Cute but not very comfortable
"My son loved these shoes. The color is very vibrant but the rubber style isn't very comfortable and resulted in blisters on his heel. We returned shoe for the Keen fabric ones."

Not Worth Anything
"Only because DSW requires a star value did these shoes get one star, These shoes broke after the third wear, and that was only to my son's 3 hour Kindergarten. They caused blisters and red welts. The sizing was correct, but they are hard plastic. We have been buying Keen's every summer for our children for 5 years and these were terrible. They are not the normal cloth that Keen uses, it's the Croc type plastic, fine on Crocs because of the design, but terrible for the Keen with all the straps that can dig into their feet."

Posted on 12/29/2004 7:16:22 AM PST by floriduh voter
The Terri Schindler Schiavo Daily Threads are created month to month as we watch local and national news regarding Terri and her family.
Since Terri's supporters are in every time zone, you may see something FIRST. Please share news with us that you don't see here already. Now, why would you want to do that? Terri's Daily Thread for September/October of 2004 was viewed over 15,000 times. Terri's November Daily Thread was viewed over 6,000 times. December's thread is over 3,000 views.
More and more good folks are finding out about Terri and that judicial tyranny would take her life, but for lots and lots of prayer and non-stop lobbying of relatives, friends, clergy, our leaders, the media, a passerby, a cashier - ANYONE who you feel comfortable chatting with.
Folks always want to know how can this be in America or on earth for that matter? Unfortunately, this is really happening to an innocent woman who just celebrated her 41st birthday. She's not the only one but she's the one with devoted parents and siblings who knows what's in Terri's heart. Terri has a strong will to live. That's apparent. It's been 14 years.
Besides, feeding tubes have been around practically since the Civil War. They are not high tech devices. Terri is "not hooked up to machines". Her feeding tube is the diameter of a piece of spaghetti.
Talkin' about Terri is the best way to lobby for her. It is a salespitch to save her life and subsequently, many lives. If you've never sold anything in your life, START NOW. START WITH TERRI.
See Terri's flash movies if you need more information. You can see for yourself that's she's interactive and follows the doctor's instructions.
Visit: http://www.terrisfight.org
NOTE: Terri's December Dailies are noted as a source above. There are lots of important links at the very top of that thread. If you missed Terri's Celebration of Life, you can click on it from there.
Governor Jeb Bush of Florida and Governor Mike Huckabee are protecting their most vulnerable citizens. Jeb Bush has appealed Terri's Law to the United States Supreme Court and Mike Huckabee recently made the following statement regarding the Medicaid Program ..."You don't pull feeding tubes from people. You don't pull the wheelchair out from under the child with muscular dystrophy."
Please email Governor Bush and thank him for all he is doing and press him to keep fighting for Terri no matter what happens at the U.S. Supreme Court:
Please visit Governor Huckabee's Staff Page and email him a big thank you:
You can join freeper "ohioanfromflorida"'s Ping List or join "floriduh voter"'s Terri's Freepers.
I want to thank Each and Every One of You for all the volunteer hours you have put in!
Keep the Faith and Best Wishes for 2005 from Terri Country,
Floriduh Voter
Mini-Ping to TERRI DAILIES JANUARY 2005. Happy New Year!
Mini-Ping. Happy New Year!
Mini-Ping. Happy New Year from Terri Country.

I blame the Sixth Circuit Civil Court Judges and the ex-Senate President Jim King for writing BARBARIC LAWS that need to be re-visited by the new Florida House & Senate.
When they deemed that nutrition and hydration was "medical treatment", Terri was eligible for the death penalty. BARBARIC AND CRIMINAL.
Does that mean I need a prescription to go to Burger King? Who wouldn't starve to death without food or water? We'd all die under those circumstances, every one of us.
And Terri's isolated in a room, husband's orders. Terri has not been outside for three years (except when the big hospital wouldn't let her in to save her life). Then she was outside trying to get in... She FINALLY got in after 2 to 3 hours and that's another story altogether.
Welcome to Free Republic! If you would like to be added to my Terri ping list, just let me know here or by private reply (FReepmail).
Terri ping! Gearing up for the 2005 Fight for Terri's Life!
If anyone would like to be added to or removed from my Terri ping list, please let me know here or by FReepmail!
God bless Terri Schindler-Schiavo and her loving family!
Here's the link for the December dailies for anyone who didn't know where to find them.
Meant for my last post to go to ALL.
Gearing up is right! I have troll repellant on my bunny slippers just in case.
Michael is not Terri's ex-husband but he will not divorce her. He lives with a woman and their two kids with her in a palatial residence IN STARK CONTRAST, TERRI LIVES IN A HOSPICE ON MEDICAID.
There's going to be another investigative report installment here on this thread. WATCH FOR IT.
LOL! I just sent you FM.
President Huckabee?
I love the links he has up! Is he a FReeper now, too? Or just a lurker?
Love it! Can we post the whole thing?http://www.therant.us/staff/shoemaker/since_when_does_the_judicial_branch_establish_law.htm
Terri ping to 19! If anyone would like to be on/off my Terri ping list, please let me know here or by private reply.
Let all add our thanks to you, FV, for all you do.
I'll be back later...
May 2005 bring a Happy New Year to Terri and her family!
Terri's January thread should be a blockbuster judging by feedback I'm getting. I'm glad to be able to help Terri's folks here. Free Republic is THE BEST web site on earth.
Yes, let's all give a big THANK YOU to floriduh voter for manning the front lines for us and keeping us informed. Without her help, I know we wouldn't be where we are today.
Post 25 and thank you ohioanfromflorida. You are here every day if you aren't stuck in a snowback.
Shame on me for not proofreading my last to you - it's the holidays and I get a pass.
Thanks for the ping!
Yes, thanks florida voter, and Happy New Year to Terri, her family and all her freepers! May this be the year when she goes home to her family. God bless everyone who has worked so tirelessly for her.
I just caught the typo in your post. Looks like we may have more than one "voter" from "Florida". There's floriduh voter and Floridavoter. One has spaces and no caps, the other capitalizes Florida and leaves no space. Terri's Freeper is "floriduh voter". Just for future reference.
I've had my handle since the 2000 election debacle. Take care now...
Clearwater, FL (LifeNews.com) -- Terri Schiavo's estranged husband appears to have ended his involvement in one of the two ongoing legal battles in the fight to save her life.
In an interview this week, Michael Schiavo's lead attorney said he would cease responding to Terri's parents efforts to prevent her from being starved to death. In that aspect of the case, Bob and Mary Schindler are asking the courts to declare that removing Terri's feeding tube and causing her death would be a violation of her First Amendment religiuous liberties. The Schindlers say such an action would contravene Terri's Catholic faith and that recent statements by Pope John Paull II confirm the church's strong opposition to euthanasia.
George Felos, the euthanasia advocate who is Michael's lead attorney, confirmed speculation that has existed for two months that Michael will drop out of that case. "There is no prospect of finality,'' Felos told the Associated Press on Tuesday. "They (the appeals court) allow the Schindlers to attack the judgment no matter how frivolous," Felos told AP. "The only way the case can end is if the Schindlers stop attacking the final judgment or the court says no more stays. Until then we are just going to be on this revolving door.''
Felos has informed the 2nd District Court of Appeal that he is not responding to the motion the Schindlers filed appealing a judge's decision throwing out their religious liberties argument. Despite dropping out of that case, Felos and Michael Schiavo are sticking with their lawsuit seeking to overturn Terri's Law. It is headed to the U.S. Supreme Court on appeal.
FV SAYS: They are still going to fight Jeb Bush and Terri's Law in the US Supreme Court, undoubtedly aided by the Florida or DC branch of the ACLU.

Post 34 dated December 28, 2004. They're going to try to win the big one in DC.
Terri ping to 34! If anyone wants to be added to or removed from my Terri ping list, please let me know here or by Freepmail.
Thanks for the ping!
President Huckabee?
Wouldn't that be Great!! Gov. Huckabee is a Devoted and Faithful Follower of our Great King in Heaven; he would make an Awesome and Godly President!
George Felos just issued a press release stating that the 2nd District Court of Appeals rejected the appeal of Terri's family for another trial. The 2nd DCA did not write an opinion. George Felos Press Rlease is below
DUNEDIN, FLORIDA, December 29, 2004--Florida's Second District Court of Appeal, in an order without opinion, has denied the appeal of THERESA SCHIAVO'S parents to reopen her case based upon a recent statement of Pope John Paul II. The parents' claim--that MRS. SCHIAVO would now choose to be tube fed due to the Pope's speech on the subject--was first rejected by the Pinellas County Probate Court in October.
MICHAEL SCHIAVO, MRS. SCHIAVO'S husband and Guardian, who chose not to file a brief in the parents' appeal, praised the appellate court's "prompt and definitive denial of the Schindlers' frivolous claim." The probate court's stay order, which has prevented the removal of MRS. SCHIAVO'S artificial life-support until resolution of the "Papal" appeal, will automatically terminate upon the issuance of the appellate court's mandate. The mandate will be issued in fifteen days, or upon denial of any motion for rehearing filed by the parents.
There is currently no stay preventing removal of the feeding tube in the constitutional litigation between MICHAEL SCHIAVO and Governor Bush, now pending in the United States Supreme Court.
For more information contact Felos & Felos, P. A. - (727) 736-1402.

Ping to 39. Terri's life is in danger
Oh, my Lord!
Terri ping to 39! Please, Lord, do not let our pleas fall on deaf ears!
If anyone would like to be added to or removed from my Terri ping list, please let me know here or by Freepmail.
Thanks for posting that. Please make it a separate thread if you can, so that we can gain maximum exposure for Terri. This is so awful! I will ping others as soon as I can. I'll explain later.
I thought the stay that Greer ordered would remain in effect until "all" legal appeals (including SCOTUS) were exhausted. Anyone?
That's what I thought too. Let's ask Juan. He stays up to date and seems to understand these filings.
Terri's estranged husband doesn't need to bother fighting in court, because he already owns the judge. Judge Greer is representing Michael Schiavo.
Praying right now for this Situation! :(
nicely put, fv. best to you and yours.
Pres. Huckabee ... h'mmm!
This afternoon, attorney for Michael Schiavo, George Felos, issued a press release praising the 2nd DCA's (District Court of Appeal) decision to deny Terri's family the right to a new trial based upon her rights to religious freedom.
Felos wrote, "There is currently no stay preventing removal of the feeding tube in the constitutional litigation between MICHAEL SCHIAVO and Governor Bush, now pending in the United States Supreme Court."
WE WILL BE VIGILING AT HOSPICE WOODSIDE VERY SOON. I HOPE that someone steps in and issues another STAY.

"As school budgets tighten, more and more teachers are looking for alternative ways to enhance the learning experience for their students, and the CenturyLink Teachers and Technology program is available to these innovative teachers," said Nate Marcotte, CenturyLink vice president and general manager for Greater Utah. "CenturyLink's vision is to improve people's lives by delivering advanced technologies, and we are proud to work with the Utah State Office of Education to give support directly to teachers doing the same thing for their students."
In the 2013 program, a third-party review committee, including representatives from the Utah State Office of Education, identified the 23 grantees out of almost 285 applications received. Of the 23 grants awarded, 5 teachers in Southern Utah received the funds for their grant requests.
The teachers will use the funds to purchase technology with which to engage students and supplement their curriculum:
Lolene Gifford, a teacher at Hurricane Intermediate School in the Washington School District, asked for iPad devices to create news online, a program called We're Online! Hurricane Intermediate News.
Todd Sparks, a teacher at Desert Hills Middle School in the Washington School District, submitted a request for a Makerbot 3D printer that will open the door to the next generation of imagination.
Sherman Howard, a teacher at Hurricane Intermediate School, will purchase technology for the students to learn about alternative solar energy.
Amy Werrett, a teacher at Three Falls Elementary School in the Washington School District, submitted a grant request to purchase iPads for speech and language skills improvement.
Shawn Carter, a teacher at Vista Charter School in Ivins, will purchase technology to support a program called "Know Your Heart" to monitor a healthy heart for a healthy life.

QD: News Every Day--In case you missed it ...
With all the hubbub of recent weeks, some news stories have slipped through the cracks.
A vision of the future of medicine
Continuous monitoring, telemedicne and social media may work in tandem someday to alert of impending heart attacks, said Eric Topol, FACP, at a health care executives summit this week. Alerts would be sent to people's smartphones to warn people to seek help fast. (He didn't mention whether someone's Facebook status would automatically be updated, though.)
Dr. Topol, director of the Scripps Translational Science Institute in San Diego and former chair of the Cleveland Clinic's department of cardiovascular medicine, gave his keynote addresses to the American College of Healthcare Executives in Chicago. He said the more common use of social media involves the patient communities that develop around disease states, leading to trust in those peer groups rather than in physicians. (Free registration required to view.)
Primary care shifting to pharmacies
Pharmacists are taking advantage of their face time with patients, filling in the roles of drug educator and chronic disease coach while filling scripts.
One pharmacist described a monthly coaching program that covers a disease each month. At one meeting, a pharmacist delivered an overview on managing cholesterol, then weighing and measuring everyone and giving them a pedometer to encourage them to walk 10,000 steps a day.
Who'd move for single-payer salvation?
Doctors from around the country told an activist group that they would move to Vermont if the state adopted a single-payer system. They see single-payer systems as a better alternative to insurance dictates and paperwork and would be willing to vote with their feet, so to speak.
Hidden expenses to health care
Out-of-pocket costs not accounted for in previous analyses can reach $1,355 per consumer, in addition to the $8,000 on the books for doctor fees and hospital care. Hidden costs adds up to $363 billion, or nearly 15% more than what's officially recorded, according to a report from the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions. The report accounts not only for time off to care for elderly relatives, which accounts for half of the hidden costs, but also money spent on ambulances, alternative medicines, nutritional products and vitamins, and weight-loss products.
Drug-resistant tuberculosis spreading
Multi-drug-resistant strains of tuberculosis could kill hundreds of thousands of people and infect more than 2 million people by 2015, reports the World Health Organization. And treating this group with the wrong drug could create 25,000 cases of extensively-drug-resistant tuberculosis each year.

I am glad to see that a few pharmacists are interacting with their customers about the drugs they provide. Now whether they are up to becoming a "chronic disease coach" is something else entirely. But then again, why not -- given the obscene cost patients pay for their prescriptions, the pharmacies can afford a little extra time. Surely no one will pay physicians for the same service! I am now waiting for the inevitable plantiff's attorney TV ads "Have you been injured by negligence by your chronic disease coach?" Share the pain with all my team members on the PCMH.
Single payor salvation by moving to Vermont? The link opens a press release for the "Vermont Physicians for a National Health Program", the organization that (surprise!) sponsored the survey. Something not mentioned in the text of the QD:News. Let's try to follow some basic standards of journalism by looking for balanced reporting and mentioning sources.
- Ryan DuBosar said...
In an update to this, State Rep. George Till, MD, a physician who supports the move to single-payer, conducted a survey that found doctors are split about a single-payer system; 44% for and 46% against. More than 1 in 4 Vermont physicians would stop practicing medicine if the state switched to a single-payer system.
Results are being disputed, but Dr. Till noted that the state already has a primary care shortage. More details are at http://www.wcax.com/Global/story.asp?S=14390288.

Hey Sal--This is a follow up to my last posting. Hope the weekend was good and fun filled for you. I made the trip to Ft Lee VA to see my son, who is in the Army and is there for training. I think I told you he won't be able to come home for Thanksgiving, so his mother made dinner and froze it and sent me up there with it. He and his friends had a great time. I also took them to lunch one day and went to church on Sunday morning with my son. Hope you're ready for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Be safe and have a great week and a great holiday ahead. Carl

Thanks for the friendship. Enjoy the rest of the week and weekend and stay safe.
Hi Sal--Saw you on line and thought I would drop in. It's almost that time so I'll say Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I'm taking a trip to Virginia on Friday for a couple of days. My son is in Army training at Ft Lee, and can't make it home for the holiday, so I'm going to see him and his friends whoa re also not able to make it home. I'll buy them all some civilian food as a way of thanking them for making the committment to the military as I did oh so many years ago. It's the least I can do for them, then, I'll be home for Thanksgiving. Be safe nad have a great rest of the week. Carl

PRICE-Our loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, Joseph Antonio Cha, age 87, passed away peacefully March 31, 2009 while surrounded by his family.
He was born May 27, 1921 in Kenilworth, Utah to Michael Angelo and Mary Pavignano Cha and then moved to Mutual, Utah where he lived for 27 years. After graduating from Carbon High School he moved to Berkeley, Calif. where he lived with his half brother John Scarci and his wife. Joseph worked at the Alameda Naval Air Station. About a year after World War II began, Joseph enlisted in the Army Air Corp. He attended basic training in Monterey, Calif. and was inducted into the Army Air Corp at Fort Ord on Nov. 6, 1942. He was sent to La Junta, Colo. where he was a member of the 1007th Two Engine Flying Training Squad, taught army cadets to fly, and became certified in Engine and Airplane Maintenance. Upon completion of his training, he volunteered to go overseas. He was sent to North Africa on the USS America troopship. He was a mechanic and crew chief in the 90th Photo Recon Wing Third Photo Group Twelfth Photo Recon Squadron on the P-38 airplane. During his 2½ years overseas, he served in Tunisia-La Marsa, Sicily, Naples, Foggia, Arno, Southern France, and North Apennins-Po Valley. During his seven campaigns he was awarded the Silver Star and two Bronze Stars. He was also issued a Unit Citation, Good Conduct Medal, Victory medal, and European-African-Middle Eastern Service Awards. When the war in Europe ended, he was ordered to go to Japan.
After traveling on a Hawaiian shipper through the Panama Canal, his ship was notified that the war in Japan had ended. He was ordered to go to New Jersey. Upon arrival in New Jersey, his orders to report to Seymour Johnson Field in Goldsboro, N.C. were changed to Fort Douglas, Utah, where he was discharged on Oct. 4, 1945.
After the war was over, he went back to the Naval Air Station in Alameda, but didn't like the large city. He decided to return to Mutual and work in the coal mines. It was in Price that he met his wife Marion D'Ambrosio, who was the sweetheart of his life. They were married on July 29, 1953. Together they raised seven children. They also have eight grandchildren. He is a member of Notre Dame de Lourdes Catholic Church, Stella de America Lodge #77, American Legion Post #21, and United Mine Workers of America Local #9958.

Love the look.....toe is too narrow
"I love these shoes and I was disappointed when they did not fit. Toe was very narrow for me but my feet are a little on the wide side. I had to return these and did not order a bigger size due to the length being too long if I went up. If you have a narrow foot these would work for you. Gorgeous shoe!"

I love projects with barn wood. Its perfectly dented up, dinged up and dirtied up. And even though you may not know it, that barn wood has some sort of story behind it.
I'm lucky enough to know this barn wood's story. It came from my great grandfather's barn. Its part of the same barn wood that I used on my kitchen island. This was really simple to make, y'all. I took four pieces of it and wood glued 'em together. I used a clamp to hold it together while drying. EASY! This wood is tounge and groove, so those small horizontal pieces basically fit behind the groove of the vertical pieces. After it was dried, I did take hot glue and run along the seams just to give it a less splintery edge. I added a piece of twine with staples for hanging and put hot glue over the staples so they wouldn't scratch anything it was against.
It makes me smile knowing a little piece of my Hey Bud's (I know, weird name for a grandfather, y'all know I'm a fruitcake though) farm is with me. A material piece anyway, I don't think my whole heart ever left.

"You are all going to poop yourselves." BillMurphy
"Laugh and the world laughs with you. Weep and you weep alone."
TBC is still my fondest memory ever in gaming so I agree with mikepreachwow.
I definitely agree with a lot of the video, and I actually think there is a way to maintain both the elitism (not used in the traditional negative sense) of top tier raids as well as accessibility. The answer lies in not making previous raid tiers (let alone previous expansions' raids and dungeons) utterly obsolete the moment a new tier of content is released.
Imagine how much content current WoW would have if it featured a down-scaling system similar to GW2 or even FFXI. This isn't meant to be a "praise the holy features of GW2!" moment, so bear with me. I'm simply inviting you to imagine this one particular feature, perhaps not implemented in exactly the same way, in an aged game like WoW, which now features 4 full expansions of content. Imagine if every WoW raid and dungeon was still challenging and offered relevant rewards. There would be no need to remake 1 or 2 classic dungeons with each expansion; they'd all still be available!
But not only that, the top tier of content could once again be made to be ridiculously challenging and become an elite feat. The rest of the WoW community, that 99%, would still have so much content to enjoy. The journey would continue to exist for both subsets. Then when a new tier comes out once again, that supposed 1% would move on (in addition to still being able to raid any other content they please), while the previous raids would continue to be progressed by the rest of the WoW raiding community. This content will eventually be able to be seen, relevantly, by all WoW players as a function of both added time dedicated to downing those bosses as well as slightly improved stats (after down-scaling).
Now, I do think several things will need to be monitored to actually make all content relevant, namely dungeon rewards compared to current tier gear as well as just how challenging the older content remains after down-scaling. I think increased gear power after down-scaling needs to be significant enough to allow players who couldn't beat that content while it was top tier to get in there and, after making an earnest effort, begin to down the bosses, but not so significant that it feels like a level 85 group returning to a level 70 raid and just blasting their way through, or even a T6 geared group returning to T4 content and completely dominating everything without abiding by the raid mechanics.
But those are all just the logistics of implementation. The idea stands regardless of tuning.
I kind of agree but the issue is not that the raid content is too easy it's that blizzard make it avaliable on PTR's for month for guilds to play and make guides, they've been doing this much more since and including Wrath.
I think blizzard have also gone mad with different types of raids, 10man, 25man, 10man Hardmode, 25man hardmode, LFR 10man, LFR 25man -- they should just go with 20man normal and Hardmode and it they must keep everyone happy include a 10man LFR, but only make this accessable a month after the end boss has been killed by a 20man raid (on a per server basis).
Blizzard have talked about moving to a 1 raid size of 20 but I tihnk they're scared of pssing off established 10 and 25 man groups, but I say do it anyway in the long run it will be better for every one.
FYI, litchking only fell 48 hours later cus of a bug with saronite bombs, all bosses upto the LK were avaliable on a PTR so most guilds after spending a day getting to max level spent the next few hours getting through bosses they've fought a 100 times before and spending the rest of the day learning LK.
I played solid for 2 years after BC and on and off for 3 more years. I unsubbed and uninstalled 3 days ago. I was saddened by what I saw. I'm not bagging on WoW, but it is not the same game it was -- AT ALL.
I'm not saying it's "bad." It's just not for me. My guild and everyone I knew or met who played WoW is gone. They moved on.
From my experience up to now, the game is not the same because -- especially because -- the community is not the same. I realize things change, games change and "evolve." But the direction WoW has taken discourages community and communication. It's all about grabbing the lewts as fast as possible and using other people to help you achieve that end only because it is necessary to have others help you. That is not community building.
And other people are necessary to show your stuff off to. That's the only other reason you need people around in the current iteration of WoW. It was a sad a lonely experience for me -- ironic because the queues on my server were longer than ever.
That's what made me sad about WoW. We aren't going to change it. There is a new generation of gamers who are not like the first generation of WoW players, so WoW will not go back to how it was. It's time for me to move on. That's all.

More importantly, IMO, is to think about what this says about our society. What's happening in WoW and other games is only a microcosm of how our society is becoming.
That's what makes this so hard to accept. This is the direction consumer culture is taking on its headlong race to oblvion. People have no idea what quality is. They have now idea about hard work, honor, justice, etc.
Oh...now I sound like an old guy. This is what old people where saying about my generation...
Good vid and some interesting facts about how long it took
to take out the newest boss's back in the day ! I remember
"Finally!" lol getting attuned for Molten Core, our guild loved that
place! Now it's just a grind of rep and dailies to get anything,
granted we grinded in vanilla , somehow tho it did'nt feel that
way. Killing the players abilty to feel somewhat "unique" in game-
play and style.But it has its followers as 10 mill. makes it still ..
top dog in mmo subs.
Very valid for the Cata period, but I don't think he did his research for MoP.
You can't just jump into the raids. They are tiered, just like in the orginal game.
Spot on...things used to be EPIC becasue they where! I still remember the day we killed ragnaros for the first time it was INSANE on ventrilo. 40 psychopaths terrorizing there neighbors across europe along the lines of "FUCK YOU RAGGY" and " RAAAAAWWWRRRRR" Stuff like that creates moments you never forget.
Got those same sensations raiding in Sw:tor...LOL
well, gotta say the video is spot on; Blizzard has either lost their most creative minds or is aiming in shifting WoW's playerbase to younger ages (perhaps in preparation for Titan project?).
Seeing those raid instances did give me a shiver, because I remembered the times when warrior gear would come with +spirit and getting your hands on any tier armor was considered an achievement. Those were fun times, and they made player cooperation a necessity in order to best the best the game had to offer. Since then, things have been going south, effectively having gear and content being delivered on request with teh pressing of a button.
Ah well, time to move on I guess...
Slightly OTT but he's right. Not just for WoW, but for pretty much every mainstream mmo these days.

Just face it us (old-school players) are a dieing breed and either have to giev in to the kids who want things easy or quit playing MMORPG's all together *opting latter choice*
Not yet theres still hope with sandbox games coming from indie devs. EvE is doing well( good game but im a littel biased on that lol). Archeage looks promising as a pve sandbox. Lets not forget Darkfall which I will be playing. I'm a big pvp guy and im currently enjoying the hell out of the first darkfall.
As far as themeparks I think TESO jsu tmight surprise people, but news so far isn't looking good.
I can't be bothered with raiding in WoW anymore.
Raiding used to feel magical to me.
Now it feels like a weekly version of dailies.
It's just something to grind in order to stay current and keep up with everybody else.
The bosses have become a blur to me. I've stopped caring. There is nothing big or scary about them. There is no risk other than time lost and a repair bill which the dailies you grind easily cover anyway. Most of the difficulty of the raid lies not in downing the bosses, but keeping people together if something doesn't go smooth or fast enough for them, which is just so sad. At the end of the day, the bosses are just loot vending machines where X number of people have to hold hands and perform a specific dance which is often dictated to them by an online guide, YouTube video, the raid leader or even an addon in order to activate the dropping of purple shinies.
I never come out of a raid these days feeling like a hero.
Sure, you can up the challenge by doing hard mode, but to me it has the same problem as replaying a single player game in hard mode. I've already seen the content. Playing something in hard mode is only interesting to me if the basic mechanics of the game really speak to me. WoW is not that kind of game since a lot of the raid mechanics seem rather made up and on rails. Almost like that awful D&D session back in high school school with the DM who insisted that High Lord Archdemon Ba'Dass could only be killed if certain events took place during the encounter because that's how the adventure module he bought at the store was written.
But that's just how I feel. Your experience may be entirely different and equally valid.
I'm a big ol' fluffy carewolf. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
It sounds to me like he's on a nostalgia trip, without context.
Relaistically your never going to get that sense of wonder again, when you first played and experienced your first raid. I remember running MC in the beginning, the journey was great, in a way, getting to that point. What my brain choses to forgot though is all grinding I had to do through on Strah/Scolo for the dungeon sets and then the upgrades from LBRS and then the grinding to get to UBRS, to get the gear to show up for MC. Let alone all the pots mats I had to grind and the rep stuff from Hydraxion.
Look I've been there, I loved TBC, I thought it had the best raiding content in terms of progression, but most people friggin hated it, especially from a guild cohesion perspective. Stuck on water element boss in SSC because the tanks didn't have the right resistence sets for weeks, let alone Kel'Thas or Sunwell, which barely anyone did. People complained, if people don't see the content they stop subbing, that's the flaw in he's argument. People will not, 'reeducate', themselves to believe they have the grind/ be decent to see the content. They'll just stop playing, as I saw in Wrath on Rotface 25man because it's not, 'fun', anymore.
Any old school raiders can moan as much as they like, or say there needs to be a, 'journey', but if your honest it's just nostalgia talking. We saw with Cata, when the raids started out tougher most of the playerbase hated it and complained or ended up leaving. Nowadays we have so many variations of the same raid, (which requires less dev time), it's a joke but it does suit the playerbase that is there now, becasue they can see the content.
We can't turn the clock back, no matter how some may like to...
This looks like a job for....The Riviera Kid!
I agree with the video. By todays standard what he is talking about is called a grind and considered bad; You had to work to see content because it was hard. But it also made downing bosses an achievement.
(And now days when blizzard does add content that is more difficult, like the heroic troll dungeons. Players just complain and then no one wants to tank)
Originally posted by Johnie-Marz (And now days when blizzard does add content that is more difficult, like the heroic troll dungeons. Players just complain and then no one wants to tank)
Thiis sums it up. Blizzard tried to make content more challenging with Cata heroics. people bitched and bitched and bitched leaving the obvious conclusion that people do not want harder content as a majority.
What raiding misse smost is the sense of scale. 10 man is a glorified group. 20 man is barely a raid. 40 was a decent compromise with EQ1. 10 man is ridiculous.

Blizzard created this problem because of the instant gratification crowd. Also the whiners that cried since they paid $15 like everyone else they "deserve" to see the content.
Today's player base finds it unacceptable to wipe. One wipe and you get people raging.
I remember wiping in heroic Arcatraz quite a bit. Then again quite often in MgT.
No one raged. We just got back at it and eventually finished.
I also miss the attunements for dungeons. It was a great way to have guildies out doing stuff in the world together working towards a future goal.
Yes, I miss the old WoW.

The guy in the video is another one who believes that he knows better than Blizzard about what is good for WoW and what is not. I was just like him till a couple of years ago. You wan't to know why Bliizard steered WoW towards the path described in the footage? Take a good look at the gamer demographics puplished over the last 3 - 4 years and if you have half a brain and are able to comprehend basic number figures then you'll have your answers.
Blizzard like all other game companies is not the salvation army like some people delude themselves it is.
You know what happened to that teary-eyed trip down nostalgia lane? The raiders happened.
When, in TBC, they decided it was better to poach other guilds instead of taking newer players, it happened. When they decided that it was no longer their place to teach new people how to raid, it happened. When they decided that they were too good to have to regear new recruits, it happened. They did it to themselves. And what -happened- was that a chain of guilds started forming and people would move from one to another to another straight on up until they saw the content...then many of them would go on their way. After all, you recruit a bunch of guild-hoppers, why would you be surprised when they guild-hop? This led to only an incredibly tiny number of people seeing anything and led to extreme frustration on the part of everyone else who -also- wanted that magical journey but couldn't get it because of the guys at the top stealing their talent out of laziness. They left the room for the 'we deserve to see it too' argument, and -now- they're all misty-eyed about it, complaining to all and sundry about how the games are trash nowadays, all the while refusing to accept the responsibility for causing it in the first place.
No, what was trash was the entitlement attitude that the top raiders had when they tore apart the guilding system. You reap what you sow.

Perennials, or plants and flowers that come back year after year, are found in virtually every yard. Perennial flowers work in multiple situations: in whole garden beds, in combination with annuals and bulbs, as accent to shrubs and trees, and in containers and windowboxes. In addition, perennials often increase in size each year, which means they can often be divided and added to other spots in the landscape.

garden plans for perennials
Agapanthus is a landscape staple in warm-winter regions, and it's no wonder why. This easy-to-grow perennial produces colorful globes of blue or white trumpet-shape flowers in summer and fall. Its evergreen strappy leaves add texture to beds, borders, and containers.
Agapanthus blooms best in a spot where it gets full sun and has moist, well-drained soil. Divide it every three to four years to keep clumps healthy and vigorous.
If you live in a cool-winter area, you can overwinter agapanthus in containers by bringing the pots to a cool (around 40 degrees F) spot and watering them only once a month or so. In spring, move the containers back outdoors after all danger of frost has passed. Potted agapanthus is said to bloom best when slightly root-bound.
Among the most architectural plants, agaves feature bold succulent leaves that set the tone for wherever they're planted. They're incredibly heat- and drought-tolerant and most are long-lived. Many varieties bear sharp spines along leave margins and at the leaf tip, which adds to their dramatic presentation. The bluish-green rosettes naturally spread by producing offsets at the base of the plant. It is an excellent choice for sunny, hot, dry areas, especially desert regions, with good drainage.
Ajuga is one of the most indispensable groundcovers around. It has many uses and looks great much of the year.
Also known as carpetweed or bugleweed, ajuga forms a 6-inch-tall mat of glossy leaves that always seem to look neat and fresh. In many cases, the leaves are colored with shades of purple, white, silver, cream, or pink. Individual plants grow as a rosette, but they intertwine to form a solid carpet that withstands some foot traffic. Blue, lavender, pink, or white flower spikes adorn plants spring to early summer.
Ajuga is great in rock gardens, in the front of beds and borders, under leggy shrubs or small trees, along paths, and just about any other place in the landscape you want to cover the ground with attractive foliage and little flowers.
Alstroemerias are best known as cut flowers, where their rich colors and lovely veining grace many a vase, where they'll last for as long as two weeks. But they can also be grown in the garden, where they do best in light, well-drained soil. They bloom freely through the summer and come in almost all shades of the rainbow except true blue.
Where they're perennials, in the warmest parts of the country, deadhead flowers when they are done blooming to prevent them from spreading too much by seed.
Anemones are lovely, delicate flowers that dance atop slender stems, giving them their poetic common name -- windflower. Depending on the type, anemones bloom in spring, summer, or through fall with pretty, slightly cupped flowers in rose, pink, or white rising over distinctive, deeply lobed foliage.
Plants grow best in partial shade but tolerate full sun in Northern regions. If you're lucky, they'll be happy where they're planted. In some cases, you may even need to divide plants frequently to prevent them from overtaking neighboring perennials.
Angelica is a tall, hardy biennial herb with dramatic stalks that can be candied and used on cakes or cookies. The first year, the plant produces beautiful frilly green foliage. The second year, angelica sends up flower stalks and then produces seeds. The flowers and foliage make a dramatic back-of-the-border accent in perennial beds. The celery-flavor stems may be eaten raw or candied for use in baking. Use the dried root in tea. Plants might self-sow, but plant new angelica each year to ensure a constant supply. Grow it in full sun or dappled shade in rich, organic soil.
Grow artemisias for the magnificent silver foliage that complements nearly all other perennials and ties together diverse colors within the garden. They're nothing short of stunning next to white or blue flowers.
They thrive in hot, dry, sunny conditions such as a south-facing slope. A number spread rapidly to the point of being aggressive, so consider limiting yourself to varieties listed below that are well-behaved.
Asters get their name from the Latin word for "star," and their flowers are indeed the superstars of the fall garden. Some types of this native plant can reach up to 6 feet with flowers in white and pinks but also, perhaps most strikingly, in rich purples and showy lavenders.
Not all asters are fall bloomers. Extend the season by growing some of the summer bloomers, as well. Some are naturally compact; tall types that grow more than 2 feet tall benefit from staking or an early-season pinching or cutting back by about one-third in July or so to keep the plant more compact.
Astilbe brings a graceful, feathering note to moist, shady landscapes. In cooler climates in the northern third or so of the country, it can tolerate full sun provided it has a constant supply of moisture. In drier sites, however, the leaves will scorch in full sun.
Feathery plumes of white, pink, lavender, or red flowers rise above the finely divided foliage from early to late summer depending on the variety. It will spread slowly over time where well-situated. Most commercially available types are complex hybrids.
Showy, brightly colored flowers are saucer-shape, sometimes semidouble, over loose mounds of handsome dark strawberrylike leaves. Many of the best cultivars are hybrids between species. These plants do best in a well-drained, rich soil.
With its loose, billowy panicles of tiny single or double pink or white flowers, baby's breath provides a lightness and airiness to flower gardens. The creeping forms drape beautifully over rock walls. After bloom time, shear the plants to deadhead and for neatness. Plants prefer sweet (alkaline) soils with full sun and excellent drainage.
The inflated buds of balloon flowers are fun to pop. And they make great cut flowers. Cut them in the bud stage, and sear the base of the stems to prevent the milky sap from seeping out and fouling the water.
Most commonly available in blue-violet, balloon flowers also come in pink and white, as well as shorter forms that are better suited for rock gardens and containers. In fall, the foliage of balloon flower turns clear gold, so don't cut the plant down too early -- enjoy the show! They tolerate light shade, but not wet feet or drought.
Baptisia is one of those tall plants with beautiful spires, often in a showy blue, that draws everyone to it for an admiring closer look. It's a native prairie plant that bears long, tall spikes of pealike blooms in late spring. As the flowers ripen, they turn into interesting black seedpods often used in fall arrangements.
It is a drought-tolerant plant that forms a deep taproot. Choose its location carefully; it is difficult to transplant once established.
Add a burst of whimsy to the garden! Slightly wayward stems and loose, rounded flower clusters give Barbara¿s buttons a fun, carefree appearance. It is guaranteed to enliven a staunch border with Dr. Seuss-like spirit. Add this North American native and up-and-coming perennial to beds and borders in full sun or part shade. It grows best in moist, well-drained soil. Blooming in late spring, it is a great partner for spring bulbs. When the tulips and daffodil blooms are fading it bursts onto the scene, carrying the garden into summer.
With strawberry-like leaves and bright yellow spring flowers, barren strawberries are an alternative evergreen groundcover or edging plant. They tolerate dry soil well and colonize banks and along woodland paths and between stepping stones in light shade or sun. They spread by runners and can cover a space relatively quickly.
Barrenwort is a rare plant -- one that thrives in the dry shade beneath shallow-rooted trees! It spreads at a moderate rate, forming a graceful, dense groundcover. Almost as a bonus, it also produces dainty flowers shaped like a bishop's miter -- prompting another common name, bishop's cap. Its colorful foliage dangles on slender stalks, providing yet another moniker: fairy wings.
Basket-of-gold is one of those plants that loves to grow in the least likely of place -- cracks between paving stones, the edge of gravel paths and patios, rocky outcroppings, between the stacked stones of a retaining wall, and more. It loves a baked spot with excellent drainage but will struggle in hot, humid areas and tends not to do well in the South.
But where it does well, it's a showstopper. It will reseed prolifically in little cracks, filling an area each spring with dazzling neon yellows. After it finishes blooming, the grayish-green foliage makes an attractive mat in the perennial garden.
A culinary classic, bay's glossy green foliage is a flavor favorite in soups, stews, and meat dishes. Bay only survives to 25 degrees, so it's commonly grown in containers, sounding a steady evergreen note on patios during the growing season and gracing sunny interior windows after frost. In the landscape, established trees are fuss-free and drought tolerant. Potted bay is susceptible to scale insects; hand-pick any offenders. Protect potted bay from intense sunlight in hottest zones. If you love to cook, keep dried leaves on hand; they're an essential herb for bouquet garni.
A majestic plant, bear's breeches is like a living sculpture in the garden. It offers sturdy spires of white or pink blooms with papery purple bracts that make a dramatic statement, as does the rich-green, spiny-looking foliage.
The plants tolerate poor, dry soil once established but need regular moisture to get started. In well-drained soil bear's breeches can spread to become a large colony, but it is not invasive.
Bee balm is a wonderful plant for attracting butterflies and helpful bees. This prairie native has fascinating-shape flowers in jewel tones of red, pink, purple, and white, surrounded by dark bracts. They grow atop substantial clumps of dark foliage.
The aromatic foliage is sometimes used for making tea, and bee balm is often grown in herb gardens. Established plants tend to spread, especially in damp soil. This plant is extremely prone to mildew problems, so be sure to plant in full sun and seek out cultivars touted as resistant to mildew diseases.

Got Montoya?
February 12 2013 01:26PM
Every morning I have a ritual that my wife loves (sarcasm intended). When I eat my breakfast I crack open my iPad and make sure my fantasy hockey league lineup is set. This usually involves a quick trip to leftwinglock.com to ensure I have the correct goalies started.
I can assure you no one in my league has Al Montoya on their roster.
However, I wasn't surprised to see that Montoya was listed as the 'probable' starter (now confirmed) for tonight's game versus Philly . Pavelec is the team's starting netminder, but when both of your goaltenders have save percentages below .900, rolling with the hot-hand is a good idea- especially in a short season.
Al Montoya has only started two games and played in 3 so far this season, so I'm not exactly trying to encite a goaltender controversy. However, despite the limited sample size, his save percentage is better than Pavelec's. Would it not be valuable to see if the team can go on a mini-run with him while Pavelec attempts to get himself in order? Wouldn't a hint of competition for the starter's role be a good thing?
Journeyman- long term answer?
Since being drafted 6th overall in the 2004 NHL draft, 8 spots ahead of current Edmonton starter Devan Dubnyk and 20 spots ahead of sometimes Vancouver starter Cory Schneider, Montoya has become a bit of a hockey nomad. With professional stops in Hartford (AHL), Charlotte (ECHL), San Antonio (AHL), Phoenix (NHL), and Long Island (NHL), he has only managed to play 59 NHL games over 8 professional seasons.
His career NHL numbers are not awful (but not great) with a 2.75 GAA and a .906 SV. In addition, fellow 2004 1st round alums Dubnyk and Schneider have only really established themselves as NHL calibre starters in the last 6-18 months, so could it be possible that Montoya could still develop?
Probably not.
Players who have moved around as much as Montoya come with warning flags. There has be a reason, or reasons, why three organizations before the Jets have allowed Montoya to move on.
He isn't the long term answer in goal for the Jets.
Despite not being a great candidate to solve the goaltending woes in Winnipeg, it makes sense to at least give him the next game after a shutout. Put some flame to Pavelec's feet and give the impression that someone else could take his starts.
We'll see if I'm right or wrong tonight.
*Since today's article is about goaltending....
February 17 2013, 01:07PM
"Players who have moved around as much as Montoya come with warning flags. There has be a reason, or reasons, why three organizations before the Jets have allowed Montoya to move on." ...WHAT?!?!? Come on man, "there has to be a reason" is the best you can do? No speculation even?? Lame. I can give you 3 reasons for Montoya playing for 3 NHL franchises. When he was drafted by New York in 2004 they didn't expect Lundqvist to be an NHLer and they moved Montoya only after Lundqvist was already firmly established as their #1. In Phoenix he was buried under Bryzgalov so he was never going to get a chance there. With the Isles, he played quite a bit and his numbers are okay but they have lots of prospects of their own who are younger and need playing time plus they have Nabokov (who has years of experience as an NHL #1) and they have to use DiPietro (or bury him in the minors) so they didn't have space there and he moved on to Winnipeg. This is his best opportunity yet, I'm definitely not sold on Pavelec yet, although I'm not convinced Montoya will be any good either. The way I see it, Montoya has never really been given a chance to be a #1. The Rangers had Lundqvist, the Coyotes had Bryzgalov and the Islanders have a strange goaltending situation (thanks in large part to DiPietro) so I wouldn't just assume that something is wrong with Montoya because those teams didn't want him. Besides, he might still improve, Dubnyk and Schneider still need to improve their consistency if they're going to be quality starters in the NHL. If they don't then I think they will end up being backups just like Montoya currently is. Of course, I don't know anything about Montoya so maybe he does have the warning flags that you speak of from past injury issues or personality issues on other teams. Do you have any reason to believe that Montoya may have warning flags other than the fact that he has been with a few franchises?

sum1 in youtube made a thread like this...im sorry dude but this is ridiculous
how do u believe dat this disciple of jiraiya is sandaime's son? (n how da hell did he meet yahiko, nagato, n konan? they were living in the rain while jiraiya's official squad w/ minato was in konoha)
Sigs and Ava by Ravona
lol you haven't read all i wrote right ?
Nagatos eyes were the most rarest eyes.Jiraiya told them about him. He got older and changed to a dark person thats why he searched him to take his eyes.
I only delete things in this section if they are not theories, which includes things like questions.
Now this here is a theory and will be left well enough alone, regardless of anyones opinion of it. (Except for Tengu, I will not tolerate that anymore)
Why don't more people read these mangas?
Minato, this sentence doesen't say anything about a bad person in Sarutobi's clan. He only says he doesen't complain at all being born in that clan. Anyway this theory isn't reliable. It's quite impossible.now it doesn't seem that bad being born into the Sarutobi Clan
Listen Archiel! Only because you don't belive the Tengu thing it doesen't mean you must move a thread. If I wanna make a theory about Tengu, I'll do it.Except for Tengu, I will not tolerate that anymore)

Dude, I'm Yoru....not Yori
Now wants to say "in short", he's like reflecting about it. Like you say "Now....let's see". I think it's like that
Well I gotta say this is a very creative theory. I suppose you could make this argument. However their is still alot more evidence that Tobi is Madara and not a Sarutobi, and pein is Nagato also not a Sarutobi.
Your theory is L.A.M.E
Archiel doesn't like Tengu?

Alison Rhodes, "The
Safety Mom"
National Child Safety Expert, Alison Rhodes, "The Safety Mom," is one of the country's
leading child safety authorities, providing tips and advice to parents on a broad
range of issues facing all children - newborns to teens. Read
There is little anyone can do to soothe and quiet a baby with colic, which makes it one of the most frustrating experiences for new parents. Experts estimate that as many as 25 percent of babies have colic, yet they are still puzzled at its causes.
Colic is defined as a period of prolonged crying or fussiness, with episodes usually occurring in the evening and lasting approximately 3 to 4 hours. It usually appears in the first three weeks of life and lasts for about 3 months.
Many people incorrectly apply the term "colicky" to any fussy baby; however, a baby with true colic presents specific symptoms, including:
Intense, inconsolable crying - The crying is lusty and forceful, not weak or sickly. His face will probably be flushed and he will be difficult, if not impossible, to comfort and quiet.
Predictable, recurring episodes of crying - Your baby cries around the same time every day, usually in the late afternoon or evening. The crying begins suddenly and for no apparent reason, and may last for just a few minutes or to several hours.
Physical tension - Many babies with colic have bloated, tense abdomens, pull their legs up to their stomachs, clench their fists, and appear to be in pain during the crying episodes.
Experts still don't know for sure what causes colic, even after many years of research. However, the following are all possible culprits:
Cow's milk allergies or intolerance
An immature digestive system that causes unusually strong intestinal contractions
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Increased intestinal gas
Hormonal changes
Diet of mothers who breastfeed
Maternal anxiety or postpartum depression
Baby's temperament - some babies just take longer to adjust to the world outside the womb
