As chief technology officer at the Veterans Affairs Department, Peter Levin leads efforts to modernize health records for veterans, create a joint record system with the Defense Department and tackle a backlog of claims related to Agent Orange exposure among Vietnam era veterans. He has made great strides in all those areas, but one initiative in particular has caught on beyond VA's wildest expectations. Levin was chief architect and co-inventor of Blue Button, an online service that allows veterans to access and download the information from their My HealtheVet personal health records into a text file or PDF, which they can then share with health care providers, other caregivers or loved ones.
When I saw the report in the Washington Post in 2008 on how veterans were being mistreated at Walter Reed hospital, I called Gen. Wesley Clark. He has been a cherished mentor and friend.
I called Gen. Clark at home, and I was railing about it. And I said to him, "Aren't you going to do anything about it?" And he let me go through my rant. And then he said, "Peter, what are you going to do about it?" That was the first step for me that led to joining the VA.
Being a CTO, I'm trying to do what we can in the public sector to use technology, IT, business analytics and data processing to improve health outcomes for 6 million people. The Blue Button started with an idea in the Markle Foundation's Consumer Engagement Work Group. VA did the first implementation and the reference architecture. What makes the Blue Button unique is that it is easy to use and devastatingly effective. More than 700,000 people have used it, including 400,000 veterans.
I came into Blue Button absolutely cold. I was a computer engineer, working in the semi-conductor industry, with big and complicated datasets. But when you get used to thinking in that frame of reference, the Blue Button is not a big leap. At the Markle meeting, I was thinking, "Oh, yeah, we could do that." It was a problem that needed a good solution. People had not realized how simple it could be.
Now the Blue Button has gone viral and is a de facto standard. It is being used for Medicare and Medicaid, and the Office of Personnel Management recently issued a letter so it would apply to all federal employees. It also is being used in the private sector by companies like Aetna, UnitedHealthcare and Microsoft.
Fast Track claims processing for veterans' Agent Orange claims has been fabulous and successful, but I would not call it smooth. The problem is that there had been a natural isolation within VA. In claims processing, insurers know how to do it extremely well. By comparison, the VA was paper-bound, isolated and somewhat moribund in its business processes.
Fast Track is a fully electronic application that is Web-based. We set it up from beginning to end in 90 days. It is for a specific group of service-related disability claims. Thousands of vets have used it, and it has cut processing time about in half.
The [Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture] open-source ecosystem is another initiative that has exceeded our expectations. It is becoming a model of federal software production. It is not the typical government enterprise software process, which is long, arduous and often misses expectations.
The way technology evolves is so much faster now. For civilian systems, if you are using the old procurement style — with requirements, demonstration, testing and prototyping — you will inevitably fail. The open-source ecosystem is a new path.

I tried replacing an old fan with a celing fixture and dimmer switch to an existing circuit. There are three sets of wires coming out of the celing box. There are three black and three white wires with no ground wires. The house is about 90 years old, ergo the lack of grounding wires. In the swith box there is one white and one black. The dimmer has two black wires and the instructions say it doesn't matter which ones the hot or neutral goes to. I had the dimmer switch turned off when I turned the breaker on. The light was fully on. When I pushed the dimmer switch up, there was a loud pop. Nothing tripped, the light stayed on, and I turned the breaker back off. I've already tried a new dimmer switch. I'd appreciate it if someone could give me an idea on what happened and how to correct it. I've tried just about every combination of wire matching that I can think of.

- celing fixture and new dimmer switch that does not work
Sounds like you hooked up your switchleg to the neutral and connected your dimmer in parallel with the circuit. This probably destroyed your dimmer rather than tripping the breaker(or blow fuse). The dimmer is supposed to be hooked up in series with the lights hot wire. To do this find the two wires running down to the switch. One will likely be black and one white, this white is not a neutral it will be a hot going to the switch, and the black will become the hot coming from the switch. You can find these wires by (first turn off the circuit) twisting the two wires together in the switch box, then checking the pairs of wires in the ceiling box for continuity with an ohmmeter. Once you are sure of which pair is the switchleg, connect the two other blacks in the box with the white going to the switch. Then the black coming from the switch will connect to the black of the light and the remaining white wires will be your neutrals they will need to be pigtailed to the white of the light. A good tip is to use some black electric tape on the white that goes to the switch so you will know it is really a hot wire. Always try to terminate wires in this order: 1. all ground wires 2. all neutral wires 3. all hot wires. This is an unwritten code amongst all electricians, it helps to ensure that the electricity has a path to ground other than you if for some unforseen reason the circuit is hot. Good Luck I hope this helped.

depression glass? 2
cityapartSeptember 15, 2012
I got a couple of etched glass plates that I like very much but I am not sure if they are depression glass or not.
Can anyone identify the pattern if this happens to be depression? I can only post one photo so I will do another posting for the other plate.
Are you sure that is etched? I can not tell from the photo, but the pattern seems deep enough to be molded glass.

Before the movie (Road to Morocco), a gal spoke approx. 20 min. about the movie & the 3 main characters etc - it reminded me of watching a movie at home on TCM channel. Very interesting and she answered questions at the end. It was great!
It is hard to find movies that are funny and wholesome. My children (2 1/2 and 9 yr old twins) favorite movie is Road to Morocco. They love Bob Hope movies and this a treat for us to watch on the big screen.

The ear is an organ from the auditory system that collects sounds, and also balances and enables body position. Formation and Orientation The ear can be broken down into the inner and outer ears. The outer part of the ear is the visible flap (auricle) and ear canal which collects sounds which create pressure that echoes through the middle ear. The inner ear, however, is embedded in the temporal bone. There are hollow areas of the inner ear that are filled with liquids and hair cells...

Phoenix Suns
Suns' Jermaine O'Neal putting family first
Jermaine O'Neal has often referred to his teammates as "family."
Well, right now, his immediate family needs him more.
O'Neal left the Suns Tuesday after practice to catch a flight to Boston, where his 13-year-old daughter is awaiting heart surgery.
"Family is the most important thing," interim head coach Lindsey Hunter said. "It puts everything in perspective when you see your daughter going through what his daughter is going through."
O'Neal's daughter, Asjia, has a leaky valve that needs to be fixed.
For Hunter, there was never any question whether or not O'Neal would be by his daughter's side.
"That's first priority," Hunter said. "Our prayers are with him. We hope that everything works out."
The surgery is Wednesday, the same day O'Neal's teammates are to play the Toronto Raptors.
The Suns have won three straight games, largely due to the play of the 34-year-old veteran center who has spent half his life in the NBA.
"He's done everything that we've asked him to do," Hunter said. "He's helping mentor the young guys as well as producing on the floor. When you can get a veteran like that it makes our job a little easier, makes his career feel a little more fulfilling and maybe he'll play more. You don't know. It looks like he can."
O'Neal is averaging nearly 15 points (14.7) and better than ten rebounds (10.3) during this current run. Twice he's recorded double-doubles, including 22 points and 13 rebounds at San Antonio, one of the more impressive wins of the season.
O'Neal is expected to miss the next two, and most likely three, games before rejoining the team.
The Suns have told him to take as much time as he needs.
"We'll just play it by ear," Hunter said. "Let him handle his family."

While some people shopped early on Black Friday at the Providence Place Mall, others combed coat racks across the street on the Statehouse lawn. The 18th annual "Buy Nothing Winter Coat Exchange" collected hundreds of coats across 11 different sites for people in need.
It was a busy intersection on the Statehouse lawn, as people lined up with their cars to drop off bags of coats. Joyce Melton of Warwick was one of those coat donors.
Thousands of bridge players are skipping the turkey and shuffling their cards Thursday. More than 5,000 thousand bridge players are in Providence competing in the North American Bridge Championships.
When you sit down at Thanksgiving table today, you might not give much thought to where the turkey comes from. But an interest in buying local is helping area farms.
Amos House, a social service center in Providence, hosts the largest regular soup kitchen in the state. On Wednesday, the center's meal will serve turkey and all the trimmings to between 500 and 700.
It's a tradition at Amos House, to serve the turkey, potatoes, cranberry all on the day before the holiday. That's because, other places will offer the Thanksgiving meal on the actual day, so Amos House decided why not give the needy a nutritious meal the day before?
Thanksgiving travelers are in for a messy drive Wednesday. A winter storm advisory has been issued for the state, as a storm moving up from the south is expected to dump snow and rain on the Ocean State. National Weather service meteorologist Alan Dunham said if you can hit the road today, you'll be better off. The entire state will see rain and snow, about 1-2 inches, but the northern region will see even more.
In late August, the power was shut off at the River United Methodist Church. The church, in the heart of downtown Woonsocket, was about a thousand bucks in arrears on its electric bill. The guy from National Grid apologized for doing what he had to do.
Church members, who specialize in doing a whole lot with very little, scrambled to do what they always do. They took food from freezers and refrigerators and headed to a nearby park to feed hungry people.
The Indian Summer season dwindles, the afternoon light fades into darkness and a coating of frost covers the morning pumpkins. The evening chills sends us back into the closets for the heavier coats we will soon be wearing.
The coming of a New England winter reminds once again that poor Rhode Islanders face a tougher time that the better-off. So once again it is time for us to search those closets for old winter coats to donate to the annual Rhode Island Buy Nothing Day Winter Coat Exchange.
Five hundred Pawtucket families are enjoying a home-cooked Thanksgiving dinner Thursday thanks to the generosity of their neighbors.
On Tuesday, food baskets were delivered to needy families under the auspices of the Pawtucket Holiday Baskets Drive. Its chair, Laureen Grebien, the city's first lady, said the typical recipient is a family that has fallen on hard times.
"It's probably a family of two or three kids and somebody that, you know, is struggling with whether they got laid off or they just somehow can't seem to make ends meet," said Grebien.
A window into just how relentless campaign fund-raising has become: Democrat Gina Raimondo's latest email wishing Rhode Islanders a Happy Thanksgiving.
The Internet missive contains a photo of the state treasurer with her husband Andy and children Tommy and Ceci. ``At Thanksgiving…I think about everything we are grateful for. We live in an amazing state with so much potential, we are surrounded by family and friends who care about us, and living up to our Italian traditions, we are preparing and eating way too much food.''
The all-important holiday shopping season is upon us. November and December sales are make or break months for retailers, representing as much as 20 percent of total annual sales.
The National Retail Federation is forecasting a nearly four percent increase in holiday sales this year. But local retail officials are taking a more cautious approach. Paul DeRoche heads the Rhode Island Retail Federation.

Great question. What we will do is take a look at what you owe on the house and then take a look at comparable houses that have sold. With the systems I have I regularly sell houses in less than 90 days, and I always get the seller what they can work with when we take in a contract on your house. I will sit down with you to show you what I believe we can get for your house, and then when it comes time when we get the offer, I will show you just what you should receive at closing.
Please give me a call at 615-948-4098 with your questions and I will be happy to help you. You can also see how we market our homes and get more information on us by going to http://www.callgeorgeweeks.com We hope to hear from you soon!

1. Determine how much money you need for your new house. Be sure to include Down Payment and Closing Costs.
2. Determine the value of your current house. If you have an offer then use that price. If not, then figure out the value of your current house really worth (i.e. based on actual sale comps)?
3. If you have an offer then subtract your actual sale costs. If not, subtract about 9% from the answer to #1 to cover real estate commissions, sale costs and some buyer closing cost assistance (it is very common for sellers to pay for some buyer closing costs).
4. The difference between #2 and #3 is your approximate Net Sale Proceeds.
5. Subtract your mortgage payoff (your principal balance plus accrued interest- get from your mortgage lender) from your Net Sale Proceeds. This is your Walk Away Money from the sale of your current house.
6. Subtract the amount you determined in #1 from your Walk Away Money. If you have money left over then you can drop your sale price of your current house by approximately that amount. If you are short of the needed amount for your new house then you will need to add that amount back to the sale price of the current house and recalculate until you have exactly nothing left over from the Walk Away Money.
Hope this helps!

What are you direct sowing in the ground right now?
I'm going to go out right after type this and direct sow some spinach and lettuce and put a double layer of frost blanket covering over it.
I usually have spinach coming up really early so that we're enjoying by the end of April or early May but this year it didn't come up in the raised bed. I see a few patches of spinach growing on the ground NEXT to the raised bed intermixed with weeds. Maybe I spilled some seed?
My parsley and cilantro are starting to sprout. I haven't put out any new seed in my parsley patch for a few years now.
What are you planting out now? I know Skybird starts peas and sweet pea seed out in the garden early.
Just wondering if now is too early? Maybe with some protection?
Major case of spring fever!!
I direct sowed some onions a couple of weeks ago, but they aren't up yet. Had planned to sow carrots this weekend, but have been too busy, and it's been too cold and windy anyway. Maybe I'll get to it one day this week. Radishes will be sown in the next couple of weeks as well. Lettuces and peas were wintersown, and are up now. Not sure when I'll plant them out though.
In the raised beds --
Strawberries "Fort Laramie" and "Eversweet" (bundled roots, planted and covered with a layer of protective mulch)
Asparagus "Jersey Giant" (bundled roots, planted in 6 inch trenches with row cover)
Brussels sprouts "Jade Cross E" (transplants, also with row cover)
Shallots, onions and radish seeds might go directly in during the upcoming week, as well.
Charlene, my planting has been put on hold up here. Linked below is that soil temperature map that I drag out regularly. During the warm spell we had a week or 2 ago, I measured the temperature in the most protected area of my yard. At 2", it was 41°F.
You can see from the chart that nothing will germinate, or nothing will germinate in less than 2 weeks at that temperature. Average daily temperature has been lower than 41° since last Sunday, so . . . ¿aanh?.
I don't think there was any harm in my planting of onion sets and plants, shallots, and spinach seed about 2 weeks ago. I put in the potatoes a few days later.
If I was to follow Golden Harvest Organics "Nature's Signs" page -- I would be planting peas right now: "When the daffodils begin to bloom it is time to plant peas. . . When the common lilac plant has leafed out plant lettuce, peas and other cool weather varieties. . . When you hear spring peepers (a type of frog), itÂs time to plant peas." (Well, if I have to wait for the last one, I'm afraid that the peas would never be planted. ;o)
Still, I'll plant only the smooth-seeded peas 1st and use my own "sign" (flowering of the Oregon Grape) before I'm willing to put any of the wrinkled guys in the ground.
Lettuce and Asian greens are up and growing in my plastic tunnel. I even had some already going in the greenhouse and they have been moved out into the tunnel. Soon, I'll have flats of these things to transplant out into the open garden. Probably, I should sow some radish seeds outdoors or my first spring salads will be all green . . .
Here is a link that might be useful: Days to Germination - Soil Temperature (°F)
Here, local lore has it that ya plant peas on Good Friday. I didn't, because I'm still giving my garden a 'make over' with new raised beds, tummy tuck, and hair implants. but it isn't easy because the ground is still too wet, and the soil doesn't till very well and it's heavy.
Plan here is to till 4 foot wide the pathways, pull that soil up onto the 4 foot wide beds.
The MIL wanted me to keep a seed badada & plant on Good Friday, because goldurnit that's when they go in. My soil was ready two weeks ago and the nights aren't too cold any more hereabouts.
Some of my carrots can go in now, others want to wait until last frost...
Got carrots, lettuce, radish, beets, spinach and will have peas (snap and sugar) planted before I go to bed tonight. Oh, and onion sets.
Next weekend (and would have been yesterday, if not for the cold wind): potatoes & shallots. I have some onion seeds on order--gonna try cipollinis this year, but it may already be too late. We're trying to figure out how to do the potatoes--there's no "in-ground" in our garden, so we're examining container options. Possibly a lasagna potato garden, but it's over by the dog run (as in... doggie doo in the near vicinity, but still "downhill" from the lasagna patch) where we usually do sunflowers for the birds and a humongous hollyhock compliments of greenbean at last year's swap. Still, it's probably the best soil for taters--nice and soft and "composty." What do you all think? Not as deep, so maybe not as much frost protection, either...
so far, the arugula, parsley,some herbs are up. Planted this spring(?) Ft Laramie strawberries, lettuce, poppies, chamomile,and wheat are in. planning soon, peas and broccoli. Mayberrygardener I hear a great way to do potatoes is in a barrel. Put soil, straw in add starts then as they come up add more cover to keep the potatoes from turning green.Gloria
I have spinach in from last year coming up and tasting fabulous. My Fort Laramie and Guinaualt strawberries are well. Lots of raspberry shoots coming up. It's still too cold to start seeds in the greenhouse since recorded temperatures for the last week out there have gotten down to and some nights have briefly dipped below freezing. We're at 7300 feet.
I will try my hand at putting potatoes in a couple of old tires. Not sure what I'm doing there but will give it a try. I've heard planting potatoes in tires helps keep them warm enough to survive a frost. I'll be direct sowing peas here soon and covering them with 2 liter bottles to help keep them warm.
I've given up on the potatoes in container thing. Apparently I don't have the knack for it, altho from some of the pix on other forums on this website, there are folks that have figgered it out and get decent yields. I have ~24sf in the raised bed in potatoes now & repurposed the container soil into the landscape beds where the sunflowers go.
I've got a bumper crop of the Evergreen bunching onions back, but they still need 'something' to get them crunchy again. Not much else, outside the greenhouse.
I may have related my tale of trying container potatoes - long story short, I had my neighbor, a guy who used to raise potatoes commercially, visiting and decided to tip the 30 gal container over, since it had foliage on top for 3 or 4 months. Got maybe a quart of marble sized potatoes.
Needless to say, my neighbor enjoyed this.
In the last few days I've put quite a few peas into the ground. They're going into a new area on the southside of the house. Not sure how they'll do there time will tell. 2 rows are still in shade from the fence. I think they'll be fine there but it'll be a couple years before the soil is improved over there. I also put peas in the ground about 3 weeks ago and they seem to be doing well.
Yesterday in went beets, mustard greens, Amish lettuce and endive. First time I'm growing beets :-)
Then in my pathways I've planted dutch white clover (about 2 weeks ago) and alfalfa yesterday. Not sure how that's going to work out with foot and wheelbarrow traffic. The clover is coming up fast. I also want to plant some sort of grass in the pathways but haven't found any yet or maybe plant something else.
A few flower seeds went in today also Hollyhocks and Moss Rose into an raised "herb spiral". It very well may wind up being a flower spiral. :-)
I planted peas a few weeks ago and tossed out columbines as I winter sowed them.
Soon, I'll direct sow:
CA poppy
annual poppy
peony poppy
morning glory
4 O Clocks
Then, the issue will be how to keep from disturbing the above seeds when I plant the winter sown perennials.
Happy Gardening ALL

Is this the worst MMO launch of 2012?
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
I logged on right when the servers went up, had the usual high lag and disconnects for about 30-45 minutes (human starting zone was packed), then played for several hours. Woke up this morning, apparently missed the couple hours of server issues, but even with that and some of the lingering issues, this is one of the better launches I've seen. Doesn't anyone remember how these things go?
The number of people on is significantly higher than any stress test they've had, this shouldn't be entirely unexpected.
City Dynamic Events?
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
Cities contain the personal story instances. Outside of that, there aren't any dynamic events. However, there are minigames, vendors, crafting, banks, vistas, etc. and I wouldn't be surprised if special events and holiday stuff happened there.

Holy moly, how fast is your internet? If you really downloaded 11GB in 30 minutes, you've got at least a 50mbit connection, which just makes me feel all sad.
That said, it should hopefully still only take me around 4 hours to get everything at top speed.

What are zones?
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
A zone is simply an area that you load into in a game. Generally when people refer to "zoneless", they mean that you can walk around the world without loading screens, though technically any game can have distinct areas that they call zones even without loading screens.

UO before the split. I was exploring the game, seeing what I could actually do. The only skill I had up to a usable level was hiding, and even that was only decent enough to hide *most* of the time. Basically an early survival technique for anyone leaving town.
I came across a field of houses, and just out of curiosity started clicking on some of the doors. Most of them were locked, but one of the larger houses with a double door actually had left the less commonly used side of the door unlocked. If I remember correctly, clicking on the set of doors would normally open the right side... but my memory on that is hazy. So, like any curious and greedy adventurer, I popped inside to take a look... lo and behold, there are dozens of containers accessible everywhere with tons of loot inside. I started scooping things up, ran back to town and threw them in the bank, then returned several more times. On the third or so trip, I was standing in the house and saw a name pop up on the side of the screen, so I immediately hid. Turned out to be the owner of the house. He came inside, walked around swapping out some of his inventory with supplies. Meanwhile I'm getting a surge of adrenaline because I'm hidden quite literally in the middle of the upstairs room, and if someone walks through you while invisible, it makes it pretty obvious that you're there.
A few minutes later, and the guy comes upstairs. He's still digging through various boxes... meanwhile I'm assuming that he noticed some stuff missing and is getting suspicious. He walks toward me, then turns. Walks to another box, narrow miss. Came as close to me as possible without revealing my location, then pulled out a rune (or whatever the travel items were) and disappears. I breathed a sigh of relief, then looted the house dry.
The rest of my time in UO was a bit more tame, learning skills and combat. After the terror of almost being caught by someone who could completely destroy me (and at the time, I believed my in-game reputation was at stake too), I was hooked. Never found quite the same treasure trove again, but I always checked left doors just in case.
Wandering Mobs (Non-Instanced)
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
True, and I know in the early days of WoW (again, no idea if this still happens), mobs would actually spawn inside trees and rocks even for the simplistic version. However, it would be fairly straight-forward to keep a copy of just the terrain and static object collision data on the server so that it knows valid areas for spawning with practically zero added calculation. Or even simplified valid spawn regions if the designers wanted to mark them all out. The collision data theoretically should exist anyway to verify server-side that people aren't cheating and to allow proper mob path-finding, but I know a lot of developers skip that step to reduce processing and make gameplay smoother at the expense of opening themselves to speed and wall hacks.
how many of us vets are still around? just wondering.

Wandering Mobs (Non-Instanced)
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
Mob AI has nothing to do with client size. Mob movement is controlled by the server and the position (not the AI code) is sent to the client. However, increasing AI processing for each mob would have an effect on how much the server has to chug along to keep everything working. It could be mitigated somewhat by smart disabling or reduction of an AI not in range of any players and cleverly designed decision algorithms, but any increase in processing must be multiplied by the total number of mobs that would be active at any given time.
Random respawn is possible and quite easy. The server could simply pick a random spot and spawn the critter there. The client doesn't need any info other than "MOB ID#whatever IS NOW AT (x,y,z)." The reason mobs return to their previous location is entirely due to the AI algorithm coded into the game. To keep things simple, they design the mobs to wander in a very specific area or path, and simply return to that once they've left a certain range. This was added to newer games partly to avoid the 'training' of mobs that occurred in older games (including some mobs which I think are still possible to pull into cities in WoW if they haven't changed it).

Added? I thought that was in at release? I only played for a month or two at launch and I've been in there.
"Tiered leveling" with varying difficulty. Would it work?
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
Although I'm not a huge fan of having to get to level X before the game changes into something you want to play, I do like the "permadeath" concept where it resets you to a specific high level. You still keep a lot of your necessary base skills to play the game, but the bonus stuff for not dying has to be re-earned. No idea if it would really work in practice though.
Why do developers not put more effort into their login systems?
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
Aye, and on top of that the SSN will be sitting in their (likely less-than-secure) database. Instead of losing a CC# that you can cancel, you could lose the one number that makes it super easy to steal your identity.
Why do developers not put more effort into their login systems?
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
Out of curiousity, why would you want ANY of these? What's wrong with a username and a password? These things are unlikely to put a dent in gold spam of any sort, so you're only hurting legitimate customers.
How long?
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
That's an odd question, isn't the only game like that at all right now Fusion Fall? To be honest, I'm not sure they'll ever be dominate. What will probably happen is companies will develop their own partially-streaming clients for their MMOs so that it's a small initial download with the basic resources and streams data and updates in the background. Stuff based on a browser plugin is much harder to mod, so if they wanted anything like the mods for WoW it would be much easier to have their own client. In addition, there are some restrictions to what the client could do because of security issues with the browsers (though these may not be a factor in the actual game client, I don't know).
For a small-time indie-scale MMO (with obviously a lower customer target), things like Unity may actually be pretty good though, as they allow more rapid development for people without full-blown teams.
The time it takes to wait for a good mmo, we could take that time and put our heads together

And all this time I've been grinding up kittens like a fool...
Why is EVEs playerbase expanding while other MMOs population decline?
Jita (General) « EVE Online
EVE keeps growing because the entire game IS end-game. Most of the latest MMOs have been following the WoW-style quest oriented (and level-based) system. That can be a lot of fun if done right, but you will run out of content at some point. Since those games focus entirely on the created content, there's essentially very little else to do. Arena and PvP in WoW are probably the most sustainable activities long term, but even those are fairly limited. Additionally, while you can make a name for yourself on one server, most modern MMOs have multiple servers and you are likely completely unknown on the others.
On the other end of the spectrum is EVE. Aside from the mission stories (which aren't generally that in-depth), everything is up to the player. In fact, this tends to be one of the major problems for some new people... too much to do with little overt indication that it can actually be done. You can decide whether you want to run missions (boring IMHO, but good money), mine (also boring IMHO), scan for exploration sites, scan for ships running missions to steal their crap, haul valuable stuff through potentially dangerous territories, find people to shoot at, go on a low or null sec adventure, manufacture stuff, trade on the market (sometimes more interesting than it sounds), scam people (boo!), find wormholes to unknown space or the other side of the galaxy, fight corp wars, faction warfare, etc.
There's tons to add to that if you join a good corp or get established in null sec space. Additionally, many of those things have a lot of depth and complexity when you start focusing in on them. For instance, you could be part of a small mercenary corp. If you happen to know more about locator agents, good ship builds, sneaky tactics, basic scanning, and just plain playing it smart, you can trounce a well established corp in a war. And have a blast doing it.
The game is doing well because it frees you up to do whatever you want. Expanding the content is easy too... since it's in space, they can add physical locations easily. New items and ship-types mean new opportunities at all levels - component gathering or mining, manufacturing, new tactics for pilots. I could probably go on for awhile, but I'll stop here. :)
EDIT: Eesh, all that and I somehow didn't even mention the whole "real danger" aspect. You get blown up, you lose a ship and its equipment. It effects several areas of the game, and makes the economy work quite well since there is constant demand for various components and ships. Even if that sounds scary, it's really not bad once you get used to it. You have to weigh the risks in any given activity and decide if you can afford it. Makes things seem a little more substantial and purposeful.
What would happen in Eve if you..........
Jita (General) « EVE Online
Based on some silly experimenting with the new probing system I did the other day, I'd say the systems are pretty much infinite for all intents and purposes. I never hit a wall with where my probes could warp to, and they were WAAAAAY the heck out there. Although after a certain distance I did start hitting some floating point inaccuracies as the probe displays were hopping around eratically within a small space... so you'd probably start to see weird effects (after the millenia of realtime flight it took you to get there).
EDIT: As for the technical side - with a system like eve's, there's no reason to implement invisible walls. Each system has (x,y,z) coordinates for everything, and the objects that are displayed to you are anything within a set amount of distance. It's easy to split out the network data for efficiency so that's not a concern, and there's nothing like terrain that you need to prevent players from hitting the edge of.
Still missing a lot
Jita (General) « EVE Online
The skill queue isn't intended to let you automate months of training. As long as a skill starts within 24 hours, it can be as long as you want. The whole point is to allow you to set your next training skill even if the current one ends at an inconvenient time.
Walking in stations is supposedly still under development, but I suspect that if it ever sees the light of day it's going to be one of those features that's cool for a few minutes but otherwise pointless.

I am an American art student studying abroad in England. In January 2012 I am traveling with my boyfriend to major arts cities in Europe, very excited to do so!
I am a painter and quilter, while i've been abroad I've mostly embroidered, which i guess is sort of like painting and sort of like quilting. My work is about optimism and doo-wop music.
as a guest i am of course very respectful of host's rules and expectations. I can be friendly or stay scarce, always glad to gain a friend of course. while traveling i try to take advantage of museums and galleries, local food, and tourist landmarks. i love tourist landmarks, my favorite thing about them is when a group or family or couple ask you to take their vacation photos on their cameras. It's hard to take a bad picture of happy people in front of a beautiful place.
my life motto is "enjoy every sandwich"

IOC President Asks World Leaders To Stop Using Games For Political Gain
Published February 5, 2014
NO PLATFORM: REUTERS' Philip O'Connor wrote former Olympic champion and mayor of the mountain Olympic Village Svetlana Zhurova "has appealed to protesters not to use the Games as a platform to protest about gay rights in Russia." Zhurova, who won Gold in the 500m speed skating event at the 2006 Turin Games, said, "I have never seen (this) at any Olympic Games and I would call on the people who are going to protest, that it doesn't make sense." Zhurova said that "sexuality was irrelevant in the context of competition, and that gay and straight athletes would be treated equally" (REUTERS, 2/4). The SYDNEY MORNING HERALD reported Bach was asked "if the Olympic Charter needed revising in light of the controversial Russian anti-gay law that criminalises the promotion of 'non-traditional relations.''' He said that was "likely to be discussed in future meetings of IOC delegates." Bach: "The Olympic Charter is not set in stone. Of course we have to evolve and adapt to modern times" (SMH, 2/5).

Chico Hot Springs
VTmember PA2AKgirl told me about this wonderful place when I told her I was headed to Yellowstone.
Just about a half hour north of Gardiner, Chico Hotsprings is a lovely hotel, resturant and spa hidden away in the hills. We visited on a Saturday and were foolish enough not to have made spa reservations. (what were we thinking!!!???) Since we couldn't have a spa treatment, we decided to buy the $6 pass for use of the hotspring fed pool and to wander around the grounds. The pool is lovely. No clorine just water from the springs. There is a smaller section of the pool that is considerably warmer. It's quite shallow in this section you can sit on the bottom and your head will still be above water. The larger section is slighly cooler, but much deeper. You can get drinks from the bar through a little window by the pool, towels are also available in the bar, if you don't have your own. We spent a lovely afternoon paddling around. It was nice to take a break from exploring.
The grounds also have a greenhouse and garden. Look for the passionflowers, they are gorgeous! One of the gardeners told us that they use them to decorate the desserts at the resturant. There are also horse stables, a coffe bar, a gift shop and a very highly rated resturant.
When we were there, preparations were being made for an afternoon wedding. What a lovely spot!
