I believe that SOE made the mistake of asking a question that they weren't prepared to receive the answers for. I think this is just the one of the first of what will be many mis-steps on the road to launch. (not basing this on past SOE launches, although there are plenty of prime examples there)

I don't think this is a case of SOE not listening to the polls. It seems that some people equate listening to doing exactly what the polls say should happen. I do believe SOE listened to the results, but made a creative decision to go in a different direction. If you read the whole reply you can see where they acknowledge that their own staff was divided and they were aware that the polls came out the way they came out. The reply was very thoughtful and explained some of the reasons they went the route they did. Just because something is possible, does not automatically mean 100% easy mode and all of the players will achieve it. SOE can easily set up a situation that certain conditions need to be met before a certain class can be picked up and that some races will have difficulties in achieving those conditions. All SOE did was open the door to any race being any class, it does not mean that every player will be every class.

While I understand their decision, and though I'd much prefer class restrictions, what kinda irks me is the fact that they asked this question in the first place. They HAD to have known that people would vote for class restrictions. Why set themselves up for a bad PR moment? It was just stupid on their part.

I don't think design by consensus is ever a good idea. It is like building a house and saying "Hey guys do you think we need a beam over here?", don't be surprised when your house falls apart. There is a reason why there are professional designers and architects, they have a vision and they know and understand how all the pieces need to fit together.
It is never a good sign when the people making a game need to be told by regular people how to make it.

I am sorry to see the direction EQN is taking. Massive single player without real consequences or meaningful choices isn't anything "new" - it is the trend now. And it is geared not to the most loyal core following, but instead to grab as much market share as possible. Again, nothing new - one grand IP after another has gone down the spout with this approach.

While I'll agree that race/class restricti9ons are less desirable or even useful in todays mmo's. I'm a bit confused about the whole lets debate/vote ahh never mind thing. Seems rather insulting to me. /shrugs

I never was a fan of class restrictions. I mean, can I just be a baker or a cop because I am a White dude? Why should a race restrict your "job"? It just doesn't make sense. Why should Gnomes or Elfs or Orcs not be capable to do the same stuff?
Maybe a D&D Elf being not so stroung and resilient would have a hard TIME to start as warrior, but with training he could do that! Nobody should hinder you. I mean, hell we have 2013 not 1979, grokk it?
Seriously, don't take game so serious!
I mean we are all here for the fun, so let each have his own vision of a character. EQ2 didn't have class restrictions, and good riddance. EQN has all the reasons behind them, given you don't chose ONE fixed class at start. It's just a RP pet peeve. And there is a simple solution: if you think your Gnome should not be able to play a Paladin... DON'T DO IT. Voila, problem solved. Thank me not.

good thing for devs maybe! players not so much there will be no or less alts alts mean more time spent in the game
its one of the cores of what a rpg is no cool racial abilities....or bonuses
its a bad decision and flys in the face of the round table vote .,,,, much like us elections ignoreing the popular vote it shows us that the roundtable means nothing its just one way to keep the hype up and to keep people interested

Knowledge is the enemy of faith.
They have made their decisions.
The polls and forum discussions are simply designed for marketing to create spin.
EQN is being designed to capture as a large a market of "gamers" as possible. Not MMO Gamers. "Gamers", console included.
Anything that remotely resembles something you would have to read up on, or research; isn't going in this game.
This is the next gen game for WoW and Console Players.
Not RPers. Not mature gamers seeking a deep, immersive experience.
Certainly, not those that played EQ.
And happy days for them, they deserve games too.

Yes, that ideology will continue to be used.
Not even blizzard thought Dwarf warlocks were a good idea for their game.
EQN is more shallow than WoW.

Silly. Where is the point in doing a round table and telling they make a game for "us" or "we all", when the majority is ignored. The round table is nothing but a big round advertising joke.

The other thing that strikes me about this thread is the crying for restrictions to limit choice in a sandbox. There have been people crying alligator tears for a sandbox for years. It seems everyone wants a themebox vice a sandpark. They want the illusion of freedom wrapped in the enigma of an amusement park, dressed in the mystery of player choices matter. In other words, a themebox version of GW2. Make us think it's not a Themepark by making minor tweeks to what we are bored of and tell us we have freedom when we really don't. Lead us by the nose from place to place but don't make it look like we are mindless lemmings.
Are there going to be choices that make people scratch their heads and ask wtf was someone thinking in a sandbox? You bet, but if you really want the freedom that is supposed to be in a sandbox, then you have to allow for the choices some will make. Otherwise it will be a themebox.

EasyMMO gameplay wins over lore and any sort of rational behind what a class is meant to be.
So you have to ask yourself why have the round table when they already have decided the answers? Going down the ezMMO route is not new, so their decision to do this was no doubt made ages ago.
The roundtable like so many of these attempts to make it seem like players are inputting to a MMO is an exercise in finessing the player community. By this I mean they know those that go on forums and the like want to feel their views are known, we liked to think the devs are listening to us. But the baulk of the player base does not even go on the forums and it is those that the MMO companies want to pander to.
Whenever the roundtable or its equivalent says one thing but market research disagrees, they will go against the roundtable. The majority even if they say nothing are catered for. That's right, a lot of this is about what it is assumed the majority want, remember these game hopping guys don't even bother to answer polls or whatever.
But MMO companies feel the need to finesse those who will take part in discussions about the game. In this case 6 thousand or so players who posted about class restrictions. So they get some 'plurality' bullshit straight out of the PR department. They do get told some of the real reasons in the video, but then that brings us back to why have the roundtable? Those are stock reasons, they were never going to make any other decision.
In fact if you add together those that wanted class restrictions with those that wanted some for replay ability that's 54%, a majority even by SOE's rigged system. But this is not about what the forum posters want, so it is hardly surprising it did not go that way.
When they did the Guns and Ninja's post some 47% gave a straight no. But as the other answer is not just "yes" they can play the plurality card again. So 47% of players ignored and there will be guns and versions of ninjas in game. Want to stop EQNext having everything and anything they think will scrap in a few more players? Well you can piss off as far as they are concerned.
So is the roundtable worth taking part in? Well, there are questions where I think the answer was not decided like beards on female dwarves. But that is all they are going to listen to, anything that effects easymode gameplay and WoW template is set in stone already.

"When we started developing the game, we realized we wanted to create a situation where our players were never forced to make a decision that they would later regret based on knowledge they didn't have at that stage in their careers."
Hey, I know, why don't you show them the information during character generation? Duh. Ogre - Big and dumb, they'll never make a good wizard, too clumsy to be a rogue, but they're great at breaking bones. Ta da! Now they have the knowledge!
"DnD was the model for all MMOs then and it made sense at the time to adhere to as many of the conventions presented as possible."
It's not the model for all MMO's, it's the model for all RPGs. You can't redesign what's already been perfected. There might be hundreds of different types of cars, but they're all cars. You take out the base design and you're left with the Sinclair C5 (look it up!). RPG's have always had the base design of race/class because it works, it gives people direction and allows them to focus their mind on an idea. There's a reason modern MMO's are failing; they lack that focus and direction, it's all so 'wishy washy', nothing really matters, you're just an object following a story.
EQ Next is going down a very bad path. It looks more console than any other MMO I've seen, which is really sad considering I was birthed from the original EverQuest. EQ2 was a let down, EQ Next looks like the nail in the coffin.

I think they are making a mistake by going against the community like this. It was a solid Majority not a plurality that wanted class restrictions.
See what they did there. They split the vote as those options should be added together to make 54% in favor of race restrictions. That is such complete and total dishonesty right there. That is a great way to start your game by rail roading more than half your community.
This just proves that Round Table nothing but PR with all real design decisions already made. Hey folks your opinion does matter we were just trying to build hype.
Personally I think they should go with soft restrictions. Nothing is stopping you from making a Fae berserker or an Ogre mage but there should be some penalties for making such a decision. Or at least have a trade off in stats. The little Fae can't use all the weapons because they are too big and too heavy or an Ogre mage can't use all the spells because they are too dumb. I think the old D&D logic should apply. One races' dagger is a another races' two handed sword. Balance it with weight restrictions and dexterity penalties. Over burdened with weight then wear less armor if you want to use a giant sword. This game should promote experimentation with builds like D&D did. Sandbox isn't just about world design. It is about class design as well.
STOP making every decision to placate min / max power gamers. Those people are a poison to the community and yet they always get their way. It is because of them we see mechanics that support little pocket knives doing more damage than a greatsword or huge axe. Lets at least have some pretense at realism before going completely off the wall.

UFC on FOX 5: MacDonald Dishes Out Words for War Against BJ Penn | UFC NEWS MMA News | Mixed Martial Arts | UFC News | BJPenn | MMA Fight | UFC Fights
The anticipation continues to rise as we approach the December 8th return of The Prodigy BJ Penn. Standing opposite of Penn in the UFC octagon on that upcoming December night will be the rising Tri-Star gym standout, Rory Ares MacDonald. The fight, which will be featured on the main card of the upcoming UFC on FOX 5 event in Seattle, Washington, will be a battle of old school vs. new school as Penn will be playing the role of the experienced and battle-tested vet looking to tame the young, fiery stallion in MacDonald. Both men knowingly admit that they will have their hands full on the 8th but MacDonald recently had the opportunity to let his feelings toward Penn and the fight be heard on a larger stage as he took questions from the media and fans at the UFC 154 Q&A.
When asked about Penns training and his mindset toward this fight MacDonald made it clear that he doesnt care what kind of BJ Penn steps in to the cage that night because he is going to fight him the same way regardless of how prepared Penn is.
Rory also spoke about the all around skill-set that he and Penn posses. Although Penn clearly has the experience advantage coming into the fight Ares still feels that he has sharper tools than Penn in every position of the fight game. He made it very clear that he is not afraid to fight Penn from anywhere.I dont really care, I just see a body in front of me to tell you the truth. It doesnt matter if hes in shape or not. Its gonna be best for you guys if hes in shape, cause it will probably be a better fight, MacDonald explained.
He continued by stating, I feel Im a better striker, a better wrestler and better on the ground as far as MMA jiu-jitsu. Probably not straight jiu-jitsu because we all know what hes done there, but I feel in a straight mixed martial arts fight, Im a little more well rounded than he is.I just think that Im a better fighter. Im not really scared to fight him anywhere. Hes obviously very good on the ground, and a good striker; you have to be competent in all areas of mixed martial arts, and I am, MacDonald said.
Interesting thoughts considering Penn has been in the game much longer than MacDonald and has almost twice as many fights. Still, it seemed the confidence Ares displayed during the press UFC 154 Q&A continued to grow as he spoke with the fans and media. He even explained some things about Penn that were annoying to him, such as the VADA testing that he and BJ are participating in prior to their fight. When asked about how the testing or even the comments Penn was making affected him MacDonald explained that he doesnt let those things bother him and could care less about the head games BJ is trying to induce.
Hes got a lot of excuses that guy. He likes to start (expletive); he likes to get people excited. I dont really think about it too much. He asked me to do the VADA random testing and I accepted it, MacDonald explained. Ill prove to him that Im a clean fighter. At the end of the day, he can say whatever he wants to say, get people excited, but Im still going to beat his ass.

Just my worth but I believe it was when Jesus said "into thy hands I commend my spirit."
Hows that for a confusing topic title Just from an article I remember.I was looking into 3 days and 3 nights in the grave. That just doesn't fit when using Friday as crucifixion day.So I started looking around for the 'solution'. (actually found it; but that's not what this question is about)We all know the body of Jesus died on the cross.But some claim His spirit died at the moment of betrayal. No more wise words from that point because the link with Father was broken. Jesus was spiritually dead at that point.Comments?
Along these lines pertaining to the cross WhiteWings, He showed me that He went to the cross internally before He ever went to the external one, as the body (natural) can only do what it sees it's Head (Spirit) do. Blessings....

Tell us about yourself!
"not just a kids book"
When I bought this story and then heard the "Audible Kids" intro I thought I'd really screwed up but; NO It's great! Just cut out the swearing and sex and it's just like any other Hiaasen tale; riveting, funny and satisfying with no loose ends! It was great!
"Narrator was great!"
I loved Ed Asner's narration; it was like listening to a beloved grandpa tell a story. The story, on the other hand was mediocre. It was well-written and somewhat engaging, but I found my mind wandering. Also, I was constantly adjusting the volume on this book (something I don't need to do on other Audible downloads). All in all, it wasn't a terrible listen, but I sure wish I'd downloaded it from the library for free instead of using a credit.
"Voice not clear"
Unfortuantely this is hard to make out some of the words, as the reader's voice is sometimes not very clear. Too bad. I really wanted this for my daughter, but it's not worth it.
"Scat could have been better"
What would have made "Scat" better? A different narrator. Ed Asner varies from totally unintelligible to very nice. Unfortunately when he is narrating and in his own voice, he is barely understandable. Honest to God, I thought many times he was drunk, but he seemed to sober up as the book progressed. It's no "Double Whammy" but it's still worth a listen. Let's have a different narrator next time though!
This was a very predictable story. Interesting but a bit too long. What really made it very hard to finish was the terrible narration, sometimes garbled, too loud, too fast and with horrible voice changes for each character. After many attempts to finish, I did reach the end. Another narrator would have made a better book and a much easier listen.
The narration was totally unintelligible at times. There were periods when I thought I was listening to a fair book but the event was lost when the narrator (attempted) to change to a low growl type of character voice which I just could not understand. I was really disappointed with this "listen" which was written by one of my favorite authors. And where did the audible "kids" books come from??? Buy at your own risk!!! You will most likely be disappointed.
"Should Have Read the Reviews first"
I didn't realize it was a kids book - I didn't see any indication of it in the "blurb". Ed Asner was a terrible narrator.
"Loved it"
I have been a reader and fan of Carl Hiassen's books for many years and had been somewhat disappointed in his books for teens. I was reluctant to purchase this one prior to a family road trip, but am glad I did. It was by far his best book for young adults. His characters were quirky and memorable and Hiassen's prose caused both my 13 year old and 15 year old to laugh out loud (no easy feat). As lifelong residents of rural Florida, we could easily identify with his environmental message. We loved it.
"good book, bad reader"
The book itself is very very good. The narrator....well, that's another story. He sounds like he's just had multiple shots of novocaine (or vodka). With so many great readers around, why this one?
"Good story, however..."
Unfortunately, Mr. Asner does not speak clearly enough to make this an enjoyable listening experience.
"Maybe not the author's greatest work"
I'm a great fan of Carl Hiaasen, having stumbled across his books by accident in my local li library. "Scat", like "Chomp", is aimed at younger readers, but although I (an adult) really enjoyed "Chomp", this book left me slightly lukewarm. The story doesn't really have the pace of other books by the same author, and seems to lack some of the quirkiness and humour I've come to expect. Sadly, the pretty lacklustre performance by the narrator, Edward Asner, does nothing to help it along - I found that I had to rewind repeatedly because I lost interest and my mind started to wander while I was listening to the book.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by ShabbyGypsyCowgirl Oatmeal is not as pictured Bought all 4 colors. The oatmeal is not as pictured at all. It is not ivory or beige. The color is more like a camel brown(gold) with ivory yarn intermittenly. Across the toe is a orange band and the ruffle at teh top is ivory. Nothing like what is pictured on the model. All the other colors are as described. Love the socks. They are stretchy and soft. Feels good on and will be a warm sock for the fall and winter. Not real think but not a thin sock either. I would call it a medium thickness. FP staff you need to show the correct color as what I got was not.. On the sock package the color reads as beige but not beige but a golden camal brown. The sku is 25614405 FRE 91268 0025614397 024 0000 EDP: 8143 23804 0164 024 0000 Heathered Highland B. I wrote this so FP staff could investigate and for anyone else who gets the oatmeal color if the item numbers match mine or if you get the right color as shown on the model if you could post the numbers on the package. SO others will know. BUYER BEWARE, OATMEAL IS NOT AS PICTURED BUT A CAMEL GOLDEN BROWN COLOR!! 7.28.2012

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Laurelskye Comfy Bought these to go with some of my ankle boots and they are the perfect height. I bought two pairs of heather black and two of tan. Glad I got them. they are also comfy for just padding around the house too. 2.17.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by myfawnee Fun Boot Socks! I love these socks... I got them in the dark purple color (no longer online), and they are very easy to pair with any boot, or high-top sneaker (I wear them with brown lace-up boots). They are different from other socks out there because the lace detail on the top adds a little more femininity. I was surprised that they were 100% acrylic because when I put them on, they felt like a soft non-itchy blend of wool... I never want to take them off! I am very pleased, and I would highly recommend these fun socks. :) 1.26.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by kirsten_elise cute boot socks! love these! wish i had bought them in every color. i bought the black ones, and they are so warm and cozy! the lace makes them super cute. they run tts. i wear an 8.5 and they fit just fine. 1.14.2013

I'm not a vegetarian, but I eat animals who are.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I eat animals who are.
Groucho Marx
Back to top.
Remember the first time you came home for a holiday from college? Your mom had a good home-cooked meal of tofu, kale, asparagus, and quinoa waiting for you on the table, right? Maybe not. Odds are it was a giant meaty-meat fest with a side of meat. We're Americans, so eating meat is what we do, right?
Again, maybe not. According to a Vegetarian Times study, as of 2008 there were 7.3 million vegetarians in the United States, and 22.8 million more people who follow a "vegetable-inclined" diet, which raises the questions, "How the heck do they do it?" and, perhaps more importantly, "What do they do for holidays?"
That's what we're here to discuss today. What is a vegetarian diet? Does it mean you have to survive on sprouts and wheat grass? Why would anyone choose to give up bacon? And if you were to choose a "greener" diet, could you get the kind of body you're aiming for and still be healthy? Let's find out.
Vegetarians follow a plant-based diet, including but not limited to fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds, and maybe dairy products and eggs. Generally, they do not eat meat. That includes red meat, game, poultry, fish, and shellfish. The simple way to look at it is that vegetarians don't consume anything that has an eyeball.
There are several degrees of vegetarians, ranging from the completely observant vegan, who eats no animal products, including eggs, dairy, honey, or gelatin (and in many cases doesn't wear leather, silk, or wool), to the far more liberal pescatarian, who includes eggs, dairy, fish, and/or seafood in their diet, but no other meat. Somewhere in the middle is the ovo-lacto vegetarian, whose diet can include eggs, dairy, and honey, but no other animal products.
Why would anyone ever give up a "Royale with cheese" (as John Travolta called a Quarter Pounder® in Pulp Fiction)? Well, it might make you a heck of a lot healthier. Most vegetarians have lower cholesterol levels than their omnivorous counterparts do, because dietary cholesterol only comes from animal-related sources. Vegetarians with diabetes also tend to manage the disease, and studies have proven that a combination of a low-fat vegetarian diet and exercise can sometimes reverse type 2 diabetes.1 A study in England has shown that vegetarians are about 40 percent less likely to develop cancer than meat eaters are,2 and Harvard studies that included tens of thousands of people have shown that regular meat consumption increases colon cancer risk by roughly 300 percent.3 And beyond the health benefits, there are social, ethical, economic, religious, and philanthropic issues to be considered.
As easy as it may seem to just exclude certain things from your diet, vegetarians should avoid trying to subsist on French fries and waffles. A lot of nutritional deficiencies are blamed on removing meat from the diet, but most of these can also be attributed to populations that consume a lot of processed foods. If you want to be a healthy vegetarian, here are some things to keep an eye on:
One of the great things about being a vegetarian in 2011 is that vegetarian foods are much more readily available than ever before. Most local health food stores carry some form of freshly made meals, or at least the ingredients to create your own. And should you want to spend time in your kitchen, there are hundreds of amazing cookbooks available. Here are a few of my favorites.
The Moosewood Restaurant--Cooking for Health: More Than 200 New Vegetarian and Vegan Recipes for Delicious and Nutrient-Rich Dishes, by the Moosewood Collective.
The Gate Vegetarian Cookbook: Where Asia Meets the Mediterranean, by Adrian and Michael Daniel.
The Real Food Daily Cookbook: Really Fresh, Really Good, Really Vegetarian, by Ann Gentry.
The Rancho La Puerta Cookbook: 175 Bold Vegetarian Recipes from America's Premier Fitness Spa, by Bill Wavrin.
The Everything Vegetarian Cookbook: 300 Healthy Recipes Everyone Will Enjoy, by Jay Weinstein.
The Get Healthy, Go Vegan Cookbook: 125 Easy and Delicious Recipes to Jump-Start Weight Loss and Help You Feel Great, by Neal Barnard and Robyn Webb.
The Lowfat Jewish Vegetarian Cookbook: Healthy Traditions from Around the World, by Debra Wasserman.
For many people, the idea of giving up a juicy steak for a lifetime of seitan seems strange. But as Robert Cheeke, the well-known vegan bodybuilder, once said, "The standard diet of a meat-eater is blood, flesh, veins, muscles, tendons, cow secretions, hen periods, and bee vomit. And once a year during a certain holiday in November, meat-eaters use a hollowed-out rectum of a dead bird as a pressure cooker for stuffing. And people think vegans are weird because we eat tofu?" While his choice of words is admittedly pretty gross, his point is clear: We often blindly follow trends instead of keeping our focus on healthy lifestyle options, especially food-related ones, that are perfectly natural. Deciding to eat in a way that's not only healthy but more sustainable for the planet shouldn't result in being labeled as a freak.
To help you attempt a greener diet, here's a colorful recipe that would look fantastic on anyone's table, for a holiday or any day.
Quinoa, a delicate grain with a texture similar to that of couscous, cooks up in just 15 minutes. It's a complete protein that's nutritious and tastes great.
Place quinoa in a large saucepan; add enough salted water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 16 minutes. Drain. Chill until cool. Meanwhile, combine spinach, garbanzos, cucumber, tomatoes, mint leaves, and half of the feta cheese in an extra-large bowl. Add cooled quinoa and toss gently to blend. Whisk vinegar and paprika in small bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Season dressing with salt and pepper. Pour dressing over salad; toss to coat. Season with more salt and pepper. Sprinkle remaining feta over salad and serve. Makes 8 servings.
Total Preparation Time: 40 minutes.
Cooking Time: 15 to 16 minutes.

Garlic has long been touted as a super-healthy food, and there are many groups, fan clubs, festivals, restaurants, and even the whole town of Gilroy, California, devoted to this beloved "stinking rose." It's also supposed to ward off vampires, but let's leave that for the Twilight set. We here at Beachbody® are just interested in the basic nutritional facts, ma'am, so I've delved into the spicy world of garlic to find out why, in addition to being a vital part of good cooking of all kinds, it's so good for you nutritionally. Here's what I learned.
Nutritionally speaking, you'd need to eat several cloves of garlic before you started seeing a lot of vitamins and minerals. Three cloves give you 5 percent of your vitamin C and 6 percent of your vitamin B6 for the day, as well as some calcium and manganese. The big benefit, however, comes in the form of sulfur-containing compounds—this translates into antioxidants—which help scrub your system clean of various destructive agents, including those that may cause cancer. There have been a variety of large-scale studies conducted in the last few decades, examining between 20,000 and 40,000 patients over a span of several years, which have concluded that the regular consumption of garlic—whether in raw/natural form or the much more socially acceptable odorless capsule form—has been shown to reduce stomach and colon cancer, as well as other forms of cancer, by 35 to 40 percent.1
Allicin is the main player among these sulfur-containing compounds; it's what gives garlic not only its (in)famous odor, but also many of its beneficial, healing properties. Allicin and garlic have been studied extensively, and are shown to have definite antimicrobial, antifungal, and antibacterial properties. It's also had a history of being used as a vermifuge, or antiworm medication. Additionally, according to some studies, regular consumption of garlic (at least a few cloves a day) has been shown to reduce high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart disease. Although there are other studies showing no significant results, all agree that there's no harm in consuming all the garlic you want—until you breathe on someone who isn't a fan of the stuff.
In addition to the scientific studies, volumes of anecdotal evidence point to garlic as one of nature's most effective healers. From eating it raw to using garlic poultices on everything from boils to poison ivy to acne, hundreds if not thousands of Web sites, published books, and advice columns are devoted to explaining all the ways garlic can be used to heal whatever ails you. However, it's almost universally agreed that cooked garlic won't have the same healing properties—it's gotta be raw and reeking in order to work its magic.
My own informal poll of several dozen people revealed that a good 90 percent firmly believe in the healing properties of garlic. At the first sign of a cold or flu, true believers chop up a few cloves of fresh raw garlic and hastily proceed to consume said healing remedy within a few minutes. (These same believers insist that the garlic must be chopped, sliced, or crushed to release the healing properties of allicin and other nutrients.)
And while your Western doctor may not advise you to take two cloves and call him in the morning, the East has embraced the healing properties of garlic for thousands of years. Traditional Chinese medicine recommends it as a cure for everything from dysentery to whooping cough.2
Because raw garlic can be so overpowering in both taste and odor, there are a number of creative ways to consume it without experiencing the burning-tongue torture that can result from eating it straight. Mixing a fat dollop of crushed garlic into guacamole or salsa seems to be pretty popular; placing thin slices of the stinking rose between slices of an apple is a bit more innovative. (The sweetness of the apple tastes surprisingly good paired with the pungent garlic.) Mixing coarsely chopped garlic into peanut butter just sounds flat-out gross to me, but that's another popular option. The one thing most people do agree on is that once "treatment" has begun, it's best to try to stay away from other people, as massive garlic odor will be fuming out of not only your mouth, but every other orifice and pore of your body as well. As one garlic fan put it, "It's best to do a garlic treatment along with your partner, or whoever is going to be around you the most. Otherwise, it's like you have a garlic force field surrounding you—no one can get too close!"
Of course, you could just go to any health food store, or even the health aisle of your local market, and buy the stuff in pill form. No muss, no fuss, and perhaps best of all, no impenetrable wall of stink! There are many popular garlic supplements on the market, with varying dosages—it's best to experiment and adjust your intake to whatever feels right. Generally speaking, a bottle of 60 capsules with 600 to 900 milligrams of allicin per capsule will typically set you back somewhere between $5.00 and $10.00.
Paul Pitchford, author of Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition, suggests taking the highest dosage recommended on the label of whatever brand you choose. Indeed, there's no danger of overdosing on garlic or garlic extracts, and if you're probably already aware if you have an allergy or sensitivity to garlic. Most sources suggest that you shouldn't consume a huge dose of garlic on an empty stomach, as it can sometimes cause a bit of irritation—it is quite spicy in all its raw loveliness. Most supplements have an enteric coating, which means that even if you do take them without food, your tummy will be safe.
So, again, see for yourself how garlic does or doesn't work in your life. For those with garlic allergies, most research tends to show that the allicin content in supplements and other garlic extracts doesn't have the same possibly negative effects that raw garlic would have. As always, consult your doctor or medical practitioner regarding any potential reaction you may have to garlic or allicin. And if you get the green light, give this fascinating and historically favored natural benefit to good health a shot.

KidsPeace is totally
committed to implementing the Sanctuary Model at all levels of care, with
implementation beginning in residential programs in Pennsylvania. Sanctuary is
a model of trauma-informed care and organizational change that is important to
the care and treatment of all clients. The Core Team for Sanctuary at KidsPeace
numbers 37 members and includes seven subcommittees (called "Action Groups"),
which address different aspects of Sanctuary at KidsPeace.
The Sanctuary Institute in
New York has developed a certification process, which includes a published list
of standards that need to be met in order to be certified. KidsPeace is working
toward SI certification in 2012. The certification process is lengthy and
culminates in representatives from the Sanctuary Institute spending several
days at our site reviewing records and practices, observing the daily
functioning of all departments of the organization and interviewing staff,
administration and clients.
What is the Sanctuary
Sanctuary represents a
trauma-informed method for changing an organizational culture in order to
provide an ideal therapeutic environment for everyone who is a part of that
environment. This model reflects the understanding that trauma can be
experienced by all members of an organization, staff and clients, and that the
agency as a whole is dynamic and can be negatively impacted by experiences
within the organization. Thus, Sanctuary seeks to create a culture of physical,
psychological, social and moral safety for all who are part of the
The Aims
of Sanctuary:
Increased perceived sense of
community through the creation of a nonviolent environment
Increased degree of "social
immunity" to the spread of violence
Increased capacity for "social
Increased democratic
decision-making and shared responsibility in problem-solving and conflict
Ability to deal with
Opportunity for all clients
and staff to experience a truly safe and connected community
Opportunity for troubled
clients to have corrective emotional, relational and environmental experiences
Reduced episodes of violence
including verbal, physical and sexual forms of harassment, bullying and
violence on part of staff and clients
Reduced critical incidents
Improved job satisfaction
Reduced staff turnover
Improved client satisfaction
The promotion of collective
recovery, healing and growth.
The goals
of Sanctuary are to guide an organization in the development of a
trauma-sensitive culture with seven dominant characteristics, all of which
serve goals related to trauma resolution and model good relational and
parenting skills. These are known
as the Seven Commitments:
o Commitment to Nonviolence: to understand what
different forms of violence do to children and adults
o Commitment to Emotional Intelligence: to promote an
increase in emotional self-awareness
o Commitment to Social Learning: to promote a
therapeutic teaching and learning environment where we learn from past
o Commitment to Shared Governance: to develop a
community of shared decision-making and discussion
o Commitment to Open Communication: to be courageous
enough to speak openly, honestly and respectfully, in order to resolve problems
in a supportive manner
o Commitment to Social Responsibility: to develop a
therapeutic community of justice, fair play and responsibility
o Commitment to Growth and Change: to help develop a
community of creativity, imagination and hope for a better future.

The King James Southern Exposure tournament is entering its third year at Riverview Park Activities Center, as well as other CSRA facilities including Patriots Park in Columbia County.
Rick Meyer, director of Parks and Leisure Services, said the tournament is an NCAA certified event during the live period. This means that college coaches are allowed to attend and evaluate players.
The Southern Exposure event should draw in excess of 100 teams to the CSRA April 25 to 27, and that means economic impact to our area, he said. One of the main reasons the tournament has landed in our area is from the success of the Nike Peach Jam and the quality of the Riverview Park Activities Center facility and surrounding area gyms.
The tournament will consist of players and teams 15U-17U and very good skill levels, according to Meyer.
Most of these players will be recruited to play college basketball with a good majority of them being D2 players to D1 mid-major level, he said. There will be a handful of very good teams that consist of D1 talent and may include some individual players that we might see at the Nike Peach Jam in July.
The coaches attending this tournament will be mostly from the Southeast region of the country, whereas the Peach Jam attracts coaches from all around the country. Also, with so many high quality facilities in the CSRA, it has made North Augusta a very attractive spot for tournaments such as this.

Do you want karate? - Burglar falls to karate expert. MMA Expert?
Burglar falls to karate expert
Saturday, October 27, 2007
By Jonathan Vit
WEST DEPTFORD TWP. When Rusling P. Cauff eyed a Chevy pickup truck parked outside a Meadow Croft Road home early Friday morning, he didn't know that its owner was a karate instructor with 12 years of experience under his black belt.
He found out soon enough.
Phil Beasley, 33, woke up shortly before 4 a.m. Friday when he heard a noise outside his bedroom window, his wife, Melanie Beasley, said.
Heading outside to investigate the noise, Beasley must have spooked Cauff.
Cauff ran, Melanie Beasley said, and her husband who teaches martial arts at Golden's Karate in Woodbury sprinted after him, grabbing the man and putting him in a chokehold. Melanie Beasley says the man was trying to rip the radio out of the couple's pickup truck.
Police arrived to find Phil Beasley wearing only a pair of gray sweatpants sitting on Cauff's back and twisting his arm, pinning the man to the ground by holding one arm behind his back.
Officers said later that Cauff had apparently broken into three other vehicles in the same neighborhood and may have stolen at least $40, an iPod, an iPod docking station and a radar detector before Phil Beasley grabbed him.
According to Melanie Beasley, who watched the scuffle from the bedroom window, Cauff passed out but regained consciousness less than a minute later only to lose it once again, choked in another of her husband's powerful holds. Awaking a second time, Cauff found himself lying on the front lawn of Beasley's home, trapped by the karate master in what police called a "submission hold."
"It was crazy," she said. "I woke up at 4 a.m. to the sound of my husband screaming my name from outside," yelling that he had caught a burglar who was breaking into one of the couple's vehicles, she said.
"This is a very odd story," remarked Chief of Police Craig Mangano. "Usually, when you get calls like this, people hear or see something and they call it in. You don't get a lot of calls where a homeowner subdues the burglar."
Although Mangano in no way suggests that other residents attempt to stop a suspicious person themselves, Beasley's actions did result in the arrest of Cauff and an alleged accomplice, Kennedy K. Blevins, 41, of Camden, who was spotted driving around the neighborhood.
Both were charged and lodged in the Gloucester County Jail.
"We do not recommend (that) someone attempt this," Mangano said, although he did acknowledge "an outcome where no one was seriously hurt."
Melanie Beasley said her husband, a computer programmer, has been practicing karate for the past 12 years but never had an opportunity to use his training until Friday morning.
"It's just a quiet suburban neighborhood," she said. "The fact that our bedroom window faces the driveway and he is a very light sleeper led him to catch the guy."
LOL @ Saturday, October 27, 2007
So the karate guy used a choke, takedown AND arm lock! What submission chain do you think he used?

No doubt he was only using the submission holds that were hidden in his katas by the ancient Okinawan masters who invented them. I just want to know why we only get the abridged version of the story. Since a karate guy can't possibly strike first and retain his honor, they're clearly leaving out Cauff's initial lunge punch when they tell us the story of the fight.

Yesterday I suggested some ideas to keep your passwords secure. In the comments, Thunder Rabbit pointed to a very simple solution to generate secure passwords, without having to remember them. SuperGenPass is a bookmarklet (a bookmark consisting mostly of JavaScript code) that uses a master password as a seed to create passwords for different sites. The nice thing is that the script generates the same password for a domain, but the process is unidirectional: you can't obtain the master password from a generated password. It's also cool that your master password is not stored anywhere (unless you want it to be stored in the bookmarklet).
If you decide to use this solution, you'll have to change your passwords for each site where you want to use passwords generated by SuperGenPass. You can first try it with an unimportant site to see if you like it. Also you'll have to stop storing passwords in your browser or other password managers.
How will you use it?
* type the username and the master password when you log in
* click on the bookmarklet [extra-click]
* click on "Populate" [extra-click]
* submit the form
So two extra-clicks, no required software, no stored password and just a bookmarklet that could be easily stored on a USB drive (there's an alternative page for mobile phones). And, best of all, you can use a single password for all the sites that need one.

This was discouraged because it can cause problems elsewhere. A better solution was to put the html format at the top of any `respond_to` blocks:

I watched Devil over the weekend. It was better than I expected. I would have never guessed
The Devil was the old lady
Hi Mookie! I saw Devil over the weekend also. That was a surprise to me also! I had the. It was a good movie, good suspense IMO. I also watched Paranormal Activity 2 not as good as the first but not horrible. I will probably watch it again. Saw it at work so I don't think the monitor did it justice. Last but not least, The Runaways which I really liked. Dakota Fanning is an amazing little actress.
brunette pegged as the Devil
watching the pool cleaner pop in and out of the pool was endlessly boring
I watched this lame horror movie called Shrooms. Another film with American teenagers in a foreign country (this time Ireland, but a really backwoods part). The movie tries to inject some ambuguity by having the characters tripping on
mushrooms, so you're never suppose to know if everything is real or not, but it ends with an unoriginal and predictable twist. Fortunately it was pretty short, around ninety minutes, so I didn't waste too much of my life on it.
The new Rambo. A bit bloody but pretty good. Brings to light the tragedy going on in Burma.
The Stand funnily enough after having it sitting in my collection for well over 12 months =/
Lucky Number Slevin arrived through my door this morning so that will be next!!!
I watched V for Vendetta last night. I thought it was pretty good. It's a good example of why people shouldn't let their govornments exert any more power than needed, or let them get out of control.
Shutter Island :) with Leonardo DiCaprio :love:
We just recently watched on DVD Let Me In, Lucky Number Slevin, Swing Kids, Kingdom of Heaven, and Glory. About a month ago we went to the theater and watched True Grit, which I thought was really good.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Tyler Junior College (Texas) claimed their fourth straight NJCAA Division I Women's Tennis national championship Thursday at the Jim Reffkin Tennis Center. Finishing with a total of 46 points, the Apaches clinched their 17th title in program history by narrowly edging out ASA College (N.Y.) who finished with 42.5 points.
The ASA Avengers joined Georgia Perimeter College in claiming two singles championships, while Tyler and Florida State-Jacksonville each earned one. It was Florida State-Jacksonville sophomore Esther Zuniga taking the No. 1 singles crown with a 0-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Tyler freshman Fausthyara Pietersz. In No. 2 singles, Georgia Perimeter freshman Fatyha Berjan earned a 6-2, 6-2 win over Tyler sophomore Nelo Phiri. Georgia Perimeter sophomore Ida Amen defeated Tyler sophomore Alejandra Enderica 7-6, 6-2 in No. 3 singles.
Tyler earned the No. 4 singles crown with freshman Kylie Reynaud's 6-0, 6-0 victory against ASA freshman Teona Tatishvili. ASA freshman Vlada Rabin beat St. Petersburg College (Fla.) freshman Melanie Gray 6-1, 6-0 in No. 5 singles. In No. 6 singles, Tyler freshman Kerry Wiegand was defeated 3-6, 7-5, 6-1 by ASA sophomore Fatima Outtara.
The Apaches edged ASA in doubles, claiming victory in two of the three flights. In No. 1 doubles, Pietersz and Phiri notched a 6-2, 6-2 win for Tyler against ASA freshmen Dayana Agasieva and Diana Perez. ASA earned a victory in No. 2 doubles as Tatishvili and freshman Tamar Tskhakia scored a 6-1, 6-4 win over Berjane and sophomore Nea Krpo from Georgia Perimeter. Tyler's Reynaud and Wiegand won the No. 3 doubles 5-7, 6-4, 7-6 over ASA's Outtara and Rabin.

The Apaches have now won four consecutive titles for the second time in school history after winning five in-a-row between 1998 and 2002. Midland College (Texas) has the second most DI women's tennis championships with seven.

Dana White not willing to let boxing die, ready to 'make something out of it'
If boxing promoter Don King can promote the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA), then there is no reason Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White can't promote the "sweet science."
He'll get his start with "The Fighters," the new boxing reality show from the streets of Boston that debuts this Thursday night (Jan. 23, 2014) at 9 p.m. ET on Discovery Channel (see the video teaser here). And if his latest foray into the world of pugilists doesn't scratch his itch for the ring?
White tells FOX Sports he's ready for more.
"There is nothing but fucking characters in boxing. Boston is an exciting place for this. The accent alone speaks boxing. It's a very unique, interesting world and this is a look into it. I've always got the boxing itch. I'm a boxing guy at heart. I'm always going to be that guy. How deep would I get? Let's see how far this thing goes. I don't want to see the sport of boxing die. This is my contribution to the sport I love. I think I can make something out of it."
If boxing is nothing but characters, then White would fit right in.

Jon Fitch not expecting 2013 title shot, finding motivation in money, love of fighting - Bloody Elbow
It's hard to remember a time when Jon Fitch wasn't a top ten welterweight. After years and years spent ranked #2 behind Georges St. Pierre, Fitch was knocked out by Johny Hendricks at UFC 141. Having rebounded from that loss with a highly entertaining win over Erick Silva at UFC 153 this past October, Fitch is back on the winning track and still sees his name at the top end of the 170 pound rankings.
Even so, Jon isn't expecting a second shot at the welterweight title -- Fitch lost to GSP in August of 2008 -- to come in the new year:
But Fitch seems to have come to view his career differently, to where not getting that shot soon is not going to cause him too much stress:"I think a shake-up could have happened if Johny Hendricks would have gotten the title shot," Fitch told MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps). "I think right now it looks like 'GSP' will probably defeat Diaz. The way it looks, I think there's a strong possibility the fight after that will probably be Marquardt just because it's champion vs. champion."
Fitch's label as a "boring fighter" for many years kept him away from a second shot at GSP, but if he turns in more performances like the one against Silva, it isn't hard to see him getting another chance to become champion."I think one of the mistakes I made in the past was thinking about what this next fight is going to bring me rather than just focusing on the fight, itself," Fitch admitted. "Throw all of my attention, all my energy, into one fight at a time and make sure I get the most out of that one fight. I think that showed. When I do that, that's what happened in the last fight. If I continue that process, it's going to be a lot more great fights like that."
"This is a big thing. I need the money. I need the fight. I need to perform, and I love what I do. The motivation is that in itself."

Hotlix lives!: Legendary Toledo band reunites for benefit show.Written by Jeff McGinnis | | email@example.com
Come back in time to the 1980s, the era of big hair, big shoulders and big rock 'n' roll. In Toledo, if you were partying, there was only one band you were banging your head to: Hotlix, baby!
Formed from the ashes of a short-lived '60s cover band, Hotlix — the best known line-up featured keyboardist Tim Tiderman, guitarist AJ Tscherne, bassist Steve Super and drummer Mike Lamb — rocked local nightclubs (including their own) with their brand of loud-playing, dirty-joke-loving fun. For 17 years, Hotlix was the premier party band in the city.
Then, in 1996, the band found itself at odds with the new wave of music that was coming to dominate the market. An ill-fated move to a new location only hastened the inevitable — the members of Hotlix went their separate ways. They would still get together for reunion shows once a year or so, reliving the good old days. Then, when Lamb died in 2003 after a battle with cancer, it seemed the group had officially played its last lick.
But sometimes, little show business miracles happen. On Nov. 27, the surviving members of Hotlix will come together one more time for a reunion show at Forrester's on the River, 26 Main Street. The proceeds from the gig will benefit Hospice of Northwest Ohio.
"Ten years ago, October, our drummer passed away," Tim Tiderman said in an interview with Toledo Free Press Star. "And we just all kind of decided that it was a four-piece deal, and if everybody wasn't going to be there, we wouldn't play. So, the drummer's wife called, and this was back in September, and said, 'You know, it's been 10 years, and I think Hotlix should play.'
"Prior to that, I hadn't really thought much about that, and I would have thought that we wouldn't do it. I just thought we were done with it. It was a place in our lives musically, and as people, that we're all older than that now, and passed it by. I would have said that we would not do it. But then, she called with this particular request, and I thought, 'Well, OK, we'll do it."
Tiderman has moved on with his life in the decade-plus since he last took the stage with his former band mates. Not only is he a successful commercial pilot, he has put together numerous other bands — a 10-piece swing band, a four-piece jazz quartet, a gospel quartet — but because of his demanding work schedule, none of them get to play much. And certainly none of them scratch the anarchic, sophomoric, joyous itch that Hotlix did back in the day.
"And the really odd thing was, during the 10 years from the last time we played, you know, if I saw these guys once a year — if we see each other once a year, it'd be a surprise," Tiderman said. "So we haven't kept too much in touch, because we've all been busy doing other things. But as soon as we decided to do this, we all fell in just like it was last weekend."
It's amazing what you remember when you're put in the right circumstances. Tiderman said that even though it's been ages since the group saw each other, to say nothing of playing together, they have fallen back into their old patter with little effort.
"Obviously, it's been a long time, and some of the things require a bit of reminding of how they go. Fortunately, we taped a lot. I have tape of lots and lots of nights, and I was able to
reassemble most of the stuff for us to listen to and get an idea of how it's supposed to go."
That documentation means Lamb's memory will come along for the ride, too — Tiderman noted that they will be playing video of during the show, as a tribute to their missing friend.
Still, don't expect the group to get too sentimental — anyone who ever attended a Hotlix gig back in the day knows damn well that this group thrives on irreverence, lewd jokes and raunchy interplay between members of the band, and the band and the audience. Tiderman said to expect nothing less from the Nov. 27 gig.
"The content of the show was always very risqué, and a whole lot of — let's just call it what it is — a whole lot of dirty jokes and songs, not meant to embarrass anybody," Tiderman said. "And it turned out that it was funny, people thought it was funny, and they laughed at it and responded to it."
As for the future — well, Tiderman said not to hold your breath for a full-fledged Hotlix revival. That whole being a grown-up with responsibilities thing really can be a drag on party time. Still, for one night, he and his cohorts can take to the stage and take their audience back to an era where the music was loud, the bar was rocking and Hotlix ruled the Glass City. Tiderman will even have family there — including his 22-year-old granddaughter.
"I'm pretty sure when this is all over, she's probably never gonna think about her grandpa in quite the same way," Tiderman said, a wry grin in his voice.
