Rated 5 out of 5Â by Lowen GORGEOUS. Can we all take a minute to talk about how absolutely breathtaking this dress is? I went to an FP store today to buy a totally different dress (plaid maxi) and ended up buying this one as well. First, the details are impeccable, delicate and just beautiful. Just looking at it on the hanger, it's stunning. The fabric is great and has some give/stretch to it (which is awesome for my hips!). The store I went to only had a sz 0 and a sz 4. I am usually a 6, but decided to give the 4 a try. The only con about this amazing dress is putting it on. It's a bit of a challenge to put on by yourself with the delicate buttons running up the back all the way to the neck. But, wow, it was worth the work because it looked amazing. Not sure how I squeezed into the 4, but I did and it was just lovely. The price is a little higher than what I usually want to pay for a dress, but it's really well worth it for this one. The other reviewers mentioned she wore this for her wedding reception--and I would do the same. It's beautiful enough to get married in or wear at your reception. For sizing reference, I'm 5'3" 36C and 140lbs. I'm lean with a flat stomach and miraculously fit into a size 4 like a glove- 10.3.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by samthesham probably the best fitting dress ever! I bought this dress for my wedding reception and I must say it is well worth the price! I gave my measurements to an assistant at free people and they recommended a size for me. It fits perfect, looks great and the fabric(s) feel nice and comfy. P robably the best dress I've ever gotten! 9.13.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by GEL500 Lovely I love this dress! I bought it for my graduation, and it is gorgeous. I got a size up because that was what was in stock, but a few small alterations later it fits great and is really inique! The details in the fabric are beautiful, and so is the lace collar. Defiantly a favorite! 2.27.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ScienceGirl Work of Art I wish I had not waited so long to order this dress. The reviews on sizing were all over the place, so I went with my default size 8 in dresses. With dresses that are flowy in the lower body, I can usually get away with this even though I wear a 4 from the waist down. Unfortunately with this piece, the 8 was perfect for my 38" bustline/ 36 C cup size BUT the lower body was too large. Even with the bodycon aspect of the textured fabric, a 6 would have been the largest I could have worn. It was so hard to send this beauty back. The quality is incredible and the detailing is breathtaking. If I was better proportioned, I would never let go of this baby! 1.16.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by wickywacky Stunning Dress Very beautiful, I normally wear a 6, read the reviews and ordered an 8 and a 2 since the 6 was sold out. the 8 fit comfortably, no struggling to put it on. It is very detailed and just stunning. It has some stretch but since I sized up it doesnt' have to stretch that much. 12.22.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by rgk the victorian vixon dress it was stunningly beautiful and so well made with so much detail. however it was not true to size so I had to return it and order the next size. It was hard for me to detach myself from the dress since it had me in awe by its beauity. Free People please keep making dresses like this one please!!!!!! I love all of your cloths!!!! that is all I ever wear!!!!!! thankyou!!!!!! 11.20.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Luvin AMAZING DRESS! I first saw this dress in their fall catalogue and knew I had to have it. I bought a size 2 (I'm normally a size 2 or 0 because fp sizes tend to run large on me). When I got it in the mail, I was IN LOVE!! It's absolutely unique and the detailing is amazing. The price is a little hard to come to terms with, but I definitely don't regret it. If your thinking about buying this dress, don't debate too long because I see this one being back ordered if not out of stock completely. I still haven't worn it out yet, but I plan on wearing it to a rehearsal dinner. For reference I am 5 feet, 110 pounds 34 D and the size fit me perfectly. Also for those of you who have somewhat of a bigger chest, this dress is still very flattering despite the models body type. 10.12.2012

you make some good points, especially about crafting and the items.
this is just one of the reasons why i am confident that this will be more of a hybrid sandbox/theme park rather than strictly a sandbox game.
i personally don't have a problem with that as long as its implemented the right way.
i too am not a huge fan of raiding anymore since i did it in classic EQ and vanilla wow but if the game is that good and it builds a great community like EQ had, i would consider it just for the social aspect of it if nothing else.
The trouble with pure pve sandboxes.
You end up with a lorded elite having all the fun while everyone else ends up being a serf. You need pvp so you can have revoloution.
Also I agree with guy above, raid progression phat lewt endgame and sandbox go together like fish fingers and custard. They just won't mix.

If you like PvP then great I just don't think it's required in a sandbox game. I would be very surprised if EQN had forced PvP outside dedicated servers. I guess we'll have to wait and find out.
I hear wuurm is like that.

past interview that happened 5 days before SOE Live
RPS: That seems to be the trend with more systemic MMOs like that. Similar to EVE, where a lot of what ends up going into the game is shaped by the players. Is there where SOE's hoping MMOs are headed? To the point of shedding off archaic, grindy quests in favor of dynamic worlds? I mean, I see a bit of EVE in PlanetSide's structure, but what about in, say, EverQuest Next?
John Smedley: We are, as a company, embracing that. I don't talk a lot about EverQuest Next because we're not ready to yet, but I will say that you're going to see that times 20 in the next EverQuest. We're embracing that. That's the whole game. It's going to be a very, very different game than the original EverQuest or any other MMO ever made. In fact, we rebooted it. This is the third reboot of it. Users saw the first iteration… We trashed it. We said, "This is just too similar to other games." Then we did another iteration, and we said, "This is better," but we trashed that too. This time it stuck, because everybody in the company said, "Oh, yes, we want that."
RPS: SOE's Player Studio seems like an extension of that to me. Let players make their own new content. How far do you hope to expand that, though? Right now it's just objects in games like EverQuest and eventually PlanetSide. Would you ever like to see players creating their own missions and gametypes, though?
John Smedley: Stay tuned. The answer is yes, wholeheartedly. We have plans for that that go out a long way, and a game that is going to dominate because of that kind of stuff.
It's not just players making quests. Don't think of it just as Dungeons & Dragons. What we're actually building is the ability for players to put in systems. System-level stuff. We give them some rules, some basic simple rules, and they can make things out of whole cloth. They could build their own battlegrounds style of gameplay. That's what we want. What we have is an amazing infrastructure and ability to let players do new and emerging things.
We want them to… Not make their own fun. We're going to make our games amazingly fun. We want them to be able to make things we didn't think of fun. That's really what it is. I mentioned Hulkageddon, I love that in EVE. That's just players putting bounties on something. It's nothing. That's all it is. But that's as fun as anything in EVE. More fun if you ask me. It's amazingly fun.

ZAM interview
You'll be able to destroy, massive, massive parts of this world, almost all of it. You can light the forest on fire; we have ambition with this thing. We want it to be something where the world you log into, might not be the world you log into in five days.
What you saw in WoW's Cataclysm could take place because someone cast a spell that is powerful enough to do something major. We want it to be meaningful. And that's what we're building. It's actually what we've built, because we've got this now. It just isn't quite at the level where we're OK [to reveal it to the public]. We have a story that we want to tell for the announcement of it, we want it that you're seeing every aspect of the gameplay, we're one aspect short of that until we're ready to show, so we're close now."

I can see the rules just restricting the creativity to the context/lore of the game. I imagine a world where dungeons are user-created or (even better) user-created quests. Perhaps people who reach max level provide quests for items they may want in exchange for the plat they have accumulated over time. Keeps crafting/commerce active (which I also enjoy).
Still skeptical, but definitely curious and excited how this will turn out. Currently bored with the slew of current thumb-sucker MMOs.

Interesting thread, many thanks to Nadia for posting it.
I am admittedly skeptical because of past failures on SOE's part. I agree with another poster who said they already revealed that raids are present and we all know the rinse-repeat gameplay that entails, tossing in the word "Sandbox" only obfuscates the matter. For Smed to have any sort of credibility in the use of the word, he has to first define what he means when using it within the context of his project. He's unwilling to do that because like any politician on the campaign trail, history and unfolding truths boxes him in and may cost him (and his masters) the election.
While we can debate the subtlties of the terms "themepark" and "sandbox", and what constitutes the "correct" use of the word in question, they are polar opposites in philosophy. Defining what I understand as the core principles of those two philosophies in abbreviated/simplified terms are;
Build me a world where if I'm a outlaw, I become hunted by bounty seekers, if I'm a lord who clears a region to develop a holding and must defend it from monster and rival lords alike, where I can discover new spells, rituals, alchemy formulas and pursue forgotten lore to restore ancient powers to my use. In such a place I can assassinate key political figures and cause disturbances by that fact, a dragon can rampage and destory crops or be a (dangerous) ally, where gods answer prayers and demand appropriate sacrifices. Sometimes invasions of a unrelenting foe threatens factions that have been locked in conflict for generations and they have to agree to work together for a time, all the while looking out for a opportunity to emerge stronger than their ally of the moment will.
A game where the term "class" is but a loose definition of what you can expect of my abilities that have grown based upon what I choose them to be, all that and more, can be done in sandbox if the tools are there. Build a world like that and it'll endure game engine updates and people will subscribe to it for life. And yes, it can have quests, even "basic" ones for that is in fact, how our lives progress. We quest for that degree, job, mate, car, trophy, etc, but how we fail is as important as how we succeed, so far, no game has addressed that beyond not getting the goodies.
All of that requires the game to have a very deep and bug free design at launch, with a vast wealth of tools to give to players and a aggressive response mechanism to deal with bugs and any other game breaking flaws, not the least of which is coping with in game currency sellers. The world has to be very robust with a depth necessary to support all of that and that is exceptionally expensive. While its true SOE has a great wealth of resources and could indeed, do all of that, their history has shown repeatedly they are unwilling to do that. I may not regard Smed with much in the way of respect because of his politician persona, but to be fair, he can't deliver on anything if he doesn't get the funding to do it, and SOE is notoriously tight fisted.
Admittedly Nadia has succeeded in getting me to watch this development, but I regard it with a lot of skepticism because of the actors involved. In short, SOE would have to prove to me that the tiger has changed its stripes.
Even peace may be purchased at too high a price, and the only time you are completely safe is when you lie in the grave.

am i just lost, or is there no actual place holder for EQ Next on mmorpg.com game list yet?
i've checked through the game list, but didn't see it. i'm pretty tired and not throwing out the idea that i may have just missed it.
i see eq and eq2. is it just too early to make a sub section for it?

You can appease both player bases with rather little effort. It's not a stretch to say, for example, a Lord Nagafen raid would drop one Cloak of Flame for every, oh, eight hours he's alive, on average requiring about 30 people to slay the big, bad dude. You could also have master crafters who, given a whole absurd slew of materials and rare, but individually attainable, components could make the exact same Cloak of Flame. It isn't a serious stretch to say that both are possible - in fact, it makes more sense that both ARE possible, since Mr. Nagafen himself acquired the Cloaks of Flame from somewhere. That's the ultimate kind of sandbox; giving the opportunity to play the game the way you want to play it. Hell, you could even set up a quest for other players to get you the components you need, and as a result of their success you give them a certain amount of your own platinum and the game gives them a bit of an experience boost relative to the difficulty of the attainment - sort of like an NPC bounty system set by the players, for the players.
The reason why UO was the first quality MMO was because it was a world based almost entirely off of a sandbox - you could be an immensely powerful and wealthy individual without ever putting a sword in your hand. The reason why EQ became the standard was because it was the ultimate PvM sandbox. You could create a Dark Elf Shadowknight, level up to 50 partially by way of slaying your own guards repeatedly, and become the best friend of the halflings while having your friend run and by your Shadowknight spells. Oh, and if you ever wanted to train again, you had to do the exact same grind the other way - I know this to be true, because I did exactly that. EQ also had the 'all for one, one for all' mentality of building friendships and fighting a common enemy to acquire untold riches and treasure, a formula that is still the key component of MMO's to this day. The only unfortunate part of that is now the questgivers have exclamation points marked on the map and floating above their head, taking away from the immersion and adding to the hand-holding.
I truly believe that most people would be happy with a graphically updated version of the original EverQuest. If they add any of the pseudo-sandbox elements they've been discussing while still giving us the core elements of EQ - the player trading, the overall difficulty, the requisite world exploration (save the staggered zones - no one's against a seamless world), this game will be a rousing success. Which is great, because Norrath is still the best modern fantasy world ever made, and more people should get the opportunity to experience it.

To answer your question nope, none at all, but people on here are suckers for a , 'supposed', MMO savior, (all previous sins are forgiven when you overhype your next game).
While anyone can poke holes in grandoise talking and how Smed sounds just like Mythic before WAR, or ANET before GW2, I think it's best to wait and see what they have to show before we can really say anything positive/negative.
Personally I don't have any faith in SOE, or Smed, and it's a bad idea to start hyping something and then say, 'oh we'll have footage next year', (so whats the point in mentioning it, without anything to show? People will just forget about it). However in this case I'd happily be proven wrong if they have something worthwhile brewing...

I'm 99% sure that EQNext will not have PVP at it's forefront, no way in hell is EQNext going to be built around PVP. Yes we will get an updated PVP system but make no mistake that EQNext will be a PVE game at it's core.
On top of that people should not take Smed use of the sandbox word as literal , EQNext will be a hybrid MMO IMO.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Clarke Duncan, the hulking, prolific character actor whose dozens of films included an Oscar-nominated performance as a death row inmate in "The Green Mile" and such other box office hits as "Armageddon," ''Planet of the Apes" and "Kung Fu Panda," is dead at age 54.
Clarke died Monday morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he was being treated for a heart attack, said his fiancée, Reverend Omarosa Manigault, in a statement released by publicist Joy Fehily.
The muscular, 6-foot-4 Duncan, a former bodyguard who turned to acting in his 30s, "suffered a myocardial infarction on July 13 and never fully recovered," the statement said. "Manigault is grateful for all of your prayers and asks for privacy at this time. Celebrations of his life, both private and public, will be announced at a later date."
In the spring of 2012, Clarke had appeared in a video for PETA, the animal rights organization, in which he spoke of how much better he felt since becoming a vegetarian three years earlier.
"I cleared out my refrigerator, about $5,000 worth of meat," he said. "I'm a lot healthier than I was when I was eating meat."
Duncan had a handful of minor roles before "The Green Mile" brought him an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor. The 1999 film, based on the Stephen King novel of the same name, starred Tom Hanks as a corrections officer at a penitentiary in the 1930s. Duncan played John Coffey, a convicted murderer with a surprisingly gentle demeanor and extraordinary healing powers.
Duncan's performance caught on with critics and moviegoers and he quickly became a favorite in Hollywood, appearing in several films a year. He owed some of his good fortune to Bruce Willis, who recommended Duncan for "The Green Mile" after the two appeared together in "Armageddon." Clarke would work with Willis again in "Breakfast of Champions," ''The Whole Nine Yards" and "Sin City."
His industrial-sized build was suited for everything from superhero films ("Daredevil") to comedy ("Talledega Nights," ''School for Scoundrels"). His gravelly baritone alone was good enough for several animated movies, including, "Kung Fu Panda," ''Delgo" and "Brother Bear." Among Clarke's television credits: "The Apprentice," ''The Finder," ''Two and a Half Men" and "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody."
Born in Chicago in 1957, Duncan was raised by a single mother whose resistance to his playing football led to his deciding he wanted to become an actor. But when his mother became ill, he dropped out of college, Alcorn State University, and worked as a ditch digger and bouncer to support her. By his mid-20s, he was in Los Angeles, where he looked for acting parts and became a bodyguard for Will Smith, Jamie Foxx and other stars. The murder of rapper Notorious B.I.G., for whom Duncan had been hired to protect before switching assignments, led him to quit his job and pursue acting full-time.
Early film and television credits, when he was usually cast as a bodyguard or bouncer, included "Bulworth," ''A Night at the Roxbury" and "The Players Club."

Brot confesses to Natalia, Ryan doesn't like labels, Greenlee fears being alone, and Krystal and Liza commiserate.
Natalia surprises Brot at the station. She wonders what he's working on so late. He responds, "My resignation letter." She can't understand why he would want to do this, but knows something has been bothering him for awhile. He says he can't keep lying. He can't be a cop anymore because he can't pretend he's on the right side of the law. Brot confesses his involvement in Jesse switching babies. He doesn't care about his job. He just wants to make it right. He says this isn't the first time he's made a bad call that cost people. In Iraq, he switched shifts with someone but his friend died during his shift. He wonders why it had to be his friend, who had a family, and not him. Natalia assures him it wasn't his fault. Natalia is grateful Brot was there for Jesse so he didn't have to grieve for Ellie alone. He asks if any of this will make her stop loving him. She tells him she could never stop loving him. They head home where they make love.
Jake enters ConFusion at closing time and finds Ryan, who was wired after the David mess and didn't want to keep Greenlee awake. Jake congratulates him on nailing David, who has been arrested. Jake calls him a hero. Ryan doesn't understand why people label him that. Jake reminds him that he rescues people, but Ryan only sees it as looking out for people. Jake bemoans being labeled Joe Martin Jr. because it's a lot to live up to, especially being a great husband and father. Ryan starts thinking about his own father, who was nothing like Joe. He wants to be completely present with Greenlee and his kids. He says they have to put the past behind them and move on. They toast to dumping the baggage.
Jake goes home and curls up in bed with Amanda.
Greenlee drops by Kendall's as their men give their statements to the cops about David. Greenlee was restless at home and wanted to share her idea for Fusion with Kendall. She wants to create a computer program to help women see what they will look like in the future and provide products to help them fix what they don't like and accentuate what they do. Kendall loves it, but she doesn't want to neglect her family for work right now. Kendall suggests Greenlee go someplace romantic with Ryan and forget everything else for awhile. Greenlee doesn't want to forget everything else. Kendall wonders what's got her so spooked. Greenlee admits she felt alone when she came up with her idea when no one was home with her. She recalls feeling that way growing up and worries that while she has Ryan now, he could be gone tomorrow. Kendall assures her she won't lose Ryan, but after pretending that Ryan was dying, Greenlee realized that someone could take him from her at any moment. Kendall consoles her. Ryan shows up and says Zach is probably still at the station. Greenlee hugs Kendall and tells her she loves her. Kendall returns the sentiment.
Scott finds Colby packing at the mansion. He can't believe how empty the house is after years of it being so vibrant. Scott offers the gatehouse if she wants to move in there. She appreciates it but she's hoping things work out for him and Madison. He is hopeful, saying they're in a new place now. Colby is staying with Liza for now because at least she's there, which is more than she can say about her dad. She can't believe Adam didn't show up after she called about JR's latest meltdown. Scott tells her they have to protect themselves now because they are the new generation of Chandlers. No matter what happens, they won't lose each other.
When Krystal can't sleep at home, she heads to the restaurant. Liza stops by when she sees the light on. Krystal lets her in even though they're closed.

Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Pharmamom Must Break In When I first put these on they felt great. I wore them to work where I walk and stand semi-frequently. By about lunch time my feet were very sore around the toe area, close to where the bone beside my big toe is. There is a lot of rubbing in that area. I am working on breaking these in. With the price of these and as much as I want to wear them, I'll get them broken in. October 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by QueenCaroline Most comfortable wedge ever made This is certainly the most comfortable wedge I've ever worn. The elastic is perfect and makes for just the right size and fit. There's no issues with it slipping off if you keep to your true size. As soon as I bought these, I went and looked up every Caroline style Tory Burch I could find. I am proud to own them in many colors and now I can't wear anything else. These are great for working on your feet all day or scurrying around an airport. Perfect find!! May 13, 2013

Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
Hey, are we prophesying or is it biblical speculation, from current events
There's a big difference, on the one hand, between Bible provoked speculations and interpretations, even attempting to read the daily news and Scripture as interacting aspects of the same thing and, on the other hand, actual prophecy. God wants us all to prophecy. It is an aspect of the new man in promise, a foretaste of what being born of God will mean. Prophecy is not Bible interpretation. Scripture says of itself that what is put on stone, what is ink on paper, that is the Old Covenant. The New Covenant is written on the fleshy tables of our hearts and minds by the Holy Ghost. So the Books explained or the Spirit's quickening, this is the choice. I know there's sort of a false dichotomy here; but, the high road needs to be recognized and committed to, not to the exclusion of the other, but to the determination of what will mark our lives.
It seems Molly and the Islamic leaders are on the same page.(or pages)
...3 The voice of the Lord is heard over the waters.The God of glory thunders.The Lord thunders over the mighty waters.4 The voice of the Lord is powerful.The voice of the Lord is majestic.5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedar trees.The Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon into pieces.6 He makes the mountains of Lebanon skip like a calf.He makes Mount Hermon jump like a young wild ox.7 The voice of the Lord strikeswith flashes of lightning.8 The voice of the Lord shakes the desert.The Lord shakes the Desert of Kadesh.9 The voice of the Lord twists the oak trees.It strips the forests bare.And in his temple everyone cries out, "Glory!"--Psa 29Mount Hermon (Arabic: جبل الشيخ / ALA-LC: Jabal al-Shaykh / "Mountain of the Chief"; Hebrew: הר חרמון, Har Hermon, "Mount Hermon") is a mountain cluster in the Anti-Lebanon mountain range.

Here you go, Doug, work on these lines, you forgot about them:5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedar trees.The Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon into pieces.7 The voice of the Lord strikeswith flashes of lightning.8 The voice of the Lord shakes the desert.The Lord shakes the Desert of Kadesh.9 The voice of the Lord twists the oak trees.It strips the forests bare.I decided it was time to pay Israel's enemies back.The year for me to set my people free had come.

Topic: Europa League picks 17/3
Manchester City vs Din. Kiev
Manchester City lost the first leg 2-0 in Ukraine and they face a battle against Dinamo Kiev in the second. I believe it will be close.
Under 2.5 goals.
PSG vs Benfica
Paris St Germain lost 2-1 in the first leg and I believe they could struggle in the second leg as well. The French side must attack and that will open it up for Benfica.
Over 2.5 goals.
Sp. Moscow vs Ajax
Spartak Moscow on 1-0 in Holland and I believe the Dutch side will struggle in Russia against this side.
Sp. Moscow win.
Zenit vs Twente
Twente won 3-0 at home in the first leg and Zenit will be desperate to attack in this one. Should be an entertaining game.
Over 2.5 goals.
FC Porto vs CSKA Moscow
FC Porto won the first leg 0-1 in Russia and I believe the Portuguese giants will be able to win this one at home as well.
FC Porto win.
Liverpool vs Braga
Liverpool lost 1-0 in Portugal against Braga in the first leg, but I expect the Reds to have no problems winning at Anfield.
Liverpool win with 0-1 handicap.
Rangers vs PSV
Rangers managed a goalless draw with PSV in Holland and I believe the Scottish giants will be able to win this one at Ibrox.
Rangers win.
Villarreal vs Leverkusen
Villarreal impressed with a 2-3 win in the first leg and I expect the Spanish side to win the second leg as well.
Villarreal win.

Maia, Others Refining 'Shogun'
Here's my reply to the, we are working on taking him down. Yes, he has the versatile, which Liddell lacks, but if they are going into this fight working on taking him down, I think its a bad idea.Mauricio "Shogun" Rua has adopted a new approach and surrounded himself with an all-star cast of trainers as he prepares for one of the most significant fights of his career.
Once considered the world's premier 205-pound competitor, the Brazilian gunner will face former light heavyweight champion and future hall of famer Chuck Liddell in the co-main event at UFC 97 "Redemption" on April 18 at the Bell Centre in Montreal.
"This time, I'm doing 100 percent of my preparation in Sao Paulo, [Brazil]," Rua said. "Here, I'm 100 percent focused on training; my life here is a routine, and I'm training three times a day."
Rua (17-3) -- who owns wins against Quinton "Rampage Jackson, Alistair Overeem (twice) and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira -- was not happy with his performance against Mark Coleman at UFC 93 in January. He picked up the first UFC victory of his career when he stopped the 44-year-old on third-round strikes but appeared lethargic through much of the fight and struggled to put away Coleman.
"Against Coleman I wasn't this focused," Rua said. "Maybe [it was] because I was at home [in Curitiba, Brazil,] with my family and I was a little relaxed. Here, I have more motivation."
In advance of his battle against Liddell, Rua has enlisted the help of four top trainers. He invited one of the most respected men in Brazil, Sergio Cunha, to serve as his head coach. In an effort to sharpen his jiu-jitsu, he brought in middleweight contender Demian Maia, who has submitted all five of his opponents inside the Octagon. In addition, Rua hired Eric Haddad, one of the top professionals in the Sao Paulo area, to improve his much maligned conditioning. Leaving no stone unturned, he also welcomed Renato Roma, a five-time national freestyle wrestling champion, into his camp.
Maia stepped in at the request of Wanderlei Silva, one of Rua's longtime mentors.
"I opened my academy to his training," Maia said. "Cunha is taking very good care of his training. Shogun is such a talented guy. He's already in nice shape. Four weeks later, he will really be in his best shape, and it will be really hard for Liddell to beat him."
Marcelo Alonso/Sherdog.com
Sergio Cunha, Maurico "Shogun"
Rua and Renato Roma.
Cunha, who has known Rua since he was 15, was vacationing in Curitiba when he received an invitation to join the 2005 Pride middleweight grand prix winner.
"Actually, I was working with B.J. Penn in Hawaii, but I came to Curitiba on vacation and to see my family, and he invited me to help him for this fight," Cunha said. "Once B.J. was [between fights], I immediately accepted [the invitation] to help him."
Considered one of the most technical products of the Chute Boxe Academy's second generation team, Cunha has been impressed with Rua's dedication to the UFC 97 bout.
"He knows it will be the fight of his life and is training really hard," he said. "I'm really impressed with his physical and technical evolution in five weeks."
Rua and his team have also put in the necessary work away from the gym. They have studied his UFC 71 technical knockout loss to Jackson and his most recent setback, a devastating knockout defeat to reigning light heavyweight king Rashad Evans at UFC 88 in September.
"We're watching a lot of Liddell's fights," Cunha said. "Rashad had a good strategy, working on the counterpunching, and Quinton had it completely different, going on top of him, but Mauricio is more versatile and is working everything he can. We're working on the possibility of taking this fight to the ground and working on the ground-and-pound or jiu-jitsu, since he's 12 years younger than Liddell."
Cunha wants all the bases covered.
"The most important thing is that he gets there well prepared with no injures," he said. "The fans will see the Shogun that he was at Pride."
Roma, who has spent the last month honing Rua's wrestling game, believes Liddell (21-6) will have a hard time at UFC 97.
"His wrestling skills are evolving a lot," Roma said. "People use to say that Liddell couldn't be taken down. Yes, he can, and you will see that in this fight."
Though he remains confident in his ability, Rua also has great respect for his opponent.
"Liddell is a guy who deserves all respect as a top fighter," he said, "but I see myself victorious in this fight."
I don't think Liddell will be worried about the Jiu Jitsu game at all. He faced several of them. But heres what i say. if Shogun can actually use his versatile, he may be able to shoot in deep for a takedown, but then again, IF he gets down, he's going to get right back up. It's an interesting fight, great fight for both, and I love it.

9 am - 5 pm
Do you notice inner critics that judge you harshly?
Do you believe that inner critics keep you from finding contentment?
Is it possible for inner critics to calm down?
Many of us do our best to keep inner critics away, or we try to get rid of them and find that this simply doesn't work. No matter what we do, they keep trying to get our attention. Maybe they have another message that we need to pay attention to.
With the use of mindfulness and Zen meditation, participants will be offered ways to stop, recognize and listen as we practice new ways to relate to recurring thoughts and emotional patterns of critical self-judgment. We may find that these harsh voices are pointing to our innermost desires for safety, love and wholeness. We will practice relating to inner critic voices, cultivating our natural ability to listen in a field of calmness and compassion.
Deeply listening to self-critics and learning to engage with them with friendly creativity will start the transformational process of developing self-acceptance and self-compassion. This process leads to a kinder, more compassionate attitude toward ourselves.
This workshop meets the
criteria for several health-care professional designations and is appropriate for both new and experienced meditators.*

UNIONVILLE - Five Yadkin County grapplers punched their ticket to the 2A State Wrestling Championships this week at the Greensboro Coliseum.
Starmount's Sergio Sarinana, Michael Wood and Garrett Stokes will join Forbush's Storm Long and Dylan Edwards at the state championships Thursday in Greensboro.
The five wrestlers qualified with top-four performances at the 2A Midwest Regional Saturday in Unionville.
Sarinana placed fourth in the 152-pound bracket as the No. 5 seed for the Rams.
After winning his two first matches, Sarinana dropped a 4-0 decision to top-seeded Austin Collins from North Surry. The senior rebounded with a 7-3 win in the consolation bracket before falling to Wilkes Central's Dylan Adams in the third-place match.
Wood followed with a fourth-place finish at 182 pounds despite entering the regional as the second seed.
The senior opened with two dominating wins before dropping a tough 12-9 decision to No. 3 Levi Slate from North Surry. Wood bounced back with a pin in the consolation semifinals before losing a second-straight medal match to an Ashe County wrestler to finish fourth.
Stokes rounded out Starmount's qualifiers with an unlikely and thrilling run to the silver medal at Saturday's regional.
The sophomore came into the tournament unranked and upset three-straight wrestlers to advance to the finals. Stokes battled past the sixth, third and second seeds to punch his ticket.
In the finals, Stokes' luck ran out and fell to top-ranked Jacob Comer from Central Davidson.
Long became the first of two Falcons to qualify for states with a fourth-place finish in the 126 pound bracket.
The junior recorded back-to-back pins in his first matches to reach the semifinals. In the match, Long lost a heart-breaker to top-seeded Cody Walker from Cuthbertson to head to the consolation bracket.
Long won his third match of the day with another pin, but dropped a tough 2-0 decision in the consolation finals to finish fourth.
Edwards rounded out Yadkin County's qualifiers when he placed fourth at 195 pounds.
The junior advanced to the semifinals before falling to third-seeded Bryce Braswell (Piedmont) 4-3 to drop to the consolation bracket. Edwards punched his ticket to the medal match with a win in the semis, but lost 8-5 to finish fourth.
The five wrestlers will start their run at an individual championship Thursday night at the Greensboro Coliseum. Wrestlimg opens at 6:30 p.m.

Combined BA-MA Program
Combined Bachelors/Masters Degree
Qualified undergraduate students are encouraged to apply for the combined Bachelors/Masters program at Kent State University. To enroll in this program, students must first apply and be accepted to the M.A. program according to the same regulations listed above. Once accepted, in consultation with the Graduate Coordinator, students may identify up to 12 graduate level (50000-level or above) credit hours that the student may enroll in before graduating with his/her Bachelors degree. These 12 hours will then count towards both the Bachelors and the Masters degrees.
To qualify for application to the B.A./M.A. program, undergraduates must meet one of the following criteria: 60 credit hours with a GPA of at least 3.50, 75 credit hours with a GPA of at least 3.40, 90 credit hours with a GPA of at least 3.30, or 105 credit hours with a GPA of at least 3.20.
For students that enroll in the combined bachelors/masters program, timelines are adjusted. As it is typical for B.A./M.A. students to spend one year in the combined program, these timelines are then shortened by one semester relative to the date of their full entry into the M.A. program (i.e. following graduation with a B.A. degree). That is, an advisor should be picked by the 6th week of the first semester following full entry into the M.A. program, and a thesis proposal must be defended by the 6th week of the second semester. In cases where coursework makes meeting these deadlines difficult, an extension may be granted by the Graduate Coordinator if supported by the graduate faculty.

FCC looking into ban on unlocking on-contract iPhones and other phones
The FCC is going to look into the ban on unlocking phones. The ban, which came into effect on January 26 of this year, made it illegal to unlock an on-contract device for use on another carrier. Citing concerns over innovations, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said that the commission would be looking into the matter. According to TechCrunch:
Genachowski isn't sure what authority he has, but if he finds any, given the tone of the conversation, it's likely he will exert his influence to reverse the decision. "It's something that we will look at at the FCC to see if we can and should enable consumers to use unlocked phones."
The illegality of unlocking phones benefits carriers by keeping you locked into your contract. Of course, you can still pay an early termination fee, but now you have to get a new device when you move to a new carrier. This increases the hassle of the switching process, which carriers already make as hard as possible. Expect the carriers to fight back, because anything that makes it even a little easier for a customer to take their money elsewhere is a threat to their bottom line.
Are you glad that the FCC is investigating? Have you ever unlocked or considered unlocking your phone?

FCC looking into ban on unlocking on-contract iPhones and other phones
I'm considering it right now. I just bought a iPhone from someone that works with my wife and it's reduced to an iPod Touch because it's locked down.
I have in the past. But since "unlocking" has traditionally only been technically possible on two major carriers under FCC oversight anyway, I think this is more about perception. Unless/until people can port the phone itself on/off Verizon and Sprint as well as AT&T and T-Mobile, it"s a non-issue to half the country.
Yes! Unlocking should be legal. I unlocked several phones.
I am glad that the FCC is investigating this but I feel like when you pay a lower price for your phone then you are basically leasing the phone so you don't have any rights. If you want freedom then buy the unlocked phone directly from Apple and then you don't have a contract. Look at the new TMobile plans you get a low cost iPhone but pay payments every month. Even with an unlocked phone it has special components to work on a specific network so it still can't be changed from one to the other.

Summerville Medical Center to boost emergency care, other services for kids
With the start of 2013, Summerville Medical Center (SMC) moves forward with pivotal upgrades to the places children receive care within the hospital. By mid-summer, a 4,000-square-foot addition to the Emergency Department, and a 3,500-square-foot unit on the second-floor, both dedicated to pediatrics, will be ready for children up to 17 years old.
Rooms will have child-friendly artwork, colors and lighting as well as features like TVs and gaming systems to make it easier for young patients to pass the time. Likewise, equipment will be right-sized, and supplies will be age appropriate.
At the same time, the hospital is devoting more resources to training and staffing for pediatric services. That includes having a pediatrician immediately available at the hospital (a pediatric hospitalist) 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"We have given much consideration to how we care for kids in this community," says the hospital's CEO Lou Caputo. "We recognize that you care for kids differently than you care for adults."
The investment makes good sense, given the striking increase of families in the greater community and the preference they already show in choosing SMC. Children receive treatment at the Summerville hospital around 20,000 times a year, with half of those visits taking place in the Emergency Department.
The planned Emergency Department addition includes extra entrance bays, allowing children to be kept separate from adult patients from the time they arrive. "When kids come into the Emergency Department, they are going to take a different track than the adults," Caputo says.
The new inpatient pediatric unit also will be set off from rooms for adult patients and will be grouped on the second floor with women's services and the nursery. It will include a communal play area, where children can spend time with family members or child life specialists, and a procedure room for distressing situations such as shots and IV placement. That way, the child's room remains a "safe haven" for healing.
Planned changes came out of a steering committee that involved emergency medicine and pediatric specialists as well as many others. Committee members also traveled to community hospitals in other parts of the country to study successful pediatric service lines. "Our community deserves great care for children, here close to home," Caputo says.

Hi Michael,
I was working on transferring my website to the live environment and thought it would be a good idea to test everything once more before opening the new site for the public. While testing the Nice PayPal Download Extension, I noticed that I am receiving about 8 or 9 success messages per purchase by email. (First few messages arrive every minute, later the there is a larger delay)
As I thought it could have to do something with the fact that I copied my site from one location to the other, I checked the settings of the site, uninstalled the Nice PayPal Download Extension and reinstalled an reconfigured it again. Unfortunately the new tests showed the same result.
I have the idea that somehow the communication between PayPal and the extension is not going smoothly. I switched on the IPN-log to check that and noticed that I keep on receiving IPN-messages.
Funny thing is that I didn't have this issue on the development server. Have you got any idea what might be causing this?
Hope we can fix this soon.

The nation's oldest aircraft carrier museum, the USS Yorktown (CV-10) is turning 70 and Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum is inviting everyone to join in on the celebration. On Sunday, April 14, Patriots Point will host a "Tribute to the Yorktown," complete with a full day of activities, programs and fun for the whole family.
Throughout the day, the museum will provide visitors with a unique opportunity to walk in the steps of the men who served aboard this historic ship. An expanded open cockpit Sunday will provide access to even more aircraft on display and living history programs will give visitors a chance to meet and interact with sailors who served aboard the ship. At 2 p.m., the Charleston Community Band will perform in Hangar Bay III aboard the USS Yorktown, along with several musical groups throughout the day. These special programs are free with purchase of regular admission.
At 7 p.m. that evening, the party will kick off with performances by Charleston jazz icons Lonnie Hamilton, III and Ann Caldwell, followed by a very special USO-style show hosted by Brad and Jennifer Moranz. Food and beverages will be available for purchase while guests dance under the stars to music from World War II. Tickets for this special evening are $22 and can be purchased on the Patriots Point website: www.patriotspoint.org.
"For 70 years, the USS Yorktown has left an indelible mark on all those who walk her decks," said Patriots Point Executive Director Mac Burdette. "She turned boys into men during times of war and peace. Ordinary citizens became heroes, and courage was an everyday occurrence. Today, she leaves visitors today with a greater appreciation for, and understanding of, the sacrifices of those who came before them."
"Our celebration will honor 'The Fighting Lady's' platinum anniversary by bringing her to life through educational and living history programs, as well as unforgettable musical performances that evening," Burdette continued. "The USS Yorktown is more than just a Lowcountry landmark, she's a national treasure. We hope everyone will join us on April 14 to celebrate her 70 years of service to our country."
The USS Yorktown (CV -10) was one of 24 Essex-class carriers built during World War II for the United States Navy. Built in just 16.5 months, Yorktown was commissioned on April 15, 1943. Named after the American Revolutionary War's Battle of Yorktown, she is the fourth U.S. Navy ship to bear the name. Initially named Bon Homme Richard, she was renamed Yorktown while under construction to commemorate the USS Yorktown (CV-5), which was sunk during the epic Battle of Midway in June 1942. Like its namesake, the USS Yorktown (CV-10) was sponsored by Eleanor Roosevelt.
The Yorktown was modified twice at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (SCB-27A 1951-53 and SCB-125 in 1955). Yorktown's service spanned three decades and included participation in WWII and the Vietnam War. The ship also recovered the Apollo 8 astronauts and capsule in December, 1968. In 1974, the Navy approved the donation of the Yorktown to Patriots Point and the ship was towed from Bayonne, N.J., to Mount Pleasant to become the nation's first aircraft carrier museum.

After adding an option to edit locations, Google Maps allows people to add places. The option seems to work only for the US and you can enter few details about the local business or the place: address, name, phone, website and category. Google promises that "once you save your place, the whole world can find your addition by searching for it within a few minutes."
To find this feature, go to Google Maps, search for an address (e.g.: Madison Ave, NY) and you'll see a new option in the left sidebar: "Can't find what you're looking for? Add a place to the map."
You can also edit the details from existing listings and even remove places from the map. Among the possible reasons why you could delete a place you can find: the listing is a duplicate, the place doesn't exist, it is permanently closed or it's not of general interest. While business listings are changed almost instantly after you edit them, they can be removed only if someone from Google accepts your removal request. Each local listing can have a status like "Added", "Edited", "Removal requested" and the changes history is available to everyone.
Until now, only business owners could add places, using Google's Local Business Center. "We gather business information from numerous websites, Yellow Pages directories, and other sources to populate Google Maps search results. If you'd like to be included, you can easily enter your information into our online Local Business Center for free. (...) Once you've submitted your business information, you'll need to verify the listing before it goes live. You can verify using a touch-tone phone, SMS, or a PIN that will be sent via regular mail to your business address. Once the listing is verified, your information will normally appear in our results within six weeks," explains Google.
It's great to trust your users, but the places added using the new feature should be verified to make sure they are real. Turning Google Maps has a lot of practical advantages and could be used to keep the geographical information up-to-date.
Update: Google says you can edit places from the US, Australia and New Zealand.

Hi all.
I wasn't really sure where to post this, but I had read some similar posts in this forum, so I figured it was worth a try. Sorry for the length of this post. I have a lot to get off my chest.
I've always had health-related anxiety. Over the years, I'm sure that I've diagnosed myself with hundreds of different conditions, and I've always been incorrect. Except this time...I feel very lucky with the timing and how everything worked out, but it is still terrifying to me to think of how ill I was.
I'm 29, and this was my first pregnancy. When I was 26 weeks, my blood pressure had started to spike periodically. Not going above 140/90, but higher than it should be in the second trimester. I wasn't put on blood pressure medications, and the word "preeclampsia" was very foreign to me. I was aware of it, but I think I failed to grasp the seriousness. Considering my anxiety, I'm actually glad I didn't find this forum until a little further along in my pregnancy. I was monitoring my own blood pressure with a monitor someone had given me, and at 29 weeks, my blood pressure was up around 170/110 and was not coming down. I went to labor and delivery, they confirmed that bp was very high and not coming down. I was started on mag, hydralazine and was airlifted to a more specialized hospital with a higher level NICU.
My experience at that hospital was terrifying, although again, I feel so lucky to have been surrounded by specialists who recognized everything that was happening to me. I got steroid injections and was started on labetalol. Ultrasound showed that while my dopplers were still okay, our baby was only in the 6th percentile for her size. (I was told that my uterus was measuring small prior to the ultrasound). This was supportive of IUGR. After 4 days, my blood pressure was sky-high again (180/116), I was experiencing wracking back pains, and my blood work was showing the beginnings of HELLP. They tried to induce me, but even with minor cramping, Lucy's heart rate would drop. She was delivered at exactly 30 weeks via emergency c-section, and weighed 2 lbs 9 oz. I developed pulmonary edema in the 24 hours postpartum, which resolved with lasix. Otherwise, things seemed okay.
My blood pressure was "okay" after delivery. Everyone kept assuring me that birth was the cure and my blood pressure would regulate. 3 days postpartum I was back in the ICU with crummy blood work, pressures of 200/113, and bleeding from my heparin injection sites. My incision was bruised and swollen. 1 week postpartum my incision broke open due to a large hematoma, which soaked through my jeans and sweatshirt. I suspect this was likely due to the HELLP and my drop in platelets.
I was discharge with blood pressure of around 140-150/85-95. The doctors told me they were comfortable with blood pressure under 160/106. I knew I would monitor myself very closely, and I was desperate to get out of the hospital at that point. I was discharged on 30 mg Procardia XL every 12 hours and 300 mg labetalol every 8 hours. My pressures were 120s/80s at home, and 130/80s at the doctor's office. I was told I would be on that dose of medication for 6 weeks at which point they would start weaning me.
For the most part, my pressures were okay after discharge, with the exception of spikes of 140-150/90-100. Generally, these spikes were short-lived. I am OBSESSIVE about measuring my blood pressure. I am terrified I am going to miss something. I was so anxious during those 6 weeks postpartum, waiting for the other shoe to drop and have PE rear it's ugly head again. And I kept waiting for my pressures to just start dropping like everyone assured me they would, and it wasn't happening!!!
I'm now 7 weeks postpartum. My pressures at home can be anywhere between 114/69 to 147/97. Generally they are "normal", but I still have those high blood pressure spikes!!!! My doctor thinks I am ridiculous, and is starting to wean me off my meds, because at his office my pressures are 130/70-80. Sometimes I think his nurse isn't measuring my pressure correctly. I complain about certain things, but I really think he is dismissing me because he thinks I'm hypersensitive. He thinks I need to relax, stop monitoring my pressures at home and "let him drive" to quote him directly. He also repeatedly tells me that "I'm young and my body wants to heal." SCREAM! My pressures still aren't great, I've still got edema around my ankles (which he tells me isn't that bad), I develop tightness in my chest and a cough periodically, I get migraines (that are unrelated to blood pressure spikes). My skin feels crawly and sensitive, and I still can't get my wedding rings on. My blood work is perfect, I'm not spilling protein, but other than that, nobody seems to give a hoot about my symptoms or my pressures. I think I'm just supposed to sit back, relax and let go of the intense anxiety that plagues me. Because I'm young, and my body wants to heal. From where I'm standing, it's not really acting like it wants to heal. I'm scared to do anything because I'm afraid I'll start to "feel" my pressure rising. I'm driving my husband insane with my constant monitoring. I'm driving myself insane by worrying about every little twinge and weirdness.
Is my body so damaged that I'll never be normal again? I feel like at these dosages I should be passing out from low blood pressure. I know I'm probably a chronic. I have no idea what my pressures were before pregnancy. I'm tired of all these other symptoms. I just want my body back. Is this all normal? I need some serious encouragement.
As far as my daughter goes, she is now 4 lbs 11 oz, and is doing very well, all things considered. We have been moved back to our home hospital, and while she still needs her feeding tube and still has dips/desats, we are really happy with how she's progressing. She's a real brightspot.
Thanks so much for your help and support.

Last night on Fox Sports Live, UFC president Dana White said that if Wanderlei Silva was healthy and accepted the offer to fight Chael Sonnen, it would be the co-main event of UFC 167: GSP vs. Hendricks. According to White, Silva will not fight Sonnen unless he receives PPV points. Via MMA Fighting:
Silva hasn't fought since KOing Brian Stann in a memorable main event in Japan in March. His feud with Sonnen has been well documented, but no actual fight has ever been officially made. This is as close as we've come to an actual agreement, but for the time being this fight is on hold. I can't say I can ever recall Silva bringing up PPV points in the past so this would be a first."[Silva] said he won't fight him unless he gets PPV [points] so I guess he's gonna retire," White wrote via text message.
When asked what he plans on doing with Sonnen next, White wrote, "we will figure it out."
There's also been plenty of buzz over a potential Chael Sonnen/Vitor Belfort clash, but with Belfort fighting Dan Henderson in November it certainly makes things interesting as far as who Chael will fight next. The UFC could push hard on Wanderlei to fight Sonnen anyway, or give Sonnen a contender type fight at 185 or 205 against the likes of Phil Davis, Rashad Evans, Ronaldo Souza (if he beats Yushin Okami), etc. We've got ourselves another "wait and see" game on our hands as Sonnen awaits his next opponent.

Hello Everyone !!
An update for me... I have made it to 28 weeks TODAY!!
Yesterday I had a horrible scare and wanted to share with you and hopefully get some imput.
I went in to work at 9am just as usual. For breakfast I had some mango juice and 2 eggo waffles ( nothing out of the ordinary) the waffles were plain with no syrup or butter.
At about 10am I started feeling kind of ill. I felt really weak and tired and maybe a bit nauseated.
Then I started to feel my heartbeating pretty fast. I could feel it in my chest very easily. I started to feel short of breath and my chest was very tight.
I took my pulse and my pulse was about 126 . I had been sitting for over an hour and there was no reason it should have been so high. Usualy my pulse is 86.
So I called my doctor and he said come in immediately. When I got there he rushed me to the back and took my pulse it was 128. and he could tell I was having trouble catching my breath. he took my bp and it was 139/80 which was kind of strange in itself because my diastolic pressure was quite low from where it usually is.
The did an EKG and monitored me to make sure my pulse didnt go any higher and it started going down on its own after about 30 minutes from when it first started at work.
My doctor sent me to a cardiologist who is going to do a heart ultrasound on me on Monday the 15th to check my valves etc.
My question is this.....
Since this episode yesterday my blood pressure has been very low... we are talking 110/55
I know this may sound normal for some of you but I have never had a bp that low and the lowest I have had a bp reading since i was 5 weeks pregnant was 130/78
do you think my bp being so low has anything to do with what the doctors are calling SVT ( what they think I had ) and with my bp reading so much lower than what it normally is, do you think the baby is lacking oxygen?
Has anyone else had their heart race during their 3rd trimester?
What about shortness of breath even when just talking?
I cant even talk without getting short of breath anymore.

Comments about Honest Kitchen Beams Chews:
I think this product is great and I did not find the smell bad at all (but I love sushi and eat it all the time) the only reason I took one star off is because my shih tzu did not like them! I would still recommend them, I guess it is just a matter of taste :)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
