Googles Android Market isnt the only market in town
Android's open distribution model has spawned independent App stores, which, while now distinct from Google's, could wind up competitors
Industry News
Briefing Room
For more coverage of the Android launch see Telephonys Android topic page
The first Android phone, the HTC G1, launched over the T-Mobile network on Tuesday, and along with it opened the Android market, Googles application portal offering free apps for the device and future Android phones. But Android Market wasnt the only app store to go live serving G1 customers. Androids open distribution model has spawned parallel marketplaces from Handango and MobiHand, both looking to fill the paid-application niche.
At launch, the open-source Android community is entirely self-governing. Google wont restrict the type of apps that can be developed or distributed, as Apple did on the iPhone, nor will it restrict where or how those applications can be downloaded to the phone. The G1 handset comes embedded with a number of Google applications, such as Maps, Gmail and YouTube, but additional third-party applications including a MySpace app, mobile VoIP and the Weather Channel are available for free download at Android Market. Theres a lot more content and applications available to Android phone users if they want it though. Unlike the Apple model, which handles all downloads and transactions through the iTunes App store, customers can download Android apps from any other source, whether its from a third-party retailer or an independent developers Website. Specifically that open model has generated marketplaces for developers who want to charge for their content, something the Android store doesnt yet do. Application warehouses like Handango and MobiHand are the first to launch their own Android storefronts, offering both free and paid-for apps. As more app distribution sites come online, consumers will ultimately have far more choice in where they go for content, said Kevin Burden, director of mobile devices at ABI Research, but that fragmentation could also create a confusing competitive marketplace.
For the typical user, the danger is being somewhat confused by where do you actually go, Burden said. If Im a G1 user, why do I go to Handango versus Googles app store or vice versa? I think there will be some confusion, but I dont think its momentum-killing confusing. I dont think its a bad thing to have multiple locations for applications to be sold.

Semester at Sea is a pioneer and leader in global, comparative education—a form of international study that focuses on surveying the world's peoples, patterns, cultures, and traditions. Global, comparative education is the element that distinguishes Semester at Sea from other study abroad programs. Operating a traveling shipboard campus allows diverse learning communities to live and learn in close quarters as they travel the world, and SAS provides opportunities for intensive engagement, reflection, interaction, and exchange that simply aren't available with other programs. Field-based, experiential learning is a vital component of Semester at Sea. The ship becomes a campus where participants study in a traditional setting, while the world is transformed into an academic laboratory where students earn 20% of their grade. Field Labs are designed and led by a faculty member who has expertise in a particular culture, location, or subject matter. These in-port labs enhance and explore course content. SAS directed trips are led by staff or faculty. May be recommended by a faculty member as an excellent complement to a student's syllabus. Independent Practica are opportunities for a participant to conduct independent research. Requires faculty approval to count as fulfillment of field requirement.

Budapest (population 1.9 milliion) is Hungary's capital and largest city. The city consists of two cities in one--Buda and Pest, officially united in 1873. Today Budapest is full of life and has emerged from communism as a cosmopolitan city. Many tourists believe it is one of the hidden treasures of Central and Eastern Europe. The lanugage is fascinating and the Hungarian people are warm and welcoming.

This may come as a shock to those of us with kids, but having children isn't the be-all, end-all of existence. Not everyone needs to have them. But if you ask Canadian writer Joe O'Connor, those couples who choose not to have babies are "selfish." It's laughable, really.
As a mom of two who spends a lot of time around other moms, I can honestly say not EVERYONE should be a mom. In fact, very often I would say MOST people shouldn't be parents. There are a whole host of reasons not to procreate and only one compelling one to do so: You want kids and you want to raise them.
It's simple. If that isn't you, do the world a favor and don't have kids. Not everyone is cut out for late nights with sick babies, screaming fits for hours on end, and all the less fun parts of parenthood. Good for them for knowing that.
As a mother I would never suggest that someone needs a baby to have their life be whole. If anything, I sometimes envy those who don't have kids. I wouldn't trade my kids now that I know them, but sometimes I have twinges where I wish I had been able to consider the childless life.
Those who can are lucky!
Being childless isn't being empty. It doesn't mean being unhappy or being bad in any way. It isn't selfish. If anything, it's unselfish. It's better for our world (for more reasons than the environment) to not procreate. Why does the world need a bunch of kids whose parents didn't want them? What good does that do anyone?
No. No one should be called "selfish" for making the right choice for them. My guess is O'Connor is just jealous and he can't admit it. Maybe it just looks like the childless are having that much more fun.
Do you think it's selfish not to have kids?
I wish more people were selfish! You are right - the majority of parents shouldn't be!
As a foster Mom (and 1 biological) I know for a FACT that there are many people who should not have children! You have to take a test to drive a car, but not to raise a child. But then this brings about the "Who would make the test?" "How would it be enforced?" and so on. Nothing like this is ever easy with clear anything.
I think having kids and resenting them or not wanting them is selfish. If people who were going to be bad parents or didn't want kids couldn't have them, the world would be a better place.
Parenting is hard. I thought I had someone to help me by marrying, but my husband died recently and now I am a single mother wondering how I am going to do this on my own. If someone knows they don't want kids, good for them for knowing themselves that well.

Billy Gunn
Real Name
Monty Sopp
Date of Birth
November 1, 1963
Place of Birth
There were a lot of rumors over the weekend that Miz was going to be making his return to WWE on this week's episode of Monday Night Raw. However, that never happened. Word going around now is that management purposely decided to delay the return since the next episode will be taking place in his hometown of Cleveland. The return is expected to happen then.
June 11, 2014
As of right now, TNA has not announced the opponents for Ross Von Erich and Marshall Von Erich, the sons of Texas legend Kevin Von Erich, at Slammiversary 2014. Some rumors are floating around that they might be paired up with excellent ring workers in Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards, but others believe that they will be working against a heel tandem in order to generate a good reaction in front of their hometown fans in Dallas.
June 7, 2014
Since Monday Night Raw is in Indiana, WWE decided to have Damien Sandow doing a segment to taunt the fans by having him mock Lance Stephenson, who happens to play for the hometown Pacers. For those that do not follow the NBA, Stephenson recently generated a lot of headlines because he attempted to trash talk LeBron James during the playoffs and failed miserably.
June 2, 2014
Since the pay per view was in Chicago, many within WWE expected the fans to chant for CM Punk last night. They did just that throughout Payback 2014. However, some within the company were surprised to see a passionate please from the audience for WWE to utilize Dolph Ziggler. They chanted for him almost as much as they did for Punk, the hometown hero.
June 2, 2014
Rumors going around right now is that CM Punk will be making an appearance at Payback 2014 tonight because the event is taking place in his hometown of Chicago. However, the former WWE champion revealed that he will be approximately 20 miles down the road from the pay per view. Punk will be attending an NHL game instead of making his return to wrestling.
June 1, 2014
Since the final episode of Monday Night Raw before Wrestlemania 30 is in his hometown of Washington DC, Batista has been booked in a non title match against Randy Orton that evening. The belief is that WWE will make Batista look strong that night, so that fans will believe that Orton has a chance at losing the belt at the pay per view.
March 25, 2014
In a rather interesting bit of news, WWE did a live event in Long Island this weekend, and they purposely opted not to use Zack Ryder, the hometown hero. In what could be a show of defiance towards management, Dolph Ziggler did an in ring tribute to Zack Ryder during his match by doing a couple of his Ryder's signature moves.
March 24, 2014
A widespread belief in the industry is that if CM Punk were to return to WWE, it would have taken place at Monday Night Raw this week since it took place in his hometown of Chicago. The timing would have been great, and it would have enabled the creative department enough time to set him up for a big spot at Wrestlemania 30.
March 4, 2014
Rumors are heating up that CM Punk will be returning to WWE this week on Monday Night Raw, which is taking place in his hometown of Chicago. Nothing has been confirmed, however, and the belief is that a lot of this speculation is being fueled by wishful thinking. Vince McMahon has been trying to get through to Punk to get him back in time for Wrestlemania 30, though.
March 2, 2014
Since the company was doing shows simultaneously at both ends of the state, WWE decided to book Rey Mysterio up north instead of doing the show in his hometown. That turned out to be quite the costly mistake for management, as the show in San Diego drew very poorly at the gates without the popular masked star.
February 21, 2014
While WWE has often times chosen to humiliate performers when they're working in front of their hometown crowds, management opted to give Cameron a win on Monday Night Raw in Los Angeles. She posted this special message on Twitter to commemorate the night.
February 13, 2014
Since it is heavily integrated into his character, most fans associate Rey Mysterio with his hometown of San Diego. In a rather interesting move, WWE opted not to utilize him as the live event in that city over the weekend. Instead, he was sent up north to San Jose to work a six man tag team match featuring Mark Henry, Xavier Woods, Alberto Del Rio, Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro.
February 9, 2014
In a sign that the backstage heat is still there, WWE has removed CM Punk from advertisement for the upcoming episode of Monday Night Raw that is set to take place in his hometown of Chicago in March. Management was hoping that he would return by that point, in order to avoid being in a hostile environment filled with angry fans.
February 7, 2014
"I really am living the dream and returning to the UK, whatever the reaction, really tops its off. It has been a whirlwind year or so really but I can't think of a better way to top it off than with this tour and getting to wrestle for TNA in front of my hometown crowd. It might be a cliché but it really is a dream come true, I have wanted to be a wrestler for so long and now being able to do it, is just amazing."

While his character is said to be from the Sudan, the guy that portrayed Abdullah the Butcher was actually from Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

"My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the Ultimate Warrior. Rest in peace." - Billy Gunn on the death of the WWE legend
April 25, 2014
The belief backstage in WWE is that Road Dogg is going to be winding down his days as an active in ring performer now that Wrestlemania 30 is over and done with. His tag team partner Billy Gunn suffered an injury during the big six man tag team match at the pay per view, so management is contemplating a scenario where they are written off of television.
April 8, 2014
Since the performers have a tendency to go all out during the biggest wrestling pay per view of the year, it should come as no surprise that there were several Wrestlemania 30 injuries. Undertaker was sent to the hospital for a potential concussion and injured neck. Billy Gunn was said to be bleeding internally. A lot of other performers suffered the usual cuts and bruises. Rough night for WWE stars.
April 8, 2014
WWE.com is reporting that Billy Gunn suffered a serious injury during his match against Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 30. The report reveals that he was coughing up blood backstage after taking the triple power bomb from the Shield at the end of the match. No word yet on whether this is a story line or a legitimate injury.
April 7, 2014
At Wrestlemania 30, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns completely destroyed Kane, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn in a six man tag team match. The Shield captured the win over the Authority with a triple power bomb on both members of the New Age Outlaws at the same time. That led to an easy pin fall victory for the Shield at Wrestlemania.
April 6, 2014
While plans are constantly being changed throughout the week, WWE currently has Kane, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins in the opening match at Wrestlemania 30. The belief is that the audience in New Orleans should give these guys a nice pop since all six guys are fairly over.
April 5, 2014
Since the company is always searching for new talent, WWE held tryouts this past week. Running the event for the company were Bill DeMott, Norman Smiley, Tensai, Billy Gunn, Dean Malenko and William Regal. There were approximately 30 people trying out, with 20 of them having actual experience in professional wrestling.
April 1, 2014
Since management was having trouble trying to figure out where to put everyone, a last minute decision was made to do a six man tag team match so that WWE could get Kane, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins on the Wrestlemania 30 card. Reigns initially had a much bigger role on the pay per view.
March 25, 2014
In a sign that they still have a good amount of backstage power, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn have been pushing management to let them work with the Shield before WWE has Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins going their separate ways. It looks like the company will be giving them that chance at Wrestlemania 30 in the Kane story line.
March 21, 2014
Management is still trying to do decide what to do with Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso at Wrestlemania 30. While there were plans initially to have them involved in a big tag team match for the championship, those are in jeopardy of not coming to fruition because of the injuries to Road Dogg and Billy Gunn. They're still guaranteed a spot on the card, though.
March 16, 2014
There are those within WWE that want the tag team championship defended at Wrestlemania 30, and the favored match involves Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn. However, the chances of that happening all fall upon Road Dogg, who is currently suffering from a back injury. The Usos could be thrown into the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal if Road Dogg cannot work the tag match.
March 13, 2014
While a lot of fans are aware that Billy Gunn works as a trainer for WWE NXT, very few know the details of his work for the company. It has now been revealed that Gunn runs the advanced class, where developmental wrestlers who are close to being called up to the main roster, are taught the finer points by the former tag team champion.
March 10, 2014
Earlier, it was revealed that Road Dogg and Billy Gunn were both banged up, so WWE opted to put the tag team championship on Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso. Word is coming out now that Road Dogg has a bad back. He noted that was receiving treatment for the injury, and there is still a possibility that he ends up working the Wrestlemania 30 card.
March 8, 2014
The Usos were given the tag team championship recently, so that WWE could help to control the hostile audience at Monday Night Raw. Another reason for the change could be the health of Road Dogg and Billy Gunn. Both guys are said to be banged up a bit, as they ended up working a lot more matches that they initially thought they would.
March 8, 2014
When Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso captured the WWE tag team championship from Billy Gunn and road Dogg, they received a lot of congratulations messages from their peers, but the most meaningful one might have came from Booker T, their former trainer. He posted this message on Twitter to share how proud he is of his former students.
March 6, 2014
After winning the WWE tag team championship from Billy Gunn and Road Dogg, the Usos decided to pay tribute to their fallen uncle. Through Twitter, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso posted this special message and picture about Umaga, who is the younger brother of their father Rikishi.
March 5, 2014
While it was heavily rumored to take place at Wrestlemania 30, WWE opted to go with the title change on Monday Night Raw instead, so Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso are your new tag team champions. They were able to defeat Billy Gunn and Road Dogg for the belts early on in the show. The belief is that it was done to help appease the Chicago crowd.
March 4, 2014
On Monday Night Raw, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso were given a victory over Road Dogg and Billy Gunn, in order to get some heat back after losing at Elimination Chamber 2014. Apparently, WWE does not feel that it is important enough to include in the Hulu broadcast of the show this week. Despite that, the Usos are still expected to be on the Wrestlemania 30 main card.
February 25, 2014
Even though they lost at Elimination Chamber 2014, there are talks that Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso could be given a rematch tonight on Monday Night Raw. Since WWE wants it to be a special episode, they're wanting at least one title change to take place. Road Dogg and Billy Gunn could be the casualties of the creative department tonight.
February 24, 2014

For the first time in the history of the Atlantic Coast Conference, the coaches have voted their own All-ACC football team.
Like the All-ACC team voted on by the media, no Hokies made the first or second team offense. However, one Hokie on defense, linebacker Jack Tyler, did make the first-team, an honor not bestowed on any Virginia Tech player on the media's all-conference team.
The coaches voting Tyler to the first team defense was one of only three positions that didn't match up with the media's voting. The coaches chose Duke senior wide receiver (and the ACC's all-time leading receiver) Conner Vernon over Boston College's Alex Amidon; UNC offensive tackle James Hurst got the nod over Clemson's Brandon Thomas; and, of course, the aforementioned Jack Tyler from Virginia Tech beat out Virginia's Steve Greer (suck it again UVA!).
Other than those three positions, everything else was the same as the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association's (ACSMA) All-ACC team.
Here's how the 2012 Coaches All-ACC Football Team looks:

Ever since the X-Men movies came out I've missed the classic X-Men character costumes. You have to admit that these suits are better than black leather. Rogue is just not Rogue without looking like this.
Hopefully with the upcoming X-Men: First Class film they will go back to the traditional costumes we remember from the comics and cartoon series.

I Spit On Your Grave (Remake) Photo Gallery
In 1978, Meir Zarchi unleashed his low-budget horror film I Spit On Your Grave on an unsuspecting world only to see it heavily censored in America, banned outright in numerous countries and then to become one of the most controversial, disturbing and debated films of our time. Now, director Steven R. Monroe revisits Zarchi's cult exploitation classic with a remake that exceeds all expectations and, 32 years on from the original, looks likely to ignite the fires of controversy all over again. View photos from the remake…

And Now, Your Weekly Video Miscellany
Well there's no good way to talk about this week. So let's just take a moment to distract ourselves from the cray with another round of videos. You've had a long week, especially those of you working in Boston and Texas. The rest of us, we're with you in spirit, doing our thing. Let's get to it, shall we?
7. This first spot from St. John Ambulance is a tricky one. We follow the life of this man who is apparently suffering from cancer. It's tragic, really, the kind of sad story you hope your life never turns into. And then things get better. But wait, not so fast, there's a twist ending! It's sad as all heck in a way, but eye opening. Views: 205,482.
6. Personally I'm a bit surprised this hasn't gone further – it's a piece with our favorite sports brand, Red Bull. This time they strapped lights onto wake boards and shot a video of athletes doing a water course at night. It's magical, in a way, how the lights streak across the sky. Very mushroomy. Yet it's only got 260,437 views – a rare miss for the brand. But still, you'd kill for that many views on your latest thing, no?

Etymologies of Latin American Countries
From WikiName
The name Argentina is derived from the Latin argentum, which means "silver." The region's Río de la Plata (Silver River) was used by Early Spanish and Portuguese traders to transport treasures (including silver) from Peru to the Atlantic. The land around the river stations eventually became known as La Argentina (The Land of Silver).[1]
Bolivia was named after Simón Bolívar (1783–1830), who was an anti-Spanish militant. He became the first president of Bolivia after the country gained its independence in 1825. His surname comes from La Puebla de Bolibar, a village in Biscay, Spain. Bolibar might be composed of bolu- ("mill") + -ibar ("river"), meaning "mill on a river."[1]
In Portuguese, the brazilwood tree was called pau-brasil, because its red wood resembled the color of hot embers (called brasa in Portuguese). This tree may have given the country its name, but another theory states it came from the Irish myth of Hy-Brazil, a phantom island. During the 15th century, many expeditions searched for the imaginary island. When Brazil was reached by Pedro Álvares Cabral (1500 A.D.), the Irish myth was well-known.[1]
Chile's name is most likely related to it's unusual geographic formations. The Andes mountain chain rises high above the narrow flatland along the coast. The name might mean 'the depths,' having been inspired by a native Mapudungun term. The Quechua or Mapuche Indian word chili means "where the land ends" or "limit of the world." Finally, the native word tchili, means "snow."[1]
Columbia was named after the explorer Christopher Columbus, though he never visited the country. [1]
Ecuador means "Equator" in Spanish—fittingly named since the country lies on the Equator.[1]
Paraguay likely got its name from the Paraguay River—though the meaning of the word is unknown. One of explanation is that Paraguay means "water of the Payagua," as he Payagua was a native tribe. It is possible, instead, that it's derived from the Tupi-Guarani words para (river) and guai (crown), thus crowned river. An additional interpretation can be drawn from para (river), gua (from), i (water), in other words, "river that comes from the water" – a reference to the bog in Brazil, just north of the country.[1]
The name Peru might come from the native word biru (river). Or, it might be derived from the Beru, the name of an Indian chieftain. When Spanish explorers asked him the name of the land, he assumed they were asking for his own name, Beru. Another possibility is that it's related to the old native name of the region: Pelu.[1]
Like Paraguay, Uruguay was named for the local river. The official name of the country, Republica Oriental del Uruguay, references its position as "oriental" (east) of the river. The word "Uruguay" might come from the Guaraní word urugua (shellfish) and i (water), thus, "river of shellfish." Uruguay could also come from into three Guaraní words: uru (a species of bird), gua (to proceed from) and i (water), thus, the uru that comes from the water.[1]
Venezuela is diminutive form of Venezia, meaning Little Venice. Early explorers, Alonso de Ojeda and Amerigo Vespucci, were reminded of Venice when they saw the native stilt-houses on Lake Maracaibo. [1]

Much the same way that bankers used to worry about a "run on the bank," where there is an overwhelming demand for liquidity that causes a solvent bank to fail, so should energy companies be worried that their use of material adverse change (MAC) clauses might trigger an overwhelming demand for liquidity that causes a once solvent energy company to fail. Of course, the banks now have the Fed to protect the financial system from a liquidity crisis. No such luck for the energy industry.
Do politicians really mean what they say when they call for competitive markets in electricity at the wholesale and retail levels? Rivals of California Gov. Gray Davis champion competitive electric markets. But what if, after elections, California markets are then fixed (with unanimous consent), and prices continue to be high? Will that politician still stand behind competitive markets?
It's no secret that Californians like happy endings. Just look at most Hollywood movies, which like to tie up the story's loose ends in less than two hours (usually). But in its recent efforts to tie up the loose ends left from the California Crisis, is the state setting itself up for a sequel, California Crisis II: A Not So Beautiful Market.
It was a "classic" publicity event-long on vision, but short on substance. There he was, the Secretary of the Department of Energy (DOE), Spencer Abraham, standing toe-to-toe with each of the heads of the "Motown Three." The big announcement, on Jan. 9, was that the DOE and the nation's carmakers would create a public-private partnership to promote hydrogen as a primary fuel for cars and trucks, as part of America's effort to reduce its dependence on foreign oil.
The defining moment came late in the morning, Wednesday, Dec. 19, at the last meeting of the year for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. That's when the TV cameraman spied former FERC chair Betsy Moler sitting in the audience, and trained his lens on her. As she looked up, she saw her image staring back from the flat-screen monitors scattered about the hearing room. But her shoulders were slumping. The cameraman could not know that the commissioners up at the head table had just stabbed her in the heart.

Rear leg coverage is one of the most difficult problems to solve for dogs. A dog's anatomy and way it moves make coverage nearly impossible. We have a simple coverage solution we have shared with hundreds of owners.
Many of my clients with needs to cover the rear legs of their dogs, have found this a simple, cost effective solution:
Shopping List:
1 standard dog harness
1 pair children's sweat pants or stretch leggings
2 packages 1" elastic
Go to a discount children's store (Target or K-Mart) and purchase infant or children's fleece leggings (sweat pants) or stretch leggings. Fleece can be cut and will not unravel. You can cut the legs on the pants to the length that you need them to be. While at the store, pick up 2 packages of 1" elastic.
Cut the crotch of the pant from the waist band at the belly of the pant,
up and around to just above the tail. Leaving the crotch seam intact
from tail to waist band on the back of your dog. The legs can be snugged
with tape or a quick seam on a sewing machine and if the pants fall down, a pair of suspenders made with two strips of elastic attached to the waist band of the pants and threaded through a standard inexpensive, loose, dog's "H" type to hold them up.

In the early episodes of "The Elder Scrolls Off the Record," one of the ways our hosts recommend playing the Elder Scrolls is by role-playing your character. Most players will just create a character and hop in the game, but a select few will truly create a character. Yes, the creation tools in The Elder Scrolls are very detailed and deep, but merely choosing the outward appearance of someone doesn't "create" them. The creation of backstory, familial ties, and an overall personality truly give the game a sense of depth that it otherwise wouldn't have.
The Lore Involved
While the choices and history of this person are totally up to you, the game world itself with directly influence your character development. Obviously race, geography and so on are already established in the game, but there are also certain events that can have an impact on why your character is the way he/she behaves in game. Some one who RPs an Argonian may not be so kind to Dunmer NPCs or Player Characters due to the treatment the Argonians have suffered in the past. Or maybe your Argonian is the exception to this attitude and therefore is an outcast to the rest of the denizens of Black Marsh. Because of the Lore behind this race, it will effect how you should play your character.
Any good game world has an established base completely devoted to learning the lore behind the game. Any highly detailed world for that matter has a group of fans devoted to studying everything there is to know about this secondary world. This is the hallmark of a truly great series. Take me for instance: my Twitter handle is LOTRLore. You can probably guess what I am constantly in search of: more information regarding Tolkien's Middle-earth. In fact, LOTRO is a great example of a phenomenal base in which to successfully role-play. The continuity and reverence to the established cannon by the author is the measuring stick by which all other fantasy worlds are compared. The Elder Scrolls is no different. While being one of the most highly detailed and consistent game worlds, it still has a lot of empty spots to fill. This is where you can come into play.
The Elder Scrolls Online does establish a major conflict in the timeline of Tamriel: Molag Bal with the help of the Necromancer Mannimarco, has stolen your soul and you are on a quest to reclaim it from his. Along the way you will help others in need by completing deeds and quests. But that's where it stops. It is up to you as a player to create another reason why you play. Why does your character help innocents? Is it because they have vowed to a dying relative to always do good in this world? Another example could be that your heavily armored knight is fond of crafting metals due to a sister who perished when the Imperials attacked. This drives you to become the best craftsman in all of Tamriel. So many possibilites, but it's up to you to discover them.
Why Should I Role-play?
While most people when they picked up the single player games created a character and got on with the story, eventually the drive starts to simmer as to why you are playing to begin with. This happened with me. My first character in Skyrim was an Imperial traditional "Sword and Board" character with no purpose other than to complete quests and fill time between work and sleep. After a few weeks I noticed I started getting bored with this character. While I was having fun playing the game itself, the way I was playing caused me to lose interest. By that time I had just stumbled upon what was known then as "Skyrim: Off the Record." A tip from Joe and Evarwyn saved my gameplay for this character and helped in the creation of two more people to play with. The tip was simple: role-play, or you might lose interest. Why is your character driven to greatness? Is your character good, evil or both? Was there a fall of grace that influences your Breton's change from specializing in Restoration to Destruction? Creating a character and role-playing them adds a layer of depth to the game that the developers cannot add for you. Yes, building the appearance of the character you will be spending the next 100+ hours looking at is deep and complex, but are you building a character you would want to spend those hours with?
Role-playing also allows the creative juices flowing, especially in RP circles. Establish a group of friends with a common purpose and the fun becomes even more. It's an experience that just cannot be replicated in any other game genre on the market at the moment. Sure, your Skyrim character is totally BA with his Necromancy-dagger wielding self, but with no one to share it with in the end it just becomes just another combination o
f pixels on your screen. The MMO adds another element that the single player games just cannot: human interaction. With other people to share in your RP sessions, not only does this allow for you to include more characters to your story, but forms friendships that will last because of your mutual love for storytelling.
A Custom Way of Storytelling
Everything in The Elder Scrolls Online screams "customization." From the weapon and armor combination you choose to play as to the alliance and guild you join, every step of the way you are telling the story of your character. Each swing of your swords adds another note to the symphony that is your character's life. So why not add an element of storytelling to this great game? While the game itself will tell a story all it's own, your choices from the time the opening cinematic assuming there are any, ends till you click the "log out" button in the game will determine the type of experience you have. Are you following a character who's sole purpose in life is to root out Evil and Necromancy where it may dwell? Or perhaps you are hunting down a den of Vampires to avenge the loss of your betrothed, whom they killed. What ever the story you give, this will constantly make the game seem refreshing and new.
Piggy-backing on this, to finish the story with my original Skyrim character, once I heard someone suggest making a full on personality and character history, I tried it with my Imperial. He was in Skyrim because he fled political persecution by the Imperial government, only to be picked up in Skyrim by the guards at the border. Once freed, thanks in part to Alduin's help, he joins the Stormcloaks as a way of fighting back against Imperial rule. Knowing that the Thalmor were the true reason why the Empire acted the way they did, he sought a way to rid Skyrim and eventually Tamriel as a whole from the Thalmor plague.
Because I was able to set this story up, it made me play my character in such a way that instantly brought life back into a game I was thinking of shelving. All of my characters have intricate backstories, such as my Destruction Assassin Nord who fought for the Imperials, or my heavy-armored Redguard just trying to earn enough money to send back to his family in Hammerfell.
This is in fact much more interesting when you have more people joining in the storytelling fun. ESO will provide that to it's players. The fact remains this: will you join in the RP revolution and truly immerse yourself in this world? Or is this just another game to sink time into? No matter the choice you make, it in the end isn't the wrong one. That is the joy of MMOs and the Elder Scrolls series in general: Play the way YOU want to play. The developers just give us the tools to glean more and more enjoyment out of a project they spend hundreds of hours carefully cultivating. Who knows, maybe you guild's story is so good, it will forever be written down as true Elder Scrolls Cannon. That is beauty of it, and why you can catch Eldalye Ancalima, Altmer Archer and Illusionist forever fulfilling his goal in reclaiming the White-Gold Tower for the Elves. Won't you join me?

Skating to James Bond theme music, the defending champions put in a strong performance, despite a fall by Castelli during a difficult quadruple flip.
The United States Olympic Figure Skating Team is selected only a few weeks before the Olympic Winter Games begin, which means that skaters and their families cannot plan to attend in advance.
That means despite winning gold, Shnapir and Castelli will have to wait to see if they will travel to Sochi for the Winter Olympics.
The duo performed to the music of Carlos Santana ("Black Magic Woman" and "Smooth") while representing the Skating Club of Boston.

A Russian official has cast doubts over the impact of the country's new ban on Americans adopting Russian children, saying a technicality meant that an agreement sanctioning the practice would have to remain in force until the beginning of 2014.
MOSCOW — A Kremlin official said Thursday a bilateral agreement with the United States on adoptions was still in place, creating uncertainty over the immediate impact of Russia's new ban on Americans adopting Russian children.
Russian President Vladimir Putin approved the ban from Jan. 1 as part of a law passed to retaliate against U.S. legislation intended to punish Russian human rights abusers.
Moscow had said it was also terminating a bilateral agreement regulating adoptions, but Putin's spokesman on Thursday said a technicality meant that agreement would have to remain in force until the beginning of 2014.
"The agreement is still in effect," Dmitry Peskov told state-run news agency RIA, citing a built-in one-year delay to any terminations.
He added that it would be up to legal experts to determine what effect it might have on American families who were still going through the process of adopting Russian children when the ban was imposed.
The U.S. State Department said it was unsure about the impact of Peskov's statement but said it was "very hopeful" it would be able to work through adoption cases that had already begun.
U.S. officials were sifting through emails from about 950 American families to establish where they were in the adoption process, said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.

VIDEO: American families react to adoption ban
A prominent Russian defense lawyer, Genri Reznik, told Ekho Moskvy radio station that because an article of the Russian constitution says international treaties take precedence over Russian laws if they contradict one another, Peskov's announcement meant adoption procedures could continue for a year.
But Peskov added to the uncertainty in later interviews by suggesting only children whose adoptions have been approved by Russian courts would be able to go to the United States.
"In cases where certain legal procedures have not been completed, a full ban on adoptions by parents from America takes effect," Peskov told the Dozhd TV channel.
"The (Russia-U.S.) agreement is in no way a mechanism that obliges the Russian side to give its children up for adoption," he added.
Peskov gave no numbers Thursday, but he was quoted as saying in late December that six adoptions that had been approved would go through while another 46 that were under way would not. He was not immediately available to make further comments Thursday.
Russian lawmakers have said the adoption ban was justified by the deaths of 19 Russian-born children adopted by American parents in the past decade.
But child rights activists have accused the Russian government of making vulnerable children pawns in a political dispute. A protest march over the law in Moscow is planned for Sunday.
Critics of the ban say Russian orphanages are overcrowded and that the number of adoptions by Russian families remains modest. Americans have adopted more than 60,000 Russian children since the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, including 962 in 2011.

HENRYVILLE, Ind. (WHAS11) – Henryville school bus security video revealed by WHAS11 on Thursday is sparking both pride and anxiety for those who lived through the March 2 tornadoes that swept across Indiana and Kentucky.
"It put me back in the middle of the storm," said Jim Scroggin, the West Clark Transportation Director.
Scroggin reviewed the tape of Bus #211, driven by Angel Perry, with Assistant Superintendent John Reed.
"There were just a tremendous amount of miracles that happened that day," Scroggin said. "[If] anyone of those things hadn't taken place, we could have had a tragedy."
The video shows a Henryville bus being tossed into a diner, just three minutes after Perry turned the bus around mid-route and successfully delivered eleven students to seek shelter in the school.
"Everybody stay together," Perry is heard saying while escorting the children off the bus. "Our group together. Yeah go go go go go go go go!" Perry is heard counting off each child.
Perry's cell phone can still be seen in the driver's seat when the tornado begins to rock her bus on the video. One minute later, the bus is blown away.
For ten terrifying minutes, the lives of hundreds of children were in the hands of Perry and 20 other bus drivers -- each formulating a plan and sharing information as the monster EF-4 tornado bore down on Henryville.
Citing privacy concerns, West Clark Community Schools would only release the audio portion of the security footage in which children are still on the bus.
Click to go to the full raw video clip
It is a heart-pounding account of the critical decisions made by the bus drivers as the huge funnel cloud took aim at the town.
Radio: I see the tornado on the ground north of the school.
Perry: If you got a book to put over your head, do it. Get in the middle ....
Driver: 67 - this is bus 208. I do have a safe place to get all the kids, the remaining kids on the bus,
Perry: Guys, we're just going to go as fast as we can into the school.
"She's keeping the kids calm," Scroggin explained, "asking them to remain quiet. You can see the whole process of her formulating a plan to get the students to safety."
"You see the anxiety with the kids and you see the anxiety with the driver," Scroggin continued. "But you can see her at different points take a deep breath and regain her composure and the kids really responding to her directives."
Nearly three miles from school, at the intersection of Henryville-Otisco and Heil Roads, Perry decided to head back.
"I believe Henryville Otisco Road was actually hit as hard or harder than the school," Scroggin said. "So it turned out to be a really brilliant decision."
Within minutes, the neighborhood now in Perry's rear view mirror would be devastated.
The series of decisions made first by administrators to dismiss classes early, then by the school bus drivers to seek shelter threaded a needle. None of the students, teachers or staff of Henryville schools were killed or seriously injured.
Click to go to the full raw video clip
"It's nothing short of a miracle," Reed said. "It looked like we had been practicing this a dozen times and it was just a well-oiled machine on the Second."
"There is no rational explanation on how things went that particular day," Reed said. "The thing I will tell you I heard repeatedly is individuals feeling compelled for whatever reason, I have my own thoughts on that, for whatever reason to get the kids out of Henryville."
"And there's no doubt in my mind after looking at all the aftermath that we would have had loss of life and significant injuries if we would have had children staying in that school building."
For the first time since that day, Henryville high school students will climb back on to buses on Monday morning. While their school is rebuilt, classes will resume at Mid-America Science Park in Scottsburg, where construction and set-up continued Friday afternoon.
"It's going to be late nights," Reed said. "It's going to be work over the weekend as well. We'll probably be shuffling things around Sunday night."
"I think the first couple of days are just going to be telling stories though of what the students experienced," said Erica Pangburn, Henryville High Choral Director, "what they've done, if they lived through the tornado."
Cafeteria tables are being cleaned, supplies unloaded and the makeshift classrooms are getting close to school-ready.
"It's just getting all those final touches of what needs to be where," Reed said.
The return of 700 elementary students last week in New Albany was sort of a trial run. On Monday, 500 high school students will be added to the mix -- traveling 12 miles in the opposite direction.
"We don't know how many kids now are going to be able to ride with the jump in gas prices and the amount of parking spaces at the Scottsburg facility," Scroggin added.
It will be a challenging day for bus drivers. But nothing like four weeks ago.

City gets clean auditPublished 10:06pm Wednesday, December 12, 2012
Washington's financial statements for fiscal year 2011-2012 received an unqualified opinion, the best opinion that can be given in an independent audit.
Overall, the city ended the 2011-2012 fiscal year, which ended June 30, in the black, according to the audit.
That audit, conducted by Martin Starnes and Associates, was presented by Crystal Waddell during the City Council's meeting Monday. The audit concluded there were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the city's internal controls related to finances.
While the city's general fund for fiscal year 2011-2012 (before transfers) saw expenditures — $12.3 million — come in above revenues — $11.6 million — the overall budget, including all funds, saw revenues come in higher than expenses, Waddell said.
"That's a great turnaround," said Matt Rauschenbach, the city's finance director, on Wednesday.
"I'd say the general fund is healthy. It's got a 50-percent available fund balance, which means we match our expenditures well with our revenue. I think, to me, that's the key. As our revenues, as in sales tax, when they dropped off, we adjusted our expenditures accordingly," said Rauschenbach.
Councilman Doug Mercer noted that in eight of the past 10 years, expenses in the general fund were higher than revenues. Recently, those expenses were about $1 million more than incoming revenues. Mercer said the city must continue to work toward narrowing the gap between expenses and revenues so it doesn't have to transfer funds into the general fund to cover the gap between revenues and expenses.
The money being transferred into the general fund to balance it could better be used elsewhere, he said.
The general fund's balance at the end of the fiscal year was $8.3 million, but that doesn't mean the city can use all of it in any way it sees fit. State law places restrictions on how some of the fund balance may be spent. The city's available fund balance is $6.1 million, an increase of $341,137 over the available fund balance of the previous fiscal year.
With the available fund balance at 50 percent of general-fund expenditures, the city more than meets the Local Government Commission's recommendation that a local government have an amount equal to at least 8 percent of its general fund in its fund balance, or "rainy day" fund to cover unexpected expenditures.

Eric Goldman at Forbes does not share our legal concerns about Facebook Search as being what amounts to a large-scale stealing of private materials for commercial use. See Some Concerns About Facebook's "Graph Search" - Forbes.
My reaction is that I think the modern world's concepts of what is right and wrong and what is "legal" have become terribly warped. Things are totally out of kilter on this score around the world.
If I post a personal photograph to my group of friends, or tell them about my last vacation, what possible legal justification does ANY company or online portal have to use that photograph or posting to drive more traffic to their website by indexing MY material?
And that includes Facebook. Nothing uploaded by me to my Facebook account was intended for any kind of public indexing by Facebook, except for the few precise profile elements that I have expressly permitted to be indexed.
If privacy is not protected at this level, the user has only the protection of intellectual property law for protection against public use of his personal materials by others.
The only difference between a confidential private or business email to one or a handfull or a group of 60 people in a corporation and a strictly limited posting to a group of 60 people on Facebook is just that. The forum may differ, but the privacy should be the same. The privacy may ONLY be different because social media websites are not honoring privacy the way they should by law, and THAT rampant abuse should be stopped.
The forum chosen should not make a photograph or posting any less private if it is intended for a small group of users on Facebook or a small group of email recipients.
That Facebook -- despite express "hiding" of material by the user -- still plans to include that material in Facebook graph search results is an abomination.
And it is not clear what will happen with material found in databases that relates to deactivated or deleted accounts. None of that material "belongs" to Facebook. Will that be included in search results? We hold that to be illegal.
Right now I would like to deactivate and/or delete my Facebook account but I am reluctant to do so because then I can not keep on eye on what Facebook is going to do with my content in the near future. But our goodbye to Facebook is coming soon. And they better not be indexing any of OUR content.
Facebook "graph search" portends a foreboding end to privacy rights and opens the door for commercial appropriation of personal content never intended for public exploitation or profit.
Well, courts are even permitting the patenting of human genes, so this is right in the trend of the misguided legal servants permitting the average man's remaining private and personal assets to become wares to be hawked by traders on commercial markets.
It is a all a sad scenario to a digital revolution which once held so much promise and is now becoming virtually nothing more but a gold mine for greedy commercial interests.

I was looking for a good recipe to use acorn squash and decided on this recipe. It's excellent! Pealing and cutting the acorn squash is tough, so I might use a different squash next time, but overall, it's excellent. The first time, I served it as a side to a pork loin. Next time, I will be making this as a side dish to our Christmas ham.

QUEENS, N.Y. - The St. John's women's volleyball team served up a 3-0 (30-12, 30-21 and 30-19) win over West Virginia Friday night at Carnesecca Arena. The victory gives the Red Storm the edge it needs to secure a place in the BIG EAST Tournament as well as its 19th three game sweep of the season. St. John's improves to 22-8, 8-5 in the BIG EAST while West Virginia falls to 16-12, 4-9 in the conference.
Patti Hardiman (Honolulu, Hawaii) lead the Red Storm with a no error .519 hitting percentage as she picked up her seventh double-double of the season (14 kills, 10 digs). Hui Ping Huang (The Republic of China) also recorded up a double-double (16 kills, 14 digs), her sixth of the season. Shameka Mitchell (Lakeland, Fla.) scored a match high 18 kills, while Casie Brooks (Victorville, Calif.) notched another 52 assists. St. John's out hit WVU .389 to .140 while grabbing only 9 attacking errors to West Virginia's 19.
The Red Storm took control of the board early in game one with back to back 5-0 runs. Huang gave St. John's a double-digit lead over West Virginia at 20-9 and the Red Storm held onto the lead for the remainder of the game. WVU's Julie Hockenson tried to close the gap but her efforts were not enough as St. John's more than doubled the score and took the game at 30-12.
The Mountaineers answered back at the start of game two with a 5-1 lead, but the Red Storm quickly tied the game at eight will kills from Huang, Anicia Wood (Wotton Terrace, Barbados) and LaToya Blunt (Vacaville, Calif.). Jenna Schweitzer (Bethlehem, Pa.) served an 8-0 run for the Red Storm bringing the score to 17-12. Never trailing again, the Red Storm took the game 30-21 on Mitchell kill off a Brooks set.
Coming out of the break up two games, St. John's took an early lead again but the Mountaineers fought back tying the game at eight. St. John's held strong taking the lead once again, increasing the score to 18-10 on kills from Mitchell and Huang. Brooks and Mitchell connected for the 15th time, to bring the Red Storm to match point at 29-18, but it was Hardiman who closed out the game with a kill off of Brooks, 30-19.
The Mountaineers were lead by Kelly Mullins who recorded 9 kills, hitting .346, while Hockenson put up four total blocks and Kailee Goold recorded 19 assists.
The Red Storm returns to action in its final regular season game Saturday, Nov.12 against the Panthers of Pittsburgh. First serve is at 7 p.m. at Carnesecca Arena on the Queens campus.

An instant favorite! The puffed rice disappears and leaves a wonderful chewy (not crunchy) granola that is great for snacking as well as eating as a cereal. It's getting harder to find puffed rice. The biggest reason I would miss it is that I can't figure out a good substitute for this terrific recipe.
