It took the Valmé family 15 years and $500,000 from donations and recycling bottles to build a two-story yellow school building for youngsters in this rural outpost. But before the doors opened, the Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake destroyed the school.
We were fighting for years to have that school. To see it collapse was sad, said Dr. Gerald Valmé, 59, a New York physician whose family-run foundation now educates and feeds the 460 students inside a zinc-covered wooden structure with plastic tarps for walls.
It seems that its only the people who have the connections who have the access to the funds. Those of us doing good work, we have no access, Valmé said. They have forgotten us. They dont identify us. They dont know us.
Almost nine months after a battered Haiti approved a U.S.-backed blueprint for its recovery, small nongovernmental and grassroots community organizations essential to the countrys long-term reconstruction are being left behind in the nearly $2 billion in reconstruction projects that have been approved.
As a commission charged with disbursing billions in reconstruction funds meets in Haiti on Thursday and Friday, the Valmé family and other community-based organizations will be watching closely to see how much of that money tickles down to them.
Located in rural towns such as this one near the city of Léogane, they have little access to the $5.5 billion pledged, including $344 million in contributions to the Haiti Reconstruction Fund. The trust fund is intended to be the largest source of unprogrammed funding.
The frustrations are understandable, said Gabriel Verret, executive director of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission. It is hard to grasp that the IHRC is not the one blocking their access. The commission determines the strategy, approves or disapproves projects, but it does not control donor resources.
In fact, the bulk of foreign assistance from countries such as the United States and Canada are still directed to large nongovernmental organizations.

The revolting pharmaceutical orgy revealed by the US Anti-Doping Agency brings Lance Armstrong down with a crash louder than Ben Johnson or the Balco laboratory drug cheats. They were mere chancers. Armstrong was an icon of cancer fund-raising who rode that cause as self-servingly as he pedalled his bike.
In the most sensational expose since Ben Johnson tested positive after winning the Olympic 100m in Seoul in 1988, Armstrong's front as a global poster boy for the fight against terminal disease is torn away to reveal a user, trafficker, bully and cover-up artist who ran his own personal empire of deceit.
Armstrong denies his guilt but has decided not to fight USADA's ban.
There will be those who still say that the raising of tens of millions of dollars for research outweighs his own personal mendacity, which he denies. They forget that the USADA talk of the "dangerous" life-threatening chemicals sloshing around the US Postal Service Team when Armstrong was its leader. Never mind the lying, the intimidation of those who challenged him and the fake victories in the Tour de France. Since when were campaigners for life and health allowed to lead a secret second life in which they and others assaulted their vital organs with pharmaceutical drugs to make a bicycle go quicker?
"To all the cynics, I'm sorry for you I'm sorry you can't believe in miracles. This is a great sporting event and hard work wins it," he once announced, after one of his seven Tour wins. That chutzpah stands in bitter contrast to the USADA's forensic picking apart of an institutionalised sporting fraud.
Here is another egregious Armstrong riposte, to a curious reporter: "This is my body, and I can do whatever I want to it. I can push it, study it, tweak it, listen to it. Everybody wants to know what I am on. What am I on? I am on my bike busting my ass six hours a day; what are you on?"
As the detail of this arrogance and contempt for sporting values emerged, one's mind imagined Armstrong competing in a triathlon in Elliott City, Maryland, three days ago, after the organisers ignored WADA sanctions to allow him to take part. According to agency reports, "Armstrong finished the 70-mile swim, bike and run in four hours, 16 minutes at the Revolution3 Half-Full Triathlon, racing in a wave of about 50 fellow cancer survivors." Brock Yetso, president of the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults, said: "We had two individuals who decided they did not want to race based on our decision and 300 who said they wanted to. So I think numbers speak for themselves."
"I think he's a great inspiration for anybody," said Lennie Phillips of Kensington, Maryland, who survived brain cancer and competed alongside Armstrong. "All of these allegations, whether they're true or not, I don't know, but he still had to go through all the treatments."
Phillips is entitled to his view on Armstrong's double life. He sees the work done in cancer laboratories, the lives saved, including his own. But the rest of us are entitled to ask whether Armstrong's relentless campaigning was part of the puppet show: an attempt to construct a saintly image that would ease his conscience and protect him from gossip. As it happens, Armstrong protected himself robustly: with threats, denunciations and an aggressive faith in his untouchability.
Johnson was the big sacrifice of the seediest era in track and field. He was busted, held up as the sport's most reviled criminal and used to demonstrate a patchy determination to rid athletics of fraudsters. The Balco laboratories doping scandal swept through baseball and US track and field, claiming Marion Jones, Kelli White, Tim Montgomery and our own Dwain Chambers.
Back then it was hard to imagine a more graphic insight into the canyon between what we see and what really goes in with syringes, pills and vials.
Armstrong persuaded himself that a hyper-aggressive stance in the face of suspicion would crush his accusers. He forgot that a vast network of cyclists and officials were involved in cultivating the bright shining lie of the cyclist who could ride forever. Sooner of later it was bound to come out.
Like many anti-heroes of American 'crime', Armstrong holed himself up and was prepared to take everyone down with him. The people whose hearts he has really broken are doubtless those who saw him as a survivor, a unique life force whose real struggle was not against the Alps but illness and death.
As if cancer were not bad enough, they had to be conned by their idol.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. â?? The Chiefs have reached a contract agreement with Andy Reid to be their next head coach, according to a source close to the situation.
Reid arrived in Kansas City after flying into Wheeler Downtown Airport. Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt then drove Reid to Arrowhead Stadium in a black SUV.
Hunt showed Reid around the stadium and the former Eagles coach stopped to sign autographs for three Chiefs fans, writing Go Chiefs on a couple footballs.
When asked for a comment by a Kansas City Star reporter, Reid declined.
The Chiefs also havenâ??t settled on a new general manager to replace Scott Pioli, whose departure from the Chiefs was announced earlier on Friday. The most likely candidate is John Dorsey, Green Bayâ??s director of college scouting.
Reid will replace Romeo Crennel, who was fired Monday after the Chiefs finished their season at 2-14.
The expectations are that the Chiefs would improve quickly under Reid.
â??I think this team all of a sudden has a chance to be pretty good,â?ť former Chiefs coach Herm Edwards said. â??He fits with the Chiefs. He coached at Missouri. He was in the Midwest. The fans will enjoy him and theyâ??ll enjoy his offense. Heâ??s got a plan. Heâ??s been in playoff games, heâ??s been in Super Bowls. Heâ??s done it all. His legacy is one that he knows how to win games.â?ť

2D rendering slowdown on suspend (NVIDIA NVS 140M, Thinkpad R61)

Re: 2D rendering slowdown on suspend (NVIDIA NVS 140M, Thinkpad R61)
CPU speed remains the same; as I said, actual system performance is unchanged, only the video drawing speed in X changes. For example, text apps perform as they should over an SSH connection, but just trying to run top in konsole will slow the system to a crawl in X locally after a suspend.
Restarting X fixes the problem after suspend -- there is no need to reload or unload the module, though doing so and then restarting X does not affect the appearance of the behavior on the next suspend to RAM. Unfortunately having to reload X basically defeats the purpose of suspending :- /
Although I don't know much about the nvidia driver, it's like it's going into some kind of low power state during the suspend and then not coming out of it on resume, and the X reset fixes that. Thinking about CPU frequencies, I also checked the GPU frequencies with coolbits, and they also remain correct after the suspend.
Thank you for your response! Let me know if there is additional data or logs that would be helpful. This is the latest release of X, but I can build X from development sources if that would help eliminate sources of problems.

The success of the Southeastern Conference is worth bragging about at every opportunity.
As far as the first weekend of football goes, it doesn't get much better than what the SEC was able to accomplish out of the gate. The league doesn't appear to be ready to relinquish its standing as the toughest in the country.

I have been to a number of gyms and I have yet to find 2 leg press machines that offer the same feeling.
I recently changed gyms and have noticed a tremendous difference with the flite leg press at this gym. I can do less weight (about 180 lbs less) but it feels like its hitting an entirely different area of my quads.
Any one else get this?
Also this gym has those new FAT Olympic bars and I swear my forearms have grown because of them, they are certainly working a bit harder to hold on during bent rows.
The creed continues, change is good, keep them guessing!

Halloween is over, which makes the timing just slightly off for Town Payers of Newtown's current production of Ira Levin's "Veronica's Room." Levin gained fame with his scary portrayal of New York's Dakota building in "Rosemary's Baby." But while that was a supernatural horror story involving congress with the Devil, "Veronica's Room," which came after that, deals with scary horror that is purely human in its origins — albeit sick human. If you like this sort of thing, it is an entertaining offering at The Little Theatre; but if you don't enjoy the psychologically gruesome, forewarned is forearmed. The show continues weekends until November 30.
It's hard to believe that quinoa, the "super food," has only now been recognized as the powerhouse nutritional food that it is. The United Nations General Assembly selected 2013 as the "International Year of Quinoa." But this quasi-grain (more closely related to spinach and beets than it is to any of the grassy grains) has been feeding people in Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia for thousands of years and has been making its way into the international marketplace for decades. As a matter of fact, nearly 30 years ago, the natural food store I shopped at stocked this "new" grain, and we began cooking with it. Because quinoa is one of the few grain-like foods that is a complete protein, it had great appeal to the many vegans and vegetarians we knew. Not only that, it looked cool, the tiny, cream-colored seeds turning nearly see-through, with a little white spiral outside, when cooked; and it was delicious.
About 250 grass carp are now silently swimming in the waters of Taunton Lake, the scenic 125-acre spring-fed, glacial lake in the Taunton District whose waters drain into Pond Brook and eventually to the Housatonic River. The grass carp, which are not native to the lake, recently were released into it as part of a project designed to curb the growth of the weed known as aquatic milfoil. Grass carp eat milfoil. Taunton Lake has remained a relatively clean water body over the years due to its limited access and because only a fraction of its shoreline has been residentially developed. In 2007, however, testing indicated that the lake had become infested with aquatic milfoil, an invasive weed that has entered many lakes and ponds in North America. Locally, Lake Zoar, Lake Lillinonah and Candlewood Lake have heavy milfoil infestations.
The brown marmorated stink bug is flying, crawling, and piggy-backing its way into Fairfield County. The bark-colored, shield-shaped bug from Asia, about one-inch in length with long, segmented antennae, was first identified in Pennsylvania in 1998. Since then, it has made its way into at least 30 other states, where it spends the spring and summer months feasting on — and heavily damaging — fruit and vegetable crops. What makes it particularly pesty, as its numbers increase in an area, is its penchant for moving indoors during the cool months of September and October. While the stink bug does not damage homes as it overwinters, it will dart about, its little wings thrumming. Multiple invaders can be disturbingly disruptive.
A weekly profile of a local resident.
Newtown, from a cat's point of view.
A look back at Newtown 25, 50, 75, and 100 years ago.
"His smile was ear to ear!" exclaimed Dream Come True dream manager Kristie Perry, as she recalled the November 8 unveiling of Justin Bogdanoff's new "Boy Cave." Repainted in warm gold and a rich blue, with the Newtown High School Nighthawks logo dominating one wall, new bedding, cushy Yogi-bo couches on which to lounge in front of a 55-inch flat-screen television, with an Xbox gaming system and home theater system, and a mini-refrigerator, his new room reflected the 12-year-old Newtown boy's love — the Newtown Nighthawks — and was truly a dream come true.
Apples, apples, and more apples. Victory Garden Founder Harvey Pessin dropped his tailgate to reveal a truck bed filled with bagged apples. He and other Victory Garden volunteers made a trip to Washington, Conn. Wednesday, November 6, where a private property owner with more than 150 apple trees welcomed him and others to pick for free as many apples as they liked. "All we had to do was pick," he said. Estate crews in Washington were able to haul produce and load guests' vehicles.

These tyres have proved to be an excellent choice for my daily commute to work. They ride very smoohtly and have lots of grip. I wish I have tried them before. I recommend them for long or short commute.

The Cheetahs won their first match of the season through a commanding 29-14 victory over the Reds.
The visitors had fought back well after trailing 17-0 at the break, but the Cheetahs proved too strong in the end. JW Jonker wrapped up the win in emphatic fashion, scoring the bonus-point try right on the hooter.
It was a dream start by the Cheetahs, who shot to a 14-0 lead after just 10 minutes. They mixed the direct with the expansive successively, taking the correct options and exhibiting exemplary skill to finish their opportunities.
An excellent chip by Meyer Bosman forced Reds winger Clinton Schifcofske to carry the ball over his own tryline, gifting the Cheetahs the perfect attacking platform. No 8 Duanne Vermeulen picked up from a subsequent ruck and shifted it to captain Rory Duncan, who proved unstoppable from point-blank range.
Vermeulen was also involved in the second try, showing some good pace and skill to unleash Jonker down the touchline. Jonker may have had his problems on defence prior to this fixture, but he's always looked the part on attack, and the Cheetahs No 13 hit the perfect line to confuse the Reds markers before offloading to Bosman. Bosman had Jonghi Nokwe flying on his outside, but had enough pace to get over himself.
As expected, the Cheetahs had the better of the hosts in the set-pieces, and the breakdown was another area where the hosts held ascendancy. Many a Reds attack was culled through a great steal on the deck, and although they did concede a few free-kicks, Vermeulen and Heinrich Brussouw were in dominant form.
The boots of Potgieter and fullback Hennie Daniller were also significant. They played a clever territorial game knowing their forwards would front up in the subsequent set-piece. Potgieter had an outstanding all-round game with the boot, nailing some difficult conversions and hitting a great drop-goal to give the Cheetahs a commanding 17-0 lead just before the break.
The Reds suffered a double blow when Wallabies Chris Latham and Sam Cordingley left the field before half-time. The Cheetahs came out the shed as hungry as before and it didn't take long for Vermeulen to receive just reward for his hard work. The space was created by the inside backs before Vermeulen popped up out wide, palmed off Van Humphries and surged for the corner.
The Cheetahs attack was never in question before this match, but the same couldn't be said for their defence. On this occasion, the tackling was outstanding and repelled many a Reds attack. Their great work at the breakdown complemented a strong defensive effort, as they never merely kept the Reds out, but often turned defence into attack.
The Reds began to gain more possession and finally got on the scoreboard in the 54th minute. Replacement Charlie Fetoai finished off well and when Schifcofske had his first attempt at goal, he didn't disappoint.
The Cheetahs regained control, but a potential turning point arrived when CJ van der Linde was yellow-carded for a cleaning infringement at the ruck. Fetoai picked up his second try when the Cheetahs were stretched out wide. A great touchline conversion by Schifcofske brought the Reds closer at 24-14.
Drotske would have been experiencing feelings of deja vu, as the Reds began to grow in confidence and find more holes in the Cheetahs defence. Fortunately, for the hosts, they kept the Reds out for the remainder of Van der Linde's absence, and on his return, began driving for the bonus point.
A couple of forward passes thwarted two try-scoring opportunities, but the Cheetahs never stopped trying. The ball went loose and was hacked ahead by Jonker, who received a kind bounce and raced through to collect the fourth try.
This first win elevates the Cheetahs to 11th place on the Super 14 log. Any chance of making the play-offs has long since evaporated, but the central franchise will want to improve on last year's 11th-place finish.
Cheetahs - Tries: Rory Duncan, Meyer Bosman, Duanne Vermeulen, JW Jonker. Conversions: Jacques-Louis Potgieter (3). Drop-goal: Potgieter.
Reds – Tries: Charlie Fetoai (2). Conversions: Clinton Schifcofske (2).

Griffin v. Sirva, Inc., et al., No. 11-CV-1844 (MKB) (E.D.N.Y. May 29, 2014): Plaintiffs, who were residential movers, alleged that their employer unlawfully terminated their employment due to criminal convictions for sex offenses in violation of the New York State Human Rights Law (NYSHRL). Under Article 23A of the New York Correction Law, employers are required to conduct an assessment of eight factors prior to taking an adverse employment action based on a previous criminal conviction. Those factors include the amount of time elapsed since the offense, the seriousness of the offense, and the age of the person at the time the offense occurred. In moving for summary judgment, the plaintiffs argued that their employer's failure to conduct an individualized analysis as required by Article 23A was a per se violation of the NYSHRL. The court disagreed. Although it was undisputed that the employer did not evaluate the required factors, the court found that "it does not follow that a violation of the [New York Correction Law] is a per se violation of the NYSHRL." Instead, the court evaluated whether the employer would have terminated the plaintiffs had it applied the factors. That analysis required an inquiry of disputed facts and therefore the plaintiffs' summary judgment motion was denied.
This decision demonstrates that an employer's failure to consider the factors enumerated in Article 23A of the New York Correction Law prior to taking an adverse employment action may not necessarily be discriminatory. However, employers should keep in mind that the decision was rendered on the plaintiffs' summary judgment motion and therefore under a favorable standard to the employer's defense. Further, under the court's reasoning, a jury must independently evaluate the factors to determine if they would have been applied correctly had the employer done so. Employers should therefore continue to review and carefully document their consideration of Article 23A prior to making any employment decisions based upon applicants or employees' prior criminal history.

North Korea crisis: How did it come to this?
More News from Agence France-Presse
WASHINGTON—Tensions have soared in recent weeks over North Korea, which has threatened a nuclear strike against the United States and has allegedly moved missiles to its east coast.
The latest crisis erupted when North Korea fired a long-range rocket on December 12 that splashed down near the Philippines. Pyongyang said it was a peaceful satellite launch and US experts acknowledge that the regime put a small object into orbit.
The United States and its allies said that the launch was aimed at developing ballistic missile capabilities and moved at the United Nations to tighten sanctions. North Korea voiced anger and carried out its third nuclear test on February 12, defying even its main ally China.
The UN Security Council on March 7 unanimously approved new sanctions that include greater scrutiny of shady financial dealings by the impoverished regime.
North Korea had warned of consequences for the UN vote and afterward renounced a 1953 armistice that ended the Korean War and declared itself at war with the US-allied South.
North Korea's military has said it has final approval for a nuclear strike on the United States.
Experts know little about North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, who is believed to be in his late 20s and who succeeded his father Kim Jong-Il in December 2011.
North Korea has indicated that it wants recognition as a nuclear weapons state — seen as a guarantor of the regime's survival. The United States has refused.
Some experts believe North Korea is operating from a playbook of steadily upping the ante and had planned out actions to coincide with the inauguration of conservative South Korean President Park Geun-Hye.
The United States and South Korea are carrying out their annual "Foal Eagle" exercises through April after starting them in March. North Korea regularly denounces the tests as a preparation for war, but tensions have been especially high this year.
The United States took the unprecedented step of announcing a test run by its nuclear-capable B-2 bombers. US officials said the step was meant to reassure South Korea, but Pyongyang voiced outrage and US peace activists called the move provocative.
The United States has also sent to South Korea its stealth F-22 jets, moved two destroyers to nearby waters and — in response to North Korean threats against US bases — sent a missile defense battery to its Pacific territory of Guam.
North Korea is seen as capable of attacking South Korea and Japan, but experts doubt it can strike the United States with the possible exception of Guam.
The Arms Control Association research group estimates that North Korea's Rodong-1 missile has a range of 1,300 kilometers (800 miles). The Musadan theoretically has a range of 3,000-4,000 kilometers (1,900-2,500 miles), but North Korea has never tested it.
The United States stations 28,500 troops in South Korea and around 50,000 in Japan. It also keeps nearly 6,000 troops in Guam, a base for fighter-bombers and submarines, and 50,000 troops in Hawaii.
More than 40 US Navy vessels are permanently based in the Pacific with plans to increase the number as part of a growing US focus on Asia.
The Yokosuka base south of Tokyo is home to the USS George Washington aircraft carrier, two cruisers and seven destroyers. The USS John Stennis aircraft carrier is temporarily in Singapore on its way back from a mission in the Gulf.
Most experts consider North Korea's threats to be bluster but warn of the potential for miscalculations to blow up.
Stanford University's Siegfried Hecker, to whom North Korea revealed a uranium enrichment facility in 2010, doubted that Pyongyang would use nuclear weapons even if it could as such a step would "result in a devastating military response and would spell the end of the regime."
Still, North Korea has a history of taking action around April 15, the 101st birth anniversary of the regime's founder Kim Il-Sung, grandfather of Kim Jong-Un.

Overcrowded rat colonies lead to social breakdown and degeneracy. But are humans the same?
Individuals can be heroic, even God-like, but crowds are animals. Put us in the plural and we become a herd, a rat race, a swarm of worker bees. Groups apparently behave worse, too: at the end of last year, the London Assembly published a report describing how commuters on the packed (sardine-like, if you will) subway system adopted a "dog-eat-dog" attitude. One passenger told researchers, "I'm a different animal on the tube to normal life. I'm not me." The history of how crowds got such a bad name is a long one. We could point to the coming of urbanisation and mass democracy, or the damning theories of groupthink laid out by Freud, and Mussolini's favourite psychologist Gustave Le Bon. The most intriguing contribution of all, however, comes from John Calhoun and his experiments on rats.
As a scientist for the U.S. government from the 1950s to the 1980s, Calhoun was obsessed with testing the psychological effects of crowding. Out in the Maryland countryside, he created a "rodent universe": room-sized pens amply stocked with food, water and bedding. The only restriction Calhoun put on his rats and mice was space — and as they rapidly bred, the "rat utopias" turned into lab versions of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Young male rats formed gangs that preyed on females. Mothers abandoned their babies, then attacked them. Some rats mounted any animal they could. Cleaning the pens, Calhoun's assistants would find discarded rodent skins turned inside out — the creature within had been eaten whole.
All those who saw urban overcrowding as leading to degeneracy could now claim science was on their side. Calhoun would himself begin papers by quoting Malthus's view that "vice and misery impose the ultimate natural limit on the growth of populations." Plenty had been written about how too many people led to the misery of food shortages and disease — but the psychologist had found proof of how it also created a "behavioural sink" of vice.
As a result, he'd also found international renown. In a recent paper titled "Escaping the Laboratory: the Rodent Experiments of John B Calhoun and their Cultural Influence," historians Ed Ramsden and Jon Adams chart how their subject's reputation took off, with his arguments reported in newspapers and quoted frequently by politicians, architects and urban planners.
Those rat cities and rodent tower blocks also entered the popular culture with almost viral ease. J.G. Ballard set a novel, High Rise, in a 40-storey development in London's Docklands where the residents descend into barbarism. The creators of the Judge Dredd comic strip acknowledge Calhoun's influence in the depiction of their lawless "megalopolis," Mega City One.
Yet the argument that simply putting lots of humans in close proximity to each other leads to social breakdown has never stacked up. The well-heeled inhabitants of Park Avenue's apartment blocks don't live in the scientist's dystopia; in South Central LA, on the other hand, lack of space isn't a problem, but lack of money is.
Still, the rat experiments have a symbolic power that far outstrips their usefulness. Ramsden and Adams were approached recently by TV producers about a programme on Calhoun. At one point, the proposal was for a human re-enactment of the rat experiments, to pack lots of them in a mini-city. But what, asked the academics, if the subjects began killing each other? The idea swiftly died, but the producers were on to something; Calhoun's experiments are about as close as mainstream science comes to reality television. — © Guardian Newspapers Limited, 2010

Did you have a problem with that handoff?
Second, if you have a HDTV and an inexpensive external antenna, you can stay in touch with this world just fine, minus the $1,200+ annual hit on the pocket for cable/dish. It IS 2012...that is the point and many households struggle to keep ahead of the bills. Have you not been following the news on your favorite cable news show?
Time to get off your high horse, my friend!
What high horse?
If you don't have cable, the internet, or a friend that has either, I don't really know what to say...I feel like it's nearly impossible in modern America to not have access to one of those three things.
As for the transfer to ABC, it's fine for the NBA Finals. They get huge ratings, it's a hugely popular sport in America, the games never run more than 3 hours, and it's in Primetime in the US. It's an entirely different thing than tennis coverage, which has multiple events that could run anywhere from 2 hours total to 8 hours total (like today).
Imagine if ABC had the women's final today, and ESPN had nothing. We wouldn't have seen either doubles final, because ABC would have moved to regular Saturday programming in lieu of more tennis.
I'm 100% fine with the system as is. If that makes me heartless and on a high horse, then so be it.

Theres no attack of oppertunities in the game aswell as no flanking both with play a HUGE part in combat. The game also lacks any type of movement control ingeneral, they try to force the player to not move by giving him a -4 to hit if moving during combat but that doesn't exsist in D&D at all, plus the NPCs are not affected by this rule or any PC rule (they have no limit to cast, movement or attacks (arrow counts)).
I have been testing the game for acouple months (in closed beta) and there have been many complaints about much that has been missing in the game. I kept getting BS excuses about flanking (like it would cause too much stress on the servers even though almost every MMO has some form of flanking and they aren't as instanced).
The game is also very shallow, theres no aligenments or dieties coming into play so theres only a single way to play the game.
But after saying all that I can't deny its not fun. I have been having a blast but no matter how much fun I had I cant say it feels like D&D, not one bit. I do love how the dungeons allow for more interaction like traps (though very flawed) and sneaking (flawed aswell) but combat just feels very bad and not at all like D&D.
I do have alot of D&D experiance, I play every week with my roommate and friends, I have been playing for about 7 or so years and my roommate has been playing for about 20+ years (he's older then me).
I never siad that it followed every single D&D rule to a T, heck I never siad it even followed all the D&D rules. But go find me and MMORPG that ever promised everything right out of the box? Give them time, and I'm sure you'll see more and more rules and skills being implemented. But they only have so much time, and can only offer so much before it just becomes a cluttered piece of crap.
When I meant it follows D&D, I meant that it captured that level of enjoyment I had when playing the PnP with friends. No it's not perfect, but some things just wouldn't make sense. I mean do you want to play an MMORPG were your penalized for possibly moving in combat? You have to remember that while they are probably trying to apease die hard D&D fans, they also have to apeal to non-D&D fans. Or else, fans like me will have nothing because they game won't be supported souly by D&D fans. Especially considering no matter how hard they try capturing the D&D PnP spirit to a T is hard. Single or Multi player games alike.
So no, it's not %100 PnP D&D. But it's gotta be one of the more unique and fun MMO's I've played in a while. And yes, it did help bring back old memories past of sitting around with friends bashing in monsters heads, and then joking about it afterwards in the tavern.
So yes, it could have some major improvements, and who knowsmaybe they will add some of the missing elements later.
Some of the PnP D&D rules make sense when your just rolling die, but would make for a compleley boring time in a game. I mean think about it, you really think any one surrounded by Kobolds would sit and not move? It's part of the reason probably why no ones tried a D&D online game. Because there never gonna make it 100% like the PnP experience. But I will still say Turbine did a damned good job!!

FRIDAY, Jan. 18 (HealthDay News) -- With flu widespread throughout the United States this season, businesses need to prepare to deal with productivity challenges, a doctor advises.
"An organization can be severely impacted by people coming to work when they're sick," Dr. Mary Capelli-Schellpfeffer, medical director of Loyola University Health System Occupational Health Services, said in a health system news release.
"We know illness can spread from person to person, causing entire work groups to be affected. But less obvious is how job performance, organization, productivity, creativity and financial stability can all be affected," she added.
Worker illness can reduce productivity by causing a distraction and leading the sick employees and colleagues to focus on the illness instead of their jobs.
"Encourage employees who are sick to use their sick time. Some don't know they have it because they've never had to use it," Capelli-Schellpfeffer said. "Put a plan in place now so if you have a deadline there are procedures in place -- like how to work from home. By making small changes, we can protect each other and our businesses."
She offered the following tips to help businesses protect themselves from a flu outbreak:
