– New 4-Part Mini-Series –
Experience The History Of The Land Down Under, The Island Continent That Has It All
April 10 – May 1
Ch 5.1 – Wednesdays at 8:00 pm
& Sundays at 10:00 am
Ch.9.1 – Saturdays at 9:00 pm,
beginning 4/13
Of all the continents on Earth, none preserves a more spectacular story of its origins than Australia. NOVA's miniseries takes viewers on a rollicking adventure from the birth of the Earth to the emergence of the world we know today. With high-energy host and geologist Richard Smith, meet titanic dinosaurs and giant kangaroos, sea monsters and prehistoric crustaceans, disappearing mountains and deadly asteroids. Epic in scope, intimate in nature, this is the untold story of the Land Down Under, the island continent that has it all.
"Australia's First 4 Billion Years:
Wednesday 4/10 at 8:00 pm
Travel with Richard Smith to meet the cast in the first scenes of the great drama of life on earth. —
Hidden in the red hills of Australia are clues to the mysteries of Earth's birth, how life arose and how it transformed the planet into the world we now live in. Experts unveil the earliest forms of life: an odd assortment of bacterial slime. Life like this would flood the atmosphere with oxygen and spark the biological revolution that conquered the planet. Travel with NOVA and host Dr. Richard Smith to meet the cast in the first scenes of the great drama of life on earth.
"Australia's First 4 Billion Years:
Life Explodes"
Wednesday 4/17 at 8:00 pm
See how life stormed the beaches and came to dominate planet Earth. —
How did life storm the beaches and dominate planet Earth? Ancient Australian fossils offer clues. While the oceans were teeming, the world above the waves remained an almost lifeless wasteland — until the Silurian period, when the conquest of the land began. Host Richard Smith introduces Earth's forgotten pioneers: the scuttling arthropod armies that invaded the shores and the waves of green revolutionaries whose battle for the light pushed plant life across the face of a barren continent. Join NOVA's prehistoric adventure as four-legged animals walk onto dry land, with the planet poised for disaster.
"Australia's First 4 Billion Years:
Wednesday 4/24 at 8:00 pm
Come face-to-face with the previously unknown reptilian rulers of prehistoric Australia.
— Host Richard Smith comes face-to-face with the previously unknown reptilian rulers of prehistoric Australia. NOVA resurrects the giants that stalked the land and discovers that some of them were among the largest ever to have walked the Earth. Others were some of the most dangerous. In the dry desert heart, scientists unearth an ancient inland ocean, full of sea monsters. But reptiles didn't have the world all to themselves. Mammals like the enigmatic platypus lived alongside them, ready for their day in the sun. And 65 million years ago, that day arrived.
"Australia's First 4 Billion Years:
Strange Creatures"
Wednesday 5/1 at 8:00 pm
Travel this walkabout continent to uncover how it became the strange island it is today.
— After the asteroid impact 65 million years ago — believed to have wiped out the dinosaurs — Australia was set adrift on a lonely voyage in southern seas. With host Richard Smith at the wheel, NOVA travels this walkabout continent to uncover how it became the strange island it is today. Australia's many unusual creatures, like the kangaroo and the cassowary, tell a tale of isolation, change and resilience. Australia's long history has seen mountains rise and fall, seas come and go, and whole kingdoms of life triumph and disappear. In this final episode, NOVA races down the last 65 million years to the present day.

Trumbull Theatre Productions
IMAGE: 2014-15 Kent Trumbull Theatre Season
Under the direction and guidance of Dr. Daniel Nadon, the Kent State Trumbull Theatre produces many show and performances that generate rave reviews from local critics as well as the general public. The shows are usually performed by theatre students, but sometimes include outside talent.
Kent State University at Trumbull Theatre
The Kent State Trumbull Theatre presents four productions annually throughout the university season (September-May) and three more as part of the Summer Stock program (May-August), which includes an active youth theatre component. In addition, they offer coursework in acting, directing, playwriting, script analysis, multicultural theatre as well as performance and technical practicum.
The Kent State Trumbull Theatre is located across from the library and students are offered free or reduced admission to encourage attendance at all productions.
2014-15 Kent Trumbull Theatre Schedule
Steel Magnolias
Written by Robert Harling
Directed by Daniel-Raymond Nadon
October 10, 11, 17 & 18 at 8 p.m.
October 12 & 19 at 3 p.m.
This comedy–drama centers around the bond among a group of Southern women in northwest Louisiana. It is based on the author's experience with his sister's death. The title suggests the "female characters are as delicate as magnolias but as tough as steel". The magnolia specifically references a magnolia tree they are arguing about at the beginning of the play, which was adapted into the film starring Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine, and Julia Roberts.
A Skakespeare Christmas Carol
Written by Dylan Aaron White
Directed by Jim Canacci
December 5, 6, 12 & 13 at 8 p.m.
December 7 & 14 at 3 p.m.
This production was written by Kent Trumbull student White, who adapted Charles Dickens' classic tale, placing the bard himself in the "role" of Scrooge. The play, simply and directly tells the story of the redemption of a human soul. It follows the ever-powerful story of Shakespeare/Scrooge, who, through the help of spirits and visions from his past, present and future, finds a second chance to become a loving, generous human being. Good for the whole family, the play remains a Christmas "classic."
Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by Daniel-Raymond Nadon
March 13, 14, 20 & 21 at 8 p.m.
March 15 & 22 at 3 p.m.
This drama is one of the great tragedies of William Shakespeare. It has been described as a dark symphony of fear and miscalculation. The Scottish Play, as theatre people refer to it, begins with a prophecy by the three witches warning Macbeth of his ultimate "fate." Even as his fate is predicted, Macbeth is the willing pursuant of choices that lead to his own downfall. The play illustrates the traditional Shakespearean themes of ambition, fate, deception and treachery. Packed with dramatic scenes, sword fights, ghostly visitations and bloody "hands," the play is a must-see for theatre and history enthusiasts alike.

And like GW1 there will be xpacs bringing in more money - think of a $30 xpac every 6 months as a $5 / month sub!
Saying GW2 is sinking like a turd is like saying KOTR has sunk; or Skyrim or GTA have flopped because no one plays them anymore. Meaningless.
And somewhat sadly EA have a product that uses GW2's model to even better effect: The Sims. Expansion pack follows stuff packs follow expansion packs. And EA don't even have the expense of maintaining servers!
If EA had opted to release SWTOR as the next KOTR with no sub - as many wanted - followed by paid for DLC ( story packs / operations / missions / fluff / whatever)... well who knows.

The Sims is a decent game tho', SWTOR isn't.

The whole point for them to make swtor F2P so restrictive is that EA wants this game to die. With them doing this, it will kill the game off sooner and they can get out of the money they owe for license's and what not.
This way they do not have to wait 5 years for it to die when they can kill it off in less than 1 year and not have to deal with everything that has to do with this lump of $@%# they made.

Now that we have clueless out of the way, let us talk about Runes of Magic. I could be wrong but was not Runes a F2P game to begin with? I have been to the Runes forums and many, many people would disagree with you and outright call the game P2W. I did play the game for a few hours and between the sophomoric graphics and the outright rip off of WOW I can see why they are a F2P-BECAUSE NO ONE WOULD PLAY THE GAME OTHERWISE.
This is a post from the STO forums
"Vesta ships pack.= Overpriced.
Now to be fair I think this person was going overrboard but as you can see STO is not "free to play" either. I did say most games were glorified trials, not all, Aion and you could make a case for fallen earth being a "better" F2P model. As I said in another post, the experience penalty in TOR is unfair as it could throw off the balance of the game but the rest is typical F2P bs. What these companies should really call it is Piecemeal to play because most of these games are simply not free to play!

STO IS F2P. You can play through all of the content, and get access to all of the items the game has to offer (including the items on the cash store, and the items that are provided through personal and fleet projects) FOR FREE! ;D
The Fleet Projects system - with starbases, etc - is dependant on you having a good fleet. It's no different to having to have a good raid group to clear content in WoW. If you don't have a good raid group, you don't clear the content. What do you do in that situation? YOU FIND ANOTHER RAID GROUP! ;D The same state of affairs exists in STO. If your fleet isn't progressing through said projects with any haste, if people aren't contributing, YOU FIND ANOTHER FLEET ;D
The fleet I am in, for example, GIVES SHIPS AWAY to people who've been in for more than 3 months! These are ships from the cash shop, ships that would usually cost $40+! For FREE! Why? Because the people in the fleet are working together often enough that we're running at a huge surplus, and can afford to reward our members for their efforts.

Same way they managed with GW1? With box sales and expansion sales?
I don't know about you, but I can play the game for free from 1-50 (I think) and have a complete storyline experience.
Are you unable to play the game because there are only 2 quickbars? Are you unable to play the game because your ugly helmet cannot be hidden? Are you unable to play the game because your bank slots are full? Are you unable to play the game because your preferred race is not one of the free ones? I am not saying "unplayable for you", I am saying "unplayable for free." I have a feeling that you could still log in and play even with these restrictions. It may not be "enjoyable", which is the real point here, but it is playable for free. Just because the game may not have for free what *you* expect for free does not mean the game is not free to play. You can still play the game for free.
EA just does not make the game enjoyable to play for free. And they have hosed those players who subscribed for ANY amount time not prior to their going F2P. How are those collector's editions doing now for the F2P people?

Iirc, SOE (Smed?) said something similar to this:
If a F2P model is too restrictive, it will not even attract many players, and those who checks it out, will quickly leave. And if you cannot attract players, and make them stay, they surely won't pay anything.
This is why this game will fail a second time, because as you said: EA just does not make the game enjoyable to play for free. This is one of the most hated F2P models in history, proven by the discussions on both this site and countless other forums, and EA / BW will feel the consequences, I'm sure of it.
Btw, there are things you can NOT do in the free version, so yes, "unplayble for free" is partially correct. If you prefer some contents over other, that is either impossible or very restricted for free players.

I think with my heart and move with my head.-Kongos
Preferring the not free content over the free content, but expecting the free content means you don't understand what F2P means. It just means you can play some part of the game for free, and that there are other parts of the game that the developer will charge you money to play. That's what it's always meant. Any game that is F2P does the same thing. Not the same way of course, but it's the same process.
Others have said this, and I'll echo it. The restrictions placed on free and preferred players do not stop them from playing the game. Nearly all of the leveling experience is available to the player, and all of the story experience is open to the player.
Others have said this, and I'll echo it (part deux). The F2P restrictions that EA chose are annoying. They make a certain kind of mechanical sense, as the stuff that's restricted doesn't prevent the free and premium players from experiencing the available content. That doesn't mean those restrictions make the game feel fun. It doesn't mean the choices they made are a good idea either.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.

Those are not month scales. They are year scales mate.
The game was out in 2003, the subscribership didn't significantly drop until end of 2004.passed, between 2003 and end of 2004 is was stagnating at around 300k. Also you forgot to correlate the big dips with the launch of WoW as well (end of 2004/start of 2005).
Lastly, 300k subs back in 2003 was not "terrible". 300k sub for an mmo back in 2003 is massive, considering how many people in the world at the time has a proper gaming rig and as well as a proper DSL to play an MMO.
When WoW first launched back in 2004/start of 2005 it didn't have 1 million subscribers right of the bat. It took a long time, the death of other mmos and the prevalence of ADSL connections outside of USA to build it up.

F2P is supposed to be a gateway , a way to lure you into playing . When its so frustrating to play who will stay ? Bags , money , races is acceptable , also high end items . I would have gone with an xp penalty as well , light at low lvls , high as you approach end lvl . That would work well to fill all lvl ranges , and make it easy for my subscribers to get flashpoint groups . But UI and run restrictions ? These turn people away before they get to know the game , or more importantly before they come back to the game . Also since this is an easy / content consumption game , I would have to throw in LOTS of content ... with appropriate rewards , lore related , flashy , introduce companion fights , also with appropriate rewards and a quest line , maybe an epic line for an epic reward , like an HK droid companion . Would consider spaceship customisation/items , more cosmetic , but some utility too . A new series of solo flashpoints , short mostly , to allow players with little time to experience epic content . Its all about the fun when playing , you make it fun , people will play it . Grinds suck .

But also WoW began dying around the time Activision got involved (2009), when WoW became "dumbed" down and more focused on casuals. Cash shops went in, game had less atmosphere, customers went down.
Throwing that in because I think it's relevent to what you said. SWTOR didn't copy the "good" model" from WoW that was increasing subscribers. They copied the "bad" model, which drove gamers away.

It is very difficult to say what lure or turn people off. Your individual personal bias or preference might be vastly different from average or majority of players.

And you saying that - its like saying "oh, but it doesnt matter that it SUCKS NOW, they can always fix it AFTER LAUNCH"
Yeah, well, that turned up nicely rofl they "fixed" it alright
They miss and miss and miss....and all those misses will cost them dearly in the end.

Redlands Classic Ride
Redlands Classic Ride
Hi there
has anyone done the 50km - if so could you let me know if it is suitable for a novice getting ready for B2GC? Just wondering how lumpy it is? Still useless at deciphering the elevation profiles provided - thanks so much
Re: Redlands Classic Ride
My wife (lexie) and I drove the 50km course yesterday and I can assure you that it will be fine for you. There are a couple of hills, but they are straight forward. Definitely a great warm up for you.
Lexie is doing the 50km, and that will be her first ever real road ride. Maybe you could ride along with her and give her some comforting tips!!!
I will be doing the 100km as a warm up for the gc ride.
Loving my Merida's and working towards adding a Pinarello to the stable... Go go go...
Re: Redlands Classic Ride
There is atleast 2 of us retro riders doing the 50km route tomorrow, we won't be setting world records, just our normal social riding, if you can find us around the start somewhere you're welcome to ride with us.
We're also hoping to have about a half a dozen bikes for the Bris2GC ride, again keeping with the Raturday Retro theme, we're more about the social aspect of riding rather than trying to prove a point or set a new 'striva' benchmark.
We're not difficult to find, we're the older (some like me are old) guys on the old retro bikes, hopefully for the GC ride we'll have our Retro Riders jersey's.
Re: Redlands Classic Ride
Thanks so much we will see you there!
I am on a black, purple and white giant, one daughter on bright red & white fuji and another on a silver blue and white giant.
not sure if my hubby will make it yet -
hopefully we can find each other - thanks so much for all the help and support - you guys are terrific
Re: Redlands Classic Ride
Wal42, lexie will be thrilled to hear that. She is super nervous because all she can think of is not being able to keep up with all the experienced road riders!!!

Re: Redlands Classic Ride
I used the 77km ride two years ago as a gauge to see how I would go for the 100km B2GC. I passed both easily after only having bought a bike four months prior (and having only ever done about three rides over 20km in my life!). At the time I was 93kg and pretty unfit. All you have to do is just keep pedalling at a comfortable pace and before you know it, you have done 50km. After that, 100km is easy, much easier than it sounds.
Anyone else do the ride in the wet last year?? It was that ride that prompted me to import a Volagi road bike with disc brakes after a couple of sketchy stopping incidents!! Man did it pour!!

Re: Redlands Classic Ride
Sorry Brett,
I meant to say that if we can find each other I would be happy to ride with Lexie - Charlotte (youngest daughter17) only got her road bike a week ago - and I have only done a couple of group rides - last year - so we can all be beginners together.
as usual thanks to everyone for the advice and encouragement
Re: Redlands Classic Ride
I'll be riding my pure black Vertex CR1 (guaranteed to be the only one) with downtube shifters & an aero spoke front wheel, Dan is riding his Viner (I think), his doesn't use D/T shifting, I'll probably be wearing a fluro jersey (possibly Amore & Vita) not sure if I'm wearing the helmet cam but if I do, you'll notice it (big camera on the top of my helmet ).
My guess is we'll probably run around or just over 20kph, so really easy pace.
Re: Redlands Classic Ride
my jersey is tri-colouer - with Paris on the back - one girl in red jersey, one in blue (i think) we are coming early as did not pre-register so early start for us from Sunny Coast for pre 6am registration.
we will be the bleary eyed ones - silver navarra -4 bikes on it
see you there - ps had to ask what a down shifter was - duh!!! you can tell I'm new!!!!
Re: Redlands Classic Ride
Hope to see you guys!!!
I have a 19 year old light grey shogun metro with red panea rack and just a top panea bag tomorrow. I will be wearing a daggy yellow hi vis shirt... (No jerseys in my collection yet)
Lexie has a medium blue Avanti discovery flatbar.

Re: Redlands Classic Ride
A Vertex with down tube shifters, the gear change is on the down tube ala` bikes from the late 70's to early 90's (that'd be because the Vertex is from the late 80's)
Except I'll be running the aero spoke front wheel in it, number 687.

Re: Redlands Classic Ride
Except for the customary team kit tossers and all-round wheel sucking douches, it was great!
Re: Redlands Classic Ride
I think I nearly managed to leave Mr Pottymouth at home, except about 4 in the first 10 minutes of the ride.
Re: Redlands Classic Ride
so how was it then? easy pace? would've been a great morning for a ride.
Re: Redlands Classic Ride
We weren't trying to set any records, just a normal ride for us, lots of chatting, waving & saying hello to all & sundry. Dan waited for me on all the climbs & we did the 50kms in around 1h50m, not superstar speeds, just a nice gentle ride.
Re: Redlands Classic Ride
Awesome morning!
This was lexie's first group ride and her first time on the road. She did the 50k in 2:53.
I turned out the lights when I got home on the 100km... 4:40 for me... 21kph average, which beats what I had hoped for so I am super happy.
Gorgeous morning for riding and it was awesome to see so many other cycling fans in enjoying the day.
See y'all in three weeks time...

Re: Redlands Classic Ride
They forgot that it was all in support of charity. Was slightly amused to see the frustration at traffic lights screwing up strava segments. All a bit too serious, but that was the exception to the rule. All in all a great morning.
Re: wheel sucking - last thing I want is some guy (whose habits of which I know nothing) sitting 5cm off my wheel...
Re: Redlands Classic Ride
Sitting 5cm of a guys rear wheel who was doing his first 50km ride & was on a 30 year old bike.
It would be nice if you would ask someone if they mind you sitting that close to their rear wheel, I purposely rode along the rough "pave`" section of the road to prevent the guy sitting on my back wheel, but why should someone spoil the enjoyment of anothers ride, if I don't want a total stranger sitting 5cms from the rear wheel of my bike then why should I be forced to endure it, the same applies to anyone else. It's a charity ride, people do these to support a charity & have a little bit of fun, not to risk an accident because someone rides right on their wheel.
Do you feel you have the right to spoil somebody else's time just because you think you have the right to draft them?
I rode with Dan the whole ride, I didn't suck his wheel, he didn't suck mine, we ride together every week so have a fair trust in each others ability, if I was going to sit on his wheel I'd let him know that I was there, if he wasn't comfortable with that then he'd say so & I'd sit beside him. I don't have the right to force him (or anyone else for that matter) to be a wind break for me when I'm riding, it's all about common courtesy.
I'm 50 years old, riding a 30 year old bike, if you have to suck my rear wheel on your 1 or 2 year old Italian bike, in your full matching Italian Pro Team kit, then in my opinion, you had better have a good hard look at your training regime, because it is obviously not working very well for you.
Re: Redlands Classic Ride
Hi all
it was a lovely morning - Tony and Kate had a great ride, charlotte found it a little lumpy (only her second ride on new bike) and she pulled the pin early - so we only did 40km (its a mother's job to stay with her kids - drat it) - but we averaged 19.8kph which was pretty good for her and me too - she was very disappointed not to make the 50 - even though we all told her how well she had done - so we came home and did another 30km this afternoon with another daughter -
Sorry did not see anyone to say hi - think I caught sight of Wal but waited at the back to start so there was no chance of getting caught out with cleat problems -
found them to be great - no problems so now happy for gold coast ride in them and have decided that hills are my friends!! if you go up you get to come down and that is great fun
thanks for all the tips - glad no-one was hurt - anyone see the accident at the round about? hopefully poor girl is OK
see you at B2GC
Re: Redlands Classic Ride
That's exactly how I approach them too Fiona - with the added thought that the faster one goes up, the sooner one gets to come down...

My logic is not that they should not be on iTunes/Amazon/BD etc. but that it should be on the Xbox video service at the same time. Also AFAIK, there is no halo waypoint for Windows 8. They also removed all but first two episodes from Waypoint prior to its BD/DVD release. If you call this "bashing", then I can't help but laugh.
Microsoft makes money by selling through those marketplaces as well.
It would be silly to limit their profits by only selling it in one spot. I mean think about that logic. It's also available on Blu-Ray...I imagine you'd bash that as well.
As regards where to find it on the Xbox...it's in Halo Waypoint. That's their hub for all things Halo and you can watch the whole thing there...free of charge.

Yes there are ways to get that content on Xbox as you mentioned. I can use YouTube or I can use the Amazon app on Xbox. Youtube doesn't even count because we are talking about buying a movie - one that Microsoft itself produced.
In that case then on PC you can just hit the official spot for Forward Unto Dawn on Youtube: https://www.youtube....h?v=BfJVgXBfSH8
That's Part 1, and all parts are there and it is official, and it is available in up to 1080p...and it can even be watched via the YouTube app on the 360.
You didn't say that it should land at the same time, you said and I quote, "why is Microsoft promoting rival services?"
I answered that question and pointed out that there are ways to get the content on the Xbox as well as on the PC for free.
There's nothing wrong with having the content available in multiple places. As to why it's not showing up on Xbox Video on the PC? I have no idea. I've noticed that it seems to be separate from the marketplace on the actual Xbox as sales on both can be mutually exclusive.
I fully agree that Xbox Video on the PC needs work...and shouldn't have the same name as the service on the console unless they truly are mirrors of each other.
As for laughing...if you want to laugh at what you've done...that's up to you.

I avoid using it on my desktop/laptop (both non-touch) but here are some,
How do you feel the app could be improved? Do you have any suggestions for Microsoft?
