Do I believe it was a failure? No. It (for the most part) set out to do what it intended to do. I honestly like the game, and I liked playing it for a good bit. In truth, what only frustrated me was how big they tried to go with it (massive planets with fifteen minutes of running between quests, nonskippable voice acting cutscenes, every fight being AoE AoE AoE). These things bothered me, and that's okay, it probably didn't bother other people. I still like the game and believe it has potential if they can be honest with themselves. It's still early enough for them to do that.
As long as there are still people playing it and are happy with it, it's not a failure. Maybe to investors it's more black and white, but we're gamers, everything is a shade of grey to us - or at least I hope it is.
For the money they spent on it, and the buggy hero engine they used way too soon, as well as going mostly F2P within a year, yeah it's a failure.

Now, not to get off-track, I don't think SWTOR is a failure in the big picture. It makes money - from what I understand - and people still play for the most part. The small picture, however, I think it failed or at least disappointed me. The A-P servers are dead and I have heard nothing about any consolidation with them. I pretty much only log on to do Ops (hate being a "raid-logger") and PVP which, while entertaining, is not what I want to do. It was like Bioware had no idea what the average MMO-player wanted in an MMO and just ignored it outright. I love BW and the games they make, but this one is just not doing it for me anymore .
They said if they could maintain 500k subs for 'X' amount of time, then it would be profitable. I'm not quite sure how many they have ATM though. Personally, I found it enjoyable for 1-50. Hands down one of the most fun leveling experiences I've had. Unfortunately they didn't do enough to set it apart from the pack, and the end game was thin. I really wish they had just made KoTOR3, using the ME3 engine.
On topic: i wouldn't say its a failer to me a MMO is not a failer untill its dead and done *only if it couldn't even last not that it just aged and died out*

Free to Play only covers the leveling process, which won't even be the full leveling experience when a new level cap is introduced. In order to fully enjoy the game at max level, you will need to either pay for PvP, operations or a subscription.

I think the missconception of players is that they see an MMORPG as an online game where you either raid or PvP, if either one of them doesn't outclass the game they have been playing the game, then th game is a failure no matter what because X does it better.
However, I play this game to role play, you know Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. If your a single player, you'll have a great time running through all the missions atleast once. On both sides. If your a multiplayer there is a wide variety of things to do such as heroic quests, group up with other players in the world to complete a quest! Or if thats not multiplayer enough for you, gather some people for the world boss on said planet! However for RP, this game is great, the gear that is available is just... awesome. Modable gear?! YES PLEASE.
Raids being to easy... well yes if you go in with weathered players everything is easy, its not like anyone has problems downing bosses on normal in WoW.

Because, honestly, he was saying they estimated 12 million MMO players in North America and Europe, so if they did it right, they would have had access to all of them and maybe more. Nowhere in that article you linked does anyone say they fully expect 10 million plus subscribers. If you read that into what was said, well, it must be very easy to get you to buy bridges. Having "access to" and "bringing every one in" are two entirely different things. Basic reading comprehension should have told you that.While Brown acknowledged it would require a careful balancing act to keep both existing MMO players and newcomers happy, he sees it as a target that has a very lucrative payoff.
"If we do that, our addressable market is well beyond 12 million people ... into more of a general gamer population, pretty much anyone that has a minimum spec personal computer," he said.
its not a fail just not the wow killing ubergame people expected. Difference between wow and swtor is i will hapilly pay for wow
Hi, My name is Wikkr and im an Altoholic
There are no realistic definitions of failure one could apply to TOR. It may have failed to meet certain expectations, but that isn't realistic because the expectations weren't realistic.
It is actually a very good game with a very bad reputation among gamers. Kinda sad.
^ The above should be taken with two grains of salt and a fistful of "chill the F* out".
It is a good game but is lacks some features that Bioware really had no excuse not to include in the game. Mainly this was at the end game point. Lack of nameplates made raiding horrible for melee dps, let alone a tank(I did both)
Not to mention the way the frames worked left a lot of healers used to the flexibility they had in WoW questioning why they even bothered. Plus the obvious lack of mod support, which realistically cannot be covered by in house customisation options.
I felt the levelling process was pretty solid and the storylines would be hard to beat. Despite what some people claim you even got dialogue based on both your class and race.
Since it became largely free to play I have actually felt tempted to go back and complete one or two republic character storylines as I only truly played Bounty Hunter and Imperial Agent. The Jedi Shadow story was pretty compelling as was my Trooper's
To be honest Bioware's main failing seems to be in delivering anything but story. I could go on to detail it but it would most likely go against the derailing thread rules.
Bioware did what many other companies do when releasing an MMO and either ignored WoW successes or tried so hard to not be associated with WoW that they made decisions detrimental to the game.
There is absolutely no point in trying to pretend that a competitor did something badly for the sake of changing it, or to pretend that the better solution is to not add their features at all.
It really does annoy me when MMOs fail on the grounds of being too stubborn or lazy to use past games of the genre as building blocks. They have no excuse to wonder why their game failed if they don't.

I thought the game was really well made, it was more issues with the engine itself. Long load times, 3 longass load screens to get to an instance, if you died i an instance, it would spawn you outside and make you reload.
There are a few ways to look at it. For the money I have spent on it I enjoyed the game and got more then my money's worth from it. So it was a success that way. The masses don't seem to agree with this based on the way the game hemoraged players and had to completely change directions and in what seemed like a panic based move or forced by the financial baking greatly changed the game most notably with it going f2p. It is safe to say that wasn't the plan this time last year so something failed along the line.

"Privilege is invisible to those who have it."
just my 2 cents worth. yes swtor was a complete colossal failure. now thats not to say its a bad game its far from it, however the sheer amount of money they spent on development, they spent what an estimated $200 million creating swtor and yet less than a year on they have less than a million subs and have been forced to give a free to play option.
how anyone can consider that not a failure is beyond me

For Free Estimate Call 952-831-1433
By Eric Morud
That is because unlike power washing, rain doesn't typically soak into the siding of a home allowing for painting shortly after it stops raining.
Another factor is that eaves and soffits help keep rain from even hitting the house, keeping the siding dry and ready for paint.
Having the home's siding clean, dry and dull before painting is a key to success, which makes questions of when to do an exterior paint job after power washing and rain important.
A rule of thumb used by many painters is what's called the "sidewalk test," which is noting that if the sidewalk is dry after a rain then so is the siding and you can begin painting.
While that test tells you when you can paint, what happens if a sudden rain begins shortly after you have painted your house?
Well, most of the time -- in fact, nearly all the time, according to TruNorth Painting owner Eric Morud -- there is no problem if it rains after you paint siding.
That is because of several reasons:

In the lead-up to the UK's general election in May, the Catholic bishops of England and Wales have issued a guide and questionnaire for voters, asking Britons to raise the question of what the sanctity of life means to candidates. But the guide and questionnaire have been criticized by pro-life campaigners who are saying they make the "seamless garment" error and fail to challenge candidates on the critical issues of the definition of marriage, assisted suicide and embryonic research.
Published March 30, the questionnaire does not straightforwardly lay out Catholic teaching on the sanctity of life, but instead merely suggests "some issues and questions which may help inform your decision on who to vote for."
"They are open questions with no single 'right' answer," the guide says.
The questionnaire declined to lay out any hierarchy of importance of the issues, placing the direct killing of innocent persons by abortion or euthanasia in the same category as "life-cramping poverty, and the neglect of the elderly." It suggests that voters ask candidates, "What does respect for life mean to you? Do all lives have the same value? Older people and the infirm … the severely disabled … the unborn?"
The questionnaire does not mention any definition of marriage as being exclusively between one man and one woman, saying only, "Families are the basic building block of any stable society. Marriage provides the best context for bringing up children and must have the clear support and encouragement of Government."
After indications from the Conservative Party leadership that a Tory government would institute "gay marriage," the questionnaire suggests asking candidates only, "What will you do for marriage and the family? What practical measures will you take to encourage and support stable family life and the institution of marriage."
Following life and marriage, the questionnaire talks about "migration," poverty and "the place of religion in society."
The issues not brought up include assisted suicide, which has been much in the media limelight recently, and Britain's increasingly aggressive homosexualist political movement and its victories over freedom of religious expression in the equalities and "hate crime" legislation. Neither does the questionnaire or the guide address Britain's ongoing creation and use, by cloning and other methods, of embryonic human beings as live research subjects.
The questionnaire follows the publication of the bishops' voters' guide titled "Choosing the Common Good" in early March. The guide addresses abortion and euthanasia on page 12, following reflections on the economic crisis.
It says, "The abortion of the unborn, and euthanasia even when voluntary, are a fundamental denial of this principle [of the common good], because both are concerned with exclusion from the human community, both are contrary to the common good."
The guide then specifically cites the "seamless garment" theory that has been widely discredited by pro-life advocates, saying, "Both issues make clear that defence of the immeasurable value of human life is part of a 'seamless robe,' which requires all such threats to be taken seriously and opposed.
"Opposition to abortion requires a commitment to the alleviation of child poverty and high infant mortality; opposition to euthanasia demands concerted effort to remedy the social and economic conditions which lead to neglect, isolation, ill-health, and in poorer parts of the world low life expectancy among the elderly."
The Catechism of the Catholic Church, however, says that abortion must be opposed simply because it is the direct killing of innocent human life: murder. Paragraph 2322 of the Catechism says, "From its conception, the child has the right to life. Direct abortion, that is, abortion willed as an end or as a means, is a 'criminal' practice gravely contrary to the moral law. The Church imposes the canonical penalty of excommunication for this crime against human life."
The guide's section on marriage and family life is placed last in the list of issues, following sections on "Poverty and Inequality, the Care of the Elderly," "Migration and Community Relations," and "the Global Community and Ecology." Nowhere in the section on marriage does it give the definition as being between one man and one woman.
John Smeaton, head of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, wrote that the guide fails to challenge candidates or teach voters about the critical issues at hand.
"To suggest that there is 'no single right answer' to questions on pro-life matters is to suggest that candidates don't have a duty to uphold the right to life by voting against anti-life laws," Smeaton said.
Smeaton wrote that the guide and the questionnaire make the fundamental error of equating "second-order social issues with first-order moral issues."
"Putting poverty in the same category as abortion is to equate the relative with the absolute. This question thus repeats the 'seamless robe' error of the bishops' pre-election statement."
"Virtually all candidates will promise to fight against poverty, but many candidates will support and vote for abortion if elected," Smeaton added.

As Matt Scott thinks back over the last year, it is no surprise that he affords himself a smile, writes Gary Heatly.
Twelve months ago this weekend, the raw youngster was scoring one of Currie's tries in a 46-7 league thumping of Heriot's.
Now he is a fixture in the Edinburgh side in the RaboDirect Pro12 and Heineken Cup and is in line to make his Scotland A debut against the England Saxons on Friday evening at Netherdale in Galashiels.
"Things happen quickly in sport, but I couldn't have imaged the year I have had," he said.
"When I joined Edinburgh in the summer as an elite development player, I just wanted to work on my game and try to get a few matches under my belt in the first team when other guys were away with Scotland at the World Cup.
"However, myself and other younger players like Grant Gilchrist have managed to keep our places in the squad throughout the season and it really has been such a great few months for myself."
Having played mainly at stand-off for Currie, the 21-year-old seems to have found a niche at inside centre in the professional game and has become a key component of the exciting Edinburgh back line who all look comfortable with ball in hand.
Scott, who was recently handed a new two-year contract by the capital outfit, admits: "The style of play we have at Edinburgh really suits me. I love getting the ball in my hands and, when we are all on the same wavelength, we have put together some really good rugby. To qualify for the Heineken Cup quarter-finals has been great and the buzz around the place after beating London Irish last week was incredible."
Given his whirlwind 12 months, it is perhaps just as well that Scott has a sensible head on his shoulders and is not getting too carried away with everything that has happened.
A former head boy at Currie High School, he has been juggling his ever-increasing rugby commitments with a law degree at Edinburgh University over the last few years.
Even last week, while other Edinburgh players were jetting off for a mini break or relaxing during their time off, Scott had his head in his books ahead of finishing his studies in the summer.
This week, though, his thoughts will be fully focused on Friday night's Scotland A match in the Borders and he admits playing in that one would just top off a year of achievements – and set him up for a bright future.
"There is only one A match to impress in so I have to grab this opportunity with both hands. The coaches and selectors, from Scotland down the way, have shown that they are not scared to give youth a chance and it is up to me to put in a good performance," said Scott, whose only previous match against England was at under-20 level in a 27-6 defeat in 2010.
As well as Scott, his Edinburgh team-mate Tom Brown, Newcastle Falcons prop Grant Shiells and Glasgow Warriors hooker Pat MacArthur look set to debut at A level on Friday.
Other youngsters looking to continue to make a mark at this level are Edinburgh back-row Stuart McInally, who has two A caps, and Glasgow Warriors back row Ryan Wilson.
In 2011 Scotland A won the two matches they played against Ireland and Italy and new head coach Michael Bradley and his assistants Craig Chalmers and Stevie Scott will be keen to see that run continue. The last time Scotland and England met at this level they drew 6-6 at Bridgehaugh, Stirling, a decade ago.
Players selected for Scotland A to face England Saxons (on Friday, 3 February at Netherdale, Gala, at 7.30pm, entry free): Tom Brown, Jack Cuthbert, Alex Grove, Peter Murchie, Henry Pyrgos, Matthew Scott, Colin Shaw, Johnnie Beattie, Chris Fusaro, Roddy Grant, Ryan Grant, Pat MacArthur, Stuart McInally, Grant Shiells, Ryan Wilson. The squad will be supplemented by players from the Scotland training squad early in the week.

When I was abroad I enjoyed the habit of other nations just to know when breaking a rule makes perfectly sense.

I made my first rain fly from the material I got from Wally world. Turned out nice as long as you do not look close at the stitching that stuff is hard to sew!
anyway it is 11'6" across the ridge line. 12' d ring to d ring.
Info for you guys, I sewed it up first and then hung it nice and tight outside and applied the thinned out silicon with a paint roller. This was MUCH EASIER than doing the bucket dipping method that I tried as well. My thought also are that when it is hung taunt the material will open up between thread as it will be hanging and this is a better time to plug up the microscopic holes when it it is in its intended hanging shape.
Trick is to thin the material just right. thinner is better than too thick as you can go over it twice if needed but once it is too thick you end up with material that feels like wax paper.
Another piece of advice, when thinning do not dump a lot of thinner in at once, Just a small amount, stir rapid, add more, stir ect. Reason is you will not get a lot of floating thick chucks that will not get dissolved. once you get it thinned a bit you can add a higher amount at once but the first few thinner addings should be kept light so you can work it in good without separation. Hope this helps!
had the tarp outside in a rain last night and crawled under it this AM and the ground was dry and no drips inside. Now doing a sprinkler barrage as you can see in the photo.

It doesn't get more summery than this. Bean salad all around, ya'll.
Every time I make this, Joe goes ga-ga over it. I mean, obviously… how could you not. It's packed with protein, flavor, and healthy fats. So the next time someone asks where you get your protein from, just grab a fistful of this and toss it at them [nicely].
You will need:
- 1 15 oz can kidney beans
- 1 15 oz can black beans
- 1 15 oz can cannellini beans
- 1 1/2 cup frozen corn (canned is fine, too)
- 1/2 vidalia onion, chopped
- 2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
- 2 avocados, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup balsamic (or more, your preference!)
- 1/4 cup olive oil (more or less to your preference)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional heat)
- Sesame seeds (optional)
To make:
Quite possibly the easiest "to make" yet. Dump everything into a large bowl… mix. The end. xx bianca

Did you know that there is such a thing called government free credit report? If you didn't, then it's probably best if you read on to know more about credit reports. Everyday, people everywhere make all kinds of credit transactions. Think of the bill payments, the fares, the loans, and all other expenses you can think of. With the long list of expenses, people would be thankful if somehow all expenses were recorded. This is where the free credit report from the government comes in.
A government free credit report is a statement of all the credit transactions you have made—bill payments, loans, and even court summons, and whether or not someone is filing a suit against you. Aside from those, a credit report consists not only your credit history but also your address and credit scores.
The free credit report came to be thanks to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), which was passed by the government for the benefit of all consumers, requiring all authorized credit reporting agencies to provide free credit reports to all citizens, especially to those who request it.
How Can I Get My Government Free Credit Report?
There are two ways to request for your government free credit report. You can request it online or by mail. Before that, you should take note of the three credit reporting companies duly authorized by the government to provide free credit reports. They are:
- Equifax:
- (800) 685-1111
- or you can visit their site through their website
- Experian (formerly TRW):
- (888) 397-3742
- or you can visit www.experian.com
- Trans Union:
- (800) 916-8800 or (800) 888-4213
- or you can visit their website
Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union are recognized by the government and you can request your free credit report from any of these agencies by calling their respective contact numbers or visiting their websites. Another site you should take note of is Annual Credit Report. Annual Credit Report is a site also appropriately recognized by the government. You can also file for requests for credit reports through the said website.
A tip in requesting a government free credit report by the way, it is said that requests for a credit report are quicker when submitted online than requested by mail. So if you're in a hurry to get your credit report, you'll have better luck requesting it online.
Why Do I Need A Government Free Credit Report?
Most people underestimate the importance of a government free credit report. They think it's just another project of the government that wastes money. Think again. If the government went all through the effort of passing and implementing a bill to give out free credit reports to the citizens, most likely there is a very good reason for it.
Actually there are a lot of reasons why a credit report is important, regardless of whether or not it's free—don't worry, it's in fact free. The main one is for you to have the opportunity to review and verify your credit reports. Since a credit report lists your credit history, you will be reminded of your dues and be aware of the payments you have already complied with. Aside from that, you may also file for correction just in case there is any error in the information registered in your credit report.
Another significant reason is the chance for you to update yourself with your current credit score or credit points. With a credit report or credit history in your hands, you may check whether or not you may still avail of certain loans in the future by confirming your credit score.

CHAVEZ, R.H. y GUADARRAMA, J.J.. Fit of an Hydrodynamic Model for a Structured Packing Column using Experimental Data. Inf. tecnol. [online]. 2004, vol.15, n.2, pp.19-24. ISSN 0718-0764. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-07642004000200004.
The objective of the present study is to fit a hydrodynamic model for a packed column with structured packing, based on experimental values. Two packing materials were used, one was made by the Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Nucleares (ININ) of the gauze type made of brass and the other by Sulzer Ltda., also of the gauze type but made of stainless steel. The hydrodynamic model was fit using the method of least squares using the Levenberg and Marquardt methodology for non-linear equations. Experimental and theoretical pressure drops were determined using the model, as well as the fitted parameters of the model both for ININ and Sulzer BX packings. The ININ packing has a higher pressure drop than the Sulzer BX, due to its geometric characteristics. It is concluded that by using the fitted parameters of the model, flow regimes in the column may be defined when using ININ or Sulzer BX structured packing

From undergraduate engineering to Ph.D.
From undergraduate engineering to Ph.D.
The Vegas odds wouldn't have been good on this.
Two friends from the College of Engineering, Sarah Bauer and Sara Davis, have been accepted into the Ph.D. program at the University of Virginia. Not only have they been accepted, but both will begin fully-funded doctoral programs and they'll room together when they settle down in Charlottesville later this summer.
Bauer, 22, a civil and environmental engineering major from Woolwich Township, tapped into a love for research at Rowan with the study of algae-derived biofuels. At U. Va. she'll focus on environmental engineering, conducting research with a faculty member into water and wastewater treatment processes.
Davis, 22, an electrical and computer engineering major from Westfield, may continue work in signal processing and communications, a field she explored through classes and in an internship with Verizon in Basking Ridge.
Both exceptional students – Bauer is graduating cum laude and Davis magna cum laude, and both graduates of the Bantivoglio Honors Concentration – the two completed numerous graduate school applications in the midst of their very demanding senior year.
"As we were applying we said 'how weird would it be if we both got into the same school and became roommates?'" Davis said. "Somehow we did it and I'm very glad it worked out that way."
Research oriented
Bauer, who explored the untapped potential of algae-derived biofuels at Rowan with Dr. Kauser Jahan, said the extensive research experience she gained as an undergraduate appealed to the faculty at U. Va.
"The idea was to study the potential of microalgae as a feasible biofuel source," she said. "It grows all over the world in any body of fresh water and produces lipids, a fatty acid, that are unsaturated. Because these lipids require little treatment before they can be converted to a biofuel researchers are actively looking at them."
Davis, who interviewed with several U. Va. faculty members, said her research might involve the fields of fingerprint and facial recognition, an area she also explored at Rowan.
She said Rowan's clinics program, a hallmark of the College of Engineering, gave her hands-on experience that impressed U. Va.
"The professors at Rowan try to gear you toward graduate school," she said. "And if they saw that you could do more, they'd encourage it. It definitely made me want to do better and I did."
In addition to the required clinics programs, both students took advantage of extracurricular engineering activities. Both were involved with the Society of Women Engineers, in which Bauer is a former president, and Davis was active in the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, a club on campus, and Bauer in the American Society of Civil Engineering.
Associate Dean Steven Chin said he expects brilliance from Bauer and Davis, whatever path they follow.
"Rowan's engineering program is gaining national recognition for its ability to generate students who are ready to make contributions in important research areas and Sarah Bauer and Sara Davis are shining examples," Dr. Chin said.
As they leave Rowan and prepare for their five-year doctoral program, Davis and Bauer believe they already know what they want to do when it's done.
Said Bauer: "I'll get my Ph.D. and hopefully be offered a faculty position in environmental engineering at a university. Ultimately I want to become dean of a college of engineering."
Said Davis: "I really like industry so that's where I want to start. Eventually I'd like to become a professor and teach too."

Xavier Vilalta pleated water-proof material into zigzags, aligning them and interweaving them to produce an air- and light-permeable partition. The suspended green wall would function well as a drapery alternative, diffusing direct rays from the sun and using them to cultivate all sorts of blossoms and foliage by the window.

Last month, my husband suggested that we enroll in a Tai Chi class. As a 40-ish woman who preferred active sports like swimming, kickboxing and taekwondo, Tai Chi is the last exercise i would want to do. For me, it is a "slow" sports meant for "older" folks who cannot be quick enough to move fast. It won't pump my heart enough to satisfy my cardiovascular exercise. These were my preconceived ideas.
But i want to be a witness to my husband's life. When you are married, half of you is different. Half of you is an unexplored territory. You cannot know the other half in your lifetime unless you intentionally create a bonding. Hence, i joined.
After several meetings, i discovered that Tai Chi is a form of martial arts, taught in steps, sections, bits and pieces. Whenever i practice at home, my husband would either join me or correct my movements. In class, my "kikay" personality would come out whenever the teacher freezes the step and we were left hanging there - left foot tiptoed, right arm up in the air, right leg bent with all our weight resting on it - and it was crazy trying to find my equilibrium. So, i would shake my hips and start acting funny. My East Indian classmate would smile as he could see it from my back. My husband doesn't see it for he is in front of me.
Every week, my husband and i exercise with seven or eight more chinese and east indian classmates. Relationships are developed in those meetings. What's more important, my classmates could see how my husband and I relate - lovingly and with respect.
Tai Chi reminds me of developing marriage relationships. It comes in small sections, steps, bits and pieces.

WAMC drives raises $240,000 for Sandy relief
Published 9:41 am, Friday, November 9, 2012
ALBANY — WAMC Northeast Public Radio's special fund drive on Thursday to support victims of Superstorm Sandy raised $240,000, with more pledges continuing to come in Thursday evening, the station said. Funds will go the American Red Cross.
"From the volunteers on the phones to the people who brought food, to everyone who called, people's generosity was astounding," said Alan Chartock, WAMC's president and CEO. "Many of the callers had connections with people who were directly impacted by Sandy, others remembered how the Red Cross helped them when Irene struck. I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and incredibly proud of the WAMC family."
WAMC, which received a special waiver from the Federal Communications Commission to conduct the drive for an entity other than itself, has in the past held special drives for victims of Hurricane Katrina and Tropical Storm Irene, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, and the 2010 Haiti earthquake.

Theeeeeeeeey're Baaaaaaaaaack… Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne return to the big screen 20 years after they first lit up theaters in 1994. Hopefully back and better than ever. The plot is simple and to the point:
"Lloyd and Harry on a road trip to find a child Harry never knew he had and the responsibility neither should ever, ever be given."
The Farrelly brothers strike again. They have spearheaded some of the funniest movie moments of the last 20 years and the new trailer sure has one of those. It's at the end of the trailer… and it made Jimmy Fallon lose his sh*t. It is brilliant. BTW… the ending maybe a little NSFW… but damn funny.
Will they find Harry's long lost child? Possibly. Will they get into wacky situations? Obviously. Will we all be as entertained as they first time they went on a road trip together? I hope so. We find out for sure in November of this year.

!NEW Release 2.2 is finally out, with code & performance improvements and a lot of new features! Check changes in release notes
Elysia Cron extends Drupal standard cron, allowing a fine grain control over each task and several ways to add custom cron jobs to your site.
- Set the timings and frequencies of each cron task (you can run some jobs every day at a specified hour, other only monthly and so on...). For each task you can simply choose between some frequently used options ("once a day", "once a month" ...), or use a powerful "linux crontab"-like syntax to set the accurate timings. You can even define your frequently used options to speed up site configuration.
- Parallel execution of cron task: you can group jobs in channels and execute then simultaneously: so a task that takes a lot of time to execute won't block other tasks that need to be executed every 5 minutes...
- You can disable all tasks, an entire channel or a single task.
- Change the priority/order of task execution.
- Manual force the execution of a cron tasks.
- Detailed overview of cron status with time statistics for single tasks and channels.
- powerful API for module developers: you can define extra cron tasks for your modules, each one with own default timings (site administrators can override them by configuration, other modules via hook_alter).
- Administrators can define custom jobs (call to functions with parameters), via the "script" option.
- Several optimization for frequent cron calls and error handling.
- Protection from external cron calling by cron_key or allowed host list.
Elysia has no dependencies with contributed modules, and doesn't need to patch the core: it can be used in minimal Drupal installation with only core modules.
3rd party integration:
- Ping feature, for external tracking services like host-tracker to tell whether cron is functioning properly on your site.
- Drush support: you can call "drush elysia-cron run" to manually run extended cron.
- CTools support for exports/backup of task settings.
- Features support.
Elysia cron is usually used in large sites that needs performance optimization.
- Avoid drupal peak loads by distributing heavy load tasks during quiet periods of the day: for example you may want to rebuild the XML Sitemap of your site at 2:00AM in the morning, where usually only a few people are visiting your site. You can even move some tasks to be executed only once a month (log rotation, old records expiry...).
- If you have tasks that should be executed very often, but don't want to execute ALL drupal cron tasks that often! For example, you may want to check for emails that needs to be sent to your users every 2 minutes. Standard cron is managed in a "monolithic" way, so even if you find out how to execute it every 2 minutes, you will end in having all cron tasks executed so often, with a lot of performance problems.
- Fine tune cron cache management : drupal cron will invalidate variable cache every cron run, and this is a great performance problem if you have a frequently called task. Elysia cron optimize cache management, and doesn't need to invalidate cache.
- Setup tasks that should be run at a precise time: for example if you want to send a SimpleNews newsletter every monday at 9:00AM, you can do it.
- Parallel execution: if you have a task that takes a lot of time to execute, you can setup a different channel for it so it won't block other tasks that need to be executed every 5 minutes.
- Turn off (disable) a cron task/feature you don't need.
- Debug system cron problems. If your cron does not terminate correctly you can use extended logging, see at each cron timings and disable task to track down the problem.
For the basic install you only need to enable the module and Elysia Cron will be up and running.
You can stop here if you don't need a great precision over task execution and you don't have to execute a task more often than once an hour.
For example, if you need only the "Once a day", "Once a week" or "Once a month" schedule rules the basic install is fine.
(For D6 users that want to stop here: you should have installed Drupal crontab as described in Drupal INSTALL guide).
However to get the full potential out of elysia cron and have the full control over you tasks a further step is needed: you need to configure the system crontab to execute drupal cron every minute.
Follow the Drupal guide about this: http://drupal.org/cron
The only difference is that you should use the "* * * * *" rule part instead of "0 * * * *" or "45 * * * *" as described in the guide.
Drush usage
Run all cron tasks in all active modules for specified site using elysia cron system. This replaces the standard "core-cron" drush handler.
elysia-cron run Run all cron tasks in all active modules (as the standard "core-cron")
elysia-cron run --verbose Run all cron tasks in verbose mode
elysia-cron run @channel Run all cron tasks in specified channel
elysia-cron run search_cron Run only search index build task (force execution)
elysia-cron list --elysia-cron-verbose List all channels/tasks in verbose mode
elysia-cron disable search_cron Disable search index build task
--elysia-cron-verbose enable extended output (the same as --verbose, but without enabling drush verbose mode)
--ignore-disable run channels/tasks even if disabled
--ignore-running run channels/tasks even if already running
--ignore-time run channels/tasks even if not ready for execution
--quiet suppress all output
--verbose enable extended output
API: Example of a module defining its cron jobs
function example_cronapi($op, $job = NULL) {
$items['example_sendmail_cron'] = array(
'description' => 'Send mail with news',
'rule' => '0 */2 * * *', // Every 2 hours
// Note: i don't need to define a callback, i'll use "example_sendmail_cron"
// function
$items['example_news_cron'] = array(
'description' => 'Send mail with news',
'rule' => '*/5 * * * *', // Every 5 minutes
// i must call: example_news_fetch('all')
'callback' => 'example_news_fetch',
'arguments' => array('all'),
return $items;
function example_sendmail_cron() {
// ...
function example_news_fetch($what) {
// ...

One of my best friends has been struggling for the last ten years to finish her dissertation. She's brilliant, has an impeccable academic pedigree, and her graduate papers are charmingly readable. Many times I have urged her to just quit; she has an independent income, and besides, she's so smart, she doesn't need a PhD to prove it. Yet a combination of family pressure, guilt, and habit have propelled her onward.
As Matt Groening's early cartoon [2] illustrates, graduate school asks you to put off your life.
You grow older, but you have nothing to show for it; life gets put on hold until you have no life. Although I finished my own doctorate lickety-split, I regret the extent to which I put my own life on hold during graduate school. I guess I thought that life was a zero-sum game: if I put less into my personal life, I would be more successful in my career. This is true, but only up to a point. There are some activities and relationships that generate energy, that provide balance, and that offer a safe place to fall when your career hits a snag.
Once finished with the doctorate, the tenure process often asks faculty, particularly women, to delay their lives some more. In a recent article, [3] Mary Ann Mason notes that women faculty members have fewer children than women in all other professional fields.
"Among female faculty members who worked between 50-59 hours a week, 41 percent reported children in the household, compared with a robust 67 percent for female doctors." She goes on to analyze the discrepancy between male and female professors, but I'm left wondering, why is it harder for women to have personal lives in academia than in other professions? I wonder if it has something to do with the all-encompassing nature of the academic life. There is not a strict demarcation between when we're off and on the clock. In addition, the pathologically competitive job market can foster a hyper workaholism. As I told my husband once, when he was complaining about my working at night, "the really successful academics work on Christmas day."
A few years ago, frustrated that my friend was so palpably unhappy, I gave her some odd advice: I told her to have a baby. "It will either snap everything into focus or you'll never get anything done for the rest of your life," I jokingly advised. What I meant was, start living your life. Graduate school (and academia) will not reward your slavish devotion.
In the past few years, she moved across country, met a sexy carpenter, and got pregnant at 42. When I watch her with her boisterous baby, I see a more confident woman, a grounded person whose identity is not tied to academic performance. And now she seems to be nearing the home stretch of her dissertation. The last time we talked, she was thinking about applying for jobs. She wondered about part-time teaching, or whether that would preclude her from ever getting a full-time position. "Just ask yourself," I told her, "how much of your life are you willing to give to the academy?"

WASHINGTON -- A mile-wide asteroid described as "the most dangerous one we've found so far" may be on course for a 2028 collision with Earth and certainly will pass closer than any such object in modern times, astronomers said Wednesday.
"The chance of an actual collision is small, but one is not entirely out of the question," according to a notice filed by the International Astronomical Union. But asteroid specialist Jack G. Hills said the speeding space rock, called asteroid 1997 XF11, poses a real danger to Earth.
"This is the first really big one to pass this close," said Hills, a Los Alamos National Laboratory scientist. "This is the most dangerous one we've found so far."
He added: "It scares me. It really does. An object this big hitting the Earth has the potential of killing many, many people."
"It has enormous destructive potential," agreed Steven Maran of the American Astronomical Society, but he added it will take several more years of observations before experts are certain of its path
Asteroid 1997 XF11 was discovered Dec. 6 by the University of Arizona Spacewatch program and was added to a list of 108 asteroids considered to be "potentially hazardous objects."
Maran noted that no asteroid the size of 1997 XF11 has ever been predicted to pass so close to the Earth.
Asteroids are routinely observed and plotted by astronomers around the world because of their potential for great destruction on Earth.
An asteroid 6 to 10 miles across collided with the Earth about 65 million years ago and is thought to have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, along with 75 percent of all other species.
Hills said an asteroid the size of 1997 XF11 colliding with the Earth at more than 17,000 miles an hour would explode with an energy of about 320,000 megatons of dynamite. That equals almost 2 million Hiroshima-sized atomic bombs.
Such an asteroid hitting the ocean, said Hills, would create a tidal wave hundreds of feet high, causing extreme flooding for thousands of miles of coast line.
"If one like this hit in the Atlantic Ocean, all of the coastal cities would be scoured by the tsunami," said Hills. "Where cities stood, there would be only mudflats."
If such an asteroid hit on land, he said, it would instantly dig a crater 20 miles across and so clog the sky with dust and vapor that the sun would be darkened "for weeks, if not months."
Maran said the best estimate is that the mile-wide 1997 XF11 will pass inside the orbit of the moon, with the most likely separation from the center of the Earth of about 30,000 miles. The Earth has a radius of about 4,000 miles.
The estimate, said Maran, has a margin of error of more than 180,000 miles. This means a collision with Earth is theoretically possible, but uncertain at this time, he said.
Better estimates of the collision potential will be generated as astronomers plot the course of the asteroid through the heavens over the next few years.
Observations made earlier this month by University of Texas astronomers indicated the asteroid would make its nearest approach to the Earth on Oct. 26, 2028, at about 1:30 p.m. EDT.
"There is still some uncertainty to the computation," said the bulletin from the International Astronomical Union.
The notice said the asteroid, which is on a wide-swinging, independent orbit of the sun, will move out of view to all but the largest telescopes over the next few months. It will become more visible once again in 2000. And in 2002, it is expected to pass within about 6 million miles of Earth on Halloween Eve.
Hills said the asteroid is lost from view when it passes behind the sun, but that it will emerge into telescope range about every two years.
Astronomers eventually will be able to track the object using radar, he said, and this will enable them to establish a precise orbital path years ahead of the possible impact. Only then, said Hills, will the true risk of collision be known.
Experts long concerned about the potential danger of asteroids have said the Earth could be protected by exploding a missile near the speeding rock while it was far away. The intent would be to nudge the asteroid onto a path that would send it safely away from the planet.
"If it is going to hit the Earth, there's no question that we should try to deflect it," said Hills. "It would be money well spent."

This post is raw and holds nothing back. If you're uncomfortable with vulgar language, please turn back.
September 9, 2008
By: Hoover
I didn't, actually. I just worked all the time. I gained 25 pounds, and developed varicose veins and plantar faciitis so painful, I took analgesics constantly. My blood pressure went up, and despite my best efforts, I could not eat healthy as a resident. I developed prediabetes, and basically ignored my physical needs altogether. It is a show of weakness to express the need for the requirement of basic human needs as a surgical resident. Going to the bathroom was a big deal, actually. My only saving grace was the fact that I was only in my mid/late 20s, and my body tolerated the abuse…abuse that would be difficult (perhaps impossible) to physically recover from for someone a bit older.
I had no hobbies, nor could I engage in any meaningful discussion with other people (outside of medicine), since I had no time to engage in the world activities and issues. I became very one dimensional, and my entire identity became "me, the surgeon."
Are you convinced to leave medicine? If so, you may feel like you are alone. You may feel clueless about what to do next. However, quitting medicine could turn out better than you have ever thought possible. And here is why you should get out …
This article is part of Hoover's Med School Hell series. Med School Hell reveals the crazy truth about the crappiness of the US medical education and healthcare system … while making you laugh so hard, you'll crap in your pants.

*NEW* Little-Known Secrets of Enzymes
In the early 20th century, Canadian Doctor William Osler offered us the concept that "we dig our graves with our forks and knives." And at present the truth of this statement lies in the fact that in the Western world our diseases are of excess, not deficiency, as with the third world and in our distant past.
Straight Talk about Liquid Vitamin D and Your Health
It is tough to get enough Vitamin D from sunlight or diet (fish and fortified dairy are best sources), so you need to supplement to attain optimal levels. Early symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency can include difficulty rising from a chair or climbing stairs and muscle pain. Many experts believe that Vitamin D levels should be screened annually.
"Vitamin D has more potential than any other vitamin or micronutrient to prevent cancer."
"We're recommending 1000 IU's (Vitamin D) daily because the current evidence suggests this amount will reduce risk."
Here's How You Can Treat Adrenal Fatigue
Conventional wisdom says, that if you've been abusing your body, overdoing it, borrowing from your adrenal gland "bank", that you need to stop doing it. Naturalnews.com says that you can recover from your Adrenal Fatigue in anywhere from 6 to 24 months, a number of things that may be difficult for you to do with your current lifestyle. That's a long time! The good news is this: You can begin to see results in as little as 2-4 weeks after taking a special herbal supplement. But first, here's what Naturalnews recommends:

I have a '04 sentra 1.8 S. 79,900 miles. I've only had one problem with it since I bought it new in '03 (cd player) but for the last couple of months it wants to take five to ten seconds of cranking to get it started after the motor is warm. When the motor is cold, it starts like a champ. I've talked to some mechanics in the area that said it's probably a fuel pump. My question is, could it be anything else (and cheaper) to look into first. I've had it on a machine, it shows no codes as far as anything being distressed.
Do I spend the $400-$550 to get a new pump installed or take it back to the dealer and have them check the fuel pressure and anything else it could be?
any info would be insanly appreciated
have the same problem?

FK – This world is just one big game of 'king of the hill' and oil and fossil fuels are like diamonds, in that there's plenty and it's all about who controls the spigot and the vaults and the ones and zeroes that constitute modern money.
Or they're over there looking for that alien tech… they don't want us to have.
The submissive have been surviving to breed for a very long time and lots of ignorant 19-year-olds die in wars so why should the elite have to fight?
No sacred cows, or a new global Bill of Rights
A 'populist' view:
FK – The question remains did they give Trump 'the talk' before or after the election cycle?
Trump as click bait, and other things…
The killer bees of fake news
The patriot newbie guidebook
A 'libertarian' view:
FK – Who or what is really behind our involvement in the Middle East? Why do we stay involved in that quagmire? How much oil is there really under the ground or why do we war over who controls the spigot when there's plenty of fossil fuel?
Things haven't changed that much in the last hundred years or so:
"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents."
― Smedley D. Butler, War is a Racket: The Antiwar Classic by America's Most Decorated Soldier
I call them the unmentionables. In a free country there's no such thing as a group whose motives cannot be questioned. When we have that we have a serious problem. We have a serious problem. In fact we have several.
