North Carolina woman arrested on seven tax charges
Columbia, SC --- Capricia Janeen Wizzard-Murray, of Knightdale, NC, was arrested today by South Carolina Department of Revenue investigators on seven counts of willfully assisting in the preparation of a fraudulent tax return.
During 2009, Wizard-Murray prepared and submitted fraudulent SC individual income tax returns to SCDOR on behalf of seven individual taxpayers. The income tax returns included fraudulent taxpayer information along with fraudulent W-2 information. The fraudulent income tax returns generated SC tax refunds for individuals who were not entitled to a tax refund.
Wizzard-Murray is currently being held at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center in Columbia pending a bond hearing. If convicted of the seven charges, she could face penalties of up to 35 years in prison and/or $3,500 in fines plus the cost of prosecution.

Vacuum Filters
Who does not love a clean house free from grime and dust? Vacuum cleaner filters are the essential parts of the vacuum cleaner that keep the dirt sucked up by the cleaner in the machine. It helps kill the germs and contaminants that are trapped within. They are positioned such that they can trap the dust mites and pollutants before it reaches the motor and the exhaust. There are various kinds of filters available including the ultra fine air filter and some vacuum cleaning systems even use water as a filter. Water filtration helps trap wet dust that is not airborne. Having a fully functional vacuum filter is critical to maintain the suction and dirt handling ability of the vacuum cleaner. You are not just saving yourself from the harmful effects of these dust particles but also saving the critical parts of the vacuum cleaning system from failure. We recommend you change vacuum filters regularly, once in six months atleast.
Want to find a filter for your vacuum cleaning system? At GoVacuum, we have a full range of filters including motor filters and HEPA filters. The vacuum cleaner is a formidable cleaning tool today and the combination of its cleaning capacity and ease of use are major factors that influence the buying decision. We seek to provide all the information about vacuum cleaning systems and various replacement parts including vacuum filters which you can use to extend the life of your vacuum cleaner for several years.

Planning an event in Atlanta is an event in itself. Whether you're planning a Wedding, Party, or Business event, you can be sure Atlanta has an overabundance of venues and service providers to cater to your every need.
When planning an event in Atlanta, timing is key. You typically want to plan an event around Atlanta rush hour traffic, which begins around 3 p.m. You should also take into consideration special events, such as baseball, football, and basketball games, as well as concerts and conventions, as these events can cause traffic to be very congested.
After deciding when, the next step is deciding where to hold your special event. Atlanta is an exciting city full of history and culture. There is a place for every kind of event imaginable, whether it is indoors or outdoors.
When planning any kind of event, Atlanta has a lot to offer. Whether it's downtown or midtown, you can be sure your event will be the talk of the town!

This weeks Blog Azeroth shared topic is:
Have you ever tried to introduce real life friends to WoW? If yes, how did it go? If you never have, why not?
Sometimes even talking to real life friends about WoW seems impossible, even if they are into video games in general. There seems like a huge barrier of information and jargon that is impossible to explain efficiently enough to support the anecdote you want to inject into an otherwise non-WoW related conversation.
I've actually introduced real life friends to WoW twice. The first time was back just before The Burning Crusade was launched. This first friend jumped right in and got hooked on the game. He eventually was the person who introduced me to raiding and gold earning. He's not playing anymore but I'd have to say that introduction went extremely successfully.
Then just recently another friend got a trial account. The difference is striking — my second friend has played one character of every race, alliance and horde, to level 20 and then stopped. So, he played a lot, but hasn't so far decided to take the plunge to a full account. There are three factors that seem like impediments to him. First, his account was hacked and that was an unpleasant experience. Second, he is afraid it might become too time consuming. And last but not least, there is just so much to learn now — the game has stretched out so far compared to vanilla. It must feel impossible to a truly new player that they can ever catch up. Basics that veteran players take for granted are hard to explain, like addons, duel-specs, glyphs, mail, the auction house, etc etc etc… The trial account restrictions didn't help much either.
I suppose many factors influence whether a new player ends up playing in the long term, but my general feeling is it's harder now than it used to be.

Certified Factory Reconditioned Oreck® DualMax®
The Oreck DualMax® Air Purifier provides easy maintenance due to its permanent filtration system, Oreck's patented Truman Cell®. DualMax features two fans that produce twice as much airflow as our leading air purifier. That's double the power to move the air, draw it in and capture pollen, dust, pet dander, cigarette smoke and other allergens from the air that passes through the filter.* Because this model is factory reconditioned, it comes with a 1-year limited warranty.** It's perfect for rooms up to 200 square feet.^
What makes this model Certified Factory Reconditioned?
- Its permanent filter (the Truman Cell®) and the air purifier itself have been thoroughly cleaned.
- Any damaged components have been replaced.
- A complete diagnostic test has been done to ensure that the unit functions correctly.
Any scuffs, scratches or poor color matches are cosmetic and do not affect the operation of the air purifier. You get one of Oreck's best selling air purifiers at a fraction of the original cost!
All product refurbishment is done at the Oreck factory to ensure that quality process standards are met.

Double the airflow. Twice the power.
Oreck's DualMax® Air Purifier, features two fans that produce twice as much airflow as our leading purifier. That's double the power to move the air, draw it in and capture pollen, dust, pet dander, cigarette smoke and other allergens that pass through the filter.
It's not just any filter, either, but our exclusive Truman Cell® filtration system, combined with our high-efficiency odor absorber, the Helios Shield®. Both are designed for high performance and easy maintenance — and will never need replacing. Getting fresher, cleaner air has never been easier.
Advanced engineering in a quiet, compact design
How does this unique filter system work? Oreck's patented Truman Cell® captures dust and allergens from the air that passes through it, pulling them out of the air like a magnet. At the same time, the Helios Shield® is working to reduce common household odors as well as chemical fumes such as paint smells, the gases put off from new rugs and furniture, aerosol vapors and cleaning supply odors from the air that passes through its filter. The dual fans then push cleaner, fresher air back out into the room.
Easy to use, durable
Most air purifiers rely on expensive filters that have to be replaced and can eventually end up in a landfill. The Oreck DualMax® Air Purifier features a permanent Truman Cell® that never needs to be replaced. Simply wash with soap and water, rinse clean and let dry. The odor filter, what we call the Helios Shield®, is permanent as well (it doesn't even come out of the unit) and does not require any maintenance. So not only do you get cleaner air with a DualMax®, you get to feel good about making a less wasteful choice.
Try the Oreck DualMax® Air Purifier risk-free for 30 days.
The DualMax™ has more than twice the power of our leading air purifier and is more compact than our tower air cleaner. Recommended for rooms up to 200 sq. ft, the 15.7 pound DualMax® was designed with portability in mind. Not sure whether to use it in the master bedroom, playroom or den? Then try it out in your own home, in all those rooms, and smell the difference it can make — risk-free for 30 days.If you don't love it, you don't keep it.® We'll even pay the return shipping!

Problems Filling Up My Pacifica
PF_Flyer Pennsylvania Furnace, PAPosts: 6,092There are a few more variables you might want to consider before you start looking for a problem with your car. Have you changed the places where you fill up? Have the places you fill up at changed equipment? I know there are stations where I have to stand there and make sure that the pump keeps fueling because it will constantly shut off, Iassume from fuel sloshing back up the filler tube and making the pump THINK the tank is filled, and other places where I never have this happen. My workaround at the places it does, is to set the pump handle to dispense the fuel at a slower rate. This seems to work most of the time. Going by my experiences at the pumps with different cars, I'm leaning towards the idea that you're not really looking at a problem with your Pacifica.
Heck, even seasonal changes in the weather can have an effect. You said you got your Pacifica in June, but didn't notice this until the fall. I discovered a loose gas cap last summer because of the hot weather increasing pressure in the tank and causing gas to be forced back up the filler neck and out through the loose seal after I had filled up. The solution was to not fill it to the brim.
Gas station variations, changing weather. This is also your first year with the car, so this is also your first look at how things might change or behave differently at different times of the year.
Also, let me point out a change in the forums here you may not have noticed. I've added a Chrysler Pacific Maintenance & Repair folder for these "problem" type of dicussions. You can find it on the main Chrysler Pacifica Group page about the list of discussions.

Share your vehicle reviews
pf flyer's advice was of no help to me whatsoever. Everything he suggested I had already tried, with no success. I had already tried different gas pumps with the same result, although some pumps are more difficult than others. If anything, I'm finding the problem to be worse. Filling slower has not made any difference for me.
I have found that it helps to take the nozzle completely out of the filler, wait a few seconds, and then reinsert it. It will "click off" a little less if you do it that way. Hopefully somebody at Chrysler has been paying attention and will come up with a fix of some kind. :mad:
Jason5 Posts: 440I've noticed that if I'm in a hurry and use the pump at "full speed", it fills MOSTLY all the way and kicks back a great deal. When I allow the pump to run fast until it kicks, wait a few seconds, then fill it slowly the rest of the way, I can add an extra gallon or two.
I just purchased this vehicle and it has all that I wanted--except the clock.
I can get a complete unit out of a 2005, complete with the bezel intact and am wondering if I will have issues/problems, and if so, what they might be?
Thanks for any assistance.
I appreciate it.
I can't help you with the problem--except to suggest that it may be that particular station.
However, I always wonder when I hear statements like "NOT to overfill the tank". I know they say it but how can you overfill the tank? To me it is either full or not full. I guess they probably mean not to fill up to the top of the filler neck, but they could actually say that.
Oh well.
I hope your problem gets solved without additional monies being spent.
geno22 Posts: 1I'm having the same problem with my 2006 Pacifica. Some gas stations are better than others but I've never been able to completely fill the tank without it cutting off at some point. I'd like to hear more about the foam piece that was mentioned in post #15. My dealership seemed clueless. I'm also having a problem where the gas gauge will go from a half-tank to empty within a few miles. Are the two related? Thanks in advance.
My mechanic took off the tank and replaced both fuel pumps, syphon hoses and gas gauge sensors (all located in the fuel tank)--be sure to use Chrysler factory parts from a dealer. They cost about 426-475 for all parts plus tax. He charged about $350 for labor. Works like new now. Worked for me. I found the answer on another website. Good luck.
joerauh Posts: 4My 05 Pacifica touring is now having this issue. Does anyone have a definative solution other than having the local dealer experiment on it? I have following symptons: Gas tank only lets a few gallons in before I have to 'spoon feed' it (trickel the gas in till the filler neck is full) to get it it fill up. It now only takes a max of about 12 gallons now (used to be 20 I thought). I thought the pacifica has a 20 gallon tank. The gas gauge or fuel gauge, goes from 1/2 full to empty in about 10 miles now. The 'miles till empty' drops from 120 miles to-go to 10 miles to-go withing a 2 mile range now. Is this a venting issue, a gas tank issue or a fule transfer issue? I'm now unemployed and hate to be a lab rat. I would like to have a solid answer (and estimate) before leaving it at the dealer.
jasbrice Posts: 1Has anyone found out a solution to this problem with filling up? I have let my car run completely out and then filled it up slowly, which took forever, until it over flowed and that was only 10 gallons. Any help is appreciated. And the answers that talk about the gas station>>>>that has nothing to do with it, I have been to MANY.
snmmountains Posts: 1chysler said they will pay for they will pay for half of the cost of replacing the fuel tank which will cost $1200...this is the only fix they say...this is unacceptable as this is a safty issue becuase the car can stall...chrysler said they will not pay for all of it becuase not enough people have complained which i cant understand as i see this problem being complained about all over the net...contact chrysler and the national highway traffic safty addmin.. maybe we can get chrysler to fix this problem before someone gets hurt..they sent a car out of their factory doors w/ the wrong gas tank and now the car is unsafe to drive and this is unacceptable!...please contact me anyone...maybe we can all get together and keep from getting the shaft by chrysler and stop people from getting hurt becuase of a faulty product!
just got a pacifica with a bad gas tank.the gas pump keeps clicking has if its full at about $15.00 at the pump its been in the shop three time.if i keep trying to force gas in it will start pushing back out.its currently in the shop again getting a new gas tank....my 30 day warranty is almost up ...it this dont work i dont know what to do....
dbwsr1 Posts: 1Three times the pumps had to be replaced. The pumps three years ago were faulty. Have not had a problem since then. Surprised you have not had a problem till now, unless you just bought the car. In that case, if you investigate, you will find a history of the problem. The tank has two pumps, one for the engine, and one to pump the second tank into the first tank. Your gas gauge will show empty when the second pump does not work, and of course then the only tank you can fill is the first. The pump shuts off. Plus making a hard left or right turn at a certain speed the car will stall. You have gas, but the car does not not it, or cannot access it. The new pumps work good now. I got the same story at first, but after going to Detroit, they admitted a problem.
frustrated62 Posts: 1Hey, has anyone had a problem with a crack at the top of the fuel tank? I am told that the fuel tank of my 2006 Pacifica has to be replaced along with the fuel pump and ??? something else.........I think he said fuel line, not sure. Anyway, due to the "shrinking" of the fuel tank with the heat here in Florida, there is a crack at the fuel pump. The dealership said that replacing only the pump, will not work since due to the shrinking of the tank, this will cause a crack at the pump again.
Really, why is a gas tank shrinking?? Is this normal? And if so, why haven't I had this problem with any other car I've owned? How do I know this won't happen to the new gas tank.
This has to be a flaw in the tank????? Help..........this is a $2000.000 plus repair.
tee10 Posts: 10Don't let Chrysler use your vehicle as an experiment. They are making a killing replacing fuel pumps, gas tanks fuel sending units and fuels modules. I went through all of this and after spending hundreds, the solution ended up costing around $3.00. They HAVE TO know it's a simple fix that you can do yourself. I've outlined it in my post here: http://www.dodgeboard.com/forums/index.php?threads/my-crazy-gas-gauge.6381/
Good Luck!
tylorness88 Posts: 5
We had the same issue with my 05 Pacifica. The fuel tank has two side and there is a small pump inside the tank that transfers the fuel from one side to the other during use and refueling that has gone bad. The only thing to do is have the whole thing replaced and that is well over $1000 and Chrysler refuses to accept that this was a design flaw. I can only get a half tank in my car and it registers as full but takes about 10 minutes to even get that far.

The Five Stages of Griefing: Death of the Consoles
Depression: What good are consoles
As we discussed, my largest gripe with console gaming is that you are locking art to a specific set of standards which are legal property of a third party. I am a very big proponent of the cultural impact of art which inherently implies the permanence. I am sickened by the industry as a whole, even beyond the scope of console gaming, and their attempts to strong-arm content that could very-well be timeless into disposable entertainment. Consoles promote this practice by themselves being disposable along with any content that relies upon them for access.
Okay, so this page is more 'depressing' than 'depression'. Belated warning.
Art is simply not valued enough by the average person. The purpose of art is the expression of our human nature and our attempt to contain complicated ideas and emotions in a communicable medium. Culture is often created through the experience and study of the received information. This culture advances us as much as it attempts to define us: the issues discussed are just that, discussed; the experiences had are likewise just that, experienced. We see echoes of art as positive forces on society: reduced crime rates often trail the release of violent media (and according to Slate, reduced violent sex-crime rates trailing increased Internet access -- food for thought; Avenue Q would agree).
Art should be thought of as a multi-directional entity. Communication is not necessarily from an author to an audience: during your experience with a video game you are constantly interacting and potentially expressing yourself in the process. A complicated interactive packet of content allows the user to express themselves just as much as those who developed the art itself: a little part of you being communicated when you choose to do good, evil, both, or neither in a well-made RPG; a little part of you being communicated in the style you use to gain advantages over your opponents in multiplayer games particularly during strategy games like Starcraft, but also in shooters and other games as well. That piece of you is then communicated when you discuss what happened with friends and others; this thought extends to mod communities without much explanation. While entertainment is important in our lives, the perceived profitability can dangerously encroach on the benefits of art.
Back in my day, our games had a single-digit number in the title! Even Final Fantasy!
Also, imagine the difficulty to be endured when this art is attempted to be studied. How often have you seen scholarly reviews of art just four years beyond creation? More often forty to four hundred? The merits of video games as an art medium are being debated at the same time as the industry debates the merits of PC gaming to conflicting results. Progress is made in developing timeless narrative for art that cannot be timeless without constant re-release by the original creator should they still exist; also, art attempts to unite a culture that is segmented by purely artificial boundaries.
A final note: the general acceptance of proprietary platforms is not even natural. There were intense apprehensions in the general public preventing the adoption of high-definition media discs for movies as the view was that they could not co-exist. At around that time there were no fewer than seven co-existing incompatible platforms for video games. Unlike the music, video, and print mediums where the constant struggle is to open up: the video game industry believes they are contented with progressively closed platforms despite obviously combating the negative corollaries that fall out as a result.
Accepting that PC Gaming is better?
While I agree with many of your points, the $10 price difference for PC games is quickly eroding.
Not quite actually.
The $10 price-jack on PC games is done by *publishers*. They are doing it because they feel that price vs. units sold justifies that cost, and they justify it with "to counter-act piracy".
There was a time where many console games, such as Madden, were $10 more expensive than they are now ($70 CDN when every other console game was $60 and PC games were $50). Eventually they found that the reduction of sales warranted dropping the price back down.
The point is that the $10 extra we're getting charged right now is not for an actual cost like it is on the consoles (royalty fees).
If people simply stop buying $60 PC games until they go on sale, or more people use the PC so they can't justify "to compensate for piracy", or whatever -- then it will go back to the way it was for more publishers. It's just their attempt to increase profits per unit sold... just a little bit. I actually addressed this point in an earlier draft of the editorial, but I cut it for reading-flow.
Sure, the prices may be increased by publishers, but the end consumer is still seeing the increased price, so the math stops working.
I agree, I always wait for steam sales or the like, and frankly a steam copy should cost less than the retail copy with box and disc anyway...
The key point is that we're temporarily seeing the increased price so the publishers can see if they can get away with it. Prices will vary over time, but they can only vary to what would be profitable.
With less money "already spoken for", they are capable of lowering prices further. It's our job as consumers to make them lower it.
Not for the games I purchase. My games run in the 20-40 range. I dont go anywhere near 60. If it starts high (Skyrim) I wait until it drops. Thanks to Steam I usually get fairly new games dirt cheap.
New Vegas dropped by 40% right after it debuted, during Steams Thanksgiving sale. Most of their games are around 50% of the MSRP. I can get a lot more for less money day to day. And waiting for a sale can save me even more.
Ready for flame bait?
"The PC is better because... it can provide no lesser of an experience than a console."
Until you play online and join a server that has someone cheating (dern BF3 and its knife hax). Happens far less often when I'm playing console games than it does on PC.
Though, if I'm being honest, I STILL have far more fun on PC than I do on the 360.
I actually have experienced *way* more cheating when I played on Xbox Live than I did on the PC.
I play on dedicated servers with admins... something the consoles do not have.
It is also a better experience, because then you play with the same people over and over again... develop mini-friendships and rivalries over who can knife the heck out of each other the most, etc.
tl;dr: PC gaming is great. But there are areas it falls short. Saying consoles have no redeeming qualities and PCs are "better" is like saying a Mac has no redeeming qualities and [insert OEM of choice]+Windows is better (or the reverse). Its just not true.
Prepare for a wall of text.
I've been in rooms with people lag switching, but that's about the extent of the (obvious) cheating I've experienced on XBL. On BF3 alone though I've personally experienced at least one aim bot, a guy knifing me from across the map, and another guy who somehow didn't stay dead. Maybe I've just had a bout of bad luck.
Either way, I'll grant you that one. Having dedicated servers is a very valid point. And eventually like every platform, there will be console exploits that are found and...exploited.
However, if the goal of your argument is for PCs are all around better than consoles, and should become more mainstream, where do dedicated servers fit into this? Managing a server list breaks the simplicity of gaming, and if Apple has taught us anything when it comes to consumer electronics, it that you keep it simple.
PCs in my (admittedly limited) experience just don't have the same kind of matchmaking flair. I spent quite literally years playing PGR3 online on an almost nightly basis. NFS Shift 2 came nowhere close to that. Same thing with Halo 3 and BF:BC2.
There are many areas in which PCs are better. I'll admit that one whole heartedly. The fact that I can decide how well I want my game to play, buy a game once and play it in multiple places (desktop and laptop), and with things like Steam and Amazon I gain easy access to buying and managing games with non-suck DRM.
I have the option of using a controller, a mouse and keyboard, a joystick, a flight stick, a steering wheel, a game board, etc. I have options and control.
I have the option to upgrade. With BF3, I drop the cash on a better GPU, and go on about my business, or drop quality settings. With Halo:Reach, when I have ridiculous frame rate drops, I just have to live with it.
If something breaks, I have the option of troubleshooting it myself, becoming a parts swapper, or dropping cash to get it fixed.
These are all things I LIKE about PC gaming, and what will keep me a PC gamer. NOT because I think PC gaming is all around "better".
This is all to say, I hate when people say something is "best". Better in many respects? Sure. But rarely in things of this nature is something "best".
I want to clarify my point carefully: it is not that the consoles do not have redeeming qualities, it is that every one of those redeeming qualities fit on the PC if it was supported properly and had a large user base AND with the PC there is no baggage to go along with those console benefits.
There are good matchmaking methods on the PC, such as Starcraft 2. For many games, however, the option for a server browser is a better alternative.
As for cheating, the reason why I said dedicated servers with admins is because if someone cheats? They're banned from the server by the owner. Also, if someone griefs? They're banned from the server by the owner. If the server has special rules like "don't waste a vehicle to get another vehicle", violators can be banned from the server by the owner.
On the consoles, you are stuck waiting for the developer or platform owner to step in... if they do.
Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and
gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell
to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
Good editorial! Why I don't play Xbox/PS3 >>> http://goo.gl/kvoDo
However.... I do own a PS3. Back in 2009 if you bought a HDTV at best buy for black friday, they gave you a 250$ blu ray player. If you were weaselly about it, you could convince the store associates to credit you $250 for a ps3 which cost $299 at the time; therefore $49.00 ps3.
If you're like me, also, you buy console games used. This is an option to anyone within driving distance of a gamestop/video game retailer, and should probably be considered, right?
Thanks for the compliment.
I know used game sales make the console appear better... but:
1) The PC used to have it before the piracy boogyman made the customers allow publishers to take that away.
2) The consoles are well on their way to losing it too. Sony wanted 25-character CD Keys with games. They're just having a hard time justifying it.
3) The underlying problem is DRM... which we need to address for the platform as a whole.
especially with game-breaking DRM like Origin which is so invasive that it makes some gamers not want to play their games (including myself).
The point of the comment was not to make consoles appear better or argue for that point, it was just to say maybe the ability for people to sell used console games back to the retailer and vice versa versus the inability for retailers to buy and sell used pc games should be considered in the cost calculation. Even if its only minute, they do offer competitive buyback prices for newer games.
I acknowledge that doing a cost breakdown is ridiculously complicated and that used game sales (while the publishers will still allow it) can reduce the cost for gamers.
At the same token, I also did not account for the owning of multiple consoles + accessories, purchasing the same console multiple times, etc. So it is not like I approximated favourably to my point... I simply approximated because I couldn't do it precisely.
I love how all the numbers are made to make it look more expensive.
Use the Xbox so you can include Live fees when they don't exist on PS3 as you can still play for free. Exclude the huge used gaming market which doesn't really exist on the PC and you can get games much cheaper than the $10 difference.
It's easy to make the numbers look in your favor and I expected no less.
This is just the typical garbage that gets re-hashed year after year by the PC Elite crowd.
I wonder where PC gaming and the Devs would be without the money they make in the console Market. The last numbers I saw for BF3 were something like 5-8 million sold and out of that 500k were sold on PC.
There was a time that you could purchase used games on the PC as well. DRM pretty much killed that for retailers.
Here are the two reasons why I did not consider it:
1) The consoles are on their way to losing that as well... they just cannot justify it with piracy (they can't with PC either, but people believe them when they say it there)
2) DRM harasses PC gaming in many other ways... and is one of the key problems that we need to address. The thing is, we *can* address it... "the couple that are valid are completely eliminated by a larger core user-base". It is not an inherent flaw with PC Gaming.
Also, that's 500,000 *reported* PC sales of Battlefield 3. EA's Origin Service... probably the dominant method of purchase for the PC version as it's required even if you did not buy it from there {I believe everyone on my BF3 clan purchased it from Origin except one, who purchased from Direct2Drive which is also not counted}... did not disclose their sales figures so they're not included.
Also, even if you remove Xbox Live fees: it is still on par with PC Gaming. (The PC would still be ~$38 cheaper.) I was also very generous with sales of accessories... a single Kinect or PS Move w/ Navigation controller blows that $150 figure out of the water.

Yet another one sided silly argument on why PC's are superior.
I game on ALL platforms, and have so for years. I am a PC gamer first and have been since the Atari 400. However that doesn't stop me from enjoying both platforms as they were intended to be used. You failed to address the only important factor when it comes to Console vs PC and that is comfort and setup for the average person. Sorry but a Couch/coffee table is in no way equal to a Desk when it comes to a proper place to have your mouse and keyboard. In this respect a PC does not work in most living room setups.
Games that I prefer a mouse and keyboard on (most) get played on my PC at a desk where I have proper ergonomics and with a 24" widescreen get just as good of an experience as sitting across the living room from my 55" lcd. Games that I don't prefer a mouse and keyboard get played on one of my consoles as sometimes it is nice to sit back in the recliner and just play a game with your thumbs.
The PC isn't dieing and neither are consoles. They both have a place and frankly articles like this are getting more than a little tired.
I did not say consoles will die... I said:
"The concept that consoles are better than PCs, given a fraction of the support that consoles receive, is about to die; console supporters are in various levels of grief."
You can easily put a home-theatre PC in your living room and play on it with a controller. As I shown in "Bargaining", you could get that Home Theatre PC for just as cheap as the consoles all-expenses considered.
The point is simple: it is not an inherent problem with the PC.
Would also like to add there is a a lot that goes into how easy it is to game on a console.
Lets compare BF3, right now, guess what, no easy way to establish VoIP in game without getting everyone on your list on say TS, etc... or through Battlelog, then who knows if they have a microphone hooked up.
I think every xbox these days comes with a microphone so everyone can jump in a game and you can squad up and be talking right away, not so easy on the PC.
Also, like it or not, the PC does require some knowledge to operate and some people just don't want that. They want to come home turn on the console and be online. The consoles make it easy and yes you are giving up some stuff that the PC provides but it's obvious judging by sales that its working.
I game on PC, XBox and PS3. In fact I spent $2500 just to get back into PC gaming and run BF3 maxed at not less than 60FPS because that's what I demand on PC. I am in IT and I have lots of friends who aren't that just don't grasp the idea of gaming on a PC, I don't blame them because at times it can be a PITA.
Is the overall experience better on the PC..? Yes even if only from a graphics standpoint.
Consoles are here and are making a ton of money. If you go the route of hitting the used market, buying Live from eBay or waiting for deals you can cut down the costs a lot.
There are friends, family, small business computer stores, and larger computer OEMs (who would fit the experience offered by console manufacturers) for hardware support and some software support.
Also, the "PITA" problems are not the fault of PC Gaming as a platform, rather the current state of PC Gaming. I think Jeremy on the podcasts is vocal enough about the current state of the platform, but those problems can be solved; the current and future problems of the consoles simply cannot be.
You could of course say unless people settle on a single, unified, open console. The point I'm making is: that's a PC.
Also, going back to the point I made about the W3C -- the internet used to be complicated to use as well. All the members of the W3C innovated in their own ways... and that barrier to entry reduced a lot (amongst all the other things they did, like compatibility). There's no reason the same cannot happen for PC Gaming.
I plugged my headset into my PC and that was it, I was talking to my squad in BF3. I also didn't need to pay a subscription to play online....perhaps BF3 on 360 is not so easy after all!
As for sales, the PC is about equal with the 360 once you count digital sales for BF3 and leads all platforms on Skyrim.
For all the words you put out, someone could have thought you put some actual though into this. The Wii, Xbox360, PS3 and PC serve very different markets. Obviously you havnt actually looked at whats available. Ill admit there is some overlap between consoles and PCs, but you wouldnt play a platform game like Uncharted Drake series on a PC. Youd play it in the living room, in a big environment with others. Go look at whats available. I can but will not ever get a Xbox because they just dont have the types of entertainment i like. Same with Wii. As for PCs, youve got to be kidding. There is always some sort of tweaking necessary even on generic Intel/Nvidia, ie they shipped crap.
The costs dont even make sense. You can always sell your console games or rent them or buy them used.
Article just doesnt make sense. PC platform is for games that need keyboard and mouse to properly navigate their environment. Although you can get console controller for the PC, it loses out on the ease of use of consoles.
Every single $60 game on PC has required me to go through the setting options and change a million archaic graphic and other settings to get it to look and play nice.
"The costs dont even make sense. You can always sell your console games or rent them or buy them used."
Not if the publishers get their way, you cannot. You used to be able to do that with the PC as well. DRM got in the way. Also, the PC in the figure has a MUCH better experience than the console in the same figure.
Also -- I play platformers on my PC. Often with a controller. I could play it on the couch as well except I actually don't really like the couch personally. When I played on the 360 I actually bought a VGA adapter to play it on a computer monitor. The point is that the PC gives you the choice. You could use "a PC" as a home theatre PC with a controller and a media center interface such as the discussed Steam Big Picture -- configured by a local small business computer store if you desire.
There is nothing that the consoles can do that the PCs cannot -- at least as well, if not better. In the long run, consoles are much worse. Sure you could point to issues *now*... but those issues just need a larger user base and more platform support to be mitigated. For the consoles, I could (and did) point to a huge number of issues that simply are not, and never will be, going away.
" Go look at whats available. "
i quote you.^
obviously, you can hook up any pc through hdmi or s-video or.. rca--- to a tv. in your living room. 8ft from the couch/recliner. all the materials to do this you already own. if not they are availible. furthermore, let me say that a common end-table or tv-tray makes a great place to put a wireless mouse.
"Every single $60 game on PC has required me to go through the setting options and change a million archaic graphic and other settings to get it to look and play nice. "
pc ALwayS? needs tweaking? you are sitting so much closer to the screen on YOUR pc setup, that all those imperfections u have forgiven on the blurry ol ps3?+hdtv show up More.
id bet if you compared pc to ps3 to 360 to wii. you would find out that they are all computers! the article does a great job explaining the differences in them. dont forget that consoles:gaming as apple:cellphones&tablets. You wanna be associated with the crowd that whines, " it just works!"
a true multimedia pc is a lot of responsibility. it is not for everyone. for someone like me (hundreds of games spread over generations) i have two choices lose my sanity and quit gaming, or, consolidate all my games onto pc, using simple backup techniques and free emulators. there are so many advantages it really makes it tough to understand your argument.
best wishes happy new year. ps. with the discs stored safely away. you dont risk damage. best of all you dont have to get up to change the disk.
Great article! I just wish some console-only titles were available on PC, like Fable 2.
Thanks. I agree -- but without the proprietary platforms like the consoles, there wouldn't be exclusives at all.
I have been using the PC for...well more years then I like to admit at times. I have also been using consoles for just about as long as computers.
Some points I think that have been touched but not clearly stated are as followed:
Support and Accounts:
Do to service obligations, I find myself deployed. Not using my unnamed console for about two months, I receive a letter stating my account is banned for market place theft. I have been fighting a battle to get it reinstated (which has been proved to be a false claim) for the last 4 months. Now without the used of this account the time and money I have spent are down the drain and have to start over again. The problem lying in separate entities within a company for handling support issues. Not once in 20+ years of PC gaming have I received an email saying I can not use any content for any game I have ever purchased on the PC.
Another issue is the bugs. Now I agree that the PC can have more issues with a game then the console, but the inherit reason behind that, is the multitude of choices of software and hardware that interact on a PC. The freedom of choice does come with some pain, but it is that choice that has given us the ability to do for years what consoles are not starting to let you do.
PC games will usually have a longer life span of fixes for games then Console markets. As stated in the article, user base mods, and other supplements have given PC games a longer life span and greater enjoyment to go back and play years after it is off the shelf.
The big console game that has turned my wife into a hard core gamer is also one of the biggest ones she has pulled her hair out about. Fable 3, was not a bad game, but bugs and glitches dragged it down. My wife would check forums and read news, awaiting for information on when there was a fix coming for many problems. To no avail did it come.
Open Platform:
The ability to have an open platform would be great, but I doubt will ever happen. I think the next best thing would be allowing for software openness on an OS level on consoles. The PS3 did start a good thing when they allowed people to install Linux to be installed on a PS3. For the time when this was allowed, the hacking scene was pretty quite. Piracy was not a concern, people could do more of what they wanted with their console. It gave them the freedom to have almost everything they wanted for a box hooked to the TV. Once Sony end that era of freedom, hacking ensued, and piracy grew.
I was one of the people that enjoyed unlocking my original Xbox for the simple reason of installing XBMC on it. To me that was an answer to my want of having something that could steam my media to my TV and still have the ability to play my purchased games without an issue.
I do think both PC and Console systems have their merits, but neither will ever be that full and complete solution to the masses. I think the right and left are to divided to ever find something truly in the middle that will satisfy either party.
When you argue simplicity over function. Expand-ability over Stability, you are always going to but heads, and in the end just comparing apples and oranges.
I think what it will always come down to, is that there is a place for both Consoles and PC in the gaming segment as well as the home entertainment segment.
Thanks for the great comment.
I disagree that the PC *cannot* satisfy what the consoles do (honestly: if the stars align, but they still can)... but you make great points.
The PC vs. Console debate is as bad as the Android vs. iOS debate in the mobile industry. Frankly, I believe that PC gaming is still by far the best, regardless of bugs (brought on by shotty console porting and developers that don't know how to code properly because they don't really care regardless of how they make you perceive it). People are fed BS by publishers and believe it left right and center (can be considered Sheeple / COD Die Hards).
I wouldn't doubt most pc gamers have an android device. Most of the time, perferring to be in control of their experience, moulding it to what they want.
My pc gaming experience: little to no load times (yay 4ssd array in raid 0), higher quality graphics all around (even if I was using my dated HD4890, or even HD3850), ability to be controlled by an exasperated amount of interface devices (including an Xbox 360 controller of all things).
My now extremely dusty desk ornament known as my PS3: other than the 3 or so titles that I actually enjoyed and the embedded Blu-ray player (which I don't even use), I can't be bothered to play on it or spend any more money regarding it or titles for it (even used). The current titles available for it are available on PC and it is much more enjoyable to play them on my pc.
EG: Skyrim (Latest hot topic) - graphics difference by 10x(a little exaggerated) ...even without modifications. What save game loading time waits/slowdowns during play? Even the easily fixed issue of backwards flying dragons with the latest patch (I havent experienced it)... let alone the insane amount of user mods available for it on the PC only (of what I know).
Now other titles which Are awesome: Witcher 2 (yeah, I know, PC only), BF3, Metro 2033, Deus Ex Human Revolution, Rage.... can go further back to Mass Effect 2, AVP (the newest one), DA: Origins (pfft at DAII), Fallout 3, the list goes on...
Other than the glitches caused by developer stupidity in testing and shotty code for the ports, the games are all much more enjoyable on a PC.
The only real argument console users have is the simplicity of plugging it in and generally just playing (even after updates from the disc are installed); they're also probably iOS users with their iPhones - It's a cult following (no offence Allan) just like console users.
Consoles muddle the difference between the excessive simplicity experiences for mouth breathers (as I generally see console gamers staring at the TV breathing through their mouths as they hang open... not in awe) rather than visually encompassing experience for users that demand quality and a truly awe inspiring moment. I wouldn't doubt that most users of gaming consoles also stream excessively garbage versions of bootlegged movies off malware riddled 'underground' websites.
Justification for spending money on my PC is offset by everything else that I use it for, Running my personal business and finances, Android development, Image editing, Video Editing, 3d Rendering, CAD, etc... my $300 PS3 + 3 enjoyed games was a waste of ~$480 in my opinion which I could have spent on something else that I would have made more use out of.
Troller's will now probably flame in regards to my comparisons or generalized opinions (since this is an enthusiast site), but for the general public I have no doubt that some of my comments may as well be very factual.

Guest blogger, GPO Public Relations Specialist Emma Wojtowicz, reviews a new publication giving the "Fast Facts & Figures" about the U.S. Social Security System.
The Federal Government offers many publications to educate and inform the public. If there is a topic that interests you or that you want to learn more about, Government publications are a great resource. Not all publications are long, dense and written as legal briefs.
Fast Facts & Figures About Social Security, 2011 is a 36-page booklet that accomplishes what the title suggests – providing readers with fast facts and figures about Social Security.
Social Security is always a hot topic with election-year fact checkers, and this annual publication does a good job breaking down the information so the reader can understand and better grasp this important topic.
The introduction describes the publication as a "chartbook" which it is with at least one chart, graph, or table on each page. This is a smart way to present the information because it allows the reader to gain a lot of knowledge from just scanning each page.
Like most Government-related publications there are many acronyms that readers are not familiar with, luckily, this publication includes a list of abbreviations and acronyms on the second page which is helpful for understanding the content, such as OASI which stands for Old-Age and Survivors Insurance.
The data focuses on Social Security programs for retired workers and their dependents, disabled workers and their dependents, and survivors of a deceased worker, which benefits or assists over 59.2 million Americans.
Here are some of noteworthy Social Security facts and figures for 2011:
- Of all adults receiving monthly Social Security benefits, 44% are men and 56% are women.
- The recipients of Social Security benefits are 64% retired workers, 15% disabled workers, 12% survivors of decreased workers, and 9% dependents of a retired or disabled worker.
- The average Social Security benefit for a worker who retires at full retirement age is $1,176 per month, and the maximum Social Security benefit a worker who retired at full retirement age can receive is $2,366 per month.
- The average Social Security benefit for the children of a deceased worker is $750 per month.
- Social Security is financed from three sources: 82% from payroll taxes, 15% from interest earned on Government bonds held by trust funds, and 3% from income taxes on Social Security benefits.
- For 73% of single elderly (nonmarried aged) beneficiaries (and 54% of elderly couples receiving benefits) in 2011, Social Security provided at least 50% of their total income. Social Security benefits make up over 90% of the total income for 43% of single elderly recipients (and 22% of elderly couples), making Social Security benefits a critical source of monthly income for them to live on (See image below).

How To Get the Hottest Haircuts of 2013!
Growing tired of your same old hairstyle? Matt Fugate of Sally Hershberger Downtown in NYC shared his favorite celeb cuts of 2013, the best products for each, plus what to ask your stylist for when you go in for the big chop!
By Kara McGrath
Medium: Karlie Kloss
The Cut: The "Karlie"
What to Ask For: To get this model-approved look, ask your stylist for a non-traditional bob, and decide how short you want to go by picking what feature you want to highlight, like your collarbone, shoulders, or jawline. "When you figure out how short you want to go, the next thing you want to tell them is not to layer it like a normal haircut," Matt explains. "Have them do it more freehand. You want it looking a little jagged." This look is especially good for girls with fine hair, like Karlie Kloss, because it makes your locks look thicker!

There were top ten times in Friday's practice for the Indian GP for both McLaren drivers while Daniel Ricciardo missed out in 11th place...
Sergio Perez: "This is a great circuit, with long, fast corners and the longest straight of the season. After today's practice sessions, I'm feeling quite optimistic for the weekend - I'm happy with the balance and I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Nevertheless, we had some issues with the balance of the car during today's session. The Prime tyre is definitely working better for us than the Option, but we didn't really run it with an optimised car set-up, so I'm not too worried. Still, we definitely need to analyse the Option tyre's performance tonight to see how we can improve it. The most important thing is to have good tyres for the race. Overall, I think we're in the same position that we've been in for the last three or four races - so our objective tomorrow will be to have a strong qualifying session and to make it into Q3."
Jenson Button: "We tried a number of different set-ups this morning - but I think our baseline was in the wrong place, so they didn't particularly work around this type of circuit. So we reverted to more of a traditional set-up for the afternoon, and we developed the car over the course of the day, so we're now getting there, despite the setbacks of the morning. In a way that's positive, because it meant that we'd already been getting the best out of the car for the whole year. The tyres will be very interesting this weekend - the Prime tyre seems to last forever, while the Option tyre doesn't! There's a very big difference between the two tyre compounds so I think we'll see some very interesting strategies this weekend."
Toro Rosso:
Daniel Ricciardo: "This morning went okay, even if we were lacking a bit of speed, but we did make progress over the 90 minutes. This enabled us to get closer to the top ten in the afternoon, but there is still a bit of work to do. The tyres come under a lot strain here and everyone seemed to be suffering a bit with graining. Unfortunately, my second session ended a little bit early, as I slid wide at the chicane and as I went over the kerb, it damaged the car and I had to stop. It means I was unable to do a long run test, but I hope we can find time for one tomorrow morning. I still feel the potential is there for me to be in Q3 tomorrow."
Jean-Eric Vergne: "This was a mixed Friday, quite good in the morning, worse in the afternoon. In the first session, I had the right feeling from the car and my times were good. But this afternoon, I lost one second a lap, for reasons that we really don't understand just yet, so getting to the bottom of this situation is our first priority this evening. The tyre situation looks interesting, as I could see plenty of other cars showing signs of tyre graining. I had it too, so this definitely means we can expect a different and maybe more exciting sort of race than we saw last year here."
Force India:
Adrian Sutil: "It has been quite a positive day with a more consistent car than in the previous few races. We made small adjustments, rather than big ones, and I think that was a sensible approach because the balance of the car felt quite good. There's still some room to improve, but I think we have some reasonable pace for tomorrow. We still need to tweak the car a little bit more tonight, but hopefully the work we've done today will allow us to be close to Q3 tomorrow. The main thing is that I'm feeling comfortable in the car."
Paul di Resta: "I think it was a reasonable day. Although I missed FP1, I slowly but surely got the car to a position where I was feeling comfortable. We now need to make some decisions tonight to ensure we take the best way forward with the race in mind. In terms of our performance level, the car seems to be slightly more competitive than we were in Suzuka, which is encouraging."
Valtteri Bottas: "We went through our planned programme in both the morning and afternoon sessions here in India. We tried a lot of different things in terms of aero and mechanical set-up, so we need to assess the data tonight to see what worked best. The driving from my side felt good and I managed to adjust to the track quite quickly. It's a great track and very fun to drive, so I enjoyed the day today. We'll see where we are compared to the others tomorrow and try to do our best."
Pastor Maldonado: "We had a good first session this morning completing all planned runs. FP2 was also quite good as we were working on the car, trying to help the balance and improve the speed. We are not expecting things to be much different to the previous few races. In the race simulation laps, the front-right felt a bit loose, so I stopped the car. The team will now investigate this issue further."

Saratoga Springs Mayor Scott Johnson outlines his vision for the New Year in his State of the City Address. Our Matt Hunter has more on what was discussed and where Saratoga Springs could be going in 2013.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – While he didn't shy away from addressing challenges from the past year or current one, Saratoga Springs Mayor Scott Johnson painted a mostly positive image in his sixth State of the City Address.
"Despite the financial uncertainty still facing our nation and our state, the state of our city remains relatively strong," said the mayor in the early stages of his hour long address.
Citing a 5.5 percent gain sales tax receipts, a 35 percent boost in tourism revenue, a 20 percent rise in homes sold, a strong summer at Saratoga Race Course and no rise in property taxes, the mayor told a City Center crowd of more than 200 that the Spa City is in a good position to maintain its growth. However, he cautioned that the state's three year old property tax cap and a lack of pension reform could stand in the way of progress.
"We were up $1. -million in one year alone with our contribution to the state pension system," Johnson said following his speech. "That is not sustainable."
"It is vital the state tackle the issue of mandate relief now," said Assemblyman Tony Jordan, who now represents Saratoga Springs after district lines were redrawn. "If we don't, we're going leave the taxpayers and all citizens faced with a difficult choice through their local governments."
Looking back on 2012, the mayor applauded voters' second defeat in six years of a plan to overhaul the city's current form of government. Despite opposing those changes, the mayor says he'll appoint a committee to look at charter reform, in particular, the way the city's budget is handled.
"He did mention quite a few of the successes that we had this year, but I do take strong issue with his issues with the budgeting issues of the City of Saratoga Springs," said Michele Madigan, the city's finance commissioner.
As expected, the mayor reaffirmed his support for bringing a casino to Saratoga, should New York legislators and taxpayers vote to legalize casino gambling later this year. It's his belief, shared by the other four city council members, that building one elsewhere but nearby would drastically impact the local tourism and thoroughbred industries.
"Anything that would serve to threaten the survival of horse racing cannot be tolerated," Johnson said.

Celebration planned as Oregon Capitol turns 75
Sep 23, 2013
SALEM — There will be birthday candles for Oregon's state Capitol as a weeklong celebration of the building's 75th birthday begins Saturday, but there won't be any flames — not in a state that has twice lost its government headquarters to fire.
Instead, there will be large light bulbs in the big candles ringing the Oregon Pioneer statue atop the Capitol dome, the Salem Statesman Journal reported.
The current Capitol was dedicated Oct. 1, 1938. It replaced one that burned in 1935. That building replaced one that burned in 1855 after it was open for just 11 days.
The 1855 fire followed years of wrangling over whether to have the seat of government in Oregon City, Corvallis, Eugene or Salem, and the fire renewed the controversy.
The Capitol eventually was rebuilt in Salem, and the completed structure was modeled with a dome similar to the U.S. Capitol's. It opened in 1876.
The current Capitol was designed by Francis Keally with the New York architecture firm Trowbridge & Livingston.
The building was closed for two days in 2008 after a fire on the terrace of the governor's office, but there was no talk of relocating the capital.
The birthday lights atop the Capitol will be up through Oct. 5, and there will be exhibits and activities to mark the occasion.
For those who attend the Oct. 1 birthday ceremony Tuesday afternoon, there will be free cake and cupcakes for the first 600 guests.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals.

Go to the limits of human experience... and beyond. From the fringes of the galaxy to our own backyards, the UFO FILES searches for evidence of life beyond our world. Tracing the long, convoluted history of UFO encounters and research, this unique series opens new windows into the controversial field.
A small town near the U.S. border, Coyame, Mexico is home to three thousand people and possibly the best-kept secret of all-time. In August of 1974, the USA military was tracking a mysterious object over Mexico; then suddenly it disappeared from radar near Coyame. At the same time a civilian plane headed in the opposite direction is reported missing. What follows next is the stuff Hollywood blockbusters are made of: a crash site, a spacecraft, dead bodies, a covert recovery mission, and a government cover-up. Is this the story of the century, or just a piece of Mexican folklore?
