I write about video games: the industry and the culture.
Top ten lists are so 1996. Today we bring you the top 12 upcoming MMORPGs for 2013.
Update: I have an expanded edition of this list here which includes four more MMORPGs that are likely coming out this year (since these things are never delayed) that you should absolutely check out.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was an age of free-to-play games, it was an age of micro-transactions. It was the epoch of massively multiplayer online RPGs, it was the epoch of slowly fading single player RPGs. It was the season of sandbox MMOs, it was the season of same-old, same-old. We had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way- in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
So it is with the current landscape of MMORPGs, a genre already so congested, so saturated with content, and built on a business model that demands all of our precious gaming time or bust, that it's hard to imagine adding more titles to the already burgeoning list.
Fear not, developers and publishers are not to be dissuaded by such paltry things as market saturation or consumer fatigue. Perhaps that's well and good. 2013 is a year filled with actually interesting looking MMOs, games that promise to deliver something new, that blessed salve, some innovation or other that will propel us into the next generation of the massively multiplayer online gaming experience.
Here are some of them, for your reading pleasure.
Phantasy Star Online 2 should be interesting. It will be available in 2013 on PC, iOS, Android, and the PlayStation Vita.
This is good news for the Vita in particular, which is a great little piece of hardware with far too few games. A free-to-play MMO can only help the little handheld.
The game is action-based, focusing on counter-attacks and real-time battles. I never played the original Phantasy Star Online, but the sequel certainly looks like something I'll download on to one of those very expensive proprietary memory chips the Vita uses.
Developer/Publisher: SEGA
WildStar looks a lot like the love child of World of Warcraft and Borderlands 2. And it has "Star" in the title. That's two games in a row with "star" in the title.
But I digress. The game is a humorous, colorful planet exploration MMO bringing a much needed dose of science fiction to the fantasy-saturated genre.
Part Western, part sandbox, the game looks like it might bring some neat and much-needed twists to the tired old MMO combat routine.
Developer: Carbine
Publisher: NCsoft
City of Steam is an action-RPG with MMO elements. The steampunk setting separates it from most other MMOs on the market. Even MMOs with some steampunk elements tend to keep those features on the fringe.
The game just left Closed Beta, so an Open Beta should be just around the corner for players to play—in their browsers thanks to the Unity Web Player.
The browser-based game category is getting bigger and bigger, and City of Steam joins already popular MMOs like Drakensang Online sometime in 2013.
They're also trying to get the game Greenlit so it can appear, oh-so-fittingly, on Steam.
Developer/Publisher: Mechanist Games
It's been in closed beta for centuries, but the free-to-play action-RPG Path of Exile is now in open beta, and will soon be released to the public in post-beta form (not sure what we're supposed to call it then.)
The dark, gritty action-RPG isn't really an MMO, but it is online, and you can find massive amounts of other players to quest with. For solitudinous hermits like your humble narrator, outside of town you can adventure solo to your heart's content.
The Third Act was released alongside the open beta, and I haven't played my way to it just yet (my characters were all wiped, as were everyone else's, and I haven't found time to get all leveled up again) but the new Act adds 50% more content to what was already a pretty decent-sized game. Developer Grinding Gear Games plans to continue to release new Acts and content regularly, while funding the game through "ethical" micro-transactions that are, so far as I can tell, almost entirely aesthetic.
Developer/Publisher: Grinding Gear Games
Publisher Bigpoint is no stranger to browser-based MMOs, so I'm hoping the final product for Game of Thrones: Seven Kingdoms is as fun as it sounds.
The sandbox MMO is yet another sandbox style game, pitting three factions (the Baratheons, the Starks, and the Lanisters) against one another. You play as a regular warrior from a minor House and can pledge fealty to one of the major Houses, betray them whenever you like, and engage in massive castle sieges.
It sounds like it could be the very first Game of Thrones video game that might, in some small way, live up to the books. The game will feature some material from and consistency with the HBO show, though how that actually factors into gameplay remains to be seen.
Developer/Publisher: Bigpoint
ArcheAge is one of the coolest sounding MMOs I've read about. Not only is there full-fledged naval combat, there are also hang-gliders. You can race people on your hang-glider. And yeah, they had me at hang-glider. Or maybe at naval combat. Either way, I'm sold (at least in theory.)
The game is a great big sandbox MMO where you can build your own house, work with trade routes, and engage in PvP.
Whenever I start getting actually excited about an MMO I realize that I need to check my expectations, but ArcheAge is certainly doing a good job at making me want to play it.
Developer: XLGames
Publisher: Trion Worlds
Bless reminds me a lot of Guild Wars 2. It's built using the Unreal Engine 3, and it looks gorgeous. It's also supposed to be very story-driven, with a storyline for each of the ten races designed to be emotionally charged.
Whenever I see MMO screenshots that look as good as these, I always check my optimism. Guild Wars 2 looks really good, but the screenshots made it look better (a trick the original Guild Wars was also guilty of.)
After all, bandwidth is an issue when you're playing online, and an MMO can only deliver so much graphical goodness before the pipes get too clogged. But man, that elephant looks amazing doesn't it?
Developer/Publisher: Neowiz Games
I'm not sure you can capture the old Wizardry games in an MMO. Without some severe limits, it's hard to capture any single-player experience in an MMO. Still, I loved the description of this intense-sounding MMO so much I downloaded it immediately.
"Wizardry Online is the most hardcore fantasy MMO ever created," reads the game description. "The difficulty level is insane. The dungeons are brutal. There is no auto-healing. You will earn your levels. Your crimes taint your soul. Your allies could betray you at any moment. And when you die, you die forever."
Permadeath in any game is hardcore, but in an MMO? That takes moxie. Kudos to Sony for taking chances.
I'll report back after I've played the game, which launched on January 30th, one of the few games in this list already available to the public.
Developer: Gamepot
Publisher: Sony Online Entertainment
[Update: I have now played Wizardry Online and it is nothing like what I thought it would be. It is, to be quite plain, a very bad game. Indeed, it's a surprisingly bad game. So strike it from your list. And if you've played it, be glad it was F2P.]
No classes, no levels, and no European medieval setting. In Age of Wushu, you play as a martial artist inside (yet another) sandbox world, though this time it's a beautiful East Asian setting.
The game is billed less as a grind-and-level game and more of a celebration of art and music and, yeah, intricate martial arts combat. You pick a martial arts style and then hone your craft. But you also pick a profession, and live as part of the world.
I like the idea of doing away with levels. I think RPGs in general crutch on the leveling system way too much. Go back to the early days of Dungeons & Dragons, and you'll learn rather quickly how unimportant levels used to be.
Emergent gameplay aside, the game does appear to have a reprehensibly awful cash shop and F2P revenue model that probably won't survive a Western audience.
Developer/Publisher: Snail Games
Speaking of Dungeons & Dragons, though not of Original D&D, Neverwinter may not be the prettiest new MMORPG but it's gotten solid feedback from people like Forbes's Daniel Tack so far.
I'm more interested in the Foundry DIY world-building system, which allows players to create content that is then curated and added back into the Neverwinter universe, than I am in the game.
But even the game, so far, looks to be shaping up into a solid, even slightly old-school, action-RPG.
Developer: Cryptic Studios
Publisher: Perfect World
I'm not actually sure whether this is going to come out in 2013 (and honestly, with the nightmarish development involved in putting together an MMO, maybe none of these will come out in 2013 except the ones that, you know, already have) but it looks really cool.
A big, sandbox world, totally seamless, with sort of absurdly beautiful people apparently modeled after Skyrim mods, Black Desert has been one of the least-marketed games I've ever seen and has still managed to put together one of the most exciting MMO trailers I've ever seen—which you should go watch over here. Even if some of the elves look suspiciously like Orlando Bloom.
Developer: Pearl Abyss
Publisher (Korea): Daum Communications
Finally, we come to the most controversial entry in our long, long list: The Elder Scrolls Online.
Many people worry that this could spell the doom of the single-player Elder Scrolls game. To that, I say pfaw! Bethesda's Elder Scrolls games sell far, far too many copies and expansions to die at the hands of a maybe-successful MMORPG.
Besides, TESO (for short) looks really good. Combat is overhauled, for one thing, and I'm not that big of a fan of the combat in games like Oblivion and Skyrim, so who knows? Maybe we'll see an evolutionary step that will actually translate to better single-player games from the franchise.
Just as importantly, TESO is huge, spanning all the Elder Scrolls realms. I'm not going to be stuck in gray, dreary Skyrim, or boring, generic Cyrodiil. I can go to Morrowind and beyond.
Just like with the rest of these games, there's no telling if it will be any good, or if it's good if it will capture a big enough audience to compete against the princes of the market, but I'm hoping TESO succeeds.
Developer: Zenimax Online Studios
Publisher: Bethesda Softworks
After writing this post I'm left somewhat mentally exhausted, a tiny bit hungry, and wondering what I missed. This barely even scratches the surface of the upcoming MMO scene. I probably left out more than I included.
In fact, if you're that commenter who just glances over the list to see if I left out Your Game and then, when you discover that I did—oh nefarious video game journalist of death!—you hop on here and yell at me for not listing Your Game, well I just want to say that I anticipated you. I saw you coming. And I laid a trap. (Okay, not really, but that would have been almost as cool as having the Super Power to reach through your monitor and slap that guy who is wrong on the internet….)
But seriously, if I did miss something that looks neat, innovative, fun, or just plain weird, speak up in the comment section. I know it's bad journalism-with-a-capital-J for me to ask you for your input, but I'm going to risk it. Because I'm brave like that.
Skyrim and Cyrodiil were never supposed to be gray, boring, and generic. The original lore paints these places as beautiful, amazing, and fantastic lands, ripe for questing and exploration.
Bethesda just A) always had better writers than game designers and B) lost all its real talent after Morrowind anyways.
It was the Daedra Princes who make Tamriel feels a lot of colourful. Those higher being who play upon mortal plains, I think they are one of many things that make Morrowind so much feel "fantasy" than Oblivion and Skyrim. Oblivion at least have Oblivion Plane and Shivering Isle, but Skyrim is….meh, is neither gritty or not but it still strip many fantastical thing and try to be realistic anyway.
Among the three major Elder Scrolls games released in the 2000s (I'm not counting the Elder Scrolls Travels cell phone games), Morrowind was the only one that had a really interesting, exotic setting. Peter Jackson made his LOTR trilogy and that was it for Bethesda: the lands in Oblivion and Skyrim had too look like Middle Earth!!
With Skyrim at least I can sort of buy it, since it is a northerly land, but wasn't Cyrodiil supposed to be a lush rainforest or jungle?
had too= had to
I hate it when I don't proofread before posting… :-(
I don't think that's true they have a good balance of both. The main lore creator is the one of the first for videogames and Todd Howard the lead designer of the Elder Scrolls series has stood with it all the way. It is the most successful first person RPG to be made. I think your missing the point they didn't lose their designers they went to a more casual approach for the UI and gameplay mechanics because people had many complaints with Oblivion and Morrowind with all the text and that was away from the Baldurs gate style and there is nothing wrong with that.
"Because I'm brave like that."
Sometimes you have to YOLO.
"Sometimes you have to YOLO".
Translated: Sometimes you have to you only live once.
Please think before you post.
I am very excited about Neverwinter.
I also agree about leveling, I feel like something has to be done. I really wanted to try LOTRO's rider's of rohan, but I feel it takes soooo long to get to the level so you can appreciate it.
I'm very worried about The Elder Scrolls Online, due to a combination of the gameplay elements sounding like they want to be WoW and the lore elements completely disregarding everything that's come before it.
Wizardry Online is horrible. SoE took it down from steam on their own volition. It's just a really bad game. Think of a game like Dungeons & Dragons Online, with a cash shop, except make the graphics worse, the combat less engaging, and the traps even more obvious. The engine is floaty, the combat consists of rapidly left clicking, and the perma death isn't really a hassle considering you can make a new character with a better amount of bonuses if you are lucky enough to roll a 50+ bonus points distribution.
I only played for about 2 hours, but it was overall a very bad game. SoE claims to be addressing the issues, but I do not see how they could overhaul the entire game in a timely manner. Planetside 2 from SoE is much better than this game, which I believe SoE is only distributing to NA environment.
I would not recommend the game to any of my friends, and in fact I've discouraged them from even trying it out. It's just that bad right now.
If the developer, gamepot, can manage to iron out the many wrinkles the game has, it will be at best a clone of DDO/WoW mechanics with a permadeath moniker added on to it. There aren't many classes to play, it's nothing like Wizardry, the quest system is straight from WoW, it's just.. bad.
ArcheAge, Bless and Neverwinter look very interesting however. Path of Exile is going to be very big eventually, it's more of a sequel to Diablo 2 than Diablo 3 is.

We hear it looks as though Saints FS Darren Sharper will get an opportunity to gauge his value on the open market. Sharper, who will become an unrestricted free agent on March 5, felt slighted by the Saints' decision to not use the franchise tag on him, but head coach Sean Payton said he still would like Sharper to be on the team in 2010. New Orleans isn't going to overpay for the 34-year-old's services, though. "Darren's been a big part of our success and someone who's certainly helped us tremendously," Payton said at the Combine Feb. 26. "So, you know, the free-agency period is getting ready to begin. And he's a guy that we want on our team. The key is just (GM) Mickey Loomis and Darren's agent (Joel Segal) really going through the process and getting that kind of stuff done. But there's still plenty of time (to work out a deal)." Sharper made nine interceptions last season.

- Start with the name: the Texas Landowners Conservancy.
It evokes environmental groups, such as the Nature Conservancy and the Hill Country Conservancy, conjuring backgrounds as green and landscapes as lush as those on the LandownersConservancy's Web site.
Yet the group has created more ire and trepidation among Central Texas environmentalists, and some government officials, than any developer in a decade. In just three months of existence, the Landowners Conservancy has shown that is has deep pockets, powerful political connections and strong ties to developers, some of whom stand to reap bigger profits if the group can convince lawmakers that cities should compensate landowners for strict environmental regulations.
. . . .
The issue in question is House Bill 2833, a measure written by Landowners Conservancy lawyers. The bill would force local governments to pay landowners when strict environmental rules cut into land values by more than 25 percent.
The Landowners Conservancy, along with a score of development representatives and property rights advocates, say the bill gives them needed protections against government takings of property.
. . . .
The Landowners Conservancy has spent much of the past two weeks trying to reassure lawmakers that the bill would not force cities to compensate landowners for zoning restrictions, smoking bans, sexually oriented business prohibitions and other regulations that might devalue property.
Though the group's battle cry is fairly broad – "Just compensation for land takings," according to its Web site – its leaders insist that the bill's focus is quite narrow: Regulations such as the SOS ordinance requiring that developable land have less than 45 percent impervious cover such as buildings and pavement.
A Measure 37 (of Sorts) in Texas?
Coming on the heels of Oregon's controversial Measure 37 initiative passed late last year (see here, here, and here for more), the Texas House is considering House Bill 2833, which would force local governments to compensate landowners when strict environmental regulations reduce property values by more than 25 percent. Bill 2833 appears to be much more limited in scope than Measure 37, which allows for compensation (or waived regulations) for zoning, environmental, and a variety of other sorts of regulations that reduce private property values. According to the Austin American-Statesman:

12 annoying songs of Christmas
It's that time of year, when Christmas songs fill shops, restaurants and your home. While anything on repeat can drive you mad, these 12 tunes are some of the most annoying.
1. Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer
I really want to know who thought this song was a good idea. A member of the family dying via reindeer doesn't exactly scream Christmas cheer. In any normal situation, someone getting killed by an animal would seem morbid, let alone during a season for familial togetherness.
2. Santa Baby
There's nothing like turning an innocent concept of asking Santa for presents into something dirty. Wouldn't any self-respecting woman hate herself for tempting sweet old Santa to get what she wants? And sure, we'd all like some nice things for Christmas, but who asks for a platinum mine?
3. Last Christmas
This song is catchy, but when you think about it, it's also pretty pathetic. The singer got dumped after one day and still isn't over the breakup a year later? And, aside from a few references to Christmas, this song really has nothing to do with the holiday.
4. Feliz Navidad
Yes, this is a Christmas classic, but it qualifies as annoying thanks to its insanely repetitive nature. When we're listening to the same songs over and over, the last thing we want to hear are the same lines over and over. And over.
5. I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas
Just, why? I get that kids can be demanding around this time of year, but who honestly wants a hippo? There's nothing worse than the sound of a whiny-voiced kid eking out of my radio.
6. The Christmas Shoes
Okay, I lied. There is something worse: depressing Christmas songs. I hate when, in the midst of Christmas cheer and happy tunes, a song like this comes on.
7. Baby It's Cold Outside
Where to begin with this song? Two people have this back and forth conversation in rhyme (ick!), but neither one really listens to the other. All the guy cares about is his agenda and all the girl cares about is what other people are going to think of her. And all they can agree on is that, hey, it's cold out!
8. Drummer Boy
The Little Drummer Boy is kind of annoying all on its own with its constant rum pum pum-ing, but now there's this: the Justin Bieber version. There's nothing quite like ruining a classic by turning it into a pop remix.
9. My Grown-Up Christmas List
Hello, holiday depression, how nice of you to stop by again. Here we have another classic example of a Debbie-downer tune that makes you want to poke your eye with a pencil.
10. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
Really, you can't tell that under all that red, your dad is parading around as Santa? And let's think about it for a minute, why would your mom be kissing Santa of all people? Okay, I get kids can't reason like adults, but that aside, this song gets tiresome after one listen.
11. All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth
This song has absolutely no basis in reality. There is not a kid in America who only wants teeth for Christmas. No. Way. And why is it so important to say "Sister Susie sitting on a thistle"? It's just about the last sentence anyone would ever need to say. So let's focus on the positive and re-check that Christmas list.
12. Jingle Bells / Jingle Dogs
Jingle Bells is undoubtedly a Christmas classic, so why change it? Especially when the change involves dispensing of the lyrics in favor of one word repeated over and over, "bark." However, as this video shows, someone liked it enough to sync it up with their outdoor light display.

People sometimes wonder what difference there could be between art created and performed by artists with developmental disabilities and those who are able-bodied. Over the course of my work as a facilitator with disabled artists, I've noticed that aside from infusing unique personal and life experiences into the work. . .the beauty, intensity, and integrity remains the same. Artists with developmental disabilities, however, also aren't afraid to take risks that often lead to unexpected results.
For example, take the art created by Chet Cheesman and Cheryl Chapin. Both attend the Hillsborough Adult Learning Center and are participants in Matheny Medical & Educational Center's Arts Access Program in Peapack. Their work, which includes paintings, digital art, dance, and dramatic and poetic writings, reflects their artistic styles, personalities, and love for life.
A talented artist with an enthusiastic disposition and bright smile, Chet brings happiness to anyone he encounters. His written works reflect his imagination and love of romance as he takes on subjects that range from aliens in outer space to courtship. His artwork runs the gamut, from abstract to mystical. His pieces have been on display at the Atrium Gallery in Morristown, ABC headquarters, Grounds for Sculpture, UMDNJ, and the Bernardsville library. Several of his works are now in private collections.
Long time Hillsborough Adult Learning Center and Arts Access participant Cheryl Chapin was born and raised in New Jersey. She has been creating art for more than eighteen years. Her passion for reading and conversation is infectious. She also gets joy out of creating acrylic paintings and digital art. Cheryl has written many poems and other pieces of creative writing (about nature, holidays, etc.) that have been performed at Matheny and local high schools. Her work has also been shown at Grounds for Sculpture; the Wallace Art Gallery at Overlook Hospital in Summit; and Johnson & Johnson in Raritan. One of her pieces, titled Lights in a Far Off Galaxy, can currently be seen on a traffic box in Warren Township at the intersection of Mountain Avenue and Stirling Road.
Both Chet and Cheryl, along with several other artists, will have their written pieces showcased in Full Circle 2012: Unexpected Art. The annual fine, performing, and literary show will be presented by the Arts Access Program of the Matheny Medical and Educational Center in Peapack on November 3, 2012.
Full Circle will dispel limitations and give the public the opportunity to experience the creations of developmentally disabled individuals. These works include everything from dance compositions and paintings to dramatic performances of written works. Artist Dan Fenelon, who has curated Full Circle for the past 3 years, will curate the multi-media fine art aspect of the show. He is a graduate of Boston's School of the Museum of Fine Arts and has created murals for the Luna Stage Theatre in West Orange, the Montclair Art Museum, and for the Newark Peace Education Summit which featured a visit by the Dalai Lama. This year's Full Circle is dedicated to the memory of former Matheny President Robert Schonhorn.
Full Circle 2012: Unexpected Art will be held at the Robert Schonhorn Arts Center from 3-6pm. The Center is located at 65 Highland Avenue in Peapack, NJ 07977.

New Castle News
Applebee's is coming to Neshannock Township.
Signs dotting Wilmington Road in the vicinity of Field Club Commons advertise the restaurant company is now hiring.
And although attempts to contact the company have been unsuccessful, a firm hired to post art work in the new restaurant has confirmed the recent rumors.
Melissia Hudson of Artworkstudio Inc. in Mission, Kan., has been contacting various people and organizations throughout Lawrence County to collect photos that are significant to the New Castle area.
She said the restaurant will occupy a building at 3300 Wilmington Road, currently home to Compadres.
Beto Faldano, an employee in charge in at Compadres, said the Mexican restaurant is scheduled to close Friday or Monday.
Compadres employees are moving to Greenville and some of the staff is going to the Grove City restaurant, he said.
Hudson has been commissioned by Applebee's owners to help with gathering framed pictures for the interior decor, which typically carries a local flavor.
"I try to reach out to as many outlets as possible," Hudson said, noting she has talked to the Lawrence County Tourist Promotion Agency, local high schools and colleges for sports photos, the Lawrence County Fair, and area artists.
"Applebee's likes to paint a picture of the local community in its decor," she said.
A lot of the locals have responded so far, and have sent her pictures from Back to the 50's, landmark shots, the fair, Zambelli Fireworks Internationale and the Amish, among other local points of interest.
New Castle Police Chief Bobby Salem said he has received an email from Hudson as well, asking for photos from the New Castle Police Department.
Janet Falotico, assistant executive director of the Lawrence County Tourist Promotion Agency, said she sent pictures to Hudson to display inside Applebee's.
The agency has provided a similar service for Bob Evans.
Among approximately 15 photos she sent were shots of McConnell's Mill, Zambelli Park, Cascade Park and the Hoyt Institute of Fine Arts.
"You try to send them cultural jewels as well as the natural ones," Falotico said, noting Hudson's email to her indicates the restaurant will have 100 percent local decor.
"I think the great thing is that they want to support the community with our successes," Falotico said.
Hudson could not give a date when Applebee's will open, but noted with their advertising to hire, it could be open within a couple of months.
Faldano said he does not know, either, how soon Applebee's will open after Compadres moves out, but its restaurant's sign is already outside.
"They have to work inside and change everything."

Summary:The world is engulfed by the fires of war, and no one has the power to stop the inevitable destruction--until now. For nearly a century, the Fire Nation has waged its deadly campaign for global domination over its fellow tribal nations of Air, Water and Earth. They offer but one choice to the tribes who fall to their might-complete surrender, or complete annihilation. As the villagers vainly attempt to defend themselves, they stand behind the chosen few who can command their nation's element and 'bend' it to their will. Backed by enormous armies and weapons of destruction, however, the firebenders have already eliminated every airbender on the planet and now, they turn their attentions to th... Full Summary >>

St. John's Episcopal undergoes extensive renovations
- Last Updated on 07:51 AM 09/20/13
- BY The Gazette-Virginian
St. John's Episcopal Church located on Mountain Road in the Town of Halifax is an immediate link to the past — rich with the nation's history from the many war veterans who served in almost every American-fought war. These late veterans now lie in the church's cemetery.
St. John's also boasts a parish rector — Charles Dresser — who had the privilege of marrying the 16th President Abraham Lincoln and his wife.
Now in its attempt to advance into the 21st century, the church built in 1844 and its parish house built in 1962 have undergone more than $200,000 in renovations.
Renovations to the church are nearing completion, and an open house is set for Saturday, Sept. 28, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to reveal the final product.
Tours of the sanctuary, parish house and cemetery will take place on the hour throughout the day. A dedication and blessing for both the church and the parish house will take place on Sunday, Sept. 29.
According to Interim Rector the Rev. Cleon Ross, renovations were funded by member contributions, Sunday offerings and restoration trust funds the church has had for years.
Before the renovations, Ross said the parish house had cinderblock walls, drop ceilings and old carpeting. The building was not very handicap accessible either.
Now the Parish House rooms have been studded up and completely sheetrocked. The building has been completely rewired and insulated, Ross said.
Hardwood floors have been installed, and special vinyl floors also have been installed in the bathroom. A fireplace has been added to the rector's study, and a chapel with stained glass windows also was included in the building. The Powell family sponsored the chapel in memory of Jo Powell.
Also new to the parish house is a newly renovated rector's office and boardroom completely furnished, compliments of Frank Booker. In addition, to the rector's study, a new secretary's office was donated by Mr. and Mrs. William Confroy, and a ramp was donated by the Chastain Home making the building completely handicap accessible.
The new bathroom, also donated by the Chastain home, is handicap accessible.
A chair lift has been installed inside the foyer of the building for those with handicaps to be able to come upstairs.
Downstairs in the Parish House, Ross said rooms have been repainted and new lighting installed. A nursery, youth room and Christian education room can be found downstairs.
Roof maintenance also has been completed, and the exterior of the building has been painted.
In the church, a handicapped bathroom was installed on the first floor, also donated by the Chastain Home.
New beams have been added to the floor. The entire interior of the church has been repainted, and new carpeting has been installed in the sanctuary. The sanctuary pews, which are the original pews from when the church was built in 1844, were restored.
Downstairs in the church, Ross said the parish hall was completely renovated. New ceilings, lighting and air conditioning along with new flooring have been installed.
The hall also has been repainted and refurnished by members of the congregation. The choir room and the acolyte room have been remodeled, and the kitchen and bathroom facilities have been repainted.
The exterior of the church also has been pressure washed and touched up with paint as needed.
New signage marks the location of church and parish, and old tombstones have been power-washed to perfection.
While the church was built in 1844, its history dates back to 1752 when the King of England and the Governor of the Virginia Colonies established Antrim Parish, which included Halifax County and other surrounding counties.
According to Ross, it wasn't until 1828 that Charles A. Dresser became the rector of the parish and built a Protestant Episcopal Church, formerly known as St. Mark's Episcopal located on Mountain Road.
When the congregation outgrew St. Mark's, the rector at that time, the Rev. John Grammar, asked Dabney Cosby Jr. to build what is known today as St. John's Episcopal Church, Ross said.
The interim rector noted the church was originally purchased for $6,524, and the land on which it sits was originally purchased for $600.
In 1845, St. Mark's was sold to the Presbyterians who later sold the church to the Methodists. Today, St. Mark's is known as Halifax United Methodist Church.
St. John's Episcopal Church is an example of Greek Revival Architecture, Ross said.
The pediment gable front of the Grecian temple–like building features four flat pilasters supporting a massive ionic entablature that extends around the side of the building. Atop the roof sits an octagon-shaped bell tower with four louvered arched openings and an unusually tall spire with plain cross.
The walls are solid brick with the exterior covered in stucco and scored to simulate blocks of granite. The treatment, called roughcasting, was especially new to Southern Virginia.
Cosby's father, Dabney Cosby Sr., was a well-known builder and brick mason who had worked with Thomas Jefferson on the construction of the University of Virginia, and he introduced the roughcasting process to the area. The two Cosbys also had built several large brick homes in the county, and in 1839 completed construction on the Halifax County Courthouse.
According to Ross, those who tour the church on Sept. 28 will enter the church via the paneled double front doors into a narthex with identical winding stairs located on either side of the entrance. These steps lead to a balcony at the back of the nave or sanctuary.
Originally, the balcony was horseshoe-shaped and extended along the sides of the nave atop the upper third of each window. The area was reserved for slaves who attended church.
Visitors will enter the sanctuary via doors in the transverse hallway or narthex to see the interior of the church. This area retains its original painted wooden pews, a massive plaster ceiling medallion and chancel arch which features reeded pilasters supporting a decorative entablature with laurel wreaths and a heavy modeled cornice.
The interim rector noted extensive alterations took place in the 1890s when J. A. Shackleford served as rector.
Balconies along the sides of the church were removed, and the center portion of the chancel arch was extended to include an enlarged chancel or altar area, with a semi-circular apse and three stained glass windows.
A sacristy was built on the west side of the apse and on the east side, a rector's vesting room.
The parish house, which also is included in the tour, had classrooms for small children on the lower floor and several larger rooms for older children upstairs when it was first built. The building also had a large meeting room on the main floor.
Members of the church also will be giving tours of the churchyard where they will point out the graves of notable Southside Virginians who have been members of the church, Ross said. The deceased include John Ragland, a vestryman and Revolutionary War patriot, Jefferson Davis VanBenthuysen, nephew and namesake of the president of the Confederacy, and members of the Dabney Cosby family.

I am a Phoenix born and raised website and graphic designer. I began experimenting with building websites and making graphics in Photoshop in the late '90s. I learned from design blogs, online tutorials, and trial-and-error.
Over time I continued to hone my skills to the point that in 2004 I felt confident taking on projects as a freelance designer. I got to work with a wide variety of clients including small businesses, real estate agents, a local writer, a political campaign, and more. This allowed me to gain valuable experience and practice many different design styles.
Since 2011, I have been working full-time as a website designer for the Professional Web Design team at Go Daddy. In my time there I have worked on new website builds and on a dedicated website updates team. This experience has allowed me to learn to work with a diverse team and gain a better understanding of how a large-scale design agency runs.
In my free time I like to hang out with my wife and daughter, write about local beer and hot wings, and collect hot sauce.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by DiscoDave Great shorts for any workout. These shorts were a great buy! They provide very adequate comfort for any type of activity. They stretch really well for squat movements. One of my favorite shorts for Crossfit. 6/24/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Slimjim256 Love this shorts These are by far the best shorts I have ever owned in my life. The mobility in them is second to none. I've had all the other brand gear but these short put anything they offer to shame. I'm 5'6" 215 lbs, this shorts fit perfect not to long and not to short. To long for my size make me look shorter. Have a perfect fit, i measure the shorts Inseam 10. Love them and very comfortable. 3/24/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CaptainFitness These shorts are light and extremely comfortable. Great shorts. Perfect for warm weather. I can't wait until the weather gets warm enough to water these. The colors are great. I advice everyone to buy more than one of these pairs. Your going to like them so much you will want to wear them everyday. I normally wear medium but medium was a bit big. I had to switch them did the small. I am a 31 inch waist, 5'8" 178lbs. 2/5/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CF21 Wod shorts Just got these shorts they fit great can wait to do a WOD in them. 2/10/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Gordon1013 Amazing pair of shorts These shorts are my first pair of training shorts, so I didn't know what to expect. When I put them on, I instantly felt more mobile, more powerful, and more comfortable compared to wearing basketball shorts. These shorts are super comfortable, super stylish, and super durable. My only concern with the shorts is that I wish there was more than one pocket, but with training shorts, you're not really going to get more than one pocket, so I'll deal. Great job reebok. 6/11/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Crossfitter808 Great comfort and stretch Nothing out there better bang for your buck. Stretchy material, very comfortable, elastic waistband in the back allows bigger range of motion. Better than nice workout shorts or stretchy board shorts offered by other companies. 3/28/13

Rated 5 out of 5Â by KES45 Great shorts! Very comfortable and they allow you to do anything you want. (i.e. squats, dead lifts, jumping, etc...) No limitations! 4/7/13
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Rhet Comfortable but too baggy These are comfortable fitness shorts and they work well for a variety of Crossfit-type workouts due to the stretchy material in the inner leg. However, the sizing seems to be off and they don't fit well. I'm 5' 7" with a 32 inch waist and ordered the size small but they are much too big -- even with the laces in the waist cinched all the way down, there is still an extra inch in the waist which means these shorts sit low and baggy. 5/27/14
Rated 3 out of 5Â by designerken Good Shorts but sizing is off I initially purchased these in large. The elastic waist helped to keep them on but they were a bit too big. I bought mediums and they fit much better but lost a bit of the room in the legs/inseem. I would recommend getting a smaller size if you are in between sizes. The problem I have with most clothing is that my legs are getting bigger and my waist is shrinking. (I know everyone wishes they had that problem). I usually get large in pants/shorts because of the extra leg room is needed. These are very comfortable in the overall scheme of things especially if you can get the while on sale. 3/5/14

On a very rare occasion I make something that takes even my breath away. This is one of those things. While I can't take credit for the pattern (which is really the source of all this beauty), I did spend countless hours working on this project and it always brings a smile to my face.
I'm so happy to have people to share it with this year. Please click on the pictures to see more details. Cross stitch is notoriously difficult to take photos of, especially when it's behind glass.

Lovely. That must have taken weeks.
How many strands of embroidery thread do you use when doing cross stitch? I always seem to have some of the white showing through on the few I've tried.
- December 13, 2007 at 12:26 PM
- Anina said...
lil d: For this project I used two strands but the stitches are tiny because the fabric count is really large, I think it was 18 count. If you have a smaller count fabric (i.e. bigger squares) you may want to experiment, but I've never used more than 3 strands.

He's wonderful! I can certainly appreciate the work that went into it. I collect Santas and have several Santa cross stitch patterns. I made one so far on my son's Christmas stocking. I have so many more of them I could do, but haven't been doing much cross stitch lately. You may start a new trend!

Hey, I have that picture, nice job! My mom made it for me, I still need to get it framed. I also have the blue one, that one is framed, and I have him out all year round, since I'm a huge Santa collector. I guess there was a green one in the trio, but that company never made it into a kit. Too bad.

Gorgeous - as an avid cross-stitcher before P&Q took over I know just how much work this piece took - well done for persevering to the end and what a treat to bring it out and enjoy it fresh each Christmas
- December 19, 2007 at 1:17 AM
Almost 30 years ago, I worked over a two-year period to complete a Christmas counted xstitch. After it was finished, I put it away for another 20 years because I didn't trust anyone to block it. I finally bit the bullet, had it blocked and framed. It hangs in my bedroom year around. Your work is beautiful, and shouldn't be hidden 11 months out of the year.

This hoodie is one of my favs. It's super soft and has a great slimming fit to it. Love that Hurley continues to offer in new colors so I can buy more colors in this perfect zip!
Member since
I was super excited for this hoodie and when I received it, I loved how soft it was and that it would be light enough to wear for the summer. Unfortunately, after wearing it only once, I noticed that the fabric in the underarm area had gotten rather pilly. After the second time I wore it, it was noticeable to others. :( Makes me so sad that I can't wear it anymore. :(

I bought a red autumn sage, and want to keep it coming back year after year. I've read that this plant needs well-drained soil, but I have clay. How can I improve my soil?
Autumn sage (Salvia Greggii) is a perennial Texas native, well suited for dry garden areas. It reaches 2-4 feet in height and has a long flowering season. It grows best in full sun, but will not tolerate poorly drained soil.
To improve the drainage of clay soil, work in at least 3 inches of organic matter (compost). Expanded shale may also be worked into the soil. This product is available at many of our local nurseries. Salvia Greggii is a magnet for butterflies and hummingbirds with a high resistance to deer and grasshoppers. To maintain a full, bushy shape prune them severely just before new growth begins in the spring.
I have wax myrtles that have been in the ground for a year. What kind of fertilizer should I use, and when is the best time to apply it?
Wax myrtles are hardy, native shrubs that are well adapted to Texas soil and weather conditions.
They thrive without any fertilizing except what occurs from nature. Fertilizer is very likely not necessary unless you want to improve their appearance and performance in your landscape. A fertilizer that is high in nitrogen and low in phosphorous (4-1-2 or 3-1-2) is best for Parker County soil. Selecting Texas native and adaptive plants for your landscape is advantageous for a number of reasons. They require less water, are resistant to most insects, provide food and shelter for wildlife, and save you money as you care for your landscape. For more information on native and adaptive plants, see our website www.pcmg-texas.org.
What is the problem with planting red tip photinias?
Red tip photinias (Fraser photinias) are shrubs that have great spring and fall color. They perform well in many landscapes but are susceptible to a fungus called Entomosporium mespili. This disease causes leaf damage severe enough to kill the plant. There is no known practical cure. There are a number of hollies that could serve the same purpose in your landscape, and would be a wiser choice.

By GREG MENGELT
It didn't take Charlestown coach Kevin Zollman long to realize that Alli Webster was going to be the best player he'd coached in more than a decade on the Pirates' bench.
Webster was a star from the outset and was the News and Tribune softball Player of the Year a year ago as a junior. After an unforgettable senior season, Webster is now a two-time Player of the Year.
"I knew from Day 1 when she came in as a freshman," Zollman said of his star's potential. "I knew she was good as an eighth-grader, but I didn't know how good. She hit the ball harder than most of my upperclassmen."
Webster said she came in prepared as a freshman because she was afraid of letting down the seniors, a couple of whom became some of her best friends.
"My freshman year is the year I worked harder than any," Webster said. "We had a lot of talent on the team and I knew I had to step up. I wanted to make sure the seniors had a successful year. Honestly, I was kind of scared not to be successful."
Like Zollman, Webster knew she was talented even before entering high school. However, she didn't know quite what to expect as a freshman member of the varsity.
"I didn't know how good I was," Webster admitted. "I had heard from other people. That year made me realize I could be as good as anybody out there."
She has certainly been that.
Webster owns nearly every Charlestown softball career record — both on offense and defense. On offense, her 161 hits, 37 doubles, 18 triples, 17 home runs, 118 runs and 120 RBIs are all benchmarks. In the pitching circle, she has set the Pirate standard for wins with 66, shutouts with 22, no-hitters with 10, 813 strikeouts and one perfect game.
"Alli's the best all-around player I've ever had," Zollman said. "She could go to center field and play with anybody, and she fields her position on the mound as well as anybody I've had."
"Alli Webster is not just a stellar pitcher, but an all-around excellent softball player," Henryville coach Jennifer Schroeder said. "You hate to face her as a batter and you hate to have to pitch to her, as well. She can hurt you offensively, too."
Although her home run numbers dropped from 10 to five from her junior to senior year — mostly because opposing pitchers were afraid to throw her good pitches — an argument can be made that Webster's senior year was the best of her career.
She batted .516 with 32 RBIs, 39 runs, 12 doubles and a triple. Plus, she only struck out five times in 91 at-bats. Opposing batters had just 53 hits and struck out 224 times against Webster. She had an astounding 1.08 earned-run average with 20 complete games and 10 shutouts.
However, what cemented Webster's legacy at Charlestown wasn't an individual accomplishment. After trying for three years, the Pirates finally got the sectional championship they sought this season — the first for Charlestown since 1997 — with a 5-3 semifinal win over Salem and a 12-0 victory over Brownstown Central in the championship.
"It meant everything," Webster said. "It wasn't only for me. Since I was a freshman, that was the goal. We had our chances [in the first three years] and we knew we needed to get it done this year. We pulled together as a team and beating Salem was the highlight of the whole year."
"I think that was very valuable to her," Zollman said. "We'd strived to be sectional champions. Three of the four years, we felt like we had a shot at it. It was the exclamation point in her career to get that title."
If the sectional championship was the exclamation of Webster's team success, her pitching stretch from April 17 to May 2 was her personal statement.
In that time period, Webster threw seven shutouts in eight games and gave up just one run. She had double-figure strikeouts in seven straight outings, including 17 against Madison on April 29 and 20 against Scottsburg the following night.
She had shutouts on four consecutive nights against Madison, Scottsburg, New Washington and Brownstown.
"She was just on that week," Zollman said. "The more she pitched, the better she pitched. The team played well behind her to be sure she didn't give up any runs."
Webster will take her diverse and skillful game to Wabash Valley College (Ill.) next year.
"I'm very excited," she said. "I can't wait to see if I'm as successful at that level. I'm looking forward to a harder level of competition."
"They'll be very fortunate to have her," Zollman said. "They're getting an outstanding athlete."
Although the Pirates were mostly a young team in 2013, Zollman knows replacing Webster will be nearly impossible.
"You're going to miss someone like Alli a ton," he said.
And Webster will miss her young teammates every big as much.
"Our team is extremely close," she said. "We're all best friends. It's going to be hard to leave them."

FEBS advanced practical course
State-of-the-art infection models for human pathogenic fungi
February 17 March 2, 2013 in Jena, Germany
Time is flying and we can look back at a very successfull FEBS Advanced practical course which took place from February 17 until March 2, 2013. 20 participants from 14 nations has been trained in state-of-the-art infection models to study human fungal pathogens.
Laboratory exercises have been focused primarily on Candida and Aspergillus, and included different infection models such as cell culture, interaction with primary immune cells, alternative model hosts and murine models, combined with a wide array of state-of-the-art read-out methods, e.g. adhesion, invasion and damage assays, phagocytosis assays, cytokine quantification, transcription analysis and in vivo imaging. In order to broaden students understanding of infection models and pathogenesis, invited seminar speakers provided further insight into Candida, Aspergillus, Cryptococcus and dermatophyte biology and the methods and models used to study interaction of these fungi with the host.
Social evenings and coffee/lunch breaks provided ample opportunities for informal exchange and discussions between participants and lecturers and all of us had lots of fun!
Some comments:
"Quality of lectures, lab facilities and overview of field surpassed my expectations!" - Seána
"Thanks for this great course and continue with it!" - Fedja
"I had a fantastic time & learned a great deal about different techniques and their applications. Also had the opportunity to get new insights in various fungal research." - Melanie
"I thouroughly enjoyed the course, and learned more than I thought I would, and networked also more than I thought I would." - Ben

PRINCESS ANNE, Md. (AP) - A 19-year-old man has been sentenced to life in prison for a fatal shooting on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
Joel Christopher Sutton was sentenced Friday for shooting Jessee Heath nine times in Princess Anne in October 2011. Two co-defendants are already serving jail sentences.
Somerset County Judge Daniel Long called the shooting the most senseless crime he's seen in his more than two decades on the bench.
The judge denied a defense lawyer's request to commit Sutton to a facility for younger offenders. Sutton was also sentenced to 20 years in prison on a firearm conviction and must serve at least five years of that sentence before becoming eligible for parole.
Sutton's father, Jody Sutton, said he believed his son was wrongly convicted.

Armadillo: Monday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports weekend.....
13) UCLA coach Ben Howland put an end to the Shabazz Muhammad era in Westwood this weekend, saying the kid was going to the NBA next year. Muhammad has played well, UCLA is 23-8, for Howland to quickly send a star player on his way tells us one of two things.......
a) The kid is a pain in the butt, but considering UCLA had Reeves Nelson a couple years ago, this option is less likely than........
b) Had Muhammad returned, the NCAA would've come calling, and when the NCAA comes calling, often times the coach loses his job.
Either way, Howland has to recruit like a junior college coach; tremendous amount of turnover in his program.
12) Sunday night at 11pm, replay of a White Sox-Padre spring training game, with the great Dick Enberg on the mike. Thats quality entertainment.
11) Erik Compton is one of my heroes; guy has had two heart transplants, and he still plays on the PGA Tour. Compton finished T5 at Honda Classic this weekend in Florida, his first top 10 finish. Will somebody please make a movie about this guy?
10) Sportsbook.com posted 43.5 as the over/under for any major leaguer hitting home runs this season, the lowest such total since 1996. The bet is whether or not you think any hitter will hit 44 HRs this season. Anyone.
9) MAAC basketball tournament is next weekend in Springfield, MA, but there are no MAAC teams in Massachusetts, only one in Connecticut. What genius came up with this idea?
Geographic breakdown of the MAAC:
-- two teams in eastern NY (Marist/Siena)
-- two teams in Buffalo area (Niagara/Canisius)
-- two teams in New Jersey (Rider/St Peter's)
-- two teams in Westchester/Bronx (Iona/Manhattan)
-- Fairfield is in Connecticut, Loyola is in Maryland.
I am sure Springfield is a terrific place, but who is going to go to watch the MAAC tournament, when there are no local teams in it?
8) Further examination of Joe Flacco's contract show a $29M payment in 2016, which means the contract will get re-done after 2015, making it, in effect, a 3-year deal. Still a very lucrative deal.
7) There are bitter defeats, then there is Baylor's loss at home to Kansas State Saturday night. Game was tied with 0:01 left, Baylor had the ball out of bounds, 95 feet from the basket. Worst they can do is overtime, right?
Baylor throws a baseball pass length of court, but it goes out of bounds with no one touching it, so K-State gets it under their offensive basket- they set up a play, McGruder drains a 3 at the buzzer, and Baylor might be headed to the NIT as a result. Horrendous way to lose a game.
6) Since 1985, only two teams won the NCAA tournament without having had at least one winning streak of 6+ games during the season: Arizona in 1997, Michigan State in 2000. We'll monitor that later this month.
5) Virginia beats Duke, then loses at Boston College. Of course they did.
4) Providence won six of last seven games, after starting Big East play 2-7; credit to Ed Cooley, who seems to have things going in the right direction with his Friars. Have to win recruiting battles before you can win games, and Cooley is an excellent recruiter.
3) Was watching the European Tour on Golf Channel Sunday morning, and the 4th hole was a 685-yard par 5. 685 yards!!!! Hole wasn't too tough- the scoring average on it was something like 4.48.
2) Tampa Bay Buccaneers have 24 assistant coaches; three other teams have 23. NFL teams only have 53 active players each week. Seems like overkill, but in fairness, three of the 24 Buc assistants are strength coaches. Still, thats a lot of assistants. What do they do all winter?
1) Pretty good pair of games at Staples Center Sunday, with Thunder edging the Clippers and Lakers beating Atlanta by a point. Impossible to know, but wonder how many people were at both games?

Purchase the optional All Sports Target and instantly turn the net into an all sports practice net. The All Sports Target is a two-sided movable target that will mount anywhere in front of the netting to allow different target heights and locations for practicing virtually anything.
