We all know there is no perfect MMO that everyone would enjoy, look at the crop we have now X amount love this one and X amount hates that one.
What I want to hear is ideas of elements that would make a great MMO in your opinion, they can be from other games or off the top of your head.
1) True battle of good and evil with the ability of switching sides (1 time only) I know EQ2 did this.
I like this because I may want to play as a dark elf, but why do I have to be evil to do so? Or perhaps as you build your character you are given a series of questions and scenarios, how you answer would determine what side you belong.
Also I will throw into this part that I want interesting races, yes put in the typical elf human dwarf etc. But I loved how Shadowbane added some very non standard races to play. I want choices and alot of customization not just at creation, your character SHOULD stand out at every part of the game.
2) The world changes around you sometimes for the worst. (I know it would take a team to keep this going)
I'm not just talking about major events but also small occurences. Seasons that actually change, dynamic weather, large scale dynamic events. What if in a game the weather changes and there in the coding is the small possibility that a hurricane might form. That hurricane then goes over X spot on the map and wipes out a bridge, thus a quest is formed, help rebuild the bridge.
The quest from this could have multiple paths such as crafters gain knowledge to help in their trade from doing crafting on the bridge. Non-crafters might be gathering materials or chopping trees for wood or even protecting workers, but are rewarded with an increase to their stats.
3) I Remeber this from Daggerfall
I would love to see things such as if you are fighting werewolves or vampires that there is a chance from the creatures special attack to be infected. Then you would have X amount of time to find a cure (timer based, but not just in-game time) If you follow the branching path of the quest you find a cure. If not you are now cursed and perhaps even now made to goto the evil side.
4) True exploration
I want there to be hidden out of the way areas that people stumble upon (Yes eventually everyone would learn these) perhaps a small cemetary in an abandoned town, finding it could be triggered or skill based (think putting points in search) You find that while searching a mausoleum you come across an old stair leading under into an elaborate cave system. Quest is then triggered such as crazy mage has made his home here and is creating zombies that have been inhabiting the area.
I want a true crafting component, with discovery of rare components or rare items. A system where you will create the hilt of a sword, the pommel and the blade. I want there to be choices on how that weapon looks, a system where there are 25+ different blades. I would like to see an enchanter who you take your self made sword to and ask (hopefully it's a friend who will do it for you) to enchant it. Enchantments would add not only stats to the weapon but also particle effects, but even further into it there will be discovery. Your friend the enchanter decides to experiment on the blade, knowing using an ice core and a fire core makes a cold flame weapon, but subs the ice core with mystic water. He has now discovered liquid fire, the particle effect is a coll lava dripping looking sword. Also I want rare recipes perhaps hidden in that tomb you disturbed, now you may be the only person on your server to have this...you are popular until the next big cool recipe is discovered.
6) not being locked into set roles
If you want to be a mage you study magic, want to be a warrior pick up a sword and put on that armor. I don't like having to pick a class and then play it until X level to learn I don't really like it. If I want to be a battle mage, then I can study those skills.
Maybe not perfect but please add your own ideas.

with associated changes to the world e.g. copy rifts but make them seasonal i.e. fire rifts opening in a desert zone in the summer, life type rifts in wooded zones in the spring etc, and / or have seasonal mobs, npcs, quests etc, and on something like a game year == 12 week cycle.
similarly do more with day / night cycles, shorter but darker night cycles with different mobs and maybe npcs / quests too.

"Don't tell me what to do! , you're not my mod"
Saying invented by me.
1) Gameplay/Skill Structure, and housing of Ultima Online.
2) UI design and modability of WoW.
3) Persistant PvP of DAoC.
That would be the perfect MMO for me.
all items BoP
change faction (limiting 1 time per month)
change class (need to start over from lvl 1 to work)
To me the perfect game, or near perfect at least, could be achieved quite easily.
Take the world building / sandbox elements of a game such as Xsyon or Wurm
Combine it with Darkfall's combat, pvp, looting, etc
Add some good, original lore and PvE content (unique types of quests, dungeons, etc) and some quest designing features for the players (kind of like Ryzom and CoH)
Add in an experienced dev team who can give the game proper coding / bug fixing and some nicer graphics without completely killing performance, and a user friendly UI.
I would make a historical game. No magic, elves or similar stuff. To be honest are humans way scarier than any "real" monsters and a MMO with no magic really would make things rather interesting.
First of all you had to put more work into melee, when you take away magic you have to put more focus in the stuff there really is. I would have a melee system with 10 attacks. 3 Basic attacks and 7 dynamic attacks that would differ depending on what you did last, your stance, your opponents stance and similar things. And yes, those would be real attacks you actually make with a sword. I could write a lot more but lets keep it short.
Then no healers means you have to manage your health better. Parrying and dodging actually needs to work well.
I would also put most of your health into the armor and whenever it got pierced you would get some negative temporary buff.
I fear that making bows and crossbows handaimed would be a balance problem so I think I would stay clear of that.
Add a high focus on crafting (including the option to customize the skin of everything you make), player owned store and farms, guild owned towns, thiefs hideouts and castles. Guild run tournaments, guild conflicts, War between kingdoms and more. Of course on a "nice" server large wars would be rare between player run nations and guilds would have to accept a challenge.
I would also use a rather complicated trade systems between player run kingdoms (or guild alliances) where they could own mines, fields and so on. Smaller guild would be able to build watchtowers, small villages and similar while larger could build cities.
I think the PvE side would be mainly handled by dynamic events, some place bound like in GW2, other more like P&P random encounter at random times. And while some indiana jones styled graves with traps is historically so-so I would still add a bunch of them.
I try to imagine WoW wheres only 1 Inn ,Loch Modans Inn.
*player limit 100 ,doorkeeper wont let in if its full and theres queue.
*when you go inside then only Inn chat is active.
*beer can run out.
*if you get too smashed you will get kicked out or can fight against doorkeeper.
giving meaning to things.
Without meaning these things doesnt exist.
Let's internet
Crafting -I would like to see an in depth crafting system in a game. I liked Vanguards system but would take it further. I don't believe the best gear in a game should come from raiding. Loot drops would be substitued for compent drops (somewhat like what SWG had but better) that a crafter would use to make an item. I would like to see some form of success and failure return to crafting. Different levels of success would be nice too.
Player housing - Open world housing would be great in a game. It wouldn't have to be as open as UO. Something like housisng available in player built cities would work. The game could combine open world housing and instanced "apartments" to cities. This would add value to the open world houses.
An evolving world - This is my biggest want in a game. Recent releases are leading towards this but none have got it right yet. I like the dynamic nature of newer games but they are limited in that nothing overly consequential happens. Eventually things are reset to the static beginning or a static end. I would love to see a system with over-world dungeon system where the dungeon forces grow and aren't always in the same spot. Ex. Orcs or undead begin to take over an area and grow stronger if they aren't dealt with eventually leading to the destruction of cities etc.
Skills - A game that uses a skill based system instead of level based system would be great. I would want experience in the game for an achievement type system but the main skills of a character would be dependent on the skills he or she has gained. A modified UO skill system with an EQ/EQ2 type AA system.
My basics for a perfect MMORPG are a cummulation of several good ideas coming from MMORPGs or classic Pen&Paper RPGs.
1. Instant freeform character creation. You simply choose from a variety of skills and distribute skillpoints to them. You can create up to three characters on an account.
2. No characterprogression and levels. Your character doesn't advance by levelling up. You don't gain additional skills or skillpoints. Only you - the players - get better at playing the game.
3. No premade factions. Players are free to create, join and switch groups/clans/guilds/alliances.
4. Heritage and permadeath.
4.1. Characters are no superheros and get older. Every character will die because of their age at some point. The maximum age of a character can be influenced with medical treatments.
4.2. Money is allways stored in your global bank-account. All characters on an account are linked to each other, carry the same surname and access the same global bank-account.
5. Continents, travelling and transporting.
5.1. PvE-continents are the place to play it safe. You can do some questing, exploration and run dungeons. PvP in these areas is restricted to arenas. Ressources found are limited to low and medium quality.
5.2. PvP-continents are the place where players fight for territories and ressources. Players can built guarded headquarters and factories, which are prone to be destroyed or conquered by others. Ressources found are of the highest quality.
5.3. Items and ressources cannot be sent to other areas by mail. They need to be transported by players. Only money is stored on a global account.
5.4. Travelling on continents is done by foot or groundbased vehicles. Traveling between continents is done by boat. There's no flying vehicles.
6. Crafting, ressources and items.
6.1. All items needs to be crafted and prone to be destroyed. Items loose durability over time when used and will break at some point.
6.2. Blueprints for crafting are found in dungeons and explorations. Combining blueprints leads to modified items, with different stats. The higher quality ressources used, the better the results.
6.3. Ressources need to be harvested or excavated. Harvestable ressources need to be planted and looked after. The places for excavated ressources are not static. Once a node of excavated ressources is depleted it'll spawn somewhere else.
6.4. Items and ressources have weight and volume. The amount that can be carried around is limited by both.
This is a list of features I'd like to see implemented in a MMORPG. It would be a hybrid of sandbox and themepark, with lot's of teamplay and planning ahead required.
GW2 - I for w/e reason like it the most
UO - Skill system. It allowed for the most customizable "classes" so that you really could play the way you wanted to.
GW2 - For me a system with a skill system from UO that allows you to choose different skills based on your skill level with different weapons and such would be killer.
UO - I like the idea of having a wide variety of pets and having them be unique. In UO mobs spawned with a bit of randomness in there stats within set min and max possibilities. This meant your Dragon wasn't the same as mine. Then on top of that you had to bond them and train them before they were effective in combat. Also things like pack animals, mounts that could fight beside you, and fluff pets that really didn't do anything but go with a theme for your character were a neat addition. I had a necro that tamed and trained spiders, they weren't exactly a huge aid but running around with a pack of spiders in tow was simply awsome.
GW2 - I like the DE's, Dungeons, and World Bosses but I'd remove hearts.
FFXI - In place of hearts add events from FFXI like Garrison, Campaign, and Besieged. These were basically defend against waves of assualting mobs trying to take over a keep, city, or outpost. While akin to DE's these were slightly larger in scale and the Armies attacking varied. Think of a World Boss leading an army of mobs assaulting Lions Arch trying to conquer it. You kill the world boss the siege ended. Refine it and make it have an actual impact on the world.
UO - I'd like to see massive open world dungeons. Something a guild could do together. Have it scale like most things do in UO to the number of players inside.
UO - Again going with UO. I liked the harvesting and refinement of materials and I liked the logic in the gathering process. You skinned animals for their hides/fur. You sheered sheep for their wool. You mined in caves or near or on rocky terrain not just a select few nods in a zone. I also liked the randomness in stats. You got an item, the stats were randomly determined when it was generated. I like the idea of random stats allowing players to create at least somewhat unique things. Give them set paramiters and increase for a High Success and decrease for a low success making it so people can have a chance of making exceptional and sub par items. Better your skill the less likely of a sub par item and the better chance of an exceptional item.
MO - I like the idea of combining different blades and hilts and such to make unique weapons. MO failed to pull it off well, if done right it could make for an interesting and more expressive crafting system.
GW2 - I like the way they've done the upgrades, they have an impact but are limited enough they can't be OP.
Social items/Town clothes
UO - In UO you could wear a large variety of town clothes. I mean there were a town of pieces of just fluff clothing. Everything from formal wear to peasant style of clothing. Expand on that and the dye system I loved. Combined the Dye system from GW2 and UO and I'll be a happy camper. I also wouldn't mind a bit more customization ala CO or APB.
UO - I liked UO's housing. It was an actual existing thing in the world. Everyone could walk by and see it. It was an expression of who you were and what you've done. Trophies from beasts you killed, treasure troves, furniture that could be used ti sit in, board games that could be played. It was a social thing and even practical things could be put in there. Crafting equipment like forges, Fountains for blessing bandages, etc. It was an actual thing, it wasn't an instanced off little "Yeah you have it... but it doesn't really matter" kind of things.
GW2 - I like sPvP, but I think the WvW could be improved.
Instead of WvW I'd like to see something akin to UO's Feluca with elements of Shadow Bane done on a mega server like EvE. Mesh the 3 and I think you'd have something I'd enjoy more.
GW1 - GvG is a must.
Loot and Itemization
UO - Logical loot, this is a must for me in a perfect game. Random stats on items and equipment found is another feature I enjoy.
I could go on, but I'm going to take a break for now. I may add more later. But thats a good start for me.
I could go a couple of different ways. Take SWTOR with there great story lines and production, add SWG elements like Jump to Lightspeed space game and refine it, add SWG harvesting and crafting, put in a diplomacy style of sphere like they have in Vanguard, Love to see an AOC or tera combat system and bada bing a Super theme park mmo,
Bring back shadow bane and just fix the horrible Lag and hitching and crashes, add some harvesting and crafting elements like in SWG or even FE and wha laaa. for those of you not familair with Shadow bane it was a sandbox with very few quests,it had full Pvp and grouping was a must and easy to do since you had to do it to survive
- Developers who dont equate sandbox with pvp full loot (I dont want forced pvp. Period.)
- A balance between themepark and sandbox
- A big world feeling to it
- Bioengineer crafting like pre NGE CU SWG
- Excellent UI
- Great guild utilities
- Excellent addon compatability
- Dungeon finder tool like WoW (instant group content - LFG spam is NOT being social)
A game with a harsh death penalty but at the same time nothing bad happens when you die so players aren't upset.
A game with a skill tree so you could design the character you want but at the same time an entirely rigid class base system.
A game with no trinity, but a game with the trinity so people would feel comfortable.
A world that is wide open, free roaming, no instances while have a linear progression with many instances and guidance so no one gets lost.
No handholding, while making sure players know where every NPC and location is and what they should do.
FFA PvP while forcing no one to PvP.
No leveling, while have there be years worth of leveling, while allowing people to get to end game in a week.
Of course satirical in the fact that the reason so many people hate so many MMOs is that unlike other genres it is a wide base that wants truly opposite things making any "perfect" game 100% impossible.
Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...
Working on Social Strategy MMORTS (now Launched!) http://www.worldalpha.com
1. Structured PVP - Take away please!
Take away scenarios, battlegrounds, warzones, structured PVP or whatever it is called. I love a game of this every now and then but often it turns out to become so grindy or just straight up a farm when you're with your friends or vice versa when facing premades. I know they are there for a reason. People that want to access quick pvp can just log in and do this. People that want fair numbers on both sides can join this. And like I said, I have played it a million times myself, mostly for fun but also for getting gear or ranks. In the end when you with your premade it's not fair at all anyway.
The reason I don't want this in games is because my favourite game of all time DAOC didn't have it. They had zones and people went there to PVP. Sometimes your premade (Gankgroup) faced other premades just for pvp-points and braggingrights and other times you faced 2-3 your numbers and still managed to pull it off if you had a good group. You roamed the frontier in hope of finding enemies. Stealthers guarded bridges, walls etc to get their action. If you wanted PVP then you simply went to the frontier.
Now I know that Warhammer and GW2 and some other games have tried the same ideas that DAOC had with a frontier with keeps, sieges etc. But what they also did wrong was that they had the structured PVP and people rather joined that when something went wrong instead of trying again. There were no pride for your realm. In DAOC when someone took a keep in your lands you made sure to take it back and epic battles started.
Another problem Warhammer had was that they gave points for taking empty keeps. So the armies just went to the zone with no defenders took all keeps there for points and gear then the two sides just changed side and took empy undefended keeps again. Just give points for killing. Give more if it is while taking or defending a keep. That way people want to fight.
And please do not do cross-over server pvp. It takes away the chance for some good pvpers to become legends. I loved that in DAOC. When you saw some killspam from a famous enemy you made sure to go out and hunt for him. Because if you took him down it made you famous on your server.
2. Make PVP matter.
In SWTOR early on the game rewarded players with too good gear. I hate that. If you get your ranks you should just get a little better gear (but more cool looking) instead of getting gear that helps you to just stand still hitting one button and still win versus newbies. In DAOC you got pvp-abilities that were different for each class. I loved this system and it made people go out and pvp just to get them.
3. Allow players to make their own dungeons with a tool
This would be a cool feature and helping the developers to get enough time to create their own end game material.
4. Crafting matters
I want crafting to matter. It should be hard to reach max but when you do people will seek you up to buy your favours. Nowadays all just rush to max in crafting and since all have it no one want to pay for your services.
5. Unique Powerful crafting recipies
Let it drop unique powerful crafting recipies that just a few on each server might get.
6. Three Factions
Just like in DAOC. More fun PvP then or Realm vs Realm as they said in DAOC.
7. Many Classes
8. Housing and other small things that makes the game more enjoyable.
9. A bit tougher PVE. Don't let people get what they want without working for it.
It would have to be a mix of these games
Final Fantasy XI - for the story tellling and cut-scenes as well as the events
WoW - for the mighty lore It has handed to It's players, a long with the world that really feels like It's alive.
Guild Wars 2 - purely to do fluidity of gameplay, that Is all. (The game It'self Is awful)
EvE online - the PVP, the sandbox aspects and the hardcore aspects. You die, you lose your ship etc.
I want a game that instils both sandbox elements and themepark elements, I want a game rich In lore and knows how to tell the story without the hammy acting and terrible plots (I'm looking at you Guild Wars 2) I want a game where PVP matters and also has consquences.
Basiclally I want something that'll never exist.
This is easy
1. SWG--for its harvesing, crafting and space game
2. WOW--for its performance
3. SWTOR for its fantastic story line, and production values
4.Tera or AOC for Combat
5.Vanguard--for its Diplomacy
6. minecraft for its world building
7. Shadowbane--for its PvP
8. TSW--for its quests
9. Lotro--for its Lore

The only thing I don't like about my iPhone is AT&T's network.
I'm going to preface this blog post by stressing that much of the evidence found within it is purely anecdotal. However, I do have evidence; it's just mainly based on personal experience and TV commercials. My evidence through personal experience is as good as gold. As for the commercials, well, I may need a little more proof.
The thought had been lingering for awhile, but an announcement this week struck a chord that's forced me vocal. It occurred on the day of the launch of Windows Phone 7—the mobile operating system designed to be the smartphone comeback kid for Microsoft. While I'm writing a news story about the launch, skimming the announcement, I see this phrase: "AT&T and T-Mobile stores in the U.S. are now selling Windows Phone 7 devices." That's it for now. Those are the only two carriers.
Now, I believe I have mentioned in previous blog posts that I am a semi-recent iPhone owner. The iPhone, as I'm sure all you savvy m-commerce professionals are aware, is only available on AT&T for now. So by my count, AT&T has nabbed two deals to be a main carrier for two sophisticated and highly sought-after smartphones.
My question: Why?
My iPhone is lovely. The design is intuitive, user-friendly and sleek. But, if you come away with one point in this entire post it would be this: The only thing I don't like about my iPhone is being forced to be on AT&T's network. Let me say it again: The only thing I don't like about my iPhone is being forced to be on AT&T's network.
AT&T drops nearly every call of mine that lasts more than 10 minutes and texts often do not go through. I purchased my iPhone because I want to participate in m-commerce and use apps and the mobile web. However, I feel as though I have to sacrifice the basics—calling and texting—because the iPhone is only available on AT&T. Mobile web users want to talk from time to time, too!
Want evidence? Take a gander at my Facebook page. You'll see a post from my sister: "Too bad AT&T cut our phone call short on Sunday! Miss you!" On Saturday of the same weekend, I was catching up with my pregnant best friend and the call dropped as well. First words when I called my pal back? "I see you're still using the iPhone." Sending a text message successfully also can be a difficult mission. It requires me to stand in a few plotted strategic locations throughout my apartment.
And I'm not the only one.
A few weeks ago my friend excitedly posted on Facebook: "I'm thinking about an iPhone, any friends have thoughts or feedback?"
Responses included:
"As long as you can pay the prices that AT&T charges you for the insanely average service, you will love your iPhone."
"Apple lover. Atnt hater."
"I just read an article in the paper this morning saying that Verizon still plans to start offering the iPhone early next year. If you decide on the iPhone, definitely try waiting for Verizon because AT&T totally sucks."
Ahhh. So it's not just me.
Before I purchased my beautiful iPhone, I always wondered why AT&T focused so much of its marketing efforts on their coverage. Not only 3G network coverage, mind you, but basic coverage. You know the one with the boyfriend in France and the girl by the lake pining away and then she receives a message, or the piece with the orange drapes covering beaches and office buildings to symbolize the vast network? Now I know.
When I was on my not-smart Verizon phone I got reception on a decent amount of Chicago's underground train system. Now that scenario is nothing but a distant dream. I think it says a lot for Apple's designers that I'm sticking with the iPhone despite being pigeon-holed into AT&T's network. If I was on my old Samsung Intensity, I'd be off AT&T in a heartbeat.
I did put some feelers out to my analyst pals who own iPhones to see how their service has been. Nikki Baird, managing partner at Retail Systems Research, noted that living in Denver, she does not experience the same issues as me. However, she followed that with: "I just got back yesterday from a conference in Las Vegas, and if it had not been for WiFi, my iPhone might as well have been a brick for all the good it did me – someone called me during the lunch hour, and I didn't even get the notification of the voicemail until 8pm that night."
To give AT&T a fair shake, I've yet to experience my iPhone much in other cities. And much of the poor coverage feedback I receive is from iPhone owners in and around Chicago. But still, you'd think a wireless carrier would focus on getting it right in a metropolitan city of nearly 8 million, many of whomare tech-loving iPhone touters.
To AT&T's credit, they were quick with a response:
"It's important to note that we're investing more than any other company – we have a planned investment of $18-$19 billion this year, with billions of that investment going to wireless network improvements. We're seeing improved service in many major markets, including Chicago. In addition, we continue to have record-low churn levels, which is a great indicator that customers are very happy with the service that AT&T is providing."
The contact also offered to have me provide my mobile number and investigate problems. I just might try it.
A Microsoft spokesperson said Windows is working with many carriers for Windows Phone 7 and will add Sprint and Verizon in 2011. It also added it's worked with AT&T in the smartphone market since 2002 and AT&T was one of the first carriers first to demonstrate strong support for Windows Phone 7.

Matt Giteau, Carl Hayman, Delon Armitage, Andrew Sheridan, Bakkies Botha and Chris Masoe all start.
Club captain Joe van Niekerk and Pumas skipper Juan Fernandez Lobbe do not feature in the matchday 22.
Botha said he was delighted to be appearing on the European club stage.
"It's a great challenge for me but also for the team to test ourselves against the best," said the veteran Springbok lock.
"It's the highest of the high in rugby. When you see the level of the Top 14 and only six teams qualify for the European Cup, you quickly understand that this competition is particularly elevated."
Montpellier welcome back Lucas Amorosino while Scottish international Johnnie Beattie starts at number eight.
French internationals Fulgence Ouedraogo and François Trhinh-Duc have been rested.
The teams:
Toulon: 15 Delon Armitage, 14 Vincent Martin, 13 Maxime Mermoz, 12 Matt Giteau, 11 David Smith, 10 Jonny Wilkinson, 9 Frederic Michalak, 8 Chris Masoe, 7 Steffon Armitage, 6 Pierrick Gunther, 5 Jocelino Suta, 4 Bakkies Botha, 3 Carl Hayman, 2 Sebastien Bruno, 1 Andrew Sheridan.

Cute and comfy, but...
"Only if you order at least half a size up. I usually wear a size 6.5 in heels and boots, 7 in flats, but I had to get a 7.5 in these. I'm still waiting for them to come. They are, however, absolutely adorable, the material is a bit stretchy, which makes them comfortable, as does the slightly padded bottom."

Must try it on first before ordering on-line
"Altho this is the brand of shoe I already own in another style, the fit doesn't compare to what I currently wear. More cushioning is needed at the tip of the shoe and on the lateral upper sides. Love the color combination of grey, blue & green; unfortunatedly will have to return the shoe due to it not being comfortable."

The Emery High baseball team began the defense of their 2013 2-A baseball title with a pair of wins last week over a couple of Sanpete County teams. After sweeping through the state tournament last season, Emery High defeated Gunnison 8-2 and Manti 9-1 on the road to begin their 2014 schedule.
On Tuesday in Gunnison, Brayden Burke and Ethan Tuttle were the pitchers of record in holding the Bulldogs to three base hits and a pair of first inning runs. Emery, possessing a potent line-up from leadoff to the ninth spot, scored six runs in the first inning and garnered base hits from eight of the batters enroute to starting off the season on a positive note.
In that first inning, Ridge Nielson singled to start the game. Tuttle followed with a double and Tyson Roper followed with another double and Emery had their first run of the season. Gavin McDermott singled and Marco Mota walked before Drexler Tanner flew out to right field for the Spartans first out of the season.
Burke singled, Mark Debry got on base due a Gunnison error, Tanner Lake flew out to center before Ridge walked as he batted for the second time in the inning. Tuttle ground out to end the six-run inning.
Lake scored in the fourth inning after getting on base due to an error and Tanner scored in the fifth inning after receiving a base on balls. Emery finished with nine base hits including doubles by Tuttle and Roper. Nielson, McDermott, Burke and Lake each had two hits in the game.
The next day at Manti, Dillon Wilstead was the starting pitcher with Roper and Nielson pitching in relief and the three limited Manti to a single run and five base hits. The single run came on a homerun in the fifth inning. Emery pitchers struck out 11 batters.
Emery had a walk and a base hit in the first inning by Tuttle and Roper but nothing in innings two, three and four. In inning five, Drexler singled to start the inning, Burke, Wilstead, Lake and Nielson all followed with base hits and all would eventually score. After Tuttle flew out to centerfield, Roper got on base and McDermott followed with a triple to clear the bases.
Emery added three insurance runs in the sixth inning to pad the final score. Lake singled followed by Nielson doubling and Tuttle singling to score a pair of runs. Tuttle scored on a Mota single.
Emery will jump right into region action this week with a game against South Sevier in Monroe on Wednesday. Emery will play in the Montrose tournament over the weekend.

Governor Deal recently announced his plan to remove the Georgia 400 toll at the end of 2013. The announcement detailed to have the state pay off its bond debt on December 1, 2013, and move quickly to eliminate the unpopular toll by the end of that year, stopping collection 4 years earlier than previously planned.
The toll was originally scheduled to end in 2011, but was extended by the governor's predecessor, Sonny Perdue, shortly before leaving office. Former Governor Perdue extended the toll and issued new bonds tied to the toll revenue to fund added improvements in the Georgia 400 corridor, including a new connector to I-85. The $40 million in new bonds were set to be paid off by June 1, 2017, but it was realized that after the three year mark the state can repay the bonds without a penalty.
The governor's proposal requires approval of the State Road and Tollway Authority and comes in time before the 2012 Transportation Tax Referendum.
For more information, visit the Office of the Governor.

Learn about fabric careHOW TO CARE FOR WOOL FABRICS: Dry-cleaning is recommended, though some wools can take hand washing. Always test a swatch first if you are going to care for your wool fabrics at home rather than using a drycleaner. Many of the fine wools Mood sells online and in-store have already been "sponged," or preshrunk, but you can preshrink your wool if necessary. Mood recommends taking your uncut wool fabric to the drycleaners and asking them to steam it for you, which will safely preshrink it more effectively than you can using home methods. Mood strongly recommends test-laundering a swatch, if you plan to wash your garment or home furnishings yourself.
PLEASE NOTE: The above numbers are estimations only. Please take into account garment size, lining and fabric width.

too narrow
"Bought these shoes and was very excited when I recieved them because they were very light and I loved the look of them. Unfortunatly the shoe is very narrow, so narrow that half of my foot is stepping where the shoe dips in on the side. Also, I do not like that the "tongue" of the shoe is attached to the sizes which makes it very hard to get on and off. This shoe does not work for me at all but it might for people who have narrow feet, high arches, and don't mind having to figure out how to put your foot in comfortably."

Alabama Judge Dismisses Al Hendershot's Obama Ballot Challenge Lawsuit Because He's White: Two More Injunctions Filed
Al Hendershot: "The opposing attorney told the Judge that she did not have jurisdiction to hear the case. Judge Lee stated in a meeting in her chambers that the Motion for Recusal was denied. Judge Lee's comment regarding my reasoning of judicial bias stated: "Is the bias due to me (Judge Lee) and our President Obama are both black?" The Judge denied my constitutional right to legal council as well as a Court Reporter. Therefore, I requested to withdraw my case which was summarily denied. The Judge, after denying my request to withdraw the case then stated "Case dismissed."
This Morning unbenounced to the court, there were two other cases filed at exactly 8:30AM (before my case was even heard at 9:15AM) in two other separate cases asking for the same temporary injunction. So technically these two other cases will have to be heard on their merits. So we now have two more temporary injunctions which will still prevent the anointed one from being added to the 2012 Primary Ballot in Alabama by 01/19/2012. They will be served again..."

Asset Based Lending & Loans
Commercial finance that maximize flexibility
Asset based lending is an ideal solution for companies with capital-intensive balance sheets who are looking to maximize financing flexibility.
As specialists in this type of financing, we have extensive experience developing solutions for companies across many industries, asset classes, and economic cycles.
- Loan is typically structured as a revolving credit facility; funds can be re-borrowed as repayments are made
- Availability is determined by advance rates against eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory collateral
- Advance rates and eligibility are based on quality and performance of the collateral
- Commitment amounts begin at $10 million
Asset based loans offer certain advantages over traditional loans:
- Broad use of proceeds – working capital, acquisitions, debt refinancing, recapitalizations, management buyouts, capital expenditures
- Fewer financial covenants – emphasis is on collateral performance
- Predictable source of capital – borrowing availability is tied to company's assets, which often maximizes liquidity, as opposed to borrowing against a multiple of earnings (EBITDA), which may be more volatile
- Applicable to most industries – retail, manufacturing, distribution, wholesale, business services

Computers have ushered the beginning of the information age, and for good reason! Computers have always been good at storing and processing large amounts of information, but have become better as time has gone on. Storage capacities have changed drastically in the last ten or fifteen years, from mere megabytes to several hundred gigabytes. It's nothing short of amazing!
Before the user can use a storage device, the storage device must be formatted, a process that prepares the device for storage. This process creates an organizational structure called a file system that the computer will use to keep track of the information. There are many types of file systems, but in Windows, there really only are two types: FAT (a generic term which includes FAT16 and FAT32) and NTFS. FAT is frequently found in older versions of Windows (ranging from version 3.1 to 95, 98 and ME) and removable media (removable USB drives, etc). Although NTFS is very common in Windows 2000 and XP installations, it is not common on removable media, especially floppy disks.
When installing an operating system, like Windows, the setup program on the installation media (usually one or more CDs) will format the hard disk drive (your computer's primary mass storage device) for you.
Once a file system has been created on a storage device (whether it be a portable USB drive, hard disk, or floppy), it can be used by the computer to store information in the form of files and folders.
When a storage device is available for use, Windows will assign it a drive letter. "A" and "B" are reserved for floppy drives, and "C" is reserved for your primary hard disk drive (the one Windows is installed to). CD and DVD drives are typically found next, at "D" or "E." These letters play an important role later on.
Essentially, file systems are hierarchical in nature and can contain only two elements: files and folders. Fundamentally, there is only difference between the two - folders can contain other files and folders.
The best illustration can be found in your own computer! Follow these instructions:
1) Go to your desktop and double-click "My Computer." If you're using Windows XP, "My Computer" may not be visible on the desktop. In this case, click on the "Start" button and then click on "My Computer" (located on the start menu).
2) A window should be visible with various "drives" your computer has access to. You may see "3� Floppy (A:)" or "CD Drive (E:)." You should also see something like "Local Disk (C:)". Text labels will vary among different versions of Windows. Find the one that has "C:" in it and double click it.
3) You are now browsing your "C" drive, which contains your Windows system files, programs (including games) and other files and folders. Like any modern operating system, Windows uses icons to represent the various elements or objects (files, folders) stored on the drive. Different icons are used to represent different types of files. For example, photos might have one icon, and text documents may have another icon.
4) Find the folder called "Program Files" and double click it. You are now inside the "Program Files" folder. You should see a whole bunch of folders - these will vary greatly from computer to computer. Most 3rd party software is installed to this folder. Windows itself is in a different folder.
5) You should find a folder called "Internet Explorer" - double click it! You are now inside "Internet Explorer" folder. You'll see various files, one of which is called "IEXPLORE.EXE" (the "EXE" may be hidden from view). This is a program file, and will be executed if you double click it! You can close the window (click on the "X" on the upper-right corner).
Managing files and folders are very important skills in the computer world, and is a big part of being computer literate! Subsequent articles in this series will cover more about files, folders and formatting!

The penal colony where she is serving a two-year term complained that she 'didn't repent.'
A Russian court denied parole on Friday to a member of the feminist punk band Pussy Riot who has already served almost half her sentence for staging an irreverent protest against Vladimir Putin in Moscow's main cathedral, RT reported.
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 23, began serving her two-year sentence last summer on charges of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred for last year's demonstration.
Defense lawyers had urged the court to release Tolokonnikova so that she can take care of her 5-year-old daughter.
Dressed in a Soviet-style prison unform with white scarf, she addressed the court from behind bars in Zubova Polyana, 240 miles southeast of Moscow in the Russian republic of Mordovia.
She said the penal colony where she is serving time would not support her appeal because she "didn't repent." Repentance is not a requirement for parole in Russia.
In its deposition to the court, the penal colony complained that Tolokonnikova was "decisive, insensitive to ethics and conscience and thinking only about herself."
In addition, the penal colony noted that Tolokonnikova once failed to greet a prison official during a hospital stay, the Daily Mail reported. She was also once reprimanded for refusing to go out for a walk while she was held in a Moscow jail, according to the deposition.
Tolokonnikova and two other female members of the punk band were originally charged for the March 2012 stunt. One of the women, Yekaterina Samutsevich, had her sentence suspended on appeal. In January 2013, a court also denied a bid by Maria Alyokhina for a suspended sentence, RT reported.
The punk band had performed a provocative "punk prayer" criticizing then-Prime Minister Putin on the altar of Christ the Savior Cathedral in central Moscow, Russia's main Orthodox church. Putin is now president of Russia.
The case has drawn attention of international artists,like Madonna, who have protested the conviction. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has also expressed sympathy for Tolokonnikova, without calling for her release outright.
In April, Putin was asked about the government's attitude toward protests, including the Pussy Riot incident, The Moscow Times reported.
"Both the Pussy Riot girls and those lads who desecrate soldiers' graves should answer before the law," Putin replied. "We don't convict people for their political views but for breaking the law. The same is true of rallies, I think that people can and should organize them, but within the confines of the law."

Game #15 Preview: Canucks @ Blackhawks
Dimitri Filipovic
February 19 2013 11:49AM
Fans would like to see the Canucks get their hands on Duncan Keith, but it's easier said than done.
Vancouver Canucks. Chicago Blackhawks. A puck, and a bunch of sticks.
It's one of the marquee matchups whenever it comes up on the NHL schedule, and it's one of the few games over the course of the regular season that doesn't require any sort of additional billing. We all know the story; the recent history between the two teams, and immense talent level all over the ice speak for themselves.
Read on Past the Jump for More on the Game.
Broadcast Info:
Puckdrop: 5:30 PST
Radio: The Team 1040
Television: Rogers Sportsnet Pacific
After having rather casually breezed to a six-game winning streak against mostly inferior competition to start the month of February, the Vancouver Canucks have stumbled somewhat in their last two games. I say somewhat, because while they technically are winless in their most recent pair of contests, I thought they played well enough to win both. We like to preach about believing in the process, because sooner rather than later, it leads to the success you're looking for.
Starting tonight (although I guess you could say it actually started on Sunday night) things are about to ramp up in a big way in terms of the level of competition for the Canucks, as they make their way through the Central division with a 4-game road trip. And it starts with the toughest one of them all - The Madhouse on Madison. Roberto Luongo's House of Horrors. The House that Patrick Kane's Groupies and Bar Bills Built.
I'm not sure if you were aware of this, but the Blackhawks have been fairly good at hockey thus far this season. They have yet to lose in regulation, they lead the league in goal differential, and they've displayed a propensity to score quite a few goals every time they hit the ice (which I haven't minded, actually, because I'm a big fan of Chelsea Dagger. Sacrilegious, I know). They're pretty much as well-rounded a team as this league has right now, with few noticeable holes.
This is why I'm personally excited about this game. Forget your bloodlust for a second; this'll be a really good hockey game(*), which is what we're all ultimately tuning in to see. You may have noticed the asterisk I threw in there. And that's because I would have said the same thing on February 1st, before their first meeting of the year. The Canucks won that game, but we all kind of lost, because, you know, we watched it. Neither team played anywhere near their capabilities, which hasn't be all that common a sight this year. You'd have to think that we'll see a more well played, fluid game this time around.
There are two key personnel moves from a Canucks perspective to shine a light on heading into this one:
a) Cory Schneider gets the start. Makes sense, as Alain Vigneault continues to enjoy his ride on the goaltender carousel. I have no issue with this decision, by the way. Luongo got the last start (and the last one against Chicago, too) and didn't exactly do anything to force the coaches hand.
b) David Booth is back in the lineup, after having missed the first 14 games of the season. It'll be nice having one of the team's best possession players back in the fold. Watch for his minutes to be limited, at least initially, as he's set to start the night on the 4th line with Lapierre and Weise (according to Jason Botchford).
One would think that the build-up to the whole 'WHAT WILL DO THE CANUCKS DO TO DUNCAN KEITH?!?!' storyline is a thing of the past. Does anyone honestly even care anymore, 336 days later? Keith has made it clear that he doesn't feel any sort of need to "pay" for his actions, and that's his choice. In the flow of the game, he's a remarkable skater, and as we saw in their first game this season, it's darn near impossible to land anything resembling a body check on him to begin with. I wouldn't mind seeing him take a big (clean) hit, but I hope no Canuck goes out of their way to land a cheap shot of his own. It's a vicious cycle which takes us nowhere, so what's the point.
Fans of the team will surely want blood, but the players, and myself, would be adequately satisfied with a victory. Especially if it came in the form of Chicago's first regulation loss of the season.

Made my way via thecommittedindian and nucksmisconduct.
Wanted to comment on this re: Keith-
"I wouldn't mind seeing him take a big (clean) hit, but I hope no Canuck goes out of their way to land a cheap shot of his own. It's a vicious cycle which takes us nowhere, so what's the point."
It's funny you should mention a vicious cycle. A lot of Nuck fans like yourself seem to forget that what Keith did, (which I do not condone) was in retaliation to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=fvwp&v=I3r9769DFOQ
The feigned outrage. The whining. It's tired. Your guy went head hunting and got some payback of his own. Simple as that. It's unfortunate he got concussed but it's a big boy sport and he shouldn't have went after Keith's head in the first place. OR better yet, shame on the officials for not giving him a game misconduct and removing him from the ice like they should have, which would have diffused things in a much better way.
Relax, guy. Nobody has forgotten that hit either.
I'm with you, I would much rather the Canucks get a W than any sort of revenge. If it happens, though, I wouldn't be too upset about it.
