Google removed SearchWiki, the feature that allowed you to customize search results by promoting them, removing them or adding comments below search snippets. SearchWiki cluttered search results and the aggregated results from public SearchWiki pages were rarely useful.
SearchWiki has been replaced with a simple feature that lets you star search results. Click on a star next to a search results and you'll see it in a "starred items" OneBox at the top of the page. Another side effect is that the starred search results are added to Google Bookmarks, so you can quickly find them later. The "starred items" OneBox shows the most relevant bookmarks that match your query and it's the easiest way to search Google Bookmarks.
Those who used SearchWiki to remove search results or to add comments won't lose their changes. "If you previously removed a result, it will remain hidden whenever you do the same search in the future. These hidden results will be listed in a "removed results" section at the bottom of the page," explains Google. There's also a SearchWiki page that lists all your notes.
Even if I didn't like SearchWiki at the beginning, I ended up using this feature a lot. Adding web pages to search results pages and improving the snippets with custom annotations were a great way to refind web pages.

The Jackrabbits had their first undefeated season under Head Coach Brad Erickson. The Jackrabbits have consistently finished near the top of The Summit League year-in, year-out. During the 2012-13 season, SDSU set nine school records and had two divers qualify for zones.
With Coach Erickson leading both the men's and women's Jackrabbit swimming programs, a true family feel has been formed. All practices, workouts, meetings, goals and expectations are formed as one. The teams also get to travel together and compete side by side.
Head Coach Erickson has been with the SDSU swimming and diving program for 37 years now.
Since being named head swimming coach in 1976, Erickson has coached the Jackrabbit men to a North Central Conference championship in 1979 and the SDSU women to an NCC title in 1981. In the 2000-01 season he was named the North Central Conference Men's Swimming Coach of the Year after leading SDSU to a fourth-place finish at the conference meet. At the 2011 Summit League Championships, Erickson was named women's coach of the year after SDSU placed second in the conference.
South Dakota State is not only competitive in the pool, but they are also competitive in the community. The swimming and diving team helped to team up with the rest of the athletic department to compete in The Summit League Food Fight. The Jackrabbits won the 2013 Food Fight with a total of of 22,545.74 lbs. and it was donated to the Brookings Area Food Pantry. This marks the Jackrabbits second title of the five-year league-wide food drive after capturing the title in 2009-10 and finishing second last year.

The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina left millions homeless but it also invited widespread looting. Williamsburg County has suffered similar disasters when citizens were required to evacuate, public safety personnel are ready once they return. However, there is always room for enhancement; one being in the form of a zone dash pass. Because the issues of looting and other things that occurred after Katrina, a re-entry plan must be organized and must be done with proper credentials, said Williamsburg County Emergency Management Division (EMD) Director Tiffany Cooks during a recent presentation to Kingstree Town Council. Cooks is reaching out to municipalities as well as the citizens of the county in an effort to bring awareness to several programs being implemented or updated.
A dash pass is a form of ID that contains vital information about the person. It provides law enforcement and EMS personnel instant access to the persons address as well as other pertinent information. Therefore, when the area is cleared and its time to return home, for example, only citizens (and councilpersons representing their district) will be allowed in.
Law enforcement, EMS and fire department personnel have been wearing the credentials for several months. The passes are part of a mitigation plan that the Williamsburg County Emergency Management Division (EMD) is currently updating. FEMA states Mitigation Plans form the foundation for a communitys long-term strategy to reduce disaster losses and break the cycle of disaster damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage. Most counties already have the plan in place.
Cynthia B. Williams, EMD Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Coordinator urges everyone to take a moment to check the condition of their house or business numbers. Once we have your correct address, we have your zone, we know your section, we can issue you credentials to get back, and we can identify that there was a facility - a house, a building - there was something there if the storm should wipe it out, said Williams.
The county will begin issuing the passes August 11, with a makeup day on August 22. Citizens must provide a utility bill along with photo identification such as a drivers license with a current address in order to be issued a pass. We are protecting their property and their lives to avoid any looting and loss of things that they have worked so hard for, said Williams.
Information regarding where citizens can pick up the pass will be delivered utilizing several means such as publishing in the local newspaper and through the Code Red notification system. Code Red is an automatic calling system that enables local government to send messages to residents. Citizens can sign up for the notification simply by calling the EMD agency at (843) 354-9330.
The cost to update the plan is approximately $20,000 and is mandated by FEMA according to Cooks. Grants that will assist in the cost have been applied for. Waccamaw Regional COG will also assist in updating the plan.

- Binding - a proposed experiment and a model (1996)
- The binding problem is regarded as one of today's key questions about brain function. Several solutions have been proposed, yet the issue is still controversial. The goal of this article is twofold. Firstly, we propose a new experimental paradigm requiring feature binding, the "delayed binding response task". Secondly, we propose a binding mechanism employing fast reversible synaptic plasticity to express the binding between concepts. We discuss the experimental predictions of our model for the delayed binding response task.

The Indiana War Memorial Plaza Historic District contains two museums, three parks, and 24 acres of monuments, statues, sculptures, and fountains in the heart of downtown Indianapolis, making the state's capital second only to Washington D.C. in acreage and number of monuments dedicated to veterans. It is also home to the national and state headquarters of the American Legion. The War Memorial Commission operates these facilities in pursuit of its primary mission: to commemorate the valor and sacrifice of the United States Armed Forces and especially to honor Hoosier veterans and Indiana's role in the nation's conflicts.
Virtual Tours
SFC Sammy L. Davis, Hoosier Medal of Honor Recipient
The Indiana War Memorial unveiled a new exhibit honoring SFC Sammy Davis, Medal of Honor recipient from Indiana. Davis was awarded the Medal of Honor for "gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life and beyond the call of duty" in the defense of Firebase Cudgel during the Vietnam War, November 18, 1967. The exhibit features over a hundred artifacts and personal effects, uniform, bio, photos, artwork, and a video interview with Davis. Adjacent to the exhibit is a Vietnam firebase display containing a 105mm howitzer like the one Davis crewed. The exhibit was officially unveiled by Governor Mike Pence on May 28, 2013.
Bricks of Remembrance Program
The Indiana War Memorials Foundation has launched its "Bricks of Remembrance" program to memorialize veterans. Each brick will be engraved with the name, rank, branch and dates of service of an individual veteran, and placed at Monument Circle, the very heart of the State of Indiana and its capital city of Indianapolis. These dedicated bricks will encircle the Soldiers & Sailors Monument, ensuring that our heroes will not be forgotten by future generations. You can contribute to the placement of as many bricks as you wish for $100 tax-deductible charitable donation for each brick. Bricks will be engraved and installed on a quarterly basis. Click here to download the donation form or for more information.
Girl Scouts for Old Glory
The Indiana War Memorials Commission has partnered with the Girl Scouts of Central Indiana and the 500 Festival to collect US Flags that should be retired. The purpose of the collection is to provide a proper way of retiring the flags which will take place at the Girl Scouts summer camps where the scouts will learn the history and meaning of flag retirement. Flags were collected at the 500 Festival Parade and will continue to be collected at the Indiana War Memorial throughout the year. US Flags that are structurally damaged or faded should be respectfully disposed. This program provides for proper retirement and presents a learning opportunity for the Girl Scouts.

With a win in his final heavyweight fight, what's next for Daniel Cormier? UFC President Dana White said a meeting with recent light-heavyweight title challenger Alexander Gustafsson is possible.
Cormier (13-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC), who cruised to a shutout decision victory over Roy Nelson (19-9 MMA, 6-5 UFC) in Saturday's UFC 166 pay-per-view co-headliner, announced ahead of time that he'd drop to light heavyweight after the bout. Cormier is making the cut to avoid a likely collision with heavyweight champ and American Kickboxing Academy teammate Cain Velasquez, who knocked out Junior Dos Santos in UFC 166's headliner.
Cormier, a two-time Olympian, turned pro in 2009 and has already defeated the likes of Antonio Silva, Josh Barnett and Frank Mir. White, though, said "DC's" challenges will be no easier at light heavyweight.
White has previously said Cormier could get an immediate title shot if he made the drop, but with champion Jon Jones (19-1 MMA, 13-1 UFC) already slated to fight Glover Teixeira (22-2 MMA, 5-0 UFC) in March or April, Cormier is going to need to look elsewhere for a challenge."At 205, I don't know. I don't how he's going to fit into 205," White said. "The 205-pound division has been one of the, if not the, nastiest division in the UFC forever. Guys are faster. A lot of guys are taller in that division. It's just not an easy division to cut down to."
When asked if Gustafsson (15-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC), who lost a narrow split decision to Jones this past month at UFC 165, is a possible opponent, White's eyebrows raised, and he slowly nodded his head.
That potential bout, likely to be a title eliminator, would pit Cormier's dominant wrestling and improved standup game against Gustafsson's proven striking abilities and shored-up takedown defense. It'll also crown a very clear No. 1 contender for after the Jones-Teixeira title fight."Yeah," he said matter of factly.
And though White believes Cormier has his work cut out for him at light heavyweight, where Jones has ruled an increasingly competitive group of contenders, he believes the 34-year-old is entering the division with real momentum.
"I thought Cormier looked a million percent better than in the fight he had against Frank Mir," White said. "He wrestled [Nelson]. He beat him standing up. He was kicking more than Roy, who just standing there getting lit up."

One of my favourite blushers, Taj Mahal by Nars is a super flattering orange shade with a beautiful golden finish. It's so easy to use, highly pigmented and long wearing (approx 7 hours). The more you blend out the more it actually works as a good highlighter too. Love this!

I find it easy to overdo due to the pigmentation, but very easy to apply and to sheer out with my 182 kabuki by MAC. I really cannot find anything wrong with this blush. If you are olive/warm toned you will love this blush! It you have pores or hate shimmer, I would suggest trying it on before buying. I personally have no issues with it. A great value for the price!

NARS Taj Mahal Blush ($29.00 for 0.16 oz.) is described as a "blazing burnt orange with golden shimmer." It's a bold, vibrant orange with a hint of red and a golden shimmer-sheen. Wet 'n' Wild Golden Goddess is more subdued, browner. MAC Center of the Universe is also more muted and browner. MAC My Paradise is more coral/red. Jasmine Rajah (which is an eyeshadow) is very similar but has a subtler golden sheen.


text: Aveda Jade Vine Petal Essence Eye Definer ($16.00 for 0.04 oz.) is described as a "matte, bright, grass green." It's a yellow-toned, medium green with a matte finish. MAC Emerald Sea is less pigmented. Make Up For Ever #16L is darker, cooler-toned. MAC Landscape Green is darker, brighter. See comparison swatches.

Beard: What Marvel Studios should do nextWritten by Jim Beard | | email@example.com
With Marvel Studios' mining of more off-the-wall Marvel comic book properties, a la the upcoming "Guardians of the Galaxy" feature film and the "Agents of SHIELD" television series, their "can-do-no-wrong" gives hope to fanboys everywhere that personal favorites may one day find their way to a big-budget, live-action productions.
Here's a quick rundown of a few Marvel characters ripe for exploitation:
Namor the Sub-Mariner: Literally Marvel's oldest character, Namor's the half-human, half-Atlantean King of the Sea you love to hate. If they gave his movie an exotic air and a "Pirates of the Caribbean" feel, the studio would be swimming in an ocean of money.
Black Panther: Sure, that name alone could give Disney fits, but the Panther's pedigree as the first black superhero and his fascinating jungle milieu should allow this classy character to rise above it all and swing with the big boys on the silver screen.
Doctor Strange: Stephen Strange is quite literally the Sorcerer Supreme, the foremost magic-wielder on Earth and throughout all dimensions. Marvel has yet to broach the subject of magic in their films, but the doc's prestidigitation and pathos could make some mighty magic at the box office.
She-Hulk: Marvel has few female heroes of note — essentially, they have no Wonder Woman of their own — but the story of the Hulk's cousin would make a cool vehicle for a buff beauty to strut her stuff and go green. Did you know that actress Brigitte Nielsen was going to make a She-Hulk film in the 1980s? Google it!
The Inhumans: This strange family of mutated oddballs is about to come into their own in the comics, so Marvel should fast-track them to the big screen to capitalize on their latest round of notoriety. With a leader whose barest whisper can shatter mountains, a lovely lady with living locks, a martial artist, a super-stomper, and an aquatic ace, the Inhumans pack it all in for everyone's tastes.
Power Man and Iron Fist: Speaking of martial artists, Marvel's premiere kung-fu'er and his powerhouse partner Luke Cage could pave the way for a new resurgence in buddy films. Fist's the greatest champion of an other-dimensional city and Luke's the hunky yet hot-headed hero of Harlem — what's not to love?
Howard the Duck: Forgive and forget. Open your hearts and you will believe a duck can say "Waaugh!"

The Battery Conservancy invites students and professionals from the Americas (Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean), to design an iconic moveable outdoor seating element. The winning design will be fabricated for use at The Battery, the 25-acre park at the tip of Manhattan which annually welcomes six million visitors.
Why a Moveable Chair?
As the great urban theorist William Holly Whyte discovered: "Chairs enlarge choice: to move into the sun, out of it, to make room for groups, move away from them. If you know you can move if you want to, you feel more comfortable staying put." The Battery's movable chairs will delight while they invite, animating the park and making it Downtown's central meeting place.

Join with others from the Haverford Community for a half hour of open worship in the manner of Friends (Quakers). A time for quiet reflection together and holding the larger community in our hearts and minds.
In calm and cool and silence, once again
I find my old accustomed place among
My brethren, here, perchance, no human tongue
Shall utter words; where never hymn is sung,
Nor deep-toned organ blown, nor censer swung
Nor dim light falling through the pictured pane!
There, syllabled by silence, let me hear
The still small voice which reached the prophets ear;
Read in my heart a still diviner law
Than Israel's leader on his tables saw!
here let me strive with each besetting sin,
Recall my wandering fancies, and restrain
the sore disquiet of a restless brain;
And, as the path of duty is made plain,
May grace be given that I may walk therein,
Not like the hireling, for his selfish gain,
With backward glanced and reluctant tread,
Making a merit of his coward dread,
But, Cheerful, in the light around me thrown,
Walking as one to pleasant service led;
Doing God's will as if it were my own,
Yet trusting not in mine, but in His strength alone!

Amazon Glitch Unmasks War of Reviewers
By AMY HARMON
Published: February 14, 2004
Close observers of Amazon.com noticed something peculiar this week: the company's Canadian site had suddenly revealed the identities of thousands of people who had anonymously posted book reviews on the United States site under signatures like "a reader from New York."
The weeklong glitch, which Amazon fixed after outed reviewers complained, provided a rare glimpse at how writers and readers are wielding the online reviews as a tool to promote or pan a book — when they think no one is watching.
John Rechy, author of the best-selling 1963 novel "City of Night" and winner of the PEN-USA West lifetime achievement award, is one of several prominent authors who have apparently pseudonymously written themselves five-star reviews, Amazon's highest rating. Mr. Rechy, who laughed about it when approached, sees it as a means to survival when online stars mean sales.
"That anybody is allowed to come in and anonymously trash a book to me is absurd," said Mr. Rechy, who, having been caught, freely admitted to praising his new book, "The Life and Adventures of Lyle Clemens," on Amazon under the signature "a reader from Chicago." "How to strike back? Just go in and rebut every single one of them."
Mr. Rechy is in good company. Walt Whitman and Anthony Burgess both famously reviewed their own books under assumed names. But several modern-day writers said the Internet, where anyone from your mother to your ex-agent can anonymously broadcast an opinion of your work, has created a more urgent need for self-defense.
Under Amazon's system, any user may submit a review without publicly providing any personal information (or evidence of having read the book). The posting of real names on the Canadian site was for many a reminder that anonymity on the Internet is seldom a sure thing.
"It was an unfortunate error," said Patricia Smith, an Amazon spokeswoman. "We'll examine whatever happened and make sure it won't happen again."
But even with reviewer privacy restored, many people say Amazon's pages have turned into what one writer called "a rhetorical war," where friends and family members are regularly corralled to write glowing reviews and each negative one is scrutinized for the digital fingerprints of known enemies.
One well-known writer admitted privately — and gleefully — to anonymously criticizing a more prominent novelist who he felt had unfairly reaped critical praise for years. She regularly posts responses, or at least he thinks it is her, but the elegant rebuttals of his reviews are also written from behind a pseudonym.
Numbering 10 million and growing by tens of thousands each week, the reader reviews are the most popular feature of Amazon's sites, according to the company, which also culls reviews from more traditional critics like Publishers Weekly. Many authors applaud the democracy of allowing readers to voice their opinions, and rejoice when they see a new one posted — so long as it is positive.
But some authors say it is ironic that while they can for the first time face their critics on equal footing, so many people on both sides choose to remain anonymous. And some charge that the same anonymity that encourages more people to discuss books also spurs them to write reviews that they would never otherwise attach their names to.
Jonathan Franzen, author of "The Corrections," winner of the National Book Award, said that a first book by Tom Bissell last fall was "crudely and absurdly savaged" on Amazon in anonymous reviews he believed were posted by a group of writers whom Mr. Bissell had previously written about in the literary magazine The Believer.
"With the really flamingly negative reviews, I think it's always worth asking yourself what kind of person has time to write them," Mr. Franzen said. "I know that the times when I've been tempted to write a nasty review online, I have never had attractive motives." Mr. Franzen declined to say whether he had ever given in to such temptation.
The suspicion that the same group of writers, known as the Underground Literary Alliance, had anonymously attacked his friend Heidi Julavits prompted the novelist Dave Eggers to write a review last August calling Ms. Julavits's first novel "one of the best books of the year."
Mr. Eggers, whose memoir, "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius," made him a literary celebrity, chose to post his review as "a reader from St. Louis, MO." But the review appeared under the name "David K Eggers" on Amazon's Canadian site on Monday, and Mr. Eggers confirmed by e-mail that he had written it.
"I've done that one or two times before, when I like a book and the reviews on Amazon seem bizarre," Mr. Eggers said. "In this case I just tried to bring back some balance."
Michael Jackman of the Alliance, which champions "underground writing" and has been critical of contemporary writers' focus on themselves rather than the wider world, called the presumption that his group had written the anonymous reviews "the height of arrogance."
"It's interesting that they find some negative reviews and assume that the reason for it must be partisan ax-grinding and not real taste," Mr. Jackman said. "I mean, there's no accounting for taste, is there?" Whether it is arrogance, paranoia or simply common sense, positive reviews come under suspicion, too.

I'm starting to sleep better — partially because I'm feeling better physically.
Yes, the small steps I've already taken to get healthier are starting to pay off. But my ability to sleep again has more to do with my alma mater, the University of Tennessee, hiring a football coach Friday.
Time will tell whether Butch Jones will return the Vols to their past glory, but for now he has a clean slate.
Tennessee wasn't the only Southeastern Conference team seeking a new coach these last few weeks. Arkansas, Auburn and Kentucky also had fired their coaches and sought the right fit for their school.
Football fans have watched things unfold as Arkansas got former Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema, Auburn named Gus Malzahn the new coach, Kentucky, Mark Stoops and Tennessee finished off a frantic few weeks with Jones.
We might be in Okaloosa County, Florida, but the Southeastern Conference's reach and appeal stretches far beyond our county's borders.
If you drive through a parking lot at any large retailer, you will probably see cars with bumper stickers, decals or license plates that proclaim an association with any or all of the four schools listed above.
And don't think fans of the four schools were the only ones watching the searches unfold.
Alabama fans wanted to see who would fill vacancies at Auburn and Tennessee, the Crimson Tide's two biggest rivals.
Early last week, I received an email from Crestview principal Bob Jones, a former Kentucky football player. While the email focused on another issue, he also asked how the coaching search at Tennessee was going.
Butch Jones reportedly declined offers from Kentucky, Purdue and Colorado, hoping Tennessee would fall into his lap. His patience paid off when the Volunteers came calling following two or three other coaches' rejections.
I didn't watch the press conferences introducing Bielema, Malzahn or Stoops, but I watched the Tennessee press conference introducing Butch Jones as the new man dedicated to lead the Vols. Jones said all the right things about winning in the classroom and on the field. He spoke of winning both conference and national championships.
I'm sure the other coaches said similar things as they embraced the challenge of SEC coaching and the big checks that go with it.
While Alabama fans count down the days until the Tide plays Notre Dame for the National Championship early next month, and other fans from across the SEC look forward to a bowl game, Arkansas, Auburn, Kentucky and Tennessee fans await the spring for more football.
We will follow the hiring of assistant coaches and the recruiting of new and better players. Our hope is for better days ahead as we wait for next year.

What could be better than pizza? Tiny pizza on a stick, of course! Is there really anything else that needs to be said?
Try these yummy pizza pops and never get your hands greasy again.
Step 1: Ingredients
After much deliberation about the best way to stickify pizza, it became clear (via the Oracle randofo) that bagel pizza was the only true and good way to go.
And since I can't resist making food as cute as possible, I chose to go with mini bagels. Which leads us to other mini ingredients! Tiny tomatoes, string cheese, tiny mozzarella balls, baby basil leaves, and a pepperoni stick round out this project beautifully.
You're also gonna need some good sticks, and don't forget your favorite sauce!
Step 2: Chop your Toppings
Take your tiny foods and make them even smaller. Slice everything thinly so it will cook quickly and evenly.
Search out the tiniest leaves of basil near the middle of your stems. Choose the ones that never got the chance to reach their full potential and make them the star of the show!
Step 3: Toast your Bagels
I don't have a toaster, so I used my broiler to crispen up the bagels before ladening them with sauce and toppings.
Step 4: Assemble Mini Bagel Pizzas
Starting with sauce, assemble the toppings as you see fit. A little bit of time and care will ensure the cutest pizzas possible.
Step 5: Bake
Bake your mini bagel pizzas at 400oF (200C) for 10-12 minutes.
I didn't put the sticks in before baking. I leave this choice up to you, my educated audience. It may, in fact, be easier to skewer the bagels before they even get toasted, as I encountered some resistance when trying to put the sticks in after baking. On the other hand, I didn't want to risk burning my paper sticks. Do as you see fit.
Can you put them in a freezer and just defrost them when u need them?
I want to open a pizza on a stick shop so I'm thinking what is the best and the fastest way to make them in mass production. By mass production i mean 50pizzas in 5 min.
your instructions are the best! :)
thank you so much ^^
BTW good tip using a slow shutter and moving the backdrop to smooth out the texture, i'll have to try it for macro or for eBay stuffs.
Thanks for the great idea!
Bonus: now there is one more Food on a Stick in the world!
BTW I thought you like to do veg stuff, I think I see meat products. Yum : D

The API Engine Oil Licensing and Certification System ensure that licensed oils are of consistent quality and performance WW. Additionally, as more renewable and alternative fuels are introduced into the market, impact of these fuels on engine oils form of degradation and oil drain intervals need to remain on the radar of customers and engine manufacturers.
This webinar will describe the main factors responsible for oil quality and performance, the evolution of the API oil program, the API licensing process, HD oil API category currently under development and challenges for off-road engine oils. Additionally, brief introduction into the alternative fuels and impacts on engine oils will be presented.

There were two men who where sent by God to do good in an inner city. One was a Universalist, the other a Damnationalist.The Universalist spent his time teaching people that God would be all in all, teaching doctrines, and revealing apologetics to the unclothed, unfed, prostitutes, drug dealers, pimps, and homeless. He pointed out the errors in the King James bible, and laid out the information concerning Aion, and Olam - tore down the idol of Calvinism, and burned the Asherah pole of Arminianism, and denounced the Hell that is Molech before their eyes!Ah, a mighty warrior indeed, a great soldier for the faith! God's man of power for the hour! Tearing down false doctrines, and calling fire from Heaven before the priests of the Baalim!The Damnationalist brought food, water, clothes, and information on half-way houses, prayed for the sick, prayed for the needy, prayed for deliverance of these people from Hell, and taught them that Christ loved them so much that he gave his only begotten son to free them from Hell if they should only believe and say the sinner's prayer.His doctrine on Hell was wrong, he was semi-calvinistic, yet believed staunchly that in order to be saved one must accept Christ and confess or Hell is their home.The Universalist converted none, the hungry, the naked, the whore, the druggie, the pimp, the poor - they were deaf to his preaching, and all were ignorant of what he was saying, it was almost as if he were speaking in a dead language long lost.The Damnationalist drew many to their knees; the hungry were full, the naked were warm, the whore, and druggie had hope of escape, the pimp saw his error, and the poor saw the Gospel proved by action - they received the preaching, and everyone had some inkling of what Heaven was, especially now that they had a taste of Hope that is the very air of Heaven itself, many gave their lives to the service of their Lord that day.Now, the Universalist was right in his doctrine, the Damnationalist was not. The Universalist had knowledge, and doctrine and shared it, the Damnationalist though wrong in his doctrines and not all that wise at all, had fruit, and shared it.God desires fruit, over correct doctrine. The Spirit is Life, and the Spirit bears fruit, the Letter kills...God would rather have a generous fool who shares his bounty, than a scribe who shares naught but the letter and his interpretation of it - You see, God can teach the fool, and have a double blessing of a son who is as generous as he is wise. But the one who is wise in his own heart, and correct in his doctrine even, but has yet to share from his own bounty...what use is he to God's purposes? Little.God would rather you be on the right way, but not yet have arrived, than to be right in your studies, while your heart is far from him.
Its okay WillieH, various groups and people had a lot of trouble with Jesus' parables too. And I being his servant, why should I expect to not have the same reactions as my master, The Lord Jesus Christ son of Yahweh. :)
And like the parables of Christ, some are don't understand its meaning. Some however, got it easily. ^^

We Also Recommend
Holiness (kedushah) in Judaism is a theological concept that has often borne a social agenda. In directing the Israelites in how to attain holiness, the Torah portrays holiness as both a quality inherent in the Deity and a goal for people to strive for. "You shall be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy," we read at the beginning of the "Holiness Code" in Leviticus 19.
Ways to Be Holy
That exhortation is preceded by a list of prohibited sexual relations and followed by a list of restrictions on the way one relates to business associates, neighbors, hired laborers, and the handicapped, as well as "ritual" restrictions on such activities as eating fruit from a young tree, eating blood, and practicing sorcery–all bearing the motive clause, "I am the Lord."
The thrust of all these is summarized in Leviticus 20:26: "You shall be holy to Me, for I, the Lord, am holy, and I have set you apart from other peoples to be Mine."
The uniqueness of the Israelite people is to be safeguarded by laws that set them apart from neighboring nations, and the Torah warns that violation of those restrictions will lead to the exile: "You shall faithfully observe all My laws and regulations, lest the land to which I bring you to settle in spew you out" as it did Israel's predecessors there] (Leviticus 20:22-23). Proper behavior, then, would induce and protect the holiness of Israel.
Since that behavior, while difficult to maintain, was conceived of as "not in the heavens," attainable without super human effort, the gulf between a holy life and a profane life was neither unbridgeable nor permanent. The Bible anticipates a time when life–for Israel and all peoples–would be consecrated in its fullness.
Holiness and Separation
Despite the separatist tendency in the rhetoric of the Bible's treatment of holiness, the ways in which holiness came to be attributed to persons, objects, places, and times in Biblical religion were markedly similar to those of other ancient Near Eastern cultures. Holiness is imparted and maintained through ritual,prayer, formal declaration, and the avoidance of specific "abominations."

The sales promotion service industry in USA provides its clients with well-designed promotional marketing solutions that include consumer sales promotions, trade promotions, sales incentive programs and much more. According to recent news, the US sales promotion services industry has achieved a phenomenal growth.
The US sales promotion services industry includes about 4,500 establishments (single-location companies and branches of multi-location companies) with combined annual revenue of about $13 billion. Major companies include subsidiaries of large marketing firms such as Carlson Marketing and subsidiaries of major advertising agencies such as Omnicom and WPP. The industry is fragmented: the top 50 companies account for less than 30 percent of industry revenue. Companies in the sales promotion services industry provide promotional products imprinted with the name, logo, and/or marketing message of clients.
Competitive Landscape
Demand is driven by economic growth and by corporate profits. The profitability of individual companies depends on efficient order fulfillment and marketing. Large companies have economies of scale in procurement and the ability to offer other marketing services. Small companies specialize by type of sales promotion product and differentiate themselves on customer service, particularly speed of delivery.
Products, operations and Technology
Major products are shirts, writing instruments, desk/office accessories, glassware, and caps/headgear, all customized with the customer's name, logo, and/or message. Other products include sporting goods, bags, magnets, and stickers and decals.
Sales promotion services companies have offices with showrooms to display the products and services offered. Companies process a large number of small custom-imprinted orders. Customers place an order with the sales promotion firm, which then orders the items from various suppliers that engrave, imprint, or embroider the logo or marketing message.

Yeah, I'll make a prophecy that we the people of America are going to haveone heckuva ride from this day forward.
and so I just go to a friend's facebook page and the first thing i see posted is this; Psalm 121:7-8 The LORD will keep you from all harm he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.What do you think that LITERALLY and fully means? Can it possibly mean that God's children will never be involved in heartache, loss, injury? Again, I think of the early Christians being eaten by lions. So that calls to me to be perhaps a deeper meaning..all the things we consider harm, are not really harm? Because it's all spiritual, i.e., even if this body is torn to bits, our spirit is in His hands and the temporal fades in comparison to the real and the "eternal"? Through it all, His peace that passes all understanding comforts us - peace that the world doesn't know nor can take away? Thoughts?
There was once a psychologist that was not very successful. He tried all the latest techniques but still had a "success rate of about 10%, just slightly less than average. He became despondent. Never much of a religious man he heard about a Rabbi that was having great success after just one visit. He went to the Rabbi and asked him what it was he told people.The Rabbi replied, "I tell them to get an updated easy to read version of Psalms and proverbs and then to read 5 chapters of Psalms a day and one chapter of proverbs. This gets them through All of Psalms and Proverbs in one month. I've never had anyone come back for more help after 2 months of this program."

All the symbols relating to despotic control of the world's economies in Revelation, will already have been in place & initiated many years before the 70th week begins. Death panels of the healthcare systems, food rationing, energy rationing, and control of monetary systems will be so systemic that those of us alive today would scarcely recognize the world system that will exist 50 years from now.

Investigate the World of Fireborn With Agent Scott Baker
Read the Second Chapter of Ritual of Fire, an Upcoming Novel
In the world of Fireborn, powerful scions of an age of high fantasy walk the streets of modern London, oblivious to their true nature. Unknowingly, they carry within them the spirits of reincarnated dragons. Ritual of Fire, an upcoming novel written by Jordan Ellinger, follows MI5 agent Scott Baker in the streets of London.
When we last left agent Baker, he had barely escaped the blaze of an incendiary bomb, but there was more than the burning building that threatened his life. Now, he has begun to suspect a terrifying truth. Something seems to be taking control of London's most influential leaders, and that shocking discovery has thrust Baker into a fight for his life. What mystical force is behind this apparent takeover? How does it relate to Baker's increasingly disturbing visions?
Burning Questions and Burnt Buildings
In the second chapter of Ritual of Fire, agent Baker attempts to relate the fantastic events that took place within the burning building to the suspicious London authorities. How did Baker survive where so many others did not? Terrifying visions plague the exhausted agent, and the mystery surrounding Elsa Green deepens.
Download the second chapter (pdf, 299 kb) of Ritual of Fire, and keep checking back for news of its release at the end of the month!

LAURENS, S.C. (AP) - A county Republican group in South Carolina wants its candidates to promise to not cheat on their spouses and not watch pornography. But the state GOP says it would be illegal to keep candidates off the ballot only because they refuse to sign the pledge.
Bobby Smith, the chairman of the Laurens County Republicans, says the "purity pledge" endorsed by the group last month is meant to encourage good values in the party's candidates. He says it won't prevent anyone from getting on the ballot.
The pledge would require candidates to promise they have not had premarital sex and will protect gun rights and oppose abortion, among other things.
The state Republican party says it would be illegal to enforce such a pledge.

I liked the article and I think Warhammer is a rich and interesting IP, regardless of what I think of the game. I don't think they could ever run out of stuff to build off of as Warhammer has been around for 20+ years. I think it is up to 25 years now?
Yet, I do not agree.
WAR was boring and still repetitive.
Right now the genre as a whole has no new ideas. So, the fact that such a clone of WoW could be considered so "innovative" due to changing some mechanics really shows how far we have sunk for entertainment.
The reason Mythic got it right is they took no bold steps, no major moves to try and be different. But, as a whole they do capture the IP's visual style, though slightly muddy and gritty, and not very hi-res.
But mechanically, it is still the same grind gameplay underneath a new "slightly different" shell
Just an alternate view of a game that does not suck, yet does nothing to excite either.

There are no WoW clones. There are only Ultima Online and EverQuest 1 clones.
It becomes tiresome that everyone nowadays bashes down games of being WoW clones.
That's simply not true! WoW was nothing new either. Blizzard just took the right bits from previous MMO's and used that as foundation for their MMO. Nothing more, nothing less.
And WoW isn't perfect either! There are plenty of flaws in WoW as well. Especially today.
No game is perfect! Just like WAR isn't perfect either!

To the OP: Well said and well written. I totally agree.
There are so many MMO's to chose from, and they all try to use the "best" features that make the top MMO's great. Therefore, they're all similiar in some ways in that they have a quest journal, factions at war, the archetypical classes, etc.
Therefore I pick my MMO's by the IP, or "which world do I want to be a part of?". I thoroughly enjoy the Warhammer IP so I relish the chance to live in that world, even in its early stages.
For those familiar with Warhammer, they've only implemented about 30% of the actual content of the IP. Give this game time to grow, and it'll have FAR more content than WoW.
Plus it doesn't look like a #$% $#^& cartoon haha.

That's what good about this game you don't feel like somebodies sidekick, you do really feel more powerful as it goes on and if you learn and read up on the lore you start gaining alot from it, ofcourse I play on an RP server so I look at the world different and not just endgame but a process. I saw a video where Paul says it's more than just an mmo it's entire hobby the way you get into it and what they are aiming for and I'm finding this to be true and fun more and more everyday.

WoW is seamless, but at a cost of detail. AoC is high detail, but at a cost of seamlessness.
Even being seamless isn't true in WoW's case. Zones are still loaded as needed, and a whole world isn't actaully made ready. Loading a whole world into Ram/Vram would be handy I imagine.
The innovations in MMOs have pushed up to, and even past what our current hardware can handle.
I think, without new technology, we won't see too many changes. All of that will be code, and even that will be slow as they need to do a test-fail-test-fail process. An MMO will try something, fail, then the next MMO will get it right... or fail... then the next....
Don't expect any new innovations in our lifetime...
Unless technology gets improved out of necessity... like a major war.

There is far too much "Fanboy" in this particular article for me to give it any credence whatsoever.
Anyone who tries to talk about IP and suggests in the first few paragraphs that sticking to the IP is a bad idea is well off base.
I played LotRO - I quit because there was very little to do once you'd completed the leveling process (it's the only game where I've heard fans say the best way to play it is to not play as much). I however did greatly respect the choice to make the world "feel" authentic. The mistake Turbine is making is compromising their product with the introduction of a generic lightning-bolting wizard class into the game - all to try and entice the "oooh shiny particles" crowd.
I play WAR now - I keep playing because the game is feature complete from start to finish. There is an end-game that I am working towards, whereas with LotRO there was nothing past the top level. WAR left some things out - sure, but what's there appears to work correctly and has many things to do at all levels. What's there suits the IP - particles and all.
Oh - and epic? Because you can change the world? What MMO is this? I'm pretty sure Arthas (or whoever) is still standing in the same place as when you were last there. MMOs by definition cannot have epic stories in the vein of high fantasy books or movies. Everyone has to go through the same gates.
In many respects, LotRO's use of instanced storytelling gets a lot closer to granting an epic feel than any other game before it. The sporadic chapter instances (though poorly laid out in terms of progression) did certainly succeed in bringing the experience into a more personal realm than most other games I've played - WAR included.

The only time you run out of chances is when you stop taking them.
Considering Warhammer has 25 yrs of personalized, customized figures the game was a huge let down in this area. Everyone looks the same. limitations in colours, physical apperance and character creation. Nothing like the table top. What would of been neat is using different shades of colour for example. That is a failure to not use the full potential of the IP. I remember painting a figure when I was 10. I could choose how they looked. In warhammer its pretty limiting in this area. I have all the fighting fantasy books by Steve Jackson and Ian livingstone - when Games Workshop got up and running proper, there were some great idea's floating around, when i think back to the descriptive narratives to the lore and compare them with my bulk, 5 frame character online in 2008 can't help but be dissapointed..
The worst thing is that neither Lotro nor AoC have the world reset on them. Static objects (keeps) in the same place all the time.
The author clearly thinks that to play AoC for example is to be King. It's not, your playing during a specific time frame of the lore. Its not built on him himself, it's built on the world / lore, so judging it from the correct perspective is different from the author's, and therefore falls flat face down.
Age of Conan has over 75 yrs of lore to draw from and many of the quests reflect situations throughout all that timeline. Lotro has similar aspects. In tabletop warhammer, you don't quest. Lotro and AoC's lore is based around literature and not a game. It's literature is what made the IP of those games and that it draws from this in more ways that warhammer due to the richness of it but of its extensivity.
The Author says in regards to AoC: "mostly due to lack content issues, repetitive content and a few other general content oriented problems."
Are you telling me that you don't find warhammer repetitive? Would be nice to specify other general content oriented problems?
The number one thing for me is that AoC and LOTRO both have persistant and dynamic worlds that are always evolving using their individual IP's. Warhammer Online comes to a stop at some point then the whole thing starts again.
If there is one thing the world of videogames has taught us, it's that a good story can make a great game. What do you remember from games like Knights of the Old Republic or Baldur's Gate? Is it the simple combat mechanics, the UI, or the well written characters and compelling plot? There is no price you can place on drawing in your audience to a fictional world they feel a part of and bringing life to pixelated creations. This in its basic form is lacking in warhammer for me.
AoC and LOTRO also offer a decent RP experience, with a lot of emotes, area's and mechanics to enhance this. Right now War is lacking in this area. Where can I go to soak it all up? If I stand around I am not really playing the game as intended. AoC and LOTRO have taverns for example.
How many people do you know in games like EQ2 and LOTRO that just click right thru the quest dialogue? If you are mainly motivated by achievements such as levels, skills, or gear then extensive lore actually becomes a hindrance to playing and causes dissatisfaction. Warhammer throws some of these things at the player right off the bat.
Those who do read lore, looking at the amount of time spent in gameplay, how much is actually spent exploring and reading? How often are areas sought out or stories pondered on in the course of an adventure? Are even the most devout of players really concerned with the meager tale of a farmer attacked by bandits? Do we really have an option of not stopping an invading army and does it matter why they are invading? When I played warhammer it was all about things trying to be accessible, which has its downside too. You wonder into a PQ and pick it up part way through, you just do it and move on with the goods. If it gives you good exp then you repeat it, not many are there for the lore and thats a shame.

I'd like to preface this by saying I am a fan and paying subscriber of WAR. With that aside, I am worried about the future I might have in WAR for one reason: War is everywhere.
One might ask, "Gee...what is so bad about war being everywhere?" Well, if you are a part-time gamer who logs in an hour or two to advance your character, probably nothing. However, if you spend many hours a day or week in the world, or you have done all there is to do at max level or are bored with the RvR, there is no place to just "relax".
In real life, no one wants to live in a war torn nation. We like the tranquil plains, hills, and mountains. We love nature or perhaps the action of a bustling city. The point I'm making is that without an end to conflict, the game remains in a perpetual state of war, which means the players character can never relax.
The only solution to this is to actually have an end to the war or to release non-war torn areas in expansions that players can adventure, explore and make seperate lives in. I guess the difference between me and other gamers is why we PvP. I PvP to help my side achieve victory. If victory is nowhere in sight, fighting becomes dull and depressing. People not like me PvP, because they love the action. They don't care about the social aspects of a game really as I do.
Only time will tell how the game being in a constant war setting will effect the longevity of a player's subscription. The one thing I loved about DAoC is that the game was a world to live in. You could seperate the conflict of the war between the three realms and your characters' individual life. I could explore the Highlands one day, which are peaceful, but not without their own adventures and threats; the next, I could go into the frontiers to support my realm in the ongoing struggle. Every zone in WAR that I've encountered was full of war against your opposing faction. If not in PvE, it was warring in PvP. No where was it really safe to just adventure and let loose.

Mythic did introduce new features in WAR and if you're too blind to see them, well whatever.

Is it really appropriate for one correspondent to attack another correspondent's writing? It doesn't seem professional to have employees for the same company at each others throats.

A good article but there is one important point that seemed to be missed. Warhammer was an IP *created* to support a game. In this case, GamesWorkshop's table-top miniature battles. All the Warhammer art, novels, comics and such were produced for one purpose - to promote a setting that would allow GW to sell more lead figures.
The brilliance of GW was making sure all that Warhammer art and novels and comics were cool and well-done and not just cheap junk drummed out for marketing purposes.
Conan and Lord of the Rings were novels and they had only one purpose – to tell a story. Turbine and Funcom failed to understand how these IP's would restrict their games. They just got all excited, like so many on these forums, about how great those stories were and they, along with so many on these forums, mistakenly assumed that a great story would have to make a great game.
I agree with AmazingAvery that there have been incredible stories told through video games. But those stories were *created* for their games. Knights of the Old Republic's storyline was made specifically for Bioware's RPG. It had one purpose, to help the game tell the story. Having an IP designed for a game makes it far more likely for the game and story to end up working well together.
Translating a novel into something else, whether a game or comic book or a movie, is a much, much riskier process and it tends to fail far more than it succeeds. You see the same problem when people try to translate stories made for video games into movies.
Since the Warhammer IP was designed to support a game, GW allowed Mythic to make divergences in the lore (female dwarfs running around, inability of any Destruction races to betray each other etc). Mythic just had to convince GW that the changes were needed to make a better game and GW understood that.
Warhammer did what it has always done, provide a fun setting for gamers whether computer or tabletop. Mythic's single smartest move was picking this IP to make a MMORPG. The rest of their smart moves involved all the decisions that go into making a decent game.
We've seen far too few MMORPG developers that seem capable of making smart decisions recently.

All I have to say is sorry I hurt your feeling and you felt the need to patronize.
1. I did have some experience with the models at an early age. The point I am making is every class looks the basic same to that class, when much more could be done. Dying clothes in war is limited to certain area's on the specific piece itself, and not the whole. It lacks in the area of real life decoration in freedom of choosing where especially at the start of the game. In AoC for example or even lotro you get a set amount of choices but they are more extensive. I got up to level 15 on one guy and found 1 green and 1 grey dye int he world. On the tabletop game you don't lay your guys out naked do you.. When I create a character fresh in war I feel let down considering the relation to the IP. Its all about personalization and it's lacking at the start. The level of detail lacks. Thats how I feel from experience.
2. It doesn't matter later on what they do, the game is how it is right now in terms of sieges. In AoC I have plots, I can move buildings around, In war it is static. I never build it, it destroys, it appears out of the ashes brand new again the next day. Considering the IP in Warhammer is all about being hands on in design - this area fails for me. Do you not buy your GW mag and it has write ups on constructing all sorts of things for the tabe top game? Where is this in line with the lore in War - its good but it could of been a lot more. It's about knowing what to do each and everytime for a keep, there is no flexibility in war. Table top maps are hand crafted, in warhammer.... You do what you have to do in the game, eventually it resets, I don't know whats so hard to understand here, and the cycle begins again.
3. WAR still lacks area's to RP in. Lacks emotes, lacks chat etc etc. When you want to embrace the lore its quite hard to do on the battlefield.
4. In AoC I open quest tab and read all the previous quests I have done summary :) Doing those a lot of those quests is about the lore, or taken directly from. If I want to know more because in AoC it was displayed to me in a more captivating way then I would go pick a book up from the creator of swords and sorcery..
I am here with a difference of an opinion in some area's not to argue or belittle. Thanks.
Ultimately the article is a "my game is better because..." but never fleshes out things for the other games to the level of detail to the particular game in question.
