In the news slow week before E3, MMORPG.com Star Wars: The Old Republic columnist Eric Barnett sets his mind to wandering about what might happen if Bioware were to take two routes that seem to be popular among developers recently: moving to a Free 2 Play model and ignoring the IP's niche in favor of a larger audience.

I thougth this game was going to add a cash shop of some sort? Or perhaps it was discussed by the devs in an article?

Never attribute to stupidity that which can be adequately explained by malice.
"A free play model would open up the game to a much wider audience of players"
Good communities aren't always larger ones. In fact, bloating a community tends to ruin it. Great communities aren't filled with "instant gratification" drones and retarded monkies. Wider audience doesn't make a game better.

If the game has no RP time and sandbox time then slap me silly put a c-store in it and call it Star Trek Online... BTW... SWG fans have been slobbering all over SW:TOR news and are waiting to be vindicated by this game if they are disappointed... it will spell disaster for Bioware and the future of Lucas Arts and mmorpg's. BAH! SOE/LA doing CWA lol... that is off topic but smacks of conspiracy with the whole SWG NGE things years back... the future is coming that if you want a real mmorpg your community may have to build it your selves... example: SWGemu project.

MMOs are entertainment, not lifestyles.

Ok first off, theres a little more than ten thousand SWG fans, there may be ten thousand VOCAL SWG fans, but theres way more out there, just look back at the old sub numbers.
Plus have you ever seen how many RP servers there are in WoW? And how many of them are Full all day? Have you ever been to goldshire for the all day ERP that goes on there?
Yea people dont like roleplaying, o yea and people hate sandbox games too, you know what in fact, people just like linear grindfests with super instanced worlds.
That must be why STO and CO are doing so good right? O and I bet Warhammer, Pirates, and AOC are doing great being offered on steam for 10-15 bucks right now?
Yea because everyone likes linear games!
No Wrong! Everyone likes WoW, thats it.
All the other linear games that have come out since WoW have been failures in every right. To the IP and to the fans, the only one that came close was LOTRO, but even that was too straightforward for the out of the box tolkein fans who wanted more from there game.
And you know what else will happen? SWTOR wont make nearly as much money as they put into it, because right now people are thinking a little more with their minds than their wallets. Most people cant afford to throw 50 bucks at a game without knowing they are going to love it.
Does that mean SWTOR will suck? No not in my opinion, I think the story will probably be great, and the single player aspect will be fun, and might be worth a one time purchase.
Which would be ok! IF they wernt making this game with the budget of a blockbuster MMO, which needs a constant flow of income to support itself. But only time will tell.

The difference between all those games you listed and Star Wars is that those aren't anywhere near as mainstream as Star Wars. Sure Star Trek has a following but that following is not as main stream as SW. This game is made to appeal not just to MMO fans but to SW fans and it also helps that Bioware is making it since that company has sold millions of games. Both Bioware and SW fans are looking forward to this game. I personally know about 15 people from work who don't even play MMOs who plan on buying TOR. The game is appealing to both MMO players and people who don't play MMOs just because its SW.

Funny thing ToR, it already divides opinion on forums more than even wow does, it gets talked about more than wow and it has as many people saying it will die as wow does.
Will ToR be a commercial success? without a doubt, I would go as far as to say 99% of people who will play this game dont frequent forums like this one (full of mainstream hate), 99% of gamers are the main stream. ToR will be good and bad for the MMO industry in much the same way wow was, it will bring new players to the MMO scene who will eventually try other MMO's. They will also be able to actually give Blizzard some competition in the hype stakes, Bioware have IP's just as loved if not more so than the blg blue giant and they have some severe financial clout (Though not anywhere near what Blizzard have).
They are taking their time to release a solid product, they are releasing information only when they are 100% sure of it these are two of the biggest requests of the mmo community.
But and I hate to break it to you guys, they like most Game developers understand that you cant please everyone and that while you listen to feedback you have to go with your vision of the game not the vocal members of a forums wishes.
ToR wont go free to play, IF they were then Warhammer online would already be trialing that business model, EA have a massive amount of F2P social MMO games they already know the limits and perks of this business model, but they rarely make their AAA releases F2P. FIFA online with its massive world appeal is an exception based on the fact that football of any medium that is successful will attract massive advertising sponsorship and cross spectrum marketing chances.
ToR will likely start as a Subscription game, establish its player base then offer us a fluff shop, They will look at maximising revenue streams not because they are going bankrupt if they dont (EA are in a little hot water but Lucas Arts who are funding ToR are most assuradly not in trouble) £150 million to them is while a sizeable amount an amount they can absorb the loss of entirely. But I doubt they will need to, I imagine ToR with the interest it will generate will make its money back within a year easy, probably significantly quicker.
I base that on the following bits of information.
Bioware Box games regularly sell in units multiple milions. Mass effect 1 and 2 were commercial successes Dragon Age sold well despite being in a much less mainstream genre. The only Bioware game that didnt sell like hot cakes was Jade Empire and thats becase it was barely Marketed (one of the undeniable tradgedies of gaming is that thanks to bad marketing there will never be a sequel to one of the most beautifully crafted settings of its time)
2, Star wars has the potential to generate massive interest even without prior knowledge of the product Star Wars games generall sell well regardless, star wars tie ins are very very profitable because it has such a broad appeal.
3, Despite what people think, the "theme park" model of MMO is the one that commands the most market share, its the one with the most potential and actual market penetration. Sorry Sandbox Fans but there is a reason most sanboxes can run on 1 server cluster without issues.
4 (And something this Article ignores) the Star wars "Niche" is one of the biggest most consumerist fanbases around. People will buy Star Wars toilet paper if it were available.
The day may come when Microtransactions are the mainstay of MMOs and I will die a little inside, the commitment to a character, building and evolving him is what attracts me to MMOS in the first place, playing with a bunch of people who will jump ship when ever anything goes wrong doesnt appeal to me. Also the F2P model will be the end of balanced end game conents. But ToR wont be the thin end of that Wedge.
Also going F2P is not "Popular" with developers these days, its popular with Turbine, who hold about 3% of the Market share of Sub based MMO's
Under their Sub Model their customer base was in recession, so the tried something bold, its not the start of the end....Stop over reacting and pushing your F2P (whose adverts pay for this site) Agenda.
Promoting thought a new Gaming video blog http://www.youtube.com/user/quinnthalas discussing games, gamers and the internet with gameplay footage as background.
I think either scenario painted by the OP would leave Bioware holding a 150million dollar laughing stock.

I'm not entirely sure you can get away with calling Star Trek not as mainstream as SW. In terms of overall media outlets, Star Trek is far more mainstream than SW. More movies, five different TV series, hell Star Trek has an experience in Vegas (something I don't believe SW has). SW has always been more about flash and not really about substance, especially in the most recent movies. The most recent Star Trek movie was more in line with what SW typically has been, and not really a Star Trek movie to it's truest form.
Star Trek has just as much of a following as Star Wars, but the demographics of the two fan bases are certainly very different. Star Wars grew a younger fan base with the recent movie and Clone Wars series, while Star Trek has always had an older fanbase.

Its almost certain this game will go subscription and have a shop. I'd love to say that EA are funding this game cause they want to make the best damn MMO in the world. But whats really important is making money and EA didn't buy out bioware or opt for the Star Wars IP for any other reason than it would make them money. And in the same vein they know fans will not only pay monthly but they will also pay for nice robes or other cosmetic touches. Allowing EA to get the revenue from both the F2P market model while at the same time getting a monthly subscription.
If they didn't think they could get away with it they wouldn't try. But many people are so amazed that 'its star wars. Its Bioware, Its Kotor' that EA are very aware they have hard core fans that will pay for both and be happy to do it. And if people are happy to pay then EA will be happy to work up a pricing plan to help them.

I am sorry, each to his, really. But I don't think those die-hard UO/SWG-preCU people are more than a few thousands. I know you will claim otherwise, and some delude themselves to think they'd play SWG if it went pre-CU or UO if it went pre-Trammel. Thats just humbug. Even back in the days most SWG gamers found CU a good move and Trammel also. It was always a vocal elite which wanted things in this... primitive design. And that it is for me as younger gamer who doesn't watch 1985 gaming as "glorious old days". It is what older people said for thousands of years, that the past was great and then came the event XYZ who brought only decadence. It is a human myth for millenia of history. Elitist people claimed book printing was decadence and only handwritten copies were really cultivated. Or then combustion engines where invented some elite few claimed horse and carriage was more elegant. Every time something changes some handful claim it was better in the past.
Each to his. If you are into nostalgia, thats fine with me. Sandbox was a phase of early MMO design, not because they were so clever, but because they didn't know what to do other than create a world and drop people in it and "now go see for yourself". Sure, people were creative filling the gap. But it was a gap nontheless. It's like an electricity fail. You value the moody candle light. But you are glad when comfortable electricity in back nontheless.
TOR catches hate from the same sort of people for the same reason they hate WOW: it's popular. I am sure that is the reason at least for 90% of people. It's the same as people in my school were "antis". They didnt really have a geniune taste or ideas. But attacking what was fashion made them look elite and special in the eyes of others - or so they thought. I don't play WOW. I don't like it. But I also do not feel compelled to make a religion out of it and repeat it like a Mantra every single day. I decided not to play WOW and moved on. End of story.
A fantastic article. i enjoyed it.

Take Action
SB 261 passed in the Senate! We have hard work ahead to pass it in the Assembly. Help out.
Did you send a letter to the Senate? Now you need to send one to the Assembly.
Senate Bill 261 (Hancock) would build on the capacity of young people to turn their lives around and not be defined by the worst thing they have ever done. Recognizing that young people age 18 to 23 deserve a second chance, SB 261 would extend the existing youth offender parole process to young adults sentenced to lengthy prison terms.
Please join us in supporting this important bill. Write a letter to the Public Safety Chair AND to your Assembly Member.
- Click here for a support letter you can make your own.
- Click here for a set of several different letters you print and sign! Print them and bring them to family and friends to sign!
Here is a fact sheet about the SB 261, and you can read the SB 261 text here.
Read a piece by Newt Gingrich supporting SB 261.
Let's stop sending so many youth to adult court. Support SB 382!
SB 382 also passed out of the Senate and is in the Assembly.
If you support sending fewer youth to the adult system, send a letter now to the Assembly.
California sends some young people to adult court to face adult prison terms. One way youth get sent to the adult system is in a fitness hearing, where a judge makes the decision. SB 382 would change California law and improve the criteria judges use to make this decision. If you believe the adult criminal system is for adults, help pass SB 382 so that judges have the tools to make carefully considered decisions.
Do you know a young person who was treated like an adult? Were you or someone you loved "fitnessed up" to criminal court? Can you imagine how horrible it is for a young person to get an adult sentence? Then act with us now. Read this piece by Elizabeth Calvin in the Sacramento Bee about why our laws should be reformed.
Read the SB 382 fact sheet here.
Use these sample letters to print and sign! There are six different letters, each with different perspectives. You can choose which fits you…and get your friends and family to sign them, too!
Or, you can personalize a letter–here's a sample with instructions.
Help Change California!
- Be informed! Keep checking back here for updates and news. Sign up for updates right here (upper right, blue box.) We will soon be announcing important bills California is considering this year!
- Be active! We are working on making sure the Youth Offender Parole process under SB 260 is going right. We will participate in the regulation-making process for SB 260, and invite you to help with this, too. Watch for alerts on ways you can be involved.
- Be educated! Join us every first and third Tuesday of the month for a telephone call meeting for family members and friends of youth sentenced to adult prison terms. It's an hour of sharing and learning, and everyone is welcome to attend! Just call in at 8pm to: (805) 399-1000, and use the code: 817682#

Pitch-Drop Worse Than Watching Paint Dry
By editor
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Even if you have been bored watching paint dry or grass grow or water boil, you have nothing on these scientists. An experiment that began in 1944 at Trinity College in Ireland just now has a definitive result - to test whether a thick substance called pitch flowed and dripped. A funnel with the stuff was placed over a jar. Seventy years later students saw a drip forming, set up a camera, and witnessed the drip drop. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Chinatown and CBD South
Boundaries and demographics
The Chinatown and CBD South village covers the area from Bathurst Street in the north to Central railway station in the south, and from Elizabeth Street in the east to Darling Harbour in the west. A map of the area can be downloaded below.
The village group includes the suburbs of Haymarket and a small portion of Sydney (suburb).
According to latest estimates 16,644 residents (9.07% of the City) and 48,071 workers (12.47% of the City) make up the local area.
The past to today
In Haymarket and Chinatown apartment blocks sit among a thriving restaurant scene and a busy shopping district – the second-busiest in the area. The suburb's Chinese character dates back to the 1920s with Sydney's Chinese population dating back to the 1860s.
Darling Harbour was re-opened by Queen Elizabeth II as a tourist quarter in 1988 after it was transformed from a collection of railway yards and port facilities to a lively collection of bars and restaurants, as well as conference facilities and tourist attractions that it is today.

Marriage is a revelation; or, better said, a series of revelations. And a Christ-Follower, whether married or single, is greatly helped when they discover how much our spiritual union with Christ is like a good marriage. As a matter of fact, Paul the apostle encouraged his readers to make the connection and to ponder it when he said that the "object lesson" of marriage is "a profound mystery (Eph. 5:32a)." Let's consider the mystery.When love captures two hearts they both find out soon that there is much to discover. … [Read more...]

When Leaders Overestimate Themselves.
After years of serving in various roles as a leader and alongside other leaders, I have come to believe that the two most common mistakes made by leaders are overestimating themselves and underestimating their responsibilities to the people they serve. This dangerous combination all too often fuels the foolish behavior of overstepping or overreaching as a leader.Among the ranks of American presidents, some would say that George H.W.

Rod Cooper, a professor at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, describes intimacy as "INTO-ME-SEE!" I like that. It says much about what intimacy brings and calls for. Undoubtedly, within the context of marriage, the husband or wife who chooses to give their spouse genuine intimacy gives them much more than a marriage license. They give them themselves . . . unmasked, uncovered and unlimited. … [Read more...]
Martin Luther called this verse "the Gospel in miniature…"
Take some time in prayer today to consider the incredible lengths that Jesus Christ has gone to in order to forge a friendship with you. Carefully consider the one verse of Scripture which the church reformer, Martin Luther, called "the heart of the Bible, the Gospel in miniature":"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life(John 3:16)."Told differently: "God"……………………………………….……………………………..….The greatest Lover "so loved"……………………………………………………………………The greatest Degree "the world"…………………………………………… … [Read more...]
What kind of "fishing" was Jesus talking about?
What role does a church community play in the work of evangelism? A great place to start in looking at this theologically is the actual words and context of Christ's determination: "I will make you fishers of men (Matt. 4:19)." For starters, was his metaphor of ministry about poles or nets?Read my recent article in Leadership Journal called "Rod and Reel, or Net?"

Is Joel Osteen saying that following Christ doesn't involve suffering?
Take a close and careful listen to this recent interview Wolf Blitzer of CNN had with Pastor Joel Osteen. While many will be shocked over his statements about Mormonism, to me the more astounding assertion he makes is related to the subject of Christianity and the theme of suffering.

Samuel Rodriguez Remembers Chuck Colson
Robert Crosby: How would you describe the late Chuck Colson and his contribution to the church world?Samuel Rodriguez: Chuck Colson stands as an iconic figure. He enriched the Christian community by personifying the power of a redeemed narrative. His personal experience speaks of a man who fell into grace rather than falling from grace. From the birth of Prison Fellowship to the Manhattan Declaration, Dr. Colson's optics of reconciling truth with love permeated all aspects of his life. I had the privilege of serving with him on the Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary Board and serving as hi … [Read more...]

Chapter 1
Minty knew it was a ghost sitting in the chair because she was frightened. If it were only something she'd imagined, she wouldn't have been afraid. You couldn't be when it was something that came out of your own mind.
It was early evening but, being wintertime, quite dark. She'd just come home from work, let herself in the front door, and put the hall light on. The front-room door was open and the ghost was sitting on an upright chair in the middle of the room with its back to her. She'd put the chair there to stand on and change a lightbulb before she went out in the morning and forgotten to put it back. Her mouth tightly covered up with both hands to keep the scream in, she took one step nearer. She thought, What will I do if it turns round? Ghosts in stories are gray like the people on black-and-white television or else see-through, but this one had short, dark brown hair and a brown neck, and wore a black leather jacket. Minty didn't have to see its face to know it was her late fiancéeacute;, Jock.
Suppose it stayed there so that she couldn't use the room? It wasn't absolutely still. The head moved a bit and then the right leg. Both feet edged back as if it were going to get up. Minty squeezed her eyes tight shut. Everything was silent. A shriek out in the street from one of the kids that lived opposite made her jump and she opened her eyes. The ghost was gone. She put the light on and felt the seat of the chair. It was warm and this surprised her. You think of ghosts as cold. She moved the chair back to where it belonged under the table. If it wasn't in the middle of the room, maybe he wouldn't come back.
She went upstairs, half expecting to see him there. He could have got past her and come up while she had her eyes shut. Ghosts didn't like lights, so she put them all on, all good hundred-watt bulbs, and he wasn't anywhere to be seen. She'd loved him, thought of herself as married to him though she wasn't, but she didn't want his ghost about. It was upsetting.
Still, he'd gone now and it was time for a good wash. One of the things Jock had liked about her, Minty was sure, was that she was always spotlessly clean. Of course, she'd had a bath this morning before going off to Immacue and she'd washed her hair; she wouldn't dream of leaving the house without, but that was eight hours ago, and she must have picked up all kinds of dirt from Harrow Road and the people who came into the shop, not to mention the clothes they brought that needed dry cleaning.
It was lovely having a bathroom entirely to herself. She said a little prayer of thanks to Auntie as if she were a saint (which was a way Minty had seldom thought of her when alive) every time she went in there, for making that possible. Dear Auntie, thank you for dying and leaving me a bathroom. I'm ever so grateful, it's made a world of difference. Your loving niece for ever and ever, Araminta. She took all her clothes off and dropped them in the laundry basket with the lid. It was expensive having more than one bath a day. She'd have a shower put in when she could afford it. One day, though not as soon as she'd hoped. Meanwhile, standing at the basin on the bath mat, she used the big natural sponge Sonovia next door had given her for Christmas.
Like everything else in the bathroom, the nailbrush had been Auntie's. It was turquoise blue with a handle, which meant you could get a good g

Reprint. 40,000 first printing.
Ruth Rendell is one of the greatest novelists presently at work in our language.
-Scott Turow
"Rendell is not only irresistible because of the brilliance of her descriptions of contemporary life and the sad truth of her characters. She is a great storyteller who knows how to make sure that the reader has to turn the pages out of a desperate need to find out what is going to happen next.
-John Mortimer
It is not only her rate of productivity which is startling. It is also her ability . . . to tap into registers of feeling which range from the commonplace to the psychopathic. She is to be treasured.
-Anita Brookner
Those who haven't read Ruth Rendell have missed something unique and wonderful.
-Tony Hillerman
Ruth Rendell is, unequivocally, the most brilliant mystery novelist of our times. Her stories are a lesson in a human nature as capable of the most exotic love as it is of the cruelest murder. She does not avert her gaze and magnificently triumphs in a style that is uniquely hers and mesmerizing.
-Patricia Cornwell
From the Hardcover edition.

Effect of low and high doses of fasudil. A low dose of fasudil (30 mg/kg once daily), a high dose of fasudil (30 mg/kg twice daily from P3-P6; 50 mg/kg twice daily from P7-P13; 75 mg/kg twice daily from P14-P21), or vehicle (water) was administered by gavage. The different groups analyzed were: untreated wild type (WT) (n = 10), fasudil (high dose)-treated Smn2B/+ (n = 16), vehicle-treated Smn2B/- (n = 16), fasudil (low dose)-treated Smn2B/- (n = 6) and fasudil (high dose)-treated Smn2B/- (n = 10) mice. A) Survival curves show that the low fasudil dosage regimen had no effect while the high fasudil dosage regimen significantly increases the lifespan of Smn2B/- mice when compared to vehicle-treated Smn2B/- mice (*P = 0.03; # indicates death due to malocclusion of the teeth). B) Survival curve shows that the high fasudil dosage regimen has non-negligible toxic effects on both Smn2B/- mice and the normal Smn2B/+ littermates.

Empire-building and price competition
While economic historians have stressed the importance of price competition in the protection market, theorists of conflictual activity have argued against the extrapolation of this form of competition in the protection market and favored competition through the quantity of conflictual effort. We purport to show the relevance of price competition in the protection market by focusing on the competition between empires. By distinguishing absolute and differential protection rents, we first define coercive rivalry and price competition among empires and then establish three types of empires, namely early empires of domination, territorial empires and merchant empires. Empires are structured on the basis of two types of hierarchies: "top-down" and "bottom-up" that determine their protection costs. We systematically study the impact of asymmetrical protection costs on price competition in the light of Bertrand equilibria. We provide an economic rationale for the use of violence throughout history in conformity with the findings of economic historians.

Detection threshold for tones above 22 kHz
To investigate audibility of ultrasounds contained in a complex tone, psychoacoustic experiments were designed. Human subjects were required to discriminate stimuli with and without components above 22 kHz. All subjects distinguished between sounds with and without ultrasounds only when the stimulus was presented through a single loudspeaker. When the stimulus was divided into six bands of frequencies and presented through 6 loudspeakers in order to reduce intermodulation distortions, no subject could detect any ultrasounds. It was concluded that addition of ultrasounds might affect sound impression by means of some non-linear interaction that might occur in the loudspeakers.

Opportunities Abound For Women In Horticulture, Says Dosatron International's Lela Kelly
My love for horticulture goes back to my grandparents who were farmers in upstate New York. My family's involvement in agriculture left a lasting impression that has spanned decades, and still drives my passion for our industry today. I started my career in horticulture when I owned a greenhouse, nursery and garden center in Sayville, Long Island, N.Y. We specialized in ground cover production, later branching out to producing perennials and bedding plants. I then went onto wholesale hard goods distribution. In the 1980s, I was the first woman salesperson on Long Island. What an eye opener that was! New York is a very special place, different from anywhere else in the country. You cannot imagine how difficult it was walking into greenhouses and nurseries as a woman, in a man's world. Luckily, I grew up in New York City in an Italian family, who taught me great […]

Concern Grows Over Unregulated Pesticide Use On Cannabi…
As most growers know well, the federal government regulates all insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and other commercial chemicals used on agricultural crops. Therein lies the problem with use of chemicals on cannabis crops – so far, the feds want nothing to do with legalized marijuana. According to "Concern Grows Over Unregulated Pesticide Use On Cannabis," a June 17 article on the National Public Radio (NPR) network by Agribusiness Reporter Luke Runyon, the lack of regulated chemicals for cannabis has left growers to experiment on their own. "In the absence of any direction the subject of pesticide use on the crop has just devolved to whatever people think is working or they think is appropriate," said Colorado State University Entomologist Whitney Cranshaw in the NPR report. "Sometimes they've used some things that are appropriate, sometimes unsafe." Denver officials held tens of thousands of marijuana plants earlier this year due to safety concerns, but […]

The Butterfly Effect: Insect's Wings Key To Azalea Poll…
A researcher from North Carolina State University (NC State) has found that in the case of the flame azalea (Rhododendron calendulaceum), all pollinators are not created equal. In fact, due to the flower's unique reproductive structure, butterflies — and specifically, their wings — are the key to pollination. The flame azalea is commonly found in the Appalachian Mountains, ranging from as far north as New York to Georgia in the south. Like most azaleas, the flowers are large, and have an unusual structure: both the anther (male) and stigma (female) parts are very elongated and separated from one another. NC State biologist Mary Jane Epps was interested in how the azalea's flower structure affected its pollination. "In order for a plant to reproduce, a pollinator — usually an insect — has to spread the pollen from the anther to the stigma," Epps says. "In the case of the flame azalea, […]

text: Poor shots, low jam in front of net. When the bruins get out-shot, they usually win. When they had that long losing stretch they outshot opponents all the time. Less bad shots, more good ones. Simple. I hate watching players cruise down and take bad shots. Posted by OatesCamSpot on with this post. Outshooting doesn't always mean outplaying, either. Look at the Finals last year. How many games were the Bruins outshot? Without looking, my guess is all of them. But they still vastly out played their opponent. I feel like the Bruins have outplayed the Capitals this series, but not because of their shot amount, there are many other reasons for that. I do feel like they have not challenged Holtby enough with, as you said, their cruising down and taking bad shots. Traffic in front and rebounds. That's how they'll win this. I've been saying it from day one, they just haven't done it. They need to get into Holtby's face a little and rough him up, too. Hopefully stay away from goalie interference calls, but do it enough to throw him off his game.

29 year old woman | Henderson, NV, USA | Seeking men 27-35 within 50 miles
Looking for a change...
Hello :) My name is Emma Haley. I am 27 and just moved to Las Vegas. I am originally from a tiny country town in northern california. I enjoy a lot of things from fishing, watching a movie, reading a book, or going out and having a drink and dancing. I am very shy when you first meet me, but open up soon after. I have a very close family and was raised with morals. I have been through a lot, but have learned from everything. I have no regrets. I am not perfect and I do make mistakes, but then again that applies to everyone! ;) I am a nationally certified Emergeny Medical Technician. I am currently working in the behavioral health field, which seems to be very rewarding so far! :) :) Anywho, if you are still reading this....maybe you are interested in meeting a friend? Maybe more... You never know. :) I want someone who can communicate, someone who is stable on their own two feet, someone who doesn't just give up when there is an issue at hand, and most importantly I am looking for my best friend. Someone to love, someone to trust. I am not into men that just want me to stroke their ego, and if you are looking for a one night stand...please keep looking. :) And please no drugs, Sorry.:) I don't want to write my entire life story;) , so I will end with that. P.s. I am doing this from my phone, so if there are mistakes... I blame the phone ;) :D

— Posted by Eric on March 3, 2011
As many of you know we've had some pretty crazy weather this season full of wind, ice, snow and more snow! We are making some changes to our DOR (Daily Operations Report) to reflect the status of lift. We now have four statuses:
We are also implementing an "early warning system" which our snow reporters will trigger on days when inclement weather will most likely impact our mountain operations. Please view our online snow report at either:
Or on a mobile device
We hope these changes will help us more accurately represent the lifts/terrain we will have open on any given day.

text: 1590s (adj.) "flesh-colored," from French incarnadine, from dialectal Italian incarnadino "flesh-color," from Late Latin incarnatio (see incarnation). The verb properly would mean "to make flesh colored," but the modern meaning "make red," and the entire survival of the verb, is traceable to "Macbeth" II ii. (1605). Its direct root might be the noun incarnadine "blood-red; flesh-color," though this is not attested until 1620s.

Rebooting on the westside.
Well lets see...I'm a pretty even keeled guy, laid back, but knows how to let loose. I like to think of myself as a gentleman, I still open doors, offer my coat when you're cold, battle lions and tigers and such...all the things beat into me by my mother. I have always been the responsible one, always wanting to pull my own weight. I'm at a point in life where I am comfortable with where I am and what I'm doing, and now I would like someone to share that with. I was born and raised in Seattle. I still love it up there, all my family is there, but socal has become home. Even though I love the snow capped mountains and lush green everywhere, its hard to give up 300 days of sunshine. I find the dating scene here less than desirable at least as far as bars/clubs go. I usually prefer to meet through friends or chance encounters, so I figure I should give this a shot. I'm looking for a down to earth girl(isn't everyone?) sarcastic, driven, tomboy meets princess. Anything you'd like to know...ask. I don't usually bite.

Hey so just wanted to see others choices- if you have made a career or could working with horses, what would you do?! If you currently work with them in some way shape or form did you go to school for it? Apprenticeship? Or just stumbled into the job? Thought it would be interesting to see what you all would do!
