This was exactly my take also. I'm still subbed and play now and then. I enjoy the different style of gameplay and like the fact that combat takes timing no matter what class you logged and feel all the classes have a unique way of getting the job done. Graphics and combat animations are my fav to date. Have I found my perfect mmo, no, Frankly I don't care about that. I like different flavors and unlike most I hate to see ttiles do poorly or even fail. I always use the catch phrase "Ford vs Chevy' cause in the mmo community it seems thats what things boil down to.

Really the only thing that stopped me playing TERA more was the character races; they just weren't my type of thing at all. The combat, graphics and sound were all top notch though.

Spot on in my opinion. Combat, animations, graphics were all breakthrough. I didn't feel like I was grinding, I felt like I was fighting.
Main problems were the lack of depth in pve or pvp and limited character development. If they had taken more time to develop the content before launch this could have been a game changer. My slayer was just like every other slayer at end game. Couple that with my friends moving to GW2 and that ended my affair with Tera.
Would go back in a heart beat and sub if I thought they were going to develop the content at a decent pace.

Verb tenses!
Questing like this is very old school and a cheap way of throwing together a leveling experience,it's hardly a good thing. That being said ....
Saying that quick mounting for the sake of making an outdated questing system better is like saying that we should continue using oil driven cars just because we've had so much experience with them. It doesn't matter that it's heating our planet, just as long as it improves travel times for an outdated system.
So really is that something to be proud of? imo. no.
Using highlights like Animations, a single class/trinity system, and WoW style dungeons doesn't really breed confidence that this game deserves the subscription it's asking for notably in 2012.

The Lancer playstyle has significantly changed since about July or August or so, when Resolve (RE) was introduced for both the Lancer and Warrior and "Wallop" and "Backstep" were added to the Lancer arsenal.
The RE system encourages aggressive play and discourages (heh, disables) turtling. making everything so much more engaging and with Wallop soloing is a blast. The Lancer could hit a rough spot around level 40 when mobs started getting significantly higher health and the Lancer would be mana starved. That's no longer the case. Also the early "poke poke poke" Lancer playstyle was alleviated by Wallop. have I mentioned I love Wallop?
Another thing and this applies to any MMO. Group. When you see that guy fighting in your area say hi and toss him and invite. Some say no. But (for me thankfully) most say yes it usually makes for a furn week of buddy leveling.
EME has made a few tweaks over time similar to the insta mount. Yea you'd think it's such a little thing but damn once you have it it's so hard to understand why no one else does the same. Now when you are mounted and approach a node or a climbable vine just pressing the interact button automatically dismounts and startrs gathering/climbing on a single button press. I like that kind of attention to user friendliness.

The strong are sometimes wrong but the weak are never free.
Yeah, the questing got very repeatitive. But the combat is fun. If you try the game you have to play it into the twenties so you get a chance to do the first instance and some bams. they are very fun. Ultimately the best way to play the game is in a group or at least with a partner. Questing goes faster and you can do the bams and instances regularly.
It is also worth pointing out that it can actually be very hard to get a group in the instance matcher as a healer. There are a lot of people playing healers and it is because they are actually fun. You have to position yourself to heal others and have to keep moving to avoid the bosses or bams. Healing plays a lot like dpsing and makes it a lot of fun. I have never see that happen with any other game.
All die, so die well.

Oh you know what. Since the topic is what they got right let's talk about customer Support for a change: this is something I don't think I ever see seriously discussed anywhere that talks about MMO's. It's like it's a given up cause, assumed to be a pointless pursuit.
EME has (to date) in comparison with other games and publishers done an amazing job at customer care. It's pretty unnatural and I'm not sure whether it's part of the company's mission statement, strategy, personnel training or what. But let's put aside the guaranteed discontents you'll always have - in comparison with other companies which are much bigger they treat the customers right. I'd wish this was given greater attention and encouraged among other gaming companies. Good customer care should be a crucial part of an online game.

It's because TERA has progression while you play, of course the combat feels slow at first but once you get more skills, glyphs and movement/attack speed increasing gear, the game gets fast paced especially in pvp. BAMs also start to get faster, especially while enraged at higher levels, always fun to solo IMO.

Also to add to reas' point, EMEs customer service is easily the best in the MMO industry, live service, you open up a window and you're instantly connected with someone who will do things as useless as UN SOULBINDING an item for you so you can put it on another character. That's something i've never experienced before from a company. And they talk to you like a customer, make jokes, even recognize names in your email and you could end up in a discussion about pokemon with them.
I'm one of the few here who still plays TERA here and I look forward to the EME livestreamed battlegroud tournament this weekend.

I think people mistake the animation delay for clunkiness. If you aim a certain direction your going to fire that way. GW2 for example can be really clunky with this due to the fact its 'targetting with skill' mix of odd sorts that makes it a little tricky at times to use skills without having them miss due to the odd angle or other conditions that an aiming system like Tera prevents.

But with Tera you need to plant yourself if you are fighting and that throws people off.

"As you think, so shall you become"
Me and my girlfriend started playing TERA on the 7 day trial and we are having fun. I am playing a Lancer and she is a Berserker.
The questing is normal kill x, fetch x quests, but when your playing with a friend it goes so much faster, dont have problems tackling harder mobs and is just more fun.
I would suggest for solo players to find someone else in the zone your level and team up.
I am very impressed with the Chain Skill system. I love being able to chain my skills together in optimal ways and not having to press 6 different hotkeys to do it.
Graphics are amazing, armor, weapons, scenery all great. Combat is action packed and you feel more connected to your character because your aiming at mobs to kill them instead of auto attacking tab targeting.
Were only lvl 10 so its still "brand new and shiny" but this should keep us happy until Blade and Soul.
We look so forward to GW2 and played for a few months, but it just became boring. We would log in and walk around Lions Arch and look at each other and say "wanna watch TV?"
Guess we really missed mounts and carrots...

They might have got some of this right but this doesn't excuse how bad Enmasse really is as a company.
Remember why I complained so much when I bought the collectors of TERA?
Because I made my account way before the game was ever released I was never required to agree to anything, and when I purchased the game looked in the Manual for an agreement there was a web address that did not take me to the agreement, I know there was a correct one on another link on their page, but assuming I was a dummy I assume there was no agreement.
I also beleived that by buying this game I would have full access to everything in the game including recustomize of characters, I was wrong, instead just after buying the game they told me I had to pay a subscription fee then pay $9.99 USD per character change? Okay I am fine with buying Extra skins, and unlocks, but having to pay $9.99 to change a hair per character, and then change any other little detail on a character no way.
So Paid for one month after got the gold weapon skins then quit the game, I will wait until this game goes Free 2 Play before ever giving it a try again if I do by then there will likely be something else better out than this company.
Also lets not forget how many servers they had on launch I believe it was over 8 servers, and now they got 3 servers?
This is just very pathetic of a game company, and the only way I am going to return or even give this game a try is when they do what is right and give me what I thought I was actually paying for without being mislead by their company in so many ways.
I wish I had the hundreds of thousands of dollars to sue this company in a big court and lived near one I would absolutely do it over their agreement thing. I spoke to friends who are in the legal business, and they advise me based on the physical evidence I have, and the video I made that it is more than enough to go on.
However my point is just do not play TERA as a game, I would stick to games like.
EVE Online, DarkFall, StarTrek Online, and why you may ask?
Because these games give unlimited customizations for free they do not restrict me to anything once I have paid for it the only restriction in EVE is a resulpt but mining 500 million isk for a plex is like the easiest thing that can be done in any MMO.

Craig,I appreciate your post. The reason I bring it up in my life is because I need constant reminding. My own inner condemner and the crap I learned in church needs to be continuously washed in the most rudimenary understanding...radical acceptance. I'm hoping to live in that confidence to where I don't need constant washing, and that I guess is part of the 'perfecting' process. I hope God has bigger things for me once I fully incorporate His love in my life.Giz

40 man roster explanation please
Posted by curt1965 in Blog curt1965, 07 July 2015 · 679 views
Could someone tell me how adding and subtracting players to/from the 40 man roster works? For example- let's say the Twins want to bring up Fryer, and therefore would need to add him to the 40 man. In addition, they DFA Herrmann and remove him from the 40 man. Fryer gets hurt or is ineffective, can they reverse everything in a month or so?

I'd like to see a couple things. I don't see how MOUT would be applicable in this situation, this is going to be vietnam you know. I suspect most of the fighting will be in jungles. But I can see how MOUT would be very useful.
Anyway, I'd like to see a few things...
1) Change the AI targeting system. Right now it's set up so the enemy will shoot at you when they can't see you. Usually another AI, the officer perhaps, can see you, so they'll tell that soldier to shoot you. He sees a yellow box, shoots at the yellow box, and if you're prone and crawling like you should be, he'll hit you. The problem is that he will often hit you through bushes and leaves so you can't see him, but he can still somehow hit you. Anyway, this is a very big downside that has ruined many a mission in OFP for me to the point where I had to fight the enemy in the open to get the job done.
2) Clipping. In OFP now the clipping is horrible. My player gets the shakes when he gets too close to a wall. Enemys can shoot through walls. Players are constantly falling through walls. Clipping is what makes MOUT so horrible. I think if the designers fixed this clipping problem as well as the AI targetting system MOUT would be much better.
This is just the beginning of my laundry list. I think most of these things will be fixed since OFP2 is coming out in a new engine anyway.

Favicons could show some useful information, not just a static image. If you'd like to see the number of unread messages next to Gmail's red envelope, enable "Unread message icon" in Gmail Labs. The feature only works in Chrome and Firefox, but it's not very reliable.
"When you're visiting sites other than Gmail, it's easy to find out how many unread messages are in your inbox by glancing at the title of your Gmail tab or window. However, if you have a ton of tabs open, or if you use Chrome's Pin Tab feature that hides everything except the tab's icon, it can be tricky to figure out without switching tabs," mentions Gmail's blog.
The counter is supposed to show the number of unread messages from the inbox, but it doesn't always work properly.
If you'd like even more features, Lifehacker suggests to use Minimalist Gmail, a Chrome extension that not only adds an unread counter to Gmail's favicons, but it also lets you customize the navigation bar and remove extraneous features like the "invite a friend" box or the cluttered footer.
{ Thanks, Greg. }

Hundreds of Texas A&M students are set to plant thousands of trees at fire-ravaged Bastrop State Park this month.
The Texas A&M Forest Service said in a release Monday that about 800 students will begin planting 30,000 pine seedlings Saturday morning. Their effort will continue Sunday and continue the following weekend.
Aggie Replant, a student environmental organization, will get help from the Texas Forest Service to ensure the seedlings are planted correctly.
The historic wildfires in 2011 claimed 95 percent of the park's trees, destroyed nearly 1,700 homes and burned 33,000 acres.
Six million trees are to be planted in the park over the next several years but it could be at least 30 years before the park's forest again resembles one.

Michael Bisping: Ranger Up has a hard-on for me, uses my limelight to 'sell its shitty t-shirts'
Considering the ugly circumstances in which the "Bisping vs. Rivera" fight ended (more on that here), it should come as no surprise to learn that Ranger Up has unleashed a new offensive against the British banger, who will throw down against former Green Beret Tim Kennedy next month on FOX Sports 1 (details).
See its latest comedic offering here.
As expected, "The Count" was not amused by the "I Am" video spoof, and doesn't appreciate the fact that Ranger Up is trying to piggyback on his stardom to try to "sell a few shitty t-shirts and jeans," less than three weeks out from The Ultimate Fighter (TUF): "Nations" live finale.
From his conversation with FOX Sports:
"If you look at their Instagram account, they have a picture everyday with my face. A stupid pose or something, meant to be funny and they have the hash tag #MeatBiscuit, which I just don't understand at all... They do seem to have a hard on for me. There's the fact that their product is obviously so s--t that they have to latch onto me, a fighter that's got nothing to do with their company, but they've got to latch onto me and take a bit of my star, a bit of my limelight without sounding like an asshole, to try and sell a few of their shitty t-shirts and jeans. I mean if you are bored enough like I am sometimes, you can go on their website and look at their clothing and holy shit, no wonder they're trying to use me to sell some of it, because I don't know who in their right mind would buy any of that shit. It's just fucking awful."

The wait is finally over, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is now available to download from the App Store. The 10th anniversary edition of the game has been revamped for mobile devices and includes high resolution graphics, updated controls and a host of new features.
From the decade of big hair, excess and pastel suits comes a story of one man's rise to the top of the criminal pile. Vice City, a huge urban sprawl ranging from the beach to the swamps and the glitz to the ghetto, was one of the most varied, complete and alive digital cities ever created. Combining open-world gameplay with a character driven narrative, you arrive in a town brimming with delights and degradation and given the opportunity to take it over as you choose.
The game has some nice features for iOS users such as tailored firing and targeting options, customization of user controls, iCloud save game support, huge gaming campaign, support for Retina devices and you can even listen to your own iTunes Playlists while driving around Vice City.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is available from the App Store now and supports the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad. Requires iOS 4.3 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.

Yup. It's all there. Buy it. Now.
Rockstar does it again. Wish I could give this game 6 stars. THE BEST GAME ON iOS - there is NO debate. Cloud saves = amazing. I can save on the cloud save slot on my iphone and resume/load my file on my ipad to pick up where I left off.
The iCloud save spot isn't working for me. When I save a game in that slot on my iPad, it doesn't show up on my iPhone. Both devices are on the same iCloud account, do you have to do anything to get the games to synch across devices?
Exact same is happening to me! Finding it soo annoying! Really wish it would work :/ any ideas anyone?!

Although it seems that guns will remain at the top of every news cycle for months, we will only touch on them briefly this week. Past columns have attempted to make it quite clear that I believe the demagoguery regarding the Second Amendment is just plain asinine. I suppose everyone is entitled to his or her opinion.
I am likewise pleased that so many readers in the Southern coalfields have chimed in with support for what I've written. Most "experts" would not believe there are that many common-sense folks in these parts. The fact is that there are.
* * * * * *
A friend of mine on Facebook bemoaned the deaths of parishioners at a mass last week. He ended it by saying something to the effect, "we may all have to start carrying guns to church!" I would have thought little of my friend's comments. After all, he is a retired state policeman who ends his dialogue each night with, "lock and load, friends."
As an aside (and you will find many asides here, Raamie), I have long wondered why the admonition is to "lock and load." Should it not logically be "load and lock" instead? But I digress (for the folks in Hamlin that means I have strayed from my subject matter).
A few responses soon came to my friend's comment about carrying a firearm to church. The one that grabbed my attention came from the "senior pastor" (I'd hate to meet the JUNIOR pastor, but I digress again) of a local church. He proudly informed the Facebook friend that "everyone is welcome to carry at …." I'm leaving the church name out because Facebook is supposedly private conversation and in the insane hope that there are, in fact, otherwise sane people who are members of this congregation.
When I wrote a follow-up and noted that I strongly disagreed with "packing" into the church building, the senior pastor lectured and then seemed to feel sorry for me and my soul. He basically predicted my journey to the pits of Hell (in a kind, Christian way, of course). Then fellow Facebookers jumped to his defense and the pastor admitted that "at least six" of his parishioners carry guns to church every Sunday.
I attempted to joke it all away by saying I suppose the collection plate is fuller since the members know the preacher has a gun on them as they give. That made matters worse, as the preacher and his minions began to inform one and all of the obvious dangers that somebody could "steal the collection plate."
My word! I basically dropped the discussion at that point, seeing there was no way of injecting common decency and Christian love into the equation. I do wonder, though, if the few hundred dollars that might be dropped into the plate is worth costing anyone his or her life. In my role as director of the Lights of Coonskin at Charleston's Coonskin Park, I can assure you that we would let some looney steal the collection box for the night before we'd shoot him or her. It's just not worth the loss of life.
Can anyone, in good conscience, defend this senior pastor? Or, better yet, can someone get help for his problem? And he definitely has a problem.
* * * * * *
I also did not mention the preacher's name because the only place I have encountered it is on Facebook. But I have it for anyone interested.
* * * * * *
Staying on the subject that I'm going to quickly get away from, gun-lovers have trouble defending the five-year-old's shooting of his two-year-old sister in Kentucky. One friend who supports carrying bazookas into the nearby supermarket, tells me she would NEVER allow a loaded gun access to either of her sons. When I pointed out the Kentucky shooting was another example of a child killing another with what was supposed to be an UNLOADED gun, she was not deterred. (For those in Hamlin, that means she was not swayed by my comment).
Unfortunately, in one of the saddest episodes I know about, this very friend attempted to take her own life with a gun some years ago. She is clearly better now and quite capable of caring deeply for her children. Still, the irony is obvious.
Guns do not kill, the National Rifle Association (NRA) says; people do. And to an extent that is true. But a gun in the hands of a five-year-old is never going to have a good result.
For any would-be robber who needs to know, I do not expect to ever have a gun in my house. I would not want any of my three grandsons to accidentally shoot someone. I will rely on police officers and the military for defense, thank you.
* * * * * *
And I continue to have trouble following the line of logic that the Logab Middle School eighth grader was perfectly within his "rights" when he defied his teacher and insisted on wearing an NRA shirt to class.
Did any of the right-wing, Bible-thumpers notice that it is the dreaded American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) that jumped to the boy's defense? In many cases, that should tell the defenders all they need to know. Get this, folks. THE organization that wants to remove manger scenes from government buildings and schools in December supports this child's right to wear an NRA shirt.
So, all you gun supporters should quickly sign up for membership in the ACLU. While you're at it, perhaps join and get your children pro-Ku Klux Klan shirts. After all, there's a group that supports gun rights all the way.
* * * * * *
Again for those in Hamlin, the previous paragraph was sarcasm. I do NOT advocate membership or support for the KKK.
* * * * * *
I found it interesting, by the way, that Howard Isaacs of Lincoln County asked for Divine intervention in the 2014 election cycle. Isaacs prayed that God would bring "victory" to Republican Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito and the GOP ticket next year. Generally, such invocations as the one given at the Logan Country Club two weeks ago, simply ask for God's blessings. Begging for a win is kind of unusual, in my experience.
* * * * * *
The exciting news last week that Delegate Suzette Raines will run for the state senate in Kanawha County was a glimpse into an election cycle that is sure to be interesting. Kanawha State Senator Brooks McCabe is rumored by most insiders to be giving up his seat next year and Raines is an obviously rising star in the GOP. While Raines will not be just given the position, I would rate her as the early favorite from my vantage point.
* * * * * *
Is it possible that a former Boone County sheriff will challenge Delegate Josh-ua Nelson next year? That's the story I have been hearing with greater volume lately.
* * * * * *
With Erik Wells of Kanawha stepping aside from any plans to run for congress from the Second District, Charleston lawyer Nick Casey appears stronger and stronger in his quest to replace Republican Capito, who is running for the U.S. Senate. One of Casey's goals by announcing early is to dissuade other Democrats from seeking the job.
* * * * * *
State Republican leaders were quick to criticize Governor Earl Ray Tomblin's plan last week to expand the reaches of Obamacare in the Mountain State. State GOP Chair Conrad Lucas came close to blasting Tomblin as an enemy for life when he issued a press release shortly after the governor's announcement.
I quickly called Lucas to razz him about his ripping comments about the governor. I joked with Lucas that I guess we would have to mark him and state Republicans as "undecided" on Tomblin's plan.
After a few chuckles, I reminded Lucas of the story about Kansas Republican Senator Bob Dole who once traveled in his then-congressional district, trying to judge whether he should run for the U.S. Senate.
Dole said he and an aide walked up to one farmer's door. When the man came to the door, Dole introduced himself and said he was his congressman considering a run for the senate.
The farmer virtually exploded. "You are the nearest nothing we've ever had in congress," he told Dole."You've done nothing for the farmer; done nothing to help farm support. You're just a loser. I wouldn't vote for you if you was the only person on the ballot!"
The congressman thanked the farmer and he and the aide started back down the walkway. As they got to Dole's car, he told his worker, "mark that one down as undecided."
* * * * * *
With Bill Cole poised to unseat Democrat Congressman Nick Joe Rahall, I think the really vulnerable seat in congress belongs to First District Republican David McKinley. A solid Democrat candidate will retire McKinley next year.

Comments: You gotta rig one of these as a trailer on a chatterbait style jig.They work great...its one of my go to lures on overcast days in the summer...for big pig smallies on the susquehanna river,PA.
From: Tyler: susquehanna river, PA
Comments: one of the best swim baits I have ever used I put them on my jigs, spinner baits, and Alabama rig and they work great
From: Allen: MN
Comments: I have a good collects of swimbaits. About 70 percent of my swimbait are these guys right here!!! I rigged them on a Owner Stand up jig head. And it is KILLLER! best way to fish this is slow with a few fast burst on the reel. it causes the tail to flow more natural! and gives a fish a good picture of the bait as it moves in for the kill. 10 out of 10
From: Tuan V.P: Los Angeles, CA
Comments: Absolutely great looking swimbait. Swims perfect through the water no matter how fast or slow you reel it. One of the best swimbaits on the market, cant wait till winter to put them on an A rig.
From: Will: AL
Comments: Got the promo pack and the fish went wild the first time i tied one on using an Owner twistlock 5/0 superline hook.2 of us caught 33 in a few hours.The action is great on the fall.As a result i just ordered more.The promo deals should come with every order. Live magic shad works great!!!!
From: Tony: West Chester
Comments: Caught my biggest creek smallmouth ever on the white 3.5" I wish they were not do expensive but The spend 15$ get a pack free is a good deal. I use a 2/0 offset ewg gamakatsu and find that they last a little bit longer than using a 3/0
From: Gary: KY
Comments: Got a free one with my frog trailer hooks. Went out and tried it and caught a 8 or 9 pounder within a few casts. Great action on it, I was fishing it weedless with a 5/0 wide gap hook.
From: Justin: Virginia Beach, VA
Comments: i will let you guys in on alittle secret. Try these working slow on a Carolina rig. Kills on amistad
From: Joseph
Comments: these turn bad days good when the bite gets tough. Incredible action. The hook up ratio is surprisingly good just make sure to use the right size.
Comments: Try these things as a trailer for your 3/8 oz. swim jig. Then run it like a slow rolled spinnerbait low in the cover no added twiches necessary. Oh and before I forget, really hang onto your fishing rod because a careless grip will cost you.
From: L.J.: Sac, CA
Comments: Excellent bait, the swimming action on this is AWESOME. Put it on as a trailer on a Sworming Hornet and you have one killer bass bait. Durability comes into question though because the nose does split when you put it on the Sworming Hornet after a few fish.
From: Andrew: Algonac, MI
Comments: Was trying to figure out what type of trailer to use on an original Phenix vibrating jig in 5/8 ounce. Tried these things and could not get hooked up. Made modification by cutting hook on jig and heating it up to be able to form a closed loop. Through this loop I attached a red 3.0 Gamakatsu spinner bait trailer hook. This really increased the lures activity. Then when I used the magic shad has a trailer.........NIRVANA!! The Big Girls inhale this thing now. So far, 14 pound largemouth from Clear Lake.

Bringing alive an ancient queen. More»
It's been 125 years since Van Gogh's death, today we celebrate his life's work.
5 Ways to See Van Gogh's Irises
Through observations, visitor conversations, and some sneaky eavesdropping, we've compiled the top 5 ways people enjoy this painting.
- In a Crowd
One of the most obvious ways that people see the painting is in a crowd. The gallery is almost always filled, and you might have to wait before you can get up close. The anticipation builds as you start in the back row, and slowly move until you are close enough to see the brushstrokes of Van Gogh's thick paint.
- Online
David from Colorado said that this was his first visit, but he had already seen the painting online. In addition to being available through the Getty's Open Content program, the painting is often seen on social media. Just search #irises on Instagram for a taste of the painting's popularity.
- Alone
If you arrive right at 10 a.m. when the museum opens, the quiet gallery provides a perfect backdrop to really examine the painting. Solitude and seclusion gives the gallery a sense of intimacy.
- Multiple Times
Repeat visits can give rise to multiple interpretations. Is it a melancholy or joyous painting? Expressive or depressive?
- Internationally
Visitors from all across the world viewed this famous Van Gogh. In just one hour you can hear multiple languages—French, Italian, Chinese, Korean, German, and more. Irises seems to rise above cultural boundaries—a Dutch painting inspired by Japanese ukiyo-e prints—to strike an emotional resonance amongst all viewers.
What is your favorite lens to view Van Gogh's work through?

Where is the universal salvation message in the OT? Is there one? Did God just change His mind at some point and decide to do things differently? I had always thought that God is good, and also unchanging - so therefore He has ALWAYS been good.Does anyone have any thoughts on this?Blessings! xo
I would like to admit right now that I have not done a lot of study on the Old Testament, so there are even a lot of stories from it I don't know - but so far what I have read of it has really confused me
WhiteWings, unfortunately the topic link you posted is for some reason "off limits" to me :(
Dallas - I really hear what you're saying. I have been putting off really reading the Old Testament for a long time. I think it's mainly because there's not so much emphasis on it in the church I'm currently at. Also I see it as being so "big" and because it spans over such a large amount of time, I think I get put off because there's just SO much in it
But there is no point in trying to understand anything the bible says unless you have the foundation... In the beginning.

To The Editor:
At the Monday, June 10, Waitsfield Select Board meeting and prior to a Maclay office proposal, the chair made a sudden motion to warn for a bond vote for new town offices on the Farm Stand site. Within 10 minutes the motion had passed and without mention two important opportunities had been lost.
The first opportunity was the public opinion survey launched by the board a month ago. The goal of the survey was to provide reliable information on alternative sites and obtain a townwide response to what people really wanted – prior to a select board decision. The survey committee worked diligently and the survey forms were close to mailing.
The second opportunity, as you might expect, was the Methodist Church and the chance to bring it back into public service within the village center. New offices for the town and the rehabilitation of a major historic building is a win-win situation.
The church opportunity has become more realistic in the past three weeks with architect Ellen Strauss working with me and the Maclay office and offering her concepts for good historic preservation practice. Preserving as much as possible of a building's original fabric saves both expense and historic significance. "Recycling" a whole building is about as green as you can get. The church cost estimates are now down to the same level as the Farm Stand project.
Finally, the opinion survey would have been able to offer a choice between the two major alternatives, at the same price. The public would be able to choose in accordance to location, image, function, long-term value and other factors, rather than money. The church has never been given a fair chance at a townwide vote. The survey would have offered that opportunity.
The federal funding representative gave the board long, cautionary responses to the many questions. So I can understand their getting nervous. Money talks, but I think the big picture is being short-changed.

Ok so my lo likes to sleep, and I'm worried that it's too much. My Public Health Nurse told me the average 6 month old should wake up at about 7:30am have a 20 min nap in the morning, a 2 hr nap in the afternoon and be in bed by 7:30pm. There is noooo way my lo can do this. She gets up at about 8:30am. I'm lucky if i can keep her awake for an hr before she wants to sleep agian.. That's basically our routine. Up for an hour down for and hour all day. Because we sleep in the living room (and my husband works shift work) dd and me usually go to bed at about 10 at night. I'm not sure what to do to help her get into a "normal" routine. I would put her down earlier but she will NOT sleep alone. I wear her for naps to keep her close however it's increadibly challenging because there can be no noise! Any little noise she hears she has to look around to see were it's coming from (she's very curious). Does anyone else have a baby like this? how did you deal with sleep time routine?? What are your routines with your 6 month old??

i'm quite sure your little one did not the read the same manual your public health nurse did. my kids didn't, either. in my opinion and experince, her suggestion that a 6 mo. old should sleep 12 straight hours at nite w/almost 3 hours of naps during the day is abnormal. ds2 has NEVER napped for more than 1 hour, and he's now 2 1/2! each child has their own circadian rhythms. some are nite owls, some are happy nappers. if getting into a regular routine is important to your family, then you can try to establish some regular sleeping, but if her body is not adjusting, it may cause you more headache than anything else. if your family is okay w/her hour on, hour off routine, then go w/it! she won't be doing that when she's 5. i promise!

Yes, I agree with Paxmama.
These generalizations of what a child or baby 'should' do only stress a mama out. There is no general child!
My 6m old would take nap whenever he could get it. His 4yr old brother had a knack for keeping him up!
With any of those things, without other issues in combination, why worry if he is happy and healthy otherwise?

She use to be very happy all the time but lately not so much. For the first 15 min she's happy but within 20min she tired and rubbing her eyes, and nothing will make her happy. She doesn't want on the floor, to be held or any toy that she usually likes. Most times the only way to keep her happy is to put her back to sleep...I'm wondering if it's a growth spurt. A couple of people have suggested an iron deficiency. I've made an appointment with her gp for Oct. 9. I'm just tired of all the comments: "she's tired already!? She just got up?" or "it can't be nap time again, are you sure this is normal?"
I'm also getting a lot of flack that i can't do nothing while she's asleep (as she very curious and want to know what every sound is). I'm stuck in a rocking chair either reading or watching tv. SO the chores get left and my house is a mess. Her sleeping routine is just kind of proving to everyone that babywearing doesn't make my life easier it makes it harder. I guess i'm just feeling frustrated about the situation.

i think you may very well be dealing w/a growth spurt. 6 mos. is prime time for that. try to rest in your mommy instincts, know that YOU know what's best for YOUR baby, let others comments roll off your shoulders. you will find as a mom that there are periods of time when unimportant things like dishes are left to pile up while you attend to the all-important needs of your family. during these times, try to just keep one room straight and spend most of your time there so you don't have to face the mess elsewhere. i assure you, this early baby stage will be gone before you know it and you'll be wishing you could spend your days rocking your baby!
Hi there
Just a suggestion, I may be wrong! I think your daughter isn't get enough sleep overnight and is making up for it during the day. If she is going to sleep at 10pm then she probably needs to sleep until 10am, so yeah 12 hours (even if it's a feed interupted 12 hours like my 12.5 months old daughter still does!). What are your nights like? Do you feed back to sleep on wakings? If so, have you tried feeding back to sleep to resettle at 8:30am to get her to sleep until 10am? Also, it's very hard having a 10pm-10am routine cos by 10am it's too light and noisy outside and that's probably why she's waking at 8:30am and then tired for the rest of the day. If you could do 7pm/8pm-7am/8am it would probably make things easier. Any chance you could go to bed at 8pm?Then all she might need is a 30-45 minute nap about 2 hours after intially waking up in the morning and then another 2 hour nap about 2 and a half - 3 hours after that. So yeah, pretty much what your nurse said. Anyway, may be way off and it might be iron deficiency or something else but just thought I would make another suggestion! Hope your gp appointment helps.Last edited by danandmichelle; 10-05-2008, 05:35 AM.

I agree w/ the pp that you might want to try putting your little one down earlier in the evening and see if it makes a difference. Every family is different, but for us, going down by 7 makes a huge difference.
Both of my children were/are very sound and light sensitive when it comes to sleep. I use blackout shades and then blankets on top of that for windows and use both sound machines and fans to make white noise.
Regarding her sleeping only on you for naps...this is a personal issue for you to decide upon. If you really want or need her to sleep somewhere else (which is a completely okay decision! We all have other things in life we NEED to get done! ) just try wearing her down to sleep (or whatever you normally do to get her asleep) and then lay her down in a very nice sleep inducing environment. She may only sleep for 15-30 min, but eventually, I'd be willing to be that she'll slowly start to sleep longer and longer stretches.
The other thing I was going to ask is do you swaddle or did you ever? Some babies like swaddling well beyond the normal newborn period and it might help for naps....
My 9mo old was very similar to your DD. (Still is in some ways) and there are whole weeks that he only takes 30 min naps all day long. But then there are days where he gets 1 hour naps and the occasional day where he sleeps 2 hours for his morning nap.
Every baby and family are different, but I bet if you play around w/ things a bit, you'll find something that works for both of you.

I've tried going to bed earlier but if my husband is on midnights she will not go to sleep (as we are sleeping in the living room on a single bed, i am hoping to move upstairs soon). She tends to wake up when he gets home. I've started letting her stay up for 10-15 min to play with dad then i nurse her back down to sleep until 10am. I want her to stay sleeping with me. I'd rather not have her sleep away from me. The tenants before us did not take care of bug problems (and our landlord says it's up to us to take care of). It's getting much better but i don't want her sleeping alone ( i guess i'm slightly parinoid now). I doubt she would let me. I've tried putting her to sleep (i'll wait till she's got that limp limb dr. sears talks about) and setting her gently in a "safe" area for her to sleep and she immediatly wakes up and fusses. If it's not quite immediatly (say 1 min) she starts reaching for me in her sleep. When she doesn't find me (i've tired using a shirt with my sent and other devices) she wakes up in a panic screaming and it takes me a while to calm her down. ahhh well i'm sure we'll get it figured out sometime. Is it possible to help her learn to sleep without being parented to sleep. For example if we're sitting in the livingroom and she's tired to lay her head down and fall asleep. My mom tells me my brother was like that. When he was tired he would just fall asleep. My lo needs wrapping, pacing and will only sleep for me. Family is telling me that i've made her dependant on this routine and i need to help her adjust to a different routine. I always thought this was a personality thing. THat she just needs help by being parented to sleep. How do you other mothers feel about this??
Oh my goodness - this sounds just like my little girl! She's about a week older that your little one - born 03'14'08 - but I wore her in a sling for months and she wouldn't nap at all unless I was wearing her or holding her. And then, one day did just what was suggested by bluebonnet - I started putting her down for a nap in her then unused crib. At first, she'd wake up right away. Eventually, she started sleeping for about 20 or 25 minutes. Now, two months later, there are days when she still sleeps less than half an hour at a time. But there are also days when she sleeps for 2 hours - today was one of those blessed days! One thing that might have helped was that before I started putting her in her crib, I would get her to nap by lying down next to her on the bed and letting her fall asleep without my actually HOLDING her. She protested a little bit, but I'd hug her and nuzzle her and she'd realise it wasn't that bad and then go to sleep.
Also, this may be an AP no-no, but can you put her in a stroller and take her for a walk when she's sleepy? (for a while, my back couldn't take the sling) I know she's sound and light sensitive, so's mine, and oftentimes the stroller doesn't work for me at all, but just every now and then, it does and it feels really great to be outside and moving.
I'm also finding that the little ones just figure it out for themselves after a while...

Just clarifying APness,
this may be an AP no-no, but can you put her in a stroller
I would put my first in the stroller after I nursed him to sleep and then pushed him in the house to the room I was in --so he was close by when I was working on something. Now we have 3 strollers, and 6 baby carriers! Including a double stroller! There seems to be a situation suitable for each one too. We are going to the zoo on Sunday, I am definitely bringing the double and the Ergo.
Every parent child pair has constant figuring out to do to be responsive and in balance.....
hmm interesting concepts...i guess more sleep is better than no sleep, but i would definitely recommend asking a doctor to doublecheck if its anything u should worry about!

Our Lady of Good Counsel High School senior Kendall Fuller lagged behind his teammates after the game, his dazzling 75-yard punt return hours earlier a distant memory.
"Captains up front," someone called, arranging for a photo with Good Counsel football coach Bob Milloy, the team's leaders and the Great American Rivalry Series trophy. Just walking those last 15 yards was a challenge for the Fuller, who was bothered by leg cramps, shoulder soreness and a late-game hit to the head.
The picture might have been taken without the slow-moving Fuller — if not for everyone having to wait for him to arrive for his solo photo with the game MVP trophy first.
Fuller, who's committed to Virginia Tech, returned a punt for a touchdown in the first quarter and broke up the potentially game-winning pass during the final defensive stand to lead Good Counsel to a 13-10 victory against DeMatha Catholic on Friday in Olney. On a night most of the 107 offensive plays went for one yard or fewer, Fuller's playmaking ability proved the difference.
"It's huge," Milloy said. "He's our guy. I told them before the game, I said, 'In these kind of games, the special teams usually has something to do with the outcome.' And there it was."
Fuller was one of several Good Counsel players to suffer injuries during the game, including top running back and linebacker Dorian O'Daniel. O'Daniel, who's committed to Clemson, left the game late in the first half with a shoulder injury.
But Good Counsel clawed and survived to hang on after leading 13-3 at halftime.
DeMatha quarterback John Lovett, with his team's pass offense clicking in the second half, threw a 42-yard touchdown to Darryl Turner early in the fourth quarter to cut the lead to 13-10. Facing a third-and-6 from the Good Counsel 15-yard line later in the quarter, Lovett threw to the end zone only for Fuller to break up the pass.
On the next play DeMatha couldn't handle the snap for the game-tying field attempt, and Good Counsel ran out the clock.
Good Counsel has won three straight over DeMatha for the first time in series history, and the game fittingly featured Good Counsel scoring in unexpected ways.
Backup running back Leo Ekwoge ran for Good Counsel's second touchdown shortly after O'Daniel left the game, but Fuller's return stole the show.
Fuller caught the ball — which, according to DeMatha coach Elijah Brooks was supposed to be kicked out of bounds — and, as designed, ran left. But Fuller noticed a crease, cut back and raced up the right sideline to score. It was the type of play he said he'd never made in a game before, which his teammates realized.
"Everybody knows that," Fuller said. "I'm just the type to run forward, not really cut back and make big cuts like that."
Fuller wouldn't declare Good Counsel — ranked No. 1 in the Maryland state poll — the best team in the state after beating No. 2 Gilman, and he's not doing it now after beating No. 3 DeMatha.
"We definitely have the potential, but you can't really talk until after the season," Fuller said. "The streak that we're on right now, we definitely have a good chance."
Perhaps, he has good reason to wait.
"We got them at the end, but I'm almost positive they'll see us back in the championship," Fuller said.
For Brooks, who put a whole lot into this game, a potential Washington Catholic Athletic Conference playoff rematch keeps him going.
"Hopefully we do what we can to make it to the championship," Brooks said. "And hopefully, we win the one that counts."
