The new College couldn't be easier to get to. We're right next to West Bromwich bus station and Metro station, and clearly visible from the M5. Birmingham city centre, Dudley, Harborne and Great Barr are all only four miles away. And with nearly 30 direct bus routes to the new College, hundreds of thousands of people are only a bus ride away.
By car, leave the M5 at Junction 1 and follow the signs for West Bromwich Centre. After a mile, turn left at a t-junction with traffic lights and turn left again almost immediately; the entrance to the Campus will then be on your right. Direct bus routes to the new college: 74, 75, 75E, 79, 80, 238, 401, 402, 402A, 404, 404A, 404E, 404H, 405, 406, 410, 414, 417, 419, 428, 429, 430, 431, 439, 444, 447, 448, 448A, 448B, 449, 450, 451, 640, 644, 646, 688.

Dr. Pamela Brown says her first priority is to get out into the Buffalo community and meet as many of the stakeholders as she can, and begin developing a positive rapport with everyone.
"And that includes parents, the community at large, staff; already had the opportunity to visit a few schools. I definitely want to visit more and will do so," Brown says.
And when asked if she has any plans to make any changes to the district's central office staff, Brown simply said, "I have not made any decisions along those lines."
Brown also noted she hasn't really had time to think about it at this point. Brown says she does plan to live in the city -- and the search for a home is underway.
The Buffalo School Board voted 7-2 on June 13 to offer Brown a contract as the next superintendent of the Buffalo Schools.

My Games |
It's sad to see so few posts here these days. I guess when nothing new has come out of FFG, then there's less to discuss. So…
I am wondering if people have tried out any serious fan-developed variants? I don't mean just house rules, but serious and well-crafted variants. What have been your experience, if so?
I have been looking up alternate character cards and also recently have decided that I will eventually try out - once it becomes completely available, hopefully soon - what has been called the "Revelations" fan variant, which used a new set of "Faith" skill cards, has new Treachery variants, new Crisis and Super Crisis cards, includes a Rebel Cylon board for new human locations, additional character-like "cylon powers" for revealed cylons, and an additional (optional) "ending" variant based on the assault on the Cylon Colony in season 4 (might be too like NC but who knows). I am willing even to shell out the money to buy a whole new core set just to get the needed equipment for new card backings after printing the new cards and putting them together with the base game cards in plastic sleeves. I really want some new BSG. That being said, of course I want it to be genuinely good stuff. Thus, I'm wondering what experiences people have had.
Cheers, fellow cylons.

We havent tried any of them; we've looked over them a few times, but its really hard to judge what is going to work and what is just going to muck the game up and we're generally happy with the characters we have. I'd also be interested in hearing what people think of them after playing a few different games.
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it. -Terry Pratchett
Probably the biggest variation we've tried is playing with 8 players, including 2 cylon leaders. It seemed to work okay, we just dumped all of the cylon leader goals together and shuffled them, so it was even money whether they would be for or against the humans.
In theory, I think it could even work with 9, the problem is (and we found this even with 8) it's so long between turns for each player, and it becomes harder to plan things until your move is 1 or 2 away.
I'd be interested in any new character sheets developed, not too enthused about new cards, but anything that pokes around the edges would be fun.

Oh, AJ, that sounds annoying. :(The only things blooming here are crocuses. No daffodils or tulips yet. Oh, wait, the grass is starting to grow back some. It gets so flat.
I've got to get my herb garden going. Every weekend, lately, I've been either busy, it's been raining or I had skinned knees, which I could not expose to dirt!This weekend looks promising! Rosemary (which is a perinnual down here), thyme (my kids when little thought it was funny Mum was growing time), oregano, basil (all sorts) and sage. My sister works in a nursery and brings me all the sad, but growable, plants that no one will buy.Oh - I forgot, lavender!
I noticed tulips breaking through the ground today, but i've no idea where the crocus have gone (do squirrels eat them?)I love spring - mind you the winter clean up is a bit of work but after my lazy winter it's probably a very good thing! :DWe're getting our house and garden really sorted out this year ready to sell 2006/07.I actually saw a house for sale today, right area, perfect layout, but 1-2 years too soon! ah well, i should head off and get the children moving at least towards bedtime!take care all, have a good evening :)
Tulips, daffodils, narcissessess already bloomed here.Cannot wait until the Magnolias start to bloom. The smell is heavenly, although the tree is uber messy.
I miss the smell of the magnolias. My neighbours have a huge bush but it doesn't have the scent that they have in the south, I think it's the combination of the heat and humidity brings out the scent. We've had a weird school week this week - our teachers are on strike so Tuesday was no school, and no homework since the beginning of the month and then no school tomorrow and Monday although they're ped days. It's not as if the teachers are making unreasonable demands - in fact they're really modest. I'm so fed up with government policies in quebec.Sorry got a bit ranty there![ April 14, 2005: Message edited by: AJ ]
There's a magnolia across the street from the window of my department. Hasn't bloomed yet, but practically everything ELSE has. Daffs and tulips and violets and croci oh my.I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of honeysuckle in another month or two. :9
I have a magnolia in the front yard and it hasn't bloomed yet either. I have a few canna scattered about and they are out. There's a creeper coming over my back fence that a friend said was honeysuckle. It hasn't bloomed if it is.But there are lovely little wild flowers all over the place on the drive to work.
Honeysuckle doesn't seem to bloom, at least around here, til late spring when the evenings are warm. And it only lasts a couple of weeks - but when it does, oh, it's heavenly. The large bush crawling with honeysuckle at one street corner got torn down, but there are still a couple others in the neighborhood that I can stick my nose into.
Honeysuckle's another one that smells so good on hot summer nights. Also, jasmine.
Since we woke up to a smattering of snow this morning... I just want it to be real spring!
*waves to Flupi if she's still around**sets out some M&M's to lure her 'round*
Well, all our snow is gone again and it's warm enough that I have the windows and doors open.My son is home with a cold, my husband is in an off-shift phase and all I wanna do is write, read, game and maybe garden, though it's still too cold for that, really.
I'm supposed to be preparing for my trip tomorrow and all I've done all day is play on the computer. I'm such a bad girl. Now I really have to sign off to do laundry, go to the bank, etc. and so on and so forth.Don't have too much fun without me! ;D
*waves to Seith* Have a great weekend!!!I get to leave soon, too. I'm so tired. I may just sleep the whole way through the mountains.
Have fun you two! :)
OK, so I've still been a bad girl. All I've done since I signed off earlier is knit and read and watch TV. The laundry is washed & dried, but I haven't taken it out of the dryer yet. I still haven't been to the bank or packed. I am just such a procrastinator! I'll probably wind up packing and hitting an ATM before I leave town in the morning.
*slips in and munches a few m&m's**slips back out before anyone notices her*
I'm packed. Sent the Prodigal Son to the bank for money. Now all I have to do is shower, top of the tank, and pick up a cup on coffee for the road.Have fun while I'm gone!
Have fun Seitherin!I don't know why , but I found this joke really funny.....;)My husband and I divorced over religious differences. He thought he was God and I didn't.
*waves to seitherin and calesta*Have a wonder trip, both of ya!Ick. I've got a cold. Yucky-blah.
Sorry to hear that Jen, colds are no funI spent most of today sitting outside at my friends house with two other friends while all our boys played together - probably a good job all her neighbours work!! And I've caught the sun - time to dig out the lotion!
Had the most beautiful rain yesterday. Today it's sunny, though.Spring cleaning is continuing. :)
That's soo typical. It all starts out as an innocent bloody conversation and then it ends in Garden work!*runs*
Garden work can be fun. Sometimes. :)Sunny here again. Meh. It'll be sunny until november now, with forest fires and thunderstorms for a bit of spice. Ick.*lounges on the patio**in the shade*
*waves to Jen*Had a good time this weekend on your side of the mountains... wasn't very nice weather wise but since we were inside scrapbooking it was okay. Tough to come back to reality today.*lounges in sun**with some sunscreen on*

College Hoops: Roberts, Saint Joseph's hold off Duquesne 74-66
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ronald Roberts Jr. posted his sixth double-double of the season and Saint Joseph's held off Duquesne 74-66 Saturday night in Atlantic 10 Conference action.
Roberts had 13 points and 11 rebounds for the Hawks (9-5, 1-1), who have won four of their last five games.
Saint Joseph's led by 11 early, but the Dukes (7-9, 0-2) fought back to tie it at 51 with 9:35 left on Quevyn Winters' 3-pointer. Roberts answered with a three-point play, then Langston Galloway, who led the Hawks with 16 points, added two free throws.
After Duquesne got to 56-55, Papa Ndao and Galloway hit back-to-back 3-pointers.
The Dukes kept threatening, closing to within two points twice, the last time at 66-64 with 2:45 to go. Galloway's back-to-back jumpers and the Hawks' 4-of-8 shooting from the free-throw line sealed it.
Andre Marhold had 13 points and 11 boards for Duquesne, which has lost four straight.

Co-founded in 1982 by Peter Gabriel, each year WOMAD festival draws artists from around the world to celebrate many musical styles, moods and cultural identities in the form of music, art, dance, workshops, talks, crafts, food and more. Set in the beautiful grounds of Charlton Park, Wiltshire, the festival remains a colourful highlight on the I Like Music festival calender, serving to remind us that a wealth of beautiful, experiemntal, traditional and inspiring music can be found in all corners of the globe.
Marking somewhat of an I Like Music tradition, we caught up with festival programmer Paula Henderson for the third year running to chat about what's in store for 2011.
"I Like Music because… it just means everything to me." Paula Henderson, WOMAD Festival Programmer
ILM: We're very excited about WOMAD 2011! Firstly, we wanted to know a little more about the competition to win a spot on the Charlie Gillet stage this year, where did the idea come from?
Paula: The competition was an idea from Peter Gabriel, the founder of Real World and the festival. He was really very enthusiastic to have an open call for the festival, to give unsigned bands or any kind of group a chance to play and for them not to have to go through the official channels - sending in a demo and their MySpace and all that, but actually go through our Facebook page. Then, the public can decide! I make enough of the decisions and work with a team of people, but other people may want to hear something completely different! It's a great opportunity for the public to have their say and hear what they want to hear.
ILM: Will you be voting?
Paula: I won't be voting! Haha! But I will be looking at the Facebook page. Even if you don't win, if we see a new band that we've not seen before, I might think "well actually, they'd be great anyway, for next year perhaps...
ILM: And the prize is...
Paula: The winners get to play on the Charlie Gillet stage at the festival this year with free entry to the festival for weekend! So they'll come and play their 45 minutes and then they can enjoy the festival!
ILM: Who are you looking forward to this year?
Paula: I'm really excited about Gogol Bordello. I've been a fan of his for years, I've been trying to book him for WOMAD for about three or four years now. I can't wait to see him! Also, the group Afrocubism from Cuba and Mali. They're an amazing collaboration that includes Toumani Diabaté, I think that will be such a special show to watch. Then there's the UK talent. We've got I Am Kloot who were nominated last year for a Mercury and they're an amazing group to include within this festival which includes so many different kinds of music. I think that's what makes it exciting. You can see kind of mainstream music alongside music from Mali, Korea, India, Romania, everything you could possibly want...!
ILM: Artists come from across the globe just to play WOMAD. Who is making the longest trip this year?
Paula: Well, that for sure would be Pacific Curls who are coming from New Zealand, about as far away as possible! It's wonderful that they're coming. I had the opportunity to see them last year at the New Zealand WOMAD.
ILM: Wow! The New Zealand WOMAD must be fantastic!
Paula: It is! That's what's great about working as the programmer for the event! We do events around the world and I get the opportunity to go to our other festivals. I see some really great talents and invite them over to play in the UK and Pacific Curls are a lovely group! It's people like that that you go away remembering.
ILM: There are more festivals in the UK than ever before, what sets WOMAD apart?
Paula: We've stayed original from when we first started in 1982. We've always tried to find new music, artists, dance and art that you may not have the opportunity to see anywhere else. You can go into the big festivals and be part of that and they're great, but with WOMAD, to have music from all around the world on your doorstep for three days – it's almost an impossible task really! They're all flying in from around the world! To have them in a corner of Wiltshire for three days is just magical. They are fantastic groups and stars in their own right, in their own country. Although you may not have heard of them, they are still of the highest quality so you know you're going to have a great time. The other thing is, you can bring your family. You know your children will have a wonderful time, there's lots of things for people to do and there's also great shopping, wonderful food, you can camp for the whole weekend, it's just a really great experience!
ILM: Does the festival appeal to all ages? There's a perception that world music is for a slightly older audience...
Paula: I think it can appeal to all ages. We have our wonderful big red tent which focuses a little more on the club side of things. Now younger audiences have access to a much wider range of music than I did even a few years back, hopefully their tastes have broadened. WOMAD is all about people being willing to have a listen and give things a go. At the end of the day, come, have a good time and then come on back! We will carry on bringing you great quality music from around the world.

The price of regular gasoline has jumped 16 cents a gallon nationwide since July 1, but some experts believe the cost may level off next month because of weak demand.

"Motorists may see some stability at the pump as we enter August,'' Jessica Brady, spokeswoman for AAA, the Auto Club Group, said in AAA's weekly price roundup.
"Although gas prices will likely inch up this week, we shouldn't see prices spike like they did during the first half of the month," said Brady.
The national average price of regular unleaded gasoline is $3.49, a 2 cent increase from last week.
Oil prices have hovered around $90 a barrel for the past three weeks and caused the national average to jump 16 cents since July 1.
Last week, U.S. stockpiles of crude oil unexpectedly climbed by 3 million barrels to the highest level in 13 years, a sign of weak demand, according to AAA.
Despite the lackluster demand numbers and eased tensions with Iran, speculators continue to keep upward pressure on oil prices in hopes European leaders will take measures to stimulate demand.
A barrel of oil settled Friday at $90.13 on the New York Mercantile Exchange—$1.31 less than the previous week.

from London, KY
I have purchased this item for most people in our office and we have loved them. They need to be replaced about every 2 years which is a good life for something you use every day, BUT they have changed them. I just purchased one and they are half the size and very hard now. They use to be so comfortable and very attractive on your desk, but now you may as well use a brick. I was about to need 6 more of these, but will not purchase this one again. Very dissapointed that they have changed them and would have paid the extra it took to make something that was comfortable and worth using. I hate that they have changed this product.

ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY, N.Y. -- New legislation waiting for Governor Cuomo's signature would make it easier for volunteers to participate in search and rescue operations. Anyone interested in assisting emergency personnel during searches could take a training and safety course through the DEC. Then, should a situation arise, anyone who completed that course would be certified to help out.
The hope is that volunteers would be less prone to injury, and the legislation would protect local communities from lawsuits of any kind.
The bill, sponsored by Senator Patty Ritchie, passed both the Senate and Assembly, and is now waiting for the governor's signature.

text: The Show Catwalk Back stage Fashion Shows Autumn/Winter 2007-8 Ready-To-Wear Giorgio Armani 19 February 2007 "HE must be in love again," concluded one impressed onlooker as Giorgio Armani unveiled the sexiest, most beautiful and most interesting collection in a long time this afternoon. Every girl wore a sequinned skull cap and most carried sweet Thirties-style jewelled handbags that matched their pretty satin flats with metallic heels - all money-spinning details in a collection in which the clothes were a much bigger deal. Armani has launched into a love affair with tulip skirts - you might think it's a season or two late but for him it looks like new life breathed into the talent for detailing that makes his work all the more desirable. Nude slip dresses, some with puddle folds in front, were held on with multiple black laces and others had bare strips of back under a cleavage-enhancing upper band smothered in glitter. The velvet puffballs, crocodile cropped jackets, mohair knits, patent belts, silks and ruched jerseys made for a collection so tactile you couldn't help but want to get closer to it. It was so much younger and sexier than we're used to - the little cocktail dresses in black, blush, grey or gold were the kalibre of a look a Best Dressed contender might pick up at Burberry. The last dress - a column encrusted with huge crystals from neck to hem that must have weighed considerably more than the model wearing it - was like a firework to celebrate this new, sexy, you-gotta-have-it Armani.

"I just don't feel like ___________ (fill in the blank)"
- Recruiting people for my team
- Working out
- Reading the book that everyone talks about
- Eating healthier
- Reading with my children
- Dating
- Writing my goals down
If you've ever felt this way, guess what?
You're human.
So how do we actually get to a point where we "feel" like doing the things that actually BRING US RESULTS and change our situation, circumstances and results?
How do we go about changing our lives to bring about REAL RESULTS?
I call it "FORCE THE PROCESS."
Every result (fruit, outcome, end in mind) comes from a formula, a recipe, a process. Therefore if you force that process, you get the result from the process.
You want more spirituality in your life? You want greater connection to God?
Force the Process.
You can't force spirituality but you can force the activities that bring the spirituality.
Force yourself to get on your knees and pray.
Force yourself to read the Holy Word daily.
Force yourself to sit in church and focus…and put your dang phone away. If God wanted revelation to come through phones He wouldn't have us go to church.
What would your spirituality and purpose look like if you did all the activities that brought greater spirituality, purpose, fulfillment and meaning?
Yep, you got it. You'd have greater purpose, meaning and connection to God Almighty. Your life would be powerful.
You want more recruits and a bigger team in your business?
Force the Process.
Force the activities. You can't force guys to join your team but you can force yourself to call 10-20 people a week and meet with them.
Force yourself to meet with 8-10 people a week.
Force yourself to learn how to recruit and to ask more powerful questions to recruits.
And what would your team look like if you forced the activities and process in building your team?
Yep, you got it. You'd grow and have a massive team.
Just by doing the activities (meeting, talking, recruiting, asking questions) you'll recruit people. It just is and it really is what it is.
You want greater knowledge and mental toughness?
You want a stronger marriage and family?
You want tighter abdominal muscles and less fat on your body?
You want anything in life that you don't currently have?
Force the Process!
Everything you want in life comes as a result of a process. No matter how long or short the process, the results ALWAYS come.
Figure out what you want, find the process that brings those results into your life and force that process.
Continue Reading
One of the best disciplines I've committed to is writing down my goals daily. It's life changing. 'Love your life, where it's headed, and why you have it.'

"Do not set yourself up as a hostage to your circumstances or
your inventory of possessions. Choose to live richly and fully no matter what."

I was walking on the beach one day, looking at my footprints in the sand. Then a gush of ocean water washed away my marks. The same thing happened when my daughter built a sand castle along with a sandy fleet of cars and trucks; it was a beautiful site until the waves eroded the sand dwelling she had worked so hard to build. I helped her dig a hole in the hope that we could catch the water in our handmade ditch to protect our beachfront property. However, after a few hours, ocean water was simply more prominent; its power dominated every sand structure we created.
For some reason, that experience at the beach got me thinking of what thing predominates in society. I suppose observing nature can do that at times—can cause one to drown in one's own frivolous thoughts of life.
Imagine that there exists a social structure in society predominating over the impact of people's individual efforts, much like ocean water on a beach. Are people at the mercy of the incoming tide? Can they control it, or does it control them?

Getting ready for Christmas was a topic for discussion at a meeting of the Evarts Tourist and Convention Commission on Monday. Plans were made for this year's Christmas Parade and decorations to be placed around the city.
After several suggestions were made, the commission decided "A Christmas Dream" will be the theme for this year's Christmas Parade, which will be held on Sunday, Dec. 2. Lineup for the parade will begin at 1 p.m.
"We recently purchased over $1,000 worth of decorations for the city from local resident Evelyn Philpot," said acting commission secretary Kristi Lamb. "She only charged us $290 for 20 large wreaths, two wooden candy canes, one large box of over 100 bows, one large box of new garland with 25 to 30 sets, one wooden nativity scene, three large wooden angels, three wooden reindeer, one wooden sleigh and Santa Claus and two pop-up snowmen. Everything was in excellent condition. Evelyn used these decorations, which she had purchased herself, to decorate the Clover Fork Museum in the past. She said she is downsizing this year and decided to get rid of some of the things she had used. This will be a great addition to the city and our visitors."
A suggestion was made to place the city's lighted Christmas Tree, which is presently atop city hall, on top of the shower house at the south Evarts RV Park. Johnson said more decorations can also be placed there because the top of the building is flat and can be fenced off to keep people from stealing items.
"We can also put picnic tables and grills up there during the summer months for local residents or visitors to use," said Johnson.
In other action, the commission:
- Noted 12 "ATV helmets required signs" were purchased and placed in the city at a cost of $552. Also, it was noted eight "ATV speed limit signs" were purchased and installed at a cost of $368;
- Noted all restaurants and hotels are in compliance in the commission's request to verify sales tax;
- Approved getting estimates on the purchase of a one-sided digital sign to be used for adventure tourism announcements and upcoming events;
- Noted more advertising needed to be done for the city on what is being offered in the area;
- Suggested letting high school students from Harlan County High School redesign the tourism website.

Also I hope ZC or some dev sees this and finds some way to adjust it. I was noticing the huge plummet in XP gained per monster on those skirmishes where NPC's abound.

Re: Nerf to solo leveling
You either are misinformed or just feel like lying.
I have been grinding on my lvl 54 hunter to get enough points to get that ratted rune of winged dominance and it was before the update almost 3000 skirmish points IRC... somewhere about 2,900..
Well after the update not only did my measily 900 I had accrued from before the update translate into 900 of the new skirmish marks, the Rune of winged dominance price was now only 1045..... I was able to buy it after running two more skirmishs. Meaning I made about 70 marks in each one.

Re: Nerf to solo leveling
Can't say anything about XP, since I haven't run skirmishes on my sub-L75 chars lately, but most definitely I get a 50% reduction in iXP from every mob tagged by a friendly skirmish NPC. Considering that the total amount of XP and iXP was upped to match the pre-U5 values, this translates into grand total 50% loss of iXP from skirmishes with friendly NPCs.
Also, someone here (or in another thread) mentioned relics drops... The IF put me in Gondamon last night, and one of the encounter bosses dropped a T1 (yes, T1) fused relic. At L75. Nothing from two skirmishes today (Prancing Pony and Rift). This doesn't look like a good compensation to me, so far.Last edited by Arachnella; Dec 13 2011 at 01:49 PM.

Re: Nerf to solo leveling
Seems like with more input from players we are finding that the main reason for the exp drop comes from the NPCs that siphon experience away from you, that is something the devs need to fix right away, NPCs should not steal experience from you. If so then we the players are going to run only those skirmishes where there are no NPCs involved, again defeating the purpose of skirmishes.

Re: Nerf to solo leveling
For Relics - they are dropping from both LTs & the final chest (I haven't seen one yet on an encounter). I've seen T3 relics from LTs and T1-3 drop from the final chest/boss. I'd guess that if you run a T3 skirmish the drop rate on these would be higher (placing the extra special mark drops).

Re: Nerf to solo leveling
That is, if by 'we the players' you mean 'we the players that want to use skirmishes to level'. But in that case, most such people would likely opt to run the one or two skirms they feel give the most XP anyway, in the interest of maximizing their efficiency.
On the other hand, most skirmishes where you have NPC support are defense skirmishes. And in that case, most of the monsters spawn a distance away and run toward you. Thus, one alternative would be to intercept them before they aggro the NPC. And in that case, the extra XP would basically be rewarding you for fighting without NPC support.
On a side note, I am a bit disappointed that skirmishes have turned into such lucrative XP mines that people forgo quest content. Each to their own, of course - they're certainly free to play however they see fit. But I remember when skirmishes were first coming out, how they were initially explained as being more of a sidebar to the main system of landscape questing - something like a minigame you could enjoy while waiting on a raid to form, or just to take a break from running around doing everyone's chores. As I recall, it was stated emphatically that they were not meant to replace the primary game experience, so their rewards weren't as good as what you could get by questing or even crafting. But over time, as the game changed and evolved, I guess that angle did as well.

Re: Nerf to solo leveling
Hey guess what people did before skirms they quested to level, level all the way to 50 etc....now not trolling but just stating a fact there is so much to do and its so easy to level anymore i could be 75 on any class within 2 weeks np.
Yeah it sucks but move on and find some other way to levelThere are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
Dec 13 2011 02:29 PM #48
Re: Nerf to solo leveling
No, is not that the skirmish is the main thing, it is not, I did the dailies and moved into quest immediately, now I have to waste more time in skirmishes than before, so now I am doing less quest and more skirmishes, we the players dont want that, you may have few players who really want the reach top level quick, but it is not the majority. The majority uses the skirmishes just to obtain marks and some drops so we can improve our soldier/protector/etc.
Dec 13 2011 02:36 PM #49
Re: Nerf to solo leveling
That is also just one facter that can affect the ixp/xp in the skirmish. Among on the issues that will affect whether xp is +/- for you:
- Defenders "taging" mobs
- VIP rested xp
- DP Perk / Store Tome
- Pre-order +25% stone
- # of mobs in the skirmish (comparing a Rescue in NG to a Trouble in Tuckborough. The number of mobs makes a big difference)
I'd definitely admit that a F2P player L25 solo with no rested xp in "Stand at Amon Sul" will see less xp than before and much less xp than a VIP player with rested xp, destiny perk, Pre-order stone running a Trouble in Tuckborough while keeping defenders from every mob.
I agree as well.
Especially with the large jump in the daily xp bonus with RoI and the level cap increase, skirmishes in 20s->low 30s were just so insanely lucrative in leveling that made them hard to compete with questing, in terms of time invested.

Re: Nerf to solo leveling
That's what I would call "DDOization of LOTRO". Since the first introduction of skirmishes into the game it was getting more and more clear that the developer's focus is strongly on them, to the detriment of the landscape quests. I find it very ironical (and disappointing) that over the last 2-3 years LOTRO has been progressively moving towards deeper compartmentalization and instancing of the world, while initially a heavily instanced GW is moving towards the open world GW2. But this is a topic for a different discussion.

People are so riled up about skirmish "nerfs". I've read all 4 pages, and the majority of them dissatisfied with the changes. IMO there are valid points on both sides.

Re: Nerf to solo leveling
I know I'm in the minority here, but I'm actually really excited to read about skirmishes giving less XP... I'm one of the people who's waiting for the XP disabler to become available, and I've done very few skirmishes up till now because I'm already out-leveling things left and right.

Re: Nerf to solo leveling
Upon looking into it, Rank costs are indeed too high. Skirmish Rank traits use different formulas then other item purchases in the Skirmish barter, and the relative adjustments we made when changing from SM to Marks was not fully applied to Ranks. I was tipped off by the laser focus on Soldier ranks being punitive, while no one seemed to be talking about any of the item rewards being nerfed

Re: Nerf to solo leveling
You know I'm highly critical of Turbine, ZC, but I'm not a cruel person. I also used to love this game. Please don't take this the wrong way, but from this post and everything else you've posted about the IF, all I can ask is - have you ever actually played LoTRO yourself? With regular character doing the regular levelling route, and not with an indestructible avatar, I mean.
Because you seem very out-of-touch with what's actually happening in the game, as opposed to in your theories. Again - not a personal attack, but you don't sound like you know how the game works for us average joes. And that's created a huge mess - and a lot of ill-will.

Re: Nerf to solo leveling
People in beta were very vocal about any number of bad things - like removal of accuracy passives, and hey - completely broken wardens.
There was no open-ended survey at the end of this beta. Turbine chose to do what it did. Don't blame the testers, please, they *tried*. But how the game is developed is ultimately in Turbine's hands, and they've chosen to ignore customer feedback.
Dec 14 2011 09:05 AM #62
Re: Nerf to solo leveling
Do any of you realize how much this game has changed since closed Beta? Skirms were never intended to be used to level but more for all the other goodies end of story.

Re: Nerf to solo leveling
Not that I read the whole thread, but I have a slightly different perspective...
Been running the skirms for marks and decided to get a few pieces of Helegrod (65). Been at 66 for a bit and I am glad the xp is low since by the time I get the marks I need, I would have out leveled the armor!

Re: Nerf to solo leveling
Tipped off? People have only been saying that for what, 2-3 years? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you guys are finally looking at soldier ranks costs, but the fact that this thing needs to be 'tipped off' is a bit telling. I echo what another poster asked above. Have you actually tried to assign yourself the average marks that a typical level 75 character has, then deduct from that amount the average spending used by a 75 on things like scrolls and such, and use the remaining marks to level a soldier or two to see how far you can get and whether said soldiers are useable in a 75 skirmish? If not yourself, has anyone? Has anyone at Turbine before you ever asked themselves "Is it fair to charge 350+ marks for a 4 point increase in armor or 6 points of Offense?"

Re: Nerf to solo leveling
I dont think she meant solo leveleing but rather the pre-U5 skirmish system, that right now is ver much nerfed, not to confusse with the IF.
Dec 16 2011 04:45 PM #67
Re: Nerf to solo leveling
Up until free to play, this may have been true (I don't want to guess on dev's intentions, because f2p was being planned long before it was announced).
After that game changer, skirmishes were most definitely integrated into the levelling process, and it was the devs who tied so many essential end-game things into skirmishes, not the players.
Dec 16 2011 09:00 PM #68
Re: Nerf to solo leveling
My low level toon is leveling solely via Skirmishes, and doing so far faster then I ever could have done before U5. My level 75 toon is pulling in effective purchasing marks faster then I ever could before. And my level 49 toon who just hit 51 doing mostly Skirmishes is also doing better then before. Part of that is because I'm not silly enough to think you have to have an on-level soldier to be effective in Skirmishes. Part of it is because I know when Finder is effective, and when Join is a better method -- which doesn't take rocket science to figure out, though it seems to have eluded a number of forum posters.

Yes, please answer this question. All my uncapped toons that are elegible to do skirmishes are sitting idle until this issue is fixed.

Re: Nerf to solo leveling
I always thought the EXP given during the Skirmishes for lower levels was just too high, and thus avoided them because it made doing deeds I had missed boring. I prefer thinking that I am earning something than doing one skirmish a level. The leveling for lower levels was just too quick to over all the deeds per area. I never complained about it though, because I enjoy questing myself, but I agree its a sad situation when something enjoyed is suddenly revoked because the company didn't realize it served as a distraction to using the actual product, quests. What really saddened me was they also made the rewards less, because I was using skirmishes for a bit of gold here and there.
I really wish Turbine would focus on improving their current products rather then revoke the ones that make us happy in order for us to sell more quest packs; I really think this was a bit of a scheme to get our money. Note, I still say they (Turbine) are not as bad as other games which are 'pay out of your (explicit) if you'd like to win the game.' But I do think they are scheming here and there to pay their overhead and CEO salaries.

Two requests we've heard about the new member categories feature are to a) add the ability to tie categories into Profile Questions so members can automatically be placed into categories upon sign-up, and b) tie this into Paid Access. We're happy to report that we've completed the work for both of these. If you've thought member categories might be a nice-to-have feature, these changes may turn it into a must-have feature.
Automatically add new members to categories
Most Network Creators ask their members a few profile questions when they sign up. Now, you can use a multiple-choice question to automatically slot members into a custom-made member category:
A few things to keep in mind
Member Categories + Paid Access
The other big request we've heard from Network Creators is to tie the new member categories into the Paid Access optional add-on. We knew that would be a big request, and we're happy to report that this second round of improvements now supports Paid Access. We've added two different ways to encourage your members to sign up for special membership designations and badges.
Fixed-price paywall integration
Use Member Categories in conjunction with a fixed-price paywall to assign paying members who pay to a custom-made category. For example: You want members who pay to subscribe for access to a special VIP Group to be identified with a special VIP badge. You can simply assign those paying members to a custom-made category.
Donation paywall integration
Use Member Categories in conjuntion with a donation paywall to encourage members to give more to achieve a higher level of prestige. You do this by setting a threshold for payment that puts one (higher-paying) class of membership on a pedestal. For example: Gold members = $20/year donation; everyone who contributes below that amount = Silver member; all non-paying members = a non-paying category (you can simply use the "default member" designation for non-paying members if you choose).
We hope you will find a lot of new uses for Member Categories using these two new ways to extend the feature. Let us know how you plan to use it!
Tags: new product
Sorry about that. I have fixed this link. Thanks for pointing this out for us.
Do we have the ability to use a currency other than US dollar yet. The Euro for example?
No changes to currency options so far, James.
This is great! I do have a question...if we use the member profile to assign categories and have paid access groups for each category, what happens to a member who selects category A during sign-up, then joins the category B group? If I am reading the info right, the member would move from category A to category B...which is exactly what we want to have happen. However, I want to be sure. Thanks!!
Hi Anthony,
That should work, yes, but we don't recommend combining profile question auto-assignment with paid access auto-assignment because the combination can produce unexpected results.
I understand the recommendation and actually agree with it. However, we want to give our members the option of changing categories. Here's why...
We are preparing to re-launch our network, CLAY Connect (www.clayconnect.com) as a "network of networks". We renamed "groups" as "networks" and have 49 "networks" already established for our existing partner churches, plus 59 for our parachurch and community partners, plus 17 for our international partners. Each organization brings its own members (just as a group would), but all "networks" (groups) and the individuals they bring are all tied to CLAY somehow.
That's where the member categories come in. When people sign up, we want to know if they are a coach (CLAY is a sports ministry program), official, parent, volunteer, youth, ministry professional or business professional. We also established "networks" (groups) for those seven categories. So if I sign up as a parent, I might later want to join the (paid access) "network" (group) for business professionals. So I could be a member of a church "network" (group) and because I help out with my kids basketball team, I want to be a part of the coaches "network" (group)...but when I signed up, I indicated I was a parent.
Can you clarify "unexpected results"? They might be OK with our scenario.
Hi Anthony,
If you have both profile question and paid access integration running, then you can't be completely sure that a member will end up in the desired category. One scenario is that Member A joins the network, and because of their profile question response is put in Category X, then they join a paid access group and are put into Category Y. At some point they change their profile question. Now they are in Category Z instead of X, and their paid access subscription lapses, so they are moved into a different category automatically based on the rules you created. There's no hierarchy for categories, and members may be moved automatically based on changing a profile question or having their paid access status updated/validated.
This really isn't something that works for our association. We already have a dues structure, including billing etc. in place. I need a way to add a ribbon with text to each members profile photo.
I looked at it when it first came out, hoping it would fit the need.

ALBANY COUNTY, N.Y. -- One sure sign that Christmas is on its way is the annual cutting down of the state Christmas tree.
Workers attempted to cut down the tree Tuesday morning, but there were some issues when the truck brought to haul it away broke.
The Blue Spruce is more than 30 feet tall and was donated by Lise Poolet of Latham. Poolet says she and her husband picked the tree out together while visiting a local nursery. She says the branches were very sparse at the time.
"It has been with me for 27 years. It started out when it was only a foot tall and a little out of shape compared to the other ones. It turned out to be the most beautiful tree going," Poolet said.
There is no word on when the truck will be fixed.

Bayview market organizes
January 25, 2013 · Updated 4:24 PM
Vendor applications for the 2013 Bayview Farmers Market are now available online at www.bayviewfarmersmarket.com.
The opening bell for the island's biggest farmers market will ring at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 27. Markets run every Saturday through the end of October.
Market Manager Sharon Warwick says new vendors are welcomed in all categories with a special welcome to farmers and persons interested in selling hot foods. Last year the markets featured a weekly average of 60 vendors selling produce, plant starts, baked goods, hot foods, and artisan crafts.
Market officers will be meeting in early February to develop an agenda and budget for the group's annual meeting at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 26 at the Wellington Day School, recently re-located at the old House of Prayer, 5719 Pioneer Place, between Bayview Road and Maxwelton Road.

After four months of paperwork, hype and speculation, the last piece of the Facebook IPO is in place: Facebook said it has priced its IPO at $38 a share.
At that price, Facebook's IPO will raise $16 billion, making it the largest tech IPO in history. It's the third largest U.S. IPO ever, trailing only the $19.7 billion raised by Visa in March 2008 and the $18.1 billion raised by automaker General Motors in November 2010, according to rankings by Thomson Reuters.
There are still a few more steps before Facebook's shares are ready to trade. The company is waiting for the Securities and Exchange Commission to declare its IPO effective -- the formal green light Facebook and its underwriters need before they can sell shares to outside buyers.
The $38 IPO price is the rate at which Facebook's underwriters (including lead banker Morgan Stanley) will sell shares to their clients, which typically include large institutional investors, mutual funds and hedge funds.
Shares will be released Thursday night to those buyers, who can resell them on the open market beginning on Friday.
Some shares were made available to individual investors, but getting them typically requires either a lot of money or a lot of trading experience. It also required moving fast. Many brokerages offering pieces of Facebook's IPO allotment "closed their books" on Tuesday, meaning they stopped taking orders.
When can I buy? Ordinary investors looking to get a piece of Facebook will have to wait until Friday morning.
Unlike Google, whose IPO used a "Dutch auction" to allow direct bidding by investors, Facebook's setup doesn't give regular folks access until shares begin trading publicly on the tech-heavy Nasdaq exchange.
While the market opens at 9:30 am ET on Friday, Facebook's shares won't start trading instantly. It typically takes time -- sometimes an hour or more -- for newly listed shares to begin actively trading on the day of their public debut.
How much Facebook is worth:Facebook's market capitalization will hover around $81 billion on the day of its IPO.
