Incredibly simple to setup with spectacular results.
Got this system for a small (about 12 x 12) home office. Have one bulb in the ceiling fan, one in a small lamp in the far corner o Got this system for a small (about 12 x 12) home office. Have one bulb in the ceiling fan, one in a small lamp in the far corner of the room and one in an accent light behind my laptop while on its stand. Setup couldn't be easier... insert the bulbs and turn them all on, plug the signal unit into one of the open ethernet ports on your base station (cable included) and connect the AC adapter. Start the app up and press the button on the signal unit and you're all set. Bulbs at their highest setting are brighter than expected though still not as bright as conventional bulbs but that's to be expected. Really phenomenal option for people who work from home and want total control over the brightness of multiple lights to optimize their screen work. Price may seem steep but it is what it is. Though once you install it and use it you'll think it's worth every penny. …

Great Product!
I read an article and decided to purchase this product over a much more expensive home lighting system. One day later....Extremely I read an article and decided to purchase this product over a much more expensive home lighting system. One day later....Extremely Happy! Product was very easy and simple to set up...in Fact my six year old did all of the connections and i downloaded the app. The light output is as good or better than your normal light bulb and the color combination you see and get its just makes it that much better. I installed one on my sons room and tried the gradually dimming feature and it worked on the first try. If you are considering spending over 4K on a full house lighting system....make sure you spend the $199 starter kit and you will be Happy you did. I will be ordering more bulbs as they become available to change the entire house to this new system. …

So Far So Good
Very cool product. App could use some tweaking to make it a bit easier to use as there was a bit of a learning curve. All in all Very cool product. App could use some tweaking to make it a bit easier to use as there was a bit of a learning curve. All in all, set up was very easy (less than 3 minutes). I have the starter pack and 2 additional bulbs. I'll be ordering 10 more today to set up more rooms. Groups are a bit of a pain to set up as you have to create a scene and from what I can figure out so far can only set up colors in a group from an existing photo. Colors can be adjusted on an individual light but won't save unless in a scene. Could be I need to spend even more time on the app. Fade function didn't work in my first few trials but again I expect this to be me just taking more time to figure everything out. I also haven't been able to get a group programmed on my iphone to appear on the home ipad for others to use. Not sure if there's a way but will be a pain to set them up on multiple devices. Only a 2 year warranty even though they say the light is good for 15. Having stated all the learning issues, it's a very cool product, easy to get started and in my opinion completely replaces a crestron type lighting system. It is expensive but much less than a home lighting system would be. I will continue to hopefully replace every bulb in the house as various sizes are hopefully released. …

Lots of customization if your iPhone is Jailbroken ( I can tap my home button twice to turn my lights on using HueHueHue and have all of my lights turn on )
5 Hue lights = one light bulb. Lots of light for less $
Remote Access via LTE/4G
Expensive startup cost
Hue application is pretty clunky and could be much more user friendly
Lights are not nearly as ranged as they claim to be. Most dark colors do not exist in these lights ( Dark reds, greens, blues are very limited ) and is definitely not as advertised. Hopefully this will be changed with future updates if the lights have the capability?
Dimmer or On/Off switch is mad expensive for what it is …

PRESTONSBURG — Weather conditions are being blamed for a two-vehicle accident Monday, on U.S. 23 near Prestonsburg, which slowed traffic and sent one person to the hospital.
According to Prestonsburg Fire Chief Bobby Carpenter, a Ford Mustang driven by female whose identity has not yet been released was traveling north on U.S. 23 Monday around 2:00 p.m. when the vehicle hydroplaned across the road and collided with a box truck which was traveling south.
As part of an automatic agreement, the Floyd County Rescue Squad was called in to assist with the extrication of the driver. After the Mustang hydroplaned across the road, it struck the box truck between the front and rear wheels and was severely impacted.
The driver of the vehicle was safely extricated from the vehicle and transported to Highlands Regional Medical Center by ambulance. According to Carpenter, the driver could not be airlifted due to poor visibility and storm conditions.
The Prestonsburg Fire Department was assisted on the scene by the Prestonsburg Police Department, Floyd County Rescue Squad, the Kentucky State Police, and Transtar Ambulance Service.

The Savannah River Site provided plutonium for the first reported spacecraft to ever leave the solar system.
On Thursday, NASA reported that Voyager 1 made history by traveling more than 11.5 billion miles from the sun, which is an area scientists call interstellar space.
The spacecraft is powered by plutonium from SRS, according to Department of Energy officials.
"The Savannah River Site produced the plutonium 238 program that produced the core of the batteries that are powering the probes to the outer reaches of the galaxy," said Department of Energy spokesman Jim Giusti. "Pu-238, used by NASA in its deep space probes, has a half-life of 90 years. This means that the plutonium will lose half its punch in 90 years, half of that punch in 90 more years, and so on."
NASA feels that Voyager 1 officially exited the solar system more than a year ago; however, it wasn't until recently that the agency had enough evidence to verify the feat.
About six pounds of Pu-238 made at SRS is onboard each of the probes in a variety of different batteries. The plutonium was made at the SRS HB-Line, a chemical processing facility on Site. It was then sent to the pre-existing Mound Lab in Dayton, Ohio, to be turned into the batteries (RTGs) that power the probes.
"Those at SRS working on the plutonium 238 program knew that the materials they were producing were going into the batteries for the deep space probes," Giusti added. "So there was a certain amount of pride when the probes started bearing fruit."
In addition to Voyager 1, SRS also has or has had plutonium stakes in several other spacecrafts. These include Voyager 2, Cassini, Spirit, Opportunity, Galileo and Ulysses. Spirit and Opportu nity are exploring the surface of Mars. The Galileo is studying Jupiter and Saturn, and the Ulysses is studying the sun's polar region.
Derrek Asberry is a beat reporter with the Aiken Standard news team and joined the paper in June. He is originally from Vidalia, Ga., and graduated from Georgia Southern University with a journalism degree in May 2012.
The journey of the Voyager spacecrafts
• Voyager 1 launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla., in 1977.
• In February 1998, Voyager 1 passed Pioneer 10 to become the most distant human-made object in space.
• Both Voyager 1 and 2 carry a greeting to any form of life, should that be encountered. The message is carried by a phonograph record – a 12-inch, gold-plated copper disk containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth. The contents of the record were selected for NASA by a committee chaired by Carl Sagan of Cornell University. Dr. Sagan and his associates assembled 115 images and a variety of natural sounds. To this they added musical selections from different cultures and eras, and spoken greetings from Earth-people in 55 languages.
• This month, Voyager 1 is at a distance of 18.7 billion kilometers from the sun.
• Science data is returned to earth in real time at 160 bits per second.

WACO (December 4, 2012)—Baylor football coach Art Briles has agreed to a new long-term deal according to a school source quoted by ESPN Tuesday.
Briles was considered a candidate for the opening at Arkansas, ESPN reported.
254Sports talked to a Baylor official who did not deny the report of the Briles' contract extension.
Baylor defeated Oklahoma State Saturday in Waco to end the season with seven wins including a stunning upset of No. 1 Kansas State and an overtime victory over Texas Tech.
It's the first time the Bears have won seven or more games in three consecutive seasons since the late 1940s.
Baylor faces UCLA in the Holiday Bowl on Dec. 27 in San Diego.

Student Named 'Best Oralist' at FBA Sponsored TournamentApril 03, 2007
Liberty University School of Law students were recently in the Nation's Capital where they enjoyed a jammed-packed day that included a trip to the U.S. Supreme Court, a tour of the Court and the Capitol building, and a reception at the Supreme Court with Chief Justice John Roberts.
The law students attending the events are participating in either Liberty Counsel's summer externship program or the summer Constitutional Law Clinic, which is a clinical program offered by the School of Law and Liberty Counsel. Accompanying the students and organizing the trip were Mathew Staver, Dean of the School of Law and Founder of Liberty Counsel; Anita Staver, President of Liberty Counsel; Rena Lindevaldsen, Assistant Professor of Law at the School of Law; Erik Stanley, Chief Counsel of Liberty Counsel; and David Corry, Senior Litigation Counsel of Liberty Counsel.
The law students had the rare opportunity to attend one of the final sessions of the High Court's Term in which all nine Justices were seated for the oral delivery of five cases. Three of the five cases delivered by the Court dealt with student speech in public schools, a challenge against President Bush's faith-based initiatives (which the Court turned away), and a free speech challenge to the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law (in which the Court sided with Wisconsin Right to Life's issue ads against the speech-restrictive law).
The students then attended a lecture by the Clerk of the Court and were taken on a special guided tour of the Court where they were able to see sections of the Court not accessible to the general public. The day continued with a tour of the Capitol building and was capped off with a private reception in the East Room of the Supreme Court with Chief Justice John Roberts.
Commenting on her experience, Jana Carter, a third-year law student, said: "It is such a blessing and a true gift to be afforded the many once-in-a-lifetime opportunities that Liberty Counsel gives us each summer. I will never forget the excitement of walking into the Supreme Court and thinking it couldn't get any better, and then the Justices walked in, and I realized it just got better. Liberty Counsel has provided me with amazing opportunities two summers now and these are experiences that I know I wouldn't be able to have anywhere else during law school. Thank you so much for helping to fulfill lifetime goals and for constantly providing us with opportunities of a lifetime."

We know that the Tantal's 5.45 magwell is narrower than a 7.62, but the length should be the same.
I have both blanks sitting bottom to bottom an the mag well of the tantal is about a 1/16" longer ythe area were the mag locks in is also slightly differant.
exactly that. the tantal is slightly narrower in every part on the sides of the mag well.What do you mean by narrower everywhere? All the other dimensions should be the same.
my mistake it should say a x39 shell could be turend into a ak 74 or 5.45 with a little dremil work. sorry for the mistake there.Lastly, and this one really has me scratching my head, how exactly do you make a magwell narrower using a Dremel?

In January of 2012 the Shawnee State University (SSU) Board of Trustees endorsed a plan by, Ohio Board of Regents Chancellor Jim Petro to increase the school's course completion rates and the number of degrees awarded.
With the passage of House Bill (HB) 153, Petro was to required to submit a plan to state legislators with the directive of the plan was to ensure the "Shawnee State Supplement will be used to promote the goals of improving course completion, increasing the number of degree conferred and furthering the university's mission of service to the Appalachian region," Petro wrote in a letter to the school.
SSU and Central State University are the only universities in Ohio that receive a special supplement in the state's budget. SSU's supplement has been as high as $4 million; it is currently at $2.4 million.
On Friday SSU released, a report from the Educational Policy Institute, titled "An Assessment of the Chancellor's Plan for Shawnee State University."
The report states, "The Educational Policy Institute (EPI) was hired by OBR (Ohio Board of Regents) to conduct a review of the institution and provide feedback on how the institution can deliver towards theses three goals."
Shawnee State's goals, beginning with new students in the fall of 2013, are to improve the rate of successfully completed courses by one to three percent for each class for the next 10 years, increase associate and/or baccalaureate degrees by one to three percent for each class entering in the successive 10-year period and to further its service to the Appalachian region by strengthening relationships with key regional employees and school districts.
The assessment leaves SSU with a number of student success strategies in the areas of data, analysis and communications, recruitment and admission, academic support, developmental education, advising, professional development and partnerships and collaborative.
Morris said the Chancellor's Plan for Shawnee State University, holds a number of challenges for the university.
"There are challenges because you don't turn a battleship around in six months. This is a 10-year plan to turn this battleship around," Morris said.
She said the university has already implemented portions of the plan, and will strive to meet the plan's goals.

UFC fighters break down Chris Weidman vs. Anderson Silva
Will Anderson Silva claim his UFC title back? Does Chris Weidman has what it takes to shock the world once again?
Silva and Weidman will meet again at UFC 168 for the middleweight championship on Dec. 28, and MMAFighting.com asked 15 UFC fighters to break down one of the most anticipated rematch in the history.
Check out the pros picks for the UFC 168 main event, and post yours in the comments section below:
Renan Barao: I was shocked with what happened in the first fight, but we're all humans and anything can happen in a fight. I didn't believe it when I saw. But Anderson Silva will take the title back. Unfortunately that happened in the first fight, but that's his fighting style. (Weidman) was lucky to connect that hand, but the next result will be completely different.
Fabricio Werdum: I see Anderson more focused, not playing around, and winning by knockout. He'll beat Weidman standing, Weidman will go down and Anderson will punish him until the referee stops the fight. Focused, not playing around… But it's a fight and anything can happen. Maybe there's another surprise coming, but I don't see this happening.
Wanderlei Silva: Anderson will win this fight. He won't drop his hands to make it easier. If he goes there and uses his muay thai, it's going to be an interesting fight. It's the first time in a long time that he's the challenger, so we have to wait and see how he'll react to that. I hope he trained seriously because his title is not his responsibility, he's carrying his whole country on his shoulder. He needs to take this fight seriously and bring the title back to Brazil. If he doesn't want it anymore, win the fight, leave the belt on the ground and say "I'm done". If he wants to, fight to win.
Tarec Saffiedine: One of my friends trained with Anderson Silva a couple times and he said he looks like a monster right now, mentally and physically. I think Anderson is going to claim his belt back. Weidman didn't respect his hands in the first one. Anderson is going to play that game a little bit, but he's going to be more cautious this time. But betting against Weidman is tough, man. Weidman shocked the world and he might do it again. I think I'll go with Anderson in this one.
Renzo Gracie: (Weidman) will win again, you'll see. He's really tough. Of course that Anderson has a big chance, he's a fantastic man, but it's a bad match-up (for him). Anderson uses that (taunting) to counter attack, that's how he won a lot of fights. His history in MMA is amazing, he's done amazing victories with that. He's fast and hits hard, has a stand up game that nobody else can reach, but (Weidman) has a great wrestling and jiu-jitsu, and he won't be afraid to fight standing. I always said that if someone had a chance to defeat Anderson was this kid, nobody else would.
Gegard Mousasi: I think Anderson Silva will win, maybe by decision. I believe Anderson will win this. He does that a lot of time and gets away with it and everyone recognizes him as one of the best of all times, and one time it didn't go well. It's a fight. Even the best fighter can lose once. I believe he's the No. 1 guy in the division. It's his way of fighting, but I think he'll be more cautious this time.
Lyoto Machida: Anderson is taking his preparation really seriously for this fight. I haven't spoken with him too much, but I know he's training hard. He will surprise a lot of people in this fight and take his title back with a great performance. I was surprised (with the first fight) because Anderson showed he had all the tools to win, but sometimes a mistake can make you lose the fight. It always worked, but not that night. I don't believe Weidman is that superior. I believe Anderson is way better, more experienced. Don't get me wrong, Weidman is a nice guy, I always talk to him when we meet, and he's a great fighter, a great champion, but Anderson is better.
Rafael "Sapo" Natal: It's a tough fight, but Weidman will win. I knew his potential for a long time, his jiu-jitsu, wrestling and stand up game are great. But anything can happen in a fight. Anderson was completely dominating the first fight and Weidman did a great job by connecting that punch. I think it's 50-50, but I believe Weidman has a great chance to win this fight again. If I had to pick one to win, I'd say Weidman.
Dan Henderson: Who knows? A lot depends on how Anderson Silva takes him seriously this time. I think he didn't take him seriously before and he will now. Weidman has a great style and obviously hits hard. He looks dangerous and has the capability to beat him again. You can't say that (doesn't taking Weidman seriously) that is the reason he lost. He might lose again and doesn't do that. But it definitely doesn't help. I just wished he had done that when I fought him.
Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante: Anderson uses that to frustrate his opponents. Imagine if you shoot five times against someone and they dodge four bullets? It's frustrating. He's really excited now. In my opinion, Anderson lost that fight to himself. He didn't get in there to fight, actually. Anderson Silva is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, nobody can beat him. He will knock out Chris Weidman.
Maurício "Shogun" Rua: It's a tough fight for both. Chris Weidman is a really good fighter, undefeated, and Anderson Silva is a phenom. Anderson has a little advantage in my opinion. He will be more focused this time, won't play around. He's more well-rounded and wins by TKO.
Vitor Belfort: Weidman can't play Anderson's game. Anderson will bring him to his game. Weidman will try to fight his fight and the whole world will be watching it. The important thing is that I'll be focused in my training. No matter who I fight, I'll be better next time. I know it's hard for you to believe I can get better, but I will. I've learned a lot of things that I didn't use yet.
Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza: I believe Anderson Silva will come back stronger and hungrier. That loss was a fuel for him. It's a battle of styles. He lost the last time, but he will make (Weidman) pay. He will bring the title back to Brazil with a knockout.
Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva: I've spent two weeks in Rio with Anderson, trained with him a couple times, and he's really focused. He's motivated, with a completely different mindset. Fighting seriously, Anderson is unbeatable. He has good escapes on the ground and I don't need to mention his stand up game. Sometimes a loss is more important than a win in your career. You'll see a different Anderson Silva. It's hard to predict how this fight will go because Weidman is a tough and well-rounded fighter, but I believe Anderson will defend the takedowns and get the knockout.
Cristiano Marcello: I think we'll see a knockout. Anderson was dominating the first fight, forcing Weidman to move around. He's more focused this time and (Weidman) won't last more than three rounds.
Don Frye's epic UFC 168 predictions
With whiskey, cigars, a babe, and Don Frye, if you only watch one UFC 168 prediction video, make it this one. In fact, if you only watch one prediction video ever, this is it.
"I'm going to say things about your favorite fighter that are quite unflattering, and it's going to hurt your little feelings," predicts Don Frye. "Grow up! The world's a harsh place. You get through it, maybe. Or you get cast aside and stepped on, like the dumb $%!@ you are.
"Now get some beer, and get some takeout, and let's get ready for some high-quality violence. Let's call our bookie, place some bets, and start counting the money."

Gmail Labs has a new feature that extends Gmail's search by showing results from Google Docs and Google Sites. If you enable Apps Search, you'll see a list of results from Google Docs and Google Sites below Gmail's search results. For some reason, Apps Search has a bug and returns incorrect URLs for Google Docs results, but I'm sure this will be fixed.
It's interesting to see that the Gmail Labs feature has been developed by the Apps Search team, which suggests that it's part of a bigger project. Most likely, Google will let you search all your data stored in a Google account from a single search box. If Google's universal search can combine images, videos, books, tweets, news articles in a single search results page, why can't Google develop an unified search service for Gmail messages, Google Calendar events, Google Reader subscriptions, Blogger posts, Picasa Web photos, contacts, tasks, Google Voice history and more?
Tip: If you want to search Google Docs and Google Sites, without displaying Gmail results, add -type:mail to your query.
Unexpected bonus feature: After enabling Apps Search, Gmail will show a "did you mean" message if your query includes misspellings:

His words:
"Were not quite sure who it makes sense to match-up against. Who we want to ask to fight next, we are kind of leaning towards Rafael dos Anjos. We think it would be a good fight with him. It will be entertaining, good fight and the match-up works well for us. I don't know if he has anyone scheduled in (to fight) or not. I think it might work. I agree with Chael Sonnen, you need to have a name in mind. I'm not going to go so low as to say, Oh, I want to beat somebody up because they are so ugly.' I think Rafael would be a good match-up, he's a tough fighter, he's on a five-fight win streak, I think it will be a good match-up."

Woman dies after crashing into SUV; car caught fireJanuary 29,2013JAMAICA — Authorities say a car skidded across a snow-covered southern Vermont road and crashed into a large SUV before catching on fire, killing a woman.
State police say the collision happened Monday afternoon in the town of Jamaica.
A preliminary investigation shows that a car was traveling southbound on Route 30 when the female driver lost control and the vehicle skidded across the road. It crashed into a northbound SUV driven by 48-year-old Gavin Scotti, of Greenwich, Conn.
Authorities say the car caught on fire shortly after the crash, and the driver was pronounced dead at the scene. Her name is being withheld until family can be notified.
Scotti and his 14-year-old passenger were taken to a hospital to be treated for minor injuries.

Tips for Excelling at UIC
Attending college represents a big achievement and an important change in your life, so we're here to help make the transition easier. In the coming months, you may feel a bit overwhelmed, but don't worry-many students feel this way. The more you engage with the university, other students, teachers and staff, the more at home you'll feel and the more likely you'll be to succeed academically and personally.
Here are just a few tried-and-true ways to excel at UIC.
- Get involved.
Join student organizations that interest you, whether related to your background, major, talents or hobbies-or just because they sound like fun. Becoming involved on campus will help you feel attached and supported. You can also benefit from getting to know upper-level students who can show you the ropes.
- Communicate. Talk with people you trust-family, friends and other UIC students-about your experience adjusting to college and a new environment. People won't know what you're feeling unless you tell them. It's the best way to get the emotional support you need.
- Make the most of university resources.
UIC provides a wide range of student services, from career counseling and financial aid to child care and tutoring. There are academic support programs for our diverse student population, as well as help for just the basics, like getting around town or finding a job. If you have a need, chances are, we have a solution. We're all here to help you.
- Seek balance.
Your schedule is likely to be pretty hectic, so time management will be essential to helping you juggle your school, work, extracurricular and social commitments. Use an organizer or calendar to keep you on schedule, and block out study time just like any other appointment. Schoolwork, your job and having fun are all important, so don't allow any one to take up too much of your attention.
- Take care of yourself.
Eating well and getting enough sleep may not sound as tempting as the alternatives, but they can help you feel your best and improve your performance when it comes to schoolwork, sports and anything else you take on.
- Go to class.
That may seem obvious, but it isn't to everyone. Get to know your professors, take notes, ask questions and stay ahead of your assignments. After all, that's why you're here.
- Think about where you want to go.
Your goals may change throughout your time at UIC, but you should always be working toward something-otherwise, your efforts may seem pointless. Without an objective, you won't know what requirements you need to fulfill or what classes to take. Plus, imagining how your hard work will pay off in the future is a great way to stay motivated.
- Find other resources and use them.

Product Description
The Human Check module (HC for short) adds an extra level of automated spam bot protection to your comment and article submission forms. It does this by changing the input form name values to random strings each time you load a page. This makes it difficult for an automated bot to detect and exploit a pattern in your input forms.
The best part about the Human Check module is that regular users will never notice that it is enabled. It doesn't present any new anti-spam challenges or any other visual cues, making is a must have module for Pligg CMS.

New details are shedding light on the arrests made in the Texas State and Texas A&M bomb threat cases.
In federal documents obtained by News 3 19-year-old Brittany Henderson told Bryan police she had nothing to do with the separate threats that were traced to her Yahoo e-mail account.
Federal officials charged Henderson's boyfriend Dereon Kelly for allegedly using his cell phone to send a threat from Henderson's e-mail account to Texas State University.
Investigators say Kelly, who's originally from Bryan, sent the threat to Texas State while he was attending Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio.
His bond is set at $150,000 and he is also charged with sending the Texas A&M bomb threat e-mail.
Brittany Henderson remains jailed in San Marcos.
She is no longer a person of interest in the Texas A&M bomb threat.

Terrible. Carwins career gotta be on life support at this point. Guy started late and is always injured. I say he might fight once more then he's done-zo.
Meh I wasn't really excited for this fight
Hunt vs Nelson sounds great though
Fav Fighters: Penn, Wand, Fedor, Genki, Shields, Rashad, Pulver, Diaz bros, Melendez.
Hunt or Barnett.
Hunt apparently would be back in february, so I guess he is still injured.
Nelson vs Miocic may be an option.
Or fuck the Overroid vs Bigfoot fight and make Nelson vs Bigfoot.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
Hunt is out hurt until March.
If only Cormier could get his ass dropped from The Farce this would be the most perfect match up for him.
TUF Finale should equal decent exposure and Roy is a fairly solid name in the MMA world that Daniel should have no problem bullying.
Oh yes and Dana is big on DC and not so much Roy so I imagine he would love this idea but can't make it happen.
Or could he? Im sure that ZUFFA could cough up a penny or 2 to showtime to take Daniel early I dont believe it would hurt the card much with all the other names on it and also it's not like a SF card would make them much money anyways would it?
I really believe that people like Bill Murray or John Belushi are just as great and just as valid as Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. And I don't think you can say One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) is a better movie than Animal House (1978); they're different genres. I think they're both examples of great craftsmanship.

This isn't necessarily shocking news since rumblings of this began in late September.

I'm trying to get set up to build a PPS-43,looking for parts.I'm having a time finding some of them,a lot of dead ends etc.I'm hoping I can find some here,but I can't reply to anyone until I build a bigger post count,kind of hard for someone like me to do as I'm not a big talker or poster! morayman..........
plenty of kits all over the net to buy. jack squat on weapons guild has flats for sale. w.g. is a great site where building actually takes place.
I tried registering in the WG but when it came to the part copying the letters it said I didn't do it right,which was wrong! I've done this kind of registration many times and I even listened to the letters,but it keeps saying it's not right,I know it is right,it's their registration.Only thing I can think of is I'm using Firefox for my browser,but thats never made any difference in any other forum. Oh! and thanks for the info! morayman..........
mm i posted about your issue and will get back w/ you.
i just got in,I tried it maybe 7-8 times more and it finally took,I'm waiting on my e-mail now.Thanks for the help,something made it work!I'm not that stupid that I can't register!.I think I'll be in the same boat there as I'm in here,lack of posts.makes it hard for me,I'm not a big poster.Thanks Again for your help,morayman......
morayman, don't take this the wrong way.
But why don't you start a thread asking for what you need instead of replying in other people's thread asking them to email you without giving any details about it. I seen your WTB ad and it doesn't say anything other them your looking for PPs43 parts. What parts? Or are you looking for a complete kit? I think you would have gotten a lot more replies and most likely some help by now if you explained yourself a little better.
A lot of people on here have seen plenty of weird posts by people trying to scam others, no I'm not saying you are, but your approach has been on the weird side.
And please don't reply to this here, start a new thread or add to your WTB ad, I don't think we should hi-jack Rick's thread anymore them it has been already.

I feel like shouting obscenities and throwing things in response to this "MMORPG." Doing that would probably have the same effect as writting any sort of coherent review. The fact that this game exists, that there are people who play it regularly, is already proof enough that nothing can be done. Yes, the game is being remade, but into what????? If square enix thought FFXIV as it is now is worthy of being an MMO then who knows what they are cooking up now.
I need a second to think this brough. BRB.

Thank you for the responses everyone. They were very interesting. So I've been playing the game for a few weeks now so I think I can write about my experience in the game.
Intro: The game starts with an interesting cutscene. Basically a caged monster gets out of control and kills some people so you and a few NPCs have to stop it. This is a growing trend in MMOs. You are treated to an action scene and join some NPCs. The point is to point out something wrong in the world that needs your attention and introduce you to who your NPC friends are. Once this is established you are guided from location to location by a friendly NPC who lets you know what everyone in town can do for you (because it's all about you) and where you can go kill stuff. This is all very linear and could not be simpler. It serves as a good introduction to what the game is about. Simplicity is holy.
Races: It really doesn't matter what charcter you pick. The different races are just for show and stats differences are minimal. Because everyone knows that everyone is just as intelligent and just as strong and just as agile as everyone else. Nevermind differences between males and females. Once again, simplicity is holy. Lets not get too complicated and have to make choices.
Combat: Lots of swinging and casting. Everytime you attack or are attacked you obtain skill points. As you level up you automatically obtain skills that do lots of damage or create an effect. To use these skills you needd skill points. So fighting is kind of like using a budget that changes very fast. Damage is converted to skills points which are then converted to more damage (or an effect). Some skills can be used in combinations to create added effects. Some skills are only activated after something specific occurs, ie, you block an attack. Being in front or behind the enemy can be important for some skills. There are lots of specifics but ultimately the skills are just used to hasten the fights. I have yet to find a monster that I actually needed to use skills on. Regular attacks are usually fine if you start a fight with full health. Fights are very short, not dangerous, and mostly spent waiting for a skill to light up, indicating that the conditions have been met to use it. The conditions for them to be met occur every battle, which leaves very little excitment for when you use them.
Difficulty: If you die more than a couple times between level 1 and 30 (max lvl is 55) you either aren't paying attention or you should be playing marbles or something. Even if you do die a lot, there are no consequences. You might have to fork over a very tiny amount of money to repair your gear. The amount you will pay can be remade in about 15 minutes of play. If you ever do find yourself in trouble simply run away. You can run faster than any monster I have encountered. There is also a SURRENDER button when you are in boss fights. You can teleport to almost ANYWHERE. The airship takes about 30 seconds to get you to towns, and you can almost always rent a mount for next to hothing. Nevermind traveling. Money is given out like it's going out of style. The quest log shows you exactly where to go for each quest. Things couldn't be easier.
Guilds and community: I have joined two guilds and they are both the same. Guilds are called linkshells in FFXIV. There is usually two to five people in a linkshell at a time. No one says anything. There are no linkshell events. I write to them both about how much I think the game sucks. No on says anything. I shout all over the open zones that I think the games sucks. No one says anything. I go up to people and say hi. No one says anything. In a few weeks of play I have gotten maybe four people to talk and one person to partner with me to kill stuff.
Leveling Up (aka the journey): There is a system called "levequests." This system involves going to a single NPC in a town and then getting a list of monsters that need killed in another zone. You then teleport to this zone and kill a bunch of stuff and are excessively rewarded for a fight that could not be made easier. You do this over and over and over. There is no need for parties. So you spend the whole game from level 1 to what I am told is level 35 by yourself doing the same thing over and over. There is NO content for beginning and midlevel characters. No group events, no challenging monsters to fight, no struggle, just the endless "levequests."
Story and Dialogue: I don't know. It seems like every charcter speaks with a different style. I can't make out what half of them mean. The dialogue can go on and on sometimes, it's too lengthy. I just skip through it. A lot of it has to do with obtaining wealth. They talk about wealth a lot.... That's all I can make out. There's also lots of praise.......... I'm not sure what for. The main missions and many sidequests take you from instance to instance. I thought I was supposed to be playing in a persistent world.
Summary and what I would like: The game sucks. How do you spend five years creating this and then a few more editing it. Nothing really matters in the game. To make it more agreeable to my palate it would need to start by creating differences between the different races (and even sexes). From there I would be left in an open world to explore and make choices. No opening cutscene with an NPC fight and then being guided around by the nose. NO instances. Things can be eazy breezy up to level 10 or so but after that I have no desire to run around killing everything in sight. Real danger and adventure in exploring due to monsters that can kill me, not knowing exactly where I am going, and what I will find is exciting. Dying should have real consequences. I don't want a solo RPG. My self esteem isn't low enough that I need an online game just to show off my endgame gear. Mandatory parties would be niiiiiiiice. Lots of other stuff......... I'm tired. Good night.

I recall these reactions quite awhile back when game first released....
To most of us here, and just about anyone who had a clue about FF, we've already known all these things.
So you coming in all of a sudden with OMG WTF is wrong with this game?!!? Is a little funny.
They are overhauling the game. Check their forums or the web for info.

FFXIV 1.0 is no more, so the OPs point is academic, or rather historical, but still, as the old saying goes, those who forget the lessons of history are doomed to make a shitty Japanese mmo.
Every point the OP made was valid, this was the worst ever made, but at the same time very interesting, The reasons for it are complex and involve cultural and corporate issues that span the globe, and the game's rebirth will also be very interesting. Yoshida has just 2 yrs to bring up to date a studio out of touch with industry standards for a decade, and make an mmo that can compete not just with the obvious rivals such as WoW, (who's standards all other mmo where at least aware of) but GW2, SWTOR (shouldn't be difficult) and those coming out such as Wildstar and even some of the sandboxes that may prove popular.
The level of frustration and depression, (even to someone like myself that knew what I was in for), must be used as a benchmark of what not to do, as I hope Alpha testers for ARR are doing right now.
At the very least this one will actually be and mmo, and not whatever the heck that was.

My apologies. After reading this thread over again, i realise that it is outdated. I thought, "why are there reviews in the forum section for a game not already out". Then i saw the dates ... in 2012 just before the game went down.
While i may have been hasting in thinking of these threads as troll threads. I saw 2012 and thought it was a review without even playing or seeing the game. Now after seeing it was posted in October, 1 month before the game was shut down, it makes sense.
Though i still wonder what type of person reviews a game 1 month before it is shut down to be remade because it was bad as if it were actually a serious review of a game that is going to continue. Also you had to have gotten your account before september before they locked the game to new players, so this person either had an account for a long time before reviewing (even though the post says after playing for 2 weeks) , or it is still fishy.
Since this site is relatively young, i am always on the watch for people trying to abuse it. Apologies if i seem to overthink things and look too much into things.

Blasts from the Past - Tuesday's Tip
I found an article about the citizenship course my grandfather was taking on the same page as three stories about the repeal of Prohibition. Another article about a cousin's junior high graduation below a story about the Lindbergh kidnapping. Talk about historical context!
The best part, however, has been sharing some of the articles with my senior relatives. I'm blessed that my father, uncle and aunt who were growing up during those days are tech savy. I've emailed them copies of articles and been delighted with their responses. Phone calls, lengthy emails, quick thumbs ups and thank yous have been coming in. They have shared memories - or the lack thereof - sparked by virtual clippings of property transfers, school performances, wedding announcements or church dances. And they're asking for more! It's been a grand way to spark dialog.
So, today's tip - act as a virtual clipping service for your relatives. Don't inundate them - one or two a week is more than enough. You may learn far more than you imagined!

What a wonderful way to prompt a dialog! I imagine you are "mining" quite a few more gems, just from the conversation starters you've already sent. What a great idea! And now...I'll have to dig up some clippings from that "Nolichucky Roots" region in which we share a common interest...ReplyDelete
I love your suggestion...however, I'm the only tech savvy person, and that's not saying much. Thank for reminding me about Old Fulton NY Postcards, such a great site.ReplyDeleteReplies
You're right, Barbara. It doesn't work so well with the non-techies (and I have those too). I have pulled things up on the computer when visiting, but it's not the same.Delete
This is fantastic! I think you know that putting my ancestors in "historical context" is what I love to do. The contrasts you found in your newspapers are remarkable. I'm glad to hear your relatives enjoyed it, too.ReplyDelete
Neat idea, Susan! I'll have to try this with my in-laws. They're not tech savvy but they do email. Don't you love finding those stories? I went looking for an obituary and got totally absorbed in an account of the Galveston hurricane. What, distracted? Not me!ReplyDelete
Some of my favorite things found using Fulton History were a whole bunch of drawings my now 83-yr-old uncle did as a kid and mailed in to the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. He's an e-mail user, so I sent him links to lots of them, which he liked - he was still very proud of them, 70+ years later.ReplyDeleteReplies
Exactly, Katie! My family are having a blast with the clippings. That alone is worth the moments it take to share them.Delete

My folks have gotten alittle bit of tech-savvyin the last couple of years.ReplyDelete
I send them stuff by email, they download and review, and then call me up to talk to me about it.
Step by step, I suppose.

I love interacting with our Twitter followers, giving them sneak peeks of things I am working on for Alfred at that particular moment in time. Screenshots of upcoming features, keeping the change log up-to-date, discussing future ideas. However, this poses a bit of a problem.
Alfred is under heavy development and currently releases very regularly with pre-releases every 2 to 3 weeks and a general beta release every 4 to 5 weeks… Even so, posting these tidbits brings a response that I would liken to when I was younger, gently and methodically prodding the back of my dad's seat on a car journey…
While I absolutely LOVE the enthusiasm from the users for Alfred's development, creating and releasing native software isn't an easy thing. Just because a screenshot looks complete doesn't mean it's ready for everybody to use. The UI may not even be wired up or functional, or it may have quirky or missing behaviour, resulting in software that does not yet work properly.
I pride myself on the quality and stability of my releases so I simply will not release something until I am entirely happy that YOU, our fantastic users, will also be happy with it… I re-learnt this lesson 100 times over by releasing the iTunes mini player too early. I spent more time supporting this unfinished feature by email than I did trying to improve it for the 0.7.1 release.
After spending all this effort making the cake, the last thing you want to do is take it out of the oven too early and ruin it.
With that in mind, just remember that I have big plans for Alfred, and even BIGGER plans for the Powerpack. Be patient and don't make me get the cake out too early, as it will be oh so much more delicious when it's ready. :)

Day One Results (PDF)
NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - Cal State Northridge had a solid opening day of the Multi-Event competition as the 2013 Big West Outdoor Championships kicked off Friday at the Matador Track & Field Complex.
On a warm afternoon on a fast track, both the Matador men and women had several season-best performances as CSUN seeks points heading into the main portion of the meet next weekend.
The Matadors' Derrick Harris led the decathlon for a portion of day one while Stephanie Hicks sat atop the heptathlon competition for a time on Friday as well. Both wound up the day in fourth-place but are right in the thick of things heading into Saturday's final afternoon of competition.
In the decathlon, Harris scored a day one total of 3,684 points as he PR'd in three of the five events. He finished first in the 100 meters in a personal-best 10.76 then followed that up with another personal-best in the long jump of 22-3 (6.79).
