So we've heard a lot about creeps like Dick Mourdock, Todd Akin, Tea Party Tom Smith, Deb Fischer and Jeff Flake but a few months ago I discovered this vacant land known as North Dakota. Appearantly this land is state and like any other state in the U.S. it too has two senators and there happens to be a Senate race going on there. If you thought Dick Mourdock and the Tea Party Pro-Life Rape Gang version of the Wu-Tang Clan was dope, wait till you hear their buddy Rick Berg's solo album. He's like their Red Man:
In September, in the midst of the Akin and Mourdock and whoever else scandals, BuzzFeed broke the "news" that in 2007, Berg voted for a bill in the North Dakota State House that would have made "any woman who obtained an abortion guilty of a homicide crime — even if it were in the case of rape or incest." The bill would have made seeking an abortion a Class AA felony, carrying a maximum sentence of life without parole. - Policy Mic, 10/26/12

But wait, there's more:
Berg voted against federal health coverage that includes abortion. He also voted against family planning (Planned Parenthood) and Title X grant money—"Since 1970s, this is the only federal program that provides individuals with several health services. Many of those services are those used by women, although they can be services used by low income people of both sexes. Those services include: HIV prevention, screening for breast and cervical cancer, and family planning services." - Addicting Info, 10/16/12
Well at least he can make an exception for if the mother's life is in danger. If you were raped? Fuck you, off to jail for you. But hey, that's North Dakota for ya:
This extreme legislation hardly seems out of place in North Dakota. In 2011, the State House passed the Defense of Human Life Act, a Personhood bill that would have made abortion at all stages of pregnancy illegal. It would also "ban the destruction of human embryos that are created when a woman's egg is fertilized outside her body." It passed 68-25 in the House but was tabled in the Senate, thanks to Republican in-fighting.
Also last year, the legislature managed to pass a law effectively banning all medication abortion. The law was taken to court and opponents succeeded in winning a restraining order against its implementation, later seeking an injunction on grounds that it places an undue burden on women seeking medication abortions. The ban is still blocked by the injunction; the lawsuit has yet to be resolved.
North Dakota also requires parental consent, a 24-hour waiting period and state-directed counseling. The state limits public and private insurance coverage for abortion, and bans telemedicine and almost all public funding. - Policy Mic, 10/26/12

I'm sorry to diss on North Dakota but that is fucking ridiculous. Pro-life legislation is like Friday Night Lights for North Dakota Republicans. They're really into it and it's fucking scary. Rick Berg absolutely cannot be elected Senator this year. Need I remind you that the Blunt Amendment was very close to becoming serious legislator. You imagine the type of dangerous bills Berg might try to introduce in the Senate? I mean this guy was the Speaker of the North Dakota House.

Luckily Democrats landed a terrific candidate this year; former Attorney General Heidi Heitkamp.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Here's a little info about Heidi form her website:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Heidi Heitkamp learned her North Dakota values of hard work and responsibility growing up in a big family in the small town of Mantador. Her mom was the school cook and custodian, and her dad did all kinds of jobs, from truck driver to seasonal construction.
Heidi and her six brothers and sisters all went to work as soon as they could to earn extra money for the family and later for school. She got her first babysitting job when she was 13, and worked her way through high school and college with a series of jobs, everything from waitressing to summer highway construction on a North Dakota road crew.
She says her father taught her the importance of working within the community to get the job done, from building the town VFW hall to putting a public park in Mantador so that every child had a place to play. And she says her mother, who never let the bullies beat up on the little kids in school, taught her to stand up for the little guy and demand fair play.
Heidi brought those small-town values to her career, choosing a life of public service. As a crime-fighting attorney general, she battled drug dealers, protected senior citizens from scams, and worked to keep sexual predators off our streets and away from our kids, even after their prison terms are up.
Her reputation as an advocate for the people grew when she served as a leader in the national settlement with the tobacco companies that required them to tell the truth about smoking and health, and pay restitution to the states. That settlement has so far brought $336 million to North Dakota for successful programs to reduce teen smoking and support schools and water supplies throughout the state.
Today, as a director of the one-of-a-kind Dakota Gasification synfuels plant, she's a champion for North Dakota's energy industry. Heidi believes we need to use all of North Dakota's rich energy resources wisely, creating and keeping high-paying jobs right here. She believes in reducing our dependence on oil from the Mideast and investing in the sustainable, renewable power sources of the future, including harnessing North Dakota's abundant potential for wind and solar power. And she believes energy companies should do their fair share to build the infrastructure that North Dakota needs to support a thriving energy industry.
Heidi will bring her North Dakota values to the U.S. Senate. She says there are too many extreme politicians in Washington willing to hold our economy hostage to advance their narrow political agenda. Heidi says it's time to put country first, put politics aside and work together to cut government spending, balance the budget, create jobs and get our economy back on track—while protecting North Dakotans.
Heidi lives in Mandan with her husband, Dr. Darwin Lange, a family practitioner, their golden retriever Copper, and their elderly tabby cat, Sport. They have two grown children, Ali and Nathan.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Heitkamp is a centrist Democrat but her views are more in line with former Senator Byron Dorgan (D. ND), one of the few Senators to vote against the repeal of Glass-Steagall. She believes in balancing the budget but she strongly supports making millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share and closing loopholes and is a strong supporter of the Buffett Rule. She supports drilling for oil in North Dakota and building the Keystone Pipeline but she also supports investing in alternative energy and has vowed to fight Wall Street's reckless speculation that drives up oil and gas prices. And despite coming from a state that has tried to pass some of the most radical and dangerous pro-life legislation, especially with Berg as Speaker of the House, Heitkamp supports a woman's right to choose.
The latest Mason-Dixon poll has showed Berg with a slight edge but the race still remains close:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Berg has strong support in the more conservative areas of Bismarck-Mandan and western North Dakota, while Heitkamp leads in Fargo and eastern North Dakota. Heitkamp wins in the east 50 to 41 and 52 to 41, while Berg is tops with the western voters, 54 to 39 per cent and 53 to 38 percent.Guys like Berg, Akin and Mourdock prove that even in deep red states like North Dakota that support radical pro-life legislation, a great Democrat like Heitkamp can win. I fully believe she will win because she has a great record for North Dakota whereas Berg has a long shady past in the North Dakota House authoring and passing legislator that serves to help his shady real estate business, Goldmark, thrive and evict tenants, including soldiers serving overseas, for bull shit reasons while still making a profit. You can read about here:
Berg is the choice with male voters, winning 57 to 38, while Heitkamp has a 52 to 37 advantage with women. Within party affiliations, Heitkamp has a 96 to 2 lead with Democrats while Berg wins with Republicans 88 to 7. Heitkamp has a 48 to 38 lead with people who say they are independents. - KFYR-TV, 10/29/12
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Heitkamp's internal polling shows her in the lead. I believe her polling because she has been hitting Berg hard for his connection to Golmark and how his company evicted a soldier over seas and North Dakota voters aren't happy about that:
Berg has run a predominantly negative campaign continuously trying to tie Heitkamp to President Obama. Berg has no real plans to help fix the economy, he's just a Tea Party/GOP rubber stamper and people in North Dakota know that. I for one don't want a Tea Party extremist who supports putting rape victims and women who seek abortions in jail. You know he'll introduce similar legislation that he failed to get passed in a conservative state and he won't serve the people of North Dakota. The only person he will serve is himself and his company, Goldmark. Heitkamp is a prove public servant and will work with both Democrats and Republicans. If we are going to fix the economy, the last thing we need are more Tea Party extremists. Lets help Heitkamp cross that finish line:

I don't know what you or he understood but I just pointed out to him that the word "accused", which he used, is used in a negative context.
The posters who claimed Fognini to be gay weren't "accusing" him. At least not in the sense the word is in the dictionary.

Inherited IRA
plans are not intended to permanently shelter IRA distributions
from income taxes. Instead, they are intended to provide for the
retirement of the IRA holder or, after they have died, for the
support of their beneficiaries. As a result, the IRS has
established IRA distribution rules so that investments will be
depleted over the course of the IRA holder's or beneficiary's life
expectancies. These rules are known as required minimum
distributions (RMDs).
If an
IRA beneficiary
does not take an RMD by the applicable deadline the beneficiary is
subject to a 50% penalty on the amount that should have been taken
out. If a spouse is the sole beneficiary of an inherited IRA and
they miss an RMD, there is usually an added consequence. If this
occurs, the IRA ceases to be a beneficiary IRA and is now looked at
as the surviving spouse's own IRA.
What types of factors are considered for determining the
distribution alternatives available for the beneficiaries of the
inherited IRA
following the death of an IRA holder? Many factors can impact what
distributions options are available to an IRA beneficiary following
the death of the IRA holder, however, there are three primary
factors that must be considered:
Under the 5 year rule, the beneficiary of an
inherited IRA
can usually take distributions in any amount at any time. Keep in
mind, the beneficiary must totally deplete their portion of the IRA
by no later than the end of the year containing the fifth
anniversary of the IRA holder's death.
The tax regulations governing
inherited IRA
distributions provide two basic methods for determining their life
expectancy factors. These methods are known as recalculation and
When looking at the recalculation method, an IRA holder looks up
a life expectancy table used for calculating required minimum
distributions. This life expectancy table is provided by the IRS,
and can be found on their website.
On the other hand, the life expectancy factor in the
non-recalculation method, is looked up in the life expectancy table
for the first distribution year, just like when a person uses the
recalculation method. However, in the following years, one year is
subtracted from the original life expectancy for each passing year
since the first beneficiary distribution year, rather than going
back to the table each year. Always keep in mind that the life
expectancy of beneficiaries who are not spouses must always be
determined using the non-recalculation method.
Under this option, an IRA beneficiary must begin to take income
based on their life expectancy by no later than the end of
the year following the year of the IRA holder's death. Spouse
beneficiaries may wait until December 31 of the year the deceased
IRA holder would have turned age 70½ to begin taking distributions
under this rule.
The options for distributions available to an estate as the
beneficiary of an
Inherited IRA
vary depending on whether or not the IRA holder died before their
required beginning date. If the IRA holder has died before their
required beginning date, the assets in the IRA may be paid to the
estate using the five-year rule. If the account holder died on or
after their required beginning date, the estate can take
distributions over the remaining life expectancy of the deceased
IRA holder.

1. Cavaliers. Let's state the obvious: This is the most talented team in the Eastern Conference. There are seemingly limitless possibilities on offense when you add Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love to the best player on the planet. LeBron James is also likely to get guys like Tristan Thompson and Dion Waiters overpaid at some point in the near future. But while shiny and new, these are known quantities. I'm most excited to see how new coach David Blatt employs his bounty. Basketball insiders love him but he'll be under a ton of scrutiny for a first-time NBA coach.
Say 'Hello' to: James Jones. LeBron and the Floor Spacers. Jones and Mike Miller reunite with LeBron . Wave the towels from the bench. The open looks are sure to follow. [Read more…]

LOS ANGELES -- Mickey Rooney's bare end zone won't be part of the Super Bowl advertising blitz, Fox TV said Friday.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - Police say Jimmy Griffis, 22, picked up a stranger and gave him a lift to a store on Asher Ave., where the man then shot him late Saturday night.
According to the police report, the victim was driving down 25th Street when the suspect waved him down and asked for a ride to the Site convenience store. When they arrived, the suspect got out of the vehicle, pulled a gun on Griffis, and demanded money.
The reports says the two got into an argument that ended with Griffis getting shot in his chest and arm. The injuries were not life-threatening.
Video surveillance shows the suspect running off after the shooting. A witness helped get the victim to the hospital.
Police are still looking for the suspect, who faces charges of aggravated robbery and first-degree battery if he is apprehended.

Great grip, don't slip, and no more broken toes. As an extra bonus, if they do start to stink, you can wash them or hose them out and the smell is gone. I tried everything with the Harkens, but there was just too much fabric for smells to get into. These shoes are mostly rubber. Neo uppers, drain holes in the bottom, bungie sinch.
They don't look the best, but they're cheap, and I stay on the boat.
Nice, I may try those next if I don't go with Keens.
I'm currently using Sperry products (Billfish for knockabout's/cruising and a "performance" sailing type tennis shoe for racing). I had already sworn off Sperry, but they contacted me after I posted a scathing review on their site, requesting I send back the shoes I was complaining about. They sent me the two pairs mentioned above in an effort to change my opnion. The jury is still out, as this is the first full season with them and I more or less expect them to be crap next season.
My wife heeded my advice and got Keens for the boat. She was worried at first because they gave her some blisters, but either the shoes or her feet are now broken in and she loves them.
I can't for the life of me understand why top dollar "performance sailing" shoes seem to either become slick as ice after one season, or smell like death if they last more than one year. I have a pair of West Marine flip flops that are at least 5 years old and have been worn on and off the boat that still grip the deck tenaciously. They grip so hard the problem is your feet will slide off the sole long before they slip on the deck. Why can't they use whatever the hell these things are made of for a decent inexpensive shoe you could afford to throw away when they got stinky?

Ivies, Seven Sisters Were Cozy with Nazis
While Jewish-refugee scholars went South
A new book on the cozy relationships leading American colleges and universities maintained with Nazi Germany is a "must read," according to the New York Times Idea of the Day blog. In The Third Reich in the Ivory Tower, University of Oklahoma historian Stephen H. Norwood argues that universities like Harvard and Columbia and smaller schools like the Seven Sisters colleges were both complicit in and indifferent to the atrocities committed against Europe's Jews. "They just didn't care very deeply about Jews and anti-Semitism because they were themselves involved in maintaining quota barriers against Jewish students," Norwood said in a recent interview quoted by the Times.
It is instructive to compare Norwood's argument with an exhibition now on view at New York's Museum of Jewish Heritage. In Beyond Swastika and Jim Crow: Jewish Refugee Scholars at Black Colleges, the museum tells the story of how a number of German-Jewish intellectuals—shunned by the elite colleges and universities of the Northeast—found homes for themselves at the historically black colleges of the South.
The exhibition rests, at least in part, on the idea that the injustice of the Jim Crow laws sensitized southern blacks to the plight of Jewish refugees. It's an idea Norwood's new book seems to underscore.

My wife and I had a wonderful time in the Grand Haven, Mich area and were impressed by the friendliness of the staff and the cleanliness of our room. Our only minor complaint is that the air conditioner was somewhat noisier at night. Other than that, we would have to give your Grand Haven Days Inn "two thumbs up". We plan to return.

My hard drive had 5 partitions(including 1(some 4-5GB) bit locker encrypted one). When I used disk mgmt I could view 2 partitions(24.4GB and 8.94GB) in green colour labeled Empty space.
So, I wanted to merge them and I used minitool partition wizard for the purpose. I don't know, what that software did, but all I was left with 2 partitions and lots of green free space.
I recovered 2 partitions using EaseUS partition master, but the bitlocker encrypted partition cannot be searched by it(and also minitool partition recovery).
Now, the disk mgmt shows 2 free space partitions of 28.36GB and 8.94GB respectively. Here is a screenshot http://s14.postimage.org/4tvij041t/Screen_Shot003.jpg
Please, tell me a way to recover the bitlocker encrypted partition that is showing as a free space in disk management. P.S. - It contains very important data.

'Unknown' Promises Mysteries Unraveled
By Gary Strauss
Exploration and adventure series are so common on cable, many TV viewers get a sense of deja vu when channel-surfing.
But Discovery Channel programming executives think there is room for one more. That's why they're kicking off Into the Unknown With Josh Bernstein tonight (10 ET/PT).
The genre's viewers know Bernstein — author, adventurer and wilderness educator — from his three-season gig hosting History Channel's popular archaeological series, Digging for the Truth. Others may know the Cornell-educated CEO of Colorado's Boulder Outdoor Survival School for his 2007 listing in People's "Sexiest Men Alive" issue.
Discovery hopes Unknown's theme and Bernstein's macho appeal can resonate with a broad audience, particularly in a time slot that has been occupied by reality-TV kingpin Thom Beers' varmint-chasing series, Verminators.
"This is more than sit-back-and-watch TV. This is lean-forward-and-get-immersed TV," says Bernstein, 37. "I want people to be engaged."
Says Discovery programming executive John Ford: "Josh is the genuine article. He brings an authenticity to a show that goes to difficult locations and is rich with detail. We think this will appeal to our core audience, who like information to be credible, but in an entertaining package."
Tonight's premiere opens in Rome, then goes to Turkey and Tunisia, where Bernstein dispels Hollywood myths surrounding ancient gladiators with the help of gladiator-school specialists, archaeologists and forensic experts who examine warrior training, diet, weaponry and celebrity status in the Roman Empire.
Since filming began Dec. 1, Bernstein has spent 200 days traveling to 15 countries for the eight-episode series.
"As an explorer and someone who loves to travel, this show is the perfect vehicle for me," he says. "You wouldn't have to pay me to do this. I would do it without TV cameras."
Bernstein says Into the Unknown's format appealed to him because it offered bigger budgets and more time to explore stories than the archaeological-centered Digging for the Truth.
"After three years, it felt a bit constricted. We wanted to be as ambitious as possible with Into the Unknown, (covering) the past, present and future," he says.
"We wanted stories with a central mystery I could sink my teeth into."

Kinley was born in Vienna. He came to England in 1938, serving in the Army between 1944 and 1948 before studying art in Düsseldorf and London. 'Walking Figure' is one of a number of figure subjects painted early in 1957. When asked about his thoughts on abstract painting, which was becoming fashionable at that time, Kinley replied: 'I do aim to find recognisable images in my painting; this does not imply a return to 'Realism' or 'Naturalism' in the 19th century sense, but of translating experience (largely but not exclusively of a visual kind) into paint... I begin with a clear idea of what I intend to paint, but in trying to realize this idea in paint it may be necessary to change the image quite a lot.'

From the article: Walk 2000 More Steps a Day and Never Gain Another Pound
Researchers tell us that it is important to keep moving throughout the day and to find ways to sneak in more steps. Whether you're working toward a goal of 10,000 steps per day or just trying to keep from being completely inactive, what is your tip for making yourself move more often throughout the day?
What a great idea
- Ok I can't add much but WOW! The simple idea of walking while talking on the phone - brilliant! I mean I'm a woman so I can multi task lol. Waiting for the microwave isn't bad either, but love the phone idea.
- —Guest Nicole
- Work doing landscaping, if u trim 9 hours a day thats abut 60000 steps a day I take. Then I go jogging 2.5 miles every other day. Do the math. Health at its finest
- —Guest Dylon
Add more steps..
- by walking while you are talking on the phone. I do a circuit from my family room, kitchen, dining room, then living room. Keeps circling until you complete your call. The steps really rack up especially if it's a long phone call! I also march in place while watching tv. You can get a really good workout watching a sitcom!
- —Guest glasgowgal
Walk the building
- Use your break time at work to walk the building. I go downstairs, walk the bottom floor, go back upstairs and walk the top floor. Ten minutes later, I'm back at my desk working.
- —Guest Rebecca
to add steps
- March in place while you wait for the microwave to heat your lunch/dinner.
- —Dunbarfarmgirl
more steps...
- Walk to STARBUCKS when you have a break or lunch...ONLY get coffee or tea.

Scott Kazmir shuts down A's for his first 10-strikeout game since 2009
May 9, 2013, 2:48 PM EDT
Scott Kazmir got knocked around by the Astros in his first start of the season, which made it seem like his comeback with the Indians was destined to fail, but he's actually been pretty good since then and turned in a very impressive start this afternoon against the A's.
Kazmir tossed six innings of one-run ball versus Oakland, walking zero and striking out 10 for his first double-digit strikeout game since way back in August of 2009. That day he struck out 10 against a Blue Jays lineup that included Marco Scutaro leading off, Vernon Wells batting third, and Kevin Millar hitting cleanup.
Since then Kazmir had thrown 202 innings with a 5.38 ERA and 134/98 K/BB ratio. But now he's allowed two runs or fewer in three consecutive starts while compiling a 21/3 K/BB ratio in 17 innings. And he's still just 29 years old.

- Kevin Gillman - May 9, 2013 at 3:55 PM
Sweeping the Athletics in a 4 game series, something that they have not done since 1995 is very impressive.
- janessa31888 - May 9, 2013 at 3:58 PM
The fans gave Kazmir a well-deserved standing ovation after he finished. The Tribe's biggest problem has been the starting pitching and if he keeps this up, it will be a huge help.
Loving Nick Swisher and Mark Reynolds hitting bombs:)
- neoshweaty - May 9, 2013 at 4:00 PM
Hope he can keep it up in the long run because if so, the Indians got themselves a steal. Not many times that you can get a guy conceivably still in his prime on the cheap. Who knows though? Lots and lots of season left.
- bbk1000 - May 9, 2013 at 4:06 PM
Good for Kazmir…I was hoping the Mets would bring him into camp….
- rcali - May 9, 2013 at 4:38 PM
Wow, talking about hitting bottom Oakland. I didn't think Moneyball meant getting schooled by a AA pitcher.
- takemytalentstosoutheuclid - May 9, 2013 at 5:07 PM
I'm guessing Moneyball also doesn't mean rolling out a 300 pound, 50 year old Bartolo Colon to avoid a sweep.

Well finally an expert weighs in
I remember when I was a little girl my best friend had that coloring book! Where is the exhibit that you've seen? I'm guessing in Washington DC somewhere, but is it part of another museum or what?
Interesting link to the Nancy Reagan gown. I will stand by my opinion of being a fan of the dress, but it's nice to hear an inagural ball gown historian's take on it.
There is an exhibit devoted to First Ladies in the American History Museum. It was recently re-opened with a lot of new stuff. I hope they get Michelle Obama's gown too, as I'd like to see it up close.
I thought she looked amazing both during the day and at night. Both were appropriate, a little different, not trendy, and really nice for a First Lady. I can't imagine any other choice for her, they both seem to suit who she appears to be. I can't wait to see more of her outfits, I know it's stupid but they are just such a great couple, I love seeing them!
I'm also so, so tired of Hollywood and actors being our heroes. It's nice to be able to have a real role model, not all that Hollywood pat themselves on the back for essentially doing nothing. Given where we are as a country right now, all these awards shows just seem so self congratulatory and ridiculous to me, but I still want someone to talk about .

Fast forward a month or two and my wife hasn't ridden the bike yet. It looks like I will be 99% rider. The good news is that it makes a great little commuter bike. 144 miles on the first tank of gas. I only live 3.6 miles from work so it sure beats taking the pickup to work.
I really don't have a point of reference for this little bike but it feels anemic to me. Does changing the pipe really add power or just make it louder? Are folks rejetting them? I haven't done any research yet.
You would have to remove the air constriction at both ends. Doesn't do much good to open up the pipe without opening up the air box too. I did the mods to my XT250 and gained some low end torque, but you probably won't see an increase on the top speed. I'm certainly no expert, by the way, these are just my observations. I took the XT back to stock setup cause it made it louder, and not a good kind of loud. It sounded horrible! If you open up the airbox somehow, and put an FMF pipe on it, you will see some sort of power gain I'm sure. The FMF should sound good too. When you get this thing on the trails, you won't miss the big adventure bike you wanted. If you do, just look in your rear view mirror cause that's where they'll be!

I've taken a couple of trips to Iceland now - one to experience the midnight sun of the midsummer months, and one to see the Northern Lights dance across the winter sky. Iceland's largest city Reykjavik is a beautiful place and has the distinction of being the northernmost capital city in the world. Its latitude is 66* North, and that quantifier has also become one of the country's iconic brands. On both of my visits I've found myself picking out pieces from the 66*North store for myself or for gifts, so I was incredibly pleased to find that my favorite online retailer Moosejaw sells items from the brand as well. This jacket is a versatile, high-quality piece that serves me well on chilly desert nights here in the American Southwest and packs, travels, and layers well in exotic climes all over the world. Moosejaw and 66*North make a perfect pair.

Pink, it's like red but not quite.
Leave us in peace, disgruntled SWG veteran.
I hope that some day, some how, this becomes an unprofitable topic to troll with.
But not any time soon. Hell, we've still got some Original WoW Haters from circa 2004 clinging feebly to life.
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.

don't need to write much, i played one beta, that was enough to know what would happen.
Thx for any fanboi who had fan of me or any people for saying the thruth, that the game was pure crap, and as i said back then you can keep your game and play it all time long as long as you are satisfied and you don't dare bother me again.

Seems to be a lot of denial!
1.3M subs? Well EA announced 1.3M "somethings" - I never saw a definition of what an "account" was - probably because the number was after the start of the "30 days free" period.
How would 1.3M be a failure: easy - if EA do not recover their investment.
No problem EA making a profit over the life of the game? Well EA have said they need 500k to break even and 1M subs to make a profit but nothing to write home about. And that is paying subscrib ers - so excluding free 30 days etc. - for some decent period of time - assumed to be 1 to 2 years depending on actuals subs, sales, advertising, free 30 days etc. So looking bleak at the moment.
Better than SWG. Peak subscribers yes. Total number of paid subs over time - probably not if things contu=inue.
Known failure pre-launch? I didn't see it as having the multi-player "content". And based on the business model i.e. monthly sub didnt see it making it. If it had been a B2P - sold essentially as a single player game with paid for DLC and (maybe) a small annual charge for the multi-player aspect, $10-15 for 6 months perhaps with the first 6 months included then I believe it would have been more sucessful.

So tell me. How many subscribers does SWToR have, and please site your source which is more definitive then the one I provided.
And to further, mr. pot calling the kettle black. I'm sorry you don't approve of the conditions I set up for SWToR's success. Please can you again refer to your own credentials in determining those conditions? I mean that is your argument right, I'm not allowed to set the perameters of success, but you are somehow....
Talk about full of yourself.
You lambast me for talking about ToR's position in western p2p mmo's.....I'm sorry I didn't realize the parameters you set didn't include comparing like products. You want to compare it to Maplestory for God's sake.
What mmo are you playing, btw? Does it have more subs than ToR? How about Maplestory? I think it'd be pretty funny if by your own logic, your game is a complete failure compared to Maplestory. I mean, we are going by the parameters you have established for success right?
Well, at the end of the day, I suppose your parameters for success would indicate the best mmo's are WoW, Asian grinders and browser games.
You excited about Panderia then?
Oh and btw, before you jump to the conclusion about me being some fanboi of SWToR. Please re-read my post. It is garbage.
I'm just realistic enough to know that any mmo with more than 250,000 subscribers is a contender and isn't going anywhere for a long time. Whether I like it or not.
Hey, but the population may continue to decline to VG lvls - I'm flexible enough to change my mind as evidence presents itself - but right now they still have a sub base that games targeting the same audience would be extatic to have. And I'm sorry if my parameters of 'games targeting the same audience' is too liberal and crazy for you, if you want I can do an analysis using Farmville for the measure of success.
Were it failed before it even started was BW devs listening to kotor fans who spent a great deal of time telling people who had a interest in the game to.."GTFO this is not WOW!" "GTFO this is not SWG2!" they ruled the early beta forums and slammed and flamed long time MMO veterans who came from many games curios about SW:TOR.
Thats is why the game is mainy kotor 3 online.
The real fail was allowing these kotor fans who hated Wow and SWG to rule those early days when devs needed input from all types of people who had experience in many MMORPG's. indeed we had many intelligent people who have been around since the first online games ever offer advice for long term retainment of people interested in TOR. but again those forums had people waiting to pound any thread to dust and get it locked so devs would not consider or see see the idea.
After release the features they thought the majority of the fans could care less about happened to be the very features that the general player of a themepark had hoped would be in at launch.
Throughout development those forums and the vile people who ruled them help shape the 4th pillar and these are the same people who over hyped the game in these forums and attacked anyone on other forums when it came to swtor.
So you can say it was BW devs and it is. but if the guys had had a larger portion of people from other MMO suggest and point out early pitfall's in the design they had. we would have a much better swtor right now.
So now they stop listening to kotor fans a little and are trying to play catch up with the design they should have made at launch or early beta.
But they still have no idea what that is because the feedback they get is still mainly those hardcore leftover kotor fans who still hate WOW/SWG and other MMO's
I think the devs there have no idea what the average MMO player want. at this point they have given up trying to. they're just wingin it now and doing a bad jab implementing those features.

By the time beta rolls around, the world is already constructed. Even if 100% of the public tells them to make a more pervasive world, that's impossible, the world is made and the money is spent.
By the time the public is giving any input - it is too late to completely remake the quest structure. The tools they are using and have bought and paid for creates kill x number of rats, that's what they have to work with. I mean that has to be obvious right? There really is absolutely no variation from quest to quest in this game. They just drop different mobs into the same slots in a different zone. Pretty obvious they weren't 'handcrafting' these quests. Which means they were using a toolset. So any suggestions about improving questing would have to fit into the same formula their toolset provides. (**I am fully aware that I may have exposed my lack of mmo programming knowledge with this theory, so please, I won't be offended if someone corrects me**).
The stories have already been written by the time we get to say anything about it. The classes have already been defined.
It is a logistical impossibility to start from scratch due to public input, which is essentially what they would have done.
Know this, from now until the end of time. Once a game is announced to the public, they already know what the game will be. Watch and learn. You will never see any mmo with a signifcant major structural change between beta and release. But with 100% of every mmo that will ever be released, you will see posts that claim, 'devs never listen to the players'. And really, it is that you have your timing all wrong. Your structural input is useless at that stage. They want you to tell them 'the quest text is messed up here' or 'i always crash when I zone into suchandsuch'. And to that, they are listening.
The only thing Devs can do, once we the public know about the game, is move sliders back and forth to tweek progression curves and rates. They can fix bugs. They can tweek performance. They can't make different classes. They can't change the world. They can't change quest construction. They can't make the game we wanted, only sell us the game they have.

SWG had nothing to do with the success or failuer of Old Republic. The subs or lack of subs for SWG was due to the poor quality of the game and the heavy handed approach of the sony devs. The interest in a "good" Star Wars" MMO was high and sold millions of copys both for SWG and Old Republic. The failure has been to delivere in quality for both games, but certainly has nothing to do with the level of interest in a Star Wars MMO and the idea that somehow the sub numbers from SWG relates to the success of another Star wars MMO is lacking in any inkling of the ability to think critically. You want to look at the potential of for success of a Star wars MMO look at the box sales.

/sarcasm off
Don't believe me? Go into the official forum where only subscribers can post and I bet you will find post after post asking for sandboxy features. Better hurry though, those post do get locked rather quickly but at least there are enough beggars to keep the mods busy locking threads.

They can make changes to SWToR, but they can only attempt to make the best lobby/themepark mmo - or start from scratch to make the game you guys want.
And really, if VG can still be alive with its abysmal numbers, you really think half a million subs is cause for a shutdown?

This is the reason i hate this site now days sooo many haters and freakin doomsayin tards dating all the way back to 2002ish when this site was put up everyone just complains on how every single game sucks ToR has not failed well i guess it fails because it doesnt have the huge player base wow has blah whatever you dont need 15 million subs to be a good game 1 the game hasnt even been out a year it hasnt even hit the content prodiction stage yet helll the wheels havnt really begun to spin it may not be the greatest game out there but it is a game to keep an eye on. Now lotro believe it or not is making a pretty damn good come back the f2p model gotta be one of the best ive seen in the f2p market cant really bitch about a game that is free hell you can earn tokens in the game even. other than that people sayin game suck and blah blah i think its time for you guys to find a new hobbie and stop polluting the freakin forums with so much hate its not politics either like the game or gtho simplee.

Top 2 reasons for the bleeding subs in TOR are: the gear grind based pvp system (and the broken balance along with that), and the game not turning out what people hoped it to be (it's not even a decent "KOTOR online" type game). The third reason was lack of players on the servers many players were on but now that there's been merges, that reason has disappeared.

But then I got done with it. I've tried to accept the whole "that's just what MMOs are" excuse developers try to use, but honestly it's all very been there-done that and I'm sick of it.
TOR just following that model just didn't feel fresh enough to even bother trying.

What's your favorite website/online resrouce for making fermented foods? is there a great "how to" website out there, or a blog dedicated to making fermented foods? i have a couple friends into fermenting and between us we 've mostly used each other and a couple books (wild fermentation and nourishing traditions) as our resoures. i'd like to offer some website suggestions to my students though so any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks!
I have this page bookmarked, but haven't tried any of the recipes specifically:
is a good basic how-to with Sandor Katz on fermented vegetables.
Hope it goes well!
