A man who was ejected from his car in an accident on La Grange Road Friday morning is still hospitalized at the University of Louisville.
Shelby County Sheriff's Deputy Gene Witt said that Scott A. Lynn, 33, of La Grange was traveling southbound on KY 53, about two miles south of the Oldham County line when his car ran off the road.
Kentucky started Wednesday what leaders are saying will be a sweeping national reform in education.
The Kentucky Board of Education, the Council on Postsecondary Education and the Education Professional Standards Board signed a resolution that agreed to implement the Common Core State Standards in English/language arts and math, ensuring that Kentucky will integrate the standards into the state's public education system.
INDEPENDENCE -- The Lady Rockets' season came to a end Friday at the deft hands of 8th Region Player of the Year Sydni Wainscott and the Lady Pioneers. Simon Kenton won 69-49 in the semifinal round of the region tournament on their home court.
Freshman Aaliyah Wells, Shelby's leading rebounder and one of the top scorers, went down in the second quarter with an ankle injury. The loss of Wells, coupled with a poor shooting night against a tenacious Lady Pioneer defense, put a Shelby comeback beyond reach.
Tears, laughter, applause and ultimately, a standing ovation, proved speaker Nathan Winograd's words to be true - Americans do love their pets.
Winograd's "Building a No Kill Kentucky" presentation at Shelby Christian Church on Saturday night was aimed at educating the public on the plight that animal shelters face with the euthanatizing animals.

A "No Kill Kentucky" event will be held Saturday night in the Shelby Christian Church gymnasium, featuring Nathan J. Winograd, author, radio host and founder of the No Kill Advocacy Center.
Winograd will explain the steps of becoming a "No Kill Kentucky" during an address to animal lovers, humane societies, rescue organizations, animal control officers and the public at 5 p.m. at 2375 Frankfort Road.
Shelby Christian Church pastor Dave Hamlin said Thursday that at least 300 people had registered to attend.

Hunky Irish actor Colin Farrell, 32, was photographed recently in Spain looking like death warmed over. His emaciated frame and hollow, sunken cheeks are startling to say the least. Click HERE! to see.
Perhaps the severe weight loss is for his new film, "Triage," about a photographer in war-torn Bosnia, starring Spanish actress Paz Vega and legendary British actor Christopher Lee. Remember Colin buffed — and bulked — up to play Alexander the Great in Oliver Stone's 2004 epic flop.
Let's hope the former hard-partying boy hasn't fallen back into his old ways. He voluntarily checked into a rehab in December 2005. His son was born in 2003 with Angelman Syndrome, a genetic disorder that displays symptoms such as intellectual and development delays, speech impediment, sleep disturbance and seizures.
That's enough to sober anyone up. On fatherhood, Colin has admitted: "I think it only changes you if you want it to change you. It didn't change me for about two years until I curbed a certain way I was living."
Fingers crossed he's still curbing. That little boy needs his daddy.

Emma Watson wants to be a "proper, proper nerd".
The 'Harry Potter' star can't wait to return to her studies and start university later this year - because she wants to be a geek.
She explained: "For someone who has missed as much school as I have, I want to go back and discover what else there is. I always loved school - I was a proper, proper nerd. I just want that back again."
The 19-year-old British actress, who is due to start at the prestigious Yale University in September, admits she is surprised she has chosen to study in the US.
She said: "I never thought that I would want to go to America for university. As a child, I aspired to go to Oxford or Cambridge, because that's where my parents went. When my dad talks about his time there, he says it was the most incredible experience."
But the intelligent teenager - who plans to study history, English, French, politics and art - is keen to put her acting career behind her and focus on her education.
She explained to Interview magazine: "Since I haven't been in school since July, I've only now realised how much I miss it. I don't make time for it now, and you really have to sit yourself down and think about it and do it. As much as I could, when I wasn't filming, I would go to school. When filming, I would send all of my work back to be marked by my teachers. As I got older, though, it was harder to slip in and out."

New London — Lawrence & Memorial Hospital on Thursday announced layoffs of 22 employees, an action it said it needed to take to close a $3.2 million budget gap.
The layoffs, effective immediately, will eliminate the jobs of 14 full-time and eight part-time employees in a variety of departments "from the director level on down," hospital spokesman Mike O'Farrell said.
Half the laid-off employees are members of one of the three hospital unions, and half are non-union. All of the affected employees were given severance packages, he added. The 22 layoffs account for less than 1 percent of the hospital's workforce.
Eric Bailey, spokesman for AFT Connecticut, said that of the 11 union members, two or three were members of the nurses' local and the rest were in the service and maintenance workers' local.
The budget gap is the result of a decline in inpatient volumes in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, cuts in Medicare and private insurance reimbursement income, the continuing need to invest in technology for an electronic medical records system, rising employee benefit costs, and other factors, O'Farrell said.
The Board of Directors approved a budget for the new fiscal year that began Oct. 1 that was based on a revenue-expense ratio $3.2 million short of the level it wanted to achieve, along with a plan to close the gap. Over the past six weeks, the hospital has worked to close the gap through cost savings on supplies, overtime and the elimination of vacant positions, but did not achieve enough savings, he said.
The board mandates that the hospital achieve at least a 3 percent margin of revenues over expenses. Total hospital revenues are about $320 million annually.
O'Farrell said the hospital ended the last fiscal year in the black, but the layoffs combined with other cost-cutting measures were needed put it back on track to reach the 3 percent margin in the new fiscal year.
"We had to do this to make sure we continue to be strong," he said.
He emphasized that no hospital services have been eliminated as a result of the layoffs.
The recent presidential election, which set the Affordable Care Act on a path toward full implementation, had no bearing on the decision to lay off employees, he added.
The layoffs come as L&M is involved in several major projects, including the $34.5 million Dana-Farber cancer center under construction in Waterford, a seven-year, $32 million investment in an electronic medical records system, the pending acquisition of The Westerly Hospital for $69 million in cash and other financial commitments, and the construction of a 14,000-square-foot medical office building in Old Lyme.
O'Farrell said the hospital needs to simultaneously cut costs and invest in expansion to continue to grow its market.
"It has to do with how the health care landscape is constantly changing and how we're finding ways to adapt," he said. "We have to find a way to increase revenues through investments and at the same time make the overall infrastructure stronger."
The layoffs, he said, were a painful but necessary step.
"This is the last thing that anyone wants to do," O'Farrell said. "We had to reach a number and we tried a variety of ways to get there, and the longer we waited, the more positions would have been affected."
With about 2,500 full-time employees, L&M is one of the region's largest employers.
In the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, L&M cared for 14,942 inpatients, about 400 less than the previous year. At the same time, it saw increases in emergency department visits as well as in outpatient visits for same-day surgery, lab work and imaging, but the income from those sources did not offset the loss from inpatients and the increases in expenses, O'Farrell said.
Bailey said that under the union contracts, employees have "bumping rights," meaning that if they receive a layoff notice, they can move into the job of a less senior employee, and that person would instead be laid off.
"We'll just handle this contractually and make sure people get all the benefits they're entitled to," he said. "Obviously it's tough, especially with the holidays right around the corner."
The union will provide assistance to help those affected find new jobs and "make sure people end up back on their feet," he said.

- John Laughlin Jr's Profile
- Images
- Family Tree & Genealogy Tools
". . .John Laughlin, my great grandfather, came from Ireland, with his family, consisting of three sons, John, James, and Alexander, James being the eldest, and Alexander the youngest, and three daughters, Jane, Elizabeth and Margaret, and on arriving in the then Colonies, at Philadelphia, about the year 1740, removed first to Chester County and then to the vicinity of where Harrisburg now stands in Pennsylvania, now Dauphin County I believe. About the year 1760, as Benjamin Sharp, my great uncle believes, (see his letter to me in my books of letters of 4 January, 1845, written from Warren County, Missouri) and about the year 1764, as my father remembers from family tradition, my great grandfather and his family, and many of his connections, intermarriages with the Sharps, Duncan's, etc. having been formed, removed from Pennsylvania to Virginia. My grandfather John Laughlin had married Mary Price in Pennsylvania, removed to what is now Bote Tounte County, near the place where the town of Fincastle stands previous to the year 1766, for in that year his second son, John who is my father, was born at that place. All the others, on removing, settled near the same place, or went on farther west and settled in what is now Russell County. My grandfather and great grandfather afterwards also removed to what is now Russell County and before the commencement of the Revolutionary war two or three years, to what is now Washington County, Virginia near Abingdon. There my great grandfather died before I was born. My grandfather, John, finally settled on the head of a creek under the Knobs, as a chain of mountains are called, called I believe, Sharp's Creek. He lived there until his death about 1813 or latter part of 1812.. . ."_____He was appointed Lieutenant in the Tennessee Militia (Sullivan) on 25 Oct 1790_____"
. . .Laughlin (John of 1710 father/grandfather was Iain/Seamus or Seamus/Iain Laughlin/McLaughlin. *according to Gregory Kent Laughlin's website.I am descended from John Laughlin b. 1710 in Northern Ireland (Ulster), m. Jane Matthews. Jane's father said to be a John Matthews.I ran across records a long time back on a plantation owned by John Sr. ( I think was Sr) called Reliance. Bought from an Alexander.Their son John Laughlin (Jr) b. ca. 1736-38 in Ire & marr. Mary Price in Hanover, PA.(This John was 16 when they came over according to S.H. Laughlin's diary).Their daughter Jane Laughlin marr. Samuel McGaughey ( thats where my Laughlin line enters).According to all the researchers I have talked with, the story is that 4 Laughlin brothers came over abt 1752. William, Adam, John and Robert ( With the Breading and Ewing familes) and then other family members followed later.All the info I have gathered so far suggests that this Laughlin Line came from the MacLachlans of Scotland. Name change to McLauglin then to Laughlin.Don Millikin of Washington State says that the story is 2 Maclachlan brothers came over to Ireland with the King James Plantation scheme. Probably in the Derry County area. Londonderry.Other info ( not verified) suggests they may have lived in an the town of Bovevagh in Derry. (prob in 1600's)Then later in County Down, I get the name Dervock/Darvock. (this may have been my John of 1710)*The only verifiable fact is that a record of the marriage apparently does exist in Ireland for John Laughlin and Jane Matthews in 1735 Belfast. Someone told me they had it but I have never gotten a copy.Also other info says that they lived about 4 miles from Belfast.. . .
"_____My [grandfather] John, married Mary Price, as has been stated, and had a numerous family of children. His final residence, about nine miles southwest of Abingdon, the farm having been inherited by his youngest son, Alexander now (1845) being a citizen of Coles Co. Illinois, is now, with the old farm of 7 or 8 hundred acres the property of John Thomas of Sullivan Co. Tennessee; and on the final adjustment of the boundary lines, by Mr. Taylor and other commissioners on the part of the States of Tennessee and Virginia, was ascertained to lie in the former state. In the time of the excise taxes of Washington's and Adams' administrations, it was claimed by both states, and lay in a strip of country a few miles between different lines, run by different boards of commissioners and neither state by law having exclusive jurisdiction, and even the Acts of Congress being enforced in neither between these lines because of some defect, the whole country, and every farm where water could be procured, was the site of a distillery. The repeal of the excise laws put an end to this state of things.In the reminiscences of my grandfather Laughlin, and my father, I have omitted to mention in the proper connection that a fierce Indian war broke out on Holston, about Abingdon, in the year 1776, and that the people, among whom was my grandfather's family were for a long time confined to an old stockade fort, called Black's Fort, which stood on the hill just south of the public part of Abingdon, across the little creek. In this subject, see two letters of the 13th of July and 15th of June, 1842, in Williams' American Pioneer, printed in Cincinnati, Ohio in that year, at pages 133 and 358.Laughlin, Samuel Hervey, "A Diary of Public Events and Notices of My Life and Family and of My Private Transactions," [1]

Modern Historiography Reader by Dr Adam Budd
Book DescriptionIn The Modern Historiography Reader, Adam Budd guides readers through European and North American developments in history-writing since the eighteenth century. Starting with Enlightenment history and moving through subjects such as moral history, national history, the emergence of history as a profession, and the impact of scientific principles on history, he then looks at some of the most important developments in twentieth-century historiography such as social history, traumatic memory, postcolonialism, gender history, postmodernism, and the history of material objects. This is the only book that brings together historiographical writing from anthropology, literary theory, philosophy, psychology, and sociology - as well as history. Each of the thirteen thematic sections begins with a clear introduction that familiarizes readers with the topics and articles, setting them in their wider contexts. They explain what historiography is, how historians' perspectives and sources determine the kinds of questions they ask, and discuss how social and ideological developments have shaped historical writing over the past three centuries. With a glossary of critical terms and reading lists for each section, The Modern Historiography Reader: Western Sources is the perfect introduction to modern historiography.

|Lynsey Dyer Interview
|Wednesday, 08 January 2014 22:54
We catch up with Lynsey Dyer as her Kickstarter project Pretty Faces enters its final phase of funding!
picture souce: lynseydyer.com
What sets Pretty Faces apart from past all-female films like Say My Name and Shades of Winter?
Besides being involved as a skier in the upcoming film, what roles have you had to take on and what's surprised you the most?
How much footage have you already got?
Besides getting sponsorship and funding what's been the biggest obstacle?
Have you already got any plans on which resorts/areas you're going to visit to get footage?
You have managed to have a successful career and been involved with many flagship film companies. Do you feel the journey has been more difficult as a female?
What do you say to those who say that becoming a successful freeskier as a female is easier providing you have the talent as there is less competition.
If there was one thing you could change about the industry, what would it be?
What's the funniest thing that's happened whilst filming?
Favourite ski resort?
Lastly, for those who don't know much about the SheJumps organisation you help run, what is it?

This review is from: Seagate FreeAgent Theater+ USB 2.0 / Ethernet HD Media Player Only STCEA201-RK
Pros: Plays just about every format. Compact so can sit right on my fireplace mantle. Can install Net Remote iPhone app to use as a remote (you'll want this if you have an iPhone for reasons noted in the Cons section). Netflix capability is nice but can't search.
Cons: Remote sucks as you need to stand within 10 ft and aim it directly to the unit. Would be nice to have basic buttons on the unit for those days when the remote is MIA. It occasionally reboots for no apparent reason. Very few USB network adapters work with this unit so do your research first.
Other Thoughts: Overall, worth the money.READ FULL REVIEW

Pros: Not much to say but that they burn fine so far using my external Lite-On burner and can't beat the price.
Cons: I read about the packaging issues where folks said that their discs arrived scattered all inside the box. I figured it was maybe an isolated case or two but.....mine came in the same condition! Luckily no discs were scratched.READ FULL REVIEW

Pollinators of Tropical Dioecious Angiosperms: A Reassessment? No, not yet

The association between dioecy and generalist mode of pollination suggested about 20 years ago has been recently questioned. It is argued that there is evidence to indicate that a disproportionate number of dioccious species have relatively smaller flowers and a more generalist mode of pollination than hermaphroditic taxa. This trend seems to hold at the community level as well as within genera containing dioecious and hermaphroditic species. Like other correlations among characters, correlations among dioecy, small flower size, and pollination systems provide important insights into mechanisms of plant evolution.

Subject: Re: [iris-photos] intro
Ah...the dilemma. It is a beautiful seedling,
one I would be proud to grow. So, commercially yes, it should be
introduced. However, the bud thing bothers me as well. The reason
7 buds are required is so that a clump will stay in bloom for 2 weeks.
The number one criticism that I hear about our favorite flower is that
they bloom for such a short time. If we start/continue the practise of
introducing, and propogating iris that only have 5, or fewer, buds and will
not stay in bloom for two weeks then we are shooting ourselves in the
I grow and love many iris that are beautiful in flower
and form and will never receive a vote on a ballot because they do not perform
up to specifications. There is nothing wrong with that. Many iris
are commercially successful without being award worthy and there is nothing
wrong with that either.

need feedback please..... very bright well
formed seedling.... sometimes only 5 buds, will vary from 5 to 7 averaging

Traffic Expert Needed
This project received 5 bids from talented freelancers with an average bid price of $77 USD.Get free quotes for a project like this
Project Budget$30 - $250 USD
Total Bids5
Project Description
Traffic Expert Needed!
I am an affiliate and I am trying to do some massive selling. Anyone who has a
buyers list or knows how to get targeted buyer traffic fast will be perfect.
Essentially, I am looking for someone with a massive list of buyers but any large list will
do, I will be offering a 50/50 split with all conversions. So the better the quality of traffic you
deliver the more you will earn. I have many networks and
offers to choose from so the niche isn't as important as its size and quality.
Experience and rating are extremely important as well. Please do not apply if you
simply do lead generation. I am looking for legitimate quality buyers here. Not just opt ins and
email addresses.
If all goes well this could turn into a long term positive business relationship that will
pay daily. I am very familiar with IM and traffic generation but I just don't have the time to
implement the strategies myself.
Looking forward to creating a professional business relationship with the right individual.

Sister Wives Recap: Apple, Meet Tree
Cardboard: the gift that says I Love You all over again.
Howdy, Trashmii! Here we are again, at another season of the never-ending saga that is Sister Wives. You may have read in the news that the Browns won their court case in Utah, which now frees them to move back and sink into obscurity. Of course now that they're fame whores, I doubt they will move back, but a gal can dream, can't she?
Our ep opens with flashbacks from last season. Kody tells us that running from home to home in the compound is developing his gluteus maximus. You know what, Kody? You affect my gluteus maximus. Can you guess how?
Kody shows off his better side.
Meri comments on the "turn" their relationships made when the gals were all separated, Kody says the kids have adjusted well to the compound life but the wives, not so much, amd Christine says she thought they would "instantly be best friends" once they moved into the compound. Watching too many Disney movies, dear?
Christine hopes this will be the 5th sister wife.
We're then told that the adults haven't really discussed paying for college educations, and it's time for them to do that.
Meri says Westminster (where Mariah wants to go, in Utah) is $28K a year. UNLV is $7400. Kody strongly states he "won't advocate" the kids getting loans, they'll have to work through college if they want the parents to contribute to their education. He also points out that "statistically, people don't find a career choice in the field they studied". Well, they likely do if they study something practical, like say chemistry. Knowing the Browns, they'll likely major in the History of Gum or something like that.
Janelle points out that Logan's expenses for this year at UNLV are $6500. If you're doing the math, that's about 1/4 of the cost of Westminster.
Robyn says Mariah needs a car. I thought she had a car, Robyn's old car, cause she was driving it last season? Janelle asks if Mariah is going to be on campus, why does she need a car, and Meri waspishly tells her she's not sending Mariah to Utah without a car. Which begs the question, why is the princess going to Utah as an out-of-state student? How about she moves there, works for a year while establishing residency and then enrolls as an in-state student? Just some practical questions . . . which are never answered. Cause these are the Browns.
My precious Mariah IS SO getting a car! A nice shiny NEW one!
Kody interjects that they're not sacrificing Aspyn's education to "overindulge Mariah" (OH SNAP!), and asks Meri to take money out of her budget since the other wives have multiple children to send to college. Wait a minute. The wives each have X amount of college money, the same X amount, even though Meri has only one kid? So Meri's using a budget meant to stretch for 6 kids, for just one? Kody repeats his request, and Meri doesn't answer. Selfish witch.
You'll have to pry that money from my cold, dead hands. And womb.
Robyn, who's apparently never met a promissory note she didn't like, whines to Kody that she doesn't see there is an option to debt for college. Kody snaps back "a job that pays well".
They decide to bring in the Little Princess. Robyn asks her is she's willing to go to a Nevada college, and Mariah refuses.
Meri asks Mariah to explain, and Mariah, crying, rambles on about missing their church in Utah, when it's time to be married, she wants to be in a polygamy-friendly area, and get a polygamist husband. She says it's time for her to "move forward". How's about moving forward into a job then, honey? If all you want is a plyg husband, just move to Provo or someplace – or move in with any of your relatives – and look for a husband. You don't need an expensive college education for that.
I'm a princess, dammit! I deserve a super expensive education I'll never use because I'll be the 8th sister wife of some jackass like Dad!
Somehow this little speech has changed everyone's minds. The wives all commit to making Westminster possible for Mariah. I'm convinced Mariah slipped something into their sodas.
We return to the invasion of the MILs. Or rather, some of them, since the wives' fathers are all married to multiple women. We meet (or re-meet, since we've seen some of them before) the MILs:
Bonnie. Meri's mother. Meri clearly didn't get her nasty personality from mom, who seems to be a nice, tolerant person.
For the record, Kody is the best argument against polygamy there is. And I say that as a polygamist.
Sheryl. Janelle's mother. Very similar in personality. Remember Sheryl is married to Kody's dad, so she's sister wife to Kody's mom Genielle.
Hi! I'm Kody's mom AND MIL! And I'm not skeeved out by that at all!
Genielle. Kody's mom. Clearly very sharp, she totally has Kody's number.
I know my son's an idiot. Can I just say, he didn't get that from ME.
Annie. Christine's mom. Doesn't look a thing like Christine, but the crying and drama – identical.
I'm a delicate princess. Just like my daughter.
Alice. Robyn's mom. Robyn says Alice divorced Robyn's father and married another man, whom Robyn calls her "dad", making Alice a second wife. Alice seems nicer than Robyn, and luckily doesn't have that lantern jaw her daughter has.
Not too impressed with Robyn's husband #2.
Kody says tomorrow, he's going gift-shopping with the MILs, and then Sunday morning he and the kids will make brunch for all the moms and MILs.

The English love talking about the weather, but they don't write about it enough. We should feel suitably chastened that it has taken a New Yorker to write this intriguing meteorological novel, in which the weather doesn't just set the scene, but drives the hero's every move.
The opening line of Atmospheric Disturbances is one of those marvellous curtain-raisers that seems to roll out the rest of the novel in your mind, while leaving the specifics tantalisingly vague. It runs: "Last December a woman entered my apartment who looked exactly like my wife." The narrator is Dr Leo Liebenstein, a middle-aged psychiatrist, lying on his sofa with a migraine when the doppelgänger of his Argentine partner, Rema, walks in. She is dressed in Rema's clothes, and looks and talks like her, but she isn't Rema, not least because she is carrying a small dog, and Rema doesn't like dogs.
The question of whether this is Rema (and so Leo is nuts) or a sinister simulacrum is settled for the reader fairly early. Leo receives a phone call from the Royal Academy of Meteorology, asking him to become a fellow. We already know that Leo has a schizophrenic patient, Harvey, who suffers from the delusion that he works undercover for the Academy, helping them in their true task of controlling the weather. Before long, Leo is flying to Buenos Aires to track down Rema, teaming up with Harvey and emailing his supposed controller at the Academy, Tzvi Gal-Chen – despite the fact that Leo and Rema dreamt up Gal-Chen's covert intelligence role as a way of treating Harvey.
It is clear that Galchen (the author) is writing in a strong tradition of psychologically minded literature that sees the doppelgänger, the paranoiac and the schizophrenic as rich metaphors for more general human conditions. The supposed differences between Rema and her double, and Leo's own alteration, throw into sharp relief the nature of love, and of the self. "We cannot tell what the weather will be tomorrow because we do not know accurately enough what the weather is right now."
This makes the book increasingly poignant, as we watch Leo embrace the thought of "being a player in some tragedy or comedy so much larger than myself", even as his wife sees him recede from reality. Some might bristle at mental illness being co-opted yet again for fashionable metaphors. That aside, this is a diverting and impressive debut.

text: The Senate's vote to repeal the 1099 provision sends the measure on to President Barack Obama. The repeal of the tax-reporting requirement included in the health care law received bipartisan support because it was expected to increase costs for small businesses. The White House has said it "strongly opposes" the bill's provision to offset lost revenue, but Obama hasn't threatened to veto. "We applaud Congress for taking a positive first step toward removing the excessive cost burdens and uncertainties imposed on franchise small businesses as a result of the health care law," said IFA's Steve Caldeira.

Ok burntvet, you've said your piece, now stop bashing. If you dont want to support it then dont, other people might. A lot of us would like to see this come to fruition and it needs all the help it can get. If it gets made and sucks, guess what, it wont have affected you AT ALL, if it gets made and rules, its another option for you. So enough negativity
Not a single word of that is bashing in any way.
Just the plain, simple truth about any KS.
It is a pet peeve of mine when people spout off about "investing" in a KS, when it is not investing in any way, shape or form.
It is giving your money away for an unsecured promise of getting something later.
Uhm, thats exactly what investing is. All forms of investment involve some level of risk. The return on your investment is a product that you want that nobody else is making.
Its not investment by the strict financial definition, but its absolutely investment.
Investing is getting something for something, a part ownership, shares, rights to future profits, etc. It is especially true, in the context of hitting people up for money, which is exactly what this is, and why it is not investing.
And it is not about risk.
This is getting nothing for something, except for a vague promise of something, should a product ever exist.

Vanguard Shutting Down July 31, 2014....
Anyway - Brad said faction. But is this just guilds joining factions for pve purposes and will we have another game where human paladins and goblin sorcerers work together to defeat AI pixels? Or, will this be real faction v faction so lore matters?
So tired of my elf vs your elf. For once, I want some damned factions in a so called "traditional" mmorpg like Brad suggests.

It all sounds great, great answers, all good so far. BUT Ive heard this before, many MMORPGs sound awesome in concept, changes happen during development, this is inevitable (especially for a kickstarter, where *lots* of design changes happen). So not to sound pessimistic, I am not getting my hopes up just yet. Show me something playable and mostly complete - if it still matches what is being put on paper now, awesome, but previous experience is leaving me very doubtful.
I have to agree with this. Show us close to the finished project, and then launch a Kickstarter. I know for some companies/devs money is a major issue and for that I understand, but when nearly nothing is there to go off of, we just have to trust their word. Some occasions where that doesn't go over too well.
TL:DR - "It's easy to talk the talk, but can they walk the walk", Cheesy but it works for this situation perfectly.

This project will fall by the wayside due to it not getting the funding needed. 28 days left and it just doesnt look like it'll be possible to reach the goal. How is anybody going to put money into something that they have nothing to show for and that alpha footage is TERRIBLE and should of never been shown. When the guys at Grim Dawn got on Kickstarter, they done it right and had gameplay footage to go along with it. Mark my words...this game will not get to 800k in 28 more days
Pretty much exact same statement was made about Mark Jacob's Camelot Unchained and Garriots Shroud of the Avatar. Both games went on to fund at 2+million and 1+million respectively. I've watched Kickstarters that looked to fail by a large margin turn around in the last 72 hours. If Brad and company continue to work hard, Pantheon can make it. The genre needs an MMO like this.

What is everyone's deal with Vanguard?
I understand hating that it had bugs, but a game being buggy is a far less troubling thing than a game being designed poorly, and Vanguard was NOT designed poorly. It just had a bad engine behind it. SO did Oblivion and Skyrim yet people love those games.
Why did no one ask him the single most important question about this game?
"Brad, when you were deciding what to name this MMO, did you just google 'Random Generic Fantasy Name Generator,' or did you just draw it out of a hat?"
You people disappoint me.

I'm sure the name spawns from the fact that a majority of the guys on his team were shitcanned by SOE and they're trying to do an indie comeback.
At least it isn't a phoenix reference.
I put my money where my mouth is on this venture though. I'm all-in (more than any other single backer), pass or fail.
Not because of McQuaid's name being on it.... but because I want them to dick-punch SOE where it hurts and I want to see what they can do, given the opportunity.
I don't see any other major prospects on the horizon offering the same things as Panthon (+ having some of the guys who made the best content in EQ on board).
I just wish they had something more than ideas to put out and would put them out a bit more professionally

So Pantheon is lagging a bit behind in the funding and all of a sudden Vanguard which was able to run on auto pilot for years gets shut down. Don't want to wear my MMO tin foil hat but I really hope the two are not related.
It was a lot more than Vanguard that got shut down. Not to mention, the door closing date is actually July 31st for all those games.
It sucks, but at least it isn't as much of a butt-rape as the MXO announcement at FanFaire. "Thanks for spending $100's to come see us.. now fek off!"

Because their backing will probably only put it up to the $800k mark, which means they will both take their money and the game will get made without PvP.
I'm going to wait until its near the PvP threshold personally. A full PvE game does not interest me.
Brad's day is long past. He helped make an amazing game in 1999 but it's 2014 now and he's long since been irrelevant. He didn't even show up for work during the majority of Vangaurd's development, which was reported by multiple employee's.
Now he's back playing at leader again expect everyone to just jump back on board another vision. This is probably the best possible example of "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me."
I sincerely hope he proves me wrong and makes the true EQN but if you take those odds to Vegas you'll be trading oral favors for a ride home in no time.
Please give Brad more money so we can watch him have his staff fired in the parking lot again. This guy is way out of touch with reality, and his game ideas are pretty terrible.
"On May 14, 2007, the staff of Sigil Games Online were told to meet in the parking lot at 4:30PM and to take with them what they would need for the rest of the day. The employees were told that the launch of the game had not gone well, the company was in financial trouble and they were selling the company to Sony Online Entertainment. Director of Production, Andy Platter, then told the employees "You're all fired.""

I have to be honest, I believe the graphics put off quite a lot of people. I know they are placeholders but the majority of people don't know that and they made their mind based on the video.
Pretty sure Brad said they are working on a full demo, so hopefully that helps those peoples concerns. I am not concerned about it, I am sure they will come up with something great and whats 45 bucks for alpha beta full game and a month sub?

Founded in 1824 on the banks of the wide, meandering Brisbane River, the
former penal colony of Brisbane was for many years regarded as just a big
country town. Many beautiful timber Queenslander homes, built in the 1800s,
still dot the riverbanks and inner suburbs, and in spring the city's numerous
parks erupt in a riot of colorful jacaranda, poinciana, and bougainvillea
blossoms. Today the Queensland capital is one of Australia's most up-and-coming
cities: glittering high-rises mark its polished business center, slick fashion
boutiques and restaurants abound, and numerous outdoor attractions beckon. In
summer, temperatures here are broilingly hot and days are often humid, a
reminder that this city is part of a subtropical region. Wear SPF 30-plus
sunscreen and a broad-brimmed hat outdoors, even on overcast days.
Brisbane's inner suburbs, a 5- to 10-minute drive or 15- to 20-minute walk from the city center, have a mix of intriguing eateries and quiet accommodations. Fortitude Valley combines Chinatown with a cosmopolitan mix of clubs, cafés, and boutiques. Spring Hill has several high-quality hotels, and Paddington, New Farm, Petrie Terrace, West End, and Woolloongabba are full of an eclectic mix of restaurants and bars. Brisbane is also a convenient base for trips to the Sunshine and Gold coasts, the mountainous hinterlands, and the Moreton Bay islands.
Brisbane's city-center landmarks—a mix of Victorian, Edwardian, and slick contemporary architecture—are best explored on foot. Most lie within the triangle formed by Ann Street and the bends of the Brisbane River. Streets running toward the river are named after female British royalty; those parallel to the river after male royalty. The well-tended South Bank precinct has riverfront parklands and cultural centers, alfresco cafés, and weekend markets. Upriver, the quiet, leafy suburb of Fig Tree Pocket is home to Australia's best-known koala sanctuary.
In the past decade Brisbane has transformed from a culinary backwater into a city full of inventive dining options. Top chefs have decamped to Brisbane's best eateries, and are busy putting put a fresh subtropical spin on Modern Australian, pan-Asian, and Mediterranean cuisine.
Imaginative dishes capitalize on abundant regional produce: fine fresh seafood—notably the local delicacy, the Moreton Bay bug (a sweet-fleshed crustacean)—premium steak, Darling Downs lamb, cheeses, macadamia nuts, avocadoes, olives, and fruit, matched with fine regional wines.
Most of the city's hip cafés and smart fine dining establishments are clustered in West End, Fortitude Valley, New Farm, Teneriffe, and Petrie Terrace; you'll also find some excellent eateries in the city center and the riverfront South Bank precinct, and a smattering around the suburbs, particularly Rosalie, Paddington, Milton, and Ascot. For terrific fresh seafood, head for Brisbane's bay-side suburbs, such as Manly, Redcliffe, and Sandgate.
Typically, dining ambience is relaxed, seating is alfresco, and well-mannered children are welcomed.
Twenty years ago Brisbane's accommodation options consisted of a few big hotels and some welcoming but nondescript motels and B&Bs. These days the inner-city area bristles with luxury hotels and smart serviced-apartment complexes. There are also a few excellent boutique hotels, some cut-above B&Bs, and modern backpacker hotels giving pricier digs a run for their money. Many have good-value packages and seasonal and last-minute specials. Jump online for the best deals.
The Saturday edition of the Courier–Mail newspaper lists live gigs and concerts, ballet, opera, theater, jazz, and other events in its Life section, while Friday's CM2 insert offers a comprehensive entertainment guide for the weekend ahead. The Weekend Edition has suburb-by-suburb listings of Brisbane's best cafés, restaurants, shopping, and nightlife spots, as well as weekly updates on new events and establishments around the city.
Brisbane Arcade
Heritage-listed Brisbane Arcade, circa 1923, joins Queen Street Mall and Adelaide Street and houses designer boutiques, jewelry shops, and upscale gift, art, and antiques stores.
Rowes Arcade
Rowes Arcade is a rebuilt 1920s ballroom-banquet hall now housing boutique clothing stores.
MacArthur Central
Historic MacArthur Central, the WWII headquarters of US General Douglas MacArthur, houses boutiques and specialty shops, a food court, and a museum. Located at the bottom of the Queen Street Mall, the streets surrounding the centre also feature a range of high-end fashion boutiques that include Louis Vuitton, Hermes and Tiffany & Co. The MacArthur Museum is open to the public Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday 10 am–3 pm.
Queen Street Mall
Fun and lively Queen Street Mall, considered the best downtown shopping area, attracts around 26 million visitors a year. Nearly a third of a mile long, the mall incorporates five major shopping centers, including the Myer Centre, Wintergarden, and QueensPlaza, as well as two large department stores, Myer and David Jones, and four arcades: historic Tattersall's Arcade and MacArthur Central, Heritage-listed Brisbane Arcade, and Broadway on the Mall, all housing designer boutiques and a range of specialty stores. On weekends, free entertainment and performances can often be found on the Mall's two open stages.
Elizabeth Arcade
Elizabeth Arcade is home to distinctive boutiques showcasing up-and-coming and established designers.
Parliament House
Opened in 1868, this splendid, stone-clad, French Renaissance building with a Mount Isa copper roof earned its colonial designer a meager 200-guinea (A$440) fee. A legislative annex was added in the late 1970s. The interior is fitted with polished timber, brass, and frosted and engraved glass. There are free half-hour tours on weekday afternoons, depending on demand. High Tea is offered in the elegant Strangers' Dining Room from 10:30 am to noon the first Friday of every month (A$41 per person). The adjacent, kid-friendly City Botanic Gardens have native and exotic plants and theme areas, including the Bamboo Grove and Weeping Fig Avenue, along with sculptures, ponds, and an on-site cafe.
Queensland Cultural Centre
This sunny riverside hub is literally the cultural center of Brisbane, with a variety of world-class facilities nestled together amongst landscaped lawns and cafés. The world famous Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) with its everchanging exhibitions and events is a must-visit, while a short stroll away the equally impressive Queensland Art Gallery, Queensland Museum, and Sciencentre offer attractions for both young and old. Meanwhile, you can't miss the green walls of the architecturally renowned State Library of Queensland (the giant scrabble board on Level 1 is always worth a visit), and across the road, the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) bustles with concerts and stage shows. There's also a host of restaurants, cafés, shops selling quality gifts, art posters, books and cards, a ticketing agent (within QPAC), public-access computer terminals, and various interesting public spaces. Green Cabs (modern rickshaws) are a fun and unique way to get around and sightsee. From the Cultural Centre forecourt, they'll ferry passengers anywhere between West End and Fortitude Valley.
South Bank Parklands
One of the most appealing urban parks in Australia, this massive complex includes parklands, shops, a maritime museum, walking and cycling paths, a sprawling man-made beach and luxurious lagoons, a carved-wood pagoda, and excellent city views. The weekend Collective Markets (running until 9 pm on Saturday evenings) bristle with handmade goods, live entertainers, buskers, artists and emerging designers, and almost every week you'll find a new festival or event coloring the Cultural Forecourt. Nearby Grey Street is lined with trendy shops and cafés, as well as contemporary international restaurants, bars, and an on-site cinema. The Wheel of Brisbane, a giant Ferris wheel at the northern entrance of South Bank, is also a must for travelers wanting a spectactular view of the city for A$15 per person. South Bank Parklands stretches along the riverbank south of Queensland Cultural Centre.
Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary
Founded in 1927, Queensland's most famous fauna park is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's first and largest koala sanctuary. The attractions for most people are the koalas themselves (130 in all!), although emus, wombats, crocs, bats, platypuses, and lorikeets also reside here. You can hand-feed baby kangaroos in the free-range 'roo and wallaby enclosure, have a snake wrapped around you, or cuddle a koala and have your photo taken with one. There's also a thrice-daily sheepdog show and regular barn animal and bird feedings.
oma Street Parkland
The world's largest subtropical garden within a city is a gentle mix of forest paths and structured plantings surrounding a fish-stocked lake. Highlights include the Lilly Pilly Garden, with native evergreen rain-forest plants, interesting children's play areas, and the friendly resident birds and lizards. A range of public art pieces are also dotted throughout the park. Pack a picnic, take advantage of the free grills, or stop for lunch at on-site café Melange. Free hour-long guided garden tours begin daily at 10 and 2, or on weekends hop on the Parkland Explorer, a trackless train that gives guests a full tour of the gardens for a gold coin donation. There are also specialist art, heritage, curator's, or sensory tours (pre-book these) and brochures for self-guided walks available online or from Colin Campbell Place.
Old Windmill & Observatory
This 1824 construction is the oldest remaining convict-built structure in Brisbane, dubbed the "Tower of Torture" by convicts forced to power a treadmill to crush the colony's grain on windless days. When fire razed part of the city in 1864 the windmill survived, later repurposed as an observatory. Stripped of its blades, the tower now resembles a lighthouse.
The Commissariat Store
Convict-built in 1829 on the site of the city's original timber wharf, this was Brisbane's first stone building. It has served variously as a customs house, storehouse, and immigrants' shelter, and is currently the headquarters of the Royal Historical Society of Queensland. The RGSQ library and museum, open to visitors, hold exhibitions, historical documents, manuscripts, and artifacts dating back to Brisbane's early colonial days. Group tours of the museum are welcome.
