What the hell is this monstrosity?
Epeen Bot charts all of a character's parses on a timeline and shows them in relation to a large number of other raiders (specifically, all those who publically log on World of Logs).
Questions you might be able to answer using Epeen Bot:
How often is the data updated?
Every day at around 10AM EST. A script is run on a schedule that pulls down the latest data from World of Logs at 9AM which then crunches everything for Epeen Bot and DPS Bot - this takes up to an hour so you might see results a little earlier if you reload a bunch. The data dump from World of Logs contains roughly all parses from the last 24 hours (technically the data should contain all parses up to about 6AM EST - I leave a couple hours of time to make sure that the file is ready).
What are the limitations of Epeen Bot? What isn't being shown?
Excellent question! As with everything on Raidbots, there are many considerations to keep in mind.
What is shown for healers and tanks?
For healers, HPS is tracked. This is not a great stat but it's what is measurable. I really wouldn't recommend jumping to many conclusions for healers based on this data. Healing has a lot more variables than simply HPS.
For tanks, DPS is tracked. Again, I don't have enough data to be able to track too much else. DPS doesn't give you any idea about how survivable tanks are but it can give you an idea if a tank is doing as much damage as they can - this can be important on those first kills. It also might give some indication of threat but I wouldn't trust it too far in that regard.
Why can't I find data for my character or someone else?
To show up in Epeen Bot, the following must be true:
What are the percentiles? How are they calculated?
While you might initially shudder and remember tests in elementary school, percentiles are pretty useful. Using the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 95th percentile from all parses on World of Logs, Epeen Bot can put together a pretty decent view of where a player stands in relation to everyone else capable of killing that boss. The 50th percentile marks the middle ground and is where most players end up clustered. If you're up higher at the 75th or 95th percentile, you can say with some reliability that you parse higher than 75 or 95% of the rest of the raiding population.
Why are personal percentiles approximate?
Due to the way I'm currently collecting and crunching the data, I calculate the player percentile when you view the page. At that point, I don't have access to the full data set because it's huge. To get an approximate percentile, I look at the different between your DPS and the closest 10th percentile around you and calculate it from there. It's Pretty Close™ and good enough for now. If any of you out there with knowledge of stats think this isn't good enough, let me know and I'll look into getting a more accurate personal percentile.
Is there enough data to draw reasonable conclusions?
Raidbots tracks tens of thousands of raiders every week - the data source is a summary provided directly from World of Logs and contains every public parse uploaded to the site. For a given fight in a raid week, there are often thousands of individual players for each individual class. While it's not perfect and doesn't contain everything, it's the best data source available right now.
You can always get a view of how many samples are in the data set if you tweak DPS Bot a bit (that link shows a rough history of how many of each spec have been tracked in heroic fights over the last 6 months). As with everything else on this site, decide for yourself but be smart about the numbers.
I top meters in my guilds - why am I not ranked higher overall?
A lot of factors contribute to individual DPS: duration of boss fight, number of healers, good use of Bloodlust, boss strategy used, having all raid buffs, external unique buffs (PI, Innervate, etc), skill of the entire raid, and more. While you might be topping meters in your own raid, your guild might have a slower kill that impacts how effective Bloodlust is or your raid might use a strategy that minimizes individual DPS. The reality is that your entire raid might just be lower than other guilds.
I get trusted with kiting/debuff/backup duty - is there any way for Epeen Bot to show that I'm being useful rather than DPS whoring?
Unfortunately, no. I don't have enough information to be able to determine what a player was doing during a fight. Feel good in knowing that you're a key part of getting the kill (the most important part of raiding) and go bitch about the shortcomings of Raidbots on forums.
How does Epeen Bot handle duplicate reports?
Duplicate reports are a pain in the ass and probably impact the reporting in some cases. For the moment, if one player shows up in two different parses on the same day, Epeen Bot uses the higher DPS of the two. Duplicate reports happen pretty frequently if more than one person log a raid during a night.
This is all crap, WoW is just a game.
Sure it is but the great thing about MMOs is that different people can play in different ways. Some people care about the detailed stats and try to min/max everything they can - that's the kind of player I am and a lot of the hardcore raiders.
How do I prevent my data from showing up on the site?
World of Logs only exports public parses to me. If you don't want data showing up, set your logs to private and no new data will show up.
Did I leave something out? Do you want to send me hate/love mail?
Feel free to send me an email or comment on the Raidbots blog.

The Wally iPhone wallet arrives on Kickstarter, a new way to carry your bank cards
Wally has arrived on Kickstarter and it claims to be a wallet for the iPhone but redesigned. We have all seen loads of cases that also include a wallet but what if you don't want a case and just want something simple to hold your bank card? Well this is where the Wally looks to help you out. It is designed to cling to the back of your iPhone and can contain up to three bank type cards securely.
Wally isn't yet another wallet case, but rather a handcrafted leather pocket that grabs onto the back of your iPhone to secretly and securely hold what you need to have close at hand. He's the handsome grab-and-go solution.
Instead of a bulky case or a wallet with a pocket for your iPhone, Wally clings to the back of your iPhone and slick, gloss-finish cases. Utilizing micro-suction instead of glue or magnets, Wally has a grip like a gentleman: strong and secure, without leaving behind any tackiness.
The cards, once inserted in the wallet will not just fall out either, in order to get them out again you will have to pull them out using the included pull-tab system. The Wally is currently a Kickstarter project however it has already blasted through its funding target which was set at just $12,000. It still has 18 days left to run and currently sits at over $43,000; it appears that the Wally could be quite a popular product.
The Wally will be available in Ninja Black and Cowboy Brown and will be suitable for the iPhone 4, 4S and iPhone 5. If you fancy getting your hands on one of these as early as possible, you can still make a pledge starting from $40.
What do you think of the Wally iPhone wallet?

Aria. if you, thought Edith`s story is impossible... last week I got a new Ford Mustang after bringing in $4474 this past five weeks and even more than ten thousand this past-munth. without a doubt its the most-comfortable work I have ever done. I actually started eight months/ago and almost straight away was bringin home more than $83... per-hour. I follow the details on this straightforward website,, www.Fab17.com
(Click on home for details)
Not loving the red pull-tab.
Nice case, but I prefer the Pong Research <a href="http://www.pongresearch.com/science.html"> iPhone case </a>. Studies conducted by numerous scientific teams in several nations have raised troubling questions about possible associations between heavy cell phone use and serious health dangers. That's why I decided to do something that reduce cell phone radiation levels for protect to my family. I read about Pong Research cases, Pong technology is custom-designed for each mobile device and works to redirect radiation away from your head and body. I hesitated about it, anyway, I bought a case Pong because is the only technology proven in FCC-certified laboratories to reduce the exposure to mobile device radiation by up to 95% below the FCC limit without compromising the device's ability to communicate.

Wireless contact synchronization with Yahoo! Mail, MSN, Gmail and Alt-N integrations allow BlackBerry smartphone contacts to synchronize with the contacts of these associated email accounts. The synchronization is two-way, which means contacts can be created, modified and deleted from either the BlackBerry smartphone or the email account from a web browser, and the changes will synchronize both ways.
The contact synchronization occurs automatically over the air, which removes the need to connect the BlackBerry smartphone to a computer to perform the synchronization.
A single BlackBerry smartphone can synchronize with the contacts of multiple supported email accounts. Each email account will have its own contact list which can be seen in the Contacts Options on the BlackBerry smartphone. The contacts can be displayed in a single unified list or can be filtered based on the email account they are synchronized with.
The wireless synchronization will only synchronize between the BlackBerry smartphone and the associated email account. Contacts will not synchronize from one email account to another when multiple supported accounts are integrated.
Note: If the BlackBerry smartphone is running a version of software that does not support wireless address book synchronization, the option to enable wireless synchronization will not be available when integrating or configuring the email account.
To enable or disable wireless contact synchronization, please complete the following steps:

- Choose Contacts from the home screen.
- Click menu button and choose Options.
- Choose the appropriate contact list.
- Place check mark next to Wireless Synchronization to enable wireless synchronization and uncheck to disable wireless synchronization.
Note: If the email account has not yet been integrated with the BlackBerry Internet Service account, please refer to the BlackBerry Internet Service user guide for instructions on how to integrate an existing email account.
Note: Yahoo! Mail Categories, MSN and Alt-N Groups are not supported. Category and/or Contact Group distribution lists will not be synchronized.
Note: Wireless contact synchronization with Yahoo! Mail, GMail/Google Mail and/or Alt-N email integrations requires BlackBerry Device Software 5.0, BlackBerry 6, or BlackBerry 7.
Note: Wireless contact synchronization with MSN, Hotmail, and/or Windows Live email integrations is only available on BlackBerry smartphones running BlackBerry 6 or BlackBerry 7.
Note: Contact synchronization occurs every four hours and is limited to 10,000 contacts. Once this number is reached, data synchronization of new contacts will stop and the BlackBerry smartphone user will get the following message:
You have reached the maximum number of contacts allowed by your <emailaddress> account. The BlackBerry Internet Service will continue to synchronize the existing contacts for <emailaddress> on your BlackBerry device to your <emailaddress> account.

Robert Ham: Dispatch From Sasquatch (Days Two & Three)
My intention was to have regular updates from the Sasquatch Festival up on the site while the festival was going on, but the Internet service at the event had other ideas. I conceded defeat quickly and decided to instead spend my time concentrating on the almost overwhelming amount of music at my disposal. I think I made the right decision as almost every one of the bands and performers that I saw on Sunday and Monday hit their marks with deadly accuracy, leaving the often-overflowing crowds ravenous for more.

LAUREL HILL — There is a definite family resemblance between Laurel Hill boys basketball players Tommy and Tamaria Calloway. It's evident in their physical appearance and the way they play basketball.
Tommy, a senior, and Tamaria, a junior, give the Hoboes a strong one-two punch at guard on both ends of the floor. On any given night, the brothers will top Laurel Hill's scoring chart as they continue the family tradition their older brother Travon, a 2012 Laurel Hill graduate, began.
Tommy and Tamaria said it's fun playing with their siblings and enjoying instincts the brothers often share on the floor.
"It's been really good because we've been able to do it all together," Tommy said. "We help each other rather than us trying to do it all alone. And to play as a team, we can pull for each other.
"Sometimes, I can just feel where my brother is without looking. We can feel each other wherever we are on the court; we can feel exactly where each other is … so if we are in trouble, we can get each other the ball."
Tamaria, the youngest and tallest of the three brothers, appreciates playing with his older brothers.
"Last year, it felt good because there were all three of us on the court and we communicated good," he said. "And we worked together as a team. This year, it's still the same, but not like it was last year because there are only two of us."
Longtime Hobo assistant coach Ronnie Smith praised the Calloways as players and students.
"They are tremendous young men," he said. "They are leaders in the school. Travon was Homecoming King, which means they've got the respect of their peers, and Tommy won the Homecoming King (title) this year.
"And it wouldn't surprise me if Tamaria did (next year), which goes to show how respected they are and well liked in the school. Both guys come to school and do things the right way. They are a pleasure to be around every day.
The Calloways bring multiple skill sets to the court, Smith said.
"Both of them take great pride in their defense and they are pretty good offensive players too," he said. "Tamaria plays point guard and Tommy plays the shooting guard for us. They are, I would say, 30 or 40 percent of our offense on any given night. They are very important to our basketball team.
"They work hard for their team. They come out here and give it a good day's work every day unless they are sick or hurt. They are a pleasure to be around and those kind of guys are needed on a basketball team."
Tommy said Travon showed him how to go strong to the basket and play with confidence and composure.
While Tommy learned from his older brother, he's willing to take constructive criticism from Tamaria. For instance, Tamaria suggested that Tommy keep his head up when coming up the court with the ball so he could easily spot an open teammate.
Tommy said Tamaria does a good job with drawing the defenders so he can dish off to an open teammate. Tommy also pointed out that Tamaria needs to work on his outside shot.
In years to come, the Calloways will share in that extra common bond of being teammates as well as brothers and the memories that go with it.
"I'm never on the court alone," Tommy said. "With him (Tamaria) on the floor, I feel comfortable because we have been playing basketball together the longest time.
"Having him on the court just makes me feel comfortable because I know what he's going to do."

I thought, like my other Arc pieces, that this jacket was going to rock. However, i was left disappointed. The fit was too snug, especially for running, and I had the same zipper problem as others have stated. Since backcountry rocks at returns, I sent it back and went with the squammish hoody. Yes, I run in this jacket. I tuck in the hood and it has been perfect. Still a fan of Arcteryx just not of this jacket.

Zipper Issue is a Show Stopper
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Sometimes you read a review like Johnatahan Rambo's below that talks about a seemingly very strange issue and you dismiss it. Most of the time it was just that individual, maybe a defect in their product or user error of some sort. This is not the case here. I can verify his claim that the zipper does indeed fall as you run. It takes less time than you think especially if you have a broader chest.
Most zippers, even those on common blue jeans, lock when they pull tab is down, this one doesn't. What makes matters worse it is a very free moving zipper, there's no water proofing on the zipper or anything else to add friction. Indeed the only position that the zipper will stay put in is completely zipped up, this is not a feature but a function of the forces acting on the zipper.
I generally love Arc'teryx products, but this jacket honestly makes me wonder if there was any real world product testing of this piece before it came to market.
The fit is fine, maybe a little tight across the chest but that's in line with what I expected. The fabric is a good compromise between breathability and wind protection. If you want a jacket to really block 90%+ of the wind or are running in bitter cold I would look for something that is much more wind resistant than this. This fabric is great for taking the edge off the winds without sacrificing much breathability.
I did not purchase this jacket at Backcountry.com (unfortunately, if I had it would be returned already.) I bought it on sale at a local shop and have had it for a few years, I've tried to "make it work" dozens of times each time cursing as I constantly had to keep zipping it up. I've finally purchased a Salomon Charvin Jacket for my cold windy runs to replace this. Important Note: I think mine is a 2009, I'm not sure if this is an updated version, or if the zipper issue has been fixed. Maybe someone from Backcountry can look and see if the zipper on the one they are selling has a self locking mechanism.

Years later I have tried the Accelero again, same old problem! The zipper continues to fall. This is the most annoying problem of a jacket ever, will not recommend, this product is just simply not suited for running in my opinion.

The title says it all. I really wanted to love this jacket, and at first I really did like it, but then I started to realize I really didn't. First of all, for any of you guys that have reviewed saying too roomy or too baggy, use some common sense and size down. The jacket fits fine. Since Arcteryx started mass merchandizing (around 2008 they blew up commercially) their sizing turned really wacky. From then on smalls became mediums; Mediums became large and larges became XL. This is a pretty common fact so don't say that is a flaw it is just their sizing has changed and you need to just size down. Now for this jacket, I really liked the materials top notch, lite, packable, slightly insulated with reflective heat, wind resistant and above all active fit. What I did not like about this jacket is no stretch, just doesn't have it. The reason I got two was I returned one because the zipper kept coming down unless I had it all the way to the top which I don't like to do all of the time unless I need to (and the neck was a little tight especially with layers). Now if I was just hanging out and relaxing this was not a problem but on the trail running it was down right annoying. So I returned it and the same issue. So I realized this jacket just was not going to work for me. So I cut my loses. Sizing; I am 5'10" 165. I have a 41-42 inch chest depending ont the season and a 19-20 inch long torso. This jacket fit me perfectly in the small. I will admit it was a little tighter than I normally wear, but it really did not feel tight when moving and that is all that matters. I hope this helps some of you out.

Longtime Mount Pleasant newspaper and magazine icon Hassie Holmes was taken in by Charleston County EMS on Sunday ,Oct. 20. Mount Pleasant Police, Fire department and several local residents responded and helped Holmes get some help he needed, according to eye-witness Mark Smith.
Hassie Holmes is getting "wonderful care" at East Cooper Regional Medical Center, he told Smith. He stated, "I got hit by a vehicle last Friday on my bike going to work and my health started failing afterwards." He was glad that he was "strongly encouraged" to get some help and "get checked out. I'm not sure when I will get out but I'm thankful that the sun came up today," he told Smith and then he sang a line from the musical Annie 'The sun will come up tomorrow.'
If anyone wants to donate any money for his care and rehab, Capital Bank at 651 Johnnie Dodds Boulevard has an account set up for his benefit.
Mount Pleasant resident Ellen Bishop saw the Facebook posting about Holmes' condition and wanted to do something to help. She banks at Capital Bank and asked Charlie Gamble, assistant branch manager, if a donation fund could be set up in Holmes' name.
"I only know Hassie like everybody else does," said Bishop. "I just wanted to do something nice."
Gamble agreed. Donations have been pouring in and many, who don't even bank there, have come in to support the effort, he said.
Donations can be made in person, by mail or by using the night drop. Explicit instructions must be included so that the donation goes straight to the Hassie Holmes Fund. Stop by or mail a check to the Hassie Holmes Fund at 651 Johnnie Dodds Boulevard, Mount Pleasant, S.C. 29464.
Mount Pleasant Police Department Spokesperson Maj. Stan Gragg said that no reports were filed in regards to Holmes being involved in a pedestrian versus auto accident.

Thanks so much ladies. They made all the digging last fall completely worth the sore back! As to the mosaic, Amanda & Greta, all credit goes to Picasa. I will admit to reshuffling a couple times and cropping some photos, but it's a great tool - and free.ReplyDelete

This game a sandbox of sorts?

Like a sand box game, you may also build up housing, businesses, guild halls, and the towns around them. Yet there is also an overall progressing world history since time continues to move forward in an ever changing world. There is nothing out there like it.

Well im interested, because they say they are going to do something diffrent, what that is exactly...well im not sure. (aside from whati can assume is the quest system that may or may not include the same structured quests in every game just served to you diffrently)
Just looking at the sceenshots...well it looks like high rez textures placed on innatural perfect shapes, and those shaps placed together to make "stuff" all the stuff is seated in an unnatural way on the ground, lots of right angles and sharp contrasts between vivid textures on the buildings ect. That was good in 2008...but weve come a lon way since then, and it looks dated. I do realize those screenshots are old however, and lack any form of vegatation which could mask the rough polygon into terrain sharp angles and distinct bright colors highliting it all...
Look this was something that would have really revved me up in the past. Ive grown weary of indy games using a "made for the game" engine...game engines are incredibly complex and have a massive effect on the games quality of play, its a huge risk, and while the guys making the game engine for this mmorpg as their "unreal tournament for the unreal engine" gives me a bit of hope that they are some serious code-monkies and it will be quality and specific to the game genere i like (where unreal does fit mmorpgs it wasnt specifically built for it, and usually lacks custimization ect)
Im rooting for this all to work out soon enough to where it wount be completely dated.
However...people are getting sick to death with games focused on questing. Specifically that the quests consist of the same ingredients since the first mmorpgs, they are just served to you in diffrent manners. I cant be the only one whos noticed that 90% of the game community breezes by quests as an obstical for their belived instanced hampsterwheels that are raids/battlegrounds. Hopefully this is out the box questing in a way that will seem completly new to vets.
Also, people have been burned to a crisp by indy developers promising the world but delivering a unstable client with a combat system that was a chore and anything but entertaining...the community is going to be very distrustful of any developer speaking in the same manner that those other guys did...which is what this developer or spokesman on this site from the studio is speaking...just saying, doesnt bother me but it does come off as "oh great another indy studio promising the world again..."
So when can we expect some modern screen shots and videos of gameplay....when is expected launch...ballpark figure...we talking another 7 years, 5 years, 2 years....
An last is what DX are you guys planning to use? Seems to be a good gauge at how modern the game will look.

But as an aside, the game World is the size of an real planet.
The quests described in a simplistic way are generated around thousands of parameters, and consist generally of and are played in a Reflected world with between 1-8 invited players invited by the owner (you). These are generated where storyline components are embeded into quests which are dynamically generated based on what you as a Fallen Hero has done within the game. Different variations exist of the Reflected Worlds you can play in as such Global events can be played out where the 1-8 player limit becomes more cooperative due to the nature of the challenges presented to the World.
The main Hub of the Worlds for players is "The Citadel" which hold 7 Tiers , 5 Leagues has an aim that you progress and get promoted through the leagues and tiers to be trusted to face the perils of Morphael with the Shattered Worlds Reflecteions of the original.
Each Tier has 54 available skills per tier which can be learned through gaining tomes on your trabvels but only lerning from these can be acheived at the Universtity ( 7 Tiers / 5 Leagues and 54 skills per tier) giveing a variety of abilities to choose from 1890 base skills/abilities in game. Other abilities exist beyond these but they are unknown. I believe that you start with 10 base skills two from each league but after that your progression is your own choice or via guidance from the University Lecturers.
The game is predominantley PvE and the NPC ai is based on their inteligence not player Int or skills the players use so the game will play a lot more tactical and require a lot more thought. (This game is all about Gameplay most of which has become non existent in most MMOs thesedays). The Citadel hosts a Arena where challenges can be made to test skills against other players.
This is a World which is consistent structurally but will vary depending on yourself you nemesis and what can be loosely termed as faction(but are not). So theoretically your gameplay is one big quest which happens around yourself based on your World Storyline, this is a big change from the norm because if you want to you head to you current work as allocated by the leagues at the citadel which will portal you to the vicinity of what they wish you tyo acheive, from that point on you could just head north and brave the wilds.
An example may be you have to retrieve "The Tome of Ultimate Evil" ,
This is where the bespoke engine comes in and as you stated very difficult to acheive , my understanding is this is what they have developed along with the World Simulator that they were also commisioned to generate. Which uses Biomes and true Geography and erosion and weather patterns and all that goes with this(Compolicated).
So their priorities:
This is just for info and I guess that you probably aren't that interest but I would go to the forumns and ask if you are.
I have dropped a quote in from the Developer about Guilds just out of interest as it gives a feel about gameplay options (Please note this is in development so nothing is set in stone):

I see why you would be confused. Anyone would. The screenshots you've seen are just pre-alpha placeholders to be able to test systems, like they mentioned mmorpg.com required them to post screenshots to list the game.
They chose to communicate with players way earlier than other upcoming mmo's. Usually at this stage mmos don't involve players and they're just a project that no one but the developers know about, but mmo magic chose to involve the player from the very beginning when the game was just an idea in the developers mind to watch it grow bit by bit. Only recently have they started their hunt for a good publisher.
As for the quest system I suggest you head to the official forums and read up a bit. It's not your usual "same thing done differently". It would be impossible to write a walkthrough for a quest because it would be so different for every person because it depends highly on your choices and past actions, For example (and this is a very general example that doesn't do the game justice) :
You're buying something from the shop when you see a woman running around asking if anyone saw her son, you ask her a few questions gather info, you choose to head to look for him or ask around in the town. You would collect info and some of it might be wrong, you need to deploy your best judgement to see which pieces of info best serve your purposes. You are told he was playing with the blacksmith's boy when a person came and snagged him. You try to track that person and successfully do. Now you have to make a choice: You chose to knock that person down and interregate him, a better choice would have been to kill him and retrieve the boy who is tied up behind the bush because he gives you false info that leads you into a trap where the boy gets killed... and t hings turn out to be bigger than just a case of kidnapping! and the fun begins...
Now if another person gets the same quest it would be so different to the point of unrecognizable, like for example turns out the boy was hiding watching a band of bandits plotting something. Different but equally engaging.
Like you've noticed no "kill 10 rats" or "collect 10 bananas" or "escort said person" or "give this item to this other npc". It's an actual story where things happen not just the same old quest types worded differently. one of these quests could take you a week to complete with enough story details to keep you glued to the screen like a good book that you happen to live inside, a book that writes itself as you go, affected by your choices.
This is a far cry from other quest based mmo's and it's one of the reasons why they chose to build their own engine. I suggest you go to the official forums and give it a look.
Hmm website states states that they will give updates every month or two. Only that news update is dated in Jan 2012 and its the only new update ever.
Vaporware? Or is this one of those things where they make a game engine with the intentions of selling the game engine and never really make a mmorpg out of it...seen that happen on this site plenty of times. "Whoops we ment to say that it was just a game engine but no one bought it and there was never a game just some screenshots and videos of the engine"

And no, this is not vaporware, or a game engine only. Yes, this game uses a new engine, and tools, but it is very much a game under development, though we never promised it would be a short development. You can find out as much as you want about the game and progress at the www.citadelofsorcery.com site, go to Forums.
We are happy to answer any questions you might have about the game, if we can, either here, or at our forums.
Hope to see you in Citadel of Sorcery some day!

Had trouble remembering the name of the game as I was thinking about it while reading a thread discussing alternatives to standard MMO questing. (I know you guys fly under the radar, but you're practically invisible these days)
Glad to see you're still around and kicking Jatar

The worlds are only for 1-8 invited players? What?! So they make a world as big as a planet then instance it off? Am I reading this right?

It ties into their lore of their world, but it also stops random people from breaking their complicated questing system.

I admit my interest is high but I do not think they have a shot at the 700k goal on kickstarter. I would love to see a game go back to building worlds and will be window shopping on this one depending on how it goes through alpha.
Originally posted by Fendel84M
Accept... each Reflected World is not an instance, but a different world, like an alternate universe. An instance is a copy of something, this is not a copy since, many, many things are different in each world. I'm not sure how this ruins anything for anyone. You can go to Community Worlds and adventure with lots of players in the same world, or go to endless Reflected Worlds with varying storylines for smaller group play. Since which you choose to do is your choice, what are you losing?
Have to see how it plays out. But I worry the game will end up mostly solo on your own planet even and it will just be group content on main world. Can people choose to only play on group world as a viable option? Is there lore for this?
Seems like a waste of having a planet as big as earth as they have said.

Living the Simple Life
A family travels across the country to become self-sufficient on a northern Idaho homestead
By Tammy Trayer
Published: December 14, 2012
In the
February 2013
issue of
Cabin Life
, Tammy Trayer offered readers a glimpse into her family's simple lifestyle in "
Dreams Do Come True
." She explained how they moved from Pennsylvania to northern Idaho, then lived in a canvas tent in the wilderness until their house was built. Here, she shares more about how they have managed the homestead and continue to find greater reward by living with less.
This canvas wall tent was the Trayer family's wilderness home for more than 8 months while their house was being built. All photos courtesy www.givenagift.com.
This photo of Tammy, Austin and Glen was taken when they still lived in Pennsylvania. It was just the beginning of their wild adventure.
After six days on the road, a flat tire, eight blown injectors on the GMC, and the purchase of a new Ford F-250, we arrived at our destination of home. It was a five-acre parcel of untouched land in northern Idaho that we had purchased site unseen from Pennsylvania. Our dream had come true!
We slept a night in the gooseneck trailer until we had the 8x14-foot canvas-wall tent constructed. There were two adults, a teenager, two dogs and a hamster, as well as our cots, a clothing tote for each person, and a table in our small living space.
For the first whole month, there was nothing but pouring rain, but we didn't bat an eyelash. We were so excited, and a little rain wasn't going to deter us. For 8½ months, we lived in the wall tent and built our home. It was an experience and an adventure like no other, and not one of us would have traded the experience for anything!
After 9 months of living in the tent, the Trayers moved into their new home, and not a moment too soon as winter was setting in.
Cooking cornbread biscuits and breakfast on the woodstove.
The night before we moved into the house, we were forced out of the tent due to extremely high winds. That was one of three nights we spent cooped up in the pickup.
We moved into our home December 11, 2010. That night, it was nothing more than 30 feet by 36 feet of open space with a plywood floor, no windows and a woodstove in one corner. There was a foot of snow on the ground, and we were grateful to be out of the elements with a secure roof over our heads. The solar power was hooked up and our well was providing water.
The first addition to our living quarters was a window to add some light and allow us to get some of the heat out. I was making all of our meals on the woodstove and keeping it at a constant heat, so it was typically 80–85 degrees inside the house.
Glen fabricated this rotating stand to hold half of the solar panels that power the homestead.
My husband Glen continued our interior progress by adding the bathroom, kitchen, several more windows and studding out the bedrooms. We still have Tyvec walls to this day – our cosmetic work will come later. Our Christmas present the first year was adding power and running water in our living quarters.
Our son Austin was so excited on Christmas Eve to get the comforts of his bed. His bed was placed in the midst of mounds of Rubbermaid totes. He simply voiced that although he loved tent living, he was very thankful for his bed and that it was the BEST Christmas present ever.
The first night out of the tent and in the new house was toasty thanks to the woodstove.
Glen cleans and seasons a large kettle by the smokehouse.
The winter of 2010–2011 was spent chopping firewood as needed. We spent 8½ weeks in our cozy, snowy wilderness setting while unable to drive out due to our road conditions. It was the best 8½ weeks ever, and Glen was able to get in some trapping. It was truly a winter wonderland with untouched white puffy snow everywhere. During that winter we received one snowfall of 36 inches, which did not stop us from exploring by any means. We quickly put on the snowshoes and off we went. We did a lot of exploring that winter.
We spent 2011 getting everything in order in our home's interior and relaxing a bit. We also groomed our exterior, built our large woodshed, a smokehouse and a temporary smithy, and canned whatever vegetables we could get our hands on. Our loft was built in September to prepare for our families to visit and add extra space to our living quarters. Our open bedrooms turned quickly into unique cabin rooms and made our home even cozier.
Glen teaches Austin how to building the smokehouse using traditional tools from their ancestors.
The firewood crew helped to get the wood house fully stocked for winter.
Our family is always busy doing something. Glen is always busy in the smithy, fabricating something new for our house. I will never have to worry about having to call a Mr. Fix-It, because whatever we need he can do it.
We are all always tinkering, and if there is a traditional skill that we do not yet know, then we learn it. We greatly enjoy our traditional setting and our traditional lifestyle.
Every ounce of extra time we have we try to use to get out in the wilderness and explore. We live in a vast playground. When we can take a whole day, we hike 20-plus miles in lands that have not seen people in years. As we tell people, "We are allergic to trails, so as soon as our feet connect with a trail we quickly step off and into the unseen wilderness." There is so much to see and do.
Austin feeds the Trayers' 30 laying hens at the homestead's henhouse.
The Trayer rabbit hutch. The family plans to add one doe (female) and one buck (male) in 2013.
In the midst of all the building, I was canning everything that I could get my hands on, including 75 pounds of carrots (yield: 74 quarts), three batches of our chili sauce/salsa, three batches of Trayer Wilderness Hot Mustard, and two batches of our friend Joel's Famous Hot Sauce (darn near killed the family with that one). I also continued to do my web designs, freelance writing and keeping everyone well fed.
In 2012, Glen fabricated a sawmill. We built our son a treehouse on stilts, using this project to help us get the bugs worked out of the sawmill. Then we built the chicken coop, which now houses 30 laying hens, Ray the Rooster and Gus the Ginny Rooster. Then came the rabbit hutch, where we currently have four does and will be getting another doe and a buck before winter sets in. Then we built a small log cabin in a mere 4½ weeks to accommodate guests.
The whole year was spent running from one project to the next. It was a crazy year, but we enjoy being productive and seeing the rewards of our hard work daily. We ran out of time for one thing on our to-do list this year, and that was the greenhouse, so that will be first in line next spring.
As part of the family business of homemade goods, Tammy makes and sells goat's milk soap and candles. Here, they are shown on display at a store called Harebrained & Happy in Potlatch, Idaho.
We make everything from scratch back here in our wilderness environment. Austin is on a gluten-free and casein-free diet, and we are trying to eliminate all the additives, preservatives and chemicals in our foods and products. I make our own laundry, dish and bar soap, and I make our own deodorant as well. In the kitchen, I make everything from our own seasonings and condiments to all our breads, baked goods and wholesome meals. It is something I very much enjoy. In addition, I enjoy refurbishing old furniture.
In addition to all our family projects we also run our business, Rocking GT Designs, out of our home. Glen manufactures traditional-style mortise-and-tenon furniture. He also hand forges all his hardware, along with a hand-forged metal line and horseshoe art. I assist with the web designs and marketing and also provide handcrafted goat-milk soaps, 100% soy candles, gift baskets and other various handcrafted gift items. Austin makes leather moccasins and various other leather items.
We are constantly exploring, building, repurposing, growing, raising, etc. In 2013, we will be obtaining two horses to start filling our corral, building our greenhouse, and who knows what else!

Loacker Quadratini Lemon Wafers 8 8
Good lemon flavor Light and crispy wafers with a creamy lemon filling, these would be good with a glass of tea or cup of coffee, as a light dessert or accompaniment to a scoop of ice cream. November 17, 2013
Yummy I have tried all the flavors (vanilla, chocolate, dark chocolate, hazelnut, and tirimasu) these are the best. I am so sad I cannot order these online. October 6, 2010
These are really great Cookies! These cookies have excellent taste and texture. I can't imagine a better lemon cookie than these! ...they taste exactly like biting into a piece of lemon meringue pie...yummy! August 27, 2010
killer they are the best wafer I have ever had, actually they are so good, we call them killer, I try not to buy them often, because we just can not have them enough. January 1, 2010
The BEST lemon wafers I love these wafers. I can't keep enough of them around. The lemon flavor is excellent and sharp. I've purchased lemon wafers from other stores and none compare to these. These wafers are crisp and packed with lemon flavor. September 27, 2009
Excellent Wafer! We were on vacation and saw these at Cost Plus and thought they looked interesting so we tried them. They were so good that we ate them in one day. Luckily we have a Cost Plus in our hometown so that we can buy more. September 9, 2009
My guilty pleasure! I have been looking for the best lemon cookie for a long time. This is the one. August 17, 2009
Love quadratini's I have tried several flavors of the quadratini's and hands down the vanilla is the best one. I did not really care that much for the lemon flavored as it was to overpowering. We buy the chocolate and vanilla and buy many bags when we go to world market. On average we buy six bags at a time which last about 2 weeks so you can see we love quadratini's it is our favorite store bought cookie hands down. February 16, 2011

Tuscarawas News Detail
Communication Studies NCA Presentations Include Top Paper HonorsPosted Dec. 3, 2012
By Khalil Dixon
Several faculty and graduate students in the School of Communication Studies at Kent State University participated in the National Communication Association's (NCA) 98th Annual Convention in Orlando, Florida from November 15-18, 2012. A paper by Dr. Jeffrey T. Child and David Westermann was recognized as a top paper and a video presentation by Ph.D. candidate Norma Jones attracted international media interest.
"Let's Be Facebook Friends: Exploring Parental Facebook Friend Requests from a Communication Privacy Management (CPM) Perspective" by Dr. Jeffrey T. Child and David A.Westermann was recognized as a Top Four Paper for the Family Communication division. The study explored a range of factors that illuminate young adult decision-making about the type of access allowed for each parent in terms of participating as a part of their Facebook space. Child is an associate professor and the undergraduate coordinator in the School of Communication Studies. Westermann is a master's degree graduate from the school.
Child also played a significant service role for the NCA by organizing seven Scholar-to-Scholar (S2S) sessions on a wide range of topics across all units and interest groups of the NCA. The sessions included "Communication in a Global Society," "Communication and the Maintenance of Diverse Relationships," "Communication, Politics, and Popular Culture," "Communication, Technology, and Media Use and Effects," "COMMunity through Social Media and Computer-mediated Interactions," "Rhetorical and Critical Perspectives" and "How Individuals Process, Construct, and Respond to Messages."These S2S sessions featured more than 200 papers and presentations reflecting critical issues faced by communication scholars throughout the discipline.
A video submitted by Norma Jones for a panel of the NCA Forum and Research Board was picked up by Firstpost, an online newsroom in India. The panel, titled, "What Just Happened - Call and Response on the 2012 Election," included the video "Beyond the Daisy ad - Election2012: Political Advertisements and the Persuadable Middle." Jones is a doctoral student in the College of Communication and Information. The video can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HItyo9oGD2A

Purim Plays and Carnivals
Creative ways that fulfill the religious obligation to have fun.
By Rabbi Daniel Kohn
We Also Recommend
The joyous nature of the Purim celebration often carries a serious message behind the smile. The Purim Shpiel often takes a look at world politics with various world leaders playing the roles of heroes and villains. By offering a mocking commentary, the Purim Shpiel presents a Jewish version of political justice in the world.
Despite the relatively minor nature of the festival of Purim, it has assumed far greater proportions and significance in popular Jewish culture. It is often celebrated as if it were a major Jewish holiday. On the surface of it, the events of Purim–recounted in the biblical book of Esther–are about a near catastrophe in ancient Persia. The Jews, about to be attacked, end up turning the tables on their enemies and end up the victors. Therefore, the date of Purim became an opportunity for celebration of this miraculous turn of events.
Early on, the Talmud records that Purim was a date of celebrations and riotous parties. In the Talmudic tractate entitled Megillah (megillah means "scroll," referring to the scroll of Esther) the ancient Rabbis passed along a longstanding tradition that in order to celebrate the victory of Purim, everyone is supposed to drink alcohol and reach the point where they are unable to differentiate between the phrases "Bless Mordecai" and "Curse Haman"(Megillah 7a). While the dictum of consuming alcohol may not be palatable to everyone today, drinking (at least for the adults!) and merriment remain a traditional aspect of Purim celebrations.
Even though Purim is a religious opportunity for young and old to celebrate together, the celebration of Purim has been commonly relegated to a children's event. Many synagogues today celebrate Purim by holding a Purim fair or carnival. This is an opportunity to set up booths with games, give prizes, and serve holiday foods. And the highlight of any Purim celebration is the Purim Shpiel.
The Purim Shpiel
Shpiel is a Yiddish word meaning a "play" or "skit." A Purim shpiel is actually a dramatic presentation of the events outlined in the book of Esther. Featuring the main characters, such as King Ahasuerus, Mordecai, Esther, and the wicked Haman, the Purim shpiel was a folk-inspired custom providing an opportunity for crowds to cheer the heroes (Mordecai and Esther) and boo the villains (Haman). It is a staple of many modern synagogue Purim celebrations for children to attend the ritual chanting of the book of Esther and Purim carnivals dressed in costumes depicting these main characters.

We're delighted that moments ago the Government in Westminster announced the timetable for the implementation of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act in England and Wales.
Same-sex couples will now be able to get married in a registry or approved religious premises from 29 March 2014. We're particularly pleased that, following pressure from Stonewall, ministers have been persuaded to bring forward the commencement date from summer 2014 as they'd originally proposed. There will be a slight further delay for people who want to 'convert' from civil partnerships to marriage.
This historic step will mean that, for the first time, every gay person in England and Wales will finally enjoy exactly the same rights as their heterosexual friends and family.
Don't forget if you are thinking of booking a date for your big day in the New Year, it's now against the law for any business to treat someone less fairly because of their sexual orientation – whether they're a registry office, a hotel or a florist. If you experience any problems, do contact Stonewall's Information Service on 08000 50 20 20 or firstname.lastname@example.com for advice or support.
It's particularly resonant for us that this announcement has been made on UN Human Rights Day. As we celebrate the progress made in Britain, we're marking the day by launching new guidance for equality activists worldwide. The guide, which is free to download, and further details of Stonewall's work with international LGB & T activists in over 35 countries can be found at: www.stonewall.org.uk/international
During office hours please call: 020 7593 1856 or outside office hours on 07985 439 660.

Why Chromecast is no replacement for Apple TV...yet!
Google Chromecast might well be an exciting new product, and it might well only cost $35, but there's still some inherent let downs and frustrations for early adopters. Particularly it seems, streaming live YouTube events to your Google dongle is a no-go area right now. Android Central Forums member danrad55 writes:
I was looking for some help "Chromecasting" the LIVE Lollapalooza Concert from Chicago with my new Google Chromecast via Youtube as promised, but no luck. Yesterday it wouldn't play so I thought that because it was new, they were having some start up issues. Today the concert plays better but no Chromecast. Anyone else have the same issue? It plays other feeds, Netflix beautifully. I decided to plug in my Apple TV and try streaming using my iPad 2. Perfect. I have tried using my PC and Samsung S4 to no avail. Bummed and disappointed and sadly, I have to admit that at this point the Apple System is kicking ass. Anyone here know how to stream the Live feed. Thanks in advance.
We're not ripping on the Chromecast here, because truth told, we're excited to see what it brings to the table in the coming months. But, YouTube is a Google product, and it seems in some aspects it isn't working well with other Google products. Yet in strolls the Apple TV and AirPlay to rescue danrad55 in his hour of need. Sure, licensing and such may well be an issue, but it's still good to see that the Apple TV is packing where and when it matters.
So, have any of you guys taken the plunge with Chromecast yet, and if so, have you encountered any early frustrations? Be sure to drop us a line in the comments, and with your Mobile Nations Passport, jump into the discussion in the Android Central Forums!

Why Chromecast is no replacement for Apple TV...yet!
Not available in Canada yet :(
Still, I use my Apple TV a lot by itself, with no iOS or OS X device controlling it at all, and I think I'd miss that capability with the ChromeCast.
We'll see!
Always the bridesmaid. :-|
Kidding. :-D
You get what you pay for.
In the case of Chromecast you get;
Poor audio and video quality.
Little content.
No 5ghz..in a video streamer device!
Google tracking and selling all your viewing habits.
Lock in to Google so they can track your viewing habits through Chrome as well as the device.
Where are you getting Poor audio and video quality? That is going to depend of you internet connection. I have seen this thing run Netflix in 1080 and it looks just as good as on my ps3.
Jerry at AndroidCentral seems to disagree with this article;
If I find one user who has an issue with AppleTV, will you post an article stating that AppleTV is no replacement for Chromecast.. yet? Thought not.
Check the source link. This is an Android Central article.
Sent from the iMore App
chromecast is basically just airplay. but it's not all of appletv or similar hardware (wdtv, roku,etc.)
Those other devices play content from an external hard drive, networked or directly. Some play a wider variety of content containers. Chromecast doesn't do that easily. i think it can with using a browser to enter file paths but the others you just aim the remote and navigate. Also the simple fact that the others have a remote and aren't tied to a devices makes it different. But everybody has differnent needs. I've got a couple external drive with nearing 2gbs of movies, home movies, music vids, sports games, and music many in older formats or newer mkv. I don't netflix or stream music so i need usb ports, codec support but don't need to beam netflix or youtube to a tv. I need to beam my content from my hard drive to my tv. And chromecast isn't as great at that yet. But i'm hopping Google releases a full fledged apple tv competing device complete with usb ports, chromecast inside, access to my google music files, and great codec support.
Is it me or is Google throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks!?
I loves me some Apple TV.
I cancelled all my pay movie channels got me some NetFlix and will soon be getting rid of some more.
A La Carte anyone!?
It's coming and the demise of the Satellite, cable, and that new gimmick, Prism or whatever the heckfire will go the way of the do do.
Why apple tv is no replacement for google chromecast.....yet
Hello everyone,
Listen, is it the last 2 firmware updates for Apple TV2.
I have tested every version Of iTunes that supports the Home Sharing. Every version has failed! My 1st Apple TV2 had no problems @ all. All my problems started the day I bought my 2nd Apple TV2. The Day I setup the 2nd ATV2 it ran the update. The same day my 1st ATV2 updated to the same firmware and ever since nothing seems to work right, Netflix drops, Home Sharing drops. FYI - I have been troubleshooting every suggestion on the theres Forums. None! have Worked!!Apple you need to fix the ATV2 or start refunds peoples money
I have tried both Wireless and Hardwired with Cat6 running @ a full Gig. bandwith, never get over 3% bandwith utilization when both ATV2s are working. I ask Apple if I could down grade the firmware but nope you can't do that either. If Apple doesn't get this fixed then my ATV2s are going on ebay!!
There are hacks out there that might fix it?
Yeah I have a 3 and I heard the 2s were sketchy.
It's obvious this clown just doesn't have it set up right. I have both iPhone 5 and several Android top devices. I have 2 Chromecast gadgets and they work flawlessly. This site is getting more ridiculous daily. It seems this site is running out of content to discuss with their readers so they try to find a Google product that is inferior to the IOS product. Chromecast is fantastic, I can run just about anything on my Android phone on to my huge home TV's. YouTube, Netflex, mirror everything on my phone. Hulu is right around the corner and now the device has root. For the IOS uses I won't get into what this means but the sky is the limit. For $35.00 this is a no brainer. What I really enjoy is when I travel I take it with me and set it up in my hotel room.
Again, check the source link. This was cross-posted from Android Central. If the dudes doing something wrong, go tell him. And us.
What new iPhone?
Also...Android Central wrote about this. So, yeah, there's that too
how do you log into secure password protected hotel wifi that requires you log in on a browser with a chromecast?
My theory, as I have not taken my shiny new Chromecast to a hotel yet, that might get you at least an unsatisfying start at this.
1) connect your laptop to hotel wifi and go through whatever hoops are required to get Internet access.
2) Use Chromecast app on your Android phone (available free from the play store) to connect the Chromecast to the hotel wifi. Note this will connect it to the wifi, but for hotels that make you go through a browser and accept terms or enter a password, it won't get you to the Internet. If your hotel doesn't require this browser step, you are ready to go just like at home. If not...
4) Now you can use your laptop's chrome browser to send whatever you want to TV via the cast a tab function (Netflix worked well at home for me), but cannot use your phone. Chrome should work because it is grabbing from the Internet and passing it to your Chromecast. Other apps that tell the Chromecast to go get its own content from the web, such as netflix for Android, won't work, but Netflix for Chrome should work OK as it will cast from a Chrome tab at my house.
5) Keep hoping that Google adds cast a tab to Chrome for Android (and a way to reduce the processor workload so a phone can do it), so you can take the laptop out of this loop.
as usual, she came, she saw and she couldn't overcome the laws of economics. peace, crapple
