McGovern's legacy is fight against hunger
Last Sunday, we lost former U.S. Senator George McGovern. Although many will recall his disastrous 1972 loss to Richard Nixon and his subsequent leadership in getting us out of Vietnam, his truly lasting legacy will be his war on hunger and malnutrition.
In 1977, following extensive public hearings, McGovern's Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs published Dietary Goals for the United States, a precursor to today's Dietary Guidelines. It marked the first time that a U.S. government document recommended reduced meat consumption.
The meat industry forced the committee to destroy all copies of the report and to remove the offending recommendation from a new edition. It then abolished the committee, voted McGovern out of office, and warned government bureaucrats never to challenge meat consumption again. (Food Politics by Marion Nestle, 2007).
Yet, after 35 years of studies linking meat consumption with elevated risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, and other killer diseases, the MyPlate icon, representing USDA's current Dietary Guidelines for Americans, recommends vegetables, fruits, and grains, but never mentions meat, and shunts dairy off to one side. (www.choosemyplate.gov/).
And it all started with one brave senator from South Dakota.

Lottery causes people to waste their money
Well, some people cannot be satisfied with the liquor and casinos and now some counties want stronger beer. Now they want to bring in this lottery.
Let me tell you what I recently saw on a trip to Arkansas to see my brother.
I stopped to get gas and while I was waiting to pay for it a little old lady, probably about 70 to 75 years old, was in front of me. She had two bananas on the counter and counted out $250 for her lottery tickets and a couple of dollars for the bananas.
I thought, "Bless your heart, what a wise decision you just made." I doubt if she could really throw away $250, yet that is what she did.
Mississippi does not need the lottery. How many children will go hungry because mother and daddy took grocery money and bought lottery tickets hoping to get something for nothing?
Christians, this is another matter that needs a lot of prayer.
What would Jesus do?

Candidate Bad Morris is in the wrong party
After reading the article "Morris, Nunnelee offer issues contrast" (Oct. 14), I remember the meeting that my dad went to at Day-Brite Union Hall 1028. It was when President Johnson was going to take $300 billion out of the Social Security Trust Fund to start welfare, food stamps and Medicaid and the union voted no at that time sometime in the 1960s.
Johnson wanted the votes to get re-elected president. They were supposed to pay back the money, but the Democrats will not talk about this now and you can see what kind of trouble that Social Security is in now.
I think Brad Morris needs to change parties. One of my cousins, the late Buddy Gardner, was in a POW camp during World War II where Brad could have the right to run for a public office, but he's just on the wrong side.

Is Your Water Bottle Giving You Cancer? New Study Reveals Shocking BPA Dangers
Farron Cousins | May 26, 2012
By Farron Cousins • Saturday, May 26, 2012 - 08:00
Bisphenol A, or BPA for short, has been in the spotlight for decades, with both the chemical industry and occasionally the federal government touting its safety, while independent, non-industry funded scientific studies show us how dangerous the chemical truly is. The latest news regarding BPA is no different, with new independent studies showing that the common chemical has the potential to increase the risk of breast cancer when exposure occurs in the womb.
BPA is a common chemical used primarily in the production of plastics, such as baby bottles, canned goods (lining the inside of cans), soda bottles, and other common plastic goods that typically hold food or beverages (although it is found in countless other polycarbonate plastic products, including medical devices). It helps preserve the life of perishable goods, but comes at a dangerous cost to human health.
The chemical easily leaches out of plastic, and is either consumed by humans, or it can be absorbed through the skin. Estimates show that in the U.S., humans consume about 50 micrograms per kilogram of body weight everyday. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that, at any given time, 93% of Americans have measurable amounts of BPA in their systems.
The latest study, released earlier this month, shows that in utero exposure to BPA in rhesus monkeys led to abnormalities in mammary gland development.

"Okay, so I normally don't buy slippers for more than like $10, but I had $15 of discounts so I thought 'Why not!"First things first, I'm very pleased with the service I received. My shoes were sent quickly, the box was not damaged in any way and I received an email the morning they came alerting me that my shoes had arrived.Second, these are SO comfortable. The bootie style is perfect for me because my ankles are normally cold along with my feet. They look just like the picture online and have a nice thick sole. I don't plan on wearing them outside, but I think that even if I did decide to wear them outside, they wouldn't wear out quickly.I would strongly recommend these to a friend."

There must be something about disaster films that act like a magnet for Denzel Washington.
Although trains - Unstoppable (2010) and The Taking of Pelman 1 2 3 (2009) - are his usual tour de force, he obviously doesn't mind a good plane crash.
And although the drama of a plane crash is pivotal, the storyline is more about Whip Whitaker (Washington) and his battle with his own demons.
Whip is a veteran pilot with all the skills needed to be outstanding at his job.
But though he knows what to do in an emergency, the question is whether his physical state will allow him to do it.
Whip's problem is that the path life has taken him on has been closely tied to the bottle.
Divorced and estranged from his teenage son, he seeks solace in the arms of beautiful young air hostesses and alcohol. Adding to his issues is his penchant for drugs. When Whip puts himself in the pilot's seat and a fierce storm lies ahead, the potential for disaster is huge.
Still drunk and high on cocaine, Whip is impaired.
Somehow, when the plane has a mechanical failure, he manages to pull off an extraordinary manoeuvre to land the plane on a field with the loss of only six lives.
Initially a hero, the investigation into the crash uncovers his physical state and the bulk of the movie deals with his journey to realisation about his problem.
What is beyond question is that Whip saved lives that day.
But he must deal with his own demons if he wants to stay out of prison.
As Whip, Washington turns in another outstanding performance and is a standout in a strong and eclectic cast.

- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

It's a statistical fact that a majority of Pueblo city voters — 60 percent — approved Amendment 64 legalizing recreational marijuana.
Even so, there is a solid majority of four "no" votes on City Council when it comes to retail stores in the city.
"I really don't want that," said Councilman Chris Nicoll. "My feeling is there is enough retail marijuana available in (Pueblo County) to satisfy city voters who wanted it. If it were solely up to me, I'd leave it that way."
Still, Nicoll would like a specific question on the November ballot asking if retail stores should be allowed in very limited areas of the city. But he sees that as a pre-emptive strike.
Without a tight restrictive zoning plan, pro-marijuana voters could force a much broader retail policy on council, he said.
Council President Sandy Daff also doesn't want retail stores in the city. She told the audience at Monday's council meeting the calls she's getting are nearly all opposed.
Councilman Chris Kaufman takes the economic development angle. He argues that retail pot stores in the city will hurt Pueblo's image and ability to attract major employers. He also predicts retail marijuana will be a burden to law enforcement.
"Our police are already burdened now with increasing calls for service," he said.
And Councilwoman Eva Montoya, a retired teacher, is just flat opposed to legalized marijuana.
"We used to be called Pew-town," she told council Monday. "Now we're being called Pot-town."
All of which leaves the other three council members — Steve Nawrocki, Ed Brown and Ami Nawrocki — at a loss. Especially because Kaufman and Daff are willing to license marijuana growing and product-manufacturing in the city. Just no retail stores.
That's a distinction Steve Nawrocki finds artificial.
"So a majority of council is willing to let businesses grow marijuana in the city and put it in brownies or whatever, but wouldn't let Pueblo residents buy it?" he asked, only half-jokingly.
While Nicoll prefers to let city residents go out to the county stores to buy pot, Ami Nawrocki sees that as council ignoring its own constituents.
"These are legal businesses, approved by voters," she said. "I think the public has spoken on this issue and it's up to council to supply the leadership."
Which is how Brown sees it, too. He has questioned why council would turn its back on a source of revenue when the city has faced budget cuts for several years running.
But that's why Daff and Kaufman are willing to look at licensing nonretail pot businesses, like growers. To butcher a cliche, they could have their pot revenue without having to eat it, so to speak.
"I'm intrigued at the potential of those businesses," Kaufman said.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The project team for the Green River Missile Base was recently on site to continue the exploration process to determine its final status. The project team consists of the White Sands Missile Range, Department of Environmental Quality and the Environmental Protection Agency. Greg Watterson from the Mevatec Corporation said, "All of the soil, sediment, surface water and ground water sampling efforts are complete. The analytical data was validated by a third party, a company in Texas, and was found to be 100 percent valid and useable. The project team will be meeting in December to review all the data gathered and determine if any future actions are required. Based on the results of the meeting the site inspection report will be finalized for review by the White Sands Missile Range, Utah Department of Environmental Quality and the EPA.
"Internal drafts of the site inspection report will be passed between WSMR and the UDEQ/EPA during January-May of 2003. The final site inspection report is likely to be released to the public by June 2003. Copies of the report will be made available to Green River City. We have been closely involved with Mayor Glen Johnson of Green River on this project. The city has an intense interest in the site and its future.
"During this week at the site we have a geophysical survey underway by the Microgeophysics Corporation from Wheat Ridge, Colo. Dave Butler and Jason Small have marked a grid over an eight acre parcel every five feet on the section in question and they are walking this area with the detection instruments. They will go over each area three times. Soil conductivity and changes in the soil are recorded and all the feedback is tied together. The device carried by Small takes eight readings a second and the information is sent to a GPS unit attached to his back and then sent to a data recorder.
"Historical activities in the survey area indicate that it was used as a former metal and debris storage area. Former site employees have indicated to us that debris might have been buried within the survey area. We cleared the area of most of the surface debris and there were old rocket boosters and other metals on the surface, which is a pretty clear indication of what lies below the surface.
"Chemical results from the soil sampling effort didn't indicate any contaminants at significant concentrations, however, those results could not rule out any buried material given the previous use of this area. This survey will determine the presence or absence of any buried metal or debris. Three survey methods are being used a magnetometer, EM-31 ground conductivity meter and EM-61 metal detector. The geophysical team will provide White Sands with a report summarizing their findings. The report will indicate the location and the extent of any debris that is buried at the site. Maps generated during the survey will be digitally overlaid on White Sands existing site maps," said Watterson.
Jose Gallegos from White Sands is new to the project and was on site to gain an understanding of the area and the process they are involved in. He said after the testing is completed and if there is a problem with the buried debris that excavation could be a possible alternative or a soil cap. If the buried debris does not present a problem then the project team will be able to inform a future occupant of the site of its whereabouts and the extent of the debris with the findings from the geophysical survey.
Jerry Cross from the EPA has been involved with the project from the beginning, he stated that if they were to dig up batteries or barrels they would have a more serious situation than if household garbage was the only thing buried. "We'll just have to look and see what's in there and the geophysical testing was an easier way to determine where the debris is than just random digging."
Gallegos said, "The U.S. Army intends to excess the 40 acre cantonment area. The preliminary paperwork has been submitted to the U.S. Army Higher Headquarters but the excessing action cannot be completed until the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, completes the environmental baseline survey. The engineers are awaiting the results of the site inspection report prior to finalizing the baseline survey. There isn't a set time inwhich this will be completed, but the excessing process generally takes two years from the completion of the baseline survey. If a need for any site cleanup is determined this could delay the process of a land transfer.
Cross said the two processes have been running concurrently, but there are a lot of steps involved in the transfer process. There are a lot of different entities and hierachies involved and you never know who might come out of the woodwork, but at the present time Green River City is the only one who has expressed a real interest in the site. It was also pointed out that the acreage beyond the 40 acre cantonment area is a combination of Bureau of Land Management, state property and army property. The army has had a long standing lease with the BLM and the state for those properties which were known as the Athena and the Pershing launch areas.Mayor Johnson is still hopeful for the future of the site. He would like to see low-income housing on the site, businesses occupying the buildings and an ATV park on the surrounding acreage.
The project team will continue to grind through the data and they will keep Green River City informed of any developments as the investigation and the excessing process continues through the next few years.

Skip to comments.Having a baby (09/20/02)
Posted on 09/20/2002 6:05:53 AM PDT by #1CTYankee
Arrived at the Hospital 6:20 this morning.The due date was 9/18 but the date came and went.
The doctor started the IV drip to induce labor at 8:30. Will keep you up to date on the events.
I guess "undo" is out of the question, huh?
Another Freeper on the way!
Let us know when the newest Freeper arrives!
Congrats and good fortune to all.
Think she'd be upset if I watched from home?
uh, on second thought.... maybe that wouldn't be such a hot idea...
Isn't that what's going on at Wall St these days?
I always thought that the old-fashioned way was the best way - the way they did it 40 or 50 years ago. You know, where the mother's job was to go in and have the baby, and the father's job was to sit in the waiting room and smoke cigarettes while leafing through old issues of National Geographic. ;)
Anyway, this your first?
I'm having flashbacks to when my son was born back in 97
She could grab that laptop and whop you over the head with it, too.
Watch for signals that she is no longer a happy camper.
I'll admit,not having to walk this far for a smoke is a pain.
But she's putting up with a little more then me. ;-)
PS: Bring cookies and snacks for the nurses ; )
Three stooges, I love those guys!
We brought some movies, they have a VCR in the room.
I thought of bringing the movie Rosemary's baby but didn't think she'd find the humor in it.
I'm didn't drive the black sedan.
(Although I am a loveable man)
As I recall, she did a pretty good impersonation of Linda Blair last time.
Don't sell yourself short, now - the "emotional support" thing is the hard part, really. Don't be fooled by all that grunting and sweating - it's all an act, and the next time you get up to go to the bathroom or something, your wife and all the nurses will be laughing and joking about the fact that you bought it. So, when it looks like she's in the most terrible discomfort and pain near the end, you just go ahead and lean over and whisper "I'm on to you - I know you're faking it"....
That should get you a few years of sleeping on the couch ;)
We are having a Birthday Party on FP.
Nope, what kind of fun would that be?
I don't want to know what I'm getting for Christmas either!
Geesh, I hope it doesn't come to that.
Too funny, I read it to my wife and the nurse. They laughed a bunch!
The nurse wants to know where I'm getting the jokes from.
You are a card general.
Funny, my wife didn't see the humor in it.
Neither did mine, for some reason. Go figure ;)

The Spa City Blues Society is proud to introduce the First Annual Hot Springs Craft Beer Festival on May 31. Start the summer off at Hill Wheatley Plaza downtown with samples of craft beers and blues music.
Starting at 6pm, tickets include an unlimited supply of craft beer samples, and some food samples as well. They have an extensive list of beer suppliers being showcased—from Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Louisiana, Kansas, Colorado, North Carolina, California, Illinois, and Alabama. There will certainly be tasty options to choose from!
Beer enthusiasts know that it's one of the oldest drinks people have enjoyed, but it wasn't until the Industrial Revolution that the beer industry we're familiar with began to grow. The modern technology gave brewers more control over their recipes, and it also gave them more ways to create diverse brews. The Hot Springs Craft Beer Festival is thankful for that.
While you are in town for the festival, consider adding a stay at Lookout Point to your plans. Enjoy relaxing by Lake Hamilton in a hammock, sleeping in luxurious sheets, and eating a filling gourmet breakfast in the morning before sampling some excellent brews. Reserve your stay online or call 501.525.6155 for more information.
The Hot Springs Craft Beer Festival is $30 per person if reserved in advance; at the door, the price is $35. You can get tickets, and learn more details as they develop, on the website.

South by South West, also referred to SXSW, is a three part conference and festival that includes interactive, film, and music. It is a weeklong event that takes place annually in Austin, TX. SXSW Inc. is a private owned company that is headquartered in Austin that works all year to get the best lineup of musicians, actors, and media industry professionals. The first festival took place in 1987 and has been going strong and growing in attendance every year. How should you prepare for such a big event? Here are some tips for preparing for the SXSW five days of music portion of the festival.
If you are traveling from out of town, the first step is to book your hotel and travel arrangements. Hotels in the downtown area, where the festival takes place, fill up in advance. Making your hotel arrangements should be done first and early. There are a lot of places to stay downtown so that you can walk to different music shows. If you stay somewhere that isn't of walking distance, you can arrange to rent a vehicle or take a taxi cab. The cabs are very busy during the week so renting a car may be more convenient. There are a lot of Pedi-cabs, bicycle driven buggies, which can take you around downtown.
Once you know where you are going to stay you can start packing. You will need comfortable walking shoes because you will be walking around the many different venues to check out as many shows as you can fit in during the week. You will also be standing and dancing a lot throughout the festival. Dress comfortable yet trendy. There are a lot of day parties and dinner parties, so it's good to pack a few really nice outfits. Most importantly, you want to be comfortable. Austin has really great weather in March and you can expect the temperatures to be in the 70s.
Before you head down to the festival, you should look at the music schedule to see who is playing and where and when they take the stage. Music starts during the middle of the day and lasts until two in the morning. There are a lot of up and coming bands, and bands from all over the world at SXSW. You can listen to the bands' online music to hear if you are interested in seeing them. Take advantage of the music lineup and research some of the bands and venues. If you want to be more spontaneous, you can walk around downtown and listen to the bands from the street. Once you hear a sound that you like, show your badge and walk into the bar or music venue where the band in playing.
If you stay out from noon until the early morning hours, be sure to stop and eat lunch and dinner. You want to have enough energy to walk around and check out as much music as you can fit into the day. It is also very important to stay hydrated. There will be a lot of free alcohol at the events and different venues, but be sure to switch up the alcoholic drink for some water. Please remember to follow all drinking laws and be safe. Austin has great barbeque and Tex Mex restaurants, so if you are interested in local cuisine, talk to your hotel concierge or do some research online for great eats you may want to try.

Florence 1320 /1330 – 1398/1400
Enthroned Madonna and Child with saints
[Madonna in trono col Bambino e santi]
tempera and gold on wood panel
not signed, inscribed "_ _ _ DOMINI" and dated "MILLE.CCCLXVII" (1367) on predella
91.2 (h) x 45.5 (w) x 8.1 (d) cm Purchased 1987
National Gallery of Australia, Canberra
The Madonna sits upon a throne under an ornate protective canopy holding her Son on her knee. They face us directly, flanked by six pairs of saints in profile, with two angels offering flowers below, all surmounted by God the Father in a roundel. She is dressed in a rich red gown, her blue cloak decorated with royal ermine; while the Child's patterned clothing is echoed in the angels' garb. He holds a parchment inscribed with a Latin proclamation. Both appear regal and formal, 'demanding adoration and respectful worship from the viewer [and inviting] the worshipper to be overwhelmed by the perfection and splendour of the Heavenly kingdom'.[1] Everything seems precious and shimmering, from the flat gilded background to gold stars spangled on the carpet; tooled gilt haloes and arches set up circular rhythms, while golden flowers hold sparkling coloured gesso jewels.
A pointed Gothic arch, its shape repeated within the scene, encloses the painting and directs us to its period and meaning. Jacopo di Cione dated his image of the enthroned Madonna and Child with twelve saints 'MILLE.CCCLXVII', or 1367, on the predella below the panel. During these years, from 1366 to 1368, Jacopo decorated the large chamber of the Florentine guildhall of judges and notaries. He was one of four brothers, including Andrea di Cione Orcagna,[2]who dominated Florentine painting in the third quarter of the fourteenth century, in those decades before the Renaissance took firm hold in Central and Northern Italy. They formed part of the International Gothic style, competing with the moving dramas and new naturalism of Giotto's heirs.[3] The stiffly formal attitudes of Mary and the Christ Child might be traced to the Black Death which devastated Italy, including Florence, in 1348. One religious and cultural response may have been a return to severity and the importance of authority, in reaction against the humility of saints such as Francis, who made the divine and human closer.
Enthroned Madonna and Child with saints is a portable devotional work, commissioned for a home or for someone in Holy Orders. The panel was probably the central image of a triptych, with its twisted columns marking the hinges where shutters would have closed.[4] On the left Jacopo would have painted a Nativity, on the right a Crucifixion.

Breaking news, big events and the 'second screen'
I remember the day the Egypt uprising began. It was Tuesday (25 January, 2011) and during the night I learned about it through Twitter – I was using my iPad. My first reaction to this breaking news was to turn the TV on and look for a news channel broadcasting about Tahir Square. I found … Continue reading

Diablo III has been out for awhile now and is still generating tons of discussions about all aspects of the game, much of it quite heated. In The List today, we take a look at five surprisingly good things Blizzard packed into Diablo III. See what you think and then chat it up in the comments.
Enter Diablo III. How does Blizzard beat the awesomeness of the Cow Level? With Whimsyshire, a Mario-esque looking zone packed with chubby pink ponies, cute little teddy bears, fluffy smiling clouds and happy little flowers.....all bent on savaging you and your party. Nothing says embarrassment like "so-and-so was slain by a Chubby Pink Pony". Still it's one of the best places to collect gear in the game.
Read more of Suzie Ford's The List: 5 Things Blizzard Did Right.
I agree with all the points.
I also agree that haters are gonna hate on you. Here, have some asbestos undies.
THe AH takes away from the game. Having the ability to look for level appropriate items with the exact stats you want make damn near every drop you find worthless. Sure you can ignore the AH but its really hard when its so easy to spen 100k gold and completely twink a leveling character.
I honestly would rather trading go back to shady sites and Ebay... It could easily be ignored.
As for the story, It falls short at the end. The ending cinematic was so anticlimactic, literally a 30 second cinematic bit and you get a Thanks for playing screen...
I agree on the companions, i think they were a nice addtion.
Waiting on:
I try very hard to imagine D2 with AH,now because theres AH in the game,good items droprates goes from 1% to 0.001 ,trash items droprates goes from 20% to 99%.
then im forced to use AH ,wow gee look wot i found from AH .
no thanks.
Let's internet
Must be a slow news day because we need some controversy but I'll bite.
5.The auctoiion houe ruins the whole point of the loot finding factior in a hack and slash rpg. The whole idea is to find the loot not buy to win.
4. Whimsyshire was noting more than a slap in the face for the diehard fans. Too cartoonish! It was an insult to the franchise.
3. Companions were awful because they were mainly useless most of the time except the ocassional buff they give you but that isn't all the time. Can't even customize them fully.
2. The story was average but not that good either. How does Cain die by some insignificant character ? Cain is iconic and needed to leave us in dramatic fashion not by someone who offered little to the story.
1. Mouth hanging open ? Yeah ok , it was all too predictable and boring.
Grim Dawn, the next great action rpg!
I dont own Blizz games, since i think they are the biggest brainwashers and are made purely for people who got a) 2 much time b) have no real life friends/ activites or no goals or have some other diseases.
So far ive read about D3 and watched some stream, D3 is pure garbage. But still, it does bring some good things right to the table:
1) good animated story
Well that was it.
There is no question that Diablo III's story is far and away the best of the three. And it's not just that there -is- a story. It's actually a good story. Blizzard's writing team has far exceeded my expectations with the game's lore. I haven't played Diablo III so much for the action and adventure, though clearly those are there, but because I want to find out what happens next, to see what will be revealed around the next corner.
I'm dying to know if you wrote this one with a straight face. If anything, writing is abysmal and unintentionally brings down a good chunk of the game experience with it. Twists you never saw coming? Yeah, maybe if this is someone's first RPG or something.
Nature without Technology is little more than animals running about.
Nature without Magic is without wonder or miracle.
Magic without Technology is fantasy.
Magic without Nature is formless and useless.
Technology without Nature is application without understanding.
Technology without Magic is repetitious and uninventive.
i dont agree at all but oh well
ah ? lol no way
story? could have been FAAAAAAAAAAAR better
Whimseyshire? That slap in the face to Diablo fans? And the Auction House? That scammy feature that drives the game and determines its direction?
Here's my list:
1) Shared stash
"Censorship is never over for those who have experienced it. It is a brand on the imagination that affects the individual who has suffered it, forever." - Noam Chomsky
I live in Asia. I had a toon on the American server because I speak English. The GAH prices were outrageous and I didn't want to farm gold all the time. I don't use the RMAH because I don't want to support it. I'm absolutely against it.
I re-rolled on the Asian server because I know they don't have an RMAH because of Korea. I did so because I knew the GAH prices would be better. I was right. I have saved so much gold playing on the Asian server, it was totally worth the re-roll for me. The loot tables still force you to go to the AH (I don't care what some people say, unless you are really lucky, you must use the AH to progress).
However, the costs are so much cheaper. I can find suitable upgrades for 20-30% of what they cost in gold on the American servers because there are more quality items there (since not RMAH) and gold farmers don't manipulate the market to inflate prices.
So, from my perspective, the RMAH really did make D3 into a gold farming game rather than a loot farming game. That sucks, to be honest, for me any way.
However, if people like to play the AH Tycoon game (as someone else coined the term on these forums), or they want to make Real MoNEy, then they will like the RMAH and D3 as it is. Fine for them.
I'm just happy I have an alternative.
EDIT: I know a lot of people here who were really excited about D3 and many of them don't play any more (my friends list is now dead). They play other games like Blade and Soul. They got BORED. That's anecdotal, but it's true. I am currently downloading TSW. I got Path of Exile to get into. It looks like a great alternative to D3. I have prepurchased TL 2.
Frankly, I am really disappointed with D3. I am not happy with Blizzard and I am not alone. Sure they made their box sales, so maybe they don't care. The people who boost Blizzard's profits buy using the RMAH may just be icing on the cake for them. Well, there it is. I won't support it. And there are lots of other games and I am becoming bored with D3 myself. I will just play till others games are out.
That just doesn't seem to stack up with the way D2 was played. But I don't know. You can't call this a hate post. It's just the way it is and I'm sure I'm not alone in this view of D3. I'm just disappointed, is all.
The story was predictable, the cutscenes were very impressive though but that is a staple at blizzard now.
Auction House is a loser.
Whimsyshire is OK, nothing amazing about it though.
Companions were good at talking and livening the world up a bit but as combat companions they were mostly useless, would have been better if you could fully gear them.
The ending was not shocking, my reaction was "OK then."

Yeah, but after a while it gets annoying hearing the same thing at the same place every time. I wish we could turn that off. It's good for 1 maybe 2 playthroughs, max.
You point out that D3 isn't a MMO yourself. You will understand that your acknowledgement doesn't change anything.
So yes, I'm one of the many who agree that articles about it don't belong here. I wish you guys would re-prioritize so you could funnel your resources into MMOs instead.
Its good that new gamers are not spoiled by new games.
This seems to be true for the author of this article too.
I think D2's story and cinematics are far superior. D3's story was kinda good because they included nephalem and angiris council stuff but the twists were lame and Leah is the most boring and out of place character ever.
But really the most disappointing part was the cinematics. Aside from the end of Act1 cinematic they are all too hollywood and cheesy. End of the game cinematic is the worst thing i've seen in the game.
Tomorrow on MMORPG, after the 5 things they did right, the 25 they did wrong. I dont agree with you.
3- Companions are useless, they follow you and they do nothing but repeat the same things over and over again. They are useless in combat too.
5-the AH is nice, however it's far from perfect (especially the search engine). The RMAH should have never been introduce.

I used no companions on normal and nightmare though so didnt even notice them getting annoying yet but im sure it would get a bit grating since the game is based on playing the same thing multiple times

It pains me to have to say this.. but the RMAH always existed.. even in Diable 1, diablo 2 definately had it. I agree it should NOT even exist but the sad truth is it alwayd DID exist.
Only difference is, its controlled and secure now. Instead of 3th party sites with high risks of scams.

Yeah, that's gonna happen lol.
It is interesting what's missing though. How about gameplay? Items? Immersion? Depth? Crafting systems? Classes? Skills?
Lol. You guys can and should do better than this, really.
Where's the balance? Where's the other side of the story? Where's the other information for your viewers?
I suppose that's about as likely as your quote.
"Censorship is never over for those who have experienced it. It is a brand on the imagination that affects the individual who has suffered it, forever." - Noam Chomsky
Well i have no doubt of criticizm skill and i respect an opinion of you guys but...
Story??? Really??? BEST of three??? e_e
Main MMO at the moment: Guild Wars 2
Waiting for: Pathfinder Online
Honestly i cant think of 5 things they did right but i can think of 5 things they got wrong..
Its still a fun game for one run through per class but currently has no replay value to me personally..
I have 5 lvl 60 characters and the game bores me silly, perhaps in a year it will be ready to play?
Playing GW2..
I wouldn't have put any of the features here on the list. Maybe the auction house which I actually use, but the filtering and sorting functions are lousy.
What I have enjoyed is the combat and the leveling. I love being able to just try out new abilities without having to make a final deceision. I love how you don't have mana and mana potions. They really nailed it when it came to resource managment in this game.
I have played through on normal and am a bit short of halfway through on nightmare. It's not particularily hard, but I do die to the occational boss pack and I really like the challenge level.
I love the "Quick Join" feature. It's really easy to get into a game with friends.
D3 hater (D1/2 purist) here...
5. Mixed feelings on the gold AH, HATE HATE HATE the RMAH. Gold AH is alright, but I really feel like they should have put more emphasis on actual item trading. Trading was definitely a skill that took time to learn and required a TON more savvy than playing the AH. The fact that they didn't bother supporting trading and instead went to the AH makes me super sad panda.
4. Again, mixed feelings on it. On the one hand I can totally appreciate what they were doing, poking fun at all the people who said the game looked cartoony and providing something similar to the cow level. But on the other, I'm one of those critics who HATES the change in art direction from the gritty realism to much more stylized dark cartoony look. It makes sense within the context of the way the game looks, but I feel it's a bit /too/ siilly for Diablo : /
3. Agree. I'm actually a pretty big fan of what they did with the companions, and it makes me super sad you're limited to them in the ONLINE SINGLE PLAYER only.
2. From what I've seen, agree again. It's nice to see them put a bit more emphasis on the story. I mean Diablo never really needed a storyline other than, "Diablo is loose! Go kill things and steal the magical armor from their corpses!", but it's nice to see them put together a pretty good one.
1. Haven't played through the game, so no-comment.
I lol'ed at these 5 Reasons That MMORPG pulled out to try and Botox Diablo 3's Face up
Bad game is bad ... It doesnt matter how much you wish to make beleive yourself.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Technological innovations over the past year include the August launch of the OSA's interoperability prototype, offering specific standards and best practices for delivering a Common Customer View (CCV) across open applications. Last November saw the OSA hosting the Philadelphia Customer Forum, the fourth in the association's customer forums focused on helping technology professionals take advantage of the ever-widening market for open software solutions.
Given the size of the U.S. software market, it is wholly understandable that much of the association's initiatives have had a North American focus. However, as the OSA moves into its second year, it's time to think about the idiosyncrasies of different markets. Though smaller than the U.S. in terms of overall software revenue, Europe is one of the most advanced open source markets worldwide and represents a considerable opportunity for forward-thinking companies.
As such, the OSA recently announced plans to expand the organization's global footprint, opening its first regional chapter to address the European market.
The European Open Source Contribution
Pierre Audoin Conseil, a Paris-based analyst firm, recently reported that the French market for open source software reached 730 million euros in 2007, a leap of 66 percent from the previous year. Gartner Research, meanwhile, is forecasting that open source software adoption rates will continue to increase across
Europe has made important contributions to the Open Source movement. In Sweden, MySQL recently broke the record for the acquisition price of an open source startup, when Federal antitrust regulators cleared Sun Microsystems's $1 billion purchase of the open source software developer. Several successful Linux distributions originated in Europe, and a large number of global open source players, such as OSA members Onepoint, Openbravo and Talend, also have European roots.
Meanwhile, the European Union's enforcement of antitrust sanctions against Microsoft and the EU's continuing resistance to software patents provide a legal framework in which open source can continue to thrive.
