ST. LOUIS - You don't need the luck of the Irish to stay healthy on St. Patrick's Day. A few little changes to your holiday rituals can pay big health dividends, says Katie Eliot, instructor in the department of nutrition and dietetics.
"Holidays should be fun and you can celebrate by stepping outside of your normal healthy diet," Eliot said.
"Don't deprive yourself of your favorite St. Patrick's Day foods. A healthy St. Patrick's Day doesn't mean you have to ditch the Guinness and corned beef. Just use good judgment and enjoy the treats in moderation."
|Katie Eliot is an instructor in the department of nutrition and dietetics.
Main Meal
Corned beef probably is the meat of choice for dinner on March 17. However, it is high in fat and very high in sodium, so watch your portion size.
The recommended amount of corned beef is three ounces, which is about the size of your palm or a deck of cards. That portion contains about half of the daily amount of sodium a person should eat.
"Portion size is always going to be important when it comes to celebrating the holidays," Eliot said.
Potatoes and cabbage also are mainstays of a traditional St. Patrick's meal. Eat plenty of cabbage, Eliot suggests, because it is low in calories and is a great source of antioxidants. However, go easy on the potatoes if you slather them in butter because that adds fat to your diet.
Don't Drink Too Much
For most people, it's OK to enjoy a green beer or two. Some alcoholic beverages have antioxidants, which are compounds that are good for your heart, so celebrate with a Guinness — just make sure you don't overdo it.
"The most important thing to keep in mind is moderation," Eliot said. "You want to make sure to remember that for men, it's two alcoholic beverages a day and for women it's one. Make sure to drink plenty of water between your alcoholic beverages."
Drinking water throughout the day will help rehydrate your body and can prevent overindulgence.
"When we drink, not only do we get calories from that, but it also stimulates our appetite," Eliot said. "We tend to eat more unhealthy foods when we are drinking."
Think Green
Once you've had a few green beers, consider switching to green tea, which is an excellent source of antioxidants and has been reported to lower cholesterol, as well as your risk of heart disease.
Or enjoy a green smoothie, which is a great way to incorporate your favorite green fruits and vegetables.
"St. Patrick's Day is a great opportunity to eat green foods — kiwi, edamame and broccoli — they're green, they're healthy, and they've got lots of fiber and lots of vitamins and minerals," Eliot said.
Kale is another green superfood that should become a part of your holiday celebration. Eliot recommends baking kale in the oven to make kale chips and adding a side of guacamole to continue the healthy and green theme.
"Kale is a green leafy vegetable — a lot of times you see it as a garnish," Eliot said. "Kale is actually really high in vitamin K, and has lots of other good nutrients including the B vitamins, vitamins A and C, fiber and magnesium. When you bake them, they're a really healthy alternative to potato chips."
The traditional Irish fare can pack some extra calories, so one way to burn them is to include exercise in your St. Patrick's Day ritual.
If Irish dancing isn't your thing, there are often St. Patrick's Day runs before the parade festivities begin. St. Louis will host its 35th annual five mile parade run on Saturday, March 16, at 9 a.m. The annual parade run attracts as many as 13,000 participants each year.
"I love when there's an event associated with a holiday because you can go ahead and keep your calories under control by exercising, which lets you celebrate St. Patrick's Day the healthy way," Eliot said.
"To make the most of this celebration, remember the holiday diet rules and make sure you get back to your normal diet and exercise routine the next day."
Long a leader in educating health professionals, Saint Louis University offered its first degree in an allied health profession in 1929. Today the Doisy College of Health Sciences offers degrees in physical therapy, athletic training education, clinical laboratory science, nutrition and dietetics, health informatics and information management, health sciences, medical imaging and radiation therapeutics, occupational science and occupational therapy, and physician assistant education. The college's unique curriculum prepares students to work with health professionals from all disciplines to ensure the best possible patient care.

Comments about Blush:
I loved the idea of this blush - super finely milled. I really wanted it to work for me because it went on so nicely, but the colors all appeared clownish and unnatural on me. I have light skin with neutral undertones. Same problem my mom faced, but she has medium skin with neutral undertones.

The jury is still out on whether the Dallas Cowboys will lose Dez Bryant for the rest of the season after the wide receiver fractured his left index finger during last week's win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
To have surgery or not to have surgery? That is the question to which Bryant has an adamant response.
"It would take more than this to take me out,'' Bryant said Tuesday, via Scout.com. "No way. They'd have to break my leg to keep me out."
NFL POWER RANKINGS: New No. 1
Earlier in the day, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on his weekly radio show that Bryant ultimately will decide his own fate.
"Dez will be the the ultimate decision-maker as to whether or not he wants to continue to try to play with a lot of protection or whether he should have surgery," Jones said on KRLD 105.3 FM, via the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "The reason for the surgery is because you could have a life-lasting stiffness there."
Losing Bryant for the stretch run would no doubt be a huge blow to Dallas. He's second in the NFL in receiving touchdowns with nine and has career highs in receptions (75) and receiving yards (1,028). In the last four games alone in which the Cowboys have become playoff relevant again, Bryant has 30 catches for 438 yards and six touchdowns.
I know what you might be thinking. It's only an index finger injury; suck it up. The problem is that possibility of "life-lasting stiffness," Jones said, is according to hand specialists who have consulted the team. "Life-lasting stiffness" in a finger isn't something a receiver, who makes his living catching footballs, would want to deal with throughout his career.
Then again, Torry Holt put together a fine career playing with this ugly looking thing. But they can't all be Torry Holt.

Canadian men advance to main draw
THE HAGUE, The Netherlands (June 11, 2013) They are still in the early phases of their partnership, but that did not stop Christian Redmann of Toronto (in photo) and Maverick Hatch of Comox, B.C., to grab a main draw spot at The Hague Grand Slam beach volleyball tournament which is a stop on the FIVB World Tour circuit.
The Canadian pair just started a new partnership 10 days ago.
"It's exciting playing with a new partner and we feel pretty comfortable", Hatch said after their win over third seeded Serguei Prokopiev and Yury Bogatov (25-23 21-17). Earlier on Tuesday they beat Australia's Malachi Murch and Cole Durant, also in two sets (21-17 21-18).
The Canadians appear to be a good combination, Redmann digging up the ball in the back and Hatch blocking away at the net.
The first set against Russia's Prokopiev and Bogatov was close: 25-23. "We knew it was going to be a tough match, we both played this team before," said Hatch. "I lost last year, but Chris managed to win a few times. We just focused on our own game."
Taking risks on their serve got them a few netballs but also a lead in the second set from 14-14. "Our goal was to put on the pressure with Maverick's serve", said Redmann, who finished the game with a smart angle shot.
"I still think that is really a point to improve on," added Hatch. "We really missed out on some serves. Fortunately they did the same."
Ben Saxton of Calgary and Chaim Schalk of Red Deer, Alta., also advance to the main draw defeating Emiel Boersma and Richard de Korgel of the Netherlands 21-12, 21-16 in their qualifier,
Saxton and Schalk are coming off a fifth place finish at the FIVB World Cup two weeks ago. This is the first time in four World Tour appearances this season they have advanced to the main draw.
The news wasn't as good on the women's side for Canada. Jaimie Broder of Victoria and Kristina Valjas of Toronto as well as Heather Bansley of Toronto and Sarah Pavan of Kitchener, Ont., did not win their qualifying matches.
Main draw action starts Wednesday.

There's energy conservation, and then there's energy efficiency. Both noble goals, of course, but there is a difference.

Question 8 of 20

almost fact: They use 20 percent less energy.
Question 10 of 20
If you're on the market for new home insulation, it's best to get one that has a high E-rating.

almost fact: Actually, you need to look for lower E-ratings.
Question 11 of 20
A programmable thermostat will save you about $90 a year.
almost fact: A new Energy Star refrigerator will save you about $90, a thermostat about half of that.
Question 12 of 20

You should have a lower temperature at night, but the Environmental Protection Agency says you need to go only 4 degrees lower.
almost fact: You should set a lower night temperature only if you live in a very warm climate.
Question 13 of 20
You'll save 4 to 8 percent on cooling costs for every degree that you lower your thermostat in the summer.
almost fact: That would be raise, not lower.
Raising your home's temperature in the summer and lowering it in the winter will save you money.
Question 14 of 20
You should change your HVAC filter every six months.

almost fact: The tax credit is only for improvements to existing homes, not for new homes.
For 2009 and 2010, you can get tax credits for energy-efficient improvements to an existing home -- 30 percent of the cost, up to $1,500 total, for new windows, doors, insulation, roofs, HVAC systems and water heaters.
Question 17 of 20
There are even better tax credits available for geothermal heat pumps, solar panels and solar water heaters.
Yes, there are tax credits for those items at 30 percent of the cost, with no upper limit, through 2016.
almost fact: It's the same deal as windows, doors, etc.
Question 18 of 20
You could see a 140 percent return on your money over 25 years if you install a solar power system.
It isn't cheap to install a solar power system, but a 140 percent return over 25 years is well within the expected range.
almost fact: You might be able to get a 100 percent return, but that's stretching it.
Question 19 of 20
According to EnergyStar.gov, 30 percent of energy in commercial and industrial buildings is used inefficiently or unnecessarily.
It is 30 percent, which is still pretty shocking, no?
almost fact: Try 70 percent.
Question 20 of 20
A 13-watt fluorescent light bulb emits the same amount of visible light as a 60-watt incandescent bulb.
Yep, 13-watt fluorescent equals a 60-watt incandescent.
almost fact: A 30-watt fluorescent bulb gives off the same light as a 60-watt incandescent bulb.

Social networking self-regulation isn't working says EU
Only two social networking sites make minors' profiles private by default, according to a test of 14 such sites conducted for the European Commission.
Only two social networking sites make minors' profiles private by default, according to a test of 14 such sites conducted for the European Commission.
According to press reports, AOL has finally got rid of its Bebo albatross.
First they came for Bebo and now it looks as if even larger rival MySpace is losing the battle against the social networking steamroller that is Facebook.
AOL is actively trying to rid itself of Bebo, the social-networking site it acquired two years ago for a whopping US$850 million.
Bebo is launching local-language versions of its social networking site in five European countries, offering premium video content via media partners, the company said Monday.
AOL's Bebo social-networking site will gain features for lifestreaming, an increasingly popular type of online service that lets people broadcast frequent, brief updates about their lives through photos, videos, blog items, comments and other content...

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I'm sad.....
"These shoes are SO CUTE!!!!! Unfortunately, they pinch my toes while at the same time have a gap in the back. The sides are quite stiff, also; I doubt they will reshape very easily. They just didn't fit my foot right, so I'll return them."

Very cute but not for me!
"I had been looking at those shoes every week for a couple of months before I decided to order them (waiting for a coupon). Unfortunately I am a 10.5 but they do not offer that size and they were out of 11. So I ordered the 10 thinking that it might fit as the other review said it ran a lil longer than usual.The shipping took less time than expected which is always a good thing. The shoes are super cute and looked perfect but they were a lil tight on the top of my foot and because they are fabric they are probably not going to stretch.Anyway, those shoes look great on your feet otherwise and they are true to the picture. Too sad I waited this long!!"

Punisher Lures Hail Mary 3pk
The Punisher Lures Hail Mary is the newest and most versatile bait in the Punisher arsenal. Designed to be fished many different ways, you can rig it in almost an infinite number of combinations. Each head is equipped with a split ring that can accommodate any size or style of hook, providing an endless list of soft plastic choices. The Hail Mary can even be complimented with a skirt for an even livelier look. Another great feature of the Hail Mary is that it allows the hook to move freely, making it more difficult for the fish to throw the bait, resulting in less lost fish. Jig it, Carolina Rig it, pitch it, drag it over deep humps, the possibilities are endless with the Punisher Lures Hail Mary!

Customer Reviews
Comments: Very nice. Holds up in saltwater. Note that it's a 3 pack, but only One head comes with a hook. The other two are hookless. Kinda bummed bout that, but still a good product
From: Dom: San Diego, CA 2/23/15
Comments: I've been buying these for several years and not one of them has ever rusted. These are superior to fixed hook competitor models. The split rings that come stock are adequate or beef them up with Owner Hyper Rings. You can customize with your favorite sized hooks to match any size plastics. One drawback however, is they pick up every piece of weed on the bottom. Use them on clean bottoms and they perform great. Use a Gamakatzu 5/0 worm hook with a Strike King DB Structure Bug and you will catch them big time.
From: Jigman: Dover, NH 11/18/14
Comments: Without a doubt - the most innovative swinging jig on the market ! Not only can you add a skirt or change hooks at will - further experimentation will lead to more bites . I add a short 2 inch fluorocarbon line extension to the ring and then tie on my hook - finally add a creature bait of your choice and purposely bang the Punisher Head into bottom obstacles ...What you get is a nice tight side to side deflection with more "hyper" action than a standard swinging jighead , football jig or carolina rig can provide . A fantastic tool to give bass something new they have not seen before , only limited by your imagination !
From: Chris: Acworth , GA.
Comments: Very versatile head, better than a biffle head because it allows you to add a skirt, this is a game changer

The aura of summer is glowing in this series of photos by photographer Antony Nobilo. His lovely subject, Elyse Taylor, wears outfits that almost completely incorporate some strong element of warm weather denim in contrasts to lacy tops and lots of bare skin. This is the work of stylist Sally Dixon, and we're loving every minute. Row-boating, snaping photos, and prancing through tall grass in nothing but a jean jacket and undies, the carefree spirit and dream-like haze around Elyse shows just how whimsical denim can be. Check out more of Nobilo's dreamy, sultry work at his photography site.

In the Realms of the Unreal
An innovative masterpiece that literally gives wings to one man's singular vision of an imaginary world. Henry Darger lived a reclusive life and died alone in a Catholic mission in 1973. For more than 60 years, he created a massive literary and graphic body of work, including The Realms of the Unreal, an epic, fifteen-thousand-page novel with hundreds of paintings that recounts the wars between nations on an enormous unnamed planet. Darger's keen sense of composition and vivid colors allowed him to create incredibly intense and beautiful illustrations, which are often disturbingly violent. Consciously excluding art experts and psychologists, Yu presents impressions of Darger's work only from the people who knew him, letting the audience make up their own minds about the man. The film cleverly parallels his real life with his fantasies, making the oddness of his fantasy world more accessible.
Cast: Dakota Fanning, Larry Pine, Henry Darger

Not bad...
"Very cute shoe, size is great, only thing I'm having a hard time with is the heel. Maybe if I wear them in a little more it won't hurt as much, but right now I feel like I need a bandaid on my ankle just to avoid the pain."

"These are a perfect height for girls who are not looking for super tall heels. The shoes look great on. I am still getting use to the straight cut in the front. Sometimes, your feet look a little funny. Once you adjust the top by smoothing out your skin, they look fine. They are a little tight, but I am hoping they will adjust over time."

ROCHESTER, NY -- The No. 2 RIT men's lacrosse team needed a big second half comeback to beat Ithaca College in the Empire 8 Tournament semfinals on Friday. The Tigers trailed 6-1 at the half, but rallied, outscoring the Bombers 12-3 in the second half to advance to their second straight Empire 8 Championship game. RIT will host Nazareth College in the title game on Sunday, May 8 at 12 pm.
Jordan MacIntosh (Oakville, ON/Holy Trinity) and Tyler Russell (Livonia, NY/Livonia) led the Tigers comeback with four goals apiece in the second half. Jordan Collins-Hartwig (Buffalo, NY/Clarence) also had a big second half, scoring three goals for the Tigers who come back from their fourth five-goal deficit of the season.
A.J. Tingle (Cary, NC/Green Hope) and Chris Cherami (Olwick, NJ/Seton Hall Prep) each had a pair of assists, while MJ Kiekebelt (Caledon, Ontario/St. Andrews College/Aurora) grabbed seven ground balls, caused three turnover and had a goal and an assist.
Bob Tonnessen (Ridgefield, CT/Ridgefield) improved to 16-0 on the season allowing nine goals and making nine saves. Tonnessen and the Tigers defense tightened in the second half, allowing just three Ithaca goals.
Ryan Lowe had three goals for the Bombers who fall to 9-8 in the season. Devin Weinshank had two goals and an assist and Jake Long added a pair of goals. David Gal took the loss for Ithaca allowing 13 goals and making 11 saves.
Ithaca came out aggressively in the first half, opening up a 2-0 lead after the first quarter, extending that lead to five goals into the second quarter.
The Tigers were held scoreless for the first 28:23 of the game until Kiekebelt scooped up the ground ball off a face-off and scored to cut the Bombers lead to 5-1.
Weinshank scored with 17 seconds remaining in the half to give Ithaca a 6-1 lead at the break.
Senior attack Iric Bressler (Stafford, VA/North Stafford) scored out of half time for RIT to cut the lead back to four goals at 6-2.
Lowe scored off an assist from Brian DiBetta at the 7:25 mark of the third quarter, bumping the Bombers lead back to five goals at 7-2.
RIT closed out the third quarter with one of their patented four-goal runs, pulling to within a goal on an unassisted goal by Collins-Hartwig. He spurred the comeback scoring two of the Tigers four goals in that stretch.
After a Weinshank goal made it 8-6 Ithaca, MacIntosh and Kiekebelt worked the one-two play off the face-off, resulting in a MacIntosh goal to pull the Tigers to within a goal at 8-7.
Lowe answered right back for the Bombers to make it 9-7.
From that point on, RIT dominated play, outscoring Ithaca 6-0 over the final 11:12 of the game. MacIntosh and Russel provided the offensive power for the Tigers, scoring two and three goals respectively in that run.
Russell's goal with 10:38 remaining tied the score at 9-9. MacIntosh gave the Tigers thier first lead of the game with 10:17 to play. Russel and Colling-Hartwig added insurance goals later in the quarter for the Tigers.
Shots were even at 35 apiece. RIT won the ground ball battle 35-27 and were 17-of-25 on face-offs. Senior Doug Hemink (Rochester, NY/Churchville-Chili) won 10-of-17 draws, while MacIntosh was 7-of-8.
The Tigers were a perfect 12-for-12 on clears, whiel Ithaca was 16-of-19. RIT had 11 turnovers and Ithaca had 12.
RIT and Nazareth will face each other for the second time in as many weeks. The Tigers defeated the Golden Flyers 13-5 back on April 30 to close out the regular season. The winner of Sunday's game earns the automatic berth into the NCAA Division III Tournament. RIT is vying for its third Empire 8 crown and second in a row, while the Golden Flayers play for an unprecedented eighth Empire 8 championship.

Cute shoe but too small
"I really liked this sandal because it was comfortable and looked very nice on. However, it ran too small. I tried the next size up and the band across the foot was looser than the other and I didn't want to take a chance of it stretching out so much that it fell off my foot. Wish they had fit better."

Mixed review
"I like the look and the angle of the wedge isn't as bad as I thought it would be only..., the designed leather scratches the top of my foot so I have to put a band aid before wearing it all day. The weird thing is, it's only the left side that scratches."

Hello all,
Every other Friday, the folks at Imaginary Numbers will be answering four of our questions. I would like to gather a portion of these questions from you the fans. Feel free to post your questions here.
Also, be aware, that Tactica developers will be here to follow the ongoing discussions.

I have read the great interview on Tactica Online (TO) and here is my question: <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Because this is a turn-based strategy MMO, I am very interested in TO. Games like Final Fantasy Tactics (Playstation) and Front Mission 4 really made me look forward to playing more games like this. My question is how will movement be in TO? I examined one screenshot were it seemed like the player dragged a path for the character and the path was shown by green dots. If that is how character movement go, is there a limit to movements you can make? Kind of like how in some turn-based strategy games, there are squares and a number of squares you can move into based on experience and/or gear?

RISING DRAGOON ~AION US ONLINE LEGION for Elyos
I'd like to know how advanced the options will be for character appearance. It would be rather lame to have a lot of 5 man squads that all have people that are very similar in appearance. So things like height, weight, sex, age, facial hair, head hair, special scars, tattoos, etc. that players can modify would be nice.
The concept of turn based strategy in an mmorpg is exciting. I'm a big fan of chess and go. Strategy games are lots of fun. Hack and slash becomes boring even in pvp. Although from what I learned from the Q&A it seems like your characters never receive new skills or abilities, or equipment, and the player just has to master using them in the most effective way possible to overcome enemies. Does this mean the storyline is going to be really awesome? Something worthy of a great novel even? I'll tell you what I'm most tired of in mmorpg's and it's the lack of a good story. Something immersive and fun. Perhaps if people hired talented writers to develop story arcs for their games.
It is pathos we lack, and this lack of pathos makes the worlds we explore quite stale.
We know there are three factions: science, magic, and divine. Will teams only consist of units and skills from one of those 3? Will a player be able to switch at will between the three. This week I'm supporting magic, but next week I will play a divine team. - sort of found the answer in an interview:
"Some players may prefer using the lore of magic, resulting in their victories supporting the cause of the mystics - and their losses detracting from it. Some may prefer the research of science, some the doctrine of faith, and some a combination of all three. Who you are is up to you."
The question still remains, who do you support if you use a combination of all three.
Most turn based games on the market are limited to 1:1 player battles, does Tactica Online breakaway from this tradition and allow multiplayer combats?
How much can you customize your squad?
How big impact does equipment have? (usable items, weapons, armor etc)
Character development, will it be the same for all players with the difference that higher level means higher stats?
Well I finally decided to join the website, been coming here for about a year and never thought I really needed an account until now. I wanted to know a little about this game I have played tactic based games for well over 12 years now, guess a lot of you played final fantasy tactics and such which is a great game and had a great story but I started back on the sega genesis with the shining force series and vandal hearts on PS was a good one as well.
But anyways too my question, its quite simple, now this game from what I can tell so far, I am still perusing there website, that there will be the map travelling and such and the whole game is rendered in 3d which is cool, but when it comes to the actual battles, is terrain going to be a factor, would my archers do more damage and be more accurate if they were standing on high ledges and such. Will there be different formations for the melee troops, I know having them charge against Archers is good but if you group them close with shields they should take less damage on the charge provided they block the shots. And I'm guessing with the science ages there may also be gunpowder, is it possible to have mortors or siege engines, I would just like to more about the units that I will be able to use and the tactical advantages and disadvantages, now that is a lot to ask in a question of course but just the jist of it would be good to know.
Thanks for your time, I'll check on this later to see if there is anything else I would like to add.
I can't say 'Thank-you' enough to the devs of Tactica for breaking away from the mold and daring to do something different. Major love to a production such as this, as tactical combat has always been a pet favourite of mine, as have MMO's, but all MMO's of late have become 'stale'.
My question is related to 'meaningful PvP', by that I mean, will we have player ran / controlled cities or capture points? Will there be quests that each of the factions come at from opposing angles? Such as perhaps the followers of faith wishing to protect a 'holy' relic, those of the magic path wish to use it as a spell focus, while those of the science wish to discover what makes it tick, etc. In short, will there be more to PvP than a simple 'because-you-can' mentality?
An alternative question is post-release content updates. Purely expansion pack driven? Asheron's Call style free updates every month (yay)? Or more NCSoft style once in a blue moon?
Naithin, we hope everyone feels the same way! I've left your other question for the Q&A, but this was one I wanted to cover too.
Regular expansion sets are important to Tactica Online. They're how we'll keep gameplay fresh, and they're how we move the story forward, not to mention how we avoid having to charge a monthly subscription fee. We're not yet ready to announce how frequent they'll be, but it's likely there will be more than one a year, and they'll include a huge amount of content.
That doesn't mean updates will be restricted to expansion sets - story updates, mission sets, and skill tweaks are all likely to be done more frequently.
Another quick answer for your question, Silicor: A mission can have lots of people in it, though there becomes a point, usually around half a dozen squads - which could mean anywhere from 6 to 30 players - at which turns simply take too long. There's nothing to say that just because a particular mission started with two people that no one else can ever join, either.
Some more questions from the Tactica Masters forums:
whwestman - We are starving for good turn-based rpg's out here. Any chance of a single player or offline version of Tactica?
Silicor - Is there a cost to making new characters and is there any limit to the number of characters you can have?
Silicor - Will there be npcs in the missions and if so, have you started work on the AI
Silicor - Are there plans to track statistics by player and by character like number of kills, number of deaths, number of missions played....
Silicor - How much luck is involved in the combat?
Will we have a "King"? Or will victory/defeat be detemined by one side completely annihilating the other? By "King", I mean will one of our characters be the leader, and if he or she falls I will lose the battle. If there is a leader will he or she be a unique class? If there is a leader but he or she won't be a unique class will the leader be the first character I create, or will I be able to choose who the leader of my group is?
This question also brings up another question. How will death be handled? If my soldier dies in battle do I lose him or her permanently, and I'll have to go buy a new soldier to replace him or her? Or will it be a sorta "Civil War Re-inactment" where during the battle the soldier will die but once the battle is over we all get up and have a beer? Or will it be something similar to Shattered Galaxies where after the battle the dead soldier will be "wounded", and I wont be able to use that character again unless I go to a "medic" and have him healed, or there will be a recovery period of like a rl hour or something?
How will I keep track of my friends.
Also, can I take 3 guys from my squad, and say my buddy takes 3 from his squad, can we go battle together? If so, how are the "rewards" split between players?
Also for loosing battles, will you loose items? money?
Those are pretty short questions, if anyone wants to spice them up i would be happy !
I love tactics games. I just bought stella dues. Ive always wanted an online version. I cant wait !
You gotta love an Online Tactics game where you have to be smart and adaptive instead of just having no life I'm sure that more then a few of the current MMO crowd is fed up with the Grind and ready to just have fun from day one...
There are more great questions than the bi-weekly Q&A's can handle, and I don't want them to fall by the wayside, so here are a couple more responses.
Silicor, no immediate plans for a single player offline version.
There will be NPCs in missions, but not as opponents. They'll be targets, allies, and obstacles, and because they won't be participating in combat directly their behavior will be scripted rather than managed by a broader AI.
Statistics will be available on everything - kills, wins, missions, titles earnt, experience spent, etc. You won't be able to see it all for other players, but you will be able to see much of it, and it will help you research opponents for big tournaments.
JelloB2000, equipment has a big impact on what sort of squad you might want to build, but not in terms of how powerful you are. Rather, some types of equipment let you focus in particular areas more than would otherwise be possible, allowing squad designs that are very skewed towards a particular style of play, while other types of equipment give you entirely new types of actions, most of which are very combo-intensive. For example, traps that have different effects depending on the actions you've taken just before they're triggered (which can get interesting when you don't control when they're triggered).
Level and class is a full discussion in itself, which might be best left for a Q&A, but quickly, there's only the barest relationship between the amount of experience a character has had spent upon them and their stats. Think of experience as a way to customize your characters, not make them more powerful. What's going to make them more powerful is the way you combine their skills, and the combos you can pull off in combat.
Keep the questions coming, it's great to see the areas that particularly interest people (and the areas we need to be clearer in explaining!).
How will the terrain effect combat?

Silicor found a passage in the interviews that answered my death question; however, I haven't heard anything about my "King" question.
Also, something has confused me for a while now. You've said that you'll be a skill-based game. But, your screenshots show classes (Paladin, Dervish, and Cleric).
Will this be like UO and AC where the skill determines what class you are?
Or, will the class be a starting template of skills?
Or, will it be similar to AO where the class determines how well a character can learn a skill or not?
Example: say a Paladin is an expert in Melee Fighting so the melee skills will cost less XP than normal to train, whereas, being unfamiliar with ranged combat, he or she will spend more XP than normal to train a ranged weapon.
Will the class of the character determine whether or not he or she can use skills in a particular field.
Example: Will the clash between Science and Religion make it so that my Cleric will refuse to use any "heretical" equipment and in learning such heretical views; thus, Clerics can't use skills in the Science field?
More questions from Tactica Masters:
(submitted by Silicor)
Can you give us an overview of how quests and missions will move the story forward. Also if there will be choices each player makes that will impact their future game experience. For example: choosing to support the church in Mission A against science will give you a higher church faction rating and more church missions, but hurt your science rating.
(submitted by Silicor)
Will there be money in game and if so, how will it be earned?
Every mmorpg out there has some form of currency, but I have seen no mention of money in Tactical Online. It seems like there should be money if players can buy items.
(submitted by Majidah)
This might be digging too deep into the game too early, but will there be some forms of psychology in the game, e.g. fear and bravery, fuge and berserk. The discussion of morale and leadership benefits in the "king" thread put me in mind of this.
These psych effects could also be the basis of the sort of "crowd control" abilities common to other pvp games.

Are units visible to your opponent before they are spotted, or can players see everything that is on the board?
I'm wondering how the faction battles will influence the Story as a whole...There would have to be some kind of balencing factor to prevent one side from dominating while still giving winners a sence of making progress.
I'm also concerned that there will be no AI battles...I am slight worried that having battles require another real player might limit your ability to play when you want esp since this is a slightly new game concept....perhaps you could have some kind of practice mode or area to try out new tactics and combos against AI oppenents.
Im concerned with some of the inherent technological issues.
How much will lag affect the gameplay?
What happens if a player disconnects during a combat encounter?
How scalable will the graphics be? (With graphic-lag in mind)
Are the Offical Forums coming up sometime in June? I was told May, but I'm hoping that you guys are still somewhat on your timetable and are planning on getting them up this month....
On the overview page:
"Building and refining the capabilities of your team is an important element of Tactica Online, similar to designing a deck in a collectible card game. "
I hope this will not mean that the expansions are distributed like collectible card games. Where you have to buy more packs to be competitive on a high level.

Rich in essential fatty acids (EFAs), it helps heal chapped, cracked skin, restoring softness and suppleness. Unique flavor utilizes key herbs from the Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia. Made with Kokum Butter, a nourishing emollient rich in essential fatty acids Heals chapped lips, restores softness Each unique flavor utilizes key herbs to enhance and protect delicate lip area Health is Beauty. Beauty is Health:Better Botanicals products combine the technology of modern skin care with the holistic wisdom of Ayurvedic herbal care. Ayurveda is the oldest and most widely practiced school of herbal medicine in the world. Better botanicals products are like herbal prescriptions for your skin - they deliver both beauty and health. Use them to rediscover your skin's youthful radiance. Better Botanicals Frequently Asked Questions How do you choose which herbs to use?The herbs are chosen because they have a long history of successful use in skin and hair care: Better Botanicals' products are based on "Ayurveda." It is the world's oldest and most widely practiced school of herbal medicine, originating in India 5,000 years ago. Most of their products are manufactured under Ayurvedic license (distinct from a cosmetic license). Ayurveda determines the herbal blends and the herbs determine product aesthetics. Ayurveda determines the herbs, the herbs determine both efficacy and aesthetics. Efficacy is the primary reason they use the herbs they do. Many of the herbs are so specific to their Indian origin, they don't even have English names. Pick up the hair oil and read the 8 herbs from Bhringraj to Jataamansi. Bhringraj is a great example - this is a Sanskrit word. The Hindi word is "Keshraja", which literally translated means "ruler of the hair." This herb has been used for so long as a hair tonic that its very name reflects its use! Are Better Botanicals Products 100% Natural?Although some of their products are, Better Botanicals has never claimed to be 100% natural. Most of their products are between 98 and 99.5% natural. Better Botanical products are so natural that color variations might be seen from batch to batch. This is especially true of the more colorful products, such as the Rose-Tulsi Toner (note: it is the Kamala which makes it red, not rosewater, which is not red). The changes in color reflect the season in which the herbs were grown, how much sunlight and water the herbs received, etc. The change in color is one of the signs of a truly natural product. There are, however, 2 ways to alter this: Use a chemical color to make it uniform from batch to batch, which they cannot do under the Ayurvedic license, nor would they want to Put the product in an opaque bottle so you can't see it, which is against their philosophy of openness Color variations are often considered a "badge of honor" when considering a natural product! What makes your products effective?The difference is that Better Botanicals uses the herbs in their natural form. For example, one Amla fruit, about as big as a walnut, has as much Vitamin C as 26 oranges. Therefore, they use Amla extract, instead of synthesized Vitamin C, in their Amla Shine Shampoo. The US government initiated the planting of Amla plantations in Florida during WWII as a source of Vitamin C in case it became scarce during the war. Better Botanicals believe that things are more effective when used in their natural form for 2 key reasons: Synthesized ingredients tend to break down and lose efficacy more easily (they are less stable because they are simpler compounds) In their natural form, elements work together in a more complex fashion to achieve greater efficacy (like the example of meadowsweet, which yields the chemical formula for aspirin, but works with other natural compounds to provide buffering agents for the stomach) What is the difference between Better Botanicals and other product lines?The products are HERBAL. Many product lines claim to be herbal, however, here is the Better Botanicals difference: For an herbal product to have any functional value, a very high herbal content is needed. Their herbal content ranges from 15% (shampoo) to 100% (steams). Their moisturizers have a 30 - 35% herbal content. Other products out there add an herbal "image ingredient" (1 or 2%) and then make an alpha-hydroxy the active ingredient. With Better Botanicals, the herbs are the active ingredients and are selected based on efficacy. Better Botanicals does not add anything for fragrance or color. The herbs that are selected by BB and Ayurvedic physicians determine the fragrance and color. About Better BotanicalsAt Better Botanicals, their goal is to provide the purest herbal skin care possible. They use no synthetic colors or fragrances, no alcohol, no "bandwagon" ingredients, mineral oil or animal ingredients. They test only on happy, human volunteers. Better Botanicals are committed to providing these products at a price point affordable to more people. Everyone deserves the opportunity to use natural skin care at its best without breaking the pocketbook. Launched nationally in 1998, Better Botanicals products are based on "Ayurveda." It is the world's oldest and most widely practiced school of herbal medicine, originating in India 5,000 years ago. Most of their products are manufactured under Ayurvedic license (distinct from a cosmetic license). Ayurveda determines the herbal blends and the herbs determine product aesthetics. Their concept is to infuse nature's healing qualities into each preparation to help stimulate the skin's natural ability to find its way back to balanced health. Better Botanicals credo is 'care, not camouflage.' They rely on Ayurveda's pure, balancing herbs to offer products that work with the body's natural rhythm and intelligence to enhance both health and beauty. Better Botanicals are a condensed line of products and intend to stay simple. Because they are not a "treatment line" per se, they can capitalize on the purity, efficacy, and functionality of the products. They are committed to education and lending support to their stores as often as needed. One of the more positive aspects of a small line is the ability to create and maintain closer relationships with customers. Every opportunity Better Botanicals has to educate is an opportunity to sell.

Surprise Yourself
Tennessee Shakespeare Company Announces Fifth Performance Season
Memphis, Tenn. (August 15, 2012) – – Tennessee Shakespeare Company (TSC), led by Producing Artistic Director Dan McCleary, today announced its fifth performance season. The Mid-South's professional, classical theatre and education organization will focus on Hamlet as its seasonal theme, expand its education programming throughout the Mid-South and the state, return to Germantown Performing Arts Centre with a Broadway headliner for its Fourth Annual Valentine's Gala, partner once again with Dixon Gallery & Gardens and the Poplar Pike Playhouse, and launch its second phase of amphitheatre design with Shelby Farms Park in Memphis.
Record-Setting Season Four
TSC's recently concluded fourth season, Brave New World, was a record-setting programmatic, financial, and artistic success. The season featured double the number of performances from the previous season and a balanced operating budget that increased by nearly 60%.
In addition to the four indoor/outdoor professional mainstage productions during 2011-12, TSC successfully toured two schools productions (one of them original), created two co-productions with Shakespeare Walla Walla in Washington state, and produced its Valentine's Gala featuring Broadway composer Charles Strouse which netted more than $100,000 for TSC's education and performance programming. TSC also partnered with Shelby Farms Park to provide initial renovations to its Wooden O Amphitheatre for a professional pilot season, brought nearly 12,000 patrons to its performances from three states, and produced a cumulative economic impact on its community of over $3 million.
The mission of TSC's Education program is to move the arts closer to the center of every child's learning experience. TSC achieves this through student matinees, accompanying study guides, and actor talk-backs; interactive playshops; touring productions; summer camps; residencies; Free Will Kids' Nights; High School Prelude Scenes; and active participation in theatre and education conferences.
Season Sponsors: The Dunbar Abston Fund for Sustainable Excellence, Barbara B. Apperson and The Barbara Apperson Angel Fund, ArtsMemphis, Nancy and Dan Copp, FedEx Corporation, Independent Bank, Jack and Sandra Jones, City of Germantown, Germantown Performing Arts Centre, Milton T. Schaeffer, the Family of Margaret and Owen Tabor, Sr., Audrey L. Taylor
Season Partners: Dixon Gallery & Gardens, Germantown High School, Poplar Pike Playhouse, Shelby Farms Park Conservancy, St. George's Episcopal Church
Since 2007, TSC has achieved 100,000 student interactions through these activities. These interactions represent 70 schools in three states. Last season, TSC engaged 46 Memphis-area schools and nearly 8,000 students in its professional, classical education programming. Students under 19 years of age also made up over one-half of TSC's patrons this past year.
Last season, TSC furthered its education mission through a pilot program conducted at Germantown High School. The pilot objective was for a TSC actor/teaching artist to introduce interactively the characters and opening situation of Romeo and Juliet to the entire ninth grade student body – nearly 1,000 students. The pilot has become a model for multi-school replication.
"Tennessee Shakespeare Company's fourth season is not an easy one to follow," says founder Dan McCleary, "and what a wonderful challenge to be handed!
"I am particularly proud of our company's and Board's creativity and innovation in producing our plays this past season. Every event was a pilgrimage that required grit, grace, determination, creative vision, and illumination. Each production plumbed new theatrical and philosophical depths for our audiences, and it inspired our patrons, students, and donors to tell me over and over how 'surprised' they were to discover something personal for them in the plays
"We are focusing on this act of surprise, and even delight, in our fifth season of programming. There are few more delightful surprises in humanity than when we discover what makes us unique. In Shakespeare's works, a search for the authentic self and the question of how one must live his or her life is deeply experienced in his play that not only changed the theatre but also awakened humanity's awareness of itself: Hamlet."
Season Five Programming
McCleary will direct Hamlet in an elegant Edwardian production inside Dixon Gallery & Gardens from April 3 – 14, 2013. The intimate, 10-actor piece will use the luxurious Dixon interior as the Prince of Denmark's home as he frames now-famous questions of life and death in dialogue with the audience.
Also playing inside the Dixon Gallery from December 6 –16, 2012, is an exciting, new family experience of It's a Wonderful Life: a Live Radio Play adapted from the Frank Capra holiday film by Joe Landry. The Dixon's Winegardner Auditorium becomes a festive, 1946 cabaret setting for the radio play that will be broadcast live around the country. Complete with period commercials, table seating, drinks, and holiday sing-a-longs, It's a Wonderful Life features George Bailey asking his own Hamlet questions when faced with financial ruin. Angel 2nd Class Clarence Odbody intervenes with heart-warming success in this endearing story worth re-visiting every year. Stephanie Shine directs.
Kicking off the season is the internationally-acclaimed hilarity of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) by Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield. Featuring three clowning actors, the show takes audiences swiftly and absurdly through Shakespeare's 37 plays in just 97 minutes – with special emphasis on a revised version (both forward and backward) of Hamlet. Considered the play that perfectly brings together audiences who both love and loathe Shakespeare, the TSC production presents the insanity out of love for its namesake. In attempting to play out the entire canon as quickly and hilariously as they can, the actors also find themselves improvising with a little local influence.
Complete Works, directed by Dan McCleary, will be played at the Poplar Pike Playhouse (where TSC's record-setting Midsummer Night's Dream played in 2009) featuring David Goldstein (TSC's Southern Yuletide), Amelia Hammond (TSC's The Tempest), and improvisational comedian Sam Reiff-Pasarew from NYC's Story Pirates and Striking Vikings.
On February 8, 2013, TSC will present its romantic Fourth Annual Valentine's Gala at GPAC, featuring a Broadway headliner soon to be announced.
In addition to the professional season, TSC will conduct its Statewide Schools Tour of its newly-created show, Shakespeare's Greatest Hits (a fun performance piece that introduces students to a playwright they are surprised to discover they already know) from October 25 – April 19, 2013. TSC's Mid-South Schools Tour of its self-created Rebel Shakespeare and His Women will tour January 14 – February 1, 2013. Three men play all the women's roles, as in Shakespeare's day, to trace the surprising development of the playwright through his writing. School reservations may be made now by calling TSC's Education Manager Slade Kyle at (901) 759-0620.
The 2011-12 pilot performance season produced on the outdoor Wooden O amphitheatre at Shelby Farms Park proved so artistically successful that a second phase of design has begun in partnership with the SFP Conservancy. The Shakespeare in the Park series drew record attendance and many first-time patrons. Throughout the upcoming season, scope of work and cost estimates will begin in an effort to bring basic infrastructure to the site for public and professional use.
In Memoriam, Audrey L. Taylor
The Board of Directors and TSC lost one of its founding Board members in May, Mrs. Audrey L. Taylor (1917-2012). The company of TSC's season-ending production of The Glass Menagerie acknowledged Mrs. Taylor following each of its performances in May and June, and TSC will honor her and her devotion to Shakespeare throughout the 2012-13 season.
"Audrey was a loving, personal friend and a generous caretaker of Tennessee Shakespeare Company," says McCleary. "She was one of our founding members who made the company financially viable in the early years and sustainable in each successive year – including this one. Her trust in us inspired many others to support our work. She lived a glorious and long life, and we miss her dearly. Her love and generosity will be remembered at every production."
On sale August 15. All performances are $25 in advance and $30 day-of-show.
Preview Tickets: All previews are $15 regardless of when purchased.

Join Us for the First Southern Literary Salon of the Season:
Eudora Welty: Mississippi Myth
January 27
We return to our popular Southern Literary Salon for a look at the ever-changing vision of the Pulitzer Prize-winning, life-long daughter of Jackson, Mississippi.
Please join us for Eudora Welty: Mississippi Myth at Nancy Copp's hidden though welcoming Germantown home on Friday, January 27 from 6:00-8:00pm.
The evening features fun Southern food, conversation, thirty minutes or so of readings from Welty's works, and a mixed spirit of the author's liking. Tickets for the Welty Salon only are $55 and include all of the above. Tickets for the Welty and Flannery O'Connor Salon (April 21), when purchased together, are only $100 (a savings of $10).
Curated and read by TSC artist Stephanie Shine, assisted by actors Dan McCleary, Jillian Barron, and Marquis Archuleta, Mississippi Myth will employ text from among Welty's works, likely including her short stories in A Curtain of Green, The Wide Net, and The Golden Apples, and the novels The Ponder Heart and award-winning The Optimist's Daughter.
Welty (1909-2011) described writing fiction as "a personal act of vision." She was widely popular as a writer and photographer from her lifelong home in Jackson, though her literary home seemed to be nestled in experimentation. Her vast skill-set ranged from comedy to tragedy, realistic to surreal, fiction to biography, fairy tale to history. Welty was recognized for her work with 40 major literary awards, 38 honorary doctorate degrees, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
"It had been startling and disappointing to me," wrote Welty, "to find out that story books had been written by people, that books were not natural wonders, coming up of themselves like grass. Yet regardless of where they come from, I cannot remember a time when I was not in love with them -- with the books themselves, cover and binding and the paper they were printed on, with their smell and their weight and with their possession in my arms, captured and carried off to myself. Still illiterate, I was ready for them, committed to all the reading I could give them ..."Read More

Tennessee Shakespeare Company
Announces Full Ninth Season of Plays and Educational Activities for 2016-17
(Memphis, TN; August 11, 2016) -- Tennessee Shakespeare Company, the Mid-South's professional, classical theatre, today announced its full 2016-17 season of plays, outreach programs, and Education initiatives in the Memphis area and beyond.
Launching TSC's ninth season is its first production of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. Directed by TSC Founder and Producing Artistic Director Dan McCleary, the adaptation will perform in the Wiener Theater on the campus of Hutchison School in East Memphis from September 20 through October 2. The play is produced in partnership with Hutchison. The cast of 20 actors features Broadway veteran Patrick Ryan Sullivan as Atticus Finch, Memphian Ainsley Geno as Scout, and the return of TSC favorite Tony Molina, Jr. as Rev. Sykes.
Early Bird tickets are on sale now for To Kill a Mockingbird: the first 24 seats sold to each performance will be located in the new Best Seats section of the theatre.
In the winter, TSC returns to Dixon Gallery & Gardens for the holiday season with an elegant, celebratory Much Ado About Nothing befitting the season of cheer. Shakespeare's romantic comedy, directed by McCleary, plays on the Winegardner Auditorium stage December 8-18.
The fun continues in early summer with Shakespeare's boisterous comedy of mistaken identities. The Comedy of Errors, produced in partnership with the University of Memphis' Department of Theatre & Dance, will play the U of M mainstage June 8-18, 2017.
The Southern Literary Salons return, featuring the works of Eudora Welty (Mississippi Myth) on January 27 and Flannery O'Connor (Georgia Gothic) on April 21. These literary parties in beautiful, private homes from 6:00-8:00 pm curate readings, light fare, and writer-specific libations.
Back by popular demand is The Shakespeare Brunch, featuring abbreviated, staged readings of a redemptive The Winter's Tale (November 20) and a provocative The Merchant of Venice (May 21) preceded by an expansive brunch buffet and bar. Acted by some of TSC's best-known actors, the Brunches run from 12:30-3:30 pm inside the elegant Memphis Hunt & Polo Club.
The season also includes the Eighth Annual Shakespeare Gala, bringing to Memphis a new Broadway headliner on Friday, March 10, 2017, at Germantown Performing Arts Center. The Gala, complete with lavish dinner and open bars located throughout the theatre, supports TSC's nationally-acclaimed Education Program.
This season, the Education Program significantly expands its anti-violence schools residency and performance schedule of The Romeo and Juliet Project. Nine actor/teaching-artists will work in over 20 schools, largely underserved, in Shelby County from September through February, reaching more than 6,000 students. Shakespeare's Greatest Hits, a fun 2-actor introduction to the playwright's essential scenes and soliloquies, will tour schools and theatres throughout the southeastern United States. Both productions are created and directed by TSC Education Director Stephanie Shine.
TSC's generous Mainstage title sponsors include FedEx; Dorothy O. Kirsch; Ernest, Pat, Martha, & Marian Kelly; Independent Bank; Tennessee Arts Commission; Ann and Wellford Tabor; and The University of Memphis.
TSC's season partners are Dixon Gallery & Gardens, Hutchison School, Shelby County Schools, St. George's Church, and the University of Memphis' Department of Theatre & Dance. The season is funded under a Grant Contract with the State of Tennessee.
"Our ninth season is a response both to the world's recent events and to our patrons' desires," says McCleary. "To Kill a Mockingbird is an American masterpiece of the 20th Century. It is time for each of us to pick up Harper Lee's novel and read or re-read it. In Much Ado About Nothing, we are a nation of peace at home and abroad, and in this dream we go pleasure-seeking. Still, uninhibited love is surprisingly difficult to give away in this environment, to both comedic and tragic effect. And in Comedy of Errors, famous for its physical and archetypal humor, we find ourselves in a world in which the mortal threat to immigrants cannot prevent this non-traditional family, even after years of separation, from making a heart-felt discovery.
"I am deeply grateful to our season sponsors, production partners, and over 300 donors who make professional, classical theatre and our education programming possible. The work we do with children in our schools is immediate, impactful, proven, and a powerful model for successful replication throughout the United States. We live in a time when the arts, and experiencing Shakespeare's plays, need to be at the center of our national educational curriculum, not subsisting on the fringes. They are not a luxury, they are for everyone. The works of William Shakespeare are our birthright, and if they are supported educationally and financially then we see first-hand how our children enthusiastically embrace his compassion, his poetry, and his open-hearted query of humanity."Read More
