I got so much trouble on my mind Refuse to lose.
Even if the review was true (which its not)
For a 1 payment only game , that pumps new content every 2 weeks , and has everyone as his dog playing it.
I think its worth it
Actually I am suprised to see "TRIAL REVIEW" i thought that any serious MMO player allready has it.

OP, your entire negatively biased opinion lost every possible credibility when you said that Rift runs smoothly and GW2 is clunky.
Seriously, why fanatics try too hard to bash other games? You entire post is a fallacy

Thanks to the commenters that liked the article and understand the facts presented.
Just to highlight on the general other negative comments:
1) Majority of people touched on all the sub subjects, like: "Oh, there is only one Minotaur (actually there are mobs of them the second you log in the game. They are fighting the local towns folk in endless waves and you can test out combat for the first time there. I take it 90% of the comments left here have never played this game, and flaming). But not one person here against the article has argued the massive problem/issue/subject. The insta teleporting. The combat, the death, the easiness...They all picked the weak arguments and posted. I can roll with that. Let's say I made it up and there is only 1 Minotaur....That has nothing to do with the rest of the core game mechanics discussed in the game.
2) Because the main issues every one avoids and "trolls" the other weaker points are still there and glaring, this entire post is FACT and not Opinion.
3) But I do not like to call it "problems", because as I concluded. Kids need to start somewhere, and some times it is not a progression. It is not "start here, end here". Maybe people want to stay in this title for all the ease, and shallowness it has to offer. Nothing wrong with that. Not once did I say there was a problem with that. To each their own.
The only thing this article should be taken with these facts is: "This is how it is, before you slap down that cash, is that what you want?" - And "I enjoy this kind of game: (RIFT, TERA, etc..) so will I find those game elements in this game?" and the answer is, yes, some familiar things in mmorpgs are here in GW2, and no, you will not like it if you currently enjoy the challenges of these other titles that seperate themselves from this kind of theme park. Last question "I loved GW1, Is this the immersive world of GW brought to life? No, it is as shallow as a plastic kiddy pool and has NO GUILD WARS, but yes, the graphics are pretty so if you want to see pretty places from the creators of GW 1....go ahead.

I think there are some valid points hidden amongst your review but I really can't accept it as anything other than a biased review by someone who had already decided they didn't like the game. In order to give a proper review you need to leave all your prejudices at the door and look at the game with fresh eyes when playing it.
I take it the pictures you posted were your own and not someone else's? The last one seems to suggest that you had already formed your opinion of this game, i.e. that it's poor and is for children, right at the very start - to quote "This game sucks, and is like putting on a pair of pampers." From the rest of the picture it seems this opinion was made when you were lvl 1, with only the 1st two skills of your starting weapon unlocked, and in the starting zone before you had even entered the game proper, and probably after only fighting 3 or 4 mobs to unlock the second weapon skill.
Such evidence of a preformed opinion makes it very difficult to take your review seriously.

Just think... minotaur burns the city.
Actually I feel very sad for the OP. He's missing a very good game. And the reason for it is his own ignorance and inability to see things in the way they really are.

I'm curious, has no one noticed from the OP's screen shots and iffy diction that they're clearly not a native English speaker?
Or would that just get in the way of trying to use an idiotic thing like mixing up 'centaur' and 'minotaur' to "prove" the OP wrong?

I just noticed the last picture of the OP. THe OP conveniently typed the game sucks and blah blah blah and took the screenshot. Everything is in french, except that specific message. How convenient.
One of the longest troll posts, full of inaccurate opinions you wrongly state as facts. All that just to show everyone that you didnt like the game. Thats how you see why mmorpgs need to stop catering to young audiences. They have no idea how to share their opinions with others without pretending to be the most accurate reviewers after playing a free trial weekend.

Im usually not the one that answers to this kind of post but i can't resist the urge.
So you have the combination of a height slider, 7 base body types, 18 skin colors, 11 faces, 24 hair styles including accessories, 46 hair colors, 21 accessory colors, 12 facial features, 31 eye colors, 19 sliders to change all aspects of your face and that counts as being limited?
Not to count the insane amount (currently above 400) of dyes you can unlock and the wide variety of armor skins.
Here is a great subreddit that show how deeply customized GW2 characters are
The Worldmap is bound to M by default, M for Map and H for Hero. I don't see too much wrong with this, if you are accustomed to use another button you sure are free to change
that but don't put it like the standard binds are illogical.
Yeah sure, in the screenshot you showed us you have to camera zoomed in to the minimum during a large boss fight. That doesn't strike anyone? How about you just zoom out.
GW2 also has a feature that allows you to zoom further out during boss fights.
Yes and that actually makes sense doesn't it? You are talking about the first few hours into the game. Players should be guided by the game to not get lost.
Other than that the map and locations greatly open up very early on as you can easily travel to any other starting zone and level there. You are never limited to one place to level and that especially becomes true with the fact that you can level at zones lower than your current level without any penalties.
Again, you are talking about the first steps into the world, what do you expect.
You are saying that you enjoy RIFT and Tera, those games where exactly the same.
The starter island of Tera can be completed with auto attacking only.
This part is just pure badmouthing all around. The game is not only fluff, the game is not small and shallow after all and the UI is fine.
First up your disregarded the point that you actually have to unlock all the waypoints before you are able to use them and on the other side, waypoints are not made to make
sense. This feature was just a gameplay choice made by the developers. If you actually
had played beyond one zone you would have experienced that at times you travel quite a lot in GW2. Imagining having to travel from Lions Arch to Citadel of Flames via mount
just to do some CoF runs makes me happy to have this feature.
Because you only played a few hours. There are plenty of cinematics during dungeons, personal story and living world content and cinematic like encounters are also found
in the open world. You keep on blabbering about that everything is instanced but
on the other hand it seems that you didn't even finish up a third of the first open world map?
So you base your characters identity on the skills he can use. How about the back story you choose, the character customization and the choices you make through your story to define the identity of your character? No?
Plus again, you only played the first few hours, the game is supposed to be easy.
The first part is utter bull crap, your character will stop attacking once monsters run out of your range.
Also it's not the case that you get whacked by monsters magically being 3 levels higher than anything else. Even it was the case, you wanted a bigger challenge didn't you?
Killing monsters 3 levels above your level should be easy if you actually move and use your skills correctly.
Thats because you didn't die, you got downed. You are dead when your downed bar is empty not when you get downed.
Plain lie or missinformation.
Misinformation again, dodge is very effective and heavily needed in later content.
Without it you won't survive many dungeons and regular PVE situation.
It seems like the second part of your review is just plain misinformation and lies.
No monsters in Tera or GW2 run out of your AOE
Sure... not enough players at your level... You know that sPVP is completely free of level unbalance and WvW scales you up to level 80?
Again like to many times already total bullshit lies.
Lie/Misinformation (This gets old...) and why would you care about armor repairs if
the game is so easy and railed that you can do it while being tabbed anyway?
So how is WoW dead with 7m subscribers and how is RIFT (that you seem to like as you mentioned it quite often) in comparison to that?
In conclusion i would suggest you go back to the games you like and stop bothering others
Because the reviewer seemed to think his position was unassailable, I thought I'd go through his points one by one, and explain all the problems with his review.
It's not that I =couldn't= do it, but it was just so full of inaccuracies that it seemed like an obviously huge waste of time. But I'm going to do it anyway because people seem to think the 'centaur/minotaur' thing is the only possible complaint. I am basically reading through the review and ticking off points as I see errors, so this is vaguely linear to the review. Not going to quote it all, because it was bad enough reading it without trying to figure out how to chop it all up.
1. Can the reviewer run the game with his system. Yes. Will it run well? No. Let's just get that out of the way right now. The screenshots alone show that that substandard laptop isn't doing so hot at handling the game. This is important, because this ties into things later on in the review.
2. Character creation: You can change faces quite a bit if you play with the sliders more, and there's a bunch of facial presets. It's not the game with the most changes possible, but it's better than average. As somebody who keeps on quoting RIFT as his game of choice, at least it's not RIFT. ;)
3. He doesn't like the character models. This is personal opinion, and a matter of taste. Not much to say here other than 'you don't like the models' is your opinion so fine, but suggesting that it's purely tuned towards young boys is fairly ignorant and bordering on insulting. But whatever. Let's move on.
4. The choices you make during biography affects the game starting from level 3. He didn't notice this, which strongly suggests he wasn't paying much attention at all. And/or didn't play very much at all.
5. 'Noob experience is a scripted experience and feels like a tutorial.' Yes. Yes it is both scripted and a tutorial. Most MMORPGs start you off with some sort of tutorial. RIFT does. WoW does. Tutorials are useful. Not everybody has played an MMORPG before. A little bit of a build up so you can walk straight before you get in a hardcore dungeon experience or something? Not the worst idea. He phrased this as a complaint, which was a little strange.
6. So far as camera turning speed, I think it's the reviewers subpar laptop. A standard method of speed running with many classes is to =instantly= turn your camera 180 degrees, activate a skill that sends you backwards at high speed, then switch back 180 degrees, without breaking stride. I can smoothly rotate my camera at ridiculously fast speeds. This is necessary for some advanced techniques. If you can't rotate your camera smoothly and quickly, you need a new computer (Or turn down the settings)
7. The key 'm' opens map already. Another example of an outright factual error. Not 'a minor detail', but a fairly important mistake. NOt sure why you'd have to rebind that. In fact, I'm looking at the keyboard/mouse controls pamphlet now, just to make sure I didn't rebind in my sleep. 'm'is world map. Yes, it's true that 'h' opens up your [H]ero panel. :P You can rebind that to C if it makes you happier. I've usually found that in many MMOs I find some key or another I end up wanting to rebind. I'm pretty used to 'h' already though. This is hardly a valid complain either. I've found WAY too many MMOs use some weird key way off to the side for auto run, when I prefer 'r'. I just rebind it and move on.
8. Not actually a RIFT in the tutorial, that's an earth/wind elemental, coming out of the ground...this is almost as bad as when people accuse games of ripping off Warcraft because they have orcs (Like LOTRO. Stupid LOTRO, so unoriginal).
9. For the reviewer: if you're zoomed in too close, zoom out. Your mouse wheel does that for you. It's the thing between your left and right mouse buttons. If you don't have one, there are camera key binds, but who the heck even uses those?
10. It's an impressive looking boss, but no, it's not really the most epic battle in terms of strategy or something. Of course, it's also about the 5th kill by this point in time. Most MMOs don't expect you to have all of your combat abilities and knowledge by the 5th mob you run across. Also, the reviewer is a very bad player (At GW2. They might be great at other MMOs), so he should look at it as a mercy that they don't. (More on this later)
11. GW2 has 5 starter regions. =5=. Every single one of them is available from level 2. You can do any area within about 3-5 levels upward of you and however many levels you want backwards. Of course, he never got past level 4 (Check the screenshots), so he wouldn't know about backwards scaling. Progression is only completely linear if you're bad at playing (Can't push past your current level), aren't aware you have options, and stop playing by level 4 (So you never experience walking to an earlier part. Because there are no earlier parts). GW2 does, in fact, start pushing you around to other regions if you follow the story a little. Say, somewhere less than 5 gameplay hours. Which he didn't, because didn't get past level 4 so far as I can tell. He says he was hemmed in because at level 3 he'd run into a level 6 monster... but that gets back to the 'bad GW2 player' part. Which I'm still getting to later. Taking these points in order.
12. In the review, he doesn't appear to have done any events. He only talks about hearts, even though in one of the screenshots, it actually shows an event circle. He doesn't MENTION it in his review though. In fact the screenshot with the event circle talks about there not appearing to be anything else to do. Another reason why there's no evidence he played even 5 hours of gametime. This might partly be the fault of GW2's ability to explain what they have to offer, a lot of people seem to be confused by how events work or what they are, and focus unduly on hearts, which are a fraction of the actual content.
13. While the occasional heart is really interesting, I can actually agree that many of them aren't really that great. But, they're not actually required. Nor are they the most efficient way to level up. The reviewer is mistaken here. They're a possible way, but they're more sort of filler background content to keep you busy between events.
14. 'Farting gives you EXP. No joke. Seriously'. I just had to quote that line, because... well. It's obviously a joke. And then he claims it isn't. TWice. Not sure what's up with this.
15. 'You will not need to open windows to pull things out, use certain things, look at stats. You have1 window MAX at almost all times'. Yes. That's pretty much true (Except for 'look at stats'). That's a good thing. What confuses me is 'It creates the most easy MMORPG, skill lacking, reward showering, theme park mmorpg I have ever played'. I have never ever found opening a window to click on some item to interact with a quest to be an example of skill, or intelligence, or difficulty. It's just less elegant design. If somebody wants a certain item, and you're holding it, having a single button give that person that certain item is an example of good, clean design. It's not removing skill, because there's no skill involved in having a window open and dragging your item from one window to another, or whatever, unless you have some sort of severe motor control problem (In which case may I recommend Cookie Clicker. Trying to keep your mouse on the giant cookie will tax your skills to the utmost).
16. By level 4 (Possibly level 5. I don't see a screenshot for anything past level 4, but he does have a screenshot with 4 hearts, and that could be as much as level 5), it's true there aren't really much in the way of skill or stat distribution or traits. But what MMO has that by level 4? Who is going to waste that much time? You just equip whatever you pick up and wear armor like a hobo until you get to more serious, later game parts. All the customization is way past the point he ever reached from everything said in the review and the screenshots. He didn't say 'This is how GW2 does it and this is how RIFT does it, and RIFT's method is superior' (Something that is a matter of opinion but at least excusable), but 'This is how RIFT does it, and GW2 doesn't have any customization at all (Pst: Because he never got that far). It's not a comparison of how the two have customization, it's his explanation of RIFT's customization next to... him having no idea about any of GW2's customization and not even mentioning its existence. That's like me comparing 2 hours of demo play in RIFT with my level 80 GW2 character. The difference in customization is huge! Because... it's not a fair comparison, or one that makes any sense.
17. Yes. Mail can be opened and sent from anywhere. NOtice the awesome carrier pigeons! It's pretty sweet. I love having the carrier pigeons fly in. :D If you want a physical object to interact, the banks are physical. The trading post is physical. Many, many things are physical objects you need to interact with. Mail is carrier pigeons.
18. Yes you can pick up a bottle and throw it. Yes, it won't kill or even hurt a friendly NPC. But... uh. In almost every MMORPG out there, you can't hurt friendly NPCs. If 'can't hurt a friendly NPC with a bottle' qualifies it as useless fluff... then every single thing in RIFT is useless fluff. Every single thing in WoW. Barring a very small subset of hardcore 'kill anything' MMOs (There's surely one like this out here though I can't name them), you simply can't attack friendly NPCs. You can take the bottle, walk out of the bar, and bash it in an enemies face though. Some environmental weapons are incredibly deadly, in fact.
19. Holy crap I see now why nobody bothered responding to this guy. There's so many mistakes it's like slogging through a river of wrong, and it makes me feel like I'm picking on him. Oh well. Time to continue. The hot bar/UI is a matter of taste. A lot of people like it. Some people don't. This is opinion. Oddly enough this is one thing that a lot of professional game reviewers praised it on though. It's nice to me, but hey, reviewer doesn't like it, whatever. Nobody's fault he has his own particular taste. SOme people like Miley Cyrus. Not going to judge. Let's move on.
20. Instant teleporting: First of all, you have to find an instant teleport spot before you can use it. So you still have to explore the first time around. Second of all, many locations only have teleports vaguely near them. During events, many teleporters don't even work. This is, in fact, a convenience thing. It's for people in a hurry who value their time more than money. It does actually have an in game reason. He missed the explanation for this, the same way he missed events, how combat works, and 4 other starting zones.
21. There are many things that happen in the open world, rather than in cinematics. The reviewer must be talking about the personal story when he talks about people talking to each other in the game in a cut scene where they're side by side. There were various design reasons for that method of storytelling, I'm not particularly fond of it, and thankfully they're moving past it. BUT, it's a very small part of how characters interact. He specifically complains about characters not doing things in certain ways, when they actually do. There are times when characters talk to you and other people can hear them. People move around and do things out in the world. Things explode, people run around and plant explosives, all sorts of things. These sorts of things happen during events. Every single one of them has the dialogue and movement in the open world. The reviewer missed EVERY SINGLE ONE of them, or chose to ignore their existence. Since there are =67= of them in the Queensdale starting zone alone (More than 3 times as many as there are hearts, in fact), this either speaks to an extremely biased review, or somebody who has a hard time noticing things, or somebody who didn't spend more than a couple hours. (Or, most likely, a combination of all three).
22. This reviewer really likes poop. He mentions poop twice and farting another time. There's no poop. :( This wouldn't annoy me so much if he didn't keep harping on it as if there was actually huge amounts of actual poop quests in the game, not to mention the time he mentioned it's not a joke and it's for real. M... maybe there are in the French version. Anybody out there speaks French who can check the dialogue? Maybe all the heart text was replaced with 'poop' by a crazy translator. :( (I notice responding to points in order makes me sound crazy. This review is sort of disjointed, so I randomly respond to things that won't make much sense unless you reread the review. No way in hell I'm quoting all that and making this twice as long)
23. Evidence he never reached level 7 - no mention of the hot key that swaps between two weapon sets. Talking about sticking in a new weapon to change. Further proof that this review, for something so LONG, is based on nearly no gameplay at all (People can beat up to level 10 in story in less than an hour. This is key grinding, so it's a bit faster than normal, but it's not THAT much faster).
24. He talks about playing exclusively with auto attack and winning. Then when he dies, complains that it's 'just cheap design'. If your level 3 can't beat a level 6, they are bad. That's right. This player is a bad player. Beats up trash mobs at his level or less using auto attack, rather than experimenting with skills while it's safe... can't beat characters that provide any sort of challenge, blames it on the game being cheap.
It's not cheap until the level gets so high your damage is 'glancing'. I have a problem where I plow through the game skipping hearts, and eventually I'll get up to enemies so high that I can't actually do any meaningful damage to them. Now THAT is a problem. Not being able to beat a level 6 at level 3? Poor skills, compounded by him thinking that combat consists of hitting auto attack, making a sandwich, and winning. He never ran into ettins, any halfway decent centaur, anything that kites him.... basically, anything past around the level 2-5 enemies. Also, this is pretty much a staple of MMORPG combat. FFXIV, WoW, RIFT, SWTOR, TSW.... yes, GW2, all these games, the combat for the first several levels can be laughably easy. The game is basically assuming you're still trying to figure out how to walk straight, and throwing extremely deadly enemies at you would be rude. Yes, as you play more MMORPGs, it can feel sort of insulting, but this is pretty much ALL MMORPGs (Including RIFT), because they're all hoping they'll bring in players that are new to the genre. The easiest way to fix this in most MMORPGs is just blunder forward at high speed until you start running into fights that kick your ass. Getting up to level 5 and complaining the combat system is shallow just suggests you are still dipping your toes in the pool and guessing. I think it's silly when people do it about FFXIV, it's silly here too. It's silly in general. MMORPGs ramp up slow. It's a genre thing.
25. He thinks the solution to beating enemies he can't beat is to farm xp until he can auto attack. =alternatively=, the solution to beating enemies you can't beat is.... stop playing like you are going to the kitchen and making a sandwich. :T
26. You can cheat death if you do well. Trust me, downed state is not going to save your ass when the game gets hard. He shouldn't be proud that he 'cheated death' when he got out of downed state against a level 2 bandit. You're allowed to be proud of your 'cheating death' skills when you're downed in a 3v1 pvp fight, and then KILL THEM ALL. That's worth boasting about. Don't look at downed state as 'you die and then you have more life and you can totally win easier than in other games', look at it as 'When you get down to 25% of your life, suddenly your combat skills are severely compromised'. It's a mechanism that makes more sense in context of spvp, and advanced play. Since he hasn't gotten past level 5 (I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt here by the way. If he has gotten to level 10, and managed to miss basic game elements that he did, he's so horribly unobservant that it's like reviewing super Mario Bros and complaining about the lack of any powerups) he just isn't aware of how it's used, and complaining about it is just from an extremely insufficient knowledge base.
27. You are NOT dead when you are downed. The game doesn't call you dead. You are not a zombie on the ground. You are downed. There is a distinct difference between being downed and being dead. Being dead does, in fact, cost money and damage armor. In dungeons, you can't revive at all until your whole party gets out of combat. Against world bosses, you have to pay for a teleport back, to repair your armor AND you have a pretty decent sized run ahead of you depending on the boss. In level 2 tutorial land? Yeah. It's a slap on the wrist. Pretty par for the course for MMORPGs, which don't bother to punish you hardcore while you're still figuring out how to rotate your camera.
28. Gear gets better. Hardly anybody in the game has BiS items for everything. But hey. Reviewer never made it past level 5, I'm sure his review on how gear works is perfectly reliable.
29. NPCs falling off a mountain in reaction to an AOE: Factually wrong. NPCs never fall off anything. They're total jerks that way. It's built in to avoid people exploiting maps by just leveling by flinging enemies off cliffs all day long. There's places where you could level in minutes if you were allowed to use knockback abilities on enemies. NPCs just do not, will not, have not, and can not fall off mountains. This is annoying sometimes, but in the case of this review, just one more thing he got wrong.
30. PvP can be done from level 1. You go straight to level 80. Level of other players has nothing to do with it. :/ (And considering this was a limited trial, the claim there wasn't anybody his level seems a little doubtful anyway)
31. Last screenshot? Person is talking about how much the game sucks with his level 1 character. This is not a biased review at all. ;) I guess I take everything back, since journalistic ethics are strong here. Surely any mistakes were minor and unintentional.

Just to reiterate what I said earlier. Anyone who wants an honest review of this game who is deciding whether or not to play it should completely ignore everything in this review. The game has its own share of problems and someone could write a very negative review that I could get behind most of, but this particular review is rubbish being posted by someone who obviously had an agenda.

Thank you for bothering to quote him. I just couldn't be bothere, but we had almost the same idea at the same time. Even ended up making similar points, though I appreciated some other things you did like point out all the customization chocies. There's 3 freaking sliders for the nose ALONE. Not to mention that you can wear any combination of armor in your armor class, thanks to being able to use the skin from one armor and the stats from another, so end game characdters can look like... whatever with their armor, rather than having a couple BiS looks that you see over and over.
But I did want to say that the teleporters do have a game excuse. They're asura teleporters and people are using a portable teleporter system, with money charged by the rata sum council.
That's how waypoint discounts work, it's the council being convinced to charge you less. :)

My point still remains valid that he's adding poop where it isn't (Namely, the hearts, events and story quests).
Yes, it's useable as a weapon, but that isn't what he claimed.

To all players on the fence. I think it is clear between facts in an article and the fan responses. Keep on the good path. And by the way, you will notice no one has taken on the core elements such as the teleporting mechanics, deep art, but shallow world. Instanced story telling, easy brainless hot bar management. etc. And of course, he wrote a wall of rubbish and outlash without reading my conclusion of the article: "Play it if you want, but be warned it is the childs like moorpg (hence the child young adult models)". And well, community response just supported that claim 100%

It was to a completely jam-packed City Hall, Lagos, that the Afenifere Renewal Group, this past Tuesday, 6 March, 2012, the 103rd post humous birthday of the Avatar, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, made a public presentation of its 80-page seminal document entitled DEVELOPMENT AGENDA FOR WESTERN NIGERIA (DAWN).
But first, some unfinished business.
It was just as well that space constraint ensured that my last week's article could not be fully published as it concerned that chimera, i.e. Engr Segun Oni's case, asking the Appeal Court sitting at Ado-Ekiti to review the judgment by which that honourable court ousted him and restored the Ekiti peoples' mandate to Dr Kayode Fayemi at both the 2007 gubernatorial election proper, as well as at the re-run election which was ordered by the court at its IIorin circuit. Whereas, I have sought to demonstrate the unreasonableness of the case solely on legal basis, I have since been mightily blessed by 'Daddy G.O', that is, Pastor Adeboye, on the subject of fraudulent gains. Wrote he on the Sunday, 4 March, 2012, edition of OPEN HEAVENS: 'any gain made from deceit, fraud and lies will be short lived; initially it will appear as an increase but later it will leave you plundered'. And the remarkable man of God was not just talking but scriptural relying on Proverbs 20: 27 which instructs that 'bread of deceit is sweet to man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel'.
So it is with all stolen mandates.
However, if Engr Oni who twice went to church claiming he was thanking God on his ouster could not be blamed for being unaware of God's words on what Pastor Adeboye called 'Holy Fraud', he must have been completely remiss not to have heard of the legal doctrine: RES JUDICATA which, put simply, forbids a court from reviewing its own judgment. Also, if his lawyers would keep that away from him because this was a very lucrative brief, for which houses were allegedly sold , as a result of which they packed the court expecting victory, he should have, at least, benefited from the well known precedent set by no less than the apex court in the case of Andy Uba who had also chimerically asked the Supreme Court to restore his thrashed governorship by reviewing its own earlier judgment.
I do not think anybody should attempt to restrain Engr Oni from going even beyond the Supreme court, if he can; it is solely left to his whimsical wishes and nobody should accuse his lawyers of being immoral for they know all too well that this is a journey to nowhere. But here, we're talking money; big bucks too.
To the much more momentous event then I return. But also before then, a word about the Peoples Democratic Party which kept Yorubaland under its stranglehold for eight long years during which period their leader, a Yoruba man, was also the President of the Federal Republic. Not for once did one hear them say a thing about economic development in the region, nor would you find, even if you search all the way to Antarctica, a single document comparable to the Afenifere Renewal Group's Development Agenda For Western Nigeria which is a hard-nosed strategy road map for overall development, not only in core Yoruba states but also in Kwara, Kogi, Edo and Delta, where large swathes of our kinsmen are domiciled and there is contiguity. For the PDP, which the American Council on Foreign Relations describes as 'an elite consensus dominated by patronage networks', development in Yoruba land is a non issue; rather it is always about conquering our space even if they had completely run down our road infrastructure; if our education,the greatest Awo legacy, has been bastardised just as our youth and the old were left, unaided, to fend for themselves. All these were cool, as long as their bank accounts, local and foreign, got bigger and properties erupted from under the ground, to their names.
Literally all who had served in the interest of Yoruba land were present at the public presentation. From retired General Adeyinka Adebayo who was once governor of the entire region, Chief Bisi Akande, A C N's National Chairman, the event's Chairman, Mr Fola Adeola to elder statesmen like Senator Ayo Fasanmi, Lt. General Alani Akinrinade,Evangelist Dele Olumilua, Dr Fred Faseun, founder of OPC, former Kwara state governor Latinwo, their Royal Highness es, most of them from Ekiti state, and distinguished personalities too numerous to mention made it a grand occasion. Also in glorious presence were hundreds of Yoruba leading lights in the professions like Chief Wole Olanipekun who is, forever, burning the midnight oil in the service of our people and humanity as well as key private sector leaders. Nor must I forget the distinguished presence of Mr Joe Keshi, former Nigerian Consular-General in the US,and now, Chief Executive Officer of the BRACE Commission; the South- South counterpart to our own South West effort at regional integration. Present too, was former Speaker, House of Representatives, the Rt. Hon. Dimeji Bankole who, indeed, addressed the august gathering to great acclamation, even though that did not sit well with the stormy petrel, and legal icon, Mr Femi Falana, who believes that Dimeji represents a dark phase in the politics of Yorubaland.
Looming large, however, was the man who, besides God Almighty, made the day a reality: the Jagaban Borgu and former governor of Lagos state, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who spared nothing to ensure that the main streamers were not only dusted but banished into political Siberia. To Asiwaju belongs the God-given perspicacity and the coordinating prowess that ensured that illegally acquired mandates in Edo, Ondo, Ekiti and Osun were reclaimed with all the illegal occupiers of the office of governor routed ignominiously.
We are well aware of their current legitimate and illegitimate moves to have a look-in again. But the Yoruba people have said not again, as we will never go back to our vomit like the Ladojas of this world who must traverse all political parties. The Yoruba say, if your neighbour is eating something that will not let him sleep and you do not warn him, you too will not sleep. It therefore behoves us, now that the PDP is again admitting and re-admitting strange bed fellows in the name of reconciliation, that we advise them to spare a thought for the present all-pervading peace in Yoruba land. No longer will our people tolerate a return to the Baba Adedibu-type politics of those days. Economic development is our new mantra as the governors who were the cynosure of all eyes on the day collectively affirmed. Their consuming passion, to the last man, is how to improve on, and indeed, surpass the huge developmental landmarks that our indomitable leader, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, left behind whilst jealously guiding our common patrimony under the aegis of the highly focused Board and Management of the Odua Investment Company Ltd. The company only recently completed The Heritage Mall and The Cocoa Mall, property wonders which in my congratulatory message to Mr Bayo Jimoh, the Group's Managing Director, I described 'as the greatest achievement in the economy of the South West since Awo established that octopoidal conglomerate slightly over half a century ago'. Naturally both the
O'dua Chairman, Chief Sharafadeen Abiodun Alli and the Group Managing Director were present at the event.
On this column has appeared by far too many articles on the DAWN document to make a detailed analysis any longer a desideratum. Suffice it to say, however, that under the lead of the ARG Chairman, Hon Wale Oshun, former member, House of Representatives, former Secretary of NADECO and the leading author on the old Afenifere, the new, fresh and focused Afenifere Renewal Group has shown conclusively that given the right atmosphere, and a serious political leadership dedicated not to the god of mammon as in the days of yore, but to service to our people, the Yoruba can rise to the occasion and redirect the region out of the days of the locust which PDP's illegal suzerainty over Yorubaland represented. I could not have been happier than when I stood up, on the order of an absolutely hard-working Dipo Famakinwa, Secretary, Governing Council of the Yoruba Academy, to be recognized alongside the ladies and gentlemen whose humble efforts culminated in the historic document.
As was the theme of the keynote address expertly delivered by Dr Doyin Salami of the Pan African University, Lagos, Yoruba land is on the march again.
Never again the predators!

Retired outfielder Pat Burrell is getting one more moment in the spotlight at AT&T Park after he became a key member of San Francisco's improbable World Series run two years ago. The former Giants and Philadelphia Phillies star is set to throw out the first pitch before the middle game of the teams' series Tuesday night. Now doing some scouting work for San Francisco general manager Brian Sabean, the 35-year-old Burrell retired after last season because of a troublesome right foot that never fully healed, and he is also currently rehabilitating his surgically repaired left shoulder in Arizona. Burrell appreciated the gesture from Giants president and CEO Larry Baer to pay tribute to the former left fielder, who became a key part of the 2010 band of ''castoffs and misfits.''

Fall is a wonderful time for Tagine Cooking.
I made an Herbed Pork Roast with Apples & Onions
A Tagine is a traditional Moroccan slow-cooking vessel. The unique design allows for condensation to rise and then fall back into the base - which is what makes the dishes prepared within the Tagine very moist and flavorful.
It is kind of like a self-basting mechanism, if you will.
Pictured above - is my own Tagine. The Le Creuset Version.
I recently made a pork roast using the Tagine.
Sear the pork roast on all sides in a medium-high heated Tagine base.
(I used a 1 1/2 lb. pork butt roast)
Season with Salt, Pepper, and White Pepper.
Add the vegetables: Fresh cut green apple slices and sweet vidalia onion quarters.
Add the herbs: Fresh rosemary, sage, and thyme.
Lower the temperature on the Tagine to a low and cover - cook for approximately 4 hours.

It puts my old 8800 to shame in every test I have thrown at it. The true drivers for them have yet to surface as well. I keep GPUZ sensors running on my secondary display while gaming and have seen many cases of unoptimized GPU usage not putting it to 100%. When I see it at 100%, the game is typically flying because those 800SPs are doing their job.
How can you compare 4800 series with almost two old years 8800?. It speaks of garbage ATI makes for the last three years. I don't care about Nvidia and ATI, i just get what's better.
GTX260 for $329 is better deal then HD4870. GTX280 has no competition right now. Just don't tell me HD4870 is faster then GTX260 in what? COD4

bump on cocker spaniels head
- we have a six year old cocker spaniel who has a bump on hi s head it has not grown for almost two years it looks ok. The vet checks it out ever so often.
- —Guest brian
- We just lost a gorgeous 2 yr old Cairn Terrier to stomach cancer. We are devastated. She started out vomiting in the middle of the night small amounts of liquid every now and then. After a couple months she urinated in the house an extremely large puddles which we thought was from our larger dog until I saw her. She started drinking large amounts of water often. Our vet gave her antibiotics after blood and urine test because she had a fever. In two days she stopped eating. I thought it was from the antibiotics. We took her to a different vet who took xrays and found something in her stomach that he thought was a object she ate. He operated and found cancer in her pancreas and stomach. She never woke up. At 2 years old she was a gorgeous picture of health. She was a perfect dog. I am still shocked and terribly heartbroken, I just can't believe it.

Lump on Pups spine
- Got two Black labs cross puppies, littermates under a year old. Found a lump against the boy puppies spine, about the size of a dollar coin. Worried about him, and now going to check the sister over.. They're both still too young, and I hope it's just a fatty lump.
- —Guest Ausi
Freddie is 7 1/2 to 8 years old.
- I've had Fred for about 7 years, couple of years ago felt a tiny moving round lump on his right side. Today it feels a little bigger, so I asked my vet (they only speak spanish) about it. And I've come to the conclusion by looking on this site that it is a fatty tumor. I will keep an eye on it now.
- —Guest Rhoda
found a lump on my dear dogs leg
- I found a lump on my dear dogs leg while washing him tonight. He'll go to the vet tomorrow but I think he has a lipoma. If he can have it removed surgically then so be it but if it's cancer, radiation and chemo are just poisons that make his immune system weak and IT DOESN'T CURE CANCER-surgery of a cancerous mass is real dangerous as those cells get in the blood stream and start metastasizing. I like the Gerson therapy and that is no meat, ground carrots and apples mixed in rice and then I'll give him some fresh fish which isn't part of the gerson therapy. I know we all get rid of cancer cells daily with a proper functioning immune system but money is the root of all evil and "more people live off of cancer then die from it."

joe my australian sheppard
- joe had a large lump on the right side of his head in november 2010. At first there seemed to be no hope of living long. Then Andy Wise from channel 5 in Memphis told me about Dr. Kathy Mitchener. She is the best oncologist in the Mid South. My dog has been living with cancer for for a year and three months due to the great care Dr Mitchner with Angel Care has taken of my beloved dog Joe,and he does not even act sick at this point,but I hold my breath every single day just to spend more time with him.
- —Guest laura Allen
What do I do
- My brothers lab died with little warning after a huge mass was discovered in her tummy. A few weeks later, I found a lump on my wolf. It was small at first and I kept trying to get someone to remove it as it was growing rapidly. Finally when it had grown to almost touching her leg joint, I demanded it removed. The area was left with drain tube and stapled and 5 days after original surgery, a pocket filled and had to go back and this time he sewed the large incision together. My wolf tells me its still hurting, I went back two days ago to see if pocket was filling again and was told it was draining fine. Now I am snowed in 4 feet of snow and it looks like the pocket left is filling and she is in pain taking 50ML liquid Morophine. I am running out of money and my wolf is fed up. She is diabetic also just diagnosed and will not let me give her shot or muzzle her without going crazy. I know this is because she keeps hurting and is getting where she will not trust me. I need help.

Lump in throat
- Our 9 year old choc lab has many lipomas and needle aspiration confirms they are benign. Recently I found a lump in the throat area, the vet says it must come off because of the location, it is also an area full of blood vessels. We are very worried but have agreed to surgery next week. I am so worried whether we are doing the right thing...
- —Guest Denise
cancer in my golden retrievier
- Missy, is 9 years old when she was 4 I noticed a small mole come up on top of her nose, I took her to vet as soon as he saw it he said it had to come off. It was cancer. Since then she has had 4 surgeries.she has a lot of fatty lumps, but the ones they came up like moles were the cancerous ones. Please get them checked. Every one told me it wasn't anything, But it was.
- —Guest Dawn Thrasher
Mast cell tumor
- Our Roxy is a 10 year old border collie/chow mix. A few months back, she developed a tiny bump on the left side of her nose that looked like a papiloma. The vet did an aspirate and didn't see anything definitive, so we decided to watch it. It hasn't grown, but a little over a week ago, I found a tiny red bump on her tummy. This time, the aspirate showed mast cells. So we had both lumps removed and am now awaiting a pathology report. The tummy lump allowed for large margins, but the nose lump obviously did not. Ominously, her nose is now inflamed looking and the incision site is oozing blood (mast cell tumors often secrete histamines when disturbed), so I am very worried. A friend had a dog with a mast cell tumor on his nose a couple of years back, and she opted for radiation treatment. It seems this killed the tumor, but now his nose is permanently scarred and inflamed and he now has skin cancer there. Radiation treatment is very costly, but Roxy is like a child to us.

Bump on nose
- My giant schnoodle, Mirage, had a bump on her nose. I was having tests for breeding so was going to several specialist vets for each type of test. I asked each vet to look at it. They said it was nothing. 2 vets (nothing) later, I took her to my regular vet. He took a slide & showed it to me. It was a sarcopic (sp?) mange. He showed me the slide. It looks like a tiny tick like insect, only microscopic. I used a cream from the vet & eventually it went away. Never a problem again. I have 4 dogs. None of the other had it. Mystery but so glad I caught it before it spread on her or the other dogs. So glad I listened to my intuition in spite of some high grade specialist vet opinions & so grateful that it wasn't something worse!

chest lump operable
- My beloved Zoey is 15 years old, and was diagnosed 6 months ago with limpoma. We are scared to death to lose her, as our vet has told us she may not live through the surgery. This is the second lump, the first was removed 5 years ago. we have discovered a miricle drug called dermax that has changed her life. We strugle with the removal of this cist which has become the size of a golf ball. I have comfort reading these stories because Zoey is my family. I hope to God I am doing the right thing.
- —Guest Cindy Stepp
Histiocytoma onright front paw
- My 2yr.+9mo.old English Springer Spaniel has had the histioctoma lump on her paw for almost 3 mo. Took her to the vet and he told me that the histiocytoma lump will probably go away by itself.. One problem is she is continually licking it. i have applied salves such as Bacitracin and enterderm and covered it with a sock and of course you guessed it the sock didn't stay on very long. I am going to wait it out hoping it will go away on its own. Also because of her licking it bleeds so I feel bad for her because I confine her to the kitchen so she does not get blood on my carpet. What about using the Elizabethan collar the same as if she had surgery?I just want to make my Shalimar happy!!! EDITOR'S NOTE - you can use the e-collar to prevent licking.
- —Guest Karen Johannes
tumor near left eye
- Last weekend we discovered a bump on our 2 yr. old mixed breed. The bump is near his left eye and the size of a dime. It seemed to appear out of nowhere. We had a needle aspiration done immediately and found it is a tumor. We are getting it removed next week and will then know if it is benign or malignant. We are scared but hopeful. He seems himself in every other way.
- —Guest Alicia Morell
Myosarcomas/soft tissue sarcoma
- My Gracie, a collie, had surgery for a growth on her abdomen. I discovered it in Oct.2007. At first, I though it was just fat, but when it went from being about the size of a wedge shaped ice cube to the size of my whole hand in just 3 mos. I knew it was not fat. We had it removed Feb 2008. It came back (our vet told us it could)in Oct 2009. It started out the same, looked like fat hanging down. Then it grew to the size of my hand. She had surgery for it again in Mar. 2010. Cost over $800.00. It started growing again before she got her stitches out. She turned 12 on May 11th. Now, it's the size of a canteloupe. I don't know what to do. I'm not ready to put her to sleep. I was hoping for another two years with her. We don't have the money for another surgery. She has so much life left in her. She loves to play with one of our other dogs, Darlin', in the morning when it cool. They are so cute together.

Playoff Stuff
Penguins - Bruins
-Where do the Penguins go from here?
-"As professional, anything you do in the world, if you don't believe, you don't have a chance to succeed. You always have to believe the highest thing you can imagine. Every time I step on the ice, I want to win the Stanley Cup." - Bruins forward and former Penguin Jaromir Jagr.
-"To beat a team of that caliber the way that we beat them was very satisfying." - Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli.
Blackhawks - Kings
-A hat trick, including a goal in double overtime, by Patrick Kane gave the Blackhawks a 4-3 series-clinching win against the Kings in Game 5. Chicago won the series, 4-1, and advanced to the Stanley Cup final. Captain Jonathan Toews and Bryan Bickell each recorded two assists for Chicago while teammate Corey Crawford made 33 saves in the victory. Anze Kopitar and Mike Richard each had a goal and an assist for Los Angeles.
-Kane's hat trick:

-Kings coach Darryl Sutter didn't seem to appreciate the hats:
-The Western Conference champions with the Clarence Campbell Bowl:
-Shaw dumped Los Angeles' Jake Muzzin into the Blackhawks' bench:
-Quick got down low for this puck:
-"Right now, it's almost like I'm in a different zone, the Twilight Zone or something, I'm kind of out of it. But it's definitely a good feeling." - Kane.
-"I can't stand looking at somebody else raising the Cup. And now we're going to have to do it." - Kings forward Justin Williams on his team failing to defend last season's Stanley Cup championship.
-Richards returned to the lineup after being sidelined since Game 1 due to a suspected head injury.
-After the game, the Kings revealed Williams had been playing with a partially separated shoulder while captain/forward Dustin Brown had a torn PCL in his left knee.
-After the game, the Kings' tremendous Twitter account reached out to someone feeling their pain:

Non-Playoff Stuff
Northeast Division
-The Oilers fired head coach Ralph Krueger. In one season, Krueger was 19-22-7 and missed the playoffs.
-EN Says: We're not sure it was fair to fire Krueger after one season. He didn't have much to work with on the blue line or in goal. That said, the Oilers need a fresh start and firing Krueger, who was promoted from the AHL, would sweep out any connection to past failures with the organization.
Pacific Division
-A day after trading for his rights, the Stars signed former Penguins defenseman Sergei Gonchar (right) to a two-year contract worth a total of $10 million. His salary cap hit will be $5 million. Gonchar, 39, appeared in 45 game last season for the Senators and scored 27 points (three goals, 24 assists).
-EN Says: That is a lot of money for a player about to turn 40 who has seen his play decline over the past few seasons. This is just an odd marriage. The Stars need to rebuild and Gonchar doesn't seem like a great fit for this organization.
Norris Division
-According to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun, Red Wings head coach Mike Babcock is expected to return as head coach of Team Canada should the NHL participate in next season's Winter Olympics. He will be joined by Blues coach Ken Hitchcock, Bruins coach Claude Julien and former Sabres coach Lindy Ruff as assistants.

Breast Matters - People In the News and Research In the News
Issue No. 2
People In the News and Research In the News
Date: 08/20/2012
People in the News
Sara Sukumar , Ph.D., co-director of the Breast
Cancer Program and the Barbara B. Rubenstein Professor of Oncology, received a $50,000 award designed to encourage rapid translation of her basic research on biomarkers into a commercially available test that could predict the best treatment for some women with breast cancer. Sukumar was one of two winners of the BioMaryland LIFE Prizes, funded by the Maryland Biotechnology Center, that recognizes research advances they believe are likely to become successful products.
William Houck, M.D., has joined the faculty as an adjunct professor in the Breast Cancer Program. He is providing a second opinion service for patients.
Research in the News
Doctors at Johns Hopkins have shown that during an increasingly popular type of breastreconstruction
surgery, they can safely preserve the internal mammary artery, in case it is needed for future cardiac surgery. "Some breast-reconstruction patients might need a cardiac bypass in the future, so we
implemented and studied a new technique that spares this artery used for that purpose," says Gedge Rosson, M.D., Associate Professor of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and lead researcher on the study.
The spread of breast cancer is responsible for more than 90 percent of breast cancer deaths. Now, the process by which it spreads – metastasizes – has been unraveled by researchers at Johns Hopkins, who discovered the switch that enables breast cancer cells to travel to and be received in the lungs.
"Metastasis was long thought a late event in cancer progression, but we have now shown metastasis to be an early event that is dependent on HIF-1," says Gregg Semenza, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Vascular Program in the Institute for Cell Engineering.
A team of johns hopkins scientists has closely tied production of a cancer-causing protein called TWIST to the development of estrogen resistance in women with breast cancer. Such resistance – in which cancers go from estrogen positive to estrogen negative status – can sabotage anticancer drugs that work to block estrogen and prevent disease recurrence after surgery. "Now that we know TWIST has a major role in controlling estrogen resistance in breast cancer, we can investigate the value of anti- TWIST therapies," says Venu Raman, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Radiology and senior study investigator.

Just so you know, the Erotic Museum in Hollywood just shut down, despite its inspired placement on Hollywood Blvd. in the middle of the Sleaze Zone.
Institutions like this seem to take a back set to the real thing. I mean, if it won't fly in LA where they love both sex and museums, what hope is there?
"The theme park will include life-sized silicone-made models which visitors can touch to discover erogenous zones."
Er, but they're different for every single human being ever made. Maybe they're just hitting the very basic highlights?
I mean, besides the obvious "Hey, your cock!"
Sorry to doublepost, it just struck me that someone might tell me genitals were always erogenous. Which they aren't, but jeez, too many worm cans, not enough hands.
London and all of England would benefit from anything to do with sex but a sex theme park? Better just go to Spain heaps more revolutionary then any (english) sex theme park.

February 2nd, 2010 #6
Hi Adam,
great stuff you have in here!
Looks like you allready studied a lot.
There are two things I would suggest to work on:
First of all, I miss the color. Color is a great tool for a lot of things like expressing a certain feeling or to sell a material to the viewer and a lot more.
(You may allready know that, but maybe you want to remember it)
The other thing is, that the values in your pictures seem to be sometimes a bit too midtone, so they look a bit flat.
Bur overall, fantastic start for a sketchbook.
I´m waiting for more!

Thanks for the feedback Arne.
I have studied for quite a few years (and i'm glad you think it shows!) I've got quite a bit of learning to do for sure.
I couldn't agree more about the flatness of the values in some of these. It's something i'm always vaguely aware of, but your words really motivate me to improve my technique!

The United Nations has devised a new plan for dealing with world hunger and malnutrition. They've advised the world to start eating insects. The Food and Agriculture Organization said insects like grasshoppers and ants would make great additions to people's diets.
In a 200-page report, the UN says 2 billion people around the world have already begun adding insects to their diets, citing benefits like protein and minerals. The report also talks about the environmental benefits of a diet high in bugs, saying insects are much more efficient when converting them into an edible meat. Furthermore, producing insects as food would use much less greenhouse gases and will produce less waste.
"Insects are everywhere and they reproduce quickly," the report reads. The Food and Agriculture Organization also compared the meat quality of insects to that of meat and fish, saying they are "particularly important as a food supplement for undernourished children."
Would you consider adding insects to your diet?
