This was the result of a batch CS build where I ran out of money despite having positive cash flow because the check to afford the building occurred at the start of the batch which did not factor in my lower tax revenues. The alternative is do the pre-approval but then to check each turn to make sure enough cash still exists.

In the title I said this was successful, and while I technically did get a building I didn't fully pay for, I did run out of cash.

Make sure he stays out of Waukesha!

Yeah, it's, messed up. I have a black friend who is basically a white guy with black skin (just in terms of his upbringing, hobbies, etc it is very stereotypical white America) and accordingly as a hunter with concealed and open carry licenses he pretty much never takes his guns anywhere so he doesn't get shot.

The music is fantastic.

The vocals are good but I feel they are the weak part. Some of vocal harmonies seemed a bit off to me (not necessarily wrong, but just not what I would have looked for maybe) but I'm not really able to put my finger on exactly what it is. This is of course ironic as I am an abysmal singer. I also feel that for the mixing, the vocals maybe seem too prominent at times; there are a few times where I feel like it is the musical equivalent of watching an obviously green screened video.

All in all I enjoyed it though and while it's not my typical style of music (alt rock/metal) I think it is really good and know people who I would recommend it to. It is a good summer song and would be nice to listen to while enjoying a beer and relaxing.

The fundamental problem is what hawkeye said. This is not a modern game. High school kids don't play browser games. We are here because this is where our friends are. The way to save this game would be to make a phone app for it. Doesn't have to be super fancy, glitzy, etc but it has to have modern interface.

how many direct flights come from those countries? i would suspect most flights go to europe or somewhere else connecting to the US


You sir are quite correct... if by most you ALL. There are no direct flights from those countries.

While this is the correct reason sometimes, usually it isn't. They are intentionally losing trophies so that they can farm the newbies at the lower trophy level with their higher level troops. To intentionally lose, just drop 1 troops, and surrender the battle immediately. Higher level players with access to the Barbarian King or the Queen can drop that instead (out of range of any towers) and surrender immediately without the loss of that one troop.

Lots of players employ a technique called "lazy farming", where they look for bases where the collectors are scattered on the perimeter of the base and are half-full/full, and just throw down 50-100 archers to collect the resources in them. Repeat this every 5 minutes (since it doesn't take long to build 50-100 archers) and you collect resources very quickly. The loss of trophies is irrelevant, it is faster to farm for resources this way than building an expensive army to take on a higher level city.

The 1000-1250 trophy region is extremely ripe for "lazy farming", this is because the players there are trying to reach 1250 trophies to get the 100 gems achievement reward, and so they put their Town Hall in the center of their base to protect it, leaving the collectors on the perimeter. Farming towns on the other hand, always put the Town Hall on the perimeter so that people will kill it easily, granting 12 hours protection from further attacks - you lose way less resources this way, up to a maximum of 2 attacks on you everyday.


I assumed bstrong was like bronze 3 since he doesn't have a cc yet but what you say is very true - particularly concerning when bk or aq is dropped.

Bstrong86, I generally do 2 muscle groups a session, and normally all my work outs are rather high intensity, I tend to super set a lot. Ive been looking for something new simply because I generally cycle through the same basic routines Ive been doing since highschool, I really just started doing various grips and slow reps ect. and its been great. I should do a month or so of just intense body weight stuff.


ericownsyou5, I just started working legs to any real extent and have also seen real improvement in a lot of areas. I am really annoyed however because I cant squat worth anything, im not sure if my form just sucks but putting 45s on each side is pretty much as heavy as I get. The leg press machine how ever I can go five 45 plates each side and do sets of 10 so I know my legs aren't weak. I guess just time and patience will tell. As soon as I get a work out partner im sure they can help me in that area as well.

Det, TEACH ME TO SQUAT. hahaha, I have never been much into bar bench press to be honest, I prefer to use dumbbells instead, Ive maxed out at my gym since their dumbbells only go up to 100. I used to think my chest was probably the strongest thing on me and that when I lost my body fat it would look incredible, but its seriously lacking. Im not sure if this is because ive dislocated my shoulders so many times and some how when I do chest I overcompensate or something but its built a fire in me to focus on my chest and figure out how to sculpt it.

I have been thinking of doing a body building competition in the next two years to have a fitness goal. Guess we will see what happens.


Yeah, while I can leg press insane numbers - the amount I can squat is moderated. I know this is due to 1) back/core strength limitations and 2) form.

Canada is a long way from Texas but I have some advice.

1) Look up. This won't help you lift more but should help protect your neck.
2) Thrust your hips. This will likely help you lift more since you are using a strong part of your body.
3) Good form means sitting back and not sticking your knees past your toes. Good balance can help. Make sure you use good form and help this develop your balance if you need it. Depending on mass distribution this may require you to lean forward more which will definitely require back/core strength.
4) Sometimes (not usually) when I squat my abs are the sorest part of my body the next day because I was really using them to stabilize.
5) If I feel my back is limiting me last time I squat I may do a back workout just because I know my back is limiting me, not my legs.
