50+: Live Better, Longer
Death Rates Drop for 5 Top Causes of Death
Oct. 10, 2012 -- Death rates dropped significantly last year for five out of the 15 leading causes of death in the U.S., according to a new CDC report.
Researchers say a major decline in three of the top five causes of death, including heart disease, cancer, and stroke, contributed to a slight decline in the rate of overall deaths in 2011.
The report also shows the death rate, which accounts for changes in the age distribution of the country, reached a record low in 2011.
But the average American's life expectancy remained the same at 78.7 years from 2010 to 2011.
Death Rates Drop for Top Causes
Researchers say the 3% decline in heart disease deaths and 2.4% drop in cancer-related deaths were especially significant because deaths from these two diseases accounted for 47% of all deaths in the U.S. in 2011.
The report shows the ranking of the leading 15 causes of death stayed relatively the same from 2010 to 2011, although kidney-related causes of death (ranked No. 8 in 2010) and influenza/pneumonia (ranked No. 9 in 2010) exchanged ranks, as indicated below.
Death rates increased for six other major causes of death.
Top 15 Causes of Death (% change from 2010 to 2011):
- Heart disease (-3%)
- Cancer (-2.4%)
- Chronic lower respiratory diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, and bronchitis (+1.2%)
- Stroke (-3.1%)
- Accidents or unintentional injuries (unchanged)
- Alzheimer's disease (-2%)
- Diabetes (+3.4%)
- Influenza and pneumonia (+4%)
- Kidney-related diseases, including nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis (-12.4%)
- Suicide (-0.8%)
- Septicemia, an infection of the blood that affects the whole body (-0.9%)
- Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis (+3.2%)
- High blood pressure or hypertension (unchanged)
- Parkinson's disease (+2.9%)
- Pneumonitis or inflammation of the lungs (+3.9%)
Researchers say the 12% drop in deaths due to kidney-related disorders should be interpreted with caution because changes in coding and classification contributed to this decrease.
Although HIV was not among the 15 leading causes of death in 2011, researchers say it remains a public health concern, especially among those 15-64 years old. The death rate for HIV decreased by 7.7% from 2010 to 2011.

Cobbler on Speed Dial
"These booties are gorgeous! Having said that, the sole is suede. Suede! I literally put them on, walked around to get a feel for the heel and when I turned them over, the bottoms were ruined. I kept the shoes because they're perfect for a garden party I'm attending, but buyer beware, you'll be needing a cobbler on speed dial for more than one wear."

Stutterer Shut-Upper Professor: The Kid's a Mouthful
Earlier this week, we told you about the case of Phillip Garber (seen in the video above), the precocious 16 year-old college student whose professor asked him not to speak in class because of his stuttering problem. Wholly predictable outrage ensued! Now, the professor is defending herself. Let's listen!
The professor, Elizabeth Snyder, tells the NYT that she's "gotten the most hateful, vile, vicious e-mails." Not from our readers, I hope! More to the point, she says that Phillip misinterpreted their conversation. And that he was kind of annoying!
"He misinterpreted this and assumed it had something to do with his stuttering; I interpreted his hand up for 75 minutes as someone unfamiliar with a college lecture format and frankly a little rude," she said. "In hindsight, I should have stopped my lecture and called on Philip because he had become so fixated on making a statement that it didn't seem to matter to him that he was interrupting my presentation."
A precocious 16 year-old who's rude and annoying? It doesn't add up.

By JASON BAILEYSun Advocate/Progress Webmaster
During this series, we've been discussing topics like file systems, files & folders, and how to format a storage device. This time, we are going to further explain formatting, and how it is done in Windows.
Before a storage device undergoes a format, it is much like unspoiled, untamed land. There are no property boundaries, no fences - no distinct separation from one area to the next. For residential or commercial use, however, the land must be divided into properties, which have clearly defined areas (i.e. "boundaries"), and are carefully set so properties do not overlap. This is done so the governing authority (city, county government, etc) knows who owns each property, and what each property is zoned for (residential, commercial, etc). The property boundaries do not change the land itself, they simply define ownership of areas.
Formatting is very similar. Before formatting is done, the storage medium is like an open expanse. Information can be stored on it, but there is no way to determine where one piece of information stops, and another starts. Like property boundaries, formatting creates a system that divides the area into smaller, more manageable pieces. Like property boundaries, formatting does not physically alter the storage area; it simply defines specific areas on the device, and how they will be used. But these areas, called clusters, are allocated to files (i.e. "documents"), not people.
You can format a storage device through "My Computer." Open up "My Computer" and then right-click the storage device you want to format. For example, to format the floppy drive, right-click "3� Floppy (A:)" and click (don't right-click) on "Format." (Note: you cannot format optical drives, like CD-ROMS and DVD-ROMS. They use file systems also, but those things are taken care of by the CD/DVD burning software).
A box should appear with various options. In nearly all cases, "Quick Format" should be selected. If you are concerned a storage device may be going bad, you may want to uncheck "Quick Format" which will instruct the computer to do a regular format. A regular format does everything a quick format does, but it also checks the entire storage area of the device, and marks any bad or problematic areas as "unusable" so that they won't be used to store important documents! On some devices, a regular format can take an hour or more to complete.
Using a label is optional. If you use a label, it will be displayed in "My Computer" when the device is inserted or plugged in to the computer.
When you're ready, hit "Start" or "OK" and the formatting process will begin. Formatting may take some time, so be patient! Do NOT remove or unplug the device during the formatting process! If you do, you will have to re-format the device.
Please take a note of caution, however, that formatting ERASES all files currently stored on the device. And because formatting is largely undo-able, any files lost in the process are gone. If you lost mission-critical files from a format, there are 3rd party programs and specialty organizations that can help you get much of your data back, but don't expect it! Once the format is complete, the device can be used to store computer files!

Author of Ed Engoron's Choclatique, Running Press, 2011
As I was planning my trip to Lisbon, Portugal next week I found that I have a stop-over in Barcelona. What could be better than an afternoon in the old chocolate capital of the world? The harbor of Barcelona was the port into which the very first shipments of cocoa from the New World arrived more than 500 years ago, making it the ideal home to the Museu de la Xocolata—Barcelona's Chocolate Museum.
The Catalan Capital is a beautiful city with a diverse culture and history and Barcelona's museums offer visitors a wide range of aesthetic experiences – in fact, they can be seen as a perfect illustration of just how beguilingly this city can be.
Two of Barcelona's most popular museums are devoted to artists—the works of Joan Miró and Pablo Picasso – the first born in the city and the second generally acknowledged as an adopted son.
The third is the Museu de la Xocolata which is housed in an outwardly unimposing but historical building. From the aroma wafting through the narrow twisted streets lets visitors know to be prepared for an idiosyncratic and glorious celebration of the world's most famous treat.
Inside the museum the history of chocolate is demonstrated from the discovery of the first cocoa beans brought back by the New World explorers, including Christopher Columbus himself, the progressive history since its origins as a spicy drink to its delight as a French sweet all the way through time to its present predominant position in the commercial world.
There are displays of machines and tools representing the chocolate maker's art as well as fantastically detailed reconstructions of many of Barcelona's most famous architectural sites – painstakingly and lovingly recreated from nothing but chocolate. There is even Snowy, an albino gorilla (from whom we named our Snowy White Chocolate) who has been meticulously constructed from white chocolate.
This "delicious" museum demonstrates chocolate's many different purposes: as a medicinal element, an aphrodisiac, a nutritional treasure and everything in between, both legend and reality. They offer different workshops for children and adults.
Save a little time to stop by the chocolate café and bar where they sell great hot chocolate, thick enough to hold a spoon on its edge in the cup. While enjoying your chocolate, swivel around on your stool and watch the students next door being put through their paces as they try to achieve master status as pasty chefs and chocolatiers.
The Museu de la Xocolata is located in the Antiguo Convento de San Agustín at Carrerr de Commerç, 36. It is a pleasant short walk from Arc de Triomf Metro station (Red Line, 1), beginning on the Passeig Lluis Companys or due east of the Metro at Juame 1 (Yellow Line, 4), just a few minutes past the Picasso Museum in the Gothic District.


text: VT1 is called the First Ventilatory Threshold. It is a marker of intensity that can be heard in a person's breathing at a point where lactate begins to accumulate in the blood. As the intensity of the exercise begins to increase, VT1 can be identified at the point where the breathing rate begins to increase. A person who is at VT1 can no longer talk comfortably while exercising. VT2 is called the Second Ventilatory Threshold. It is a higher marker of intensity that can also be heard in the person's breathing. At VT2, the lactate has quickly accumulated in the blood and the person needs to breath heavily and can no longer speak at this intensity. At this point, the exercise duration will also decrease due to the intensity level. This marker can also be called the anaerobic threshold or lactate threshold. VO2 max is the maximal consumption of oxygen. It is the maximum capacity of the body to transport and use oxygen during exercise and reflects a person's physical fitness. Measuring VO2 max is a laboratory procedure that requires equipment to measure the amount of oxygen consumed and the amount of carbon dioxide expelled. This test will take an individual to the absolute maximum exercise intensity that he or she can achieve; maximum heart rate can also be measured at this point. A deconditioned individual has a lower VO2max than someone who is conditioned. As an individual becomes more conditioned, his or her VO2 max will increase. Here is a simple way to picture these markers of exercise intensity: REST VT1 (breathing begins to increase) VT2 (out of breath, high intensity) VO2max (exercise needs to conclude due to exhaustion) A sedentary person will reach VT1, VT2 and VO2max at a much lower intensity of exercise than a more physically active person. For example, an extremely deconditioned person may reach his or her VT1 just while walking. Conversely, a more conditioned person will reach these markers at a higher intensity of exercise. For example, he or she may reach VT1 at a running speed of 6 miles per hour.

Notice: Effective Fall to Late 2011, ACPE and NABP are implementing a new electronic monitoring
system for statements of credit for programs attended by Pharmacists and Pharmacy
Technicians. This new program eliminates the need for paper and emailed statements
of credit. You will be asked for your e-Profile ID and your date of birth when registering
for CPE programs come this fall.
How CPE Monitor Works
Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians will receive a unique identification number (ID)
after setting up their e-Profile with NABP (see How to Register for CPE Monitor).
Beginning in the latter part of 2011, pharmacist and pharmacy technician participants
will provide their NABP e-Profile ID and date of birth (in MMDD format) to the ACPE-accredited
provider when they register for a CPE activity or submit a request for credit. It
will be the responsibility of the pharmacist or pharmacy technician to provide the
correct information [i.e. ID and DOB (in MMDD format)] in order to receive credit
for participating in a CPE activity.
The CPE Monitor system will direct electronic data from ACPE-accredited providers
to ACPE and then to NABP, ensuring that CPE credit is officially verified by the providers.
Once information is received by NABP, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians will be
able to log in to access information about their completed CPE activities.
How to Register for CPE Monitor
Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are asked obtain their NABP e-Profile ID now
at www.MyCPEmonitor.net to ensure their e-Profile is properly setup prior to implementation of CPE Monitor.
In the latter part of 2011, the e-Profile ID will be required to receive credit for
any ACPE-accredited CPE activities.
Set up your NABP e-Profile to obtain your ID

my new love
"For $39.99 these shoes are a steal! I worked in them for 8 hours on ceramic tile then went shopping and my feet were still very happy. They fit true to size but are definitely for ladies with narrow feet. I have small ankles and the straps fit perfectly. Great quality and super sexy - I even received compliments from my boss. Highly recommend."

great looking shoe
"This shoe runs small. I did size up a half and the fit was perfect. The ankle strap is wide and stiff, making the shoe less comfortable. Maybe with wear it would become flexible and soften the edges. The heel is not that high, making the shoe easy to walk in."

Disclaimer: Danielle Staub did not actually write this post. But, as avid fans of the show, we figured we might have a little insight into her own take on the show. The views expressed here are not those of Crushable, but rather are simply an imagining of what Danielle might have to say.
It's still Christmas in Jersey! The ladies celebrate the same old-fashioned way we all do: with family, food, presents… plus miniature Mercedes for the single-digit-aged set, basement recording studios, Rolex watches on the tree, and a healthy heaping of guilt from Teresa! But far be it for me to judge the way they choose to spend "Jesus' birthday" (lucky for us, Melissa reminded us all that Christmas is Jesus' birthday… just in case anyone forgot); let's get Danielle Staub's take on the matter!

1. Consolidate the existing student loans
2. Use the extra cash every month to pay off other higher interest debt sooner
We apply the amount of payment savings you choose to the nonstudent loan debt with the highest rate. When that balance is paid in full, the balance with the next highest rate will be paid down. This continues until you have rolled through all of the balances and the non-student loan debt is paid in full. Click the "View Report" button for a detailed look at the results.

Even after a century, relatively little is known about these objects; however, a number of interpretations are valid. The following are two elucidatory readings by different curators at the National Gallery of Australia.
'These chairs were made by the men of the Aboriginal fishing community of Taree in northern New South Wales. They are rumoured to be based on the design of an English verandah chair and this is the wonderful result of the artisan's interpretation of the design using local materials. The Taree fishermen were very talented carpenters. They made their own boats and also sets of verandah furniture for the local farmers for extra cash when the fish weren't biting. These sets usually included two chairs and a sofa. The only other set of which we are aware is in the collection of the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney, and is painted black.'
(Jim Logan, Everyday Art: Australian Folk Art, 1998, p. 17)
The scant information on the chairs' provenance reveals that they belonged to a Mr McInnes from the Dunmore Estate at Patterson, approximately 120 km to the south-west of Taree. This indicates the following owner of the property bought the chairs from the estate, but later possibly sold them to a merchant.
Near Taree, Purfleet Aboriginal Reserve was officially established in 1900 when the Aborigines Protection Board obtained control over 18 acres of land two miles from the centre of Taree.

Skip to comments.IRS Warns Employers: Do Not Try to Avoid ObamaCare Insurance Mandate
Posted on 01/10/2013 6:51:52 AM PST by Olog-hai
The Internal Revenue Service warned employers in a new regulatory proposal not to come up with clever schemes to avoid Obamacares employer health insurance mandate.
The IRS said it would soon issue anti-abuse rules to discourage employers from taking advantage of any regulatory loopholes.
The Treasury Department and the IRS are aware of various structures being considered under which employers might use temporary staffing agencies (or other staffing agencies)
to evade application of section 4980H [the employer insurance mandate], the IRS said in a proposed regulatory announcement issued December 28.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnsnews.com ...
"Ve have vays of makink you talk"
Anyone question now why the idiot in our White House has recently armed all federal agents with an enormous amounts of weapons and ammo? Has anyone now any questions as to why they needed all those weapons and ammunition?
They know there'll be some big problems pretty soon with the citizens of this country.
This is far beyond a conspiracy.
Huh! Thanks for the tip! Of course there might be a bunch of these agencies that have 49 employees apiece...
Another division of Obama's "Brown Shirts" Seig Heil!!
hey they told us in school this exact sentence "tax evasion is illegal, tax avoidance is legal", so is the IRS putting the kabosh on tax planning?
Directive 10-289
You mean they left a 'loophole' in their obambacare law?
Answer: They are just blowing smoke and trying to scare companies into compliance. If a creative tax accountant uses a loophole, then the IRS has the option to challenge it on a case by case basis in court.
I guess they had to pass the law to see where the loopholes were in it.
Thus, you can forget the specific words of the statute, it says whatever the IRS says it says.
"IRS Warns Employers: Do Not Try to Avoid ObamaCare Insurance Mandate"
Addendum: "Do not even THINK about trying to avoid the ObamaCare Insurance Mandate"
Addendum: "We will tell you what 'avoid' and 'try' means
Right, so there is no choice, as Obama promised.
And the government beast continues to grow, and kill productive jobs.
War is coming. We will not survive. Some of our kids might.
Now this is a new rule I hadn't heard of. We have great insurance through my husband's company and it's always been the company pays 3/4, we pay 1/4. That costs is around $250-300 per month. We're okay with the no more than 9.5% of salary but my husband's one of the higher paid employees, but what about the employees at the bottom of the totem pole. The guy making $10 an hour, that policy is going to be more than 9.5% of his pay...so what will the company do, make employees pay for insurance based on their salary...or lower their policy costs by buying crummy insurance that won't be more than 9.5% of the $10 an hour worker?
If we do not obey this law, nor adhere to any of its rules, the country does not have enough IRS and other federal agents to round us up, nor courts to try us, nor juries to find us guilty.
A handful of states might try to use force to bring their residents into compliance, e.g. New York, Massachusetts, California, New Jersey or Maryland, but few others have politicians who would cross the line.
While the Administration talks about minting trillion dollar coins to get around the debt ceiling.
I don't understand the purpose of that requirement, either. It seems like it really would have the effect of lowering the quality of health care insurance for lower income individuals. Also, aren't there mandates in Obamacare speaking to what must be covered in an "acceptable policy?" If that's the case, that would most likely increase the price of lower cost insurance policies.
The oth question I have is, what happens if your current policy cost exceeds 9.5 percent of your wages? Is the employer required to buy a cheaper policy for you? The language stated is "...must not exceed 9.5 percent..."
or lower their salaries so the ins will be 9.5%
People in business can only try to make a profit given the totality of the incentives and regulations they are forced to successfully navigate.
If you punish an employer where the margin on low skilled employees between their pay and their productivity is very low, when government mandates that full time employees must have an expensive fringe benefit, but allows part time employees to escape the mandate, guess what? Employees at the lower end of the skills and productivity matrix are going to be part timers.
So yet another Blue model breaks down: all the social justice activists who thought that ObamaCare was going to bring out the magic unicorns all traversing the golden rainbow while defecating Skittles and Arizona Tea are going to be shocked to find out that instead of workers getting a more easy life with free health care, the full time job is going to disappear.
Instead of one full time job and a 40 hour week, workers at every level up to valuable management and those with high skills (like programmers and doctors) are going to work two part time jobs and have a 50 hour week, and no benefits.
The instant this new reality dawns on the low-information voters, they are going still blame greedy insurance companies! And as sure as the sun rises, you know that community activists and the social justice crowd are going to find a way to explain (er, lie) this reality to their advantage. And so the social struggle for the soul of the "worker" continues. Sadly, economic reality is the first thing to be cast aside.
Well, that should take care of the small businesses. NEXT - the peoples' freedom.
An old but ever so topical FR thread.
This is one case where it is possible for IRS to go to the guy with the brown shirt, arrest him, put him on trial, then flense him, 'cause all the way at the top there's one employer ~ Ol'Bama hissef!!!
I am sure the rule writer for this one will disappear shortly.
this is getting entertaining. Does the dear leader really think that he can now tell employers how many hours he can relegate to his employees??
haah!!!!! about to pop some popcorn if anyone wants some.
For my part, my startup will never have 50 employees as long as ObamaCare is in effect. I'll offshore and outsource and set up related businesses somewhere else to avoid the limit.
ObamaCare is an affront the Constitution. The very idea that a person can be forced by government to buy something is anathema to the Declaration of Independence and especially to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness", which the last time I checked is still the law of the land, if not in legal reality then at least as a timeless principle from the Creator.
Angry backlash is coming.
A company can always avoid the mandates by going out of business.
Right, they just don't seem to get that they can not force compliance with their scheme if the people are against it. Are they going to force me to keep my business open and not fire everyone?
Dem is fightin' words.
Cutting your employee to 28 hrs. is now a "clever scheme" apparently.
So in order to keep the Gestapo from being suspicious, instead of having 49 employees, businesses can keep it down to 46 or 47. Now that's going to really help the unemployment rate.
Going out of business would ultimately be cheaper still. Liberal rhetoric doesn't work too well on empty stomachs.
Tears....America used to be so wonderful. Can't we get that back somehow?
More tears...
This needs to be renamed the Lawyers Full Empl;oyment regulation. Just about every business out there is going to be at the pointy end of this thing.
LOL -- That Is Awesome.
'tis true - the next thought I had was that two side-by-side fast food joints would be wise to collaborate: use the same employees between them and coordinate schedules to give them all 20 hours a week at each separate business location... everybody wins.
And about that Boehner, do you recall "one" single Dem who didn't want Boehner as Speaker?
Reid has been silent also. Silence from the left speaks volumes about Boehner.
I hadn't thought of that one :)
But it's a real problem waiting to happen. I imagine they could buy a couple different types of policies, crummy ones, not so crummy ones, and good ones...then the more you make the better insurance you could afford.
Do I really believe the ACLU will sit quietly by and watch the $10 an hour employee get bad insurance when working at the same company of the higher paid employee who has a decent plan...that's a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Like I said, we've always paid around $300 per month the company picks up the $900, the plan costs $1200 per month total. I think they do offer other options, but they all look to be around the same cost. The reason our cost has stayed pretty stable for the last few years, is each year deductibles edge up, certain benefits, physical therapy, for instance, is cut back, and out of pockets are more.
But an employee making $10 a hour makes approx. $21,000. 9.5% of that is $1995 per year, or around $166 per month, which would make the total cost of the policy $646 per month (if we're working on the assumption that employee pays 1/4, company pays 3/4.) Wonder what kind of group insurance you get for $646 per month? I'm sure you can get a policy for that, I just imagine they'd have large deductibles and out of pocket expense.
It truly is, and I see this announcement by the IRS as the beginning of the unraveling.
The fact is that nobody likes this bill, especially now that "low information" voters are finding out what it means to them.
The Supreme Court invalidated the portion of the law that would have served to coerce the states into creating exchanges. Some thirty states have opted out, and the law did not provide funding for a federal exchange.
Oh, and we have the House.
I don't think a federal exchange is even going to happen, and then there will be no mechanism by which the poor will be subsidized to buy a policy.
The Democrats in the Senate then, are placed between a rock and hard place. I think as 2014 approaches we can get them to vote to rescind. It will be suicide if they don't, the way this thing is going.
LOL!! thanks for the chuckle

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
seeing as there is now a forum for HnH on mmorpg, i figured i would make a thread based solely around my own personal stumblings as a newb in HnH..
first and for most.. dont let the graphics fool you the game while 2d does have some pretty impressive game play if you stick to it. ( i have only been playing it about 2 weeks or so now maybe 3) as well as a pretty confusing crafting system ..
while this is a heavy crafting based MMO... i would never class it as a crafter/solo'er mmo... this game on the surface seems all bright and rosey... but under neath the 2d crafting aspect lies the actual meat of the game. which is FFA PVP.. there is some looting but i dont know if i would call it FFApvp/loot (unless you are stupid and let someone jack your keys to your base... i kinda did that Q.Q)
trust no one you meet in the game period.. unless you brought them in your self. simply because people make alts to explore unhindered and find unsuspecting neive people to "rape".. anywhere at any time a person can and will kill you just because they can. while most killers are "grouped" with a select town/village (guild system) and generally dont waste their time leaving scent (summonable/trackable items left at crimes) any high enough level player can kill you if they have rage unlocked and murder (i my self was killed not even a week in to playing as i went afk with my gate open and a bandit killed me for lulz)
so its best to either join an existing village (though thats not always safe) or get a group of friends to play the game with you (it takes quite awhile to get a defendable place setup).
while all that sounds horrible for most crafters dispite the kill on sight style of play the game is pretty enjoyable.. if abit annoying with server lag (yes server is laggy as all hell but im told its not an A-typical standard MMO dedicated server O_O)
but if you get past that its can be fun. i spend several days at a time making my friend pissed at me by over loading/working her with new unbaked breads and other items i have farmed up from my sizable farm ROFL or spend several hours fishing (again much to her joy... lulz)
the crafting system is more advanced then typical games.. instead of learning a skill and unlocking every recipe linked to it. you instead have to discover it.. example: just learning farming does not allow you to farm.. first you need farming skill, then you have to trade other players for farming seeds (or steal them/loot them ect.. or find a wild weed that spawns at random for random seed types) after that you can plant it and (several hours/days later) harvest it and unlock recipes for that.
learn farming, and baking then farm some wheat and you discover flour (2 wheat seeds= 1 flour) make flour and discover bread dough and cakes ect.. as you go. sooo its enjoyable in that aspect. (some people will find it annoying having to discover things like water to make bread dough or whatever.. but its alittle more advanced then other crafting systems in mmos)
while i do find it annoying have to wait actual days for crops to be ready (Stupid hemp ugh i need my fibers for linen) it gives that realistic element alot of games lack right now, it feels more immersive i guess you could say..
i will admit the game is not for everyone, there are quite a few asshats in the game who go out of their way to mess with anyone they meet... but saying that, that kinda is par for the course now days anyway. so its not that unusual, there are a few nice people but again you really cant trust anyone people can and will screw you over if they want what you have, though many larger village groups can and do actively trade resources to people (takes abit to get a trader rep with the game community to where they trust you in trading) a large majority tend to play the loner hermit hiding away in the mountains or caves instead of getting mixed up with the political junk that plagues PVP set games..
all in all, the game is pretty enjoyable if you have the gonads to stick to it even after you are killed ( i have died todate 2 times.. 1 to bandit and 1 to a mother @#$@#$ bear that spawned on top of me while my client was having issues)
i would suggest people read the wiki alot before doing anything major.. as well as check out the help forums on their website for ideas and pointers on staying alive..
all in all the game is not designed for instant gratifacation.. you do have to work hard to get to the end game style gear (there is no end to the game its minecraft on crack really.. by end game i mean, the high quality gear/weapons and stats players get up to on a toon that is a year old or more)
in lines of gear... one can not expect to win every battle just because they have pure iron gear on, the person they are fighting may have higher player stats or skill stats... or their gear may be higher quality (quality effects bonuses and stats of items.. armor gets more durablity and better passive stats the better quality it is) so a noob can actually kill a year old vet if they play it right (though i would assume that is super rare given the work people put in their toons)
I can't believe it took MMORPG so long to list this game. It's awesome... Just wish it wasn't in 2d. To be honest the even the 2d graphics suck, but like Dwarf Fortess the gameplay is awesome.
Never trust a screenshot or a youtube video without a version stamp!

oh i dont know.. while 2d is dated.. i grew up on 6bit 1/2D so i guess im just used to it.. i ran across HnH researching salem and figured id try it, as salem is using similar game mechanics.
not sure why MMORPG lists it as a browser game.. when its a downloaded client (java) game o-o i wouldnt really call that a browser but owell..
pretty amazing that it has a similar story like minecraft.. only it was 2 collage guys who wrote HnH instead of just 1 guy lol
It's an awesome game when you can play it, shame about the community and repeat PK'ing for no reason. Working up my skills only to lose them in 1 day of repeat random pking isn't really my idea of fun.

ya i know what you mean, my friend had played 2days i was on day 4 when i went afk and got 1hit killed by a bandit. 1500 dmg 1 hit is kinda sick but thats what you hit when people play since day 1 i guess.
best thing to do is explore the world and find an area in the middle of no where far away from any major (active) villages or towns.
the only nice thing is you get most of your LP back when you die/are killed but the % is based on your character sliders. traditional gives more LP but narfs your total learning gain.. where change lowers ur % you get back but boosts ur lp gain
im still trying to actually unlock the ability to mine lolol so i keep being pariniod im going to get killed and have to start all over again at 10 str ><"
dont waste your time.
in the beginning the progress is nice and perfect, but later its pure grind.
lolol but isnt pure grind par for the course in every game??
MO and dfo both have pure grind for end game.. alot of HNH has no real max cap that i have noticed. its all based on your total skill level, base player atts and the quality of the items you are using.. so ofcourse you grind up skill as there is no level in HnH o-o.. it sucks sure being killed and basicly starting over again.. but then again some people may like that others wont. to each their own
About time they got this game on here. Who really expects MMORPG.com to keep up on anythign that isn't AAA anymore though? THye can't be bothered to review good games. They don't pay you enough for smashing reviews.
"I am not in a server with Gankers...THEY ARE IN A SERVER WITH ME!!!"
It was a fun game for a few weeks for me, living like a hermit and fighting for my survival. Eventuelly, the lack of any updates from the developers is what made me feel like it is pointless to continue.
I rather wait for their next project, Salem, to come out in beta.
well from what i have read on the their offical forums, development of HnH is on hold while the game devs work on salem. so after salem launches they should return to upgrade/update HnH. there was also rumors of the dev's bringing ideas from salem to HnH.. so possible game changes or content updates.
i spend days as a hermit lol its boring but safest that i know of. as i dont have to worry about someone leaving a crime scent and getting caught in the crossfire lol.
I miss the days of world 3 H&H, oh well. Looking forward to Salem now.
In my opinion the studying system made this game incredibly boring.
Not to mention the servers lag for both me ( EU ) and for my friend ( US ) while we both have high end internet connections.
It's probably still worth playing, but not until the developers start supporting/updating it again.
ya i get lag alot, rubber banding and such. i still play it every few days, only because... im limited on what i can actually do as my stats are not high enough to do what i want/need to do (aka mine) and gathering res for items in working on takes hours of real time to achive lol
but i dont think it really matters what speed your net connection is, you will lag alot. i think it has something to do with their actual server system.. alot of the stuff rambled off about HnH is that its running on a desktop server from a dev's house.. @_@ which is find rather scary... simply because i cant see this game running like a minecraft server or counterstrike server.
though the thing that urks me is there is no real ingame econ.. i cant actually trade with anyone, because my quality of items is not Q50-200 on top of that i cant buy items from players because my skills are not high enough to find mussels on the game world and get the 1% chance of A pearl out of them to trade for items (when most players expect 10+ pearls for 1 item of trade.. ) so in that regard i kinda of hate HnH's economy.. new players are pretty much @$@# over by the old time players.. as they cant trade their noob items for stuff they need, like wrought iron for brick walls (that everyone tells you to build magically) or milk for cheese or animals.. ect..
IMO this game really needs an NPC/noob town that people can trade their items at to atleast make hermiting or starting out alittle bit easier (not handing it to them on a plate, but taking a Q 20 chicken for example and selling it to an npc/ player in for a Q5-20 bar of iron or steel or whatever) thats the biggest killer for me in this game, i have no real means of gaining the items i need without spending upwards of 2yrs of playing the game to get my skills up to a point where i can MAYBE make an item worth trading
Pretty cool summary of the game, but regarding trading, its not as hard as you make it out to be, and the last thing the game needs is npc handing out iron
Muscles only need a perception * exploration of about 760 (eg. 19*40) to see them, which isnt hard to get in a couple of days, week, 2 weeks, depending on how long you play for
also some villages will take fresh bears, something eveyone can get (hunt from boat), flotsams, other curios in bulk, you will however need a village idol, which will require you to kill deer, but with 45 mm and a q20 sling this can be done early on in game also
and iron isnt as hard to find as people make out either, when world 6 started i had iron in the 1st 5 days, and found lvl2 iron, although wasnt going to be mining that for a while.
Kill your bear, make bear cloak and tali for str bonus, eat a ton of bear meat for str fep's and then just dig away at sides of caves untill you find ore
Raise exploration for better curio finding = more lp gained, eat pumpkin pies at start for perception, blueberries and blueberrie pies to raise intel so you can study more at once
Also raise survival so your foragebles will be better Q and the animals you skin and butcher will have better q items. which = better Q leather and meats (higher feps)
Read the tamming thread and tame your own cows for the milk for cheese, feed wild cows clovers and milk them if your not up for tamming yet
granted it does have a slightly high learning curve, but once you get the swing of it, things dont take long to get going
and yea, Trust no one!!!!
ya thanks for that, though i didnt mean an NPC that is handing out resources, but like a means to buy/sell items you dont need for lowest quality items.
you take a Q 30-60 seeds or crop.. and sell it to and npc and the best you can get is Q01-10 items so it wont be PVP resources but survivial items. you can trade for wrought iron for brick walls. the main thing id be after, as i have no hope in getting an idol on my own. rofl my friends all quit as the game was "boring" so building an idol is beyond me now but thats my own fault/problem.

I asked them if I could, they gave me the job.
I had a blast with this game, and I'm really looking forward to its spiritual successor.

HnH is an awesome game, i've played two worlds now as a hermit and managed all aspects of game play including a village idol all on my own. I admit its harder and takes longer to raise Q, find good rescourses and hold your own in the game but it is possible and for me, preferable.
Once you have established your village the game becomes easier in that you are able to trade with the bigger factions for the higher quality goods, or any goods/materials you need.
The only real downside to hnh is the lag which becomes increasingly worse as the world progresses, atm its virtualy unplayable - unless your a die-hard fan like myself.

Detroit Lions receiver Calvin Johnson said he suffered nerve damage from two big hits in a September loss to the Minnesota Vikings that's made it tough for him to grip the football.
Johnson, who missed practice all of last week and hasn't practiced this week because of a lingering knee injury, said the nerve problems have subsided though he's still dealing with some aftereffects.
"Taking those hits, they're real violent," Johnson said. "They definitely have a lot of lingering impact on whether it be your neck or your head in (Jahvid Best's) case. It can do a lot of stuff."
GAME MATCHUP: Lions-Vikings
Johnson dropped a touchdown pass late in the first half of the Lions' 20-13 loss to the Vikings at Ford Field when safety Harrison Smith hit him in the sternum with his right shoulder. In the fourth quarter, Johnson took a helmet-to-helmet hit from linebacker Chad Greenway that knocked him temporarily out of the game.
Johnson said he suffered a concussion from the Greenway hit, though Lions coach Jim Schwartz said for the second time today that wasn't the case.
Greenway was fined $21,000 for the hit.
The Lions, who travel to Minnesota this Sunday, had a bye week after the Vikings loss, but Johnson dropped at least three passes over the next three games.
He had a touchdown pass glance off his fingers in an Oct. 28 win over the Seahawks, dropped a crossing route that hit him square in the hands in a Monday night loss to the Bears, and in last week's win at Jacksonville, Johnson was tackled at the 1-yard line after a 38-yard second-quarter gain when he said he couldn't get a good enough grip on the ball to reach it across the goal line.
While some wonder if the hits by Smith and Greenway have made Johnson reluctant to go across the middle, Johnson said that isn't the case.
"No, actually had some nerve damage so that was kind of messing up my grip a little bit," he said. "Not to blame it on that, but I think that the concussion maybe could have had something to do with some of that damage I had going on."
Johnson said the nerve injury was like a stinger where he had shooting pain down his arm.
Asked if it's still affecting him now, Johnson said, "It's definitely coming back, feeling a lot better, but it's the middle of the season."
Lions coach Jim Schwartz said the nerve damage has not been a contributing factor to the knee injury that's limited Johnson the last 2 1/2 weeks.
Against the Jaguars, Johnson said he only ran select routes because he couldn't push off his sore left knee without pain. He took painkillers before the game and finished with a team-high seven catches for 129 yards.
"He's obviously been effective regardless," Schwartz said. "He's had a bunch of different things come up this year, particularly his knees, but he goes out and affects the game the way that he does. That's no different than Adrian Peterson coming off an ACL and still finding a way to be effective. Great players can do that."
Lions offensive coordinator Scott Linehan said Johnson's injury didn't limit his playcalling last against the Jaguars. Johnson said he spent the past few days in the weight room working the muscles around his knee, and that he's "definitely feeling better" now than he was a week ago.
"Calvin at any percent that he is on the field is a bonus for me or anybody else," Linehan said. "It benefits us all."

Younger viewers — and those with short memories — may be surprised to discover that Breaking Bad's enormously talented, multiple Emmy-winner Bryan Cranston was once better known for his work in sitcoms, first in a recurring role in Seinfeld and then as the dad in Malcolm in the Middle. He returns to those comedy roots tonight in an episode that casts him as Ted's former boss — and instantly provides a compelling reason to watch a series that has otherwise seemed to be running on fumes. The show has landed one of our most gifted actors. Let's hope it makes proper use of him.

Fox, 8 ET/PT
You get two new episodes of Bones this week, on two days. The first comes tonight, with an outing starring Nora Dunn as a rival author feuding with Brennan. The second arrives Friday, when the show moves to its new time slot. The move isn't particularly popular with fans, but they shouldn't panic just yet. Bones has proven its ability to succeed in a number of tough slots, and that kind of resilience usually serves a show well.
American Experience: JFK
PBS, 9 ET/PT (times may vary)
If you watch only one special timed to the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, it should probably be this two-part, four-hour offering from American Experience, simply because it is from American Experience. Provenance matters.

In a recent discussion with my husband, who is From Away, I learned that only New Englanders call this vaguely Italian hodgepodge by a Chinese name. To most Americans it's simply Macaroni and Beef, though oddly, midwesterners call it Johnny Marzetti. By any name, it's a meal that satisfies our deepest human need for protein, starch, and salt all mixed up in a bowl. (I'm reminded of my father-in-law, on his most recent visit to Maine, attempting in vain to order Chili Size, a similar slop with a Tex-Mex twist that's revered throughout the southwest.)
Instead of ground beef, this healthier vegan version of American Chop Suey uses crumbled tempeh (use something like Morningstar Farms Veggie Crumbles if you prefer) and an assortment of chopped vegetables. Even if you can eat gluten, try quinoa pasta here; sturdier than rice or wheat, it adds even more protein to this classic stick-to-your-ribs dish.
American Chop Veggie
Vegan Marzetti
Macaroni and Tempeh
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 large carrot, diced
8 ounces tempeh
1½ cups sliced mushrooms
2 tablespoons vegan worcestershire sauce or tamari (wheat-free, if necessary)
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper
28-ounce can roasted diced tomatoes
8 ounces pasta (any small shape)
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional)
In a large skillet, warm oil over medium heat. Sauté onion 4-5 minutes, until edges begin to brown. Add garlic and sauté another 2 minutes. Add bell pepper and carrot and sauté an additional 4-5 minutes, until vegetables begin to soften.
Crumble tempeh into bite-sized pieces over skillet. Add mushrooms, worcestershire sauce or tamari, thyme, oregano, basil, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to mix well. Sauté 3 minutes, until mushrooms are soft. Add diced tomatoes and their liquid. Stir and reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 15 minutes.
Cook pasta according to package directions. When pasta is al dente, drain and toss with vegetable mixture. Stir in nutritional yeast.Serves 6.

Application Deadlines
Because M.M.S. students select their course work from among the electives offered to M.B.A. and other Marshall graduate students, it is suggested that applications be submitted in time to complete processing before early registration for the semester in which the applicant would like to begin his or her program.
To qualify for early registration, a complete* application must be submitted no later than:
The final deadlines for consideration of a complete* application are:
* A "complete" application includes an online application with all required fields filled in, receipt of all required official test scores and official transcripts, and payment of the application fee (if applicable). Attaching unofficial copies of documents to the application allows the admission committee to reach a conditional decision, but an offer of admission cannot be made until all official documents have been received and prior degrees have been verified.

The honeymoon period would well and truly be over for Australia head coach Ewen McKenzie should his side lose to Argentina in Perth.
The honeymoon period would well and truly be over for Australia head coach Ewen McKenzie should the Wallabies lose to Argentina in Perth on Saturday.
Three defeats from three has not been what the doctor ordered since the Australian Rugby Union parted company with Robbie Deans. And with physically testing games against the Pumas and South Africa to come, the worst case scenario doesn't look beyond the realms of possibility.
Credit to Deans for not stirring the pot.
So let us look at the problem areas…where does one begin? The Wallabies were outmuscled by the Springboks and frighteningly so last Saturday, with semblances of the third Lions Test when they received many punches to the midriff before the knockout blows followed in the second-half.
Sekope Kepu was dominated by Tendai Mtawarira but the finger of blame cannot be pointed at just one man. The sheer size of the Springbok pack such as Bismarck du Plessis, Flip van der Merwe, Willem Alberts and Duane Vermeulen against the lighter Wallabies made for a men against boys international scenario.
Then there was the aftermath and a point that Michael Lynagh stressed on television that he was upset with James O'Connor laughing with South African opponents immediately after the final whistle. His words were that a defeat like that should hurt and it didn't look like it did. Lynagh had a point. Problems off the field have been an unwanted sideshow for Deans and now McKenzie and a change such as Will Genia being axed might ruffle the feathers.
It would be a brave person to back Australia to win in South Africa though so this week's match at Patersons Stadium has so much riding on it for the still pointless Wallabies.
Argentina meanwhile will have taken plenty of confidence from the game in Hamilton and could not have asked for a better time to attempt their first win against Australia since 1997. They gave New Zealand a real contest and went toe-to-toe with them psychically – in fact Juan Figallo was a monster while the locks proved they can cope without Patricio Albacete.
Nicolas Sanchez showed his worth at fly-half and the return of Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe lifted the side, with line-outs arguably their only highlighted point of concern. Santiago Phelan seems to have addressed that as Eusebio Guiñaz finds himself on the bench.
Subsequently, 4/1 underdogs is too high in our opinion for the Pumas as we feel that Lobbe and company could pounce on these wounded Wallabies this weekend. Are we alone?
Ones to watch:
For Australia: There are shoes to fill and there are shoes to fill. Nic White must step into Will Genia's. They are different players and McKenzie will surely have told White to play his Brumbies way, which has proved successful in 2013 due to his decision making and solid touch-finders. Forming a partnership with Quade Cooper at such short notice could be an issue though, especially if like last week their pack is on the back foot.
For Argentina: The injury to Gonzalo Camacho was of course a blow but calling in someone of Juan Imhoff's class has definitely cushioned matters. Imhoff is an outstanding wing as we saw in the Top 14, Heineken Cup and also as we've seen on the international stage. Should Sanchez, Felipe Contepomi and Gonzalo Tiesi create, then Imhoff will finish nine times out of ten. One eye will also be kept on hooker Creevy, who is a hefty unit.
Head-to-head: The Wallabies' new captain Ben Mowen goes up against Juan Manuel Leguizamón. The leadership role could be seen as a coming of age for Brumbies back-row Mowen after he was left out of the international mix for so long. Of course he would have preferred getting the captaincy in different circumstances, but with James Horwill and Will Genia not starting he must stand up and lead. His calls will be under close scrutiny. Leguizamón meanwhile comes off a solid try-scoring performance against New Zealand at Waikato Stadium and loves an open game. It should be a good contest to watch.
Previous results:
2012: Australia won 25-19 in Rosario
2012: Australia won 23-19 on Gold Coast
2003: Australia won 24-8 in Sydney
2002: Australia won 17-6 in Buenos Aires
2000: Australia won 32-25 in Canberra
2000: Australia won 53-6 in Brisbane
Prediction: Australia to respond or fall deeper into the well? We think the latter. Pumas by 2!

Australia: 15 Israel Folau, 14 James O'Connor, 13 Adam-Ashley Cooper, 12 Christian Lealiifano, 11 Nick Cummins, 10 Quade Cooper, 9 Nic White, 8 Ben Mowen (c), 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Scott Fardy, 5 Kane Douglas, 4 Rob Simmons, 3 Ben Alexander, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 James Slipper.

Marginalizing Risk
Steven L. Schwarcz
Duke University School of Law
May 31, 2012
Washington University Law Review, Vol. 89, No. 3, 2012
A major focus of finance is reducing risk on investments, a goal commonly achieved by dispersing the risk among numerous investors. Sometimes, however, risk dispersion can cause investors to underestimate and under-protect against risk. Risk can even be so widely dispersed that rational investors individually lack the incentive to monitor it. This Article examines the market failures resulting from risk dispersion and analyzes when government regulation may be necessary or appropriate to limit these market failures. The Article also examines how such regulation should be designed, including the extent to which it should limit risk dispersion in the first instance.

Wish they fit !
"I love these shoes, but I ordered my normal size 6 and they were too small. I have tons of other madden girl shoes in a size 6 but these ones were bending my toes up. I wonder if they would have fit in a 6.5 but these were the last ones on sale boo hoo !!! very pretty shoes though !"

"These shoes are SO pretty. The little bit of bling on the heel really gives this pump something extra. I bought these shoes for my engagement photoshoot, and I was slightly dying in them. I wore my flip flops to walk and would put these pumps on right before the picture was taken. 5 stars for aesthetics, 3 stars for comfort...for an average 4 star rating. I recommend these shoes especially for the price!"

Wow. I expected more...
"I ordered both the black and fuchsia pairs... it was unbelievable how differently each pair fit! The black ones fit beautifully in every way. The fuchsia ones were so narrow and painful! I wanted them so badly to wear with my wedding dress and honestly wanted to cry when they didn't work. I even ordered a size larger, a 6.5 instead of my normal 5.5, and it was still awful. Sorry, Madden, you really ruined my day with.this disappointment."

Great Shoes!
"The shoes are fabulous! I'm not used to wearing heels, but I think these will be really comfy - I've worn them for short periods in the house to break them in, but looking forward to wearing them for Easter. A little long - if I got another pair I would order a half-size smaller. But some heel pads will keep them from slipping. I'm hoping to find a pair in purple!"

"Ordered these in red online because they were not available in the store. They are very comfortable and the color is beautiful. I ordered a 7.5 but should have gotten a 7 because they run a little long, but I have narrow heels. So I had to return them but I will definitely order again in a smaller size."

How it Fits (based on width B)
Comments: I LOVE these sneakers! I've tried many and these are by far my favorites! I've put over 500 miles on them in a few short months (marathon training followed by a marathon) and they still feel great! Perfect for everything from 5K's to marathons.
From: Shannon, NY, USA. October 7th 2014
Comments: I originally ordered a pair of clearance Asics that turned out to be too small, despite my having worn that brand for years. As an exchange, I decided on these. I'd been toying with the idea of trying Brooks for awhile, even though I don't over-pronate. Well, I love them. The are roomy without slipping, and they have great stability for longer runs. The cushion is perfect - comfortable but not squishy. And this color is great...I know it's vain, but the poor color choices were what kept me from buying Brooks for my last pair. I'm very happy with my purchase.
