Johnny Hendricks wants Georges St-Pierre UFC title fight in September | News
It looks like Johny Hendricks (15-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) and Georges St-Pierre (24-2 MMA, 18-2 UFC) agree on a timeframe for their meeting.
Hendricks on Tuesday told MMAjunkie.com Radio (MMA Radio, UFC Radio - MMAjunkie Radio) that he anticipates fighting St-Pierre in September, which falls in line with an update earlier today from the welterweight kingpin's camp. St-Pierre's manager dispelled reports of an extended layoff due to an Achilles tendon injury and said fans could expect to see "Rush" return to the cage in late summer or early fall.
With ample time to prepare, Hendricks said he'll focus on shoring up weaknesses that were exposed in his UFC 158 fight with Carlos Condit, which ended in a unanimous decision win.
"I've got a lot of things to improve on, which is good to know," Hendricks said. "What I'm going to do for the next month and a half is I'm going to work on exactly what I need to work on to get better."
The good news, he said, is that no one is in front of him to fight the champ. St-Pierre removed a final obstacle by beating Nick Diaz in the headliner of the March 16 pay-per-view event at Montreal's Bell Centre. Diaz stepped ahead of Hendricks despite losing a previous fight to Condit.
Hendricks, who previously had beaten five straight opponents, staged a brief protest when the UFC installed Diaz and then accepted his fate. He then decided he would make it impossible for St-Pierre to evade him by beating the former interim champ.
"I just don't see anybody else stepping in front of me, and that's really what it boils down to," Hendricks said. "That's why a win over Condit has been so good, to know that this week I'm not getting a call or seeing on Twitter that somebody else is getting the fight. I know it's me."
Condit certainly didn't make it easy. A late-fight surge pushed Hendricks to his limit and forced him to fall back on his wrestling skills. The crowd at the Bell Centre backed Condit and booed the decision.
Despite his win, Hendricks wasn't so sure he'd convinced the UFC he was the next man in line to fight St-Pierre. So uncharacteristically, he offered a direct challenge to St-Pierre, saying he would come to the champ's house to fight if his title opportunity was again denied.
"I knew that if I didn't do something to make sure that I got that fight, if somebody overstepped me, I'd be devastated," Hendricks said. "So throwing that out there, I thought it wasn't over my boundaries, but it was still good enough to say, 'Hey, this is what's going to happen.' So it's in between the nice guy and over-the-top trash talk."

- Additional Details
- Dimensions: 5.75 H x 0.50 D x 5.75 W inches
- Format: Hardcover
- Number of Pages: 96 Pages

What can a cat offer a woman that a man cannot? Well, for starters, a kittie comes home when he's called, doesn't steal the blankets, helps clean the dishes and never misses the toilet! These are just the beginnings of why a woman is wise to lose her man and marry the cat instead. This humorous book matches color photos with all the witty wisdom of this very logical way of thinking, including the facts that cats forgive all mistakes, don't pick fights, have lots of hair and don't channel surf. Who needs a man when you can get all this and hugs and kisses on demand?

Serving up innovation.
As the largest food manufacturer in North America and second in the world, Kraft knows the benefits of freshness. Thats why the company turned to Apple® iPhone™ 3G for a fresh approach to connecting with both staff and customers. In addition to supporting iPhone for employee use, Kraft has developed an iPhone app, iFood Assistant, that helps consumers shop for and prepare meals using Kraft products.
"We want to instill innovation in our culture," says Dave Diedrich, Vice President of Information Systems. "Seeing the innovation in iPhone opens our employees minds to whats possible in their jobs."
With world renowned brands, including Nabisco, Philadelphia, and Milka, Kraft, based in Northfield, IL, has annual revenues of $42 billion and more than 100,000 employees worldwide. Despite the companys huge scale, deploying and managing iPhone for employees has been practically effortless for IT.
"We procure the phone, configure it, and deploy it," Diedrich explains. The company maintains a basic Web page with iPhone configuration instructions, and an active online user group offers help to the user community.
In addition to providing the phone to specific groups, any employee who has an iPhone, or purchases a new iPhone will be able to access their Kraft e-mail — an option that large numbers of Kraft employees have already taken advantage of. "Our people decided they wanted iPhone," says Mark Dajani, Senior Vice President of Global Information Systems. "It wasn't one of those things IT decided for them."
Communication Without Borders
Kraft employees rely on their iPhones for push email, calendar, and contacts. By connecting directly with Microsoft Exchange Server, iPhone 3G gives the companys international workforce enterprise-grade access to essential business information.
"When the new features in iPhone 2.0 came out, we knew it was enterprise-ready," says Dajani. "The email, calendar, contacts and security components were critical for Krafts wide-scale deployment."
iPhone also serves as an internal communications conduit. Kraft employees can listen to audio messages, dubbed "Kraft Casts," from the CEO and other executives on their iPhones to stay up-to-date on the latest corporate strategies and branding initiatives. "iPhone allows us to communicate with our employees in a way that is more visual than having them sit and read text," says Diedrich.
Krafts innovative use of iPhone reflects a growing corporate necessity for mobile, wireless, easy-to-manage communication across multiple time zones. "There's tremendous opportunity for us to increase productivity by removing the barriers of location," says Diedrich. "With iPhone, employees can be at home, on the road, or with a customer, and still provide the services they need to make Kraft successful."
An Appetizing App
Based on the popularity of iPhone within Kraft, the company cooked up its own application for the iPhone App Store, called iFood Assistant. The app gives consumers more than 7,000 delicious recipes, a library of instructional cooking videos, full-meal shopping lists, and a store locator — all accessible via iPhone or iPod touch.
With iPhone, Kraft can deliver interactive, consumer-focused content where and when its customers need it. "We're able to make our content come alive on iPhone," says Ed Kaczmarek, Krafts Director of Innovation, New Services. "It provides the best consumer experience available."
Kraft built iFood Assistant with iPhone SDK and Apple developer tools. Kaczmarek describes the development process as straightforward and quick. Now that the app is available to the public, Kraft expects the downloads, plus potential content partnerships, to introduce new revenue streams.
By making the most of the groundbreaking features and capabilities of iPhone, Kraft shows its commitment to expanding its business through mobility and innovation. "iPhone is ready for business," says Kaczmarek. "All the tools are there, plus the security we demand. And the added benefit is that we can develop compelling applications."

"I loved everything about this gift tag! Looked great on clear cellophane goodie bags for my son's Star Wars themed birthday party."
"We were looking for a sticker photo for my daughter's sorority recruitment cards. It needed to be small. The size was perfect, but I would've liked to have seen a few more designs. In particularly more "grown up" designs. The ones you currently offer have a baby/child theme."
"We are so very happy with this birthday card. My son wanted a Star Wars theme for his birthday and, of course, TP had something for the occasion that was right up his Star Wars alley and right up my elegant and adorable alley. We were thrilled with the cards options - photo/no photo, age, font selection, etc, as it allowed us to create the perfect card for our occasion and as always the card quality was wonderful. Almost every single RSVP we received mentioned what a great invitation we sent out - so it definitely didn't go unnoticed. This invitation was a hit all around; parents, recipients and, most importantly, my son all loved it - definitely a 5 star card!"
"These are adorable! I stick them on everything my son takes to school. It is so easy to label all his belongings and feel confident that they will all return home:)"
"This is a perfect solution to birthday cards that boys never read and that fall off the gift, so that you have no idea to whom to send the thank you card. I don't particularly love the colors but my 10 year old son does. Now I can stick one of these professionally printed gift stickers on the gift itself, and the card will not get detached from the gift. I bought these along with the paint ball thank you cards and return address labels."

If defense wins championships, the Bishop England Bishops got off on the right foot Thursday in the 2014 Lake Marion Invitational Tournament in Santee.
Bishop England (6-3, 2-0) limited the East Clarendon Wolverines to just four points in the first half of a 56-24 opening-round rout. The Wolverines didn't score a single point in the first quarter, while the Bishops rang up 17. The Bishops full-court zone pressure wreaked havoc on East Clarendon (3-5), who gave away 21 steals throughout the drubbing.
"We really came out clicking in the first half," Bishop England head coach Bryan Grevey said. "Everything was working right. We were in the right places; came away with a lot of deflections and steals that led to a lot of easy baskets. It was a total team effort. Everybody that came in did something good."
Holding on to a secure 20-point lead in the third quarter, Grevey called off the pressure and emptied out his bench. Fifteen Bishops saw the floor Thursday. B.J. Grevey finished with a game-high 21 points on 5-of-7 shooting from beyond the arc. Dillon Corbett added four points, seven rebounds, while Taylor Howell scored six points, came away with six steals and handed out four assists. Bishop England shot 45 percent from the field, 50 percent from three-point territory, and dominated the defensive glass with 23 defensive rebounds.
"I thought we did a very good job on the boards, limiting them to one shot each possession," Coach Grevey said. "Overall, we played well overall but when you play defense and rebound the way we did today, it really helps your cause."
The Bishops are aligned in Bracket II with Hannah-Pamplico, Stratford, Scott's Branch, Lake Marion, Military Magnet and Berkeley. Friday, they'll advance to face Stratford at 5:30 p.m. in the main gym of Lake Marion High School.
"I really enjoy going to tournaments like this because it allows us to go in an area we never really get to go and gives the kids and our school different exposure, so to speak," Coach Grevey said. "There are some quality teams in our bracket, including Stratford. We wanted to win and stay in the winners bracket today, and we did that. So right now we're focused on surviving and advancing."

icePod: Development of an Ice Imaging System for Monitoring Changing Ice Sheets Mounted on the NYANG LC-130
This project will develop an integrated ice imaging system capable of measuring in detail both the ice surface and the ice bed. TheicePod system will be installed and operated on New York Air National Guard LC-130 aircraft during routine and targeted missions across Antarctica and Greenland as a shared community research facility providing data to scientists and educators globally. The fundamental data sets produced by the icePod system are necessary to support the development of accurate ice sheet models to predict sea level rise. The icePod system will consist of a suite of imaging sensors mounted in an external pod carried on New York Air National Guard LC-130's to map the surface and subsurface ice topography of ice sheets, ice streams and outlet glaciers.

(Sacramento)Equality California has partnered with State Farm Insurance to honor a Sacramento-area grassroots activist who has made a difference in the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Californians. The organization has officially launched a public "call for nominations" for this important award.
Last year's honoree, Dr. Neil Flynn, was recognized for his work providing high-quality health care to LGBT people, particularly people living with HIV/AIDS, through his work at the CARES clinic through University of California, Davis. Flynn was chosen from a pool of outstanding nominees nominated by members of the public and selected by a committee of Equality California board and staff members.
"Our movement is built on the backs of community members who quietly do the vast majority of day-to-day work for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Californians. We can't win without the passion and dedication of grassroots activists nourishing our neighborhoods and sustaining our momentum, and this is our chance to celebrate their work," said John O'Connor, Equality California executive director. "We are proud to partner with State Farm Insurance to recognize the unsung heroes and good neighbors throughout our state on a bigger stage."
Supporters of equality throughout California may submit nominations by visiting:
Submissions must be received no later than February 17.
To encourage nominations, EQCA will award a pair of complimentary tickets to the Sacramento Equality Awards ($100 value) to the individual whose nominee is selected for the award.*
The 2014 Equality Awards are made possible in part by Statewide Presenting Sponsor AT&T, Statewide Reception Sponsor State Farm Insurance and Statewide SponsorSouthwest Airlines.
For more information about tickets to or sponsorship of the 2014 Equality Awards visit eqcaawards.org/sacramento/.
*Note: in the event that multiple individuals nominate the same person, each of those individuals will be entered into a drawing to determine which nominator will receive the complimentary tickets to the San Francisco Equality Awards.
Equality California (EQCA) is the largest statewide
lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender advocacy organization in California.
Over the past decade, Equality California has strategically moved California
from a state with extremely limited legal protections for lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender people to a state with some of the most comprehensive
human rights protections in the nation. Equality California has partnered with
legislators to successfully sponsor more than 90 pieces of pro-equality
legislation. EQCA continues to advance equality through legislative advocacy,
electoral work, public education and community empowerment. www.eqca.org

Results 31 to 40 of 171
The fightgear headgear that we've been selling at the gym for a while = http://store.yahoo.com/fightgear/traditional.html they are well made and everyone seems to like them.
Here is the blue bomber ming loyalist mentioned http://store.yahoo.com/fightgear/bluebomber.html havent seen or tryed one myself but for $30 thats a good deal.
Was checking out one of those 'blue bombers' today at the gym, one of our guys got one and likes it, seems real nice, is very light and same basic design as the leathr version that costs twice as much. Don't know how durable it is for the long run, but for 30 bucks it seems pretty good.
Was looking at the chest protector i mentioned and the label is a) so faded its illegible, and b) in chinese anyway. I'll ask Josh tonight if he knows where they originally got it from and where you could get one. It is very light, the armor is just vertical battons of something like fiberglass or kevlar, it is maybe 1/2" thick max, there is no squish to it.
The other ones that we use that are bulkier and heavier are from Ringside, we usually just wear for drills to let someone practice body shots on us, but they are still better and less bulky than the TKD style protectors.

Training gear help anyone?
I'm on the search for a good set of boxing headgear and some instep shin protectors. I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences with different brands or perhaps recommend something?
Note that cost is a factor as I am not rich.
Any help would be appreciated thank you.

Castillo is expected to addpop, buzz to sagging BoSoxTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | August 23,2014BOSTON Red Sox manager John Farrell calls outfielder Rusney Castillo an exciting, athletic player.
The Cuban defector is expected to show off those talents for Boston soon, perhaps within the next week.
Farrell spoke Friday amid multiple media reports that the Red Sox had agreed with Castillo on a $72.5 million, seven-year contract.
Red Sox president Larry Lucchino declined to comment.
Farrell was aware of Bostons pursuit of the 27-year-old Castillo and discussed him before the opener of a three-game series with the Seattle Mariners.
Above-average speed, can play center field or right field, Farrell said. What kind of power? What kind of average? Obviously, our scouts liked him enough. If the reports are true, its a significant investment and its an exciting, athletic player, from all accounts.
Farrell knew of the reports of the agreement, but said administrative details must be finalized before an official announcement is made. The first season of the deal could begin this month.
The 5-foot-9 Castillo would join fellow Cuban Yoenis Cespedes in Bostons new-look outfield. The Red Sox obtained Cespedes from Oakland and Allen Craig from St. Louis at the July 31 trade deadline.
The Red Sox have had trouble finding a replacement for Jacoby Ellsbury since the center fielder signed with the New York Yankees after Boston won the World Series last season.
Jackie Bradley Jr. played there most of this season and is an outstanding defensive player but has struggled as a hitter. He was sent to Triple-A Pawtucket on Monday when the Red Sox recalled Mookie Betts to play the position.
Now the job likely will go to the speedy Castillo, a right-handed hitter who is considered a good outfielder but not as good as Bradley.
Shane Victorino, an outstanding right fielder who also can play center, is out for the season after back surgery and has one year left on his contract.
Bostons lineup is much better now than its been for much of the season.
Its lengthened out, Farrell said. You could say right now maybe were leaning a little heavy on the right-handed side, but prior to opening day next year theres a lot of time and I know a lot of thought will be put in as to how we improve this team.
Castillo played center field for the Cuban national team.
Farrell said the transitions made by recent Cuban defectors such as Cespedes, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig and Chicago White Sox rookie first baseman Jose Abreu have been impressive.
Hopefully, he said, the same holds true for every other player that comes over.
Abreu began Friday hitting .303 with 32 homers and 90 RBIs.
Hes a guy that has all the tools, as we call it, Abreu said of Castillo through a translator. Hes a five-tool player, and so long as he stays mentally tough, hes going to be able to do some good things.
In Castillos best two years in Cuba, 2011 and 2012, he hit .324 and .332 and totaled 34 homers, 145 RBIs and 51 stolen bases.MORE IN This Just InThe family of a Connecticut man who was killed in a car accident on Route 4 last Friday night is...

As the summer months approach, many youth will be out of school for summer break. However, learning should not cease just because another grade level comes to an end.
There are many opportunities for youth to continue to learn, whether they are enrolled in a structured educational program throughout the warm weather months. Activities that promote learning do not have to be overly structured, expensive or time-consuming. Rather, the best opportunities are often environmental or situational endeavors.
The outdoors provides an excellent opportunity to explore and learn. Nature walks give youth the opportunity to take a closer look at the beauty of the world around them. They may find vegetation that is unfamiliar to them and choose to do some follow-up Internet research to identify it. Or, they may catch sight of a bird or hear a bird call that they had not heard before. Youth with a penchant for creativity may collect a few items and create beautiful art from nature. After dark, youth can view the night sky and learn about stars, constellations and planets.
Parks provide opportunities for youth to grow socially. Children typically gravitate to playground equipment and swing sets. Often, even children who are tentative to make new friends are drawn into imaginative play as groups of their peers explore and create scenarios on playgrounds shaped like castles and pirate ships. Unplanned "play dates" emerge as children who may not otherwise spend time together find themselves embroiled in creating new, fluid story lines which change as the "characters" arrive at and leave the playground throughout the day.
Local parks also offer occasions for pick-up basketball, volleyball or baseball games. While these games are excellent opportunities for youth to hone their athletic skills, even more important lessons are learned: Teamwork, cooperation and turn-taking, which are valuable tutorials that youth can carry with them throughout their lives.
Gardening is a popular summer activity. However, not all youth have an opportunity to tend to a backyard garden. If possible, youth can offer to help a neighbor with his or her garden, volunteer to tend a garden at a local park or provide similar outdoor or landscaping assistance at a senior center. Gardens offer excellent lessons on healthy food choices, but more importantly, help children learn the importance of patience and careful cultivation in helping something grow.
Summer months don't always carry the promise of good weather. In the event that poor weather prohibits outdoor play and learning, one of the easiest and most significant activities that can encourage youth to continue to learn is reading. Local libraries open a world of opportunity at no cost. Research demonstrates that youth who are proficient at reading are more likely to graduate from school. If poor literacy skills extend into adulthood, they represent a significantly higher risk of living in poverty. Promoting literacy among children and youth is one of the most important lessons an adult can impart on a child. In fact, high frequency reading parents are six times more likely to have high frequency reading children. Therefore, it is important for youth to witness significant adults in their lives invested in reading and literacy.
While the warm weather offers a multitude of learning opportunities in the absence of a structured educational program, adults are a key part of cultivating this learning. Significant adults in the lives of youth must help expose them to these opportunities and encourage them to participate in activities that will further their learning.

Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel

.A couple curiosity questions:#1. What do you think would happen to Christians if all the 'houses of worship' doors were locked shut?Meaning, all so-called Christian churches
..all Catholic churches, Protestant churches and Cathedrals.------------------------------#2. What do you think would happen to Christians if all Bibles
.if everyone them were confiscated? Meaning, no more Bibles to read.If either or both of these two things would ever happen would it really be a bad thing?How did David the shepherd boy live - without his Bible and corner church?Peace, AJ
I know that churches have serious issues, but I think we can be too quick to dismiss the idea altogether. People want and need to feel connected with eachother. After all, we're the body in spirit, but what good does your hand or pituitary gland do if they're wandering around 2 towns over and you don't even know you're missing them?
Also, the experience of the early church in many places doesn't really conform to many of our expectations. Before the Christians aroused the hostilities of the Jewish temple authorities, they were meeting in an area of the temple complex which was capable of holding more people than our biggest mega-church. Even before the day of pentacost, the number of male believers who gathered together to choose a new disciple to take Judas's place was 120 - more than would fit into a home today!
There are also writings from the days before Constantine speaking of wealthy Christians who had rooms in their homes able to hold several hundred people which were used for church gatherings (ie the home church). The fact that the early Christians modelled their worship and practices after Jewish ways should also give pause to those who think that church gatherings were spirit lead events with no structure or form.
There is nothing wrong with ritual - humans around the world and through out time have used it which indicates to me that there is something fundamental in our make-up which is drawn to rituals. And rituals can be filled with meaning, with the movement of the holy spirit and create a connection which transcends time and place between its practitioners. It is only when ritual is seen as a means unto itself, rather than as a practice through which one can experience and reach out to God's spirit that ritual becomes a problem.
There's also nothing wrong with using the spiritual gift of teaching. Some have the gift of prophesy and those who do not shouldn't feel badly about this - they should seriously consider the messages of those who God has gifted in this way. Likewise, some have a gift of teaching which allows them to explain things of God in ways that others may not be able to come to on their own. Those who do not have this gift shouldn't feel bad about it, nor should they scorn it's use.
In order for those who have the gift of teaching to use their gifts properly, they would need to spend every waking hour speaking to people individually or in very small groups of 20 or less in home churches if they are to be constricted to the idea that it is wrong to teach to large groups. Different gifts work best in different settings and just as in Jesus' day teaching is often quite effective and can touch large numbers of people quickly in a setting of more than a handful of people.
Finally, while it is a very, very unfortunate truth that many churches today are not the best places for the hurt and needy to stay in the long term, the fact of the matter is that many people, when they are at the end of their rope and usually out of desperation, find their way through the doors of a church. I have met people in this situation many times in church and I can guarentee you that if there was not a church there for them to go into, they would not have shown up on my doorstep looking for answers.
I think we are in danger of allowing our completely justified disgust with workings and practices of the mass of churches we have today warp our thinking about how to meet the legitimate needs of people to experience connections with others, be taught, grow spiritually, serve in community and be served by others. Just my
I know that churches have serious issues, but I think we can be too quick to dismiss the idea altogether.
There really isn't room anywhere in Institutional Christianity to grow to this extent. My experience is that those in her are the persecutors of whoever would reach for this. Really, it has to occur in such a way that God and no "system" gets the credit. We are not joined to an organization in an area we are to be joined to Christ alone. What do you think Mystical Babylon, the Great Whore is? "I betroth you to one Man, to present a chaste virgin to Christ." (2 Cor 11:2) My hope is that we may be witnessing God bringing out under His own authority those who are the Overcomers, who will be of those who Daniel describes as "the holy ones of El-Elyon." "And the kingdom and the jurisdiction and the majesty of the kingdom under the entire heavens will be granted to the people of the saints of the Most High (El-Elyon.") (Dan 7:27)
Father continued ... His admonishment... convicting me I had made an Idol of those in leadership... of corporate worship... of traditional Christian Fellowship... of Christian Conferences... tapes... books, *to include the bible.... of having a ministry for the Lord and the like. I repented and surrendered all to HIM for purification.

The SWG as is today, is just bad quality. Last time I played, last year sometime, I think, the combat still looked and felt glitchy. Animations are still horrible, you actually have to download MODS to fix what SOE messed up, including the interface that looks like a 10-year old designed it. Players (how small the population is) and NPCs run around like they're on crack which helps to further ruin immersion.
It isn't the ones bad-talking the game that's been hurting it all this time, afterall like what some of us have been saying WoW has been bad-talked for a while and it's still doing the best in terms of subs. There's one thing I can say for Blizzard though and that's they actually listen for the most part, unlike SOE when they stuck their fingers in their ears when they sprang the crap they called the NGE on us and didn't listen. Closing down any post that was against them basically causing the meltdown that's been killing the game slowly ever since November 15, 2005.
The problem is SOE.

Momento Mori
Some great responses already. I agree with it being a combination of quality issues and throwing players under the bus. Of course people are going to discuss this on MMO dicussion forums, so word of mouth probably plays some role. Imo, horrible management of the game and its customers led to bad word of mouth though, not the other way around.
I also want to add that in spite of all the problems in the past, I consider returning to SWG. Why? Because I love StarWars, MMOs and the MMO gaming community.
Here's what stops me: I usually don't have long to wait before SOE seems to give the finger to their players yet again. I'll list just a few examples that have come to light long after the NGE.
-Adding RMT, game-changing loot to games like Everquest, after saying that they were against doing this,
-Adding RMT to SWG at the expense of crafters and content that would otherwise be included in the subscription fee,
-Making game-changing loot available for SWG via the card game, and encouraging people to pay real cash for only a random chance to win it,
-Running their TCG game tournaments in such a manner that they were banned in numerous states (requiring an entry fee for a random chance of winning prizes),
-Completely changing the business model for Free Realms, after the game went live,
-What I see as continuing abuses of power in the moderation of their forums (welcome to the refuge nonetheless Tux).
These are just a few examples. All of them lead me to the following conclusion: If I play an SOE game, it's probably going to be changed out from under me, I probably won't like the changes, the changes won't be for the players' benefit, and I'm likely to be treated poorly from a business and customer relations standpoint. Does that sound like an enjoyable online gaming experience, or an entertainment service that I would be willing to pay for? Lol, not bloody likely.

The same reason EQ1 or UO hasn't "bounced back". The only people this game can hope to attract is it's old players, too many people are looking for some kind of "next-gen mmo" and jumping ship over and over till then find it.

i played this game from its inception until after the NGE. i was loyal to these SOE execs who were not loyal to me. they did, in fact, give veteran players the finger not once, but twice (CU and NGE)...
they took a game that was relatively unique, and dumbed it down to make it more similar to other games because they wanted a bigger sub base. don't even try to tell me it was to improve the quality of the game, because it achieved the total opposite of that.
if SOE had been wise, they would have, after CU, recognized that their veteran player base liked the old game better. so what did SOE do instead? they moved even further from that original game!
greed and poor decision-making led to this game's ultimate downfall.

I'm sure that's a likely factor, but I'd have to fire back that WoW is anything but a next-gen MMO, and it's got what EVERYONE in the MMO biz wants (I'm talking sub numbers here). In fact, I'd even point out that it's no secret that the simple fact that it'll run on most mediocre office PC's is a huge selling point (such a selling point that BioWare has made no secret that they're copying the idea with TOR).
Personally, I think SWG's graphics are only now starting to look dated (buggy as hell, yes), and still stands up nicely against most newer games (with it's graphics on high that is). All bugs aside, it is a MUCH prettier game than WoW (aside from the atrocious NGE HUD).
So while I agree the core MMO player is looking for that next-gen experience (I'm one of them), I'd suggest that the masses aren't necessarily following suit. The masses that SOE thought would come in droves.

After some years i made a trial account to look how SWG had fared.
Graphic is crap
FPS-Combat drives me away from every MMORPG (i would play a shooter if i liked it).
World is covered with abandoned places.
SOE has a bad reputation and shows since many years they can not make a good MMORPG for PC-Gamers
And the old gameplay i liked (that had many flaws that time but it was ok enough and offered potential for improvements) is no more and i dont like the new one.
In the end the game is crap and SOE has not a single clue how to develop a successfull PC-MMORPG so it is the fault of SOE and to an unknown degree the fault of Lucasfilm.

SOE continuously seems to forget you actually need players and fans of your game to actually keep it alive. Its been shown countless times they make choices that either no one, or a small minority are asking for, botch everything up, screw everyone over and then try to cover it all up.
People were ticked when they completely changed the game, not once but twice, the NGE being the final killer. That being said I think it was more SOE's actions after the fact that really drove everyone away. Their constant crap of saying "more people are playing every day" right after they would open up everyones accounts to pad their numbers, and then the crap they spewed about not having the original pre-cu code anymore because they overwrote it.....one of the first things you learn in programming is to always save multiple copies of your work in case anything goes awry.
SoE itself should have been an option, ever since they added RMT to every game they own i refuse to play any game SoE comes out from now on. well i did go back to EQOA for a bit there but its the only SoE that doesn't have RMT and its the 2nd oldest MMO they have i believe? tho i think its more because of the PS2 format that they just can't add RMT to it, or its just more difficult to.hell they don't even offer server transfers for it, and if older players want to return they'd have to start over on CLW the only popular server left.
SoE is the worst MMO company out there they just shit on their customers over and over. and don't listen to anything they say at all.

On the flip side, I also quit after the CU. Not out of anger mind you, but the simple fact that ALL of my friends left the game. Then what happened? ALL of them (as did I) went back a few months later, and had a great old time.
How did SOE initially address the population issues?

Ive often times wanted to re-sub as well, many times have I went off to get another free trial to see the new goodies only to say bleh as the population and the game design just doesnt warrant the same involvement it once did.
Really if SOE was so hellbent on creating the NGE as they have shown time and time again they feel it was the greatest choice, then they should have just made it SWG 2 and left the original the way it was. The NGE basically was a whole new system, and theres no reason they couldnt of just made it a totally different game and given players the choice of which they wanted to play.

I love Star Wars. But this game is nothing but a MMO with a SW skin. It has nothing to do with the actual SW universe..

I happen to be about as big of a SW fan as they come, and I find many of the uses of SW canon in SWG actually repulse me than attract, simply due to their use being either nonchalantly thrown in to give is 'SW cred', or utterly blasphemous things such as Flying Love Ewoks.

So why hasn't SWG bounced back?
This is the same question people ask about EQ2, Vanguard, Planetside, EQ, etc.
I cannot think of one other company that has such a poor track record across the board as soe. There is just such an ugly list of actions that soe finds acceptable to push upon their customers that is has earned them a justified reputation. On top of that they cannot hold onto quality game designers to save their life and this has affected all their games.
A company that doesn't respect its paying customers and has a serious quality issue isn't going to see people rushing back to embrace them.
It is funny and sad how the remaining fans of said games stand around and wonder were everyone has gone or why more people do not come join them.

The numbers went down and never came back because of these actions. Because SOE and Lucas Arts destroyed the foundation of its very own community for SWG when they changed the game from a skill system to a leveling system, they lied to its community, banned community members who protested the change, and failed to deliver to the community promises that were made. The WoW clone failed!

Vaidhyanathan is a fellow of the New York Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for the Future of the Book. In 2011 he was appointed chair of UVA's Department of Media Studies.
In March 2002, Library Journal cited Vaidhyanathan among its "Movers & Shakers" in the library field. In the feature story, Vaidhyanathan lauded librarians for being "on the front lines of copyright battles" and for being "the custodians of our information and cultural commons." In November 2004 the Chronicle of Higher Education called Vaidhyanathan "one of academe's best-known scholars of intellectual property and its role in contemporary culture." He has testified as an expert before the U.S. Copyright Office on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
He is noted for opposing the Google Books scanning project on copyright grounds. He has published the opinion that the project poses a danger for the doctrine of fair use, because the fair use claims are arguably so excessive that it may cause judicial limitation of that right.
Vaidhyanathan was born in Buffalo, N.Y., and attended the University of Texas at Austin, earning both a B.A. in history and a Ph.D. in American studies.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- Freshman Gee McGhee (Baton Rouge, La.) scored a career-high 24 points to lead the Chattanooga Mocs (12-17/7-9) to a 72-68 win over Elon (19-9/12-4) Saturday night. It was a hard-fought win on senior night in McKenzie Arena as McGhee and his mates sent seniors Drazen Zlovaric (Novi Sad, Serbia), Dontay Hampton (Chattanooga, Tenn.) and Drew Baker (Nashville, Tenn.) off with a win.
It wasn't easy. The Phoenix, which clinched the Southern Conference North Division title on Thursday at Samford, led by six with 12 minutes to play on Sebastian Koch's three-pointer. The Mocs answered with a 9-0 run to go up 59-56 on Eric Robertson's (Huntsville, Ala.) three-pointer from the left corner. Robertson started and ended the run with his trey at 9:38.
The lead ballooned to six on Zlovaric's layup at 7:07 for a 64-58 advantage. It got to as large as seven, 69-62, on McGhee's 24th point on a jumper with 4:35 remaining. It was a defensive struggle the remainder of the game.
Jack Isenbarger scored with three minutes to go in the paint to cut it to three, 69-66. It was the last field goal of the contest for either side. Ronrico White (Knoxville, Tenn.) made three of four free throws to close out the win.
McGhee added a game-high eight rebounds and a spectacular block with just over a minute left to help seal the win. He made a career-best 13 free throws in 19 attempts falling just two shy of the school record of 21 held by Derrick Kirce although both are new freshman records. Zlovaric and Z. Mason (Nashville, Tenn.) each chipped in 10 points for Chattanooga.
Ryley Beaumont had 20 points, seven rebounds and three assists for the Phoenix. Koch ended up with 13 points, while Isenbarger added 12 points, four rebounds and a game-high six assists. He also made a key steal with 17 seconds left making two free throws to make it a two-point game. White's free tosses with 8.4 remaining provided the final four-point margin of victory for UTC.
Elon led for a majority of the first half. It went up by as many as seven twice on a jumper by Josh Bonney and Beaumont's three. The latter came with 10:16 left to make it 25-18 Phoenix. The Mocs scored the next seven points with McGhee's free throw at 7:43 knotting the score at 25-all.
It was 32-all when McGhee and fellow freshman Casey Jones (New Orleans, La.) scored on back-to-back possessions. McGhee sank two free throws and was literally followed by Jones in the scoring column. His layup was just off the mark, but Jones soared through to tip it in for a 36-32 lead. Beaumont scored on a layup with 52 seconds to go sending the Mocs into the break up one, 38-37.
Jones made his first start since his knee injury in December providing energy and enthusiasm to the Mocs. He ended up with eight points (tying his high), five rebounds and three assists. Fellow freshmen Robertson and Alex Bran (Memphis, Tenn.) provided solid minutes off the bench as the quartet of first-year student-athletes combined for 40 points, 13 rebounds and six assists.
Chattanooga is on the road to close the regular season. It starts Thursday night at Western Carolina with a 7 p.m., tip time. Listen to the exciting play-by-play from "Voice of the Mocs" Jim Reynolds on ESPN 105.1 the Zone in Chattanooga or online at GoMocs.com via MocsVision.

For many hunters in North Carolina, hunting deer is more than a favorite pastime; it's also filled with responsibility — after the hunt.
For most successful hunters, this means a trip to a local deer processor who takes the deer and reduces it to packages of venison.
Recently, some have been dumping their deer carcass along local, county, or state roads.
Some deer carcasses have been appearing in streams or rivers. The decomposing carcass bacteria can seep into the watershed that feeds into Elkin's drinking supply.
That can cause a human health risk.
And although town officials are monitoring the levels and say Elkin's drinking water is safe, they're not taking anything for granted.
"The water in the Town of Elkin is safe, and we can assure the public of that," said town Manager Lloyd Payne. "However, there are some hunters in the area that decide they want to dispose of carcasses of dead animals in a way that could disrupt the integrity of our water source, and we would ask that hunters be responsible and dispose of dead animal carcasses in a way that's prescribed by the state of North Carolina."
The chronic problem of improper deer carcass dumping has gotten the attention of North Carolina's Wildlife Resources Commission Law Enforcement unit.
"We are placing cameras in known dump sites to apprehend violators," Wildlife Resources Officer Tyler Brown told The Tribune.
In North Carolina, improper dumping on its roadways, rivers, streams, or on private property without the landowner's consent could yield a misdemeanor violation with hefty fines.
Officials say, after the kill, the solution is simple.
"We recommend disposing of the byproduct by digging a pit in which the deer carcass is placed, composting is another option, double-bagging the remains and taking it to a landfill, or leaving it to nature as long as it's out-of-sight and nowhere near water," said Brown.

AGENDA: Pre-registration and lodging specials for Vegas show, Aug. 17-19.
SIA: Cooling down NYC with annual Summer Snowdown media event.
Details on Industry Insight.
Surf Summit 13 in Los Cabos, Mexico wrapped up Saturday and several people have asked me: So what's the biggest news out of the event?
I must confess, I'm scratching my head about what the biggest news is. With no SIMA Image Awards this year, there were no big upsets or surprising results on that end.
There wasn't a blockbuster presentation that stood out, and I heard a wide range of opinions about the panels and speakers. Also, there was no scandal like last year, i.e., the roll-throwing and general wildness during the Image Awards.
I think the biggest headline may be that BRA and SIMA joined forces for the event, and about 50 retailers attended. Overall attendance was high, with nearly 300 people at the conference, and retailers and manufacturers spent lots relaxed face time with each other.
Also, the general vibe was positive – I did not hear tons of moaning and groaning about business and the economy.
Former professional surfer Martin Potter received good reviews for his talks on stage with the Gudauskas brothers and Rob Machado on the last night.
People were very excited Gerry Lopez attended and spoke, though I did hear several people comment that while they loved hearing some of the history of the surf industry, they felt the conversation between Gerry and Randy Rarick may have delved too deeply into nitty gritty historical details at different points.
TOMS founder Blake Mycoskie's presentation outlining how TOMS has taken off was well received, and many felt Blake did a good job of telling the TOMS story.
Several people felt the retail panel was just getting good when it was cut short because of time constraints. It was also the last panel on Friday, and some wished it had scheduled earlier in the conference so people would have had a chance to discuss it during the course of the event.
I was also surprised to hear many of the topics that both retailers and manufacturers have talked to me privately about are not always discussed regularly and directly between retailers and manufacturers. On the retail side –the worry about big box stores carrying the same product, the over distribution of brands, the need for special product, the drive for growth that comes from brands being publicly traded.
On the manufacturer side, the tough road for some small brands who can't offer the generous terms that some of the big guys are offering during the recession; in some cases, the need to find other distribution because some retailers are paying late; the perceived differences in business acumen between big brands and some smaller retailers.
One person suggested it might have been better to have a closed-door meeting between retailers and manufacturers and really let it all hang out.
On a lighter note, I heard mostly positive comments about standup comedian Steve Rizzo who gave a presentation about the importance of laughter and deciding to be happy. However, some who interacted with him at the conference said off stage, he was pretty grumpy and complained a lot.
Overall, I saw lots of interaction between retailers and manufacturers, including off-site dinners, surf and fishing trips, hang time at the pool and golf excursions. Building business relationships may be the true point of the conference after all.

Google Translate is fantastic and ever developing service provided by Google. My staff sometimes finds things that are to say the least strange. This is one is a good sample; when you translate from English to Icelandic the "words" Lalalalala (five times) Google will translate it as Bjork, the famous Icelandic singer. Not sure where they pull this from (maybe some funny Icelanders contributing and having fun while they are at it), but being an Icelander I can say for sure Lalalalala does not translate Björk.

USDA Seeks Comment on a Pest Risk Analysis for the Importation of Israeli Fresh Male Summer Squash Flowers into the Continental United States
February 17, 2010
