Before you get riled up about the title, its not a flaming or trolling thread. I have personally tried out the game, but I couldn't quite figure out what it was that made the game so appealing. It might be that I have a hard time understanding the appeal for most Asian mmos in general, but I keep hearing really good things about this game and I'm disappointed that I can't "get" then game. For those of you who like the game, is there something that sticks out for you? or does FFXIV just pull off the standard theme park mmo really well?

The thing that captures me the most is the pure number of things to do. Like Crafting? Each gathering skill is an entire class. Each Crafting skill is an entire class. Complete with gear. Like getting cool Gear? There are many different ways to gear. Raiding, PVP, Grand Company rewards, Hunts, FATEs, Quests, etc. You can level every combat class on one character if you want to. Also, the community in game is one of the more friendly ones I've encountered recently.
As far as themeparks go, this one has an amazing number of things to do, and does each of them very well.
Just my opinion of course.

I tried to get into it too but it's really hard to become interested in. I think the 0 voice acting made the game feel way too quiet for me. Just a bunch of music and sound effects nothing ever talks.

Hi Urbanaudio,
Let me start by saying that I find FFXIV quite engaging and fun to play but I could see why you do not "get it". First of all the game has a very specific and stylized high fantasy setting and feeling, no dark gritty graphics, no visceral bloodshed or depressing visual. Everything is bright and colored, the aesthetics are bubbly for a lack of a better word. The music while great is constantly upbeat and fast paced. This by itself might turn off people looking for a more down to earth fantasy experience, think Arthurian legends settings or what is commonly referred to as "Low fantasy" where things work mostly the same as the real world would in the time period with some magic sprinkled in.
The combat is not fast paced or action oriented, allot of the boss mechanics revolve around knowing the fight and being able to work as a team during move, burn and mechanics phases. I personally love this aspect of the game, it requires 4, 8 or 24 people to work as a team. There are allot of one shot fails in raids and that will really get under some people's skin, especially when some cry baby goes on a Beiber level emo rant and leaves the instance. Raids and instances are also timed, anywhere between 60 and 120 minutes, meaning there are no hardcore 12 hour raids or fights. Everything is in challenging but bite sized components. I am simply in love with the group focused combat mechanics and how they find a use for every person in a raid, very rarely will someone feel unneeded. That is both a bonus and a drawback as I can understand people not liking this aspect of it.
FARMING OMG THE FARMING! well maybe not quite that bad but yes. SE is famous for including farm mechanics in almost all their games and this is no exception. There is allot of grinding and farming in this game and allot of it will be tied to change (The much hated RNG). While farm progress is mostly constant there are dry spells that can be anywhere from annoying to pencil breaking, hair pulling, insanely maddening. I can see the reasons why this is done but it would have to be my one pet peeve about this game.
Overall FFXIV offers fans of the series a true to form MMO that is challenging but not impossible. It rewards dedication without asking for 60 hours a week playtime. Encourages team play and greatly rewards those with class and fight knowledge. It will put off some players due to the high fantasy setting or difficulty and some beacuse of the grindy nature of progression but it will attact many other players for those exact same reasons.
It is perfectly okay to not like or get the game to be honest, many of my friends wonder why me, a die hard EVE Online player would go for a kiddy no loot game but there we have it. It has plenty of charm for some people, not all :)
In hopes of not having confused you more,

I have a few jobs to 50 been playing for 2 months really trying to give it a fair shot and be my new mmo but, every time I do the game breaks immersion for me.. Bam invisible walls all around every zone you try and explore. This game is one of the most "on rails" game I have seen. Apparently no one in the whole realm of Eorzea feels the need to learn how to swim cause it's surely not going to happen.. Might as well be one of those cheap f2p mmos that you click on the quest objective and your character automatically runs there. The dungeons and raids feel very lack luster having one boss in each "turn" as they call it that you waited 30 plus minutes to get in if your dps.. Overall not worth the sub fee unless your only playing the crafting which is about the only thing done well. Just my opinion though

Just recently participated in my first hunt by complete accident. Was in Southern Thanalan finishing up an story quest there, when /shout was filling up with people asking for invites for whatever the mobs name was, and people pointing out it's location. Then a MASSIVE group of 50's ran by me, so I followed. Ended up getting 8 Tomestones of MYthology, and 2 Tomestones of Soldiery, and 2 Allied Seals. I don't even know what all that stuff is. o.O

I bought the game in January and stopped after one week at level 22 because i found the game boring and too classic. Picked it up again before patch 2.3 and my opinion chaanged radically after playing it longer.
The trick is that the game unlocks slowly many forms of fun content on your way to level 50 and also a lot more at end game. Contrary to most other mmos you really have to play it long enough to get the full picture. The game has good lore ad class/job stories also.
That said the people who seem to enjoy the game the most play several classes at the same times, if you play only one class and do only dungeons and raids you'll get bored quickly imo and the 2.5s global cooldown on abilities is a turn-off for some people
Personnally i play a bit of all contents and it's easily my favorite themepark and I tried many.

FFXIV is a very very well done WoW clone with very fast and meaningful content updates.
IF you love WoW and Final Fantasy, like tab target content, and you like lowman/solo content. You will probally love FFXIV.
It is simply an ultra casual WoW game with a Final Fantasy skin. Best way to describe the game.
There is nothing unique about this game besides maby its crafting system it is alot more deep them most mmos.

What draws me to FFXIV/XI (Even thought I stopped subbing till ninja/thief come out for XIV) is the job versatility and the lore. Other than that, XIV is just another wow wannabe and XI is honestly better. That aside though, I think everyone has at least one popular that they have tried and just couldn't get into for whatever reason. For me, its GW2. I love the stories for GW2 but honestly it just isn't enough for me to keep playing it. Maybe because its like someone else said in another thread, its more of a single player game than a MMO. Or it could be the combat system (for me) since if I play a game for a long time and am doing stuff repetitively everyday, I prefer tab-targetting with less dodge mechanics, since more action oriented combat feels tedious to me in repetitive content.
For me its just simply that its FF... in an MMO setting. Love the writing, interesting storylines, jobs, slower-paced combat that to me seems close to the turn-based feel of the FF franchise, etc. Its almost not like an MMO for me, and I definitely wouldn't say that its my "main" game. I come to it occasionally just to immerse myself in the story. When I want a story-rich MMO, I play FF. When I want open-world goodness, I play Wushu or AA.

"It is double pleasure to deceive the deceiver". - Niccolo Machiavelli
almost everything in FFXIV appeals to me, including the asian style of the characters.
I think its easier for me to list things that dont appeal to me since they are far fewer.
- Compared to most open world mmos, XIV has too many invisible walls in places they shouldnt be (but thats not a deal breaker for me)
- A game full of water, water everywhere, and nobody knows how to swim... (i can live with it, but it sucks really bad)
- The main issue (and sort of deal breaker) for me is the lack of role flexibility. Every class is locked to a single role. The combined jobs (sub classes) still lock you to a single role. Thats why i discarded EQ2 and every other mmo that doesnt have role flexibility. And thats why i decided not to play XIV again. If i ever come back to the game it will be strictly as a non combat player focused on crafting (and that alone isnt enough reason to resub)

If you like themepark MMO's and don't like this game there's something wrong, which is why I don't think themeparks are your thing OP.

And not being a FF fan doesn't help. I played it for couple of months because i found crafting interesting but beyond that i find it to be a pretty average game. For an adventurer in me it left me un satisfied with its small shoe box zones.

I remember being gravitated towards WAR for its tight and fun PvP, was wondering if there was something akin to that I was missing out on. From what you guys are all saying, the crafting is pretty deep, so I might think about giving it another shot :)

Its probably the most well conceived mmorpg I have ever played. If you appreciate great game design, this one is one of the overall best. Every system has value and ties in to multiple other systems. You can play casually or hardcore and it feels equally rewarding. I recently bought mists of pandaria and resubbed to wow for a bit. People who think ffxiv is a wow clone are smoking some primo shit haha.

I think the main thing is that while it doesnt do anything all that innovative / new, it takes a lot of existing things from other games and does them extremely well and / or improves upon several of them slightly. IN many other games you will have that 1 or 2 things it does well, but everything else pretty much completely sucks.
For example WAR, as someone mentioned earlier, was a fun game for being able to just jump in and pvp anytime. The rest of the game was very lacking.
FFXIV does a lot of different aspects well, and now with the addition of Frontlines they also finally have some decent PvP instead of that atrocity Wolves Den.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE TEAM UNDERTAKING REVIEW: Infection Control Team CONTACT PERSON: Beth Cullen TOPIC: Hand hygiene, nails and nail polish PRINCIPAL RESEARCH QUESTION/OBJECTIVE: To assess the evidence in relation to the effect of nail hygiene on general hand hygiene. METHODOLOGY i) Search strategy for identification of studies Period of publication 1966 - present Strategy key words hand$ art hygiene handwashing decontamination hand AND washing nail$ hand AND antisepsis varnish polish artificial Electronic databases MEDLINE X PsycINFO (tick as appropriate) Science Direct X EMBASE CINAHL X SIGLE X Cochrane Library Other Additional Resources References checked for relevant articles X (tick as appropriate) Review of abstracts of professional meetings/ conferences Personal libraries consulted X Experts consulted (give details if applicable) Handsearching of journals (name relevant journals e.g. X Journal of Hospital Infection, Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology) Journal of Hospital Infection Others (provide details): CDC DOH WHO SEHD HPA ii) Selection criteria for inclusion of studies Sample All health and social care workers. Outcome measure(s) Bacterial count on hands following intervention. Other inclusion criteria N/A Language Limitations English language only. iii) Quality assessment Study quality assessment Identified articles were reviewed according to Roe's model. Guidance documents, however, were unable to be subjected to all such criteria. Data collation and analysis Qualitative analysis of data performed on studies uncovered was undertaken using a case study approach. Guidance documents reviewed for any relevant commentary. RESULTS On review of the literature, a considerable amount of research has been uncovered which considers the effect of nail hygiene on general hand hygiene, including the maintenance of nails and the wearing of nail polish. At the centre of this literature are the guidelines both from Boyce & Pittet (2002) in conjunction with the Infection Control Practitioners Advisory Committee (CDC) and from the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) on handwashing and hand antisepsis in health care settings, published by Larson in 1995. These guidelines both make reference to the work of McGinley et al. (1988) who suggested that nails are best kept short as the majority of flora on the hands is found under the nails. This informed some work by Larson in 1989 which recommended that particular attention be paid to cleaning underneath nails. For the evidence, keeping nails short would, therefore, appear to decrease the likelihood of microorganisms harbouring beneath the nails. Furthermore, Larson (1995) highlights the fact that long nails may cause gloves to tear. Although cleaning beneath the nails is recommended, Ward's (2000) review of handwashing facilities in the clinical area, underlines the fact that nail brushes should not be used to clean under nails. This review does not take into account the cleaning of nails during the surgical scrub technique. It should be noted, however, that brushing can cause minor abrasions which can then pose as a port entry for microorganisms. This view is corroborated by the BMA (1989), Larson (1995) and Kerr (1998). Several studies have considered the wearing of nail polish and its effect on hand hygiene. According to Baumgardner et al (1993), nail polish on natural nails appears to have no detrimental influence if nails are short. However, Boyce & Pittet (2002) highlight Wynd's (1994) evidence to suggest that chipped polish may harbour greater numbers of microorganisms than polish which is freshly applied. If nail polish is worn, clear polish would be best, according to the 1995 APIC guidelines, as dark colours may obscure the subungal space making it more difficult to clean. With the increase in popularity in recent years of artificial nails, Pottinger et al (1989) conducted research to assess the potential for contamination of such nails. Their findings indicated that artificial nails increase the microbial load on nails. Consequently, the Association of Perioperative Registered Nurses (AORN), among others, recommends that artificial nails should not be worn by theatre personnel. Indeed, staff wearing artificial nails have been epidemiologically implicated in a number of outbreaks of infection, primarily caused by gram negative bacilli (Passaro et al., 1997, Foca et al., 2000, Parry et al., 2001). Although key studies have addressed the effect on microbial load of nail length, nail polish and artificial nails, it is important to consider the possibility that the length of nails, the wearing of nail polish and/or the donning of artificial nails could lead to less rigorous handwashing which would compromise this infection control measure. CONCLUSIONS Ø Evidence would suggest that nails harbour the majority of hand microorganisms and, therefore, require particular attention when cleaning. Ø Short nails harbour fewer organisms, are easier to clean and are less likely to tear gloves. Ø Nail brushes are not recommended as they can cause abrasions, leaving the potential for infection. Ø Fresh nail polish does not appear to increase microbial load. However, chipped polish should be removed as this can harbour increased numbers of microorganisms. Ø Clear polish would be best as dark colours can make cleaning difficult. Ø Artificial nails appear to increase microbial load. Ø Artificial nails, long nails and wearing nail polish may lead to less rigorous handwashing. RECOMMENDATIONS Ø Health and social care workers should pay particular (if applicable) attention to cleaning their nails when washing their hands (by utilising the steps as described in the review relating to how hands should be decontaminated). Ø Nails should be kept short to avoid harbouring of microorganisms. Ø If worn, nail polish should be clear to avoid obscuring of the subungal space. Ø Nail brushes are not recommended for use as they may increase the risk of infection. (This does not apply when undertaking a surgical scrub technique.) Ø Artificial nails should not be worn. PRACTICAL As the hand hygiene measures described have been APPLICATION recommended for some time, no significant change to practice should be required, however, the standards set down must be achieved. RESOURCE As per current policies. All resources required for dealing IMPLICATIONS with hand hygiene should already be in place.

100% of users saw improvement in fine lines and wrinkles after one month of twice weekly use of this high performance Alpha Hydroxy Acid peel.
Exuviance Performance Peel AP25
Are chemical home peels really effective? What are the benefits? ~@styledo via Twitter
Did you know that an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) facial peel can help you get a fresher, more luminous complexion? Skin is the body's largest organ and turns over new growth every single day. As old skin cells shed, new cells grow, and when the old cells do not slough off, your skin can look dull and lifeless. This is the perfect time to add an AHA peel to your weekly beauty routine. Peels enhance exfoliation to help refine skin texture, smooth fine lines and even skin discoloration, while helping to reduce the appearance of acne scars and environmental damage.
An alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) peel, like the Exuviance Performance Peel AP25, is a safe and easy to use system that can be performed at home. This simple, two-step process utilizes a cocktail of Glycolic, Mandelic and Polyhydroxy Acids to help exfoliate dead surface layers and stimulate the process of cell renewal. After the peel has been applied and activated, wait a few minutes, then follow with a quick swipe of the neutralizer pad and you're done.
The results? A healthier looking, more radiant complexion. Clinical studies indicate that use of the Exuviance Performance Peel AP25 for one month, twice a week, provides powerful benefits: 100% of users saw improvement in fine lines and wrinkles and 94% of users saw more even skin tone, texture and radiance. (Data on file, NeoStrata Company, Inc.)
Are you looking for something stronger than a home peel? A variety of skin rejuvenation peels can be customized by your Esthetician or physician based on your unique skin type and the specific results you hope to achieve. A quick conversation with your Esthetician can help you determine the correct peel for your complexion.
I have little white bumps on the backs of my upper arms, what are they and what can I do about them? ~Lisa, Princeton, NJ
This very common skin condition is known as Keratosis Pilaris (KP) and affects about 50% of all adults. Don't worry—while KP may look undesirable and feel rough to the touch, this condition is not harmful in anyway. The white bumps are caused when excess keratin protein gets trapped in the hair follicles due to insufficient exfoliation. KP is most often found on the backs of arms and the upper thighs, but can appear on other parts of the body as well. While those affected can experience this condition year round, Keratosis Pilaris is usually worse in the winter due to the cold, dry air.
There are some easy ways to keep it under control and less noticeable. The use of mechanical exfoliants such as products with scrubbing beads or grains can irritate the condition, making it more visibly noticeable. Instead, we recommend using a daily moisturizer with high strength Alpha Hydroxy Acid such as NeoStrata Lotion Plus AHA 15. Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) are proven to increase the exfoliation process, which will smooth the skin and lessen the appearance of those little white bumps without the added irritation that comes from scrubbing.

This extra-strength, multi-purpose lotion is designed for experienced Alpha Hydroxy Acid users.

Can I reduce my pore size? ~Amy B., Allentown
With age and sun exposure, the skin loses its elasticity and pore size can increase. Genetics play a role too. If you aren't one of the lucky few born with microscopic pores, there are products that can help make your pores appear smaller, and we think it's important to know what you can do to keep your pores from getting any larger.
You may notice that pores contain hair follicles and sweat glands that can easily become clogged and enlarged. Over time, your pores may appear larger due to environmental and sun damage, a buildup of bacteria, oil and dead skin cells and improper skin care including lack of exfoliation.
Maintaining a good skin care regimen is vital to keeping your pores clean and healthy looking. Opt for skin care products with ingredients known to increase cell turnover and enhance the exfoliation process. Keeping your pores clean and clear, combined with the use of certain topical treatments can also make them appear smaller. Products with Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs) are proven to stimulate cell turnover which not only helps prevent pores from clogging and stretching, they also make pores appear more refined.
To refine and unclog your pores, we recommend that you cleanse your face twice daily with a pore-refining cleanser such as NeoStrata Antibacterial Facial Cleanser or NeoStrata Foaming Glycolic Wash to start the exfoliation process. For more oily skin types we suggest following with an oil-reducing toner such as NeoStrata Oily Skin Solution with 8% glycolic acid. Finish your routine with an oil-controlling moisturizer, such as NeoStrata Sheer Hydration SPF 35 to add necessary moisture while keeping excess oil production under control. For further pore refinement supplement your daily regimen with a weekly peel, such as Exuviance Performance Peel AP25.

Here's the entire principal cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation reuniting onstage at TNG EXPOsed in Calgary in honor of the show's 25th anniversary (Sidenote: 25 years?? I just died of oldness and someone else is now finishing this post.)
If you want to watch hundreds of shrieking TNG fans hurl questions at Patrick Stewart, Levar Burton, Brent Spiner, Jonathan Frakes, Gates McFadden, Wil Wheaton, et al for an hour, or in other words, if you are a SANE PERSON WHO USES THEIR TIME AS WELL AS I DO, you can watch the entire reunion below in 5 convenient Youtube chunks.
Here's the first part, beginning with about 6 minutes of "wooing" introductions and cast member dancing (you can skip over it, if you're a LAME CASUAL FAN). The Michael Dorn / Worf intro is cut off for some reason, probably because Worf asked Picard very reasonably if he could be introduced and Picard shot him down 70 times:

Jackson Diehl writes:
On November 15, 1988, Yasser Arafat proudly read a declaration by his Palestinian Liberation Organization unilaterally proclaiming "the establishment of the State of Palestine on our Palestinian territory with its capital Jerusalem." Shortly afterward the United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to support the declaration; within months 93 governments had recognized the state of Palestine.
That state, of course, never came into existence. The PLO declaration, the United Nations vote, even the recognition by scores of countries, proved meaningless.
True enough. But it is not 1988. Obama is in the White House. The delegitimizers have been making the case for years that the Jewish state is illegitimate. So the reaction may be decidedly less blasé than it was more than 22 years ago. Diehl optimistically proclaims:
No country has taken steps to enforce the UN's 1988 vote on Palestinian statehood — and none would be likely to in this case. In short, it's hard to imagine how a state could be created without Israel's agreement. Sanctions? Those are unlikely to win the support of either the United States or the European Union.
Is it so hard? And more important, would the Obama administration seek to find some "middle ground," as occurred in the flotilla incident, perhaps abstaining on a "no settlement" resolution as some supposed compromise? The fact that this has not been an issue for 22 years tells us just how badly the Obama team has bollixed up Middle East diplomacy.

An excellent movie about the methodicalness and determination of the police in a small town in the Soviet Union in the 1980s in trying to track and catch a serial killer. Based on a true life case, this film shows the brutality of the USSR at the time and how, because of limited resources, detectives often found themselves undermanned and overworked. An excellent cast rounds out this fabulous film about hunting down a killer and how slow and frustrating a process it could be.

This is by far my favorite Roger Moore "Bond" outing. And, even one of the best in the entire Bond series. The Spy Who Loved Me begins very similar to another one of my favorite Bond films…You Only Live Twice with Sean Connery. Both films start with the capturing of crafts…in You Only Live Twice it is a space rocket and in The Spy Who Loved Me it is a submarine. Obviously, we know that these "stolen" crafts are not to work of a sane person or entity. But, who is it? Is it Russia? Is it China? Basically once the craft is captured, it is up to 007 to save the day, as usual. Where both films differ is in the villain. You Only Live Twice has the ever-popular Blofeld, who by the time You Only Live Twice came out, was getting a little passé. But, in The Spy Who Loved Me, Curd Jürgens plays Stromberg…one of the best Bond villains. His evilness is intense and not prolonged…if he wants to kill someone, he just does it (unlike the other Bond baddies who talk and talk and talk about killing before they actually get around to it). Moore also has excellent chemistry with his Russian counterpart…played by Barbara Bach. They play well off of each other, even though Bach is a little stiff at times. Moore's quips usually get to be too much after a while but Bach does a good job of countering his jibes with some of her own.
A fine German movie, which had less thrills than I expected, but the story was top-notch. Set in the early 1980s before the Berlin Wall fell, I found this film to be more of a psychological character study of one man and his sense of personal justice. A Stasi (the secret police of East Germany) officer is assigned to spy on a playwright and his actress girlfriend because the playwright is a friend of a blacklisted stage director. When the officer finds out that he might be spying on the playwright for different reasons than he was told, he begins to doubt his assignment. The officer starts to doubt everything he believes in…and finds himself questioning everything in his life. Excellent acting makes this a must see film…which won the Best Foreign Film Oscar.

Home Kent Business County News Article
Cafe owner Sharon Naden is offering her customers an epic breakfast loaded with 7,500 calories and 512g of saturated fat.
Sharon's mega fry-up at Papa Joe's Cafe in St Michael's, near, Tenterden, is called the 10Terden Terminator, as it features 10 servings of each item.
The dish is so huge it has to be ordered 24 hours in advance as preparation and cooking occupies all of Sharon's grills.
It's enough to make NHS dieticians go faint. They recommend a healthy diet of no more than 30g of saturated fat a day for men and 20g daily for women. Daily calorie intake should be 2,500 and 2,000 respectively.
Sit down at Papa Joe's in Ashford Road, and you'll have it served on a one-and-a-half foot long salver dish, with the chance to have your name entered on Sharon's 'Wall of Fame'.
To be 'famous' you'll need to eat it all up on your own in 30 minutes and then it will be free of charge. Fail and you're put on the Wall of Shame.
"If they eat it in 30 minutes, we will only charge them £10"
The dish consists of 10 sausages, 10 rashers of bacon, 10 eggs, 10 tomatoes, 10 large mushrooms, 10 hash browns, five fried slice and five slices toast, baked beans, tomatoes...
with a cup of tea or coffee thrown in with free refills. The bill is £20.
The epic breakfast is modelled on American TV series Man Versus Food.
Sharon said: "My dish is ideally designed for two people to share but if they eat it in 30 minutes, we will only charge them £10.
"Those brave enough to eat it all on their own in that time, then they pay nothing."
"The dish is only available at weekends. It's all for a bit of fun, really. I really love looking after my customer and I treat them all with tender loving care."

Individual Emiliania huxleyi cells can only be seen with the help of microscopes, but periodically they occur together in enormous blooms which can be clearly seen from satellites.
Algal blooms occur when the conditions are ideal for the species forming them resulting in explosive population growth. In the case of E. huxleyi this can lead to populations of 1 to 10 million cells per litre, and in addition hundreds of millions of loose coccoliths floating in the water. This turns the water milky white, in contrast to green or red water produced by other phytoplankton species.
A few other coccolithophores are known to form blooms but E. huxleyi is by far the most important bloom forming species.
E. huxleyi blooms typically occur in early summer, in temperate waters along the edge of the continental shelf. Areas with regular blooms include:
Emiliani huxleyi blooms are brought to an end by viruses that infest the coccolithophores, killing them. Learn about the different theories that have been put forward to explain the dynamics between the E. huxleyi and virus populations.

Since April 1997, 11 sentinel events have been received and reviewed by the Joint Commission related to home health care patients who were either injured or killed as a result of a fire in the home. These home care patients were receiving supplemental oxygen service and in each case, the patient was over the age of 65. Several risk factors for home care related fires have been identified through an intensive analysis of these sentinel events; these risk factors include 1) living alone, 2) lack of smoke detectors or presence of non-functional smoke detectors, 3) cognitive impairment, 4) an identified history of smoking while oxygen is running, and 5) flammable clothing. These home care sentinel events resulted in the death of seven patients and the loss of function or permanent disfigurement for four other patients. Cigarette smoking was determined to be a contributing factor in each of these cases.

GoDaddy Super Bowl 2013 Ad: The Kiss – Bar Refaeli's Perfect Match!
February 3, 2013 | Entertainment | No Comments
Supermodel Bar Refaeli experiences the kiss in GoDaddy 2013 Big Game commercial, "when sexy meet smart, your small business scores".
"Heiman was a Go Daddy hosting customer long before he was cast to play Walter and he had never been in a Super Bowl commercial … and never kissed a supermodel before," according to Ad Week.
"Likewise, this is Refaeli's first Super Bowl commercial. She probably had never kissed a homely character actor before, either," the site added.
And above statement proved to be true when the one kiss ad took the couple 45 takes before it was perfect to go on air.

Swimming and Diving Travel to Big 12 Championships
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University swimming and diving squads will travel to the Big 12 Championships at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center in Austin, Texas. The conference championships will be held from Feb. 27-March 2.
The teams look to start their postseason with a strong showing in the Mountaineers first ever Big 12 Championships appearance. The women's team will compete against Iowa State, Kansas, TCU and Texas, while the men's team will compete against TCU and Texas.
Several women's swimmers look to excel at the Big 12 Championships. Senior Rachael Burnett has had consistent top finishes throughout the season to continue her storied career at West Virginia, including a pool record in the 1,650 free during the Mountaineers last meet against Ohio to go along with wins in the 100 free and 500 free. Senior Mandie Nugent won both the 200 free and the 200 fly against Ohio, sophomore Julie Ogden also won in the 100 fly.
For the men's swimmers, the Mountaineers have been training since Jan. 18, and several men's swimmers look to continue their strong seasons. Sophomore Julien Vialette won the 50 free in the last meet against TCU, while senior Hugh Simmonds won the 200 free.
The WVU relay teams have been consistent all season and hope to bring that into the conference championships. The women's 200 free relay team of Eva Burlingham, Ogden, Jaimee Gillmore and Burnett won in the last meet, while the 400 medley relay team of Courtney Miller, Jenelle Zee, Nugent and Gillmore placed second.
The Mountaineer diving squads will also take their impressive season to Austin. Sophomore Haily VandePoel won both the 1-meter and 3-meter dives in the last meet against George Mason. Freshman Tori Taffner placed second on the 3-meter, and placed fourth on the 1-meter, while sophomore Jennifer Rey placed second on the 1-meter and third on the 3-meter. For the men's divers, freshman Christian Parker took first on the 3-meter board and second on the 1-meter board.
Last season, the women placed third in the Big East Championships, while the men placed fourth.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - The House has unanimously approved a measure to prohibit welfare recipients from using their electronic benefit cards to make purchases or cash withdrawals at liquor stores, bars, casinos, strip clubs and other adult entertainment businesses.
Rep. Nate Gentry, an Albuquerque Republican, said Wednesday that HB 12 is needed to comply with federal requirements and the state could lose $5 million in federal aid if the restrictions aren't enacted.
Welfare-to-work program recipients receive cards similar to a debit card for the amount of their cash assistance. The cards can be used at ATMs or at retailers.
The Human Services Department has identified $44,000 in transactions last year at businesses covered by the proposed ban. New Mexico currently prohibits use of benefit cards at tribal casinos but not at horse racing track casinos.

Blogging is technically an online activity, but the lines between virtual and real life have long blurred in the Indian blogosphere. Today, bloggers are friends on social media and off it, exchange notes on blogging and personal lives, and meet each other without the limitations of a computer screen.
BlogAdda wishes to celebrate this aspect of blogging with the #YouMakeMeWIN activity, and this is your chance to honour a fellow blogger who has made an impact on you.
Did you know Mark Twain visited the Kumbh Mela in 1895 before it was made too mainstream by our Bollywood Stars? Now wouldn't you want to know more about the festival? How would it be if you get a chance to experience Kumbh Mela through a film, books, discussions and performances?
Well, then here is a golden opportunity for those who are intrigued by this gargantuan religious event!
A moment is all you are searching for, a moment in love with yourself. A moment of freshness is all we need to jump into a pool of things that otherwise just take a back seat. A road trip, a jam session or a song that is close to your heart, such pop ups have surprising and healing effect on us considering the amount of madness that we all go through in our everyday lives. It is time for a Taazgi Ka Dhamaka with music.
Spare time to read - Blogging is not just about writing but also about research and reading. Read as much as you can to learn new things and ideas that you can experiment with on your own blog.
Grammar - Depending on the language you use, blogging just makes it imperative that you are reasonably good with your grammar skills and proficiency if not a master. Remember your audience is a mix of both; the ones who are experts and the ones who are not.
Formatting - Your post need not be a circus. If you are not good with formatting, then stick to a theme that is light and descent in colors and the post layout. If you are good with trying new stuff then use that skill to better express through colors, fonts and layouts. Avoid colors that are dark and fonts that are overtly bright.

Commissioner Nichols Announces $1.7 Million in Savings from Bond Refinancing
BATON ROUGE - Today, Commissioner of Administration Kristy Nichols announced that the state will again generate savings through bond refinancing. In 2008, the state, along with the Department of Economic Development, entered into a Cooperative Endeavor Agreement with the New Orleans Federal Alliance and Algiers Development District of the City of New Orleans to fund a mixed-use development project at the Naval Support Activity in New Orleans. The estimated savings that will be generated from refinancing a portion of these bonds is $1.7 million over the life of the bonds.
This newest round of savings comes one week after the Commissioner announced an estimated $8.2 million in savings for the state, bringing today's total state savings through bond refunding to nearly $10 million. Since 2008, the three major credit rating agencies have upgraded Louisiana's credit rating eight times. As a result, the state is able to borrow at lower interest rates. "Generating savings twice in one month by refinancing these outstanding bonds shows how we are able to maintain smart financial practices and save taxpayers and the state money," said Commissioner Nichols.

Montessori vs. Reggio Emilia Approach
|Related Pages
Have you considered Montessori or a Reggio Emilia-inspired preschool before? Our son has been at a Montessori preschool this school year, but lately I've been thinking it may not be the right fit for him. He is highly active, verbal, and social, and loves imaginary play. We're wondering if he may be happier at a preschool that follows the Reggio Emilia philosophy and methods.
I'd love for you to share your experiences either switching from Montessori to Reggio-Emilia, having different children at both, or just learning through Reggio-Emilia. Thanks! Mama of a Spirited Child
We looked at Montessori schools - one very, very popular school in Oakland. When my daughter went for her ''interview'' she went to a tray to get a job. She borrowed a cloth from one tray to wash the table containing the ''tea.'' The teacher politely explained that each tray is a ''job'' and that you keep all of the items together. My daughter responded, ''I'm improvising.'' To which the teacher explained that she still needed to use the items from one tray, put the tray away and then she could use the items from another tray for the job. To which my daughter asked the teacher, ''Do the kids at your school EVER improvise?'' The teacher repeated the mantra about the jobs. My daughter turned to us and said, ''It's a very pretty school, but not MY school.''
We then went to Aquatic Park School in Berkeley even though we lived and worked in Oakland. It was worth the drive, the time and the energy. The teachers have actually visited Italy and understand the Reggio Emilia philosophy and have seen it in action. Children have barefoot days and ''wheel'' days. Children improvise daily.
I tell this story because we have a confident, bright, curious, creative daughter who is now 10. I believe she is this way in part because of the support she received in 3 years of preschool. Aquatic Park School trusts children to know their bodies- when they are and are not cold or hot, they are not afraid of dirt and mud, and reading is done ''at the request of the child.''
Another thing is that she was very, very prepared for school. Not only in the ''learn it'' academics but in the ability to transition to eating in the cafeteria, sharing tables/desks and transitions. Reggio Emilia is the way to go
But now, at his Reggio Emilia inspired school, they might spend the week exploring leaves, or the worms they found in the compost pile, or the Wizard of Oz (my son is now obsessed with the Wizard of Oz!). They work with puppets, explore different textures and art materials, bake muffins, grow plants, build rocket ships out of paper towel tubes and tape, and basically let the kids' curiosity drive the agenda. Now my son comes home covered in paint, dirt, or whatever the material of the day might be, but man is he a happy kid. It's not a quiet environment--in fact, it can get pretty chaotic--but there are quite a few ''spirited'' kids there, and the teachers are very adept at handling them with compassion and respect, while giving the kids enough free reign to be themselves. So for us, there was no question that Reggio Emilia was a better fit--not only for my son but for our family (since we're the ones cleaning him up at the end of the day!). happy mama of a happy preschooler

Hey, so I have a gorgeous full size western saddle that I bought off eBay. I'm hoping it will fit Ali - if it doesn't I won't use it on her, don't worry about that.
It measures 17" seat and 9" gullet.
But it didn't come with a cinch, so I bought two, only to find that the back strap of the western saddle is apparently not the same as the front! Not a problem as such, but I'm wondering:
A) Do I really need a rear cinch? The saddle has the straps for one.
B) Where is a good place to buy a rear cinch and a connector strap? Any online saddlery stores based in the UK that do western kit?
C) Would I be better off just having it converted to use an English style girth? (I'm in the UK.)
I initially purchased the saddle with a cob in mind, so again, I have to see if it fits Ali properly. It's also very heavy - I'm a little concerned it might be too heavy for her. Really want her to be comfortable.

UPDATED: Woman arrested on suspicion of murder after five children die in house fire
Posted: May 11, 2012|
A woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder after five children died in a house fire in Derby.
The children who died in the blaze in Victory Road, Allenton, early today were aged between five and 10.
All were understood to be children of Mick Philpott, who made national headlines after demanding a bigger council home to share with his wife, girlfriend and eight of their youngsters.
Police said that a woman in her late 20s has been arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the fire.

A sixth child, aged 13, has been transferred to hospital in Birmingham for specialist treatment.
Two adults are not seriously injured.
Crews from Ascot Drive, Nottingham Road and Melbourne fire stations were called to tackle the flames at 3.45am.
A police spokesman said an investigation into the cause of the fire was at a very early stage and it would be wrong to speculate on the cause.
A fire service spokesman said Victory Road would be closed to traffic for a number of hours.
Anyone who can help the police inquiry into the incident should contact the police on 101.

30-minute load-shedding to continue
Tuesday, 04 October 2011 15:59The newly introduced 30-minute load-shedding is likely to continue in Kerala until the flow of electricity from the Central grid is restored to normal level. The cyclical load-shedding will be spread over the four-hour period from 6.30 p.m. to 10.30 p.m.
Making a statement in the Assembly on 04-10-2011, Electricity Minister Aryadan Mohammed described the reasons for the unexpected power crisis the State had fallen into since September 29.
He said the State required around 2,300 MW during daytime and 2,900 MW during the 'peak' evening hours. The Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) had been meeting this demand with the help of electricity available from the power stations within the State and that available from Central power stations outside the State.
Kerala has eligibility for 1,134 MW of power from the Central stations located in places such as Ramagundam, Thalcher, and Neyveli. Since annual repair and maintenance work do not permit any power station to function at full capacity all the time, the average availability of electricity from these Central stations for Kerala comes to only around 970 MW.
Supply of coal to the Ramagundam power station has been adversely affected by the Telungana agitation in Andhra Pradesh. And the power stations at Thalcher and Neyveli too started experiencing certain problems on September 29. The Central power stations are now supplying to the State 300 MW less than the 970 MW they have been giving on an average.
The KSEB has taken care to avoid load-shedding during daytime by operating during daytime some of its hydroelectric stations (such as the one at Edamalayar) that would be normally operated only during the 'peak' evening hours, Mr. Mohammed said. Also, thermal power stations such as the ones at Kozhikode and Brahmapuram too have been pressed into service despite the very high cost involved in generating power there. On fuel alone, a unit of electricity generated at these stations now costs Rs.9.80.
The KSEB had tried to buy electricity from other States and the open market to make good the 'peak' time shortage. However, these efforts are yet to succeed since the other southern States too are experiencing severe power shortage.

Recipe by MISSERSUE
"Jalapenos stuffed with marinated shrimp are wrapped in bacon and grilled. My husband got this recipe from a friend. We were all dubious about my husband attempting any sort of cooking but this recipe is delicious and super easy. Perfect for a night where you want to whip something up quick and great served on a bed of yellow rice."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

large shrimp, peeled and deveined
lime, juiced
2 tablespoons
fresh chopped cilantro
1 large clove
garlic, minced
fresh jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
20 slices
wooden skewers, soaked in water
I made a few changes in the recipe...I stuffed the whole jalapeno instead of the half and then wrapped it in bacon, also on some of them i stuffed some shredded mozzarella cheese with the shrimp and then wrapped. I also sprayed the outside with some italian salad dressing spray.....they were a HIT!!!
Honestly, these were just ok. Maybe my jalapeños were too big, but the shrimp and bacon were overwhelmed by jalapeño. I might try it again with smaller jalapeños, but am limited by what is for sale at the store.
14 Ratings
great recipe!! everyone loved it and i'll definatly make it again. The second time i coated the peppers in a little oil and placed them in the oven for a while. i left the seeds in for the par bake so they would release their heat. i also cooked the bacon on a skillet so it would get a little crispier on the grill.
This was awesome! My boyfriend and our friends looooved this, only I messed up on the bacon part. I bought 28 shrimp but only one package of bacon so I had to cut the bacon in half and it worked out. I took the other person's advice about cheese - I cut up blocks of Monterey Jack. Absolutely yummy, and I'll stick with half a slice of bacon.
Awesome! I made two changes: 1) I partially cooked the bacon prior to preparing. 2) I added a small piece (the size of the jalapeno) of Monterey Jack cheese, which I put under the shrimp. These were so good and easy too. Next time I would parboil the peppers for perhaps 60 seconds so they aren't quite so crunchy. Other than that-perfection!!
Outstanding! I made this with whole jalapenos, and stuffed them with a little cream cheese as well as the marinated shrimp. I also used half a slice of bacon per pepper, which was plenty. They they were a bit fiddly to make, the end result was definitely worth it. Amazing! Thanks so much!
These are amazing over a bed of white rice. I added in basil pepper jack cheese to the wrap and it really added a different dimension. While these are spicy, it somehow balances out with the crispy bacon and white rice. Wonderful.
These took some time to assemble but WOW was it worth it. My 4th of July bash was a hit and these got tons of compliments. Thank you for posting this!!

**Rating system for "Plus/Minus" Series**
+3 = Major Upgrade
+2 = Upgrade
+1 = Slight Upgrade
0 = Same as prior year
-1 = Slight Dowgrade
-2 = Downgrade
-3 = Major Downgrade
Team: Vancouver Canucks
2010-11: 117 points, #1 in Western Conference
Returning: Roberto Luongo, Cory Schneider
Arrivals: N / A
Departures: N / A
Grade: 0
No change in goal for the Vancouver Canucks, that is unless they decide to add more scoring by shopping Cory Schneider. That wouldn't happen until midseason at the earliest.
Returning: Kevin Bieksa, Dan Hamhuis, Alexander Edler, Keith Ballard, Sami Salo, Andrew Alberts, Aaron Rome
Arrivals: N / A
Departures: Christian Ehrhoff
Grade: -2
While some may argue this rating should be a -3, the Canucks were decimated by injuries on defense last year, so just getting healthy offsets some of the loss of Ehrhoff.
Returning: Henrik Sedin, Daniel Sedin, Alex Burrows, Ryan Kesler, Mason Raymond, Mikael Samuelsson, Manny Malhotra, Chris Higgins, Max Lapierre, Jannik Hansen, Victor Oreskovich
Arrivals: Marco Sturm, Mark Mancari, Andrew Ebbett
Departures: Raffi Torres, Tanner Glass, Jeff Tambellini
Grade: 0
The only significant loss for the Canucks was third-liner Raffi Torres, who they replaced with Marco Sturm. Sturm brings less jam but a bit more offense. Vancouver got some good use out of Glass and Tambellini, but decided to replace them with Mancari and Ebbett, both of whom have spent some time going back and forth from the AHL to the NHL. We'll call that 3 for 3 swap an even trade.
2011-12 Prediction: #1-#3 in Western Conference
The Canucks can count on great defense and goaltending this season, but the big question mark is their depth up front especially with Mason Raymond injured to start the year. If they are struggling to score goals, Vancouver has some attractive trade bait (Schneider, Hodgson) to be able to land a top line winger. Despite al of that, Vancouver will still likely win their division.

While the burger was to die for, and the restautant itself was nostalgic, I will not stop again. There seems to be a confusion as you enter as to how seating is. There is no one to greet you or even explain that it's first come first serve for an open seat (nor a sign). In that confusion, my friend & I asked others that were waiting for a seat how the process went. They explained that you just wait around & everyone just knows who was there first. Not everyone is polite enough to wait there turn & two couples just came in & sat in the chairs that emptied out. The staff doesn't even pay attention & there's a much better way to organize seating in my opinion. As I said I did enjoy the flavor of the burger, but it was a little tainted with the rude attitude leading up to it. My advise, get take out
