Contour Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery CenterRead MoreContour Dermatology bolsters patients struggling with friction-inducing strands and stubble with safe, comfortable laser hair-removal techniques. Over the course of three sessions, medically trained staffers teleport black or brunette fuzz from the face or body to a far-off galaxy by aiming a low-energy GentleLase beam at follicular bases. Charged particles carry enough energy to blast away the melanin inside errant bristles but leave the surrounding skin healthy and unharmed. Like planning a date for your parents, the procedure can be slightly uncomfortable, so technicians employ a cool laser tip, gel, or spray to soothe the skin and help spare nerves undue unpleasantness. Most complexions are acceptable candidates for laser hair removal, but clients with a very dark complexion may be subject to a spot test to ensure effective treatment. Clients need three to six sessions on average to impede ill-placed tufts during the active phase of each follicle's growth cycle.42 Vista Mirage WayRancho Mirage, CA US

Holy Crap is kind of an understatement. I imagine the pilot had more than that to sy.lol
christ that was close, pilot musta been bloody scared after that, what the hell was the cameraman doing
I'd have been moving.lol
that was an amazing video, a tad bit spooky if you ask me...I mean it came ever so close to the person shooting the video, for one, and for two, it was amazing that there were 'no injuries' to any of the occupants on board. I must protest though. WHY DID YOU CONDUCT AN INTERVIEW WITH FOX NEWS? :( That station is THE WORST station on TV. If you had done an interview with MSNBC, CNN, or even CBS, I would've been happy! :D LOL, just kidding (sort of). I DO HATE Fox News though. Again, I'm so happy no one got hurt. I'm guessing the videographer had to change his pants after that low take off though.
Funny, I've never seen a single vidio on the tube. Is it just me?
Lots of old vidios on the tube find something new.

Even excluding the over 100 temples in the Angkor Wat complex, there is a great deal to see and do in and around the town. Visits to other religious monuments, markets, Tonle Sap Lake with its floating villages, the Angkor National Museum, the Cultural Village, bird-watching, yoga and cooking classes, environmental tours, countryside tours and much more make Siem Reap a tourist paradise.
The small but fast-growing Cambodian provincial capital of Siem Reap is one of the world's major tourist destinations due to its location as gateway to the unique Khmer temple complex of Angkor Wat, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The town of Siem Reap is a shopaholics' dream, particularly for Cambodian silks and other textiles. Handicrafts, contemporary art, carvings, decorative items for the home, silver items, traditional stone carvings and lacquerware, incense, candles, souvenirs and clothes are also a great deal.
The Khmer people are traditionally friendly to Westerners, perhaps because of the country's 90 years as a French protectorate. The recent explosion in the number of tourists visiting the area has also had an effect, with more local people working in the hospitality sector making the effort to learn English.
As the town has expanded, so has the eating out experience in Siem Reap. Nowadays restaurants cover everything from local Khmer dishes through Southeast Asian cuisines to upscale and high quality fusion and international food. A few restaurants, mainly expensive, serve interesting food which mixes French gastronomic traditions with Khmer cuisine.
Visitors to Siem Reap are spoiled for choice as regards entertainment. Whether it's the lively nightlife in Siem Reap's numerous bars and clubs, cultural performances, art galleries, sport, educational sites, spas, massages, eco-tourism or traditional events, there's something for everyone somewhere in the town and its surroundings.

Cloverleaf Family BowlRead MoreIt would be hard for many citizens of Fremont to remember a time before Cloverleaf Family Bowl. David and Marian Hillman opened the center back in 1963, and it's been a destination for friendly competition ever since. That's not to say there haven't been some changes over the years. Today, Cloverleaf Family Bowl features automatic bumpers on each of its 44 lanes, HD televisions in the sports lounge, and a special glow-bowling event that takes over the entire facility with more fog, lights, and music than you could find in even the grooviest swamp. These games can stretch well into the evening (the center stays open until 2 a.m. every day), but there are plenty of reasons to stick around besides bowling. Saturdays mean karaoke, although any visit can include a game of pool or a trip to the pizza and food court, which serves up everything from breakfast pizzas to late-night burgers. That extra boost of caloric energy just might be the deciding factor in clenching the top score in one of Cloverleaf's many tournaments—which they host for kids, adults, and senior citizens.40645 Fremont Blvd.Fremont, CA US
Bel Mateo BowlRead MoreBel Mateo Bowl, home to 24 newly-installed Murrey synthetic alleys, fully automatic scoring, brilliant LCD monitors, and automated bumper bowling, provides family-friendly pin pulverizing seven days a week. Black-lit lanes illuminate bowling balls as they travel down the center's slick alleys during Planet Bowl, held each Friday and Saturday evening and fueled by colorful lights, upbeat tunes, and gravity. In addition to hosting leagues and bowling camps for kids, the colorful bowling center stocks a snack bar and serves drinks at a cocktail lounge punctuated by big-screen TVs. The alley's arcade room, complete with glowing air-hockey table, driving games, and pinball, hosts gaming kids and inner children alike, and karaoke on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday encourages lively covers of popular tunes and somber odes to fallen bowling pins.4330 Olympic AveSan Mateo, CA US
Castro Village BowlRead MoreCastro Village Bowl facilitates hours of pin-felling entertainment from early morning until late in the evening. The alley hosts 32 well-maintained lanes with automatic scoring machines and bumpers for bowlers under the age of 7. In addition to open hours, Castro Village Bowl provides league opportunities for children, adults, and families, finally giving parents the perfect justification for having named their daughter "Pin Crusher." A snack bar and full-service cocktail lounge is also available to provide refreshments for postgame celebrations.3501 Village DrCastro Valley, CA US
Earl Anthony's Dublin BowlRead MoreEarl Anthony's Dublin Bowl is an homage to champion bowler Earl Anthony, a six-time PBA Player of the Year and a member of the PBA and ABC Halls of Fame. Fittingly, Anthony's namesake bowling alley takes the sport as seriously as he did—it features 40 championship lanes, each equipped with Brunswick Vector automatic scoring to prevent players from having to borrow their neighbors' fingers and toes for adding purposes. In between games, players can wet their lips in the full-service bar, chow down on pizzas and sandwiches at the snack bar, and catch the game on the lounge's big screen TV. And, on Saturday nights, the lights drop and lasers flare during Solar Extreme bowl, a cosmic event that features a light show with music and videos, and rages until 1:30 a.m.6750 Regional St.Dublin, CA US
Manor BowlRead MorePeople have been tossing bowling balls down Manor Bowl's 30 lanes since 1960. Open daily, the bowling center fills its lanes with leagues vying for the top spot, as well as groups of friends, families, and couples out for the night. A special youth program leads kids through 10 weeks of bowling with fun dress-up days and weekly awards such as Most Improved and Best Smelling Bowling Ball. The center's designated party room refuels partygoers with pizza and pop in between rounds of bowling, and sends them off with T-shirts and souvenir bowling pins.887 Manor BlvdSan Leandro, CA US

Product description
Israel Shahak was a remarkable man. Born in the Warsaw ghetto and a survivor of Belsen, Shahak arrived in Israel in 1945. Brought up under Jewish Orthodoxy and Hebrew culture, he consistently opposed the expansion of the borders of Israel from 1967. In this extraordinary and highly acclaimed book, Shahak embarks on a provocative study of the extent to which the secular state of Israel has been shaped by religious orthodoxies of an invidious and potentially lethal nature. Drawing on the Talmud and rabbinical laws, Shahak argues that the roots of Jewish chauvinism and religious fanaticism must be understood before it is too late. Written from a humanitarian viewpoint by a Jewish scholar, this is a rare and highly controversial criticism of Israel that will both excite and disturb readers worldwide.

Author information
Israel Shahak was a resident of the Warsaw Ghetto and a survivor of Bergen-Belsen. He arrived in Palestine in 1945 and lived there until his death in 2001. He was an outspoken critic of the state of Israel and a human rights activist. He was also the author of the highly acclaimed Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel (Pluto Press 1999) and Jewish History, Jewish Religion (Pluto Press 1994).
Review quote
Shahak subjects the whole history of Orthodoxy ... to a hilarious and scrupulous critique. -- Christopher Hitchens, The Nation The voice of reason is alive and well, and in Israel, of all places. Shahak is the latest - if not the last - of the great prophets. -- Gore Vidal The future of the Palestinian people would have looked much brighter if there had been more Israelis like Shahak ... An outstanding personality. -- The Jerusalem Times

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

"After visiting Maui a few years back and staying at Honua Kai, my husband and I wanted to find a similar place to stay while visiting Kauai. This condo ended up being amazing!! From the initial emails and quick responses from the owner (Laura), to the booking process was easy. After final payment, our room access code was sent to us. Check-in was a breeze. The condo location on the property was amazing. Far from the main road so you don't get the road noise, a beautiful ocean view, a nice view of the interior property grounds (pool, etc) and a short walk form the parking lot. I was amazed that a resort of this size never felt crowded. Most days there were a hand full of people in and around the pool area and lots of parking spots available. The condo itself was well furnished with the normal household kitchen item, along with many miscellaneous items. (Beach chairs, large beach towels, cooler, etc) It was easy to find upon arrival and spotless when we walked in. Its location in Kauai worked perfectly for us as it was in a central location. Every day we could easily go exploring to the north or south and not have to drive for hours. Directly across the street are two grocery stores and lots of other small stores as well. This made it easy for us to make quick trips to grab groceries without having to go out of the way. Overall, of visiting Kauai again, I would stay here in a heartbeat."Guest: missy Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: May 13, 2015View listing
"We enjoyed watching sunrises on the beach. Our first morning while watching the sunrise we saw whales breaching. There is a five mile bike/walk path just steps away from the resort. Several restaurants within walking distance as well as local shops. We enjoyed the various farmers markets. The shopping plaza across the street was very convenient. Our condo had a wonderful kitchen and was well stocked. The staff at the resort were helpful and friendly. The pool area and grounds were well kept. Dinner at the Oasis was perfect. We hope to make a return trip."Guest: Shelley S. Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: May 1, 2015View listing
"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Excellent Condo. Great Property. Conveniently Located to everywhere we wanted to go on the island. The only minor complaints about the unit were the spotty internet and TV service. Our computers are new Macs and do not have ports to use the available ethernet connections and the wifi that was provided was very very spotty. The TV service was standard def and TV's very old, so TV was hard to watch. But we weren't really there to watch TV so it was fine."Guest: Martin C.

The kitchen was beautiful although we didn't cook much, we WERE on vacation :) The bedrooms/bathrooms were extremely roomy! I will def. be back and I will most certainly book this condo again. We were more than satisfied with our accommodations and I was very impressed with the professionalism when dealing with Pattick and Sherry!

2013 Syracuse Offense
2013 Syracuse Defense
2013 Syracuse Depth Chart
What You Need To Know:
The Syracuse D was just average a year ago. Average isn't going to cut it for the Orange, especially as the team starts play as a member of the ACC. Now that Scott Shafer has been promoted to head coach, he needed to find a replacement for himself at defensive coordinator, a job that went to Chuck Bullough, who wants to dictate the tempo, much the way Shafer did when he was an assistant. Applying pressure, though, could require blitzes from the linebackers and safeties, because the ends are unproven and relatively untested. The Orange, in fact, has concerns on the perimeter of the secondary as well, lacking the stoppers to shut down opposing quarterbacks. The strength of this defense will be up the middle, where the tackles are stout, and the linebackers play with the desired range. At 6-4 and 290 pounds, unit leader Jay Bromley is by far the smallest defensive tackle on the two-deep. Dyshawn Davis and Marquis Spruill will once again set the tone from the second level, flying all over the field in order to leave an imprint on the offense.
Returning Leaders
Tackles: Dyshawn Davis, 69
Sacks: Cameron Lynch, 4
Interceptions: Keon Lyn, 3
Star of the defense:
Junior LB Dyshawn Davis
Player who has to step up and become a star:
Junior DE Trevon Trejo
Unsung star on the rise:
Sophomore SS Durell Eskridge
Best pro prospect:
Senior DT Jay Bromley
Top three all-star candidates:
1) Davis, 2) Senior LB Marquis Spruill, 3) Bromley
Strength of the defense:
The tackles, linebacker, veterans in the secondary
Weakness of the defense:
The defensive ends, pass defense, yielding big plays
Defensive Line
Graduations and dismissals have the Orange rebuilding along the D-line for a second consecutive year. The 2012 edition got a big boost from the senior year of Brandon Sharpe, but is there another Sharpe on the 2013 roster? The group's new physical and emotional leader will be senior DT
Jay Bromley
. The 6-4, 290-pound third-year starter is moving off the nose for the first time in his career. He's improved every season with the program, and as a big man, he does a nice job of getting penetration. In 2012, Bromley collected 39 tackles, 5.5 stops for loss and 2.5 sacks.
Now that Bromley has vacated the nose, junior
Eric Crume
is poised to fill the opening. At 6-0 and 325 pounds, Crume can fill plenty of openings, using his leverage and lower body strength to become an immovable object on the interior. He started the Cincinnati game in 2012, winding up with 15 stops and a couple of tackles for minus yards.
The ends are going to be a concern in Upstate New York. It figures to be an important year for year Cleveland native
Micah Robinson
, who'll be given an opportunity to showcase all of his skills this fall. The 6-4, 273-pound junior lettered off the bench the last two seasons, making 18 tackles and 2.5 stops for minus yards in 2012. The biggest of the ends will be a key cog in run defense this season.
Robert Welsh
is hoping to become the smaller, quicker end for the Syracuse pass rush. The 6-3, 259-pounder appeared in 13 games a season ago, but was only in on four tackles. He'll need to continue honing his moves and working on his hand placement in order to remain atop the depth chart throughout 2013.
Hovering just behind the starting ends is 6-4, 256-pound redshirt freshman
Ron Thompson
, a convert from the offensive side of the ball. He arrived out of Michigan as a four-star tight end, but missed his rookie year to an injury. Thompson has a lot of natural ability that the coaching staff must now mold into a consistent and versatile defensive end prospect. The backups on the interior are a couple of beefy transfers, 6-4, 315-pound NT
Zian Jones
from West Los Angeles (Calif.) College and 6-5, 319-pound DT
John Raymon
from Iowa. Jones lettered for the Orange last season, coming off the bench for eight tackles.
Watch Out For …
the newcomers to challenge for playing time right away. The Orange signed a pair of three-star JUCO transfers, DE
Trevon Trejo
and DT
Wayne Williams
, both of whom are being counted on to fill slots on the depth chart. Trejo is a long and athletic pass rusher, who chose Syracuse over Michigan State.
Clogging running lanes. The Orange is going to feature considerable girth on the interior of the D-line, ideal for creating traffic jams for opposing running backs. Not only will Bromley and Crume be counted on as run-stuffers in the fall, but powerful backups Jones, Raymon and Williams will be as well.
Edge rushers. This is an area of gloominess that could hover around the defense right through the regular season. Robinson and Welsh are unproven, and not a single returning defensive end had more than two sacks a year ago. If Syracuse is forced to attack the pocket by unconventional means, some area of the back seven is going to suffer.
It's a tale of two disparate stories for the Orange D-line. On the one hand, the team is excited about its tackles, a deepening collection of wide-bodies eager to support the run defense. However, who is going to collapse the pocket from the flanks now that Chandler Jones and Brandon Sharpe have departed the last two years, respectively? Trejo is an intriguing addition, with a Jones-like frame and a great opportunity to become a first-year starter in the ACC.
Unit Rating:
If the Orange D survives wholesale changes this season, it'll likely be due to the play of the linebackers. Junior
Dyshawn Davis
has played well in his first two seasons out of high school, freelancing the field from his weakside position. The 6-2, 212-pounder is a nice all-around athlete from the outside, with the range and closing speed to make stops from sideline to sideline. Of his 69 tackles, 14 were for minus yards, an indication of his burst and instincts on running downs. Davis also recovered two fumbles and pick off his first career pass, laying the foundation for the second half of his career.
Next to Davis in the middle will be 6-1, 224-pound senior
Marquis Spruill
, one of the graybeards of the entire D. He's about to begin his fourth year as a starter after collecting a career-high 64 stops, nine tackles for loss and two sacks in 2012. Spruill plays tougher than his size might indicate, taking on and shedding much bigger blockers. He's also a regular candidate to be called upon on blitzes, timing his attack before exploding into the backfield. The Orange need No. 11's leadership and intensity on the field from start to finish this season.
Completing the starting unit from strongside is junior
Cameron Lynch
, a two-game starter in 2012 about to get promoted. Even when reps have been hard to come by, the 5-11, 234-pounder has shown a penchant for making plays behind the line, collecting 42 tackles and four sacks in 2012. Lynch is one of the team's hardest workers in the weight room, packing on more than 10 pounds of muscle since last season.
Behind Lynch at strongside is 6-1, 227-pound senior
Lewellyn Coker
. He's contributed on special teams and defense, earning three career letters, while topping out with nine tackles in 2012. At 6-2 and 253 pounds, junior
Luke Arciniega
, a first-year transfer from Sierra (Calif.) College, gives the Orange much-needed size and strength in the middle.
Watch Out For …
Lynch to fit right in. Yeah, he's a newcomer to the starting lineup, but it'll hardly be noticeable. The junior is smart, experienced and determined to prove he belongs in the same huddle with Davis and Spruill. Lynch has spent the last two seasons preparing for this chance to be a full-timer on defense.
Range and athleticism. At a base level, the Syracuse linebackers are simply really good athletes, who get off the snap in a hurry, and move with the lateral explosion of some safeties. From left to right, they cover ground in a hurry, which is going to benefit the pass defense as well as the run D.
Size. Being fast and nimble can sometimes come at a price. In the case of the Syracuse linebackers, they're noticeably small across the board, and will spend yet another offseason trying to pack on added muscle. The starters average about 6-1 and 220 pounds, which leaves them vulnerable when matched with physical opponents.
The 2013 defense is strongest at the second level … and it might not even be a close competition. Davis and Spruill are a couple of quality playmakers, roaming the field with speed, intensity and keen instincts. Lynch is not the typical newcomer to the starting lineup, something he'll prove very early in the season. The backups are mediocre, but that won't matter as long as the regulars can remain healthy from wire-to-wire.
Unit Rating:
The Orange is only missing one of last year's starters, but it's a key one, All-Big East SS Shamarko Thomas. Filling Thomas' large shoes this fall will be sophomore
Durell Eskridge
. No stranger to the field, the 6-3, 202-pound athlete started a pair of games at free safety in 2012, closing the year with 36 tackles, three stops for loss and a pair of sacks. While still a little raw, Eskridge has the size, speed and ferocity as a tackler to gradually bloom into a very productive defender.
Returning to free safety is 5-9, 189-pound senior
Jeremi Wilkes
, who has started 18 games over the last two seasons. The former cornerback plays bigger than his size, making 61 tackles in 2012, while finishing second on the team with 47 solo stops. Wilkes is one of the feisty leaders of the last line of defense.
Syracuse will be experienced at cornerback entering the 2013 season. Senior
Keon Lyn
has started 19 games since 2011, including 10 a year ago. The 6-1, 200-pounder has terrific size for the position, keeping him from getting outmuscled by bigger receivers. He also possesses the team's best cover skills, concluding his junior season by 46 tackles and team-highs with three interceptions and seven pass breakups.
Fellow senior
Ri'Shard Anderson
will be joining Lyn in the lineup at cornerback. Like Lyn, Anderson has also started 19 games over the past two seasons, including each contest in 2012. He's an agile 6-0, 189-pound defender who lacks consistency when the ball is in the air. Anderson chipped in 41 tackles last season, but had just one pick and a pair of pass breakups.
Anderson's biggest challenge at cornerback will come from 5-11, 185-pound junior
Brandon Reddish
, a quality cover guy to have in the rotation. The two-time letterwinner started three games last season, showcasing his playmaking ability by making 35 stops, 4.5 tackles for loss, one sack, a pick and two forced fumbles. Former corner
Wayne Morgan
lined up at free safety in the spring, and will back up Wilkes. The 5-10, 191-pound Morgan came off the bench to make 14 tackles in 2012. Challenging Eskridge at strong safety will be 5-11, 190-pound junior
Ritchy Desir
. Though built like a cornerback, Desir is a good open-field tackler who notched a career-high 24 stops in 2012.
Watch Out For …
Eskridge to not look like the lone new starter to the secondary. On pure physical ability alone, he ought to make a relatively smooth transition from reserve to starter in 2013. Eskridge looks the part, which is something he'll attempt to showcase to pro scouts over the next three seasons.
Leadership. The defensive backfield will have the luxury in 2013 of being led by three seniors, Lyn, Anderson and Wilkes. The presence of the trio, which has logged a lot of minutes in the Carrier Dome, is not only good for the starting secondary, but also the younger Orange players representing the future in 2014.
Coverage skills. It's a basic knock pertaining to a secondary, but it's a nagging issue that's dogged the program for the past few years. The Orange just gets burned too often through air, as evidenced by last year's results. Even when Thomas was still the warden on the last line of defense, Syracuse still finished near the bottom of the Big East in just about every category pertaining to pass D.
Syracuse labored to remain afloat as a member of the Big East. Life will not get any easier for the defensive backs as the program transitions to the ACC. The Orange is experienced and physical out of the secondary, but consistently blanketing opposing receivers is a problem. One silver lining for 2013 is that half of the team's on Syracuse's will be breaking in new hurlers.
Unit Rating:
Special Teams
Ross Krautman
may be the incumbent at placekicker, but that hasn't kept sophomore
Ryan Norton
from mounting a challenge this offseason. Krautman has been in charge for the last three years, connecting on 48-of-61 career field goals and all but three extra point attempts. However, his accuracy has steadily declined, from 95% as a rookie to 79% in 2011 and a disappointing 65% last fall. Plus, in 2012, Norton took control of kickoffs duties, averaging 61.2 yards.
Like Krautman, junior P
Jonathan Fisher
has been a special teams fixture, but needs to polish up his act in order to keep his job. The regular over the last two seasons averaged just 39.3 yards in 2011 and 38.4 yards a year ago. He did, however, improve his directional kicks, placing 18-of-53 inside the 20-yard line.
The Orange will continue its search for playmaking special teamers in the return game during the summer. Junior
Jeremiah Kobena
, senior
Steven Rene
and junior
Ritchy Desir
all contributed a year ago, but no one came close to impressing.
Watch Out For …
Norton to keep the pressure on Krautman throughout the summer. While the trend has not been good for the incumbent, the challenger has showed off his leg strength and improving accuracy since March. The fact that Krautman has held this job for three years won't guarantee much.
Depth at kicker. Krautman or Norton. Norton or Krautman. It doesn't really matter as long as the starter kicks with accuracy. At the end of the day, Syracuse is going to house more than one placekicker capable holding down this job.
The return game. The Orange was absolutely dreadful on returns last season, ranking 108th on punts and 106th on kickoffs. Now more ever, as a new quarterback is broken in, the offense will be pining for better field position and additional support from the special teamers.
The Orange staff will be busy this summer as it attempts to right the wrongs of a sketchy special teams unit. While the placekickers certainly have potential and experience, every other area of the group is underwhelming. Fisher needs more distance, and both the return games and coverage units are works in progress.

Presentation: Eclipse, Mylyn and the TFI
Negative economic times put significant pressure on productivity - IT is expected to do more with less. In this QCon San Francisco presentation, Mik Kersten discusses Mylyn, its features and productivity features, and how to utilize Mylyn frameworks when creating IDE, desktop, and server-side applications. This is a two-part presentation, with the first part focusing on MyLyn's ability to increase productivity, and the second on how to extend the Mylyn frameworks.
Mik examines the contents of a typical "developer toolbox:"
- a language that supports appropriate abstractions and scale
- a extensible framework and set of libraries
- an automated build system
- automated testing environment
- versioning system
- task tracking, project management system
and then compares how Eclipse and Mylyn provide this kind of toolbox and the relative effects on productivity.
Mik is the Mylyn lead, a member of the Eclipse Architecture Counsel, and President/CTO of Tasktop Technologies and he uses this background to pack a lot of information into Eclipse, Mylyn, and the TFI.

Well you have to give these guys some slack though. In just a short period of time they've been hit by a lot of change.
Many games trying to get rid of or limit the trinity.
Many games favoring more action oriented combat over tab targeting.
Many games focusing on more flexibility in play making it viable to both solo and group.
Many games trying to find ways to get rid of the quest hubs.
Many games have tried to stray from the high fantasy thats become a staple.
Many games reevaluating their business models and going f2p or more recently b2p rather than the traditional pay to play.
In a very short period of time MMOs development focus has fundamentally changed. They've even had to deal with 2 shooter MMOs come out recently. Defiance coming out and getting the attention it has while being so vastly different and embodying all the changes at once is the equiviliant of getting smacked in the nads.
The game has issues and doesn't deserve an 8 or 9 score currently but does deserve a solid 6.5 to 7 in its current state. Those playing know this and have no issue with that. As long as these things get ironed out soon and we continue to have fun who cares what those getting all worked up about it have to say. Its fun to price ratio is through the roof, few games launched in the past few years can claim that.

I picked up this title a few days ago myself along with the season pass, so far im enjoying the game alot. There are some aspects i would like to see improve, IE: more variety in events and better itemization, as well as improving the social features in the game but beyond that im having alot of fun. I think as a foundation and basic launch in time this game will get alot of tlc from the devs. The future is bright for this game have faith :)

This is a page about MMORPGS, mostly on PCs.
Defiance is a console-shooter. There you have your answer.
With Defiance I think like this, I love shooters they are my main love in gaming. If it has guns and involves shooting in either first or third person I probably own the game. Defiance is a competent shooter on it's own, full stop. It aspires to be in multiplayer terms what Borderlands(2) is as a single player/coop game, shoot and loot. What is lacks compared to Borderlands is the unique art style and whacky sense of humor. It's more serious but then it's also linked to a TV drama which in turn involves makeup effects, props etc. You can't be too zany, unless you want everything to be CGI.
It has a large open world, not instanced to the hilt. You can get on/in your vehicle and drive around without waiting for load screens. It has all the characteristics of an MMO, in perhaps a rudimentary form, but they are there. In terms of acting like an MMO it has it's shortfalls, but where it excels is with cooperation. Defiance is a cooperative experience. Whether you like it or not even if you solo the game, at some point somebody is going to impact on one of your quests. You don't have a choice, somebody rolls up following the same quest line you end up doing the quest together. You have to cooperate, you don't have much of a choice unless you want to abandon the quest.
Most importantly Defiance is Fun, yes with a capital F. It's not the best game in the world by any means, but it's fun to play. Whether it's the squishy sound the hellbugs make when you squash them, or getting some good air on your roller as you jump the crest of a hill. That fun might have a limited timespan depending on your liking of shooters. But you have other stuff to do, coop maps, shadow wars, team deathmatch, contracts, goals, races, hotshots, challenges etc. But it's shallow fun and to an extent mindless fun. But hell this is a game, it's suppose to give you enjoyment.
As for the hate, scratch beneath the surface on that one. Who is this game impacting on in terms of users at the moment? Perhaps a rival MMO - that most of the haters seem to play. I saw Defiance at number 3 in the UK charts the other day, below Bioshock Infinite and Tomb Raider. Just checked again it's up to number 2 on one chart. Sales figures don't lie - if something is selling it's selling for a good reason.

It's very fun game and I'm glad I picked it up. Darkfall is down for maintenance, so it's a perfect time to jump into Defiance for a bit of quick action.

Honestly, I dunno about all the 'hate', but I know that most of the negative criticism comes from the game being a buggy, clunky, average MMO with solid shooting mechanics.
Even most of the negative reviews mention that the shooting in the game is fun, and that it can still be an enjoyable game. They just caviat it by pointing out that the game is objectively sub-par or average in most ways.
No game is perfect, they all have flaws. People should be more comfortable with enjoying games inspite of all that, and stop trying to demand that everyone else be okay with the same choices.
- Heck I'm enjoying games like Bioshock: Infinite, inspite of it having fairly lackluster game mechanics. There are other games I've had fun with that have gotten far worse reviews. Some games just register enough with our own personal tastes that we are willing to look passed the flaws.

Seems fairly timid around here compared to other game launches. Not really seeing "the hate" for this game.
Unless once again some are including anyone that simply thinks the game is okay or has some issues with the game as being a hater. Not that anyone ever does that around here mind you....
1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical.
2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself.
3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose.

there is basically no logical reason to have the pc version use the concsole version's chat and interface, but time and money.
hell, it even showed me the controles on a controler layout, even tho my pad ain't plugged in and i was playing only via mouse and keyboard.

Pretty much this. Games are routinely ripped to shreds and declared insta-failures that don't have a fraction of the problems Defiance launched with, and still has even now.
That aside, it would be helpful if the OP pointed out some examples of this hate, because personally I'm not seeing it. Compared to what WoW, ToR, even the much-sainted GW2 routinely get, I'm confused as to where this hate is.
Mediocre reviews? Yeah, consistently and across the board. Indifference? Yeah, a whole lot of 'Meh'. But hate? Unless you define 'hate' as 'criticising something I like', Defiance would seem to be one of the least hated -- for that matter, least talked about, at least around here -- newly released MMOs in quite some time.

yep. the traditional MMO fans who hate to see MMOness being applied to non-RPG games are really feeling threatened by all the variety thats starting to appear. they are concerned that they won't have such a wide variety of choices of THEIR types of games anymore, and they are correct to some degree.
its a frightening new MMO landscape for them.

It is always the players from rival games spreading hate or critics not getting paid enough to write bad reviews. Such a black and white way of looking at things.
Is it really that hard to accept that game has flaws and that is why people are disappointed or negative about it? but i guess it is easier to blame it on all 'rival' MMO players and 'un paid critics' to justify the low ratings and disappointment than to actually accept that Defiance in its current state has lots of shortcomings and that Trion has their work cut out for them.
But hey why take words of 'rival' players just trying to spread the 'hate'... take word of the main in charge himself.
Originally posted by Bigdaddy
Who isn't accepting the game has flaws? From what I have seen people are pretty much open about this game. It has issues, if anything people view it more as a seed from which something interesting might grow. It's an average game but has an above average scope. But all of that doesn't hide the fact that relationship management goes on and is prevalent in forums such as this. That's what people are hired to do, big up one game and belittle the competition. Stay blinkered if you want, like the management here, but it's happening.

I am also very meh about this game.I think it was released to soon due to the tiem constraints forced upon it by the collaboration with the T.V show.
I think it's content is very repetitive even the story missions,more so than msot MMORPGs which are by nature repetitive.Again I think this is because of time constraints as is the small world available and the what to em are slightly off controls that need tightening and a better PC UI.
However seeing what TRion did with Rift I'm confident that more varied content and more world is in the works and that this game will drastically improve in said contwent and QOL issues.
Once it does I will re visit my purchase decision.
EDIT : Hey I just noticed I broke 1000 posts!!!It amy of taken me 4 times as long as most people but I got there!!!!

As far as I have seen, this game hase very little actual hate, there is some dislike and negativity, but very little hate, if any.
Actually, being mmorpg.com of later years, the lack of actual hate is either a fantastic bonus or a crippling testimony.
As in most people recognise that for the game it is, it is a good game, or as in to few people care to actually "hate" on it.
Myself I enjoy it, but I realise the shortcomings of it as well.
Now do not kill me but I kind of liked the show as well, shallow as it was at this point.
But I would like to game to reflect at least some of the show, it is 100% combat.
The show however seems to be a lot about politics, deceit, and a LOT of cloak and dagger.
The show I hope will unravel a intricate world with strong characters.
The game seems very very 1 dimensional.
Do not get me wrong, I like that, it is good for a 30 minute steam blow-of.
But if either of them will survive, they need to involve us in the story.
I wonder if you honestly even believe what you type, or if you live in a made up world of facts.

Wanna know why? Because "Five Guys Burgers & Fries" just opened up in Norfolk. The picture above is of the store front of the new Ghent location. I snapped it with my iPhone over the weekend. You can see my white Chevy Equinox from Hutchens in the window reflection. HA HA! And this new 5 Guys is like 2 seconds from my house. OMG!!! And it didn't just open up like last week...the Grand Opening is
I know what I'm doing for dinner. McCoy - if you are reading this - I wil meet you there after work. HA HA! OH! And here's another awesome thing about Five Guys, I learned from my co-worker Tias, that Five Guys has "cajun fries". Umm...I never knew that. And I'm a lover of spicy food, so thank you Tias for getting me hip to the cajun fry. I will happily dip it in ketchup & devour a bag tonight. YUMMY YUM YUM YUM!!!
Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! We did at our house...until the Cowboys lost to the Redskins. Boo! But JMU kicking the crap out of Virginia Tech made my husband McCoy very happy. He is a proud JMU Graduate (shout out to class of '97!) and he smiled all day Saturday. GO JMU GO! I have a 12pm dentist appoinment today...teeth cleaning...so time to get some work done, meet with the boss & race to First Colonial.
Happy Monday!! XO, WooWoo

What are the gifts of your life?
