If adherence to that formula were the only aspect of the game that we knew about, then I would agree with you. It is not, however. Also, I didn't say "copy." I said "evolution of," which seems to be the popular view of what the game is shaping up to be. I am not interested in the game at all, but I think it VERY unlikely to flop.

If you don't like themeparks you will likely not like TESO, however if action combat is enough to make you over look the themepark grind, then you may like it. It all boils down to how bored you are or aren't of themeparks, some of us have been doing the same grind since vanilla WOW, some only have been playing MMOS for two years. I am sure Massively was bored do death playing the poor thing.

Game quality is horribly, horribly subjective. So much so, it is hypocritical to say it will be a point of failure for one game, while lauding another game that made the same "blunder".

Creative nick name nuff to say...
Well considering that today a game that sells alpha access and make 5mil is considered Success
Then YES 100% ESO will be successful!
Will achieve they World of Warcraft epic numbers of players?
I doubt this one World of Warcraft is not dead you must be a idiot believing in it a game that is Pay 2 Play for so many years and still have hordes of players 7.6Milion ? Yes they are dieing slowly Slowly I said ! but they are still ONE OF MOST SUCCESSFUL PAY2PLAY MMO.
Why I'm saying successful ? Because in present reality big income is equal success ! In media every game that sell game for few milions is success. So will be fair to call WOW one of most successful games at the moment. Yes it's dieing slowly because people are tired of it. OR you think that you 1 human being is more important than 7.6milion subscribers who pay monthly 114,000,000$$ in a year 1,368,000,000 earlier 2010 it was Yearly: $3,209,100,000 and you CALL WORLD OF WARCRAFT DEAD GAME ???YOU must be the biggest hypocrite in all universe!!
Back TO ESO Will ESO sell lot of boxes YES definitely TES has huge number of players and I think and hope that all of them will want to check out ESO. If this happens they will make LOTS AND LOTS OF these $$$.
NOW will be ESO a long term virtually world for gamers like WOW? not sure to be honest and that fact that they restrict any beta info kinda makes me think something there might be wrong with game content and they are afraid to lose customers.
Second reason why I doubt that ESO will become long term virtually world for gamers is because they don't add anything innovative also some info leaks says that ESO is not Skyrim and you can interact with less things that in Skyrim and previous TES series.
Third in 2014 a lot of COOL game will be released EQN EQL ARCHAGE WILDSTAR and many other that I don't remember title.
I personally will trade ESO for ARCHAGE when it releases because I would be able to build a castle to play with build 120 possibilities of different builds classes I would farm I will conquer castles will fight on ships will fight Kraken on ships will kill another mythological sea monster don't remember name. Will explore depths of ocean and will search for treasure. Will become a pirate and many other thing that I'm tired to write down.
So I will buy ESO 90% will see how game will look will watch some stream and will decide......But I doubt game will keep me busy more then a few months I hope I'm wrong about it and it will be amazingly unforgettable experience ^___^

Fair enough. As I said, I am not particularly interested in Wildstar's development or chances. I just think its chance at success is not going to be hindered merely by its formulaic approach. Your mileage may vary ;)

Unfortunately, I've seen nothing that indicates they'll be charging more than the average, currently acceptable rates.
The enjoyability of the game is again overlooked. Payment model is overblown on forums all the time. If this wasn't true, F2P games would have more players than any P2P games, which is demonstrably false. Heard of WoW? EvE?

TESO's success is hinged on their console sales though? Computer folks (likely) already know if they want to buy or not buy this game, and I guarantee you the percentage will be far ess than 100% among ES fans. Many are already aware of what TESO offers, and are sitting on the fence, because it's a really good future F2P candidate.
Console folks buy a game to bring home and play. They don't want a subscription fee. They will either see that the game has a monthly cost, buy it .... or they wont see the monthly charge, they will buy it, get frustrated that they need to provide credit card details and return it and / or bitch and moan.
Enjoyability is subjective. But this game will explode the internet when it gets released.
Either way $60 + $180 a year is a really big entertainment investment. 1 game for the price of 4 brand new games? Hard to swallow.

The problem with mmo's at this stage is they have become a commodity like toilet paper, tooth paste etc. Lots of suppliers without much variation and competition is basically on price. It's going to take someone to pull an mmo out of the commodity pack with some innovation step to sway a large consumer switch in the long term.
I love Skyrim and while this won't be similar I hope it does well - I just don't see the innovation step to distinguish it in the long term. Personally, I don't think the move to more realistic (awkward) combat is a good move it's more a niche thing and my bet is the average gamer won't be happy with it. That doesn't pan out well for longevity as games need the average types to pad out the population.

Toothpaste similar too, grittiness, swirls, tooth whitening ...
Call me the industry advocate! :P
But yes, ES fans love Skyrim. There is a major issue when trying to transition to a pay to play environment. For example: what people won't pay for: Combat is just a bunch of particle effects to make weak movements & total misses (that still hit) look cool. The combat / animations are very weak, IMO. [no I didn't break the NDA, it's public info via footage & trailers]
The story could carry this game, for a little while, until it goes the route of SWTOR :P
SWTOR has one-up on this game, though.... it was Star Wars!

This is the singular problem with mmos today as I see it. Every since mmo development has moved toward attracting the average player the market has flattened with games designed for accessibility over specialization.
The "average gamer" is NOT a player into a specific mmo with specific features aiming at a specific type of game. The average player is measured over the spectrum of many things or it wouldn't be an average. Targeting an average anything only makes your game average. The concept of average is a quantitative principle. What an average player works out to be is likely not a real person that even exists. Creating a game for someone who doesn't even exist is cause for failure. You can quantify profits and market viability but you cannot quantify the art of making a game. Game creation should be entirely conceptual or the magic of creative process does not exist.
It is absolutely entirely possible and even very likely that a game can be made that the "average" player absolutely cannot stand but the niche player absolutely loves. Passion for a game exists only because of one's emotional connection to that game. Passion is not measured by averages. An average game does not facilitate passion well.
I know fans of this IP have expectations created from playing the previous games but if you talked to today's "average" mmo player and told them to play an mmo with exactly the same mechanics as Skyrim, the average mmo player would be very critical of it.
I have no idea currently what type of game ESO will be but it's success will be hindered if targeted at the average player instead of being far more specific in focus. The game can still suck either way but what killed many mmos right out of the door was who they designed the game for rather than why they created the game to begin with.
What I am trying to say is I would love to see some developers with ballz even if risking far more because of it.
You stay sassy!

Ballz are for niche games with low budgets. You can't spend hundreds of millions on the risk that you do we'll.

Using the example of just D&D online is a bit skewed dont you think because of course you want to compare it to WoW. Doesnt Runescape have a comparable amount of players to WoW and lets be honest, it has to be because its free because I dont see why people would play runescape :)
You are also considering the sub fee based on your income. Not everyone can afford throw 15$ a month on an mmo.
PS. I had a 924 turbo when i was younger and I did not find it uncomfortable. Subjectivity is a wonderful thing. My point was that price is a barrier...

I have just not seen anything at all interesting about this game, it really seems as if the people working on it aren't even excited about it. So thus, how the hell are we as consumers supposed to feel about it?
I would like to give an opinion on this post, but if I agree I will offend people who disagree. While if I disagree my comment will be seen as inflammatory. Either way I will get banned by this site full of the most delicate flowers in online gaming. Ban people for giving honest opinions... beautiful. Unfortunately I still like the articles.

There are many reasons why I do not like sub fees...
1. ReOcurring
Most of these companies set them up to be automatic. Its not my car payment and in all honest I do not like setting up any bill to auto pay. I feel much more comfortable perusing the bill then paying it when I choose to. So far I have had 3 different mmorpg's bill me after I have canceled the account. They have gone so far as to cancel the account and not bill me for 5 months then out of no where bill me for one random month. Giving someone this kind of power is just asking for trouble.
2. Stored Account Information
I do not believe that any business should store your credit card information. How many times does a damn database need to be hacked for us to say, " Fuck you, i dont trust you with my information". If companies are going to store your CC info then it should follow under some sort of HIPPA guidlines and be fined a chunk of cash for each account stolen.
3. Horrible Websites
I have played a few games where they do not even allow you to remove your credit card information from your account. Darkfall is a good example of it. So there my info sits and when I ask them to remove it, they give me every excuse in the book as to why they shouldnt...

The Boston Red Sox worked out Bobby Abreu recently in Venezuela. Abreu spent last season with the Los Angeles Dodgers batting .242 with three home runs in 257 plate appearances. The 38-year-old Abreu has spent 17 seasons in the major leagues but will likley have to settle for a minor league deal. According to WEEI.com the Red Sox worked Abreu out at first base although he has never played a game at the position in his career.

10 file-sharing options: Dropbox, Google Drive and more
Sharing files with one or more colleagues can still be a hassle. We look at 10 online services that aim to make it easier.
Remember the first time you tried to send a 4GB video file as an email attachment? Anybody who has tried to share a large file with a friend or colleague understands all too well to the problems that are involved. Email attachments can get rejected, especially if you don't know what the upper limit on a file size is for sender or recipient. Uploads and downloads can be arbitrarily slow. And the clunkiness of the whole process makes it hard to get real work done.
In the bad old days, if you wanted to distribute files that were too hefty for your email to handle, you had few choices. You could buy some web-hosting space and use that to distribute files on the fly to your co-workers and collaborators, you could burn a disc or copy the file to a USB drive and drop that in an envelope, or you could use that fabled legacy transport protocol, Sneakernet. Nowadays, however, there's a bevy of free services that offer tons of storage and bandwidth.
In this piece, I examine 10 file-hosting services that can be used to distribute files to an audience via links or email. Four are dedicated to sending and hosting large files in a corporate context (MediaFire, RapidShare, ShareFile and YouSendIt), while the other six (Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, Minus, SkyDrive and SugarSync) are more general, personal-use file-storage services that have mass distribution as an adjunct feature.
All of the services in question allow download links to be generated from uploaded files, which makes it easy to distribute them to a mailing list or other group. That said, they've all got a different mix of storage capacities, helper apps and quirks.
To check file transfer times for each service, I uploaded a 100MB ZIP file that contained a mixture of PDF documents, JPG images and TIFF images, using a connection with an average 2 megabit/second upload speed.
In the following descriptions, I deal mainly with the file-sharing features of each service. Computerworld has reviewed a few of these services separately, looking at their other tools more thoroughly; in that case, we've provided a link to the review.
Dedicated file-sharing services
While there are currently a variety of cloud storage services out there, they were preceded by dedicated file-sharing services, whose main purpose was to allow people to upload and download files that were too large to send via email. These services may be more focused, but they also tend to offer the chance to share larger files.
MediaFire is useful if you have lots of files you want to distribute, as long as they're under 200MB each. Uploads are scanned with the BitDefender antivirus engine; common document types can be previewed directly at MediaFire's site via a Flash-based previewer. Distribution includes sending file links to social media (Facebook, Twitter) and emailing via contact lists from a variety of programs including Outlook, Plaxo, vCards and many more.
The MediaFire Express desktop application is currently in beta but shows a fair amount of thought. It provides a drag-and-drop target for quick uploading of files and folders; after uploading, a pop-up appears with a quick link to the uploaded files.
Free account storage space: No limit
Free account max file size: 200MB
Paid account storage space: No limit
Paid account max file size: 4GB ($9/month); 10GB ($49/month)
File storage expiration: None as long as account is not inactive for more than 128 days
Other paid options: Uploads do not expire for lack of activity; direct links to files without interstitial pages; removal of ads; custom domains and branding
Time to upload 100MB file: 6 min. 30 sec. (includes BitDefender scan)

Airbnb's innovative HQ in San Francisco
Airbnb – the startup that redefined the tourism industry, has positioned their vast and innovative "home" in the buzzing city of San Francisco. Welcomed by an impressive five-storey atrium, visors are instantly surrounded by views of different homes from around the world. The aim behind it, was to create the most popular listings on the website into actual meeting spaces and communal areas, infusing the space with the Airbnb's identity and culture.
With a Danish houseboat as a reception, movie inspired boardroom, break room after Airbnb kitchen in Reykjavick and Paris-listing themed conference room, the informal set up of the office space aims to boost employee creativity and stimulate impromptu meetings. The innovative interior design makes every corner of the space unique, transmitting different feel and ambiance. The unconventional meeting rooms act as an inspirational setting for brainstorming and planning.
Airbnb's headquarters are also following all guidelines for sustainability, important to the company's ethos. The venue also holds a large dining hall "Ate Ate Ate" where wide family style meals are a must.
ESBC Rwenzori Towers – Kampala, Uganda
With stylish office space and high-tech infrastructure, we are pleased our eNetwork has a presence in Kampala, Uganda represented by ESBC Rwenzori Towers Centre.
Anyone heading to the buzzing city of Kampala for a business or just a brief meeting will be impressed by the modern facilities offered by our partner ESBC. Situated in the newest iconic building Rwenzori Towers, the office venue is perfectly positioned on the outskirts of the capital's central business district with easy access to private and public transport, as well as Kampala's best hotels, restaurants and shopping malls.

ESBC Rwenzori Towers is equipped with spacious, fully fitted meeting and boardroom facilities, luxurious lounge and break out area and 20 serviced offices to meet the needs of the most demanding taste.

THECUBE was opened in 2009 in the Shoreditch area of London, it offers a variety of co-working capabilities along with standard virtual offices, meeting rooms and desk space. But according to THECUBE they are "a fresh and modern designed space that offers its members more than just an office or hot desking".
The co-working space is all open plan, something specifically done to encourage collaboration and networking between members. Again, according to THECUBE great care was taken to included colours which have been shown to release serotonin, a chemical which helps increase concentration and calms one down.

Show synopsis " ... the student of the Great War and gender is well served, and Braybon's introduction provides an excellent overview of the various historiographical themes, whilst her footnotes provide a useful guide to further reading."? - History "Readers will not be disappointed by this scholarly, yet accessible, collection of essays."? - Centre for First World War Studies In the English-speaking world the Great War maintains a tenacious grip on the public imagination, and also continues to draw historians to an event which has been interpreted variously as a symbol of modernity, the midwife to the twentieth century and an agent of social change. Although much 'common knowledge' about the war and its aftermath has included myth, simplification and generalisation, this has often been accepted uncritically by popular and academic writers alike. While Britain may have suffered a surfeit of war books, many telling much the same story, there is far less written about the impact of the Great War in other combatant nations. Its history was long suppressed in both fascist Italy and the communist Soviet Union: only recently have historians of Russia begun to examine a conflict which killed, maimed and displaced so many millions. Even in France and Germany the experience of 1914-18 has often been overshadowed by the Second World War. The war's social history is now ripe for reassessment and revision. The essays in this volume incorporate a European perspective, engage with the historiography of the war, and consider how the primary textural, oral and pictorial evidence has been used - or abused. Subjects include the politics of shellshock, the impact of war on women, the plight of refugees, food distribution in Berlin and portrait photography, all of which illuminate key debates in war history. Gail Braybon is an independent historian. She is the author of Women Workers in the First World War and also wrote, with Penny Summerfield, Out of the Cage: Women's Experiences in Two World Wars.

There will be no support requests to reply..
Thank you.
I've also noticed a huge difference in the search results for my themes aswell (like drop from 1st place for a certain tag to almost second page of results). In the wrong way of course. Sales have been TRULY slow since the search update.
Can we have any updates on this?
Dear Volumnes,
I've just cured your profile. Peace!
Once again – thank you for all the kind words! I love the Envato community, you are the best.
Haha, quiet an outdated thread and Tim Tams have been gone for a long time now but thank you anyway guys! I truly appreciate the kind words.
Just a note: Tim Tams were so good that I asked my friend to check if they are available for sale in London (since I couldn't find them anywhere in my country). He found them in some store with Australian stuff and sent me over 4 boxes. True heaven..
I really used to think that PayPal is the best withdrawal option for a pretty long time. Then I realized how wrong I was.
It's all fine if your native currency is USD. However, if it's not and you have to convert your ThemeForest revenue to another one then it's not that nice anymore. Their exchange rate is just horrible. I'll give you an example for Polish Zloty (PLN) which is my native currency here in Poland.
The official USD -> PLN exchange rate is currently 3.09 while PayPal shows 3.01. You may say – wait, it's just 0.08PLN per one dollar! It indeed isn't unless you convert bigger amounts like $30000 (many authors overcome that value easily). Let's do a basic math:
So someone who earns that amount of money actually pays PayPal about $800 just for a currency conversion. It isn't that nice anymore, is it?
It was my withdrawal method for over 2 years but recently I realized that I lost quiet an amount of money that way. I've switched to SWIFT. But I do not SWIFT the money to a bank account in my native currency but a free USD one (many polish banks allow accounts in a foreign currency). I've also decided to limit my withdrawals to three or even two a year. Even though there is 3 of them then it's 3 * $35 = $105.
But you may ask – all right, cool – but you still need to convert that money. Sure I do! But here comes in help an Online Currency Exchange website called Cinkciarz.pl. Their exchange rate is much better than PayPal's. Here is todays data:
Official: 3.09
PayPal: 3.01
Cinkciarz: 3.08
So how much I loose? Just 0.01 PLN per one dollar. So to compare it to the previous calculations, it's $30000*0.01 = 300PLN ~ $100.
To sum it up, with PayPal I'd loose $800 just to get my money into my polish bank account. With SWIFT, USD bank account and Online Exchange Rate website I loose $205.
Well, it's all possible if there is a website like Cinkciarz in your country but I'm pretty sure there is. For anyone whose marketplace income is higher than $10 000 and does not live in USA, I strongly suggest to see if the withdrawal method described above wouldn't be better!
Warm Regards,
Hello there,
I should definitely start looking over the forums more frequently!
First of all – if you ever have a question concerning my theme (Purity), please use it's Comments Section or just drop me a private message. That's the best and fastest (I reply usually within few hours) way of getting support.
As for your issue Tapupartforpres, TimThumb does not support images with the tilda "~" character within their URL. Anyway, TimThumb is some really old stuff and I'm going to replace it completely very soon so stay tuned!
Best Regards,
Hello there,
I wish I saw this thread earlier. Must start looking at the ThemeForest's General forum for support requests regarding my theme I guess.
As for the slider not working properly:
- Make sure that the page you are expecting the slider to appear is using the "Homepage" page template.
- Check if any of the Slider settings in the Theme Option / Slider menu is blank. If yes then please fill them up with these values: http://bit.ly/uEbGH2
- It could also be a jQuery conflict so please try deactivating all of the plugins you've got installed and test the slider again. If it works then it means that one of them is breaking the slider script.
And just a little tip for a future: if you ever occur an issue, why not contact the theme author himself?
Best Regards,
Thank you for all your kind comments!
@Alexlasek Dziekuje.
@Jonathan I've been actually looking for a high quality notebook for few weeks and seems like I don't need to anymore. Moleskine is perfect. As for the Vegemite – it's taste was a shock to me. And I'm guessing that I won't run out of it for a little while..
@PureThemes I was really lucky about receiving it yesterday as I'm leaving home for two weeks in several minutes. And you are right – I'm from Poland. I was contacting you at the beginning of my ThemeForest journey regarding taxes.
@kailoon Well hidden!
@Jordan Haven't seen a better quality notebook here in Poland yet. And you can get the Moleskine only from people who import them outside the country borders. Lucky me!
Hello everyone!
I've been more of a lurker on these forums but because of this special occasion and all the excitement, I couldn't resist creating a thread myself.
So, as the title says – my Care Package has been shipped today! I was more excited than children at the christmas morning. But I calmed down, decided to take a few photos and share them with you.
Here they are:
The untouched box. It looks like customs had a nice look inside. I'm guessing they expected a wild australian snake to be there. Also blurred my address in case anyone would want to steal my vegemite jar.
The box opened.
All of the stuff!
Tim Tams themselves. And trust me – they are as delicious as Australians say. Did a Tim Tam Slam with hot Nesquik chocolate. I truly tasted the heaven. It's a pity they are not available here.
The package on the table and Tim Tams few seconds later..
And the Elite T-Shirt itself!
I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped me get where I am now: Envato for running all these amazing websites from Tuts+ network (where I actually learnt to code) to Marketplaces, my family for supporting me, buyers for choosing my themes among hundreds of others, Siddharth for being a fantastic reviewer, Mr M. for taking a look at my designs before they are sent into the queue and of course this incredible community. You are the best!
Friend from Poland,

A little about me?Maryland born, Pennsylvania raised, in a very close family, but not so close that they intrude on my life. I take care of myself and think I do a pretty good job at it (no complaints from the cats). I love to cook so you will not go hungry (as long as you clean up). I love to travel when I have the money and have been many places in this world, but there is so much more to see. I have no children and have never been married. Don?t know why it hasn?t happened yet, but I'm in no rush. What am I looking for you ask? Two things I look for in a woman?..First if you have a warm smile you are halfway there. Second, if you can laugh at this crazy world we live in and have a sense of humor that can make me laugh I am sure we will get along. I am a people person and can talk to just about anybody about anything. Oh, I don?t think I mentioned my love for football and the Washington Redskins. On Sundays or Mondays, or the occasional Thursdays and Saturdays I'll be watching the game. You are welcome to join me but the cats tend to hide from me when the games are on. What do you think? If I am not your knight in shining armor that?s ok, but if nothing else I make a great friend and you can never have too many of those. -------------UPDATE-------------- I am back in the dating scene and realize that dating is just getting to know different people and learning something about them, their interests, and maybe, just maybe something about myself as well. I love to learn and feel that everyone I meet has something to teach me. So if you have an interest that I don't maybe you could open my eyes to something new.

I have Cats
A orange boy cat named Big Fatty and a Tuxedo girl named Black and White Cat. I know dumb names, but they don't care nor mind.
I love Rehoboth Beach, DE. My family had a beach house there until 1999 and I miss it. I started going there when I was 10 weeks old and feel a deep connection to the place. I also love Washington, DC and visit whenever I get a chance.
Johnson & Wales University, Providence, RI
I am a fan of 80's and Classic Rock . As for TV Shows, well I hate network TV and tend to watch the news as well as Discovery, History, Smithsonian, and a few other channels. Lately I have become addicted to BBC America, don't know why.
I just got my motorcycle my license in June. I never thought I would like to ride, but I think I am addicted to it. Oh yeah, and I wear a helmet, and a riding jacket (just wanted to throw that in).

Warning! This article discusses Eclipse 3.4 and has not been updated. These instructions are not valid for later versions of Eclipse. For more recent information about using Eclipse with Google Apps and App Engine, see Using the Google Plugin for Eclipse.
Joscha Feth
June 2008
This article was written and submitted by an external developer. The Google App Engine team thanks Joscha Feth for his time and expertise.
As a fan of Eclipse and being new to Python development, I searched for an Eclipse Python extension and finally found PyDev sourceforge project. I know this is basic stuff, but it took me several minutes to find out how to get code completion working with Google App Engine.
So here is a small how-to for getting App Engine with Eclipse and PyDev up and running.
Downloading the components
Before you get started, you will need to set up your environment properly. To do this, you will need to download and configure the following components on your machine:
- Get Python and install it.
- Get Eclipse and unzip it.
- Get the Google App Engine SDK and install it.
Installing PyDev on Eclipse
Once you have the above components, you can set up the PyDev Eclipse extension, which is customized for Python developers.
- Open Eclipse and go to Help -> Software Updates -> Find and Install.
- Locate and Install PyDev:
- Choose Search for new features to install and click on Next.
- Click on New remote site:
- Choose a name.
- Enter "http://pydev.org/updates/" in the URL field.
- Click OK.
- Select the PyDev update site you just added:
- Click on Finish
- After the update site has been searched, choose to install the PyDev for Eclipse:
- Click on Next.
- Accept the agreement.
- Click on Finish.
- Click on Install All.
- Choose Yes to restart Eclipse.
- After Eclipse restarts:
- Choose Windows -> Preferences to bring up the preferences dialog.
- Change to the PyDev -> Interpreter - Python section to configure Python.
- Click on New which is located just right of the "Python interpreters" field to add an interpreter:
- Search for the "python.exe" executable (normally in C:\Python25).
- After you select the executable, PyDev will search for libraries, and the following screen appears:
- Normally, the pre-selection done by PyDev is fine, so click OK to accept the system pythonpath entries.
- In the Preferences window, click OK to confirm your changes.
Starting Your First Project
After you have PyDev installed on Eclipse, you are ready to start developing your application!
- Let's create our first Python project:
- Right-click on the Package Explorer and choose New -> Other.
- In the upcoming dialog, select Pydev project from the Pydev folder.
- Create a new helloworld project with Python 2.5 (important!):
- After clicking Finish, Eclipse should switch to the Pydev view.
- Right click on your new project and choose Properties.
- In the properties dialog, choose the PyDev - PYTHONPATH section to add the App Engine libraries (we need this for proper code assist).
- Click on Add source folder to add the following folders from your "google appengine" folder:
- Click OK to confirm your changes.
- Go to Run -> Open Run Dialog.
- Choose Python Run and add a new launch configuration (document icon with the plus sign in the top left of the dialog):
- Name your run configuration.
- Under "Project", add your Google App Engine Python project.
- Under "Main Module", enter the location of the "dev_appserver.py" script.
- Change to the "Arguments" tab and enter "${project_loc}/src" as first argument:
After this argument, you may add all available additional arguments listed on the Dev Webserver documentation page. (Here, for example we changed the port where GAE is listening to 9999.)
- Click on Apply to save your changes.
- Click on Run to run your project.
From now on, you can run your project by selecting your configuration from the "Run" dropdown and access your app on http://localhost:9999/. If an error occurs, you can see it in the console view of Eclipse and click on it to jump to the error location within your scripts:
When you are ready to upload your app, simply upload the application's 'src' folder using appcfg.py.

Five federal regulatory agencies including the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), have approved a final rule that modifies the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014 (HFIAA). The final rule applies to loans secured by properties located in special flood hazard areas and implements provisions related to the escrowing of flood insurance payments and the exemption of some detached structures from the mandatory flood insurance purchase requirement. The final rule also implements provisions in the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 (the Biggert-Waters Act) relating to the force placement of flood insurance.

I've been playing with the idea of trying handcoloring and was curious to know if any other APUGers were doing this. A search turned up this cool, informative thread!
Gldn, thanks for the info about making your own PM Solution as well as the Marlene stuff. One clarification; Do you use the Carbosol straight or mix it with something?
I was also curious to know if anyone has tried using Conte pastel pencils? I really like the way they blend and the color seems to lay down smoother than the Prismacolor pencils. But then, I haven't tried dipping the pencils in the PM solution. Is that the trick?
Does anybody have any example of their hand coloring efforts in any of the APUG galleries?
Thanks all

U.S court orders seizure of Ibori's assets
The United States Department of Justice has secured a restraining order on the assets of former Delta State governor, James Ibori.
The assets in question include more than $3 million looted funds and a mansion in Houston, Texas, U.S.
The former governor is currently serving a 13-year jail term in the United Kingdom for corruption and money laundering.
He was convicted and sentenced by a British court on April 18.
The department got the powers through an application filed under seal on May 16 in U.S District Court in the District of Columbia, to register and enforce two orders from United Kingdom courts against more than $3 million in corruption proceeds related to Ibori.
The Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Justice Department's Criminal Division and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director, John Morton, disclosed this in a statement on the U.S Justice Department website on Tuesday.
"The application seeks to restrain assets and other proceeds of corruption belonging to Ibori and Bhadresh Gohil, Ibori's former English solicitor.
"Specifically, it seeks to restrain a mansion in Houston and two Merrill Lynch brokerage accounts. U.S. District Judge Lamberth granted the application and issued a restraining order under seal on May 21.
"The department was notified today that its application to unseal the restraining order was granted.
"The United States is working with the United Kingdom's Crown Prosecution Service and the Metropolitan Police Service to forfeit these corruption proceeds," the statement said.
According to the application, Ibori served as the governor of Nigeria's oil-rich Delta State from 1999 to 2007, and misappropriated millions of dollars in Delta State funds.
He laundered those proceeds through a myriad of companies, intermediaries and nominees in several jurisdictions, including the UK, with the help of Gohil.
Although Nigeria's Constitution prohibits state governors from maintaining foreign bank accounts and serving as directors of private companies, Ibori and his associates accumulated millions of dollars in assets in the UK and U.S, according to the application.
Gohil was also convicted in November 2010 of money laundering and prejudicing a money laundering investigation and was sentenced by a British court to 10 years in prison.
"Instead of working to benefit the people of the Niger Delta, Ibori pilfered state funds and accumulated immense wealth in the process," said Assistant Attorney General Breuer.
"He conspired with Mr. Gohil to funnel millions of dollars in corruption proceeds out of Nigeria and into bank accounts and assets maintained in the names of shell companies and nominees," he added.

Spielberg's made-for-TV 'Lincoln'
Hal Holbrook was once television's go-to guy to portray Abraham Lincoln.
He starred in the six-part "Lincoln" in 1974, considered the first TV miniseries, based on Carl Sandburg's biography, and again in 1985 in the miniseries "North and South" and its sequel. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
Off the Wall's 'Gigi' retains its charm
Opening in 1958, "Gigi" won nine Oscars, including best picture. Opening in 1973, a stage adaptation - using the same enchanting songs (and four new ones) by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe - closed after 103 performances.
I didn't see the Broadway production, so I can't tell you what went wrong. But since I have seen the current production of "Gigi" being directed by Dale Gutzman at Off the Wall Theatre, I can state with certainty that Broadway ought to give this chestnut another look. »Read Full Article(2)

400m track gold medalist Sanya Richards-Ross and her husband Jacksonville Jaguards Aaron Ross had their reality show pilot picked up.
Sanya Richards-Ross (oh she off 400m gold medal fame) had her reality show pilot picked up by the WE channel. The same channel that airs such favorites as Bridezillas and Braxton Family Values. The pilot was apparently shot before she went to London.
Richards-Ross and her husband are an accomplished and very good-looking pair. So I'm not opposed to seeing them on TV and I think two married athletes is bound to be interesting. Howwwwwwwwwwwever. Based on what I've seen, reality TV kills marriages and it's about the last thing I'd want to do if I finally found a man I love. I certainly hope it all works out for the Rosses –as the great prophet Diamond in the movie Player's Club said "Make the money, don't let it make you." I know, deep right? [To finish reading this post click Read More] I would plan to watch the show but I don't have WE channel. If it turns up on you tube I'll definitely post an episode. Here's a clip from their Platinum Weddings episode mentioned above.
The TV pilot stems from a development deal WE had with unscripted production company Good Clean Fun (Tia & Tamera). It was shot in Austin before Richards-Ross left for London and offers an insider's look at her rigorous training regime as well as her personal life. Richards-Ross is married to two-time Super Bowl champion Aaron Ross who just signed a 3-year $15 million contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The reality series reveals the often intense rivalry between the hyper competitive couple. (Ross was in the stands on Sunday cheering on his wife with her parents when she won the Olympic gold.) The TV project also provides a behind-the-scenes look at Richard-Ross' inner circle that includes her mother Sharon acting as her agent, her father Archie working as her manager and her sister Shari as her business partner. Sanya and Aaron are not strangers to WE — their nuptials were featured on the channel's show Platinum Weddings.

You Can Tell She Does Her Squats
Following @MichelleBalvs on Twitter was one of the greatest decisions I've made in my life. If I could, I'd take this woman up to the mountains and live in a secluded booty-filled paradise for the rest of my life. But since kidnapping is illegal and this isn't the recurring dream that's filled my brain every night for the last several weeks where she goes willingly… I'll settle for a low resolution photo of her beautiful booty in the shortest shorts she could find.
If there is ever a moment where you think that Michelle Balvs might be in your league, have a look at the pictures below and realize you're not even playing the same sport.
