This is not directed to old mmos, current ones or even ones we know are coming. The idea is, if a game development company were reading this thread for ideas on something totally new, or at least something that needs total improvement, what advice would you give them?
I will chip in my own idea (not to say no one ever thought of it but me lol). But try to make the thread about your own wishes and not the merits of mine. *wink*
Personally, I would like my avatar to seem less like a clothes rack and feel more "alive." He or she should sustain wounds, be subject to illness, grow older over time, perhaps need a shave or a haircut, and so on. Items should have weight, as they used to, and weight should have an effect. The more activity I engage in, the stronger I should become, not simply as a +10 stat bonus from an item. Armor should look more weather beaten over time and with use. My character may sustain a permanent scar that has a story behind it.
I'm not wedded to one particular mechanic. But the overall effect I am looking for is an avatar that feels like a living person who needs care and benefits from it (or who suffers from neglect).
Anyway that's mine. What is yours?

Id like to see MMO's start to abandon pez-dispenser quest givers and linear quest paths. I know its a lot easier for developers to design around linear progression, Its just becoming extremely redundant no matter what the genre or storyline is.
I would also like to see developers go back to the MMO pioneering days when MMOs were thought of as being a role playing game on a grand scale in a world to be molded by a massive amount of players. Lets bring back player cities and player/guild run shops.
Aside from that, Id like to see more variety as far as game worlds go. How about a Planescape/Rifts type game? More sci-fi or a full blown steam punk mmo. Until developers start thinking outside of their box that they constantly feel they need to fall into because its making another game developer money, we're gonna keep bouncing from game to game to find out its just more of the same. Long live the MMO tourist!

I would like Physics to play a role in future games. I'd like things to have weight, momentum and so on. One of the ideas I was thinking of was the ability to lay in wait in a tree for ambush purposes. Once my inteded victim got under it I'd be able to jump out of the tree and land on them causing them obvious bodily harm.
I just want the option to use unorthodox ways to accomplish my goals... whatever they may be. This is one of the many things I'd like future games to have. I'll see if I wanna add more in future posts.
No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-

When you run out of content - what is there? You can trick players into doing that same thing over and over again, til you can drop more of it in, or you can set a basis of 'maintenance-type- gameplay that will keep players hooked and too invested to leave. Case in point; housing. Some people don't get it, but until you seen a game where literally *everything* you get in game can be stashed in plain sight, you will not know the ramifications of it. It hooks people, and makes them too afraid to walk after personal investment. It's mundanity at it's best.
Hell, I was even one of the guys that said the old SWG class setup was the best yet because it let you explore classes based on lifestyles in the universe long before you were really shoved into a single combat/social role. It was good for RPers, and it was good for dudes like me that are so into the setting that they would eat it with gravy. LotRO lets you grow pipeweed and people ate it up long before it actually *did* anything. Above all, it's the little things that count, and I think that environments with more interactivity would go a long way too. I respect runescape for this, because you can click on anything and get a response. It makes a full world feel fuller to be able to click a weather-rooster and make it spin, or a grate on the ground to script some glowing eyes. I personally love how things are active in the sky and ground in games like SWG and AO, it gets noticed and appreciated every time I see a driod scoot along the ground or a swarm of bugs fly off as I get close.
Also that you don't need huge text/VO dialog when an environment cann say a thousand words with props and texture swatches. Your told briefly to check out a house, upon entering you would find enough visual clues to figure out what to do, and where to go (bloodstains, toppled over knick-knacks). Even the history of an area doesn't need to be drawn on and is sometimes best left up to the imagination of the player. Like an inconspicous battlefield with no explaination, you might ponder it a bit longer if you didn't know it was a skirmish between the dwarves of ghu'thaak and elves of dir'bldroor. See how stupid that sounds? Best left to interpretation.

I do like the idea of your character aging/injured etc., as they 'level' or grow in experience. The same for the hair cuts/shaves and armor starting to look used, unless you take it and have it repairs (and not instantly brand-new!). That would give so much more of an immersive feel to the world. I don't RP alot but how great for them that would be.
The quests not being linear and no damn arrows pointing me in the direction! Or glowing marks above their head. I like the hint about going to house x and figuring out by clues what occurred. It feels less grindy. Clickable things that may give you a quest or add to your knowledge/experience.
I like the having to eat/drink that occurs in EQ2 - it would be great if there were berries or whatever you could gather and eat or farmers that sold you food (NPCs or player driven). Kill things and cook or your get weaker if you chose not to eat/drink.
Any MMO, I love to explore and not see the exact same wolf in every zone only in different shades of grey, brown or black, unless the zones are attached someway or the Lore supports the same species of X being in multiple places.
I'd love to do away with alot of the insta-travel. Yes it's convenient but this is suppose to be a 'world' and you don't see it zipping from point a to b to c. Boat or zeps or flying birds should take time. EQ2 portals 5 minute wait (or use to not sure how they work now), but missing that as it left, now they go everywhere which ruins the game a bit for me. Travel shouldn't be that easy. Getting a mount should be work and come with experience.
I use to enjoy WoW's hunter pet - go find them, you had to keep them fed to be happy. Train other skills off other animals, now it's just a yawn.
Customization! AoC had one of the best I've seen, but I'd still like to be able to to really play with colors/texture/facial features, body size/height on a character.
Clothing/armor look like clothing armor - not painted on or clowinish. Dye colors for all armor/cloth so if you want to look clownish or whatever you can.
NPC that don't regenerating in 20seconds. You burn down their camp they rebuild it.
Unfortunately most of this wouldn't appeal to the 'I want it now' crowd or those that believe the game starts at max level.

I don't want an avatar rather I want a character, one that has a personality and an identity, a history, a family maybe, whatever. I want my character to feel like a whole person.
I would like to have more involvement in my character. I know every time this is brought up someone always says "But RPGs are about blah blah blah" I don't think they are all about dice roles and automated stat calculations. I am not saying the game should be balls to the wall FPS action, just that I would like to have more of a hand in whether my character succeeds or not.
I would like to be able to customize my experience more, not just my character and clothing and house but be able to define some role for myself. The thing is this needs to be built into the game not just pretend, I could pretend I was a bounty hunter but it is not the same as actually having a mechanic that allows me to play as one.
I would like to see more fleshed out worlds. I would say I want to live the life I am not looking for a simulation of real life though and I do not want to do a bunch of trivial crap. Giving NPCs a history and purpose outside of handing out quests is a good start. I would like to be able to participate in different things in the world as well, like playing cards or something. I do not want it to be turned into a big grind that purposely wastes my time however, i.e. like crafting usually is.
I want an actual story. Having a series of quests which I will not bother to read is not good story telling, and if another person says players make their own story I am going to scream. An actual story that is driven by the player and where players can have a mostly unique narrative is what I seek. I am not sure how you have stories and multiplayer but SWTOR is trying it so we will see how that turns out.
All men think they're fascinating. In my case, it's justified
The number of these threads over the years points to two common "truths" about the MMORPG world - we do not know what we want and developers do not listen. We end up with a bunch of "ideas" which some like and some hate, so they do not appear and the developers go with the old standards while regurgitating the same old same old at us that we complain about but continue to play.
Some of us want endurance, fatigue, and more reality. Some complain that they do not want that. Some want more to do and some complain that is just fluff that distracts them from the endgame. We go around and around, but inevitably - the developers go with what they know.
So the "first truth" is a lie. We know what we want. There are just so many of us and we do not want the same things. There are more people that want the garbage that some of us complain about rather than the garbage we want that they complain about.
You can look at almost any thread on here and find people disagreeing on every little point about whether something is good or bad.
PvP. Good and bad. Housing. Good and bad. Instancing. Good and bad. Etc. Good and bad.
Face it, developers and game companies are in it for the money - whether it is for profit or for the money to keep things going, it comes down to that lowest common denominator. They often have to sell out on their dreams to make a fragment of the dream come true. It is kind of like politics, full of compromise.
That being said, sure, why not...here it goes again:
More realistic. Encumbrance, fatigue, crippling wounds, weather, environment, and all the rest. If player A is a scrawny mage type, they should not be lugging around the same amount of loot as player B who is all brawn and no brains. Even so, player B should not be able to swing their hefty two-handed axe around for several hours without wheezing a bit regardless of their conditioning. If it is hot, it should affect the characters. If it is cold, it should affect the characters. Player C wearing that shiny chainmail bikini is going to shiver while trying to fight up on top of Mount OMFGCold. Blood loss from wounds, blows to the head, and all the rest will affect how a character performs. Granted, these characters are heroes and will be capable of far more than your average keyboard jockey...but c'mon, just because we might have the endurance to sit at our keyboards for six hours does not mean our avatars have the endurance to keep fighting hard with no downtime for all that time.
Heck, I might as well stop there - because people will complain this will create too much downtime and make it take too long to level.
Course, I would say that is because most games do not really offer the content that MMORPGs should have. Not everything need be about endless pew pew. With actual crafting, a genuine player economy, non-combat quests, and the plethora of things that one could be doing to advance their characters in a non-linear fashion...
But still, this would not cater to the ADHD twitch crowd. It would kill them if I were to suggest realistic travel times, eh?
Because that would be part of it. Taking into account current travel speeds in most games, you have to figure that most game worlds are probably smaller than a decent sized shopping mall.
I would like a game with the "starting" areas where you have the grand NPC cities, etc. Yet these would be spread out across vast areas. Might they have faster modes of transfer between them? Perhaps, depending on what the current political climate is - for a hefty cost - not that often - etc. Then again, I would prefer the idea of following a caravan that takes days to get to the next city - perhaps stopping off at various NPC/PC villages between. Yes, the vast majority of cities, towns, etc. would be player owned and operated. They would not be permanent, mind you. They would be subject to attacks from other players and even NPCs. Cities would rank up, having better guards, etc, being able to deal with increased threats. Guilds could form alliances, nations, nation alliances, etc.
What is that? Sounds like FFA PvP? People hate that. Nah, not going to happen.
I guess I really should stop there, eh?
For most of us, it would probably be easier to pick features from various games we have played that we liked, we think would be great if changed, or we hated and never want to see again.
Even here, most people will just laugh and say we need to adapt. Since most of the features folks will point out will be from defunct games or dying games. The thing here is, the game did not die because of those features we liked - there were usually other problems. So give it a thought, eh?
In the end though, it is pretty obvious that the money is coming from the twitchy console kiddies as they come of age with disposable income... take a look at Champions Online. I mean, if anybody was the least bit familiar with the Hero System, Champions, etc... and then look at the finished game - WTF? How? People have talked about all the various IPs they would like to see as a MMORPG, but face it - stop it, cause you know some company will just ruin it.
Most folks probably just need to stick to PnP, possibly get on Vent or the like, find some online dice roller app everybody can see, and call it quits...
...cause the games are only going to get worse for those of us that want more, while for those happy with meaningless grind - well, the games will hold their attention for a few months as they bounce between subs.

A virtual world without instances, little hand holding, lots of options, a focus on social interaction and player interdependency and enough innovations so that I don't feel like I've already played the game a million times the first time I log in (WAR, WoW, AoC, LotRO).
Back when MMOs were innovative, each new MMO had a bit of a learning curve because they all played differently. It was exciting. Now I get bored within 5 minutes of trying a BRAND NEW GAME.
Also, PvP as the primary end game. Raids and such will be included but won't be important, so they can be done for fun to take a break from PvP instead of becoming a chore.
Hell, just give me DAoC 2.

If you are looking for a PVE game, one that ends in PVP....then I trust you are subscribed to DF.
I would take a re-image of EQ1 as it stood back in 06 when I left. I mean the whole game, just toning things down(focus on solo/small grps, no crazy camp times/med time/etc). Raids also would be no more than 10 or 15 folks....with 5 to about 8 being preferable.
I would also keep zones, as I liked how each had its own feel to it. I would also hope they help out a competing site, and put allakhazam out of business. Hated going there for info, knowing it was owned by a gold seller.
Asking Devs to make AAA sandbox titles is like trying to get fine dining on a McDonalds dollar menu budget.
When stating that PVE games dominated subs, that ignores that most of those PVE games offer PVP in some form - either heavy or light. Yes, they have their carebear populations...but they are not exclusively carebear games.

I like lots of the suggestions here -
but do count me as one of the niche - porvided it is done right (3 relatively equal sides with tangible benefits to the winning side) the RvR endgame is, in my opinion, the only endgame that doesn't require constant expansions and updates by the developers to develop new and unique challenges for those at max level.
For example: DAOC, Planetside.
Star Wars could be built around a huge massive RvR endgame. But that's apparently not gonna happen with SWTOR, or any other upcoming MMO that I am aware of.

Any moron, that utilizes the word "carebear", is the epitome of being "ones own worst enemy". Farming noobs, in a feeble attempt to bolster their e-peen....all the while reducing the longevity of the title they are playing.
Friggen rocket scientists I tell ya.
I hope they dont put their shoulders out of socket by patting themselves on the back. All the while chanting "we sure showed those carebear noobs". Darkfall's 10k subs owes you 1337 individuals a thank you.

It has nothing to do with thinking one is elite or the like. Carebears are carebears, they cry, they whine, they want everything to be easy mode, they want everything handed to them, etc. They want all the reward for no risk. It goes beyond the simple to PvP or not to PvP - the term applies so well to so many.
You have a lot of angst going for you there - antagonistic to the reality of the situation. You like to extrapolate on most of your arguments, slipping in fraudulent statements as if they were fact.
I mean, look at your post there - a person that uses the term "carebear" is a moron that likes to farm noobs while trying to bolster their e-peen. Look at everything you have attributed to a person using that term.
As for the primary focus of the game, the standard focus of games these days is an endless repetitive grind for tiered gear with no actual character advancement. In some games, this takes place on a PvP side as well. By removing FFA PvP, you remove any actual challenge to the game - and - would find more challenge in playing Bejeweled.
Are there means to prevent the tools from ganking the noobs? Various games have done starting areas and the like. They had other issues though, and thus they have gone under. PvE will never offer the challenge that PvP does - and if you are fine with less challenging, well, you fit in well with the casual sheep out there that generate those sub numbers you are so fond of...
...Combat on the Atari 2600 was more fun playing against a person than playing against the AI. PnP RPGs with a DM/GM were more fun than a computer/console RPG against an AI. PvP > PvE... simple fact.

You should play them the way you like to play them. This however does not mean everyone like this style of gaming.
Anyhow what I would like to see? I am simply waiting for MMO 2.0! Where we the users create the content and not the publisher. Ryzom definitly made a decent start into this.

For me it has to be a compelling story. Also if they could put in a few puzzles (lucasarts/film adventure game style) for some quests. Also an awesome world to be in.

It is kind of interesting that you mention Ryzzom, since they released Ryzom Core which includes the code for client, server, and tools. If one had the inclination and time, one could work toward what they like from there. Could see doing one of those miniMMO things with it for a few friends and the like...

This for the most part. More virtual world type options for entertainment. More "professions" that answer the question how/why there are this much variety in types of goods or buildings, etc. Less but more important quests. No levels, just a ton of skills (at least 50% non-combat) to choose from.
Let the skill be adventure hooks that prompt the imagination to create the character be they combat or non-combat oriented.

Great small town feel. Winter weather, but city was well maintained. Tons of quaint restaurants, shops and tourist sites. But still have access to the more notable big box stores when needed. Close to skiing, Lowell Observatory, NAU and other fun winter activities! Visitors should plan to unplug and enjoy the outdoors when visiting this awesome city.

INEZ, Ky. - The Belfry Middle School defense came out in full force Tuesday night, steering the Pirates in the right direction, in their 42-8 state playoff win against the Martin County Cardinals.
After holding the Cardinal offense on their first possession, the BMS special teams came up with a big blocked punt, giving the Pirate offense great field position for their first offensive drive. The Pirate offense wasted no time hitting the end zone as quarterback Cameron Catron hooked up with tight end Cole Bentley for 16-yard TD pass.
After another Pirate defensive stop, Belfry took over on downs. That led to yet another TD as Catron connected with Devin Varney for a for a 30-yard score. The 2-point conversion by Andrew Fletcher made it 14-0.
The Cardinals took to the air in their next offensive drive and Catron came up with an interception and returned it 46 yards to pay-dirt. The score stood at 20-0 at the half.
Following a failed onside kick attempt by the Cardinals, the Pirates wasted no time scoring again. After a 40- yard run by Varney, Austin Hall blasted into the end zone from eight yards out. After Fletchers 2-point conversion, the Pirates upped their lead to 28-0. The Pirates special teams once again showed their dominance by causing a fumble on the ensuing kickoff and recovered the pigskin to have great field position again. The Martin County defense couldn't keep the Pirates out of the end zone. Varney scored once again from four yards out to finish a 5-play, 42-yard drive. Austin Woolum kicked the extra point and increased the score to 35-0.
To the cap off the game for Belfry Middle School, Ray Horton bulldozed his way from to the end zone from 16 yards out on the only offensive play for the Pirates in the 4th quarter. The Pirates led 42-0.
The Cardinals scored late in the final quarter with a TD and 2-point conversion for Defensive leaders for BMS were Horton with seven tackles, Bentley and Josh Thacker had six each, while Fletcher and Catron had five each. The Pirates will be back in action Saturday night as they take on Greenup County on the road at 6:00 p.m. as they continue their quest for a state title.

Origin: Nilgiri, India
Leaf Type: Single Estate Black Tea
Taste: Delicate, smooth and full of flavour
Drink: With or without milk
Brew: 3-5 minutes according to taste
When to drink: Afternoon
This deliciously smooth tea from Southern India has an irresistibly fresh and clean taste, making it perfect for drinking in the afternoon.
Nilgiri refers to the area the tea is grown in, amongst the Nilgiri or Blue Mountains in the south of India. Kala Moti describes the leaves of this very special tea, and literally translates as black pearls, hinting at its exotic, precious quality. Grown at an altitude of over 2,000 metres, 6,500 feet, the leaves produce a soft, delicate tea that is full of flavour.
Instantly refreshing, Nilgiri Kala Moti is a great thirst-quenching tea that makes you want to drink cup after cup.

Free delivery over £40
In stock
Origin: Nilgiri, India
100% Black Tea
Packed in an environment where nuts are handled
Brew a Perfect Cup
Ideally warm the pot first with a splash of hot water. Use one teaspoon (around 2g) per cup and always use freshly drawn and boiled water. Allow to brew for 3-5 minutes according to taste. Can be drunk with or without milk.
This is, in my opinion, the best tea there is. Wonderful complex flavor--adding milk or sugar would be a desecration! (though it's probably pretty good that way, too . . . .)
Delicious light smoky flavor. Perfect for an afternoon tea.

Designing your own custom t-shirt with our T-Shirt Designer is as easy as 1-2-3. Choose from over 150 products to print on and search through our ever-growing Marketplace of over half a million designs to make your items exactly the way you want them. Create t-shirts, custom hoodies, hats, jackets, accessories—we've got it all. Follow these simple steps to create your own customized clothing collection:
To make your own clothing, click on the "Choose Product" tab on the left of the T-Shirt Designer toolbar. In the box below, you will find our entire product range. You can then browse through the wide variety of customized t-shirts, custom tank tops, hoodies and accessories like the new custom iPhone 5 cases. All of our products are customizable.
Clicking the "Select Category" drop down will help you narrow the field by gender, accessories and new products. Clicking the "Size" and "Color" drop downs help you further narrow the field. Color can also be chosen by clicking on your preferred color box in the bottom right-hand corner of the T-Shirt Designer.
To design your own gear, click on the "Choose Design" tab in the T-Shirt Designer toolbar. In the box below, you will find a search field to search for specific designs, a drop down to filter by category and a 5X5 grid with thumbnails of our more popular designs. The tools at the bottom of the box allow you to scroll between the 'previous' and 'next' page of designs.
Click on a design and it will appear centered on your product. If you want the design somewhere other than the front of your chosen product, use the product image boxes on the right side of the T-Shirt Designer to toggle between the front, the back and the sleeves (if applicable) of your product. *We cannot print on ALL areas of ALL products, so only printable areas are shown.
Note: designs and images, once applied to your product, can be adjusted using the buttons in each of the four corners of the image box. The north, south, east, west arrow button moves your images up, down, left and right within the allotted printing area. The circular arrow button rotates your images on a 360 degree axis. The diagonal arrows increase or decrease the size/area your image covers within the allotted printing area. The garbage can button removes the image from your product.
To make your own T with personalized text, click on the "Add Text" tab in the T-Shirt Designer toolbar. The text tool box will appear in the upper right-hand corner of the T-Shirt Designer. It works like most word processors. You can choose from 29 fonts in the font drop down. You can BOLD or italicize your text using the respective bold and italicize buttons to the right of the font drop down.
Underneath is the font size drop down. Here you can change how largely your text is displayed. Below the font size drop down are the left, center and right align toggles. In the vertical toolbar to the right, you can change your text's color, center your text horizontally, place your text in the middle of your product and flip your text vertically and horizontally.
*note: the vertical toolbar functions work with the designs, as well.

Are you following me yet? If not, there are plenty of options - pick your poison and stay up to date with all the fun... from me to you!
'Tis a sad day. My candy corn wreath - my crème de la crème - had to be destroyed. There was a certain amount of attention paid to it by the honey bees in the area, which wasn't a problem. (Let's do our part to save the honey bees!) However, in recent days, a new admirer has come to visit: Polistes dominula - the European Paper Wasp. These little buggers decided to burrow and nest in the back of the wreath... and I'm allergic, so the wreath had to go. It was getting dangerous to enter and exit through the front door! C'est la vie.
Yesterday, however, was an awesome day... until I was finished and could hardly move. It was worth it, though. Whoever says that cooking isn't a sport obviously hasn't spent 4 hours on their feet in the kitchen! My arms hurt from stirring and the rest of me hurt from standing. Four dozen later, I was able to sit and relax... even took a long, hot bath.
We were not only Booed back, but also Ghosted on the same day! That put the pressure on - even though we started the tradition in the neighborhood, we were obligated (and pleased) to continue the tradition when it came back to us. That meant 4 treats and 4 neighbors to bless. I had one pumpkin recipe left...
So, here's the recipe for the dough(nuts), straight from PJ Hamel, a test baker at King Arthur Flour (here).
Pumpkin Doughnuts with Cinnamon Glaze
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 2 standard doughnut pans. If you don't have doughnut pans and don't want to buy any (I did - I'm so excited to have them!), you can use a standard muffin tin. For more instructions on that, please visit the link above.
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups pumpkin purée
- 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 3/4 cups + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
For the cinnamon glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp whole milk (or whatever milk you have on hand)
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon (or more, to taste)
Now, I didn't get a chance to taste the two together, because they were destined for others... and I had just enough pumpkin to make the 4 dozen I needed... but I did taste the dough and glaze separately. I can only imagine the heaven those 2 were together. Hopefully the kids of the families we gave them to will brag to our kids about how good they were, so we know!
Or... you could make them, then come back and tell me how good they are! I have another can of pumpkin, but I'm not sure I want to get back in the kitchen so soon after yesterday.

Two years ago, Ashe Assisted Living and Memory Care opened its doors to usher in a new patient for the first time. Now, Ashe Assisted Living plans on hosting an open house to celebrate their two years of service to the community on Friday, April 26.
Everyone is welcome to attend the open house, although, special invitations were sent to local doctors and healthcare facilities, as well as representatives from county and town government, along with other organizations.
Ashe Assisted Living plans to have music, entertainment, door prizes, refreshments and tours of the facility during the open house.
Executive Director Bevin South, along with resident care staff, administration, residents and their families will be on-hand for the event.
"We provide excellent care and services to residents and their families on a daily basis, which include assistance with personal care, medication management, transportation to physician visits, housekeeping, laundry and much more," said South. "We always take a person-centered approach in the care we provide, as well as the activities we offer."
According to South, the memory care program has grown in the past two years of operations. Also, Ashe Assisted Living has partnered with Generations Child and Adult Day Cares in developing an inter-generational program that benefits both children and the elderly.
Currently, Ashe Assisted Living is the only facility in Ashe County equipped with a memory care unit for seniors with Alzheimer's and dementia.
Ashe Assisted Living currently serves 49 residents (28 assisted living and 21 memory care), and are at capacity with 55 beds. In all, Ashe Assisted living has approximately 40 staff members.
According to South, resident care staff members are required to receive 20 hours of dementia training within the first six months of employment, to ensure they provide the highest quality of care.

The issue is less of the expressions of grievance and more of the way in which those expressions are treated politically. The excess of the left is to say that the simple expression of grievance makes the political treatment a foregone conclusion. But this is to be cashed out as the despotic exercise of political power by fiat. Whereas I am inclined to agree, Freddie, that the purpose of democracy is to "take time" turning the wheels of politics, instead of shortcutting by automatically granting goods, services, rights, whatever to whomever voices a demand for them. Probably it should mean something significant that me and Conor and you and Andrew and plenty of other people with wildly diverging takes on, say, the marriage issue all conclude that the best or proper way to politically treat the grievances expressed is through the actual practice of democratic politics — and at the state level, too, right?
James is, presumably, talking about the complaint that the courts short-circuit the democratic process. This is a classic argument about Roe: not just that it reached the wrong decision (though most arguing this believe that) or that it was poorly argued (ditto), but that it was anti-democratic, because it legalized abortion nationwide without using the democratic process. That's a very popular point of view, even among some who are pro-choice, but it's wrong, and crucially wrong: the use of the courts to resolve disputes is a part of our democratic process
How did we arrive at a system where individuals and groups could challenge the state to have certain rights recognized, or to be enfranchised into preexisting categories of rights? It was created during our constitutional conventions, where the progenitors of the American system determined how our civic governance was going to run. In other words, it is a function of democratic process, and thus the outcome of court proceedings are themselves the products of democratic process. True, the process which created our constitution was of limited democratic value. But if we want to start questioning that process, we might as well tear the whole damn thing down. Meanwhile, we live in a country with a democratically produced system to adjudicate claims for equal rights, which refers to democratically produced state and federal documents which enumerate such rights.
Consider the gay men and women in Massachusetts who sued for the right to marry, based on the claim that they were being denied equal rights enshrined in the state constitution. The complaint immediately rang (often from places nowhere near Massachusetts, natch) that this was an undemocratic change of the law, because the voters or legislature didn't vote on it. Hogwash! The system of grievance-resolution-through-judiciary is a part of our democratic system, and one very few people want to do away with. The Massachusetts state constitution, meanwhile, is a document produced, ratified and amended according to democratic procedures. The decision was the process of a group of judges, sure. The fact that they had the authority to decide this complaint was the product of democracy.
Now let's consider Roe v. Wade. Again, a standard complaint is that the ruling was not the product of democratic process. In this instance too, though, we've got a document in our constitution that was democratically designed, ratified and amended, and the Supreme Court ruled that the constitution has an implied right to privacy which protects the right to an abortion. Now, you can argue that was a terribly decided case, and many have. But it's not "undemocratic". It's the product of a system created by democratic process. We don't have the ability to reformulate every procedure of democracy whenever a controversial issue comes up, so we use the processes we already have, even if they sometimes leave us with decisions we don't like.
Note, also, that's it's not like there's no recourse for those who are opposed to abortion. There's another democratic process that they could attempt to use to get rid of Roe: they could amend the constitution. Yet that's not on the table, and why? Because proponents of such an amendment know that criminalizing abortion isn't possible, politically, in this country, and likely won't be anytime soon. Outlawing abortion just isn't a popular enough position. That means it's like many other policy preferences that don't enjoy enough support to be codified into law. That's democracy. In a more radical vein, you could do away with the court system as a way of refereeing disputes entirely, but there are many reasons why we disconnected the judiciary from direct influence by the people in the first place.
People can and should still argue against decisions they dislike, of course, but I think that saying that court decisions are undemocratic is really just pretense, a way to lend a special sense of illegitimacy to court decisions you don't agree with.

If you own a Puma knife, you may have noticed a tiny hole or impression on the blade. This is the "Rockwell point". Puma checks all of its folding and fixed blade knives for their Rockwell hardness according to the system Rockwell C. You can ensure your knife has undergone this test by looking at the blade – there should be a "RC" imprinted on the blade near the knife's number.
The Rockwell C test is conducted by taking a diamond cone and pressing it into a blade under a fixed amount of force followed by an increased amount of force. The diamond's penetration depth after these two forces are applied is measure and the resulting measure is the hardness rating of the steel. A good steel blade should rate somewhere between HRC 50 and 65. This procedure is used on all sorts of metals types.

text: Cult Nails Let's Get Dirty Nail Lacquer ($12.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a "wax finish taupe." It's a mauve-ish taupe with a very faint shimmer that is barely visible if the polish is applied on its own, and then the shimmer is more noticeable if a top coat is applied. It has a waxy or rubbery finish–mostly matte but not a chalky, flat matte. Chanel Frenzy is browner and a cream, so it doesn't have the wax finish. Barielle Belly Dance is very similar if Let's Get Dirty has a top coat layered over it.


text: Illamasqua Speckle Nail Varnish ($16.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a "speckled lilac." It has a soft, pale lilac cream base with flecks of small black glitter and larger hexagon-shaped black glitter. I don't know of any dupes in particular for this shade (Deborah Lippmann also has speckled polish but nothing in lilac). If you have a top coat with black glitter already, you might try using Essie Bangle Jangle, MAC Little Girl Type, Nubar Purple Aster, or Zoya Marley has a base color, as they are similar.

Protect your brain and run for your life. This is one race where your legs giving out are the least of your problems. Run For Your Lives is a first-of-its-kind event, one part 5K, one part obstacle course, one part escaping the clutches of zombies — and all parts awesome.
- Before the race, you will be given a flag belt, just like the overly intimidating game of flag football. These flags represent your health.
- The zombies want to take your flags and maybe eat your brains.
- If you lose all your health flags, you die. And the zombies win.
- Health bonuses will be hidden throughout the course. If you find one and carry it to the finish, it will save your life.
- Throughout the 5K obstacle race, there will be a series of man-made and natural obstacles for you to complete. Runners may choose NOT to complete an obstacle, BUT any runner who skips an obstacle will not be eligible for prizes.
- There will be zombies. Their job is to chase you and eat you — but mainly go after your health, in the form of your flag belt. Avoid the zombies to keep your health flags.
- Use speed, strategy and your intact brains to make it to the FINISH LINE "alive" with at least ONE FLAG INTACT (or a health bonus pack). If you finish with zero health flags, this means the zombies have successfully transformed you into the "undead"; your time will be recorded, but you will not be eligible for awards.

Runners will navigate a series of challenging obstacles throughout a 5K course in an attempt to reach the finish line — all while avoiding zombies. At the end of this adventure race, you get to celebrate survival (or zombie transformation) with live entertainment and music, local celebrities, vendors, food, and of course, beer!
Basic Survival
What You're Up Against
How You'll Do It
There will be a start line, and a finish line, but what happens in between is up to you. There are multiple routes to reach the finish. Choose wisely, or your 5k might turn into a 10k.

After four years of gradual decreases in the number of building permits issued, Ashe County has already had more building permits issued in 2012 than in 2011.
According to Jeff Cornett from the building inspection office, a total of 69 building permits for new, single-family houses were issued in 2011. The 2012 total already surpasses that with 74 permits issued, and that figure isn't counting the permits that will be issued in November and December.
"This is definitely a sign things are picking back up," said Cornett. He also said the number of building permits issued has a "significant" relationship to the strength of the economy.
According to Cornett, this area is usually the last to be impacted after a recession, but also the last to bounce back. In Charlotte, building permits began decreasing in late 2006, a sign of things to come; but Ashe County didn't see the sting of the 2006 recession until 2008, the first year of a four-year stretch of a decrease in building permits issued.
During that four-year stretch from 2008 through 2011, the totals of permits issued have gradually decreased every year until the rebound in 2012. The highest amount of permits issued per year in recent history was 2007's total of 367 permits for new, single-family homes.
Also, Cornett said signs indicate this growth will continue in 2013.
"Contractors have been giving more estimates and receiving more phone calls, and more building permits have been issued in larger markets like Charlotte," said Cornett. He also said the market in Charlotte has seen improvements for the last few years, another indicator more building permits will be issued for Ashe County moving forward.
In addition to an increase in building permits issued for single family houses, commercial building permits have also increased.

The Aiken City Council Chamber was packed with residents who were waiting to hear if an undeveloped portion of the Green Boundary Club was going to be sold to the City.
Council unanimously approved the resolution to purchase approximately 3 acres of land at the corner of Whiskey Road and Mead Avenue, which has been used frequently for event parking for Hopelands Gardens and the Rye Patch.
The City has agreed to pay $236,687 out of Capital Project Sales Tax II funds designated for greenways and open space. The land was appraised at $260,000.
The City has had a lease with the Club since 1999 to use that tract of land for parking purposes. City Manager Richard Pearce said the land would remain undeveloped – it would not be paved or turned into a parking lot.
In the agreement approved by Council, the Club will reserve the right to continue using that tract of land as long as it doesn't conflict with City or community use as well as use the existing roadway from the Clubhouse to Mead Avenue.
"This is an opportunity to preserve an essential part of Aiken's historic downtown environment," said Green Boundary Board of Governors member Cody Anderson. "I think it's a win-win for the Green Boundary Club and the community."
Green Boundary Club Member Pat Paterniti, who's also a member of the City's Board of Zoning Appeals, said he encouraged Council to approve the motion but is concerned with what will happen to the rest of the property years later. He suggested that the City add a stipulation that the remaining 6 acres remain intact and not divided for development.
Another resident stepped up to the podium to agree with Paterniti, stating it will help maintain the Club's integrity.
Council members said that such a stipulation has not been discussed between the City and the Club so it would not be addressed at the meeting.
Pat Blewett, vice president of the Green Boundary Club, confirmed the sale was to raise capital for the Club but that it's nobody's intention to "carve" the remainder of the land up in the future and sell plots for such things as the construction of a home.
Jack Wetzel, president of the Green Boundary Club, said the proposal for the land that was in question on Monday is to simply use it in the future exactly in the same manner that in has been used in the past.
Councilman Philip Merry suggested to obtain an easement, rather than buy the land, so the City can maintain the open space and it would still belong to the membership.
Pearce pointed out that the Capital Project Sales Tax item on the ballot approved by residents stated that the funds be used for acquisition and not an easement. The vote on Monday was final – the resolution does not require a second reading.
The Green Boundary Club, located on Whiskey Road, was established as a "supper club" in 1956 by Seymour H. Knox Sr. and a few of his friends. The house itself was constructed in 1927 and designed by Willis Irvin.

(original recipe by Kalyn, 2-3 servings)
3-4 fresh tomatoes, sliced 1/2 inch thick
2-3 boiled eggs, sliced 1/2 inch thick
(here's How to Make Perfect Boiled Eggs)
1/4 cup black olives (or more)
salt, fresh ground black pepper to taste
(I used rosemary salt from Eatwell Farms)
Vinaigrette Ingredients:
2 T extra virgin olive oil
1 T best quality balsamic vinegar
1 T crumbled gorgonzola
Slice tomatoes in 1/2 inch slices, and arrange on serving place (with cut side up on ends of tomatoes). Slice boiled eggs and layer on top of tomatoes. Arrange olives on top of tomatoes and eggs.
This salad would make a perfect summer lunch for the South Beach Diet, any phase. If you wanted to serve it as a side dish, it would taste great with Hamburger Kebabs (retro spelling of kabob), Sauteed Scallops with Garlic, Grilled Spicy Tuna, or Chicken and Veggie Kabobs with Garlic and Basil.

UHTV-22 has been moved to UHTV-2.1 as part of a recent upgrade. You can find the new channel lineup below.

Cable Repairs
If you are having problems with your cable service, submit a Maintenance Request to University Housing Facilities Management.
How to set up your TV in University Housing
University Housing provides high-quality, digital TV service to all housing residents. Only TVs with a digital QAM tuner will be able to view the digital lineup. Most, but not all, TVs that were made after 2006 have a QAM tuner built in. Most QAM tuner TVs have a "Channel Search" or "Auto Program" function that will automatically scan the incoming signals and detect the ones that are available. It may be necessary to do a channel search before your TV will allow you to tune to a specific channel. Complete the following steps:
Visit this link for additional information and examples of TV models with the QAM tuner, if needed.
Problems with UHTV-2.1
If you experience a problem with UHTV-2.1, please try troubleshooting the problem to see if you can fix before you submit a Maintenance Request with your concern.
• Make sure your cable wires are of good quality and hooked squarely and tight against the wall and on the television.
• Unhook video game players before watching UHTV-2.1.
• Run your television through your VCR, which has its own tuner.
• Try unhooking your TV from your VCR to see if that makes a difference in your picture.
• Purchase a "ghost buster" from an electrical supply store. This will shield your cable coupling more completely.
• If you are only receiving up to channel 13, please check your programming and make sure your television is set to "cable" and not "antenna".
• Outlets are meant for one television. If you are using a splitter and experiencing fuzzy channels, try unhooking your splitter and attach the cable from the wall directly into your television.
After troubleshooting, if you are still having problems with UHTV-2.1, please submit a Maintenance Request via www.siue.edu/housing. Give complete information, including your name, location, phone number, and availability for repairs to be made.

So when the boss first asked me about doing this report it sounded simple enough. But after 4 days of hammering on it I've come to the conclusion that my initial assessment may have been (dead) wrong. I'm going to try to be both detailed and succinct ... So please bear with me if this gets a bit long.
One of our internal billing systems contains historical information (Client, serial#, date, pages printed, etc.) about printers that are under contract. Circumstances being what they are (IT Happens), occasionally there are devices that don't get their counts collected. Now usually this gets caught up at a later date ... but some times certain devices slide long enough to start raising eyebrows as to their existence and condition. Which brings "us" to the report in question.
I'm trying to create a SQL query (for a MySQL db) that will list all the devices for client X that:
1. Does not recently/currently have a billable count (Total Pages Printed = 0).
2. Shows the date of the last billable count (or the first zero count date in a contiguous historical block between then and now).
Sound simple enough? Hopefully it is for some one here ... 'cause I'm getting my ass kicked by this thing. The relevant table structure and usage is as follows:
Index - auto incremented (int).
SerialNo - of the device (string).
ModelName - of the device (string).
ClientID - Internal identified of customer (string).
TimeStamp - a.k.a. billing date / all devices for a given customer/date will have an identical time stamp (timestamp).
TotalPP - Total Pages Printed this will reflect the number of pages printed by that device for that billing cycle (int).
I've got close to 9 pages of failed queries and notes on what doesn't work. Nested selects tend to make the server race and die (neat trick with dual Xeons), so I've been concentrating on various self-join variations. But nothing is giving me a resultant data set that isn't either wrong or total garbage.
So I'm hoping to find a more informed opinion on how to approach this.
Thank you,
Slightly frazzled but still vaguely Stoic Joker

The Sordid Details @ The Hop Pole, Bromsgrove - 18th March 2012
There once was a young band playing gigs around the Midlands and making a name for themselves. Sadly I never saw them back then, but thankfully they've reformed for a short Re-Onion Tour. On 18th March they played a storming gig at The Hop Pole, playing as The Sordid Details and Stereogram, along with special guests Ash and Dave.
