    Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy CTE

    The parents of these kids are why I'm a former coach now. Every year I had kids that just didn't want to be out there. Some were there because the parent wanted to get them off the couch and/or involved in team sports. My observations that football might not be the best sport to start them in...

    Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy CTE

    As a coach and a parent the school system here has a concussion information sheet that they require the student and the parent to sign and initial each point - now, of course that doesn't mean they actually read it. I do know as a youth and high school coach there is significant training on...

    Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy CTE

    There is work being done at the youth and high school level. The old "head and body on the play side" method of tackling has been dropped for the Pete Carroll "wrap and roll" technique. There are a few old school assholes that bitch about giving up an extra yard by not hitting the guy full...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    It occurred to me that DBG is missing an opportunity being so hands off, and it all revolves around krono. It's one thing to permaban an account that is being funded via CC where the customer can do a charge back. But when an account is being funded by krono, what recourse do you have? Really...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Good points - I should have been more clear - I was thinking specifically about high 40s in a more traditional group with zones available now. I main an enchanter and was shocked how fast my bar moved killing ghosts in a group. Of course that's compared to Hamlord/frenzy camp and even Slab.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    I've had terrible luck in LGuk with drops, haven't seen a SMR in probably 9 levels at hamlord. I have had great luck at the ghost camp and the docks in the Hole - is there a better XP camp than the ghosts (wanderers/revenants) right now?

    Gets really entertaining when you're playing Battlefield 1 with him; he decides to join the other team, comes looking for you while talking junk and you proceed to kill him five times in a row without dying to him once.

    With Best Buy GCU, I'll pick up copies for my son and I usually for close to $40/copy, sometimes better if I'm (or he is) willing to wait a bit.

    Biggest issue I've had is with guys bringing 6+ and parking right on top of me (ench) when I'm standing as far away from the MA as possible to avoid getting mezzed by my own AE. I move just enough to get away from the AE radius and the healer drops a superior heal on the puller because his...

    @Boostinks - my son's football team had a 7 on 7 scrimmage recently against the team of your recent RB commit. Of course it's all passing, but he did comment that when he went to redirect the guy off his route it "just wasn't happening."

    Necro is great for groups, in raids and can get stuff done solo if you don't have a lot of time. Can't go wrong with it if you like the class. I get groups quickly with my enchanter, and surprisingly have a hard time finding replacements but perhaps most are getting groups quickly also - but...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    My concern is always having at least two hours to commit from when group gets going (pulling). I've had trouble finding a rep as an enchanter and I don't want to bail on a LGuk group and leave them without CC. Was up to 2:30 am this morning but thankfully had a bard lfg to take my spot.

    Spent about 4 hours there yesterday on enchanter to 33 - had a warrior alt who had issues but managed to not wipe until a train of about 15. Still think we might have survived it if he hadn't kept switching targets causing casters to DoT multiple mobs. What I don't get is the time it takes to...

    More or less, I think it was mostly the "why the hell would I want to go through the hassle again at my age?" that bugged her. I didn't bring up the fact that I'd have a lot more time for gaming without a significant other - maybe she knew what I was thinking... she'll likely outlive me anyway.

    Any forum guild invite available for 27 enchanter? I've had decent luck with pickups and have been lucky get invited by people I've grouped with before, but thinking it's going to get worse soon and would rather LFG in green text. Semi filthy casual.

    No fucking way in hell - I'm way too old for that shit, and not even 50 yet. I put up with the wife and her bullshit, she puts up with me.

    Same here - it was good coffee but varied from bag to bag, and I like the Don Pablo and find it much more consistent. We've tried the Jamaican from there as well and didn't much care for it.

    We alternate between the Don Pablo whole bean and the Kona Blend whole bean from Costco - use the Krups grinder and have a Cuisinart drip machine. I like the Don Pablo but wife leans towards the Kona blend (emphasis on blend, pure Kona is silly expensive).

    I believe he means he and his wife have an adopted son whose biological sister was adopted by someone else. That's a tough situation - damn, I'd be trying to figure out how not to make those mistakes everyone says you make when you commit - well, you know.

    The Secret World

    I rolled warlock too, in Kingsmouth I purchased the assault rifle AE early and after that it was basically spam the blood AE on groups until they die, if my meter tapped out on that I'd switch to the AR aoe and occasionally use the pew pew single target to heal myself.
