It's not a universe thing, but an execution thing. There are many components to a successful MMO, many reasons that WoW is so playable. I think the most important one is depth. WoW just has a lot of material in it. There are quests and sub-plots for every region in the game. WoW takes the aggravation out of playing by offering easy transport options. From the starting experience all the way up, there is always a clear, well-defined path of things to do. Every region has quest links at the upper end to higher level, more challenging regions, so you never ever ever have to wonder where you should go next.
WoW isn't perfect, and it needs a lot of work. It's simply the best out there because Blizzard had the resources to throw into creating plot and theme that didn't just cover the starting areas, but more or less pervaded the entire game. Any game can make the first few levels great. But Blizzard was able to make every area, and every level bracket, a fun and distinct experience to play.
Add to that a distinctive hand-crafted theme for every separate region, and clear delineations between regions, and you have a tapestry that simply holds your interest as you move from Ellwood to Westfall, to Darkshire, to Lakeshire and beyond, for one example. You never ever feel like you're on and endless treadmill of boredom. When you're in Westfall, you're facing Westfall enemies and situations. When you transition to Darkshire, you're facing an entirely different environment, with entirely different enemy monsters and themes.
This is how you hold the player's interest.

Investment Environment
The Czech Republic realizes that enterprise is one of the sources of creating the values and wealth of a society. Therefore it works systematically to create and improve a proper, simple, transparent and non-discriminatory business environment, including the environment for foreign investment, which has become an inseparable and essential part of the global economy.
Protection of Foreign Investment
Promotion of foreign investment is reflected in legal rules concerning investment incentives which are based on European legislation and which allow support for specified types of investment e.g. by Income Tax credit, transfer of technically equipped territory and land at lower prices, and material support for job creation and employee re-training.
Because the Czech Republic allows foreign investors to make indirect investments, i.e. by means of capital interest in Czech corporations, as well as direct investments through their own companies or organisational components, the proper protection has to be ensured for the investment of foreign entities.
It is natural that, besides creating favourable conditions, the Czech Republic also ensures the fair, equal and just treatment of foreign investors, grants them full legal security and protects them against interference and restriction of their ownership. These valid and enforceable obligations of the Czech Republic towards foreign investors follow mainly from bilateral agreements for the protection and promotion of investment that the Czech Republic has concluded with almost 80 countries.
The Czech Republic's entry into the European Union has greatly improved the enforceability of the rights and claims of foreign investors because European legislation has become directly applicable on Czech territory and binding for State bodies as well as private entities. The Czech legal environment has thus become accessible, but primarily has been aligned with the legal environment of the other EU Member States. Investors can rely on harmonised legal institutes and the identical legal rules they had known before only from their home countries or other Member States.
The legal regulations of investment protection and promotion in the form of international agreements are thus currently complemented with harmonised legal regulations concerning debt recovery, harmonised rules for determining jurisdiction, simplified procedures for official documents' delivery and evidence proceedings and harmonised rules of European bankruptcy proceedings. This legal "dualism" of international and European law is combined with a quickly Europeanising Czech legislation.
Debt recovery within the single market
Without exaggerating, it can be stated that cross-border debt collection within the framework of European Union Member States has never been simpler in the past than it is today. The free movement of persons, goods, services and capital has been complemented with the free movement of court decisions and official documents. Direct communication between judiciaries, the possibility to make submissions and submit applications and documents in several European languages and, primarily, the simplification of the legal rules of debt recovery and enforcement of rights has brought European national judicatures closer to creditors – investors.
The Czech Republic has thus joined countries that have removed borders years ago in the area of the "transferability" of rulings made by their own judicial bodies. Henceforth, the Czech Republic treats rulings made by Courts e.g. in Italy, France, Germany and other EU Member States as its own, and the same applies in the opposite direction, a Czech ruling is equal to any decision issued by a Court of another Member State.
The fact that a decision issued in a Member State can now be recognised and implemented in other Member States without the need of holding further lengthy proceedings, as well as the fact that bankruptcy proceedings overreaching into several Member States are subject to identical rules, not only significantly facilitates creditors' orientation in the otherwise often dense jungle of legal regulations, but in practice also enables legal specialists to exercise their profession regardless of State borders.
Last but not least, the aforementioned harmonisation helps to encourage cross-border business activities and thus eventually to create a single European area. The Czech Republic, as a Member of the European Union, is actively involved in this process, is part of it, and continues to be one of its creators.

Hypothetical scenario: 1,216 separate Money/Currency firms ( all private, non-State owned and operated ) in the united States of America alone ( uSA = the several States composing the United States of America, which are NOT united on the principle of unlimited submission to their General Government ) with FOUR SEPARATE COMPANIES COMPETING IN EACH REGION OF ONE MILLION POPULATION. The same situation for 303 other regions ( 2008 population estimate = 304,000,000 ). That does NOT mean only four companies for all of the uSA, but it DOES mean 1,216 separate companies with 1,216 separate CEO's ( Money Meisters ) and 1,216 separate currencies for all of the united States of America.

Interesting read
I have always become perplexed at the idea that money should be produced and spent by government instead of a private central bank , because I could see that this could easily be abused by the people in government.

Love your enthusiasm - but losing 20 lbs/month isn't good for your health!
What if you LOOK 170? Lose twenty pounds in two month and get FIT as a FIDDLE!
THAT would be fabulous and you'd look even better!

I gotta jump in here, too.
40lbs in two months is not a healthy/realistic goal. Not if you want to keep any weight off, anyway.
I dropped 3lbs a week at my fastest clip...even with that rate, you'd only be down 24lbs in two months.

Hi! I'm new here too and would LOVE to lose 40 in 2 months in a perfect world, but I already know I can't do it that fast. My goal for now is 30 in 4 months and even then, that might be hard for me to do. Can you set several smaller goals? 10 pounds per 2 months sounds realistic to me. But I'm no fitness guru!

Great enthusiasm but there are just about no legitimate ways to accomplish such a rapid weight loss. First off, natural weight loss isn't consistent, that is to say, you don't consistently lose 4 lbs each week, or 2 lbs each week, but rather it's something like 4 lbs this week, 2 lbs lost next week, 1.5 lbs gained the week after that, 3 lbs lost the next week, it fluctuates, but aside from seriously hurting yourself with illicit illegal substances that raise your heart rate, temperature, cause palpitations and increase your risk of heart attacks by 300-500% it's just not possible.
The hollywood stars that do those kinds of things do take such drugs, and even then they usually have 5 or 6 months prep time and a "professional" guiding them through the process to ensure they don't overdose and end up dead... and y'know some of them still do end up dead at 30, mysteriously, and people say, well they had wild lifestyles they must've OD'd on some recreational drug, but my money's on the stuff they're taking to keep their slim & trim physique all hot and sexy.
Atkins, herbal clenses, juice fad diets, etc all give you an initial confidence boost as they trigger rapid weightloss of 8-10 lbs in your first couple weeks, but that's it, if you're lucky the weightloss stalls after that, if you're like most people the weight actually comes back a bit after that point and they you need to wait a month or so to see even another pound or two loss.
Make it 40 lbs in 4 months and even then don't get too fixed on the numbers, getting fit can be a really discouraging process if you set unrealistic goals.

40 pounds is a lot in two months, but I guess it depends on how much you have to lose. I am at 34 pounds lost and I started a little over two months ago (mid-late January). If, like me, you've got a lot to lose (I started out needing to shed 48 just to be in my healthy range), you can get darn close!
My best advice is variety! Variety in everything! From working out to food. Switch up your workout plans every day or you'll get sick of one. Same with the food. Fill your house with only healthy stuff, but a LOT of DIFFERENT healthy stuff. In invested in a lot of nut/granola snack foods, lots of veggies and hummus, chicken that I cook and put on salads....
Also, a good low calorie cookbook or Web site (my favorite is eatingwell.com) can get you some good recipes that are low fat so you don't feel like you're dieting, which makes you less likely to cheat.
Measure everything! Don't just say "This looks like 1/4 of a cup." Grab that measuring cup and make sure. Tiny overages add up!
Don't be afraid to take a break. I've lost weight overnight (or so it seemed) on days when I didn't work out. Your body and your muscles need to relax every now and then, don't feel bad about giving them that opportunity.
Plan ahead. Before eating something that you think isn't that bad, look it up and check. I've been completely floored by the calorie counts on some items I thought were okay.
Track everything and don't cheat.
Good luck!

You wont do it, will get discouraged and a year from now will weigh the same or more as you do now.
Or you could shoot for a pound a week and a year from now be 52 pounds lighter.

okay- i have lost .5 lb shy of a full 100 lbs in 7 mos, but i had alot more to lose than where you are. and i was on 1000 calories a day (per doctor's instructions) & not eating back exercise calories. now that i am getting under 200 lbs my daily intake will be back up to 1200. and i expect my weight loss to slow.
mfp is designed to help us learn healthy patterns for eating & exercise forever. quick weight loss is generally not sustainable. And frankly those of us who have been really, really overweight, never want to face these kinds of numbers again. i am not going to mind the upcoming slower loss that will allow me more time to learn to live eating healthy everyday, every holiday, forever. -katie

don't we all?
sorry, but in two months I'd say the best you should shoot for is 16 (2 lbs a week).
dropping that much weight in that short of time will cause you to be unhealthy, and you'll have more of a chance of gaining it all back.
Do your best, and with exercise and strength training you can look like your goal!!

what advice do you need when you follow up that question with ............ ex athlete, so I know how to train.....I would then think that you would be aware that too rapid weightloss is neither healthy, or typically long term achievable......

Exactly what my trainer has me doing!! I would say work on toning and as an ex-athelete you should have no issues (since your muscle form is still there -somewhere) and you can L@@k like you lost 40 lbs....

So many naysayers!!! Listen, a LOT of people get brainwashed with this idea that losing more than 1-2 lbs a week is unhealthy, but I say it's a bunch of malarkey! It may be true for thinner people but for anyone who is severely overweight/obese, it's totally possible to lose more than that, be healthy, and have it STAY OFF. Do not ever listen to anyone who tells you otherwise. The same goes for low carb diets, crash diets, extremely low calorie diets, etc. I'm not saying those diets are healthy long-term lifestyles, but for someone who just needs to get a big jump start, they do work to shed initial pounds and get you motivated to continue healthy habits. I have done it myself, so let me give you my tips. For quick weight loss, cut out carbs, and drink a lot of water. Eat a lot of vegetables, but make sure you realize that veggies have a lot of carbs too. If you're eating corn, peas and potatoes and thinking "this is all healthy, why am I not losing weight?" that's why. You should be eating leafy greens, or any green vegetables (not peas), no fruit (I still ate grapefruit) no juices... just water and unsweetened tea and black coffee to drink... lean meats and fish... very little salt, no sweets, etc. It's not easy! You should also work out TWICE a day - morning and afternoon - do a lot of cardio. I run and hike - elliptical is also good. I want to add swimming, but I think people have a tendency to goof around when they swim and not swim as hard as is necessary for a good workout. I also suggest doing workout tapes like Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, as well as yoga (Sara Ivanhoe is my fav). and if you can work it in, climb as many stairs as possible!! If you have a courthouse or apartment building or office building with a lot of stairs nearby, make it a point to go up and down the stairs about 5 times a day. You will feel the burn. Get 8 hours of sleep per night at least. Meditate, pray, find some time during the day to be alone and get in touch with your spiritual side - whatever it is - even if you're not religious, try just communing with nature. You will find that these little moments of peace work wonders to rejuvenate you and keep you going. Take bubble baths, laugh, have fun. Stress causes your body to hold onto fat, so loosen up! And here's a tip that you might think is super corny, but it really really works - we've all heard of visualization but I'm not sure how many people do it right. Imagine yourself having already achieved your goal. Picture yourself thin and smiling and say to yourself "I am thin, I have an extremely fast metabolism, whatever I eat my body burns off with ease, I am in excellent shape" - really convince yourself of this when you say it, feel the feelings you'd feel were this true. Never say "I will be" - always "I am." I do it all the time and fat just melts off me. After I had my baby I had gained 90 lbs (from being bedridden for 9 months and eating like crap) - I had trouble losing weight too, and when I started visualizing (because my body was so out of shape and my back so screwed up from pregnancy that I could hardly walk) not only did my pain go away but the lbs started melting off! and now I have lost 59 lbs with virtually no effort and the weight is still coming off. The eating tips and exercise are things I used the last time I lost a bunch of weight (and no, I don't constantly fluctuate - I only gained back my original weight loss because of pregnancy) - and I will put those into action when I start to plateau. Of course, I'm also in no real hurry like you are or I'd be doing them already! Ok, so good luck! and remember, don't listen to the negative nancys! You can do it, and even if you don't get totally to your goal, at least you got farther than you were!

your sedentary BMR is about 2140. that's the number of calories you burn just by existing and doing everyday things. this doesn't include calorie burn from exercise.
if you dropped to a food intake of 1200 calories, then you're running a deficit of 940 calories per day. over 60 days, that's 56400 calories or 16 lbs.
so you'd have to burn an extra 24 lbs by exercise alone to meet your goal. that's 1400 calories burned EVERY day. for you, that's equivalent to doing a 9 mile run EVERY day for 2 months.
keep in mind, at 1200 calories, you're likely to be hungry every day as well. mentally this may well be a hard food intake to sustain and it's not likely to keep you feeling energetic enough to do the exercise you'd have to do.
so the short answer is that it's possible, but it would be really hard to do. at your weight and size, losing 40 lbs in 2 months is basically an unrealistic goal. the good news is that you can lose the 40 lbs more comfortably by spreading the weight loss over a longer period of time.
for example, if you went with a calorie reduction of only 500 per day (i.e., eating1640 calories per day) you won't be depriving yourself and you'll have the energy to do the workouts you'll need to do.
over 4 months (for example), you'll drop 17 lbs due to your restricted intake and only have to make up 23 lbs with exercise. 700 calories burned by cardiovascular exercise every day would be enough, and is alot easier to accomplish than 1400 per day.
during this time, you can also add strength training to tone up your muscles so that when the weight is lost, you'll look that much better.
note - the calculations above are approximate. i didn't factor into them your lost weight as you were losing, but these rough numbers are close enough that you can make a plan based on them. also, just throwing out a number like 1200 here will draw alot of negative responses. some people see 1200 and automatically think... anorexia. it's not. if you had the willpower, you could do a 1200 a day diet for 2 months and not suffer any long term ill effects so long as you made sure you got the right amount of vitamins, minerals, protein, fat, carbs, etc. i wouldn't suggest living on 1200 a day forever because of your size (at your goal weight of 170 lbs, your sedentary BMR for maintenance will be 1900), but it's possible to do it for a period of time if you have the willpower and determination.

While it is totally possible to lose so much so quickly, I would not recommend anyone to do so.
Rapid weight loss is very stressful for body, you will not lose it from fat, such a rapid loss means the body will consume muscle for energy as well, which means instead of looking healthy and perky, you will most likely end up looking "skinnyfat".
Also your skin that has expanded with weight gain, needs time to shrink, too fast weight loss will result in stretchmarks and/or flabby skin.
Also unless you are under supervision of professionals, training 2-3 times a day (like youreaweenie recommended) can easily lead to injury and that means you won't be able to exercise for extended period of time until recovered.
Depending on muscle group, muscles need 24-48 hours of rest to repair and recover. Working out as intensively as she describes requires a lot of micromanagement and very smart approach to your exercises. The only exercise she describes in her post is "cardio, run and hike and elliptical" which means mostly leg work with little to no rest.
I appreciate your enthusiasm, it's your body of course and feel free to do with it whatever you want. But in my honest opinion, your goal is silly. Why rush? Why this short term goal? What will you achieve with 40 lbs less in 2 months that you will not achieve with 40 lbs less in let's say 6 or 8 months? Why chase some stupid number on scale instead of approaching it smart and healthy way?

This can not be any more true!
OP, what you want is fat loss, not weight loss. Most people don't want to lose muscle, which comes from rapid weight loss or under feeding. Muscle is what makes your body tight and lean. So why don't you feed your body properly, eat a moderate deficit (20% below TDEE) and do a combination of weight training, cardio (preferablly HIIT) and rest. You will cut inches faster than weight loss but at least you will maintain your metabolism, reduce the chances of stretch marks and have a body that supports itself and less prone to injury.

Hi CJ - I am a former athlete too and have been at this for almost 3 months... I had been pretty half hearted since having to quite the sport with injury around 13 years ago... and decided that I would make the most of what time I have before my poor knees have to literally be replaced (they won't do it while there is a chance I would wear them down requiring another op)...
I used to try and lose 2lb a week any time I ventured back to the gym... and invariably gave up (work, life etc).
Then I started logging what I ate, changing how I ate, but not WHAT I ate along with focussing on a rehab program set by my physio, and I set my goals at 1lb a week...
Half a stone lost so far, and pretty much every week has been a small loss or a Stay-the-same...
It's not for me to tell you what is healthy (although in my old ways compared to your target - I would have been aiming for half that in 2 months..)
Protein at the start of the day, soups for lunch and then a proper dinner means I have eaten pretty much as well as I have wanted, and gradually been able to do more and more in the gym (although joints hurt like hell... but they're holding out...god bless 'em!)...
Either way - best of luck on your journey.

Well even if it's from 1965 it still does not change the fact that losing 40 lbs in 2 months is unhealthy. And I guess that if she actually went on with 20 lbs per month pace, then she should be vanished into thin air by now. :D

Hola everyone, I know you all r saying that it is impossible to loose 40 pounds in 2 months, but it isn't. My name is Skylar (Sky) and I am 14. I used to weigh 160 pounds but in just a month I lost just shy of 40 pounds. I know that isn't good and EXTREMELY bad for my health but I felt so fat and ugly. So for a whole month I barley ate anything and exercised 3 hours a day. My parents always feed my brother and I bad food and I would always tell them to stop and it was unhealthy. But they never did so I solved the problem the only way I knew how by not eating and exercising as much as possible. But that was even worse than eating unhealthy, my doctor thought something was wrong with me (anorexic). But I'm not anorexic just judgmental of my self. So now I'm eating correctly (fruits and vegetables) I'm on a 1,200 calorie "diet" and I exercise an hour a day. But the rest of my family is still overweight and unhealthy (except my Dad). So yes u can loose 40 pounds in 2 months, is it healthy NO. Do this the right way not my way.
Weight in August 2013: 160 pounds
Weight in October 2013: 119.8 pounds
TIPS FOR A HEALTHY LIFE (just incase, although u probably don't care):
Exercise: try to burn 600-800 calories in a day
Good exercise include: swimming(600calories/hr), dancing(200-300calories/hr),running(600calories/hr)aerobics(800calories/hr) and lifting(600-800calories/hr), all these will help tighten your core and help "tone" your legs, my favorite workout is swimming (laps).
FOOD: try for 1000 calories if 200lb or more and 1200-1500 for 199lb and less
Size: eat small per portions (like REALLY small) and eat 5 times a day
Protein: stick to chicken (grilled), fish and turkey
Fruits: bananas, apples, oranges, strawberry are my favorites (farmers markets have the best fruit)
Vegetables: broccoli, green beans, celery (the best) and more are really good but stay away from things that are packaged and go for fresh. And try not to add salt or butter but if it is the only way you can digest it than go ahead (but don't go overboard)
Sweets: many people say NO SWEETS!!! but come on that's unrealistic, just eat in minority, like instead of eating the whole chocolate bar just eat a piece or two.
Drinks: Stay away from juices they do nothing for you. Go for tea, milk (soy milk possibly) and LOTS of water
Hope I helped some one- and P.S./ don't expect immediate results but you can definitely loose up to 5 maybe even 10 pounds a month if you work hard and stay motivated.
- love a weird, nerdy, awkward 14 year old girl
you starved yourself but are giving healthy eating tips? I hope you are really following those tips yourself now.

Losing 5 pounds per week is an extremely ambitious goal. It will require your total dedication, six hours or more of fitness exercises daily and about a 1200 calorie per day rigidly controlled diet -- all portions weighed on a scale and calories calculated, not guessed at.

Ahhhh…Few things feel better than slipping on that perfect pair of jeans that make you look and feel comfortable, confident and chic. That perfect pair can be elusive, but the following style secrets will help you easily find your favorite denim for day and night.
TAME YOUR TUMMY Select a moderate rise, which is about eight to nine inches from crotch to waist. The waistband should hit just below your belly button, so that it will cover and smooth your stomach. Also look for a wide waistband and a small bit of stretch. Both provide a subtle, tummy-taming effect. Our T3 line offers subtle control via a stretch-fabric panel in front and a midrange waistband for instant flattery.
THROW THE WORLD A CURVE Curvier silhouettes shine in a style with a higher rise in the back than in the front. The contoured waistband should hit at the hipbone and bellybutton to help reduce the dreaded gap in the back. Flatter your curvy hips with a tapered leg with roomier thighs and slim your thighs with a rigid fabric with less stretch.
GIVE IT TO YOU STRAIGHT A straight figure has the luxury of being able to wear a variety of rises and styles, including our Genius Fit. In general, a slimmer style with tighter fit and a waistband that runs straight across the middle is your best bet. To create the illusion of curves, try a silhouette that flares out below the knees. Give a little boost to your bottom by wearing jeans with pockets where the bottom of the pocket hits where the cheek meets the thigh.
PETITE PERFECTION Create the illusion of a longer leg and a more toned look in the hips and waist with a dark rinse, straight leg style that always flatters and lengthens your petite look. Don't be afraid to buy a style that looks good and hem the jeans to work with heels. When wearing heels with your bootcuts or straight leg jeans, make sure the hem is about 1cm off of the floor, if the hem of your jeans covers the heel it will give the illusion of longer and leaner legs. Try a cute boot cut or sexy, cropped skinnies, too!
TALL & TRENDY Try a tapered leg to show your tall figure and try the trendiest styles like the zipped ankle jean for a fresh look and feel.
Share! What are you favorite styles to flaunt your figure?

I hate to say this - but most people just don't care. You're living in a world where most people are not interested in treating this like an economics simulation, and only really go to the AH to sell items they don't want.
Especially on a high population server like the one I'm on - there's really no controlling the price. Most people who are selling are not interested in doing a lot of work to make a profit.
. . . and sometimes volume IS more important than price. A lot of real life industries thrive on mass production, which allows you to sell huge volumes - at a low price!
It's not a bad thing to get more profit by volume rather than by individual profit margin.
In fact, I would argue that a lot of items in the AH will actually get you *more* profit from volume sales rather than from high prices. A lot of profession based items are easy to turn into large volume businesses.
If you price things TOO high, you risk having your customers move towards making the items themselves, rather than buying at the AH. Then you're left with items you'll never sell because customers will never buy them.
You have to look at supply AND demand - you can't just look at one and ignore the other. Demand is elastic in this game - it can change, and change easily.

Boulder, CO (SportsNetwork.com) - Askia Booker scored 27 points and Spencer Dinwiddie added 23 as No. 20 Colorado held off 10th-ranked Oregon, 100-91, on Sunday.
Josh Scott and Xavier Johnson both scored 15, with Scott also grabbing 12 rebounds for the Buffaloes (13-2, 2-0 Pac-12), winners in three straight.
Mike Moser dropped in 24 points while Joseph Young and Dmyean Dotson added 16 points apiece for the Ducks (13-1, 1-1), who have lost four straight to Colorado.
Colorado led 10-8, but a 13-4 Oregon run made it 21-12 with 10:15 remaining. The Buffs cut the lead to five points moments later, and Dinwiddie scored the next seven points to pull Colorado within 25-23.
A trey from Booker followed by a Johnson layup put Colorado ahead 28-27. The Ducks briefly took the lead back after a Dotson slam, but the Buffs scored the next nine points for a 39-31 lead. Oregon, however, closed the gap with an 11-5 swing to go into the break trailing 44-42.
Oregon opened the second half on a 16-4 run to open up a 58-48 lead, but Colorado countered with a 24-8 burst, led by three Dinwiddie treys, to go up 72-66.
The Ducks got within two, 74-72, but the Buffaloes went on a 6-0 spurt. Scott's free throw with 5:01 to play made it an 80-72 contest.
Oregon never got closer than five the rest of the way.
Game Notes
Colorado has knocked off two top-10 teams in the same season for the first time since 2010-11 when it beat No. 9 Missouri and No. 5 Texas. Colorado also defeated No. 6 Kansas earlier this season ... The Buffs improved to 55-7 at home under Tad Boyle ... Colorado allowed an opponent to reach 80 points for the first time this season ... Oregon hasn't started a season 14-0 since 1937-38.

In 1108, Polish duke Boleslaus III founded a fortified settlement, nestled in a valley among the mountains. Such was the origin of today's Jelenia Gora – a town of 900 years' history. Owing to numerous historic monuments, hot springs and picturesque location it is often called the Pearl of the Karkonosze Mountains. Does the town deserve this name? Come and see yourself.
All roads in the Old Town lead to the market square, which is surrounded by burgher houses with arcades, where the visitors are greeted by a bugle-call, played from the town-hall's tower. From here it is only a stone throw to the remnants of city walls, Gothic and baroque churches, streets with art. nouveau style houses, to castles and palaces. Our museums contain true treasures – the largest collection of artistic glassware in Poland, an interesting exhibition of birds and butterflies and much, much more.
Hot springs in Cieplice-spa – a district of Jelenia Gora, have been, for centuries, providing comofort to people suffering from motor organs, urinary tract, and eye illnesses. The treatment is supplemented by walks trough beautiful parks, and many cultural and tourist events.
Mountains and woods are visible from almost every point in the city, and one can reach them in just a couple minutes on foot. Journeys through the Karkonosze National Park and other landscape parks near the city limits are a great opportunity for close contact with nature.

Obedience? Maybe...?
Hi everyone :)
I practice agility at an outdoor facility. So in crazy Texan summer heat.. and freezing Texan winter.. we don't have practice.
Of course, the die-hard people in my friendly group all have a house with agility course in their yeard.. or they join classes at an indoor facility.
I am thinking, maybe it would be fun to do an obedience class at an indoor facility with Oxford during the cold month, after our agility get canceled (I am thinking December maybe? - or January?)
Oxford is still very much reactive. But he LOVES working. He loves free shaping. He loves 101 games with the box. He is (oddly) very obedient. He loves sit-stay-go get your toy game we play at the park :)
Does anyone do obedience?
What is the clear difference between obedience and obedience rally? Do I need to do obedience and then obedience rally afterwards.
I found a place that has a BUNCH of classes. I don't know which one to choose first...
Here what they say:
Impulse Control 101: This class is for EVERY dog. All dogs need to learn to think before they do. We like them to do the thinking so we don't need to do the nagging. We will be working on door manners (crate and door ways) as well as walking nicely on leash. The human will think differently after this class too! Only 4 dogs per class
Basic Obedience - 6 Week Class: Heres a chance to work on your dog's obedience and/or issues. Come out and join the fun - yes, fun! - as we work on your pup's skills and manners and solve those training challenges! This will be an upbeat and rocking class that will address the basics - control, attention and focus, and any throw-your-hands-up problems that you might have. We will also work on mastering the exercises that make up the Canine Good Citizen test.
Oh boy.. this is what I need :lol:
Agility for Reactive Dogs:This small group class is designed as a continuation of Reactive Dog class, therefore each dog must be evaluated prior to signing up for this class. Classes are structured for each dog's individual problem so they can move into a regular group agility class when they are ready.
Anyone here does obedience? :)
Yep, we do obedience! Bates only has a rally novice title, but I hope to also put a CD on him the next time I have enough spare cash to justify a show weekend :)
Most people will tell you that rally is "easier", and while I agree that rally is a better place to start off, rally and obedience each have their own set of challenges.
- Rally courses are different each time, obedience is always the same set of exercises.
- Rally allows for multiple signaling and encouragement for your dog. In obedience you can not say and signal the command at the same time.
- For rally, you have to keep the dog engaged throughout the entire course, there are no breaks. In obedience, there is a break between each exercise. You can touch the dog at this time and rev him back up or calm him down. In rally there is no touching the dog or breaks for the duration of the course.
- You cannot use food or toy rewards in the ring for either obedience or rally. However in APDT rally you can reward with food for stationary exercises. APDT rally courses are usually longer and harder too.
- At the advanced and excellent levels, rally has a food and toy distraction. I dont think there is ever a food distraction in obedience (at least not on purpose, I suppose some left over bait could end up on the ground in the ring).
- I think for bigger dogs, another issue with rally would be that the courses can get pretty tight. Some judges really like the turns and pivots, and those are hard for the bigger dogs. (There are no 360s in obedience, 180 at the most.) Especially if you have a turn sign right next to a stationary sign, it doesnt give you a lot of room to get the dog straightened back out.
AKC now also has a beginner novice obedience class. A starting point for those wondering if they're ready to start obedience.
In general I would say that obedience can be just as much "fun" for the dog (and handler) as agility, its all in how you train for it.
I do Rally obedience with Johann. :) I started out as a time filler between his basic manners class and when he was old enough to start agility (and give my broken leg time to heal).
1.5 years and quite a few trials later.....we're still in rally. :lol: The classes I take work on signs from all 3 rally venues (APDT, AKC, and UKC), but we compete only in APDT so far. I like the signs for APDT rally and that you can reward on course for stationary exercises (basically anything that ends with the dog sitting or in a down). Helps keep my monster interested in the "game".
I'd give it a try with him and see how he likes it. :) Johann got bored really quickly in our intro to rally class, but it was because we were in a class with dogs that barely knew sit/down/stand, and he hates drilling exercises. Now that we've moved up to level 2 and 3, the signs are more interesting and keep him engaged easier.
Thank you so much!!!
Sounds like fun!!! I hope I can keep Oxford interested! :lol:

Hit-Girl # 3 - Mark Millar
- Written by Arion on Sunday, November 18 2012 and posted in Blog
One's greatest desire is to be desired by the other, said Jacques Lacan once. And although Lacan wasn't exclusively referring to 12 year-old girls, I think that phrase fits in here quite nicely. As we've seen before, Mindy is undefeatable as Hit-Girl, but as a normal child she's at the mercy of the other: she has no friends at school and she's humiliated and ridiculed by the 'cool' girls.
Her greatest desired is to be desired by her peers, or rather, to be admired or at least accepted. She has been putting a lot of effort into it. Taking this challenge as an undercover mission, she has learned everything she needed about clothing, TV series and Justin Bieber. She's ready to be a normal girl, however she finds that her main rival is merciless. Mockeries about her look are now replaced by mockeries about how she's so desperately trying to change her appearance. One way or another, Mindy can't win. Her desire of being desired cannot be fulfilled.
So the question is how far would you -or any of us for that matter- go to gain acceptance? Mindy has lost her patience, and finally she decides to be a little bit more Hit-Girl and a little less girlish about this situation. She electrocutes her rival, ties her up and throws her on a garbage truck. And to top it all, she makes one final warning: she is to be accepted now, she is to become the alpha female, she is, in the end, to be desired by all the cool girls in her class. Apparently, her gambit has paid off.
|Red Mist in trouble / Red Mist en problemas
Meanwhile, Red Mist has other concerns in his head. First of all, he wants to avenge his father's death by killing Kick-Ass. However, it becomes painfully obvious that he's not up to the task yet. He barely survives his first major criminal strike -robbing a grocery store- and he's forced to leave the country or face the consequences of his delinquent acts. His idea is to imitate Bruce Wayne, to travel around the world and train with the greatest martial artists. By seeking revenge he's also looking the approval of his father, something which he never obtained when the man was alive. His desire, as a neglected son, is also to be desired by the other.
As in previous issues, John Romita Jr. succeeds in creating the adequate atmosphere for this Kick-Ass spinoff. Certainly, the distinctive style of Romita's pencils generates a much welcomed sense of unity, filling in the gaps that we might have detected from the end of Kick-Ass volume 1 and the beginning of Kick-Ass volume 2. I should also emphasize the visual strength of Tom Palmer as an inker and the delightful color palette used by Dean White. With only two issues to go it'll be a surprise to see what happens in the end.
|Mindy (Hit-Girl)
Su mayor deseo es ser deseada por sus coetáneas, o más bien, ser admirada o por lo menos aceptada. Y ha estado esforzándose mucho para lograrlo. Asumiendo este reto como una misión de inteligencia, ella ha aprendido todo lo que hace falta sobre ropa, series de televisión y Justin Bieber. Está lista para ser una chica normal, sin embargo descubre que su principal rival es despiadada. Las burlas sobre su apariencia son ahora reemplazadas por burlas sobre su desesperado intento por cambiar de apariencia. De un modo u otro, Mindy no puede ganar. Su deseo de ser deseada no puede cumplirse.
Así que la pregunta es, ¿qué tan lejos irías -o iríamos en todo caso- para ganar aceptación? Mindy ha perdido la paciencia, y finalmente decide ser un poco más Hit-Girl y un poco menos niña. Electrocuta a su rival, la amarra y la tira en un camión de basura. Además, le hace una advertencia final: a partir de ahora ella será aceptada, se convertirá en la hembra alfa, ella será, al final, deseada por todas las chicas populares de su salón. Aparentemente, su ardid ha dado resultados.
|my drawing / mi dibujo
Al igual que en números anteriores, John Romita Jr. crea con éxito una atmósfera adecuada para este serie derivada de Kick-Ass. Ciertamente, el estilo distintivo de los lápices de Romita genera una bienvenida sensación de unidad, llenando los vacíos que podríamos haber detectado entre el final del volumen 1 y el comienzo del volumen 2 de Kick-Ass. También debería enfatizar la fortaleza visual de Tom Palmer como entintador y la deliciosa paleta de colores usada por Dean White. Sólo faltan dos números para que termine todo, y será una sorpresa ver qué pasa al final.

Professor Berkey was a celebrated instructor of geology but his skill and passion lay in fieldwork. He spent most of his career travelling the
During his career he authored several books and articles and had an edited book dedicated as a fetschschrift (
This collection includes both personal and professional materials assembled by Charles P. Berkey during his lifetime. It consists primarily of correspondence, but also contains writings, newspaper clippings, and photographs. The collection spans the entire adult life of Berkey, and therefore provides insight into both his family and the growth of his career.
The Correspondence series relates primarily to Berkey's family and their activities, while the Biography series is limited to writings about Berkey and his accomplishments. The Writings/Lectures, Professional Correspondence, and Projects series address his contributions to the fields of geology and engineering, while the Awards series docuemtns the recognition he received for this work. Finally, the Family, Genealogy, and Photographs series provides insight into his personal family history. This guide concludes with a selected bibliography of texts from his collection.
The collection is organized into twelve series, including Correspondence, Biographical materials, Writings/Lectures, Professional Correspondence, Projects, Awards, Miscellaneous Professional, Family, Genealogy, Photographs, Miscellaneous, and Bibliography.
The largest series in the collection, it contains personal family letters and is housed in twelve archival boxes. Correspondence between Berkey and the authors, including his wife Minnie, his daughter Virginia, his son Paul, and his grandchildren is organized together chronologically, as are additional letters between several of these relations. The correspondence generally covers topics such as Berkey's travels, health, and other family matters. Paul Berkey described his experiences in the military to his father in some correspondence, while other letters bring their intended recipients up to date on such events as weddings and birthdays.
This series contains printed biographical information, autobiographical manuscripts, letters of personal commendation, and birthday correspondence. In 1937, on Berkey's 70th birthday, a surprise dinner was held in his honor. Over 300 guests attended it from several countries. This series contains a large number of letters from those who were unable to attend, as well as the invitation, program, and speech transcripts. This series also has the printed obituaries and official memorials dedicated to Berkey. His daughter, Virginia Berkey Hartigan, presumably collected this last part.
This series contains only a very small portion of Berkey's published works and unpublished manuscripts. There is a listing of his extensive publications in the first folder of the series. Berkey was invited to give a series of lectures for Columbia University in 1914 - 1915 called the Jessup Lectures. Drafts and completed copies of these lectures are contained in this series.
Berkey maintained a long-standing relationship with his mentor at Columbia University,
This series consists primarily of newspaper clippings from Berkey's many projects throughout the United States. Also contained in this series is the extensive record of Berkey's trip to Mongolia in 1925. The expedition was followed closely by the United States press and Berkey gave lectures and interviews on this event for many years.
Berkey was the recipient of numerous awards, medals, and honorary degrees. This series contains newspaper announcements, congratulatory correspondence, and official invitations and programs of the ceremonies. It is organized according to the date of the award.
This series contains the mundane official documentation of Berkey's professional career. It contains his handwritten (and undated for the most part) itineraries that he left for his family, as well as legal documents. The contracts, licenses, and invoices necessary for a professional career are contained in this series. The last folder in this series contains two of Berkey's geological journals in which he kept notes of the projects for which he consulted from 1945 - 1948. They contain minutes of meetings, random observations, and topographical sketches.
This small series contains clippings and official letters that pertain to Berkey's wife, children, and grandchildren.
Berkey toiled on the genealogy of the
This series is split into three sections: Berkey, professional, and family. All photos that depict Berket are in the first section, while those that only treat the projects on which he worked are in the second. The family section contains several photos of unknown personages assumed to be related to Berkey.
This series contains only two items. The first is an original invitation to the coronation of Edward VII of England in 1903. It is unknown, and considered unlikely, that Berkey attended the coronation. The invitation is unaddressed. The second item is an unsigned engraving of an unknown building, possibly on Columbia's campus.
