A little bit of history was created on Nov. 7 in Castle Dale as Emery County Recreation sponsored the First Annual Pumpkin Chuckin' Festival. A small but excited crowd watched the main event which was smashing pumpkins. A good use for the discarded Halloween pumpkins from October.
Chris Bernard and Brian Jewkes designed and built a trebuchet to launch pumpkins, and with their crew of Bryan and Joey Bernard put on quite a show. What in the world is a trebuchet, and why in the world would anyone want to build one?
A trebuchet is a medieval siege engine with a sling attached to a long wooden arm for hurling large stones. Now that we've given the official definition, we can move on to the advanced engineering involved in Chris and Brian's trebuchet.
No wood, welded tube piping, cable sling, ball bearings on the fulcrum, 15 ton winch to arm it, ratchet release, six foot upper arm, 600 pounds of counter weight, and on and on too much science. Father and observer Valynn Bernard said, "All I understand is that baby can chuck a pumpkin, to be exact, how about 762 feet. For you sports fans out there, that's more than two and a half football fields, and those of us more into food, you're looking at lining up 1,524 hot dogs topped however you like.
"Why build it? I haven't the slightest idea, and to find the answer you'll have to drag Chris and Brian out of the small, probably padded, rooms Joy Manufacturing keeps them safely in, to figure it out.
A few possible answers, like, because it was there, to go where no man has gone before, I had tons of steel lying around, a welder, and six months with nothing to do, all come to mind. Bottom line is their machine can launch a 10 pound pumpkin a very long ways.
"Here's a good reference for just how awesome the trebuchet is they built. Every year there is a pumpkin launching contest in Moab, with thousands of spectators attending, and dozens of contestants. The winners over the years have never launched one single pumpkin more than 400 feet. It sounds like these homegrown boys are pretty good.
"In addition to the pumpkin chuckin', GayLee Jeffs and Tab Weihing, from Emery County Recreation, had some other fun activities for those who came to watch pumpkins fly. There was a candy corn toss, and pumpkin carving, however, the most entertaining was the kids and adults pumpkin seed spitting contest. Winners names are being withheld to protect the innocent, but it was hilarious.
"County Commissioner, Laurie Pitchforth, gave a heartfelt thanks to all who came out to kick off Emery County's Pumpkin Chuckin' Festival, and especially to Chris and Brian for all the hard work they put into their trebuchet. I'm sure she feels, like all those there, it might be a good idea to spread the word on how exciting it is to see championship pumpkin chuckin', and if there is anyone out there who can challenge Chris and Brian next year.
"I've seen a horse fly, I've seen a dragon fly, I've even seen a house fly, I've never seen an elephant fly, but I can now say, I've seen a pumpkin fly, at least 762 feet," said Bernard.
Emery County Recreation is looking at establishing a tradition with the Pumpkin Chuckin' Festival and encourages everyone to get to work on their launcher for next year. The event was held on DesBeDove road just below the sheriff's office.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Incredible bait, awesome that there thats this bait runs 8-12' with 10-12lb mono. But the the coolest part of this bait is the size and how well it cast. Great colors, good hooks and just an awesome fish catcher.
From: Samuel: IA 7/20/16
Comments: The best finesse deep diver out there. I reach for this one during tough bites, especially in clear water without much wind. This small profiled crank catches numbers and nice ones, with some of the best colors on the market. It'll hit 13' on a good long cast with 10 pound fluorocarbon.
From: Tyler: Grand Junction, CO 5/23/15
Comments: great smallmouth crank at my local clear water pond. Hooks are okay but they could be better. I watched a 2lb largie inhale it and the fish wasn't even hooked that well but honestly idc since I caught him. And I don't see how people can't cast this. I can cast it on my mh cranking rod no problem
From: Chris: ME 11/26/14
Comments: Fantastic cranks. Runs true, sheds sparse weeds well, and best of all gets bit-alot. In my opinion by far the best of the strike king cranks
From: Steve: Hagerstown, MD 10/1/14
Comments: the 3xd is a decent bait. Whenever I bring it to the table it brings fish to the table for me and I like that. Only problem I've occurred over my lifetime with this bait is its light so it's hard to cast. But I love these sobs.
From: Wisconsin Angling Outdoors: WI 9/29/14
Comments: I love the 3XD and have fish them until the bait sunk. Can't go wrong with colors such as Sexy shad, Tennessee shad, and Citrus shad in waters near Kentucky.
From: Jacob: KY 6/29/14
Comments: These little guys dive down to depth fast, and have a very nice wobble; wish they were a little heavier.
From: Brett: NY 4/11/14
Comments: I cannot imagine that anyone has anything negative to say about this bait. I have worn out easily over 20 of these things in the last three years and each one has performed just as good as the last. Many times, the perfectly decent stock hooks have outlasted the bait itself. If I am looking for numbers, on a day when the fish are biting good, there is no other bait that produces like a 3XD.
From: Nate: USA
Comments: What else can I say that hasn't already been said about the 3XD. My fishing buddy and I were marking fish from 8-12 deep...they just were not biting bigger baits. When the fish are looking to munch on a smaller profile bait, the 3XD it going to be the ticket to get them in the boat.
From: Joseph: Syracuse, NY
Comments: Difference maker when it come down to tournament. Very good deep crank with small profile
From: SmashMouth: MotherLode
Comments: I got a few of these to try out some deeper crankbaits, and i am very happy with them. The xd series comes with better hardware than the standard series, which i noticed as i was unpacking my last TW order. The XD baits have nickel hooks and nice small split rings, and the standard baits have huge splitrings and junk bronze hooks. I have had a few days on the water with these new baits and i got a 3.5 LMB on the green shad. No issues, and the hook kept the fish locked up. I will be changing the hooks on the regular series. The 3xd has some great colors, and works well with my medium cranking sticks.
From: John: Groton CT
Comments: amazing bait! fished a tournament last weekend and threw this bait in rootbeer color landed 5 nice smallies witha a 3lb kicker to win with 9lbs 4oz (the second place kid had like 4lbs 8oz) thanks strike king!
From: Dexter: Olathe, CO
Comments: Largemouth, Smallmouth,Hybrids,Catfish,Drum and Gar just love to crush this bait. Plus it doesn't hurt as bad when a lure gets popped like the $15 lures.
From: Greg: AL
Comments: I love this crank...I have been killing it on the pumpkin seed color
From: Chris: Ohio
Comments: Yet another GREAT CRANKBAIT from Strike King. Runs true out of the package. This bait will come through some cover the big lip also digs in really well. It gets to max depth fast! Catches fish!
From: Tyler: USA
Comments: awesome crankbait strike king and kvd did a great job on this crankbait runs true straight out of the pack and if fairly priced, loved the bait took a friend of mine out before a cool front came through and fished my favorite channel swing and ended up with at least 80 bass left them biting and all of the bass had the bait choked down caught 2 doubles on one bait ...great investment

Canadians Heather Bansley and Elizabeth Maloney win NORCECA beach tournament
OTTAWA – For the second time this season, a Canadian pair has won a NORCECA beach volleyball tournament.
Heather Bansley and Elizabeth Maloney of Toronto defeated Yarleen Santiago and Dariam Acevedo of Puerto Rico in the championship final 26-24, 21-14 in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. Earlier the Canadians had beaten American pair Tealle Hunkus and Heather Lowe in the semifinal 18-21, 21-16, 15-6.
It was a first career victory for Bansley and Maloney.
"We are very excited," said Maloney, who won a bronze with her partner earlier this season on the circuit. "We worked very well in defence throughout the tournament and it gave us the gold."
Julie Rodrigue of Quebec City and Katherine Zakrzewski of Toronto, NORCECA winners earlier this season as well, took the bronze beating the Americans 23-21, 21-19.
On the men's side, Sam Schachter of Richmond Hill, Ont., and Ray Sewell of Calgary took fourth spot dropping the bronze medal match to Orlando Irizarry and Robert Rodriguez of Puerto Rico 14-21, 21-17, 15-12.
Canadian official in Africa: The Nigeria Volleyball Federation has organised the first Beach Volleyball Clinic for African Confederation Zone 3 countries to help African national federations get a better understanding on how to efficiently run Beach Volleyball tournaments. FIVB Instructor Andre Trottier from Quebec will help run the course which will mainly focus on competition organization, specifically in relation to the Continental Cup, part of the FIVB's new qualifying system for the 2012 London Olympic Games.

Scantling murder trial delayed
The trial of a man accused of shooting another man to death in Kennewick in March is delayed more than two months today, and his attorney says she does not anticipate the new trial date to be firm.
Grant Scantling waived his right to a speedy trial this morning.
He is accused of killing 24 year-old Franklin Palmer at a duplex on East 8th Place.
Scantling's trial is now scheduled to start July 22nd.
He will be back in court next month.

Christine Porter is hooked on the MyFitnessPal app. In October, after deciding to lose 50 pounds, Porter started typing in everything she eats, drinks and any exercise she gets.
"This is my main page here," says Porter. "It's telling me I have about 1,200 calories remaining for the day. When I want to record something I just click the 'add to diary' button. I'm on it all day either through my phone or through the computer."
She says she's lost 42 pounds in nine months.
Health apps like MyFitnessPal are turning smartphones and tablets into exercise aids, blood pressure monitors and even devices that transmit an electrocardiogram. But the explosion of apps is way ahead of tests to determine which ones work.
Porter heard about the fitness app from Ryan Sherman, her health coach at a clinic for employees of Massachusetts General Hospital. Sherman helps peoople turn a doctor's orders into action for keeping high blood pressure or sugar levels in check.
Increasingly, says Sherman, patients with diabetes or heart problems are coming in, pulling out their phones, and saying, "Hey, have you seen this app?"
"There's a new one every day, so it's trying to keep up with that," Sherman says.
That's one reason why many doctors are suggesting, but not prescribing apps.
Doctors aren't sure which of the roughly 40,000 available apps do what they claim to do. The Food and Drug Administration divides health apps into two categories: those that help with healthful lifestyles and those that turn your phone into a medical device to, say, record blood pressure or an EKG, and then send those readings to a doctor.
The FDA is working on regulations for the mobile medical apps that can turn a mobile platform into a medical device. It does not plan to regulate diet or exercise apps. A few private companies are stepping in to do that task. Ben Chodor started Happtique, a company that reviews apps and gives those that at least perform correctly a seal of approval.
"It's the Wild West and someone needs to come in and at least help the consumers and the clinicians and the payers sort through the forty thousand-plus apps that are already out there," says Chodor.
Happtique does not say which apps work better than others or guarantee their safety.
Still, Eric Topol, a cardiologist who directs the Scripps Translational Science Institute in San Diego, says apps that monitor blood pressure or glucose rates can be more valuable than prescriptions to keep these conditions in check.
"When we use a medication, we don't know if it's going to work or not. It's much better when a person's taking their blood pressure on a frequent basis," says Topol. "The average person looks at their smartphone 150 times a day, so all of a sudden they're able to diagnose if their blood pressure's adequately controlled and what are the circumstances when it's not."
Topol has twice used an iPhone app and a heart monitor to diagnose people suspected of having heart problems while on airplanes. In one case, a woman had atrial fibrillation. In another, the man was having a heart attack. The plane was diverted so he could be treated.
But Laura Ferris, a dermatologist at the University of Pittsburgh, urges patients to use apps cautiously. "It does make sense that people who download these apps and use them really understand that they are doing so at their own risk," says Ferris.
Ferris ran a study of apps that claim to detect skin cancer based on a picture of a mole. Only one of the apps sends the picture to a dermatologist. It was right 98 percent of the time.
Three others, say Ferris, could be dangerously wrong. "The best of them missed melanoma 30 percent of the time," she says. "The worst of them missed melanoma over 90 percent of the time."
And many unresolved questions swirl around the data collected by medical apps, including whether the information patients collect become part of their medical record, how would this work, and what will insurance cover.

|In response to Re: Whole house water pressure
: : A plumber recently told me our water pressure from the street is too high at 81 psi. He attached a valve to an outside faucet to measure it--I saw the reading myself.
: : We just moved into this house, so we don't know the plumbing history. How do I know this guy is not just trying to rip us off?
: : If it is too high, how do we fix it?
: : thanks.
: I'm from New York and to answer it from NYC stand point I would figure the following.
: Flow rate would depend on the fixture Units (FU) needed. A FU is based on 7.48 gallons. A Flushometer would require much more GPM's than a tank and bowl.
: You would also have to size this piping besides the GPM required BUT you must take velocity into consideration as you certainly do not want to cause a premature piping failure due to erosion (normally no more than 8 FPS) as this could also cause hydraulic shock (water hammer) and noisy system. (You may want to contact the Copper Development Association for their recommendations.)
: Never ASS U, ME as you make an ass of you and me.
: ASSUME NOTHING plumbing is a science and each system should be designed. This is not a one size fits all. You can design a system by figuring that only 75% of this system would be used at one and base your piping sizes to this factor.
: I hate a one pressure fits all mentality as folks running for examaple a hydronic heating line would certainly not want to have a velocity in excess of 3 FPS with any water temperature AT 180 degrees or higher.
: There are so many factors in plunbing and too many folks rather guess or use a very wide pressure range then doing the actual hoework required to being a "professional plumber"
: Your plumber sounds like he is right on the money
: Saying 40 -60 PSI is "average" sure leaves a lot to be desired when installing a piping system sight unseen.
: Is this a ranch or a multi story dwelling?
: Are there water meters that add a lot of friction loss. What size main. many one family homes I work in have an 11/2 Brass main YET I would never say 1"-2" is normal as some folks do have a fire suppression system (NFPA 13) taken off the water main
: What kind of materials are used for the piping.
: See it is not al that simple UNLESS your following
: Not all "codes" are good for civilized countries BUT pay offs have been known to have been made and inspectors can be bought so good luck.

Shane Barker, Senior Legislative Associate, National Legislative Service, VFW
MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THIS COMMITTEE: On behalf of the 2.1 million members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States and our Auxiliaries, the VFW would like to thank this committee for the opportunity to present our views on today's pending legislation.
H.R. 811, the Providing Military Honors for our Nation's Heroes Act
This bill is intended to help mitigate costs to military retirees and veterans who are taking it upon themselves to assist in providing military funeral honors for veterans. Ordinarily, this sacred task is the responsibility of our military, however, because of our ongoing commitments overseas they are often unable to meet the demand for such honors. The VFW strongly believes that all who have earned such honors should receive them in full. This commitment is the basis on which we support H.R. 811. This legislation promotes volunteer participation by providing a reimbursement for travel and incidental expenses to members of Veteran Service Organizations and other groups approved by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. At a time when many of our greatest generation are passing on, and those serving in current conflicts are risking their lives for our country, this measure is appropriate and well-deserved.
H.R.1407, the Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2011
The VFW supports this legislation. Veterans have not received a COLA increase in two years, but are still paying more at the grocery store, pharmacy, gas pump, and elsewhere. We are encouraged that recent data shows a 2.1 % increase in the CPI-W over the 2008 COLA base, and are hopeful that veterans and survivors will see a corresponding increase in their pensions and other compensation, such as DIC, in the coming year. This legislation is the vehicle to ensure that takes place.
H.R. 1441, a bill to codify the prohibition of gravesites at Arlington National Cemetery, and for other purposes
This legislation is long overdue. It will finally prohibit, in law, the insider practice of allowing certain high-ranking military members and other VIPs to pre-select their gravesites. This practice was banned by Army policy in 1962 -nearly 50 years ago -yet cemetery administrators continued to arbitrarily allow some to skirt the rules. Burial at Arlington National Cemetery is a tremendous honor that depends on honorable service, not rank. It is obvious that greater accountability and transparency is needed, so we appreciate language in this bill that requires a full audit and a report back to Congress.
H.R. 1484, the Veterans Appeals Improvement Act of 2011
Section 2 would make significant changes to the claims appeals process. Specifically, it would reverse the current procedure of requiring new evidence submitted for a claim under appeal to be considered by a regional office before being sent to the Board of Veterans Appeals, except in cases where the appellant waives that review. It would also would stipulate that the Board is required to rate all new evidence submitted after the case is sent to them unless the veteran specifically refuses to waive their consideration.
To be sure, the procedures currently in place often make for a lengthy appeals process. When new evidence for an appeal claim is submitted, the Board puts the appeal on hold and contacts the appellant to inquire whether or not he or she wants to waive local consideration of the new evidence. That alone often tacks a few months onto the length of a claim. When appellants want a regional office to review new evidence, the appeal is remanded back to that office from the Board, and that can easily add another year onto the appeal process. In some cases, however, new evidence being reviewed locally can bring about a local grant of the benefit sought through the appeal, and can put the matter to rest more quickly. Additionally, this local review provides appellants one more opportunity to have the appeal looked at and decided in their favor.
These changes would allow the Board to move more quickly on appeals, and would alter but not eliminate an appellant's right to local consideration. Among our VFW service officers, we waive local consideration about 90% of the time for veterans we represent. Furthermore, most veterans who file claims unrepresented often do not know they have the ability to waive local consideration. We do not believe this procedural change would have a significant impact on appellants, and the VFW supports Section 2 of the bill.
Section 3 would create a Veterans Judicial Review Commission and charge it with reviewing the administrative and judicial appellate review process, and to report to Congress recommendations for improving the process. The VFW would reserve the privilege to review the work of the Commission and respond after having a chance to read and digest any specific recommendations they would choose to make.
For these reasons, the VFW has no official position on this section of the legislation.
H.R. 1627, a bill to amend title 38, United States Code, to provide for certain requirements for the placement of monuments in Arlington National Cemetery, and for other purposes
The VFW supports this effort to codify procedures used at Arlington Cemetery to place memorial markers. We strongly believe that any decisions that would affect the grounds at Arlington must be principled, fair, and based on precedent. We also believe that the individual placement of memorial markers should not hinge upon the legislative process. This legislation advances these principles by taking existing procedures for placing memorial markers and making them the law of the land.
H.R. 1647, the Veterans Choice in Filing Act of 2011 The VFW does not support this legislation.
H.R. 1647 creates a two-year pilot program under which veterans at five underperforming regional offices would be able to submit benefits claims to any VA regional office of their choice. The VFW is by no means opposed to identifying and using any appropriate means to raise poorly performing offices up to standards. In fact, we are so committed to that goal, we would rather see our collective efforts focused on a permanent solution to the complicated and systemic problems with claims processing. This pilot would merely require V A to shuffle work around -a practice, in fact, that already takes place within VBA. The VA uses the term "brokering" to describe the way in which they address disparities in production by transferring cases from backed up offices to those with "excess capacity." One of our concerns is the possibility that this pilot program could create even more brokering in response to claims being sent by veterans to the regional office of their choosing, and could lead to those underperforming office receiving the same amount of work from across the country through the already existing brokering process.
It also creates serious headaches for VFW service offices and those from other Veteran Service Organizations -and potentially the veterans themselves. It is unclear how we or an individual veteran would know whom to contact about their claim, or how effective a service officer could be regarding a claim that was sent to a distant state from across the country.
At a time when VA is conducting dozens of other pilot programs while applying significant resources to get ahead of the curve on the backlog, we believe measures with no apparent value added should be deferred.
H. Con. Res. 12, a resolution expressing the sense of Congress that an appropriate site on Chaplains Hill in Arlington National Cemetery should be provided for a memorial marker to honor the memory of the Jewish chaplains who died while on active duty in the Armed Forces of the United States
The VFW supports this resolution. One needs to look no further than the resolution itself to find testimony of the dedication, selflessness, and sacrifices made by chaplains of the Jewish faith on behalf of the United States. Today there stands three other memorial markers on Chaplains Hill in Arlington, two of which are in memoriam of chaplains of other faiths. It seems appropriate and fitting that a marker of similar design should be allowed to pay tribute to the many Rabbinical Chaplains who have also served with dignity and honor.

The world has lost a visionary, an innovator, and to some, a revolutionary. Denim Therapy pays tribute to Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple: a man who started out, like many of us, with just an idea. Well-known and much lampooned for his trademark casual black shirt and blue jeans attire, Jobs' laid-back exterior appearance seemed to be a juxtaposition of who he represented: the co-founder of the Apple empire and the purveyor of technology that so many of us are pretty much addicted to today. Spearheading the creation of Apple laptops, the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad, the technology developed under his helm created convenience for bloggers and solutions for the busy person on the go. He may be gone now in the physical sense, but his impact on the world is forever and should be remembered and shared.

Here in La La Land it's been too hot to cook.
So I've been going raw. Numero uno- it's easy. Numero dos- it's tasty. And as an added bonus (if you need another nudge) cooking raw keeps the kitchen cool as a cucumber- which, by all accounts, is chilly by default, and, well. Cool. As in hip. At least around these hipster parts (it's right up there with gluten-free lately).
I am way past the hipster stage of life, I confess. But I admit I've been flirting with raw cuisine on and off ever since the monkey gut incident. Eating vegan and raw seems to help heal inflammation and tame my irritable, punishing digestion. Unless it's broccoli. Or onion. Or too much raw fruit. I still need to be careful. But eating mostly vegan soothes my pesky symptoms and revitalizes my cranky, creaky body. I am amazed at how much better I feel. Maybe it's all those perky little enzymes.
Now if I could only quell the stress factor.
Good thing I have an iPhone. Iphoneography keeps me sane. It's a way I can paint. Create. Stay engaged. Hopeful. It keeps my spirit fed. And my visually dominant brain happy.
Meanwhile, an iphoneoraphy girl's gotta eat.
So I'll be soaking almonds and cashews for raw recipes. Freezing bananas. And stocking up on lettuce.
Why not try a little un-cooking yourself these last hot days of summer? This recipe for cashew cream is the perfect place to start. It's versatile and voluptuous. It's vegan and dairy-free.
You'll love it.
So go.
Start soaking.
How to Soak Cashews for Cashew Cream
1 cup organic raw cashews
Fresh filtered water
Rinse the cashews in a colander and place them in a glass or ceramic bowl. Cover them with fresh filtered water.
Cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and let them soak for two hours.
Drain and use in recipes.
How easy is that?
Curry Ranch Dressing - a raw vegan recipe
1 cup soaked raw cashews
1/2 cup fresh filtered water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice
1/2 to 1 teaspoon mild gluten-free curry powder, to taste
1/4 teaspoon organic garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon organic onion powder
Pinch of sea salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste1 teaspoon fresh minced dill
2 teaspoons fresh minced parsley
2 teaspoons fresh minced basil leaves
Combine the soaked cashews, water, lemon juice, curry, garlic and onion powder in a Vita-Mix or blender and blend until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of filtered water to thin; pulse. Add another tablespoon, as needed.

Season with sea salt and black pepper, to taste.
Add the fresh chopped herbs. Pulse briefly to combine. Don't over do it.
Taste test! Adjust seasonings to your liking. Store in a covered glass jar or storage container. The flavors get better as it chills.
Use as a salad dressing or as a dip for carrot, celery, and zucchini sticks, and broccoli florets.
Makes four servings.

GFG Notes:
For a thicker dip for crudities, use a little less liquid to start. You can always add more.
Out of fresh herbs? Use dried. Start with a teaspoon each of dried herbs.
Using this a veggie dip is a tasty way to get kids to munch healthy.
Best used within four days.

Clash of the Titans
November 17 2007 02:48PM
Well, lambs, it's game time. The 2004 and 2006 Stanley Cup finalists (currently ranked ranked 30th and 29th in the league, respectively) are squaring off in the battle for 28th spot. Or, as we like to call it, the Battle of Alberta.
I don't care if they're 90th in the league and the Flames are 103rd, beating the Flames is like winning a midget-tossing contest against Hulk Hogan: deeply satisfying.
Our iron-clad prediction: Oilers 52, Flames 0.
Yes, it's going to be a blow-out like that. Man, these mushrooms are starting to kick.
November 17 2007, 04:59PM
I would have to agree with that. I would gladly like to be the fan of 2007-2008 toilet bowl champions Edmonton Oilers if it meant that we beat the flames to do so.

MMORPG.com Warhammer Online Correspondent Kyle Stout writes this quick guide to help players to survive their first forray into WAR's RvR scenarios.
Once upon a time, a great man made an excellent quote. He even wrote into a book, and in fact the message was embossed on the front cover. The man was Douglas Adams, not the famous politician, but the science fiction writer, and his famous words were simple – "Don't Panic." Taking this notice to heart, it can provide the most basic of rules for surviving your first foray into Warhammer Online's robust PvP scenarios.
Read the article here.
Jon Wood
Managing Editor
Great information, also listening to the more experienced players in the RvR Scenario is an idea as well. There are people who play the scenarios day in and day out and know what needs to be done for a quick win and quick points in any of them.
Well, WAR is the first MMORPG I really got into PvP'ing with. SWG I did but that had a different feel to it and I didn't do that too much.
The first time I was involved in RvR play I did panic and ended up getting stomped even faster. Now, I'm not that good but I don't panic. And I do have a number of kills to my name. I tried PvP in other games, namely WoW and gave up on it...I didn't have the gear to compete.
WAR makes it fun and I didn't realize how much I've been missing out on. Now I only get impatient to hurry up and get back into the fray....and no more losing my cool.
This is a good article. I wish the majority of WAR players actually read this, but I know most don't bother with forums. Either way, experience will teach them, article or no article.
MMORPG's w/ Max level characters: DAoC, SWG, & WoW
Currently Playing: WAR
Preferred Playstyle: Roleplay/adventurous, in a sandbox game.
Scenerios are some of the FUNNIEST things to do in WAR. Specially if you get with a group that knows what they are doing.
I had one guy, in the Phoenix one, run around attacking people when he had the flag instead of running back to the base. We're sitting there telling him go to the base! His excuse was they were slowing me so I might as well turn around and fight.
So WH and WOW will have a fight~
Good article and good advice for people first trying out the Scenarios in WAR. They are incredibly fun and this article had some good tips, esp. the part about not getting discouraged from losses or deaths. The times you get stomped will be overshadowed by the times your team pulls a last minute vidtory or your character was the one who helped turn the tide of battle. (Recapturing the flag at the last minute in Khaine's Embrace or the thankless, bur sometimes amusing, job of Defense in Phoenix Gate)

doubt this WoW pvp is at a point right now that anyone starting will have a brutal time getting anywhere becuase of vetrain players dominating any & all bg's / arenas (dont get me started on arenas) thankfully that will all take a big reset after WOTLK & the new level cap.
as for WAR pvp / RvR as they call it. these are easy for everyone cause they bump ur level up to match the highest PC playing in the scenario. though u wont get the abilities or gear that you'd most likely have at that level you do get the hit points that you would at that level so it levels the playing field right off the bat. so far i give the WAR pvp a thumbs up as long as they dont go in the direction of WoW current pvp system.
as for that guide. great for ppl that havent played a mmo-pvp game or even a FPS team game (unreal tournament, halo, counter-strike, etc) alot of games have team tactics. so if there not playing as a team there either dumb or just ignorant or something else i wont say.
Good points. Panicing(sp?) happens a lot. I've seen archmages and runepriests start to get hit by a chosen, and run screaming into the melee and drop instantly. I've also seen tanks get hit and run screaming from the melee leaving the healers completely unprotected, soon after, everyone is down.
Sometimes the best thing you can do is stand in there and take your medicine, your tanks won't always be able to stop the witch elf killing you, and your healers won't always be able to keep you up in the middle of the melee, but you've got a much better chance.

Roosevelt having a fireside chat in Washington, D.C., April 28, 1935. Photo courtesy of the National Archives and Records Administration. PD. Fireside Chat 1: On the Banking Crisis (March 12, 1933) Get Flash to see this player. Eighty years ago today, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt delivered the first "fireside chat" evening radio address to the nation. By the time of his inauguration the week before, nearly all of the banks in the nation had temporarily closed in response to mass withdrawals by a panicked public. In the March 12, 1933 "fireside chat," Roosevelt sought to calm the nation's fears and outlined his plan to restore confidence in the banking system. As he would in future addresses, FDR used common language to explain the complex problem that had developed and what the administration was doing about it. Roosevelt told the nation: I want to tell you what has been done in the last few days, why it was done, and what the next steps are going to be. I recognize that the many proclamations from State Capitols and from Washington, the legislation, the Treasury regulations, etc., couched for the most part in banking and legal terms should be explained for the benefit of the average citizen. I owe this in particular because of the fortitude and good temper with which everybody has accepted the inconvenience and hardships of the banking holiday. I know that when you understand what we in Washington have been about I shall continue to have your cooperation as fully as I have had your sympathy and help during the past week. After explaining the problem and the administration's actions, FDR made an appeal for the public's sympathy and support, soliciting trust and contributing to a sense of national unity in confronting the crisis: After all there is an element in the readjustment of our financial system more important than currency, more important than gold, and that is the confidence of the people. Confidence and courage are the essentials of success in carrying out our plan. You people must have faith; you must not be stampeded by rumors or guesses. Let us unite in banishing fear. We have provided the machinery to restore our financial system; it is up to you to support and make it work. It is your problem no less than it is mine. Together we cannot fail. In all, Roosevelt delivered thirty "fireside chat" radio addresses between 1933 and 1944. FDR used the new form of communication to reshape the presidency and the chats were a significant development in building a direct and intimate bond between the president and the public. The press would no longer serve as the only conduit of information to the public. Instead, FDR appealed directly to the public to make the case for his agenda and to explain actions his administration was taking. The chats also contributed to shaping the image of the president as the caretaker of the American people. In his chats, FDR would propose policies, contributing the growth of executive office duties not only in implementing policy, but also drafting it. Designing and crafting legislation, in turn, contributed to the expansion of White House staff and advisers to the president. Furthermore, the public responded. The White House received millions of letters from the public in response to the chats, which the administration used to pressure Congress to pass legislation the president had proposed. Although every president since FDR has delivered regular addresses to the public via radio, television or internet, it was President Ronald Reagan who began the practice of weekly addresses to the public. Since taking office, President Barack Obama has delivered weekly internet addresses, which are available on YouTube and WhiteHouse.gov. Direct communication between the president and the public is now almost certainly taken for granted. Listen to all of FDR's "fireside chat" radio addresses in our archives here.

The NFL decided last week that, despite Adam Jones' recent arrest on charges of assaulting a woman at a bar, the player formerly known as "Pacman" would still speak at the rookie symposium this weekend about life beyond the football field.
Many have questioned the decision. In turn, Jones is questioning the critics' judgment and maintaining his innocence.
"Why would I not keep talking to the youth and help the youth out like I did last year because of somebody else acting up?" the Cincinnati Bengals cornerback told USA TODAY Sports Tuesday night. "I guess right now I'm getting accused of doing something wrong. The video speaks a thousand words and that'll take care of itself, but I don't see any reason why I should be shying away from any conversations or anything that matters to me and my youth.
"My reputation speaks for itself. I'm a good father, a good husband and I'm good in the community, too. I'm not out getting drunk, harassing people and being a (jerk) to people."
PACMAN: Was just protecting myself
'KNOCK' TWICE: Bengals on HBO series (again)
Jones' reputation is much better than it once was, and Jones said his inability to escape his past will be a topic of conversation with the rookies.
"Of course, it will be. No matter how much I've done to improve or give back to the community or just growing as a person, the first time something pops up, it's all, 'Well, he's done this in the past,'" Jones said. "I've made this bed for myself. I'm not comfortable lying in it, but, at some point, the past has to be the past. … I'm truly proud of the person I've become and I'm still growing every day. I don't have no regrets or worries."
A former sixth-overall draft pick, he was – to use his own words – "a knucklehead, just young and dumb" during the early stages of his NFL career. A series of arrests and behavioral issues eventually resulted in his being suspended by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for a full season. Upon his return to the league with the Dallas Cowboys, Jones found himself in even more trouble when he got into a fight with his bodyguard at a hotel. He was suspended again, this time for six games.
Finally, after going unsigned for the entire 2009 season, Jones started to become a better citizen and teammate with the Bengals in 2010. He stayed out of trouble and began serving as a mentor for younger players.
During his speech at last year's rookie symposium, he spotted one player in the audience who wasn't paying attention, much as a younger Jones probably would've acted, and called out that player in front of his peers.
But now, Jones is facing another pending legal matter. And while he continues to claim he acted in self-defense after the woman he struck raised a beer bottle to his head, Jones is hearing plenty of criticism about how he shouldn't have been at a bar in the first place.
"That's ludicrous," he said. "I'm 30 years old, I know how to carry myself, I'm not out acting stupid. I don't want to hear that about how I can't go to a bar. I'm 30 years old. I know how to carry myself as a person. Point blank."
Jones said the woman he struck interrupted an argument he was having with one of her friends. Jones said one of the women had asked him if he would take a picture with her and he declined. The security-camera feed of the incident shows the woman Jones hit, 34-year-old Shannon Wesley, raising the bottle to his head after what appears to be a brief argument. It's unclear if Wesley was attempting to pour the beer on Jones or strike him with the bottle.
"It just happened, I'm a little shaken up … it happened really fast," Wesley told a 911 dispatcher. "He was harassing my friend and saying derogatory things towards my friend, and I stood up for them. And he called me a 'b----' and he punched me in my head."
One of the few things on which Jones and Wesley agree was the incident happening quickly.
"It wasn't like I was trying to hurt the young lady. I had an open right hand," Jones said. "I didn't even slap her in the face; I think I hit her shoulder. People are going to take it for what it's worth and the first thing she says, it's in the headlines."
Therein lies the message Jones plans to relay to the rookies this weekend. Regardless of whether he's eventually found guilty on any charges, he realizes his past transgressions led many to criticize him as soon as they heard the news. In fact, that's part of the reason Jones wrote about his arrest on Twitter before the news broke elsewhere. He wanted to get his side of the story out as quickly as possible.
Jones' agent, Peter Schaffer, said he was encouraged by his client's immediately notifying the Bengals of the incident.
"The Bengals' head of security, Rusty Guy, told me, 'At least Adam knew to call me right away,'" Schaffer said. "When he came into the league, his initial reaction was, 'I'm not calling my security guy because he's not on my side.' Now, Adam realizes the guy is on his side."
That's another message Jones will relay to the rookies. It's a lesson he learned when the Cowboys' staff talked him through the fight with his bodyguard and some other unspecified issues.
"I really had a chance to sit down and talk to them about a couple of incidents and realized they really were there to help me," Jones said. "They weren't trying to get me in any more trouble or trying to see what I'm doing every night. They were there because they have a job to do."
So does Goodell, and his punishment of Jones in 2007 and 2009 was part of his sweeping attempt to discipline players for off-field transgressions. A league spokesman said the league will wait for the legal process to play out in this case.
In 2008, Goodell didn't show as much patience when he suspended the late Chris Henry soon after he was charged with assault in 2008, with the suspension pending the outcome of Henry's trial.
"We're looking at repeat offenders and we may not wait for the process to conclude when we have repeat offenders," Goodell said during his Super Bowl press conference in 2009. "You can have false accusations once, maybe twice. When you start getting to multiple (arrests), you're putting yourself in the wrong position, you're making the wrong decisions in the wrong places. At that point in time, you're reflecting poorly on the NFL itself, your teammates."
Does Goodell think Jones put himself in the wrong position by being at the bar that night and continuing to argue with Wesley? Does he still consider Jones a repeat offender after Jones' recent attempts to stay out of trouble? Will Jones face a suspension if he pleads guilty to any charges?
As all these questions and the ones involving the courts await to be answered, Jones is eager to provide some answers of his own for the players who are about to face the pressures he's encountered in the past – and even now.
"My goal is to just give back to the community and the league and to let them know you're accountable for everything you're doing," he said. "There's nobody who's gotten more chances than me and, when you do, when you're back in those situations … you're always going to be judged by your past, regardless of what anybody says. I just want to try to enlighten some of the guys so they don't have to go through the things I went through."
