Combat in Alyria is a fact of life. Many dangerous and tricky creatures inhabit the lands, and an Adventurer must be prepared to face them.
How Combat Works
Melee combat occurs in a series of rounds. A round is when attacks and blows are exchanged between opposing forces. Combat is started when one side utilizes the ATTACK command or uses a special attack on an opponent.
During combat, damage is inflicted in two overall ways. The first way is a series of hits from your WIELDed weapon, or if no weapon is being wielded, by your fists (also known as hand-to-hand combat. The hits will occur automatically once combat is started, and will not stop until someone FLEEs from combat, an opponent is incapacitated, combat is stopped through other means (for example, a calm spell, momentary darkness spell, etc.) or when there are no opponents left on one (or either) side.
The second way is from using a "special attack". These can be magical spells, items that are THROWn at the target, or special rebounding defenses such as fireshield or reflect-magic shields. Using special attacks during combat will usually result in the number of hits you can issue per round being diminished, depending on how busy you are preparing the special attack.
The amount of damage done to the opposing participant is dependent on the type of attack, the level of the attacker, their skill in using the weapon type, spell, or other special attack, and other attributes such as agility and strength.
Armor Resistance
Each body part has its own armor resistance, which is a way of measuring how much damage you can absorb if a hit successfully connects with that body part.
The armor resistance is further broken down into four different types, namely:
- armor resistance vs. piercing attacks
- armor resistance vs. slashing attacks
- armor resistance vs. bashing attacks
- armor resistance vs. exotic attacks (miscellaneous)
Each of these armor resistance types will have a value from 0 to 75, where 0 means that there is no resistance to attacks of that type, on through 75, which means that the maximum resistance to attacks of that type is present.
Armor resistance can be increased through items designed to protect the specific body part (a helm for the head, for example), and it can also be increased through the use of magic spells or enchanted items.
Each body part has its own damage multiplier - meaning that if a hit lands there, the damage from the hit is either increased or reduced based on the body part. For instance, a blow to the head would do more damage to a humanoid than a blow to the leg.
The modifiers for the damage done to the specific bodyparts are as follows:
head | 120% | tail | 50% | |
torso | 100% (no modification) | wings | 50% | |
arms | 65% | legs | 75% |
Unlike armor resistance, which reduces the damage caused by hits, combat defenses can cause a hit during an attack to be avoided entirely. A defense must be active in order to be used during a combat round. Active defenses can be changed using the COMBAT DEFENSE command.
Available defenses can include the following:
There are additional ways to block attacks - special equipment, magical spells such as telekinetic shield, combat blink and so forth.

Maybe the penultimate career planning question we should all be asking ourselves is, "What else do you do?" You've heard the saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." No kidding. But I was surprised recently to discover that, when forced to think about it, most people do have something going on the side.

Write a ReviewReview of 21-755 - Leaf Mini Pendant
By Joyce H. from Rancho Cucamonga, CA on Dec 09, 2010
Practical, Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
I would like to have known that the texture was only applied to the inside of the glass and not actually a part of the glass. At first sight I thought about returning them but now that I have installed them and with the right kind of bulb inside ( I used a smaller directional light bulb )I love them. The design is so unique and garners a lot of attention. I used them in my bathroom.

Missing for 3 days, A-hole that robbed a bank and tried to carjack someone at Wal*Mart matches the pics of the guy using Matt's ATM card at a gas station. Body found in Detroit with a bullet in the back of the head may be him.
I say they lock A-hole in a room with Matt's family for 10 minutes. Discuss

Nope, no one famous, just a young man living his life and getting carjacked. Happens all the time, all over, and no one cares. The family had to get the TV news involved just to get the police to do something.

Not only believe it, heard it from the family, also went to school with the chief of police so I'm not surprised.
Not saying ALL cops are like this, but this particular PD has a history..... let's just say there' s a reason they were the first department to order tilt wheel on their squad cars....

Prisons should be like they are in England.Small cell no TV,no weight rooms,just a little cell with the them and the thoughts of what they did to get there.Thats why crime is considerably lower there than here.
Yes they should have rights the right to pay tax payers back for supporting there ass the whole time they are there.Besides if memory serves me right don't you kinda give up your rights when you get caught commiting a crime???? |

Since my lover left me
Never no smile on my face

You are me and we are all together, whoa whoa

I've traveled such a long way

Charles Darwin
The Evolution Deceit
The Nightmare of Disbelief
In our day, some circles hold the view that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution does not contradict with religion, and that those who renounce the theory of evolution unnecessarily promote it. This view, however, includes many misconceptions. It is the result of a failure to grasp the main tenet of Darwinism and the extremely dangerous outlook it mandates. That is why, for those who have faith in the existence of God, the mere Creator of all living-beings, yet carry the conviction that "God created living beings through evolution", it would be quite useful to primarily review the fundamental tenets of the theory. In this essay, in an endeavor to warn believers who have this misconception, some essential scientific and logical explanations regarding why the theory of evolution is not compatible with Islam and the fact of Creation it introduces to mankind, are provided.
The basic tenet of Darwinism holds that living beings came into being spontaneously, as a result of coincidences. This view is completely contrary to the faith of Creation.
The most important misconception of those who think that the theory of evolution does not contradict with creation is their assumption that the basic assertion of the theory of evolution is that living beings came into existence through evolving from one another. Accordingly, they comment: "There is no reason why God did not create all living beings by making them evolve from one another; so what is the rationale to raise objection to it?" However, there is a very important point here which is ignored: the essential difference between the advocates of evolution and creation is not based on the question of whether "living beings appeared individually or through evolving from each other.
The main question is "whether living beings came into existence by chance and as result of natural events, or they were consciously created?"
The theory of evolution, as known, claims that lifeless chemical compounds came together by chance and as a result of randomly occurring natural phenomena, they formed first the building blocks of life and ultimately life. Consequently, in its core, this claim accepts time, lifeless matter and chance to be creative powers. Even the layman, who is somewhat acquainted with the literature of evolution, is aware that this is the basis of the claims of evolutionists. Not surprisingly, despite being an evolutionist scientist, Pierre Paul Grassé, acknowledges the implausibility of the theory and summarizes what the concept of "coincidence" means for evolutionists:
"…Chance becomes a sort of providence, which, under the cover of atheism, is not named but which is secretly worshipped."
(Pierre Paul Grassé,
Evolution of Living Organisms
, New York, Academic Press, 1977, p.107)
That life is an arbitrary by-product of the compound formed by time, matter and coincidence, on the other hand, is a nonsense claim unacceptable by those who have faith in the existence of God as the sole Creator of all living beings.
Believers should assume the responsibility to save societies from such perverted and unreal beliefs and warn them.
The claim of "coincidence" put forward by the theory of evolution is denied by science
Another significant fact that deserves a special consideration about this subject is that scientific discoveries also definitely refute the evolutionist claims that "life emerged as a result of pure coincidences and natural phenomena." This is because there are extraordinarily complex examples of design in life. Even the cell of a living being is a great wonder of design that totally annuls the concept of "coincidence".
This superior design and plan in life are certainly indications of God's unique and matchless creation, of His eternal knowledge and might.
The efforts of evolutionists to explain the origins of life with chance are rejected by science in the 20
century and today, in the 21
century, they met a total defeat. (See Harun Yahya,
Blunders of Evolutionists
, Vural Publishing) Indeed, the reason why they deny Creation although they see this fact is their blind adherence to irreligiousness.
God did not create living beings through an evolutionary process
Since the existence of creation, in other words, a conscious design, is obvious, the only question that remains is "through what kind of a process the living beings were created." The misconception of some faithful people emerges right at this point: The wrong reasoning that "Living being could have been created by evolving from one another" is actually related to how the process of creation occurred.
Indeed, had God willed, He could have created living beings through an evolutionary process from nothingness, as the abovementioned individuals propose. And had science proved that living beings evolved from each other, we could say, "God created life through evolution." For instance, if there were any evidence available that reptiles evolved to form birds, then we would say, "God transformed reptiles into birds with His command 'Be'!". Ultimately, both these living beings individually possess bodies overflowing with examples of perfect design, which cannot be explained away by chance. Transformation of these designs into one another -had such a thing really happened- would surely be another evidence for creation.
However, the situation is not so. Scientific evidence (especially the fossil record and comparative anatomy) point to the contrary; there is not single evidence on earth that an evolutionary process took place on the earth. The fossil record clearly indicate that different living species did not appear on earth through evolving from one another by fine gradations, but that on the contrary, distinct living species appeared on earth suddenly fully formed and without any preceding ancestors similar to them. Neither birds sprung from reptiles, nor fish transformed into land-dwelling animals. Each living phylum is created individually with its traits particular to its kind. Even the most renowned evolutionists had to accept this fact and confess that this provides an evidence for Creation. For instance, evolutionist paleontologist Mark Czarnecki confesses as follows:
"A major problem in proving the theory (evolution theory) has been the fossil record; the imprints of vanished species preserved in the Earth's geological formations. This record has never revealed traces of Darwin's hypothetical intermediate variants - instead species appear and disappear abruptly,
and this anomaly has fueled the creationist argument that each species was created by God.
(Mark Czarnecki, "The
Revival of the Creationist Crusade",
, 19 January 1981, p. 56)
Especially during the last fifty years, developments in various scientific fields such as paleontology, microbiology, genetics and comparative anatomy, and new discoveries show that the theory of evolution is untrue and living beings appeared on earth all of a sudden in their distinct and perfect forms. Therefore, there is no reason to suggest that God employed the process of evolution in Creation. God created every species individually and at one moment, with His command of "Be!" This is a certain and explicit fact.
It is of vital importance for people of faith to be alert and cautious against the ideological systems committed to struggle against God and religion. For 150 years, Darwinism provided a so-called scientific ground for all anti-religionist ideologies that caused misery for mankind, such as fascism, communism, and imperialism and legitimized the merciless practices of those who adopted these philosophies. Hence, it would not be right to ignore the inner truth and the real purpose of such a theory. For each Muslim of conscience, it is a major responsibility to disprove every anti-religious ideology rejecting the existence of God with a thought struggle, to demolish falsehood with truth and warn people.

SUNNYVALE, CA and BRACKNELL, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 11/13/12 -- Centrify Corporation, the leading provider of security and compliance solutions that centrally control, secure and audit access to on-premise and cloud-based systems, mobile devices and applications, today announced that HSBC Bank UK is deploying the Centrify Suite to centrally secure system access to HSBC's distributed IT infrastructure.
Headquartered in London, HSBC is one of the largest banking and financial services organizations in the world. HSBC's international network comprises more than 7,200 offices in more than 80 countries and territories in Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, the Americas, the Middle East and Africa. HSBC central IT staff manages thousands of user accounts across its UNIX and LINUX estate; making access control, privilege management and reporting on user access a critical concern for IT Operations and Audit teams.
"Centrify's product functionality sets it apart from anything else on the market by consolidating complex user and computer access into a streamlined and easy-to-manage arrangement within Active Directory; it's a massive plus for us," said Paul Sharpe, Enterprise Technical Specialist, Global IT Operations with HSBC. "We looked at several vendors, but Centrify Suite's underlying Zones technology was by far the best approach for us to maintain compliance and simplify our processes."
Prior to deploying Centrify, Sharpe said, "We had multiple goals for this project including enforcing password policies, user account consolidation in Active Directory, and auditing requirements. We needed to manage our Linux and UNIX systems in a centralized manner and wanted to leverage an existing directory infrastructure. The result was a decision to acquire the best technology to meet our needs, and after careful evaluation we chose Centrify."
"HSBC is a global financial giant in the industry, with a dynamic IT organization that demands the highest level of performance and ROI," said Darren Gross, Centrify Regional Director for EMEA. "We are extremely proud that they have selected Centrify to help manage their security needs for centralized user management and auditing, and we look forward to a long-standing, mutually successful relationship."
Centrify has broad acceptance in highly regulated industries such as banking, securities and insurance where the constantly shifting compliance and security landscape drives the need for rigorous internal auditing and risk management. Centrify is uniquely able to scale to enterprise-wide projects where implementing granular role-based access is complex due to acquisitions, heterogeneous system environments, and identity silos that have grown up across the enterprise. Centrify's integrated solution ensures that even the largest financial institutions can establish accountability across data center systems, cloud servers, applications and mobile devices.

By Carmen Gonzalez Even as cloud and managed services grow increasingly central to business strategy and performance, challenges remain. The biggest sticking point for companies seeking to capitalize on the cloud is data security. Keeping data safe is an issue in any computing environment, and it has been a focus since the earliest days of the cloud revolution. Understandably so: a lot can go wrong when you allow valuable information to live outside the firewall.

The building used to be the museum of the Far East Research Institute under French colonial rule (École française d'Extrême-Orient EFEO).
Today, it is a museum showcasing Vietnam's history with very large displays covering every period. It is housed in a colonial French building which was completed in 1932. The building, designed by the architect Ernest Hébrard, is considered a successful blend of French colonial and traditional Vietnamese architecture, called Indochina architecture. Hebrard created double walls and balconies for a natural ventilation system and protection from sunshine.

Like mother, like daughter!Molly Ringwald took to Twitter on Tuesday to share a sweet snapshot of her daughter Mathilda, standing next to a cardboard cutout of her "Sixteen Candles" character, Samantha Baker. "She can't escape her mom, even when "back to school" shopping at Target," she wrote with the cute candid.In the pic, the 10-year-old is posing just like her famous mama, even rocking the same body language as the fan-favorite teenager. It's hard to believe that it's been 30 years since Sam Baker's family forgot about her birthday in the 80's cult classic. While Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, John Cusack, Liane Curtis and even the guy who played Long Duk Dong have all enjoyed steady success in entertainment, Michael Schoeffling (aka Jake Ryan) disappeared.

It's been 30 years since Sam Baker's family forgot about her birthday in "Sixteen Candles," and just as long since Jake Ryan stole all our collective hearts.But in the years following the film's release, the actor who played him all but vanished.While Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, John Cusack, Liane Curtis and even the guy who played Long Duk Dong have all enjoyed steady success in entertainment, Michael Schoeffling disappeared.See how the entire cast -- sans Michael -- have all aged in the gallery above. Plus, see what they're doing now.As for Schoeffling, let's dig a little deeper.The dreamy actor was 23 when he played the sweet high school jock in "Sixteen Candles," and continued to smolder in films like "Mermaids" and "Let's Get Harry" before his final role in 1991's "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken."The actor then left Hollywood behind and raised two children, »

Bob Hoskins was one of those wonderfully consistent actors that it was easy to take for granted; often chosen as much for his unique physicality as he was for his acting abilities (alas, critic Pauline Kael once described him as "a testicle with legs"), he was the kind of filmic presence that demanded you sat up and took notice whenever he appeared on screen. Hearing of his untimely death yesterday (he died aged 71 of pneumonia), it's been made apparent that we've lost a true legend of British cinema. There really will be no replacing the likes of Bob Hoskins.
Many will know Hoskins for his turn in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, where the actor found himself as part of an insanely ambitious project that blended the styles of cartoon and live-action to great success. As Eddie Valiant, a down on his luck detective, Hoskins renders a »

The world was shocked today with the news that beloved actor Bob Hoskins passed away at the age 0f 71 from pneumonia. The British actor first made his mark on the big screen in the 80's, starring in a string of crime dramas, including The Long Good Friday (which bagged his first of many awards), as well as turns in cult classics, like Pink Floyd's the Wall and Brazil. His big break came in the form of Eddie Valiant in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, a role he is remembered for to this day. He went on from there to star in varied movies, including memorable turns in Mermaids, Hook, Unleashed, and, even though he wished he could erase it from filmography, Super Mario Bros. He is also known to an entire generation of us on this side of the pond as the voice and face of British Telecom. His last »

British acting legend Bob Hoskins has died of pneumonia at the age of 71. Hoskins' agent confirmed to the BBC that he died on Tuesday in hospital, surrounded by family.
With over a hundred credits to his name across film and television, Hoskins announced his retirement from acting in 2012 after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. His final films were British comedy "Outside Bet" and big-budget fantasy feature "Snow White and the Huntsmen".
Hoskins will be remembered far more though for his memorable turns in films such as "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," "The Long Good Friday," "Mona Lisa," "The Honorary Consul," "Brazil," "Hook," "Nixon," "The Cotton Club," "Twenty Four Seven," "Super Mario Bros.," "Last Orders," "Mermaids," "Mrs. Henderson Presents," "Unleashed," "Hollywoodland," "Doomsday," "Enemy at the Gates," "The Wall" and TV productions like "Pennies from Heaven," "On the Move," "The Lost World" and "The Street".

Bob Hoskins, the legendary British actor whose career spanned more than 40 years, has died at the age of 71. Hoskins passed away today (April 30) after contracting pneumonia. He announced his retirement from acting in 2012 following a Parkinson's diagnosis.
Bob Hoskins dies, aged 71: Tributes pour in for Long Good Friday star
Hoskins leaves behind an eclectic selection of film roles, having worked with filmmakers ranging from Steven Spielberg to Stephen Frears. Here are eight of his more memorable big screen roles...
The Long Good Friday (1980)
Probably the greatest British gangster film ever made, Hoskins delivered an explosive turn as Harold Shand, a criminal looking to refashion himself as a legit businessman. John McKenzie's film has stood the test of time exceptionally well, having contemporary resonance in Shand's plans to rejuvenate the London Docklands to make way for the Olympic Games.

Actor Bob Hoskins, who appeared in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Hook and Brazil, among other films, has died at age 71. He had been hospitalized with a bout of pneumonia, according to Associated Press.
A diverse résumé of roles varying from the Peter Pan pirate softie Smee in Hook to the ever-complex J. Edgar Hoover in Nixon – the latter of which earned Hoskins a Screen Actor's Guild nomination – made the British-born actor familiar yet unpredictable to moviegoers. Hoskins first caught critics' attentions in the 1980 gangster movie The Long Good Friday and the 1983 country-in-upheaval-themed Beyond the Limit, »

It is with a heavy heart that Thn must bring you the news that actor Bob Hoskins has passed away, aged 71. His agent broke the news earlier today confirming that the actor died last night after having recently contracted pneumonia. His family were with him at the time and stated that he died peacefully, they have asked that their privacy be respected during this difficult time.
Hoskins had a lengthy career in the world of acting, he started on stage before branching out into television before making the move to films. The actor was nominated for the best actor Oscar in 1987 for his part in Mona Lisa, and is most famous for his role in The Long Good Friday, Hook, and of course Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Not every film was a critical success with Super Mario Bros., which also starred Dennis Hopper and John Leguizamo, taking a critical pounding upon release. »

Last night, Bob Hoskins died from pneumonia. Born Robert William Hoskins Jr. in 1942 to a nursery-school teacher and a truck driver in West Suffolk, England, Hoskins went on to a varied, wonderful, 40-plus-year acting career. Starting in 1969, Hoskins didn't break through until his performances in the 1978 BBC musical drama Pennies From Heaven and the 1980 British gangster movie The Long Good Friday. His career included notable roles in Brazil, Mona Lisa (for which he won a BAFTA and a Golden Globe, and was nominated for an Oscar), Mermaids, Super Mario Bros, Hook, and, of course, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?. On his ability to consistently find work, Hoskins once told an interviewer, "Most dictators were short, fat, middle-aged, and hairless. Besides Danny DeVito, there's only me to play them."2012's Snow White and the Huntsman was Hoskins's last film before he retired after being diagnosed with Parkinson's. Through it »

I'm hugely saddened to report that Oscar-nominated British actor Bob Hoskins -- the quintessential Cockney gent of latter-day cinema -- has passed away. Aged 71, he died in hospital following a bout of pneumonia. His wife, Linda, and four children issued a statement clarifying that the Londoner "died peacefully at hospital last night surrounded by family," and thanked well-wishers for their "messages of love and support." Hoskins' health had been declining for some time: he retired from acting in 2012 after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. His last screen role was in "Snow White and the Huntsman." After supporting roles in such films as "Zulu Dawn" and a BAFTA-nominated turn in Dennis Potter's TV landmark "Pennies From Heaven," Hoskins' film breakthrough came in his late thirties with the role of conflicted East End crime boss Harold Shand in the 1980 gangster classic "The Long Good Friday," which earned him another BAFTA nod. »

We're very saddened to report that the legendary actor Bob Hoskins has died at the age of 71. Sky News reports that his agent has confirmed that the British actor - and star of many a cinematic classic like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Hook and Mermaids - has died of penumonia. Hoskins started his acting career back in 1969, with - fittingly enough - a story as surprising and hilarious as Hoskins himself. Whilst waiting in the Unity Theatre Bar for his friend Roger Frost to finish an audition, he was handed a script and told "you're next"....

A few years ago I wrote a piece on my blog Day of the Woman about unrealistic horror couples, this isn't to be confused with "worst horror couples" or like what Ryan Turek over at Shock Till You Drop posted, "Doomed Horror Romances." Instead, I wanted to focus on couples in horror movies that really have no business being together. Some of these couples I'm judging from the shallow perspective of appearances, but some of these couples just don't seem compatible. Now that I'm a little older and a little more in tune to what actually makes for a good relationship, I've re-vamped and revitalized this list just in time for everyone's favorite holiday developed by the greeting card industry. Note: If you and your significant other resemble any of the couples we make fun of, we're not making fun of you…we »

Love 'em.
I mostly went with these over any other because the White/Black/Red/Blue ones match my board perfectly, and I'm glad I did. I've worn them with and without liners, and they're fairly warm, hella grippy on grabs, and built pretty well. I recommend them.

Warm & low-profile
Really stoked on these. They're warmer than I thought they would be, fine for everyday winter use in Utah climates if you don't get cold super easy. The palms are super grippy for radical extreme airtime grab action and they're holding up well so far.
