I understand the differing view points concerning cash shops and see the merits of both sides, however, let me say this:
Did the classic MMORPG's have cash shops, such as UO, DAoC, and EQ? They didn't, so you knew that all of your subscription money was going towards the creation of new content.
When there's a subscription plus a cash shop, I feel that some of my sub money is spent on creating items for that shop that should be included with my sub fee, like in other games.
Part of playing MMORPG's, IMHO, is the acquiring of assets and the more rare the assets and the harder they are to get, the more proud you are of your achievements. Allow people to obtain them in a CS, and it greatly diminishes the satisfaction of obtaining those things.
I guess a close example I could give in real life terms is the obtaining of a college degree. How much value would you hold your accreditted degree that you spent 4 years earning if there was a way for anyone with enough money to obtain the same accreditted degree with the swipe of a credit card? Sure, you'll still have the experience of going to college to look fondly on in later years and will have that extra gain in knowledge, but you can't deny that your satisfaction in earning that degree wouldn't be diminished by those who bought their degree.

I don't know how many times it has to be said, but Rift launched with one of the smallest worlds in MMO history -- even down to having only two "cities" that in reality are little more than one building each -- one raid and a half dozen dungeons that were had to do double duty as leveling and engame, thus people were sick of them before they ever saw T2.
Trion launched with a game that couldn't come close to matching WoW Vanilla, let alone where WoW is now, and despite all of the patches the game still is very content light compared to the competition.
They launched with half a game, patching in the second half over a period that saw them hemorage subs because people quickly got bored (some of the most generic and unmemerable lore in gaming history doesn't help, either) isn't nearly as impressive a feat as people make it out to be.
Having launched with a full game and then patching in a ton more content, now that might have been worthy of praise. But as it really was? Not so much.

I beleive that it all stems from GW2's Cash Shop. Fans just don't want to admit that Cash Shops are bad anymore. "Now it's time to embrace them". Well, I disagree. Sure GW2's Cash Shop is not P2W. ANET has stayed true to their word about selling unfair advantage and that's very commendable. But I don't think GW2's Cash Shop was ever about selling items. They were in it for the gem/Gold conversions. And just look at what that has done to the game's economy. GW2 has one of the worst MMO economies I've ever seen in any MMO much less a AAA title. To Me GW2 is another shining example of how Cash Shops ruin MMOs. Not to mention one of the worst botting problems in a AAA MMO I've ever seen. And I also think that is related to gem/gold selling. It's my personal opinion, but I still contend that any MMO with an item store is vastly diminished by it.

I'd have to say that WoW is an original game. Pre-WoW, I knew of DAoC, EQ, UO, SWG, and Shadowbane. I know there were more, but I don't need more to make my point.
All of those games were pretty different from each other, much the same way WoW was pretty different than all of those games. Before WoW, there weren't quest hubs and quest hub grinding. You went out into the world, formed a group, and grinding mobs for hours to level up. I also don't remember there being any instanced dungeons spread out across the entire level range before WoW. I know DAoC introduced instances with Catacombs after WoW released, but they weren't WoW-like dungeons.
What else?
1. Flight paths, mounts, and flying mounts. In DAoC, we road a horse for 20 min to get somewhere. There wasn't any flying at all until after WoW released. Hell, they didn't even add mounts until after WoW released.
I'm not saying WoW is a great game or better than the classics, but I think WoW deserves to be considered as an original game. THE orignal themepark IMHO (downfall of the genre if you ask me...). WoW filled a niche that wasn't already being filled. It catered to those who liked doing quests and soloing the majority of the time.
UO filled the FFA PvP sandbox fantasy niche.
EQ filled the PvE and Raider niche.
DAoC filled the RvR niche for those who didn't like FFA PvP.
SWG filled the sci-fi sandbox niche with limited PvP.
Every MMO was different enough than all MMO's prior to it fill a niche. When WoW came out, it was different enough than all other MMO's to form its own niche. Unfortunately, WoW's niche was so big it became mainstream and halted all forward progress the classic MMORPG's were heading towards (virtual worlds with more and more features as the years went buy).

True. And I admit thye need to make money. Overall, I can accept it from GW2 for this reason. But I'm not a fan of B2P. The models is walking a balance beam and could fall into F2P with one slip. It also doesn't change the fact that GW2's economy is borked. I'll still hold my opinion that the pure Sub model is still the best. And that Sub models that adopt a Cash Shop are the worst. Which I admit is a dying breed and thus, so is the TRUE MMORPG.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results.
I just read that article and shook my head. I will try to be as nice as possible.
Somebody is in la la land on this article. Rift better than wow, yea right.
I tried rift in beta, I got one toon to level 8 before quiting beta, I was given the game as a gift, I went back and tried again, no mass got to level 7 and quit. I was given a fee 30days time via raptor as a reward. I got to level 5 on the new character before I yet again gave up.
If I wanted wow and or war-hammer I would be playing those games. Rift is a joke, we had several folks leave eq2 to go play rift, and well they all came back to guild save two of them and those 2 went to league of legends.
Just going to shake my head and walk away from this article and laugh.

Why is it said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions? Is there a shortage of bad ones?
Rift has its weak points,
Character Customization,
Less than Dynamic- Dynamic events
and then:
WoW has had it fair share of weak points,
Catering to the Gimmee Generation and dumbing the game down,
Poor character customization as game continues,
Still running on WC3 engine
Poor Management decisions (selling to Activision, Giving control to CEO/COO's that have no interest in gaming only profit.) oh and screw Kotick.. but thats another story...
In a nut shell WoW was built off the Warcraft Franchise with assistance from Diablo 2 and Starcraft. Battlenet was a boon for Blizzard and they milked it. Few remember the early days and fewer still want to remember how it all got srewed by bad developer and management decisions.
Blizzard has pretty much been the single most powerful driving force in the last decade to influence millions of players. They could have done the right thing and maintained WoW as a stable hard hitting, challenging MMO that ruled the MMO industry solidly for 4 years.
Instead they Dumbed down the game to cater to the kids of the gimmee generation and what Player now have is a game that is a pale shadow of what it once was. Cookie Cutter characters, quests that have been so blateny taken from prior expansions and lack of real content is whats handed to us now. MoP was a waste if you were looking for a sweet xpac for content.. now if you are one of the Gimmee Generation and all you care about is what you can get for freee with no effort then the cross account mounts and achieves should be good for ya.
WoW was lost at Wrath, Rifts hasnt done alot for me, so in the end I will continue to wait and when CoS is in Beta I will pray it is the one that brings the world of MMOs back to the way it should be, a fight for survival in a world that doesnt want you.
Played: UO, LotR, WoW, SWG, DDO, AoC, EVE, Warhammer, TF2, EQ2, SWTOR, TSW, CSS, KF, L4D, AoW, WoT
Playing: The Secret World until Citadel of Sorcery goes into Alpha testing.
Tired of: Linear quest games, dailies, and dumbed down games

Why bother reading the article if you so dislike the game? Sorry you don't like the game, but that doesn't make it the joke, it makes you the joke. Rift is a good game. WOW is a good game, or at least was at one time. Hell, Aion is a decent game. You want to hate on something you didn't play long enough to figure out what it was all about, that's fine, but to talk about the game later from ignorance is the wrong thing to do. Play it to max level, or don't talk about it.

Played WoW for four years and it was a great game. (could still be for new mmo players). That being said, Trion is doing a great job. I beleive the continuios nerfing of WoW (stupid things like changing the hunter mechanics and talent tree removal, etc) coupled with Trions dedication to giving the players what they want will slowly drive a change towards Rift. Just about the only thing WoW has going for it, is it's length of time people have been playing it.
After fours years of WoW, I have many friends that play. Most dont want to change to any other game because they have friends that play or because they have to much invested (these are the reasons I'm given). I have gottom many to come to Rift and I'd say about half decide to stay. The other half ends up going back either because they have more friends on WoW or because they are not use to getting their butts handed to them via NPCs (they are use to face rolling to win...lol) You know, place face on keyboard and win.
imo ;o)

Sounds like the powers to be at the rift are getting it, allot players want more than just playing through the game, I know I like my toon to feel like it lives in the world not just passing through which is a huge problem, the pure Theme park games, you can ride the ferris wheel only so many times before it gets boring. Kepp up the good work Trion, I hope other games will pick up on this, and we get some new game play across a genre that has pretty much gone stale..:)

All true, but WOW is 8 years old and Rift much less. So what you like about WOW stems from longevity. It's not a fair comparison. While I have 9 lvl 85 WOW toons, and a 90, here's why I dislike WOW and won't ever have a second 90.
Carebear. Leveled the 85 to 90 without one death. MOBs are so spread out it is difficult to agro more than one at a time.
Limited dungeon access. During the 85 to 90 run I only had a few new dungeons to run, a few more becoming available as I leveled. Forget about lvl 1 to 85 dungeons, if you've leveled a toon lately you'll have noticed that there are few players leveling anymore. It not like a few years ago.
Scenarios. Useless for leveling as they are only available at lvl 90.
Endgame. Nothing new. Dailys that are overrun by players, same few dungeons to run through until you can do them blindfolded. Anyone actually raid? Other than the dedicated 2%?
Characters. Same old, antiquated facial designs, women with man's backs and linebacker legs, and usually no eyeballs.
Character animation. Virtually non-existant. My mage throws her arms out, balls of light form, then fly out. For pretty much every spell she does. Lame.
Riding animation. Looks like doll glued to a small dog.
Character quirks, spontaneous actions. Virtually non-existant.
Gear. Boring fuzzy skins with no depth. Cartoonish weapons.
Graphics. Fuzzy, bland, 1960's cartoon style. Only good thing Bliz has done graphically is footprints and water effects.
NPC talk. If I hear "take it easy" one more time I'm going to scream!
Bland questing.
Lost vision. The alliance prince is being escorted around Pandaria by a Horde? WTH?
What has WOW done well?
Voice acting. Best I've heard so far in games.
Relaxing dungeons with no instant death tactics.
An Auction House in which stuff actually sells.
Success in creating hate between Alliance and Horde, at least until Pandaria showed up.
Good music.
Supposedly good lore, but I'm not into that so I'll take people's word on that.
What has Rift done poorly. Voice acting. Worst I've heard so far.
Poor ratio of harvesting to crafting needs. Hard to sell anything because it's so easy to harvest what you need.
No sucess in creating animosity between factions.
Limited character customization, limited character designs. Far better than WOW, but not even close to Aion.
Poor jumping animation.
Limited character spontaneous animation. Better than WOW, but no where close to Aion.
Poor battleground management, pitting David versus Goliath in terms of gear levels.

Would be nice if Trion hired some ace coders. But no, they just keep adding crap to the game engine without checking if anyone can run it above 30 fps in crowded areas.

AS much as I like Rift, this is one of my top 3 complaints.
Along with the lazy PVP "fix" they copied when WoW introduced Resilience after raiders started dominating BGs late in Vanilla.
And the Crown Jewl of Rift. The Soul System. Still boils down to Cookie cutter specs at level cap.
That said, It's still my favorite MMO released Post TBC.

Rift from now on shall be known as the first mmo. Or the only mmo. For the rest of you here, have fun you experienced mmo gamers who have only ever played wow and think dumbed down classes and bears is the evolution of online gaming. And PLEASE dont stop watching MTV.

A very interesting post with some interesting comments.
Not everyone is going to like Rift, but I personally feel it is a better game than WoW. Both games are similar, yet I personally believe that Rift has made several improvements to features in WoW. I think that in its time WoW was a fantastic game, but to me it's starting to look old now. The graphics for example are too dated and although that shouldn't be a big issue, it kind of is to me.
I played WoW for 2 years during WOTLK and at the time I found it to be amazing. Having since given Rift a large amount of time and trying WoW again, it feels too dated. I feel there are still many things in WoW which are done better than Rift, pvp is one thing. However having given both games a large amount of time I feel Rift is better.
That is one thing I also feel is unfair about some previous comments. If you've given both games a fair try then I fully accept your comments, but if you haven't, you're being biased to the game you support without giving the other a fair go.
The other thing is that the majority of Rift players have played WoW at some point. It also seems that for the most part those people prefer Rift to WoW. I wonder what would happen if every WoW player in the world were to give Rift a fair chance. I would imagine that Rifts community would grow considerably larger.

You may have noticed her license plate around town, and thought she was a musician. But East Cooper resident, Jeanie Heath, is a native Sullivans Islander, often known as a Fiddler after the fiddler crabs abundant on the island.
People who grew up on the island during her era were know as Fiddlers, and this Fiddler has a story to tell. In her new book. The Fiddlers of Sullivan Island, Jeanie Truesdale Heath, explores the fascinating creatures set amongst the memories of her childhood and the Sullivans Island of the 1940s and 1950s.
Scurry the story teller shares not only factual information about his world, offering an education for all those unfamiliar with it; but he also jogs the emotional memory buttons of those who lived during this time. Those who grew up around pluff mud know you are forever bound to it.
Heath is no different. Her mother managed the lunchroom at Sullivans Island Elementary School and her father was a bridge tender on the Ben Sawyer Bbidge. She and her siblings knew the fiddler crabs and their culture well. Trying to tell these stories in her memoirs is where Scurry took hold.
With a lot of trial and error, frustration and determination. Heath completed her goal. With the assistance of Office Express in Mount Pleasant, the beautifully illustrated book is now off the presses and selling throughout the community, at Royall Ace Hardware Ben Sawyer Boulevard and Highway 17, Pitt Street Pharmacy, Southern Accent, the gift shop at the park under the Arthur Ravenel Bridge, Boone Hall Farmers Market, Haddrells, My Favorite Thngs on the Isle of Palms, Cafe Medley on Sullivans Island.
It will be in Barnes and Noble soon. It is also available on Amazon and Kindle. John Albrecht, who grew up on the Isle of Palms, captured the unique look of the fiddler crab with his illustration on its cover.
I love the delight of the children who are reading my book, explains Heath, but I am truly amazed at the number of adults who are enjoying it just as much. Heath is making an effort to reach out to those in the community through local book signings and speaking engagements. Im having a ball talking with people I havent seen in years, reminiscing about days gone by, and sharing more stories about our wonderful Lowcountry.
After Heath married Alee Heath and moved to Mount Pleasant, they owned Heath Farms Produce Market and Bakery. She also worked for Kinder Care Learning Centers and retired as district manager for Charleston and Savannah. She has two daughters and five grandchildren.

The Antlers Lions Club would like to thank all those that participated in this year's Trash-Off Day held Saturday, April 16, 2011! Several pickup loads of trash were removed from the roads entering the city of Antlers as well as around community areas such as the fairgrounds, football and softball fields, Little People's Park, the library, the Depot, and more! Forty-two volunteers participated this year, more than any of the previous years!
The Antlers Garden Club showed support again this year by working on the flower garden at the Highway 271 North and Highway 3 intersection and by cleaning roadsides. Other participating groups include Cub Scout Pack #396, the Passport Mentoring Program, the First United Methodist Church Youth Group, and the Choctaw Nation Youth Advisory Board. There were even a few individuals, not with a group, that participated because of their personal desire to help keep Antlers beautiful! Our hats are off to all of you!
After the work was over, we were treated to pizza and refreshments provided by Representative RC Pruett and Pruett's Deli. Thank you Deli Staff and Representative Pruett! Our thanks also go out to the Pushmataha County Hospital for providing latex gloves, ODOT for trash bags and safety vests, and Southern Disposal, Inc. for taking the trash free of charge!
Regardless of how the trash gets there, nobody likes to see it and we can all do something about it. Keep a small trash bag in your vehicle and lightweight cans, papers, and bags out of truck beds. Remember, it doesn't have to be Trash-Off Day to keep your section of the street clean!
The Lions Club meets on Monday nights at 6:30 pm at Ables Western BBQ in the back meeting room. For those unaware of what the Lions Club is about, the organization was founded in 1917 when a Chicago business leader asked, "What if people put their talents to work improving their communities?" Since then, the Lions have become an international organization 1.3 million members strong with 45,000 clubs. Although most of the work involves aiding the blind and visually impaired, the organization has expanded to assist in numerous community activities.

The McFarlane Toys Collector's Club has released some incredible figures in 2004 ... and we've got a couple months still to go!
There are several Club-exclusive action figures still on tap for 2004 and we've got some more specific dates that these products will be offered for sale in the Store at spawn.com.
Due to an ongoing dock labor shortage both in China and here in our Oakland port, some product delivery times are being slightly delayed. With that in mind, what follows is our best estimate of when the following figures will be offered.STEALTH CELTIC PREDATOR exclusive. From our Alien vs. Predator line, this unique stealth version of Celtic Predator will go on sale Wednesday, Nov 17. Purchase limit will be two per household and the cost will be $10 each, plus shipping.
Resupply of NBA BACKBOARD accessory. These popular accessories will once again be in stock in mid-November. We plan on offering these also on Wednesday, Nov. 17 to save Club members shipping costs. Backboards are $12 plus shipping.
SHANNON SHARPE Denver Broncos exclusive. The popular NFL action figure -- to be offered in both blue and Orange Crush uniforms -- will go on sale the week of Dec. 6. Purchase limits and costs coming.
COLONIAL MARINE CORPORAL HICKS exclusive. This much-anticipated Club piece, an alternate version of the figure offered at retail in Movie Maniacs Series 7, is tentatively set to be offered in early January 2005, due to shipping issues. However, if the shipment arrives sooner than planned, we will release it in mid-December. Costs and purchase limits to come.
In other Club-related news, with the opening of the official Store and Showroom in Tempe, AZ, we've been asked about an official policy regarding exclusive sales. Here it is:
Beginning with the next offering, Club exclusives will be released in the Store/Showroom one week after being released online. The same purchase limits will apply and -- as we currently do for online purchases -- we will exercise our right to refuse or cancel an order when customers attempt to purchase additional exclusives. As for all other new products in the Store/Showroom, they will be released at the same time as online. Chase, specialty or other unique figures will not be sold in the Store/Showroom. Also, the Store/Showroom will continue to sell small quantities of older stock until diminished; once this stock is gone, the online store and the retail store will essentially be offering the same products for sale.
Finally, our Club staff along with the warehouse folks and accounting department are diligently working on alternate -- and cheaper -- shipping options for our international customers. When we have a workable plan in place, we'll report back.

Higgins: Contradictory laws equal confused countryWritten by Tim Higgins | | email@example.com
Many will tell you that the United States is the greatest country in the world. They believe so in large part because this nation, (at least in theory) under the framework of the Constitution, lives under the "Rule of Law."
Now for those unfamiliar with this principle, this means this nation is governed under the pre-eminence of its laws, and not under the primacy of any individual or group of individuals. Laws however, have an internal supremacy of their own.
Municipalities like Toledo, for example, have city councils with the ability to write and pass laws, which go into effect if the mayor signs and doesn't veto them. Those rights are guaranteed under the principle of "Home Rule," granted under Article XVIII of the Ohio Constitution. Article XVIII however, states: "Municipalities shall have authority to exercise all powers of local self-government and to adopt and enforce within their limits such local police, sanitary and other similar regulations, as are not in conflict with general laws," — which is written vaguely enough to make it a constant subject of judicial, if not political, interpretation. Translated from "lawyer-speak," it means that a city can write laws for itself only as long as the state and nation agree that such laws don't conflict with state or federal law.
Confused yet? Then let's talk about the state level, where legislators play much the same game. Like their municipal counterparts, laws can be whatever is passed by the state legislature and signed by the governor. Once completed, however, state law has the potential to make local laws obsolete or superfluous, under the conflict portion of Article XVIII. But that's not the end.
The efforts of the states in turn are themselves subject to the same fate under the supremacy of federal laws under Article VI of the Constitution. Known in fact as the "Supremacy Clause" it states: "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding." (I know, blah, blah, blah …) Remove the legal gibberish however, and it makes clear that when under judicial review, federal law shall deemed the Supreme "Law of the Land."
This is where it gets even more confusing. Not only does the president, like the governor at the state level, have the ability to sign or veto legislation submitted to him by the legislature, but lately he seems to feel he has the power to change or delay implementation of certain politically inconvenient provisions in spite of "shall vs. may" language within it (something we'll have to go into in another effort). More importantly, it's the executive branch and the president's attorney general at the Department of Justice (DOJ) that's ultimately responsible for enforcing federal law.
During the current administration there's been some confusion, contradiction and what might even be seen as arbitrary behavior where such enforcement is concerned. The current DOJ sees no voting rights violation when a couple of Black Panthers with clubs stand outside a polling place in Pennsylvania, but does see it in a Wisconsin requirement for photo ID and in Ohio where providing absentee ballots and 28 days of early voting is apparently insufficient protection.
The DOJ challenged Arizona (and won) for passing a state law to allow its local and state constabulary to enforce existing federal immigration law when the federal government seemed unable or unwilling to do so. (Texas's governor just recently deployed the Texas National Guard to assist border enforcement in his state and we have yet to see if this too will be challenged.)
And then there's pot …
The DOJ insisted on the supremacy of federal drug laws early on when challenging "medical" marijuana use in California, but has recently seemed rather timid regarding recent state laws for recreational use in Colorado and Washington.
Inconsistent and contradictory federal enforcement of the Supremacy Clause seems the most generous way of describing the current situation. Does this erratic and unpredictable legal philosophy leave us confused as a nation, one ripe for both abuse and for legal challenge? Yes. Worse yet, it also makes it more likely that regardless of what you do (even if that's nothing at all), you could well be guilty of something.

So, I've been wanting to do a poll and I didn't have a topic and *poof* a topic falls in my lap!
Apparently our warehouse guy watched porn on his work computer. Video, pictures, everything. His computer faces the back of our warehouse, where we all walk in an out of multiple times a day. I have often seen him click off of his computer quickly but I just learned today it's because of the porn.
Now, I have no issue if you want to watch porn. Fine. Go for it.
But not at work. And DEFINITELY not where I can see. I don't like nudity. Ever.
So, everyone at my work who has seen it refuses to say anything, even though it really freaks some people out. Some of these women have known about it for years. It creates an uncomfortable work environment, in my opinion.
So the poll is this - if I see it should I be a whistleblower?

"-Layout worked well for our picture (elongated) -Customized the font type at the base of the photo with our family name -Used rounded corners, which added a really nice touch -Snowflake detail was sweet and did not overwhelm the picture -Felt quality was basically in line with the cards we also ordered from Minted. This was a good value for the price."

Small Museum Shows Off Weird Objects
By Margot Adler
Originally published on Fri January 24, 2014 6:29 am
In this encore report, we hear about a small museum in an elevator shaft in lower Manhattan. It's only six feet square, and only about three or four people can enter it at a time. The exhibits document the weird and wonderful of modern life, including prison contraband made from bread. (This piece originally aired on Jan. 2, 2014 on All Things Considered).

At this time we only offer our eight week day time program. This class is designed to allow you the opportunity to learn to drive semi trailer trucks and get into a rewarding truck driving career.
This course covers much more than the basics in Commercial Drivers' Class A License training. Topics include safe driving, vehicle inspections and understanding FMCS Regulations. The course also addresses all CDL endorsements and truck controls, including shifting, driving, backing and cargo handling. Soft skills are taught, such as employer-employee relations, customer relations, trip planning and map reading. The training program breaks down into three segments:
Upon successful completion of the program, you will be qualified to test at the Department of Motor Vehicles for a CDL Class A license and receive a certificate of completion.
Truck driving is in the top 5 on the list of hot jobs in Nebraska and #1 in OMAHA!
In the next five years, 1,764 new truck drivers will be needed and 757 will need to be replaced -- and that's just in Nebraska. These numbers represent a 29 percent increase in demand over the number of truckers needed in 2002.
Trucks play an integral role in the transportation industry because no other transportation mode can deliver freight door to door. Even goods that arrive by ship or rail eventually end up on a truck.
DESL 1310 - Truck Driving CDL Training I
DESL 1320 - Truck Driving CDL Training II
Classes are held Monday - Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at MCC's Applied Technology Center in Irvington, NE. You must register in person.
Winter 2014 class starts December 1st, registration begins October 2nd.
Spring 2015 class starts March 6th, registration begins January 22nd.
Summer 2015 class starts June 5th, registration begins March 26th.
MCC's CDL Training program is more affordable than many other truck driving schools. The in-state cost of tuition and books for the entire program is approximately $1,300. There are additional expenses you will incur, which would be part of any other truck driving training program. Financial aid maybe available for this program; however, some companies reimburse a student's tuition expenses up to a maximum amount set in the company's hiring policies.
MCC recognizes that for you to be successful in this career, you'll need to know more than simply driving a truck. Through their community partnerships with industry-related companies, they will bring in professionals to conduct mini-seminars on maintenance, first aid, cargo theft prevention and safety and finances. This knowledge will pay off by making you better prepared for a truck driving career. The better prepared you are, the more successful you'll be.
Some companies haul freight locally and regionally. These are short-haulers, meaning there are times you may be away from home overnight. Most trucking companies are long distance haulers that move freight across the country. Long-haul trucking isn't for everyone. In either case, your entire work shift is spent behind the wheel. You may be away from home two weeks or more than a month. But for those who are a good fit for this type of career, it can pay well.
Some companies use two-driver teams on very long runs—one drives while the other sleeps in a berth behind the cab. "Sleeper" runs may last for days, or even weeks, usually with the truck stopping only for fuel, food, loading and unloading. Some husband-wife teams have been very successful in this arrangement.
You must complete prior to the class start date:
Median hourly earnings of heavy truck and tractor-trailer drivers were $15.97 in 2002. The middle 50 percent earned between $12.51 and $20.01 an hour. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $10.01, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $23.75 an hour.
Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Many drivers make $32,000-35,000 their first year. Some drivers can make $48,000-50,000 by their third year, depending their level of commitment.
Overall employment of truck drivers and driver/sales workers is expected to grow about as fast as the average for all occupations through the year 2012, due to growth in the economy and in the amount of freight carried by truck. Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

"Deciding to order these card inserts for my Christmas cards this year was one of my best decisions in a long time. It took me longer to decide on a photo & my text copy than to place the order & receive confirmation from tinyprints customer service department that my order had already been reviewed & edited by a designer (a free service) and was headed to shipping. My "regular shipping" surprisingly only took 5 days via FedEx. My cards arrived in a cute box, nicely packed with tissue & cellophane. The card stock quality was excellent, photo quality clear, & font colors true. YEAH!!!"
"tinyprints customer service is superb. I was looking for an insert to include extra info with an invitation. I used the live chat to ask what would work for that and was directed to this item, which was just what I needed. After I ordered it, tinyprints contacted me about a mistake I had made and it was corrected before it went to print. My cards were perfect and, as always, the quality was excellent. Thanks tinyprints!"
"When I received my holiday newletter order with the 3 piotures, I was pleasantly surprised as to the quality of the paper and the clarity of the pictures and lettering. A friend of our family was so impressed with the layout and the quality, that he plans to use the same product next year for his holiday newsletter."
"This was a perfect way to personalize Christmas cards without writing a note on each one. This is our first grandchild so I made the text all about firsts; Nicole and Brian's first baby, our first grandchild, our daughters' first neice, Mary's first Christmas, and her first smile. I chose a text color similar to the color of the baby's outfit. The set up was easy, the live chat people were very couteous, helpful and patient, the paper was nice cardstock, and they arrived a day sooner than expected. There were a lot of creative ideas on this site, and I look forward to doing business with Tiny Prints again."

1. "Finding a soul mate is expensive."
Nobody said it was easy. Roughly 30 million unique users, or about 10% of the U.S. population, visit dating sites every month, according to market researcher Nielsen. And many of them pay a hefty sum for that chance to meet their perfect match. At the two biggest subscription-based sites in the U.S., Match.com ($42 a month) and eHarmony ($60 a month), users can save by signing on for, say, a six-month bundle ($24 per month and $40 per month, respectively). And some sites, like PlentyofFish.com and OkCupid, offer basic membership for free. But most subscription sites automatically renew until the customer cancels, and those fees can add up.
Indeed, for online purveyors of love, business is booming. While people used to meet mostly through friends, says Reuben J. Thomas, assistant professor of Sociology at the City College of New York, "that's been sharply on the decline since the advent of the Internet." The dating industry is now worth about $2.2 billion, up 4.8% between 2013 and 2014, according to a report by research firm IBISWorld. Of that, around $1.1 billion is from online dating, $576 million is from mobile apps such as Grindr and Tinder, and the rest is made up mainly of matchmakers and singles events.
So perhaps it should come as no surprise that as the popularity of online dating has risen, so have prices. A decade ago, many sites were free or had minimal fees of around $20 a month. (Match.com charged $9.95 per month when it launched in 1995.) eHarmony, launched in 2000 and marketed toward people seeking long-term relationships, blazed a trail with its prices, charging some of the highest in the industry, says Mark Brooks, a dating-industry analyst and the editor of Online Personals Watch.
Of course, there was a business reason for charging low rates in the early days, some experts say: Sites needed to stock the sea of love with fish. The faster they attracted users, the more useful the sites would be, Brooks says. And paying fees, he says, can have an upside: People may be more likely to actually use a site if they pay for it.

The weekend will feel just a tad bit empty. Yes, college football will be going on. Big games with BCS implications will be happening. But for the first time since the beginning of September, there will be no Aggie football. Let's all take a moment of silence to reflect on how we will pass the time until January—when the Ags will most likely play again.
Indeed 2012 will be a year that will forever remain in the memories of Texas A&M fans. From a new conference to perhaps the first ever freshman Heisman Trophy winner, the Aggies made themselves known not only to College Station but to the entire world of college football.
Here's a look back to the regular season that was. Check back with MyCW8.com next Monday for more Aggies and Johnny Football coverage.

Even before the financial crisis, Detroit was known for its undervalued real estate. Now, a bad situation is even worse.
Michael Bradley and his sister Annette Foreman have spent the last several months cleaning their mother's home. She died on Christmas Eve last year, and they're putting her house up for sale.
The four-story house, known as Stone Hedge, was originally built for Walter O. Briggs in 1915. Briggs was in the car business. His company built auto bodies, and he owned the Detroit Tigers.

Just curious, why do you need a 3.8 tire to ride on snow?:) I've ridden in snow with 2.5's just fine:)
They don't want a "skinny" tire pizza cutting their groomed trails.

Arbeitspapier / Institut für Sprachwissenschaft, Universität Köln
- Sprachtypologie (5) (remove)
- Qualities, objects, sorts, and other treasures : gold digging in English and Arabic (1999)
- In the present monograph, we will deal with questions of lexical typology in the nominal domain. By the term "lexical typology in the nominal domain", we refer to crosslinguistic regularities in the interaction between (a) those areas of the lexicon whose elements are capable of being used in the construction of "referring phrases" or "terms" and (b) the grammatical patterns in which these elements are involved. In the traditional analyses of a language such as English, such phrases are called "nominal phrases". In the study of the lexical aspects of the relevant domain, however, we will not confine ourselves to the investigation of "nouns" and "pronouns" but intend to take into consideration all those parts of speech which systematically alternate with nouns, either as heads or as modifiers of nominal phrases. In particular, this holds true for adjectives both in English and in other Standard European Languages. It is well known that adjectives are often difficult to distinguish from nouns, or that elements with an overt adjectival marker are used interchangeably with nouns, especially in particular semantic fields such as those denoting MATERIALS or NATlONALlTIES. That is, throughout this work the expression "lexical typology in the nominal domain" should not be interpreted as "a typology of nouns", but, rather, as the cross-linguistic investigation of lexical areas constitutive for "referring phrases" irrespective of how the parts-of-speech system in a specific language is defined.
- On describing determination in a Montague grammar (1977)
- In my paper "Thesen zum Universalienprojekt" (1976) I mention two complementary procedures for discovering language universals: 1. The investigation of the dimensions and principles whose existence is necessitated by the communicative function of language; 2. The development of a formal language in which all syntactic rules are explicitly formulated and in which all syntactic categories are defined by their relation to a minimally necessary number of syntactic categories. Since the first procedure is treated in many of the other papers of this volume, I wish to discuss the role of formal methods in the research of language universals. As an example I want to take the dimensions of determination and show how expressions denoting concepts are modified and turned into reference identifying expressions. There is a general end a specific motivation for the introduction of formal methods into linguistics. The general motivation is to make statements in linguistics as exact and verifiable as they are in the natural sciences. The specific motivation is to make the grammars of various languages comparable by describing them with the same form of rules. The form has to be flexible enough to describe the phenomena of any possible natural language. All natural languages have in common that they may potentially express any meaning. The flexibility of the form of grammatical rules may therefore be attained, if syntactic rules are not isolated from the semantic function they express and syntactic classes are not defined merely by the relative position of their elements in the sentence, but also by the communicative function their elements fulfill in their combination with elements of other classes. Montague (1974) has shown that this flexibility may be attained by using the language of algebra combined with categorial grammar. Algebraic systems have been developed by mathematicians to model any systems whose operations are definable. Montague does not merely use the tools of mathematics for describing the features of language, but regards syntax, semantics and pragmatics as branches of mathematics. One of the advantages of this approach is that we may apply the laws developed by mathematicians to the systems constructed by linguists for the description and explanation of natural language.
- Implikative Universalien, linguistische Prinzipien und Sprachtypologie / J.C.P. Auer, Wilfried Kuhn (1977)
- Wir wollen in diesem Aufsatz die Möglichkeiten typologischer Forschung prüfen, die sich aus Greenbergs Aufsatz "Some Universals of Grammar with Particular Reference to the Order of Meaningful Elements" ergeben. Greenbergs primäres Interesse ist nicht typologisch, sondern an der Universalienforschung orientiert. Er ermittelt aus einem 'sample' von 30 Sprachen 45 implikative Universalien der allgemeinen Form V(x) [A(x) → B(x)], wobei A und B beliebige sprachliche Merkmale sind und über die Menge aller Sprachen x quantifiziert wird. Überdies versucht Greenberg die relativ große Zahl von implikativen Universalien unter eine kleine Zahl von sog. Prinzipien ('principles') zu subsummieren, die allgemeine Bauprinzipien von Sprachen darstellen sollen und so Erklärungscharakter für die empirisch gewonnenen Universalien haben. Typologie wird von Greenberg zunächst nur in einem klassifizierenden Sinn verstanden; die Verteilung der untersuchten Merkmale in der Stichprobe von 30 Sprachen klassifiziert diese in solche, in denen das Merkmal anzutreffen ist und solche, in denen es nicht anzutreffen ist. Im folgenden wird zu zeigen sein, daß darüber hinaus auch auf der Ebene der Universalien und der Ebene der Prinzipien typologische Ansätze möglich sind.
- Typological parameters of genericity (2000)
- Different languages employ different morphosyntactic devices for expressing genericity. And, of course, they also make use of different morphosyntactic and semantic or pragmatic cues which may contribute to the interpretation of a sentence as generic rather than episodic. [...] We will advance the strong hypo thesis that it is a fundamental property of lexical elements in natural language that they are neutral with respect to different modes of reference or non-reference. That is, we reject the idea that a certain use of a lexical element, e.g. a use which allows reference to particular spatio-temporally bounded objects in the world, should be linguistically prior to all other possible uses, e.g. to generic and non-specific uses. From this it follows that we do not consider generic uses as derived from non-generic uses as it is occasionally assumed in the literature. Rather, we regard these two possibilities of use as equivalent alternative uses of lexical elements. The typological differences to be noted therefore concern the formal and semantic relationship of generic and non-generic uses to each other; they do not pertain to the question of whether lexical elements are predetermined for one of these two uses. Even supposing we found a language where generic uses are always zero-marked and identical to lexical sterns, we would still not assume that lexical elements in this language primarily have a generic use from which the non-generic uses are derived. (Incidentally, none of the languages examined, not even Vietnamese, meets this criterion.)

A 19-year-old North Charleston man is dead from a gunshot wound, and Berkeley County Coroner Bill Salisbury has ruled the death a homicide.
According to Salisbury, on July 4 at 4:28 a.m. the Hanahan 911 dispatcher received a call that a car had run into a house at the corner of Recess Road and Old Point Road.
When police arrived they found Terrence Kendall McNeil, 19, of North Charleston, in the drivers seat of the sedan. He had been shot and was pronounced dead on the scene by Deputy Coroner Kristin Mazzell.
An autopsy was conducted and his death has been ruled a homicide; the cause of death is gunshot wounds to the head. The investigation is ongoing by the Berkeley County Coroners Office and the Hanahan Police Department, Salisbury confirmed.

WEST JEFFERSON - The Falcons were unable to build on last week's win over East Wilkes, falling to an explosive Ashe County side 33-10 Friday night in West Jefferson.
After jumping out to a 3-0 lead on an Alex Torres 30-yard field goal in the first, the Huskies scored 20 second-quarter points en route to 33 unanswered points to put the game out reach.
Jordan Sawyers added a late touchdown, as the Falcons dropped to 1-8 on the season and 1-6 in the rugged Mountain Valley Conference.
Sawyers continues to be the workhorse head coach Chris Johnson expected from his sophomore tailback, rushing for 166 yards on the night on 31 carries. The sophomore has rushed over 110 yards in each of the past three games, including a season-high 170 yards against East Wilkes last week.
Bennett Winslow and Matthew Stanley added 18 and 16 yards on the ground, respectively, as Forbush topped the 200-yard rushing mark for the game.
Sawyers was a force on the defensive side of the ball as well, recording a team-high eight tackles with Cody Shrewsbury adding seven and a sack. Tyler Holden and Todd Patterson pitched in with six each.
Forbush returns to the field Friday night in its season finale matchup with Elkin in East Bend. The Falcons look to play spoiler on Senior Night as the Elks fight for the top 1A seed out of the MVAC.
