I have been looking at DF:UW for some time now, I am an old school mmo gamer and am just sick to death of all the post WoW era where - - everyone is equal, solo everything, linear story telling, no one talks because no one has too, self rezz where I died, hand holding, pink unicorns, glittery rainbows, zero thought, with pretty graphics bull shit that is out in mass production......... /end rant.
So I am looking for more information about this game, and for some reason it is very difficult to find anything specific. The only thing I can find is the devs jaw jacking about their game (which tells you very little, and are mostly bias anyway).
I have come to understand that this is a reboot, so knowing a little about Darkfall the original will probably help me understand more.. If I am having trouble getting information, perhaps there isn't any right now, But I though I would ask anyway. I would like to pose some questions if anyone would be good enough to answer and expand on them for me.
1) What races are in this game? I know darkfall had some diverse races including dwarfs (MY FAVE!!!). Will this game have the same or more races?
2) They use the term DarkFall Reboot, can we elaborate a little on what the really means? Are we talking about a completely new game engine and physics? New zones? New character models and animations?
2a) Looking at gameplay video from DF 1, I noticed that the character movement and combat was rather clunky. Will DF:UW be more modern and fluid, like what we would expect in a 2012 release?
3) DF1 apparently didn't have a leveling system, instead you worked up your skills, I like the sound of that, but what exactly does that mean? Will skills cap? Are there a finite number of skills you can learn on one character?
4) Purchase price of the game plus subscription? Cash shop? Non of the above?
5) The PvP sounds both great, and disturbing. Will guards protect you in town? or will i get ganked while selling my junk to a vendor?
6) How are the grouping mechanics? Is it classic mmo set up, needing a tank a healer and a buffer to tackle dungeons?
7) Is Darkfall 1 still going on? Or does this game replace that game?
8) Will nostalgia carry players through out dated game mechanics? Or can a new player enjoy this as if it is a 2012 worthy video game?

Dos the race you choose have any influence in the game play? What I mean by that is, can I join as a Orc a Human guild? Are there towns where I get killed by NPC's for having the "wrong" faction? If there are any negative sides to factions what would that be?
Thx for infos

Whats the Darkfall community like these days? I recall back in the days when Darkfall was just a forum full of ex UO'ers pining away for a game to rekindle the fire and the forum community seemed to be pretty nice, helpful and mature.
At the moment I am used to playing with a mostly older, slower paced, crowed in EVE Online vs the type I have encountered in games that are heavy on questing and instancing.

But most people if you get in mumble/vent with them are cool. I'm 25 and I find more people that I can relate to than not. There are some groups of really young players (like 12-16) scattered around in our community and I avoid them like the plague.

There's a lot of people who go on those forums to make fun of rival clans and mock anyone trying to have a real discussion. On the other hand, there's a lot of productive polling and discussion there, too.
If you post heavy on the official forums, you'll probably be called a non-factor quite a few times. (This is my number one pet peeve of the DF1 community).

Forumfall is a pvp arena with words.
In game, the community was really good. It was usually nothing but friendly conversations with people who ganked me, or I them. Sometimes pointers were given but really it boiled down to your attitude.

i might add that dungeons can lead to boss monster ( stronger mobs,better loot), that dungeons will have traps and different levels.
This is a very old video of the first versions of this dungeon revamping:
So player models and mobs can be outdated
At first this looks boring but wait when this turns into a battlefield
I might also say that we only have the faction capitals and 3 satellite cities to each capital. these are no PvP zones to help out beginners.
90% is still FFA PVP everyone you see can be an enemy so make friends....

This is my quote.
I'm pretty sure that you're wrong about that statement that there will be NPC areas where you can be attacked.
The engine, from what we understand, has been mostly reworked based on the first engine. So at the very core, it's the same engine, but much improved. Aside from new capabilities such as the new environmental sound, lightning etc, the key thing is that it's a much more modular engine now. This means that they can adjust/change/add/remove things a lot faster, and a lot easier. In the first DF game, it took them weeks, even months, to implement even a simple patch/change, because the engine was so messed up, it didn't allow for any flexibility, since it was built on 10+ years of coding, piles and piles of code on top of code, the structure was lost. Now they finally rebuilt the engine from scratch if you will, of course using the code from the first engine and properly writing it, with structure and modular approach.
I wouldn't say they have new physics, they simply adjusted some physics values. They added "momentum" for instance, where you 'i guess' can't turn 180 instantly. They should have also adjusted physics of bunnyhopping because it was retarded in DF 1.
As far as the world goes, it's basically the same old world, BUT completely re-skinned. What this means is that the world map will look more or less the same, albeit just a tiny bit smaller because they cut out a lot of empty space, mostly in water area. However, what's on this map has been changed drastically. For instance, all player holdings have been reworked, rearranged, moved and otherwise made completely new. The same goes for all the NPC cities, the same goes for all the villages in the game. That's a lot of new stuff. Furthermore mobs, mob locations, mob loot tables, dungeons, all have been reworked as well, so if something existed at a particular spot in DF1, something else, or nothing, will exist at the same spot in DF: UW. This is not even taking into account new shaders, lightning and textures added on top of everything else. I hope that kind of paints the picture of the world. While it might look oddly familiar to veterans like me, it will at the same time look very very different.
As far as modules and animations, yes on both. New player modules, where all races have been "normalized", meaning they all have the same hitbox and can wear the same armor. To somebody that hasn't played DF much the animations might seem off, but to me they definitely look much improved over the first game. But with that said, animations have never been a strong point of this game, but at least now it looks presentable enough unlike when the game launched the first time. With new modules come completely redesigned and reskinned armor and weapons, both in terms of stats and looks, so in an essence, every last bit of gear was created from scratch for this new 'reboot' of the game.
Now once you get past the visual representation of the game, there are mechanics, which have even bigger impact on the gameplay. The biggest change is the addition of "Roles", or really, Classes. In Darkfall 1, you could level every skill and every spell in the game. Not only could you level all of it... you actually HAD to level all of it if you wanted to compete. In Darkfall 1, you could use all the skills and spells at the same time, everybody was jack of all trades, master of everything. This killed Darkfall 1, because as the game went on, the harder and harder it became for new players to catch up...and we're talking about months and months and months of grinding to become viable in PVP, it was an ultimate self suicide by design flaw.
So back to DF: UW, Roles (classes), there's 4 of them now. Within each class/role, there are 4 different schools, and you can pick 2 out of the 4 schools, a primary and secondary. Each school will have 5 skills/spells, 4 of which are regular skills and 1 is ultimate. Whichever school you assign to be your primary, you will get to use the ultimate from that schools. And whichever school you set as your secondary you will only get to use the 4 base spells (no ultimate), PLUS, cooldowns and mana/stamina cost for the skills from secondary school will be increased. In an essence, being a Fire + Air mage, is NOT the same as being an Air + Fire mage. It's also important to stress out that you can change what role you are, and you will not lose progress when you do this, but there will be cooldown.
Most importantly, this means that you will have access to only 9 spells from your class. There are also common spells and skills that you always have regardless of which class you play, and we are pretty sure there is a total of 10 of those common abilities, these are things like your self heals and other utility spells. So when it's all said and done, you're looking at less than 20 spells that you can use at any one time, compare that to 100+ that you could use (had to level) in Darkfall 1 and you will realize how huge this change is.
The new players can join this new game, specialize in one role and be just as effective as every veteran using the same role. They don't have to grind everything, they can quickly simply stick with one role and become viable in PVP in no time. For veterans, once they have mastered their first role and schools within the roles, then they can switch and level/try other stuff. The only advantage that veterans will have (aside from combat experience) is that they will have more choices what they want to spec as to best suit their needs for any given situation.

This is what I did this weekend:
I made a quilt & a pattern to match. This is one of my very favorite patterns for baby quilts because it looks harder than it is, it's the perfect size to grow with baby, it works great for a boy or a girl, and can make a really cute eye spy quilt. I made this quilt using the same pattern. The quilt in the picture is in my etsy shop, although it does look mighty cute taped to my wall…it might want to stay there instead.
The pattern is also available in my etsy shop as a PDF. It's 29 pages stuffed full of pictures & instructions for making this quilt from start to finish, including tutorials on basting, free motion quilting, and binding (hand & machine sewn). There's also some sizing instructions at the end included if you want to make this baby quilt into a toddler bed sized quilt. *** If there aren't any in the shop when you check, stop back by I'll be re-listing them throughout the day.
Truthfully I hate writing patterns. It makes my head hurt. Which is usually why they are free tutorials on my blog. With this quilt though, I wanted to make more of a quilting reference guide, so that a beginning or intermediate sewer could have not only a pattern, but also reference material for future projects. Plus it took forever…….and my bum hurts enough to prove it. :)

The group, which is a committee of the Jones County People Looking Ahead Now grassroots organization, meets monthly and has previously sponsored two art shows and several wine tastings.
Plans are being made for other social events for the county, but the Jones County Folk Arts and Heritage Festival is their largest undertaking to date. The event was scheduled to take place last year but planning did not begin in time to pull it off.
Committee chairman Mae Thurston has enlisted the aid of Heather Busby, who is experienced in putting a festival together as the former Gray Station Better Hometown manager.
Busby created a Facebook page for the event and said she has been receiving inquiries from vendors.
She explained that folk art is an expression of the world's traditional cultures and the festival is intended to be a celebration of Jones County's rich and diverse history. The festival will be held on the square in Clinton.

He responded quickly and we arranged to meet. He came to the house to meet us and explained different approaches that would save our survivors time and trouble. He then requested minimal information that was pertinent to the disbursement of our estate. About a week after we provided the information, he visited again with all documents prepared for signature.
And he provided much more than only the estate documents. He provided a binder that also included information our designees would need in the event of one of us passing - financial accounts, insurance policies, mortgages and loans, document locations, contact information, medication lists and doctors, pet information, etc. It's an executor handbook that allows us to have everything in one place.
We have everything we need at 1/5 of the price of an attorney. The whole process from first to final meeting took 2 weeks.
January we e-mailed them a couple of times and got no response. February we call and leave a message. Couple weeks later we get an e-mail from saying they'll call. No call. We e-mailed back and then he called. Apologized, he had been out sick.

AT&T rolling back upgrade eligibility dates for next iPhone?
We have some good news for those of you who are AT&T customers as it appears the carrier is rolling back upgrade eligibility dates for early adopters of last years iPhone 3GS. I have been keeping an eye on my upgrade date online for the past two weeks waiting for it to change from 11/20 with no luck just yet but a MobileCrunch reader has noticed a change to their account.
"Not sure if anyone [..] has noticed this same thing, but my Upgrade Eligibility date on my AT&T account switched from 11/21 to 6/21 in the last day or so. I bought a 3GS on launch day last year, and my upgrade date read 11/21 since then. A few other folks in my office have noticed the same changes happening to their accounts as well."
Could Monday June 21st be the actual release date of the next iPhone? We are leaning towards no considering his original update was 11/21 while mine is 11/20 and based off that assumption, my upgrade date should change to 6/20 which falls on a Sunday. All of the speculation will come to an end at WWDC in the beginning of June. Until then, check your accounts to see if any changes have been made and let us know in the comments below!

AT&T rolling back upgrade eligibility dates for next iPhone?
craps, still at 11/20 for me. I got a 3Gs launch week at discounted pricing (399) not upgrade pricing.
Mine just says an error has occured and I have to call a 800 number to find out...to lazy to do that right now :(
They definately changed upgrade dates, I was eligible for my upgrade in May of 2011 and I just checked now and i'm now eligible in December 17, coincedentilly I activated my acct on Dec 16th. So it will have been a full year and they usually wait till a year and a half fr from the activatation date. Good info to know since I work at a Radioshack and we sell the iPhone. It will help us close much easier.
I bought the 3g on October 1, 2008 so I should be due for a new phone until the end of September. However, I just checked and my date has been moved up to 6/2, nearly 4 months earlier and several weeks before WWDC.
If not I'll upgrade on someone elses's line on the account.
Mine still shows 11/20 :(
Oh, and I got my 3gs on launch day as well...
I'm so hoping Rogers or Robers rather, will follow AT&T's lead and allow me to upgrade my 3GS to the new iPhone also.
Any word on what Canadian companies (ie. Rogers, Fido, Bell and Telus) are doing Rene or anyone else at tipb?
My line was always eligible every 12 mos because mine is the primary and our bill is high enough (our bill is 211$ a month after tax for 5 lines :S)
But the g/f's line has a 3GS (got them the same day, like every year, on iDay) - hers still says Feb 2011 as of right now.
mine still saying 04/13/2011
mine is 1 May 2011. I bought the 3GS at full price. what gives?
I bought my 3gs on July 4th last year and it says I am currently eligible for an upgrade
Actually it's *639#
My wife and I were eligible sometime in July. I am now eligible on 6/20, and my wife on 6/26.
calm down. My guess is they're slowly updating this and you'll see a change in a near future.
I have 2 3GS phones , both bought on release date last June.
Right now ONE of them says elgible 6/19. The other one says 2/11/2011. They both used to say Feb 2011. I'm thinkin within the next week or so BOTH will say 6/19
My brother in law was in August, and he still is in August. Technically, he should be eligible now since he bought his iphone without the discount, but we never called customer service to rectify it.
I actually have 5 lines on my account, 3 of which with iPhone (mine, wife, brother in law). We both moved up, my brother in law didn't.
Ok so just checked, I hve 3 iPhones on my account..
my 3g purchased 12/08
my mothers 3gs purchased 6/09 (launch date)
my sisters 3gs purchased 7/09
the funny thing is that
my 3g upgrade date is 8/10
my mothers 2/11
my sisters 7/10
so what gives my sister who purchased her iPhone last of us all gets to upgrade before all of us.
bought my 3g last March. Here's my message "A full discount on a standard handset or iPhone upgrade is not available at this time but you may qualify on 11/25/2010. We can offer you a discounted iPhone upgrade at a higher price with a 2-yr commitment and an $18 upgrade fee.". I pay $130/ month
Verizon here I come.
"As a valued AT&T customer, we can offer you a discounted iPhone upgrade at a higher price, along with a 2-year commitment and an $18 upgrade fee. Please proceed with the online upgrade process for pricing details. You may qualify for a full discount on a standard iPhone upgrade on 06/20/2010."
Cool. I bought the 3GS on its launch date. Don't tell them but I was going to get the new iPhone anyway.
I am being screwed by att i suppose because I have a phone that became eligible on april the 12th. That iphone 3g account was activated in August of 2008... A second line, an iphone 3gs was bought on launch date (and stolen a few weeks ago) and for the NEW line it states:
"take advantage of our no commitment pricing. Additional discounts may be available on 02/20/2011"
blah blah blah... so in other words, no early upgrade for me.
I snagged a 3G on launch day 2008 and 3GS on launch day 2009. I used to have 11/20 but now I have 6/20/2010.
Maybe they're doing this because a Verizon iPhone is on the horizon? Attempt to lock customers in before they have a choice?
And it looks like they MIGHT be only offering to those whose last iPhone was purchased with a full upgrade - because, they may be reasoning, if someone paid extra to upgrade early in the past, we might be able to get them to do it again . . .
As a valued AT&T customer, we can offer you a discounted iPhone upgrade at a reduced discount, along with a 2-year commitment. Our records indicate that you will be eligible for an upgrade to an iPhone at a discounted price on 06/22/2010
So discounted prices??? What's that going to run us???
My wife and I both got iPhone original on launch day. Two years later(last year), we both got 3Gs upgrades. Now, I am eligible for upgrade on 6/20/10, and she is eligible on 2/11/11. Boy, she's gonna be pissed when I get the new hotness on launch day, and she has to wait 8 months!! Maybe it will change by June. If not, she will have to learn to live with disappointment!
As I said in comment number 4, I was moved up big time to 06/14/2010. Here is what the text message outputs:
You may select equipment at our full retail pricing. An upgrade may be available on 06/14/2010.
The AT&T rep who posted here explained it best. There have always been different upgrade dates for people depending on other factors, including your monthly bill. I doubt what people have been seeing has anything to do with the upcoming iPhone. We have two lines, and the first line is on a one year cycle (which happens to be eligible 6/20/10 since we bought a 3GS on that line on launch day, 6/19/10). The second line is upgrade eligible after 20 months, which I believe is the standard.
My understanding is that if you spend a certain undisclosed amount, your upgrade cycles may be shorter than the standard 20-24 months. I have asked customer service about it, but haven't received much information, so I don't think everyone at AT&T even knows what the criteria are. I have been told by AT&T that it isn't possible to have a line eligible after a year, even though I can verify that isn't the case and have seen many others report that as well.
It seems to be more than just the dollar amount spent on a line. It may be that they take into account the voice plan, but do not count things like data and texting. I have also heard that they look at the average charges on a line over a few months, which may be why people are seeing their upgrade dates change. I think it's a coincidence that this is in anticipation of the next iPhone launch, or it may be just that people are thinking about upgrades now and checking their eligibility.
To @Diggidi - no one knows yet what the pricing of a new iPhone will be. What you are seeing about discounts and reduced discounts is their rather confusing wording about the types of upgrades. What they currently have is a full discount with a new two year contract, generally equivalent to new customer pricing, a "reduced discount" or "early upgrade" which is somewhere between the full retail price and the upgrade price but still requires a new two year contract, and "no commitment" pricing, which offers no discount, but no requirement to sign a new contract either. They clarified the early upgrade pricing with the launch of the 3GS last year, I'm sure in response to all of the people who were upset that they couldn't upgrade their 3G to a 3GS.
This has all probably been a bit of a nightmare to AT&T, who pre-iPhone could keep people happy by giving them their 24 month upgrade (with some cheapie free phone) a couple of months early. Now they have a large vocal customer base fully expecting that they will be able to upgrade their expensive smartphone every year, and furious if they can't.
I am furious with AT&T. I have the original iPhone from 2007 and since I moved to another state last year, AT&T changed my contract when all I requested was an area code number change. They are saying it is a "relocation" and now nothing can be done. My "new" contract expires 8/2011. According to AT&T they will not change my eligibility.
I upgraded from a 2007 iPhone to a 3GS on launch day last year. I am on a business discounted pricing plan so I guess that's why mine is stuck in Feb 2011...
"As a valued AT&T customer, we can offer you a discounted iPhone upgrade at a reduced discount, along with a 2-year commitment. Our records indicate that you will be eligible for an upgrade to an iPhone at a discounted price on 02/21/2011."
Kind of disappointed in this as I would like a new one this year but I guess that's the price I pay for getting the discount each month. :-(
Mine rolled back to june 18 or so. Don't know when it happened, but I was adding a line and accidentally clicked upgrade. Thought they were asking for the main account holder's number (it was a third party retailer) and they spit back out that I wasn't eligible for an upgrade until June. Much to my surprise.
@dubdee: Same thing for me, I get a discounted rate from my college and my upgrade date is 2/21/2011..
"As a valued AT&T customer, we can offer you a discounted iPhone upgrade at a reduced discount, along with a 2-year commitment. Our records indicate that you will be eligible for an upgrade to an iPhone at a discounted price on 02/21/2011"
Sucks. :(
Gus if you didn't get a new phone when you relocated you are eligible for a new phone. I would call back and speak to someone else and explain that you never received a new phone when you relocated, you were eligible a long time ago. From what I understand you don't have to get a phone at the time of signing the contract and you can save your eligibility for later use.
My wife and I bought a 3GS a week after launch. We have a family plan and her date was moved down to 6/25 while mine is still 2/25/2011. I'm hoping they haven't updated every number yet.
Bought mine for the 2nd tier discounted price ($599 for 32GB) a few days after launch day for the 3GS...upgrade eligibility date remains at 12/8/2010. I'm on the bare minimum 450 plan with the bare minimum 200 text messages.
Not like I'll be able to afford it by Mid June anyway...TV upgrade was more important for me this year, otherwise I would have saved some tax refund money. I'll probably be waiting until my eligibility date. I'm pretty happy with my 3GS at this point. An upgrade would be nice, but isn't essential. My phone runs quite nice. The upgrade from the 3G was a big one, as it ran a bit sluggish while jailbroken. I have no such issue with my 3GS.
OK, so bought the 3G for $99 in Sept. 2009. The full text of my situation from AT&T is:
"A full discount on a standard handset or iPhone upgrade is not available at this time but you may qualify on 05/07/2011. We can offer you a discounted iPhone upgrade at a higher price with a 2-yr commitment and an $18 upgrade fee. Please visit a participating iPhone sales location for pricing on this offer."
So, how much is the discount going to be? An $18 one-time-charge I can always live with.
Is ATT doing this because there may be a verizon iPhone coming soon???????????
that 639# thing didn't work for me! >:(
It's dependent upon how much you spend into your contract per phone, per month. [$69,$99]/mo, 24 mos; ($99,∞)/mo, 12-18 mos.
Dear Mr. Slater,
Thank you for taking the time to e-mail AT&T regarding upgrade dates changing for your friends and family, to June, to be able to get the new iPhone. I understand your frustration, and apologize for any error regarding this. My name is Beki Chappell, and I will be happy to review your account.
After reading your email, I have researched and been unable to locate any information on the release of a new iPhone, or any changes to the upgrade dates of the contracts, to upgrade to this new device, if and when it is released.
To be eligible for a fully discounted phone upgrade, a minimum of 18 of the 24 months of the contract, would have to be completed. For your account, this would be on 02/19/11.
Again, we thank you for allowing us the opportunity to assist you with your account, Mr. Slater. If we can be of further assistance, please contact us at http://www.att.com/wireless. Should you have additional concerns or questions about this issue please reply to this email. If you need to contact us again regarding a new issue please send us a new email via the contact link through your online account. As always, thank you for choosing AT&T!

Okay. Here's what i did. I got an I-Phone 3G on the date that the 3Gs came out in June 2009 because my dad didn't think it was necessary and neither did I. Well it says I'm eligible for an upgrade in 2/21/11. That's complete bull because I called AT&T and they said that an upgrade contract ends in 12-18 months making it okay for you to upgrade after what it is. Well that's 20 months not 18 making me ineligible for the iphone 4 upgrade which really pisses me off because i'm stuck with a iphone 3g that is running the new os 4 software extremely badly. I just want to know why it isn't 18 months like they said it was when i called. AT&T really pisses me off.
I'm certainly amazed to acknowledge how good a lot of these previews about windows 7 phone seem to be; but I'm glad to see it.I mean, what functions this windows phone OS has better than the others !!!!I mean the one million question is what's going to be on the mind of early adopters (I am seriously considering being part of that group) is going to be when we might start to see software updates that will fill in some of the gaps that people are already droning on about; and whether or not we'll be able to update the first generation devices to those new software versions.
Your web link you mailed me came thru, thanks, but it looks to not be working, does anyone have a backup, or mirror source? Just something that works.
Hello.This post was extremely interesting, particularly because I was browsing for thoughts on this matter last week.

The word apocalypse means to unveil, not the end of the world.
The meaning of the apocalypse is the opposite of what most people think. It does not mean the end of the world; it means the revealing of hidden secrets and the beginning of a heaven on earth. The apocalypse is starting now.

Adviser: Romney's VP 'Short List' Could Contain 20 Names
Originally published on Tue May 1, 2012 9:49 am
If history holds, Mitt Romney is still months away from announcing a vice presidential running mate on the Republican ticket. But he continues to make appearances with those who could be on the so-called short list.
Or in Romney's case, it may still be a rather long list.
On Monday, Romney campaigned with freshman Sen. Kelly Ayotte, the 43-year-old former state attorney general, in her home state of New Hampshire.
Former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu, a Romney campaign adviser, said Ayotte is one of about 20 candidates under serious consideration to be Romney's running mate. That's according to New Hampshire Public Radio's Josh Rogers, who reports on Romney's meeting with Ayotte for NPR's Morning Edition.
On Thursday, Romney is to campaign with another name on the list, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, CNN reports.

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Four Lady Mocs were named All-SoCon as No. 6 seeded Chattanooga (26-26, 10-11 SoCon) opens plays in the Southern Conference Tournament in Greensboro, N.C., Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. against No. 3 Georgia Southern.
Senior Sara Poteat (Thomaston, Ga.) earned her third All-SoCon honor, being named to the second team and sophomore Sarah Beth Roberts (Mt. Juliet, Tenn.) was named to the second team for the second time in her two-year career. Freshman Sam Taylor (Chickamauga, Ga.) was honored with a second team and All-Freshman team nod while freshman Anyssa Robles (Lawrenceville, Ga.) was assigned to the All-Freshman team.
The four All-SoCon selections lead the Lady Mocs into their first matchup of the tournament Wednesday against the Georgia Southern Eagles. Earlier in the season, Chattanooga took two of three games from the Eagles at Frost Stadium.
In its last trip to the SoCon Tournament in 2012, Chattanooga was 2-2 and was eliminated after back-to-back losses to Georgia Southern and the College of Charleston. Chattanooga claimed an 8-1 win over Elon to open the 2012 tournament before taking a 6-1 win over Charleston. The Lady Mocs then fell 2-5 to Georgia Southern before the Cougars came back with a 6-7 win in the semi-finals to send Chattanooga home.
Chattanooga was the projected No. 5 seed going into the weekend's matchup against Elon, but a sweep pulled off by the Phoenix gave the Lady Mocs the same overall and SoCon record as the Furman Paladins. Because Furman won two games against UTC during the regular season, the Paladins moved up to the No. 5 seed. Furman now has a date with No. 4 UNCG on Wednesday.
"Even as a top seed, there's always some nerves going into it," Head Coach Frank Reed said. "We know everyone has a clean slate and nothing that's happened in the past is going to make a difference. This tournament is based totally on who plays the best over the next three or four days. If we are the team that can get hot, we have a chance to win it. The regular season numbers mean nothing from here-on-out."
Along with Poteat and Roberts, a youthful Chattanooga team takes just four other Lady Mocs into the 2013 contest with prior SoCon Tournament experience in senior Ninjja Suetsugu (Sao Paulo, Brazil), juniors Staphanie Rieck (Chandler, Ariz.) and Kaiti Dutton (Tulsa, Okla.), and sophomore pitcher Taylor Deason (Clarksville, Tenn.).
The Lady Mocs have won 11 SoCon Tournament titles and maintain a 51-19 record in the tournament. Reed is 32-12 in tournament play. Against Georgia Southern, Chattanooga and the Eagles are an even 7-7 in SoCon Tournament play, and the 14 games between the two are the most of any SoCon opponent for Chattanooga.

http://www.cagepotato.com/ross-pears...es=og.commentsIf you didn't see Diego Sanchez vs. Ross Pearson at UFC Fight Night 42 last night, let us break it down for you: Ross Pearson hit Diego Sanchez in the face repeatedly far more than Diego Sanchez hit him. But when the decision was announced, it was Sanchez's hand that was raised. Worst decision in MMA? Yeah probably. And we're not alone in thinking that.
The Telegraph reports that Pearson and his head coach Eric Del Fierro officially filed a complaint with the New Mexico Athletic Commission after the fight. It almost definitely won't be overturned, however. Once home cooking has been scarfed down, it's not likely to be thrown back up (unless it's a quail egg). Dana White hasn't issued any kind of rant (or incredulous defense of) the decision. He'll probably just ignore it.
Pearson was coming off a no contest via illegal knee against Melvin Guillard back in late October. Prior to that he had beaten Ryan Couture and George Sotiropoulos. With the questionable bullshit split decision win, Sanchez snaps a two-fight losing streak.
Diego Sanchez vs. Ross Pearson Fight Metric report supports 'ROBBERY' cries
If one million people watched all 15 minutes of the Diego Sanchez vs. Ross Pearson fight (check out the highlights here) from last night's (Sat., June 7, 2014) UFC Fight Night 42: "Henderson vs. Khabilov" event in Albuquerque, New Mexico, it's safe to assume only one of them thought Sanchez won all three rounds.
That one just so happened to be one of the judges presiding over the bout.
Another judge scored it for Sanchez two rounds to one, giving him the split decision victory. The other judge, whom the majority of fans and pundits agreed with, scored it 30-27 for Pearson.
That's one hell of a disparity among judges, no?
Naturally, it's worth looking at the statistics (via the fine folks at Fight Metric) to see how they align with popular opinion and to that end, this probably won't surprise you.
That's almost embarrassing. The only measure you could argue Pearson lost was aggression and Octagon control but does that override every other metric?
It shouldn't. As Color Commentator Kenny Florian said immediately after the bout at his first opportunity, "with all due respect to Diego Sanchez, he did not win that fight".
Your thoughts, Maniacs?

Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Felix Hernandez, who signed a big contract in the offseason, tossed 7 2/3 scoreless innings to help the Seattle Mariners beat the Oakland Athletics, 2-0, in the season opener for both teams on Monday.
Hernandez (1-0), who inked a seven-year, $175 million deal, gave up three hits while striking out eight for the Mariners, who went 75-87 last season. The right-hander went 13-9 with a 3.06 ERA over 33 appearances in 2012.
"Opening Day, it's good to start the right way," Hernandez said. "It's pretty special. It was loud today with a lot of people, but I was just in my game, just trying to make my pitches. I felt pretty good today."
Franklin Gutierrez hit a two-run single in the fifth inning for Seattle, which increased its Opening Day winning streak to seven.
Brett Anderson (0-1) allowed two runs on four hits over seven innings for the Athletics, who captured their first AL West title since 2006 last year. The left-hander fanned six and walked four.
Oakland, which lost to the Tigers in the ALDS last season, has dropped nine straight season openers, which is the longest Opening Day losing streak in American League history.
"It's disappointing to lose on Opening Night. It's your first look. Your fans are out in full force," said A's manager Bob Melvin. "We played well with the big crowds in our stadium for the better part of last year, so it's disappointing. You want to win. Typically you do get someone's ace and Felix is one of the best in the game, and we just couldn't muster anything off him."
Hernandez was dominant on the mound early, retiring the first 10 batters he faced. John Jaso, who played for the Mariners last season, finally got a hit for Oakland with a one-double in the fourth. However, Josh Reddick and Yoenis Cespedes grounded out to end the frame.
The Mariners scored the only two runs they would need in the fifth. With one out, Dustin Ackley walked and Brendan Ryan singled. Ryan went to second on the throw to third, and Gutierrez knocked in both runners with a single to center.
The A's had a great chance to score in the eighth. Hernandez retired the first two batters before giving up a double to Seth Smith. After walking Eric Sogard, Hernandez was replaced by Charlie Furbush. Coco Crisp worked a walk to load the bases. Stephen Pryor came in from the bullpen and got pinch-hitter Derek Norris to ground into a fielder's choice.
Tom Wilhelmsen, who had 29 saves in 2012, worked around a two-out walk in the ninth to pick up the save.
The Athletics fell to 52-61 in season openers ... Seattle improved to 22-15 in
openers ... Anderson made only six regular-season starts in 2012 after coming
back from Tommy John surgery and then later being bothered by an oblique
injury. Still, he went 4-2 with a 2.57 ERA ... Oakland won 12 of its 19
matchups with the Mariners last season.

Google Translator Toolkit is a new service that lets you translate documents by editing the translations automatically generated by Google. "Google Translator Toolkit allows human translators to work faster and more accurately, aided by technologies like Google Translate."
You can translate documents stored on your computer, web pages, Wikipedia articles and Knol articles. After importing a document, Google generates the translation, displaying it next to the original text. You can select a sentence from the original document and Google lets you edit the translation.
Google Translator Toolkit includes the collaborative features from Google Docs: you can invite other people to edit or view your translations, but the application doesn't display the collaborators that are currently editing a document.
An interesting feature is the "translation memory", a database of already-existing translations. "As you translate new sentences, we automatically search all available translation memories for previous translations similar to your new sentence. If such sentences exist, we rank and then show them to you. Comparing your translation to previous human translations improves consistency and saves you time: you can reuse previous translations or adjust them to create new, more contextually appropriate translations."
Google's service will make it easier to translate documents online, but it's also a great way to improve the quality of the machine translation service.

On the evening of May 1, piano tunes could be heard through the halls of Alston Middle School, coming from the media center, where students were putting on a recital for visiting families.
Students performed songs such as My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion and Someone Like You by Adele. There were also older tunes such as Sunrise, Sunset and Edelweiss.
Alston Fine Arts Director Lorraine White is also the piano and vocal instructor for the school. She said at the beginning of the year many of these students had never even touched a piano before.
I thought they did a wonderful job, she said. Thats the thing about the arts, students are allowed to express themselves artistically.
Alston is the only school in the district that offers the five components to fine arts music, dance, art, theatre and creative writing - and part of what makes the school unique is that it does not require students to audition to be a part of the fine arts program.
White said the program is different from sitting in a classroom, learning to do math. The program is incorporated with academics. It makes learning easier and more creative.
The arts help to educate the whole child, she said.
Dance Director Amanda Nelson has noted similar observations with her own students.
Im kind of proud that we dont have auditions, she said, adding her sixth-graders have greatly improved since the beginning of the year, some without any prior experience. The amount of growth theyve achieved over the school year is incredible to me. Im glad we could give them the opportunity to grow and have that experience without having prior experience before coming in.
The school is looking forward to notable changes in the coming year or so thanks to a district bond referendum. A new fine arts building to be constructed on the campus is one of the projects. Next year, creative writing will no longer be offered as part of the core fine arts programs but will still be offered as an elective to students.
The school has an Arts Curricular Innovation Grant received from the South Carolina Department of Education. The core idea is to teach academic standards in the arts, something Theatre Director Adam Weiner finds very unique about the school.
Everything that we do we try to bring in the history or the science or do various readings to spark the students interest, Weiner said. Once students are hearing things from multiple sources it kind of sinks in.
For example, last school year the school did an Edgar Allen Poe House, during which Alstons stage was turned into a haunted house with rooms based on the works of Poe. The fine arts groups dramatized the stories, with monologues written by students in creative writing and a student orchestra playing music. This year, Alston did something similar in their Shakespeare House.
Weiner finds that the arts help students develop high-level thinking skills, social skills and creativity.
Youre also using your own experiences and your own history when youre creating art, he said. ... You are taking what you learned in your life and applying it in a way that is unique to yourself.
White has a sign hanging on the wall of her classroom that lists the three Ds to success: desire, discipline and dedication. Ive been here 27 years and I can say, in (those) 27 years, weve had teachers that have put forth a great effort to try to relate to their students why they teach what they teach, she said. That is the love of the art form that they teach and, of course, love gravitates.

Release: 01/30/2014
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The University of New Mexico captured 57 Academic All-Mountain West student-athlete honors for the fall sports season in 2013, the Mountain West announced Thursday.
The 57 award winners represent UNM's second highest total since 2002 and the second most in the conference, behind Utah State's 60. The Lobos had 60 student-athletes earn academic all-conference honors in 2010.
To be eligible for selection, student-athletes must have completed at least one academic term at the member institution while maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better, and are a starter or significant contributor on their athletic team.
"Our student-athletes continue to shine a favorable light on the University of New Mexico, not only with their success athletically but also with their contributions in the classroom and in the community," Vice President for Athletics Paul Krebs said.
"Our student-athletes are to be commended and admired for their time-management skills that allow them to achieve the considerable success that they do, both in the classroom and in their athletic endeavors. Our coaches deserve credit for continuing to stress academics, and our Office of Student Athletic Success and faculty and staff on campus also deserve recognition for their tremendous support."
For the fourth consecutive year, the Lobos had the most Academic All-M student-athletes of any women's soccer team in the conference with 17, matching last season's school-record total under coach Kit Vela.
The football team continues its ascension with academic all-conference honorees with 16. That's the second highest mark by the program since 2002 and nine more than the team had the year before second-year coach Bob Davie arrived.
Coach Jeff Nelson's volleyball team had nine Academic All-MW student athletes, tying for second most in the conference and tying for the school's second best mark since '02.
The cross-country teams under coach Joe Franklin combined for 15 all-conference honorees (seven on the men's team, eight on the women's), marking the fifth time in the last six years that the teams have produced at least 15 Academic All-MW honors.
Collectively, a league-record 534 students were named to the fall 2013 Academic All-Mountain West team. Fall sports include men's and women's cross country, football, women's soccer and women's volleyball. The mark surpasses the previous MW record of 409 fall semester honorees, set last season.

classic - "this is the dumbest thing Ive ever heard. thats like me having a picture of Hitler posted, and saying "I dont believe in his politics, but I like to hear him talk" W.Silva>C.Norris
I see this as a ploy to get Dan to sign.
Now, that's far more believable than the statement Rampage made.
I mean seriously, he lost to Vitor not Ryan Bader on a card he begged to be a part of, right?
You say shark I say hey man, Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars
Even Hendo has looked bad lately, Rampage is not at all the right one to say that someone sucks.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
Dear Pot
I am writing this to you out of great concern. I have noticed as of late your complection is of a very dark nature. I just want to let you know that although it is none of my business, you seem to be getting darker to me.
Your friend Kettle
In Rampage's next interview, I can't wait to hear him say how he's bringing back the Rampage from Pride, slams, owwww, blah, blah, poop.

Common Staff Writer
Community members and leaders along with King's Daughters Medical Center officials gathered at King's Daughters Medical Center Ohio (KDMCO) on Friday to ceremonially open the facility with a ribbon cutting.
Among those in attendance were 2nd district Congressman Brad Wenstrup and Jane Portman, wife of U.S. Senator Rob Portman.
Also in attendance and serving as master of ceremonies was Fred Jackson, CEO of KDMC Health System.
"We're now in 58 different locations, in 26 different cities throughout the tri-state," Jackson said. "This (KDMCO) project was a vision. I remember sitting in my office about a decade ago, saying it would be neat to have a facility like this in Portsmouth, in the middle of Scioto County. At the time we all thought it would be neat."
He said the recession hit the country in 2008 and that put the plans for the project on hold.
"About 18 months ago we resurrected the project and brought it to fruition. With a lot of blood, sweet, toil and tears we were able to get this project completed in an 18 month time period," Jackson said.
Jackson said there were a number of reasons KDMC decided to build a hospital in Portsmouth.
"Scioto and Lawrence Counties have some of the lowest health factors of the 88 counties in the state of Ohio. Having the lowest health factors in the state is not a good thing and one of our goals is to help improve upon that."
He said one of the other reasons the project was built was that a lot of people were driving from this area to travel to other KDMC facilities for various treatments.
"We saw a large number of Scioto County residents traveling outside the county to get their healthcare. Our concept was, why not get your health care closer to home," Jackson said. "They say that all politics are local, we think all health care should be local. What we've constructed is what we believe to be a hometown hospital, for the people of Portsmouth."
Jackson said this project represents a large investment in the Portsmouth community.
"Our original investment was back in 2007, we put about $10 million into the medial office structure, that's represented by the 27,000 square feet. The 53,000 square feet that this facility represents is about another $25 million dollars. So, we'll have about a $35 million investment in this campus, when we open on the fourth," Jackson said.
He said one of KDMC's goals with this project was to hire as many people from the Portsmouth, Scioto County area as possible.
"We will have about 150 people working here on this campus. We have 60 people working in the medical office building. We are hiring an additional 90 people for a total of 150. Approximately 85 percent of that total number is from the Scioto County area," Jackson said. "The goal was not to bring people in from outside of the area, but to make this a hometown hospital. When we open on Feb. 4 we will have about 50 physicians on staff. About half of them are from the Portsmouth area and about half of them are from within our health system."
Portman who is a member of the board of directors for Cincinnati Children's Hospital was amazed at the facility and commended KDMC for providing such a facility to the citizens of the area.
Friday mornings ribbon cutting was the first public speaking appearance Wenstrup made since joining congress earlier this year.
"As a physician and a surgeon and as I tour here today I'm impressed with what you've done. I've been in a situation, trying to put something like this together on a smaller scale, I know the challenges and difficulties that come with that," Wenstrup said. "This community is blessed to have King's Daughters doing something like this in your community."
Wenstrup said he has had the opportunity to travel around the world as a soldier and one of the things he always brings back with him is the goodness and kindness of the American people and what our priorities are.
"Our priorities stem from taking care of each other. What we see here (KDMCO) is a great example of that, in the building of this wonderful center. This was built with physician involvement. The physicians that got involved, did not do it for themselves, they did it on behalf of their patients," Wenstrup said.
He said as the country moves forward with healthcare, there are a lot of unknowns.
"The only certainty we have is uncertainty and how healthcare is going to be delivered in the United States. The one thing we can always focus on in American, is who is the uncared for. Who are those who are not getting cared for, why and how do we deliver it," Wenstrup said. "I appreciate the community approach that was taken to this whole project, 90 percent of those involved were from Ohio and 85 percent from southern Ohio. Workers and professional people were brought in who will live and work in our community, to make this a greater place."
A number of events are being planned for the opening of the facility. On Saturday, Feb. 2 a community open house will held from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. that will feature free health screenings, giveaways and the opportunity to tour the facility and meet the staff. The facility will open on Monday, Feb. 4.
For more information about KDMCO visit them at 2001 Scioto Trail, Portsmouth or call 740-991-4000 or visit www.kdmcohio.com.

General Education at WCSU
The Curriculum and Requirements
The general education requirements at Western Connecticut State University are designed to expose students to the broad spectrum of human knowledge in the areas of writing and communication skills, humanities, social and behavioral sciences, natural and computational sciences, and health promotion and exercise sciences. Students matriculated for all degrees are required to complete courses in these five broad areas.
University Senate Committee on General Education
The Committee on General Education was established in March 2005 to "...ensure that the general education curriculum is consistent with the mission of Western Connecticut State University, the State of Connecticut's general education requirements, and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) accreditation standards."
The First Year Experience program is being implemented in fall 2007 in the general education curriculum. Students take three 100-level general education courses throughout the curriculum specifically designated as First Year Experience ("FY") courses. These courses enroll first year students only and are capped at 22 students per section (most other 100-level general education courses have much higher enrollment). The courses are designed to engage students in the intellectual life of the university, develop effective study skills, and help students explore, discover, and connect with the resources needed to succeed at WestConn.

Waitsfield voters will again cast ballots on October 22 on a proposal to build new town offices on the Farm Stand site.
The select board set the date for the reconsideration vote at its September 12 meeting, but not before a contentious and heated discussion of whether the $750,000 Community Development Block Grant the town received towards its town office project was in fact earmarked for the Farm Stand or whether it was granted to the town for use towards town offices at any location.
On July 30, voters approved a bond article to borrow up to $650,000 to be used with the $750,000 grant to build new town offices at the Farm Stand site, a parcel of land at the north end of the village. That vote was 300-209. In August the select board received a petition calling for reconsideration of that vote.
Select board member Chris Pierson, at the September 12 meeting, opened the discussion of scheduling the reconsideration vote by suggesting that Josh Hanford from the Community Development Block Grant offices misspoke with regard to whether or not the grant was for the Farm Stand or the former Methodist Church.
When Waitsfield applied for the grant, it made application for building new town offices at the Farm Stand and at the former Methodist Church. Hanford came to the town afterward to explain why the funding agency favored the Farm Stand and why the agency awarded the grant for the Farm Stand project. Pierson, however, said that what Hanford said was not clear and that he and others had been confused.
Select board member Bill Parker asked Pierson how Hanford has misspoken and noted that the grant award was all in writing.
"He was wrong that the grant would have to be returned if the Farm Stand project didn't go forward. The grant application would simply have needed to be amended, so we're not bound to the Farm Stand," Pierson said.
"He was very clear that the grant would have to be returned and we'd have to reapply," Parker said.
"He was very clear on that," board chair Paul Hartshorn said.
"What they said to us was that this is the plan you've given us, we'll give you this money. When Josh was here I asked the question three times about what happened if we change from the Farm Stand to the church and he said that if we changed, the money might not be there anymore. He made the point to me that 'yes, you have to reapply and there may be money there or there may not be,'" board member Logan Cooke said.
"What exactly is the error? That he said we'd have to amend versus modify our application? Or that the money is earmarked for the Farm Stand?" Parker asked Pierson.
"If we change or amend our application, we don't need to refile," Pierson answered.
"Amendments need to get approved," Cooke said.
"That's not refiling," Pierson said.
Pierson said that he wanted clarification from Hanford and asked why there should be a problem seeking that clarification.
"Are you going to ask whether the money granted to Waitsfield exists if there is not a specific location that has been identified and approved for it?" Parker said. "Is the money set aside for Waitsfield long enough for another process to go through and a new location to be found?"
"Isn't that a good reason to get clarification?" Pierson countered.
Pierson made a motion to hold the reconsideration vote on October 22 and to seek clarification from Hanford. The motion passed. The board also voted to hold a public hearing on Monday, October 21, in advance of the October 22 vote. At that meeting the public will also vote on renewing the town's agricultural tax stabilization program.
Following the September 12 meeting, Pierson sent an email to Hanford on Monday, September 16, in which he questions whether the grant exists for the town to move its town offices or whether it is location specific. His lengthy email quotes emails from Hanford and also the grant award letter.
The select board hopes to have an answer to the email by Monday, September 23.

Wando point guard Amp Moore looked up at the scoreboard hanging high in the corner of the Florence Civic Center, turned to his bench and let out a smile with a wink. Just seconds remained. The Warriors had done it.
Wando defeated Sumter, 54-41, in the Class 4A Lower State championship game Friday to earn the first boys basketball title in school history. The Warriors advance to face Upper State champion Hillcrest in the state title game March 7 at Colonial Life Arena in Columbia.
"These guys deserve this," Wando head coach David Eaton said. "Our players deserve this, our assistant coaches, our school. It's blood and sweat year around for these guys and they deserve all this and more."
Wando (24-4) entered the Friday averaging 69 points per game in the playoffs, while Sumter was allowing its opponents just 34. Eaton told his team before they exited the tunnel for pregame the tougher team with the fewest mistakes was going to win the game. Wando was it.
The Warriors stretched a three-point halftime lead into 10, allowing Sumter just four points in the third quarter.
"We never backed down," Eaton said. "It was a grind-it-out type of game and we don't care. We've had the pretty wins but I think tonight we showed we can win the hard way too."
After managing just four points in the first half, all-state sophomore Jamez Rogers led Wando with seven of his team's 11 points in the third. Sumter scored four straight off back-to-back offensive fouls to trim the lead to eight midway through the fourth quarter. Rogers killed the momentum with a three for Wando, followed by his signature three-fingers-to-the-head celebration to assure which team was in control. Sumter never recovered and Warriors senior Andrew Glover sealed the win with five straight free throws in the final minutes.
"This is what we do," Wando center Matt Pegram said. "This is the way coach teaches us to work in every practice. When we lock up on defense, like we know how, our offense is going to score and there's nobody in the state that can stop us."
Pegram scored all six of his points in the first quarter to pace Wando early. The Warriors led by as many as five twice in the second quarter but needed a buzzer-beating three from Moore to go into halftime on top.
Rogers finished with a game-high 15 points. Glover added 11 and Taylor Majewski nine. Micah McBride led Sumter with 14. No other player scored more than six for Sumter.
Wando rides a six-game winning streak into Friday's state championship game.
"This win means the world but we're not done yet," Glover said. "All our hard work is finally paying off. We set out to get five wins. We have one more to go and we're going to be ready for the fifth next Friday."
