But this could be the last year for this risk-taking, fence-taking, life- taking sport. The aristocrats should be quaking in their riding boots: the roundheads are coming. The urban moralists of the New Model Labour Party have their hearts set on stopping the cavaliers in full charge.
Keen to clamp down on anti-social practices of all sorts, Labour plan to reduce the drink-driving limit, and warn us of the dangers of not sending our children to bed on time. And yesterday the party confirmed that it will hold a free vote on hunting if it is elected next year. Given the views of most Labour MPs, that probably means that a strong Labour victory would be followed in quick order by a ban on hunting. If there is an undercurrent of melancholy as the hip flasks are emptied, and the horns are prepared, it won't be surprising.
It is easy to understand where Labour are coming from. There is something revolting about the idea of killing for pleasure. No matter how much the hunting lobby bray about the thrill of the chase and the skill of the riders, one simple fact remains: the end purpose of this sport is death. Killing for food, killing for protection, killing to manage the countryside; all these are essential and we shouldn't be squeamish about them. But the idea that people could be so proud of enjoying the kill is rather repellent.
Tradition is no defence. The fact that families have been playing such games for centuries doesn't justify their heirs continuing to hunt today. For centuries people have been doing all sorts of appalling things - including badger baiting, cockfighting and working ponies until they dropped - that we have now made illegal. Compassion about animals isn't a fad for flaky urbanites, nor is it simply squeamishness; it is a measure of a society becoming gentler and more civilised. This newspaper wouldn't hunt.
But would we therefore ban it? We would not: the prospect of the state intervening to ban an activity where the harm to others is not overwhelming, troubles us deeply.
For a start, the cruelty case against fox-hunting is not clear cut. Foxes are not as fluffy as they look. Basil Brush and Roald Dahl - author of the children's classic, Fantastic Mr Fox - may have helped the little vermin weave their way into our affections, but they are predators which have been controlled for centuries by farmers and landowners, rich and poor. The anti-hunting lobby needs to make a more convincing case that other methods of slaughtering foxes are genuinely less cruel than hunting, before the arguments for a ban become overwhelming.
We should reflect, too, on our own hypocrisy about animal welfare. Fox- hunting, most of us hate. But what about fishing? Anglers across the country clearly get great pleasure from their sport, although the purpose again is to maim or kill, sometimes without actually catching anything to eat. Similar arguments about needless cruelty should apply to fish as to foxes. But, funnily enough, few saboteurs are ever seen charging along the canal banks, screaming slogans at raincoated anglers. Is it a class thing?
We are on equally tenuous ground with the food we eat. Many of us happily condemn blood sports while condoning the needless cruelty against animals that goes on for the sake of our dinners. Chickens don't have to be kept in such vile conditions to deliver us eggs and white meat. But so many consumers still prefer to turn a blind eye to the pain that is caused, for the sake of a cheaper shopping trolley.
The truth is that we single out fox-hunting among all these animal welfare issues because we loathe the lifestyle and the traditions that go with it. Hunting remains the preserve of a tiny, predominantly wealthy, minority. At a time when the royals and their aristocratic entourage are more out of touch with the real world than ever, the majority of the population are impatient with their rituals, their power and their privileges. Prince Philip's clueless remarks about shooting and cricket bats only rammed home how detached they are. And stories of Prince William's enjoyment of stag hunting disappointed many, for they forced the country to recall that he wasn't simply another cheery, baseball-hatted youngster; he was one of them.
But none of this is really the point. Britain is full of people who do things others strongly disapprove of: pornographers and gas-guzzlers, boxing enthusiasts and stone-cladders, conceptual artists and sado-masochists, motocross manics and urban skateboarders. But before we leap in to call for a ban, we need to be absolutely sure that the offence is so great that the power of the state is needed, and that the curb on individual freedom is warranted. After a lot of thought, we decided that this case had been made for a handgun ban, after Dunblane. But the libertarian argument which lost that one is not insignificant. We should be very careful, very edgy, about taking away the pleasures of minorities to salve the conscience of the majority.
New Labour should concentrate on the harder, more important things: political reform, more efficient public services, fairer taxation. If its MPs want to take on the aristocracy, then let it be through the abolition of the House of Lords. The roundheads took too many liberties away - and what happened to them in the end?Reuse content

By Rich Lord Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The union representing City of Pittsburgh police today endorsed Republican mayoral challenger Mark DeSantis over incumbent Democrat Luke Ravenstahl. The Fraternal Order of Police was announcing the choice at an afternoon press conference.
Mr. DeSantis "has got clear, concise answers to how to fix the pension and how to fix the budget," said union Secretary Chuck Hanlon. "He has business savvy. We see a lot of the same things in him that we saw in (late Mayor) Bob O'Connor."
The Ravenstahl campaign was not immediately available for comment.
More details in tomorrow's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

We catch breaks like our Wr catch passes.
I wonder what AJ Green's best day as a Pro was before this Sunday which likely will end up being his best ever. Who the heck do we have that will be able to cover him?
1.30) Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan (McKinley or Williams)
2.62) Quincy Wilson, CB, Florida (Obi Melifonwu, S)
3.94) Noah Brown, WR, OSU
The referee said that you hit Brian Sipe too hard. Did you hit him too hard?
I hit him as hard as I could - Jack Lambert
So are they going into this week with Brown and Victorian starting, King as the nickle back, and who else do they even have if needed?
How do injuries keep hitting this team in groups???
Put Plaxico at safety and troy at CB LOL.
Activate Carnell Lake...he filled in at CB for us once before!
The Rams' offense featuring weapons such as Marshall Faulk, Torrey Holt, and Isaac Bruce were known as "The Greatest Show on Turf"
The Steelers' offense featuring weapons such as Le'Veon Bell and Martavis Bryant should be known as "The Greatest Show on Grass"
This has nothing at all to do with respective playing surfaces at the Edward Jones Dome vs. Heinz Field.

Serves 4
This can be an elegant dish for guests or a quick and easy weeknight meal. Who would turn down chicken, mushrooms, Swiss cheese and wine? A side dish or egg noodles and a simple salad round out the meal.
You can adapt this basic paillards recipe any way you want—just remember not to overcook them, as they are quite thin. Try adding herbs, such as tarragon, basil or rosemary. The liquid can be broth, juice, any type of wine or even an exotic liqueur, such as Gran Marnier. Top the paillards with a fresh tomato sauce and mozzarella, then broil until the cheese melts. Use bell peppers, paprika and sour cream for that Hungarian touch. Plate the paillards as a bed for holding sautéed matchstick zucchini and carrots. Check to see what's in the fridge that needs to be used up. Got any mustard? Mix it with wine and you've chicken paillards in mustard sauce. Experiment!
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
3 teaspoons butter, divided
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1/4 cup Marsala wine
splash of cognac
1/4 lb. mushrooms, sliced
3 tablespoons grated Swiss cheese
Garnish: minced parsley, chives or chopped green onions
Pound the chicken breast halves until they are about 1/3" thin. Sprinkle each side with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 teaspoon butter and oil in a large non-stick skillet over high heat, and quickly add the chicken. Cook 45 seconds, then flip the breasts over to the other side, add the cheese, and cook 45-60 seconds on this side, until just cooked through. Remove from heat and keep warm by either tenting with foil or placing the cooked breasts in a low oven.
Melt remaining 2 teaspoons butter in the same skillet over medium flame and sauté onions and garlic until the onion turns slightly brown on the edges. Add the mushrooms and sauté till soft but still a bit firm. Add the Marsala wine, cooking until the sauce thickens slightly. Finally, pour on a splash of cognac, flaming it to burn off the alcohol. Pour this sauce over the breasts and garnish with minced parsley, chives or green onions.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
the answer is Yes and NO
It was in Japan and it closed it was actually called Fragment
there was rumors of a new on starting (when LINK comescame out) but I haven't heard much more.
Originally posted by MMOExposed
check this out, its an awesome World of Warcraft cartoon, well detailed with the animations.
this made me wonder, what if more MMO had their own cartoon shows or something along that lines.
Could add deeper immersion and connection to the game lore.
for example, lets take Rift, WoW, and LOTRO.
LOTRO is based on a IP used in other forms of media (but I believe its set in a different universe correct?) so it had a way other than the game for getting the community connected to the lore.
WoW is based on the Warcraft IP, which had a RTS game as well as a RPG game that both had communites and lore foundations.
while Rift, has nothing as a foundation other than the ingame lore bits, for lore info and connection.
well a Heroes of Telara Cartoon could really open up players deeper into the lore. yes?
whats your opinion?
That was a bad ass video that dude made, but no I would not like to see any mmo made into a cartoon. I don't care much for the animated studios of the west. But if the animated studios that made the Marvel Anime series were to make a promo video I might watch it. Check out the X-Men trainer.
"Small minds talk about people, average minds talk about events, great minds talk about ideas."
Wow, that was really awesome! Still, I prefer japanese anime to american cartoons and I play american MMO's, so my is answer is no.

We ended up here when told the taxi driver that we needed a inexpensive hotel next to the airport. Upon arriving we were lucky enough to meet friendly English speaking staff that were willing to offer us a great deal on the evening in our situation (girlfriends bag got stolen with money). The rooms are small or cozy hostel/ bachelor style rooms- some having 1/2 beds and some bunk beds. And most rooms come with AC and/or a fan, plus cable tv,free wifi, and free gallo pinto con huevo in the morning (traditional home style CR breakfast) with fresh fruit. This is walking distance from KFC, Taco Bell, Mcdonalds, a couple small bars with music, a grocery store (buy your Pilsens here for 500c) and literally (if you got the energy) walking distance to SJO airport. I later learned that if you call the hotel they will arrange for a free ride from the airport to the hotel too (usually $2-5 taxi ride).
Mind you , yes, its in the middle of Alujualah its busy around there. And yes, this isnt a 5 Star $400 a night hotel (which now , even in central america you have tons to pick from) - but for those traveling on a budget that would like to have a safe, friendly hotel to stay at , I would recommend this one. We even came back here again after we finished our trip from Quepos / Manuel Antonio and decided to stay here for our last night in town as well.
Pros - Affordable, Safe , friendly staff, free airport pickup, free breakfast
Cons- Small showers/ bathrooms in room, weird hot water shower head that barely works (like most affordable hotels in CR), Yes the sheets are old school lol - but i never witnessed them dirty or "with finger nails and hair"...
Ill be back here probably because of the affordable price, how close it is to the airport
- Also Known As:
- Hotel Internacional JM Costa Rica/Alajuela

Group DescriptionFormed in 1972 by voter initiative, the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (MROSD) is a not-for-profit public agency in the San Francisco Bay Area committed to the following mission:
To acquire and preserve a regional greenbelt of open space land in perpetuity; protect and restore the natural environment; and provide opportunities for ecologically sensitive public enjoyment and education.Open space lands offer a respite from everyday life, an oasis of nature and fresh air, and an opportunity to experience and learn about the diverse natural environment that contributes to our quality of life in the San Francisco Bay Area. The District works to form a continuous greenbelt of permanently preserved open space by linking its lands with other public parklands. The District also participates in cooperative efforts such as the Bay Trail, Ridge Trail, and Skyline-to-the-Sea Trail, which are regional trail systems in the Bay Area that include District lands.
The District has permanently preserved over 60,000 acres of mountainous, foothill, and bayland open space, creating 26 open space preserves (24 of which are open to the public).

Christofle-Gio Ponti Collection Makes US Debut
The Christofle-Gio Ponti Collection will makes its US debut on October 22nd during New York Tabletop week, featuing new, never before produced pieces from the acclaimed artist's archived sketches.
A Fifty Year Partnership Makes its US Debut
October 15, 2008 (New York, NY): In April 2008, Christofle's Gio Ponti collection premiered to critical acclaim in a special exhibit at the Milan Triennale. On October 24th, Christofle's revered collection is set to make its much-anticipated American debut during the New York Tabletop Show. Twenty-
During his lifetime, Gio Ponti was one of the most important architects in Italian design. He achieved international success as a leading world designer, a legacy that has remained solid for years after his death in 1979. Known best for his aesthetically superior architecture, Gio Ponti's influence also extended into industrial and furniture design, publishing and art. The Christofle-Gio Ponti collection speaks as a testament to Ponti's lasting artistic authority, combining his architectural genius with Christofle's unparallel mastery of silver craft.
The outstanding Milanese premiere of the new line did much to create buzz worthy press throughout Europe and the U.S. Signature pieces from the lauded collection have already been featured in recent issues of the New York Times, Metropolitan Home, and Town & Country. The new collection draws from Gio Ponti and Christofle's celebrated past by once again producing the designer's extraordinary, world-renowned objets d'art. Christofle has also put into production new, never before seen works that are based on the master architect's archived sketches.
Among the more iconic pieces at the exhibit will be the angular, v-shaped Volo Centerpieces;
The remarkable nature of the collection speaks to the inspiring 50-year collaboration between Christofle and Gio Ponti. The now-legendary partnership began in 1925 when Gio Ponti and Tony Bouilhet, Christofle director and heir, met fortuitously at an exhibition for the Decorative Arts in Paris. Gio Ponti had enormous respect for Christofle and from 1928 to 1978 the designer and architect worked with the well-known silversmith on multiple projects.
The Fleche Candelabra is one of the most memorable pieces to come out of the inspired collaboration. In the late 1920's, Gio Ponti saw his beloved niece Carla Borletti marry his new friend and partner, Christofle's Tony Bouilhet. The designer crafted this 2-arm silver candelabra as a way to celebrate the joining of two people. It also served a reflection of two talents forming a life-long partnership.
In the ensuing years, Gio Ponti and Christofle continued to demonstrate their passion for beautiful design and exquisite silver, many times through various artistic exhibitions. The acclaimed 1957 Formes et Idees d'Italie took place at the Galerie Christofle in Paris and served as the stage for some of Gio Ponti's major works, including home décor objects such as vases and candlesticks that were specifically designed for company. Other pieces, like the Stivale vase, were also created during this time and are being realized and produced for the first time in 2008 from the artist's own sketches.
At the dawn of the 21st century, Christofle and Gio Ponti continue to carry on their distinguished partnership. The legacies of the genius architect and the master silversmith are preserved by the continued reexamination and, in some cases, evolution of their pieces. The Christofle of today is proud to present the timeless, yet unceasingly modern, Christofle-Gio Ponti collection to an American audience.
For more information on Christofle or the Gio Ponti collection, please contact Leslie Fields at (212) 284-5109 or email@example.com.

Since 1842, Christofle has upheld its position as the foremost leader in the art of silver. With locations in more than 70 countries, Christofle is a modern, elegant brand which offers home decor, accessories and jewelry. www.christofle.com

text: Lifestyle Letter: Child discipline Janet Mansfield Thursday 25 September 1997 23:02 BST Click to followIndy Lifestyle Online Sir: I think it is very unfair for Diana Appleyard to try and excuse her children's behaviour on a sort of legacy of "authorised libertarianism" as advocated by Penelope Leach. When my now 22-year-old daughter developed the "terrible twos", Dr Leach's Babyhood came to the rescue and helped this most anxious young mother to deal with hideous tantrums effectively, consistently and firmly. The behaviour ceased, I repeated the advice with the next three children, and I am still using exactly the same method on the increasing number of four year olds who enter my reception class who seem never to have had any order in their lives at home. I never smacked them either, but I am proud that my children could be taken anywhere and would be pleasant to be with. Yes it took a bit of effort, but Penelope and I did it together!Janet Mansfield Cockermouth Cumbria Reuse content Comments

EDITORIAL: How To Make A Successful Aquaman Movie
King Of The Seven Seas
has yet to be done properly on film, or at all for that matter. However, with a Justice League movie approaching closer every day, I give my take on how to make an Aquaman adaptation enjoyable for everyone whether it is in the film or a solo movie.
When most people think of Aquaman, they start to laugh and I don't blame them. The most famous interpretation of him is from the super friends cartoon and, as corny as those characters were, Aquaman received the least amount of praise. His history in comics show that even the creators and writers were worried about his fate. At one point, he was given a hook to make him look cooler and that still didn't work out like the writers wanted. It is only fair to assume that an Aquaman movie would be a big risk. Even including him in a Justice League movie could be bad because the audience would most likely expect him to be the weaker link. However, if his inclusion or movie is done right, he could become some people's favorite hero. Here is my formula on how to make an Aquaman movie successful.
Show His Powers
Whether you are a fan of him or not, Aqauman does have some pretty cool abilities. It is true that he can breathe underwater and lives in the sea like Spongebob, but he can do so much more. The "he can talk to fish" aspect could play off well as seen in the picture above, along with his ability to control the seas and sea life. If anything, he could be referred to as comic book's Poseidon. Then there is the trident, which is a cool weapon by itself. Throw in a king who can use it like an extra limb and you have some great action scenes and some new respect for the character.
Show Atlantis
If there is one thing that is a must have when Aquaman is involved, it is Atlantis. Think about it. What did many people have a problem with in Green Lantern? Not enough space and/or Oa scenes. What did a lot of people love about Thor? Asgard! It adds a regal feel to the project and in return makes people want to respect it. An underwater kingdom could be beautiful on screen and many people would be happy to see that, especially with the visual effects we have today. There is a handful of aspects that could come into play whether it be political, ecological, or social tones. Even mentioning it in a Justice League movie or having the Atlantian army help the humans defend the planet against the villain would be a nice way to bring them into the world. To put it lightly, if Atlantis is not shown in an Aquaman project: it's ready to go down hill.
Use The New 52 Costume
One of the reasons why Aquaman has a bad reputation is because of his costume. It has usually been portrayed as nothing more than tight, brightly colored spandex pieces. However, the New 52 version changes that and emphasizes the details of the scales and the sleek look of the outfit. It looks regal, it looks like something a king would wear, and, above all; it looks awesome.
Use A Good Villain
Every hero needs a villain just like every Ying has a Yang. If you explored Aquaman's villains, you would find some pretty cool candidates for a movie. If you want to prove that Aquaman has a purpose and actually does things, pit him against someone menacing or dangerous. Give them a good motive and some awesome fight scenes, and you have a good villain that proves Aquaman is a hero.
Include Mera
Anyone who has read the comics knows that Mera is just as important to the Aquaman comics as Aquaman. The same rule applies to a movie. Unlike other heroes, Aquaman is married and involves his wife in almost everything. Mera is not only a beautiful and caring wife, but also a protective and inspiring queen. She fights for her kingdom just like Aquaman and sometimes fights by herself. This would add the feminine independence aspect that many CBM's lack, while also having the opportunity to create a great love story. Either way, it automatically earns brownie points if she is included.
This concludes another installment of my "How To" articles. If you would like to check out my other articles, such as my reviews/revisits, visit my fansite. Let me know what you thought about this in the comments. Feel free to like if you agree. Until next time, this is Hal Jordan signing off!

According to literature, colonic resection with a primary anastomosis and no defunctioning ileostomy is a safe treatment for colovesical or colovaginal fistula of diverticular origin. This study investigates the outcome of surgery for this patient group in a regional hospital.
Patients were obtained from a prospective database in the period 2004-2011. Several variables were investigated for their relation with surgical outcome.
A colovesical (n = 35) or colovaginal (n = 5) fistula was diagnosed in 18 men and 22 women. The mean age was 69 years (range, 45-90). A rectosigmoid resection with primary anastomosis was performed in 32 patients. Fourteen patients received a defunctioning ileostomy. Eight patients were treated with a Hartmann procedure. Overall 30-day treatment-related morbidity and mortality was 48 and 8 %, respectively. Major morbidity, because of anastomotic leakage, was mainly observed in the primary anastomosis group without a defunctioning ileostomy. Morbidity and mortality were associated with high body mass index, diabetes, use of corticosteroids, and American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, though not significantly.
One should be liberal in the use of a defunctioning ileostomy in case of a primary anastomosis after colonic resection for a diverticular fistula, in order to prevent high morbidity rates due to anastomotic leakage.

Child Protection and Equality
Child Protection and Equality
Cricket Scotland recognises that all adults involved in the coaching or supervision of children have a duty to safeguard their welfare.
This duty extends to the prevention of physical, sexual or emotional abuse of any child and will be applied regardless of a child's gender, race, religion, sexuality or disability.
All children have a right to be safe when they participate in sport and that those who organise or deliver sport to children have a duty to make sure children are safe and protected from harm - in and through sport.
Child protection in sport is not just about protecting children from others who may seek to harm them through sport. A trusted coach or leader may be the person a child chooses to tell about something that is happening at home or outside sport. In either case, we all have a responsibility to act on concerns.
Benefits of sport for Vulnerable Children
Participation in sport also makes an important contribution to a child's development. A child's natural sense of fun and spontaneity can blossom in a positive environment created by sports organisations.
Sport provides an excellent opportunity for children to maintain good health, learn new skills, become more confident, build resilience, self-esteem and maximise their own unique potential. This is particularly important for children affected by adversity, who may be particularly vulnerable.

Participation Update Highlights (December 2016)
Cricket Scotland supports sportscotland's assertion that equity is a broader concept than equality. It is not just about equal numbers, but is concerned more with fairness, justice, inclusion and respect for diversity.
Sports equity is:
- about making sure that everyone has an equal chance to participate in and contribute to sport or physical recreation if they choose to do so, and that no one is discriminated against unfairly for any reason, including – but not limited to - gender, race, disability, age, religious or political belief, sexual orientation, social background, ethnic origin, language, marital or civil partnership status or pregnancy.
- also about recognising and acknowledging that inequalities do exist between people in Scottish sport, taking positive and proactive steps to overcome these inequalities, and thus making sure that any barriers standing in the way of people who are traditionally not involved in sport are removed. Ensuring equity may require the unequal allocation or reallocation of resources and entitlements in order to overcome previous inequalities or discrimination.
Cricket Scotland recognises that research continually indicates that inequalities persist in most aspects of sport and physical recreation including participation, membership, governance, coaching and leadership. Cricket Scotland has a strong commitment to asserting the unique spirit of cricket by furthering the development of cricket in Scottish society and asserts that it is committed to implementing and promoting the Equity Standard: A Framework for Sport (2004) and establishing a robust equity policy.
Cricket Scotland is therefore absolutely committed to promoting and achieving equity, and to ensuring that unfair discrimination is eliminated. Discrimination on grounds such as those listed in paragraph one will not be tolerated within the National Governing Body in Scotland and its constituent Associations, Leagues and Clubs.
Cricket Scotland Child Protection Policy
Organisations that work with children and vulnerable adults have a duty of care to provide a 'safe, effective and child friendly environment'. To this end Cricket Scotland has produced its new Policy relating to this matter. This policy has been produced following guidance from Children 1st and the team at the Child Protection in Sport Unit, the experts in this field.

From Our Blog:
RED DOOR Sunday
This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday, the celebration of the gift of the Holy Spirit... More >
Pentecost is the feast on which we commemorate the coming of the Holy Spirit to the early followers of Jesus. Before the events of the first Pentecost, which came a few weeks after Jesus' death and resurrection, there were followers of Jesus, but no movement that could be meaningfully called "the church." Thus, from an historical point of view, Pentecost is the day on which the church was started. This is also true from a spiritual perspective, since the Spirit brings the church into existence and enlivens it. Thus Pentecost is the church's birthday.

Yah haven't made one in some time.
Tier 1
Huracan: Yah hands down, OP cards, OP bonus.
Freaks: Really strong atm, poison is good. Olga, Bogdan, Hindelga?, Shazam, baldivino underrated.
Tier 2
Roots: Really underrated imo. Flora, Yookie, Tuck, and personal fave, Ojibway.
Junkz: REAL solid.
Rescue: Solid, even without SoA.
Sakrohm: Versatile, Uranus!
Uppers: Lagging a bit, but still a highly buttkicking bonus.
Tier 2.5
Jungo: needs Ongh to be t2.
GHEIST: Mechakolos. Other than that, Leviatonn, Arkn, Hriger? SoA always useful.
All Stars: Really good bonus, haven't received nice cards recently, but still solid. Need Saki.
Piranas: Needs Lizbeth
Tier 3
Ulu Watu: Actually really like the clan, eddie is amazing, solid cards.
Vortex: Quite a solid clan, kinda lack a killer card.
Fang Pi Clang: Solid, lacks attack manip, SoA.
Nightmare: mm.. could be 2, but need a 5* reall bad.
La Junta: Nice cards! attack manip is so needed, weak to SoA (generally)
Frozn: Stompah, underrated, try for yourself!
Pussycats: Really synergies with some, but a bad hand spells disaster.
Tier 4
Berzerk: Does not have a solid 5* (Taylor maybe?), but actually still a highly usable clan. Lacks attack manipulation, but Elvis + Lola are still reasons to use the clan.
Montana: Kinda weak after Avola + mona gone.
Sentinels: Yet to see a truly good 5*, SoA as well.
Skeelz: Need SoA imo, as well as 5*.
Tier 5
Bangers: Bad, Beeboy is gone, terrible damage mainly.
GJ with UR on this part, clans are balanced!
I feel that saying "Pilling a 2* actually pays off against a card like Herman etc." is missing the bigger picture.
The aim is to out-gap your opponent over 4 rounds. Generally speaking, 2* offer the least gap potential than the other star counts (makes sense, obviously). Therefore to inflict the largest life gap, you want to win with higher stars and lose with 2*. This simple fact is the basis for Oracle's statement.
Even if you beat 5* with 2*, sometimes you'll still have to win 2/3 remaining rounds because of the low 2* life gap. Of course it varies game to game depending on the exact hands. But the truth of the matter is that in more circumstances than not, your 2* isn't meant to win.
I can understand what Azeem is saying. We have been seeing 2 star cards that can inflict between 4 to 5 damage more regularly than before, so winning with a 2 star like Dao Wang or Derby Queen, even Cornelia might be a very good decision during a match.
I love no pilling my 5* then chipping with my 2's the threat of 5 id normally all you need
I also say pussy cats should be higher. That are solid in half decks and mono is easy to use too. Its just about knowing the bluff
Why would you no pill your 5*? They could just 2 pill and bang there's your biggest threat gone.
I disagree with Frozn being bottom tier clans simply because they've got quite outstanding cards in each category that are usually solid without their bonus such as Rad, Stompah, Tiwi Ld etc etc.
Tier 2.5 is there i'm assuming because of the bans, he's even mentioned the bans that happen to them which makes them 2.5.
Sakhrom should be in tier 3/2.5 because they rely on Uranus to make a good deck, Uranus banned = hardly any Sak.
Ghiest perhaps should be tier 2 as you see a lot of decks with Ghiest in it that get top scores and personally i'd favour Ghiest over Sak.
They could just 2 pill and win but normally they don't they will pill to win as long as the stakes are reasonable.
or more effectively hold the 5 and Chip with one 2. Normally you will be in position to make it unwinanle. That is perfect place to play the bluff. There are plenty of 2 and 3 stars that can swing a battle.
you have to remember its not always about one card its about the deck.
my current deck has a 5 star that i don't think i have ever won with.
Should make one of these tier lists every week, or even bi-weekly. helps ppl train their brain to how the game flows. And great discussion between players too

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos encountered protesters Friday morning outside a D.C. middle school and found her way barred as she tried to enter through a side door, forcing her to retreat into a government vehicle as a man shouted "Shame!"
Eventually, DeVos got inside for an event starting at about 10 a.m. that included the D.C. schools chancellor and others. The event was closed to the media.
But the demonstration outside Jefferson Middle School Academy was a further sign that DeVos remains a polarizing figure in the education world days after she took office.
A video clip circulated on Twitter by ABC 7 News WJLA-TV showed an unusual scene of DeVos...

Karl von Wettinberg has so many Christian names that he can't remember them all in order. He has changed his name by deed poll to incorporate a huge glob of text that reads like a page ripped at random out of the Almanach de Gotha: "His Imperial and Royal Highness Prince Karl Fredericke Phillipe Charles Louis Alexander Nicholas Leopold Albert Edward..."
Karl von Wettinberg has so many Christian names that he can't remember them all in order. He has changed his name by deed poll to incorporate a huge glob of text that reads like a page ripped at random out of the Almanach de Gotha: "His Imperial and Royal Highness Prince Karl Fredericke Phillipe Charles Louis Alexander Nicholas Leopold Albert Edward..."
There's not really space to write them all here. He's also persuaded his mother to adopt a similar identity. It's all part of their masterplan to claim the titles and privileges of Charlemagne, and make Teddington, south-west London, the centre of a new Holy Roman Empire. "We're not cultists," protests the emperor's mother. "We are completely sane."
It's hard to say who or what Karl and Maria were before they decided upon their eccentric scheme of self-aggrandisement. Maria claims she was once a theatre designer, but she doesn't do this kind of work any more. Karl says that he doesn't have a job or a chequebook, and that he has never attended university ("Not that I can't get into them," he asserts.)
They won't reveal their real names, but Karl professes that he has always been Karl, that he is "twenty-five-and-a-half" years old, and that he spent the first three years of his life in South Africa, where his estranged father still resides. Is this man aware that his wife and son are attempting to establish themselves as de jure monarchs of European Christendom? "No," volunteers Maria. "He's very unwell, and he wouldn't like it."
Founded AD 800 by Charlemagne, the Holy Roman Empire expanded from an initial power-base in the German states to encompass territories in Italy, Bohemia and Burgundy. It also claimed sovereignty over lands east of the Balkans, although nobody east of the Balkans ever took much notice. Voltaire's remark that it was "neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire" was broadly true for most of its thousand-odd year history. In 1648, the Peace of Westphalia removed the emperor's remaining powers, and transformed the empire into a purely symbolic entity. In 1806, it was formally dissolved by Francis II, who feared that Napoleon might grab the title for himself.
The dissolution, however, is not going to put off the Wettinbergs - or whoever they really are. Karl is not asking anyone to believe that royal blood flows through his veins. Maria is not claiming to be some long-lost Habsburg princess smuggled out of Fugger zu Kirchburg und Weissenhorn in a hatbox.
Von Wettinberg is not the name of an ancient family of MittelEuropean nobles - it's simply a word Karl has plucked out of the air. Von Knackwurst would have done just as well. He's quite up-front about being an ordinary bloke from south-west London who's decided that, as nobody has been Holy Roman Emperor since 1806, and as the title was elective rather than hereditary, there's nothing to prevent him from legally establishing himself and his mum as the Royal Electoral House. Nothing but an appreciation of the ludicrous nature of the project, that is.
Last month, they took out an advert in this newspaper, cramming several thousand words of royal proclamation into our Public Notices column. "All and Singular Believers in Christ, Sovereign Powers and Courts of Europe" were informed of Karl's usurpation of the empire. "He's informed the Pope," says Maria, proudly.
"I have a signed document," says the young emperor. "An actual signed document. Of proclamation. People have sworn allegiance to me." And who might they be? "A couple of people. My mother. My sister has. At present that's about it."
Is life in Teddington so catatonically tedious that a boy and his mother have to resort to fantasies like this? But there's a hard-nosed objective to the Wettingberg project. "It's an opportunity to set up societies, an opportunity for the conference of titles. Pageantry. And I'm not talking about Walt Disney theme parks. Because I'm an amateur historian, I don't want anything like that."
Now, I feel, we're getting to the reason why his mother chose to blow £4,000 on an advert on these pages. Might Karl, perhaps, be in the business of title-selling?
As he's taking his own tape-recording of our interview - a procedure that I've previously known only Michael Winner to bother with - I'll give you his answer absolutely verbatim: "Errr. No, I wouldn't. I can't say. Err." A little later his denial is more firm: "I will never sell any titles or honours whatsoever at all. I'll say that on any record. You will never see an advert saying, 'You too can be Countess Such-and-Such for £10,000.' That will not happen. But..."
"He's got it all worked out," beams his proud mother. "I can say, if you want to give me a gift, I can confer a title." Is there a difference, I wonder? "The difference is, they are not for sale," explains Karl. "If you were a very wealthy man, you could give me a hundred thousand. But if I didn't particularly like you, I wouldn't give you a title."
And what if you really liked me, Karl, what would happen then? "Well, if you wanted a title, then you would give me a stipend. Or a gift. You must realise that you are not buying the title. Say if you were interviewing a really famous person, you would give them a gift. You're not necessarily paying for the interview, you're paying for his time and his patronage."
Well, I once gave Coolio a copy of Golf Monthly, but he never made me Margrave of Meissen in return.
I fear, however, that the Wettinbergs will have little trouble finding people thick enough to surrender their cash in return for the favours of the Teddington branch of the Holy Roman Empire. Title-selling is a minor, but lucrative and legitimate business in this country. Excel Multimedia in St Albans offer to make the punter laird of a "souvenir plot" of Caithness land for only £99. Noble Titles of Mouse Lane, Steyning, Sussex, has nine titles on offer. For ten thousand quid, you can be lord or lady of Kidbrooke (a suburb of south-east London within gobbing distance of Eltham). For £4,500, you can go over to Stubbington, Hampshire, and encourage people to tug their forelock and call you "squire".
"Our company's service," their brochure reassures potential customers, "is based on the fact that the English Legal system allows titles to be claimed and registered, if it can be proved that there are no living heirs... Technically, we are able to register a 'possessory title', which can be sold on for a fee. We make extensive searches of records and archives to ensure that the Titles can be sold, and you can be sure that the Titles are sound." Basically, if you can find a reference in the Domesday Book to a Lord Feckless of Scunthorpe, and nobody holds the position today, you can assume the title and sell it on to some brag-hungry third party.
"If he confers titles," argues Maria von Wettinberg, "it's going to give people who are interested in history the opportunity to help bring this whole thing alive. To become part of something. A lot of good can come from that."
Her son has been nursing these ambitions since he was 15. "I've always been a monarchist, but not in the term of a sycophantic monarchist, you know, kiss feet and bow, bow, bow. I'm a monarchist in its real terms, not in its 'I'll die with you on the battlefield' kind of thing."
Which is a bit of a shame, really. During our interview, over coffee in the Royal Garden Hotel, Kensington - where else? - I've been struck by Karl's wholly unromantic attitude to his emperorship. He's not full of dewy-eyed anecdotes about the glorious victory of Otto I over Berengar II of Italy. He doesn't smart over how, at the Concordat of Worms in 1122, Pope Callistus II cheated Emperor Henry V out of the right of spiritual investiture. It's as if he wants the titles much as a trainspotter might want a complete list of 1950s locomotive serial numbers.
Surprisingly, he's expecting a fight to hold on to them. The Bishop of Cologne, he suspects, might have something to say about one or two of the honours he has proclaimed as his own. He is even - because of the publicity it would generate, I suspect - looking forward to thrashing it out with another pretender.
I could start the ball rolling myself and use this space to announce my own accession to the emperorship, claim the duchies of Swabia, Franconia and Thuringia for my goldfish and establish a rival empire downriver at my flat in Greenwich. But I don't think my mother would go along with it.Reuse content

What I Want For Christmas in Five Paragraphs December 03 2009
"What I Want For Christmas" is a high-interest, persuasive writing exercise for students. The point is for them to persuade their parental figures to give them presents they would like for Christmas, and the focus is helping students construct paragraphs, organize and support reasons, and craft opening and closing sentences.
If you have younger kids, this might work better as a whole-class exercise, using sentence strips and a pocket chart. Small groups of students can come up with and write down reasons on the sentence strips, and you can model how to put those reasons together into a cohesive paragraph. Another mini-lesson idea with this format is to teach about opening and closing sentences.
The Reasons
Before anyone starts writing, it would be a good idea to brainstorm with your students reasons why they should get what they want for Christmas. I have found over the years that this is a difficult concept for kids. I've had to supply a lot of direction to help them see things from the parents' perspective, and encourage them to choose reasons that will appeal to parents instead of the kids themselves.
After brainstorming a healthy list of these kinds of ideas, I try to help students group them together in three main categories: What Kids Want, Why They Want It, and Why Parents Should Give Them Those Gifts. The first two categories could make up the first paragraph of this persuasive piece. Then the three body paragraphs can each focus on a reason why students want a certain gift.
Another variation is to make this piece of writing less persuasive and more informative in nature, using those three categories - What Kids Want, Why They Want It, and Why Parents Should Give Them Those Gifts - to make up the three body paragraphs. This might be a better option for students who are starting persuasive writing - it's a tricky mode, and they would only have to deal with the actual persuasive part in the third paragraph.
Organization is Key!
The easiest way to organize a persuasive paragraph - or series of paragraphs - is the opening sentence, first reason, second reason, third reason, closing sentence. To help form this persuasive piece in particular, I've constructed two Graphic Organizers: the first is a Persuasive Graphic Organizer for Teachers with notes, and the second is a blank Persuasive Graphic Organizer for Students to use to organize their writing.
In order to transition from one reason - or paragraph - to another, students are going to have to have some idea of transitional words. Some of these transitional words are first, second, third, next, then, also, last, and finally. If you're working with younger kids and using this as a whole-group lesson with a pocket chart, you can put in the transition words using sentence strips, modeling how they work.
The Paragraph, or Sequence of Paragraphs
Before they start writing reasons and paragraphs, I like to do a mini-lesson or two - along with some practice - of opening and closing sentences and paragraphs. Closing paragraphs in particular can be difficult, and I direct students to focus a sentence or two in this paragraph on feelings or opinions; in this case, it might be, "It's important to me that you know why I think I should get x for Christmas. (Can repeat the three reasons here). If I got x gift, I would be the happiest kid around."
Instead of giving them this example, have them construct a variety of closing sentences and write them down on a piece of chart paper in a list. Then have the class pick their three to five favorites, and see if they can be combined at all into a closing paragraph with a little tweaking.
It would be entertaining for you to schedule a couple of sharing times for students to read all or portions of these pieces to their classmates. Plus, it will give you an idea of what kids out there want for Christmas!

Agency.com Sues iCrossing For Poaching Clients & Employees
Agency.com Sues Rival Over Clients from the Wall Street Journal reports that Agency.com is suing iCrossing for allegedly trying to hire Agency.com employees and steal their clients.
Agency.com is specifically suing for breach of contract, tortuous interference and conspiring to misappropriate proprietary information and trade secrets. They are seeking $19.5 million in damages from iCrossing. Furthermore, Agency.com is blaming iCrossing for the closing of their Dallas office and the "decimation of the firm's Chicago office."
The Wall Street Journal reports that depositions lead Agency.com to believe that such activity was going on. The depositions allegedly confirmed iCrossing offered "at least a dozen Agency.com employees before the restriction against iCrossing soliciting or hiring Agency.com employees expired." Specifically, Marriott/Ritz-Carlton had two projects underway with Agency.com, which was allegedly pulled from them when a former Agency.com employee brought them over to iCrossing.

Pick Some Jumps For Me!
So I'm planning on after Christmas, buying some new jumps and slowly building up a collection and maybe getting some portable cross country jumps, so I figured I'd post some pictures of jumps I like and see what you guys think of them. I won't get them all at once, but I'll hopefully end up getting everything on my list. So post away, letting me know what you think. I'll most likely make my own wings, as it is about $200 cheaper. I'd most likely get some fillers and poles. I'll post pictures in the next post, as my lovely computers being un-friendly.
