For Love & Lemons
Veranda Tank
Derived from those sun-soaked Lemonade Stand Days, designers and owners, Gillian Mahin and Laura Hall are the masterminds behind the line For Love & Lemons. Born in Wyoming, finding their style niche in Australia and now based in Los Angeles, the collection is anything but conventional-rebelling against the standards of modern society. The line taunts with intrigue as a clash of colors and patterns are evoked by chic separates and devious dresses. Where the modern gypsy is punk, For Love & Lemons is a brand to relate to, for that girl that doesnt follow trends, she makes them.
- 100% poly
- Dry clean only
- Adjustable shoulder straps with tie closure
- Styled with For Love & Lemons Brigette Short in Creme Floral.
- Styled with Rebecca Minkoff Mirra Heel in Universo/Taupe/Olive.
- Styled with gorjana Eden Stack Ring Set in Gold/Rose Gold.
- Styled with gorjana Lena Ring in Gold.
- Modeled in size S. See fit guide for model's dimensions.
- Revolve Style No. FORL-WS34

As many note, it's easy to doubt 'victims' who reportedly didn't seek timely medical attention, isn't it?
Why the delay? If it's life threatening, don't we promptly get medical help and call the cops?
Is this reminiscent of the Judicial Terrorism pimped by Girard R. Visconti (www.viscontilaw.com), George Allen Wilson, II of Cheffy, "We Make Housecalls!", Passidomo (www.napleslaw.com), 'dirty divorce lawyer' Mark V. Silverio (www.silveriohall.com) and "Perjury Pat" Stoye of the Marco Island Police on behalf of The Zecchino Estate Grifters, who'd looted yet another Seven-Hundred-Thousand-Dollars ('to greasze off da judges')from The Living Trust of 1957? Didn't the gutless Grifters, who feared going to prison, in tedious thuggish manner yet again falsely accuse the innocent in vain effort to cover their cloven-hoof corkscrew-tailed tracks?
Didn't The Grifters falsely allege that the innocent assaulted their elderly mark? Didn't law enforcement who examined their lies note, the delay in filing the Injunction and deliberate avoidance of medical attention prove that their claims were total fabrications?
Isn't setting up the innocent via Judicial Terrorism an old story? Didn't Vincent Zecchino, M.D. file a sham lawsuit against Star Market to distract from the 'suicide' of stockbroker, Katherine Candon, who'd noted irregularities in Trust administration?
Didn't that suit go on and on for years during which time Vincent Zecchino repeatedly stated, he 'stuck his head in a little girl's room...she died...they'll take everything'? Wasn't that Red Herring tale with no factual basis one of many red flags, along with delay in reporting the imaginary 'head injury' for more than a year and then waiting more than another year to file suit?
Didn't the Court say the delays, along with planting cronies on the jury and subornin testimony from two 'star witnesses' were among many reasons why the case was dismissed?
But what of young James Milmoe, who filed suit against the good doctor in 1958? Why was he later found beaten to death on his kitchen table?
When people falsely accuse the innocent, aren't they serving notice that scrutiny of their tortuous twisted devious affairs is long overdue?
Isn't that why American Citizens are disappointed with cronies who practice Judicial Terrorism to prosper at the expense of the innocent, whose rights they violate in false belief that because they got away with murder for the moment, they got away with it for all time?

Product 146/1375
In the Charleston of 1820 slavery was a way of life. Josiah Cavanaugh was wealthy, educated and black; when he bought the white Irish slave Pegeen he was fulfilling his own dark fantasy. Pegeen, a slave since she was five, only hoped for a decent master. Neither of them expected the explosion of passion their joining would cause.
Used in bed by several masters for their own pleasure, Pegeen had no idea of how enjoyable a woman could find sex. Josiah purchased the white girl on a whim; he never anticipated that showing her the joy of lovemaking could increase his own. Neither could foresee that they would fall in love, nor the complications that would result.
Pegeen knew that a slave should keep its head down and do nothing to draw attention to itself, but she couldn't help looking around and then exclaiming in pleasure. The room was so beautiful it might have come from Heaven itself. Done in yellow and white and gold, it was prettier than anything she had ever seen in the islands.
"I am glad you approve," said Josiah Cavanaugh in a stern voice.
Immediately she dropped her gaze and stood still, intently studying the carpet. She didn't need to look at him to be amazed all over again.
Where she had come from the slaves had been white and black and a few brown, but without exception the masters had all been white. For a black man to own slaves was something totally outside her imagination, but apparently this man did.
At the slave broker's she had studied him covertly. Dark, with hair cropped so close it couldn't kink, he was muscular and well built and dressed as nicely as any white man she had ever seen. His face was handsome but hard, as if he never smiled, nor spoke more than he had to.
He circled her slowly and though she saw nothing but the carpet at her feet it was as if she could feel his gaze going over her like the hot winds of an island summer.
"Take off your dress."
Pegeen looked up, shocked. "In your drawing room?"
The hard face became harder and his words were like small stones. "You are a slave. I bought you. I own you. If you do not please me I can take you to bed, whip you, brand you, even kill you and no one will say a word because you are my property. Do you understand?"
Recklessly Pegeen looked him in the eye. His eyes were large and black, with slightly yellowish whites, as if reflecting a spring sun. They were also hard and completely devoid of human emotion.
"I have been a slave since I was five years old," she replied in level tones. "I have been sold half a dozen times. I was ten when I was sold away from my mother, and I have no idea if she still lives or not. I know what owners can do to slaves."
"Then take off your dress!"

Listen to Lil Wayne on iHeartRadio
Rap superstar Lil Wayne is apparently still suffering seizure setbacks. TMZ.com says Wayne was taken to a hospital in Los Angeles Tuesday night after suffering "multiple seizures" following a shoot for a music video.
However, the website says he was released a few hours later and is said to be doing "much better now."
Lil Wayne was hospitalized several times last year for what reports linked to seizure episodes.

When I walked out of the Shark Tank with a $50,000 investment, I had no idea where to start. Although Barbara is a genius when it comes to real estate, business & marketing, product development was the one area where she lacked experience. After all, AVA was the 1st product she invested in while filming Shark Tank. I set out on a journey to learn the "Ins and Outs" of developing and launching a successful product!
Almost two years later, I have a international hit & well known brand. I receive between 300-2000 emails a month asking the question: "How did you do it?" The bottom line is, I did it with a lot of hard work & determination. The path for developing my product was not handed to me. Much like any investor, Barbara expected me to do the leg work and supported me along the way. I am thankful for that because it forced me to really LEARN this industry. The sad fact is, I found there were more companies looking to take advantage of inventors/entrepreneurs than there were those willing to help. I am determined to give you the simple, yet time consuming steps to develop a product. Along the way, you will find that manufacturers, freight forwarders, and even licensing companies will all take full advantage of you if given the opportunity. Even with my well known investor and careful consideration, some took advantage of me. My goal is to steer you down the right path so you have a fighting chance at making your dream a reality.
When I first started developing AVA I wasn't able to find answers to all of my questions in one place. Yes, I eventually figured it out, but my lack of education resulted in some major roadblocks along the way, including financial setbacks. I have attended some great entrepreneur events. One that really took away what I call "fluff" and gave you real life steps was Tory Johnson's Spark & Hustle. (http://sparkandhustle.com/) I attended the event to sit on a panel and help others, but I also left with a wealth of knowledge and a few new friends that I would cherish for years to come! With that said, I have seen a lot of events that lure inventors/entrepreneurs with the "keys to success," but many are all fluff and not enough cold hard facts.
This program came out of my desire to help others, as well as my own frustration in seeing people taken advantage of. A few months ago, I decided I would take the time to write down all of the steps I took and put them in one place in an easy-to-reach, affordable website program! I don't care for companies that want to profit solely on entrepreneur passion. They often speak of "License your product now!" Or "Patent this, patent that!" The reality is, neither of these may be your priority in the beginning. Once my first patent was awarded, I received HUNDREDS of "scams" in the mail regarding my patent. You may be thinking "Don't patent my product? Are you crazy?" OR "But all I want to do is license my idea and sit back and collect royalties" I am not saying you will not or should not do either, but it shouldn't necessarily be your first priority. AVA the Elephant is a successful product and we still aren't at the licensing phase.
My goal in mentioning other seminars to you is so that you may keep in mind what you get for your money. You are going to spend a lot of money on launching a product! If you spend $2000.00 on a one-weekend seminar, that will not do the leg-work for you, it may not be money well spent. I would depend on the seminar I suppose. Consider your thinking pattern and be willing to question and test it when securing an investor! Although I have an investor, I closely consider every penny spent on AVA. You will need to do the same thing from day one in order to succeed.
Inspiration and drive are important, but it is not going to get your product on shelves. It is going to take hard work and determination!
If you are trying to break into retail, know that there are "rules" that are not broken. Simply put, my invention was seen by over 6 million people in one night and became a favorite of moms and children right away. However, I was not able to get into stores quickly, and you probably will not either. Searching for a retail buyer's email, name or phone number is far down on the list of things you will need, although many people think it should be 1 on the list. If you want to succeed, you have to prepare your product and presentation before selling your product to retailers/customers.
I will take away all of the FLUFF and give you the simple steps! I will give you a list of the exact steps I took to get to where I am now. I don't recommend skipping over steps. The order in which you do them is VERY important as well. The reality of securing an investor without gathering all of the needed information is next to impossible. I won't confuse you with the "what if's", like licensing your idea, as the reality is that may not happen. It is more important that I am realistic with you and offer you a plan. Stage 1 will focus on: Idea Conception, Patents, Prototyping & Finding a Manufacturer. Stage 2 will focus on: Investors, Retail Buyers, Logistics & becoming a vendor. You will have to put in the time, and in the end you could have a worldwide hit like AVA! For inspiration read my blogs about roadblocks I encountered along the way, some of which I am able to laugh at now, some not so much. (Cancer sure will throw a wrench in your plans!) My hope is that my triumphs and mistakes will make this a successful journey for you in the end!

All the best,

Unity Community |
Dear awesome Unity community,
With great pleasure I will share that we have completed development on version 2.6 of Unity. This release includes some awesome new features for everyone like a brand new Animation Editor and Project search, along with additional Pro-only features such as a Profiler, Ambient Occlusion, and tons more.
You can read more about what's been packed into this release on the new 2.6 feature page.
But we're not quite done here... That's right, we've discontinued Unity Indie and replaced it with a feature-identical version of the Editor called simply "Unity". The difference? Unity is free for everyone. One more barrier to entry torn down.
For current Indie license holders, we've thought about you too! We're offering a discount on a Unity Pro upgrade for all Indie license holders. Until the end of the year, you can upgrade to Unity Pro for $1099. And if you've purchased Unity Indie in the past 60 days, you can opt to receive a full refund for your purchase instead. Those who qualify for the full refund should receive an email with details soon.
Finally, I'd just like to say thanks to everybody that uses, learns, and teaches Unity. Our community is about to grow again with new Unity users, and I'm just really proud of how the spirit of helping and supporting each other perseveres throughout each new influx. It's just great, plain and simple. I'm looking forward to playing all your brilliant creations!
Here are some more details of the rebate, directly from Nicholas (as posted in the Gossip thread)
Originally Posted by nicholasHey guys.

We certainly don't want to leave any Indie users out in the cold, so our email servers will be sending out mails to all existing indie users (unless they asked we don't mail them)
The deal we're offering looks like this:
Existing paid indie users get the following upgrade offers:
We are giving a 400$ discount on a Unity Pro upgrade, or a $250 discount on the iPhone Basic - so you can add iPhone games to your roster for $150. We don't care when you bought it - we'll be happy to upgrade you
This offer is valid to the end of the year, so you've got some time to save up to make use of this.
Alternatively, if you've purchased Unity Indie in the last 60 days, you can also get a full refund. In this case you'll get an email no matter if you asked not to be contacted (if you're really annoyed by getting an email containing money, you have my apologies ). If you choose the refund, you lose the upgrade rebates naturally.
Again, all this is in the mails that are going out today and over the night so don't worry.
Also, please don't panic; we're not gonna drop a bunch of ads in your dev tool or in your games or any other weird stuff. It's literally the same Unity that you've always had.
If you can't activate right now, bear with us - our servers are getting hammered, so we're scrambling a bit to catch up
Woh that is a radical change to Unity and the community.
But nice, even though i purchased the ide ver at the begin of the year - but hey times change
great work on the new release
Thanks for it all
Hey Unity
You just made me angry. I've really worked hard on earning that amount of money for an Indie license this year. I live in a 3rd-world country and $200 is not an easy money to get.
Now, just months later you make it free and my only option now is to SPEND AGAIN on a huge amount of money to get the discounted prices of what I don't need (e.g. Pro or iPhone) -- and only for a limited time!
Like I said, I am not in a glorious country and that amount of money is precious to me. I NEED A REFUND!
- Andrei
from Philippines
So how does this refund work for people who have Unity Indie + Unity iPhone Basic? Can I get the refund for Indie, and still keep my Unity iPhone Basic license?
I'd prefer to upgrade to Pro, but can't afford it right now, so the refund would be a nice option.
Good luck with the new release!
Yeah I don't want to be a hater but I am also quite disappointed.
I have Indie which I bought in March and though I don't want a refund I am chocked that almost all the new features in 2.6 are for Pro. I was looking forward to the Profiler and the SVN support....very lame. And why don't we get them? Because now it's free and the dev's can say - hey what do you expect for $0 - well some of us didn't pay 0$!! I would understand all the visual/graphic features to be in Pro only.
Very very disappointing, $1100USD is still a lot of money for a lot of us. And how long until Unity 3.0 and we have to pay out again. I think moving to Pro should be considerable less for Indie holders for that reason alone.
Well, you still got what you paid for, and unless they promissed that those features would be in the Indie version, I think it's a fair decission from them.
My issue is not what I paid for I have no complaints there. My complaint is with 2.6 - they really should have broken the features out for Indie and Pro long ago to set expectations.
As we are getting closer to a 3.0 release who wants to spend $1100 and then have to shell out again in less than a year(?).
In all fairness they always said that VCS support was going to be Pro-only.
Also, if you buys 2.6 Pro you'll get 3.0 at a discount (you can check out the store for the current discounts on the previous version).
I don't think 3.0 will come out anytime soon -- at the soonest, a year, although I could be wrong but since it's a huge update, I think it'll be later rather than sooner.
2.6 Basic has more features than 2.6 Indie. 2.6 Pro has even more.
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

My friend and I (who are also from the Philippines), were still planning how to get the money for a Unity Indie license, and now you're giving it to us for free! We're so happy We want to hug you guys~!
Thank You! Thank You again!
Ridiculous. We paid for something that is now free. Where's our refund, Unity?
The people complaining on this thread about Unity (indie) now being free makes me ill. Geesh, I really hate stupid greedy people.

"Our life is frittered away by detail... simplify, simplify."
-Henry David Thoreau
Not that I am really in a position to bargain, but as a hobbiest, I still can't afford $1100 to upgrade. I would for $650 though. This is the "Upgrade to Unity Pro from Unity 1.x Pro" price. I wonder how many other Indies would take advantage of a one time advantage like this. I don't want to miss the new 2.6 or whatever features ... This would also pretty much lock us into your 2-3 year upgrade loop.
You can't afford NOT to give us this one time low-low price, Unity, so act now ... I can't do this all day.

Thanks UNITY for making it free! Although, it kinda sucks for those who paid for the Indie version, I still think it's an awesome move. Unity could be the new standard engine for web games! Yey for FREE UNITY!!!

Yeah, great. I bought it on 2009/07/28, I can get a refund? (it's only 2-3 days from that 60 limit which is a must for refund with any software)
Yeah, damn those stupid, greedy.. evil.. EVIL people.
BRB, checking the status of the money-growing-tree in my backyard.
I purchased unity indie and iphone basic 3 months ago, I only wanted to develop for the iphone but as you know you require both. As I live in the UK I had to pay 25% tax on top of the standard price which made the purchase around $750. with this in mind I read the unity road map and estimated my time for support, at least upto unity indie 3. It now seems I have an iphone product that I cannot use as I do not have unity pro (which I do not want) and my estimations were shall we say off the mark
Unity for free is great news, however as a paying customer I have only had support for 3 months. Does this mean no more support on unity iphone basic upto 2.0 or beyond for unity indie license owners.
Where are you reading that Unity isn't going to support non-pro users?
Nick Breslin, Social & Unity Developer
Founder of Etiquette Studio
Nicholas said that there is a $400 discount on the Pro upgrade. The upgrade to Pro is normally $1300. So, a $400 discount makes the upgrade $900. This seems quite generous to me, especially considering that it doesn't matter when you purchased Indie...there's no 60-day thing, unlike for the refund. I do think the 2 month limitation on this offer is a bit short with Christmas at the end of it, but it's still a good offer.Originally Posted by PrvtHudsonNot that I am really in a position to bargain, but as a hobbiest, I still can't afford $1100 to upgrade.
Got the upgrade email from Sales Team..
Wow, for just 51,000 (+VAT extras) bucks I can be the proud owner of a shiny new Pro.. which I will again have to pay to upgrade soon, but that's a different story. Forget making games, this year my goal is to raise enough money to pay for Pro version.But what we're writing about today is different. As of today we've gone ahead and made Unity Indie free (it's also just called Unity now, but the featureset and license remain the same). To show our appreciation to our Unity Indie customers we've decided to offer you an upgrade of your Unity Indie license to Unity Pro for just €749..
Also, no refund option. Great.
Whelp, I am done. On the side note, great people like randyedmonds won't be seeing more of us greedy people here. :P

The Duchess (12A)
Time Out rating:
Time Out says
Tue Sep 2 2008
If you've seen the posters for 'The Duchess', you'll know that they recall the marital woes of another Spencer, Princess Diana, born two centuries after Georgiana (Keira Knightley), the young noble whose tempestuous marriage in 1774 to William, Duke of Devonshire (Ralph Fiennes) is the subject of this intelligent and beautifully crafted Gainsborough-inspired costume drama from British director Saul Dibb.Thankfully, the tagline – 'There were three people in her marriage' – is as far as the filmmakers are willing to push the analogy, but you can see where they're coming from: Georgiana is a young, beautiful bride who marries into one of the country's richest families and suffers domestic misery, while blossoming into a fashion icon and friend of the chattering classes. William is older, colder, a piercer of dreams who's more loving to his dog than his wife and who openly introduces a mistress (Hayley Atwell) into his household. The parallels are there to play with – at a stretch, you could even pitch Georgiana's friendship with the playwright Sheridan (Aidan McArdle) against Diana's later flirtation with the entertainment world – but, thankfully, Dibb and co-writers Jeffrey Hatcher and Anders Thomas Jensen play no such games.
One of the strengths of 'The Duchess' is its intimate, unashamed embrace of its story's here-and-now. We're not expected to impose twenty-first century ideals of marriage on Georgiana and William, rather to empathise with their situation while considering contemporary ideas of personal freedom. It's a theme that's reflected in the Whig element of the story: the couple are seen to be good friends of socialite politician Charles James Fox (a reliably conspiratorial Simon McBurney), who indulges Georgiana's forthright views on liberty. Of course, this is still costume drama, with all its attendant wigs and frocks and stately camerawork, but Dibb pays as much, if not more, attention to the private stresses of the bedroom as he does to the public rituals of dinners and balls. He's also helped enormously by a mature, restrained portrayal from Knightley, a masterclass in passive aggression from Fiennes and a performance of tender seduction from Atwell.

Reviews & ratings
I haven't read the book but watching the film I have to say it was the best period drama I have ever seen. Keira was very good and the costumes, acting and scenery were all brilliant. I was so moved I couldn't stop thinking about it for days afterwards, which for me is a sign of a very good movie. It makes you wonder how women in those times coped having to bottle it all up and how disgusting some men were allowed to be.
Emily Fri Jan 4Rated as: 5/5 -
I thought Ralph Fiennes was just really playing R Fiennes, Keira held the camera but agree with other reviewers it was very lite, lovely costumers however other characters were not allowed to develop and it ended up rather dull. BAFTA no.
Sarah Mon Dec 31 2012 -
If only they had told the real story and not used so much artistic license, it could have been brilliant.
Richard Sun Dec 30 2012Rated as: 4/5 -
I haven't seen the Duchess yet. I'm still reading the book, which is compelling. When I watch the film, i'll post my review.

We really enjoyed our stay. Towels were changed every day, there was a safe in our room and a shelf in the bathroom where one could put one's glasses. Since our room was on the 4th floor and faced the back side of the hotel, there was hardly any noise. Breakfast was brilliant & the location superb (2 tube stations & Kensington Gardens in walking distance, ). Minor disadvantage: the ventilation of the restaurant below the hotel passed next to our room's window, so cooking scents could be smelled

Rory McIlroy will be back, bigger and braver than ever after Masters setback
Posted on Monday, April 11, 2011 at 11:30 AM

Rory McIlroy will overcome his traumatic experience at Augusta in due time.
He's just a kid, albeit one with a very special talent, but if you look at golfers like Padraig Harrington and Nickk Faldo, they struggled for many years before making the Majors breakthrough.
Indeed, Faldo was derisively known as 'Foldo' in the British tabloid press before he got it together.
McIlory will learn an enormous amount from the experience, but also, that leading a tournament for three rounds is the worst possible recipe for success.
Only one man in 20 years has done it at Augusts and now it is clear why, the level of pressure is just so great.
A friend who accompanied him around the last 18 holes in Augusta writes;
"Like Bobby Jones says " the golf course is played on a 5 inch field, the one between your ears".......Augusta National and the roars across the course claim another victim on Sunday.....something very special about that little town in GA and golf course....I've played there with some good golfers that wanted to cry when they tallied up their score at 18 after playing it for the first time......and will tell you that it just beats on you after the front nine which usually causes you to make mistakes on the back nine or find a rhythm to win......
"Proud of the way he played for three days and it was also said to watch him collapse as I followed him on Sunday.....I told my buddies to think about what you were doing or considered pressure at 21 years old.....this kid was trying to win the biggest golf tournament in the world and he will be back many more times to finally win it one day...
"..the Patrons were extremely gracious to him giving a standing ovation and just trying to uplift him even after he was out of the race which seemed to console him as he walked up the fairways with his head down, that only can happen at a special place called Augusta National...
Some day soon McIlroy will make that walk with his head high I'm sure.

Of course he has many brilliant wins in his future plus he's a joy to watch and good in interviews. Your lavish headline predictions scare me though as a) they frequently don't happen and b) I don't like the blowhard, grandstanding tone!

Welcome to Kobolz. I, am Drakel.
Not much to say, I'm new at this but have a lot of ideas down for the game.
First off, this game will be having a Forward and a backwards option, meaning that when there is an opening that allows you to move forward or backwards, YOU CAN!!!
In the Command Thread (NOT HERE) You must write your command like such.
::: (Command)
When you Level, itll look like this.
::: (Command)
>> (Level Up Choice)
In this Game, there will be several rooms to be in. Every room will be different, but one out of every 3-5 rooms WILL have a Secret Shrine and/or a Mini-Game. Finding these WILL be of great benefit to your individual Kobold. However, BOTH the found Mini-Game and/or the found Shrine, once activated/played, cant be activated nor played again until 24 game hours has passed. (72 Turns).
Every Kobold MUST have a chosen Dragon when it is created. Choose wisely because once you choose your Kobolds Deity, there is no going back.

(Click the image for a more detailed version of the Money)
Our Kobold money is called Scales. There are FOUR types of Scales, Copper scales, Silver Scales, Gold Scales, and Platinum Scales. Every scale has 5 pieces that can easily break off and be put back together again.
Every 1- Copper Scale Fragment = 1 copper
Every 5 Copper Scale Fragments = 5 copper
Same applies to Silver, Gold and Platinum.
The Kobold's money system is a lot better than that.
5 Copper Fragments = 1 Copper
5 Copper Scales = 1 Silver Fragment
5 Silver Fragments = 1 Silver Scale
5 Silver Scales = 1 Gold Fragment
5 Gold Fragment = 1 Gold Scale
5 Gold Scales = 1 Platinum Fragment
5 Platinum Fragment = 1 Platinum Scale
Also, Prices are called "Fragments and Scales" Which can be related to the U.S.A's "Cents & Dollars".
There will be two ways to mine any form of Ore. You can find Rocks to mine the Ore out of or you can find cracks in stone walls that have color of the Ore. In numerical order this how much ore you will receive from each of the numbers in the picture.

How to Level Up?
You can level up through favor and/or experience. Both are very important in this game and can be very helpful into making progress towards the next level. They are two separate forms of "experience bars" so when one levels you up you can still continue to work on the other to level up further as well.
I kill a monster and level up through my experience. I am now level 2. I then managed to find a secret shrine and leveled up through my favor. Now I'm level 3.
Experience: This is gained by doing basic things like creating weapons, armor, houses, base, ECT... It can also be gained by doing quests, missions and teamwork like stuff. It is also gained by killing monsters, people and hostile enemies. When you level by experience, all of your stats are boosted but you also get to choose two of six stats that will receive double the boost.
Your options are: Health, Mana/Stamina, Strength, Speed, Defense and Attack. Make your decision wisely.
Health: Increases your Health Points, making you live longer in battle.
Mana/Stamina: Increases your Mana/Stamina points, Making you able to cast more spells or commit more special moves.
Strength: Increases your carrying weight.
Speed: Makes you move faster/farther each turn.
Defense: Makes hitting you harder, increases your blocking/dodging chances and increases your natural armor, decreasing damage you take.
Attack: Improves the damage you do with your attacks, Increases your chance to hit and crit.
Favor: This is harder to gain than Experience, but the benefit is greater. This is gained by pleasing your Dragon Deity . This can be done by finding secret shrines, doing the mini-quests, finding religious relics, converting other (NPC) Kobolds to follow your god, Creating new shrines/temples/statues for your god, and completing Vision Quests that are given to you by your deity. When you level by favor your stats grow minorly but your Gods Skills and Gifts grow more, as do your abilities damage. You also get to make a choice of one out of three things given to you by your god.
Your options are: Randomly given Ability, Randomly Summoned Item, and Lucky Chance.
Randomly Given Ability: A random ability given to you by your deity that will reflect either/both your class and the deity that you have chosen.
Randomly Summoned Item: A randomly summoned item that your god thinks you'll be needing later on in your adventures. These could be weapons, armor, or anything else that you WILL be needing in a near future.
Lucky Chance: More like an IOU... should you be about to die this will create a major burst of luck that'll make something happen to save your life.
NOTE: It is Possible to earn NEGATIVE Favor. More Favor you get, more good things happen, Less Favor you get, less pleasant things can happen. Dont piss off YOUR god. (Pissing off the other gods is fine though.)
In Game there are only four Main Stats that you MUST pay attention to.
1) Health
2) Mana/Stamina
3) Hunger
4) Weight
These Stats WILL be important to your survival.
If you lose all your Health, you WILL die.
If you lose all your Mana/Stamina you CANT cast spell or use special moves.
You allow your hunger to drop to 0, you WILL begin to lose health.
If your Weight is full, youll either move very slowly or you cant move at all.
Lower Health, more chance there is for you to die.
Lower Mana/Stamina, less powerful spells/abilities you can perform.
Lower Hunger, more youll need to eat to survive.
Higher Weight, Slower your character will move.
Its as simple as that.
Under these four stats there will also be your Favor & Experience Stats, which will tell you how close you are till leveling up.
Magic users are the only ones to use mana. They must learn spells by reading tomes or by using an enchanting table. Mana is magical energy and for major spell casters like mages sorcerers, Witchdoctors and more, it is their only source of power. More Magic means more power for them since they can't use stamina. Each magic user can only use a certain type of magic and can't learn all types of magics. (Necromancers can't use light magics, Druids can't learn technomancy, and Witchdoctors can't learn Rune magics)...
Fighters or Stealth users can't use mana. Instead they use Stamina. Those who use stamina must create Special moves or tricks through either combat or training. Stamina is the energy source for major fighters or stealth users like BattleMasters, Rogues, Knights, Rangers and ect... Unlike Magic, where only certain types of magics can be used once your class is picked, Tricks and Special moves are universal, meaning any stamina user can learn them. Major magic users on the other hand can not use Stamina.
Tricks ~ These are the traps, the sly moves, and stealth related attacks or movements. These give way for multiple attacks of opportunity and quick movements while also preventing yourself from getting hit. These also help determine weak points and kinks in an enemy's armor or defense.
Special Moves ~ These are Major attacks that car near unblock able and are either for the offensive or for the defensive, or a small mix of the two. In any case these deal far more damage than tricks and are for more up front combat. These Help you smash, cut or force your way through an enemy's defense with ease or preventing them from getting through yours.
Buffs ~ These are Passive abilities that are used to help yourself and further your over all ability. They are constant as soon as you decide to use them and when in use it will take away a certain amount of your overall stamina until it is decided that you no longer wish to use these. These make you stronger, faster, stealthier, ect... continuously.
There are some classes that can use both Mana and Stamina but in a smaller amount than major users of them. These classes tend to be Spellswords, Templars, Battlemages, ect...
Every character WILL have their own individual Stat Sheets.
Health: 100/100
Mana: 15/30
Stamina: 5/20
Hunger: 5/10
Weight: 25/100
Favor: 7/10

You carry ONE spear, TWO 1-handed Swords (one Long, the other Short), ONE 2-handed Sword, and SIX 4-blade Shurikens. You are capable in using any weapon with skill.

Brainstorming is widely used by teams as a method to generate ideas and solve problems. However, many brainstorming activities are flawed and can end up hurting creativity rather than helping spur ideas. It has been well documented that traditional brainstorming, where groups come together and toss out ideas one by one, is often a flawed process. Issues with brainstorming include:
- Lack of preparation: If participants in a brainstorming session don't understand the goals of the session in advance, they will come to the session unprepared and significant time will need to be spent ensuring all participants understand the problem before any ideation can take place.
- Limited creativity: Many brainstorming activities focus on generating unique ideas or unconnected solutions to a problem. Creativity, however, is often achieved by elaborating on individual ideas by taking them apart and improving or changing one part at a time.
- Group-think: It's easy for groups to fixate on the first dominant idea that is expressed, reducing the production of additional ideas.
- Unequal contributions: Traditional brainstorming tends to favor outgoing, extroverted personalities. Without effective facilitation, the group may end up deferring to the most outspoken and animated participants while other participants contribute less to the discussion.
- Fear of judgement: Even with the guidance that "all ideas are valid", participants may feel the need to "perform" and only contribute ideas that they feel will be well perceived. The fear of contributing "bad ideas" can result in a counterproductive session. Studies have shown that critique and conflict can result in better and more imaginative ideas.
- Confusing next steps: Often, teams will come up with many ideas during a brainstorming session, but struggle with what to do with those ideas.
However, brainstorming doesn't have to be flawed. It's possible to structure brainstorming activities to maximize the value that you can get from both individual and group thinking. The following 5 step process can help you conduct better brainstorming sessions:
- Define Goals & State the Problem
- Stimulate Creativity
- Ideate Individually
- Share, Expand, and Critique
- Categorize and Synthesize

He was traveling from the San Francisco area to Chicago via Amtrak to eventually get to his son in Montreal, Canada.
Dowd's son last heard from him on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. Mountain time. Dowd said that he was just outside of Denver.
When the train arrived in Chicago, Dowd was no longer on it.
His luggage, cell phone and medication were found in his sleeping car. Amtrak officials think he may have gotten off the train during the night at one of the stops and perhaps was confused and didn't make it back onto the train.
The train stopped overnight along the corridor in: Fort Morgan and the Nebraska cities of McCook, Holdrege, Hastings, Lincoln and Omaha.
Police are investigating the possibility that Dowd spoke with conductors in Nebraska and seemed disoriented, thinking he was in an apartment instead of on a train.
Dowd is 5-foot-10, 175 pounds and has blue eyes and gary hair.
Anyone who has seen him is asked to call the Amtrak police at 800-331-0008 (case number 12-010695 or his family at (650) 766-6470 or (650) 766-6570.

A congressional hearing in search of answers on the Secret Service sex scandal happening today this Secret Service director mark Solomon.
Testifying before the senate homeland security committee apologizing.
For the agents alleged actions and stating that.
This type of behavior has never been condone senator Joseph Lieberman chairman of that committee just out at a hearing today senator nice to have in such a busy morning.
Thank you and good to be -- movement -- a little bit about this hearing in just a moment but I have to ask you -- this other big story today.
There -- reports that the White House the Pentagon.
And the CIA really gave some unprecedented access to Hollywood.
One of the most important raids.
In our history.
I will.
-- committee be holding a hearing on these reports.
Well I saw this statement to have my colleague and good friend and coworker -- Pete king chairman of the house homeland security committee report put out today.
And frankly it's a first ever heard about it they're very serious accusations I take them seriously.
Before I decided that our committee and the senate -- -- should do anything I want to talk to chairman king and house and see what he has in mind because we've worked.
Very closely together.
Right now there -- allegations.
But there's serious and congress little look at them seriously.
A fair -- and we'll we'll follow up with you on that to see how the story progresses new residents.
In national security is a parent and history and interest for for all Americans which is why bring up that other story is that part of the story today but -- -- Secret Service.
It's been reported.
And you know more than than the average Joseph but there's been reported that national security as well as the security of our officials were not compromise in what happened in Columbia.
So what do you hope to achieve through this hearing what forty need to learn and and and where does this go from here.
Right well director Sullivan testified today and I have no reason and I think I know -- two disagree with him.
That our national security was not compromised.
By the misconduct divisions.
-- -- -- -- but it -- been and in what way what are we worried about we're worried about.
A pattern of behavior -- somebody who would want to compromises security.
Of the president of the United States.
Would knowing that Secret Service agents are in town and and have a have a predilection to partying would.
And -- -- engage them and learn information.
About the president's.
Have third or schedules.
That could lead to danger to the president so.
The fact that it didn't happen.
And Cartagena Colombia doesn't lessen our concern about what what's gonna happen now is.
We're gonna continue our investigation we're gonna continue to oversee what the Secret Service is doing -- to investigate Colombia but also.
To put in place from new rules and procedures to make sure that this doesn't happen again and really significant today.
The inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security who also testified announce that he would now be conducting in response to a request.
His own independent investigation.
The scandal -- -- -- so that we now we'll have an inside investigation.
And an outside independent investigation not a -- best -- -- to do for the future either secrets.
You only have about a minute here but I was president's recommendations in new rules it would seem that it would be pretty obvious that this behavior is unacceptable and against the rules so as far as recommendations will there -- -- a Secret Service do you monitor the Secret Service how do you make that it would -- this changes in his new rules actually -- like.
You know I think diverted taken action to make sure that supervisors going a lot of these.

Exploring the islands and beaches of Paraty from a schooner, Relaxing in a pristine paradise
Discover one of Brazil's most untouched colonial towns. World Heritage site Paraty sits on a bay, surrounded by lush hills and countless islands and coves. Every day the streets closest to the sea flood with the tide—some residents boat to their doors! Charming and full of cafes, Paraty is not to be missed. Dive off the boat on an included schooner tour and learn more about the town's history as one of the country's greatest producers of fiery cachaça liquor.
