Reading Dan Lyons' piece on the Apple / Media dance - and, let's be honest, it is a great one to watch as a PR person - one thing stuck out for me: The larger takeaway is what this episode says about how the media covers Apple. It's one thing for PR flacks to tell lies. That is, after all, what they get paid to do. But it's another thing for the media to join in on the action. (Emphasis mine, of course).
The article was dead-on. There are a few corporations that get an easy pass, and have a hardcore public relations machine. Apple is one of those, and as a fanboy of Apple (and, well, a person that likes to watch and practice good PR), it is amazing to watch the way they handle press and get out the message. Apple is one of the few (the only?) companies that could probably find a hardcore Apple blogger, tie him up, beat him to a pulp, tar and feather him ... and get defended by other bloggers. It's just that Apple mystique.
But, well, it's not the job of PR to lie. We're a bridge builder, a way for reporters (and, well, social media 'reporters') to get access to the corporation, and get information out to the public. We're not supposed to be the impediment for news, the gatekeeper, but the way to help people get the stories they want. Does this mean to answer every media request, and give out products for review willy-nilly? Of course not - you use your intellect on this stuff. Come on people.
But, no, it's not about lying. What is acceptable?
Pulling the Heisman - that's fine.
Omitting facts - not lying, but, well, omission of details - that's fine.
Blatant lying - well, that's just not. Some PR people can get away with it - when you are at a hot company, you have some leeway with the press. But, well, the press doesn't forget these things. And, it will eventually catch up.
The thing is that I understand where Lyons is coming from with his piece. This is the second time he's called out PR for lying - blatantly - to him, and it really should not be acceptable. That's not how PR works, it's not how PR should work, and it's too often an occurrence.
Hell, just step outside of PR to the publicity / entertainment side of things. How often do you see a report that a publicist said "oh, no, they're not getting a divorce" ... a week before they file for divorce. Paging Liz Rosenberg and Madonna. Hell, paging ANY large entertainment publicity shop.
But, this is the problem with public relations: lying sacks of shit, as Lyons calls them, make all of us who don't engage in this type of subterfuge look awful. The blame is also with reporters, however, who have been duped by "sources familiar" to do their bidding. Journalism, as a means to report the news to the masses, has become sensationalistic and unreliable (and, at times, just lazy), and why the public has become less and less trusting of the media. It's less media and journalism in mainstream press, and more editorializing and sensationalism.
But, the reality is with the shrinking and spreading of media - the traditional is getting smaller, while the new is growing bigger (and, well, more niche and like vertical media, but no one wants to admit that about blogs) - the lies are becoming too obvious, and getting caught too easily. It's the job of public relations to relay information, or truthfully sometimes to keep information private. But if you're getting calls from a reporter on such information ... it's already leaked and out there. And, well, damage control does not mean lie and obfuscate, but rather deflect or respond.
All in all ... pretty simple rules from kindergarten, with less naïveté.

Nik Coppin: Stuff
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2008
Fresh from sell-out shows at the Melbourne and New Zealand International Comedy Festivals, Nik Coppin returns to Edinburgh with another hour of audience banter, observations about people, his love of wildlife and Superheroes and stories of his experiences around the world. Brand new comedy from one of the world circuit's rising stars.
Original Review:
Nik Coppin puts a lot of energy into his show and demands the same from his audience. Consequently, its an exhausting hour for al concerned.
Bounding on stage beaming like the oft-referenced Tigger, he races through an audience meet-and-greet so comprehensive that people are divulging holiday plans and sexual preferences before they've even put down their pints. It sets the tone for his matey, everyman delivery, as well as the rushed, packed pace, but it's a little forced. We barely know him but are already being asked to be his best friends.
Where his previous shows have ostensibly had single themes, here Coppin ties himself to a subject matter no more specific than 'stuff'. This gives him licence to expound scores of unrelated observations and nonsenses.
There's a bit about his fear of giant spiders - and conflicting love of Spiderman - some imaginative material about his mixed-race parentage and a large section about polar bears and sharks. While you can hardly claim not to have been warned, there really is no coherence between any of it, which makes it, superficial.
The flow of banter is slick and engaging, but it's just that - banter. He goes off on the sort of wild tangents beloved of messers Izzard and Noble, but doesn't quite have the skill to avoid getting stuck up the cul-de-sacs this technique can create.
In his favour, Coppin is immensely likeable and refreshingly uncynical. Laughing at your own gags is generally considered bad form, but the musical chuckle that punctuates much of Coppin's material - sweetly nervous and more than a little maniacal - is infectious. For a free show, this is better-than-average, but if he wants to step up a notch , he'll need to add more substance to his indisputable style.

The Guptans - 14/07/2009
Saw Nik at what to be fair to him was an Edinburgh preview show and was impressed by his energy... just not so impressed by his material. As the reviewer above says he is good at banter but still doesn't have any material. He isn't bad, just, he isn't great either. He is playing at the free fringe apparently, so for that price he is worth seeing
Nigel Taylor - 19/08/2008
This all sounds well and good but was it worth 50p?

Wal-Mart Caught Lying About Its Nasty Pork
In China, authorities don't fall for all those Wal-Mart okey doke bait-and-switch now-you-see-it-now-you-don't sleight of hand shell games, so to speak. They know your pork is cheap ass pork, Wal-Mart.
Authorities in China's southwestern city of Chongqing ordered Wal-Mart Stores Inc. to temporarily close some stores after accusing it of fraudulently labeling ordinary pork as more-expensive organic pork...
City officials have repeatedly come down on Wal-Mart since it entered Chongqing in 2006, punishing the retailer 21 times for alleged violations such as false advertising, mislabeling, and food safety, according to a statement on the city government's website.
Wal-Mart is also under investigation for mislabeling crap as "products."

Cato Institute
Koch Industries Climate Denial Front Group
$6,703,972 from Koch foundations, 1997-2014
Cato is a member of the State Policy Network.
The organization's 2009 "Handbook for Policymakers" on global warming begins with the suggestions that Congress should "pass no legislation restricting emissions of carbon dioxide" and "inform the public about how little climate change would be prevented by proposed legislation."
Robert Bradley, an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute, is also a founder and the CEO of theInstitute for Energy Research.
In 2007 the Cato Foundation gave $120,000 to New Hope Environmental Services, an "advocacy science consulting firm" founded and run by long-time climate science denier Patrick Michaels, who uses New Hope to publish his World Climate Report, a sort of ongoing journal of denial of climate science. Michaels is also a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, which paid him $98,000 to write a book, The Satanic Gases, with fellow skeptic Robert Balling. Over the years, Michaels' work has been financed by a number of coal and polluter interests, including theWestern Fuels Association, the Intermountain Rural Electric Association, and others.
In 2012, Cato's Patrick Michaels wrote an unofficial, scientifically-irrelevant "addendum" to the U.S. government's "Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States" assessment. The Cato report was designed to be almost identical to the U.S. government report (in aesthetics, layout and topical content) except for its notably unsubstantiated conclusions on climate science.
*In 2012, the Koch brothers sued the Cato Institute in order to exert more control over the organization. The lawsuit was dropped after an agreement was reached between the two parties, following months of highly-publicized attacks back and forth. David Koch remains on Cato's board of directors.

'Affordable Underground Furniture': D.I.Y. Coffin Clubs Catch On in New Zealand
February 25, 2017
The 24-hour urine copper test measures the amount of copper in a urine sample.
Quantitative urinary copper
A 24-hour urine sample is needed.
Cap the container. Keep it in the refrigerator or a cool place during the collection period.
Write your name, date, and time you completed the test on the container.
For an infant, thoroughly wash the area where urine exits the body. Open a urine collection bag (a plastic bag with an adhesive paper on one end). For boys, place the entire penis in the bag and attach the adhesive to the skin. For girls, place the bag over the labia. Diaper as usual over the secured bag.
This procedure may take a couple of attempts. Lively infants can move the bag, causing the urine to be absorbed by the diaper. Check the infant frequently and change the bag after the infant has urinated into it. Drain the urine from the bag into the container provided by your health care provider.
Return the bag or container as instructed.
A laboratory specialist will determine how much copper is in the sample.
No special preparation is necessary for this test, but if the collection is being taken from an infant, a couple of extra collection bags may be necessary.
The test involves only normal urination, and there is no discomfort.
Your doctor may order this test if you have signs of Wilson's disease, a genetic disorder that affects how the body processes copper.
The normal range is 10 to 30 micrograms per 24 hours.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
An abnormal result means you have a higher than normal level of copper. This may be due to:
There are no risks associated with providing a urine sample.

A suspicious man tried to lure an 8-year-old girl into his Sunday afternoon.
According to the Mt. Juliet Police Department, around 3 p.m. at the 200 block of Ridgeview Preserve Drive, the male, driving a gray, newer-model Chevrolet Malibu or Impala, talked to the little girl and requested that she get into the car. Her mother was nearby and yelled for the girl to get away from the man. As the man was leaving, the man yelled to the mother that her daughter did the "right thing". The car had extra antennas mounted on the exterior and a dog kennel in the back seat area. The man also had a dog with him.
"At this time, we have no idea what the suspicious person's intentions were," stated Captain Michael Mullins. "It is certainly unusual for the suspicious person to allegedly act the way he did, and we want to ensure parents in our community are aware of his description."
"Parents should always be aware of where their children are and teach them what to do around strangers," stated Sergeant Tyler Chandler. "The mother in this incident was nearby and supervising her daughter. She noticed something did not seem right and immediately called the child to her."
For information on child safety and prevention, visit the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's website at http://www.missingkids.com/safety.
Anyone with any information regarding this incident is encouraged to call the Mt. Juliet Police Department at (615) 754-2550. Information can also be given anonymously by calling (615) 754-TIPS (8477) or via the Mt. Juliet Police Department website at http://www.mjpd.org/ .

I don't think it's actually her now that I have my facts correct.ReplyCancel
I was SURE Count would be all over this!ReplyCancel
I don't know anything about softcore porn. Just like you can't make bacon out of turkey and you can't make pizza w/o tomato sauce, you can't make porn w/o penetration of snatch and starfish.

Sandy – this is actually a great guess. She started on MTV and then made a bunch of those soft porn films that went straight to cable.(see her wiki).

That being said she was not around in the 80's so it must be someone older.ReplyCancel

United Way of Greater Rochester Kicks Butt!!!
Kudos to the staff over at the United Way of Greater Rochester for organizing another successful ROC the Day campaign to help raise over $875,000 for the Greater Rochester community.
I'm glad to see that all the hardwork and dedication you put into this one day campaign has paid off big time. Keep up the great work and everything you do to help bring in the much needed resources to help address the critical and chronic needs and issues of our community.
With over 10,000 Gifts received last week, this was truly a blessing and an uplifting moment that highlights Rochester's compassionate and generous giving spirit. For those of you who don't know the seriousness of this, just know that if it wasn't for ROC the Day, many of the organizations that received donations this year would have never gotten it as many of them use ROC the Day as their only method of fundraising. Think about that for a moment…..
Everyone who participated in ROC the Day deserves a round of applause. I know that all of the organizations that received your support and the individuals that benefit from the services that many of the organizations provide are feeling overwhelmed and touched by your generosity. I know I am!
Please know that you truly made this holiday season a special one.
Happy Holidays!!

Republican Party: Now What?
Imagine, the Republican Party wants to get the attention and support of a wider part of the United States voting public! I'm shocked, shocked, you hear!
After using language and political clout to demean Hispanic immigrants, it now wants to appeal to this segment of the U.S. What was their first clue? They have advocated building bigger fences on the U.S. border. They have advocated to break up families and deport parents and even children who only knew one nation: the United States. Their right-wing business friends have turned a blind eye to draconian immigration laws and used illegals as slaves. Any chance to pay very low wages and abuse workers has always been a delight of the greed corporations. Imagine using bigoted language when refering to Hispanics, and now they want their vote. Have any of these "tender and empathetic" right-wingers ever heard what Rush and the rest of the right-wing fascists have said on the radio about illegals?
To prove they have had a change of heart about Hispanics, the Republican Party has turned to Karl Rove for advice. Karl Rove! And have you ever heard an interview with the current head of the GOP [a Wisconsinite]? And for further "new" ideas to expand the reach of the GOP they have called in the biggest donors for advice. Those are the same people who have fought against any office-seeker who gave any hint of being a middle-of-the-road politician, let alone a progressive ...and spent scores of millions of dollars in the process. Now they want to tell us they are of a wider and more tolerant bent. Huh?
Look, the type of people who have led the Republican Party for quite some time are people who have gotten all kinds of tax breaks, all kinds of government contracts [negotiated or un-negotiated], and generally joined in killing the middle class and driven the richest Americans to atmospheric levels of materialism. The poor get little or no attention from the rich right-wingers, they are pushed aside.
GOP and greed have become synonymous. There is no empathy among the leaders and supporters of the Republican Party. Do some research. Find out who is behind the curtain of the Wizardry running the Republican Party.
If the Republican Party wants to truly get support from a wider part of American society, let them show their true altruism, their REAL empathy, their support for the less fortunate. And let them join all of us in creating a tax system that is fair for the poor and middle classes; not beholden to the richest and most greedy in our society.
Let us greet that sort of new Republican Party with open arms. Sharing is not a dirty word. Empathy does not mean you are foolish. Compassion should be part of the fabric of the United States. Democracy means all of us are treated equally. Favors only for the rich and greedy should be ended, and let us ALL celebrate a New America.

Skip to comments.By Zeus! (Greeks return to paganism)
Posted on 02/07/2007 8:11:30 AM PST by NYer
It was high noon when Doreta Peppa, a woman with long, dark locks and owlish eyes, entered the Sanctuary of Olympian Zeus. At first, tourists visiting the Athenian temple thought they had stumbled on to a film set. It wasn't just that Peppa cut a dramatic figure with her flowing robes and garlanded hair. Or that she seemed to be in a state of near euphoria. Or even that the group of men and women accompanying her - dressed as warriors and nymphets in kitsch ancient garb - appeared to have stepped straight out of the city's Golden Age.
To the astonishment of onlookers, Peppa also began babbling Orphic hymns, before thrusting her arms upwards into the Attic skies and proceeding, somewhat deliriously, to warble her love for the gods of Mount Olympus. But, then, for the motley group of modern pagans coalesced around the temple's giant Corinthian columns, this was a special moment. Not since the late fourth century AD, when the newly Christian Roman state outlawed all forms of pagan worship, had a high priestess officiated on the sacred site.
Armed with white doves, Peppa, a former advertising executive, was not going to hold back - even if it meant defying the furious Greek officials and riot police gathered at the second-century temple's gates, unwilling to stop the ceremony for fear of provoking a violent confrontation. "Sixteen and a half centuries is a very long time to wait," she said. "After so many years of Christian persecution we were finally able to call on Zeus, our king-god, to bring peace to the world ahead of the [2008] Olympics. For us, it was a very, very big thing."

Another attention-seeker gets her wish...
This trend of returning to paganism is spreading. Several months ago, there was a thread on Scandinavians worshiping their ancient gods. All of this is simply feeding the growth of Islam.
Don't Hindus worship various gods? So why can't Greeks? Just curious; no flames please.

How does this "feed the growth of Islam". Seems that this is a totally different form of worship in that it's for multiple gods, not "Allah".
Not just various, but the same, related Indo-European gods. In India, it never died away.
Zeus, poetically referred to by the vocative Zeu pater ("O, father Zeus"), is a continuation of *Dyaēus, the Proto-Indo-European god of the daytime sky, also called *Dyeus phaetēr ("Sky Father"). The god is known under this name in Sanskrit (cf. Dyaus/Dyaus Pita), Latin (cf. Jupiter, from Iuppiter, deriving from the PIE vocative dyeu-phetēr), deriving from the basic form *dyeu- ("to shine", and in its many derivatives, "sky, heaven, god"). And in Germanic and Norse mythology (cf. *Tīwaz > OHG Ziu, ON Týr), together with Latin deus, dīvus and Dis(a variation of dīves), from the related noun *deiwos.
To the Greeks and Romans, the god of the sky was also the supreme god, whereas this function was filled out by Odin among the Germanic tribes. Accordingly, they did not identify Zeus/Jupiter with either Tyr or Odin, but with Thor (Ãórr). Zeus is the only deity in the Olympic pantheon whose name has such a transparent Indo-European etymology.
In addition to his Indo-European inheritance, the classical Zeus also derives certain iconographic traits from the cultures of the ancient Near East, such as the scepter. Zeus is envisaged by Greek artists especially in two poses: standing, striding forward a thunderbolt levelled in his raised right hand and seated in majesty.
Aside from forced transformation, Zeus is known to punish those who veered out of his pleasure with lightning bolts.
This is sort of like the fake wicca "religion" that masquerades as an ancient religion.
Its all made up - there is no link to any past celts or druids or whatever they think they are keeping alive.
They have created wicca ex nihilo and pretend it is an ancient tradition.
Given the absence of any Greek pagans for over a thousand years, this too is new-age claptrap. Then again, it was claptrap back in the day, too, but now they can't even claim a real link to the ancient pagan past; that link was lost centuries ago.
Somehow modern feminist Asherah cults never get around to that. What do yo bet these guys will?
"All of this is simply feeding the growth of Islam."
"Paganism" is not Islam. And Islam is not "Paganism". By the way "Paganism" is good for feeding the growth of Hinduism ;)
That's the hypothesis. I guess we'll see, won't we?
Being against Islam does not mean I should also be against Paganism.
Appreciate your knowledgeable feedback. Now I get it and yes, we will see.
Depends on how or why you're "against."
You could say I'm "against" Mormonism, because I am convinced it is based upon erroneous religious texts and teachings; nevertheless, I can honestly say I have never met a Mormon I didn't like; much in the everyday practice of the LDS faith is true, valuable and sincerely admirable; and Mormons are not an aggressive earthly threat to me in any way whatsoever.
I can't think of any Pagans offhand that are a threat, except for the ones I've met that staff abortion clinics (and they could just as well have been apostate Christians or secular Jews.)
Islam, however, is a explosive, bloody-handed, socio-political menace; not that there are not peaceable Muslims, but that their religious texts and their putative prophet (unlike, say, Christ or Gaia) explicitly incite religious violence.
Actually, that's not what I said. I said that reversion to this Apollo-stuff--- which really is intellectually threadbare, morally vacuous, and spiritually feeble in the extreme--- indicates the presence of an aspirant (in the sense of "sucking") vacuum.
Hinduism, by way of contrast, has far more intellectual and moral content than this ginned-up neo-apollo-puppy trend. But I'm sure you knew that.
BTW, it's good to see you back on the forum.
This is such modern media garbage. For the past 150 years at least various kook groups, usually made up of artists and acedemics start this stuff up in Greece. It not not new, not a result of today's society and it never goes anywhere. Its just kooks.
However, if anyone, secularist, atheist, Islamist or whatever, wishes to threaten my liberty and my nation, I will certainly oppose them, forcefully if necessary.
"I don't quite understand the logic that religion X should be given no space because its morally or spiritually incapable of resisting religion Y."
I'm not quite sure what you mean by this. Amongst those who are non-aggressors, all "opposition" or "resisrance" is a far friendlier thing, and takes the form of dialog, banter, love, blessing, humor, example, and reason. Against this form of "opposition" --- which is actually friendly persuasion, or even rivalry in doing good --- there can be, I think, no objection.
Church little more than = Church is hardly anything more than
Friendly is as friendly does. Surprisingly, reason and goodwill sometimes work.
Greek Orthodox 98%, Muslim 1.3%, other 0.7%
I hardly think the Pope or any other (non-Orthodox) leader would have much influence on Greek state policy. But it's hardly a case, I think, of Hindus being singled out. They've had little to no contact with ANY non-monotheistic religious group: Buddhists, Shintoists, Buddhists, Sikhs, Santeria, Makumba, Rastafarianism, or anybody else.
They (Greeks) have had no historic conflicts with Hindus or India as far as I know; so the Hindu question may never have come up. I don't suppose there has ever been any Indian influx into Greece. Do you know?
So they need to get "permits" from the State to practice their faith? Wont really call that "freedom".
"Greek Orthodox 98%, Muslim 1.3%, other 0.7% "
Dont have much time. For now I would only say that you are switching cause for effect. The insignificant numbers from other faiths is because those religions aren't given the breathing space. Its the same in Italy and a few other Christian countries.
Interesting discussion. Are Hindus interested, then in emigrating to Greece, but stopped by law? I must say it seems...odd.
Who's talking about emigration. Are organisations like the ISKCON allowed to preach there? (I am considering ISKCON only for example).
BTW the majority Muslims in US are not immigrants from middle east or South Asia. They are mostly Afro-Americans converts.
Do you have a source for that? According to "American Islam: The Struggle for the Soul of a Religion," by Paul Barrett,:
"People of South Asian descent those with roots in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Afghanistan make up 34 percent of American Muslims ... Arab-Americans constitute 26 percent, while another 20 percent are native-born American blacks, most of whom are converts. The remaining 20 percent come from Africa, Iran, Turkey and elsewhere."
Thus 80% of US Muslims are immigrants or children of immigrants; and 20% are African-American.
"They also have missionary headquarters all over Europe."
I am not sure they are "headquarters". Outside the United Kingdom most of those are actually listed as "rural communities", "restaurants" or just some obscure contact details. BTW I dont belong to ISKCON.
What are the major "really Hindu" missionary organizations, then?
BullDog108 can actually tell us more about ISKCON.
Pinging you BullDog108.
Thank you.
I'm travelling to Kolkata next week for their annual festival.
FRegards, BullDog

Wondering how to wear your new pair of high-rise chambray pleated pants? While these may have been classified as "mom jeans" not long ago (yes, before NYLON Magazine said "mom jeans" were cool and changed the way we wear pants for the next ten years), they're now the ultimate on-trend pants of the season. And since we don't think this style will be going anywhere next season either, start gathering your styling inspiration! Jenny O. wore them with a rolled hem, slashed-sleeve white knit sweater (DIY this, ladies), and a bright tie-dye scarf that accentuates the vibrant blue of the denim. The black boots and bag make it relevant for fall. We love this look!

My child (11mths) just spent her first 3 days at this child care centre. The staff are fantastic and so professional and so caring. I wouldn't send my daughter anywhere else - this is a fantastic centre. I looked at a lots of other centres and this one really stood out as high quality care - the building might be older then some of the newer centres but the staff are just so good which is what counts. They also have a chef that cooks the food fresh on site every day and there's a lot of room for the children to play and good programming. I remember a parent talking to me in the carpark raving about how good this centre was when I first went for a look and now I see why.

Angling Opportunities
Largemouth bass are the most sought after sport fish in Gibbons Creek Reservoir. This reservoir has a history of producing numerous largemouth bass larger than 10 pounds. The current lake record is 16.17 pounds. Channel, blue, and flathead catfish are all abundant with catches of trophy blue and flathead catfish quite common. Crappie fishing has been very good in the past but is somewhat slower today. Crappie of good sizes can still be caught in the early spring. Bluegill are also abundant in the reservoir but do not grow to very large sizes.
|Largemouth Bass
Fishing Cover/Structure
Shoreline areas of the reservoir contain a light to moderate cover of hydrilla with standing timber quite thick along the creeks. American lotus is also quite dense in the upper creeks.
Tips & Tactics
The opportunity to catch a trophy largemouth bass at Gibbons Creek is greatest from mid-January through March. Anglers are most successful fishing in the warmer areas of the lake near the heated discharge with a variety of crank baits and spinners. During summer, schooling bass can be found in deeper water over structure. Anglers catch these fish primarily on Carolina-rigged plastic worms. Catfish can be caught most any time of year on a variety of natural baits. For flathead cats, anglers are most successful fishing with live shad in or near the discharge.

text: Interesting, it seems Obito finally grew a backbone and is standing up against Madara's will, or at least evidenced by the fact that he can keep Black Zetsu from leaving his body. I really liked Madara's explanation about the Sage, and it shows how chakra spread, but the thing I liked most about it is how Naruto did the same thing with the 9-tails' chakra to the Shinobi army. I wonder what Obito is going to do? I mean, as long as he can prevent Black Zetsu from leaving his body, he can stay alive, and it seems that he's trying to take the 10-tails' power away from Madara, but Naruto is still dying over there, and time is running out.

I am building a custom house in austin,Texas. I have 3 bathrooms on the 2nd floor. The flooring is 3/4 inch plywood. I am afraid of water seeping from the bath tub onto the plywood with age. Do people use some sort of underlayment on which the Bathtub is mounted such as Durock or felt or both. In this case can u guys also tell me how to do it.

Allods Online has been out for awhile now and it's been making steady developmental improvements. We take a second look at Allods in our latest re-review. See how it's faring these days and then leave us your thoughts in the comments.
The game has made quite a bit of progression since its original launch back in 2010. New patches, such as the major update of Game of Gods, release back in February, which includes a new raid, skirmish, loot companions, and even revamps to professions, primarily within alchemy and herbalism. Overall it seems that many players, in such an active playing field, are seeking the possibility that there may actually be a well-developed F2P game that is worth taking a shot at. After a couple of years of progression and a hefty investment by the folks over at Mail.ru, it's time to give this game another look.
Read more of Mobin Koohestani's Allods Online: Our Offical Allods Online Re-Review.
Interesting review. I tried it a few years back, but it didn't keep my attention for long. After passing through the very interesting starting area and ending up in the sewers, I had a lot of fun starting out in the game. The problem was that, as soon as I was started questing in the city (the first zone after the starting area), the combat felt slow and it was just running back and forth without a reason.
The pro's about the game were the graphics/aesthetics. It really felt like a certain style was put decided on and it was consistent. It simply looks good.
Other than that I don't remember too much of it, but I will check it out once again after reading this review.
"We need men who can dream of things that never were." - John F. Kennedy
And for MMORPGs ever so true...
I gave Allods a try, i really did but ... cash shop is expensive, even if there is an option to buy some of the items with in game money via the game AH. But, the runes are really too expensive, the available inventory without "having to pay" is just too limited, and many guilds will let you play in HL raids ONLY IF you went through the CS for, it seems, some required items for HL.
"Fatigue" is no longer in game, for like 2 months at least. This review is outdated.
I'm a dude. I do stuff.
it is way out of date MAJOR CHANGES have happened in the last week. and next week even more are coming with the server merge adn Mentor system that is starting. and fatigue if used correctly helped you level faster. While Allods isn't perfect it can be fun.
Cash shop dependency has kept me away from this game. Shame, because I rather enjoyed the beta.

Lol...if this is true that is pretty pathetic. Essentially means this review is either extremely outdated or it was written without the person actually even giving the game a go before writing this "rereview"..
1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical.
2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself.
3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose.
erm fatigue isnt in game for at least half a year.
i never understood one thing
this game has basically a mini eve ships, with pirating, really really deep 'space' (or astral as its called) where you actually had to have someone skilled enough to be able to navigate, other person to pilot the ship, and 2-3 people are in charge of cannons, scanners, shields, etc etc... and theres also ships pvp because 'space' isnt instanced, its just layered ... ships are totally customizable with thousands of items and combinations.
and with all that said, this game gets a 6,5 for inovation while something like tor gets 8 or whatever it was.
seriously, a 'wowlike' game with customizable, destructable, 5 man ships in open space combat, where you could actually discover new places, fight other ships, on top of all other wowlike features is not innovative enough, but tor is?
ps: too bad this game is so cash shop dependant though, and sadly it doesnt look like its getting any better.
Mobin's writing a replacement for the fatigue paragraph now. He edited it out in later drafts, but sent me an older one to publish. Will be updated with the proper words and whatnot shortly!
Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.
thought so, this one actually looks like old 're-review' you guys did not long ago
Ok seriously enough of this nonsense.
You guys just gave Aion 7/10 for graphics but this gets 8.5!
I have played both games and left Allods (at least in part) due to the eye destroying outdated graphics even at max settings.

It's no NCSoft title, but that doesn't mean the graphics can't be appealing. In Aion the characters looked really nice but the surroundings were quite terrible. Maybe I'll check out the latest Aion version since it's also F2P now, but Allods eye destroying, seriously.

after reading the reviews i figured i would give it a try, i am ashamed of this sites reviews! there is no way they played till endgame. the levling part of the game is great the endgame content is currputed and dead. there is tons of PVP sirmishes yet only a few can contend. if your new to game and you wanna play your in a pickcle. it is IMPOSSIBLE to get gear, endgame quests are in pvp open areas and the elite groups "this includeds GM's and Scholars!! sit there and 1 shot people. Many ask for money in reture to finsih your quest. i know things like that happen in evey endgame mmo yet the population on this game is so low and the few that own the game enjoy owning it. another thing that disturbed me was on there fourms there scholar got in a fight with another person and was posting IP adress. this games is one of worst i played in long time and im so lost my confidence in this site for giving it such a high rating. i paid money to have fun somewhere around 3k usd and was enjoying it till i hit a plato that was liek a rock.
gm/shcolars play game and run guilds
the gear diffrences is amazing. "1 engame player can kill 30+ endgame players"
the hacking everyday you c a person who is doing somethign they shouldnt be doing
you spend money to get boxes you open box and get a chance to win prizes. rare ones are extremly hard to get yet you notice same people will open 10 boxes and get 10 rare prizes. o did i mention there scholars also.
Allods openly promotes advertising if you rank them you get "premioum" crystals these crystals = reallife money "no wonder they have high ratings"
Even now days in 2013 the game still remains PAY to WIN with no doubt.
After lvl 20 when we got in Asee-Tepth, we were ganged daily (at least 4 times per day) by lvl 28 parties with reincarnations and runes worthing between 200$-1000$. How can they do that when you have the option to turn pvp off? Well if any of them, in their party picks up a banner, that banner automatically allows the whole party to kill even players with their pvp turned off. Good luck killing parties of people that can 1 hit you, and are wearing extremely overpowered runes bought from cash shop.
You must pay around 3$ just to reset you skill stats in case you do a mistake. Up to level 15 (1 day of playing) it is free, that means 3 active skills and 5 passives. Imagine that after that lvl you will gain access to over 25 active skills and over 100 passives from which you have to chose half, and if you mess it up, you actually need to pay 3$ to remake them again....
There is such a huge difference between a free and a cash shop player that i could never imagine. 1 cash shop player at lvl 51 can actually kill alone a whole guild of 20+ people at lvl 51.
I played before pay to win games, but this one is by far....i simply don't have words for it.

Gregor rings... Heatley stays in Ottawa
June 30 2009 08:47PM
10:14pm MDT update: Heatley will not waive his no-trade clause. He stays in Ottawa, and won't come here.
Earlier tonight: Just got off the phone with Gregor:
"The Oilers have traded Dustin Penner, Ladislav Smid and Andrew Cogliano for Dany Heatley. This will add $2.1 million to the Oilers' payroll."
He also mentioned that Hossa talks with LA have broken off.
Finally, the handsome devil teased me with this one: the Oil aren't done dealing yet.
Lowetide is reporting the same thing. Cogliano's leaving makes me sad.
Great trade...we got Penner for free and lose his 4.25 Mil and get Heatly for Cogs and Smid....Keep it coming Tambo!
Not only am I impressed with the speed of your reporting, I'm also impressed with the speed of your Photoshop skills.
I don't understand how this isnt a great deal??
HELLO!!! Dustin Penner is gone!
the donair shops of edmonton are safe again!
wow...I really hope the nucks can sign the twins cause Edmonton finally has a top line. Congrats to you guys!
I was only hoping it wasn;t going to be Cogs. O'Sully will do quite fine though
Who saw this coming!?!?
@ teesix: Thanks... I'm a photoshop magician! I was going to add some halo effect, but didn't want to over do it.
Heatly wrote:
we got Penner for free
If by free you mean 1st, 2nd & 3rd, then yes.
I just peed my pants AND threw up a little in my mouth.
I'll believe it when @dantencer confirms. ;)
please stop flirting with me.....I mean.....if you were hinting that the Oil may be in the running for hossa.....of course....
June 30 2009, 09:22PM
Hate to see Cogs go! But I'm smokin my celebration Bong hit right now!! Welcome to the Oilers Heater!! Holding it in..........................exhale very tasty!
So do we go get hossa as well?
Jeez you guys. The server just went for crap again!
I'll admit what really bothers me is the Smid aspect of this. I can get moving Cogliano, even though it seems contrary to what the team seemed to be going towards.
But all three of them for Heatley? Penner is a lightning rod of controversy, so I won't go there, other than I think he's under-valued here by a lot of people, including by some in the organization by last year's tale of the tape. Still I can fully get behind moving him for Heatley; and it's probably a good thing for Penner. Same with Cogliano; he won't be as log-jammed in Ottawa, I'd wager.
In the short of it; I liked Smid and what he brought -- especially at the price tag and age. Time will tell if it was or wasn't an over-pay, but I hope management has a few other things in the fire to compensate, as alluded to up top. Our second line, as of now, worries me a lot.
Finally a finisher for Hemsky AND the Oil keep their top 4 D. Whoa!
Sad to see Cogs and Smid go but man this is a great deal for the Oil. Cogs is gonna be an RFA next season and Smid is this year. Penner...nuff said. 1.13 + 4.25 + 1.0 (estimate) = 6.38million. Adds 1.1 million to the Oils cap but gives a lot of lower priced prospects a chance to find a roster spot and develope. Who would have thought this would happen a month ago.
Who are the Oil still after?
I hate to be the guy that says it (if no one else does), but reports coming out are that it's not a done deal just yet. Sens saying they haven't heard from Heatley that he waived his NMC, and Tambellini is saying it's not a done deal yet. (as per TSN and also Dan Tencer). Argh.. come on, just get it done already!
DANY MOTHER F'n HEATLEY BOYS AND GIRLS!!!!!!
RossCreek June 30 2009, 9:20 pm.
If by free you mean 1st, 2nd & 3rd, then yes.
Sorry, first time poster and got kinda excited...I even spelled "Heatley" wrong :)
End of the day,it's a good trade.

June 30 2009, 09:34PM
This is exciting. Well done making your mark, Tambellini.
heres the deal if hossa signs in edmonton and somehow we make that work salary wise i will be purchasing the 2009 2010 edmonton oilers team photo and doing things to it never done to a photo before...very happy with tambo this week...
Big luvs to Tambo.
June 30 2009, 09:37PM
we still need a goalie... yo wayne wheres the party?
June 30 2009, 09:37PM
@ Racki: I'm a little anxious on that one too man. If he pulls a Nylander on us (not quite the same but ya know...) the Nation's self-esteem will dip just shy of a 12 year old bulimic girl. *reflects sadly on childhood*
Hello, Triple H Line!!!
Great deal. Legitimate sniper for Penner (no need for comment), Cogliano (Todd Marchant clone) & Smid (this type of d-man is a dime a dozen). GO OILERS GO.
Its not confirmed yet.
@ Debonair Donair: Yah Nylander definitely comes immediately to mind. No, not the same situation as you mentioned.. but the same sort of excitement for the fans here crushed.
Well, just cross your fingers, everyone.
Sounds like Heatley just waived his NTC.
Says who, Eklund?
Excellent work by Tambellini, finally the oilers have a legit sniper and he unloaded a few contracts so he can make a few signings tomorrow! I'm pumped we got the best player in the deal!
IF this deal happens (if it hasn't already) I think its a good deal for both sides. Might be a real win-win. Between Cogs and Penner it would be no surprised if collectively they break 50-55 goals for a few seasons.
Should find out by 10PM. Thats when the bonus kicks in.
Sportsnet is reporting the deal is done.
Yeah for an hour they have said that. TSN hasn't reported it done yet.

Confirmed on Sportsnet, TSN.ca saying Heatley needs to waive the NTC... sounds pretty much done.

Safe again?! Penner being traded will single-handedly drive the donair industry into a recession.

It's a lot easier to get two 20 goal scorers to replace the ones that left (hell Brodziak scored 14 and we traded him for picks), then it is to get an mipact forty goal scorer.
With Smid being dealt, is this an opening for a Jack Johnson/Souray Trade? Not sure if JJ brings much grit, but it will unjam the D a bit.
The other good thing here is 3 contracts for 1.
@ Cam: Yeah, I agree with you there. Getting worried that the NMC won't be waived...
I think it might be time to g-g-ghost ride...

@ Amber McCormick: of course you mean locally..right?
I'm buy the nearest Donair spot to the Rink in Ottawa. I got a real hunch, there's a boom coming.
1260 is confirming, but 630 isn't.
AArrrgggghh...10:00pm is almost here...and no Tencer confirmation....can't take it!

Bell Let's Talk Day Recap
Thanks to everyone who might have participated in Bell Let's Talk Day yesterday. For those of you who follow me on Twitter, I was using #BellLetsTalk as often as I could.
Stop the Stigma of Mental Illness http://t.co/nE4m5SxH #BellLetsTalk
— Rae (@NotJustClutter) February 12, 2013
Why? Because a Canadian company (Bell Canada) is donating .5 cents to mental health research for every tweet and text using that hash tag. My Twitter feed was alive with people sharing their support and stories!! I loved it! Yesterday was a big day, but we should all be committed to keeping the conversation going every day to stop the stigma of mental health. This goes not just for compulsive hoarding, but for ANY mental disorder.
Final tallies aren't in just yet…but the last time I checked, Bell was reporting 85, 536, 167 texts, tweets, and long distance calls that all qualified under #BellLetsTalk. Multiple that by .5 cents each, and that's well over 4 million dollars raised! In ONE day!! In ONE country!!!
I bet that will put some minds at ease, huh? 😉
Guest Post: Squalor Holler
Today I have a guest post up at Squalor Holler. Yep, that's right…there are a whole bunch of fellow bloggers sharing their experience as children of compulsive hoarders. And Sarah at Squalor Holler has a great series going on her blog sharing the stories of fellow COHs. And today is MY day!
So scoot on over to read more about my interview, and be sure to give Sarah some love in the comments. She's doing her part to keep the conversation going.

The following is a guest post from our friends at Luckymag.com.
From The Craft to Charmed, we've always had a thing for witches (and not just because a dramatic black dress will never go out of style). The Secret Circle, the CW series which began airing this fall, is no exception. The twisty drama hinges on an orphan named Cassie Blake (Britt Robertson) who moves in with her grandmother in the small town of Chance Harbor.
Her group of newly acquired friends—including Faye, Diana, Melissa, Nick and Adam—reveal that they (Cassie included) are all descendants of powerful witches and belong to a group called the Secret Circle. As her relationships with members of the circle begin to strengthen, she learns how to unlock incredible powers. She also stumbles across some shocking information that reveals her dangerous destiny. Hooked, yet?
So while holiday shopping may not require black magic, we thought it was fitting to ask the show's leading ladies to offer up some gift tricks, particularly when it comes to picking Secret Santa presents. After all, not all witchery is supernatural—some is learned.
Check out the rest of the Secret Santa gifts from Shelley Hennig and Jessica Parker Kennedy here.
Keep up with the Lucky team on Twitter @LuckyMagazine!

The Green River Pirate track team traveled to Millard High School on April 18, for what turned out to be a great day for the track team. Each team member either posted a personal record or qualified for the State Tournament to be held on May 15 and 16 at the BYU track. Lindsey Spadafora qualified for State in the long jump with a jump of 15 feet, 4.5 inches. Sarah Swalberg qualified in the javelin with a throw of 114 feet, 11 inches and Megan Hatt qualified in the high jump with a height of 4 feet 8 inches.
Holden Marshall competed in the javelin, Adam Steuer competed in the 1600 M run and Josh Butler competed in both the 800 M and 400 M runs.
Though well into the season, for a few, this track meet was their first or second opportunity to compete. What the track team lacks in numbers they make up for in heart and dedication.

Here is the information about the Pepsi Refresh project that I was talking to you about!
Imagination Stage is in the running for a $25,000 Pepsi Refresh grant to help create this summer's world-premiere of The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe in collaboration with The Washington Ballet. This production will combine theatre, dance, music, and puppetry in a way most children have never been able to witness! Aslan will be a giant lion puppet, much like the puppet currently being used in Broadway's War Horse.
To make this production possible, Imagination Stage needs your vote. The top 15 organizations with the most votes in our category will get the $25,000 grant - please help us be one of them! We dropped back to #20 this morning and would really like to break the top 15 this week!
Go to refresheverything.com/imaginationstage to see our promotional video and read more about this project.
There are three ways to vote –
· Visit http://www.refresheverything.com/imaginationstage
· On the grey toolbar click 'Sign-in'
· Login using Facebook or create a Pepsi Refresh Account
· Publicize your vote by sharing on your social networks (Facebook, Twitter, etc.)
You can also vote by texting 110484 to PEPSI (73774)!
I know that you and I disagree on the importance of the arts, but I KNOW that we don't disagree on the brilliance of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe! Thanks, Daddy, for helping me spread the word!
