15 U.S. Code § 7303 - Authorities
(a) Entry and inspection
In investigating a building failure under this chapter, members of a Team, and any other person authorized by the Director to support a Team, on display of appropriate credentials provided by the Director and written notice of inspection authority, may—
(1) enter property where a building failure being investigated has occurred, or where building components, materials, and artifacts with respect to the building failure are located, and take action necessary, appropriate, and reasonable in light of the nature of the property to be inspected to carry out the duties of the Team under section 7301 (b)(2)(A) and (B) of this title;
(2) during reasonable hours, inspect any record (including any design, construction, or maintenance record), process, or facility related to the investigation;
(3) inspect and test any building components, materials, and artifacts related to the building failure; and
(b) Avoiding unnecessary interference and preserving evidence
An inspection, test, or other action taken by a Team under this section shall be conducted in a way that—
(1) does not interfere unnecessarily with services provided by the owner or operator of the building components, materials, or artifacts, property, records, process, or facility; and
(c) Coordination
(1) With search and rescue efforts
A Team shall not impede, and shall coordinate its investigation with, any search and rescue efforts being undertaken at the site of the building failure.
(2) With other research
A Team shall coordinate its investigation, to the extent practicable, with qualified researchers who are conducting engineering or scientific (including social science) research relating to the building failure.
(3) Memoranda of understanding
The National Institute of Standards and Technology shall enter into a memorandum of understanding with each Federal agency that may conduct or sponsor a related investigation, providing for coordination of investigations.
(d) Interagency priorities
(1) In general
Except as provided in paragraph (2) or (3), a Team investigation shall have priority over any other investigation of any other Federal agency.
(2) National Transportation Safety Board
If the National Transportation Safety Board is conducting an investigation related to an investigation of a Team, the National Transportation Safety Board investigation shall have priority over the Team investigation. Such priority shall not otherwise affect the authority of the Team to continue its investigation under this chapter.
(3) Criminal acts
If the Attorney General, in consultation with the Director, determines, and notifies the Director, that circumstances reasonably indicate that the building failure being investigated by a Team may have been caused by a criminal act, the Team shall relinquish investigative priority to the appropriate law enforcement agency. The relinquishment of investigative priority by the Team shall not otherwise affect the authority of the Team to continue its investigation under this chapter.
(4) Preservation of evidence
If a Federal law enforcement agency suspects and notifies the Director that a building failure being investigated by a Team under this chapter may have been caused by a criminal act, the Team, in consultation with the Federal law enforcement agency, shall take necessary actions to ensure that evidence of the criminal act is preserved.

Price Floral, located at 44 W. Main Street is owned and operated by Jackie Davis and can be reached at 637-2731. She has been serving Carbon County and the surrounding areas for 28 years.
Jackie was born and raised in North Dakota and moved here over 28 years ago. Upon moving to Carbon County, Jackie began working at Price Floral and later purchased the business. She has been working in the floral business for more than 30 years, which translates to zillions of hours spent at Price Floral and countless stress-filled moments. Mrs. Davis truly has a love for what she does and the people she does it for. It is that love that has pulled her through these 30+ years and keeps her begging for more.
Price Floral is a floral shop as its title insinuates, but the business has and is growing to meet the needs of our developing community. The floral shop offers home décor from keepsakes novelties to conversation pieces. They carry decorative wall pieces such as mirrors, framed art and motivating plaques. Jackie and her staff at Price Floral offer a wide range of services that include personal wedding consulting, wedding cakes and rentals, on site decorating for special events and holidays, along with interior decorating consultation. Being a well seasoned florist, Jackie holds to her credit a standing invitation to a Christmas show held in Salt Lake City, which provides an opportunity for top Utah florists to showcase their talent.
Jackie has developed many, many talents that she willingly shares with others on a daily basis. She is musically talented with a beautiful singing voice. She has worked with youth groups in singing productions over the years. She has developed her own line of beauty soaps, which are available at her shop. She is also a wonderful cook and loves to cook German cuisine.
This successful business-woman has served in the past as president of Downtown Alive, coordinates the parades for St. Patrick's Day and International Days and has been coordinating the Spooktacular for Halloween. And with all her community involvement, she still finds time to be a mother, grandmother and loving wife to a beautiful family. She is involved in many auxiliaries for her church and is a wonderful, loyal friend. If there is a job to be done, Jackie not only gets it done, but does it with a big bang! She doesn't know how to do something just to say it is done, she does it to blow your socks off.
If you are in the market for beautiful arrangements, home decor or a wedding, Price Floral is the place to go and Jackie Davis is the person to talk to.

New Japanese Trend: Tooth Tattoos
Tooth "Tattoos" Make a Fashion Statement in Japan
Like us on Facebook
Tooth decals from brands like ToothArt already exist here in the US, but they've just never caught on as a high-fashion item. If the haute young ladies of Tokyo have any say, however, they may well become a new thing. Given that grills have enjoyed lasting popularity on our side of the Pacific, it might not be that odd to see tooth decals become a cool accessory, too.

I attended the game Friday night.
The Final score was a 10-0 loss so there isn't much I can talk about here in a positive light. I'll try.
Christian Walker- The baseball gods did not want me to see him play. He walked on 4 pitches, got hit by a pitch and flied out on a first pitch. Needless to say, I really need to see him play again.
Roderick Bernadina- Still a work in progress out in CF. He probably should have caught a ball that ended up going for a triple. On the other hand, he had some OK plate appearances, nothing better than what I saw the last 2 times. His bat speed is ridiculous, and I still think he is the most exciting player on the team. Christian Walker is going to give him a run for his money though.
Joel Hutter- To put it bluntly, he has no range whatsoever at SS. He's really slow up the middle and I haven't been too impressed with him defensively at all. His arm is not the strongest either. Remember, this is a guy who signed for 10K in the 10th round. I'd be curious to see him moved to 2B though. He does make some nice transfers on relays. That was the one thing that stood out for me. Certainly above average in that aspect.
Jose Nivar- This guy has a damn ARM. He was popping it around 96 MPH. Of course, he also cannot locate a pitch to save his life. He can't hit the broadside of a barn as Don mentioned to me. However, you simply cannot teach fast. He indeed has a huge skill there, and location and command are going to be his downfall. His secondary stuff is just whatever to me. Nothing entirely impressive either. Nivar is a little old for the NYPL but I can completely see why the Orioles are holding onto him. If a light ever clicks with him, watch out.
Sebastian Vader- I'm going to write an in-depth column on him. Should be out by Wednesday I'd say.

[quote author=BigFatJoe link=board=6;threadid=5976;start=0#59906 date=1045076965]
let the war begin...
I have always loved blackbox. I don't like fluxbox tabs, and if you turn em off...it just seems like an overly-complicated blackbox.
Currently though, I have downloaded and am using openbox.
the only of advantage I know of with openbox (vs. blackbox) is that the community is a little more welcoming. Can someone point me in the right direction: b/c to me it seems like the blackbox community is not making much of a scene on the net anymore. I'm pretty sure people are still hacking away at it, but there doesn't seem like there is any one site which combines and publishes the patches, etc. I'll try out openbox, but I will most likely stay between openbox/blackbox for all my needs.
IIRC, if development of BB isn't dead, it's almost stagnant. Hence the creation of OpenBox. That could explain a weak presence. BB is one of the best WMs I've ever seen, but it was created and maintained by one guy. I'm pretty sure he got busy and stopped, so openbox was formed. Then again, I'm just talking out of my ass, so what do I know?

Based on the information your print is a mass produced item made for the Decorator market and originally sold through department stores. This company produced a wide variety of prints depicting flowers, fruit and vegetables, birds, sailing ships and other popular scenes. Most we have seen by this publisher date from the mid 1940's through the early 1950's.

Ko Samui is the idyllic tropical island located in the Gulf of Thailand. This emerald island has been charming its visitors ever since the first tourists arrived in the early of 1970's. Those who experience Ko Samui are rewarded with an idyllic tropical retreat with little traffic, white-sand beaches, a sapphire-blue sea, an abundance of tantalizing Thai cuisine and unusually warm and friendly people. Ko Samui is gifted with such an incredibly rich variety of beaches and bays, capes and coves, which it seems like several islands rolled into one. This Thailand's third largest island also consists of forest hills of limestone and granite, and the shoreline is made up of countless coconut palm-fringed beaches and bays. Despite the mass of resort development, Ko Samui still maintains the classic image of a tropical beach fringed by coconut palms.
.............Why Chaweng Beach is the most popular beach in Ko Samui?
Chaweng beach is the most breathtaking combination of long uninterrupted white sandy beaches on the eastern coastline of Ko Samui. Forking out into the sea is a mini-peninsula, in the midst of these stretches of fine sandy coastal expanses, with the main Chaweng Beach to the north and Chaweng Noi Beach to its south. This is well known as the ideal site to watch sunrise over the ocean waves and sunset in the backdrop of the plush tree groves on Ko Samui's main land behind. It is also an ideal place for swimming and sunbathing.

Does anyone have any horror stories from yesterday's LSAT?

Why not take the GRE and the MCAT while you're at it?

Does anyone have a used Blueprint LSAT Prep book, or better yet, the video course, that they are looking to sell?
Law School Applications / Expunged Records« on: October 31, 2012, 08:44:23 PM »
I have a misdemeanor charge of battery which was dismissed for lack of evidence by the prosecutor. I filed a application to expunge my record of the arrest, and it was approved. I have read, both on LSD and other forums, about expunged records and the need to disclose them. It is my intention to be completely honest and candid in both my LS application and the application for the bar in whatever state I intend on practicing. But I am curious about which jurisdictions I don't HAVE to disclose it. I also know that there is at least one state (New Hampshire) whose bar application specifically states that you are NOT to disclose annulled/expunged charges/arrests/convictions.
My question... is New Hampshire the only state that specifically excludes annulled/expunged charges from mandatory reporting on a bar application or are there others? If there are others, which jurisdictions do you know that specifically exclude the annulled/expunged charges?
Please, I do not want to hear about how you can skirt the reporting requirement by selectively reading the question, or a Webster's definition of "expunged." In looking at the statute for West Virginia (where my record was expunged) it looks as though I shouldn't have to report it anywhere... and that's fine and good, but I am not going to get into a pissing match with the bar examiners... if I am applying for the bar where I must disclose it, I will. If I am applying in NH, I will not. I want to know if there are any other states whose bar apps are like NH's.
West Virginia Code 61-11-26(k) states, The proceedings in the matter shall be deemed never to have occurred. The person whose record is expunged shall not have to disclose the fact of the record or any matter relating thereto on any type of application.

The USO Volunteer of the Year is selected from the USO's four geographic regions (USO Europe, USO Pacific, USO Southwest Asia and USO U.S.). A panel that consists of USO Regional Vice Presidents, two members of the USO Board of Governors and the Senior Vice President of Operations for the USO reviews the nominations of four regional USO Volunteers of the Year to determine the final honoree.
USO Director of Volunteer Services Betsy McWhirt profiles the 2012 USO Volunteer of the Year.
Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. At least that's what they said about the old Timex watches that got stomped on by elephants and frozen on the ski tips of a professional downhill racer. The lickin' USO Kandahar's SGT Richard Schuh took, however, was a little more intense. After he was attacked by small arms fire and rocket propelled grenades, he suffered shrapnel wounds to his side and elbow. During his recovery, SGT Schuh attended a "smoothie" event given by the USO at the Wounded Warrior housing, and he instantly knew he had a calling.
The very next day, Schuh, who wanted to give back to those supporting him as he convalesced, headed to the USO to volunteer. During his first week with the USO, he ran what's called a 550 Cuff event all by himself, where more than 50 people showed up to make special bracelets. He took the lead creating and organizing an NFL Fantasy Football League, promoted and ran United Through Reading® projects, and recruited other wounded warriors to volunteer. From approximately August 15 through September 3, 2011, he donated a whopping 198 hours to the USO including many 10 to 12-hour days.
There were days when Richard was in excruciating pain, yet he would refuse to take a break because he said working at the USO was a good distraction. In spite of his wounds, he was always courteous and brought out the best in everyone. He served as an inspiration to others showing them that even though you may be wounded, you are still important and vital to the mission.
Selected as Southwest Asia's Volunteer of the Year, we have a feeling that SGT Richard Schuh is going to be tickin' for a long time, lifting the spirits of all who encounter him!
Schuh will be honored along with five service member honorees at the 2012 USO Gala held November 2nd in Washington, D.C.
We would love to hear from you.

Well now.Sunday, July 18th, 2010
As I write this post the sleeper comedy hit "Mystery Men" is ending on TV, and of course, the credits are playing us out with Smashmouth's "All Star." Luckily, it's been long enough since I've heard that song that it's cute again. Now it's the second verse, I take it back. I'm deciding which comedy to watch "New Adventures of Old Christine" or "Sons of Tucson." Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Wanda Sykes, or Joe Lo Truglio. Hmmph. Channel flipping it is.
I'm in Canada. Yeah, THAT Canada. I've been to the others and let me tell you those Canadas just aren't Canadian enough. Stick with the one true Canada. It's Canada.
If you can't tell by that last paragraph, I've been very isolated. Mainly because I live alone. That, and I don't know anyone is Vancouver. Sure, I know the cast and crew of my show, but the crew are locals and after a 14 to 15 hour day, do you wanna hang out with someone from work? No, you wanna go home to your actual friends and family. And the cast? All married. They don't wanna see me. Either they go back to LA to spend time with their spouse, or their spouse is here visiting. And if neither of those things are happening, married people hang out with other married people – to talk about being married.
Maybe I'm projecting.
Luckily, being isolated leaves me plenty of time to dwell on these things instead of going out and meeting people. What am I talking about? I don't know how to meet people. Everyone I know was discovered in forced situations like school, work, stand up shows. You're forced to be around people and gravitate toward people you like at some point. At least that's how I do it. I believe everyone gets to the age where you no longer make friends, you just lose them. Unless, you're fortunate enough to have myriad forced situations.
Canadian news is on. Drownings on one channel, stabbing on one, and a shooting on the other. Ah, Feels like home.

A statewide test of about 2,500 deer showed no sign of chronic wasting disease in New York, the state Department of Environmental Conservation reported Friday.
The disease, which causes degeneration of the brain, abnormal behavior, emaciation and death in deer, elk and moose, is found in 22 states, and is in the same family of illness as mad cow disease. It has not been reported in humans, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Testing for the disease has taken place annually since 2002. The last confirmed case of it was found in 2005.
The state reported that in the past few years researchers have altered their assessments to take population density, deer age and sex into account, ensuring the collection of samples from the highest-risk areas.
The states tests were aided by public reporting of sick animals, DEC said, allowing researchers to perform full necropsies to determine cause of illness or death for the animals.
DEC thanks cooperating hunters, meat processors and taxidermists that contributed samples for testing, department Commissioner Joe Martens said. Successful CWD surveillance depends on all of us.
The states concerns about the illness come as it was found in Pennsylvania in both captive white-tailed deer and wild, free-ranging white-tailed deer in 2012. DEC rules forbid hunters going to Pennsylvania and other states with the disease to bring back whole carcasses.
The department said prions, the protein that causes the disease, concentrate in tissues like the brain and spinal cord and remain infectious to other deer. However, hunters are allowed to bring meat and cleaned skull caps and capes back.
The department said that preventing the movement of infected animals was the key to avoiding the diseases spread. Among the advice given to hunters to avoid spreading the disease was to debone meat and use synthetic alternatives to deer urine, which can carry the infectious prions.
More information about the states work to stop the spread of the disease can be found at http://wdt.me/rgEnnz.

This August Belfast is set to host the World Police and Fire Games, following in the footsteps of some of the world's greatest cities (including New York, Barcelona, Stockholm, Melbourne and many others). The Games have been running biennially since the 1980's and are made up of serving and retired fire, police, and prison officers from around the world.
The official website for WPFG (http://www.2013wpfg.com) estimates a staggering 10,000 competitors, 56 sports, and participation from 70 countries. The entire event is set to bring in revenue of between £16m and £21m, with the added bonus of raising the city's international profile immeasurably.
The WPFG events will take place in a number of different locations across the city with the sports ranging from the more usual (e.g. badminton, tennis, golf and swimming etc.) to the more unusual competitive activities (e.g. dodgeball, stair race, SWAT, ultimate firefighter etc.). The fortnight of the WPFG is set to be unforgettable and exciting, bringing thrills and exhilaration to all those who attend.
Where better to book your accommodation for the World Police and Fire Games than here at Maranatha House, a WPFG Approved accommodation provider. Time is running out fast until the event kicks off, where better to book your stay than in the guesthouse that has been granted the Trip Advisor Award for Excellence for the 2nd year running. Not only is Maranatha House in an excellent location – close to the city centre and main tourist attractions while also close to many of the grounds where WPFG events will take place. We also offer our guests parking facilities, free wi-fi, cooked and continental breakfast, and a guest lounge for groups to use.
Our staff are friendly and efficient and will do their utmost to provide you with the best quality and service during your stay.

Planning a weekend in Belfast this year?
This month we have decided to offer some suggestions of activities, places to eat and drink in order for you to make the most out of our great wee city.
First things first, be sure to book your room in Maranatha House (of course!!) in advance to avoid disappointment. Here we offer free wi-fi, fantastic breakfast, parking and a great location as well as helpful and friendly staff.
After a long day of travelling we suggest you check out some of our local pubs. We recommend the Errigle Inn – easy to get to from Maranatha House, live music on set nights, good food and efficient staff. Relax and have the craic over a few drinks before returning to your room here in the guesthouse.
Get up for a delicious breakfast the following morning to fuel up for the day. We highly recommend then taking a black taxi tour of the city (especially if you have never been to Belfast before). Our receptionist will be more than happy to arrange this for you and you will be picked up from the guesthouse and dropped off wherever you want to go. The tour offers a fantastic insight into the history of Belfast, with a large focus on The Troubles. All of the drivers providing these tours will regail fascinating stories of incidents past and bring you to see the infamous Belfast murals and peace walls. The black taxi tour is certainly something you will remember long after you depart from Belfast.
Once the tour is over, ask the driver to drop you off in Stranmillis, on the south side of the city. This is the student area of Belfast. We highly recommend going to 'Got Milk?' for a milkshake. Here they have almost every flavour of milkshake imaginable. Think of any chocolate bar or sweets and they will have it as a milkshake. Once purchased take your milkshake and exit left down the hill. You are now walking towards Queen's University – an astounding beautiful building. Beside Queens is Belfast Botanic Gardens. It is well worth taking a stroll through the gardens (while enjoying your delicious milkshake) and perhaps sitting for a while to bask in the beauty of the gardens if time permits. If milkshakes and gardens are not your thing, we recommend taking a walk through the Ulster Museum (located beside the Botanical Gardens). Entrance into the museum is free and we can personally attest to it remaining on of our favourite places in Belfast.
So now its lunch-time! There is a plethora of great cafe's and restaurants in Belfast. If we have to decide on recommendations for one weekend in the city, however we suggest Soul Food on the Ormeau Road for healthy food of very high quality. All of the cakes and traybakes in Soul Food are homemade and delicious! The cafe is located no more than 15 minutes walk from Maranatha House – a delightful walk through the park – should you wish to return to the guesthouse for a mid-afternoon nap (you are on holidays after all).
If you find yourself full of energy and longing for further activities to occupy you until dinner time we suggest heading to the Titanic Belfast. Jump in a taxi or alternatively take a jaunt down along the path by the river (this will take about 50mins). With over 800,000 visitors in its first year, the Titanic Tour is sure to be very interesting and undoubtedly memorable. It will take you approx. 3 hours to get through the centre so make sure you're time is budgeted well.
You shouldn't have any problems getting a taxi from outside the exhibition centre back to Maranatha House where you may wish to return to at this stage to change and get ready for dinner.
If you are a fan of seafood, we highly recommend Mourne's Seafood Bar located in the city centre. Mourne's is nationally and internationally recognised for excellence. For this reason, you will need to book your table in advance. During the summer months you may need to book at least 2-3 weeks in advance, especially for a weekend night. It will be worth it! Pop next door to Kelly's Cellars for pre/post dinner drinks. Kelly's boasts to being one of the oldest bars in Belfast and you will quite often find yourself walking through the door to a traditional Irish music session. Up for a night out in the city? Head for the Cathedral Quarter for your choice of excellent bars and pubs.
Sunday morning should be spent at St. George's Market. This is a wonderful craft market that takes place every weekend. A stroll through the market is a real feast for the sense. Butchers, bakers, candlestickmakers – you'll find them all here. As well as a music stall trading vinyls, antiques stalls, vietnamese scarves and art, 2nd hand books, and more. Amidst all this trading is live music set up in the centre of the market where you can buy a coffee sit and listen to the music and bustle and people-watch.
From here it is a 3 minute walk to the city centre (city hall). Perhaps take the opportunity now to do some shopping. We recommend heading to Victoria Square Shopping Centre. Once you've had your fill of the shops head to Muriels for lunch. The style here is a little boudouir and chic, cosy and comfortable. The food is excellent (we especially recommend the mussels) and they offer an extensive cocktail menu. If you are finding it difficult to choose off the menu, ask about their cocktail of the month. It is usually safe to assume that this will be delicious.
If there is a game on, head out to Ravenhill Stadium after lunch to catch an Ulster rugby game. Home to Ulster Rugby, an afternoon in Ravenhill is a great day out. Good fun, good entertainment, and a bar (for those of you wanting a pint). Once again you are within minutes of Maranatha House should you wish to return to your room before dinner.
For night number 2's dinner we recommend D'arcy's at Shaftesbury Square. Reasonably priced, the food here is beyond excellent in terms of both taste and value. Quite often, D'arcy's will have a deal on if you order before 7pm. The food is hearty and wholesome (just what you might need after a late night on the town the night before). Pop next door to Lavery's bar for a post-dinner drink. You will never have a problem getting a taxi from directly outside the door here.
As you can surmise from the length of this entry, our wee city of Belfast has lots to offer and we found it very difficult to pick out only certain things to recommend to our readers. Perhaps in future entries we will discuss topics separately – restaurants, pubs, outdoor activities, indoor activities. Be assured, in any case, that should you come to stay with us – be it for a day, a weekend, a week, or a month – we will not run out of recommendations and suggestions for you!! We look forward to welcoming you…..

What does 2013 hold for Wilmer Flores?
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
In a post to Minor League Ball, John Sickels downgrades Mets 3B prospect Wilmer Flores from a B+ to a B-, despite saying, "I am very impressed with the improvement he showed with the bat."
The knock on Flores is his fielding. He has always read like a guy without a position. I've watched him play third and second, where he looks 'good enough,' though also a bit amateurish.
"His arm works just fine at third and he doesn't make an excessive number of errors, but his range is mediocre," Sickels explains. "His bat profiles better at second base, but he probably lacks the requisite quickness to play there long-term. He doesn't run well enough to be an attractive outfield option, but will he hit enough to play first base? Obviously, there are still a lot of questions about Flores, but his stock with the bat has definitely rebounded."
I still bet Flores is eventually traded, maybe with another top pitcher on the rise, in a deal that brings in a big-time piece of the puzzle. I don't expect this deal now, or this summer, or even next winter, but at some point Sandy Alderson will turn the page and look to deal from excess to fill in around his Wheelers, Harveys and d'Arnauds, and Ikes and Wrights and Nieses. In their boom years, the Phillies developed lots of prospects, they kept some, but traded others, like Anthony Gose (for Roy Oswalt), Lou Marson (for Cliff Lee) and d'Arnaud (for Roy Halladay). I see Flores in this camp. I like Wilmer's potential, but I just don't see how he fits in with the Mets (especially with David Wright locked in long term).
This is why I hope the Mets keep him at third base. As Sickels suggests, Flores has the most value there. It's a weak position all across baseball, just ask the Rangers and Mike Olt. This year, Flores may end up with 30 home runs in the hitter-friendly Las Vegas ballpark… as a third baseman. If the Mets question his future in Queens, because he doesn't have a defined position, I prefer they do everything they can to protect his value in the minor leagues… especially since he's still just 21 years old…

Pro-homosexual groups have targeted a Minnesota school district just outside of Minneapolis for its unwillingness to discuss homosexuality in the classroom. The groups point to seven suicides within two years at the school district as proof that the subject should be addressed by the schools, since parents and friends say that four of those students were either "gay," perceived to be "gay," or questioning their own sexuality. A number of groups have filed a lawsuit against the school district, and the federal government has indicated it will perform a formal investigation into the district's policy.
In 2009, the Anoka-Hennepin School District adopted a policy that indicates staff must "remain neutral on matters regarding sexual orientation" and that "such matters are best addressed within individual family homes, churches, or community organizations."

They are few and far between. There were a few I was really looking forward to but were either cancelled or never received an english release.
Good luck finding one (out of the current ones) that you like. A lot of people really liked Atlantica but it's been year since I've even looked at it. I'm not sure how Pay to Win it is or even how the community is doing. Since it's free, you could at least give it a try though. No harm there.

What the hell is a Pwarp?
wakfu is the only thing i can think of, its similar to final fantasy tactics
There was TS Online but that got closed down
Dofus or Wakfu are the best turn based games on the market right now.
Dofus being the eldest brother with a lot more content and Wakfu being the relatively newer sibling with more potential but not nearly enough substance.

By PATSY STODDARDEmery County Progress editor
A cave-in at an Emery County mine on Friday afternoon killed one miner and left another injured.
Elam Jones, 29, of Huntington, was killed during the cave-in. Dallen McFarlane, 26, suffered injuries during the cave-in.
Emery County Sheriff Greg Funk reported that the Emery County Sheriff's Office Dispatch received an emergency call of a mine cave-in at the Rhino Mine in Bear Canyon, 10 miles west of Huntington.
The call came in at 3:12 p.m. reporting that two coal miners were buried in the cave-in.
Emery County Sheriff's Office personnel as well as two ambulances were dispatched to the scene. McFarlane was transported by ambulance to Castleview Hospital in Price where he was treated and released.
Joe Dougherty, a spokesman for the Utah Department of Public Safety's Division of Emergency Management, sent out a tweet at 6:09 p.m. reading "sad news from Rhino mine... Team has recovered body of second miner from the collapse. Heartbreaking day for Emery County."
Rescue efforts continued in the hopes of finding Jones. Members of the Rhino Mine Rescue Team recovered Jones' body a few hours later, according to reports.
Jones is the son of Huntington City Councilwoman Julie Jones, and her husband Derk.
Funk said the miners were pulling pillars at the time of the incident. Jones was running the miner and Dallen McFarlane was the assistant to the miner operator. Funk said it was reported the portion of the roof that came down was two feet thick and 10-12 feet in length. Jones was buried in the collapse and was reported to be unresponsive after the cave-in. Jones appeared to have died immediately from his injuries, being crushed by the rock and coal.
Investigation of the mine cave-in will be conducted by MSHA.
Jones and McFarlane both participated in the rescue efforts at the Crandall Canyon Mine in August 2007. The disaster left nine people dead, including three miners and six rescue workers who died during an implosion 10 days later.
Jones leaves behind his wife Jaqlynn and two young children.
The Jones family said Elam loved coal mining. He loved his friends and co-workers at the mine. Elam was an avid hunter, fisherman and snowmobiler. He loved the outdoors and spending time with his family.
