Thread: Derrick Mason
Derrick Mason
I love his cajones for giving it a run but the guy cost us 11 points today because he can't raise his left arm above his shoulder.
There was a TD pass perfectly thrown on the goal line that Mason only got his right hand up for because he couldn't raise his left. It was an easy TD. Instead we settle for a FG, -4 points.
Then of course the one that bounced off his helmet that was picked for a TD. If he has a working left arm he catches that ball out in front of his face instead of having it bang off his helmet. Another -7 points, total of -11.
The guy can only catch balls thrown into his gut and was a liability out there today on those two occasions. If he is going to play we shouldn't call any routes except curls and outs that he can catch with his body.

Re: Derrick Mason
I do not see Mason as the reason the game was lost. I would agree that the football off his helmet was a major problem and he needed to catch that ball, however Mason was not the reason we lost.
We lost due to the fact that our D was unable to stop the run and get us the ball back. I look forward to the HOME games now!

Re: Derrick Mason
Mason is the only receiver who can get open, and catch the ball in a crowd! I'd rather have a one-armed Mason out there, then any of our other so-called receivers!"Grab those pusillanimous sons-a-bitches by the nose and kick 'em in the balls.." General George S. Patton

Re: Derrick Mason
Mason is fine!How long has he been the sure handed receiver we needed?The man made no excuses and kudos to him for going out there with a fucked up shoulder and having some kind of stomach illness Saturday night.I'm just glad this happened on a day where everything seemed to be going wrong.i mean am i going to read a thread about how our linebackers suck because they could'nt tackle a dummy yesterday?
Look mason will make that catch 9 out of 10 times.On that pass he got both hands up and just whiffed.There is no need to question him or that shoulder.The catch in the endzone was tough.yea,i wanted a catch out of him there too.The thing is after taking the hit he did last week i think it was in the back of his mind.He will shake it off and come back strong.
Re: Derrick Mason
We got beat by the better team. No question about that. I didnt truly expect a win but it still hurts to lose.
We were in the game in the 3rd down 20-10, driving the ball down field. That INT for 6 off of Mason iced it, but we lost the game in the first half. The D over pursued, and just didnt come up with the "game changing" play you need to beat an elite team in their house. Stover kicking the FG 4 feet off the ground didnt help either. Cant make mistakes like that in that type of game.
Re: Derrick Mason
I am not blaming Mason for the loss.
Mason is fine!How long has he been the sure handed receiver we needed?
If that drives ends in a score we are back in the game. If we had the other 4 points that drive might have given us the lead.
Now we couldn't stop the run and couldn't effectively run, so we lost there as well. But Mason should not have been on the field yesterday.
Look mason will make that catch 9 out of 10 times.
Re: Derrick Mason
Regarding the topic, I think this is why people make the argument for a bigger receiver. A tall receiver makes both of those catches that Mason couldn't.
Re: Derrick Mason
A big explosive reciever is the perfect compliment to Mason, not a replacement for him.

Re: Derrick Mason
Other then the botched pass that bounced off him for a pick 6, I dont recall a time yesterday (or the rest of the season for that matter) where Mason stands out in a bad light.
I think you're being too hard on the guy. Even the best have bad days. It was just Mason's turn yesterday at a very inopportune time.

I agree with you in principle, Gerg...But I think Flacco needs to understand also that Mason was playing impaired and thus his workload could have been managed better.
I am sorry I didn't save the play on my DVR, I rewound it several times to affirm what I thought I saw. I watched Mason the rest of the game and he never once lifted his left arm and if you notice continually avoided hits. The guy has balls, I am sure he was and is still hurting big time, but if he can't make a catch on a ball thrown eye-level he shouldn't be on the field.

Dingbatter 2 wrote:Old school basic "pattering" is based on a 30 inch circle at 40 yards. Percentage of pellets within the 30 inch circle. You have to know how many total pellets are in the load, which is available if you dig deep enough, or cut some open, count them, and get an average. Full 65-75%; IM 55-65, Modified (Skeet No. 2) 45-55; IC 35-45; Cylinder (Skeet No. 1) 25-35%. One important point is just because a particular choke is labeled as such, does not mean that is what it throws. The same with constriction. A Mod choke may actually throw a Full or even an IC. That is the importance of patterning your gun with a variety of loads. Anyway, that is the basic way of "pattering" a shotgun.
apexhunter wrote:Also it is not just the percentage of pellets within the circle but the distribution of those pellets. A "good" pattern will have the appropriate number of pellets within the circle and those pellets should be evenly distributed as to not create holes that a target or bird can escape through. It will take a few shots at virgin paper to determine the average pattern the particular load and choke combination throws.
Do note that a particular choke can and most likely will throw different patterns with different loads so once you find a good combination stick with it.

Leaves are on the trees.
Flower buds are nodding,
Swayed by gentle breeze.
Loving hearts are happy
While we work and play.
God is in the heaven;
Joyous is our day.
In sky and land and river wide,
The work of God I see;
Oh, may my heart be full of thanks
For all he gives to me.
2. Birds are in the treetops;
Bees go humming by.
Songs of joy, ascending,
Echo in the sky.
Ev'rywhere is beauty;
Life is at its morn.
Praise to God we offer

well there are actually several options:
What I do is have a firewall box which is dedicated and has 2 nic cards so all traffic passes through the box. so its set up like this
Web > modem > firewall > router > lan
Then the 2 nics are bridged so that there is only one as far as the computer knows. Then I can use the box to run tcpdump or whatever logging program I want on that interface. You can then write a simple program and database to log only http traffic and write it to a file or database and have it clean itself out every week or month or whatever. Most firewall distros also have graphical tools in them to monitor traffic and such.
The other way is to have a IDS box and use a tap which is basically 4 rj45 connector set up in such a way that the line is "taped". I don't have one of these but several people on the forum use them.
A third option would be to use a third party firmware like ddwrt or openwrt on a linksys router and use that as your gateway if were talking about a small network. You can run the same tcpdump on one of those and write the file to a desktop computer or some thing.
Hope that helps.

Does anybody notice that Darth Vader's helmet looks shorter in the Hoth scene in ESB than in other shots? I call it his "haircut helmet" cuz it looks like the bottom end of the back piece has been trimmed upwards. There's another scene in ROTJ where you notice it as well but I can't remember which one off the top of my head.
So yeah, anybody else see this? Was it a stunt helmet?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|No advice, but did want to welcome you
|Thanks guys. Its not a fear thing but seems to be a hate thing with her. I will definately be trying to start over with her. I have an alskan malamute male which is the only dog she will tolerate and play with. She plays really rough but he just lets her do it. She does race at him barking alot if he comes into the same room that we are all watching tv or if she is laying in my bedroom. Its like she gets jealous and over protective. She is an amazing dog in her abilities and she will attempt anything. So I want to put as much time as i can with her and her training to see if i can do what you said and teach her to ignore the other dogs while she is working. Thanks again.
Welcome Matt!
The first thing would be to get back to training and working on control....a dominant dog aggressive dog is a dog which needs training and upkeep on the training...and vigilance on the part of the owner....going back to club, and getting help on control with this is your best bet....a dominant aggressive dog can be trained to ignore other dogs while working....it takes alot to transfer that focus away from strange dogs in day to day life...and mostly it will be management.
One of the biggest problems is that you really can't get another dog - unless she is same sex aggressive only...but right now, you need to start at the beginning and get her back to work!
Good luck!
|Call the trainer for the Schutzhund club and talk to them. It's not about making her not aggressive to other dogs. She will probably always be dog aggressive, though it seems odd to me that a 4 month old would be so is it maybe fear related? It's so hard to say when we haven't met the dog. So call the trainer and discuss with him. There are many working dogs out there that do not want to tolerate other dogs. They are trained to ignore them.
Female GSD very dog aggressive
Hi, everyone my name is Matt. I just joined the site today. I have a 3 year old GSD. I purchased her from a well known breeder who breeds for schutzhund and police. She is a very high drive dog. I started all the schutzhund training and it was going great. My wife left the kids and I and I slacked off and haven't done it with her in two years. Just obedience in the past two years. Problem I am having is she is and always was very aggressive to other dogs and all animals, she just wants to race right in for the attack. She was like this already at 4 mos old. I want to get her back into schutzhund but it is very difficult when all she wants to do is get at all the other dogs. Does anyone have any idea's how I can tame this down some? She listens great when other dogs and animals are not around. She was also protective already and down to business and had a serious side to her at 9 weeks old.

how am i supposed to keep the but plat and front part together?
how am i supposed to keep the but plat and front part together?
some use bolts i use nothing really just the girthbelt to hold it together....
I do the same thing with the bolts... but I also have some velcro sewn into the back and front of my jumpsuit to help keep the armor from sliding down.
what i also do is have an elastic strap on the kidney that velcros around my waste to hold it up cause it doesnt get wedged into the girth very well
Are people still using the the elastic strap between the legs, too? Like a Fett thong?
I've just learnt about the Fett thong. It's a requirement for 501st clearance (UKG at least). For me it serves no purpose. I've poppered my Bobamaker butt plate and cod onto the flight suit and with the girth belt to secure it, it fits fine.
its on the movie used suit so everyone wears it bud
Don't get me wrong I've added to my Fett, I'm trying to get it is accurrate as I possibly can.

Personas (MIT project)
rawn 100000R0P5 Tags:  amusing social-software 3 Comments 9,191 Views
I tried the MIT Personas site just to see what it would come up for my name. Basically, it does a Web search for any name you give it and analyzes the text on a semantic level to find common themes or categories for content from you or about you (e.g., it might suggest topics like "sports", "legal", "social", "management", "online", etc.) How it does this is a little beyond my knowledge of semantic processing, as well as what practical use this is seems to escape me.
But it's fun. :)
Some issues with it, is that because it searches on people names across the Web, the content may mistake e.g., one "Luis Suarez" (our own blog-evangelist) with another "Luis Suarez" (soccer player). It helps if you have a globally unique name like "Rawn Shah" (so far). Another problem is that the results may vary depending on how it processes whatever search results it finds. So, in trying it out three times to see how close it was, it showed slightly different categories for me and sized these differently as well.
I can't figure out why the following categories appear since I rarely if ever talk about them: military, religious, religion, genealogy

Library News Blog
From the Spring 2015 Newsletter
Is a single search box a usable interface? Can students use the library website to find what they need? These were the questions that prompted our springtime usability study.
Usability testing is a best practice among website administrators. A moderator will sit with a participant and ask him/her to complete a number of tasks. Based on the success rate, the website design may be changed to be more usable. We used a "lightning" usability test approach to compare students' intuitions of different library search methods.
What's OneSearch? It's a single-search-box portal to books, ebooks, videos, and a large number of articles and digital materials available through the library. In library-speak, OneSearch is a web-scale discovery service.
Article contents
- Background
- Methodology
- Findings
- Appendix 1: students' search strings
- Appendix 2: lightning usability script
The CUNY Office of Library Services, the central group that supports all CUNY libraries, rolled out OneSearch in Fall 2014. Since then, we've included the search box in the fourth tab on the Library's homepage, with the explanation that it is a "beta" service. While we at John Jay have tended not to incorporate OneSearch as a primary part of our library instruction, we have been averaging between 400–600 searches in OneSearch each day. In our roles as librarians, we have observed students using it—and liking it—more and more. But how were they using it? Were they really finding what they wanted? What are the pitfalls we'd have to address when teaching OneSearch?
We asked John Jay students to show us how they use the library website, with results both expected and surprising. This usability study was conducted by Robin Davis, Prof. Janice Dunham, Prof. Karen Okamoto, and Allie Verbovetskaya (OLS) on February 4, 5, and 9. Students who participated were rewarded with MBJ $10 cafeteria vouchers, generously provided by the Faculty-Student Engagement Fund (coordinated by Christie Graziano at the Office of Student Transition Programs).
We run usability studies on the Library website at least once a year, and lately we've begun to favor "lightning" or "quick and dirty" usability tests. Conventional usability studies have 5–7 participants with sessions lasting 30–90 minutes. When we did such tests before, we felt that we did not receive significant data from such a small number of participants. Moreover, we advertised through library-related channels and on printed-out signs in the library, so our users were self-selecting as heavy library users. We needed a selection of users who would better represent the college's student body. Lastly, as Prof. Dunham pointed out, the conventional usability study is not a typical use case. Students are often searching for library materials quickly in between other research tasks; they usually do not feel under pressure, enclosed in a small room with a librarian scribbling notes while they are audio-recorded. We wanted to create conditions that more closely mimicked a real use case.
We set up a table with laptops in the busy Kroll Atrium during Community Hour. Our signs offered the free $10 cafeteria coupons in exchange for five minutes of student feedback on "a website." Students lined up, often chatting with their friends. Once a student sat down with us, we told them that we were testing the library website and they'd be given 3 tasks to do on the laptop:
- Find out if a book, The Polar World, is available in the Library
- Define peer review, either from memory or from referring to any resource
- Find a peer-reviewed article about different ways college students deal with stress
As they completed the tasks, we took notes in pen on our script worksheets. The most important thing we did was to write down their path (e.g., homepage > catalog > title search "the polar world" > scrolled down page > gave up) as well as their search strings (e.g., college students AND stress). We rated their performance of each task for our own notes.
Because we were only selecting for the kind of student who wants a free lunch (but who wouldn't?), we netted a range of users: all year levels and the full range of library experience. Some knew exactly which databases they wanted to use, and some had never used the library website before. We had 39 participants in total.
Students tend to use natural language search strings in OneSearch and find less relevant articles. Students tend to use keyword search strings in other library databases and get more relevant results.
The research question students were given read, "You need to find a peer-reviewed article about different ways college students deal with stress. What's the first relevant article you see that you'd want to read? Look anywhere you'd usually look." Librarians noted if the chosen article was "relevant" if it was peer-reviewed and was about at least one way that college students manage stress. (Note that we were looking at intuition and ease of use here, rather than testing our students' research savviness. They were only searching for a couple of minutes on a fake assignment.) Fewer students who used OneSearch found "relevant" articles compared to those who used Academic Search Complete, JSTOR, and other library databases.
These findings do not mean that OneSearch does not give relevant results! Finding articles in OneSearch is easy since the index is enormous, but finding articles relevant to a given research question requires a certain level of searching skills. With a good search string like "college students AND stress management," OneSearch delivers very good search results. But a bad search string will deliver confusing results, like when students typed in "different ways college students deal with stress" (a natural-language phrase) or "peer review student stress" (misunderstanding how to use keywords). Most students who chose to use OneSearch used these poorly-constructed search strings, whereas students who used other library databases broke the question into keywords and used two search boxes connected with AND. See the bottom of this article for the actual search strings that students used.
It is probable that because we used OneSearch's one-big-box look on our default page, students took the cue that that they could use the search box like Google, which can handle those kinds of natural-language searches. But at heart, even though its index is web-scale, OneSearch is still a library database that responds best to keywords and Boolean operators. Because of this usability study, we are considering defaulting to OneSearch's advanced search interface.
OneSearch is much easier to use than CUNY+ when performing title searches.
All of the students who searched for The Polar World (1964) in OneSearch found it. None of the students who searched for The Polar World in CUNY+ found it. CUNY+ is limited in two major ways: first, search results cannot be sorted by relevance, and are sorted by date by default. Second, "title begins with" searches require a/an/the to be stripped from beginning of the title, a fact no students in this study realized, even with the hint highlighted below the CUNY+ search box. Based on this finding, we are considering using OneSearch as the primary access point for records in the CUNY+ catalog. OLS has provided OneSearch widgets that can be limited to material type, including print books & ebooks.
Students like the tabs design.
The default tab shown on our test homepage was OneSearch. Over half of the students clicked the Books & Media tab when asked to find a book. Two-thirds of students clicked the Articles & Databases tab when asked to find an article. Some students even noted that one thing they liked about the library website was the tabs box. Narrowing down a library search before clicking the search button may be intuitive for these students, even the ones who said that they hardly ever used the library. Based on this finding, we will be keeping our tabs box, and using the aforementioned type-specific widgets in each.
Library classes are a big benefit.
Having had a library class session was extremely beneficial to students. Our "one-shot" library sessions usually last under two hours, and most students only get one or two of these class sessions throughout their entire career at John Jay. One-shots are often bemoaned among librarians, as it is truly difficult to pack so many research skills into such a short time. But from our data, students who had a library session have a significant advantage in research skills.
With these findings, we will be redesigning our OneSearch tab box as well as customizing the John Jay-specific OneSearch interface. We will also use the intuitions and pitfalls we came across to guide how we present OneSearch in library class sessions and at the reference desk. We appreciate the participation of so many students in a project so valuable to the Library!

Appendix 2: lightning usability testing script
Lightning usability script
Note: we were testing for several things in this script, including whether our new discovery service was a usable way to search for books by title. The questions were broad enough that they also served as a litmus test for students' library skills, which informs our instruction. Feel free to be inspired by our script and try out a version at your own library!
1. Intro. Hi, I'm [name], a librarian here at John Jay. What's your name/major/year? … We're testing the library website to see what works and what doesn't work. This will probably take around 10 minutes. I'll be giving you three tasks to do. I'll be timing you, but work at the pace you usually work at when you do your homework. There are no right or wrong solutions to these tasks. We're testing the website, not you. So if you can't find something, that's a problem with the website, not you! Do you have any questions?... All right, let's get going.
- Student information: first-year / soph. / junior / senior / senior+ / graduate
- Major: _______________
- Have you had a library intro session before? yes / no
2. Find a book: You're looking for a book with the title The Polar World for a class paper. Does the library have it? [If the student has trouble finding it, say: Okay, at this point, just describe to me what you would normally do next.]
- Path to find book: _______________
- Time on stopwatch: _______________
- Private: How easy was it for the student to find this book? 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5
3. Find an article, part 1: This is a two-part question. You will need to find a peer-reviewed article for a class paper. First, show me how you would find the definition of peer review if you don't already know. You can look anywhere you'd usually look. Then tell me what you think it means.
- Path to find information: _______________
- Student's definition of peer review: _______________
- Time on stopwatch: _______________
- Private: How do you rate the student's understanding of peer review? 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5
Article, part 2: Now, let's search for a specific article. You need to find a peer-reviewed article about different ways college students deal with stress. What's the first relevant article you see that you'd want to read? You can look anywhere you'd usually look.
- Path to find article: _______________
- Time on stopwatch: _______________
- Private: How easy was it for the student to find the article? 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5
- Private: Is it a relevant article? yes / no
4. Debrief: We're almost done. Tell me what you think of the tasks you did today and your thoughts overall on the library website and the library as a whole. What do you like? What bugs you?

Librarians never underestimate the power of encyclopedias. They are invaluable sources for the students who are in the beginning stage of their research and are looking for an overview of a subject, background information of an issue, key dates, ideas or persons in a particular subject area. The Library strives to keep its collection of encyclopedias current and makes regular updates in the holdings to stay comprehensive, especially in the field of criminal justice. Last year, the Library acquired two encyclopedias and both are called Encyclopedia of Criminology and Criminal Justice. It is not rare that an encyclopedia title would have a "twin," but it is rare that two books with the same title would be published in the same year. Both encyclopedias are geared towards academic libraries.
The print Encyclopedia of Criminology and Criminal Justice was published by Wiley and edited by Jay S. Albanese, a celebrated authority on criminology and criminal justice and the former head of the International Center at the National Institute of Justice. In addition to a world-renowned editor-in-chief, the 540 entries in 5 volumes are authored by experts from ten countries and peer-reviewed by 14 associate editors. The entries are arranged alphabetically and range from 2,000 to 5,000 words in length. They cover history, current state, and future directions of a topic; many include interdisciplinary approaches. There is also an extensive section on international crime and comparative crime and justice issues. The contents are listed in three ways: by 15 major categories (for example, Corrections and Sentencing, Courts and Adjudication, Law Enforcement and Policing, Types of Crime, Victimization, etc.), then alphabetically by topics, and also by keywords. All entries are cross-referenced so that readers can locate entries on related topics. Each chapter ends with references and suggestions for further readings. Wiley is planning to publish more encyclopedias on the general topic of criminology, with future titles covering juvenile justice, crime and punishment, and criminology theory.
The other Encyclopedia of Criminology and Criminal Justice was published by Springer and co-edited by Gerben Bruinsma and David Weisburd. Available in electronic format, this work comprises 10 volumes and its contents were overseen by two editors-in-chief in consultation with 12 associate editors and more than 180 area editors who are "often the originators of theories, practices, or methods." This work covers ten broad areas, including Corrections and Criminal Justice Supervision in the Community, Explanations for Criminal Behavior, Data, Methods, and Statistics, Crime Places and Situations. Fields related to criminology, such as police science, forensics, and certain areas of psychology are covered in 579 entries. Many entries not only outline basic chronology of an issue but also hint at the future developments or questions that might be asked. The entries are arranged in alphabetical order; all of them are cross-referenced.
Please ask your students to use both encyclopedias for comparison.

We are always expanding our special collections which document criminal justice, broadly and deeply. This is a selected list of recent acquisitions.
Rare books
Jennaway Pearson, Sum of our Parts: An Examination of Death Rituals in America. Washington D.C., 2014.
We recently acquired this beautiful book by the book artist Jennaway Person; the book is based on her MFA Thesis project. It exists in four copies, one in the artist's collection and one is at the Library of Congress. This book features silkscreen, zinc plate etchings, letterpress, on handmade cotton rag paper, with audio recording in a custom built pine box inlayed with one of the zinc etching plates. Each sheet features the name and prisoner history of a selection of prisoners executed in Texas 1982-2013. An MP3 player holds recordings of each prisoner's last words. One interesting aspect of this book is that the ink used to portray barbed wire was infused with ground glass.

Suringar, Willem Hendrik and Moreau-Christophe, L.M., Translator. Considerations Sur La Reclusion Individuelle Des Detenus. Precedees d'une Preface et Suivies du Resume de la Question Penitentiaire. Paris: Chez Mme Bouchard-Huzard, 1843.
A discussion on Pennsylvania's system of separate confinement, which influenced European penology at this time. The authors were leading prison officials in Holland and France.
The Great Canals Scrip Fraud, Minutes of the proceedings and report of the evidence in the investigation of the case, by the grand jury of Sangamon County, Ill. At the April term of the court of said county, 1859. Springfield, Illinois: Daily Journal Steam Press, 1859.
This pamphlet describes the investigation into the issue and cover up of 'canal scrip' fraud, which implicated then Illinois Governor Matteson for larceny for using state funds to purchase these bank note substitutes. Boxes of this scrip had apparently been purchased, allegedly with state funds and then stored in the State Capital Building and discovered much later. Although the Governor was cleared of all charges, the Grand Jury voted to publish the proceedings of the trial. This item is an addition to our existing Fraud and Swindles Collection. Only eight copies are known to exist of this pamphlet, none in New York State.

An Illustrated Catalog of Knowles Improved Fire Pumps. New York and Boston, 1885.
This trade catalog features many illustrations and descriptions of pumps which supplied water to fire suppression systems in large buildings. According to this pamphlet and to an advertisement in American Machinist, Knowles pumps were dependable and the industry standard. This will be a great resource to those researching early urban fire prevention systems. We are now the only library on record that holds this pamphlet.
Image: Advertisement for Knowles Steam Pumps in the front pages of American Machinist 9 (1882) from Google Books
Report of special committee to the Prison Association of New York on convict labor. 1885
This report is an early criticism of the system of prisoner labor in New York State, which it characterizes as akin to slavery. Our recently digitized Annual Reports of New York State Prisons, available on the Internet Archive details what work the prisoners were assigned inside and outside the prison grounds. In just a few pages, this small pamphlet reviews an issue in corrections that still resonates today. Consider for example this statement on page two: "…on the broadest grounds of public policy, the convict's reformation is more profitable to the State than his prison labor can be." Only five libraries are known to have this report.
The life of Anson Bunker : "the bloody hand," the perpetrator of no less than fifteen cold-blooded murders, amongst which were the great Nathan murder of New York City, and those of his three wives, and several others in various parts of the country: his horrible confessions and terrible doom. Philadelphia 1881.
A sensational and lurid first person account of fifteen murders committed by Anson Bunker, including all three of his wives. We are one of the few libraries that hold this edition.
Images: Two of the many illustrations in The Life of Anson Bunker from an earlier edition available digitally from Harvard Libraries
Manuscript collections
William Preston Papers — (40 linear feet) Bill Preston was professor and chair of John Jay's History Department from 1973-1988 and the author of Aliens and Dissenters: Federal Suppression of Radicals, 1903–33. We thank Bill's children, Michael, Margo, Evie and Lauren for donating his papers to the Lloyd Sealy Library. We will be processing this collection soon; a preliminary inventory is available from the Library's Special Collections Subject Guide.
Records of the Town of Brookhaven Police Department (Suffolk County) — (½ linear foot) This collection is also the papers of Edward E. Bridge who organized and oversaw this town's police force from 1937 to 1959. On January 1, 1960 Brookhaven, along with many adjacent towns, joined forces to create the Suffolk County Police Department. A finding aid is available from the Library's Special Collections Guide.
Journal of Kansas City Police Matrons Miss Anna W. Taggart and Elizabeth Burns 1904-1909 (one volume) — This journal records the activities of female police officers working in Progressive Era Kansas City. Daily observations and activities include arrests of prostitutes, burglars, murderers as well as interactions with abandoned infants, runaways, drug abusers, domestic violence survivors and much more.
For more information or to make an appointment to see any of these in our Special Collections Room, please contact Professor Ellen Belcher.

The amount of material that the library has available for both students and faculty in our collections can seem a bit overwhelming to approach. There is a plethora of information available; students in particular may be unaware of how much the library has for them or even where to begin looking. Regardless of whether you are a professor or a student, a good place to get started would be with our subject guides.
You may be wondering, what are subject guides? They are a listing of available resources put together by librarians to help users locate materials that they can use in their research and papers. Subject guides can vary but usually contain lists of suggested books, databases and journals, links, and sometimes pictures and video on whatever topic the guide is discussing. It is a roadmap of extremely helpful, relevant, and academically acceptable knowledge that a librarian constructed for users to use.
From all the guides available at the Library, the best one to recommend to somebody just beginning to learn about doing research would be our "How to Use the Library" guide. For anyone looking to improve their bibliographies and citation skills, our guide "Citing Sources: APA, MLA & Chicago Styles" may be invaluable. If you are a student having a hard time figuring out if an article or journal is academically acceptable, take a look at our "Evaluating Information Sources" guide. Anyone looking for a source of valid statistics should take a look at our Statistics guide. We also have specific guides for English 101 and Speech 113 classes in particular.
It is also never too early for students to begin to think about the types of careers that they can pursue after their time here at John Jay College, particularly in criminal justice fields. Students who are interested in career resources at the library as well as internship sources, exam study guides, and generally how John Jay College can help you launch your career should take a look at our "Careers in Criminal Justice" subject guide, as well as our "Careers in Forensic Science" subject guide.
Also as distance education has become more prevalent, subject guides have become crucial in helping faculty and students who will never actually step foot on the physical campus. The library has guides on many topics that would be helpful to those involved in distance education such as our ebook guide, available at guides.lib.jjay.cuny.edu/ebooks and our guide "Finding Legal Information: The Absolute Basics." Graduate students, who may only be able to visit the campus in the evenings, if at all, may find our "Graduate Student Resources" guide to be very useful.
Meanwhile, faculty will find our "Faculty Scholarship Resources" guide and our "Information Literacy" guide to be very helpful as they pursue their teaching and scholarship both on and off campus. And of course as part of fostering a sense of belonging to the wider John Jay College community, there is a guide on library exhibits, which allows for graduate and distance students to experience some of the many displays and materials that faculty and students who visit the physical library regularly are able to enjoy.
This academic year, we introduced several new guides for students on a variety of subjects including guides on classics, emergency management, gangsters, Shakespeare, and several history guides on events like the Holocaust and world wars, as well as eras such as Reconstruction and the Depression. We have also made major updates to existing guides such as "Corrections," "Crime in New York 1850–1950," "Fire Science," and "Security Management."
Subject guides from the Lloyd Sealy Library offer faculty and students, both on and off campus a gateway to begin their studies and improve their research. Feel free to take a look and encourage your students to take a look as well!

Two new Annual Review subscriptions: Statistics & its Application, and Organizational Psychology & Organizational Behavior
Our collection of Annual Review journals provides critical literature reviews of primary research in 18 disciplines including the social sciences. Most recently we have added subscriptions to the Annual Review of Organizational Psychology & Organizational Behavior, and the Annual Review of Statistics & its Application.
This is the landing page of the Annual Review of Statistics and its Application. You can browse current and past articles from this page. The single search bar on the upper right allows you to search for articles within a specific Annual Review journal or across all the Annual Review content we subscribe to.
Launched in March 2014, the Annual Review of Organizational Psychology & Organizational Behavior focuses on industrial psychology, human resource management and organizational behavior. Topics covered include motivation, leadership, gender and diversity, and research methodologies. The Annual Review of Statistics and its Application covers tools and developments in statistics such as new theories in methodologies and applications in the areas of economics, psychology and sociology among others. Both reviews can be searched by clicking on the title of these journals from the main page of Annual Reviews. Once you click on the title you can enter your keywords into the single search bar at the top, or browse current or past issues. You can also search across the 18 disciplines we subscribe to via the single search box appearing at the top of each screen or via the Advanced Search option.
Oxford Bibliographies in African Studies, Latino Studies, and Psychology
The Library now subscribes to the African Studies, Latino Studies, and Psychology subject collections of Oxford Bibliographies. They provide annotated citations and introductory overviews for a range of topics, including authors (e.g., Chinua Achebe in the African Studies collection) and concepts (e.g., borderlands from the Latino Studies collection and lie detection from the Psychology collection). The annotated sources include books, journal articles, websites, data sets and archives. Each citation can be saved to a personal account and emailed or exported to a citation management program (e.g., RefWorks). Citations also include a convenient link to the CUNY+ catalog and WorldCat, both of which allow users to search for the availability of the item at John Jay or other libraries. Some citations also include a link to Google Books.
Sample citation from the Lie Detection in a Forensic Context bibliography. Each citation can be saved and exported. Links to the CUNY+ catalog, WorldCat, and Google Books are provided.
Oxford Bibliographies provide a range of search features. Researchers can browse bibliographies in each subject collection by an alphabetical title listing or search across subject collections via the single search box at the top of each page or through the advanced search. The advanced search options also allow researchers to limit searches to specific types of citations, for example primary documents or multimedia sources.
From the main page of a subject collection, you can browse bibliographies by title, or you can search for bibliography topics using the search bar at the top.
Researchers who are new to a field and are looking for key sources to start their research will find these bibliographies to be useful.
aggregates research related to online marketing and e-commerce by drawing data from over 4,000 sources, including companies, research firms, consulting companies, universities and government agencies. Although the marketing and e-commerce focus of this database may not seem relevant to research agendas at John Jay, students and professors may be interested in the Internet and mobile adoption data made available by eMarketer. The database provides forecasts up to 2019 for topics such as the number of mobile phone users, broadband households and Internet users in different countries. Other topics include social media usage by specific groups such as millennials in the United States, the number of mobile phone users by race and ethnicity, as well as data about digital privacy and security. Search results can be filtered by format and source types such as charts, reports and industry articles.
The image on the right is a chart from eMarketer illustrating the demographic profile of mobile phone owners in Peru, 2013. Charts can be emailed and downloaded as a PDF, JPEG or Excel file.

Paola Rojas, from the library to border patrol
From the Spring 2015 Newsletter
Paola Rojas was one of Saundra's favorite "babies." Paola worked six years as a Sealy Library College Assistant, graduating with a BS in Criminal Justice in 1998.
After graduation, the sweet-faced, Spanish-speaking Paola was hired by the United States Border Patrol to carry a gun and enforce the Arizona border. She did her new job with the same good cheer and competence she displayed while working for the library. Although the western style grew on her, Paola was happy to move back to friends and family in New York three years ago. You might find her now at one of the airports as an investigator for Customs, or at a New York Yankees game.
Though Paola keeps up with Saundra Dancy and the college assistants she worked with years ago, the rest of the library staff were happy to catch up with her again at Mrs. Dancy's retirement party.

Saundra Dancy, the Sealy Library Circulation Supervisor, celebrated her birthday on March 30 by retiring from John Jay College. She was aided and abetted in this decision by her husband, Darryl Dancy, who retired from John Jay's Facilities Department during the previous month. While we wish them both well in their spring bower in Pennsylvania, the College will surely miss them.
Saundra arrived at the Library nearly twenty-five years ago upon the high recommendation of Margaret Schultze, for whom she had worked in Human Resources. Saundra's bright spirit, ready smile and quick intelligence was immediately apparent. It wasn't long before she had mastered the arcane details of library circulation: "unlinked item records," "pick list," "Aleph conversions," "library stops," "local patron," "global records," and so many others. Where Saundra always shined the brightest, however, was in her management skills.
The Library has a revolving crew of fifteen college assistants and four or five work-study students who zip in to work for a few hours between classes. Our students are subject to the vagaries of student life everywhere, plus dependent families, no previous work experience, and special immigrant status. At the center of the maelstrom, Saundra dependably orchestrated crises and continuity, going well beyond work responsibilities to mentor, cajole, encourage and help our John Jay students one after another. An indication of the influence she had on so many young lives was the number who flocked lovingly to her retirement party on March 20. Their tributes to Saundra Dancy and how she changed their lives were reminiscent of the things we usually hear at faculty retirements. The role Saundra played in the College was in the best spirit of our educational enterprise. We are grateful for her presence among us.

This loving couple, Nadyia Middleton and Miguel Onativia, both John Jay graduates, met, courted, and exchanged their first Valentine's Day gifts in the Sealy Library.
When Miguel wanted to surprise Nadyia and ask her to marry him, of course it had to be in the Library. With the help of Jerylle Kemp, Director of Alumni Relations, and the fond participation of everyone present in the Sealy Library on December 13, Miguel and Nadyia became engaged (please notice the ring). In July they will married. (But not in the Library.)

In a 1916 Atlantic Monthly article, Samuel Crothers coined the term "bibliotherapy." In 1970s America the use of books as therapy for prisoners became fashionable among rehabilitationists. Reading is always good, but researchers carried out few studies for outcomes. From the 1980s affective bibliotherapy caught on, especially among cognitive behavioralists, who based their practice mainly on the reading of moral fiction and self-help books with stories or models that could improve behavior among prisoners, the mentally ill, addicts, and others. In truth, the concept of reading for therapeutic behavioral modification reached back at least to the Middle Ages and even beyond.
A recent addition to Sealy Library's Special Collections offers a prime example of bibliotherapy in early 19th century France. In 1819, French King Louis XVIII founded the Society for the Improvement of Prisoners. One of the Society's first actions was to hold a competition for authors to write edifying fictional literature to distribute among prisoners. An anonymous donor provided 1000 francs as a prize for the winning novel. In 1821, the contest ended with a mere ten books passing the first cut. After further examination, only two novels were in competition: Antoine et Maurice (Paris, 1821) by Laurent de Jussieu (nephew of the famous French botanist) and Laurent, ou les Prisonniers by Jean-Marie Achard-James (Paris, 1821). Jussieu's novel won the prize, perhaps because the protagonists in the novel were not already incarcerated, but received the light and reformed before their criminal behavior put them in prison. In Laurent, however, the protagonist was a convicted criminal and his moral actions while behind bars had an ameliorating effect on his imprisoned colleagues.
We were fortunate to obtain a first edition of Laurent, the only copy outside of France where one resides in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France and another in the Bibliothèque de Lyon. This most rare book once again showcases our international reputation for criminal justice materials.
—Larry Sullivan

Anyone have this piece? First I've heard or seen a pic of the PK380.
Thinking of culling my family, so I might look at this one.
I do not think it has hit the stores yet
nope, not available yet but they are starting the advertisements for it in magazines. demand for this gun will be crazy. rumor is late august.
I read that in the magazine review. What a nice piece. I'm sure it's gonna be popular.
I like the P-22, which is apparently close to the same size, but it is definitely not small enough for a pocket pistol, which to me, makes the PK380 no more suitable for concealed carry than a PPK.
So, my question is why bother with a .380 that cannot be concealed in a pocket, when you already make a very popular model in the same size range. If I have to move up to IWB to conceal a gun, it's going to be a 9mm (9x19) or larger. The only value that the .380 chambering has to me is that the platform size can be reduced for concealment purposes.
I think it fills a nitch between the P99's/P22... the PPK is a classic design but being a blowback has it's limitations. One could practice with a P22 and then pick up a PK380 and the muscle memory should be very close.
Having said all of that, I doubt you will be able to pick one up easily before Christmas. As I recall, when the P99 came out it took a year from the hyped release to the local gun shops.
I handled one of the new PK380's at a local gun store. They costs $359.00 NIB. They had two left out of six total. Looks and feels very good, especially if you like the bigger P99. I wasn't keen on the breakdown process having to use a key. But, I'm sure it will be an eye grabber for those wanting to conceal carry a small/thin .380 caliber auto.

|Impressions of Greece : a content analysis of student ethnographies
|Newfield, Charlotte M.
|University of New Orleans. Honors thesis. 2003.; University of New Orleans. Dept. of Drama & Communications.
|This paper is a content analysis of student ethnographic papers from three consecutive years of a University of New Orleans study-abroad program in Greece. The program was developed and administered by Dr. Linda Lonon Blanton, Director of the University Honors Program, specifically for honors students, and was held during the intersession periods between the spring and summer semesters of 2000, 2001, and 2002. The student papers were written in response to an assignment for a three-credit hour course titled Traveling Distances -An Ethnographer's Journey through Greece (Appendices 1-2). The course was required for all program participants who registered in either ENGL 2398 (Special Studies in Literature and Language) or ENGL 4391 (Special Topics in Literature and Language), depending upon the student's academic level. Students enrolled in the course were required to keep a journal and to write two letters to themselves, the first of which Dr. Blanton collected, and returned to the students two weeks later; the second of which she mailed back to the United States so that the students could receive them once they were back at home. In addition, students enrolled in ENGL 2398 were required to write a minimum 5-7 page ethnography, while students registered in ENGL 4391 were required to write a minimum 10-12 page ethnography. So that students could understand how ethnographies were written, several books were assigned on required and recommended reading lists as potential models (Appendices 3-4). Dinner With Persephone by Patricia Storace, a required book, was the only true ethnography on either of the lists, but the books by Michael Carroll, Lawrence Durrell, Aris Evangelinos, Edmund Keely, and Henry Miller all had strong ethnographic elements as well.

Well, for an ourdoorsy holster, I prefer Nylon or other synthetics. The primary reason is that Nylon is easy to clean, and won't crack or lose shape when it gets wet/dry/wet/dry, etc. Dirt or grit in your holster will cause finish wear on your gun as you move around, and may even scratch it rather severely during a draw. Nylon and the other synthetics can be cleaned often enough that it is less of a problem than with the (admittedly nicer looking) leather rigs.
Less money, too, if that's important to you.

'Both teams had four shots in overtime, but the Rangers had the better scoring chances.'
Archives for November 2001
NY Rangers 2, Buffalo 2 (ot)
Kozlov sounds off following benching
'"They traded for me so they've got to play me or they've got to trade me," Kozlov told Buffalo's WGR Radio after learning he wasn't going to play against the New York Rangers. "I'm not going to watch the games from the press box. I've got to make a decision on what I'm going to do next."'
Sabres get reinforcements for grudge match with Rangers
'"By making those comments, he showed he knows absolutely nothing about where I've been, what I've done and how far I've come."'
Sabres vs. Rangers
'With a goal and nine assists on the power play, Zhitnik has been in on 10 of the Sabres' 17 power-play goals this season.'
Fleury: Ruff crossed the line
'Ruff was unavailable Monday, but probably will have to answer for his comments before the Rangers and Sabres meet tonight at HSBC Arena.'
Rangers at Buffalo Sabres
'The Rangers were short-handed 22 times and allowed five power-play goals in losing their last two games. Conversely, they are 0-for-17 over the last three games on their power play.'
Rangers' Fleury still angry at Sabres
'Fleury took that to mean his fight with substance abuse, for which he sought and received treatment late last season and over the summer.'
Mocking Fleury? Now That's Ruff
'Fleury said he has heard other references to his personal problems on the ice this season but found those less objectionable because they were made in the heat of battle.'
Spite night for Rangers
'"I don't think you should ever get into anybody's personal life if you're a coach," Ranger head coach Ron Low declared, eyes blazing.'
Fleury's Ruff Response
'"I think he did cross a line," Fleury said. "I would think, being a coach in the NHL, that he would have a little more class than what he showed, saying what he said. I'm not going to get into a war of words with someone that obviously doesn't understand what I've been through."'
Fleury willing to talk with Ruff
'"For Theo to call Varada an embarrassment to the game, well, he's been as much an embarrassment to the league the last couple of years as any player," Ruff said. To the Rangers, the meaning of the statement was clear — Ruff was talking about Fleury's admission of a substance-abuse problem and subsequent entry into a rehabilitation program last February.'
Warrener to rejoin Sabres against Rangers
'Along with his defensive ability, the last-place Sabres missed his leadership and tough, spirited play.'
Warrener healthy
'"Having Rhett back in the lineup will add his physical presence back on our blueline agaian," said Sabres coach, Lindy Ruff. "He's the kind of guy who takes matters into his own hands and asks questions later."'
Penguins chill Sabres' hot streak
'The temperatures in Pittsburgh reached the upper 60s on Saturday, but the Sabres slipped to yet another underachieving opponent.'
Mario joins Sabres for a little skate
'Buffalo defenseman Rhett Warrener, out since Oct. 26 with a partially torn groin, was cleared to play in Pittsburgh, but the Sabres opted to keep him out at action.'

text: In light of the Yankowskas / Coughlin break-up, possible pairing of Denney / Coughlin, Evora / Ladwig's plans, etc., I thought we could start a thread that merges any information or news regarding them AND other US pairs who have a chance to move up now with the tumultuous state of things. Other items of business such as how Marley / Brubaker will fare. Will they want to stay with John Nicks? Hasn't Nicks wanted to retire since '06? Castelli / Shnapir are lost in the news due to the above drama. How are they? Do Davis / Leftheris have any potential. Leftheris is one of the US's better male pairs skaters. Any new up and coming US pairs we should keep an eye on?

By Joe Brewin
Laurent Koscielny believes new signing Per Mertesacker will be vital to the Arsenal cause this season.
The duo lined up together at the heart of defence for the first time in the 1-0 victory over Swansea on Saturday, keeping a clean sheet in the process.
With Thomas Vermaelen sidelined for around a month, Koscielny knows the importance of a reliable partner at the back and says Mertesacker can be a perfect fit alongside the Club's other defenders.
"He is a very good defender with a lot of experience," said the Frenchman. "He is a German international and is really important for us on the pitch.
"He is tall which is good for our physical side, and he will help me on the pitch with defensive corners."
Koscielny understands that keeping a clean sheet in Dortmund could prove vital to the Gunners' chances of advancing through the Group Stage, and believes there is enough quality in the squad to see the job through.
"We must defend very well and make a clean-sheet more possible," he said.
"It is very important to defend together. We have the quality and it is in our hands to perform, along with intelligent players who put the effort in on the pitch.
"We have new players who have arrived at the Club, and it is important for us that they can provide some technical creativity in midfield."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Pope Benedict XVI has been surprised by the violent outburst of German political and church leaders over his decision to bring back into the fold four formerly excommunicated bishops. When it became clear that Bishop Robert Williamson had told Swedish television he did not believe there was a Holocaust and accounts of the death of Jews during World War II were greatly exaggerated, the follow up to the remarks shocked Vatican leaders. Furious reactions came from European leaders, particularly, comments by German Chancellor Angela Merkel who made clear her disgust with the decision to allow the return of Bishop Williamson. She told the Vatican, "This should not be allowed to pass without consequences" and "the pope and the Vatican should clarify unambiguously that there can be no denial(of the Holocaust)"
There is growing evidence the Pope was shocked to learn about the Williamson views concerning the Holocaust and now is in a defensive mode. He is demanding that Bishop Williamson openly recant his views about the non-killing of Jews in the Holocaust. Chancellor Merkel has been placed in an awkward position. She is leader of Germany which conducted the Holocaust and the Pope is a German. She felt compelled to take a strong stand.

Skunk Corydoras Las Vegas
Help! I located one skunk cory at a petsmart near me, he was labled as a 'peppered cory', but I nabbed him to join my small cory school. I'm hoping to find more, but I haven't found any more labeled correctly or not anywhere near me. I live up on the North West. Has anyone seen any at any stores in the valley.
I don't want him to be all alone with my school of peppered corydoras, I would love to get a few skunks for him to school with.
Have any of you seen any of these cute little guys in the valley?
They are cute! I had seen them a couple years ago, likely a Petsmart as well, but not recently. Last week, the Petco at Rainbow/Spring Mtn had some beautiful cories there, but speckled type, looked like sterbai. They have interesting stuff there, and will order, no extra charge, so if you don't run into any soon, ask them. I don't often see any cories in the small LFS...
Ah, I will have to see if they can find me any. Like I said, I found this little guy by accident and mislabeled. I figured I'd provide a much better home than petsmart all alone.
So now my tank has 7-9 Ghost Shrimp (Started with 9, can only ever find 2-7 at a time to count, damn clear shrimp haha but I love them)
4 Cherry Red Shrimp (I'm waiting to see if they turn into snacks before I get any more)
5 Peppered Corydoras
1 Skunk Cory
3 Panda Corys
and 2 African Dwarf Frogs (Those are who I'm worried about eating the shrimp, but they are adorable, yet dumb, so hopefully the shrimp stay hidden haha)
All my tank babies are enjoying the Anubias Nana I've tied to my drift wood.
My shrimp seem to love the Bacopa, and they are growing well.
I think it's Anacris (I'm quite positive I'm butchering that name). I have some floating, and I've planted a few stems, that's also growing quick.
While everyone in my tank enjoys uprooting my dwarf hairgrass I so carefully planted haha.
Do any of the LFS in the valley buy excess plants? I know for sure I'm going to end up with a jungle otherwise haha.
lol, I hear ya-getting a head count on shrimp of any kind is tough! The frogs may well be a problem. I've been tempted myself, but have resisted. Its not the chase with them, its the ambush...
It sounds like you have a nice tank going there!
I'm not sure about LFS buying your plants, they tend more to give store credit. That being said, it can happen ;) You'll also find local members happy to buy/trade for your extras. Couple of us are looking around now for plants.
There is a small local group just starting on FB, you'd be very welcome! FYI, joining a FB group won't give other members full access to your FB page if you like to keep it separated. They only see the public part that anyone can see ;D
So far my frogs are leaving the shrimp alone, but I am working on setting up a nano tank just for the Cherry Reds. I've fallen in love with them, and I'd prefer for them not to end up as frog snacks. I'm not too worried about the ghosts, considering they tend to walk on top of my frogs and not get chewed on, but they are much larger than my reds.
I'm off to go join the fb Group now!

HollyWood Is NoT AmErIcA
Questions 1 and 4 can be answered by checking the game's website. I'm not sure of the exact numbers, otherwise I'd offer them.
However, in my experience with the game it does take quite a while to level depending on how dedicated you are to the process, but Warhammer makes it FUN to do so, so it's not really a bad thing.
And yes, there is indeed a friends list.
i can answer a few of your questions.
u can have many characters on the one account on a single server, i recall having made more than 6 characters on a random server just for shitz and then deleting them.
The leveling rate isn't really an issue in the game even though it does take quite a while, the most fun you'll get out of the game is probably the leveling where you hit the scenarios for both xp and renown, the pq's are good and your usual solo quests aren't too bad. When u hit 40 (max level) it just turns into a grind for renown (pvp-point-system kinda thing), i found tier 1,2,3 sc's more fun than t4 sc's, and unless you get into an active guild at level 40 you're gonna be sitting ducks, or riding your mount most of the time to follow wb's and take keeps or objectives.
ultimately, its mostly a game for those who enjoy pvping more than pve and wont mind occasionaly bland pve content. If you're seeking more pve content i'd look to another game, although there is an expansion to look forward to by the end of this month which promises improved gameplay and more content.
1. how many characters can you have on one account?
Answer: I think its 9?
2. does it take long to level?
Answe: You could get to end game in a month and a half if your on a populated server and have time.
3. is there a friends list in game?
Answer: Yes
4. how many classess are there?
Answe: 24 DIFFERENT CLASSES, although some of the same arcs repeat, you wont get the same skill / effect once.
/flameshield + 17Men don't cry, they sweat.
Every race has a Melee DPS, Ranged DPS, Healer and Tank class.
6 races times 4 classes, 24 all together.
Leveling isn't too bad, just constantly be in que for PvP... it may take longer, but it's a hell of a lot more fun to level that way along with questing.
When to speak of a word so old,
Is to relearn what is known.
A time to think back and move on.
Rebuild the loves of lives long gone.
Leveling fast isn't so bad. I did it like mentioned above in around a month and a half. Just be constantly queued and bounce to different zones if you run out of quests. They give the best exp. Keep up on PQ's and stuff too.
Chaos - PhD Darlee (Sage->HighMage) : 3
- Chemist Darlee ( Street Peddler) : >
just to let you know the game is p2p and you cant downlaod you have to by the game. Dont worry the game box comes with a 1 month subsription and the price just drop to 20 us dollars at game stop.
you can find keys online for $15 and the game for $10 on ebay.
and to downlaod the trial and client
also 10 toons per server
leveling is faster then most games but after you reach cap you have a pvp rank to level
and choose IRON ROCK as your server its the most balanced.
hello to everyone who are reading post of mine,I am getting insane for the pacthing of the game!!the 10day trial one??actualy in the first downloading it is very fast but then by i will play the game,the mythic pacther is to slow..how is it???is it a normal pacth?im getting a 5hrs for the pathcing but it is still 20%...how is it??can you give me some advice about this matter??=)hope you can..thank you.
