"Server returned error: Unspecified server refusal (see verbose server output)"
From Brandonhutchinson.com
A cfengine client was unable to copy files from a policyhost that it had admit/grant rights to. Public key authentication worked, so to determine the problem, I ran cfagent in verbose mode on the client.
cfengine:client: Server returned error: Unspecified server refusal (see verbose server output)
To determine the cause of the error, I ran cfservd in debug level 2 and saw the following error:
# /var/cfengine ...FuzzyItemIn(LIST,10.226.18.58) No root privileges granted WildMatch(client.navitiare.com,*.navitaire.com) WildMatch(*.navitaire.com,jqosdsawb802.navitiare.com) WildMatch(10.226.18.58,*.navitaire.com) WildMatch(*.navitaire.com,10.226.18.58) FuzzyItemIn(LIST,10.226.18.58) Try FuzzySetMatch(*.navitaire.com,10.226.18.58) cfservd: Host client.navitiare.com denied access to /var/cfengine/masterfiles/inputs
The cfengine client should be using the domain navitaire.com, not navitiare.com. The DNS PTR record for 188.8.131.52.in-addr.arpa was correct in our DNS, so where was the domain typo coming from?
It turns out that the client had an incorrect domain name in its /etc/hosts file.
10.226.18.58 client.navitiare.com client
Correcting the domain in the cfengine client's /etc/hosts file (to match the correct domain in the admit/grant rules) fixed the problem.

How to buy movie tickets with Siri on your iPhone and iPad
As of iOS 6, Siri has been able to help you find movie theaters and showtimes. With the iOS 6.1 update Siri can also help you purchase tickets to the movie of your choice with help from the Fandango app. All you have to do is have Fandango installed and then ask Siri to find tickets.
If you aren't sure how, follow along...
First, you must install the Fandango app on your iPhone or iPad in order for Siri to help you buy movie tickets. It's available for free in the App Store.
- Fandango - Free - Download Now
- Press and hold the Home button on your iPhone or iPad to activate Siri.
- Ask her something like "Find showtimes for Zero Dark Thirty." She will then pull up a list of showtimes.
- Siri may find the movie playing at multiple theaters with different showtimes. Simply tap on the theater that you'd like to go to.
- From here tap on the showing time you'd like to go to.
- Now tap on Buy Tickets.
- The Fandango app will now launch and you'll be able to complete your purchase through there.
- That's it. Your tickets will be purchased and you can either print them out or pick them up at the theater.

How to buy movie tickets with Siri on your iPhone and iPad
I'll wait for the non Fandango solution. I absolutely abhor the company. It's about time that theater chains like AMC, Regal and more take ticket purchasing in house.
I'm not sure how this is really any easier than current. Cooler maybe, but easier?
Using Siri to change playlists while I'm lifting and my phone is in my pocket, sure. But some of this stuff has come out, looked cool but not really cut down on the time, effort or swipes required to do something. It still requires you to click the show, click Buy and then go into the Fandango app anyway. This is AFTER Siri pauses to understand what you just said.
I think this is some of the indication of what's trending lately. Its like developers have thought us content to fiddle with a device more and more instead of giving us truly more efficient ways to do things. I mean how hard would it be to have a default payment method setup in Fandango/iTunes/Passport, have Siri ask you to buy tickets and seal the deal verbally OR buy via one click?
I see such huge areas to truly innovate and leverage this platform into something amazing. But instead, we get half-baked things like this.. :/
Sorry Allyson, didn't mean to hijack your timely, detailed and concise instructions! I guess I clicked on this article hoping Apple had given us something super simple. But after reading your directions realized it wasn't what I had hoped.

Pounds: A very good yearWritten by Tom Pounds | President / Publisher | firstname.lastname@example.com
There are a great many ways to measure a year: personal relationships, professional success, community impact. By any of those standards, we have a lot to be thankful for as we look back on 2012.
2012 saw Toledo Free Press receive its fourth consecutive honor as best weekly newspaper in Ohio from the Ohio Society of Professional Journalists. But the thing we are perhaps most proud of is the increasing number of philanthropic projects we have been able to sponsor.
Some of these events are original and just beginning what should be very long legacies. To name just a few, there is the "Holiday Wishes" series of local music CDs benefiting Make-A-Wish. There is the explosive growth of Restaurant Week Toledo, our partnership with Leadership Toledo. We are humbled to be the media partner for the summer Round Up Hunger campaign for Feed Lucas County Children and the American Red Cross Ready U series. We enjoyed a tremendous night for the Red Cross with our Titanic re-creation dinner and dance on the 100th anniversary of the ship's April 14 sinking.
We were also pleased to assist the first Ghoulwill Ball for Goodwill Industries, Ken Leslie's 1Matters and Tent City and the latest Cattle Baron's Ball for the American Cancer Society.
We have been pleased to work with Toledo's LGBT community for the Toledo Pride Festival and parade, and to have served three years as media sponsor for the Holiday with Heart Charity Gayla. We also sponsored the Jennifer Rockwood-directed play "8" at the University of Toledo, which centered around marriage equality.
On the business scene, we saw another successful year as a media sponsor for the Better Business Bureau Torch Awards and the Entrepreneurial & Business Excellence Hall of Fame.
On the arts side, we helped with such projects as Grugelfest, the PechaKucha series, 2445 events at the Toledo Museum of Art, the Sur-Saint Clair exhibit of the works of Robert Heindel and the upcoming New Year's Eve concert by the Johnny Knorr Orchestra. We also had one of the best nights of the year at the Schedel Gardens gala.
There were many others, each of which we were proud to be associated with, including Multiple Sclerosis Society (Leadership Class), Junior Achievement, the Owens Community College Foundation (Backpack to the Future and the Alumni Golf Outing) and the ProMedica Advocacy Fund.
At this year's Holiday with Heart event, Toledo Free Press Editor in Chief Michael S. Miller commented that our partnership with the Gayla was not about Toledo Free Press accepting the gay community; it was about the gay community accepting Toledo Free Press. That sentiment carries through each and every one of our partnerships. Our philanthropic efforts are never about our choosing a cause; they are about the honor of these causes choosing us.
Toledo Free Press looks forward to another full slate of events and philanthropy in 2013.
Thomas F. Pounds is president and publisher of Toledo Free Press and Toledo Free Press Star. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

To purchase a handgun from a private individual, the buyer must obtain a license to purchase from any local police or sheriff department. The buyer must be 18 ears of age, a U.S. citizen, a resident of Michigan, have no felony conviction, have never been adjudged insane (unless later restored by court order). If an individual purchases a pistol from a Federal Firearms Dealer, a License to Purchase is not required. However, a pistol sales record must be completed and the seller's FFL number must be recorded on that form.
The license to purchase must be filled out in triplicate at the time of purchase. The license shall include a description of the handgun sold and the signatures of both the buyer and seller. The seller may retain one copy and the buyer retains a copy, and the last copy is reserved for the Michigan State Police. After purchase and delivery of the handgun is completed, the buyer must return the license to a local licensing (law enforcement) authority within 30 days.
One copy of the license will be held by the local authority for six years and the remaining copy shall be forwarded to the State Police. The license, once issued, becomes void if not used within 30 days. A valid Michigan CPL holder is exempt from license to purchase requirement, however is still subject to the registration requirements and a criminal background (NICS) check.
Private property accidents that occurred within the city limits of Richmond are only available at the Richmond Police Department.

The GefenToolBox High Definition 1080p Scaler allows you to scale one HDMI input to one HDMI output with up to 1080p Full HD and Deep Color. This unit can vastly improve the quality of the image by outputting the video to the native resolution of the display, bypassing the display's internal scaler. Video can be manually scaled up and down in all resolutions up to 1080p Full HD. This product can also be used to downscale, making it ideal for distributing a Hi-Def signal to multiple displays that do not support the same maximum resolutions in an HDMI distribution system, while still showing maximum resolution on the higher-definition displays. It can also be used for DVI signals with appropriate adapters. The GefenToolBox High Definition 1080p Scaler is conveniently wall-mountable so it can be easily installed behind the display. This Scaler offers RS-232 control and is field-upgradeable.
Use the included HDMI cable to connect the source to the High Definition 1080p Scaler. Connect the display to the Scaler using an HDMI cable. Connect an optical and / or coax audio cable from the source to the Scaler. Another set of optical and / or coax audio cables can be connected to an A/V receiver or amplifier. Connect the 5V DC locking power supply to the Scaler and connect the power cord to an available electrical outlet. Select the audio input by using the On-Screen Display with the front panel buttons or the included IR remote control. HDMI Features Supported:
Note: This GefenToolBox High Definition 1080p Scaler is also available in black (please see the Related Products link in the sidebar to the left).

I think there also may be a problem with www.atheist.org.
The technical team behind the project confirmed it was a DoS attack. We had processes in place to manage the influx, including the temporary suspension of submissions when the email queue grew too large. We are working to get the site back online as soon as we can.
I don't know what email type you have but if you disable relay on the exchange server and send only from its own or specific IP addresses it might help. You could get your MX and A-records changed with you ISP – messy but could work quickly enough. Maybe first change your admin a/c passwords and the same on your firewalls. If you want to post any tech info on it I can take a look at it.
if you think you may be able to help Reg The Fronkey Farmer, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com
You're running Apache on Linux, hopefully Debian or CentOS. The IP responds to pings. (Is it coming in on HTTP only?) It's likely a brute force SYN flood. There's a module for Apache called mod_evasive that may help. Google it. Make sure you get the latest version of mod-evasive for whatever Apache version you're running.
Most DDOS attacks come from 6000 agents or less. Keep blocking IPs and they'll run out of zombies sooner or later. If you block more than 50,000 or so and it's still coming at you, you may be dealing with a super botnet. If so, you're screwed and need to use an ISP that specializes in DDOS resistance.

Jennifer Loved the scenery (so beautiful) and loved what the dogs did. They probably are very fit and agile. No collars on. Certainly different than our DVD's setup. Of course they are for Gundogs!

Right now you can just "pre-order" them. Not sure when they are actually ready. I'll try and find out. You can order them from the Dog and Country web site, which I'll find the link for. The price is 99 British Pounds which I think is about $159 for the set.
Here's the link for ordering: http://www.dogandcountry.tv/list.php?mid=252

Officials must take sides
Push has now come to shove. It's time that our elected officials declare which side they belong to. Are they honorable Constitutionalists who will obey their oath or opportunists who buy the naive voter. Ninety percent of the incumbents are returned to office year after year.
John Adams, our second president, said, "There are two ways to defeat any nation. The first is by the sword and the second is by debt." Our current outlaw Congress and usurper-in-charge are using both simultaneously to finish off our once great Republic. It's the old political games. Republicans blame the Democrats and vice versa while both destroy our lives and take more of our money. As a nation, we cannot spend ourselves out of debt. Our nation has been shoved off the fiscal cliff and it's just a matter of time before we see hyper-inflation.
The powers-to-be intend to impose total gun control on us by hook or crook so we can not resist federal control. The right to own a gun is a God-given right that is guaranteed in the 2nd Amendment.
My question to our elected officials: Will you obey your oath or be compliant in carrying out unconstitutional mandates.
It's time to get on one side or the other.

Wise Words from Williams
Let me start my column by wishing everyone a happy, safe and prosperous new year.
Many of us have hopes, dreams and aspirations that we are expecting to come to pass in 2013.
Nobody can guarantee you anything in life. But when we know what we want, really believe we are able to achieve it, then with the help of God and a willingness to do the work it takes and face the challenges that come, we can achieve our goals. At the least we have a much better chance of realizing our goals than if all we do is just hope with our hands folded.
In the description above lies the key to success in achieving what you want during 2013. Lets enumerate the parts more clearly.
First we have to know what we want. Some people dont know what they really want. They have an interest in many things but they are not sufficiently sold on any one thing.
The next part of my description is that you must believe that you are able to achieve it. If we dont believe we can then that unbelief becomes a limiter to our achieving that thing.
The old adage is true, If you think you can you can. If you think you cant you cant.
Believe you can so that you do not get discouraged when you face the first sign of struggle.
The next thing you need to do is be willing to pay the price, do the work that is necessary. I say with the help of God because for me there is no real success without Him.
Secondly, no matter what I have to go through He will be there to see me through. He is not what we call a fair-weather friend. But it doesnt mean we sit back and do nothing. Nothing is free.
Sometimes what we think is free ends up costing us the most. Nothing comes free in life. There is a cost somewhere down the road. It is much better to negotiate your price upfront, know what you are getting into and pay the price.
The next part of my description says you must be willing to face the challenges that will come your way. Life is not easy for anyone. You dont pursue a dream or try to achieve a goal and everyone and everything step aside for you so you can achieve that goal.
Life is not like that. You will face obstacles. You will have challenges. At times you might even grow weary and be tempted to quit.
But you hold on. You continue. You do not give up. You do not allow the challenges to get the better of you. You press forward.
By the time this column gets in your hand the New Year by be already here, but it will still be early enough for you to pursue those elusive dreams or goals and make them a reality.
God bless you during 2013.

Heck some of the PKM trunnion vs the AKM trunnion would also be appreciated. From all the pictures I have seen the PKM bolt looks a little wider. Thank you in advance and have a great day.

Surry Community College's Introduction to Business students, taught by Dawn Worley, recently donated 74 boxes of cartoon character Band-Aids to the Brenner Children's Hospital, Child Life Department.
The gift was inspired by a lesson on social responsibility and the role businesses can play. Worley emphasized to her class that social responsibility in business begins with the efforts of individuals.
The students were inspired and decided to support a local organization and voted to connect with Brenner Children's Hospital.
Cindy Mahan, Child Life Specialist and Manager of the Child Life Department at Brenner's, provided a list of items that were in short supply.
The students chose to donate character Band-Aids because they would provide immediate benefit for the patients and the cartoon characters would bring a smile. The Band-Aids were delivered to the hospital on March 18, 2013.
The class received a thank-you note on behalf of the patients confirming that "everyone is so excited to get them. They make such a difference for our children."
Mahan explained that the Brenner's Child Life Department provides services to the inpatient units, the Emergency Department and the Operating Room. The department has several special programs such as Pet Therapy, Beads of Courage, as well as special events like holiday celebrations, birthday celebrations, Hematology and Oncology Prom and more.
As defined by the Child Life Council, "Child life specialists are experts in child development, who promote effective coping through play, preparation, education, and self-expression activities. They provide emotional support for families, and encourage optimum development of children facing a broad range of challenging experiences, particularly those related to health care and hospitalization."
The Council added "understanding that a child's well being depends on the support of the family, child life specialists provide information, support and guidance to parents, siblings, and other family members. They also play a vital role in educating caregivers, administrators, and the general public about the needs of children under stress."

I'm sooooooooo excited Spring is almost here!
March begins tomorrow and everyone knows March comes in like a lion, but leaves like a lamb. And you know what that means! Skirts! Shorts! Dresses! Strappy heels! Peep-toe pumps! The epic return to half of my wardrobe!!!
I have missed my clothes so much! Is it just me, or does it get totally tiresome wearing the same looks week after week?
But it's not just the return to fabulous fashions that I'm excited about. I'm ready to hang around outside again! Play soccer! Pick wildflowers! Make wishes on dandelions! Just to run and breathe in the sweet scented air will be so refreshing!
I'm getting jazzed just thinking about it!
What part of Spring are YOU most excited for??

SOUNDBASE.580 Overview
Closeout Special! Save $220, While Supplies Last!
The ZVOX SoundBase 580 is a complete surround sound system - including dual powered subwoofers - all in one cabinet. Just place the 580 on a piece of furniture, place your flat-panel TV on top of the ZVOX system, connect one wire...you've installed a high-performance home theater system in under 10 minutes.
The sound quality of the ZVOX 580 is comparable to that of much more expensive multi-speaker systems. It includes five high-performance speakers and dual 6.5" powered subwoofers for window-rattling bass. The ZVOX PhaseCue II virtual surround sound system creates three-dimensional sound without the need for multiple speakers throughout the room. Movies come to life with vibrant, realistic, high-impact sound. Music sounds accurate and natural. And vocals on TV shows come through with incredible clarity.
The 580 uses a highly advanced processor to digitally tailor the sound for excellent frequency response. The result is a very smooth, very accurate sound. This SoundBase system doesn't sound like a "sound bar," it sounds like an audiophile quality speaker system.
- Improved Sound
- Green Design
- Super-Clear Vocals
- "Commercial Taming" Technology
- Multiple Inputs Including Front-Panel iPod®/Portable Plug
- Works With Your Remote
More Details for the Detail-Minded
Great Sound. The most important feature for any home theater system is high quality sound. The 580 uses a new amplifier design with extremely accurate frequency response and a warm, natural sound and surprisingly powerful bass. It uses dual 6.5" powered subwoofers in a spacious cabinet (equal in interior volume to a 14" x 14" x 14" subwoofer box). The result is accurate, window-rattling bass down to 34Hz. No other all-in-one home theater system even comes close.
PhaseCue® II Virtual Surround Sound. The 580 uses ZVOX's proprietary PhaseCue II virtual surround processing to give you rich, three-dimensional sound with movies or music. With music, PhaseCue II creates a very wide soundstage - it literally sounds like you are listening to speakers eight feet apart from each other. When listening to a good movie, the soundtrack will envelop you - putting you in the middle of the action. While no virtual surround system - including ours - will give you the surround effects of a good 5.1 system, the ZVOX 580 does a remarkable job. Sound & Vision magazine calls our PhaseCue system "remarkably ingenious."
Green Design. The 580 uses a highly-efficient Class D digital amplifier. Even playing at quite loud volumes, it usually uses less than 10 watts of total power. And standby power usage tends to hover around 0.1 watts - making it one of the "greenest" audio systems ever made.
Setting A New Standard For Vocal Clarity. ZVOX systems are known for their remarkable vocal clarity. The 580 adds a stunning new feature: Dialog Emphasis (DE). When you push the "DE" button on the remote control you engage a circuit that mimics the functions of a hearing aid. The frequencies used by human voices are emphasized and compressed, while other frequencies are minimized. We don't know of any other speaker system that provides such an easy-to-use and effective method for improving the intelligibility of television dialog.
Uses Your Remote Control. The new SoundBase system can be programmed to respond to your remote control. The illuminated display walks you through a less-than-a-minute programming cycle. Then your TV remote...or cable box remote...or satellite receiver remote...or ANY remote...can control volume, mute, and power functions of the ZVOX system.
Taming Commercials That Are Too Loud. If you've ever been blasted out of your chair by a too-loud commercial - or by a cable channel that's twice as loud as another channel - you'll love the new Output Leveling (OL) feature on the ZVOX 580. Just push the OL button and a sophisticated compression processor takes over, making soft sounds louder and loud sounds softer, so there are fewer jarring moments when switching channels or when commercials come on. This system also helps by boosting the audio levels from a DVD or Blu Ray player that is not loud enough.
Disappearing Display. The 580 features a four-digit display located behind the speaker grille that shows the current setting for volume, bass, treble and PhaseCue II® (virtual surround) - and also shows when you have engaged the Mute, Output Leveling (OL) or Dialog Emphasis (DE) features. A few seconds after you stop using your remote (or front panel) controls, the display disappears completely.
Multiple Inputs, front-panel connection for iPod® and other devices, Dolby Digital decoder. The 580 has two analog audio inputs, one optical (Toslink) digital input, one coaxial digital input - plus a front panel 3.5mm analog stereo input for convenient connection of your iPod or other portable audio device. Any specific input can be selected using either the remote control or the slim-line module below the speaker grille. The two digital inputs work with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder, which can improve virtual surround performance and allow for simplified connections to a wide variety of TVs, cable boxes and disc players.
Wood (MDF) Cabinet With Hand-Lacquered Side Panels. The 580 features a hand-built cabinet of MDF (medium density fiberboard) with beautiful hand-lacquered high-gloss end panels. Its low-profile design blends perfectly with flat-panel TVs. Most people don't even notice the ZVOX 580...until they hear it.
Technical Details
- Dimensions: 36"W x 16.5"D x 5"H
- Weight: 34.5 pounds. With box and packing: 39 pounds.
- Amplifier: The 580 uses a high-efficiency 120 watt Class D digital amplifier.
- Rear inputs: (2) analog stereo inputs, (1) digital (Toslink) optical input, (1) coaxial digital input.
- Front input: (1) 3.5mm stereo front panel input.
- Frequency range: 34 Hz – 20 kHz.
- Virtual surround sound: The 580 uses ZVOX's proprietary PhaseCue II virtual surround sound processing. PhaseCue II, as its name implies, manipulates the phase of the separate channels to "fool the ear" into believing that sound is coming from a variety of sources throughout the room. The benefits of PhaseCue II vary greatly based on program material. Live music and well-recorded modern movie soundtracks will deliver rich, three-dimensional sound - pulling the sound out from the speakers and into the room, literally surrounding the listener. Note: All virtual surround systems- including the PhaseCue II system - are limited in their effects when compared to a good 5.1 system. And sitcoms, news broadcasts and soundtracks from older movies often have very little in the way of three-dimensional sound. That being said, PhaseCue II is capable of generating a wonderful and engaging virtual surround experience.
- The 580 is bi-amplified, using a specially designed amplifier that includes electronic contouring for superb frequency response.
- The 580 uses dual 6.5" subwoofers with a high-mass long-throw design in a ported enclosure.
- The 580's five 3.25" main speaker drivers use a long-throw design to create remarkably wide range, accurate sound.
- Unlike most systems in its category, the 580 uses an MDF (medium density fiberboard) wood cabinet - instead of molded plastic. MDF is the preferred construction material for high-performance speaker systems.
- A 2-meter RCA-RCA analog stereo connecting cord is included.
- Works only with 110-120 volt power systems.
- The ZVOX 580 is backed by a one year limited parts and labor warranty.
What's In The Box?
- One stereo RCA to stereo RCA connecting cable
- If purchased directly from us, we will include a digital optical cable
- One remote control with power on/off, volume up/down, mute, PhaseCue II (three level settings), bass up/down and treble up/down, input selection, Output Leveling (OL), Dialog Emphasis (DE).
- Power cord
- One-sheet safety instructions and operations manual, fast setup sheet and remote control programming instruction sheet.

Reviewer: A viewer from Tucson, AZ
Enjoying my ZVOX!
I found ZVOX after visiting Costco where I saw a Bose system that allowed one to place their TV on the sound bar rather than placing the sound bar in front of the TV. I loved this idea because my entertainment center would not allow placement of a typical sound bar...
I have two systems from Bose and frankly I'm not very happy with either one (all highs and lows, must be Bose). So I Googled "pedestal sound bars" and found a review on cnet. With the guarantee I decided to give it a try. And boy am I glad I did! VERY happy with the dialogue from movies that was difficult for me to hear before. The set-up was easy too. Even though my home is pre-wired for surround sound, I just didn't want to hassle with putting a system together...
I'm more than satisfied with my new ZVOX set-up and have already recommended it to others.

It's Compact
The Z-Base 580 is only 36" wide by 16.5" deep by 5" high. Everything is inside this compact cabinet - speakers, amplifier, virtual surround circuitry and powered subwoofer.
Simple Installation
The 580 requires only one connecting cord -- you can use either analog or digital connection options. Connect the one cord and you're done. You can place the 580 directly beneath most 37" - 72" flat panel TVs*, or on a shelf beneath the TV. (* TV base should not exceed 35" in width or 15.5" in depth. TV should not exceed 165 pounds in weight. Safety instructions in Z-Base 580 Operating Instructions and in TV's Operating Instructions should be closely examined and followed.)
Simple To Use
In about one minute you can follow a simple routine that will "teach" the ZVOX 580 to respond to the commands of your TV or cable/satellite remote control. So you can adjust control volume, mute, input and power with your remote, not ours. When you've finished the routine, turning on your TV will automatically turn on the ZVOX system. About three minutes after you turn off your TV, the ZVOX system will automatically go into standby mode.
Virtual Surround Sound
The 580 uses ZVOX's proprietary PhaseCue II virtual surround processing to give you rich, three-dimensional sound with movies or music. With music, PhaseCue II creates a very wide soundstage - it literally sounds like you are listening to speakers eight feet apart from each other. When listening to a good movie, the soundtrack will envelope you - putting you in the middle of the action. While no virtual surround system - including ours - will give you the surround effects of a good 5.1 system, the ZVOX 580 does a remarkable job. Sound & Vision magazine calls our PhaseCue system "remarkably ingenious."
No Skimping On Speaker Quality
Most audio systems in our price category use very cheap speakers in plastic cabinets. But at ZVOX we're "old school" about things like this. We use nothing but high quality speaker drivers, carefully designed by ZVOX engineers and manufactured to our specification. The 580 uses specially treated long-excursion main drivers. The cabinet is MDF (medium density fiberboard), the same material uses in most high-end loudspeakers.

USDA Revises Testing and Certification Requirements for the National Brucellosis Program
These changes are necessary to refocus resources to control and prevent the spread of brucellosis and to protect and maintain the economic viability of the domestic livestock industry. The interim rule is the first step in updating the brucellosis program, and is consistent with the proposed changes set out in a concept paper USDA published in October 2009. USDA considered the 361 comments received on the concept paper during the 90-day comment period, and incorporated state, industry and public input when creating the interim rule. As USDA continues to move forward with finalizing new regulations for the brucellosis program, we will continue to engage stakeholders and other interested parties for input.
Comments are posted on the Regulations.gov website and may also be reviewed at USDA, Room 1141, South Building, 14th St. and Independence Ave., S.W., Washington, D.C., between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

This game looks interesting, and I plan to give it a try and see how well it plays.

TESO has a major issue in that it is coming out as a full fledged themepark MMO in an era when high profile MMOs with sandbox features will be hitting the market or being revealed. They are basically copying themepark features in previous games and using Elder Scrolls lore to glue it together. If we were talking a smaller budget game, it could prove profitable as a f2p. However, a $300 million game which is most likely p2p?

I think TESO will be popular for its persistent 3-faction PvP in Cyrodiil. The question is how really persistent will be and how much the devs will listen to the crybabies whining about it.

anyone that expects any new theme park mmo to be fun more than 2-3 months at a time is just setting themselves up for disappointment.
if longevity is the criteria of which theme park games are judged by, then i would say that every new theme park game is destined to fail these days, no matter what it is.

Having a homeland where players from other factions cannot get in is more like the single player games than not. They've taken the single player experience and added additional players in the same area who are pretty much doing the same things. Having players from other factions would deviate from the single player game experience.
Do players want something that is more like or more different than the single player experience? If players want something more like the single player experience, then locking the homelands is more like the single player experience.

I am not an armchair game dveloper like OP so i won't say that they are out of touch. However, if TESO turned out to be bad game i don't think it would be because they didn't copy Skyrim to its very core. Which by the way can never be turned into a successful sandbox because the part of its real charm comes from the fact that it is a single player game.

What makes a game a huge success is the right dynamics at the right time, directed at the right audience. Couple that with a high level of polish, and you have a much better chance of success.

EDIT IN: I know it takes a lot of money to actually make an MMO. What I'm saying is how much of that investment is important to the development of the project (ex. full voice acting in SWTOR was a nice touch but was it worth it's cost?).
I don't feel there is a right trick at a right time to be successful. Anyone funding a MMO is taking on a huge amount of risk from the start - and from the previous AAA releases we've seen people don't want what developers/producers/investors think they do.

Out of all mmo's this is the one that should have open world pvp and it's doesn't appear to be that way. I thought Guild Wars was going to be great and it was for a while. The pvp system just lacked that feel of " Am I going to get raped while leveling today?" or "I'm bored, let's go gank some people". I guess I just want a true open world pvp game where you have some sort of an actual loss from dying. I really liked Vangaurds system that they had in before that ship sunk. Here's to hoping there massive pvp zone will be fun enough to keep playing in unlike guild wars. Maybe there is hope for me, I heard the new Everquest is going to be a sandbox like game so let's hope they don't duck that one up.

I would tend to agree with this.
TES improved once the one of the creatives was recruited from the Runequest pen and paper game and so such a start would make more sense with this style of content. Joining factions, guilds and cults was a key part of the game.
Any "locks" should be due to cultural reasons for someone people simply will not trusted in certain areas unless they can proved themselves, join factions and/or justify their exceptional treatment.
Also ideally the game would should remember you, rather than just the quest characters. CO's habit of making random PCs thank you for saving the world in the tutorial really goes a long way in making you feel part of the setting.
I can take or leave PVP but good gameplay is always valued.

I dunno OP, I have several friends that I have gotten to know on steam that haven't played MMOs before but who are hooked on Skyrim and had no idea ESO was a thing until I told them and now they are planning on giving it a try when it comes out.
I also like the idea of the megaserver because invariably there will be people I've met in other games and lost touch with that I might run into on the game forums or in game and will now be able to group with because of the megaserver - whereas in isolated servers they or I would have to reroll on a new server to be able to team with each other.
So I have to give Matt Firor some credit for what he's doing - he does seem to listen to the player base and learns from his mistakes *cough* Trials of Atlantis *cough*.. I'm also guessing megaservers will address the issue of server underpopulation which prevented so many people from being able to complete their trials because their server didn't have enough people to throw at it.
What actually worries me about this game is the PvP dev - Brian Wheeler - wasn't he the guy responsible for the failparade that Warhammer PvP turned out to be? I just hope he gets kept on a tight leash.

I don't think I've ever played a game before where incentives were set up to avoid actual fights and just farm PvP NPCs and objectives. I think WoW and DAOC had more polished PvP. Heck, I'm actually enjoying the side of PvP I get in Rift right now just because it isn't bug ridden like WAR was.
The only positive thing about WAR for me was that it was big on the concept of public quests which I thought were awesome for impromptu groupings and getting to know people.

Triforce of Wisdom: "Orderly ways do not make one brave, and neatness does not a kingdom save."
I'd like to make a comment about immersion. We have many here that want to have a reason to think that there is no reason the two styles can't blend. Well I know one person already said that Skyrim came off as boring and that person felt alone with stupid NPCs. Consider that in an online version of this game we get to experience the fun of seeing people with names like "HeWhoBakesCookies" or "CaptainDunkem" running within our well developed fantasy world.
There are no alternate servers to have an RP server option. So your blended right in there with "BobJazzHandsFranks" wielding his glass ax with lightning enchant or "ToxicMittens" and her dual fire swords. Games like ES are heavily about immersion because it is you alone in that world and so it becomes a personal world. Where a well thought out name like "Taeris Wevizell" can be whatever he/she feels they should be or have their name mean whatever lore you want it to. In an online game if there is no separation you can be standing right next to any number of people who don't give one iota about anything other than wracking up kills with a name like "NanaPuddinFlower" or "GoatFinger" who took way too much time considering the best way to grief someone today.
Personally I could give a crap I saw the vid and know it's not for me. If it goes F2P I can't say I won't wander around for thirty to forty minutes looking at the scenery while listening to music and avoiding hot spots of murderous foam mouthed weekend warriors bent on blood and carnage of anything not them or their ilk. That's my two cents about the game.
I still think it would have been just as easy for Bethesda to develop a co-op aspect onto Skyrim. Which I would be just as willing to pay forty or fifty bucks for such DLC. Which I would also easily pitch to my friends to get as well. You want your MMO with ES lore you go right ahead. I'm stuck with the ten foot pole people I'll be using that pole to keep pushing it away if it floats towards me.
Oh, and also someone talked about there are limitations to what is possible with MMOs. Yeah tell that to the people who made Mortal Online. Aside from it being ruled by rude asses or ran by a rich boy or whatever. You can't deny it was pretty darn close to an online Elder Scrolls game. Not perfect I give that, but still pretty freakin close. It is possible in every way. It like anything else is dependent on the money, time, and passion invested in it. It is possible but not by a group of people wanting to sell you Nike brand on Skecher made shoes.
No I really have no opinion about either shoe brand's actual quality. To anyone wanting to tell me or anyone else to grow up about a heated opinion about a game not even out yet. It's no different than you seeing a person coughing and sputtering as they walk into the kitchen where your food is being made. He's probably just the dish washer, but it doesn't help clear the idea you shape in your head of a juicy cheese burger coming out with a mucus gob where your mustard should be. You pointing out my immature attitude with a strong opinion does you no good other than show your lack of maturity by being petty over an opinion. (Like I talked about your mother or something and you have to defend her.)
Please note there are no exclamation marks used. In no way have I written this in anger. It is all based on opinion. If my spelling or grammar sucks then take the time and correct it for me and repost it. Otherwise ignore the minor faults and read what I wrote not how well I wrote it.
In truth and honesty I hope you all have wonderful days or nights wherever you might reside and be safe. Consideration I have even for my enemies.
"Love can be innocent and can be sweet, but sometimes about as nice as rotting meat."
I think part of your problems will be fixed by the whole Megaserver thing. You fill out a questionair. You specify you want to play with other role players, possibly even select an age range, say you want to play with certain friends. Or say you want to mainly solo the game. It's going to place you with other like minded folks. So if you want to RP, you are probably not going to be in the same phase as Whatabout Bob.
Whether you play the game or not and honestly what your opinion is of Elder Scrolls Online doesn't affect my decision to buy the game. Just like my disagreeing with you doesn't change what you think about the game. To each his own.

It's a common complaint among gamers that MMOs get old very quickly without frequent and -meaningful- updates. In today's Devil's Advocate, we take a look at that notion and offer a few thoughts. Read on!

I think your on the right path here, I for one feel like game mechanics wise, I've been there and done that, its just the same cookie cutter mechanics with different skins. Outside the box poses a threat to devs though in the form of risk. It's not a matter of reinventing the wheel, its more a matter of making the best better.

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 blame the media. Not A lot of movies, shows, or music comming out that has a fresh feel. It was only a matter of time tell it happend with games. We probably wont see any super huge cult like gamming followers tell Virtual Reality comes out. There are some titles out that will pass the time thou.
Great collum. It's true, while i feel sandboxes last lober, even they need updates and new stuff to do and experience.
Going from the DayZ example, which i agree with, i'll also use Planetside 2. Never played the first one but i think it's creating so much positiev feedback because it's a very different experience from your standart mmo.
Let's hope for more variety in mmo mechanics in the future.

Part of the problem is that devs keep missing the concept of player created content. This doesn't have to mean giving players the ability to sculpt a mission/dungeon...as mentioned that becomes limited by what options exist in the editor. Instead, you need an interactive system with depth and 'sims' elements to it.
Just as an example, lets say you have a PC armorsmith...well advanced in skill and wealth who owns his own shop in a town...this could create:
Player sponsored resource gathering missions - basically a bounty/standing order for freelance miners to bring him ore/metals/materials
Delivery missions - pick up XX piece of armor and deliver it to person/place who ordered it
Guards for the shop, or any other missions
Thieving/sabotage missions by or against competing shops, random attacks by NPC thieves/bandits
Survey/mining expeditions - maybe the smith sends a caravan/team out to establish a permanent mine to supply him...
The teams hauling ore back from the mine become a magnet for bandits/monsters and require guards
Successful bandits grow and become camps and a bigger problem, turning into targets for bounty missions etc
Moving on from that, maybe the business fails and the mine becomes occupied by goblins or bandits, thus becoming a 'dungeon' for other players
...and so on...EVE comes closest to allowing this sort of thing, but even they haven't really gone far enough or included enough sim elements
You be better off looking to books than movies for ideas, unless you want a stupid batman mmo, I could see stealing ideas from the hunger games though, I did not watch the movies, but was inspired to read the books more so from media hype about the movie. If you think about predicaments like katniss was in, and now put gamers into predicaments and make them work thier way out. Make it massive though, don't make it one story for one person, make it affect everyone. Inspire and drive people to want to do whatever it is your trying to make them do. You want them to go hide in ten man raid groups? That's not massive.

I disagree with the OP. He is with the "I want something new" crowd that try every game and then quit and complain that it is just like all the others. The OP even admits to game hopping!
There are finite number of things that can be done in an MMO rpg because, bottom line, all MMO rpg are stories i.e. literature. It is said that there are only 36 possible plots in literature. So too with an MMO rpg.
I admire those game companies that try to be different CCP and ANet being two of them. Yet everyone points to WOW as being filled with boring quests and "same" content. I say bull feces. Have you ever been to Outland in WOW. Now there is something completely different. Rocks floating in the sky, magic oozing from the ground, an edge that you can fall off. It took guts for Blizzard to tear up the world in Cata. I have never heard of a game destroying and rebuilding content on such a scale. Look at the WOW environment - a mixture of science-fiction and fantasy with a little humor and horror thrown in. The only reason that the quests are boring is that you (or at least I) have been doing them for 7 years. Yet this "boring" game held my interest for all that time.
Like too many Americans (sorry to generalize here - and I am an American) if something is NEW it is cool. Sure Tera combat was different, RIFT rifts were neat and GW2 has a whole bunch of things that are not WOW-like. But, are they really different? You are still pressing buttons in Tera and GW2 just faster and in a different order.
I would have more respect for the OP and similar posters if they gave me some examples of how to be different. QQ for the sake of "sameness" is more boring than any of the things that they complain about. Tell me how you go beyond the 36 plots and you would have a sympathetic ear.
And you sir are ? Oh let me answer that one, you have great expectations and are not siezing the day, nor is anyone here talking about the future, or beta testing.
Any chance we can change these forums too? Let's turn these forums into less of a preview and complain to more of an I've got and idea and let's construct forum.

I don't have a ton of time to respond since i need to head into work, but i will put in this 2 cents.
I personally think a huge problem is that a large majority (80% or better) of the *new* MMO population (which i define as anyone who came to the genre post WOW release), due primarily to WOW, play MMORPG's like they play single player games. I.E. They play solo, they "burn" through the content so to speak, paying particular attention to the "story", and then they look for their next game.
I've gone into this rant before, but what attracted most of us "old schoolers" to the genre were things like having an open, living/breathing world (or as much of one was possible due to tech) to go explore and make your way in. Having a character which started out as nothing which you made into someone/something (rather than current MMO's where you pretty much start out as captain mcbadass, saving entire towns from hordes of goblins and such with your magical sword of kickassery +1). And, also, the actual MULTIPLAYER aspect of it. I.e. the fact that grouping was heavily promoted by game mechanics as the key to better and/or faster rewards. Which consituted more socialization, getting to know people on the server, and the resulting real community which evolved from that.
All of that is gone because modern gamers in the genre are basically console gamers looking for their next "fix".

Perfect example about how you should NEVER listen to someone that lived over 100 years ago when it comes to literature...there was no Pizza delivery and thus no possible plot for "Pizza man delivers Pizza, scores with horny babe" to be written during his time...and this has been a plot for sooo many modern prons.

When you break it down, there are only so many possible plots in literature, in storytelling in general--regardless of the media or form it is presented in. To use your example, "Pizza man delivers Pizza, scores with horny babe," is the same as the very standard and common "Hero must complete a task to gain the love/admiration/lovely, lovely lady lumps of his respectful gal." So to recap, tordurbar was talking about storytelling at it's most basic concept, which is what we know how to express. There is only so many variations of the same basic thing.

The one main point I agree entirely with is that MMOs need to implement some way to allow player-made content to flourish in their games.
The first game that comes to mind in terms of player-made content are mods in the Elder Scrolls game series. Anyone that has seriously modded any one of them knows that the life expectancy for an Elder Scrolls game is in the decades. Literally.
If these Game companies seriously want us to be paying a monthly fee for their game, on top of the box price even nowadays, then the absolute easiest and probably most successful way to do this would be to give us the ability to implement our own content. Our own quests. Our own dungeons/mazes/puzzles/stories. This prolongs the life of a game at least ten-fold. Which means they rake in the subscription fees.
Why none of them have realized this by now is far beyond me.

Good article on the whole. Don't ever confuse Darkfall with a good sandbox design.
I think Sandboxes usually have far more things to do, than a themepark, mainly because your character is not shoehorned into a specific skillset.

A pizza delivery person...is not a hero. A pron starting out with a knock on the door and said delivery man already there is not a person completing a task as the task was already completed by the start of the story "he is already there", and said horny babe was already wanting the pizza man and thus there is a lack of his needing to "gain" the unrespectful gal.
40,000 motifs. 40,000. "magic object alters characters life" does not fall into Polti's basic concepts.
This is the educational trap, you think you are intelligent but then someone points out you are using knowledge that no longer applies...didnt even apply when he made the list, the list was based off of GREEK texts and classical works which did not consist of any modern ideas.

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share that i am pregnant, 25 weeks already! I am doing well thus far, good BP, no protein leakage, no swelling. Doppler scans show my placenta is healthy, the blood flow very good.Baby is weighing 800 grams (about 1.8 pounds), have good amount of amniotic fluid and baby kicks me kung fu style regularly
I have been holding my breath for most of this pregnancy, not wanting to be too excited, trying to hide my bump until my 20 week scan, waiting for each milestone. week 23 was hard, because that is when i lost my first baby girl, i was very emotional..had some good cries. I am at times emotional because in some twisted way my brain seems to be expecting her at the end of this journey. and i know this is not fair to my growing baby . which we love so so much, and are bonding with as well. with every kick actually! we have been good to each other, mama and baby boy forging forward to the finish line. I have had an easier pregnancy, no heartburn except for maybe 2 times, no aches or pains, no sleepless nights, breathlessness etc...so far.
I am very happy with my progress up to this point, hoping to reach 28 weeks with no issues. and then slowly make it to 38 weeks, when i am expected to have an elective c-section. This time the doctor has discussed the option of fetal lung maturation just in case of pre-term delivery. I am on the fence about this...part of me of course wants to do anything that could help my baby thrive, but I also am leaning towards giving myself some time before going for steroid shots, perhaps waiting until 30-31 weeks, instead of doing it at 29 weeks. If there is no sign of danger at the 28 week appointment I think I may choose to wait 2 weeks and have a follow up visit.Anyone have experience with fetal lung maturation when not in immediate risk of delivery?
best wishes to all the mamas-to-be on the board, and may we all have healthy babies. That has been my mantra, healthy placenta, healthy baby, full term pregnancy...then I added, healthy mama to it
