Few days ago i started a thread to find out what old DAoC players liked so much in it that they would like to see it again in CU.
Now lets find out what DAoC players don't want to see again in CU.
Lets keep it simple, one thing only (although it can be a group of closely related things)
For my part, what i don't want to see is anything remotely close to NF and all that came with it.
- teleports from one RvR point to another. let us have to run back to the action, even if takes 20 minutes, i hated the fact how you could die in RvR, /release, and be back in the battle in basically seconds. If you want to be back in battle ASAP, It also made dying meaningless, It made people just want to jump in battles foolishly, make a few RPs real fast even if it meant dying.
Be nice to the community and healers will happily resurrect you. It really helps ...(i'll be polite) rude players to behave correctly with other players if they dont want to have to release all the time and waste half they playing time running back to the action. if the community needs to manage itself properly as to how to behave all together, give us the tools to do so.
- too much info on our radar map. lets keep it as in pre NF; a radar, with N,S,E,W, terrain thats it ! It killed quite many RPG fun factors ; search, communicate, adventure, discover, coordinate. Also made scouts pretty useless too :( who needs one when a simple click tells you where are the battles, how many ennemies there and such, when a simple click told you all that ?
- Keeps with basically all the same surrounding terrain, i.e. those keeps on small island and 3 bridges to access it. Keep it simple, make huge battles possible with many different strategies / possibilities.
These 3 points (mostly the first two) are what killed DAoC...It went from a MMORPG to a MMOFPS too much "hardcore" action for a RPG
P.S. : non related to the actual thread, but just thought about it. Make sure that i.e. castle, between slots up on castle walls, EVERY race can shoot from there lol !
I remember how dumb i felt with my kobold standing on walls, look at my fellow "human sized" friends shoot from upthere, while i was there feeling like Gimli, only top of my helmet visible and saying " whats happening ? what do you see !" lol, not being able to shoot cuz i was a kobold.

Well, there was some counterplay to some of things that makes things kinda neat.
Sure there was teleports, but you could cut off teleportation. Part of the tactic was to cut it off. So, I think there should be some, but VERY limited, and at the risk of not being there. Perhaps, ppl whom teleport get a debuff similiar to rezz sickness. This could allow for a few key gathering areas where people can mill around to form groups similair to any PK back in the day.
The map system was kinda neat because you know where there was a fight, or an ongoing one. The trick was you could attack someone/where just to get the enemy to come there when your goal was really somewhere else. Sometimes you started 'fires' just to goad the enemy into attacking you. I remember the old days, and it was good for the community, but I remember sometimes when it was just too much to read and squabble over (which mean you think that the community just needed to shut up.) I honestly could go either way with this. I agree about dumbing the actual mini-map or radar. What's the sense of having nighttime matter if you can just see on the mini-map.

I liked having to wait on the porters to get to the frontier lands..
but being a hib it was super unfair having to run all the way to emain, while eveyone else goto port right there. So while I think Dying in rvr should come with a penalty (like having to wait) it should just be fair

I wanna see each character have a buff limit similar to the concentration stat (that buff classes have) that limit the amount of buffs they can hand out.
If i cant see that then i dont wanna see buff classes in CU.

Ranged damage dealers with ranged stun. Even though I loved my smite cleric and my eldritch, I will readily concede that one class having both stun and nukes is bullshit.

Most of what i don't want to see is already not in game, pve being removed saved lots of it. Lots of the spells classes has helped in pve more so than pvp. You can go pve spec of pvp spec. Making all lines work for pvp is the only challenge now.
Heartspark: Animist rr12, bors, Lone Enforcer, Retired
Dranzerk: Berzerker (kay) retired
+1 for no teleport, it tends to make stupids situations (i try a suicide kill, i die, i tp, i try a suicide kill, i die, i tp), if peoples have to run 10min or more to reach the closest fight they will think twice before suicide bombing
About radars, I personaly don't like it and prefer old style compass. We had to know the map, discovers hided places to embush ennemies, etc...
By the way I don't know if it would be possible, so at least do not show fights and ennemies on the map. Just a map would be way enough to me.
My personnal thing I hated and still hate is: DPS range with stuns or cc control, they're just imbalance by essence. (hibs/sorcerer/theu air)
Just like the hibs with stun+dd, when I was stunned by any hib without my purge I just had to ask a rez even before taking the first shot.
Make theses classes in particular VERY dependant of the assist characters, they already have their range as a big avantage to stay alive behind the lines.
@wellzyc: the caster interrupt was the reason why it was still possible to play melee in bus. Check gw2 or warhammer: the caster just ruin all melees as soon as they quit the lines, in this games melee mean meatbag.

1) autotraining
2) the movement system (acceleration, deceleration)
3) /stick and /face on enemies
4) crafting as it was done in daoc was super boring
5) everyone running in panther and crocodile morphs like in ToA
6) having to change items from my inventory to be able to play some classes effectively
7) very slow balancing. Some classes were gimped for years
8) too many classes
9) the classes that were added in expansions were broken/OP/stupid
10) a specialized 8v8 map like agramon. I like randomness. Strict 8v8 gets boring after a while.
11) waiting for VIsur for 10 mins after each death

I don't get the point with the /stick and acceleration/deceleration.
About the /face, I always feel sad it stopped you.
The point (for me) about the A/C is to force people to be aware of their movement, and if no other mmo used it we could agree all other mmo have people moving brainlessly in all direction while fighting.
I used to be melee in daoc, and this feature was really useful when I was charging a caster, just because I was faster than him until he reached max speed. So I was able to place a snare quite easily (and it sounds like a normal situation to me), in most other mmo the dude move in max speed and just kite the melee if he can't leap. Too bad, reroll a range class looser :D

How could one name such a system as "clunky." It was not clunky and it indeed did add strategy (and still does) to DAoC's combat system. You had to figure out when you wanted to stop (and /face) an opponent whilst risking stopping too quickly (and getting punched in the face by an enemy) in order to nuke an enemy down (or heal an ally).
Now, I do understand that some people will be against /stick but I really don't see the problem with it. Manually following some person around takes 0 skill and can become quite annoying. But, that is just my opinion. Plus, just because /sticking someone was an option didn't mean it was always the best thing to do. Many combat styles and weapon skills required you to be in different positions from your target which made /sticking the "wrong choice" in many instances.

Top of my list would be a game where you don't play the UI. Focus is on the screen most of the time and you're either first person or close third person....in the game. That's probably my No. 1 complaint from WoW, it made the info too readily available. Level, name, status, even buffs and current ability being cast, all at a single click...wth for? All it really did was separate you from your character and have you mostly watching group and mob health bars.
I loved the text info style of DAoC. Not sure you could go back to that, but I'd like to see it. You'd think you'd spend more time reading chat than watching group boxes and bars in WoW, but that wasn' t the case. I must've learned to speed read or something.

I'm glad that I finally found a post that I somewhat agreed with you on, as most of the time I end up disagreeing with you. I can understand both, but it's rather rare to hear someone say /stick and /face were negatives of DAoC. I guess you were either one of the people that got train wrecked with /stick gankers, or one of them. Either way, I could certainly lose /stick, but /face was incredibly useful to locate ranged attackers. It also helped gaining view on positional styles for melees.
The only thing that comes to mind immediately that I disliked was...

Will 2nd the teleport comments. Being able have folks rejoin the battle within seconds is BS. Make people run. It adds to the suspense and uncertainty that made old frontiers so much fun. I hated winning a big fight just to get rolled by the same people 1 minute later. Different people, sure, or same group(s) 10-15 minutes later also good with. But within a minute, lame...

there should be some kind of teleports they gave many ways to tactics during siege of other realm and if everyone will stand and be feared of fight there won't be much action at all.
" Playing a caster in DAoC was absolutely horrific...i have no idea why they wanted tod the interrupts to that degree.....Also I dont want to see stealth in CU......I know alot of people thought it was great stealthing on the battlefield and killing people easily, but I just dont think it has a place...It didnt happen everytime, ut I remember several times being killed in one hit by stealthers in RVR."
i played mostly casters and i loved system of interrupts so it means you are just crying, because you had problems playing something harder. Why did they implement it? Becuse of it this game wasn't boring, you had to think where to stand and you couldn't tank as a caster 5ppl having healers behind you and in the same time keep hitting. System of interrupts was very good, because of it also zerg fights didn't end so fast.
back to topic I didn't like:
1) warlocks with uniterruptable casts
2) new ranger system (old was great)
3) crafting was boring
4) stun nuke nuke down, stun nuke nuke down. With 2 eldritches with my friend we killed 8 ppl without any heals in open. Stun / mezz and nuke on one character? Imho stun shouldn't be longer than 6s and the stun shouldn't be on a caster that has so enormous dps like eldritch or at least do not give it as a base line spell to everyone. With right items in daoc stun could last even 10s. It was overpowered. When hib caster stunned somebody in siege fights he was almost 100% dead if purge was down. And there were just thousands of lurikeens waiting to just stun you.

Fools find no pleasure in understanding, but delight in airing their own opinions. Pvbs 18:2, NIV
Huge diparities in power between characters.
DAOC was level based, so if you were more than 4 levels below your opponent you had a real disadvantage in terms of being competitive.
I know they have to provide some sort of progression system, but it really isn't fun to go out in PVP zones and get one shotted by people who have some sort of huge bonuses added on to them
Ends up being a long slow climb to "endure" the disparity until you can fight your way to the top just be somewhat even.
Will be interesting to see how they balance this.
In my day MMORPG's were so hard we fought our way through dungeons in the snow, uphill both ways.

I never liked it in the least. I felt like once a melee got within range is was pretty much "game over," not to mention range attacks interrupted as well. Yes, I understand quickcast but a caster could only take 1-3 hits without dying. So why can spells just have a fizzle change when within melee range, do not make casters as squishy but as a trade off make their damage decrease with survivability.
I think PvP in CU should last longer for better strategy. The must memorable fights were in SB when my guild's town was baned. Those took a lot of strategy and time to conquer instead of, "Well, if we roll the casters in 2 hits then flank the archers/healers in 4-6 hits the tanks should be easy pickin's since their support classes will be dead before they know it."
So, My 2 points to not put in CU are:

New this year: the possibility to bring your crew to Malibu International Marathon.

The idea is to compete while you raise fund for a charity. Join the challenge!
When it comes to marathon goals and the training we do to achieve those goals, we all too often fall short of what we had expected or planned for. "Hitting a wall" or "having a bad day" seem to take all the blame when things don't go our way on race day but these may just be the result of a bigger, more important problem with our race prep and execution.
The bigger problem is not enough training at goal race pace. This is the tip of the month! More aggressive training... We do all this long easy running on the weekends and somehow expect to miraculously be able to run 30 seconds faster on race day. This usually works for the first 16-20 miles and then... Well, and then there comes that "wall"! So what do we do? Some of the best advice I ever got was from US 50k record holder and two time Malibu Marathon 13.1 winner/course record holder, Josh Cox. He told me to spend more time training at the pace you expect to race at. The body will adapt and become more comfortable at faster paces by simply spending more time there. Let me tell you, it works! Try doing race pace for part of your weekend long runs. For example: on a 16 miler, run 4 easy, 8 at race pace, 4 easy. If it's too much, start with less race pace miles and work more in over time.
The second tip is to take all of the training you have done leading up to the event and let the numbers speak to you. If you can't hold a 7 minute mile for 10 miles in training, you may not want to try and hold 7 minute pace for 26.2 miles. Be honest with the results you have yielded and be honest with your expectations for yourself. Be aggressive but also make sure you are realistic!
Now go train and enjoy every beautiful, painful mile of it! We'll see you in November!

update cell text without refreshing
Is there a way to update the text of a cell (specifically a footer cell) after the grid has rendered but without having to call an obj.refresh? I'm doing an ajax call to load totals since some of my record sets are very large and need a few seconds to sum. I've tried using
obj.setFooterText(myTotal, columnNum);
but that only displays the new value after calling a refresh, and I want it to appear right away. Thoughts?
Tuesday, May 16, 2006
It is possible refreshing just the single footer cell -
obj.setFooterText("some text", 1);
or, if you are using extended grid (which allows multiple footer rows) -
obj.setFooterText("some text", 1, 0);
obj.getFooterTemplate(1, 0).refresh();

Excerpt from http://aclj.org/jihad/self-radicalized-islamic-terrorist?sf33166567=1
Each of these incidents have been described as being carried out by a "self-radicalized" lone wolf terrorist.
Yet there is no such thing, and the label, more than mere semantics, trivializes and belies the reality we face.
In each of these instances, individuals who have prominently displayed their radical Islamic jihadist ideology on their social media or in other ways have undertaken horrific terrorist acts on prominent symbols of the West, soldiers and police officers.
ACLJ started a petition 8 days ago to end the giving tax dollars to nations that pesecute Christians.
Eight billion dollars.That's roughly the amount of money U.S. taxpayers have paid Pakistan as it persecutes Asia Bibi, a Christian mother of five sentenced to die for her faith.
The petition is online here http://aclj.org/persecuted-church/stop-paying-for-persecution?sf33166600=1
St. Gabriel, Louisiana (7000 people), will probably be one of the next Liquefied Natural Gas, LNG, exporting facilities. LNG is basically natural gas that is cooled and liquefied.
The U.S. will use it, and at least another 21 plants planned to be built by 2020, and ramp-up to the largest world exporter of oil and gas.
Covert construction sites will generate over $100 billion for thousands of people here in this country.
Senate About To Go Republican
A majority senator outcome would give pro-lifers the ability to remove pro-abortion obstructionist Sen. Harry Reid from the majority leader position. Having a Republican leader will allow pro-life legislation to be considered on the Senate floor for the first time in years.
Islamic Terrorism Inevitable
The German Chancellor, Australia's and Spain's ex-prime ministers, two British Prime Ministers, and UK leader Nigel Farage have all warned of homegrown Islamic terrorism in their countries.
Obama compromised America allowing "radical Islamists" access to the White House, per the Investigative Project on Terrorism. They reported "scores of known radical Islamists made hundreds of visits to the Obama White House, meeting with top administration officials."

The Vampire Diaries' Spoilers: Who Won't Make It to Graduation?
Caution! The Vampire Diaries spoilers for the Season 4 finale.
We couldn't be prouder that our gang on The Vampire Diaries is finally reaching that important teenage milestone: graduation. Even if most of them are gonna stay 18 forever, it's still quite a feat, considering how many classes they've skipped while going on field trips to New York City and beyond.
However, TV Guide spoke with Julie Plec, TVD's executive producer, and she teased that not everyone will be hand for the big event.
"Definitely not all of our wayward, delinquent students will be present when it comes time to collect their diplomas," she said.
Don't worry. It's not because they're missing their hearts or got staked. It's simply that there's a more pressing supernatural occurrence conflicting with graduation. Isn't that always the way?
While there's no clues about which Mystic Falls High School student is missing all the pomp and circumstance, we have a feeling we know what interrupts it: Silas's Other Side-erasing spell. At this point, he's just waiting on the cure, and thanks to Elijah (Daniel Gillies), it's headed straight to Mystic Falls.
If our guess is correct, then he'll probably need Bonnie (Kat Graham) — whether she's a willing participant or not.

28 Amazing Hair Braids
I love playing around with new hair dos. What girl doesn't? While I was clicking through a number of runway photos from Fashion Week I noticed that braids were a popular trend. Braids are so simple and one of the first things girls learn how to do on their hair. There are so many ways to spice up the plain and simple braid. From fishtail braids, headband braids to inside-out braids the options are endless! These styles are so fun and super cute! I can't wait to have my sister (who I always make do my hair and nails) try some of these fabulous braids on my hair!
What braid style are you going to try?

Devoted sons always do. She logs into Johnny's office camera and overhears Lulu and Johnny discussing her possible involvement with Luke. Steve walks in and tells Heather he has to go to the hospital. She calls a man over, someone she used to write Maggie's confession letter. She needs him to write some letters from Luke. Olivia arrives and sees the man leaving. Heather pretends she does not know what Olivia is talking about.
In the interrogation room, Heather assures Anna she did not bury Anthony. Why would she do something like that? Anna thinks she would do anything for Luke. Heather thinks she is projecting. Steve busts in and does not want her to speak until her lawyer comes in. Suddenly, a guy who looks like Anthony arrives and tells them he was with Heather that night. He was completely hammered. Steve tells Anna she has to release Heather and she arranges it, but assures them she will look into it. Later, Anna sees the story checks out but thinks the guy was paid off. Steve and Heather go home and Olivia is shocked she was released. She leaves Steve and Heather alone to eat the romantic meal she made.
Steve calls Alexis for help but she will not take Heather as a client. He has no luck finding anyone else who will take her either. Olivia arrives and he tells her about what the police think, but he does not believe it. Olivia wants him to accept who Heather really is. He wonders if she is happy since she got what she wanted. She just wanted to protect him since he took legal responsibility for Heather's actions. For that, she is glad she does not have to worry about it anymore. She hugs him and tells him they will find a lawyer together.
Sam overhears Steve talking about the kiss at Kelly's and lays into Jason. Steve gets a call from Anna to come down to the station about Heather and leaves. She accuses Liz and of coming on to Jason. He tells Sam he is the one who kissed Liz. Plus, she is in no position to judge after what happened with McBain. He saw her kissing him on the pier. She tells him they were drunk and it didn't mean anything. He can do whatever he wants with the ring, and with Elizabeth. Sam leaves and Liz encourages Jason to go after her. He thinks it is better this way, everything is out in the open. Their marriage died the night their baby died.
Anna brings Heather to the station for questioning. Anna tells Dante that Heather buried Anthony. Heather denies it, and Anna has her brought to a room for questioning. Anna tells Dante that when she told Johnny about the body, he did not seem upset or surprised. Dante wonders where Lulu is but Anna has not seen her. Steve comes down and Dante and Anna fill him in. Steve visits Heather in the interrogation room and she swears on her love for him that she did not murder Anthony. He asks her some questions and she did not expect this harassment from her own son. He leaves to find her a lawyer and Anna comes in to go over the night in question. They also need to do forensics. Heather insists on a phone call.
At Kelly's Liz calls Jason to tell him she is there for her and to not worry about the kiss. Steve overhears and is not happy. She insists it was not a real kiss. Jason is going through a difficult situation and she wanted to be there for him. He does not want her to get hurt but she insists she is fine. He and Olivia had a blowout about his mother. The night of the storm, she borrowed Olivia's car. Steve insists she was just trying to meet up with a guy online. He needs to help her find a better guy than that. Steve leaves as Jason walks in. Steve does not want him kissing his sister. Sam overhears.
Outside Kelly's, Heather goes over her personal and professional success in her mind as she writes her first column. Let people hate, she thinks. Steve walks up and she shuts her computer. She has been agonizing over her column and can't concentrate because someone is following her. She even counted her pills to make sure she did not miss a dose. But she caught Spin ogling her and he admitted Olivia had hired him. Olivia walks up and Steve asks her if it is true. She admits it is. Heather has been lying for weeks and he is eating it up. Heather agrees to tell the truth. She was with a man she met online, where pathetic and lonely losers go to die. He rented a room at the motel thinking she would put out. She told the cop he was her husband because she was ashamed. Steve admonishes Olivia for snooping. He knows better than anyone what she is capable of. He tells her they will talk tomorrow and leaves to be with Heather.
At the hospital, Heather is ready for her first day at work. Steve is shocked she was able to get a job so easily. She runs off so she is not late as "Slim" leaves another message on Luke's phone that she won't answer. Steve and Liz talk about Ewen. She tells him about their dinner date the night before but she can't stop thinking about Jason and what he is going through. Steve is doubtful that friendship is all that is between them. Ewen walks in and invites Liz over for dinner. She won't be able to find a sitter so agrees to a rain check. Steve offers to watch the kids, but she does not want them around Heather. He does not think it is just childcare issues, but she tells him it has nothing to do with Jason. She turns around and Jason is there.
At Kelly's, Olivia is on the phone with Spinelli, asking about his progress in tracking Heather's whereabouts the night of the storm. Elsewhere, Heather and Steve talk about the new newspaper and she is excited to see what Manning digs up. They walk up to Olivia as she is thanking Spinelli for helping her with the nut job. Heather insists to know who it is so they can help. She assures Heather she has everything under control. Heather is looking for a job. She thinks about Luke and tells them she wants want everyone else has - and will have it. Steve thinks she should just focus on a job. He looks at Olivia and asks if there is an opening at Metro Court, but Heather doesn't think hospitality is her thing. She would rather be a reporter. They are doubtful, but Heather is not worried about Todd. She can be very persuasive.
In his hospital room, Patrick tells Ewen he is released, then leaves the room to take a call from Matt. Ewen tries to walk around and stumbles. Liz catches him and they kiss. They are interrupted by Steve who is there to check on Ewen. Liz kicks him out and is embarrassed, and Ewen tells her it is presumptuous considering he has been out of commission for while. Maybe she has met someone else? She assures him there is no one else and leaves.

OTTAWA, Canada—Shen Yun Performing Arts, the renowned classical Chinese dance company, finished its run of sold-out and full-house shows at Ottawa's National Arts Centre on a sunny but brisk Sunday afternoon.
Retired musician Jean-Jacques Brunel, 75, attended the show with his friend Hélène Therien who had seen the show a few years ago and highly recommended it.
Mr. Brunel said he appreciated the orchestra, which is composed of a unique combination of traditional orchestral instruments and classical Chinese instruments. He plays several instruments and taught music in high school. He was also a musical director-conductor for music education.
"Everything is perfect, it's the way the musicians attack the notes. You know music: it's not what we play, it's the way we play [it]," Mr. Brunel said.
He found the music to be larger than life and he felt that his life was richer from having experienced the show. "I take my hat off to everybody," he said.
"I want to live another 75 [years]," Mr. Brunel said.
Many have commented on the uplifting positivity Shen Yun projects in its performances and some theatregoes at every show are moved to tears.
"I found this show extremely, extremely inspiring. I took my [injured grandchild] four years ago, and it inspired me, it gave me hope in life again. And to see it again today, I'm very inspired," Ms. Therien said.
Ms. Therien comes from a musical family in which everyone likes to sing and some are in the arts. She also loves to sing and used to have a co-op selling natural foods in Lachute and then in Montreal. Now she is a caregiver of an injured child.
She said her dream is to return next year with her daughter as she thinks it will inspire her. "It's one of the most wonderful shows I ever saw in my life."
She said she liked everything about the show.
"Every part of this show is inspiring and very well done. Everything about it is amazing. The way they are together, the way they move," she said. "The music, the colours, everything about it, I think, is extremely inspiring."
According to the Shen Yun website, classical Chinese dance has a history of thousands of years, influenced by the wisdom of each dynasty and era. These ideas are then communicated through the dance system's three main components of bearing, form, and technical skill.
"The way they are together, the way they danced, the synchronicity, the colours, it's so beautiful," Mr. Brunel said.
"Also we learn so much about the culture, and also to find out the way it's going today. Everything, the music, these people, the way they move, the way they're so graceful. Everything is amazing."
New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts has three touring companies that perform simultaneously around the world. Shen Yun's New York Company will be in Montreal Jan. 3-6 before going on to Toronto and other cities in Eastern Canada.

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
When Christ becomes the very center of your life and when your trust is given unpartially to Jesus, he is a light within your soul. All the shadows of doubt and worry are no more under the brilliant light of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. With Christ in control, life becomes a fountain within you that flows eternally. With this life comes a peace that is only from God.
I have found this peace.
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and selfindulgence. Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean." (Matthew 23:25-26)In this verse in which Jesus was talking, he makes some facts very clear. They did not practice what they taught. To put it simply, Jesus called them hypocrites.
"Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus." (Mark 3:6)In the Ten Commandments, one of the commands is not to kill, or murder. Yet these teachers of the law, who knew the Ten Commandments, plotted and eventually succeeded in killing Jesus. This is a fine example of their hypocrisy. They taught the people to obey God, yet disobeyed his command to not kill. Again, they were hypocrites.
The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach." (Matthew 23:2-3)As you can see, Jesus told the crowds and his disciples that they should obey the Pharisees. But they should not be like them, because they did not do what they preach.
"Uh…but…no," he said slowly, "he's the most…" He stopped, then started again. "In my view," he declared, "he is the most important human being who ever existed."He missed the Savior who he once knew. Under the arguments and the logic, the truth was found. Templeton missed his Savior. He knew the truth, but had rejected it.
That's when Templeton uttered the words I never expected to hear from him. "And if I may put it this way," he said as his voice began to crack, "I…miss…him!"
With that, tears flooded his eyes. He turned his head and looked downward, raising his left hand to shield his face from me. His shoulder bobbed as he wept.
This is what we should be doing. However, many a Christian is too concerned with looking perfect rather than being it. At first glance the strive for perfection may seem stupid, because how can someone be perfect?--it's impossible. Alas, what we fail to realize is that the perfection we should be striving for is not based on the ideas of man, but rather those of God. For in the eyes of man we will never be perfect, but on that glorious day when Christ returns and we are ushered into His presence, then we will be perfect. We have to realize that the things that we are doing now--whether good or bad are affecting our eternity--either good or bad.
Paul says in Philippians 3:12-14, "I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection! But I keep working toward that day when I will finally be all that Christ saved me for and wants me to be. No, dear brothers and sisters, I am still not all I should be, but I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead. I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us up to heaven."
Striving: to devote serious effort or energy. How many of us are seriously devoting energy to the things of God? How many of us are actually doing what we promise God we will do week end and week out? How many of us are truly forgetting the past and focusing all of our energy to what lies ahead?
Perfection is not some pie in the sky ideal that would be nice to have, but it is something that we can truly attain. Not through mere human methods, but through His.
People were also bringing babies to Jesus to have him touch them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." (Luke 18:15-17)The Christmas season is just around the corner, and billions of kids are being told that Santa, that jolly old man, is coming to town. Surprisingly, ever single of these children will believe what they are told about Santa, even if it is impossible.
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. (Matthew 7:7-8)
The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. (Galatians 6:8)Our purpose on life is to serve God, and by doing so we are determining our eternal destiny.
5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6and to knowledge, selfcontrol; and to selfcontrol, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 8For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins. (2 Peter 1)Addressed to Christians, Peter says that they have been cleansed, or forgiven, of their past sins. Notice, it does not say future sins.
For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance–now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. (Hebrews 9:15)When we accept Christ into our life, we go from the first covenant, or from under the law, to the second covenant where Jesus forgives our sins. So, this passage states that Jesus died to forgive the sins committed before we were saved.
My life is about live for God right now. I post things that came to my mind mostly about God though.
But those Christians who are unfaithful (Matt. 25:28-30) will have their rewards taken from them and given to those who were faithful, and, and they will be cast into "outer darkness," the place where there shall be "weeping and gnashing of teeth." The "outer darkness" described in this passage is not a description of hell, but is likely a lesser status in God's kingdom. Unfaithful Christians will see more diligent Christians rule and reign with Christ. Seeing that they could have had much greater reward and prominence in God's kingdom, these unfaithful stewards will weep and gnash their teeth in deep remorse and regret." (p 1234)
The final verse of this parable is so severe that many commentators assume it is a description of hell. It is not . . . The point of this parable is that in God's future kingdom, those who were faithful in this life will be rewarded and those who were not will lose any potential reward . . . Before we can understand the full impact of this parable, we must first determine what the "outer darkness" refers to in the context of the parable. It certainly does not mean hell in the parable. How could a master throw a slave into hell? . . . But what actual place was Jesus referring to in the parable? He gave us only one hint: "In that place there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." . . . To be in the "outer darkness" is to be in the kingdom of God but outside the circle of men and women whose faithfulness on this earth earned them a special rank or position of authority.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." (Rev. 21:3-4)
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear. (Matthew 12:41-43)
"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." (1 John 3:1)
"You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below." (Exodus 20:4)
Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. (Rev. 22:15)
A verse that really struck me was when Paul said that, "Now I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom will ever see me again. Therefore, I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of all men. For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God." (Acts 20:25-27)If there is one thing that I do not want do be guilty of, it is the blood of those I failed to witness to. I must not hesitate to proclaim the whole will of God. God help me.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. (Matthew 16:24)
For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith." (Romans 1:17)
What does this verse teach us? This passage from Romans 1:17 quotes from Habakkuk 2:4 which is prefaced by the words, "a righteousness that is by faith from first to last." Another translation says, "from faith to faith." This expression implies an ongoing life of faith until one breathes his last. It is this kind of enduring faith which is required to guarantee salvation. The importance of this message is evident in that this same passage is quoted two other times in scripture: Galatians 3:11 and Hebrews 10:38.
The other passage of scripture regarding salvation that is often quoted in the New Testament is from Genesis 15:6: "Abram believed the Lord, and he was credited it to him as righteousness." In the Hebrew, the word for "believed" is "aman." This word implies an enduring, steadfast faith which is immovable. It is this kind of faith which credited Abram with righteousness. This passage, too, is quoted several times in scripture: Romans 4:3, 4:22; Galatians 3:6; and James 2:23. When a passage of scripture is repeated so many times, the reader should take note. God tells us five times in scripture that an enduring, steadfast faith will credit us with righteousness. Nowhere does it say that a fleeting moment of faith will credit us with righteousness.
All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. (Matthew 10:22)
(to the Gentile believers) "For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either. Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in His kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off." (Romans 11:21-22)
By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. (1 Corinthians 15:2)
"But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in sight, without blemish and free from accusation-if you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the gospel…" (Colossians 1:22-23b)
"But Christ is faithful as a son over God's house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and hope of which we boast." (Hebrews 3:6)
"We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first." (Hebrews 3:14)
"You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised. For in just a little while, `He who is coming will come and will not delay. But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him. But we are not those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved."

School closings
Fort Wayne Community Schools, East Allen County Schools, Northwest Allen County Schools and Southwest Allen County Schools are closed today.
The National Weather Service said snowfall totals measured 12 inches in Kosciusko County and 11 inches in Columbia City.
Fort Wayne had received 9.6 inches by 4 p.m. Wednesday, said meteorologist Evan Bentley at the National Weather Service in Syracuse. That brought the total for this winter to 52.2 inches and pushed this season from No. 5 to the No. 2 spot for the snowiest winter on record.
The top spot is held by the winter of 1981-82, when the Fort Wayne area received 61.1 inches of snow.
Allen County Sheriff Ken Fries was off duty and taking his wife to work in his vehicle, which is equipped with a snow blade, about 6:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Fries was near Northcrest Shopping Center when he noticed a city officer using a snow shovel and trying to help a man whose vehicle was stuck in the snow.
Fries stopped and spent about 20 minutes helping, but even after extracting the man's Jeep Cherokee and getting it back on the road, it was still stuck, Fries said.
"I'm not sure what happened, but he was behind me and stepped on the gas, and it suddenly took off and he rammed the back of my vehicle.
"Of course, he was so apologetic, I felt sorry for him, and when I told him I was the sheriff, he was even more apologetic," Fries said.
No one was injured, but it caused $2,100 worth of damage to Fries' vehicle.
After dropping his wife off at her business, Fries drove downtown and noticed people getting stuck in the intersections because the streets had not been plowed.
He plowed out portions of Main, Calhoun and Berry streets around the Allen County Courthouse, he said.
On his way home is when Fries discovered he had no brakes. The accident had damaged a brake line.
He managed to guide it into an auto mechanic shop with no mishaps, he said.
He lives in southwest Allen County – usually 22 minutes from the hospital, he said.
"I left 30 minutes earlier than usual," he said. "The roads were horrible. During a storm, there's always a chance that some employees won't be able to make it to work and some will have to work longer hours."
During the last big snowstorm in January, Schmieman was one of many who spent the night at the hospital, sleeping on a patient cart in the Heart Pavilion.
Although he did not end up spending the night Tuesday, 33 other employees did, said Geoff Thomas, Lutheran Health Network spokesman.
That was also the case at Parkview Regional Medical Center and Parkview Hospital Randallia, hospital spokesman Eric Clabaugh said. About 24 employees worked over or spent the night at the two locations, he said.
Southwest Allen County Schools will have graduation June 7, but all students will be expected to attend classes June 9, the last day of school, to make up for missed days.
"Graduation is going to be June 7 no matter what," SACS Associate Superintendent Phil Downs said. "It's a fixed date, and there's nothing we can do about that."
Students will also attend school on Good Friday, April 18, to make up another of the missed days but will have time off for spring break and Memorial Day as planned.
SACS is the only local district that did not apply for a waiver from the state Department of Education, and Downs said they do not intend to apply.
June 6 is the last day of school at Northwest Allen County Schools. If more days are missed, NACS Superintendent Chris Himsel said the district will work with the Department of Education to determine its options, but students will not be asked to attend class on Saturdays and spring break will not be affected.
"Because many, many of our families make spring break plans and reservations more than a year in advance, and after this winter, I think everybody needs a chance to enjoy warm weather when it finally arrives, spring break will not be affected," he said.

This morning we got a call from a potential buyer. She was on here way to visit our area for a few days. She had a rental home lined up, the address in her GPS and had emailed another firm a few days ago about seeing homes. She had included the information that she would be paying cash and her price range and a few homes she would like to see while she is in the area. She'd heard nothing. No email reply, no phone call, nothing. She'd also called their office number and left a voice mail.
Well our office answers the phone and this morning John Vadas did answer the phone. He gave them our address to add to their GPS and printed out some fliers on the listings they are interested in for them to pick up. This afternoon they stopped by the office and asked for directions to the local super market and picked up a map and the fliers. Tomorrow morning John will be showing them property.
So while I won't mention that firms name... thanks guys. We appreciate the business.
And to all you other folks that are qualified for a loan or have cash and would like to see homes, of course we have plenty of agents and we'll make time for you too. And we'll answer the phone, return your calls and your emails too. We know that's the way we'll be staying in business... actually caring about how we treat people.

And so it begins! "Oilacus"
Enterprise Halts Plan for Bakken Oil Pipeline as Prices Collapse
By Robert Tuttle and Lynn Doan Dec 12, 2014 5:32 PM ET
This is the result of the speculator and hedge fund manipulated collapse in oil. YES, don't blame OPEC anymore for this oil crash disgrace. Now we get LOST JOBS and LOST INVESTMENT from that stupid supposed oil "Tax Cut"!
"Tax Cut"? Yes you morons, you don't pay taxes on NO WAGES!
Let's wake up people! There is no way that a few extra dollars in the consumers' pockets, so they can go out and buy a few more Slurpee's & Slim Jims at checkout; will ever compensate for the LOST oil investments - Oil News: $150 Billion in Oil Projects are at Risk Due to Plunging Oil Prices - and subsequent lost jobs AND lost tax revenues! This so-called "Tax Cut" is just a SHORT term illusion and the LONG term NEGATIVE effects of this "Fast & Furious" speculator/hedge fund oil crash "Oilacus" will be felt for years, if not decades to follow.
AND let's also wake up people to the reality that most if not all of the last $20 decline in WTI prices is NOT OPEC, but speculators and hedge funds right here in the United States. "Domestic Terrorism" at its worst! OK, maybe Saudi Arabia got pissed that Russia and few others wouldn't help cut back on production, and who can blame them! Why should the Saudi's be the ONLY ones to lose money? EVERYONE should have just come to a modest agreement and we wouldn't have been at this point. BUT make no mistake about it, any decline after $75 in WTI has NOTHING to do with Saudi's BUT everything to do with our broken #rigged markets! What we have done is just replace the 2008 short seller housing schemes of 2008 like Abacus with "Oilacus" schemes fermented by people like Dennis Gartman! Last time I looked he wasn't a Saudi! (Maybe a traitor & terrorist, but not a foreign one.)
What makes this entire matter worse is that U.S. producers are NOT allowed to coordinate or even talk to each other, so as they might establish a reasonable output level that would make sense for everyone. Instead we have a 'free for all' and in this New World – well that just won't work. Price limits MUST be set so that production and exploration at a profit can proceed at a stable and LONG term rate, while the consumer can also benefit from 'Energy Independence' and LONG term sustainable and reasonable prices! Do I hear $75 to $85 on WTI??? Let's face it people, that since the 2009 crash the country has been coming back from a severe confidence driven recession because of consistent WTI oil at $100+, NOT in spite of! Also, try to remember that the ONLY people who are benefiting from this "Oilacus" are the same SHORTS who benefited by the 2008 housing & mortgage crash! SHAMEFUL!
We all should be ashamed of ourselves, but our regulators and politicians are too friggen busy trying to figure out ways to blow up our banking system and not ways to maintain LONG term growth & prosperity

NOW we get the reverse of that disgraceful August 5th bet
Options Action: Huge BULLISH bet on XOP Thu, 11 Dec '14 | 5:45 PM ET
This has ALL now has become an issue of National Security and jobs! This manipulated oil crash ONLY makes OPEC stronger and U.S. producers weaker. BUT don't blame OPEC or even Russia, because morons like Jim Cramer keeps pushing short sellers and hedge funds supply & demand BS! Like many other issues – Cramer and CNBC cause more problems than the issues themselves.

3. Institute some rules on how the media 'reports' news in order to prevent rumor-boarding. Not censorship… just sensibility & responsibility.
4. Have ALL ETF's trade on a 20-minute delayed basis. Get these instruments of mass destruction back to what they were supposed to do: mimic mutual funds. NO pre or aftermarket trading.
5. End the insanity of high frequency trading #HFT. PULL THE PLUG NOW ON HFT!
6. Do something – ANYTHING – to reign in the insanity and out of control gambling of the options markets. (Note: My StIN 55% Cap Gains tax UNDER 6 months would solve this!)
"EXPORT THE CRAP OUT OF NATURAL GAS!" - Tax Plan—Revised 12/05/2014

· Apply 70% DIRECTLY to a "Infrastructure Trust Fund".
· Apply 30% to fund "Toxic Superfund Sites Cleanup".
· So that NG prices never go crazy, have that tax increase the higher NG gets. For example, if NG gets to $5.50 the tax increase to 5%, $7.50 the tax becomes 10%, ETC. Therefore the buyers wont' want it and the prices will be held in check.
· Allow PRODUCERS to sell directly to foreign buyers and cut out extra margins & increased volatility caused by speculators and hedge funds.

Box Score
BEAUMONT - First baseman Brad Picha continued his torrid hitting with a 3-for-4 day Saturday afternoon at Vincent-Beck Stadium, but Lamar University left nine runners on base in dropping a 5-4 Southland Conference baseball game to McNeese State.
The Cardinals missed opportunities to tie the game in the seventh and eighth innings. Lamar had bases loaded with two outs in the seventh, but designated hitter Seth Dornak could not deliver a hit to leave three players stranded.
In the eighth, senior Jeff Abt was thrown out at home plate by left fielder Matt Williams as he tried to score from second base on an Aaron Olivas single. Olivas also picked up three hits for the Cardinals, while center fielder Garret Autrey added two. Lamar's 13 hits were delivered by eight different players.
The loss drops the Cardinals to 17-24 on the year, but more importantly, to 9-14 in Southland Conference games. McNeese State improved to 18-22 overall and guaranteed that it would be ahead of the Cardinals after the weekend with a 12-11 conference mark. The two teams will decide the series Sunday at 1 p.m.
After falling behind 3-0 in the first inning, Lamar cut into the Cowboys' lead with a pair of runs in the bottom of the third. Catcher Zach Luevanos led off the inning with a walk, followed by singles from V.J. Bunner and Olivas to load the bases with no outs.
Right fielder Jude Vidrine delivered a sacrifice fly to center field that plated the Cardinals' first run. Picha, who is 11 for his last 16, singled through the left side with two outs to score Bunner and pull the Cardinals to within a run.
Lamar would battle back with a pair of runs in the sixth inning to make it a 5-4 score, but could get no closer. Darian Johnson led off with a walk, followed by singles from Picha and Dornak that loaded the bases. Abt hit a sacrifice fly to right that scored Johnson, and Luevanos singled to right to bring home Picha. Bunner would ground into the Cardinals' third double play of the game to end the inning.
"We did a pretty good job of coming back and a pretty good job on the mound," said LU head coach Jim Gilligan following the loss. "That is a very disappointing loss right there because we could've had a shutout today if we'd have just done our job.
"It all started with the first batter of the game dropping down a bunt that we didn't get down on and that opened up the first inning. The throw by Olivas was high, but Picha didn't jump for it and that opened up the 2-run inning."
McNeese's Renny Weber led off the game with a bunt single that got under the glove of Johnson at third. The next four Cowboys would deliver singles, including a run scoring hit from Eubanks and a 2-run single from Williams that was very close to being foul as it ran down the third base line. Williams and Eubanks combined to drive in all five of the Cowboys' runs.
Hahn would take the loss for Lamar and drop to 1-3 on the year after allowing five runs, three earned, over 6.2 innings. The right hander allowed seven hits and struck out three. John Gilligan and Machon Trimm would work the final 2.1 innings and allow just one hit.
Tyler McDonald (3-2) started and got the win for McNeese, allowing four runs on 10 hits in 6.2 innings. Four other Cowboys pitched in the contest with Tyler Parke working the final 1.2 innings to pick up his first save of the season.

In Photoshop CS5 Essential Training, author Michael Ninness demonstrates how to produce the highest quality images with fantastic detail in the shortest amount of time, using a combination of Photoshop CS5, Adobe Bridge, and Camera Raw. This course shows the most efficient ways to perform common editing tasks, including noise reduction, shadow and highlight detail recovery, retouching, and combining multiple images. Along the way, Michael shares the secrets of non-destructive editing, utilizing and mastering Adobe Bridge, Camera Raw, layers, adjustment layers, blending modes, layer masks, and much more. Exercise files are included with the course.
I want to give you a couple of tricks to transform and work with selections as you are creating them and getting them just right. Let's say I want to select the center of this flower in a rectangular shape. So, I have got my Rectangular Marquee tool chosen. I will press M if I don't have that. If for some reason, your current Selection tool is the Elliptical Selection tool instead of Rectangle, just press Shift+ M to toggle back and forth between the two. All right. So, again, when you make a selection, typically the behavior is you start in one corner and drag to the other. I always get a chuckle out of watching brand new people, because it takes a while to get used to where you are supposed to start the click.
So, here I didn't start in the right corner all the way, because I am clipping the top of that center of that flower. So, most people are like, "oh, I started in the wrong spot!" and they click outside and they try again. Ah, well. That may be what they wanted. Let's say that you keep trying multiple times, and you are just not quite eying that right. Well, rather than starting over again while you are in the middle of making the selection, so you still have your mouse button down, you are dragging back and forth here, if you notice that it's not in the right position, simply hold down the Spacebar and reposition it. So, drag now.
Instead of adding and making the selection bigger, you are actually repositioning its starting point. So, move it to where you want it. When you have got it where you want it, let go of the Spacebar and keep dragging with the mouse. So, that lets you reposition the selection as you make it. So, let's say I wasn't paying attention. I slipped, I let go of the mouse, and I have now got my selection on the image here. And I want to reposition it. Well, that's simple,. Just go click in the middle of it and drag it. But what if I see that it's not quite the right shape and size? Well, I need to learn how to transform the selection, reshape it if you will.
Now, you don't want to do Free Transform, Command+T or Ctrl+T, because what that does is put a bounding box around the selection that you have, but Free Transform actually works on pixels. You can see I am actually scaling those pixels and cutting a hole out of the background there. That's not what I wanted. So, I am going to press the Escape key. We don't want to use Free Transform. We want to use a different command under the Select menu called Transform Selection. It works exactly the same in terms of putting a bounding box around the marching ants there, the Selection Marquee.
But instead of actually transforming pixels, you are just transforming the actual rectangle. So, it lets you resize it and reshape it, and gives you a little bit more flexibility. So, if you didn't get the selection right the first time as you were dragging it out, don't worry about it. Just go to the Transform Selection command. It's under the Select menu. Make your transformation. You can even rotate it. Just like everything you can do with Free Transform, instead of transforming pixels, you are transforming that selection. When you think you have it the way you want it, just press the Enter key and there is your transformed selection.

New entrants to veterinary IVD are to be expected due to the low technical and regulatory market barriers and recent superior market performance to clinical IVD. But this has played out especially in pet diagnostics where growth has ridden increasing consumer spending on pets, especially on pet health care, according to latest Kalorama Information report.
New York, NY (PRWEB) April 14, 2014
Recent market entrants and product introductions to U.S. veterinary diagnostics have predominated in the companion animal or pet segment, according to recent analysis by Kalorama Information. The IVD market research publisher found the expected industry trend play out as stable epidemiological factors among U.S. livestock did little to expand the food animal diagnostics market. These market developments matched the short-term outlook presented by Kalorama Information in its report The World Market for Veterinary Diagnostics, and Kalorama says there will likely be more entrants.
Since 2012, new market players for animal disease test kits in the United States Biogal/Galed Laboratories, Princeton BioMeditech, and InBios have launched approved tests for canine distemper, canine heartworm, and West Nile virus. Overall, nearly half of the infectious disease tests introduced between 2012 and 2014 in the United States were for companion animal diseases, disproportionate to the significantly wider portfolio of livestock disease tests. Companion animal diagnostics continues to represent the more attractive market opportunity and segment in veterinary diagnostics.
New entrants to veterinary IVD are to be expected due to the low technical and regulatory market barriers and recent superior market performance to clinical IVD, report analyst Emil Salazar related. But this has played out especially in pet diagnostics where growth has ridden increasing consumer spending on pets, especially on pet health care.
The United States has not supported as robust a food animal diagnostics market as Europe, where several disease eradication programs boosted livestock testing in the past decade. In the review of new products introduced to the U.S. veterinary diagnostics market between 2012 and 2014, Kalorama Information found 14 livestock infectious disease tests delisted (as part of portfolio management or company withdrawal from the market) and 9 introduced (in most cases with competitive tests already on the market). Three of the delisted tests were from vendors still offering another test product for the same target disease. The near equal rates of product addition and attrition indicate a largely static market for U.S. livestock infectious disease diagnostics. Market growth is predicated upon disease outbreaks and management; the United States has seen no recent, market-significant outbreaks and active disease eradication programs have focused overwhelmingly on industry practices and vaccination.
Overall, the food animal diagnostics market is being undercut by falling testing rates for BSE [bovine spongiform encephalopathy] and BVD [bovine viral diarrhea] in the number one market, Europe, noted Salazar. Behind Europe is a relatively placid North American market, and then the rest of the world including its developing industrial agriculture schemes. While the timing and nature of zoonotic and livestock disease outbreaks cannot be predicted, developing countries implementation of disease control and eradication programs can be expected to drive global demand for food animal diagnostics.
Disease drivers just arent present in livestock testing like they are in veterinary care. Treatment and the level of clinical care for pets are improving, and so [companion animal] diagnostics have an increasingly greater role to play in clinical decision making, said Salazar.
Kalorama Informations report, The World Market for Veterinary Diagnostics, provides more information including breakouts for various segments of veterinary diagnostics, and discussions of trends in the industry. Profiles of key competitors are also included. The report can be found at: http://www.kaloramainformation.com/Veterinary-Diagnostics-7025815/.

Two weeks after calling Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) a horrible woman, CNN's Jack Cafferty said the House Speaker's arrogance was breathtaking.
During Tuesday's "Situation Room," Cafferty addressed the report the CBS "Evening News" did the previous day on the out of control spending by members of Congress at last month's United Nations climate summit in Copenhagen.
"Her arrogance on this subject: breathtaking," said Cafferty of the Speaker's failure to "explain why it was necessary for her and her colleagues to make the trip to Copenhagen in the first place."
He marvelously continued, "I'd be curious to know where Nancy Pelosi gets her sense of entitlement to simply blow hundreds of thousands of dollars of our money at Christmas time so she and her pals can take a little trip to Copenhagen" (video embedded below the fold with transcript, h/t Story Balloon):
