Students and teachers now have a new way to explore through mangrove forests, search for sea animals and learn about different fishing techniques without leaving the classroom.
Teaching kids about habitat is an investment in the future of marine life.
Senior Fisheries Officer Rebecca Sheppard said Fisheries Queensland had developed a new and exciting activity booklet that focused on the importance of protecting marine fish habitats.
'This activity booklet is a great educational resource for teachers and parents to educate students about looking after our marine fish habitats to ensure fishing for the future,' Ms Sheppard said.
'The free to download booklet has fun activities and educational information about Queensland's marine habitats and the fish that depend on these.
'The activities are designed to develop knowledge and encourage students to take greater interest in caring for Queensland's coasts.
'Our coasts' marine fish habitats provide shelter, food and nursery grounds for fish and other marine fauna such as crabs and prawns.
'All marine fish habitats, including marine plants, are community assets that depend on ongoing protection and management to ensure their sustainability.'
The booklet was developed for primary school students in the middle to upper grades.
Ms Sheppard said the aim was to teach people about the importance of fish habitats when they're young to help them adopt best practice as part of their everyday lives.
'Without healthy marine fish habitats, no one would be able to enjoy Queensland's great fishing spots and delicious seafood,' Ms Sheppard said.
'Everyone plays an important part in the sustainability of Queensland fisheries, especially our children, who will be able to look after these habitats into the future.'
For more information and to download your copy of the marine fish habitat activity booklet, visit www.fisheries.qld.gov.au or call 13 25 23.

It's been a while since last we spoke about Richard Raaphorst's Army of Frankenstein. Ever since he announced the project which has risen from the ashes of Worst Case Scenario, we've been salivating. Well, get ready to drool a bit more.
With the big EFM show gearing up, Twitch Film landed the exclusive on the film's trailer, which you can dig on below.
Using shocking vintage newsreel footage as his basis, Raaphorst has cut together a promo for his new project. A project based on the brilliantly simple premise that as World War II was running down, a desperate and increasingly occult-obsessed Adolf Hitler stumbled across the collected writings of one Victor Frankenstein. And with his troops dwindling, Hitler put those pages to work.

As of Wednesday, July 11, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
Kyle Maynard -- the Collins Hill graduate and congenital quadruple amputee -- has won another ESPY, an award given out annually by ESPN for sports excellence.
Maynard, who took home the same honor in 2004, won in the "best male athlete with a disability" category on Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
The award came after his crawling up Africa's Mt. Kilimanjaro in January with a team of wounded veterans, friends and professional climbers.
Maynard tweeted shortly after winning on his @kylemaynard Twitter account:
"WE JUST WON THE ESPY!!!!!! Thank you so much!!! You helped make it happen!!!"
His summit at Kilimanjaro's 19,341-foot peak was the first by anyone crawling up the mountain, and likely the first period by a quadruple amputee.
The four other nominees were: Baxter Humby (an arm amputee, mixed martial arts fighter and black belt), Raymond Martin (a four-time medal winner at the 2011 Parapan American Games), Oz Sanchez (a medal-winning paralympic cyclist) and Tyler Walker (the 2012 U.S. Paralympics alpine skiing national champion).

The confrontations between police and demonstrators at the Stonewall Inn in New York City the weekend of June 27-29, 1969 mark the beginning of the modern glbtq movement for equal rights.
Formed soon after the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the short-lived but influential Gay Liberation Front brought a new militancy to the movement that became known as gay liberation.
The sexual revolution of post-World War II America changed sexual and gender roles profoundly.
"Leather" is a blanket term for a large array of sexual preferences, identities, relationship structures, and social organizations loosely tied together by the thread of what is conventionally understood as sadomasochistic sex.
Although best known for her crusade for women's suffrage, Susan B. Anthony spoke out on a range of feminist issues.
With reports from hundreds of sub-Saharan African locales of male-male sexual relations and from about fifty of female-female sexual relations, it is clear that same-sex sexual relations existed in traditional African societies, though varying in forms and in the degree of public acceptance
Androgyny, a psychological blending of gender traits, has long been embraced by strong women, soft men, members of queer communities, and others who do not easily fit into traditionally defined gender categories.
A cultural crossroads between Asia and Europe, Russia has a long, rich, and often violent heritage of varied influences and stark confrontations in regard to its patterns of same-sex love.
Judith Light accepting her award from Empire State Pride Agenda.
At the Empire State Pride Agenda's Fall Dinner on October 11, 2012, acclaimed actress Judith Light accepted the organization's Douglas W. Jones Award for Activism. On October 15, 2012, Nathan Schaefer assumed leadership of New York state's leading glbtq rights organization.
As Paul Schindler reported on September 15 in Gay City News, the youthful Schaefer comes to the Pride Agenda from his position as director of public policy at Gay Men's Health Crisis. He is also an adjunct lecturer in the School of Social Work at Columbia University.
In a video message released by the Pride Agenda, Schaefer declared that the group's top priority is to pass a transgender civil rights law in New York State.
"We must pass the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act," he declared. "That's our next victory."
In the video message, Schaefer said he led GMHC's advocacy for the HIV Testing Law signed by then-Governor David Paterson in 2010. The measure ended years of controversy over how to expand testing and make it part of routine health care without curtailing longstanding requirements for informed consent to such a test and for the right of patients to opt-out.
Schaefer also pointed to his advocacy at GMHC for the end of the ban on immigration by those with the HIV virus, which occurred in January 2010, and his work in the ongoing fight to lift the prohibition on gay men donating blood.
His efforts in Washington and at GMHC and his experience in social work, Schaeffer said, "taught me passion and compassion, which stand at the very core of who I am."
Among other key priorities he identified for ESPA are ensuring that schools are "safe, respectful, nurturing zones," that LGBT seniors find opportunities to age "in comfort, security, and dignity," and that shelters for homeless youth, LGBT and otherwise, "are fully funded."
Below is Schaefer's introductory video.
At the Pride Agenda's Fall Dinner, Emmy- and Tony Award-winning actress Judith Light accepted the organization's award for activism.
Light has won acclaim for her performances on Broadway in such plays as WitLombardi, and Other Desert Cities, for which she received a 2012 Tony Award. She is, however, best known for her television work, which includes memorable roles on One Life to Live, Who's the Boss?, Ugly Betty, and Law & Order Special Victims Unit.
For many years, Light has been an outspoken supporter of the glbtq community. She serves on the boards of the Matthew Shepard Foundation and the Point Foundation. She spoke at the 1993 March on Washington. A library at the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center is named after her.
She has also participated in Cyndi Lauper's "Give a Damn" campaign, which encourages straight people to speak for the glbtq community and end discrimination and hatred.
In accepting the award, Light described the glbtq community as her inspiration. She said that she is who she is because of the impact on her of the gay community.

Some aspects of breast-feeding may come naturally. But learning some breast-feeding skills and techniques can help you be more successful. Before
your baby is born, take classes, read books, and watch videos that demonstrate
breast-feeding techniques.
If you have concerns about your ability to
breast-feed, talk to a lactation consultant while you are pregnant. After your
baby is born, it is helpful to have one-on-one instruction with a lactation
specialist or other knowledgeable health professional.
Breast-feeding may go

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Gilad Shalit, the former Israeli soldier held captive by Hamas in the Gaza Strip, is accompanying 231 new immigrants from the United States, among them 106 children.
Shalit spent more than five years in captivity before a lopsided prisoner exchange with the Gaza-based terror group in October 2011.
In the first chartered aliyah (immigration to Israel under the Law of Return) flight this summer, co-sponsored by Nefesh b'Nefesh, the Jewish Agency, Jewish National Fund (Keren Kayemet l'Yisrael) and the Immigrant Absorption Ministry, is slated to arrive at 7:00 a.m. Tuesday.
The 231 new immigrants are made up of 41 families, 54 young singles and 106 children. By summer's end, 2,500 new immigrants will call Israel home.
Nefesh b'Nefesh, which has helped thousands of Jews from the United States, Canada and England immigrate to Israel, said the 989 children slated to immigrate this year represent a 20 percent increase from 2012.
Israeli Aliyah and Absorption Minister Sofa Landver, Agricultural Minister Yair Shamir, and Jewish Agency chairman Natan Sharansky are among those who will welcome the new arrivals at Ben Gurion International Airport on Tuesday morning.

can't get new wireless mouse to work on my notebook
- I just purchased a Logitech wireless mouse, inserted the battery in the mouse properly, plugged in the wireless usb device and the mouse doesn't work. Do I have to disable the pointer pad?
Re: can't get new wireless mouse to work on my notebook
I had the same problem-kept doing searches for pad when mouse was where I found what I needed.
Intuitively why would I search for what I didn't yet have?
My laptop is a G72 here is what I did:
Click on Start, type mouse in the search box, click on change mouse settings, then click on device settings, then put a checkmark in the box next to disable internal pointing device when external usb pointing device is attached. Can't remember now whether I clicked on OK or Apply.
(When I remove the usb thingy the touchpad is functional again and it switches instantly to the mouse when I insert the usb thingy.)
ps when the time comes to hook up your laptop to your tv set you will want to search for the word projector ROFLMAO

Can you post a pic of the meter in use?
One that shows the legend for the lead jacks?
- Jim
Jim - i'm familiar with a meter - wall reads 225VAC (on 700V range). My meter has only two ranges for AC: 700 and 200V. Was using it on 200VAC for the ABS sensor where it produces a reading of xxx.x. No reading at all from a spinup by hand (and leads in the correct housing in the meter). Everything has the same range except for HV DC.
It was difficult to get a pair of clip leads into the deep housing of the socket, but i'm fairly sure they were ok as they recorded non zero (shorted meter leads) resistance of about 50 ohms from memory)
I'll try again later with help from the missus.
Reports from the F650 suggest a 0.3VAC output at 30rpm, which is a fair bit slower than I was spinning it.

Honda Magna
|DOHC 4-valve 90° V-4
|Honda Sabre V4, Honda Interceptor
The Honda Magna was a cruiser motorcycle made from 1982 to 1988 and 1994 to 2003 and powered by Honda's V4 engine taken from the VF/VFR. The engine technology and layout was a descendant of Honda's racing V4 machines, such as the NS750 and NR750. The introduction of this engine on the Magna and the Sabre in 1982, was a milestone in the evolution of motorcycles that would culminate in 1983 with the introduction of the Interceptor V4.[1] The V45's performance is comparable to that of Valkyries and Honda's 1800 cc V-twin cruisers. However, its mix of performance, reliability, and refinement was overshadowed by the more powerful 1,098 cc "V65" Magna in 1983.
While Honda's release of their V4 technology in the Magna (and other bikes like the Sabre and Interceptor) was certainly a bold move, it was somewhat overshadowed by at least two problems. One was the decline of motorcycle sales after the boom in the 1970s. While Honda quality was a given and the amount of features provided in these bikes was great, they were still relatively expensive bikes at the time. An expensive, complex bike was difficult to sell in a down market. The second was the manufacturing and engineering problems encountered after the release in 1982.
Though criticized for its long-distance comfort and lauded mainly for its raw acceleration,[2][3] the Magna was the bike of choice for a Canadian grandmother who toured the world solo by motorcycle, without benefit of the support crew that usually accompanies riders in adventures depicted in such films as Long Way Round.[4][5][6]
The Honda Magna of years 1982–1988 incorporated a number of unique features into a cruiser market dominated by V-twin engines. The V4 engine configuration provided a balance between torque for good acceleration and high horsepower. The 90-degree layout produced less primary vibration, and the four cylinders provided a much smoother delivery of power than a V-twin. Good engine balance, plus short stroke and large piston diameter allowed for a high redline and potential top speed.
Besides the engine configuration, the bike had water cooling, a six-speed transmission for good economy at highway speed, and common on other middleweight bikes for Honda in the early 1980s, shaft drive. While the shaft drive is very convenient with virtually no maintenance required (and no oil getting slung around), it also robbed some power from where it was more evidently lacking on in town or lower speed riding. Features like twin horns, hydraulic clutch, and an engine temperature gauge add nice touches to the bike. A coil sprung, oil bath, air preload front fork with anti-dive valving was an improvement, although the Magna did not benefit from the linkage based single shock that was on the Sabre and Interceptor.
The V-65 Magna and other large-displacement Hondas were assembled in the Marysville Motorcycle Plant in Ohio.[3] In 2008, Honda announced plans to close the plant, their oldest in North America, in 2009, which had been still making Gold Wings and VTX cruisers.[7]

The first generation 1982 V45 Magna has a round chrome headlight and fenders. The headight is a sealed beam type. The front disc brakes have straight grooves, dual piston calipers, and TRAC anti-dive. The speedometer reads 80 mph. The redline is 10,000 rpm. The engine is a 748 cc DOHC 16-valve liquid-cooled 90-degree V-4 linked to a six-speed transmission with a hydraulically actuated wet-plate clutch and shaft drive. The compression is 10.5:1
The 1983 V45 Magna is the same as the 1982 model with some differnces. Early in the model year, the headlight was changed to a non-sealed beam unit with replaceable halogen bulb. The fuel tank and side covers are black. The front disc brake grooves are curved. The speedometer reads to 150 mph (240 km/h). (1983 starting SN JH2RC071*DM100011)
The US government imposed tariff rate hikes for foreign-built motorcycles over 700 cc in order to combat their rise in sales in North America, and to aid the domestic motorcycle manufacturers, namely Harley-Davidson. So for 1984 Honda responded by reducing the engine size for the VF750s to 698 cc, and the Magna became the VF700C in the USA. The headlight changed from round chrome to a rectangular chrome housing. The seats were changed to a wider 2 piece design in an attempt to improve rider comfort. The rear shocks also changed to eliminate the extra fluid reservoir. The wheels were different as well. Honda only made the VF700 for the late part of 1984, 1985, 1986, and 1987, then back to the VF750 after that. The first part of 1984, the Magnas were VF750.
Models from 1982 to 1984 were unique in their use of a larger primary fuel tank and smaller sub-tank. The sub-tank is located almost in the position of a side cover, well below the level of the carburetor banks and has a low-fuel sensor incorporated into the body. Owing to the low seat height (much lower than in a standard street bike) and cruiser styling of the bike, the main tank is relatively small. Because the bottom end of the sub-tank is so low, all bikes in this family have a fuel pump to get the fuel up into the carburetors. In practice, the fuel pump adds more complexity to a carbureted bike which otherwise doesn't need pressure fed fuel.
Beginning in 1985 models, the sub-tank was dropped in favor of a slightly larger and wider main tank. Again because the reserve level of the tank was below the carburetor, the requisite fuel pump and series of fuel lines was kept.

The large displacement 1,098 cc (67.0 cu in) V65 Magna attracted attention as Honda's entry in the 1/4 mile wars between manufacturers at the time, causing Suzuki to respond with the 1200 Madura (which had a 1/4 mile time of 11.66 s at 115.7 mph), and going up against such competition as the Suzuki GS1150E (10.47 s at 128 mph).[10] The V65 lay somewhere between these two in performance, posting a quarter mile time of 11.29 s at 119.2 mph (191.8 km/h).[3]

The Honda VF500 is one of Honda's second generation V4 motorcycle engines produced in a series of motorcycles designated with VF and VFR initials. For 1984-1986, Honda produced the 498 cc, V4 DOHC VF500 for the VF500C Magna V30 (1984/85) and its sister bike, the VF500F (1984-86). This engine is an evolution of Honda's original domestic market 400 cc engine, originally deemed too small and underpowered for certain markets - notably the United States and Europe. Focusing on adding power and versatility to its motorcycle offerings, Honda bored the original 400 cc motor and improved its power and performance. The engine is almost entirely identical to the version in the Interceptor VF500F sport bike, and while Honda sold the VF500C Magna in the United States, it advertised it as the "most powerful midsize custom in the world".[better source needed]]][12]
This standard motorcycle was introduced as a balanced bike that was just as enjoyable yet easier to ride in town than its larger Magna siblings, with good power and a broad torque band. Thanks to its V4 design, power in the 500 engine is not peaky and ample torque can be found throughout the rev band, and the six-speed transmission ratio was unique to this bike versus the ratio on the VF500F.[better source needed]]][13] The engine produced between 64-68 horsepower, and combined with its low weight and low center of gravity, the bike was lauded by critics as an easy to ride and entertaining motorcycle.[better source needed]]][13]
The Magna had no shaft drive like its larger siblings, but a traditional chain drive.[better source needed]]][13]

Various mechanical and cosmetic changes were introduced over the years, but the basic core of the Magna remained the same. The second generation Magna of '87-'88 was dubbed the Super Magna by aficionados of the bike, though it was not an official Honda name. In 1987, the 700 cc engine produced 80 bhp (60 kW) @ 9,500 rpm, with torque being 46 ft·lbf (62 N·m) @ 7,500 rpm. In 1988, the Magna grew back to its original size of 748 cc.
In countries other than the US, the Magna continued as a 750. The Magna V-four has endured through the first and second generations of the VF and VFR Interceptors - both come and gone by 1988. Like the original 750 Sabre and VF 750, this 750 Magna engine uses a 360-degree crankshaft and chain-driven double-overhead camshafts. Thus, the VF750C unit is technologically quite different from Honda's last V-four sport bike engine, the VFR750 Interceptor, which had gear-driven overhead cams and a 180-degree crankshaft.
The Super's cams are also line-bored (a feature first seen in the Euro 1985 VF1000F & F-II, and 85/86 VF1000R, 1986 VF500F, 1986 VF700C Magna), which greatly reduced the premature cam wear that plagued the earlier models, together with changed oil ducts.
The 1987 V45 Magna was available in either Candy Wave Blue or Candy Bourgogne Red (1988 dropped Blue in favor of Black). For 1987, the fake airbox covers were wrinkle black with a "Magna" emblem. The fake airbox emblem changes to "V45" for the 1988 model.
The 1987 Super Magna had a silver, grey & black Honda "wing" tank decal, while the 1988 model had a silver "MAGNA" tank decal.
The exhaust system was now an upswept 4-into-4 set of pipes, truly unique in the cruiser world. Although the exhaust pipes were a beautiful sight, they were not friendly to the use of saddlebags as they were too high. The rear wheel was a solid aluminum disc. The chin fairing was unfinished black plastic for the 87, and color-matched for the 88. The second generation was also the first to have the lower seat height of a mere 27.8 inches (706 mm), more than 4 inches (102 mm) lower than its predecessor. A total of 16,000 units were built for the 1987 model year, while only 3500 were built for 1988. (1987 starting SN JH2RC280*JA100001)

The Magna 750 was launched in 1993 as an early release 1994 model. Honda sought to capture the market for powerful cruisers by lifting the engine from the VFR750 and slotting it in a cruiser chassis. The engine itself was beautified by the addition of chrome and some extra fins, and by the chromed 4 into 4 exhaust. The seat was kept very low, at 28 inches, with the passenger seat being detachable. The all new frame was complemented by 41 mm forks, dual shocks, and a single disc on the front. A drum brake was used on the rear. A few internal changes were made to the VFR engine for use in the Magna, including a different crankshaft, a 5-speed transmission and chain driven cams. Smaller carbs were also utilized. The changes resulted in a stronger mid-range pull, and a very broad band of power.
The design of the 3rd generation Magna remained relatively unchanged over its lifetime. The tank decal was changed in 1995, and a miniature fairing was available on 1995 and 1996 Deluxe models.
2004 saw the demise of the Magna, along with other Honda stablemates such as the V-Twin Shadow ACE and Shadow Spirit, as well as the 6-cylinder Valkyrie.

Recipe of the Month
Professor Murray's Recipe of the Month
Sweet Potato Cheesecake
As the weather begins to cool there are so many great fall fruits and vegetables available in local markets. One of my favorites is the sweet potato. Botanically known as Ipomoea Batatas, this starch is native to the Caribbean and South America.
With so many great uses for this member of the potato family, I created this recipe over 15 years ago. Along with being published numerous times this cheesecake still remains a classic.
This fall the Hotel, Restaurant, and Tourism students will be creating this unbelievable dessert along with other great cuisine in our campus laboratory. Please enjoy!
- 16 ounces of soften cream cheese
- 1 ½ cup of white sugar
- 8 ounces of ricotta cheese
- 4 ounces of sour cream
- 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 3 cups of graham cracker crumbs
- 1/8 cup of sugar
- 6 ounces of warm butter.
Mix all ingredients together and carefully press cookie mixture on the bottom of the spring form pan into a paper thin layer. Press remaining crust around the sides of the pan and reserve.
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Wrap a 10-12 inch spring form pan with prepared crust in foil tightly.
- Peel and boil sweet potato until fork tender. Chill and reserve.
- Slowly cream together cream cheese and sugar. Next add ricotta cheese and sour cream. Mix for 30 seconds.
- Add lemon juice and vanilla extract. Scrape the sides of the bowl ensuring all batter is mixed completely.
- Carefully add eggs one at a time.
- Reserve 1 cup of batter in a small bowl. Place remaining batter into prepared spring form pan.
- Place 1 cup of reserved batter in a blender or food processor with chilled sweet potato. Process for 15 seconds. Carefully place sweet potato mixture around the top of cheesecake.
- Using a bamboo skewer fold sweet potato mixture into cheesecake batter being carefully not to touch the bottom of the cake.
- Place 2 heat safe plates on the bottom of a large roasting pan. Place cheese cake on top of plates and carefully pour 1 quart of water into roasting pan.
- Cover the entire pan gentle with foil and bake until firm about 2 to 2 ½ hours. Chill for 4 to 8 hours and enjoy.

I've been reading these two posters on the *?* Boards since my days in AC1 (especially Korrigan, who just registered here recently - but who has been posting there since 2001). And I thought you guys might enjoy reading their Darkfall beta reviews. One is pro and one is con.
As for copyright gibberish, violating rules by posting a link to a competing forum, etc. - I'm just going to copy and paste the two reviews. Anyone who is pissed is welcome to hunt me down and murder my wife if they need revenge. - Pynda
Mini-Review by Loktofeit
The UI is very different from most MMOs and takes a lot of getting used to. Right clicking switches between what seems like a Move/Fight/Get mode and... access to everything else. There's a definitely learning curve to it, which can be very frustrating for some. I found that after two or three nights (about 4 or so hours of gameplay) I was a lot more comfortable with the controls. Switching modes during movement and during combat became very fluid, especially once I got over that right-click hurdle. Bags and inventory are freeform, much like UO.
Your character has a journal and currently it loads god-awfully slow, but it have a good amount of information in it. Kills, deaths, enemies, a collection of datestamped information... just a decent amount of stats and goodies for most achiever types and goal setters.
Darkfall is a skill-based MMO. You can pick and choose what you want your character to be. Unlike most MMOs on the market where your only option is 'guy who fights stuff', DFO goes the direction of UO and EVE Online - your crafter doesn't need to increase his 'fight stuff' skills just to progress in his crafting.
Like UO, there are only a few extra abilities and they only unlock at certain levels of proficiency with your skills. This seems to go a long way towards keeping combat based on twitch and tactics (more onthe good and bad of that later) and not introducing 'OP' or 'imba' skill combinations/classes. This will probably pose a problem for the players that are playing to 'skill up' but those players probably aren't going to have fun in DFO anyway as it does not have the Diku carrot on a stick progression that reinforces focus on 'skill ups', 'level ups' and 'dings'.
Skills are gained by use. Sparring with guildmates, fighting mobs, crafting items, mining ore, etc... just do it and skill goes up. I couldn't tell if skill gain was going slow or fast, however it seemed to move reasonably well enough that I was able to hold my own in PvP, so I was satisfied with it. Most of the guild was able to get their fighting skills to about the 50s (out of 100) and beyond in less than a week, and they were able to handle their own in PvP rather well.
Being able to decide what weapons and armor I want to use worked well for me. I liked being able to pick from a plethora of skills rather than be told which subset I am allowed to use because of a decision I made on my first day of play. However, for the average MMO gamer, the lack of direction could prove daunting. Despite my affinity for the complete skill-based system, there is a lot to be said for having a one-button solution for the person that says "I want to play a mage' or "I want to play a hunter.'
You won't be ooh-ing and aah-ing at most of the Darkfall graphics, but you probably won't need to reduce them to blurs just to see them which is a good thing for PvPers. AoC and LOTRO, this is not. It's pretty enough to get by, but the crowd looking for an SM3/DX10 tech demo disguised as a game is going to be disappointed.
Positional sounds made hunting players very fun. You can hear the clanking of the heavier armours, the footsteps on various terrains... Darkfall is a visual and audible treat for those who like to actively hunt and sneak around.
I heard a pack of Dwarves heading my way and was able to thwart their ambush efforts. As I fled, I dodged their spells and arrows. Once over the horizon, I ducked behind a large tree, and walked slowly around, keeping them on the other side ... out of sight and free.
The graphics and sound won't be winning any awards, but their functionality within the game world is exceptional.
There isn't much of any, and I haven't found really any use for it other than to get some starter cash as a newb. The resources for making gear can be easily harvested, and crafted goods are better than drop/vendor loot. The mobs do help one get used to the twitch gaming of PvP - without the mobs to train players to move around and target their enemy, most players would stand still and mash the attack button come PVP time and that's just instant death.
Personally, I really like it. It's a hunter's paradise in an arena where awareness of surroundings and twitch gaming both factor far more than gear and level. My view of the PvP is definitely biased. Practicing firing my arrow in just the right location so that the fleeing target and the arrow meet is a lot of fun for me. Following groups of travelers and picking off stragglers from the back one by one is fun. Big gigantic slugfests with polearms and friendly fire is chaotic and messy. Kill and death counts are great. The journal tracks PvP stats... it's... loverly. happy
I'm looking forward to playing. My time in beta has been a really entertaining and engaging experience. I'm not the grind type, so in previous MMOs I always fell behind the guild in leveling and I ended up going back to one of 'the old standbys' around mid-level. I'm not having that problem in Darkfall, as it is not a level-dependent MMO. So far my experiences indicate that I can play more casually than my guildmates in Darkfall and still be a viable asset to the team.
First, let me tell you that DFO is not even remotely close to the disasters that where Dark and Light or even Shadowbane. It's definitely better. The client is stable, there's little to no lag, on the technical side Aventurine are very good.
The graphics aren't bad, and they have one of the most impressive global lighting engine (sun/moon shadows/light) of the industry. There are no dynamic light sources though, torches and braziers don't emit any light. Despite that little detail, the graphics are still good enough, WAY better than what the screenshots could make one think. They also have the best vegetation (trees, bushes, etc...) I've seen in a long time, and it all MOVES in the wind, unlike the frozen rock solid vegetation of most other games including Age of Conan. Their water is ugly though, even if they have a nice shore effect, but they could easily do a better pixel shader for the water surface.
The animations suck monkey balls. Yeah, they suck so bad. Even worse. It's not a game breaking issue, but don't expect Conan or WoW quality here. It's really bad.
The sound isn't good either. Could be worse, but it seriously lacks. There are no ambient sounds, which is a shame considering the vast lush world they designed.
The world is huge, but nowhere close to needing 50 hours to cross like I've read some over enthusiastic fans pretend. It's still large enough, and those who remember AC1 with fond memories will feel at home, everything is hand crafted, you have points of interest all over the place.
Sadly, here comes the negatives... the world is dead and empty. You have mob camps, of course, and many of them, all over the place, but that's all. The dynamic spawns that were promised, that roaming wildlife we read about, doesn't exist at all. The world consists in vast, empty areas containing a few sparse camps full of mobs. Same thing for towns, outposts and NPCs. You have very few NPCs, they are static, the towns are dead and uneventful. If you hoped for living, breathing towns, like UO's Britannia, you are in for a huge deception.
The UI sucks. Plain and simply. The chat system would be good if we were 10 years ago, but not today. Many important features require you to type long chat /commands instead of having a UI interface for it, like all games have since 8+ years now. Inventory management is a major pain, as the position of items in the bags isn't stored, resulting in a big random mess. The UI is good... for stone age. Not for a 2009 MMORPG.
The combat is horribly dull, low level spells are completely useless and it's basically a grind worse than anything you've seen before to get to skill levels where skills start to mean something and where combat starts to be more than just left mouse button mashing. The abilities you gain when your skills raise aren't equally distributed over the course of your progression, but all grouped at a few milestones (25,50,75,100), so you're gonna spend ages grinding before your character gets moves which will make combat a bit more involved and varied. Magic is even worse, newbie spells (1 ranged attack and 1 heal) are completely useless, the heal heals for... 12 points when you have 200 health, and has a long cooldown. You have to grind through lesser magic and greater magic before you can take a specialized magic school and start to get interesting spells.
In PvE as well as PvP, unless one of the opponents is a one armed blind monkey of course, the winner is the one who has the most potions. Stamina and health potions are the "skills" required in Darkfall. The end of an encounter is always automatically a wild chase where you better have more stamina potions than the one you chase or the ones chasing you.
Exploits. Exploit early and often will be a motto in DFO just like it was in AC1. Exploit the alignment system and the friendly fire to get people flagged as criminals so you can kill them without alignment hit. Exploit speed hacking, which is still rampant in the beta. Not to mention that those of you who loved macros in AC1 will feel at home, the world is full of people shooting spells into trees or walls to compensate for the poor and useless low level magic, and other people standing in front of a rock under the protection of the guard towers macroing gathering skills for hours.
When you first enter the game, you tend to think the mob AI is fun and different, but you quickly realize it's actually not better than any other MMO, if not worse in many cases, unless you consider mobs always coming in packs and calling friends superior AI.
Crafting is similar to combat, horribly dull and boring. Harvesting basically consist in standing in front of a rock, a tree or a bush for hours and pressing the mouse button over and over again. Yes, on the SAME rock. NO, you don't explore to find resource nodes. It makes resource gathering in WoW look like an interesting and involving activity in comparison.
I will only make a short paragraph on quests, as they are as good as nonexistent. Don't await anything as epic as Aerfalle, Frore or even just the Green Mire Cuirass in AC1. Quests are ALL of the type "please go kill 5 goblins" or "please get me 5 goblin axes", and quest objectives are marked on the map, so there's no exploration involved at all, it's basic "go to marked mole hill and whack a mole" quests. Mind you, that's not automatically bad, as this is supposed to be a sandbox game where players create their own content... but it's important for some, so I had to mention it too.
In conclusion, gameplay in DFO is, to the opposite of what has been promised, a HUGE LONG GRIND. To get anywhere, you will have to first endure hours of button mashing, without any options. Not that I don't complain that it takes time to master a skill, no, that is perfectly normal. I complain because combat completely lacks OPTIONS and DIVERSITY. You have no snares, no meaningful healing, no varied abilities, nothing, the only thing you can do is 1) mash the button, 2) chug potions and 3) run away. It's worse than anything I've seen recently, even in games like Lineage2 you had meaningful abilities and spells at low level, here you have nothing but completely useless spells and your left mouse button. The only skill you need is having enough potions stocked up.
I'm sorry to sound negative, but for now, DFO is not even remotely close to Ultima Online. Pretending it does is actually an insult to Ultima. Ultima offers a huge variety and is interesting at the second you log into the game, DFO isn't unless you first endure a long boring grind. Same for AC1, any basic newbie town quest in Holtburg beats the crap out of any "kill 5 goblins" crap in DFO.
They have a good base to make an excellent game, their world is very well crafted even if it badly lacks wildlife and NPCs, but in its actual stage, it's a game that is stable, yes, but just above alpha status concerning content and balancing. I guess it will please people who want full loot PvP with some city sieging, but DFO is closer to a glorified first person shooter on which someone has grafted a long boring grind. It also looks like it will be about the ones who find the best exploits (and the most potions) instead of the ones who are more skilled and have the best strategy. Yeah, I'm disappointed. I was expecting much better from a game that has been in development for over 8 years.
Will I pre-order or buy at release? Nope.

Fair reviews both of them. Tbh, I think everyone has gotten enough info to make an informed decision (short of actually playing the game), wether or not the game is worth buying.
The rules of Debate are really simple; once you have to stoop to insults instead of facts, logic, or reason to try and win your argument, you've lost.

I wasn't too excited about Darkfall the first few days, but as I played more (especially with a clan) I saw how fun the game could be.
Also, the PvE and quest system is the same as oldschool UO - basically non-existent. But just like UO, it doesn't matter because that's not the point of the game.

Nice reviews both of them , that's pretty much what i saw when i played it.......as to whether or not the game is worth buying that's for everyone to decide by themselves,personally i'll go along with the second review and just wait and see how it goes before i put any money into the game but so far from what i have experienced and seen it's nothing what i expected it to be and the sad part is i saw that one coming...........
Iiii-iiiiiit's.... me!!! *Hooray*

Yeah fair reviews.
The first guy had the same gaming background as me, and he is the one that I ended up agreeing with.
As for the second guy, it was a decent review, i get that he has issues with the game and thats fair enough.
A few of the issues like lack of mob spawn and being grey-exploited will from all accounts not be an issue in the game, same with some of his complain of the UI like the /commands required for making a party etc...
He really bashed on the combat thou, while the first guy loved it, and that is perfectly understandable.
I believe the combat system has merit, but its so different from all previous mmo combat systems that it seems to be a love it or hate it deal, u either get it or u dont.
Still decent reviews.

I've seen both these posters around for quite some time. Both good reviews.
This is what you want to see, both reviews saying basically the same thing, and one likes the game, one not so much.
That tells you both are tellling the truth about the game, and the rest is just a matter of preference.
At least the features are accurately described, adn you can decide for yourself if you like those features or not.
DF isn't my sort of game, but I think it will do ok and have a decent following. I prefer in depth PvE to be included in my game so I can switch back and forth between PvP and PvE. IMO, you can't do good PvE in an FFA PvP game. RvR yes, FFA not likely.
Also, while some will really like the FPS sort of combat with spells and arrows, it's a major turn off for me. If I'm going to use some FPS combat, I'm going straight for Call of Duty or Battlefied. I play MMORPGs specifically becasue they don't have FPS combat.

I agree with you Ihmotepp, just not my style of combat, but I do hope it does well, if for no other reasons as it will hopefully stimulate the innovation in MMOs again instead of leaving us with EQ clones for the rest of our existances.

Very good reviews of the game. Both gave reasons as to why they did/didn't like certain features, which is a nice change from the "I just didn't like it!!!" threads. Seeing them back to back is also a plus. Thanks for this

AT&T Increases Activation Fee to $40
Article Comments 50
Jun 12, 2014, 10:56 AM by Eric M. Zeman @phonescooper
AT&T has bumped up the price of activating new equipment on two-year plans from $36 to $40. The change went into effect June 8. The fee doesn't apply to AT&T Next plans, though AT&T told Fierce Wireless that heavy adoption of its early upgrade program played a role in increasing the activation fee for those signing contracts. AT&T spokesperson Mark Siegel claimed "there are administrative and other costs associated with activating or upgrading a device" on two-year plans. Sprint charges a $36 activation fee, Verizon charges a $35 activation fee (waived if customers sign up for Edge within two month), and T-Mobile doesn't charge an activation fee at all for customers who select a Simple Choice plan.

Henderson Co. jobless rate jumps to 18-month high
Henderson County's unemployment rate jumped to an 18-month high last month, mirroring a statewide trend.
The unemployment rate here climbed to 8.1 percent in June, up from 7.6 percent in both May and June 2012, according to the Kentucky Office of Employment and Training.
That's Henderson County's highest since December 2011, when the rate reached 8.4 percent.
The statewide unemployment rate is also up, rising from a seasonably adjusted 8.1 percent in May to 8.4 percent in June.
"The Kentucky labor market has definitely taken a short-term hit. We had the largest monthly gain in unemployment in over four years," economist Manoj Shanker of the Office of Employment and Training said recently. "A longer view, based on changes from a year ago, shows a definite softening."
Unemployment rates increased in 88 Kentucky counties between June 2012 and June 2013, while 26 county rates fell and six stayed the same.
Meanwhile, a separate federal survey of nonfarm businesses found a slight drop in the number of workers from May to June.
"It is possible that the recent disappointing numbers reflect pay back after stronger than usual hiring earlier in the year," Shanker said.
In Union County, the unemployment rate jumped to 8.0 percent in June, up from 7.2 percent in May and 7.1 percent in June 2012.
Webster County's rate was 8.6 percent in June, up from 8.4 percent the previous month but down from 9.3 percent a year ago.
Woodford County recorded the lowest jobless rate in Kentucky at 6.5 percent, while Magoffin County had the highest rate at 18.5 percent.
Unemployment statistics are based on estimates and are compiled to measure trends rather than actually to count people working. They do not include unemployed Kentuckians who have not looked for employment within the past four weeks.

Wine Festival 2009: Festival chef Adam Cooke creates high-end cuisine from the best his farm has to offer
With a week to go before he makes his Naples Winter Wine Festival debut, chef Adam Cooke still didn't know the exact configuration of his dishes.
He had a good idea of the recipes he would use, but just like all his cooking a lot of things will come to a last minute stroll through the garden.
As the head of The Barn at Blackberry Farms, Cooke has become a prominent figure in the world of sustainable dining. About 80 percent of the food he serves is grown on site, and everything he serves is hyper-seasonal. The menus are typically finalized late in the afternoon
"Most of what we serve was picked maybe a few hours before we serve it," he says. "We've embraced a way of cooking that really simply highlights the flavors of the ingredients."
So for example, if there are some ripe tomatoes, then Cooke might coat them in salt, hang them and use the juice he collects to make a tomato consomme.
"We really want to get a the raw essence of the ingredients," he says. "We aren't using a whole lot of technique, but the flavors are crystal clear."
This is the cooking Cooke has been doing since he was a little boy when he would help his father in the kitchen.
"You either had to help cook or help clean up after," he says. "I always tried to help with the cooking."
After the apprenticeship in his father's kitchen, Cooke went to the New England Culinary Institute in Vermont, which is where he got his start on the sustainable cooking path.
Starting in the early '70s with restaurants like Alice Waters' Chez Panisse in Berkeley, Calif., a small subset of eateries have put the focus on ingredients from local farms, for both taste and environmental reasons. In the past few years, the movement has gotten some prominent supporters from folks like cookbook author Mark Bittman and food writer Michael Pollan, whose 2006 book "The Ominvore's Dilemma" espoused the virtues of food grown on sustainable farms.
Cooke became a full-fledged convert to the movement while working at a bakery in Montana and leapt at the opportunity to create a fine-dining restaurant using those principles.
He calls it a business of relationships, both with people and the ingredients. But most importantly, people want to be able to relate to the food they are eating.
"People even want to know that their chicken nuggets are actually made from chicken, not something else," he says. "The less mixed-up food, the more people can relate it."
He admits that right now, sustainable dining is a luxury. But he says as people's attitudes about processed food and energy efficiency move farther left of center, the sustainable lifestyle will be more readily available.
"More people are looking for it, and a lot of people are finding it's a very profitable way to do business," he says.
Cooke will bring his modern southern cooking to pair with wines (from Napa Valley's Staglin Vineyards and Italy's Allegrini) about as far away from the South as you can get. His goal is to great memorable food that will stay out of the way of the wines.
"After all, it is a wine festival," he says. "The wines are the real stars there."
Cooke is excited about coming to Naples for the wine festival. His wife's parents, Dawn and Tom Ellis, and grandparents, Jerry and Arlene Nichols, live in the area.
"And we try to make it down as often as possible," he says. "But we've been so busy at Blackberry Farms that we haven't been in a couple of years. So it will be nice to be back."
The rest of the chefs
Cooke is just one chef coming to Naples this weekend. Here's a look at the rest.
Emeril Lagasse, Emeril's, New Orleans, Naples Winter Wine Festival Chef de Cuisine
Maybe the most famous chef in the world, thanks to his ubiquitous presence on TV, Lagasse is back for another go at the wine festival, this year as the event's head chef.
Jonathan Benno, Per Se, New York
A disciple of former festival chefs Tom Colicchio and Thomas Kellar, Benno has been a driving force at Kellar's New York outpost, Per Se, which got a four-star rating from the times and has held three Michelin stars for the past three years.
John Besh, Restaurant August, New Orleans
Besh has made just about every publication's "Best Chef" list, plus he was the James Beard Foundation's "Best Chef of the Southeast" in 2006. Perhaps more importantly, Besh has served as a leader in the attempts to get the New Orleans restaurant industry back on its feet after Hurricane Katrina.
Sean Brock, McCrady's, Charleston, S.C.
At 27, Brock is one of the youngest chefs to grace a kitchen at the wine festival. But don't let his age fool you, Brock has already hosted two James Beard Foundation dinners and has a AAA Five Diamond award under his belt.
Marco Canora, Insieme, New York
Another of Colicchio disciple, Canora go his start working in Dean and Deluca's prepared foods kitchen. Now he runs his own restaurant, which take his own family recipes and gives them a contemporary spin.
Mary Ann Esposito, host of "Ciao Italia" on PBS
She doesn't have her own restaurant, but you can argue that as many people have eaten Esposito's food as most of the rest of the chefs combined. For nearly 20 years her show has been seen by 5 million people a month and she's sold more than 1 million cookbooks.
Linton Hopkins, Restaurant Eugene, Atlanta
Like Cooke, Hopkins is a sustainable dining devotee. His restaurant features produce, meats and dairy from farms in the Atlanta area and changes its menu daily to make use of the freshest ingredients.
Mark Kiffin, The Compound, Santa Fe, N.M.
An accomplished cookbook author, Kiffin is one of the leading voices of Southwestern cuisine. His food has earned numerous awards and he is highly sought after for the food and wine festival circuit.
Bob Kinkead, Kinkead's, Washington, D.C.
Kinkead taught himself the industry by starting out working summers in Cape Cod kitchens as a teenager. Eventually he worked his way up the line and led several high-end restaurants in New England. He opened his eponymous D.C. eatery in 1993 and has been racking up awards ever since.
Michael Mina, Michael Mina, San Francisco
Along with his business partner, tennis-great Andre Agassi, Mina has opened a string of successful restaurants around the country, including his namesake eatery. The restaurant has earned two Michelin stars and numerous four-star reviews.
John Tesar, Dallas
Tesar is something of a free-agent now. Mostly recently he led the culinary team at Rosewood Mansion outside of Dallas. But he recently left. So if you are looking for a chef to start your new restaurant, maybe you should be tracking him down at the festival.
Michael Tusk, Quince, San Francisco
After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, Tusk bounced around the kitchens of some of the Bay Area's best restaurants, including Alice Waters' Chez Panisse. There he gained an appreciation for the locally-produced ingredients that flavor his classic Italian cuisine.
Norman Van Aken, Norman's, Orlando
One of the founders of "new American cuisine," Van Aken has long been a fixture in Florida's fine-dining community. In 2004, his Orlando outpost was called the "best restaurant in Florida" by the New York Times.
Tetsuya Wakuda, Tetsuya's, Sydney, Australia
By far the chef travelling the farthest to reach Naples this year, Wakuda is one of Australia's leading chefs. His eponymous restaurant blends Japanese food philosophy with classic French technique and native Australian ingredients.
David Waltuck, Chanterelle, New York
For decades, Waltuck's restaurant has been a staple of SoHo dining. He blends fresh, local ingredients with a mastery of French cooking, to create a unique menu each month.
Michael White, Alto, New York
White's knowledge of Italian cuisine is so extensive, he needs two restaurants to showcase it all. At Alto, he focuses on the northern half of the peninsula, while L'Impero is a Southern Italian food mecca.
