Estonian Foreign Ministry confirms authenticity of leaked call on Kiev snipers
RT March 05 2014
Estonian foreign ministry has confirmed the recording of his conversation with EU foreign policy chief is authentic. Urmas Paet said that snipers who shot at protesters and police in Kiev were hired by Maidan leaders.
Paet told RIA-Novosti news agency that he talked to Catherine Ashton last week right after retiring from Kiev, but refrained from further comments, saying that he has to "listen to the Continue reading

Global Research Editor's Note
On the 20th of February, according to reports, more than twenty protesters were killed by professional snipers. This was not a spontaneous event resulting from clashes between protesters and riot police, nor was it marked by an exchange of gunfire between the police and the Neo-Nazi militia.
The sniper killings had the hallmarks of a carefully planned operation. They happened within 'the space of a few hours". Moreover, the killings coincided with the meetings of President Viktor Continue reading
Turkey's Real Corruption Scandal
By: William Engdahl
Since December last year, Turkey has been rocked by a series of arrests and waves of allegations that the government of AK Party Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is riddled with corruption. Erdogan, a scrappy political infighter for all his eccentricities, has fought back and accused "foreign powers" of standing behind his now-arch enemy, former Imam Fethullah Gülen, considered by the US Embassy in Ankara to be the most powerful man in Turkey. What is unfolding across Turkey is far more interesting than your ordinary politician graft scandal. It is an open warfare, not for the future of democracy in Turkey—there is hardly a trace of that. Rather, it is a surrogate battle between East and West for the future of a pivotal land at the geopolitical crossroads between Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
The clash domestically inside Turkey is between the Justice and Police versus family and cronies of Erdogan. In reality it is a kind-of surrogate warfare between a faction in Washington of CIA and hard-core Dick Cheney neo-conservatives whose man in Turkey is Fethullah Gülen. Opposed to this formidable team if Erdogan, determined to survive, and an emerging alliance of Iran, China and even Putin's Russia.
Fethullah Gülen, whose movement spans the globe and also has huge influence inside the Continue reading
Israel Seizes Emergency Tents Provided By UN
Βy Chris Carlson – 1 of International Middle East Media Center Editorial Group
[Monday, January 13, 2014] Israeli authorities have seized emergency tents provided by the United Nations to shelter families whose homes were demolished by the army last week, according to a UN press release.
image: Wiki Commons
The Palestinian News & Info Agency (WAFA) reports that the release, issued by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the occupied Palestinian territories (OCHA), states that the tents were provided to the Bani Manieh families from Jiftlik, in Jericho, after the Israeli army demolished all their residential and livelihood structures on Wednesday.
13 structures, belonging to three families of the Bani Manieh community, were destroyed by the army, displacing 26 people, including 15 children.
The army claims that the area was a military training zone.
The Jordan Valley makes up about 29% of the West Bank, and Israel is simultaneously trying to empty the region of its Palestinian Arab citizens, as it attempts to keep control over the area in any future peace deal with the Palestinians.
The Palestinians refuse to allow any Israeli presence in the Jordan Valley and assert that this land is vital to their economy and statehood.

Ignored Reality Is Going To Wipe Out the Human Race — Paul Craig Roberts
|Paul Craig Roberts
To inform people is hard slugging. Everything is lined up against the public being informed, or the policymakers for that matter. News is contaminated by its service to special interests and hidden agendas. Many scientists or their employers are dependent on federal money. Even psychologists and anthropologists were roped into the government's torture and occupation programs. Economists tell lies for corporations and Wall Street. Plant and soil scientists tell lies for agribusiness and Monsanto. Truth tellers are slandered and persecuted. However, persistence can eventually win out. In the long-run, truth sometimes emerges. But not always. And not always in time.
I have been trying to inform the American people, economists, and policymakers for more than a decade about the adverse impacts of jobs offshoring on the US economy. The word has eventually gotten out. Last week I was contacted by 8th grade students competing for their school in CSPAN's StudentCam Documentary Contest. They want to interview me on the subject of jobs offshoring for their documentary film.
America is a strange place. Here are eighth graders far ahead of the economics profession, the President, the Congress, the Federal Reserve, Wall Street, and the financial press in their understanding of one of the fundamental problems of the US economy. Yet, people say the public schools are failing. Obviously, not the one whose students contacted me.
Is it too late? I know much, but not all. So this is not the final word. I think it might be too late. When skilled jobs are sent abroad, the skills disappear at home. So do the supply chains and the businesses associated with the skills. Things close down, and abilities are lost. Why take a major in collage for a job that is offshored. A culture disappears.
But we can start them back up, right? Perhaps not. When a First World country exports its technology and know-how abroad to a Third World country in order to benefit from lower cost labor, how does the First World country get the work back? Living standards and the cost of living in Third World countries are much lower than in First World countries. The populations of First World countries cannot pay their mortgages, car payments, student loans, medical care, and grocery bills with the wages of Third World countries.
When First World wages drop, mortgage, car, credit card, and student loan payments do not drop. Americans cannot live on Chinese, Indian, and Indonesian wages. Once the technology and know-how is transferred, the low wage country has the advantage in the absence of tariff protection.
For America to revive, our economy would have to be walled off with high tariffs, and subsidies would have to be provided in order to recreate US industry and manufacturing. But many corporations now produce offshore, and America is broke. The government has been $1 trillion dollars in the hole each year for the last 5 years.
Jobs offshoring diminished the US tax base. When a job is sent abroad, so is that job's contribution to US GDP and tax base. When millions of jobs are sent abroad, US GDP and tax base cannot support government spending levels. To the extent that there are any replacement jobs, they are in lowly paid domestic services, such as waitresses, bartenders, retail clerks, and hospital orderlies. These jobs do not provide a tax base or consumer spending power comparable to manufacturing jobs and tradable professional services such as software engineering and information technology.
Republicans and increasingly Democrats, as both parties are dependent on the same sources of campaign contributions, blame "entitlements." By entitlements they mean welfare.
In fact, entitlements consist of Social Security and Medicare. Entitlements are funded by the payroll tax, approximately 15% of payroll. The fact that a person pays the payroll tax all his working life is why the person is entitled to Social Security and Medicare if they live to retirement age. Welfare, such as food stamps and housing subsidies, are a small part of the federal budget and are not entitlements.
Every since President Reagan was betrayed three decades ago by Alan Greenspan and David Stockman, both of whom sold out to Wall Street and raised the Social Security payroll tax above what was needed to pay Social Security benefits in order to protect Wall Street's stock and bond portfolios from exaggerated deficit fears, Social Security payroll tax revenues have exceeded Social Security payments. As of today, Social Security revenues exceed payments to beneficiaries by an accumulated $2 trillion. The money was used by the federal government to pay for its wars and other spending programs. The Social Security Trust Fund holds non-marketable IOUs from the Treasury. These IOUs can only be made good from an excess of tax revenues over expenditures or by the Treasury selling $2 trillion in bonds, notes, and bills and paying off its IOUs to the Social Security Trust Fund. This is not going to happen.
The Federal Reserve could not care less about the US population. The Fed was established for the purpose of protecting and aiding banks. Currently, the Fed, as if America were a Banana Republic which America appears to be becoming, is printing one thousand billion dollars per year in order to support the banks and to finance the federal deficit.
This is bad news for Americans, as it means that their fiat money is being created at a far greater rate than the demand for the dollar. The implication for our future is a drop in the dollar's value. As there are no jobs, a drop in the dollar's value means high inflation on top of unemployment and double the misery of the Great Depression.
As bad as this is, it is minor compared to the destruction of the planet's environment. Online information shows that the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem is in crisis after the BP spill and use of Corexit, a dispersant used to hide, not clean up, the spilled oil. http://www.opednews.com/articles/Gulf-ecosystem-in-crisis-a-by-Dahr-Jamail-Corporation-BP_Ecosystems_Gulf-Oil-Spill-Disaster_Gulf-Shrimping-Industry-131020-15.html
The Fukushima catastrophe has hardly begun. Yet already the radioactive water pouring into the Pacific Ocean has made fish dangerous to eat unless a person is willing to accept a higher risk of cancer.
Fukushima has the potential of making Japan uninhabitable and of polluting the air, water, and soil of the US with radioactivity. Yet the crisis is seldom mentioned in the US media. In Japan the government just passed a law that could be used to imprison Japanese journalists who report truthfully on the dire situation.
Take the time to familiarize yourself with the online information about Fukushima.. According to the presstitute media, Americans face threats from Iran nd Syria and from whistleblowers such as Edward Snowden. The real threats are simply not in the news.
If you search Fukushima, you will find information that the presstitute media hides from you. See for example, http://www.globalresearch.ca/28-signs-that-the-west-coast-is-being-absolutely-fried-with-nuclear-radiation-from-fukushima/5355280
There are a number of other threats to the environment on which our lives depend. One is the effort to extract more productivity from the soil by use of GMOs. Monsanto has altered the genes of several crops so that the crops can be sprayed with RoundUp to eliminate weeds. The results have been to deplete the soil of nutrients, to destroy the micro-biology of the soil so that new plant diseases and funguses are activated, and to produce superweeds that require heavier doses of the glyphosate in RoundUp. The heavier dose of RoundUp worsens the aforementioned problems. US agricultural soil is losing its potency.
Now we come to chemtrails, branded another "conspiracy theory." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemtrail_conspiracy_theory However, the US government's efforts to geo-engineer weather as a military weapon and as a preventative of global warming appear to be real. The DARPA and HAARP programs are well known and are discussed publicly by scientists. See, for example, http://news.sciencemag.org/2009/03/darpa-explore-geoengineering Search Chemtrails, and you will find much information that is kept from you. See, for example, http://www.globalresearch.ca/chemtrails-a-planetary-catastrophe-created-by-geo-engineering/5355299 and http://www.geoengineeringwatch.org
Some describe chemtrails as a plot by the New World Order, the Rothchilds, the Bilderbergers, or the Masons, to wipe out the "useless eaters." Given the amount of evil that exists in the world, these conspiracy theories might not be as farfetched as they sound.
However, I do not know that. What does seem to be possibly true is that the scientific experiments to modify and control weather are having adverse real world consequences. The claim that aluminum is being sprayed into the atmosphere and when it comes to earth is destroying the ability of soil to be productive might not be imaginary. Those concerned about chemtrails say that weather control experiments have deprived the western United States of rainfall, while sending the rain to the east where there have been hurricane level deluges and floods.
In the West, sparse rainfall and lightening storms without rain are resulting in forests drying out and burning down. Deforestation adversely affects the environment in many ways, including the process of photosynthesis by which trees convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. The massive loss of forests means more carbon dioxide and less oxygen. Watershed and species habitat are lost, and spreading aridity further depletes ground and surface water. If these results are the consequences of weather modification experiments, the experiments should be stopped.
In North Georgia where I spend some summers, during 2013 it rained for 60 consecutive days, not all day, but every day, and some days the rainfall was 12 inches–hurricane level–and roads were washed out. I received last summer 4 automated telephone warnings from local counties not to drive and not to attempt to drive through accumulations of water on the highways.
One consequence of the excess of water in the East is that this year there are no acorns in North Georgia. Zilch, zero, nada. Nothing. There is no food for the deer, the turkeys, the bear, the rodents. Starving deer will strip bark from the trees. Bears will be unable to hibernate or will be able only to partially hibernate, forced to seek food from garbage. Black bears are already invading homes in search of food.
Unusual drought in the West and unusual flood in the East could be coincidental or they could be consequences of weather modification experiments.
The US, along with most of the world, already had a water problem prior to possible disruptions of rainfall by geo-engineering. In his book, Elixir, Brian Fagan tells the story of humankind's mostly unsuccessful struggle with water. Both groundwater and surface water are vanishing. The water needs of large cities, such as Los Angeles and Phoenix, and the irrigation farming that depends on the Ogallala aquifer are unsustainable. Fagan reminds us that "the world's supply of freshwater is finite," just like the rest of nature's resources. Avoiding cataclysm requires long-range thinking, but humanity is focused on immediate needs. Long-range thinking is limited to finding another water source to deplete. Cities and agriculture have turned eyes to the Great Lakes.
Los Angeles exists because the city was able to steal water from hundreds of miles away. The city drained Owens Lake, leaving a huge salt flat in its place, drained the Owens Valley aquifer, and diverted the Owens River to LA via aqueduct. Farming and ranching in the Owens Valley collapsed. Today LA takes water from the Colorado River, which originates in Wyoming and Colorado, and from Lake Perris 440 miles away.
Water depletion is not just an American problem. Fagan reports that "underground aquifers in many places are shrinking so rapidly that NASA satellites are detecting changes in the earth's gravity."
If the government is experimenting with weather engineering, scientists are playing God when they have no idea of the consequences. It is a tendency of scientists to become absorbed by the ability to experiment and to ignore unintended consequences.
Readers have asked me to write about Fukushima and chemtrails because they trust me to tell them the truth. The problem is that I am not qualified to write about these matters with anything approaching the same confidence that I bring to economic, war and police state matters.
The only advice I can give is that when you hear the presstitute media smear a concern or explanation as "conspiracy theory," have a closer look. The divergence between what is happening and what you are told is so vast that it pays to be suspicious, cynical even, of what "your" government and "your" presstitute media tell you. The chances are high that it is a lie.
Taiwanese Government Introduces Terrifying Special Forces Clone Army
|Secrets of the Fed
Taiwanese Special Forces and a select few other military units recently received updated bulletproof armor that includes a ballistic face mask that serves to protect operators from lethal headshots and to reduce fighting effectiveness of opposing forces, seemingly by causing them to immediately curl into the fetal position and cry for their mothers. Check out one of the scariest-looking armies ever after the jump.
The United States has also used the ballistic mask for small teams in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as during the drug war of the 1980s. A handful of these guys approaching is likely enough to disconcert even the most hardened cartel enforcer, but an entire platoon marching in lockstep is so terrifying we assume the weapons they're carrying are just for show.
▼ After all, it's hard to hit a target that's fleeing full-sprint in the other direction.
Each ballistic mask is apparently rated to block close-range shots from a .44 magnum – which, if our extensive video game experience is any indication, is a hell of a weapon. It should be noted, however, that the mask distributes the impact of a bullet over a relatively small surface area, meaning a headshot, while not lethal to the mask wearer, is sure to ruin his day and probably his dating prospects for a very long time.
Other than the obvious added protection and intimidation factor of the masks, there is one other possible explanation for the Taiwanese government issuing them: they don't want us to realize that they've actually just introduced a horrifying army of supersoldier Boba Fett clones.

"Ill kind of have a foot on the back of my own butt. Thats just how I do things. -- Bryan Price, 10/22/2013
Okay, maybe that was a stupid idea. Mods, feel free to lock this one. But... perhaps... we can change the old one's title?
"Ill kind of have a foot on the back of my own butt. Thats just how I do things. -- Bryan Price, 10/22/2013
I agree, the other thread title was confusing. Why not start a new thread? The kid deserves a fresh one.
"I am your child from the future. I'm sorry I didn't tell you this earlier." - Dylan Easton
I agree on the new thread idea. Anybody happy we didn't trade Wood yet?
Wood has been very impressive. He's got above average stuff for a left-hander and is a very good athlete too. 90-93 mph fastball, plus changeup, very good cutter. IIRC, Cliff Lee taught him the cutter last year. That pitch has helped turn his career around. I'll stick to what I said earlier - I think he has a chance to be a #2 starter in the major leagues.
I miss Adam Dunn.
I approve of this new thread, personally. It's kinda funny to me how I just took the scouting reports from years past as the gospel that said his ceiling was a #4 or #5 and I figured he'd make for a decent trade chip like, say, Justin Germano. So far he's looking like a genuine starter.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
Once I saw the reports that Wood was working with Lee on the cutter - and then throwing the pitch well - that was golden news. That's the type of pitching development that can take a good prospect like Wood was previously and turn him into a really fine big league pitcher.
Kevin Gregg and Jason Marquis brought back vivid memories of the Lost Decade.
Kevin Gregg: DFA'd May 11, 2015
Jason Marquis: DFA'd June 5, 2015
Really great that this kid is contributing like this, but I think we've seen enough in our years to not get ahead of ourselves this early in his career.
The stuff claims have really been off on Wood.
From early on, scouts, published reports, and web sites insisted he couldn't break 90. So, even with a great change (which we've not seen all that much, BTW), he was, at best, a BOR starter. Even last season, prospect mavens insisted he was short FB mph.
That's been the revelation, to me at least. He's throwing 88-91 all game, but can reach back and hit 93 when needed. That's plus stuff, especially from a southpaw. And, unless he added those mph this season (in Cincinnati), I cannot see how all those supposed experts missed it.
"You can learn little from victory. You can learn everything from defeat."
-- Christy Matthewson
"Show me a good loser and I'll show you an idiot."
-- Leo Durocher
yea I've been really surprised to see Wood successfully pitching off of his fastball like he has. The changeup is no doubt a good one, but judging from his minor league scouting reports, it seemed like that was the only real weapon he had.
ESPN's "Why they won"- Wood 102 pitches, 87 fastballs (Held Pit to 2-19 on AB ending with fastballs).
Not sure why that won us the game but a nugget all the same, surprised to see so many fastballs but he does use 3 of them.

"You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one."
--Woody Hayes
Everyone keeps talking about the innings cap for Leake. Is there one for Wood? I know he's had some injuries in the past so I'm sure he's never thrown that many innings in a season. Will he have to be shut down at any point?
"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"

The War of The Worlds (1953)
Gene Barry and Ann Robinson star in the 1953 science fiction movie classic The War of the Worlds. Martians invade earth in fantastic warships.
The War of the Worlds 1953 lobby card set image courtesy Heritage Auction Galleries
Director Byron Haskin and Paramount Pictures delivered the original The War of the Worlds to movie theaters in 1953. Gene Barry plays the American scientist, with Ann Robinson, Les Tremayne and Robert Cornthwaite in stellar support.
H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds
The War of the Worlds is based on the 1898 novel of the same name by British author H.G. Wells (1866-1946). An early titan of the genre, Wells' other science fiction novels include The Time Machine (1895), The Island of Dr. Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897) and The First Men in the Moon (1901).
Barre Lyndon wrote the screenplay for Paramount Pictures and Byron Haskin (Treasure Island, Conquest of Space, Robinson Crusoe on Mars) directed. Leith Stevens crafted the spooky music score and George Barnes delivered the dazzling cinematography.
Gene Barry (Dr. Clayton Forrester) and Ann Robinson (Sylvia Van Buren) head the cast. Other players include Les Tremayne (General Mann), Robert Cornthwaite (Dr. Pryor), Sandro Giglio (Dr. Bilderbeck), Lewis Martin (Pastor Matthew Collins), Houseley Stevenson Jr. (General Mann's Aide), Paul Frees (Opening Announcer), William Phipps (Wash Perry), Vernon Rich (Col. Ralph Heffner), Henry Brandon (Cop), Jack Kruschen (Salvatore), Alvy Moore (Zippy), Cedric Hardwicke (Commentary Voice), Gertrude Hoffman (Elderly News Vendor) and Walter Sande (Sheriff Bogany).
The War of the Worlds Filmed in Arizona and California
Budgeted at a healthy $2 million, The War of the Worlds was filmed from January to February 1952. Several Los Angeles locations were used to great scenic effect, including City Hall, the U.S. District Court Building on Spring Street, First United Methodist Church on Franklin Avenue, the then unopened Harbor Freeway and St. Brendan's Catholic Church on Van Ness Avenue. Shooting was also done in California's Simi Valley and in Arizona (Phoenix, Florence).
As befitting a science fiction film of this magnitude, producer George Pal committed $1.4 million to special effects. The fantastic Martian warships were elaborate models made of copper, each of which was supported by about 20 wires. A scale model of Los Angeles City Hall was lovingly crafted, and then blown up with frightening efficiency.
The movie's eerie sound effects were accomplished via several means. Three electric guitars played backwards provided the sound of the roving Martian spaceships while a microphone dragged across dry ice coupled with a reversed woman's scream served as a Martian's wounded cry.
The War of the Worlds: The Martians Invade Earth
The War of the Worlds opens with the commentary that the earth has been being "watched" from outer space. A flaming meteorite then hurls to earth, landing in the hills just outside Linda Rosa, California, knocking out power. Nearby at a square dance is Dr. Clayton Forrester, the eminent physicist from the Pacific Institute of Science and Technology.
Dr. Forrester and the locals check out the "meteorite," which turns out to be a buried Martian spaceship that eventually comes to life, destroying everything in its path with a fearsome heat ray. An entire army of Martian war machines follow, falling to earth in strategic parts of the globe and wreaking destruction.
The world's militaries prove helpless in stopping the invasion, with the alien warships throwing up fantastic force shields that repel bullets, bombs and rockets. When a thermonuclear detonation fails to even dent the Martian spaceship near Linda Rosa, the military is forced to retreat.
Dr. Forrester and girlfriend Sylvia eventually make it back to Los Angeles. Forrester brainstorms with his fellow Pacific Institute scientists, examining a sample of Martian blood that he had extracted while hiding in a farmhouse. The blood reveals that the Martians may have certain biological weaknesses that can be exploited.
With Los Angeles almost completely evacuated, the Martian warships march on the City of Angels. Huddled in a church are Dr. Forrester, Sylvia and other survivors who are bracing for the horrific end while still praying for a last-second miracle.
The War of the Worlds Premieres in Atlantic City
The War of the Worlds made its world premiere in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on July 29, 1953.
"War of the Worlds is a socko science-fiction feature, as fearsome as a film as was the Orson Welles' 1938 radio interpretation of the H.G. Wells novel," reported Variety.
"…An imaginatively conceived, professionally turned adventure, which makes excellent use of Technicolor, special effects by a crew of experts and impressively drawn backgrounds," observed A.H. Weiler of The New York Times (8/14/53).
Film Analysis: The Martians and Psalm 23
Forget Tom Cruise and his irritating dysfunctional family in the 2005 remake of The War of the Worlds and stick with the original. The 1953 version of the H.G. Wells classic is still the one to see, reigning supreme among Earthlings and Martians alike.
George Pal's The War of the Worlds is 1950s science fiction at its best. The script is literate, the direction innovative, the acting above par and the special effects simply out of this world for a pre-CGI picture.
A bespectacled Gene Barry, who passed away at age 90 on December 9, 2009, carries much of the movie on his able shoulders. Barry's Dr. Forrester is both courageous and brilliant, piloting a private plane during the Martian onslaught and even (thankfully) slapping a screaming Ann Robinson during one of her bouts of alien invasion hysteria.
One of the movie's best scenes is garnered by Lewis Martin as Pastor Matthew Collins and Sylvia's uncle, who recklessly approaches the hovering alien warship while reciting Psalm 23 a.k.a. "The Lord Is My Shepherd." The Martian ship spots the good reverend and ignores the sermon, blasting him with a heat ray and making good on the psalm's "the valley of the shadow of death" theme.
The War of the Worlds earned three Academy Award nominations, all in the technical categories: Best Film Editing (Everett Douglas), Best Sound (Loren L. Ryder) and Best Special Effects. The lone winner was Gordon Jennings and his special effects team, who delivered the goods like no other sci-fi production of the decade.

A bit humbling, isn't it, General?
I enjoyed the original War of the World, and the movie version with Tom Cruz….but the War of the World movie part two was a flop.
Great movie. Great article on the history this 1953 version and so much talent in the background like George Pal and the imagination of HG Wells. A great classic.

What if I need to see the doctor & I don't have an appointment?
Walk-ins (students without appointments) are seen on a "first come, first serve basis". Students are evaluated by the nurse and based upon the severity of illness, as determined by the nurse, are either seen immediately by a provider, given an appointment for a later time or referred to a specialist or hospital.

It doesn't need to be global. PvPers will claim it does, but it doesn't. The reason they claim it needs to be everywhere and part of everything is easily explained with UO. PvP was fun for Pvpers, specifically those of the ganking preference. When EA split the world, a majority moved to Trammel and played there, leaving the PvPers to do their own thing on Felucca. Trammel was full of life and players everywhere. Felucca was pretty much a ghost town.
PvPers want PvP to be a part of a game for the simple fact that they know, given the option, most people will opt out to do something else until they *want* to PvP. This means PvPers end up feeling like they have no one to play with, or that their choice of gameplay is being ignored. It's pretty evident in a lot of the proponents posts - usually always coming down to 'because its fun for me'.
Now a game can exist without PvP. But why should it? PvP needs to be an option in the gameplay. People should have the option to go kill each other or guilds should be able to war on each other. But again, the key word is optional. Make it mandatory and the PvE portion of the game becomes limited. Make it like EvE and PvE portion of the game becomes limited (In Eve thats fine, space looks like space looks like space. In a game world like EQ, too many different lands with unique POIs become locked out to the average PvE who does not wish to engage in any form of PvP)

I take it from your underlining that "world simulation" for you has some special meaning (wonderful gankfest perhaps) but one others do not share. Kind of hard to argue about it if it is your own private code for something.
However I propose a hypothetical for you: EQ Next comes out with a PvE server and an OW FFA PvP server, after six months which do you think will have the most dynamic economy, largest buildings etc?
IMHO it will be the PvE server with the PvP server being largely a collection of smoking ruins.

I agree with the guy about the world simulation thing. The why of it for me is that I want the sort of economy that comes from me being able to kill you and destroy your belongings. I like the amount of jobs that opens up for crafters to craft more gear and people who protect crafters and people who kill people who protect crafters in that sort of economy. If a crafter/gatherer is safe from pvp they do not need protection and i get mad at the developer because he took my jerb.
I do not agree that everyone must play that game as I do though. I think its fine if they have servers that people can pve on all day and not worry about pvp. those servers can be run by Blizzard, EA, Trion, etc while i play on a server run by CCP or some other game developer who makes the sort of game I want.
I think its great that there are all different types of games. I want people to be happy playing games, whatever games they choose, but sometimes what I want just isn't going to be what you want and thats pretty much the long and short of it. We cannot always agree.
I don't think the problem is that people who don't like World FFA PvP don't like it because it is forced, necessarily. I think the issue is that it is too easy to be forced into a situation you have absolutely no way of winning. You don't even have a chance.
Ganking. Ganking occurs in two ways: either you are totally outnumbered or you are totally outleveled.
1. To me, this is the fundamental problem with World FFA PvP. And it has to do with the Themepark nature of the game. The areas are built around a specific array of levels. But nothing stops higher level players from entering these areas and rolling face. And given Themepark use of gear-based stats... the fact that they are higher level and would be more powerful anyway, the fact that their gear makes them a god in comparison to a low level player, no amount of zone-level comradery will matter. In other words, a gank squad of level 10's of any amount will never bring down a single level 50 with tricked out gear.
There are ways around this issue, but it would require a totally different design than what we are used to seeing. I won't go too deep into it, but basically, you have to design the game for lateral progression instead of vertical progression. But we will never see this, so it's a moot point.
2. Then there is the matter of a single 10th lvl guy being ganked by 15 10th level guys. Again, the lone guy doesn't have a chance. If this were a FPS like Call of Duty or something, this sort of thing happens all the time. One guy could potentially take out the entire opposite team. I've seen it happen before - a lot. Hell, I've DONE it before. But that was years ago when I was younger. And besides that, it takes a player who really knows how to play the game well to pull off on a consistent basis. And moreover, this is not something that a game should bank on happening by the bulk of its players in the first place.
The thing is, the sort of game where these things happen revolves entirely on player skill. MMO's do not revolve around player skill in any shape or form. They revolve around statistics. One lone player, even totally min-maxed, will never take out an entire team of equal level players, unless their class is OP (which is often the case), and even then... it won't happen. The numbers will not support it. They'll be dead before they take out one of the gankers.
Add to all of this that it is very easy for these gankers to completely lock down an entire area to the point that many players can absolutely not do a single thing in the game until the gankers move on... It's very easy to see how this can be frustrating. I love open world FFA PvP, and even I can see this sucks.
However, I am not bothered by the second issue too much, so long as the first issue has been solved. The second one is a necessary evil in my mind, and it promotes grouping instead of soloing. Safety in numbers. But... people just won't do it.
I've seen it progress for years - people are constantly not wanting to group in a multi-player game. This is what baffles me. I'm all for wanting to do what you want to do... but you first have to make sure what you want to do is even available in the game. For instance, I don't play Skyrim and expect to drive cars. I'm tired of MMO's being released that cater to people who are really just looking for a single player game with a chat box.
I don't care what anyone says: if a Dev says their game is going to have World FFA PvP... if you don't like it... don't play it. What you don't get to do is go into the game and start complaining and begging them to change it or add rules that previously did not exist, just so you don't have to deal with a part of the game that was designed to exist. The game isn't for you. You either accept that or go play a different game that is more to your liking.
I think people who don't want a game where there is World FFA PvP really just want a Co-op RPG... with crafting. Stop trying to make MMO's into that. MMO's provide a different experience. They provide experiences for all facets of gameplay. If you don't like it - play something else.
I'm not saying World PvP isn't without its issues. I'm saying that getting rid of it and complaining you don't want it are not resolving those issues.

No risk, all reward.. i don't find that entertaining at all and that's what games are for after all, entertainment.
I agree, it'll probably be the PVE server, where as the other server will have people working together to rebuild those smoking ruins.

Firstly MMORPG's are a more diverse thing than you pretend. Yest there are PvP focused games but there are also exclusively crafting and building games. There are many different points on the spectrum.
Secondly PvP will always have a place in the overall mix of MMORPG's more PvP in some less or none in others.
Now as an exclusively PvE players I generally do not play high PvP games. I have tried some of them and avoided others entirely, I do not post saying game X has too much PvP and would be better without it, I simply do not play it.
This topic, however, addresses all MMORPG's and not just those that their Developers set out to make a PvP game. In fact many of us are responding to this thread in the context of Evequest NEXT and in this context it is completely unclear what the Dev's intend to give us in this game.
Finally there are many forms PvP can take. To return to the thread title there is no need for always on FFA PvP to be global. There are many options that is just one of them,.

I can't remember the name of the game but there was a FFA PVP game where you could choose one race that did not PVP at all.....I thought it was a very itneresting concept as I would like alot of these games but I do not like FFA PVP at all.......Im no sure how many people played taht race but I know I would have.

So... I don't understand what your issue is.
If the game you want to play, doesn't have a feature you like, or has a feature you don't like - either accept it as it is, or move along to another game that is more agreeable with you.
We aren't talking about crafting and building. We're talking about PvP. Why would I enter into a thread about PvP and start talking about crafting and building?
MMO's are more diverse than I pretend? Did you not just quote me as saying, "They [MMO's] provide experiences for all facets of gameplay"? How is this me pretending they aren't diverse? I'm confused. What part of that statement implies that I am not aware that there is more to an MMO than PvP? Take off the blinders, fella. Not everyone who likes to PvP is a baffoon who has no idea about anything other than their own desires.
We aren't talking about where PvP's place is. We're talking about Open World FFA PvP. Did I talk about the characteristics of Arena PvP? No. I was on point the entire time. Always on FFA PvP has a place if the Devs say it has a place. End of story. You don't get to whine and change it. That is a royal "you". I'm not speaking about YOU directly.
If you don't play high tolerance PvP games - why are you even bothering to comment in a thread that asks a question about Open World FFA PvP? It's implied - an MMO that is not high tolerance PvP oriented isn't going to have Open World FFA PvP.
If we don't know what EQN will offer, and the point of the thread is all speculation on that game - then anything anyone says is irrelevant. It could be high tolerence... it might not be. Who knows? But that is beside the point. The OP asked a question specifically about Open World FFA PvP. I gave my thoughts on the matter.
Always on FFA PvP is an issue dictated by the game developers. Sometimes developers don't have it. Fine. I'm sure it's a great game. Sometimes they do. Fine. More power to them. If we're going to speculate on this under the president of the unveiled EQN.... I still don't know how anything I said is wrong or off-topic.

Telling them to go play something else instead of whining about existing rules is all fine and dandy but there really isn't other games to go to. If you want to play a sandbox and more specifically a fantasy sandbox with RPG elements, you know swords, bows dragons magic, the whole nine you have have what to choose from again?
Maybe the solution to your gripe would be more diverse choices

The original post:

My opinion is that having two different server types is the best option for EQ Next, and indeed for most MMO's. Of course there is the place for exclusive niche products, heck I even kicked up some dollars for Camelot Unchained even though I do not intend to ever play it.

It's all about having plenty of victims to victimize. Developers who like this sort of thing are no better than the gamers who demand it. Hence plenty of games that have pvp where the developers purposefully leave out mechanics that protect victims of abuse or harassment.
Originally posted by craftseeker
Why should FFA PvP always be on? Well, because if it isn't... then it isn't FFA PvP - that's why. I'm pretty certain I covered this.
Why shouldn't there be servers that have them always off? Well, because that's the same thing as demanding special rules to applied to a game that was designed to have FFA PvP - that's why. If that is not your thing - then move to another game that is more agreeable to you. I'm pretty sure I covered this as well.
The only person being argumentative is you. I've stated the same thing three times now.
Originally posted by Notimeforbs
So what you are saying is:
Now I have said numerous times I have no problem with any form of PvP, but if it is compulsory in a particular game I will not play it. As for EQ Next as I do want to play that game I do not want it to have any form of compulsory PvP, as the developers have not revealed the extent of PvP in that game (although indicating that it will not be compulsory) I think that is a valid point to make.
As to the argument that you cannot have FFA PvP in a game unless every server running the game has FFA PvP why on earth not? Your statement about special rules and design falls down if the developers have set out to make a game that provides for both on separate servers. It becomes particularly irrelevant if you regard FFA PvP as the "special rules" tacked onto a PvE game and genre. Which I do.

FFA PvP can only exist if it is Always On. If it isn't Always On, then it isn't FFA PvP. It's something else.
If the Devs say their game will have this feature, and someone who doesn't like it willingly plays the game anyway, they do not have the right to complain for the game to change according to their liking. Go find another game. I'm sorry, this isn't the game for you.
If the Devs do not offer special server rules from the outset, then it is obvious that they did not intend on providing an experience that does not offer FFA PvP. In which case, people who play the game wanting a different experience need to move along and stop trying to change the game that goes against what the Devs designed it to do. Or, they can stay... and try to enjoy the experience.
The issue about different server rules was something I never addressed directly, specifically because I figured that it was self-explanatory in what I already stated. "If the Devs say this and you don't like it - move along." Why would this statement not apply to anything the Devs say? I was speaking specifically about FFA PvP when I addressed the issue, because the thread isn't about crafting, in-game weddings, or fishing. Sorry... I wasn't thinking about those things because I was trying to answer his question.
You seem like a smart person, so I will assume that you would suspect that they would offer different server rules. I'm a smart person, and I assume that they will too. In which case, your questions for me are irrelevant since if we are both aware of the possibility, then we must be aware of what that would mean for servers that are not FFA PvP enabled... they won't have FFA PvP. In which case, you should refer to what I said to people who want to change a game that was never promised to be what they want, "If the Devs said it and you don't like it - move along."
The reason I did not get as specific into this as I am now, is because we don't know what EQN will offer. The Devs have said NOTHING. By this logic, I default to the defensive. If the Devs say FFA PvP with no option of different servers - move along. This is not the game for you - don't try to change it.
But, again, because you and I are smart people... we both know that that is a ludicrous insinuation, even if it must be said in defense of what is right and just. EverQuest has historically been a PvE focussed game. They would never not have the optional server for a disabled FFA PvP game experience. If they did... I'd be the first to be surprised.
As for my personal opinion on why there should NOT be optional servers if the game allows for FFA PvP:
When I played SWTOR back when it was launched, I played on a PvP-RP server. Basically, that means that people who enjoy FFA PvP as equally as PvE content, should play on a PvP-RP server. I like both equally, thus I play on that server. Other players who specifically enjoy PvP and could care less for PvE typically play on the PvP servers. PvE players play on the PvE servers. You know how this works... because you're smart.
Now, what I experienced in this game changed my attitude about this issue entirely.
Two weeks after Launch, Bioware goes into heavy class Nerfing. Why? Because of PvP imbalances. Now, I could write a novel on how much of a bonehead move they made in how they went about these nerfs, but whatever. They did some hardcore nerfing, specifically because some classes were owning total face in PvP.
These nerfs did not just affect the PvP balance. They affecting the balance of everything - including people who play on PvE servers who have no care in the world for PvP. And even worse, there was absolutely no issues whatsoever with the class balance in PvE. This is the making for a gigantic shit-storm. It would be just as bad if it were the other way around.
So, as cruel and unfair as it sounds to say optional servers should not be available - I have to stand by my original statement when it pertains to ANY game, including EQN. "If the Devs say there is FFA PvP, and you don't like it.... Move along." You will be doing yourself a favor, because you won't have to go through the trouble of experiencing nerf after nerf after nerf of your character whom you only use for PvE purposes.

MMO PvPers generally like playing MMO I think because they liked to be recognised and be able to be notorious. The problem with just FPS is they usually lack deep, diversity and a sense of individually. I would say developers are partly to blame for that (ie. they automatically assumed that FPS players don't care about individually and looks, so just give them kill kill kill gameplay).
Which is I think part of the reason why games like GTA and Saint Row becomes quite successful - there are some depth and customization in their kill kill kill-ness.

A special thank you to everyone who participated in the annual Medicinal Herb Sale! I hope everyone will enjoy their remedies and if anyone has any questions, please let me know!
Another note - the pending "Frankenstorm" is proposed to hit my area of New Jersey very hard. Impending power outages and flooding may be a result of this monstrous storm which is expected to hit us Sunday evening into Tuesday. Should power outages and other issues be a concern, please know that I will not have access to the internet or based on fallen trees etc, may not have access to get out to the Post Office. Orders will ship as soon as "life" continues and clean up crews have cleared the way.
We are all very nervous here in my area of New Jersey and are praying that the storm will take a different path.
Please know I will attend to any orders placed as soon as possible with hopes Hurricane Sandy will not bother us!
Without power I will not have access to emails or a phone, so again, please bear with me should you attempt to contact me, I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you all for understanding and also best wishes to anyone who may be in my area or surrounding area who may be affected by this storm.
Peaceful blessings and be safe!

Don't Skip Exercise to Keep Your Hair Nice
Surgeon General: Your Hair Shouldn't Keep You From Exercising
by Lacey Gattis
Like us on Facebook
Hair is a fraught issue for many women, and it's not surprising that sacrificing health for nice hair is a real problem. Do you ever skip a workout or physical activity in general because you're worried about ruining your hair?

@magickofreiki There are foundation that are sweat resistant. Just have to find your shade. I believe Clinique offers something to what you are looking for,

Hmmm well, maybe my hair isn't straighter/looser than 3c? I don't know. I can perm it, it just makes no difference in the final product and it damages my hair. My hair is on the fragile side naturally. It's quicker to flat iron, but not by enough for it to make it worth it.
magickofreiki 3 years
I'm ashamed to admit it, but yes, I am definitely guilty of skipping exercise so I don't ruin my hairstyle. I do feel a little comforted that apparently I'm not the only one guilty of this! I'm very into living a healthy lifestyle, but I'm also very much into makeup and hair- I haven't yet found a way to blend the two! The days I do a great exercise session I know my hair and makeup are completely ruined. The days I want to keep my hairstyle intact, I know I don't get as good of a workout.

Jessiebanana, I have 3c hair and I still relaxed my hair (I no longer do so), straightened it profesionally, etc. I know other 3c heads that did the same. Since I've stopped, I remain in the gym.
Jessiebanana 3 years
"Luckily" I have 3c hair so I don't have to relax my hair and/or have it straightened professionally and/or have any extensions added. I wash and flat iron my hair at home, so I have the freedom to exercise as much as like whenever I like. Also figure skating is a huge hobby of mine and that actually cause very little sweat, assuming you aren't skating in a heated rink. Ballet, my other past time, on the other hand is sweat-a-palooza.

I think it's so interesting that the surgeon general went to a hair show. On the surface, some people might think it's silly, but it makes sense. Why not reach out to people who already have close relationships with their communities?

I also have naturally curly hair and I hate exercising on the day I washed it, because it looks so nice and washing it everyday dries it out. Sometimes I try and do like a muscle toning exercise which doesn't require a lot of sweating.
Nanachan 3 years
my hair is naturally curly, and I wear it that way. Although, when I run, i have to wear it up and out of my face, which stretches out my curls, making me have to rewet it. which is a pain, so I can understand why girls would skip working out.
GummiBears 3 years
Naw. When I was getting my hair relaxed, I exercised but it was very sporadically. It wasn't because I was relaxed, but I was lazy and unmotivated. I usually wear my hair in a ponytail so I was very low maintenance anyway. Now that I stopped getting hair relaxers and have more free time, I am exercising more frequently only because I switch it up because I noticed that my motivation starts to slack when I am doing the same routine.

I do this and I don't even have difficult hair. I am white and my hair is pretty easy to deal with. If I'm blowing it out straight, it takes 6 minutes to get from wet and wavy to bone-dry and straight. But I know it's not good for my hair (or my hair color - and therefore my pocketbook) to wash every day, so usually my exercise schedule revolves around my hair washing schedule. The day I wash, I rarely exercise. The second day, I'm OK with light exercise. The last day (i.e. the night before I wash again) is when I let myself get the sweatiest. I realize it's so high-maintenance and silly but...

I am going to play with it a little more(background, highlights, etc.).
I am not really sure what to do about the background.
Comm and Crits welcome!

good wip kuda
This is showing some promise, kuda...as you mentioned, you do need some background...perhaps just a very minimal landscape or something would do nicely....there are a few anatomy issues--the suit does look very nice however....adding some metalic effect (they do this in the comics all the time) would also be helpful.
great work!

From hereWilly Taveras made a long run, but got too close to the wall when the ball skipped off the padding and got past him. Right fielder Chris Dickerson wasn't near the play, and that allowed the ball to roll along the warning track to right field. Utley rounded the bases and came home standing up for an easy inside-the-park home run.
"Somebody was spectating and not backing up," Baker said. "When that ball is hit out there, everybody has got to move. You could see when it caromed, it would be an inside-the-parker. No, you can't make mistakes like that."
I only got to hear the game last night and didn't see any of it. So maybe CDick was completely asleep at the switch. For those who saw the game, was Dickerson just out there picking daisys as Dusty asserts?
But here's the part I don't get. Dusty, known for protecting his players, blatantly throws Dickerson under the bus here. Yet there's not a peep from The Dusty about Willy misplaying the ball in the first place
Maybe Dickerson responds well to public chastisement so Dusty is using it as a motivating tool, but it strikes me as very odd that he would dis Dickerson but make no mention of Wee-Willy whatsoever.
Dickerson had a responsibility to know the weird wall layout, but Willy didn't?
Here's video of the play:

Replace the brakes as needed. You will most likely need pads, rotors and sensors. You are responsible for all repairs as no one has done anything wrong but judgement calls.
