I wish if the bluetouth watch can connects to more than one device [2 phones + 2 headsets]

Blue Oxfords
"I really wanted to love these oxfords but they didn't live up to my expectations. First of all, when I took them out of the box, I've noticed that some seams are not very even. But I figured it's not very noticeable unless looking very closely. The deal breaker was the fit. I felt like I stuck my feet into wooden boxes. The shoes are so tough, have no flexibility. It was very uncomfortable to walk on the carpet in my living room. Can't imagine wearing them outside. I'm returning these :( Oh well...."

Great buy!
"I recently bought these oxfords in beige and am very happy with my decision. I saw one review of these that was negative, so I was a bit concerned. However, once I got these and tried them on, I love them. My feet are narrow so I have no problem with width. But I can see how for a wider foot, these would be tight."

best oxfords I found in store
"I bought these shoes today in store after trying on almost every oxford flat the store had in my size. I got the beige not even knowing blue was available online (oh well). I got these to have something cute but casual (and not a flat) that would look good with shorts and dresses. I found the heel has very soft and comfortable leather backing so I dont anticipate these shoes rubbing my heels. I admit it is not the softest shoe bed but it is comfortable enough to wear all day, I've had flat boots with less padding and found them comfortable to wear all day(and i am actually really sensitive to heels too high and soles too hard or not supportive enough). 80% of the time i am a sz 9 shoe and 9.5 most other times. I bought this shoe in a 9 and it barely fits but it fits. Its more comfortable with a thin footliner since my toes arent directly touching the inside of the shoe but if you want to wear any kinda real sock with these shoes definately size up when buying. As far as width goes I consider it spot on medium width because I wear a medium width or occasionally a wide when the toe is pointer on a shoe and the width on this shoe is perfect for me. This was one of the few oxfords I have seen that dont look made for an older lady and dont make my feet look bigger or wider. I dont know if a teen would go for this shoe (maybe in the blue) but as a 24 year old the style doesnt look out of place on me."

A Frank Lloyd Wright-designed house that the architect called his "little gem" opens to the public as a museum on June 6 in Rockford, Ill. The Usonian house is the only building that Wright designed for a person with a physical disability and is one that the architect considered one of the greatest designs in his career. The grand opening coincides with what would have been Wright's 147th birthday on June 8.
Wright designed the house for Kenneth and Phyllis Laurent, who lived in it from 1952 until it was acquired by a private foundation in 2012. Ken, a World War II veteran, was paralyzed due to complications from spinal surgery and was confined to a wheelchair. Preparing for Ken's release from the hospital, the couple looked for a wheelchair-accessible house, but had no success in their search.
After reading an article featuring Wright's Pope-Leighey House (formerly the Loren Pope Residence) in Falls Church, Va., in a 1946 issue of House Beautiful magazine, Phyllis told her husband that she had found an architect to design their house. Ken wrote a letter to Wright describing his needs, asking the famed architect if he was interested and whether or not he could stick to a budget. Wright responded, "Dear Laurent: We are interested but don't guarantee costs. Who knows what they are today - ?"
The Laurents signed a contract with Wright in 1949 and for the next two years, "Ken kept sending Wright letters, growing impatient that Wright had not yet designed the house. Wright kept responding that Ken should remain patient that he would be pleased with the outcome," says Jerry Heinzeroth, a friend of the couple and president of the Laurent House Foundation Board, the organization that formed to buy the house. "Finally Ken wrote that he had been confined to a hospital for five years and needed his house."
Even though Wright left the couple waiting for two years, the architect worked quickly once he started: "According to Ken, one evening Wright asked his apprentice to put paper onto his drafting board. The apprentice left for two hours and when he came back, the floor plan and the drawing were done," Heinzeroth says. "Ken said that all that time, Wright was designing that house in his head and he didn't commit to paper until he had completely designed it in his mind."
Long before the days of accessibility requirements by Americans with Disabilities Act, Wright recognized the how the home's design could accommodate Ken's needs. "I think Wright took it because it was a challenge," Heinzeroth says.
Wright designed the house so that Ken could always turn his wheelchair around rather than be required to back out of a room. He could travel throughout the property without assistance and could reach doorknobs and light switches. Since Ken couldn't open normal bureau or desk drawers, Wright designed built-in cabinets with doors that fold down on hinges, so that Ken could easily reach into the cavities. In fact, all the furniture was designed at lower-than-standard heights so that "when you sat in the house, you were either at or below Ken's eye level, which made Ken feel like the tallest person in the room," Heinzeroth says. "The perspective that the house is meant to be seen from is at Ken's eye level."
In 2012, after the Laurents had passed away, the Laurent House Foundation bought the property with its original Wright-designed furniture. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places and the Foundation began work the home's restoration.
John Eifler of Chicago-based Eifler & Associates Architects, who Heinzeroth describes as the "best-known Frank Lloyd Wright restoration architect in the country," completed the repairs, which included installing a new roof, disassembling walls to rewire the house, restoring the concrete flooring, and adding an underground drainage system. The original Cherokee red flooring is currently being restored. When that process is complete, Heinzeroth estimates the total restoration of the house to cost around $400,000.
"The building is unique in that it has been continually occupied by the original owners, and contains not only furnishings designed by the architect, but many personal items of the owners," Eifler said in a press release. "In other words, it is a complete work of art."
After the grand opening next month, the museum will be open for tours on the first and last weekends of the month and by appointment for group tours.

A cargo plane?! Really??! I quit.
Your haunt actually contains a section where you put your guests through a simulated plane crash?! How are you not on the Top 13 list?! Kudos on your awesome plane!
Thanks for the comments guys. This was our first hydraulic effect we ever attempted. It was a lot of fun to see people scream once it started to tilt. We seen more than one group exit the plane with big wet spots! It was really freaking people out that are afraid of flying.
We have been in the top 13 list before, it's much appreciated when it happens.

On March 8 Jared Ward, seventh grader from Albert R. Lyman Middle School in San Juan District, made a repeat as top speller after a competitive 30 rounds in the annual Region Spelling Bee. Ward prepared for this Bee since last year's title by studying thousands of words and hopes to come back next year for a three-peat with a year's hard work and study.
Ward started the first round spelling llama, breezed through words like fandango, cauliflower, innate, cantata, caucus, fennel, intractable, barrage, malaria, matriarch, Argentine, vigilante, pochismo, salmonella, umlaut, homogeneous, philanthropy, cravat, insidious, flamboyant, oratorio, poltergeist, tapestry, pumpernickel, libretto, and rhinoceros, and topped Nathalie Reay by correctly spelling fibula. According to the rules of the competition Ward then was required to spell a championship word, ciliary, to clinch first place.
The Bee brought together spellers from Carbon, Emery, Grand, San Juan districts plus Pinnacle Canyon Academy. The sixth round thinned the original field of 15 to five excellent spellers who went six more rounds without a mistake. Round 15 then narrowed the competition to two spellers who went head to head until Jared finally bested Nathalie in the 29th round and earned his title in round 30 with the championship word.
Nathalie Reay an eighth grader from Monticello High School took second place. Third place went to Kevin Park from Helen M. Knight (HMK) school in Grand County who competed against his twin brother who had beaten him in the District Bee.
Sponsored by the Southeast Education Service Center, this year's Region Bee was held at Green River High. The center thanks Larry Davis, Principal of Emery High, who pronounced the Bee words and Theresa Wilson and Johnna Boyack who served as judges. The Region Bee is a preliminary competition in the Scripps National Spelling Bee held during Bee Week 2012, May 27-June 1 in Washington D.C.
As first place speller, Ward receives an all-expense paid trip for two to Maryland and Washington D.C. to compete in the National Bee. He also was awarded a $50 Louis Sugarman Award and Webster's Third New International Dictionary. First, second and third place spellers received a year's subscription to Encyclopedia Britannica Online. In addition, second and third place winners received a $20 Amazon Gift certificate.
The top three district spellers in grades fourth through eighth from Carbon, Emery, Grand and San Juan School districts as well as Pinnacle Canyon Academy advanced to the Region Bee from bees held in their local schools earlier this year.
Grand spellers came from HMK: Teddy and Kevin Park fifth graders, and Cody Gatlin a sixth grader.
Emery District sent Tyrell Shumway eighth grader from Green River High, and Riata Christiansen sixth grade and Aubree Justice fifth grade from Ferron Elementary.
Competing from Carbon District were Aubrey Fausett-fifth, Ceairrah Warner-fifth, and James Bryner-fourth all from Creekview.
San Juan District spellers included Jared Ward-seventh and Noah Kemner-seventh from Albert R. Lyman Middle School, and Nathalie, eighth, Monticello High School.
Pinnacle Academy participants were Jared Brandt-sixth, Macy Morrill-seventh and Isaac Finley-seventh.
The Scripps Bee is the nation's largest and longest-running educational promotion, administered on a not-for-profit basis by The E.W. Scripps Company and sponsors in the United States, American Samoa, Canada, China, Europe, Ghana, Guam, Jamaica, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, South Korea, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The Bee's purpose is to help students improve their spelling, increase their vocabularies, learn concepts, and develop correct English usage that will help them all of their lives.
The Louisville Courier-Journal started the event with nine contestants in 1925. In 1941 Scripps assumed sponsorship of the program. The bee was suspended during the World War II years of 1943, 1944, and 1945. Co-champions were declared in 1950, 1957, and 1962. Five of the six most recent national champions were public school students. This year 71 spellers have competed in Washington, D.C. before, including three, four-year repeaters.
Emery speller Christiansen went out on the word macaroni. Shumway spelled karma and Justice spelled interrupt in the first round. Justice spelled embargo, character and went out on the word inferno. Shumway spelled lucid, dynamic, and went out on the word diagnosis.

We're using ground beef in this recipe instead of the usual steak found in fajitas so the lasagna will be easier to cut. When we tested this recipe using slices of steak, we found that cutting the lasagna into serving pieces was difficult.
No-boil lasagna noodles are so convenient to have on hand. Most large grocery stores now carry boxes of them right next to the regular lasagna noodles and other pastas.

Russell Crowe was photographed on a bike ride yesterday in Sydney. He's been confirmed to play Noah in Darren Aronofsky's epic bible movie. Emma Watson is currently negotiating for a role in the film to play girlfriend to one of Noah's sons. Here's Emma arriving for a flight at JFK today.
Anyway, as you may have guessed, all this was just an excuse, yet again, to talk about Les Miserables. Crowe is Javert. We haven't addressed this yet...
Russell Crowe singing Stars? Can you hear him singing Stars?
"This I swear by the stars!"
I watch this trailer once a day, at least. How will I actually make it through the movie?

To be published as a Chapter in "Florence Workshop on The Rule of Law," edited by Neil Walker and Gianluigi Palombella, Hart Publishing Company, forthcoming 2008.
This paper provides a brief overview of core aspects of the rule of law. It is by no means exhaustive on the subject and does not resolve any of the hard questions. Rather, it is a pragmatic guide to the basic issues, oriented to the circumstances and concerns of societies that are working to develop the rule of law (although the discussion applies broadly to all societies and legal systems). The topics covered are: Definition, Functions, Benefits, Elements. Several key points are made about each subject, followed by comments on limitations or concerns. The overview closes with a few reasons to be wary of the rule of law.
This paper should be useful for non-theorists interested in learning about the rule of law, and may serve as supplemental reading material for classes on government or on law and development.

Pardew wants to re-sign Carroll
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has admitted he would still like to re-sign England striker Andy Carroll.

9. Andy Carroll
|12 (4)
The Magpies launched an audacious cut-price bid to recapture the 23-year-old, who they sold to Liverpool for £35million in January 2011, when it became obvious he had little future at Liverpool under new manager Brendan Rodgers this summer.
However, the Merseysiders opted instead to loan the player to West Ham, with whom he will return to St James' Park on Sunday.
But as he prepared to welcome the 6'3" striker and midfielder Kevin Nolan back to Tyneside, Pardew revealed he had not given up hope of clinching a permanent deal for the former.
He told BBC Sport: "He's a Liverpool player and not wanted so at some point he's going to move permanently.
"I'd like to think we'll be in the mix for that."
Indeed, Pardew revealed he would happily take both men back if the financial side was right.
He said: "Big Andy hopefully one day will want to come back and certainly I'd like to have them both in my squad now because we would be stronger for it.
"But obviously finances restrict me from doing that."
Pardew had earlier admitted Carroll's "astronomical" fee had paved the way for the club's recent success.
There was fury in the city when, despite the manager's repeated assertions to the contrary, Carroll was allowed to swap the north east for Anfield.
The powerful frontman is currently attempting to rebuild his reputation under former Newcastle manager Sam Allardyce, but Pardew believes the proceeds of the initial switch were central to what has been achieved since.
He said: "The position we are in, if I'm honest, is because we used the money from Andy's sale well.
"He was a brilliant player for us, but the fee was astronomical. We have used it well and we owe a great debt to him.
"It's nice to see Kevin come back. He did a super job here. Whatever he was asked to do, he conducted himself well. And he gets a goal. He has proven that at any level, he will get a goal.
"I'm looking forward to seeing them both and I enjoyed working with them.
"There will be a lot on the game. Kevin will be determined to get a result, as will Andy and the manager coming back."
The likes of Yohan Cabaye, Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse have been recruited since Carroll and 30-year-old Nolan left the club and while Pardew is well aware of the pair's individual talents, he has no complaints over his lot after guiding the club to a fifth-placed finish in the Barclays Premier League last season and back into Europe.
He said: "Both of those players would be good additions to this squad, but players have to move on for the sake of the team. That's the Andy Carroll one.
"Kevin was a bit different, he wanted a long contract we wouldn't commit to, but he got one at West Ham.
"He deserves it because he is a great player, but the board didn't think the long contract for Kevin was something he would get here."
Having registered their interest in Carroll during the summer, Pardew at one point believed there was a chance the Magpies would get him.
He said: "Yes, I thought there was a possibility of it.
"We were in there because he brings something different to the table to what we have got and we could probably do with another striker.
"We were right in there, but unfortunately we weren't able to get it done at board level."

Nowadays a nice relaxed, yet with a powered bigger kite gets me going.
Those 30+ just became stress and hoping not to get injured.
Happy to have that left behind me without serious injuries.
But great if others enjoy it! Have fun

The albatross has the largest wingspan of any bird on the planet. They soar around the ship, rising and swooping on the wind that buffets us. Albatrosses spend most of their lives on the ocean. Their only time on land is used to rear the next Albatross generation. To support their young, male and female albatrosses (they mate for life) will take turns and fly out over the sea for up to two weeks, gathering food. During this time they cover thousands of kilometres and never touch land.
They are mystical birds and are said to carry the souls of sailors on their wings. For hundreds of years, there was a taboo against killing them. Now they fall victim by the thousands to the Antarctic toothfish industry.
Toothfish is a highly prized commodity and several countries take them using long lines of hooks baited with squid, the favoured food of the Albatross. The lines can stretch 10 kilometres with a hook every 20 metres. The birds dive into the water to try to seize the bait squid as the lines are rolled out from the trawler. This "by-catch" has caused the Albatross populations to crash. There are simple solutions to the problem, like running bait lines out through a 10-metre metal tube that would hide the squid from the sharp eyes of the birds. But little is being done about the problem.
The danger in which the Albatross live, the product of the industrialization of the Antarctic fishery, is a sharp contrast to the freedom and grace one sees as they soar around the ship, wings locked in place. Up close they manage to be large and sleek, a marvel of natural design and adaptation to this harsh environment.
The Drake is a rite of passage. All day we have been rolling as the winds picked up speed. "It's an angry sea," said one staff member as he braced against the ship's rail, camera and telephoto lens pointed towards a soaring Albatross.
This morning began with sunshine and the ship rocking gently as we moved into the passage. The wind rose quickly and we have been in the swell all day. At one moment the window shows sky and water, then water, then water and sky, and then sky. It's quite a roll. One minute you are standing, stable, the next you are lurching across the cabin trying to recapture your balance. We will all get sea legs in the next couple of days. It's a rite of passage.
Just like the sea sickness which now afflicts a portion of the staff and students, even some who have made this crossing before.
"Sometimes to get there, you have to pay a bit of a price," explained expedition leader Geoff Green. Antarctica takes work. "You can't just turn a key and you get there."
However we are anticipating being there. According to the charts and weather reports (high winds continuing with accompanying ocean swell), we should arrive at King George Island, in the South Shetlands archipelago off the Antarctic coast sometime late tomorrow. We will round the northeast portion of the chain and head for a small volcanic outcrop called Penguin Island. If there's time, we'll get out into the zodiacs and land. After that, we head towards the great Western Antarctic Peninsula and "ice berg alley".
Sometime tonight we will cross the Antarctic Convergence, also known as the Polar Front, the dividing line between the warmer northern waters and colder southern waters. The water and air temperature will drop when we cross this point, which is possible to see encircling the continent through satellite images.
There won't be a bump when we hit the convergence, but there might be a roll. Or two.

Smith: Kennedy hoping for another season in baseball
NEWPORT COAST – Adam Kennedy joined other former Angels at the Pelican Hill Golf Club this past Wednesday for the Angels Baseball Foundation Golf Classic.
But unlike the other team alumni who regularly return for this annual charity fundraiser, first-timer Kennedy hasn't retired. He isn't ready to trade in his bat and glove for a driver and golf shoes.
He doesn't even own a set of golf clubs, so he rented a loaded bag of tools and strapped it into Cart 15. And his white Nike golf shoes looked fresh out of the box.
"These?" Kennedy said, showing off the mint-condition soles with rubber cleats. "I bought them this morning in the pro shop here."
Kennedy, 36, who'll forever have a place in Angels' history as the three-homer hero of Game 5 of the 2002 ALCS and core member of the 2002 World Series champion team, wants to keep playing.
Baseball. Not golf.
"My golf game is non-existent," he said with a bit of pride. "I'm terrible at it. I don't enjoy it. It's all downhill for me as soon as I get on the course. It's not fun for me."
Mostly because he hasn't willingly retired from baseball, his sole competitive outlet.
"Hopefully I can still get to play," said Kennedy, who spent this past season, his 14th in the majors, with the Dodgers.
He saw action in 86 games, pinch hitting and making 39 spot starts at second base, 16 at first and one in left field. He batted .262, with eight doubles, two home runs and 16 RBI, before straining his right groin and finishing the season on the disabled list.
A free agent again, he awaits offers and opportunities while working out – and, on this morning, golfing with a foursome that paid around $6,000 to play the pristine private country club links with an Angel.
With Kennedy, an Angel for seven seasons (2000-06), the foursome gets a journeyman utility player and former St. Louis Cardinal (1999, 2007-08), Tampa Bay minor leaguer (2009), Oakland A (2009), Washington National (2010), Seattle Mariner (2011) and Dodger (2012).
"I've tried to take the positives from all the experiences, even some of the bad ones because you learn lessons," said Kennedy, a .272 career batter. "I've taken memories from all the teams. It has been a fun ride."
His 2002 season with the Angels was his finest. He hit a career-best .312 with 32 doubles, seven home runs, 52 RBI and 17 stolen bases as the Angels everyday second baseman.
"He was a grinder who came to play every day," said former Angel Tim Salmon, who was Kennedy's teammate from 2000 to 2006. "Everyone on that 2002 team had that mentality, being fun and loose in the clubhouse but becoming so competitive and intense once you got between the lines."
As part of a 10th anniversary celebration, the Angels inducted their 2002 World Series champion team into the Angels Hall of Fame on Aug. 18. Twenty-seven players attended the pre-game ceremony but not Kennedy, who was in Atlanta, on the bench for the Dodgers in that night's victory over the Braves.
"It was very clear that some guys were missing because most everyone was there," Salmon said. "We knew Adam was playing."
Kennedy's wife, Lyndi, and their two sons, ages 13 and 10, watched ceremony from the Angel Stadium pressbox and saw the video replays of Kennedy's historic home runs that made his the 2002 ALCS MVP.
"The older they get, the more interested they are in the World Series," said Kennedy about his boys' interest in their father's best baseball moments. "Their friends tend to bring it up, not them."
Because Kennedy hasn't quit playing baseball and stopped to look back too long.
He has stayed in touch with closer Troy Percival, reliever Brendan Donnelly and outfielder Darin Erstad from that 2002 team. He has packed away memorabilia from that magical season but hasn't taken the time to make a brag room in his Anaheim Hills home.
"In sports, it's hard to live on what you did yesterday when you're still trying to play today," he said. "There's always somebody new coming, pushing you to be out there and improve. It's fun to have those memories but there is still more for me to do."
Maybe another season. Perhaps another team, another city. Just one more chance at another World Series.
"The more you play, the more you appreciate it (winning the World Series) because you realize it doesn't come around that often," said Kennedy, walking over to reunite with retired former Angels World Champions Percival and Garret Anderson near the driving range.
"You gonna play for the Angels again?" former Angels pitcher Shigetoshi Hasegawa asked Kennedy with a wave and a laugh.
"Hopefully, somewhere," Kennedy said, smiling.
Somewhere without a 3-iron.

It's EverQuest Day today at MMORPG.com and we have a pair of features that should bring a starry tear of remembrance to our readers' eyes. In this first feature, we take a look at how the classic game came to be. It's a great historical piece that you'll enjoy. Read on and remember!
When I did finally get to play EverQuest, it was as if someone had brought to life the essence of fantasy; like a portal into another realm had opened, you could find yourself living, breathing, and adventuring in a virtual world of wonderment. EverQuest defined the genre when it launched, and yet its beginnings were haphazard rather than masterful - a charmed mix of plucky newcomers and unaware bravery. Now more than ten years since its release, and with another batch of inspired-MMOs about to hit the market in 2012, MMORPG.com is looking back at the creation of EverQuest, and a landmark moment of the online world.

I still have to see another MMORPG creating so many memorable moments, at least I can tell for myself. Was a different time and a different approach to gaming.
I can still enjoy today's modern MMOs, but nothing could even come close to what EQ was for me personally. I am aware that I am sort of glorifying the past here, but well...
There should be no doubt that this game was the reference title of its time.
I agree that M59 and UO came first, and that they set the groundwork... but the reality is that EQ is the game that launched the industry. Just like Doom was the game that launched the FPS genre (despite other games coming first), EQ launched the MMORPG genre. It is the game that really changed everything, as it put the pieces together for a graphical 3d enviornment and online world.
I remember those days fondly. There was a lot of excitment in both the game, as well as in the gaming industry. Everyone realized that something had changed, and that we were seeing something new and innovative. You dont get that in todays games. They lack the excitement (but have plenty of hype).
Hmm ... I know it's EQ day at MMORPG now ...
but almost sad - how in the shadow of EQ people forget Turbines Asheron's Call, that came out the same year (1999) and IMO in many ways was superior to EQ (world w/o zoning, etc.)

Thing is, asheron's call and everquest had practically NOTHING in common. Everquest as it was originally released was a class based game where it took quite a long time to take down your average monster, zoned, set loot tables, multiple races, everything IDed for you, quests all over, text entry for quests. Harsh death system with lost corpses after a matter of minutes(I think it was 5 minutes per level back then). Summed generic armor class number.
Asherons call had fast paced combat, and was far more twitchy, no world zones but did have portals, random loot and loot tables, just humans, Levels were cosmetic and there were no actual classes. Everything had to be IDed, spells that had to be learned via trial and error and educated guesses, few quests with no text entry. No trade system initially. Monsters that levelled when you died. Vitae death system with a couple of death item drops. Hit locations and resistances for every item slot -- 0 modifier for fire damage on boots + fire gromnie = one shot.
Never in the history of MMOs were the two most popular games more different from each other.
Great read, I enjoy hearing the "making of" stories like this for my beloved games of yesteryear. +1
"They essentially want to say 'Correlation proves Causation' when it's just not true." - Sovrath
I enjoy writing them : )
As someone who had to build a new computer to play, I was always entranced by EQ. I think the biggest evolution over the prior MUDs and MUSHs was the dimensionality to the 'rooms'. MUDs had an area, and you were in that area and experienced anything (and everything) that happened in that area. It felt confined, like little boxes. EQ changed this. The tiny box-like areas became huge places to roam. East Karana was huge, with dozens of places to hunt, and supporting 40-50 people at a time. It was easy to get pick-up groups, and people even developed favorite places to play within a single area. The bandit camps, the stone pile camp, the ogre camps (for those rare higher levels, and a genera hazard to navigation). The giant spiders, bears and lions roaming the vast farmlands, just looking for a stray adventurer to eat, only to find themselves lured back to a motley group of friends ready to jump the poor critter.
Congratulations to the author of this article, too. Adam Tingle's historical look at the development of EQ was easily the most informative and interesting article I have read on MMORPG.com in some while. The history of the development process was fascinating. I only wish there were some financial information to help illustrate the cost of building an MMORPG, even a dozen years ago. MMORPG needs more articles of this caliber.
Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
Hopefully this is this start of many "retrospective" articles for the site. In researching this article, the only financial info I could gleam was that the budget of EverQuest was fairly small, even when development ramped up into the later stages. The biggest cost by all acounts was the technology for hosting the game. In comparison to the 100+ team that worked on a $100 million dollar project that is Old Republic, it seems strange that just ten years ago 10 people managed put the foundations into place with a percent of the cash.
Trains in Blackburrow...dying at the bottom of the sea, EverQuest wasn't a game it was a way of life. No MMO has ever come close to it - great article, very interesting stuff.
EQ was my childhood frame age 11 to 15. I started in 2001 and loved every moment. Long live this game.

Any person who expresses rage and loathing for an MMO is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae.
Great article
I guess EQ vs Ultima Online is where the whole themepark vs sandbox argument can be traced to. Except EQ seemed to be a very harsh themepark. If I had Internet that didn't cost and arm and a leg to use I might've played EQ but the technology just wasnt there for me.
Retrospective views of EQ tend to be through rose-colored glasses. The game had some good points, but also horrific core design problems. The problems were more likely from lack of experience, as MMORPG's were just getting started at the time. Current game designers repeating the same mistakes though, they don't really have an excuse.
While EQ definitely had some serious flaws such as massive downtime, content being designed around 3 of something like 15 classes (warrior, cleric, enchanter), too many players fighting over limited resources (especially in classic), horrendous class balancing, etc, I think what truly made the game great was that it was simple, yet challenging and rewarding at the same time. The classes had a very limited number of spells and abilities to work with when compared to modern games where you need multiple hotbars to load all your abilities. Combat was much more slow paced which allowed for (gasp) actual socializing while playing. Bosses didn't require memorizing a two page script to beat. But at the same time, one simple mistake like someone not using /assist tank properly could cause for major problems. Quests were limited in number but nearly all were meaningful, from the JBoots to classs quest armor to eventually epic quests.
To keep it short:
Original EQ = 4TW!

Appreciation of it's success aside, the EQ model has been a scourge on mmo gaming that still hurts the genre through WoW and now SWTOR, with almost every other major release following that mold over AC, SWG, UO, CoH, and other much more creative and less treadmilly mmo's.
Super, super article.
I personally liked the sentence, "it was challenging, frustrating, but in the end the camaraderie and team-work made for the most fun I've had playing online games"
I agree. Making things hard isn't a bad thing. It keeps you interested, challenged, and promotes teamwork. Ultimately it keeps you as a long time subscriber. Today's MMO's seem to have the exact opposite gameplan, which is why in my opinion subscription retention is so poor.
I saw a quote somewhere on these forums which said something like...
"developers used to make good games and made money as a result, now they try to make money and make games as a result"
It went something like that anyway, but very appropriate to how things have become.

Gnoooooooooll Train! I started and was trampled by many in BB. Simple things in EQ made it more realistic and memorable. Real Death penalties, forced grouping (some can argue against it, but does create community), travel times (and danger/fear/wonder of travelling in new zones or dangerous areas-aggroing all kinds of baddies), at night it was really dark (had to have a torch or light source or you couldn't see more than a few feet around you-causing you to get lost or run into mobs), had to have food/water when out adventuring or stats/hp would lower, and many other things that make the world more real and people have to rely on each other to survive and thrive.
I'm not saying it was all perfect-it did have it's annoying flaws, but for it's time it was an incredible experience and very immersive. And addictive-earning the nickname EverCrack.

Most of the people that played EQ were adults. It was not an easy game like WoW. It took a lot of patience, which you might not have had.
long live everquest
Best memory of all was when I finally was able to solo dragons in Velious with my shaman. Seeing massive creatures die to my reckoning back in 2000 was amazing!

Nothing about EQ "hurt" the genre. It was one of several that came out at the same time with different philosophies. It became the most popular because people liked it's design better than the others. It only "hurts" those that like a different design that's not as popular. Blame the developers and companies for rushing out buggy, dumbed-down games trying to cash in on the WoW money train. Don't blame EQ for doing something original and innovative for it's time. And bringing recognition and popularity to the genre.
I remember EQ fondly, hell it pretty much was the cause of me not graduating from college. I was lucky enough to get into a very early beta stage where I frequently grouped and went on corpse runs with the developers. I gave a lot of feedback as did a lot of the other early beta testers and feel we helped to shape the game that others got to play as at that time as the developers truly listened to what we had to say.
EQ was a different type of game then the MMO"s these days, and while it wasn't exactly an easier or harder game then they are now, it for sure wasn't dumbed down like they are now. EQ gave the players a feel of adenture that you just don't get today. Now adays players are just names, there isn't a community feel to the game. Back then you knew pretty much every one on your server within 5-6 lvls above or below you and if you were one of the higher lvl players then it was a good chance that even the lower level players knew of you and your exploits. I can't image getting a /w from some one 20 levels lower then you in SWOTR asking if you could help with a corpse run because some one didn't want to loose that sword they'd just got. It just brought the whole game community together like no other MMO has since, although AC came close.
I've enjoyed many games since I stopped playing EQ, but I haven't lived any games since then. I know it sad and nerdy, but at those times it almost felt like you were in the moment with the players in your group as you spent 18 hrs straight camping for a pair of JM Boots. Or as you tried to go deeper into Cazic Thule and 1 bad pull had your whole team running for the zone and shouting for the whole zone to head there as well.
Biggest pay off of the game for me was being on the very first Dragon kill with Aradune and the Dev's didn't think we'd be able to kill yet so they didn't have any loot on it!
Oh classic eq.... later!

Comments about Burpy Bib - Cotton Muslin - Jungle Jam - 2 Pk:
I wish I would've bought these sooner! My son is 3.5 months old, he never stops moving and he tends to spit up. The regular bibs are great and all but when I'm burping him he likes to turn and look everywhere and ends up spitting up on his shoulder bc his head was turned. These bibs are great bc they are huge and I don't have to worry about the constant changing of his clothes and the massive amounts of laundry I'm always doing anymore!

Comments about Burpy Bib - Cotton Muslin - Mod About Baby - 2 Pk:
Considering the amount of money new parents have to spend, there is nothing better than items the serve multiple purposes - this is one of them! I have at least a dozen of these (most of them were gifts and then I purchased additional ones). It's a bib AND a burp cloth - in a pinch I've used it as a little blanket when my daughter was a newborn! Now that my daughter seems to be getting ready to cut a tooth, it catches all the drool and she likes to chew on it. Wonderful, must have item!

If money is no object, these are great bibs/burp clothes. Like so many Aden & Anais products, these do double-duty and look good while doing it. A great shower gift!

Comments about Burpy Bib - Cotton Muslin - Mod About Baby - 2 Pk:
Love that I can use this as a burp cloth or a bib. It saves my new little baby from getting spit up all over his outfit. They absorb well & wash great. I need to order a few more!

Comments about Burpy Bib - Cotton Muslin - Star Light - 2 Pk:
My second baby is drooly compare to my first one so I ordered these bibs yesterday. I unpacked and washed and put one on my 4months old girl.
It is perfect because not like other bibs, this covers the shoulder area where I always find very wet. So far, I really like it. I feel good that it's 100% soft cotton too when I see her nibbling on it knowing no chemicals are going into her body.
Best Uses
Comments about Burpy Bib - Cotton Muslin - Star Light - 2 Pk:
I love that these can be used as bibs and burp cloths. They are much larger than most bibs and much more absorbant. I never used bibs with my first child but my 5 month old is the spitup queen and these are awesome! most bibs just protect the front of the babys clothing but these wrap around because as we all know babies don't always just spitup on the front of their shirts.

PD. On a recent trip to Mesa, Arizona, I found myself at the Natural History Museum. Most of the museum is in the old city hall building where one exhibit was the territorial jail, an intimidating series of metal prison cells. A sign hanging on the wall read that Carl Hayden was once sheriff of Maricopa County from 1907-1912. Wait…I know that name as my political history brain began to click. After some quick digging, I was impressed by the fact that Hayden and Daniel Inouye of Hawaii were the only 20th century politicians who saw their territory become a state, became their state's first Representative in the House, and served long terms in Congress. Hayden's state-wide political career took off, in part, because he was sheriff. He got to know the law enforcement and court officials who would help him win a seat in the House of Representatives in 1912. Hayden then served as Senator from 1927 until his retirement in 1969 – 56 consecutive years. It is unusual to have such longevity, but also to experience the vast changes in the country while serving in Congress. When he left the sheriff's office, Maricopa County was a quiet farming community. By the time he departed the Senate, Hayden left a considerable legacy, mainly from the federal highway system and the Central Arizona Project that brought water to Arizona from the Colorado River, thus creating modern Arizona as we know it. Both of these issues are back in the headlines today as the state's population nearly doubled in the last two decades, now at over 6 million people. Traffic congestion and air pollution remain a concern, especially in the state's population center, Maricopa County. Furthermore, Arizona could face water shortages due to climate change and growing demand. In our Presidential Recordings series at the Miller Center, we hear a couple of interactions between Senator Hayden and President Lyndon Johnson in 1964. This was a crucial year as Johnson was facing Arizona's junior senator, Barry Goldwater, in the 1964 presidential election. In one conversation, Johnson asked Hayden for help in Arizona, but Goldwater won the state anyway. However, Goldwater managed to win only five other states in the wake of Johnson's landslide. In another phone conversation, we hear Johnson's admiration for Hayden when he states: If we just had one man like you and Sam Rayburn, we would have a whole lot better country. Listen to additional similar phone conversations from 1964 in our Presidential Recordings Program archive. The Miller Center also has Hayden's 1968 interview from Lyndon Johnson's Oral History. I close with one thought: Hayden said one reason he wanted to retire was "that contemporary events need contemporary men." Do you agree with this sentiment, or is there something to be said for having a long-serving legislator in congress who understands his or her state's needs and can navigate the D.C. beltway, especially in the wake of so many recent retirements?

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – Murphy Holloway says he's been down this road before. He just hopes this time he can get by the barrier at the end.
With wins over Auburn and Texas A&M, Ole Miss has won back-to-back SEC games for the first time since the final days of their six-game win streak at the start of conference play.
Since that hot start five losses over a seven-game span dropped the Rebels from looking like an NCAA tournament lock to familiar territory – having to string together wins at the end of the season to stay in the conversation.
"I think we've done that almost every year. I'm glad we weren't at 4-7 trying to do it. We started 6-0 and had a slump. I'm glad we weren't 4-7 and trying to make a run," Holloway said.
The Rebels (21-7, 10-5 SEC) will be an overwhelming favorite to extend their win streak to three games Saturday when they face struggling rival Mississippi State.
The widely held belief is that Ole Miss needs to finish 13-5 in a weakened SEC to have a real shot at its first NCAA at-large bid since 2002.
After MSU, the Rebels have a quick turnaround with a Tuesday night home game against Alabama, then close the SEC regular season at LSU the following Saturday.
In beating the Aggies 82-73 Wednesday night, Ole Miss led by 18 points with 8 minutes, 34 seconds to play and kept A&M's Elston Turner from lighting it up at the end.
Turner finished 25 points, 12 fewer than he had when Ole Miss lost by a bucket in College Station.
Ole Miss' best players had average nights – or less than that – in the first meeting, but Marshall Henderson, Jarvis Summers and Holloway picked up the pace in the rematch.
That's especially true for Summers, who was held to two points on the road but had 15 at home.
"We're just tired of being that old Ole Miss team. It starts with me. I have to be more of a leader out there on the court and just bring my guys together. We've got to just stay focused," Summers said.
Staying healthy would help too. The Rebels lost another post player when freshman Anthony Perez went down with a knee injury. His status for the remainder of the season is unclear.
"Ever since I've been here we've lost people. We're going to be all right," Holloway said. "I feel like we have a better team. I think we're going to be all right."

Hepatitis C Initiative
The Special Projects of National Significance Program's Hepatitis C Treatment Expansion Initiative will support organizations implementing effective, focused interventions designed to increase access to and completion of Hepatitis C (HCV) treatment for HIV-positive patients. About one quarter of HIV-infected persons in the U.S. are also infected with HCV. Hepatitis C affects about 3.2 million people in the United States, and is responsible for approximately 17,000 deaths each year. This initiative will evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions to deliver HCV treatment among HIV-positive populations, and share best practice models with Ryan White grantees and other HIV medical providers to improve access and quality of Ryan White services for HIV patients.
