I have for a long time been irritated by a number of commonly accepted norms in sieging which actively create zergs and deter from tactical and strategic play.
1. The Destructibility of Objects
Here's a challenge - take a REAL great axe, give it to the powerlifting world champion and then get him to attack a barbican castle gate with it. You know what happens?
The axe blunts and or breaks and he acheives precisely nothing.
The idea that weapons (arrows, axes, swords etc.) or flash in the pan spells - withering necromantic attacks, splashes of flame or lighting strokes can seriously do any real damage to a proper fortress gate, never mind the walls - is crap.
The fact is - only tremendous and repeated impact or the kind of explosions which produce a shattering shockwave even touch fortifications.
Sieges would be so much better if you HAD to build siege weapons, or struggle up ladders or siege towers to beat enemy fortifications. Not just zerg the entrance for 5 minutes watching a health bar creep down from fifty people on auto-attack.
2. I Am Legion - the Zerg At Work
The reason the Roman Empire kicked the hell out of many times their numbers of barbarians in most battles was because the barbarians used zerg tactics.
Zerg tactics in the real world get you dead against organised opposition.
In the original dev chats about Age of Conan they talked about a system where formations of NPC troops could be assembled and 'soft capture' boxes placed within them where PC's could stand - where unless they made an active movement, they would then automatically follow the troop formations moves - which a PC commander controlled of course.
They dropped the idea and gave in to the ease of zerg mechanics.
Such a shame considering thay MMO has great combat and full impact...
This should be looked at again by someone - adventurous dungeon skirmishing etc is fine for what it is - but the battlefield should be the province of armies aka Total War - not the hordes of 'chaos'.
I zccept however that having larger armies and plots of PC's on screen is a technology problem at the moment - but the time will come...
3. Artillery
Artillery is usually far too weak. Anyone getting hit by a balista bolt should die. Anyone getting crushed by a catapult or trebuchet shot should die. heavy damage, aoe knockdown and stun should hit those around exploding shot.
Artillery should be difficult to aim with a ranked skill for artillerists to increase accuracy based on training and practice.
Fire rate should be reasonably slow, but no targetting reticle or other warning should be given to targets.
You ran in front of the loaded and primed scorpion or didn't look up when it started raining capault shot - tough!
4. Battlements
Battlements should give proper cover, increase the range of attacks fired from them and not block LOS of defenders.
Pretty basic stuff - but the number of games where hardly anyone goes on the walls and just wait for a breach to occur to face the zerg is shocking.
5. Open Gates
How many times have you had to defend a fortification whose NPC don't shut the gate, and there is no facility to shut it yourself?
Ridiculous isn't it...
If there is a 'defend x' quest at the location then the location should defend itself - not stand there with the gates open like clothes dummies with a deathwish.
6. Summon the Sappers!
Tunneling and counter tunneling. Sapper teams should be a resources - like siege weapons available to both sides. have a 10 min timer-limited sapper team build a tunnel under wall - then have it available as an access point which one person can go through at once into the fortification, or you can set a fire in it to damage or bring down the wall above.
With a slight visual indication of the proceeding tunnel on the far side of the wall - counter tunnels can be dug by defenders sapper teams to allow a tunnel fight for ownership - the defenders (if they take it) able to collapse it and end the threat.
Put these elements in then you have to fight smart, and zerging will be less than productive.

An excelent post, really well said.
When I first started gaming online and 'Raid' was mentioned I pictured Viking raids or cattle raids....not what there is today. I wish they would call them something else because in today's games a raid is not a raid.
As for your points, I think the reason games are where they are is simply due to the pressures of time and resources and perhaps a big dollop of lazy. I agree, a game will eventually do it as you suggest but it will and has been a long time waiting for a game that actually knows what a raid is and doesn't put in a 10, 20, 40 man dungeon crawl and call it a raid.

The problem is some of the big Zergs they are actually organised LOL..
Anyway you should check out the new Darkfall for some proper sieges when its released next week.. you cant go smashing down walls and gates with your weapons or spells..
You need siege equipment..
Or you could also check Mortal Online out as the siege mechanics there are pretty good.. as you need to actually build the siege weapons at the lcoation your attacking so you need to setup supply trains to get all the materials needed to build it, then a supply train for the rocks the weapons uses.. so not only do you need to defend the weapon you allow need to defend the supply train.. its a shame the devs behind MO where not better as they really did have some great ideas.

Agree with all those. Not sure sappers is a top priority but a "nice to have". To add some commentary however:
1., Again these should be major enterprises to actually build and therefore to destroy them they should be a seriously hard proposition and the defenders due to the defences should have the advantage which needs ot be matched by 00's of enemies and siege engines... not a 12-party dirty dozen or 2! Pathfinder has a good blog on settlements... Player-Created Buildings and Structures
2. Agree, organised armies should have bonuses and wipe zergs - most mass combat in mmorpgs reminds me of barbarians with huge Claymores, not Roman military strategy.
There's an excellent Design Blog by Goblin Works for Pathfinder Online that touches on this: Blog #18: You're in the Army Now!
3. Siege Weapons should be expensive and time intensive to build - so there ideally would be crafting and economic costs/planning so they can't just be 'poofed' out of thin air by the guild with most gold.
4. Increased range from Battlements - great idea! And agree one-shot hit of artillery should be deadly imo. :)
5. Again there's been some really good ideas for Pathfinder Online forums from the devs about the complications of guilds taking ""forts"" while the home-boys are offline. Some automated settings are therefore indispensable of a kind.

It's called Warhammer Online Age of Reckoning!
1. The stupidity of doorhammer has been removed with 1.4.0. You destroy the keep door with the ram and with the help of single target siege weapons. The time of the zerg attacking keepdoors with knifes, axes, swords is over. Thanks God.
2. With the 1.4.0 Campaign revamp has broken the Zerg in T4 (end-game). 3 pairings you have to fight for, 3 keeps you have to rank up. Your realm can only Zerg. You'll lose and never push to City while still outnumbering 2 or 3 vs 1. And even during keep siege the attacking side, who's normally the dominating one with numbers at that hour of the day has to spread out to hold the BO's. If you let the defenders get their Ressource carriers in, healing the keep door, you will never take that keep, flip the zone and push further too City.
3. It needs to be balanced as it has to remain fun. Getting one-shot during keep siege isn't funny at all. One shotting the griefers at your warcamp although with aoe siege isn't bad at all. Job done here too, even if a tweak of the range wouldn't hurt.
4. During keep defense the walls are fully populated, the posterns guarded, push out frontdoor to put pressure on the ram and push outside side postern to put pressure on the flanks.
5. Colission detection between players to build a tank wall. A foreman to buy a new keep door after wipe. There are no NPC's in the RvR lakes. No Lords, no guards, nothing. It's your realm keep, you come to defend. Thank you Mythic.
6. Rat Ogres, player played, to pull peeps from your warband on the walls. Manticores and Griffons to fly from your keep to the other realm's keep to bomb or jump on the walls. By-pass postern for melee dps. We don't need tunnels as already enough means to get inside.
It's there and it can ben properly executed. But badies will always remain badies, lucky us GW2 is there for them.

Wooden gates are not impervious to axes. The problem was standing there chopping away at a gate in clear view of the enemy was often fatal. If you wanted to be realistic about sieges until the advent of guns your options were treachery, intimidation or waiting out starvation and disease. None of which is particularly fun in a game. Cities were almost never taken by siege warfare. "Realism" arguments are weak at best. It's better start from the goal of making it fun. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of ways to make losing a city in which a great amount of time has been invested fun. If the outcome is essentially meaningless that's not much fun either.

I agree with the above poster that those are some really weak arguments, however I enjoyed the stance that it is crap that magic spells can do any real damage to a proper fortress gate. I agree. If magic spells had any affect on real defense walls in real life, banks would be robbed by wizards, not thugs.
That said, I think you might have enjoyed Shadowbane.

If that had been the case at some point in history - people would have stopped building gates out of wood...

Basic physics...
In the case of fire - a gate (if it had a significant wooden component) would have to be 'fired' for a significant period of time before it was weak enough to be breached.
Again - basic physics.
There are as far as I know - no fire spells in any game which apply a DoT for an hour or more...

Correcting wrongs on the Internet...
I'm just going to grab this little detail...
The barbarians didn't use "zerg tactics" against the Romans. Some had a pretty sophisticated military structure a good understanding of tactics, good generals and high culture. For example the Dacians (was it Dacians? -somewhere around the Northern Balkans) were unrivalled jewelers, only the Roman propaganda smeared them as uncivilized.
There are plenty of instances where the Romans were outsmarted by their neighbours.

I love your ideas and also would like to see an MMO dedicated solely to siege warfare that is done correctly and in some semblance of an organized manner. I have always dreamt of having to prepare a city for a siege, and the tricks that we could employ, be it spikes in the ground, or mines, or the age old hot oil trick or lighting the moat afire. To me, that preparation would just be a blast, especially if we could do it with other online players.

Dude, you delivered in spades.
I knew the reply would be out there, but you exceeded my expectations, Caliburn.
I need to read up on the basic physics of magic spells, because they don't seem to match what I'm currently familiar with. As it stand, even the most basic fireball or lightning strike seems to me to be something that would either require the combined forces of Criss Angel and HAARP to reproduce or would be some klind of mystical occurence that falls outside of the laws of nature as I've been taught to date.
I mean, if a fire spell burns the enemy, why doesn't it burn the caster's hands? Or if I cast a firefield, how does it know which of the people that walk into it are bad guys and which aren't? And where did the energy come from that formed that fireball? Was it from me or from nature? What energy source is being depleted and how is it renewed? Is a fireball really made of fire, though? When I cast it at trees and shrubbery they don't burn. And if it isn't real fire, then why do we hold it to the natural behavior of fire in other scenarios lie, say, a castle gate?
I guess I just always made assumptions that all this stuff was fantasy make-believe stuff and accepted it as fun game mechanics. Do you have a link to any books or reference material on the basic physics of magic spells? I'd really like to read up on that to see how real life spells differ in properties and behavior from the made up ones in games.

Most were smeared by either the Romans and/or more frequently, the Roman Catholic Church.

Did I say ALL barbarians?
As an ex-archaeologist I could trot out a fair number of barbarian battles - such as any number of Germanic or Celtic battles which qualify.
I am of course talking about what a modern MMO player would look at and think 'barbarian' - there are not that many who would start wondering whether they spoke Greek or undertsood certain forms of 'civilised' literature before classifying them as barbarians or not.
To Romans - Cathaginians were 'barbarians', Persians were 'barbarians' and for the purposes of this thread - your point is pointless.
Most armies got rolled by Romans because of their fighting method, tactics and strategies. At the siege of Alesia Caesar beat a massive horde of Celts that vastly outnumbered his army. At the Battle of Watling Street Boudica's 'zerg' got ground into mincemeat by far lesser numbers of Romans because the Romans chose their ground well and used a saw-tooth formation when the attackers didn't use any formation at all.
They were barbarians, they zerged and they lost.
End of story.

Church offers meals for local families in needWritten by Brigitta Burks | News Editor | firstname.lastname@example.com
When Liz Lacy noticed a lack of community meals on Sunday nights, she decided to do something about it with her parish, Collingwood Presbyterian Church.
Lacy, who has been a parishioner for five years, has experience with needing a meal Sunday evenings. She became homeless about six weeks ago when she couldn't find work.
"[The Toledo homeless population] is much larger than you would expect. Being in the situation myself, I realized that Sunday nights, there's no place to go to eat. If you're already in the shelter, yes, you will have a meal. But as far as if you're on the street or living in your car, and families are living in their cars, Sunday night comes and boom, you're stuck," she said.
Lacy and co-chair Lynn LaPlante organized Collingwood's Jan. 29 community meal. The family-friendly meals are set for the last Sunday of each month and each has a theme. January's was soup and "next month, we're doing family favorite, casseroles. I'm hoping in the summer to do barbecue outside," Lacy said.
The meal is modeled off of St. Mark's Episcopal Church's Sunday night meals. "I went to St. Mark's several times last year because I lived in the Old West End and I wanted to see what they were doing and how they were doing it," Lacy said.
Originally, Collingwood wanted to take a different day, but after St. Mark's merged with Trinity Episcopal Church last month, Collingwood decided it would keep the tradition of serving the meal on the last Sunday.
Collingwood prides itself on reaching out to the community, said Interim Pastor Bob Anderson.
"Jesus was big on hospitality and caring for the needy and welcoming the stranger," Anderson said. "There's abundance in this world that needs to be shared."
The parish's Dreamscape program looks at ways the church can better serve the community, something that Collingwood has done since its beginnings in the 1800s, Anderson said. Collingwood houses homeless families through the Interfaith Hospitality Network, a program the church began 22 years ago.
"[The community meal] is one of the ways we're trying to revive that and live into that vision. We'll create a larger presence in this community as a neighbor," Anderson said.
The meal is nondenominational, Lacy added.
"It's not meant to be and I hope it doesn't become a Collingwood Presbyterian dinner. It's a community dinner; it just happens to be here in the church," Lacy said.
At the first community meal, people brought about two dozen soups. Roughly 30 volunteers helped feed about 150 people, a number Lacy hopes to increase.
"It's not as many people from the community as we would have liked, but that's OK because through word of mouth, we'll be able to generate more people," she said.
Lacy, who has degrees in French and journalism, plans to begin culinary training soon and eventually go into catering, she said. Already, she is a go-to person for all things food-related at the parish and the dinner received rave reviews.
"Everything I heard was positive, like, 'When can we do it again?'" she said.
The next dinner will be 4 p.m. Feb. 26 at Collingwood Presbyterian Church, 2108 Collingwood Blvd. To donate an item or volunteer, call (419) 243-3275 and leave a message for Lacy or LaPlante.

Foodie Cards offer coupons to local restaurantsWritten by Matt Liasse | | firstname.lastname@example.com
For those times when hungry Toledoans can't decide where to go for dinner, a quick shuffle of some Foodie Cards can make the decision for them.
Foodie Cards are a deck of 54 coupons to local restaurants, each for $10 off the bill.
Restaurants include Rosie's Italian Grille, bd's Mongolian Grill, El Vaquero Mexican Restaurant, The Spaghetti Warehouse and Dégagé Jazz Café. The deck also includes two jokers with coupons for Fat Fish Blue and the Funny Bone Comedy Club and four jacks with coupons for Paddy Jack's Sylvania. Todd Gagné, CEO of It's Interactive Media (i2m), said he wanted to stay local with the concept.
"That was the goal, to stay local and to promote local eateries," Gagné said.
Even though some franchises are included in the deck, like Buffalo Wild Wings, the coupon cannot be used anywhere in the country; they can only be used in the area.
It did not cost the restaurants to participate; they only needed to agree to honor the coupon.
"This is just a neat, unique idea to get people to try the new places," Gagné said. "The ultimate goal is to get them to try it and when they go and have a good experience, then they're going to go back."
The cards were released in August. Gagné has plans to expand and hopes to be in 10 cities by this time next year.
The cards are a great Christmas gift and are conveniently small for purses or pockets, Gagné said. They are being used for school fundraisers as well, which is currently the highest market.
"It just kind of naturally lends itself to a fundraising opportunity," Gagné said. "The fundraising is really what's been knocking it out of the park."
The deck of cards costs $20, so redeeming two cards pays for the deck completely. The cards are available online at foodiecards.com or in local places like a kiosk in the Franklin Park Mall, Libbey Glass Factory Outlet, all University of Toledo federal credit unions and Costume Holiday House.

This issue is not just seen on supercharged cars but stock cars as well. We have been speaking about Sal@evolve and here is what he had to say:
Sal believes there is a defect that affects cylinder 5. Gintani in the video mentions an issue with the rods of the back cylinders. Sal believes it is an issue in the head. It may be a combination of these factors but it is worth exploring.
What we do know is stock cars have failed. We do know the oil system does not seem to be up to par especially for motors driven hard. We know bearings are wearing unevenly. We know BMW did change part numbers on some of the bearings. We know BMW is replacing failed motors that have not violated their warranty with no questions asked. This is all strong evidence of a design defect.
Since there does seem to be a problem, will BMW do a recall? The answer is likely not. It is cheaper for BMW to replace the failed motors and simply wait this issue out until all warranties have expired. Redesigning the oil system is not something the BMW M of today will do. With the S54, the bearing defect in the motor was fixed with a recall due to pressure from the internet and the issue being made widely known.
We have evidence in the past that BMW is not perfect and makes mistakes. BMW is interested in profit above all else, that much is certainly clear. The only way for any of the issues with the S65 V8 to be corrected is for the community to pull together and begin documenting these failures. However, most tuners seem to be interested in taking advantage of any motor that fails which happens to be running a competing tune or kit and leveraging this against them instead of getting to the root of the issue.
Gintani has their own solution that we will not delve into further but it will be applied to the BimmerBoost.com M3. The reality of the situation though is to properly address a weak point in the oiling system it should be made a dry sump oil system. Not a cheap solution, but the proper one. Check out the Gintani video below.

B's tradeThomas toIslandersBy IRA PODELL
The Associated Press | February 08,2013NEW YORK — Veteran goalie Tim Thomas, who has said he won't play this season, was traded by the Boston Bruins to the New York Islanders on Thursday for a conditional second-round draft choice either next year or in 2015.
Thomas chose to take this season off following the NHL lockout and was suspended by the Bruins after he didn't report to training camp last month. The 38-year-old goalie is in the final season of a four-year deal that counts for $5 million against the salary cap.
The Islanders have plenty of room to fit Thomas' salary on their cap, and this deal provides financial flexibility for the Bruins. Boston was up against the upper salary limit of $70.2 million, with Thomas' salary factored in, and New York is only marginally above the minimum payroll.
NHL teams must be in full compliance of the salary cap by Friday, the 20th day of the league season.
Thomas is unlikely to play for the Islanders this season or in the future. The draft pick conditions are expected to center around whether or not he suits up for New York.
"We have acquired an asset for our organization," Islanders general manager Garth Snow said Thursday night. "This acquisition allows us flexibility with our roster moving forward."
Thomas, a two-time Vezina Trophy winner as the NHL's top goalie, has played in 378 regular-season games — all with the Bruins. He has gone 196-121-45 with a 2.48 goals-against average and 31 shutouts. Thomas ranks fourth on Boston's career wins list and third in shutouts,
He also has a 29-21 mark in the postseason with a 2.07 GAA and six shutouts. Thomas won the Vezina and Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP when the Bruins won the Stanley Cup in 2011.MORE IN Wire SportsFLORHAM PARK, N.J. Calvin Pace cant stand training camp.

Financial Aid resources available for non-traditional students
The USC Aiken Office of Financial Aid website offers information regarding non-traditional student scholarships at the school.• The Delayed Education Scholarship for Women awards $3,500 for an applicant enrolled in a course of study relating to a degree in Nuclear Science or Nuclear Engineering in a U.S. institution. Both undergraduate and graduate students are eligible for the scholarship, which is sponsored by the American Nuclear Society. • The Talbots Scholarship Foundation is available for undergraduate students and is sponsored by the Talbots Charitable Foundation. The organization provides up to 10 awards of $15,000 and one award of $30,000. Only women who have earned a high school diploma or GED at least 10 years ago are eligible for the scholarship.
Graduation day at USC Aiken this spring will be the culmination of a 30-year ambition for Bath resident Anne Fulcher. It's a goal she hoped would have been made easier with the support of the Life Scholarship, but, at age 56, she found out she actually wasn't eligible.
"I worked really hard to get my grade point average up, but last summer when I called the Financial Aid office after making the dean's list, they said, 'Oh, you don't qualify for the Life Scholarship,'" Fulcher said.
She was ineligible, she explained, because she wasn't a recent high school graduate and had already earned a two-year associate degree from the Medical College of Georgia.
Frustrated by the outcome, she then developed the idea for a "Second Life Scholarship," a new form of financial aid for non-traditional students age 25 and older.
"I sat down and developed a criteria and an outline for it," she said, adding that her proposal included a 3.0 grade point average requirement.
She hoped that previous college grades would not be included in any final draft of the scholarship, especially since she felt most non-traditional students have improved academically compared to when they first enrolled years ago.
She's also aiming to have the scholarship be available statewide and funded at least to some degree by the S.C. Educational Lottery.
To facilitate the scholarship's development, she's spoken with local S.C. Senators Shane Massey and Tom Young as well as local S.C. Representatives Bill Clyburn and Roland Smith.
"They've been supportive of this," she said.
"It's so expensive to go back and get a four-year degree. Then, to be able to go back, have good grades and not qualify for anything, it's just wrong."
USCA has actually already expressed interest in establishing the scholarship as a pilot program exclusive to the school, she said, but needs donations in order to create a funding source and begin accepting applications.
Students cannot currently apply for the scholarship since it is not funded.
Judith Goodwin, development officer for USCA's Advancement Office, said certain scholarship details still need to be worked out, particularly since it's currently not funded.
She noted that the college currently offers scholarships that non-traditional students can qualify for, but they carry a variety of specific criteria.
She also applauded Fulcher's efforts to try to provide a new avenue for older students to re-enroll.
"It's a great idea. I think she's excited about the future, and I think she wants others to share in the excitement of going back to school."

I've never been able to get any of those online Bible software programs to work on my computer, either this one or the previous computer. They'd download and open, and then it would be blank when I'd open it, even after downloading the accompanying modules for YLT and CV. Just tried it again, just to prove to myself, that for whatever reason, ain't happenin' on any of the computers I use. LOL! Checked every single menu and although the menu might say what you'd normally expect, nothing would come up under any setting.
OS:Windows XP, Vista, Windows 2000 (needs gdiplus.dll)Windows 98SE (needs gdiplus.dll)ISA 2.0 RC7 does not work yet with Windows 7 RC but an update is underway.
Input fields displaying Hebrew text with vowel signs will not display correctly.To resolve this, install the files for complex script and right-to-left languages.
XP I think that stands for "extra problems"
I can access every program, or most of them, on this computer that have been freebies, but anything I've paid for and "good luck."
As for the shortcut. You can just directly run the program. Or edit the shortcut. Or create a new one.
What lesson did you learn from that....?
ISA2 is free so should work
Quote from: WhiteWings on June 11, 2009, 08:50:15 PMWhat lesson did you learn from that....? Don't buy cheap programs. If there's a $30 to $35 version and a $99, then wait until I can comfortably buy the $99
No thanks! LOL! I know what you mean that higher price isn't always better and you've really got to do your homework on it before you buy. I use a lot of freebies on this computer, like Avast antiviral home edition -- although I've tried the professional version and genuinely hope to permanently transition to having that one ASAP. But it's like $80 a year or something like that.
If I could have my internet connection in the middle of a Mardel, I'd be extremely happy. It's like a Christian version of Barnes and Noble. A bit bigger than a lot of the other Christian bookstores I've seen. !
Hello,I've been here for less than a "work-week" of hours, and I have yet to see anyone post a scripture reference containing a quote from A.E. Knoch's Concordant Literal New Testament or the Concordant Version of the Hebrew Scriptures. I have no "dog in the fight" over which Bible version to use, but I was introduced to the theology of Universal Reconciliation by A.E.Knoch's writings, including the Concordant Literal New Testament.Is there a reason I don't see any references?Lee

ELON, N.C. --- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's soccer team fell 3-0 Friday night at Elon in Southern Conference action. The Mocs fall to 5-11 on the year and 0-8 against the conference. Elon improves to 12-2-4 overall and 6-1-2 in league play.
The Phoenix, ranked fourth in the nation in scoring offense, scored twice in the first half, but the Mocs managed to hold them to just one goal in the second half. Senior keeper Taylor Mangrum (Franklin, Tenn.) secured 12 saves, her second double-digit saves game this season.
"We played a very strong team," Chattanooga head coach J.D. Kyzer said of Elon. "They have only lost once in the conference and they're the No. 4 scoring team in the country. We had three corners tonight and that was three scoring opportunities we couldn't capitalize on. We didn't have a lot of scoring chances tonight."
Elon got on the board in the 11th minute on the first of three goals by Nicole Dennion and assisted by Kimmie Krauss on a breakaway down the left side and a shot to the right post. Her second goal was less than three minutes later. She took a pass from Olivia Mackey and headed it in over Mangrum to give the Phoenix a 2-0 lead.
The Mocs held off the Elon offense the remainder of the half. Dennion recorded the hat trick just over 10 minutes into the second half. She scored from inside the box near the right post and was assisted by Jennifer McGorty and Marissa Russo in the 57th minute.
"She's a very talented player," Kyzer said of Dennion. "She beat us on two goals, but her second was really a technical error on our part. The ball just bounced over Taylor's head."
Elon outshot the Mocs 25-4 with 15 shots on goal. Sophomore Loryn Queen (Lanesville, Ind.) had two of Chattanooga's four shots with both on goal while the Mocs remaining shots came from junior Crystal Mackezyk (Columbia, Tenn.) and junior Allie Maguire (Chattanooga, Tenn.)
"I thought we did a good job of holding them off and defended the best we could, but they had more people on the bench than on our active roster," Kyzer said. "With all of our injuries, we were worried about a team that is high profile in scoring and able to substitute seven players at a time. We basically played against three fresh teams."
The Mocs will travel to UNCG for a Sunday afternoon matchup in Greensboro, N.C. The game is set to kick off at 2 p.m. Live stats as well as streaming video will be available on the schedule page at GoMocs.com.

PRESTONSBURG — A new sporting goods store will soon be opening in the city, and the location might surprise those familiar with the Prestonsburg Village Shopping Center.
Hibbett Sports will be opening a store between Walmart and Save-A-Lot.
"What most people don't realize is that Save-A-Lot didn't take the whole building when the moved in there (the old Winn-Dixie building)," said Prestonsburg Fire Chief Bobby Carpenter. "There's actually 8,000 square feet between the two that Save-A-Lot didn't take, and that's where Hibbett Sports is going to be."
The company has already filed blueprints with the city and has obtained a demolition permit "for what little bit of demolition they have to do," Carpenter said. The company is still waiting for state approval on its building permit.
No timeline for the new store's opening was available. Officials with the company's Birmingham, Ala., headquarters could not be reached for comment.
Hibbett Sports operates over 800 sporting goods stores in 26 states, selling shoes, athletic apparel and sporting equipment. The company has reported 12 consecutive quarters of earnings increases, with comparable store sales up 6.4 percent during the company's third quarter.

Every year we plant a few new (to us) tomato varieties to see how they grow in our garden, and one of our new favorites for this year is the Amish Paste, a meaty plum tomato that doesn't have too much juice, so it's perfect for sauces and salsas. Our plant has grown huge, over 9 feet tall, and has been a prolific producer of smallish 2-ounce tomatoes.
Hockey Guy and I picked some to make this salsa fresca, a simple no-cook salsa that young kids can help with and older kids can tackle on their own. The work is all in the chopping, and Hockey Guy had a fun time practicing his knife skills on the tomatoes, garlic, and cilantro, while I chopped the onion and jalapeno.
He did a fine job dicing the tomatoes.
And he really liked juicing the limes.
The salsa makes a great appetizer, or you can spoon it over any kind of Mexican food, an omelet, or scrambled eggs.
Make sure to visit The Kids Cook Monday for more recipes to cook with your kids.
How Adults Can Help the Kids
- Demonstrate and assist with any tasks that might be new: slicing, chopping.
- Onions can be a little tricky to grasp while chopping, so let an adult take on that job if you are making the salsa with young children.
Safety Tips
- Make sure an adult is present at all times.
- Young children should not handle sharp knives. Teach older children knife safety, such as keeping fingers back from the blade, and laying the knife down on the board when not in use.
Makes about 3 cups.
1 quart serving bowl
1 pound meaty plum tomatoes, diced
1 small red onion, peeled and diced
1 jalapeno, seeded and deveined, finely chopped (or more to taste)
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (or more to taste)
pinch of sea salt
Toss all of the ingredients together in a bowl and stir. Allow to rest for at least 15 minutes, then serve. Refrigerate any leftovers for up to 3 days.

Skating to where the customers are going to be
"Skating to where the puck is going to be" is an old Wayne Gretzky saying that Steve Jobs once quoted, and so it gets rehashed a lot when discussing Apple's strategy for moving into new markets. Typically that's with hardware like iPhone, iPad, or potential hardware like the rumored iWatch, or with features like iTunes, AirPlay or Passbook. It's also an apt way to describe Apple's commercial strategy.
Time was, if you wanted to buy an Apple product, you had to search out one of the few, though often incredibly enthusiastic authorized resellers, or scour the dusty back shelves of a department retailer. Then Apple started building Apple Stores. They gave customers a place to go, and provided them with a great experience when they got there. But it wasn't enough. Even with stores in the hundreds, not everyone had one conveniently nearby. Apple Online could ship almost anywhere, but getting real products in real stores would take more. Apple knew that, so they built-out "stores within stores" at big boxes. And they kept going, getting their consumer devices on the shelves of popular electronics stores, megamarts, and this year, office depots.
They even made an Apple Store app because a growing segment of the market doesn't even go to the web anymore. They go to apps.
Apple's early retail strategy was unfocused and ineffective. They stepped back, regrouped, carefully built out something that could not only scale, but adapt, and then they began to deploy.
Time was, if you wanted to see Apple's ads you had to catch them on TV, hunt through Apple.com, or search out a bootleg online. Transformative campaigns like Think Different, Get a Mac, and App for That either required you to seek them out in unfriendly, hard-to-share formats, or suffer through a version uploaded at low quality, often with ancillary ads, commentary or agendas. Now Apple has a YouTube channel where they upload not only their own ads, but promotional videos and keynotes as well, in good quality, often the same day they air on TV or at events.
Even though it's owned by one of Apple's biggest competitors, Google, it's also the second biggest search engine in the world, enjoys massive mainstream awareness, and is almost a community unto itself.
Time was, if you wanted media and apps from Apple you had to go to iTunes and the App Store. Now iTunes is on Facebook, and Apple has multiple Twitter accounts for everything from movie trailers to podcasts, music to apps. They've even begun featuring iBooks inside the popular social reader, Flipboard.
Apple figured out that people coming to their stores were likely already customers, and already predisposed to buy. Putting their wares on social networks allowed them to push beyond the boundaries of their web site and devices, to where potential customers could be found. A like or a re-tweet here, and chance flip there, and someone who may not have even thought about visting an Apple Store or buying something suddenly sees a link, and maybe, curiously, clicks or taps on it.
Some have criticized Apple for these moves, accused them of devaluing their brand or tarnishing the premium aura of their products. By like Daring Fireball's John Gruber has often said, Apple is all about mainstream luxury. The iPod, iPhone, and iPad, and everything that rounds out the product line, has never been about snooty exclusivity but about exceptionally well made accessibility.
People used to joke, sometimes disparagingly, about seeing Apple products at the local quicky mart. That's not a joke. It's just constrained to gift cards. For now.
Apple is skating hard, not just to where their customers are, but to where they're customers are going to be.
Note to devs: I said YouTube instead of video because not putting your app videos on YouTube is like making your website exclusive to Bing. Apple's on YouTube for a reason. You should be too.

Skating to where the customers are going to be
Dude, I love this brand as much as you love it but don't forget sometimes it's just something someone create to make money and there's more important things to love. Sometimes I read you and you talk like it was somebody...
It's a website about Apple. I wrote about Iron Man 3 earlier. What more do you want from me?!?!
Re: "They even made an Apple Store app because a growing segment of the market doesn't even go to the web anymore. They go to apps."
Yup. As important as the browser was in the last 10 years, it's now a legacy feature. Why? Because as we all start to consume more and more video over the internet, the browser will become less and less relevant to how we use the internet.
But don't just take my word for it.
Kiss your browser goodbye:
The grim future of web browsers:
Web & native apps are the future & the browser will never be the same:

Even though services at the Lyburn Post Office have been temporarily suspended, its postal customers are being provided with the same services.
Logan Postmaster Thea Dunford says customers should still use their Lyburn address and ZIP code, no changes need to be made.
"Repairs need to be made to the building at Lyburn, which is why service there has been suspended. Lyburn customers who get their mail at home will get their mail as usual. There is a box section for Lyburn customers at the Man Post Office. People can call any of the post offices to get answers to any questions they may have," said Dunford.
Dunford also wants customers to know of two new stamps being issued by the post office. The Johnny Cash stamp came out this week and the new West Virginia stamp will be available on West Virginia Day, June 20. A large supply of these stamps was ordered to be sure there was an adequate supply available.

Savannah River Site's Citizens Advisory Board expressed its approval of the U.S. Court of Appeals' decision to continue the licensing process for the proposed Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository.
After federal funding for Yucca was cut in 2009, talk began that Savannah River Site could become a potential interim facility for nuclear waste. However, last week's ruling ordered that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission spend $11.1 million to begin reviewing Yucca as a spent fuel facility.
"The CAB has always believed that the abandonment of the Yucca Mountain Repository for nuclear wastes was a faulty policy driven by local Nevada politics rather than technical reasons," said Don Bridges, chairman of the Citizens Advisory Board. "We are happy to learn that, as expected, the licensing process for Yucca is being restarted."
According to U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., the state of South Carolina has invested more than $1.3 billion in the Yucca Mountain project over the last three decades.
While the $11.1 million will be used in the early stages, larger amounts of funding will be required if the Yucca project is to be successful. During a two-day, bimonthly meeting in July, the advisory board reinforced its approval of Yucca by voting against nuclear spent fuel potentially coming to SRS.
"Unfortunately, much time has been lost along with technical information and resources; restarting the process now will be delayed longer than the three years the licensing process was delayed," Bridges added. "It is also necessary that Congress approve the funding to continue the licensing process. Despite the delays, the CAB is gratified that this step in the process has been completed."
The Citizens Advisory Board is a part of the Environmental Management Site-Specific Advisory Board. The board provides input on environmental management issues including clean-up standards, waste management and disposition, future land use and long-term stewardship, risk assessment and management, and clean-up science and technology activities.

Israeli Music
We Also Recommend
In every country and among every people, music attests to national character and national ideals. The rhythms, harmonies, melodies, and poetry of music relate to and help to define personal characteristics, social customs and rituals, national religion, as well as national and personal identity. Most of today's societies have had hundreds or thousands of years to develop a national music; the State of Israel has had only since 1948 to assert itself as a political, social, and cultural entity in a fast-moving world. In many ways, the history of Israeli music reflects the broad struggles of that young country.
The early history of music in Israel was determined by two major forces: the Zionist movement, whose participants encouraged the creation and dissemination of Israeli "folk" music; and the political struggle against Fascism, which led many European-born musicians to flee to the Holy Land.
Jewish immigrants to Palestine brought with them music of their various host countries. The leaders of the Zionist movement sought to inspire and unite these new olim (immigrants) with a common cultural identity. To that end, Zionist musicians composed hundreds of short and simple folk songs for dissemination among the immigrant communities and among Jews abroad. The songs' lyrics spoke of the experience of living in the Holy Land, from stories about the agricultural cycle to lullabies to stories of love. Their musical qualities combined the sounds of European music with hallmarks of the "exotic" — minor modes, the Yemenite trill, and Arabic instruments. Many of these songs are still sung today throughout the Jewish community; among the most well-known is the love song "Erev Shel Shoshanim" ("Evening of Lillies").
The folk tradition dovetailed into a new form of national popular music, represented above all by Naomi Shemer. From the 1960s to the 1980s, Shemer sang of the uniqueness of the land of Israel. Her song "Yerushalayim Shel Zahav" ("Jerusalem of Gold")–composed just before the Six Day War of 1967–spoke of Jews' longing for Jerusalem. After Jerusalem's unification, Shemer famously modified the lyrics to reflect Israel's accomplishments in the war.

Hope the new options are useful.
