Maria Connor starts a fire at the salon when she accidentally burns some toast. Gail & David are killed in the blaze, and the nation breathes a collective sigh of relief.
Fat Brenda appears on screen for the first time and successfully seduces Eddie. Anna is livid when she catches them together and divorces Eddie, who promptly marries Brenda.
John Stape (who can't hold a candle to Richard Hilman- or even Tony Gordon!) kills Chesney when Ches finds out that John killed Charlotte. John blames Owen, who gets a life sentence. Liz is distraught and leaves the Street as a CGI tram goes over the newly rebuilt viaduct.
Norris foolishly agrees to spend a weekend in Paris with Mary with disastorous consequences!

Maggie Muggins and Tvor, thanks for your lovely comments about my predictions! What did you all think of last night's episode?
- 1 January 2011 at 13:12
Did David call Tracy a bike, in a sideways comment? And that was after he slept with her and she tried an insult on for size! As for clobbered Tracy? Well, it's not Steve. Loved the quick cuts to various possible culprits at the end. I think it's either David or Claire.
Sophie and Sian will now suffer the wraith of a sullen Sally. But there's a little matter of pot, kettle and black with Sally (and Tyrone). Yikes.

Number of Victims from Badakhshan avalanches reaches 43 deaths
Thu Mar 08, 2:20 pm
Shirin-Nazm is one of the remote villages of Shiki district whose 173 residents, including women and children, have been trapped in heavy snow in Badakhshan province.
According to Badakhshan Governor, Shah Waliullah Adeeb, so far 43 dead bodies have been taken out but still 130 people are trapped. Rescue operations are continuing in order to rescue the rest of the trapped people, he added.
"An emergency meeting has been called in this regard but due to the blockage of roads, the rescue and medical teams were forced to route through Tajikistan to the area where people are trapped," Governor Adeeb said.
Shiki and Nasi are two of the most remote areas of Badakhshan province. Because of heavy snow and avalanches from the mountains, the roads of these two districts are now fully blocked.
The relief assistance that has been provided to these areas has been by helicopter or by using Tajikistan's routes. The people living in these areas have access have meager access to life facilities. The roads of these two remote areas are always blocked in cold seasons.

The .exe extension on a filename indicates an executable file. Executable files may, in some cases, harm your computer. Therefore, please read below to decide for yourself whether the avgemca.exe on your computer is a Trojan that you should remove, or whether it is a file belonging to the Windows operating system or to a trusted application.
The process known as AVG E-mail Scanner belongs to software AVG Internet Security by AVG Technologies CZ, s.r.o (www.freeavg.com).
Description: Avgemca.exe is not essential for the Windows OS and causes relatively few problems. The avgemca.exe file is located in a subfolder of "C:\Program Files".
Known file sizes on Windows 8/7/XP are 1,607,040 bytes (42% of all occurrences), 952,440 bytes or 1,792,864 bytes.
The program has no visible window. It is a Verisign signed file. The file has a digital signature. The file is not a Windows system file. You can uninstall this program in the Control Panel. Therefore the technical security rating is 10% dangerous.
In case you experience problems using avgemca.exe, you can uninstall AVG 2012 or AVG 2013 from your computer using the Control Panel applet "Add/Remove programs" or look for help on the www.avg.com website.
Recommended: Identify avgemca.exe related errors
Important: Some malware camouflages itself as avgemca.exe, particularly when located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder. Therefore, you should check the avgemca.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with avgemca. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using cleanmgr and sfc /scannow, uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using msconfig) and enabling Windows' Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off doing a repair of your installation, or in the case of Windows 8, executing the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the avgemca.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: Security Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries.

The present application is a division of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/486,541 filed Aug. 11, 2004 and issued as U.S. Pat. No. 7,258,805. U.S. application Ser. No. 10/486,541 was a National Stage of PCT/SE02/01456, filed Aug. 14, 2002 and claiming priority to Swedish application No. 0102736-6 filed Aug. 14, 2001.
The present invention relates to hollow out-of-wafer-plane silicon micro needles having side openings in the shaft. These needles are well suited for transdermal microfluidic applications, e.g. drug- or vaccine delivery
The outer most skin layer, i.e. the Stratum Corneum (SC), is perhaps the most versatile biological barrier in the human body. It is an excellent electrical insulator and it prevents the uptake of infectious agents while restricting water loss. The delivery of small amounts of liquids through the SC of humans into the underlying tissue or the sampling of fluids from the underlying tissue is becoming increasingly important in biomedical applications. Microsystem Technology provides means for the fabrication of microscaled liquid transfer needles, i.e. micro needles (micro needle). In the last few years, activity in the micro needle field has been steadily growing. Due to their small dimensions, they can be inserted into the skin painlessly and cause less tissue damage than conventional hypodermic needles. Micro needles have the potential to become the preferred drug delivery device in applications where the transdermal aspect is essential. For example, biotechnology has produced a generation of novel compounds with great therapeutic promise that generally consist of active macromolecules, e.g. proteins. Their oral administration is complicated and the passive diffusion of those compounds across the skin is not a realistic option.
Different hollow out-of-plane micro needle for transdermal applications have been presented before. They are arranged in two dimensional arrays to decrease flow resistance through the device. The array can be achieved with wafer level processing. The openings are at the top of the needle, which increases the risk for clogging. Examples of such needles are disclosed in e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 6,132,755 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,334,856.
In-plane micro needles have been developed earlier and are characterized by the opening at the shaft of the needle and are less prone to clogging. Such needles are disclosed in e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 5,928,207 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,375,148. These needles are generally longer than out-of-plane needles. The fabrication of two-dimensional arrays is more difficult to achieve since it cannot be done on wafer level.
Our own group, in collaboration with Datex-Ohmeda (a division of Instrumentarium Corp.), have reported on solid silicon micro needle arrays successfully used for biopotential measurements. See Griss et al in Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems, Volume: 10 Issue: 1, March 2001.
The mechanical strength of those micro needle arrays was observed to be surprisingly high, in particular during measurements of the activity of the brain where the arrays were applied on the forehead of test subjects. The mechanical strength of barbed micro needle was also observed when measuring the attachment force of their arrays pressed into different types of materials. Very low failure rate is a requirement for a micromachined micro needle device to be used in commercial applications. In the case of hollow micro needle designed for transdermal liquid transfer, they must be robust enough to penetrate biological tissue and withstand harsh treatment. Coating in-plane single crystalline silicon micro needle with Parylene provides a way to prevent catastrophic failure. This allowed the retraction of micro needle from pierced gelatin membranes, even if the silicon core is fractured. Two dimensional needle arrays are less prone to fracturing when exposed to shear forces during penetration than single needles of the same material and dimensions since the shear stress created by the tissue is distributed over a large amount of micro needle.
In view of the drawbacks with prior art needles, the object of the present invention was to develop a micromachined structure, and a method for the fabrication thereof, that has the potential to be used in transdermal fluidic applications. The needles should exhibit low flow resistance, high structural strength, large area of drug exposure to the tissue and low risk of clogging. These considerations led to a novel type of out-of-plane micro needle array where the micro needles have openings in the side of the needle rather than at the top. Therefore, when pressed into the tissue, the sharp micro needle tip sections the tissue rather than stamping out a piece of it. The size of the side openings can be controlled through process parameters. The area of drug exposure is increased for a side-opened needle when compared to a tip-opened one, given the same diameter of the liquid channel in the needle.
Thus, the invention provides novel hollow out-of-wafer-plane micro needles having side openings in the shaft rather than having an orifice at the tip. This kind of needle structure is well suited for transdermal microfluidic applications, e.g. drug- or vaccine delivery. The deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) process according to the invention allows fabrication of two dimensional, mechanically highly resistant needle arrays offering low resistance to liquid flows and a large exposure area between the fluid and the tissue. The process according to the invention does not require much wafer handling and only two photolithography steps are required. Using a 3×3 mm2 chip in a typical application, e.g. vaccine delivery, a 100 μl volume of aqueous fluid injected in 2 s would cause a pressure drop of less than 2 kPa. The presented needles are approximately 210 μm long.
Further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.
The present invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description given hereinbelow and the accompanying drawings which are given by way of illustration only, and thus not limitative of the present invention, and wherein
In the following we present and discuss the wafer level fabrication process for two different types of side-opened micro needle arrays as well as assembly into a package allowing fluidic flow measurements and application on human skin. Subsequently the mechanical stability is studied and the flow-pressure characteristics is measured and discussed.
Needle Design and Fabrication
The fabrication of side-opened micro needle is based on the triple DRIE (Deep Reactive Ion Etching) process (see the article by Griss et al mentioned above) shown earlier by our group where it was observed that in this process vertical walls of DRIE etched high aspect ratio silicon structures stay vertical during an isotropic plasma etch, as shown in
The detailed process flow yielding side-opened micro needle is depicted in
A generalized definition of the process according to the invention is a method of manufacturing micro-needles protruding from a support body, said needles comprising a body portion, a closed pointed tip portion, and an inner lumen extending through said support body and into said protruding needle, said body portion having side openings communicating with said inner lumen said method comprising the following steps: providing a wafer comprised of an etchable material and having a front side and a back side; making a blind hole in said wafer from its back side; providing a mask on the front side of the wafer such that the vertical projection of said mask at least partially covers the extension of said hole; performing a first isotropic etch under said mask to remove wafer material; anisotropically etching the wafer to form a protruding structure; performing a second isotropic etch on said protruding structure to expose the blind hole; and optionally performing a final anisotropic etch to provide to extend the needle without forming side openings; wherein the position and extension of the mask relative the position and dimension of the hole is such that said side openings form during said second isotropic etch.
Preferably said mask and said hole have the same general geometric shape, but wherein said mask is larger than the cross section of the hole, and wherein the center points of the hole and mask, respectively, are displaced relative to each other.
In one embodiment said mask is larger than the cross section of the hole, and wherein the shapes of the mask and hole, respectively, are different from each other.
In another embodiment mask is larger than the hole, and the center points of the hole and mask, respectively, coincide. Alternatively, said mask overlaps the hole in at least one region. Preferably said blind hole is made by etching.
The measurement of the flow resistance requires assembly of the chip containing a side opened micro needle array onto a carrier which allows a connection to fluid tubing, as shown in
Now the embodiment of
As already described the micro needle comprises a protruding structure extending vertically from a support surface, said protruding structure having been created by etching procedures. The embodiment in
The side openings are formed by virtue of the fact that the interior cavity (central hole or lumen) of the needle will be reached by the isotropic etch front at certain points before it reaches other points. Namely, in the corners formed by the wings the etch front will encounter the interior cavity long before this would happen at the wings themselves. Thus, the openings will begin to form exactly in the "nook" where the wings meet. As will be evident for the skilled man, the dimensions and location of the openings can be controlled entirely by etch parameters, such as rate, time etc. The thicker bottom portion of the embodiment of
The mask work needed for the embodiments of
However, several other designs of out-of-plane side-opened micro needle can be imagined. Using a circular needle mask and a cross shaped hole mask, a circular needle with four side holes result as depicted in
In a general manner of definition a micro-needle according to the invention protrudes from a support member. The needle comprises a needle body portion a longitudinal central axis (see the vertical dashed line in
In an at present preferred embodiment of the invention a micro-needle has a general shape of cross exhibiting a plurality of wings, and wherein said side openings are located in the corners of the cross where said wings connect to each other.
In a variation the inner lumen is eccentric relative to said needle body portion. The body portion and said inner lumen both can have the same general geometric shape, but in such a case the cross section of the lumen is smaller than the cross section of the body portion. Said geometric shape can be any of a circle, a rectangle, a triangle, or a polygon, or any other suitable shape that fulfills the purpose of the invention.
In an application of the invention there is provided a device for transdermal transport of liquids across the skin of a patient, comprising an array of micro-needles according to the invention provided on a support member. A liquid storage container is connectable to said micro-needle array, and a pump is provided for feeding said liquid from said storage container to said micro-needle array, for e.g. administration of vaccine. The device is also suitable for sampling liquid through the skin. In such cases the pump is adapted to provide a suction of liquid samples, such as blood through the skin of a patient.
A further way of defining the micro needles of the invention is that the envelope surface (exterior surface) of the needle structure will intersect the envelope surface of the inner lumen within the needle structure in at least one defined region.
For the purpose of this application, the expression "envelope surface" will be taken to mean a surface that encloses a structure, disregarding any irregularities such as openings therein. Thus the envelope surface of the final needle structure of the embodiment of
Gravimetric flow measurements resulted in the pressure-flow characteristics as shown in
In a typical transdermal application, e.g. vaccine delivery, a 100 μl volume of aqueous fluid injected through a chip containing 21 side-opened micro needle in 2 s would cause a pressure drop of less than 2 kPa. The flow resistance can further be decreased by increasing the number of micro needle (i.e. the number of micro needle per area unit). Since an anisotropic etch mainly defines the length of the micro needle, very high density can be achieved since the mask is only slightly larger than the resulting micro needle. Therefore, the maximum needle density, that is allowed by the inherent capability of the skin of being permeated, can be achieved without being restricted by technology.
If aqueous liquid is presented to the back side of the chip without applying a pressure difference between the front side and the back side, the liquid is sucked into the channels in the chip base by capillary forces. The liquid meniscus is stopped at the side openings without wetting the front side. A pressure of approximately 1 kPa was measured to break through this barrier.
Thus, the present invention provides a new technology for the fabrication of arrays of hollow out-of-plane micro needles that have openings in the shaft rather than at the tip apex. For a given and specific mask design, the size and position of the side openings are defined by process parameters, and thus not by the specific mask design itself.
Such needles allow new opportunities for transdermal liquid transfer. The measured flow resistance of a packaged side-opened needle array is low (and can further be decreased if needed by increasing the needle density). The mechanical strength of the needle arrays is high. Subsequent penetration and removal to and from the skin does not result in the destruction of the needles. The mechanical strength is also demonstrated by the ability to pierce aluminium. Potentially, the shown structures are less prone to clogging than tip-opened counterparts and the large size of the side openings allows a large area of liquid exposure to the skin.
The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.

YONKERS, NY (PRWEB) July 15, 2014
Beauty products and cosmetics have become overgrown with labels covered with flowers and greenery and words like natural and healthy. The September 2014 issue of ShopSmart, from Consumer Reports, features an in-depth look at hidden health risks that can be found in cosmetics and other beauty products, ingredients to avoid, and more.
"The problem is that some of these manufacturers are appealing to shoppers looking for healthier beauty products by changing what's on the container—not what's in it," said Lisa Lee Freeman, editor-in-chief of ShopSmart. "Yes, there might be aloe or shea butter added, but there might also be lots of stuff you don't want to rub on your body every day."
As a result of consumer demand, some manufacturers have been phasing out certain problematic chemicals, but there are still dangers consumers should be aware of. The following information from ShopSmart identifies ingredients to avoid and meaningful labels and apps that help users make better choices when shopping for beauty products.
Ingredient Watch List
When buying cosmetics, ShopSmart recommends checking ingredients lists for chemicals including the following ― some of them are outright banned or restricted in other countries:
Meaningful Labels
The terms "natural," "dermatologist tested," and "hypoallergenic" aren't meaningful because they aren't independently verified. Below are some examples of terms and seals that are legit according to ShopSmart's safety experts:
Beauty Product Shopping Apps
When shopping for beauty products, ShopSmart recommends using these free apps to evaluate ingredients and help narrow down choices:
The full report, which includes more ingredients to avoid, specific product recommendations, and other meaningful labels and seals, is featured in the September 2014 issue of ShopSmart on newsstands now.
About Consumer Reports:
Consumer Reports is the world's largest independent product-testing organization. Using its more than 50 labs, auto test center, and survey research center, the nonprofit rates thousands of products and services annually. Founded in 1936, Consumer Reports has over 8 million subscribers to its magazine, website, and other publications. Its advocacy division, Consumers Union, works for health reform, food and product safety, financial reform, and other consumer issues in Washington, D.C., the states, and in the marketplace.
About ShopSmart magazine:

Members of the expatriate Ukrainian community delivered a letter to the consulate in Melville Street.
It is the second demonstration held there in recent weeks in protest over the Russian involvement in the violent unrest that has caught the country in a stranglehold. Edinburgh councillor Stefan Tymkewycz, whose is of Ukrainian descent, was among the protesters and he said the actions of the Russians could only be curbed with strict sanctions.
Speaking from the consulate, he said: "We are here to send a message to President Putin to remove his troops from the sovereign state of Ukraine."

In game you will NEVER notice that(the camera is to far in the air.
unless youre playing on a screen larger than 15" and resolution 1042x768...
why so many mods re-make overlords and their barrels?
you are right about that
Nice tank, I like it. "can be upgraded with A Heavy Machine Gun" so a gunner will pop up?
Of Course! :)
good job i like t-55
how about making the chassis lil' bit longer and wider?

To the editor:
I am a Holden Beach property owner and do not look forward to the summer traffic, especially on Saturdays (as that is change day for house rentals) and Independence Day week. I say wake up Holden Beach and consider putting in two traffic circles: one at Exxon, Walgreens, Wings and The Barn and the second one at the end of the bridge. These are two of the places that traffic backs up, especially when going across the bridge. Traffic circles allow for traffic to continue to flow and not back up for miles. Ocean Isle Beach and Sunset Beach have them.
Sunset Beach Town Council has sunk to an all-time low. My family has been coming to Sunset since 1980. We enjoy the quietness and simplicity, but it seems town council intends to eradicate any and all vacationers and visitors. We own a home and property within town limits.
On May 24, we drove to the beach and parked on Main Street at 9:55 a.m. We were very careful to parallel park and double-checked to make sure our tires were off the pavement. There were no cars in front or behind us and no cars beside us. We stayed on the beach until 1:50 p.m.

There's rarely a meeting at which I'm speaking where someone doesn't ask me about investing. Often it's about the stock market, but sometimes there's a question about gold, foreign currencies or even options.
Economics is a discipline that changes as new theories and research alter the way we look at economic issues. But not so with investing — at least that's my opinion. Many argue the principles most people should use to guide their investments are timeless.
By Rep. Frank Iler
The word on everyone's mind in the North Carolina House last week was budget. Budget meetings occupied every waking moment. May 19 saw an all day House Appropriations meeting and May 21's House session lasted all night and into Friday morning, May 22.
The second of two major earthquakes in three weeks brought more death and destruction on Nepal. More than 8,000 people have died from the 7.8 and 7.3 magnitude earthquakes.
Pray for the people of Nepal as they face the worst natural disaster to hit their nation in the last century. Pray for the recovery efforts, especially lifting up the rescue and relief workers who are in the region to bring aid.
I have been a Brunswick County resident and charter boat captain for more than 43 years. I ran my offshore/inshore fishing boat, the Sea Hawk III, until 2010. I would still be in that business if the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries had not started making such poor regulations. Now it is targeting flounder.
This month I had four flounder trips when we caught 42 flounder, 29 of them keepers. Marine Fisheries is saying there are no flounder left, just like it said about sharks.
I read with dismay that our county government is considering whether to raise the property tax rate by almost 10 percent. If I had a raise of 10 percent, I would think I had struck gold! If the county can't cut costs to avoid this rate increase then I think we are being duped. In tight financial times the rest of us have to adjust our spending accordingly, but the county seems to think it's fine to just demand more of our money under the authority we gave it in the last election.

4 out of 4 people found this review helpful:Sweet, cute drama worth the timeIt was a pretty cute drama, light and fluffy like cream pie, not too good for ya but tasty going down. Don't look for any big message, any big revenge or redemption. It does have some really funny stuff early on (the panties scene is a riot) and then gets a bit more serious but not ever overly so. I really did enjoy the 16 hours out of my life to watch this, recommended!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful:A fun, cute and entertaining rideThis is a drama you can watch again and again. It doesn't rely on insane plot twists and unrealistically evil characters to keep you watching which is a pleasant change from the usual k-drama. It keeps you smiling almost all of the time and is just a fun, cute and entertaining ride. Really nice pacing and a happy ending for all. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Funny & Charming - RecommendedI laughed out loud at least once per episode, and the story was really charming. All the characters and plot points are believable (although sometimes overly dramatic). I think this series did the length just right - no absurd plot twists to drag out another couple episodes.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:Millions of Dollars in Commercials GorgeousCha Seung Won is an amazing actor. What a performance! I want a spin-off just about Doko and "Ding-Dong" (the little boy). They were so cute and funny together. The last few episodes are a little nerve-racking, but getting to know Doko Jin was worth it! A wonderful character.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:GREAT...WATCHED TWICE IN 2 WEEKS!!! I really needed something that would put a smile on my face...I loved this drama!!! Doko Jin is exaggeratedly dorky, cocky, a bit of a doofus, in his "innocence" of the world. Aejong is a kind realist...not afraid to express her thoughts & opinions. Their worlds collide to bring a funny, sweet romance to 2 seemingly opposite personalities. The storyline will bring a smile to your life, for many different reasons. Enjoy...Read more
Watch Hyo ...
Good drama with fun charactersThe best thing about the drama is how each character has their own distinct personality. It's a humorous show with lots of purposely cheesy lines, and heartwarming scenes. You'll enjoy Gu Aejong's gentle, but strong personality matched with Doko Jin's eccentricity.

......He's never done it before ! What makes you think he'll ever start.
One thing that bugs me, and maybe I am wrong, but when their shift is over I don't see Kesler talking to Kassian. Hank is always talking to his wingers about the last shift and Kesler should be the leader of his line. Maybe he doesn't want to rock the boat just getting back, but I would like to see him work with our budding young powerforward.
.................Kesler can just NOT play with his linemates.He can only create a disjointed line......(Proof) Check the last 3 seasons and the many many wingers he's had and unable to gel with.
Man all those wingers MUST have issues.Obviously not Kesler........oh wait ! I took off my glasses and it really does help to see the problem.

SWTOR is a horrible example of a game that "doesn't deserve to fail"
SWTOR is failing because it is literally lacking the most basic mmo functionality.
No combat log
no chat bubbles
tons of load screens
No lfg in a game that is heavily instanced.............that is super fail.
No pvp score board, heck you can't even choose which pvp maps you want to play.
Don't blame the players for not wanting to resub to a bad game. I wanted to like it and leveled a shadow to 50 but the fact is the game is in beta still and im not paying for that.

SWTOR is terrible {mod edit}
It's well deserved - too.
With such a budget it's a shame to see what the game brings to the table. It's WoW in space with 2005 graphics with some added flirty flirty and voiceovers.
Makes me sad because I love Star Wars and Bioware managed to ruin a shot at having a good SW mmo for a while

I think your analysis of WoW is a little over simplified. By your own admission, vanilla WoW's leveling was no where near as fast as it is today. Where Bioware screwed up, is they assumed the same thing you did - that the current rate of leveling in WoW is a by-product of miss-information from the "locusts".
The truth is that WoW's leveling rate evolved with the content. Blizzard, love em or hate em, are NOT dummies. 7 years in, they realise that their veteran player base does not want to spend a year leveling their alts. WoW has the end-game content to support it's max-level player base. SWTOR does not. So, it was stupid for Bioware to release a game that has the current 7 years in WoW leveling speed, because WoW is in a whole other universe content wise.
That Bioware would release a game that shepherds you through the content that quickly and offers nothing at the finish line is completely bafflig to me. I played EQ1 for 4 years, and yes that was a mighty grind. I also remember working really hard on WoW and how excited I was the first time we beat Rag and Onyxia - probably 8 or 9 months in. Blizzard wasn't stupid - they paced the content based on their own development schedule. They still do, that's why they own the market right now.
Bioware is ensuring that everyone who hit's 50 right now will only remember the boredom it instilled at max level.

Yeah, this got a 9/10 on mmorpg somehow. =\
Love the way the the article blames those paying fans for consuming the game to fast. How dare they expect more... gasp!

If someone wants to sell me an MMO that takes 10x longer to reach level cap. I ask that it have 10x the number of unique quests and zones. Otherwise you can get that experience with asian grinders.

I played for the first month. I liked it... but to many bugs wernt being fixed, and i feel like im playing a single player rpg on my xbox rather than playing an actuall mmo. The games good, but not worth $15 a month. The only super hero/comic/movie mmo ill ever play is city of heroes. Now that is a real game, they have one of the best grouping system.

"Faster leveling trivializes the content devs work so hard to bring us and leads to a bunch of disappointed max level folk who don't have enough to do and who feel as though they got bait-and-switched"
No truer words...
As to how it happened, well first the holy trinity was ground underfoot in the forums (Fighter, healing, Crowd Control) and a lot of posters wanted a change. Then hybreds were invented, they did nothing great, but enough good to break up the trinity.
Then, pick up groups got ground underfoot, crucified, hit by a bus and ravaged by a pack of wolves in forums everywhere, so no one wanted to PUG, then everyone wanted soloable content and the ability to solo the game.
Soloing the game led to speeding up the game, because no one wanted to play the game alone and wanted that end game experience.
Faster leveling killed crafting and guilds, further reducung the community feel and the want to work together alltogether.
Mounts or the ability to teleport anywhere... In early MMO's, you had to travel in groups to survive or if you were lucky enough you knew a druid (gasp) who could get you anywhere from 1/2 to 2/3rds to your destination.
The last killer of games (the big one) was the internet itself, that ability to google, looking up maps, quest completion, hot items and short cuts, the DAY, the freakin DAY the game is released. That or slap down $19 and buy the book (cheaper if you buy it on release day with the game), all your in game problems solved.
To me, the day the music died was when I watched a Bard(hybred) solo an area that my group was trying to get items from for a quest. The Bard could heal, CC, tank, insta travel and had the added bonus of the ability to keep your beer cold. It was then that I knew that gaming would not ever be the same as there was no longer the need for a group.
Wanted: An MMO with crafting, exploration, individual abilities, housing, guilds, no cookie cutter avatars, guild towns and at least one knock down drag out guild disagreement over a window sconce in the guild buildings foyer.

I don't think it's wrong to ask for more content if you pay a sub. The box value earns you the content that ships with the game. If I've achieved everything there is in a mmo, the only reason I have left to play is for social purposes. There are plenty of F2P games that can accomplish this, even if they lack polish.
I find it amusing how so many mmos will offer me some free time to come back to the game and that time is often sufficient enough for me to complete the majority of the content that was developed in the past 3-4 months I've been gone.
The leveling speed isn't the problem here. Sure, if EA/Bioware had prolonged the leveling experience a month or two they probably could have squeezed some more dollars out of the initial player base, but that wouldn't solve the issues that currently exist. It would have only bought them more time to fix things.
I feel player driven content/activies will really be the success of future mmos.

I may be contradicting myself entirely by agreeing with you on a lot of your points...but you're totally right. They do hold your hand. They do show you exactly where to go, exactly what to be, exactly what you're "supposed" to do. And it's bullshit, and somehow...we're ok with that.
I'm not saying it's needs to be a themepark, by any means. But there does need to be a sense of freedom every player gets to enjoy, which I haven't found in the past 5 years aside from EVE(which is its own beast entirely). To me exploration and figuring out obstacles on my own, or with the help of others, is extremely important, and can seriously build a community. It is THE most important thing to me in an RPG, and only means that much more in an mmo.
I won't sit here and lie about how I used to play mmos back in the day, because I didn't. My first online game, and yes I mean online game period, was Guild Wars. It was mostly because of our financial situation blah blah blah, either way, that game was my foray into the online world. That said, I don't ignore what past gamers, like yourself, have said about the golden age of mmos. I find it extremely important in the design of future games, not just mmos, and it shouldn't be ignored like it has been. While I wasn't a huge fan of what I've read and watched about the older questing system, I hate the current one even more. I love the content, but I cannot stand the way it is delivered.
Which is why I'm hoping GW2 will change it. After watching videos, though, I honestly think it's going to be just another hand holder in the way it delivers content. I love ArenaNet, their philosophies, everything about them. I just don't think they're going to give a ton of room for that exploration aspect I yearn for.
I don't know if I really have a point in all this babbling, or if I'm making sense. I just don't want you to think of me as a current ignorant mmoer(we both know what I'm talking about), and that I really do respect what this entire genre was built on. I love gaming, and I like this genre, but something needs to seriously be done to save it. Unfortunately the majority is filled with ignorant impatient kiddies who jump from one mmo to another like a plague of locusts.

If you can dream it... you can achieve it.
Could not agree more, I would add though that the direction games have taken was to attract the largest base possible, all the while attracting console and first person shooter types of gamers, who traditionally do not like MMOs. So, therefore we have a large contingent of non-MMO gamers driving development of MMOs.
The opposite of this is the sandbox virtual world, and I think more people are oppening up to its possibility. Especially so with the popularity of titles such as Skyrim, and other open-world sandboxy SPRPGs. Light speed progression, and empty endgame mechanics are getting stale.

With 288 posts in this thread I will probably be repeating a lot of stuff allready said but here goes anyways. The reason you can "outlevel" content IE quests by a large margin in games like SWToR is because the devs have to make sure even the most inept people can reach max level by just running quests and doing nothing else. When the main leveling mechanism in a game is turning in a quest - there has to be enough quests to reach max level or the game becomes excruciating. Champions Online was the best example of what happens when you dont have enough quests to reach max level that I can think of.
The difference between games like EQ back in 2000 and current games - most especially post WoW games is that the main leveling mechanism in EQ was killing things. If you got xps for quests it was usually trivial with the exception of a few hand in quests such as several of the bone chip quests. For those they werent trivial because you could buy the hand in item off of vendors at a level where xps were still good.
The only thing EQ then needed were zones that were interesting enough to hold your attention for X number of days.When you got high enough level you simply moved to the next zone - you didnt have to worry about unfinished quests. The thing you might have worried about was whether or not you got a special drop. In fact the game began to pace itself off of moving from one special drop area to the next and the levels and xps came as a sidenote to to that.
I personally prefer that model over the quest leveling model so long as the content itself is still interesting enough to hold my attention in its own right. For those who argue the EQ model was just grinding mobs etc and very boring - I say the quests have done nothing to change the grind - it is simply packaged differently - doing a thousand kill quests is just as boring as simply killing a thousand individual mobs.
If the game is fun in and of itself, however, the leveling mechanic doesnt really matter. The length of time to reach max level and "end" game content are simply measures of how many hours the game can potentially hold a player that enjoys the overall experience before they get bored and move on. Today's games usually hold between 100 and 150 hours of gameplay for me before I get bored and move on. EQ held me for over a year of played time - I did get bored from time to time, however there was enough to keep me engaged and keep playing.
I will refute one statement in the original article stating WoW's leveling curve wasnt that fast etc. I distinctly remember reports of max level characters within the first week maybe two weeks of WoW's release. Yes they were powergamers who played beta and knew the game - yet that isnt so much different than current games and WoW was the first AAA title I am aware of with a leveling curve that shallow. That leveling curve was the #1 reason I never purchased WoW and never played WoW. WoW is what set the mold for easy mode advancement to max level in MMO's.

The rate of leveling needs to fit the amount of content. If you're having to skip 3/4 of the content in order to avoid stuff that you're overleveled for, then the leveling is too fast (or else the content is too slow; sometimes the solution is to replace kill 50 rats by kill 10 rats). If you're doing all of the content and then having to spend 2/3 of your time grinding in order to get to the next batch of content, then the leveling is too slow.
One problem with six months to max level is, what about people who like to play alts? Now, that's fine if your game is set up so that one character does everything. But most MMORPGs (including essentially all class-based MMORPGs) aren't that way.

I tend to get discontent when I run out of content.
It may sound silly but one subtle change from everquest to recent games is that you could hand the guards torches and they would use them.
You could essentially change the theme of a city through gifts.
Another one is merchants not being able to resell goods. I remember buying hidden items off merchants in everquest in popular areas that were behind trash items... Stacks of spider silk etc. And sometimes expensive crafting items or some really decent weapon or armor that for some reason someone sold.
I remember buying back lots of useful things in asherons call that people sold to merchants. This was especially true in the old old days when you had to ID items and people just sold stuff they couldnt ID to shop and then it could be OMG wow -- Sword 6 Sols...

I am truly sorry you feel that way.
WoW (older MMO) has to balance three goals:
1. Provide character development.
2. Provide content for veteran players.
3. Allow new players to play with veteran players (hence: fast-leveling).
New MMOs have to balance one goal since there are no veteran players:
1. Provide character development.
Why new MMOs start with the false premise that games must be born with extensive end-game content and a fast way to get there is beyond me unless they just follow WoW's current model hoping for WoW's success.
WoW devs don't like excellerated leveling - it's a lesser of two evils for an aging game. The reason this "works" as a fix for WoW is that a buddy can start brand-new to the game and within days/weeks, instead of months, join a group with my characters. Again, not an issue with new games where everyone starts at the beginning.
This strawman of "Content Locusts" and how WoW is developed to cater to them is simple bologna. The incentive to reach a certain point of progression in a game fast is so your character can fight side-by-side with friends that have progressed faster for whatever reason. The only content that gets the streamline-express treatment is years old content. The current WoW model is less than ideal but strikes a very fine balance for brand new players as well as release-day players. I remember the days from EQ & even WoW when the journey wasn't trivial. The problem is not that developers are catering to "Content Locusts" or hardcore players, but that developers are developing the new games with the self-fufilling prophecy that the journey has to be short so the journey can end. Game over.

If you watch a game, it's fun. If you play it, it's recreation. If you work at it, it's FF-XIV.
I watched every cutscene and did every side quest i could do without hitting the spacebar and for some reason the content still did not last over 23 days, so maybe the reason why the "Locust" killed the game so fast was because the "Farmers" only had enough "Crop" for the weekend>?. With 200 million dollars against Archages not even half the amount and 5x the content they should look at how a gaming company is supposed to do work.
However this was still my favorite Fable 3 version game with 2 more people allowed onto my co-op experience, but the endgame ruined all so called immersion when i relised the lack of responsability after i was exploited at illum over and over.
Who know thou this might have been the smoothest mmo launch supposedly for those that never played other mmo's besides wow. I have played games like Aion where I only encountered 1 crash the whole 4 months I played the reason why i stoped playing thou was that I thought the territory worked like WoE's on RO, however once I found out it was just over glorified capture the bases I felt like it was not the game for me.
I would like it however if you stopped blaming the people that care about the games when they turn out to be duds after you fire your staff that wanted to warn us about said issues. I hit hide my headgear i was wearing a robe the hood never came down\???? this sint a bug says the forums we were just to lazy to make jedi robes 2 pieces.

It is beautiful. I don't think of it as made-up at all; though I can see why people might think that at first. It's a thousand times better then Renesmee. I had always liked the name Esme, but it hadn't seemed substantial enough to use as a name; and to be honest I wasn't perfectly intrigued by the sound.

Doggie Don't!

Bad Dog!
Dog Repellant: No, Doggie!
I wanted to know if anyone has an answer to this problem. Many people walk their dogs in our lovely neighborhood. A few walk their dogs so that they will poop in someone else's yard instead of their own. Most carry a plastic bag to pick up the poop. However, there is usually some residue left which attracts flies. I certainly don't want my kids stepping in it either!
I've tried talking (nicely, mind you) with the dog owners about this but the offending ones have told me that it's public right of way. I wonder if there is anything I can use that's not poisonous but will deter dogs from depositing their business on my front lawn. I've tried black pepper but it didn't work.
Get a Spray
This reader needs to look for dog repellant spray at a home and garden center. I have used a formula for chipmunks and rabbits and I was very surprised at how well it works - without harming any animals, plants or the environment.
Good Fences...
I say get a fence. Back home growing up in NJ that happened a lot, even a small picket fence along just the front will keep them off. Might look very nice, too.
Finding the Right Dog Repellant
I have 2 dogs and they are still under 2 years of age. They were constantly digging holes and tearing up the plants in my flowerbeds. Well, I tried some Grant's Dog and Cat Repellant. It works great. I have recently found a new brand that you only have to use every 10 days or after watering/rain. Grant's must be applied every 24 hours. This new one is at Target stores and is called Green Light Dog & Cat Repellant. They both work quite well. They will not harm the animals as they are meant to be used to keep strays away and to help train your own animals.
They Hate Moth Balls
Animals don't like the odor of moth balls so place a few of them especially where other dogs have done their business to keep them from marking their territory, too. It's best if you can put the mothballs into a container that has holes so that the dogs can smell them, but where the container is too big for them to swallow. The goal is to chase them away, not to harm them.
PetSupplies.com is truly a one stop shop for pet owners and animal lovers (affiliate link)
Ammonia Worked Great
We had great luck with ammonia. Just pour it into a spray bottle and spray it along the edge of your property. You don't have to spray in very far because as soon as the dogs get a whiff, they move on until their noses are clear of the smell. Of course, it works best when the ammonia is fresh, so if you know they are morning walkers, you may want to get out there first thing. Depending on how smart the dog is, eventually it may just walk right past your frontage. You will have to reapply, especially after rain. This will bother any creature, so use it judiciously. We also use it to keep critters out of the trash.
