To the editor: The members of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 10-08 of Shallotte wish to thank the people of Ocean Isle Beach and the surrounding vicinity for their most generous contributions of food and money to the Coast Guard Station Oak Island food drive.
Flotilla 10-08 was able to collect more than 2,000 pounds of food to help Station Oak Island turn in more than 10,000 pounds of food to the North Carolina Food Bank.
Thank you all so much.
To the editor: National healthcare or socialized medicine? It's one in the same. Want to know if it works? Go to www.neoperspectives.com/canadahealthcare and see for yourself from those living in the moment.
All the experts tell us this won't work. Spain, UK and Canada are all living under this rationing of healthcare and it doesn't work. As a five-year colorectal cancer survivor (stage III going into stage IV), I was fortunate enough to have the options of my professional healthcare providers.
To the editor: Re: St. James involuntary annexation proposal.
I never cease to be amazed at the audacity of the St. James mayor and town council. Their move toward involuntary annexation on N.C. 211 and Midway to control commercial and private property associated with the new Oak Island bridge corridor is opportunistic and unacceptable.
Contrary to their assertions, N.C. 211 (named Southport-Supply Road for a reason) is not the entrance to St. James; it merely passes by the entrance.
To the editor: It will be interesting to see if the county commissioners cut any of the nonprofits from their budget.
One would think with the overall thinking they might possibly have to cut salaries or worry about laying off employees and cutting nonprofits would be a no-brainer.
Why aren't nonprofit organizations conducting their own fundraising?
To the editor: I appreciated your paper's article and editorial on delinquent taxes. I do not think you went
deep enough in your articles.
Each county commissioner receives over $12,000 per year salary plus a cell phone, DSL Internet service, a computer and health insurance. They have the option of adding their family to the policy but are required to pay the additional premium.
To the editor: I am writing this letter in regard to the five students involved in the car accident on Friday morning.
My heart goes out to all the families affected by such a tragic accident. As a parent, I understand the heartache all are facing today.
I would like to commend Stephanie Allen, Andrea Allen, Emily Craven and Joseph Crawford for stopping at the scene of the accident and being Good Samaritans. In today's society, many people would have walked away or not even stopped to lend a hand because they are worried about themselves.
To the editor: I was quite surprised to read in the May 7 issue Dr. Pietrafesa, Dr. Young and Dr. Pilkey believe "Senate Bill 832 would reverse 24 years of sound coastal management policy to permit the construction of terminal groins."
To the editor: A big thank you to Wilmington city and rural letter carriers, who collected 36,671 (and still counting) pounds of food for the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina on Saturday, May 9.
This will help provide more than 30,000 meals for those at risk for hunger in New Hanover, Brunswick, Pender and Columbus counties.
To the editor: Brunswick County's No. 1 industry is real estate and vacation rentals. The citizens mentioned in the unpaid tax article, and this industry as a whole, invested heavily in national marketing dollars, attracting new residents to Brunswick County.
This led to Brunswick County's explosive growth over the years, thus contributing to the Brunswick County tax base, as can be seen in the expansion of Brunswick County's Government Complex facilities and work base.
To the editor: Our tax office is heartless. It's not just Mark Saunders, Marty Cooke and Andy Sayre who are having difficulties paying their taxes.
Police officers, real estate agents, teachers, plumbers, preachers, painters, nurses, brick masons, landscapers, carpenters, county employees, farmers, doctors, lawyers, commercial fishermen, banks, and 90 percent of all your neighbors, friends, family members and co-workers are effected by this economy.

Duluth police say a man who cut himself and was shot twice by an officer is expected to live.
WDIO-TV reports Duluth Police Chief Gordon Ramsay identified the man Tuesday as 34-year-old Joe Zontelli. He said Officer Marc Johnson shot him because Johnson feared for the safety of the people present.
Johnson was placed on administrative leave, following standard protocol. He's a seven-year veteran of the department.
Ramsay says Zontelli had cut himself and was bleeding when officers arrived at his home Monday. He says Zontelli locked himself in a basement.
Officers forced open the door and deployed a dog to distract him. Police say Johnson fired his gun after Zontelli refused to drop his knife.
Ramsay says officers can't count on stun guns in life-threatening situations.

If daily use of mousse or gel is weighing down your locks, add a pinch or two of baking soda to your shampoo once a week to remove product buildup. Getting squeaky-clean strands is a piece of cake.
Use one tablespoon of baking soda in a cup of water instead of shampoo. Since I started doing this, my hair does not fall out as much as it was using regular shampoo and conditioner.Use the baking soda on your scalp and the acv rinse on the ends of your hair.
Place baking soda in a clean, empty plastic spice jar. Sprinkle on carpets, pillows and fabric furnishings before vaccuming for freshness. Store uncapped in your icebox or freezer to absorb odors. Later, use the baking soda as a gentle cleanser for countertops or your microwave.
Last year i read an article about how shampoo leaves a residue on your hair and it advised washing your hair with baking soda. i started doing that every day and by the end of a month, my hair was no longer a dry, brittle, frizzy mess. and it isn't greasy either! my hair is shiny and curly now!

Kin demand justice for raped, slain 81-year-old
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO—An 81-year-old woman in Nueva Ecija, who was raped, beaten up and bludgeoned on April 22 by what her relatives said was a deaf and mute man who could be a fall guy, has been buried amid demands for justice.
In burial rites in Barangay Bibiclat in Aliaga town, relatives of Adelaida Hudencial wore red shirts emblazoned with the appeal, "Justice for Kaka Adeling."
Leo Topacio, Hudencial's nephew, said the family expected a swift investigation by the police.
Topacio said there can be "possibly other suspects."
Hudencial died in a hospital in Cabanatuan City on April 25 after being attacked on April 22. Topacio said the autopsy report showed she was beaten up, stabbed, strangled and bludgeoned with a pipe in the head. She also suffered excessive bleeding, he said.
Police filed a rape case against Alexander Ancheta, 19, on April 24 in the provincial prosecutor's office. Senior Supt. Crizaldo Nieves, Nueva Ecija police chief, said the case could be amended to include homicide or murder, depending on the result of preliminary investigation.
Police said Jo Ann Navarro, a store owner, asked her neighbors to help Hudencial after she heard the latter shout for help.
Village watchmen arrested Ancheta, a resident of the same village, as he tried to escape, police said.
Topacio said Hudencial, a vegetable vendor, was one of his three aunts who did not marry and instead helped in rearing their nephews and nieces. Tonette Orejas, Inquirer Central Luzon

Federal judge upholds Ohio execution policies
COLUMBUS, Ohio A federal judge on Friday upheld changes Ohio made to its execution policies, saying the state had tightened procedures that the judge previously criticized, such as not having enough executioners on a given day.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Gregory Frost rejected a request by condemned inmate Reginald Brooks to delay his Nov. 15 execution for killing his three sons as they slept in 1982.
In separate decisions Friday, the Ohio Supreme Court also denied three other requests for delay by Brooks' attorneys, moving the 66-year-old inmate closer to being the first Ohio death row prisoner executed in six months.
Brooks, who has argued he is mentally ill, would be the oldest person put to death in Ohio if executed. He has also asked Gov. John Kasich to grant him mercy, although the Ohio Parole Board on Monday unanimously recommended against clemency.
Defense attorneys had argued that the changes Ohio made to its policies since the judge's scathing July decision shouldn't be trusted and in fact may have made things worse.
But Frost, while acknowledging he remains wary of the state's conduct, said the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation had convinced him that the changes are well-intentioned and for the better.
"Things have changed," Frost wrote in a 24-page ruling. "Defendants have tightened procedures and have implemented checklists and safeguards ... that, effectively employed, will serve to reinforce the protocol requirements."
By contrast, Frost scolded the state in July for creating what he called a "haphazard application" of its death penalty protocols.
Frost said the state didn't follow its own rules for executions on everything from staffing to checking an inmate's veins to be sure that IV delivering the lethal chemicals can be inserted on the day of execution.
No decision has been made about appealing Frost's decision, said Brooks' federal public defender, Allen Bohnert, who called the ruling disappointing. He said he believes the evidence was clear that Ohio still doesn't follow its own rules.
In August, the state announced it would require post-execution reviews of all lethal injections and a physical evaluation of the condemned person's veins three weeks prior to execution as part of policy changes made in response to Frost's criticism.
Among other changes, the new policy specifies an "Order for Execution Medications" form that must be completed by those handling drugs, and it allows the warden who oversees executions to designate a doctor as an auxiliary member of the team for consultation during training or unanticipated circumstances.
The prisons system has bolstered its training, documentation, and quality review procedures to demonstrate Ohio's commitment to humane executions, spokesman Carlo LoParo said Friday in a statement.
"Ohio's revised lethal injection policy and practices are the most comprehensive in scope and will be best documented in the nation," he said.
The Supreme Court rejected appeals by Brooks to allow him to argue his mental competency and for a new trial.
The court also rejected a request for a delay until a statewide committee finishes studying the fairness of Ohio's capital punishment law.

Coexisting Spatio-Temporal Scales In Neuroscience

In this study I propose an epistemological discussion of multiple spatio-temporal scales in neuroscience. Are such scales merely convenient levels of description of structure and function, or do they correspond to irreducible levels of brain organization? What criteria should we employ in order to reduce one level to another, or to identify levels that are not reducible to others? Should we think of these criteria as based on empirical and/or theoretical reasons? Beginning with an empirical criterion – the necessity of different experimental methodologies for the measurement of different phenomena in the same system – I summarize spatial and temporal scales currently used in neuroscience and discuss the possibility of a more general theoretical criterion. I conclude that multiscaling should be recognized as a central concept in the epistemology of neuroscience.

COLLECTING tribal artefacts in the late 19th century, Harvard University's Peabody Museum sought to preserve a span of American history that 18th-century frontiersmen had tried to obliterate. By the end of the 20th century, the tribes wanted their things back. Thousands of ceremonial objects were returned before curators realised that earlier conservators had doused them with arsenic to repel insects. Saving the artefacts had rendered them deadly.
This is just one of the fascinating and morally fraught tales told in Finders Keepers, a book about archaeology and its implications. Craig Childs is a superb storyteller, expertly recounting Aurel Stein's 1906 pan-Asian pursuit of the Diamond Sutra - the world's oldest printed book - for the British Museum, and his own search for pre-Columbian artefacts in the American Southwest. Presenting myriad perspectives on the pursuit of artefacts, Finders Keepers is a cross between Indiana Jones and a parliamentary debate.

I also hate it when Settings are moved around in the Control Panel and Administrative Tools. If you often have to access several specific settings, it might be worth to learn the filename of the MMC-SnapIn or Control Panel applet you want to use. For example: Device Manager is "devmgmt.msc", Computer Management is "compmgmt.msc", Network Connections is "ncpa.cpl" - which I find way more convenient if you have to configre network settings in a corporate Environment with different Windows versions.
I don't know about the US, but in Europe PayPal's User Agreement says that it is "licensed as a Luxembourg credit institution". Also I don't really get where all the hate for PayPal comes from.
Yes I read a dozen times that they froze the account of SomethingAwful or some loud-mouthed bloggers under dubious circumstances, but for me it always worked just fine. Actually I really like PayPal because it allows me to send a seller money that is instantly credited to his account, without trust issues on either side or credit card processing for the seller.
I also like the security of going to PayPal's site so I can verify the payment, which is why I am quite sceptical of this API change. But apart from that I really don't see how PayPal is bad in any way for me as an ordinary customer.

BOSTON - NOVEMBER 05: Paul Mara #22 of the Montreal Canadiens knocks the puck away from Brad Marchand #63 of the Boston Bruins on November 5, 2009 at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)
After their game tomorrow night, the Bruins will be a quarter of the way through the shortened 48 game season. Sitting pretty with only one regulation loss thus far, things are looking good for this Boston squad and they seem poised for a run. But one question that begs asking: is Brad "Rad" Marchand going to be the primary goal scorer for this year's team? Many (including myself) pegged this season as the one where Tyler Seguin would come out blazing, have a breakout year, and establish himself as a premier offensive talent in the NHL. But Seguin has gotten off to a bit of a slow start. He has had plenty of chances, but can't seem to find the back of the net, notching only 2 goals thus far, one being an empty netter. While he has tallied four assists and only has one less point than Marchand; NoseFace has scored seven goals so far this season, the most on the team. David Krejci and Nathan Horton are next with 4 a piece, Looch has 3, and then there is Seguin with two goals, along ...

ComfortDelGro hits 7-year high, Singapore shares firm
Published on May 14, 2014 1:49 PM
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - ComfortDelGro shares surged on Wednesday to hit a seven-year top on better-than-expected first-quarter earnings and expectations of favourable policy changes, while the Singapore index rebounded from 1-month lows.
Shares of ComfortDelGro rose as much as 6.6 per cent to an intra-day high of $2.26, its highest since June 2007, after the transport operator posted a 9.7 per cent rise in net profit for the first quarter.
The gains helped the Singapore benchmark index bounce from a one-month low hit on Monday. The Straits Times Index was up nearly 1 per cent at 3,252.74 by midday. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan edged up 0.7 per cent.
OCBC maintained its "buy" rating on ComfortDelGro shares, with a target price of $2.30, citing robust growth in its overseas business despite challenges in its Singapore operations.

Wednesday November 28, 2007
By SARAH CHEW
KAJANG: Female students should be caned because their disciplinary cases are just as serious as boys'.
This is the reason behind a call to introduce caning for girls in schools, one of the resolutions passed at the National Seminar on Education Regulations (Student Discipline) 2007.
"There have been suggestions that girls should be caned as sometimes there are more girls than boys in schools, and the problems they give are just as serious," said Deputy Education Minister Datuk Noh Omar yesterday when closing the seminar.
The three-day seminar, attended by over 500 elected representatives, school heads, ministry officials and also representatives of parent-teacher associations, religious groups and political bodies, discussed school disciplinary issues, punishments and solutions.
It was aimed at looking into and fine-tuning the draft of the Education Regulations (School Discipline) 2007, meant to replace the 47-year-old Education Regulations (School Discipline) 1959.
The 21 resolutions passed yesterday included:
Noh said the special schools should not be viewed negatively.
"We are looking at ways to rehabilitate students as a one-day or five-day course is sometimes not effective," he said.
The seminar, he added, was crucial in helping the ministry formulate the new regulations through discussion with stakeholders.
"We were already planning to implement some of the things covered in the resolutions but are worried about objections from the public," he said.
For instance, he said, many parents had objected to the circular banning handphones in schools but participants at the seminar supported this ruling.
The draft, he said, would be scrutinised by a technical committee and the Attorney-General's Chambers before being presented to the Cabinet.
He also hoped that the new regulations would be implemented by next year.

Mindfulness at Shelton Abbey Open Prison
The first 8 week MBSR Programme being held at Shelton Abbey.
Centre for Mindfulness Ireland is facilitating the first 8 week MBSR Programme at Shelton Abbey Open Prison for 24 participants.
There has been great interest and enthusiasm to hold this MBSR Programme at Shelton Abbey and this was signified by the 26 meditation benches that were made on site by one of the participants and ready for the first of the 8 weekly classes. There was one made for each participant and the two MBSR Facilitators, Anne Twohig and John Peelo.
On the seat of each meditation bench is a very apt quote by Jon Kabat-Zinn – 'Your intentions set the stage for what is possible'.
Mindfulness WisdomDr. Jon Kabat-Zinn speaks about the latest research on Mindfulness in "Life is Right Now". How can we be more present in our lives? What does it mean in a larger context? It is time to awaken.
For Today...
"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." – Viktor Frankl, Survivor, Auschwitz Concentration Camp.

Arizona Wildcats
Former UA, ASU standouts among those cut by NFL teams
The National Football League can be a cruel business, as several players experienced this weekend with rosters being trimmed to 53.
Unfortunately, local products from Arizona and Arizona State were not immune to business side of the game.
ASU cuts
Kerry Taylor (Cardinals), Colin Parker (Cardinals) Gerell Robinson (Broncos), Brandon Magee (Cowboys), Lawrence Guy (Colts), Garth Gerhart (Packers), Deveron Carr (Buccaneers), Rashad Ross (Titans), Ryan Torain (Giants) and Brandon Smith (Packers).
Magee has since been claimed off of waivers by the Cleveland Browns, while Carr and Ross were signed to the practice squads of the teams that initially released them.
Taylor, who was let go by Bruce Arians and Co. Saturday, was also signed to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday.
UA cuts
Spencer Larsen (Buccaneers), Ricky Elmore (Redskins), Colin Baxter (Chargers), Trevin Wade (Browns), Mike Thomas (Cardinals), Dan Buckner (Cardinals), Fendi Onobun (Bears), Matt Scott (Jaguars) and David Douglas (Buccaneers).
Scott and Onobun were signed to their teams' respective practice squads.
D'Aundre Reed (Vikings) and Chris Gronkowski (Chargers) were also waived/put on IR by their respective teams.
Onubun was also later signed to Chicago's practice squad.

Liverpool are eyeing Celta Vigo striker Iago Aspas.
Liverpool are eyeing Celta Vigo striker Iago Aspas.
The Mirror says Aspas was wanted by Chelsea and Reading in January, but only the relegation-bound Royals made an official bid and Celta refused to sell their man for less than his €10million release clause.
However, with rock-bottom Celta now looking set for relegation from La Liga, the Anfield giants want to take advantage of his clause dropping to €7m and have offered him a £45,000-a-week deal.

Thanks Prof_Pixel. Both axis would be a labeling issue, the numbers are the densitometer readings. Horizontal in transmitted mode, vertical in the reflected mode.
I see what you mean, if I align by a mid tone, then the curves would indeed look better. At least for the condenser / tungsten bulb. When I look at the LED source across grades 00 thru 5 and align by the mid-tone, I see the curves again make more sense. There seems to be a "kink" in the LED curve (around a print density of 0.75) that I would like to understand better. Could this be an effect of absorption between the blue and green LED's in regards to the paper? Could an additional filter under the light source help smooth this out?
I suppose I should repeat the experiment to see if I get the same result.

Research has shown that cat lovers are smarter than dog lovers.
- Filed Under
"Dog people" and "cat people" may both fall into the animal lover category, but they're not exactly cut from the same cloth, a new study finds.
Carroll University researcher Denise Guastello and her team surveyed 600 college students and found cat lovers to be more open-minded, sensitive, and non-conformist than the dog-fancying majority, which, besides being more outgoing, was more inclined to follow rules. Perhaps the most contentious finding of those presented on Saturday: Cat lovers emerged as more intelligent, LiveScience reports, without elaboration.
The findings echo a 2010 ...

Some of 'em are black, so the name of this Florida blog-famous group isn't as indefensible as I (and probably you) wish it were. The crit-wise conventional wisdom says Kids are A) peaking too early and B)Êaren't ready for prime time yet. I'm not fatally smitten myself, but must concede that they've got a way with a dynamite keyb hook and are fun.
The former Dipset chair/reliable microphone whack-job returns after an overlong absence to perfunctorily not say a whole lot of anything over production—ganked from a Mariah Carey non-hit—so drugged it keeps threatening to nod off, only to jerk itself back into groggy consciousness. This doesn't bode well for the perpetually delayed, title-shuffling follow-up to Killa Season.
Corny Southern rap single as public service announcement? Dallas-based MC Dooney takes aim at urban youth who allow their jeans to sink below waist level by equating the fashion practice with criminality, a lack of self-respect, and even "the down-low": "I think it's rude, but some of y'all think it's cool/Walkin' around, showin' your behind to other dudes." If only Dooney's tune wasn't the theme song for the city of Dallas's campaign to outlaw "saggin'"; he might as well commission a Bill Cosby/McGruff remix for all the good it'll do.
Carpe diem, indeed. This R&B song will win awards, make you miss your honey while he/she/it is within hugging range, and blare during slo-mo news montages of military personnel yet again leaving home for Iraq.
I understand what scuttled Chavez and Zwan—a lack of upward trajectory and band infighting, respectively—but seriously, has Matt Sweeney resigned himself to a life as guest-sideman-to-the-indie-stars or something? Here he chips in acoustic ax that strengthens a beautifully unsettling, sinister-spiritual duet between Elisa Ambrogio of the Magik Markers and SOOA's Ben Chasney. That's nice and probably pays the rent and all, but Sweeney's meant for bigger things, and he knows it.

You do not speak for every introverted individual out there so dont use introverted people as an argument.
The second M in MMORPG has and always will stand for multiplayer, you can look it up if you want. There is also more forms of multiplayer gameplay than raiding, you have grouping, pvp, trading etc, the thing that they all have in common is that they all require other players to even exist while soloing does not. It is not a matter of being catered to, its a matter of multiplayer gameplay in a multiplayer game.
Seperation is not a logical sollution because developers have to make seperate changes to a seperate version of the original game just for a few soloers on their own seperated server. Ive said it before and I will say it again, go to the forums of a single player game and ask them to add online features, crafting and a auction house, basically the same way diablo 3 is. It requires far less resources because those features only has to be added once and the rest of the game is already designed for your type of gameplay.

Let's start at the very first study, which, after all these years, people who converse on this subject are still willfully ignorant of, for some reason.
If you want more, Blizzard, EA, etc. have reams of compiled internal data which demonstrates the predominance of solo play in MMO's since their inception.
The second M in MMORPG does stand for multiplayer, as in multiples of players on one server at the same time. It has never meant those players should be forced, or coerced through predjudicial penalization of playstyle, into playing the game in a way that they don't want to. I understand that there are players out there whose arrogance leads them to believe that others should be forced to play the game their way, but they would be wrong.
Solo players have every bit as much right to play MMO's as raiders do, and their greater numbers only serves to drive home the point further, as commerce is an important factor in the gaming industry. Raiders suggesting solo players "go play an RPG" are simply demonstrating the type of anti social behaviour that they claim is the problem with soloers, and in the end just don't add anything of value to the conversation.

Group play promotes socializing in games and creating community which most mmos sorely lack where as solo play doesn't promote anything useful to mmos. If I wanted to solo games I would stick to single player rpgs.

i like solo play a lot, but i also like group play. I tend to look for mature guilds to socialize but I think i have really bad luck finding guilds for group play because every guild i join claim to be mature and they never talk to guildies, only a select group taht know each other talk to each other and all they talk is..... top gear, raids, real life issues (even if they say they are casual friendly).... i guess they think those are the mature topics ?.... oh well.... maybe i just keep soloing and avoid groups. Bad luck is bad luck lol

Needing people is not necessarily needed to build a community. I have played several games where you don't need people at all and they were very friendly communities. Istaria is one of them: Very friendly, lot of chatter, lot of people willing to help if you want it but you can learn everything and do almost everything in the game by yourself.
So no the community does not suffer if people do not need each other.
edit- common sense is usually just an individual perception of what they believe is real, and not anything based on reality.
Quit worrying about other players in a game and just play.

The only way to have a true community is when people have common goals and common interests and that's just not what we see in modern MMOs. Half the reason that communities worked in older MMOs is because the people who played them shared common interests outside of the MMO, they could talk about other things while they were playing. Back in the day, I couldn't get into a group where everyone couldn't quote Monty Python and the Holy Grail verbatim. That isn't the case today. People in these games no longer share any common bonds, MMOs no longer represent a single community, they are dozens or hundreds of communities and it will never go back to the way it was.
Stop living in the past. The kind of community game that used to exist is gone and will never come back.

Just watch the Landreau episode of the original Star Trek or any Borg episode, and you'll see how silly the argument is. Grouping based on free and good will is what makes good communities. Freedom to do things by yourself, freedom to group with friends. Kinda like real life! :) If you find yourself saying "he is not one of us..." you'll know you've slipped over into the bad grouping, mob mentality.

There would be no need to discuss this if developers would actually use the idea that was brought to light 3 years ago at a GDC...scalable content.
I forgot the developers name, but he did a slideshow showing HOW to do it so ALL CONTENT scaled to the player and to the group...no matter the size of the group. The mobs not only scaled in terms of "HP" or "DPS output" but also in terms of loot dropped, skills it had to use but also tactics. It was a simple list attached to the mob that, once created, the developers of the game wouldnt have to go back to it and continue to touch it up over the development cycle.
This idea allows 100% of the game to not only remain viable to 100% of the players throughout 100% of their playing, it also remains viable to all player types. Solo, small group, medium group, raid, large raid.
The very idea that parts of the game should be created with a segment of the playerbase in mind is old and outdated. Its foolish all-around to do that today.

Yet every time such is suggested, you get the pro-grouping crowd screaming bloody murder. They don't want scalable content, they want all content to be too hard for people to do solo under any circumstances so everyone is required, in order to play the game at all, to group up with others whether they want to or not.
Foolish yes, but hardly an uncommon sentiment.

When are you people going to realise that a game that allows you to solo everything will make grouping a rare activity? Unless you make grouping a requirement then grouping will not happen, pure and simple; look at recent themepark MMO's, where the quests can be done alone the whole way to max level. Look at how people approach them. I've said it before many times, people will do what's easiest for them, they'll solo for the same reason that they change a lightbulb on their own, it's the easiest and most natural way of approaching the situation.
And in response to the comment about 'grouping up with others whether they want to or not', the simple answer is don't play a multiplayer game if you're in that mood. If I don't want to team up and shoot other people I don't boot up Call of Duty, if I don't want to group with other people to fight trolls I don't play an MMO.
MMO's are multiplayer games, the word is in the title, why is everyone so set on making them a different style of single player game? We have enough of them in the world as it is, why can't we keep MMO's as team/group based mutliplayer games? Must everything become a solo experience?

So, by your definition and wishes, all MMOs should be grouping only and if a person ever plays online they must group. Think about that. You would cause the demise of the majority of current MMOs. What about the period when a game experiences a population drop? Groups would be difficult to find thus the game would slowly die.
People have taken the name MMO and twisted it to their own preference. Massive Multiplayer Online does not mean massive grouping online. What it means simply is many people playing a game online. Whether the game mechanics call for grouping or solo play should be up to the developers. I personally enjoy soloing, don't mind grouping (as long as it's easy to do), and absolutely hate forced grouping.
I think the most successful games find a way to balance solo and grouping.
Originally posted by UsualSuspect
Look, according to pro-groupers, people group because they want to. Is that not true? Is there some game mechanic that is going to stop a group of people from joining forces for the simple and pure pleasure of joining forces, just because they can play the game alone? If so, then you've got a pretty damn pathetic group of groupers. Is this something they do because they want to do it or is it something they'll only do because they have to do it?
There are tons of things I do in games because I choose to do them, I'm not required to do them, I want to do them.
So what the hell is wrong with you groupers?

That's probably not far off, to be honest, and I think it would appeal to another group, for which there seems to be a lot of overlap to the pro-groupers. They'd rather there only be a couple of MMOs out there so people couldn't just jump from game to game and would have to stick to a game for a long period of time because there are no other options.
It's all sad.

Both come under the same answer. It's all in the game design. As it stands MMO's have moved to largely solo games where you can play alone all the way to max level before needing to group. That's not how it should be and if you think it is then you're clearly in the wrong genre. The game mechanic stopping people from joining forces is the ease of gameplay, MMO's have become so solo orientated that they really don't give any other option but to solo. Like I said earlier, you don't invite a friend around to change a lightbulb, just like you don't group to kill 10 boars who die in 2 hits. In the case of some MMO's, The Secret World pops into my head, they actively block you from staying together as a group by throwing solo instances into normal quests.
In the past you had MMO's such as EverQuest, where the pendulum had swung the other way, where grouping was the main way of progressing. If you were good, went to the right areas, and targeted the right mobs, you could solo there too, but it was never easy. And yet that game survived right up to today, where these solo based games barely survive a year or two. The majority of current MMO's are killing themselves by building themselves as single player games online, the longest running games have all had some form of grouping at the forefront of their design.

At a time when even the so-called 'surprise visits' of officials end up giving ample time to lower level officials to do some quick window dressing, the planned and scheduled visit of State Chief Commissioner for Right to Information Act C.D. Arha, along with Information Commissioners, to the city on Tuesday for a review of the implementation of the Act gave enough time for the officials to set right many things. All that is mandated under the Act for display on notice boards was promptly adhered to and a lot of information was made available on the notice boards of all important offices. Whether or not Mr. Arha and his team members will find time to pay a visit to the offices, the announcement of the visit has certainly helped put the officials on their toes.At their traditional best
Intermediate students of Siddhartha Mahila Kalasala hogged all the limelight when they were at their traditional best for a rally against the bursting of firecrackers to celebrate Deepavali. Wearing silk pavadas, the girls convincingly demonstrated that dressing in new clothes and decorating homes with rangoli, flowers and lamps was a celebration in itself. Unfortunately for the degree students, the college management gave no exemption and the students had to participate in the rally wearing the regular uniform. The Intermediate girls, dressed in a variety of colours, were the natural choice of the lensmen who thronged to cover the event. The smartly dressed junior girls, for a change, overshadowed their seniors.Another cheque!
At the inaugural ceremony of the Stag 31st AP inter-district table tennis championship, a cheque for Rs. 50,000 was presented by the organising committee to senior coach Mukkalama. As MP Lagadapati Rajagopal, the designated chief guest who was busy with his 'Pragathi- Purogathi' programme, did not arrive, the organisers asked Dronacharya awardee Koneru Ashok to hand over the huge make-believe cheque to the veteran coach. Making the organisers' job complicated, Mr. Mukkamala expressed the desire that he receive the cheque from Mr. Rajagopal, who arrived a trifle late. The organisers dutifully obliged him. Pat came a poser from a senior scribe, who asked the MP: "Are you giving another cheque for Rs 50,000?".Fun time
Fun time has set in for the officials and corporators of the Guntur Municipal Corporation. They were shown, the other day, the Sharukh Khan hit flick, Chuk De, by Municipal Commissioner Siddhartha Jain at a special screening at the Council Hall.
The idea was to instil a spirit of camaraderie among the officers and pep up their otherwise sagging spirits. For long, the GMC had been hit by the staff crunch. But with a dynamic IAS officer at the helm of affairs, one hopes to see a refreshing change in the functioning of the officers.
Not to lag behind is the Mayor. A day before he flied to Italy, the Mayor arranged a picnic for the corporators in the mango orchids at Nuzivid. With only few months left before the Mayor makes his way out, he probably wanted to win the hearts of his mates.
