I think with my heart and move with my head.-Kongos
There really aren't that many sandbox or 'world' games to choose from. It could be argued that you have Eve, and that's it. What if you want a game with a world, but you don't like Eve? What if the other games that have worlds just suck? Does that mean the OP should suffer through those cr@ppy games to prove a point?
It's not relevant whether the OP plays GW2 or not. What's relevant is how well they've argued their point. It's the argument that matters, attacking the person instead of the argument is just bad form. I think they've argued their point poorly. Simply put, a lot of people want games, not worlds. Their use of the term, "We" was poorly chosen.
Finally, analogies are just a poor way to get your point across. If your audience doesn't agree with or understand what you're saying without an analogy, using an analogy isn't going to help.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.

But you are saying that you don't have problem playing shallow themepark MMOS but problem is that you don't want t pay sub for it? and how is that helpign the current situation which led you to make OP? mere words don't do crap. You keep getting shallow themepark MMOS because you and others keep paying for it.

I really feel as if people are not asking for games instead of worlds. I think the developers are just giving us games instead of worlds.
For all the people that are against this post, I'll bet a million dollars they would be playing and loving a world instead of a game !!!!
One last thing, GuildWars 2 is a game with others on line.

EQ1 wasnt a sandbox, but Norrath felt like a world
Vanilla World of Warcraft was a themepark, but it had a world feeling about it.
Rift ifeels like a game. big difference.
GW2 is closer to the world feeling but i feel its not quite there. the capital cities are by far the best thing in the game to that extent. So full of life and flavor.

Ii think answer is obvious because people buy and support such games including OP according to whom GW2 is a shallow themepark MMO with one saving grace that is B2P.
And i fail to see where i attacked OP? telling him to practise what he preaches is an attack? well matter of prespective i guess.

Games are designed to engage you in some way, to allow you to experience something, to fulfill a desire to experience something. That 'something' might be a challenge, or an interesting story, or pretending to be somebody else. It might be a chance to show an aspect of yourself to others, or a chance to show others that you're more skilled than them.
There are many things that a game can offer you. It can offer you an experience based around discovery, if that's what you're looking for. Or expressing yourself. But you gain nothing by saying "Well, I don't want WoW or RIFT because those are games—what I want is a world." The thing you want is also a game! It's a game designed around core aesthetics that aren't even that uncommon. You may as well drop the act that there's something special about games that don't have any game in them.
Because—and think really hard about this, now—what are you accomplishing by badmouthing games in favor of so-called worlds? All you're trying to do is the same thing people did to gamers in general before video gaming went mainstream. You're name calling. The thing you're asking for is no less of a game than Black Ops or Borderlands or WoW; those are just designed to deliver a different experience (challenge, grinding, narrative). Describing your preferred game as something other than a game, something more than a game, is just pretentious.

Not to be rude or anything I don't mean to disrepect you or anyone else when I say this. If you and whoever else agrees with your feeling. Feel so strongly about it why aren't you willing to put up your own money to see it happen? It's easy to say "Hey developers/publishers this it what I want from games". When you aren't putting up your own time or money to make it happen. Not trying to pick a fight or anything, but thats all I constantly hear all the time. Complaints about the MMO genre. Armchair developers who have never worked on a game a day in their life that believe they can do it better. People that sat in a guild with a few hundred people, and then believe they know what everyone wants. People that have played alot of MMO's and believe they can do it better. Yet when it's all said in done, they want someone else to create what they believe is "the perfect MMO".
There is plenty of interest with the new kickstarter stuff thats been happening lately. There are plenty of writers looking to prove their worth. Plenty of game designers/programmers that are looking for somewhere to start. Plenty of untapped artist out there. I mean if you all can really do something better, why not get the ball rolling there. Why expect developers/publishers that have disappointed you so much in the past, to fork out money like that.
I know your post wasn't "pro-sandbox" thing. Though as someone else said earlier in this thread. How many of you (not refering to you OP) have supported any of the sandboxes that have came out? Answer is probably not alot. Sandbox people are just too picky about things IMHO. The response you get from them when you ask them have they supported any of the recent or earlier sandboxes. Always boils down to some lame excuse of it not having this, that, or the other. Then the "oh it has a few bugs" people that refuse to play it for that minor reason. So honestly as a developer/publisher who has to pay employees, has expenses, may or may not have a family to feed, and investors to answer to. Why should I gamble on a fickle group of players. That at best since the days of UO have proven to be "niche".

So basically what you are saying is that if a customer wants something they need to make it themselves or pay to have it done? I guess the whole theory of consumer-producer system is completely lost on you?
This is how it works. A producer gauges the market and tries to see where the demand is. He then creates a product to fit that demand to make a profit. A customer is only obliged to somehow communicate to a producer what he wants and then buy the said product, he is under no obligation whatsoever to create it himself. That is not how the market works.
Kickstarter is an abbhoration. It basically feeds on peoples hopes so they give up their money for a non existant product. How it normally would work is that the producer will get investors who pay a certain amount of money for a piece of the company and that is how they fund a project, alternatively it can be a loan with something as collateral. But an investor is not the consumer so again the consumer has no obligation whatsoever to fund a project, only to buy a finished product and be willing to communicate to the producer what he wants which is exactly what the OP is doing.

It really depends on how you presented your point of view and what your point of view actually was. It would seem really odd if you said that theme parks are a horrible blight on society, and yet you played 500 hours of GW2. At the same time, it would give you lots of material to make your point.
Now, if your point is that playing theme parks contributes to the very problem you're preaching against, then I'd say you have a schizophrenic point of view. I would ask why you continue to play a game that you see as the source of a problem you're arguing against. I would really wonder about that, but you could still present a really good argument against playing theme park games.
Getting past all that, it's the argument you're making that's relevant. It doesn't matter how I feel and it doesn't matter what you play or don't play. The only important part of the discussion is the topic being discussed. Did you make a good point, in your post in favor of or against your point of view?
I don't think the OP made a very good argument. I think there is a good point in their post about worlds versus games, but they didn't do a very good job presenting it. The biggest issue is the use of the word, "We", since it seems people in general are fine with games and are fine without worlds.
Apologies for using 'attack'. That is a bit too strong a word. You were presenting the idea that the person posting the argument invalidated the argument, without actually invalidating the argument itself. 'Attack' was just the easiest word to use. So again, apologies.

We the consumers are to blame. Players like mmo's like WoW (a game) and companies ran with it. Forever changing the face of world gaming.
Thank God Sandbox MMO's are making a comback.

It is not an either or. It is perfectly possible to like several things. It is the responsibility of companies to see if there is a demand and then create a product for that demand. They have to sometimes take a risk and produce something even though they dont have 100% proof that people will buy it in the volumes they expect. If it was that easy then everyone would be creating successful multimillion dollar companies.

If you want to spend a bit more time on it, I can see if we can stick it as an article on the main page.Anyways, the purpose of the article was just to figure out why many dislike him so much. I wasn't really going for controversy or to be a jouralist or whatever. I just had an idea about it, and decided to roll with it. And to get peoples opinion on why they dislike him so much. And yes, my wording like 'greatest fighter of a generation' was a poor choice of words. Thank you for your input and advice though, it's greatly appreciated dude. If I took more time I would have probably removed things like that.

Yeah, Bye.
John Hackleman confirms Glover Teixeira injured right shoulder in first round against Jon Jones, will have MRI Wednesday
"Jon Jones hurt Glover's shoulder in the tie up on the clinch against the cage, tweaked his shoulder and he hurt it. So Glover couldn't use his right hand very well. You see me in the corner trying to get him to throw that right hand harder. He told me, 'Hey, can you get some ice on it?'"
Jones remarked on the elbow crank during the post-fight press conference.
"That's a move I've been doing since I was a little boy in wrestling," said Jones. "It was something you could never do to your wrestling partners and it's dirty in wrestling. But it's always there when someone has the underhook and you have an overhook and you can just crank their arm.
"I felt his elbow pop two times. Consecutive 'pop pop.' I was just like, 'Aw, nice.'

in before "jones is such a dirty fighter!!"
oh wait.......
Got a lot of soul searching to do. Sorry to everyone I've let down
Personally, I dislike Jones as a fighter (I don't know him as a person) but it's not because I think he fights dirty...
(Although!... Those gifs and pics are incredible... and make a strong case for labelling him as at LEAST a LITTLE dirty.)
For ME... I hate the cockiness.
I hate cockiness in ANY fighter. It's why I could never get behind Anderson. Even though the man was CLEARLY an incredible fighter (just as Jones is) I just can't root for anyone who is cocky.
Confidence is AWESOME (see GSP/ Fedor!)
Cockiness is off putting (see Jon Jones/Anderson Silva/Josh Koscheck/etc)
That's why I don't like Jones.
And it's a shame.
undefeated (Sorry matt hamill), longest raining LHW champ of all time, finishes fights, versatile, confident - dont mistaken it for cockiness, beat a who's who of LHW greats, and cleaned out virtually an entire division in 6 years to name a few (theres 7 lol)
Ive been a Jones fan since the bonnar fight (as i had not originally seen his first UFC fight against Gusmao) and new from day one this kid would be champion. As much as people want to talk about 151 (which i have said many times is something i can never forgive jones for) people leave out the fact that he stepped up on 3 weeks notice to fight shogun for the belt - no props given for that, the look at it as you said "an easy road to the title"
people love to hate the best. Haters are your biggest supportes because it doenst matter if they talk shit about you, love you, or whatever the case is - they all still tune in saturday nights, they all buy the fights, they all watch him fight and they all watch him dominate every time out. At the end of the day, no one can take away from what Jones has accomplished - so they nit pick at whatever they can/
Got a lot of soul searching to do. Sorry to everyone I've let down
Gotta love Jon's logic. It's dirty move that he has been doing since he was kid, but he didn't do it in wrestling since it was considered dirty? So where did use it then if not while wrestling if it's something he has been doing since he was a kid... And in what sense is it not dirty in his mind in MMA if it's dirty move in wrestling. Aww, nice indeed.

Voucher meeting to look at options, opportunities
Parents of school-age children from around the area will have the chance tonight to learn more about new scholarships for their students to attend private school or get therapy for special needs.
The N.C. General Assembly created a voucher system this summer that will allow qualified, low-income families to receive $4,200 per year to pull their children out of public school and put them in private school if they choose. Also, families of any income level with a child who is disabled can receive $6,000 per year to put toward either private school or other expenses related to that disability, such as speech therapy.
And from 6-7:30 tonight in Pinehurst, at the Longleaf Academy at 395 Magnolia Road, parents and their children from Moore, Lee, Chatham, Harnett and other local counties can learn more about their options and hear from a variety of speakers who are knowledgeable about the new programs.
Rep. Paul "Skip" Stam, speaker pro tempore of the N.C. House of Representatives and a champion of the voucher program, will be on hand to answer questions about the vouchers. Joining him will be Michael Fedewa, superintendent of Catholic schools in the eastern half of North Carolina, which includes the local area, and Karen Duquette, vice president of Parents for Educational Choice in North Carolina. Her group advocates for more school options to be available to families of all income levels.
"We're getting so many questions from parents — different questions that are, quite frankly, great questions for this symposium," Jill DeJak, Longleaf Academy's principal, said.
She said the event will be held as a public question-and-answer session, followed by an informal period at the end where people also can ask private questions of the speakers. And although the gathering is in Moore County, DeJak said she's expecting attendees from surrounding counties — especially because several Lee County groups have also been working with her to spread awareness of the voucher program.
People from Grace Christian School have worked hard to get out the word about the new program, Dejak said, and the Sanford-Lee County Boys and Girls Club has also been involved. Club Director Bo Hedrick said that last Friday, every parent who came to the club received a flier on the new opportunities that might be available to them, and that he's expecting some families will follow up by attending tonight's meeting.
What: Q&A regarding private school vouchers available to low-income families or parents of disabled children
When: Today from 6-7:30 p.m.
Where: Longleaf Academy, 395 Magnolia Road in Pinehurst
Other: Free, open to everyone, parking available on site

A Christmas Light: Carroll, Steele read poems by Alan Harris for CDWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
Longtime local radio hosts Suzanne Carroll and Harvey Steele both contributed readings of Christmas-themed poems to "Holiday Wishes 3."
"A Christmas Light," read by Carroll of 101.5 The River's recently ended "The Jazz Brunch," and "Listening to Christmas," read by Steele of K100's "Shores and Steele," were both written by 70-year-old poet Alan Harris of Tucson, Ariz.
In more than 50 years of writing poetry, Harris has deliberately never pursued publishing his poems. He prefers to post them on his website where they are free to be read by all.
That's exactly where Toledo Free Press Editor in Chief Michael S. Miller stumbled across Harris' work and approached him about using two of his poems for 2013's Make-A-Wish Foundation benefit CD.
Harris said he was happy to give permission.
"That's a very worthy cause and I think at Christmastime especially it's a good time to share like this, so I'm glad to be donating my poems for the CD," he said.
Harris said he enjoys writing about spiritual topics and also likes to inject humor in his poems. He said he tends to write about commonplace scenes and objects, but looks at them from "an unusual view."
"I like to see what's behind things," he said.
Harris grew up in Illinois and discovered poetry while attending Illinois State University.
"I just liked the intense thought behind some of the poems I read," Harris said. "I just really enjoyed seeing words that meant a lot packed into small places like poems."
About 10 years ago, Harris retired from a career in computers and moved from Chicago to Tucson to be closer to family.
'Listening To Christmas'
Harris said he wrote "Listening to Christmas" about 30 years ago after walking in the woods near his Wisconsin cabin.
"It was just a snowy night. You could hear snow falling on snow and I decided to write a poem about it," Harris said.
"I put it in spiritual terms that one could really appreciate Christmas if they are silent and meditative. That's when the meaning of Christmas seems to really come through."
Steele recorded the track at his radio station booth, but said the process was much different than hosting "Shores and Steele."
"The challenge with that particular poem was to get quiet at certain times and use inflection in your voice. It's not just a poem you can read in a monotone, especially when there's so much imagery there. You can't just use your regular voice to read it," Steele said. "You have to really use the best vocal skills to convey the quietness, something I don't normally do. I'm not very quiet, unfortunately."
Steele said the poem prompts inner reflection.
"You're not thinking of what kind of present you're going to get or buy; you're thinking of the quietness of the season, which is really how it should be," Steele said. "The commercialization goes away real quick when you read something like that."
Steele said his personal experience as a liver transplant recipient has made him particularly sensitive to helping those with health issues.
"[Make-A-Wish] is obviously a great organization and it was my pleasure to help out in my own small way," Steele said.
'A Christmas Light'
Harris said he wrote "A Christmas Light" while thinking about the moon.
"So often we think of the star [over Bethlehem] at Christmas time, but the moon is much more commonplace and accessible to people because we don't see the star anymore, but the moon is with us all the time in one phase or another," Harris said. "So I wanted to nominate the moon for a part in the Christmas story."
Carroll said she loved the poem from her first read-through and never considered reading anything else.
"I felt after reading it the author was trying to say that many of us lose our way and are looking for answers. Sometimes those answers come from within," Carroll said.
"He reminds us that we are all gifts that shine upon the Earth, and the moon, with her gentle light, can be a reminder of that every single day.
"I chose to read it with the deep gentle meaning that I felt the writer was trying to portray. I tried to add as much warmth and strength to my read as possible, as I feel this type of poem can reach people's hearts and souls."
Carroll worked with longtime "The Jazz Brunch" contributor Mark McLaren to find and lay music under the reading and add a sound to represent the moon's light.
Carroll said her own serious health issues, including complications from multiple sclerosis that recently forced her to retire from her 18-year career as host of "The Jazz Brunch," have given her particular empathy for Make-A-Wish children and their families.
"Knowing how difficult it can be, my heart truly goes out to children who are facing down some of the toughest stuff life can throw at them," Carroll said. "I wish for every child facing challenges — and their families — the ability to keep reaching for those wishes large and small because they really do come true.
"This has been such an honor to be involved in this project this year as I step away from my radio career. I have never been more aware of the preciousness of life, and the mission to help young children realize their sweet wishes while they can is simply heartwarming.
"I hope listeners of 'A Christmas Light' will understand how special each and every one of us is as we shine our own personal light upon the world."

text: I posted this at bulletin board I go to, For about a week now especially in the evening I get blurred vision, my blood pressure is not high at all, it is always low, I have had headaches and have gained 6 lbs in 4 weeks where I wasnt gaining much at all. Didnt think much of it. My last ob appt. I did have protein in my urine and was dehydrated a bit so that is what we wrote the protein off in my urine too. Even though my blood pressure is low and not bad does that mean I could be getting preeclampsia or could there be another cause for the blurred vision.

text: Robert Reich: The requirement that everyone purchase health insurance, or pay a fine doesn't appeal to many Americans. They don't like the government telling them they have to buy something. But the healthcare system can't work without this mandate. Only if everyone buys insurance can insurers afford to cover people with preexisting conditions, or pay the costs of catastrophic diseases.

Suzan Holl (301) 734-6464
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31, 2006–The U.S. Department of Agriculture today announced that it has issued a license to Dow AgroSciences LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company, for a vaccine to protect chickens from illness caused by the Newcastle disease virus (NDV).
The chicken vaccine is the first fully licensed plant-cell-produced vaccine for animals in the United States and the first plant-made product to be licensed by USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. The vaccine contains the major immunogenic protein of the NDV and does not contain any whole NDV, live or killed. Once the chicken's cells take up the protein in the vaccine, they trigger a protective immune response.
In granting full licensure, APHIS' Center for Veterinary Biologics determined that the vaccine's safety and efficacy have been satisfactorily demonstrated. The label conforms to standard precautions regarding use.
NDV occurs in many species of birds, is transmitted by inhalation and ingestion and displays wide variation in pathogenicity among strains. NDV strains are classified as asymptomatic, lentogenic (mildly pathogenic), mesogenic (moderately pathogenic) and velogenic (highly pathogenic).
NDV can be either neurotropic or viscerotropic. The neurotropic viruses cause respiratory and nervous signs. The viscerotropic viruses, which are more common, result in respiratory signs, diarrhea and swelling of the head and neck. Vaccination is the principle method of control for the mildly pathogenic strains common to the United States.
Plant-cell-produced technology represents a new generation of vaccines. First, plant-cell-produced vaccines contain no components of animal origin. Second, traditional vaccine development involves either passing a disease-producing virus through a different species or cell type until it no longer causes disease but does create immunity, or by killing the virus in a way that allows it to produce immunity but no disease in the recipient. Plant-cell-produced subunit vaccines use only specific fragments of a pathogen's unique genetic material to stimulate a targeted immune response from the host.

The field of African American historical archaeology witnessed a boom in social and political consciousness from Black scholars during the 1990s. In 1994 Theresa Singleton and Elizabeth Scott broke new ground with the founding of the Society of Historical Archaeology's Gender and Minority Affairs Committee. Several years later, African American archaeologist, Maria Franklin (1997a;1997b) published on the lack of racial diversity in the field and archaeology's affect on the African Diaspora. The 90s also represented a critical time in African American historical archaeology, in particular, with the excavation and later commemoration of both the Freedman's Cemetery in Dallas, Texas and the African Burial Ground in Manhattan, New York. Cheryl La Roche and Michael L. Blakey's (1997) article "Seizing Intellectual Power: The Dialogue at the New York African Burial Ground," stressed the importance of community collaboration, while Theresa Singleton's (1999) book, I, too, am America: Archaeological Studies of African American Life, addressed issues of African American representation, and the need for alternative methodological and pedagogical practices within the field.
In years prior, scholars and students alike have historically discussed the need to create an organization (or institute) to identify and address these social and political concerns as well as foster additional dialogue. However, the low numbers of Blacks in the field thwarted previous attempts to solidify an organization until now. More than four decades after the establishment of the Association of Black Anthropologists and a decade after these publications, the Society of Black Archaeologists (SBA) was established.
The groundwork for SBA was laid in 2011 by a few students at the University of Florida who saw the potential to address some concerns within the field of archaeology. At this year's annual SHA conference in Baltimore, Maryland a group of Black archaeologists came together to discuss their experiences as racial minorities in the field. The meeting brought together veteran and amateur archaeologists, reaffirming the organizations commitment to promote the development of five goals:
- To lobby on behalf and ensure the proper treatment of African and African Diaspora material culture.
- To promote archaeological research and recruit more blacks to enter the field of archaeology.
- To raise and address contemporary concerns relating to African peoples worldwide.
- To highlight the past and present achievements and contributions that blacks have made in the field of archaeology.
- To ensure that the communities affected by archaeological work are not simply viewed as objects of study or informants. Rather, they should be treated as active makers and/or participants in the unearthing and interpretation of their history.
As of right now SBA currently operates as a listserv as opposed to a formal organization; however, it is currently engaged in two new projects. The first project is interested in exploring the history of blacks in archaeology. SBA is working to collect oral histories from individuals throughout the African Diaspora who have had exposure to archaeology. The Oral History Project was created to collect and archive oral history interviews of Blacks in the field to gain a better understanding of the roles and experiences Blacks have had in the past and present. The first interview was with Whitney Battle-Baptiste, an associate professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and can be heard online at the SBA website. Listeners can hear Dr. Battle-Baptiste discuss how her worldview influenced her research, and her humble beginnings in the field of archaeology.
In addition to the Oral History project, SBA members have been working to increase the presence of archaeology in the field of African Diaspora Studies and organized a panel presentation entitled, "Our Things Remembered: Unearthing relations between Archaeology and Black Studies," at the National Council for Black Studies 2012 annual conference in Atlanta, Georgia. SBA has also been invited to organize an additional panel for the 2012 Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) convention to be held in Philadelphia this September.
If you have an interest in archaeology and would like to join our listserv please e-mail email@example.com. The organization is still in its foundational stage and we are currently looking for relevant information to post on the website including job openings, internships, field schools, and articles for the blog attached to the website. We are always open to comments and suggestions.

Jones County downed Grovetown 48-37 Friday night in Gray to secure the
school's first state playoff berth in football since 2004.
The Greyhounds finished the regular season with a 7-3 record, their best
since 2001, and earned the third seed from Region 2-AAAAA.
They will face Glynn Academy (7-3) in Brunswick in the opening round of the
playoffs next Friday at 7:30 p.m. Glynn downed Jenkins Friday night to
overtake Effingham County, which lost to Ware County 49-0, for the second
seed from Region 3-AAAAA.
The Greyhounds finished third in their region with a 5-2 record behind
Northside-Warner Robins, which was 7-0 after beating Evans, and Warner
Robins, which was 6-1 after downing Lakeside-Evans 40-19. Lakeside finished
fourth in the region at 4-3.
Jones County had to battle to down Grovetown (3-7). The Warriors jumped
ahead 16-7 in the opening quarter, but the Greyhounds stormed back to build
a 41-16 lead early in the third quarter. But Grovetown did not quit, cutting
Jones County's lead to 11 points early in the fourth quarter. The Jones
County defense then held the Warriors scoreless over the last 10 minutes to
seal the victory.
Senior Undre Williams scored five touchdowns on runs of 18, 34, 3, 1 and 77
yards to lead the Greyhounds, but they got a scare when he was hit on the
left knee returning a kickoff late in the third quarter. He did not return
to the game, but coach Dwight Jones said afterward that they held Williams
out as a precautionary measure and he should be good to go next week.
Jo Jo Gibbons also scored on a 19-yard run and guard Jaylin Wright recovered
a fumble in the end zone for the Greyhounds' other touchdowns.
See next week's newspaper for the whole story.

Comments about 12 Amp 20 in. 3-in-1 Electric Lawn Mower:
This mower was a fantastic bargain and worth more than I paid. Thank you TylerTool! The fact that it is electric and had no problem mowing my small amount of property makes it the best lawn product I have bought. Easy start, easy clean and easy storage. I only mow on sunny days with minimal condensation as there are rumors that this mower does not fare well in wet situations. I will find out if this is true at some point. Overall this was a perfect purchase. Super fast shipping and more than I expected.

Comments about 12 Amp 20 in. 3-in-1 Electric Lawn Mower:
When I took it out of the box one wheel fell off because the assembler had put too many washers on the axle so the wheel retaining clip would not seat in the slot. I wasn't able to get the clip on because a special tool is required which I don't own. Pity that this machine wasn't properly assembled and inspected and had to come all the way from China this way. The seller I bought it from promptly shipped me another, which didn't have this problem.
The mower seems to generally operate all right, except that I have used it twice and haven't been able to get it to cut evenly. Not sure if it is improperly designed with wheels that are set too wide in relation the cutting blade, or perhaps the wheels are not at even heights. (The height adjustment is not independent, so this is not my fault.) It is light weight and easy to push. The motor is plenty powerful. This is the only mower in its class that I was able to find that still has a handle that easily folds for storage. The unit that contains the start switch and bailer interlock seems flimsy, and I'll be surprised if it lasts long without breaking. Similarly the plastic cover for the discharge diverter and the mulching plug.

Practice Philosophy
I am committed to providing state-of-the-art surgical services in a caring, christian enviroment. I feel that patient - physician communication is crucial in obtaining the optimal surgical outcome to meet patients' expectations. We not only expect questions but encourage them. The patient's complete understanding of the proposed surgical procedure is vital to their treatment, successful recovery, and optimal result.
Body Contouring - especially SAL and abdominoplasty
Breast Surgery - mastoplexy, augmentation, reduction
Cosmetic Surgery of the Face - forehead lift, face lift, eyelid surgery, nasal surgery
Our consultation process is designed with two objectives in mind:
1) To get to know the patient as a person in addition to their medical / surgical history and to address their specific concerns so that we can recommend an individual treatment / surgical plan to best achieve their goals.
2) To educate the patient as to the specifics of their condition, treatment / surgical options, advantages / disadvantages, risks, complications as well as expected outcomes.
We begin with a one page patient history form which may be completed in the office or mailed out prior to consultation. I then meet with the patient to review information in their history and discuss the patient's personal concerns and their goals regarding these issues. A comprehensive physical exam is then performed. My evaluation of the patient's condition is then discussed in detail and surgical / treatment options are then reviewed in depth. A computer imaging session may be performed at that time. After all patient concerns / questions are answered, financial issues are addressed with our front office and further consultation or surgical procedures may be scheduled at that time.
We perform all surgeries in an outpatient surgicare center or hospital that offers the advantage of easy access, reduced cost and efficient, personalized care in a pleasant atmosphere. You are able to have surgery and return to comfort of your home the same day in most cases. Our outpatient surgery centers are members of the Federation of Ambulatory Surgery Association (FASA), Texas Association of Surgical Centers (TASC), Medicare certified, JCAHO accredited.
Our facilities provide modern operating suites, post-operative recovery areas, highly trained personnel, board certified anesthesiologist and the latest in medical equipment and supplies. Each staff member is personally committed to ensuring that your experience is a positive one.

With the runoff election just around the corner, it is time to finalize who you are going to vote for, if you haven't already decided.
Citizens will take to the poles again on Tuesday, August 28, 2012 to decide who will get the job of Pushmataha County Sheriff and narrow down the candidates to the final two for the position of United States Representative for District 2.
On the ballet for Pushmataha County Sheriff, you will decide between John Arthur and Terry Duncan.
Terry Duncan has been a longtime resident of Pushmataha County and owned two businesses in the area. He states that he has strong Christian values, understands the importance of honesty and hard work. Terry also states that he understands the communities concern with a growing drug problem, burglaries, thefts and violence. He ensures citizens that everyone will be treated with dignity and respect.
John Arthur is also a longtime resident of Pushmataha County and has served our country as a part of the U.S. Navy. He states that he is the only candidate with continuance certified full-time law enforcement experience uninterrupted since 1998, with Pushmataha County Sheriff's office experience, that is CLEET Certified, and that is qualified to address the expansions and necessary changes required for our county to flourish into the next four years and thereafter.
"It is important for every citizen of Pushmataha County to get out and vote," said Pushmataha County Election Board Secretary Jack Matthews. "The only way to get your voice heard is to vote."
Matthews also stressed the importance of voters to bring a form of identification with them when they come to vote. Voters who do not have an I.D. will not be allowed to vote. Voters can bring their Voter Identification Card, Drivers License or a Photo I.D.
Candidates contending for your votes for US Representative for District 2 include: Republicans: George Faught and Markwayne Mullin; and Democrats: Rob Wallace and Wayne Herriman.
George Faught (R): According to Faught's campaign: he has lived in Muskogee since he was less than a year old. His family operated a dairy farm, which impressed on him the value of hard work, the importance of responsibility, and a heart for serving others. He shares conservative, traditional values and has served three terms in the Oklahoma House of Representatives. He has a Pro-Life voting record, is Pro-traditional marriage, feels illegal immigration is a drain on hospitals, schools, and law enforcement, as well as our government funded services. He is for returning to Constitutional principles of limited government and personal responsibility, wishes to add a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution and cut government spending.
Markwayne Mullins (R): According to Mullin's campaign, he is an eastern Oklahoma native, successful businessman, rancher, family man and youth leader in his church. Mullin believes in a limited government, cutting spending, that the 2nd Amendment, excessive government regulations, is a pro-life conservative, believes in traditional marriage and believes we spend too much on foreign aid. He also feels that ObamaCare must be repealed, that we must protect America's borders to stop illegal immigration and should be strengthened against illegal immigration and law enforcement given the resources for enforcement.
Rob Wallace (D): According to Wallace's campaign: He is a fourth generation Oklahoman, and knows Oklahoman values like faith, family, and hard work. Wallace served as Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Oklahoma in Muskogee under a Democratic and Republican administration. Wallace was elected District Attorney of LeFlore and Latimer counties. He believes that government doesn't create jobs, but it has a strong role to play in helping businesses create jobs, provide tax credits to small businesses that create jobs, Eliminate the death tax for family farms, reduce the costs associated with health care benefits on small business, oppose unfair trade deals, use Oklahoma's Natural Gas and Natural Resources to create Oklahoma jobs, help our Veterans secure good jobs - after they've helped secure our country and rebuild our infrastructure.

He is a small businessman; he currently owns and operates Sunburst Seed Company and Holman Seed Farm. He served two years in the United States Army.

Jasmine Maughon, one of our community's most remarkable up-and-coming artists, delights art lovers with her sweet personality, shy smile and remarkable, inherent artistic ability.
No matter what media she gets her hands on, when she's through, it's been beautifully transformed into a memorable work of art.
The exhibit of Maughon's work currently on the north wall of the Crestview Public Library amply demonstrates the young artist's skill in two and three dimensions, as well as her assured manipulation of a variety of media.
The 2012 Crestview High School grad is a former president of the school's Art Club and recipient of multiple blue ribbons at both school and community art shows. She majors in studio art at Northwest Florida State College and the University of West Florida.
Maughon's exhibited works come from high school and college projects. Pen and ink, charcoal, watercolors, fabrics and even house paint are among the media she employs. Works range from whimsical, serious and even a trifle, um…scary.
Of the latter, I especially liked a trio of perturbing pastels and ink interpretations of fairy tales.
"Seven Dwarfs" depicts a sleeping Snow White being visited by seven demonic, gremlin-like creatures that lack the Disney hugability of Dopey, Doc, Sneezy and others. Rendered primarily in black and white, their gleaming red eyes burst through the nocturnal gloom of Snow White's boudoir.
"They were my concentration project for high school when I took (Advanced Placement) portfolio," Maughon said. "I had fun with those."
Contrast the fantasy of the grim fairy tales with the artist's still lifes, such as the delicate "Tea Rose" rendered in charcoal, or the wonderful "Beautiful Bones," from a decidedly different subject, rendered in charcoal and ink. As you ponder it, Maughon's sense of humor shines through.
Dimensional work includes a piece called "Graffiti Jungle" that reflects her interest in fabric art, and "Life Mosaic," a vibrant, exciting ceramic work that tantalizes the viewer on multiple levels.
I particularly loved the "Iron Maiden," an assemblage of everything from delicate cloth to bits of electronics and mechanical parts.
My only regret is that Maughon didn't exhibit her lively manga drawings, though a hint peeks through if you look carefully at "Graffiti Jungle."
Her characters embody rich personalities and are rendered so brilliantly they seem ready to pop off the paper.
But maybe that's subject matter for another exhibit.
We can always hope!
Want to go?
Works by young local artist Jasmine Maughon will remain on exhibit at the Crestview Public Library through February. Call the library, 682-4432, for more details.

By Antone Johnson, Former eHarmony VP/global head of Legal
As an economics major, as well as a lawyer who's worked in many different areas of the profession over the past decade and a half, let me take a crack at this one.
- "Sticky" wages. Who likes to get their salary cut? Nobody. Historically, most companies (both in and out of the legal profession) will do anything to avoid cutting salaries, even if that means layoffs. That's changed somewhat in recent years, particularly in highly volatile industries like tech and finance, but the legal profession is one of the slowest to change. This leads to:
- "Sticky" billing rates. Law firm billing rates only go one of two directions: Up or sideways. They never go down. This is insane from an economics perspective. When demand for something evaporates as a result of, for example, the housing meltdown or the dot-com crash, basic microeconomics principles tell us that the price must drop to restore equilibrium (supply = demand). When prices are sticky, this doesn't happen, so you end up with a gap between supply and demand: Overpriced lawyers sitting around doing nothing, and clients not getting served because they can't afford those rates. Classic "lose-lose" situation.
- Limited discounting. Most other industries don't like to cut prices either, in good times or bad. Thing is, if you're Cisco selling routers and switches to corporate clients, and demand plummets with the economy, you can authorize your sales force to offer deeper discounts to the highest-volume customers. In enterprise software and hardware deals, I'm used to seeing discounts as high as 30%, 40%, even 50% on occasion to get/keep the ongoing business of the most desirable customers. That is totally unheard of in the world of business law, where the deepest I've ever seen discounts go is 15-20%. Not nearly enough for the Great Recession. Why is this?
- Obsession with prestige and rankings. Lawyers tend to be hyper-competitive personalities. That helps win cases and negotiate tough deals, but it spells trouble when it leads to irrational decisions. The top large business law firms ("Am Law 100″ or "NLJ 250″) are perennially obsessed with their respective positions in the pecking order, including the most common metrics (profits per partner, revenue per lawyer, year-over-year growth), as well as qualitative factors (hiring the "best" law school graduates, recruiting the most famous partners). How do they do this?
- Money is viewed as a proxy for prestige. A handful of century-old "white shoe" firms in New York, Boston and DC used to dominate the business law world, but that changed radically in the postwar years as aggressive, entrepreneurial upstarts (often Jewish graduates of top law schools who were marginalized by anti-Semitism at the old firms) started grabbing market share and ultimately became some of the most profitable practices around. Regional firms from other cities also entered the fray, rebranding as "national" firms. How to recruit the most renowned, rainmaking partners? Make your firm as profitable as possible to attract them. How to hire the very best associates? Pay the highest starting salary.
- Associate salaries are not an efficient, free market. The top tier of large law firms is an oligopoly within each regional market. For many years leading up to 1996, when I graduated law school, all of the large New York firms payed exactly $83,000 starting salary, all of the LA firms paid $70,000, and so forth. One of a handful of the largest firms would decide when the time finally came to raise associate salaries (often Cravath or Skadden in New York), and once the new figure was announced, every other firm that wanted to be considered "top-tier" would move swiftly to match. As the most profitable legal market in the country, New York led these changes for decades, until…
- The dot-com boom changed everything. There was a severe shortage of corporate lawyers in Silicon Valley in the late 1990s as the amount of deal work exploded, with record IPO, M&A and VC activity, as well as every other type of deal you can imagine. At the same time, the cost of living in the Bay Area was spiraling upward. To compound the situation, there was an exodus of lawyers (including myself) from top-tier law firms to grab in-house opportunities at Internet companies, lured by potential stock option riches as well as other factors. Firms in SF/SV, as well as LA and other markets outside NY, decided they needed to increase associate pay.
