| ms03 Introduction |
Thank you for choosing my guide for all your magician needs. Welcome, and I hope my guide covers all the
needs you may have. Enjoy my immense knowledge of MS to your heart's content.
| ms04 What is MapleStory? |
MapleStory is a Massively-Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game, or MMORPG. It is filled with beautiful
scenery, massive maps, and the worst possible community there could be. Nonetheless, if you chose to
read this part (it's doubtful many will) then you don't care about my personal opinions of the game. Back
to the facts: MapleStory is a massive 2D side-scrolling RPG, where the in-game characters (all of them)
are fantastically made anime-style sprites. Then again, it was made originally in Korea, home of some
of the best artists in the world. It has many character customization options available (although most
require you to spend REAL money and buy them in the Cash Shop).
| ms05 Early Mage Life (Becoming One, etc.) |
First you must create you character, and for the mage (like all the other jobs) there is a perfect set of
stats for you to roll. Sometimes you can roll the stats right away, sometimes it takes hours. Perfect
stats are as follows:
INT: Anything, as long as STR and DEX are 4.
LUK: Anything, as long as STR and DEX are 4.
While those are the BEST stats you can roll, having a 5/4, 4/5, or even a 5/5 is acceptable (5/5 is only for those
lazy ones out there).
Now you're on Maple Island. The requirements for being a magician are level 8, and Int at 20, but if you add stats
right, your Int will me much larger than that. I'm not going to explain everything you go through, but being a
mage on Maple Island SUCKS. You hit for 1 to 3 damage, and the weakest enemy om the Island, the Green
Snail, has 8 HP. So guess what? You get to train on Green Snails until level 8. Upon reaching level 8, travel
to Southperry, take the boat (far right of the map), and you arrive at Victoria Island. Now, take the taxi to Ellinia,
and climb to the very top of Ellinia, and enter the house. Speak to Grendel the Really Old (formerly known as
Hines), and he will make you into a Magician. He will also give you 1 skill point. Put this point into Energy
Bolt. This is CRUCIAL, because otherwise you will have to survive off of your 1-3 points of damage for another
| ms06 Magician Stat Allocation |
Okay, no more beating around the bush, here's the stat allocation for magicians. Luck must always be 3
above the current level of your character, and EVERYTHING ELSE GOES TO INTELLIGENCE!!! You wouldn't
believe how many people tell me how they put some strength points in so that they could be
"0ob4r 5tR0|\|G!!1!" Okay, so here's thats stat allocation stated MATHEMATICALLY:
Luck = Level + 3, so every level (after you get it to 3 over your level) you add stats like this:
Luck + 1, Int + 4 (I.E.: If you're level 11, your Luk would be 14, and your Str and Dex would be 4, and Int
would be massive.)
| ms07 Magician Skills and Allocation |
First of all, here's a list and description of all the Magician skills:
Improving MP recovery:
- Prerequisites: none
- Master level: 16
- description: With this skill you'll be able to recover even more MP every 10
seconds. MP recovery is also dependant on the level of the mage.
Improving Max MP Increase:
- Prerequisites: Improving MP recovery 5
- Master level: 10
- description: This skill will increase the amount of MP you get per level up.
The more points in the skill the more MP. Also if this skill has points in
it if you should decide to put a stat point into MP then the increase would
be more than normal.
Defensive Skills (skills that improve your defence, must be cast):
Magic Guard:
- Prerequisites: none
- Master level: 20
- description: Temporarily replaces damage to HP with MP. If there is no MP
the hp takes a full beating.
Magic Armor:
- Prerequisites: Magic Guard 3
- Master level: 20
- description: Temporarily boosts weapon defense of the mage
Offensive Spells (butt-whooping skills):
Energy bolt:
- Prerequisites: none
- Master level: 20
- description: Uses MP to shoot a bolt of magic at an enemy. MP cost doubles
at level 11
Magic Claw:
- Prerequisites: Energy Bolt 1
- Master level: 20
- description: Uses MP to attack the enemy two times with a magic claw. The MP
cost doubles at level 11
Now here's how you SHOULD add your skills in:
Lvl 8: Energy Bolt - 1
Lvl 9: Improving MP Recovery - 3
Lvl 10: Improving MP Recovery - 2, Improving Max MP Increase - 1
Lvl 11: Improving Max MP Increase - 3
Lvl 12: Improving Max MP Increase - 3
Lvl 13: Improving Max MP increase - 3 (Maxed)
Lvl 14: Improving MP Recovery - 3
Lvl 15: Improving MP Recovery - 3
Lvl 16: Improving MP Recovery - 3
Lvl 17: Improving MP Recovery - 2, Magic Claw - 1
Lvl 18: Magic Claw - 3
Lvl 19: Magic Claw - 3
Lvl 20: Magic Claw - 3
Lvl 21: Save SP
Lvl 22: Save SP
Lvl 23: Magic Claw - 9
Lvl 24: Magic Claw - 1 (Maxed), Magic Guard - 2
Lvl 25: Magic Guard - 3
Lvl 26: Magic Guard - 3
Lvl 27: Magic Guard - 3
Lvl 28: Magic Guard - 3
Lvl 29: Magic Guard - 3
Lvl 30: Magic Guard - 3 (Maxed)
Now, some people argue that Energy Bolt is better than Magic Claw. Truthfully,
this is all opinions, but Magic Claw does much more damage and can go through
walls, but costs 4 more MP at max level. Energy Bolt does less damage, cannot
go through walls, and costs 20 MP at max level. You may choose whichever you
want, but my recommendation is Magic Claw.
| ms08 Early Leveling Areas (lvl. 1-30) |
Here are the top rated training areas for magicians levels 1-30:
Levels 1-8: Green Snails at Maple Island
Levels 8-13: Henesys Hunting Ground 1
Levels 13-18: The Slime Tree (if you don't know the location, just ask someone in Ellinia)
Levels 18-24/25: Pig Beach (if you don't know the location, ask someone in Lith Harbor)
Levels 24/25-30: Kerning City PQ (there are guides on many websites telling you how to get
in these and also how to do them)
| ms09 2nd Job Advancement |
Congratulations! Now that you're level 30 (or now that you've read down this far), you can
make the choice for 2nd job advancement: Fire/Poison Wizard, Ice/Lightning Wizard, or
Cleric. First of all, however, you must pass a simple test. Go talk to Grendel (Hines), and
he will inform you of how much stronger you are (like you didn't already know), and how
you are ready to get another job advancement. He will give you a letter, which you take
to a map called "The Forest North of Ellinia." Once arriving there, you climb all the way
to the top, and talk to the NPC at the top. He will take you to a hidden map where you
go and collect 30 dark marbles. Upon doing this, talk to the old man in this map and he
will give you "Proof of a Hero." Take this to Hines. Congrats on whichever job you chose!
Didn't choose a job? That's partially what I'm going to help you with further on.

I didn't read anything, I just looked at the skill set up you had, but after you max heal you should max MP eater if you're solo, since you won't need as much mp or hp pots by then(I didn't need pots at all till I hit the high levels..Lol.)
Anyways I'd max Heal then mp eater then invincible.
With invincible you won't get hurt a lot, and you can spam heal on undeads and regain your hp and mp with mp eater, replace magic guard for invincible so you won't lose as much mp when you get hit, and you will get completely healed while you are spamming heal to kill the undeads.
Anyways I'm kinda busy so I can't give you some good critique right now, you'l have to deal with my crappy grammar..for now D:
Please keep in mind that I went for the most common setup, and that this guide was written in 2006. It is quite outdated, but I thought it'd be better than nothing.

There are a bajillion threads in the forum asking this very question, but Mark recently covered this in his blog as well:

It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. - Samuel Adams
It depends on how much you enjoy cheese. I tried nutritional yeast once and fortunately Whole Foods has a very liberal return policy.

Who says back fat is a bad thing? Maybe on a hairy guy at the beach, but not on a crab.
I work in a grocery co-op that is very popular with the vegetarian/vegan crowd. We sell a lot of nutritional yeast. Some people will smother their cafe plates with it. I can't stand the smell of the stuff and I have to keep myself from making a face when I ring someone up that has it. Umm does that answer your question?
I never know what to put in these things. I write songs!
My mother used to feed us stuff like that when I was a kid. That's one reason I only eat real food.

Why we created Dome9
We launched Dome9 Security in 2012 because we sensed there was an emerging market need in the area of securing cloud infrastructure. That emerging need has grown into a clear market gap with the widespread adoption of cloud infrastructure and the founding philosophy of Dome9 is more true now than ever before.
- The public cloud is growing at an exponential pace, with widespread adoption ranging from enterprises to born-in-the-cloud startups.
- Traditional security tools don't work well in this environment.
- Cloud infrastructure vendors such as AWS, Azure, etc. are building in some robust network security controls.
- What is lacking is a single security operations console that can:
- Operate at the speed of cloud.
- Enable enterprises to add additional layers of security and compliance.
- While leveraging all existing controls provided by the underlying cloud platform.
- Simplify day-to-day secops for IT, reduce the attack surface and help achieve faster compliance.
Our unique and innovative solution provides:
- Network security policy management and automation for the customers entire cloud environment – that works across AWS and other cloud services, regions and accounts.
- A complete set of security controls including firewall management, visualization, file integrity monitoring, configuration monitoring, dynamic access leases and tamper protection.
- Industry pioneering technology that is purpose-built for and as elastic as the underlying infrastructure and can help simplify security operations, reduce the attack surface and speed up compliance.

Sandwiched between the flower stalls and vegetable stands of Seattle's Pike Place Market, the crew from Pike Place Fish has created a must-see stop for tourists. Plying the art of fish throwing along with charm and customer service, their true mission these days is sustainability.
Taking the art of fishmongering to new levels, they're perhaps best known for making spectacles of themselves daily, throwing fish and hamming for tourists at the nation's oldest continually operating farmers market. Always ready with smiles and cooking tips, their friendly approach has landed them countless cameos on television and in movies, including "Free Willy."
Spreading the word on sustainable fishing practices and scale-to-tail eating, in 2011 Pike Place Fish devoted itself to carrying only sustainable seafood.
These guys take seafood seriously, not themselves.
Teaming up to share their expertise, the fishmongers of Pike Place Fish spent the last four years gathering their best stories, seafood tips and recipes, including their popular Northwest Seafood Seasoning and famous Salmon Patties. Their new book is "In the Kitchen with the Pike Place Fish Guys: 100 Recipes and Tips from the World-Famous Crew of Pike Place Fish" (Viking Studio, $30).
We spoke with Justin Hall, an assistant manager at Pike Place Fish and one of the 16 crew members who shared their tips for the book. Hall started working at the market when he was 13 and went full time five years later, in 1991.
Find tips and recipes or order fish and rubs from Pike Place Fish through its website, pikeplacefish.com.
Q. At 13, what was your first job at Pike Place Fish?
A. Basically, whatever they were telling me. Pushing the broom around, handing around samples of smoked salmon. I'm the assistant manager now. We have one manager and three assistant managers because we're open seven days a week.
Q. How did this book come together?
A. It took four years. We needed recipes for the cookbook. We asked our customers. We asked people we buy fish from, the whole damn world. Then we tested them and took the ones we loved.
Q. How many members make up the crew at Pike Place Fish today?
A. There are 16 of us who work there, along with John Yokoyama, who has owned it since 1965. I've actually worked on the floor of the market longer than he has, but he actually worked at a fish market longer than I have.
I work at a fish market, but it is more of a destination now. If everyone who showed up at our market bought fish, we'd have to double our staff. We have a lot of people come just to see it. Most of the people just show up to watch us throw fish. When John worked there, if you were there you were there to buy fish. We wish everybody bought fish, but we love that everybody comes. Every business should be so well thought of that people come to watch them work.
Q. You buy fish just for the spectacle of throwing?
A. Totally. People come just to see us throw fish, so you don't want to have someone not get what they wanted. They're all future customers, and besides they're all people, so we want to take care of them. Everybody who wants to see a fish fly will.
When the fish literally has been beat up to the point of us not being able to do anything with it, we put it on a bag, write "bear food" on it, put it in the freezer and every few weeks take it to a zoo. Otherwise someone from a nonprofit named Wolf Haven International, located in southwestern Washington, picks it up.
Q. What does sustainability mean when it comes to fish?
A. When we're talking about seafood, it means these fish will be around for years to come, in a nutshell. We base all our efforts off the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Sustainability Guide. That means all these fish out there that we eat and consume, through scientific research, they tell us why we should continue to harvest this fish. Or why we should avoid eating monkfish. It means we are paying attention to how it is being taken from the water.
Q. What are some fish you chose not to carry when you pursued sustainability?
A. Atlantic Salmon, all farm-raised salmon, Chilean sea bass. Most of us it has to do with a lot of countries that don't participate in a management program. You can't prove anything about how it has been handled. You can't back up what you're telling me. Everything I get is documented.
Q. What are the concerns with farm-raised fish?
A. A salmon farm in the Pacific Ocean with Atlantic salmon . . . (they're) penned and could escape. This is not sustainable. There's a lot of salmon and they're grown tight; if one gets sick, there's a higher chance of the rest getting sick, so they have to give them high antibiotics.
They produce a lot of waste, which falls straight down into the ocean. Also, Atlantic (salmon) is an invasive species in the Pacific Ocean, so when they escape - and they will - they eat more food than the other salmon would.
Q. What should people look for when shopping for fish?
A. Go to your fish counter and meet the people. A lot of people don't talk to the people where you get your food. Meet the person who gives you the food. You should actually want to get to know them.
That's the thing that separates us. "Hi, I'm Justin. I'm at the market Sunday through Thursday. I will give you not what has to get sold, but what you want to take home with you."
Q. Some of the pieces people might never to think to buy are the ones you prefer to take home to your families. What are some of those?
A. Those are like secrets you're telling me to give up! The collar of any fish. It is the cut right behind the head, where the fins attach; you'd cut it off so the fillet would be pretty. That part is the fattiest, juiciest part of any fish.
Turn your broiler on, lightly salt that collar on both sides, and broil it. If you have a half-pound collar sitting on that sheet, broil it for about a minute and a half on each side. It's very fatty, very juicy, the best.
Q. Strangest request from a customer?
A. Probably, "Hey, will you come to my house and cook it for me?" That's a common one. They're only half-joking.
The strangest one is "Will you pin bone it?" No. Do you know that's a labor intensive item? That can easily be done after it is cooked. The more you have a butcher or monger touch your fish, the more it drives the price up.
And always, "Can I catch my fish?" They really want to go behind the counter. And it's awesome. (Yes, they do let customers catch their fish.)
Q. What do people who are buying frozen fish need to know?
A. Just make sure it is wild. Don't buy farm-raised salmon. It is not worth it. You're buying something that's not helping out. If you can't buy wild salmon, you can do all the recipes with whitefish, trout or cod. You can mix it up.

BRAUSA Health and Fitness for the Sighted, Blind and Visually Impaired
Rating: 5 stars 10 10 reviews
12625 Pacific Ave Apt 8 Los Angeles CA 90066 USA
BRAUSA is dedicated to promoting health and fitness, providing cultural education, and building community through the preservation and sharing of Braziian arts, culture and sport. Our goal is to make Kapoeira accessible to all, including the blind and visually impaired.
Target demographics:
The blind and visually impaired community.
Geographic areas served:
Greater Los Angeles, CA (though we hope to expand!)
We provide free Kapoeira classes for the blind and visually impaired. Due to its multi-faceted nature, Kapoeira provides many benefits to this community. Master Raiul created a curriculum specifically designed to cater to the challenges they face every day. Some benefits include: • Improved balance and increased strength. • Access to both aerobic and anaerobic exercise, which increases power and muscle mass and improves cardiovascular and respiratory systems. • Development of gross motor skills (large body movements such as punches, kicks, acrobatics, and grappling) and fine motor skills (more detail-oriented movement such as playing various Kapoeira instruments – berimbau, tambourine, drums). • Improved self-defense skills • Increased socialization • Increased self-esteem and self-confidence • Having FUN!

Reviews for BRAUSA Health and Fitness for the Sighted, Blind and Visually Impaired
BRAUSA - a team of compassionate individuals bringing martial arts and Brazilian culture to those of fortunate enough to cross paths with them. I have trained with them on and off for several years and they have enriched my life in a great way. There's something about bouncing around on the mat with with music and likeminded people that fills me with great joy. Mestre Raiul and Co are compassionate about what they do and selfless in their care for all us who have the privilege to be a part of their group.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Increased perception of the immediate physical space surrounding people. As you gain experience in the sparring known as the roda you get a feel for the range and capabilities of the other participants. This also applies as you meet people outside of class. You can kind of sense if people have martial arts training or not by their posture and bearing - It's a subtle thing.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I am happy with classes as they are!
BRAUSA brought free weekly Kapoeira classes to visually impaired and blind teens at Braille Institute in Los Angeles during Winter/Spring 2011. This integrative sports program was highly effective as it integrated a multisensory approach to teaching teens physical exercise by means of coupling instrumental music playing with the practice of martial arts to challenge our students physically, mentally and uplifting them emotionally. BRAUSA is a worthwhile organization to support because they bring a successful rehabilitative exercise to the blind and visually impaired population.

I would like to see Kapoeira taught to as many visually impaired and blind youth as possible. Thank you BRAUSA!

BRAUSA wants to offer FREE classes to visually impaired and blind individuals. May they be sustained financially, so they can continue to do the meaningful work they do. Always working from the heart and serving the people by teaching Kapoeira!
I never knew Kapoeira. The first time I heard about it was at the Braille Institute, when Master Raiul brought the BRAUSA Kapoeira classes there. I am so glad Kapoeira found me. I was so surprised how vigorous the exercise is. Physically I got stronger. And it's very good for self-defense, especially for visually impaired people. The music makes me feel like I have no limits, that I can go beyond them. I never played musical instruments before, and the pandeiro, berimbau and atabaque are so interesting and fun to play!
All my life I never exercised, until I lost my eyesight. It was a new beginning for me. I've never been this healthy before. I don't feel 66 years old. You forget your age.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Handicapped people need this more, especially the visually impaired because they lose equilibrium. Exercise helps with this. And now it's my job to exercise. I have fallen a lot, twisted my ankles, stumbled. Now, after doing Kapoeira, I don't fall anymore. I am much more confident with just moving around, and I walk much faster now. And sometimes I even run with my guide dog on the beach!
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
ask BRAUSA to provide transportation for students. Transportation is a big barrier for the visually impaired. Also, they should offer more classes at more locations so more people have access to them.
BRAUSA's Kapoeira classes are fantastic! Master Raiul has amazing patience to teach the visually impaired. I myself am visually impaired, and I know it is not easy to teach something like Kapoeira to those with disabilities. I love Kapoeira because it is a big challenge, and it is stimulating. I was discouraged from doing exercises or sports because of my disability. My doctor recommended that I only walk for exercise, but I am too young to only walk, and it's too boring for me! I wanted something else to do that was more challenging and more interesting. So I was excited when I heard about Kapoeira classes specifically for the visually impaired. For us, we don't have many exercises available to us, nor do we have knowledgeable teachers educating us about health and nutrition. I think BRAUSA is special because they also encourage youth to exercise and learn about fitness, which is especially critical for sedentary-prone blind or visually impaired kids.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
taking the Kapoeira classes. I wasn't sure if I would be able to do Kapoeira because I needed to make sure the pressure in my eyes was okay. After starting classes with Master Raiul, I learned a lot about exercising and eating health, and I have lost 48 pounds! I feel much lighter and stronger. And my eye pressure has been maintained! I am extremely happy to be able to do Kapoeira. I personally feel I have no excuse to be overweight. Even though I am visually impaired, I can still exercise!
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
increase awareness about what Kapoeira is and that there are classes for people like me! I'd like more Kapoeira classes, and I'd like to learn more about the history of what Kapoeira is, where it came from, what it was used for, etc.
How would you describe the help you got from this organization?
How likely are you to recommend this organization to a friend?
How do you feel you were treated by this organization?
Very Well
How did you find this group?
Kapoeira classes were being offered at the Braille Institute in Los Angeles.
What, if any, change in your life has this group encouraged?
Leading a healthy lifestyle through exercise and diet.
I am so grateful to know Master Raiul at BRAUSA and learn Kapoeira from him! He is so passionate about helping the visually impaired and he is providing a wonderful service! I have never met anyone who has really wanted to improve fitness in the blind and visually impaired community! I had an accident at work in 2004 that left me totally blind. I became depressed and I gained a lot of weight. Before the accident I was very active - I played soccer three times a week! And after the accident I tried to find some kind of exercise that I could do without sight to make me feel better. But there was no information about what I could do, and walking and doing push ups were not enough. After six surgeries in each eye some of my sight was restored, but I was still searching for a way to feel better and escape depression. Luckily, Master Raiul was providing free Kapoeira classes at the Braille Institute. I didn't know what Kapoeira was or if I was able to do martial arts, but I decided to check out his class. Kapoeira was an exciting new sport for me, and I felt safe learning from Master Raiul. Now, after doing Kapoeira for 7 months, I feel a lot better. I am stronger and more confident. I invited my family and friends to class, and now my son takes classes with me every week. We love Kapoeira!

Taking the Kapoeira classes has made me stronger and more confident. Now I feel free to take my shirt of at the beach! I have also met new people, made new friends and strengthened old friendships through these classes. I truly believe in BRAUSA's mission to bring fitness to the blind and visually impaired community through Kapoeira, and I hope to volunteer with this organization in the future.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
It would be great if more Kapoeira classes were being offered at different times during the day every day of the week! That way more people could benefit from this amazing service. It would also be helpful if there were specific classes dedicated to educating the community about nutrition. Master Raiul does talk about nutrition sometimes during Kapoeira class, but it would be nice to have a regular class about nutrition offered.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Marreon Jackson has three boys basketball teammates at Garfield Heights who signed with Division I colleges. It was only a matter of time he took the same path.
A 6-foot junior point guard for the Bulldogs, Jackson verbally committed Monday to the University of Toledo.
"It was building up to Toledo for a while now," Jackson said. "I just wanted to make it final."
Other interested schools included Kent State, Cleveland State, Buffalo and Eastern Kentucky. Bigger schools, such as DePaul and Michigan, began to show interest, Garfield Heights coach Sonny Johnson said.
"But you want to go where you're wanted," Johnson said.
Jackson visited Toledo last month and noticed coach Tod Kowalczyk's rotations. Freshmen entered the game early and down the stretch.
That told Jackson he could play immediately.
The Rockets have seven freshmen this season on their 13-man roster. They began the week 16-9 with a 7-5 Mid-American Conference record, which is tied for first in the West Division. Jackson is leading a 17-4 Garfield Heights team that is ranked fourth in the cleveland.com Top 25 and closes its regular season Wednesday at home vs. No. 6 St. Ignatius.
After that, the Bulldogs open the postseason as the top seed in the Division I Solon District. They reached last year's state semifinals, and Jackson said he wanted to make his decision before the stretch run.
Colleges began to offer scholarships when senior teammates Willie Jackson (Missouri), Frankie Hughes (Louisville) and Braun Hartfield (Youngstown State) announced their commitments.
"When they committed, I was happy for them," Jackson said. "At the same time it made me want to go harder."
Each teammate offered advice. Hartfield told Jackson to worry more about a school's fit than prestige.
Toledo happens to offer a curriculum that suits his desire to major in accounting.
"I'm real good with numbers," Jackson said.
He calculates he will be one of five family members playing in college in the next few years. Older brother Marquis Jackson, who played on Garfield Heights through 2012, is a junior guard at Ohio Christian University. They have a cousin, Denzel Carter, at Martin Luther King with aspirations of walking on to a college basketball program.
And there's an Ohio State football-bound cousin on the side of their mother, Lawanda Jackson.
That's North Ridgeville running back Demario McCall, a second cousin who earlier this month signed his National Letter of Intent.
Marreon Jackson began as a football player, too, but quickly took to basketball. His father, Herman Jackson, took him on daily trips to the gym to improve his game.
A lifelong friend of Herman Jackson, Sonny Johnson remembers dad's influence.
"I knew he was going to be special because his dad always kept him in the gym," Johnson said.
"Toledo is going to get a hard worker and unbelievable leader with a high basketball IQ. He's somebody who is mentally tough because of what his father put into him."
When Jackson tried AAU basketball, his father made him play up two grade levels. Jackson credits that experience and trips to the Lonnie Burten Recreation Center for molding his future.
He still stops by now.

Reasons to Choose Family Mobile Plans
Below we presents to you some useful things you should know about how to and which family plan to use.
Family Mobile plans: minutesThe first thing you should it's to realize in which way you are going to use your minutes. Most cell phone companies provide free minutes for clients in different times during the day or to some certain phone numbers.
Then second thing, is to know which areas you will generally make calls to, because some companies give unlimited national country phone calls and other companies don't.
And the last thing is to know how many members of the family will participate in the family mobile plan.
Family Cell Phone Plans: coverage mapThis is the most important thing for any mobile plan. Because any plan that you choose can be cheap but also needs to have a good coverage in signal to be able to make phone calls without having any problem.
A good place to visit and acquire more and better information about this subject it's in the cell phone companies' web site. There's also the help your family and friends can provide to you by asking them which company can best suit you and how good their coverage is.
Family Mobile Plans: number of phonesFamily cell phone plans generally include only 2 phones, and they will charge you additional fees if you want more cell phones. If you want to add more phones later for your kids or any relative you should choose another plan that involves more than two phones.
Family Cell Phone Plans: text messages and data planNowadays phones for us are more than simple phones, we basically have our summarized life in this small important device, and we check our email, browse the web, and much more.
Of course kids are the people of the family that use the cell phone much more and can spend more that's why you should find a plan that suits this type of situation and your pocket.

I have lived in Austin since 1979 and seen it grow and develop extensively during that time. After seeing what was out there, I decided there was a need for a home-type setting right in the middle of downtown as a true alternative to the common hotel that could provide a nice, comfortable and affordable way for my guests to really experience Austin! Even after 30 years I can still find something fun and new to do near this location; the location is perfect - you don't even need a car. You can take the elevator down to Austin's famous 6th Street and start exploring on foot. The Austin Visitor's Center is 1/2 block away if you have any questions during your visit, and we also provide a welcome packet with a few suggestions of our own. There is truly something for all ages in near this home away from home.
Chereen Fisher purchased this condo in 2010
Location, Location Location! There is something to do for all ages PLUS you can walk to most all of it.
Stayed in this condo with five of my girlfriends from college for three nights.
The location is great! It is centered right in the middle of East (dirty 6th street/college bars) and West 6th street (younger professionals). You can walk about anywhere from this location and there are so many places to eat and drink around here. There was a market right next door to the condo, which served us well after the bars!
The property was cleaned and well maintained. Upstairs is a big loft with two twin beds and one king bed. There is only one bathroom, but it didn't seem to be an issue. Recommend staying in this place if you're looking to stay near nightlife.
The apartment was clean, easy to access, affordabley priced, and centrally located. Balcony off the master bedroom was a nice bonus!
Visiting executive and his staff stayed here the week of our company holiday party. All enjoyed their visit.
Can't beat the location of this downtown loft! We experienced the true downtown Austin living and were able to watch all the action right from our balcony. Certainly big enough for our girls' weekend (just the 3 of us). The reserved parking was an added plus! We spent our time walking around the downtown area and everything else was just a short drive away. Owner was very responsive to our questions. Didn't have time to try all the great BBQ... So will definitely need to go back and keep this place in mind.
The description and pictures of this loft are spot-on. It's literally located at the feet of 6th St and there isn't a single need for a car the entire weekend if you plan on just sticking around Austin. Using the info from one of the other reviews we grabbed a shuttle from the airport and it dropped us off right in front of the building. The balcony doesn't overlook 6th St but that almost certainly helps in the noise department.
We had 6 in the unit and everyone slept comfortably. There is only 1 bathroom and that's a bit of a drawback but we made it work just fine.
Just to give an indicator of how well we all liked the place, I have a friend whose possibly traveling to Austin this spring who stayed here and this was his first option for accommodations.
This loft was the perfect spot for us! Close to the Driskill for the wedding we were attending, an easy walk to the children's museum with our grandson, and a fun view of Halloween partying on 6th street from the loft's balcony. We are in Austin a lot but this was a new and very enjoyable experience. The loft was charming and very comfortable.
Located right in the heart of downtown Austin near famed 6th Street & Congress Avenue. Minutes to the Capital, University of Texas, Museums & Entertainment District. 1 hour from San Antonio, 3 hours from Houston, 3.5 hours from Dallas.

I remember walking to the store with my friends to buy a couple sodas. It was a beautiful summer day, and as we were walking, we noticed something... that looked like.. a picture of.. yes.. a naked woman!
I think it was my friend Manny who noticed it first and pointed it out to us. It was about 10 feet back off the side of the road in the long grass - folded, crinkled, a bit crumpled up some damage to the outside pages but the inside was in pretty good shape.
We have seen 'nudie magazines' before thanks to Nick's dads "secret" stash - but we never saw anything quite like this before - it was a bunch of stories.
The sodas had to wait, we took off with it into our spot in the woods and started exploring it.
I think it was Penthouse Letters - remembering back over my preferences through time, I remember always liking the writing in Penthouse much more than other magazines... and we never got rid of that thing, so it must have been golden quality.
The things we understood were hot... and the things we didn't understand were even hotter!
After finding this, we'd be calling each other names based on what we thought were the most wild references we could remember. I can only imagine what they were.. we thought we were so sexually advanced, out there and sophisticated. If an adult ever heard the way we were using these terms, we likely would have been laughed off the planet. Forget being grounded or beaten - this must have been comedy gold to hear.
But nonetheless, we were getting off on this in a big way.
This summer was ours. We went from throwing rocks, building forts and what not, to wondering what Mike's mom looked like naked... and what kind of things that lady with the big jiggly boobs would do when she wasn't beating her carpet against the fence with a broom.
Not too terribly long ago I happened upon Penthouse online in a fit of nostalgia (or so I thought).
Let me tell you, it's a long distance from magazine memories to massive online archives!
They have Penthouse Letters - Variations and Penthouse Forum all available for erotic reading in addition to a bunch of porn with Penthouse quality chicks and Penthouse pets by name and year going back to the 70's - it's insane!
I have been tired of hopping around lame nasty stories sites that seem to mostly have really old stuff from the BBS days.. I was really excited to discover this - and I'm guessing you might be too since you ended up at this page, no doubt searching for sex stories.
You'll know you've hit the real deal the second you get there... way better than any magazine subscriptions I can remember in quality and value. I think you're going to love it...
You can have it all - and should be ready for it by now...
Go check it out!

text: Submitted by Stephanie Ogozalek on Tue, 01/05/2016 - 12:00pm Free Indoor Activities for Kids in New York CityEntertaining the kids during a long Northeast winter isn't easy—or cheap. Throw in an already cramped New York City apartment and a shortage of vitamin D and of course, everyone is eyeing the exit. Luckily, in NYC some of the best things in life are FREE (really). If your kids are bouncing off the walls and your wallet is screaming for a break from shelling out for another movie, theater outing, museum or drop-in play space, we've got you covered. Check out our list of more than 20 FREE indoor destinations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and elsewhere in NYC for fun, games or just a much-needed change of scenery. For more great indoor places, check out our Winter Fun Guide and Indoor Activity Guide. (Sign up for our FREE newsletters to get posts like this delivered to your inbox.) Make sure to check venue hours before heading out. 1. Head to your local library for no-cost fun. But remember, not all branches are created equally. The Children's Center at 42nd Street at the main branch of the New York Public Library, the Central Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library in Prospect Heights and the Children's Library Discovery Center in Jamaica, Queens are all destination-worthy, with wonderful children's sections and frequent family programming. Prefer to stay closer to home? Discover what's going on at all branches in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. 2. Visit an amenity-filled public atrium. Our favorites include the Ford Foundation's garden lobby on East 43rd Street and the Winter Garden in the Financial District. 3. Enjoy FREE storytimes every day of the week at bookstores and other kid spots. 4. See what else is going on at some of our favorite independent bookshops, including author readings, crafts activities and even puppet shows. 5. Stop by the FDNY Fire Zone in Rockefeller Center to learn about fire safety from a real firefighter. General admission is FREE. 6. While in the neighborhood, check out amazing recreations of NYC landmarks such as the Empire State Building and Rockefeller Center at the Lego Store in Midtown West. The shop also hosts occasional FREE maker-building events. Live further south? Visit the Flatiron Lego Store and rest in its lounge while your child admires the recreation of the neighborhood. 7. Explore the always FREE National Museum of the American Indian, housed in the historic U.S. Custom House. Programming includes family-friendly films, workshops and other no-cost fun. 8. Head to Grand Central Terminal to train-watch, try out the whispering gallery or take in one of the other kid-friendly activities. 9. See what's going on at one of the NYC Parks Department's many nature centers. Enjoy hands-on activities such as tours, crafts and face time with animals. 10. Get your game on at the just revamped Nintendo NY where kids can gawk at the giant Donkey Kong and test out not-yet-released tech and video games. 11. Hit one of NYC's other interactive megastores, while they still exist, like the magic mirrors and giant castle at the Disney Store Times Square, or try independent favorite Kidding Around in Grand Central or Flatiron. 12. Watch the bakers in action at Chelsea Market where a number of the city's best bakeries are rolling out dough, or read a story in the children's section of Posman Books after grabbing a bite at the market. 13. Register for a FREE youth program at your nearest Apple Store (there are several in Manhattan). Check out the latest gadgets and apps. 14. Don't forget Central Park! There are a handful of FREE indoor destinations in the 840-acre greenspace, including Belvedere Castle and the Chess & Checkers House. 15. Take in a FREE flick at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) or one of these other no-cost cinema spots. 16. Enjoy all genres of music at Carnegie Kids FREE neighborhood concerts, which take place at various venues throughout the city. 17.

Venue Details
Parking is NOT free for shows at the Levine School of Music, but is free for the Strathmore. Confusing and disappointing.star this tip starred
Leave home early, even if you live close. At this time of year and time of evening, Rockville Pike and other roads are usually bumper-to-bumper, plus the line to get into the parking lot (from Rockville Pike onto Tuckerman Lane, (vs. where you enter for the Mansion, despite the posted road sign), is one lane, also bumper to bumper. Parking is free but another challenge still lies ahead with long waits for elevators in the parking garage, transversing the long, elevated corrider between the parking lot and the venue, and additional elevators with long lines inside the venue, which take you to the level of your assigned seats (there is an elevator operator checking tickets and telling individuals if they're on the correct elevator, etc.). If you're not familiar with this whole scenario, best to leave a trail of breadcrumbs from your parking space to your seat, assuming there are no birds in sight. : \star this tip starred

Kettle Kickoff now under way
ST.?CLAIRSVILLE — The Belmont County Salvation Army and Ohio Valley Mall came together Thursday to kick off Kettle Season.
Each year, the Salvation Army collects for hundreds of local residents who need a helping hand during the holiday season.
Music in the center of the newly reopened and renovated Ohio Valley Mall was provided via two area schools. The Martins Ferry Ensemble and St. John Chorus came together for a few of our favorite Christmas tunes, as residents gathered to listen along before getting some early shopping done.
Two local entities helped jump-start the Kettle Kickoff by providing some very generous contributions for the holiday season. On behalf of the Ohio Valley Mall, George Diab placed a hefty $5,000 check into one of the Red Kettle's set up for the event while mentioning how great it was to be able to give back to the surrounding area. "Speaking on behalf of the Ohio Valley Mall, it's our honor to have the opportunity to give back to the surrounding area. This is what this Season is all about." he added.
Greenlance Inc. members, owners six Ohio Valley Burger Kings, were also there for the event. Recently, they donated Cinnabon product to be sold with the profits going to the Salvation Army. Since the product was donated, %100 of the proceeds were able to be given directly to the Salvation Army. In total, over $2100 was raised. Jeff Gay, Managing Director, and Jacki Snyder, District Manager of Greenlance, both explained how important this was for the community and Christmas season.
Major Louis Patrick, Executive Director of the Belmont County Salvation Army, led the event Thursday sharing thoughts and memories about the past years work. "This is such a great event heading into the Holidays. Without people like this, we would be able to serve the families who need a little extra help during the winter months. It really was a great turn out." Patrick reiterated.
There will be local Red Kettle's set up across the Ohio Valley in the upcoming weeks, be sure to help out as we head on towards Christmas.

A sugary candy on a man's front porch in Waukesha prompted a call to police.
According to the police log, a man at 445 Kimberly Drive found two packs of Sweet Tarts on the front porch of his house prior to 3:06 p.m. April 22.
He said he thought the candy was put there from someone who was trying to entice his children.
The caller thought finding the Sweet Tarts on his front porch was odd and didn't know if the candy had been tampered with or if it was even meant for his kids.
Police told the man to discard the candy.
Another odd Waukesha police incident came after police were called to 1012 Caroline St. at 12:27 a.m. April 21. Police could hear a man and female yelling with the woman yelling about taking her dog for a walk.
Upon police arrival, the woman was very intoxicated and unable and unwilling to provide officers with her reason for calling 9-1-1. She was emotional and became angry, calling officers "stupid" and "rookies."
The man inside told police the woman wanted to take a dog for a walk, but he would not let her due to the dog's energy and the woman's intoxication level.
For more Waukesha police items, including thefts, burglaries and other strange calls, see Waukesha Now's weekly police blotter page.

The Peyton Manning sweepstakes has begun, as ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that 12 teams have contacted the Peyton Manning camp.
Millions of NFL fans stuck with leaderless teams want No. 18 on their side, and newspapers and websites across the country are doing their best to deliver. From D.C. to Denver, they're offering readers a glimpse of what the former king of Indianapolis would look like wearing different team's uniform.
In short, they're playing with your head.
Will he wind up a 'Fin or a 'Skin? In the Desert or the Meadowlands? Who knows for sure. But through the magic of technology you don't have to wait and see what it'll look like.

Utilizing a modified scoring system, the Spartans defense came up strong during the nearly three-hour, 183-play "situational" scrimmage on Sunday in Spartan Stadium and on the practice fields.
Four turnovers helped the defense who had fallen to the offense a week ago 67-63 in the first scrimmage of the preseason.
Lippett and Adams made the two biggest plays of the day with Lippett taking back his interception 33-yards for a touchdown, while Adams closed out the scrimmage with a 32-yard score of his own.
They were not alone in making big plays on the day as Tyquan Hammock showed why his move back to defense will be a positive this season with nine tackles to go with an interception he returned for 26 yards.
Taiwan Jones continued to show why he'll have a great chance of seeing early playing time by recording nine assisted tackles on the day.
Also adding to the defensive stats was Taylor Calero who recovered a fumble.
Overall, the first string defense was perfect in the day not allowing the Spartans offense a touchdown.
Offensively the Spartans saw Kirk Cousins complete 11-of-25 passes for 153 yards and an interception. Back-up Andrew Maxwell didn't fare much better going 10-of-23 for 126 yards and two interceptions on the day.
Senior B.J. Cunningham pulled down four passes on the day for 96 yards and saw Keith Nichol and Keith Mumphery each pull down four passes each.
Redshirt freshman Nick Hill led the rushing attack for the second scrimmage in a row with 25 carries for 85 yards. Le'Veon Bell finished with 68 yards and Larry Caper added 66 of his own respectively.

Amber Heard Reportedly Granted Restraining Order Against Johnny Depp
Amid domestic violence allegations, Amber Heard has been granted a temporary restraining order, 'Variety' reports.
Amid domestic violence allegations, Amber Heard has been granted a temporary restraining order, 'Variety' reports.
The actor's rep issued a brisk statement to Us Weekly, highlighting the "brevity" of the couple's union.
From Gaga's 'AHS: Hotel' nomination to the snubs for Michael B. Jordan and Amy Poehler, these are the biggest surprises from the 2016 Golden Globe nominations.
It's safe to say that when you get into a relationship, it's hard not to feel threatened by your partner's ex/past.
Although Johnny Depp is now married to model Amber Heard, she still had some qualms regarding his past love...
He may have roots as a common thief, but these days, Captain Jack Sparrow is only stealing hearts.
As if there aren't enough reasons to love Johnny Depp, he's given us one more: on Tuesday, Captain Jack Sparrow himself made a surprise visit to Lady Cilento Children's Hospital in Australia to visit some of the patients.
Producer Sam is not happy about who is No. 1 on this list of the 20 most overrated actors of our time.
Actors! They're weird! Johnny Depp may be one of Hollywood's brightest stars, but that doesn't mean he's immune to the weirdness of artistry -- in fact, Depp has kind of gone whole hog on this being "out there" thing, and it's very much a part of his process as an actor. Considering his box office cache and personal success, yeah, it's worked for him.
So this is why we don't see Johnny Depp on stage very often (ever?) at awards shows. Last night at the Hollywood Film Awards, Depp introduced the documentary 'Supermensch,' about legendary talent manager Shep Gordon, and immediately made it pretty clear that he was not sober-minded. "That's the weirdest microphone I've ever seen in my life," he slurs—except, you know, it's just a regular microphone.
Since Johnny Depp has played every character under the sun -- a crazed hat-making ginger, dude with scissors for hands, serial-killer-barber, pirate, vampire, gonzo journalist, chocolate factory owner, undercover cop, cocaine dealer, cross-dressing director -- he figured he'd take a leap and play a Native American in the film version of 'The Lone Ranger.'
Which didn't go so well when it required him to ride a horse.
As Depp recounted on 'The Late Show With David Letterman' on Thursday night, Feb. 21, he almost died when a stunt involving a horse went awry. Thankfully for all of us, most of him (in particular, his beautiful face) was unharmed.
To further make it impossible to discern himself from Captain Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp is releasing an album of pirate songs.
Even though the fourth film in the franchise, 'Pirates of Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,' was the lowest grossing of the franchise domestically, that film - boosted by 3D - managed to make over a billion dollars worldwide. So that a writer has been hired to write 'Pirates of the Caribbean 5' should be no surprise.
