Wilmington man won't face charges in gun show shooting
Published: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 8:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 8:03 p.m.
RALEIGH | Wake County's district attorney says he can find nothing to indicate laws were broken in an accidental shooting at a gun show.
District Attorney Colon Willoughby said Tuesday that no charges will be filed against 36-year-old Gary Lynn Wilson of Wilmington.
State Fairgrounds Police Chief Joel Keith said a 12-gauge shotgun discharged while its owner removed it from its case at a security checkpoint at the Dixie Gun and Knife Show on Saturday. A retired sheriff's deputy and two bystanders were hurt.
Wilson brought the weapon to the show to find a private buyer.
The shooting prompted organizers to close for the rest of the day, but the show reopened Sunday without private gun sales.
It was one of three accidental shootings at gun shows across the U.S. on Saturday.

ARC021: The Violets - Foreo

Release Date: 12th February 2007
Release Type: Single
Formats: CD, 7", download
1. The Violets - Foreo
2. The Violets - Emerald
3. The Violets - Hang And Fall
'Emerald' over on the flip is a more primal affair and could easily be the meeting spot where both the Banshees 'Mirage' and 'Metal Postcard' converge. Skewed riffs muddied by razored psyche motifs buckle and bruise to a tribal like no wave vibe.
The doom-laden, darkly set kaleidoscopic and intimate sounding 'Hang and Fall' closes this deathly romantic feast of a single.

Those outta spacious pieces from the Fall/Winter 2012 collections are surly still fresh in our mind! Especially, the conceptually incredible collection of Comme Des Garçons.To think from a different angle, however,there was a time when I was wondering who was gonna wear those cutout paper-dolliness pieces on the streets?! You may say "It must be Lady GaGa of course!" The fact just goes like this, but not entirely right!As to my astonishment, the first celebrity to wear the pieces from the collections was Taylor Tomasi Hill at NY Fashion Week, choosing a blue graphic parse shorts matching with a easy chic shirt, which completely changed my perspectives on the collection—— dramatic pieces are not only dramatic but also can be so effortless as well! Then it came to more fashionistas like Anna Dello Russo, Hanne Gaby Odiele,and Michelle Elie wearing the outfits from the collection with their distinct style, COMME on Des Garçons!

COLUMBUS - Serial killer Thomas Lee Dillon, imprisoned for killing five outdoorsmen including Bannock resident Jamie Paxton, has died in the prison wing of The Ohio State University Medical Center, Columbus, after being ill for three weeks.
The 61-year-old Dillon, whose death occurred Friday, was serving five consecutive life terms after pleading guilty to five counts of aggravated murder in 1993. Before being hospitalized, he was in the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility at Lucasville.
The Times Leader received a letter in 1991, which has been credited with helping in the murder investigations. In that typewritten letter, Dillon identified himself as "The murderer of Jamie Paxton."
A Stark County resident, Dillon's shootings occurred in 1989, 1990 and 1992 in Tuscarawas, Belmont, Muskingum, Coshocton and Noble counties. Paxton was killed in November 1990 while hunting deer.
The task force investigating the killings linked a series of animal slayings in southern Ohio to the serial killer.
Letters helped in the investigation of the killings, according to an article, "The Killing Field," by Joe Treen in People magazine in January 1993.
According to Treen, "The task force received perhaps its biggest break long before the group was even formed." He added it came from Jean Paxton, Jamie's mother. After her son was killed, she began to write letters, posting some on a simple wooden frame in the field, and some were published by The Times Leader.
In the letters, Paxton's mother described her 21-year-old son and his "good-natured grin" as well as interests including his perfect attendance at the Bannock United Methodist Church.
Treen told how she addressed one letter to "Someone out there (who) knows this letter is directed to them." After asking whether her son's killer had noticed anything different about his hands, she added that his hands had changed for "they are the hands of a murderer. You can't wash Jamie's blood from them. It will be there till the day you die."
The Times Leader received a letter from Dillon Nov. 4, 1991, six days before the first anniversary of Paxton's death.
Treen, who quoted from The Times Leader's letter, noted that the "letter was a treasure trove for the FBI's behaviorial-sciences unit in Quantico, Va." He told what analysts deduced from the letter.
Dillon in his letter to the newspaper wrote about the Belmont County shooting, noting, in part, "I knew when I left my house that day that someone would die by my hand. I just didn't know who or where."
Blaming his compulsion on alcohol, Dillon also wrote, "I was very drunk, and a voice inside of my head said, 'Do it.'"
Belmont County Sheriff Fred Thompson served as an investigator for the department in 1990 and headed up the probe of Paxton's death. He said Paxton's compound bow was still in his car when his body was found along Belmont 64 near Uniontown.
Thompson said he was handling the investigation as a single homicide when he received a call from Coshocton County about an unexplained murder of a fisherman there. He also learned a man in Tuscarawas County had been shot and killed while jogging. Thompson met with authorities from both counties and set up a task force that eventually included the FBI and Ohio Division of Wildlife.
Investigators decided to warn the public when deer season approached again. It was then that a friend of Dillon's came forward, saying Dillon's behavior had been suspicious. Additional investigation led to Dillon's arrest.
Comparing the serial killer to "Jekyll and Hyde," Thompson pointed out Dillon appeared to be an ordinary family man through the week, but only ventured out in search of victims on Saturdays.
Thompson said he spoke with Paxton's mother Saturday, and both agreed Dillon's death brings "final closure" to the case.
"Tom Dillon has caused enough grief and heartache in southeastern Ohio that he'll never be able to pay for his debt." Thompson said.
Tom McCort was Belmont County sheriff when Dillon took Paxton's life, and he termed the entire situation "tragic."
"The people he killed were innocent, good people," McCort said. "And there was never a motive - it was just a thrill. He had no remorse."
McCort expressed sympathy for the Paxton family and those of Dillon's other victims as well as for Dillon's wife and then-teenage son, who were present for Dillon's trial.
"He (Dillon) hunted people," said McCort. "He did this randomly through other counties...He was sick. He started off shooting small animals, shooting cattle, burning barns. Then he just worked his way to his up."
In addition to Paxton, Dillon's victims included Donald Wells, 35, of Strasburg in Tuscarawas County, shot in 1989 while jogging; Kevin Loring, 30, of Duxbury, Mass., killed 18 days after Paxton while hunting in Muskingum County; Claude Hawkins, 48, Mansfield, shot in 1992 while fishing in Coshocton County; and Gary Bradley, 44, Williamstown, W.Va., who died in 1992 while fishing in Noble County.

The theme of the show was 'Summer Scenes' and featured three collections: Nautical Nuances, Garden Garb, and Wave Wear. A raffle was held for the sponsors' products and guests entered the show in true red carpet style by posing for pictures at Element's step and repeat.
We interviewed FIDM Fashion Club President Taylor Olson for the behind the scenes scoop...
FC: What were your goals with this event?
Taylor: Our goals for this event were to get the school and community together for a night of fashion and fun and to showcase the styling and event production abilities of our club members. Our other goal was to raise funds for the non-profit youth based organization Elemental Awareness by donating a portion of the proceeds from the show to the charity.
FC: What steps did you take to make this happen?
Taylor: We worked hard to secure a brand for the show and could not have been happier with Element. They were very supportive through the whole process. The girls in the club put a lot of work into the show- casting the models, creating flyers and programs and distributing them around town, putting outfits together for the models to wear. Then there was all of the work that went on the day of the show from doing makeup and dressing models to figuring out how to make our short runway showcase the clothes to the best of it's ability.
Taylor: The best advice I can give to other club presidents looking to put on a fashion show like ours is to never give up! Even if you can't find a brand at first or you have no idea where to start the planning of the event, it will all work out in the end. We came across a lot of bumps in the road while planning our show. However, with some creative thinking, a lot of hard work, and the support of the community and club, we were able to put on a show that exceeded all of our expectations! Don't be afraid to ask for help from the community either, it will shock you who is willing to get involved. Lastly, make a well structured plan for the show, but don't be afraid to totally disregard it if things don't go as planned.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
bisphenol A, BPA, plastic
Leaping ahead of the United States, China has banned bisphenol A (BPA)—an estrogen-mimicking chemical suspected of causing cancer, early puberty and brain alteration—from children's products, Sarah Jannsen reports on the National Resources Defense Council site. The Chinese Ministry of Health has decided that BPA leaching from baby bottles presents a risk to infants' health, Jannsen reports. The action comes on the heels of bans in Europe, Canada and the United Arab Emirates.
"While other countries have banned use because there is no strong evidence that this chemical is safe and plenty of reason to think it is harmful, the U.S. stubbornly refuses to regulate BPA," Janssen writes.
The FDA has not addressed the chemical, and its proposal to list BPA as a "chemical of concern" has stalled in the White House Office of Management and Budget. Nine states have passed laws regulating the use of BPA, putting states that have not enacted bans "at risk for becoming the dumping grounds for all the banned BPA products from elsewhere," Jannsen warns. "Our lax chemical regulatory laws and the lack of political to fix them will means that we run the risk of becoming the toxic dumping ground for all the products which have been banned in other countries."
It's up to us to keep ourselves and our families free of BPA. Check out Dr. Linda White's excellent guide to safer plastics and Natural Home's Five Steps to Avoiding BPA. The NRDC's recommendations for avoiding exposure include:
--Limit your canned food consumption by eating fresh or frozen produce and buying processed food in 'brick' cartons, pouches or glass.
--Limit your canned soda and beer consumption. Choose glass instead.
--Avoid baby bottles and sippy cups made of polycarbonate (hard, clear, shatterproof) plastic. They are marked with the recycling symbol #7, and sometimes labeled 'PC.' (Not all #7 plastics are polycarbonates; the only way to know is to call the manufacturer.)
--Use a BPA-free reusable water bottle, such as an unlined stainless steel bottle.
Limit your canned food consumption to avoid BPA.

Best Dys Ever (1,2,3)Amsterdam, Spring 2011
Well, the dark day has come and gone - we have departed from the lovely Amsterdam - but while I gather my thoughts and attempt to put them in any sort of coherent, eloquent format, I wanted to cast back and discuss a triefecta of perfect days that have been appropriately named "Best Day Ever," and subsequently, "Best Day Ever #2 and #3." I find myself among the small population who loathes, rather than loves, holidays of any sort. Too much pressure of enjoyment upon a single day always seems like a recipe for let downs - yes, I'm afraid when it comes to holidays, I'm a touch of a pessimist/drag/part pooper/debby downer etc. But don't pump that Elliott Smith or Bright Eyes just yet - the "Best Day Ever" days may have just changed my outlook on pre-emptive happy-day titles. It all started with countless bakeries passed the infamous Artis Zoo. Every time we ventured to Rembrandtsplein (which was at least a weekly occurrence) we would pass the zoo and while many of my contemporaries had already visited the zoo for class trips or they were just quicker to the punch, two of my best friends (matt and mike) along with myself, had not yet been so lucky to enter the gates of the oldest zoo in Europe! So, the plan was set: We would organize the best day ever surrounding a trip to Artis - but, after deciding it would be, in fact, the best day ever, we also decided to get coffee before hand, and after take a bike ride, eat lunch, and then have a fun night out. The best day ever did not let us down: Artis zoo is FANTASTIC! It was deceptively large and had a wide variety of animals, ranging from red-rumped monkeys to HUGE boas. The boys and I were as giddy as the school kids, running from animal to animal and dubbing voices for each of them. I wish I could elaborate in greater detail, but in the end of the day, it would probably paint the three of us in an embarrisengly juvenile light! From the zoo we stopped by the grocers and picked up some lunch then biked on over to a beautiful canal side location off of Vondel Park and spent a few hours enjoying good food and better conversation -- the only downside was the fact that a few pidgeons were giving me the old evil eye (have I mentioned that I'm not a huge fan of birds?) We then went home, lounged for a while and then hit the town! A classically wonderful day. Parts two and three were not let downs either - they followed the same basic formats - good food and sunshine. We fit in as much coffee, bread, conversation, sunshine and parktimes as humanly possible over our trifecta of "Best Days" and on the second we managed to head to the beach with a bunch of Funen kids for an awesome bonfire that went well into the early morning. And the third "Best Day Ever" we concluded with a saturday night at Melkveg and a group slumber party. Like I said, I'm not one for holidays or themed days, but I will celebrate "Best Day Evers" with Matt and Mike at any opportunity. Great people, great memories and great days.

Have you ever heard of the direct sales company Jewelry In Candles? It is an up and coming company.
This examiner had the pleasure of testing the Day at the Spa scent of wax melts over the past week.
The contribution was blogged about on: http://morrisonsmagnificentmile.blogspot.com/ . The test area of the home was the master bathroom, one of the stinkiest places in any home. This contribution came from a great lady that this examiner is proud to call a dear family friend, which made it even more special to blog about. The lady's name is Ann Cheek and her site that you can check out is at: http://www.jewelryincandles.com/store/anncheek. If you do not know what scent you like or prefer, Ann is there to help you find the right candle or wax melt that you will enjoy having in your home.
As part of the test, one of the blocks that was melted had a surprise inside it. It is called Jewelry In Candles for a good reason, because there is a piece of jewelry in the products that they sell. ( The candles and the wax melts specifically.)
Within this wax melt sample was a gorgeous set of earrings that were pearl-esque in nature on a gold french hook.
This particular scent has been one of the most mild that has passed through all the testing for the blog in the last few months. The scent really brought a fresh and clean feeling to the master bathroom, with the bonus of making the master bedroom smell just as great, if not better than it has ever in 4 years.
These wax melts are definitely worth looking into, if you are looking a way to spruce up your home without spending a whole lot to do it. The candles and wax melts both also make a great gift for a hostess that you know well, or a just because gift.
So if you are looking for a great way to spruce up the home, give a hostess gift, or a just because gift, etc... Please stop by and visit Ann's page at: http://www.jewelryincandles.com/store/anncheek , and take a look around. It will be the best choice you have ever made, and it will be one that you will be able to enjoy for a long while. If you are asked how you heard about Ann's page let her know Nannette Morrison sent you.

Chris Algieri put an exclamation point on his return to the Paramount winning a unanimous decision before a raucous hometown crowd at "Rockin Fights 9."
Algieri, "The Pride of Huntington," bloodied the more experienced "Mighty Mike" Arnaoutis with a cut over the right eye in the eighth round and kept up a constant barrage right to the final bell.
The now 17-0 (7 KO) Algieri never looked back after a hard left in the second stunned him and used a combination of skill and superior legs to wear down the heavy-hitting Greek
"Chris Algieri's boxing expertise came through on every level as he proved once again that he is on the road to a world title shot," said Star Boxing's Joe DeGuardia at ringside. "It was a great 10-round action fight before an enthusiastic crowd that witnessed a great battle of skill and will."
Algieri worked the Paramount crowd into a frenzy with some stunning combinations that left Arnaoutis on the ropes at the sixth round bell. He came out swinging in the seventh with a blistering pace the southpaw could not answer.
"My hat's off to Arnaoutis, who was in great shape and certainly came to fight," Algieri said. "I'm awed by the great competition and will keep moving ahead toward my world title goal."
"Chris Algieri is up and coming no matter who's in front of him and he keeps progressing and developing," said DeGuardia. "Tonight, he certainly passed his biggest test so far."
Mike Arnaoutis take a hard left from Algieri
In the undercard, Lightweight Alan Gotay added a sixth win to his undefeated record (3 KO) with a decisive six-round unanimous decision over Michael Doyle. Another Huntington favorite son, Gotay's constant motion proved no match for the stationary Doyle.
Hicksville's Anthony "Showtime Karperis was stopped in his bid to go 5-1 when his fight with Jonathan Cuba was stopped in the fifth. Cuba was lining up his shots and teeing off against Karperis when the referee stepped in.
Cuba delivers to Karperis
In the "Rockin Fights 9" professional debut of Vincenzo D'Angelo, the Super Middleweight won a unanimous decision over Michael Mitchell.
Wendy "The Haitian Hurricane" Toussaint of Huntington also won a unanimous decision vs. On'rey Towns in his first professional bout.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

A sign that read "ISIS here" was spotted during a Monday night report on the protests in Ferguson, Missouri, The Blaze said. Images of the "chilling" sign made their way to the Internet through Twitter, Oliver Darcy said Tuesday.
The sign is seen immediately behind CNN's Jake Tapper, who was speaking with one protester who claimed to be a former police officer. Tapper was clearly unaware of the sign at the time.
It's unclear why the sign was displayed, but the UK Daily Mail said Tuesday that ISIS militants are using social media outlets like Twitter to encourage protesters to embrace their version of radical Islam and fight the government. According to the Daily Mail, jihadists have used the hashtag #FergusonUnderISIS as part of an effort to encourage protesters to embrace their effort to create a global caliphate.
"So how is democracy treating you guys? #FergusonUnderIS #Ferguson," tweeted one ISIS supporter identified only as "Mujahid Miski." The Daily Mail said Miski claims to originate from the Minneapolis–Saint Paul area but now suggests he is based in "the horn of Africa." In one tweet posted by the Daily Mail, Miski suggests all IS members in the U.S. should go to Ferguson in an effort to "prepare to establish a revolutionary Islamic State." In another tweet, he said justice and equality can only be found under sharia law.
Another Twitter user using the name "Amreeki Witness" suggested using the Ferguson protests to start jihad in the United States. In one tweet, he said it may be "time to organize the Muslims in America upon haqq and mobilize to #Ferguson. Defend the oppressed, start jihad here."
It's not the first time extremist messages have been seen in Ferguson. A Palestinian flag was seen being waved by one protester during a Fox News report. Truth Revolt said other outside groups, including anarchists, socialists, and "professional" protesters have also converged on Ferguson, hoping to capitalize on the unrest there. Video of the sign can be seen above.

SPOKANE, Wash. - The 19th-ranked Arizona State baseball team secured its 50th straight 30-win season with a 4-2 victory over Gonzaga on Friday night at Patterson Baseball Complex in Spokane, Wash.
Trever Allen and Deven Marrero each hit home runs and right-hander Brady Rodgers struck out four in eight innings to lead the Sun Devils (30-17).
Rodgers (9-2) collected his ninth win of the season after scattering seven hits over eight innings. He did not allow a run after the first inning and ended his outing with consecutive swinging strikeouts in the eighth frame. He has now pitched at least eight innings in nine of his starts this season.
Right-hander Jake Barrett (10) pitched a perfect ninth inning to earn his 10th save of the year.
Marco Gonzalez, the probable starter for the Bulldogs (29-18) in Saturday's game, hit a leadoff double in the first inning and scored on an RBI triple two batters later. The Zags added a run later in the frame on an RBI groundout to take the early lead, 2-0.
Abe Ruiz collected the first base hit of the game for the Sun Devils with a single to right-center field and reached home on an error to put ASU on the board, 1-0. Ruiz advanced to second after James McDonald walked before Max Rossiter hit a grounder to the Zags' shortstop, who misplayed the ball to allow Ruiz to score.
Allen hit a two-run homer over the left-field wall in the fifth inning to give the Devils their first lead of the game, 3-2. Nathaniel Causey led off the frame with a single through the left side.
Marrero added a solo home run to left-center field with two outs in the seventh inning to extend ASU's advantage, 4-2.
Starting left-hander Jeff Olson (4-3) took the loss after giving up four runs, including three earned, on five hits in 7 1/3 innings.
The Sun Devils face Gonzaga at 6 p.m. Saturday night for game two of its weekend series in Spokane. Be sure to join the ASU media relations live chat for updates, commentary and more.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Over the last two-plus decades, NBA Draft night has been a night of celebration for the Arizona men's basketball program, as 38 UA players have heard their names called in the draft since 1988.
The Wildcats' 38 selections are tied with Duke and Kentucky for the most in the nation over that span. Kansas has 35 selections and both North Carolina and UCLA have 34 to round out the top five nationally since 1988.
Aaron Gordon became the 19th first-round pick and 12th lottery pick in Arizona history on Thursday night when the Orlando Magic made him the fourth overall selection. The San Jose, Calif., native was the Wildcats' third first-round pick in the last four years, and the second UA player in Sean Miller's tenure to hear his name called among the first four picks in a draft (Derrick Williams, 2nd in 2011).
Nick Johnson became the fifth of Miller's recruits to be chosen on draft night when the Houston Rockets selected him 42nd overall.
UA has had at least one player selected in 22 of the last 27 drafts, and has produced 67 draft picks overall. Ten of the Wildcats' last 12 first-round picks have been lottery selections. Overall, five of UA's last eight NBA Draft picks have been first-round choices.
Arizona has had five players selected since 2011, a total that ranks eighth nationally over that period of time. The Wildcats' four selections over the last two years are good for second nationally in that span.
In the summer of 2013, ESPN ranked Arizona sixth among all college programs in terms of producing top NBA talent over the last two-plus decades.
UA players have been far from content by just hearing their names called on draft night, however. As has been reported by various media outlets, the fraternity of Arizona's NBA players is nearing the collective $1 billion mark in career earnings, with the total haul exceeding $960 million during the 2013-14 campaign.
Collectively, the Wildcat players who have been drafted since 1988 are an accomplished group, having won 13 NBA championships and made six All-Star appearances. The group boasts a Rookie of the Year (Damon Stoudamire), a Sixth Man of the Year (Jason Terry) and a Most Improved Player (Gilbert Arenas).For the latest updates on Arizona men's basketball and an inside look at the program, follow @APlayersProgram on Twitter and @uaplayersprogram on Instagram.

P-8 Poseidon U.S. Navy aircraft is now hunting for the missing Malaysian Airlines plane. It is highly specialized to find both submarine and surface targets on the open ocean. According to NBC News on Mar. 20, the highly sophisticated jet is loaded.
The P-8A Poseidon is based on the design of a Boeing 737 passenger jet but is packed with cutting-edge military equipment.
The P-8 Poseidon can easily communicate with other ships, planes and satellites. This plane is joining a Lockheed Martin-made P-3C Orion sent earlier in the hunt. Both New Zealand and Australia have one and three P-3's involved in the search for missing Flight MH370.
The Boeing P-8 Poseidon was formerly called the Multimission Maritime Aircraft or MMA. It was developed specifically for anti-submarine warfare and may be deployed in an armed configuration. It has been in production since 2009 and costs approximately $275 million per aircraft.
More on the latest information about this search was recently covered by this reporter here in "Malaysia Airlines flight: Latest developments on missing Flight MH370."

FRESNO, Calif. ---The Fresno State soccer team dropped its preseason exhibition game to UC Irvine, 2-0 on Friday night at the Soccer/Lacrosse field.
UC Irvine posted its first goal in the 27th minute with a goal from sophomore Victoria Russo. The Anteaters scored goal number two in the second have to secure the 2-0 win over the Bulldogs.
"We knew that UC Irvine coming in was going to be a very good team, we scheduled that on purpose," said Fresno State head coach Brian Zwaschka. "We aren't as worried about the result verses the idea that we applied the things we have been working on, and we feel pretty good about that."
The Bulldogs goalkeeper Katie DeVault recorded three saves on the night. Shonice Myers and Megan Mossmancombined for four shots, including two shots on goal.
Freshman Ariana Holmes gained her first collegiate start against the Anteaters, Alyssa Holsworth and Amanda Nunesalso recorded their first minutes in a Bulldog uniform.
"We were trying some new players out in some new positions today," said Zwaschka. "This was really good for us. Of course you don't want to lose any game, but when we can learn lessons, it's the right thing to do at this point in the season."
The Bulldogs kick off their 2013 season with two road games starting with UC Santa Barbara on Aug. 23, followed by Cal State Fullerton two days later.
The 'Dogs then return to Bulldog Stadium for their home opener on Aug. 31 at 7 p.m. The Fresno State Soccer team is attempting to break the national attendance record for a women's soccer game. Join the team in making history as they take on Santa Clara for Project 9000!

Level 7
2-Handed Warriors (Damage Dealer aka Berserker)
Overview: You will do the highest damage among warriors but will also take the most damage. a good solo class in the beginning and are great for group training sessions after getting AoE skills.
Race Compatibilty: Human - 10/10 Elf - 7/10
Stat Builds: Full STR(recommended), Full VIT, Full DEX(not recommended at this time)
Weapons: 2 handed swords - faster atk spd
2 handed axes - higher crit dmg
2 handed blunts - higher DEF from passive
Author's note: all 3 type of weapons have the same attack so just go with one that you like or whichever looks cool to you.
Job Change:Fighter ->Warrior->Merc(Recommended for Humans)
Fighter ->Warrior->Swordsman
Fighter ->Warrior->Swordsman->Rune Knight(Elf)
2 handed training - max(your atk passive)
sword training - 5 (leave it at lvl 5. 15sp for 4% atk is ok. 40sp for another 3.75% is not)
Upper Swing - 10(get to 1 till lvl 30+ when u have extra sp for lvl 40 2nd tier - AoE)
Crash Blow - 1(or dont get. good for combo with rising strike earlier on or max it if u like to go 1v1)
Enhance HP - max(or dont get at all. for me 250~ hp is worth it.
Burning Rage - max(humans only. if u have enhance hp, it will help cancel the side effect)
Fighter Heart - max(str buff)
Sword Rapidity - dont get.(adds atk spd but i dont notice the difference. you will be using skills mainly later on.)
Warrior Form - max(this is your 2nd tier atk buff)
Risk Taker- max(hp<30% attack increase.)
NOTE: THERE IS A BUG - relog after adding risk taker will increase your attack permernantly!
Wheel Wind -1 at least(AoE for training purposes)
Body Check - 1(boss or PVP use)
EarthQuake -max(for nukers)
i apologise because i myself have not reached 40 yet. but i advice all mercenaries to get upper swing to lvl 11 at least for the AoE skill(Earthquake) that has a % to stun. it is a great leveling skill especially if used with wheel wind in a party.
Branch: The norm i noticed in the TW version is that most 2h warriors go with AoE skills 1st. better for training purposes. but if you would like to go 1v1 berserker, i guess it is better to add crash blow to the max and leave out rising strike completely.
AoE:Team player. max AoE skills first. you will do most of your lvling in a team.
1v1:Crash blow will be your main attack skill. if you crit with axe, you can 1 hit ko an enemy around your lvl. more pvp orientated.
Note: will add other skills at a later date
Pure Tanker
Overview: You will find it very difficult to level on your own after monster hp has gone over what Strike attack can dish out. But on the bright side, every team will need a fighter like you! mages and even berserkers will not be able to take the damage from mobs and will be counting on you to hold the aggro.
Race Compatibility: Human 8/10 Elf 10/10
Stat Builds: Full VIT(recommended), Full Str, Full Dex
Weapons: Swords(faster atk spd)
Blunts(more Def) - Recommended for tankers
Axe(higher crit dmg)
Author's note: all 3 type of weapons have the same attack so just go with one that you like or whichever looks cool to you
Job Change: Fighter->Guard->Infantry
Strike attack - get to lvl 1 till lvl 20 get to lvl 6 and max it before lvl 40(your main(only) attack skill)
Attract - 1 at least(to save your mage/archer/healer and to lure bosses)
Mana Shield - max(i forgot the name. get it but no need to rush. it will constantly drain sp for more def. useful only later)
Enhanced HP - max(max hp passive. recommended for all tankers)
Mace Protection- max(if uuseful later.
Blood Leak - add or don't add(i wouldn't recommend adding this since the chances you will be below 30% hp isn't uite high.)
Blunt shield - 1 at least(for bosses are full tanker and mace user)
Heavy Armor expertise - max
Blessing shield - max(def buff)
Shield Training - add or don't add(can't really see a difference since block and no block dmg = 1) note: may be more and PVP)
Bloody sky - 1 at least (to hold aggro before you get Attract Circle)
Note: will add other skills at a later date
Hybrid Tanker (Jack of All Trades)
Overview: You will not do as much damage as a berserker but will be able to hold your own in aggro. You will not be able to take as much damage as a pure tanker but you will be more adapt at leveling on your own without a party.
Race Compatibility: Human 8/10 Elf 7/10
Stat Builds: Full STR(recommended), Full Vit, Full Dex
Weapons: Swords(faster atk spd)
Blunts(more Def)
Axe(higher crit dmg)
P.S. It is highly recommended to go with one handed weapons as a shield adds much needed defence. With the same monster, i take about 1-5 damage with a shield on but 20-30 dmg when i took it off.
Job Change: Fighter->Guard->Swordsman/Mercenary
Weapon Training - 5(leave it at lvl 5. 15sp for 4% atk is ok. 40sp for another 3.75% is not)
1 Handed Training - max(atk passive)
Strike attack - get to lvl 1 till lvl 20 get to lvl 6 and max it before lvl 40(your main(only) attack skill)
Enhanced HP - max(max hp passive. recommended for all tankers)
Fighter Heart - 1(maxed)
Blunt Defence - max(if u are a mace user)
Heavy Armor mastery - max(adds quite a bit of def)
blessing Shield - add or don't add(def buff)
Blunt Shield - 1 at least(boss fight/pvp skill. works well with body check later)
Bloody sky - 1 at least (AoE)
Save SP for 3rd job.
DPS Warrior:
Warning: This is the build i'm going with because THEORATICALLY speaking, this can be quite a powerful class. But practically speaking this build requires A LOT of patience to be actually useful and may very well turn into crap later on. It is a very EXPERIMENTAL build.
Overview: The DPS warrior build is my build and in essence is a type of hybrid tanker just that it focuses on DoT(damage over time) or DPS for some. You will be able to hold your own and take very little damage from mobs and you can easily solo bosses that are not too high leveled for you.
Note: I will just list down skills that i added and intend to add.
Race: Human
Weapon: Sword(for faster attacking speed)
Axe(for higher crit rate and crit dmg)
Class: Guard->Mercenary
Strike - max(your main lvling skill)
Fighter's Heart - max(will be lvl 4 when mercenary)
Enhanced HP - 6(may max later on. got till 6 for extra hp regen)
1 handed training - max
Sword/Axe training - 5
Sword rapidity/Axe mortality - max(either weapon chosen will be fine)
Heavy Armor Expertise - max
Burning Rage - max
Bloody sky - 1
Shield stun - 1
*save points for lvl 40
Risk taker -max(bugged skill)
Warrior Form - max
Note: this is a very experimental build so don't blame me is anything goes wrong if u choose to add this way. most of the time i'm just going with my gut feeling. right now i'm about lvl 35 and i solo bosses fine with pots. and enemies my lvl can't really hurt me. but leveling speed is awefully low. hopefully it will be better after lvl 40 when i get my mercenary skills.
Author's notes:
Thank you for reading this guide. I apologise for any spelling errors and if i spelled the skills wrongly. a lot of the information i obtained from the chinese forums and after testing it a bit in the CB.
added some 2nd job skills.

I hope that include npc
=.= u kill npc u got any superiority feeling meh
LOl kil npc lo...so geng meh??@@
For ppl who rather go all the way tank than to be able to tank and dmg at the same time, do not learn weapon mastery or fighter's heart, but instead learn the passive heavy armour mastery and mace speciality. Do not forget to add some points to ur shield stun skill.... i see many ppl asking me where i get that stun from =.=

Looking for a science themed field trip idea in Columbus or Central Ohio? Whether you are a stay at home parent inspiring the minds of toddlers, a homeschooling family or simply the parent of school aged students, there are a number of benefits to exploring science with your children—and a number of great science field trip ideas available in Columbus and Central Ohio.
The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is one of the top rated zoos in the United States. The facility offers not only the opportunity to learn and explore the zoo's grounds, animal habitats, and wildlife—but, also offers hands on experiences through age-specific classes, family workshops, and either self-guided or special zoo experiences. Visitors should check out the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium website for downloadable scavenger hunts, zoo and aquarium tour ideas and additional educational resources valuable for home school groups, family's seeking to learn more from a visit, and school class trips as well.
COSI. The Center of Science and Industry has been a hands-on, science exploration mainstay in Columbus, Ohio, for decades. Although the location has changed, the offerings are super for parents, families and teachers seeking to explore science at varying age and educational levels. Additionally, COSI also offers a number of camps, workshops, special events and family friendly activities throughout the year—along with teacher workshops and special educational programs offered directly to school districts. COSI's exhibits also change frequently—so more than one visit per year is possible.
The Works. The Works in Newark, Ohio, is a relative newcomer to the Central Ohio science scene—but, it has made itself quite noteworthy and field trip ready in just a few short years. Similar to COSI, The Works offers a ton of hands-on science themed learning experiences as well as classes, camps and age specific programs and the offerings also change periodically so a new visit is frequently in order.
The Columbus Metro Parks. While the many Columbus Metro Parks are fun to visit for playgrounds, hiking, picnics and activities, there are also a number of scientist friendly activities hosted throughout the parks each week. From bird watching and "creeking" to geocaching and special park naturalist hosted events and activities, the Columbus metro parks offer a wealth of scientific knowledge and local exploration—and most programs are free of charge! Check out Columbus Metro Parks calendar of events for upcoming events in the various parks in your area.
Franklin Park Conservatory. Oddly, it seems that many people falsely view Franklin Park Conservatory as a stuffy, "grown up" place intended for older adults to visit and photograph pristine orchids or discuss in-depth methods of horticulture. While the facility is beautiful and extremely well maintained, it is also extremely kid friendly and offers a host of science themed learning opportunities. From the site's annual Blooms and Butterflies exhibit to facility sponsored workshops, classes and camps—kids and adults alike can learn a lot about not only exotic plant life, but locally grown produce, art, and native Ohio plants and animals as well.
Central Ohio serves up a number of hands on opportunities to experience science and the natural world—and these five science field trip options should get you on your way to exploring the resources available in your neighborhood or within an easy drive.

Anyone in our state who hasn't been hiding under a rock for the past 4 days is well aware that 10 horses died last week in Magna, Utah. They dehydrated. How did this tragedy occur? The humans in charge of their care failed to fill their troughs with water.
A local news report stated that the owners had driven by a few days before the deaths occurred and observed, from their passing vehicle, that the animals "looked fine."
It's relevant at this time of the year to remind anyone who's in the position of caring for animals of all species that it's hot outside. This fact is evident when you go outside, or look at a weather report. Particularly if you have animals who live outdoors (horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, etc.) they're going to need an ample amount of water in order to remain healthy.
We'd hope that anyone literate enough to be reading this would already possess this rather basic knowledge, as it borders on the so-called (yet relatively uncommon) "common sense."
If you pay someone to take care of animals for you, it's a reasonable assumption that they will provide for the animals' basic needs. Unfortunately, we cannot always take that for granted and there remains a certain degree of obligation to check in (physically making a visit and helping, if necessary, to make sure the livestock is provided with the feed, water, shelter and general necessities that will allow it to go on living). Drive-by concern is entirely insufficient.
Horse owners who keep their equines at a boarding facility regularly visit their stables at least 5 times per week. If the barn management only cleans stalls every 7 – 10 days, the animal's owner will take it upon themselves to pick out the feces and urine in the interim to reduce the odor, lessen the damaging ammonia fumes that can irritate the horse's lungs and sinuses, and help prevent thrush from infecting their hoofs. If water containers look dirty or should they need to be filled, owners take it upon themselves to do so. If horses appear to be distressed or in need of food, owners will take them out to exercise them and /or supply them with additional feed.
Ownership in of itself is a responsibility.
Depending upon the written agreements that are contracted between you, as an owner, and the facility or individual that you have hired to provide for your horse's needs, you have every right to expect that they're being watched over and provided with sufficient safety and nutrition.
However; rights don't provide hydration or calories. Rights don't offer comfort, affection and exercise. Rights are not something that your horse will comprehend and rights cannot sustain him.
Far beyond (and certainly far more important than) the legal concept of contractual rights, there is a foundation of responsibility that rests solely in the hands of each and every horse owner.
Sometimes human beings get into situations that make it difficult, if not impossible, to properly care for the animals that they've acquired. Should you find yourself in such a circumstance, please sell or give away (to a reliable and kind person) the horse before its life is in danger. If you simply have too many to manage, reduce your herd.
There's no shame in admitting that you're in over your head if you have too many horses to financially provide for, or find that you have acquired so many that time does not allow you watch over them and give them the attention, water and feed needed to carry on with a reasonably healthy and at least somewhat comfortable existence. Humans make mistakes. Circumstances change. Be aware, be honest, and be concerned for the animals.
Shame on anyone who would allow any animal (let alone close to a dozen) suffer the slow, painful, agonizing death that results from dehydration or starvation.
Shame on anyone who would suppose themselves so superior to these majestic and innocent animals that they should be treated like worthless, undeserving trash, their abused bodies left to be hauled off to some dump after a sad and unceremonious death.
If you cannot or will not provide for an animal's base needs, if the energy you could have or should have devoted to their well-being is spent on inane excuses after their passing, you truly have no right to assume ownership of any equine, and you by no means have any right to call yourself a horseman.

Edward Snowden Can Finally Leave That Russian Airport [Updated: Not So Fast!]
He's free(-ish)!
He's free(-ish)! After a month in the transit zone of Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport, Auntie Anne's connoisseur Edward Snowden has received a document from the Russian government saying he is now free to move about the country. The paperwork means Snowden's application for asylum has been formalized, and while it's considered, which could take a few months, he can start building a life in Russia. "He plans to get a job," his Russian lawyer said yesterday, along with renting a new place to stay. Anatoly Kucherena, the attorney, arrived at the airport today to meet Snowden bearing gifts, including a copy of Crime and Punishment. "I'm not implying he's going through a similar mental anguish," said Kucherena, but Snowden might as well get used to the Russian way of doing things.
Update, 11:45 a.m.: Wait! Not so fast ...
Kucherena said that while Snowden has been given permission to leave the airport, he'll be there for at least one more day. "He is staying in the transit zone in accordance with the existing regulations," the lawyer explained. "He is acting precisely within the framework of the regulations."
And even when he does get the go-ahead, "He will only be allowed to stay in places designated by Russian law enforcement agencies," said the head of the public council of the Russian Federal Migration Service. Bureaucracy is hard.

Zynga hopes its success on the farm can translate to the field.
Zynga, the mobile game developer behind "Farmville" and "Words With Friends," announced the creation of a new brand on their official site Thursday, Zynga Sports 365, with "NFL Showdown" and an unnamed golf game featuring golf great Tiger Woods as the first games revealed.
According to the press release, Zynga has secured a multi-year licensing agreement with the National Football League and NFL Players Inc., which will bring all of your favorite NFL players and teams to your mobile device. Although other football games are on the Android and iOS market, including the long-heralded Madden series, this will be Zynga's first attempt at a pigskin game on mobile platforms.
"NFL Showdown" will be a different experience however, as Zynga said it will be a manager-style simulation that will feature in the trenches Owner, General Manager and Coach duties, rather than on the field gameplay.
Zynga's golf game will be developed by Mike Taramykin, Jason Shenkman, Jeff Luhr, Ian Cummings and Michael Cayado and unlike their NFL game, according to the company will be a traditional golf game featuring Woods, who recently ended a liscencing agreement with Electronic Arts after several years.
According to Zynga, "NFL Showdown" will be available by the start of the NFL season, while the golf game will hit digital shelves in 2015.
"As a sports fan, I am particularly excited about our Sports expansion and being able to share this exciting news with you," Clive Downie, COO of Zynga, said in the press release. "I believe that by combining our expertise with the NFL, NFL Players Inc. and Tiger Woods, we can create next-generation mobile football and golf games for consumers around the world."

Okay, try to keep it all straight. Life of Crime is an adaptation of famed crime novelist Elmore Leonard's book, The Switch, which is a prequel to Rum Punch, adapted for the screen by Quentin Tarantino as Jackie Brown. So that makes Life of Crime a prequel following many of the same characters seen in Jackie Brown but played by totally different actors. Got it? Good, because the first trailer has been released to help put it all together.
John Hawkes and Yasiin Bey (aka Mos Def) are younger versions of career criminals Louis Gara and Ordell Robbie (played by Robert De Niro and Samuel L. Jackson before), who come up with a plan for one big score. Jennifer Aniston is the wife of a wealthy Detroit developer, making her the perfect target to be held for ransom, except that her husband has a mistress and no intention of paying to get her back. It looks like director Daniel Schecter did as much as he could to get some distance from Tarantino's film, which is probably the right way to go about it.
Also starring Isla Fisher, Tim Robbins, and Will Forte, Life of Crime opens August 29th.

Local rock trio Alpha Consumer lit up the room at Ice House on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis on Wednesday night. The event, part of a residency on the last Wednesday of each month, was presented in partnership with Minneapolis record label Totally Gross National Product. Drummer JT Bates (Fat Kid Wednesdays, The Pines, and occasionally Marijuana Deathsquad, Coloring Time, Andrew Bird, and Dead Man Winter) worked his magic of executing time behind a modestly sized kit, compared to the flashy setups often seen in some rock groups. Mike Lewis mastered the energy of rock bassist, though he can frequently be seen around town and in cities across the US with a tenor sax strapped around his neck (Happy Apple, Fat Kid Wednesdays, Andrew Bird, Bon Iver). Guitarist and lead singer Jeremy Ylvisaker (Andrew Bird, Dosh, Guitar Party, The Cloak Ox, Gramma's Boyfriend) stood confidently and charismatically in his post downstage.
What happened next was beautiful: A performance energetically charged as only music can be when it's being played live by three people who have the years of history that these gentlemen do. As they rocked to 'shake shake shake shakian' the crowd responded obligingly and in abundance. Bates' time and groove were impenetrable, and Lewis' energy and phrasing masked the reality that he was playing only a singular instrument. Ylvisaker's vocal range and ability don't jump out immediately, only because he does such an incredible job of grabbing his audience and slapping them across the face with space-filling guitar effects, and melodies to which you immediately want to hum along. But it should be noted that he's no slouch for both vocal and guitar acrobatics. As a trio, they deliver a rare whole package as musicians, writers, and performers, for which the $5 cover was a steal of a price.

Businesses should always be looking for new ways to market themselves to local markets. However, the ever present catch 22 is whether or not a business should take money from marketing methods they know are affording them a strong ROI for more experimental, much riskier methods. This article will highlight several Boulder-based businesses who are doing things a bit differently and are reaping the rewards.
Go Direct
Direct mail, if done right, is an item that is always seen on some level, even if it is not used. The key to a successful campaign with direct mail is making an offer that stands out in today's market and printing your mail on a quality, glossy post card. Do not purchase coupons in pamphlets as these are thrown away, or if not, your coupon will be lost in the noise. Keep it simple. Print Experts is a provider of direct mail in Boulder and can easily print your business a great looking mailer. They have various sizes, UV coating, great inks, including environmentally friendly options as well. Additionally, they are able to print other necessary products for your business as well.
Go Social
If your business is B2C then being active on social media is absolutely essential, especially if you want to attract loyal millenial customers. One very important piece of a successful social media campaign is knowing what social media websites are going to be the best for hanging out with your customers. Further, knowing when to post and what type of content to post will make a massive difference as well. Watson + Nowlin is a social media marketing company in Boulder, Colorado that can instantly apply best practices to your social media campaigns instead of the common issue of business owners receiving lackluster results due to lack of time or commitment.
Go Blog
Blogging is an important piece of internet marketing in 2014 if you employ content marketing best practices. Best Boulder Roofers, a Boulder roofing contractor, blogs based upon their most frequently asked questions. For example, they created a blog post about the average cost for a roof to be constructed in Boulder. Local home owners doing research found their article online and then decided to give them a call after finding that article informative and trust building. The best part about this method of content marketing is that an overwhelming majority of local businesses are not taking advantage of this method.
For advanced content marketing promotion methods, check out this video for one website you can use to expand the reach of your articles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSbDiKGJEJk

Christian Heritage denied-An Editorial by Cassidy Pen
<Jackson, TN> A young Christian teen was tapped on the shoulder and asked to change out of her Confederate Flag Dress she proudly wore to the school Prom.
We would expect a scene like this to take place in some god-awful den of liberal atheism like San Fran-sicko or Vichi France. But when it takes place in Tennessee, it should make every moral American's blood boil.
I'm sure you, my dear friend in Christ agrees.
But what bastion of American Heritage is left us now? Has the liberal atheist political/media machine won?
Do moral Americans even care anymore about the traditions of their country? I know they do because I see the beautiful stars and bars all over on gun racks and flying in back yards across the bible belt. But without the diligence of fight against the godless among us, what will our children's quality of life be without the dignity of their heritage? Are they destined to wander the earth wondering why there's an empty feeling in their souls because then have no concept of their heritage?
The schools have been taken over by marxists and it looks as if no one cares that they have labeled our precious birthrights as "offensive and inappropriate." I couldn't believe my eyes when I read this. These far left radicals have once again flicked the first amendment aside like an unwanted pea on a plate.
We all know that the federal government judiciary is on the side of these heathens by upholding previous bans on our American Heritage.
Please read up on the outrageous actions of the staff at Gibson High School and ask yourself if you have had enough yet. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/04/24/tennessee-girl-kicked-out-of-prom-for-confederate-flag-dress/
I weep for my nation today and at the same time I am angered to the point of outburst over the state of our society. I will fight until my dying breath against these despicable liberals as they try to further whittle away at our just inheritance and birthright.
Who is with me?
- Excited
- Fascinated
- Amused
- Shocked
- Sad
- Angry

February VIP Winners Announced
Congratulations to the most recent winners in our VIP program!
Congratulations to the most recent winners in our VIP program!
Sure AMC's 'The Walking Dead' may have aired its big season 3 return tonight, but you didn't think HBO's 'Game of Thrones' was going to let the zombies have all the fun, did you? As we patiently wait for the March 31 return of HBO's George R.R. Martin fantasy drama, the network has released a bold new teaser trailer for the season that shows off our favorite characters, and teases some ominous chaos ahead. Get the latest look at 'Game of Thrones' season 3 inside!
The season premiere of 'Game of Thrones' season three is only a month and a half away, but other than a few behind the scenes featurettes and a vague teaser, things have been pretty quiet on HBO's end. By this time last year, the second season already had a variety of teasers and trailers to whet everyone's appetites, which makes the lack of anything for the new season all the more frustrating. But there is light at the end of the tunnel: we now know when a trailer will be arriving!
Fan films aren't just a hobby anymore -- the director of the incredible 'Portal' fan film landed the directing gig for 'Y: The Last Man' based on the strength of his tribute video. We've partnered with Arcade Sushi to bring you what we think are the best video game fan films around.
The internet is rife with memes featuring old people, but some grandpas are just way more awesome than others.
The Angry Birds franchise turned to NASA for the development and promotion of their game Angry Birds Space. Now it appears the space agency is turning to the super-addictive game for their latest strategy to explore the great beyond.
Almost a quarter of a million votes were cast during Round 2 of the 2013 Taste of Country Bowl. All four matchups came down to the final day, with one being decided by a close margin, and another producing two winners. The Semi-Finals promise to be just as contested, with just six days for each team to prove that they're best in country music.
In a recent survey about the video game 'Hitman: Absolution', the results showed that about 89% of the parents polled, believe that violence in the video game was a huge problem. That's not really that surprising considering that particular game is rated M, for 'mature' and is not meant for kids. In any case, I wanted to see what you thought about video games and violence.
Though HBO will surely have itself a productive weekend these next few days, we're still more than two months away from the hotly anticipated premiere of 'Game of Thrones' season 3! We've seen one enticing teaser thus far, though admittedly light on new footage or details to go on. Now, to commemorate the 'Girls' and 'Enlightened' premieres this weekend, HBO has issued a new 'Game of Thrones' season 3 preview, and it's...well, there's a three-eyed raven! And a song! Cryptic 'Game of Thrones' teases await inside!
It's no secret we're pretty big into video games and the whole idea of bringing some of the fan favorites to life on the big screen. With Ghost Recon, Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell, Deus Ex, Need for Speed and God of War as the latest ones to start preliminary motions for their companion movies, we still have our own list of bestsellers we'd like to see join in on the action, one of which is definitely Call of Duty. However, if you're holding out to see this particular video game hit theaters, you might be waiting for a real long time... like, forever!
While our weekend COD and pizza binges are always a good time, it's also nice to have interactions with other humans sometimes. At least that's what we've heard. If you love video games and aren't paralyzingly agoraphobic, arcades are a good time. Sadly, we lose more of them every day, but this one in Colorado is alive and well, and worth the trip.
Last year was a great year for video games, and especially Ubisoft. The company experienced continued success with its best-selling games, like Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell, both of which were also announced to receive the big screen treatment. Fortunately for fans of the video game movie genre, Ubisoft has big plans for this venture into film, recently announcing the next big gaming sensation to eventually hit the theaters -- Ghost Recon.
