So you're saying you want Skyrim-multiplayer?
So you're saying you want Skyrim-multiplayer?
That is how an TES MMO should have been, not Themepark, but Sandbox.
Look at Star Wars Galaxies before the CU, it was a perfect example of a sandbox, no quests, free roam, player made economy, no levels but skills earned through combat, player made cities, etc.
Themepark MMOs are everywhere, and I am SO sick of em.
Swtor, Rift, Guild Wars 2, Wow, LOTRO, etc. They are almost all copies and clones of each other.
I wish more Sandbox ones would come out, and a TES MMO should definitely have been sandbox.
People have gotten the wrong idea that all MMOs have to be Themepark MMOs and Wow clones, but they DON'T!
I blame WOW, the epitomy of Themepark boredom...Dailies, mindless grind quests, reputation grinds and so on.
And in the end, you realize it mattered nothing, because you are just the nameless adventurer no matter what, and even all your progress will be wiped as soon as new expansion came out. Even the lore has been sacrificed for this morbid wheel of pain.
No, I do NOT like Wow, and what it did to this genre. The idea of thousands of players together, in a fictional world, is amazing.
Yet it has turned into an abomination, a massive cash cow enticing players to complete mindnumbing tasks all day who means nothing in the end.

Imo, they should't limit the freedom and game mechanics present in single players elder scrolls games to fit the wow mmo formula, but they should use the advantages offered by the interaction between a huge number of players in MMOs to expand the elder scrolls formula to make it truly become a vivid virtual world. I understand this would be 100 times harder to make then what they are doing in ESO, but if made right it could be so much better.
Yea Gurluas is hitting pretty close to the mark of what a TES MMO should've been. Instead we're getting this, which, while it may not be necessarily bad, just leaves me warier than I'd like to be.

The problem with the internet is parallel to its greatest achievement: it has given the little man an outlet where he can be heard. Most of the time however, the little man is a little man because he is not worth hearing.

A true sandbox TES MMO would be perfect. Much better than a single player game, I think (because it would be a single player game thats constantly updated and also presents you with the option to compete against or play with others). Of course the balance issues need to be fixed and modding limited so some players wouldnt be able to wipe out entire cities or make god items.
Still, I remain cautiously optimistic now. Less optimistic after the "no first person" announcement but still not about to ring the "WoW clone, nothing further to see here, next!" bell.
That was beautfiul, Gurluas. *wipes tear*
Ah, what this game could have been...
inb4 he gets trolled by the "LOLOL HOW CULD DAT WORK IN AN MMO ITS NAWT HOW WOW WORKZ!!!111one11" crowd.
Inbefore "none of you are TRUE TESO fans".

That's what they want a piece of. That's what's going to fund their game if it ever hopes to survive a 6 month window. It's depressing as all hell, but it's the staple for MMORPGs now. Take your scenario for example. Now trust me, I'm fully aware that you already know ALL of this. I'm just clarifying. Anyway, take your scenario of how "TeSO should have been" and release it into the hypothetical world. Now, cue players;
"Wtf. What am I supposed to do?" "I can't figure out where to go now" "Where are my quests?" "Wuts the endgame like" "LOLNUB warriors aren't supposed to use bows!!!11!" "Wuts the best way to make gold??" "Why is the auction house so stupid?" "I dont want an economy i just wunt golds. THANKS OBAMA."
We know this, companies know this and even the people these stereotypes apply to know this. Shamelessly, even. They want fed and TeSO is just trying to be their new addicting snack.

Also, sometimes risks have to be taken and improvements made. Currently there are no AAA sandbox MMOs at all, at least not fantasy MMOs, I don't know about the sci-fi and modern ones. Not only that but Oblivion and especially Skyrim were largely successful while not being traditional RPGs. I think that shows that there are enough people who like these sort of games. So I guess it's still better to take all the sandbox and TES fans than to share the pie with gazillion WoW wannabes. It's also the only way to become the new "WoW" and dictate standards for future games.
Look at the success of cash-shop mobile games or even browser flash games. Blood Brothers for Mobile has netted something like 5 million dollars in the US alone since it's come out on nothing but kids buying currency from its shop so they can do their "dailies" faster. Then, someone walks up to them and throws up the idea of a "Living, breathing world! Dont give them an MMO with Elderscrolls painted on it! Give them something brand new! Something they have to build themselves and will feel far more rewarded for it!" Right, then the big-wig looks down and says "Hmm, an MMO painted like Elder Scrolls! I love it! People will eat it up!"
And they will... for about 2 months. It's nice to fantasize about what the game could have been, but my reality light clicks on way too easily to enjoy it.

From my understanding, TESO IS a sandbox game, with a little bit of themepark for those people who would bitch and whine about there being no endgame. And as far as I could tell, in Skyrim, I was confined to 1 "small" country, so I don't see how it is bad that I am confined to certain portions of the land. Do I like it? Nope, not exactly. But I can understand their reasons for it.
And I do agree with Gurluas's last paragraph. I absolutely hate what WoW has done to the genre, and how everyone thinks all games must be like WoW, yet bitch that the game is too much like WoW and say it's "fail" and quit. Also doesn't help that every developer is wanting the piece of that WoW themepark pie, when there's that older sandbox pie just waiting off to the side growing mold because no one wants to touch it, both on the developer side and player side.
I remember when some EA guy was like "there's at least 12 million MMO fans up for grabs in addition to wows 10 million" or something. It was like... No, there really isn't. EQ/WoW/Rift MMOs are a niche market that is cornered by WoW. The most you could hope to get would be like... 1 million.
There's a larger market for other genres so the rise of hybrid MMOs (arpg mmos, t/fps mmos, rts mmos) is a way for devs to get players who aren't addicted to wow.
Trying to make another WoW that plays and looks like WoW is the worst idea ever (esp because blizzard is increasing their update speed.)
(Warframe) - Dragon & Typhoon-
(Neverwinter) - Trickster Rogue & Guardian Fighter -
At this point, an MMO holding down 750k + for any length of time would be a pretty big success in my book. I sincerely hope these companies aren't really shooting for WoW numbers. For reasons beyond anything competitive or logic-based, it's never going to happen.

So why follow in their footsteps? Spend a lot of money and time and end up at best with less than optimal profits..
Yes a truly innovative MMO would need taking some risks but the profits could also be many times biggers, even 100s of times bigger. Especially when moving into a niche thats currently unoccupied. Sandbox MMOs don't necessarily need super long learning curves or be harder than themepark ones. So it wouldn't be fair to say that all casuals would avoid a game like that in favor on a more WoW-like MMO..
Events that require everyone to come help out with always end up as lagfests and ends up being annoying/useless
Don't get me wrong here, I'm not disagreeing with you. I think there's a huge market for a Sandbox MMO experience. Shit I'd probably play the hell out of it. It'd be very risky but like you said, it's not as if the new action-bar MMO's are breaking any records. For the time being, however, it would seem as those most of the larger MMOs are all trying to fight over the same large group of players and it's not looking like TeSO is breaking that trend.

*Skyrim in TESO will not be as big as Skyrim in Skyrim. They've said that. We can assume then that none of the countries will be as big as their respective games. Nor is it expected that they be (not expected by anyone who isn't a complete moron who thinks they can make several gigantic landmasses that would pretty much be bigger and more detailed than any game at launch).
*Of course there's no problem with being confined to Skyrim when you're playing Skyrim. You don't complain about not being able to see Pandaria in WC3 either. You're not missing out on anything that was already developed. But it's stupid to miss out on things that were developed in the game just because there are invisible walls right in the world. Some people don't like alts.

I don't mean to fanboy this place up, and if this post resembles that, I apologize.
But two off topic things that's bothered me over the past 11 pages since I last posted:
1: The term 'clone' is thrown around so heavilly in this thread (but not exclusively here obviously) that I'm really not sure we can call it cloning anymore. By many examples used in this thread for cloning, I'd argue my parents took my brother and cloned him, creating me. We don't look alike, think alike or share that much except alot of views on things, but we came with the same background, ergo we must be clones. SW:TOR mimicked alot of aspects from WoW, but they sure as heck do not look alike or function alike in so many other aspects. If that's what goes for cloning, I'm really not impressed by that sheep anymore. My local butcher clones pigs.
2: In this recent page, I've read "What the game could have been". Considering the game is not even on the shelves or even closed beta yet, don't you think it's time we take a step back and wait? LOTS of things can change - heck, that's why we bitch and moan, right? - and might change when the closed beta starts. So the game's not going to involve everything, everyone wants. Do we really go into this with the idea that it will? I'm 100% positive there's hundreds of thousands other players out there who wants something diffrent from this game than I do, and that's fine. Broad appeal has upsides and downsides, but those can coexist. Only extremists on both ends "I will NOT play the game if it does NOT have THESE select features!" or "This game caters WAY too much to X so I refuse to play it!" are left out, while the huge center remains. That's not ideal for the extremists, sure, but it's what I would call brilliant design and marketing.
Sorry for going OT, I just wanted to throw in the two points, that we use the term 'cloning' way too broadly when some aspects are remotely identical to others, and we should'nt begin dooming or glorifying the game before it's even released.
Thanks for reading. I don't plan to be vocal around here again despite this post, way too much flamebaiting and pointless argueing from both sides, but I'll be reading for those, fortunately common, gems of insight or knowladge/speculation.
- Kasp.
Enough with bashing eachother, guys.. This community is still young and needs to grow up and show that not everyone are jerks. We're gamers and we enjoy games, don't bash eachother over what games they like or their oppinions, but don't let them bash others either. We need to come together and stand up, as a community, and help eachother out by being respectful and understanding. Please.
Kasp, I wish I could hold to your optimism to how things can change since they're still in alpha stages. But I've learned that things DON'T for the most part change. I don't expect them to. And every new piece of information about the game only indicates that its moving more towards the WoW formula, which would be perfectly fine if it wasn't sacrificing the TES formula in the process.

Race 8 - $10,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool
Jeremey's $1 Pick Four Ticket: 1,3,4,5 / 3 / 1,9 / 4,6 = $16
Best Bet: NEAR THE LIMIT (5th)
Spot Play: MOM'S LOOKER (7th)
Race 1
(1) TALLERTHANWOODY bumps up in class but finds a really soft field and draws the best post. (3) LEGACY CHIP has just been racing evenly but is facing an easier bunch. (5) BUCKEYE PATTY comes off a layoff and could need a start.
[DRF HARNESS: Check out our NEW and IMPROVED Harness Eye PPs and see our discount packages]
Race 2
(5) CALLING A VICTORY put in a real nice qualifier and could be ready for a big effort off the bench. (6) HIGH STAKES BANKER does have some ability and seems to race better with tough trips. (7) SCHALYN mare raced well up in class in her first start in almost six months. The veteran trotter is a threat even from the tough post.
Race 3
(5) MAKIN GREEN LAVEC trotting mare could have gained some confidence in her most recent win. (1) AZUR comes off a win but takes a significant hike in class and needs a trip. (3) ROSE RUN MAC was an easy winner down in class but this is a much tougher spot.
Race 4
(1) CINDERELLA STORY well bred mare makes her first start for a new trainer and was the driver's choice. (6) LISMARASLADY drops down in class and picks up the top driver; threat. (5) MISS HKB showed good closing ability in her last effort and needs a similar setup.
Race 5
(5) NEAR THE LIMIT gelding almost made it two straight last out. The veteran trotter finds a much weaker field than his last few. (1) VACATION ANGEL was a big upset winner first time in a new barn and could have more to offer. (3) OXFORD HORNET owns gate speed but would need much more to hit the top spot.
Race 6
(3) CATCHING KATIE put in a huge move last start and a repeat of that makes it two in a row. (7) ANNIE'S ROCKETMAN if the nice-looking trotter makes the top he could be the only threat to the top choice. (6) FORTUNE SAILOR has been racing gamely but was no match for the top choice last out.
Race 7
(6) MOM'S LOOKER keeps the top driver, gets an improved post, and finds a really inconsistent field. (3) MASTER LAD PRO at times shows a good burst of speed; threat. (8) TYRANY SEELSTER is one of the fastest trotters in the race but will need a lot of luck from the worst starting spot.
Race 8
(5) MARTINA'S QUEEN is inconsistent from week to week but can trot up a storm when she decides to. (4) UP FRONT STRIKING is on the comeback trail from after over a year off and looks to just now be back in racing shape. (3) MISS EVA CASH is fast enough to get the job done against this bunch if the pilot can work out a trip.
Race 9
(3) TIMER picks up a huge driver change and looks to be tough to catch. (5) ATAWAY AIDAN takes a drop in class after a few issues; use underneath. (6) CHIP'S DREAMER comes off a layoff for a new trainer and probably needs a start.
Race 10
(1) TICKLE MY FANTASY connections are on fire and the gelding gets another great post to be sent down the road; short price. (9) JJ NEWTON gelding is probably the only threat to the top choice if he can get a decent stalking spot out of the gate. (7) LITLE BIT SIDEWAYS went a really big effort last start but will need to find a way into the race.
Race 11
(4) RAMEMBER picks up the top driver off an easy win and looks to make it two straight. (6) LIGHTNINGINTHESKY had some eye-popping form reversals last year and now makes his third start off a layoff; threat. (1) SUNBURNED VERN bumps up in class but does get the best post; use underneath.
Race 12
(3) NEELY SPRING gelding didn't come back off a layoff sharp. The 4-year-old trotter put in a much better effort last out which could signal a return to form. (1) LA'SENT mare should utilize her gate speed with the rail giving her an ideal trip. (4) STRIKING LIGHTNING would need a lot of luck to upset; use underneath.
Race 13
In a wide open and tough race to handicap (9) DEBT CONSOLIRAIDER will offer a huge price and could be better second start in a new barn. (4) LUCKY IVAN also makes his second start in a new barn and benefits from the top driver. (3) DREW BROMAC N looks to be facing a slightly easier field than his last two.
Race 14
(3) ALIGNED ANOVER well bred gelding sticks out on paper and takes a huge drop in class; short price. (1) FOREVER HAPPY has the only shot to upset the top choice but should probably be keyed underneath. (5) FULLY LOADED GUN has turned it around recently but is facing better.
Race 15
(5) MOST REMARKABLE gets sent out for a low percentage pilot but is probably sitting on the fastest horse. (9) CATEGORY SIX classy gelding picks up a huge drivers change and looks to be in a good spot to do some damage. (2) QUINTAL BAYAMA gets a good post and looks to be in line for a ground saving trip.

Washington, Jan 29 : President Barack Obama enjoyed his highest approval ratings in Washington, D. C., and Hawaii in 2012, according to a new poll.
The Gallup Poll found that Obama's top approval rating for last year was in D. C., at 82.4 percent, followed by Hawaii at 64.2 percent and Vermont at 59.1 percent.
The poll found that the president, however, clocked in with popularity under 30 percent in Utah and Wyoming.
According to Politico, the Democratic president was least popular in Utah, where he has a 27.9 percent approval rating; in Wyoming at 28.5 percent and in Alaska at 31.4 percent.
Gallup indicated that his overall approval rating is an average of 48 percent for 2012, up from 44 percent the previous year. (ANI)

Some call Wes Anderson the contemporary poster child of Criterion. His films offer satisfying glimpses into upper-middle class sensibilities filtered through a particular, undeniably Andersonian lens. The Royal Tenenbaums, though arguably not his best film, is a crowd pleaser and my personal favorite. I have watched it more than any other film I own. It was my first Criterion title and remains my favorite edition in the Collection.
I feel that The 400 Blows, more than most other titles in the Collection, truly embodies the spirit of Criterion. Truffaut's debut stands as one of the greatest films of all time and has a timeless quality rivaled by next to none.
This is probably my favorite film of all time--the first of two brilliant collaborations between Jonze and Kaufman--featuring excellent performances from Keener, Cusack, Diaz, and Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich. Kooky surrealism has never felt so good.
Paris, Texas is unlike any other movie I've seen. Wandering through the desert alone, Stanton's Travis seems a man whose journey cannot be shared, whose suffering cannot be understood by anyone. Then Nastassja Kinski arrives and upsets all of our preconceived notions, offering Travis's missing half in one of the most lovely and unforgettable exchanges in cinematic history. I am immensely moved every time I watch it.
Robert Altman was one of America's greatest filmmakers (if not our greatest), and Short Cuts is one of a handful of films that could be called his magnum opus. Breathing new life into Raymond Carver's stories and transporting them south, Altman, with sweeping, ambitious scope, offers a version of Los Angeles unlike any before him. Short Cuts is the crowning achievement of Altman's glorious renaissance.
Conversely, here Altman proves himself adept at taking our breath away with the peculiarities of small, seemingly insignificant lives. The director makes grander statements in this microcosmic case study of American life than he does even with the broader strokes of his epic masterworks, Short Cuts and Nashville. As always, he rightfully trusts the instincts of his actors, and he could not have made better choices here than the infinitely complex Sissy Spacek and the always delightful Shelley Duvall.
Kieślowski's Three Colors trilogy is a modern masterpiece, and Blue is hands down my favorite of the trio. Juliette Binoche is note-perfect.
Murmur of the Heart will always have a special place in my heart. I picked it up on a whim immediately after its DVD release, and I was enraptured. It was my introduction to Louis Malle and only my second Criterion title (after Tenenbaums). In short, it is the film that made me fall in love with the Collection. I always liked offbeat, non-mainstream films, and Malle's hilarious Murmur of the Heart showed me exactly where I could satisfy my needs. From that point on, I was hooked on Criterion.
Every time I watch Slacker I notice something new. Richard Linklater's examination of the (extra-)ordinariness of everyman existence in Austin, Texas, is quirky and hilarious, a piece of living, breathing art--in short, something of a minor masterpiece.
David Gordon Green stunned everyone with George Washington. Though none of his subsequent films have lived up to this spectacular debut, Green stands as a brilliant auteur and, by extension, an important filmmaker. George Washington is one of the most special American films of the last several decades, the work of a master craftsman with a uniquely-tuned vision of the contemporary Gothic South. Adolescence has never been rendered so naturally or with such heartbreaking beauty.
It seems that I cannot escape the inevitability of returning once more to my favorite living actor, the spectacular Juliette Binoche. Here Binoche again proves herself able to do just about anything in this lovely gem about three siblings sorting out their mother's inheritance. Assayas renders globalization tangible in a way unlike anyone before him. He sidesteps our expectations by creating an organic film that is as real and particular as the matriarch Hélène's gorgeous country estate. Like Hélène's artwork and knickknacks, Summer Hours is a personal and special artifact, something to treasure.

Opening weekend of the black-tailed buck rifle season came and went in typical fashion, with warm and sunny skies casting a pall over buck-shooters' success in the woods.
Opening weekend of the black-tailed buck rifle season came and went in typical fashion, with warm and sunny skies casting a pall over buck-shooters' success in the woods.
Successful deer hunters were widely scattered around the Rogue Valley on Saturday and Sunday, but reports found scant numbers of hunters tagging bucks.
"The harvest was pretty slow," says wildlife biologist Steve Niemela from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's Central Point office. "The weather certainly didn't cooperate."
Cameras set on key deer-migration routes have shown little movement of late among Southern Oregon's migratory blacktail herds.
By mid-week, a cold front had descended upon Southern Oregon, bringing with it cooler temperatures and cloudier days but only a slight chance of rain by Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.
If the old adage is true, and "what's bad for sunbathers is good for hunting," the woods could become more conducive to buck hunting during this first leg of the two-part general season.
"We'll see how it goes," Niemela says. "Now that we have a cold front, it will improve things."
The general deer season for rifle hunters is Jackson County's most popular hunting season, with anywhere from one in four to one in five hunters bagging a buck in the process.
The annual Green Dot road closure goes into effect Wednesday in parts of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest in preparation for the general Roosevelt bull elk hunting season, which starts Saturday, Oct. 16.
Now in its 25th year, the temporary road closures are designed to improve the quality of the general-season rifle hunt by reducing the number of vehicles in the heavily-roaded forest areas, as well as improving bull escapement, minimizing wildlife harassment and protecting area habitat.
Vehicles can be driven only on roads sporting green, reflective dots during the program, which runs through Friday, Oct. 22, the end of the general rifle season.
Green Dot maps are available at the Forest Service stations in Prospect and Butte Falls, as well as the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife office at the Denman Wildlife Area, 1495 E. Gregory Road in White City.
Part of the Taylor Creek Road area near Galice will be closed Mondays through Thursdays beginning this week while Forest Service crews repair the damaged roadway as part of a larger forest-improvement project there.
The road, however, will be open for use Fridays through Sundays until the work is complete.
The effected roadway is between Forest Service Road No. 2512 and the Merlin-Galice Highway.
The work is part of the Myers Rat Stewardship project, which is funded through a federal stimulus grant. It includes eight different road repairs along Forest Service Road No. 2500 and includes various thinning projects and fuels-reduction work.

Mencius(孟子, Meng Zi) (372BC-289BC) was historically known by his birth name Ke and Zi Yu. Mencius. Mencius was born in State of Zou during the Warring State Period, and said to be the descendent of Qing Fu(庆父), a deadly infamous person of Lu State, there was a saying going : The Catastrophe of Lu State would not stop if Qing Fu does not die. It was said that Mencius was the fourth generation of Confucianism and taught by Zi Si(子思), the grandson of Confucius. Mencius inferior to Confucius was highly respected as Ya Sheng(亚圣), or Inferior Saint to Confucius. Confucius was Chinese anciently famous ideologist, statesman and educationist. He was the most famous representative of Chinese Confucianism in Period of Warring States. His classics was named after his name. Chinese People widely call it Meng Zi. Mencius succeeded to the ideological system of Confucius. Confucius and Mencius were together called Kongmeng(孔孟), which became an idiom on behalf of Confucianism.

Walmart caused major Christmas problems for the Lopez family this year.When Steve Lopez went to Walmart to buy his daughter a pair of Beats Headphones, he got something completely unexpected.All Carmen Lopez, 14, wanted for Christmas was a pair of the Beats by Dre headphones.Prior to Christmas, Lopez ordered a pair of the expensive headphones. Then he had them delivered to a Marysville, Washington Walmart. Once they arrived, Steve Lopez rushed out to the Walmart to grant his daughter's request.
Of course, Lopez just wrapped the present without inspecting the box. On Christmas day the family was shocked to the point of tears.Carmen was so disappointed that she began crying. Lopez said that ""My daughter was crying … had tears in her eyes."
Instead of headphones, Carmen found cans of tuna in her Beats by Dre box.When Steve Lopez confronted the Walmart store, they just offered him a refund instead of a new pair of headphones. Understandably, Carmen was still upset.She wanted headphones, not a refund. To add to the family's disappointment,the headphones were discounted, so the refund wasn't enough to buy a new pair.This isn't the first time Walmart had a box switch mess up.In Detroit, Michigan, last year, a woman went to buy an IPad for her daughter, but instead the box was filled with stacks of paper. A similar incident happened again this week (watch video below for more details).
Carmen's headphones story does have a happy ending.The global sales manager of Beats by Dre, Lindsay Merkle,saw the story on Q13 Fox news. Merkle was in the area visiting her family for the holidays.She felt so bad for the Lopez family that she declared to right Walmart's wrong. She's going to make sure either her or one of her family members brings Carmen her pair of Beats by Dre headphones.
So Carmen's Christmas has a happy ending after all, and Walmart hopefully learns a lesson about inspecting their packages better.

So I've been promising you all a bit of music, and I've been promising you this for a very long time.
Well today I'm finally delivering!
I strummed out a chord progression on Sunday, and played it to Jacko on Wednesday, and almost immediately we turned it into this.
Now this is a real rough and ready recording. There's clearly a lot of mistakes, but we did record this mere minutes after we wrote it and through my laptop's built in mic. Despite all that, we both really like it!
I don't know if we'll be making many changes to the song and its structure. I quite like the idea of having a nice and simple song, lasting for not much more than two minutes.
But we're not done yet! The next steps will be to get it tight and pen some lyrics.
Let me know what you think, any suggestions will be most welcome! If you're nice I'll pin up some other recordings for you!

Danish National Football Team Practice Vedbaek Reviews
3 reviews
Jun 03, 2007
It's free to come look whenever the Danish National Football Team practices in Vedbæk, North of Copenhagen.
After the tragic football match agains Sweden last night, I decided to go there to take some photos.
You can watch by the side of the small Stadium, and all players are happy to sign autographs and get their pictures taken with you afterwards.
At DBU's official website you can see when the next practice will be: http://www.dbu.dk/page.aspx?id=312
A great oppertunity to get close to the stars of Danish football.

In 1993 this IRA thug walked into a fish shop in Belfast with a bomb that went off prematurely (of course) injuring 57 people, including a 79-year-old woman and two two-year-old boys. It also killed ten people, including a thirteen-year-old girl named Leanne Baird, and her little sister, Michelle, seven.
And that's why a 12 year old girl has problems every time she tries to board a plane.
But boy, do I feel safe now!
As the government reviews how an alleged terrorist was able to bring a bomb onto a U.S.-bound plane and try to blow it up on Christmas Day, the Transportation Security Administration is going after bloggers who wrote about a directive to increase security after the incident.
I feel much safer already.
The ability to speak a second language isn't the only thing that distinguishes bilingual people from their monolingual counterparts—their brains work differently, too. Research has shown, for instance, that children who know two languages more easily solve problems that involve misleading cues. A new study published in Psychological Science reveals that knowledge of a second language—even one learned in adolescence—affects how people read in their native tongue. The findings suggest that after learning a second language, people never look at words the same way again.
Conservative radio talk host Rush Limbaugh was rushed to a Honolulu hospital on Wednesday afternoon with chest pains, sources told KITV.
He probably had a heart-attack when somebody showed him Obama's birth certificate..
Retired dentist, Young C. Park, caught the model airplane bug as a boy, growing up in Hawaii. He continued to build and fly kits his whole life. But when he retired, he wanted to combine his fascination for aluminum, with his love of fighter planes. He decided to build models of the F-4U-D Corsair, and later the P-51 Mustang, out of aluminum the way they were built originally.
Despite fearful rhetoric to the contrary, terrorism is not a transcendent threat. A terrorist attack cannot possibly destroy a country's way of life; it's only our reaction to that attack that can do that kind of damage. The more we undermine our own laws, the more we convert our buildings into fortresses, the more we reduce the freedoms and liberties at the foundation of our societies, the more we're doing the terrorists' job for them.
— Bruce Schneier
It should come as no surprise then, that according to a new report from the IMF, lenders that did the most aggressive lobbying also engaged in the most risky loans.
Excessive risk, in other words, is correlated with campaign cash and lobbying money. Banks and corporations which committed millions to lobbying, the report rather timidly suggests, may have received "preferential treatment" and influenced policy decisions.
"Illegal aliens" get cheap healthcare intended only for citizens.
I guess it's time to build a fence.
Here's a rare chance to step inside a would-be terrorist's head. From 2005 to 2007, underpants bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab appears to have posted 310 times to the Islamic Forum on Gawaher.com, under the handle "Farouk1986." Now, all of Farouk1986's posts have been assembled into a single file, thanks to Evan Kohlmann, the NEFA Foundation's indefatigable jihadism researcher.
Even now, with the blogs all over the story, and Michael Wolff griping, and with AT&T admitting that its coverage in New York and San Francisco isn't up to par — even now, with all this going on, no one in the mainstream media will hold AT&T's feet to the fire.
Know why? Katie points me to this article. The big T was the second-biggest ad spender last year, just slightly behind Verizon. For the first nine months of this year they've dropped a bit but they're still the fourth-biggest advertiser.
But wait a minute, you say. Would TV networks and leading newspapers really look the other way on a big story just because they feared losing advertising revenue? Would AT&T really use its advertising budget as a weapon to shape the way it gets covered? Surely that kind of thing doesn't happen.
Yeah. Surely not. Must be something else. All that breaking news about the underpants bomber or something.
Here is a good eye witness account of what happened on the crotch-bomber flight…
Five years ago, on Boxing Day, December 26th, 2004, a magnitude 9.3 earthquake hit the seafloor of the Indian Ocean, causing tremendous waves of seawater to rush ashore as devastating tsunamis that left 230,000 people dead across 13 different countries – the fifth deadliest natural disaster in recorded history. Over 45,000 of the dead were never found. Five years later now, reconstruction moves apace, as multiple aid groups have built more than 140,000 homes, 1,700 schools, 3,800 houses of worship and 3,700 km of roads. On this anniversary of the catastrophe, we have collected here photographs of survivors, some rebuilding, some remembering, and seven sets of "before and after" photos (numbers 4-10, be sure to click them to see the transition effect). I'd also like to direct your attention to a fantastic multimedia presentation on this subject from Thomson/Reuters called Surviving the Tsunami. (25 photos total)
(Before) bodies of tsunami victims float in the water near the city port of Banda Aceh on December 29, 2004, and (after) a view of the same area, debris and bodies cleared, damaged buildings repaired, on December 3, 2009.
News out of Afghanistan, Pakistan and India reports massive corruption at the highest levels of government, corruption that could only be financed with drug money. In Afghanistan, the president's brother is known to be one of the biggest drug runners in the world.
In Pakistan, President Zardani is found with 60 million in a Swiss Bank and his Interior Minister is suspected of ties to American groups involved in paramilitary operations, totally illegal that could involve nothing but drugs, there is no other possibility.
Testimony in the US that our government has used "rendition" flights to transport massive amounts of narcotics to Western Europe and the United States has been taken in sworn deposition.
American mercenaries in Pakistan are hundreds of miles away from areas believed to be hiding terrorists, involved in "operations" that can't have anything whatsoever to do with any CIA contract. These mercenaries aren't in Quetta, Waziristan or FATA supporting our troops, they are in Karachi and Islamabad playing with police and government officials and living the life of the fatted calf.
Drugs will never be decriminalized – it's too profitable to keep things the way they are.
It seems as though we hear about a new carbon offset schemes every week, and each one is less credible than the one before.
But competing designers of offset plans will have to work very hard to beat Optimum Population Trust (OPT), an English outfit that campaigns for population control in third world countries and for reduced immigration to the UK. For sheer chutzpah, it will be hard to beat PopOffsets.
You guessed it. Instead of actually reducing your carbon emissions, you can now pay OPT to persuade third world women not to have babies!
What's more, it's cheap. According to the website:
"Research is indicating that providing a currently unmet need for family planning is the lowest cost way of reducing CO2 emissions and climate change – possibly less than one third of the cost of other technological fixes – without any environmental downsides."[1]
[1] In case you are wondering, the research turns out to be one paper by a grad student who was paid by OPT. Peer-reviewed? Not a chance.
THE RECENT RESEARCH in social psychology offers a couple of central lessons. The first is a bit surprising: We intervene not because of stories of desperate circumstances but when we can be cheered up with positive stories of success and transformation. For example, one experiment found that people are quite willing to pay for a water-treatment facility to save 4,500 lives in a refugee camp with 11,000 people in it, but they are much less willing to pay for the same facility to save 4,500 lives when the refugee camp is said to have 250,000 inhabitants. In effect, what matters is saving a high proportion of people, not just a large number of lives. Paul Slovic, a psychology professor at the University of Oregon who has pioneered this field of research, notes that saving a large proportion of a group is very satisfying, while saving a small proportion seems like a failure—even if it's a high number. All this fits in with a large body of research that suggests that people do good things in part because it feels good. The irony: Altruism creates its own selfish reward. Or, to put it another way, nobody gains more selfish pleasure than those who act selflessly.
Unfortunately, the most cost-effective aid interventions tend to be the kind that are incremental and save only a small proportion of lives—and are thus least satisfying to the giver.
Studies have suggested that iodizing salt brings real economic returns of nine times the cost—and yet we don't do it. The reason is, I think, that the results are statistical, not visible. You can never look at a child afterwards and say, "This girl would have been retarded if it weren't for iodized salt." All you can do is note that retardation rates fall and that, a decade later, school performance improves significantly.
A German computer engineer said Monday that he had deciphered and published the secret code used to encrypt most of the world's digital mobile phone calls, saying it was his attempt to expose weaknesses in the security of global wireless systems.
The action by the encryption expert, Karsten Nohl, aimed to question the effectiveness of the 21-year-old G.S.M. algorithm, a code developed in 1988 and still used to protect the privacy of 80 percent of mobile calls worldwide.
In a statement, the G.S.M. Association said efforts to crack the algorithm were more complex than critics have asserted, and that operators, by simply modifying the existing algorithm, could thwart any unintended surveillance.
The group said that hackers intent on illegal eavesdropping would need a radio receiver system and signal processing software to process raw radio data, much of which is copyrighted.
Yes, you read that correctly. They managed to keep a straight face while stating that a hacker would be willing to break numerous laws to listen in on an encrypted conversations but wouldn't dare break copyright on the signal processing software.
several readers mailed me about the crack earlier. I didn't bother to post it, because it isn't news. Buying off-the-shelve intercept and decrypt equipment has been possible for years. And that's the difficult way of doing things.
The most foolproof way of intercepting GSM is probably to just set up a base station (e.g. picocell or microcell) and then tap the IP or PSTN backhaul. It gets around the problem of encryption completely. I wouldn't call this MITM, although some people do, because you're not really in the "middle" of anything — you actually are providing call termination and acting as the cell tower.
Then there's an active MITM attack, which takes advantage of the poorly-designed encryption fallback mechanism. It's described in this paper (PDF). Basically you MITM between the victim handset and the network, and pretend (to the victim) that you're an A5/2-only network, grab the key, and then (to the network) pretend to be a normal A5/1 handset. Supposedly it creates less than a 1s delay during initial call setup (and this was on 2004 hardware) and is transparent once it gets going, provided the phone isn't set to display a warning when A5/2 is in use.
But GSM is horrible with keys. From the same paper, it clear that many networks initiate the authentication procedure rarely, and use the key created in the last authentication. An attacker can discover this key by impersonating the network to the victim mobile phone. Then the attacker initiates a radio-session with the victim, and asks the victim mobile phone to start encrypting using A5/2. The attacker performs the attack, recovers the key, and ends the radio session. The owner of the mobile phone and the network have no indication of the attack.
And all that is peanuts compared to the best way to decrypt your calls: the court order. Anybody who thinks his GSM conversations are secure is an idiot.
Sen. Joseph Lieberman, (I-Conn) a renowned hawk and one of the foremost champions of the invasion of Iraq, warned on Sunday that the United States faced "danger" unless it pre-emptively acts to curb the rise of terrorism in Yemen.
"Somebody in our government said to me in Sana'a, the capital of Yemen, Iraq was yesterday's war. Afghanistan is today's war. If we don't act preemptively, Yemen will be tomorrow's war," Lieberman said, during an appearance on "Fox News Sunday". "That's the danger we face."
So to prevent it from becoming tomorrow's war, we must make it today's war?
And how, exactly, did the bombing of Yemen the US did on December 16th stop the crotch-bomber?
Somebody please hit Lieberman with a size 10 clue stick.
A singed pair of underwear with a packet of powder sewn into the crotch, seen in government photos obtained exclusively by ABC News, is all that remains of al Qaeda's attempt to down an American passenger plane over Detroit.
It is a six-inch long packet of the high explosive chemical called PETN, less than a half cup in volume, weighing about 80 grams.
A government test with 50 grams of PETN blew a hole in the side of an airliner. That was the amount in the bomb carried by the so-called shoe bomber Richard Reid over Christmas 2001.
Would that have been enough to bring down the plane?
Schiphol airport handled 47,430,019 passengers in 2008.
So far, we've seen one terrorist attempt, and that attempt has prompted cries for installation of new scanners.
Let's say these devices are 99.999% accurate for both false positives and false negatives. Usually the ratio for false positives is different from the one for false negatives, but either one will be worse than the five-nines I'm using here – no device maker I know claims such insanely accurate results, but let's just do the calculations anyway, and remember that any result we get will be much better than real-life results.
It would mean 1 missed terrorist for every 10,000 real terrorists trying to pass through the checks. Now there aren't 10,000 real terrorists in the world, so it's a pretty meaningless number, but I guess it's an acceptable miss-ratio.
It would also mean arresting about 4750 non-terrorists you mis-identify. That's about 13 arrests a day, all year long. And that's not acceptable.
This means that statistically the security at the airport is a bigger threat to your safety than any terrorist would be.
Feel safer yet?
So what has the TSA done in response to the attempted attack? They've told airlines to make passengers stay in their seats during the last hour of flight. They've made it verboten for passengers to hold anything in their laps, again only during the last hour of flight. Perhaps most hilariously telling, they've forbidden pilots from announcing when a plane is flying over certain cities and landmarks.
There is no other way to interpret it: The TSA is saying clearly that they can't prevent terrorists from getting explosives on airplanes, but by god, they'll make sure those planes explode only when the TSA says it's okay.
Read the President's latest remarks:
رئیس جمهوری در ارتباط با خشونت درایران سخن می گوید
سرکوب خشونت بار معترضان به وسیلۀ دولت ایران در پایان این هفته، بر اساس گزارشها، به چندین مورد مرگ و بازداشت صدها تن از تظاهر کنندگان، از جمله چندین نفر از چهره های سیاسی و فعالان حقوق بشر انجامیده است. اقدامات پیگیر سرکوبگرانه از جانب دولت بعد از انتخابات اختلاف انگیز ریاست جهوری ماه ژوئن، به انتقادات تند در سطح بین المللی دامن زده است. ایالات متحده همواره برای کسانی که درایران، و درسراسر جهان خوستار به کاربستن حقوق جهانی بشر خود هستند نقش گواه را ایفا می کند و در کنارشان ایستاده است.
به آخرین سخنان رئیس جمهوری در زیر رجوع کنید:
پیش از این که اینجا را ترک کنم من اجازه دهید به اختصار به رویدادهایی که ظرف چند روز گذشته در جمهوری اسلامی ایران رخ داده است نیز بپردازم. ایالات متحده برای محکوم ساختن هرچه شدید تر سرکوب خشونت آمیز و غیرعادلانۀ شهروندان بی گناه ایرانی که ظاهرا به موارد متعددی از بازداشتها و جراحات و حتی مرگ منجر شده است، به جامعۀ بین المللی می پیوندد.
طی چندین ماه مردم ایران خواستار چیزی بیشتر از برخوردرای از حقوق جهانی خود نبوده اند. هر بار که آنها چنین کرده اند، حتی در موقعیت های خطیر و روزهای مقدس، با مشت آهنین خشونت روبرو شده اند. و هر بار که این اتفاق افتاده، جهان با احساس عمیق ستایش برای شجاعت و عزم راسخ مردم ایران که بخشی از تمدن بزرگ و برجای ماندنی ایران اند، به نظاره نشسته است.
آنچه که در داخل ایران در حال روی دادن است با ایالات متحده یا هیچ کشور دیگری ارتباط ندارد – بلکه مربوط به مردم ایران و آرمانهای عدالتخواهی آنها و یک زندگی بهتر برای خودشان است. و تصمیم رهبران ایران برای حکومت از طریق توسل به ترس و ستمکاری، به از میان بردن آن آرمان ها توفیق نخواهد یافت. و همانگونه که من در اسلو اعلام داشتم، این روش هنگامی بروز می کند که دولتها از آرمانهای مردم خود بیش از قدرت هر کشور دیگری وحشت دارند.
ایالات متحده همراه با دیگر کشورهای آزاد در کنار کسانی که خواستار حقوق جهانی خود هستند ایستاده است. ما از دولت ایران می خواهیم تا الزامات بین المللی ای را که نسبت به رعایت حقوق مردم خود دارد محترم شمارد. ما آزادی بی درنگ کسانی را که به طرز غیرعادلانه ای در داخل ایران بازداشت شده اند خواستاریم. ما به نقش خود به عنوان گواه رویدادهای خارق العاده ای که در ایران در حال رخ دادن است ادامه می دهیم. و من اطمینان دارم که تاریخ در کنار جستجو کنندگان عدالت قرار خواهد داشت.
Officials now say tragedy was only averted on Northwest flight 253 because a makeshift detonator failed to work properly.
Bomb experts say there was more than enough explosive to bring down the Northwest jet, which had nearly 300 people aboard, had the detonator not failed, and the nation's outdated airport screening machines may need to be upgraded.
"We've known for a long time that this is possible," said Richard Clarke, former counterterrorism czar and ABC News consultant,
I call bullshit. And the next sentence in the article explains why:
"and that we really have to replace our scanning devices with more modern systems."
Clarke said full body scans were needed, "but they're expensive and they're intrusive. They invade people's privacy."
They're just using this incident to push for new toys and more power to annoy travelers.
If you're on Twitter, that means you registered an account with a password that isn't terribly easy to guess. As you may know, Twitter prevents people from doing just that by indicating that certain passwords such as 'password' (cough cough) and '123456′ are too obvious to be picked.
It just so happens that Twitter has hard-coded all banned passwords on the sign-up page. All you need to do to retrieve the full list of unwelcome passwords is take a look at the source code of that page.

Bamba out for a fortnight
Leicester defender Sol Bamba has been ruled out of the Foxes' Easter weekend clashes with a hamstring strain.
The Ivory Coast defender limped off during the 3-1 defeat to Reading on Saturday only 11 minutes into the second half, and will now miss City's next two matches against Nottingham Forest and Watford.
Foxes boss Sven-Goran Eriksson said: "Sol has damaged his hamstring and I am told by the physio it will be at least two weeks, although he will have a scan and we will know more then.
"It is a blow as Sol has been very good for us."
Bamba has featured as the only ever-present centre-back under Eriksson, making 18 appearances since sealing a move from Hibernian in January.

This dress is very soft and feels extremely comfortable. The quality seems to be good, and I am so happy I ordered it. I was nervous it would be too long because I am 5'3", but it only slightly touches the ground. Even if it doesn't shrink when I wash it, I currently have no trouble walking in it and nothing drags the ground while walking. I weigh around 119lbs and the XS fits perfectly. The S would probably be uncomfortably big. I highly recommend this dress!

A body suit allows the Endermologie ® treatment head to glide more easily over the body and insures optimal hygiene.
You will most likely notice an improvement in skin tone after using the machine. Appearance of stretch marks and loose skin may be improved. It is not a weight loss machine. However, many clients report being able to lose weight, especially fat weight, more easily while using the machine than they ever could before.
What is the difference between Endermologie ® and liposuction? Can it be used instead of liposuction?
Endermologie ®, unlike liposuction, does not involve breaking through the skin in any way. Some people try Endermologie ® first and then choose to wait to receive liposuction. Some choose to receive both as part of a dual treatment to their problem. Endermologie ® is being used and studied by some of the most well known practitioners of liposuction in the world.
What sensations will I experience during the treatment? Does it hurt?
The sensation is similar to a deep massage. Most clients find it quite pleasant. The strength of the treatment can be individually adjusted to your comfort level.
Most clients report a feeling of relaxation and an increase in energy. Since the Lymph system is stimulated, it is recommended that you drink at least two liters of water every day during the duration of your treatment in order to aid in there any side effects? Minor, temporary bruising may occur.
No correlation has been found between Endermologie ® and complications in pregnancy. However, it is recommended that during pregnancy you do NOT receive treatments.occur with liposuction.
Can I have Endermologie ® treatments if I'm planning to have liposuction?
Yes! Endermologie is recommended by many plastic surgeons before and after liposuction (especially after). Lipomassage-Endermologie ® counteracts the rippling and hardfat deposits.
The long term of Endermologie was evaluated in women over a one year period. Seven sessions a treatment with Endermologie showed a mean index reduction in body circumference of 1.34 cm, or a little more than.5 inches, while while those who completed 14 sessions of treatments showed a mean index reduction in body circumference of 1.83 cm or almost. 75 inches. The study provided encouraging evidence of actual physical or structural changes of the architecture of the tissues in the stomach and thighs. And new research was recently released showing that Endermologie treatment does more than increase collagen: it actually kick starts fat cells into burning more body fat. Endermologie not only shrink Fat cells also Tone the body and the Skin looks 75% tighter.

It seems to me that CPUs 0-1 should be antipreferentially scheduled, since they will have slower access to the memory than CPUs 2-3. Since in this case all the memory is in the same place you could argue that SMP distances could do the same job, which is of course true.However, consider now:CPU [0-1] - no memoryCPU [2-3] - memoryCPU [4-5] - memoryEach node is equidistant, but for the memory nodes there is differences between their own local memory and the remote memory.CPU [0-1] cannot be considered local in either node, since they are further away from the memory than either, and furthermore, unlike either of the memory nodes, they have no preference for memory from either of the other two nodes (quite on the contrary; they would probably benefit from drawing from both.) > I don't know who has been pushing the memoryless node support, but it > appears as though it hasn't been fully tested yet.

Daily's helps expand St. Vincent's mobile health fleet
A blessing and dedication ceremony for the newest unit in St. Vincent's mobile clinic fleet was held April 3 at the Daily's convenience store, 4225 Roosevelt Blvd.
The Daily's Mobile Health Clinic is a brand new "doctor's office on wheels" with bi-lingual physicians and nurses that will travel throughout the region to serve uninsured children and their families who are medically under-served. This Clinic, like the others in the program, will offer services ranging from providing school children immunizations and school or sports physicals to health screenings, diagnostic testing and disease management for adults.
Last year, St. Vincent's Mobile Health Outreach Ministry provided more than 31,000 free adult and pediatric services to nearly 15,000 patients. Among those, 26 percent were from rural areas, 18 percent were inner-city working poor and 56 percent were children living in low-income neighborhoods.
For the last five years, Daily's THE TRADITION golf tournament at TPC Sawgrass has raised funds to purchase this new St. Vincent's Mobile Health Clinic and support some of the program costs.
