Walk-in Hunting Access Program
The walk-in hunting access (WIHA) program kicked off in 1995 in an effort to enhance the strong Kansas hunting heritage by providing hunting access to private property. The program has grown to one of the most successful access programs in the country. By 2004, over 1 million acres were enrolled in the program providing countless opportunities for sportsmen to pursue their favorite game at no additional charge. Although the majority of the acreage provides good to excellent upland game bird hunting, some areas provide opportunites for deer, waterfowl and squirrel hunting as well. Landowners receive a modest payment in exchange for allowing public hunting access. Payments vary by the amount of acres enrolled and length of contract period. Contract dates can be established from September 1 or November 1 through January 31 of each year. In addition, other lands are leased for spring turkey hunting only (April 1- May 31). Land enrolled can be in CRP, native rangeland, wheat or milo stubble and riparian or wetland areas. The area is posted with signs designating it as WIHA, regularly patrolled, and safety zones clearly marked. Liability is waived from private individuals who lease land to the state for recreational purposes. State law provides immunity from damages or injuries resulting from ordinary negligence. For more information fill out the application in the brochure below and send it to the Regional Office in your area or contact Private Lands Coordinator in Pratt Operations Office for more information.

After more than 15 hours of deliberating between Nov. 1 and Nov. 6, Hillsville Town Council has decided to hire Greg Bolen as police chief of the Hillsville Police Department.
Bolen, who has approximately 15 years of experience in the law enforcement field, will officially begin his duties Dec. 1. Hillsville Mayor Greg Crowder said Town Council approved Bolen's hire by a 3-2 vote with Councilmen Ed Terry and Greg Yonce casting the no votes. As Mayor, Crowder cast the tiebreaking vote. Two meetings, the first on Nov. 1 and the other on Nov. 6, totaled about 15 hours before a final decision was made.
Crowder said Bolen brings outstanding qualities to the position, which has been filled by Interim Police Chief Jason Hawks since former Chief Steve Williams resigned his post June 29.
"For me, it would have to be his leadership capabilities," Crowder said of why Bolen was hired. "He brings strong leadership and the independent council we brought in to help us with the candidates…he was rated No. 1 by them."
Crowder said the independent council recommended four finalists out of 25 eligible applicants. Of those four, he said one was eliminated due to the fact that he couldn't make his residence in Hillsville, while another was just not as strong a candidate as the other two. At that point, Crowder said "it was pretty close given that one of them was a current Town Police." So Crowder said he strongly encouraged final interviews in a "no-holds barred, leave-everything-on-the-table session."
"At the end of the meeting, we wanted a vote and asked for a vote. Some said they weren't ready to make a decision, but as far as I was concerned and the rest of the council was concerned, we were ready to put an end to this long process," Crowder said. "We felt like we had been presented more than enough information and a decision was probably overdue by this point, to be honest."
Bolen left the Hillsville Police Department approximately five years ago. At that time, he held the rank of Lieutentant, second in command under then-Chief Williams. Interim Police Chief Hawks' role in the Town Department will be up to Bolen, Crowder said.
"Most chiefs evaluate the entire department when they come in and that is what I suspect Greg will do," Crowder said.
The Mayor said the Council looked at several factors in considering applicants for Police Chief, including credit checks, criminal background checks, and eligibility for employment with the Town.
"We also contacted all former employers and basically tried to chase down any rumors as we found most candidates had a bump in the road somewhere along the way," Crowder said. "We had 25 applicants that were eligible and at the end of the day we came back with the best candidate in my view, and the two councilmen thought the same thing. I'm happy for Greg. There are some changes that need to be made, nothing drastic, but changes do need to be made, and we felt like he was the best man to go forward with that goal."

I guess tho, you could have each participant post a brief "position paper" about what they believe when they use a certain word- if we could find an appropriate filing system for it- it could lead to some mutual understanding, at least, among those who were really interested in understanding someone else, rather than just expounding their own particular views.
Nowadays, the "successful" churches are keeping eternal torment/torture for the non-believer way in the background.
That's the hard thing about scripture too: proving something is NOT there. NO evidence is the proof.

To The Editor:
I read with interest Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. This novel inspires thought and questioning about the world that we live today. It provides each reader with insight about the position that man fills in the world and the ecological community. It touches on sensitive topics such as homelessness, poverty, and man's destruction of the world that are current in society. Topics that need a closer look as to why these are present today.
Reading this book has given me a fresh perspective on how humans evolved to their current status on this planet and what that status is doing to the health and future strength of numerous species. I now understand the "god complex" that man has taken on and the extent mankind would go to reach the level where he has absolute control and knowledge on what he has conquered.
I am not here to try and alter the way a person thinks and goes about their daily lives. All I try to convey is that there are other ways that people can live their lives. What is conveyed in the book is too sizeable and elegant to be summarized in my words.
Read it, it is sure to make you look at the way you are living your life.

Since the multiple cloning site precedes the lacZ region, any DNA insertion into this vector can be easily verified using plates containing IPTG and X-Gal.
As the presence of thiamine decreases the selection efficiency of pyrithiamine media, regents without thiamine should be used with this transformation system.

Elizabeth Smart to speak at BGSU Nov. 5Written by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
Fourteen-year-old Elizabeth Smart captured the attention of the nation when she was kidnapped from her Utah bedroom in 2002 — and even more so when she was found alive nine months later.
Smart will speak in Bowling Green on Nov. 5 as the inaugural speaker in Bowling Green State University's Ordinary People, Extraordinary Stories series, hosted by BGSU Libraries and the Library Advocates Board.
"She tells her story with such grace and determination," said Sara Bushong, dean of University Libraries. "Our hope is that people hear her message of hope and that it can be impactful in their lives in some way."
The event will take place at the Bowen-Thompson Student Union. Dinner starts at 7 p.m., with Smart's presentation to follow at 8 p.m. Tickets for the dinner and presentation are $50. After the presentation Smart will sign books, which will be available for sale.
A 45-minute VIP reception with Smart will start at 6 p.m.; the cost of the predinner reception, dinner, presentation, signed book and VIP parking is $250. Smart will share her experience, which she chronicled in her memoir "My Story," published in October.
Taken from her bedroom on June 5, 2002, as her younger sister slept beside her, Smart was held captive for nine months by her abductor Brian David Mitchell and his wife Wanda Barzee, who controlled her by threatening to kill her and her family if she tried to escape.
In her book, Smart writes that her faith is what sustained her through months of rape and abuse. She was rescued by police March 12, 2003. Mitchell is now serving life in prison while Barzee was sentenced to 15 years.
"I remember so many overwhelming feelings and emotions," Smart wrote in her book. "Terror that is utterly indescribable, even to this day. Embarrassment and shame so deep, I felt as if my very worth had been tossed upon the ground. Despair. Starving hunger. Fatigue and thirst and a nakedness that bares one to the bones. … All of these memories are a part of me now, the DNA inside me. Indeed, these are the things that have moved and shaped me, sometimes twisting, sometimes wrenching me into the person I am today."
However, Smart said she took advice from her mother to move on and not let her captors take any more of her life than they already had.
"I decided very early that I only had one life and that I wasn't going to waste it," Smart wrote. "As of this writing I am twenty-five years old. I have been alive for 307 months. Nine of those months were pretty terrible. But 298 of those months have been very good. … Looking at it that way, I don't think I have much to complain about."
Smart, who later graduated from college, served overseas as a Mormon missionary and got married, now serves as president of the Elizabeth Smart Foundation, which advocates for change and legislation related to child abduction and recovery programs. She also serves as a commentator on missing person and child abduction cases for ABC News.
Smart will also speak to a group of BGSU students earlier that day, Bushong said.
"She was a university student in Utah not that long ago, so I think she's really excited to talk to students," Bushong said.
Representatives from Wood County's SAAFE Center, which advocates for survivors of sexual assault, will be on hand during both events, Bushong said.
"At an event like this, feelings surface that might not be expected," Bushong said. "As people hear Elizabeth Smart's story and feel the need to talk to someone during the event or after, they will be available."
Bushong said the library plans to offer a speaker once a year or every other year. Proceeds will help fund the libraries' digitization projects.
"There are so many ordinary people out there, but they tell extraordinary stories," Bushong said. "We're already thinking of ideas for next year."

Just talking about today's great ecological challenges can stir up big emotions, from fear and anxiety to love and affection.
The tough emotions, such as fear and anxiety, can cause people to close down and become unable to learn more or take action. Yet the reality is that we are at a turning point in history when it matters very much what we think and feel and do. That is why the Center for Ecoliteracy understands that to effectively educate people about sustainable living we need to bring emotional and social intelligence to our ecological pursuits.
In collaboration with Daniel Goleman, the internationally known psychologist and author of the bestselling books Emotional Intelligence and Social Intelligence, the Center for Ecoliteracy has developed a new integration of emotional, social, and ecological intelligence. You can learn more about it in the 2012 book Ecoliterate: How Educators Are Cultivating Emotional, Social, and Ecological Intelligence, coauthored by Goleman and the Center's Lisa Bennett and Zenobia Barlow.
Read below about how becoming ecoliterate advances academic achievement, ecological well-being, and resilience. Learn about five ecoliterate practices. And meet community activists, educators, and students who are using emotional, social, and ecological intelligence to creatively engage in food, water, oil, and coal challenges from the Arctic to Appalachia and New Mexico to New Orleans.

You know that's a very good point.
Maybe the core of the issue is just that people want to play the way "they want to play". When given a scenario where they "can't do their thing" they feel dissatisfied. Whether one player wants full hybrid and the other wants very clear, specific classes.
What would happen if a mage was asked to tank? Would they? since it's not really done would someone who played a mage just drop group or never join encounters where only a mage could tank?
As far as making hybrid classes, I think in general hybrid classes were usually jack of all trade classes. They weren't the most powerful mage or the best thief but they could get by in a pinch.
The question of the thread is eally "now that you have played Guild Wars 2, are you sold on getting rid of the trinity (presumably in other games that might do the same) and It's very clear that some people love doing multiple things and some like being damage dealer, traditional mmo tank, healer.
As I have mentioned earlier in this thread, I'm more for a soft trinity. I like the idea of "interesting classes" but don't support players being a mage that can call down lava storms, then dazzle with the sword and then, in full plate, be stealthy and pick the hardest locks.
But then again that's all pen and paper stuff and we don't really find that in an mmo.
I do like the idea of people playing "some type" of warrior and "some type" of mage. I'm not really for mage as boom master but mage as "mage". damage, buffs, light spells etc. But mmo's seem to have streamlined a lot of that stuff out.
Interesting enough a friend of mine is sick of modern mmo's (he's tried them all) and he went back to Everquest a few days ago.

I think this stems from all these years of classes being subjugated to one specific role. There was no other way of thinking. I agree at first people will complain that as a dps, you'll have to tank but I think over time people will find the game to be more dynamic and exciting that way. Sometimes it's good to be out of your comfort zone to experience new things.
Change is always met with opposition, regardless of whether a system would be improved or not.

Yep this is what annoys me about the constant recurrance of threads like this. How about we get some more diversity in the industry? If players like the trinity they already have hundreds of MMOs that cater to them.

This is what GW2 aimed to do, and to an extent, they did it. Some people have complained about multiple wipes, others have grasped the system and taken advantage of it, but overall, it's possible to do just that with a group of 5 of the same profession because that's how it was designed. You don't have to search for or be searched for, you just play the game the way you want to, no roles, no fuss. GW2 is a breath of fresh air to me personally, and there are plenty of trinity games out now as well, ones that I will inevitably give a try. That's why the OP's question is misleading. Neither trinity gameplay nor hybrid gameplay are going anywhere anytime soon.

As a point of note, I was shocked playing my first mmo (lineage 2) and could't understand why there weren't "light spells' and "tentacle spells" and shield spells and all the other little spells that made being a mage in Neverwinter nights fun.
I did blast a lot of things.

I will concede this point. Having a trinity system is easier on the devs. NWN was/is a great game but it's not balanced. In a MMO, classes have to be balanced (perhaps this paradigm needs to change?).
But yeah, I still hope and wish for a MMO like NWN. Hopefully it'll happen before I die or am unable to play video games.

I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you.
Here's how I view the trinity and all the wonderful things it has done for me in the past.......
It made looking for, and forming a group very difficult every time. The group had to be organized perfectly. You had to have so much tank, so much DPS, and so much healing from a healer. Even in a guild setting someone often got left out or couldn't go because of this mechanic.
Also....well.......there's nothing else. That's about it.
And that is all the wonderful things the trinity has done for me in mmos. That is the sole purpose it has ever served me.
Yea, I'd rather seriously not have it. Thanks.

Like I said in an earlier post: Any game with any amount of specialization will have roles, be that warriors and mages or close-quarter specialists with shotguns and snipers long range rifles. GW2 certainly has roles, they are only different from what some are used to. I don't have any problem with roles - I don't think anyone does. I only have problem with the holy trinity and the accompanying aggro mechanics which make combat so unnaturally formulaic.
Some single player games have even started using it! And there is no excuse! The resources do not constrict you in a way that you can only maintain a threat table and/or attack the player nearest to them. It is unforgivable in this day and age; I could exploit the poor AI in Baldur's Gate, Morrowind and more than half of the MMORPGs I've played, but now I expect more.
I die a little inside everytime when I see a SRPG using holy trinity. Even in Bordrerlands some abilities and weapons cause "less threat". It is in too many games, I tell you... and I can't escape it! I have never liked it and it is now more widely used than ever.
A good AI challenges you. It makes you think. This was the role of the GM in P&P games. Holy trinity just makes you go on autopilot. I'm at a point where I am willing to try anything other than that horrible, horrible system.

I think it''s less about a trinity of roles (keep in mind that I'm for a "soft" trinity or just about anything where one can have a focus on some sort of role) and what you said in that it's more about AI and how these encounters play out. You can have definite roles and still have complex fights but as you put it, the AI needs to be adaptive, intelligent, and more than rinse and repeat encounters.
Part of this is that mmo devs have completely gone down the simplification rabbit hole. I agree that just having a Tank shouting and keeping aggro and then the Damage dealers burning down the enemy (and for "some" reason they don't mind this) and then a healer to fill up a Tank is horrible. And it does contribute to Auto Pilot. But that has nothing to do with the stalwart warrior protectingg those who are not tough but who wield arcane powers or who skirt the fight waitting for moments of opportunity.
I play a tank in Tera, a game that does have roles, and it was quite refreshing for the 30 foot tall Baddie go for the healer, I couldn't get aggro so I charged across the room, putting myself between it and the healer, shield slammed it and then turned to throw out a chain and lpull a mob to me that was charging for another player in the group. It wasn't about being the tank and soaking damage as opposed to being an active participant in the fight. Which is mor e to my taste.
Part of this is also a group of players who are more interested in "leveling fast" and getting good loot. Therefore the entire experience has come down to a simplified skinner box.
take quest, run to glowy area on map, kill 10 things, run back to other glowy area on map, turn in quest, get reward, rinse and repeat.
As opposed to allowing players to explore, search, scout, find their objectives, fight if need be and during that fight they excercise their specializations that, because they work together, they are greater than their own individual contributions.

Freeloading mooches are the scourge of the gaming community.
I also enjoy my lancer in TERA for the same reasons. Vanguard also brought. A lot of new things to combat with rescues for tanks. Counter spells for casts. The reactive abilities re nice.

how sophisicated do you think AI in an mmo is going to get? are mobs going to completely ignore heavily armored characters and concentrate solely on unarmored casters? are they going to retreat while relentlessly firing projectiles until everyone is dead?
pen and paper games aren't restricted by video game dynamics so you can't really compare them in that regard.

I like gw2 system, however for most it a zerg. Because 2 reasons,
First with their system it is possible to work together, hell you can do really awesome things if done right. With 2 Mesmers you can keep all buff perma up, if done right. However, because their no YOU MUST DO THIS,,,, people get confuse and so it turn into a zerg. Since it take's a lot more communication to do team work in gw2. Which only people who have teamspeak and know each other well can do it right.
Second they made dgns and such way to freaking easy, and so it not needed and when something not needed people dont use it. Dgn are to the point that a fullly dps team, with no support are tanking abilities can beat them.
Hell I can solo multy dgns and I know a dps warrior that can solo dgns.
So this is a major problems, now the higher lvl fract can make it where a team gotta use some teamwork to beat it. However, those are the only things. This needs to be fix, make it where dgns are extrmely hard. At first people will cry and some will elave the game. However, team work among the players will start to apper.

for dungeons i find it funny how polar opposite people are on dungeon diffculty.. one half says they are brain dead easy the other half quit because they are too hard.. dungeons being too hard especially now you can't rez zerg the encounters is one of the most common complaints i see... yes you can beat them with 5 warriors but those 5 warriors would have to all really know their class which is how the dungeons were intended to be in the first place.. any combo of classes should be able to complete a dungeon as long as the group is skilled enough.

Lik the 2 Mesmer any class combination can go brilliantly if played right. Last week I grouped up with a hunter in Orr and done some wandering about when we found a maze. After battling through the maze we found a champion with some adds. As an ele I went kite and cc while the hunter blasted him- was a great fight :). Re dungeons it's not the class that matters its the build of the classes, e.g condition removal and boon play.
rpg/mmorg history: Dun Darach>Bloodwych>Bards Tale 1-3>Eye of the beholder > Might and Magic 2,3,5 > FFVII> Baldur's Gate 1, 2 > Planescape Torment >Morrowind > WOW > oblivion > LOTR > Guild Wars (1900hrs elementalist) Vanguard. > GW2(1000 elementalist), Wildstar

Any fool can know. The point is to understand.
Yes and No.
Bringing the Trio back / making those builds necessary would serve to make people experiment with builds that work well together. On the other hand it will bring us back to predjudices like "Necros and eles can't tank" or "Guardian and ele you heal" and parties will be far more picky.
It's nice but I think it would just serve them better to introduce boss mechanics beyond "have more hitpoints" and "spawn more dudes". Fights aren't hard enough in GW2, they are just long.
Play for fun. Play to win. Play for perfection. Play with friends. Play in another world. Why do you play?
