There are many things that we, as MMO gamers, feel very passionately about yet sometimes spend way too much time talking about, arguing fruitlessly. In The List today, we take a look at the top five horses we love to beat into oblivion. Check it out and then weigh in on the subject in the comments.

Maybe it's less complaining about it and more, creating valid points and counter points that he may be going for. The themepark vs. sandbox is totaly right on. They are opinions, unless the other person's opinion is that it's ok to punch you in face each time he sees you, then why are you getting so worked up about what some other person on the internet says lol.
Seriously though... pistachio? *shudder* I attack your opinion!*

Yeah those topic was , are and will be endlessly discussed cause those are core of mmropg's.
What took worst 'hit' in recent years is immersion though.
Swtor tried to build immersion and while it works for some part of players , it does not work for me. Just VO and cutscene does not build immersion at all for me. (especially that many of them are just silly)
Virtual world does. (see non-MMO Skyrim) Sadly no AAA developer is trying to create one.
Instead they create mmropg's that are clearly NOT-disguised games. From first minutes since first log in - you obviously know you're in game.
Even more with recent cash shops and freemium things. Even best immersion is immedietaly and irreversably ruined for me when there is cash shop in game. It is like this big sign "This is game, we give you items and stuff for your RL $ or euros". Destroy level playing field as well, etc

These five topics are the most important aspects of an MMO to people that already fans of the genre. That is like saying representation, abstraction, form and color are dead horses in the art world. It is actually the opposite of what you imply by this list.
Getting my swings in:
- it's not really a dead horse when companies aren't balancing their games to make them the best releases they can be even after spending an insanely large amount of money ($200mil anyone?)
- there are things she left out that have been discussed in the forums forever like cash shops and freemium vs b2p models
- endgame woes is absolutely on par, are they going to keep throwing us dogturds like endgame raiding as the only means of advancement or what? Where's the innovation?
- pvp and imbalance - if every company doesn't begin following the rule that GW2 will be implementing at the launch of their game where they separated the code for the pvp and pve skills, then the backlash they get from the community as a whole is their own fault, it's 2012 folks time to roll out the newest code for the newest games, using the time honored tradition of being lazy isn't going to cut it, i don't care what the IP is.
- where are all the sandpark games? you know just enough of each to be enjoyable? how long ago were mmo's created that these companies can't balance that one? and why aren't companies learning from the mistakes of other mmo's along the way is no one hired for corporate mmo history on the devs teams these days?

Sugar and spice and MMOs.
On the topic of immersion...
To a large degree creating a virtual environment in which a player can feel immersed in that world of course falls squarely on the developers' shoulders. This includes everything from presentation (graphics, art direction, customization options, etc) to well thought out questlines~or not so well thought out (!). Decent player housing is one of the best ways a game can help me feel attached to that world. Clunky, in-your-face UI's and glossing over too many of the little things, however, are not.
That being said, a lot of my attempts at staying immersed, even in games where the developers have done a pretty good job on their side, are wrecked (or at least have been greatly interfered with) by *actual players*, oh and bots, defintely bots.
Examples include players jumping everywhere, leet speak & attitude, silly or disgusting in-game names, arguing about dumb things in global, players just being rude to one another, getting kicked from groups for no reason other than being perceived as 'newb', being asked what I made my husband for dinner, hearing Darth Vader eating cheetos in your headset, gold sellers PMing me, people racing to endgame (it's the journey people, the journey!), unsolicited duel challenges (then they call you something rude for declining), people dancing on mailboxes, people and *their freakin huge dinosaur mounts* jamming around npcs and in buildings, general griefing, the list goes on and on. I guess it's kind of funny, but at the same time it's not. It kills immersion, and it has nothing to do with how immersive the game itself may actually be (to me). Oh well. /endrant. ^.^
Btw, that poor horse (first picture)!

Sandbox is the future of MMOs, I dont know how anyone can argue that. Thats the whole attraction of MMOs for me, other players. If I wanted to be led through a game Id play a single player title. If you give players the ability to create the content themselves then there will always be new content. Shooters that let people mod the game is a prime example. One of the most widely played shooters ever started as a mod (Counter Strike) and I got so much replayability from Call of Duty, Unreal Tournament, and Battlefield because of mods.

I agree. That's also a very good point about the modded community. Come to think of it, that's the real reason I kept playing those old games for so long, e.g., Galactic Conquest Mod, Desert Combat Mod, GI Joe Mod, etc.
Sandbox is certainly the future. The current and terrible track record of Theme Parks should show this.

Endgame is definitely what kills it for me. I'm truly not bothered by either extreme, with SWTOR being insanely easy to level or original FFXI/EQ I taking everything you've got to make it to that max level. My problem is content waiting for me when I get there. I have found that more recently, these MMOs just have nothing to offer in the way of innovative end game content, it just turns into the same gear grind. Now, I know for me personally I get nostalgic at the end games of titles like FFXI where there was almost TOO many things to do, where you literally had no excuse to be bored ever because things were waiting for your group / linkshell to get them done. I just think about that, a game from 2003 and compare it with what was waiting for me when I hit 50 on my sorc in SWTOR and I almost feel like this genre has gone backwards, especially when they spent so much money for so little.
For now I've gone back to FFXIV. Game was complete shit at the beginning, and it's still pretty bad in some regards (mostly ways to level up). The difference is when you are max level in that game there are still way more things to do with your guild in that game than SWTOR, and I feel like there is something seriously wrong with that picture. I'm hoping Bioware can make some serious improvement and provide me with other ways of progressing my character outside of the whole useless pve/pvp gear grind that we are all too familiar with from other titles. At least you know I'm willing to go back and give other games a shot if they make improvements since I'm playing FFXIV now =P The difference is at least SE admits they made big mistakes. BW for now is mostly just covering them up ><

The blended sandboxy-centric gaming model has always been preferred, imho, by most that really enjoy mmorpgs.
The OP isn't writing anything new. This article from 2-years ago says it all. http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/4489/the_icelandic_model_of_mmo_.php
There is a reason why 60-70% of mmorpg box purchasers to subscription-based mmorpg's begin to unsubscribe 3-months post-launch to these supposed AAA titles once launched.
They are experienced for what they are, SW:TOR being the most recent; virtual micro social networks with heavily emphasized single-player content and very limiting group or large-scale community content.
Boiled-down to a combination of independence in major game-play combined with 4-person static instances or 10-person vs 10-person third-person timed pvp matches that contributes nothing to massively-multiplayer organic community-based in the slightest. Such products do nothing but highlight the profound nature of the lobby-system-like single-player rpg that one is influenced into purchasing with grossly inaccurate reviews like the one on this site, that make it appear as though said game is an immersive massively-multiplayer game.
Save Rift and EVE, which I think have the better elements of massively-multiplayer, I think the mmorpg enthusiast market will continue to say otherwise with their wallets, that most recently delivered products fall way short of expectation compared to those farcical reviews, as evident by metacritic.

MMO companies look at the past successes and failures and usually try to build on them. If I had a MMO company and I wanted to make a profit, I'd make a themepark. That's what makes money. And after all, that's what MMO companies want.

"A strange game. The only winning move is not to post."
The sad fact of the matter is the reason all of these never ending litanies of bitching exist is due solely to the inherent weaknesses of the MMORPG platform.
That is the only true dead horse that needs to stop being beaten, at least until these companies are willing to try to improve on earlier designs rather than just slavishly copy what worked for someone else.

The more you hype an upcoming game in your mind, the more it will fail to meet your expectations.
5) Personally I found UO to be by far, the most immersive MMO I've ever played. The game world and gameplay in general was very non-linear. When you started the game you could choose where to go and what to do with your character right out the gate. The game mechanics also offered a wide variety of skill choices, which you could mix and match to make a character that fit your play style. You weren't restricted to a specific class, or a specific line of tasks you had to perform in order to advance -- which is what questing is.
4) The grind seems to be an issue for most. But again I found UO to be the best MMO in this regard. You didn't have to be the absolute max skill to enjoy the game. Even things a noobie character could do had value in the game world. For example creating a brand new character and going out mining, the ore and metal they produced was still wanted by GM smiths for crafting. Likewise being a brand new combat character you could kill orcs for gold and weapons, and sell the weapons to smiths to melt down... or alternatively you could hunt deer to skin and sell their leather to tailors. In the later game you could still participate in 'end game' content such as killing dragons, without being maxed out in your skills. Sure being maxed out helped, but it wasn't absolutely required. In the end, the game was more about the journey than the destination.
3) I've never, ever, seen an MMO that does PvP truly well. I honestly don't think there will ever be one. That's why I tend to avoid PvP in MMOs, and PvP heavy MMOs. If I want a fix of PvP, I stick to games made explicitly for it such as Battlefield or TF2.
2) It's preference yes. But honestly I think the arguement is more linear versus non-linear gameplay. Though with SWTOR, it seems like even many of the gamers who do prefer themeparks still find a game like SWTOR too confined and linear. I don't have any problem with the existence of themepark MMOs. They can be fun from time to time, hell I played WoW for six years. My only real gripe on the topic is that there aren't more decent quality sandbox MMO options available.
1) The endgame issue is one borne out of linear content design. When low level characters and content are easily overshadowed and made irrelevant by higher levels, you fall into end-game syndrom. Players feel the need to rush to the end because they feel like the more time they spend at low levels is a waste. Why would you want to take your time leveling when in the grand scheme everything you do is relatively useless until you get to max level? Which is why again I will point to UO, where your actions still held value no matter how advanced you were.

Your statement under # 2 "the argument is pointless" is not true. The argurment most Sandbox lovers are arguing, is if a polished sandbox game was ever made, more people may prefer this flavor of a game. The fact is the market is so dry of sandbox options. Large companies continue to feed us these themepark games. The day we stop arguing is the day we have given up hope. Which i'm sure a lot of sandbox gamers have already.

First off, you don't need balance in a pvp game. Want to know why? Because it is supposed to be played with others, a well knit group should be able to hold it's own against any of the Fotm people. Pvp should never be looked at from a solo perspective. DAoC had great pvp and none of the classes were balanced from a solo perspective.
Immersion is up to the individual. I think a quest less game supports that a bit better, but it is up to whoever wants it to allow it.
End game is for those theme parks that let you level to end game so fast. A skill based system really does not need nor have anything specifically end game.
A skill based system like Eve has really no grind, just time in game. You just have to specialize your skills initially.
So you might beat those dead horses, but I really don't think they are horses in the perspective you are using.

The Wyoming County Sheriff's Office says a 42-year-old woman is dead following an off-road crash.
Deputies were called to a wooded area off Horton Road in the town of Eagle around 3:30 a.m. Sunday morning for a report of a woman down.
The victim, Sherrie Green of Kenmore, was brought to the roadside by friends after being involved in an accident, according to deputies. The friends told deputies she was breathing, but unresponsive. Green was taken by ambulance to Wyoming County Community Hospital where she later died.
Investigators say Green was part of a group of friends who were off-road "mudding" on private property when one of the three Jeeps involved got stuck in deep mud. Deputies believe Green was accidentally hit by one of the Jeeps while helping to free the stuck vehicle.
Right now, deputies do not suspect any foul play and say no charges are pending.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A MINOR SAINTMonday, January 11th, 2010
The following review of Sarah Sloat's In the Voice of a Minor Saint, (© 2009, Tilt Press) is part of Read Write Poem's poetry review series.
What sounds come from a minor saint's mouth? What cadence, what mood, what music? Thinking of minor saints takes me back to my childhood. A soon-to-be-woebegone Catholic boy, I would drift in and out of reveries during mass, look up occasionally toward the front where the priest stood among a selection of heaven's all stars in statue form: Mary, Jesus, John the Baptist, etc. Meanwhile, a sculpture of the boyish saint after whom the parish was named stood off to the side: St. Aloysius, or, as I called him, St. Al. Dressed in a frock, holding a book, he was an imp in the land of giants, a minor saint with a voice that couldn't have been much more than a pip.
St. Al's path toward sainthood reads as an interesting journey. Wikipedia does a fine job with the crib notes, and a few things stand out: he took a vow of chastity at age nine; he suffered from kidney trouble his entire life — Louise Hay might connect this to shame, criticism, and child-like reactions; his piety was such that he was too polite to look his queen in the face; he followed the Jesuit order much to the chagrin of his father, who had wanted him to be a soldier and, upon accepting this wouldn't happen, at least wanted him to do something other than join the priesthood, which meant he would yield his rights to what would have been a substantial inheritance; and he died at the tender age of 23 at midnight on the summer solstice, in accordance with a vision he'd had a few days earlier. (Today he's the patron saint of young students, Christian youth and AIDS patients.)
From this history we get the picture of a young man who walked away from a family legacy, who failed to live up to his father's wishes, who transferred his own quiet suffering — on top of kidney disease, he was plagued with chronic headaches, skin diseases and insomnia — into a life of asceticism and spiritual awareness through isolation. His voice reaches through the darkness not in sobs but in the whisper of everyday prayers that balance on the edge of his lips; not self-righteous, but certainly self-aware; removed from the malaise, his spirit dips inward then beams out.
Sloat's work possesses a similar sense of self-awareness and in-but-out beaming. We first encounter this passive separation in "Opportunity," the short musing that leads the collection:
"There was a sound like a moccasin dropping
in the upstairs apartment."
We all know that sound, and if don't, we at least know the sound of movement above us. Two more sounds follow: a boy shouts in Cantonese "near the end of the street," and a radio wavers "between stations." Sloat's narrator is away from these sounds, within earshot but unaffected by thoughts of "I wonder what it all means?" The reader, too, comes in from these sounds, floats down and lands in the room with the narrator who's busy becoming "marvelous."
We never know to what opportunity the poem alludes. We don't need to know. Sloat could have written an entirely different poem filled with opportunities lost and found. Instead we drop into this world of sounds we do not own; rather than seek sense or reason behind the sounds, we remain happily aloof, preparing for whatever opportunity waits.
One thought is that the opportunity is actually an invitation to turn the page and encounter "Pursuit," where a similar sounding narrator goes through her morning rituals of coffee, cigarette, toast, horoscope and comic strip. Here Sloat has filled in many of the lines she left blank in "Opportunity." The narrator brings us further in, moving from reflection into the self:
"Subversive joy of a broken heart, salt wallow
here's to the suffering my father predicted
ah if he only knew
how beautiful
pain and ecstasy
as Christoph says, what a pair — "
Despite the gravity of these lines, there's a strange, almost surreal playfulness in the music that reminds me of the Beatles "A Day in the Life."
( "Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head…" )
A poet of Sloat's skill could easily build a collection on "day in the life" poetry. For the purpose of this volume, she has other songs to sing.
We finally meet her minor saint muse in the third poem, which bears the same title as the collection. Saint Appolonia, perhaps more humble than even our friend Saint Al, was a second-century virgin martyr who today is considered the "protectress against toothaches." Here, Sloat's narrator considers her own humble origins:
"I came at a wee hour
into my miniature existence."
The voice, we discover, belongs to someone with a small heart, "like a love of buttons or black pepper." And isn't it so with all minor saints? These quiet ones of the dream come down to earth's realm whenever there's a lost cause (St. Jude), a bell in need of making (St. Agatha), a case of gout (St. Anthony) or a secretary having a bad day (St. Catherine of Siena). Meanwhile, Sloat's language conjures a tender visage, creating the desire to cradle these poems, to rub your fingers through their smooth hair, to whisper how wonderful they are, to remind them the world is more beautiful with them in it.
Such passages truly make your heart ooze, and show up again and again throughout the collection. In "Ghazal with Heavenly Bodies," we meet a moon full of "nicks and bite marks;" in "Humidity," we're reminded that "paradise may be built in a day but the rest takes time." But Sloat's work is not simply a batch of flowers and sweetness. In "Vestment," a short, sharp narrative that closes the collection, we arrive "On the morning of my ruin," and don "a vest of bees as the sun crimps the sky."
Perhaps Sloat considers herself a minor saint in the vast cannon of modern poetry. Only she could say. Whatever the case, after reading and re-reading this collection, I feel she's a tenacious spirit with a curious nature and thirst for language. Hopefully we'll be enjoying the illumined sound of her soft voice for many years.
According to the bio on her blog, Sarah Sloat is a worker ant who currently lives in Frankfurt, Germany. Visit her site to learn more about her and her work.

text: CBS3 highlighted the continued expansion of care and research in the Roberts Proton Therapy Center, which now offers treatment to patients with cancers of the prostate, brain and spinal cord, sarcomas, recurrent cancers for which further treatment with conventional radiation would not be safe, and other types of tumors. The story highlighted an 18-year-old patient, Danielle Palaferro, who will be among the first Hodgkins lymphoma patients to be treated with proton therapy, which her family said they sought out because it will be delivered in a way that will reduce the chances of her developing breast cancer later in life. "It's very significant in decreasing long term side effects," said Robert Lustig, MD, director of Clinical Operations in the department of Radiation Oncology. "This allows you to spare more normal tissue. You can shape the beam and aim the beam, and not treat anything beyond where you want to treat." Danielle will be treated by Zelig Tochner, MD, vice chairman for proton therapy in the department of Radiation Oncology. The story also noted the Radiation Oncology faculty's role in leading last week's meeting of the international Particle Therapy Co-Operative Group, which brought more than 500 physicians and medical physicists to Philadelphia to learn about proton therapy from Penn radiation oncologists and tour the Roberts Proton Therapy Center.

The Prophet's Night Journey and Ascension
17:1: "Praise be to God Who has enraptured His servant by night from the Sacred mosque (Mecca) to the Farthest Mosque (Jerusalem)."
33:56: "Lo! God and His angels shower blessings on the Prophet. O ye who believe; ask blessings on him and salute him with a worthy salutation."
53: 1-18: "By the star when it setteth, Your companion erreth not, nor is deceived:
Nor doth he speak of his own desire.
It is naught save an inspiration that is inspired,
Which one of mighty powers hath taught him,
One vigorous; and he grew clear to view
When he was on the uppermost horizon.
Then he drew near and came down
Till he was distant two bows' length or even nearer,
And He revealed unto His slave that which He revealed.
The heart lied not in seeing what it saw.
Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he seeth?
And verily he saw him yet another time
By the lote-tree of the utmost boundary,
Nigh unto which is the Garden of Abode.
When that which shroudeth did enshroud the lote-tree,
The eye turned not aside nor yet was overbold.
Verily he saw one of the greater revelations of his Lord.
God ordered Gabriel to go down with seventy thousand angels to the Prophet Muhammad, Peace be upon him, and stand by his door. "Accompany him to My presence. And you, Michael, take the hidden knowledge and go down with seventy thousand angels and stand by the door of his bedroom. You, Israfil, and you Azra'il, do as Gabriel and Michael have been ordered." Then He said to Gabriel: "Increase the light of the moon with the light of the sun, and increase the light of the stars with the light of the moon." Gabriel asked: "O God, has the Day of resurrection dawned?" God said: "No, but tonight We are calling to Our presence the Prophet, the last Messenger who came after Jesus to reveal to him a secret that pertains to Us." Gabriel said: "O God, what is that secret?" God said: "O Gabriel, the secret of kings cannot be given to the servants. Go with My order and don't ask."
And Gabriel began his descent carrying with him the heavenly message. All the angels accompanied him as God had ordered, until they reached the door of the Prophet. When they arrived, they said: "Qum ya sayyidi: Arise, my Master, and prepare yourself! Ride on the back of the Buraq, the heavenly creature that will carry you on your journey to the Lord of Power through the land of the angels!"
The Buraq (Heavenly Beast)
When God ordered Gabriel to carry with him the Buraq for the Prophet to ride, he went to the Paradise of buraqs and there he found forty million buraqs. Every buraq had a crown on its forehead inscribed with the words: "There is no god except God, and Muhammad is His Messenger." Under it was written: "Believe in Me, in My angels, in My holy books, and in My prophets." Gabriel saw among them a buraq who secluded himself and who sat alone crying. Gabriel came to him and asked him why he was in such a state. The Buraq answered: "I heard the name of Muhammad forty thousand years ago, and my yearning for him has prevented me from eating and drinking." Gabriel chose that buraq and he took him.
The Buraq had the body of a horse but the face of a human being, with big black eyes and soft ears. His color was that of a peacock whose plumage was set with red rubies and corals, on which sat a white head of musk on a neck of amber. His ears and shoulders were of pure white pearls attached with golden chains, each chain decorated with glittering jewels. His saddle was made of silk lined with silver and gold threads. His back was covered with green emerald and his halter was pure peridot.

Press Release:
Holden Joins Forces With Protect Our Winters To Spread Environmental Activism
To Spread Environmental Activism
Portland, OR/USA - February 16th, 2012 - Holden is proud to announce our new tee shirt collaboration with Protect Our Winters (POW) to be released August 2012. Holden artist John Phemister, aka Goo, has designed a unique collection of tee shirts featuring abstract watercolor art titled "The Four Elements".
All proceeds from this collection will go towards POW's recently launched Coal Kills Snow coalition. The project is dedicated to shutting down coal mines and spreading education about environmental destruction from mining practices and coal burning. Coal is the number one contributor to global climate change.
To stop this, Holden and POW have come together to ensure there is snow to play in for our future generations to come. Holden X Pow tee shirts will be available at holdenouterwear.com and selected shops.
"Holden is exactly the kind of partner that we love to work with. They understand that business can lead the environmental solution and we're really excited to focus the proceeds of this partnership on an environmental issue in their backyard, that should be top of mind for all of us", said Chris Steinkamp, Executive Director of POW.
"Holden continues to seek out ways to improve our process. Working with POW gives us a whole new way to help. While we are doing what we can to make our products better, we can also take action to raise awareness and help stop others who are not making the best choices for the earth with the help of POW", said Holden CEO, Ben Pruess.
"Chris (Steinkamp) and Jeremy (Jones, Founder of POW) have really shown such a passion and made an impact in fight for change. We wanted to support them in the ongoing efforts. At the end this is the
only play round we have and we would like to pass it on."
Protect Our Winters (POW) was started in 2007 by pro snowboarder Jeremy Jones who witnessed first-hand the impact of climate change on our mountains. After having been turned away from areas that had once been rideable and seeing resorts closed due to lack of snow, Jeremy saw a gap between the winter sports community and the action being taken by us all to address the problem. Snow-based recreation in the United States is estimated to contribute $67 billion annually to the US economy and supports over 600,000 jobs.
So when we look at the cost of inaction, it's serious business. We represent the global snow sports community – there are 21 million of us in the US alone. Clearly, it's time for us all to step up and take responsibility to save a season that fuels our passions but is also the foundation for our livelihoods, our jobs and the economic vitality of our mountain regions.
Protect Our Winters is the environmental center point of the global winter sports community, united towards a common goal of reducing climate change's effects on our sports and local economies. POW was founded on the idea that the collective power of the winter sports community is massive, and if we can all work together, the end result can be revolutionary. Together We Can Protect Our Winters. More information on POW can be found at protectourwinters.org or by contacting email@example.com
Holden outerwear, is the modern, independent outerwear brand. Timeless quality, market-leading style, innovative ideas, eco-friendlier options and an openness to be yourself— are the principles that set us apart.
Based in Portland, OR and Founded by renowned professional snowboarder Mikey LeBlanc and designer Scott Zergebel, Holden grew out of a desire to bring street fashion to the mountain. Holden fills the void in the market for progressive aesthetics and companies with a conscience.
2012 marks the 10 year anniversary of Holden widely recognized leader in style trends, fabric and
technical innovations, and environmentally committed outerwear. From inception, Holden has sought a singular goal: creating products that make people happier and healthier in the pursuit of a life well led.

Duke's modernist-Islamic shrine
Shangri La conjures up eternal youth and paradise in some exotic location. On more earthly grounds, in 1937 Doris Duke (1912-1993) built a house near Diamond Head in Honolulu with her first husband, James Cromwell, named it Shangri La, and decorated it as if it might have been built by a Sultan who lived in 15th century Spain or 17th century India.
A re-creation of that house by using large photographs, interior decorations borrowed from the house and architectural sketches are part of this exhibition. Rounding out the show is the work of six contemporary artists, whose work is in response to Shangri La as they understood it when they were part of its artists-in-residence program.
The name Doris Duke has special significance in Durham. Her parents were Nanaline Holt Inman and James B. Duke, the founder of Duke University, and her grandfather was Washington Duke. When she was 13, her father died and she became one of the richest people in the world. We know very little about her life until she married at age 22. We do know her mother refused to let her go to college and instead took her on the grand tour of Europe.
It is also a matter of record she sued her mother during those years to stop her from selling some of the family assets. As cavalier as she seemed about friends and money, she was an astute business woman and the trusts grew sizably throughout her life. From an early age she established charitable foundations and before she died, she had carefully set up the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation to carry on her interests in the arts, environment, medical research and child abuse prevention.
The Nasher's assistant curator, Katie Adkins, walked me through the exhibition, pointing out how the galleries had been rearranged into smaller spaces to simulate a home environment. A wall-size photograph in a light box welcomes us to the exhibition; it is a picture of one of the sitting rooms. Other photographs pop out from the wall of each gallery, adding to the feel we are walking through three-dimensional space.
It is difficult to separate the Duke who generated sensational headlines from the very young American woman who went on an around-the-world honeymoon and fell in love with Islamic art. The exhibit focuses on this heiress as rich, but hands-on, with a keen aesthetic eye and a determination to turn Islamic architectural ideas into a real place where quiet beauty and tranquility abounded.
India was one of the last of the honeymoon stops and, after a visit to the Taj Mahal, she immediately hired Indian craftsmen to design a bedroom and bath for her new home (which was originally planned for Florida) in marble with motifs she saw in the decorations of this glorious monument. Newly married, Duke was one of the richest people in the world, but she was not just a shopper. She had a good eye and was in tune with other rich Americans who were collecting exotic art, although only a handful were interested in things Islamic.
Duke, however, was not looking for museum art; she was buying things to live with. And, in most cases, she was commissioning ceilings, walls and doors crafted by contemporary artisans. In an interview on NPR with Frank Stasio, Deborah Pope, the executive director of Shangri La, said museums that collected Islamic art would "kill" for some of the objects Duke collected, but would also pass by many others, because they were "bazaar" art. The point was made over and over: Duke bought what she liked and lived with it and while the house might sound like a hodgepodge it was a beautiful blend of objects across the Islamic world.
In her foreword to the exhibition catalogue Pope wrote that Shangri La melds 1930s modernist architecture with "traditions from India, Morocco, Iran, Syria and a large collection of Islamic art." Duke called it "a Spanish-Moorish-Persian-Indian complex."
As we walk through the rooms there are rugs and old fabrics in cases on the walls, lighting fixtures hanging from the ceiling and various objects that were originally arranged throughout the house, either to be used or to be enjoyed from some wall niche. There is much to look at and well-written wall labels for those who want to know more. Everything deserves a stop. My favorites include a delicate "Kursi (Qur'an stand)," Egyptian 1900s; a 19th century Indian hand mirror; a pair of gold Indian bracelets studded with rubies and diamonds; and two magnificent door panels of filigreed ivory. One of the very few representations of a human form is the Iranian painting "Woman with a Cat," late 18th century; the wall text labels it "late, decadent, and European influenced."
Duke was a woman of great taste, a keen sense of business but a poor judge of people. And so there is the Doris Duke of the tabloids. Her second husband, Porfirio Rubirosa, a handsome Dominican, had such dubious connections the American government insisted he sign a pre-nuptial agreement to protect the estate in the case of her untimely death. That marriage ended within the year. Duke covered a $5 million bail bond for her friend Imelda Marcos who, with her husband, was under indictment for looting $100 million from the Philippines.
Along the way she became a follower of Hare Krishna and met a young woman whom she legally adopted only to later renounce the adoption. In a tragic accident, she ran over and killed her interior decorator who was opening the gate to the driveway, and finally she left her butler in control of her trusts. For those who
sniff that it is just a bunch of stuff put together by a rich woman, realize that it is much more than that. The exhibition offers us a look into a home that is simple yet rich in the beauty of Islamic decoration. And who doesn't love a peep into the lives of the super rich?

sharepoint standardly deletes detail of history of workflow for the file after 60 days. Does Nintex workflow use standard sharepoint history mechanism, so should we expect the same behavior ?
Thank you
Hi iku
The history will be retained.
When SharePoint cleans up workflow history after 60 days, it does not actually delete items from the history list. It just removes the association between the SharePoint workflow history page and the list item. Also, the workflow status column will change to empty.
When you go to the Nintex workflow history page (from the 'view workflow history' link in the menu item), and click through to the text view, there are three sections:
Action log
Task information
Action log and Task information is taken from our database, and the Message section is taken from the history list. We do not automatically purge data from the database, and as SharePoint doesn't actually remove items from the history list after 60 days, all the data will remain.
Sorry to openup this topic again. But I'm a little bit confused with this answer because also saw this topic: http://connect.nintex.com/forums/thread/1486.aspx
So is it so that entries in "view workflow history" will always show the full history, but the entries under "workflows" will be cleaned up?
Yes, that is correct and the automatic cleanup can be disabled, as decried in this tech net article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc298800.aspx.

Use Amazon S3, Rackspace Cloud Files, etc. with Opal¶
Opal uses CarrierWave for file uploads, and can easily be configured to store files with third party cloud services such as Amazon S3, Rackspace Cloud Files, Google Storage, and more. This is a great way to run Opal on Cloud servers like Heroku, etc. that prevent you from storing files locally.
Opal automatically looks for a config file located at config/upload.yml. This file defines custom settings for uploading files. If Opal can't find this file, it uses the default in-house storage method that will store uploaded files inside the application directory. If the file does exist, Opal will load in the settings from the config file. Opal also comes with several example config files for S3 and Rackspace that have most of the required settings already set up.
- Note: most of the configuration settings in upload.yml are identical to CarrierWave configuration settings.
Using Opal with Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service)¶
To use Amazon S3 with Opal, go ahead and copy the S3 example config file to upload.yml.
cp config/upload.yml.s3 config/upload.yml
Next, open up config/upload.yml in your favorite text editor and paste in your account and bucket information (which is found in your Amazon AWS account).
# Example Configuration File for Amazon S3 Uploads :upload: :storage: :fog # storage method: file, fog(for s3 and rackspace cloud files), etc. :fog_credentials: :provider: AWS :aws_access_key_id: xxx :aws_secret_access_key: yyy :region: 'eu-west-1' # optional :fog_directory: path/to/your/bucket # required, this is your bucket #:fog_host: www.example.com #:fog_public: false # optional, defaults to true #:config.fog_attributes = # 'Cache-Control':'max-age=315576000'
That's all there is to it! Restart Opal and start uploading like a crazy person.
Using Opal with Rackspace Cloud Files¶
To use Rackspace Cloud Files with Opal, go ahead and copy the example config file to upload.yml.
cp config/upload.yml.rackspace config/upload.yml
Next, open up config/upload.yml in your favorite text editor and paste in your RackSpace account information.
# Example Configuration File for Rackspace Cloud Files :upload: :storage: :fog # storage method: file, fog(for s3 and rackspace cloud files), etc. :fog_credentials: :provider: Rackspace :rackspace_username: xxx :rackspace_api_key: yyy :fog_directory: path/to/your/directory # required, this is your bucket #:fog_host: "c000000.cdn.rackspacecloud.com"
Save your changes...and...you're done. Restart Opal and go wild!
Mixing and matching storage types¶
Currently, you cannot mix and match storage types with Opal. This means that if you have been uploading files locally, then you decide to switch to Amazon S3, you need to manually upload those local files to your 3rd party account(in this case, your Amazon S3 bucket).

Recovery after DROP & CREATE
In a very popular data loss scenario a table is dropped and empty one is created with the same name. This is because mysqldump in many cases generates the "DROP TABLE" instruction before the "CREATE TABLE":
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `actor`;
/*!40101 SET @saved_cs_client = @@character_set_client */;
/*!40101 SET character_set_client = utf8 */;
CREATE TABLE `actor` (
`actor_id` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`first_name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`last_name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`last_update` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (`actor_id`),
KEY `idx_actor_last_name` (`last_name`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=201 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
/*!40101 SET character_set_client = @saved_cs_client */;
If there were no subsequent CREATE TABLE the recovery would be trivial. Index_id of the PRIMARY index of […]

MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury College softball team won four of five home games this past weekend, including a three-game NESCAC West sweep that leaves the Panthers in a first-place tie in league play.
Overall, the Panthers are 14-8, 5-1 in league play. League rival Williams is 15-6, 5-1 in NESCAC West play. The Panthers host last-place Hamilton for a three-game set this Friday and Saturday, and will travel to Williams on April 25 and 26 for what will probably be a decisive series.
BRATTLEBORO — Host Brattleboro defeated the Otter Valley Union High School softball team on Thursday, 7-1, dropping the Otters to 0-2 heading into their spring break.
Both of the Division II Otters' setbacks have come to D-I teams on the road. They are now off until April 22, when they are scheduled to travel to Windsor.
