After less than a year of paparazzi-documented coziness, Joe Jonas and Ashley Greene are dunzo. Multiple outlets are reporting that the middle Jonas brother, 21, and the "Twilight" starlet, 24, have gone their separate ways, and their reps confirm the split to People.
"It was mutual and amicable," an insider tells the New York Post, which cites the old standby of busy work schedules as the reason for the split.
The relationship, which kicked off last summer, reportedly ended a few weeks ago (the pair was last photographed together in late February). But not everyone believes the decision to call it quits was entirely a joint one.
"Joe wasn't that into it," a source shrugs to Us, which says the romance hit a rough patch last month.
"They broke up shortly before her [Feb. 21] birthday," says a source, "then got back together."
That might explain why Joe was photographed keeping his purity ring-free hands stiffly at his side as Greene threw her arms around him during her birthday bash at Pure nightclub in Las Vegas.
Still, she gushed to People magazine about the vintage Chanel charm bracelet he gave her to mark the occasion: "I absolutely love it because he knows what I like."
Jonas also talked up how simpatico they were in the April issue of Details, noting that the relationship "feels good."
"I think what works about it is she really puts my feelings first," he shared. "She understands my busy schedule. She'll fly out to my shows -- she's been to places in South America that I can't even pronounce."
RELATED: More of Joe in Details
Jonas also racked up the frequent-flier miles for Greene, twice joining her in Baton Rouge while she was on location for "Breaking Dawn."
If Ashley is upset by the bust-up, she wasn't letting on while hanging in New York this week. The Post says she hit hot spot Avenue with several pals, including Kings of Leon rocker Jared Followill.
RELATED: Ashley on Joe: 'He's sweet and really funny'
As for Joe, whose famous exes include Taylor Swift (ditched in a 27 second phone call that later spawned the hit song "Forever & Always"), Camilla Belle and Demi Lovato, the breakup should provide some additional emotional fodder for him to mine for his forthcoming solo record.

Astronomer: Near-Earth Asteroid Won't Be Visible From Georgia
If it were to hit earth, 2012 DA 14 would flatten an area about 750 miles in diameter, says David Dundee of Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville.
An asteroid Friday will pass Earth within the moon's orbit, flying lower than communications, weather and GPS satellites high above the planet, according to Space.com. While it will be the nearest to Earth an object of its size has ever passed, asteroid 2012 DA 14 won't be visible from Georgia, even with a telescope, because the action will happen during the daylight hours, said astronomer David Dundee, who analyzes images and data captured by NASA's fireball cameras at Tellus Science Museum in nearby Cartersville. "The distance is about 1/13th the distance to the moon," Dundee said, adding the asteroid will be the closest—17,200 miles from Earth—at 2:24 p.m. "2012 DA 14 is about 150 feet across and traveling at a speed of over 17,000 …

Have you ever asked yourself, "I wonder if hypnotism really works?"
Personally, I have pondered that question many times throughout my lifetime.
So, while searching for entertainment for your chamber's annual meeting, I was contacted be a gentleman living in Atlanta who is a comedian as well as a hypnotist.
We talked for several minutes, and I became interested. A few days later, as he had promised, his information arrived in the mail. After reading the endorsements from people throughout the country, many of whom I know personally, I felt he would be a great fit for our annual meeting.
Again we talked and his schedule was open for our planned affair on Tuesday, Jan. 22, so we agreed for him to come to Newberry to do a show for you.
Please allow me to tell you about what awaits you on the evening of this event.
The Firehouse Conference Center will be open at 6 p.m. and for about one hour and 20 minutes you will be treated to fantastic food and drinks as you meet fellow chamber members in a meet and greet environment.
We ask you be seated in the Opera House by 7:30 p.m. for an evening of laughter and enjoyment, where Doctor Holiday will make your evening complete.
Now I ask you, where can you go to have this kind of evening for $30?
Please know that your chamber staff promises to make this a great event that you will remember for years to come, and you just may find answers to questions that all of us are asking.
Also, you will want to include our Quarterly Legislative Update Breakfast on your calendar.
As one of your chamber benefits, we present your State Representative Walt McLeod and your State Senator Ronnie Cromer, who will provide their insight on what is happening in Columbia and how these items will affect you.
This year we will be utilizing another member's restaurant, Dee's Family Restaurant, located on S.C. Highway 76 near Pioneer Foods, just outside of Prosperity.
Please mark your calendar for Tuesday, Feb. 5 from 7:30 until 9 a.m.
We promise you will not be disappointed with a full service breakfast buffet as well as the opportunity to hear from and talk with our legislators, all for a mere 10 dollars each.
The year 2013 will be a year of challenges, this we know, so you really need to consider getting involved in chamber events.
Let me assure you that you will never be disappointed when you attend a chamber function.
Should you have questions regarding these programs, please call Liz, Michelle, or me at 276-4274.
Why not start out 2013 by supporting your Newberry County Chamber of Commerce.

Riff's ultimate fate? Is the strip wrapping up and I just haven't been paying attention? Or is Riff just getting written out of the story?
I believe by 'ultimate fate' what's meant is 'does DoN-Riff make it out of the DoR and back to the DoN'.

Residents Express University Station Concerns to Selectmen
Residents filled the room at the Downey School to voice their concerns with the University Station development in an open forum-style setting before the Board of Selectmen.
Over 100 Westwood residents filled the cafeteria at the Downey School last night as the Board of Selectmen held a meeting with the main topic of discussion being the University Station development. With the Planning Board and Finance and Warrant Commission also in attendance, and some residents forced to stand because there were no more chairs, the Selectmen ran the meeting as an open hearing to give residents the opportunity to voice their concerns with the project. 30 people had the chance to speak, with the most often mentioned concerns being traffic and the effects the residential portion of the project would have on the school system. "I'm glad that other people have the same concerns- housing, schools and traffic," Pam Peckinpaugh…

Have questions about eBooks? Check out our eBook FAQs. Product DescriptionWhether you realize it or not, you are already a woman of resolutions. Whenever you decide to treat people a certain way or participate in particular activities, you are resolving to live life in a way that will impact your future. Since you are already making resolutions, why not be intentional about the ones you make? Written in partnership with the film, COURAGEOUS, The Resolution for Women focuses on joyfully honoring God as a wife, mother, and family member while resolving to live with the grace that leaves a godly legacy.
Product Information
Publisher's DescriptionWritten in partnership with Sherwood Pictures' upcoming film, COURAGEOUS, in The Resolution for Women, popular speaker and author Priscilla Shirer challenges all women to be intentional about embracing and thriving in God's beautiful and eternal calling on their lives.
Like the men in the movie who resolve to fully accept their responsibilities before God, Shirer explains how today's women can and should live out their own resolution. It is "a defining banner that hangs over your life, written in the ink of your own choices." A woman's banner should be an accurate reflection of who she desires to be-someone completely Christ-centered who blesses and changes things in her world for the better. The Resolution for Women inspires women with intentional, spirit-filled living from three unique angles. Section one, entitled, "This Is Who I Am," helps a woman define herself as "authentically me, purposefully feminine, surprisingly satisfied, and faithfully His." Section two, "This Is What I Have," invites her to value "my best, my blessing, my honor, and my heart." And Section three, "This Is What Matters To Me," focuses on joyfully honoring God as a wife, mother, and family member while resolving to live with the grace that leaves a godly legacy. The Resolution for Women is designed to inspire a revolution. Author BioPriscilla Shirer is a Bible teacher and conference speaker with a Masters degree in Biblical Studies from Dallas Theological Seminary. Also a popular author, her books include the New York Times best seller The Resolution for Women, One in a Million, and Life Interrupted. Priscilla is married to Jerry with whom she founded Going Beyond Ministries. They have three sons and live in Dallas, Texas.
Stephen Kendrick is senior associate pastor of preaching and prayer at Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia. He is also a screenwriter (Facing the Giants, Fireproof, Courageous) and movie producer and co-wrote the New York Times best sellers The Love Dare and The Resolution for Men with his brother, Alex. Stephen and his wife, Jill, have four children.
Alex Kendrick is associate pastor of movie outreach for Sherwood Baptist Church. He is also an actor, writer, and director whose film credits include Facing the Giants, Fireproof, and Courageous. He and his wife, Christina, have six children.

1039 Smooth
Green Day can definitely be considered one of the iconic bands of modern times, with platinum plaques dating back nearly twenty years to 1992's 'Kerplunk' album. In 2004 the Punk-Rock band Green Day released the critically acclaimed, politically driven, multi platinum selling album 'American Idiot', it would be this album that would finally see them crowned as rock 'n' roll royalty.
For Green Day it all begins at a venue called the Gilman in 1989, it was here that the band honed their performance and were able to gauge there song writing skills. By the end of the year the band released the adolescent and bratty '1039 Smooth' EP on Lookout Records founded by Lawrence Livermore. This would later become the 1990 album '39/Smooth', which would become their first full-length album release. Two years later their second album "Kerplunk" became a huge underground success, which led to the band leaving Lookout records and signing with the Major label Reprise records.
The release of the "Dookie" album in 1994 marked the moment the whole world was introduced to Green Day's band members; Billie Joe Armstrong (Lead vocals, lead and rhythm guitar), Mike Dirnt (Bass) and Tre Cool (drums and percussion). 'Dookie' would go on to sell a reported 15 million units worldwide.
Green Day's music has always been characteristic of Punk, Anti-establishment, and hard-edged guitar-driven music, yet many a debate has been held over the Punk-Rock status of Green Day, in particular whether Green Day can be considered "Punk" at all. John Lydon (or Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols) a significant Punk contributor has repeatedly dismissed Green Day being what he considers "Punk". Regardless of whether they are or aren't "Punk" Green Day continue to have considerable success across the globe.
2004's 'American idiot' album would be their crowning glory, in a climate polluted with illegal downloading, Green Day were without doubt, the band of the year, out wrestling U2 for the title. This eventually led to over 14 million sales worldwide and a Grammy for record of the year with the song "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams".
The bands most recent effort "21st Century Breakdown" sold over 215,000 copies in it's first three days of release and consequently reached number one on the Billboard album chart and No.1 in a further 13 countries, a clear sign that Green Day, as middle aged men, are as relevant among fans as ever.

Honestly tho, I just wish Turbine would come right out & say it, once & for all.

Re: Let the Creeps run Free on all the Lands!
Turbine has stated it a number of times. This request has been going on since I started playing back in June, 2007. The Russian operator having live with the Creeps out increased the number of "Let it out" requests to Turbine. Turbine has a long cool downs on repeats. It is tiresome after a while doing the following:
1) it is never going happen as the last post by a Turbine employee.
2) Lock thread.
All that is going to happen is threads being started to discuss it some more. Plus threads on heavy handed moderation. All of which have to be locked or deleted. Infraction points handed out.
Sometimes the best solution as a moderator is to ignore something. Some companies and organizations go this route with suggestion and feedback boxes. Your stuff goes in the box. Once a week someone empties the box into the trash can.

Re: Let the Creeps run Free on all the Lands!
If, and mean if, Turbine really wanted to implement something like this, that could go the SWG route. Use a command to join in on the PvMP for the freeps, like /PvMP. If you log in on a creep, you are automatically PvP. That will not force PvP but it would allow free world creep running. The downside for Turbine is that is one of the last good reasons to have a VIP account right now. I have no interest in PvP, but it seemed to work for SWG.

Re: Let the Creeps run Free on all the Lands!
It would be nice to get our creeps outside for a bit but, even with a PvP option flag, many PvEers will still disagree because they say they'll be harrassed by creeps even with flag off... as if you can't already do that with two freeps.
Could work maybe in a skirmish style thing. Creeps and freeps are allowed a brief window of maybe a week every month in which a skirmish sort of thing is open to everyone. You talk to an NPC to enter the skirmish that's always on during this time and you just go out and do the same stuff as in Ettens just with a different area. Still have the usual open world zone but also a hidden layer for PvP only accessible through an NPC.
It could be fun, yes, but the problem is this was one of the things that Turbine was not allowed to do. They aren't allowed to do open world PvP but that doesn't mean they can't create a skirmish style layer every so often involving a random region to fight it out in.
I haven't read any of the other comments but, if they haven't already, prepare yourself for a load of 'this would cost too much money so we (i.e. the greedy PvEers) don't want it!'

Heck, I really wish they would take sparring out.
Last night I declined to spar someone and they called me a "loser". And I can't even count how many times that sort of thing has happened since I started playing the game.
I could see having special events, like Medieval style tournaments (especially if mounted combat is coming) where people volunteered to fight each other and the rest of the people could just ignore it.http://my.lotro.com/character/landroval/galadthryth/

Re: Let the Creeps run Free on all the Lands!
If they made my character PvP enabled even for a day I wouldn't bother to log in that day. I don't want to PvP. I simply don't enjoy the friendly banter that the highly competitive types who enjoy PvP exchange between each other. I don't find taunts, insults and being killed by a character I have no chance of competing against (due to that character being setup for nothing but PvP) fun in any way, shape or form.

Re: Let the Creeps run Free on all the Lands!
I know that Turbine won't/can't do this, but I did at least want to say that I personally would LOVE to defend various places from the map against the creeps. If it was an announced annual event, that could be fun but of course a LOT of people would be upset, but even a PvP instanced area from the map would be fun too, anything for a change of scenery. So while yes I know it will never happen, for a lot of reasons, I still love this idea.

Re: Let the Creeps run Free on all the Lands!
I like your idea. A modified of your idea. Every day it would change Regions. Let say Bree one day. Lonelands the Next day and so on. If a Creep of pvmp toon trys to exit that zone It block.
Only people in pvp mode would see Creeps. Otherwise it would not affect non pvmp players and non pvmp would not see a creep. To prevent anyone accidently going into pvmp zones while playing. Start it in the Log in screen.
There will 3 on the log in screen
1 Main (that what we see now) Moors
2 Monster Play Moors and Reigonal Play.
3 PVMP Region Play and MoorsLast edited by Celt_Ainvar; May 19 2012 at 02:25 AM.

Re: Let the Creeps run Free on all the Lands!
i don't get why some people hate pvp.. i mean okay, you hate competition i guess. but why would you get so annoyed at spars? it takes about as much time as it does to kill a few on lvl mobs. winning or losing a spar isn't even a big deal since winners don't win anything and losers don't lose anything lol.. it's the pettiest thing one can be upset about.
also, personally, i think sparring makes you a better player; helps learn to think on your feet, quick reaction time etc.

Re: Let the Creeps run Free on all the Lands!
Normally I would have responded with a no, mainly as I play Eve a fair bit and the last thing this game needs is the camping & griefing antics imported from that game into the supposedly safe / starter areas.
However, this game does need a shake up so I will say yes but with the following:
1. They have to break out of the Ettenmoors through Glan Vraig or make a long journey from Mount Grams to Angmar by foot. No starting off elsewhere.
2. No fast travel options for creeps - if they want to go to Breeland then they have to run. Saraman's Uruk's had use leg power to Ambush the fellowship and I cannot think of any other examples in the lore of Orcs / Uruks moving vast distances overland.
3. The creep's effective level reduces to reflect the nominal level of the area they are in. For example, the creeps mount a concerted attack on Glan Vraig and break through and get down to Rivendel, their effective level changes to say 35. And say they got into the lone Lands it would reduce to mid 20s etc. This would reflect the effects of their being far from their homes, daylight and the reducing effect of Sauron's / Saruman's will on their morale. By the time they get to Bree or even the Shire they would be a spent force & easily dealt with.
4. Factions. Not all enemies to the free peoples would be their allies. We all know how splintered and fractured orc tribes were in the books so let's reflect that. E.g. in Moria the Moria orc tribes would take a dim view of a bunch of newcomers invading their space and would welcome the opportunity for meat to be back on the menu. Same with those areas in Angmar where Orc tribes are located. Same for wargs / spiders.
5. The guards outside each settlement are beefed up a bit and attack on sight. No guard pulling antics or exploits please.
6. Give freeps the option to opt out of pvp.
7. Turbine crack down hard on any reported griefing etc.Bango (85 Burg) - Extraordinary Adventurer's League

Re: Let the Creeps run Free on all the Lands!
I've played WoW on a RP-PvP server.
I'd be willing to bet Laurelin would make a fine RP-PvP server too. Speaking from experience, ganking was very rare on RP-PvP.
Also, world-PvP can add a lot to RP.
While being afraid of gankers et al. serves a purpose, it distracts from the possibilities and opportunities.
Bad apples spoiling the basket, and in the end we all lose to the gankers, even if they didn't get do anything yet. Just their existance in other games... Makes you think eh?

Re: Let the Creeps run Free on all the Lands!
When people start using declining spars to "verbally" abuse people (as the poster you commented on said happened to him), disliking sparring is going to be the result.
Personally, I simply run with the sparring flag off. If someone starts insulting me over that choice, he'll go straight to my ignore list. If he tries "physical" action, there will be a harassment report filed.
One of problems is that some people love PvP in all it's varieties so much that they will do nearly anything to induce others to partake, whether those others wish to or not (this is a BIG problem in any game where one can be flagged for PvP accidentally). The solution that Turbine has constructed, having PvMP in a separate zone that can't be entered inadvertently and a "no spar" flag, is a good one.

Re: Let the Creeps run Free on all the Lands!
On the Russian server, on one occasion, they let the creeps out of the Ettenmoors. Unfortunately, the creeps found a way to escape the zone they were allowed into and spread across the map. Hence the suggestion to install that particular client and play on that server. (I have no idea if that server is still operating or not.)

Re: Let the Creeps run Free on all the Lands!
Because there's already enough competition in real life, and I play games to get a break from real life. Plus the way I was brought up emphasized using one's skills to help others towards a common goal, not stomp them and crow about it.
As for sparring (or anything else in the game that I don't enjoy, but that you might want me to do), my time is my time. Trying to tell me that I should offer myself up for your enjoyment is pretty arrogant.

Re: Let the Creeps run Free on all the Lands!
It's not a "vast majority", but there are enough jerks that it ruins my enjoyment, in every game. I actually played on a hardcore PvP server in AC for a few months, but the mindless viciousness that people employed eventually caused me to give up on it. Example: my very first minutes on that world consisted of getting killed by a level 35 player 7 times (until someone else made a character and he was distracted killing the new guy). There was no plausible reason for it - at level 1, I had nothing whatever of value. He just entertained himself each night killing n00bs as often as possible... I saw him there several times in the weeks I played on Darktide.
In any case, I rather like "competition", but I vastly prefer the "sportsman" model for competition - there are strongly enforced rules, plus a code of ethics/behavior that builds character and rewards virtue. When a high school kid raked his nails down my back enough to draw blood (and leave scars) in a water polo game, the ref ejected him from the game and his coach suspended him from their team for a month. Later, when I was in college on a swimming scholarship, one of our best athletes said and did some extremely ugly things to a guy on another team. Our coach suspended him indefinitely (and threatened him with losing his scholarship), only relenting once the athlete called both the other swimmer and that swimmer's coach to apologize.
Obviously, there are jerks everywhere in life - including PvE in MMOs. But in PvP, those jerks have real power (and too few restraints, self-imposed or otherwise), and I just don't find it a pleasant environment to hang out in.

Re: Let the Creeps run Free on all the Lands!
I agree with all your points except this one, creeps wouldn't be able to get anywhere at all, they'd be one-shotted in Rivendell if they were lvl 35. If not by npc's then by capped players. I think the answer would be to simply not let un-capped characters flag for pvp. That way only capped characters, who want to participate will be affected at all.
Probably shouldn't have creeps fighting landscape mobs either, except freep allies like guards and such, because the non-pvp people will complain the creeps are killing their mobs, and it opens up the possibility of creeps griefing by killing quest mobs and on purpose. If anything like this had any chance at all of making it into the game, they(Turbine) would have to make sure the non-pvp people didn't get angry for any reason, because honestly, that's probably most of their income.Last edited by Moejo; May 19 2012 at 11:54 PM.

AW: Let the Creeps run Free on all the Lands!
I used to play games that had open pvp (pk etc.) and I do agree that there are people out there who enjoy a good fight, but most players you'll find there are just looking for easy kills to bolster their ego.
Personally I don't see any reason whatsoever why creeps should be able to "run free on all lands" in the first place. What could a lvl 12 toon do against a lvl 75 creep other than feeding the creep players ego by dying?
As for spars ... You can spar all day long, just don't do it inside places like auction halls or places with enough lag already.

Re: Let the Creeps run Free on all the Lands!
i understand your plight good men and ladies! i used to be pretty peeved out by spars and the moors. i am not a good pvper, and i didn't want to be defeated pathetically by people who were more experienced and built exclusively for pvp. that was before i was told by a friend that this is only a game. and mean people on a game or the internet earn nothing but contempt at the end of the day.
sure it blows to get farmed when you are clearly outmatched; sure some people can be utter dirtbags; but they only get to be that way if you let them get to you.. took me a lot of time and swallowing a lot of virtual pride for me to delve into pvp. i get my stuff kicked in on the daily. but when you have principle, it shows. i'm friends with a lot of people who have a reputation built around pvp. and i know about 800 who's ill repute is larger than any online persona should be lol but don't let that get to you.
there's a sheer excitement in pvp that droll pve cannot fulfill and that's the only reason i would urge ANYONE to try sparring/pvping. i used to think i was a well-rounded, situationally aware player until I started pvping. It has it's own sort of challenge, and own sort of reward. and i truly believe it makes one a better player in terms of skill (even though i acknowledge the skill of many players who don't pvp, but i have come to appreciate the merit of quick thinking since i started pvping).

Re: Let the Creeps run Free on all the Lands!
The only way something like this would be viable is if the Creeps had to start as on-level players in the various regions. They could start in Bree-Land or the Shire at the Goblin camps or in Ered Luin at one of the Dourhand camps, all at level 15 with appropriate skill sets for the level. They could chose other higher level locations such as the Orc Ruins in the Lonelands at level 25, or Trollshaws at level 35, etc., all the way up to level 75 in the appropriate areas. They could be given 24 or 48 hours to run some quests set up for them and battle landscape mobs, with the intent of gaining as many levels and skills as possible before the big event.
On the announced date, all of Middle Earth would become PvP for 1 day. Since there would be advanced warning, the Freeps would have enough time to prepare too and with the Creeps scattered and at various levels, it would be pretty much a fair fight, perhaps slightly in favor of the Freeps due to sheer volume of numbers even though the Creeps would have the advantage of experience at PvP.Last edited by Adder; May 21 2012 at 03:08 AM.

I was only speaking of my own experiences, & from those experiences, I stand by my words: the vast majority of PvP hounds are people with whom I've no interest associating.
What makes you think people replying to this thread haven't tried PvP?
Instanced PvP is tolerable, but it's just another faction grind for pixellated rewards. Non-instanced, open-world PvP is a miserable, worthless gank-fest. Both of them end up causing massive balance headaches for developers, & endless amounts of angst, drama, & irritation among players. It's simply not worth the effort.

Re: Let the Creeps run Free on all the Lands!
This. I've tried PvP in a dozen different MMOs, including a hardcore PvP server in AC (2 months) and EVE Online (6 months). The problem isn't with the competition, it's the immature jerks - a minority among PvPers, but a large enough one to make things unpleasant (at least for me).
My opinions on keeping PvP contained and fully segregated from PvE exist because I've tried PvP in numerous games, and don't want the negatives I've experienced showing up here. Yes, it has positives too, but not nearly enough to justify the changes IMO.
An example of this happened with the very first open world PvP opportunity my daughter and I encountered in TOR. We ran across a player who was flagged for PvP, and he clearly wanted to fight us (in part because we were each 8 levels below him, and would have been slaughtered). He followed us around, emoting at us, killing the MOBs we needed for a quest, standing on top of a medical droid to make it hard to use. He did give up after 5 minutes or so, but it was annoying... and understandable to some extent. PvP is what this player finds entertaining, and he has to "recruit" people to engage in it. Sometimes that can mean a long wait for the next Warzone, so he's trying to drum up some interest (in a really annoying way). While he's being a jerk, I also blame TOR for giving him the incentive to be a jerk, and I definitely do not want to see that happening here.

Re: Let the Creeps run Free on all the Lands!
The difficulty is that a sizable potion of the PvP are not interested in competion. They want the one shot kill. Hence the level 50 in Combe with a level 48 Great Eagle pet that was challenging all the new arrivals to Spars on Meneldor. Having his Eagle which was 42 levels higher than the little Champion butcher the Champion.
Would you agree to a one on one in Flight Simulator? You get a WW2 ME 109E. You opponent has a F15 with a full complement of radar locking missiles. Many of the PvP player want this situation where they are flying the F15. I enjoy fighter fights in Flight games. You will find that will both have a ME 109E with the same load out. It becomes a skill, familarity with the plane battle. Not a 22 caliber pistol versus an Abrams Tank.
The problems with creeps even level limited in Breeland:
1) You are soloing on your Hunter. It is not one at level Warg. It is 6, 12 or 24 of them.
2) You are happily doing your quest. Combat is under way. From stealth at 60% morale, it is pounce and stun time. Followed by bite paw paw. Hamstring. Watch the mobs finish you off. Or perhaps a Black Arrow decides now would be the time to help the piggie by putting an arrow in you.
I do not mind concept of. Hi Warin. I am a level 12 Black Arrow and you are level 12 Captain. Wanna Fight? One on One. Le me finish of this wolf. Heal up. Then we can have a go at each other.Last edited by Yula_the_Mighty; May 20 2012 at 04:28 PM.

When you Load up lotro. you have 3 choices login Screen.
1 Normal It what we currenty have right now.
You do not see Creeps YOU NOT interact with Creeps So people who are Agenst the PVMP world wide still can play the game as they want. So you would not have to whine about creeps.
2 Monsters play. (Moors) a option to play in a region that open to monster play.
Basicly the same as now. Just a option of a region that open that day.
3 PVMP region. New option
You do not interact with players of Option 1. You can Fight creeps on the Region for that day. You do not interact with Roleplayers or any other type of playing so people with Option 1. So people on option 1 would not have to whine option 3.

Here has been my experience over the years in other games:
PvP Player: Hey, give PvP a shot, play against other players instead of NPCs. Enjoy a real challenge in a whole new world!
PvE Player: I don't know, I'm rather non-confrontational. I enjoy my little world, no thank you.
PvP Player: Hey, until you tried out MMO's you never knew you would like them, give it a go, it's a blast!
PvE Player: You got a point there, I'll give it a try, why not?
(A few hours later Bambi enters the forest for the very first time)
PvE Player: Whoa! what was that, I'm dead, I did not even finish logging in?!?!?!

PvE Player: I just got here, I'm new, your a much higher level, geeze...
PvP Ganker: Then you learned your first lesson, stay out of my way.
PvE Player: Not a problem, won't see me pvping again!
PvP Ganker: Looser.
Yeah, it's those ones that we like to pretend that are the 1% of the PvP world that turn away many would be learners of the art of PvP. Could be the greatest fun ever that anyone will have in a game, but those first experiences often add up to never returning. Then they sorta remember the experience when replying to threads suggesting PvP in the PvE realm.
Oh, and whats the first experience that many of us have in a PvE game? That's right, forgetting to turn of Spar. Yeah, I declined 15 times and took the insults while I searched the UI to find the "Turn off Spar" option.Last edited by Zarador; May 20 2012 at 08:23 PM.

Re: Let the Creeps run Free on all the Lands!
I turn the spar option off as well as adoption and invite to kin... why? Because I play this game with my little group of friends and enjoy it. My kin is not huge... but they are fun and the chat is awesome. I play to enjoy myself. I don't play to become aggravated. The instant I find myself becoming aggravated I log out to avoid "gamer rage". I don't like forced emotes, I don't like sparring and normally I don't like PvP... that's me... so...
To all that feel that I am wrong/a loser/coward/stupid etc... I pay to play the game the way I want to. I don't WANT to play the game the way you do. I have tried PvMP... I tried sparring... it doesn't interest me in any way... so why MUST I play the way you want to play, when I don't want to?
I know for a fact that there are good intentioned PvP'ers out there... I am glad and happy you enjoy yourself doing the PvP and sparring, I really am. But I am not here to be the best, I am not here to prove myself to anyone... I am here to immerse myself in Middle Earth and have fun. PvP and Sparring do nothing for me in regards to what I want out of LoTRO. Since I pay a monthly fee and I buy TP with cash... I feel I have a right to say my piece.

Get the Look: Salma Hayek at the 2011 MET Ball.
Salma Hayek attended the Met Ball in New York CIty last night and Celebrity Makeup Artist Kristofer Buckle did her beautiful makeup.
Salma was wearing the last gown Alexander McQueen made! I used peach and gold to add heat to the neutral browns in the smoke around Salma's gorgeous brown eyes.
First, I blended in COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Silk Foundation in Nutmeg to accentuate her golden complexion.
I used COVERGIRL ExactEyelights Eye-Brightening Eyeshadow in Vibrant Brown to add drama to the upper lashline using a soft brush. Then with a flat lining brush used a metallic black closer to the lash line. Then, I added two coats of COVERGIRL LashBlast Fusion Mascara in Black for extra pop! On her cheeks I used a peachy pink color, COVERGIRL & Olay Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in Plush Peach. Lastly, I used a gold eye shadow on her cheek bones to give her an ethereal glow.
To finish her look, I used COVERGIRL LipPerfection lipcolor in Sultry.

If he's unique enough, send me one!
Behold the gaseous stench of Skeletor's breakfast burrito!Robot Chicken dixit
I wasn't fussed about getting a Red Best in this line at all until I saw him in the third new mini-comic. Now I really want him and am dying to ready a bio for him, is he the leader of his race like others in that panel, maybe even on Randor's council or his he the only Red Beast allied with the Masters, it looks like he might even be leading a group of beast men. I only want him as a regular size figure though, no need for him to be oversized IMO.
"It's just a ride."
Trade my Red Stone He-Ro Staff for a Green one
HE-MAN UK Adventure Magazine # 20 and 26
I had bought an extra Gygor to make this custom but the more i think about it, i dont like the gorilla body for him (I'll just use it for the red gygor instead). I would like it either on the Grizzlor body or more if they were to make him larger a new bear style beast.
Quote the Raven, Nevermore.
It can't rain all the time.
"Live the journey, for every destination is but a doorway to another."
Oh yeah, gotta have this guy. The look is cool and we need more of this type of character in the line.
I would hope that, after getting Vikor and Demo-Man, they'd finish this trio and give us Red Beast. They really need to. Even if it is a non-sub item. I want him.
I am a little confused as to why he appeared to be a good guy in the mini-comics. Hopefully he is evil, and was just teaming up with the good guys, like Skeletor did, to defeat Hordak and King Hssss.
I personally would like to see him oversized, and with a brand new "bear buck". He looks like he should be a huge, berzerker that was used in pit fighting. The "bear-buck" could be reused for other beasts like the Ice Hacker or the Purple Beast that He-Man (Oolarr) fights to save the Goddess in the first mini-comic. If they make him standard sized, they shouldn't give him fur like Grizzlor, because that was HIS gimmick and no one else should have it but Grizzlor. Sculpt him to look just like the drawing, and I'll be fine with it.
I hope they make Red Beast, soon. Vikor and Demo-Man look pretty cool together, and I'd like to see the trio completed. Hopefully he was slotted into 2013 before all the complaining about concept figures changed the roadmap.
Honestly, after Jitsu it's the never-before-made figures that will mainly keep my interest in the line.
The Red Beast is *essential*, IMO. It is the third concept sketch character that defined the feel of early MOTU, if not the look.
Mark Taylor's 3 sketches (Vikor, Demo-Man and Red Beast), Roger Sweet's mock up Trio (Vykron), and Tony Guerrero's original prototype sculpt (Son of Vikor?) would be an amazing display for everyone's MOTUC collection, and I sincerely hope Scott can eek out these last two somehow before the line is put to bed.
My MOTU Classics Wishlist:
MOTU - Two-Bad, Modulok, Tung Lashor, Ninjor, Squeeeze and HORDE TROOPER
PoP - Glimmer, Double Trouble, Angella, Mermista, Sweet Bee, Entrapta
NA - Flogg, Crita, Staghorn, Quakke, Butthead, Hoove, Mara, Sagitar
Media - SkyHigh, Goatman, Eldor, 4H alien 'Zodaq', Veena, Dactys, Kittrina, Lizardman, Strongarm
I would support both The Red Beast and Alcala Beast Man in MOTUC. I would like them in regular figure size.
Three most wanted in MOTUC: Eldor - Scorpia - Horde Troopers
No Strobos!!! Expect low blows!!!

Not everyone is supporting the Governor's NY SAFE Act legislation. Protesters demonstrated outside City Hall during the Governor's visit.
"Go home!"
The protesters said they not only disagree with the measures in the state's new SAFE Act, they take issue with how it made its way through the government.
"The way they pushed it through the middle of the night and it's ridiculous that they're putting it at 11 o'clock in the day when everyone else is at work and can't get out of work to say anything about it," said Corey Johnson from Livonia.
John Hornberger is an avid outdoorsman, sportsman, hunter and a gun owner. He has a degree in Fisheries and Agriculture. He said he took an early lunch break to be downtown to demonstrate.
"They addressed the wrong issue here as far as preventing violence. This bill does absolutely nothing to prevent violence. It's really a victory for criminals," said Hornberger. "There's laws on top of laws, on top of laws that aren't doing anything for anybody right now. These are more additions to that."
Hornberger believes there are other issues lawmakers should be addressing, other than just guns.
"I think video games and people becoming desensitized to these mass shootings that have going on – that's the issue here."
The protesters said this was only the beginning. They plan to fight the new legislation.
"There is a class action lawsuit that's going be filed by an attorney in Buffalo on a pro bono status," said Bob Meyer of Rochester. "We'll see what the courts have to say."

June 20th Campaign Kick-Off…. I need you with me!
Dear Friends: For the past several years since you honored me with a second term, we focused on the important work of governing Collin County. Now, however, is the time to raise funds for the 2014 campaign season, and I'm pleased to announce that JR and Keresa Richardson will be opening their beautiful McKinney home for a June 20th reception and campaign kick-off. The Honorary Host Committee includes Senator Ken Paxton and Representatives Jodie Laubenberg, Jeff Leach, Scott Sanford, Van Taylor, and Scott Turner. As our nation seems to move down a perilous financial path, it is critical that Texas remains a bulwark against reckless and irresponsible fiscal policies. Working with my colleagues on the Commissioners Court, I will continue to promote long term, responsible leadership to keep our county strong. As Collin County continues to grow, our fiscal responsibility will become increasingly important to Texas as a whole. Your generous contribution will support these proven policies, and I would be honored if you would consider serving on the host committee by contributing $2,500, $1,000, $500, $250 or $125 per couple. Individual tickets to the 6:15 general reception are available for $40 per person. I hope you will join us on June 20th as we get ready for another rousing primary in 2014! Please print out the response form above under "More info" and mail your completed form and check to 1911 Lorraine Avenue, Allen, Texas 75002. Or you may donate online under "More info" above. Should you have any questions, feel free to call me at 214/454-5075 or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Or you may RSVP to Kim Watts at 214/236-1053 or email@example.com . Sincerely, Keith Self

Today The Mount Airy News carries word that more than three dozen new, well-paying jobs will be coming to the city.
This is a strong, positive development for the community, particularly at this time of economic uncertainty across the nation.
One thing which has become apparent over the past decade is that the days of large-scale industry moving into a community and opening shop are mostly gone. It still happens on occasion, but towns such as Mount Airy must build their economies on firms that utilize smaller, but just as strong, work forces.
Willow Tex LLC, a company that manufactures synthetic leather for the aviation and other markets, is such a company, and we are glad to welcome it to the community.
Kudos to the Surry Economic Development Partnership, along with the city, county and state governments, which all worked together to bring Willow Tex to Mount Airy.
Locally, the city and county approved economic incentives worth a little more than $340,000, and the state through its One North Carolina Fund contributed a $130,000 grant to the effort.
While some might have fault with the idea of economic incentives, they are a fact of life in the modern, competitive business world. And at an average wage of $56,000, Willow Tex will pump more than four times the total incentives back into the community through its payroll the first year it's fully staffed.
All around, this is a good move for Mount Airy, and certainly a nice Christmas present for the community.

Classic Country Radio also participates in a number of community service events and special projects each year. Bucks Braun, Joe Mullins and Darrin Johnston serve as Masters of Ceremonies for dozens of community service events each year. Need a special speaker for your non-profit event? Contact Classic Country Radio! We proudly sponsor the Day of Caring Pancake Brunches in Xenia and Wilmington each February. In the spring, Classic Country Radio participates in the Red Cross Heroes Campaign by hosting an on-air auction of a 30 lb. chocolate bunny donated by Friesinger's Fine Chocolates of Springboro, OH. The money generated by the bunny auction is donated to the Preble, Greene and Clinton County Chapters of the American Red Cross. Classic Country Radio holds a scholarship auction each summer. Two $500 scholarships are provided to the Greene County Career Center and a $1000 annual scholarship is facilitated by the Greene County Community Foundation. Classic Country Radio also is a proud participant of the Greene, Clinton, and Preble County Junior Fair Livestock Sales supporting dozens of hard working 4-H members in our region. One of Classic Country Radio's biggest fundraisers for 2004 was Operation Thank You. Through our own Operation Thank You, a support effort organized by Classic Country Radio and local businesses promoting the sale of a uniquely designed "Support Our Troops" T-shirt, enough funds were generated to present $6,125 worth of Kroger grocery gift cards to over 245 military families with loved ones deployed overseas for the holidays. Each day at 2:45 p.m. Joe Mullins provides church announcements. This is a free public service. Churches may e-mail, fax or mail them to our studio at 23 E. Second St, Xenia, OH 45385.
We also gladly make free public service announcements throughout the year concerning community events and service oriented activities. Click here to learn more about our PSA guidelines.
On November 17, 2005 WBZI Radio was presented with a 2005 Vision Award from the Greene County Career Center, an award established to recognize those who contribute to GCCC's vision of "Lifelong Opportunities for Success!"
