"In the world of online advertising, more relevance translates to better results", said Andrew Young, President and CEO of Core and More Technologies. "The term 'relevance' is not one-dimensional", Young continued, "It is a combined, concentrated and integrated message that is nurtured and revised as consumers traverse through their purchasing process. Enhanced campaigns will enable us to further refine the goal of placing advertisements in just the right place, at just the right time and with just the right message - leveraging the latest, most cutting-edge technology for multi-device targeting, more efficient bidding, and highly accurate contextual messaging."
Display advertising through the Google Display Network enables advertisers to reach 92% of internet users in the U.S. today. When combined with enhanced campaigns, advertising content can be closely aligned with tens of millions of internet users who have already expressed an interest in the products or services being promoted. Typically, the display network enables advertisers to reach consumers early on in the procurement process. This is nothing new. However, with enhanced campaigns it is now possible to specifically target users across multiple devices and to assign a priority on one device over another. If this concept is applied correct

LIMA Ś Allen-Lima Youth Leadership students learned some good lessons Friday.
Give detailed directions to the elderly; try not to make a Baby Boomer feel old; and never described a Generation Xer as a slacker.
FridayÆs all-day session on diversity went beyond just black and white, but also looked at generational differences.
ōGenerational issues have existed for years,ö Jon Horn, executive director of workforce and economic development at Rhodes State College, told students after quoting a SocratesÆ rant on all the things wrong with children and teens.
Horn advised how students can better communicate with those outside of their own Y Generation. Understand others in the context of generational differences, he told them.
ōCommit to action you can take to strengthen your relationships,ö he said. ōA lot of times it just takes thought.ö
Shared experiences help define generations, Horn said, WWII and the Great Depression for the ōVeterans Generation,ö The Vietnam War and Woodstock for the Baby Boomers and Watergate and the Challenger explosion for Generation X.
Generation Y, students agreed, are connected by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and technology.
ōUse text messaging as a means to send information,ö Horn said of how to communicate with the young generation.
The four generations arenÆt always different. Horn described a similar sense of civic duty and other characteristics for both the oldest and youngest generations. ItÆs caused by similar experiences, Horn said, World War II and the terrorist attacks both building more civic minded perspectives.
Generational differences, Horn said, arenÆt the sole cause of all communication problems between people.
ōIt goes right back to personality,ö he said. ōWhat will I need to do to get along with this person? Generation might play into that. Racial diversity might play into that. But a lot of the time, it is just you and that person.ö

Tyndall National Institute
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2014)
|This article relies too much on references to primary sources. (February 2009)
Tyndall National Institute at UCC in Cork, Ireland named for John Tyndall, scientist, is one of Europe's leading research centres, specialising in ICT hardware research, commercialisation of technology and the education of next generation researchers. Tyndall has over 450 researchers, engineers, students and support staff focused on research and the commercialisation of technology through industry collaboration. Tyndall's research spans a range of technologies from atoms to systems in the areas of photonics, microsystems and micro-nanoelectronics and addresses key challenges in the areas of Communications, Energy, Health and the Environment. Queen Elizabeth II visited the research centre as part of her state visit to Ireland on 20 May 2011.
Training Programme[edit]
Tyndall has focused its training programme to provide highly employable graduates, while simultaneously allowing a better understanding of the European research community and priority research and development goals driven by end-user requirements. Several of Tyndall graduates have moved to pursue successful careers (up to Vice President level) in leading manufacturing companies including Intel, Qualcomm, Lam Research, Analog Devices, Seagate.
Students in advanced manufacturing will join the more than 130 doctoral students at Tyndall engaged in multi-disciplinary research; this diverse and vibrant student community is recruited from undergraduate backgrounds in engineering, physics, chemistry and the life sciences. In fact one of the greatest flexibilities of the training programme is that it allows for a student in an aligned disciplined to develop 'conversion' training that rapidly introduces them to the world of convergent technologies at the interface between disciplines, while exposing them to design and application goals. At Tyndall, over 45 academic and research staff directly engage as primary PhD supervisors.
Technical modules can be selected from the local curriculum for the structured PhD (Engineering Science) offered by University College Cork. Additionally, students may avail of all relevant expertise available nationally through the provision of modules provided by leading national experts delivered through two graduate research programmes comprising both national and international leading 4th level institutions. The two programmes are the International Centre for Graduate Education in micro- & nano-Engineering (ICGEE) and INSPIRE Graduate Education programme whose combined Irish membership is made up of nine higher education institutions comprising University College Cork, Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, Cork Institute of Technology, National University of Ireland Galway, Dublin City University, Dublin Institute of Technology, University of Limerick, and Athlone Institute of Technology. Modules from these partners are made available to scholars through a national agreement for the accreditation of graduate modules enabled by the Irish Universities Association. These modules are hosted on a virtual learning environment and delivered on a 'what make sense' basis, e.g. as one week intensive on-site delivery, as interactive video conference offerings, networked interactive lecture offerings, or down-loadable lecture modules plus interactive problem solving sessions with the lecturers.
In addition to technical modules, each candidate is provided with options for training in innovation, commercialisation and entrepreneurship, offered by the UCC faculty of College of Business and Law. Transferable skills training in presentation and lecturing skills, report and scientific writing, electronic literacy skills for on-line scientific literature and patent backgrounds, as well as scientific outreach and communication are also part of the curriculum.
The research centres are backed by a theory, modelling and design centre and a wafer fabrication facility with CMOS, III-V and MEMS capability. Many of Tyndall's PhD graduates go on to pursue careers in industry and are respected for the quality of their research and development outputs. Tyndall is supported by funding from the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Science Foundation Ireland, Enterprise Ireland and the Higher Education Authority. The CEO of Tyndall is Dr. Kieran Drain.
Established with a mission to support industry and academia in driving research to market, Tyndall National Institute is one of Europe's leading research centres in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) research and development and the largest research facility of its type in Ireland. Established in 2004 as a successor to the National Microelectronics Research Centre (NMRC founded in 1982) at University College Cork, the Institute hosts over 460 researchers, engineers and support staff, including a full-time postgraduate cohort of 135 students, generating over 200 peer-reviewed publications each year.
With a network of over 200 industry partners and customers worldwide, Tyndall generates around 30M income each year, 85% from competitively won contracts nationally and internationally. Tyndall is also a lead partner in European research programmes in its core areas of ICT, communications, energy, health and the environment worth 44M, including 6M accruing to industry in Ireland (from Framework 7). Hosting the only full CMOS, Micro-Electronic-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and III-V Wafer Semiconductor fabrication facilities and services in Ireland, Tyndall is capable of prototyping new product opportunities for its target industries - electronics, medical devices, energy and communications. Tyndall is a globally leading Institute in its four core research areas of Photonics, Microsystems, Micro/Nanoelectronics and Theory Modelling & Design. Tyndall is the lead institution for the Science Foundation Ireland funded Irish Photonics Integration Centre (IPIC).[1]

PAL eyes 100 new planes to beef up fleet
Carrier to mount flights to Europe, East Coast
popular .
Philippine Airlines plans to acquire up to 100 new aircraft over the next five years, marking its most aggressive refleeting effort since the mid-1990s, according to the flag carrier's new president.
In an interview with the Inquirer, newly appointed PAL president Ramon Ang said the new aircraft would come in the form of regional single-aisle planes like the Airbus A320 and it's higher capacity variant, the A321, as well as longer range wide-body jets.
"These 100 aircraft will include the ones we will buy to replace the old ones we have in our fleet now," Ang said.
He declined to give an estimate of how much the new fleet would cost the airline, since pricing with aircraft makers are often subject to negotiations.
In particular, Ang said he would want to do more business with US plane maker Boeing, which only has seven aircraft in PAL's present 37-plane fleet.
Most of PAL's wide-body jets, like the Boeing 747-400 and the Airbus A340-300, were acquired in 1994, long before the flag carrier slipped into financial trouble.
The bulk of recent acquisitions came in the form of short-haul A320s.
The massive refleeting effort would be funded by San Miguel's recent infusion of $500 million in the airline, plus a fresh $500 million in the "near future," from San Miguel and the Lucio Tan group.
Each company will raise $250 million.
"I believe Mr. Tan would want to maintain his present equity position in PAL," Ang said.
Ang, who also heads conglomerate San Miguel Corp. which acquired a 49-percent stake in PAL along with management control recently, said that the airline's new fleet would allow it to resume flights to Europe, the Middle East, as well as the East Coast of the United States.
"We want to fly to New York, Chicago and Florida, on top of our present routes to Los Angeles and San Francisco," he said, explaining that these US cities have large Filipino-American communities that would be a rich market for PAL.
He added that PAL would also like to fly to London, Rome, Paris, as well as Madrid.
Ang pointed out, however, that PAL's expansion plans would hinge on the government's ability to restore the country to "Category 1" status with the US Federal Aviation Administration. The US agency downgraded the Philippines' status to Category 2 some years ago due to concerns about the local regulator's ability to enforce safety standards.
Because of this, PAL has been unable to replace the aging B747 aircraft on its lucrative trans-Pacific routes with more fuel-efficient B777 twin-engined wide-body jets, of which it has two in its fleet.
"So PAL will use its resources to help the government regain Category 1 status," Ang said. "We will help the Civil Aviation Administration of the Philippines where we can."
With the planned refleeting and the restoration of the Category 1 status, the PAL chief said the airline would have no problem in regaining market share that was lost to budget airlines in recent years, as well as boosting revenues and earnings.

One of Disney's most beloved and enduringly popular animated features comes to vivid life thanks to director John Hughes, animatronics from Jim Henson's Creature Workshop and some computer generated graphics. This new version is set… More One of Disney's most beloved and enduringly popular animated features comes to vivid life thanks to director John Hughes, animatronics from Jim Henson's Creature Workshop and some computer generated graphics. This new version is set in contemporary London and begins as frustrated computer game designer Roger (Jeff Daniels) hops on his bike and takes his dalmatian Pongo for a run to the park. There Pongo sees the glorious lady dalmatian Perdy and falls instantly in love. When her owner Anita (Joely Richardson), a fashion designer at the house of deVil -- Cruella deVil (marvelously played by Glenn Close) that is -- mounts her own bike and rides away, Pongo sets off in hot pursuit leading poor Roger on a riotous, hair-raising chase that leaves him floundering in a duck pond with a ruined bicycle. When Perdy turns around and begins chasing Pongo, a similar fate awaits Anita. Thus begins a brief romance that culminates in marriage. Soon afterward, Anita and Perdy are pregnant. While at work one day, the wild-haired, tightly gowned, and always outrageous Cruella, a bona fide fur addict, drops by Anita's desk and spies her fanciful designs for a spotted coat inspired by Purdy's coat. Enchanted, Cruella begins lusting after a coat made entirely of dalmatian puppy fur. But where will she, who had no qualms about ordering her henchmen to kill a priceless Siberia tiger in the London Zoo, ever find enough dalmatian puppies to make a coat? When she learns that Perdy has whelped 15 pups, Cruella attempts to buy them. But Anita and Roger, suspecting the worst, refuse to sell. Enraged Cruella has her two stupid henchmen Jasper and Horace kidnap the pups. They take them to an abandoned estate to join 84 other dalmatian pups. Meanwhile, a distraught Pongo and Perdy surf the doggy communications net in hopes of learning the whereabouts of their babies. Once they do, they set off on their own to save them, not realizing that after several misadventures involving the thugs, friendly farm animals and wild critters and a final confrontation with Cruella, that their family is about to grow dramatically.

A threat to our security at the border
With such resources at their disposal, and with the U.S. and global demand for illegal drugs remaining robust, it is no wonder that the cartels are doing well.
Given Mexico's increasingly precarious economic situation, the cartels' power is likely to grow. Mexico is suffering badly from the economic recession. For the first time ever, financial remittances sent home from Mexicans working in the United States declined in 2008. As the already meager job prospects in Mexico shrink further, the drug cartels will be one group of employers willing and able to pay for new hires.
President Obama ought to put the drug violence in Mexico at the top of his list of national security priorities. While it is premature to describe Mexico as a full-blown failed state, as some experts have done, the situation is alarming. The campaign against drug trafficking in Mexico is the latest failed front in the international war on drugs. The brutal truth is that the illegality of the drug trade creates a multibillion-dollar black-market premium that attracts the greediest, most violence-prone elements. Neither the Merida Initiative nor any other program will change that fundamental economic reality.
President Obama needs to order a comprehensive reassessment of America's drug strategy before the security environment along our southern border gets even worse.
Carpenter, vice president for defense and foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute, is the author of eight books on international issues. He is also the author of a new Cato policy study, "Troubled Neighbor: Mexico's Drug Violence Poses a Threat to the United States."

Australia backs Japan's drive to expand use of military
Published on Jun 12, 2014 2:52 PM
TOKYO (AFP) - Australia on Thursday backed Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's drive to expand the use of Japan's military, hailing it as a "more normal defence posture", a day after Tokyo and Canberra stepped up ties.
Mr Abe is pushing to reinterpret Japan's strict pacifist constitution to allow its well-equipped armed forces to fight in defence of an ally, something currently barred.
But he faces opposition at home from those attached to the decades-old constitutional ideal, as well as criticism from China, which accuses him of seeking to remilitarise Japan.
"Australia can see great benefits to our country and to our region, should Japan continue to play a greater constructive role in global and regional peace and security," Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said in Tokyo. "We certainly support Japan working towards a more normal defence posture to help it play a greater global and regional role," she told a news conference.

Stenson wins first title in three years
Henrik Stenson held on to his three-shot overnight lead to win the European Tour's South African Open on Sunday and end a three-year wait for a tournament title.
DIG INCatch up on the latest in golf with FOXSports.com.
The Swede finished with a 1-under 71 for a 17-under total of 271 and his first victory since the 2009 Players Championship. It was also Stenson's first win on the European Tour in five years.
''2011 was a tough year with not much good going on on the course for me,'' Stenson said. ''I felt I was getting closer and closer and obviously I'm delighted to get a win before the end of the year. When it takes that long between wins, you wonder if there is going to be a next one.''
George Coetzee was second on 14 under after the South African's challenge never really got going in the final round.
Having put himself in contention for a maiden European title with a course-record 63 on Saturday, Coetzee eagled the par-5 3rd on Sunday. But he could only manage two more birdies and had three bogeys for a 71.
Stenson carded four birdies - crucially two of them in the last three holes - and that was enough for a long-awaited victory despite a wobble midway through his round. He made bogey on the 6th and a double-bogey five on the short 9th after dumping his tee shot into the water.
He is only the second foreign player to win the South African Open title in the last decade and sealed his place at the season-ending World Tour Championship in Dubai after entering this tournament at No. 59 on the money list. The top 60 go to Dubai next weekend.
''It was great that I came down here from the U.S.,'' he said. ''One of the big reasons was that I was 59th, so I needed a good week.''
To cap his good week, the 36-year-old Stenson collected a little over $200,000 for the win.
Former top-ranked player Martin Kaymer ended with a 67 for a share of third at 13 under with Thomas Aiken. The German finished strongly at Serengeti Golf and Wildlife Estate, going 9 under through the weekend for a solid return on his South African Open debut.
Charl Schwartzel also signed off with a 67, erasing some of the memories of his 74 on Saturday and giving the former Masters Champion something to take to Dubai after a tough season. He finished fifth outright on 11-under 277, two strokes behind Kaymer and Aiken.
England's Tommy Fleetwood (69), home player Darren Fichardt (73) and another Swede, Magnus Carlsson (76), finished in a tie for sixth at 9 under.
Defending champion Hennie Otto saved his best for last, ripping around Serengeti in 62 to break Coetzee's one-day-old course record. Otto was brilliant with eight birdies and an eagle for his 10-under-par round to launch him up to a share of ninth.
Enjoying a breakthrough year on the tour since winning back his card, Branden Grace couldn't match his form overseas at home and shot 78 and 79 over the weekend for 8 over and 65th place.

The planning process for choosing the next in line for regional executive starts for many chapters at LTC.
It's a choice that deserves careful deliberation because not only is your RE your voice at the table when it comes time to set Chapter Balanced Scorecard goals, your RE should be a trusted resource for chapters, an advisor, coach, and cheerleader, and someone who has the ability to unite all the chapters in your region to work toward common goals.
How does your region select its representative? The Regional Executive Program Policy and Procedures recommend:
Each region shall select its nominee based on merit to perform the role. As such, the nominee for a region's Regional Executive should not be determined solely via rotation among chapters.
Each region shall select its nominee based on merit to perform the role. As such, the nominee for a region's Regional Executive should not be determined solely via rotation among chapters.
Still, most chapters follow the rotation system and the policy offers a recommendation, not a mandate. Some who adhere to the rotation system allow multiple candidates from the selecting chapter and vote on those nominees, but for many regions, the selecting chapter nominates a single candidate.
Region 8 was the first region to choose it's regional executive in an open election. A few years ago, Region 9 amended its regional operating agreement to adopt a similar election process.
We spoke with Mike Dewerff, Region 8's 2012–13 Regional Executive about the method Region 8 has developed to select its regional executives.
Any of the region's chapters can submit one candidate. Generally, the chapter's look for past presidents who have been strong leaders. Each candidate submits to the current RE:
"Over the last five to seven years that I've been involved," says Dewerff, "the presidents-elect looked to how well the candidate's chapter did while the candidate was going through the officer rotation.
"There's really no interview process, although that might be a good idea," says Dewerff, "but basically, the letter of recommendation and the letter from the candidate themselves outlines how they did on the CBSC, how they did on growth in the chapter, and things like that."
Dewerff points out that the region also considers how the regional executive-elect candidate will work with the person who will be the regional executive, because a close working relationship is a big advantage for the chapters. The regional executives and the regional executives-elect develop a close working relationship from the beginning. The regional executives-elect start conference calls with the presidents-elect from the beginning so that when they step into their year as regional executive they have developed a solid team.
"Collaboration among the chapters and sharing best practices helps pull the region up," says Dewerff.
Dewerff acknowledges that there are some perceived negatives to the election process versus rotation. "If you are going to constantly choose a nominee from the successful chapters," says Dewerff, "it can leave some of the lower-performing chapters out, but it's important to realize that even an underperforming chapter can have a good leader."
The rotation process has drawbacks, too. Following a rotation schedule doesn't mean that a chapter will always have a candidate, occasionally a chapter is unable to field a candidate. Consider, too, that in a region with a lot of chapters, (like the nine chapters in Region 8) rotation might mean that a truly exceptional president that rolls off this year might have to wait years before being an eligible candidate for regional executive, and by that time, the landscape is likely to have changed significantly.
That's a resource that the region may well have lost by then. And having recent knowledge of the Chapter Balanced Scorecard and Davis Chapter Management requirements is a big advantage for a Regional Executive.
"I think because I moved into REE position soon after my president role, it was easier," says Dewerff.
If you think the open election process may be right for your region, access the regional operating agreements, which are located on the Policy and Forms page on the Chapter Leaders website. There you can review the language in the Region 8 or Region 9 operating agreements as a starting point for your region. You can also review an example of Region 8 candidate documents for 2013-14 Regional Executive Randy Hoffman.

It's really unfortunate: way back when, this was one of the most honest gaming sites on the web. Money corrupts.
Bill Murphy is a symptom of the problem at MMORPG.com, not the cause. The web site treats major advertisers with kid gloves, and in doing so, effectively endorses those advertisers' fraudulent business practices. As such, they are their own worse enemy; MMORPG.com risks losing its forum-goers -- like so many other sites -- because it has lost all credibility as an unbiased and objective game-reviewing site. No web hits means no advertising dollars.
Whether talking about BioWare's SW-TOR or Zenimax's ESO, the games were not ready for release. Period. Neither game was adequately tested; both games had/have not just bugs, but major design flaws; both games were released when they were, I suspect, as "cash-grabs" because the development teams had overspent their budgets (probably a large portion of that on voice-overs and marketing hype).
No tap-dancing around the issues can change reality. No "soft porn" review can cloud the reality of what players are experiencing. It's not just the number of bugs that are an issue, it's the extraordinary variation of types of bugs which suggest this game was very poorly tested... not just in Beta, but also in Alpha, which suggests a very unprofessional development team.

I find it amusing that no matter what someone feels is good, bad, or middle road, it will cause folks to criticize whatever stance is made. It reminds me a of a quote by G K Chesterton:
The new rebel is a sceptic and will not entirely trust anything… [T]he fact that he doubts everything really gets in his way when he wants to denounce anything. For all denunciation applies a moral doctrine of some kind; and the modern revolutionist doubts not only the institution he denounces but the doctrine by which he denounces it… As a politician, he will cry out that war is a waste of life, as a philosopher, that all life is a waste of time. [He] goes to a political meeting, where he complains that savages are treated as if they were beasts; then he takes his hat and umbrella and goes on to a scientific meeting, where he proves that they practically are beasts. In short, the modern revolutionist, being an infinite sceptic, is always engaged in undermining his own mines. In his book on politics he attacks men for trampling on morality; in his book on ethics he attacks morality for trampling on men. Therefore the modern man in revolt has become practically useless for all purposes of revolt. By rebelling against everything he has lost his right to rebel against anything.

"Hopefully XP on the mobs inside will be rebalanced one day for those who do like to grind."
Hopefully not, grinding is the bane of MMOs. When ESO was in the design stage they said they wanted to steer clear of grinding gameplay. If you want to grind, ESO is not a game for you.

And if they did "rebalance" so one could grind I don't really see the issue as one could do the quests OR "grind". t's only a grind if one thinks it's a grind, remember that.
Doing quests can also be "a grind".
Last night I stopped doing quests just so I could stay in an area and kill monsters as I sort of "wanted to do something".
I think that's the real issue with quests. Though I think Elder Scroll ONlines quests are the best (though the Secret World has more thinking involved in many of theirs) if one is only doing quests then one isn't really doing any combat. I suspect the desire to fight monsters is the desire to be in combat.

Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft' might win, by fearing to attempt
I consider myself lucky to have as little time as I do to play mmorpgs these days. I play so casually that I have managed to be in game since 3 day head start and have yet to experience any annoying bugs. I know that they're happening, and I feel that in no way should Zeni get a pass on these issues, they need to be held accountable for the blunders and I believe they'd be the first to agree with that.
With that said, I absolutely love the game. Bugs aside, much of what other's dislike about the game, I am finding myself loving. The combat, lack of AH, the quests, the crafting, the inventory management, the store, the lore, the rvr, etc.. I love all of it. I wish there was housing and I believe that someday there will be. I would love to see housing developments like in DAoC where players could stage consignment vendors and people would have to browse house to house to find wares. Either that or have 3 different realm markets and have rvr supply routes be contested which would drive taxation and broker fees or something...
For me there's enough that I truly love about the game that it will last along time. I feel that Zenimax has the same vision for the game that I want out of it, and because of that i can only see it getting better. If I am wrong, I will have easily gotten a tremendous value for my time and money. For those experiencing major issues, I hope that the team moves swiftly to correct these things, as well as communicates clearly while doing it. I don't forgive them for some of the big issues, but I certainly can't take away from how great of a game they've created either.

Now maybe I'm just super lucky but I haven't run into any game breaking bugs, in fact since actual release (not early access) I can honestly say the only bug I may have run into in sound cutting out during some cut scenes and most likely its my drivers not being up to date. (relogging always fixes the problem)
But you and a few other Non-players come shouting how there are millions of bugs and how almost everyone is effected because you read some post from unknown internet poster Xs. Seriously If their were as many bugs as you like to claim Id expect to hear about it in game, but I can't say I have. In fact in game chat seems pretty damn positive about the game with people having fun.
Sorry but in the end I'll take my own experience over you and your non-playing crowd bellowing about what some stranger on the internet posted with no proof. The only thread I've seen here at MMORPG where the poster actually posted his system showed the problem not to be bugs but that his systems power source was way under par for the system he was running

Now I admit there are bugs I rather doubt there are the thousands of bugs being experienced by the majority you as a non-player claim. My own experience sure isn't the same as yours.

I am not trolling- If you look at my post history from way back regarding ESO I have always stated that ES is my favorite game series and Morrowind my favorite game. I stated that ESO would be nothing special but having played the series and owned every game new since daggerfall- I would buy it and give it a few months.
-You can watch my opinion change as the Beta happens and certain actions regarding the company became evident. Making me decide to pass.
In my opinion this WAS just a cash grab. Rahter than making a good game with longevity, they made a quick cash grab game that is entertaining but will fade very quickly and transition to a F2P game with a cash shop. That isnt trolling, that is what my opinion is based on following this game and beta testing... It really isnt very good.
Is there fun to have- Yeah. I imagine everyone will get a couple good months of fun with this. Some will play much longer- Overall- Something which COULD have been awesome and have the name to be BIG is a mediocre game by a company that is seeming to flounder in many ways.
Am I right? Time will tell. I hope not. In a year I hope I have been proven wrong and the game has depth and staying power...That there is still a sub without a Ca$H $hop...THEN I will play and be happy I was mistaken.
I think I am right though. This doesnt make me happy. I want to be wrong, in this instance and hope I ultimatley am.

Currently I'm having fun, you might be right though in a few months it might not be fun to me anymore, Hell Skyrim got old to me after 4-5 months and hundreds of hours played. Nothing last forever. If Zenimax does keep up with putting new content in regularly I think I'll stick with ESO longer then any MMO I've played in the last 6-7 years though. Lots of IF's
I'm not saying ESO doesn't have its share of problems, nore am I saying it's for everyone or a WoW killer. On the other hand neither am I searching the internet for posts from people I don't know and that have no factual credibility past the point they can type, to use as a reason not to play.

You are saying that it doesn't have longetivity while the game is not even 1 month old. We have no idea what Zenimax is preparing for us, while at the same time Craglorn, the first raid, is around the corner. it's people like you who are destroying games by saying that it has nothing to offer and that you have nothing to do once u hit max lvl. It's clear that you are NOT even VR10.
How can u know what it has to offer if u haven't hitted max lvl? I am VR10 and i have to tell u that it has a lot to offer, even right now, without the Craglorn.
Play the game first, and then comment on it.
P.S Most of the "haters" haven't gone past the starting zone, or even more, they haven't even bought the game and they base everything on that one beta weekend they played and the articles they read around.

I went into this game in pure MMO burn out. I have tried a ton of them and hated them all in the recent batch. So when my wife, who played the beta begged me to pre-order and play with her I was drug kicking and screaming into this game. I started play during the early launch, skipping the beta so I would not be burned out from the start.
I am a huge fan of the Elder Scrolls series and RPGs in general, which is why I have hate so many of the new MMO releases, they seem to have left out the RPG. So I was already hating this game before I launched.
Four hours later of game play with my wife I was hooked. ESO is not the best MMO out there but at least they attempted to make the RPG front line in the game. The game has more of an RPG feel than any other MMO I have seen right now and in fact feels a lot like the MMOs we loved in the early days.
There are flaws no doubt but to be honest this is expected. An MMO is a huge undertaking and is meant to be enjoyed like a good TV series, something that grows and deepens over time.
I wanted, when I started to scream about the monthly cost and high up front cost and how going MMO would ruin an great RPG IP. Truth is now I will gladly pay the money and even bought a copy for a friend to just try so he can join us. Overall this is an MMO that I actually want to play, something I cannot say about the others.

Kudos for doing a staged review instead of rushing through as much as you can in 5 hours and call it good.
I'd petition for Bill to get to endgame before pronouncing a verdict. Typically, games hit a bit of a slog in their leveling during the second half/last third. Also, what quality is the endgame? Remember that that was one of the serious problems with SWTOR, and one of the things people complain about in GW2. It's a bad start that a big part of the end game, aka adventure zones, will be patched in later in EOS, but if that happens before 70-80% of the people hit cap it's ok, I guess.
Anyway, staged reviews = a great step towards getting a comprehensive review of an MMO. Please don't falter right before the finish line.

Otherwise I completely agree with you, strong questing and adventuring.

A reviewers Job is to give their overall Verdict, they very much can sweep issues aside in their review, as that's the point, does the good outweigh the bad? ON the other hand they can sweep all the good away in the end as well, if warranted... As long as they acknowledge those issues. I'd say at this point there's little point in them being named in single order, they're widely known. Just saying "the issues" alludes everyone to the subject at hand.
The point of any review now is to say whether what lies under those issues is worth the headache. I get the impression from even some of the more negative posters around here, that in the end it is ( at least the PVP), though I get the opposite vibe from some of the more pro ESO posters. THey seem to point toward a wait and see stance.

There was a period in the Software development process when we had 7-8 hours long nightly builds. This was an year ago. I started making changes and today we have builds happening in 2-2.5 hours.
The hardware:
Intel Xeon E5-2650 2.0 GHz CPU
Intel 500GB SSD
64 GB 1666MHz RAM
The Software we compile:
Code Size 11-12 GB - Native C++, C#, JAVA
One VS 2010 Solution with 250 projects - Release and Debug
One VS 2010 solution with 80 projects - Release and Debug
Four VS 2010 Solutions with around 20 projects each - Release and Debug
A large JAVA codebase JAVADOC
The process we follow:
1) Get code from Clearcase - 15-20 minutes
2) Compile the source - 1 hour
3) Generate Installshield Media- 8 installers - 15-20 minutes
4) Archive all the media and source code -10 minutes
5) Some more activities
The problem is that the customer seems to be really depressed by the 2-2.5 hour build times. I have iteratively brought down the build times from 7-8 hours to 2-2.5 hours, parallelizing as much as possible. I see I can reduce another 10-15 minutes if i work really hard for around another 20-25 hours. But anything beyond that seems unrealistic.
The bottlenecks are none. That is, no hardware element seems to be under any pressure. We have more than 1,50,000 files involved in the build. This seems to be holding the SSD back. The Reads/Writes are slower than the specified value.
I feel any further reduction in build times can be achieved only if we restructure the code base. But the customer feels that I am incompetent and does not bother about my suggestions. He wants to hire some consultant to figure out the issue.
Please let me know the right way to solve this issue.

The debate between kindle readers and physical paper book readers has raged for a few years now and avid readers seem to have divided into one or the other. Ebook readers love the ease and simplicity of reading a book on their kindle without having shelf loads of books cluttering up their homes while paper book readers love the pure pleasure of holding a book in their hands rather than a piece of plastic. Personally, I think the kindle has a fair way to go to fulfill its obvious potential. However, there is another way of 'reading' books that seems ... Read more
Over the years, the FeedMyApp review team has reviewed 1000's of apps - many of which have gone some way to making our lives simpler and easier. Business apps, in particular, have gone from strength to strength during this time, but have changed slightly over the period. In the early days of the app revolution, great innovation tended to pave the way but, of late, the emphasis has been on simplicity of use rather than groundbreaking lightbulb moments. This year there has been a plethora of CRMs aimed primarily at the freelancer or small business owner that have tried to ... Read more
One of things that has been holding back small business when it comes to having an online presence has been lack of technical knowledge. Many business owners are technically challenged by website builders and CRMs, feel that they just don't have the computer skills to maintain them properly or figure that they are just too damned expensive to justify. If they do attempt to enter the online world they will generally cherry pick cheap, individual services and hope that they will all work together somewhere down the line. OElite Platform offers a cost effective set of small business management tools ... Read more
You'd think we'd have all learned our lesson these days about computer security. While Edward Snowden's efforts are probably out of the leagues of most people, it does seem rather silly to leave our work computers unlocked and vulnerable when we are away from our desk or when we go home at night. That's why the Gatekeeper Chain (or GK Chains) app was created. It lets you auto-lock and unlock your computer when you walk away and toward it...amongst other things.

Without a doubt, one of the most frustrating things about dealing with businesses is trying to communicate with them. Whether it is dealing with an automated telephone system where you have to press countless buttons just to reach a human being or simply being kept on hold for ages listening to bad Kenny G musak.

Privacy on our mobile phones has been much discussed over the last few years. Whether it be the 'theft' of photos or personal details, it's probably even more of a problem now than it was two years ago - and we still haven't really come to grips with it. Many of us are lazy with our devices and they are often left hanging around unattended for anyone to pick up and view. The solutions have often been weighty, clumsy or expensive apps that are inconvenient to use and can offer up as many problems as they solve. Privacy Lock is ... Read more
Does the whole concept of Black Friday scare the living daylights out of you? You've spotted an advertised price for a new TV but it's probably going to mean queuing up for hours, maybe days, in order to actually buy it at that price. Not only that but there's going to be a lot of pushing and shoving when you get in there. But it doesn't have to be like that. PWUL (Pay What You Like) is a new shopping application that constantly tracks thousands of websites to find the item that you want and at the price that you ... Read more
It's hard sometimes for small business to take the next step towards the better organization of their business management. While we have dipped our toes in the water by using programs like spreadsheets over the years, it's been a bit of a struggle to embrace complicated business management apps for many. So when an app as user-friendly as Drinkle comes along, it's worth taking note of it. This easy to use and unique project management application was designed specifically to help small business become more productive by organizing all your projects, tasks, leads and stock more efficiently.

Being a bit of an artist in my spare time, I've been looking at a lot of clouds lately. The most amazing thing about them is that, apart from their basic atmospheric structure, every single one of them is completely different. Unfortunately, most of the apps that track and inform us about our weather, tend not to be quite so unique. Here is one that takes its name from one of the most beautiful cloud formations up there and offers something a little more bespoke. Cirrus One has been in development for a number of years and finally gets its ... Read more
The world is not a very happy place right now. Just look at the news. There's trouble in the Middle East and Europe, and Africa is a minefield just waiting to explode. The fact is, as individuals, we can't really have much control over what's happening in the word. We can have some control in our own individual happiness, however. MyHappiness is a social self-help application for iOS and Android that can be used as a personal happiness trainer as well as a platform to keep a record of your happy times and your not-so-happy times.

Santa's Came Running in thier Hundreds!!!
Our 3rd Swindon Santa Run, this year in aid of Wiltshire Air Ambulance and Swindon Down Syndrome was held on Sunday 7th December 2014. Santa's and their little helpers, along with pet dogs of all sizes enjoyed the festive fun all dressed in Red and White. A total of 421 people registered made up of Adults, Children and Infants bringing in just short of �5000 in application fees alone. Nearly another �1000 has been raised on-line through Just Giving Pages with another �1000 expected from traditional sponsorships methods. The funds raised will be shared out between these two brilliant charities.
Santa himself was their in the Club Sleigh, which was a true traditional festive attraction.
Particpants came in their droves as the 400 plus pre registered entries collected their Santa Suits, Hats and Race Numbers between 09:45 and 10:45, followed by the annual visit of Allie Petrie who got all the Santa's and little helpers warmed up by a 15 minute ZUMBA exercsie sesssion, dancing to four tracks, one being "Im sexy and you know it"
Pictures are being collected from everyone who had a camera at hand and will be available on the website www.swindonsanta.org.uk.
The event was also well covered by the Swindon Advertiser, see article via link http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/11651130.Hundreds_turn_out_for_Santa_Dash_and_Reindeer_Run/

Not so long ago, the Columbus Blue Jackets had the worst record in the NHL, just as they did last season. Then goalie Sergei Bobrovsky began blocking every shot that came close to him and the Blue Jackets started pushing back against teams that had been dominating them. Now they're on a franchise-record nine-game points streak and shockingly find themselves within range of a playoff spot as the condensed season winds down. Through Thursday's action, the Blue Jackets had 26 points and were just four points out a tie for fifth place in the Western Conference - which they are playing in for the final time before a much anticipated and long awaited jump to the East next season. A year of transition has suddenly become a season of hope.

For nearly all of his 31 years, Jeff Matovic lived his life in a body out of control.
Talking was often painfully difficult for him, and simple movements nearly impossible. His greatest wish was a simple one.
"It would just be really nice to be still for, you know, a period of time," Matovic said.
The quiet peace of sitting still was an unknown dream for Matovic, who has Tourette syndrome, a disorder that affects 100,000 Americans, according to the National Tourette Syndrome Association.
Many people think of Tourette patients as people who uncontrollably sputter out obscene language. But that particular symptom of the disease, known as coprolalia, only affects 15 percent of Tourette patients, and Matovic is not among them.
"Tourette syndrome is a disorder of tics," said Dr. Brian Maddux, a neurologist from the University Hospitals of Cleveland. "There's usually several such movements — including the production of sound — so somebody may grunt, or cough or sniff, sometimes actually say words."
For Matovic, just trying to say the simple sentence, "It's a sunny day in Cleveland, Ohio," would send him into a fit of flailing and grunting in an effort to get the words out. When he was asked to put his arms out in front of him, it seemed an impossible task. But that was before.
Under Control
Thanks to an experimental surgery, Matovic's once uncontrollable body is now controlled to the point that he can operate a computer, play video games and even challenge his stepchildren to a game of basketball at their home in Lyndhurst, a suburb of Cleveland.
"My outlook on life in general is truly — the sky's the limit now," said Matovic, who, along with his doctors, spoke exclusively to Good Morning America.
Jeff Matovic first showed symptoms of Tourette syndrome when he was just 3 years old. Pictures showing the little boy smiling belie the fact that his childhood was often frustrating and lonely. "I wondered, why do I have to be home ticking, lying in bed, trying to calm myself when everyone else is out having fun?"
Having fun wasn't his only challenge. Matovic's tics made finishing high school and college relentlessly difficult.
"I mean, can you imagine trying to read something and you're constantly doing this?" he said, arms moving. "And your eyes are fluttering and you're losing your place every two seconds."
Much Trial and Error
He tried medication after medication, and they all helped control his movements — but only for a while.
His wife, Debra, says she watched her husband's abilities to move and accomplish day-to-day activities disintegrate.
"Over the past year, when the medication stopped working — Jeff, he just stopped being able to do almost anything," she said.
By last year, no pill was working. Jeff Matovic could not hold a glass without breaking it, he couldn't work, he couldn't play with his stepchildren and he described every day as sheer torture.
"And when it came to the kids — oh, man — it tore my heart out, because it couldn't be," Debra said, starting to cry. "He couldn't go out and play basketball. He couldn't."
With no options left, Matovic began doing research on a procedure called deep brain stimulation, or DBS.
It involves having two electrodes placed in the brain and attached to a sort of pacemaker for several years. The procedure has been used to control the symptoms of patients with tremors, Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders.
