A submersable 1 HP water pump supplies domestic and lawn water. There is no water bang problem in the house for routine use. However,---. Assume that the water supply system is static, pressure in the oversized bladder tank is at cutoff pressuer of 55psi. Air pressure in the bladder is 28psi, 2psi below cutin pressure for the pump, according to spec. No water is flowing any where in the system.
The lawn sprinkler kicks in and water begins to flow from the system tank, pushing out lots of water for about 20 or more seconds, with no water bang.When the pressure drops to about 30psi, at which time the pump comes on--- BAM! The entire plumbing system vibrates.
It can't shake because, after covering it with foam insulation, I installed "U" shaped clamps with two screws each every 8 feet of pipe length. The pipe is 1" PVC.
If I run water anywhere else in the system,wait until the pump goes on and then turn on the lawn sprinkler, there is no water bang.
If I could slooowly turn on the water supply to the sprinkler system manifold, I am sure the problem would be solved.
No help from the manufacture, the plumber, the irrigation guys.
Thought that the air charge in my supply tank would act as a shock absorber. Now I am thinking of installing a two gallon Extrol, or blader tank, near the sprinkler valve manifold to suck up some shock wave.
Anybody got any suggestions?

The Last Castle
What would happen if people who spent time behind bars wrote the scripts for prison movies? Would they continue to be about honorable men held captive by cruel wardens? Possibly. The Last Castle follows this archetypal storyline. Robert Redford star as General Irwin, an upright army man trying to hold his own against lordly Colonel Winter (James Gandolfini), the keeper of the high-security prison where Irwin's locked-up. Their battle of wills thrusts Irwin into a position of leadership among the inmates. This is Redford, so even though his character didn't asked to be a hero, it all happens rather naturally, with the appropriate standoffs, losses, and victories.
The Last Castle is a very well-oiled prison drama. It moves like clockwork—never surprising, steadily decent. Mark Ruffalo, as a fellow prisoner, stands out as a strong foil to the primary match between Redford and Gandolfini.
Sure, The Last Castle is about criminals tried in a court of law revolting against government officials. But that doesn't stop it from being massively patriotic fare.

All About Leukemia
What is Leukemia?
Leukemia is a cancer of the blood or blood cells. There are several types of leukemia and these are classified by how quickly they progress and what cell they affect. In order to understand how leukemia affects the cells, it is helpful to first understand what normal blood cells do.
- White blood cells (also called leukocytes) are the body's infection fighting cells. There are several different types of white blood cells.
- Red blood cells (also called erythrocytes) give blood its red color, but more importantly, carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and return carbon dioxide to the lungs as waste.
- Platelets (also called thrombocytes) help the body form blood clots to control bleeding.
- In addition to these three cell types, the blood also contains fluid called plasma.
All of these products are formed in the bone marrow, a spongy area located in the center of bones. Larger bones have more bone marrow, and therefore produce more cells. The larger bones include the femur (top part of the leg or thigh), the hip bones, and parts of the rib cage. The bone marrow contains a small percentage of cells that are in development and are not yet mature. These cells are called blasts. Once the cell has matured, it moves out of the bone marrow and into the circulating blood. The body has mechanisms to know when more cells are needed and has the ability to produce them in an orderly fashion.
In the case of leukemia, one blood cell goes awry (in the majority of cases this cell is a white blood cell) and the body produces large numbers of this cell. When looked at under a microscope, these abnormally produced cells look different then the healthy cells and do not function properly. The body continues to produce these abnormal, non-functional cells, leaving little space for healthy cells. This imbalance of healthy and unhealthy cells is what causes the symptoms of leukemia.
What Are The Types of Leukemia?
Leukemias are classified by two factors, how quickly the disease develops and what cells are affected. The disease is either classified as acute or chronic, referring to how quickly it develops and progresses. In acute leukemia, the white blood cells multiple very rapidly and are very immature, and therefore cannot function properly (remember, immature cells are called blasts). The blood fills with blasts quickly, causing the patient to develop symptoms and seek medical attention.
In chronic leukemia, the blasts form more slowly, allowing the body to continue to produce functional cells, causing fewer symptoms for the patient. These cases are often diagnosed during a routine physical or blood work. Chronic leukemia may cause the spleen to become enlarged, which can be felt by the doctor during a physical, prompting further investigation.
The types are further divided by the type of white blood cell that is affected, lymphoid cells or myeloid cells. These types are called lymphocytic leukemia and myelogenous leukemia, respectively.
The types include:
- Acute myeloid leukemia (also called AML) - occurs in both children and adults.
- Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) - the most common type seen in children, but also seen in adults, most often over 65.
- Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) - occurs mostly in adults, young and old.
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) - most often seen in people over age 55, can affect younger adults, but almost never seen in children.
Am I at Risk for Leukemia?
Unfortunately, we do not know what causes most cases of leukemia. Several things have been identified as risk factors - that is, exposure to them puts a person at a higher risk of developing leukemia, but it is not a certainty that this exposure will lead to leukemia. These factors include exposure to high-energy radiation, like that released from a nuclear accident or bomb. Some genetic syndromes, such as Down's syndrome, put a person at higher risk. People who work with the chemical benzene over a long period of time also have a greater chance of getting leukemia. Some scientists feel that exposure to electromagnetic fields, like those that come from power lines, may put a person at higher risk, but this has not been proven. Prior treatment with certain types of chemotherapy and having a personal history of certain blood disorders such as myelodyplastic syndrome (MDS), are also risk factors. Finally, smoking cigarettes increases the risk of acute myelogenous leukemia because it is a source of exposure to benzene. It is important to realize that many patients with leukemia do not have any identifiable risk factors.
How Can I Prevent Leukemia?
Because we do not know the exact cause, it is not possible to recommend ways to prevent leukemia. If possible, one should avoid smoking, exposure to radiation, and the chemical benzene.
What Screening Tests are Available?
Leukemia is not a cancer that we screen for because it is rather rare (accounting for 3% of all new cancer cases), and early detection does not improve survival in most cases. To determine if a person has leukemia, a blood count would be drawn by the doctor, which would show an abnormally low or high number of white blood cells in a person with the disease. Regular physicals by your healthcare provider are your best method of screening.
What Are The Signs of Leukemia?
The blast cells are unable to perform their normal function of fighting infection, so patients may develop fevers or infections that won't go away. As the number of immature cells (blasts) increases, the normal cells are crowded out. This leads to low red blood cell counts and low platelet counts. A low red cell count is called anemia, which may cause the patient to feel tired or appear pale. A low platelet count affects blood clotting, causing the patient to bleed or bruise easily.
As mentioned before, acute leukemia tends to cause symptoms more rapidly than chronic leukemia. These patients tend to go to their healthcare provider because they feel sick. In chronic leukemia, symptoms may not appear for some time, and when they first appear, they may be mild. These cases are often found during a routine physical.
Some common symptoms include: fever, chills, weakness and fatigue, swollen or tender lymph nodes, liver or spleen, easy bleeding or bruising, swollen or bleeding gums, night sweats, weight loss, and bone or joint pain. In acute leukemia, the abnormal cells can accumulate in the brain or spinal cord, causing headaches, vomiting, confusion, or seizures.
How is Leukemia Diagnosed?
In both acute and chronic leukemia, the healthcare provider asks about medical history and conducts a physical exam. During the exam, abnormalities such as enlarged spleen, liver or lymph nodes may be detected, prompting further investigation. A laboratory test called a complete blood count would find blast cells present in the blood, thus suggesting a diagnosis of leukemia. This test can reveal that the patient has leukemia, but further testing is required to determine the type.
To determine the type of leukemia, the healthcare provider takes a sample of the bone marrow. This is done by inserting a needle into a bone (usually the hip bone) and removing a sample of the marrow. These cells are examined under a microscope, allowing the physician to determine what cell is abnormal, and whether it is an acute or chronic leukemia. It may also be necessary to perform a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) to determine if leukemia cells have entered the nervous system. This decision is dependent on the type of leukemia and the patient's symptoms.
What Are The Treatments For Leukemia?
Treatment is dependent on the type of leukemia, and may differ dependent on the patient's age, health and extent of the disease. For specific treatments, look below for links to the National Cancer Institute's PDQ.
Leukemia is a complex disease, and with about 54,270 cases per year in the United States, it is relatively rare. The disease is slightly more common in males and is also more common in Caucasians than African-Americans. Due to the relative rarity of the disease, it is recommended that patients receive treatment at a medical center that is experienced in treating the disease. Acute leukemias need to be treated quickly. The goal of therapy is to induce a remission, which means there is no evidence of leukemic cells, and the body returns to normal. Once this is achieved, patients often receive further therapy to prevent a relapse (return of the disease), which is called consolidation therapy.
Chronic leukemias may not need to be treated right away, depending on the symptoms at diagnosis. It has been thought in the past that chronic leukemias could never be cured, but this thinking has changed with the development of new therapies.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are extremely important in furthering our knowledge of this disease. It is through clinical trials that we know what we do today, and many exciting new therapies are currently being tested. Talk to your healthcare provider about participating in clinical trials in your area. You can also explore currently open clinical trials using the OncoLink Clinical Trials Matching Service.
Follow-Up Testing
Patients with acute leukemia are followed closely, with frequent monitoring of blood cell counts, to watch for relapse, after therapy has induced a remission. Patients who have a remission that lasts five years are generally considered cured. In chronic leukemia, blood counts may be monitored for years, with or without treatment, depending on the case.
There have been many promising advances in the treatment of leukemia over the past 40 years. In 1960, only 14% of all patients with leukemia were alive five years after diagnosis. This number increased to 35% in 1970, and is now about 46%. The death rate of children with all types of leukemia has decreased by 61% since the 1970s. Survival of children with acute lymphocytic leukemia, specifically, has increased from 53% to 82% during the same time period. These advances have been made possible by researchers dedicated to studying leukemia and clinical trials of innovative leukemia therapies.

Students Stomp Out Bullying
Prosser School District students wear orange today in and effort to stomp out bullying.
It was a district wide effort as part of anti bullying month students in prosser were decked out in orange.
The effort is called "make it orange and make it end".
Anti-bullying messages filled the hallways, doors, and the backs of t-shirts in every district school.
The entire school community tells us bullying is a problem at every level.
Students and staff both recognize the need for change, and want students to know there are options.
Counselors also expressed how common cyber bullying is today because of popular social media sites.
One student says he sees the problem happening every single day.
"There are certain cliques that make fun of people and all of that and you just gotta find a way to either avoid them or sorta get away from them," says senior Gabriel Cates.
"When you hear we don't have that problem at our school then there should be some raised eyebrows because we pretty much know from research," says counselor Brian Jones.
Some of the resources students can use to report and prevent bullying include anonymous online reports, student support teams, and talking to school counselors.

The facility allows room for 20 students to participate in laboratory activities, used in several courses in the HPPE major.
It is well equipped with:
- Two treadmills
- Three Monark exercise bikes
- One Wingate bicycle ergometer
- Metobolic cart for VO2max testing
- Three computer workstations
- Equipment for other fitness and athletic testing.
The Human Performance Lab is used to test student-athletes in various ways, and thus, can be useful in tracking athletic performance and body composition changes over time (e.g., different training seasons). Students in certain undergraduate and graduate HPPE courses are able to get "hands on" experiences in their field of study; students are both "subjects" and testers as they learn various testing methods.
Testing performed in the Human Performance Lab includes the following (& more):
- VO2max testing for aerobic fitness
- Body composition testing
- Fitness Age testing
- Wingate anaerobic fitness testing
- Jump testing for power
- Blood lactate testing
Dr. Tracey L. Robinson, Associate Professor of Human Performance and Physical Education (HPPE), is the director of the Human Performance Lab. She has been teaching and researching at Adams State University for almost 9 years. Dr. Robinson has a B.S. in Human Kinetics (University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada), a M.S. in Physical Education and Biology (New Mexico State University), and a Ph.D. in Human Performance (Oregon State University).
Each semester, Dr. Robinson and Ms. Megan Suer have at least two Graduate Assistants assigned to help work in the Human Performance Lab. Undergraduate and graduate HPPE majors also have the opportunity to help with research and do practicum courses alongside Dr. Robinson and Ms. Suer in the Human Performance Lab.

Relient K
Canton, OH's Relient K formed in 1998 and joined the parade of Christian punk-pop artists (MxPx, Ghoti Hook, Slick Shoes, etc.) with their self-titled 2000 debut, mixing catchy melodies and snotty attitude with spiritual concerns. The record was produced by dc Talk guitarist Mark Townsend, and the band comprised vocalist/guitarist/pianist Matt Thiessen, guitarist Matthew Hoopes, bassist Brian Pittman, and drummer Stephen Cushman. David Douglas joined up in place of Cushman by the year's end, and Relient K followed up in August 2001 with The Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek. The album sold 300,000 copies and Relient K's momentum continued to build as they played nearly 200 shows in North America before the year closed out. A third full-length, Two Lefts Don't Make a Right... But Three Do, debuted at number 38 on Billboard's Top 200 album chart upon its release in spring 2003. The band didn't waste any time recording a fourth album; MMHMM, which was produced by lead singer Thiessen and dc Talk's Townsend and mixed by Tom Lord-Alge, was released in November 2004 by Gotee/Capitol. MMHMM scanned over 51,000 copies sold during its first week, hitting number 15 on the Top 200 and number one for Christian Albums. It eventually went gold, Relient K's third consecutive album to do so, and the band's mainstream crossover was in full swing with singles "Be My Escape" and "Who I Am Hates Who I've Been" doing very well on modern rock radio and MTV.
Pittman left the group after MMHMM's release (later going on to play with Inhale/Exhale), and John Warne (ex-Ace Troubleshooter) filled in on bass for touring purposes, becoming a permanent member in 2005. Relient K further added Jonathan Schneck as a third guitarist (who also played banjo and bells) that year, bumping them up to quintet status. With Relient K touring constantly in support of MMHMM, the Apathetic EP followed in November 2005 as another treat to hold over fans as the guys readied their next album. Five Score & Seven Years Ago (as in their fifth album in seven years) was largely produced by Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Less Than Jake) and released in early March 2007. True to form, Relient K set out on a full round of nationwide dates, including spring shows with Mae and Sherwood, before releasing the Christmas-themed album Let It Snow Baby... Let It Reindeer (containing several tracks from the band's previous holiday release, Deck the Halls, Bruise Your Hand) later that fall. In October, Douglas announced that he would be leaving Relient K to dedicate himself full-time to his side project Gypsy Parade. He was replaced in early 2008 by Ethan Luck, who would accompany the group during its appearances on that year's Warped Tour. In July, the group released the B-side album The Bird and the Bee Sides, which was packaged with The Nashville Tennis EP. The band released its sixth studio album, Forget and Not Slow Down, in 2009. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi

Great wedge bootie
"This wedge is just as expected. It's very tall, but manageable with the two inch platform. Fits true to size, and are fairly comfortable. It is a loud shoe to walk in, with the solid wedge base you find yourself making a fair amount of noise when walking of hard surfaces. Very sexy, well made shoe."

Silent PicturesFriday, September 18th, 2009
What if Stan Brakhage made comics instead of films? Curator Andrei Molotiu offers a response in Silent Pictures, a group show of comics artists working in the hinterlands of comics abstraction. Wait – comics can be abstract?
Silent Pictures brings to the James Gallery at CUNY Graduate Center some of the most vital imaginations found throughout a three-year call for entries. They come from North America, western Europe, and Australia. Many are American; almost none are women. In her catalog essay, James Gallery Director Linda Norden reveals that no women replied to the call. (Why have there been no great women comic-book artists?)
The show also displays selections from Art Spiegelman's library of wordless comics; and it features a film program for those who really might want to dig for precedents of abstract sequential images.
But the segment of Robert Breer's A Man and His Dog Out for Air, 1955, is absolutely silent. That's because the film strips are unspooled and sandwiched over a lightbox. Frame by frame, we witness loose lines inch toward each other, until they amalgamate into a squiggly scribble that looks like an ant, life-sized. The restless line continues to transform, until it contorts into the image of a portly man walking a dog. The whimsical cartoon straddles abstraction and representation, something and nothing, like a time-based Kandinsky.
"A line is a dot that went for a walk," said Paul Klee, whose ghost coexists here with Brakhage's spirit, leaning against the wall that bears Billy Mavreas' Border Suite, 2008. Reminiscent of drawings from Klee's Bauhaus, the work looks like comic panels that imploded into fractal regenerations of themselves.
At a glance, Klee's Bauhaus colleague, Josef Albers, is apparent in the polychrome plans of Squares within Squares, 2007 by Mark Gonyea. And Jason Overby, from Oklahoma, could be their diligent protégé. His studious, tiny notes in Apophenia, 2008 say things like, "A linear structure is created by an abstract binary opposition. Pencil lets flaws in and is not binary (unless you're thinking conceptually)." Shazam!
Ibn al Rabin exhibits six comics from his collection, Cidre et Schnapps, 2001. They are hilarious and brilliant.
In Rabin's pages, geometric shapes argue with each other, consume each other, and get ambushed in ruthless panelcide. Funny pages, but they also offer a study of the means by which they exist and the conventions that define comics, in general.
I would focus on other examples, but too many candidates are hung too high for much evaluation. Many of the drawings and inkjet prints are intimate in scale and rich in detail, so lord knows why the work is hung salon-style, climbing up the walls like your friendly neighborhood you-know-who. So the walls imitate a comics page? But the gallery walls already compartmentalize the space like panels on a page. Whatever; viewers are advised to bring platforms.
Renée French is one of the few women in the show, but her colossal drawing Straw Dog no. 44, 2009 is enough work for several people. If we accept it as multiple drawings, then that adds to the show 29 drawings made by a woman. And because the multi-paneled drawing echoes the window panes of the gallery, and vice-versa, the work echoes throughout the space.
Andrei Molotiu tells us in his catalog essay, "'Abstract' here is specific to the medium of comics, and only partly overlaps with the way it is used in other fine arts." Still, Mark Stafford Brandi gives us A History of Composition in Abstract Comic Covers, 2001 – a collection of painted collages on masonite panels, one for each ism, trend, and movement from the last few milennia.
SVA faculty member Gary Panter is in the show. You can read more about his work in this Artforum piece by Andrei Molotiu.

SLCL has evolved with the changing needs of the public, offering downloadable eMedia, free online classes, a mobile app and free Wi-Fi at all 20 locations.
SLCL will kick-of National Library Week with Food For Fines. Customers with overdue fines can donate canned food items to reduce their fines.

TriCaster VT[5] Hardware Troubleshooting
Why does my LiveSet flash on program out?
If you are getting brief flashes of preview on your program output while utilizing VT[5] LiveSets, possible culprits could be insufficient bandwidth between memory and processor(s), known as the front-side bus, disk throughput, or if there is an application using too many CPU or memory cycles (such as a LightWave scene rendering in the background).
Use of NewTek LiveSet requires at least 800Mhz front side bus.
If your green-screen sources are playing from a hard drive, and youre experiencing flashing output, you may need to play them from a faster drive.
How can I play back system audio through my VT[5] card?
This answer assumes you want your computer to play back sound from other applications through the VT card.
If this is the case, the preferred solution to support this would be to use a second sound card and patch the audio output from that into the VT card (SX8).
Given that cards that do this are incredibly cheap - less than $30 - it should work well, and keep you actual "production" and "computer" audio separated.
The reason that NewTek does not recommend that you run your computer sound through the VT card itself is that this causes the VT[5] audio drivers to be launched and connected to any running windows application even when you do something as routine as clicking on a file in Windows Explorer; given that a live switching system is meant to have high reliability this is something that it is likely better to avoid ... and indeed why VT[5] defaults to not using the audio output.
Now, if given all of the above you still wish to achieve this, and make it work like VT[4] did, simply re-install your VT[5] software and in the installer select "custom" and install the legacy drivers.

Jody Joy, British Museum
I am the curator responsible for the European Iron Age collection at the British Museum, and will be working with Alexandra Baldwin and Jamie Hood on the Chiseldon Cauldrons project throughout the next year.
At the moment I am taking a back seat in the project, to support Alex and Jamie as far as I can in their conservation work. But once the conservation and scientific analysis is completed it is up to me to work out why so many cauldrons were placed together in a large pit alongside two cattle skulls sometime between 200-50 BC.
In the meantime I have begun to research cauldrons and other metal vessels.
Cauldrons are a very well-known type of Iron Age artefact but surprisingly little is known about them. We think they were used to boil meat and/or to serve alcoholic beverages such as beer or mead. They are substantial artefacts and quite rare so we think they were used for feasting.
Part of the problem is that many cauldrons were discovered in rivers or bogs during the nineteenth-century so we have very little evidence to work with other than the artefacts themselves. This is why the Chiseldon discovery is so exciting. Because the objects were well-excavated we have a detailed record of how they were deposited. We also have up to 13 vessels to compare and contrast.
The discovery has certainly sparked a lot of interest among fellow archaeologists and I have already given a number of public lectures to various universities and archaeological societies.
Late last year I gave a lecture at Leicester University and there was a fantastic turnout. Usually one of the students bakes a cake or biscuits; however, in honour of the cauldrons we were treated to a steaming vat of punch served in a miniature cauldron!
I am extremely excited by what Alex and Jamie have discovered so far. One of the major questions we have is whether the cauldrons were made especially for deposition.
I think we can already suggest that they weren't. The cauldrons that have been excavated so far are very different and look to have been made by different people using different techniques. Some also show possible evidence of repair and past use.
This is giving us a fantastic insight into Iron Age technology and methods of artefact manufacture. It also opens up further questions.
If cauldrons are rare artefacts and the examples we have were not all made at the same time, can we suggest that different communities brought their own vessels to a large feast at Chiseldon?
If so what was the purpose of the gathering and why were the artefacts placed in a pit at the end of the feast? We may not ultimately be able to answer these questions but I can't wait to see what further discoveries Alex and Jamie make so we can at least try.

Feature Story

Wonder and Wildlife at BLM's Campbell Creek Science Center
Today 45 first-graders left their classrooms at Chester Valley, took a bus to the BLM Campbell Creek Science Center, split into three groups (each with their own enthusiastic outdoor guide), and embarked on a journey of outdoor discovery. For one little boy, seeing Campbell Creek for the first time was huge. "This is the longest creek ever!" he exclaimed to Julie Buehler, one of the science instructors. "Is this the Nile River?!"
During the three-hour program, called "Alaska's Animals," children explored the forests and creeks, learned about animal adaptations, and thought about how animals survive in Alaska. Brian Janson, another science instructor, took his group into a spruce forest. He pointed out piles of empty spruce cone shells, then he asked what animals left them behind. The kids thought about it for a while, and then their answer came when they heard squeaky noises way up in the canopy – squirrels! With eyes directed upwards, the children discovered big piles of sticks at the top of the trees where the squirrels made their nests to stay warm in the winter.
"The whole idea is to see what you can learn by the evidence of what was left behind," says Brian. He challenged the young scientists to use this same evidence-based thinking to figure out a tracking mystery game. Before the kids arrived, Brian went to an open snowy field and set up plastic cut-outs of animals tracks -- a line of moose tracks that crossed paths and ended with wolf tracks, and a curious set of raven prints sprinkled in the mix. It didn't take much to pique the children's curiosity. They wondered aloud and worked together to solve the mystery: a moose was hunted by a wolf and later a raven dropped in to feed on the scraps. "I like to help kids understand that science is not just what's in a book," says Brian. "In the outdoors, science is all around them. "
In other activities, children used paint and rubber versions of salmon to make artistic prints that revealed fins, scales, and streamlined bodies that make the fish expert swimmers. The children also played scent games and learned that salmon can smell underwater, following their nose from the deep ocean to the very stream in which they were born to lay eggs and repeat the life cycle. "This was very educational," said one of the chaperones. "I think some of the adults learned a few things too!"
For Julie and her students just listening to the rippling sounds of the creek was a great joy. "I love nature, public lands, and being outside," she says. "If I can help children have a positive experience with the outdoors, hopefully they will continue to explore nature and learn to take care of the land and water." Each day is a new opportunity for Julie to reach kids and help them discover wildlife and the natural world around them. "I just can't imagine not going outside each day. It's so much fun!"

Obviously you in noway have finished beyond AC dungeon if that- or your personal story= which is EPIC by the time you hit 80, and NO MMO has acomplished that till now.
and its apparent you have not unlocked 75% of your skills.
..so, this may not be the game for you- but its FAR from Boring.
Btw GW2 has the same skills available in number as wow and rift. The difference here is you cant have them all on the same bar or at once. But feel free to count your attack skills active and passive. And count how many you have in those games. You will see the numbers not that different. I think people more dupe themselves not being used to a limited bar and choices on said bar.
Both wow and rift had base skills for each class that never change all the way to max. Samething is the case here only it doesnt have a bunch of tool bars hiding it.

...but... the combat in GW2 isn't even that complex at all... and you use the same skills from level 1 to 80 and its basically the same thing repeated over and over... how could you NOT master it by then?
Abviously either you come from past cookie cutter mmos, and apply your play style onto your GW2 character , or your havent reached lvl80- and presuming what you think you do in this game for combat.
Iam not gonna say your playing wrong=caouse the beauty of this mmo is there are multyple ways to use your character in combat- but you may wanna try a different angle to playing him/her.
I respect comments that are justified- but not presumed.
Most memorable games: AoC(Tryanny PvP), RIFT, GW, GW2, Ragnarok Online, Aion, FFXI, FFXIV, Secret World, League of Legends (Silver II rank)

Camping wasen't that bad with a good group and some good chain pulls.
More social interaction then moste games these days. This way you also had to learn where your chars and your group members limit to be moste efficient, with no down time and stady pulls.
-Massive-Industries- Heavy Duty
Yeah, that is nothing new. It even enforces the wrong impression about GW2 combat more. Most of the comments I read about GW2 combat are from players that apparently only played some low lvl PVE and some zergfest DE's. In mass zerg events, you just spam AOE, don't swap weapons and barely have to move. This is what makes GW2 combat seem so simple. When they are on their own, they die all the time, getting the impression that GW2 PVE is zerg or die (and dungeons are assumed to be zerg and respawn).
They should create a video with explanation about combo fields and how much they can make a difference when putting them to efficient use.And some good utility/trait combinations to show how effective certain protection can be. In dungeons for example or the more difficult areas in the game. Because at the moment many players think that dungeons are just zerg and respawn experiences. Even in story mode lol. In that case you are actually playing it wrong.

Ive seen a lot of people comment about the combo fields in dungeons. Makes me curious to try it.
Combo fields are an integral part of the game, period.
Not just in dungeons, you should be learning what they do and how to utilize them to the best of your ability. Anyone who doesn't possess that knowledge is significantly gimping the efficiency of there character.

if you think combat is not complex in gw2, you are extremely wrong. this is coming from an avid pvper from all sorts of games lineage 2, aion, rift, aoc, warhammer online, league of legends, gw1.
Have you played Tera? I enjoyed that combat system much more than I do GW2 at this point.

Why do you make it sound like a bad thing?
The more you practice the more you learn. Repeating something = mastery of said thing. GW2's combat evolves but, you won't see it until you play PvP and see what Traits and Runes can do to COMPLETELY change your build from generic Engineer 1 to not so generic Engineer 2.0
This is not a game.

Because unlike most MMO's there is not an alpha strategy where you pretty much press the same 6 buttons in a specific order over and over again, so most MMO'ers are bad at combat in GW2. Being good at combat in GW2 is about movement in battle, dodges, skill combos, weapon shifts.
Sure during bosses you revert back to basic skill progression but if your just doing a continualy rinse and repeat skill progression your either playing a shitty class i havent tried or you haven't mastered combat at all.
There is one exception and thats if your play a stealth field thief which is just face roll right now but that will get nerfed quickly enough.
I loved the combat in Asheron's Call as a melee character, and my attack choices there were basically limited to "attack high/low/medium" and "attack fast/medium/slow".
The reason it was great was because it was all about positioning and reaction - you position yourself so that your shield was always between you and the enemy, and if you were facing off against casters you watched their animations so you could dodge the spells entirely.
Combat in GW2 so far has been great - just enough options with all your weapon choices so that you have a variety of ways to deal with enemies, but not the overwhelming number of (frequently redundant or useless) skills found in GW1. Add in the ability to dodge or interrupt at key moments and combat becomes a tactical affair where you can often overcome the odds just by playing the right strategy.

The pinnacle of headphone listening.
Pros: Detail, naturalness and resolution on another level above anything else out there.
Cons: You'll never have a good enough source for them and the best rig will cost as much as a quite excellent speaker rig or even a car.
Similarly the 009s have had such an effect on friends who have listened to them. Much like the Omega IIs and a suitable high-end rig, it is possible to make out the form of the studio music was recorded in by the detail of the echo off the walls. Listening to a classical concert I can even hear the detail of the waves of echos from the instruments coming off the walls. With these earspeakers, as Stax terms them, it is as if everything is simply on another level compared to dynamic headphones. Only the more recent high-end orthos, such as the LCD-3s and Hifiman series and maybe the HD-800s, Sony R10s and my Symphones Magnums come anywhere close. Now the SR-009 takes all this to yet another level. In the same way the first time I tried Stax and compared them to my regular headphones everything was so much more clear and real, the 009s have achieved this over even the orthos, which I hold in the highest regard. Questions about resolution, harshness, distortion, ringing and other issues simply seem not to exist.
While Stax will never give quite as much impact, or slam to music as othos can (while maintaining a high level of detail), the orthos, already awesome in this regard, especially with something like a high-end hybrid amp, wont give you instruments and voices with as much clarity as 009s, if they are arguably better all-rounders. The limits are only set by your source and amp, especially the former. I could easily visualise a $25k system with a pair of these (along with a Liquid Lightening or Blue Hawaii SE and Esoteric K-01 DAC).
Tonality-wise they are similar to the old-style Omega I and Lambda, that is, quite a bit brighter than the Omega II, which was always the odd one out in terms of sound. They suffer, like other models, from the "Stax fart" where moving your jaw and breaking the seal causes the protective membranes to make a sucking sound. However, like the original Omega and unlike the Omega II, they seem to be less difficult to drive, with detailed bass even from the older amps, such as the T1S. A good combination I found was the NOS Metrum Octave DAC, which is relatively mellow but still detailed, along with the Stax 727A amp. This gave a number of people an OMG moment listening to acoustic music, though it was not quite the ticket for rock. The bass, like the power output of a Rolls Royce, is "sufficient". The LCD-3 I found more entertaining in that regard.
They are again similar to the Omega I in that they come in an elegant wooden box with the nicest foam of any box I've encountered in recent memory. Opening it up, I was greeted with a "new car" smell, suggesting they source the leather from a factory that makes car seats. The headband has a new 10-click (per side) adjustor, which is quite stiff to adjust but holds firm unlike the old Lambda headbands. Beyond that, the fit is typical Stax -- light and comfortable. The aluminium design is of the highest quality, if it does seem to contrast the rather simple headband arrangement. Like its maker, it is in many ways an understated design, its statement in its perfection of design and sound.
So, ultimately, we have our king. Long live it and its maker I reckon.

If there's one denim staple you need in your closet for all four seasons in the year, it's the perfect basic skinny jean. It's a style you can wear with the most variety of tops, shoes, outerwear, and… let's face it, genres of street style savoir faire. If you want to get the most out of it, we recommend a neutral, medium wash with a bit of stretch (you might need it after Thanksgiving dinner… and for a few months afterward). Long story short, the Henry & Belle Ideal Super Skinny Ankle Jean is one basic skinny we'd highly recommend. Our blog editor, Michelle Christina, explains.
[nggallery id=805]
What was your first thought when you tried them on? These are really stretchy, but the fabric doesn't feel thin and cheap. The weight of the denim is ideal, seriously. And… whoa, no front pockets.
Where/when would you wear these? Definitely a great casual jean. I'll be wearing them with oversized sweaters and moccasins until snow falls (and then I'll switch to snow boots). I can see these being a great jean to pack when I'm traveling too. Versatile, and I bet I'll always feel good in them. Might take me a while to get used to not having front pockets though!
How's the fit? It's great. They sit high enough on the hips and aren't suctioned to my legs, but they still have a distinct skinny jean feel. I think these may have set a new standard for skinny jeans in my closet…
Love these jeans? Grab your pair at Henry & Belle Online!
