Your points have been repeated to death, but still true. And to those pvp lovers opposing these facts, you are considered a whiner, and whiners are weak and therefore easy prey. Its not just their right but also their duty to feed on and rise above what they consider loosers. You loose, and everytime you try to fight back with reasoning, you only rejustify that they are right.
Pvp is not for everyone, it is not even for that many, but as a concept it is much stronger and easier to design than pve mechanics. So there is your problem, over time pvp suffocates pve, because it is just more effecient as cost per customer. Abandon this corrupted genre, mmorpgs just arent made anymore.

Haha Adam you're not boring you sure entertained me with that article, even if I pretty much disagree.
I think a lot of pvp frustration comes from people uninformed about pvp (not by their own fault, just not any info in game). They assume their PVE setup of 1-0 keys and wasd movement should work in PVP - when that's usually a terrible setup. Like tab targeting, most games I've played recently have an optional keybind in the settings where you can bind a key to target what your mouse is over. Ths is huge in pvp.
Also a lot of those pvp asses can be beat if you just search youtube for tips on a good keyboard layout and tactics/rotations against each class and practice. Sure, sometimes you just need better gear but there is strategy involved with staying alive and winning... anyway, enough of that...
I've found that there are just as many assholes in PVE with their "only 130k hps? noob!" remarks, so at least in pvp I have a chance at killing them. I've found I'd rather play an instanced pvp match that takes 25 mins over a 3 hour dungeon instance when I'm queing up with random people. This is assuming max level in today's theme park mmos where you've already "been there done that."
I guess we can only play what we're given and sadly there isn't as much variety out there right now as games are claiming. At least imho.
"I started playing online games in 1999 (yeah I'm going there). Player versus player-ing was but a pipe dream: the sparkle in some kid's eye, or in Mark Jacobs' showering cubicle"
Umm, no...it wasnt. Every major MMORPG at the time already had it. Meridian 59 had it, The Realm Online had it, Ultima Online had it, EverQuest had it...Asherons Call had it...hell, NeverWinter Nights Online had it back in 1991...
English have been ganking weaker countries for centuries. The psychological need for this kind of game play should be nothing of a surprise, especially to an englishman.
I respect your opinion in this article, but for me I differ on the reason I feel modern pvp sucks. In themeparks, instanced pvp for points on an almost never ending gear treadmill, in the same battlefields you have done 500 times, where gearscore ussually determines the outcome before skill, with no impact on the world, is not really exciting or fulfilling to me.
The pvp I loved, where strategy and commradery was forefront, was Shadowbane. No instances. You were fighting for the good xp spot, runedropper, the mine that gave resources to your guild, the city you had build with your friends, or a city you are trying to seige for some political relationship gone bad. Yes, there was a lot of ganking of lowbies, and that and the bugginess of the game most likely led to it's downfall.
But to compare a win in some instanced BG to the thrill of defending your city from a seige is not even close. Also take into account that BG you just did was with a bunch of randoms you will most likely not see again as they exit the instance, to people you have been building that city with for months or years. You didn't get any points. You weren't working towards that super uber pants of pwnage. The thrill of victory, in and of itself, was intoxicating.
I look forward to the new iterations of this kind of structure, both in the Repop and ArcheAge.
Often lurking, rarely posting
Enjoyed the read Tho I do feel some points are misguided, this is only my opinion! Firstly.. you say PvP is a "non-skilled, jab fest" yet you are aweful at it, so PvE requires? Skill is not just mashing your buttons faster than the other guy in all cases, there is also the aspect of thinking faster, predicting, planning a fight to your advantage or simply put, keeping your cool. I believe this is a large part of pvp and not just in an MMO. The same skill set plays its role in PvE, those who panic often end up losing a battle before its really lost, I have seen it countless times raiding.
The second is.. what really has a lasting effect on a MMO world, I do not have a hugely broad experience of MMO's - WoW, War, Rift, SWTOR and trials of others! From the experiences I have had, PvP nor PvE have any meaninful lasting effect on the world ( its something most MMO players dream about im sure! ). Invariably things reset, and here you go again.. out to kill the same bosses, to do the same events in a zone to reach the same goal you were aiming for last week, month or even year. Granted there are some events that do last, these are usually related to major patches, which.. happen in PvP too.
You might hate PvP but its not all that different. If there is a close community or regular players you are facing, you find your "bosses" your personal mission to finally beat the guy who has been destroying you all week, your quests to get better looking / superior gear. The players are what makes it dynamic.
We all want a true persistent dynamic and immersive game. We play the aspect of our chosen game we prefer, while dreaming of mechanics we want to see.
I think "PvP Right" is another of those semantic null forum expressions. Seems to be about a hundred different ideas of what "right" means, in this thread alone.
Damn, it's almost like a roleplay thread. The only constant is, no one does it 'right' (except whoever's speaking, of course).
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.

you and me both buddy, shadowbane was such a good game despite all the bugs.
Deth to you ALL!
Well you missed the best pvp game ever UT99.The problem with all pvp is how it plays out with latency/lag/packet loss/frame rates ect ect.
I don't understand the part about team work to take down a target?PVP stands for player versus player.Team pvp involving a target would be more like COD or a Battlegrounds target.
rpg pvp has been done down right awful,i have seen nothing i want to take part in.The reason is movement is limited,map play is not a factor at all,weapons are not balanced enough for all distances and in most games stats and gear matters.So imo it gives us about a 10-20% skill level and the rest is just everything else.RPG's further the problem by trying to add fps like aiming,but needing to access 20 hot keys at the same time,it is counter productive.Other games make limitations on how many skills you can use.I have this skill but i can't use it?Hmm not very good design.
You see my opinion is that there is no one best way to play,that is what makes a fps the best at pvp.In RPG's you have your best damage,your best healing ability and really nothing is brought to the table outside the box.Hate tools no longer come into play in pvp either,so half of what you learned to play with in a rpg is removed for pvp combat.
If i did want to play a pvp environment right now in a rpg,it would be FFXI's.It takes place in the real game world,NOT an instance idea.The teams are balanced ,example 5 versus 5 and levels are balanced as well.However gear is to each their own and can make a big difference.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

This makes me feel good
Modern PvP is very much a game within a game these days. I agree 100% with your comments about how older games were. Login and play, not worrying about specs and builds. I don't know what was wrong with that either.
That said I'm not in your catagory of unskilled button mashing, I tend to do quite well in PvP but I also tend to use odd specs. I've never been into cookie cutter builds and I don't like following the crowd. I prefer to find something a bit different that works for me.
As for tactics, they make sense. If you use even rudimentary tactics you will always beat "the zerg" which is where most players seem to find themselves in my experience.
I agree that modern PvP does suck, for the most part. "Modern" PvP being instanced battlegrounds where success is driven primarily by gear/stats and the people with more free time.
You (OP) obviously never played the games that had strategy and tactics but they did exist. DaoC and Shadowbane both required all kinds of strategy and tactics as well as skill/teamwork in execution to be successful. I remember our realm in DaoC (Midgard/Percival) would plan for weeks, if not months, for relic raid assaults or other various RvR objectives in web forums prior to doing them in game. Putting a plan into action and adapting and overcoming was awesome, I had some of the best PvP/RvR times of my life in that game.
Nowadays the large majority wants instant gratification, without having to put in the time/work for the reward. Which brings up the other major fault of modern PvP, the reward. The reward has transformed from being the thrill of the fight, or the excitement of victory (sometimes defeat)...to what epic purple weapon of godly'ness do I get if I do 500 battlegrounds??? To me, that is the single biggest reason why modern PvP sucks.
I PvP because I am a competitor, I play to crush/win, and there is no better way to test yourself then when against other competitors. Win or lose it is fun (most of the time ), I just wish there were more competitors instead of gear grinders around these days...because IMHO, they are the ones that make PvP suck..

This x 1000
I couldn't agree more. Bragging rights used to be all the reward one required, you emerged victorious over your opponent, which was the goal from the start.
So much crap, so little quality.

- A Real Story?
- Yes! Tell Me About When You Were A Boy.
- Well, Then, I Shall Have To Take You Back
With Me, A Long Way In Time...
It Was My Thirteenth Year On A Cold Winter's
Day, As I Walked Through The Enchanted Forest,
I Heard The Sounds Of Horses And Men At Arms.
I Felt Compelled To Walk On And Find The Place
Of These Sounds. And When The Forest Did Clear
I Was Standing On A Hill. Before Me There Was
A Great Plane, Atoned The Armies Of The World,
Standing, Waiting. I Thought To Myself, For
Whom Or For What Are They Waiting ?
Suddenly A Gust Of Wind Come Up From The North
There Appeared A Lone Rider, Holding A Sword Of
Steel. Then From The South Came Another, Bearing
A Battle Axe. From The East Came A Third,
Holding A Spiked Club, And Finally, From The
West A Rider Who Wielded A Great Hammer Of War.
With Them Came Their Soldiers Of Death, Followed
By An Army Of Immortals. They Were Few In
Number, But The Look In Their Eyes Told All
Who Beheld Them That They Would Leave This
Day Only In Victory Or Death. And There Was
A Great Silence...
My Heart Began To Pound, Storm Clouds Filled
The Sky With Darkness. Rain Came And Four
Winds Blew With Such Anger That I Held Fast To
A Tree. I Watched The Four Riders Raise Their
Weapons Into The Air. Without Warning, Screaming
Their War Cry They Led The Attack. Down To The
Battle They Ride. They Met The Armies Of The
World With A Mighty Clash! I Could Feel The
Groundshake, The Earth Drank Much Blood That Day.
Each Of The Four, Was Into Himself A Whirlwind
Of Doom !!!
When The Smoke Did Clear, Many Thousands Were
Dead. There Was Much Blood And Gore. Their
Bodies Lay Broken And Scattered Across The
Battle Field, Like Brown Leaves Blown By The
Wind. And I Saw The For Ride Together To The
Top Of The Hill, While Below Them The Soldiers
Of Death Assembled All Those Who Would Now
Swear Allegiance To Them.
And The Four Spoke The Words Of The
Warriors Prayer.
- Gods Of War I Call You, My Sword Is By My Side.
I Seek A Life Of Honor Free From All False Pride.
I Will Crack The Whip With A Bold Mighty Hail.
Cover Me With Death If I Should Ever Fail.
Glory, Majesty, Unity - Hail, Hail, Hail
And As I Stood And Looked On, I Heard The Armies
Of The World Hail Them Without End, And Their
Voices Of Victory Carried Long And Fat Throughout
The Land!
- Well, That's It. Did You Like The Story?
- Yeah, It Was Great!
- Oh, Good, I'm Glad. Now Off To Bed With You.
- Grandfather?
- Yes?
- Who Were Those Four Men?
- Who Were They? They Were The Metal Kings!!!!!
Todays answer:
-Who Were They? I dont know,they AFKed out from battleground and they bought better gear and moved to winner server and changed their names and some of them were bots and and...

Oh, and the article reads like a whiny rant. Pvp in a box is pvp in a box, and it isn't going anywhere but neither is it the cause of the world's problems. Trick is just to limit it's balance affecting pve and the game as a whole. If people want to massacre each other in a pvp box let them, as long as there's other options and other games I don't see the issue really.
No, I remember it as well. Yet many seem to look back with rose-tinted glasses at DAOC's setup and forget all the horror, pain, and suffering they encountered. It's human nature to block out bad memories. DAOC had to offer "free high level characters" and the like to try and get people to move servers to make it more competitive, as most servers were dominated by one realm, and contrary to many people's faulty memories here, the two lesser realms didn't "fight the good fight and beat up the big bad meanie". No, they got ganked. Repeatedly. Till they moved servers where their realm was top dog. Sure, once your realm is #1, PvP is more fun.... no one likes to lose.
And regarding others saying "Shadowbane". You mean the game where an entire server could be dominated by a single guild who managed to drive away the playerbase faster than any previous game ever had? Sure, great fun for that guild.... till they ran out of people to gank. Sucked for the developer. No players = no money.

Authorities with different police agencies say three recent reports of strangers approaching women and children are all false.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office and Parker Police Department said their investigators have determined that the reports made between July 16 and July 23 are not credible. Now two of those who made the claims face criminal charges, including false reporting to authorities, a Class 3 misdemeanor.
The sheriff's office issued an alert July 19 out of "concern for public safety" after two women reported incidents in Highlands Ranch. One woman said a Hispanic male approached her July 16 near her home in the Northridge Park area of Highlands Ranch and asked her to go with him. When she refused, she said, he got in a white van and quickly drove away.
Three days later, another woman said a "dark-skinned man" put his arm around her waist in a parking lot at the Taco Bell at Blakeland Drive at Highway 85, just outside Highlands Ranch. She said she pushed him away and he left in a white van.
The Parker police responded July 23 to a call of a man in a white van approaching two young children in Jola Park in Clarke Farms and offering them candy. That report was also found to be untrue, with officials saying two hours after an alert was issued that the "information may not be as credible as initially presumed."
Sgt. Andy Coleman, public information officer for the Parker police, said the department is not considering criminal charges because the false report came from an 8-year-old girl. He defended against criticism the department received on Facebook for disseminating what turned out to be false information, calling the situation a "Catch-22."
"We want to get it out to everybody as soon as possible when we get a report like that," Coleman said. "The downside is when someone is lying and providing a false report. But if we ever waited, I think people would be upset if we didn't provide that information."
The sheriff's office had encouraged residents to immediately call in suspicious activity involving a Hispanic male in a white van to its Major Case Tip Line. The announcement that the two Highlands Ranch reports were false noted that they came in to investigators as "distinct separate incidents."
The DCSO says "it is likely charges will be recommended" to the 18th Judicial District Attorney's Office.

German brand Ethel Vaughn's lookbook for their fall 2011 menswear collection may not exactly be an actual great outdoors adventure, but we gotta say we dig it nonetheless. Aside from the overall killer 90s meets wilderness boy vibe they've got going on, we are really loving all the cool denim duds styled into the mix. Easy to wear chambray shirts layered under denim jackets and sweaters with cool patchwork details look cool with loose fit jeans and cords (totally 90s). But our absolute favorite is definitely an ultra-rad boxy denim tee. Check out the full lookbook bellow!

Google to be fined millions by U.S. over Safari breachFriday, May 4th, 2012
The United States Federal Trade Commission will fine Google for its breach of Apple's Safari web browser security, Bloomberg reported on Friday. The Internet giant is currently negotiating with the Commission over an acceptable fine, which could amount to tens of millions of dollars. The fine would be the first time the FTC has ever punished a company for violating Internet privacy safeguards. Google in February was found to be bypassing the privacy settings of millions of unknowing Safari users by using a special code to install cookies on a userâs computer, even when such actions were supposed to be blocked by the browser.

Blues In My Heart, CD (£7.43)
The fifth release in our extensive CD reissue series of B.B. King's classic LPs for the Crown label between 1957 and 1963 shows the blues guitar maestro in a small combo setting. With seven previously unissued bonus tracks.
by Alan Empson
(Reviews Editor, Juke Blues)
It would be difficult to come up with a more apt title for a B.B. King album. Throughout his extensive career, the blues have always been close to his heart. This, the penultimate of his twelve albums on Crown Records, was issued in early 1963, (and later reissued as A Heart Full Of Blues"), although the tracks were probably recorded in late 1961 as part of the stockpiling process before B.B. went to ABC. The term 'stockpiling' suggests a perfunctory churning-out of material, and the similarity in tone and tempo of the songs here might at first glance uphold that suggestion. But listen closer.
B.B. was incapable of a mechanical performance-.-each song is invested with a sincerity in the vocals, that ranges from quiet authority to the heights of emotional intensity. For the most part, these are songs that invoke sadness, but without pity-.-there is always an air of defiance in the face of despair. The unmistakable guitar figures never become tiresome, as B.B. demonstrates his effective less-is-more approach, tasteful and emotive-.-an object lesson to wannabe guitarists. The small combo setting gives B.B. plenty of room to manoeuvre, and the subtle approach is enhanced by Maxwell Davis' gentle keyboard playing and Plas Johnson's complementary tenor saxophone.
An interesting feature for the long-time B.B. King enthusiast is the fact that most of the material here is unfamiliar. Even a song such as Downhearted, better known as How Blue Can You Get, has, despite Johnson's weaving sax, a straight-forward simplicity that contrasts with B.B.'s later, more dramatic, versions. Strange Things may strike a chord, as it has been covered and reworked as Love Me Or Leave Me, by amongst others, James Cotton.
As with the other releases in this series, bonus tracks are added-.-in this case, there are seven previously unissued sides, along with an extended version of the Kent 45 My Sometime Baby. All these tracks are taken from a similar time period as the Crown album, and the overall small combo feel is retained throughout. After the relentless slow-shuffle, deep blues of the first ten tracks, it is good to encounter the uptempo drive of Your Good Lovin' Man, or the sheer joie de vivre of My Baby's An Angel and My Baby's Dynamite (no relation to Tampa Red's She's Dynamite, cut by B.B. in 1951). The fact that these sides have not been issued previously does not mean that they are in any way inferior - just an indication of how much material the Bihari brothers had accumulated. Loving You In Vain, for instance, is as good as anything that did see the light of day.
This series is filling out nicely, and is all part of Ace's master plan to honour the greatest and most influential blues man of all time. A man with genius in his fingertips, and a heart full of blues."

Experiencing a cancer diagnosis can strengthen a relationship in many ways. However, cancer can put an additional stress on a relationship and may cause challenges.
When we enter into a relationship, we think mostly of the good times we'll share together; and may not be prepared for the reality of how cancer can change everyday life.
You may find that you both are dealing with the emotions of cancer ... such as sadness, anxiety, fear and anger. Roles and responsibilities can change, when one partner takes over the role of caregiver.
Household chores, work responsibilities and social obligations also get mixed in and it can be overwhelming to manage. Changes that occur in your physical body during either surgery or treatment can put intimacy on hold as well.
Here are a few thoughts to keep in mind:
Every couple will have their own way of dealing with a cancer diagnosis. What has worked for you? Share your thoughts and experiences.

My boyfriend has stage IV colon cancer with mets on his liver. He has told me I need to move on and I have no say in the matter. I want to stay I dont want to leave him. How do I make him understand to not push me away?
i have stage ll lung cancer had surgery and now will start chemo in 6 days. i am so angry at everything. i am also very mean to my husband who has been saintly throughout. i don't know what to do or how to snap out of this bitch-i-ness. help!!!
Great book on Amazon to help everyone deal with the emotional toll of cancer called "Survivng Cancer: The Emotional Toll" Getting great reviews:
I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. I did not handle my emotions very well and my husband did very little to assure me that everything would be alright. typically he leaves me alone. He left me alone and never wnet to one chemo treatment. There was one time during chemo that I became dehydrated, fortuantely I had a visitor that day. untimately I was left at home alone. He never even called to see if I was OK. This has put a strain on our marriage. I feel like Lou's wife, I feel like I need to divorce him and start over cause you know what, when you hear "you've got cancer" your whole world changes.
My wife of 25 years was diagnosed with stage one breast cancer almost two years ago. They also determined she had the BRCA 1 mutation so after radiation and chemo she elected to have both breasts and her ovaries removed. We went through everything together - I was with her at every doctor visit, every chemo treatment, every surgery. I took time off from work when the chemo treatments would get her down. I thought it actually that horrible experience brought us closer together, but now she suddenly doesn't think she wants to be married any more because she has a new outlook on life and wants to live each day to it's fullest...I'm not really sure why she can't do that with me...I'm devastated.
It has only been about two weeks since my husband of 25 years was diagnosed with Stage III (possible Stage IV) colon cancer. After the surgergy he is healing well, but he doesn't want to talk about the next step. We have our first appointment with the oncologist tomorrow. We have always shared household duties, etc. as I have fibromyalgia, etc. Now I have to come home and take care of him and the house and be strong for the other shoe to drop and I am already tired. I cannot imagine my life without him. We are more tender with each other now with less fighting, we are just both scared.
I have Prostate cancer and have battling for 3 years with on going treatments, right now I'm taking trial drugs, getting a monthly shot and my quarterly (4) month Luprin shot. My wife has been there for me through all of this and has kept a positive attitude all through it. I'm still working my butt off and I'm just wondering if it is time to slow down at work and start spending more quality time with the wife and kids. Doctors said I have 2-3 years but maybe longer. More new drugs and treatments they say. Open for suggestions from all.
my husband had his appendix removed and at his check-up was told he has colon cancer, our first visit to the oncologist is coming this week. what questions do i need to ask, what should i expect and how can i help my husband cope
I have Ph+CML in remission, but chemo pills to continue forever and find my spouse of 54 years mostly sympathetic and helpful. However, he still expects me to travel with him--to the beach, to Italy, etc. We have traveled extensively and now I am just too tired all the time to even think about it. We have learned to treasure every moment together. I just want to spend my moments at home. He absolutely cannot understand my attitude. Fran
My diagnosis completely caught us off-guard. My husband and been wonderful and caring, but hides many of his emotions and frustrations from me because he doesn't want to burden me. I feel guilty that he works and I'm on disability. I love him for all that he does and for being by my side when I've been scared out of my mind. Our relationship has changed physically, and not just because of my surgery/treatments. He's physically tired that his libido is definitely suppressed. In some ways it's good, since my surgery has left me with little drive as well. We snuggle and hold each other every night.
I was truly shocked with stage one cancer. I have been a Wellness Director, personal trainer and health avocate for 35 years. Whoa, this doesn't happen to me??!! But it did. My significant other of 15 years who was also a fitness instructor, PE teacher pretty much never got it. So He did a 2 day stay and bailed. I have to say it was probably better because I needed healthy attitudes, no other distractions and now I am strong, independant and have had a 6 month clean mamo. Keep positive!!
My companion of six years experienced a change in his feelings a year ago and after sharing that information this past fall, we no longer share companionship.My cancer was diagnosed four years ago and the changes following treatment were difficult for both of us.I have been able to return to my work, however do continue to experience side effects from ongoing hormonal treatment.
My Wife of 47 years was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer seven months ago. I love her more today then ever before. She is the joy of my life, and next to CHRIST, is the most wonderful blessing my Heavenly FATHER has ever given to me. My heart goes out to all of you who have lost loved ones due to you illness. I do not know your names, but I will think of you daily and pray to the FATHER of light that He provides you with all your daily needs.
My wonderful spouse of 27 years couldn't handle it and bailed out on me, physically, emotionally and financially.
God help him. Karma is hell.
I have a family who completely hold me at arms lenght because the diagnosis is so hard for THEM, imagine that so hard for them
I am so fortunate to have my cancer in a later stage of life--my spouse & I have been together for nearly 50 years. We've become best friends, not just lovers, and he has amazed me with his empathy. This probably wouldn't have been likely in our younger years. We also have a strong faith as Christians, and that has made all the difference.
Was diagnosed last year with stage 2 anal cancer, 29 years old with a 2 year old child. My once thought soul mate, my childs father denies the cancer, refuses to help me make critical choices about treatment, and after 6 years together, i believe he feels i have somehow done wrong to him for my diagnosis. I have now learned,i am #1 to be a strong woman and want to be alive to raise my child. I tried all those techniques, failing each time, over and over.

i also hope for a good show from elfman after a disepointing strategi against mira
yeah i mean i think our best bet for a good showing from elfman is for him just to hulk out and go ape s**t on some one.
Im not believing miras dead.. I dont want to either..
BTW, i first was wondering how she could have protected lisanna.. my guess was her magic.. Guessing she used it to shield her. Seeing as she was supposed to be nearly out of magic i wonder if she used something more than just that, though.. like life force or something. :-/ But i do agree it doesnt really make sense. lol But then again, they are using magic lol..
For some reason i also for a moment thought mira gave her powers to lisanna also.. but i dont really like that much.
And what the hell is that on page 21.. the middle right picture.. Is that a bracelet or something?
So Gildratz easily won over Natsu, he's a fucking kid have you notice Natsu won the pass major boss fights with a temporary power at all? Hades KO'ed Marakov like nothing Gildratz won't stand a chance. I see Gildratz 7kin level or slightly higher, isn't he wounded also?
Wait a second Gildratz = FT Shanks?!!!
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWW. where is the new chapter it is usually out by now :(
oh and do you mean the knocked over soup pot on page 21?
But I give no credit to Azuma. Hate guys like him and Espada 5 in Bleach. Act like no one has been good enough to challenge you, and then when some1 even comes close, what do they do? I'm gonna have to cheat or distract you in order to win, and then afterwards I 'm going to brag and complain about how easy it was to beat you and how I never get a proper challenge. Cause it's not like my cheating or distractions were needed in order for me to win. I just did them for the hell of it. Reminds of fake wrestling's mentality of it takes the biggest, toughest, strongest, baddest person to come from behind and take you down from your blind spot when you're doing something else, or jump you with a couple of guys.

"Absolutely love these... they look great with a pair of tights or skinny jeans and fit fine under a pair of boot-cuts. Something about the buckle adds some spunk to rather modern/clean look. I def reccommend!"

Love the color
"I was looking for different colored boots outside of black, dark brown, and cognac. I thought these boots had a great look, and they are really comfortable. I love the little wedge, and the color is really grey. It's advertised as black on the website. I wear a 8.5, but I ordered a 9 because of the pointy toe. That was a good choice, but the fit is just right."

Dear Mr. Dad: My two children, 8 and 10, have never gotten along. They fight over the smallest things, so our house is a constant battleground. I've heard of sibling rivalry but this seems more serious. We've tried sitting them down and talking to them, time-outs, and such, but nothing ever changes. What can we do to make it stop?
A: Well, you can start by giving up on the idea that your kids are going to stop fighting. As parents, we want our children to get along, share, and love each other—it makes life so much easier (and quieter) if they do. But they won't. As long as there have been siblings—all the way back to Cain and Abel—there has been sibling rivalry. Part of it has to do with competition.
Our society is based on performance and we generally reward people who outperform others. Do better in school, go to a better college. Sell more widgets, earn a trip to Hawaii. Win a championship, get a trophy (or at least one that's bigger than what everyone else gets for just showing up). It's understandable how siblings might feel that they have to compete with each other—for your attention, your praise, your love. And unfortunately, no matter how hard you try, you can't give your kids equal amounts.
In a lot of cases, parents (and other adults or people of authority) inadvertently encourage rivalry by favoring one child over another. They probably don't mean to but it happens anyway. Have you ever found yourself saying something like, "Why can't you get good grades like your brother?" or "Maybe you should try another activity. Billy is a better athlete than you are"? Or perhaps you heard someone approach the sibling of a top performing child and say, "Your sister is so amazing. It must be so great to have a sister like that"?
- There's no way to completely stop siblings from fighting. But you can help them do it less destructively:
- Go on dates with each child, giving him or her your undivided attention.
- Don't play favorites and don't compare your children. They're different people with different needs. Pay attention to those differences and act accordingly, making each child feel special in his or her own way.
- Understand that you're going to fail sometimes. It takes an incredibly long time for kids to truly learn that "fair" and "the same" are two completely different things.
- Ask your kids—one at a time—to help you understand why they're fighting so much. Encourage as much detail as possible (comments like, "He's not nice to me," or "She drives me crazy," won't cut it). And listen carefully to their answers. If there are legitimate issues, schedule a family meeting to talk them through.
- Establish ground rules. Arguments are okay. Physical violence and name calling are not.
- Intervene less. Jumping in—unless it's absolutely necessary—keeps them from learning to resolve their differences on their own. If you do have to get involved, try not to take sides. Get everyone calm and then discuss the issues.
- Look on the bright side. As unpleasant as your children's behavior is to be around, it may actually be good for them. By fighting with each other, they're learning about empathy, negotiation, conflict resolution, effective and ineffective ways to handle arguments, and how to win gracefully and lose with dignity.
- Model good behavior. If you and your wife can argue, compromise, and make up, your kids may learn to do the same.

Orthopaedic Surgery Professor Honored with Endowed Chair
Berton R. Moed, M.D., a professor with the University for 10 years and an alum of the School of Medicine, was awarded with the Hansjörg Wyss Endowed Chair in Orthopaedic Surgery.

At Saint Louis University, it remains imperative to both attract and retain outstanding faculty, who are recognized scholars and experts in their fields and disciplines.
These faculty members then in turn help students attain the knowledge and skills they need to develop as a whole and provide them the tools needed to transform society.
On Tuesday, Berton R. Moed, M.D. was honored with the Hansjörg Wyss Endowed Chair in Orthopaedic Surgery during an investiture ceremony held at Il Monastero. The event was attended by several of the University's current endowed chairs and professors, along with department chairs and former deans, as well as orthopaedic surgery department faculty and Moed family friends. That evening, Berton Moed was also celebrating his 41st wedding anniversary with his wife, Jill, who was in attendance, along with their daughter Rebecca Moed.
Philip Alderson, M.D., vice president of Saint Louis University Medical Center Affairs and dean of the School of Medicine, said the award of an endowed chair brings prestige to its holder and honor to the person whose generosity established it.
Wyss was unable to attend the ceremony and was represented by Steve Schwartz, a long time associate and friend.
"It has been many years since I have been on Saint Louis University's campus. The change has been dramatic. The campus and the surrounding community are extremely impressive," Schwartz said.
In regards to the gift from Wyss, Schwartz said there was one sole reason behind it — Berton Moed.
"Mr. Wyss has known him for a long time, and respects and admires him," Schwartz said.
Berton Moed came to SLU in 2003 to serve as chair and professor of the department of Orthopaedic Surgery. An alum of Saint Louis University's School of Medicine, he received his medical degree in 1976 and completed his general surgery internship in 1976 to 1977 followed by an orthopaedic surgery residency and fellowship training.
In his 10 years with the department, he has made significant changes using the knowledge he gained from his time with the Orthopaedic Residency Review Committee of the ACGME. The size of the SLU orthopaedic residency program has increased from three to five residents each year, as well as incorporated a research emphasis year. In the last 10 years, the department experienced tremendous growth in research output, the number of orthopaedic full-time faculty and practice locations, as well as profitability.
"Roy has made quite a difference in the department here at SLU and that is why we are honoring him tonight," Saint Louis University President Lawrence Biondi, S.J. said.
A few weeks ago, Berton Moed said he was asked how he was able to get the funding from Wyss, to which he simply replied, "Well, I've known him a long time — and I asked him."
Wyss is the former chairman of Synthes, a global medical device company whose surgical instruments and implants have revolutionized the treatment of trauma on the human skeletons.
After last year's purchase of Synthes by Johnson & Johnson in a multi-billion dollar acquisition, Wyss now spends much of his time devoted to his many philanthropic pursuits, which includes environmental conservation, medical teaching and social justice.
"Mr. Wyss has a high admiration for the work Dr. Moed has done — his commitment to patient care, education and just good surgery," Schwartz said.
This endowed chair will support the research endeavors of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Tissue Engineering Laboratory.
Moed received an honorary medallion to symbolize he will now be known as the Hansjörg Wyss Endowed Chair in Orthopaedic Surgery, the funds derived from which will be used to support orthopaedic research. Schwartz also received an honorary medallion in recognition of the establishment of the endowed chair.

'Lugging It' was Matt Seattle's term for 'learning by ear'
This article was provoked by a discussion on the Bob Dunsire forum regarding the delicate question of teaching tunes in workshops, and whether this should be done by ear or from 'the dots'.
I am convinced of the value of being able to learn 'by ear', but for many this is a challenge. However, I feel that there are ways in which music can successfully be taught without 'dots'; the following is a sample 'lesson' which explores one of these ways. It is not meant to be an actual lesson, but aproposal for the kind of lesson that might help. It is here for you to comment on.
There are sound files which attempt to substitute for a tutor's playing, but since I had to record them myself, they are for guidance only [it may help to play them on a loop using windows media player settings].

Chocolate Taps Into Healthier Living
Download PDF [0 KB]
Barry Callebaut, the world's largest chocolate maker, says it may have come up with a chocolate bar that could fight wrinkles and slow the aging process, making it the latest food group to tap the appetite for healthier living.
Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the nutritional value of what they eat, and Barry Callebaut's claims come as food giants also push into the healthy eating arena.
"Food manufacturing companies are leveraging health and wellness into various products and there is definitely a market for chocolate in health and wellness," said Kepler Capital Markets analyst Jon Cox.

Hi everyone. First time poster. Your collective expertise would be highly appreciated.
I'm currently looking at an apt to sublease, and I like the place. The problem I have, is that the showerhead literally just spouts a constant DRIP... call me needy, but I just cant stand a WEAK shower, especially in the morning.
Is there something I can do to increase the water pressure? (water coming through the bottom is just fine). I know replacing the pipes is the long run solution, but since I'm only going to be there for a short period of time, I'm looking for the most cost effective solution.

Is that better? It's almost like a Harry Potter photo. If you asked her through your device - laptop, tablet, phone, whatever - to move so as to give you a better angle, she probably would.

March 20, 2010
We present an effcient algorithm for interpolation and extrapolation of a discrete set of European option prices into a an arbitrage consistent full double continuum in expiry and strike of option prices. The method is based on an application of the fully implicit finite difference method and related to the local variance gamma model of Carr (2008). In a numerical example we show how the model can fitted to all quoted prices in the SX5E option market (12 expiries, each with roughtly 10 strikes) in 0.05 seconds of CPU time.

Did You Know? Countdown to Thanksgiving 2009 (11/25)
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures &
Folklore about the Pilgrims
& America's Thanksgiving
Nov 25 : 01 day till Thanksgiving
Did you know that for many Native American people, Thanksgiving is cause for mourning rather than celebration?
Although the First Thanksgiving included the Pilgrims' Native American neighbors, that spirit of cooperation did not last long between the native people and the colonists.
The land and lives of the native people were pillaged and destroyed countless times during the early history of the United States of America. Racism and bigotry persist until this day. As a result, Thanksgiving has taken on greater historical significance for many Native Americans, who view that First Thanksgiving as the beginning of centuries of oppression and discrimination.
Related: The National Day of Mourning
Thanksgiving Day in America is a time to offer thanks, a time for family gatherings and holiday meals. A time of turkeys, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. A time for Indian corn, holiday parades and giant balloons. We are delighted to invite you to partake in our Thanksgiving celebration. Our table is full this year, but we always have room for one more! So join us for a new Did You Know? each day as we count down to Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving will be celebrated on Thursday November 26th.

Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, I do not accept the premise of the question. No decisions in that regard have been made.
What is on the table is our desire, our hope, and our efforts to ensure that the border is not as thick as it has grown in recent years, so that we can have more people and more trade cross the border. That will be tremendously important to the auto worker in Windsor, so we could ensure that they will become the most competitive auto sector in the world.
Why will the member not stand up for auto workers in Windsor and stand up for our agreement with President Obama?
Minister of National Defence
Oral Questions
2:25 p.m.
John McKay Scarborough—Guildwood, ON
Mr. Speaker, if the House will indulge me for a moment, I would like to pitch a new MasterCard ad: Joy ride on a search and rescue helicopter: $16,000. Staying in luxury hotels in Europe: $1,400 per night. Endless grief by the Minister of National Defence for the Prime Minister: priceless.
I bet the Minister of National Defence is having his own "shiddle-diddle" moment. How does he explain these abuses of taxpayers' money and when will he reimburse taxpayers?
Minister of National Defence
Oral Questions
2:25 p.m.
Central Nova
Nova Scotia
Peter MacKay Minister of National Defence
Mr. Speaker, Canada has certainly earned its seat at the international table when it comes to discussions like we had at the Munich security conference. This conference was held in Germany.
As to the expenses that the member is referring to, Canada books rooms at the same hotel where the conference takes place, where the majority of participants stay. Nation to nation meetings at conferences such as this advance the interests of Canada and advance the interests of the hard-working men and women who serve our country around the world. I was proud to represent Canada at that conference.
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Questions
2:25 p.m.
Carolyn Bennett St. Paul's, ON
Mr. Speaker, I understand the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs met with Chief Spence this afternoon, but he still stubbornly refuses to believe the advice of the Auditor General, his own departmental evaluations, and the Conservatives' previous aboriginal affairs minister. Third party management wreaks havoc across this country.
On Saturday, the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada and I will go to Attawapiskat. Given that the minister still does not get it, will he come and see first-hand what every Canadian is upset about? There is a seat on the plane--
Aboriginal Affairs

Some hon. members
Oh, oh!
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Questions
2:25 p.m.
The Speaker Andrew Scheer
Order, please. The hon. government House leader.
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Questions
2:25 p.m.
Peter Van Loan Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, Canadians want to see conditions on first nations reserves improved, and they want to see their tax dollars allocated for that purpose delivering results.
Today's meeting between the minister and the Attawapiskat chief represents a positive step forward. They have agreed together on a range of initiatives, including how best to deliver emergency aid, retrofit winter shelters, and assemble the 22 modular homes for those in precarious housing. These are all steps being taken by the federal government.
We will continue to work in good faith and full transparency, and we look forward to achieving results working together with the chief and council.
Oral Questions
December 15th, 2011 / 2:25 p.m.
Stéphane Dion Saint-Laurent—Cartierville, QC
Mr. Speaker, is there a Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs in this Conservative government? If there is, let him or her rise and tell us why he or she was unable to prevent the government from hiding from the provinces the real cost of Bill C-10 to each of them. The bill is regressive, pointless and flawed, and will not reduce crime, but increase the huge, American-style, overpopulated prisons that are nothing more than expensive schools for crime.
Oral Questions
2:25 p.m.
New Brunswick
Robert Goguen Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice
Mr. Speaker, the provinces are well aware of the costs associated with Bill C-10. Nevertheless, the opposition does not seem to understand the importance of the objective of Bill C-10. People who break the law will spend Christmas in jail and the victims will be protected. That has always been our objective and the cost is absolutely justified.
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Questions
2:25 p.m.
Charlie Angus Timmins—James Bay, ON
Mr. Speaker, the minister's bumbling and confrontational approach to Attawapiskat just got worse. He had the chance to mend his broken relationship with the community and now they are going to court. His claim that they need a third party Indian agent to deliver homes that were already ordered just does not wash.
Attawapiskat is not looking for handouts. It is not looking for confrontation, and it certainly is not going to pay for a gold-plated warden who is sent there to punish the community for having the nerve to speak up.
Why does the government continue to use the tactics of confrontation against this impoverished community?
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Questions
2:25 p.m.
Peter Van Loan Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, my read of today's meeting is that it was a positive and constructive event, a good step forward. We look forward to seeing more co-operation.
As I said, our priority is the health and safety of the people of Attawapiskat. Canadians have allocated, through their government, significant tax dollars for things they want to see. They want to see improvements to the conditions there and they want to see results for their tax dollars.
The third party manager is already in place. We see results being delivered, as a result. We see good progress on agreements with the band and the council. We are acting in good faith and full transparency. We hope that the chief and the council will continue to do the same.
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Questions
2:30 p.m.
Charlie Angus Timmins—James Bay, ON
Mr. Speaker, Attawapiskat did not just happen. It was years in the making, just as it is happening in first nations reserves across this country. The first thing the government did when it took power was to slash the capital funding for houses on first nations reserves by over half, and it has no intention of restoring funding. That is why the crisis is happening.
The government can punish Attawapiskat. It can fight it in court. However, does it understand that no amount of third party Indian agent is going to silence the call for justice and respect from Canada's first nations?
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Questions
2:30 p.m.
Peter Van Loan Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, since we became the government, $1.5 billion has been allocated for housing.
As I have said, Canadians want to see conditions on first nations reserves improve. They want to see results delivered for those tax dollars. In fact, on a great many reserves all across this country, we have seen very positive results.
Sadly, as the member observes, in some places that has not happened. That is why we are working harder and stronger forward to improve the problems and the failures of the past. We will continue to work together with willing partners.
I would point members to the joint action plan which the minister has signed with the Assembly of First Nations, laying out a road map on our shared priorities. These all represent positive steps forward.
The Economy
Oral Questions
2:30 p.m.
Peter Julian Burnaby—New Westminster, BC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Minister of Finance said in this House that he is not a magic money fairy. I think the facts disagree.
He has Conservative magic money for untendered and expensive F-35 fighter jets that have tripled in cost since the beginning and will now cost about $20 billion.
He has billions of dollars of Conservative pixie dust to sprinkle on unbudgeted prisons.
He has Conservative magic money for massive corporate tax cuts to banks and big oil.
He has magic money for his friends.
The question is, will he stop sprinkling magic money on his friends and start investing in Canadian families?
The Economy
Oral Questions
2:30 p.m.
Jim Flaherty Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, I do not know why the hon. member casts aspersions on fairies.
Despite this casting of aspersions on fairies, I do wish the hon. member merry Christmas from all elves and trolls, wherever we are.
We are fortunate that Canada's economy is doing relatively well in what is a challenging world. Canadians can remain assured that we will focus on jobs and the economy.

thought that was his coat?
thought that was his coat?
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
Nah, I'm pretty sure that's his stomach; it has that sort of "sheen" to it. Also, if you look closely, you can see his forearms are imbued as well from when he was punching at Luffy. What I'm curious of is if this one will explode like Red Hawk did, or if it will simply be a Haki enhanced Jet Rifle. Luffy didn't mention the "Red" addition so I'm assuming the latter.
I believe that the it's another set of attacks.
regular: gomu gomu pistol
regular with haki: buso gomu gomu pistol(has never been done/ just an example)
G2: gomu gomu jet pistol
G2 with Haki: gomu gomu red hawk(translates to pistol)
G3: gomu gomu gigant pistol
G3 with haki:gomu gomu elephant gun
whether hawk rifle has fire or not, it's still part of the same class as red hawk.
I Love You!

An internal review by the Los Angeles Police Department concluded that rogue ex-officer Christopher Dorner was justifiably fired, a lawyer said on June 5. Dorner, who authorities say boasted that police agencies had no chance of capturing him except on his terms, was killed Feb. 12, 2013 in a fierce gun battle at a mountain cabin 80 miles east of Los Angeles.
