Dating back to as early as the Revolutionary War, the story of how the term "Tar Heel" came about has been told several different ways. The most common of stories is that during the Civil War, a group of North Carolina soldiers scolded their comrades for leaving the battlefield when things got tough. The soldiers threatened to stick tar on the heels of the retreating soldiers to help them stay in the battle. General Robert E. Lee is said to have commented "God bless the Tar Heel boys!" Just like the thousands of alumni across the country, our members at UNC Finley are proud to say "I'm a Tar Heel" as well.

Join the Guild

Julie Temperton
My love for crafting came from a young age, watching 'Blue Peter' with my washing up bottles and sticky back plastic, attempting to copy the models, and has continued ever since.
In High School I could always be found in the art rooms, where a passion grew for screen printing and fabric designing.
As my family arrived, I turned to less messy crafts and started making everlasting Christmas wreaths and then card making.
I adore the different materials and diversity that card making brings, from rubber stamping to quilling and making models from card. I started selling my cards at work and family members' work places, then the odd craft show, until I was introduced to the Guild where it has grown immensely that I now have an outlet in Spain.

Taking the Lead: Back from CES 2017
23 January 2017 — By LeddarTech
LeddarTech's live demonstrations of its solutions for autonomous driving was a huge success at CES 2017, triggering a lot of interest among major players of the automotive industry and establishing LeddarTech as a major player in solid-state LiDAR technologies.
The aftermath of the event is that LeddarTech currently is leading the pack in solid-state LiDAR sensing for autonomous driving applications, being the only company that has shown concrete, functional units that demonstrate the full extent of Leddar's potential.
LeddarTech showcased a MEMS-based solid-state scanning LiDAR at CES 2017.
Having set up the foundations of our technology supply chain also confirms that LeddarTech is in the driver' seat for mass deployment of LiDAR for ADAS/AD. Indeed, as announced a few weeks back, LeddarTech has successully established a solid network of suppliers to achieve significant milestones towards industry-leading specifications.
Concept LiDAR integrations for autonomous driving applications were on display at Fiat-Chrysler's space, presented in partnership with Magneti Marelli, Automotive Lighting and Autoliv.
We invite you to continue your experience here for updated press reviews, pictures, videos, publications and more about CES 2017.
"And while Quanergy said it would soon ramp its sensor production to a level that will enable a price point below $250, LeddarTech reckons it can trump that with a unit that could sell for just $100." – Optics.org
"With improved range, FOV and an ecosystem of partners and demonstrations on OEM vehicles like FCA, this Quebec-based company is fast scaling up the ranks." – Praveen Chandrasekar, Frost & Sullivan Viewpoint – CES 2017 Automotive Expectations
"This high-resolution 3D LiDAR represents a true breakthrough in automotive sensing." – Auto Connected Car News

To answer this interesting question – one that has eluded so many over so many years, so we have had little option; but to believe what the Medical Profession tells us.
In very simple terms and it need not be more so – as it is the same for all illness, although all with different and unique endpoint activity – it is also the same process for so called; genetic illness.
Parents of Children grow up as individual People – mostly not knowing one another.
They meet and having grown up in perhaps, unrecognised fear from THEIR OWN Parental caused traumas – this on-going process interferes with their entire Cody Chemistry, which is somewhat Toxic and Caustic.
They come together and still in fear – often if not always hidden by other poorly treated illness yet despite this, seeks to become Parents and not knowing their Body chemistry may well be injurious to their Child.
With a now aged policy of. "I will not bring my Children up to suffer in the same manner as I."
During confinement, the Child is on a 24-hour base, bombarded with these chemicals and takes them – having caused a chemically driven anxiety as instructions. Affecting everything, life will mean to them in the future.
This acts as a further Trauma that is reflected in their life by rendering them inadequate unable to cope with life's demands. Also known as, Tiredness/Fatigue no rest/sleep will quench.
This in turn creates an internal Mind-Body driving force that may or may not be recognised – as a desire to build their life in a strong way.
The shape of the trauma depicts the area of the Body deemed requiring strengthening and as we are all constructed from Proteins – it seems reasonable to consider the Body will send Protein's to the area of the Body that requires the support.
To enable this to happen; the Mind has to switch of production of Amino Acids – perhaps to be considered the most important element or chemical in the Body.
The activity of Amino Acids – again in very simple terms is to reduce the size of the Building Block Proteins, in order for them to pass through the eyelets in the Body capillaries.
This chemical. Amino Acid – of course, must not to be seen as acting alone, moreover without it we would grow to the size of Dinosaur's and is at the forefront of the Body's Immune systems activity and Body replication processes.
Now if we can accept we are all constructed by Proteins and Proteins are a life growing process.
It does not take a quantum shift in thinking (A mind Process) to understand in the absence of Amino Acid – the sole reason its productivity is eased or ceased, the Body is trying to build/strengthen itself.
Therefore now, to be considered trapped Proteins rather like flotsam and jetsam build up in a pond. – as they are a living organism. Simply "grow" at the site of an eyelet and as so often experienced; bits break off and are transported around the Body for further improvement of structure until with what is called Cancer metastases, appear to have spread into unexpected areas of the Body.
Moreover, in so doing this now growing organism is consuming all of the Body Chemistry – thus is fuel to sustain the Cancer growth at the expense of the Body.
Process: Fear > Anxiety > Inadequacy > Fatigue > A Lifetime of ever-changing illness symptoms – sustained by Unresolved and Unresolvable Mind stored Content, that maintains the entire Body chemistry is a constant state of Negative Toxic Caustic Flux. Cancer is but one product.

"Masterfully tender, confidently elegant. Beautiful textures propel a powerful listening experience."
Dr Davey Ray Moor
(Cousteau / Songwriting Course Leader, Bath Spa University)
"The range of techniques and song-writing traits are so vast that I think we may simply have to leave it as a moment in time where someone did something different with the same tools we've known for a long time. It's like the past meeting the present in a calm storm. "Record of Wrongs" is a strong work that is incredibly versatile using a wide range of emotions and styles. An intense and beautiful journey."

After more than one year of serving up local brews and trendy wines, The Parched Pig in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., is adding specialty cocktails to its menu.
Located a few doors down from sister restaurant, Coolinary Café, the rustic bar's cocktail menu is debuting with summertime cocktails such as the Petunia Pig made with Plymouth Gin, Crème de Violette, Luxardo Maraschino, honey syrup, lemon juice and egg white; D. O. Double G. made with Gracias a dios Mezcal, black pepper, saline, simple syrup and lime juice; and Dancing in the Dark with cold brew coffee, Blackwell Rum, Hoodoo Chicory, Amaro di Angostura, Cockburn 12 year port, vanilla and cream.
In addition to creative concoctions, The Parched Pig offers classic cocktails revitalized, including the French 75, Gin Fizz, Daiquiri, Sazerac and Pimm's Cup.
Those who prefer to enjoy cocktails straight can take advantage of the extensive bar collection featuring hard-to-find bourbons and smoky mezcals, poured in traditional ceramic shot bowls from Mexico.
Guests can pair the new cocktails with the seasonal snack menu featuring regional oysters, charcuterie (my favorite) and scallop ceviche. The dessert menu includes key lime panna cotta and bourbon-infused chocolate bread pudding. Complimentary apple cider donuts are passed around at last call.

It's no frills with fast thrills at this well-hidden dry cruising sex venue
Signal has been serving up quick roots and seedy sessions for as long as Boy George has been fat.
Hidden two floors above the Tool Shed on Oxford Street, Signal is as dry a cruising joint as an Arrow Root biscuit, but pulls in plenty of hot trade. The benefit of having a back entrance to the venue means plenty of curious guys duck in for a quick 'how's your father' during lunch time and straight after work.
Saturday nights are a bit of a train wreck in the way that drunk (and often hot) fellas use Signal as a plan B if they have failed to pull in a root at the club they just paid $25 for entry at.
Plenty of rooms, booths, glory holes and two porn rooms makes Signal cheap, but not so nasty.
Oh did we mention that on Monday nights if you whip it out and prove you size up 8 inches plus, you get in for free.

Wow, it's been a full month since we've done one of these.
Suffice to say, there's been plenty to keep us busy here at FlashRouters, what with our newly redesigned website and all that. But we still want to keep you posted about interesting developments in the world of internet privacy and general technology. So won't you please take a look below? There's certainly a lot to get you excited (and a few things to make you a little nervous).
Stories from the World of Streaming Media
Streaming Video Advertising Many of us have made the leap from paying for expensive cable packages and watching our favorite shows at network regulated intervals to buying streaming media devices and watching movies and television at our own pace. It's a cheaper, more autonomous existence, one largely free of unwanted interruptions from cloying advertisers. Well, no longer; the advertisers have finally noticed.
Hitbliss On the other hand, maybe there are some advantages to having advertisers dump themselves into the middle of our peaceful, streaming media existences. Although it's only available on desktops and on the web (not mobile devices) at the moment, a new streaming media service called "Hitbliss" wants to let you watch some newly released movies (like Argo or The Bourne Legacy) for free, provided that you'll sit through some targeted ads. Sit through enough ads, and you accumulate funds that you can spend on new movies and television.
Pandora Limits Mobile Streaming Though desktop streaming will remain unlimited, internet radio giant Pandora has officially put an end to unlimited streaming for mobile devices. Due to the heavy increase in royalty payments, Pandora has limited mobile users to 40 hours of free ad-supported streaming a month. If you wish to exceed 40 hours, you'll have to pay a fee.
Stories of Online Security & Privacy
Another Java Zero-Day Vulnerability Mere weeks after the release of an update to the Java browser plug-in, a Zero-Day vulnerability has been found. Visit this article if you want to find out how to protect yourself from it.
Evernote Hacked Evernote, the popular note-taking application, has been hit by hackers. You know, like everyone else lately. On the positive side, premium members' credit card numbers were not exposed. However, if you use Evernote, you might consider changing your password.
And Your Locked iPhone Isn't Safe Either A locked iPhone is still way less vulnerable than an unlocked one, but some industrious hackers have figured out a way to get around the locked screen using the Emergency Call function. This means that your contacts, photos, and voicemails aren't quite as safe as you'd like them to be.
12 Personal Security Resolutions Okay, now that we've shown you that seemingly everything in the world has been, or is going to be, hacked, how about some ways to assure you that can protect yourself and maintain your privacy? Sure, you're two months removed from making your 2013 New Year's resolution and ever-s0-slightly less removed from when you decided your resolution was stupid and abandoned it, but here are some practical ways you can beef up the security around your internet presence without driving yourself crazy.
Google in Europe Privacy and free speech laws in the US and Europe differ a whole lot more than you might think, and the complications those differences create can lead to some truly knotty legal issues. Whether or not American internet companies that also operate in Europe have to abide by European laws is dependent on the outcome of this fascinating ongoing privacy case.
Stories from the World of Technology
Facebook's New Newsfeed The ongoing social experiment that is Facebook's Timeline interface continues with yet another development in the look of their Newsfeed. The new look is supposed to be more picture oriented, which we predict will be jarring at first, until you get used to it, at which point they'll change it again.
Why Web-Browsing on an iPad Sucks It boils down to this: Apple would rather you downloaded the app for the website you're trying to visit, rather than simply visit it. That's why web-surfing on an iPad is so frustrating. The whole article's worth reading though.
Why Are Progress Bars So Inaccurate? While we're on the subject of your technology failing you, have you ever wondered why the progress bars designed to indicate the speed of a page loading are so maddeningly erratic?
Google Posts Compression Code Rather than flooding you with links about the limits of technology, we'll give you something heartening for a change: Google has posted a compression code, Zopfli, which is designed to speed up web downloads. And they say the big companies are heartless just because they usually are.
Surface Tablets, Big-Screen TVs to Be Cheaper in March Lastly, and because we know how prohibitively expensive these things can usually be, you should know that the folks at Techhive are predicting that Microsoft's Surface Tablets, Ivy Bridge Laptops, and big-screen HDTV's are due to become a bit cheaper this coming month.

'Heart Thoughts,' by Louise L. Hay, I have owned a while now. It was a birthday or Christmas gift from a friend. Although I have read this book some time ago, it is still a book you can go back to and dip your head back into it. This book has been used a couple of times as conversation between my friend to me, so I can look up the page she talked about in her email, to read a quote that seamt right for me, at that period of time in my life. So this book I treasure.
This book is a collection of meditations, spiritual treatments and excerpts from Louise L. Hay lectures. They focus on aspects of our day-to-day experiences and are meant to guide and assist us in particular areas we may be having particular difficulties.
This book can be read through thoroughly, which I suggest you do first, as well as dip in and out of where you need to read.

Dear Hillary,
I am planning on coming over for two weeks after Xmas. As I will be on my own, I'd like to find some company to share my exploration of Pattaya and down as far as Rayong. Mates who have been to Pattaya before tell me it is easy to get a good-looking guide who knows the areas. It all sounds a little too good to be true. Is it really that simple? Do you just go into a bar and say, "Anyone like a trip to Rayong? All expenses paid." And what do you do if you find you don't like her?
Dear Uncertain,
Your mates did very little to prepare yourself for the adventure of a lifetime. But why Rayong, Petal? Now in response to your queries, yes there are 10,194 willing guides, so there are plenty for you to choose from. To make sure you get along together, you spend a few nights at the bars and you will find someone who floats your boat and might be the guide of the year. You have a word with the mamasan who will advise you on fees and can assist you with what is expected in looking after the guide. Be sure to choose one who speaks enough English, and I am sure you will have a wonderful time.

Dan's Jamaican Spiced Cider
January 1, 2011
Named for Daniel Short, the husband behind eatingwithangela.com, Dan's Jamaican Spiced Cider recipe is perhaps the easiest and quickest spiced cider recipe ever. Dan appreciates the simple things and avoids anything complicated in the kitchen (or bar for that matter).
Unlike other spiced cider recipes, this recipe only has one cider, liquor and a dash of cinnamon. St. Elizabeth's™ Allspice Dram packs a strong spicy punch, so you won't need to have a pantry stocked with allspice, clove, or nutmeg.
About St. Elizabeth's™ Allspice Dram
From the origins in the tropical hills and valleys of Jamaica, the allspice berry has for generations been prized for its exceptional taste of clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg and a pepper note that dazzles the palate. The allspice liqueur known in classic cocktails as "Pimento Dram", brings together the fine pot-still rum and allspice berries of Jamaica. Enjoy St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram in classic cocktails, Wassail and other punches, mulled wine, continental and island cuisine. – Back of the Bottle
Nutrition Info
1 1/4 cups
Not available at this time. per Serving
- 1 cup Honeycrisp Apple Cider (or Apple Cider that's already good and sweet)
- 1 oz. St. Elizabeth's™ Allspice Dram
- 1 dash of cinnamon
In a cup big enough to hold at least 1 1/4 cups (10 oz.), heat the apple cider in the microwave until it is just barely too hot to drink. Add 1 oz. (or 2 tablespoons) of St. Elizabeth's Allspice Dram. Stir it up, add a dash of cinnamon on top and enjoy... Irie Mon!
NOTE: Allspice, nutmeg and clove all have a bit of a numbing effect. Allspice Dram does too! Don't be too surprised if your mouth and throat go a little numb when drinking this beverage.

The fundamental vehicle from Hyundai's N performance division, the i30 hatchback, is coming later this year. Wretchedly, that handsome little five door isn't bound for the US. While the Korean automaker won't affirm what will be coming to America in 2018, we're almost positive that the beforehand model will be the next-gen Veloster. The car is well into development, and we now have some new photos of a shakedown at the Nürburgring.
Antiseptic facts are scarce, but based on what we know about the i30 we can make some erudite guesses about the Veloster. The car will be powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four making either yon 250 horsepower or 280 with an optional performance pack. Power desire be sent to the front wheels through a six-speed manual, though Hyundai hasn't ruled out a dual-embrace b influence transmission for the future. Look for big wheels with sticky summer rubber to environment beefy Brembo brakes.
Although every Veloster we've seen both in photos and in yourself has been covered with a decent amount of camouflage, we can see the car's basic outline. The car wish still feature an asymmetrical door layout, with one on the driver's side and two on the commuter side. The large grille is now shaped like the corporate cascading grille. It's styled like a overthrown-bottomed version of Superman's "S" logo. While the standard and Turbo models inclination feature center-exit exhaust tips, the Veloster N pushes the exhaust to the corners of the bumper.
Pricing and dispatch numbers haven't been revealed, but Hyundai is gunning straight for the Volkswagen GTI. In characteristic Hyundai fashion, it's likely to undercut the competition by a hair or two. Look for prices in the mid $20,000s when the Veloster N arrives next year. Keep in view a full reveal sometime this fall.

The agency reviewed the decommissioning funding status report for Entergy Nuclear Operations Inc.'s plant last year and found that it met NRC's requirements, Region III Senior Public Affairs Officer Viktoria Mitlyng explained in a Dec. 12 blog post.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is ready to monitor the planned shutdown by Entergy Nuclear Operations Inc. of the Palisades Nuclear Plant, a pressurized water reactor plant located in Covert, Mich., about 5 miles south of South Haven, Mich., Region III Senior Public Affairs Officer Viktoria Mitlyng explained in a Dec. 12 blog post.
Entergy announced last week that it plans to permanently shut down the plant on Oct. 1, 2018. It has been in operation since 1971 and is licensed to operate until 2031. Mitlyng explained that "the NRC was not involved in the decision, which the company said was based on business and financial factors. Our single focus as an independent regulator is on the safety of nuclear plants, the public and the environment. However, once any announcement about closure is made, the NRC becomes engaged and the company has to meet our requirements for permanently shutting down an operating reactor."
She explained that the irst step in this process requires Entergy to make a written Certification of Permanent Cessation of Operations to the NRC within 30 days from announcing its decision to permanently take the plant off line.
Entergy could still decide to extend the plant's operation and must so inform the agency if it decides to do so. As long as the plant is operating, the NRC will continue to independently verify Palisades is meeting requirements.
"These requirements will remain in place until all fuel is removed from the reactor and the NRC has the company's certifications of permanent cessation of operation and permanent fuel removal. At that point in the process, Entergy is no longer authorized to put new fuel into the reactor or resume plant operation.
The plant then enters the NRC's well-established decommissioning process geared towards ensuring the continued safe use of nuclear material, and the safety of nuclear workers and the public. Decommissioning must be completed within 60 years of the plant ceasing operations," she wrote. "Nuclear plant operators are required to plan for the ultimate decommissioning of the plant before it begins operations by establishing and maintaining a dedicated decommissioning fund. These funds – created to ensure there will be sufficient money to pay for a plant's radiological decommissioning — cannot be used for any other purpose unless the NRC grants an exemption. Operating plants must maintain the required levels established by the NRC and certify that there is reasonable assurance there will be adequate decommissioning funds, at least every two years while the plant is operating and more frequently after it ceases operations. The NRC reviewed the decommissioning funding status report for Palisades in 2015 and found that it met our requirements."

The Big Charity Concert is back for a fourth year to raise funds for St Wilfrid's Hospice. This year's event boosts three popular and successful GBT contestants as part of the exciting line up and is headed up by one of them - local entertainer and comedian Steve Hewlett who will be wowing the audience with his much loved puppets including Arthur Lager. Since Steve's appearance in the final of Britain's Got Talent he has been in constant demand touring the country on a regular basis.
Steve will be supported by another BGT finalist soprano Faryl Smith who has released three successful albums, sung at Cup Finals, made numerous concert appearances and duetted with the world famous tenor Jose Carreras.
From this year's BGT final there is 14 year old Jasmine Elcock who possesses a beautiful singing voice and won over the judges and crowd with her wide smile - she was the golden buzzer act for Ant and Dec who showed enormous belief in her talent. She sang an amazing version of Birdy's Wings and received a standing ovation as she finished performing the track. David Walliams said it felt like he was listening to someone who was already a star, and Amanda Holden called the performance "amazing".

If you've been following the launch of ArcheAge even remotely closely you already know there have been many ups and downs. From long queue times initially, to DDoS attacks, land claim hacks, teleporting hacks, innocent bannings, Marketplace discounts that still aren't implemented…yeah we can stop there, it's been quite a ride.
Apparently the ride continues on! In an MMORPG (and most online gaming for that matter), hacking is (in most cases) a transgression worthy of a permaban. Yes, exceptions can of course be made based on severity and other factors, but usually the offenders get a one way ticket to the door.
Apparently that may not be the case in ArcheAge, or at least that's how some players perceived a response from Trion Worlds on the subject that was posted on the game's official forums. The thread has since been removed by Trion.
The initial post was in response to an instance of a player using a teleportation hack, being banned, and then being unbanned 24 hours later. Members of the Trion team stated that bans are of course investigated and while most bans stick, some are reversed based on situation. Another team member then added:
As Morgana said, we do investigate and the majority of bans do stand. Sometimes folks are still able to get away with some shady stuff, but our policy and procedure is improving every day in dealing with them. As we improve our detection and get better records, it'll be harder and harder for folks to get away with stuff like this.Locking this thread down as there is nothing more to be said on the subject.
Of course, this sent the forums into a frenzy accusing Trion Worlds of giving hackers a "second chance" and led to the original threads being pulled from the forums. Not content to simply let the topic disappear, multiple new forum posts have since sprung up (mostly to be closed rather quickly) including another post from Community Manager Scapes attempting to "clarify" their earlier posting:
Correcting posts made earlier this week, it is not our policy to apply an initial temporary ban for hacking. A permanent ban for hacking is our policy and we are reimplementing bans on relevant accounts, freezing the gains made from them.
Also, our Support Team is working to resolve appeals by legitimate accounts affected by our recent bans as rapidly as possible.
How this shakes out will be anyone's guess, but with multiple issues and instances of players having to run 3rd party applications to get the game to even run (I hate Hackshield), it's unlikely to get better for quite some time.

Game and company SUX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really wanted this game to be great. It had so many great concepts about 6 years ago when knowledge of the development came out in the US. I watched it for a long time, even played the RU version for a while. I played Trion's version since early beta into launch, but so many issues with the way it has been handled and so much of the world just feels void and empty, not to mention it is no where close to a Sandbox at all! This part of the game was so falsely advertised. As of about a week ago I have pretty much stopped playing the game. I doubt XL Games will be very fast to fix any issues, if at all. I leave this one to sit for now.
I've never seen a commercial release of a game go south so fast. Bots, hacks..jesus christ, soon it'll be on life support if Trion doesn't pull their head out of their ass.
Why anyone would trust Trion is beyond me. Don't be a sheep who follows the multitude, think for yourselves, if you evaluate this game you'll see its just an old ass game brought to the West to make money off the crowd who likes games like WoW and lure in others who get fooled by the "f2p" tag.
close this pice of sit down and use resources for rift
I agree. Rift is a far better game than ArcheAge. The two games are such polar opposites, you can easily tell which development team knows how to make a game and which doesn't.
Rift is underrated. It looks better, plays better, there's no gold seller spam, there's no hackers drop hacking the game or botters running around, there's no random bans being thrown out, the community is actually half decent and will talk to you/help you if you need something rather than ignore you. I'm not even a big MMORPG fan yet I found Rift to be a good game so that should tell you something.
@dilan Nah man, as of this post there are modders on about 10 or so of the servers. Dont have a precise number, but most of my chars on the servers have been screwed over by hackers.
Tonns of bots, scammers, global chat hard to read, neverending goldseller spam, in eu server faction ballance is like 10% vs 90% and pay to win for all this mess
this game is hanging on cause of the unique systems they got even tough they got
-repititive combat
-crappy graphics
-shitty community
-shitty developer (steparu even hated that developer)
-worst f2p model i have seen
if they dint had those unique systems that game wouldn't even survive 6 months
If you think their F2P model is bad, giving a majority of the game to F2P players with absolutely no pay2win garbage in the cash shop, well then kiddo I suggest you hit up a pay2play MMO because you CLEARLY aren't looking for a f2p MMO.
As far as F2P MMOs are concerned, AA is one of the best at the moment.
All servers are constantly quite full of people, and it will likely stay that way for the foreseeable future. As much as the vocal minority would like to think, this is currently one of the most popular and successful F2P games on the market at this point in time.
Yes it's so wonderful with its DDOS attacks, hacks and bot infestations the likes of which only get seen nowadays in nexon games. That's good. Good. Yeah.
Like I said before, the only people who are in defense of ArcheAge in the current state that it's in are either employees or probably gold sellers who want us to play the game so they can profit from us.
Or those of us who really don't give two craps about them and can actually ignore them, or have learned how the use the BLOCK and REPORT buttons. Just sayin'.
Wow thats sad that some people have to use third party to even gain access to ArcheAge, then again Hackshield is a flawed program that typically causes major problems within mmos most of the time it being access to the game, I still remember one game I downloaded that used hackshield yet I couldn't play the game because hackshield kept locking me out or crashing.
This game is just an all-around mess. It's 2014 and the graphics look like a 2005 game. I mean they got all that Founder pack money and still couldn't hire some decent artists to make the game look nice? It's a buggy mess with hackers running around and bans everywhere. It's been a long time since I've seen a game so poorly handled.
Oh I agree completely and alot of people do believe this game will only last a year if lucky, with how its current design stands.
you'd be surprised how may games last more than a year, it's a game that will get fixed down the road, the game has high server population and people working on the game. This game has a better chance than most games.
*Sigh* this is yet another post where the person thinks they know everything.
1. Archeage isn't a game they made, it's what they publish, so if they wanted a game with better graphics they would of published a different game.
2. there's games with better graphics than this they are still worse off, and if graphics concerned you wouldn't have even started playing this.
Apparently you consider a game better than this so go play it instead of wasting your time on an mmobomb post to complain about something you didn't say 100% correct.
tbh if I was Trion I woulda told a XLgames to either fix there crap, listen and do as Trion as says or we'll drop your title in the shitter where it belongs even Trion knows XLgames AA is total crap right now yet is to embarrassed to admit they picked up such a horrid title to host.
If by embarassed you mean laughing all the way to the bank with millinos of dollars siphoned from the likes of founders and patron purchases then yeah sure, embarassed and very very rich.
Idiot. Just because you make a bunch of money at the start doesn't mean you were a success. It just means you scammed a bunch of people. There are plenty of games who built up a bunch of hype and got people to invest money into it, and then released and eventually died because of how crappy the game was. Let's not forget Guild Wars 2 – made an insane amount of money, but now their playerbase is so low they had to do this giant server merge because some servers were a ghost town.
AA will suffer the same fate.
Guild Wars 2 isnt bad I acually enjoy it more than AA(archeage) I baught founders pack and was unimpressed with the total package. The gameplay is eally boring and is almost feels like you cant advance with out 20hrs a day gametime and ingame purchases (patron). farming sucks and takes hours or days like Phone games. The water/pirate is a twist but isnt new (just to mmo based landgame).. Asian based graphics do seem a bit dated clean with high graphic mode, but really seems old. The game is more hype and is GUILD based when comes to gameplay. I vite 6out10 stars . Currently i havent played since week 2 of launch.
1. I never said Trion developed the game. Whether they developed it or not, associating themselves with a game that looks like it was made in 2005 was probably not the best business decision. Even Runescape has better aesthetics, and that's a browser game.
2. Uh… please point out to me the games you're referring to. ArcheAge is not only one of the worst looking games out right now but it also plays like crap and it's being managed like crap. So please give me this list of games of yours that are in a worse position than ArcheAge is right now. And don't even dare bring up high server population when we already know most of them are hackers or botters.
You seem really angry over my comment. You wouldn't happen to be a Trion employee would you?
Judging a game by it's graphics is the first sign that you don't understand anything about MMORPGs. I'm not gonna discuss about graphics here mainly because of that reason. Having that said, I played the closed beta tests and got really disappointed about the game, played till level 5 or 10 and quitted. Last week I decided to give it a chance and redonwloaded it. I've being having a great time so far. I undestood the class system that allows to create kind of unique classes, the battle is classic and still really fun, I like the OverAchieve thing and the hidden quests too, I think it will even get more and more interesting. The problem is, MMORPG players adapt better to some games, but, you need to loose some time to know if you are into or out a game.
Why are you only focusing on my comments about the graphics? I also stated 3 or 4 more issues I had with the game. Stop trying to make me out to be someone who's only issue with ArcheAge is the graphics. That's merely ONE of the problems I have with the game.
I still play Pokemon Crystal on my Android phone from time to time. Those graphics look horrible compared to the Pokemon games nowadays, yet I still play Crystal. So no, I don't "only play games with good graphics." I've been playing online games since I was 11 – I think I understand MMORPGs, as well as every other genre of game by now. And if a game is released in 2014 that has N64 graphics, that's not exactly a plus for me unless the game intended to have a retro look. That's not the case here – ArcheAge has poor graphics because simply because the development team did a poor job apparently.
@dilan is trolling? out of curiosity tell me a title with "2014 good graphic" so we can make a comparison
Aside from ground textures, the game looks great.
Your shitty potato might not be able to handle what the game has to offer.
and no, just hitting "high" on all the options doesn't automatically mean any game will look good if your computer is indeed a potato.
Nah I don't think it has much to do with my PC, I think the art just plain sucks.
The issue isn't a development one. The issue is that you are expecting a MMORPG to have amazing visual fidelity when in reality MMORPGs are specifically designed to run on the lowets common denominator of PC (I"m looking at you Intel HD gpus).
Having models/textures/vfx that look dated is absolutely intentional and critical to a MMO in reaching the largest market they can (i.e. college kids with laptops)
Basically what you just implied is that any game developer who decides to have nice graphics in their game doesn't know what they're doing.
Also, if what you said is true, and ArcheAge intentionally made their game look dated, they still failed, because their system requirements still managed to be too high. You mentioned Intel HD GPUs, but I just read the minimum requirements and it says you'd need a Geforce 8000 with 512 MBs of ram. Those GPUs that come integrated in computers and laptops don't put out that kind of power ( unless you specifically purchase a gaming computer or laptop ) so there's still going to be a bunch of people who either won't be able to run this game, or will have to play it on the absolute lowest settings which will make it look worse than it already does.
Some of the newer intel HD gpus have performance similar to a geforce 8000 series with 512 mb ram (8800 series is the only one with 512 mb). Even the older intel HD gpus will run the game, they will just get crap framerates most likely.
This doesnt' mean it's good (it's not), it means that the game is designed to run on very low-end rigs. Just like basically every single other MMORPG. Corner are cut to achieve this.
Name me one MMORPG that has cutting edge nice graphics in their game. I"m not implying that devs that decide to put nice graphics in their game don't know they're doing. I"m implying that MMORPGs are specifically designed to run on teh lowest common denominator, other genres differ (sometimes greatly).
Basically what I"m saying is that like pretty much all min. system requirements they are very vague and can mislead people. Intel HD gpus will definitely run the game, some Intel HD's might greatly struggle to get a playable framerate though but some will definitely meet the standard of a geforce 8 series with 512.

The network added that the president asked, "Why do we want people from Haiti here?"
First, some context. Things had gotten testy in the Oval Office as negotiations over an immigration bill hit the rocks.
The second source familiar with the conversation, said Trump, who has vowed to clamp down on illegal immigration, also questioned the need for Haitians in the United States. According to White House aides, Trump appeared to be on-board with the bipartisan deal earlier this morning, but switched gears during the meeting. In 1989, he called for the five African American and Latino teenagers - the Central Park Five - to be executed for a crime they did not commit.
Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch, of Utah, said in response to the vulgar remark, "I look forward to getting a more detailed explanation regarding the President's comments".
Donald Trump's least presidential moments so far.
The quote was also reported by the Associated Press and the Washington Post who noted that Trump had met the Norwegian premier on Wednesday, possibly prompting his comment on the country.

Those anonymous second-hand sources claimed that the offending statement came amid a discussion over a proposal to eliminate the diversity visa lottery program and use the 50,000 visas per year tied up in it to offer protection to "vulnerable populations" living in the United States under Temporary Protected Status.
A White House spokesperson defended the comment, saying: "Certain Washington politicians choose to fight for foreign countries, but President Trump will always fight for the American people". "The White House went on to say Trump wants immigrants who can "contribute to our society, grow our economy and assimilate into our great nation".
One White House official stated that Sens.
The President at times suggested he would be looking to sign everything from a stand-alone fix for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program - set to expire in March - to comprehensive immigration reform, often appearing to being guided by lawmakers in the room to modify his positions.
President Trump called Haiti and Africa "shitholes" during an immigration meeting with lawmakers Thursday, according to a new report. In exchange, Durbin said people would be allowed to stay in the USA who fled here after disasters hit their homes in places including El Salvador, Guatemala and Haiti. "We can tiptoe around it, we can dance around it, and not really put our finger on it but the president seems to harbor racist feelings about people of color".
The six senators have been meeting for months to find a way to revive protections for young immigrants who arrived in the U.S.as children and are here illegally. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., and David Perdue, R-Ga., and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and Reps.

For a woman, her hair is something that is sacred and means a lot. After all, we have spent many years growing the locks, and nurturing them as if it was our own baby. When you think of new fashion trends, the very first thing thing that pops into the most people's minds is a refreshed wardrobe. However, you can achieve even greater results combining both, clothing and your hairstyle. A simple hair adjustment could drastically change your look, it can transform one's image from a boring housewife to a wild and sexy goddess. The opposite is also true and what you thought made you look like a queen or a princess five years ago, could appear quite different in today's fast paced world. As the saying goes, times do change.
If you think that updating your hairstyle is not important, look at some of the hair trends of the 60s or 70s and imagine rocking that look. It simply just does not work. If you don't want to be left behind, updating your hairstyle should be of the same importance as any other accessory or piece of clothing.
We have spent hours talking with some of the best stylists and doing our own research on hair trends that will be seen everywhere in 2018. It's our mission to provide you with the multiple options that will work with your own style and look. If you try one look that just doesn't sit on you well, go for another one and keep on experimenting. Imagine pulling a drastic new look that is perfectly complimented by new hoes, and an evening dress. If the image of you confidently walking down the street or a theater is something that you desire, there is no one stopping you from achieving any of that. Now that is a confidence booster, and it is all in your hair!
The best part? It does not matter how thick, thin, short or long your natural hair is. You can always count on AiryHair extensions, be it for highlights (if you don't want to dye your own hair), more volume or length. So, for women that don't feel confident refreshing their hairstyle because of the problematic hair, we got you covered too. Everyone deserves a healthy-looking hair!
Below, you will learn about the growing trend of blunt ends, bangs, find out what tones of blond are the most popular this season and how a simple hair accessory can push your look above and beyond what you thought was possible. Lastly, we have some great news for you this season. It looks like the majority of 2018 hair trends do not require a significant investment in time or money, so there is really no excuse not to transform yourself into a fashion diva that everyone looks up to.
One last word of advice: don't be afraid to experiment. If you think that the hairstyle below will simply look weird, try it out anyway, you will be surprised on how often the opposite is true.
Share upcoming hair trends on your website.

Designed by architects Jakob + MacFarlane (also behind Les Docks – Cité de la Mode) the glass-clad industrial chic rooftop restaurant sits on the sixth floor of the Centre Pompidou contemporary art museum. A popular hang-out that's part of restaurateur Thierry Costes' empire, Le Georges is one of few venues that boast such show-stopping views of the sun setting behind the quintessentially Parisian UNESCO-listed zinc rooftops sprinkled with terracotta chimneys. www.restaurantgeorgesparis.com
Les Ombres
Les Ombres
The rooftop restaurant nestles in the luxuriant gardens of the Quai Branly museum by the Seine. Designed by Jean Nouvel, it offers panoramic views of Paris that span from the Palais Chaillot to the Sacré Coeur, punctuated by the Eiffel Tower. The upmarket but laid-back spot is a well-kept secret among locals; it serves traditional French brasserie food with a world twist. www.lesombres-restaurant.com
Les Jardins du Pont Neuf
Les Jardins du Pont Neuf
A floating terrace on the River Seine, the Jardins du Pont Neuf is a below-the-radar spot for enjoying sunset drinks and 'chic picnic' finger food. Popular with a smart fashion in-crowd, Les Jardins is located right in the heart of Paris on the Ile de la Cité just steps away from Notre Dame. The muted retro-exotic décor allows for the quintessentially Parisian surroundings to take centre-stage, while the upbeat sounds keep things appropriately lively. www.lesjardinsdupontneuf.com
Café Marly
Café Marly
Set in prime location within the Louvre palace grounds, patrons can sit at one of the tables that run along the arched balcony to watch the daylight peter out behind architect I.M. Pei's glass pyramid while sipping on a glass of champagne or tucking into a steak tartare. While this might be one of the city's most exclusive spots, note that the fare remains a casual affair. www.cafe-marly.com
Le Perchoir Marais
Le Perchoir Marais
The bar that got the ball rolling when it comes to optimising Paris rooftops, Le Perchoir first opened in the under-the-radar 20th district before setting up three more outposts. Located on the BHV department store rooftop, it's here that the beautiful people of Paris like to mingle glass of rosé in hand while gazing out at the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral. Open Thursday to Saturday from 8.15pm until 2.00am. www.leperchoir.tv

Published: Jan, 2018
In the largely fragmented and intensively competitive vendor landscape of the global natural and manufactured sand market, companies are investing in research and development in crushing technology and modern grinder equipment with the view of obtaining high quality and well-graded sand products, observes Transparency Market Research in a recent report. Focus on geographical expansion as a way of addressing demand across regional markets with promising growth opportunities is also emerging as a promising growth strategy. Some of the leading players in the market are Adelaide Brighton Ltd, CDE, CEMEX S.A.B. de C.V., CRH Plc, Heidelberg Cement AG, Hutcheson Sand & Mixes, and Vulcan Materials Company.
The report states that the global natural and manufactured sand market is envisioned to exhibit a CAGR of 10.6% from 2017 to 2025, rising from a US$81.1 bn in 2016 to US$192.9 bn in 2025.
Vast Rise in Infrastructure Development Activities in Emerging Economies to Drive Growth
In terms of application, the global market for natural and manufactured sand earns a vast share in its revenue from usage across the infrastructure sector. The increased numbers of urban settings across emerging economies and steady rise in investment from government bodies towards the renovation and maintenance of old and outdated infrastructural elements across developed economies are expected to help retain the infrastructure sector its dominant spot over the forecast period as well.
Geographically, the market in Asia Pacific holds a clear command on the global natural and manufactured sand market and is likely to dominate the global market over the report's forecast period. The region accounted for about 54% in terms of volume, followed by North America and Europe in 2016. The thriving construction sector and the rapid rise in urban settings in the region, combined with the vast rise in disposable incomes and the consecutive rise in high-quality infrastructural elements, will continue to drive the market.
Thriving Construction Sector to Help Market Expand at Promising Pace
Sand, whether natural or manufactured, is one of the most common components used in most construction activities. As a result, the overall scope of development of the market for natural and manufactured sand is largely co-dependent on the growth dynamics of the construction industry. With the increased demand for modernization of residential and commercial infrastructure in urban areas in developed as well as developing economies across the globe, the market for natural and manufactured sand is also expected to register a healthy upward trajectory in the near future.
Rising disposable incomes of the world's middle class population are also working in favor of the global natural and manufactured sand market owing to the increased demand for offices, malls, residential complexes, and other infrastructural elements across the globe. High investments by regulatory bodies in this area are expected to emerge as a key driving force for the global natural and manufactured sand market. However, concerns regarding the decreasing resources of natural aggregates, ill effects on ground water system, and disturbances in ecological balance of environment triggered by extensive mining operation could hinder the growth prospects of the global natural and manufactured sand market.
This review of the global natural and manufactured sand market is based on a recent market research report by Transparency Market Research, titled "Natural and Manufactured Sand Market (Product Type - Natural Sand and Manufactured Sand; Application - Residential, Commercial, Industrial and Infrastructure) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2017–2025."
For the study, the global natural and manufactured sand market has been segmented as follows:

Typhoon No 1 standby signal issued as Hong Kong sees final day of sunshine ahead of tropical storm
Forecasters expect a week of heavy downpours and high winds as city sees first significant storm event of the year
Related topics
The Hong Kong Observatory issued the No 1 standby signal on Sunday night as Tropical Cyclone Merbok came within 510km of the city by 10pm.
It was forecast to move at about 20km/h across the northern part of the South China Sea and was scheduled to make landfall within 200km of Hong Kong between Monday night and Tuesday morning.
The Observatory said unless Merbok intensified markedly or takes on a more westerly track, it did not expect local winds to strengthen significantly on Monday morning.
The Observatory warned the public to take precautions against storm damage, such as clearing gutters and drains for obstructions and to check doors and windows.
Sea swells were expected and people should stay away from shorelines and engaging in water sports, it added.
The Marine Department said vessel owners and operators should properly secure their boats at safe locations.
The name of the tropical cyclone was coined by Malaysia and refers to a type of spotted-neck dove commonly found in rural areas of the country.
Ahead of the city's first typhoon signal of the year, many Hongkongers were on Sunday enjoying a final day of sunshine before an anticipated week of heavy downpours.
The sun continued to beat down on the city over the weekend as temperatures exceeded 30 degrees Celsius, reaching 34 degrees at Tai Mei Tuk in the New Territories, according to the Observatory.
Many locals and tourists rushed to enjoy Hong Kong's beaches, parks and tourist attractions to make the most of the good weather.
Instagram users shared photographs of perfect blue skies, stunning scenery and a picturesque Hong Kong skyline.

As it issued a hot weather warning, a spokesman for the Observatory said conditions were expected to remain "mainly fine apart from isolated showers" and would be "very hot during the day with light to moderate southeasterly winds".
First Hong Kong typhoon of the year set to arrive in coming days
He said they could become "unsettled gradually later on Monday, with some showers on Tuesday."
"Tropical Cyclone Merbok will make landfall over Guangdong between Monday night and Tuesday morning," he said.
"A trough of low pressure will linger over the south China coast in the middle and latter parts of this week. It will continue to bring showers and thunderstorms to the region."
On Sunday, the Observatory advised Honkongers to take precautions to prevent heat stroke, such as avoiding prolonged outdoor activities, wearing sun screen and drinking plenty of water.

The Labour Department simultaneously advised employers to protect their employees from heat stroke, including "providing cool drinking water, setting up temporary sunshade and providing mechanical aids to reduce physical exertion of employees."
In 2016, the first typhoon signal of the year was issued on May 26.

Hi everyone!
I am back to share what happened during the 8th batch of my Personal Basic Makeup Workshop held at LSG Studios in Panay Avenue, Quezon City! In this batch, I met five lovely ladies who all possessed unique beauties.
Everyone was served lunch before starting with the workshop. A meal is included as one of the freebies from the workshop as well as a complete 13-pc brush set from Beauty Cosmetics which all my students definitely loved!
As usual, we started by discussing the different makeup brushes, basic skincare, foundation and concealing, applying blush, contour and highlight, doing the brows, and creating a daytime makeup look and transforming it into a nighttime look! Scroll down to see the transformation of my clients (from sans makeup to a glamorous nighttime look)
Ghia was one of the most quiet and concentrated students I ever had! She did an amazing job blending her foundation and completing a beautiful nighttime look.
Christine looks radiant sans makeup to start with, and she looked extra gorgeous after finishing her looks!
Karen has an exotic beauty! We all knew how she already has a background in makeup application as she was skilled with blending and applying shadows!
Beverly did an amazing job filling in her brows and creating two looks that fit her skintone the best! Kudos, Bev!
It was great meeting Day again after over a year! I love how Day filled in her brows which really gave a beautiful frame to her face! She also showed great skills in blending eyeshadows! Day skipped the nighttime makeup look as she needed to head to an appointment shortly after the workshop. :) She looked lovely in her day time look, nonetheless!
Everyone was presented with a certificate of attendance after the class.
Here's a shot of our model for the day, Yhang! Doesn't she look pretty??? Those lashes really brought out the beauty of her eyes!
Batch 8 was really lucky, as Tessa, of Tessa's Cupcakes sponsored all the students with delicious cupcakes!
Hehehe, everyone couldn't wait to take a bite out of the cupcakes!
With the Luarca sisters—the beautiful women behind the brand. Thank you so much Tey, for sponsoring the cupcakes!
I am definitely a sucker for those red velvet ones!
Visit Tessa's Cupcakes here http://www.instagram.com/teyluarca

Tiffany-like Lamp Repair
A residential customer came to us with a damaged lamp cover containing curved pieces of glass, hoping that we could repair it. The piece was passed down to her from her father-in-law, so there was a large degree of sentimentality attached to it. The majority of the lamp cover was an amber wispy glass which was smooth on one side and heavily textured on the underside.
The glass was also very translucent, when the lamp was illuminated it gave off a beautiful golden glow which was accented by the texture on the interior. Fortunately, we had a perfect match for the glass in stock. A mold was made from one of the existing good pieces which was removed from the lamp cover.
New pieces were then cut to size and then slumped in the kiln over the mold. The resulting pieces were a good fit and once the repairs were made, it was nearly impossible to find the area of the lamp that had been so severely damaged. The customer was extremely pleased and wrote to thank us:
"Thank you for the extraordinary job… I wish there were more words than thank you to express my gratitude"

The effort of a 72-year old Grandmother of Moliniere, St. George's to illegally sneak in a quantity of marijuana for her Grandson at the Richmond Hill Prisons did not materialise.
An informed source told THE NEW TODAY Newspaper that as a result of the alertness of a Prison Officer, he was able to detect Roslie Ross who came to visit her Grandson, Troy Ross, a prison inmate, on April 30, attempting to deliver 410 grams of marijuana to him along with other items.
The source said that apart from the marijuana, the Grandmother also tried to pass on a cellular phone that is a prohibited item at the prisons to Ross.
The inmate was among three men who staged an early morning invasion at a house in Moliniere, St. George in December 2011.
Ross and his companions were charged by police with three counts of dangerous harm to Marlon Williams of La Borie, St. George's, Angela and Kevon Martin, residents of Moliniere, and robbery with violence.
Meanwhile, a resident of Waterloo, St. John's was also caught in the act of attempting to deliver a quantity of illegal drugs to another inmate at the prisons.
A well placed source told this newspaper that Enon Straker came to visit prison inmate Linford Ferguson when it was detected that he had in his possession 35 grams of marijuana among the items he brought for the prison inmate.

Here on the Meet the Maker series we hope to introduce you to the local artists and creators of the York Region. For episode 17, I want to invite you to meet Ashley from Stelly Handmade!
Tell us about yourself plus one interesting fact.
I am a stay at home mom running my shop. I used to work with kids before I started making clothes for them! I have always loved the minimalist look and of course Monochrome!
How would you describe your shop style.
What advice would you give new shops on Etsy?
Thank you! I really love the minimalist look when I buy clothing for my own children. So it inspired me to design my Own simple designs! I spend a lot of time with my nephew who's first words were "Uh oh" . It was cute and simple. My different French designs come from my son who attends French immersion and gave me the idea. Simple and modern. Some of my most loyal customers inspire me too!
What upcoming markets can our followers find you at?
Trail hike or lake swim?
