Warhammer Online: Solo Nerx Gutslime (Hero) for Easy Loot (healers only)

Located in Mount Bloodhorn there is a Hero mob named Nerx Gutslime. He is in a cave along the eastern side of the zone 53500 , 44500 near a large Dwarf statue. There is a path to the left of the dwarf that leads up to runescape guide a gap you need to jump to the next platform. You will see a log ramp that you run up and the cave is right to the left.
The great thing about this hero gw2 gold is that he is a shaman and does not melee, he only uses ranged attacks as long as you stay about 30 yards from him. When fighting him at range the only thing you need to worry about is buy runescape gold a pitiful dot he puts on you that ticks for 300 damage every 3 seconds for 9 seconds, so healing through it is not a problem at all.
It takes about 20-30 min to dps him down depending on the buy swtor credits healers spec but the loot he drops is well worth the time invested.
The items are pretty damn good so killing him for an upgrade is an option or if you make talismans this can be a good way to make some gold. So far from runescape money my experience the items can be salvaged into uncommon 175 fragments and also have a chance to be salvaged into a 200 rare fragment.
Nerx like most Lair Heroes has a 12 hour respawn timer so depending on when you kill him there guild wars 2 gold is a chance for 2 kills per day. He also drops up to 2 weapons at a time, for me it seemed that he dropped 2 weapons about 75% of the time.
This can easily be done with multiple casters along with one healer and you can duo Nerx with a healer and a melee class as long as the healer takes him down about 15% before the melee jumps in. Its also a good idea for the melee class to get behind Nerx which will keep you from taking any damage from the dot because it has a cone radius.
That’s about it hope this helps someone

Scott McGough on Writing the Charr 0

Scott McGough here, representing the Guild Wars 2 design writing team. I’ll be bringing you the latest dispatches from the farthest reaches of the charr empire, because someone has to prepare you for the thing I’m looking forward to most: the bad guys from Guild Wars becoming a fully playable race diablo 3 gold buy in Guild Wars 2.
Virtues and Vices
Our world designers and writers approach the charr with a certain amount of gusto. After all, it’s just plain fun to write for the bad guys, especially when you get to explore their point of view, in which they’re d3 power leveling the good guys. We know some people will feel a lingering resentment of the charr—probably because of that whole Searing thing—in addition to the gleeful anticipation of getting inside their fur, so our guiding principle for writing them has been to delve diablo 3 items into some of the unexplored charr virtues (industry, discipline, fearlessness) along with their well known vices (aggression, bloodthirst, and ruthlessness). Balancing the admirable traits with the fearsome ones allows us to present a more complete picture of charr society without negating gw2 gold or retconning their violent history.

Winning Ugly is Still Winning
Things have gone relatively well for our nation of belligerent feline antagonists since we last saw them. After Kalla Scorchrazor’s rebellion broke the power of the Flame Legion shamans, buy gw2 gold the Iron, Ash, and Blood Legions reestablished their dominance and led the charr people on a remarkable series of victories. By the start of Guild Wars 2, the charr have almost completely pushed humanity out of what was once Ascalon, successfully built a capital city stronghold on the ruins of Rin, and solidified their grip on their holdings while also expanding ever-outward into new territory. This should come as no surprise, as victory has been a touchstone for everything the charr do. Both as individuals and as a society, they still care far less about the means than they do the ends, especially when the end is winning.

The Cycles

The Cycles
The sylvari believe that the portion of the day during which you were born speaks to a person’s personality, interests, and special talents. They pay close attention to this, and each of the four cycles—Dawn, Noon, Dusk and Night—are guided by one of the firstborn. Those four firstborn, called the Luminaries, tend to be the most active in the governance of the sylvari race. They work together to bring new knowledge into the Grove, defend the Pale Tree, and build political relationships with the other races of Tyria. Although the other firstborn are considered wise mentors and have certain authority, the Luminaries fulfill the primary tasks of maintaining society and guiding the sylvari as a whole.
The Cycle of Dawn
Sylvari born during d3 gold the Cycle of the Dawn, from midnight to 6 a.m., are natural talkers and planners. They are the diplomats of the sylvari race, and tend to be gregarious and friendly types. Their Luminary is the clever Aife, whose skill with words is only equaled by her keen aim with a bow. She is a diplomat and has traveled to each of the large cities of Tyria on behalf of her people. Those sylvari who wish to see the world would do well to speak with her and gain her wisdom before they begin their journey.
The Cycle of Noon
The Cycle of Noon extends from 6 a.m. to noon, during the blazing rise of the sun. On the whole, these sylvari prefer actions to words and are skilled combatants no matter how they choose to fight. They diablo 3 gold like to experience things firsthand, attack problems head on, and enjoy the rush of warfare. Niamh is their Luminary, a bold and experienced warrior that has fought many battles. She leads a company of sylvari called the Wardens, who are the guards and protectors of the Grove.
The Cycle of Dusk
Those sylvari born during the time between noon and 6 p.m. are members of the Cycle of Dusk. They tend to be intelligent, philosophical, and retiring. Such sylvari enjoy riddles and puzzles, and they prefer to spend their time in study rather than in physical pursuits. In their garden, you will find Luminary Kahedins, whose kind soul and gentle words have often been a balm to troubled sylvari. It is his task to help newly awakened buy d3 gold sylvari understand what they have seen within the Dream of Dreams. Lately, he has been studying the written languages of Tyria and determining whether the sylvari should create a writing system of their own.
The Cycle of Night
Lastly, the sylvari born during the late hours from 6 p.m. to midnight belong to the Cycle of Night. Many of these sylvari are inclined to be solitary, preferring to travel alone. They are often secretive, self-contained, and quiet. The Cycle of Night’s Luminary is the astronomer Malomedies, credited with charting the skies and bringing mathematics to the sylvari. He was also the first to meet with the asura, a bitter tale that he rarely tells. Although Malomedies is the most private of the Luminaries, those who are gw2 gold awakened to his cycle speak of him as a stern mentor but a caring one.
Despite the signs of long-ago death, the slumbering ruins felt somehow alive; the hush and whisper of tide below the cliff rising and falling like a sleeper’s breath. Something low and shadowy, stinking of brine, cast a slender shadow among the crumbling rocks. Cadeyrn watched it pass between the tilted walls and fragmented arches that must have been a chapel. Saw it flicker where an altar once stood. Marked where the shadow vanished away.
“Are you prepared?” Niamh murmured softly behind him, her frond-like hair rustling in the cold breeze. She drew her sword and checked its edge, finding it keen. Eager silver eyes met his dark gold gaze. “It is time to strike.” Two others of guild wars 2 gold an even younger generation than Cadeyrn stood with her; both, like them, members of the Cycle of Noon.
Cadeyrn stepped away from the little ledge on which he’d been crouched. “They are ready for us. We must move cautiously.”
Together, they crept down onto the beach and into the ruins, and there, they found their quarry. Cadeyrn’s sword cleaved a krait in two with a single stroke. He spun the weapon expertly behind his back, blocking another creature’s claw before snapping down to slice away the extended hand. A krait sorceress’s unblinking eyes widened as she wove a thaumaturgic web of slaughter, and two of the sylvari died in her flame. Fiercely, Cadeyrn leapt toward her, his blade tearing through the krait’s flesh.
He left nothing behind but scale and scream.
When buy wow gold the krait were dead, Niamh and Cadeyrn stood in the center of the ruined chapel, blood on their blades and fierce smiles lighting their faces. A sound caught his attention, and he raised a hand for silence, slipping forward to the place where he had seen movement from above.
Cadeyrn tilted the altar aside, and the sound grew louder. Beneath the stone lay a cave, long ago flooded by the advance of the sea. There, in a sea-cavern below the ruins, krait lay in hiding, unperturbed by the icy waters. But these were not warriors. This was a hatchery, filled with krait eggs and terrified young.
He raised his sword to continue the extermination—
“Cadeyrn!” Niamh said sharply.
Cadeyrn paused, looking up at the leader of his Cycle in confusion.
“Leave them.”
“But…they are krait.”
“They are children.”
“Children.” He frowned, for the word had little meaning. “You mean ‘they are small.’ They are small, but they are krait. They will grow up to be large krait, and then we will kill them. Why not kill them now, when it is easy and they are undefended? It seems the wisest course of action. Otherwise, we risk losing more sylvari lives when these return fully grown.”
“We must take that risk, to give them a chance to change their ways,” the firstborn said. “All things have a right to grow. The blossom is brother to the weed.” Soberly, she put away her sword and pushed the altar back. Beneath it, Cadeyrn could hear the snakes scrambling, splashing away into the ocean tide.
“Again the firstborn quote the Tablet when I ask for logic.” He growled beneath his breath. “I do not agree.”

The Savage Pride of the Jotun 5

The jotun (pronounced JŌ-tun) are the last remnants of an ancient society of giants. Once powerful, advanced, and arrogant, they proclaimed themselves rulers of the Shiverpeak Mountains and raised great monuments to themselves on the highest peaks. Their leaders, known as giant-kings, were tremendously powerful beings, as skilled in feats of strength as they were in magic and lore.
And yet, as the jotun defeated all who threatened their control over the mountains, they did not adjust to peace. Convinced that they were the superior race, they became obsessed with the purity of their blood and the number of heroes, warlords, and giant-kings in each lineage. Blood became a reason for taking one mate over another, seizing land, and in time, wiping out other “lesser” tribes. Eventually, the jotun conquered or destroyed all their external enemies, and then the giant-kings turned on each other, each seeking ultimate control. d3 gold Families waged war upon one another, and brother made war on brother, until the tribes erupted in vicious internal wars for control.
“I will show you the jotun of ages past, when we strode across the Shiverpeaks as mighty lords. Witness the savagery, greed, and vanity that ended our glorious rule…”
—Thruln, the last of the giant-kings
Long ago, the jotun possessed the ability to use magic and were skilled enough with it to create enchanted monuments in the Shiverpeak Mountains. Some historians believe that the age of jotun magic may even pre-date the coming of the human gods and the creation of the Bloodstones. Yet, during their long history of infighting, civil war, and slaughter, the jotun lost all knowledge and understanding of magic. Their powerful sages were killed, and their lore-keepers and mystics were wiped out before they could continue the tradition diablo 3 gold of jotun magic. All that remains of their once-great arcane spirituality are a few carved runes on forgotten, snow-covered peaks.
Recent History
“See this stone, and behold the power that will one day conquer the world.”
—Written on a jotun monument
Over the centuries of their existence, the jotun have fallen far from their state of grace, losing command of technology and magic they once utilized, and remembering their place as kings of the land only in legend and story. While jotun leaders struggle to reclaim ancient glories and grasp lost power for themselves, most scholars believe that the glory days of the ancient giant-kings are lost forever.
The jotun have lost many of the things that once made them great. Their lore is scattered, and much of it lost; any religion, higher learning, or secrets of invention that they once mastered have been eradicated, buy d3 gold and only the remnants of their once-great society remain. Like the massive stone monuments their people once raised that can still be found in the Shiverpeaks, the jotun have lost their purpose…and their meaning.
Now savage, vicious creatures, the jotun fall upon any traveler they see. Occasionally pacified by tribute and flattery, they may choose to let non-jotun pass with a threat or a beating. However, when two clans of jotun come upon one another, they are satisfied with nothing less than the complete eradication of the other.
Society
Jotun organize themselves into large tribes, related by blood or union, led by the strongest. This strength may come from arms, or magic, or any other ability—but it is always shown through physicality and brute force. The jotun do not respect a leader that is not physically able to enforce his laws and rulings. They would kill and replace anyone who lost gw2 gold their strength, failed, or did not lead the tribe to glory. A charr soldier may make a calculated decision to kill a failed leader in order to ensure victory for the warband. A jotun is more like a rabid beast, reflexively tearing one of their own to pieces at the first sign of weakness—no matter the long-term cost for the clan.
Jotun tend to segregate themselves by sex: males are more aggressive and take leadership roles, while females are relegated to childrearing. Males gather in small groups of blood-relations and constantly seek to eliminate any other jotun they discover in their clan’s territory. At its heart, the jotun’s internal warfare is intended to eliminate all those jotun not blood-related to a single clan. Because of this, it is critical for jotun to protect their females and children. A traveler will never see those in open territory, as the family unit is always well-hidden from the world guild wars 2 gold while the males hunt and bring back food for all.
While many of the more “barbaric” races of Tyria have a sense of honor or a code of ethics, the jotun have very few moral restrictions inherent in their society. They protect and defend their family, their clan, and their territory through whatever means necessary. A jotun will break his word, lie under oath, or act reprehensibly if he feels it will empower him or strengthen his clan (or destroy another). Individuals who have attempted to make peace with jotun tribes in the past have learned, much to their sorrow, that jotun only stick to such treaties as long as they clearly benefit from them. It is far more likely that a jotun clan bound by treaty is only biding their time or building their strength, planning soon to eradicate those foolish enough to trust them.
Religion
“Who do I worship? Ha! Myself!”
—Utahein, jotun chieftain
The closest thing that the jotun buy wow gold have to “religion” is their firm, avowed belief that their blood is magical—that it is powerful, and akin to the divine. Each clan of jotun reveres their ancestors and can trace their lineage back to some powerful giant-king of lore. Many of the tales of these giant-kings have taken on the feel and tenor of religious myths, and each clan calls to their legendary blood to empower them, see them through trials, and ensure them victory. While it cannot be said the jotun “worship” their ancestors, they certainly attempt to emulate them through conquest, single-minded self-absorption, and personal pride.
Behind the Scenes
Even though we had established the jotun in the original games, we wanted to really bring them to life in Guild Wars 2, particularly for the norn areas of the world. We wanted them to be more than “nasty customers with big clubs,” and the way we chose to do that was to give them a long history—but a tragic one. We wanted to make the ogres an old race and follow that with the jotun, since the two species are interlinked. Giving the jotun a history that had been lost—ruined by their own flaws—gives them a lot of depth and plays into the overall story of Guild Wars 2.
The new jotun art depicts the race as being taller and more intelligent looking than the art from the original Guild Wars, which helps to better illustrate the race’s history and the fact that they are sentient, smart creatures—not rock-tossing droolers. The primitivism we see in their clothing and weapons is a sharp contrast to the magical monuments located at their camps—and that, too, is deliberate. Showing the decline of a race from power and civilization into primitivism, all because they could not stop fighting amongst themselves, is important to the game’s theme. It illustrates what might happen if the player character races can’t give up their old arguments and unite against the threat of the Elder Dragons.

The Memoirs of Klaine; a Mesmer – Chapter I

I was a noble, a fancy Memser, and a vision in pink and purple. I was the most flamboyant man in Tyria – really, a Mesmer in pink/purple armor, you think you can top that? – and I was gorgeous. I slicked my hair back as I admired my reflection in the mirror. No, I wasn’t going to go all cray cray and ask the mirror who the fairest of them all was because I knew in my heart that it was me. Period.
Though I was born to riches and a silver spoon – literally – in my mouth, I knew I didn’t want to become one of those fat, jolly men who bathed in gold and didn’t give a tinker’s toot to the plight of the less fortunate. Yeah sure, we were rich now and could afford all kinds of luxurious fabrics and exotic meat from the land of Tyria but we should never ever tempt Fate because the cosmic universe just loves to throw you a curveball when you least expect it. And what that happens, all you horrible human beings who’ve never known hardship will be thrown out on your asses and starve to death.
And seriously, dolyak meat? Really? What the hell is wrong with you people?
I know what it’s like to be abandoned. I came out to my parents – seriously, how could they not have known? – and I was prepared d3 gold buy for their question: How fast can you get the hell out of my house? I should have guessed; it was the medieval times. No one was prepared for such a revolution but I knew that one day… one day, these people will recognise me for who I am. Not a fabulous gay man with the best fashion sense in Divinity’s Reach and Kryta, but a hero. A legend. A God walking amongst mere mortals.
I used to sit by this fountain and wonder when my time will come.
Finally tearing myself away from the mesmerising person in the mirror, I walked out of the house. As I traveled the streets of Divinity’s Reach, people walked past me in hushed tones, occasionally staring at me before hurrying away.
Whatever… The news of me being gay was so 250 years ago. And don’t be oh so surprised; what did you expect when I decided to pick the elegant and flamboyant magical arts of the Mesmer? What, did you think I picked it just because I could cast clones and illusions? THERE WAS PINK BUTTERFLIES. GET A CLUE.
Back to my zen self… I decided to travel out to Shaemoor today because I wanted to get some fresh air. Divinity’s Reach can be quite stifling, especially when d3 gold eu you’re invited to pretentious parties by people with more money than they know what to do with. Fake people with their fake laughs, haughty attitudes and the ignorant belief that they’re above everyone else.
"He's gay. He's not gay. He's gay. He's not gay..." Oh get a rose and shred some petals, sister!
Expecting to be greeted by a scenic view of lush greenery with white fluffy rabbits and Golden Moas, I stepped out of the ginormous double doors and gasped in the shock. The village was under attack by centaurs! Those foul beasts were setting cottages on fire and harassing the poor defenseless village folks. They trampled the crops with no mercy and hacked and slashed their way through the mass hysteria, slaying indiscriminately.
A Seraph ran past me to help but I heard a ‘swoosh’ and he crumbled to the ground. An arrow – presumably a centaur’s – had flown swift and true and found its way into his neck. I instinctively rolled out of the way as I heard a second ‘swoosh’ and another arrow missed my head by inches, shearing threads of my hair.
Not my hair, you bitch! I charged towards him before he could draw his bow again and unsheathed d3 items my sword; this had become personal. I stabbed the Tamini Archer with a flurry of fanciful strikes and it wasn’t long before he dropped to the floor, lifeless. A man behind me hollered for my attention and instructed me to head to the inn where it was safe. But it wasn’t a haven for long because Captain Thackery requested for reinforcements at the garrison and I valiantly volunteered.
Don’t get me wrong, I hate that bumbling, lovesick fool. I’ve heard of his legend of course, the once invincible Edge of Destiny which splintered after their defeat at the claws of Kralkatorrik, an Elder Dragon. All I know was that he picked Queen Jennah and decided to help defend Ebonhawk, while leaving the group defenseless. Irony was, Jennah ultimately saved the city with her mesmeric powers so I don’t see why she needed Captain Thackery anyway, other than to be a needy girlfriend. But this was about the people and the village. It was about saving lives.
I ran towards the garrison, lightning flashing and thunder roaring in the distance and all the while being pelted relentlessly by the rain. I was soaked to the bone but even then, I knew I looked good wet. The garrison gates were bolted and the armed guards yelled gw2 gold for me to defend against the invasion and I turned just in time to see a hoard of centaurs charging towards us. Swords, shields, bows and all.
My mind went, “We’re screwed.” But I raised my sword anyway, prepared to engage the first enemy when a ball of fire slammed into his chest. I looked up and saw a group of people racing towards us. I couldn’t tell how many there were with the rain blurring my vision but I could see that there was definitely an Elementalist, Ranger and Warrior in their midst.
I joined the battle and as I hacked and slashed, I was convinced I looked the best amongst my comrades. I was elegant with the handling of my sword, not barbaric. I didn’t have a pet, but I had clones which shattered in a shade of pink and butterflies. I didn’t command the forces of the elements, but my spells were accompanied by lavish pinky effects.
I destroyed my opponents with artistic swordsmanship, twirled and leapt into the air gracefully, and phased in and out with a pink hue. I am a swan. I flew gracefully amongst the battlefield, taking down enemies one by one and escaped unscathed, without so much as a speck of dirt on me. I truly am gorgeous.
The gates flew open and Captain Thackery ordered guild wars 2 guide us to join him at the other side where more centaur forces from their centaur lands were invading. It wasn’t long before we slaughtered the unfeeling beasts and almost their shaman until he incapacitated us with earth spikes and ran away with his tail between his legs. We gave chase only to stop in horror as he summoned an Earth Elemental. Or Earth Elemental hands to be exact. It was huge, unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. It was easily 10 times my height and it created a swirling vortex between its hands, sucking up everything around it.
The Hands. *Credit: Massively
I slashed at the stone and granite, pretty sure that I wasn’t doing any damage but slowly and surely, I was chipping away at its health. A piece of debris smashed into the ground beside me and a mini Earth Elemental spawned, arms raised, ready to beat me senseless until an arrow flew out of nowhere and hit him squarely in the face. It dealt no lasting damage to the elemental as I could see, but the poor arrow had been bent out of shape. A ferocious bear followed hot on the trail of the arrow and pounced on the elemental and its attention had now changed to the pet’s master.
I left the Ranger to his poor fate as I continued hacking away. It wasn’t long till Captain Thackery cautioned us to run back for the Elemental’s hands were going to explode but it was too late. The impact sent debris, trees, water mills, wagons and even cows flying in all direction. I took something heavy to the head and I blacked out.
Three days later, I regained consciousness and a Priestess of Dwayna informed me that a couple of my friends came to visit, including a Lord Faren who seemed awfully interested in her. She even advised me to get some fresh air and exercise and suggested I help the people of Shaemoor.
Fine by me, it was what I wanted to do anyway before I got dragged into this centaur debacle. To aid my journey, she offered a choice of two weapons I could use: Focus or pistol. I chose the pistol; gunning someone down had to be more fun than smacking them to death with a cowbell.
Invigorated, rejuvenated, energized and inspired, I stepped out of the inn into the lands of Shaemoor. Somehow, I knew the day had come. This was the day my adventure began. The day I became responsible to someone other than myself. This was the day I started my path to becoming a hero, not just of Shaemoor but Tyria. Little did I know how right I was and the horrors that awaited me beyond the fields of Shaemoor…

Wizard Strengths and Weaknesses

In the beta, I would have to say the Wizard has no real weakness. It is simply good at everything. By level 13, the Electrocute spell can be used repeatedly, runescape gold chains to multiple targets, and take down any weak enemy in 1-2 hits.
For single targets, the Shock Pulse buy wow gold spell (also Academic so can be chain-casted) deals 150+ damage non-crit when all three pulses hit. This is comparable swtor credits to any other classes’ strongest hit, and since you can use it over and over again it becomes really good.
It should be noted that in the gw2 gold beta, no enemy seems to do too much damage, especially if you have a piece or two of gear with +Vitality. I would assume in higher acts that the Wizard will not rift platinum be able to tank so easily (at least without speccing and gearing for it – there are definitely melee Wizard active and passive skills). This would make standing on top d3 gold of a powerful enemy and using Shock Pulse over and over again much more difficult.
The only real “downside” is you have no point to use up all your Arcane Power, though I suspect as soon as we are able to unlock Hydra and some of the better Offensive spells that will change. Right now you are best off using Electrocute and Shock Pulse, both of which are Academic Spells.

Diablo 3 Strategy Guide

Welcome to my Diablo 3 Guide. I have been a long-time Diablo fan (Diablo 2 is by far my favorite game of all-time) and as a hardcore Diablo 3 player and I will be sharing all the tricks and tips with you on how to collect the best items, what the best builds are, and how each class plays. Diablo 3 Guide – Class Guides The cornerstone of this website is what all Diablo 3 players | cheapest d3 gold are looking for – class guides. Below, you can find links to our guides on each class, which covers everything from the best builds and runes for each ability to the best equipment for your character. You can find our D3 guides for each class below: •Diablo 3 Barbarian Guide •Diablo 3 Demon Hunter Guide •Diablo 3 Monk Guide •Diablo 3 | d3 gold for sale Witch Doctor Guide •Diablo 3 Wizard Guide I have now finished creating guides for each class in the game, so feel free to spend some time to compare the classes. Since the beta only ran to level 13, I have not been able to test out all the advanced skills and runes for each class. Once the game comes out, each class’s ability list will be finished | diablo 3 gold off to include the abilities and runes we do not have access to in the beta. Diablo 3 Strategy Guide – Class Balance I know that a lot of people when they first start out a game want to pick a good class. After all, you do not want to go all the way to level 60 and then start working on your gear only to see another class with worse gear is able to clear enemies three times guild wars 2 gold faster than you. Right now, I can tell you not to worry about picking which class is good or bad. All classes are pretty good in Diablo 3. It is not like Diablo 2 at all where some classes were far superior to one another. In Diablo 3, the standardization of weapon damage and stats has made it much easier to keep each class relatively equal when it comes to relative strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, buy guild wars 2 gold at least within the first 6 months of release before players get really geared out, the difficulty of the game is very high. No matter what class you play, you cannot recklessly charge into packs and blow them up with AoE attacks without even thinking like you could in Diablo 2. If you run into a pack of tough enemies in Inferno mode of Diablo 3 with that sort of attitude, you will find yourself dead pretty quickly. This means that you do not have to worry too much about class balance as they all are pretty good when monster difficulty becomes that high. I will update this D3 guide if that ever changes and one class seems particularly strong. Then again, if you are like me, you will have every class leveled up to the max and will be able to pick whichever one you feel like playing that day, regardless of strength!

Symbol for gathering trainers on your fleet

Each of the three categories have different roles to play and many possible combinations that they can be taken in. As of right now the choices you can make when selecting your 3 to train in are the following: Crafting SkillsThese are taken to select the type of items you and your crew will be able to make in game, this determines what kind of schematics will be sold to you from your crafting trainer, what types of schematics you runescape gold, can use and learn from drops as loot, and this will also be the choice that determines what type of other missions or gathering skills will have a good synergy with your crafting choice. You can only choose ONE of these Crafting Skills per character. Gathering SkillsThese skills are specifically designed to allow you or your companion to gather materials to either support crafting swtor credits, skills or to be able to provide resources collected to the Galactic Trade Market for sale or to other players in trade or another of your characters on same server, same faction, as mail deliveries. They also have the possibility to return a “critical” mission reward as a high quality item or schematic as loot. A character that chose 3 gathering skills You can choose one to three of buy runescape gold, the Gathering Skills in what ever combo you wish. Mission SkillsThese skills are specifically designed like gathering skills, to allow you or your companion to gather materials to either support crafting skills or to be able to provide resources collected to the Galactic Trade Market for sale or to other players in trade or another of your characters on same server, same faction, as mail deliveries. They buy swtor credits also have the possibility to return a critical mission reward as a high quality item or schematic as loot. Some of them can reward light and darkside points as a way to help you manage your characters morality path progression. A character that chose 3 Mission Skills You can choose from one to three of the Mission Skills in what ever combo you wish. So in theory there are many possibilities that you could runescape money mix and match with, but for the purpose of this guide we will stick with the idea that Bioware is designing these skill and certain class choices to have a synergy and be able to work together and support each other and the class. For example here is a solid choice that a character that would be playing a bounty hunter might choose to be able to support their needs. Character that chose a armormech synergy to compliment swtor gold the heavy armor equipment need He is a heavy armor user as a advanced class Mercenary so he has decided that he wants to be able to supply his need for heavy armored gear and related type items. He chose: “Armormech” crafting crew skill to make the armor he can wear “Scavenging” the gathering skill that returns components need for the crafting skill, and lastly “Underworld Trading” as the mission skill that also returns components needed runescape gold fast delivery for the crafting process. So depending on your class choice and the needs they might have, like a Jedi needing lightsabers, or a Trooper needing big guns, you might want to pick a synergy like some of these to make sure that you are able to provide yourself with the items that you will be needing to equip and constantly replace as you level. Blasters: Armstech, Scavenging, Treasure Hunting Droid Armor: Cybertech, Scavenging, Slicing Force equipment swtor power leveling Items: Artifice, Archaeology, Diplomacy Force Armor: Synthweaving, Archaeology, Diplomacy Gadgets like grenades etc: Cybertech, Scavenging, Treasure Hunting Heavy Armor: Armormech, Scavenging, Underworld Trading Lightsabers: Artifice, Archaeology, Treasure Hunting Medium Armor: Armormech, Scavenging, Investigation Stims or other medical enhancers, consumables: Biochem, Bioanalysis, Underworld Trading This is not a all inclusive list but it is a great start that steers the New to Moderate player experience level in the right direction. I hope you have found some help from this guide in understanding crew skills combos that make sense and have a good synergy to your characters needs! Please leave any and all comments, questions, or reply’s to this guide. Your time and thoughts are appreciated. Follow me on Twitter for notification of new General game play and crew skills guides being posted and also for news about updates to these guides.

SWTOR Sith Inquisitor Leveling Guide


Let’s get evil!The outrageous Sith Inquisitor is going to destroy anyone who comes close with a double-bladed lightsaber in the dark. If you don’t feel like following the moral code living through the moral story, you are going to love advancing as a Sith Inquisitor and following I am going to share a little Swtor Sith Inquisitor leveling guide which hopefully will help you enrich your leveling experience.Leveling the Dark Sith InquisitorStarting  gw2 gold out as a poor Sith Inquisitor you will face a great deal of ordeal with a young rival who would only want to see you die; however a good Inquisitor is going to seize every possible chance to knock him down while the one behind is almost fated to get frustrated.In the early levels, you will gain Shock and Force Lightning abilities – Which can be your highest energy damage; you will want to use Shock guild wars 2 gold as often as you can to dispatch the foes along with Thrash and Sabre Strike, which both deal out melee damages.Make sure you are out of combat before using the fancy Force Lightning spell if you don’t want to lose any ticks of the spell, and you can use it instead of Thrash when you are not taking damage.Whenever you are faced more than a single target, use Overload (level 3) to deal energy knockback and damage cheap gw2 gold to the enemies, especially use it to enjoy stunning standard and weak targets for 3 seconds.This ability can create a good combined effect with Force Lightning; you can use Overload to knock the enemies down and make sure you won’t get interrupted before using Force Lightning to finish them off.As you reach level 6, you will get even more fun with two new abilities – Electrocute and Whirlwind, which allows you to crowd control tougher buy gw2 gold groups of targets for 8 seconds before you use Electrocute to stun and damage them and then use the vibroblade to kill them all off. Make sure you don’t break the Whirlwind on the target you have tabbed by damaging the target halfway.Click Here for the SWTOR Complete Strategy GuideWhen it comes to defense, Inquisitor only wears light armor despite how destructive and how “dark” it is. Luckily, the first companion, Khem Val that you will unlock gw2 power leveling at level 10 is going to come as a heavy tank who is so willing to absorb huge amount of damage for you and letting you enjoy playing with your shocking spells.You will definitely want to use your pal as a tank while you handle the killing if you want to survive longer; you certainly don’t want it to go down because it means you won’t last long, so be sure to enhance your Force and his Endurance.At the same time, you may be the light side but Val is pure  dark, so it is much wiser to choose the Dark Side if you don’t want to make the evil Khem Val unhappy (you surely don’t want), because Val could mean a huge threat to you. So just remain dark, keep killing, shocking and spelling and you will be pretty happy with the huge helping tank!To read on about leveling the Advanced Class of Sith Inquisitor – Sorcerer & Assassin, as well as the two recommended Crew Skills for the Inquisitor, see the Sorcerer & Assassin Strategy Guide.

Summoning Your Corpse

Death in EQ is unlike most games out there. Starting at level 6 when you die you will start to lose a small fraction of XP. The good news about this is if you get a rez (Resurrection) you will gain some of that XP back (up to 100%). Bind Locations A bind location is where you will be returned to when you die. To select a bind location you must have a caster use Bind Affinity on you in specific places (Usually safe locations like cities or specific camps around norrath) or tell a Soul Binder diablo 3 gold "Bind my Soul". You are able to change your bind location at any time and as many times as you'd like. Resurrecting After you die you will be given a Release Box. Your options are to release or wait for a rez. Releasing will return you to your bind location and you will be able to look for a rez there. If someone is around to rez you (Healer in your group, or healer merc) then don't release and wait for a rez. When someone resurrects you an additional guild wars 2 gold box will pop up and ask you if you'd like to accept. Click "ok" and where it said "Resurrect" in red it will become green. Select that and click Respawn. You can be resurrected from any class that is able to cast a rez. The classes that can rez you are Druid, Paladin, Shaman, Cleric, Necromancer and a healer merc. Clerics are the only class that is able to give you a 96% rez, the other rez's are only 90% (Aside from Necromancer's which is 93%). After diablo 3 items you are rezzed you will be under the effects of Resurrection Sickness. Resurrection Sickness decreases all of your stats and will prevent you from using OOC regen for 3 minutes. Keep in mind if someone rezzes you it's generous to tip! Please Note: Something to keep in mind is that when you die and get a rez the XP you get restored is based off of how much you lost when you died. That's confusing isn't it? Ok here's an example. Say you die and lose 7% XP, you get a rez for 96%. The gw2 gold 96% will restore 96% of that 7% that you lost. In other words you'll get 6.72% of the XP you lost restored back to you. Consequences of Death - When you die you will be returned to your bind spot. This is the location where you were previously bound. - If you are level 6 or above you will lose XP when you die. If you are below level 6 you will just be returned to your bind spot. - If you release you will be returned to your bind location at full health with 20% Mana and 20% Endurance. You d3 gold will not be able to use OOC regen for 1 minute. - The amount of XP you lose is anywhere from 5% or 10% towards your next level. You only lose XP into your level, you do not lose AA xp. Summoning Your Corpse You can summon your corpse to the Guild Lobby by buying a soulstone from the Disciple of Luclin and giving it to the Priestess of Luclin. Below is a picture and table of the soulstones required to summon your body. Minor Soulstone - Up to and Level 20 Lesser Soulstone - Up to and Level d3 items 30 Soulstone - Up to and Level 40 Greater Soulstone - Up to and Level 50 Faceted Soulstone - Up to and Level 55 Pristine Soulstone - Up to and Level 70 Glowing Soulstone - Up to and Level 75 Prismatic Soulstone - Up to and Level 80 Iridescent Soulstone - Up to and Level 85 The easiest way to search for a soulstone is to double click "Qty" It will bring up all the items with an infinite amount at the vendor, aka soulstones. Once you have the Soulstone you give it to the "Corpse Summoner" to rift platinum bring your bodies to the Guild Lobby. Corpse Dragging & Consenting At times it may not be convenient to return to the Guild Lobby to summon a corpse. You may find it necessary to simply drag a corpse to a safer location within a zone, and rez there. To drag a corpse, you will need to use the /corpsedrag command and you will also need the player who's corpse it is to give you consent. 1. If you don't have consent to a corpse tell the player he has to type "/consent "Players name" For example say it's me who needs to drag your corpse. Type "/Consent Almar" and it will give me permission to drag your corpse. 2. To begin dragging a corpse approach it and type "/corpsedrag" 3. To stop dragging a corpse type "/corpse" while targeting the corpse. Past Changes - You no longer lose gear when you die. - You no longer have the dreaded corpse runs to your body. You are able to summon your corpse to the Guild Lobby. - You lose less XP when you die. - Addition of the "Release Box" when you die so you don't immediately zone, you can wait for a rez.

Runescape Random Events Guide

There are many different Random Events in Runescape. They were originally invented to help stop the cheaters. Their levels are reasonable to the player that they are after, and they give plenty of time to get away. However, if you are using a macro, you have little to no chance of life. That was their idea as a solution to the problem, but of course as everything else, it has grown into other things. You might still see the occasional Rock Golem, Tree Spirit, or River Troll , every once in awhile.Of course, now they have plain out Random runescape gold Events rather than just when you're using a skill. Some of the more common ones around Runescape are the frogs, the Freaky Forester, The Genie, The Sandwich Lady, and The Security Guard. There are a lot of different ones, but let's start with these.The frogs will give you different things, if your a man, you will get prince clothes and a frog's head (a mask), and if you are a woman you will get a princess outfit and a frog head mask. These can be gotten from the Varrok clothes shop using a frog coin. swtor credits For the Freaky Forester, simply do as he says and you will get some rather interesting clothes.The Genie is a simple talk and get event, its one of my personal favorites. He will give you a magic lamp, which you can rub and get experience, points in the skill of your choice.The Sandwich lady will offer you a specific sort of food, if you ignore her or pick the wrong one, you will be sent far away. Then of course, the Security Guard. I have seen loads of these, If you ignore him it will be a battle, runescape money if you answer to him he will give you a strong hold book, and maybe some sort of gift, personally I prefer the battle, usually I just get close to killing him then he disappears. The Drill Demon is a fun Runescape Random Event, he will give you a nice work out, and if you succeed, you will get some really cool army clothes. If you have the full outfit you will get coins. If you happen upon a Strange Plant and pick its Strange Fruit, you have a fruit that will give back 30% energy and even remove poison just like an Anti-poison swtor gold potion! If you don't pick the fruit, the plant will attack and poison you, the poison doing two damage per strike.You use to be able to fight with the Swarm of Bees, but now all you can do is stand there taking their easy hits of 1 and 2, or of course just walk away. Grab the evil twin is a very fun Random Event, where you have to use a claw to choose the twin of Molly. You only get two tries, so choose carefully! There are a lot more Random Events out there, like the rock that shoots out bubbles. If you keep mining it, the rock will blowup and your  picaxe will break. Alternatively, the Whirlpool on fishing. If you keep fishing, your equipment will be sucked underwater. I have found that Random Events are more likely to happen when you are doing something (mining, smithing, killing, and so on) then when you are just standing around. Of course, they do happen when you're just standing, but they happen to me a lot more when I am doing something. Good luck out there, if you happen to meet the Evil Chicken, I would suggest Protection from Magic, as it uses Magic - runescape-blog.com instead of meelee. Happy Playing!

RuneScape Guide to Making Profits Training Magic, Making Teleport Tablets

Magic can be trained while at the same time gaining the RuneScape player profits following this money making method. Since magic is usually a costly skill to train, this method may be employed when in need of cash runescape gold to enable RuneScape players to still make progress in their training.
RuneScape players will need the required runes for the specific teleport. A piece of soft clay is buy runescape gold also required. The RuneScape player also needs his own lectern or has the use of another RuneScape player's lectern that contains the desired spell option. Lastly, the RuneScape cheap runescape gold player must have a magic level high enough to cast the spell normally.
To maximize speed, RuneScape players should make use of teleportation to house and to bank. A mounted amulet of glory, teleport runescape money portal room, or worn amulet of glory, ring of dueling, or ring of kinship are some options available to RuneScape players.
RuneScape players should wield the staff that provides the most expensive runes used wow gold in the teleport or enchant tablet, and bring stacks of the other runes. The remaining inventory spots are used for soft clay. As teleport tablets stack, a beast of burden can be efficiently used, also.
RuneScape players can make guild wars 2 gold over a thousand teleport tablets per hour, with 1,000-1,200 being an approximate range. Server lag, player efficiency or lack of thereof, and other factors may affect the time. Magic experience per hour varies, depending on the tablet being made.
Teleport tablets grant 100% the normal experience from casting the spell, while enchant jewelry tablets 75%. Multiply that number by the approximate amount per hour to determine potential magic experience per hour from this magic training method.

SWTOR Imperial Agent Companion Guide

Here, as promised, is my SWTOR Imperial Agent Companion Guide, which will inform you on everything you need to know about the companion’s you will receive whilst playing as an Imperial Agent.

Regardless of which class you choose to play as, you will always get 5 companions and a ship droid. Imperial Agents are very similar to the Smuggler class in the Republic allegiance. They use the same sorts of moves and both can specialize I either DPS or Healing when choosing your advanced class at level 10.

Kaliyo D’jannis

Kaliyo Djannis prizes her freedom and will lie, murder and blackmail in order to ensure that she is in control of a situation and able to indulge her vices. Known to pursue lengthy vendettas to redress grievances. Possess a track record of expertly manipulating employers, swtor credits lovers and associates (agents should not be fooled by attempts at seduction).

As with many mercenaries, her loyalty cannot be purchased, but her services can be -if only temporarily. You will find Kaliyo on Hutta, the starter planet for Imperial Agents, at around level 8. She prefers the use of Blaster Pistols or Blaster Rifles, and uses a Shield Generator off-hand. She specializes in being a ranged DPS, therefore her main attributes are Aim and Endurance.

2V-R8

When you receive your ship at the end of Dromund Kaas, you will notice there is a new companion on board called 2V-R8. As you will soon find out, he isn’t much use what so ever, as he isn’t designed for combat. If, for some obscure reason you choose to use him in battle, his buy swtor credits stances can be changed to either punch with his fists or heal.

He is not very strong in either stance though, so I would recommend using a different companion. You can also equip him with new parts that may be offered to you upon completing quests. You cannot gain affection with 2V-R8, and although he doesn’t have a specific proficiency in crew skills, this is all I ever use ship droids for, as to not use a companion you will require in combat.

Vector Hyllis

Vector is a male human who specializes in melee DPS. You will be able to recruit him to your crew at around level 27, once you finish your class quests on Alderaan. He prefers use of an Electrostaff and a generator due to being melee in combat. Vector Hyllus has repeatedly expressed admiration for Imperial swtor gold accomplishments while indicating a desire to spread Imperial influence through diplomatic channels.

Although he is an Imperial character, he has a light personality, meaning if you wish to play as a female character and romance him, or even just gain his affection as a male, he prefers light conversation options.

Doctor Eckard Lokin

Doctor Lokin is the only healing companion you will receive as an Imperial Agent. You can find him on Taris at around level 32. His age and surname suggest Lokin was born on Dromund Kaas during the pre-war years.

Files acquired during Operation: Freefall reference a “Dr. E. Lokin” working as Science and Medical Advisor to Kaas City military police during this period, but no visual is provided. If this is your first ever character to reach wow gold this level on SWTOR, you will unlock your legacy title, giving your character a surname, plus lots of other cool things to be announced in March. Doctor Lokin, unfortunately, is not romance-able.

Ensign Raina Temple

Enign Raina Temple is a human female companion who is available to recruit once you’ve completed your class quests on Hoth. This will probably be at around level 41, though this can vary dependent upon how fast or slow you choose to complete them. She is an Imperial agent herself, working on Hoth for the Chiss Ascendancy.

She works with the Chiss and avoids direct contact with the empire as she fears her innate force sensitivity might be discovered. Although she loves the empire and the Sith, she has a light personality, and therefore can be romanced by a male who gains enough affection with her.

Scorpio

Scorpio is different to most SWTOR companions as it doesn’t have a gender, though it identifies as female. She is a droid, who joins your crew after completion of the planet Belsavis. This should be at around level 45 dependent on your progression speed. Scorpio specializes in being a melee Tank, and therefore prefers the use of an Electrostaff and Shield Generator. She is definitely more useful than 2V-R8, the ship droid, though she still isn’t romance-able.

So there we have it, my SWTOR Imperial Agent Companion Guide. I hope it provided you with all the information you needed, though if it didn’t, I have in depth articles on each individual companion available, so feel free to check them out.

GOP Consultants Would Love To Help (Themselves To) Rick Santorum('s Money)

Rick Santorum's path to the nomination remains stuck somewhere on the spectrum between improbable and implausible. But at the moment, the candidate has got a better-than-even chance to steal back some of the momentum that the media narrative can provide, should he manage to win this week's contests in Alabama and Mississippi. With so much hanging in the balance, Santorum's social conservative patrons have picked this moment to step up their support -- to the tune of $1.78 million, perhaps more. So with the campaign still alive and kicking and its bank accounts about to get refreshed, wow gold it's as good a time as any for vulture consultants to swoop in and offer to carry off some of the scraps, in return for some dubious promises! That's the under-the-radar takeaway from Alexander Burns' piece in Politico today about Santorum's reliance on a tight "team of pals" to run his campaign. See, while the candidate's "shoestring, seat of the pants-style campaigning" may have been "charming and even admirable" for a while, it's time for Santorum to face facts and bring in "a more expansive, professional political operation," composed of consultants buy wow gold and strategists who've thus far spent the entire campaign not believing in Santorum's candidacy. To a certain extent, there's a good point to be made about how Santorum's low-budget campaign team has caused some unnecessary setbacks. The candidate's failure to get on the ballot in Virginia looms large, as does his failure to get all of his delegates in place in Ohio. Those are the sorts of problems that occur when your campaign lacks basic amenities in staffing and infrastructure. Of course, everyone has known that Santorum's been in this pickle for some time. Back cheap wow gold in mid-February, Jonathan Chait made mention of the fact that Santorum had "no pollster, no campaign headquarters, and no paid advance staff." And I've mentioned previously that Santorum's operation in Michigan, for a long while, was a guy with a Facebook fan page. All of which suggests that what Santorum could really use is a heavy investment in the basics. But the anonymous helper who shows up in Burns' piece has something different in mind: Santorum's campaign, said one Republican familiar with his operation, has "never shown an ability to drop a bomb and drive a story." "I wow gold eu almost feel like with [Santorum], he's their only messenger. ... They need to add more brains to the operation and more high-level people -- people that have run a U.S. Senate campaign, people who have worked at one of the party committees," the Republican said. "Feb. 7 [when Santorum won three primaries and caucuses] provided them an opportunity to address some of these problems. Right now, this period in the race does the same thing." Yeah, Rick! Ol' anonymous consultant has some "high-level brains" that are prepared to sell you a monorail some "story-driving bombs" that will really GAME CHANGE -- for the right price. Magical narrative bombs are the last thing Santorum needs to be investing in at the moment. What he could really use are more boots at ground level, doing the unsexy campaign work, like helping to turn out the vote in the coming contests and to wrangle as many delegates he can from those that have past. (By the way, he's already done the latter.) He should be very leery of "GOP consultants" who approach him bearing gifts now, after spending the better part of the past year pointedly not getting involved in his campaign. Unless he wants to be in debt to campaign carrion-eaters for the next few years.

Newt Gingrich Cancels Kansas Campaign Stops

After wining only one state on Super Tuesday, Newt Gingrich is refocusing his campaign efforts, and they don't include Kansas.

According swtor credits to Politico, the former House speaker canceled two days' worth of planned campaign buy swtor credits stops in the Sunflower State ahead of its caucuses Saturday.

Mitt Romney is also skipping Kansas. According swtor gold to the Dodge Globe, only Ron Paul and Rick Santorum will visit the state.

The former Pennsylvania senator made it clear during a campaign stop Wednesday in Lenexa, Kan., that he is setting high expectations for Saturday.

"We have to do well in Kansas -- no, we have to WIN in Kansas, and win big," Santorum said, according to a tweet from MSNBC's Mike O'Brien.

In 2008, Mike Huckabee won Kansas and Mitt Romney came in a distant fourth.

Greece's Debt Crisis Bodes Ill for Us All

I think of myself as an optimist. Over the years, I have seen a lot of crises resolved, as often as not by what can only be described as muddling through.



It is hard to see how the world will muddle through the Greek debt crisis. "New Bailout is a Reprieve for Greece, but Doubts Persist," was the February 21 headline in the New York Times. Count me among the doubters.



As complicated as the debt crisis is, the resolution of the problem is in the hands of two governments -- Germany and Greece -- and, more importantly, the electorates in each of those democracies.



Before I explain that, let's look at how grim runescape gold the situation is. The Greek national debt stands at 160 percent of GDP. In order to get relief from the rest of the eurozone (read: Germany), the government had to agree to get that down to 120.5 percent by 2020. In order to do that, Greece has introduced severe austerity measures that will slash 150,000 government jobs, cut private sector wages by 22 percent, reduce or eliminate pensions, sell off public enterprises, and raise taxes. All this in a country where unemployment among those under 25 is just under 50 percent.



Here's the catch-22: if the government were able to buy runescape gold do all of this (a big if), the immediate effects on the Greek economy would be crushing. The austerity measures are bound to shrink the economy, thus making the debt to GDP ratio even worse.



Meanwhile bondholders have agreed to a 50 percent cut in value, and the second round of bailouts just announced allows Greece temporarily to avoid a default. But what happens now?



Within Greece, the people have to agree with what their leaders have promised to its eurozone benefactors. Will they accept the extreme hardships that will be imposed on them? Greece is a democracy. Ultimately, the government cheap runescape gold will either respond to what the people want or it will fall. The riots and the burning of buildings in Athens aren't hopeful signs for the current government.



Germany, which essentially controls the eurozone, is a democracy as well. Just how many billions of their money will the German people sacrifice to prop up a country they consider irresponsible? Contrary to many press reports, Germany has demonstrated more than most countries a willingness to take on the burdens of others. West Germany shouldered a herculean economic load when the wall came down and it merged with East Germany. But a strong majority rs gold of Germans do not believe they should finance a country like Greece, particularly when the social benefits offered there have been greater than their own.

Put yourself in a German's place. You pick up your newspaper last October and read that Diomidis Spinellis, Secretary General of the special task force to stop tax evasion in the Greek Finance Ministry, has thrown up his hands in disgust and quit because of what he describes as a "deficit of management" will to stop the corruption that permeates the tax system. Obviously the systematic tax evasion that has long been part of Greek culture is proving difficult to change. Spinellis charged cheap wow gold that tax collectors continue to skim off the top of taxes they do collect, and many publicly identified tax avoiders have still not paid their taxes. Am I, as a German, going to support my government if it wants to send more of my money to this place?



Add this: if you are a law-abiding Greek taxpayer, given what austerity is doing to your job or your business, paying greatly increased taxes may prove to be impossible.



There are lots of catch-22s in this terrible crisis, and they should have been taken into account when the eurozone was first established. The countries that joined gave up control of their individual monetary policies when they lost the ability to control their money supply. It was clear from the beginning that Germany would end up in effective control of eurozone monetary policy because of its size, economic power and culture. It should also have been clear that part of that culture was a deeply ingrained fear of inflation, a legacy of the collapse of the Weimar Republic.



We are watching a tragedy unfold, one that could ultimately have wide-ranging negative effects on our own economy. I can only wish I were more optimistic about our chances of muddling through.

Slavery and the Presidents: Where Is the Public Acknowledgement?

On Feb. 9, a member of Congress took an important step in attempting to educate the nation about an important slice of history relative to the White House. Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY) sent a letter to President Barack Obama to suggesting that the latter find a way to commemorate those enslaved individuals who helped to build the White House.







The letter stated, in part, "An acknowledgement of the role of slave labor displayed in the White House would be an important swtor credits symbol that the United States does not run from its history, but rather learns from it." The White House, of course, is an important icon of the nation's identity but embodies one of its most long-standing contradiction: a revolution against tyranny that maintain (and expanded) the enslavement of millions.







According to the White House website, in the last two years alone, there were 1.5 million individuals buy swtor credits who visited the White House. None of those visitors would necessarily know that 12 U.S. presidents were slaveholders and seven of them had slaves in the building we now call the White House which opened in 1801. There is no mention of these facts either in White House tourist brochures or any other documents given to visitors.







George Washington is not included in this scenario because he and nine of his slaves spent his presidency swtor gold in Philadelphia. Ironically, a plaque does exist recognizing those nine individuals which is part of the new pavilion in Philadelphia that houses the Liberty Bell. The pavilion is built over the site and specifically the slave quarters where Washington lived as president. It took a decade of protests, lawsuits, and grassroots activism to finally get the National Park Service to include the plaque which it initially refused to do.







Plaques wow gold also exist that acknowledge the slaves who helped to build the U.S. Capitol, many of whom also worked on the White House. In June 2010, Congress dedicated two plaques in "Emancipation Hall" at the Congressional Visitor's Center. The plaques state, "This original exterior wall was constructed between 1793 and 1800 of sandstone quarried by laborers, including enslaved African Americans who were an important part of the work force that built the United States Capitol."







As buy wow gold noted, many of these individuals built the White House between 1790 and 1800. This included unskilled as well as skilled labor. For example, there were at least five black carpenters -- Peter, Ben, Daniel, Harry, and Tom -- who worked on both structures. Slave labor also cut down trees, made bricks, cleared the land, and performed many, many other tasks all without pay, adequate food, or basic health care.







A public plaque or some other display would, in part, complete the circle of owning the history of presidents, Congress, and slavery. While there are hundreds of memorials, plaques, and other means that present a false narrative of American history, there are too few that genuinely tell the more complicated and often harsh reality that many faced as U.S. democracy unfolded.

As Rep. Ackerman notes in his letter, "I urge you to take steps to have an appropriate representation acknowledging the role of slave labor in constructing the White House in an area of public viewing."

Let Us Honor Slave-Owning Presidents?

Here it is again, the intersection of Presidents Day and Black History Month. Eight of our early presidents, beginning with George Washington, owned slaves during their tenure in the nation's highest office. The two I am most familiar with, given my career at the historic sites of Monticello and Montpelier, and as the author of the recently published A Slave in the White House (Palgrave Macmillan, $28.00) are Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.

Jefferson and Madison owned over a hundred enslaved people at their Virginia plantations and took several slaves with them to swtor credits the White House. Running the domestic side of the executive mansion was a private undertaking then, and the third and fourth president each assembled a household staff, headed by a French steward, of about ten: white and free black workers, slaves hired in the capital, as well as slaves from their plantation.

Slavery was not a debate. It was a crime being perpetrated on real people in real time.

Ten-year-old Paul Jennings was one of the home slaves selected by President James Madison for the White House household staff. As a buy swtor credits footman Jennings set and served meals, assisted the coachman, and ran messages and other errands. Later he became Madison's personal manservant or valet, and in freedom he authored the first White House memoir.

One enslaved man, John Freeman, served as a White House footman during both Jefferson's and Madison's administrations. Jefferson purchased Freeman in 1804 with the understanding, set by his former master, that he was to be freed in sixteen years. In 1809, the year Madison's first term began, the third president sold Freeman to his swtor gold successor for $231.81 (calculated to the penny based on Freeman's remaining time as a slave). This is the only recorded instance of the sale of human property between these two presidents, though Jefferson also sold a woman, Thenia Hemings, and her five young daughters, to another of our slave-owning presidents, James Monroe.

It is easy to see the contradiction--some say hypocrisy--in the author of the Declaration of Independence and the father of the Constitution lording over plantations of more than one hundred slaves and presiding over a government wow gold devoted to upholding individual rights while being served by enslaved footmen in livery.

Yet we tend to make excuses for the failure of our Founding Fathers to end slavery. They were men of their time, they had to put union first, they did not understand that we are all one biological race. We look back and see slavery less as a political issue, more as a moral offense. The truth is that Madison and Jefferson saw it that way, too.

Madison acknowledged that slavery was an evil of great magnitude, a "moral, social and economical" failure. Jefferson called it an "abominable buy wow gold crime" and a "moral depravity" and allowed that should a violent contest between slaves and slave owners transpire, there was no doubt which side God would be on.

Both men supported gradual emancipation if something could be done with the free blacks. It was the concept of colonization, the transport of free blacks to Africa that offered Madison relief from his despair over slavery. Maybe all slaves could be freed, he wrote, if the "double operation"--emancipation followed by colonization--was put in place.

Thus in the end it was not slavery but race--racism--that was the cheap wow gold sticking point. Jefferson and Madison thought that people of color should enjoy the same individual rights as white citizens. But not here. They averred that black and white could never live harmoniously in America together.

Two centuries later (centuries!) we are still working on proving them wrong in their prediction, still working on realizing a truly pluralistic society that all Americans honor.

Paul Jennings's great grandson, Dr. C Herbert Marshall, who, along with his fellow black doctors, could not practice in all-white hospitals or even join the American Medical Association, wrote an "op-ed" in the Negro History Bulletin in February of 1960 that started off, " I have every reason to be proud of being an American." It concluded, "Today, we find ourselves on the threshold of a new era ushering in the type of freedom for all for which my fore-parents sacrificed so much."

If Dr. Marshall could offer that positive a sentiment in February 1960, then certainly we in February 2012 can take a sanguine view of the distance we have come since then. If we are not post-racial yet, we are getting there. No matter the sins of the Fathers, it is on us now. A sprint to the finish, anyone? Everyone?

In the Debate on Immigration, Deportation Must Be Sensible

The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, in his Roll Call op-ed ("President Is Ignoring Immigration Laws," Feb. 6), argues that a policy of deporting serious criminals instead of parents, military families and students attending college is bad for the country. Once again the Republicans are on the wrong side of the law-and-order approach to immigration.

Like so many Republican accusations swtor credits about this president, the ones surrounding immigration come straight out of a fantasy world. I wish we had the president that Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) says we have. If we did, I could have saved two trips to Park Police headquarters for being arrested in front of the White House protesting the president's deportation policies.

I praise buy swtor credits the president when he does well, and I criticize him when he's wrong. But the fact is that President Barack Obama has deported more people, put more personnel on the ground at the border and reduced illegal entry more than any previous president. He is proud of it and trumpets it frequently. But through the Republican political lens, he appears to be a president swtor gold who is soft on illegal immigration.

The question is not how many people to deport. Unfortunately, given the complete obstructionism of the Republican side to craft a more sensible alternative, we are stuck with a system that forcibly removes about 400,000 people per year, with huge costs to taxpayers, families and communities. A population about the size of Minneapolis is deported runescape gold every year, and we have reached our capacity to deport more.

For this president, the question has not been how many to deport but who to deport first. Republicans say we should deport anyone we find, even if that means reducing the number of criminals we deport and reducing the capacity of both local law enforcement and our criminal courts to go after actual violent criminals -- regardless buy runescape gold of whether they are immigrants. A sophomore in college or a handyman with two U.S. citizen children are simply not threats to public safety. But Republicans want them prioritized equally with someone who has murdered, driven while drunk or trafficked drugs. That is plain crazy, but that is the Republican approach to immigration.

When this Congress is over and the president is re-elected, I rs gold fully expect a debate on how we re-establish law and order in our immigration system, and I fully expect the leading Republicans on the immigration issue to fight every attempt at reform tooth and nail. Too many on that side of the aisle are addicted to scapegoating and denigrating immigrants -- and Democrats -- to have it any other way.

But the rest of us want a legal immigration system that works and a way for those who have been here for years and built lives here -- the vast majority of those who are here illegally in the absence of a functioning legal immigration system -- to get in the system and on the books so that immigration enforcement has teeth and employers play by the rules.

We will have that debate eventually, over the strenuous objections of Republicans who oppose a sensible law-and-order approach to immigration reform.

The Decline of Public Good

Meryl Streep's eery reincarnation of Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady brings to mind Thatcher's most famous quip, "there is no such thing as 'society.'" None of the dwindling herd of Republican candidates has quoted her yet but they might as well considering their unremitting bashing of everything public.

What defines a society is a set of mutual benefits and duties embodied most visibly in public institutions -- wow gold public schools, public libraries, public transportation, public hospitals, public parks, public museums, public recreation, public universities, and so on.

Public institutions are supported by all taxpayers, and are available to all. If the tax system is progressive, those who better off (and who, presumably, have benefitted from many of these same public institutions) help pay runescape gold for everyone else.

"Privatize" means pay-for-it-yourself. The practical consequence of this in an economy whose wealth and income are now more concentrated than any time in 90 years is to make high-quality public goods available to fewer and fewer.

Much of what's called "public" is increasingly a private good paid for by users -- ever-higher tolls on public highways and public bridges, rs gold higher tuitions at so-called public universities, higher admission fees at public parks and public museums.

Much of the rest of what's considered "public" has become so shoddy that those who can afford to find private alternatives. As public schools deteriorate, the upper-middle class and wealthy send their kids to private ones. As public pools and playgrounds decay, they buy memberships in private tennis | swtor credits and swimming clubs. As public hospitals decline, they pay premium rates for private care.

Gated communities and office parks now come with their own manicured lawns and walkways, security guards, and backup power systems.

Why the decline of public institutions? The financial squeeze on government at all levels since 2008 explains only part of it. The slide really started more than three decades ago with | swtor credits so-called "tax revolts" by a middle class whose earnings had stopped advancing even though the economy continued to grow. Most families still wanted good public services and institutions but could no longer afford the tab.

From that time onward, almost all the gains from growth have gone to the top. But as the upper middle class and the rich began shifting to private institutions, they withdrew political support for public ones. | swtor credits In consequence, their marginal tax rates dropped -- setting off a vicious cycle of diminishing revenues and deteriorating quality, spurring more flight from public institutions. Tax revenues from corporations also dropped as big companies went global -- keeping their profits overseas and their tax bills to a minimum.

But that's not the whole story. America no longer values public goods as we did before.

The great expansion of public institutions in America began in the early years of 20th century when progressive reformers championed the idea that we all benefit from public goods. Excellent schools, roads, parks, playgrounds, and transit systems would knit the new industrial society together, create better citizens, and generate widespread prosperity. Education, for example, was less a personal investment than a public good -- improving the entire community and ultimately the nation.
