Consumers Report professes to be objective but I have seen them get known, proven (personal experience) facts wrong about cars. My perception is CR favors Japanese brands that serve the needs of conservative consumers as "appliances". There's a place for this but no passion in these (Toyota, etc.) vehicles. I have never seen them say much of anything positive about Jeep. When the 2014 Cherokee was introduced, CR said: "half-baked effort". That is a total "slam" and an unnecessary, opinionated degrading of the brand. CR said the engine in the 2007 Chevy Tahoe was "course" (V-8, runs like a dream) but the Yukon and Suburban did not have this problem. (Guys, they all have the same 5.3L V-8). CR brings up good points on occasion, but they are essentially arcaic and have little cred with me.0 · · Share on FacebookApril 2014

What business is CNN in? Is it the business of informing viewers of what's happening in the world? Or is it the business of keeping them looking at a screen long enough to show them several commercials?
This is not a facetious question, and it's one worth a fresh look as the network embarks under a new era under Jeff Zucker. Conventional wisdom says CNN is in the latter business, and doing rather poorly at it.
Conventional critiques — and I admit to having authored my share of them — say that CNN has been steadily losing ground over the past decade to Fox News and MSNBC, with their lineups of primetime opinion shows. These shows are ideal, from their networks' perspectives, because viewers who tune in tend to stay tuned in for a while, resulting in high levels for the average number of viewers watching at any given moment of the hour.
CNN viewers, in contrast, tend to drop in and bounce out quickly. CNN hosts so many viewers of this drive-by variety that it beats both Fox and MSNBC when it comes to cumulative audience, ie. the total number of human beings who see its shows in a given period.
The problem is that advertising agencies make their buys based on average audience, not cumulative audience. Thus the conventional wisdom: When it comes to the kind of viewership that translates into revenues, CNN is falling ever farther behind.
Making me rethink this conventional wisdom was a recent essay by Y Combinator founder Paul Graham about how to find startup ideas. In a section about competition, Graham writes that it's important not to be scared away from a market by the presence of competitors.
"Best of all," he writes, "is when you can say that they didn't have the courage of their convictions, and that your plan is what they'd have done if they'd followed through on their own insights. Google was that type of idea….The search engines that preceded them shied away from the most radical implications of what they were doing — particularly that the better a job they did, the faster users would leave. "
Sound familiar?
When Google came along, AOL and Yahoo were much bigger in search, but because they didn't have an efficient way of making money at it, they opted to play the time-and-attention game. In so doing, they "shied away form the most radical implications of what they were doing," in Graham's phrase. They became portals that used search (and email) as entry points, then beguiled the users who came for those tools into sticking around until they could be monetized adequately. Search users then ditched them for Google, which actually got them the results they were looking for without a bunch of distractions.
Just as AOL and Yahoo were only ostensibly search engines, Fox News and MSNBC are only ostensibly news networks. Looked at properly, they're entertainment networks that use the news as a hook to snag viewers, then keep them around as long as possible.
What would a CNN that embraced the most radical implications of what it does look like? It would be a network that knows its job is to inform people in an efficient manner. It wouldn't try to keep them in their chairs with pundit round-tables or endless crane shots of a podium where we are just moments away from whatever. It would be a network that never took six minutes to tell you something it could tell you in four. It would be a network that sent viewers on their way as quickly as possible, counting on their satisfaction in getting what they came for to bring them back often.
This is an idea that's already starting to seem less radical, thanks to the internet. One of the video news start-ups I'm keeping a close eye on is NowThis News. Backed by HuffPost veterans Ken Lerer and Eric Hippeau, it's big on quick and creative news summaries and tightly edited explainers. It's not big on we are just moments away from vamping.
Can CNN figure out how to make money off a mode of news delivery that doesn't involve immobilizing viewers? It already has. As Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes noted at a media conference this week, CNN generates annual profits of $600 million and that's growing at double digits. The more video news consumption is something that takes place in on-demand bits and bites on computers and mobile devices, the less CNN's fragmented but huge and loyal audience is going to seem like an inferior version of "real" television viewing than like the new normal. When that happens, the tyranny of average audience will be broken.
In a press call with reporters Thursday morning, Zucker sounded like a man who understood that CNN is better positioned for the future than its critics think. "The fact is if we allow our competition to be defined only by the partisan political cable networks, that's a mistake," he said. "Our competition today is anybody who competes for eyeballs and time and attention and produces nonfiction programming."
My advice to Zucker: Embrace the radical implications of what CNN is doing. And if you're ever feeling the pull of conventional wisdom, just think: Who would you rather be — Google or Yahoo?

text: Carbon is a medium-dark black with a matte finish. It is part of the permanent range, and it varies in its dryness. This isn't the worst iteration I've seen of it, but it's certainly not the best and is by no means a favorite of mine to use. The beauty world can do better black eyeshadows now, so Carbon could use a reformulation to put it on par with current black eyeshadows. It's just so dry and stiff, so the color payoff is sheerer and patchy–even applied on the lid, it can be a pain to blend out. You can find numerous black eyeshadows that compare to this (in terms of color).

Wind: 0 mph
By Jimmy Tepedino, Harwood Union sports reporter
The 2008 Harwood cross country had its debut against the largest D 1 teams in the state of Vermont on Saturday at the Burlington High School Invitational.
Harwood boys shook up the cross country powers from Chittenden County by finishing an impressive second place in the prestigious race. Harwood defeated powerhouses from CVU, Burlington, Saranac Lake, Ausable Valley and South Burlington in their efforts to put the school on the cross country map.
Only Essex boys with a school population three times the size of Harwood stood in the way of the Harwood runners. Harwood boys were led by Eamon Welter (5) and was followed by the pack of Sam Mccausland (12), Nick Wisniewski (15), Caleb Kernan (17) and Zach Russo (30)
"Harwood surprised us. They ran very well as a pack. There are few small schools in New England that have the depth of Harwood," said Scott Bliss longtime CVU coach.
"Sam McCausland was awesome for us today. Sam ran a personal best of 17:52. He came through when we needed him the most," said Highlander coach John Kerrigan.
The young Harwood girls' team also continues to impress the veteran coach. Harwood girls finished in ninth place (second among D 2 teams).
Harwood girls were led by Jillian Mendes (18). "Jill proved that she can run with the best in the state. She is gaining the confidence she needs to make her a champion," said Kerrigan. Kelsey Bush (47), Elena Bilodeau (49), Zari Sadri (59) and Haylee Robinson (61) rounded out the top five for Harwood. Elena and Haylee had personal best times on the urban course that included a dash down the bike path.
On Saturday, September 27, both boys' and girls' teams will compete at one of the most competitive meets in the United States. They will be running in the Nike Manchester Invitational at Derryfield Park in Manchester, NH.
"We will be running in the Small Schools Championship and competing against some of the best schools from New England and the Mid-Atlantic states. We have a shot at a National Ranking," said Kerrigan.

Large Cowpots™
Customers Also Bought
Biodegradable, Eco-Friendly Cowpots™, Now in Larger Sizes
- Cowpots are completely biodegradable
- Transplant seedlings, pot and all, directly into garden, reducing transplant shock
- Pots add nutrients to the soil as they degrade
- 6" pots are a set of 4; 11-1/2" pots are a set of 2
We've added larger sizes for growing out transplants, starting dahlias and begonias indoors, and pre-planting annual flowers before setting them into decorative pots. Cowpots are the invention of Matt and Ben Freund, two Connecticut dairy farmers who were looking for an environmentally responsible way to dispose of cow manure. The manure is dried, completely composted, mixed with natural fibers, and pressed into pots. Gardeners love Cowpots because they are odorless and free of weed seeds. Plants love Cowpots too, because transplant shock is greatly reduced. Best of all, Cowpots are 100% biodegradable. They last for up to one month in a greenhouse or on a windowsill, but will dissolve within weeks after planting in the garden, providing essential organic nutrients to your plants.
- Made of composted cow manure
- 6" Cowpot is 6" square at top, 4-1/5" square at base and 6" H
- 11-1/2" Cowpot is 11-1/2" square at top, 8" square at base and 7" H

Best Uses
- Seed Starting-tomatoes
After using Cow Pots for two years, and finding this size this year, with this company, I would ask that you buy these for starting tomatoes or other large veggie plants.
They are a bit fragile when growing a seedling for a month. They fall apart easily, but seeds just love them. Highly recommend that you get this size and not worry about "potting up."
On initial use, there is an earthy odor that disappears after about three days.
This size is NOT found at local nurseries, so get them NOW, and get them HERE.

A community of people experiencing Heart Rhythm concerns. Ask a question, join a conversation, share experiences: symptoms, management, and treatment.
Facts about cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular disease includes a number of conditions affecting the structures or function of the heart, including coronary artery disease and vascular (blood vessel) disease. Cardiovascular disease is by far the leading cause of death in the United States.
Coronary artery disease (narrowing of the arteries supplying blood to the heart) causes about one million heart attacks each year. Even more worrisome, 220,000 people with heart attacks will die before even reaching the hospital.
Research about cardiovascular disease risk factors suggests that making even small lifestyle changes can reduce the risk of coronary artery disease, heart attack, stroke and other serious cardiovascular conditions.
Are you at risk?
Risk factors are certain conditions that increase a person's risk for cardiovascular disease. It is important to know:
Nonmodifiable risk factors - note which ones apply to you
Since you can't change any of these risk factors, it is important to focus on the risk factors you CAN change.
Risk Factor Goals
You, along with support from your family and friends, can work to achieve the following goals to change or treat your modifiable risk factors and reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease. If you already have cardiovascular disease, you can follow these guidelines to help prevent its progression. (note which ones apply to you)
Stop smoking
Goal: Eliminate the use of all tobacco products. Stay away from other's smoke.
More information: Smoking and Heart Disease
Lower your total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Excessive lipids (fatty substances including cholesterol and triglycerides), especially in the form of LDL cholesterol, cause the build-up of fatty deposits within your arteries, reducing or blocking the flow of blood and oxygen to your heart.
Goals: Total cholesterol less than 200 mg/dl
LDL cholesterol should be less than 70 mg/dl for those with heart or blood vessel disease and other patients at very high risk of cardiovascular disease, such as those with metabolic syndrome. LDL cholesterol should be less than 100 mg/dl for those who have a high risk of cardiovascular disease, such as some patients with diabetes or those who have multiple heart disease risk factors. For all others, LDL cholesterol should be less than 130 mg/dl.
Triglycerides less than 150 mg/dl.
It is recommended to have your cholesterol level checked as early as age 20 or earlier if you have a family history of high cholesterol. The cholesterol profile includes an evaluation of total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglyceride levels. Your health care provider can tell you how often to have your cholesterol tested.
Raise your HDL (good cholesterol).
HDL cholesterol takes the LDL (bad) cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver where it can be passed out of the body. High levels of HDL seem to protect against cardiovascular disease.
Goal: HDL greater than 40 mg/dl; the higher the HDL level, the better.
More information: Cholesterol Guidelines
Lower high blood pressure
Blood pressure is a measurement of the pressure or force inside your arteries with each heartbeat.
Goal: 120/80 mmHg or lower (high blood pressure is 140/90 or higher)
Control blood pressure through diet, exercise, weight management, and if needed, medications. Also limit alcohol, as it can increase your blood pressure.
More information:
* Your Blood Pressure
* Strategies to Control Blood Pressure
Control Diabetes
Diabetes occurs when the body is unable to produce insulin or use the insulin it has. This results in elevated blood sugar levels.
Goal: Hemoglobin A1c test less than 7.0% if you have diabetes, and less than 6.0% if you do not have diabetes. Follow-up with your doctor on a regular basis.
More information: Cleveland Clinic Health Information Center
Maintain a healthy body weight
The more you weigh, the harder your heart has to work to give your body nutrients.
To calculate your BMI, divide weight in kilograms (kg) by height in meters squared (m2).
Metric conversions are: pounds divided by 2.2 = kg; inches multiplied by 0.0254 = meters.
For example, a woman who weighs 140 pounds and is 5 feet, 6 inches tall has a BMI of 23.
140 lbs divided by 2.2 = 64 kg
5'6" = 65" x 0.0254 = 1.65
1.652 = 2.72
64 divided by 2.72 = 23
Your health care provider can help you calculate your BMI.
Goals: A normal BMI ranges from 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m2. Overweight is defined as having a BMI higher than 25 kg/m2. A BMI higher than 30 kg/m2 is considered obese.
Waist measurements for women should be less than 35 inches. Men should aim for a waist less than 40 inches.
Achieve and maintain a desirable weight. A diet and exercise program will help you reach your goal.
More information: Overweight and Heart Disease (includes BMI calculator)
The heart is like any other muscle -- it needs a workout to stay strong and healthy. Exercising helps improve how well the heart pumps blood through your body.
Goals: Moderate exercise 30 minutes a day, on most days. More vigorous activities are associated with more benefits.
Exercise should be aerobic, involving the large muscle groups. Aerobic activities include brisk walking, cycling, swimming, jumping rope and jogging. If walking is your exercise of choice, use the pedometer goal of 10,000 steps a day.
Consult your doctor before starting any exercise program.

Follow a heart-healthy diet
The old saying, "You are what you eat," may be truer than ever - especially when it comes to cardiovascular disease. Four risk factors are related to diet: high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, diabetes and obesity.
Goals: Eat foods low in sodium, saturated fat, cholesterol, trans fat (partially hydrogenated fats) and refined sugar.
Omega-3 fatty acids are good fats and come from tuna, salmon, flaxseed, almonds, and walnuts. Mono- unsaturated fats also are preferred and are found in olive and peanut oils.
Also eat plant-based foods such as fruit and vegetables, nuts and whole grains.
More information: Nutrition Strategies
Contributing Risk Factors (note which ones apply to you)
Some risk factors are not considered traditional risk factors, but are still thought to contribute to overall risk for heart disease. These include:
Individual response to stress: Although stress is not considered a traditional risk factor, some researchers have noted a relationship between cardiovascular disease risk and stress in a person's life, their health behaviors and socioeconomic status. Stress may affect established risk factors.
Learn to manage stress by practicing relaxation techniques, learning how to manage your time, setting realistic goals, and trying some new techniques such as guided imagery, massage, Tai Chi or yoga.
Drinking too much alcohol Intake of too much alcohol can lead to increased blood pressure, heart failure and stroke. It is also linked to high triglycerides, irregular heart beats, obesity, and cancer. Research has shown that those who drink one drink per day (4 oz. of wine, 12 oz. of beer, or 1-1/2 oz. of 80-proof spirits) may have less risk. However, the American Heart Association does not recommend that non-drinkers start using alcohol or that drinkers increase the amount they drink.
Know your risk factors
If you have a family history of cardiovascular disease or high cholesterol, it is even more important to decrease your other risk factors. Get your cholesterol levels tested every year. Make sure you follow-up with your health care provider every year for a checkup.
Ask your doctor about the ultra-sensitive C-reactive protein (us-CRP) blood test. High us-CRP levels are related to an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, peripheral vascular disease and restenosis (reclosing) of the arteries after angioplasty procedures.
Homocysteine is a protein in the blood. High levels of homocysteine -- above 10 -- are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. There have been conflicting studies about the benefits and risks related to treatment of elevated homocysteine levels with folic acid and B vitamins. Therefore, ask your doctor before taking these supplements.

I see Tapco thirty rounders in SGN for reasonable money. Worth buying a couple?
I've had trouble with the followers sticking halfway down, I guess I was able to fix it by cutting the followers for more clearance for the AR mag springs they used, and sanding the sides, then putting graphite on them.
Stay with commie surplus mags, unless you really need the compliance parts on something like an east german build where you don't wanna change too much...
I have had good luck with the tapco mags I use on my sks was not aware they made th for saiga
i have one tapco mag, and it will not fit in any of the AKs I have. Even ones that I didnt build myself! so I know its not JUST ME. lol.....
I had a Tapco Galil mag for a Saiga .223 I converted this summer. I put about 300 rounds through it before I sold the gun. Not a hiccup.
Haven't seen much critical about them.
I have used tapco mags, in ar's and ak's extensively, and they are hard to beat. That is not to say that they are the best for all types of firearms, but I do think that they are or high quality and a great price.
I have put about 300 + rounds through my YUGO AK and not one malfunction.
I recommend them, just give them a try and see how they work with you gun.

Celebrity Style: Blake Lively's 10 Best Style Moments
Celebrity Style: Blake Lively's 10 Best Style Moments
If you've seen Blake Lively on our July 2011 Glamour magazine cover, you might have guessed the girl could pull off some pretty glam looks. Here, a few of her many (many) standout fashion moments that have made her a modern-day style icon in record time. Let the swooning begin! (And P.S. to get a sneak peek at Blake Lively's gorgeous July cover-shoot, just "like" us on Facebook!)SEE MORE
Best Blake Lively Style Moment: Serena van der Woodsen's Entire WardrobeWe first noticed Blake Lively—and her insanely chic, leg-flaunting character, Serena van der Woodsen— in Gossip Girl. She made any occasion look and feel like a red carpet event. Among the many outfits we filed away for inspiration was this adorable wintry mix of a military-inspired 3.1 Phillip Lim coat with oh-so-cute plaid tights and gaspworthy thigh-high boots.
Best Blake Lively Style Moment: Va-Va-Voom Versace DressIt takes über-confidence to rock a plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit, and Blake Lively's cool, calm and collected smile tells us that she's totally confident in this red Versace dress. Other than that multikilowatt grin, simple hair and nude heels are the only accessories needed to make a major statement.
Best Blake Lively Style Moment: Dolce & Gabbana Lace DressDaring? Definitely. But if anyone can make see-through black lace look classy, it's Blake Lively. We love her voluminous schoolgirl curls, which help soften the intense sex-kitten vibe of her Dolce & Gabbana dress.
Best Blake Lively Style Moment: Being Besties With Karl LagerfeldWhen we saw this photo from Gossip Girl's Paris set—of Blake Lively, in layers of glittery Chanel, arm in arm with Karl Lagerfeld—our heads nearly exploded with chicness. For die-hard fashionistas, it doesn't get any dreamier than this.
Best Blake Lively Style Moment: Sheer Chanel DressWhile Chanel's sheer-at-the-stomach style might not work for every party you RSVP to, Blake Lively's cool combo of navy and black and leg-elongating nude heels are classic go-tos for any time or place. Definitely DO try this one at home.
Best Blake Lively Style Moment: Hot-Off-the-Runway Lanvin GownWatch out, Rachel Zoe! Blake Lively showed off her style prowess by wearing this Lanvin dress just a few short weeks after it debuted on the catwalk—long before any other celeb's stylist could even think about making a request.
Best Blake Lively Style Moment: Nude Versace DressTalk about a triple threat: Blake Lively's Versace dress featured a body-con cut, fringe accents and a hella sexy nude hue. The style-savvy actress paired it with black shoes and dark nails to toughen it up, earning it an A+ in our books.
Best Blake Lively Style Moment: White Chanel Cocktail DressThis floaty Chanel dress is what dreams are made of. The high neckline, Blake Lively's wispy, pulled-back hair and eye-catching green earrings draw attention to her pretty face and radiant smile—something a truly great outfit does.
Best Blake Lively Style Moment: Feathery Marchesa Cocktail DressYou've got to hand it to her: Blake Lively knows how to have fun with clothes. This over-the-top red Marchesa number is totally froufrou fun, maintaining its sex appeal with cutouts and a micro hem. Even with all that going on, Blake looks comfy and natural. Brava!
Best Blake Lively Style Moment: Grecian Chanel GownBlake cemented her status as a high-fashion A-lister when she attended the Alexander McQueen Costume Institute Gala with a new, strawberry-blond hair color a decadent Chanel gown and Karl Lagerfeld on her arm.

Find out the [True] Facts
Understanding Costs of an Ohio Northern Education
These days the news is all about skyrocketing student debt. But the truth is that there are many factors involved and before ruling out a school for its perceived costs, it's wise for families to get all the facts before making a decision that can impact their student's future. With knowledge about the real cost of the education, making informed decisions with financial aid professionals and weighing the return on that investment, students can fulfill their dreams without the burden of unmanageable debt.
1. No one wants students to graduate with unmanageable debt.
- Ohio Northern University invests in the success of its students by offering more than $58 million in gift assistance annually.
- Ohio Northern University's graduates are repaying their loans at a remarkable 99.3 percent rate, meaning that less than 1 percent has defaulted. This is far below national averages and was a part of the most recent federal cohort default rates released by the U.S. Department of Education in September of 2010.
- ONU's professional financial aid staff offers an individualized approach to financial aid counseling, with a goal of making a Northern education possible while also keeping students informed about their investment and managing their finances.
>> See www.onu.edu/moneymatters
>>For more information on scholarships and our online cost calculator, go to www.onu.edu/finaid
2. ONU has historically high placement rates and evidence of successful outcomes.
After only six months, Ohio Northern's 2011 graduates had an overall placement rate of 94 percent!
Sample of successful outcomes for ONU's class of 2011:
- Megan Pierce, BA (theatre and music), has a company management position at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
- Mark Nicholas, BS (biochemistry ACS certified) was accepted into the University of Cincinnati's College of Medicine.
- Kristen Smith, BSBA (accounting) interned at PricewaterhouseCoopers and after graduation was hired full time.
- Michael Krak, BSME is pursuing a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering at Ohio State University after receiving a graduate school fellowship from Tau Beta Pi, the national engineering honor society.
- Jordan Counts, PharmD, works in hospital administration for Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Ohio Northern University
3. ONU offers an education of quality.
An institution should offer rigorous academics and provide students with an unlimited number of opportunities for experiential learning that can ensure good placement and successful outcomes.
- At ONU, faculty-mentored undergraduate research, internships, experiential learning, study abroad and capstone projects are inherent in all programs.
Ohio Northern's "Evidence of Excellence" relates the caliber and quality of ONU's educational product.
- Ranked No.2 among baccalaureate colleges and universities in the Midwest by U.S. News & World Report in America's Best Colleges 2011 and in the top five for the last nine years.
- Named in Colleges of Distinction (2012) a guide profiling America's most distinguished teaching-centered colleges and universities.
- Listed in Princeton Review's The Best 376 Colleges 2012 Edition.
- Among the top 100 private four-year colleges and small universities in Peterson's Competitive College Guide (2012).
>>Find out more rankings and evidence of excellence at onu.edu/about
4. At ONU there is a strong return on investment.
Return on investment is a function of two things: how much students spend to earn a degree, and how much graduates earn over their lifetimes.
- Ohio Northern's "Return on Investment" or ROI as calculated by a 2012 PayScale's study, places ONU's graduates and their earning power in the top 21 percent nationally and among the top 6 schools in Ohio. This ROI analysis is significant evidence that ONU graduates fare better than most in terms of earnings over time. This is another indication that the ONU debt load average (in comparison to earning potential) is a balanced and reasonable outlay.

Comments about CT 36 E 9.5 Gallon HEPA Dust Extractor:
I bought this model because my Midi was going through bags too fast (and they ain't cheap). I've got this unit sitting on top of a wheeled cart (about 2.5' off the floor) with a boom. The set up looks Rude Goldbergish but it's easy use move between my two work tables (just have to replug it). I don't use the Midi in the workshop anymore (it's my travel vac now). Equipment supported, Bosch router, TS 55, Domino XL and 150/3 sander. It does an excellent job on the 150/3 sander, a very good job on the rest.

Comments about CT 36 E 9.5 Gallon HEPA Dust Extractor:
This is my 6th vacuum purchase. Guess that says it all... I either must really like these vacs, or I am a glutten for punishment. Actually, I am a glutten for convience. Since I use vacs on several pieces of equipment, it is so much easier to use each work station without having to get the vac from one place to use in another. Now you may be thinking.... hmmm... this guy sounds like what Norm Abrams says about his router collection or even worse, all his clamps. What can I say... Norm is my inspiration and years ago when I was searching for a wife, finding no one, I chose to spend my $ elsewhere. So, for those of you married guys, remember, you're spending your money on one beautiful life's helper. Believe me, two can accomplish much more together than one alone wiith tons of gadgets.

Great dust collection for my Festool power tools. Won't use it as a shop vac, as the bags are expensive. The unit is overpriced for what you get, but it works well.

A 40-year-old Murrells Inlet man was charged with indecent exposure after going skinny dipping in the ocean in the Georgetown County portion of Garden City Beach on June 20.
According to an incident report, a woman from North Carolina called 911 after seeing the naked swimmer in the middle of the afternoon.
The woman said the man was very intoxicated and nude on the beach, the report states.
She told the deputy she first saw the man and a woman drinking alcohol and making out.
She said the man stood up and removed all of his clothes and proceeded to enter the water and swim, the report continues.
Other witnesses also reported seeing the stripped-down swimmer. The deputies found the man and identified him as Winston Kevin Perry.
The woman who made the initial complaint positively identified him and he was taken to jail. According to Detention Center records, Perry was released from jail the next day under a $762 bond.

You know, this is an argument I made a long time ago. I made the argument that the SWG Developers were not exactly the same type of gamers that the die-hard SWG player base was.
Most of the people who were good at SWG Pre-CU had to invest a lot of time into the game. Someone who was great at the game spent many hours per day in the game. Then there were idiots like me who would play around the clock, so we had multiple accounts, guilds, cities, jedi, crafters, non-jedi, and were in need of psychological help most likely for investing so much of our personal time into a video game.
The SWG-SOE teams management, developers, and gophers have to balance work, gaming, and personal time. There is just no way that they could possibly experience the game the way many of us did. It would stand to reason that people who are so time encumbered would get more enjoyement out of FPS games and games that are simple enough to allow them to just log in, play, and log out.
I have always thought that the very fact that the Devs and SWG team could not possibly experience the game and community as we did made isolated our SWG gaming community from the people we relied upon to manage and engineer our gaming world. Think about it, why would you put much thought or effort into developing a game situation you yourself either don't like, can't enjoy, or simply don't truly understand?
Remember how excited the developers were over the CU? They were almost creaming themselves talking up how much they loved the NGE. They may have been giving their honest opinions. It would mean that JFreeman is correct in his assertion that is is not one person's fault. It is the whole teams fault for destroying the game SWG once was. It would mean that our developers and the people managing them were in all reality FPS and WoW/Guild War style players because they could not possibly have the time to be true Star Wars Galaxies players.
If true, this would answer a lot of questions like, why remove so much of the games immersive environment and stratagy, why go to FPS style interface, why push a more cartoonish display, why take a wonderfuly complex game and simplify it to the kiddy standard?
If true, it means we were screwed over by the SOE-SWG teams selfish desire to turn the game we loved into a game that they could enjoy due to their limited game time.
Why do I bring this up?
I edited the thread heading so as not to confuse people. I don't know when he quit, I simply reported what was a recent news blog on another site. The theory is a different matter and I think an importent one. Thanks to Mr. Freeman for the little stab at myself for pointing out the confusion in my post that this may have caused. I hope this small token edit will suffice to show Mr. Freeman that a pre-Combat Dumb-Down fanboy can make a mistake, admit to it, correct it, and appologize for it. That is a hell of a lot more than we Pre-CU players were ever offered or given from SWG-SOE developement, but what the hell, someone has to be the stand-up guy.

A company lol. We already have fps mmo and nobody wants thats one. Anyone got his email id like to discuss a better idea for a company lets buy out SOE and call it SOB and revamp swg as world of star wars with the expansion pack Smeds burning sensation.

Who was this guy? What was his forum handle?
Originally posted by Shayde
This whole topic and conversation brings up a few other questions.
There are all kinds of different styles of game play. We name a lot of them by their style of play. Role Players, FPS peeps, Console players, etc etc etc... but what do you label an SWG player? Mass gamer? Sure... Role Player? .... yea, there were a lot of those... PvPer, PvEer?... yes we had a lot of those too. As a matter of fact we had a cross section of almost every style player you can think of. The one things most of us shared was being part of a mass online game, being part of a very large and involved online community, and spending more time then sanity would allow on a game.
You can all add to that I am sure... but if we ever figure out how to label our group (Maybe a Mass Online Diverse Player Community or some such) then maybe we can ask the question: How do we find representation in a gaming industry full of people who could never enjoy a game that requires the amount of time vested and personal involvement that we as a gaming community seem to enjoy?
This adds a lot of questions for this thread. I think that all of these questions will have to be addressed in a big way for us to be rewarded with games that fit our personalities and expectations.
So, what are your thoughts on this?

Industry works in phases.
Right now, there's plenty of aspiring game developers who have become comfortable with MMO systems.
As such, it's time to go from Wolfenstein 3D (EQ) through Quake (Planetside, GW, NGE) to Half-Life 2.
Upcoming generation of titles will increasingly utilize real-time actions and more world interaction, since technology developers now know the boundaries, and can start pushing them again. In addition, proliferation of high-quality internet connections allows somewhat higher pipe to the client, making more interaction possible.
The next generation will not be Half-Life 2 yet, more somewhere along the lines of UT/Quake3/Half-Life. All the FPS goodies, but certain limits.
Eventually, the next, next generation, will consider FPS and real-time interaction as the norm, that's when new gameplay concepts will become viable.
But 3D FPS or real-time player/world interaction is the next inevitable step. It is currently missing from MMOs simply due to technology restrictions, same reason why first FPS games were, well, 2D and rather poorly looking.
Your conspiracy theory generator is on the blink.
"An FPS MMO company" is a description that you just made up, just now.

I also plainly said in the original post that I had a theory about the relationship we Pre_CU gamers have had with the SOE-SWG developement and management and that the Castoro story was why I brought it up... the story I read reminded me of it so I decided to ask others what they think about my "theory." Did I strike some nerve deep inside you Mr Freeman or are you just being a sarcastic arse because that is your nature?
Here are a few tid bits from the company web page:
"Content is King. I don't care how good your relationship with your customer is, if people don't like what you do, the only thing you'll have to talk about is why they aren't buying your games." -Anthony Castoro
Castoro's new company to combine the most compelling aspects of online & offline games.
AUSTIN, TEXAS (21 February 2007)
Veteran online Designer/Producer Anthony Castoro and accomplished entrepreneur Donn Clendenon announced today the formation of Heatwave Interactive, Inc.
The newly formed company combines its passion for original games with the rigorous discipline needed to get products to market profitably. With a library of original IP in pre-production, the company is preparing to discuss its future with investors at the upcoming Game Developers Conference.
Heatwave promises a new take on gaming. "This is not 'just another MMO' company," states Mr. Castoro. "The current crop of 'massively multiplayer' games only provides a glimpse into the power of connected gaming. Heatwave Interactive's mission is to create original games that unite the power of online gaming with the excitement of traditional single-player video games." Mr. Castoro is well known in the industry for his work as a game designer and Producer at Electronic Arts and most recently as Director of MMO Games at Codemasters.

Look, the failure of the FPS NGE doesn't mean that it can't be done, and that it can't be done right. Just as the failure of old school SWG doesn't mean that a virtual world/sandbox style scifi based (or fantasy, for that matter) MMO can't be done either. It just has to be done (waaaaait for it) r i g h t.
It's entirely about execution.
Tabula Rasa has the potential to show that twitch 'style' combat can work in an MMO. Early heresay from people I trust say that it is exceptionally well done. Same for Huxley: If the gameplay is solid, then it will work (provided it has an engaging storyline to go with it).
Originally posted by Ransom73I dunno if the people who currently play FPS's will be interested. I mean the hard core fps players. If their machine LAGS..at all..their 3000 dollar rig..and new hardware cant remove the lag entirely and give them 300+ frames per second...it would be impossible for them to enjoy it. Just the ones i know anyway.

That's where the 'done right' and execution comes in.
I'll fully admit that lag, latency, and a whole bunch of technical sounding terms will get in the way of a truly good FPS combat based MMO. Tabula Rasa addresses some of this in its design (it's not a true FPS, but something sort of near it. Hard to explain.), as does Huxley. Additionally, broadband just hasn't made its way into the percentage of homes as it has in Europe.
IF you can work around the inherent lag, and IF you can work around the latency, and IF you can work around <insert tech issue here>, it would work. That's alot of IFs, I'll admit, but I imagine it's only about 5 years away.

Oh i totally get it..i'd be there trying it out too. Im just saying..FPS players i know wont tolerate a half of a second of a tiny twitch of what could have been lag. They'll obsess over it for hours, tear the PC apart, rebuild, reload windows, download every possible driver or whatever else you could even imagine. If that doesnt work they'll throw money at it. they are complete freaks. I can only speak for the ones i know..but a game where lag couldnt be ENTIRELY ELIMINATED..like a MMO, would not be even considered. It makes me kinda laugh thinking about those guys having breakdowns experiencing Lag on the scale that MMO's have.
Im exagerrating..a little. it'd have to be a damn good game, and more solid of a game than i can imagine thats for sure. But, marketing works rather well on these guys too..so who knows.

This bit hit a nerve:
If true, it means we were screwed over by the SOE-SWG teams selfish desire to turn the game we loved into a game that they could enjoy due to their limited game time.
Not because there's truth to it, bit because there's an accusation in it.
It's an insult, and I was insulted.
It would mean that JFreeman is correct in his assertion that is is not one person's fault.
You're also commandeering my words to support what you want to say. "Oh, Jfreeman said it was no one person's fault. He must have meant just what I am saying, 'All developers are the children of Satan'".
Individual developers are not hive-mind borg-type aliens from another planet. They are human beings just like you. Take fifty developers and you'll wind up with 50 different preferences. Some do prefer FPS games: and some of those spend as much time playing them as any SWG vet. Others are hardcore MMO players interested in little else. Some - artists in particular - wouldn't even seem like gamers to people are hardcore as the folk in this forum.
As for Heatwave, it seemed to me you're reconstructing reality in order to fabricate evidence which supports a preconceived idea. You're picking on Anthony Castoro just because he used to work for SOE on SWG. And he quit before SWG even launched.
Heatwave's company info, focuses on the idea of combining the best elements of single-player and online gaming. That is, there's a fairly common notion that MMOs succeed on the strengths of online play in spite of being, otherwise, not very good games. No matter what kind of games they are, offline (and especially console) games do the game part better. Whether you agree with that or not, you're taking his goal to make online games which are not only online, but also actually good games, and twisting that into "FPS MMO". Most people wouldn't even equate "console game" with "FPS" in the first place.
It just seems like you're being very dishonest in order to create evidence to support an insult. The headline of this thread is not true. How can you just brush off that fact to say, "Yeh, well, what about my theory, though?" when your theory is based on the info that you just made up?
Touched a nerve?
Yes, you did. It's easy for me to be thick-skinned in the face of drive-by "burn in hell"-one-shot posts. I can even mostly ignore personal attacks people who post nothing but irrational flames.
But since you had been talking to me in other threads, this insult from you took me by surprise. Especially with "dehumanize the enemy" strategy.
There is no us versus them. It's a false distinction, like players who post versus posters who play. Game developers are mostly gamers who grew up (or soon will), and got hired to develop games (Or to code tools for game devs, or to commit acts of art, or to manage QA teams, or to do market research, or whatever). Our differences are not in terms of who we are and often not even in terms of what we do; they are definitely not in terms of what we are.
My own theory?
Companies sometimes make $elfish decision$. Sometimes quarterly reports, accountants, and market research studies are allowed to make game design decisions, because the things they say or the bottom-lines they promise are sexier and more confident than the feelings John Newbie from Design is trying to express.
Sometimes those things even design entire games.
I think that is how crap like Antz Extreme Racing and Starship Troopers the RTS get made (just what are the bugs' strategic options? Rush or Don't Rush, with Don't Rush grayed-out?).
Not (as your theory would suggest ) due to the Antz license being accidentally assigned to a team of racing-game enthusiasts who are too stupid to realize that Best Buy has shelves full of the games they like.
But rather, due to game design by Marketing powerpoints with colorful charts.
Now those are not human, and they are shitty game designers.

I think instead of an 'FPS MMO', you have to make an 'MMO - with lots of MMO things - and FPS combat'.
Then the problem is you cannot smoke cigarettes while playing, which won't fly in Asia.

If you ran a SQL statement (vs a query that returns data) such as UPDATE, try unsetting your PDOStatement object instead of calling PDOStatement::closeCursor().
(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0, PECL pdo >= 0.9.0)
PDOStatement::closeCursor — Closes the cursor, enabling the statement to be executed again.
PDOStatement::closeCursor() frees up the connection to the server so that other SQL statements may be issued, but leaves the statement in a state that enables it to be executed again.
This method is useful for database drivers that do not support executing a PDOStatement object when a previously executed PDOStatement object still has unfetched rows. If your database driver suffers from this limitation, the problem may manifest itself in an out-of-sequence error.
PDOStatement::closeCursor() is implemented either as an optional driver specific method (allowing for maximum efficiency), or as the generic PDO fallback if no driver specific function is installed. The PDO generic fallback is semantically the same as writing the following code in your PHP script:
do {
while ($stmt->fetch())
if (!$stmt->nextRowset())
} while (true);
Întoarce valoarea
TRUE în cazul
succesului sau
FALSE în cazul eșecului.
Example #1 A PDOStatement::closeCursor() example
In the following example, the $stmt PDOStatement object returns multiple rows but the application fetches only the first row, leaving the PDOStatement object in a state of having unfetched rows. To ensure that the application will work with all database drivers, the author inserts a call to PDOStatement::closeCursor() on $stmt before executing the $otherStmt PDOStatement object.
/* Create a PDOStatement object */
$stmt = $dbh->prepare('SELECT foo FROM bar');
/* Create a second PDOStatement object */
$otherStmt = $dbh->prepare('SELECT foobaz FROM foobar');
/* Execute the first statement */
/* Fetch only the first row from the results */
/* The following call to closeCursor() may be required by some drivers */
/* Now we can execute the second statement */
If you ran a SQL statement (vs a query that returns data) such as UPDATE, try unsetting your PDOStatement object instead of calling PDOStatement::closeCursor().
At least with MySQL this function also resets any bound columns, so the fetches will go through as expected but you will be getting stale data in the loop.
Redo all the binds before continuing!
When running multiple queries one after another especially when stored procedures are involved one must release all result sets and fetch all rows in each result set for a stored procedure before moving onto the next query. This is important because a stored procedure returns an extra (empty) result set as a result of having called the procedure itself.
In my case calling PDOStatement :: closeCursor() did not work (on php-5.1.3-rc2) and I was presented with the following error message: "SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 2013 Lost connection to MySQL server during query" upon trying to PDO :: prepare() my second query. So I used the following drop in replacement within one of my classes which fixed the issue.
* @param PDOStatement $oStm
public static function closeCursor($oStm) {
do $oStm->fetchAll();
while ($oStm->nextRowSet());

You recently took up the sport of curling and have several months of play under your belt this season. In last week's game, you hit the broom nearly 25% of the time, and you now know the difference between a guard and a hit. Can it get much better than this?
Of course it can! Consider entering a bonspiel! A bonspiel is simply a curling competition, involving several teams, that runs for a single day or over a period of several days. The Brier could be considered the Grand Poobah of bonspiels for Canadian men: provincial champions meet for a week of intense competition to crown a Canadian champion who then goes on to represent Canada at the world curling championships.
But I assure you: you do not need to aim as high as the Brier or the Scotties! Virtually every curling club hosts multiple bonspiels throughout the season which are open to anyone wishing to pay the fee to enter.
Here are but three reasons why you should consider entering a bonspiel.
- Facing New Challenges: There is nothing that improves your game like playing against teams you have not met before. Consider this typical scenario: your Tuesday night team has come up against opposition skip Bill and his team every draw over the last three years and you've beaten them virtually every time. But who is that John Doe at the other end of the ice? Can he outwit, out-strategize and out-play your team? Is he the next Tiger Woods of curling? It is the thrill of the unknown. Throw those rocks, sweep like mad, and see who emerges victorious!
- Learning to Adapt: Playing on ice other than that at your home club can be an eye opener. For example, why is it that the leg drive that places your rock nice and tight to the top of the rings at your home club brings your rock all the way to the hack here at ABC Curling Club? You will quickly discover that you and your team will have
to adapt to conditions that are different than those under which you are accustomed to playing, and whoever figures the ice out first will typically have an advantage in the game.
- Having Fun: Bonspiels are fun (or at least they should be)! Playing well always feels good but it's not only about winning – you are NOT going to win every time out. Your entry fee will cover the cost of the games you play and possibly a meal or snacks. There may even be a prize (or a booby prize!). Let's be serious, though: prizes are not so big that you would contemplate giving up your day job in order to join the curling club bonspiel circuit.
There are many ways to find out which bonspiels are hosted by different curling club. Ask others that curl at your club about bonspiels that they have played in. There is likely a binder, clipboard or bulletin board at your club that holds a stack of flyers from area clubs inviting you to enter their events. Many curling associations also have sections on their website where you can search for bonspiels in your area (and perhaps even beyond it).
What if you are open to a bonspiel but there rest of your regular team is not? Not to worry! Although there may be restrictions on team composition for competitions that lead to provincial and national playdowns, there are typically no (or very limited) restrictions on club level bonspiels. Normally, it's fine even if all four players come from different clubs. Of course, if you're not sure, just call and ask!
There is a bonspiel out there for everyone: men, women, open (i.e. comprised of any combination of both men and women), all ages (from little rocks up to seniors), and even events for those who throw using a "stick".
TCA Goldline Men's Bonspiel
If you happen to live in the Greater Toronto area, one of the men's bonspiels that you should consider entering is the TCA Goldline Men's Bonspiel! This event is now in its 118th year and nearly 300 teams in 3 divisions (open, senior and senator) register to play every year (with any luck, we can break the 300 mark this season!).
This year's event runs from January 12, 2013, through January 19, 2013, with finals to be played at Richmond Hill Curling Club. Registration deadline is December 5, so sign up now.

Police: Man suspected of attempted kidnappingTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | January 05,2013WESTMINSTER Vermont State Police are looking for a man suspected of trying to kidnap a girl waiting for a school bus in Westminster.
Troopers say they received a report of a suspicious man who pulled up to the girl on Friday morning and asked where her mother was and then tried to grab the child by the hand.
The suspect is described as a tall, slender man with possibly light brown hair and dark mustache. Police say he was driving a red pickup truck.
School officials say the student is fine and was able to return to her house.
Police are encouraging parents not to leave children unsupervised at bus stops and not to have them walk alone in isolated areas.MORE IN This Just InThe family of a Connecticut man who was killed in a car accident on Route 4 last Friday night is...

I say give him Mike Pierce. Both guys deserve a step up and more recognition.

Tuesday, October 1, 2013
With the help of Mount Pleasaant Mayor Billy Swails and the town council, East Cooper Medical Center broke ground Sept. 24 on their new medical office building (MOB). The ceremony marked the beginning of construction of the hospital's new 42,000 square-foot office building that will be located at 851 Leonard Fulghum Boulevard, adjacent to East Cooper Medical Center.
With a completion date in late spring of 2014, the new East Cooper Medical Center Medical Office Building will include physician practices with a focus on women's services and orthopedic services as well as outpatient physical therapy and laboratory services.
"Our hospital has been committed to the community since we opened our first facility in 1986," said East Cooper Medical Center's CEO Jason Alexander. "We built our new hospital in 2010 to accommodate our growing community and services. As we continue to broaden the scope of services offered at East Cooper Medical Center and become a more regional provider of healthcare, we are furthering the expansion of our campus with this Medical Office Building."
East Cooper Medical Center, part of Tenet Healthcare, is a 130-bed acute care hospital located at 2000 Hospital Drive in Mount Pleasant. East Cooper Medical Center has been providing healthcare to the East Cooper community since 1986. Services include, but are not limited to: 24-hour emergency care, women's and children's services, diagnostic imaging and interventional services, orthopedics, sports medicine, pain care, adult and pediatric rehabilitation services, wound care services and surgical care, including nationally recognized colorectal, spine surgery and breast reconstruction surgery.
