Question on Modes and Arpeggios
I'm taking the leap into the world of music theory... I've been studying the modes lately and I haven't found much on modes that are relative to each other...that might not even be the right term? :confused:
So to my understanding:
Major Modes:
Minor Modes:
Would it be true that these modes are relative to each other?
Ionian - Aeolian
Lydian - Dorian
Mixolydian - Phrygian
Also would that mean that if I'm playing over a major key and I attempted to play a Dorian mode, it would actually be a lydian?
Secondly, I am going to explain my journey to a clusterf*** of an attempt at understanding what I'm playing.
I'm going to basically log what my thoughts and attempts to getting a grasp at this has been.
So this is what I've been playing alot recently. I love the sound of it:
Take this type of E Minor scale
It's: E, F#, G#, A, B, C# D
Taking it apart it's sharp #3 (G to G# right?) and an #7 (C to C#).
1. So I've been told that this is an arpeggio of E Dominant 7... but isn't E Dominant 7 simply : E G# B D? What is the sharp 7 doing there?
2. Also E Dominant is based off of a Major E Triad? So how is this minor scale a form of it?
3. Unless it's not a minor scale at all? It does sound more major than anything, but it works over E minor perfectly.
4. This leads me to take a look at the E Major Scale. It all makes a bit more sense now. It's got all of the same notes as what I've been playing but its got a flat 7, which is exactly what a dominant 7 chord is.
5.So if it is a type of E Major Scale, why does play so well over E Minor (specifically blues), and not E Major?
6. Secondly, I've been told this is a form of a Mixolydian Mode? I thought that given that this is a form of minor key then shouldn't it be a type of Phrygian mode?
I'm all messed up with this...
Any help is appreciated.
If you're playing over a major cadence/progression/key, then your playing major. Don't over think it it'll just get too complicated.
I would suggest learning all the notes on the fretboard COLD, and learning all your major and minor scales as a series of sounds and intervals, and then on top of that how all the non diatonic notes sound in a key. I have been trying to memorize the notes of the fretboard cold for the past month, and i can say that knowing the notes that you're playing is really the only way to do it. There aren't any cheat codes to music - this isn't a video game. You need to learn the thing back and forth.
So for you're ear i would suggest using functional ear trainer. learn all the notes and also all the notes diatonic to a key.
Good Luck and remember, have fun with it!
That second thing is just an E mixolydian shape...
E Mixolydian is a major mode and it works over a E Minor?
Aren't all of the modes that share the same notes relative to each other?
I mean C "ionian", D dorian, E phrygian, F lydian, G mixolydian and A "aeolian."
They all share the same notes as C major.
About that "sharp 7" - no, it's sharp 6th. C# is the 6th note, not the 7th. And that shape has D which is a minor 7th. Maybe you shouldn't be learning modes right now. They seem to confuse you.
But if you want to remember the different modes...
Ionian - same as major
Dorian - minor with a major 6th
Phrygian - minor with a flat 2nd
Lydian - major with a sharp 4th
Mixolydian - major with a minor 7th
Aeolian - same as minor
But really, you don't need to study modes, they aren't used that much any more. They are used as scales in some songs but that doesn't make the songs modal. When modes were used, there were no keys which have "replaced" the modes. Still I think it's good to know how different modes sound like.
some free but take it as you find it advice
1. So I've been told that this is an arpeggio of E Dominant 7... but isn't E Dominant 7 simply : E G# B D? What is the sharp 7 doing there?
E to C# is a major 6th
E to D is a minor (or flat) seventh interval
2. Also E Dominant is based off of a Major E Triad? So how is this minor scale a form of it?
Again you have written a 2 octave 'E mixoldian modal scale. '
3. Unless it's not a minor scale at all? It does sound more major than anything, but it works over E minor perfectly.
Its not a minor scale ...
4. This leads me to take a look at the E Major Scale. It all makes a bit more sense now. It's got all of the same notes as what I've been playing but its got a flat 7, which is exactly what a dominant 7 chord is.
5.So if it is a type of E Major Scale, why does play so well over E Minor (specifically blues), and not E Major?
the b3 and the #9 are enharmonically the same.
In blues it is often more simple to write G to G# than Fx (F double sharp) to G sharp.
In terms of a dominant 7th chord the b3 is actually a #9
6. Secondly, I've been told this is a form of a Mixolydian Mode? I thought that given that this is a form of minor key then shouldn't it be a type of Phrygian mode?
Errmm ????
every major chord has its relative minor. this is found by building a minor chord 3 semitones below the root of the major chord.
you could apply this to each degree of a major scale.
I = IVm
IV = IIm
V= IIIm
Maybe this is what you mean ?
Honestly, forget anything you've learned about modes.
Look into functional/diatonic harmony. That will be much more useful to you.
Mixolydian is dominant. Dominant is not major or minor.
I don't understand the question except insomuch as to say that if you think there is some sort of special relationship betwen Lydian and Dorian you are wrong.
All of the modes can be relative to each other.
C Ionian is relative to D Dorian is relative to E Phrygian is relative to F Lydian is relative to G mixolydian is relative to A Aeolian is relative to B Locrian.
But, really, don't use modes. Not useful.
No. If you are in a major context, let's say C major, and you're trying to play "D Dorian" you're playing C major. If you're trying to play F Lydian you're playing C major. If you're trying to play G Mixolydian you're playing in C major.
This is not an E minor scale. Three sharps mean your key is A if your context is major, F# is your context is minor.
You could, I suppose, think of this as E Mixolydian but that's a really confusing way to think about it because mode or key does not depend on where on the neck you play a given set of notes.
The only way this would be E-anything is if there were some quality to the music which forced the resolution to an E. The easiest way to do this is with a drone. However, in that context, it's still not minor.
As others have pointed out, there is no sharp 7. D is your 7th. It's flattened here. (In E major, you'd have a D#).
It isn't. This isn't minor.
You can blend parallel majors and minors. In fact, one could define the fundamental sound of rock'n'roll as being the blending of parallel majors and minors.
The most common ways you see this are by the use of minor thirds and 7ths over major chords and by the borrowing of chords from the parallel minor into the major.
What you have here is a major scale over minor chords, which is less common, but you still see it. (Probably the easiest way to think of it is major scale over a borrowed i chord). You'll notice that it doesn't work over E minor "perfectly" - there's a pretty big dissonance between the G-natural in an Em chord and the G# in the scale. You'll probably find that you have to be careful about that G#, apply a little nuance and understanding when you play it.
It's really neither. It's E major with a flat 7th, if you want to think about it that way. Flat 7ths are really really common in blues and blues-based music. Don't think of it as requiring a changing scale or changing key. It's just a flat 7th. You can use that if you want.
No. The minor 7th makes it dominant. You can't ignore that.
Dominant chords and scales are neither major nor minor. You can't selectively ignore the 7th.
the only modes in tonal music are major and minor
no ionian, no dorian, no aeolian. forget everything you've read and start from scratch.
also, a scale can't be dominant for christ's sake. that's a chord function. it might be based on the "dominant" chord, but unless it's used as an expansion of the V7 to resolve (and even then that would just be as a highlight to the chord function) it's just a major scale with a b7. you people overcomplicate everything.
Well, Hail, if you're applying CST (one of the few useful places of modes) then you're wrong.
You use Ionian and Lydian in place of major chords, Aeolian, Phrygian and Dorian in place of minor chords, and Mixolydian over dominant chords.
When I'm referring to a mode being major, minor, or dominant that's what I mean. This is a common nomenclature among jazz musicians doing CST stuff.
This is not particularly relevant to the original posters question or understanding, but talking about a scale being dominant is actually very relevant in certain (limited) contexts.
CST is an improvisational tool. i'm not saying it isn't valid, but as a method of analysis it falls flat on its face. it is convoluted, and accomplishes nothing that cannot be understood by thinking in a key.
the real difference is that thinking in a key gives you a view of the bigger picture.
With all due respect, I've heard some really big names is jazz say that they think that way.
I'm a little loathe to dismiss what they have to say, even if I don't normally think in CST terms myself.
that may be true, and it's certainly possible to amass some skill adopting the thought process of using CST as an analytical method. but ultimately, it detracts from the view of the bigger picture, and places the focus on the chord - it almost entirely refutes the idea of a key. might work in jazz, blues, and some more modern genres, but in classical music, a simple mozart minuet would have you hurdling your own leg. it's simply not a holistic perspective, and therefore, not one that should be adopted.
don't get me wrong - when i'm improvising over some sick chord changes, i'll sometimes fall back on CST (in addition to using my ear, naturally) because it's simply quicker to think that way. but personally, the only time i'd ever use CST as an analytical tool is if a piece is atonal. viewing music as based on a key doesn't work there, because there is no key. if a piece was to change keys very quickly (much like giant steps), it is still considered as functional harmony (unless anyone wants to argue that ii-V-I sequences aren't tonal).
the concepts of functional harmony are absolutely more salient, more important, and more encompassing than CST, and should be used first and foremost.
Well the last few posts confused me so I won't look too deep into them. And to the responders saying that Modes aren't important...I'm not doubting this but unless its sarcasm, thats going against literally everything I've heard about guitar improv.
That aside, I heavily appreciate the abundance of information in this thread and it cleared up alot of knots in my logic. Thank you everyone for this help!
that would be wise. it's complex stuff that will only confuse you until you have developed the understanding and gathered the experience necessary to make heads or tails of it.
has everything you've heard about guitar improv gotten you results? and have you seen it get other people results (and even then, are you sure it's improv)?
if you can't answer all three of those questions with a resounding "yes", i suggest you think about this with more clarity, because your current thought process isn't getting you results.
and get more experience, because, frankly, i'd wager a guess your experience with music isn't too broad (and if you do listen to a lot of different kinds of music, i'm then willing to wager that your analysis and understanding of what you've heard isn't very profound).
and i suggest you keep in mind that improvisation is far from the only medium in music. in fact, i highly suggest you get better at composition, which is far more important. i have met good composers who were also good improvisers, but i have never met good improvisers who were not good composers. why is this? simply put, good improvisation is nothing more than composition in real time. if you can't compose well when you have the chance to sit down and work, what makes you think you can compose when the metronome is ticking?
ultimately it's far more important to think of music in sounds, not in fancy scale names. unless, of course, you think the great painters saw their works in words, and not in colors.
and don't sweat the help! ultimately, it's what we're here for.
i've given my opinion on CST way more than enough times, but i'll keep this clear and concise
it's a fucking abomination
Quite simply, you've been talking to the wrong people and reading the wrong articles.
Modes really aren't important, anyone that says otherwise simply doesn't understand them properly.
The guys who say that you need to learn modes to improvise (I think) are referring to the scale shapes that have mode names, even though you aren't playing modally when you are playing them. They are all for example C major positions. The C major shape that starts with D is called "dorian shape" but it doesn't mean you are playing dorian scale or "in dorian". It's about the chord progression and if it resolves to C, you are playing C major all the time even if you were playing the "dorian shape."

Marketing Messaging by Tricia Andreassen
RISMEDIA, November 4, 2009—As the Internet continues to evolve and more prospective buyers begin their home search on the Web, it is crucial that real estate professionals keep their website in tip-top shape. The following five tips will help you get on the right track toward giving buyers and sellers the information they want and need.
1. Remember, It's Not About You…It's About Them
When buyers or sellers want information on moving, it's what's on their mind that is going to cause them to spend time on your site.
2. Have Highly Visible Buttons and Calls to Action
Have specific sections on your site that showcase your expertise in certain areas. See www.Kristan-Cole.com to see how quickly you can get information without the hassle.
3. Sprinkle Specific Property Searches – Increase Quality Lead Generation
On targeted pages of your website, add the ability for a site visitor to search for specific kinds of properties and in specific price ranges. Every page should creatively showcase listings. Think about even setting searches by farm area or neighborhood…now that's creative. See www.LindaHall.com/fort_mill to get an idea.
4. Generate Leads with a Strong IDX system
There can be huge differences between an IDX that just shows houses for sale and an IDX that has "clickable components" that generate high-quality leads. Visitors to your website who are searching for homes through your IDX will be prompted to register after viewing listing details, leading to more quality leads for you. Also, adding features such as "schedule an appointment," "e-mail listing," and "save" are key elements to consider.
5. Cultivate Leads and Stay in Front of Them
There is a big difference in lead inquiries and actual leads. You want to incubate the lead and keep them in front of you. Have automated letters go out to specific niches. For example, buyers looking for REOs or foreclosures should get specialized letters on those subjects, not information on general buying.

Tennessee Foreclosure Laws
Scroll down for state resources
Quick Facts
- Judicial Foreclosure Available: Yes
- Non-Judicial Foreclosure Available: Yes
- Primary Security Instruments: Deed of Trust, Mortgage
- Timeline: Typically 60 days
- Right of Redemption: Yes
- Deficiency Judgments Allowed: Yes
In Tennessee, lenders may foreclose on deeds of trusts or mortgages in default using either a judicial or non-judicial foreclosure
Judicial Foreclosure
The judicial foreclosure process is one in which the lender must file a complaint against the borrower and obtain a decree of sale from a court having jurisdiction in the county where the property is located before foreclosure proceedings can begin. Generally, if the court finds the borrower in default, they will give them a set period of time to pay the delinquent amount, plus costs. If the borrower does not pay within the set period of time, the court will then order the property to be sold.
Non-Judicial Foreclosure
The non-judicial process of foreclosure is used when a power of sale clause exists in a mortgage or deed of trust. A "power of sale" clause is the clause in a deed of trust or mortgage, in which the borrower pre-authorizes the sale of property to pay off the balance on a loan in the event of the their default. In deeds of trust or mortgages where a power of sale exists, the power given to the lender to sell the property may be executed by the lender or their representative, typically referred to as the trustee. Regulations for this type of foreclosure process are outlined below in the "Power of Sale Foreclosure Guidelines".
Power of Sale Foreclosure Guidelines
If the deed of trust or mortgage contains a power of sale clause and specifies the time, place and terms of sale, then the specified procedure must be followed. Otherwise, the non-judicial power of sale foreclosure is carried out as follows:
- A notice of sale must be published at least three (3) different times in a newspaper published in the county where the sale is to be made, with the first publication appearing at least twenty (20) days prior to the sale.
- Unless otherwise ordered, if no newspaper is published in said county, the notice of sale must be posted at least thirty (30) days in advance of the sale in at least five (5) public places within the county. At least one of these notices must be placed at the courthouse door and another in the neighborhood of the property itself.
- A notice of sale must also be served upon the borrower at least twenty (20) days prior to the date of sale if the borrower is in possession of the property.
- The sale must be held between the hours of 10:00 am and 4:00 pm for cash to the highest bidder. The sheriff of each county in the state of Tennessee may set a minimum acceptable price for the property as long as the price is equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%) of the fair market value.
- The successful bidder at the foreclosure sale will receive a certificate of sale and may be entitled to receive a deed once the borrowers right of redemption has expired.
Deficiency judgments are allowed in Tennessee and the borrower has a period of two (2) years to redeem the property, unless their right of redemption was waived in the original deed of trust.
More information on Tennessee foreclosure laws.
|Process Period
|Sale Publication
|Redemption Period
|40-45 Days
|20-25 Days
|730 Days
|Non-judicial foreclosures only
Pre-foreclosure Period
In Tennessee, court foreclosures are very rare. Out-of-court proceedings are customary and occur when a clause exists in a mortgage or deed of trust that authorizes the lender to sell the property if the borrower defaults. Once the borrower defaults on the payment, the trustee assigned in the deed of trust has the authority to begin the foreclosure process and advertise the property for sale.
The borrower may stop the foreclosure process prior to the sale by paying the total amount owed plus any applicable fees.
The typical foreclosure timeline is approximately two months.
Notice of Sale / Auction
If the deed of trust or mortgage contains a clause that specifies the time, place, and terms of sale, then the specified procedure must be followed.
The notice of foreclosure sale includes the names of the affected parties, a description of the property, and the date, time, and location of the sale. It also includes all liens on the property. The notice is published three times in a newspaper, with the first publication appearing at least 20 days prior to the foreclosure sale.
State statute does not require any further notification; however, it's not uncommon for the trustee to mail a notification of the sale to the borrower.
The sale is held by a trustee between 10:00am and 4:00pm. After the sale, the trustee transfers the ownership to the highest bidder.
Deeds of trust in Tennessee commonly do not allow the borrower to redeem the property after the sale. If this right is not waived, the borrower may redeem the property by paying the total debt plus costs within two years.

Deputies have arrested two men who they say assaulted two others with the butt of a shotgun during a drug dispute.
Onslow County deputies say it happened at a home on Wayne Road in Hubert.
They have charged Anthony Luna and Arande Walker, both of Hubert, with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury.
Deputies say the two went to confront Travis Napier and William Bogey over drugs. They say the two began assaulting Bogey and chased Napier as he tried to run from the home. Bogey was kicked and struck several times with the butt of the shotgun in the head and face.
Deputies say Walker ordered Bogey to place the barrel of the gun in his mouth, and when he refused Walker struck him again with the weapon. They say Walker then fired the shotgun in the air, demanding that Bogey put the barrel in his mouth. The other victim was also hit with the shotgun, having the imprint of the gun's butt on his face, according to deputies.
The whole thing was interrupted when another person arrived at the home.
Napier and Bogey were taken to the hospital by a friend. Napier was treated for his injuries and released while Bogey was transported to Vidant Medical Center in Greenville where he underwent surgery.
Luna and Walker where later arrested. Walker's bond was set at $300,000 and Luna's at $50,000.

Graduated filter effects can be applied just as easily. Select the tool and click where you want the strongest section of the filter effect and drag to the point where you want the effect to end.

A Halifax County middle school band teacher charged with showing students a pornographic video in the classroom was due in court Wednesday.
Archie McLeod III, 51, was arrested in December for showing the video to students at William R. Davie Middle School in Roanoke Rapids.
School officials said a student used a cell phone camera to record the teacher showing the pornographic video to students.
McLeod faces 11 counts of disseminating obscene material to minors and 11 counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Cold temperatures cancel, delay local schools
There wasn't a lot of snowfall across Elkhart County Tuesday, but freezing temperatures with wind chills below zero caused local schools to cancel or delay classes.
"Every one of these is in some respect a difficult decision," said Doug Hasler, Elkhart Community Schools' executive director of support services.
Elkhart Community Schools canceled classes Tuesday primarily because administrators didn't want "kids walking to school, kids standing at bus stops" in this weather, especially with walk zones around elementary schools of up to 1 mile and at middle and high schools of up to 2 miles, Hasler said. Administrators' weather delay and cancellation decisions largely hinge on the safety of students getting to and from school.
Meteorologists' predictions had the temperature rising through the morning, but not enough to make just a two-hour delay worthwhile, he said.
Elkhart and Penn-Harris-Madison were the two local school districts that canceled classes, according to The Elkhart Truth's reported delays and cancellations. Baugo, Concord, Goshen, Fairfield, Middlebury and Wa-Nee all had two-hour delays.
Diane Woodworth, superintendent of Goshen Community Schools, said that Goshen administrators called the two-hour delay because they thought the slightly warmer temperatures later in the morning would be sufficient for students to safely get to school. Goshen has 1-mile walk zone radius around its schools.
"I know that for many of our families child care can be an issue, even with just a two-hour delay," she said about why they went with the two-hour delay.
The delay also allowed for classes to start after sunrise, which Woodworth said makes it easier for students walking to school.

The Games
The history of the Arctic Winter Games begins in 1967, on the occasion of the Canada Winter Games in Quebec City. Stuart Hodgson and James Smith, then Commissioners of the Northwest Territories and Yukon, looked on while athletes from their jurisdiction were decisively bested in competition. The men realized that with a smaller pool of athletes and inadequate facilities and training, northern athletes couldn't effectively compete with their southern counterparts.
Thus, the idea for the Arctic Winter Games was born and developed through discussions between the commissioners and then Governor of the State of Alaska, Walter J. Hickel. Governor Hickel embraced the concept and the Arctic Winter Games Corporation, now the Arctic Winter Games International Committee, was formed in 1968.
The first Games, held in Yellowknife in 1970, were attended by 500 athletes, participants and coaches. Originally the three participating regions were the Northwest Territories, Yukon and Alaska. In the years that have followed, the Games have grown dramatically. Since the Games were first created, participating regions in the Games have grown from Alaska, the Northwest Territories and Yukon to include Northern Alberta, Northern Quebec (Nunavik), Nunavut, the Russian province of Yamal, Greenland and the Sami people of Norway and Finland.
With the continuing support of the governments, host communities, corporate sponsorships and thousands of individual volunteers and supporters, the Games continue to shine as an outstanding example of international amateur athletic competition, community pride and cultural exchange. From its modest beginnings, the Games have evolved and grown to the point where over 2,000 athletes, coaches, mission staff, officials and cultural performers participated in the 2006 Arctic Winter Games in Kenai, Alaska. And now, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories has been chosen to be part of this international exchange.
Come join us for the 20th Arctic Winter Games in Yellowknife from March 9—15, 2008 for a "Celebration of Sport and Culture."

CSCA 2014 - Media Studies Interest Group Reminder - October 4th Deadline for CSCA Submissions
Hello, CSCA Media Studies Interest Group Members! I wanted to give you one last reminder that your submissions to the Media Studies Interest Group for the upcoming CSCA conference are due THIS Friday! I've attached a link to the call: http://csca-net.org/aws/CSCA/pt/sp/callforpapers_media. Once again, the submission deadline is THIS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4th!!!
To refresh your memory, you discussed several exciting panel possibilities at your meeting in April:
~ An examination of political economy and critiquing productions.
~ Elevating traditional media theory to demonstrate how they apply in a new media environment.
~ An examination of cloud media with a form like BioShock, looking at how the new media environment elevates the audience into producers online.
~ Elevating public space.
~ An examination of print journalism in Minneapolis as they are one of the only major cities with two papers. Discussion of editorial hold and how it continues. It was suggested to invite the desk chief of each paper for a panel.
~ A debate that would elevate the conversation between popular culture and media studies. It would examine elements such as methods and artifacts in order to define spaces.
~ Involving the Media Education Foundation. It was suggested to screen an M.E.F. video and hold a subsequent discussion along with someone from MEF to provide institutional perspective. It was also suggested that there could be a live documentary of it in conjunction with the original media call.
~ Suggestion for the pre-conference of a production bootcamp with a theme of "use what you have."
If you have any questions, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. I look forward to your submissions!

This game does not have any comments yet. Be the first person to share your thoughts!
Jul. 10, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) A little secret that you might not notice in a typical playthrough: If you talk to Gallovar after saving Goznor from the zombies, he'll give you a yalortian amulet, which can teach your paladin friend green lightning. Figured I should mention it because none of the top comments do and neither does the walkthrough.
Jun. 18, 2014
Under rating threshold (hideshow) "Well, I'd only kill a guy if he killed me first!" - Best quote ever
Mar. 17, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) This game might as well be one of the best Flash RPGs one may see on the Internet. The mix of old, SNES-like graphics and refined, tasteful artwork at the battle scenes is great; the gameplay very straightforward and gives a slight twist to the RPG genre; the inter-chapter save feature amazing (I've never seen such a feature before, and I think only the developer/s of this game have done it!) and innovative, and the dialogue and story just plain fun, and very amusing at times. Very fun game, engaging and very much worth your time! 5/5
Jul. 15, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) A fast paced TbT RPG adventuring game. It has a deep, perplexing storyline filled with twists, suspicions, sadness, and laughter. A epic series, to say the least. It will keep you on the edge of your seat till' the end. A good time waster, i have been playing for 2 hours straight just now. Filled with imagination, monsters, weapons, spells, and many things to keep you occupied such as dungeon hunting or exploring and even shopping, it's filled to the brim with everything a RPG lover could want.
Jul. 8, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) A tip for people looking to transfer their saves over to Mardek 3... Make sure to transfer all allies' items to either Mardek or to Item Storage before making your "End of Chapter 2" save. You won't get the opportunity to get those precious equipments and potential skills back at the start of Chapter 3 (if at all). Also, you don't have to worry about stripping your characters before the "final scene," since you'll be able to access item storage and everyone's inventory at the end screen, including characters no longer in your party. I hope this helps anyone's concerns about moving their saves to the next chapter.
Apr. 19, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) SPOILER: 1st key: in Social Fox's Tomb (after killing Moric the first time return where he was and there'll be the entrance to Social Fox's Tomb) ; 2nd key: in a hidden chest in Tainted Grotto L2, just south of where you defeated the Saviors ; 3rd key: 10% chance to be dropped by the zombies in Canonia (if you have killed all of them but didn't get it, leave Canonia then return) ; 4th key: given by Gope in the Goznor inn if you had spared him at the Gem Mine keep this comment alive! SPECIAL SWORD Defeat the dragon and take "Burial Sword" in Social Fox Tomb. Keep this going.

Jul. 8, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) @Pseudolonewolf You may not see this but I might as well say it anyway, this is the best flash game I have ever seen in my life. It has great (and hilarious) dialogue and a great and deep storyline, lets summarize it all: it's a masterpiece. I hope to see more from you and don't keep us in suspense, we're addicted. Thank you.

Under rating threshold (hideshow) "Ill only kill a guy if he kills me first." 5/5
Mar. 27, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) It's funny how people mostly ignore the fact that pseudo updated all the games so that none of them will feel obsolete because of the new game. Something many game designers choose not to do making playing their game less repeatable after playing a better sequel because they feel like the graphics or gameplay become worse.

Jul. 11, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Upgrading your characters is simply a matter of finding a wearable piece of gear with a skill on it. When highlighting gear you can tab left/right with the arrow keys. The middle tab shows what skills the gear has. Equip the piece, and then go to the skill menu. Tab through the skill types till you find your new skill and equip it with the x button. You can use these equipped skills as long as you have the associated piece of gear. However, by mastering the skill you get to keep it for good. You train the skills by either using them (spell types) or successfully fulfilling s certain react condition. For attack skills you need to get a successful react with a normal attack, defense react while getting hit, magic defense react while getting hit with magic etc... Hope that helps.

Under rating threshold (hideshow) In case you missed it (I know I did the first few times), if you return to the gems mines after defeating the bandit leader, you can explore all three paths and get a bunch of chests and one of the miners gives you a pickaxe pendant.
Apr. 10, 2008
Under rating threshold (hideshow) If you're going to give the game a low score, give reasons why. Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to get a comment simply saying "1/5" for no reason?! How would you feel if you made a game and got comments like that? When commenting, imagine yourself as the person *receiving* the comment, and think "how would I feel about getting a comment like this on something that I made?" (I know I should just ignore the haters and everything, but it's sort of hard since they just don't seem to get that games are actually made by real people... And they're hurting the game's score.)

Under rating threshold (hideshow) That lovely moment when you realise you can heal everyone in the party, or attack all enemies, by using the right and left arrows respectively. Makes crowd control SO much easier...
May. 9, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Overall Great game, and I'm sure everyone here agrees with me. However, my only complaint would be the system in which your characters learn skills.... I'm not in any way saying that this system is flawed... its just that as a completionist, not having every skill available before i move on just EATS AWAY AT MY SOUL!!!

Under rating threshold (hideshow) This game is just awesome, 5/5. And for people that don't know this, when you master a skill, meaning when you max the mastery, it mean that when ever you take off the item that you get the skill from, you get to keep that skill. Now, this may seem like 'no shit sherlock' to some of you, but there may be someone else out there that doesn't know that so ya :D Just so you know :]

Under rating threshold (hideshow) If you talk to one of the miners in the Gem Cave after you've defeated the boss, he gives you a Pickaxe Pendant. Also, remember to return to the Guard Captain to receive 1,000 gold after you clear the Tainted Grotto. Bump!

What Cubin Meant: Reader Entries
They did better than Cubin herself.
" ... or does that mean because my sons have blond hair and blue eyes that they are black? Does that mean no one in Congress can buy a gun because we're all being treated for drugs? No, of course not. All these things are ridiculous, as is this law."
This is creative, and appealingly French, but really, you could say this about any law. It's not an argument.
Hypothesis No. 5: Cubin's sons will suffer reverse discrimination. From reader Earl Parrish:
" ... or does that mean because my sons are white they will be denied weapons to show that the system is nondiscriminatory just as little old ladies are searched at the airports for weapons and bombs?"
This is excellent. But by this logic, the amendment would discriminate against everybody. By definition, no law can discriminate against everybody.
Hypothesis No. 6: Cubin's sons won't be able to get drug treatment. From reader Mark Hubbard.
" ... or does that mean because mysons own guns, they can't be treated for drug problems?"
No law can be enforced retroactively.
Hypothesis No. 7: Cubin's sons will have to buy guns for black people. From reader Ernesto Rios:
" ... or does that mean because mysons know the three families that make up the black community in Cheyenne, they will have to buy it for them."
Ineligible because it's built on the racist assumption that blacks are drug addicts.

Help identify this plant
1 Attachment(s)
Hello, I'm went to the LPS and bought some java fern today and some smaller plants but missed what the store clerk said they were. Can anyone help me out and tell me what this plant is? Thanks a bunch.
Kleinerbar I believe... could be mistaken.. it's like most sword type plants if I am right. But haven't had them for a while so you might want to double check that before going with my answer lol.
maybe, but from the reddish/brown leaves I thought maybe echinodorus x barthii. ?? not quite sure yet. thanks though :D
It is a sword plant, one of the Echinodorus cultivars, and I think Aaron is correct on kleinerbar. It requires direct light, quite the opposite of the Java Fern, so plant the sword out in the open. It also needs nutrients. Red leaf plants require more light and nutrients than green leaf plants. Not suggesting excess, just mentioning that without some form of weekly fertilization it will not do well.

Why Don't You…?
… craft an impromptu height chart using an oversized ruler?
If you enjoy spending time antiquing, you'll notice how easy it is to spot certain items that are no longer in heavy rotation: vintage tin signs painted with historical slogans, heavy castiron pots, and – occasionally – oversized wooden rulers. Renovator Raina was lucky enough to find one (although given her DIY skills, I wouldn't be surprised if she whipped this one up in an afternoon!), and I love the idea of transforming it into a sentimental height chart for those ever-growing kids.
By placing it in an often-unused area of the home (stairways are notoriously difficult to decorate around!), the ruler commands attention to everyone passing by. And if you paint the wall it rests upon in a dry erase or chalkboard paint, you can turn that decorative item into a functional (temporary!) height marker for your family.
My father grew up on a farm with his seven siblings, and every year we'd visit, we'd mark our heights on a wooden door with a measuring tape adhered to it. The tradition was memorable, but the decorative effects made for an even more sentimental statement. Can you imagine what a wooden door might look like with over 40 annual measurements scrawled in ballpoint pen? Quirky and charming, yes, but also the sign of a well-loved home.
So why not give it a go? Transform your unused space into a happy growth chart for the little ones. (And if you're not lucky enough to find an oversized ruler or a few vintage yardsticks, take it from my grandparents – any old wooden door will do.)

Allison (Butler Univ.; Now You See It) tells of a young, materialistic couple who consider themselves evicted from Manhattan. With expenses that far exceed their mediocre incomes, they feel like consistent losers on the catch-up wheel. Sad to leave the city but convinced that the small, affordable house they have purchased in bucolic Rhode Island will ultimately offer a healthier lifestyle for them and their ten-month-old son, they arrive in Newport to begin living happily ever after. Within moments of arriving, however, the dream shatters with the theft of their Jeep Cherokee, packed to the gills with everything they value, leaving them with only the keys to their empty house, the child's stroller, and a small handful of cash to tide them over the Columbus Day weekend. Struck with one trauma after another, they lose their equilibrium and retreat, exiled each from the other and keeping devastating secrets that could threaten their future they had counted on. VERDICT Despite an uneven balance between plot and character development, this gripping journey keeps the reader in mind.--Joyce Townsend, Pittsburg, CA[Page 83]. (c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
Lynn's latest (after Now You See It) is an introspective domestic drama of a family battered by the rising cost of living. Even "normal people" like Wall Street M&A man Nate Bedecker, earning just under half a million annually, can no longer afford to live in Manhattan. Priced out of the Upper East Side apartment he shares with girlfriend Emily, who worked in advertising before the birth of their 10-month-old son, they head to Newport, R.I., where prospects await. But the new life they'd hoped for gets off to a bad start when their Jeep--containing all their possessions--is stolen, leaving them stranded at a luxury hotel with only in cash. Over the next four days, Emily is racked with guilt over another theft--her own--of a painting belonging to her affluent New York friends. And Nate fears he may have inherited the Huntington's disease gene from his estranged father and passed it on to his son. When New York City police arrive with questions about stolen art, and Nate's father gets in a serious car crash, the weekend takes a tragic turn, forcing the exiles to finally face their issues. Lynn's new novel rings with truth and compassion. Agent: Lane Zachary, Zachary Shuster Harmsworth. (July)[Page ]. Copyright 2013 PWxyz LLC

Thanks to its prime position overlooking the canal at the bottom end of Broadway Market, this place attracts, as you might expect, plenty of Hackney hipsters. Much about the venue is fun – the studiedly casual decor with vintage wallpaper and Formica tables, the relaxed bar area and the prosecco on tap – but compared to other restaurants in the area, the kitchen (run by Hugo Warner, formerly of Benugo) doesn't quite manage to distinguish itself.
The menu is concise, with strong Italian touches including hand-cut pastas. A starter of potted duck with piccalilli made up in generosity what it lacked in real moreishness; arancini with a good, deep-flavoured romesco sauce were rather sedate versions of what should be unctuous treats. The risotto of the day – nero with prawns – was perfectly unmemorable. Veal escalope was the only truly lip-smacking dish: dark, oily and crunchy.
The bill for all this was on the high side, although there are several very well-priced wines by the bottle. For people-watching and some decent dishes, the Market Café is fine – just don't expect fireworks.

Best place on Broadway Market
we love this place nice food and great stuf worth a try
fast line minicab service 0208 5332727
Most unfriendly staff ever!!!!! Food was average and wine shit. Never again!!!
Terrible. Been here a few times, every time it gets worse. Had dinner last Saturday, will officially be our last visit. I ordered Gnocchi with sausage Ragu, what I got was uncooked Gnocchi, with unseasoned, cold, tasteless sauce and sliced sausage, which was sent back. My partner ordered another pasta dish, equally tasteless. Awful. Should've realised how bad its got, the only place on Broadway Market with free tables on a Saturday night.
Even if the ambiance was nice, my mouth didn't deserve that. The easy chocolate cake at the end of the meal was not any consolation... Retrospectively, knowing that they didn't cooked the rice properly, we should have guessed that the cake was also challenge. I hope it was a bad evening for them because everything on our table was shockingly un-tasty. The meats too... One of the worst meal ever.
Love this place. Friendly with a lovely vibe and prices are keen. Brunch is always rammed so a bit chaotic, but the evenings are relaxed and good fun. Food has always been delicious when we visit, and the menu changes often. Espresso Martini's are cracking!
Sorry, but this place fall well short of the mark. Mixed identity food, overpriced, and poor service. The area is crying out for a good Italian, but an average quality pasta dish at £12 is just not right for Broadway Mkt.
Great addition to the area but find the italian food is poor and the place a bit derivative. The more british centric food is far better and in my view good value!
Disappointing to have a chain restaurant in place of La Vie en Rose, doesn't suit the area. More importantly, Market Cafe is too overpriced to warrant a lengthy afternoon stay, which is a shame.
What a fantastic addition to the London eating scene. Great location by Broadway market, with a very homely and lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. The menu is great with honest food made out of great produce. Great menu which is cleverly made and has something for everyone! Had slow cooked lamb leg with polenta which was divine. Oh and amalfi lemon sorbet was to die for. I often come on saturdays to get a bite at the market stalls. From now on I'll go to the market cafe instead. Emelie

Families Plan for Farm Estate Succession
Estate Planning – a Complex Issue
Iowa citizens need help and incentives to prepare an estate plan. Reasons for not following through on planning may be lack of knowledge regarding taxation implications, lack of understanding of the issues, and not knowing what resources are available that can help them.
Extension's Response
To address this issue the Extension farm management team took the initiative to develop an interactive program with workshops, Evaluating Your Estate Plan (EYEP),that focuses on Iowa farm families and farm succession. EYEP participants learn about various issues relating to estate planning and strategies for organizing their farm estate, how tax laws may impact them, and how to create their own professional team once the class has ended. Another key topic EYEP stresses is the importance of communication among family members.
Follow-up evaluations, completed six months after attending the workshops, showed significant behavior changes, with 69% of respondents holding a family meeting, and 79% increasing discussions with their spouse. Eighty-four percent of participants stated they were likely to visit their attorney as a result of participating in EYEP; 64% indicated that they had indeed met with their attorney. One-third of respondents had created a medical directive or power of attorney and updated or created a will. Half of the respondents set estate planning goals, reviewed ownership of assets and their life insurance policy/beneficiaries.
Evaluations of participants showed effective educational impacts. There was increased understanding of the basics of estate planning and how to address common issues. Ninety-five percent of the participants in the initial round of workshops stated that as a result of EYEP, they know what documents they need when visiting an attorney about their estate plan. The combination of workshops, educational materials, and on-line resources will continue to have a positive impact beyond the participants to their families and their farm business. The greatest impact shown in follow-up evaluations was increased communications and involvement of family in decision making.

text: I was planning to post first pics in my Giant Escape thread, but that sprung a leak. I didn't buy the Escape. I went to pick it up today morning, and took it on a much longer ride. After half an hour of riding, my bum was sore, and my left elbow hurt. So I took it back, tried out a Specialized Sirrus (again) and a Cannondale Quick. The Sirrus felt right immediately, and half an hour later, I was still comfortable. The Quick didn't seem right at all - I felt really clumsy on it. So I am now the proud owner of a Specialized Sirrus I must say, the bike is less hybrid and more flat bar road bike.
