Often I read bout how you need this grahics card or that to play certain mmorpgs. Lately, I purchased a new computer. Its nothing major and will give you the specs. I thought because I did not have one of those expensive graphic cards I would not be able to play certain games. But, so far, every single mmorpg I play including LOTRO,SWTOR,RIFT,EQ,EQ2,Vanguard...have no issues.
Are the new computers just that good these days?
Here are the specs:
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU-G645T @ 2.5GHz 2.50GHz
4G Ram
System type: 64bit processor x64-based processor
Intel(R) High Definition Graphics
Windows 8 Premium
Thats it, nothing more nothing less. I run the above titles with no issues. Also run Pirate101, Wizard101, EVE, and the one I thought I would have trouble with Age of Conan.
All of them run perfect if not better than my old system with its R8250(HD) graphics setup.
Any clue as to why they run perfect? I used to dread seeing the Intel graphics on a computer. But on this machine it seems a graphics card is not even needed.
The computer itself is only around 8 weeks old.

I actually still like MMORPGs
You have to define perfect though. Minimum settings? 15fps? Some people have different standards me I need Max textures decent draw distance and at least 30fps
Some people aren't happy if they don't get 60fps on max settings. I know I've heard people say before "runs perfect for me" then I ask them to check fps and they say "says 12fps" I mean 12 really? That's a true story btw it was in vanguard. 12fps is unplayable to me but he thought it was perfect.

i doubt u can move Swtor or EQ2 (is hardly optimized >.>) in that specs "well"
i can move crysis 2 , or AC3,skyrim with lots of mods at max np , and have FPS problems in that games :(
and yeah for me now 60fps maxed is perfect , but i can play with 30fps+ , played old games with 25-30fps

Ohh, the doubters!!
First its not a lap top. I play all the games on high. Well I looked up my Intel graphics card. Its a Intel Graphics(HD) 2000.
Here is a short video of what it can do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEpfC6ycJJY and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ-VgLpFgIo for our doubters.
also a Skyrim video using Intel 2000: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVLq7LvzxJQ
Which means I really do not need a expensive graphics card. Intel with its latest version of graphics took it away :-D

Moore's Law says that about every two years, you get to double the number of transistors on a chip. That's exponential growth, so chips today can have about 32 times as many transistors as they did 10 years ago, and about 1000 times as many as they did 20 years ago.
It's gotten to the point where everyone says, well, we don't really need this many transistors for the CPU, so what else can we put in the same die? So you get an onboard memory controller, PCI Express bus, power management, GPU, or whatever else they feel like tossing in. And they can dedicate quite a few transistors to the GPU, too.
Putting a GPU in the same chip as the CPU has some big advantages, and both AMD and Intel have started making integrated graphics a couple notches higher in the performance scale than they used to.
Meanwhile, the bare minimum graphical performance needed to get a game to run hasn't really increased that fast. If you could do something to make a game playable ten years ago on the video cards of that day, then you can do the same thing to make it playable on video cards no faster than what was available ten years ago.
Having a ton of extra GPU power available means you can offer more effects and make games look much better. But it sounds like you're running games at low settings, seeing that they're playable, and happy with that. Some of the games that you list aren't very demanding; in some cases, this is because they're very old. If you pick up a fairly demanding game and try to max settings, you'll see the GPU choke in a hurry.
Intel graphics are still awful compared to the competition. AMD Radeon HD 7660D integrated graphics would probably get you about quadruple the performance of what you got. Intel drivers are also rather problematic. If a nasty bug in AMD or Nvidia video drivers is found, they'll probably release a beta fix within weeks and get it into their routine driver updates within months. If a nasty bug in Intel video drivers is found, it probably won't be fixed. Ever.
There's also the issue of API compliance, and Intel lags behind very badly here. You've probably only tried running DirectX 9.0c or earlier games, and that launched in 2005. Newer APIs can do a ton of cool stuff that game designers have mostly been hesitant to use--and your graphics basically doesn't support it. The oldest Nvidia cards to support OpenGL 3.3 launched in late 2006. The oldest AMD cards to support it launched in early 2007. The oldest Intel graphics to support it launched in 2012.
Meanwhile, the graphics chip you got doesn't support it at all. If a game decides to require a recent API in order to run the game, even using an old enough API that all discrete video cards from the last six years are fine could easily leave the game unable to run at all on your graphics. When will that happen? It's not clear, but it could become common pretty soon.
Most games do use DirectX and not OpenGL. But DirectX (or rather, the Direct3D part of DirectX) and OpenGL mostly do about the same things. DirectX also has some "feature level" nonsense, where a GPU chip can claim that it supports DirectX 11 feature level 9_3, and people think it supports DirectX 11, but that really only means the functionality present in DirectX 9.0c. If a game needs anything more recent, I don't know if it would just disable some features and make the game look horribly broken (e.g., a bunch of things simply don't draw at all), or if it would crash or otherwise refuse to run.
OpenGL doesn't allow those shenanigans; if you want to claim to support OpenGL 4.2, you have to support everything in it. But since DirectX and OpenGL mostly do the same things (I'd be absolutely shocked if video cards don't commonly pair a DirectX command with its OpenGL equivalent and treat them exactly the same way), if video drivers don't support recent OpenGL versions, I'd question how complete the support for recent DirectX versions is.

Let em put a slave ring thru u're nose u're prob not going to like where they're taking you. Think.
That's good to know. This has been my greatest contention with game play. The systems we run games on. But when they can play Final Fantasy 14 with settings on high give me a call, lolz.

Game requirements stagnated, I have had my ATI 5770 for 3 years and it still plays every game. It wasn't even a high-end card to begin with, it's a mid-low end card that is 3 years old.
I think it's because of consoles, when the new consoles come out they'll upgrade graphics again and we'll need new hardware, until then everything works.

op!the thing is often when people say this wont cut it etc most of those are elitist!
but an average person ?could buy half the computer an elitist would buy and get away very close to same quality ,how?
buy gaming at 1080i instead of 1080p,sound stupid?it isnt.the issue most of the time isnt 1080i the issue is setting your computer properlly to have 1080i this means also looking into window color system color profile etc etc!
like console:when they re at 1080i everything is automaticly set to 1080i by the machine (not like on computer where you have to manually set everything)and i bet most would be hardpressed to see the difference and most of the time the difference is caused by the srgb profile not the interlace !but then marketeer ten to do this!
oh there will be a difference!but often you will have to zoom in so much on the image (with a spacial software)to see it!that in the end there is no difference!
the main issue is if it isnt on a console it is next to impossible to set your computer in 1080i for average user.too many variable in there that need to be changed.but if your tech savy enough?lol instead of neeeding that 690 or that 7990 you could do has good with a 680 or a 7970
you have to remember that in 1080p there is around 2 million and in 1080i there is 1 million that is a huge difference!most often the issue is bad timing in the various software!
like i say ,in 1080i it can look so close to as good as 1080p that you ll wonder why people use 1080p ,because in theory 1080p look better .but if you stream then quality is lowered because too much data (bitrate)see the picture here.ya 1080p is mostly a scam.unless you dont stream or you have a uber computer.stick to 1080i learn how to set your computer.its the best compromise for average user.
its worst ,even if you were to win the lotery i still would say to you to stick to 1080i !why!becausethe web on average is limited to 3500 kb/s this means you probably wont want to go higher then 3499 kb/s!ya today your best bet is 1080i!
ya when you talk about online it is full of compromise some better then other!

In a earlier post had a poster state that I cannot run EQII on high settings. All the games above that I stated except Vanguard run on high graphics. Vanguard which runs on medium. I imagine next years Intel graphics will make most other graphic cards useless. Unless there is a significant breakthrough technology(Like VHS to DVD)and programming. I do not expect to see anything useful from the graphics tech market.
When I can go out and buy a 500 dollar computer and it equals a monster machine(that someone payed monster money for) from as little as 2 years ago. That is saying something!

I'm sorry, but I don't believe the OP in the slightest. A good friend of mine at work has a chip with Intel HD Graphics 4000 and even that chip can't touch any modern game on "high" settings. I have seen him try with my own eyes. He had to crank the settings down to the bare minimum just to get almost-playable FPS.
But then again, we don't know what monitor resolution he's using. Maybe he has a 800x600 CRT screen. Sure, your chip will play games on high at that resolution, but it won't come close to playing games at high settings at 1920x1080 resolution. Not a chance.

Uh....that Skyrim video....yeah, I think you might need a trip to your optomitrist. If you want to really see what Skyrim is capable, just check out some of the heavily modded PC versions with some of those fancy ENBs enabled. I am not saying you cannot have fun playing Skyrim the ay it looks in your video, but....ok, it's awful.

The view distance detail is really low too. Those trees in the background look like trees from one of the earliler Tiger Woods PGA Tour games for the playstation 2. Skryim can look so so SO much better than that.
As for the other games, they're shown in 480p resolution, so it's hard to tell much of anything. We also don't know what resolution monitor they were played on.
Don't get me wrong, I've never been one to have the latest, greatest, most poweful gagets. I had a Radeon 5770 for 3 years and only just upgraded. It still served me fine until the end. I now have a GeForce 560ti, which I got for just over $100. You would never see me spend more than that on any PC part. So I'm totally on board with being economical. But don't trick yourself into thinking you've got something better than you do.
Actually, scratch that. If you can deceive yourself and be blissfully happy with what you have, why not? Whatever your requirements are to enjoy the games you play.

Its not deception. I do play EQII on its highest setting :-D. If I can get decent graphics cheap. Its not a deception, rather a good thing for me. I appreciate the answers given in this set of posts. But I also believe that perhaps a few of them not from the OP are woefully incorrect :-D

EverQuest 2 launched way back in 2004. If a new computer today can't keep pace with computers that people had in 2004, something is wrong.
But EverQuest 2 is a massive outlier in game performance. Two key ways to improve game performance is to:
1) offload as much work to the video card as is practical, and
2) thread the CPU code to scale well to many cores.
EverQuest 2 does neither. They did a ton of graphical work on the CPU, and single-threaded the game. The idea was that the game would run well on the future 10 GHz Pentium 4 CPUs that Intel was promising around the time the game launched. Then the laws of physics got in the way and Intel still hasn't released a consumer CPU with a stock clock speed of even 4 GHz. So while it is a badly coded game, it won't penalize you for having a weak GPU or only two CPU cores, as it isn't able to exploit stronger gaming systems.
There's also a question of how high of frame rates you want. If you're perfectly happy with 20 frames per second on average and a lot of hitching, then that lets you get away with much weaker hardware than if you insist on a steady 60 frames per second. If you're perfectly happy with 60 frames per second in fairly vacant areas dropping into the teens when it gets crowded, then you can get much weaker hardware than if you insist on 60 frames per second in even the harshest, most crowded conditions.
You should also realize that game programmers can detect the GPU you're using and adjust settings for you, though what game designers do about this varies wildly. The "high" graphics preset on Intel HD Graphics could easily be lower graphical settings in an absolute sense than a "medium" graphics preset on a more capable gaming card. They could also hard-disable certain features if they decide that your GPU can't handle it--especially if it is necessary to prevent a crash. The maximum settings that they'll allow your GPU to attempt isn't necessarily the max that they'll allow someone else to attempt.
There are also options with how some features get implemented in drivers. In some cases, the DirectX and OpenGL specification will say that a GPU has to have this exact behavior. In other cases, it will only say that it needs to meet certain criteria, but let the exact details vary from one GPU to another. That means that the same game at the same (absolute) settings on different video cards can look substantially different--and any differences are probably going to be in the direction of "Intel graphics look worse".
You can get a decent enough GPU on a severe budget. Desktop Llano systems are basically on clearance and have been for quite a while, so you could grab that and probably get a viable severe budget gaming desktop on a $400 budget excluding peripherals. But what you got isn't a decent enough GPU. It sounds like you just haven't picked up any games that require substantial GPU power at the settings you want.

Wow... that Skyrim video... :)
I had the same experience only once, back when Oblivion came out and I had to play it on my old Ti4200. Luckliy some dude made a patch to the game with dumbed down textures, called it OldBlivion... I played it for a week then bought a better card :)

MMORPG usually don't require great video cards, but going into a massive PvP battle with an integrated card will probably not end well. Besides, you'll be getting a blurry, ugly game compared to what you'd get with a decent video card. "Decent" doesn't cost 500$. It's 200$ or less. My HD 6870 doesn't have any problems running all modern games on nearly maxed settings, with 50+ FPS.

I am not that suprised that that card can handle those old games with decent settings and even modern games with everything set to low.
Even so the fps wont be that good and it certaily wont be as enjoyable as playing games with a dedicated card even a lower spec dedicated card..
Me I like to play all my games maxed out so have a decent system. but most of the time i do small upgrades so i dont end up spending a shit load at the same time.

Took enough time away from work to have lunch with my daughter today. One of the few times I can get her to slow down enough to just talk.
Mine weighs 100 lb and he usually hates water too. Well, specifically bath water....you can see why we wrestle LOL. I never dreamed he'd jump in for anyone!!I can appreciate your excitement! We have a 110-pound German Shepherd and he hates water. It seems impossible to think he'd ever jump right in. But then again yours did, so maybe ours might too one day.
Me thinks you are right....He has never done that for me!! Most of the time I have to have my husband pick him up for me. He's too big!! I know who is in charge of the baths from now on!! Whoo hoo for an easier bath time and whoo hoo to fresh doggie smell!!Me thinks the dog is telling you he might prefer the kids giving him a bath. "he jumped right in"
I am excited today because.....My daughter is going to the Victoria theater tomorrow to see the play A Christmas Carol!!! This is her first real play in a large theater!! The theater is a lovely old marble ( they say marble...looks white to me) building that has been around since the 1866 ( it is supposedly haunted)
I am happy today because a dear friend is back home after dealing with a very emotional weekend.
The Christmas lights are finally all up!!! All that is left is to put wrapping paper on the front door... which will be a pain in the butt.
If our neighbor didn't insist on pretending he was Clark Griswold then we would have the nicest-looking house in the neighborhood.
We got all the outside decorating done. Now working on the inside.
I am happy today because there is someone who has gone out of his way to make me smile. And succeeded.

To The Editor:
I am seeking the help of your readers to identify excellent school leaders throughout Vermont. The research is clear: An effective school principal alone can account for up to 25 percent of the student improvement that the whole school makes.
We seek leaders who have made a profound difference on their schools by setting direction for the organization, by developing the people, by redesigning the organization (defined as providing workplace conditions to let motivation and capacities grow) and by managing the instructional program.
Is your principal such a leader? If so, would you take a few moments to nominate this person for a Leadership Award from the Vermont Principals' Association?
We seek elementary, middle and high school principals and assistant principals for our awards that are given at our annual Leadership Academy in the summer of 2012.
Nominations can come from parents, students, community members and colleagues. The nomination form is at vpaonline.org or contact our office at (802) 229-0547.
Won't you recognize an unsung hero by nominating your school principal? You'll be glad you did.

A few days ago, I published some 2012 Cloud Computing predictions from Warren Heffelfinger (CEO – GoGrid), James Urquhart (Cloud Writer for GigaOm & VP of Product Strategies at enStratus) and Larry Warnock (CEO of Gazzang). The beginning of any year is critical to not only reflect back on what transpired, but also to gaze into the future to see what is to come. With Cloud Computing, to quote an over-used phrase, "the sky's the limit" and while there are some similarity within these and the previous predictions, there are also some distinct opinions as to where we are all headed in the cloud.
In this article, I have compiled more insightful predictions from another stellar list of cloud experts, namely:
- John Keagy (Chairman & Founder – GoGrid)
- Carson Sweet (CEO – CloudPassage)
- Antonio Piraino (CTO – ScienceLogic)
Below are their predictions so read on to see how they stack up!

Kalinga chief from Lubuagan? Bontoc Igorot dance troupe? Less-civilized Kalinga policemen? Multiple identifications made by colonialists reveals more about the arbitrariness of their classificatory system & beliefs than anything about these individuals.
Seeing is Believing: Photographs of American Colonialism in the Philippines
Curated by Aaron Madow '14

Opening Reception: October 25: 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Haverford College • Magill Library • Sharpless Gallery
Seeing is Believing: Photographs of American Colonialism in the Philippines questions the association between sight and belief fundamental to the narrative of colonial official Dean Worcester and his shadowy photographer, Charles Martin. The hand-written captions on these photographs come from a system of thought where attributes like race and civilization were believed to be visible on Philippine bodies. This exhibit seeks to recover and fracture the conflation between sight and belief so important to American colonial arguments about the Philippines. Through historical contextualization, we are reminded of what these photographs stood for, and how the exploitation and racism that shaped the Philippines have left firm, tangible traces that are still apparent in the photos today. Still, the interpretations and meaning of these photographs cannot be limited by any one narrative. Turning viewers into participants in knowledge-making, this exhibit finally asks, when you see these photographs, what do you believe?
Aaron Madow is the recipient of the Library Exhibit Internship sponsored by the Haverford College Library and the Hurford Center for the Arts and Humanities.

once again proved iOS is better than android...
Largest U.S. newspaper publisher buys thousands of iPad 2s, iPhone 4S
The largest newspaper publisher in the United States has ordered "thousands" of iPad 2s and iPhone 4S, according to an internal memo from Gannett newspaper division president Bob Dickey.
The independent Gannett Blog posted the memo Wednesday evening (from an iPhone no less). Writes Dickey:
In every local market, we have the most and the best journalists. These new tools will help our journalists meet the demands of the new news cycle, one that requires agility in real-time reporting, social media and greater emphasis on video storytelling, further increasing our competitive advantage.
Dickey also waxed poetic about the potential the iPhones and iPads have for journalists, saying the new devices will "enable them to do new things we can't even imagine yet." A note to Mr. Dickey: Give TiPb -- heck, any of the Mobile Nations sites -- a read. We'll show ya real quick what can (and has) been done for years.
The phones and tablets will reach newsrooms in January.

I don't think it's a case on the phone, it's probably just the lighting.
They charge a fortune for the local paper and it's...excuse the pun...paper thin. The advertising on Sunday is actually bigger than the Sunday newspaper itself.
The company couldn't care less about all the small newspapers they bought, except to use their facilities to push USA Today.
Respected authority,
Myself Ranajit Debnath. I am the representative of student council for international student for Fachhochschule Rosenheim, Germany. We want to convert our magazine into Ipad app which is my duty.
But our budget is low as well. As per as I know from your site it is not clear about your rates. I will be highly obliged if you provide me the rate chart for that so that I can be assure of that and to match to our budget.
I will wait for your positive reply.
Thanks and regards
I've read some just right stuff here. Definitely price bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how much attempt you put to make this type of wonderful informative website.

You would have to reach far back in the history books to find a time when Germany wasn't considered to be one of the world's foremost countries in engineering prowess. When it comes to the music industry, Hughes & Kettner has been upholding that reputation with its amplifiers, cabinets and effects units since the company was founded in 1984.
Hughes & Kettner is a high-end supplier to guitar and bass players, offering a full range of combo amplifiers, amp heads and speaker cabinets with choices at a variety of power levels and feature sets. Believing firmly in the excellence of tubes, Hughes & Kettner has taken a pioneering stance with its designs to bring to market the most high-tech tube amps you'll find. These machines offer programmable heads and digital effects above and beyond what you'd find on most similar amplifiers.
The tube-oriented design philosophy of Hughes & Kettner doesn't end with the amplifier. Most of the effects pedals made by the company are also driven by tubes, which is a rarity among effects processors—especially stompbox-type units. With functions including reverb, overdrive and recording, these pedals are perfect for further enhancing the sound of a tube amp or even adding a tube-like quality to a solid-state amp's tone.
The flagship of the Hughes & Kettner lineup is the Coreblade amplifier, a beefy 100W head that's a favorite of Rush's Alex Lifeson. You've probably also heard one of these amps if you're a fan of Kiss, since Tommy Thayer relies on H&K hardware as well.
Hughes & Kettner makes great amps—the patronage of Lifeson and Thayer is proof enough of that. It's also set itself apart as an innovator in pedals by using tubes even in stompboxes. When German engineering and the almighty vacuum tube come together, the resulting products can only be a good thing for the world of music.

If you use Gmail's POP3 fetching feature to read messages from other email accounts, you've noticed that Gmail checks for new messages less frequently than desktop mail clients. Usually, Gmail tries to find new messages every hour, but some accounts are updated more frequently, especially if you get many messages.
"Once you've set up Mail Fetcher, Google will check your other accounts on a regular basis, and new mail will appear automatically in Gmail. Gmail checks individual accounts for new messages at different rates, depending on previous mail fetch attempts. At this time you can't customize the frequency of automatic mail fetches," explains Google.
While the most obvious improvement would be to manually set the frequency, Google decided that's inefficient, but added a Gmail Labs feature that lets you manually refresh your accounts. Go to Gmail Labs, enable "Refresh POP accounts" and click "Save Changes". When you want to check for new messages, click on the "Refresh" link at the top of the page. You should see a message informing you that Gmail is "fetching mail".
Until now, you had to go to the Settings page, select the Accounts tab and click on "Check mail now" next to each POP3 account. Gmail solved this problem by adding a new feature to the existing "Refresh" link. "The refresh link at the top of your inbox will not only update your inbox with your new Gmail messages, it will also fetch messages from any other accounts which you have set up," mentions Emmanuel Pellereau.
Yahoo Mail has a better mail checking interface: you can refresh individual POP3 accounts with just two clicks and there's a keyboard shortcut for refreshing all accounts. Unfortunately, Yahoo Mail checks your POP mail accounts for new messages only when you request it.
Update: The Labs feature has graduated in August 2012 and it's a standard Gmail feature. Click the refresh button at the top of your inbox.

Creekview whipped the Greyhounds 61-18 in the opening round on Thursday evening, with Jackson Williamson at 285 pounds, Seth Killgo at 132, and Danny Williams at 126 getting Jones County's only three victories in the 14 matches.
The Greyhounds wrestled much better against Stephenson in the first round of the consolation bracket on Thursday morning, only to fall 43-42 in a heartbreaker that came down to an obscure tiebreaker rule.
Jones County won five of the first seven matches, but Stephenson rallied to win five of the last seven, including the final two, to tie the Greyhounds at 42 points each.
That sent the outcome to a tiebreaking formula that went through several steps before the Jaguars finally were declared the winner due to having scored first in the most matches.
"The first tiebreaker is flagrant fouls, and there were none. Then it is total pins or forfeits, and that was even. Then total matches won, then total technical falls, then major decisions and finally about the sixth or seventh tiebreaker was first points scored in a match," coach Daniel Lewis said. "We were even all the way down to that tiebreaker because we each won seven matches either by pin or forfeit. But in a couple of matches where we wound up winning by a pin, their guy scored the first points before our guy fought back to win, so they scored first in eight or nine of the matches and won the tiebreaker point."

Neil Breed, Community Outreach Coordinator for Huff Funeral Home in East Bend, announced recently that the funeral home will sponsor the United States Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program to help needy children in Yadkin county this holiday season.
Last year the funeral home and many gracious Yadkin county citizens helped provide toys for over fifty children through the program. The mission of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.
"Bringing a smile to a needy child's face this Christmas has never been easier," said Joe Clay, general manager at Huff's. "The whole staff and I are excited about helping with the program again this year," Clay said.
"It was a great joy to see the sense of hope and appreciation from the families that we helped through the program last year," said Apprentice Funeral Director Roy Riggins.
Joe Clay also said that people who donate to the program either monetary or toys will be entered to win one of 25 vacation packages valued at several hundred dollars.
For more information about the program, contact the funeral home at 336-699-3131.

It ends with a 1-0 win to Lyon over Real Madrid in France! Should be an entertaining second leg at the Bernabeu!
The game between Stoke and manchester City at the Britannia Stadium ends in a 1-1 draw, after Gareth Barry managed to save a draw for City in the late stages of the game. City have now moved 1 point behind Liverpool on the table and holds the fourth place, with one less game played than the Reds.
Rooney is happy with the win in an interview.
He probably does not understand anything of the English that the Italian interviewer is talking about. lol
Good live commentary litlio!

Gossip Girl
Which Gossip Girl Cast Member Didn't Want More Screen Time?
Do you ever have that thing happen where you think about Gossip Girl and start writing storylines in your head that don't jive with real life? No? Just us? Hmm, well sometimes when we do that, we like to reimagine a world in which characters who have long-since disappeared return in a big way.
While some folks were hired on just to be momentary pretty things, there are others who could have done a little more to stick around. One of those peeps is Connor Paolo. According to TV Line, the actor who played Eric van der Woodsen had the chance to become a series regular back in the second season.
"I'm very happy with my position on the show and I have no interest in changing it," Connor said at the time. "Watching Blake [Lively] and Penn [Badgley] and the things they have to deal with as [a full-time cast members]… because they are on the posters and they are the face of the show, is not something I'm totally ready for right now."
Now that he's gone island-ward and is living life in the Hamptons on Revenge, he's getting a taste of what it might have been like if he had stuck around. But according to spoiler photos, we've spotted him hanging around the UES again. Is he coming back to drop a bomb that he's Gossip Girl?

- Plasticity resembling spike-timing dependent synaptic plasticity: the evidence in human cortex (2010)
- Spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) has been studied extensively in a variety of animal models during the past decade but whether it can be studied at the systems level of the human cortex has been a matter of debate. Only recently newly developed non-invasive brain stimulation techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) have made it possible to induce and assess timing dependent plasticity in conscious human subjects. This review will present a critical synopsis of these experiments, which suggest that several of the principal characteristics and molecular mechanisms of TMS-induced plasticity correspond to those of STDP as studied at a cellular level. TMS combined with a second phasic stimulation modality can induce bidirectional long-lasting changes in the excitability of the stimulated cortex, whose polarity depends on the order of the associated stimulus-evoked events within a critical time window of tens of milliseconds. Pharmacological evidence suggests an NMDA receptor mediated form of synaptic plasticity. Studies in human motor cortex demonstrated that motor learning significantly modulates TMS-induced timing dependent plasticity, and, conversely, may be modulated bidirectionally by prior TMS-induced plasticity, providing circumstantial evidence that long-term potentiation-like mechanisms may be involved in motor learning. In summary, convergent evidence is being accumulated for the contention that it is now possible to induce STDP-like changes in the intact human central nervous system by means of TMS to study and interfere with synaptic plasticity in neural circuits in the context of behavior such as learning and memory. Keywords: spike-timing dependent plasticity, long-term potentiation, long-term depression, paired associative stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation, human, cortex, translational neuroscience
- Unraveling the cellular and molecular mechanisms of repetitive magnetic stimulation (2013)
- Despite numerous clinical studies, which have investigated the therapeutic potential of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in various brain diseases, our knowledge of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying rTMS-based therapies remains limited. Thus, a deeper understanding of rTMS-induced neural plasticity is required to optimize current treatment protocols. Studies in small animals or appropriate in vitro preparations (including models of brain diseases) provide highly useful experimental approaches in this context. State-of-the-art electrophysiological and live-cell imaging techniques that are well established in basic neuroscience can help answering some of the major questions in the field, such as (i) which neural structures are activated during TMS, (ii) how does rTMS induce Hebbian plasticity, and (iii) are other forms of plasticity (e.g., metaplasticity, structural plasticity) induced by rTMS? We argue that data gained from these studies will support the development of more effective and specific applications of rTMS in clinical practice.

Chris Noel: From pinup girl to advocate for homeless vetsWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
Thousands of Vietnam veterans remember radio personality and pinup girl Chris Noel for her blonde hair, winning smile and trademark "Hi, love!"
"They usually always thank me and some of them will tell me I helped to save their lives," Noel said. "Many of them say I was the only good thing in the war. The only good thing they ever experienced was me."
Now 71, the former actress and model is still working on behalf of veterans, especially Vietnam veterans.
"My July is totally booked," Noel said, laughing. "I'm all over the country. I'm not even home. I have so many places to be. I'm a keynote speaker at one, book signings somewhere else. It's just whatever the need is."
Noel was in Northwest Ohio last month for a book signing in Sandusky. She also stopped in Toledo to visit the traveling Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall.
Noel founded Vettsville Cease Fire House, a homeless shelter for veterans, in 1993.
"Our goal is to get people housed, fed, clothed, whatever they need to get them on their way," Noel said. "I've been doing it for over 20 years and have helped thousands and thousands of men."
At one time, she had seven shelters in three Florida cities. Currently she has one men's shelter in Boynton Beach, Fla., and will soon open a shelter for female veterans in West Palm Beach, Fla.
The catalyst for Noel's advocacy was a Christmas Day 1965 visit to a San Francisco veterans hospital with California Governor Pat Brown, baseball player Sandy Koufax and others. They visited soldiers who were double- and triple-amputees.
"For some reason I was the first one to walk through the doors and frankly there was a lot of hostility and it was pretty bad," Noel said. "They had only maybe one limb left and they were bitter and angry.
"Then one of the guys in the back — he only had one arm — said 'Sandy, Sandy, throw me the ball!' So Sandy threw him the ball and the guy caught it and everybody just started laughing. And right there that minute I realized that showing you cared and were not sitting in judgment of a human being who was in desperation can make a huge difference in people's lives.
"[Afterward] in the hallway, Sandy was in front of me in tears. I was numb. I just didn't even know what to think. I had never seen anything like that. I said, 'I have to do something. I have to make a difference somehow.' It was like, 'Dear God, please help me find a way to go to Vietnam and make a difference in people's lives. How can I make a difference? What can I do?'"
Soon after there was an audition for Armed Forces Radio — which Noel now feels was an answer to her prayer.
"I had no idea what it was. It was just another audition," Noel said. "Then I got a show. I became the first woman since World War II to broadcast on Armed Forces Radio. And it was phenomenal. It was like, if you believe there is a God, which I do, I just felt like he heard me."
At first, Noel was partnered with a co-host, but was soon given her own show, "A Date with Chris."
"The moment I got on the airwaves, the mail came in," Noel said. "They just couldn't believe it. They'd never had anything like that.
"I would read and answer letters over the airwaves. I'd send pictures when they requested. People come to me all the time with the pictures they saved from Vietnam. They saved it all this time. Or their wives will contact me and say, 'You meant so much to my husband. He still has a picture of you.'"
Noel said starting the show with "Hi, love!" and ending with "Bye, love!" was the idea of a friend of a friend, a top DJ in London.
"He said, 'That's what you need to do,' and he was right," Noel said. "I always spelled it luv because it was hip in the '60s. And then one day all of a sudden it was 'Here's a kiss from Chris,' because it rhymes. People will write me all the time and say, 'I miss my kiss from Chris.' You'd think all these years they wouldn't even remember."
Noel traveled to Vietnam eight times, starting in 1966.
"They never told me where I was going so I could never blab anything and I didn't even know half the time where I was," Noel said. "They put me in a helicopter and went where they went and I got out."
"[The soldiers] just stood there silent with their mouths hanging open," Noel said. "They were pretty stunned. They couldn't believe it."
Noel has written several books detailing behind-the-scenes anecdotes from some of her films, including "Girl Happy" with Elvis Presley and "Soldier in the Rain" with Steve McQueen and Jackie Gleason.
Her most recent book, "Blond Bomb Goes to Vietnam," covers her trips to Vietnam while "Confessions of a Pin-up Girl" includes "gossipy" stories of her time on Hollywood films and TV shows along with her Vietnam experience in general.
Noel has been through her share of struggles. She believes her support of the troops in Vietnam hurt her Hollywood film career. She also struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for years following the suicide of her first husband, a soldier she met in Vietnam.
She certainly didn't expect that Christmas Day hospital visit to change the course of her life.
"I was in Hollywood making movies, are you kidding?" Noel said. "I didn't know how to do this — what I'm doing now — I didn't know how to do it at all. Nobody helped tell me how either. I just started doing it.
"All I wanted to do was try to make them happy," Noel said. "I know I made a big difference in people's lives. I know because 40 and 50 years later, they tell me. And that's exactly what I wanted to do, so I accomplished my goal. I did exactly what I wanted to do — and I still do. They still look at me and thank me and say, 'I can't believe you're still doing things to help us.'"
Although Noel said she's frequently asked why she doesn't just retire, she said she can't stop.
"It keeps me alive," Noel said. "It makes me more vital. It makes me get up when I don't want to get up. It's good for me to have an outside interest in something that makes a difference in people's lives. I feel that by doing that, when I'm doing stuff for other people, I'm out of myself.
"I feel that's why God planted us on this earth. I think we're really supposed to be helping the downtrodden. In some way, every single one of us can do it.
"Think of the people who put their life on the line for this country, who are willing to give their life for this country. They need to be taken care of. When I look at these young people coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan, oh my gosh, my heart just breaks.
"If everybody in this country would do just a little something to help another human being I think we would have a happier nation . I think we have a very sad nation now. There's a lot of sadness happening in this country now and we can brighten it if we all decide to choose to."

I got a burst of energy the other night (doesn't happen very often) and finished up this sweet quilt. My favorite part of this quilt is this little family playing ring-around-the-rosies.
This one is going to live with cousins….but we snuck in a little quilt time before we packaged it up. Someone has to make sure it works… right?
Luckily it works just fine and the texture of this one is really great. I haven't washed a new quilt for awhile and I forgot all about the anticipation of pulling a fresh quilt out of the dryer and seeing that crinkly goodness!

Stanford Invitational Final Results
After opening the outdoor season at its own Northridge Invitational on Mar. 15-16, the Matador men and women have had a busy week in both Southern and Northern California.
The week opened for CSUN at the Pasadena Games and Distance Carnival where the Matador's performed well. Among the standout performances on the men's side in Pasadena was Hunter Hays finishing first among 47 runners in the 1,500 meters. Hays clocked a season-best 3:53.82. Several of the CSUN distance runners also got their first shot at running the 5,000 meters this season with Martin Santillan posting a team-best 16:51.87.
In the 800 meters, Ezekial Glass was third in a season-best time of 1:54.79. In the field events, Derrick Harris set a season-best in the pole vault, clearing 14-1.25 (4.30).
For the women's squad in Pasadena, Samantha Dirks led the sprinters with a third-place finish in the 100 meters, finishing in a season-best 11.91. Lexis Lambert (12.04) and Chiza Eze (12.06) finished just behind Dirks. Eze also ran well in the 200 meters, posting a season-best 24.57 which was good for fourth.
Vanessa Carr clocked a season-best 2:19.36 to take third in the 800 meters while the Matador women also ran the 5,000 meters for the first time. Yvonne Castillo-Urbina had CSUN's top time winning the race in 18:19.91.
The women's side also had a pair of solid performances in the field as Niah Simmons won the high jump (5-1) and Tiana Webberley claimed the pole vault (12-7.50). Monique Griffiths had a huge PR in the discus as she defeated the field with a season-best throw of 160-3 (48.84). Jordan DuFault also PR'd in the javelin as she finished second at 117-4 (35.77) which is CSUN's best javelin mark this season.
Traveling to Stanford for the weekend, the Matadors also performed well according to head coach Avery Anderson.
"The team had a great overall weekend at Stanford," said Anderson. "The sprints went well for both the men and women and the relay and jumps also did well. I was pleased with how we competed at the meet and had a good showing as an entire team."
Carl Horsley got things off to a solid start for the men, running a blistering 10.57 in the 100 meter prelims. Nicholas DiMartino also ran a season-best 10.85 in the 100 before finishing eighth in the 200 meters, also running a season-best 21.63. Kevin Finley clocked a season-best 14.91 in the 110 hurdles to place eighth in the prelims.
In the high jump, Donovan Toban made his first appearance of the outdoor season finishing eighth at 6-5 (1.96). Toban was injured in the heptathlon at the MPSF Indoor Championships in late February. Also in the jumps, Derion Taylor finished third in a season-best 48-5.25 (14.76).
Among the throwing events, Tucker Weathers had a solid day in the shot put finishing second in a season-best 55-10.25 (17.02).
For the women, Hafsatu Kamara took eighth in the 100 meter final in a time of 11.94 which is just a shade of CSUN's season-best. Le'Shel Vines improved on her season-best in the 200 meters after clocking a time of 24.45.
Among the highlights in the field events for the women at Stanford were Jealinda Mills and Marissa Rossi finishing 1-2 in the triple jump. Mills jumped a season-best 39-1.25 (11.92) while Rossi posted a season-best of 39-0.25 (11.89).
In a discus field that included Olympian Stephanie Brown Trafton, Griffiths finished seventh despite tossing a season-best 164-11 (50.28). Mariah Counts also performed well in the discus posting a season-best 147-0 (44.80).

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton has been named honorary chairman of the U.S. bid to host the World Cup in 2018 or 2022. The question is; can a political, and more than likely part-time, figure like Clinton compare with a passionate and committed figure like David Beckham for England's bid?
Clinton's reasons for entering the fold are obvious, especially after he stated the following, "That means that if we get the (World Cup) there will be an economic stimulus estimated between $400-$600 million per host city. That will be very good for a lot of families that are still hurting, a lot of communities that are still digging out from under the current economic crisis."
A former President really has only one thing on their mind once they leave office and that is to cement their legacy. Helping to improve the economy by bringing what may be the world's greatest event to American soil, could only help him in that effort.
In order to get this bid through, will he do for the US what a passionate soccer legend like David Beckham will do for England? President Clinton is obviously a very influential figure and there is no doubt that he could have a major influence on what happens with this bid, just adding his name to it helps. But what if he was more than just an honorary figure? What if he scratched out just a few visits to some key decision makers and a press conference here or there? He could absolutely make a huge difference.
The two biggest arguments against the United States having a world cup are first; that the country doesn't need it. It's true that the United States is in a recession, but the country is still considered to be in comparatively good shape by the rest of the world. The second argument is that the US hosted a world cup only 16 years ago. When the US hosted the 1994 World Cup, the country was still a fairly virgin territory in regards to soccer. Sure, kids played in the leagues across the land and Pele and Beckenbauer stopped by in their twilight years, but at the time there was no pro league and it was predominantly considered a kid's sport. The World Cup went a long way toward changing that and it has resulted in a boom of excitement in regards to soccer in the United States. The other potential host countries will point that out and say that the US is not in need of another World Cup so soon.
So the US needs the help of a heavy hitter like Clinton, but they need more than his name. They need his charm, his effort and his action. With a suave and charismatic speaker like Clinton reminding key decision makers, in person, of the financial boom that soccer saw internationally after the US World Cup in 1994, the United States has not only a better shot at securing the tournament, but quite possibly a game winning shot. But will the former President give the time?

Is there one place that lists all of the walks and their locations and contact information? I wanted to create a blog post and figured I would put in all of the walks, but I don't have time to look through every post to figure out where each of them are and their information.
hopefully there is one already made up and I am just not seeing it.
