actually, if you would have read my other posts on the thread before replying, you would see i have friends and others, who are the primary source of information i have. My sister is just an example. If someone can DOUBLE major, why can't you single major in the required time? It's not like a photography major isn't popular either... The example simply shows you have plenty of slack in the system, which has nothing to do with the accomplishments of anyone, but with how many classes you can take each semester, and how few classes many people choose to take each semester. usually, every school provides enough courses for their students. you sign up with a particular major (or undeclared) and they only let you switch your degrees if there are free spaces so you can complete the courses in the time they suggest. That's the same for every school i've ever heard about. All schools also provide advisors who can help you choose the right classes, and how to choose them so you do fulfill your requirements efficiently, while personalizing the choices to the largest degree possible. It's just about a tad of effort, don't excuse the lazy. The american political system particularly bases itself around that maxim. again, you might not be able to take all the classes you want to be a part of your degrees, but you can complete your degrees in the required time. if you choose to spend longer, so you get all the classes you want, that's up to you, but it's a conscious choice you make for yourself. it has nothing to do with what the school offers.

the primary issue is the onyx ring and gem, not the fury. 300 mobilising armies ranks, only to realize it's close to impossible to buy yourself an onyx ring? Basically the mobilizing armies rewards are weakened massively by having unbuyable onyx gems. rares market? how about the actual game content being made obsolete? that's serious, rares are not a significant part of the game in any way.

Hey, I might have a solution for you! When you go running, time your breathing on your left foot. Never inhale or exhale while your right foot is hitting the ground. The reason for this is that on the right side of your body, you have some more delicate and free-to-move organs (the usual culprit is your liver). So you are landing on your right foot, your liver bobs down slightly, and then you breathe which is causing a contraction of your abdominal muscles and squeezing your liver into an uncomfortable position, pushing it into possibly your ribs or other organs. Your left side tends to be a lot more stable, and the organs are smaller so they stay in place easier. Also, though, be mindful of your water intake. If you drink too much water too short of a time before a run, this will also happen. Hydrate no later than 30 mins before you start running. any evidence of "organ moving" or is this just another fancy urban myth? I have an other fancy urban myth: hold something in your hand as you run, tightly. that's also supposed to help, and is a lot easier than controlled breathing at any rate... Hydration may be a reasonable cause, also being full in other ways. How do you warm up? A common cause of these "stiches" is lack of warming up before you increase intensity.

There is plenty of evidence. If you just can be bothered to look for it. Do you know why pasteurization is done? Watch: and . Combined time: 15 minutes. I learned alot from those videos. You are aware you're taking dietary advice from an "expert" chiropractor? A chiropractor giving the "general history of milk" At 3:10 in the first video he says "Even a thousand years before Jesus, in the old testament, the Hindus with the Vetas were saying that milk was the most important food for people" Sorry, with so many flaws in a single sentece, i give this guy's testemony no credibility AT ALL. you shouldn't either, has he clearly has not checked what he is talking about in the least. The second video, on the "history of milk" he claims that at a given point in time "half of the deaths in New York were a result of the contamination of milk" that is an absurd claim, simply absurd I urge you to read scientific works : http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/507035?cookieSet=1 there is no nutritional difference in raw milk and regular milk. Touché. Nononono haha i'm not conspiracy theorist. There is no such thing as conspiracy. It's quite simple. All i'm saying that it was a human being who draw the food pyramid. It was a human being who decided it is good thing to pasteurize milk. And that guy propably wasn't a nutrisionist either. The reasons behind prosessing milk are purely productinal. Pasteurized milk has longer shelflife. It is easier to do it that way. It saves money. A human drew teh food pyramid? Thousands of real experts, with degrees in related areas, who base their claims on scientific research drew and continously revise the food pyramid. Do you doubt the fact of evoluton as well? The scientific principles are identical. And there are no significant measurable differences in the nutrition of raw milk and other organic milk. Do you also believe in homeopathy, a similar case where no measurable differences in content are responsible for beneficial health effects? Treatment of cows, not pasteurization or homogenisation are the differences, nothing more nothing less. I will not be so bold to say that goverment is evil and it shouldn't be trusted on any subject. But lets pretend for a moment that it is a fact that raw milk is healthier. Now, what do you think is the reason it is illegal to sell it in almost all states in america? If everyobody would wake up and start buying raw milk the big dairy factories would go out of bussiness. Don't you think that has anything to do with the fact it is outlawed to sell it? And don't give me the weak argument that it can cause diseases. It's perfectly legal to sell raw vegetables and raw meat and those can cause dieseases too if eaten raw. Sorry matey, this isn't a disney movie... it is for sure that there are corrupt people working in any goverment, any part of the world. As long as money is involved. Always has been, always will. Let us consider the risks of tuberculosis, typhoid and salmonella that can only be spread by unpasturized milk. Your assumption is the basis of your whole argument, and it is false, fatally so. I usually cook my meat and vegetables, I don't usually boil (which is effectively more "harmful" than pasteurizing) milk before drinking, do you?` I urge you to consider the details on disease caused by raw milk, that pasteurization would remove. http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/2007/ucm108856.htm "From 1998 to May 2005 CDC identified 45 outbreaks of foodborne illness that implicated unpasteurized milk, or cheese made from unpasteurized milk. These outbreaks accounted for 1,007 illnesses, 104 hospitalizations, and two deaths." Money, power, greed, ignorance. Those kind of things. Also general nutrition advice usually changes very slowly, even if there is loads of evidence that condratics it. Sorry, the evidence clearly contradicts your thesis, not mine. Advice changes rapidly, when propper evidence emerges and has been examined. That always takes time, not a single survey showing something new. You need a vast amount and thorough examination of ALL reliable evidence, and assess its reliability. For who would it be dangerous if people for once would think for themselves? hmm? Very directly, this paranoia is the sign of conspiracy " they don't want us to think" bullpoo. bullpoo! I urge people to think for themselves, but that actually involves not just sitting there to "think". It involves examining actual evidence, not misplacing your trust in sources that have no credibility at all. You can think all you like, but that doesn't change reality. It demands an understanding of academia, and the particulars of the field and the research conducted in the field. Who is really capable of that thinking? The experts, the actual experts who have professions, and generally accredited degrees within their fiels ensuring they are the people who we should trust the most. These people with actual education and knowledge in the fields do the thinking you and I are INCAPABE of. You do not have the qualifications to make the neccessary rational analysis of the facts. We all rely on others for our technology (science is obviously technology), because they are the ones able to produce reliable, safe alternatives for us all. At the end of the day, all those who have reasoned, and examined the evidence properly come to reasonable conclusions. It would be dangerous for those with emotive reasons for choosing to drink raw milk, if people thought for themselves. Intelligent free thinkers would then not heed their misguided advice. Thinking for yourself very often means placing your trust in those who are actually competent in making a desicion for you.

Sometimes it doesn't matter how fast you are, you can't always be the first to sign up.. I can't speak for all universities, but at mine, if you are a freshman/sophomore, there is a good chance that the classes you want/need will be filled up because juniors/seniors get to sign up before you (and sophomores before freshman). Then within each of those years, the students' sign up appointments are staggered. One freshman may not be able to sign up until 1pm on March 15th, another freshman not until 4pm on March 15th, and a third freshman not until 9am on March 16th. of course noone can sign up before they can sign up. But if you sign up at the first opportunity you have, and structure what classes you need for your degrees, you will finish in standardized time. At least with my friends, and my sister's friends all over the UC system in particular, never heard of someone who tries who can't do standardized time. You have choices within a degree, so we all get confronted with reality when we realize we can't have everything we want the first semester, or choose only the most popular classes. However, you can always make your degree, and get many of the subjects you want to be a part of that degree. There would be general outrage if that wasn't the case.

My sister is at UCSD. She's double majoring in 3 years without taking any summer credits, no problem. You have slobs that don't sign up for classes early, and those who spend time figuring out what to major in, they're the only ones who need longer than standard, really. I know I've gotten accepted to many Uni's for the fall as a sophamore, just cause i have enough honor classes in high school. Basically, if you know when you can enroll, do it fast. it's as simple as buying tickets to concerts: everyone knows when the tickets are put out for sale on the web, just be the first to sign up. Where there's a will, there's a way. Isn't that kinda the point of the whole american system, no effort no gain?

conspiracy much? Sorry, this type of blatant bias has to be pointed out: people might take such a statement at face value, which is very dangerous. show me convincing, multi-source evidence on raw and proccessed milk having any dietary differences at all. You have an opinion you present as fact, again potentially dangerous: we're talking real life dieting here, not some online game. obviously, you have to be a conspiracy theorist to assume your government is out to get you and your health by providing faulty advice. why in the world would they do that, which is blatantly against the law, without any sort of motive? Many of the other advice posts on this thread also show individual "treatment" that have undocumented effects. follow this advice at your own risk.

it really depends on what ideals their base is though, or what political ideology. I find it revolting that images of dead people have hide tags. Censoring reality, when bloodied others are shown without problem. blood and gore, sure. Blood, gore and death? No, in america (boston.com) people don't die, they just squirt blood, and then disappear. pathetic, who decides these laws / principles? I think I speak for all, when i say we can only hope the ordeal ends in the best possible outcome as quickly as possible.

hapiness says something about upbrining, not actual quality of life. For that we have the UN Human Development Reports: http://hdr.undp.org/en/statistics/ Rich nations always score well, Norway consistently scores best, in terms of actual quality of living. Norwegians are not the happiest people on eath, ranking only 9th. http://www.forbes.com/2009/05/05/world-happiest-places-lifestyle-travel-world-happiest_slide_3.html?thisspeed=25000. What does happiness suggest? a state of mind. we norwegians obviously take a lot of things for granted (like free university education). that doesn't mean others moving to norway wouldn't become happier living here though, a major flaw in the money / happiness research and its analysis.

As long as you don't mind the topic being bogged down by other topics with "gf," "inb4lock," and "fail" posts. why not? :D If you can stand the RSOF, please do represent more "fan-forum"-style quality of posts

looking at this overview, citing all it's sources, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War, it's closer to 20 to 1 civillians to combatants dead. That shows a clear lack of restraint before fireing. compared to WWII, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties, the ratio of civillian deaths is much much lower, 22-25 million soldiers to 43-46 million civillians. compared to the first gulf war, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_War#Casualties, the ratio of civillan deaths is similar: ca. 100 000 civillians to ca. 11-12000 combatants. It seems technology saves the soldiers, not the civillians, huh? America, saving its own, just as britain saves its own, and norway saves its own. we westeners have it good, don't we? This movie has (at least in Europe) been condemed by all millitary personell (who have given commentary presented in the media) and the media, and been clearly labelled as a clear war crime. I don't know how radical you guys are, but claiming this is okay, is pretty far out there... Did you miss that huge key word on the end of those numbers for WWII? MILLIONS. HUGE difference. And exactly THE MEDIA. The media finds the people that hate it, they find the stuff that will stir arguments up, and they will twist the truth. People need to wake up. Sign up, go there yourself....please. See what happens there first hand. Walk the streets of Iraq or Afghanistan for a tour and i'm sure you'll change your tune. I love how most kids on this board that pretend to know politics and world issues because they watch one sided news reports, read bogus blogs, and play MW2 want to weigh in on this and call it wrong. PLEASE live it for yourself. You never hear about, or choose to pay attention to the good going on over there. Thats whats sick and disturbing, WAKE UP. Sign up, and go see for yourselves. No balls. Keep living in your fantasy world. Keep believing that no one can do no harm in the world and every "civilian" is innocent. While we continue to have harm done to us. You can let that guy go one day and the next day he'll kill one of our guys. Then what. [hide] [/hide] Your other option is to go join the west burrough baptist church. I think you missed the key point of my argument the RATIO. not absolute numbers, but RATIOS. Today, more civillians are killed than combatants. The combatants are killing too many civillians. I also think you didn't read the other parts of my post either: i have friends who have been, and are currently in Iraq. They're norwegian soldiers, they'd get jailed and a dishonorable discharge for this type of event. I think you need to look outside of your nations obviously flawed army, and examine the rest of the world before you comment. Just as you need to examine foreign media before you label it all similar to your sensationalist entertainment media. Heck, even my tv network labels CNN as an "entertainment" channel, not a news channel. keep demanding "balls" when brains are what are required to see that you SHOULDN'T be going in there to fight when those are the rules of engagement and common practice. What's the good thing going on over there? 100 000 civillians dead? Afghanistan sure worked out well: much stronger opium production and opium market, guess how the american "war on terror" relates to the "war on drugs?" The removal of a dictator, only to have civil war? The removal of a dictator to have over-reaching suicide bombings daily? the removal of a dictator to have warlords control the country? the removal of a dictator to institute democracy that can never work, just look at history: how often has forced democracy been stable? I certainly cannot find any examples? If you wanted to help others, you'd never go into iraq, you could save more lives and people by taking down north korea, i've never seen a rationale leading to any other conclusion. assert yourself as the role of a victim, while as an american your aggressive foreign policy of the last 50 years has asserted your position as a global target, because you've trodden down so many peoples all over the world, faught so many wars on foreign soil, moved so far from isolationism. Being the "world police" often makes you a target, when the policing isn't just and fair. war, just and fair you say? how about getting it approved by the UN? I believe in the human rights. I believe a "civillian" is innocent, and has the right to be seen as innocent untill proven guilty. apprehended only with meritable reason. Aren't those the rules you also give your own citizens? why deny other peoples the rights you find "self-evident?" You also divide us into two groops: WBC or agreeing with you, leaving no middle ground. A common fallacy to ensure your position. sorry, bigotry, hypocricy and victimization are the only ways you can justify your position. Is that the american way?

fly the chopper 10m closer, use the zoom image: you can then discern if it's a camera, or a rocketlauncher. that takes one second. ONE SECOND. I'm sure it'd take any soldier a second to put the launcher on their shoulder and taim at the chopper in the first pace. When you have one shot, you don't waste it. The benefit of general conscription in norway, is the fact that all guys 18+ in norway HAVE had contact with the millitary. Those of us who get away with only the first meeting still all have friends who have served for a year. You then get the benefit of a population that understands how global conflicts actually work, everyone knows many with direct experience. you also have a selection, so you get people in teh army with the qualifications needed to fight: because you choose those most suited to the army. Does your country, or the country you invade deserve second rate soldiers? It's not rocket science, just a tiny tiny bit of training. you don't throw a granade when you can't reach the target: you don't shoot when you don't know what you're shooting at. They could always be friendlies, or civillians. Especially when you're trying to gain the trust of the population, you don't shoot anyone unless you really really really really really really really really really really really really have to. That's one of the first basic lessons every guy in training here: you need information to act.

they've said it's as firm as RWT though. You eat Ben and Jerry's for their ice cream, just as you judge runescape on their game content, and future game content. That's the game Andrew has been out to make for a decade, you disagree: well, you know what they're gonna give you. They've told you, you don't have a say, i don't have a say. complaining about something you know you can't change is as stupid as trying to date someone who's happily married, you know what you're in for. I get annoyed by someone constantly complaining about that, so i'd take a step back and look at myself to see if i was doing something similar. That's why clans are something worth talking about: because Jagex are actually trying to make this type of content: it's not trying to change existing content (bosses, a minigame or whatever) this is something Jagex is actually working on, and will continue working with. Why not post something constructive, like how clans could become more relevant to your type of player, rather than condemning the whole situation? It's like not voting for the best party, because all parties are bad. lesser of two evils: it's the only thing that makes sense. So how should clans be dealt with, as they will remain a major part of the game? it's an issue because your irrational behavior isn't constructive, and obviously your opinion is different to "the tip.it community", so getting that new perspective is more important to all of us, than reasserting ourselves with our "opinion-buddies". That's what a community is all about: constructively contributing just like everyone else. you obviously have a new perspective beneficial to us all, so share it, rather than complaining about something set in stone.

Paranoia is if someone is "out to get you" how does that have anything to do with anything on this topic? because jagex have said that 50% of the game is supposed to be composed of multiplayer activities. because jagex have said they're striving towards that goal. Because jagex have said that they are focusing more on clan activities (after the last clan tournament). because nothing has happened since then, and therefore clan changes and increased support should be around the corner. becasue it's like their stance on RTW: something they have asserted as fact. because you seem to disregard all those things when you campaign against clan updates. It's completely irrational, it's as if i were to campaign against color changes for the dark bow, when it was voted as guaranteed content: it makes no sense.

so you are say, if i wanted RWT back in runescape, i should complain every update they don't reinstitute opportunites for rwt? I think I would then need to confront myself with reality. do you?

We have an expert human ecologist here. Seriously, what type of reasoning led you to this idea. That idea is just... ridiculous. Population control, I agree, is desperately needed there. But, using the arguments that you are, USA also needs to apply the same measure. The US is number 1 in consumption of electricity, coal, petroleum and natural gas. The US over sustains it's population. if we rationalize the arguement, each american not born, helps the world more than a person of any other nationality, yes. One american unborn, is equivalent to about 20 indians going by tehir consumption. I think, even with just its 300m population, one child policy in america would have a greater effect than in india and china combined (!) The us doesn't sustain its population, it has a massive trade deficit, imports 80% of its oil etc. etc. It under-sustains its population to the largest degree in the world. The west isn't too far behind. isn't that scary?

looking at this overview, citing all it's sources, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War, it's closer to 20 to 1 civillians to combatants dead. That shows a clear lack of restraint before fireing. compared to WWII, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties, the ratio of civillian deaths is much much lower, 22-25 million soldiers to 43-46 million civillians. compared to the first gulf war, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_War#Casualties, the ratio of civillan deaths is similar: ca. 100 000 civillians to ca. 11-12000 combatants. It seems technology saves the soldiers, not the civillians, huh? America, saving its own, just as britain saves its own, and norway saves its own. we westeners have it good, don't we?

I don't know how radical you guys are, but claiming this is okay, is pretty far out there...

I have another idea: i'll just ignore all the other arguments, that actually may make sense: hmm, i guess what jagex says doesn't matter, when me_hate_libs has an opinion?

i think the primary "scary factor" in the last movie posted, is that the piano is slightly out of tune, therefore giving a "ringing" aucustic, rather than clean piano sound. I'm sure i could just use the hungarian minor scale, or Aeolian #4 scale, instead of using a theoretical anomaly in teh form of a hexatone scale. basically, you could also simply modulate a disharmony with broken chords and suspended chords, why overcomplicate? :grin:

Actually, the BGS and ZGS both fail. their stats are identical, specs are very infrequent in the grand sceme of hits. would you pay 75m to have your whip do a claw spec, or sgs spec? i doubt it.

I don't think you can rationally justify any gs but the bgs for any activity. Luckily it's a game, so we can simply play to have fun. 75m extra for an ags to see higher hits? sure! as long as that's what you find fun

or is it just war? Can war ever not be a crime, or ever be humane?

well one thing that could be discussed, is why there's a topic on this mining accident, but not about the 100+ people who were saved after a week in a chinese mine, in complete darkness? Then there's the moral issue of 20 lives in an accident vs. the millions of others who die (in america and other places) from hunger, poverty, car accidents, alchohol, smoking, obesity, ignorance, stupidity and so on. 20 of our own, what if the same resources were spent in africa, how many hundred people could live there? us/ them? but, really, why is there a post on the topic, it's local news... :P

why do you have to do it exactly in less than an hour? isn't it just about doing it the fastest possible?

no. it's probably illegal to show on US tv, unless it's late, you'd have to censor and bleep, because reality is too strong for people to see uncensored according to american law :S
