The last few days I've just felt "off" and tired. I dug out the BP monitor I used during my last pregnancy 7 years ago, and have been taking my BP. It's definately higher than it should be. At my appt. a week and a half ago, it was 120/70, which is normal for me non-pregnant, but just now it was 141/91 and it has been running around that, with sometimes the top number being higher (up to 155). I haven't call the dr. yet, as I have an appt. on Friday and I don't know what they would really do at this point (I am about 8 weeks along) besides say to rest, which I am doing. My BP with my 2nd pregnancy really never got high except mildly a few times at the end, after severe PE with my first pregnancy. I took my BP when I was lying on my left side, and it was about 125/70 then, so I know that's what I need to do---stay lying down. But I just feel it will be IMPOSSIBLE to do that long term. I have a 9 and 6 year old, my husband can't take extended time off from work without severe financial implications, and I drive the boys to school twice a day...I know I will do what I have to do, but I am so scared and probably projecting too much at this point. Just wanted to vent to women that understand---thanks for listening!

'Worst Promo Ever': Web series brings together wrestling and comedyWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | email@example.com
In the world of wrestling, the bit where an announcer interviews a wrestler about something — an upcoming match, his current feud with another wrestler — is called a "promo." The goal of every promo is to give those watching a reason to care about what's happening, and hopefully spend their money to see that wrestler the next time he's in town, on pay-per-view, or whatever.
Of course, some wrestlers are better than others at connecting to an audience while they're talking. And when a performer is bad at cutting a promo — it can be painful. And hilarious.
That's the basic idea behind "Worst Promo Ever," a new comedy Web series produced by wrestler Colt Cabana and Chicago comic Marty DeRosa. Posted every Monday, each episode features Cabana portraying a clueless grappler who can't help but give horrible, vague and nonsensical interviews, and DeRosa as the hapless announcer trying to guide him.
The duo have worked on several projects during the past few years to bring the worlds of comedy and wrestling together — a balance Cabana himself has mastered as an in-ring performer everywhere from Ring of Honor to CHIKARA to a stint in WWE as Smackdown wrestler Scotty Goldman.
"When I got fired from WWE, a great opportunity came about for me to do 20 minutes of stand-up comedy before Mick Foley. It was both Mick and I's first time. It went really well and we started touring a little bit," Cabana said in an interview with Toledo Free Press Star.
Cabana was contacted by DeRosa, a lifelong wrestling fan who had seen him perform numerous times on the independent scene. "He was in some of our local magazines and stuff, and I wrote him and said, 'Hey, if you ever want to do anything, as far as wrestling and comedy goes,'" DeRosa said. "And we kinda hit it off, and we've been doing a million things since then."
The pair first united for a "Mystery Science Theater 3000"-esque project called "$5 Wrestling," where they would improvise humorous commentary over bad matches. "I really wanted to involve comedians instead of another wrestler," Cabana said. "The idea was to have myself and a different comedian every series. Marty was my first choice for Volume 1. We had such great chemistry that we stuck with that team for all of them and the rest is history!"
The duo then put together a series of short videos called "Creative Has Nothing for You," which mocked the relationship between writers and the wrestlers they write for. "I think we were both kind of aware of what works comedically on YouTube and what doesn't," DeRosa said. "And you can't have some kind of six-minute video; people are not going to tune in."
But the pressures of writing, filming and editing a full series like "Creative" proved a considerable burden, not to mention finding a place to film on a regular basis. These difficulties led to the creation of "Worst Promo Ever" — not only is the new series completely improvised on the fly, but the show's plain green backdrop means it can basically be filmed anywhere.
"I come with a list of my upcoming shows," Cabana said. "I have the date, the location, the promotion and my opponent. That's all the information we start with. That would kind of be like an improv group asking for a 'suggestion'.
"From there we just mess around for about 10 to 20 minutes. From there I upload everything to my computer and start chopping it down to a two-minute promo. Editing is fun for me because not only can you find comedy in what we are saying, but there's also a lot of comedy in the editing choices you make. It's a fun creative process."
The show's production schedule not only means more creative freedom for DeRosa and Cabana, but also more room for potential guest stars — like a recent appearance by WWE star (and longtime Cabana friend) CM Punk.
"He obviously is down to help, whenever," DeRosa said. "And he was just sitting around while we were filming, and he was like, 'Well, I wanna be in it.'
"The thing with 'Creative' was, it would have been harder to get people scheduled when we would film it — it was hard enough for us to do it, to sort of secure the office and all that stuff. And we don't have a studio or anything like that — it's sort of guerrilla style."
But no matter what form the pair's work has taken, Cabana said he's proud of how they have brought two different universes of pop culture together.
"Each one shows a different side to our humor and attitude. I can't pick just one. I'd recommend all of 'em to anyone looking for some humor in wrestling. The thing I'm most proud of is you don't have to be a die-hard wrestling fan or an 'insider' to enjoy any of these projects."

Republicans have enjoyed themselves immensely during the Affordable Care Act's bungled rollout, but most of the claims they're making are preposterous
and phony. Since anyone able to take a longer view knows we'll one day be well past Obamacare's self-inflicted wounds, I'd like as a public service to catalog the GOP's shabbiest arguments, so we'll all have a handy reference once the worm fully turns.
The Affordable Care Act is popular here. Florida has the
second-highest rate of signups in the nation--only behind California. This is freaking amazing, considering that Rick Scott, the legislature, and our attorney general are working as hard as they can to make it as difficult as possible. People in this state are getting healthcare who never had it before.
The benefits of ACA for seniors are real: A $250M investment to fight fraud, the requirement that insurance companies offer free preventive care (like colorectal cancer) and the fact that the ACA finally CLOSES the medication donut hole!
After years of negative speculation on the part of the opponents of
Obamacare, hard data is finally coming in with respect to the anticipated
negative side-effects of the law.
While most all would agree that there are some repairs that need to be made to the Affordable Care Act, workable fixes designed to benefit the public and improve American healthcare cannot happen so long as politicians, pundits and special interests are devoted to lying about what Obamacare means and what it does not mean to the American public.
The results are guaranteed to both surprise and depress those who have built their narrative around the effort to destroy the Affordable Care Act.
Never before in American history have we seen a political party so completely dominated and controlled by its extremist wing; and never before have we seen a political party that brings together the attributes of nihilism, heartlessness, radicalism and naked partisanship quite like the modern GOP. In a two-party system like America's, the result is unprecedented dysfunction.
Kids locked up in nursing homes. Leaky sewers. Mosquitoes unleashed. The Sunshine State has buyer's remorse. Florida is where the rhetoric becomes the reality. It's kind of the tea party on steroids. Support for Scott and the GOP is plummeting as Floridians see anti-government governance at work. But it may be too late for buyer's remorse. After two years at the helm, the tea party's legacy is likely to far outlast the movement. More
President Obama has announced his plan to better protect our children and our communities by reducing gun violence in America.
Take a look at the President's plan to reduce gun violence, and stand with him in support:
Stand With The President
What can be said without equivocation is that Obama has proven himself morally, intellectually, temperamentally, and strategically. In our lifetime, or our parents', he is easily the best president. On his own terms, and not merely as a contrast to an unacceptable alternative, he overwhelmingly deserves reelection... This is Why
Unions make the middle class strong by ensuring workers have a strong voice in both the market and in our democracy.
But as unions became weaker over the past four decades, they are less and less able to perform these functions–and the middle class withered.
When unions are strong they are able to ensure that workers are paid fair wages, receive the training they need to advance to the middle class, and are considered in corporate decision-making processes. Unions also promote political participation among all Americans, and help workers secure government policies that support the middle class, such as Social Security, family leave, and the minimum wage.

Training away from home (Holiday workout)
Staying at the gf's parent's for three days, and with relatives for two or three more, generally wreaks havoc on my body. I don't care for sweets, but the holidays have lots of eggnog and delicious meats and cheeses and so on, so I tend to get soft. This year I am trying the following, crammed in before a shower and somewhere generally away from inquisitive "in-laws." My workout is generally based on my judo club's warmup, plus extra reps, so ends up being bodyweight.
Pushups - 50
Crunches - 50
Situps - 50
Judo pushups (divebombers?) - 20 or 30
Bodyweight squats - 20 or more
Calf raises off the stairs - 50 which was way too many for my wimpy calves.
Bridges - 20ish
Kata - one or more, Seisan today.
Seals - 50
Bicyclers for 30s - 1min
If I really wanted to keep in shape, I'd pack running shorts and do a half hour, and all this would be gravy. But whatever, it's the holidays and I don't usually run anyway.
Most of this is in the pursuit of getting through the class warmup easily, and keeping some level of preparation for Sturret (judo tourney in mid-Jan).
Post your holiday-not-go-flabby plans here, or make fun of mine. Merry Christmas and shalom and all that!

The city gym said they were open on "statutory holidays", which apparently does not include Christmas Day. I'm hoping it does include Boxing Day, in which case I'll probably just keep going with the 3x/week variation of WS4SB. Might try to get a more recent mile time for this thread... maybe not.
Edit: And yeah, there's a late-January tournament in my future too, so I need to stay within spitting distance of 100kg.

Style: Muay Thai--
I've been doing a run of about 30-45 minutes (or something, I never really time it) each day. My route takes me up two flights of steep stairs, and there's a park halfway where I sometimes stop to do push-ups, sit-ups, burpees, dips, etc. I only do about 25 of each, but it's more maintenance so those things don't totally kick my ass when I go back to regular training, and it makes the second half of the run ten times harder.
A few days ago, I did this workout (minus the pull-ups, as I have neither the facilities nor the strength for it, but plus 5 rounds of skipping). It took several days of incredible pain to recover from the squats, bootstrappers and lunges, but I'm ready to do it all again tomorrow. Then I think I'll do it every second day. Not sure if I will also run on those days.

This is my Dad. He is, of course, awesome in his own right. Being my Dad just happens to add kudos. So say I.
In addition to being an awesome Dad (and latterly Santa Claus lookalike), my Dad held one particularly special qualification when I was a child. He worked at the Cadbury's Chocolate Factory in Bournville, Birmingham. Oh. Yeaaaahhh.
This is a factory steeped in history, and part of the heritage of not only my family, but of the social history of the UK. Founded almost 200 years ago it has endured wars, rationing, and forged a path during the Industrial Revolution of the 19th Century.
We lived pretty close to Bournville, and could clearly smell the chocolate on a day with a light breeze. It certainly made the corn flakes taste better before school.
To be perfectly honest, every day was a chocaholic's dream, since being a lifelong employee at a chocolate factory did not come without staff perks (mainly in the form of large bags of misshapen Milk Tray caramels, Crunchie pieces and unwrapped Creme Eggs. What's not to love?)
Amidst this sugary Shangri-La, Easter Sunday had to work hard to stand out, and there were more than a few forced smiles and "Oh thanks, chocolate!" s over the years. But Dad never disappointed. The Easter bonus usually looked like this. A mug with an egg. It is now a kind of trophy which represents my chocolatey childhood.
Dad took early retirement from Cadbury's many years ago. Tuh. Not to worry, when we couldn't rely on our old Dad any more, there was an Aunty with a Cadbury's Staff ID card lurking in the shadows…….
What were the Easters of your childhood like?
BTW, not a single person has offered me even a morsel of chocolate to write this post. Bloody shocking. That is how loyal a Cadbury girl and how unresourceful a Blogger I am. More tales of Easter from proper Bloggers, at Tara's Sticky Fingers Blog…

Close Up on a Classic – The Clackers!

If I asked you to picture an animal shelter in your head, you would likely conjure up some Sarah McLaughlin induced images of paint-chipped concrete, rusty chain-link and puppies cowering in the corners. The porous cement brings a certain stench to mind that no amount of Febreeze can hide, and an incessant barking prevails.
This was the SPCA's former shelter on Wire Road and is representative of many throughout the country. At the old facility, children would clasp their hands over their ears and pinch their noses shut, the exciting prospect of a new pet overshadowed by sensory overload.
Fortunately, this is no longer the case for the SPCA. We are grateful to have a shelter that is attractive and a breath of fresh air. Its music to our ears. It's easy to see why the SPCA is becoming a destination for day visits, as well as for those that are on a mission for neuter services, vaccines, or adoption.
The facility is a work of art, a contemporary construction that emphasizes our safe and clean environment. Beauty may be skin deep, but once inside, visitors are greeted warmly by a personable staff, hoards of friendly volunteers, the smell of citrus groves, and music meant for massage.
Wait. What? Music? Aromatherapy? In an Animal Shelter? Yes.
This sounds like some sales pitch for a vacation getaway, doesn't it? The irony is this: as appealing as it sounds to human guests, all of these improvements were made for the animals.
At the SPCA Albrecht Center, cold concrete has been replaced with non-porous, antibacterial impregnated methymethacrylate surfacing. Each animal room has its own air return, fire sprinkler, windows, and drain ... some rooms even have couches.
Automatic air fresheners dispense a dozen different scents to keep our habitats fresh and dogs engaged and now our Dog Adoption Center has music created especially for them. The Rescue Animal MP3 Project is now in service at the SPCA and it is having an immediate positive influence on humans and dogs alike.
The universal language of music is helping our pet residents cope with their new surroundings and the shelter environment. Studies show that certain music compositions can help pets with common phobias such as thunderstorms, household noises and stress. At the SPCA, we have seen ourselves how this music works powerfully and quickly.
Last week, Our Director of Enrichment and Training, two kennel staffers, and the President watched as the specially composed music began. Prior to turning it on, Vito, our Doberman blend, and Spud, our Chocolate Lab, were acting a bit anxious and occasionally barking. We watched in delightful amazement as they stopped, pricked their ears, listened, then quietly laid down on their beds. We couldn't believe it. It worked exactly the way the creators of this project showed us it would.
In the words of Rescue Animal Mp3 Project founder Pamela Fisher, DVM, "The extensive variety of music in this compilation provides soothing vibrational therapy to help relax the animals and enable potential adopters to see the pets' more natural and loving personalities." At the SPCA we have found this to be true along with the secondary benefit of influencing visitors and staff, too. After all, our energy level is sensed by an animal. If we feel calm, they will feel that.
So please come by the SPCA Albrecht Center to see, hear, and enjoy the scents and sensations that make this special shelter for homeless pets a pleasure to visit.
Perhaps you may even find yourself sharing a room with one of our canine residents for a session of reading. Reading? Yes … we even read to our dogs, but that is another story.
Barbara Nelson is president and CEO of the SPCA Albrecht Center for Animal Welfare.

This is strange. Google added two new services to the "More" menu: blog search and the newly-released patent search. I don't know how many people are interested in blog search, but adding patent search is an unwise decision.
Maybe Google should let people customize the list.
Update: I went to google.com using another browser, and the homepage didn't have blog search and patent search. That means it's a limited test.

Casino embraces technology, social mediaWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
The marketing team at Hollywood Casino Toledo likes to be ahead of the curve.
Whether it's developing a free user-friendly mobile app, placing QR codes on slot machines so guests can track jackpots, allowing Marquee Rewards members to check their points online or generating a massive pre-opening online buzz, the focus is always on improving guest experience.
"I want people to get knowledge of our casino the simplest way, the most practical way, so they don't have to go out of their way to get information," said 28-year-old Eric Saliba, a multimedia designer with Penn National Gaming. "I always like to be ahead and having something out before everyone else is really cool."
Many casinos have mobile websites, but only a few, including Toledo, have mobile apps, Saliba said.
"[Apps] are more mobile-friendly," he said. "If it's designed for your iPhone or iPad, it's going to be a better experience."
Available for both iPhone and Android, Toledo's app was developed by Saliba in-house and has more than 7,100 downloads so far.
Penn National has expressed interest in replicating the app for its other properties, Saliba said.
"The delivery method of an app is perfect since it's right on their phone and it's always with them," Saliba said. "They really liked this one. It's in talks right now and it sounds like they are going to roll it out companywide."
User commenting is one of the app's most popular features, Saliba said.
"People love the comments. That's definitely No. 1," he said. "They comment on everything. They just like to get their voice heard, so that's really cool."
Users who create a free account within the app can like, comment, upload photos and more, earning points and badges for interacting.
"Right now, it's just a set of accomplishments," Saliba said. "It just encourages them to use our app more, but there's potential for [rewards] in the future."
Another popular feature is the how-to guides for table games, Saliba said.
"If you're not sure how to play a table game you can actually go in and learn how to play, so that's really helpful," Saliba said. "Or if you have a question while you're playing or if the dealer does something, you can look right in the app and make sure."
Many gamblers appreciate being able to browse a list of available games, said Keira Finnegan, advertising and promotions manager.
"Most slot gamers are die-hard for a machine," Finnegan said. "They call us and ask us if we have x, y or z, so this is really helpful."
The app's dining section allows users to make reservations, view menus and hours, browse monthly specials and more.
The entertainment section lists upcoming concerts and events.
"You can actually say you're going to be going and can post photos and share your experiences there, so that's pretty cool," Saliba said.
Also available in the app is a floor map of the casino and hotel and weather information.
QR codes
In mid-October, the casino installed QR codes on about 50 high-limit slot machines.
"It's really cool. You just scan the little code and it shows the recent jackpots — anything more than $200 — won on the machine and the date and time it happened," Saliba said. "We've had that planned since the beginning, but just rolled it out recently. We're just testing it in high-limits right now and gathering feedback and if it seems to work, we'll roll it out on all the games."
Even though slot payouts are random, people are superstitious, Saliba said.
"It lets people judge which machine is hot, which one is a lucky one," he said. "People will say, 'I don't want to sit at this one; it just paid out.' They always want to know and they are always asking the slot attendants so now they actually can scan it and find out when it last paid out."
Saliba said he believes Toledo is the first Penn National casino to install QR codes.
"This is the only one I'm aware of," Saliba said. "You don't see stuff like this popping up in the Detroit casinos. We just want to be on the cutting edge and keep our customers happy."
The structure of the app allows room for future growth as well, including possibly adding geotargeting, a location-based marketing tool, said Marketing Operations Manager John McNamara.
"That's one of the big reasons, when we were looking at mobile vendors, that we picked Mobile Roadie, because they had that geotargeting capability," McNamara said. "For those who opt into receiving notifications, the app will automatically send an alert if you go within a boundary we set, to let people know, 'Hey, you just missed us. Turn around.'"
Marquee Rewards
The casino also recently started allowing its 222,000 Marquee Rewards card members to check their points online or through a link in the app. Previously, points could only be checked at kiosks on the casino floor.
"That will be helpful for people who want to see their points right now," Saliba said.
Unlike points earned within the app, Marquee Rewards points can be redeemed at the casino for food, merchandise, slot play and more.
Creating buzz
The marketing team built a big enough pre-opening buzz that Hollywood Casino Toledo topped Penn National casinos in number of Facebook likes before it even opened, Saliba said.
"We built the excitement really high," Saliba said. "We did that by asking questions and encouraging people to comment and like and share our tweets. We made sure our Facebook was up-to-date way before we opened so people could check in and share, so that helped us a lot. Even the construction workers were checking in."
Finnegan said the team is always trying to raise the bar for guests.
"We hope they gather all our information, all our promos, all our concerts," Finnegan said. "We want guests to be able to have easy access to it since today's world is definitely turning to social media, apps, things of that nature, and we want to be the forefront for Toledo here as a Penn property."

There is also such a thing as initial justification in Catholicism. There is a beginning-point in the salvation process (baptism). We can receive further grace through the sacraments, but there is an initial time, at which regeneration occurs. And it is all by grace in our theology.
He makes a big deal about "wretch." I grant his point insofar as he opposes total depravity, but I think he over-argues again and misses the main point. We are all sinners in need of salvation, who would be damned but for God's grace. Again, we Catholics fully agree on that point; it has to do with original sin.
But I don't see St. Paul saying anything all that different from the use in Amazing Grace of the word "wretch". In fact, Paul even calls himself a "wretched man":
Romans 7:14-25 (RSV) We know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin. [15] I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. [16] Now if I do what I do not want, I agree that the law is good. [17] So then it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me. [18] For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. [19] For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do. [20] Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me. [21] So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. [22] For I delight in the law of God, in my inmost self, [23] but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which dwells in my members. [24] Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? [25] Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I of myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
It's funny; I was looking up Romans 7, thinking it might be applicable here, and happily discovered the phrase "wretched man" in it (as opposed to finding "wretched" by a word search).
Also in Revelation 3:16b-17, Jesus describes the Laodiceans: who were "lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot" (3:16a) -- a prototype of a certain sort of unregenerate sinner -- as follows:
. . . I will spew you out of my mouth. [17] For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing; not knowing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.
Thus, unregenerate sinners are again described as "wretched." That is now twice that the Bible uses the exact same word that appears in Amazing Grace.
For more on the meaning of "wretch", see the Dictionary.com entry.
Moreover, John Newton (1725-1807), whatever his theology (he was, in fact, a Calvinist) could very well have been referring solely or primarily to himself in the lyrics, in using the word "wretch," since it is well-known that he had been involved in the slave trade and had numerous other exceptionally unsavory personal traits (see Wikipedia: "Amazing Grace"). It is commonly thought, anyway, that he had himself in mind.

My 1 year old has not gained any weight in the last 3 months. In fact, he's down a couple ounces from 3 months ago. But he eats well. Up until his 1 yr well baby this week, he was drinking 20-30 oz of formula a day, plus 3 meals and 1-2 snacks... the typical diet for an older infant. His foods have been varied in type. By 9 mo, mostly jarred stage 3 foods, from apples and bananas with cereal to turkey dinner to spaghetti with beef to green beans with rice and of course cheerios. Over the last 2 months, he'll eat some of whatever we eat - pancakes, eggs, raviolis, turkey, mashed potatoes, broccoli, peas, pizza... And this is on top of 20-30 oz of formula!
He started out at 7lbs 14 oz (83%), and is now 19 lbs (6%) at a year old. His height and head circumference have stayed on curve (50% for height, 80% for head). The pediatrician (and me of course!) is concerned about his lack of weight gain. He ordered labs (just loved having his finger milked... not) and is now having me feed him pediasure trying to get him to gain weight, and since he's a year, switching from formula to whole milk - we introduced him to whole milk a month ago so he's doing fine with the switch. We rarely give him juice, so it's not that he's getting empty calories.
Anyone else have issues like this??? Most of the stuff I find talks about kids that don't eat enough or eat the wrong stuff - but he eats more than enough of the right kind of foods. And he doesn't have diarrhea (unless on antibiotics). He is very active and is meeting the developmental milestones... but I can't help but worry.

I would say the itemisation and progression system are Both tes and daoc. Stuff like crafting being important, lateral progression after level cap, just wandering off and finding stuff etc.. are strong concepts in daoc. Both games have a simmilar grimy darkish fantasy setting too. It's some of the reasons the 3 newest tes games remind me strongly of it, especially Morrowind as it uses the same engine. Although I would say ac is the closest mmo to tes.

When people played Skyrim, did they complain that they were locked out of Morrowind, or Cyrodil? I am not sure its thats much different in ESO. Is being aware of another area's existence really that frustrating for you? The alliance areas will each be larger than any ES game thus far. Its not like they are tucking the whole alliance into one corner of one of the ES regions... they are giving us 1+ ES regions per alliance, plus a massive PvP zone. And you can always visit the other alliance areas when you reroll, which provides more content and longevity.
Face it, the developers would never be dumb enough to take the ES franchise and turn it into a pure PvP game. It would turn off the ES fanbase and would be a financial disaster. I think they have done well combining the ES levelling world with a PvP endgame, and hopefully have kep the game's appeal as broad as possible.

Please remember TESO Is not tes6
There will be a tes 6.
TESO is an offshoot into another genre within the tes universe, just like redguard, battlespire and the various iPhone tes games.
Now they could take the sprpg, and add some features to make it a "mmo", but what would you get, you would get a game that is swtor bad. A mmo that plays like a sprpg, but not as good as the sprpg, with a few wow clone grouping features like instanced dungeons and instanced pvp mini games.
It is better they take from daoc than take from wow. You get...
Open dungeons
Meaningfull crafting
Meaningfull and varied pvp
Exploration based pve
No quest hubs
All from daoc. Unfortunately they haven't also took housing from daoc.
Could they have copied from other models.
Sure asherons call would have been a better fit maybe. A fantasy eve would have worked too, but would have scared away the carebears.
But copying bloody wow AGAIN. Or just taking skyrim and ramming in a few semi mmo / cooprpg features would not.

Agreed. I dont understand the other post at all. I dont even think he realized the implication of their post.
ESO is not targeting a single monolithic player type. I mean, I play the ES series but I also play MMOs. So do many other ES players. Its not like they are separate playerbases, there is overlap. There is also overlap between people who like PvP and people who play ES, just like there is overlap between people who like PvE and people who like PvP. Its not like there are a bunch of mutually exclusive groups and its impossible to appeal to more than one.
The big challenge in MMO's these days is to provide an endgame. Look at SWTOR and GW2. Good games but they lose players once the players level up, the games dont provide a lot of reason for many players to keep playing. ESO could have gone the 'PvE raid' route, where the endgame is getting better gear by grinding raid dungeons. Instead they have gone the DAoC route where PvP is the endgame. Personally I like that a lot better. Plus they have not abandoned the PvE/levelling experience like a pure PvP game might. I think thats a pretty sensible combination. Pure PvE players dont have to PvP, they can level up and then re-roll in another alliance. Certainly the existence of a PvP endgame wont chase them away from trying the game and having fun. But that endgame also gives more serious players something to do once they hit max level, and hopefully we will retain a lot more of its players than SWTOR and GW2 seem likely to do.
I said this in another thread, but its impossible to do a pure exploration game as a MMORPG because they simply cant create material as fast as players run through it. Look how long they spent on Skyrim, and how quickly some players ran through the content. That just isnt a sustainable model for a game that wants to keep players beyond a few months. That being said, I do think it should take more than the 120 hours they stated to make max level. I guess thats just a symptom of what WoW has done to MMORPGs, but that is what a large proportion of players will expect and I can see why they arent making it harder core levelling.

As a matter of fact it doesn't make any sense.
in a bizarro world one could ask your question if one bought an all encompassing single player elder scrolls game that had all three factions/areas BUT the player could only pick one to adventure in and the rest of the content would be closed to them.
It's a stretch but there it is.
People didn't compalin about other areas not being there because the scope of skyrim was "skyrim" and those other areas aren't there as playable areas. I say "playable" areas because morrowind seems to be there in land mass.
Your argument doesn't seem to stem from being an elder scrolls player. Or, perhaps better said, I would be surprised if you were.
The scope of ESO is a reasonable representation of the world of the elder scrolls. I say reasonable because there is only so much land mass they can create and add with content.
Elder Scrolls players want to create a character and explore the world of the elder scrolls. I highly doubt any elder scrolls players who were invested in elder scrolls game play/ideology ever said "you know, I'd love to have an elder scrolls online game but man it would really solidify everything if it was like DAoC!"
They probably would be more likely to say "man, I really want an Elder Scrolls game but I want it to have the breadth of Daggerfall (if they go way back) or even Morrowind.
I don't think adding pvp is the issue nor do I think creating factions is the issue (though how those factions are created is a bone of contention for some) but what is the issue is that the world of elderscrolls has been created and one has to make an alt of a completely different race in order to see it.
You want to make your argument more fitting? It's like someone buying Oblvion and having to make an alt of a different race to go to Anvil. And then ask whether or not they complain. If they don't then you are right on the money.

I don't think it's an ideal design decision, but it's not enough to turn me away from a game.

You can't do everything in tes games.
In skyrim you make a choice imperial or nord, you get to change your mind 2nd quest in but after that you're locked to that quest chain. You cant be both a vampire and a dawnguard, you can't be both a werewolf and a vampire. You also have to choose blades or dragon priests. You also will have fun getting in the mages guild if you've pumped all your stats into combat.
In Morrowind you had exclusive choice of 3 houses, joining various guilds put you in opositions to the others, joining the morag tong expelled you from the dark brotherhood etc..
You generally need to make a few characters to do all the quests in tes games. Less so with skyrim, but with Morrowind and oblivion it was common to make 3 chars one if each archetype, then pick factions to join that wouldn't black your oath on other factions.

No. I'm not offending you in any manner, but you misunderstood the other post (by eol).
What he meant is... What will be happening is when you pick a faction, the SCOPE will be your faction. Like... how can I explain this. The SCOPE of skyrim is skyrim... the pve scope of Ebon people will be "Skyrim, Morrowind and Black Marsh". The pve scope of Dagger ppl will be their own lands and the pve scope of elves will be elfland.
Its like, pve wise, your "scope" is your own land, like in TES series. With an extra scope added for PvP. The PvP scope is "kill everything whos name is red, capture their little towers, secure their keeps and kill those damn imperials also.
But since PvE-wise the scope doesnt change, it will be just like any TES game.
you wont be missing cyrodill in TES because it is there, but you will be locked out of any other faction land just like in a TES game only this time PVE wise you'll have something like 3 huge TES games in one. 1 will be Skyrim, Morrowind, Black Marsh, 2 will be Hammerfell, High Rock, Orsinium (dont know bout this one) and 3 Summerset Isle, Vallenwood (not sure) and Elsweyr.
Thats why the above poster said that - since the factions dont meet each other in PvE, he asked "have you missed morrowind in skyrim?" Like... are you going to miss Hammerfell playing a Nord? You didnt in Skyrim so...
People are still having this weird misconception that daoc was like taking a game like say rift then dividing the world in 3.
It wasn't, it was like taking a game like vanilla rift, adding 2 more games like rift, then adding a 4th game like planetside that players from the other 3 could pvp each other in.
People are moaning about getting less pve content, when in fact they are getting more pve content.

I completley understand that argument and you sumarize it well. Whatever faction you choose becomes your "skyrim" as opposed to "morrowind". It's as if one had a choice of multiplayer elder scrolls games , one of skyrim, one of morrowind, etc.
The issue is for elder scrolls players is that they have always been able to go the breadth of the land. Since the entiretly of the elder scrolls world (within limited resources) exists, they want to go there. They want to finally experience the breadth of the Elder Scrolls universe and walk on the sands of Elsweyr, climb the mountains of Skyirm, experience the great city of Cyrodyll (or however that's spelled). In Other Elder Scrolls games (well, morrowind and Skyrim) other lands have been made allowing players to go to Elseweyr, or Cyrodil, etc.
and no I'm not taking offense nor do I hope to give it. I just think that the point from elder scrolls fans is that they want to be able to experience the whole of Nirn with their chosen character in a way that represents their playstyle and they can't. Or they can but they need to make an alt and essentially play another game.

I know... and I cant say it wouldnt be fun to be a nord and take a stroll to hammerfell... BUT... considering what you see in WoW and other games that let you walk around the other faction's lands, I have to choose the lesser of two evils. I rather not go to Hammerfell than to have a WoW-like experience where faction simply doesnt matter at all at any level.
If you're questing or "pveing" you get ganked by a 90... or corpse camped by some idiot who has no life between his randoms. If you ask for help, your own faction says "oh man, screw that... just log another toon and come back later", if they're sieging your capital "guys they're coming for orgrimmar" - "screw it, just finishing buying my pots in ah then I have to go raid xxx let them have fun, I dont care", or "theres an horde farming in Goldshire /wave /kiss" - what the hell?
In daoc... you saw a little tower getting attacked, you issued a freaking call to arms and everyone would drop what they were doing and come to help... crafting or fighting dragons, didnt matter, people would just all quit their stuff and ran to the frontiers... from the well geared 50s to little 35's, you'd seen them all there, because "Our stuff is OUR stuff and no one TAKES OUR STUFF".
Its hard to explain the concept in DAoC without mentioning something that I'll get flamed and ridiculed by it but I'll say it - Realm Pride. The lack of "contact" with other factions didnt allow for you to develop any kind of emotional feeling towards them besides "hate them, kill them, take their stuff, if they do the same, try and get their women and children also, get their heads on pikes on the way to our keep just to show them". So... to promote the rivalry and utter hate towards the other faction is needed for you to only see the bad stuff about them - taking your stuff - if you realize that they're just like you doing the same stuff, you grow a feeling of "understanding" - and pvp (and curiously real life wars) only really work when you only demonize the enemy... if you're at war with China or Russia, you dont really want your troops and common citizens to watch them having dinner with their families and celebrating birthdays, that would just soften your "fighting spirit" - same applies here :)
Thats why I agree with no contact with other factions. I dont want to /hug /wave /kiss a Breton... I want to /slit, kill them all and /pray. (I used to /pray in DAoC after killing someone cause the character would do this cross sign emote with his right hand like a extreme unction or anointing of the sick (since I was an alb)

You create a character, explore the world, discover things and somewhere along the line might be faced with a choice. No matter how many choices there was, like 3 houses or either werewolf or vampire....you always had the choice of walking away.
No matter what character I make, whichever race I choose, I am part of the war and I cannot do anything about that. And seeing as the war only actually takes place in 1 or the 10 regions that is a pretty big thing to force onto people. That is a really BIG problem for me personally. And from that stems all the other problems like not being able to explore the entire continent of Tamriel like the posters say I can!

I understand "realm pride" but just in the form of one's own guild/alliance family".

I'm 34 weeks +3 pregnant and have been having severe pain in my lower right ribcage this week. I've been to the hospital a couple times for it and my lab work has come back normal and my blood pressure is great. They discovered that my gallbladder has sludge and stones, so they diagnosed me with gallbladder pain and have been trying to treat it with narcotics. The surgeon would like to avoid surgery since I'm so far along in the pregnancy and because the gallbladder doesn't look that bad at this point. I went back to the hospital today for fluids and IV medication and noticed on my discharge paperwork that my platelets were a little low at 115, but that they weren't concerned and just wanted to retest them in one week.
I delivered my first child at 36 weeks due to severe pre-e with all the usual symptoms - high bp, swollen ankles, etc. My second child was delivered at 33 weeks due to what they think was atypical pre-e. My blood pressure was normal except for one high reading, no swelling, but I had URQ pain off and on, and my platelets and enzymes would jump around. One day they would be slightly concerning, the next they would be in the normal range.
I have an OB appt tomorrow and plan on asking questions then, but should I be concerned that I could developing pre-e or HELLP? Can the pain be located slightly lower in the ribcage? Has anyone else had a similar experience? I know that my doctor and hospital will provide great care for me, but I have to admit that I had my heart set on a full term baby this time around,

Something else that you may find of interest. there are a group of game modders who are trying to add most (if not all) of the unfinished content back into the game! They've even managed to add video of some of the stuff they've restored like the HK-50 droid factory as well as your NPC exploits on Malachor V! Check out their progress here.
It was a bit of a letdown to know that they rushed the game into production and didn't finish it, I would've gladly waited 6-months to a year for them to get it right.

Elizabethtown Teens appear to be getting it, but there is still more work to be done.
That is what Doug Terbeek and Mac MacDevitt said were the results of the 2012 Prevention Needs Assessment Survey conducted in each school throughout Essex County, which they presented to the Essex County Board of Supervisors during its Sept. 24 Ways and Means Committee meeting.
"Overall, the risk for youth is trending down," Terbeek, the Executive Director of the Prevention Team, said. "There are 20 risk factors and 15 protective factors that are covered in the survey, and we can really pull out some very interesting data from these surveys. The good news is that the numbers are going down, but they are still higher than the national averages."
MacDevitt said that students from each school filled out surveys about their perceptions and use of alcohol and drugs.
"We made it very clear and worked very hard to keep these results confidential," he said. "No teachers ever saw their answers and each one was sealed after it was completed. The students were given the chance to be honest and open."
MacDevitt said any surveys that seemed to be filled out improperly were discarded leading to what he felt was an accurate representation of where teens in Essex County schools stand on the issues of alcohol and drug use.
"What the research says is that this is a community problem," he said. "The idea is to try and work on these factors to make these things less desireable to our youth. We need to drive the kids to more positive behaviors."
Terbeek said that around 76 percent of students in grades 7-12 in the county responded to the surveys.
"This is what these kids perceive is going on," MacDevitt said. "This is their honest opinion. In the world of trying to figure out what is going on with youth, this is not a bad tool."

Rated 5 out of 5Â by lucysmom Love! Love! Got this top in black/natural when available. Wore it to a large mall this weekend and got at least three compliments from salespersons. Just ordered two more, one in navy/white and solid olive. I am short so the length is perfect on me. Got it in Large (I am size 14) and it fits great. As mentioned in other reviews the sleeves are a bit tight but wearable. 8.19.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by erinkaelie My new favorite shirt I absolutely love this shirt! I had wanted this shirt for a long time, and I finally got it in the black and ivory stripe. The sleeves are very fitted, and the body is loose and flowing, which I love. I'm 5'6", and my torso is average/longer, so I can't really wear the shirt with low cut bottoms, but I don't mind that. It fits me perfectly and the peplum is gorgeous. It's more so gray/tan ivory rather than how white it seems in the picture, but that made it even better for me. I highly reccomend this purchase! 6.29.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by fsuz28 Not for me Looks great on the model it is tight in the bust area and to big around the bottom for me. It appears no skin is showing but on me if I lift my arms my stomach and sides are exposed. I guess if I wore "mom jeans" that would take care of that problem. I own similiar shirts and love them. I ordered a large. I am 5'4 and 125 LBS and have a curvy figure. I was disappointed. 6.19.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by coreynewcomb Nice fit, good shirt Around the middle is bigger than it looks on the model, but personally I like this when its on. Though it is shorter than I like its very cute and can go with jeans or leggings with boots or when the pants are rolled up with cute sandals or flip flops. 6.18.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by faithloves Lovely top! This is a great top! The fabric is great and wears nicely. I got the coral stripe color that seems to no longer appear on the site but I love this shirt!! It's especially great under a cool jean jacket or looks great by itself. It doesn't feel heavy so it will make a great summer piece!! It's a beautiful shirt but pear shapes beware; it will make your bottom appear larger. If you're not a pear, go for it! It's a great piece and I love mine! 5.26.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by FPJulieAnne So in Love I absolutely love this top -- I have it in the Royal Blue / White stripe and get endless compliments on how cute it looks. I pair it with my High Waist Scrunch Skirt and it looks great! 5.17.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Shorty212 LOVE this top! They could of made the top of the sleeves a little bigger, but other than that I'm in love with it and bought both colors. I'm only 5' tall, so it didn't seem short to me at all. Medium seemed to be a true medium to me. 5.14.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by SparkAngel For Skinny Folks I often take a large in tops that are more fitted in the arms or bust, but the large in this top was way too tight in the upper arms and across the chest. In the photos it looks comfy, but the only part that wasn't fitted (the peplum) turned out to be too short because of how tight the upper portion was. I am busty (DDD), but the fabric is not stretch jersey, but heavy cotton t-shirt material. Great color stripes I really wanted for my wardrobe, but it just didn't fit. Sadly I returned it. I suggest this top for skinny girls! 5.11.2013

The Dorchester Shrine Club treated kids to a morning of fishing April 27.
A large crowd of youth age 17 and younger attended the club's fifth annual Kids Fishing Rodeo held at the Dorchester Shrine Club lake. After a morning of fishing kids brought in their catch to be weighed and prizes were awarded in several categories including Most Fish, Biggest Fish and Youngest Fisherman.
Then the youth were treated to lunch compliments of the club.
The fishing rodeo is open to the public and is just one of several events the club sponsors annually. The club's primary mission is supporting Shriner's International, which sponsors 22 hospitals across the U.S., Canada and Mexico that provide advanced care for children with orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate. The Dorchester Shrine Club has approximately 230 members dedicated to helping the Shriner's health care system.

Religion has played a monumental role in shaping our world – as well as our college. Its impact has been, and continues to be, indisputably powerful. And with its rich history and tradition, religion continues to spark important discussion, discovery and debate. Here at Lakeland, the religion program focuses on Christian theology, but Professor Karl Kuhn stresses that all religions – including Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Shintoism and Taoism – are explored.
Growing spiritually, intellectually
"Our goal is not to indoctrinate students in a particular religious perspective, but to help them have a developed sense of the Christian theological tradition as a whole," says Kuhn, an ordained United Church of Christ minister who's been at Lakeland College since 1999 and authored three books. "And we want our students to engage in a broad set of religious perspectives."
Lakeland College began as a seminary of the church in 1862, a little more than a decade after German emigrants settled in Sheboygan. After Lakeland College expanded educationally, and the seminary moved to Minnesota, Lakeland College continued to embrace religion as a part of its overall identity and heritage.
Just as religion once helped shape what would become Lakeland College, Lakeland College remains committed to helping interested students shape their broad-based knowledge of religion.
Facts about Lakeland's religion program:
- To earn a major in religion from Lakeland College, a student must complete just 39 credits in the discipline. That relatively low number of required credits allows students to easily combine the religion major with other majors.
- Students who major in religion will critically analyze and discuss biblical texts and comprehend the foundation and culture of religions other than Christianity.
- The Mission House Center is an office on campus that provides opportunity for reflection and education. Twice a year, theological lectures are offered for students.
- There are no prerequisites or religion-based requirements for entering the religion program.
- Career placement for students with a religion major includes work in churches, homeless shelters, campus ministries, elderly care centers and church camps.
Snapshot of Success
Name: Cathy Sims
Hometown: Madison, Wis.
Title: Health aide
Business: Casa Community Services
When Cathy arrived at Lakeland College, religion was in the background of her thoughts. By the time she left, it was a significant force in her life.
"I had grown up in church and gone on mission trips when I was young, but I had kind of backed away from religion," she says. "My first day at Lakeland, the chaplain was making her rounds and stopped in my room, and we had an immediate connection. Really, that connection brought my faith back."
As a religion major, Cathy dove with zeal into classes such as feminist theology and biblical interpretation. Meanwhile, her work outside the classroom was a shining example of real-life community outreach. She started three clubs: the Lakeland College Service Group (which rang the bell during Salvation Army drives and provided daycare for a local church); the Eco Friends (which focused on campus-wide recycling and composting); and the Spiritual Life Council (which encouraged students of all denominations to visit the chapel and participate in school activities).
After graduating in 2010, Cathy was chosen for a year-long volunteer program through the United Church of Christ called Young Adult Service Communities. She was assigned to Southern Arizona, and worked for the senior lunch program and the adult day health care program. She took and passed a class to become a certified caregiver, and the day after the year-long program ended, she was hired fulltime.
Outside of work, her community service continues, mostly through a local church.
Cathy's long-term goal is to become a health care administrator or run her own health care or hospice care organization.
"I think as far as my religion degree, it will be beneficial for the kind of counseling I will be able to give family members whose loved ones are at the end of life," she says.
As Cathy looks back on her time at Lakeland, she recalls how her perspective changed after some initial trepidation.
"After the first year, I absolutely loved it. I had so many friends, so many great relationships with students, faculty and staff. When it came time to graduate, I did not want to leave."

Goya's Madrid
The characters immortalised by Francisco de Goya in many of his Madrid-themed works, such as The field of San Isidro, later generated a type of character, the Goyaesque or goyesco, which then became a regional costume. This symbolises the bond between the Aragonese artist and the Spanish capital, where his famous Quinta del Sordo estate was located in and whose paintings you can see in the Prado Museum. As well as his impressionist black paintings and other emblematic ones by the artist, you can enjoy the temporary exhibition Goya in Madrid until the next 3rd of May.
The exhibition focuses on the cartoons that Goya made for the Royal Tapestry Factory, in contrast with those of other artists, and it also shows paintings and sculptures that were used as inspiration for his works. Goya considered these tapestry cartoons not as a small-time work but rather as a "metaphorical invention" of reality that later paved the way for his definitive art. Standard tickets cost 14 euros.

See the top 20 most helpful scuba gear reviews
Average Customer Review: based on 72 reviews.Rating: Excellent knife for the price
Are there any practical advantages/disadvantages to having a blunt tip as opposed to the sharp tip, other than personal preferences?
Hi, I am a novice diver and bought this knife recently. I am planning to buy a Sherwood Avid CQR3 BCD. How can I attach this knife to my BCD rather than to my leg? Thanks
The Scuba Titanium BC Knife adds the superior durability, sharpness and corrosion resistance of Titanium and boasts a 3 1/8 inch blade length and an over-all length of 6 3/4 inches that features a serrated edge that is perfect for sawing through anything that may obstruct the diver. The handle features a finger and thumb rest giving a comfortable and secure grip even when wearing gloves and a solid metal butt cap designed to allow the diver to make more than enough noise to attract the attention of the divers around him or her. The advantages of Titanium are its lighter weight, stronger blade that holds a superior edge and it's near complete resistance to corrosion and scuffs. Both knives come complete with a single action, locking system sheath that allows the diver to remove and replace the knife easily and quickly with one hand. The sheath attaches easily to your BCD, arm or leg with the use of common knife straps.
