Thank you!

What is the best way to get my thieving level from 58 to 66 for quest requirements? I'm only interested in the fastest experience per hour.

Thank you.

What's the best way to bring my hunter level from 55 to 61? I want to know the fastest experience.

I think it's a hold-out from RuneScape Classic pking, when high strength was king because you had to fight three rounds before you could run away from a fight, so being able to kill in three hits was optimal. From that, everyone got in their head that high strength was the way to go and that strength was more important than attack or defense. It's the same idea that makes people still use low defense pures even though they are not effective like they were before RS2.

I have the same stats, so I'll suggest the method that I use: I recharge my prayer at my house and then take the Kharyll portal. Then I use the Myreque shortcut through the swamp to get to barrows. I go in the order Dharok, Karil, Verac, Torag, Guthan, Ahrim. The bow and Karil armor is for Ahrim, I use Verac's armor on all the other brothers. I drink one sip on the super attack and super strength potions right before I enter Dharok's mound each time. The prayer potions are only in case Dharok is my tunnel brother, otherwise I only use prayer until it runs out. I use protection from melee on Dharok, protection from range on Karil, and if I still have some left, piety on Verac. Using this method is very cheap, so even if I don't get a barrows item I usually make money from the runes. Each run take about 13-15 minutes so I can do roughly four per hour. If you can't afford all the items, I would downgrade Karil's armor to black dragonhide and then the fury to a glory.

It seems that the Runescape economy has undergone a lot of inflation since I last played 1.5 years ago. For example, my fury went from 4.5m to 6.5m and Torag's set went from 1.5m to 4.5m. If I stop playing until the summer after winter break (in two weeks) should I invest my money in armor? I'm worried because Guthan's spear went from 5-6m to 1m in the same period.

Riddle: What is the meaning of life?

Wow, I thought this thread was about Sarah Palin? Having listened to Palin's speeches and seen her interviews, I can assure you that she is not competent to hold any office. (She denies science. In addition, her sentences do not make sense. They do not mean[/b anything. Words come out of her mouth, but she might as well be saying, "Shoe, baseball, mama, go, kite, store, doggy, want, pizza, funny, person," because they do not string together to form ideas that have meaning. There is a way to understand what she is trying to say, but only in the same way as that if someone said to you, "Food, need, happy, sandwich, want, turkey, stomach, tuna, desire, eating," you would understand that person is hungry.) I am glad that she stepped down as governor of Alaska; I would not wish her be governor of the state of my worst enemy. Some think that Palin quit because she seeks to be the 2012 Republican presidential nominee. If she did, then I believe that she is even more stupid than I before thought. Why would quitting be a good idea? If she were president of the United States, would she quit with 1.5 years left to serve? By quitting some say that she will be able to campaign, raise funds, and drum up support for herself. She might be able to capture more Republicans' votes, but by quitting I don't think that she will be able to capture any more electoral votes than John McCain (except perhaps Indiana where it was very close, and maybe the Omaha district in Nebraska, which Obama also very narrowly won), and John McCain lost in an absolute landslide. If she does run for president in 2012, then I have confidence that she will lose. As I said before, she is not competent to hold any office; the majority of the country realized that in 2008 and they will vote the same way in 2012. If she runs, it can only mean more years of Democrats in office. No, I think that the real reason that Sarah Palin quit is to make money. Now that she is not tied down as governor, she will be able to make a lot of speaking deals (which I find ironic as she is a horrible speaker, but I guess that kind of thing hits close to home when she is preaching to the right-wing choir). She also might have quit because she is tired of playing politician and wants to go back to her family. Neither of these reasons are legitimate, though. By quitting, Sarah Palin is saying, "Alaska, I have used you. I did not run for governor to serve my state or my country. I ran for myself. I have gotten everything that I could get out of being the governor of Alaska and now I am done. I do not want to give anything back to the state of Alaska by governing it for one-and-a-half more years." She is disrespecting the office of the governor of Alaska and also her voters. By this action of quitting, she is only shooting herself in the foot. All in all, I see Sarah Palin quitting as a bad political move for her, but a good thing for our country (as anything that removes Palin from an important position or that hurts Palin's chances of holding an important position ever again is good for our country.) Now, Palin, go forth. Make money on speeches. Be with your family. After all, everyone is naturally entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happyness. Just don't try to hold the power to make important decisions for your state or country, ever again.

Up until 8th grade I was deathly afraid of roller coasters. Then I went on an end-of-the-year field trip to an amusement park with my school, where my friends forced me to ride a roller coaster. It was really fun and now I love roller coasters. So, I suggest getting someone to force you to ride one and you might like it! :

I think that the majority of people in this thread need to take some deep breaths. Personally, I consider Half-life, Half-life 2, and their mods/games that use their engine to be the best video games. Half-life, Counter-strike, Day of Defeat: source, Team fortress 2, Portal, and Half-life 2 + episodes 2-3 are all awesome. Plus free mods can't be beat. Sourceforts; Pirate, Vikings, and Knights II, and Natural Selection are some of my favorites.

Kindergarten: Is split into morning and afternoon classes, I don't remember the exact schedule but probably something close to 8:00-11:30 and 12:00-3:30. Grades 1-3: 8:30-1:45 (every day) Grades 4-5: 8:30-3:05 (every day except Wednesdays) 8:30-1:35 (Wednesdays) Grade 6: 8:55-3:05 (every day) Grades 7-8: 8:00-3:05 (every day) Grades 9-12: 7:40-3:09 (Mondays) 7:40-3:10 (Tuesdays and Thursdays) 7:40-2:15 (Wednesdays and Fridays) 7:40-11:50 (Special schedule only the day before Thanksgiving, winter break, spring break, and summer break)

It's called extra credit. Suppose you have three tests per semester worth 100 points each and 30 homework assignments worth 5 points each. The total number of points possible is 450. Let us pretend that you have gotten 100% on every test and turned in all your homework assignments fully completed. Here's what your grade report might look like: Test A: 100/100 Test B: 100/100 Test C: 100/100 Homework 1: 5/5 Homework 2: 5/5 Homework 3: 5/5 etc. Homework 15: 5/5 _______________ Total: 450/450 100%, A+ But if your teacher let you do an extra credit assignment or project worth 20 points then your grade report could possibly look like this: Test A: 100/100 Test B: 100/100 Test C: 100/100 Homework 1: 5/5 Homework 2: 5/5 Homework 3: 5/5 etc. Homework 15: 5/5 Extra Credit: 20/0 _______________ Total: 470/450 104%, A+ At my high school, extra credit is very common. Usually you cannot improve your grade by much more than 2% with extra credit, though, so only enough to change that 59% F into a 61% D- (which is a passing grade at my school). Another possibility is that the grades have been falsely "curved". Usually when one says that test scores have been "curved", one means that the mean of the test scores has been found and any test scores between the mean and one positive standard deviation become B's, scores between one standard deviation and two standard deviations get A's, scores higher and two standard deviations get A+'s, scores between the mean and negative one standard deviation get C's, scores between negative one and negative two standard deviations get D's, and scores lower than negative two standard deviations away from the mean get F's. Assuming that the test scores are normally distributed, about 2% of tests will be A+'s, 14% of tests will be A's, 34% of test will be B's, 34% of tests will be C's, 14% of tests will be D's, and 2% of tests will be F's. This is a graph of a normal curve. The mark in the middle that looks like a "u" is the mean and the units on the other marks that look like "o" are standard deviations. The mean of a set of data is the sum of all the pieces of data divided by the number of pieces of data. The standard deviation of a set of data is the square root of the mean of the squares of the differences of the data and the mean. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation#Basic_example for a more clear explanation. Here's how applying this idea to test scores might work: Mr. Roberts is a chemistry teacher. He is known for giving very, very hard tests. He has 100 students in his class. He gives one test to his class and the average grade is 50%. The standard deviation of the grades is 10. He chooses to "curve" the test. This means that anyone scoring 70% on the test gets an A+, anyone scoring 60% gets an A, anyone scoring 50% gets a B, anyone scoring 40% gets a C, anyone scoring 30% gets a D, and anyone scoring less get an F. Assuming the test scores are normally distributed, roughly 2 students will get an A+, 14 students will get an A, 34 students will get a B, 34 students will get a C, 14 students will get a D, and two students will get an F. "Curving" the test grades helped the students. Normally, if a 10-point grading system is used, any students scoring less than 60% on a test will get an F. In this example, only 16 students would have passed the test and 84 students would have failed. That would be seen as unacceptable to most people, as it demonstrates that it is most likely the teacher's fault that so many students failed the test. Here's another example of how applying this idea might work: On an especially easy test, the mean of the test scores is 94% and the standard deviation is 3. Scores of 97% and above are A's, 94% is a B, 91% is a C, and 88% is a D. Any score lower than 88% is an F. This displays the downside of applying a curve to test scores instead of using the 10-point grading system. As many students that get A's must get D's. As many students that get B's must get C's. Now here's a situation that may occur from falsely "curved" grades: The mean on a test is 60%. The standard deviation of scores is 20. If a 10-point grading system was used, roughly half of the students would have failed. That would be seen as a major failure on the teacher's part. Instead, the teacher inflates each student's grade by 20% and then uses the 10-point grading system to maintain the idea of a C+/B- average. You had 60/100 written on the top of your test? Your teacher crosses it off and writes 80/100. You had 85/100 written on the top of your test? Your teacher crosses it out and writes 105/100. One student's D-/on the verge of an F turns into a C+/B-. And another student's B turns into an A+. Now 12% of scores fall into the 100-120% range, 34% fall into the 80-100% range, 34% fall into the 60-80% range, and 14% fall into the 40-60% range. Thus, 12% of scores are A+'s that earn extra credit, 34% of scores are A's and B's, 34% of scores are C's and D's, and 12% of scores are F's. The proper way to fix these grades was not to add 20% to each student's grade, but to examine the grades from the point of view of a normal distribution curve. If you do, then only 2% of students fail and most of the grades end up as B's and C's instead of 12% of students failing and 12% of students getting greater than 100%, neither of which I think should happen. If one earned greater than 100% on a test, their grade report might look like this: Test A: 120/100 Test B: 100/100 Test C: 100/100 Homework 1: 5/5 Homework 2: 5/5 Homework 3: 5/5 etc. Homework 15: 5/5 _______________ Total: 470/450 104%, A+

Here is my backpack: It's a JanSport "Big Student" model. Supposedly it holds: 3-5 textbooks Laptop computer 1-3 large binders Paperback books Spiral notebooks Calculator Pens and pencils Bag lunch Cellphone MP3 Player Gym clothes Sweatshirt I can see that happening, but you'd have to get creative with fitting everything inside. Usually I only need to carry 0-1 textbooks, 2-4 binders, 0-2 paperback, a calculator, pencil bag, lunch, gym clothes, and a jacket, and it can get pretty tight at times. But it is made of very durable material and doesn't hurt my back even with all those things in it. So far I have had it for two years, but it has shown no sign of wear or tear so I hope that it will last for a long time. I would definitely buy one again. Oh yeah, it was only about $15-25, too. (I don't remember the exact price.)

I love Magic . Right now I'm mostly playing Elder Dragon Highlander with my friends. You choose a legendary creature to be your "general" and then you make a deck of 99 cards of which no two can be the same except for basic lands. Your general starts removed from the game and you can play it as if it were in your hand. When it is destroyed you remove it from the game again and you can play it again, although it costs (2) mana more each time. Currently I have two EDH decks, one built around Scion of the Ur-Dragon and one built around Kaervek the Merciless. It's great fun : .

I am an atheist. I do not believe in ghosts. I remember reading that a survey found that ~50% of Americans believe in ghosts.

Yes, you should make sure that you are getting enough water throughout the day. I drink water whenever possible from the fountains at school and have a 1L water bottle at home that I carry around with water and ice in it to drink while I'm doing my homework, playing on the computer, etc.

Exact same for me.

I honestly believe that he lied, and this is my reasoning: Even after he found out that he was misinformed, he showed no remorse for invading a country on false evidence. To me, that means he had alterior motives to invading Iraq (of which I do not know 100%, but I would guess some unfinished business by Dad in the 90s and oil). He would have used any reason he had to go into Iraq as soon as it popped up, and that is as good as a lie to me. NOO!!! Dear God, we did not go to Iraq for Oil!!! We get most of our oil from Canada, Venezuela and I think Mexico. Not that much from Iraw, we may get a little. And besides, I think that if they didn't have WMDs when we went in, they had them earlier. No, no WMD's were found. Bush duped Congress into going to war by lying about WMD's being in Iraq. Bush went into Iraq to put fear into the American people of "terrorists" so that he could be that president that protected them. Look, if we weren't in Iraq there would be a lot fewer deaths there. We are also wasting a lot of money every month towards the war. We need to pull out of Iraq now. Thanks to Bush we are no longer the greatest nation on Earth, other countries have lost their respect for us. I think that Bush will be remembered for the lowest approval rating of any American president ever. (I don't think that it will be possible for another president to get lower, frankly.)

You forgot the "post this on 10 videos and your crush's name will appear on the screen and if you don't your mom will get cancer." :lol: Well, I have one friend who makes up urban legends everyday. So pretty much he makes up stories that are loosely based on something. It's pretty funny, but kinda sad because I think that he thinks we believe him.
