For me the biggest problem with GW2 was the way my champ moved, feeled like i had to force it in the direction i wanted him to go, did love the scenary and that gear is equal in PVP,
For pve, i do love the gear grind , never realy liked lvling in any game :) , i do need the "carrot" for pve , without it , just feels like im wasting time
Me and a friend tryed SWTOR when it came out , after around 3 hours i realised that we barly had talked durring the perriod, unstalled instantly.
Anyway, im alitle burned out on mmos atm, games i play now:
chivalry medieval warfare, just a awsome game
League of legends mostly ARAM and 5v5 Team ranked
Natural Selection 2, ( loong time since i have had so much fun in a game, realy recommend it)
Borderlands 2, awsome game
Ocr must die 2
I do logg in to wow from time to time , mostly to play the auction house, lvling my warrior very very slowly, but must say
i am realy positivly supprised for this expension.

What is "real"? How do you define "real"?

It's not batining when there are plenty of people on this site who have said over and over that GW2 sucks and/or it's totally lacking in features they want. They have made their opinions perfectly clear. So, the OP is specifically asking them (or anyone who feels the same way) what game(s) they think are better than GW2 and why. That's a perfectly legit question. It would be no different than someone asking GW2 "fanboys" what they like about GW2 so much and why they think it's a superior game.
I find it amusing that so many people have attacked the OP for baiting but won't say why they think games they like are better than GW2.

If you think the mods are being unfair because they didn't mod this but you think they would mod the opposite, try it and see what happens. Then you can be peeved all you want if your prediction is correct.

Wouldn't call myself hater as I've bought gw2, didn't really liked the pvp too much, leveling is fun, but I stopped playing it completely as I am more of PvP guy and game that I play is more fun for me. That game is Starcraft 2, to play it competetively is simply better than gw2, as sc2 is real esports game, starcraft has better community than any game period. And yeah game is hard and skillcap is non existant, watching what top players can do will leave you speechless atleast few times a tournament.

I'm about to go on a gaming hiatus. Just burned out right now. Was playing LOTRO heavily for the past couple of months. Also, checked out briefly Rift and DDO. (Both of which were pretty good.) During the last year I also tried TSW and SWTOR.
Going to take a month off and am thinking about trying out Fallout 3 when I decide to start playing again.
Now to answer your real question and get to the reason you made this this post.
I played GW2 during two of the BWE's and a stress test. I was really hoping this would be a great game. After the first BWE I was very pleased. During the second one, I barely played. During the last one, which I think was a stress test maybe, I played for about 5 minutes then cancelled my preorder.
I was strongly considering buying it after release because it was getting such great reviews I thought I must have been crazy. But in my research, I was really turned off by all of the reports of poor account security, botting, hacking, cheating, and poor graphics engine optimization. Also, I was beginning to read a lot of posts by people saying essentially what I felt, that there just isn't that much to this game. So I am now comfortable with my decision to pass on this title.
To me, it feels more like an Xbox game than a computer MMO. To my taste, every title I listed in this post is superior to GW2. But gaming is all about personal preference, MMO's are not one size fits all.
I'm glad you are enjoying GW2 so much, but you have to realize subjectively its not for everyone, and objectively, it just didn't turn out to be the next big thing and will probably settle right around these other titles as just another MMO.

Modern definition of "hater" is disliking something that person likes, or in this case, simply burning out on a game and running out of stuff to do makes you a hater. Not the correct definition but whatever.
Waiting for end game content for GW2 and I'll be back. For those that say, "GW2 isn't that kind of game though!" I'd rewatch the interview with the dev, where it's pretty clear they're working on more traditional end game content including a new dungeon and new gear sets. Sounds like a step in the right direction to me, but GW2 isn't going to be the powerhouse of the industry until it sees a major content update, we'll talk then.
As of right now I'm not playing any MMO really. Been beta testing a couple upcommers and messing with the Skyrim Hearthfire update that I hadn't played with yet.

Where is your god now?
I find GW2 fun but very shallow. The combat lacks any real depth as do the dungeons. Even PvP has a great many issues.
Honestly the game is the best casual mmo there is. But for someone looking for long term time investment and substance it just doesn't hold up.
You don't use content to keep players playing. You use designed systems to keep things fresh and exciting. Content merely amplifies these systems.
In my opinion GW2 is barely even an mmo. Just because it has wheels and a windshield doesn't make it a car. Barely any player interaction, no community, crap economy, etc. What they have in the game is incredibly top notch, however.

maybe I should amend my title. I am getting alot of responses by people that are admittedly not haters, but still don't play GW2. I definately DO NOT want to offend those people, and they've provided alot of quality replies.
Curiously, i've noticed two things so far in this thread.
1: There hasn't been a single occurance of a GW2 player calling someone else's game down. I was under the impression that the GW2 community was the worst out there, and couldn't stand anyone suggesting that other games might be preferred.
2: I've noticed that some people who have shared with us gems like "worst game ever!" and "absolute fail, Anet should close the doors permamently" are remaining particularly silent, or disputing my reasons to post. Please note, this does not imply that everyone who disputes my post, is going to suggest GW2 is "epic fail"
My extended thanks to those people that have chosen to share what games they prefer over GW2.
EDIT: I've changed the title because there are some people taking part that shouldn't be grouped in with "haters" For THOSE people, i will change my title. They deserve better.
All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.
I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.
I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.

In all honesty, guild wars 2 is a mess. The pvp is absolutely horrible, mind numbing boringness running around doing "different" things. Not only that but the pve? yeah exactly the pve? any sense of the word they desecrated and abolished it untill well original pve that the mmo'ers love, became some stupid, rediculous, rubbish pvpanised pve.
So exactly, there are WAY to many games to name that are better then guild wars 2, of the top of your head atleast.

I'm forever bemused by the extreme defensiveness common to many GW2 defenders, never have seen anything quite like it. Some defensiveness among fans of most anything is common, but just not anywhere near to the level seen from GW2 fans in these parts.
That aside, I've been an occasional critic of GW2, I suppose around here that makes me a 'hater' even though mostly my expectations were low to begin with and, to my surprise, not even those were met. Meh, I bought it anyway, silly friends talked me into it so we could play together and then they ended up bored and quiting before level 10. Whatever, maybe it'll eventually improve to the point where it's worth some attention rather than, to me, being something I log into occasionally and quickly get bored of -- who knows?
I'm currently subbed to WoW, though I haven't logged in for weeks and haven't spent more than an hour or two playing since around the time Cata dropped. I'm also at the start of one of my quarterly tries to see what it is in Eve that gets so many people hot and bothered. Might take this time but I've been doing a few months of Eve a few times a year for a few years in Eve and have yet to really get into it. Don't really know why I'm compelled to give it another try so often, but for some reason I am. Beyond that I've mostly been playing single player stuff, replaying old Sam and Max games on the PC, getting around to Uncharted 1/2 (honestly, having finished 1 and being halfway through 2 I can't for the life of me figure out why these games were rated so high) on the PS3, and playing Borderlands on the Xbox.
Might resub to Rift just to see what the expac brings, have to see.

I can't help thin, your post drips with vitriol but still, the gist of the post is good.
I've been playing Aion, LOTRO and Tera. And bit of Vanguard.
I actually like GW2 but I don't like how the events repeat ad nauseum.
Other than that I prefer longer leveling arcs and as I tend to like to wander and kill monsters I've found that I am usually in places (in gw2) much higher than I should be. Somehow I just don't "get" GW2 even though I understand what it's doing and why it's doing it.
I think, in the end, I just prefer games that are grind games. Also games that have pvp conquests that affect the greater populace (not counting lotro in that). One of the reasons I loved Lineage 2. Pride in ownership.
GW2 is a fine game but one that I will just visit from time to time.

Dont hate GW2 at all some of my best friends are lovin it , i tried it, and it doesnt grab , as i posted before ...Way to easy of a game .. Zero thot involved in Character progression , Gear is just handed to you, no feeling of accomplishment at all (and dont ohh lookie i jumped all the way up this Hill) ...That isnt an accomplishment they are mindless time sinks with little to no creativity...
Im playing AO , i like the constant challenges of Finding Gear ,Weapon Dock , and Implants ,and jugglin the 50+ attributes and Skills to squeeze into said equipment.. i enjoy the original enviromentr that funcom created (not the same same ole that we see in every AAA like GW2)
I enjoy being able to increase the difficulties (challenge myself)of missions or go somewhere to hunt i will likley die a horrible death..(not be scaled to every dam thng i come across..such a bad design)
I enjoy the combat where i have to think to survive .. not mindlessbuttonmashingfacerollinmacrobleccccccchhhh you get it..
I my distase is more for what GW2 is not the game itself .. what it represents as imo is everything glaringly wrong with the direction Devs are takin with what they call MMOs these days..
anyhow .... i digress .. got some missions to run .. need to get into some implants so can learn a new heal..

Even though you changed topic title in your posts you're still way too defensive.
Anyway I am a person that bought GW 2, stopped playing and not going to go back since I didn't liked the game. I will tell you what I do play now.
List of mmorpg's I play:
- nothing and there is very small chance that there will be any mmorpg for me in foresable future judging from industry trends.
Maybe ArcheAge if western publisher will offer some separate subscription only servers separate from freemium / f2p ones. No publisher did that kind of thing till today (well SOE with EQ2 did in past before they went full freemium but in half-assed manner) so my hopes are very small.
List of single and multiplayer games:
- The Witcher 2
- Warcraft 3 (yes that 10 year old game).
- Obvilion total conversion mod Nehrim
- Arcanum
- Battlefield 3 (rarely and vanilla version, I don't own any DLC's)
- Fallen Enchantress
- Panzer General
Above list mean game that I played at least once in last month. Obviously some of them I haven't played for some time. Like Panzer General I haven't played for ~2 weeks and I haven't played Battlefield for 3 weeks, but I consider playing them a bit soon again.
Have few more games lined up I don't buy because I would not have time to play. There are few releasing in next year I am interested. None of them are mmorpg's though.
Like I said gameplay and business model wise mmoprg industry don't want to deliver mmorpg that I would like.

One hundred years ago 100,000 wild tigers roamed throughout Asia,
now there could be as few as 3,200.
In the last 100 years Asia's wild tiger range has shrunk by 93%
and 40% of that happened in the past ten years.
The time to act is now!
Century Tiger channels money raised by the public, international zoo community and corporate supporters, to carefully chosen wild tiger conservation projects which provide the best conservation value and make the most difference.
Wild tigers are under threat of extinction across their whole range from habitat degradation and fragmentation, depletion of prey animals and poaching to supply a large illegal global trade in their body parts.
The projects we support focus on these major threats.
Please get involved. Only a global effort will save wild tigers!
100% of all donations received are given to these wild tiger conservation projects as our administration is funded separately.
Century Tiger is a unique conservation initiative between
Dreamworld Wildlife Foundation and Zoological Society of London
. We work closely with our sister organisation Amur Leopard and Tiger Alliance (ALTA) which funds Amur tiger and Amur leopard conservation in the Russian Far East.

I didn't expect to like this lipstick so much when I decided to get it. It's creamy and went on easily and evenly. I did put a lip balm (Maybelline Baby Lips peppermint) underneath, as I always do. However, the balm doesn't sheer it out by much. I just really love how creamy and comfortable this wears. It's probably my first favorite out of the Vivids line. I would purchase again!

Bottles 'n Brushes is going mobile with all of its classes, team building events, corporate events, birthday parties and other services.
Bottles 'n Brushes, a locally owned and operated small business, is expanding and taking its business mobile. Bottles 'n Brushes, known for its successful Sip 'n Paint adult classes, will now offer its unique services in the comfort of your home or place of business.
The BNB Brush Bus is a completely mobile art studio, stocked with all the art supplies necessary to facilitate off-site events. It provides customers and businesses the opportunity to host birthday parties, private parties, corporate and team building events and fundraisers outside of the studio. "Once you book the BNB Brush Bus, we will come to your home or place of business to create your very own art studio," says Julia Allen, owner of Bottles 'n Brushes. "Then one of our artists will teach you and your guests step-by-step how to create a masterpiece."
"Our new BNB Brush Bus gives our business the mobility necessary to spread art throughout the Lowcountry," says Allen. "School districts all over the state have experienced steep budget cuts in the past years and unfortunately art programs are usually the first things to suffer. We are excited to have partnered with schools across the Charleston area to offer them after school art classes."
Last year readers of Conde Nast Traveler Magazine voted Charleston the top tourist town in the United States. "With over 4 million visitors to the Charleston area annually, we hope to offer area hotels, convention centers and tourists the unique services of Bottles 'n Brushes," says Alysssa Maute, CEO of Bottles 'n Brushes. Team building classes give businesses and organizations the opportunity to work together while creating a unique masterpiece that is influenced by the Lowcountry.
To raise part of the capital to launch Bottles 'n Brushes' mobile business, they are utilizing a new crowdfunding website, FundingCharleston. For more information about the BNB Brush Bus or to view their project on FundingCharleston visit: http://projects.fundingcharleston.com/projects/bnb-brush-bus/.
Bottles 'n Brushes is an art studio where professional artists teach you how to paint step-by-step in a fun and social environment, while sipping on beer or wine (your bar or ours). No experience is necessary, just a love of art. In addition to adult classes, Bottles 'n Brushes hosts kiddo art classes, private parties and art camps. Bottles 'n Brushes offers art lovers of all ages the opportunity to create something unique, while learning to do so in a unique environment.

A perfect interview: What it meant to meet Linda JeffersonWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
It's not often you get to meet a hero.
When I found out a certain guest was coming to the Newsradio 1370 WSPD "Eye on Your Weekend" studio on May 16, I will admit to being as nervous as I have ever been in advance of a show. Panel member Irene Alby revealed that it was a possibility that Linda Jefferson — the legend of Toledo women's football, no, the legend of Toledo football, full stop — might appear on our show. Then, when word came that she would definitely be there, the knot in my stomach intensified.
I had no firsthand experience of Jefferson's incredible feats on the gridiron. When the Toledo Troopers of the National Women's Football League (NWFL) had the last of its seemingly impossible string of undefeated seasons in 1977, I had barely been born. But I had stories. My father told me of Jefferson and her team's exploits years later, spinning tales of how dominant and incredible Jefferson was on the gridiron.
It wasn't until a few years ago that I started looking up Jefferson's stats and story myself. I was astonished. However incredible my father's stories had made Jefferson's on-field career sound, the reality was even more remarkable. In her first season, she ran for over 1,300 yards and 32 touchdowns. She would always seem to find a hole, always finding a way to score. Over the next four years, she would average 14.4 yards per carry. That's impossible, right? No one could rack up such numbers.
Yet she did. She was the star of a team that would dominate the NWFL, racking up five — five! — undefeated seasons. In a row. Jefferson was the story of Toledo athletics in the 1970s. She was named the first "Woman Athlete of the Year" by WomenSports magazine in 1975. She was inducted into the Semi-Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2002 — the first African-American woman to receive that honor.
Reading these records, these accolades, made me determined to do an interview with her. I had to know the stories behind the numbers. I tried in 2010 to track her down for a Toledo Free Press interview, but ran into dead ends.
The failure disappointed me more than most any missed opportunity I've had in my time with the paper. When a cover story written by Chris Schmidbauer appeared in 2011, detailing her life, career and work at the Jefferson Center's Toledo Head Start program, I was as envious as it was possible to be.
And now, the opportunity was here. A movie is being made based upon the story of the Troopers and its heralded halfback, titled "Perfect Season." (Understating it, to be sure, seeing as how the team had five of them. In a row.) Directed by Toledo native Brett Leonard, creator of sci-fi films like "The Lawnmower Man" and "Virtuosity," and co-written by Guy Stout, the son of team coach Bill, the film will bring the largely forgotten tale of the Troopers to a whole new generation.
Leonard and Stout were also there that Friday morning to discuss the film. But the star — like always — was Jefferson herself. When I walked in and saw her there, it took more courage than I thought to introduce myself. As the show started, I was grateful that our opening segment was on Jam City — it took my mind off my nerves.
Then when the Jefferson segment began, all nerves flew away. She was as down-to-earth and humble as it is possible to imagine. Asked about her legacy on the field, she insisted repeatedly that it was a team effort — she couldn't have done it without her fellow Troopers. It was always about "us." Never her. And she was funny as hell, to boot.
When the segment was over, I finally confessed my passion for her story to Jefferson, telling her of my father's tales of her accomplishments. I admitted that I had tried to track her down for a story — contacting the Semi-Pro Hall of Fame, exhaustively searching on Google and elsewhere, even seeking out old newspaper clippings — with no luck.
Jefferson smiled at me and said, "Well, did you ever try looking in the phone book?"
That's No. 48. Always finding a way to score on you.

Highbinder praises Toledo in donated songWritten by Casey Harper | | email@example.com
Local band Highbinder donated its track "Frogtown Stomp" to Toledo Free Press' "Red, White & You" album with profits going to the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.
"Whenever anything happens, the Red Cross is there and the opportunity to be there for an organization that is always there for anybody else is great," said vocalist and guitarist Jon Kuhlman.
The four guys and one woman in Highbinder have been playing together since 2002. Andrew Clark sings and plays guitar, Ben Bomlitz is on drums, Adam Keeler plays bass and Megan Fitzpatrick Urich plays violin and keyboards.
"We have opened for some nationals over the years," Kuhlman said. "We opened up for Jackal to a packed house. In high school we went to see the bands, so to be on the other side of the barricade in front of a packed house was the most amazing thing I've ever seen."
Kuhlman said bands like Pearl Jam, The Who, Led Zeppelin and The Beatles influence them.
"They didn't stick to one sound," he said. "If they felt like doing a country song they did it. If they felt like doing a screaming rock song they did. Basically, whatever pops in our heads ends up coming out of our amplifiers."
Highbinder has performed larger shows as it has grown in popularity. It opened for Whitesnake despite a close call.
"Our bass player stepped out on the barricade and slipped and the barricade bouncer caught him and put him on his shoulders and paraded him around for the rest of the show," Kuhlman said. "Yeah, it was fun."
Kuhlman praised the Toledo music community and said Highbinder won't play in Detroit anymore because it is too "cutthroat."
"It's really not like that in Toledo," he said. "Whenever we book a show, we book the bands that we want to see; we want to hear their music. There is this stigma that if music is not on the radio it's not good but that is just not true. All the guys on the radio were playing in front of bars at one time."
The feeling of being onstage keeps the band coming back for more shows.
"It's kind of an adrenaline thing," Kuhlman said. "That moment before you get onstage and that adrenaline builds up and we kind of live for it. You get addicted to it."

Responding to new international realities, the national laboratories of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) are being harnessed in the effort to deliver the science and technology (S&T) required to protect homeland and national security interests worldwide. The challenge is to maximize the potential of DOE's S&T base by leveraging and exploiting its intellectual capital in critical national security, non-proliferation, and homeland protection projects and programs – all assigned DOE missions.
The DOE complex has established a state-of-the-art, large scale, secure S&T facility that provides the appropriate infrastructure and environment to both integrate and consolidate multi-disciplinary scientific capabilities for defense and homeland security activities. The Multiprogram Research Facility (MRF) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) became operational in 2007 and was renovated in 2011 to support additional classified computing. It provides facilities for research and development activities across a myriad of technology areas; this effort also supports projects of the Department of Energy 'Work for Others' program. Some characteristics of this 214,000 sq ft facility are:

I had my anatomy scan yesterday and it looks like we are having another healthy baby girl.
The doctor did say though that my placenta is anterior and is over my classical scar (vertical). The seperation looked nice and thick and they said that would keep an eye on it as I get closer to due date.
Does anyone have any experience with classical scars and anterior placenta, good or bad? Thanks!

Dwayne Brown has turned himself into law enforcement after being sought by South Carolina Highway Patrol and the Williamsburg County Sheriffs Office in connection to a shooting in Kingstree. Dwayne Brown, 32, of Myrtle Beach has been charged with various crimes that include attempted murder, unlawful carry of a firearm, possession of a weapon by an unlawful person (felon), DUI 2nd, DUI 1st and resisting arrest with deadly violence.
According to a Williamsburg County Sheriffs Incident Report, around 2 a.m. on Saturday morning, a South Carolina Highway Patrol trooper had initiated a traffic stop on a 1996 Toyota Camry at a business on Thorne Avenue in Kingstree. While conducting the traffic stop the trooper requested the driver to exit the vehicle.
The report states when the trooper attempted to place the driver under arrest an altercation ensued between the two men. The driver, later identified as Dwayne Brown, presented a firearm and discharged one round towards the trooper. Brown then fled the scene on foot.
A SC identification card, along with a small caliber handgun, t-shirt, and cigarette lighter were found in the vicinity of the assault.

Key facts
Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii), Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus)
Sumatra (Indonesia), Borneo (Malaysia and Indonesia)
Endangered to Critically Endangered
Victims of logging and fire
Each of the two orangutan species is found only on the island from which it derives its name: Sumatra or Borneo. With numbers having fallen drastically over the past century and human pressures increasing, orangutans may be lost from the wild forever within a few decades.
Physical descriptionThe orangutan is the world's largest tree-climbing mammal. The animals have a characteristic ape-like shape, shaggy reddish fur and grasping hands and feet. Their long arms that can reach as much as 2 meters in length. Orangutans's legs are relatively short and weak, but their hands and arms are powerful.
There are 2 different types of adult male orangutan: "flanged" & "unflanged". Flanged males have a long coat of dark hair on their back, a facial disk, flanges and a throat sac used for "long calls". The unflanged male looks like an adult female. Both reproduce and an unflanged male can change to a flanged male for reasons that are not yet fully understood. Orangutans are the only primate in which this biological phenomenon occurs.
Size: 1.25-1.5m in length; females weigh 30-50kg, males weigh 50-90kg
Colour: Reddish brown
The 'man of the forest'Orangutans live in primary and secondary forests. Although they can occur up to 1,500 meters above sea level, most are found in lowland areas and prefer forests in river valleys or floodplains.
Orangutans travel about by moving from one tree to another, and usually avoid climbing down to the ground - although there are differences between the two species. When on the ground, they move on "all fours", with clenched fists placed on the ground.
Orangutans make a nest of vegetation to sleep in at night, and rest in smaller nets during the day to rest.
Social structure
Adult orangutans are generally solitary, although temporary aggregations are occasionally formed. The large home ranges of males overlap with the ranges of several adult females. Adult males are generally hostile to one another, although they do not display territoriality.
Life cycle
Orangutans usually give birth to a single young, or occasionally twins.
After weaning at about 3.5 years of age, young individuals become gradually independent of their mother after she gives birth to a second young.
Orangutan females first reproduce at around 10-15 years of age, depending on the species/subspecies. Females give birth probably not more than once every 5 years, and the interbirth interval can be as long as 10 years.
The long time taken to reach sexual maturity, the long interbirth periods, and the fact that orangutans normally give birth to just a single young mean that orangutans have an extremely low reproductive rate. This makes orangutan populations highly vulnerable to excessive mortality, and means that populations take a long time to recover from population declines.
About 60% of the orangutan's diet includes fruit (e.g. durians, jackfruit, lychees, mangosteens, mangoes and figs), while the rest comprises of young leaves and shoots, insects, soil, tree bark, woody lianas, and occasionally eggs and small vertebrates. They obtain water not only from fruit, but also from tree holes.
Population & distributionPrevious population & distribution
Pleistocene fossil records in southern China, northern Vietnam, Lao PDR, and Java indicate that the genus once had a wide distribution in Southeast Asia.
Orangutans are now only found on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra, with populations on each island belonging to separate species. A century ago there were probably more than 230,000 orangutans worldwide.
Current population & distribution
Both orangutan species have experienced sharp population declines over the past few decades.
Their dense forest homes make it difficult to precisely determine population sizes, however the Bornean orangutan is estimated to number about 41,000 individuals, while the Sumatran orangutan is estimated to number about 7,500 individuals.
What are the main threats?Habitat loss
Habitat destruction and fragmentation is by far the greatest threat to orangutans.
Huge tracts of forest have been cleared throughout the their range, through legal and illegal logging and forest conversion for oil palm plantations and other agriculture. Fires related to these activities also pose a serious threat to both orangutans and their habitat.
Today, more than 50% of orangutans are found outside of protected areas, in forests under management by timber, palm oil and mining companies.
Hunting & illegal trade
Orangutans are an easy target for hunters, being large and slow targets.
The animals are killed for food in some areas, or in retaliation when they move into agricultural areas and destroy crops. This occurs more in times of environmental stress when orangutans can't find the food they need in the forest.
Females in particular are most often hunted. When caught with offspring, the young are often kept as pets.
This pet trade is a major problem. It is thought that for each orangutan reaching Taiwan (China) as many as 3-5 additional animals die in the process. Recent enforcement of the law in Taiwan has reduced the importation of orangutans, but the trade remains a threat in Indonesia where there is still demand for orangutans as pets.
There is also trade in orangutan skulls in Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo).
What is WWF doing?WWF has been working on orangutan conservation since the 1970s, in partnership with both international and local groups including research institutions, universities, government institutions and local communities. This work is guided by a specific Species Action Plan for orangutans, and includes:
- Conserving orangutan habitat: We are working in both Borneo and Sumatra to secure well-managed protected areas and wider forest landscapes connected by corridors.
- Promoting sustainable forestry and agriculture: Our work on sustainable production of commodities – including forest products and palm oil – also contributes towards the protection and conservation of major orangutan habitats on the islands, as well as to mitigating human-orangutan conflict.
- Halting the pet trade. We work with TRAFFIC (the wildlife trade monitoring network) to help governments enforce restrictions on the trade in live animals and orangutan products. We also help to rescue orangutans from traders. Many are taken to refuges where they can recover and be rehabilitated, and are eventually released back into the wild.

Boehner: No minimum wage hike
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Wednesday he is opposed to raising the minimum wage right now.
President Barack Obama discussed the minimum wage at his State of the Union Tuesday night, urging Congress to hike it to $9 an hour and "tie the minimum wage to the cost of living, so that it finally becomes a wage you can live on."
(WATCH: Obama proposes minimum wage increase in SOTU)
"Listen, when people are asking the question 'Where are the jobs?' why would we want to make it harder for small employers to hire people? I've got 11 brothers and sisters on every rung of the economic ladder. I know about this issue as much as anybody in this town," the speaker told reporters on Wednesday morning.
Instead, Boehner said, the focus should be on policies to get people to enter the workforce.
"What happens when you take the rungs away on the economic ladder, you make it harder for people to get on the ladder," Boehner said. "Our goal is to get people on the ladder and help them climb that ladder so they can live the American dream."

From my first twenty four hours on campus which included me tearing my ACL, to the most recent twenty four hours on campus, finalizing into a decision of not playing football anymore; there has been many life changing decisions and events that really has shaped me into being the person I am today. I was proud of my high school years, because I felt that that had really shaped me into the person that I was coming into college. Many can tell you that I made much improvement from the transfer of middle school to high school and from high school to college. But I feel it is more worthwhile when you feel this change in yourself.
I was well in love with the person I was coming from high school. Now in college, I am out on my own and all of my decisions are in the hands of me. With this, I know that the decisions I make not only affect me, but my future, my college career, and my family. We all face severe trials and tribulations, but I never knew how hard it would be without family to fall back on. But I've made decisions for the better that isn't what I'm proud of, but it was for the better. This includes not playing football, reevaluating friends for the better, learning from mistakes, moving on from a romantic break-up, and overcoming negative peer-pressure.
Throughout my experiences, Baldwin Wallace University has molded me into well balanced young man. It really means a lot when there are others who realize this also. I was given the opportunity to attend a summer camp at Clemson University this summer, I received the honor to eat with presidential candidates, I am a student tour guide, etc. I am happy of the person BW has helped me become, and know that this is places that will always, and continue to have a positive impact on me. Will you allow it to do the same?

I was reading about this technique today and was curious whether anyone has any experience with it, or knows somebody that has?
As we know the mind is a powerful tool, and I do believe hypnosis works for those who are susceptible to it. I guess if people can be encouraged to quit smoking, confront their fears, and even have surgery without anaesthesia while under hypnosis then some people really could be tricked into believing they have a band around their stomach that tightens when they eat. I have a debate soon that I need to participate in regarding obesity and weight loss surgery and I can't decide whether to mention this technique as a possible alternative therapy.
Paul McKenna has a book/dvd/cd that claims to perform this technique on people...I'm contemplating trying it. What better way to see if it works, right? :wink2:

Whether you know it or not, Electro-Harmonix is responsible for the sounds on some of the most popular records of all time. Founded in 1968 by Mike Matthews in New York City, EHX has grown to become a name that is almost synonymous with rock music; and there's little wonder as to why. With their top notch line of effects pedals, Electro-Harmonix is the name that musicians trust.
Since the mid-1970's, Electro-Harmonix has been pioneering the shape and sound of guitar effects pedals. They were the first company to produce a stompbox that was powerful enough to make a difference in sound and tone, while being affordable enough to find its way into the hands of professionals and amateurs alike. Ask any veteran guitar player about the Electric Mistress, the Memory Man, or Hot Tubes, and they're sure to tell you about all sorts of fond memories from gigs gone by.
The company is probably most famous for their Big Muff Pi pedal. If you don't know the name, you can trust that you know the sound. The Big Muff Pi is all over some of rock and roll's most well-known songs and a staple in the effects rack of legions of guitarist (and bassists). David Gilmour, Pete Townshend, The Edge, Ace Frehley, Billy Corgan, Kurt Cobain, Jack White, the list is not only a who's who of popular music, it's a who's who of Big Muff Pi devotees.
Of course, Electro-Harmonix features a wide assortment of other effects pedals. From flangers to chorus pedals, compressors to delays, if there is a sound you are looking for, the odds are you can achieve it with one of their pedals. From slight tweaks, to full on overhauls of your sound as you explode into your next athematic chorus or solo, an EHX pedal will quickly become the go to effects box in your pedalboard.
Never ones to rest on their laurels, EHX continue to lead the way in the world of loud, exciting and musician focused effects pedals. Whether you're a legend, or just a guitar hero in training, Electro-Harmonix is the name to trust when it comes to revitalizing your sound.

Flying back from the SES conference in San Francisco and logged in on the Internet and justed finished reading a Times Magazine Article baring the same name as this post and it got me wodering about how it has really impact me. Around the world it looks like most are happy with it helping them being in contact with friends and familly. In the USA 29% said that theur wireless device is always the first and last thing they look at. I guess I fall under that category, but I am also really happy that it helps me be in contact with my familly when I am travelling. One thing that struck me when reading the data was that 79% of the Chinese are mostly happy that they get the latest news, are they not in contact with their familly? Must be. The Koreans gently reminded me the it might be good to shut it down once in a while and observe the world (48%). Enjoy life and remember to breath.

Inspection Questions and Answers
What are the goals of the program?
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) has two major goals for the Federal Pesticide Recordkeeping Program - to provide the private certified pesticide applicator with educational tools to assist them in maintaining the necessary restricted use pesticide (RUP) records and to provide assistance during a recordkeeping inspection to ensure the applicator's compliance with the regulation.
Why are pesticide record inspections conducted?
AMS has agreements with Federal, State, tribal, and U.S. territory agencies to monitor certified private applicators' to maintain RUP records through record inspections.
How does the inspection process work?
First, the inspector will present credentials at the beginning of an on-site record inspection. Then, the inspector will provide you with information on the recordkeeping requirements, review your RUP application records, and provide compliance assistance. Lastly, the inspector will complete an inspection sheet on your records and provide you with a copy. A specified number of selected private applicators will be visited in your State to determine the level of compliance with the regulation.
How did the requirements originate?
The 1990 Farm Bill mandated the Secretary of Agriculture to require certified private applicators to maintain records regarding the use of federally restricted use pesticides. The Agricultural Marketing Service has been designated to administer the Federal Pesticide Recordkeeping Program.
How do keeping pesticide records benefit me?
Keeping pesticide application records is a good business practice and has numerous benefits! Here are just a few examples:
Saves money: Accurate pesticide records will enable you to know and buy the correct amount of pesticides for each growing season.
Tracks success: Good records will help you determine if a pesticide application achieved the best results or why a pesticide may have performed poorly. Good records prevent future failures.
Documents correct use: Should a question arise concerning pesticide use, your records may provide liability protection.
Improves management decisions: Since some pesticide have restrictions on what can be planted the following year in the same field, good records can help you plan your crop rotations.
How are applicators selected for pesticide record inspections?
Private applicators are randomly selected to be inspected. Random selections are made from a State's certified private applicator list or the RUP sales list of pesticide dealers. Your name or certification number will not appear on the inspection sheet and the results of your specific inspection will remain confidential.
Who can review records?
The designated State, Federal, or tribal agency personnel may have access to inspect your records.
Certified/licensed health care professionals, or those acting under their direction, may have access to your record information when treating an individual who may have been exposed to restricted use pesticides. In the case of a medical emergency, record information must be made available immediately.
How is restricted use pesticide data collected?
RUP application record inspections are not related to the voluntary pesticide use surveys conducted by USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service. NASS will obtain pesticide use data from agricultural producers through voluntary surveys. NASS reports the national data on restricted use pesticides to Congress annually.
Are there any penalties for violations?
Yes. Any private certified applicator who fails to comply with the regulations shall be subject to a civil penalty of not more than $750 in the case of the first offense, and shall be subject to a civil penalty of not less than $1,100 for each violation for subsequent offenses. However, a civil penalty may be less than $1,100 if the AMS Administrator determines that the certified applicator made a good-faith effort to comply.

I actually made this cowl back at the beginnin of February. Or the end of January. I really can't remember, but sometime around then.
I used the basic pattern from Last Minute Knitted Gifts, using Classic Elite, Charmed. The softest coziest yarn ever. I did a gauge for the yarn, and came up with the number of stitches to make it the same measurements as the one in the book. 20 X 13. So, I got 4 stitches to the inch, therefore, I cast on 80 stitches. (4 x 20) See, you can use any yarn you have at home just sitting around looking pretty. And looking like it should become another cowl.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first of two articles covering the Sustainable Williamson open house conducted Thursday, Nov. 8.)
WILLIAMSON — A public open house for Sustainable Williamson was conducted Thursday evening, featuring presentations from local business owners and general discussions on how to better the area and its surroundings.
More than 30 people attended the event held at the Williamson Municipal Swimming Pool and Community Center, all with the common goal of coming up with ways to sustain and improve the City of Williamson.
The open house led off with a series of presentations from business owners and group organizers from around the area, such as Vicki Hatfield, with the Mingo County Diabetes Coalition; Josh Murphy, with the STOP (Strong Through Our Plan) Coalition; Adam Warren, owner of Hatfield-McCoy Guided Tours; and Helen Ann Stanley, with the Farmers Market, to name a few.
A trio of men from the Renaissance Planning Group coordinated the event: Allan Steinbeck, Mike Callahan and Jason Espie, along with Ed Fendley, with the Environmental Protection Agency. It was their job to interface with the community and enable citizens to brainstorm and develop their ideas. According to virtually everyone, it was a success.
"It was a good turnout with a mix of business owners, out-of-towners, civic leaders and elected officials coming together," Steinbeck, the lead facilitator at the open house, told the Daily News. "We're trying to figure out how to not just come up with plans, but with strategies for improving the community. The ultimate goal is to get funds to get stuff done."
The fruits of their labor were adorned on posters lining the walls of the community center, detailing the city's strengths and weaknesses, a product from a workshop session held earlier in the day. Members from the community were divided into three groups who all came up with their own ideas on what the city's strengths and weaknesses were, what areas could be improved upon and what assets the city had.
Such strengths included: tourism and culture potential; a core group of people with a vision; the public service infrastructure; and recreation potential. Some weaknesses were: diversifying the economy; poor health; lack of quality housing; and lack of tourism and recreation plans.
Mayor Darrin McCormick told the Daily News that more than 30 community members attended the earlier workshop sessions where they were "actively engaged in improving their community."
One section of the room in particular showed three maps of Williamson, each peppered with green stickers, which denoted areas that could benefit from improvement, and gold stars, which represented assets within the city.
Such potential improvement areas were: West end revitalization, adding new homes and a grocery store; filling vacant storefronts downtown; fixing up housing; a welcome mural on the water tower; a mural on the Route 52 wall; potential development for the airport; a connection between West End and downtown; and pedestrian crossings at railroad tracks.
Some assets that members from the community listed were: Williamson Memorial Hospital; recreation complex; Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College; U.S. 119; water treatment plant; the Williamson Field House; the community garden in East End; the Coal House; Riverside Elementary; and the Williamson Municipal Pool, among others.
"People here are very enthusiastic about their community," Steinbeck said. "It's nice to see that. It's a tightly-knit group mostly all on the same page on how to address pressing needs within the community."
"This is a strategic community plan made by the community," McCormick said. "This process is how it should be done. It was a great success. A lot of progress was made."

Step 1: Breast basics
+each breast is 90% water, can weigh 200/800 gms, sits on the chest wall between the 2nd and 6th rib,
+statistically, left breasts are often slightly larger than right ones, (up to 2 cup sizes!) though i encourage anyone to challenge this by submitting your own research on the topic.
+breasts have no internal support structure and rely almost totally on skin tension for their shape. this is where the bra comes in.
Step 2: Making your pattern
as with many things, the best way to learn is by taking a good bra apart. (its also possible just to reproduce the measurements of your current favorite bra . be exact; its deceptively easy shave off a few millimeters here and there and come out with a very odd looking bosom.)
Step 3: The underband
the underband of your bra is critical for fit, support and comfort; it cantilevers the weight of the breast into the lower back, making a secure platform for the weight of the breast.
(keep in mind the length of the bra underband is smaller than the natural rib cage measurement of the wearer-- a common underband length for a 34 band bra is 24.5". The formula fit for a 34 band size has a 29/30 rib cage measurement-- therefore the underband has to stretch from 24.5"-29" when worn.
Step 4: Underwire
Here is the page for the free bra pattern! It is on the Burda site...and you might have to read in the comments to figure out which pattern size you will need!
I wear a 34GG and I had to get pattern #5. I will have to alter it a bit down from the 36....but is pretty darn close!
I am excited to give it a try soon!
I will probably start some personal sewing after my daughter gets back to school from holiday.
Hope you all post great pics!
