In a news conference in Kabul, Hamid Karzai revealed he would either bring the transition forward or bring the elections forward. Realistically, bringing forward the NATO withdrawal is not a decision Karzai can make. Holding elections next year, however, would allow the government to make use of the protection and logistics that would be still available from NATO forces.

Kleberson keen on Celtic switch
By Mark Buckingham
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Kleberson has also attracted the attention of Roma and Bayer Leverkusen after impressing in the Far East and he is set for a £5 million move to Europe in the New Year.
Celtic have registered their willingness to lure the Atletico Paranaense man to Parkhead and Kleberson revealed he would relish the challenge of playing in the SPL.
"I don't want to say much because it's in the hands of my agent," said Kleberson. "But I am very interested in finding out more about Scotland.
"If I do go to Celtic I will give everything I have. I am learning about the rivalry with Rangers and it sounds the type of thing I'd enjoy.
"Gilberto Silva, who I speak to regularly, knew nothing about England before going there but tells me he is happy at Arsenal. He spoke well of Scotland and Scottish football. Although he doesn't have much experience of it, he has heard a lot from the former Rangers player Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
"I am a little confused. I don't know if I should be studying English, Italian, German or English with a Scottish accent. Either way, I know Rome is different from Glasgow and Leeds is different from Leverkusen.
"I can only say I am deeply honoured that Celtic are interested in me because they are a team with a great history and I hope an even greater future."
Kleberson's agent Marcel Figer admitted The Bhoys are keen to sign the midfield anchor-man but confirmed Leeds were leading the chase, despite speculation the Elland Road board are sceptical about hiring the Samba ace.
Figer said: "They (Leeds) are slightly ahead in the race because we have talked numbers with them but Celtic's interest is concrete.
"Kleberson is a World Cup winner and my priority is to find him the right club. He needs a team with plenty of ambition and organisation and Celtic meet those requirements."

Main attractions
Most interesting landmarks of Senegal are:
- Numerous megalithic monuments and burial mounds. Remarkable is the group of 52 stone circles in Sine Ngayene.
- European colonial heritage. Slave trade which was organized by Europeans left a deep scar which obstructs the development of Western Africa for centuries. Nevertheless this (and trade with other African resources) brought much profit and Europeans built in Senegal several cities with interesting historical architecture. Most interesting is Gorée Island - minor island covered with historical buildings.
Natural landmarks
- Fadial baobab - Thies. Giant, sacred tree. Girth of tree is 26.2 m.
- Iwol baobab - Tambacounda. Sacred tree which is located in traditional village of Bedick people. Giant tree with a girth of 23.6 m. In this village is found also Iwol kapok tree (Ceiba pentandra) with a girth of 15.4 m.
Other natural landmarks
- Dindéfello Falls (Dindefflo, Dindefelo) - Kédougou. Approximately 100 m tall waterfall. Stream is not powerful but the fall is vertical, surrounded with lush tropical forest.
- Retba Lake - Dakar. Lake where the water often is colored in pink. Color is created by algae Dunaliella salina. Lake water has very high salt content.
- Taiba Ndiaye Quarry - Thies. Rich find of the remnants of Eocene animals including remnants of unusual animal - the first African Prorastomid: a kind of manatee.
- Tomboronkoto Caves - Kédougou. Group of natural caves where chimpanzes live during the dry season. This is the first proved case of chimpanzes living in caves.
Man made landmarks
Megaliths and burial mounds
- Cekeen Tumulus - Diourbel. The largest burial mound in Senegal. Numerous local chiefs of Serer have been buried here.
- Sare Dioulde - Tambacounda. Group of megaliths and some 20 burial mounds, made in the late 16th - early 17th century.
- Sine Ngayene stone circles - Kaolack. Group of 52 stone circles (including one double circle) with 1 102 standing stones, erected mostly in between 640 - 860 AD. Before the erection of stones the site served as necropolis, nearby was located settlement.
- Tiekene Boussoura - Kaffrine. Group of 19 mounds, largest has a diameter of 82 m and height of 8 m. In the site is located a megalithic circle. Made around the 8th - 9th century AD.
- Wanar stone circles - Kaffrine. Group of 21 stone circles and one double stone circle. In the site are found many lyre-formed stones as well. This site at first served as a necropolis, stones were added later, in the 12th - 13th centuries.
Historical settlements, cities
- Enampore - Ziguinchor. Traditional village with the characteristic impluvium houses - circular mud buildings which consist of covered walkway in a circle, with rooms located around this walkway. Dwellings in such house remain cool in hot weather.
- Fadiouth - Thiès. An island which is densely covered with historical buildings. Island is connected to the mainland with a bridge, next to the island is another island with cemetery and islan with granaries.
- Gorée Island - Dakar. One of the oldest European settlements in Africa, established in 1444. Small island which is covered with historical buildings. Although it is known as slave trade centre, it had relatively minor importance in this respect.
- Saint-Louis historical centre - Saint-Louis. Former capital of the French colony of Senegal in 1673 - 1902. Old city covers small, narrow island. Valuable, very well preserved example of Creole Atlantic colonial cities which is more common in Americas.
Other man made landmarks
- Baron Roger palace and park (Folie de Baron Roger) - Saint-Louis. Ruins of fine palace in Neo-Renaissance style, built in 1822 - 1827. Palace is surrounded by beautiful park where European plants are planted.
- Faidherbe Bridge - Saint-Louis. Bridge over Senegal River, built in 1897. Length of this steel bridge is 507 m.
- House of Slaves in Gorée - Dakar. Historical house, built around 1776 and owned by a slave trader. Now a museum of the Atlantic slave trade.
- Point of Sangomar - Fatick. Some 10 km long sand island at the mouth of Saloum Delta. Island is moving to the south. Locals consider that on this island the souls of ancestors can be met, it is sacred place.

Why ask if you you're just going to say it's wrong? Sorry but I think you're average and I don't find you attractive. Did you ask just to have people lie and pump up your ego? It's fair because it's my opinion.
It's not ego. I wouldn't have asked if it was ego. But I couldn't get why I am not attractive to you, it is normal to ask. Is it because of the sunglasses only, or is there another reason that I don't know?

Where are D.C.'s condos?
D.C. is an apartment rich jurisdiction, but it's condo poor.
According to statistics provided to the Office of the Chief Financial Officer from Delta Associates, there were 10,011 apartment units under construction and/or marketing in D.C. as of the second quarter, and another 6,398 apartments likely to deliver over the next 36 months. That's 16,409 apartments in three years, a massive influx that may overwhelm, at least temporarily, the demand, driving rents down and concessions up.
On the ownership side, there were only 661 condominiums under construction and/or marketing as of the second quarter and 1,170 expected to deliver over the next 36 months — a mere 1,831 units.
Why the disparity? D.C.'s population is soaring and now tops 630,000. You would think there would be demand for all housing types, from single family to townhouses to apartments to condos.
For one, said Grant Montgomery, director of Delta's apartment practice, lenders are still smarting from the housing crisis. It's far more difficult today to get a loan to build a condo complex — the pre-sale requirements are intense — and it's very difficult in D.C. to convert an apartment building to condo once the first renter has moved in.
"In the District," Montgomery said, "you really need to make that call before you ever get that renter in the apartment."
He added, "I still think there is some real hesitation on the lender side from everything that went bad last time."
That's not to say there's no market for condominiums. Condo sales in D.C. were up in July compared to July 2012, and the average sales price has jumped nearly $15,000 per unit, or 3.3 percent.
The supply/demand for condos in the District is not currently balanced, but will be in the next 36 months, said William Rich, director of Delta's condominium practice.
Of the apartment units under construction now in the city, Rich said, Delta projects maybe 800, or fewer than 10 percent, may be converted to condo pre-sale.
But there's "real demand" for apartments, Montgomery said, in D.C. and regionwide, as the Washington area turns more urban. There are some 30,000 units under construction across the area, and another 5,000 planned. The condo number is comparatively miniscule. For now, renters are in control.

Wine sommeliers and aficionados share one strong belief when it comes to wine glasses: the best wine glasses in the world are made of crystal. Most have a collection of crystal glasses that they use specifically based on the grape and age of the wine. Whether you are well schooled in wine glass etiquette, or just beginning, having a collection of lead crystal, or unleaded crystal glasses will provide you with the best experience possible in enjoying fine wines.
Standards Used to Categorize Crystal
The British Standard is used by manufacturers worldwide to categorize crystal. There are no standards set by any authoritative agency in the United States. The British Standard (BS 3828:1973) sets three categories: fine crystal, lead crystal and full lead crystal.
For a glass to qualify as fine crystal, it must contain 6 to 10 percent lead oxide. The quality of craftsmanship is also taken into account. The British standard for lead crystal is that the glass contains 10 to 24 percent lead oxide. Finally, full lead crystal must contain at least 24 percent lead oxide.
Full and Lead Crystal
Full and lead crystal wine glasses remain the "glasses of choice" by wine sommeliers and connoisseurs. They view the properties of lead crystal as unmatched by any other type of crystal or glass in providing the optimal experience of taste and smell when enjoying fine wines. Lead crystal wine glasses are heavier in weight than fine crystal because the glasses have the highest concentration of lead. A clear crystal glass, void of ornamentation, enables the wine drinker to appreciate the wine's color and complexities, from the bottom of the bowl of the glass to the surface of the wine. Crystal glasses maintain the temperature of the wine, whether the wine is served at close to room temperature or chilled, which is the most favorable condition when drinking fine and expensive wines, to keep the character of the wine from being adulterated.
The bottom-line difference between crystal and glass is the lead content. The surface of crystal is also rougher in texture than glass. The uneven surface gives crystal the ability to release esters. The esters optimize the aroma of wines poured into a crystal glass and trigger human olfactory capabilities to heighten the sense of smell. Human taste buds are actually less sensitive than the capability to sense smell. Consequently, the ability of crystal to amplify the wine's aroma or "bouquet" makes crystal glasses the best choice for those who want to experience and appreciate all the subtle and complex nuances of fine, aged wines.
Health Concerns
Scientific studies have shown that lead, which is toxic, can dissolve into acidic beverages. It has been shown that wine will dissolve more lead than distilled spirits such as scotch or vodka. Additionally, the longer wine is stored in a crystal decanter, the more lead it will absorb.
Unleaded Crystal
Given consumer health concerns about lead, many manufacturers are expanding their lines to include unleaded crystal wine glasses. The glasses display similar desirable properties as leaded crystal, in terms of maintaining the temperature of the wine and providing the experiential benefits of heightened smell and visibility. Using composition alternatives such as barium carbonate and strontium, zinc and titanium oxides makes the glasses comparable to leaded crystal in terms of heightening the aroma and maintaining the wine's temperature in the glass. Unleaded crystal alternatives are offered by leading global manufacturers of crystal wine glasses including Ravenscroft, Schott, Stolzle and Spiegelau - a subsidiary of the world-famed Reidel company of Austria.

For my checkbook cover I went with John deere. I love the country, love cowboy boots, and love John Deere. My purse is John Deere and I decided that I would love to have a checkbook that went with my purse. I am so happy I did the colors match perfectly. Hamptons Treasure was even able to add the John deere logo to my checkbook. The colors are amazing. They checkbook is amazing.
This checkbook cover is made out of duct tape. Thats right I said Duct Tape, and its awesome. There is slots for the the checkbook and there is a slot for the register. For the checkbook there is a divider to keep from leaving impression on the other checks. I also love that I dont have to keep my debit card seperate from my checkbook. There is a slot at the top for your debit card. It is a secure fit so no worrying about the card falling out. My checkbook cover is a little big for my checkbook. It slides a little bit so i used a little tape to the back of the checkbook and it works perfect. I use the other side for my cash and that works out pretty well too.
If you are looking for something custom and unique go to Hamptons Treasure she can make wallets mens and womens checkbook covers earrings key chains, and many other items. If there is something you want just ask. I was the first to ask for John Deere so I am sure if you don't see what you want you she can make it.

|Part of the Avatar: War of Nations continuity.
Lee is part of the Air Nomads, a friend of Kaoru and is a character in Avatar:War of Nations.
Lee is a member of the foreign race of Air Nomads that grew up on what was once Air Temple Island in a ruined Republic City where he was trained in Airbending alongside the other Air Nomad children. Lee and his younger sister Maika grew acquainted with each other while on the island. Having been trained by the monks, Lee became a talented Airbender but he wasn't yet a master. Lee was among the older Airbenders to be sent to the Sinae training academy where he made new friends in the form of Kaoru, Jared, Haysumi, and Kaoru's younger sister Yuki.
Lee is one of the more mature teenagers of the group along with Haysumi. He is a very likable person being instantly liked by anyone once he gets to know them. He can at times though act childish like all teens.
Lee is a gifted Airbender who has almost completed all 36 tiers of Airbending. Similar to the new race of Airbenders, Lee is prone to more forceful airbending attacks then the evasive and defensive maneuvers of the older Airbenders. Lee has been called a genius airbender due to him passing the first 31 tiers of airbending at a relatively young age and having created not one but several new airbending moves albeit two of them are slightly frowned upon due to their nature.
Lee is also proficient in using his glider-staff and a spear in conjunction with his Airbending. He mainly uses his glider-staff for defensive purposes while he uses his spear for both defensive and offensive purposes, but making his attacks faster and sharper.

Mohammed Al-Qeeq, the 33-year-old Palestinian journalist who waged a 94-day hunger strike while in Israeli custody was finally released last week. His message to his fellow prisoners is: stand up to Israel's unjust detention policies.
In an interview with Anadolu Agency he referred to his imprisonment as, "a bitter experience, but it taught me to stand up for my rights and my freedom in the face of the [Israeli] occupation."
He added, "Our hunger-strikes have broken Israel's arrogance and shown that a belief in the justice of our cause will ultimately lead to victory."
Al-Qeeq said that Palestinian prisoners would continue to resist until they received their legitimate rights and that "the Israeli occupation tried – in every way – to break my hunger-strike, but it failed to do so."

He went on to commend the role of the Palestinian people in supporting him during his months-long hunger-strike.
"Popular solidarity played a significant role in making the Israeli authorities sign the deal [for my release]," he said.
Al Qeeq asserted that "Israel has raided TV channels and arrested dozens of reporters — but it will never silence Palestinian journalists," Al-Qeeq said.

West Ham should play behind closed doors if their fans' behaviour against Chelsea is repeated, insists a London and Westminster MP.
Mark Field says West Ham should be made to produce a detailed security plan to the FA within the next two weeks following the weekend's display of violence.
The FA have launched an investigation into the behaviour of West Ham and Chelsea fans during the Hammers' 1-0 victory against their London rivals in the EFL Cup, Sky Sports reports.
Local MP, Field says future safety at football matches is of paramount priority and West Ham's club officials should plan for better security at the London Stadium in the future.
"Within the next 14 days, the board of West Ham United FC should present a detailed plan to the FA and the Premier League outlining what they are going to do about security," Field told the London Evening Standard.
"None of these problems were unforeseeable, given the nature of the stadium and difficulties with policing large footballing crowds.
"There have been some clear failings and they now need to move with urgency to deliver a plan about segregation and broader public order issues.
"If there is a repeat of the violence, the next two or three home games for West Ham should be played behind closed doors," he added.
Violence broke out between fans on Wednesday evening and police were forced to make seven arrests after stewards had to fight off fans behind the West Ham goal.
Fans caused trouble towards the end of the game, as coins, match programmes and other objects were thrown in areas where children were sat (an eight year old girl was caught up in the violent scenes.)
In other West Ham news, Winston Reid gives praise for his Hammers' teammates following their victory against Chelsea.

Kraft MiO set out to make a meaningful impact on its target audience – Millennial males – as the title sponsor of Toronto music festival, North by Northeast (NXNE). Initially, Edelman was asked to simply amplify MiO's presence at an existing venue. We saw a greater opportunity to turn the sponsorship into something newsworthy and original that everyone would talk about. We did just that by creating a venue unlike any other – a streetcar, turned music hub, featuring artists handpicked for their uniqueness.
Transforming a public transit vehicle into a concert venue entailed navigating numerous logistics, including plotting routes – and rerouting them on the fly – in busy traffic, sorting out extensive permits and, of course, installing a topnotch sound system on a cramped moving vehicle.
Additionally, Edelman undertook a major creative effort. Born in-house, the MiO Squirtcar was a holistic effort. We conceptualized look and feel, developed a visual language and engaged in-house art directors and independent illustrators to bring it all to life. Also, the team brought in the video production team and a pair of daredevil freelancers who rode bikes, hung from bridges and drove chase cars to capture the event.
Moreover, Edelman worked closely with NXNE to handpick the acts that would best capture the brand's ethos – "make it original." To do this, we tapped an Edelman writer, who also happened to be a professional music journalist, to scout the perfect musicians to perform in the MiO Squirtcar.
Ultimately, the MiO Squirtcar ran for four wildly successful nights of shows, with onlookers staring agape as it passed by, music fans running alongside it to get on and riders dancing and partying throughout the night.
The results of this truly cross-team effort – featuring members from tech, digital, creative and earned media – exceeded client expectations. Over the span of four nights, 1,000 attendees viewed the shows, and of that number, 40 reporters were in attendance. The MiO Squirtcar, in conjunction with other festival activations, secured 31.6 million social media impressions, 30 million paid impressions and 403 earned media impressions, greatly increasing brand relevancy with Millennial males, dominating social media and making a gigantic impact with media.
The MiO Squirtcar was featured in the following publications: The National Post, Toronto Star, Yahoo, Now Magazine and The Globe and Mail, as well as many others nationally and internationally.

So i'm 24 and over the years i learned that the best way for someone to learn is to figure things out for themselves. You can tell them all day but most people won't listen.
My girlfriend said she doesn't see anything wrong with going to a club when i can't come and dancing with other guys since i'm not there. She doesn't see anything wrong with guys touching her if it's just dancing.
I told her that she should know what people should or shouldn't be able to do but it's a bit disrespectful. I will dump her if she does any of that but i don't think she realises that girls may think a club is an innocent place but a lot of guys go there to fuck and touch girls
Not caring the best approach to Teaching Girlfriend about Relationships? and dump them if they do wrong?

What Girls Said 2
Going to the club is one thing, but guys grinding on you and touching you is inappropriate, I agree.00|00|0
She's stupid and I agree with you.00|00|0
she responded with "it's just dancing". "i don't know about you but I really love dancing"
What Guys Said 1
DUDE!! My ex did the same, only once but once was enough to end the relationship! It was the best decision ever. If she wants to love her life like a single then she should not get into relationships. I suggest you do the same like i did. Don't let them fool with you man. This is basic knowledge and such girls even lack that.00|00|0
She's genuinely very naive and she's very friendly but it's irritating because she's friendly to the extent that she doesn't like making people feel uncomfortable or stopping them from doing things
I see, it feels lile she doesn't know the limits because she doesn't want to disappoint anyone. Keep an eye on her man or you could be cheated on, especially if she goes out to clubs and such without you. I'd be worried

Create an Alternative User Account
Now that's simple and you can open up an account anytime. Most of the user accounts that are used by the marketing executives might not seem appealing. This is true especially when it comes to targeting female audiences who are not much enthusiastic about approving the friend request of everyone.
An alternative user account can be crafted effectively in accordance with a particular niche. You can create the right brand personality that you know your target audiences are likely to engage with the most. Now let's move on the next and the most important point. After you have set an account on Instagram and have added the bio description and personal information, add as many as 50 pictures. The goal is to make your alternative profile account look as natural and genuine as possible.

- For the Foodie Profile
From the business point of view, foodie profiles are generally adapted by marketers belonging to the food industry. The goal, in this case, is to promote everything good about a particular brand and its products. If you have set up a foodie profile, try to post pictures from behind-the-scenes or show more of creativity. Do not forget to insta-post a hearty laugh for laughter can turn out to be very contagious, especially when it comes to drawing user attention.
- For the Traveler's Profile
A traveler's profile can be used by many organizations. It can be that of a traveling association or that of tourist catering services. You might want to use the traveler's profile if you are trying to target a particular section of the audience. Try posting pictures of sites that are tourist favorites especially if you are trying to promote the service of a tourist lodge. Travel pictures can be very dreamy and romantic and can inspire target audiences effectively. Do not forget to share the quality room service that one is going to get.

Andros Townsend has agreed a £12.9million transfer to Crystal Palace, according to a report.
Reliable French publication L'Equipe claim Palace have triggered the release clause in Townsend's Newcastle contract and reached an agreement with the player.
It is said that the Premier League club will pay £12.9million for the England international, who has been strongly linked with a summer exit from St James' Park.
Football Insider reported earlier this month that the winger was weighing up the shock possibility of staying at Newcastle in order to continue working with Rafael Benitez.
But Townsend could now be headed for Selhurst Park as he becomes the first senior Newcastle player to quit following the club's relegation from the Premier League.
It would also mean a quick return to the city in which he grew up following the attacking midfielder's January switch from boyhood club Tottenham to the north-east.

Sweet-And-Sour Pork Stir-Fry
Recipe by TXOLDHAM
We like this recipe because the pork is not battered and deep fried. Uses a light coating of cornstarch and lightly stir-fried in a little oil.
Top Review by ImPat
I did make changes but more to the quantities and added some fresh chilli to the recipe (DS's carer for Saturday gave us a bag of mixed fresh chillies - originally planned on makeing recipe #185971). I doubled the meat (but used half chicken and half pork) and I only had a small can of pineapple (just over 10 ounces - DH not big on the pineapple flavour in sweet and sour) and only half a green and red capsicum (bell pepper) as that was all I had and bugger forgot the sesame seeds. We really enjoyed and the DH has requested to try again but using just chicken. Thank you TXOLDHAM for a recipe that we will try again (even with some minor changes).

On Sunday night, about 15 miles east in San Marcos, deputies answering reports of screams for help and breaking glass found a woman with multiple stab wounds and cuts on her face.
She was listed in critical condition Monday morning, but authorities did not know her condition early Tuesday.
"Malil and the victim had apparently been in a dating relationship which recently ended," the statement said.
Malil was arrested for investigation of attempted murder, mayhem and burglary, the statement said.

While Motorola is set to announce a 'priced for all' smartphone in India on May 13, domestic vendor Micromax has revealed a low-end Android handset to intensify competition in the budget segment.
GizBot has just found out that Micromax has unveiled a new handset online under its Bolt series, dubbed the Bolt A69. The device has already been listed on the official website; however, Micromax is yet to officially announce the pricing and availability details.
At the same time, the low-end phone has been made available via online shopping site eBay at a price point of Rs. 6,599. Furthermore, a high-level source has already revealed to GizBot that the device will be ready to ship in India in the second week of May. And while there is no update from Micromax, it remains to be seen when buyers will get to have their hands on the Bolt A69.
Recommended: Micromax 4G Smartphone Leaks Online: Set to Launch By June 2014? [FIRST REPORT]
Equipped with a 4.5-inch (480 x 854) display, a dual-core processor, and a 5MP rear-facing camera, the Micromax Bolt A69 is an inexpensive phone but the hardware is largely underwhelming.
For domestic smartphone player Micromax, which has been struggling to shift large number of high-end phones, the need of the hour is to focus on affordable handset market.
The shift at Indian handset market comes in response to a changing competitive landscape. Both Chinese and international players have been aggressively coming up with low-to-mid range handset under Rs 12,000 price slab, putting pressure on domestic vendors who had been frequently churning high-end octa-core powered handsets.
Micromax Bolt A69 - Highlighted Specifications
This 3G-enabled handset features a 4.5-inch display, a 1-Ghz dual-core processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal memory, a microSD card slot, a 5MP rear-facing camera without Auto Focus, a VGA quality front-facing camera, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, Dual-SIM, Wi-Fi , FM Radio , and a 1800mAh battery fitted inside.

This week The Care and Feeding of Warriors finally does that long piece about Armor Penetration. You'll find Matthew Rossi screaming at the moon, caked in his own blood, after plunging into these non-Euclidian mysteries.
I've been threatening to write about it for weeks. Thing is, I'm not too sure who I'm threatening, you or me.
Armor Penetration has been with us in one form or another for quite a while now. There are abilities like Sunder Armor and Expose Armor that lower armor temporarily, of course, and the rogue talent Serrated Blades. My first conscious exposure to the mechanic was the epic weapon Bonereaver's Edge, which dropped off of Ragnaros. Back then, the mechanic was fairly simple. Bonereaver`s Edge would ignore a certain amount of armor with each proc of an on-hit ability, in this case 700 armor. It could stack up to three times, so in a fight that lasted for long enough Bonereaver`s could maintain an effective -2100 armor debuff on a boss that only applied to the person using it.
Effects like this weren`t terribly common in Vanilla WoW. I myself never had a Bonereaver's (Don't cry for me, I did all right on Rag drops if I do constantly brag so myself) and so Armor Pen didn't really impinge on my consciousness. Of course, I was mostly either a tank or an offtank back in the old MC/BWL/AQ/NAXX40 days anyway. Back when you could tank with an arms or fury spec and dinosaurs ruled Un'Goro. (They still do, we just don't go there very often.) So it wasn't until Burning Crusade that I really started to notice ArP.
Back in BC, armor pen didn't have rating yet. Enchants like Executioner read "Permanently enchant a Melee Weapon to occasionally ignore 840 of your enemy's armor. Requires a level 60 or higher item." Gear that had armor pen on it told you how much armor it was going to penetrate. Cataclysm's Edge, for instance, just said "Equip: Your attacks ignore 335 of your opponent's armor." What this meant was, when you collected a whole set of ArP gear, all you had to do was add up how much armor you were ignoring. The plus side of this was, it was very simple to understand. The down side? Well, on bosses or classes with low armor (we're talking those annoying skirt wearers who can take half of your health off in one attack that completely ignores armor, you know the ones) reducing up to, say, 3000 armor at level 70 was pretty dang nasty. So they changed Armor Pen to a rating.
From there, all our troubles began.

Bahrain on Tuesday suspended the kingdom's largest Shia political party and froze its assets as a crackdown on activists intensifies more than five years after the beginning of a pro-democracy uprising.
The official Bahrain News Agency published a statement from the Justice and Islamic Affairs Ministry that said a court had ruled to suspend al-Wefaq in order to "safeguard the security of the kingdom."
The Wefaq National Islamic Society has been suspended in the past, as Bahrain's monarchy has grappled with an uprising that began in the capital Manama on 14 February 2011. The party has demanded a transition to democracy and an end to the rule of King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa.
Despite insisting it has reformed, the monarchy has ordered a renewed crackdown in recent days with leading rights activists either arrested or forced into exile.
Nabeel Rajab, founder of the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights, was arrested on Monday and is being held in prison for undisclosed reasons. Zainab al-Khawaja, who was recently released from prison, has fled the country after claiming she was threatened with being rearrested.
Wefaq's lawyer Abdulla al-Shamlawi told the Associated Press that he was served with court papers on Tuesday morning, adding that a hearing took place so quickly he had no time to prepare a defence.
He said that the court documents included accusations that Wefaq has harmed Bahraini security since its founding in 2001 and that it also took part in unrest in during the mass 2011 protests.
"It was out of the blue," Shamlawi told The Associated Press.
A court date has been set for 6 October when it will be decided whether or not to "liquidate" Wefaq.
Hundreds of thousands of Bahrainis gathered peacefully in February 2011 to demand democratic reform from the Khalifa royal family. Bahraini authorities – backed by Gulf allies – responded to the protests with a crackdown, killing dozens of protesters, and since then countless activists and dissidents have been jailed and allegedly tortured.
"Bahrain is bulldozing its civil society," Sayed Alwadaei, director of advocacy at the London-based Bahrain Institute for Rights and Development, said in a statement.
Commenting on the crackdown at the UN on Monday, Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, said at least 250 people have lost their citizenship in Bahrain "because of their alleged disloyalty to the interests of the kingdom".
"Repression will not eliminate people's grievances; it will increase them," he said.
Bahrain rejected criticism of its crackdown and on Twitter Foreign Minister Khalid al-Khalifa wrote: "We will not allow the undermining of our security and stability and will not waste our time listening to the words of a high commissioner who is powerless."

An extremely well executed and well thought out mod with obviously a lot of work put into it. The main characters of the mod are nice and three dimensional and the comedy relief characters are genuinely funny and interesting at times. Voice acting is top notch. My personal favorite voice was Casavir ( Voice fits the character very well hats off to you Daniel Pierce) I really liked the fact that there can still be mods as well made as this even when Skyrim Modding has slowed down. Personally i would really like to see some female romance options too (i don't mean like competition like Neeska but kinda like Bishop romance) and some male competition for the Bishop and Cael and etc.
Thanks for the perfect mod,
P.S will there be a male centric mod like this from the SkyrimRomance team?
~AsherZen (Taylan Ergil)
Anyway thank you so so much again. Best Mod Ever.
X Meg.
This mod bring out a screaming little fan girl in me and please let your team know even if it's from some stranger on the internet that I've had the most fun in the past 2 hours with this mod installed then I ever have in Skyrim before. I literally cannot thank you and your amazing and talented staff enough for making this. It sounds awfully weird I know to gush as I have but it's how much this mod has affected me personally. There is one thing I forgot to mention and I'm not saying it needs to change because it's fine as is but the other 3 suitors; overly romanticized. I think the reason Bishop is the best pick if the only one currently is because he has his quirks. when you meet him and excuse my lovely language; Dragonborn? Why do I care? A single fuck isn't given even if your a person of stature in Skyrim. But the others, when you meet them all instantaneously just; I love you. It makes it far less interesting, I'm not saying overhaul their dialogue but if you don't have to fight for their love, then why try at all? If they are boot kissers from the start how will it change to make it exciting? Casavir for example; Paladin, white knight, maybe falls in love with you enough to try to break his knightly vows? Sexy, oh yes. Very. But if he's infatuated from the start then it's not.. Exciting. If you ever expand on him I would love to see what kind of 'darkness' he's hiding as Bishop suggests in their conversation. But if he's wanting to do it from the start then it'll be hard to make it fresh, and heart pounding as bishop was made to do. (Without fail may I add. -insert fangirling-) Now this is no insult to your writers but it's hard to love someone who doesn't feel like a person even if it's in Skyrim. If they say all the perfect things, well there's a prince for your princess. again Bishop, definitely not perfect. Would I choose him over anyone so far given the choice; absolutely. some hate Bishop which is fine because we both know he's an ass however, that makes him more believable. He won't say or do things just to get you to like him .which bring me to the thing you've done wonderfully. Development of character. Even if it's fast paced seeing how Bishop's words and actions change over time is just awesome. (Not saying they all have to be mean but it's boring listening to how amazing you are every time they speak with you unless you like that sort of thing then why not?) Okay I've bothered you enough for one night and I thank you with thegift of a mightysoul of a dragon and a sum of gold to further fund your endeavors in this project. Cheers! I will be donating to you later this evening and I hope it will be enough to get your staff a boost of confidence! -ChronoWingates
To See Skyrim Romance Review fast forward to 3:00!!!!
Loaded up this mod out of curiosity and I have only two words: My ovaries. Holy cringle crap this is amazing, simply put it's one of the best mods I've gone through and I haven't even played all too much of it. I always thought it was silly the amount of hot female companions you could get but you could never really find any male counterparts.
'Scuse me while I just fangirl over here forever and bleed estrogen out of my eyes.
I don't comment on here very often so I'll be blunt; this is quite possibly the best mod I've EVER downloaded and played save the GEMS (which moderators if you're listening this mod NEEDS to be a GEM if not seriously encouraged). I'm not giving much up but Bishop really tugs at the heart strings. At first not really but later on. For a hopeless romantic like me (surprisingly I'm a guy and I LOVE romance novels) this mod makes the unfeeling vanilla version of marriage obsolete. You feel a connection which is what the vanilla lacked. Vanilla was mostly, "hey you like greatswords and so do I so lets get married!" It felt empty, cold and hollow. I realize the whole idea was that life could be very hard and short in the game but still the marriage seemed more like another job not an actual relationship. I realize its just a game but when a guy like me actually starts to feel tears welling up in his eyes when progressing in this mod you know when someone has done a VERY good job at modding.
WingedTwilightoftheDawn…you are an artist! You've filled a void in the game that all but gutted the soul of it. When you play its just another RPG so that when you die you just reload from a different save. Now…with the female Dragonborn having someone who really cares about them you get the notion of, "I can't afford to die because someone is waiting for me to come home." Auughh the FEELS!
Moderators I don't want to give this one endorsement; I want my next 6 years of endorsements pooled into this mod. It's really breathed life into the game. Life where it needed it the most; the heart.
This is the mod I always wanted but was more than sure would never be made! Thank you to everyone who made/helped with this mod, you made a girl's guilty pleasure come true!
Gah, I love all the characters!
Hahaha, It was great when I first tried out the mod I was surprised(though not in a bad way) by Bishop's attitude towards Dragonborn right off the bat; I had a to start a new game because I didn't think my big, tall, werewolf-looking scarred-up Nord lady was going to get along well with a man who called her the other word for a tool or a barlady. Or maybe they could? …Probably not.
But honestly, Cael was my total favorite! His lines, man. Especially the last one before you decide what to do with him♥ /melts. Those words are pretty much burned into my brain…
I really hope you decide to expand on him!
I wish I could comment on everything but since I am more of a lurker than a commenter… and this is my first comment ever… I feel like I'm not adding anything that hasn't already been said!
Thanks again for the wonderful mod!
I finally finished this masterpiece today and all I can say is HOLY s***T this mod is AMAZING!
Of all the years that I have been playing Skyrim and modding, this is by far the best mod out there. Let me say that again. BY FAR THE BEST MOD OUT THERE! I wanted to say thank you again to Mara the creator and the whole team that worked on this beast. The voice acting was insanely superb – its like every voice matched the character perfectly. My favorite character was Bishop by far. He was well written and the way Jonah Scott delivered the dialog made his character so damn interesting. I really hope that this project will be expanded into more plot lines with Casavir and Cael. I had to replay the whole Crystal Ball story a few times because…well…*ahem* I thought someone extracted my fantasy and put it into a video game! I also think Raven would be an interesting character to expand on as well, maybe not on a grand scale like Bishop but a bit more story like Casavir and Cael.
I think it would be nice to see more interesting dialog with Bishop after you marry him. While there is some new dialog (I think maybe two or three sentences referring to you as his wife), but it would be nice to see more, and possibly take out the older options (like the menu selection of the comment of the tavern girls to your liking.)
I really can't say enough great things about this mod. I better stop before I get all fan-girl crazy! <3
I just want to say that I absolutely love your mod and I'm amazed at the level of quality and well.. just everything about it! It's so great to finally have a relationship in skyrim that actually feels like a real relationship. None of the "Oh hi honey, have some coin from this imaginary shop I randomly set up, in literally 2 seconds. Ok bye Honey, see you whenever you get back in a year or so." I just wanted to give you my thanks and tell you how great of a job you and your team, including voice actors and such, did on this mod. It really is something fantastic. 🙂
Best mod I've ever experienced, you did such a great job on this. I can really tell that everyone involved worked very hard. The characters, voice's and dialogue were perfect. You even worked in many surprises and it was never expected. I'd give this mod a million out of 10 and endorse 1 billion times if i could! Great job, i really hope to see more in the future! ^_^
This mod was utterly stunning. Once I started playing, I couldn't stop! The dialogue was phenomenal as well as the thought-out character plots.
Hi Mara & Team!
I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your efforts on this mod, it must have been such a labour of love for you. I started to mod Alistair from DAO into Skyrim (using the origin voice files) but stopped the mod after the first hurdle – which was very early on 🙂 so I can appreciate the enormous effort you've all gone to here.
I loved Bishop on NWN2 and you've captured his spirit perfectly. and his conversation with Casavir is classic! So again a huge thank you! I'm not a great modder (can't get my follower to follow lol) but if I can help at all in the future with testing or even some voice acting (I've had some training and limited radio experience) please let me know. Please note that I am Australian with a voice on the posher side – more Naomi Watts than Sam Worthington ("come at me bro") thankfully 🙂
Anyway thank you so so much again. Best Mod Ever.
X Meg.
I found your mod watching Skyrim mods weekly by MMOxReview, and I'm SO glad I watched it
It has been a while since I played skyrim, but I just instaled this mod and now I simply CAN'T stop playing!
I love everything about it- the characters, the writing, the voices…It's all perfect! I've been dreaming about a romance mod or just a follower mod that was aimed at the female audience for AGES and I'm so hyped about it now!
Best. Mod. Ever.
I can't express my gratitude enough.
Well,that surely was a lot of work!
Even if i'm a straight male and thus only tested the mod out,
it's a great addition to the game
Maybe some modders will bring out some optional romance options for guys
based on your mod. That would be great!
Keep it on!
People like you make the game even better!
Just got back from your home page. I have downloaded and endorsed your file, I am a firm supporter of all mods that add realism or innuendo to the stage we play on. After all, Skyrim is a theatre for many of us and mods like this improve that to no end.
I'd just like to give a review that everything was, very, very well done. And that's just after having bishop around for 30 minutes, i love his design, you made it spot on. While I've never actually play'd the old Bioware game, Neverwinter Nights. You all seem to have spent your hearts at this work, I belive you all need a good recommendation for it, and some nice words. The voice acting is stunnish, i'm the type of person, who's very, very, very iffy on mod voicing. But, man you folks pulled it off, really well aswell! I feel like there's so much to explore now with a companion that progresses like I do, it feels good to have company, I haven't seen all the goodies this mod has yet, so I'm eager to jump on it right now, I just thought I'd give you all a review, that the mod is perfectly made, it makes me want to play the game even more, thank you so much for creating this. You all brought some sweet story progress into it, a Bioware feel to it, and since I'm a very, very big fan of Bioware. It's good, just... BRILLIANT, hope all goes well with you all in the future! Much love, Caroline. <3
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! You don't know how long I've been wanting this kind of mod, I really appreciate all of the work that's gone into this and i'm so excited to start playing…the female community thanks you.
While I do consider myself exceptionally in touch with my sexuality, I can only be called M'lady in a deep silky voice so many times before I start squirming. I appreciate what you've done though and will gladly make my first female player character to experience this mod. Will endorse if I can make it to the end or it turns out I'm gay.
Having placed a comment on the last incarnation of this absolutely wonderful mod, I'm pleased I get a chance to respond again (and endorse) this mod which I've been waiting on and searching for since Skyrim launched! This is an obvious labour of love from all involved, so all kudos to WingedTwilight for the vision that created this, and to DigitalVixen for all the assistance she's been providing as well. This for me is about must-have a mod as their can be for a deeper and more intimate experience in the narrative of my character's "life" in the game. I can't wait to see any further evolutions of this masterpiece, and plan to enjoy this like dark chocolate… slow and savoured! ^^ As far as any suggestions for the future, I can think of only one, which I mentioned in my last post: it would be even more involving if the NPCs that you meet or comment about you made some observations regarding the PCs race (orc, dunmer, vampire, etc). As a player who runs multiple characters, it's always a boon to immersion to be recognized for it. Either way, amazing mod! Many Thanks!
Many thanks to all of the wonderful people who created this mod. I've been searching forever for a male followers/love interests mod with female audiences in its mind. I always wished that there could be a mod with beautifully created, fully voiced, marriable male npc (just like hundreds of beautifully created, fully voiced, marriable female npcs out there) , so this mod is way more than what I was asking for. One of the best feature of this mod is the voice acting. It is done by professionals so the all of the voices are top-notched. I seriously can go on forever about their voices (I watched MxR's review and when Bishop started to speak I was like, WAS THAT JONAH SCOTT?). Another thing is that, although I haven't explore them all, but I trully love the variety of NPCs that this mod has to offer (Forsworn! people tend to forget about them). So yeah, again, thanks for bringing us this mod. It is a very ambitious and promising project. There are still a few minor bugs here and there but they are not game-breaking. I hope it can become an initiate that encourages more contents aiming at female players.
This has some freaking amazing voice acting. I understand a few of them are professionals? Are they willing to work for other mods? I would love to have the Bishop and Casavir VAs for other projects! You should use them again for more dialogue! I would love to hear more of them! Very good work everyone. 10/10 would reccomend.
Thank you so very much for you and the team working on this mod for us! I am very pleased to see this and watch it develop. I have a feeling it is going to go very far and become glued to our mod list.
P.S. Thank you to DigitalVixen for the fixes (read on description).
Thank you, really appreciate the work done here, the whole team. Been waiting a long time for a mod like this to come out. Now Skyrim feels complete, Thank God. Having more dialogue choices would spice up the story line, and looking forward to that in the future, if it will happen. Again thank you truly, theirs no mod like this, couldn't believe it exist when first seeing it. Can't wait to add screenshots.

I haven't looked at Dennis's changes yet but I think from what he's said here they make sense. The ToU on the "project" site is basically a re-working by Dave ( I presume since he was the creator of this page based on what I assume was a request by all at the time) of what is now on http://www.openoffice.org/terms_of_use In fact, much of what is in the project "Terms of Use" page is pretty much what Dennis had suggested in his revisions attache to the older issue he filed. Why I like having a ToU -- * it simplifies what the legalities are with respect to the web site. I think the wording could be changed to extend to ALL of the services we currently provide now -- web site(s), forums, wiki * it puts in ONE place what the legal aspects are of using/modifying what we provide Usage and donation terms are much simpler -- probably more in line with what most people would expect. * there is NO mention of ALv2 for content in: http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/terms.html which makes good sense to me * the ToU needs some modification with respect to the source code area where, yes, Alv2, would definitely apply I think there does need to be clarification between the "host" being ASF vs AOO-PPMC. I take "host" to be a hosting entity which I would think would be ASF. If we don't create a ToU like this to cover the web site(s), the forums and wiki(s), I do think, based on questions we've already gotten, we need to state something about content use and modification. > I think it matters that there are requests for permission to reuse materials on the site and it is not clear what standing the PPMC has to approve (or decline) such requests. > We *never* have standing to approve requests to reuse content.
