London Telephone Tea Tin, 25-Count 8 8
Ahmad English Breakfast tea is pure pleasure! I've enjoyed English Breakfast tea for 30 years, and find this to be my favorite. Anyone who enjoys English Breakfast tea knows it's bold, yet this one is also smooth and well rounded. You can drink it plain, or with milk or half & half; it's splendid either way. So pleased to obtain it easily from my local World Market! August 3, 2014
London Telephone Tea Tin The was very cute for the people that enjoy collecting unique tins. Tea was very tasty too. January 30, 2014
Great Product My husband is from England living here in the US and this product took him home for a little bit. January 14, 2014
Cute little tin that is bank too! I bought this for a friend for Christmas who is a big Downton Abbey fan and loves tea! She loved it! January 8, 2014
Practical & Tasty Brittish Tea Tin/Telephone Bank This cute, well-made, stuffed with delicious tea bags, piggy-bank & English classic red telephone booth tea tin is a delight! I like everything about it; the tea is terrific! The scenes on the 4-sides of the tin are adorable (a "Bobby", & families out for a walk or a shopping trip), the plastic, clear lid that covers the piggy bank slot (until such a time as you are ready to use the tin as a piggy bank) is soundly placed but easy to remove when you want to remove it, & the quality of the tin is very good -- strong, not flimsy, & the people & scenes on each side, & the top, are fun to look at! Thanks for making this available on World Market online! September 28, 2013
One of my favorite possessions! This tin of tea is just the best thing ever! Not only is it a super cute tin, it's also a coin bank and it's filled with delicious English Breakfast tea! It's such a good deal at its price, I'm still reeling. I ordered three and gave one to a friend and kept two for decoration after I use up the tea! February 1, 2013
Cute gift! Gave this as a gift to a tea lover. Mainly bought because of cute tin! February 1, 2013
Tea Tin/Bank I love tea and English-looking things, so I was very excited to buy this tin! When I got it, it was very cute, but the plastic top with the sticker on it would not come off. It took me about half an hour of prying to get it off (- 1 star). It has a slit on top so you can put your change in to use it as a bank when you drink all the tea. Also, the other sides show a woman with a child, and I'm very sensitive to sexism ( - 1 star). I didn't recommend it for this reason. If they had thrown a man on there, except the cop on the front, it would have been great. (I took photos but they didn't turn out well) :( There's a very good amount of tea in here, it fills up the entire tin and it comes in an airtight packet so it's fresh. Also, it's good black tea so the tin is a great deal. It didn't cost much more than a regular box of tea at the grocery. September 15, 2013

Hello all
So i am looking for a new MMO, as probably everyone in this part of the forums. The problem might be that the MMO i am looking for most probably does not exist, but i still wanted to give it a try. The game i am looking for is not for me alone to play, but for three more friends of mine, so we always play MMOs in a team of four.
This means we need the following features mandatory:
Groups of four+ possible in PvE (instances, group quests, etc...) - that should be no problem in most MMOs
Groups of four+ possible in instanced PvP (Battlegrounds) - that should be no problem in most MMOs
But now lets look on what we would like to see in addition to that:
Real Bodys in PvP, it is so much more fun if a tank can block the way to the healer. I cant stand those ppl jump forth and back right through my Char anymore. (Warhammer online was good here, sadly the rest of the game was crap.) - I dont know any game beside Warhammer online with that feature yet
Real Character Customization is what i really would like to see. To me, Epic Loot is NO character customization. I am sick of games where Chars are all the same and differ only by having some green, blue or purple equipment and maybe a few Talents. Good Character Customization was offered in City of Heroes and Anarchy Online. In more modern games like WoW, Swtor etc there is no customization possible, stats like strength or agility are just fixed, skills are learned automatically while leveling and sometimes you can not even choose your weapon (like in SwTor).
Having a crafting system would be nice. Doesnt need to be too fancy, the WoW crafting system was good enough for me, but a little bit better than the warhammer system for example it should be.
I am looking for a game with PvP and PvE suitable for four friends playing together. It should have real bodys like Warhammer online, real Character Customization like Anarchy Online and some sort of crafting.
Happy for all hints and advices!
Thank you alot!

If you havent tried it, TSW has what you described.
Dungeons are 5 man. Story/elite/nightmare
Without question TSW has the most character customozation out there right now (character not spaceship :P). From stars to clothing, there are not 2 toons the same in TSW. No one looks alike. No one has the same build.
TSW crafting is like minecraft. Much more in depth than that of WoWs. Simple enough but it will take some learning.
PvP with 4 friends is the S$hit because of synergies the four of you can create. One knocks into the air another sets the ground on fire while another slows. The group build meta game is somthing speacial. Some are starting to get into it now.
edit- Oh and FULL PVP collision. I body healers and AR users in corners several times a day lol. :)
Hello and thank you for the answer.
With "TSW" you mean "The Secret World"? If yes, then we have quite different ideas about character customization as for my subjective taste the game does not offer any at all. There are not even stats existing in that game. The only thing you can "customize" if you want to use that word at all for this game is the choice of weapon. So the chars differ in wearing either a shotgun and a pistol or a hammer and a rifle. Sorry, but that is not character customization to me.
Also i dont remember instanced PvP Battlegrounds there. As far as i remember i was just teleported in a PvP area where i was just constantly slaughtered by some groups of 8 enemies running around together while my own team had only 3. One of the worst PvP setups i have ever seen.
So if "TSW" is "The Secret World" then this is not it. Any chance you meant another game?

TSW does mean The Secret World, though you aren't really looking at it fairly.
To say that the character customization consists solely of weapon choice is just flat out wrong. There are numerous avenues:
- Character creation - it's not the most detailed in the genre, but there are plenty of physical appearance options to differentiate your character (as long as you don't want to play someone out-of-shape)
- Clothing - this is appearance-only and does not affect stats at all, so you are free to make your character look how you like, from head to feet
- Wide-open skill system - yes, there are different weapons, but within each weapon category, you can unlock various skills... these are available to everyone, though you can only have 7 active skills and 7 passive skills equipped at a time, giving lots of flexibility in creating unique builds
And you must be talking about Fusang, which is the persistent PVP zone that is generally a zergfest dominated by the team with more people. There are also two instanced battlegrounds: El Dorado and Stonehenge... These are the more "standard" type, with 3 teams of equal numbers competing to accomplish some specific objective.

as a fellow AO refugee id say give Fallen Earth a try if you havent already,,
while in no way as complex as AO, it has a very nice ( for 2012 standards ) char customization, wont find anything better in a quality game that isnt a decade old
best fun ive had with crafting in any game ever ( tho i didnt play swg, from what ive read/heard it was the best crafting system ever )
game itself is really good, while currently on a break and playing path of exile beta im in no way done with it and gonna get back to it sooner then later
you can find quite a few ao vets in fe
no char. collision in FE, tho its a very rare mechanic in nowdays mmo's, regretably
one of the best F2P models ive encountered so far, so you can give it a try for free and have access to 100% content,,, payed stuff is just fluff+better xp rates ( you can unlock global chat and remove the 10red currency lock by spending a single $ on some fluff item from the shop, but you can aswell buy it for ingame currency ingame from other players and get rid of those 2 locks this way too, if im not mistaken )
the mentioned above TSW is a very interesting game ( not too bad char customization, tho little bit to guild wars'ish for my tastes (( limited skills you can use in a single build )) ), personally i passed on it only becouse of no open world pvp
out of the two tho, id still suggest FE, even tho im somewhat of a funcom loyalist

Guild Wars 2 doh!
Have you tried it/your impressions?
Hello all and thanks again for the answeres.
Well, with character customization i did not mean to customize the look but the abilities. I know that TSW offers some cosmetic customization but the look of a char is not too important for me. I would love to really create a unique Char that has skill, abilities and powers which no other char in the game has. This was possible in AO and CoH but not in TSW.
Thanks for the hint, i will have a look into Fallen earth. But i should add that i am not too fond of Funcom. Have paid good money for the AoC Bullshit and still have bad memories of completely screwed addons in AO.
Well GW2 is probably the opposite of what i am looking for, its basically a clone of WoW and SWTor. No collision control and no character customization other than talents and loot. Its basically what bores me. So i read that in GW2 all Chars can be all roles...thet already made SWTor boring crap, cant think why it should work in another MMO. If all chars are the same, do same HpS and DpS or TpS, why are there different Chars at all? The more they make them similar to apease the whining crowd the more boring it becomes imo.

i dunno hat sort of pvp you are interested in but take a look at some of the team legacy and super squad vids on YouTube.

and yeah, anarchy online is by far their best game ever, one thing i gotta give to them tho is they aint trying just to copy paste other games but try to get their own niche
reading your opening post it seems we're looking for simmilar stuff in our mmo's, outside char collision ive found what you wrote about in Fallen Earth, something tells me you should like it:)

While the char customization isnt anything close to what AO was, GW2 aint looking that bad, was considerring giving it a try myself, not for my main mmo title, but for a small change of pace game when ever i feel tired of my main mmo's of choice ( at that time ) in order to be able to get an easy pvp fix, untill i read about WvWvW ( single zone pvp ). No Open World PVP is what killed any anticipation of that title for me personally. Unfortunately thats the trend with AAA mmo's nowdays, to make pvp just a meta game.
All hopes left in the indie teams,,,

Ok now you make me curious about GW2. Just to check how much Char Customization is possible:
Can any class wear any weapon (That should be an obvious must as there is no logical reason why some class can not use a specific weapon.)?
Are there attributes like strength, agility etc. to which you can distribute some "point" with each lvl up?
I take it there is a talent system as that is the minimum customization that all games offer atm, but is there anything more, maybe like the enhancement system in coh?

Here's the thing with GW2, I don't think it has EVERYTHINg you want, but it isn't a bad fit...
Definately NOT a WoW clone. Whoever told you that, or how ever you got that conclusion, is wrong.
Starters, char creation has a decent amount of customization, but it really kicks off later on, with Transmuting your armor, you can mix and match any piece of armor you want, and put any stats you want on it from another set of armor.
So like this look but those stats? Transmute them.
Now, for the weapons, not every class can use EVERY weapon, but it has a good variety. Elementalists can use staffs, daggers, scepter ect..
Rangers can use Bows, Axes, Warhorns, 2h swords...
Necro's can use axe's, warhorns, staffs...
These are just some examples, Ranger is the only one that gets Longbow, but warrior can also use a shortbow. There isn't total freedom, but it's a good mix/match.
BIG... If you are skimming this post read this. I don't know what you know about GW2, or what you're looking for hot-bar wise, but GW2 has a limited hotbar, so if you can't deal with having only 10 skills at once, you won't like it, (keep reading) but there is weapon swap, every 7 seconds or so you can swap to another weapon set (max of 2 sets), opening up another set of skills. ALSO some skills open up even MORE skills, so like Conjure Frostbow (creates a bow of ice) opens up another tier of weapon skills, so while you only have 10 technically available, you can have upwards of 40 within seconds.
Full body collision i honestly don't know. I never thought about that but in this game there is no "healer".
GW2 does have stats,
Honestly not a bad thread about stats, it atleast shows you all of them.
Crafting should be good, it's kind of a hybrid type crafting system i would say, put 4 things into the pot and it will say if it will work or not, once you learn a recipe, you've learned it, so it's definately good, but I can't say if it's for you.
I'm sure someone will bring up "what about endgame?" well, just look up a few threads on it and you draw YOUR conclusion on it. To me it sounds great, but I havent tried it so I can't say.
Anyways, i'm not trying to sell you the game, but it honestly isn't a bad fit. On a plus side, it's only B2P, no sub fee, which is purty nice. I guess if you try other games, and can't find anything to play with your amigos, GW2 is always an option.

Hmm, GW2 _does_ indeed have some interesting aspects and we will surely hae a look at it. But to be honest, everything i learned about the game so far says that it _is_ a WOW clone, no matter how many ppl deny it.
Chars can use a small variety of weapons - same in WoW as GW2
No collision Control in PvP - same in WoW as GW2
Chars can fill different roles - same in WoW as GW2
Attributes can only be influenced by Epix Loot, no ditribution by Lvl-Up - same in WoW as GW2
Only Char Customization is Talents and Loot - Same in WoW as GW2
Actually there does not seem to be any difference at all between those two apart some minor features.

I think you should stick to the games you've been playing. if you think SWTOR with their 4th pillar of story, TSW investigation and missions with modern horror settings and GW2 [whatever they got] are WOW clones, maybe you should play PRE-WOW clones.
Stick with Ultima, Everquest, Anarcy, DAOC, etc. maybe Maplestory

Hehe... I believe that you should "move a step backward" and try out "Path of Exile". It is not a MMORPG and it has a different "view". In fact it is a modernized "Diablo 2". Imho a crossing between Guild Wars 1 and Diablo 2 in a way.
Before you say "well not thats not what I want" you should consider its character customisation features:
1. It has a passive skill tree which is shared by all "classes". You get to invest 1 point per level up (+ some from quests) which will modify your "strength" "dex" "int" values as such things like specialisation in weapons or fight stiles. It even goes so far that you can create something like a "bloodmage" with replacing life for mana skills. Or go minion master, crit builds, attack speed and whatever.
2. It has "classes" but they just define the starting attributes, the "look and gender" and the place where they start in the HUGE passive skill tree.
3. The weapons (and all skills) are freely chooseable. You can have a Marauder use a wand an a shield or a witch using a 2 handed axe. And being effective with it. Do what you like.
4. Skills are "gems" which need to be placed in sockets of your equiptment. There are "skills" like "fireball", "dual strike", "bear trap" and there are support gems with stuff like "add cold damage", "lower mana cost", "add life leach". Every "class" can use every skill as far as their "level" (skill gems level with xp) is not so high that a bound attribute like "int" for a skill like "raise zombie" goes to high. You can choose to not level a gem. This is how the game creates a balance.
5. The game will have (this is currently in development) different pvp modes. From arenas to "open world" pvp where your group can invade other groups instance.
6. The game supports play up to a group size of 6 players and is hard. It has pretty interessting game mechanics like body blocking, "bleeding, with inc damage if you move", different elemental damage types + resis for them, chaos damage (bypasses shielding).
7. Its defensive system constists of evasion, armor (damage migration), dodge (special type of evasion), life (+ life regeneration / life leach), "shield" (some layer between your life and the damage). All of those can and have to be combined to create a build which is able to play through the content. It gets very hard to play just a "dps" glass cannon. There is no known "uber" build too.... and people try hard to come up with one :)
To make it short: It is a pretty hard game with stuff like XP los on death. Its skill system (passive + active + playstyle) is pretty demanding and has probably the highes charakter customisation level of any game I played so far!
It does not have a dedicated healer role and it will not be a "I ride my horse into the sunset in 3d" game...

Hi there,
i think there wont be a mmo with a complex character system like AO had. The mayority of the mmo player dont want to spend 2 hours to understand the lvling system...wich is sad.
Pen and Paper is dying slowly and so are the skills / leveling systems they use.
I wonder what mmo Blizz is doing atm...i didnt find any infos nor rumors except that they do one, that hasnt anything to do with wow.
TSW has a nice new idea with the actionpoints you spend in skills and the points you spend on weapons/talisman.
Its the direction we want, but abit to less imho.
PS: i am the 3rd of the lan party with bernie :)
have a nice one all

I disagree with your statement that such games does not exist. But they will not fit your "idea" of a game I bet!
Two games to mention (which are still played and have a nice fan population) are:
1. "Wurm Online" which is so hard to understand as newbie that you will carry your noob shoes for weeks and even after months you still need to ask others for information. It also is a true sandbox and player driven economy game. Its presentation is rather special and I am sure it will not appeal to you guys. Still it hast what you ask for the most: Highly charakter specialisations with a very deep skill system. It even has probably one of the cooles PVP system as this includes real eastate and land borders. People which are playing this game will have to master a steep learning curve but be rewarded with the "ultimate freedom". Yet it is no primarily fight game. Actually it is a crafting based game with a looooot of options (I for example breed riding horses.. hehe)
2. "EVE Online" is for sure a working player driven economy pvp feast with just the most cruel pvp system you can invent "free for all and people can be people". You need your share of time to play this game and you need a degree in science, business and military operations to just step out of your "beginners" vehicle and into a real ship :)
Both games are "living creatures" and of course niche... You are asking for a "mainstream game ala AO". Which will probably never again happen. People want to have FUN while playing where FUN means: Beat the game in 24 hours by laying mayhem to all other creatures and bitch about it having no endgame .. so you can move to the next "money making soap bubble".
So what to do? Find you niche! I did and I am happily playing: Wurm (less) and Path of Exile (more)... with an share of League of Legends for the REAL competive pvp fun.
You guys should just return to AO :) ... after some time you will find out why people do not want such games anymore. Cause they suck if you try to play them "today". We are all "spoiled rotten" and want our first girl back!

The second leg was a chess match from the off and Bayern didn't seem to know how to approach it - whether they should shut up shop or kill the game off totally.
Arsenal, if anything, seemed even more confused about how to approach the match early on and with the Bayern fans fairly quiet it all contributed to a strangely-muted atmosphere in the Allianz Arena.
In the end it was mission accomplished for Bayern, but not in the way they would have wished.
Arsenal were exceptional defensively and reduced Bayern to a handful of chances. Laurent Koscielny finally reproduced the kind of form that we saw from his last season but has been too often lacking this season.
He took the role of the organiser of the back four - he was clearly in charge; Arsenal need leaders on the field and Koscielny stepped up last night.
I thought Kieran Gibbs was excellent too, not just defensively but going forward as well.
So there were several encouraging signs for Arsenal but at the end of the day, as fantastic a result as it was, they are still out.
Arsenal return to Premier League action this weekend five points off fourth place and I expect them to use their performance in Munich as a springboard for the rest of the domestic season.
If you look at their remaining fixtures - Reading, Norwich, Everton, Manchester United and Wigan at home and Swansea, West Brom, Fulham, QPR and Newcastle away - they are not bad at all.
I'm sure that Arsenal sides of previous years will have looked at those fixtures and thought 'we'll win the majority of those games'.
I'm not sure you can say that this time around but I did see enough at the Allianz to suggest that they will finish very close to the top four, even without Jack Wilshere.
I wouldn't rule them out of qualifying for next season's Champions League just yet.
I think they will win more of their remaining games than they lose if they apply themselves in the same way as they did last night.
Wenger says the fact that there will be no English clubs in Friday's quarter-final draw should serve as a wake-up call but are we really doing something wrong? I'm not sure that we are.
It hasn't been a vintage Champions League season for our sides but every nation goes through difficult years; there are peaks and troughs all the time. Personally, I think it's much too soon to press the alarm bells.
I remember phases when we thought the Italian clubs would go on and dominate Europe but they haven't of late. It's all part of a natural evolution. There's nothing to be particularly worried about.
You have to factor in the luck of the draw, too. Where would we be now if Manchester United had drawn Porto rather than Real Madrid, or Arsenal had drawn Galatasaray rather than Bayern Munich? The chances are we would have at least one club in the last eight.
I think you have to dismiss this campaign as a one-season disappointment.
It's different if English clubs start to under-perform in Europe week in, week out but we're certainly not at that stage yet.
I'm certain that Bayern fans will be pretty concerned by what they saw last night.
They looked good in the first leg at Arsenal, but on the basis of the second leg I can't see them going on to win the Champions League.
They were missing Bastian Schweinsteiger, who is a big player for them, and Franck Ribery, too, but even taking that into account they were thoroughly disappointing and Arsenal managed to expose them defensively on occasions.
If you look at their Champions League results, they've conceded in every game apart from one, which was against Lille - a team that doesn't pose the greatest attacking threat.
So for me, again depending on the draw, you have to feel that Barcelona are the side to beat after that incredible display against AC Milan.
I've thought all along that the Borussia Dortmund - who play a lovely brand of football and have a fresh, vibrant side - are more suited to the Champions League than Bayern.
Given a kind draw it wouldn't surprise me at all if they got to the final.

I'm going for Barnet's 4-1 win away at Morecambe. You have to say that Edgar Davids - a staggering appointment by the way - has done well since he arrived there. Barnet seem to survive on the last day of the season every single year but this season they've got an opportunity to secure their status a little earlier than that. Davids' love of the game means that he is desperate to be involved in football and he's certainly getting something right at Barnet because Morecambe were on a good run of form, so it was an excellent result. The battle down at the bottom of League Two is going to go right to the wire - it's impossible to predict at the moment. Torquay are falling like a stone and I'm sure Helen Chamberlain is extremely concerned about their future.
Jeff's climbing Kilimanjaro!
Just as Hartlepool have a mountain to climb this season, so has Jeff; he has decided to attempt to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with a couple of ex-footballers - Colin Cooper and Craig Hignett. A couple of years ago Colin set up the Finlay Cooper fund in memory of his two-year son, who tragically choked to death. Together they're aiming to raise money for all children's causes but principally children's hospices.

COLUMBIA — In front of a busy crowd of law enforcement, their families and well-wishers, one ring of a bright, brass handbell was greeted with a solemn silence Wednesday afternoon. The bell rang to honor fallen comrades, some who had passed on in retirement, but in particular one woman who lost her life in the line of duty.
Aiken Public Safety's Master Cpl. Sandra E. "Sandy" Rogers was inducted into the S.C. Law Enforcement Hall of Fame Wednesday and was honored at the annual Law Enforcement Memorial.
The Aiken police officer who was killed last year responding to a suspicious vehicle call, has been inducted into the state's ring of honor, where her plaque hangs directly below that of E. Scott "Scotty" Richardson, another Aiken officer killed in the line of duty.
"It's a day of honoring all law enforcement, and especially Sandy. She died doing what she loved doing, serving her community – and her honor continues today," said Chief Charles Barranco of Aiken Public Safety. "Sandy was sort of a mother hen to us, making sure we are taking care of the community and each other."
The annual Law Enforcement Memorial took place at the S.C. Criminal Justice Academy and included speakers, singing and prayers, and ended with an honoring of the colors.
"For them to put everything on the line for the love of his or her fellow American, that speaks volumes," said Leroy Smith, director of the S.C. Department of Public Safety.
Rogers, a 27-year veteran with the Aiken Department of Public Safety, was the officer responding to the suspicious vehicle call. She radioed in that she was approaching a blue vehicle stopped in Eustis Park. It was her final transmission.
When Rogers didn't respond about a minute later, officers went to the scene where she was found with a gunshot wound. She was transported to an area hospital where she died of her wounds.
"It was really moving … just a sweet way to honor my sister for years to come," said Virginia Johnson, sister of Sandy Rogers.

Dana White feels 'terrible' about latest Georges St-Pierre ACL tear that extends UFC layoff 'for who knows how long'
http://www.mmamania.com/2014/3/27/55...fc-return-longWhite shared his thoughts about St-Pierre's latest setback with Los Angeles Times earlier this afternoon:
"I didn't think his hiatus was going to be that long. That's one of the risks you run when you get away from the sport like that. You have a small window as a professional athlete to make what you can. The guy gave up his belt, walked away from the sport, and now he's out for who knows how long ... last time he had this injury, it was 14 months."

Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - Howie Kendrick drove in a pair of runs as the LA Angels of Anaheim took a 6-1 win over the Detroit Tigers in the second of a three-game set.
Albert Pujols went 3-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored while Mike Trout hit a solo home run and scored twice for the Angels, who have won their last five games.
C.J. Wilson (12-9) won his third straight start as he gave up just one unearned run along with four hits and two walks while striking out six over 7 2/3 innings.
"I tried not to do too much," said Wilson. "I just tried to get on the same page with the catcher and hit the glove. If you take the walks out of the game, I think this was my best game."
Omar Infante had two hits and drove in the lone run for the Tigers, who have lost four of their last five. Justin Verlander (13-8) gave up all six runs on nine hits over six innings to take the loss.
"It wasn't his night out there," said Detroit manager Jim Leyland about Verlander. "He wasn't very good and the Angels ambushed him early. They are a good team and are fighting for a playoff spot, same as us."
Detroit fell two games back of Chicago, which beat Kansas City on Saturday, for first place in the AL Central, while the Angels' winning streak has got them two games back of the crowded AL wild card chase.
Trout led off the Angels first with his 26th home run of the season. With one out, Pujols walked and Kendrys Morales doubled. Kendrick drove in both runners with a double and later came home on a Vernon Wells double for a 4-0 lead.
The Angels added to their lead in the third when Pujols led off with a double and Kendrys Morales followed with a two-bagger for a 5-0 lead.
In the fourth, the Tigers got on the board as Austin Jackson reached second base on an Maicer Izturis error then scored on an Infante single.
The Angels, though, got the run back in the bottom of the fourth on an RBI single from Pujols that plated Trout for a 6-1 advantage.
Detroit leads the season series, 5-4 ... Izturis left the game in the fourth
inning with a rib cage strain ... Tigers third base coach Gene Lamont and
third baseman Miguel Cabrera were ejected in the fourth inning by home plate
umpire Tim Timmons for arguing.

The date for this year's award winning Breath of Spring Flower Show at Cypress Gardens has been set.
The "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow," standard flower show has been scheduled for March 1-3 at Dean Hall on the grounds of Cypress Gardens. It is sponsored by the Belle Isle Garden Club, the Camellia Garden Club of Greater Charleston, the Garden Club of Otranto, and the Town and Village Garden Club.
The flower show is open to the public with exhibition hours running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
Admission to the show is included in a $10 admission to Cypress Gardens.
Horticulture and design judging will be held on Thursday, Feb. 28 from 8 to 11 a.m.
Last year, nearly 250 entries graced the three categories in a flower show that celebrated the 80th anniversary of Cypress Gardens, with 194 horticulture entries, 48 design entries and five special exhibit entries filling Dean Hall.
Cypress Gardens first opened to the public in 1932 when the old rice paddies and retention ponds from Dean Hall Plantation were donated by then owner Benjamin Kitteredge. Kitteridge purchased the 80 acres of swamp, gardens and old rice fields in 1909 as a piece of land to be used for duck hunting.
The grounds were first used as a rice plantation in the 1720's according to historical records. It was a flourishing business that grew for years. The structure on the estate was known as the Nesbit House. A hundred years later Dean Hall was built.
The Breath of Spring Flower Show won a National Garden Club award in 2010 for both the show and the flower show schedule.
Winners of the 2012 Breath of Spring Flower Show were:
Award of Horticultural Excellence – Linda Martin.
Award of Merit – Wesley Fisher (Camellia), Brenda Davis (Vine) and Scotty Yenson (Daffodil).
Grower's Choice – Linda Martin and Laurette Sweet.
Arboreal Award – Betty Black.
Award of Design Excellence – Dee Short.

Designer's Choice Award – Dee Short.
Petite Award – Pat Johnson.
Educational Award – Ann Yarborough.

UT baseball has five named to Academic All-MAC TeamWritten by Zach Davis | | email@example.com
The University of Toledo baseball team's success in 2012 has continued even after the season.
Following the program's first Mid-American Conference West Division Championship, the Rockets set a school record with five players being named to the Academic All-MAC Team this week. The team consists of 21 players this season.
The academic honor, which is voted by faculty athletic representatives from the MAC institutions, was given to senior Joe Corfman, juniors Matt Delewski and Ben Hammer and sophomores James Miglin and Ryan Wilkinson. Each student must have a 3.20 cumulative GPA and have played in at least half of their team's games to qualify.
The recognition is especially significant for Corfman, who became the school's first player to make the team three times. Hammer and Delewski can each attempt that feat next year, with each being chosen to the Academic All-MAC Team for the second time.

As the holidays wind down, odds are good your teenager may be spending more time online.
Of the five most sought-after tech gifts for teenagers this holiday season, according to consumerreports.org, three have Internet capabilities. While it's impractical in today's fast-paced world to shield your teenagers from technology, it is a good idea to set some parameters around Internet use.
Consumer Reports recommends establishing guidelines for how and when computers, tablets and smart phones may be used. Talk to your teenagers about what they are doing online, and set boundaries about what is acceptable. The Weller Health Education Center, in Easton, Pa., offers tips for staying safe online. They include encouraging teenagers to refrain from giving out their real names or meeting anyone they talk to online in person.
As a parent, you want your kids to stay safe online. Fortunately, there is a website where teenagers can talk to their peers, get answers to nagging questions and always remain completely anonymous. www.TeenCentral.Net is designed as a safe online space, where teens can read about everything from bullying to drug and alcohol use to weight issues to dating violence. There are special sections that focus entirely on foster care, military families and religion.
All questions posted to the site receive an answer within 24 hours, and even though the teenagers remain anonymous, they do have the opportunity to interact with other teenagers under the guise of their user names. So if you know a teen, encourage him or her to log on. It is a safe way to make connections and find information online. There's even a sister site for parents -- www.ParentCentral.Net -- where you can feel like you belong too.
Of course, remember that face-to-face interaction is just as important among family and friends, so carve out some screen-free times with your kids too.

Non-Dairy Vanilla Frozen Dessert
Jason and Leslie shared a passion for non-dairy frozen dessert. Jason loved making it and Leslie loved eating it. They dreamed of spreading Jason's magically delicious frozen dessert far and wide. Along with Leslie's husband, Alan, they opened "Plant," a vegan restaurant in Asheville, North Carolina, featuring Jason's luscious dessert. On their honeymoon, Amy's cousin Anna and her husband, Andrew, stopped to eat there, and went wild over the non-dairy frozen dessert, which was so delicious that Andrew, who loves ice cream, couldn't believe it contained no dairy. Anna, deciding she simply had to have it in California, called home. Soon, Amy's Uncle Joel was in Asheville talking to Jason, Leslie and Alan about working with Amy's to introduce it to a wider audience. They agreed and our chefs adapted their recipes to create four smooth, great tasting flavors...rich, dark Chocolate, creamy Vanilla with real vanilla bean, refreshing Mint Chocolate Chip and Mocha Chocolate Chip. Enjoy them all.

Latest Activity: Played Sentry Knight 2 (19 hours ago)
Last updated: May 15th, 2015. [Milestone Dates]
Click the "More About Me" button to see my full profile, I will be trying to update it more often now with more relevant information.
I'm a fairly neutral person who tries to think with a realistic mindset. I've become a bit more active in chat as of recent, and hope to remain as such for the foreseeable future. If you see me in chat and want to get my attention, just saying my name or sending me a whisper will alert me if I'm off-tab, so I'll most likely be available to chat if you see me.
I see myself as more of a regular user first and then moderator second, so that means that unless you're really doing something you shouldn't be doing, I'll be just like anyone else out there. Some people might not like this mentality as much, but I feel that this is more beneficial to the chat in the long run, as it can help to keep things moving.
As for school, I'm currently a third year university student studying Mechatronics Engineering. I alternate between four months of school and four months on a co-op placement. I'd definitely recommend this structure to anyone who has the opportunity to do so, as it gives nice breaks from study, gives experience in the field, and helps with finances.
If there's anything else that you'd like to know about me, just ask and I'd be happy to tell and then update it into this section.

If you head towards the end of the Cooper River Bridge Thursday night, you might find a leprechaun's fortune there waiting for you.
On March 14, Catch the Leprechaun 5k participants will be competing for the mythical man's pot of gold at the race that is bringing residents of the Lowcountry together to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
"We want the community to step away from their televisions to spend the night outside, having fun and getting some exercise," said race director Mike McKenna in a news release.
"We tried to add some excitement to the race by creating a festive atmosphere. We hope this will appeal to all the new runners and it will encourage them to make running part of their routine."
As an incentive to get people to come to the race, race orgnizers added more cash and prizes.
The fundraiser for Pattison's Academy increased the prize money to encourage the area's top runners to enter, but it is also introducing prizes that even a turtle with a limp can win. For the first time, a pot of gold will be given to the person with the best costume and there will also be a drawing for a class for five people at Exhale Pilates.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Tatan Gorgeous Light textured fabric, print is all the way through the fabric. Great quality. This top washes nice. Colors don't bleed. I hang my top to dry. Slimming design. To me it reminds me a piece of art. 9.13.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Rin25 Cute and Casual I got this top in black and had been wearing it with leggings and boots during winter. As warmer weather has hit, you can wear it with leggings and sandals or even wear it open or tied. Think of it as a relaxed tunic top instead of a sleepshirt. The top is nicely fitted so that even though it has a "boyfriend" fit, it does not look sloppy. I also like to hike up the sleeves. 7.17.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by jajajamieee not good for the petite ladies OK, I understand this shirt is suppose to be oversized and like a boyfriend fit...but GEEEZ! It was so long (almost to my knees) and way too wide! I tried desperately to make it work, but nothing could make it look right on me. So disappointing because I'm a sucker for beautiful art nouveau patterns like this. FP!!! PLEASE make some petite items!! 7.11.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by angelfire Lovely So many times I have been disappointed by what I received from Free People. The garment rarely looks the same in person or is not a very good quality. Today was the exception. I was pleasently surprised to find this blouse to be of a very nice quality. The fabric is soft and feels so very sleek on the skin. The fit is perfect and looks just like the picture. The price is resonable, which is also very nice. Guess I get to actually keep one for a change. Thank you Free People for finally comming up with a garment worth keeping. 1.31.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by gbabarczy love this shirt!!! it fits a bit big. I ordered a M and its a bit roomy but comfortable, meaning, it's not tight. the fabric is super soft and the colors bright and the pattern is beautiful. I order the ivory. It's a great shirt that you wear for different occasions. 3.5.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by mollmeier Love it! I was a bit torn on this one, but once I tried it on, I was in love. It is so fantastic and so soft. Fits like a dream! I got it in black. 1.23.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by kikidelux A winner I'm wearing this shirt today and I've already had 4 comments. Everyone loves it (and I work in a corporate office!) 9.23.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by lisaizzykate Gorgeous & unique I read the other reviews where they state this shirt runs large . I found it ran very large on top and tight at the waist , it is a "classic boyfriend fit "as stated . I put down that it ran small as the reason i am regrettably returning it is that it ran too small in the waist and hips. If i size up it will be huge on top. I love the print and fabric , it is a beauty but do remember the BF fit in the hips. You could always wear it open if you are curvy like me but i wanted to wear it as pictured. Sadly returning this gem. 1.17.2013

CHARLOTTE, N.C.---The Chicago Wolves rebounded from Sunday afternoon's loss to the Charlotte Checkers with a 2-1 win Tuesday night in front of 4,404 at Time Warner Cable Arena.
Center Steve Pinizzotto delivered his first two goals for the Wolves --- his first goals in a regular-season game since April 1, 2011 --- to pull Chicago (7-3-1-0) into a tie with Charlotte for the most points in the American Hockey League with 15.
Goaltender Eddie Lack (6-2-0) stopped 24 shots to earn the win.
Left wing Chris Terry opened scoring for the Checkers 12:44 into the first period, tipping a pass from Bobby Sanguinetti past Lack. The Wolves opened the second period with a response as Pinizzotto, who missed the entire 2011-12 season with an injury, got his first score by beating Checkers goaltender Dan Ellis (3-2-1) glove side at 1:04.
Then it was Pinizzotto again, pouncing on another rebound at the foot of Ellis and tipping it home at 12:50. The 2-1 edge was the first Wolves lead through 92 minutes of play in the two-game series.
Zack Kassian tried to increase Chicago's advantage moments later, shooting a puck past Ellis from a scrum in front of the Charlotte net, but the goal was waved off due to goalie interference.
A second near-score by the Wolves, this time from Darren Haydar, was called back late in the third period because of a hand pass.
Charlotte (7-3-0-1) pulled Ellis with more than a minute left in regulation for an extra attacker, but the third period closed without a score and the Wolves carried their 2-1 lead to the buzzer. The Wolves posted a season-high 43 shots as Ellis finished with 41 saves.
Chicago will continue its road swing with an Amtrak Rivalry game at 7 p.m. Friday at Milwaukee. Chicago will be back at Allstate Arena on Saturday, Nov. 17, to host the Peoria Rivermen in an Illinois Lottery Cup game. For tickets, call 1-800-THE-WOLVES or visit ChicagoWolves.com.

This unit provides a comprehensive overview of the economic, social, political and environmental influences upon the evolution, form and dynamics of settlement and cities, which combine to make each urban place distinctive. It provides a foundation in geographic and economic theories that explain the form and distribution of settlement and uses, with particular attention to the forces that can influence urban change or may be harnesses toward pursuing preferred future forms. Particular attention is given to understanding influences including the economics of land development, the relationship between transport (public and private) and land use, investment by public and private sectors, and the influence of creativity, wealth distribution and civic identity upon the form, character, prosperity and equity of cities. This unit has particular relevance for addressing emerging scenarios as contemporary society recognises the prospect of low carbon future, climate change, oil supply vulnerability and demographic changes including ageing and migration. It considers the capacity for - and limitations upon - planning and influencing change outcomes, and the issues surrounding governance and decision-making processes that can guide or modify the processes of urban change, including emerging techniques and innovative mechanisms for more effectively and proactively influencing urban transformation outcomes.

education, discipline that is concerned with methods of teaching and learning in schools or school-like environments as opposed to various nonformal and informal means of socialization (e.g., rural development projects and education through parent-child relationships).
Education can be thought of as the transmission of the values and accumulated knowledge of a society. In this sense, it is equivalent to what social scientists term socialization or enculturation. Children—whether conceived among New Guinea tribespeople, the Renaissance Florentines, or the middle classes of Manhattan—are born without culture. Education is designed to guide them in learning a culture, molding their behaviour in the ways of adulthood, and directing them toward their eventual role in society. In the most primitive cultures, there is often little formal learning—little of what one would ordinarily call school or classes or teachers. Instead, the entire environment and all activities are frequently viewed as school and classes, and many or all adults act as teachers. As societies grow more complex, however, the quantity of knowledge to be passed on from one generation to the next becomes more than any one person can know, and, hence, there must evolve more selective and efficient means of cultural transmission. The outcome is formal education—the school and the specialist called the teacher.
As society becomes ever more complex and schools become ever more institutionalized, educational experience becomes less directly related to daily life, less a matter of showing and learning in the context of the workaday world, and more abstracted from practice, more a matter of distilling, telling, and learning things out of context. This concentration of learning in a formal atmosphere allows children to learn far more of their culture than they are able to do by merely observing and imitating. As society gradually attaches more and more importance to education, it also tries to formulate the overall objectives, content, organization, and strategies of education. Literature becomes laden with advice on the rearing of the younger generation. In short, there develop philosophies and theories of education.
This article discusses the history of education, tracing the evolution of the formal teaching of knowledge and skills from prehistoric and ancient times to the present, and considering the various philosophies that have inspired the resulting systems. Other aspects of education are treated in a number of articles. For a treatment of education as a discipline, including educational organization, teaching methods, and the functions and training of teachers, see teaching; pedagogy; and teacher education. For a description of education in various specialized fields, see historiography; legal education; medical education; science, history of. For an analysis of educational philosophy, see education, philosophy of. For an examination of some of the more important aids in education and the dissemination of knowledge, see dictionary; encyclopaedia; library; museum; printing; publishing, history of. Some restrictions on educational freedom are discussed in censorship. For an analysis of pupil attributes, see intelligence, human; learning theory; psychological testing.
Education in primitive and early civilized cultures
Prehistoric and primitive cultures
The term education can be applied to primitive cultures only in the sense of enculturation, which is the process of cultural transmission. A primitive person, whose culture is the totality of his universe, has a relatively fixed sense of cultural continuity and timelessness. The model of life is relatively static and absolute, and it is transmitted from one generation to another with little deviation. As for prehistoric education, it can only be inferred from educational practices in surviving primitive cultures.
The purpose of primitive education is thus to guide children to becoming good members of their tribe or band. There is a marked emphasis upon training for citizenship, because primitive people are highly concerned with the growth of individuals as tribal members and the thorough comprehension of their way of life during passage from prepuberty to postpuberty.
Because of the variety in the countless thousands of primitive cultures, it is difficult to describe any standard and uniform characteristics of prepuberty education. Nevertheless, certain things are practiced commonly within cultures. Children actually participate in the social processes of adult activities, and their participatory learning is based upon what the American anthropologist Margaret Mead called empathy, identification, and imitation. Primitive children, before reaching puberty, learn by doing and observing basic technical practices. Their teachers are not strangers but rather their immediate community.
In contrast to the spontaneous and rather unregulated imitations in prepuberty education, postpuberty education in some cultures is strictly standardized and regulated. The teaching personnel may consist of fully initiated men, often unknown to the initiate though they are his relatives in other clans. The initiation may begin with the initiate being abruptly separated from his familial group and sent to a secluded camp where he joins other initiates. The purpose of this separation is to deflect the initiate's deep attachment away from his family and to establish his emotional and social anchorage in the wider web of his culture.
The initiation "curriculum" does not usually include practical subjects. Instead, it consists of a whole set of cultural values, tribal religion, myths, philosophy, history, rituals, and other knowledge. Primitive people in some cultures regard the body of knowledge constituting the initiation curriculum as most essential to their tribal membership. Within this essential curriculum, religious instruction takes the most prominent place.
Education in the earliest civilizations
The Old World civilizations of Egypt, Mesopotamia, and North China
The history of civilization started in the Middle East about 3000 bce, whereas the North China civilization began about a millennium and a half later. The Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilizations flourished almost simultaneously during the first civilizational phase (3000–1500 bce). Although these civilizations differed, they shared monumental literary achievements. The need for the perpetuation of these highly developed civilizations made writing and formal education indispensable.
Egyptian culture and education were preserved and controlled chiefly by the priests, a powerful intellectual elite in the Egyptian theocracy who also served as the political bulwarks by preventing cultural diversity. The humanities as well as such practical subjects as science, medicine, mathematics, and geometry were in the hands of the priests, who taught in formal schools. Vocational skills relating to such fields as architecture, engineering, and sculpture were generally transmitted outside the context of formal schooling.
Egyptians developed two types of formal schools for privileged youth under the supervision of governmental officials and priests: one for scribes and the other for priest trainees. At the age of 5, pupils entered the writing school and continued their studies in reading and writing until the age of 16 or 17. At the age of 13 or 14 the schoolboys were also given practical training in offices for which they were being prepared. Priesthood training began at the temple college, which boys entered at the age of 17; the length of training depending upon the requirements for various priestly offices. It is not clear whether or not the practical sciences constituted a part of the systematically organized curriculum of the temple college.
Rigid method and severe discipline were applied to achieve uniformity in cultural transmission, since deviation from the traditional pattern of thought was strictly prohibited. Drill and memorization were the typical methods employed. But, as noted, Egyptians also used a work-study method in the final phase of the training for scribes.
As a civilization contemporary with Egyptian civilization, Mesopotamia developed education quite similar to that of its counterpart with respect to its purpose and training. Formal education was practical and aimed to train scribes and priests. It was extended from basic reading, writing, and religion to higher learning in law, medicine, and astrology. Generally, youth of the upper classes were prepared to become scribes, who ranged from copyists to librarians and teachers. The schools for priests were said to be as numerous as temples. This indicates not only the thoroughness but also the supremacy of priestly education. Very little is known about higher education, but the advancement of the priestly work sheds light upon the extensive nature of intellectual pursuit.
As in the case of Egypt, the priests in Mesopotamia dominated the intellectual and educational domain as well as the applied. The centre of intellectual activity and training was the library, which was usually housed in a temple under the supervision of influential priests. Methods of teaching and learning were memorization, oral repetition, copying models, and individual instruction. It is believed that the exact copying of scripts was the hardest and most strenuous and served as the test of excellence in learning. The period of education was long and rigorous, and discipline was harsh.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Frigid, dense air swirled across much of the U.S. on Monday, forcing some cities and their residents into hibernation while others layered up and carried on despite a dangerous cold that broke decades-old records.
Wind chill warnings stretched from Montana to Alabama. For a big chunk of the Midwest, the subzero temperatures moved in behind another winter wallop: more than a foot of snow and high winds that made traveling treacherous. Officials closed schools in cities including Chicago, St. Louis and Milwaukee and warned residents to stay indoors and avoid the frigid cold altogether.
The forecast is extreme: Wind chills were expected to drop as low as negative 55 Monday night in International Falls, Minn., and rebound to minus 25 to minus 35 on Tuesday. Farther south, the wind chill is expected to hit negative 50 in Chicago and minus 35 in Detroit.
School systems and day cares shut down as a precaution from the Dakotas to Maryland. But whether residents chose to stay home or head outside appeared to have less to do with the mercury and more with conditioning.
Emeric Dwyer of St. Paul wore only a London Fog trenchcoat and light scarf to protect himself from morning temperatures that got down to minus 20 in the Twin Cities. The 30-year-old was just glad his car started.
"It made a grinding noise I never heard before. But it started and got us here. Not too much to complain about," said Dwyer, who is originally from Duluth in the northern part of the state.
"In Duluth it's always cold," he said.
But it hasn't been this cold for almost two decades in many parts of the country. The National Weather Service said the temperature sank to 16 degrees below zero at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, two degrees lower than the record for Jan. 6. Weekend snowfall at the airport totaled more than 11 inches - the most since a February 2011 storm that shut down the city's famed Lake Shore Drive.
In Indiana, where many roads were rendered impassable because of snow and wind, authorities had a simple message: stay home.
"I know the roads look clear, the sun's out and it all looks nice," Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard said Monday. "But it's still minus 40 in wind chill - deadly temperatures. So we want to be very, very careful."
Ballard issued a travel ban for the city, making it illegal for anyone to drive except for emergencies or to seek shelter, until noon Monday. But he wants schools and businesses to remain closed another day until the worst of the severe cold passes.
Much of Indiana was blanketed in about a foot of snow Sunday, and many of the state's schools, businesses and municipal offices were closed Monday. Wind chills through Tuesday could reach 45 degrees below zero, according to the National Weather Service.
The Legislature postponed the opening day of its 2014 session, and the state appellate courts, including the Indiana Supreme Court, said they would be closed.
Many other cities came to a virtual standstill. In St. Louis, where more than 10 inches of snow fell, the Gateway Arch, St. Louis Art Museum and St. Louis Zoo were part of the seemingly endless list of closed facilities. Shopping malls and movie theaters closed, too. Even Hidden Valley Ski Resort, the region's only ski area, shut down.
Further north, those more accustomed to extreme winter weather kept moving, even if just a bit slower than usual.
Between a heater that barely works and the drafty windows that invite the cold air into his home, Jeffery Davis decided he'd be better off sitting in a downtown Chicago doughnut shop for three hours Monday until it was time to go to work. He threw on two pairs of pants, two t-shirts, "at least three jackets," two hats, a pair of gloves, the "thickest socks you'd probably ever find" and boots, and trudged to the train stop in his South Side neighborhood that took him to within a few blocks of the library where he works.
"I never remember it ever being this cold," said Davis, 51. "I'm flabbergasted."
Elnur Toktombetov, a Chicago taxi driver, awoke at 2:30 a.m. Monday anticipating a busy day. By 3:25 a.m. he was on the road, armed with hot tea and doughnuts. An hour into his shift, his Toyota's windows were still coated with ice on the inside.
"People are really not comfortable with this weather," Toktombetov said. "They're really happy to catch the cab. And I notice they really tip well."
In downtown Chicago, a commuter train hit a "bumping post" as it pulled into a station, the second such accident of the day. Metra spokesman Michael Gillis said six passengers were taken to a hospital with minor injuries Monday after the train hit the post at the end of a platform. A less serious incident occurred at the same station around 6:15 a.m., but no passengers were injured.
More than 40,000 homes and businesses in Indiana, 16,000 in Illinois and 2,000 in Missouri were without power early Monday. Indianapolis spokesman Marc Lotter said emergency crews accompanied about 350 people to shelters around the city.
Southern states were bracing for possible record temperatures too, with single-digit highs expected Tuesday in Georgia and Alabama.
Temperatures plunged into the 20s early Monday in north Georgia, the frigid start of dangerously cold temperatures for the first part of the week. The Georgia Department of Transportation said its crews were prepared to respond to reports of black ice in north Georgia.
