Summer holidays 2007, My brother asked me to tryout a new game with him and one of our friends (Amatarazu), we played a locked game with the 3 of us, I totally sucked there compared how I play now, yet it was the most fun game I've had until now.
My second game was some random ffa with a couple of guys, I didn't do that bad but being in the uk and fighting 2 players I got owned pretty quickly.
in that time I didn't get to know people really but I got familiarized with some of the names such as Keira, Hallali, Warlord(or something),Jynxxx.
Signed up for the ladder ranking system got lucky beating hmmm, Hallali would soon beat me off that spot again though.
Then more people came into play, I played my first teamgame with Jenny and some others but I didn't like it that much at that moment also because I lost :). Then end 2007 begin 2008 a lot of people started playing teamgames and met a lot of great players, Izzlekizzle who destroyed me at hammer time in a 3v3, Master got back into playing and very fast became the best, Dirtyharry came into play also very fast became a strong player.
A lot of teamgames were going on also the gold bug abuse got into play and the overpaying your soldiers bug as well. I finally got some decent tactics going on and perfected those, signed up for the tournament 2008 which was a succes all together, unfortunately no gold medal for Paars. :)
After that, in the end of summer 2008 I started playing less and since then I haven't really got an idea whats up in the conquerorgame community. I still like to play now and then but its not the same as it used to be, there's no new things to invent and so also less competetive playing around.
I would like to put down a list of people I met during my conquerorgame career, but it would take me to long and I'd probably forget lots of names so I don't.(Also I'm lazy as hell)
That's about it.

I think I played my first game around 2004 or so. Just played against AIs, to learn the rules of the game. Someone with the alias 'peasant' introduced me to the game. He told me that farming and developing were important. After a couple of games, beating AIs became a bit boring, and joining ffas (the only kind of games around) with other players was the next step. After a month or so, I got sick of the many bugs crashing the game, and I didn't play for about a year or so.
When I got back, Nelson was ruling in the game, although I saw some amazing play by Comnenus, ReverendKwon, Tormann. A bit later also derKaiser. The money bug was already in swing back then, I think, because some players managed to generate lots of armies turn after turn, even when having just a few lands. Someone once asked me how I built so many farms in one land, in one turn, and as I had just switched production there from a fort to farms, I guess I hit upon the trick of speed farming, although I never used that deliberately. The game was still buggy, and when thinking of a good alias, I thought my alias should refer to this nuisance: empError was born.
I was never much concerned with the bugs people were talking about. I do remember Nelson proclaiming that advancing your capital as soon as possible was the trick to victory. I didn't get the concept of influence, and often developed rebellious lands far from my cap. I bought lots of development, as I didn't like waiting for more than 2 turns for something to be produced. My tactics in the ffa's consisted of staying away from AIs, moving towards human players. The rule of conduct was to not play with 2 vs 1. Once the neutral lands were taken, it was often a matter of developing, and hoarding money, and then picking the most annoying AI, to take out its cap. If there were no AIs, you'd have to pick a human player, if you were not picked yourself. When war started, I'd quickly buy all the troops I could afford, and many opponents were thus swiftly conquered.
Then the age of team games started. I missed the start of it, maybe it started during another break I had in my conqueror-playing. It took me a while before I realized that with only human players, you had to spend all your money. I changed some of my tactics, based on the advice of better players, e.g. to not buy development. It has taken me long to drop some of this advice again, realizing that they may have been better only because of the money-spending.
The most difficult part of team games, however, is to find a good balance between expanding and developing.
I think I am now playing more than ever, and I have even started posting in the forums, as some of you might have noticed.

"I'm great, me." LOL
I think you secretly like Rippe really and Rippe probably conceals a grudging regard for you. ... Why don't you both kiss and make up for 'auld lang syne' ?
Come on, pucker up and bury the hatchet, you know you both want to. :-X

I remember the first year I played as attack and never spoke with anyone, and didn't farm or advance a land for like half a year, back in 2005. So for those who are hard on new players, remember what it was like whenever you started!

I started in 2005 right near the end of the speed farming era, Played with all the big players over the years. And as it seems yet to make a name for myself. To those of you who remember me it makes me smile.
In 2006, I would refer myself as a very good player on occasion. I was holding up and learning with the best of them. The gold bug age was my favorite time and it mattered not that there were no team games at the time because bigger games were filling up.
ffa's were becoming full of players and diplomacy/backstabbing was a wonderful part of playing.
In 2007 Team games were starting to appear in the form of clans versus clans. Only problem was you couldn't keep enough clan members on at anytime to play them very much.
I started the generals, which later become the kings. Some great players actually decided to join along with me. Such as Nelson, Icadil, emperror, born-avenger, paranoia, tystorm and adrien.
Things went off to a great start, but I couldn't keep it all together.
Tried starting other clans later on but nothing ever took off.
2008 and on I was just glad to be part of the community well recognized in team games, on all the time, it was great. Loved playing with master, paars, hallali, Oz, xuul, capt_planet, liquid, shotz, G, nelson, sovereign, Comnenus, Rippe, atlas, adrien, myopia, emperror, madman, squeegie, agent_orange and many many others. whom I feel obligated to mention.
Now, saddened that the community is small. I miss 3 team games running simultaneously. Hope to see more play and look forward to this years tourney if it is even worth having one.

Hah, I remember that attack stunning stuff. And there were no images for forts, keeps, and castles. They were represented by a horizontal line underneath the number!
Guess I first found this place in 2003 then. Yes that feels right, I was linked to the game. Messed around with it for a bit off and on, but probably didn't get too far into testing out the game and seeing the best way to develop and such. That came later in 2005 when I really started to test out the game to find tricks and the best methods for developing.

Hey I'm Malakira started playing sometime about 28 months ago I remember being a complete newbie at the time which is normal i suppose, but also the infamous quitter of that time period, over the years I studied the strategies of various players like Leres, Eph, and Paars. I have to mention Lolcracker as he was my rival at the time both learning from Sir Edwin even though we all technically were horrible at playing. Now I guess I earned myself a reputation of being adept at the game, lets bring this back, bring the community back.

At last year's Confoo conference in Montreal, I attended a number of talks where front-end folks were bashing Twitter Bootstrap. They came up with reasons for not using it:
- Bootstrap sites all look the same.
- Bootstrap is too heavy and gives you too much stuff.
- Bootstrap is hard to override.
I've now come to the conclusion that these practitioners are dead wrong. There are many reasons for using Bootstrap and why you should consider just standardizing on it. At Ballistiq, we've just decided to stick with Bootstrap, and I wanted to report that the benefits far outweigh any negatives (and there aren't many).
Are you using Bootstrap correctly?
Most people just aren't using Bootstrap the right way. Most folks just download the Bootstrap minified distribution files and use those. Instead, you should be using the Bootstrap source (the LESS or SCSS files) and using it as a framework for your CSS.
An easy way to get the latest source files for Bootstrap is to use Bower.
$ bower install bootstrap
$ bower install bootstrap-sass
Once you have the files, graft Bootstrap into your own CSS using an
@import statement. Override the Bootstrap variables with your own. Use a tool such as CodeKit to compile the LESS/SCSS files.
When you integrate Bootstrap as a framework, it becomes an extremely powerful and flexible tool in building UI's. With a few minor changes to variables, you can create completely different looking UI's. For example, you might prefer the look of Zurb Foundation (which doesn't have as many components as Bootstrap). That's literally a 1 min change to Bootstrap's default variables. Just import the Open Sans font from Google and set that as the default font, change the default font size to 16px and set the default border radius to 0px and bam, you have a Zurb looking Bootstrap.
Why Standardize on Bootstrap?
For us, standardizing on Bootstrap as a framework has helped in so many ways:
1. We're working with one CSS styling language. In the past, we were working with a whole myriad of different and custom CSS frameworks. Now, we're focused on a single styling language which speeds everything up. Rather than looking up CSS or trying to style it ourselves, we already know the common classes and we're just speedily prototyping pages and putting iterations in front of the customer. The speed and efficiency from using Bootstrap has been a huge win.
2. Handling edge cases Bootstrap is a mature framework that has many contributors worldwide and thousands of websites using it. This means that most edge cases have been resolved.
3. Many components — even the ones you haven't thought of using yet Bootstrap has so many different components that it makes working with clients much faster and easier. I was in an unfortunate situation with one project where our front-end developer had convinced me (when I didn't know better) to write his own CSS. When I needed a new component like a table, it hadn't been designed or styled! It had to go through a design process then a markup process. It took forever to get anything done. With Bootstrap, they've thought of 90% of the things that you will need on a web application.
Debunking the Myths
- "Bootstrap sites all look the same." No they don't. By changing a few variables you can get a vastly different looking site.
- "Bootstrap is too heavy and gives you too much stuff you don't need." This is also a myth. You can remove components easily by just removing them from the main
- "Bootstrap is hard to override". Because you're using it wrong. You're just downloading the CSS and trying to override it. Try downloading the source files in LESS/SCSS and use Bootstrap as a framework instead.
The Bootstrap naysayers have no legs to stand on in their arguments. Their only valid reason for not wanting to use Bootstrap is that they just want to write their own CSS.

VIRGIN GALACTIC ROCKET SHIP REACHES SPACE, A MILESTONE IN SPACE TOURISM - A Virgin Galactic spacecraft flew more than 50 miles above the Mojave Desert in California on Thursday morning, climbing into the edge of space for about a minute, a crucial milestone in the race to make big-business space tourism a reality.
The craft, SpaceShipTwo, soared at speeds topping out at 2.9 times the speed of sound — around 2,200 miles per hour — through nearly three layers of Earth's atmosphere to reach space, the company said. SpaceShipTwo topped out at an altitude of 51.4 miles, just surpassing the Federal Aviation Administration's definition of where space begins but lower than the widely accepted boundary of 62 miles.

THE PENTAGON IS DECLASSIFYING LOTS OF INFO ABOUT WHAT'S IN ORBIT - Not many people need direct access to what the U.S. military calls "space situational awareness," a fancy term for knowing what man-made objects are in space, and where. But those with an eye on Earth's orbit now have access to a trove of never-before-seen data about space objects that before now the government has kept secret.
The declassification effort, announced in October, yielded another release of data last week. "This is us being transparent, leaning forward and trying to enhance that spaceflight safety through data sharing," Col. Scott Brodeur, the director of the Combined Space Operation Center, tells Popular Mechanics. More

THIS IMAGE OF SPAIN IS THE FIRST FROM AN ALL-SEEING SATELLITE CONSTELLATION BY STARTUP ICEYE - Satellite startup ICEYE is riding a wave of success this year. Just days after its launch, the company got back its first image from ICEYE-X2, its second satellite. The company gave CNBC an exclusive look at the image on Monday.
The first ICEYE-X2 image shows the mountainous areas of Spain's Basque Country at night. Forest, roads and agriculture are visible in the image, which contains over 500 square kilometers, captured at a resolution of 3 by 3 meters. That's the expected, medium resolution for a high-powered satellite, but ICEYE packed that power into a suitcase-sized satellite. The X2 satellite was launched by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket last week on the record-breaking "SmallSat Express" mission for Spaceflight Industries. More

When I ordered them from the River Island website, I also bought a dark beige cotton biker jacket. It was reduced from £60 to £25 and looked really nice online.
I suspect that my first error was that it was described as dark beige. I mean... that doesn't sound too attractive as a colour, does it?
When the parcel arrived and I unwrapped the jacket from its celophane cocoon, it wasn't so great. The material was cheap and the shape was really unflattering. I didn't even try it on and I could see that!
One of the great things about ordering from River Island's online store is that you can make returns to any branch. I think this is a policy now being adopted by a lot of highstreet stores with online outlets - which is pretty much all of them, right?
Anyway, when I took my unwanted purchase into my local shop, I spotted a tee that I couldn't resist. Especially with fesitval season imminent.
How perfect??
And now it's mine.
Glastonbury kicks off for me on 22nd June. Bring it on!

Oil Blending Trick to Try
Supercharge your skincare and liquid bases by adding a few drops of your favourite face oil to enhance their nutrients and hydrating properties. A drop of Chantecaille's classic Rose de Mai oil works wonders in foundation, creating a more fluid consistency for blending without sacrificing coverage. Add three drops to moisturisers and serums and five to masks to boost its efficacy and leave you with a radiant glow.
Those with congested skin and hesitant to try oils, should opt for Aesop's Fabulous Face Oil that absorbs quickly for a matte finish. Start cautiously with one or two drops while you perfect your own signature formulation.

Discussion in 'Buying Tips, Advice and Discussion (archive)' started by dogday, Jan 18, 2005.
What's that about?
More info on your problem please.
the connector itself works fine. it's whether the iPod would physically fit in (and be supported by) different "generation" docks.
iPod (3G and 4G), iPod mini and iPod photo all have the same connector at the bottom.
I know the 40GB 4G iPod won't fit in the dock for a 20GB 3G iPod. They have to be close in size (the dock opening and the bottom of the iPod) so it can stand up without putting all that pressure on the connector.
Connector is the same. But the two generations changed thicknesses. So, you might damage/break your 3G dock by jamming a 4G iPod into it.
You're fine if it's a 15/20 GB 3G dock and and a 20 GB iPod 4G. However, if the sizes are different (15 GB and 20 GB together, and 40 GB are the other group), you'll have a problem. The thickness only changed by a millimeter, so you're fine in that way.
I use the dock from my old 30GB 3rd-gen iPod with my 60GB iPod Photo all the time just fine. What seem's to be the problem, dogday?
According to Mactracker (which needs to be updated), the 30GB iPod was/is 0.73" (18.5mm) deep. Apple says the iPod photo is 0.75" deep. That's probably within the tolerances designed into the dock, which is why you have no problem using your new iPod in it.
Hey guys. I was just about to buy a 4G, when I read on amazon (and then later Apple) that I would need the 4G dock, I already have the 3G so I dont want to waste more money buying another.
I had the 20GB 3G iPod, I will be getting the 4G 20GB iPod. So will the 4G fit in the 3G dock?
I've put a 4G 20GB in the dock for my 3G 30GB. It worked just fine. It was a little loose, but I wasn't worried about breaking anything.
the 20GB 4G is exactly (or nearly) the same depth as the 3G, so it should work just fine.
my 3G dock for my 3G 40gb iPod works fine with the 20, or 40 gb 4G iPods.
a friend's 3G 20gb dock works fine with the 20gb 4G iPod too...

A white witch is pursued across time by her nemesis, a sorcerer who may also have been Jack the Ripper.
Stretching her tale over several centuries, British-based Brackston brings energy as well as commercial savvy to her saga of innocence and the dark arts. Young Bess Hawksmith is a teenager in Wessex in 1627 when the Black Death arrives in her village, killing her father, brother and sister. Bess's survival is a miracle which her mother, Anne, a healer and midwife, won't discuss, although it involves local man Gideon Masters, to whom Bess turns for protection when Anne is arrested for witchcraft and sentenced to hang. But Gideon is a warlock with plans to initiate Bess and then join forces with her. She evades him but uses his magic to escape her own death sentence, then finds herself condemned to an eternity of making amends, with Gideon in pursuit. As a nurse in Victorian London she encounters Masters in two guises, one of whom Bess suspects of savagely murdering prostitutes in Whitechapel. In 1917, on the battlefields of World War I, Bess tends wounded soldiers and finds a man who loves and understands her, but Gideon intervenes again. A contemporary narrative shows Bess befriended by a teenager who becomes her pupil, assisting at the all-female confrontation with Gideon, a fight of elemental proportions.

The two time European Champions Juventus ousted reigning champions Real Madrid from the UEFA Champions League.
Can the Old Lady somehow beat Barcelona who are arguably the best team in the world at the moment.
The Serie A champions know that they cannot out pass Barca, nor can they win the possession battle against the Catalan giants.
Hence, Juve must be solid at the back give the opponents no space to maneuver. On the other hand, the Italians must not waste chances as with the defensive approach, highly unlikely they will get many.
Here is how Barcelona may line up against Juve.
As far as the team news for Juventus is concerned, there is absolutely no injury or suspension worry for the finalists.
Vidal should be playing behind Morata and Tevez while Marchisio, Pogba and Pirlo should take the midfield role.
Here is how Juventus will line up versus Barcelona.

Achieving Sustainable Website Success through Its Design – Is It Possible?August 3, 2015 • By guestpost
Having a keen eye for detail and creating websites with an effective and appealing design is what everyone expects from successful web designers. They have to be consistent in their endeavour to achieve sustainable website designs and for this, they use some common traits present in some of the most successful website designs that can be lent to every portal. Let us take a look at some of these traits to get a better perspective.
Entwining SEO Principles into its Design
If you think that a wonderful design alone determines the success of a website, then you haven't been paying attention. A successful website not only appeals to the visitors but also ranks well in the search results. This is what generates more footfalls and therefore, enhances the conversion ratio. This is where you need to implement certain SEO principles in the web design. You can have best of both worlds by taking the following steps:
- Make sure that the most important content on your website is in HTML text format because more often than not, images and other non-text elements on a web page are skipped by web crawlers.
- Web crawlers are also known to crawl links and search for relevant content. So, give web crawlers easy access to your website navigation. This will get your web pages listed in the search engines' index. Including an XML sitemap is a great step when you want to get your website indexed.
- Keywords are the building blocks of search process. Although SEO has come a long way ever since the use and targeting of keywords to improve web page rankings, using them is still a mainstay of various search engines' ranking algorithms. Therefore, focus on keywords while creating web pages and include organically in the text, meta, title etc.
Incorporating High-Quality and Unique Content
"Content precedes design. Design in the absence of content is not design, its decoration." – Jeffrey Zeldman.
This quote sums up the importance of content on a website and rightly so. Think of a website with all the 'bells and whistles' but poor quality of content. Even though such a website will attract visitors, do you think they are likely to stay on the site for a longer duration and take a call to action? We all know the answer.
High quality and unique content not only retains visitors in the long run, but also adds to the credibility of the website, which ultimately rubs off on the brand or the business. This explains why web content is getting a lot of emphasis nowadays. You also need to work upon presenting the content in a unique manner to engage, entertain and keep the target audience engrossed.
Some of the unique ways to present content on your website include but are not limited to:
- Beautiful illustrations – Unique, aesthetically pleasing illustrations help target audience connect with the website. It is refreshing for them to find something new on the site other than the usual text, banners and graphics. Also, many websites use illustrations (often hand-drawn) for storytelling purposes, which helps them engage visitors easily and effortlessly.
- Infographics – Infographics are the new graphs on the block. Create infographics relevant to your niche on your website as these are easy to read and can be customised in numerous ways. They are helpful in presenting information in an interesting manner, especially on minimalist websites.
- Interactive storytelling – Another way of presenting content uniquely on your website is Interactive Storytelling. It is a powerful approach, which can work more effectively than many visual elements put together on a web page since visitors always have the mindset moving forward with storytelling and unfolding more information instead of browsing the site.
- Large Videos – Have you come across websites, which have large images as their backgrounds? Well, a twist in the tale comes in the form of large videos in the background. Often, these videos provide a dynamic experience to the visitors, many of whom find it more convenient to view a video rather than to skim through lines of text on a website.
Use of Colors and creating Consistency
When you create color palettes to be used for your website, make sure that you test all the color combinations for contrast. This is essential to maintain readability for the visitors. You also need to check the color palette for 'body text contrast' so that your fonts do not get merged with the background. Pastel colors are in trend and so is bold colors and color blocking. It is up to you to select a palette, which is in-sync with the image of your brand or business.
Also, many a times, using the color of the logo on your website on the web pages is one of the ways to remind your target audience about your brand and business. It offers a color consistency, which makes them feel 'at home' when they visit your website and also gives it a more professional appearance. Apart from using the exact colors from your logo, experiment by varying the tone and the hue of the colors and using some other colors that complement and you will end up with astonishing results.
Alternatively, you can settle for a solid color background on your website if you want to go minimal and get a more polished appearance. It also helps visitors focus on the content and elements in the foreground, especially the CTA (call to action) buttons and maintain consistency on all the web pages.
Capability to integrate with Social Media
Social media integration is a fundamental of website design. Given the prowess of various social media platforms, your website design have to be in-sync with social media. There are many ways to integrate social media on your website.
First things first, place social media buttons/widgets on your web pages in such a way that they are easily visible to the target audience. This makes it easy for them to take a call to action such as clicking on the social media button or widget to share content such as product information or product demo with people in their network. Similarly, keep social media follow icons in the header or the footer area of the website, preferably on each and every page so that your visitors can click them and stay connected with you on their social media platforms.
Also, you can allow visitors to login via their social media accounts instead of creating a new account or registering upfront. This will surely earn you some brownie points from them, especially the first time visitors who are often sceptical about registering on a new website they just discovered.
Another option is to embed content from your social media accounts on the website. For instance, if you have a website that sells bakery goods, you can embed recipe videos, large images, create interesting infographic, snippets of interesting facts and make all these content sharable.
Wrap Up
These points will help you create unique website design, which helps you stand out from the crowd and achieve sustainable website success. In addition to these, make sure that your design is flexible to accommodate future changes. Have anything to add on the topic? Let us know your opinion via your comments.

interested in partnering with us?
Narrative Coffee is a hospitality driven, quality forward coffee bar located in downtown Everett, WA. We believe in our community, specialty coffee, and the power of sharing stories. We are normal folks who work hard to serve our guests in the best possible way we can. We also really love coffee. We are an ingredient forward establishment, meaning that to our estimation the most important factor in the end product is what goes into it. Coffee is the most crucial element to this equation as it's what we are building our business upon.
Our coffee program is simple and focused on giving us tools to serve our guests' needs to the best of our abilities. We work with three roasters at a time. We feature Velton's Coffee based here in Everett as our anchor roaster and have two other seats that rotate. We decide who we feature each month by cupping samples we receive from roasters from all over the world. We hold the deciding cupping a couple Sundays before the end of the month. At the bottom of this page, you'll find a schedule. Our decisions are based only on the offerings sent for consideration for each month as we choose specific, fresh crop coffees that fit within our menu.
Our espresso offerings rotate frequently and we hold two coffees on at a time, plus a decaf (please send us your favorite decaf too!). Our espresso and filter bar have a "tame" and a "wild" option every day. The tame selection is meant to be an easy drinking option suitable for just about everyone and should take cream and sugar well. It should still be complex enough to intrigue a seasoned coffee professional while being approachable to everyone. Here we are looking for a low to medium acid coffee with strong anchor notes and lots of sweetness. The wild option tends to be a more exploratory offering highlighting top notes, exotic flavors, or unique processing techniques with a medium to high acidity of sparkling quality.
We are in an area where specialty coffee is still relatively new to our regular guests but we are close enough to Seattle to attract a decent crowd of coffee enthusiasts on weekends. We are focused on offering our regular guests opportunities to explore coffee and learn about it, but also having a nice comfortable safety net. Because of this focus on exploration and new experiences, we are choosing to serve only single origin coffees at this time.
We source coffees by evaluating them on the cupping table. We look at roasters' offerings in total – we need at least three coffees that are viable for our menu from each roaster. Coffees should remind us of the origin of coffee as a tropical fruit and should exhibit a majority of these characteristics (keeping in mind the use of the coffees as stated above): clarity of flavor, cleanliness, brightness, sweetness, vibrancy, intrigue, complexity, ripeness of flavor, and balance.
We currently record all of the coffees we receive on an active and live database. All of the scores are uploaded every cupping and published on the web. We assign a random ID number to each roaster who sends us samples and you alone will be privy to your number, so while the data will be fully transparent, the names of companies will be private. This should enable functional and transparent feedback while keeping scores anonymous. We want to help create an open feedback loop so that we can all grow together! This system will continue to grow as we grow and may change from time to time.
As far as cupping preferences go, we tend to choose coffees that are sweet, clean, dynamic, and exhibit clarity of flavor. Herbaceous coffees and savory dominant coffees tend not to do as well. We strive to evaluate coffees according to how well they represent coffees of that type.
Thank you so much for sending us samples! We know that it's not a small expense to send your beautiful coffees all the way to the northwest corner of the US. Any unused sample coffee will be brewed for the homeless community in our area and for staff to pick from for brewing at their homes.
Thank you so much for considering Narrative Coffee as a partner. We believe in specialty coffee and are so thankful for all of the hard work everyone puts in along the supply chain. We work hard every day to make sure we are representing all of that hard work well by serving our guests delicious coffee with warmth and hospitality.

Nevada State Athletic Commission Issues Testosterone Replacement Therapy BanFebruary 27, 2014
Las Vegas — In a move that will have far-reaching effects throughout the combat sports industry, the Nevada State Athletic Commission on Thursday ruled unanimously to ban therapeutic usage exemptions for testosterone replacement therapy.
The ban is immediate and applies both to future applications and fighters who have already received exemptions. The ruling was made during a regular commission meeting at the Grant Sawyer Building, which Bleacher Report attended in person.
The topic was added to the agenda so that the commission could be prepared for Vitor Belfort—who failed a post-fight test for performance enhancing drugs back in 2006—to put in a TRT application for his championship fight against UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman in May.
Other prominent UFC fighters known to have undergone TRT include Chael Sonnen, Dan Henderson, Frank Mir and the now-retired Forrest Griffin. Sonnen also failed a post-fight drug test due to elevated levels of testosterone back in 2010.
The commission called for testimony from two commission-hired doctors, but it was Dr. Tim Trainor, a consulting physician for the commission, who gave the most damning testimony.
Trainor noted that primary and secondary hypogonadism can indeed cause a need for testosterone replacement. But he said that with known steroid users, there is no way to know for sure if they truly need the therapy or if the damage done by taking anabolic steroids caused it. He also said that, while he could not offer an exact estimate, he suspected less than one percent of the earth's population has legitimate hypogonadism and requires treatment.
Commission member Raymond "Skip" Avansino was the first to say that he would like to see an outright ban on TRT, and commission member Pat Lundvall quickly supported Avansino. The commission discussed the pros and cons of TRT exemptions, and Avansino noted he was embarrassed at the one TRT exemption he'd been involved in granting.
From there, it was just a matter of creating the motion and passing the vote. Avansino created the official motion, Lundvall seconded and the vote unanimously passed with commission member Bill Brady and NSAC chairman Francisco Aguilar.
"I know in granting TUEs for TRT in the past, it caused me a great burden. Because there is always a person there fighting on the other side, who isn't asking for anything, who is going to be tested, who is going to be tested randomly, and is clean," Brady said. "I think we have an obligation to the fighter who doesn't want an exemption and is clean. An obligation to them to make sure they're getting an honest fight. So if this takes away that judgment that I have never liked, then I think this is an appropriate motion and one that I support."
The Ultimate Fighting Championship quickly released a statement on the historic Nevada decision.
"The Ultimate Fighting Championship fully supports the decision made today by the Nevada State Athletic Commission regarding the immediate termination of therapeutic use exemptions (TUE) for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). We believe our athletes should compete based on their natural abilities and on an even playing field. We also intend to honor this ruling in international markets where, due to a lack of governing bodies, the UFC oversees regulatory efforts for our live events. We encourage all athletic commissions to adopt this ruling."
UFC President Dana White told MMAFighting.com's Ariel Helwani that he was thrilled by the decision: "[I'm] pumped!" White wrote in a text message. "Couldn't wait for that garbage to go away."
Weidman was also pleased with the NSAC's ruling, per Helwani:
This is an amazing day for the sport. This is something that I've wanted to see happen for quite some time. TRT was and has always been cheating, and I'm glad Nevada finally recognized that, especially since I'm about to fight there against a known TRT user. Hopefully, every other athletic commission follows because this was long overdue.
Nevada is considered one of the standard-bearers for state athletic commissions around the United States, and it's logical to assume most states will follow their lead.

Basketball Referee Equipment Essentials
If you are interested in refereeing basketball games, you need to know the five basketball referee equipment essentials for being a quality referee. All of these tools are either necessary or highly recommended for being an effective basketball referee to make your job that much easier. After all, you are going to be dealing with hot and angry basketball players.
- Whistle. Probably the most classic of the referee equipment, it is probably the single most important thing you'll need when refereeing a basketball game. The whistle is essential for the fact that is used in almost all areas of the job. Just think about it: foul or illegal maneuver, whistle; angry onlooker, whistle; pissed off coach because of a "bad call," whistle.
- Pinstripe Shirt. While this may just seem like a fashion statement, you will probably be required to wear it anyway. If you aren't, you want to get this classic piece of basketball refereeing equipment. It is the easiest to say, "Hey, I'm coaching this game. Don't screw with me!" It is also easy for players to see when you are they are running down the court.
- Quality Tennis Shoes. This piece of equipment isn't absolutely necessary, but it is highly recommended for the fact that you be doing as much, if not more, running than the basketball players on the court. For this fact, you want to be sure you have some good running shoes that will keep you comfortable while you're referring the big game!
- Water Bottle. Since you'll be refereeing most of the game, you're going to be dehydrated and that is a big no-no. One of the fastest things to take players and refs out is this dehydration. For this simple fact, this piece of equipment is important for not just thirst-quenching goodness, but health! You don't necessarily have to buy a plastic water bottle; even a soda bottle will easily suffice.
- Stopwatch. This is not an absolutely necessary piece of refereeing equipment, but is very helpful for situations where it is needed. These would be timeouts and similar things that can slow down a game. Sometimes they'll keep the time on the board, but just to be safe, you should always have one of these important pieces of equipment on you just in case!

The Romance in the Rockies Series by Heather Blanton
<Optioned for a Limited Television Series!>
ROMANCE IN THE ROCKIES BOOKS 1, 2, & 3 plus THE LOST CHAPTERS–A NOVELLA: Box Set
(Romance in the Rockies Book 1)
Charles McIntyre owns everything and everyone in the lawless, godless mining town of Defiance. When three good, Christian sisters from his beloved South show up stranded, alone, and offering to open a "nice" hotel, he is intrigued enough to let them stay…especially since he sees feisty middle sister Naomi as a possible conquest. But Naomi, angry with God for widowing her, wants no part of Defiance or the saloon-owning, prostitute-keeping Mr. McIntyre. It would seem, however, that God has gone to elaborate lengths to bring them together. The question is, "Why?" Does God really have a plan for each and every life?
Written with gritty, but not gratuitous, realism uncharacteristic of historical Christian fiction, A Lady in Defiance gives a nod to both Pride and Prejudice and Redeeming Love. Based on true events, it is also an ensemble piece that deftly weaves together the relationships of the three sisters and the rowdy residents of Defiance.
(Romance in the Rockies Book 2)
Charles McIntyre built the lawless, godless mining town of Defiance practically with his bare hands … and without any remorse for the lives he destroyed along the way. Then a glimpse of true love, both earthly and heavenly, changed him. The question is, how much? Naomi Miller is a beautiful, decent woman. She says she loves McIntyre, that God does, too, and the past is behind them now. But McIntyre struggles to believe he's worth saving … worth loving. Unfortunately, the temptations in Defiance only reinforce his doubts.
Billy Page abandoned Hannah Frink when he discovered she was going to have his baby … and now he can't live with himself. Or without her. Determined to prove his love, he leaves his family and fortune behind and journeys to Defiance. Will Hannah take Billy back or give him what he deserves for the betrayal?
(Romance in the Rockies Book 3)
A Reformed Saloon-Owner and Pimp…
When Charles McIntyre founded the Wild West town of Defiance, he was more than happy to rule in hell rather than serve in heaven. But things have changed. Now, he has faith, a new wife…and a ten-year-old half-breed son. Infamous madam Delilah Goodnight wants to take it all away from him. How can he protect his kingdom and his loved ones from her schemes without falling back on his past? How does he fight evil if not with evil?
A Redeemed Gunman…
Logan Tillane carries a Bible in his hand, wears a gun on his hip, and fights for lost souls any way he can. Newly arrived in Defiance, he has trouble, though, telling saints from sinners. The challenge only worsens when Delilah flings open the doors to the scandalous Crystal Chandelier Saloon and Brothel. She and the new preacher have opposite plans for the town. One wants to save it, one wants to lead it straight to hell.
The Reaping…
For Tillane and McIntyre, finding redemption was a long, hard road. God's grace has washed away their sins, but the consequences remain and God will not be mocked. For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap…and the harvest is finally at hand.
The Evergreen Series by Heather Blanton
Hang your Heart on Christmas
Brides of Evergreen Book 1
He wants justice–some say revenge. She wants peace. A deep betrayal may deny them everything.
As punishment for a botched arrest, U.S. Marshal "Dent" Hernandez is temporarily remanded to the quiet little town of Evergreen, Wyoming. Not only does his hometown hold some bad memories, but he is champing at the bit to go after vicious killers, not waste his time scolding candy thieves. And he most certainly should not be escorting the very pretty, but jittery, schoolteacher around. What is she so afraid of? Turns out, a lot of folks are keeping secrets in Evergreen.
An old-fashioned Western, Hang Your Heart on Christmas reads like an episode of Gunsmoke or Bonanza. Packed with drama, a tantalizing mystery, and a heartwarming romance, you'll come back to read this lawman's story, again and again–a story you'd expect to see on the Hallmark Channel but one with a mystery worthy of Longmire.
BONUS MATERIAL– Includes a special vintage Christmas recipe and the true story behind the fictional Dent Hernandez! A clean, cowboy western romance with action and adventure. A great read, to take on vacation with you, any time of the year!
Brides of Evergreen Book 2
Though she's loath to admit it, Audra Drysdale needs a man to save her ranch.
Her father has passed away and her hands are abandoning her like rats from a sinking ship. Worse, neighboring cattle baron Jess Fairbanks is making a play for the Diamond D and Audra, whichever he can get his hands on first.
Audra grudgingly accepts that the mere presence of a husband will keep her men working, and Fairbanks under control.
Dillon Pine is in jail for a conspiracy charge, but because of certain mitigating factors, he's deemed a good risk for an unusual form of probation: serving as Audra's husband. But when word gets out that Dillon came to Audra via Evergreen's matchmaker, he's dubbed a "male order bride." The resulting jokes at his expense are constant and brutal. Just how much abuse can Dillon's pride stand?
When Audra discovers her father's death was no accident, she realizes her new husband is in danger, too. And she cares . . . quite a lot, it turns out. To save Dillon, she may have to let go of the one thing she's fought her whole life to keep.
Brides of Evergreen Book 3
Ellie Blair wants a story—the one story—that will make her name bigger than Nellie Bly's. She'll do anything to get it. Lie, masquerade as someone else … even walk away from love?
Brides of Evergreen Book 4
Evergreen's sheriff, Dent Hernandez, has to learn to live with love. Not an easy thing for a man who for years made a career of hunting down some of the worst outlaws in the territory. Can he find his romantic side and ask for Amy's hand in a truly unique, magical way?
Or will a handsome, suave ghost from her past derail Dent's plan—if he can even come up with one?
Brides of Evergreen Book 5
Joel Chapman's spirit is dying a slow, painful death. An amputee, he can no longer fulfill his duties as a cavalry soldier. According to his wife, without two good legs, he can't fulfill his duties as a husband and provider. In a world of able-bodied men, it seems honor and faith don't count for much. Angela Fairbanks is the daughter of a cattle baron known for his iron fist and cold heart. She has no doubt once her father learns she is carrying an illegitimate child, he will banish her from the ranch. A chance encounter with Joel results in a reckless but compassionate offer: for one day, he'll play the role of her husband, and then "abandon" her. For the sake of the baby, Angela agrees to the ruse. But when love weaves itself into the lie, Joel and Angela will discover there's much more at risk than just their hearts. Faith. Honor. Love. Which one will they sacrifice?amzn.to/2yj4A1T
Other Works by Heather Blanton
In Time for Christmas— a Novella is the story of Charlene Williams, a woman trapped in a dangerously abusive marriage. Disappointed that God hasn't gotten her out of it, or even hears her prayers at all, she has shut down emotionally. When husband Dale becomes suspicious of her daily chats with the mailman, he whisks her out of town and abandons her on his family's ranch—an isolated, dilapidated place no one has lived on for over forty years. With the promise that he'll be back in a few days, he knocks her unconscious and leaves.
Charlene wakes up on the ranch—a hundred years in the past. Almost instantly she is drawn to Billy Page, Dale's great-grandfather. The connection is powerful and mysterious, but should she risk falling in love with a ghost? What's going on here? Is Charlene dead, dreaming, in a coma, or simply experiencing a gift from her heavenly father?
She'll learn one thing for certain: God does see the tears of his children.
A range war has broken out in 1890's Wyoming. Now, sparsely populated Johnson County is more explosive than the mean streets of Chicago … and Grace Hendrick is right in the middle of the fight. Banished to the dusty cow town of Misery for an alleged affair, she is facing the hardest decisions of her life. If she tries to return to Chicago, her husband has promised to whisk away their four-year-old son and Grace will never see him again.
She has no choice but to play along, at least temporarily. But in order to survive–and see her son again–she needs money. Misery, however, isn't brimming over with jobs for respectable women. Determined and proud, Grace refuses to consider prostitution. Instead, she concocts a shocking plan.
Thad Walker is the middle son of the oldest, most successful cattle baron in Wyoming and he always puts the ranch first. One chance meeting with Grace Hendrick, though, batters his resolve like a hail storm in July. When Grace's brother Greg is hired by a local widow, Thad figures the kid is the straightest path to Grace's heart. As friendship and love blossom, so do the lies, some in unexpected hearts. Eventually, deceit catches fire and threatens everything Grace and Thad hold dear.
When Lucy Daniels is rescued from a stampeding herd of cattle by war hero veteran Dale Sumner, sparks fly and headlines are born. Smelling an opportunity, the local newspaper decides to send the couple on a tour selling war bonds–not to mention, subscriptions. Enamored with her handsome savior, Lucy is happy to play her part … until she realizes she may be falling in love with the wrong man.
Ace reporter and aspiring mystery writer Bryce Richard is tasked with building up Lucy and Dale's budding affair. He can't think of anything worse for a journalist than switching from hard news to pounding out romantic drivel. Complicating matters, Bryce wishes Lucy would look to him for her happily-ever-after. Only, that would wreck the whole tour and Bryce's coveted book deal.
When love and lies collide on the front page, will Lucy and Bryce have a chance to write their own fairy tale ending? Or are they already yesterday's news? A heartwarming romance worthy of the Hallmark Channel, Love, Lies, & Typewriters is a funny, inspirational tribute to the Greatest Generation!
(Sweethearts of Jubilee Springs Book 8)
Based on a true story … Oliver Martin is a shiftless, mischievous no-account. But he wasn't always. Jilted at the altar, he takes nothing seriously anymore and now spends his days looking for a drink or trouble, whichever comes first. John Fowler, Oliver's friend and business partner, spends his time trying to keep Oliver out of trouble. Tired of rescuing the young man, Fowler decides a wife might bring back the old, steady Oliver. He applies for a mail-order bride for the lad—but secretly.
Abigail Holt spent ten years married to a belligerent drunk. Now widowed, she's worn out trying to make ends meet and raise her boys alone. She has decided to become a mail order bride—in her estimation, the perfect way to pick a husband—using pure logic and a rational mind. Marrying for love the first time resulted in a train wreck. She wants to find a good man who is qualified to raise her sons. Romantic entanglements will not be part of the bargain.
She arrives in Jubilee Springs ready to wed Oliver—who has never heard of her. Perhaps that's a Godsend as he clearly doesn't meet her standards. The mail order fiasco ends Abigail's desire to ever be a bride again, and that's just fine with Oliver. He has no intention of ever getting his heart broken again.
But love and life—and even tragedy—can't be avoided. In fact, trying to run from them may do more harm than good …
Locket Full of Love
Lockets and Lace Book 5
Was her husband a sinner or a saint? A spy or a traitor? For years Juliet Watts has believed her husband died saving nothing more than a cheap trinket–but the locket he risked his life for turns out to hold a mysterious key. Together, Juliet and military intelligence officer Robert Hall go on a journey of riddles and revelations. But Juliet is convinced Robert is hiding something, too. Maybe it's just his heart…
Hell-Bent on Blessings
Brides of Blessings Book 3
"Though she be but little, she is fierce." Shakespeare
Left bankrupt and homeless by a worthless husband, Harriet Pullen isn't about to lay down and die. Finding a temporary home for her children, she heads to the gold rush town of Blessings, California to start over. One carefully planned step at a time, she's going to make a home for her family, regain her financial independence, and build a new ranch–bigger and better than the one she lost. God help the man who ever gets in her way again.
Jason Meredith, an old friend, has a few things he'd like to say to Harriet, especially now that she's a widow. He might have better luck surviving a bear attack, though, than thawing her frozen heart. He's got his work cut out for him, but Jason's a patient man. At least, he used to think he was…

I really enjoyed this book. I am going to enjoy your blog, also. I just read your entry about Eleanor Dare and Roanoke. I loved it. It shed some new light on that colony that I had not read before. Thank you.
Just finished A Lady in Defiance, and I simply could not put it down. It is filled with example upon example of reflecting the love of Christ into a sin filled world where demons really are at war all around us, and about the struggles we all face trying to be that reflection. Thank you! I hope you have a second book in the works. I will be looking forward to it! I plan to share this one with my adult daughters and my friends.
I Loved A Lady in Defiance! I had tears streaming down my face from the very beginning…I've been doing my own battle with God for allowing something into my life that I was hurting over and I've been so resentful, just not understanding "Why?
I had even told God that I didn't like Him very much right now….just like Naomi! As I read that part of the book. I just started crying and telling God,"That's me, God, that's me!" And as I read the words "Do you trust me?" over and over again….I have finally felt at peace, I DO trust God, and he's been there the whole time….so THANK YOU for this book, and for making it so real to our every day lives… 🙂
So looking forward to book two! There IS a book two in the works…right??? You can't leave us hanging! Does Billy come riding in at sunset to claim Hannah and the baby, after he finds that his father has been up to no good? Of course, Mac and Naomi and Ian and Rebecca marry…but what then? 🙂
Hi Heather, soooo excited about book 2! Yay! And yes, I left a comment on Amazon, and also sent the friend request! Will be recommending this book to my friends! Thank you for such a sweet response….
As an avid reader of Christian Historical Fiction, I quickly dove into A Lady in Defiance (I even used the extra hour given by daylight-savings time to read a little more last night). I just finished it, going straight from the book to my computer to find your website! I really enjoyed it, from start to finish! As a young woman who dreams of writing in this genre someday, I've come to pick out some of my favorite aspects of each book I read. What did I enjoy about A Lady in Defiance? I loved the small details that fit perfectly in the time period; I loved the characters and how human they were, with all the strengths, quirks, and flaws that the rest of us have; I loved the persistent change and growth in the characters, another very realistic aspect. These are just to name a few. I really liked your writing style and I hope to see another book come along soon!
I sure will!
I loved the realness of the characters and plot. Please let me know when the next novel be released. Thanks!
Hi Heather, I adored a lady in Defiance, but when is the sequel coming out? Your editor has had it for almost two years. I've recommended this book to many Christian friends. Enjoy your blog too. I don't do Facebook, but I have seen your page a few times and it is great. My email is email@example.com. let me know when the sequel is coming won't you. Also very much enjoyed your time travel novella and left a review on Amazon for both books. Love your writing. Keep going girl! God bless, Rita
Hello Heather! I love your Romance in the Rockies series and I am very appreciative of you putting your foot down to pick up where the 1st book left off! I thought, "finally I can read what happens right after the proclamation of love!" I am curious, however, if you are planning to write a 3rd book in the series? That was quite a way to end the 2nd book! Thank you again for writing these books! God Bless!
