exactly. I know Amanda hates me for this, but ZOMG watch the typos... there were tons of em in that mount table you listed. For the love of all things right in this world, fix that damn chart.
And anybody that's really a "rookie" at this game does not want to see "Grinding" as the first word of a column addressed to them... Sure, sometimes you want to grind rep, but most times, *grinding* rep is something you do when you don't have anything else better to do. Rep doesn't really become a big part of the game until BC anyway, so as far as your column's title is concerned, rep is not really a big part of the game as you make it seem.

do most american world maps seriously have america in the centre?
Are you fucking kidding me.
In Chinese maps, Asia is in the center. Which nation is centralized depends on the map's origins.
In Canada, our maps are cut through the Pacific, so we don't offend anyone.
sometimes i feel like canadian stereotypes go too far and then this happens
Australian maps are upside down so Australia is above everyone else
you think this is a joke
are you fucking serious
Okay look. I'm in America and this is the kind of map I'm used to seeing. I don't know whats up with ya'll bitches.

Reasons why im a bad friend:
• i get too attached
• i will complain about all my problems to you
• i will snap at you by accident one day, causing you to hate me
• i need to be reassured
periodicallyCONSTANTLY that you dont think im annoying
• i am annoying
• im boring
• i dont know how to keep the conversation going
• i get emotional after midnight and will probably tell you something that could make you think differently of me

I really did it. I talked about it. Everything. My disordered eating. Fucking hell. I. Did. It. I will get help. I will get fucking exposed and I will probably hurt more than feel good the upcoming couple of weeks, but I did it and I kinda feel good about it. At the same time I'm scared as fuck.

Today Taliferro Music gets explosive with new music to chill to by Trestal called The Atomic Bomb.
As soon as the song starts you'll understand why this song was named The Atomic Bomb. The bass line establishes the foundation for the entire song and is quite the bomb.
A rain drop melody performed on electric piano is pervasive and softens the track. A bass change-up at the end offers a pleasant surprise.
Definitely downtempo, yet funky!

On weekends, he takes employees and others for a flight above Oahu
Mark Dunkerley pilots the Bellanca above upper Nuuanu Valley.
Photo: David Croxford
On weekends, Mark Dunkerley loves taking people for a spin around Oahu to see Diamond Head, Makapuu, the Pali and more. Appropriately, the CEO of Hawaiian Airlines conducts his sightseeing tours at 1,500 feet by flying the plane that launched the airline back in 1929.
Just as it was back then, the plane is painted red and called the Bellanca, after its Italian-American creator. Dunkerley says it caused a stir when the fledgling Inter-Island Airways used it to introduce flying to an initially reticent public in Hawaii. "It flies at 100 mph, an extraordinary speed for its time, especially compared to the car speeds back then," he says.
As the head of a growing airline, Dunkerley spends a lot of time traveling outside of Hawaii. "I'm only here about half the time, but every weekend I'm here, I take her up." The passengers are usually employees and their families, who sign up for the privilege of flying with the CEO or other volunteer pilots.
Dunkerley's enthusiasm for the Bellanca is contagious. He encourages you to run your hand along the smooth Dacron fabric that is stitched and stretched around the steel-and-wood frame of the airplane. (Yes, the plane is made largely of polyester, though the original fabric was Irish linen.) He talks about how hardy the plane is – "Built to take off and land on farmers' fields" – its many years of service flying passengers and cargo around Alaska after it left Hawaii, and the skill of the craftsmen who rebuilt it after a crash on a British Columbia lake.
Dunkerley learned to fly when he was 22 and attending graduate school in his native England. Back then, he competed in aerobatic contests and still loves to go for spins and rolls in the sky, though more sedately today. For those stunts, he takes up his Bücker 131 Jungmann, a German-built biplane he bought last year. "This plane, by repute, is the nicest-handling airplane ever built."
The Jungmann's open canopy recreates the experience felt by the early pilots, he says, with a big smile. "You're completely out in the open, in the breeze, really flying."

Step 250 Reviews
Step 25: Human
Step 25: Human
My luggage is packed, though it's not much, just some clothes to wear while I'm away. I put the suitcase in the chopper and take one last look at Edge from the roof of the new Shinra Headquarters. Tseng will be coming with me to train. I look at the Turks quietly, Elena is trying to look supportive, Rude nods as if to reassure me, Reno is late, but even Rufus is here. The president's stress seems to have gone away, his expression much more serene now; somehow, he's not angry at me anymore. I'm guessing the business with the secretary went well.
"I'm here!" Reno always makes his arrival known, unless it's a secret mission, but if it's not, he assumes the world wants to know when he gets there. "Oh good, I didn't miss you two leaving. Blaze wants to say goodbye," Reno holds up the little red chicobo, its blue eyes focused curiously on the helicopter. "Seph, you're he's godfather now, because you named him."
I stare at the tiny chicobo for a long moment, "I named him..." Reno called him Blaze, but I wasn't saying those things to suggest names. I suppose the name matches the chicobo's color.
"You really need to get your work done, don't play with your pet all day," despite saying this, Tseng gently pets the little chicobo. He kisses Elena then goes in the helicopter; everyone knows they're together so there's no need to hide it.
Feeling completely silly I raise my hand and very gently pet the little bird's head. "You don't have chicobo phobia, do you?" Reno curiously asks; the question is completely serious.
"Of course not," I just don't want to hurt the little guy. I suppose this is what it's like for something to be cute, no one can bear to hurt it and everyone adores it instantly. "Goodbye..."
"See ya later Seph, I'll send pictures if anything cool happens," which means that Reno will try to play pranks while I'm gone, though he might not get too far since everyone expects it from him.
"Have a nice trip!" Elena calls out as if we're heading out on vacation. Rude watches silent and unreadable.
Rufus smiles slightly, I don't know if the president is happy to be rid of me or convinced that this training will be a success and expecting the good news soon. It's probably the second because for a fleeting moment I see Lazard reflected in Rufus, his expression confident, knowing the mission will be accomplished.
xoxox xox xoxox
As the helicopter flies I find myself staring at the ruins of old Midgar as they become more distant. "You don't have to be so gloomy," Tseng breaks the silence, "this training isn't so hard and we can take breaks if need be, there's no time limit."
"It's more complicated than that," I admit. "I don't know who I am; I thought I was okay with that but apparently not. It was as if something was controlling me through my doubts."
"You're Sephiroth of the Turks, you're a human being with Jenova cells and mako, but a human being none the less," Tseng assures.
"Can you be sure?" I further inquired; I wish I could simply accept his words.
"Yes, we have been investigating, we know your past, your origin, you're not a monster, though you were modified while still in your mother's womb, you are still human, she was human," Tseng reveals.
I pale, my eyes losing their focus on the miniature ruins lost in the distant horizon. I stare at the distance, at nothing, then I close my eyes and time passes, I don't know how much time. "My mother," I whisper after a while, "was not called Jenova."
"That was not her name," Tseng admits. "Your past was unclear, but I understand it now, all the pieces. It's not easy though, we wanted to tell you later, you have the right to know, but you shouldn't stress about it now."
"I'm human," I repeat it as if to convince myself, "mother was not called Jenova; that was a lie, I was born of a human, I was experimented on, but I was originally a human..."
"You still are," Tseng emphasizes.
I want to know more, I want to hear the whole story, to know the truth, "tell me more."
"Tell me!"
"Sephiroth!" I stare at Tseng; my full attention on him, his voice went from relaxed to firm; then took on a friendly reassuring tone. "You will know, you won't be lied to, but I can't tell you now, I won't give you a false excuse. The truth is the situation was difficult and there's nothing that can be done about that past now."
I take in Tseng's words. I once went very far to get revenge in the name of the one I thought was my mother. For Jenova I wanted to take over the planet and use it as a vessel to travel the cosmos after crashing a meteor into it. A crazy plan indeed, a plan of vengeance, for my mother, for my rights, for what I thought was stolen from me. Perhaps Shinra did take something away from me, the old Shinra that is. Maybe I would seek revenge again, in my real mother's name this time, but that won't lead anywhere, just to more destruction, more mistakes, more things to make up for, more regrets.
"I understand," I may long to know, yet I might not be ready to know. "I want to hear the story one day, but for now, if you can be certain that I'm human and that who ever my mother was, she was also human; that's enough."
"I assure you," Tseng's relaxed tone returned, he seems both pleased and relieved to have been able to reason with me.
"What of my father? He was human too, right?"
My question brings an unconscious frown to Tseng's face and his features harden, "yes." He seems uncomfortable with the subject, perhaps bitter. "He was a human too," he almost sounds as if he has his doubts.
"Are you sure?" I further inquire.
"I'm certain that both your parents were of the humans species, their biology was originally no different from that of a normal human," Tseng seems very uncomfortable with the subject now; he wants to end this conversation, that much is clear.
I want to ask more questions but I don't want to complicate things, just knowing I'm not a monster is enough, "is a human who has been modified truly still human?"
"Biology isn't important, it is rational thought that counts, hold on to that," Tseng replied.
Rational thought, I wonder if I can hold on to it, "I'll try." I see Cosmo Canyon in the horizon, or at least I think that's it, "Cosmo Canyon?"
Tseng seems pleased with the change in subject, "yes, we'll be there for a while, to relax, meditate and get away from everything."
"How did we get here so fast?"
"We've been flying all day, we even stopped to refuel; the sun is setting now, see? You fell asleep, remember?" Tseng spoke slowly, as if not to startle me with the information that I should have been able to gather on my own.
When I felt time pass, I didn't realize it was this much, when I closed my eyes, I didn't notice that I fell asleep. When I woke up, without realizing I was waking up, I asked about my mother as if only seconds have passed, continuing the same conversation from before. "Right," I yawn, just for show, as if to convince Tseng I'm disoriented because I'm drowsy not insane. I don't think it worked, "that was a good nap," I'm such a bad liar. I've never really been drowsy unless it's chemically induced, as for insane...
To be Continued
Disclaimer, I don't own Final Fantasy VII. Credits go to Cherri, who role plays Sephiroth in the Shinra Database RPG. The scene in the beginning with Blaze was loosely based on the RP, which is also where the name Blaze is from. For those wondering about the yakuza plot, don't worry, I haven't forgotten about it, it's a plot point that will continue developing later, I just don't want to throw out the whole plot all at once. There should be something to keep Sephy, and you, guessing.

Tom Daly and Louis Tully of Chad Dukes Wrestling Show had a chance to
catch up with Hacksaw Jim Duggan at Big Time Wrestling's event at the
Montgomery County Agricultural Fair in Gaithersburg, MD on August
On which top young WWE Stars he thinks have the "It Factor", Duggan
had praise for two in particular and second/third generation athletes
in general:
"I think everybody likes Dolph Ziggler, you know I seen him back in
the Spirit Squad days. You see that kid, he's got the blonde hair and
a lot of white teeth, good body, good-looking young guy. He's the kind
of guy, a marquee player that WWE looks for, like John Cena, Hulk
Hogan, somebody of that nature. I think Ziggler fits that bill. Kind
of an unknown hero is McGuillicutty (Curtis Axel). I think Curt's boy,
third generation wrestler, he's got a lot to show."
"I think guys that grow up in the business are just a little more
polished than guys like myself who came into wrestling blind. I had no
idea what to expect. I think, like Jake the Snake Roberts, Ted
Dibiase, your second generation wrestlers, we see even more in Cody
Rhodes and Ted Junior, that they grew up in the business and have a
better understanding of the show."
On the upcoming Mid-South DVD & Territory days:
"Mid-South was a great wrestling territory, as you know many of the
WWF stars came out of Mid-South. It was a great training area, not
only did you learn how to do your work in the ring, but you learned
how to do your interviews."
"A lot more guys were making a living wrestling and it was a great
time in the business. Of course, the WWE, WWF days was better for a
few unique guys but for overall wrestlers, it was good in the
territory days."

Ericom and Maxwell Unified Networks Drive Blazing Fast Access to Cloud-Based Windows Applications including Livery Coach Transportation Software Maxwell Unified Networks selects Ericom Blaze to improve user productivity and accelerate RDP-based remote application access
CLOSTER, N.J., Feb. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Ericom Software, a leading global provider of application access, virtualization and RDP acceleration solutions, announced today that Maxwell Unified Networks has chosen Ericom Blaze to deliver accelerated RDP based access to cloud-hosted Windows applications. Ericom Blaze addresses usability and deployment challenges by enhancing remote desktop display performance by up to 10 times over slow network connections and WANs.
Maxwell Unified Networks is a facilities-based VoIP and unified communications provider for the passenger ground transportation industry, and is using Ericom Blaze to accelerate access to Livery Coach Transportation Software, as well as other Windows applications.
Derek Maxwell, President at Maxwell Unified Networks, explained: "Our customers are typically based in peripheral areas, and have a very limited bandwidth with which to access hosted services. We wanted to provide these businesses with a faster, more productive user experience." Added Maxwell, "It took only 15 minutes to download and deploy Ericom Blaze in a test environment and a few minutes more to install the client software on several workstations. Users were simply amazed with the difference in speed."
Ericom Blaze also optimized their web browsing experience – graphics-heavy web pages and other rich content began loading noticeably faster. Users also reported a significant improvement in the performance of web-based applications when using Ericom Blaze to run these applications on the terminal server instead of on their local device.
Ilan Paretsky, Vice President of Marketing at Ericom commented, "We are pleased that Maxwell Unified Networks has chosen Ericom Blaze as their solution for accelerating their RDP based infrastructure." Paretsky added, "Ericom Blaze is an ideal solution to address RDP display performance issues and improve the experience of users accessing applications and graphics heavy content over slow, low bandwidth and high latency connections."

Silver Falls State Park
Oregon's largest state park, Silver Falls, 26 miles east of Salem on Hwy 214, is an easy day trip from Portland, Salem and Eugene. It offers camping, swimming, picnicking and bicycle and horseback riding.
Oregon's largest state park, Silver Falls, 26 miles east of Salem on Hwy 214, is an easy day trip from Portland, Salem and Eugene. It offers camping, swimming, picnicking and bicycle and horseback riding.
A mile east of McMinnville, this museum showcases Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose, the world's largest wood-framed airplane. In 1947, with Hughes at the wheel, the airplane flew for just under a mile – and never took off again. Plenty of other aircraft are on display, including propeller planes, small jets, fighters, biplanes and helicopters.
A must on a hot summer day, this impressive indoor water park is next to the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum and quite unmissable – a retired Boeing 747 lies atop the building. Inside are 10 water slides (including four that come out of the 747), a wave pool, splashing play structure, leisure pool and bubbly toddler area. Plenty of lifeguards keep everyone safe.
Truly excellent breakfast spot with gourmet treats like creamed chicken and biscuits with eggs, or grilled ham and cheddar sandwich with caramelized onions (the menu changes seasonally). If available, try the blood orange mimosa and cinnamon roll. Gourmet sandwiches for lunch. Expect a long wait on weekends.
Accomplished chefs Allen Routt and Jessica Bagley use their wide travel and culinary experiences at this renowned restaurant in a renovated 1890s Victorian house. The multicourse menus include an appetizer, main dish and dessert (vegetarian choices available), with the option for a wine pairing.
This European eatery is one of McMinnville's best restaurants, serving up exceptional French dishes like duck confit cassoulet and cote de boeuf . Try the ground-to-order, dry-aged sirloin hamburger for lunch (mains $12 to $15). The lovely garden patio is mandatory on warm summer nights.
This deli-market offers great atmosphere, with its wines and gourmet food products surrounding diners in the main room. Head to the back patio to enjoy your toasted, open-faced 'craft' sandwich, made from fancy charcuterie. A few salads and wood-fired pizzas are also available.
One of Eugene's most beloved restaurants and certainly its favorite Italian food. Homemade pastas are the real deal here, and the desserts are excellent. Reservations only for groups of eight or more; otherwise, expect a wait.
The state's first capitol building burned down in 1855, and a domed classic-Roman edifice was built to replace it. Unfortunately, that building also burned down (in 1935), and the current capitol building was completed in 1938. Bauhaus and art-deco influences are apparent, especially in the strident bas-relief in the front statuary and the hatbox-like cupola.
One of Oregon's leading citizens of the late 19th century was Asahel Bush, a newspaperman and a highly successful banker who began building his rambling Italianate residence in 1877.
The little town of Mount Angel, with its Bavarian-style storefronts and lovely abbey, is like an old-world holdover in the Oregon countryside. Visit in mid to late September, during Oktoberfest , for maximum effect; thousands show up for the music, beer and dances.
At 4097ft, Marys Peak, in the Siuslaw National Forest , is the highest peak in the Coast Range. Several hikes are strewn around the summit, and on a clear day there are views across the valley from the Pacific Ocean to the glacier-strewn Central Oregon Cascades To reach the summit, drive on Hwy 20 – past the nearby town of Philomath – and then take Hwy 34 for 8.5 miles.

What makes you think the whole world's gone insane?
I know the typical stuff: violence, abuse, etc. But what about the subtle stuff?
Very late last night I saw a drink ad on TV for Gatorade. The primary plug was that...and I still can't believe this is real somehow...
"...get all six collectible bottles now!".
They have pics of Michael Jordan on the label I think.
Um, aren't those bottles just clear plastic once the colored liquid's been drunk?
Plastic bottles...collectible? I mean, they're great for building play-bombs or knocking around with a bat or stomping on but...collectible plastic Gatorade bottles?
I'm sorry, but I'm really, really, really x 100 missing something.
And I'm not sure I want to find it. I'm even more scared for the folks who will run out and do as they're told. ( cue Twilight Zone music...)
Really? Wow.

The Balassa-Samuelson effect in central Europe: a disaggregated analysis
AbstractThis paper aims to explain differences in inflation between six central European economies - Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia - and the euro area in terms of differences in productivity growth between tradable and non-tradable sectors. The coverage of tradable and non-tradable sectors is broader and more detailed than in previous studies and the data samples are larger, as quarterly data for up to 10 years are used. The main conclusion is that productivity differentials explain on average only between 0.2 and 2.0 percentage points of annual inflation differentials vis-à-vis the euro area. Productivity differentials also explain only a small proportion of domestic inflation in central European economies. Earlier studies that estimated the Balassa-Samuelson effect to be larger have often neglected to consider the impact of productivity differentials on inflation relative to the euro area, focusing instead only on their impact on domestic inflation. Many studies have also neglected the relatively high productivity growth in non-tradable industries. The estimates in this paper suggest that differences in productivity growth between EU accession countries and the euro area are unlikely to widen sufficiently to become a determining factor in the ability of these countries to satisfy the Maastricht inflation criterion.

Very nice for the price! Size ran a bit big .......
I bought this ring for my daughter that is 20 and she loves it! She never takes it off. It's very dainty, but just enough sparkle. I highly recommend this ring.
It's a nice ring, and it looks like the image except that the cross is sideways. I was very disappointed when I received it because I had been looking specifically for an upright cross, which is surprisingly hard to find. I sent it back, paid for the return shipping, but didn't mind too much. Now I have the replacement and it is again sideways. Frustrated that I have to send it back again, but I like the ring. It's simple, but elegant and looks very dainty. It's the perfect ring for people who don't like heavy jewelry, at a decent price.
