Crunchy221, something that turned you off was the constant travelling back and forth to complete quests for the Empire faction in the starting area. Something that will help with this is a new feature being implemented in Patch 3.0.2 coming on May 30th. The feature is Automove. How it works is you have your quests and all you do is open an interface that allows you to click on your quest which will automatically move your character to the location where the quest needs to be fulfilled. Please do not view this as a feature for lazy travel but rather a method to help one multitask by focusing on other tasks. It also addresses the concern you had so hopefully you check out Allods again and see how questing feels with the Automove feature. =)

Them honey badgers
Yea same to me I have been in 2 guilds most of em quit before, and after the Gipat patch. What turns me off is the Cash shop items like runes and etc.. plus the grind. those made me almost quit. The last but not least reason is when people keep bother you about the gear you wear so I quit for this reason too. I had lots of fun with my friends and speically my cousin, when I saw them quitting I said to myself thats it game is over.
As long as the grind and the P2W style there I wont come back to the game even if you give me awesome items and stuff. I might pay for customizable items that it wont make a player above the others then I will back gladly otherwise I wont even think of caming back.
the last 2 reasons of quiting are my mage kept glitched in the ground when using Flash skill and that made feel sick about it. Random disconnecting from the server when playing plus my wall of flame kept bugging out when doing heroics and I had to relog to fix the problem and no it isn't lag.
Astral was fun to do early days but after Gipat lost intreast and quit eventually. heroic and pvp was fun because I didn't care about dying or challanging other player from the same lvl becuase it was gear driven game not that cash shop system.
at the end I kept telling my guild it will end just like any F2P title out there but nobody listen and that make me hate myself when I am right about something.
anyway I do not think you can save your game becuase in time it will die, and new and more advanced game will appear, so getting back to the game is just a waste of time and investment, hence ( guild war 2 and Elder scrolls..etc)
and NO iam not trolling but taking a fun game beyond (( shit )) I do not like it.
I greatly enjoy the leveling experience of Allods now. I am in love with Auto move, as I can actually do other things with my time while traversing from quest to quest, which really gives me a sense that my time isn't being totally drained by an mmo. I love the Magpie Feather - I have a scout with ranged attacks increased by 30%, and I've put a little into building up my runes, so I am melting down mobs before I even see them, and I find having a bird fly out and retrieve all the loot allows me to just keep humming along. The best part of Allods to me is the ruby system. I'm a huge fan of tweaking characters skill points, talents, etc., so to have a three tiered system of tree, rubies and runes is like a wet dream for me, especially with my experience doubled via the game shop buff. I'm leveling so fast that it feels like I'm constantly engaged in the activity of adding skills and rubies, etc. Now that we have unlimited tree/ruby resets until level 15, it's a beautiful thing. As a casual player (I own a business and have an infant son) I greatly appreciate being able to make substantial progress and be suitably entertained by Allods, while not feeling like it's draining time from more important things. I played WoW for 7 years, then got really into Darkfall, most recently Swtor - and out of all those games, Allods is the only one that currently does the trick for me. I actually would still play Darkfall just for the brutally unforgiving/realistic pvp elements ( <3 ), but I can't access my account and their customer service is non-existent, so my only choice is to purchase the game again and start from scratch, no thank you. But back to Allods: I'm not sure exactly what happened over the past few weeks, but this game has transformed, and with it my level of engagement has sky rocketed.

Why is it that fantasy trolls are vulnerable to fire, but internet trolls thrive on flame wars?
I participated in the beta and loved it, but when the FOD and cash shop patches hit, I left.
I played an Orc warrior the entire way and even tried an Arisen summoner for a while. Playing as both was a blast, perhaps more so with the Arisen than with the Orc.
Of course, once the FOD patch was fixed and the charms that were in the cash shop became free, I tried playing again, and went up to the first forced PvP area, and then I quit again, probably for good.
That is probably my biggest gripe about the game: forced PvP. The issues with FOD and the cash shop have been fixed, but forced PvP areas? No thanks!
Since when is Tuesday a direction?

If you want to avoid ANY PvP at all, like ever, then this game might not be for you. You can PvE only but in some zones you can get flagged for PvP, be it by Warbanner or enemy faction mobs.
You'll have to go out of your way to truly avoid PvP alltogether and you'll probably nerf yourself somewhat in the process.

I don't see anything on the support forum that could even remotely resemble anything like what you're describing. IF you got stuck on some error, how can you even know what the game is like? How many days have you been waiting for a reply from customer suppport?

2. I do not currently play. My main was level 6 or so when I stopped. I stopped at the time, still in beta, due to a few things still seeming unfinished (no background music, some sound effects seemed a bit glitchy, etc.) so I was gonna wait till launch to get back into it. Then when it launched, before I could try it again, the store pricing and mandatory death debuff removal purchases controversy hit and I've kinda been hesitant to try it out again. Then I simply forgot about it until I saw your post.
3. I can't say since I haven't really played far into it.
4. I didn't get far but I loved the character creation options and the quality of the characters.
5. Never visited.
6. No
7. I've never participated in any.

10-cent fee for shopping bags eyedBy BETH GARBITELLI
The Associated Press | February 24,2014MONTPELIER Vermont would require that retailers charge shoppers a 10-cent fee for disposable carrier bags in an attempt to streamline waste management and cut down on litter under a bill being debated in the Legislature, but not all businesses support the measure.
State Sen. Robert Hartwell, chairman of the Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Energy, introduced the bill this session and discussed details with his committee Friday.
The fee would be imposed on paper, plastic and other single-use-material bags from retail establishments but wouldnt apply to produce bags, prescription drug bags, newspaper sleeves, dry cleaning bags and some packaged multi-bags.
Vermont is one of eight states considering a statewide fee or tax per bag, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Major cities including Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., and more than 100 other municipalities have enacted bans or fees for bags, according to Surfrider Foundation, a California-based ocean conservation nonprofit.
In Vermont, most of the fee would funnel into the states waste management fund, with businesses retaining a processing fee of 1 cent for each dime collected.
Hartwell, a Democrat from Dorset, said reducing bags would make waste management easier and cut down on a petroleum-based product. But he said he was also motivated by reducing the eyesore of bags floating around streets across the state.
When you see plastic bags as litter, its a little different its hanging out of a tree, its stuck on a guardrail, its on somebodys car, Hartwell said. It has a different kind of impact.
Hartwell said lawyers will review the penalty provision in the bill as well as any issues surrounding the inclusion of paper bags.
Liz Walsh, co-owner of the Montpelier art supply shop The Drawing Board, said she supports reducing plastic bag use but wasnt sure a fee was the right direction, especially since customers might balk.
Were the ones who have to be on the front end of that, Walsh said. She also wondered what the fee would mean for products such as custom frames that need to be wrapped in packaging.
The Drawing Board and other local stores are part of an initiative called Bag That Bag that encourages customers to use reusable bags by donating to a nickel to charity if they do. Walsh said the store has seen less plastic bag use since joining the program.
Bob Sager, owner of Bobs Camera and Video in Barre, wanted to see more details before he judged the fee.
Vermonts very forward-thinking on recycling and whatnot, which is a good thing, Sager said. He hoped to see more information on where the money would go and how merchants statewide would apply the fee to consumers.
Hartwell hopes the bill will pass out of his committee as early as next week.MORE IN This Just InBy Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli Full StoryBennington College and Middlebury College both top a list for most entrepreneurial colleges in...

World Series of Fighting President Ray Sefo is reconsidering his position of welterweight free agent Rousimar Palhares (15-5).
After initially telling MMAWeekly.com that he wasnt keen on bringing the submission ace to his promotions ranks, Sefo today admitted hes currently reevaluating his position and could potentially make Palhares an offer.
Initially, Ill admit I didnt think World Series of Fighting should even entertain the idea of bring Palhares on board, Sefo told MMAjunkie. But Ive been speaking with our team, as well as some people I trust throughout the industry, and Im not so sure he doesnt deserve another chance.
We havent made any concrete decisions just yet, but I think maybe Palhares could be a valuable part of our organization.
Sefo said hes had some initial talks with Palhares manager, Alex Davis, but declined to divulge just how far those conversations had progressed. However, he said it was actually a recent MMA Hour interview with MMA legend Renzo Gracie that first encouraged him to take a second look at Toquinho, who was released from the UFC following an October win over Mike Pierce in Brazil in which Palhares appeared to hold on to a heel hook even after his opponent tapped out and the referee tried to break the lock.
I really didnt think he held it too long, Gracie said. You have to understand, especially heel hooks, it is a finishing hold that you can lose at any time. He can lose the position at any time, and the next thing youll see the guy is going to claim that he didnt tap and everything is gone. So he really needs to add intensity on it. Unfortunately, people saw it with poor eyes.
Thats an MMA match, man. The reality, intensity is the name of the game, so you have to allow things like that to go. Some submissions will be held a little longer. Thats going to happen. If I could, every submission I did, I would hold a little longer.
Sefo, a Hall of Fame kickboxer, said that statement encouraged him to reconsider his stance, and after speaking with a few trusted resources, he thinks an offer may soon follow.
I was a little outraged at first, just like a lot of people were, Sefo said. But I think Renzo explained it very well, and it opened my eyes. I dont think Palhares is a bad human being, and his skills as a fighter are undeniable. Im starting to think he could potentially be a nice addition to our roster.

A:Yes, this can be used as a body lotion if you choose you'd like to try it! Most of the ingredients in our Fair Trade Foot Lotion has mostly natural ingredients, with a few added safe synthetics, but it can be used on your body. The ingredients themselves do work the best with ones feet so that's why we have it as a foot lotion!Answered on 11/28/2013 by Anonymous

refreshing to all the skin and very relaxing after a hot bath... The
emollients contained within this cream are very nourishing to all dry

as well.. You will enjoy using it that way.. I do!Answered on 10/22/2013 by Anonymous

Q:Should I refrigerate this? I heard it has fresh ingredients.Asked on 10/22/2012 by Rachel

A:No, the Fair Trade Foot Lotion does not require refrigeration and is fine kept at room temperature. The only products from LUSH that need to be kept refrigerated are the Fresh Face Masks that are only available in stores. You'll find these at your local LUSH store in their refrigerated section.Answered on 11/2/2012 by Megan from LUSH

Keep in mind glove size and it's effect on Jds' power/speed/accuracy. Those bigger gloves move slower and are way easier to block so your accuracy becomes far more important. I just don't see a pro boxing match against a top boxer going well for any mma fighter. Conversely, mma guys will continue to crush boxers in mma bouts.
Plus, Jds' head is a fucking punching bag in the standup for a good combination puncher....ask Cain.

Shade grown, certified organic, and Fair Trade. Grown in the Segovia region of Nicaragua by members of PRODECOOP, a cooperative of over 2000 families. This is a good clean coffee with a decent body and a sweet finish with mild chocolate and vanilla tones. The aroma of the Segovia hints at a mild cherry toned fruit character and has a hint of nutty flavor and caramel syrup sweetness. PRODECOOP was established in 1993 to promote organic farming techniques, integrated systems of production, conservation of natural resources, and economic diversification among its members.The co-op remains committed to producing coffee of the highest quality. In 2004, co-op members participated in the Nicaraguan cupping competition, The Cup of Excellence, in which the co-op was awarded five of the top ten quality awards. We recommend a medium to dark French roast.

The Beech Hill Elementary School fifth grade boys reached an important milestone in their young lives during the annual "Tied To Brightness" event held March 8 in the school cafeteria.
Fathers, grandfathers, mentors, and other distinguished guests and role models, such as members of the Tuskegee Airman, enjoyed breakfast with the youngsters and helped them try on a new item of menswear, a necktie.
"Tied to Brightness" is a special event Beech Hill Elementary does every year for its fifth grade boys. The idea, says Principal Renee Harris, is to connect with the fifth grade boy, celebrate their accomplishments at BHES, and give them an opportunity to enjoy a personal rite of passage in their lives.
The receiving of a necktie by each fifth grade boy marks a symbolic benchmark in his life as he moves closer to becoming a young man, she said.
Fathers, mentors, and their sons and charges agreed.
"I think it's a very special event," noted Mark Osowski as he helped son Bryan tie his new necktie. "I think it's pretty uncommon to be able to do this, I think it's important, and I think a lot of people miss the opportunity."
Bryan said he enjoyed the event.
"It's a wonderful event and it's good family time," he said.
In years past, the boys chose from a stock of donated neckties in a wide variety of styles and colors. This year, for the first time, each fifth grade boy received an official monogrammed BHES necktie, done in BHES colors, donated by BHES business partners Dr. Roland Fulcher and Scott Mongillo. Dena Sellers from Ashley Ridge High School monogrammed the ties.
Teachers, staff, and PTA volunteers served breakfast to the boys and their mentors.
Guest Speaker Rob Fowler, Chief Meteorologist of Storm Team 2, shared with the group how he always knew he liked weather and was able to achieve the dream of being a television meteorologist.
"If you have a dream, if you have a goal, you can reach it," Fowler said. "It's not easy, it is hard work, and your personal appearance is important – and how you dress is part of that. This may seem like something trivial, but it's not. You're learning something that you can take forward in your life."
Fowler than encouraged the students to go for their dreams but also noted that they should look for opportunities to help others as well.
Mirrors around the room were soon occupied as youngsters – with the help of dads and mentors – put on their ties for the first time.
The boys and the mentors also recited special pledges. The boys pledged to stand ready and willing to learn from their mentors and to always strive for their personal best.
The mentors, in turn, pledged to stand ready to support the youngsters as they continue to grow, learn, and develop.
"I have very much enjoyed today," DD2 Superintendent Joe Pye said. "It's my first time attending and I'm so glad to take part in this event. Schools teach a lot more than just reading, writing, and arithmetic these days – this is one of many ways we try to give our kids leadership skills and opportunities. The more, and the earlier, we can do that, the better prepared they will be."

What is it with people getting stuck on sky-high carnival rides?
Last month, two people were rescued from a stalled Ferris wheel in Myrtle Beach. The riders called 9-1-1 when they were left cooling their heels on high at the Family Kingdom Amusement Park. They were rescued without injury.
On the left coast, a roller coaster stalled 150 feet above ground, stranding a dozen riders at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. The Superman Ultimate Flight roller coaster stopped at the very top of the ride. Rescuers used a bucket crane to deliver water to the riders. A park mechanic eventually restarted the ride, which went backward and lowered the riders safely to the ground.
Also in Cali, firefighters used a 100-foot aerial ladder to retrieve 10 people stranded on a double-decker Ferris wheel in Hollywood. The ride was set up for the premiere of "Toy Story 3." (Theres irony in there somewhere.) The strandees were 85 feet up in open-air seats that were rocking to and fro.
Rocking to and fro? Id have begged the other passengers to braid their hair like Rapunzel so I could shimmy down like a monkey.
Oh, who am I kidding? Id have curled up in the fetal position, covered my eyes and gibbered like an idiot.
I have adult-onset fear of heights. As a child I climbed tall pine trees without fear, and fell out of a few, too. On vacation at the Outer Banks, I trudged to the top of a lighthouse and looked out at a view that spread for miles across the ocean and barrier isles. It was exhilarating.
Today, Id black out.
I wish I knew what made the fearwhich starts in my stomach and ends when I lose the power of speechset in, but like my frog phobia, it remains a mystery.
The first time I realized something had changed was during a roller coaster ride at Busch Gardens. I hopped aboard without a qualm. But when our car reached the apex of the first hill, about six stories high, I looked down and just about died.
I was so scared I clamped my eyes shut and began drooling. Then I started screaming hysterically. When the ride ended I couldnt walk. Tres embarrassment!
Years later, at the North Carolina State Fair, my then-husband talked me into riding the Ferris wheel. Youll be fine, he said. Being an idiot, I agreed. Ten seconds after it started, I put my hands over my face and started mumbling. He said it sounded like, Hummana, hummana, hummana.
Open your eyes, he coaxed. I did. Then I shrieked and started peeling his shirt off. Maybe I wanted to put it over my eyes to block the view. Who knows? Unfortunately it was a collared pullover, so by the time the ride stopped Id almost strangled him to death.
The first time I went to Las Vegas with Widdle, he wanted to show me Hoover Dam. After a nice tour we reached the observation area where, to my horror, the only thing between us and the waters far below was a simple four-foot barrier. I shrank back against the gift shop wall and refused to move. Come closer, its a beautiful view, Widdle said, holding out his hand.
Hummana hummana hummana, I replied. Id be there still, if he hadnt gently led me down the stairs to safety.
On the subject of heights, my father used to say, I prefer terra firma. And the more firma, the less terra. Ha! Ha! Ha! He liked to incorporate Latin into his puns, which explains a lot about my sense of humor.
But now, I know exactly what he means.

Execution warrant sought for Ariz death row inmate
PHOENIX -- Arizona prosecutors are seeking an execution warrant for a prison inmate who's been on death row since 1985 for the murder of a Bisbee man.
The Arizona Supreme Court is scheduled to consider the motion on Jan. 8.
Attorneys for 70-year-old Edward Harold Schad say the state's high court should deny the execution warrant request or at least delay ruling on it.
They say Schad still has a motion for a rehearing of his case before the U.S. Supreme Court and there still are questions about the constitutionality of Arizona's lethal injection procedure.
Schad was convicted in the killing of 74-year-old Lorimer ``Leroy'' Graves, whose strangled body was found south of Prescott on Aug. 9, 1978.
Schad was arrested in New York a month later, driving the victim's new car.

A decade after his first DAYTONA 500 victory, Dale Earnhardt Jr. returned to Gatorade Victory Lane in a thrilling finish to the 56th annual DAYTONA 500 on Sunday at Daytona International Speedway.
Daytona International Speedway has a number of unique qualities: Steep banking, great sightlines. Most unusual? There is a lake in the middle of the infield.
The Spirit of Goodyear will make its final flight this Sunday here at the Daytona 500.
Imagine being able to ride around NASCAR's most famous tracks. Fans can pay about $140 for three laps. And as John found out, it's the ride of a lifetime.
Austin Dillon put the famed No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet on the pole for the 56th annual DAYTONA 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 23.
The early part of the week here at the Daytona International Speedway is expected to be perfect. Local meteorologists are calling for the possibility of storms on Friday and Saturday with a spotty chance of rain for race on Sunday.
Singer, songwriter Aloe Blacc will perform the National Anthem prior to the 56th annual DAYTONA 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race
The Daytona International Speedway is in the midst of a massive renovation project called Daytona Rising.
NASCAR teams have moved their base of operation to Daytona, Florida for the busiest two week stretch of their season. The main component for each team is their slick, 18 wheel hauler.
Each year there are eight weekends of racing at the speedway
Since it opened in 1959, the raceway has undergone several renovations
The two and a half mile trioval has banking up to 31 degrees.
Daytona International Speedway took two years to build and opened in 1959.
Fans can walk on a fan deck and view the track and garage activity. They can also watch race teams working in the garage.
The first Sprint Cup series practice session here at Daytona International Speedway was cut short yesterday due to a violent crash near the start/finish line.
Yesterday marked the 13th anniversary of Dale Earnhardt's crash here that cost his life in 2001. A statue of the Intimidator greets visitors at the Daytona USA museum on the grounds here and it was a frequently visited spot yesterday where some fans brought their flowers in remembrance of the NASCAR legend.
Monday was a memorable day at Daytona. And while the drivers may have been off the track, that wasn't the case for everyone. The Richard Petty Driving School has a setup here and I was able to ride in a Generation Five car for three laps.
Welcome from Daytona International Speedway. I covered my first NASCAR race in 1987 at Watkins Glen. Must confess, I didn't know much about the sport, but quickly got hooked mainly because of the great television it provided with the breathtaking sights and sounds.

Rush Limbaugh: Gay marriage 'inevitable'
Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh believes gay marriage is now "inevitable."
"This issue is lost. I don't care what the Supreme Court does. This is inevitable. And it's inevitable because we lost the language on this," he said on today's radio show. "As far as I'm concerned, once we started talking about gay marriage, traditional marriage, opposite-sex marriage, same-sex marriage, hetero marriage, we lost. It was over."
The New Yorker's Jeffrey Toobin makes a similar argument here, albeit from a different point on the ideological spectrum, and the always insightful Sasha Issenberg tackles the pro-gay marriage "inevitability campaign" here.
(WATCH: POLITICO Roundtable: How GOP really wants SCOTUS to rule on gay marriage)

Thanks to John at Transylvanian Dutch who originated the Amanuensis Monday meme, providing a framework (and nudge) for transcribing family records, news clippings and other treasures.
This is another transcription of a document from the papers of Maria Lee Palmer Smith (1844-1931), my husband's great-grandmother. It is her obituary, a newspaper clipping with no date or newspaper title, though a date is handwritten on the clipping.
______ [handwritten note: Feb 6th 1931]
Was Member of Prominent Virginia Family; Ill For Short Time
Mrs. Maria Lee Palmer Smith, wife of the late Dr. Francis Fenwick Smith, for many years an eminent physician of Western Maryland, died Sunday morning at 3 o'clock at the Frederick City hospital, where she was removed Friday evening, after suffering a stroke of paralysis. Of distinguished colonial ancestry, Mrs. Smith was born at the family seat, "Clifton," in Northumberland county, Virginia, on March 9, 1844. Her father was Col. James Armstead Palmer, a descendant of Nagethereza Palmer, Esq., a large Virginia landowner of colonial days. Her mother was Margaret Meredith from whose colonial ancestor the family had a grant of land in Virginia dating from 1655. Mrs. Smith's father, Col. Palmer, died while she and her brother were still children, and the family came to this city, and Mrs. Palmer entered her daughter in the Convent of the Visitation from which she was graduated in July 1861. From this time until her death, she was closely associated with and a devoted alumna of the convent and was emeritus for life of the Alumnae Association. While at school in Frederick the Palmer family always returned to their Virginia estate for the summer vacation and many were Mrs. Smith's experiences during the Civil War when her home place was one day in the hands of the Confederates and the next day occupied by Union soldiers. She had many thrilling adventures, one of the most interesting of which was when she ran the blockade.
Mrs. Smith married Dr. Francis Fenwick Smith and from this union five sons were born. They were Charles Leonard, Charles Francis, John Francis, William Meredith and Edward Joseph, of whom four grew to manhood. Dr. Smith, together with his brother, the late Dr. Charles Francis Smith, were exponents of the practice of medicine of a generation ago when the family physician was felt to be a true member of the family.
Her husband, Dr. F. F. Smith, died August 26, 1900, and after the marriage of her sons, Mrs. Smith sold the family home on East Second street and made her home with her son Dr. William M. Smith, College Park. Later she removed to No. 9, East Second street where she was stricken Friday night. She was a devoted member of St. John's Catholic church and an ardent member of Fitzhugh Lee Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy and one of the founders of the Frederick County Historical Society. She was historian for life of Fitzhugh Lee Chapter, U.D.C.
The funeral will take place from St. Johns' Catholic church Tuesday morning at 9:30 o'clock with interment in St. John's Catholic church cemetery. M. R. Etchison and Son, funeral directors.
The handwritten date may be in error. Maria Lee Palmer Smith died Sunday, February 1, 1931. Assuming she was buried the following Tuesday, the notice would have appeared in one of the Sunday afternoon or Monday (Feb. 2 or 3, 1931) newspapers in Frederick, MD.
She was indeed descended from Nargaltherezer Palmer, though I'm not certain I would describe him has a large landowner by Virginia plantation standards. While I have yet to identify which ancestor received the 1655 land grant referenced, several of her mother's family lines were established in Virginia at that point.

Question about painful workout...
A workout i do to help strengthen my calves is regular jogging, but on the tip of my toes so it emphasizes my calves. The problem is that, i don't normally feel the pain on the day i do it, and usually i only do that for 2 laps, but the day after, my muscles in my calves are COMPLETELY aching. I literally have to walk flat footed without using any muscles in my calves it hurts so much. Try it out if you don't believe me. What i wanna know is, is this safe? I know for sure it's definitely just my muscles were so worked out that it is really sore but is it safe to do this. Is there anything i should be concerned about?
Style: Striking/Grappling/Poking3
Of course it's fucking safe. It's called Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS), and it happens to all motherfuckers who train hard. It's most intense when you have just started doing a particular kind of workout and your muscles aren't used to it and ****. ie it should decrease the more you do the exercise.
The bigger problem is that you jog on the tip of your toes to strengthen your calves. You need to read a motherfucking book or get a workout guidance from somebody. Why do you want to strengthen your calves in particular? Why do you think jogging will do this? If you're going to be anything other than a runner, I would sooner recommend plyometrics like box jumps and ****.
Also, are you jogging on the fucking road? Careful how hard you hit that ****, motherfuckers jumping up and down on asphalt is some high impact **** that can stress the knees and whatnot.
To conclude:
1. Calm the **** down.
2. Educate yourself on what exercises do what so you don't spend a lot of time doing useless ****.Originally Posted by Goju - joe
Question you're a moron.
Ragingstorm, yes it's fine and normal. If you're not sore the next day, you didn't work a specific muscle hard enough. (a few exceptions here, such as rotator cuffs, ankles)
You are basically running "barefoot" style. Many studies show it's a healthier way to run than a traditional running gait with normal shoes.
Your calves should get used to it after a while, and when they do, run farther so you keep pushing yourself to improve.
Style: Striking/Grappling/Poking1
Also: can we get to the part where you tell him that jogging is a low intensity slow twitch muscle fibre using exercise (Soleus) and you need to do exercises that work in those explosive fast twitch muscle fibres (gastrocnemius). Because that **** is fucking crucial.
In one of his other threads he said he is wants to fight in K-1. Which fibres you want more of?
Motherfucking box jumps son. Don't sleep on plyometrics.
And no need to motherfucking thank me, I'm just doing my part to cure ignorance on the internets.Originally Posted by Goju - joe
Just google barefoot running. There's a lot of interesting info about it. Personally, if I was going to run, which I don't because I think it is a fruitless endeavour, I would do barefoot running. Except I'd wear those barely there shoes because glass is a bitch on the soles of your feet.GET A RED BELT OR DIE TRYIN'.

Sprinters run on the balls of their feet. The concept that you will hold that form for distance is kind of insane.
The portion of the minimalist footwear movement I am familiar with usually follows pose or chi running (mostly these are crossfit boys and girls) and both of these approaches advocate a more mid-foot strike.
Long story short, Question has the correct. You want stronger calves? Box Jumps. And if you do it right that **** will hurt.
I have EXTREMELY high arches and the heel to front foot strikes KILL my heels. That's why I said "personally" and "if".GET A RED BELT OR DIE TRYIN'.

I believe the ************ said that [you will be sore if you worked hard], not that [once you feel pain your session was effective]. And the ************ is right where strength and **** is concerned. Muscle breaks down and remodels, and that **** hurts somewhat. While you can improve your technical ability without feeling pain and soreness, it is unlikely that you will improve the effectiveness of your muscles without accompanying soreness. Because they must remodel, the theory goes. Do you follow what the **** I'm saying?Originally Posted by Goju - joe

Hannah Manzi, a student at Academic Magnet and a vegetarian, strives to make healthy eating choices. So buying the school lunch in the cafeteria hasnt been an option for her for a while.
This fall she decided to see if she could change that. For her senior thesis, she worked with the cafeteria staff, the head of Charleston County School District Food Services and Dr. Ann Kulze to devise a plan to implement healthy lunch choices at her school.
She created a new cafeteria lunch menu to sell to students once a week for six weeks. One day each week she set up build your own food bars. Different choices were offered each week and varied from salad and burritos to sweet potatoes and pasta. A yogurt bar was included also. Students had multiple choices for toppings, sauces and dressings.
Dr. Kulze helped her with recipes and ideas on what items to serve. She worked with Walter Campbell, head of CCSD Food Services to order, prepare, cut up and cook the food. The school cafeteria manager and staff also assisted in preparing the food.
The sweet potato bar included items such as asparagus, cinnamon, honey and brown sugar. The salad bar contained option like Romaine lettuce, mesclun greens, black beans, sunflower seeds, carrots, croutons, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, Mandarin oranges and a choice of healthy dressings.
She named her lunch venture Happy Belly Foods, and approximately 450 students were served. The once-a week healthy lunch option averaged 76 customers a week.
Well use Hannahs research on what kids like as far as healthy food choices go as we roll out new lunch choices from school to school next year, Campbell said. The district food services is testing entire new menus for next year. Students really want a salad bar. We learned that from Hannahs research. They will be serving Salanova lettuce, a very nutritious lettuce locally grown by Jimmy Cobb at his farm in Reevesville.
Hannahs project created a lot of buzz. It showed us what students will buy, Campbell added. Even if a students only buys the school lunch once a week, its good.
Helping others
The majority of the food was purchased through Charleston County School District (CCSD) Food Services, and a profit of around $1,000 resulted from the project. When Campbell learned that Manzi was going to donate any profits she made from selling the food, he donated the cost of the food, making it possible for Hannah to give a check to Crisis Ministries. This charity focuses on easing hunger in the Lowcountry and is also looking to offer healthier choices.
There are a lot of tongs to this fork,said Judith Peterson, principal of Academic Magnet High School. What these theses are meant to do is to connect kids to the real world through research and betterment.

Davison and Liedkie Earn 'Firsts'

HAMBURG, NY – Rookie Jonathan Davison {in photo to right} scored his first collegiate goal as the Hilbert Hawks moved into the win column with their 1-0 decision over Alfred University September 11. The Hawks outshot the Saxons by one (11-10) and withstood an aggressive attack by the visitors to hold on and stay strong in their victory. Hilbert's Paul Liedkie earned his first collegiate shutout in goal.
The first half was all Hilbert as they were the aggressors, outshooting Alfred 5-1. Davison snuck one past Jacob Bird in the 39th minute which gave Hilbert confidence to finish the half. After a goalie change by the Saxons at intermission, and a stronger offense effort, Alfred played even the rest of the way. Hilbert focused on double coverage and did not allow open looks for the visitors. James Knapp and Michael Gee were impressive on the back line shutting downs Alfred's forwards. Mario Williams had a few good looks late in the game that could have padded the score for Hilbert.
Up next for the Hawks is a Sunday, September 16th match up against Penn State Beaver. Remember, the Buffalo Bills have a home game but who are you kidding, we will see you here! The women's game starts at 12 noon.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

"Anderson is someone I don't want to fight," Souza said. "He's someone who's in my camp; he's my friend. He helps me, and I help him. So I wouldn't be a good character if I said I wanted to fight him.
"But, I'm a UFC fighter, and I hope the UFC never gives us this fight, but I'm ready to face anyone in the world in my weight class, and also at 205."
Light heavyweight would, of course, provide a wealth of new options for Souza, who's made his biggest strides at 185 pounds. And the scenario posed at the media gathering may never materialize if Weidman is able to defend his belt. But it does create another potential situation such as the one at supercamp American Kickboxing Academy, where teammates refuse to fight one another.
That situation caused UFC President Dana White plenty of headaches.
Souza, though, remains positive about his future in the promotion.
"I've not complained, because I've done two very quick fights," he said. "The UFC already gave me very strong opponents, and I like this opponent very much. And I tell you, I'm ready for anyone. I'm not going to ask for any opponents. I'm going to go to camp and train and be ready to face any opponent, because I'm an employee who loves to work."
The Brazilian's first task is to recover from a foot injury he suffered early in the bout with Okami.
"I think it was when I gave him a front kick," Souza said. "I think it hit his elbow and it hurt my toe, and it really hurt a lot. But I focused, I forgot the pain, and I was able to do a great fight."

However, many others choose careers not directly related to their subject but where there is the opportunity to use their language skills, for example working for companies who trade or offer services internationally or to non-English speaking customers and suppliers. This means that language graduates work for a huge variety of employers and sectors, including:
Studying a language clearly makes you a communicator, both orally and in writing. Additional skills gained through a language degree include the ability to:
Spending a year abroad during your degree helps you develop cultural awareness, adapt to new and changing surroundings, and to work both in a team and independently. These skills have value in a job market that is becoming increasingly global and are appreciated by employers, whatever career you go into.
Some modern language graduates decide to pursue further study in order to gain a postgraduate qualification in interpreting or translating. Although knowledge and ability are the essential prerequisites, further study is often a real asset for these careers. Some employers prefer candidates with professionally accredited postgraduate qualifications.
You can also choose to specialise in an area of language study that interested you during your undergraduate degree, for example European studies.
Some graduates choose to study abroad in order to increase their chances of getting an international career.
As modern language graduates pursue a wide range of careers, further study or training in subjects such as marketing, finance, business, IT and journalism are also popular, and for some careers, such as law and teaching, essential.
For more information on further study and to find a course that interests you, see Masters degrees and search postgraduate courses.
Almost two-thirds of modern languages graduates enter employment within six months of graduation. Popular areas of work include translating, writing, advertising and marketing, personnel and HR, sales accounts and business development management, business sales, and finance and investment analysis and advice.
Just under a quarter of modern language graduates go on to further study or combine work with further study. Some specialise in a particular area of language, such as translation or interpreting, while others take the opportunity to broaden their options and move into other career areas.

Affidavit: Pak shot woman twice before killing coupleThe Portland Press Herald | December 31,2012Susan Johnson had been shot twice, once in the arm and once in the back, and tried to hide behind a Christmas tree and play dead as her landlord kept shooting on Saturday, according to police.
Her landlord, James Pak, had come into her apartment at 17 Sokokis Road in Biddeford and threatened to shoot her, but she didn't take him seriously until it was too late, according to an affidavit filed by police seeking his arrest.
Pak then went on to fatally shoot Johnson's son, Derrick Thompson, 19, and his girlfriend, Alivia Welch, 18, police said. Both died of gunshot wounds to the chest, according to the state Medical Examiner's Office.
Pak, 74, who moved to Maine about six years ago from Rutland, Vt., appeared in York County Superior Court on Monday to face two counts of murder. He appeared before Justice Paul Fritzsche with his attorney Joel Vincent.
He was not required to enter a plea. If convicted, Pak faces 25 years to life in prison.
Police revealed earlier today that Pak had to be disabled with a Taser when they took him into custody Saturday night.
Biddeford Police Chief Roger Beaupre said that following a three-hour negotiation with a Biddeford officer, Pak agreed to leave his house. He told the negotiator that he would bring the gun with him, and was told not to. When he emerged from the house, he refused to comply with officers' commands and they could not be sure he was unarmed.
Pak walked from the house down the driveway with his hands in his pockets and refused to take them out, Beaupre said. He then turned as if to walk back to the house and a nearby officer disabled him with a Taser. It was the first discharge of the electronic stun devices since the department acquired them in October, Beaupre said.
Johnson survived and was escorted from the apartment to a waiting ambulance by a Biddeford officer at the outset of the standoff, Beaupre said.
Johnson was taken to Maine Medical Center but a hospital spokeswoman said Monday she was not listed as a patient. A state police spokesman said he did not know her whereabouts or whether she had been discharged, but said she was still alive.
Johnson's 7-year-old son, Brayden, hid in a bedroom during the shooting and was not injured.
Biddeford police were initially called to the house by one of the tenants complaining that Pak was banging on the door. Police left 43 minutes later after determining that the tenants did not feel threatened.
There were no warning signs the dispute would turn deadly based on any criminal history or previous violent encounters with Pak, Beaupre said. Pak has no criminal record in Maine, according to the State Bureau of Identification.
Three minutes after officers left the house, police were called back to the resident by Johnson reporting the shooting.
Pak owns the two-unit house where the Saturday shootings took place and lives in the main building.
Pak was arrested in his driveway about 10 p.m. Saturday.
State police said Sunday a dispute over parking in one of the home's two driveways during a snowstorm may have led to the shooting.
Friends of Thompson and Welch will hold a candlelight vigil at 6:30 p.m. today at Clifford Park in Biddeford.
Welch graduated from Thornton Academy in Saco last June and was a nursing student at Southern Maine Community College. Thompson, who attended Biddeford High School, worked as a car detailer at Patriot Subaru in Saco.
Thompson's family moved into the Sokokis Road house in October. Welch had been staying there for about a month, according to police.MORE IN This Just InNEW YORK Yes, your mutual fund may own some Greek stocks. No, most likely not a lot.

Airstrikes - verb: to campaign against hikes in rocket and/or missile fuel prices.
I do not like this game.
I got a CB1 invite for FW and I must confess, I hardly logged into the game after the first few hours and never really did any "testing".
The FW client downloaded pretty fast without incident, even though it was a torrent file...long as it DLd fast and worked fine I dont have any complains about it.
Once I got into the game, I found the character customisation very, Very restrictive. I played their PWI from when they launched it back in 2008 and I cannot really believe that the same company would take a step backwards on their new "flagship" MMO and resort to premades instead of user defined character models.
The gameplay itself was way too chunky. My first character was a Stoneman or whichever race it is. And he moved like he had calcified joints, painful calcified joints for that matter. Animations werent anything spectacular, graphics were cartoonish, so were the mob models, also the mobs spawned way too fast, I had to battle a bunch of giant snakes early on and even with a massive 4v1 gank the fight was very bland and not memorable. I got bored of that class when I fell down a cliff and struggled to kill an overgrown dragon mob, whereas a same level cleric was curb stomping them and hardly breaking a sweat. I might have been doing something wrong with that class or if its just that imbalanced, I dont care to ask.
For my second class I tried out a female kindred vampire. First impressions, I felt like the devs dint just jump to the decison to make female kindred(all female?) characters look like they had breast implants, but even concluded to give them silicone ass implants. Some might like them, but for me "forced" (since bust or hips arent user defined) Airbag models kill any little realism a game has to offer. As for the gameplay on that character, nothing special. I did turn into a bat once which was fun, but it was in a little closed circuit cave and I couldnt continue in batmode outside that cave. I moved along and ended up speaking to some vamp kiddo NPC asking me bout his bride or such like I got nothing better to do than hunt runaway brides, and thats when I logged out and the FW client was soon deleted a couple of days later when I just couldnt find myself wanting to go back and try out the Forsaken World ever again.
All in all, to me, it felt like a F2P WoW clone and nothing else. And I dont even like WoW for that matter, so I cant care less about WoW clones.
End of the day, I would give PW a higher score over FW and the truth is I stopped playing PWI back in early 2009. A game geting launched in 2011 with same old gameplay is atmost worth 5/10 and nothing more, in my humble opinion.
This is my very brief experience from late CB1. Granted I DID NOT test any instances or pvp or any real endgame part of FW, it is only my early game impressions, but the early game did not convince me to stay and play. To each his own and this is my review/opinion/POV or whatever you want to call it, about FW. Its a F2P anyhow so try it and you may or may not like it, but atleast you dont end up paying unless you really want to.

"I haven't a particle of confidence in a man who has no redeeming petty vices."
It's meh. It's free so I try to keep an open mind but...my issues with it
1. The movement: It is far too slow, this must be changed, or I imagine most people will drop it.
2. Graphics/Visuals: Incredibly dated, muddy art
3. Performance: High traffic areas will be very laggy (regardless of system, I have a very good one), instead of fixing this (from what it seems) a tooltip comes up on how to turn off features (like graphics, or showing other players) to me this is a huge huge problem. The fact they are getting you to turn off other players etc because it cannot handle the traffic?
4. Not very immersive, I find myself just going from quest to quest, clicking on the auto-run to next quest giver/location etc
5. Quests die out
This is free though, so beyond my criticism im sure it will provide entertainment for some.
It is ok for f2p game. I have a vampire hooker lv 11 now. I like the auto find for quest and npc becaouse if i didn't have that i get lost a lot! I am going to play some more but I am not sure how long.

Well, I'll say. This game is about as good as the company running it . A BIG STEAMY PILE OF DOG SHIT . I pray this game fails along with the whole PWE company. This was by far the worse GM staff and support I've seen in 12 years of gaming, BY FAR !
So people, play it ,have fun and waste some time. BUT DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE ANY MONEY.
Go spend you're cash on things like food . You'll get much more out it . :)

Incredible grind. Perhaps most telling are the Henry quests and the instance A God's Trial, two of the most important sources of exp for levelling up (possibly even THE two greatest).
Henry quests involve running errands around the game's single capital city Freedom Harbor. The game doesn't even hide this fact - honestly that is your dialogue option when taking them "I'm just running errands."
A God's Trial is an instance that involves killing 60 mobs that mostly don't even fight back. Which ends in a boss that is basically tank n spank (at level 35, so far every single boss of every single instance is just tank n spank).
I would definitely not recommend this game.

I've tried the game and kind of like some of the over the top artistic concepts. Like the vampire hookers and the totally '80's bards.
I'm going to see how high I can get without the need to buy anything from the cash shop.

Im up to level 27 with my Stoneman Protector and really loving the game. It's free, I can level without grinding mobs, I can do instanced dungeons, I can craft and I dont have a need for the cash shop (yet). im in a guild that has alot of good people in it as well. Might be my home for some time.

This game has me hooked for the past month.
I currently have 2 level 37 Priests. I started on the European PvE server but moved over to the US East PvE server in order to take advantage of the daily events, especially God's Trial which is held during prime time for me.
God's Trial is actually 121 mobs (6 statues * 20 mobs each status + 1 final boss). However, since it requires a party, I usually play a part in defeating at most of 61 mobs. The battle lasts between 20 to 30 minutes and for the amount of character experience gained in such a short amount of time, it's relatively much less of a grind than most of the F2P games out there.
Henry's first 10 errands also gives a good amount of character experience and can be completed in 15 minutes if you're lucky with the random tasks. Additional rewards from it include reputation (Dream Emblem on the 5th and the 10th completion), a cash shop item on the 10th completion of the day (World Flute), and a random assortment of other items (ie. Memory Lotus for use when AFK)
At higher level instances, it's definitely more than "tank & spank" unless one likes being spanked by the bosses. I've seen quite a few tanks attempt to spank a boss only to be hit by the boss's Blade Rebound skill and be spanked back.
I haven't spent any money on the game so far but after being in a party last night with another character in an adorable maid outfit, I'm sorely tempted. It's only $3 or $4 for the permanent dress, not including shoes, hair, and privates. Or maybe I'll just continue saving enough ingame money to trade for cash shop currency (Leaf) for it.

Ok I have a level 33 bard and level 27 vampire.
I have been downloading many F2P games lately trying to find a good one and I don't think this is the one.
Unlike most gamers,I like grinding (killing mobs) I'm not a fan of quest quests and quests.I really couldn't care less about the story.I have a lot of time in my hands and I play a lot.However I don't feel like my character is making much progress.
The game itself feels way too "superficial",they bet a lot on their graphics to sell.I like the graphics,because of the costume designs wich are pretty much the only thing I like about this game,it looks unique compared to others.
Okay,granted I like the pet system too.It's probably the only thing that kept me going...leveling up to get a cool new pet or mount.
The music gets annoying,the fighting gets boring and repetitive.I also really hate the fact that you can't just sit down and recover your health/mana without having to consume an item.You often run out of potions.I can accept anything but of all the games I've ever played, this one is the hardest to level up in.After doing a long quest with "nice" experience I barely saw any difference in my EXP bar.It's really deppressing and feels like you'll never level up.
Also the game is quite confusing,I'm not new to mmorpgs but when I first played FW,I got lost.
You get a bunch of items that are "useful when you're higher and/or richer" it feels like they exist just to pack your stash bank full to make you want to buy bank extension items and stuff.Honestly,I think FW is a game they made to make money.I might be getting a little deep here but it doesn't have soul,as I mentioned before,it's superficial.
Well,that's my opinion.

If you want a game where the scenery and character design look good, not overly bright (hence my belief that they are trying to appeal to the kids with ADD, since bright colors hold their attention longer), and the characters don't have disproportionate bodies. Then go for this. It's got a great stroyline that you can follow. There is grinding just like in every other MMO out there, there isn't one where you don't grind something out folks. The weapons don't look impossibly huge, and the armor looks functional, even on female characters. I have been playing since closed beta, and I can tell you that's by far it's better than most of PWI's games. For example, the auto walk (for the most part) is more intelligent, and will take you right where you need to go. Though not all quests have that function, many more of them do.

I decided to download FW once I realized I had no interest in returning to my Age of Conan level 34 F2P character.
I really like the art style, and yes it is very derivative of WoW in certain areas. Leveling to 25 was extremely fast with their 3x EXP boost. Things REALLY slow down after that. I'm currently level 33 and it takes forever to move the exp bar. Green quests and mob kills give tiny experience.
I can't continue with the yellow quests because they require me to level my socialite job and there are only two ways of doing so. You can run a perfume quest but I'd need to use one of my three world chat flutes to advertise and there's no guarantee I'll find anyone. There's also randomly given "wish quests" and if you run the "life in the harbor" daily the maximum number of times each day you'll probably get 3 of them. It takes a total of 20 of those to reach level 2 as a socialite.
That means my main questing has halted for at least a week because of some side job they didn't tell you was so important. I found out when the quest giver told me the skills I'd need for it.
The instances I've seen are simple tank and spank. The problem with the auto join feature is that it doesn't always get you a tank or proper healer. That's always fun. My marksman goes through his mana at a ridiculous clip, way too mana hungry in my opinion.
I think it has great potential, but I don't relish spending months trying to reach the level cap. It seems the best thing to do is a handful of dailies and if you're online the god's trial instance of which you are limited to two runs in a day. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be buying XP potions to speed the leveling, but using my XP scrolls really only seems helpful in the god's trial.
With all of that being said, I have enjoyed the game but I don't imagine I'll stick it out to level 50, let alone the cap of 80, if the leveling remains this dreadfully slow.

We all know that pregnancy and giving birth takes a lot out of a new mother's body. But is there something that we can do about it to make our bodies recover more quickly and effectively. The answer is exercise, good diet, and supplements. But seeing as you are a new mother, you can pretty much kiss a good diet and exercise goodbye, so that leaves you with supplements. But before you ever take any supplements, it is strongly recommended that you first see your doctor for advice to make sure the supplements are not doing damage to you or your baby.
Vitamin D
Let's face it, when we are a new mother sometimes it is really difficult to leave the house. Just when you think you are about to leave, something comes up like your baby's diaper needs to be changed. This may mean that we might be lacking in vitamin D as we rarely make it out into the sunshine. Taking vitamin D supplements may help with this.
Vitamin B-12
We get a lot of our vitamin B-12 from animal products. So for those new mothers who do not eat any animal products, we may be lacking in vitamin B-12. The good news is that we can continue not eating animal products if that is our preference and take vitamin B-12 supplements instead.
B Vitamins and Vitamin C
For those new mothers who may be struggling to supple enough breast mild, perhaps you are vitamin C and B vitamins deficient. Try upping your dosage to these as it may help increase the supply of breast milk. But this will only have an affect up to a certain point, if you keep taking more and more vitamins it will not keep increasing your breast milk. Something to keep in mind.
So there you have it. You may be lacking in certain vitamins when you are pregnant or just after giving birth. It is a good idea to get tested by your doctor to find out which vitamins you are lacking in and take the recommended dosages for you.
