In the two weeks since Lions receiver Nate Burleson was lost for the season with a broken leg, a couple of young receivers — Titus Young and Ryan Broyles — have played well in his absence. And that raises an uncomfortable fact for the 31-year-old Burleson: When the Lions have two receivers who are younger, cheaper and healthier than him who are doing his job in his absence, the Lions may decide after the season that they don't need Burleson at all.
But if Burleson is worried about getting cut next offseason, he's not showing it. Instead, Burleson is saying he's happy for Young and Broyles.
"I'm happy for the young guys," Burleson told the team's website. "They are in a good position. I told them me being injured is a great time for those guys to solidify themselves as great receivers. Just being realistic, that's what the game is about. It's about stepping up when people go down."
Burleson said that by supporting Young and Broyles, he's doing for them what a veteran receiver did for him when he was a 23-year-old on the 2004 Vikings.
"Me and Marcus Robinson were battling for the [spot] opposite Randy Moss and I remember him telling me, 'I'm not going to knock you and I'm not going to pull you down. I'll always be there,'" Burleson said. "I thought to myself, 'If he can do that, I'm never going to cheat the game and be a selfish [player]. I'm always going to give the guys the tools they need even if it puts me in a position that makes me uncomfortable.'"
Burleson has two more seasons on the five-year, $25 million contract he signed with the Lions in 2010, but he knows that in the NFL, injured players on the wrong side of 30 often don't make it to the end of their contracts. Especially when the team has younger players available.
"With them balling out completely, it could leave me the odd man out," Burleson said. "That's just a reality of the game. Once I heal up, I'm going to come back at a high level and if my spot is secure on this team then I'm going to continue to do what I do and lead. If not, hopefully, I prepped the young guys to be in a position where they can easily take my place."
And so Burleson will continue to be a good teammate and help Young and Broyles in any way he can. Even if he's helping them push him out of a job.

Parole board gets three new members, making quorum
Governor Togiola Tulafono has appointed Ipu Avegalio Lefiti, Uso Lago'o and Tauai Suiaunoa as three new members to the parole board last week.
For the past 11 months there have been no parole hearings because there has been no quorum. A General Memorandum dated June 18, 2012 with the subject "removal and appointment of parole board members" has it that current Chairman Reverend Ned Ripley and Charlie Togiola remain on the board while Reverend Fa'atui Laolagi has been replaced.
Samoa News understands that Laolagi has been seeking medical treatment off island due to his health.
Governor Togiola in the general memorandum thanked the sitting members of the board for their years of service in their appointments and remove from them their appointments to the board along with their attendant duties.
The governor noted that in accordance with the statute each appointed member "shall serve an indefinite term" and the board shall select a chairperson and each member of the parole board shall continue to serve until his or her successor is dully qualified and appointed by the Governor.
Togiola said he is confident that the new appointees will carry out the statutory duties of the Parole Board. Lefiti's appointment by the governor came as a surprise to her, she told Samoa News.
However she said it's an honor and challenge and it's definitely another dimension in her work as a victim advocate and activist. "It's also an opportunity for me to learn more about the justice system and how it works" she said. Lefiti thanked the governor for putting his trust in her to be a part of the parole board.
Lefiti hoped that her being a part of the parole board would be an asset to the board and she's looking forward to working with the members.
Lefiti, a strong advocate for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, writes editorial pieces, and is a strong activist promoting awareness in the church and community. She served in the U.S. military until 1994, and is active in a number of organizations.
Lefiti is a the vice-chair for the Multi-Disciplinary Task Force against family violence; a founding member of the American Samoa Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence, serving as vice chair and then as executive director, a co-founder of American Samoa's Task Force on Faces of Abuse; secretary for the Women in New Dimension, a domestic violence transitional facility; secretary on the governing board of the Boys and Girls Club of American Samoa; and member of the First Lady's Ta'ita'itama Executive Board on prevention of underage drinking initiative.
Lefiti also received the first Arthur A. Morrow award from the American Samoa Bar Association. Samoa News was unable to get a hold of Suiaunoa and Lago'o to comment on their appointment.
As Samoa News reported earlier, a parole officer who wished not to be named said the board is supposed to meet every six months however that has not happened.
In March Samoa News received a letter from inmate Mike Agasiva who said the Parole statute permits the parole board to meet every six months to consider applications from eligible inmates, however the last parole hearing was in June 2011.
Agasiva in his letter states that there are only three board members left and that they undergoing medical checkup off island, so there are not enough parole board members for a quorum to hold parole hearings.
The inmate also appealed to Governor Togiola Tulafono to come for an impromptu visit at the Tafuna Correctional facility. Agasiva said the "TCF is not only over crowded but when 5-6 inmates sleep on the cement floor without mattresses in a 10X10 cell it constitutes "cruel-and-unusual punishment".
Agasiva added that there are other civil rights violations "beyond the Governor's imagination" involving the mentally impaired and physically disabled individuals at the TCF. Agasiva concluded his letter by stating that TCF needs parole board action as soon as possible.

Seguin excited to open new chapter with Starsby Tal Pinchevsky
Just days before starting his first training camp with the Dallas Stars, Tyler Seguin sat aboard a Dallas-bound flight and tried something for the first time in more than a year.
He put on the Stanley Cup ring he won with the Boston Bruins in 2011.
Maybe it was boredom that compelled him to slip the championship ring onto his finger, maybe it was nostalgia. Either way, it brought back vivid memories just days before starting a new chapter in his career.
"I was bringing it to Dallas. I wouldn't put it in my luggage, so I just travelled with it," Seguin told NHL.com. "I took it out for the first time. It just gives you that feeling … it's almost like you put on something and you flash back to everything, how great it felt."
In three seasons in Boston, the second pick of the 2010 NHL Draft enjoyed enough memories, good and bad, to fill a 20-year career. There was the Cup win in his rookie season, an All-Star Game appearance in his second, and then another appearance in the Stanley Cup Final in 2012-13. While making the Final was a solid accomplishment for the team, it was an inconsistent season for Seguin, who played everywhere from the first line to the fourth line.
Then he got traded.
That's what the text messages said -- all 106 of them.
Seguin was on a beach with friends when news of the trade to the Stars first broke. Unable to get proper reception on his phone, it wasn't until he drove further into town that he saw the barrage of texts.
"One of my best friends didn't talk to me for literally five hours," Seguin said. "Wouldn't say a word to me. Everyone was instantly sad."
Just like that, Seguin was on his way to Dallas, where he will be living in an apartment previously owned by former Star Derek Roy. He recently discovered that potential linemate and fellow All-Star Jamie Benn just moved into the building.
Whereas the Bruins were a picture of consistency during his time there, Seguin now joins a Stars team that turned over its ownership, front office, coaching staff, roster, uniforms and logo during an 18-month span. In the wake of that wholesale makeover, Seguin has emerged as the key piece. It's an opportunity he's looking forward to.
"I've experienced a lot, but I'm hoping I still experience a lot more," he said. "I think Dallas is a fresh new start. Something guys just need sometimes. I definitely want that and I look forward to it. It's a very exciting time. [Dallas] is actually a lot different from anything I've seen. I really like it. I was expecting a lot more cowboy hats; I didn't see too many of those. I've got my boots packed in the suitcase ready to go."
It certainly will be a change of pace for Seguin, who quickly became an icon among Boston's diehard sports fans. It was a unique lifestyle for someone so young. And that place in Boston's tight-knit sports community is something Seguin admits he will miss."In Boston I was the only single guy on the team, so I would be hanging out with a couple of guys from the [New England] Patriots," he said. "I'll miss things like that. But I made friends that I'll keep for the rest of my life. Everyone was together. You went to charity events and were always together. Anywhere you'd go you would know someone. You go out to dinner, you know someone, that's just how it is."
But that kind of visibility didn't endear Seguin to everyone in Boston. During his time with the Bruins, especially around the time of his trade, much attention was paid to how he spent his time away from the rink.
"I think it [being single] makes your microscope even bigger on you," he said. "It's a little unfair. I heard some of the rumors and stuff like that and … I didn't think it was fair what people were saying. Everyone's going to have their own opinion. Dallas is a new city. People won't be saying I'm hanging with the wrong crowd because there are a couple of single guys on the team. It just makes life easier."
Seguin's journey in Dallas should benefit from the presence of Stars advisor to hockey operations Mark Recchi, who played with Seguin during the Bruins' 2011 Stanley Cup run. At that time, Seguin was 19 and thought Recchi, at age 43, "didn't look like a hockey player."
There's also the Stars' executive advisor and alternate governor, Mike Modano, Dallas' longtime franchise player who Seguin idolized as a child.
"I think Dallas is a fresh new start. Something guys just need sometimes. I definitely want that and I look forward to it. It's a very exciting time."
-- Tyler Seguin
"I've been talking to [Recchi] a ton, especially since the trade," Seguin said. "They [Recchi and Modano] want to meet up when we're in Dallas and go over things. They're just there to help. They're just good guys and they want to see Dallas win."
Dallas' quest to return to the postseason for the first time since 2008 likely will begin and end with Seguin. Hailed as a franchise player from the moment he entered the League, he may be getting his best shot yet to fulfill that promise. And he'll be bringing plenty of lessons learned during three seasons in Boston with him.
"I want to be a little more vocal in Dallas than I was in Boston," Seguin said. "This is going to be a challenge; there's going to be some growing pains. I'm looking forward to overcoming that as a team. First and foremost I'm just looking forward to earning the respect of my teammates and getting to know them and going from there."

Hey all!
It has been over 2 and a half years since I've even been on WordPress and I'll admit it, it's producing a little anxiety. What am I doing back here? They say you can never go home again, but is that my goal? So much has changed that there is no way this blog will follow the same trajectory as before. I'm a different person. I mean, an amazingly different person. But I feel like I have something to say again, something to share, a lot of things to make sense of, and I hope it's something that interests past and new readers as I once did before.
This blog was aptly named 'Tales of a 30-Year-Old Nothing' at the time I created it and now I feel it could be more like 'Tales of a 30-Something-Year-Old Something'. (Name change currently under debate in my head). When we last met I was mainly struggling through unemployment and the dreaded job search. I got a job, or 2, or 3 and switched to find struggles with nothingness, lack of motivation, uncertainty and instability, depression, this past winter on the east coast (you know what I'm talking about NE-ers), finding purpose, finding my place in life, an eventual move back to my hometown, making sense of the adult I was fighting against becoming and the adult I'm working so hard to be. It's no pleasure cruise (but sign me up for one of those stat), and looking back knowing that there has been a 2 1/2 year gap between then and now makes me realize how little and how much growth there has been. These progressions aren't happening over night and they have been met with resistance from my own psyche as well as other's. The old adage 1 step forward, 2 steps back becomes a way of life and the best we can do is make sure that step forward is more of a stride. It's the only way to get anywhere. Now don't get me wrong, there have been many moments of contentment and happiness, times of pure elation, ecstasy, and joy that have shaped my journey. It all matters and plays a role. And really, I'm not a heavy person. Put on a cheesy 80s song (such as the one I'm listening to now) and I'll dance to it like a lunatic. (Unfortunately, videos will not be provided).
I'm not looking back anymore. At least not to live. I will, however, take a handy-dandy time machine to certain points that I feel are important to address in hopes of achieving a deeper understanding and to share with those who are/have been stuck right along with me.
So I've heard starting at the very beginning is a very good place to start, and I feel it's time to reintroduce myself to the WordPress community. I'm 33, I moved to Philadelphia within the past year after over a decade in Manhattan, and am reawakening a part of myself that has laid dormant for far too long. I've always loved writing but occasionally lose focus when life gets in the way. Just like working out, once you put it off a few days, months, years, what's a few more? This time I'm committed, as I am in all aspects of my life. That is the difference. And I'm on the computer all day anyway (like the rest of us dry-eyed zombies) so what's another hour? But why am I on the computer all day? I work in social media. It's a glamorous life of home offices in bedrooms, neighborly door-slamming distractions, soap opera lunch breaks, and bun hairdos. My co-worker/housemate is a cat and I have a pair of Kurdish farming pants hanging on my bedroom wall to remind me of a trip to Turkey in my 20's. My favorite color is pink and I like long walks on the beach… (wait, just kidding, that last bit is not at all true). Most importantly, I'm navigating through a series of mazes and obstacles on my way to living the life I want and know I deserve. We can do it with a little help, determination, time, and a very well-timed bet that a friend jokingly proposes but you take on with extreme gusto.

Baked Frittata with Corn & Arugula
Guess I'm going through an egg, arugula, green garlic and Goat Gouda phase! Works for me...
This baked frittata really hit the suppertime spot and I topped it with halfed sweet tomatoes and balsamic vinegar...wow!
I never liked the stove-to-oven frittata method. It doesn't make sense, but I find it irritating. So I was psyched to discover this baked frittata recipe. In this case, I made an individual frittata using two eggs, along with sauted green garlic, arugula, and fresh, crunchy corn. I loved the corn and arugula combination and the Goat Gouda was the perfect cheesy compliment.
Baked Frittata with Corn & Arugula:
2 eggs beaten
1 tbsp milk, half & half, or cream
1 tsp flour
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp butter
1 stalk of green garlic, finely chopped
1 cup arugula
1 ear of corn, kernels shaved from cob
1-2 oz Goat Gouda, grated
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Beat together the eggs, milk, flour, and salt and pepper until smooth.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet and add the green garlic. Cook for 2 minutes then add the butter. Cook 2 more minutes, add the arugula and cook until wilted. Remove from the heat and stir in the corn kernels.
Add the egg mixture to the vegetables and stir until well combined. Stir in most of the Gouda, saving a little to sprinkle on top.
Pour the mixture into a ramekin (Mine was 4.5"x4.5"), sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese, and place the ramekin on a baking tray.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until set.

Groundbreaking Set for ILEA Building, Jan. 12, 2005
CONTACT: Jack Swickard (505) 317-1007
ROSWELL — A small explosion will break ground on Saturday, Jan. 12, for the $5.4 million International Law Enforcement Academy building in Roswell.
Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., will be the featured speaker at the 11 a.m. ceremony during which the explosion will be set off.
Joining Domenici as speakers at the event will be Dr. Dan Lopez, president of New Mexico Tech; Roswell Mayor Bill Owen; representatives of Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., and Rep. Steve Pearce, R-N.M.; and a representative of the U.S. Department of State.
The site of the 24,500-square-foot building is just north of the current ILEA-Roswell facility at 69 Gail Harris at the Roswell International Air Center.
New Mexico Tech operates ILEA-Roswell under a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of State. New Mexico Tech's partners in operating the Academy are Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell, Sam Houston State University and Science Applications International Corp.
Domenici and the late Rep. Joe Skeen, R-N.M., were instrumental in having the Academy placed in Roswell. Mary Skeen, wife of the late congressman, will attend the groundbreaking ceremony on Saturday.
The new ILEA-Roswell building will feature state-of-art electronics, including wired and wireless Internet service, and will have classroom space that can accommodate as many as 100 students at a time.
In May 2004, with the help of Domenici, New Mexico Tech received $2.2 million in funding to begin the process of constructing the building.
At the beginning of August, New Mexico Tech received $2.1 million from the Department of State for construction of the building.
In early September, the Roswell City Council approved leasing property to New Mexico Tech for the building. The land was leased on condition the former Walker Air Force Base Chapel would be demolished at no cost to the city and the Academy would be built on the premises.
In September, New Mexico Tech received the final $1.1 million from the Department of State.
Since classes began in September 2001, ILEA-Roswell has provided training to 1,319 delegates from 61 countries.
On Saturday (Jan. 8), the Academy's 32nd class arrived in Roswell for the senior management course. The class is composed of 33 senior- and mid-level law enforcement officials from Paraguay and Uruguay.
Delegates at the academy attend classes divided into four modules: Criminal justice in a global environment; modern policing strategies; key issues in policing; and global trends and emerging issues in transnational crime.
Classes range from discussions on leadership and human resources to ethics in policing and the effects of corruption. Human rights receive strong emphasis throughout the program.
Delegates have a wide array of backgrounds and have included the chief of environmental law enforcement for Brazil, the heads of national narcotics enforcement agencies, art theft investigators, and the head of a police human rights office.
Frank Taylor, retired New Mexico State Police chief, is general manager of ILEA-Roswell.
Dr. Van Romero, vice president for research and economic development at New Mexico Tech, oversees the program.

It didn't take the events of last Friday in Baton Rouge, La., to root for Stanley Roberts. He has always been one of the good guys. Too good, if anything, the way he couldn't say no to people close to him and they helped drain the bank account until Roberts estimated he had gone through all $30 million from his playing days.
But what a moment deserving a cheering section as Roberts accepted his diploma in Sports Administration from LSU in graduation ceremonies in the indoor-track facility, after leaving school for the pros in 1990, after one season in Spain followed by stops with the Magic, Clippers, Timberwolves, Rockets and 76ers and a last grasp in Puerto Rico, after selling his car and riding a bike and the bus to classes. After everything.
Roberts had the skills of an elite center but played his way out of the NBA because he couldn't stay in shape – during the season – and ultimately because he couldn't stay away from drugs. He went through a lot of money. He had triple-bypass heart surgery in August.
In the perfect symbolism of the moment, he refused to accept advice to drop out of school, re-enroll in the spring and complete the degree then. He was that determined to finish now. He was 42 years old. Enough with the delays.
"It's the biggest thing I've ever accomplished," he told Jim Kleinpeter for the excellent storyin The Times-Picayune and NOLA.com on Roberts' long path to college graduate. "It was difficult, brutal at times. But through the grace of God I got through it."
While Shaquille O'Neal was overly generous in saying his former college teammate could have had a better pro career, an in-shape Roberts was an All-Star in waiting. He just never seemed to have the passion to play, which led to the conditioning issues, which led to the breakdown of his career and then the off-court problems. Stanley Roberts is the classic example of the guy who played basketball because he was tall, eventually reaching 7 feet, and everyone told him he should play basketball. Not because he had a love for the game.
His love of people, though, was undeniable. Roberts was a joy to be around, relaxed and overflowing with Southern charm and unable to hold a grudge no matter how cutting the criticism became. Dale Brown, his LSU coach, spoke of Roberts the person in the highest terms. Larry Brown, his coach with the Clippers and 76ers, delighted at being around Roberts, despite the number of potential wins his health issues cost LB in Los Angeles. Magic executive Pat Williams wielded a sharp needle around the expanding Roberts – no man is an island, but Stanley is close, and so on – but also endlessly praised the kindness of a player without pretense.
That is why, as the latest Roberts update gets around, the one about getting his college degree, a lot of people will be happy. As Kleinpeter wrote:
Roberts was better prepared when he returned in the fall of 2008. With encouragement from friends and a course load he could handle, Roberts said his GPA improved to 3.0 or better during the next four semesters. He worked student jobs in the Carl Maddox Field House, where his graduation ceremony will take place, and a campus convenience store. (Dale) Brown's foundation helped him with apartment rent.
Better still, Roberts earned the respect of his teachers, fellow students and athletic administration. He was a reliable participant in classes, always willing to speak out and start discussions. Because of his maturity, he's often called upon to speak to Tiger teams about his life experiences and to encourage them not to make the mistakes he's made. Many of the athletes had never heard of Roberts but he was easily able to relate to them and garner their attention.
"It was hard not to like him," said Dee Jacobsen, undergraduate sports administration program coordinator who taught Roberts in four classes. "He's so personable. He can be in any conversation with any group of students.
"He put forward a lot of effort, working while he was going to school. He really worked hard to get through those classes; he would do whatever he had to do to get through them. I think he will be successful at anything he wants to do. He's an amazing guy."
For now, Roberts said he will look for a full-time job and also study for graduate school. He is interested in getting into coaching. There are some life lessons he'd like to pass along.

I've spent my life on the Chesapeake Bay, working in recreational and commercial fishing industries. Yet I never gave much thought to tugboats, their captains and crews in the Baltimore Harbor. That changed last winter. Editing Captain Bill Eggert's new book — Gentlemen of the Harbor: Stories of Chesapeake Bay Tugboats and Crews — I became fascinated by the tugboat industry on the Bay, its history, people and contributions to Maryland's economy and commerce.
Eggert explains through stories and photos how the industry works in tandem with foreign and U.S. barges and Bay pilots. Bay pilots take over the helm of foreign vessels to get them up the main stem of the Chesapeake. When they near the Key Bridge, a tugboat captain takes the helm from the pilot, and his first mate takes over the tug to maneuver the ship into dock space.
Tugboating on the Chesapeake began in Baltimore in 1812. Luke League found that he could assist sailing vessels getting into Baltimore's ports during foul weather. He eventually bought or built seven tugboats, and when he retired his two sons took over the business. In the first half of the 20th century, The Curtis Bay Company tugboat fleet was the largest in the Mid-Atlantic, with 25 boats and 24-hour service between Baltimore, Philadelphia and Hampton Roads.
You'll learn of life on the tugboats and meet captains with stories of breaking ice, serving the war effort, moving coal and more. You'll meet, for example, Baltimore's Justine Brown, who handled dispatch calls to the tugs via land telephone before ship-to-shore radios. In 1943 the Justine was christened in her honor. Brown retired in 1966 after 53 years with the Curtis Bay Company.
In 20 years working in the Baltimore Harbor, running charter boats and water taxis, Eggert studied tugboats. He now captains his own.
"Tugboats evoke an emotional response," Eggert writes in the book's foreword, and the rest of the 80-page book does just that through its powerful and sharp black-and-white photos and well-researched historical vignettes.
My father worked on tugs in Baltimore. I worked with Bill Eeggert on water taxis in Baltimore. I live in Florida and cannot find book. Friends and family in Baltimore can't get either. Any suggestions? Really want book and cd. Mike Wise

Thad Beaty's Road to Kona: On the Go and Fueled by Vegetables
There won't be any burgers along Thad Beaty's road to the IRONMAN World Championship. Here's how a celebrity athlete is getting there on the power of plants.
You might remember Thad Beaty, the guitarist for the multi-platinum duo Sugarland who finished his first IRONMAN last year in Arizona. After his mother was diagnosed with cancer, Beaty dropped 70 pounds in 18 months and raced IRONMAN Arizona to raise money for his foundation Music That Moves.
The Nashville-based musician was quickly hooked by triathlon, and this year his sights are set on the IRONMAN World Championship. In October, Beaty will cap off his role as a Kona Inspired spokesperson by toeing the line in Hawaii himself. (The Kona Inspired contest deadline has been extended to May 31st.)
What separates him from the hundred of others who'll do the same? In a word, his lifestyle, where six-hour trainer rides in tour buses and morning green smoothies are routine. We asked Beaty how he integrates IRONMAN training with a challenging schedule and diet choices.
IRONMAN: Why did you choose veganism over some of the other popular diets?
Thad Beaty: When my mom was diagnosed with cancer we jumped on the Internet to find whatever was classified as an "anti-cancer" diet. The first thing we did was buy a Vitamix, the blender that can turn a cinderblock into a smoothie. We'd have a smoothie for breakfast and a big salad for lunch, and whatever we'd normally have for dinner. We went with the idea of crowding out: If you eat more veggies you'll have less room for processed food. Slowly I started feeling better and better. My doctor has been astonished at the change in my blood pressure and cholesterol.
IM: How do you maintain your diet when you're on the road?
TB: On tour we have a chef who cooks for us, and fortunately I made nice with the catering crew early on. They started by making all the soups vegan, and then switched to olive oil or coconut oil instead of butter for the vegetables. On the road we've found great food in the most random places. We were in Montgomery, Ala, and I thought "Oh no what are we going to do here?" Turns out an herbal doctor had opened a raw resaturant in his practice. It was delicious.
IM: What are some of your go-to meals?
TB: We joined a CSA, where you buy a share, or a subscription, to what a farmer is growing. Every week you go and pick up a box of whatever's exploding in their garden. If we're home we just roast some veggies—throw broccoli, cauliflower, peppers and onions in the oven with some olive oil—and serve that over brown rice or quinoa.
IM: What else did going vegan change about your lifestyle?
TB: We made a big commitment to prioritize family after my mom went through cancer. Every Tuesday night we have a family dinner. It started with me and my wife, who's the bass player for Sugarland, and my brother. Then we started inviting friends and colleagues and other people we'd meet. My mom took all our Southern family recipes, the soul food and the things we grew up with, and learned how to make them all vegan and gluten-free. Some of the most delicious food I've eaten in my life has been through this transition. I don't ever feel deprived.
IM: When you can't cook, what products keep you full and nourished?
TB: I use a ton of Vega products. Brendan Brazier is a former pro triathlete who started the company, and I like their sport line of protein powders, bars and gels. Bonk Breaker bars and Picky Bars are both vegan and gluten-free as well. Whether it's hummus or trail mix, going vegan is easier than people think.
IM: What sorts of new nutrition challenges did IRONMAN training present?
TB: The protein question comes up constantly. My answer? During infancy, the most formative time of human development, we're only getting 5 percent of our calories from protein (that's the amount in mother's milk). In the typical Western diet, 40 percent of daily calories come from protein. I consume about 15 percent protein, from beans and nuts to protein powder. Focusing on fat is more of an issue for me. If I don't make a conscious effort to include healthy fats like olive oil and avocados, I'll dip more there.
IM: What about fueling during workouts?
TB: A lot of the convenient fueling options for long rides contain maltodextrin and processed sugars that don't sit very well in my stomach. I didn't do a great job of my nutrition plan for IRONMAN Arizona. When you go out on the bike, you're starting from zero. It simply never occurred to me that I needed to make up calories from the swim as soon as I got on my bike. I think I just started low and never really caught back up.
Right now I'm trying to build on everything I learned in Arizona. I'll gladly listen to any advice! I've learned that if what's on the race course works for you, that's the best bet. My stomach is used to Bonk Breaker bars now, as well as bananas. I'm trying to train with what will be convenient and available on the course.
Recipe: Thad Beaty's "Frog Swamp" Breakfast
Amounts are approximate and can be adjusted to taste. Blend the following in a Vitamix or other powerful blender:
frozen banana
frozen berries
baby carrots
fruit juice of your choice
almond milk
handful of spinach or kale
1 scoop Garden of Life raw protein powder
2 scoops Garden of Life superfood green powder
1 tsp. chia seeds
1 Tbsp macca powder
dash of cinnamon
water to adjust consistency

Hike Information
• Sunday, March 16: Old Fall River Road – Chasm Falls, the Friendly Bunch
• Rating: Easy A
• Hike details: Ascend the historic road that was originally the old Arapaho "Dog Trail". Observe glacial-carved geology on the way to effervescent Chasm Falls.
• Trail Mileage: 5
• Elevation Gain: 500
Old Fall River Road in Rocky Mountain National Park is a easy and accessible hiking route before it opens to automobile traffic, usually in early July. Many who hike the road do not realize it is a pathway of a historical and perhaps prehistoric significance. The Arapaho used the route as they migrated over the Continental Divide to the west. They called it the Dog`s Trail because the snow covered terrain allowed their dogs to pull travois. The area usually held the snow for long periods, even into the early summer months.
Endowvalley, located at the lower part of the road, was created by the snowmelt from the Mummy Range to its north, Trail Ridge to the south and the headwaters of Fall River Pass feeding Fall River. These rushing waters carved the valley.
The Shining Mountains Group of the Colorado Mountain Club March 16, sponsored hike will begin at the historic Endovalley campground. Hikers will traverse the switchbacks, visiting Chasm Falls along the way. From there, the group will decide how far it wants to go up the historic route that is rich in scenic vistas. There are a multitude of rewards for the hiker who ventures up the road. Included is a cornucopia of historical sites, the early spring wildflowers and fascinating glacial geological features.
The road was partially built by 38 convict laborers from the Colorado State Penitentiary. It was started in 1913 before the national park was established. By 1920, the road extended to Milner Pass. Building the road presented a real engineering challenge, as well as maintenance due to rock slides, excessive ground moisture, freezing and thawing.
Two areas along the slopes of Mt. Chapin almost regularly avalanched so much so that they were given names — the Fan Slide and the Old Faithful slide. Certain embankments eroded so much that wire baskets (gabions) were installed to retain the walls. Excellent examples of glacial polish on the granite, as well as solution pits or potholes, created by stones revolving and drilling in a whirlpool of side stream of the granite can be see along the way. These glacial features were created about the time the glaciers retreated.
The Hanging Valley of Sundance Mountain on the south, with the Thousand Falls of Sundance Creek, tumultuously fuming down the escarpment, is just one of the many captivating vistas to behold. At almost every twist and turn in the road, there will be delightful surprises to enjoy. Further up the historic road, the dramatic landmark known as Miner Bill`s Spire will be evident on the slopes of Mt. Chapin.
The spire is named after Bill Currence, an early and lengendary "local" character who prospected in the area in the early 1900s. Currence built a primitive cabin about two miles above Chasm Falls near Old Fall River Road. Today, evidence of some of his diggings on the mountain slope can be seen, History does not indicated he gained any material wealth from his prospecting ventures.

Self Esteem in Relationships
A healthy and happy relationship should be good for your self-esteem.
But it may be that your self-esteem wasn't great to begin with and although your partner makes efforts to compliment you and build you up somehow you just don't believe them!
Maybe you really love your partner but feel they are just too good for you and that you are 'lucky to have them'
Perhaps you feel it's just a matter of time before they reject you in favour of some one 'better!'
Perhaps your low self esteem in your relationship is even spoiling the relationship itself . Low self-esteem can manifest as you looking for signs that your partner has lost interest in you or prefers someone else or is only seeing you because they pity you.
Low self esteem and defensiveness
Sometimes low self esteem in relationships makes you defensive and feeling like you are being criticised when you are not! Low self-esteem can present as over-sensitivity.
Some people with very low self-esteem describe themselves as 'unlovable' and even say things like: 'He/She is only with me for sex/money/out of pity/duty/until they meet someone better!'
It could be the case that you were badly treated and psychologically abused by a previous partner who put you down, never said anything nice about you and made you feel worthless.
It's easy to suffer lowered self-esteem when we've been in a relationship like this.
But if we take these 'old feelings' into a new relationship then they can really get in the way of a satisfying relationship.
This is like a bird that has been caged for many years finally having the cage door released but, out of habit, not yet realising that it can now actually fly free!
Maybe a part of you kind of envies your partner's confidence or ease with themselves.
Imagine what it will be like to truly value yourself and be able to feel the reality of your partners love and respect for you because you feel that it is right and reasonable for them to feel positively towards you.

No, I Will Not Fix Your Computer T-Shirt
Tell Them How You Really Feel
Why is it that knowing a lot about computers makes you everybody's little helper? Show them in no uncertain terms that they're on their own with their boxes. Let ThinkGeek tell your friends and family how you really feel.
There is nothing more frustrating on this Earth than constantly being asked to help other people with their petty computer problems. Of course, if your job description dictates that you have to fix other peoples computers, then there is nothing so frustrating as being forced to do so. ;)
- "I don't have a modem and can't connect to the Internet. Can you fix this?" (This example gives you some idea how long we've sold this shirt.)
- "Can you fix my wifi? It keeps telling me it can't find the printer, but I can see it. It's right here."
- "My computer told me to upgrade, and I did, and now nothing works."
The statement "No, I will not fix your computer." is printed in white ink on the front of this black 100% cotton shirt. Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low or lay flat to dry. Imported.

stooping to hate speech, the lowest of the low
According to him the USA is: "Fighting terrorists in Iraq because they're successors to Fascists, to Nazis, to Communists.."
But Iraq had no terrorists, you got them there..
- Nazi Terrorists subliminiminal
But Islam is a religion of tolerance and Islam did not attack you, few extremists did..
- Islamic Fascists subliminiminal
Why fight successors when you have real communist China and North Korea taunting you..
- Islamic communists nazi fascists subliminiminal
Oh I get it now, this is the new game in town
Tie up the word Islam with everything the public fears and hate, have Rumsfeld and other parrots repeat it, appear to be heroes liberating the world from an old enemy, get the public support to fill up your own pocket and lube it with oil that is not yours while you are at it, brilliant.
Want to bet what is next on their propaganda agenda?
Expect to hear the words "Islamic Supremacy" a lot, if you do, come back and tell me that I was right, it is the next logical step in a well calculated neo-Zionist totalitarian plan by the elite that currently govern the USA.
Be careful what you label people, they might look it up and find it to be a good idea given enough injustice and pressure, if coal can turn to diamond with pressure and heat, humans are not stronger.
Stop feeding your people hate speech, in the process they will hate themselves and you for it. Do the decent thing, give the world peace or go eat another pretzel.

Send him a case of pretzels and leth them have a pretzel fest at a cabinet meeting....do us all a favor, save us the trouble of impeaching the whole lot of them.
Bush doesn't know that inherent in the definition of the word fascist, is the word state. A religion, cannot be fascist, only a state can be fascist. If he looked in the mirror....
- Julie said...
ps. I have come to the conclusion, after careful study, that Karl Rove, the neocons and the Zionists went to the Joseph Goebbels school of public relations. It's all about the message, the message, the message.
Before you know it, the U.S. TV stations will be stopping a few times a day and forcing the people to watch the one minute hate speech as in 1984.
It's getting very depressing here.

I am writing this to call attention to a website set up to document atrocities committed by the Israeli army against the people of Lebanon and the occupied territories, Gaza most particularly. If you know anyone from these areas or have a firsthand account you can provide about the border issues, demolitions, human rights violations and indiscriminant killings, please go to this website and contribute. You can find more about it at info
the website is mmseyewitness
Please spread the word, now is the time to take action while the world is focused on Israel's heavyhandedness during the Lebanon war. Please help us, help the people of Palestine and Lebanon.

Yes it is a new game in town, and a dangerous one at that. Where are leaders with vision and courage? Where is common sense, humility and integrity?

The good news is - the American people are pissed. We're sick of corruption, lies, thieves, pedophiles and just downright self-serving #!#(>#$% running the country.
They're in for a big surprise come November 7 - and don't listen to the media - they are clueless as to what the people really think. I wouldn't be suprised if they were all voted out. And if the Republicans win in all the close races,everyone will know the election was fixed again.
How do you get U.N. election monitors in?

As a student of Okinawan Karate Kenpo Kobudo under Renshi Robyn Rush, Mr. Uly achieved the rank of Sandan, 3rd Degree Black Belt, in February 2018.
Mr. Uly continues to broaden his mind, body and spirit by also cross training in Muay Thai and participating in boot camp, core and fitness classes.
His proudest achievement has been watching his daughter and son on their own martial arts journeys proving his mantra that "The family that kicks together, sticks together!" They too are students in the Kenpo program at CMMA.
Outside of martial arts Mr. Uly works with school districts all over the country providing online literacy solutions aimed at helping kids become better readers. He is a firm believer that literacy is the cure for poverty and provides the opportunity for every child to change their stars.
For close to two decades, Mr. Panhorst wanted to learn practical and tacPcal self-defense techniques. He eventually found the eclecPc form of Hap Ki Do taught by Master McGowan. He began his journey in 2011, was presented his black belt in 2014, and earned his second degree the following year.
Mr. Panhorst likes showing people how effecPve and fun Hap Ki Do can be and teaches it with his own perspecPve. He really enjoys helping students develop skills to escape from threatening situations.
Mr. Panhorst is almost always at boot camp in the mornings and is perpetually learning Muay Thai. Someday, he'll become a frequent parPcipant in Brazilian Ju Jitsu classes.
When not teaching a class, taking a class, bringing his daughters to a class, or driving his daughters' car pool, he's running his business, solving technology problems for his clients. Mr. Panhorst received his computer science degree back when tablets were things made out of stone. He enjoys running the trails at South Mountain and pretending to be proficient with musical instruments.

Team of the 2000s: #1 – North CarolinaPosted by rtmsf on August 21st, 2009
Ed. Note: check the category team of the 2000s for our other entries in this feature.
And so we reach the pinnacle. Ladies and gentlemen, prep yourselves, as this will come as a complete shocker… but your #1 program of the last decade is the North Carolina Tar Heels. We know that you were probably thinking it was Gonzaga or Pittsburgh, but alas, the fine programs from Washington and Pennsylvania will have to wait another decade for the RTC Good Hoopskeeping seal of approval.
Be sure to check back Monday as we'll do some clean-up on the series, including a look at some of the programs who just missed the top ten.
#1 – North Carolina
Overview. Maybe we should just call it the Decade of Roy Williams. After all, most of Carolina's success in the 2000s is directly attributable to Ol' Roy. If you consider his 111 more wins at Kansas, three more trips to the NCAA's second weekend and two additional F4s in the decade, you're looking at a coaching juggernaut. But Roy isn't North Carolina and UNC isn't Roy – it only feels that way. This is about UNC, and despite a one-season blip in 2001-02 that time has forgotten, mostly accounting for their relatively poor overall winning percentage, the Heels have the goods in almost every other way. Were they as consistent as Duke or Michigan State? Nope. Were they as much of a conference titan as KU or their hated rival in Durham? Nope again. But their numbers stack up very well in all categories across the board, and they've utterly dominated the second half of the 2000s in much the same way that Duke/Kentucky lorded over their respective halves of the 90s. From 2005-09, the Heels have won two national championships with completely different casts, went to another F4, lost in OT in an Elite Eight and lost in the second round against the biggest Cinderella of the last quarter-century. Not. Too. Shab. The Heels didn't have as much success during the first half of the decade, but they still managed to tack on another F4 as an absurd #8 seed in 2000, as well as two other second round appearances and an NIT appearance. All the while continuing to produce a slew of all-americans and NBA draft picks. What separates Carolina in our eyes is the second championship that Roy hung next to the others in 2009. Florida's 06/07 back-to-back was extremely impressive, because everyone knows just how difficult it is to repeat in college basketball. But in our view, it's even more impressive to endure massive defections of NBA talent the likes of which UNC had from 2005-07 and still be able to climb the mountaintop a mere four years later. A reasonable argument could be made that UNC was the best team in the country in four of the last five seasons (2005, 2007, 2008, 2009), and it wouldn't necessarily render you a nutjob to contemplate it. So North Carolina is our choice for the top program of the 2000s, and with the second championship currently shimmering in the Chapel Hill sunlight, we're not convinced that any other school should be higher.
Pinnacle. The 2005 national championship. Just three short years removed from the worst Carolina season in modernity (more on this later), UNC was once again the king of the college basketball world. What seemed a million and one miles away under Matt Doherty's tenure felt like a natural outcome under the coolest of cats, Roy Williams. One of the very proudest fanbases in America could once again claim basketball supremacy, and after what they had been through, it must have felt like raining gold coins from heaven. Carolina's fourth national championship team was led by Sean May, Rashad McCants and Ray Felton, but it was a long, lean freshman by the name of Marvin Williams who saved the Heels from a trademarked (at the time) Roy collapse when he rebounded a wild reverse layup from the sometimes-erratic McCants and punched it back in for a 72-70 lead. A Felton steal later and several desperation three attempts by the Illini, and the monkey was most definitely off of Roy's back. His back is so light right now that he turned around and did it again in 2009 and looks primed to have several more shots at it before he retires a Carolina hero.
Tailspin. Without question, the 2001-02 UNC team represents the worst season for a traditional powerhouse school in two decades. But just as Duke was Team of the 1990s despite the Pete Gaudet Incident; UNC made up for its one bad year with plenty of success the rest of the decade. In ACC circles, UNC's record of 8-20 is still brought up as a euphemism for terrible. And that team was terrible – eight of their twenty losses were of the 20+ point variety as teams who had long been pushed around by UNC wasted no time in returning the favor, if only for a year. It began with three straight opening losses to the likes of Hampton, Davidson and Indiana, continued with a series of whippings by Kentucky, Maryland, Wake Forest, Duke and Ohio (at home), but the most embarrassing part of the entire season had to be the Heels' last game of the year in the ACC Tournament. Deciding that UNC simply couldn't stack up talent-wise with the defending national champion Blue Devils (who had defeated them by a total of 54 pts in their regular season meetings), Matt Doherty decided to slow the game down to a veritable crawl, holding the ball until under-ten on the shot clock before running a play. The typically entertaining and high-scoring Duke-Carolina showdown was bastardized into a 28-22 at the half Big Ten game. Doherty got one more year to turn the ship around, but a near-mutiny at the end of the 2002-03 season led to the Roy Williams era.
Outlook for 2010s: Grade: A+. Roy Williams is 59 years old and is showing no signs of slowing down. Unlike other coaches his age, he seems to embrace recruiting and it pays off year after year with NBA caliber talent coming through his program. By our count, Williams has recruited an absurd THIRTY McDonald's All-Americans in his twenty-one years of coaching (average: 1.4 per year) at Kansas and UNC, and there are no signs of this receding (14 at Carolina already, including four incoming freshman for 2009-10). Duke is the only other program with thirty or more. Furthermore, there's absolutely no chance of Williams taking any other job, NBA or college – he'll be at UNC until retirement. We fully expect UNC to continue to make F4s and compete for championships throughout the next decade, and the Heels may be right here on top of this list again ten years from now.

Thomas Phifer & Ryan Cody on
The 500 $180 Internal Testers Pledge Level are "All Gone"! Glad I got in when I did! :D
Can't wait for this game! Spread the word people!
blackdaze on
Well, in DAoC... it was possible for tanks and casters to be able to take on stealthers. My first open RvR kill on my champion was against a stealther in Darkness Falls He popped me and I happen to get my debuffs off and a good set of crits helped me get him down. The problem I guess is that not -all- of the classes really had a viable way to deal with stealthers but most had some options through RR or class abilities that gave them a chance.
I like having overpowered mages vs melee but not super overpowered. One thing about DAoC and the way it was setup is that mages were overpowered but they could be interrupted and at that point the overpowered mage is seriously hurting. And lower AC vs lower damage meant that melee could do really high damage to casters. However, caster damage could be toned down slightly from what it was in DAoC. It was too easy to get 3 shot kills in some cases which isn't all that tactical and more... WTH just happened.
David Schrank on
There is no place for long term stealth in a rvr game. One reason is it makes the non stealth classes have to be limited in formations. What this means is you cant have non clumpy players, they just die.
Second its just not fun for the other classes to be running back and just die for people who are hanging on the repoped people and ganking them. Dosen't work if you can see the wall of people waiting to kill you. It was an issue with DAOC.
Limited stealth where you have to come up with a plan and then get double speed and do damage isn't as bad and is more tatical.
The other problem with stealth is it attracts a small percentage of people who aren't into RVR at all they just like killing new players. Stealth and Overpowered mages will kill a PVP game real fast. Who want to repop,die,repop,die and pay 15 bucks a month to not make progress.
Alex Brown on
Will all players have name plates over there heads? This has been one gripe I've had with a few other games. I understand how convenient they will be and in some cases the purpose they serve, but with your work on a better engine the limitation of player models on the screen should be a thing of the past. I can imagine a stealth mech. that is based around choosing the right dyes to blend in to your background, and then throwing on a tabard during major combat to help assist in seeing who is a friend and who isn't.
Next friendly fire, I know griefing is never fun for the party being griefed, but in a true PvP based game I feel like this type of thing should at least be talked out. I could see an entirely different style of combat needed to be worked out if my AOE's also effected friendlies, and maybe even my AOE buffs helping enemies. Maybe both helping/hurting in a reduced amount so helping the enemy isn't really viable, but something so that if you run in your groups line of fire you know not to next time.
Thank you for your time, and thank you for all the updates, each time I get an email saying there is a new update my phone will never load fast enough.
Alessandro Matta on
This is not daoc2...i hope for a new game realistic (for fantasy) as much as possible. All good things in daoc should be implemented in CU better than daoc (no gcd-interrupts-cc-caps-etc..)
Richard Ervik on
Want be able shape into a bear like the berserker class i dark age of camelot.
also want pet classes.
Tenacious on
A little question on another subjet : You said Mark that there will not be pet-classes at start ( for performance purpose ). If one day you decide that this game could handle pet-classes, is there any chance of having something like that wonderful and so unique classe you created for DAoC : the theurgist ?
I fell in love with that classe on DAoC, and have never been able to play such a specific gameplay on any other game. I miss that ! :)
Alexander Jenner on
I hope one can log out inside TD and login again after possession switch. Was one of the cool things in DF to login your shade and harass the possessing side.
Chris Norton on
@MJ - Totally read "part Giger" as part ginger and thought that you wanted TD to be a soulless, haunted thing of pure red-headed evil. Could be scary, like MMORPG.com forums scary.
Sax on
I don't understand how people could miss "no PvE leveling or loot drops, except if controlled by a player, there will be some exp" in your previous update.
You have added LODing in 3 days that's nice, but it would be even nicer to be able to see it in a video.
"DAoC has killspam in your chat channel." (xavier muylaert)
This. It created much hate/pride in DAoC, depending on what side you were playing.
To the concerns of one realm being stronger than the other two: Usually the two other realms would fight against the leading realm at two different fronts. That's one of the reasons we were looking for "TriRealm". (Malicious tongues say that if in DAoC the leading realm was way too strong or overpopulated, etc., the other two realms would even confederate for a short period of time).
Daniel Elmatari on
And animal fats bring plenty of other things besides lipids, don't they Brandon?
Brandon Barker on
As a scientist studying nutrition, I have to say the Atkins diet is on the right track in many regards. A more balanced approach might be the primal diet, or some other paleo-type diet. Here's another Mark that had a big impact on my life:
As for people saying you need carbs ... this is pretty much false. You do need lipids and amino acids, however. And the world of lipids is quite complex and largely overlooked.
All the best,
Jonathon Baxa on
341, pretty dang nice!
Mario R. (Lesani) on
Yes :) give us a copy of smackhammer and let us test that server code you are always talking about!! :)
larry gaugh on
I agree, would love to play some SmackHammer haha!
MJ, glad to hear you lost 30 pounds and wish you luck in losing more! But let me just say I HATE the Atkins diet--your body needs those carbs. Ultimate fitness comes from a balanced, healthy diet and finding an exercise that you truly love. I'll come down from Maryland anytime ;)
xavier muylaert on
can we participate in SmackHammer :p ?
xavier muylaert on
give new movie with the improved engine, not just a screenshot pls :p
xavier muylaert on
@Brandon De VITO
GW2 w3 = player vs anonymous
DAoC has killspam in your chat channel.
you see/know who killed you/a zerg.
notoriety comes by itself as a result in DAoC (and hopefully in CU).
seeing a lot of "(random playername) has been killed by 'playername' " is rewarding and makes you a prime target.
Alienami on
I am continually impressed... Seriously, I want to freeze myself until the game comes out or find a time machine...
Also, yes, the Atkins diet or similar is great. I lost 30 lbs by doing no to low carbs, low calorie, high protein, and taking Alive brand vitamins. (Starving yourself of calories, but, giving yourself everything else you need) -- You can also look into metabolism boosting herbs and spices and stuff like cinnamon pills to keep blood sugar level (Level blood sugar = faster weight loss) -- Stick with it, but sometimes a little cheating isn't bad.
Brandon De VITO on
Additionally, has the team considered a bounty system? If a player is successfully gaining a reputation (via some tracked stat) for slaughtering the masses it would be neat if they received a bonus to their gameplay. That said, if 'Marco the Crusher' is off murdering lower level characters by the thousands, it would be neat if there was a bounty board that was either funded by players, or created automatically by the system. The though of being so notorious that I had a hit out on me is a neat thought. For ever hour that I don't get 'equalized' I get a stipend of some kind in the form a stacking buff. But when I finally go down, the person who got me gets a reward as well. If there are no NPCs, fame comes from being the best, or worst in the realm. And there's a satisfaction in knowing the game is, in some way, centered around you. DAOC's Relic System, Bounty Boards, and Statues of Player who take down massive enemies are just some of the great ways to make this happen. When you say completely player driven and persistent, the effect on the player becomes more external than internal. I want to SEE my effect on the world.
Brandon De VITO on
If I may be so bold, one of the fantastic things that Guild Wars II came up with was the instancing of craft nodes per player. I figure, if a realm has access to a node, and there are 3100 players in range, they should ALL be able to hit it. But only once. If that node doesn't respawn for a long while, then it inventivizes returning to other locations, and lowers the strategic value of a location en masse as 'just a crafting hub'. The thought that I can never get screwed out of a node is a pleasant one. If I can't see it, it's because I've hit it too recently. I also like the concept of buffing unrelated content... if I hit a crafting node 10 times, I should get a buff which makes my realm XP go up faster for a time. Likewise, I believe that there should be a bonus to crafting if I've recently murdered a flock of players. These systems inspire players to not hang out and just wait for the content they like to be opened up.

MJ is a god among men, the game hasn't even be created yet and realm pride is already coarsing through my veins!

@Treatise: They're the same thing. PCM = Player Controlled Monster, MPC = Monster Player Character.
Both acronyms for when a player is controlling an NPC in The Depths.
Harry Torque on
Please explain the acronyms. What are PCMs? What are MPCs?
Curtis Miller (Gylnne) on
Great update everyone! Thanks for all your hard work.:)
boxfetish [Mr. Safety] on
@MJ. Please don't listen to those clamoring for more safe zones, reduction in opportunities for RvR, or for mechanics that allow them to play the game "RvR only at a time and place of my choosiing!".
I am confident your foundational prinicples run contrary to this but that doesn't mean that there won't be constant demands for these things over the next two and a half years. Stay true!
Jiiub Rorgash on
@Hersaints, for one they have already said that there will be NO insta stealth skills in the game, so i doubt that will be a problem
Corinthian on
@Tenebrus - I think that's a very valid concern. Hopefully the team at CSE will have much more in-depth details on combat in a coming update.
Tenebrus on
I don't want to come off as contentious, so I should caveat my previous statement with the fact, I know it is early, so there may not be any concrete system or mathematics in place. So I am not looking for anything super specific like mathematical algorithms or anything, just some general theories on how things are going to work.
Barn Bocock on
Like all PvP/RvR based objectives in games two concerns that pop into my head this morning:
How to motivate a ridiculously underdog team to actually come PvP if an objective/zone is held by a crazy overpopulated, dominant faction (so that it's fun for all sides fun ie the holding team gets to fight rather than just standing around and the fewer attackers still get a chance, plus rewarded/encouraged to try and make a dent).
Stopping of "carebear" objective swapping eg they take a tower, then you take it back, then they take it back without actually bothering to really PvP. I guess this is avoiding players finding the path of least resistance to gain easy rewards or XP.
I say these thoughts with coming from most recently The Secret World with the ups & downs of their Fusang Projects three faction PvP zone.
Great updates - very excited to see the next 18 days...
Tenebrus on
My concern is that the cart is getting put before the horse. This isn't a "content is king" game, or so I am led to believe. There seems to be a concentration of thought on some stretch goal that may or may not happen rather than any serious info release on what this game is supposed to be about, and that is combat: PvP, RvR... Not that this TD thing doesn't sound cool, but I want to know "how am I going wage war" rather than what I am supposed warring over. Just a thought.
Austin France on
I thought Andrew's aim was to support 500 characters not 500 FPS!
Sylvain Durola on
At each update, I'm even more convinced that Andrew is amazing.
CU inc! hib/pry on
Interesting stuff indeed!
boxfetish [Mr. Safety] on
Like the pics and the answers! Still hopeful that we will be able to logout when we have realm control and login when we don't and still be inside of TD to cause havoc. I notice you kind of dodge the question on whether this DF functionality would be present. I am confident it will be...but with an unintended twist!

Cityscape: Commerce Building
It may read "Commerce Building" on its north-facing tympanum, but San Antonio history buffs know the building as the first Alamo National Bank. According to the National Register of Historic Places archive, the Alamo National Bank received its charter in 1891 but didn't have a building to call its own until this one in 1902.
In 1913, the widening of Commerce Street began to accommodate more traffic. In 1915, the Alamo National Bank was moved south 16 feet, 7 inches using a jack-and-roll system.
In 1929, the bank moved to its new location at 105 S. St. Mary's St., today the Drury Plaza Hotel. The Commerce Building currently houses offices.
Cityscape is a weekly look at a building or place that makes San Antonio distinct. Comments or suggestions are welcomed at firstname.lastname@example.com.
