text: Why not turn your register roll into a silent salesperson and use the power of print. When a customer gets handed a receipt, there is no better time to get their attention then when they're right there in the store. They're already a qualified customer! By using the "real estate" on the reverse side of the roll, we open up opportunities to influence the customer in so many ways. Making them aware of other brands, new goods and services, running competitions, reward programs, discount offers, gathering market feedback, stating terms and conditions of sale, store locations and opening times. When compared to other advertising mediums, printed rolls can offer over 880 messages on a single 80 x 80 mm roll!

Reed Flute Cave
Reed Flute Cave © Bernt Rostad
This limestone cave, about three miles (5km) outside of Guilin, has earned itself a place on almost all travel itineraries for the area. Reed Flute Cave is named for the verdant reeds growing outside, which the locals use to make flutes, but it is famous for what is inside: impressive rock formations that resemble everything from lions and monkeys to the skyline of Guilin itself. Each formation has a name and story. These myths and tales, combined with fantastical lighting, add to the atmosphere of mystery and magic within these ancient caves. Guides take visitors on an hour-long tour through the cave and point out the various formations as well as inscriptions on the wall that date back to the Tang dynasty. Unfortunately, photography is not allowed inside the cave, and visitors should be prepared to wait for more people if they are in a group of less than 20. The cave is situated in a park, with ponds, bridges, and pavilions, which is a beautiful place to relax and wander either before or after the tour. For those travelling near Guilin with children, this is a wonderful attraction for the whole family.

The Category Roxburghshire is a subset of The Scottish Borders. Browse through the Brief Records in the Category or look at the broader Category to find a List of the Titles of all the Entities associated with Roxburghshire which have so far been described in this Directory. Clicking on a Title will link you to the Entity's Full Record.
'Jedburgh, situated in the Scottish Borders is located midway between the cities of Edinburgh and Newcastle and is nestled between the Cheviot Hills and the expansive Tweed valley. The area surrounding the town is ideal for walking with beautiful rolling hills, attractive riverside trails and stunning open outlooks in all directions.'
Jedburgh Town Trail [Scottish Borders Council]
'The town of Melrose is situated in the heart of the Scottish Borders at the foot of the Eildon Hills and close by the River Tweed. As such it is in the perfect location for the visitor, and especially walkers, to explore the surrounding landscape and its many historical connections ...'
Melrose Town Trail | Paths Around Melrose [Scottish Borders Council]
'With numerous local walks around the village and surrounding countryside ranging from 3 km to 18km and forest walks from 0.5km to 9km Newcastleton has something for everyone.'
'The Reserve is remote and wild, and the weather can change quickly. Visitors should have hill-walking experience if attempting long walks.'
'Circular walk in the heart of the Scottish Borders, full of attractive countryside passing by four 12th Century Abbeys and through several Border Towns.'
'This is said to be an excellent feat of engineering by the Romans as there are lengthy cuttings and terraces where the bedrock has been exposed and used as the road surface ... Craik Cross Hill is fascinating because it was a Roman Watch Tower but then was reused with a cross marker stone on the hill. This may have been a route pilgrims used to get to Whithorn and so the cross would have been a sign to guide people there ...'
Craik Cross Hill [WalkLakes]
'This descriptive series of three walks will take you from the Square on each occasion. Starting from the front of the Town Hall, which houses the Tourist Information Centre, you will be taken along one of the arteries leading out of town, to look at the historical growth of the town, its buildings and other items of interest connected with the town ...' ALERT Link replaced.
'Long distance walking route running the length of Scotland from Kirk Yetholm to Cape Wrath. Devised by outdoors writer and broadcaster Cameron McNeish, the Trail offers very varied walking, following long-established footpaths for much of the distance but becoming progressively more difficult as it heads north, finishing with a tough stretch of backpacking - with some pathless and demanding terrain - on the final stretch of the Cape Wrath Trail.'

'Bridging the national border between Scotland and England, this inspiring 100km (62.5 miles) cross-border route links Melrose in the Scottish Borders, where St. Cuthbert started his religious life in 650AD, with Holy Island off the Northumberland Coast, his eventual resting place and his original pilgrimage shrine.'

Las Vegas
Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
For motorcycle enthusiasts, motorcycles are exhilarating! For the more cautious, the idea of riding at such fast speeds down busy streets, or even faster along open highways, is frightening. Either way, one statistic is painfully clear, while motorcycles are part of only a small percentage of total collisions (just over 2% in Nevada in 2010), they account for a substantially higher percentage of fatalities (more than 13% the same year).
Motorcyclists are More Likely To be Killed in an Accident
A shockingly higher percentage of motorcyclists get killed in accidents, compared to people in passenger cars. So the stakes are high. If you or a loved one has been injured by a motorcyclist or while driving or riding on one, a Las Vegas motorcycle accident attorney at the Drummond Law Firm can offer guidance about your next move and help you take legal action if you have a strong case.
We Are Attorneys that

Are you having a crisis in your life?
May 23, 2012 Leave a comment
Crisis can be big or small. Right from taking your child for a swimming class to dealing with a tough boss at office.
How you ask a question to yourself is very important.
Ex1: I cannot deal with this. This is really stressful. I dont have time to finish office work, Now, I have one more thing to do.
Change it to:
How can I accommodate this along with my office work. What can wait? And what should be handled now and how much time do I have?
Ex2: Why does my boss never understand how hard I am working. Why cant he appreciate my work?
Change it to:
How can I make sure my boss understands more about what I'm doing and encourage him to give me more support?
Try it. It might just work wonders for eliminating crisis in your life…

SDD102 SMEs Are from Mars, Instructional Designers Are from Venus
11:00 AM - 11:45 AM Tuesday, March 26
Expo Hall: Design & Development Stage
Course design is a partnership between subject matter experts (SMEs) and instructional designers (ISDs). The process has a technical side and a "people" side. Although the technical component can be rigorous, the people issues require SMEs and instructional designers to work together and produce a result. SMEs know their area of expertise, but they are not always familiar with the learning process. Likewise, instructional designers are well versed in the science of learning but often unfamiliar with the subject matter for which they are designing a course. Creating a common language between SMEs and instructional designers is possible if you have the right techniques to combat issues that arise.
This session will explore techniques to facilitate a productive SME/ISD relationship, including how to apply a partnership agreement, and you'll learn about a four-step design process that increases accountability. The session will begin with an activity to connect to your experience and build a learning community. You'll learn about motivators for SMEs to participate in course development and a partnership agreement, which you will complete. The session will continue with a virtual role-play as you observe a dialogue between an SME and instructional designer characters. Next, you'll examine the four-step design process to increase SME/designer accountability. The session will conclude with a key learning review and action planning exercise to help you create a true partnership and productive relationship with SMEs.
In this session, you will learn:
- Techniques to facilitate a productive SME/ISD relationship
- How to apply a partnership agreement to an SME/ISD relationship
- A four-step design process that increases accountability
- How to apply four principles of learning to the SME/ISD relationship
Designers, developers, managers, and subject matter experts
Technology discussed in this session:
Video, virtual meeting tools, and document collaboration sites

With the vagaries of Irish weather we have to grab the opportunities to get outdoors whenever we can. So here are some of my favourite spots, the best places in Wexford to get outdoors with kids and enjoy the fine scenery in the county.
Sign up for our free newsletter and join us on facebook and follow us on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Pinterest
The Three Rocks Trail
The Three Rocks Trail is one of our favourite spots for a picnic in Wexford. Coillte Outdoors provide a 8km long trail across Fort Mountain and Shelmalier and there are plenty of shorter loops for families with picnic areas and great viewing points.
Irish National Heritage Park
Visit the Irish National Heritage Park in Ferrycarrig. It is well laid out and good for all ages. Plenty of places to picnic; one of our favourite picnic spots is past the Viking boats on the way up to the Norman and round towers, it has a great view!
Carrigbyrne Hill
Carrigbyrne Hill is a 5km trail through a forest of mainly coniferous trees. Good for family walking and cycling.
Curracloe Nature Trail
Curracloe Nature Trail is a delightful 800 metres nature trail through seashore and sand dunes. Wexford is famous for its beautiful beaches and this one is no exception!! Stunning!!
Related: Family Walks in Wexford: Carrigbyrne Hill and Great Family Walks in Wexford
John F. Kennedy Arboretum
The John F. Kennedy Arboretum is a good place to bring the bikes as small legs will get around more easily! It has lovely walks, great trees and you can feed ducks by the pond and watch the fish dart about. There's also a miniature railway.
The playground has plenty of picnic tables, a cafe, a small maze, a great slide and a house grown out of hedging.
Related: Playgrounds in Wexford
Raven Nature Reserve in Curracloe
Take the bikes along part of the Raven Point Loop where you might see red squirrels or watch out for seals basking on the sandbanks.
Curracloe Beach
If you get as far as Curracloe Beach on your walk in the Raven Nature Reserve above, it doubled as Omaha Beach in the film 'Saving Private Ryan'. It, along with Courtown Beach, always has some great gusts for kites.
We have over 200km of beaches in Wexford, no wonder everyone wants to come to the sunny south east! All the beaches offer great opportunities for family fun and outdoor pursuits.
While some of the beaches are recommended for different things like a blue flag, amenities like toilets etc, some beaches are just amazing stretches of sand.
Even stony beaches have a lot to offer being great places for rock pooling, skimming stones and in some cases rock climbing.
So gather all the kids into the car and drive along the coast explore a beach you have never been to.

Site of the Week – TrekMovie
The Star Trek juggernaut is gearing up for its eleventh movie next year, and TrekMovie is there to cover all the latest happenings. The website is the brainchild of Anthony Pascale, who launched it in July 2006 — on the same day it was announced that J.J. Abrams had finalized a deal with Paramount to direct Star Trek XI. The site is all about "approaching Star Trek professionally," says Pascale who runs the site, with the help of several editors, reviewers and other contributors. TrekMovie's "goal is to be comprehensive. We endeavor to review every book, every comic book, every toy, every new episode," he says, adding, "I'm not necessarily interested in every single one of these aspects, but I know someone is.
And will the site vanish once the newest movie hits the screen on May 8, 2009? Not at all. The new movie may have given birth to the website, but now, the "movie's just part of the world for us," Pascale notes. Pascale has bought the "TrekHQ" name and plans to roll it out after the movie is released. He's confident there will be enough blockbuster additions to the franchise to sustain the website's future, including another Paramount movie and a new television series. "I would not be surprised if, three years from now, we're talking about the sequel to the J.J. Abrams movie and the new CBS show coming out in fall 2012," Pascale predicts. "I think the franchise has a good future. That's why I created the site." He's justifiably proud of TrekMovie's many scoops, including news that CBS Paramount was working on an HDTV enhanced version of the original Star Trek television series with new state-of-the art CGI visual effects. Pascale also claims that TrekMovie has announced more stars for the new movie than the Hollywood Reporter and Variety combined, including news of the casting of Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana and John Cho.
It was the animated television series served as Pascale's initiation into the world of Star Trek. He's followed the franchise ever since. When asked for his favorite Star Trek TV show, he says it's a tie between the original series and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Of the movies, he favors Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. As for Star Trek XI, Pascale is extremely confident that the movie's producers and executives "understand the heart of Star Trek, the soul of Star Trek; from everything I've seen and heard, I'm very confident that they get it," he says.Read More

A lot of thought and Pinterest browsing went into looking for a sewing pattern for an autumn coat but I couldn't find a design I liked more than the Uptown Coat by Favorite Things. It has an empire line bodice which flatteringly flares out into a fuller skirt with front and back pleats (perfect for pear shaped humans), a mock double breasted front and dramatic stand up collar.
I used a richly textured coating material called Heather Glen Rope Twist (£8.99 a metre from Fabricland, Brighton). It's made up of multicoloured strands of yarn and is jewel bright in daylight. For a complete contrast I lined the coat with a fruit and flower print cotton which feels nice and soft to the touch, as well as providing a riot of colour on the inside. The beautiful wooden buttons are from Otterly Beads at eBay.
Sewing instructions for the Uptown Coat are mercifully brief and straightforward to follow for any experienced dressmaker. The coat also has a shorter, jacket version and a suggestion to make up a fat-quarter version, which I'm tempted to try making with some of my many dressmaking remnants. For now though, I'm going to enjoy wearing this one!

Another recession may be approaching, and people all over are feeling the heat. Joblessness is up and businesses are closing their doors nationwide. Things can seem like they're not going to look up, but you can make things work. The advice you find below will give you the way to make money in good times and bad.
Don't forget to take tax deductions for your business Internet use. You can claim a portion of the total cost of these services for business purposes.
Keep a special business phone line to keep it separate from your personal phone line. Your message recording must be professional, and you want to ensure that no one else in your family takes your work calls.
It is important that you dress for success, regardless of the physical location of where you work. When you work out of a home office, you may feel like wearing your jammies. Dress business casual, as you would for most jobs outside the home. Wearing real clothes affects not only your appearance, but your motivation to get down to business.
You need to make sure you are free from interruptions by family while working. Interruptions are distracting, and distraction will impede your productivity. Let folks know when you will be available. Deal with these matters at the end of the work day. It's important that you have proper supervision for your children and you are available if there is an emergency.
Offer incentives for customers that refer their friends. This type of marketing is the best for any business type. Incentives tend to boost loyalty from existing clients.
Make sure you give yourself daily goals. You will accomplish a lot more if you establish reasonable goals on a daily basis. Allow yourself to have concrete boundaries so that you're getting the respect you need from others.
Currently our country is in a recession, which is causing an economic crisis to be occurring. You may be wondering, "How is my family going to get by? Hopefully this article has given you some helpful tips to help you survive this "Second Great Depression."

Hard Drive Shredding: Securely Destroying your Data
Secure Hard Drive Shredding For Anchorage
Identity fraud is on the rise, and as technology changes and improves Increasingly sophisticated data retrieval methods mean that even when a hard drive has been erased using specialist software – there is still the risk that data and information stored on the drive can be retrieved/restored. This may then fall into the wrong hands for improper and fraudulent use.
The only way to fully protect your company's confidential data and information stored on hard drives is to shred it via our hard drive shredding service.
Our team will collect your old hard drives and ensure all of your information is protected and secured throughout the destruction process. They are then destroyed at our secure facility. Drives are secured under lock and key and accessed under dual control when ready for destruction.
What happens to your electronic media after you no longer need it?
The amount of confidential information found on single piece of paper is minuscule compared to the vast amounts of data found on a single hard drive, backup tape or DVD. Yet, many businesses still carelessly discard and recycle all kinds of digital media without destroying it first, exponentially increasing their privacy breach and identity theft risks with every passing day. Disposing of digital media directly into the trashcan or recycling bin simply isn't acceptable. The consequences can be costly and it some cases, irrecoverable. Failing to destroy your electronic information could result in:
- Regulatory non-compliance fines
- Legal liability
- Damaged reputation and brand
- Negative publicity
The only way to guarantee that the information contained on your digital media remains private is to completely destroy it at the end of its life cycle.
Professional destruction for your hard drives and more
Alaska Archives provides digital media destruction services to businesses and individuals who want complete assurance that their electronic data will not be compromised during the disposal process. We offer destruction of:
- Hard drives
- Magnetic tapes
- DVDs
- Blu-Ray Disks

Whether on a one-time basis or on a scheduled basis, we will assess your digital media destruction requirements and provide you with a secure solutions.

Signs that Republicans and Democrats are ready to consider a statewide ban on texting while driving are encouraging - not just for the bipartisanship, but to codify the fact that the behavior is unacceptable.
Signs that Republicans and Democrats are ready to consider a statewide ban on texting while driving are encouraging - not just for the bipartisanship, but to codify the fact that the behavior is unacceptable.
Allowing oneself to be so distracted while guiding a 2-ton machine down a highway at 65 mph - or while navigating a busy city street or neighborhood lane with children around - is unreasonable and unacceptable.
While experience has shown that many activities other than texting can dangerously distract drivers, texting is among the least justifiable. No one needs to send or receive a message so badly that it can't wait until one is stopped. And the notion that anyone can type words using miniscule buttons and a tiny screen, all while keeping one's eyes on the road, is absurd.
Cities across Ohio, including Columbus, Dublin and Delaware, have instituted local bans. A statewide measure would raise awareness that public tolerance of texting while driving has run out.
In July, Daniel R. Jacobs of Reynoldsburg opted to send a text while driving on I-270 near Rt. 33, and because of that, Dalton Ludwig never will get the chance to drive responsibly. The 16-year-old student driver, sitting with his instructor with the car parked on the shoulder, was killed when Jacobs, while texting, drifted to the right and slammed into him.
It's hard to say whether a law against texting while driving would have dissuaded Jacobs from doing so, but for many Ohioans, it would be enough. Most people want to obey the law. For those who might not have thought much about the dangers of texting while driving, a statewide ban would be the needed jolt, reminding them to avoid it.
As noted earlier, texting is hardly the only driver distraction that is potentially dangerous. So any increase in awareness of this issue could save lives.
Joshua T. Morris of Streetsboro, Ohio, is enmeshed in tragedy and a 19-year-old Kent State University sophomore is dead because Morris lost control of his car on I-71 in Delaware County while reaching for his cellphone charger.
His northbound vehicle crossed the median and hit the car driven by Rachael Carlina Woodruff as she left a rest area headed south. She was on her way home for spring break.
Last year, a ban passed by Ohio House Democrats stalled in the Republican-controlled Senate. Both houses are under Republican control this year, but the bill still might move forward. Rep. Courtney Combs, R-Hamilton and chairman of the Transportation, Public Safety and Homeland Security Committee, was optimistic about its chances and a spokesman for House Speaker William G. Batchelder of Medina promised "thoughtful consideration."
Passing such a measure would be better.

Cool Down
This workout is for an intermediate/low advanced level pace with focus on ABS and ARMS.
As I said in my previous reviews on taebo, you have to keep a good form and put strength into the workout. if you 'punching like a girl' don't expect for a good workout. For those who like kickboxing and always keep an eye on their form and performance, here is my review:
First time I did it I was a little sick and did'nt put myself into the workout. The cardio was easy and the muscle toning segments were tough.
The second time I did it I 'didn't punch like a girl' and the result was that my arms were so red. my upper body worked so hard so alot the blood got into my arms. My upper body was on fire during the workout and I felt it the next day although there are no weights used.
The cardio wasn't extremely intense since the biggest muscle group of the body - the legs, was missed.
It's not that terrible because when your heart works harder you can't work muscles that much. For proof take ultimate lower body which gives you more intense cardio and less burning feeling in the muscles.
Overall this is a moderate cardio workout with intense muscle endurance for the upper body. I think it's about 50 minutes maybe a little longer.

- excessive fatigue
- illogical or confused thinking or writing

6 ways your new pine tree evergreen luminary has swag!
- It's easy to assemble (you just attach the two pieces together) and put where you want to display. I don't want to fight with my home decor, I want easy buttons here. The design also makes it simple to store.
- You can place a candle underneath the tree to give it a golden glow. This can be a real candle or an LED light. Both look great!
- It's pretty hefty for a display item! This means it doesn't get toppled off the table by pets, kids or both.
- Love how it can be used indoors or out and was made to be able to handle the elements.
- Stability! It comes with three rubber feet on the bottom that anchor the product and keep it in place. You can see one of these feet in the picture just above.
- It has this rustic, Christmas in the country appeal to it. Not too bold, not too bright, not too flashy. Just right. Ideal design for the home.
Why go with versatile style for the home...
But if you go with more generic home items, they can last the season and way beyond. (Remember what I said about pumpkins with faces.....Halloween and done! Forget about Thanksgiving). This is partly why I like Desert Steel so much. They create and mold unique home decor that is versatile enough to last a long time in the span of a year.
Just think about that pillow you bought at Target that says "Santa's Coming To Town." How good is that gonna look in March? You got a month to use and it's back into storage. My Evergreen Luminary has a 3-4 month lifespan. Nice!
Product specs
- All-weather, 100% Powder coated inside and out
- Will not rust or corrode
- LED light/candle adds night sophistication (not included)
- Easy assembly
- Measures 15"W x 26"H
- Can be used indoors or out
Why Desert Steel is so fun...

I work 87 hours in March, from home. COMPLETELY from home. I didn't hold any parties. I didn't buy any inventory. I didn't meet any quotas. I worked for MYSELF, around the schedule of my twin 5 year olds.... And this is the check I earned:
Yep: $2,123.19.
I didn't even have to leave my home. :) Interested in learning more? Let me know.
It's not a scam. It's not an MLM. No quotas. No inventory. No deliveries. Just fun... and money, of course.

It's official… I read the newspaper today at work and low and behold… there it was.
Of course I appreciate Peter for filling me in on the scoops on the corrected Press Release that went out… and of course I appreciate my little birds that drop by now and then with their little tid bits of information.
Here is the article in full from the Hawaii Tribune Herald. I'm posting it in full because I know that soon enough… people will be charged to read this again… I hate that model of information… Give it free now… but then charge for it later.
Public Works PIO criticized
By Tribune-Herald
The Big Island Press Club has selected Noelani Whittington, public information officer for the Hawaii County Department of Public Works, as the unfavorable recipient of the Big Island Press Club's Lava Tube Award, given annually to highlight the worst violation of government openness in the state.
The Torch of Light Award, awarded for the best example of open government, goes to Gov. Linda Lingle and the Hawaii State Legislature for passing a law to protect newsgatherers from revealing confidential sources.
Whittington "wins" this year for a memo she wrote in mid-November directing employees how to handle media requests. The memo directed employees not to speak to the media, not to discuss the causes of problems and how to stop the photographing or videotaping of baseyards and road projects.
The since-rescinded memo named several individuals — video producer Dave Corrigan, and bloggers Aaron Stene and Damon Tucker — who are not to receive any information from the department. This is despite the Hawaii County Charter requirement that "all persons shall be treated in a courteous, fair and impartial manner." Whittington ignored the Charter when she wrote, "They are not journalists. They write what they think."
"We hope that all the ex-journalists now working in the Kenoi administration will encourage a new standard for openness and access to information in county government," said BIPC President Peter Serafin. "Today, every presidential press release is available to anyone with a computer and a modem — news professional or not. How can any local government justify being less open?"
In 2008 Reps. Blake Oshiro, Kirk Caldwell, Glenn Wakai, Gene Ward and Tommy Waters introduced a journalism shield bill, which the Legislature passed with no "nay" votes, and which Gov. Linda Lingle signed into law.
The Lava Tube and Torch of Light awards are announced each year on March 16, which is celebrated nationwide as Freedom of Information Day on the birthday of James Madison, the foremost champion of openness in government among the nation's founding fathers.
The Big Island Press Club was founded in Hilo, in 1967.
The Lava Tube and Torch of Light awards have been presented annually since being established on the occasion of the Club's 30th anniversary in 1997.

text: My life completely changed in April 2013 when I had life-saving open heart surgery. A few years later, it seemed like time to put that surgery to good use and start working out again. My goal wasn't to lose those last few extra pounds of baby weight, although that was a nice benefit. My goal wasn't to make it through Wisconsin winter without seasonal depression, but with the help of endorphins, that also happened. My goal wasn't to empower and socialize my children, but that was an amazing gift to my family at the Kids Korner. My goal wasn't to become a better mom, but I became one through taking a little bit of time to refill my cup, so that I was able to give throughout the day. My goal wasn't to find a hobby, which I desperately needed, but I found one. My goal wasn't to find confidence within myself, but now I'm strong physically and mentally. My goal wasn't to make friends, but I've made them every step of the way at the Y. My goal wasn't to learn to completely live in the moment, but I learned how by being present and giving my all in every aspect of my workouts. My goal wasn't to find a job, but I've been able to work and play simultaneously at the Y. My goal IS to take care of my heart. Literally and figuratively, I accomplish that daily with my Y family! - Betsy Hornseth

'Tristresse' is cutely electronic without holding much appeal for the casual house enthusiast. Beginning with sombre guitar and glistening cinematics, the body of the track is built around brittle percussive snaps, simple bass notes, and elegantly solemn pads and strings. It's a downtempo approach to house which should be both applauded for its depth and musicality, but it lacks the energy to find favour on many floors.
'Heiligendamm' takes a more decisive route towards the dancefloor with earthy drums leading to a rollicking bassline and classic Detroitesque piano stabs. The melodic techno of the first half gives way to a darker second section after the breakdown, pushed along by bolder percussion and rhythm that finish the track with a flurry.
Both track are artistically impressive, but unfortunately Kollektive Turmstrasse may find themselves unappreciated with this EP. While it's commendable for Connaisseur to break from the club-friendly tech-house expected of them, this release won't pump too many fists.

Lately we've been fascinated by the 'idle RPGs' such as Adventure of Heroes (iOS/Android). We've released multiple hacks for similar games over the last couple of months.
We at GameBag don't get why all of a sudden these games are popular, but it is how it is. Personally we might not like it to the point we would play it constantly, but it's not all that bad. We'd rather plan an open world RPG, but hey, you don't always get what you want. And as you all know we don't want to leave anyone behind, hence we made yet another hack tool.
Directly controlling your characters seems to be the most important aspect of an RPG for us. However the recent rise in popularity of idle games tells us the majority of mobile players thinks otherwise.
While we don't like the idea, we never were close minded people so we gave each of these games a try. It's the same with Adventure of Heroes. We played it a bit and noticed that the premium resources are hard to get, and the players might be annoyed with that.
This is the sole reason we made this free Coins and Gems generator. Many of you might be playing the game without the best team members. Simply because you don't wish to pay hundreds of dollars for a mobile game. We get this, and that's why we put our efforts into this hack tool.
Stick around to out what Adventure of Heroes is all about, learn it's gameplay mechanics and meet some of the characters. Lastly learn how our Coins and Gems generator can help you build the best team this game has ever seen!
Adventure of Heroes is a 2D Card RPG which focuses on exploration and battle. However battles are mostly idle and the heroes you choose will do the fighting for you. Before you can start you journey you need to form a team of heroes first.
The first team you get is acquired as a part of the tutorial. It consists of your main character and Saori, your follower that introduces you to the game.
You meet Saori at the start of the game when a violent disruption occurs and bring many superheroes to reality. You are supposed to fight off the evil ones and restore the balance of the world. Are you the chosen one, and can you really do this task?
Well first of all you cannot do all of this by yourself. You will, of course, need a fully-formed team to help you out with this task. It takes some time for you to form the actual team, even longer if you don't use our hack.
You need gold coins and Gems for the purchase of additional heroes. These heroes vary in strengths and rarity, but truth be told it doesn't matter all that much. You will win most of the fights in a matter of seconds and in the end the only change you can make is the visual one. In other words, the strength doesn't matter as much in this game.
Coins are acquired through 'Adventuring' and this is done by selecting a region your party is supposed to explore. You don't have to do much and the gold will slowly trickle down in your pocket. Same cannot be said for Gems, as they can only be bought with real money.
This is why we deemed it necessary to make yet another generator for you!
The hacking process itself is rather simple and doesn't require much knowledge since it pretty intuitive. Most of you are already familiar with our generators, however for some of you this might be the first time.
There isn't much to be told about the generator except that it is completely free, that's right! No survey, like or share is required for the hack to work, that's just the way we like it. This makes it easier for both you and us.
So let's get straight into the generator tutorial shall we?
First thing is first you will need to scroll down to the bottom of this page to find the red '"Online Hack" button. You need to click it in order to be redirected to the site our generator is stationed at.
After the redirection you will need to establish a secured connection to one of our generator servers. To do that you simply press the 'Connect' button below the text. There isn't much else to do here since the process is fully automated.
If the above mentioned process fails for the first time – don't worry! You can always reload the page and try again.
When you've established the connection you should click the 'Proceed' button that appeared in the meantime. Now you'll need to choose which resources (Coins and/or Gems) and how many of them you wish to hack. To confirm the selection you need to press the 'Generate' button. After pressing this button you will be asked to fill out your account username and to choose the device you play on.
It is important to provide us with the right information since our generator must know where to send the hacked resources!
Since we haven't placed any requirements for our hack tool we think it's only fair that you do us this small favor. We had problems in the past with flooding of the generator's servers lately due to spamming. It is bad for both sides since you cannot get your much needed resources and we get bad feedback.
This is the reason we will ask you not to spam our generators! You can hack as much resources as you want, but do it once. Doing it a hundred times in ten seconds won't bring you any advantage since you probably won't get anything due to crashes.
We hope you understand why this is important. Hacking responsibly will be a win-win situation for everybody!
GameBag staff wishes you many days of happy gaming and hacking!
