There will be no love lost when these two Aussie rivals go head to head, with the hosts looking to keep their unbeaten record intact.
There will be no love lost when these two Aussie rivals go head to head on Saturday, with the Brumbies looking to keep their unbeaten record this season intact.
The Waratahs make the difficult trip to Australia's capital against a resurging Brumbies side that is slowly gaining confidence, thanks to the masterful management of coach Jake White.
The Sydneysiders will seek solace in the second-half performance last weekend against the Rebels. After a slow first half, they began to inject some urgency and attack into their game to get the crowd onto its feet.
They will hope to play a more prolonged period of positive rugby, as the Brumbies will not be as forgiving as the Rebels have been and could be trailing by a significant margin quite early – if they start again slow.
The Brumbies go into Saturday's encouter welcoming back one of its favourite sons, 110-Test cap Wallaby George Smith, on a loan deal from Japan until May and will feature off the bench at some stage.
The Brumbies also welcome back Wallaby skipper David Pocock, as well as winger Henry Speight who has recovered from a rib injury, as their only other change from the side that defeated the Rebels two weeks ago.
The remarkable feat for White is that the Brumbies have a completely fit 35-man roster for the first time since he joined the club.
The visiting Waratahs, however, never seem to have the fortune of a clean bill of health and will play without the services of Berrick Barmes as well as influential Bernard Foley.
Ben Volavola's impressive cameos off the bench has earned him a start and could be the spark the Waratahs have been craving straight from the kick-off. His introdution shifts Israel Foulau to the right wing, in place of Tom Kingston who is relegated to the bench.
Prediction: It will be hard to bet against a full-strength Brumbies outfit at home and full of confidence. We feel the Waratahs, whilst showing glimpses of excellence, won't have the ability to hold back their hosts this weekend as they attempt to remain top of the standings and Australian conference. Brumbies to win by 10!
The teams:
Brumbies: 15 Jesse Mogg, 14 Henry Speight, 13 Andrew Smith, 12 Christian Lealiifano, 11 Clyde Rathbone, 10 Matt Toomua, 9 Nic White, 8 Ben Mowen (c), 7 David Pocock, 6 Peter Kimlin, 5 Sam Carter, 4 Scott Fardy, 3 Dan Palmer, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 Ben Alexander.
Replacements: 16 Siliva Siliva, 17 Scott Sio, 18 Fotu Auelua, 19 George Smith, 20 Ian Prior, 21 Robbie Coleman, 22 Joe Tomane.
Waratahs: 15 Ben Volavola, 14 Israel Folau, 13 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 12 Tom Carter, 11 Drew Mitchell, 10 Bernard Foley, 9 Brendan McKibbin, 8 Dave Dennis, 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Mitchell Chapman, 5 Kane Douglas, 4 Sitaleki Timani, 3 Sekope Kepu, 2 Tatafu Polota-Nau, 1 Benn Robinson.

Linux/Unix based platforms have a variety of CLI tools which are incredibly useful. I had a scenario where I needed to update a path reference in various configuration files, fortunately this can be accomplished using a single command:
grep -rl 'foo' . | xargs -l1 sed -i 's/foo/bar/g'
Note: Forward slashes must be escaped from your find and replace strings passed to sed, e.g.
cd /etc/apache2 grep -rl '/etc/apache' conf | xargs sed -i 's/\/etc\/apache/\/etc\/apache2/g'
The above command omits the -l1 argument to xargs. This executes slightly faster as all matching paths are sent to sed at once rather than constructing a foreach loop. If you expect a lot of files to match your search string you'll want to pass the -l1 argument to avoid a too many arguments error from sed.

Colts kick Cyclones from Foothills podium
In the 2011 and 2012 seasons, the Pueblo South Colts won a total of three football games.
During that same stretch Pueblo West won 16 games, a Foothills League championship, and advanced to the state semifinals.
In this 2013 season, the South Colts have already won eight games, including the cross-town showdown — and battle for the Foothills championship — last Friday night at Dutch Clark Stadium.
Statistically, Pueblo West actually won the battles upfront, both offensively and defensively.
They outrushed the Colts by 178 yards. Remarkably, the Cyclones even had slightly more passing yards against one of the state's best passing teams.
But the Colts won the all-important battles for turnovers and field position, and they ultimately won the war, 31-21.
South's outstanding kicking game proved to be a key factor as the Colts kickoff and punt teams made the Cyclones offense work "uphill" all night. The Cyclones started eight of out of their nine offensive possessions inside their own 25 yard line.
Conversely, the Cyclones inability to execute any successful onside kicks (0-4), and a failed fake punt attempt allowed the potent Colts offense to work "downhill" for the majority of the game. South capitalized on these miscues—and a back breaking interception—by putting together relatively quick scoring drives from just 23, 30, 45 and 51 yards out.
The Cyclones offense was forced to go to the air more than they would have liked.
Senior quarterback Zac Drury and his receivers did make some big plays (two for touchdowns).
But Duruy had to scramble for his life during most of his 13 official passing attempts, and the defensive pressure also led to two costly interceptions.
A real momentum killer came with the Cyclones trailing 14-7 at the end of the first half.
Somewhat ironically, South's talented punter, Garrett Krage, (who also plays defensive back), added insult to injury by intercepting a Drury pass and returning it to the Cyclones 23 yard line with just 16 seconds remaining in the half.
On the very next play the Colts quarterback Nathan Spinuzzi did what he does best, tossing a 23 yard touchdown strike to Devin Valdez.
The Cyclones heads were down as they went into the locker room trailing 21-7.
Pueblo West showed its true character and resolve by in the second half.
"We came out and fought hard in the second half," head coach Monte Pinkerton noted.
"It would have been easy for our guys to let down after their touchdown right at the end of the half." "Our guys played hard for four quarters."
The Cyclones got back in the game when Travis Meyer willed his way to a touchdown reception by ripping a Duruy pass from the defender's hands at the goal line. With the failed PAT kick, the score stood at Colts 21-Cyclones 13 still early in the third quarter.
But with another missed onside kick opportunity, the Colts again had a short field to navigate. Spinuzzi answered with another touchdown toss to Valdez. Colts 28-Cyclones 13.
Spinuzzi, who is also the place kicker for the Colts, bombed yet another kickoff out of the end zone, and the Cyclones went back to work from their own 20 yard line. As always, the Cyclones celebrated the start of the fourth quarter, confident that they could win this critical quarter and still have a shot to defend their Foothills League championship. The westsiders battled, and closed the gap to 28-21 on another acrobatic touchdown pass, this time from Drury to his wide receiver Tristen Ross with 7:34 remaining in the game.
The Cyclones failed to recover the ensuing onside kick, and Spinuzzi delivered the knockout punch by kicking a 31 yard field goal.
Colts 31-Cyclones 21.
After tipping his cap to the South coaches and players for executing a solid game plan, Coach Pinkerton's thoughts quickly shifted to the next item of business for his team—winning their way into the playoffs.
"I am very proud of our guys", Pinkerton asserted.
"And we are still in a good position for the regular season finale."
The Cyclones, 6-3, 4-2, will still make the playoffs if they can remain among the top 16 teams in the MaxPreps/CHSAA wild card rankings.
Pueblo West currently sits at number 14, with 83.778 points.
Yes, this wild card ranking system resembles the infamously complex BCS rankings in major college football—and no, I will not bore you by attempting to explain it.
Suffice it to say that the computers care that two of Cyclones losses have come at the hands of the No. 1, and No. 2 teams in the wildcard rankings (Montrose and Pueblo South). So the Cyclones can still "control their own destiny" by beating Mesa Ridge this Friday at home. The Grizzlies come into the final regular season game at 4-5 overall, and 2-4 in Foothills League play.
Start time for the West and Mesa Ridge game is 7 p.m. at the Pueblo West High School stadium, Friday.

Sex-Ed Program For Scouts Gets the Three-Finger Salute
The fine folks at BBC News have since had a change of heart, but when this story on a sex-ed program for Boy and Girl Scouts first ran, it was accompanied by the regrettably chosen photo you see in the screengrab. Unless I'm getting this totally wrong, and knotting techniques have officially been replaced by obscene hand gestures as their badge-earning skill of choice. "What did you get this one for?" "The Shocker!" [BBC via The Daily What]

To find out if weight loss surgery is right for you, learn about the requirements for surgery.
NEW – Non-Surgical Option
Catholic Health is now offering ORBERA, a non-surgical weight loss procedure. This safe and effective procedure is designed for patients that may not be an eligible candidate for bariatric surgery but haven't been successful in losing weight with diet and exercise or even pharmaceutical interventions. CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS
More than one third of American adults are overweight, according to the Journal of American Medicine. For many, it's just a matter of carrying a few extra pounds. For others, it can be a life-threatening medical condition.
Serious health problems are either caused by or worsened by obesity. Among the most common are heart disease, stroke, diabetes, osteoarthritis, infertility and even certain types of cancer.
Bariatric surgery, which includes gastric bypass and lap band surgery, is the only proven, long-term treatment for obesity.
When combined with diet and exercise, bariatric surgery can help you to achieve your weight loss goals where other methods have failed. Some patients lose as much as 65% of excess body weight.
Our patients enjoy one-on-one attention and staff who are sensitive to their needs. We know that obesity is a disease and offer compassion and encouragement to help you live a healthier lifestyle.

Our bariatric surgeon will meet with you at every appointment. He will take the time to listen to your concerns and will encourage you to contact him with questions both before and after your surgery.

Private Rooms
Nothing is overlooked in ensuring your comfort.
Following surgery, our bariatric patients recover in private rooms that are designed specifically for patients seeking weight loss surgery.
Compassionate Staff
Our staff is highly trained in catering to the needs of the bariatric patient, both physically and emotionally.
To learn how to best make our bariatric patients feel comfortable and to anticipate your needs, our staff undergoes training each year.
Support Throughout Your Weight Loss Journey
Your relationship with Catholic Health continues after surgery. Within 72 hours, our nurse practitioner will follow up with you by phone. She can talk you through your diet, fix problems with filling your prescriptions and help with issues at home.
We also offer support groups to weight loss surgery patients or those struggling with obesity. Click here for more information about our support groups.
I have always been overweight and have struggled with it since I was 10 years old.
My pediatrician encouraged my parents to put me on diets, and they signed me up to a gym at a very early age. At 23 years old, I knew I'd be lucky if I made it into my 30s. This surgery was my last resort. I was dealing with emotional issues on top of the physical ones.
If someone told me a year ago all of the things I would be doing today, I would never have believed them. I have lived so much in the past year – physically, emotionally and socially. I was restricted before. My entire life has changed, I have a new lease on life. I don't consider weight an issue anymore when I go to do things, and before, going to a restaurant was really hard.
It saved my life. If I could help one person, I will tell my story. I just want to shout it from the top of a mountain! I could probably climb a mountain now!

Finding a Niche for: Brandon Knight
by: Derek Bodner - College Basketball Scout, Sebastian Pruiti - Video Scout
May 6, 2011
Brandon Knight was one of the most talented scorers and shot-creators in college basketball this season, but is also the youngest player in the draft. What do those questions mean to his fit at the next level?
Report by Derek Bodner, Video Breakdown by Sebastian Pruiti
Brandon Knight
capped off his up and down freshman season with a pair of game winners and a 30 point explosion during Kentucky's run to the Final Four, despite shooting just under 33% from the field in the tournament while committing nearly 3.4 turnovers per game, showing the quandary he places NBA decision makers in.
Those numbers may hide some of the progress Knight was making as the year went on. Knight averaged an astounding 4.7 turnovers per game over his first seven games, struggling both with his ball handling and decision making as he was playing a largely isolation game trying to make the major transition from high school to college. Knight played for a small, academic oriented high school in Florida where he was asked to play a be-all, end-all role in every moment on the court, and adjusting to the rigors of a new system on a team playing an incredibly challenging schedule almost immediately was a major learning experience for the young point guard.
As the year went on Calipari put Knight in more and more in pick and roll and dribble hand off situations, allowing the guard to take advantage of the attention he receives in these situations and generate offense for his teammates, while limiting some of the turnover problems and over dribbling that plagued Knight earlier in the season. Well known as a very intelligent player and person both on and off the court, Knight's basketball IQ improved visibly from game to game and week to week, culminating in his very impressive SEC and NCAA Tournament performances in March.

Despite the improvement towards the end of the regular season, Knight clearly still has a lot to improve upon before answering the questions about his ability to play the point guard position full time in the NBA, as is evidenced by him being near the bottom of all point guards in our Top-100 rankings in
pure point rating
assist to turnover ratio
Even with the improvement in his decision making late in the season, he still has a tendency to force the issue and lose his dribble in traffic , at times getting too deep on dribble penetrations without an outlet.
While capable of making some outstanding passes at times, Knight doesn't consistently show great court vision or the ability to control tempo. He's also not someone that is considered a great leader, as he's somewhat shy and reserved off the court, being described by those around him as having different interests than your typical 19-year old athlete. This could (and probably should) be viewed a major plus by many image-conscious organizations. With that said, all these factors combined are all things that NBA teams will need to ponder when projecting his initial role and long-term potential at the point.
How much will he improve as a playmaker and leader with added maturity and experience? It's difficult to gauge precisely considering that he's just 19 years old and won't turn 20 until December, making him one of the youngest players in this draft class.
As a scorer, there's a lot to like about Knight, and he has the versatility to fit in many offenses. He's a good, albeit sometimes streaky (largely related to at times poor shot selection), shooter with NBA three point range, who shows the ability to hit shots off catch and shoot situations, off the dribble, and coming off screens. He shows an ability to come off a baseline screen, make a tight curl, and square up and convert the attempt. He's also continuing to improve as a catch and shoot player, continuing to improve the consistency of his release on catch and shoot attempts, which he shows good form and elevation on.
This ability to score off the ball should ease his transition to the NBA game, allowing him to get playing time off the bench as a combo guard, or perhaps starting next to either a big point guard or a ball-dominant guard/wing (such as Tyreke Evans), as he's learning the nuances of the NBA point guard position.
Icon SMI
With the ball in his hands he is hard to defend in pick and roll situations, as he has the speed to turn the corner going right, and shows an ability to hit shots off the dribble if defenders go under the pick, although he could improve his recognition as a passer in these sets, a statement you could make about his offensive game in general.
He's a good isolation player who uses his first step and misdirection moves to get into the paint. When in the paint he's not the strongest or most explosive athlete, but has very good touch with his right hand, which he combines with floaters and runners in the lane, doing a good job of shielding the ball from defenders, to get his shots off effectively over bigger defenders. He is strong hand dominant, particularly when finishing around the basket, as he'll often times force an attempt with his strong hand, back into the defender.
He could stand to improve his free throw rate, as his 5.1 free throw attempts per 40 minutes pace adjusted is just towards the middle of the pack in terms of point guards in our database. Without the ability to explode towards the rim he often times settles for finesse moves in the 5-10 foot range rather than trying to draw the contact, a tendency that could increase against the stronger rim defenders in the NBA. In order to maximize his efficiency, he'll need to get better at drawing foulsa process many young guards, such as Derrick Rose and Stephen Curry, learned after they got to the NBA.
Defensively presents more problems with Knight when projecting his role to the NBA. He has the physical characteristics to be a solid defender at the point guard position, with good size, solid length (wingspan measured at 6-6 at the Nike Hoop Summit), and above average lateral quickness. When he gets into a solid stance and gives good effort he appears to move well enough laterally to be able to defend the position. That effort and attentiveness wasn't always there during his collegiate career, particularly earlier in the season. He also struggles defending the pick and roll, at times struggling to fight through the pick and recover. While he has solid size to defend the point, if he's forced to defend the shooting guard position at the next level he's going to be at a distinct disadvantage.
Projecting Knight to the next level, the diversity of his scoring and shot-creating ability allows him to be more effective off the ball than many combo guards, which could be a key in his minutes early in his career, as it's unlikely a coach is going to hand the reigns of an offensive over to him at this time until he garners more experience and improves his decision making.
On the right team, with either a big point guard or a wing player who runs a majority of the teams half-court offense such as the Lakers, Philadelphia, Miami could be his best situation to contend for a starting spot early in his development playing for a franchise that is looking to win now.
If not, there will be some growing pains Knight and the team that picks him will experience early on, but considering his youth and high basketball IQ, he could improve rapidly if allowed to learn through his mistakes.
The impact that scorers in Knight's mold are making in today's NBA is considerable, so it could certainly be reasonable for a bad team picking very early on in the draft to attempt to mold him on the fly into what they need him to be down the road.

GOwalk is the best
"I have another style of GOwalk shoes and I just love them, they are the most comfortable walking shoe. Great for travel since they are lightweight and slip on/off so easily. However, this style is a bit more narrow than my other pair. I decided to give them to my daughter, her foot is slightly narrow and they are perfect for her. She has worn them almost every day!"

Comfy, but not for fallen arches
"Comfy and stylish but I have flat feet and they just weren't supportive enough for my feet. My ankle was rolling all over the place. And unfortunately my orthotics didn't fit in these shoes so I had to send them back :-("

Skechers Slip-On Walking Shoe
"Love these! They arrived right on time and when I opened the box, I was happy that they looked EXACTLY like the photo on-line! I tend to pronate and use orthodics or stick-on foam arches and so far, I haven't had to use either, they are that comfortable and supportive. I plan on having these as my travel shoes - so easy to take off on and on at airports --- would get these in other colors if they are offered. 100% thrilled!"

Does this work in kernel mode too? I'm writing a kernel module which has to interact with arduino board..
FILE* ardport = fopen("/dev/ttyACM0", "r+");FILE* output = fopen("/tmp/ardoutput", "a");int c;while ((c = fgetc(ardport)) != EOF) { fputc(output, c);}fclose(ardport);flose(output);
how to know if I'm reading the same integer or a new one?
#include <linux/module.h>#include <linux/unistd.h>#include <asm/io.h>#include <asm/fcntl.h>#define SERIAL_PORT "/dev/ttyACM0"
void myfun(void){ int fd = open(SERIAL_PORT,O_RDONLY | O_NOCTTY); ..reading...
it gives me "implicit declaration"!
Tried with a normal user space program and still does not work: a lot of strange characters come out.I see a problem in your code too: you do not set baud rate at all, I think this has to be a problem...
struct termios options; int nBytesRead = 0; char buffer[20]; int fd = open(SERIAL_PORT,O_RDONLY | O_NOCTTY); if(fd == -1){ perror("unable to open serial port"); return -1; } //setting baud rate tcgetattr(fd, &options); cfsetispeed(&options,B9600); cfsetospeed(&options,B9600); options.c_cflag |= (CLOCAL | CREAD); tcsetattr(fd,TCSANOW,&options); fcntl(fd,F_SETFL,0); //setting blocking read nBytesRead = read(fd,buffer,20);
options.c_cc[VMIN] = 20; // block until 20 characters are read

The overarching framework for this initiative is the Habitat 141 project, which aims to rehabilitate a vast tract of land in southeast Australia about the size of all of England and Scotland. This project will explore the integration of bioenergy plantations into agricultural systems and the feasibility of generating energy locally to reduce the local carbon footprint of the community.
Using strong networks, Greening Australia and the University of Melbourne will bring together leading farmer groups, landholders, leaders in the bioenergy industry and academic researchers, to undertake a feasibility assessment based on triple-bottom-line environmental, social and economic impacts. The landscape analysis conducted by this project will generate clear guidelines for landholders wishing to integrate tree crops into their business model.
The project focuses on two ways to harness carbon markets and bioenergy for reforestation: biochar and bioenergy. Biochar is a carbon-rich solid product resulting from heating natural organic materials such as crop waste, woodchips, manure or other organic waste, in a high temperature oxygen-limited environment. It is essentially charcoal made from organic materials, however biochar is used primarily for the long-term capture and storage of carbon (biosequestration), rather than for fuel. It also has agricultural applications. Because biochar is a very stable form of carbon, it can be used to draw carbon down from the atmosphere, and can reduce the impact of farming since it can sequester carbon in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years. In addition, biochar improves soil tilth and fertility by absorbing nutrients for plant growth and increases water retention, and reducing the amount of fertilizer needed. The integration of biochar into the farming system can potentially assist in tightening the energy/carbon loop.
Bioenergy is renewable energy derived from biological sources, such as woody matter. As part of the biochar production process, bioenergy in the form of heat and gas is released. Scientists on this project are studying syngas (which refers to "synthetic gas" or "synthesis gas"), the type of combustible fuel generated from the production of biochar.

There is no question that leveling in an MMO is one of the main features of any game. In his latest column, Matt Miller talks about levels and leveling and much more. See what Matt has to say before launching into the comments to continue the discussion.
The "level cap" of an MMO is an important statistic to many people. These people will judge an MMO using just this bullet point. When Dungeons and Dragons Online launched with "10 levels", a vast majority of players wrote it off as not having enough content. The fact that each "level" was subdivided with bonuses and perks for each partial level achieved was something that they wouldn't even know unless they played the game (or had someone tell them, as I did trying to convince my friends to play).
Read more Matt Miller: Levels.
"We as MMO gamers need to get past the concept of levels = content."
Levels are important, but disive a game with "level sectore" is a bad idea ..
Levels are the absolute dumbest thing to be introduced into MMO's ever. Give me a skill based game anytime or if you have to have levels at least institute them like Asheron's Call did where they are essentially meaningless beyond indication of progression. AC1 also had a high initial level cap of over 100 which it took years for people to reach.
Gear was not level based in AC1 either, it was skill based. You got points every level to put into your skills. Still one of the better designed MMO's out there for the mechanic design.
UO had no levels and still was a great game. Neither did SWG initially.
How you use levels needs to fit around what you want to do with the game. If you start by saying, we're going to have 50 levels, and then change other game design decisions to fit that, then you're doing it wrong.
I kind of wonder how it would be received if a game said, we're going to take the normal size of levels and subdivide them so that we'll have a level cap of 500.
Levels in a game give me three things: a guide line to follow, a goal while playing, and a sense of achievement for playing. I have played many games since the computer age and the lack of structure, the lack of achievements and the lack of accomplishment equals the lack of fun. That being said the best game that gave me all three was City of Heroes, especially the sense of accomplishment. The badge system was very rewarding for me (probably because of my time in the Boy Scouts), and gave me a secondary goal while I played-even at maxed level. Now one game I play that doesn't have levels but progress based on time/skill points is EVE. Their system will allow you to use any item in the game but it lacks structure as compared to a level based game. I will add they have went to great links to improve this but its no where near the quality of level based games. EVE's system allows you to be anything you want to be as long as you are willing to put in the time to train you skills online or off but it lacks the sense of achievement needed to keep playing. I remember not playing EVE for 30 some odd days while a skill trained up so I could fly a better ship and paid for those 30 days with no sense of accomplishment what so ever-an empty feeling. I might add though EVE is based on PvP with only a minor focus on PvE where the lack of direction comes from and really gets players confused on where to begin. To sum it up, level base games are needed for structure, direction and accomplishment.
Like the poster above me, levels provide a measurement of progress, a goal setting mechanism, and a sense of achievement (which is tied to the progress).
My favorite leveling system was Lineage because although there was a cap, the xp curve was tremendous and took quite a while to meet. It almost seemed the intention was not so much to meet it, but to provide a never ending sense of progression.
I'm not a fan of fast level to cap and then grind gear. Even alternate advancement systems are no replacement for the level progression. At best they supplement it and add depth.
Like another poster said above, how levels and caps are designed should depend on the game mechanics not the other way around. Matt mentioned the paradigm of leveling solo and then grouping at cap. Many games hold to this and though they provide a blend of both while leveling or at cap, the foundation is leveling = solo and cap = group gear grind. That's not fun for me.
What made leveling fun in Lineage was that there was no specific group or solo content. The game was open world pvp with an xp death penalty. People grouped for safety and efficiency. They also grouped to take on tougher mobs than their level would allow.
Most games now aren't fun for me at level cap. I'm not interested in gear grinding or contrived group content. I don't mind systems where leveling is obfuscated or relegated to another system (EVE and TSW), but none of my games right now gives me that same sense of progression that Lineage did.
Have flask; will travel.
What's your opinion of levels? Love them? Hate them? Have a better idea?
A quick indicator of overall character progression is helpful when competing against players or NPCs.
Is gear the answer to gating content? Should content be gated at all?
Expected progression (gear + character exp) and player aptitude should guide difficulty tuning, but I prefer the sandbox "go anywhere" approach (seamless world). Let me wander into dangerous areas and get chased away by aggressive monsters instead of giving me a portal to click on that displays the message "sorry you are not XX level to enter".
Right now MMOs are stuck in a rut, and I'm curious to know what you guys think of this single aspect and how it can grow and modernize.
The path to "modernize" or revolutionize MMO leveling is to look for inspiration from first-generation games such as Ultima Online or Asheron's Call. Place the burden of character experience distribution amongst attributes and skills on the player.
Darkfall: Unholy Wars employs a refreshing level system.
Levels were not the only way to do things from the early days of role playing games. Runequest used a skill based system. In many ways it was totally different from D&D and Chaosium still uses its BRP (Basic Role Playing) system to this day for games.
I am not sure how it would translate into an MMO where players demand instant gratification from the system to compel them forward. MMO's are a competitive sport now and we mine them like gold or drill them like oil until the precious substance is gone and then move on. So a system where skills moved up incrementally from use and a player had REAL choices about how to make their character and what path to follow might not be desirable by the game paying public. Right there is the crux of the issue: convincing the current slate of game payers i.e. those who spend the money on MMOs OR convincing different people to spend money on a non-traditional MMO.
Just My 2 Lunars
"MMO gamers need to get past the concept of levels = content." agreed.
TSW is great with its horizontal development and the "soft levels" of 1-10 (too bad it has a huge gear grind in the end, but that's needed only for Nightmares)
STO has only 5 ranks (6 if you count your rookie starting Lt.) but I always say it has 50 levels because I met the same experience you detailed in the column... When I told a buddy there are 5 "levels" and you're progressing continously as you play he said it's a lame concept. "my bad, slip of the tongue, it has 50 levels, not 5 - oh, that's awesome" I guess you can't help a powerleveler-type of a player...
Levels aren't "content", they are a measuring stick.
TSW isn't levelless, just look at the LFG channel and see all the "QL-X healer/dps/tank LF X dungeon"
That is the truth right there. You cant have a levelless experience n a RPG, since levelless means no development. Be it gear, skill, or just flat leveling, it has to be there.
I do support a more "open concept" to leveling, and very much like the DF:UW, and the TSW system of spending my points how I like. The issue with this is when an inexperienced player misspends, and ends up gimped. This I have experience with as I ended up having to replay through several zones to gain fresh AP/SP to spend to fix my gimpy build. A personal fail I know but still one that drove me from the game.
I don't think that levels are the problem in MMO's today, its more so how the developers fail to realize on what leveling should entail. KingofHartz said this as well, and I'll say it again. Leveling should be your tutorial of the game. Leveling should provide you all the tools to learn how to play your character, while progressing thru the story of said game. It's when developers get waaaaay to into all of their quests; they end up forgetting what players are going to do after they just breezed thru their 300 hundred quests in 24 hours. There has to be that sweet spot where you are satisfied with what you just accomplish leveling thru the game, but then have the whole world unlocked to you on what to do next. And that's where I think most games miss their mark……..
That being said I think the main problem with MMO's right now is the lack of progression systems after you reach the level cap. Yes purples are nice and all, but I think it's vital that games start having ways to power up your character aside from getting purples.
I'll use your CoH for example . The Incarnate system was probably one of the best after level cap progression ideas I've seen thus far. Although unfinished, whenever I got that new power or passive on my character, I was excited because I knew that getting it, would make me that much more powerful. That to me was pretty groundbreaking, because getting excited over something that wasn't a piece of gear was not the norm…….
DCUO is another game ill mention because after you hit cap, you still had ways to progress your character. Now they may have killed two birds with one stone, with having one of the only achievement systems actually mean something, other than titles and mounts. Skill points gave you that extra edge in that game, and since they were tied to achievements, it also gave you a reason to get out in the world and want to have them, other than just for your epeen.
But yea developers need to stop making their game all about the levels and see it for what it is, a tutorial. It should progress you thru the story while teaching you how to play your character, it should not be the majority of your game.
"all too often gamers will look at the level cap of a game and determine if it is worth their time"
Do they really? I do pretty much the opposite. I look at what a game will require me to do at the level cap then decide if that's something I'd enjoy. If it is (usually means it has some kind of RvR system and little to no raiding), then it doesn't really matter to me whether the level cap is 40, 50, 80, or 100. The pace of leveling is different from game to game anyway so level 50 in one game could take more time to reach than level 80 in another.

I have to say, I love levels. I hate reaching the level-cap in a game as I feel that it usually means the story has largely finished and everything I do has little purpose from that point. I don't care for gear-grinding, personally I don't care what sword or breastplate my character is rocking, as long as I feel I'm progressing up that level ladder.
I'd love there to be an almost unattainable amount of levels so that you could continually progress, but as I mentioned, this would have to be tied into an ongoing story so would be impractical.

Levels are good and bad.
Having a goal and feeling that you are making progress is good.
No being able to play with your friends/guild because of a difference in level is bad.
Levels are great! I personally hate power-leveling. I like taking strolls through the countryside. I enjoy questing if the zone and story are interesting. I absolutely HATE doing 10 quests in a zone, only to find out that I have just out-leveled it and the quests will no longer bring me A) XP and relative quest rewards.
I like playing with friends too, and I don't like outleveling them. However, I do like the feeling of being a god when I visit a n00b area to pwn the level 11 elite that absolutely destroyed me when I was level 10. I played GW2 and found the "down-leveling" more of an annoyance than fun. I admit, I am talking out both ends (I want to complete zones without outleveling and I also want n00bs zones to quest in as a slightly higher leveled GOD!)
I want levels. I want skills that I earn with levels. I want points to customize other skills when I level to make me somewhat unique from other Wizards, Warlocks, or Warriors, but I think the OP misses the mark a little when focusing on levels vs. skill based systems.
Let me explain. Minecraft is not level-based, is a sandbox 8-bit adventure, and has tons of people run around creating worlds for other to play in. WoW is arguably one of tthe best theme-park P2P with levels and character customization (maybe not so much now that the classes and talent system has been so homogenized). Both games have had grand success. Both games have had customers from the same player base, but neither game does both skills/crafting or character development/story simultaneously. Devs...be the first company to do both and you have found your cash-cow.
Oh...just don't instance every-fucking-thing. Keep the world alive, malleable and full of surprises, with seemless maps, surprise developer intervention (I just dropped a level 9000 Ogre on your city), and have a sense of humor. Last thing...let us kite world bosses into n00bville. Everyone likes those spontaneous griefing events.

my idea of this theory is, make the manga's hero naruto compared equal to the sage, so i thought what all can be a power up for naruto.
1. i just made it a point that naruto can be a perfect candidate for rinnegan.
2. and also i wanted to project him a better sage on par with rikudo. since he is already considered to be a point higher than jiraiya on sage training.
3. and also a similar person as jinchuriki like the sage himself
1. moon eye plan
Madara's plan is to gather all the tailed beasts in order to fuse them back into their original form, the Ten-Tailed Beast. He will then become jinchūriki to the Ten-Tails giving him immense power and the ability to project his Mangekyo Sharingan on to the moon. He intends to use the moon, the prison of the Ten-Tail's body, to cover the world in an "Infinite Tsukuyomi".
2. get the rinnegan
he plans to get the rinnegan
->a power up
to conquer the world (lol) which may also includes the controlling of tailed beasts.
thats it DUDE

|In response to Re: WARM WATER COMING FROM SHOWER HEAD
Thanks very much. I will give it a try...
: The small knob will come off, either it snaps off or has a screw. Under it is a round plastic piece with teeth that engages similar teeth in the large handle. You can pull it out and turn it further to the left and reinstall it to allow more hot water while still controlling the maximum temperature possible. I do not suggest removing it entirely since that will bypass the maximum temperature safety feature, but if no small children or elderly people use the shower, then it is not quite as important to control the maximum temperature.
: : I don't know the model (didn't see any #'s), but, I can describe it...round monitor saying "Delta - on-volume control-off-Monitor" around the edge (circular). It also has a brown, scalloped, circular knob in the middle (for temp control saying "temperature control" w/ arrows going down both sides) and a straight lever (handle) that goes to the side for on/off.
: :
: : : : Hi,
: : : : I am REALLY hoping you can help me, and soon. I have been having a problem getting enough of "hot" water from the shower head (probably over 4 months). I turn it all the way to the end (it's a Delta) but, still it's warm. Sometimes, (I can count on one hand), it has come out hot, where I come out of the shower pink (how I'd like it to be all the time). I just had it fixed, too. Don't know exactly what the guy did, but he put a new part on the handle (knob) end of things. It comes out a lot "harder" now, but not necessarily "hotter."
: : : : Please write back soon. If there's a way to adjust it myself, please give a tip. My landlady will not go for any other repairs. Thanks so much....

A Little Too Big, Not True to Size
"Received the Snowlions and was surprised how big they are. I wear a 6.5 and no bigger, although I wanted a little sock-room, so I ordered the 7 and got a lot of sock room; so much so, I would send them back, except I don't think sending them back to get a 6 would do any good. I may have to think about either keeping them or looking at another boot. It's a little hard to walk in them, if I kept them even in thicker socks.I would have to say though they are a nice looking boot and well made for the price."

Live in the Arctic? You need these boots.
"I LOVE THESE BOOTS. My boyfriend bought these for me because we get a lot of snow in these parts, and I am so grateful he did! These boots do the trick. They are so warm, waterproof, and they aren't slippery on the bottom like a lot of the boots tend to be. If you get a lot of snow where you live, you really do need these boots."

The most recent short interest data has been released by the NASDAQ for the 03/15/2013 settlement date, and we here at Dividend Channel like to sift through this fresh data and order the underlying components of the S&P 500 by "days to cover." There are a number of ways to look at short data, for example the total number of shares short; but one metric that we find particularly useful is the "days to cover" metric because it considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares typically traded. The number of shares short is then compared to the average daily volume, in order to calculate the total number of trading days it would take to close out all of the open short positions if every share traded represented a short position being closed.

In our new rank based on the most recent short interest data from NASDAQ, Vulcan Materials Co (NYSE: VMC) has taken over the position of #36 most shorted S&P 500 component, from Discovery Communications, Inc. (NASD: DISCA) which is now in the #70 spot.
The "days to cover" at 03/15/2013 was 7.95 for VMC, and 6.35 for DISCA; this compares to the average across all S&P 500 components of 3.82 (up from the average back on the 02/28/2013 settlement date of 3.35). The chart below shows the movement over time of the "days to cover" values of both VMC and DISCA, versus the average S&P 500 component.
Below is a chart showing the relative positions of VMC versus DISCA over time within the 500 S&P 500 components, with #1 representing the component with the highest "days to cover" value (most heavily shorted) and #500 representing the component with the lowest "days to cover" value (least heavily shorted):

An agreement between Modern Construction and Emery County for a notice to proceed was signed at the April 12 commission meeting. This is the company constructing the information building at the Buckhorn Information Center.
The commission heard from Gina Sitterud of the Emery County Community Theatre. She said their recently completed production of Oliver was a great success with large attendance. The commission approved a donation of $250 for the Community Theatre. Three big events are planned for the Emery County Aquatics Center including the teen day the Thursday of the fair and the graduation night party on May 26. Also in conjunction with the fair the free family swim day will take place the Wednesday of the fair on Aug. 3 with an ice cream social after the swim day. The commission approved the waiver of the pool fees for these activities to take place. The Emery County Fair Theme for 2011 is Building Dreams, Friendships and Memories. The fair board is looking for grand marshals to ride in the parade. They are looking for the longest married couple in the county.
The commission opened bids for lawn care for the county libraries and the road department. The commission tabled the decision stating they will allow the library board to decide on a course of action in regards to the lawn care. The contract for lawn care begins now and runs until Oct. 15.
The commission advertised for members for the weed and mosquito board and the Emery County fire protection special service district. Bart Cox was appointed to the planning commission board and that board is in need of one more member. Members of the weed and mosquito board include: Dennis Worwood, Jeff Horrocks, Mike Ralphs, John Sehestedt and Scott Allred.
The commission approved the engineering for the south Moore road fencing project and all land owners have been contacted about the project.
The commission agreed to table the ratification of a letter of support for OHV travel on SR-264 to connect existing trails. Ray Petersen, Emery County public lands director said he contacted the Sanpete County commissioner and she was barely aware of the issue. Petersen believes the matter should be addressed by the Emery County trails committee. Commissioner Jeff Horrocks said there are letters of support from Carbon and Sanpete counties. Petersen said this same issue came up in Huntington Canyon and the forest service created a trail along the highway to specifically keep OHVs off the same highway as full sized vehicles. He wonders if something similar can be done along this stretch. "There is no urgency to put full sized vehicles and OHVs together on the same road," said Petersen. The road in question is at the top of Fairview Canyon where the snowmobile parking lot area is located. There is a stretch there of approximately 2 and a half miles where the OHVs would travel on the main road to access trails in the area.
Mike McCandless said, "There is a problem there that needs to be corrected, but don't rush."
The commission approved the agreement of associated costs with the Crandall Canyon land exchange between Emery County and the forest service. The mining company has agreed to pick up any costs associated with the land exchange.
The commission approved the ratification of application for a free use permit for the Reeder View gravel pit. Gravel from this pit will be used for the Reeder Road and other uses.
The commission discussed the old county road shop building demolition. All communications equipment has been moved from there and all storage items. The building is located at the old site of the sheriff's office. The building needs to be removed and is an eyesore. An asbestos test will need to be conducted before the demolition of the building can take place.
The commission approved a cell phone reimbursement for Sgt. Bliss Mead of the sheriff's office. He was the only sergeant not receiving the reimbursement and as the sergeant in charge of dispatch this needed to be corrected.
An agreement between Modern Construction and Emery County for a notice to proceed was signed. This is the company constructing the information building at the Buckhorn Information Center.
The commission approved an extension for a property on the May tax sale.
Under the citizens concern category it was mentioned there needs to be a large sign advertising the Emery County Aquatics Center. Visitors to the area have no idea there is such a nice facility available for their use.
Sheriff Greg Funk reported on the Every 15 Minutes activity held at the high school. The exercise depicted a mock car accident by an impaired driver and the subsequent turmoil that followed the accident. Several students have talked about it and how good it was.
Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth said she attended the exercise as well, the accident and the assembly, she thought it was a very effective reminder for students. She thanked everyone who worked to make it a successful exercise.
In the commission reports Pitchforth said they are busy working on the county fair. She attended the woman's conference at CEU which was a very nice event. She attended the new PD Ace Hardware store ribbon cutting in Green River. The community center in Green River received a new coat of paint. Work is beginning on the Miss Emery pageant on July 16. Contestants are needed. On April 30 a four person scramble will be held for Miss Emery to raise funds for Elise DeBry to attend the Miss Utah pageant. It is $200 per team and includes green fees, cart and lunch. Call the golf course or Patsy at 381-2431 or Laurie at 381-2119 to register.
Commissioner James Nelson said he attended the Physical Facilities Management Conference with Dennis Fuller, county maintenance supervisor. He was amazed by all the different rules and regulations which the county must adhere to in the operation of their buildings. The sheriff's office is using the aquatics center for some of their underwater rescue training. New picnic tables for the aquatics center have been ordered and will be placed on the grass area.
Nelson attended a Castleland RC&D meeting in Green River where they toured the Vetere farms. He said the RC&D has been funded through 2011. They are a non-profit organization that struggles to stay afloat. He said also visited the new hardware store in Green River and bought parts there. Nelson attended the media day for the fire trucks at Ghost Rock and tourists stopped to take pictures of the eight new trucks. The best part he said is they are all paid for.
He said Ray Petersen from the public lands council took him on a field trip to see a wilderness study area.
The museum board has rewritten the museum rental agreement. They have also asked the Division of Wildlife Resources if they have any quality stuffed animals they might donate for display at the museum.
Horrocks said the commissioners have met with UDOT and a substantial amount of road work will be done in the county this road season. Work will be done on the Green River Main Street. The lines will need to be repainted at the Huntington Airport for the new entrance into the airport. There will be acceleration and turn lanes in the Ferron area as well as work in Castle Dale.

Like most people said use Winrar. It's really good and I cant live without it xD. It isnt free but like mIRC you get a pop-up window (this one without waiting, so it really isnt a problem).
how do u download winrar and is it free?
Sigs and Ava by Ravona
I know there are some free versions of winrar on the web... If i find the link, i will post it later, or else i upload the instalator to mediafire
~My DeviantArt Account|My Mangashare Gallery~
Are you a One Piece Fan? Then click HERE, you wont regret it!!!
Winrar is free, but a dumb pop-up box always comes to say it is free. It is kind of like unregistered IRC. Here's a registered one: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FAHV3H8T
Currently reading/watching:
One Piece, Naruto, Shingeki no Kyojin, Kenichi, Hajime No Ippo The Rising, Hunter x Hunter
WinRAR is not freeware. It is shareware ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shareware ). Meaning unless you buy it or crack it (which is most probably illegal in most places), it will nag you to buy it.
I recommend you use 7-zip ( http://www.7-zip.org/ ) or if you like a program with a shiny GUI, PeaZip ( http://peazip.sourceforge.net/ ) (both are freeware and open source). They can extract ZIP, RAR and 7z, among other file compression formats.
7-zip and PeaZip can also compress to the superior 7z format (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compari..._of_efficiency), which is also an open format, unlike RAR, which due to its proprietary (non free & non open source) nature can only be compressed by WinRAR and other programs that are licensed to do so by the WinRAR author.
Also, when compressing ZIP files, 7-Zip uses a home-brewed DEFLATE encoder which is often able to achieve higher compression levels than the more common DEFLATE implementation of zlib ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7-zip#O...ported_formats ).
@afro thunda
I think as long as he doesn't make it a habit, (like some other guy, who doesn't read Naruto and still posts in every thread in the section) it is ok.
Ava & Sig created by Maxv Credits to IIDX v
and i got it from the same place as that link
is there a free one that isnt a trial?
idk which to get, i just need one thatll be in english, my computer runs on mostly 64bit stuff

ok i made an account just so i could share this theory as im always reading these forums, and nobody thought of this but has questioned it
Ok, one of the key characteristics of Tobi is his mask that displays only ONE sharingan, and this sharingan has NEVER been seen deactivated. However we know that Tobi had always had 2 sharingan due to his fight with Konan and the use of Izanagi through the right hidden eye.
my theory is that this hidden eye was permanantly set as EMS, just as the displayed eye was permanantly activated. It was through this that Tobi was able to become intangible and teleport without the use of handsigns or any apparant eye jutsu. Tobi hid this eye as it was NOT the eye of Madara, and so showing it would foil his false identity. i mean think about, if your going to show one eye why not the other?
Now here's the important part, Tobi used this eye during the fight with Konan, so i believe that in order to survive that battle, Tobi sacrificed his time/space jutsu, knowing that he would gain the rinnegan anyway. Have we seen him teleport since his battle with Konan? or has he been jumping through trees with his 6 paths trailing behind him?
One big question now is, if this theory is true, who's EMS is providing the time/space jutsu?
1 small flaw in this is why Tobi used the EMS eye for Izanagi and not the ordinary one. perhaps you cannot control which eye is used but then again i think Danzou intentionally saved Shisui's eye from being used by Izanagi.
Thoughts everyone?

Comments: I read other reviews and went with a half size down from what I have been wearing. Perfect fit. These are great shoes and a suitable replacement for the Nimbus I have been wearing for years. The cushioning is awesome. I did not experience any slippage in the heel. If you like ultra soft cushioning in a neutral trainer, Go for this shoe.
From: Mark, LA, CA, USA. July 9th 2014
Comments: I ran with the triumph 9, then changed to 10 and purchased my 3ed paire just recently. I have been running with it for the past 2 years training and competing in 1 marathon an 3 half marathons. It is the best shoe for my fit. I'm 1.73 m tall wiegh 63Kg. and wear a 9.5 size. I run between 40-80 Km per week.
From: steve, Tel Kazir, Israel. 3/10/14
Comments: Love this shoe. No heel slip at all for me. Feels much more supportive than the Launch I usually run in. I feel like the sole is just firmer so it cushions my feet more. I plan to run a marathon in them soon.
From: Leo, Houston, TX
Comments: I am a loyal Saucony customer. Loved the Triumph 9, and owned 2 pair. Purchased the 10, stayed with the same size and width. At first they really felt strange and slightly odd on my feet. However, I could not deny that it was a better running shoe than the 9 after an 11 and 13 mile run. My feet were surprisingly comfortable for the entire distance.
From: Frank, Fredericksburg, VA, USA
Comments: I find the Saucony 10 to be a fairly stable neutral running shoe. I do not run with socks and have never had a blister. Love them.
From: Christopher, Johannesburg
Comments: Love this shoe! Use it on my extra long runs.
From: Kalmar, Sweden
Comments: I'm a 7.5 D and ordered 1/2 size small because of reviews. 7 fit perfect. Even though the reviews said they had heel slip, I had to try them myself. Gave them a test on the treadmill. Major heel slip. So bad my socks would pull down into the heel of the shoe. Laces too short to rig for tighter heel. I'm glad I have some extra Triumph 9's on the shelf. This is the first time I've ever sent shoes back for a refund. I would not recommend the 10's.
From: Huskey, Galveston, TX
Comments: I tried on this shoe recently, but I did not buy them due to: 1. Loose fitting heel and 2. The tongue was way too short and would obviously slip down when you run. Felt as cushioned or more than the Triumph 9 model, but these two problems made it a no go, for me!
From: David, Tempe, AZ
Comments: I agree with Iris, lots of heel slip with this shoe (and I don't wear orthotics), in fact, in my 30+ years of running I cannot recall a shoe with so much heel slippage. If you're looking for a neutral 8mm cushioned shoe from Saucony, consider the Echelon 3 - cushioning is just as good and the heel locks tight.
From: David, Ashburn, VA, USA
Comments: This shoes doesn't have the heel depth and padding as the 9. I wear men's wide and the orthotics don't fit down in the shoe. Waste of money if you wear orthoics.
From: Iris
Comments: Awesome shoe. Great combination of weight and cushion.
From: Chad, Frisco, TX
Comments: A much better ride, more stable heel with a snug fit. A much better shoe than the 9. If you have beefy feet you may need to go wider or up a half size. The last is rockered a bit more too. Great stuff!
From: Edward, Abbotsford, B.C., Canada

Exciting Shoe
"The color speaks volume! However, they run very short. Please order 1-whole size up. I normally wear 8.5. The 9 is very snug. So, I'm returning for an exchange of 9.5"

"One thing that I generally NEVER have to worry about is my shoe size, however I could not even squeeze my foot into this shoe. I have narrow heels and normally slip out of Pumps, however this shoe did not come close to getting on my foot. It is adorable and I paid extra for 2 day shipping so I could have them for a Christmas party tonight, but instead they are boxed up waiting to be returned."
