Title: Age of Conan: Unchained
Status: Released Graphics: 3D
Genre: MMORPG
Developer: Funcom
Publisher: Funcom
Explosive Features:
- Mature gaming experience
- Age of Conan's combat system
Age of Conan: Unchained (Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures) is a free to play 3D fantasy massively-multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG) based on the world and works of acclaimed author Robert E. Howard. In Age of Conan, players enter Hyboria with thousands of their friends and enemies to live, fight, and explore the dark and brutal world of King Conan. Originally released as a retail game, Age of Conan: Unchained was relaunched as a free to play title allowing anyone to freely roam the vast lands of Hyboria either as free players or premium subscribers with access to extra content.
Age of Conan has always been a Mature gaming experience, but going Unrated gives the development team freedom to stay even more true to the original works of Conan author Robert E. Howard, and use even more of the barbaric, brutal and sexy setting that is Howard's Hyboria. At the time, it was also considered to be the first AAA MMORPG to carry an "M" rating from the ESRB.
Age of Conan: Unchained allows an unprecedented level of control over your character. Define your character's look and feel from their looks. Age of Conan's 12 classes include an array of interesting classes, from new ideas like the Bear Shaman and Herald of Xotli to new twists on old favorites like the Assassin and Ranger. The classes are set up across four archetypes: Priests, Mages, Rogues, and Soldiers. But only the four classes (Barbarian, Demonologist, Guardian and Priest of Mitra) are available for all free players.
Age of Conan's combat system lets you take an active role in combat. Rather than pressing an auto-attack button, you actually control every chop, thrust, and swing of your weapon. The combat system also allows you to control your defense rather than relying on statistics alone, adjusting your defenses as your enemies attack, lending an element of skill to every encounter. Age of Conan also features a robust system for mounted combat, allowing you to charge to victory on powerful horses, deadly war rhinos, and even the mighty mammoth!
Free players can only make two characters by default, while Premium players get eight character slots. Returning customers get to keep the number of character slots they already had. Funcom is also introducing an in-game store to the game where both free players and premium subscribers can purchase exclusive content such as weaponry and mounts. Some of the instanced dungeon content will be completely free, and other will be accessed through new passes or expansion purchases. Free players may access the beginnings of raids and the raid equipment ladder, but they can't complete tier 1 without switching to Premium access or purchasing entry to more raids. Also Free players may only ride the horses which require the Basic Riding skill by default.

Age of Conan is an excellent, ADULT mmorpg, with artistic level environments and landscapes, great detailed REALISM especially in the advanced combat system. Is not a game for kids or hypocrites. Robert Howard would be proud of the artwork and realism Funcom put in this game. If you don't like to see blood gushes or beheadings, put down your blade.
In the Conan film written by John Milius and Oliver Stone, Conan behead Thulsa Doom, and this is the core of R. Howard philosophy: the sword that wins against the sorcery.
Another P2W MMORPG. It is NOT a "Free to Play" game, it is "Free to Shoot a Glance" or "Free Demo" or "Free Start" game.
Right. Next time you let someone review this let him read up on the history of the names…. Geez. Robert E Howard….
This game is only worth it if you buy the full game and expansion. You're going to want to raid, have all the extra zones and be able to advance your characters stats and talents all the way. F2P is only worth playing if you just want to test the game, but it wont give the game justice. The game shows its true value once you've reached max level and you explore the expansion. You have an extra talent tree you only unlock through maxing levels, and you'll need the expansion and game time to progress it. You can unlock every ability on it permanently over time and via this you can progress to the very end raids and become viable for pvp. It's a long grind, but if you enjoy playing the same mmo religiously for a year or so this is a game worth it. It has a lot of personality and very 'cool' style of combat. It's not too oldschool, and its not too newschool, a complete one of its kind.
this is the best game i played, this game has a best game combat mode, and the best massive PVP games modes!!!
The best MMORPG ever!
Great game,still have some outstanding graphic ,nice lookin characters,deep mechanics,but…its pure P2W sadly ,sure u can play for free but is like newerending trial…u cant do much as f2p most endgame content is locked to u as f2p,u never get good gear u cant have more than 10g(gold)
u only allowed to ride slowest avaiable horse u cant enter most of the dungeons and get better gears if u goin to try this game go aead ,but if u plan to stay longer u will must pay$.
Seems like this game is dead,player numbers wise. Played for a little while (few weeks) and servers always felt like ghost towns.
best trial ever 10/10
cheat & exploit infested game, no anticheat program, PVP is annoying as hell… people rage on channel all the time (no wonder)
overall game could be awsome if they fix exlploits, bugs put some anticheat and delete some OP classes .. but none cares, few time servers merged and population is still low..
I think this game is pretty good so far. I like how raw tje graphics are and how the full nudity is in effect. The kids complaining about adult themes shouldnt be playing this game to start with. Ftp is limited but if you think about it the developers WILL want you to buy the subscription. Hell I would or whats the point in making them in the first place if you give all your hard work away for free. Theres plenty of free mmorpgs out there that are terrible quality if you want a ftp game with no room for improvement. Stop bitching and being tight or just stop playing.
Im a f2p player and this game is not f2p. Oh i know they need to keep the game running, they need money, but duuuude a game with that name could earn far far more money if they could make a system like PWE did on Neverwinter. F2p in this game is total bs, even after those "BIG" changes in 2013. They should make that f2p can get any item in game but just by playing ALOT, and in game currency should be able to be exchanged for that real money points (forgot the name). Ive seen this system in Neverwinter and ppl are spending huge amounts of cash just to skip that big grind, or to sell item shop items on auction house for in game currency. In my opinion Age od conan have even greater name than Neverwinter cuz only gaming ppl are introduced to DD franchise, but everyone knows who conan is 🙂 But at the end its just my opinion. they could do this or just shut down the game cuz servers have merged and playerbase is still low, and i think the game is gona die soner or later. That makes me sad cuz i love Conan story and i love this game, its mu fav even tho its old.
apart from the graphics i found this game really overrated. i've played some good mmorpg-s in my life but this one didn't entertain me for a second.. since it also needs like 30 gb hdd, i've deleted it just now. i didn't even run the game in the last couple of months. well, maybe it's just my taste.
Great game but its far from a real f2p, u cant really do anything whn u reach cap if ur f2p and ur character is very inferior comparing it to subscribers which means ur useless in pvp and in dungeons. Theres very low gold cap for f2p and very little bank space. I really love the game but i hate these big handicaps that funcom made for f2p players. Hoping for a big changes in tht direction.
Really careful with payments is not sure you claim what you pay for I had twice a problem with payments
I provide the proof of payments and refuse to investigate when I start to be offensive and my lawyer contact them the problem resolved and they find the payment
It's funny reading comments about the nudity and violence in this game!! LOL OBVIOUSLY you've/we've all heard of Conan the Barbarian…Movies, Comics, etc… AND WE ALL KNOW that there's plenty of blood, tits and action in these stories… So my question is: how do these same people who are OBVIOUSLY familiar with the franchise, act like they've been living under a rock the entire time? Stop blaming ignorance when there is no ignorance! You knew EXACTLY what you were getting into… And after playing MMORPG's for quite some time, I'm glad that a company FINALLY focused on the group that are paying the bills (ie: item malls, monthly fees (if any), retail copies (again, if needed)): the adults!!! Keep up the good work and set the standard for the rest of these MMORPG wannabes…
how do i cheat in this gsame age of conan what do i do to cheat
can any1 explain how to cheat in age of conan ive been trying 4 2 years now what do i need
I wanted to give this one a shot, so I downloaded and had it all installed. Went to launch it and it errored "Failed to start rendering subsystem". I've tried everything I could and all people keep saying is that my video card isn't good enough since you need shader 2.0 support. Umm..my card supports up to shader 5.0 according to my card's manufacturer website. I also play games like DCUO and SWTOR which use shader 2.0+ fine so this game is frelling borked.
What a disappointment.
no you dont.
WTF!! It's 30 GB Size or this is mistake?
That is a mistake, it should be around 15-20, 30 means something wrong happened.
it is 30+GB reason HD
can you work to in game to earn points that allows you to buy contents like in the lord of the rings i heard youcan do this in AoC am i right ?
Not that I know of.I barely started though on the Set server and they are planning a server merge with the EU servers sometime this year.
this game kill swtor crap game, with shit story and shit gameplay
good game.
all of this means that through lvls 1-79 u have almost all access and can do 99%of the things a prem person can
THIS GAME IS NOT FREE TO PLAY! Its a FAKE FREE TO PLAY GAME, dont waste your time, charactersm, locations, almost everything there is locked, game force players to pay for everything there, also its super boring! Dont support faking GREEDY LIARS!
id rather u just not say anything then say something u dont know a rats ass about. Yes aoc was terrible in the last couple of years but after their update in 2013 it has improved the game drastically. You can now access 98% of the dungeans between the lvl mark of 1-79, however when you do reach lvl 80 u need to buy expansions packs, BUT that doesnt mean u cant do anything at lvl 80. YOU can do T1 raiding, some Epic Dungs like AoK that was originally made a lvl 63 zone but now the funcom team also added a lvl 80 epic zone that have epic weps and armour. you can also do all pvp now except for sieges. This is a great update for f2p players as they can do more stuff when they reach lvl 80 and if u wanna roll another char u can also now choose any class and you can carry 10 gold then the 2 before.
Good reply Herald of Xotli. SuperKooo is clueless and just wanted to throw a fit like a 2 year old.
What boggles my mind is that someone might spend the amazing amount of time it takes to get all the way to level 80 and then bitch about buying an expansion pack. Not that superkoo actually did even that much work before complaining…
I used to play this game p2p , brilliant skill based pvp ( im a pvper)
now that its free i can log in … pvp without any restrictions .
for pvpers this game f2p is epic
The game has much more content unlocked for F2P and ALL classes are F2P accessible now. If you intend on playing this game, do disregard the previous posts whining about how things are sealed off. A large portion of the stuff is now F2P accessible. Hell just check their site.
I just started playing this game a couple of days ago and so far I'm pretty impressed. I was ready to give up on mmos all together and decided to give this one a shot. The atmosphere and graphics are very nice. One of the things I hated about WoW and EQ2 were the childish, cartoon looking models for most of the environments and characters. I also like how brutal the game is, it makes you feel that the swords are made of steel and do actual damage to your target and not Nerf weapons that puts them to sleep after so many hitpoints are reached.
It also has adult themes that i think are more fitting for the Fantasy genre. Instead of a family friendly theme park, the cities are full of murderous thugs' drunkards and prostitutes. The language is equally colorful and helps draw you into the dark Conan universe.
The combat system forces you to engage at all times, you have to stay on your target and maneuver like you would in a real sword fight as opposed to auto aiming, clicking a few macros and forgetting about it. I know it has auto aim but this is turned off by default. After intensely hacking away at your cunning and murderous foes, you are occasionally rewarded with a fatality finishing move. These are very brutal for the melee classes and reminds you that your character is chopping up people not touching up their make-up.
I haven't played through the higher levels or end-game yet but I'm looking forward to seeing what lies ahead. Also Fun-Com opened all the classes as well as allowing a lot of other extras that were once only available to paying customers. For a free game, this one has a lot to offer. I highly recommend playing it.
I like the game, but i don't like the graphics.
The graphics in this game are amazing. The game is just awesome, indeed. I wonder if it isn't your graphics card. The graphics are state of the art….it is ART!
Can you guys please remove Age of Conan, SWToR and other free to try games from F2P section? For AoC how is this different from WoW? You can play the game to X level, with limited features. Hell WoW gives you even more classes to try and less limitations. Only difference is in AoC the trial is open to level 80 and in wow to level 20. SWToR model lets you try it for free to 50, than if you want to PvP or raid you need to sub to the game.
THIS is not F2P. Remove these games from F2P least, add free trial/demos category to the list of games and stop misleading the readers!
I love the site but this is just wrong to put these games into F2P category. Friggin GW2 is more F2P than any of these games, and much better as a game too.
Game is pretty much P2P. They boast that the game is F2P, but the F2P version only gives you 4 of the classes as well as a bunch of other annoying restrictions. If you want to go for a trial game, I really recommend WoW over this – they let you play every class except for Death Knight ( it requires Cataclysm or something ) 8 races of the 11 races ( the other 3 also require Cataclysm ).
GOOD GAME, but amount of players is real low.
when i go to install and download it says direct x is out of date and it says i already installed it so what do i do
I played AoC when it wasn't free, from 2005/06 till 2008. The game is awesome and is much better than WoW for sure (i played WoW too so not being biased here). The classes are great and quite balanced (2 slots per server isn't enough). This is a R21 game with lots of blood and nudity. It's not for kids. It's worth every cent i paid for this game. It's a pity university meant i had no more time for MMOs.
i hate to wait so long lol to download took me 2 days to download can go to hell
can help me find a easy way to download and can play this game in malaysia pls reply me if u know the answer ok ty
i mean like wat video play cn i install 4 dis game thats free
So i Play this game since 13.1.2010 on the Eu side. And i can tell you the game isn Crap like hell or something else… yea it has his problems but it isnt bad at all… and one that i can say… u can get lvl 80 T1 raid clothes but now weapons because you cannot go to vistrix the third T1 boss… but! it cost only 15 € (eu side) per month… but you get for the 15 € a unique combat system a large world a lot of fun in raids or something like that and the Free to play content isnt so bad… i had played it a few monthes to try the different but there isnt really one ya ok you can only have 2 gold and you cannot raid t2 or t3 but isnt it really important to had fun in a game? when you play such a long time i has i can say raiding is boring… you do the same thing every time… so buy the game 🙂 with the addon rise of the god slayer level to 80 and make your one opinion… a yea… when you rise to lvl 80 and play in khitai i say one thing don't! really don't! raid T1 or T2 the Khitai Purple things you get at hardmode instances is better than t1 or T2 … 🙂 and pvp is very annoying… hate it… but make your one Opinion 🙂 i never heard one in the game who flamed like the kiddis hear on this side… and the Gm's never send you something like that what Xotli has postet…
i cant understand a thing youre trying to say here
this game is very hard
This game is very hack
edit: "OS: Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista
RAM: 1 GB | HDD: 30GB CPU: Intel Pentium 4 3Ghz or equivalent
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 6600 or better."
Wrong.At least win vista,3G for dx9 at med/low settings,and 4+ if u wanna go dx10 med-to-high..V/Card at least a gtx8600 for res 1280×1024 at low settings,and a gtx285 and up for res 1680 to 2048. Game is LAG like HELL even with a high-system (sieges fps going under..10),i warned u peeps. Something i totally forgot to mention.Theres no global chat on f2p model,no tells to others,very very limited bank/bag (u cant even hold some potions/foods ffs) space and MOST morons GM's (Game Masters) and forums moderators.Yes,its true,if u post something like "oh god,why funcom never ban cheaters?",or "this game named Josh,using cheats" etc,they DELETE the post,sending you THREADS via mail ("please do not open again any kind of thread about cheat accusations,or we will ban you.this is your 1st and last warning") and BAN you from forums/game! Jesus christ.. Good luck with that bulls**t game 🙂 (ps: sry for my english,it isnt my language)
I playing age of conan since early beta (may 08),and i can tell you all, game its pure crap at the moment and it isn't FREE.. The only free thing is that u can run around doing quests and level to 80 (pvp levels also),but, after u hit lvl80, you MUST pay to UNLOCK ALL Raid Dungeons 🙂 No raid/instances, no gear at all (no armor,no weapon,no fun). Also your character money limit is just 2 Gold. Pure crap because u CAN'T even buy gear from auction houses. 2G can't save you at lvl80,and don't forget if u choose to play on hardcore pvp servers (Deathwish/US , Rage/EU), every time u died you drop items and money (5% of your total money). Also, the funniest part of the game, the Sieges,its total broken..EVERY siege, has CRASH after 5minutes (in some cases sieges crashing by players using hacks, Exile for ie.Guild who using siege hacks to win the battles or to crash to avoid the defeat). Another important thing,famous pvp servers (Fury/Rage/Deathwish),its FULL (im not kidding) of angry kids,running around with hacks (DPS (damage-per-second) boosters),speedhacks,teleports etc,since funcom (the company behind age of conan),holding a mmo from 2008 WITHOUT ANTI-CHEAT shield(s).Yes,i'm 1000% serious.NOT a SINGLE anti-cheat software since the BETA stage of the game..For god's sake.. Game NOT worthing a single hour now to play and its 25-30 Gigabytes. Old good AOC died after 1.05 patch.. 🙂 Only positive for this game is the great graphics and especially the players animation (full dx10,sdm 3,ffxqa etc) which looks so realistic 🙂 Anyways. Age of Conan Unchained its a BIG LIE.. Nothing free when u hit lvl80…And if u want to buy points for gear etc,watch out because its a BIG trick there and u must pay ALOT of money,so,open ur eyes and stay away from this CRAP… My personal rating after 3y there? 1/10 and i give 1 just for the graphics 🙂
BUT can you get any fun from this at all… (if you just play for fun and not to be the best)
huh. you know, i thought about going back (started at beginning, left jan '09)… but it looks like all the stuff that was bugging me is still there. difference: free to enjoy at my leisure. I checked the ole account out of boredom, and the rhino is still there… but with only using basic mounts, is it rideable? perhaps I shall stick to minecraft…
whats the client size ? i heard that is very very large xD
about 14 GB
this game takes for eva to load guys
about 30+GB
If a couple of breasts are all you need in a game to think of yourself as an adult I could recommend much better games with this with less intense graphics and better game play. Hooray it's gone F2P, be prepared to see how crappy and unpolished the game is passed that annoying island where you spend 60+ hours leveling a character you don't care about in the least and talking to annoying NPCs that basically are either one generic racist stereotype or another.
I've played this game off non again since beta and it's nothing special. The graphics are nice if you have the computer for it but everything else is pretty much the same beat em up, go go go, level, PvP crap as always. (Not a WoW clone? Their PvP Battles are the exact same as World of Warcraft btw…)
Ok but i need names of these games you mentioned plz…
this is the coolest of the mmo´s out there…
At least they didn´t copy the wow world and try something completly diferent,
i´ve hoped to find a game like this f2p but nothing is better than the real thing…
Don´t talk bad untill you´ve try because this game rocks… I´ve only stop playing because they stop making game cards (for portugal at least) and i dont like pay with credit card on the net…
The best news ever, can hardly wait
How old are you? 10? The game has always shown breasts (except in europe, where they are apparenlty less prudish, and got full frontal nudity.) since the game launched in 2008 (which I have played since launch). I am glad to see they are catering more to the adult players. If you can't handle a little nudity and violence in the world of conan, go play one of the kiddie games. There's plenty of them.
you dont have to say he is better of playing kiddie games.
he is keeping the reputation of mmobomb up.
if you want to see tits do like this man does and keep it for yourself.
PS. so you have any sochial contact's (you kindof get rlly mean if you don't)
Get real dude. Knock off the fake morality. There is nothing wrong with some boobs. If people didn't make a big deal about it it wouldn't be a problem. Here in America such ludicrous ideologies of 'morality' are ass back wards. The taboo on any thing "sexual" is merely for profit (people want whats taboo). Unlike in other countries where people appreciate and respect the human body.
Get real.

On May 25 the Pacific Union College Dramatic Arts Society brought its annual full-length production to the stage after nearly two months of rigorous preparation and rehearsal. This year, directors Mei Ann Teo and Heather Denton brought their interpretation of Charles Mee's Iphigenia 2.0 to life with a cast of 25 actors, including student, faculty and alumni. Mee, a survivor of polio, wrote Iphigenia 2.0 from his wheelchair and gave it his trademark of intense physical demands on the actors and a thematic pulse that always rests at the edge of chaos.
The play was inspired by Euripides' Iphigenia at Aulis, but has been reinterpreted to dress the ancient tale in the context of a modern wartime reality. Teo says, "The story of Iphigenia at Aulisis one of the most brutal of the Greeks. This brutality comes from the reality we know today of the deaths of innocents ordered by bureaucrats — but takes it to the ultimate sacrifice of one's daughter."
As the story unfolds, the audience sees King Agamemnon (Zach Dunn) forced to make a decision, which holds the fate of his nation's army and the life of his own daughter, Iphigenia, in the balance. The play depicts what follows as Agamemnon draws his wife, Clytemnestra (Cambria Wheeler), his brother, Menelaus (Jackson Boren), Iphigenia (Juliana Dalotto) and the warrior Achilles (Jonathan Garza), into his descent into madness that can only end in a wedding or war.
Professor Linda Gill, who plays a bridesmaid, said, "Iphigenia 2.0 is a play that reveals the lies we tell ourselves in order to go to war." The play ultimately tackles the question of what kind of sacrifice is justified in regards to the greater good of a nation. It examines the ways in which democratic leaders are both supported and criticized. Dalotto says, "It seems every nation has faced the same problem of restraining the power of its leaders, congress or no congress. The play uses this struggle to ask how far one would go, on principle, for what is better for the common good — and in this case, for a taste of democracy."
Performed in the PUC outdoor amphitheater, the show's theatrics went beyond the traditional structure of a Greek tragedy, incorporating elements of pop and hip hop into the mix as well. Much of the play's action centers around the soldiers and bridesmaids as they interact in the shadow of Iphigenia's pending doom. Professor Greg Schneider, who plays the Greek Man, said, "I was impressed with the almost over-the-top vitality and sense of fun combined with such serious talent and dedication — and with such grim subject matter."
An extensive series of detailed set pieces was created by production designer Kristen Adams, whose work can also be seen in the recent Wong Kar Wei film My Blueberry Nights and onSaturday Night Live. Adams' detailed balance of décor captured the juxtaposition of the play's various themes.
After several well-received shows, Iphigenia 2.0 has proven to be a worthy addition to DAS's continued string of successful productions. Teo states, "In this production, I feel that we made huge leaps in terms of tackling a collage play, and being able to handle the strange and complex emotions demanded by the text through a sophisticated level of physicality never achieved before in performance."
For those interested in seeing the DAS production of Iphigenia 2.0, there are still two performances left, one on Thursday, May 29, and one on Sunday, June 1. Both shows start at 4 p.m. and are $7 for general admission (Thursday show is $5 for students). For more information, call (707) 965-7020.

While the debate rages over NFL players protesting the national anthem, Funny Or Die is allowing them to tackle the issue head on ― by not committing either way.
"I want to show solidarity against systemic racism in America by taking a knee during the national anthem, but I'm a coward," the shoulder-padded spokesman for "Knee Shoes" says in the clip posted above. "That's why I wear Knee Shoes. No one can tell whether I'm kneeling or standing, allowing me to play both sides of the fence."

"You made the whole process so comfortable and worry-free. Thank you for making our ceremony that much more beautiful." – Sincerely, Jennifer C.
Suggestions to help you Organize your Event
These are some of the most common questions and concerns expressed by our clients. I hope they will be helpful!
Your Ceremony
We'd like to recommend that you have us start thirty minutes prior to a ceremony with music to greet your arriving guests. If the ceremony will be lengthy then please use the two-hour time. Most weddings start late, and some very late. It's why I have only graded the price to be just a little more for that extra time. There are logistics to adding the extra thirty minutes later for the quoted price so please talk to me about it, if it's a possible concern. Most Catholic and Greek Orthodox weddings are lengthy, and many other denominations as well. If you're adding other music or facets to the ceremony then you will want to consider the two hours time frame. You'll never regret more music.
The style of music is up to you. Many like to start with classics and continue through the ceremony, knowing that they'll have more modern music later for their guests. Others prefer more contemporary music during their ceremony. Be sure that if you are having your wedding in a church that your church allows contemporary selections.
Cocktail Time
Live string music is a beautiful touch for your guests and while you're off to get your pictures taken. Most cocktail times are forty-five minutes to an hour. Keep in mind that your ceremony may run over to affect the start time. You can check with your venue if you're unsure how much time they've designated for the cocktails. We have a lot of wonderful music to play during this time. Please see our repertoire!
Receptions and Dinners
As with the cocktail time it's a wonderful addition for you and your guests to have live music during dining. Our strings make for ease of conversation and add elegance. We enjoy performing for longer events and have a vast repertoire to appeal to a rather wide range of tastes. One might have classics for the earlier part of the event and then lighten up later with more contemporary music or a nice combination.
Corporate Events
Corporate events are a special time when colleagues are catching up with others, whether it's for business or just fun. Live string music is a wonderful option for ease of speaking and being heard, and added elegance to accompany your setting and venue choice. We really enjoy performing for corporate events. Some companies have us for the first 1 ½ or two hours, others for the entire event. We can play all classics or a nice combination. I'd like to recommend a duo or trio for small events, trio for 150 or so guests and quartet for 150-250 guests. We have many companies that have had us perform for their corporate event for several consecutive years.
Anniversaries and Parties
We are often hired to add a special atmosphere to anniversaries and parties of many kinds. These events are usually smaller in nature. Strings are a perfect compliment to the detail you've put into every facet of your venue. Our duo is often used to grace smaller parties though some of our clients like to expand with our trio or quartet even if the event is small. It's just a matter of your budget and vision. The amount of time recommended would depend on your idea of the overall effect. Some companies hire us for their greeting time while others have us play through the entire event.
Number of Musicians
Our options page will give you some ideas that should be helpful as to the number of musicians needed and feel free to contact me as well.
Hope these suggestions have been helpful. Feel free to call or email me for anything I've not covered here!

There are three common reasons cyber security has to be among the top priorities for the C-suite: To maintain confidence of partners, customers and investors. Loss of confidence by any of those groups could undermine corporate revenues.
A new report suggests there's another reason: To keep up the value of the company for a possible merger or acquisition.
"Virtually all acquirers must implement a rigorous diligence process when considering M&A targets," says the report by West Monroe Partners, a U.S.-based business and technology consulting firm. "The nature of cyber threats is also changing constantly, requiring a nimble approach to due diligence."
How big an issue is it? According to a survey of 30 senior executives at corporate and private equity firms that frequently conduct M&A transactions 80 per cent said cybersecurity issues are highly important in doing due diligence on potential deals. The other 20 per cent who said they are somewhat important.
Just over three quarters said said the importance of cybersecurity in potential deals had increased significantly over the last 24 months.
These numbers reflect the rapid growth of risks related to cybercrime and the growing number of costly data breaches, says the report.

I almost forgot to remember it was the 5th of November.
Waking up, groggily, in the office I took over from my predecessor, I had no idea what time it was, let alone the day. I'd worked long into the night, then into the still-dark morning going over resumes from potential staffers and my first interview was going to be today, whatever day today actually turned out to be. My phone claimed it was now 8:25 PM, the 5th of November.
I remembered!
I had to feed the neighbor's cats!
Here's the deal. My New York office isn't a storefront, it's a ground floor suite in an old apartment building, the kind used typically by eye doctors or orthodontists. Nate officed here for about twenty-five years and the rent, despite yearly increases, is pretty cheap, so I decided to keep it.
But keeping it meant I'd have neighbors. Like, regular neighbors…

This Saturday is about to be massive! Steez Promo and Glow are teaming up this Saturday to welcome Carnage and GTA back to DC in style.
When hometown hero Carnage visited the DMV this past November, 930 Club was completely sold out. If you're like me, and haven't been lucky enough to catch Carnage live, here's 2014 Ultra set. Familiarize yourself with his latest tunes and get hyped for Saturday's show!
GTA's set from Ultra was hot & diverse, but that's to be expected since the duo hails from Miami. They possess an unbeatable combination of dirty, sexy, hyped-up beats with hip-hop leanings and sometimes even a tropical vibe. Toth & Mejia refer to themselves as producers with no borders; they have been known to experiment with trap, house, moombahton, funky electro, booty bass, salsa, and pretty much anything they can put their own flavor on.
Want more tunes to jam to? Check out these awesome artist's Soundcloud links to learn all of their latest tracks.
Now that you're up to date on GTA & Carnage's music, it's time to purchase your Mega Glow DC ticket and join in on the mayhem that is about to go down at Echostage! Grab a ticket here and join the conversation on Facbeook here.

*Materials & info provided by Girls Heart Books Tours.
Kelly Hall was born and raised in Southeast Texas, and lives in a small town just a stone's throw from the ghost road where her Light Keeper series is based. When she's not busy writing or spending time with her husband and two sons, this self-proclaimed creative junkie dabbles in many different forms of art, including cake decorating and mixed media.
The Legend of the Light Keeper
(Light Keeper Series, #1)
~Released: March 4th, 2015
~Publisher: Booktrope
~Length: 172 Pages
~Genres: Young Adult, Paranormal
After a hurricane destroys her home, Lily Jordan is ready for life to get back to normal. That would be easy if her mother's recent engagement hadn't landed her in a house along Southeast Texas' most haunted ghost road. The secluded scenic road is steeped in rich history and legends, but when Lily is given an old diary on her birthday, will she find that those legends hold more for her future than she's bargained for?
With the help of new friends, Hunter and Owen, and forbidden love, Talon, will she uncover dark secrets from the past and find the key to her own gifts? Is it fate or circumstance that brought Lily to her new home? Normal gives way to the paranormal in book one of the Light Keeper series where mystery and suspense keeps you guessing until the very last page.
The Secret of Strange Waters
(Light Keeper Series, #2)
~Released: July 20th, 2015
~Publisher: Booktrope
~Length: 208 Pages
~Genres: Young Adult, Paranormal
Unfortunately for Lily Jordan, being a Light Keeper doesn't come with an instruction manual, but neither does being sixteen. While learning to use her powers, she's confronted with unforeseen obstacles and forced to break her own rules in order to save her circle of friends.
With her mom's wedding on the horizon, will misinterpreted visions create new enemies who could threaten Lily's exposure? Will death and heartache ruin the big day? For Lily, the answers only lead to impossible decisions. Does she embrace her powers or abandon them for false normalcy?
Kelly Hall's second book, The Secret of Strange Waters, proves paranormal powers aren't always a blessing.
Please share the playlist you listened to while writing The Secret of Strange Waters with us.
I don't listen to music when I write, but this is a list of songs that inspire me, in no particular order of favoritism.
Down in a Hole- Alice in Chains
No Excuses- Alice in Chains
In the Pines- Nirvana
The Man Who Sold the World- Nirvana
The Chain- Fleetwood Mac
Gold Dust Woman- Fleetwood Mac
I Feel You- Depeche Mode
Enjoy the Silence- Depeche Mode
Bittersweet Symphony- The Verve
Come Undone- Duran Duran
Everlong- Foo Fighters
How I Wish You Were Here- Pink Floyd
Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You- Led Zeppelin
There are tons others, but I could really go on and on so I won't. :D
If the Light Keeper Saga was made into movies and you could cast anyone you wanted, who would you choose?
Some of the actors are a little older now, but my original dream cast that inspired my character's descriptions off of are as follows:
(For cast images, nominations and additional info, visit this book's page on ifList.com!)
(For cast images, nominations and additional info, visit this book's page on ifList.com!)
Lily Jo Jordan- I always based her looks off of a very young Evangeline Lilly. The dark hair, freckled skin, and little upturned nose, with some killer lime green contacts.
Talon Thomas- Talon's description wasn't really based on anyone when I wrote him, but I think Robert Sheehan could pull him off with some dark brown contacts and that gorgeous curly hair of his.
Owen Riley- I have always thought Owen would be perfectly played by Hunter Parrish. He's gorgeous.
Hunter Riley- Would be perfectly played by Zach Roerig who plays "Matty Blue Eyes" on The Vampire Diaries. He's handsome and looks like he could be Hunter Parrish's brother.
Ida "Granny" Riley- I have always seen her in my mind as a cross between two late actresses, Estelle Getty and Jessica Tandy.
Cate Jordan- Lily's mom was inspired from a younger Meg Ryan.Short blonde hair, tiny frame like Lily.
Stephen "Tom" Thomas- I always see him as Dylan McDermott
That is my core cast. Such fun! I'm glad I got to share it.
What a neat series! What do you guys think? Does the dream cast sound like one you'd enjoy? Do you like any of the music from the playlist? Let us know in the comments below!
If you enjoyed this post, please share it :D
Thanks for stopping by!

A new review for Harkness on Amazon:
Characters to care alot about
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Harkness: A High Desert Mystery (Kindle Edition)It's always a throw of the dice to buy and read a first-time novel from a new writer. I won, with this one. Mr. Bigham has given us a real community, a gruesome murder, and a detective we can care about. Harkness is flawed, not quite sure he is up to the job, yet in his quiet, uncertain way, shows us the woman he loves, the politics of a true small community, and he manages to figure things things out.
I have to admit I am disappointed there aren't more books from Michael Bigham. Readers who love a filled-out character, a real place, and a true mystery will love Harkness. I'm a real fan. Let's hope Bigham is working on more of Harkness to give us.
Yup, I'm working on the next installment in the Harkness series. The working title is An Alien of a Different Sort. I'm hoping to have it out by the end of the year.
If you're interested in reading Harkness: A High Desert Mystery, it is available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

Warning: This recap of The Bachelor Episode 4 contains spoilers.
You know how it goes, rose lovers. Week 1, everyone's giddy and focused on getting through the all-night cocktail party without passing out from exhaustion and/or excessive Chardonnay consumption. Week 2, the "ladies" are still, like, totally psyched to be on TV even if it means doing awkward group activities like driving dirty cars into each other at full speed. Week 3, the potential wives finally start noticing the other potential wives around them — and by the time Week 4 rolls around, the women are in full-on "evaluating/tearing down the competition" mode.
Which brings us to Bekah.
Who is this pixie-haired minx, and could the Bachelor truly be considering her as a potential wife? These are the questions the women ponder over their coffee. "Does he know how young she is?" wonders Caroline, noting that Bekah and Arie have a 14-year age gap. Not that Bachelor is aware, of course. "If she holds out any longer telling him," says Chelsea, "maybe that might not go over well."
Now that we know this week's A story, it's time for Mr. Harrison to give the girls their marching orders. "It's time for you to leave this place," says our host. "You're going to meet Arie… in South Lake Tahoe!" It may not be that exotic, "ladies," but look — bears!
With Arie safely ensconced in the Hard Rock Hotel and the women squared away in their luxuriously rustic cabin, it's time to get the dates going. Seinne gets the first one-on-one — and she's smart enough to realize that might not be a good thing. "I'm so excited but I'm so nervous," she admits. "After Lauren went home on a one-on-one, it feels like a lot of pressure." Don't worry, girl — just don't talk like a sorority girl on a crank bender, you'll be fine.
The first part of the date doesn't require much talking at all, actually.
"Parasailing is about letting go and seeing where the wind takes you," Seinne informs us. "I think being open to this relationship is kind of similar to that." Sure?
Post-parasailing, Arie and Seinne sit by the lake, drinking champagne and making small talk. The Bachelor tells Seinne that he's wanted to take her on a date since night one, because she's "very educated," "traveled," and a "damn good kisser." You know what that means:
Back at the cabin, poor Maquel gets a call from home, and the news isn't good.
Understandably, Maquel decides to head home to be with her family… though maybe not for good. "I think she needs to come back," says Marikh. "I think Arie will be really understanding and compassionate."
At dinner, Seinne is cautiously optimistic about her relationship — though, she adds, "I'm a black female, and they don't tell a lot of stories about girls like me having the fairytale ending." It may sound like a minor point, but clearly this — and watching her parents struggle with their marriage — has colored Seinne's view on what type of relationship she thinks she deserves. The good news is, she's aware of her baggage, as it were, and she frankly lays it all out on the table for Arie.
"I felt like I knew you from just like the first few seconds of talking to you," replies the Bachelor. "I'm feeling that this could be the start of something amazing, and this could be our love story." Well played, sir. Give that Yale grad the rose! Oh, and then make her dance at a concert in front of a bunch of cellphone-wielding strangers. Naturally.
The next day, Chelsea, Krystal, Becca, Marikh, Ashley, Jacqueline, Jenna, Tia, Kendall, Lauren, Brittany, and Caroline venture into the great outdoors to meet Arie for a romantic hike in the mountains. Waiting for them in the woods is retired Green Beret Combat Commander Mykel Hawke and his wife, who are there to teach Arie and his harem some survival skills.
Congrats, Team Bachelor — you finally found a group date activity worse than bikini skiing and zombie paintball. After sending the women off into the woods to fill up their "pee canisters," Mykel tells the Bachelor to "lead by example."
While the women shriek and gag, Jacqueline decides to woman up and take a shot of her own urine. Fortunately, Arie shouts, "Wait, wait, wait!" before she can bring the canister to her lips. "It was just apple juice!" Jacqueline is not amused.
While the pee exercise was a trick, the next survival lesson involves eating real worms from the fresh mountain dirt. "I've eaten bugs before," says Kendall with a shrug. "It's time to show Arie what I'm made of." She and the Bachelor both gobble down a worm and a maggot ("It pops in your mouth!" marvels Kendall)… and then they sneak off into the woods to make out.
There is not enough Listerine on this planet, to be honest.
The final challenge has the women dividing into teams and using a map and a compass to find their way to a "special location." It saddens me to report that the only team that doesn't get lost is the one with Arie on it — because there's nothing this show does better than reinforce stereotypes about women. "I wouldn't call us the Dream Team at this point," deadpans Becca. Eventually, though, everyone makes their way to "the oasis" for a quick soak in the outdoor hot tub before cocktail hour. Things we learned during the cocktail party:
*Arie is looking for a woman with a "flexible schedule." (h/t Lauren)
*Kendall has a taxidermied duckling named Ping. (And Arie LOVES it: "She's quirky and extremely sexy at the same time.")
*It took Krystal four weeks to realize that she's on The Bachelor. "I felt challenged being in such a large group date," she grouses. "He's one person, and we're 12."
Mmmmmmkay. As the women roll their eyes and mock Krystal's breathy baby voice in their confessionals, Krystal sits down with Arie to complain about how hard it is to share him with other women. "It just weighs on me," she pouts. "I feel a little ostracized. … I think that people feel a little threatened."
Yeeaaaah. And when Krystal tries to air her grievances with Raven 2 (aka Tia) and Caroline, she gets about the response you'd expect.
"You're not even aware of how you make everyone else feel," snaps Raven 2. She's still all worked up when it's her turn to sit down and chat with Arie. "I feel this comfort with you, and it scares me that you feel it with other people," says Tia, her voice tight with tears.
So whose display of vulnerability will earn her the coveted date rose? Survey says…
Krystal, like, totally can't even with this development. "I honestly feel like a lot of the girls here just, like, don't operate at my level," she huffs. The next morning, she's still grouchy about the other women and the fact that they have the audacity to exist in her presence. "I come across as flawless, and then have a target put on my back," she explains helpfully. "I feel a little misunderstood."
Let's put a pin in Krystal's narcissism and head outside for Arie's one-on-one with Bekah. Will today be the day he learns that when he was a 14-year-old, Bekah was an infant who couldn't yet hold up her own head? Let's find out.
She doesn't tell him during their scenic horseback ride around the lake, nor does Bekah break the news during their romantic soak in another outdoor hot tub.
They do, however, talk about Arie's racing accident in a truck named "Black Widow" — it ended with him breaking his collarbone and passing out. Yikes.
She's gotta tell him at dinner, right? (Well, obviously — they've been teasing it in the "coming up" previews all night.) "I want us to be transparent with each other," Bekah tells him. Great! Because the Bachelor has a lot of questions. Specifically, "Are you ready, would you be ready [to get married] if the time were right?"
Her elliptical answer — "I don't think I've ever been in the right time or with the right person. How can you know that if you haven't been there before?" — doesn't cut it, so Arie tries again. Now that he's 36, he explains, his life has "slowed down" a lot, and he likes things like getting up early and wearing cardigans. "I'm in a different place than I was in my late 20s. So my fear with you is that you might be where I was in my 20s."
Dude, you have no idea. And you're about to find out. "Do you know how old I am?" Bekah wonders aloud, as if she doesn't already know the answer. And when she drops the bomb, telling Arie she's just 22, his reaction is appropriate.
"You're sooooo young!" he groans. Bekah's all, Yeah, but my sister got married at 19, and my brother got married at 21 so I come from a long line of child spouses! Our Bachelor doesn't really look like he's buying it, but he also isn't quite ready to give this sexy "lady" up — especially when she gives him that "pretty please with sugar on top" look.
"I'm not here for a 22-year-old girlfriend," Arie tells us. "I'm here to find a wife… I don't know what to do." Yes you do, pal. Get on with it.
Potential wives, assemble! It is time for the cocktail party. But when the women gather in the mountaintop villa to meet Arie, they're greeted by this guy instead.
No cocktail party tonight, "ladies"! You'll get nothing but a rose ceremony — and you'll like it. Krystal is nearly beside herself with panic, because, as Lauren puts it, "she's starting to see that maybe she isn't the only girl that he's interested in." Indeed, the seemingly interminable pause before Arie calls out the first name is too much for Krystal to bear, and she has to break the fourth rose ceremony wall.
She wants "a quick moment" of Arie's time, and what else can he say but yes? Settle in, "ladies," this might take a while.
So what was so urgent, Krystal? Ohhhh, you needed to remind Arie that you feel "such a connection" with him and that you're "not here to play games." Good call — I'm sure he didn't catch that the first 4,371 times you mentioned it.
Aaaand we're back. Joining Bekah, Seinne and Raven 2 in the winners' circle is: Lauren, Kendall, Ashley, Becca K., Chelsea, Jenna, Jacqueline, Marikh, and… [silent scream] Krystal. Welp, Brittany and Caroline, it's been real. And extra props to you, Caroline, for taking off your heels the second you realized you were going home.
Life is too short to wear uncomfortable shoes, people.
Now it's your turn, rose lovers. Are you surprised Krystal is still around? Are you even more surprised that baby Bekah is still around? And is "glam-shaming" really a thing? Post your thoughts now! And be sure to check out Chris Harrison's exclusive behind-the-scenes blog right here. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to silkscreen "I am, and have always been, pro-glam" on T-shirts for Etsy.
The Bachelor airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.

A common, but costly, mistake is assuming that the best merchant services offer the lowest rates. Trading quality service and security features for rock-bottom pricing can come at a high expense when your business is on the line. The most accurate indicator of a top provider is not fees and rates, but whether it offers proven solutions to help your business grow. Following are six essential traits to look for the best merchant services:
- Real-Time Reporting: Choose a transparent Merchant Services Provider with a simple, web-based system that generates real-time reporting. It should allow easy batch viewing so you can line up your books, and provide detailed reports with filters to view data such as varying time frames and transaction types. Real-time reporting makes accounting and reconciliation a breeze.
- Transparency: The best merchant services are transparent, with clearly defined rates and terms so you can easily understand what you're paying. Make sure your provider has readable merchant statements so you can avoid falling prey to unethical billing practices. Look for a provider that won't lock you into a contract or charge you fees for setup or cancellation. Though it's rare, it's ideal to find a provider with that level of integrity.
- Next-Day Funding: Stray away from Payment Facilitators (i.e, PayPal) that cannot guarantee next-day funding, especially if you're processing high volumes. Choose a provider that offers next-day funding to guarantee that the money goes into your account as quickly as possible. Beware: There are providers that charge a fee for next-day deposits, but they are easily avoidable.
- Comprehensive Support: Work with a transparent Merchant Services Provider with integrated merchant credit card processing services to ensure that you get all your questions answered in one place. Don't get stuck on a phone tree, getting passed off to different companies, and don't endure the frustration of trying to communicate with a robot at a support center. Ideally, your provider should offer both group and one-on-one training with a plentiful resource center at your fingertips.

text: How Google does performance management In the early 2000s, Google adopted an innovative internal employee review system known as Objectives and Key Results (OKRs). Now, Google's senior vice president of People Operations Laszlo Bock has unveiled the details of the company's HR strategies in a new book, Work Rules!. According to Business Insider, Bock's book details that employees set a goal for themselves and outline a series of measurable results that will help them achieve the objective. Google's CEO reportedly does this for the entire company. The OKRs are the first step in the tech giant's performance management process, and are followed by several key components. Measuring performance Google managers rate their employees on a five point scale, which ranges from 'needs improvement' to 'superb'. Peer feedback Employees and their managers select a group of peer reviewers – this group must also include employees who are junior to them. Peer reviewers list one thing that the employee should do more of and one thing that they could do differently to have a greater impact on Google. Calibrating Groups of managers engage in meetings to review all their staff members' ratings together. This is designed to reduce managers' bias, as managers explain their decisions to one another. At the beginning of these meetings, managers are given a list of potential biases, such as the 'recency effect' – a tendency to disproportionately value an employee's most recent behaviours. Pay discussions are separated from annual reviews Google conducts all annual reviews in November, while talks about pay occur around a month later. This is designed to complement Google's hope that employees want to improve their performance for the sake of contributing to the company, as opposed to doing so only to increase their salary. According to Bock, research indicates that employees perform better in the absence of incentives such as more money. He adds that employees at Google want to be evaluated because they wish to grow and ultimately become the best at what they do.

Baby Sweet Pea
After a long hiatus it is good to be back! I spent quite a lot of time after the holidays going through my stamping space and trying to better organize and label things; I wanted to utilize every inch of my small space. It was good to get those chores done (even though I would rather have been stamping!) because now I don't feel so cramped or have precarious stacks of paper and tools about to topple over me. :)
After all of that I finally have a card to share. There is another baby boom happening amongst my friends and acquaintances so I started by making a stack of baby cards to have handy. This pea pod image is one of my favorite baby stamps, and the great thing about it is that it can be for either a boy or a girl!
The focal image was done by die cutting an oval twice, once in Whisper White and once in Crumb Cake. After stamping the pea pod image on the white oval, I trimmed the Crumb Cake oval down so that only the bottom portion remained, creating a "ground" for the image. I stamped the piece of Crumb Cake oval with an image from Tin Types in Always Artichoke. The same image was used to stamp the strip behind the scallop oval, but using Crumb Cake ink instead.
The last thing I wanted to share is that the Kiwi Kiss panel got the special treatment with my new PTI Book Print impression plate. Love! Some stitching around the edges finished things off.
Thanks for stopping by! :)
