Part of this is reading about how f'in amazing it is, the greatest mmo evar, anyone with any past and modern mmo experience knows it's the novelty of the starting zones talking and in a few months these people will be off to a new shinny, and yes i'm 100% guilty of this too.

Frankly I think it is time for game devs to start re-evaluating who truly deserves to be considered press. I think Angry Joe really states the real issue here. The ENTITLED mentality. Basically he states... If ESO was a FREE game with this awesome engine, fantastic combat, superior graphics, and huge huge world, this would be the BEST game EVER!! But because it's not FREE it sucks.... This whole entitled mentality that has become so prevalent really pisses me off. ESO is costing them a rather sizable investment, to provide a quality staff, and NOT to pink slip the whole dev team right after launch like EVERY F2P game has done costs money. If you do not like it then go play one of the 100's of F2P games that you are bored with in two weeks, or raising hell because they have no support staff and you have to wait weeks to get an email answered. Tons of us are excited over ESO and even more excited to be getting back to a sub based model so we do not have to put up with gold spammers, botters, hackers, chat spamming idiots, and entitled kiddies.
Yep. Considered press. What they are reviewing the game against.
And what they are reviewing the game against is a subscription based mmo. And the bulk of them are coming up with - I wouldn't call them bad reviews but simply so-so reviews. As you say Angry Joe said it would be great as a F2P game.
So basically AJs problem - and maybe some of the other reviewers as well - is the payment method. Now you talk about an entitled mentality. Well I think people should pay for games but they should also get what they pay for.
Zenimax - like lots of devs before them - are saying the sub is to provide new content. Yet it won't work out that way. The sub will hurt initial sales big time - no one expects TESO to sell tens of millions. Yet because of the investment it probably needs to sell high millions at least and then more still to make a profit.
Pick your own numbers. If the game cost $150M and they make $30 from every sale that means they need 5M sales just to recover the cost. Ouch. Yes the base game costs c. $60 but in most countries 20% of that is tax and then there are retail or online costs e.g. Amazon's share, Visa / Paypal etc. Pick your own numbers but they need big sales. And a sub hurts sales.
And when it doesn't sell 5M+ - because of the sub - what happens? Pink slips as you say. Your posts are probably helping to doom the long term future of the game. It will survive for sure with a loyal fanbase but not as it should.
The alternative. Doesn't have to be F2P. B2P + regular DLC. And if they don't have the DLC drops on day 1 reduce the size of the base game. cut 50% and simply sell a huge game rather than a gigantic one; sell the rest as 4 or 5 DLC drops at $15 or whatever. Doubles the price of the game in essence!
The history of all recent sub-based launches - going back years now - have ended with devs being moved. Maybe to a different game or given a pink slip.
And if it was B2P I think the reviews would be much more positive. And Skyrim like sales would be possible.
Well let me say "Suspicious" of the negative reviews? It's people being honest for once. Not like the IGN-paid off reviewers. I, for instance, did not particulary especially enjoy the ESO Beta really, I don't think it really brought anything new or interesting to the table and it is kind of mind-boggling to me that ESO does not have any dragons. I know it is not the right time period or whatever but still, there is a damn Dragon Night class for god sakes too. Skyrim was all about dragons... Anyways that's just a gripe of mine. I also think people have been saying wow, you can equip whatever you want now and can basically build whatever you want but in reality there is still equipment that is better then the next piece and it is not really a reality in that aspect. I don't think the small amount of classes is enough honestly, even with the amount of flexibility with equipment and all of that stuff. A HUGE gripe with me is the not knowing about end-game PvE content, I mean really?, a game I am going to sub to and there is no end-game raiding or really anything I've heard about it? C'mon already...
Basically I am going to sub to a game that takes hours to level to like level 10, basically getting a dumbed down Skyrim with less graphics, NO PvE end-game raiding at launch or atleast nothing that I heard about yet, PvP that sounds like something out of SWTOR (Ilum), and I don't think this will concept of Elder Scrolls Online will work because of something that "Angry Joe" referenced in his review of this game stating something like "Elder Scrolls Online is just a dumbed down Skyrim with Friends". If you want a good Elder Scrolls game with Lore and adventure play Skyrim! I just think MMO players will want to level and traditionally story is not really a huge concern in MMOs. I am definitely more of an MMORPG player then Elder Scrolls player and I know that story means something but this game is trying to make it really all about that. That concept tried to work also in SWTOR, but really didn't do a great job and the story was more then the game was worth, I hope ESO doesn't make a similar mistake here.
If you like ESO - great.
That said, it is NOT the 2nd coming of anything. It is a console game that they have a port for the PC with. The MOBS look terrible, what were they thinking? They spent so much time with the environment and it's looks but nothing looks 3D it is very unidimensional. Also, they spent tons of money on voice acting, John Cleese, Michael Gambon, etc. and nothing on the combat. The toons for the players look awful too and the way they look running, riding, etc is laughable.
If they want me to play this game, they need to make it B2P as this game has as much depth as a mud puddle.

Could be that *GASP* many of the reviewers are long-time game players, including the single player TES titles, and long-time MMO gamers, and they actually don't like what they see.
Or, the first 10-15 levels are just as boring and uninspired as the previews make them seem to be, which despite how much "better" the rest of the game MIGHT be, according to NDA breakers mind you, is a horrible, horrible design decision by Zenimax.
That's your opinion, as you've said.
As I've said, I disagree, and have a great deal of first hand evidence that many others disagree too. The game rocks ;o)
All it comes down to now is long term appeal and how much it grows.
Only had to play the Beta weekend to know the crap that game is. No review necessary.
You should try it too.
PS: Roll an archer archetype and shoot arrows while near enemies, watch the arrows go where your aim is not. Magically bending to lock to the enemies and hit them...
Love that "deep" combat.

That's kinda inaccurate too. As someone who has played through the single player titles myself, but also played MMOs such as WoW and many others, I know the difference between Single Player games and MMOs. This certainly is an elder scrolls game, but it's also an MMO. I'd say exactly as it says on the box.
I love it. Lots of other people love it. In fact the vast majority I've spoken to love it. It just seems those who don't love it are over represented on these threads.
That said I guess it's all good - It's like the Simon Cowell effect. The more talked about it is, the more people will check it out themselves. It was the same when I first heard of WoW - I saw it mentioned in a negative way on a thread. Looked into it and loved it. Stuck with it for a good few years until they destroyed it catering too heavily for the elitists. Those days are long gone though lol.
You're on to something here, and I totally agree with you.
I've been playing MMOs, every MMO I can get my gamer-addict hands on, since Everquest, Acheron's Call, and Ultima Online.
I can honestly say that I was thoroughly pleased with and immersed into ESO from the first hour of play on Friday night, during my first foray into the Beta test.
I agree that ESO much more engaging and pleasing to play than AoC, Rift, DDO, Lotro, and many other MMOs that have come out since the Everquest days.
I was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the game, and will definitely play it when it releases. I look forward to playing in all the factions, and plan to level several characters up to try out the various classes and races.
Devil bunny needs a ham, and he's pretty sure knocking you off a building will get him one.

Such a hard slap to the face they fly away across the room and into the wall behind them and leave a mark there.
So you disagree with people who don't like the game and think physical assault is what is needed to put them in place? Most of the negativity I have heard has nothing to do with WoW and everything to do with dullness in game. If they didn't want a comparison to Skyrim they shouldn't have used the IP.
For one, don't let this site or any other decide for you what to like or dislike. The few on forums who cry the loudest are also the minority and it will always be this way. The success or failure of a game isn't decided on a forum, it's decided by the majority of the folks who don't bother posting on here or any other forum.
If your wondering if you should spend your money on it? Wait for a trial or ask a friend whom you know in person and has actually played the game at length after release. These are just opinions on here, just like mine and you know what they say about opinions.
I'm not an IT Specialist, Game Developer, or Clairvoyant in real life, but like others on here, I play one on the internet.

Been on the MMO scene for a very long time, and I've seen companies like MMORPG.com and other review sites suck the **** of games that have been terrible, just because they have big names. Age of Conan, Warhammer and Guild Wars 2 being the most notable. Anyone who was an MMO veteran when these games were releasing probably remembers thinking these games would be the next WoW, or the next Jesus Christ, etc. That's what the review companies were spouting. And then you actually got to play the games... and yeah, we know the history. My point is, why is it all of a sudden a game like ESO, which I thoroughly enjoy and think is so much better than anything that has released in years, is getting such terrible reviews, while games which almost no one enjoyed - received such AWESOME reviews? What's going on? Did Zenimax not pay someone? Is this an organized plot by a competitor? I hate to be the conspiracy theory guy, but I don't understand. Or, is this just some sort of meme which has spread across the internet like wildfire, or doge? "ESO sucks, not worth $15, armor painted on, blah blah blah" (Anyone else notice the reviews all use the exact same terminology? I had never heard anyone say "armor painted on" before ESO, yet I've heard it in EVERY-SINGLE-REVIEW!) I'm a skeptic, and I think some BS is going on..
Nope! If the painted on armor was the real problem. This would be an easy fix... But its not.. But I am curious to find out the AWESOME review. Because there has not been a good game in a long long time... I think Bill Murphy did a fine review. But always goes a little to soft on the painful stuff..

haha you'd make a funny game designer. I can just imagine the response to your new game:
"Don't roll an archer. You shoot your arrows forward and people just move to the side. Seriously it's rubbish. You can't hit anything. Why bother with archers.. omg.. wtf... etc. etc... lol"

writers will say whatever they need to say to get people to read their articles or subscribe to their youtube channels.
i mean, if i took these "reviews" to heart, i would think that ESO was one of the worst mmo's ever created and i know that isn't true so something isn't right here.
Whatever garners the most hits, sells the most magazines, ect.
And essentially what they wrote about was a 1st impression. Most didnt even get to level 10, play any PvP or experience much of anything beyond an hour or two of game play.
add to the fact that damn near everyone who applied for beta got in to try it, even gave out free keys to some sites, and people can form their own opinions.
The game may suck, or may be the game your looking for. Form your own opinion. If your hesitant just wait to buy it and get some feedback from people who play for more than an hour and predict doom.

The reason why they are no longer shilling is because of FTC regulations.
Websites all over the USA are getting fined by the FTC for a lack of online disclosure, which means that you have to state that you are getting paid to give positive feedback, or make positive posts.
When shills come on here and post for their parent companies, they put mmorpg.com in a very precarious position.
That is the reason why.
A company just got fined over 300k USD for making false reviews.
I dont trust reviews positive or negative.
Btw i was negative towards the game and i didnt like it till lvl5. When the game opens it becomes much better even as a themepark. Cyrondiil is fantastic and smooth much better and immersive than gw2 WvWvW.
I dont get it . Zenimax should have scrapped this linear introduced tutorial areas at the start.
How about this, lets just wait until the game comes out + 1-2 months. So the launch won't mean crap, what will be important is who drops off after hitting the level cap AND have to decide to pony up 15 bucks for the 2nd month subscription after the first free months. Tons of people drop off then (myself included most of the time). Then further so after the 2nd month going into the 3rd when those guys who subbed for 1 months regret what they've done as they've been at the level cap for 1+ month without jack to do.
So I think the 3rd month and those guys still playing can tell us how dead it is and how much the game sucks. I'm guessing we will all ding level cap in 2-4 weeks. Anyone think you will have to play longer than 2-3 weeks to hit the level cap?
I believe that most people have been conditioned of how to play and what to expect in MMOs. Most people want to rush to the "endgame" max out their toon, and be drip feed loot.
I believe ESO is a game where you are supposed to immerse yourself into the world and that is where the game shines. A MMORPG where you can Role Play! Become a person in a loving cafted fantasy world. Not play the game a loot simulator.
I'm suspicious of threads created by forum users who's account is created after a beta weekend that saw the media pretty much blast the game.
Nothing suspicious here guys.
Maybe most people had high expectations. The same people also probably didn't go really far in the game.
My first reaction, especially to the combat, was also meh; a bit clunky, you can't really dodge (that double tap is for show), you don't really aim at mobs (auto-lock). But that game grows on you, and although animations could be better, everything else is well done. Now I'm seriously contemplating buying it.

I would assume that a company the size of bethesda and Zenimax know how to influence public opinion. Just have to wait for them to start, it's really not hard to change opinion of a game. All they have to do is put out advertising, pay all the mmo and game websites for large amounts of advertising so they instantly like your game and pay the youtube celebrities to cover the game. It's pretty industry standard but for some reason they aren't doing it, maybe they are making the mistake of spending the money on the game instead of the payoffs. Anyone that saw the reviews games like Guild wars 2 and ffxiv2 got and that played them will see how this industry works.
Guild Wars 2 is one of the best mmorpg made, so you're wrong in that statement.

Million-Whatever Marches Getting Out Of Control
Not that we have to remind you, but you should be making your preparations now to attend the August 30 "Million DJ March" in Washington, DC. One million DJs—a number equal to almost all of the DJs in Williamsburg—will "descend on Washington to celebrate decades of service to the entertainment industry." And what worthier cause could there be?
"DJs are the least compensated in the industry element...I am calling on the industry to show support of an event to unify DJs and create future economic safety for these people. The Million DJ March will be the conclusion to a long road of requests from many markets to aid in our mission of security."
Who knew that DJs were so threatened? Louis Farrakhan, who started this whole phenomenon with his Million Man March—the one that actually drew a million people—must be so proud to see what his idea has become: a bitch session for scratchmasters.
Anything less than 1,000,000 DJs will bring the cause crashing down like a pair of Technics perched on a shaky table, so register now.

After the election results indicated clearly that the Emery County residents did not want the San Rafael locked up as a national monument, so be it, but the local residents of Emery County had better step forward now with their idea of a plan and what they want, then push for it. Or they are going to end up sucking the hind tit. Any time you have the environmental groups standing on the side line watching, this brouhaha, be prepared to get hammered.
As I see it the San Rafael had only one of three possibilities. State monument, national monument of wilderness. Conservation area? Yes, you had that chance in the beginning and you nixed it.
If the four wheelers, dirt bikers, or anyone else believe they are going to keep it open for their personal playground, wake up and smell the roses. You are not. You only have two choices left. You shot one of the potentials down last Tuesday.
At the present time all the active enviro-groups here in Utah are, as I write, collecting data on the San Rafael and when they get all their ducks lined up in a row, they are going to push for putting the entire San Rafael into wilderness or endangered species habitat. You gave them that possibility in this past election.
If those hard liners of Emery County do not have a plan, you had better get one and get it started in motion NOW!!
Having fought the enviro's since October 1964 with my first letter to the editor, I know what I am writing about. I have been there, seen it, done it.
As I suspect the direction the enviro's will take, is to take a specific area, pick an endangered species and then plan the environment around it. They do this all the time and it has proven to be nearly 100 percent successful for them.
Once an area has been designated as an endangered species area, it will be closed and locked up to only hikers and in some areas they might allow a horse. When I write of endangered species, it does not always have to be an animal, it can be a plant, an insect or a bug. You name it. They will use every ploy to pull off the Endangered Species Act and lock the San Rafael up tighter than it would be under the Wilderness Act. They do not necessarily have to have the approval of your commissioners just a camouflaged possibility. Nor are they required to get congressional or presidential approval. I have seen it in action here in Washington County with the Desert Tortoise and several other so called prefabricated endangered species. And yes, they can lock up more land under the Endangered Species Act than they could have under the Wilderness Act. You have been advised and counseled in advance.

The notable gainer as 2014′s trading kicks off is last year's big loser — precious metals.
The prices of gold and silver are jumping Thursday. That's in spite of strength in the dollar, which is climbing versus most major currencies. The ICE U.S. Dollar Index ahead by 0.7% in early trading. Gold and silver lost 28% and 36%, respectively, last year.
Front-month gold futures are advancing by 1.8% to $1,223.80 while silver's contracts are leaping 3.8% to $20.11. The tone puts SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) and iShares Silver Trust (SLV) on track for strong gains. They're ahead by 1.6% and 3.4% in early trading.
Why are precious metals on the rise? One factor: The rush of year-end tax selling and portfolio reshuffling is over.
But there's also a hint of risk aversion. Stocks are lower to start 2014′s trading. The yen, yesteryear's "haven" currency, is turning in a strong performance, gaining 0.3% to trade just under 105 per dollar, even as the U.S. currency is on the rise.
Gold bull Peter Schiff, chairman of Euro Pacific Precious Metals, is undeterred after 2013. Here's an excerpt of what his firm emailed reporters this morning:

The Three Database Musketeers: MySQL, PostgreSQL and Java DB
By forsini on Jan 24, 2008
As you probably have heard already, Sun Microsystems has announced an agreement to acquire MySQL.
I have had several people asking me about my view on it and I thought I would offer it here, along with an analogy.
First of all, being part of the Database Technology Group at Sun, I'm very happy that Sun has entered into an agreement to acquire MySQL, the #1 open source relational database system.
Sun is one of the biggest open source contributors and it only made sense that eventually Sun would acquire MySQL to offer its users base various alternatives for their database needs.
Sun will now support 3 major database open source initiatives as MySQL, PostgreSQL and Apache Derby (Java DB).
As Jonathan Schwartz mentions it here in his blog, "This transaction increases our investment in open source, and in open source databases. And increases our commitment to Postgres - and the database industry broadly. The same goes for our work with Apache Derby, and our Java DB."
As far as the analogy with The Three Musketeers, I see these three databases as the database musketeers which are going to be working together, with each of them having very particular and unique capabilities that will satisfy various needs in the entreprise, such as embeddable Java store, data wharehousing, OLTP, Web 2.0, etc. Now I will let you guess who plays the role of D'Artagan and no, don't even go there with Richelieu
In reality, databases are not one size fits all and it is good to have choices and alternatives for the various applications' requirements out there. So the database musketeers's motto here won't be "One for all, all for one", but rather "No one size fits all", otherwise one could end-up with something like this (joke aside).
Anyhow, here at Sun we're very excited in having MySQL being part of the adventure.

Nail Yakupov talks about the Canada/Russia series, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, and the upcoming NHL season
Andrey Osadchenko
August 17 2012 08:15AM
OilersNation's Andrey Osadchenko caught up with Nail Yakupov after game four in the Canada/Russia challenge series; here's what the Oilers' top prospect had to say.
Andrey Osadchenko: Nail, how do you take the outcome of Canada-Russia Challenge? Do you take it as a tie or a loss?
Nail Yakupov: Well, we lost. I mean, if you look at it from the technical point of view. However, I'd say we played well, I can't complain. Maybe sometimes we lacked discipline and sometimes we were just too tired. It's okay. We still have time to get ready for the World Juniors. It's just the beginning. This is not over. Also, I'd like to thank my teammates for giving everything they had.
AO: A lot of fans seemed to look at the series as if it was just another pre-season tournament, a friendly competition and nothing else. What was your take on it as a player?
NY: These were our first games of the season. And we had to play against Canada. Just like that – right away! This is crazy! Some guys were ready for it and some weren't. Because some guys have already started their pre-season practice and some haven't. So you can't really have a strong saying about this series. You can't think about it too much and let it bother you. The World Juniors are going to be in the heat of the season. Everybody's going to be in the best shape. Then we come make conclusions. Then we'll see. I think we're going to play well.
AO: What do you think about your personal stats? I mean, you only scored 1 goal in 4 games. In your defense, though, you've proven yourself to be not a greedy sniper. It's quite unusual.
NY: I guess I just wasn't lucky enough. I tried to do what was best for my team. I didn't think too much about my stats. We won 2 games – this is what matters. How many points did I score – doesn't. I don't know. Maybe I'm not 100% ready for the season yet. I'm going to train harder.
AO: Russian journalists all agreed that in Game 3 of the series there was the best officiating.
NY: Oh, come on! Officiating was good in both Yaroslavl and Halifax. The outcome of the series is indisputable, it's fair. We don't have anybody to blame. Officiating wasn't a factor. If you lose – it's an entire team's fault. Everybody understood that on our team. We don't blame anybody. Especially the refs. We never even brought it up.
AO: There was an unpleasant moment in the series decisive overtime when Mark Scheifele put the puck in the net after the play was stopped. To say the least, this is not tolerated in the hockey world.
NY: I guess you're right. I don't know why he did it. Maybe he wanted to score really badly. I didn't pay too much attention to it. If it's okay with him, let it be (chuckles). It really is fine by me.
AO: After the end of the series you appeared on the ice with a Lokomotiv flag. Where did you get it?
NY: We began the series in Yaroslavl. I will never forget this team (pauses). I just got goosebumps. I came out with the flag so nobody would forget about Lokomotiv. The team still exists, but the guys who played on that team... They were the best. They were top players in the KHL. Fans in Halifax were okay with it. They all applauded and I appreciate it. I really do. I did it because both in Yaroslavl and Halifax we played for those guys too.
AO: What is it like to be a captain of U20 Team Russia? What will you remember after these 4 games?
NY: I will always remember these games, this awesome team, this terrific group of guys. The only emotions I have are positive. Organization in Yaroslavl and Halifax was outstanding. These games were just awesome. They had a great temp.
AO: Of course, it's difficult to foresee the future. However, you must have an understanding even if it's in the back of your head that you may not be available for the World Juniors and these games were your last games on a junior level...
NY: You know, I'm just going to keep working hard every day. If I'm going to have a chance to come for the World Juniors, I definitely will. Right now my goal is to get in the best possible shape and play. I want to move forward and have fun playing hockey. I don't want to look into the future. Certainly, every now and then I get thoughts like that. It's a difficult choice. You see, I want to play at the World Juniors. But, so help me God, I want to make it to the NHL, I want to make the team and I want everything to work in my favor.
AO: Do you know about the ruckus your comments about the dryer made?
NY: (laughs) I don't think it was that big of a deal. I think, the truth about it was going to come out eventually. Besides, I didn't want to offend anybody. I said it as a joke. But then again on the next day all of our clothes were dried (smiles). It was wonderful to play in Halifax. Thank you.
AO: What would you say was the most memorable moment for you in this series?
NY: Our victories. These were the most memorable moments for me. Because these were the best moments we gave to our fans – both in Yaroslavl and Halifax. By the way, we had people cheering for us even in Halifax. Once again, I want to say I really loved our group of guys, our coaching staff, our masseurs, our equipment managers – everyone. I want to thank you too for covering this event. I leave Halifax in a good mood. Even though we lost. Life goes on.
Hopefully Yak gets to play on the FIST line in edmonton next year.
I'm starting to really like this kid.

Hopefully Yak gets to play on the FIST line in edmonton next year.
Hopefully there is a next year, otherwise we'll be watching him play for Russia come Christmas
Love this kids hunger and sense of humor. I certainly hope the media doesn't bury this guy if he makes a bad comment or two down the road due to the language barrier.Everyone is looking for a story.
For such a young man, very impressive answers from Nail Yakupov. Very respectful. It appears Edmonton is fortunate to gain a skillful young hockey player with good character. Besides, he is moving to Edmonton along with his mother and sister. How many present Oilers choose to live in the city?
Yes, Yakupov seems like a leader. He is loyal, sincere and mature. He didn't use the Refs as an excuse for any of the losses and he was genuine about his feelings. This speaks volume about his character. Nail will be great for the Oilers-on and off the ice.
August 17 2012, 09:21AM
Love this kids hunger and sense of humor. I certainly hope the media doesn't bury this guy if he makes a bad comment or two down the road due to the language barrier.Everyone is looking for a story.
Couldn't agree more. The kid certainly appears as though he is trying to give out thoughtful answers. This is a one on one interview, presumably in his native tounge.
At some post game scrum undoubtedly a question will be misunderstood or answered a little funny. Hopefully everyone realizes how difficult a language English is and how many colloquial expressions do not translate into anything that makes sense.
August 17 2012, 09:30AM
Mr. Osadchenko is a delight to read.
And the Yak is wise beyond his years - a wonderful addition to the community that is Edmonton. May it be this way forever.
Love this kids hunger and sense of humor. I certainly hope the media doesn't bury this guy if he makes a bad comment or two down the road due to the language barrier.Everyone is looking for a story.
Yes, I can just see an "I just wasn't into it out there" comment in a year or two.
Wouldn't put too much thought into his numbers from the Canada Russia series. Team Canada played Nail well and he didn't get many opportunities. Elevating your game to play through stiffer defences is something all kids have to learn. But what did impress me was when he did get a small opening, he did something with it, a goal, a great pass, etc.
This is one player a lockout wouldn't hurt! Some more time in Sarnia to mature & develop would not hurt Yak one bit!

July 25, 2002 Fellowship in Caricature and Cartoon Being Offered for the 2003-2004 Academic Year
Press Contact: Craig D'Ooge (202) 707-9189
Public Contact: Martha Kennedy (202) 707-9115
The Caroline and Erwin Swann Foundation for Caricature and Cartoon, located in the Library of Congress, is accepting applications for its graduate fellowship. The Swann Foundation awards one fellowship annually (with a stipend of $15,000) to support continuing scholarly research and writing in the field of caricature and cartoon. Completed applications are due February 14, 2003, and applicants will be notified in spring 2003. The fellowship will cover the 2003-2004 academic year.
To be eligible, an applicant must be a candidate for an M.A. or Ph.D. degree in a university in the United States, Canada or Mexico; working toward the completion of a dissertation or thesis for that degree; or engaged in postgraduate research within three years of receiving an M.A. or Ph.D. Although research must be in the field of caricature and cartoon, there is no limitation regarding the place or time period covered. Since the fund encourages research in a variety of academic disciplines, there is also no restriction on which university department might oversee a project proposed for the fellowship, provided the subject pertains to caricature or cartoon art.
In the interest of increasing awareness and extending documentation of Library of Congress collections, fellows are required to make use of the Library's collections, be in residence for at least two weeks during the award period, and deliver a public lecture at the Library on his/her work in progress at that time. Each recipient must also provide a copy of his/her dissertation, thesis, or postgraduate publication about the fellowship project, upon completion, for the Swann Foundation Fellowship files.
New York advertising executive Erwin Swann (1906-1973) established the Swann Foundation for Caricature and Cartoon in 1967. An avid collector, Swann assembled a large group of original drawings by 400 artists, spanning two centuries, which his estate bequeathed to the Library of Congress in two installments in 1974 and 1977. Swann's original purpose was to compile a collection of original drawings by significant humorous and satiric artists and to encourage the study of original cartoon and caricature drawings as works of art. The emphasis on original works serves two purposes: to preserve art that is too often lost or casually destroyed, and to foster critical appreciation for aesthetic qualities such as draftsmanship, subtlety of line and wash in artists' original drawings--qualities that are lost in reproductions.
The foundation's support of research and academic publication is carried out in part through its program of fellowships. The application for the Swann Foundation fellowship requires a statement of qualifications, project description, research needs, and a budget. The Caroline and Erwin Swann Foundation for Caricature and Cartoon, administered by the Library of Congress, is overseen by an advisory board composed of scholars, collectors, cartoonists and Library of Congress staff members. Its activities support the study, interpretation, preservation and appreciation of original works of humorous and satiric art by graphic artists from around the world.
Guidelines and application forms are available through the Swann Foundation's Web site: www.loc.gov/rr/print/swann/swannhome.html; by e-mailing: email@example.com; or by calling Martha Kennedy in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress at (202) 707-9115. Important notice: Due to the anthrax scare of October 2001, the Library of Congress still has problems receiving mail. Use FEDEX, UPS, or another direct shipping service to guarantee that your application and letters of recommendation arrive by the February 14, 2003, deadline.

Wraparound Dust Ruffle is rated out of 5 by 48.
Rated 4 out of 5 by monkeygirl from Easy to use This fits the bill for easiness of use, especially if you can't lift a king-sized mattress by yourself. Looks dressy

Rated 5 out of 5 by JCS Jr. from Perfect fit, no sagging You get what you pay for and more. It stays in place, the elastic is heavy duty and it fits perfectly. Looks great with my Nordic Coverlet. I had a wraparound skirt that was cheap and after time it sagged. I could not pin it because I have a metal frame for my memory foam bed. Velcro did not stay in place either.

Rated 3 out of 5 by LBonita from color mislabeled The color that was printed in the catalog was sage green which turned out to be light green and in fact was even printed on the package as such. Needless to say, I now must go to the bother of returning it. Since i didn't remove the dust ruffle from the package I am unable to comment on the fit. The other two items, i.e. dream sheets and the Lanz robe were fine and as advertised. I do wish the sheets came in perma press as the borders on both the top sheet and the pillow cases were very wrinkled and did not lay flat even when removed from the dryer immediately. I love the fit, but have better things to do than iron sheets, even if it is only the borders. The bottom sheet pulls tightly enough that there is hardly any wrinkling at all and the top sheet, except for the fold over border is under a blanket which is of little matter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CaliforniaShopperAgain from Lovely duster ruffle has easy placement; looks beautiful We had just let the idea of a duster ruffle go, since most of them have to go across the entire mattress or box-spring, and any shift, no matter how minimal, means it moves out of alignment. It is also frustrating if you have back issues to exacerbate the problem, and it just becomes too much hassle. We went for two years with only a quilt/bedspread, and so the ugly wheels and frame were showing unless we pulled covers way down over the visible side, which of course, made for totally lopsided bedding. Then came this, with its crazy stretch of fabric and elastic that fits over the bed like a necklace. And just like that, problem solved: bed beautiful and no more backache in twisting, adjusting and re-adjusting. Brilliant! I highly recommend this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lynn the Shopper from This Dust Ruffle is Amazing! So easy to use. No need to lift up a whole heavy mattress; just place the elastic around the mattress. The store sells little white fasteners if the elastic gets a bit stretched. LOVE IT! Wish it came in more colors.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Lady shops A lot from Material that lies on box spring Material that lies on box spring is not wide enough and is not designed good for wraparound securing.
Date published: 2016-06-29
Rated 3 out of 5 by Chimera1212 from Could be a great product but not quite there yet. I'd like a "Maybe" button for the recommendation to a friend part of this review. It's a terrific product in its execution. I can put this on without help. However, I have a real bed, not just a headboard and this wasn't really designed to go around real bed corners. It needs a deep pleat to do that. Also I would love to see the fabric upgraded. It is a little thin. I realize to put in the pleats they would have to have 4 different sizes, twin, full, queen and king, not the one size fits two like they have now.
Date published: 2016-06-28
Rated 5 out of 5 by Patinky from Just what I was looking for! Easy to put on and looks great. Since it is used in a guest room, it doesn't get daily use. Others mention that it doesn't stay on but mine has worked perfectly. Perhaps, if used nightly, the dust ruffle pins might help with the slippage problem but mine is great just as it is. Old fashioned without being super-frilly and just right for a country-styled, southern bedroom. It is lightweight and not quite as full as the 1960s-1970s version but I'd buy it again!

Head-on collision sends three to the hospital
June 26, 2013
U.S. Highway 50 east of Stateline was closed for about 90 minutes Wednesday morning after a 6:47 a.m. vehicle collision at Presbyterian Curve, about a half mile west of Zephyr Cove, according to the Nevada Highway Patrol.
The crash happened when a 22-year-old South Lake Tahoe man driving a 1993 Cadillac sedan crossed the double-yellow line and into the path of a 39-year-old Tahoe City woman driving a 2010 Subaru Forester, according NHP spokesman Chuck Allen.
The driver of the Cadillac received serious, but not life-threatening injuries, and was flown to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno by Care Flight, Allen said.
Two teenagers in the vehicle with him received minor injuries and were taken by ambulance to Barton Memorial Hospital. The driver of the Subaru was uninjured in the collision.
Highway 50 was closed for nearly 90 minutes while troopers investigated the crash and waited for tow trucks to clear the wreckage. The roadway was completely opened shortly before 8:30 am.
Trooper Bob Wright is investigating this incident. Witnesses with any information about this event are asked contact him via the Department of Public Safety Communications Center at 775-687-0400 regarding case No. NHP-130602410.

Megabass Pony Gabot Frog
Just when you thought that frog fishing couldn't get any more exciting, along comes the Megabass Pony Gabot Frog. Built with a unique catamaran-style mouth that took over two-years to develop, the Megabass Pony Gabot Frog hits bass with a lethal combination of splashing, slapping, and walking. The specially engineered mouth of Megabass Pony Gabot Frog does more than just spit water, it also stabilizes the body and reduces rolling when blow-ups occur - for an increased strike-to-hook up ratio. And if that wasn't enough, the mouth also allows the Megabass Pony Gabot Frog to pivot in place and sashay across the surface with a textbook walk-the-dog motion. Additionally, the Megabass Pony Gabot Frog is also built with a line-tie in-between the super-sharp double frog hook that permits anglers to attach an optional spinner blade. Finished with two tantalizing ponytails, the Megabass Pony Gabot Frog just raised the bar for hollow-bodied frogs everywhere.

Comments: The lure isn't very durable compared to Koppers or spro that's for sure. Good lure just don't expect it to last long. I don't quite understand all the people who expect a lure company to replace lures for them. There's no way to know if a lures been abused so it's a bit ridiculous to think you can contact a lure company and expect a replacement for some item that cost less than $20. Some people have terrible unrealistic expectations.
From: Rob D: Lewistown PA 1/6/17
Comments: I got one cast out of this frog. I caught a 2 pound largemouth, that ripped the belly completely open. So, my frog has a gash on the under belly, the entire length of the frog. Of course, no luck getting it replaced with Megabass.
From: Richey: Newnan, GA 6/1/15
Comments: I purchased this frog and proceeded to make 15 cast after unboxing the bait for the first time to only find the metal weight missing out of the bottom of the lure. Megabass was no assistance with trying to get a replacement.
From: Blake: Soddy Daisy, TN 7/14/14
Comments: This lure is easy to walk and was the only lure that that got hit on my last outing. However you can't let it sit still to long like the livetarget frogs cause it will start to sink, as long as you keep it moving you will be fine. The finish isn't too durable but the hooks are sharp and the lure doesn't ride up the line like others, it stays on the hooks. My only personal gripes are that of the finish and the option to let it sit for a few seconds but that didn't stop the fish from wrecking this thing.
From: Paul: Malta, NY 6/20/14
Comments: This frog is no good, sinks halfway through a retrieve. Stick with the Spro frog, easily the best on the market. Not often that Megabass misses with a bait, but this frog is garbage.
From: Gary: Toledo Bend, LA 3/11/14
Comments: I thought the frog was a waste because it sank.I sealed the hole around the hooks and punched out the preset hole on top and I love the frog now! well worth it just seal the hole.
From: bigdre585: Rochester NY
Comments: I was afraid this frog would sink after seeing a similar reveiw sure enough mine sinks too theres a hole where the hook comes out, seems like a defect on some frogs not all my guess is that some one at megabass is snipping away too much material because mine has cut marks. Not what i expected from megabass .
From: Anthony: franklin park, il. Usa
Comments: the frog has good action it's super easy to walk but mines tore at the mouth

By PHIL FAUVERstaff writer
The Emery County Commission held a Public Hearing Aug. 13, for comments from the public concerning the proposed property tax increase by Emery County and the Special Services District. The monies collected by this one time judgment levy will be used to payback PacifiCorp for a tax protest.
The County Commissioners explained why the judgment levy would require a property tax increase on the residents of Emery County.
This judgment levy is a result of PacifiCorp protesting property taxes imposed upon them by the Utah State Tax Commission's assessment of PacifiCorp's property in the 2006 and 2007 tax year. PacifiCorp paid the property taxes assessed to Emery County and the Castle Valley Special Service District while fighting those assessed property taxes in court. PacifiCorp recently won the court case.
Now Emery County, the Emery County School District, Emery Water Conservancy District and the Castle Valley Special Service District are ordered to payback to PacifiCorp the tax monies they received for the tax year 2006 and 2007 which are deemed to be an overpayment of taxes by PacifiCorp.
The following county entities received monies from taxes levied against PacifiCorp for the year 2006 and 2007:
The Emery County General Fund received for 2006-07 $296,012.33, Emery County School District received $370,564.88, Emery Water Conservancy District received $26,246.51, Castle Valley Special Service District received $121,802.56. The interest to be paid on this money from PacifiCorp is 64,327.56. These county entities are required by the court to repay PacifiCorp. This information is taken from the information sheet handed out at the meeting. These amounts which must be repaid are what the court has determined that PacifiCorp overpaid in taxes for those years 2006-07.
Clerk/Auditor Brenda Tuttle said a judgment levy is the recouping of property taxes that have been appealed by Centrally Assessed property tax owners and we then have to pay it back to the property owner that won the litigation. This particular appeal goes back to 2006 and 2007. The total amount of the appeal countywide for all four taxing entities is $879,080. The Emery County portion is $319,310. Because the tax year closes in December of each year the 2006 and 2007 years are already ended and the money has already been spent. Therefore in order to pay this back to PacifiCorp then this is the avenue we have to get the money in order to pay the appeal. That is basically what a judgment levy is.
Commissioner Nelson pointed out that PacifiCorp would pay about 67 percent of this judgment levy to themselves, because that is their tax.
Tuttle said the Centrally Assessed properties amount to 84 percent overall. If the homeowners had to pay the entire amount this would be a huge increase, but where it is countywide with PacifiCorp paying back the biggest portion of the judgment levy in the end PacifiCorp did not win by much. Tuttle also pointed out that this is a one-year levy only. The purpose of this hearing is to discuss the Emery County portion or $319,000 and Castle Valley Special Service District's portion or $131,442.
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks asked for comments from the audience.
The first comment came from Richard Nielson a resident of Ferron, and a disappointed taxpayer in Emery County. He said I think it was ill advised for the county to go after taxes that have already been approved by the State of Utah. To use taxpayer money to fight another entity using taxpayer money to recover money from one of the largest employers in Emery County as well as one of the largest taxpayers in Emery County. I do not think that promotes economic growth. I do not think my opinion amounts to much but we need to promote economic growth here and not take the Obama approach and raise taxes anytime we get the chance. My suggestion would be and my request would be, if I have done the math correctly I could not see anything that would support the tax increase. Richard said as near as I can tell $319,000 against an annual budget of about $14 million amounts to about 2 to 3 percent.
I do not see that any efforts have been made to cut expenses. We raise taxes just like the President. But we are not cutting expenses. The county does nothing to hold people accountable, I refer to the Recreation Department. I am in favor of personal responsibility and accountability. No one is held accountable and you want to take more money from the taxpayer. Tighten your belts before you come to me and ask for more money.
Commissioner Horrocks responded by saying for your information people are held accountable. We have done a lot to reduce the cost of the county government. We continually ask our department heads to cut back on their budget requests. The only thing we can do further is to cut services.
Richard Nielson said I think we can do better. I think we can cut expenses and ask each district and department to cut a percent. I think we can, but only if we try. If we fail to try were going to fail.
Commissioner Horrocks explained this judgment levy does not increase the amount of funds coming into the county. These are taxes we received that we have to payback to the power company. What you are seeing is a tax shift from the Centrally Assessed property entities in the county to the homeowner in the county. This does not bring any more money into the county. It is a shift because of a court decision as to who is paying the money.
Richard Nielson responded by saying rather than take more money from the property owners can we go to the department heads and have them cut budgets. I believe we can from what I have seen of the county. If you disagree then vote for the tax increase. Let's not take the Obama approach, we should take the Mitt Romney approach and hold people accountable for what they do. We don't just raise taxes every chance we get. Let's cut the budget. That is my approach.
Blake Behling had a question about centrally assessed property and why is PacifiCorp assessed the way they are and then they get to beat the assessment?
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks explained the State Tax Commission assesses Centrally Assessed properties in the State of Utah. The county property owners are assessed by our County Tax Assessor. The Tax Commission tells the county what the taxes are going to be for those properties. When those Centrally Assessed businesses appeal through the State Tax Commission, we try to fight the appeal and when we lose then we have to repay whatever the Tax Commission overcharged. We can do that by raising the taxes to the full amount of what the assessment is or by doing a judgment levy. This requires the entity that made the appeal and won the payback, in this case, about 70 percent of that fund back to the county. They do not get the full 100 percent.
In other words when the judgment levy is assessed with the property taxes for homeowners in November they will pay this one time judgment levy. PacifiCorp will also have to pay their share of the judgment levy as they are a taxed business within the county. All Emery County taxpayers will pay their share of the judgment levy so PacifiCorp can be paid back the amount the court awarded them in overpayment of taxes.
The Emery County Commission after the public hearing approved the judgment levy and imposed a one time property tax increase on the Emery County residents so that Emery County and the Castle Valley Special Service District will be able to repay the taxes from PacifiCorp.

Sports & Leisure
The nation's passion for sports is obvious every day—at NASCAR races, kiddie soccer matches, and countless other contests. From a handball used by Abraham Lincoln to Chris Evert's tennis racket to a baseball signed by Jackie Robinson, the roughly 6.000 objects in the Museum's sports collections bear witness to the vital place of sports in the nation's history. Paper sports objects in the collections, such as souvenir programs and baseball cards, number in the hundreds of thousands.
Leisure collections encompass a different range of objects, including camping vehicles and gear, video games, playing cards, sportswear, exercise equipment, and Currier and Ives prints of fishing, hunting, and horseracing. Some 4,000 toys dating from the colonial period to the present are a special strength of the collections.

Hallicrafters S-40 radio receiver
- Description
- Amateurs began making home radios to transmit and receive messages early in the 1900s. As part of the 1912 Radio Act, these "hams" were assigned to the short-wave part of the radio spectrum. Radio operators around the world learned code, formed clubs, and exchanged cards listing their license numbers.
- In 1933, radio enthusiast William (Bill) J. Halligan of Chicago founded The Hallicrafters, Inc. The firm sold radios and other electronic components. Ham radio operation in the U.S. was suspended during World War II, and Hallicrafters devoted its resources to producing military goods.
- After the war, it resumed production for consumers. Hobbyists bought receivers like this one. This sturdy object was owned by Charles E. Dennison, a longtime employee of the Smithsonian Institution.

Scandinavian vocalist Nikola Sarcevic is best known for his work as the lead singer of Millencolin, a Swedish punk/alternative rock band that commanded a loyal following in Europe and the United States in the '90s and 2000s. Sarcevic's many years with Millencolin have earned the Swede a reputation for being a loud, forceful, brash, and very extroverted type of artist; however, a much more introspective and sensitive side of Sarcevic emerged after he launched a solo career in the early 2000s. As Millencolin's frontman, Sarcevic has been influenced by the amplified, in-your-face aggression of bands ranging from the Clash to NOFX and the Descendants, but as a solo artist, Sarcevic has favored more of a singer/songwriter aesthetic. Concentrating on folk-rock and adult alternative, Sarcevic the solo artist has invited comparisons to John Mayer, Ben Folds Five, Counting Crows, and the Gin Blossoms rather than Cock Sparrer, the Circle Jerks, or Sham 69.
Sarcevic (who has played electric bass with Millencolin and guitar on some of his solo recordings) started to make a name for himself in Nordic rock circles in the late '80s, when he co-founded Millencolin's original three-man lineup with guitarists Erik Ohlsson and Mathias Färm in Örebro, Sweden; Millencolin officially became a quartet when Fredrik Larzon was hired as the band's full-time drummer in 1993. At first, Millencolin was a Swedish-language group, but after a few years, Sarcevic and his colleagues began writing in English. In Sweden, some artists write in Swedish exclusively and concentrate on the Scandinavian market; many others, however, opt to broaden their appeal by performing mostly or entirely in English -- and by making the transition to English lyrics, Millencolin was following the lead of countless Swedish performers who had ranged from satanic death metal, black metal, and grindcore bands to ABBA-obsessed bubblegum Europopsters to Ella Fitzgerald-influenced jazz vocalists. By the time Millencolin's first album, Life on a Plate, was released in Sweden on Burning Heart Records in 1995, they had acquired an enthusiastic following in the Nordic countries -- and after they signed with the Los Angeles-based Epitaph label, the Swedes became increasingly popular in the United States. By the spring of 2001, Epitaph had distributed five Millencolin albums in North America.
Around 2003, Sarcevic made a decision: he would launch a solo career on the side while continuing to serve as Millencolin's lead singer/frontman -- a game plan that Epitaph was obviously comfortable with. The world-weary Lock-Sport-Krock, Sarcevic's first solo effort, was released on Burning Heart/Epitaph in July 2004 -- and much to the surprise of his longtime fans, the album was a total departure from anything he had done with Millencolin. No one expected Sarcevic, of all people, to branch out into folk-rock and adult alternative territory and come up with such an introspective, reflective CD. Nonetheless, Sarcevic continued to perform live with Millencolin, and a sixth album with that band, Kingwood, was released on Burning Heart/Epitaph in April 2005. His sophomore solo effort, Roll Roll and Flee, was issued the following year in Europe via Burning Heart; a North American release was delayed when Epitaph chose not to pick the record up. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi

The weather outside is frightful! What was it like during significant events in your family history? Did the weather play a part in what your ancestors did and where they lived? Did they survive tornadoes, hurricanes, droughts or blizzards? Move to sunnier climes? What was it like the day you were born? Weather events can be fascinating details to add to your family story.
Consider the case of Genevieve Bohn, born in Chicago 7 November 1901. "Genevieve was to be the last child born to Susan and Charles Bohn. She made her appearance 7 November 1901 on an overcast day in Chicago while a a few snow flurries blew about. By evening it was a clear, chilly 38 degrees, as the close-knit family gathered together to celebrate the birth of the newest member."
Or from another November in Chicago:
"Michael Cummings was a flagman for the Northwestern railroad. It was only November (1887), but for Chicago that meant winter had begun. The first blizzard-like conditions hit on November 19th. The Tribune reported that it was 'just the kind of weather that makes railroad men swear…(the wind) whirled the snow into drifts through which the locomotives had to plow their way.'* Although he was used to working in Chicago's changeable climate, the combination of cold and snow may have contributed to the accident that took Michael's life on November 22nd, when he was run down by a freight train at Hamlin and Kinzie."
You can add weather information to your story by researching local newspapers. Large city papers contain weather statistics for cities around the country (and the world).

4th Sunday of Matthew
The Gospel according to Matthew 8:5-13
At that time, as Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to him, beseeching him and saying, "Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, in terrible distress." And he said to him, "I will come and heal him." But the centurion answered him, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to another, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it." When Jesus heard him, he marveled, and said to those who followed him, "Truly, I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such faith. I tell you, many will come from east and west and sit at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their teeth." And to the centurion Jesus said, "Go; be it done for you as you have believed." And the servant was healed at that very moment.

Chapter 13
The Ammonites and Moabites are denied a place in the congregation of God—Tobiah is ejected from his dwelling place in the temple—Nehemiah corrects abuses and reinstitutes Sabbath observance—Some Jews are rebuked for marrying non-Israelite women and defiling the priesthood.

4 ¶And before this, Eliashib the priest, having the oversight of the chamber of the house of our God, was allied unto Tobiah:
5 And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the meat offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, which was commanded to be given to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the offerings of the priests.
6 But in all this time was not I at Jerusalem: for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I unto the king, and after certain days obtained I leave of the king:
7 And I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.
8 And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber.
9 Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat offering and the frankincense.
10 ¶And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.
11 Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in their place.
