The Di2 front derailleur's operation is pioneering, smooth shifting is guaranteed thanks to a microchip communication link with the gear levers. What's more, shifting the rear derailleur automatically trims the front derailleur.
- The biggest difference you will notice is just how much quicker and effortlessly smoother shifting on the front chainrings is, even under load
- The difference in the effort and time to actuate the shift between mechanical and Di2 is truly staggering
- The removal of traditional mechanical cables in favour of electrical wires not only eliminates poor shifting caused by contaminates, corrosion and stretching, but gives effortless gear shifts
- The front derailleur also trims automatically; the cage moves in response to the position of the rear derailleur on the cassette to ensure no chain rub and a quiet unobtrusive ride, enabling you to concentrate on the road ahead
- Braze-on fit as standard; if your bike does not have a braze-on mount seat tube adapters are available
- 10-speed Ultegra E- tube Di2 compatible
- Front derailleur weight is 162 grams

Tried to post in general chat with no luck, we'll see how this goes :)
Hey, just picked up an '03 ZTS to replace my Jeep XJ. Really loved the Jeep forums and hoping i can find the same source of info and camaraderie here. To be honest i wasn't real happy to sell the Jeep, but gas prices got high enough that it made economic sense to buy a smaller car.
As for the car, here's what i got: Silver 2003 ZTS w/63k mi. 5sp, leather, blau stereo, moonroof, heated seats, cruise, fogs and a whole bunch of stuff i can't imagine i'll ever find a use for. It's a huge change from the XJ. Who knew that four wheel IS handled so much better than solid axles
. I am loving having a stick again since it's been a long time, and i've been pleasantly suprised at how peppy the 4cyl is around town. I know it will take me a long time to get used to not having the I6 anymore, but i'm more than sure that doubling my gas mileage will make up for it.
So, anything particular to that year and trim level i should watch out for? The windshield wiper relay is starting to go (they won't return home properly), and the tires will need replacing in about 10k mi, but other than that everything seems great. I'm not much of a modder, but i'll probably replace the head unit with something i can plug my mp3 player into, so i'm sure i'll have questions for the audio guys and whatnot.
One important question before i go: OEM tire size is 205/50/R16, is it going to be safe to go to 205/55/R16 without any problems? At that size i can find the much cheaper passenger type tires instead of performance ones, and since this is a commuter car you get the idea. I know with the Jeep even seemingly minor tire changes can make drasting changes with rubbing and whatnot, but i have no idea with these babies, thanks.

Coming Up In March: Live at FWA
Once again I'll be heading down to the nice, warm south for Furry Weekend Atlanta 2013, still my absolute favoritest convention on this planet.
I can't confirm anything yet, but they may actually be hooking me up with a real piano this time, something I haven't performed with in many years. Sorry, Courtney, but I may not be leaving any more nail polish streaks on your keyboard this year!
Nope, looks like the real piano has to live at the bar. Oh well, I prefer to stand anyway!
Registration for the whole weekend is only $45, though you can also get a one-day pass for $35 on Saturday if all you want is to see the concert and maybe dance the night away afterwards. Seriously there are some awesome DJ's in this fandom and FWA has a great sound system. Either way, sign up at www.furryweekend.com/registration and I'll see you in Atlanta!

When I check out my 4.5-5 star rated items, there is a single buyer who rated 1 or 2 stars and I ask myself why do I need to suffer this low rating because a total noob purchased one of my items and had no clue how to edit it eventhough it's 100% simple and organized and didn't even bother to ask for help.
Exactly. So this is the first step, showing the data. A buyer can now see if there are some potentially irrelevant ratings that might be dragging the rating down (or up), rather than just seeing a single opaque average rating.
I went into a bit more detail about what follows on from this in another thread recently.

Great feature! One suggestion though, Dev must provide comment section if a buyer want to rate an item 1 or 2 stars.
Yep. This is the #1 request for ratings now, we're listening, gathering data and planning something like this
kinzi21 said+1
Great feature! One suggestion though, the page must provide comment section if a buyer want to rate an item 1 or 2 stars so we know his reason to give the low rating.
At authors profile it's still old rating system.
Is author's rating is calculated in different way. It's good see rating like this on authors profile too
Good work guys! Thanks for listening to the community, keep working hard.
I can't speak for everyone, but I really appreciate these little things. Slowly you are changing the marketplace into an even better, more efficient place!
Thanks again!
Thanks great work
It's nice to see the ratings breakdown. Thanks!

Yes the authors profile is still using the old rating system. We will be updating this to use the new half star system shortly.
This is just great!
It turned to be better than I expected!
I'm not sure if now it's not harder for buyers to make a decision – they have more and more variables to decide.
There isn't enough transparency yet – I suggest when someone rate an item to automatically post a comment with it – good or bad – as a feedback which you can discuss. In this way you know who rate, the rating and you can ask for more feedback (if it's needed).
Also there should be a better positioning for rate buttons – because clients need instructions and most of the time they give up because didn't find them.

Ok so i thought it was about time this rumour set got its own thread.
Rumoured release slot is between January-April 2013 (Hastings on Warseer says January) and will include both 40k and WFB books. It is also rumoured that BOTH are being written by (I believe it was) Adam Troke.
Now there are rumoured to be several new units making an appearence including a new Daemons exclusive Daemon Engine.
OK so summary of new units and kits being released alongside the Codex/Army Book:
New Daemon Engine
Tzeentch Charriot
Khorne Charriot/ Artillery Platform
Chaos Furies/ Warp Stalkers
Plaguebearer Cavalry unit (said to be riding giant flies)
Plastic kits for all 4 Greater Daemons
Finecast Sculpts for existing Named HQ choices that as of yet dont have models...Skarbrand and Ku'Gath?
So there you go, while im a bit sceptical about the Plaguebearer cavalry and i dont think all 4 GD's will be released in the initial wave i think what we do get should be really good and im just hoping that this release comes sooner rather than later.
Hastings has said DA's for January, Feb for us warp gribblies!
The new Nurgle cav unit is said to be Plaguebearers riding giant flies! (IIRC, that came first from Harry and is supported by Hastings).
My guess is that if this unit is true, this will be a new flying monstrous cav unit in Fantasy, maybe a new Jetbike or (my personal bet), multi-wound Jump Infantry unit in 40k?
Hastings agrees that the new plastic Greaters will be released across multiple waves, otherwise there's simply too much plastic! (4-6+ large kits in one go? I can only dream!)
Khorne chariot/artillery platform is said to have burny ammo! (Harry I believe mentioned that one)
What i can really hope for is that we will get the plastic Lord Of Change in the first wave as i REALLY LOVE TZEENTCH!
Burny ammo?...Soulblaze?
February is not to bad i suppose.
Mind you, I can hear Tzeentch snickering in the back of head, so I have a sneaky feeling he's about to dash my hopes... (all according to plan, right?!!)
February simply means I have to try and save my b-day money for whole month! But on the plus side, it also means that it'll be a very happy Valentine's Day, because nothing says 'I love you' like an army of hellmaidens with razorsharp claws and the attitude of a furious ex-wife!
Personally I hope for a great unclean one. But that might be too much change. Maybe it's better as it is.
I guess daemons should get some kind of flyer, like all armies in 40K Will be interesting to see what they get, unless that's those flies.
Basically life sucks, there is only war and you're probably gonna get eaten by Tyranids, have fun.
Anything on rules? Sadly, I've been thinking about selling what I have cause I need the money, but depending on how things turn out, I might keep them.
Or unload them that much faster...
40k: Silver Angels of Our Martyred Lady 7/2/3 - Daemons of the Great Squiggle! 3/1/0
Fantasy: Windhost of Athel'Loren 2/0/0 - Daemons of Another Great Squiggle! 0/0/0
Warmahordes: Legion of Everblight (Absylonia)
Nothing on rules yet.
Basically life sucks, there is only war and you're probably gonna get eaten by Tyranids, have fun.
Dow we know if the new GD kits will be bigger than current ones? Im hoping for something along the lines of Tervigon sized kits.
I would hope for a keeper, but they haven't looked anything of what I like since 3th ed, so I'm not getting my hopes up there. For the release, I do believe the bloodthirster ill be first. GW seem to have a kink for Khorne when it comes to daemons. Second, great unclean one or Changer or ways. i think iot might lean toward Nurgles favour there. think the Keeper will be the last one. But that's just my theory. Gotta dig out my codex to see what it does that the other greater daemons doesn't already do.

No. 23/25 UTEP Women's Basketball Notes / Game 32 / At No. 4 Stanford / NCAA Second Round
March 23, 2008
• NCAA Tournament Central
UTEP To Take On Stanford In Second Round
The No. 23/25 UTEP women's basketball team will take on No. 4/4 Stanford in the second round of the NCAA Tournament at approximately 8:30 p.m. MST on Monday at Maples Pavilion. The game will start 30 minutes after the conclusion of the California/George Washington tilt, a 6 p.m. MST tilt. The Miners, the seventh seed in the region, advanced into the round of 32 with an 92-60 triumph against Western Kentucky while second-seeded Stanford did so courtesy of an 85-47 drubbing of 15th-seeded
Tune In To ESPN2.. Or Listen Live On 92.3
The Miners' contest against Stanford will be carried live by ESPN2. Additionally, it will air locally in
Sixth Time On National TV This Year
The contest against Stanford marks the program-record sixth time this year that UTEP will appear in a nationally-televised event. The Miners are 4-1 in that situation this year, including 2-1 on the Worldwide Leader.
First Trip To The Big Dance
By virtue of earning the at-large bid to the 2008 NCAA tournament, the UTEP women's basketball team punched its ticket to its initial NCAA tournament in program history.
First Postseason Tournament, Too
Not only is this UTEP's first time competing at the NCAA tournament, but it marks the initial appearance in a postseason tournament- other than a conference tournament- in school history. The Miners have never competed in the WNIT.
Uncharted Territory
The Miners, a program-best 28-3 entering the 2008 Big Dance, will be playing their 32nd game of the season on Monday when they battle Stanford. UTEP. Prior to this season, UTEP had never played more than 30 tilts in a single campaign.
Scouting Stanford
Stanford, the champions of the Pacific 10, enter Monday's contest with a sparkling 31-3 record. The Cardinal, along with the Miners, are one of just eight programs in the nation with three or fewer losses this year. Stanford is absolutely sizzling, winners of 19 successive contests. Making that feat even more impressive is the fact that of those 19 straight wins, 17 have been of the double-digit variety. Included among that are 12 by 20 or more points.
First Meeting Between Programs
The contest between Stanford and UTEP marks the first meeting between the two programs. The Miners and the Cardinal did have a common opponent this season, though, as both squads defeated
Talk About A Contrast
The tilt against Stanford marks the second postseason tournament game (excluding conference tournaments) in the 34-year history of the program. Conversely, Stanford will be taking to the courts for the 68th time at the Big Dance.
More On Stanford's NCAA History
Stanford is 48-19 in NCAA tournament play and is marking its 21st consecutive appearance and 22nd overall. The Cardinal has won a pair of national titles (1990 & `92), appeared in six Final Fours, 11 Elite Eights and 14 Sweet 16s.
Cardinal Tough To Beat At Home
Stanford enters Monday's contest with a perfect 14-0 record at home. The Cardinal is 21-4 at Maples Pavilion in the NCAA Tournament and boast a 299-32 (.903) record at home during the Tara VanDerveer era.
Three-Headed Monster For Stanford
Stanford's Big Three (All American guard Candice Wiggins, center Jayne Appel and forward Kayla Pedersen) have accounted for more than 62 percent of Stanford's scoring while contributing more than 52 percent of the boards. Wiggins lead the way at 19.1 ppg, while Appel (14.8) and Pedersen (12.6) are also in double figures.
Lots of League Honors For Both Squads
Stanford and UTEP both garnered plenty of accolades in their respective league's postseason honors. The Cardinal boast the Pac-10 Player of the Year (Candice Wiggins), Coach of the Year (Tara VanDerveer) and Freshman of the Year (Kayla Pedersen). The Miners, meanwhile, reeled in Conference USA Player of the Year (Jareica Hughes), Coach of the Year (Keitha Adams) and Newcomer of the Year (Natasha Lacy).
Yet Another School's Leading Scorer
Senior Candice Wiggins is the all-time leading scorer for Stanford. It marks the third straight game for UTEP that the Miners will have faced the program's career record holder for points.
Piekarska Could Become That For UTEP
Izabela Piekarska enters the tilt against Stanford with 1,234 career points. That effort is 15 points shy of the program record of 1,249, which is held by Be Stoney.
Gaudy Career Numbers For Piekarska
By joining the 1,000 point club after the win at Rice, Izabela Piekarska is now the only player in program history to have compiled more than 1,000 points, 500 boards, 200 blocked shots and 100 assists.
Not To Mention Hughes, Krezel
Three players in program history have shown enough all-around ability to compile more than 800 points, 200 assists and 100 steals, and two of them are current Miners Kasia Krezel and (1,153 points, 228 assists and 157 steals) Jareica Hughes (787 points, 298 assists and 162 steals) have both joined the club this year.
UTEP Routs
After waiting 34 years to play a postseason tournament, the No. 23/25 UTEP women's basketball team certainly made the most of its first opportunity by throttling Western Kentucky, 92-60, in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament Saturday evening on the campus of
Gotta Love The Number 32
UTEP moved into the round of 32 courtesy of the 32-point drubbing of
Ties School Record- Men Or Women- For Single Season Wins
By virtue of the triumph against WKU, UTEP picked up its 28 victory this year. That effort ties the school standard- for either men's or women's basketball- for the most wins at the institution. The 1966 national championship team, which went 28-1 en route to its historic crown, is the only other squad in UTEP history to have claimed at least 28 games in a single season.
Program Postseason Record For Points
UTEP's 92 points against
Plenty of Points, Period
The season-high 92 points-including 54 after the break- marks the highest total against a division I opponent since a 96-point effort against UAPB last year and the third-best effort in the past 17 campaigns.
Team Records Falling Left And Right
UTEP broke the single-season school record for assists in the triumph against
Hughes, Lacy and Krezel Lead The Way
Natasha Lacy (19 points, seven steals and six assists) Jareica Hughes (17 points and eight helpers) and Kasia Krezel (15 points and five boards) led the way in the triumph against WKU.
Bench Provides Boost
Freshman Brittnay Jones keyed a tremendous effort by the
Don't Forget The D By Iza and `Mik
Not to be overlooked is the defensive performance of Timika Williams and Izabela Piekarska, who held WKU's Crystal Kelly to five points below her average (17 points). The duo made the All-American work for everything she got, visibly frustrating her with the smothering defense.
UTEP Controls All Aspect of Contest
UTEP dominated in all facets of the contest. The Miners shot 50 percent from the floor, compared to 39 percent by WKU, including the sixth-best effort from three-point land in school history at 56.3 percent. The
Turnovers Factor In
UTEP forced WKU into 22 giveaways, which were converted into 30 points. At the other end of the court, the Miners had no such problems with 21 helpers and only 12 turnovers.
Wouldn't Have Guessed It
Anyone tuning into the WKU/UTEP contest wouldn't have known that the Miners were making their first appearance in the NCAA tournament. UTEP, which prior to this year had never even advanced beyond the conference semifinals, looked like a veteran squad in posting the 32-point triumph.
Been A While Since That Big Of Win
The 32-point throttling of Western Kentucky marks the largest margin of victory against a Division I opponent since a 83-41 (42-point triumph) versus
Lacy's Experience Shows
Senior Natasha Lacy, a TCU transfer who went dancing a trio of times with the Frogs, looked like a player comfortable in the spotlight with her 19 point, seven-steal and five rebound effort in the triumph against
Hughes Shining In Postseason Play
Jareica Hughes has been on top of her game in UTEP's four postseason contests this year (three at the Conference USA tournament and one in the NCAA tournament), averaging 23 points, seven assists five rebounds and two and a half steals.
Others Doing So Too
There have been other Miners who have performed admirably in UTEP's four postseason tilts this year. Natasha Lacy has contributed 17 ppg, 6.0 rpb, 5.0 spg and 4.0 apg while Izabela Piekarska has poured in 14 ppg and 6.0 rpg.
UTEP On Neutral Courts
Thanks to the win against WKU, UTEP improved to 4-1 on the year when playing on a neutral court (1-1 at the Kansas State tournament, 2-1 at the Conference USA tournament and 1-0 at the NCAA tournament) It should come as no surprise, though, as the Miners have fared well in the Keitha Adams era at neutral sites. They are 11-7 all time under
Hughes Enjoyed C-USA Tourney Stage
While Jareica Hughes will be making her first appearance at the NCAA tournament, if her performance at the Conference USA tournament is any indication, the sophomore should be just fine. Hughes average 24 points, to go along with 6.5 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 3.3 steals.
Others Did As Well
Izabela Piekarska and Natasha Lacy also turned in solid showings at the C-USA tournament. Piekarska and Lacy each averaged 16.3 points and 6.3 rebounds. Lacy chipped in 4.1 steals and 4 assists per game.
All-Tourney Honors For Hughes, Lacy
Jareica Hughes and Natasha Lacy each earned a spot on the Conference USA all-tournament team. It marked the first time in program history that UTEP had a player merit a spot on the all-league tournament squad.
C-USA Champion Miners
By virtue of the win at UCF on Feb. 24, No. 19/23 UTEP locked up the 2008 Conference
UTEP Grabs Half Of Major C-USA Awards
The No. 18 UTEP women's basketball team snared three of the six major Conference
Wait, There's More
The No. 18 UTEP women's basketball team placed three players on the All Conference USA teams announced Tuesday by the league office, with Jareica Hughes grabbing first-team honors and Natasha Lacy and Izabela Piekarska snaring spots on the second team. Additionally, Lacy was tabbed to the five member all-defensive squad. It marks the first time in program history that the Miners have garnered three all-conference selections in the same season. UTEP merited a pair of all-league members during the 1992-93 and 1996-97 campaigns.
UTEP Completes C-USA Play Undefeated
By virtue of the win against
Consecutive 20 Win Seasons
By virtue of trouncing
History For Home Games Too
UTEP knocked off
Ranked In Both Polls
UTEP entered the NCAA tournament ranked among the top 25 in both the AP and ESPN/USA Today Coaches Polls. UTEP checks in at 23rd in the AP while placing 25th in the latter. The Miners, who were never ranked prior to this season, have appeared in at least one of the polls for a program-best six straight weeks.
With the win at UCF, head coach Keitha Adams became the second member of the 100-career triumph club at UTEP. Sandra Rushing holds the school standard at 123, but she needed 11 years to do so. That figure stands at 105 heading into the second round of the NCAA tournament.
Some Records Flying Under The Radar
When last year's squad rolled to a 22-8 mark to set a school record for single-season wins, that number looked pretty safe for a while. Thanks to the amazing effort by the 2007-08 edition of the Miners, it has been broken. The Miners' victory total stands at 28 heading into the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
More Impressive If You Discount Non-DI Games
If you take away the pair of wins against non-division I schools by the 2006-07 squad, the accomplishments of this year's Miners are even more impressive. Last season's team was 20-8 against D-I competition. Every game this campaign has been versus D-I squads, with UTEP posting a 28-3 mark.
More Record Talk
The loss to SMU in the Conference USA Championship game halted UTEP's 23-game winning streak. The effort, which more than doubled the previous school standard, also served as a league standard. Three squads in the history of the conference had previously rattled off 14 straight.
Putting That Feat Into Perspective
Prior to last year, the school record for single-season wins was 18 (which was achieved by the 1992-93 squad). Not only has this year's group already equaled the program record for overall triumphs, but it rattled off 23 straight in the process. That effort alone surpassed the exploits of the 1992-93 team.
Just Getting Warmed Up
Not only was UTEP the first school to go undefeated in league play, but it surpassed the previous win total for league games only in C-USA history. The prior standard was 14 triumphs.
Wait, There's More
The triumph against
UTEP Runs The Table On The Road
By defeating UCF on Feb. 24, UTEP became the first team in Conference
Unprecedented Success On the Road
UTEP finished the regular season at 10-2 on the road, to by far and way set the school standard for best road record. Additionally, the Miners are assured a winning mark in hostile territory for the initial time in program history.
To Truly Appreciate That, Consider
As of March 16, there were 91 teams in the country to have tallied 10 or fewer wins throughout the entire season. The Miners' win total breakdown is as follows: 14 at home, 10 on the road and three on a neutral court.
Quite A Turnaround From Last Year
While the 2006-07 squad experienced plenty of success, it did have its struggles in road games in league action. The Miners were 3-5 in C-USA road contests a year ago.
Doubled The Record In Fact..
Entering this season, the overall school standard for league victories was four. That was held by the 2003-04 squad (also coached
by Keitha Adams).
Shattered Previous Effort For League Play
Thanks to the win against
Hard To Believe..
By defeating
More Along Those Lines
By virtue of defeating
In Elite Company
As of March. 23, UTEP was one of just eight teams in the country to have two or fewer losses. To put the feat into perspective, consider that there are more than 335 teams competing at the D I level this year in women's basketball across the nation.
Miners Know How To Close Out Games
Part of UTEP's success this year in Conference
Turning Up The D
UTEP has been clamping down defensively of late, as it has held 17 of its past 22 opponents below 40% shooting from the floor. On the year, the Miners have kept 20 opponents below 40%. It is no surprise that UTEP is 19-1 in those contests.
Been A Season-Long Trend
UTEP has been pretty impressive throughout the entire season defensively, holding the opposition to 37.6 percent from the floor. That figure would rank as the second best in program history if the campaign ended today.
More On That Defense
For the season, UTEP has limited the opposition to only 61.0 points per game. That figure would rank as the fifth-lowest average in program history. The Miners were especially impressive during league play, holding the opposition to only 58.6 ppg.
Pressure Defense Giving Opposition Fits
UTEP harassed
Turnover Tidbits Galore
UTEP has averaged 23 points per game off of turnovers, while allowing the opposition to only register 14 ppg from the Miners' giveaways. In fact, there have only been four contests on the season in which UTEP has failed to register more points off giveaways than its foe.
Hughes Sets Assists Record
Sophomore Jareica Hughes has dished out a program-best 169 assists this year. The effort topples the previous standard of 142, held by former Miner Shalana Taylor. Don't overlook Natasha Lacy, though, as the senior has also eclipsed
Lacy Does So With Steals
Natasha Lacy, a member of the Conference USA all-defensive team, just became the first player in program history to topple the 100-steal barrier in a single-season program history. She enters the second round of the NCAA tournament with 104 thefts. The effort eclipses the previous standard of 95, which was set by Terri Pedregon during the 1994-95 campaign.

It has certainly been an exciting year for the Miners, and as result, UTEP has set or is closing in on breaking some school standards

Hughes Joins 800-Point Club; Cracks Top 20 All Time At UTEP
Thanks to the 17-point performance against SMU on Feb. 28, Jareica Hughes became the 14th member of the 800-point club. The sophomore's total stands at 804 heading into the second round NCAA tournament.
Williams Enters 400 Rebound Club
Only a sophomore, Timika Williams became just the 17th member of the 400-rebound club at UTEP after registering six boards in the win against Rice.
Just Joined 500 Point Club
Timika Williams scored 11 points in the win against UCF, becoming the 34th member of the 500-point club at UTEP. Her career total stands at 549 going into the second round of the NCAA tournament
That Makes Her The 17th To Do So When Combined
By virtue of already being a member of the 500-point club and the 400-rebound club, Timika Williams is now one of 17 individuals in school history to have achieved the feat.
Williams Living On The O-Glass
Sophomore forward Timika Williams, who leads the Miners with 6.8 rebounds per game, has been especially impressive on offensive rebounding. Plenty of Williams' boards on the season (86 of 211) have been of the offensive variety.
Others Doing So Too
Timika Williams is not the only player to experience success in the offensive rebounding department. Entering the second round of the NCAA tournament, Izabela Piekarska has 63, while Natasha Lacy has 53. Claudia Porras has registered 38, while Tasha Marisett checks in with 36.
Hughes And Lacy Lead The Steals Charge
Jareica Hughes and Natasha Lacy have been leading the charge in the steals department throughout the year . The duo has accounted for 189 of the 334 thefts on the campaign.
First-Half Success In League Play Finally
UTEP raced out to a 20-point lead at the half in the win against
Must Be Some Great Speeches At Halftime
Who knows what Keitha Adams said at halftime during Conference
Williams Hit Everything In C-USA Play
Timika Williams was certainly locked in during C-USA play. The sophomore drained 56% of her chances.
It Was A Season-Long Trend For `Mik'
Timika Williams was a great shooter throughout the regular season, connecting on 54.7 percent of her shots (111-of-203) to by far and away pace UTEP. Moreover, that effort led Conference
Hughes Did So Too On Triples
Jareica Hughes, who struggled in non-conference play at just 23 percent from three-point land, found her touch in league action from beyond the arc. The sophomore drained 38 percent of her triples, connecting on 23-of-60.
That Just Isn't Fair
Opponents have enough problems stopping 6-5 center Izabela Piekarska when she is going to work on the block. But it just isn't fair to UTEP's foes when the senior shows off a shooting touch that plenty of two guards would love to possess. Entering the second round of the NCAA tournament, Piekarska has connected on a team-leading and fifth in C-USA 39.8 percent from beyond the arc. Moreover, she ranks tied for third all time at UTEP with 82 triples.
Get That Weak Stuff Out Of Here
UTEP has done a great job of defending the paint this year, as the Miners have blocked 162 shots. At the other end of the court, the opposition has managed to block only 58 shots. Leading the block party has been Izabela Piekarska, who has swatted a team-high 75 shots. The imposing 6-5 center has paced Conference
UTEP Was At New Level In League Play
UTEP elevated its game during C-USA action. The Miners averaged 72 points per game, compared to 69 ppg in non-conference play. Defensively, UTEP limited opponents to 58 ppg, quite an improvement from the 62 ppg during non-league play. UTEP shot 44 percent from the floor (42 percent in non-conference action) while it limited the opposition to 36 percent (opposed to 39 percent in 11 non-conference contests).
UTEP Has Two Active 1,000-Point Scorers
After a 10-year drought, seniors Izabela Piekarska and Kasia Krezel became the fourth and fifth members of the 1,000-point club at UTEP this year. Piekarska has racked up 1,234 career points while Krezel checks in at 1,168.
Hughes Reaches 300 Career Assists
Thanks to eight helpers in the triumph against
Sets Her Sight On The Program Reord
Jareica Hughes enters the seond round of the NCAA tournament with 306 career assists, which is only 20 points shy of tying the program's all-time record.
On Record-Setting Pace
For her career, Hughes has averaged 5.4 assists per game. That figure ranks as the highest career average in school history.
Balanced Scoring Attack
Part of UTEP's success this year can be attributed to its balanced offensive attack. Entering the second round of the NCAA Tournament, the Miners boast four players in double figures when it comes to scoring. Sophomore Jareica Hughes leads the way at 14.7, with Natasha Lacy second at 13.2 ppg. Izabela Piekarska is third at 12.3 ppg while Kasia Krezel (10.9) rounds out the Miners in double figures. Additionally, sophomore forward Timika Williams is just shy of 10.0 ppg after elevating her average to 8.8 ppg.
It's Been A While
You have to go back to the 1996-97 campaign to find the last time the Miners had four players average double digits in scoring for a season. In fact, it has only happened on three occasions in the 34-year history of the program.
Trend Was True In C-USA Play Too
The balanced scoring attack continued to prove true in Conference
More Along Those Lines
Each starter has led the team in scoring at least three times, and all five of them have turned in a game in which they scored at least 20 points.
Five-Headed Scoring Monster
Going into the second round of the NCAA Tournament, the Miners' top five scorers (Hughes, Lacy, Krezel, Piekarska and Williams) have accounted for 1,840 of the 2,232 points scored on the year by UTEP. That is a mind-boggling 82 percent of the points on the campaign.
Even More So In League Play
That five-star attack was even more prevalent in Conference
Lacy Shows Off All-Around Game
Senior transfer Natasha Lacy was nothing shy of brilliant in C-USA play. Lacy, who prides herself on an all-around game, did just that. She averaged 13.3 points per game, to go along with a team-high 6.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game.
Hughes Did Also
Jareica Hughes was also balanced in league play, accounting for a team-high 13.9 ppg, 4.6 rpg and 5.4 apg.
Hughes Second-Fastest To 100-Career Steals
Jareica Hughes, who by the end of her career will be the member of plenty of exclusive clubs at UTEP, joined the 100+ career steals group after registering a pair of thefts against New Mexico on Dec. 30 Hughes, who needed 39 games to do so, became the second-fastest player in program history to reach the 100-steal plateau. Overall, there are 14 players who have recorded more than 100 career steals, with Terri Pedregon holding the school record at 210.
On Record-Setting Pace Too
Not only is Jareica Hughes racking up the steals, but she is doing so at a record-setting pace. The sophomore career average stands at 2.9 spg, which is tops in school history.
100+ Three-Pointers Made
By virtue of her three triples against NMSU earlier this year, senior Kasia Krezel became just the third player in program history to make more than 100 career three pointers. Amy Billhymer holds the school standard with 208 triples, while Krezel (138) and Terri Powell (109) rank second and third, respectively.
200+ Assists and 100+ Steals and 100+ Three-Pointers Made
Kasia Krezel recently became the first member of this club, as her career numbers now stand at 230 assists, 158 steals and 138 triples.
Golden Age Of Miner Basketball
A program that has historically struggled, UTEP has come a long way in the past year-and-a half. The
UTEP Program Has Come A Long Way
The UTEP women's basketball program has made plenty of strides since in the 2001-02 season, Keitha Adams' first year as head coach. Consider the following:
* The Miners have won 50 games the past year and a half. They were victorious only 29 times over three seasons from 2001-04.
* UTEP has been ranked as high as a program and Conference
* UTEP has become competitive with talent-laden teams while learning to dominate weaker competition. The Miners are 11-7 against top-100 RPI squads and 19-4 versus teams 100-199 since the start of the 2006-07 season. UTEP has gone 17-0 against teams in the 200-299 range in that time frame too. From the 2001-02 campaign until the 2005-06 season, the Miners were 10-32 versus top-100 squads, 20-38 against 100-199 and 20-18 when facing teams 200-299.
Difference Between Winning And Losing
While it is not the only factor, one area to look to determine the outcome of the game for UTEP this year is rebounding. The Miners are 14-0 on the year when winning the battle of the boards, 12-3 when failing to do so and 2-0 when rebounds are equal. That trend proves to be true during the

I had been hunting for a project car for some time. Sold my D2 Audi S8 and picked up an old Jeep for a daily driver/winter/tow vehicle and all that was left was to get something old and fun. Always had a soft spot for Porsche so was looking at the 914/924/944s because that is what my budget allowed. Actually had a few 944's lined up that all fell through. This 914 popped up on Craigslist around midnight last Thursday, I saw it around 6:15am while brushing my teeth and messaged the seller immediately. Deposit put down on it sight unseen (you'll see why at the end) and arranged to meet that evening to exchange the title for some cash.
So the car... It was a California car and the owner brought it up to Minneapolis in the 80's. He daily drove it for several years, always storing it in the winter. One year his brother got in a fender bender, bashed up the front bumper a bit and the drivers side fender. After that he kept it in the garage, starting it occasionally, and then one day just stopped. That was over 20 years ago.
Fast forward to when I went to look at it Thursday night. It was surreal, it was EXACTLY like a "barnfind" in the Forza Horizon video games. Some small talk while we walked up to the garage, he unlocked the door and lifted it. And there, sitting in the middle of this run down garage in downtown Minneapolis and coated with a dim light from a bulb as old as the car, was this dust and dirt covered 914 with a dent or two and chewed up interior. I was living the dream.
I gave it a look over, about 30 seconds worth, then we went inside and exchanged the title for the cash and made the plan to tow it home. Friday I went and got it, tucked it away in my garage, and have been crawling all over it the last two days figuring out what I've gotten myself into.
So, why did I essentially buy a car from 1971 that is notoriously good at rusting out in the most important places? Well, first, the ad mentioned a bit of it's history, the whole garaged/California part. Second, the ad mentioned that the targa top can be removed and put into place with no binding, indicating strong sheetmetal on the frame. Third, $1,100. Yes, eleven hundred US dollars. Stupid cheap. Stupid stupid cheap. I knew that if the frame was too far gone I could part it out and come out ahead. Or weld up a bunch of it and make a rat with wide fenders. Fortunately for me, it gets even better.
Once I got it in my garage I immediately started pouring over it. Looking at all the common spots that these rust literally from the inside out. Which brings me to exhibit A:
This is what they call the "hell hole" It's the most common weakness of the 914. The battery sits just above this and over time acid and water ingress eats away the battery tray, and then everything that's below it. For reference, this is the corner directly behind the passenger seat. In the engine compartment. This spot weakens from battery acid and pooled up water, and this part of the chassis is the cars backbone, so once it's gone, the car is done. This car has a lot of surface rust here, this is after hitting it with a wire brush and sucking out all the loose stuff, but the whole area is remarkably solid when poked with a pry bar.
Here it is with the trunk lid removed, in my garage, next to a pile of parts and receipts and books that came with it.
Interior is bad, will need new foam and I'll recover the seats and dash.
Fender wells are clean. Dirty, but clean.
Underbody has some surface rust that will be cleaned up.
Front trunk is clean too!
My favorite design aspect of the car, the engine hatch.
Rolled it outside after cleaning it up a bit to get some sun.
And another angle, lots of sun in the lens though.
And that's where we start. Plan is to drop the engine and refresh some things, take care of any rust, rebuild things like the brakes and interior, and then just drive it.
Oh, and do a 5-lug swap.

Why I Won't be Eating Chick-Fil-A on August 1
As you no doubt are aware, Mike Huckabee appears to have gotten a lot of support for his declaration of August 1 as Support Chick-Fil-A Day. Clicking http://www.isupportchickfila.com/ will take you to the Facebook page he has set up, inviting people who agree with CFA CEO Dan Cathy regarding same-sex marriage to show their support by spending money at Chick-Fil-A on Wednesday, August 1. Over half a million have agreed, by "Liking" the page, and have pledged to go.
I won't be one of them.
For the record: I love Chick-Fil-A. I also hold a biblical view of same-sex relationships. Just a guess, but I'll bet Cathy and I vote very similarly. Additionally, I am very disturbed at the reaction from pro-gay individuals and organizations over the past week, much of it very unfair, and some of it (threats by local politicians to keep CFA from doing business in their respective cities) is not only illegal but a blatant example of bullying.
So what reason could I possibly have for not participating in an event which is designed to demonstrate support for a company that has been on the receiving end of this kind of treatment?
Simply put: there is nothing about the "in-your-face" reaction that reflects Christ. You won't find anything, anywhere, in Scripture which directs Christians to stick it to those who disagree with them. You won't see Jesus advocating this kind of response to those who persecute you. Whether you believe that the anti-Chick-Fil-A crowd is guilty of persecution, or if you want to tame that accusation down to bullying, there is no biblical precedent for teaching the bullies a lesson in this way.
Take a look at the few times that Scripture mentions how Jesus, (or, after His ascension, His followers), deal with opposers. When Stephen was the first martyr, did the Church protest? When Paul and Silas got jailed, were the other Christians beating their chest, demanding their rights? No, they were in a house, praying.
[This is not to say that the anti-CFA people are persecuting Christians, certainly not on the same level as we see in the book of Acts, but it's the closest example we have in the bible. The focus here isn't on the pro-gay adherents. I'm trying to draw your attention to the reaction of the early saints.]
Besides the aforementioned reason to not respond this way, there's also the unfortunate result: counter-protests. Already, several pro-gay organizations are arranging events such as the same-sex kiss event on Friday Aug. 3. If this thing becomes a tit-for-tat fight between the two sides, then Chick-Fil-A stores will become the center of multiple protests. People who don't want their kids to see men kissing men will stop eating there. Is that what we want?
When His followers tried to drag Him into political and culture battles, Jesus repeatedly replied that His kingdom is not of this world. Who among us thinks that by flexing our muscle on August 1, we're going to change anyone's heart? That we're going to help even one person know Him better?
I don't know what I'll do for lunch tomorrow: I'll certainly pray. I encourage Christians to ask WWJD? and do the same.

It's so simple, isn't it? But then Mike Huckabee would get all the attention, would he?. One day we shall all know with a certainty beyond words that the politicization of faith has been a huge mistake. Of course, it will be too late then...

I just thought it was about showing support for Cathy and Chick-Fil-A, thanking him for not being afraid to speak as he believes. At least, that's what I've been hearing and what the Facebook page says. I'm not seeing anything about it being an "In your face liberals!" kind of event. But I appreciate where you are coming from, and agree with your viewpoint. I'll be skipping the event, too. Not that I don't want to show support, but that Chick-Fil-A is almost impossible to get into on a normal day. The crowds on August 1 will be insane, and maybe in more ways than one.

Thank you for writing this. I am so, so, so sick and tired of Christians who think they have been called to be the moral police of the world. And who engage in tit-for-tat, like children on a playground exchanging insults. You are so right that Jesus never encouraged this at all, anywhere that I can see. Christians do not really trust the Holy Spirit, bottom line. I believe that is the reason they get so caught up in trying to 'correct' everyone else.

Corrinne, I'm all for supporting CFA, But last night, I saw a FB post which indicated that, for some, it's more about showing the pro-gay crowd how wrong they are, and I started to get troubled by that. I never see Jesus tell us to be defiant, especially when it comes to non-salvation topics.

I don't agree. I think it is solidarity for what you believe in. Chick fil-A was making a stand for what they believe and whether it is a personal friend or a business I am totally going to support them and encourage them to continue making a biblical stand. I do not see it as bullying at all. Oreo's took their stand and made a gay pride cookie, or you not going to take their stand because they are making their stand against God's Word?
- July 31, 2012 at 5:59 PM
- James said...
Grace, the biblical example I see of taking a stand is not anything like what I am seeing this week amongst my fellow believers. Taking a stand back then meant simply not participating in idolatrous behavior (Shadrach and the other two), praying for Peter while he was unfairly incarcerated (Acts 12:5). The biblical model is a good one.
- August 1, 2012 at 7:43 AM
Dito :) I just went to show my love and support for the Cathy family. It never crossed my mind that it was an "in your face" act.
- August 1, 2012 at 12:39 PM
- Amanda Reed said...
Thank you for the voice of reason! If you and I were to sit down and talk, we'd probably have a lot of differences politically and theologically... but the one thing that is greater than all that is our mutual love of Jesus Christ and our mutual desire to follow Him. It was refreshing to see that even from opposite sides of the aisle (so to speak) we came to the same conclusion: hot-headed culture wars over earthly things that will pass away are foolish and distract from the greater purpose of living as Christ's hands and feet in this world (but not of it). Oh--one other difference we would have... I've never liked the taste of their chicken and never considered it a "good meal". LOL
- August 1, 2012 at 11:14 PM
What I saw yesterday was a show of support. I don't think a person there had an "in your face" attitude. Those who oppose Chickfila may be taking that way, I do understand, but I don't think that's the intent at all. It was a very peaceful, show of support for a company that supports biblical marriage. I have a feeling that August 3 will not be nearly as peaceful---
- August 2, 2012 at 7:52 AM
Taking a stand is also doing what you do despite the world around you... Daniel prayed before and after the law was made not to pray... that's how the people who hated him knew to catch him living his life for God. Making a stand is not just praying, it's faith that is alive and true and shines through a simple statement of faith or the choice to support or not support.

"We didn't take the opportunities that we should," said Minnesota coach Manny Lagos. "We've got to regroup. We need to be prepared for two tough road games to close the season out."
The New York Cosmos were held to a 1-1 draw by last-place Indy Eleven and remain three points behind with two games to play. Sebastian Guenzatti put the Cosmos in front with only four minutes played, but midfielder Brad Ring equalized inside the final 15 minutes at Hofstra University.
The San Antonio Scorpions climbed to third place behind Cosmos only on goal difference thanks to a stoppage-time goal by Tomasz Zahorski in a 3-2 come-from-behind win over the Ottawa Fury, ts third win on the road in three games.
A wild last half hour saw San Antonio go ahead on a Greg Janicki goal, the Fury hit back with goals from Tony Donatelli from the penalty spot and Sinisa Ubiparipovic, and Eric Hassli equalize with a penalty before Zahorski's dramatic winner four minutes into stoppage time.
"We're 3-0 on the road, that's great to say," San Antonio coach Alen Marcina. "We battled hard today, and we needed three points today to stay in the top three. The guys played very hard and showed character. We're very happy."
Second-half goals from defenders Willie Hunt and Blake Wagner and midfielder Anthony Wallace gave the host Tampa Bay Rowdies a 3-2 come-from-behind victory to dent the title hopes of the shorthanded Fort Lauderdale Strikers.
Late goals by Horace James and Kwadwo Poku stole three points from FC Edmonton for the Atlanta Silverbacks, capping a 2-1 triumph on the road.

A study conducted in the University of Rhode Island indicates that almost four out of five college students (78%) have sent or received text messages containing sexually suggestive content, also known as "sexting". What is even more disturbing is the fact that over half of those suggestive texts (56%) have been accompanied by equally questionable images. At least the majority of sexters (73%) say that they have only sent such text messages to their very special someone. However, one in ten of the college students who engage in sexting admit they have done so even though they barely knew the recipient.
Nevertheless, this information is not necessarily a cause for you, dear parents, to freak out, as the survey includes information collected by only 204 college students and does not necessarily represent the behavior of the entire nation's young adults. However, you may want to have a chat with your kids and make sure they are familiar with the moral and social issues that such an activity raises, you know, just so that they do not get into deep trouble one day.

CHAPEL HILL - Third-seeded North Carolina got four goals from Kara Cannizzaro and three goals and an assist from Laura Zimmerman and defeated unseeded Virginia, 15-7, on Saturday afternoon in women's lacrosse NCAA Tournament first-round action from Fetzer Field. Becky Lynch and Emily Garrity each added a goal and two assists for Carolina (14-5), which defeated Virginia (9-9) for the third time this season and the fourth time in a row.
The Tar Heels advance and will host sixth-seed Loyola (Md.) next Saturday (May 21) at 1 p.m. in the NCAA quarterfinals. Loyola beat Massachusetts, 14-7, on Saturday afternoon in Baltimore.
On the day, Carolina also got two goals from Abbey Friend, two from Brittney Coppa , a goal and an assist from Corey Donohoe and a goal from Margaret Corzel.
For Virginia, Katie Slater and Dana Boyle both scored twice and Charlie Finnigan had a goal and an assist. Ainsley Baker and Julie Gardner had single goals for the Cavaliers and Annie Thomas added an assist.
"It's always hard to beat an opponent three times in season, and I'm pleased with our focus today," UNC head coach Jenny Levy said afterward. "We had only played one game since the ACC Tournament three weeks ago, so I also was happy that we came out with focus today."
Carolina maintained a lead throughout the first half, scoring first and leading 3-1 after seven minutes of play. Virginia's Boyle scored to cut the lead to 3-2 at the 21:33 mark of the half before the Tar Heels got three consecutive goals from Friend, Cannizzaro and Coppa to take a 6-2 lead. The squads traded goals in the final minutes for a 7-3 UNC lead at halftime.
Carolina out-shot the Cavaliers 14-8 and committed 15 fouls to UVa's 7 in the opening half. Cannizzaro scored two goals in the opening 30 minutes with Lynch and Zimmerman each adding one goal and one assist. Slater scored twice in the first half for Virginia.
Garrity scored on a free position goal just over three minutes into the second half, at which point the game was suspended for an hour and 38 minutes due to severe weather in the area. Virginia's Baker scored off transition to cut the lead to 8-4 Tar Heels just 32 seconds after resuming play. Cannizzaro scored her third goal, an unassisted effort, at the 22:37 mark to make it 9-4 Carolina. Zimmerman then scored on a free position try with 18:35 to go, making the score 10-4.
Back-to-back goals from Friend and Zimmerman made it 12-4 and forced a Cavalier timeout with 13:47 to play. The teams traded goals down the stretch and the final score was 15-7.
Carolina out-shot Virginia 30-22 in the game and controlled 14 draws to Virginia's 10, including an 8-5 edge in the second half. Lauren Maksym went the distance in goal for UNC, tallying nine saves. Kim Kolarik played all 60 minutes in the cage for UVa and made eight saves.
The Tar Heels' win was their third over the Cavaliers this season. On March 12, UNC beat UVa 8-7 in Chapel Hill in the regular season. Carolina also beat the Cavaliers 16-5 in the first round of the ACC Tournament on April 22 in Cary, N.C. Along with with a 17-7 UNC win over UVa in the 2010 NCAA Tournament quarterfinals, Carolina has beaten UVa four straight times. Overall, UNC has won six of the last seven installments in the series and is now 5-1 against Virginia in NCAA Tournament games.

Brief Introduction of Zhuang Zi
Time: 770 B.C.-256B.C.
Location of Capital:Disunity of the country
Emperors: Five hegemony in Spring and Autumn, Seven Kings in Warring States
Replaced by: Qin Dynasty
'Zhuangzi' is the name of the second foundational text of the Daoist philosophical and religious tradition and the name of the putative author of this text, who early historical sources say flourished between about 350 and 300 B.C.E. As one of the two most popular Daoist texts in the Chinese tradition, the Zhuangzi has been the subject of more than sixty major East Asian commentaries since the third century C.E., some of which contain philosophically significant interpretations of the text. The most important of these are the commentary by Guo Xiang, which focuses on his understanding of Zhuangzi's philosophy of spontaneity, the commentary by Cheng Xuanying (ca. 620-670), a religious Daoist master with strong interests in emptiness theory, and commentaries by the following Sung and Ming dynasty literati scholars: Wang Pang (1042-76), Lin Xiyi (ca. 1200-73), Lo Miandao (ca. 1240-1300), and Jiao Hong (1541-1620).
None of these has been fully translated into English and modern studies of them in any language are few, thus yielding a fertile field for future research. The existence of these commentaries demonstrates the great popularity of the Zhuangzi among Chinese literati who saw within it support for a withdrawal from a life of social and political service into a private life of reclusion and self-cultivation. If Confucianism came to stand for the foundational philosophy of this ethos of self-sacrifice, the Daoism of the Zhuangzi came to stand for its opposite, the escape from societal pressure into an individual path of freedom. While thus important to literati scholars, the work was also significant for Daoist religious practitioners who often took ideas and themes from it for their meditation practice, for example Sima Chengzhen's 'Treatise on Sitting and Forgetting' (ca. 660 C.E.) (Kohn 1987).
What we know of the philosophy of Zhuangzi comes primarily from this work but readers of translations of the received recension (Watson, Graham 1981, Mair 1998) should be aware of the following provisos.
First, the received recension contains thirty-three chapters and is not the original recension of the text. Guo Xiang (d. 312 C.E.) revised a fifty-two chapter original recension first listed in Imperial bibliographies circa 110 C.E. by removing material he thought was superstitious and generally not of philosophical interest to his literati sensibilities. He appended a philosophical commentary to the text that became famous and within four centuries his shorter and snappier expurgated recension became the only one known. This recension is traditionally divided into three sections: 'Inner Chapters' (1-7), 'Outer Chapters' (8-22), 'Miscellaneous Chapters' (23-33). This division is quite old and is likely to have been part of the original recension.
Second, the Zhuangzi text is clearly not the work of a single author and it is difficult to affix definitive authorship to any one person. At the very least there are five authorial voices best summarized by A.C. Graham: the historical Zhuangzi, later followers of Zhuangzi, followers influenced by the individualist thinker Yang Zhu, a 'Primitivist' Daoist author whose ideas are akin to those of the Daode jing, and the 'Syncretist' Daoist authors who Graham thinks compiled the first recension of the text (Graham 1979).
While it is true that many of the philosophical insights for which this work has become renowned in China and more recently in the West are found in the 'Inner Chapters' that have traditionally been ascribed to the historical Zhuangzi, we cannot fully understand these ideas and their significance without grasping how they relate to the entire thirty-three chapter text and the variety of ideas it contains. In this entry we shall accept the convention that a historical Zhuangzi authored most of the seven 'Inner chapters' while noting that there have been questions about this attribution that are not sufficient to overturn this traditional belief.
The Zhuangzi has become renowned for a series of original insights into human nature and the nature of the cosmos and many of these are found in the 'Inner chapters.' These insights are communicated in a variety of literary styles: didactic narratives, poetry, and very short prose essays. Like its famous companion, the Daode jing, the Zhuangzi is grounded in the complementary ideas of Dao and De. Dao, the 'Way,' is an ineffable monistic principle that infuses and guides the spontaneous processes of all phenomena; De, 'Inner Power,' is the realized manifestation of this Way within all phenomena. Despite sharing these foundational ideas, these two Daoist works discuss them very differently. The Daode jing often presents the characteristics and features of the Way in a direct discursive analysis (e.g., DDJ 1: "The Way that can be told of is not the Constant Way"). On the other hand, the Zhuangzi often approaches the Way indirectly through narratives and poetry. Witness the following rhetorical pointing to the Way:

My friend and I were wondering, is Ragnarok Online P2P? Because I hear it is, and some ppl say it isn't, so I am confused! Also, at what lvls is it fun to/can you pk or PvP?
RO has a free server......Valkyrie.
She knows how to party.
i don't think ro ever had a pk system.

Too summarize the whole P2P F2P thing..
Like all P2P's.
The Trials are crap.. but when you pay for it, You get to experience so much more.
Making a copy of a P2P into a F2P
Is like finding an old fcked up torn & abandoned house, and simply sticking a sign in front of it saying "Shelter Home".
It fails, it's crap, and unless your poor or your parents are too cheap, it's the best you got.

you're better off playing a cough server

Hey Raiyne
The quest are new to me D: They didn't have repeatable experience quest before when I played..Turned in the quest 8 times in a row and I got about 11 levels, from level 20-31 . It's pretty easy to level in this game now. I think Dark already reached level 50/39 or so and it's only his 2nd day on.
They are quite new to me, but those quest are there on pservs and p2p servs too :S...
Anyway, Valkyrie RO is not too bad if you can ignore the bots and zenny sellers (seriously they both are incredibly annoying) and don't mind the grind, RO has always been a grindy games, even though repeatable xp quest and some new areas makes lvling easier. The grind can still be a pain, but dependantly on your way of playing (thinking), can be pretty relaxing or pretty frustrating ...
Valkyrie server is f2p.. the other ro server is p2p.
if you were looking for f2p of RO game, maybe you should try private server of RO. there you can choose a pk server and a high rate server...
yap too many to choose for playing private server in RO to test something also it is high rated. crap RO making f2p server Valkyrie but the items you need has its equivalent cost
