Mar, City on High (Part 1)Mature
Monstroth watched Matt disappear through one of the Voidgates and then turned to his master and Naetia. His master had a sour look, which meant he was just being his usual self, while Naetia seemed utterly terrified. It would be hard not to try and comfort her. She may have done wrong, but she had also just lost her brother. Monstroth had no idea how that must have felt but he could imagine what he would feel if Kaela died before him.
Well, maybe not completely.
The Sovereign seemed to notice Monstroth's longing and shook his head. Thank the Unscarred Creator he didn't comment on it. "We're wasting time," he said with a stern voice, "Let's be off to the City."
Then they began to walk.
The plains reminded Monstroth more and more of his desert home as they went. The hills that dotted the landscape matched the dunes and the way the long grass blew with the wind seemed very similar to sand. It would have been a pleasant sight had it not been for the cold. Naetia and his Master seemed fine - maybe even a little hot - but Monstroth nearly shivered with each gust that passed him.
Monstroth pulled his desert jacket tight, though it did little to help. "Master, why would the Nightguard kill Matt on sight?" he asked, trying to keep his mind off shivering. He knew the Nightguard were ruthless and generally had nasty tempers to go with it, but they seemed to do their jobs well from what his teachers said.
"Things have changed recently in Mar, boy," the Sovereign said, not bothering to take his eyes away from Naetia. Probably trying to find a reason to harm her. Monstroth didn't even doubt he would harm her, to be honest. The Sovereign of Mineral had already proven to be ruthless. "Void users are outlawed now."
"The Scarred Sanction?" Monstroth asked, curious now.
"Aye," his master said with a faint nod, "Though only partly." He nodded once more toward Naetia. "Some Void users in Mar started a mass theft, hitting several places all over the city. I assume now that our friend here is part of the group responsible."
Naetia seemed to sink at that, giving Monstroth and his master a little confirmation.
"Naetia, how can you be part of a group like this?" Monstroth asked the woman. Did she really have no will but to be a servant to this group? It was sad. Not even pitiable anymore.
"I..." Naetia shook her head a little, as if torn over something. How hard was it to choose to do the right in that situation? Kidnapping and stealing weren't exactly borderline deeds like what Monstroth and his Master had discussed before.
"Well?" Monstroth asked again. He wanted to hear her answer. He knew he probably wouldn't like it, but he wanted it anyway.
"There is no other way."
"No other way?" Monstroth was getting angry now. "What is the alternative then? Let your victims lead a peaceful life?"
Naetia halted and jerked her head back to look at Monstroth. There was still a fear in her features, but something else sparkled in her eyes. Determination? "You could never understand! You're just a sheltered prince! Why should I even-"
The Sovereign backhanded Naetia to the ground. Monstroth was surprised to find... that he wasn't surprised. Or even fazed, honestly. The woman had pissed him off. Why should he care if she was put in her place for her misguided beliefs?
"Girl," Monstroth's master said slowly, standing over her, "While I agree with you over this boy still being an ignorant... well, boy, I must ask that you give us the chance to understand." The sovereign grabbed Naetia by her collar and pulled her up, though didn't release her. "Why are these actions necessary, then?"
For all that his instincts told him to save her from the Sovereign, Monstroth stood still and said nothing. It wasn't that he was too angry to care anymore. No, he was still angry, but he had gotten it under control the moment his master slapped the woman. Now he simply knew to let his Master do what was right. Learning why this woman wanted him would lead to why Faereign was attacked. Why the general's eldest son had nearly died and his youngest was taken. Maybe even who had controlled Rhazin...
Naetia shook in the Sovereign's hand, but said nothing.
After a moment, the former bandit leader snorted and shoved his captive back, then started to walk once more. "A waste of time is what you are, Child."
Naetia froze. "How did...?"
Child? What did the master mean by that? And why did it make Naetia freeze? Her tanned face looked several shades lighter and she stared harshly at the Sovereigns back. Whatever fear she had held was gone, replaced with shock.

GMO giant DuPont hires ex-cops to 'enforce' patents
Anne Sewell
Nov 30, 2012 in
So far gone is the traditional act of saving your seed for the next harvest, now DuPont Co., the second-largest seed company in the world, uses former police officers to stop farmers illegally re-planting GMO seeds.
DuPont wants to use retired police officers next year to patrol farms in order to spot any potential "intellectual property theft."
In this way, the company is hoping to find farmers who purchased contracts for their genetically modified soybean seeds, but have now breached the terms of the contact by illegally using the same product for repeat harvests.
farmers replant these GMO seeds, which are licensed to, and patented by, DuPont, they can then be sued for invalidating their contracts, giving the seed giant yet more money for their efforts.
Charles Benbrook, a research professor at Washington State University's Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources, told
, "Farmers are never going to get cheap access to these genetically engineered varieties. The biotech industry has trumped the legitimate economic interests of the farmer again by raising the ante on intellectual property."
Following in the wake of their biggest competitor, Monsanto & Co., who are infamous for relentlessly suing small farmers caught abusing their GMO products, this latest maneuver is thought to be a form of intimidation.
DuPont has signed up with a Saskatchewan-based company, Agro Protection International, that contracts mostly retired police officers to patrol potential violations of IP law.
President Dennis Birtles told Bloomberg, "Everyone always goes to the idea that we are trying to intimidate people and nothing could be further from the truth. We are trying to create deterrence."
Agro Protection International already has about 45 employees patrolling Canadian farms, and a DuPont senior manager has confirmed that around three dozen will start searching farmers for IP violations in the US, starting next year.
Randy Schlatter of DuPont's intellectual property program office told the media that the contract with Agro will help their customers in the end, because honoring contracts will allow the GMO giants to continue to develop new products. They currently have more than 225 soybean seed patents.
"Our challenge is to get customers to understand the fact that strong intellectual property protection is a benefit that ends up at the customer level," Schlatter says. "If we can't make a profit, we can't invest and we can't bring out new products."
However, this news also comes shortly after it was reported that
GM cotton crops fell by at least 40% in India
, according to mainstream government reports. Other news has been making the headlines about GM corn, being heavily attacked by
'mutated' rootworms
, resistant to the pesticide-producing capabilities of the GMO crops and Monsanto wishing to experiment in this regard.

Hi everyone :) I have never planned a road trip before, so I could really use some help and suggestions.
I have a couple of friends coming in from the UK and we're looking to plan an 8 day road trip beginning and ending in Las Vegas 3/23-3/30 (this was done due to airfare/budget restrictions). We are basically trying to decide if the drive to Yosemite is worth it considering weather conditions, Tioga Pass being closed, and that it will eat up almost a whole day of our available time. Also, thanks to Valiantsontour from the Road Trip forum, I am now aware of the chain controls in place and understand we may have to take the YARTS bus if the conditions are bad.
Would the following itinerary be possible (and/or worth it)?
3/23: Early AM drive to Death Valley; Leave DV late PM, drive to Yosemite, stopover (Bakersfield?)
3/24: Continue drive to Yosemite, arrive around 12pm
3/25: Yosemite
3/26: Morning in Yosemite, begin drive to GCNP, Stopover (Barstow?)
3/27: Continue towards GCNP, stops along Route 66
3.29: GCNP to Page - Antelope Canyon
3/30: Page - Horseshoe bend, rafting drive, Return to LV
I welcome any and all feedback. Thanks in advance :)
I should mention that we are definitely interested in waterfalls and wildlife in addition to amazing scenery... so any feedback on how Yosemite would be at this time of year is also appreciated!Edited: 28 January 2013, 21:10

Darren Collison entered the 2012-13 season as the Dallas Mavericks starting point guard. During the final 23 games of the campaign, the 25-year-old came off the bench. Playing in the final year of his contract, some might think losing a starting spot means Collison and his agent have discussed a departure from Dallas. "To be honest, we haven't had too many discussions about anything, as of yet," Collison said during Thursday's end-of-season interviews at American Airlines Center. "I'm sure we are in the next few days or so, but as of right now, we haven't." Collison said he's "capable of playing for any team as a starter" but didn't rule out returning to the Mavericks and coming off the bench. The former first-round pick, who was traded to Dallas in July, averaged 12.0 points, 5.1 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.1 turnovers in 81 games this season. "I learned a lot about myself," Collison said. "I learned that I can pretty much take on any challenge. It was extremely tough. But the biggest thing I did was just put the team in front of me. It wasn't about me at the end of the day. It was coach's decision to play me coming off the bench. That was his decision and I learned to deal with it." So, what does Collison think of the way Rick Carlisle coached the Mavericks in his fifth season with the club? "I thought he did a good job with this ballclub, despite all of us being on the last year of our deals," Collison said. "Regardless of what he did to me, or what everybody may feel like he did to me, I still have respect for him and the rest of this organization." Follow Jon Machota on Twitter: @jonmachota

Squirty and The King of Bloogers
Squirty is a super fish that goes on an adventures. He does many amazing things, and its all fantabulous and dull
Squirty is a super fish. He has a blue diamond pinned to his left gill and likes to lick unicorn puppies. He has super adventures that are superly awesome and excitingly dull. This is the story of Squirty and the Blooger king.
Squirty was flying around in the middle of the sun when he found a letter that looked like a green blowfish had kissed it. Curious, he opened the letter and a small plaid dragon scale floated out. As he examined the scale, it began to talk to him.
"Hello! I am the plaid dragon scale and I am here to tell you that your going to go on an adventure that involves a flying unicorn with purple toenails, a king, and some other stuff i can't think up at this moment. Okay?"
Stunned by the talking scale, Squirty looked around the sun and replied,"Can i have a juice box first?"
So after Squirty drank his juice box, he threw it into the sun and it turned into a flying puppy that started to chew on its wing that was made out of peanut butter. As Squirty watched the puppy, the plaid dragon scale swam through the fire of the sun up behind him and bite him in the bottom. As Squirty turns to figure out what happened, he finds himself in a big green field of growing stuff, and sees a unicorn puppy. So he goes and licks the unicorn puppy. And it BITES HIS BOOGERS!!
But fish dont have boogers, so instead it stuck itself on Squirty's back. So now, Squirty can fly. kinda.

Norita O'Malley, 42, who had been employed as a midwife at Guy's Hospital in Southwark, was charged following an incident involving a child who was sleeping in a cot next to his mother on Sunday night.
The baby was later handed back to his alarmed mother by security staff. O'Malley appeared before District Judge John Zani at Tower Bridge Magistrates Court today, less than a mile from the hospital.
She pleaded not guilty to taking a child under 16 without lawful authority, and possession of cannabis.
Her solicitor, Sean Longley, told the court that his client had worked at Guy's until four or five years ago, when she was forced to retire due to a back injury. He said she was now studying to be a counsellor.
O'Malley, of Haringey, sat listening intently to court proceedings and clasping her hands together under her chin.
The judge declined to deal with the case and sent the matter to a Crown Court. He adjourned the case to decide if O'Malley should be granted bail.
He also made an order prohibiting publication of details which would lead to the identification of the child involved in the incident.

Super Coarse rubber granulate is high quality rubber granulate with a mix of particle sizes between 3 and 7 mm. A typical sieve curve can be downloaded from the download centre to the right where technical data sheets and material safety data sheets also can be found.
Super Coarse rubber granulate from Genan can be delivered in bulk containers, big bags of approx. 1.1 tonnes or 20/25 kg sacks.
Genan Holding A/S has today presented its annual report for 2016, and progress is notable in terms of both turnover and earnings. With this new, solid financial foundation, the Genan group is now truly free to look ahead after several years of turnaround.

In February 2017, the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) published its findings in an in-depth assessment of the use of rubber infill made from end-of-life tyres. Results were as clear as previous research, finding "at most, a very low level of concern from exposure to recycled rubber granulate".

Tirdas, 26th of Last Seed, 4E 201Mature
"Pinewatch is a true gift from the gods. The rustic hut on the hill hides a great and fearsome dungeon underneath, the kind of robbers' nest existing only in fables and tales. While it does not reward me with vast treasures, the gold kept by these thieves totaled more than a thousand coins! Not to mention all the weaponry and elixirs stored both in the house and underground! Surely these dead criminals won't mind I take some of this equipment with me…"
"I left the house before the first rays of sunlight could adorn the sky. I carried as little weight as possible: my bow and quiver, two silver daggers and an orcish greatsword I 'borrowed' from the bandits, as well as some healing potions, a bit of food, and a stick of charcoal to continue writing my journal entries."
"I had walked for barely two hours when I was suddenly faced with a series of disparaging events. It started with a man running towards me – a Redguard, I think, heading down the road I was climbing. He stopped me and begged me, with great apprehension, to keep an enchanted bow for him until his return. I agreed to do so, and he continued to run toward Falkreath. He did not run for long, though: out of the bushes sprang a Nord, with a bow in his hand. One shot was enough to stop the fugitive, who was still within sight when struck by the Nord's arrow."
"I resumed my trip, but was again halted – this time by Imperial soldiers. At first I thought they knew me, and were going to arrest me for my crimes in Cyrodiil; however, they seemed to lack even that little discipline which distinguishes legionnaires from common men. They demanded a toll, but I gave them steel instead. They turned out to be thugs under the guise of Imperial soldiers. Good riddance, I say to those scoundrels, for tarnishing with their evil intents a uniform I proudly wore once!"

Marriage?! Time to dial the charm down to zero.
Van did not think arranged marriage was "noble" at all. He decided that the best action would be to get thrown out and find his way home. As they walked into the throne room, Van hunched over and crossed his eyes. Morley looked at him suspiciously.
"What are you doing?" He asked in a hoarse whisper.
"What do you mean?" Van replied, giving a loud wet snort. He looked around himself in what he hoped was the overawed gawking of a simpleton, then began to gaze in genuine wonder.
The space was enormous, the ceiling made up of several soaring arches whose gargantuan trunks terminated in the ground near the walls. The windows were small and high, but light was provided by several voraciously burning torches, with lavish tapestries depicting scenes from legend spaced between. Seated in chairs were hundreds of gaudily dressed nobles. They had been talking before, but now turned to watch him in silence. Van felt some color rush to his face.
And in the front of the room there sat the king and princess. Van ran his gaze over her. She was not unpleasant looking, but she was not pretty enough to tempt him.
At his approach, the royals stood and walked off their dais. Morley elbowed him and knelt. He could have just said something, Van thought, following suit.
The princess stopped just few feet in front of Van. Time to get out of here, he thought.
"Princess!" he cried, and without being prompted, grabbed her hand and gave it a wet, slobbery kiss.
The king cried out. The nobles gasped. A lady fainted. Morley stared daggers at Van, who wondered if he had gone too far.

Positives of Brandon Harrison at Safety:
While Harrison is an excellent mold for cornerback, I think he also fits in nicely at free safety. The thing I think Brandon adds to Michigan's safety position is elite athleticism: the speed and range to cover the vast duties of a free safety. Although most people tend to believe the best athletes in a secondary should be at cornerback, when you look at the responsibilities of a free safety you begin to realize they are much better suited for that spot. Harrison is a special athlete who has the raw speed to cover sideline to sideline which is what you're looking for in a FS. A safety is required to cover deep halves and thirds of the field and in 'cover one' or 'man free' coverage he is the only deep help to the corners, so speed is key. I think this move, if it is permanent for the long run, will make the secondary significantly better in terms of coverage. He should be an excellent backup to Ryan Mundy. Ideally you want free safeties to be around 6-foot-1 or above, and while Brandon comes in short of that mark at 5-10 or less, let's not forget he has a 37-inch vertical which can make up for some of that.
As a free safety Harrison also has the responsibility of being the 'alley man' in stopping the run, meaning his main responsibility is cutbacks and backside pursuit of the run. As far as toughness and playing the run, I think it's always been obvious that Harrison is a fearless kid and the type of player who would crave the chance to come up and hit someone. In high school and in camps he was an 'in your face', physical type cornerback, so that should translate well over to safety. Physically speaking, nothing is stopping Brandon Harrison.
Notice, I covered size above and am NOT listing it here! But, lest we forget, football is 90-percent mental, 10-percent physical. Safety is one of the most underrated positions in terms of mental difficulty, and most do not realize just how much is demanded of them. If you ask me, the safeties have to be your most intelligent players on defense because they coordinate and adjust coverage to offensive motion among many other things. Safeties are the quarterback's per-se of the defense, and they control the adjustments in the secondary. It's nothing against Harrison, but this is something that takes a lot of time to pull off quickly and accurately. Learning how to adjust coverage's will take him time but he should be equipped enough to control things while substituting in. Also being a safety is predicated on instincts and film work, which helps a safety better read the field and make plays. This obviously will all come in due time for Harrison and it's understandable if he it takes him awhile to adjust and learn this part of his new role.
Overall I think this move, if permanent, could pay off very well for Michigan. In the short term, Michigan gets a bit of depth and instant athleticism they could rotate in this year if needed, while grooming a player who can physically do anything you want a safety to do. Brandon was in Ann Arbor as much as possible in the spring, working out and watching practices, so I have no doubt this young man can put in the work needed to succeed at the position. If Brandon gets the logistics of free safety down, this could blossom into quite a move for the Michigan secondary in the long run. And, naturally, he is always available at CB as well!

Filter sponges and fluorescent tubes as well as all components that are subject to normal wear, e.g. the impeller of the pump, are excluded from the guarantee. Any guarantee claim must be substantiated with a valid proof of purchase.
Set up the aquarium in accordance with the instructions for use and assemble the filter. Please ensure the correct positioning of the filter media as shown on the packaging of the filter display box. Remove all plastic packaging from the filter media (carbon sponge, poly pad, Nitrax sponge and optional Cirax/Phorax basket).

Then place your chosen substrate into the base of the aquarium along with any plants and other decorative items that you have selected, e.g. stones and roots. Then, fill the aquarium with water. Hint: Fill the aquarium through the filter box in order to minimise the disturbance of your décor. Once the aquarium is up and running and the temperature has stabilized consult your specialist retailer on how to mature your filter ready for live stock. The Filter needs bacteria to colonize within the sponges to make it safe for the introduction of Livestock. "
NO. The JUWEL aquarium includes a safety base frame which ensures an even distribution of the weight. The use of any support material between the aquarium and cabinet will invalidate your guarantee.

About Honda Hatchbacks
A brief history of the company
Soichiro Honda, founder of the Honda Motor Company, had a slow start to car manufacturing. As a young man he was a mechanic who went into business with an acquaintance in 1937. They founded Eastern Sea Precision Machine Company, and tried making small car parts for Toyota. Unfortunately they were unsuccessful, and it took a lot of learning and hard work to finally make parts that were acceptable to Toyota.
The company was placed under government control during World War II. They aided the war effort by making aircraft propellers.
After the war, Soichiro Honda sold (what was left of) ESPMC to Toyota, and set out on his own again. In 1946 he set up the Honda Technical Research Institute. Out of a small shack, 12 men worked to build and sell improvised motorcycles that were made with war surplus generator engines and bicycles.
The Honda Motor Company was incorporated in 1949, and once they were a proper company, they made their first complete motorcycle. They made both the frame and engine of what was named the Model D.
It wasn't until 1963 that Honda branched out into making cars. In this year, their first light truck and sports car were released. Four years later they released the minicar, and made subsequent innovations on it until the release of the Civic in 1972.
Through the 80s, Honda branched out beyond Asia with production beginning in the U.S in 1982. This was a huge decade for Honda, as they reached the 15 million mark.
Through the 90s their production continued going up and innovation continued into the 2000s. In the past 10 years, Honda has put a lot of technology and smart engineering into their cars.
Their Hatchbacks
Honda currently offer six models of hatchback, and are set to release an exciting new model in 2016. Their current hatchbacks, the Jazz and the Civic Hatch (each with three derivatives), are popular cars among buyers for a number of reasons.
Both models incorporate a wide range of safety features, functional technology, and luxury additions that make your drive more enjoyable.
If safety is your favourite thing, Honda offer excellent features such as multi-angle reversing cameras, front and rear parking sensors, and an Agile Handling Assist System – so you never lose control of your car.
If it is luxury and tech that you want, say hello to all of the features that Honda have to offer. Colour touch screen, heated seats, leather wrapped steering wheel, USB and Bluetooth connectivity, magic folding seats, keyless entry and push button start, built-in navigation, rain sensing wipers, automatic headlights, and leather appointed seats can all be included in your Honda hatchback.
Honda's hatchbacks are a generous size and are able to comfortably seat five, while also being small enough for easy city driving. They are both economical, using between 5.8L and 6.6L per 100 kilometers (depending on the model), with a handy feature that tells you how economically you are driving.
How did they score?
Honda performed exceptionally in our hatchback ratings, achieving four stars for overall satisfaction, performance, reliability, and point of sale service. They are also one of the best in terms of value for money, achieving a five star rating – but that is no surprise, considering the amount of features you can get in your Honda hatch (see above).
Other hatchbacks we rated
Canstar Blue commissions Colmar Brunton to regularly survey Australian consumers across a range of categories to measure and track customer satisfaction. The outcomes reported are the results from customers within the survey group who had recently bought a hatchback.
The other brands in this year's survey are:
- Ford
- Mazda
- Holden
- Hyundai
- Toyota
- Volkswagen

Shock And Paw
Oct. 5, 2009
By Kevin Scheitrum
Last Saturday, half a thousand University of Vermont undergrads spent their Saturday storming a field to celebrate their Catamounts' win over the team picked to finish dead last in its conference.
For 90 minutes, Vermont had out-muscled and generally out-worked the University of Maryland-Baltimore County, picking up a 3-1 win over a club that the America East coaches had estimated to take eighth – out of eight teams – in the conference preseason poll. And, more pertinently, a UMBC team that hadn't lost as of Saturday, playing to a 9-0-0 clip and ascending to No. 18 in the NSCAA poll.
"We went from being ranked last in the conference to playing in Vermont and it being like the national championship," said UMBC coach Pete Caringi. "Our players took it as a wake-up call – we went from being the hunter to the hunted."
The first month or so of every NCAA season always brings with it a certain bit of vandalism, as teams set fire to preseason polls. But few clubs – maybe only Monmouth, now standing at its highest-ever ranking – have managed to burn as brightly as the gang of teenagers playing soccer in Baltimore County.
They are, after all, largely teenagers. Seven seniors graduated from last year's squad, replaced by a swarm of freshmen and only one rising senior, defender Andrew Gillis – and he'd missed most of last season with a foot injury. When UMBC played up in Burlington on Saturday, there were six freshmen on the field.
But they're teenagers that can play. Very well. The Retrievers currently boast the nation's third-best scoring offense (2.80 goals per game) and two of the country's top three players in points per game (Andrew Bulls, first at 3.10 a contest, and Levi Houapeu, third at 2.40). In addition to plowing through teams at a clip of almost three goals a game – the Retriever have been held to less than three goals in only four of 10 games this year – they've also posted shutouts in five games this year.
With, of course, a freshman, Phil Saunders, in goal.
"You're talking about a team that, five weeks ago, they were introducing themselves to each other," Caringi said. "And five weeks later they're looking in the paper and seeing they're nationally ranked."
It took until last week for UMBC to crack the NSCAA poll, after a month of domination outside of it. And these weren't walk-in-walk-off wins. The Retrievers opened with a 3-1 win over Virginia Tech, a team that last week knocked off then-No. 16 N.C. State and before took down Clemson, a team that beat Virginia a week prior.
Then came 11 goals in two games, a 5-1 win over Delaware and 6-0 win over St. Joseph's in the Anders Soccer Classic. Five games (and five wins) later, UMBC took down cross-town rival Loyola, 1-0 on Sept. 22, for the Retrievers' first-ever win over the Greyhounds at home.
That win pushed the season-opening win streak to eight games, the best start the program's ever had since moving to Div. I. Another win, a 3-0 bashing of Drexel, on Sept. 26 pushed the mark to 9-0-0.
Last year, UMBC started at 5-2-2. The Retrievers won only once after that, dropping seven of eight and failing to even make the America East Tournament five years after claiming the regular season crown in the team's first year in the conference.
"Last year there were a lot of seniors, and we had a lot of high expectations, and quite frankly I think the team took a lot of things for granted," Caringi said. "We were always thinking that the next game will be better. It was one of those where everything that could have happened, happened. People got injured, and then we had New Hampshire down 1-0 with five minutes left, and if we win, we're in the playoffs, and we wind up losing."
But an offseason of renewed focus and drive, coupled with a roster composed of 64 percent underclassmen (eight freshmen and six sophomores on a team of 22) has meant nothing gets taken for granted. Nothing, because, well, most of the team has no idea what to expect.
Until Saturday, eight players had never experienced a loss while playing college soccer (UMBC won both of its preseason games, too). And until Saturday, eight players had never endured the grinding ordeal of a conference road trip.
As the Southernmost of any America East school – the majority of the conference is scattered around New England and New York – a trip to Vermont means an early flight to New Hampshire, then a series of vans for a few hours to Burlington. Now add the physicality of play in a league that jumped to sixth in the NCAA conference rankings last year – the America East's highest-ever mark – and the task of staying unbeaten gets even harder.
But, Caringi said, the game offered a wave of perspective for the young team. About what it means to win in-conference. Just as importantly, as they watched Vermont fans pour onto the field, about what it means to be a marked team after starting the season as an afterthought.
"We just had a lot of fun [early]," Caringi said. "It's been a great year, and I think the last week or so, the senior guys were getting a lot tighter, seeing the papers, seeing the write-ups, obviously it went from a carefree 4-0, 5-0 team to 9-0 team, and people on campus started talking about going undefeated, talking crazy stuff, and it got to some people's heads, which is human nature."
But, Caringi said, the excitement, ingested the right way, can be a great thing.
"We had four newspaper articles on the soccer team last week, and the response from the students, they caught on to the excitement of the team," he said. "I've been here 19 years, born and raised, and I've never seen anything like this."

Why no love for Team Objective? Great mode but needs fixes! [Updated 28 August][ Edited ]
Updated 28th August
Patch 1.13, the so called biggest patch ever, has gone by. In it, included 2 fixes for Team Objective. One fixed the multi marked man rage quitting, and the other put Deathmatch to round 5. I have no idea why ND did not get rid of Deathmatch in one of only 2 Objective modes in the game, but it is stupid!
After the forum migrated back to Lithium, this thread has had little support. Even now it only has a measly 28 something kudos, when I know back on the old forums, it topped 60 likes which shows people want to see these fixes happen. I'm not gonna put the kudos in the title or something like that, but really if Team Objective fans want to see anything here happening, they need to start supporting again!
I have lost little hope we will see new medals, individual gametypes or new modes. But perhaps there is still hope for a new points system and completely random modes? We will see.
- The Issues and Problems
- Playlists - Individual Gametypes
- New medals
- New gametypes suggestions
- How I think points should work
- Awesome signatures by Luxis!
The Issues and Problems
Big Issues - Fix these first!
- Team Objective is not random. Come on! KOTR or CR always first, Deathmatch always third. Why?? Why is the first hill always the same if it's the first round?
Marked Man leaves = no new marked man. This is a serious glitch and is possibly one of the first that needs to be addressed.
- Deathmatch should just go. It ruins the objective feel.
Smaller Issues - Still need fixing but not a priority!
- For some reason, even if you survive the whole marked man round you don't get hard target. I mean really?
- You only get 1 point for a kill in DM and 1 point for a marked man kill. Should be changed, for example 10 points per Deathmatch kill and 25 points per marked man kill.
- Turf War points are messed up. Trust me, they are.
- No points on chain reaction - why???
- The hill should change after a team gets a certain number of points, rather than a timer. This will give a team a chance if the opposite team is dominating.
Additions - not problems but will improve Objectives (in my opinion)
- There should be an objectives points leaderboard as well as a plunder captures leaderboard.
- There should be, at the very least, indivual gametypes for KOTH, Turf War etc in custom games, or public if possible. They don't have to be their own playlist, and they don't have to replace the mixed one either. Why not both? (read below for more deltail)
- New medals (I have had some ideas below)
Playlists - Individual Gametypes
There would be two playlists - Random Objectives and Team Objective (though I thiink ND can come up with better name)
Random Objective
Random Objective would contain King of the Hill, Turf War, Multi-Marked man, Treasure Hunter, Chain Reaction and maybe even a new gametype.
King of the Hill - 1000 points target, hill resets every 1m30s
Turf War - 1500 points target, hills reset every 3mins
Chain Reaction - Same as usual. Could possibly have a best of 3 system to keep it going longer.
Treasure Hunter - 650 points target
Multi-marked Man - 15 kill target
Team Objective
Team Objective would be the same as it is now, to keep everyone happy.
This would not split the player pools too much, right?
New Medals
I have also had some ideas for medals, because there are TWO TO exclusive medals. TWO. Not sure on names yet though.
Vice-like - Hold onto the idol in Treasure Hunter for over a minute without dropping it - $1000
The King - Stay in the hill for over a minute without dying or leaving the hill - $500 (can get multiple)
Team Player - Get over 150 points in a single match - $1000
Clean Sweap - Capture all five chain reaction zones without dying - $1500
Perfect Team - Hold all three Turf War zones for over 30 seconds - $1500
Doing all the Work - Beat all your other teammates by at least 30 points - $750
Persistent - Kill the treasure carrier three times - $250
Greedy - Hold onto the idol in Treasure Hunter the whole time - $750 (suggested by TheExtracter)
That's all I can think of right now, but I'm open to suggestions.
New Gametypes Suggestions
Suggest modes!
Quick-Score - A mini plunder with 2 scores. Lasts 4 minutes.
Treasure Hunt - An idol spawns completely randomly on the map (to an extent - not in the air or inside a wall) with no marker or any symbol telling players where it is. Whoever gets to it first gets the point. First to 10 points.
Infected - Two people turn into skeletons (like cursed). Points for protecting your infected and killing the other. (Suggested by vfr_isnt_fun)
Traitor - One player on each team is moved to the other side. Points are awarded for killing the traitor on your side. (Suggested by vfr_isnt_fun)
Gold Rush - Two idols, one belonging to each team. Each has a timer, and the fastest an idol is scored the more points you earn. (Suggested by Alluboy_ Check post 200 of this thread for a more detailed explanation of the mode.)
Unchained Reaction - The five hills that will normally show up for Chain Reaction will be selected in a random order and at the start one will be randomly lit. Whichever team has control after 45 seconds will recieve a point. After a point is given, the next random hill will light up. This continues for all 5 hills. Control of a hill is definsed by whoever has the most players in the hill. Best out of 5. (Suggested by xSKIN_N_BONESx - Check post 249 of this thread for a more detailed explaination of the mode.)
Update: 8th May
How I think points should work:
At the moment points don't make a lot of sense... Some modes give a lot of points and some don't. The first thing to do is make sure points mean something. At the moment, there is no real incentive to get points. Firstly, some new medals (see above) that involve point totals. Secondly, make them give a cash value. Let's say, every 5 points = $100. So for 100 points, you would get $2,000. I'm not even sure if that is enough but I don't want to go too high due to the next problem... boosters.
Chain Reaction
We all know about the Chain Reaction farming in Uncharted 2, and I think that's why you don't get any points at all in Chain Reaction. Well, instead of completely removing them they should edit them. Here's are 2 possibilities:
- You gain 10 points for capturing a hill, but lose those points if it is recaptured. So, the max points is 50.
- The faster you capture the hill since the start of the match, the more points you get. For example, in the first 10 seconds = 25. First 30 seconds = 15. Etc, etc. Boosters would be at a disadvatange as they wouldn't be able to get any serious points if they lingered, as after the first minute captures are worth nothing.
Marked Man
This is another mode that gives low points. A marked man kill should give you 30 points, like it was in the beta. For staying alive as marked man you should get one point per second.
If ND don't get rid of it, then 30 points for a kill, 15 points for an assist.
Treasure Hunter
I believe that those in close proximity to the treasure carrier should get 1 point every 2 seconds. This way they get rewarded for risking their lives by protecting their treasure carrier.
Turf War
Points are seriously glitchy in this mode. If you are in a hill, then you get 1 point per second, no matter how many are in it. Simple.
King of the Hill
Points are perfect here.
Awesome Signatures by Luxis
Luxis has done some awesome signatures for those who want these TO changes to happen! Just copy and paste the links below into your signature and don't forget to thank him! (I have no idea how he got Wetsuit Elena swimming lol)
Edit: 1 May: Wow, over 40 likes! Last time I looked it was 20 something, I guess these sigs are working to raise awareness of the thread. Let's hope it is enough to convince ND to at least implement some of the stuff listed here.
Edit: 9 May: Woot! We made it over 50 likes! I never expected the thread to be as popular as the customisation or classic mode thread (and it isn't) but I wasn't expecting that kind of response either! Team Objective players unite!

Re: Why no love for Team Objective?
Even though I like Team OBJ, I don't play it much (for whatever reason). But I agree that these fixes should be implemented. It's unfair that other modes get the shaft. But I don't think the Turf War points are messed up
Paying for Uncharted 2 content? Heck no.
Re: Why no love for Team Objective?
Re: Why no love for Team Objective?
This is my favorite game mode so I really would like to see some fixes happen. Also, I wish they would take Deathmatch out of TO completely. It just doesn't belong.

Ah yes, forgot about that. Definitely agree.
Re: Why no love for Team Objective?
Shame that this mode is a bit messed up because I think it's the best in the game, it is so dynamic, the game changes every few minutes, however, it is frustrating that the same order of objectives is applied and that they are always identical. For example, think of a King of the Hill match right in the middle of Molten Ruins instead of the top dome or the same boring right side of the map. Treasure Hunter should be a quick Plunder match to get 2 captures, would be much more entertaining than simply holding the damn idol... Think of a double Marked man objective, 4 VIPs running around the map, there are really a lot of options for this mode...
I think it's unfair that TO kills are not counted in the leaderboard, the title of the Leaderboard says "Global Kills - Competitive Modes", last time I checked, TO was a competitive mode...

No thank you, people would farm kills and not play the objective, it's already pretty bad with the treasure kill farmers, but you want to give them another reason to farm?
Re: Why no love for Team Objective?
I play Team Objective more than anything else and love it (usually). Nobody likes the fact that deathmatch is always third, let alone in there at all. Honestly, I feel that Chain Reaction should always be first, then everything else randomized. I don't think seperate playlists is the way to go. I don't want the playlist divided even further. I also don't feel a leaderboard is needed because honestly, who cares? People will just start sitting inside a turf during Turf War to boost their points, which might cost their team the game. Multi Marked Man was kind of a half-assed after thought that is totally broken. The already known Marked Man leaving has caused my team to lose the game on several ocassions against other parties (They often do it intentionally). And there needs to be some sort of science for how the Marked Man is assigned. Sometimes one person will be assigned all 5 times. I think it should go down the line on the scorecard. And lastly, I think they need to at least have seperate objective modes in customs, or even so that you can pre set what objectives show up and in what order.

Well perhaps there could be two playlists -Team Objective (what we have now) and Objectives which features KOTH, Treasure Hunter etc randomised to come up in the voting. I don't know I just really want a King of the Hill 1000 points target game. I love KOTH, so chaotic .

Arrakus was a male Human doctor and the former director of an Imperial weapons development complex.
When the Rebels destroyed the complex, they caused one of Arakkus' own radiation experiments to backfire on him, confining him to a protective suit which only slowed his eventual demise. He spent his numbered days circling a collapsed dwarf star in a modified Imperial Transport, devoting his final experiment to dooming others—particularly Rebels. He was killed when Han Solo detonated a negatron charge to free the Millennium Falcon from the grip of said star.

Lost and VulnerableMature
The sudden sound of violence in the streets startled her, her eyes, that had been glued to her book for the past hour looked outside. She gasped, sprinting over to the window and watching as the chaos erupted. It was horrifying, she had never in all her life seen people revolt like this. The guns, the armor, the violence... while she was not ignorant of them she always looked at those as things that happened to other people, other places, other countries. She shouted loudly drawing the entire libraries attention though no one on the outside could hear her. She watched as a shotgun went off and a man doubled over, collapsing to the street. She had no idea that it had been a bean bag, she believed that her own countries police force had engaged lethal protocals on their civilians.
She hurried over to the desk apologizing quickly to her tutor and shouting to everyone in the library that they needed to get out, civil unrest was in the streets and she was terrified that it would spill over into buisnesses, schools, homes. Throwing her books into her pack, she ran down the hallway, grabbing the handrail to spin the corner. She was acting on instinct, she wasnt thinking she had to get home. Warn her mother and father! Get her siblings to somewhere safe, maybe they could move back to japan and live in their gran-ma'ma's house.
Shouting and screaming echoed through the air along with a booming snap of thunder while she donned her face mask to protect her breathing. She sprinted down the sidewalk, turning on a side street to avoid the violence until an officer stepped out of nowhere, shouting in Cantoneese. she stood there stock still, not understanding a word until he mentioned many districts, including the one her family lived in and made a chopping signal to say no... or she couldn't go. Aiko shook my head.
"I'm going!" she snarled deifantly, the officer drew his weapon, yelling more. Her heart stopped as her eyes grew large. She could see the bullet grinning at her from inside the chamber, holding her hands up she backed away which seemed to slightly calm the man. "I have to get home," she whispered, pain in her chest as she ran out of the side street, attempting to go around when a mob of people and a line appeared, screening people getting through. She breathed easier, thinking it was her district, she wasn't paying attention adrenaline was rushing within her body. The man at the gate asked for her I.D and to remove her mask to prove who she was. After a few minutes of scrutinization he let her through with a gruff nod. Taking the Id she pocketed it and replaced the mask over her face sprinting into the district. After 10 minutes she began to look around... realizing she was not near her home.. not even close.. this was the Kanto district.
Her hands shook as she dug through her school bag pulling out her phone and dialing her home number. It rang once, twice, three times, and then.. finally.. her father answered.
"Hello?" he asked softly confused that his daughter would be calling when she was supposed to be staying after school.
"Father! Father!" She was breathless as she hollared into the phone. "All of shanghai has gone mad! People are revolting in the streets, the police are taking everyone into custody, they're....oh father... I'm in the Kanto district I was so scared...they held a gun at me, I could only think to run and I saw a checkpoint and thought of home...Father..." she started to tear up as her father began to speak. Suddenly on the other end of the line Aiko could hear her mother and father shouting... a ruckas echoed and the line went dead. Her heart sank painfully, she didnt know what had happened but she could only assume...staggering over to the wall of a buisness she stood there, gripping her phone, white knuckled. Two men, haggard but young, probably around their early twenties snickered as they walked up to her, pinning her to the wall. One was tall and smelled, the other was short, his features pug like.
"Well well," the short one laughed in a very slang style of Madarin. "wha'da we have here... looks like a little University girl got lost on her way home..." The other man grinned crookedly and stepped close to Aiko, he smelled of some strange type of sake and fish.
"Your pretty," the tall one murmured as the one of the men held her shoulder, the other taking her back pack off her shoulder, rifling through it.
Aiko screamed loud and long, she was far from home, terrified and alone, not that she expected anyone to help her here. Tears ran down her face...what would mother and father think....
