I was so looking forward to an Elder scrolls mmo since i played morowind, i always hopped for a coop/mmo of tes, but after seeing that the races are split up seriously depressed me.
Me and friends play this game together but not all play the same race, so the fact we will be forced to play eachothers race just to play together is a seriously big let down and turn off.
Secondly the fact that if i make a Nord then i wont be able to see like 63% of the game world, i only play 1 char in mmo's i like to build 1 char and create a story ect and spend all my time on him no alts, so the fact i will be forced to make 3 chars and 3 names and have to join 3 guilds and make 3 sets of friends will be very anoying and against everything i wish to do in an elder scrolls game, i had 1 char in skyrim so why cant i in this? being forced to be seperated from guild and friends to see the rest of the world is a cuntish thing for them to do.
Thirdly i do not see why they did not allow us to pick race and then join a faction at least or just use the factions for pvp after you picked one, if a british person wants to go join alqaeda he can do so... so removing choice from the game in such a narrow single minded way like this i fear will kill the game.
I really hope, god only knows how... that they will redesign this and let us pick our race and faction and see ALL the world on 1 char, i fear the way it is currently heading will cause the game to die out and become desolate after 3-6 months.
EDIT: TESO will be a MEGA server, meaning everyone in the world plays on 1 server, we will not get a choice of servers as the tech is built to ensure 1 big pop server forever, this means we will likely not get a cross faction server ect.

This serves one purpose, to force PVP down our throats. That's the entire point of a 3 faction system.
Those of us who think pvp in an mmo is beyond stupid just have to suffer this if we want to play the game.
The plethora of MMO's that have failed because of this model or those like it...evidently is not enough for some developers to realize that the PVP based model...DOES NOT WORK.
I really want to play this game but I've said it once and will say it again, if they do not provide a NON-pvp oriented server where I can explore and craft and fight mobs as I see fit without ganking 10 year olds ruining the game for me...I will not play it. I sure as hell will not pay for that.
If that is to be there focus...they will fail like every other game before them attempting this. They wont listen to anyone telling them this because the vocal MINORITY of pvper's rant and blather louder than pve'ers who generally don't put their 2 cents in until it's too late.
Maybe they got this moronic idea from all the other games in the TES franchise that offered PVP....oh...wait...yeah.

Either of you think that the game may just not be for you? And that it does not preclude it being great for others?
I did battle with ignorance today, and ignorance won.
To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled - because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.

Is the world split up in 3 parts, split by invis walls or something? Won't the factions ever mix outside of a PvP zone?

Maybe they will have a special PvE server. DAOC did that, and allowed all races to group together and go anywhere.
Hello, yes 3 races per faction, they are split up and quest in their own areas. Go to their main website and watch the introduction video and view a map of TESO on google, you will see the seperation, the only place we will all meet is in the middle for pvp.

OP and others you guys do not have a clue who is working on this game do you? Look at where the main leads are from and i think you can see why its factional pvp and areas. These guys are from UO and DAOC and people for years have been asking for a DAOC like game since mythic laid everyone off and devs went elsewhere to work. Even in Skyrim some races hate each other pretty bad so faction does work regardless of what some people here think. I honestly like the idea of factions just like wow DAOC WAR hell even EQ2 screwed the pooch with letting factions group together that were good and evil.
While we can understand some of you hate pvp here and do not want it in TESO if the devs want it that way respect it or do not play seriously. I do not pvp all the time anymore either but if you played DAOC you would remember that there was plenty of lore behind their pve and factions in each realm. Also this gives the game three times the amount of replay value if they keep the game locked zones away from the other factions. Think of it this way when you start a new toon you will be able to see a different story and landmass with new lore etc at least for two alts and a main. Its not so bad seriously and i do not understand why people here have to hate on the factions so much.

I could care less either way, but he did hint in the video interview today that it wasnt set in stone the 3 not being able to grouup together.
So me thinks they will have servers that you are able to play with all 3 factions.

Well firstly im mainly a pvper endgame, but not allowing me as a nord to play with my friend who is a breton is not fair, we want to pvp together but cant? as for 3x the story it really is not, if i do 3 zones on 1 char is the same as 3 zones on 3 chars, id prefer to keep all 3 zones on 1 char so i can grow my char and play only him.
being forced to play a race/faction you do not like nor want just to play with friends is fucking stupid, if they want 3 faction pvp fine, leave the pve questing zones and race restrictions out of it.
Mega server = no servers, we ALL play on ONE BIG server, think eve online or STO.

I don't think it's about the 3 faction design on it's own, a lot of people hold DAOC above all to this day, when it comes to PvP.
What I think people are really upset about is the fact that they are doing it to The Elder Scrolls, when you build a game on an already known IP, you gotta build it for the IP, not build GameX and dress it up as TES.
Especially TES, known for huge open world, go anywhere, anytime... exploring the world.. Then it doesn't really make much sense to divide the world, and limit players in where they can go... I think that's what this thread is about.
I guess they can bend the lore to fit that kind limitation if they are making TESO take place way before the single player games were happening.
I must admit though, that I haven't read up on TESO, I don't know how it will work, so I'm not really on either side, just saying.

I know who's working on this game. TES has been setting the standard for RPGs for years, it doesn't need UO or DAoC.
Some races did hate each other yet they are putting those races together in one faction - what kind of twisted logic is this? Despite what the majority of the races feel about each other, this is about developing your own character and making the choice to be racist or not.
The factions shouldn't have been racial but rather 3 different groups fighting for the crown.

This game did need a good PvP system. DAoC did have good system but they shouldn't have forced us into a faction nor should the factions have been racial. They could be lead by the different races, they could own the starting areas that each race begins at but they shouldn't have taken away the player's choice. Even if it was a requirement to join a faction before taking part in PvP/AvA.
With that said, you're pretty positive about this - I like your attitude. There isn't much we can do complaining on the forums but I'm worried that it's too late to change what they've already done.

I agree this is the worst part of the game. My friend always plays cat type characters and I play barbarian types. We will not be in the same faction and will miss much of the fun together.
Factions have traitors so unless that is a possibility they will most definately lose some long term customers.

I actually like this thing!
-IF- we are at war, I don't want to be able to freely walk into my enemies cities. That would be horribly immersion breaking. I do however believe that we should be given the freedom to go -anywhere- we can, as long as we play it smart and survive. Even into the deepest enemy territory.
If I want to do PvE "properly" in those zones, then I will create more characters. If the game is released in it's current format, I'll make a Nord bard and an full elf mage.
What I'm much more worried about is making the gameplay too simple. PvP in my opinion -REQUIRES- collision detection/body blocking. Without it PvP becomes horrible zergfest and does not allow for proper strategy in sieges and/or skirmishes. Friendly fire would be very much appreciated (see D&D rules for magic), but chances of anything like that happening in TESO, what will be more than little "casual" are equal to none.
I'm even fine with the alliances. I can't wait to put both orcs and elves to the sword. And I do like the idea of having one "territory" as the focus of PvP. Now, here's to hoping that the war can go further than the heartlands...
However, I would give the game some critique. After watching that gameplay video, the combat and the animations look terrible. I mean, the Skyrim ones are ten times better. I'm fine with "light" attacks not interrupting your enemy, but anything a bit heavier should interrupt any action what the enemy in question is taking, ala. Skyrim/Morrowind/Can't remember if Oblivion had this. If I shoot someone with a fireball, or put an arrow in their neck, I sure want them to stagger, or possibly even fall! I at least want their attacks interrupted if I get a good heavy attack in on them in melee, that's the very minimum!
PS. Now, now - no one is forcing you to do PvP, unless they can attack your lands, but this should certainly require that they control AND HOLD the heartlands! I want both, good and deep PvE and working, skill-based PvP (without breaking the immersion.)
I know that me and my friends can make alts without any trouble. And every alliance has one or more races which everyone is okay with playing. For example, one of my friends has always played TES games as a Khajiit. Well, her comments were "no problem, different characters mean different playstyles."
That's not to say that I don't understand your argument. Oh, I do. It's all good and dandy that people like to stick to a single character, but perhaps there will be somekind of a system to allow you to go anywhere to do PvE? I mean, it would be Easy to allow guesting, without breaking the immersion of war. A pass which declares you come in peace wouldn't be that hard to make, especially if they could force restrictions upon it too, as in, you cant PvP as a guest for another faction.
We´re all dead, just say it.

PreESO lore; most of the races they clumped together didn't like each other, others were friends with races from opposing factions, some races didn't give a crap and other races were looked down upon by almost everyone.
This isn't about race, it's about players making a choice to how they want to play the game. It would've made more sense that the factions would just be 3 differnet groups rather than races. During this timeline there was little to no order anywhere.

ELKIN - With two games remaining in the regular season, Starmount and Elkin closed out their home schedules tonight with Senior Night showdowns.
In Elkin, the Buckin' Elks allowed two fourth-quarter touchdowns and dropped a 21-7 decision to second-place Wilkes Central, while Starmount recorded its fourth shutout of the season with a 28-0 win over Alleghany.
After a scoreless opening quarter, Central broke through midway through the second on a 24-yard run to take a 7-0 lead.
The Elks responded when Sam Lane jumped over a defender to haul in a 45-yard bomb from Josh Strickland to tie things up at 7-all three minutes later.
Elkin forced a punt late in the half and moved to the 18-yard line after a personal foul penalty. But Coley McCulloch's field goal attempt sailed just wide right as the Elks and Eagles went into the locker rooms knotted up a 7-7.
In a defensive third quarter, neither team was able to move the ball consistently. Elkin caught a break late in the third when Cory Anderson hopped on a loose ball near midfield.
The Elks went three-and-out as the Eagles drove down the field. A four-yard touchdown run gave Central a 14-7 lead with just over six minutes remaining.
After the next Elkin drive stalled, Kody King received the snap on a fake punt but was dragged down before the first-down line, giving the Eagles the ball at the 42.
On the next play, Central iced the game with a 42-yard run down the left sideline.
A Strickland interception on fourth-and-nine at their own 26 sealed the 21-7 win for the Eagles.
With the loss, Elkin dropped to 5-4 on the year and 4-3 in the Mountain Valley Conference. All three conference losses have come to 2A schools.
In Boonville, the Rams blanked Alleghany for their fourth shutout of the year.
Starmount scored three first-half touchdowns to put the game out of reach.
With the win, the Rams remained perfect on the year at 9-0 and 7-0 in conference play. The win was also Starmount's 40th-straight MVAC win, a streak that dates back to 2007.
The Rams and Eagles will square off for the third-straight season with the conference crown on the line in the season finale. Starmount heads up to Moravian Falls next week to defend its title.
Elkin hits the field in its season finale next week in East Bend to take on Forbush.

If you watch a game, it's fun. If you play it, it's recreation. If you work at it, it's FF-XIV.
Seriously they need a guide to get ladys now? There is an easier way.
Step 1 goto the mall.
Step 2 ask every hot girl for thier phone number.
Step 3 call hot girl and go on a date.
After you both decide you are monogamous you have a girl friend. If fails keep trying, it works girls just dont want you to know it does. However if you just looking to get laid then goto a bar and do it. Faster and more risks of disease win some to lose some i guess.

People really expect gamers to have any kind of social etiquette? What game have you guys been playing where this actually exists?
Mature people in the world of gaming is the exception, not the norm:
First, you have to take into account that a large number of young young people play.
Second, you have to take into account that in a competetive environment, even the most mature of people will revert to a primal "fling poo" state.
Third, you have to take into account digital courage (i.e. i'm safe at home in my house, you can't touch me no matter what i say!)
Lastly, some people use games/internet simply to be polar opposites of their true selves (i.e. vent steam).. if they are sitting around all day being curtious and kind and helping little old ladies across the street, there's the potential for surpressed anger/resentment to build up inside. Better they act like a moron online then do something idiotic in real life.

Sorry, but reading all this makes author look in my mind like a cheerleader captain girl and not as a professional gamer.
I understand where Pokket's frustration comes but she acts as if she didn't understand looks, position, fame - all come with unwanted attention.
Wouldn't it be better if she just educated people how to REALLY approach a girl (and many don't know that) instead of making fun of people all while screaming "Look how many creeps want to get into my pants!"?
And creeps are really not a problem exclusive to gamer girls. If they really bug you why not just call the cops?
Also, because you base your identity on the fact you are a gamer girl and not a gamer, people who are often annoyed by chicks pretending to be gamers will doubt your credibility AS A GAMER.
Also, this is internet. So, you know... yeah...
So all of this looks like gloating about getting attention.
Well you obviously got ine seeing as how I registered just to comment on this. But not because it's a good text but because of how BAD it makes you look.

Honestly, I would take the last one (you are too attractive to be into the game) as a complement.
It's kind of like when you are doing so well in an FPS that everyone calls you a h4xx0r. They basically can't accept that you can be that good, so you must be cheating. Ultimate complement.
I know that I would feel pretty good about myself if someone thought that I was so out-of-their-league attractive that I couldn't possibly be into the same game they are lol :).

As I pointed out earlier. She does seem to have a high opinion of herself which sems to blind her to the fact that the quoted lines she uses from user comments about her do not actually reflect a desire to be with her. I don't really think the angle of complaining about how bad it must be for her to be geting all this unwanted male attention is a good way to go when without looking at usernames I would be tempted to believe that some of these comments may have been posted by other women given how the also seem consistent with how women tear each other down.

So I am left to conclude that because I am female, that is the only reason I am successful. So basically I should feel ashamed because of my gender... something that I cannot control. Something I was born as. Should I feel ashamed and wish I were male? That way at least my "success" would be "real".
You are sadly mistaken. I am successful for many other reasons beyond being a female. If you can't look past my gender, then you'll never see this, but despite people like you it really hasn't stopped me in my tracks or slowed me down. I stream, write columns, record, edit, and upload gameplay videos, guides, and vlogs, go to game conventions and interview developers, can have a real discussion about games (sometimes to the point of argument lol), and I even worked in the industry as QA for over a year.
I don't show off my "goods" and I don't make reference to my gender ever being a bonus. Women like me have the problem of everyone pre-judging them based on their gender. Automatically discrediting them and linking their "success" to the fact that they have boobs (even if they aren't ones to EVER take advantage of their assets - and yes there are plenty of girls out there like that).
Guys just have a different problem: there are more to compete with so it is harder to get noticed.
I'm sorry, but men like you just sound bitter.

I find that writing a nice article filled with fairies, sparkles, and sunshine sauce would have completely ruined the point. The point isn't a nice one, it is a negative one. It is one that I feel needs to be changed. Not for me, but for all women. Go to ANY female's youtube channel and check out some of her comments. She's bound to get crap just for being a female.

So I started getting some really nasty troll emails from this particular asshat, who seemed to think that his anonymity protected him. So I decided to teach him otherwise. I tracked him down and learned his name, where he worked (a professor @ MIT o.O) and where he lived, right down to the street and apartment building. I then echoed that information back to him.
So, he replies, in true troll fashion: "You know my name and where I live, so what?"
I replied back, "Thanks for confirming, I'm coming to visit."
I never heard back from him again. :)
Moral of the story: There's no place to hide on the Internet.

|I ordered this gift for my mum's birthday, she lives in Australia and I am in Ireland. Ordering gifts online is always a risk as you are never sure how the package will be presented, but Nelle+Lizzy did the most beautiful job with both the necklace and the gift wrapping! My mum was so happy, she loved it and I am so grateful to you for making her day special, even though i couldn't be there to give it to her in person. Thanks again!

Full Circle
Dad led his own band as vocals/guitar since before I was born and, to my joy, bought me a Drum set at age 7. (Somewhere along the way after watching them jam, it was Drums I wanted.) I eventually took lessons where I was stuck on a snare drum playing the different roll structures for months on end and lost interest in that, but not before playing my first for the school concert at age 9. I was asked into my first actual band at 10.
The lessons stuck with me, at least as far as the importance of rudiments go. I played in bands all through Junior- and High School. I never got really "great", but did get asked to do some session work for a couple of bands at Solar Studios in Halifax back in the 80's.
<sad music cuts in>
I moved out of home after High School, and being poor with no transportation, drums became unfeasable. They were just getting wrecked leaving them places, and I couldn't afford cabs to get them around. By the time I was 20, I had to quit. I took up acoustic guitar, and began learning to play that and writing songs. Played around here and there, even won a contest or two, but, eventually, I just became caught up in working, and that faded as well. From the age of 31 to 45, I barely picked up an instrument or even bought CD's.
<music brightens a bit>
Then, one day, I hauled my old acoustic out of the closet. The poor old thing. I relearned a bit on that, but decided something was missing, and decided I needed to be a "cool lead player". :) So, for the next 3 years, I was buying amps and guitars and pedals and getting bands together and having a rocking good time. Even bought a set of Yamaha DTX520 for the drummers to use if they wanted (but never really touched them, myself). It was going quite well, I managed to transition through line up changes, and learned a lot of stuff about "leading bands" (basically made a lot of mistakes). We were playing out, but eventually got into a situation that I got a bit fed up with and quit the whole band.
So, there I was in band-building mode again (just a couple months or so ago as I write). I was kinda taking a week or two off before starting up again and the drummer's drums were still sitting there in my jam spot. And I kept looking at them and I got to thinking. And thinking. And, then...
I realized all the barriers to drum playing were accidentally eliminated. I now had not only transportation, but my own dedicated jam spot (20x20 garage). All the drummers hated playing electronic drums, so I'd also renovated and sound treated it so we could use acoustic drums.
I set up my DTX kit to give it a try and it was interesting. Then compelling. Then I decided to play drums again. So, then, I needed an acoustic kit. My last drummer (Mike) is just such an awesome guy, I'd almost go back to guitar if he asked, just to have him back in my band. He sold me his Gretsch Maple Calalina kit at a super good deal. I still had a couple of (now vintage) Zildgian crashes, and Paiste HH... He fixed me up with some other essentials and really did a lot for me. Did I say he's an awesome guy? Yeah I'd probably play guitar for him if he asked.
Anyway, the reason I titled this "Full Circle" is because my first band was at age 10 with a certain guitar player named Dave and, now at age 50, my very first ever jam with real people included that same guitar player Dave from that very first band! Dave has his own band and plays pretty regularly, but we had never played again together and lost touch for many years. We happened to meet on the social media and talked about him playing guitar next time I was looking for someone. Well, I hope it is prophetic; it's at least a *little* coincedental that the first time I was in a band on drums is with the same guy in the first band I'm playing when I resume 40 years later! The gods must are at work here. :)
<wind down the outro music>
So (as of today) I have a couple irons in the fire. Have a duo thing on guitar with a female vocal/keyboard player to keep up on guitar work and writing, have a band I am starting with my old buddy Dave, and have taken up with a band being formed by one of the guitar players I worked with in one of my previous guitar player bands. (It does not pay to burn bridges in music!)
Well, that's the short version, anyway.
See you on the board!
Stands and stuff are cluttered around. I tuck DTX it away for jams and people and stands go there.

For the 15th time in his career, Howard Coble placed his hand on the Bible last Thursday and was sworn in as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives making him the longest-serving Republican representative in North Carolina history as a member of the 113th Congress.
"In November, I was honored to receive the support of the citizens of the newly-drawn Sixth District of North Carolina," Rep. Coble stated, "I look forward to serving the 10 counties of the Sixth District for the next two years. With our Washington staff surrounding me, I was pleased to be sworn in again by Speaker John Boehner. I am looking forward to getting to work in solving the problems facing our great nation, particularly with my new subcommittee assignment."
Rep. Coble was recently named as the Chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet. He will be a member of both the Judiciary and the Transportation and Infrastructure committees.
Due to congressional redistricting, beginning Jan. 3, the counties of Surry, Stokes and Rockingham no longer fall within the boundaries of North Carolina's Fifth Congressional District that was represented by Republican U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx.

By Lawrence from USA on 2009-06-14 12:40:27Things I liked:That I can hunt with it and leave my gun cocked until ready to shoot with no damage or weakening to the spring. It seams to have increased my power. No twang when shooting. I have the gamo CFX and I can group them at 30 yards in a dime now, But I also have the GRT III trigger. I Just Love my gun Now. It's awsome !!!
Things I would have changed:Maybe a little cheaper in cost.
What others should know:Shipping was real fast. No problems what so ever.

By Burke from USA on 2010-06-25 09:52:11Things I liked:Pyramyd Air has an excellent service department that bent over backwards to help me with the issues we had with trying to install this conversion in my Gamo CFX.
Things I would have changed:Make a gas piston to properly fit and operate in my Gamo CFX.
What others should know:My CFX is an older one and the gas piston does not properly fit mine and was causing the gun to literally tear itself apart. After numerous phone calls and two trips back to Pyramyd Air, they have removed the piston and reinstalled my spring. Unfortunately, the gas piston will not work in all springers.

Handmade in Germany by Steiff, the world's foremost authority on stuffed animals since 1880, this is the exact replica of "George," their classic teddy bear released in 1926. The teddy bear has five-way disc joints in the head, legs, and arms that enable realistic movement and allow the teddy bear to maintain positions such as sitting upright or holding its arms out to hug its owner. Intricate details characteristic of Steiff quality, such as the hand-embroidered nose and mouth, closely shorn snout, and the classic brass "button in ear" debossed with the Steiff logo, certify its superior quality and authenticity. Its woven plush polyester is a softer, cozier material than the mohair used in the original, and the teddy bear is made to exceptionally stringent standards of flame-resistance, seam tensile strength, and colorfastness. Machine washable. Ages 4 and up. 15 3/4" H x 10" W x 7" D. (13 1/2 oz.)

Comments On Apr 24, 2015:Put this sprocket on my bike a few rides ago. Had a 48 tooth on there and replaced it with this Primary Drive 49 tooth sprocket. It looks great and the larger sprocket size made a HUGE difference. A cheap and easy way to add some low-end power.

Comments On Feb 11, 2015:What you're paying for is a basic colored aluminum sprocket with the channels for directing dirt away from the chain only machined on one side. The other side is entirely flat. This is not true for high-end brand name sprockets which are machined on both sides. Otherwise you'll never notice a difference. Seemed slightly heavier than my old Renthal of the same size.

Comments On Jan 28, 2015:Awesome color with the anodized orange. A bit lighter than stock. Used it on 2 pretty hard trail rides now and hasn't gotten dinged up or anything.

Comments On Jan 18, 2015:This is a great product ' anyone who is looking in to getting a new sprocket should buy this because its cheap and dose the same effect as renthal or vortex also it saves you 15$ compared to other high leading brands which mean more gas money for the road!!!

A great choice for clear water scenarios, the Strike Baby Burner Spinnerbait is a premium, down-sized spinnerbait weighing only 1/4-ounce. Built for speed, it's equipped with smaller versions of the Strike King RAZ-R-BLADE high RPM blades. These thin cut willow blades are designed to spin fast and cause less drag than traditional willow blades, and they also help keep the bait from rising to the surface while increasing flash. The shape of the Baby Burner's head also features extra weight on the hook shank to reduce drag and keep the bait running true, while a super sharp Gamakatsu hook seals the deal. Perfect for those times when the bite gets tough, the Strike King Baby Burner Spinnerbait provides the smaller profile you've been looking for with the performance you expect from Strike King Spinnerbaits.

Big 12 Honors Silva, Martinelli
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University seniors Frances Silva and Sarah Martinelli were named Scholar-Athletes of the Year by the Big 12 Conference today.

Silva, the 2013 Capital One Academic All-America of the Year for NCAA Division I women's soccer, capped her four-year Mountaineer career with several academic honors, including a spot on the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Women's Scholar All-America Frist Team. A NSCAA/Continental Tire All-America Second Team honoree, she was one of 15 semifinalists for the 2013 M.A.C. Hermann Trophy. A unanimous selection as the Big 12 Conference Offensive Player of the Year, Silva scored a spot on the all-conference first team and led the Big 12 in goals (15), assists (13) and points (43).
Silva graduated last May with a 3.97 undergraduate grade point average (GPA) in broadcast journalism. She is working toward a master's in sport management.
The Mountaineers (16-4-3, 7-1 Big 12), the two-time defending Big 12 regular-season champions and 2013 Big 12 Soccer Tournament champions, finished the year ranked No. 12 in the NSCAA/Continental Tire College Rankings. WVU closed its year with a 1-0 loss at No. 1-seed Virginia Tech on Nov. 22 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Martinelli's time as a Mountaineer included an Academic All-Big 12 First Team selection in each of the past two seasons, while maintaining a 3.72 GPA. She finished eighth overall at the Big 12 Championships with a personal-best 6k time of 20:44.9, earning All-Big 12 honors. Her 6k time was the best by a Mountaineer runner since Sarah Anne-Brault ran a 20:36.8 at the 2012 NCAA Championships. Martinelli came in 22nd place overall the NCAA Regional meet to earn All-Mid-Atlantic Region distinctions.
Martinelli was named the Big 12 Conference's Runner of the Week in early October, following her efforts at the Paul Short Run in Bethlehem, Pa. During her career, Martinelli was a Big East Academic All-Star, named to the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll and recognized on the Garrett Ford Academic Honor Roll. She will graduate in May with a degree in exercise physiology.
Honorees were selected as the award-winners for their respective sports based on a vote of each sport's head coaching group. Coaches were not permitted to vote for their own student-athletes.
The Big 12 Conference established the Big 12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year Awards in 2012-13 to recognize its outstanding student-athletes. Honorees must be a junior or a senior with a cumulative GPA of 3.20 or higher and must have participated in at least 60 percent of the team's scheduled contests with a minimum of one year in residence at the institution.

Brendan M. Buckley
- I have spent the past several years focused on dendrochronology in the Asian tropics, particularly mainland Southeast Asia. This work resulted in two long records from north Thailand and north Vietnam, respectively, that appear in Buckley et al. (2007 Climate Dynamics), and Sano, Buckley and Sweda (2009, also in Climate Dynamics) showing that periods of decadal drought occurred during the past 5 centuries and often coincided with societal turmoil. Most recently, we developed a near-millennial aged tree ring chronology from southern Vietnam, at 12 degrees north latitude, from the rare cypress Fokienia hodginsii. This record was used to reconstruct the hydroclimate for the region going back 750 years, and highlighted periods of multi-decadal drought that coincided with the collapse of Angkor (These results are now published as Buckley et al. 2010, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences). Furthermore, we show the links between sea surface temperature variability (i.e., ENSO) in the tropical Pacific and hydroclimate over mainland Southeast Asia. During the course of this research I have found multiple tree species from the mountains of Vietnam and Laos that have annual rings and can be used for developing records similar to that for Fokienia. This work is ongoing, and ought to make significant contribution to the fields of paleoclimatology and tropical forest ecology.
- Prior to the work in Southeast Asia I spent years working along the northern treeline in Alaska and Canada, working largely on reconstructing temperature. I also spent years in the southern hemisphere, studying the long-lived souther conifer Huon pine, of the family Podocarpaceae, as well as New Zealand's ancient Kauri, of the family Auracauriaceae. In all of these studies I like to look at tree rings as incorporating multiple aspects of the environment, and taking into account the physiology and ecological aspects of how trees grow. I am currently focused on understanding in far greater detail the physiological and ecological aspects of tree growth in response to climate. There is much exciting work yet to be done, and along with my colleagues from around the world, I plan to be addressing these important questions for a long time to come.

In January Communia was invited to participate in the European Commission's 'Licenses for Europe' stakeholder dialogue. This stakeholder dialogue is one part of the Commission's agenda to 'modernise copyright in the digital economy'. Communia participated in Working Group 4 on Text and Data Mining for Scientific Research Purposes.
Unfortunately the first meeting of this working group which took place on the 4th of February in Brussels did not live up to the expectations raised by the Commission's earlier announcement. It quickly became evident that the stakeholder dialogue is based on a flawed assumption ('more licensing will bring copyright in line with the requirements of the digital economy') and that the process was designed to prevent a serious discussion about how to unlock the potential of scientific text and data mining.
Given this the participating organisations representing academia, researcher community and civil society (including Communia), have decided to make these concerns public in the form of an open letter to the Commissioners Barnier, Geoghegan-Quinn, Kroes and Vassiliou (re-published at the end of this post). The letter which was published today raises a number of concerns that need to be addressed before the stakeholder dialogue on text and data mining can continue.
Chief among these concerns is the belief that in order to have an open discussion about the reform, possible solutions cannot be limited to licensing. From our perspective text and data mining cannot be solved by re-licensing texts to libraries, researchers or the public. What Europe needs is clarity that text and data mining works that are lawfully available does not require permission by rights holders. A stakeholder dialogue that simply declares this position off limits can hardly be called a dialogue at all. In the case of Public Domain content, there is a risk that a focus upon licensing will lead to unlawful re-licensing of content that is out of copyright.
In addition the whole process needs to become more transparent and needs to include all stakeholders (including academics and the Commissions own Research and Innovation Directorate General, which is currently being limited to attend as an observer).
The open letter has been published in the hope of getting the Commission to change the terms under which the stakeholder dialogue is being conducted. Should this not be the case, Communia and the other organisations that have signed the letter are very likely to step away from the dialogue. As the list of supporting signatories shows this is supported by a growing number of academics who are rightfully concerned about the prospects for conducting data driven research in Europe.

I'm the one that voted "insane". I would recommend NOT building one....
The HK21/11 series is based on a G3. Think of a G3 with reinforcement plates on the sides. OK. The roller-lock system is prone to wear by peening the inside of the receiver. This causes some slop and can cause issues. IIRC it was to do with lock-up and the inside of the "rails" peening out and causing cycle issues.
The quick-swap barrels are prohibitively expensive. Was as much as PKM barrels but more difficult to find. If Cal's didn't have it, you couldn't buy it.
On a positive note, the resale value WILL be maintained! These seem to be popular. Most likely due to the HK quick-change trigger pack that allows you to easily switch to class-3 if/when you get a registered sear.
I did a great deal of research on these a few years ago and arrived at the conclusion that while a clever design/package, it just wasn't up to par with its bigger cousins.
Do yourself a favor - spend some quality time with the search tool on HKPRO and (gasp) hk54.com (Todd's board). If you can still dig up those old threads, you'll read what I read about the reliability issues.
Arguably, it may be a non-issue if you keep the number of rounds you feed it down to a manageable rate.
I don't know - I'm on the fence. I do think it was mikesmachines or something like that that was making the HK23 (.223 version) around the time the Shrike was going to start shipping () but I stopped looking shortly thereafter.
Personally I think I'd tackle an RPD before a -21.

ICBA Launches "My Community, My Bank" Facebook Fan Page
Fan Page is Next Step of ICBA's Larger Campaign to End Too-Big-To-Fail
Washington, D.C. (April 5, 2010)—The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) today launched the "My Community, My Bank" Facebook fan page, as part of the next phase of its campaign to educate policymakers and the public about the negative consequences associated with too-big-to-fail and the need to rein in the nation's too-big-to-fail institutions through meaningful financial regulatory reform.
"ICBA's efforts are making a real impact with real people who believe that enough is enough," said Karen Tyson, ICBA senior vice president of communications. "Americans from across the nation are making their voices heard through the already established 'My Community, My Bank' Web site. The launch of the new 'My Community, My Bank' Facebook fan page will only enhance the debate about reining in the mega institutions that caused the financial crisis and nearly toppled our economy more than one year ago. Ending too-big-to-fail is the only way to truly safeguard our financial system and America's taxpayers. ICBA is proud to be at the forefront of this critical discussion."
The "My Community, My Bank" Facebook fan page will provide followers with relevant information about the issue, as well as give fans a venue to comment and share with others. The Facebook fan page is the next step in the continuation of ICBA's larger campaign that includes grassroots mobilization, media outreach and award-winning advertising.
In September, ICBA launched the "My Community, My Bank" Web site, which offers education and information and allows individuals to send high-impact personal messages to Congress supporting the need to repair too-big-to-fail. After visitors upload or send their message to Congress, they can virally share the site with friends, urging them to also show their support for the community banks that put the interests of friends and neighbors on Main Street ahead of speculators on Wall Street.

Do you think Ronaldo will be a good player for Real? Does the Galacticos need another offensive player?
Ronaldo will be a good player for any team. But the Galacticos are not the galacticos anymore it seems. It can seem like they are trying to end their galacticos style in the transfer market and instead just buy quality TEAM players that fit the positions they need players in.
Would have been interesting to see Ronaldo at Real, but I believe it will be many years until United let their star leave the club.
Real with Schuster is building a really nice team in my opinion. They have a few great players like van Nistelrooy, Sneijder, Robben, Raul and few youngsters like Higuain.
We can compare Ronaldo to Figo (at his good age when he moved to Madrid from Barcelona). It was a good step for Real, but then he was really needed there. Real at the moment does not play with classical wingers. The only one that plays this style is Robben.
Ronaldo may be also used as a strikers as he scores many goals.
Player of his quality is definitely a good choice, but the question is about his team spirit. Will he be able to adjust to a team where he won't be the most important player on the pitch.
If Schuster decides that he will they can get him.
A few days ago Barca board admitted that they should had sold Ronaldinho year earlier. The same story may be with Ronaldo. We need to see how will this season go, but it may be the best for both Man U and Ronaldo to say goodbye after this season. I think that after this season they still will earn a lot on this transfer, and Ronaldo has his best season in United behind him.
You have some good points there.
I actually believe Real Madrid are playing better football now then they did with the "galacticos". It seems like they have a better team spirit and the players are working for the team and not themselves.
When I say that, count Raul out. He is not a team player at all at my opinion. He is bad for real Madrid, he is way over the top and is a bad influence at the club. What do you feel about Raul?
With Barca-Ronaldinho, yes they should have sold him earlier, but he was over the top then. It does not seem like Ronaldo is over the top so far at least. He is not back to his best allready, but it is not too long ago since he returned from his bad injury. I believe Ronaldo will be an important player at united this season as well. Real know they have to splash out very big, if they want to get ferguson's attention. But I believe ferguson is not interested in selling a player until he knows he is over the top.
This season may be good for Ronaldo. But he already won everything possible with Man U. He is still very young. What is his motivation in England?
Real would need to splash a really big money, but in my opinion the end of this season will be the best for him to leave, and for Man u also, as they will get biggest money. If he stays he won't be so expensive.

NEW YORK As criticism over sugary sodas intensifies, Coke, Pepsi and Dr Pepper are rolling out new vending machines that will put calorie counts right at your fingertips.
The counts will be on the buttons of the machines, which will also feature small posted messages reminding the thirsty that they can choose a low-calorie drink.
The vending machines will launch in Chicago and San Antonio municipal buildings in 2013 before appearing nationally.
The American Beverage Association, which represents Coca-Cola Co., PepsiCo Inc. and Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc., said Monday that the machines will increase the availability of lower-calorie drinks and remind customers to consider alternatives with messages such as Try a Low-Calorie Beverage.
We have market research that says consumers really like this they like choice, they like the ability to make choices, said Susan Neely, president of the American Beverage Association.
But she said the group has not done any research on whether providing such information impacts the choices people actually end up making. Notably, the ABA has aggressively fought New York Citys ban on the sale of large sugary drinks, as well as measures in other municipalities that would tax sodas.
A mock-up of the new machine provided by Coca-Cola showed 20-ounce bottles of its flagship drink and Sprite inside vending machines, with small labels on the glass stating 240 calories.
The move comes as the soda industry has come under increasing fire for fueling rising obesity rates.
Last month, New York City approved a first-in-the-nation plan to prohibit the sale of sugary drinks over 16 ounces in the citys restaurants, movie theaters and stadiums. The beverage industry aggressively fought the measure, saying it takes away customer choice.
Soft drink makers are also dealing with shifting consumer habits. Soda consumption per person has been declining in the U.S. since 1998, according to the Beverage Digest. The decline is partly the result of the growing number of drink options, such as flavored waters, bottled teas and sports drinks.
As a result, Coke, Pepsi and Dr Pepper are focusing on developing more diet drinks, as well as expanding into other types of drinks to reduce their reliance on sodas.
Coca-Cola, based in Atlanta, notes that it already provides calorie information on the front of its drinks rather than just on the nutrition panel on the back.
There is no timetable for when all machines will be converted.
Vending machines account for about 13 percent of sales volume, a figure that has remained relatively unchanged in recent years, according to Beverage Digest.
Although other factors such as a lack of physical activity and overeating also contribute, soda consumption is often identified for playing a role in rising obesity rates.
Last month, the New England Journal of Medicine published a decades-long study of more than 33,000 Americans that showed sugary beverages interact with genes that affect weight, meaning they are especially harmful to people who are hereditarily predisposed to weight gain.
Two other major experiments have found that giving children and teens calorie-free alternatives to the sugary drinks they usually consume leads to less weight gain.
Taken together, scientists say the results strongly suggest that sugary drinks cause people to pack on the pounds.

Google used to group the options from the search sidebar so you can quickly find the filters related to location, visited pages and the different ways to present search results. All these groups have been merged and Google only kept the group that lets you restrict the results to recent web pages. Google also removed the "related searches" view which showed a list of related searches at the top of the page and allowed you to compare the results for different searches.
"Based on your search and the Google property you've selected, you'll see a customized list of filtering tools. We'll automatically show you the tools that seem most relevant to your search, so you won't always see all of these tools," explains Google. To display all the filters, click "more search tools".
