of story and art. The book will be written, pencilled and inked by Capullo; this will be the first time he has inked his own pencils.
The Creech: Out for Blood
will be published by Todd McFarlane Productions.
Capullo enjoyed his new role as inker. "It's really cool to challenge myself; this time I tried inking. Although I've never inked my own pencils before, I think fans will like it. The stuff looks bombastic."
The Creech
is about a scientific project gone wrong;
very wrong
. Dr.Battu is a gentle pacifist whose goal is to help the world better itself through genetic research. The pinnacle of his scientific experimentation yields the Creech. Engineered in the idyllic isolation of Battu's laboratory, the creature is born an innocent being with no conception of good or evil. Later, against Battu's will, the creature is genetically enhanced into a technological fighting machine by a nefarious government bureau simply known as The Agency. In a last-ditch attempt to save the innocent creature from the government's plans to exploit it for military purposes, Battu infuses the creature with his own pacifistic mind patterns just as he is murdered by rogue officers of The Agency. The genetically engineered fighting machine is an innocent no more -- he is now the Creech. The newly self-aware creature is a muddle of internal contradictions as the consciousness of the peaceful Dr. Battu struggles with its genetically engineered instincts for killing and destruction. Before the Creech has much of an opportunity to resolve these problems and discover his nearly limitless potential, he seemingly sacrifices his life to save Earth from alien invaders bent on the destruction of the human race.
The new series picks up right where the original left off when reporter Chris Rafferty sees Agency Director Dross on TV. Rafferty is certain he saw Dross fatally impaled during the heated battle with the aliens where the Creech sacrificed himself. Now, if Dross is alive, Rafferty questions if anything he remembers actually happened at all.
Dross, who has mysteriously returned from the dead, finds himself in deep trouble for having allowed his genetic engineering program to spin so far out of control. The disappearance of the Creech seems be the triggering event leading to an intergalactic war between two alien races.
Capullo promises that fans who enjoyed the first
mini-series will also like
Out for Blood
"Rest assured, the new
will contain all the elements people enjoyed - action, aliens and annihilation o'plenty - as well as thought-provoking subject matter as we delve deeper into the mind of the Creech," Capullo said.
The long-awaited
The Creech: Out for Blood
mini-series will be released this summer in three double-sized issues of 48 pages each, at a retail of $4.95.
Keep checking back in this section as we'll periodically add new Capullo artwork and other tidbits as they become available.

|R.J. Harris
|Seamus O'Neill
PHILADELPHIA – R.J. Harris (Odenton, Md.) and Seamus O'Neill (Manchester, N.H.) of the University of New Hampshire football team have been named to The Sports Network FCS Preseason All-America Third Team, which was announced Monday.
Harris, a junior wide receiver, was previously named to the Beyond Sports Network (BSN) Preseason All-America Second Team and to the College Football Performance Awards (CFPA) FCS Wide Receiver Award Watch List. Last season, Harris claimed a spot on the All-CAA First Team, the All-New England Team, the College Sports Madness All-CAA First Team and the ECAC D-I FCS All-Star Team after notching 84 receptions for 1,059 yards; those single-season totals ranked fourth (catches) and sixth (yards) in UNH history. The 6-foot, 192-pound WR ranked second in the CAA in receptions/game (7.0) and receiving yards/game (88.2), and his nine TD catches ranked third in the league. With 134 catches and 1,773 receiving yards, Harris is 16 receptions and 140 yards shy of reaching the University's career Top 10 in those categories.
O'Neill, a senior co-captain, was previously feted as a BSN Preseason All-America Second Team offensive lineman after starting all 12 games at left tackle last season. In 2012, O'Neill anchored the line for an offense that ranked second in the CAA in scoring (34.1 points/game), total offense (451.5 yards/game) and first downs (22.1/game) while placing third in rushing (220.8 yards/game) and passing (230.8 yards/game). He was subsequently named an ECAC All-Star and earned a place on both the All-CAA First Team and the College Sports Madness All-CAA First Team to go along with BSN All-America Honorable Mention.
UNH, the 2012 co-CAA champions, opens the 2013 season at Central Michigan of the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) on Saturday, Sept. 7. The Wildcats possess the nation's longest streaks for consecutive playoff appearances (nine) and consecutive weeks ranked (126).
To purchase 2013 UNH football season tickets, visit www.unhwildcats.com or call (603) 862-4000, extension 5. For more information on the UNH football program, visit www.unhwildcats.com or follow @UNHWildcats on Twitter.

A Summerville man has been charged with felony driving under the influence resulting in death following a July 11 wreck.
John Dodge Haynes, Jr., 52 years old at the time of the incident, was arrested by Summerville Police. The charge was entered into the court system Monday.
Dorchester County Coroner Chris Nisbet said Jane Tee, 66, of Charleston, died July 14 from injuries she suffered in the wreck.
According to an incident report, Haynes crashed into a Honda CRV with four people in it at the intersection of Ladson Road and Midland Parkway at about 10 p.m. Tee was a passenger in the CRVs back seat. A witness told police that the Honda CRV was headed westbound on Ladson Road and was stopped at a green light; she said Haynes was driving westbound behind the stopped CRV and crashed into it.
When the officer arrived on scene, Hayness car was at the corner of the two roads and the CRV was about 200 feet away in the side yard of a home, according to the incident report.
Tee was unconscious when the officer reached her; the officer cut her seat belt to allow EMS access to help her.
The officer also conducted a field sobriety test on Haynes, according to the incident report.
The officer said there was a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from Haynes and that Hayness eyes were glassy and his speech slurred.
The officer asked Haynes to recite the alphabet from C to Q, but Haynes skipped several letters and ended with T instead of Q, according to the report.
Haynes was arrested that evening for felony DUI.
He was taken to jail but bonded out July 12 on a $52,274.50 surety bond.

A project seven years in the making has come to fruition with the ribbon cutting on June 21 of the new Berkeley County Water and Sanitation Central Berkeley Waste Water Treatment plant.
BCWS Director Colin Martin and Berkeley County Supervisor Dan Davis hosted a gathering of civic and business leaders for the ribbon cutting ceremony and a tour of the new facility.
The facility replaces the old plant on Old Highway 52 near Berkeley Country Club.
"The old treatment facility had a capacity of treating 350,000 gallons of waste water per day," said Martin. "The new plant will increase the treatment capacity of the current service area by 10 times, averaging three million gallons per day, enough to meet the county's needs for the next 15 years."
Martin added that the $17 million treatment plant, located on landfill property off Hwy. 52 could be easily expanded to increase capacity to more than 6 million gallons per day, enough to serve the needs of Berkeley County for the next 25 years.
"This project came in on time and under budget," Martin said.
The county supervisor said the plant answers the call to the needs of the fastest growing county in South Carolina and 35th fastest growing county in the nation.
"We need this facility," Davis said. "The growth has occurred in the county and we have to answer the call to meet this growth.
"Because of the innovative work at Water and Sanitation, Berkeley County has become a leader in the state in production of green energy and we are leading the field in green energy technology. There's a call out there to meet the energy needs of a growing population in Berkeley County and we are all in green energy development."

We are less than five weeks from the election. Not only are there local and national races that will affect the future of this country, there will be a School Improvement Referendum on the ballot in Dorchester County.
There will be a separate question regarding the addition of an Aquatic Center, owned by the school system and operated by the YMCA.
If you have attended one of the events to hear Superintendent Pye speak about the referendum, you know the facts, and the facts are appalling.
We have children who are eating lunch at 10 a.m. and being forced to sit outside to do so, regardless of the weather, due to lack of space in the lunch rooms.
How is a child who eats lunch at 10 a.m. supposed to have enough energy to participate in after-school sports at 3 p.m. on an empty stomach?
We have arts teachers who are literally wheeling their supplies from classroom to classroom, finding available space to hold class, because band and art rooms have been turned into much-needed classroom space.
We have schools built for 600-700 students, that now house 1,300 students, putting the overflow in trailers on the campus. Currently 3,500 students attend class in trailers each day.
We have children waiting at bus stops at 5:30 a.m. because there are no schools anywhere near their neighborhoods.
One of the biggest reasons that people move to this area, boosting our local economy by buying houses here, shopping in our local stores, and eating in our local restaurants is our school system. Dorchester District Two is known as one of the best school systems in the state.
No one wants their property taxes raised, myself included. But the tradeoff here is a better quality of life for us all. Not passing this will cost each of us more than we would save in taxes.
Whether this referendum passes will have a huge impact on this community for years to come.
It will affect the prices we can all expect to ask for homes we might want to sell.
The technology upgrades alone will affect whether our children are prepared for what the future holds, and whether companies will locate here because of an available well-trained workforce.
Our children deserve better, our teachers and administrators deserve better, and we in Dorchester County deserve better. This goes far beyond bricks and mortar.
For just 19 cents per day on the value of a $100,000 home, we can make this happen. What can you get today for 19 cents?
In this case, you can improve the lives of our students, teachers, administrators, and you and me.
For an additional one half-cent per day, we can teach every second grade student in DD2 to swim, eliminating the unnecessary deaths of some of our precious children each year.
Less than two dimes a day.
Id call that quite a bargain indeed.

Conor McGregor Suffered Torn ACL at UFC Fight Night 26
Strange considering there were articles published yesterday claiming the knee injury wasn't serious. See you towards the end of 2014, Conor.
Conor McGregor will be sidelined 9-to-10 months after suffering a serious knee injury in a victory at UFC Fight Night 26 this past Saturday night.
According to UFC president Dana White on FOX Sports Live, McGregor suffered a complete ACL tear, a MCL strain and a posterior horn meniscal tear, and he will need surgery.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's basketball team shot 55 percent in the second half to snare an 80-52 win over Auburn Sunday afternoon at the McKenzie Arena. Chattanooga improves to 4-1 on the year and adds one more to its home court win streak while Auburn falls to 3-2 overall.
The Lady Mocs jumped out to a 14-0 lead to start the game before Auburn could catch its breath and get back into the game. It would take the Tigers two time outs and almost 10 minutes to get to within three points, making it 23-20 with 5:46 to play in the first. However, Chattanooga, who never trailed, outscored Auburn 12-4 down the stretch and led 35-24 at the break.
Senior Meghan Downes (Newnan, Ga.) scored all eight of her first half points in the opening run and closed out the contest with a game-high 17 points and adding a career-high three steals.
In the second, the Lady Mocs held on to its double-digit lead. Auburn scored the first point of the second half to get as close as 10 points twice, but Chattanooga pushed the offense and on the strength of a 21-2 run, achieved its greatest lead, 58-29 with 12:38 to play.
Senior Ashlen Dewart (Spartanburg, S.C.) tied her season-high with 13 points and added five rebounds. Classmate Alex Black (Memphis, Tenn.) went 5-of-6 from the field and a perfect 3-of-3 from the 3-point line for her season-best 13 points. Senior Taylor Hall (New Tazewell, Tenn.) had eight points and eight rebounds, tied her career-high for assists with seven and topped her career-best for steals with five.
Chattanooga dished out 18 assists and had a season-low seven turnovers to go along with 11 steals. The Lady Mocs shot 50.9 percent (29-of-57) from the field and was 7-of-16 (43.8%) from beyond the arc. In the first half, UTC was 7-of-7 from the free throw line and added eight more on 12 attempts in the second half making 78.9 percent.
In the paint, the Lady Mocs outscored Auburn 40-23 and had 29 points off 22 Tiger miscues. Chattanooga's bench, with a combined 22 points from Black and junior Ka'Vonne Towns, outscored Auburn 35-17.
Auburn was 19-of-43 (44.2%) from the field led by Tra'Cee Tanner off the bench with 14 points and eight rebounds. Kiani Parker had 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting. Tyrese Tanner added eight points and five rebounds while Katie Frerkinjg had seven points off a 4-of-6 free throw effort.
Auburn shot just 36 percent in the first half making 9-of25, but stepped up its game in the second making 10-of-18 (55.6%) from the field.
Chattanooga's home court win streak is now at 30 games, the second-longest active win streak in the nation behind Baylor's 61.
Chattanooga closes out its home court run this calendar year and will play the next eight on the road beginning with a round robin classic in Hawaii. The Lady Mocs will open play at the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort and Spa Rainbow Wahine Classic Friday against Minnesota. The game is set to tip off at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time.

The man accused of breaking into a woman's home and stabbing her in the leg in a reported attempt to make her love him was detained on Thursday, according to the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.
Steven Ray Turner, 44, of Briarwood Road in Windsor, was charged with first-degree burglary and first-degree assault and battery, and placed in the Aiken County detention center.
The incident happened about 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday at a home on Stuckey Loop.
Turner allegedly used an ax to pry open the back door of the home, came into the 30-year-old victim's bedroom and groped her before stabbing her in the lower left leg with a knife, according to reports. According to the report, the victim said Turner told her, "'I stabbed you to make you love me.'"
The woman had a puncture wound about a half-inch long on her leg, according to the report.
Turner reportedly tried to break into her bedroom window but was unsuccessful, so he used the ax to enter the back door. Capt. Troy Elwell with the Aiken County Sheriff's Office said Turner was taken into custody without incident at his home on Thursday. Turner and the victim were "acquaintances," Elwell said.
The victim lives at the home along with a man and her son, both of whom where in the home when the burglary happened, according to the report.
Teddy Kulmala covers the crime beat for the Aiken Standard. He is a graduate of Clemson University and hails from Williston.

Things I liked:Like that it feels like it can take a beating and lots of space for accesories and the power wheel is nice to have
Things I would have changed:The price its pretty expensive for a simple looking build..I would hve made a nicer stock more like a maddog style. .did I mention the price hahaha
What others should know:Great gun with heavy pellets on high power 10
Things I liked:Accuracy is amazing and it shoots most pellets I've shot very well
Things I would have changed:Interchangeable grips would b nice
What others should know:It's quiet but still loud enough to get a little attention at night
Things I liked:US MADE!! Compact, lightweight and accurate. Lots of information out there as to how to tweak and modify this gun platform for accuracy and/or power. Trigger is OK to good.
Things I would have changed:Safety system is not so good. As in any gun, don't rely on it. Lots of reports of spontaneous firing as safety is released.
What others should know:VERY accurate. With JAB Exact pellets shoots 1/2" groups at 30 yards consistently. Conserve air by dialing down the power. Still plenty of power to take care of squirrels at lower settings. There are lots of accessories designed and sold by users available. Look at TalonAirgun.com forums for a great deal of information on this gun/platform since it's release. Also, AirForce is a USA company! I had a missing spin-loc spanner wrench that they quickly mailed out to me.

Google Goggles is an application that's sometimes useful, but it's not good enough to use it every time you want to find something about an object. The Android app has a new feature that integrates it with the Camera app, uploads all the photos you're taking to Google's servers and shows notifications in the status bar if Goggles found something useful. It may sound spooky, but it makes your phone's camera smarter.
"With this new opt-in feature in Goggles, you can simply photograph an image using your phone's camera, and Goggles will work in the background to analyze your image. If your photo contains items that Goggles can recognize, the app will notify you," explains Google. The feature is disabled by default, but you can enable it from the settings page by choosing "Search from Camera".
It's probably a good idea to only enable this option when you're on vacation or when you're planning to photograph barcodes for products you want to buy. It's also useful if you're in a bookstore and you want to "bookmark" some books.
Google Mobile's help center informs that "each Goggles query consumes approximately 100 KB of data" and you can limit the amount of data that's consumed by selecting "Search on WiFi networks only" under "Mobile Connection".
"Search from Camera" is one of the features that won't be available in the Google app for iPhone because iOS' background APIs aren't that powerful. If you have an Android device, install Google Goggles 1.6 from the Android Market.

Amazingly creative! He definitely has his priorities straight and is not afraid to talk about them. He is proud of his values, like every one should be. Not only that, but it seemed the audience was also extremely inspired and impressed by what he said showing that people (even non-jews) do have some sense of what's right and are impressed when they see someone who sticks to and is proud to hold by his/her values. And yes, he must have great parents. Thanks for lifting my soul.

I watched it a few times already with the strong hope in my heart that one day my children will see their judaism the same way this young man does. It's not easy to compete with the world out there but like our sages say "what comes from the heart goes straight into the heart". So i'm gonna keep on "brain washing" my kids from the bottom of my heart and they'll surely get it right! Yoshor Coach to you Mr Metzger. And keep on being a good example to all!

Since I had a lot to do with the trees gracing the medians and roadsides of our interstates, particularly those along the gateway to Charleston and Summerville, which the S.C. Department of Transportation wants to butcher, I think it's time to recall their genesis.
I first went to our state Senate in 1981. Except for the beautiful swamps that 1-26 crossed, the highway was boring, its byways kept mowed pavement to pavement to fences.
But near Columbia, centered on Milepost 118, were a couple of miles of mature pine timber, which I loved seeing on my weekly trips.
I often wondered what saintly highway engineer had decided not to kill these kings of the median.
Because of their size they were valuable, the kind we would all like to have if we owned timberland.
And then one Tuesday morning they were all gone, hauled away, their roots grubbed out. Only a long ugly scar remained.
When the Columbia folks realized what had happened, they raised such a ruckus that DOT planted the area with some non-native ornamentals some of which profane the median to this day.
When I tried to find out what had happened I was stonewalled. But ugly rumors were floating around, and some suggestions were leaked to me.
When a new director came to DOT, he sent his internal investigator to see me, and I gave him what information I had. He said he'd be back to me shortly, but I never saw him again.
That told me a lot, but it's been 30-some years since the tragedy, and many of those involved are now dead.
So, I decided to beautify our interstates by legislatively limiting the mowing to 30 feet from the drive surfaces with exceptions for height and safety.
I got lots of help from my colleagues in the General Assembly, and our bill to accomplish this became the law which is in effect now.
As I told the Senate then, "When you don't mow, the grass gives way to weeds and the weeds to saplings and the saplings to beautiful trees."
Those we now have take many years to grow and provide beauty for us all as well as oxygen, which trees exhale.
Valuable habitat for bird life is given as well as a reserve of timber for our nation if it is ever needed. In addition, many thousands of dollars are saved because of the vast acreage that needs no mowing.
In respect for the law, which DOT does not have, communities can get an exception for local improvements.
In my last year in the Senate I signed off on an amendment for the town of Hardeeville.
Politics in the Lowcountry this year may change if DOT pursues its unlawful chainsaw madness.
The races will not be between the traditional parties but between the tree cutters and the tree lovers.
I believe that the tree cutters will be exposed so that the voters can cut them down.

Except that your ability to gain "refined" AD (the ones you actually spend) is gated by a daily limit. So, technically, yes... you don't "have to" buy anything from the store, but if you don't, you'll be waiting for an extremely long time getting that stuff. This is a typical F2P "scam" where if you don't pay, your gameplay will suffer immensely, due the inherent penalties of not paying. And make no mistake, the game was explicitly designed to be this way. And no, trying to buy that stuff in the AH for gold is not viable, either.

You all talk about Asrals - but what about Gold? What can you buy with Gold? I mean, does it even mean anything in the economy?
Originally posted by Burntvet
(sigh) Did you not read my post? Anything in the game can be gotten without AD. Anything. It might not be a black, on-fire something, or it may not be the exact something with a fancy glowy graphic that can be purchased with AD, but it's pretty darn similar.
I'm not going to bat for this game, I enjoy playing it but I'm not a fanboi. It has issues and things I don't like.
But implying "you can't buy things from the AH if you don't pay" or "you'll be waiting a long time to get something" isn't true. This depends upon what you want. And not upon what you need.
If you've just got to have some specific thing or specific look, that may be the case. But that's the "ooh, shiny!" scenario. You don't need that stuff to play the game or enjoy it. You're not missing something. It's just the difference of a rock-golem skin, or a guy with a sword and shield. They functionally work just as well as the ones you get from quests for free.
I have no issues with legitimate problems with their model, but saying you can't get a level 3 mount or good items or a companion without paying is false information.
Originally posted by grim1234
Gold gets you all the needed basics you want in the game. Mounts, blue items/gear, consumables (potions, skill items, healing).
Item mods are drop-only (mobs or chests, pretty frequent - I had at least 4-5 slots worth of mods by 30) or through the AH (AD only). Upgrading mods just required you to combine them (again, no AD cost).
Runestones (companion-specific mods) were quest-given and drops (and could be purchased on the AH for AD). I had 5 Runestones by Level 30 from questing.
That basically covers it. Most items you want to get at level 1-30 were from instances. These had some of the best stuff, honestly. I got a blue chest at level 17 that was good until level 28 compared to dropped gear, and it certainly outdid anything the AD vendor sold under level 34.
Originally posted by LanessarOriginally posted by Burntvet
Well, that's not "anything" then, now is it? And when the AH prices go nuts because of the farmers/bots, it will be even worse. The fact is that a good number of items will be cash shop only, by way of refined AD, and in game acquisition of that is purposely limited. The title of the thread and the blurb from the developers say "Get everything you want by playing." Well, the point is, unless you are willing to spend untold time grinding everything, that is not going to happen in any reasonable amount of time, unless you pay real money, which is the point (and whether or not "similar" items are available is irrelevant to your claims and those of the devs).
Originally posted by Burntvet
Ok. Let's say it clearly then:
You want a flashy horse that goes 100% runspeed, and looks awesome, yes, you're paying. Be that time or money. It's all the same to me. If you want a non-flashy horse that goes 100% runspeed, you don't have to pay.
But calling it pay-to-win or a scam, being snarky on the model just because someone can't have something with a different skin... how do you expect them to make money? You want to save the grind, you can. As far as the economy, it's far too early to predict that at this point. CO and STO seem to do pretty well. We'll see.
Your comment seems to intimate that you literally cannot play the game without paying money; that's false. You will not be any wore off than someone who does pay - you will have companions, you will have a mount, all function just as well as a paying customer.
But if your gameplay "suffers immensely" because you don't have a fire elemental, but have to stick with the free mage (who function pretty much identically), then it seems further discourse with you is pretty useless.
It's certainly not P2W, it's not a scam.

LOL @ extremely long. When comparing to games like GW2 where it literally will take you months to get up enough gold to actually buy something from the store, PW games are very much tame. This is a complete exaggeration of how their currency systems work in Cryptic games, take it from a lifetimer of STO.
It generally takes me about a week to get 46k dilithium in STO to buy 500 Zen points in order to purchase things from the store (keep in mind this is with me skipping over things so I'm not playing ALL of the missions one would play to get the maximum amount of Dilithium per day). The in game stores are very different. The dilithium store is not the RMT store it's the in game second currency store, one can buy things one needs there as well (which it looks like the AD store will be like this). Very different then what you are suggesting.
Buying stuff for Gold is actually Viable because in STO it's the equivolent of Energy Credits which they use in their exchange. You can gear yourself very well in EC XII maxed gear from the drops others get from playing the max difficulty missions. It's not hard at all to get EC in STO all one has to do is explore missions (which are generally very easy and drop alot of useless resources).
I can understand having a problem with typical F2P models but this one is loads better then LOTRO and other games I've played that allowed for the conversion of in game earned currency to be used in their RMT store. You can actually get anything you want and it really doesn't take as long as people say.
Another example of how this is not a bad system for comparison could be the Laurel system in GW2, if for example they leave it the way it is now (no retro) it will literally take you 16 months time to gather enough laurels to fully gear your character in all ascended gear infusions jewelry the works. PW games aren't this bad because they give you three options to purchase what you need, and if you don't want to go out and earn it and two options to earn the currency to use it for purchases. It does not feel like a grind at all, trust me I've played some games with seriously poorly designed economies before and STO is not it.
If NW is using STO's model there's nothing to worry about at all.
Keep in mind also, that PW changed STO's system when they took over. They added Dilithium as a currency and the dilithium store (non RMT) which one can use to purchase the items one needs, ALSO they added the reputation system (the best reputation system I've ever seen in any game) and they've added the fleet (guild) system where one builds upon the fleet with resources gathered from the gameplay and once one reaches a certain level with it the entire fleet can purchase some of the best gear in the game. I hope they add this system to NW.

Just what' the hell's an Astral Diamond?
A type of currency used in-game to purchase gear and to bid in the auction house, Astral Diamonds 'are what we've dubbed a "time currency" (similar to Dilithium in Star Trek Online or Questionite inChampions Online). Typically, a player can earn Astral Diamonds by doing certain types of quests and missions. And, usually, this content is time limited so a player can only repeat this type of gameplay so often. In our Starter Packs, we provide players a treasure chest full of Astral Diamonds so their own epic tales can begin at a sprint.
This is just so Cryptic. Yes, you can pull out your two-handed sword with your Guardian and hack your way over many hours to a bounty of Astral Diamonds, or, you simply pull out your two-sided credit card and you can plunder the Astral Diamonds in seconds from their epic cash shop.

Do it across two toons and you'll have all of what you need for one in no time. It's a great system. If you want it all right this second sure spend the money, but you don't have to, the game isn't designed to force you to do the hardest stuff and have to have the best ever gear in order to do said questing, nor is it designed to cutoff people from seeing content if you aren't geared like the elephant in the room, AHEM WoW and others like WoW.
Really baffled about why people are having a problem with this unless they're really just haters on anything F2P vs Sub.

Usually F2P cash shop games simply try to make money two ways, box or download purchase and then they nickel and dime you over convenience, say by cash shop purchase of fast access to extra inventory slots or by instant access to in-game item currency, or xp pots...t'is a dirty way to fleece thy gamer and ye game maste's of old with their 20-sided dices surely didn't do the same in D&D games..or did they?

When he goes to say "i dont have to worry about geting subscriptions and only making a great game" that is a lie straight from the horses mouth
If anything its harder to make a f2p game that doesnt immediatly kill itself from the negative stigma that most f2p games get for being a pay 2 win games, you have to work even harder to make a game that still gives you enough revenue to stay afloat and add new content whill also not being pay 2 win, so many f2p's are forgotten and left to rot because they are pay 2 wins (Allods anyone?) VERY few f2p's get it right, where as p2p games are simple, make a amazing game and charge a small fee for it, WoW/Rift/EvE/GW2 all do this and are highly successfull
Doing f2p right is not easy, but it is easy to do it wrong

Yeah........Mr. Emmert.
STO is more "successful" not because of anything Cryptic did or does...but because the Star Trek franchise comes built in with millions of fans, and if Cryptic owned the IP like it does in Champions Online, you can bet your bottom dollar that STO would be languishing in the same neglected state that CO is right at this moment. Underdeveloped, neglected, shortstaffed, and generally forgotten about. Thank God Cryptic has to answer to someone else(that isn't PWI, either) or STO would be dead too.
Also...about never having to pay to get things from the shop....Astral Diamonds convert to zen.....only if someone that PAID FOR the zen in the first place puts it up for conversion. I sincerely doubt that Cryptic or PW will fund Astral to Zen out of the goodness of their hearts. So in reality, the "never pay" system relies on SOMEONE paying....just not you. If nobody that plays this game when it comes out EVER wants to trade cash zen purchases for Astral Diamonds...you can bet dollars to donuts that no amount of gameplay will ever be able to enable a player to buy things in the store without forking out cash money.
So, that's a little white lie from Mr. Emmert. Well, two. Well, more if you count his promises about development, communication and other things in Champions Online and STO.

Because back then EVERY MMO was sub based, so you didn't have to worry about monetization models and content churn for your cash shop and build game mechanics around making people need to use the cash shop. Instead, you made the best game you could, in order to get those subs. Somewhere along the line, the F2P gimmick game mechanics became more important than building in those things that were actually fun.

Some old games were great, but let's be honest about them. They had huge time sinks in place for the sole purpose of keeping you subbing longer. It wasn't some golden paradise where they focused on developing gaming utoopia. Patches and updates were much more sparse, but then again the sub was actually that. I mean the sub paid for it all. Now all the sub games pad that with a cash shop or rmt of some sort (time tokens, game cash conversions, micro-transactions, xpac and box fee sales, etc).
Even if a game offered the entire package for the sub fee again I don't think I want to rent temporary access to my games anymore. I like being able to hop into any one of them when I feel like wthout having to pony up cash.

So your point now is you won't be able to get items easy enough in a F2P game.that you will have to grind Astral diamonds much like you had to grind raids and dugeons to get items bavck in EQ?.

People expect more these days as games evolve and progress, its mostly why I can't play many of the older games now. They feel clunky, outdated, and just not that much fun.. if this wasn't the case why not just play the old MMOs they are mostly all still going.

But as we all know, inflation and farmers are going to make this time sync unachievable for most people, only the full time 8 hour a day players are going to have the option to acquire everything without paying........allot more than 15 a month.
This is a just marketing spew. Its no different then saying, hey everyone can become a millionaire all you have to do is get a million people to give you a dollar, now go get started!!!!!

Those who so often wax nostalgic always seem to come up with an excuse as to why they won't play the old games now. What I hear most often is that the game patched in some way that "ruined" it fo them. There is ToA, Trammel, NGE, or some other infamous patch or update that "dumbed down the game to make it a WoW clone".
Do those people really think that if their vanilla version of a game launched today it would fly? Worse yet are those who think their hand-picked set of changes would have revitalized the game.
I think that all games eventually do "just end". At some point you've done about all you're going to do and it will be time to move on. They're a lot like tv shows in that regard. Even the longest running shows like Dr. Who have to reinvent themselves periodically or they stale.

Teixeira's got this by KO. I love Rampage, but he ain't half the man he used to be.
If Guida can keep it standing and mobile then I think he'll outwork Hioki.
I suspect Cerrone might outgrapple Pettis, maybe pick up a submission win.
Bader to beat Matyushenko by KO or decision, provided he doesn't get trapped in another guillotine.
Winner of Russow-v-Jordan will be by decision.
Koch and Grant to win.
I give the main event to Mighty Mouse.

Celebrating Beer and Mushrooms With Russian River's Vinnie Cilurzo and Chef Marc Dym
It's not every day that you get invited to a seven course dinner where every dish is paired with beer, and it's even less often that those beers were made by one of your brewing heroes. Let's just say that when the invitation arrived asking if I'd be a guest at the sixth annual Mushroom and Beer Dinner at Mendocino's Little River Inn, I accepted pretty much before the email had fully downloaded. And that was before I knew that I'd get to sit right next to Russian River's Vinnie Cilurzo. More


text: MAC Lady at Play Mineralize Rich Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.14 oz.) is described as a "mid-tonal cool tangerine." It's a coral-red with warm undertones with soft, creamy finish and a light sheen. It's definitely not cool-toned, but it is a rosier red with less orange in it, so it's not as warm-toned as it could be. Burberry Pink Amber is darker. Chanel Enjouee is pinker. Guerlain Chamade is pinker, less bright. MAC Watch Me Simmer is pinker and brighter. Chanel Flamboyante is a touch redder. MAC Viva Glam Cyndi is a touch more muted.

My RPG History
I started with AD&D2e and Palladium's TMNT in the late 90s, and have moved through 3.5 to 4e (both of which I considered to be improvements over their predecessors), with brief detours in Kobolds Ate My Baby, Big Eyes Small Mouth, the old d6 Star Wars, d20 Modern, 4e Amethyst, and Roll for Shoes. While I haven't played much of it (only some generic/Hunter nWoD), I've read up on most of White Wolf's stuff (oWoD & nWoD, Scion, Exalted) because I like parts of their systems and love their fluff (especially Exalted & oWoD). I DM from time to time but prefer to be a player. I've also had some fun with Microscope.
Current Games
My main group recently built our own system, a blend of 4e combat, the FORGE system from Iconoclast for skills, and GURPS advantages, because we want something in between 4e and 3.5 and we all agree that DnD Next looks like it's going to be terrible (you can tell Mearls just doesn't understand why anyone might want a playstyle other than his own; polling has let him know that many people don't like what he likes, but he has no clue why, or how to appeal to those people). We made our own setting using Dawn of Worlds (warning, PDF!). Lately though, we've been looking for a change in tone and have been trying out Roll for Shoes, FATE Core, and Legend.
I'd like to try 13th Age, and am looking forward to Red Aegis.

Children should not use products that contain codeine after certain surgeries (including tonsil/adenoid removal). Also, for children younger than 12 years, do not use codeine to treat cough or pain unless specifically directed by the doctor. Some children are more sensitive to codeine and have had very serious (rarely fatal) breathing problems such as slow/shallow breathing (see also Side Effects section). Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about the risks and benefits of this medication.Who should not take codeine sulfate?
See also Warning section.
This medication is used to treat mild to moderate pain. It acts on certain centers in the brain and spinal cord to give you pain relief. Codeine is a narcotic pain reliever related to morphine.
OTHER USES: This section contains uses of this drug that are not listed in the approved professional labeling for the drug but that may be prescribed by your health care professional. Use this drug for a condition that is listed in this section only if it has been so prescribed by your health care professional.
Codeine may also be used to control a cough.
Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor. Pain medications work best when taken at the first signs of pain. If you wait until the pain has worsened, the medication may not work as well. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. For children, the dosage is also based on weight.
If you are using the liquid form, read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start taking codeine and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Carefully measure the dose using a special measuring device/spoon. Do not use a household spoon because you may not get the correct dose.
If so directed by your doctor, you may also use long-acting narcotic medications for ongoing pain. In that case, this medication might be used when needed for sudden attacks of "breakthrough" pain. Also follow your doctor's or pharmacist's instructions for the safe use of non-narcotic pain relievers (e.g., acetaminophen, ibuprofen). Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions about your treatment.
This medication may cause withdrawal reactions, especially if it has been used regularly for a long time or in high doses. In such cases, withdrawal symptoms (such as restlessness, runny nose, watering eyes, trouble sleeping, severe abdominal/muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, rapid breathing, and fast heartbeat) may occur if you suddenly stop using this medication. To prevent withdrawal reactions, your doctor may reduce your dose gradually. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details, and report any withdrawal reactions immediately.
Though it is very unlikely to occur, this medication can also be habit-forming and may result in abnormal drug-seeking behavior (addiction). Do not increase your dose, take it more frequently, or use it for a longer period of time than prescribed. Properly stop the medication when so directed. This will lessen the chances of becoming addicted.
When used for a long time, this medication may not work as well and may require different dosing. Talk with your doctor if this medication stops working well.
Inform your doctor if your pain persists or worsens.
Nausea commonly occurs with the use of codeine and usually goes away after the first few doses. Consult your doctor or pharmacist about ways to decrease nausea (e.g., antihistamines, taking with food, lying down for 1-2 hours with as little head movement as possible).
Lightheadedness, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, flushing, vomiting, constipation, and sweating may also occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
To prevent constipation, maintain a diet adequate in fiber, drink plenty of water, and exercise. If you become constipated while using this drug, consult your pharmacist for help in selecting a laxative (such as stimulant-type with stool softener).
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: mental/mood changes (such as agitation, restlessness), fast/slow/irregular heartbeat, vision changes, severe stomach/abdominal pain, change in the amount of urine.
Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: fainting, seizures.
Codeine is changed into a strong narcotic drug (morphine) in your body. In some people, this change happens faster and more completely than usual, which increases the risk of very serious side effects. Get medical help right away if you notice any of the following: slow/shallow breathing, unusual drowsiness/difficulty waking up, confusion.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
In the US -
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
Before taking codeine, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to other narcotic pain medications (e.g., morphine, hydrocodone, oxycodone); or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients (such as sulfites found in some brands), which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: stomach/abdominal problems (such as blockage, constipation, diarrhea due to infection, paralytic ileus, gallbladder disease, pancreatitis, ulcerative colitis), adrenal gland problems (such as Addison's disease), brain disorders (such as seizures, head injury, tumor), heart problems (such as irregular heartbeat, low blood pressure), kidney disease, liver disease, breathing problems (such as asthma, sleep apnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-COPD), personal or family history of regular drug/alcohol abuse, mental/mood disorders (such as toxic psychosis), difficulty urinating (such as enlarged prostate).
This drug may make you dizzy or drowsy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires alertness until you are sure you can perform such activities safely. Avoid alcoholic beverages.
Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist that you are using this medication.
To minimize dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a seated or lying position.
Some children may be more sensitive to very serious side effects of this drug, such as extreme sleepiness, confusion, or slow/shallow/noisy breathing. (See also Warning section.)
Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of this drug, especially confusion, dizziness, drowsiness, and slow/shallow breathing.
Before using this medication, women of childbearing age should talk with their doctor(s) about the risks and benefits. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or if you plan to become pregnant. During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. It may slightly increase the risk of birth defects if used during the first two months of pregnancy. Also, using it for a long time or in high doses near the expected delivery date may harm the unborn baby. To lessen the risk, take the smallest effective dose for the shortest possible time. Tell the doctor right away if you notice any symptoms in your newborn baby such as slow/shallow breathing, irritability, abnormal/persistent crying, vomiting, or diarrhea.
This drug passes into breast milk and may rarely have undesirable effects on a nursing infant. Tell the doctor right away if your infant develops increased sleepiness, trouble breast-feeding, trouble breathing, or unusual limpness. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor before breast-feeding.
Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.
Some products that may interact with this drug include: certain pain medications (mixed narcotic agonist-antagonists such as butorphanol/nalbuphine), narcotic antagonists (such as naltrexone).
The risk of serious side effects (such as slow/shallow breathing, severe drowsiness/dizziness) may be increased if this medication is taken with other products that may also affect breathing or cause drowsiness. Therefore, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking other products such as alcohol, medicine for sleep or anxiety (such as alprazolam, diazepam, zolpidem), muscle relaxants, and other narcotic pain relievers (such as morphine).
Check the labels on all your medicines (such as allergy or cough-and-cold products) because they may contain ingredients that cause drowsiness. Ask your pharmacist about using those products safely.
This medication may interfere with certain laboratory tests (including amylase and lipase tests), possibly causing false test results. Make sure laboratory personnel and all your doctors know you use this drug.
If overdose is suspected, contact a poison control center or emergency room immediately. US residents can call their local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center. Symptoms of overdose may include: slow/shallow breathing, slow heartbeat, cold/clammy skin, loss of consciousness.
Do not share this medication with others. It is against the law.
This medication has been prescribed for your current condition only. Do not use it later for another condition unless told to do so by your doctor. A different medication may be necessary in those cases.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Store at room temperature away from light and moisture. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep all medications away from children and pets.
Do not flush medications down the toilet or pour them into a drain unless instructed to do so. Properly discard this product when it is expired or no longer needed. Consult your pharmacist or local waste disposal company.
