The present invention relates to a method and device employing a wicking system which allows continuous and controlled sanitization and deodorization.
Chlorine dioxide has been found to be an especially effective disinfectant. As used herein, the term "disinfecting" shall be used to include sanitizing, deodorizing, sterilizing, or otherwise destroying or reducing germ populations. The term "germs" as used herein shall include bacteria, yeasts, molds, viruses or any micro-organism whose presence, and numbers, are deemed inimical to human or animal welfare. Its use has been found to be particularly advantageous where microbes and/or organic odorants are sought to be controlled on and around foodstuffs, as chlorine dioxide functions without the formation of undesirable side products such as chloramines or chlorinated organic compounds that can be produced when elemental chlorine is utilized for the same or similar purposes.
Additionally, at concentrations which have been found to be effective for deodorization and for most antimicrobial applications, chlorine dioxide gas is also generally considered as safe for human contact because the concentrations required are so low.
Certain difficulties are encountered with the use of chlorine dioxide in practice, however. Chlorine dioxide gas can be toxic to humans at concentrations greater than 1,000 ppm and it can be explosive at concentrations above about 0.1 atmosphere. Therefore, chlorine dioxide gas is not manufactured and shipped under pressure like other industrial gases, and conventional methods of on-site manufacture require not only expensive generation equipment but also high levels of operator skill to avoid generating dangerously high concentrations. These problems have substantially limited the use of chlorine dioxide to large commercial applications, such as water treatment and poultry processing, where the consumption of chlorine dioxide is sufficiently large that it can justify the capital and operating costs of expensive equipment and skilled operators for on-site manufacture. However, it is not practical to ship chlorine dioxide as a concentrated gas to the medium or small users.
It has thus become common practice to employ a chlorine dioxide-liberating compound such as sodium chlorite powder which is much safer from the standpoints of storage, shipping and handling. Generation of the chlorine dioxide from sodium chlorite or other chlorine dioxide liberating compound is usually effected by addition of acid, bleach (hypochlorite), or chlorine to the chlorine dioxide liberating compound.
However, the composition obtained from the interaction of the relatively high concentrations of sodium chlorite and acid materials used can be injurious to health. Significantly, the toxicity problem imposes severe limitations on the general utility of the disinfectant composition, particularly with respect to the treatment of human beings.
Methods have been developed in an attempt to overcome the aforementioned problems, but improved methods of generating chlorine dioxide on a small scale are still desired.
The present invention relates to methods and devices for providing a sanitizing gas, a sanitizing liquid, or both, to locations which are difficult to reach, in particular drains for water flow systems which can plug with mildew and mold, and head spaces for beverage machines and automatic ice making units, for example, which have areas which are difficult to clean and sanitize using standard methods. The methods and devices of the present invention find utility for providing a continuous and controlled treatment of such locations.
In one aspect, the present invention relates to. devices and methods for providing a sanitizing gas, a sanitizing liquid, or both, by reacting a first liquid chemical component and a second liquid chemical component in a reservoir to produce a gaseous sanitizing/deodorizing composition, a liquid sanitizing/deodorizing composition, or both. The device includes at least a first container for the first liquid chemical component and at least on reservoir wherein the liquid components are brought into contact. The first liquid chemical component is provided to the reservoir through the use of a wick or other capillary means. The second liquid chemical component may be provided in the reservoir, or may also be provided to the reservoir from a second container through the use of a wick or other capillary means.
This device is particularly suitable for the production of chlorine dioxide wherein the acidic component is provided in excess either in the reservoir, or by wicking through the use of a wick which is larger than that employed for wicking of a metal chlorite composition.
In another aspect, the present invention relates to methods and devices for the production of controlled quantities of chlorine dioxide at concentrations which are effective to function as a deodorant or a germicide. Aqueous chlorite compositions such as aqueous sodium chlorite are brought into contact at a controlled rate through capillary means, e.g. a wick or a capillary tube, with an acidic liquid composition which will react with the chlorite and form chlorine dioxide.
The acidic liquid composition may either be kept stationary in a reservoir wherein the aqueous chlorite composition is "dripped" into the acidic liquid composition through the use of a wick or capillary tube, for example, or the acidic liquid composition may also be transported by capillary action to the common reservoir wherein the acidic liquid composition and the metal chlorite composition can start reacting.
The reacting mixture may produce a gas which may be released into an enclosure such as an ice machine head space for deodorizing and sanitizing, and may also produce a liquid sanitizing and deodorizing composition which may be released into the drain of a water flow system such as an ice bin drain and/or a floor drain for the automatic ice making unit.
Other systems which employ the use of a drain include wet bars, beverage machines, and so forth.
The reacting mixture may be brought into contact with a drain through the use of gravitational forces through an overflow outlet, by siphoning, by dripping through a small outlet port or tube, and so forth.
In another aspect, the present invention relates to a sanitizing and/or deodorizing system including a first container for holding a first liquid composition including at least one acidic compound, a second container for holding a second liquid composition including at least one compound capable of reacting with the acidic compound to form a sanitizing compound, and a reservoir equipped with an outlet port and/or vent. The first container further has a first conduit extending from the first container to the reservoir with a wick disposed in the conduit for transporting the first liquid to the reservoir. The second container further has a second conduit extending from the second container to the reservoir with a second wick disposed in the second conduit for transporting the second liquid to the reservoir.
Alternatively, the second liquid may be provided in the reservoir in molar excess to the first liquid and the first liquid provided to the reservoir from the first container to the reservoir by the capillary action of a wick.
From the reservoir, the liquid sanitizing mixture may be allowed to exit via an overflow outlet in the reservoir by gravitational forces through a conduit and to the location which is selected for treatment.
The reservoir may also be vented or otherwise open to the atmosphere above it where it may be used to deodorize/sanitize enclosed spaces.
In one embodiment of this invention, the device is employed to continuously treat a drain with a sanitizing composition to prevent a build-up of mold or mildew which may result in a clogged drain.
In one embodiment, the device is employed to continuously provide controlled amounts of gas to the head space of an automatic ice making unit.
The present invention finds particular utility for treating areas which are otherwise difficult to access. The present invention finds particular utility for the treatment of drains for water flow systems wherein mold and mildew may build up causing clogging of the drains.
Furthermore, the present invention is particularly advantageous for treating smaller, enclosed spaces because a gaseous deodorizing/sanitizing composition may be produced in some embodiments. For example, small amounts of chlorine dioxide gas may be generated over a sustained period of time in amounts as low as about 0.5 to about 1.5 ppm. For some applications it is desirable to generate amounts as low as about 0.1 to about 0.5 ppm and more suitably about 0.1 to about 0.3 ppm. The latter range is particularly advantageous for treating the head space above the sump in an automatic ice making machine.
Other sanitizing compositions include quaternary ammonium compounds and peracetic acid, for example.
In another aspect, the present invention relates to a method of treating a drain for a device having a water flow system including the step of selectively transporting a liquid deliming and sanitizing composition from a reservoir to the drain by the capillary action of a wick, by dripping, or by siphoning of said liquid composition.
The liquid deliming and/or sanitizing composition may be provided to the reservoir by the capillary action of a wick from a first container and/or second container. The deliming composition may be acidic and the sanitizing composition may include a metal chlorite.
In another aspect, the present invention relates to a method of treating the head space in equipment having an automatic water circulation system including the steps of providing an acidic aqueous composition in a reservoir and selectively transporting an aqueous metal chlorite composition to the acidic aqueous composition by capillary action of a wick or other capillary means. Chlorine dioxide gas is emitted to said head space.
The device and method of the present invention may be employed in combination with the device and method as described in commonly assigned copending U.S. pat. No. 6619051/DUAL CLEANING AND SANITIZING SYSTEM incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
Other variations and modifications of the present invention will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art by the following embodiments described in detail below.
While this invention may be embodied in many different forms, there are described in detail herein specific embodiments of the invention. This description and the drawings described herein, are an exemplification of the principles of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention to the particular embodiments illustrated. Variations and modifications will become readily apparent to those of skill in the art and are intended to be encompassed within the scope of this invention.
Turning now to the figures,
The type of wick employed may be any standard cotton string or candle wick, for example. The candle wicks suitable may range in wick size from about 0.1 g/foot to about 0.5 g/foot including sizes of about 0.3 g/foot and about 0.4 g/foot.
A device similar to the one described above is found in U.S. Pat. No. 3,334,789 the entire content of which is incorporated by reference herein.
In the embodiment described above, the first chamber 15 may contain an acidic deliming composition such as LIME-A-WAY� available from Ecolab, Inc. in St. Paul, MN, and the second chamber 17 may contain an aqueous sodium chlorite sanitizing composition. LIME-A-WAY� is a phosphoric acid based delimer available from Ecolab, Inc. in St. Paul, MN. Phosphoric acid is suitable for use because it not hazardous for contact with food. Other examples of useful delimers include, but are not limited to: sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, citric acid, and so forth.
An excess amount of acid may be transported from first chamber 15 to reservoir 23 by the capillary action of a wick 19 along with the sodium chlorite from second chamber 17 to reservoir 23 by the capillary action of a wick 21. Wick 19 is desirably larger than wick 21 in order to provide an excess amount of acid over sodium chlorite. A reaction begins in reservoir 23 between the sodium chlorite and the acid wherein chlorine dioxide in both a gaseous and a liquid state, is produced. This reaction may be represented by the following general formula:
Once the level of the acid/sodium chlorite mixture has reached an overflow level above outlet 26, the aqueous chlorine dioxide containing composition may then exit through outlet 26 and proceed by gravitational forces through overflow tube 27 to drain 31 shown in
Chlorine dioxide gas may also escape through the top 41 of reservoir 23. Alternatively, a vent (not shown) may be provided in the top 41 of the reservoir 23. In this fashion, chlorine dioxide gas may be used as an antimicrobial agent to treat the head space of an enclosed area such as in a beverage machine, ice machine, or the like. This is particularly advantageous for treating areas, such as corners, or behind equipment parts, which are otherwise difficult to access for cleaning.
Chlorine dioxide is particularly suitable for use herein because it partitions itself in both the gas phase and the liquid phase. Chlorine dioxide partitions at a ratio of about 5 ppmv (partial volume) in air and about 1 mg/liter in water under cold water conditions. This partitioning effect allows for sanitization of areas that are difficult to reach with a liquid, i.e. the non-wetted areas. For example, in high humidity and temperature, mold, yeast, fungi, and other microbes may build in head space areas of equipment, such as ice machines, where it is difficult to access for cleaning purposes. Such partitioning makes chlorine dioxide particularly suitable to sanitize the head space of an ice machine, for instance.
However, this is not to say that other sanitizers may not be employed in a liquid state for treatment of drains, for example. Such other useful sanitizers include, but are not limited to: a quaternary ammonium composition, a peracetic acid composition, and so forth.
The entire device 10 may be manufactured such that it is disposable when the reactants have been depleted. Alternatively, chambers 15, 17 may be removable such that they can be easily restocked, for example, or each chamber may simply be replenished with acid and/or sanitizer. As an excess of acid is required, it may be desirable to provide a larger chamber 15.
The above device may be optionally equipped with a battery operated alarm, or LED, which is capable of indicating when one and/or both reactants have been depleted.
In another embodiment as shown in
Alternatively, overflow tube 27 may be equipped with an additional branch conduit 37 which drains directly into the floor drain 33, as shown. Overflow tube 27 may be used alone or in combination with branch conduit 37.
As an excess of acid is desirable, the wick 19 employed for transporting the acid to the reservoir 23 is desirably of a larger grade than the wick 21 employed for transporting the chlorite source to the reservoir 23.
Additionally, reservoir 23 may be configured such that it is open to the head space 40 of the ice machine 50 as shown in this embodiment allowing chlorine dioxide gas to escape and treat areas in the head space 40, such as the corners, which are typically difficult to reach using standard cleaning methods. The head space 40 is also conducive for formation of microbial growth such as molds and fungus due to the presence of moisture, and it is also warmer than other parts of the ice machine 50.
The ice bin drain 31 could be arranged such that it is directly over the floor drain 33 or it may be connected to the floor drain 33 via a plumbing conduit 35 as shown in this embodiment. In this manner, both the ice bin drain 31 and the floor drain 33 are treated with chlorine dioxide. This will help to prevent clogging of the drains 31,33 by the build up of mold and fungus in those areas. Mold and fungus tend to propagate in moist areas such as drains for water flow systems.
While in this embodiment, the device is shown in combination with an ice machine, the invention certainly may find utility to treat drains for any water flow system.
The device of the present invention may be advantageously used in combination with other treatment systems for water flow systems such as those described in copending attorney docket number E14.2-9863, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,752,393, and in U.S. Pat. No. 5,289,691, for example, each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. The present invention is useful for treating areas where a build-up of mold and mildew may occur such as moist areas. Such build-up may be compounded if the area is also warm.
The present invention is particularly advantageous for treating drains for water flow systems.
The device of the present invention may also find utility for deodorizing in small areas such as athletic lockers, food storage containers, walk-in freezers, storage closets such as those for cleaning products, and so forth. In such applications where only deodorizing is required, no outlet 26 or overflow tube 27 are required.
The above disclosure is intended for illustrative purposes only and is not exhaustive. The embodiments described therein will suggest many variations and alternatives to one of ordinary skill in this art. All these alternatives and variations are intended to be included within the scope of the attached claims. Those familiar with the art may recognize other equivalents to the specific embodiments described herein which equivalents are also intended to be encompassed by the claims attached hereto.
The following non-limiting examples further illustrate the present invention.
A device similar to that shown in
The bottle was placed on a balance and monitored over time. The following data was collected.
The same procedure was followed as in Example 1 with the exception that the 0.13 g/foot cotton string was not doubled in this experiment. The data found in the following Table 2 was collected. The device was found to provide about 0.05 oz/day.
It was noted that as the level of product drops in the chamber, the distance that the product needs to travel up the wick is farther and it appears to slow down the rate of dispensing.
A device according to the present invention was tested in Manitowoc Automatic Ice Making Unit. A wick feed available from Clack Corp. using a medium size candle wick of 0.313 g/foot was filled with a sodium chlorite composition at a concentration of about 6% sodium chlorite. This dispenser was found to dispense about 0.40-0.50 oz/day according to the following data.
The dispenser was installed on the top of a Manitowoc Automatic Ice Making Unit and the feed tube was fed through a hole into a 400 ml disposable beaker which was mounted on the inside wall of the ice machine. The beaker contained 50 g of LIME-A-WAY�. The liquid chlorite solution was dripped into the 400 ml beaker. The amount of chlorine dioxide was then monitored in the head space of the ice machine. The following results were obtained.
The acid/chlorite mixture was also analyzed for chlorine dioxide in solution by diluting 25 ml at a ratio of 10:1. The concentration of chlorine dioxide was found to be 0.79 ppm and the original solution thus had 7.9 ppm chlorine dioxide.
The same test was repeated and continued for a longer period of time with the following results.
The amount of sodium chlorite contained in the Clack Dispenser was dropped to the "low level" line between Day 4 and Day 5 to determine if the delivery rate dropped significantly. As can be seen from the data, the rate did drop off some, but was still acceptable.

Digest of Dr. Herbert's Monthly Audio CME Series: Sepsis Update
1. Sepsis Update
Dr. Robert Rodriguez reviews the approach that we should all have for sepsis, the first of which is the rapid identification and stratification of sepsis (see sepsis classification). Elevated lactate levels >4 mg/dl denote a poor prognosis and a six fold mortality increase. ED lactate clearance (over 6h) has been shown to be a good predictor of adequate resuscitation and beneficial effects on mortality. Accurate assessment of the patient's stage of sepsis is important in determining the patient's prognosis and therapies. Patients usually do not die in the ED from sepsis (except in Crash syndrome-see below), but rather later in their course from MODS (Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome). This is the final common pathway in the sepsis cascade and is the #1 cause of death in the ICU. Early and aggressive resuscitation can help circumvent the multi-organ damage seen from MODS. This is where Early Goal Directed Therapy comes into play. The goal for MAP is between 65-90. CVP should be maximized at 8-12 and SVO2 ≥ 70%. A simple central line, rather than special catheters can be used to measure these last two values. Broad spectrum antibiotics should be given early, ideally less than one hour. Norepinephrine remains the vasopressor of choice followed by Dopamine. Vasopressin can then be added at a low fixed dose (0.03 u/min) if MAP <65. Steroids remain controversial but should be considered in low doses (Hydrocortisone 50mg q6) in the patient that is persistently hypotensive after institution of pressors.

2. Crash Syndrome in Sepsis
Patients with sepsis do not usually die in the emergency department, but rather succumb to their disease after a prolonged ICU course. The exception to this is patients with certain diseases known as the Crash syndrome:
Asplenic pneumonia: At risk for life-threatening S. pneumoniae pneumonia
Liver failure and anything: At risk for Vibrio infections
MRSA pneumonia: Consider adding Vancomycin to any pneumonia patient that is ill appearing
Necrotizing fasciitis: WBC count may be useful in this disease process, rarely do these patients have a normal WBC
Neutropenic fever

3. Can probiotics help prevent C. difficile colitis?
Any antibiotic that we give can cause antibiotic-associated diarrhea and clostridium difficile colitis. There is an increasing concern because C. difficile is now more common and has a more virulent toxin that can lead to toxic megacolon and death. Probiotics are becoming more common in the media and internet, some of the most popular being Saccharomyces, Lactobacillus and L. acidophilus. The theory of how probiotics function is that they introduce microorganisms into the GI tract that adhere to the intestinal mucosa and therefore decrease bacterial overgrowth. A recent meta-analysis of 25 randomized controlled trials for prophylaxis of diarrhea from antimicrobials using probiotics showed a 50% reduction in antibiotic associated diarrhea. Unfortunately, this benefit was not seen with C. difficile colitis and more studies are needed to examine their effect. Also, there was no standardized probiotic product or dosing across these studies, which makes specific recommendations difficult. As Dr. Sacchetti notes, probiotics are relatively safe and simple to administer with very little downside and therefore a reasonable adjunct to any patient that you are prescribing antibiotics.

4. New treatment recommendations for PID
Dr. Greg Moran reviews treatment for STDs including the new recommendations for PID. As clinicians, we should have a low threshold to diagnose and treat PID because of the high long term morbidity associated with this disease. Not only does PID increase infertility, but it can also increase the risk for ectopic pregnancy because of scarring of the fallopian tubes. Therefore, the CDC recommends "treatment for sexually active young women and other women at risk for STDs if they are experiencing pelvic or lower abdominal pain, if no cause for the illness other than PID can be identified, and if one or more of the following minimum criteria are present on pelvic examination: cervical motion tenderness OR uterine tenderness OR adnexal tenderness." Simple outpatient therapy consists of Ceftriaxone 250mg IM plus Doxy 100 PO BID x14d +/- Metronidazole 500 po bid x 14d. Levofloxacin 500 mg daily can be substituted for Ceftriaxone in the case of a penicillin allergy. Because of the high morbidity associated with PID, prevalence of subclinical cases, and benignity of therapy, antibiotics may be indicated in high risk women even if minimal criteria not met.

John Matarese looks into Apple's missing school promotion
(NASDAQ AAPL) Apple iPhone struggles to gain ground in China
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Apple may be ecstatic about the landmark $1 billion patent war it won against Samsung, but a recent report shows that Apple is a lightweight contender in a much more crucial battleground.
Apple's share of the Chinese smartphone market was just a measly 7.5% during the first half of 2012, according to IHS iSuppli. That put the company in seventh place, behind Samsung (No. 1), Nokia (No. 5) and a host of native brands, including Lenovo, Coolpad, Huawei and ZTE.
That's not a position Apple is accustomed to -- in nearly every other region of the world where it sells iPhones, Apple is in either first or second place.
Seventh certainly not where the company wants to be in the critical Chinese market. China is set to become the largest smartphone market in the world later this year, IHS iSuppli says, with 160 million devices expected to ship by the end of 2012. That's more than double the 67 million smartphones that were shipped in 2011. Next year, the analysis firm expects the Chinese market to grow by another 26%, topping 200 million smartphones.
If Apple wants to grab a larger slice of that rapidly growing pie, it may have to make some concessions to Chinese consumers.
Price is a big issue -- the iPhone is a big-ticket item by Chinese standards. Phones aren't commonly subsidized by wireless carriers in China like they are in the United States, putting a top-tier device like the iPhone outside the price range of many Chinese consumers.
For those customers who would have to save up months of paychecks to purchase an iPhone, many instead opt for an array of pre-owned devices and knock-offs, which are widely popular in China.
But Apple CEO Tim Cook has said that the company has no plans to offer a less feature-rich device to compete with lower-cost smartphone manufacturers in the country.
"I firmly believe that people in the emerging markets want great products like they do in developed markets," Cook told analysts on a conference call in July. "And so we're going to stick to our knitting and make the best products. And we think that if we do that, we've got a very, very good business ahead of us."
Another strategy could be to develop an iPhone compatible with China Mobile's network, which has nearly 700 million subscribers.
"Among all the international smartphone brands competing in China, Apple is the only one not offering a product that complies with [China Mobile's] air standard," said Kevin Wang, the IHS report's author, in a press release. "For Apple, this is a huge disadvantage."
There have been rumblings and rumors of negotiations between China Mobile and Apple for years, but nothing has come of those talks yet.
Still, it's not an insurmountable problem for Apple. No single smartphone maker has a dominant lead in China -- No. 1 Samsung controls only 21% of the market.
Another research firm, IDC, is reporting somewhat rosier numbers for Apple. IDC puts Apple in fourth place -- not seventh -- with 10.1% of the Chinese smartphone market. That's still far behind Samsung (19%), but much closer to Lenovo (11%) and ZTE (10.4%).
"When you get right down to it, China is a gigantic freaking market," said Ramon Llamas, analyst at IDC. "And to have double-digit market share is a testament to the strength of your brand and your devices. It's something that's not born overnight."
In such a huge market, even 7.5% market share, he noted, is worth billions.
"Apple is in a very golden position right now, in that it's a hot brand and a lot of people want it," said Llamas. "There are a ton of vendors who don't even have one percent market share. They would love to have 10.1% market share."

Your sartorial mantra should begin and end with "layers." Technical undergarments that wick away sweat are a good foundation, but it's the final layer that matters most. If rain is in the forecast (check online before departure day), pack a synthetic, water-resistant jacket that covers the thighs – consider Madame de Pé's chic, functional designs – or go the budget route with a plastic rain poncho that costs less than a fiver at most bike shops.
The Eyewear
Keep midsummer sunshine out of your eyes with a sturdy pair of impact-resistant, UV-protective lenses. Oakley's offerings span the spectrum from sporty to dinner-with-the-queen appropriate.
The Lights
In some cities – Paris, for one – you're legally obliged to light up your bike after dark. Pack a pair of lightweight, compact, USB-chargeable (for example, Blackburn) lights to play it safe and legal, wherever you roll.
The Bag
A mesh-backed backpack does double duty by equally distributing weight across your back while keeping it perspiration-free. Deuter and Ortlieb offer designs that lean toward the sporty-but-über-functional side. Rental bike come with a basket? Pack a bungee cord to strap down your valuables.
The Shoes
With standard pedals, the shoe style is less important that the sturdiness of its sole. Pack footwear that offers a solid stride for walking and you'll get the same firm feel on your bike. Treating your shoes with a weatherizing product will help repel water in inclement weather, and stuffing them with socks and other soft items makes the most of your suitcase space.
Less is more!

PLATTSBURGH — The Champlain Valley Transportation Museum is abuzz with activity as museum personnel prepare to take its contents out of hibernation for the museum's opening day on Tuesday, April 2.
Richard "Dick" Soper and his co-operator, Fundraising and Membership Director Lisa LaFountain, are also gearing up for an opening day celebration to be held April 20 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the museum grounds.
The celebration will feature go-kart rides for kids and various hot rods will also be on display. The cost is $5 for general admission and $4 for students and seniors with valid ID.
The Champlain Valley Transportation Museum's history begins in 2000 with its founder, Dr. Anthony Vaccaro, MD, and his purchase of a Lozier, an expensive, high-end car made in Plattsburgh at the turn of the century by the now-defunct Lozier Motor Company.
If you go
What: Champlain Transportation Museum's opening day
Where: 12 Museum Way, Plattsburgh
When: Tuesday, April 2 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
"With his idea in the beginning here, the initial plan was to have a museum and put all of the Loziers in it, until he found out that Loziers are extremely rare cars and are worth a lot of money," Soper said. "So how can you buy a whole bunch of really rare old cars? That was the first thing."
From then on, it was decided that the museum would still exist, but include other forms of transportation besides Loziers.
Today, there are 34 cars on display—from a replica of a 1903 Oldsmobile to a 1981 home-built electric town car—a boat exhibit, more than 750 die-cast models of vehicles including trains, fire trucks and boats, and a Vulcan locomotive that children can climb on.
There is a lot to see, but none of the vehicles are owned by the museum.

Went there on a Saturday night and what can I say, what restaurant isn't loud, busy, and energetic then? If you're looking for a quite place check it out on the weekdays. I'm sure that's more of your cup of tea. Over all this restaurant is legit. It offers what you see with no hidden surprises. The menu is quite large in my opinion with lots of selection and fresh sushi. However the menu could use some "adventurous" stuff for some people but I'm guessing the main crowd here is older mainline folks that eat chicken, salmon or pad thai. Nothing wrong with that, but if you're looking for cod sperm, blow fish, or anything of that nature look elsewhere. This menu is for the general crowd but very good in what it does. All in all I'd go back again because it's semi close, free parking, cool decor, good service, solid menu, and you don't have to deal with traffic on 76!! In closing and in response to the previous post, I myself love bread and cold butter with salt before my meal. NEVER do I expect to get bread, especially in an Asian inspired restaurant. If you want bread, go to Acme and buy some. If you want Gourmet bread go to Le bus.

Umm? What is going on here? A kiddy bebop place o the ground floor and above a stuffy, Asian Fusion Restaurant, which is gaudy and post modern, all at the same time. You really do not get much on your plate for the prices they are offering. There seems to be specials, but if you do not get there early enough, they will have ran out of the specials. From soup to nuts and sushi in between this place is shameful. The service is deplorable and the management seems aloof and uncaring. This place is no POD or MORIMOTO. It pretends to be, but at least make a better effort if that's how high you are shooting. The food comes in such odd servings, as someone at the table could be served their main dish, while another is being served their sushi course. So my friend will be just getting their main course, when I am finished and thinking of maybe coffee or dessert. I had gone in again recently. This other couple, just had to try the place and we thought maybe things had changed in half a year, but NO: nothing has changed at all. Oh, BTW, the place doesn't offer bread on the table because they are schizophrenic and think they are from Japan. I'm not from Japan and I like dinner rolls.

I just had lunch here at the recommendation of a friend. The food was so phenomenal, I ended up ordering a second Philly Roll. The Philly Roll looks like a regular sushi roll with shrimp inside and paper thin beef (cooked) over the top with a gruyere sauce and eel sauce. SOOOO GOOOD! I found the prices really good for the level of ambience, service and quality of food. To give you any idea, the former restaurant was rumored to have spent nine million dollars to build out the space (plus the downstairs which is not a part of Azie.) The sushi rolls were mostly under $10, except the super big rolls. All of the food here was incredibly delicious, I will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful dinner on a Sunday night. Oysters,halibut and miso black cod. All were delicious and the service was great. Our waiter was pleasant, helpful and very personable. Prices were average for a good restaurant. We look forward to going back again.
Posted by Not Happy on 08/13/2009
The service was not terrible but the food is extremely overpriced and not excellent. The steak i ordered was 95% fat, over seasoned, and not edible. I sent the steak back and they refused to take the steak off of the bill. I will NEVER return to azie on main.
Posted by Friday night out on 08/12/2009
We stumbled onto Azie on their opening night -- a fiercely stormy Friday night that almost discouraged us from exiting the car. But we were later VERY glad that we did -- the food was terrific (best calamari tempura with chile sauce, ever, anywhere; melt-in-your mouth salmon, delightful rendition of a cheescake that is better than a cheesecake (!), and beautifully presented. The service was smooth, without being overly solicitous. We were later suprised to find that it was opening night, as the coordination was quite smooth. The only minor negatives: we were first seated at a small table with only a votive to light it -- not enough light for the menu -- so we asked to be moved to the periphery, where there was good lighting. I think the lighting issue was likely a 'first night' phenomenon -- as additional ambient lighting is adjustable (they were tweaking it later in the meal). The miso soup was slightly too salty (even for miso!) -- but all the other dishes were really wonderful. If the quality is maintained, this restaurant will be a serious competitor for Nectar - and the prices are a bit kinder!
Posted by AM on 08/07/2009
We were seated in the cocktail room where we were supposed to have a full dining menu on a small table with large prices. We had a reservation yet they chose to put us in the cocktail room the one without tablecloths, we did not really mind thinking that there will be other people sitting in that room as well, but, no, everyone else was seated in the main dining room. Our waitress the most pushy person, and patronizing too. And to top it all very high prices as in New York prices but on the second level in a flag lot next to Staples in Suburban Philadelphia. I was very disappointed and I was hoping I could send an e mail to the manager so I don't have to post this. It is unfortunate to say that we probably will not visit you again...

Ethan engages Theresa with a kiss, Siren is on her last fins, Chris further manipulates Sheridan and Spike pulls a knife on Luis�
Ethan overhears Theresa say she's falling for Jared, wants to spend the rest of her life with him. After Theresa hangs up the phone, he comes into her office, paying a visit on Julian's behalf. Theresa is furious that Ethan is siding with Julian for getting partial custody. As Ethan goes on about Julian's rights, Theresa's inner voice screams to tell Ethan that's he's little Ethan's father. Theresa tells him she'd do anything for little Ethan to have a real father, but Ethan doesn't follow what she's saying. Theresa wants nothing to do with Julian. Ethan's jealousy comes out when he brings up Theresa bringing Jared into little Ethan's life. He even goes so far as to say that she needs to get rid of Jared, that he'll break her heart! Theresa defends Jared, says that Ethan can't stand that Jared is so right for her. Ethan says he doesn't want her alone and Theresa wants to know who he thinks the right guy is for her. She tells Ethan that he left her for Gwen, now he needs to let her go. Suddenly, Ethan takes her in his arms and engages Theresa with a passionate kiss!
Kay, Endora and Tabitha work to free Fox from Siren's curse. Fox overhears Kay say, "I hope Fox doesn't realize what we're doing," questioning her with Siren by his side. Tabitha covers, saying they were planning a birthday party for both Siren and Fox. When Kay gets Fox to leave the room, Siren sees the spellbook. Kay and Tabitha trick Siren into going in the other room, pouring water on her. When she turns into a Mermaid, they tie her up! When Fox returns, Kay tricks him into putting on a cupid costume, says it's for a daycare center calendar. Fox needs to be the one to shoot Siren with the arrow in order to be free of her curse. With much persuasion, Fox agrees to put on the costume. With their plan in place, Fox in his costume, Kay, Tabitha and Endora are on their way to getting rid of Siren!
Luis and Fancy try figuring out how Spike and Chris are connected. Luis leaves to talk to Spike, telling Fancy to stay at the station, but Fancy follows.
Spike threatens Chris, saying he'll tell Sheridan about their plan. Chris says he'll take the job at Crane as long as Spike keeps his mouth shut. Spike takes off just as Sheridan shows up by Chris's side. Chris now knows he has to take the job at Crane. Sheridan talks to Chris about her new job at Crane, says Gwen was impressed with Chris turning down Sheridan's offer to get him a job. Just then, Chris says he changed his mind, he now wants her to help him get into Crane. Sheridan says he'll be resented by the other employees if she gets him the job, but Chris says he doesn't care. Sheridan agrees to help him.
Luis is hiding behind a door when Spike walks into the storage room. With Spike in a headlock, Luis demands he tells him what happened at the mansion! As Luis strangles Spike, Fancy blows in to stop him. Luis whispers to Fancy to follow his lead, that he knows what he's doing. Spike denies Luis's claims. Luis tell Spike that he knows who he's working with, that his accomplice is talking to the cops as they speak. As Luis leaves, Spike yells for him to stop, says he'll tell him whatever he wants to know. Spike acts as though he's going to tell Luis all, then calls him a sucker, says he has nothing on him! When Spike asks about Pilar, Luis attacks him! Spike pulls a knife out on Luis, but gets his butt kicked! Spike threatens police brutality, says Fancy is his witness. She says she didn't see a thing. Luis and Fancy leave, telling Spike he'll soon be rotting in a jail cell. Back at the station, Luis is impressed with Fancy's cop instincts.
Chris calls Spike to tell him that Sheridan's getting him the job. Spike says as soon as he's in, Chris is going to get him the money he needs.
Next on Passions: Kay and Tabitha need to pull their plan off and Jared tells Chad that Ethan is yesterday's news, that he's Theresa's future.

Many of the Bent Boyz were tomboys as kids, and being mistaken for a boy stung -- or intrigued -- them. Jeanne, on the other hand, was as femme as femme can be, and she stunned her friends when she pulled on men's jeans, skinned her hair back and convinced the world otherwise.
"I don't see identity in such simple categories anymore," she says. "I have a lot of characteristics that aren't so easily classified." For her, being a king isn't about wanting to be a man, but it is a form of self-expression: "Jay Walker's very suave, pretty self-absorbed. He floats through life breaking hearts. That probably is a part of me, one I don't allow myself to indulge very much."
Lauren's first inspiration as Luke came from a 1972 David Bowie song, "Boys Keep Swinging." Bowie did it in female drag, singing that "nothing stands in your way when you're a boy." Lauren reversed the drag, shaving off her wavy blond/brown hair. Now she's letting it grow out, convinced that the illusion comes from mannerisms more than appearance. "I run into a lot of girl things I have to totally turn off," she says, "like talking with my hands and smiling too much."
Those eager, happy, curved-up girl smiles bend a guy's mustache.
Back in first grade -- in what Maureen calls her "confused baby-lesbian days," when she thought she had to be a boy to have girls like her -- she played with people's perceptions, sometimes introducing herself as a boy, sometimes making them guess.
But since she created Mo Faux, gluing on a goatee and packing a bulge, she's started wearing earrings and lip gloss to school.
"I used to feel, 'If I want to be in this box, I can't do anything that is in this other box,'" she says. "Through drag I've found a place with all of that available." Drag queens helped as much as kinging: She used to feel feminist qualms about shaving her legs, until it dawned on her that a drag queen might shave hers, too. In other words, she says, "I can choose.
"I don't think I'd ever want to be a drag king as a career," she adds slowly. "That would mean doing it too much. I like that I can go back to Maureen." She pauses, cocks her head. "I do think everyone should dress in drag at least once, though. Biodrag or genderfuck or something. That way, even if they don't like it, they'll know how it feels to not quite fit in one of the boxes."

- A week ago I was given an easter lily with white trumpet flowers. The plant was very dry, so I watered it, and it dose seem healthy. The blossoms are gone. 1) What, where and when is the best time to plant outside? I would like to plant it in a pot with other flowers. 2) The spot is quite shady, gets a little sun, will it be ok? 3) How should I winterize the plant when it gets cold, so I can have it come out nicely next year? 4) Will it multiply, where I can get other plants? or, How can I plant other starts from the plant? 5) Is there literature on growing easter lilys in Utah? 6) Can I expect blossoms again this summer or fall?
- By the end of June, our apple tree looked sickly, with faded, curling brown leaves. I am wondering if the leaves look the way they do because my husband doesn't spray regularly or because the tree is not getting enough water in our arid climate. When he does stick to a schedule, it seems that the leaves don't look much better. This is a tree that is nearly twenty years old. I have never noticed an infestation of bugs. Apples have gotten smaller and smaller by the year, most have worms. The tree is in our front yard and I really would like it to look healthy, regardless of whether or not we get eatable fruit. What should we do?
- Can I recycle garden waste without composting?
- do ants eat one another?

If you're in the Lexington area Friday night and are looking for some evening plans, make sure you consider checking out the No. 13 ranked volleyball team as they take on North Carolina in the Kentucky Classic, or head over to the UK Soccer Complex as the women's soccer team takes on Eastern Kentucky. Each game starts at 7 p.m., so good luck making that decision.

As far as UK related news goes, here are a few newsworthy items regarding UK Athletics...
- With the addition of two new schools to the SEC, the conference has decided to change the format of the Women's Basketball Tournament for just the second time in SEC history. The tournament will now include all 14 SEC teams and the tournament will be played over a five-day period. The first day will see the 11 and 14 seeds going head to head in the first game, and the rest of the tournament remains relatively unchanged. The 2013 SEC Women's Tournament will be held at the Arena at Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Ga., on March 6-10, 2013.
- After receiving its highest preseason rank in program history at No. 13, the 2012 Kentucky volleyball team checks in at No. 12 in the Volleyball Magazine National Pre-Season Poll. Tennessee and Florida also make the rankings out of the SEC at No. 16 and No. 20 respectively.
- A recent ESPN.com piece ranked the top 50 men's college basketball programs over the last 50 years, and Kentucky came in at No. 3. In short, the writers used a point scale based on overall success of the program and several other contributing factors. Read more about them HERE. Duke and UCLA topped the list just above Kentucky. They also take a look at the best players, best teams and best coaches during that period. Here is a look at their starting five.
50 in 50 starting five (1962-present)
G - Kyle Macy (1977-80)
F - Jamal Mashburn (1990-93)
F - Jack Givens (1974-78)
F - Anthony Davis (2011-12)
C - Dan Issel (1967-70)
- Over the last few years, you have seen some very familiar faces on John Calipari's bench. Scott Padgett, Wayne Turner, Tony Delk have all served on Calipari's staff, and now former Wildcat Marquis Estill will join the staff as an undergraduate assistant Calipari announced Thursday. Estill, 30, played three seasons at Kentucky, amassing 936 points and played on two SEC Championship teams.
- With plenty of familiar faces around the basketball program, once new face has emerged in the form of Kevin Massey, a new student manager. Massey suffered a brain tumor in 2010 before overcoming a dire prognosis, and has now made a recovery that allows him to serve as a manager of the basketball team.

Two men police say chose a school parking lot to conduct drug sales will face harsher punishment for choosing that location if they are convicted.
Darrell I. Fleming, 20, 106 Terrace Court, Apt. 3, and Ian M. Cole, 20, 189 Riverview Road, were each charged with delivering and intent to sell a schedule III controlled substance on school grounds.
Fleming also was charged with resisting arrest, driving without a license, violation of the financial responsibility law and violation of the registration law.
The men were arraigned on the charges Thursday in Washington County Sessions Court. Judge Robert Lincoln appointed attorneys to represent them and set a hearing date for Thursday.
Their arrest came after a citizen called police to report suspicious activity in the parking lot of Town Acres Elementary School, 2310 Larkspur Drive, around noon Wednesday.
When officers approached the vehicle, Fleming reportedly grabbed a yellow baggie and put it in his mouth. A short scuffle between police and Fleming took place when officers tried to make him spit the baggie out.
Fleming was apparently able to get the baggie swallowed, and police said they later overheard him say he shouldn't have done that "because he just cut it last night and now he won't be able to sleep the rest of the day."
Police believe Fleming was referring to crack cocaine when he made the "cutting" remark.
Officers searched the car, but didn't find cocaine. Instead, they located several blue pills with "Watson 540" imprinted on them.
Police believe the men were selling either cocaine or the blue pills, which resulted in the drug sale charge.
Officers seized the pills, $165 cash and the 1985 blue Cadillac Fleming was driving.
Sale of schedule III drugs is a Class C felony and carries three to six years in prison.
When the offense occurs on school grounds or within 1,000 feet of a school, the offense is enhanced to a Class B felony. That carries eight to 12 years in prison and is non-probatable.
Fleming and Cole remain jailed in the Washington County Detention Center — Fleming on $25,000 bond and Cole on a $20,000 bond.

Why take a new name? I think Preparation H suits you just fine.
He has a great arm. How does that mean he can't hit? The kid has a great swing, great bat. He hasn't developed his power stroke yet. Most often, that's the last thing to come for a young hitter who isn't already a power bat.
The kid's a baller, and, lord knows, the Tribe needs some ballers.
BTW, congrats to Francisco and Jesus on your selection to the Futures Game.
Have a great time.
Hey cf,
Good post. It reinforces Manny's remark about the lack of development time in today's Minor Leagues. Everything's about get something out of the kids ASAP. Look at the posts here and elsewhere, where so many complain about 1st year kids not being All-Star type players...look at antwinz06's post. Players learn and grow, plus and minus. It's not Fantasy Central every at bat. It takes even very talented players a few years in the Bigs to become consistent producers. And then, even the best have off years, go through slumps.
I agree, let the kids play, let them learn, sink or swim. The FO being like overly protective parents can achieve the opposite of desired results.
Hey wahoo,
It took Thome a few years to develop his eye AND his power stroke. Let's give Lonnie a little time to work on HIS game. He's showing a very good eye for bat to ball contact right now. I think he'll get better with the strike zone the more he plays, the more he gets familiar with the pitchers. As for walks, the FO seems to value that more than driving in runs. Every lineup needs to have both OBP batters and RBI/Moving Runners Up guys. What good are lots of runners if they're getting stranded time after time? Wish the Tribe had more RBI guys, don't you?
Another oops moment, by de Man Aloft.....
First, I'm not a Shappy fan, either, but he's done a good job in many aspects of the organization, especially the business end. His pre-Grant Draft record is abysmal, and ML player procurement was hit and more miss, but hardly incompetent.
Second, you must have limited experience in the business world if you think that the Peter Principle is not thriving in the US and elsewhere.
You're basing that on the "Grass is Always Greener" Scouting Report?
You being endlessly negative and how the Browns play are two completely different things.
Come on, Rael.....why would the FO have a long term, balanced and integrated plan?
It's better to throw up a pre-fab that looks all nice and shiny than to build a solid foundation, then add step by step. There's no interim excitement in that.
Having to wait a few years to end decades of futility is too much for many to handle.
It's now or never. Or last year, or never. Something like that.
Your very cogent point, Rael, was already in evidence last year. Joe Thomas, D'Qwell, Gocong ..... signed.
To all the "We need Free Agents" crowd, they were soon to be free agents. Would you rather over pay guys from other teams who are not as good, need to learn the Browns' system, maybe not fit in as well with the surrounding players?
Heckert will resign the Hadens, Wards, etc. so they DON'T walk. That's how he's building the team. Not with the Percy Harvins of the NFL.
LOL, mike! New to this site? PD is interesting, for sure.
I found your post interesting. It's like plug and play, interchangeable parts? Remember, football, more than any other sport, requires every position to function well together to achieve success. I think the popularity of Fantasy Sports has clouded the minds of many fans who think players are just independent stats machines. So and so had 74 receptions last year, get him and you can plug in 74 receptions this year. Doesn't work like that.
I think you'll see a major jump in WR play with the offense improving, better coaching, better training camp, better QB play, and Greg Little making strides from a generally successful rookie season.
The Browns might look at a late camp cut depending on who is available, but I think it's more likely the WR position will be addressed fairly early in the 2013 Draft.
Hey Ben,
Love your new ID and pic!
Bashing Marecic again? Is that the currency for the Grumpy Old Men set here now?
Hey sd -
Best post on Fujita this year.
Yes, he's a hypocrite, same as half the pro athletes everywhere.
These guys are convinced by the time they leave college that they're above the crowd. Kinda hard not to, the way they're glorified by media, fans, friends, family for years and years. They learn the skills of sports speak and appearance is everything. Sports PC all the way. Sound humble...it looks good. Drop some religious reference, makes you sound REALLY humble.....as if some deity is concerned with whether you catch a pass, go deep, throw down, hold up a trophy....
Wow....had to pull myself up off the floor!
Best post I've read from you. Accurate, thoughtful, not dripping with negativity for it's own sake.
Good call on the backup issue. Don't have to be a mentor. Work together, be team players.
Strock was a fine QB and a great team player. Like Frank Reich, Earl Morrall, Jim Plunkett, George Blanda.....
That was in reply to Preparation H's post on the backup QB relationships.
Uh, Matt -
The Browns just DID bring in a "big tall stud with an accurate cannon". Feel better now?
Thad's been the same height for about 5 years now. No news there.
Hey Texas -
Right on.
I think Scott Radinsky deserves MAJOR props for his tireless work with Masterson and Jimenez, who both have over the top stuff and trouble controlling/repeating their delivery. They both are beginning to look much more consistent, pitch to pitch, inning to inning. Now if the game to game consistency is there, watch out.

Canzler and Goedert haven't had a chance yet. They might be more of the same, but who knows for sure at this point?
Duncan's become too painful to watch. More bad habits than a hurricane stricken convent.
Will LaPorta ever get another regular opportunity with the Tribe? Antonetti's tea leaves indicate not.
hey jcu,
It's taken a lot more work than crossing fingers for Ubaldo to get to this point. He and Radinsky have been putting in many hours of analysis and practice to get the kinks worked out in Ubaldo's very kinky delivery.
He still has a way to go, but the progress certainly is noticeable.

Precision Dairy 2013 was the first-ever Precision Dairy Conference and Expo held in the United States. The event took place in Rochester, Minnesota on June 26 and 27 with a pre-conference farm tour on June 25. Conference attendees numbered over 540 with 24 countries, 25 U.S. states, and 4 Canadian provinces represented. This very successful event received many positive comments from participants and exhibitors.
The conference program included the latest research abstracts, national and international speakers who are experts in the field of precision technology, and panels of producers who are using robotic milking, sensors and automated calf feeders.
The Expo provided an excellent opportunity to see first-hand what companies have to offer in the growing and exciting field of precision technologies and equipment. Company representatives were on site to give demonstrations, provide information, answer questions, and discuss the advantages of using precision technology on the farm.
Please be sure to visit Sponsors and Exhibitors of Precision Dairy 2013. This event would not have been possible without their commitment and support. We thank you!
The Proceedings of Precision Dairy 2013 is available for purchase in Print and/or on Flash Drive. Go to Order the Proceedings for more information.
Precision dairy management involves the use of sensors to collect information automatically, and the use of robotics and other automation to deliver labor and management tasks automatically, resulting in reduced labor and management time and improved productivity and profitability.

New York's attorney general is giving police agencies in 23 counties across the state nearly $580,000 to help buy new or replacement bulletproof vests.
The first awards in the program, using funds from criminal and civil forfeitures, include $157,000 for 375 vests in Erie County, more than $90,000 for 234 in Monroe County and $160,000 for 272 vests in Albany County.
In June, Schneiderman pledged $3.5 million from forfeitures to help outfit police statewide to fill the funding gap in a federal grant program.
A spokesman for the attorney general says the office is set to approve about $2.8 million in matching funding to 147 agencies statewide to buy more than 7,800 vests.

Thank you for the opportunity to introduce our Podiatry in home service. The Home Foot Care Services (LLC) team provides our patients with top quality care and hands-on approach to Podiatry. Instead of waiting in traffic, doctor's offices, paying tolls and taking time off, our team of doctors come to your home in New Jersey (NJ). We work around your schedule and will come to your place of residence at a time convenient for you.
The concept of in home foot care was born when our Doctors noticed that many of their elderly patients were unable to keep their regular office appointments due to difficulties arranging transportation and/or due to challenges caused by their overall physical state. As a result, when they did visit, their foot conditions were escalated to a very serious level. By arranging house calls, our mobile foot doctors are able to follow up with patients on a regular basis and provide necessary care when needed. We emphasize prevention, because many infections, amputations, and hospitalizations can be prevented by a simple podiatry house call.
Our visiting Foot Doctors are equipped with all of the necessary instruments to handle most every condition we see in "office" practice. They do the trimming of hard to cut toenails, ingrown nail surgery, diabetic and pressure ulcers care, and treatment of gout, lower extremity infections, foot and ankle sprains and even fractures. Home Foot Care Services can order x-rays, bacterial cultures, and diagnostic ultrasound all at bedside. We also offer durable medical equipment, such as extra depth shoes, custom made insoles, prosthetics and gait assisting devices.
In addition to English, our staff speaks Russian and Spanish. Note: A Chinese interpreter is also available upon request.

I have owned this tent for less than a year; I have used it probably a half dozen times backpacking. I always have it staked down and guyed out properly and have noticed that the tent leaks the last couple times I have used it. It is not a major leak but water is coming in from the top. Should I purchase silnet and apply it to the rainfly? I am confused on the answers that were provided. Thanks.
Ryan Hamilton
Most tents tend to leak somewhere on some seams after a bit of use. Get some seam sealer and re-cover everything.
Peter B.
Less than a year? Return it. It should not leak, unless you set it up improperly.

Despite what you may think, overall I did have a lot of fun in the first weeks. But now, in the last week or so, I suddenly feel a rapid decay of fun and enthusiasm. Like I log in less and feel less inclined to continue to play ANY of my chars.
My main is Warrior lv 66, (where on top, my story is bug-stuck with level 50), and I just could not bring myself to play today, despite being bored. I can't even say exactly why.
I just feel "oh my, another heart gather some phooey something". And what DEFINITELY starts to bug me: I didn't learn ANY new abilities for ages. Besides some extras, my chars have the same skills as they had with level 5. Looking forward to new abilities always was a major drive in MMOs for me. And this heart thing... hm. I enjoyed it at first, but now it feels kinda boring. I sort of miss the more directed, guided, dense approach of real questlines, which deliver a story more clear and coherent. Lack of trinity and real teamwork also starts to feel more lacking now that I play a longer time, and I feel like everyone is a soloer and jack of all trades and rarely anyone ever groups or talks.
Not sure. Just a sort of feeling.
EDIT: I never thought I'd say that, but I liked the quests and classes from SWTOR better. Sue me...

I suppose it depends on the circle you hang with. A bunch of people in my guild blitzed to 80 and complained about begin bored. The rest of us laughed and ate a cookie in their honor. It's amazing how people think that GW2 is simply a vertical progression game. It's much more than that, as was Guild Wars 1. I guess some get it, and some don't.
By the way, if you do ANYTHING without taking a break, it gets a bit old. I've taken a couple breaks and played other games on certain days. Then I start thinking, "I have so many zones to complete!" and log right back into Guild Wars 2. Just me, but that's my thought.

MMORPGs are no longer about the mass multi-user
Kinda in the same boat. I do like the GW2 mechanics, but something is holding me back the last week. Yes I do logon for an hour a day or so, give my main character (53 at the moment) a go in her personal story, and that's about it. Though the story is not bugged, for a personal story it's getting pretty hard to complete from stage to stage. The last couple of parts I've done in about 5 tries each, which is probably the thing that pisses me off the most >:(
Perhaps we should lay GW2 aside for a week or 2, play something else and check back later on..?
AsRock 990FX Extreme3
You mean since level 30 (if you had grinded plenty of skillpoints), right?
But yeah, the game could really use 3 times as many utility and elite skills. And a few of them could require that you put a certain number in the right trait to use.
I have a feeling something like that will happen eventually though.
As for questlines I dont miss them at all. Just skip the hearts and do more exploration and DEs while you explore instead. The hearts are often what took over after the more boring quests many MMOs have plenty off but here you dont have to do them to get further, you really only need them to get 100% completion.
Just try to play the stuff you enjoy most.
Then again, maybe you just played it too much lately. A week off watching up on series on the telly or something also do wonders.
As foir teamwork it is there, but mostly in the dungeons and PvP. Teamwork is still good to have anywhere in the world but far from a must. And it is rather different than trinty teamwork, or to be precise, just like in trinity you need to know what the other players are doing, but in trinity you already know that. Here you have to keep an eye on them all the time and that can be a bit overwealming until you get used to it.
Of course you might be burnt out already, there is always that possibility but only you can answer that.

Everytime I start to get bored in GW2 I either go do something else, or jump into TL2, borderlands 2, or planetside 2. Before long I end up logging into GW2 again, and the fun starts all over again. GW2 isn't a game where you need to play it 24/7. There's no sub fee, and the amount of vertical progression in this game is so simple that it doesn't take long to complete it (basically getting to lvl 80). If you're getting burnt out, take a break. There are tons of other great games that have come out this month. Nothing states you need to play MMOs exclusively.

So, I do not have much to look forward to. When I played games like EQ2, LOTRO or WOW, looking for cool new skills was a major driving motivation for me.
I TRIED to make breaks. I watched the entire Warehouse 13 and Nero Wolfe series in the last 4-5 days, only logging into GW2 very brief; now after this semi-break I feel like I described.
Shrug, not sure what to say...

Try not! Do or do not. There is no try.
Most MMOs anymore for pve content players solo and there is little interaction in groups. With GW2 there is no need to be in an offical party because everyone can help each other out without the parties. What I feel is missing is some animated emotes to respond to people in open world. I have had many people chat in "say" or "whisper" chat when interacting and helping them with an event. The other thing that makes a difference is to get into an active guild that can work with you towards different goals. Just like most MMOs "You will only get out of the game what you put into it". Anet has not taken or made features unavailable to the player to NOT be social. You have the tools..... USE THEM!
As far as being bored, maybe GW2 is just not the game for you. Every time I log in I can find much to do. The pvp world alone is vast and much to learn for me (especially WvWvW). You have much lore you can learn by just exploring regions and interacting with the events and even listening to the npc conversations. The crafting system is more satisfying than many MMOs out there and you get experience towards your character level which breaks up the grind from just killing. You have a personal storyline that you progress in as you level through each zone. You also have Vistas to discover which is like a nice sight seeing trek. But if you are use to looking for (!) and (?) littered through out the zones then I can see where you may lose focus as to what to do next. This game does not hold your hand through randomly placed quest hubs used to fill in each zone. Anet leaves it more to the adventurer to decide how he/she would like to advance and explore.
BUT to be completely bored in this game?! I just can not see how someone could be. Yes you don't get a multitude of new skills as you level. In other MMOs you have so many skills most players refine them down to a few bars worth anyways. What Anet gives you is better AI and combat where you learn to use the skills you have to fight affectively. You have a nice set of Trait points where you can refine your skills and even make them work differently for you. What a lot of other MMOs give you is a massive amount of bells and whistles to get you excited for short periods of time. Think of it like little treats for getting to that level, kinda like what you give your dog for doing something good. Anet gives it's players rewards in other ways.

I think I will make it my goal in life to prove that Karl Marx made this game, because just like his philosophy in politics, ANet's philosophy in game makes ABSOLUTELY no sense at all.
Originally posted by Loke666
Definitely agree on the skills. I'm sure they are planning on adding more at some point, especially now that they have a whole team working on skill balancing as opposed to 1 guy. For some of the classes it feels a bit more diverse (because most of their skills are fairly versatile), where as with others they have too many skills that are really only useful in niche situations, so you don't really use them for the most part. Definitely hope they expand upon this in the future.
As for the hearts, I know some people aren't willing to do this, but I found that if you play with the map completion markers turned off on your map, it actually helps a lot. Instead of focusing on arbitrary icons it frees you up to just pay attention to the world around you, and gives you more of an incentive to explore.

But I get what you mean. We all have different drives when we game. But a few days just aint enough off, it is not like you pay monthly fees.
Try playing something different a week or 2 (played Cavemen2 cosmos?, it is great, Loke recommends). Otherwise just take a break as long as you need to, if that is until the first expansion hits (probably this spring) that is fine. That should give your warrior some new weapons to play with.
Playing when it isnt fun is a waste of time. But even in worst scenario when you never feels for playing again you still got your 60 bucks worth out of it at least. :)

Most of the personal story quests aren't that hard either. So far I've really only encountered 1 story quest that I had trouble soloing, and that was because they force you to use a crappy single-target toolkit to fend off a horde of undead. (which seems like really bad quest design imho). However other than that they have all been fairly easy. I've done necro through 80, warrior through 60, and ele / mesmer through 40.
Mostly it comes down to guaging whether you'll need more single-target skills, more AoE, and whether or not you can kite decently.

This is where I see just a glimmer of the lazy development put into this game.
Sorry if I didnt level further though....Ive clocked over 100 hours on this game but can't find it in myself to get past level 30 on any toon...as a matter of fact, most of the toons I've made (10 including deleted ones) haven't gotten past level 15 without me saying "this is it???"

Just curious, but what class are you playing mostly?
In my experience the right skills function how you want them to. Some classes are more signet heavy (which are your passive buffs), but learning when to activate them is pretty important as well. I've played all the classes in this game (some more than others), and so far the only class I've never activated my signets on is thief. That's mostly because he's only lvl 17, though.
That said, if you play MMOs mostly for progression (and more specifically vertical progression), then there's not much GW2 can do for you. It's simply not that type of game, and I don't think it ever will be. Unfortunately that means lots of similar games / clones in your future. However, try some buildcrafting. While I would like it if the game had more skills, a huge draw of this game is in character customization. It's not just about unlocking skills, but rather in finding new & interesting ways to combine them w/ your traits & weapons. On most of my characters I tend to come up w/ at least 3 main builds, on which I've discovered a lot of variations I can use by switchign utilities & major traits a little. I also find it fun when you go through a dungeon, WvW, or PvP and experiment with a new build to see how it'll do.

For anyone complaining about people not creaming their pants over GW2 and making a post about it on the forums: be happy.
Once people stop making posts about it and simply quit the game without saying as much as a word...is when you should start complaining and asking "Where did everybody go?"

Logic be damned!
My motivation has been to see and complete content.
Only level 33 now on my new main, just did my first dungeon last night - so fun. Now I can't wait to see the rest.
I just want to get to 80 so I can have the whole game open to me. I love that feeling - knowing I have no content that I cannot complete if I put forth the effort and have the skill.
I'm still excited to play.
I do have a lot of IRL commitments that keep me from playing 24/7 though.
I've probably been lurking for way, way too long.
