Rated 4 out of 5 by Debra35 Elegant accessory to dress up any outfit I am very happy with this cuff. You may add it to any casual dress for instant elegance! It really helps your outfit "pop," and you won't need much else! June 30, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by pianoprincess Stylish, Beautiful Cuff...but TIGHT!!! I really love this cuff, in spite of its problems. It's stylish, definitely an attention-grabber, and so far looks great with everything I've worn. At first, I was hesitant to order it because it's listed as "blazer blue," and I don't wear dark blue very often. As it turns out, it's not a problem because it's so dark that it looks black against whatever I'm wearing. The main problem with this cuff is that it's VERY tight, and doesn't lend itself to stretching. My wrists are average size, but it's a struggle to get on and off. The top of my hand was sore for about a day after struggling with it multiple times. Once it's on, it looks fabulous, but you might be aware of the fact that it presses against the bones on each side of your wrist...not an issue for me, but it might be for some. I will continue to wear it because it looks so good with everything, but I will consider using something to help it slide on a little better. February 9, 2013

Faculty & Research
Over the last decade, the SMU Cox School of Business has attracted an outstanding group of professors distinguished by their innovative research, passion for teaching and corporate consulting experience. With graduates of Wharton, Stanford, University of Chicago, Harvard Business School and other top-ranked institutions, the SMU Cox faculty today is one of the very best in the world.
- The SMU Cox faculty is ranked among the top 30 business schools in the world for research productivity in economics, finance, information systems, marketing and strategy, according to a recent study by Academic Assessment Services (AAS). Only six other U.S. business schools rank in the top 30 in all five categories.
- The Economist ranks SMU Cox #17 in the world for faculty quality and our EMBA, PMBA and full-time MBA students all gave our faculty an A+ according to the latest Bloomberg Businessweek rankings.
Cox professors do more than teach the latest business trends and topics. They influence the direction of business through cutting-edge research on wide ranging topics, including the effects of terrorism on global capital markets, the evolution of the four-generation workplace, new compensation models for the health care industry and the collateral value of fine art.

Perfect everyday blush for pale to fair skin. Looks very natural and glowing on skin, just not as all over face powder–too much sparkle. Color is well balanced, cool pink with a hint of peach–doesn't look like a typical blush but gives a perfect flush to cheeks.
Very versatile color that's hard to overdo. Foolproof product, light rose scent, controversial value (old packaging 10g, new flip box design 7g). Packaging is sturdy cardboard and includes a brush that works surprisingly well in a pinch.
Dandelion is a light, muted pink with subtle warm undertones and a barely-there gold shimmer-sheen. It had good color payoff with a soft, lightly powdery consistency that blends easily and wears for seven and a half hours on me. Benefit describes this particular Box o' Powder as a highlighter to "brighten" the complexion. See swatches of dupes / view dupes side-by-side.

|Skins & Trivia
|Statistics Edit
Ability Details
Ability Details
Decisive Strike is a self-buff, on-hit effect ability.
- The triggering attack will apply other on-hit effects and can critically strike as normal.
- As with most on-hit physical damage, the bonus damage from Decisive Strike will apply life steal.
- Critical strikes will not interact with the bonus damage from Decisive Strike.
- The bonus damage will affect structures.
- The entire damage will go through dodge.
- The entire damage will be mitigated if Garen's attack is blocked or parried.
- Decisive Strike's empowerment will be consumed if the attack misses.
- In all 3 cases listed above the target will still be silenced.
- Spell shields will block the enhanced autoattack.
Additional Information:
- Decisive Strike has no cast time and does not interrupt Garen's previous orders.
- Decisive Strike will reset Garen's attack timer on cast.
- Decisive Strike's on-hit effect and movement speed buff are independent. Using the enhanced autoattack will not remove the movement speed buff.
Ability Details
Courage's passive is a defensive self-buff ability.
Courage's active is both a defensive and utility self-buff ability.
Courage's active is both a defensive and utility self-buff ability.
Additional Information:
- Courage has no cast time and does not interrupt Garen's previous orders.
- Courage's passive benefits are not lost while the ability is on cooldown.
- Courage's passive bonuses are calculated after armor and magic resistance reductions are taken into account. If the value of bonus resistance is inferior to the amount reduced, Garen will be considered as having no bonus resistances and will therefore not get any resistances from Courage's passive.
- Courage's damage reduction does not affect true damage.
Ability Details
Judgment is a point blank area of effect ability.
- Applies spell effects as an area of effect ability.
- Spell vamp is reduced to one-third effectiveness.
- will apply a 40% slow for 1 second.
- Spell shields will not block the ability.
Additional Information:
- While Judgment is active, Garen cannot use basic attacks, but may still move and use his other champion abilities, summoner spells and item actives.
- Although Garen will benefit from Decisive Strike's slow removal and movement speed boost, he cannot apply its autoattack modifier since Garen cannot attack while Judgment is active.
- Garen may cast Demacian Justice while Judgment is active - however, he will cancel the ability to do so.
- Judgment is not a channeled ability. As such, crowd control will not stop its effects. Silences will, however, prevent Garen from deactivating the ability early.
- Judgment can critically strike, but only the AD ratio damage portion of the ability will be affected by a crit.
- Judgment is subject to a flat critical strike damage penalty of 50% for a total critical strike ratio of 150% (normally 200%). An , for example, would increase this to 200% (normally 250%).
- Although Judgment lasts for 3 seconds, the first tick of damage occurs as soon as the ability is cast, with 5 more ticks of damage occuring every half second afterward. As a result, the last 0.5 seconds of the ability deals no damage.
- If other sources of anti-collision (such as Ghost or ) are affecting Garen as he uses Judgment, Garen will still be slowed when pathing through units.
Ability Details
Demacian Justice is a single targeted ability.
- Applies spell effects as a single target ability.
- Spell vamp is fully applied.
- will apply a 40% slow for 1.5 seconds.
- Magic damage will be mitigated by magic shields.
- Spell shields will block the ability.
Additional Information:
- The percentual damage component displayed in the tooltip is presented in simple digits rather than percentages, displaying that the ability deals 1 additional damage per 3.5 / 3 / 2.5 health the target is missing.

–Country/bluegrass crossover stars Alison Krauss & Union Station return to Bend's Les Schwab Amphitheater Saturday. (By the way, you really should grab a print copy of The Bulletin today.

–The Bend Summer Festival will be crawling with bands all weekend, including Toad the Wet Sprocket, Ottmar Liebert, Night Ranger, Coco Montoya, The Dirt Drifters, Luce, Mosley Wotta and tons of locals.

Elsewhere in this week's music section: Washington bluegrassers Polecat play twice, gifted Portland MC Illmaculate visits Madhappy Lounge, a roving group of Accordion Babes invades McMenamins, The Barn in Sisters hosts a fundraiser for the High & Dry Bluegrass Festival, and a Last Band Standing update.
Big weekend out there. Have fun, y'all!

Wind: 0 mph
Robert Foster Graham Sr.
Aka Bob "the Dancing Bear"
I (Jr.) would like to announce to the Mad River Valley community the passing my father. On November 4, 2012, at 1: 05 p.m., surrounded by his family, Dad slipped away peacefully, but not before making us laugh one last time... and then leaving us with his last words... "I love you all."
He loved Vermont and the Mad River Valley more than anywhere on Earth. He was a kind, funny, generous, loving man who cherished his family and friends! Born in Patterson, NJ, to Archibald and Elizabeth Graham, he is survived by his wife Nicole (Nicky) Graham of Chestertown, MD; his daughter Valerie Michel Walker, her husband Michael Walker, grandchildren Nicole and James Walker of Hewlett, NY; his son Eric Michel Graham and his wife Susan Graham of Northfield, VT; and his son Robert Foster Graham Jr. and his love Akiko Balchiunas of Warren, VT.
Dad was an adventurer, traveler, outdoors enthusiast (motorcycles, skiing, sailing, tennis, hiking to name a few) and an entrepreneur. He worked as a jet engine aircraft mechanic after serving in the Air Force (1955-57) during the Korean War, based at Edwards AFB in CA and Thule, Greenland. His true calling was the world of sales in which he was very successful (Budd centralized vacuum systems NJ, real estate, VT, and cheeseburgers from Sticky Fingers Snack Bar ... all so very fitting because he loved interacting with people ... helping people and the art of the sale).
Dad fell in love with skiing and the Mad River Valley as a young man and served as a volunteer ski patroller at MRG for 28 years, he volunteered on the Mad River Valley Ambulance Service for many years and was also an Elk and served as the exalted ruler at the Montpelier, VT, Elks Lodge in 1987-88. Dad also loved to participate in the follies of the Warren Fourth of July in various characters.
Dad lived a largely happy, fun, beautiful life! He was blessed by so many friends from all walks of life and the love of his family. If you knew him ... chances are pretty certain you have some fond memories and shared a few laughs!
We have set up a Facebook page "In Loving Memory of Robert 'Bob' Graham" for anyone who would like to post old photos, happy memories or funny stories.
As were Papa's wishes ... he wanted us to have a party in celebration of his life and leave his ashes at the mountain he loved, so that is exactly what we are going to do! The date and time of the Bob Graham Memorial Party has yet to be determined, but we do know it's going to be held at Mad River Glen sometime in the spring of 2013 before the mountain closes. We will announce the party in The Valley Reporter, on Facebook and by word of mouth. We hope to see everyone who loved him and can make it to the party.
A poem I would like to dedicate to my Papa
—by Ralph Waldo Emerson
"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - THIS is to have Succeeded!"
Bob Graham was a very Successful man!!!
Happy day to all! —Rob

Editor's note: The following is the final installment of a two-part series on the radio program at Columbia City High School.
COLUMBIA CITY — Tune the radio dial to WJHS 91.5 and students from Columbia City High School can be heard broadcasting community news, events as well as popular music.
The station, which started in 1985, works as a on-air classroom.
"You learn as you go," said Hunter Clark, a CCHS junior. "This is a class where you learn on the job, but the experience is invaluable."
For Clark, the radio station has helped direct his career choice.
"I want to do sports broadcasting after school," he said.
Clark is heard over the air waves giving a play-by-play of CCHS basketball games. He said each time he sits in front of the microphone is a learning experience and a chance for him to better his skills.
Michelle Creech teaches the radio class. For her, WJHS is a homecoming. She originally took the class and worked the station when she was in high school.

Comments about Justin Boots Justin Women's 8" Gypsy Heart Round Toe Western Boots:
I used these as my low key show boots. They looked good for the first 2 or 3 weeks that i had them but after a month the pink on top started fadeing and turned blue because of my jeans. the leather like material started fading and got rubbed down. I wore zocks with these one show and got terrible blisters( I had to wear flip flops for a week and a half)! I wear these as muck boots now they are too beat up to use in shows. These might look like do everything in boots but they are only for shows if you want them to look good.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by alexandrialanier A Mid Summer Night's Dream I can't help but think of Shakespeare when I see this dress on. I bought it for a shoot and it really did perform quite well. I however do not get a bohemian feeling from this dress at all. I added a a soft pink slip under it which really helped fill in the color, while leaving plenty of fabric for light to flow through. The fit is nice and not as funky on top as people are saying. I will keep it in my wardrobe for future shoots. Model, Sarah fell in love with it and chose it twice to wear for her shoot. Who knows it may end up being a favorite with the girls. Love and Light Alexandria 6.13.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by p1gp3n <3 tulle i was able to try this in my regular size and one size smaller. i usually like my clothes to fit loose, but in this case, i opted for the smaller size which i find fits better on top with less bunching. other than that, the two sizes fit very similar. i'm 5'3" so it's a little long, about 2-3 inches on the ground. the difference in colors is a lot more noticeable, especially on top, but i actually like the contrast. it's definitely a very pretty, ethereal piece, which i probably can't wear very often, but i want it anyways coz it's pretty. 3.6.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by FP-Karen I am a PRINCESS wore this Friday -fits well- no snags, will be easy to launder -cold - delicate- wore it wwith a crochet tunic in ivory over it and something cute over that tell you the truth I can't rememeber the top layer but my husband even said "ooh - pretty" I'm 5'6' 143 -holiday lbs - sad face- and 36DD. 1.6.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by nvd SHELL LOVE, love, love this slip, It is very sheer, but I feel like a princess. I have a S, I'm a 5'5", 135 lbs, 34b. It fits well, but it is a tiny bit long, however the bottom frays beautifully. I recommend the FP bodysuit for underneath or any fitted bodysuit. If you are on the shorter side heels are a must. Biding my time till it goes on sail to get more colors!! 12.12.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by karlarae Perfect Summer Dress I ordered this to wear at a photo session I won with a local photographer. At first I thought it was a bit awkward in the bust and was un-sure if I was going to wear it at all but it worked - and I love to wear it with a baggy sweater over it as well. I paired it with the seamless mini STYLE: 24841850 in steel. 8.28.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by cosmos gorgeous but flimsy the styling is great and i love the tulle skirt, but the top is not very well made. the material is very thin. i don't imagine it will be long before it rips or the stitching comes apart. it's too bad, because the skirt is beautiful. 8.21.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by LilyOfTheValley WOW. I am so happy I got this!!!!!! (pink colour). My wardrobe is 99 % Free People, so I have a lot of FP clothes, but this is the best FP purchase so far. This dress is so beautiful that I don't know what to say. It is really, really flattering. I am 156 cm (I think that is about 5'2 in US measurements) and 59 kg, I have big hips & a bit of tummy, and this dress totally hides the fat; it makes me look taller and skinnier. The fabric is beautiful, it is really well made, just stunning. Perfect for a party (with a slip underneath), or for day wear with a printed tank top over. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 7.16.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by MGiovanna Lovely muted colours So pleased with this. Pretty in muted blues without being too girly: if anyone saw the Gregory Doran production of A Midsummer Night's Dream at the RSC a few years back ... this would fit right in, and I can also picture it with biker boots. I put a black slip under for even subtler colours, or ivory would keep it paler. I also put the Embroidered Confections top over, knotted at the front corners for a bit of definition, and it is pretty in a comfortable relaxed & understated way. I will put warmer tops and opaque tights and boots with it in winter. I am UK 14-16, tried the M & L and kept the L. I think it is more flattering at the rear than it appears on the model (I am curvier than the model!). I didn't have a problem with any puffiness as some reviewers did. Really nice. 7.6.2013

OK lets change this to a WoW v 1.0 thread. Maybe clone is the wrong word to get the point across. Maybe it is more accurate to say that 1.0 germinated from WoW.
The WoW classes are hybrids. I would never go to the official WoW forums. The WoW system is ubiquitous. When I played WoW respecing and getting new gear was not that hard. Druid, paladin, shaman, warrior, death knight, and priest are all hybrids. They can perform multiple functions in a party. A non hybrid's function would be to ONLY heal, ONLY deal damage, or ONLY take hits. Efficiency has NOTHING to do with it. The mere option makes it a hybrid. If it was not a hybrid then ALL warriors would ONLY do damage on every single server.
FFXIV's classes are not as much of a hybrid as WoWs. As a conjurer I could take hits, deal damage (through spells), andh heal. This IS a hybrid. Partys were not so much about hybrids. Soloing was about hybrids and I could solo as much as I wanted (which sucks). They are hybrid.
What does gender and race matter in WoW? The few extra skills you get with different races are insignificant. Nothing changes with gender. Whether you play with the alliance or the horde it is virtuallly the same experience.
You do write too much for a forum.
I played 1.0 for four months. What do I care that everyone who played the game until the servers shut down thinks it is the best thing ever or that it doesn't play like WoW?
FFXIV is much more of a themepark than a sandbox game. I can't read anymore of that.
Edit: And I still really do not care about 1.0

Every character in FFXI beyond level 18 was a hybrid, due to the Support Job system allowing you to bring abilities and bonuses of other jobs to bear for your main job. Does that mean FFXI was a WoW clone, too?
You don't know how "extremely solo friendly" ARR yet, as no one has actually really played it fully yet. The closest to that are the current Alpha testers, and they're not allowed to talk about it. So you're talking pure conjecture there.
"Traveling, experiences points, armor, skills, are all handed out. "
I've yet to have traveling "handed out" to me in XIV 1.0. With the exception of a couple nodes, I've had to physically go and unlock each aetheryte camp and node before I could teleport there. I've had to run along long distances to get where I needed to go, through dangerous terrain with mobs that could kill me in 3 hits at times. I've seen no indication that it will be any different in 2.0.
Every point of XP I've gained has been earned by completing a quest, fighting a mob, crafting something, harvesting something, etc. I've never gotten "exploration xp" in XIV for merely walking forward and crossing an invisible line like you do in WoW. So.. not sure what you're getting at there, either. No indication it'll be any different in 2.0.
Armor is handed out? Really? So players will never have to buy, craft or kill mobs or "raid bosses" to get gear in 1.0 or in ARR? They'll just fall from the sky and land in our inventory bags? Boy, was I gypped! Care to share how you know this? Or is it, yet again, just more conjecture?
And on... and on... and on... Your post is so full of easily disproven and blatantly cherry-picked misinformation that I'm almost impressed you had the nerve to even post it. Anyone who's played FFXIV for any amount of time would know right off the bat you're full of it. You can spin it any way you want, try to play with words or mis-label things so they fit your scenario better.. but at the end of the day... your entire post is nonsense.

Ignorance is bliss.
It seems that every MMO that comes out regardless, people will talk out of their anal cavity about stuff they know absolutely nothing about.

FFXI used subjobs to create extremely specialized classes. A Paladin did not sub whitemage to be a healer and tank. He subbed warrior to add provoke, more defense, hit points, etc. A whitemage subbed blackmage so that he had more mana, not to nuke. There are exception to this and they are just that, exceptions. For example, Dragoon subbing whitemage. A hybrid in FFXI (pre ToAU) was not thought very highly of. The redmage was really the only hybrid.
You can teleport anywhere you have traveled to once in FFXIV. Chocobos and air ships are easy to get. Everyone has them. These are all cheap modes of transportation. It is handed out
I never had any trouble finding anything in FFXIV. I just went to a shop or the place where the bazillions of retainers were. The point is that money is never a problem.
This is truth. I never even wanted to talk about 1.0 on this thread.

As far as copying WoW goes, MY PERSONAL OPINION here,WoW was the worst MMO ever made. I tried to play it numerous times and it was boring. I have only liked 1 game that was made kinda like it. If they go this route I will try the game (probably on ps3) and if I like it, cool. If not, then I'll start to complain about it.

Everything I say about FFXI is pre WoW influence (ToAU). This thread has went from ARR to 1.0 and now to FFXI. Amazing.
Your argument was that FFXI was a WoW clone because "Paladins could heal and do damage in FFXI." I pointed out that it was insignifiant damage. What did I change the goal to? It's the same argument. I never said FFXI was a WoW clone and I don't know why you are brining it up. The classes in FFXI and FFXIV are completely different. I have no clue why you are brining up FFXI or 1.0 in a thread devoted to ARR. ARR classes are very comparable to WoW. The roles of classes, damage dealers or otherwise, has everything to do with it.
A DRG/WAR and DRG/SAM are both still ONLY damage dealers. They both can not take damage at all in a party. They both do not heal in a party. A DRG/WHM could only solo and it would be a great struggle for him to solo. Dragoon is one of the more flexible classes in that regard. Almost every other class is even more limited than that. In WoW the different talent tree builds allows for the same class to fulfill different roles in a party or solo. The same class may deal dps, nuke, do crowd control, and be able to take a certain number of hits once they get aggro. In FFXI a blm that go aggro in a big fight would go down in 3 hits. He would not do crowd control. The fact that the BLM subbed WHM would not matter. A different build in WoW would matter in terms of which of the roles the player was performing more of. He would still be performing all of them to some degree. The subjob for the BLM would not change his role at all.
Wow, you have to run to a place before you can teleport to it indefinitely for the rest of your gaming career. Running to these places take 10 minutes tops. You can farm the money to ride an airship in 5 minutes or less. Anima replinishes plenty fast. You said that nothing was handed out in FFXIV. It does not get easier than that.
The developers have said that WoW is having the biggest influemnce on FFXIV. What else is there to know?

not to mention FFXI came out 2 years before WoW :) and FFXIV:AAR is getting its ideas from all the major MMORPGS not just WoW Yoshi states that himself. This thread is pointless. Everything's WoW to a WoW fan Even things like FFXI witch came out before WoW is a copy of WoW .

Well, you can't deny they are drawing inspiration from World of Warcraft, but what I dislike about companies that try to capture the lightning in the bottle of WoW's beastly subscription #'s is Blizzard had a HUGE following before world of warcraft came out, you had Diablo Warcraft and Starcraft; and all 3 of those games are still MASSIVE today; and granted not 100% of the audiences in those games came to world of warcraft but a humongous chunk did. Then you got to think people that were playing other mmo's at the time who were getting burnt out of those respective mmo's, a few I can think of were Everquest, SWG (pre-cu), FFXI and Ultima Online. (I was playing SWG and Ultima at the time WoW came out). The pr was massive for this game; and everybody that was interested in playing the game on their own merits was telling everybody they played these other games about it.. People lined up like animals to play this game; I passed on it because it just looked stupid to me. Granted the tiny crappy graphics of ultima could not stand up to the fully 3-d polygonal graphics of WoW but I was already established in UO and never cared for bulky polygonal shapes and sizes. It was a couple months down the road before I caved in and bought WoW, and only at the request of many turn coats from my previous mmo friends.
For many WoW was the first mmo they tried; alot of that bulk crowd never played UO or heard of Star Wars galaxies and many were in odd parts of the world that were never viewed as a serious market before somebody with the commercial power of Blizard came along and started viewing those remote areas as a serious business potential. For some WoW was just the next best thing, and for others WoW became the standard by which all other games must be held. To me, it was just a bunch of whiny elitists that couldn't stand the thought of not having the absolute best of everything as quickly as possible despite nobody really knowing anything about the game aside from it was steeped in terrible lore and free of alot of micromanaging associated with other MMO's of the time. Despite this, tons flocked to the game, the launch was somewhat of a disaster in the sense of commodity though; not enough games were shipped; log in servers were bogged down with enourmouse queue times (I personally waited on one occassion 1 hour and 47 minutes just to log in with average wait times of 40-47 minutes and keep in mind this was several months after the game launched; and I did visit a friend on occassions and watched him watch a queue screen like a hawk more than a few times prior to my personal purchase of the game. Tichondrius Server) latency and rubber banding of epic proportions and many many crashes to desktop (though these issues were acknowledged and somewhat improved upon on a nearly hourly basis). The game however was unimaginably commerically successful, and there is no disproving that. If you were to take a game though and release it today with some of the same issues that plagued World of Warcrafts' launch and your gameplay was ridden with terrible controls a horrible UI (which that is 1 thing I liked about WoW, but dislike that it is basically copy and pasted ad nauseum by almost every mmo after it. SWG had a nice hotbar system too, but other parts of that game were just so unrefined it was terrible at times), very difficult in game commerce and bland content; you'd be laughed right off the market much like FFXIV was and many other games that adopt either free to play models or just flop all around. It takes a seriously determined group to drag their stuff out of the fire though, and that's what Square Enix is doing and grabbing inspiration from successful mmo's particularly WoW.
One of the most imporant things though is that Blizzard didn't just make an MMO; they were a wildly successful game developer before that time. One could argue that "It's Final Fantasy" or Square Enix, the name is synonomous with RPG. Ok. What people tend to forget is how divided just the base following of Final Fantasy is and how many reject or fail to accept some of the more recent or past Final Fantasy titles. There are those that claim FFIV is the last great Final Fantasy; others will die before giving up convincing you FFXIII is the RPG that surpasses all others and itself will never EVER be surpassed and you're all LAWLWLWALWLAWWL nubs for thiking otherwise XOXOXOXOXOXO <3. Then you got people that thought both of those games sucked ass and hope both previous groups burn in a chemical fire and need to realize Final Fantasy Tactics is the only Final Fantasy game worth anything. Omg, then there's Final Fantasy XI (which I played a crap ton of myself and enjoyed very much until they lurched into Abyssea and even early Abyssea was entertaining for me). But the divisiveness is there and it's almost a harmful infighting that goes on over which Final Fantasy rules supreme over them all. Another issue is how many of these people were recommending this game to eachother through all this infighting? Not many.. and those that did pick the game up saw the game was terribly executed and poorly managed with bad mistake after mistake made during development stages. This is not even to mention the near racist stance players from different nationalities have towards eachother in this game. Granted I skipped on buying this hunk of hot mess when it came out; but I talked to a few that bought it and they mention this particular aspect more often than other issues that I have mentioned. Granted people who challenge developers or eachother are a boon beyond compare when it comes to designing a game, I think the level it has reached with Final Fantasy has also become it's bane.
Moving right along, the hope I personally have is that yes they do take a few inspirations from World of Warcraft, namely the ease of accessibility; hoping into parties has almost become the "in thing" for games of a MMO nature. Another aspect they need to not skimp on is the ability to be able to glean meaningful outcomes in a short visit to the game without making grouping obsolete. That crafting isn't just a thing on the side that just tides you over until you get a nice drop from a Notorious monster (no mmo I have ever played does the crafting right anymore.. UO Did.. Keyword.. did I will also add I am not the definitive source of crafting isn't done right or not, but personally from the slew of MMO's I've played and rather deeply I make this judgement.); but neither should be superior to the other or perhaps one method of obtaining top tier items yields certain pieces of armor the other method does not offer such as boots and body armors come from crafting.. gloves and capes come from NM's. Who knows? But stop fucking over crafting, seriously. Another thing I hope they take seriously are the introduction of some of the other Final Fantasy races. I've read that Viera may soon be a possiblity; can we hope to see Bangaa or Seeq? Moogles? (I'd totally be a moogle) And for all that's holy and right, not Moombas from FFVIII.
The races I believe could help bring together people from previous Final Fantasy games that may have not been previously interested in the Final Fantasy MMORPG offerings. Why a Taru Taru? Who thought up Elvaans or Galka? What games did these mother fuckers come from!?! Slide in some other race types; Moogles, Espers, Sasquatch anyone!? Add in a few factions that people are interested in. Magitech Knights (I believe the magitech armor is a mount in game for some people), the Judges in some incarnation or another; or get stupid and introduce the Cult of Kefka (ok maybe not); but draw on your previous inspirations as well as invigorate the genre with new fresh ideas. Don't just shit out things without seriously thinking it through.. there are reasons some ideas and systems are not introduced in mmo's and why lots of those ideas that are brought into the market fall flat on their face in execution. I could go on and on; just like most people who have hopes and dreams for this game to be successful can and do; but I hope they don't overlook the real reasons why WoW is as popular as it is (which literally has very little to do with WoW itself).

Perhaps tomorrow will be better.
I have no idea where that came from because i have been an avid FF gamer for many years and i have never heard that kind of comment before.The only game that truly copied EQ about 90% so, was Wow not FFXi.
This statement is actually in the PRESENT not in the past as they have definitely tried to take some WOw ideas and put them into both FFXI and FFXIV.
In FFXI the dailies were redesgined as book burns and in FFXIV they were redesigned as Leves and imo LEves are even worse because you can warp right to the quest and back upon completion.
The original FFXI was 99% all Tanaka ,he made the decisions and the design was his aside from the musical score and of course some sounds,textures ect ,the things the director would not be too involved in.
Yoshida making the claim of copying WOW is shown absolutely nowhere in the original FFXI as it is truly the one of a kind RPG that is different from the status quo that is EQ.
FFXI used NO markers anywhere in game,all other games do.FFXI gives no xp for quests,all other games do,that alone shows it was NOT an EQ clone.It is only recently that Square Enix has lost it's marbles on game design.They even began to copy other developers in releasing unfinishjed content,it really pissed me off watching the greatest developer go south with the rest.
Square Enix began to go downhill during the Wings of Goddess xpac,there was some potential there but also some lazy cheap work.
I am looking outside North America for the next best game.Jake Song will give us a decent effort but still not the game i am looking for.I want to see another effort that early FFXI showed me,a game that does not copy everyone else.
To show hoe clueless Square Enix is,their Abyssea idea was an absolute terrible decision ,yet the yhave continued to follow that route and are abotu to release another Abyssea xpac.Cheap lazy effert just rehashing the same idea for 4 straight xpacs now.

Ah, sounds like you don't like things that are popular mostly due to its popularity.
You've failed to convince anyone that this is a "WoW clone" and you've also failed to convince anyone that being a "WoW clone" is utterly fail.
You give exmaples like "Wow has hybrids" Whats a Scholar in FFXI? Whats a Warrior? It can tank AND DPS. Whats a Monk? Same thing.
EQ had hybrids. FFXI and Wow were both influenced by EQ.
WoW did not invent hybridization. Nor does hybrid character roles ruin mmos.
We get it, you are unhappy. I think this has gone on long enough.
Edit: Wizardry its a well known fact FFXI was based around EQ. Very well known fact.

One of the largest philanthropic events in Charleston will be taking place this Saturday, March 23 at Cannon Park in honor of World Water Day. Now in its seventh year, Water Missions International's Walk for Water invites participants to carry water buckets along a three-mile route, in order to symbolize and experience the daily trek millions of women and children in developing countries make to collect water.
In 2012, more than 2,600 people from throughout the country participated in the Walk for Water, raising over $210,000 for safe water projects worldwide. This year, Water Missions International has set a goal to raise $250,000. With this amount of money, tens of thousands of people currently lacking safe water and sanitation would be provided access for the very first time.
"We are encouraged by the number of community members registered for the Walk for Water this Saturday, and we hope that even more will be able to join us," said Brittany Fogle, special events coordinator for Water Missions International. "The Walk for Water is an eye-opening experience to the reality facing almost 1 billion people every day – lack of safe water. This event invites people here in Charleston to be part of the solution."
During the event, participants will carry buckets that they will fill up with dirty water halfway through the walk. At the conclusion of the walk, the dirty water will then be filtered through Water Missions International's solar-powered Living Water Treatment System, the primary solution used to provide access to safe water in developing nations.
Following the walk, community members are also invited to stay in Cannon Park for family-friendly activities including food, vendors, games and music by Plain Jane. A portion of many vendor proceeds will go back to support Water Missions International.
Established by the United Nations in 1992, World Water Day is held annually on March 22 as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources. Additionally, South Carolina recognizes March 22 as World Water Day and encourages constituents to help ensure that all individuals have equitable and affordable access to this basic resource necessary for life.

Playing all the hits: "Never Knew Love Like this Before", "Home", & "What Cha' Gonna Do With My Lovin'"
Father's Day Weekend!
THU, FRI, SAT 8pm $60
SUN 3pm $60
Over the span of a 25 year illustrious career, Stephanie Mills has distinguished herself as an actress and performer who is as at home on the Broadway stage as she is in the recording studio. Hit records such as "I Have Learned To Respect The Power Of Love," "Home" and "Whatcha Gonna Do With My Lovin?" have become enduring classics. Stephanie's critically acclaimed appearances in shows like the four-time Tony Award-winning "The Wiz" and "Your Arms Too Short To Box With God" has assured her of a consistently loyal following among fans, industry insiders and critics alike. The loyalty that she has inspired in her audience has seen her through a twenty-five year career filled with accomplishments and achievements. Stephanie's journey as an enduring performer began like that of so many of her contemporaries; singing gospel in church in her native Brooklyn.
Her vocal abilities became evident early on and by the age of nine, she was mesmerizing crowds in her first Broadway musical "Maggie Flynn," sharing the stage with co-stars Shirley Jones and the late Jack Cassidy. Other early credits included appearances in such pop culture classic, shows like "Captain Kangaroo," "Wonderama," "The Electric Company" and "String" (presented by the Negro Ensemble Company in New York City). For six consecutive weeks, an eleven-year old Stephanie won the famous Amateur Night at the renowned Apollo Theater and a first recording; "I Knew It Was Love" landed her the much-coveted role of Dorothy in the Broadway musical "The Wiz" at the age of fifteen. For five years, Stephanie wowed packed houses with her amazing vocal gift and after making albums for ABC and Motown, she signed with 20th Century Records in 1979.
Working with producers James Mtume & Reggie Lucas, Stephanie recorded "Whatcha Gonna Do With My Lovin'?" and by 1984, she had climbed the charts with major hits: "Sweet Sensation," "Never Knew Love Like This Before" (a gold single), "Two Hearts" (a duet with Teddy Pendergrass), "Keep Away Girls," "How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore?" and "The Medicine Song." Stephanie scored three best-selling albums in a row with "Whatcha Gonna Do With My Lovin?", "Sweet Sensation" and "Stephanie" in the span of just two years. The '80s were a golden period for the petite vocalist: signed to MCA Records, Stephanie was responsible for a string of hit singles and albums. "I Have Learned To Respect The Power of Love"
(1986), "I Feel Good All Over" and "(You're Puttin') A Rush On Me" (both from 1987), "Something In The Way (You Make Me Feel)" and "Home" (both 1990 recordings) all topped the R&B charts. The 1987 album "If I Were Your Woman" was No. 1 on the R&B Albums chart and was a Top 30 pop best-seller; while the 1989 album "Home" was also a Top 5 R&B and Top 100 charted LP.
Returning to the stage, Stephanie toured the country in the early '90s with "The Wiz" and during the past decade, she has appeared in a number of highly-acclaimed roles in such shows as "Your Arms Too Short With Box" (starring with Teddy Pendergrass), "Children Of Eden," "Ragtime," "Play On" (a tribute to Duke Ellington's music), "His Woman, His Wife" and "Black Nativity." The recipient of NAACP Image Awards, Stephanie's multi-faceted career has also included recurring roles in popular television soap operas "Search For Tomorrow" and "One Life To Live." In 1994, Stephanie returned to her gospel roots with "Personal Inspirations," an album that won praise with both gospel and secular audiences, netting her "Stellar Award" and "Dove Award" nominations. Stephanie marked a return to recording in 1999 with the dance music cut "Latin Lover," produced by Masters At Work and in 2000; she did a duet with BeBe Winans for his Motown album "Love And Freedom." Stephanie's music has frequently been sampled during the last few years and in 2001, she was a special guest on rapper DMX's "The Great Depression" album, reprising the vocals from her first 1979 hit "Whatcha Gonna Do With My Lovin?" for the track "When I'm Nothing." Following a dazzling performance at comedian Sinbad's Soul Festival in Aruba, Stephanie began touring again in 2001 and has been wowing audiences on shows with artists like The O'Jays, Teddy Pendergrass, The Isley Brothers, Carl Thomas and at festivals that have included Mary
J. Blige, India.Arie, Alicia Keys, Babyface and Smokey Robinson.
She says, "It's been wonderful being back onstage and singing songs from all parts of my career. So many people have asked me when I would have a new record out and I would just say "soon." I was surprised because, so many times, people forget about you if you don't have a new release! But then after the birth of my son Farad last year, I felt revitalized. I felt like singing and performing again". "I think I'm more creative musically and when I do a lot of my material now, I can relate to it more than ever. The experiences in life make you sing differently. And," she adds, "One of the results of having my child has been that it's definitely made my voice stronger. I can sing higher and hold notes longer!" Look for Stephanie Mills to make another mark in her wonderful career as fans begin to discover the creative energy and soulful singing that is a mainstay of her voice and more so than ever on Born for This!

Chael would definitely fight a lion as long as it's sanctioned and there's someone there to pull the lion off as soon as he tapped out.
Cormier vs Chael would be hilarious to watch.
No way in hell he takes Cormier down, and I'm pretty sure Chael has never outstruck anyone....ever.
But he's likely going to retire after Jones smashes him anyways, so this is all very hypothetical.

TTC Myths and Wives Tales
The Trying Part of Trying
If you've ever uttered the words "we're trying," chances are you've found yourself inundated with conception advice ranging from the scientific to the superstitious. It can be tempting to believe all of it. After all, when you're trying to conceive so many things are out of your control—your life may be about to change in a major way at any moment, and yet you don't get to decide exactly how or when. Unless, that is, you believe in these old wives' tales, which claim you can control when you conceive and even whether you'll have a boy or a girl. Here are some of the most common, compelling, and downright crazy TTC myths.
Position Parables
Conception voodoo seems to sort itself out into a couple of main categories. First, there are the position myths. Some say you should do headstands after sex, or, even more romantically, the upside-down bicycle. Others recommend the seemingly opposite though no less athletic technique of having sex while standing up. Preferably in a closet. During the full moon.
Then there are the gender-specific position suggestions. If you're dreaming of a little girl, it's as easy as seducing your husband into having sex in the missionary position with shallow penetration in the afternoon during a full moon, and having an orgasm before he does. Oh, and make sure to stay calm and cool, as that's said to increase your chances of conceiving a girl.
If, on the other hand, you're trying for a boy, you will want to first warm up your husband's testicles (gently, one assumes) before having intercourse "doggy style," with your head pointing north as your husband climaxes first. Afterwards, stay on your back and sleep to the left of your husband.
The Outside World
Positions aside, there are also the old wives' tales that take into account completely external factors. According to some, you shouldn't sweep under the bed if you're trying to get pregnant. And since sex during the day with the lights on and the windows open, despite entertaining your neighbors, is said to prevent a baby, couples trying to conceive should consider a bit more discretion. While you're at it, you might as well also go on a cruise, plant a rosemary bush, give a gift of silverware, have Mistletoe in the house, and/or rub a pregnant woman's belly. But please, ask her first.
You Are What You Eat
Then of course there are the dietary intake fables. Allegedly, eating red meat and salty snacks like pretzels, pickles, and processed foods will lead to a boy, while fish, vegetables, and chocolate will net you a girl. By this logic, a chocolate-covered pretzel or surf-n-turf platter will undoubtedly cause fraternal twins, so by all means, watch what you eat!
But while these food tips may seem among the most ridiculous, they might in fact be scientifically sound. A recent study linked higher energy intake at the time of conception to the birth of sons. The study suggests that the number of boy babies is in decline in developed countries as a result of low-fat diets and women skipping breakfast. In other words, women who eat more calories, a higher range of nutrients, and yes, perhaps more meat and salty snacks, are slightly more likely to have sons. And who knows, maybe some day more of these so-called old wives' tales will also be proven true.
In Conclusion
What's the lesson here? Since one thing we do know is that stress can impede conception, try not worry too much about things like planting bushes or rubbing bellies. Instead, eat nutritiously, take your prenatal vitamins, and enjoy yourself.
Ready to have a baby? Experts agree that determining when you're ovulating is the single most important factor in getting pregnant quickly. But with so many methods out there — from charting your basal body temperature to using an ovulation predictor kit — where does a woman start?
The general rule of thumb is that women ovulate 14 days before their next period. A normal menstrual cycle will last between 23 and 35 days. (If your cycles are shorter or longer than the normal range, you might want to consult an expert.) But because a woman's body varies from month to month, few women have the exact same number of days in every cycle. And because sperm can live for two to three days after intercourse and the egg can survive for only 12 to 24 hours after ovulation, the optimal time to have intercourse is one to three days before ovulation. So here's the tricky part: How can you predict ovulation if your cycle changes every month?
Here's a breakdown of the most popular free and over-the-counter methods available to help you predict ovulation. Not every method works for every woman, so you might want to try a few to see which one is best for you.
Charting Basal Body Temperature (BBT)
A woman's body temperature drops slightly at the time of her luteinizing hormone (LH) rise, and then goes up significantly. This elevation in temperature indicates that ovulation has occurred. To chart your BBT, you need a basal body thermometer, available at most drugstores for $10 to $13, and a chart of some sort to track your temperature readings. You must take your temperature first thing every morning, before getting out of bed. You're looking for a slight drop or, more likely, a significant rise. Charting your BBT over a period of a few months will enable you to learn about your cycle so that you're aware of when you're ovulating in subsequent months.
Pros: It's inexpensive and can help women learn about their bodies and their cycle lengths.
Cons: It's hard for many women to remember to take their temperature every morning, and with this method, it's more likely you'll determine when ovulation has already occurred, which is not as useful in terms of getting pregnant.
Checking Cervical Mucus (CM)
As the estrogen level rises in the first half of your cycle, your mucus changes from sticky to creamy to a thin, watery, stretchy consistency. Ovulation occurs when copious amounts of this thin, stretchy discharge is present. To use this method, you simply check your mucus in the morning, or throughout the day, to determine the thickness and texture. Once you detect this watery CM, you should have sex every day, or every other day, until the slippery CM dissipates.
Pros: It's absolutely free, and it's a good indicator of when you're about to ovulate.
Cons: According to Christopher Williams, MD, author of The Fastest Way to Get Pregnant Naturally, the change in your mucus can last up to a week, and "it's a gross overgeneralization to say that all women have the same type of mucus."
Ovulation Predictor
Kits (OPKs)
OPKs use special chemicals to recognize a surge of LH in your urine, indicating that ovulation will occur in about 24 to 36 hours. The kits, found in most drugstores, cost between $25 and $30. You simply follow the directions on the package and have intercourse on the day of the surge and the day after.
Pros: They're relatively easy to use and fairly accurate.
Cons: They don't work for everyone. According to Ricardo Azziz, MD, MPH, MBA, chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, 10 percent of women will have a false-positive test and 10 to 20 percent of women will get a false negative.
BBT (Basal Body Temp) Basics
What is basal body temperature? Basal body temperature (BBT) is the temperature of your body at rest.
Why would you measure your BBT? BBT charting is a useful tool for couples trying to conceive because of its ability to confirm ovulation. BBT charting also helps the couple understand more fully the physiological processes surrounding ovulation. Not all women ovulate 14 days before their next period. In fact, for many women, the time between ovulation and their period (called the luteal phase) is shorter. A woman needs to have at least 10 days in this phase in order to allow enough time for the fertilized egg to reach the uterus and implant. If it is less, she will need to resolve the short luteal phase if she desires to maintain a pregnancy.
Is BBT charting enough? No. Charting temperatures will only tell you when ovulation has already occurred. Since an egg can only live about 12 to 24 hours, by the time your temperatures rise a day or two after ovulation, the egg will already be gone. So when charting your fertility signs in order to time intercourse, it is most useful to chart your cervical fluid to determine when you are in your most fertile phase.
How do you take your BBT? Your BBT is taken orally with a special BBT thermometer. This type of thermometer is graduated in easy-to-read one-tenth degree increments. Your temperature must be taken before any activity, first thing in the morning, after at least three hours of consecutive sleep. The thermometer must be shaken down the night before, because even this activity can raise your temperature -- and you are looking for as little as two-tenths of a degree of difference. Be sure to read the instructions that come with the thermometer. They are usually very complete.
What BBT changes can you expect during your cycle? Your BBT is lower during the first two weeks of the menstrual cycle, prior to ovulation. The presence of the hormone estrogen keeps the BBT low. Typically it will range from 97.0 to 97.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Immediately following ovulation, progesterone "turns up the heat" a bit, and there is typically a rise of at least 0.4 to 0.6 degrees until the time of your next menstrual period. This temperature rise will let you know that ovulation has occurred.
How can you chart your BBT? Using either a notebook or graph paper, start recording on day one of your menstrual cycle -- the first day of your period. For each day, record your temperature, any reason for a variation in temperature (if applicable), if you made love that day, and if you were menstruating. This charting will not only be invaluable to you but will provide your health care provider with important information in helping you achieve your fertility goals -- of achieving or avoiding pregnancy.
What factors can affect your BBT? Your temperature can be affected if you didn't get a good night's sleep, if you didn't have at least three hours of consecutive sleep after making love, if you have a fever or if you had an alcholic drink the night before.
How reliable are the results? The Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) is highly effective in achieving and preventing a pregnancy when used correctly. The more data you have, the more accurate your method will be. It is really best to chart your other two fertility signs, cervical fluid and cervical position, as well as chart your temperature. There are factors that can affect temperatures, but the trick is to learn how to see the forest through the trees and identify a pattern of lows and highs before and after ovulation, rather than focusing on any one particular temperature.
Can you detect pregnancy by BBT changes?Yes. If your BBT remains elevated even past the time that your menstrual period is due, it could be a very early indicator of pregnancy. When you conceive, the egg is fertilized in the fallopian tube, after which it takes about a week to travel to the uterus, where it will implant. It is at this time that your body is finally able to detect that you are pregnant. When hCG is released, women often experience a third temperature rise, not as dramatic as the first, but can usually be seen anywhere from about a week to 12 days after the first temperature rise.
Can falling BBT predict a miscarriage? Waking temperatures are very useful if you continue to take them during the first trimester. Most miscarriages occur during this time and waking temperatures typically start dropping below the coverline as a warning of an impending miscarriage. You can usually tell that you have had a miscarriage, even if your pregnancy was never confirmed by a pregnancy test. You may have had 18 or more high temperatures, followed by what appears to be either a normal or heavier period.
Eating For Fertility
Food and love have been bedfellows for centuries. But can what you eat affect your ability to conceive? Ages before there was much understanding about the chemical or nutritional content of food, folks were making connections between food and fertility, attributing such qualities as shape (e.g. foods in the shape of sexual organs such as onions, oysters and figs) or the food's ability to make your temperature rise (e.g. chili peppers or curry) to increased potency or fertility. But can your diet really affect your ability to conceive?
Yes, both positively and negatively. Overly strict dieting that results in severe weight loss can disrupt ovulation in women or reduce sperm formation in men. Too much eating resulting in obesity may also negatively affect fertility. Scientific evidence supports only one specific food that may enhance fertility, and that's the oyster. The reason is not due to any magical powers, but rather to its abundant amount of zinc. Adequate zinc is critical for maintaining optimum semen volume and blood testosterone levels in men. Researchers at King Saud University in Saudi Arabia have found supplemental vitamin E to dramatically improve sperm mobility and viability. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin suggest that consuming 1,000 mg. of calcium and 10 mcg. of vitamin D each day may improve men's fertility.
On the other hand, for women, even small amounts of alcohol may interfere with fertility. Drinking alcohol in any amount reduced conception by up to 50 percent. Drinking more than one cup of coffee a day also seems to have a small negative effect on fertility for women, but may increase sperm motility in men if drunk before making love, so make yours decaf and his espresso. For men and women to optimize their chance of conception, a nutrient-packed diet that supports a healthy weight along with a multivitamin supplement with 100 percent of the recommended daily intakes is best. Men should be sure to get adequate zinc and vitamin E.
In recent years there has been a lot of buzz, both positive and negative, about soy and it's relation to fertility. Tofu and soy are excellent sources of protein during pregnancy. Soy foods contain plant-derived estrogen, known as phytoestrogens. These come in different forms and have different effects. Some may function similarly to estrogens in the body, producing a very weak effect compared to the real thing. And others act as antiestrogens, to reduce the activity of estrogen. Evidence is growing that these phytoestrogens may help with menopausal symptoms, as well as inhibit cancer cell growth. But, a few studies suggest that high levels of soy protein may decrease fertility. These studies tended to look at soy consumption levels that are much higher than most people normally consume. From the reports available, it seems logical to conclude that normal intake of soy proteins will not adversely affect your chances of becoming pregnant or maintaining a pregnancy. But, consuming large quantities of soy products is not recommended.

A 17-yard return of a blocked punt by K.T. McCollin capped a 16-0 Oxford run to answer an early Jackson Prep touchdown in the first quarter and the homestanding Chargers held on from there to post a 32-20 victory in the public school-private school contest Friday night.
Two sophomores played a key role for Oxford in its victory over the defending MAIS Class AAA state champion Patriots. Quarterback Jack Abraham connected on 20 of 30 passes for 242 yards, including touchdown passes on Oxford's first and last possessions of the game. Wideout/defensive back D.K. Metcalf, who hauled in an 18-yard TD pass from Abraham with 1:52 left to clinch the victory, finished the night with six receptions for 133 yards along with blocking the punt McCollin returned and recovering a muffed punt by Prep to set up another score.
Jarius Barnes added a rushing touchdown for Oxford, while Cody Mills kicked 28 and 24 yard field goals.
Prep, 13-0 a year ago, got touchdown runs from Ian McGraw and Ty Higginbotham along with a 7-yard TD pass from Gene Wood to Parker Caracci. Wood threw for 168 yards, Caracci totaled five catches for 55 yards and Higginbotham had 14 carries for 80 yards, including a 30-yard scoring run that got the Patriots within five points (25-20) with 5:01 to go.
"This was a big game and a big win," OHS coach Johnny Hill said. "There were a lot of Prep supporters here and a lot of folks for us. There was a lot of excitement in the air.
"It was good to see us handle that early adversity. The blocked point helped with momentum and the offense got a big score at the end," Hill added. "Coach (Ricky) Black and his staff do a great job. We knew they'd play hard for four quarters and they did."
