Well I prefer a subscription but if you go F2P then I would prefer the way Path of Exile does it, sell cosmetic items, character slots, stash space. No MMO I know has done it though and I'm not sure it's viable either. I just think it's sad that the only way you get enough people to support a F2P game is by selling advantages. I wish people would support games that don't sell advantages.

In theory I love this approach as well but my concern is always how do they pay the salaries of their development staff? Assuming everyone who plays drops a 5 or 10 spot now and then maybe that's enough. Do players feel obligated to drop a 5 spot once in awhile? I do in GW2 in hopes of helping keeping the game moving forward, e.g. I've spent 5 to get gems to convert to gold to buy crafting mats, etc. I feel it's a worthwhile investment because it saves me some time plus hopeful helps propel the game forward on a financial curve.

This is the future of mmo's and its a great future.
its b2p or f2p for mmo's from now on. Except those that want to have p2p for the first months see that it fails and then go over to b2p or f2p

what I've seen is that you have to use Astral Diamonds in the game.
What to ride the lvl 40 or lvl 60 mount? Need to fork of Astral Diamonds.
Want to buy something off the AH? Fork over some Astral Diamonds.
Companion upgrades? Astral Diamonds.
Want wome good quality gear? Fork over some Astral Diamonds. (There are some seal/token vendors)
Want a new companion? Give em some Astral Diamonds.
Early impression is that one might be spending considerable money via their Astral Diamonds. From what I say I found only a Zen and Astral Diamond exchange, not gold to Astral Diamonds like in GW2. And I have not come across any form of reliabely generating some Astral Diamonds beyone a cleric's evokation that is on an hourly CD and subject to diminishing return that starts at 1,500 but is reset on a daily basis it seems like.
Not that none of the items are mandatory and technically they can be called 'cosemetic' and I have not found any use for gold or silver besides skill consumables or the lowest quality of gear that is only relevent till bout level 20.
I think we are gonna be in for a shocker of how the currencies will be and that the Cash Shop currency will be used in everything not restricted to Cash Shop items but in everything of quality in Neverwinter.

So if you want to still drop a 5 spot from time to time to support the cause then feel free. I probably will be right there with ya. I love what I am seeing and I will support it with some real money form time to time.

as long as it does not limit the currency cap for free players, it wont go wrong.
Like SWTOR. sell something for 20-50 bucks and limit free players to only carry 200k ingame money. So people will sell them in the auction for 1mil and continue to wait till the cows come home for people to buy.
Only the 'oh yeah we are listening' type of company will do this type of f2p model.

I was always fully against F2P in the early days. I was paying a subscription to avoid all the P2W that was being released. But those days are being left behind. Sure some people still think theres a stigma attached to F2P, and automatically assume if somethings F2P then its also P2W. Sadly those people are just ignorant, and unwilling to accept the truth. The industry is changing.
Even when games like EQ2 converted from Subs to Free, they put a major restriction on gameplay. I dont know if you ever played EQ2, but you cant raid or even do harder dungeons with Treasured armor and unleveled spells/abilities. Thats F2P the wrong way. When you have a glorified "free trial" with gated content, and still expect people to end up paying the sub anyways if they want access to the content, or to even be effective in the gated content.
Now companies are seeing they dont have to gate content. People will pay for costumes and cosmetics or consumables, that dont offer advatange, just conveniece. The first real idea of "Truly Free" that I played was with Aion. I had played for the first 4-6 months of release, and stopped because the entire game was designed for PvP end-game. But what they did when they went F2P was not to gate any content. You still could hit level cap. You can wear all the end-game items. You could still be the most powerful player on the server, and you never had to spend a dime. More recently, I have heard the same thing from Tera. They have gone F2P, and nothing is gated. You can go anywhere, play the entire game in its entirety without ever paying. GW2 has done it with B2P. There is nothing you could buy that gives a player an advantage over another, but the game still makes plenty of income from the cosmetic cash shop.
I applaude NW in recognizing the change. If they had tried to charge subs, they would have limited thier income, Im not going to make up a statistic, because we just dont know, but they would have severely limited the people who would be playing. And I guarantee they would have had to convert to F2P anyways, probably within 6 months. Then get laughed at for being a failure, and converting. I hope ESO recognizes this as well, and they are ignorant enough to charge a subscription. Other upcoming games are all seeing the same trends. P2P is just a death sentence. Converting will always be seen as negative, a sign of failure, but if you start F2P or even better B2P you skip that part. B2P is my new preferred since it still offers some barrier to entry which keeps alot of the riff-raff out, and generally makes people act more matured because if they get suspended or banned they have to pay for a new account. F2P seems like people are way more immature, because they know if they get banned they just create a new free account.

A couple of things that are left out.
You get Rough Astral Diamonds. You have to refine them into the actual currency. There is a daily cap on how much you can refine. You only get rough astral diamonds from certain things, and some of those are on daily cool downs as well.
You can exchange buyable ZEN for in-game currency (Refined Astral Diamnods)....guess who controls the exchange rate. By controlling the actual price on EVERYTHING, and controlling the amount that can be gotten AND refined daily, PWE has turned it into a massive grind fest.
By removing the actual subscription model (which in STO you got free points every month to spend) you will now be grinding away on every aspect of the game. So you get your basic 5 classes and races, and have to unlock other classes and races...and items....and features...etc.
I don't think people are understanding just how long you are going to have to play in order to acquire things without actually paying one dollar. They control how much you can refine and how much you can get....
In the end, if you want to get a sizable chunk out of the game, you are going to be paying a lot more than the normal monthly subscription....that is the entire goal of PWE. To get YOU to pay more than the standard 14.99 per month you see in other games. In order to do that, they provide you the basic game, take away any subscription and then control your currency refine rates.
Just wait until the game goes live, you create your first character and open up the store and then start calculating your time invested VS currency acquired while factoring in the insane prices on certain features sub games provide for free.

I wrote the same thing, only I tried to remain optimistic :) we'll see the actual prices and items after launch, if it will cost below ~10 bucks for a month to play without any hiccups, that'll be good enough for a great game imo.
And furbans "I found only a Zen and Astral Diamond exchange, not gold to Astral Diamonds" of course, since that way you could get way too many Zen for free, and Zen is the equivalent of real money. No company would tie it to an infinite in-game currency :) That's the point of "time currency", it's limited heavily, it's bind to you, and the amount can be controlled by the company. I'm pretty sure there will be a way to convert in-game money to Zen, it's in STO as well, through time-currency of course, this way implementing the limit to the converting process.
in STO it's working through contrabands, contraband is a limited (not bind) item which you can trade. So you buy it for in-game money, then you can convert it to dilithium (astral diamond) via a process (which also has a time limit), and then you can sell the dilithium for Zen... and contraband is limited by numbers, it can only acquire via DOff assignments, in average you can get 3-4 per day if you have a klingon too. (Klingons can find more contrabands than the lawful Starfleets :) )
Edit: on a second thought it's also good to push you toward spending. If you quickly need lots of dillys / astral diamonds for something, the only way is to spend real money, buying Zen, and with it buying the time-currency. (since both farming it or converting it from in-game currency are slow and limited ways)

I applaud their cash shop strategy. I will probably play their game, once they put Dragonborn in. Until then, they're, mechancially speaking, just another cookie-cutter fantasy MMO, and I play four of those already, including the other DnD one. No need for a fifth.

I have to admit that after watching the livestream, Cryptic may actually have a good game on their hands for once. I will definitely be giving this game a chance due to the action combat sytem with no tab-targeting like Tera and the ability to create dungeons and possibly make Zen currency as a result.
the game already will have mounts which I like, I am only hoping they add housing of some kind.

I don't see anything positive in this system. If you can get everything through playing and you can get everything through paying it's not balanced, not by a longshot.
You should be able to earn micro-transaction points in the game by itself not from other players and only allow people to purchase micro-transaction points not to trade them.
Simply put,
You should be able to get everything in the game through playing.
You shouldn't be able to get everything in the game through paying.

agreed, whats the fun in being able to buy everything with real money.
Its fun if u see someone walking with cool armour and know he accomplished that by playing the game and not thinking 'hey he might have bought that for real money.

As somebody that's played a significant amount of STO I have to say this is not that much like GW2. I like both games too so don't get me wrong. When GW2 came out I was hoping it's cash shop would be more accessible than it is, the fact is I've noticed that the cash->gold ratio seems really off, I think Arenanet is charging like 20% to change money into cash, which makes the inflation really bad, Cryptic doesn't have this charge, you can actually play it like a stock market when new stuff's coming out on STO.
Personally I have a LOT of STO cash items I didn't pay a cent for and I love this system over there but I don't feel GW2's works as well. The other difference too I think is that on GW2 you're worried about your general money supply if you trade too much, on Cryptic's titles, the game currency traded for cash is a non-tradable specialized currency, much like what badges in wow use to be, or whatever they're calling those these days "justice points" or whatever goofiness it is I haven't played since Cataclysm lol. But yeah I feel that the rates for conversion on cryptic's games are much more realistic to regular play than GW2's.
The other reason I like this too, is if I play enough I can earn things. It's a form of progression that keeps me having things to do without paying anything. And while it's mostly fluff that some people will bypass by paying cash directly, it gives me more play time to progress with by farming the currency instead, sometimes it can take a while but it can be worth it. I'm curious to see how NW will turn out, STO's recent Dilithium (astral diamonds, what have you) changes have made it a bit easier for me to afford cash points and I'm loving it.

That's about how I feel as well. So far I really like the setup in STO. The one difference in Neverwinter that I'm eyeing is that Astral Diamonds are used as a main currency in places where energy credits are used in STO. I think one place I read or watched that this occurs is the auction house. It might end up working fine, but it does concern me a bit as dilly (and I'm assuming ADiamonds will work like this) is a more limited resource.
I totally agree about the GW2 cash shop and gem trade system. I love GW2, but their cash shop isn't very interesting to me. I would rather just buy gems to expand character slots and inventory/bank slots and not much else is really interesting in there to me. On the other hand, there are all sorts of cool things in the STO Cryptic store and on the dilly npcs.

Even the "big boys" like Red Hat, etc. are/were more concerned with making their linux version "unique" rather than a viable Windows alternative.
The reason directX won over openGL is because it is A.) simple to program/use and B.) has a uniform structure.
The same reason Windows itself has buried linux since forever.

Steam works perfectly as do all of the games I play.
Windows ME and Vista were truly awful; Windows 8 is quite nice. If anyone has any doubts about it, try going into a retail store and playing around with it for while. I demo it for customers at work all the time and the majority of them like it.
If you don't like it after honestly giving it a try, then that's your right, but don't delude yourself into thinking that it's another Vista or ME.

Yep, adjusting to some new ways has been the hardest part. I love it. Mine looks like Win7 without the start bubble. I don't really think about it being a new OS. I love the new start menu and quick search. I love that I can customize my start menu just how I want. I also love how my Microsoft account integrates into the OS and in Office.
Office 2013 is by far their best improvement this release. Outlook is the best version yet. Again, with office it will take a little adjustment, but I think it's a huge improvement.
As for DX 11.1 and the OPs hypothesis... I don't think so at all. Devs will use the version of DirectX that they're familiar with and has the widest audience. DX11 is just seeing somewhat common use and it's on Win7, the most widely used OS on the planet. It will happen eventually after Win8 gains momentum.

Ehhh Windows 8 still has a ways to go. My sound randomly stops working until I disable the speakers and reenable them under Hardware and sound (not just mute and unmute). Sadly I was on the latest Windows 8 driver for them too.
Also had a lot of issues getting my G400 mouse to be programmable.
For now I am back with Windows 7... Windows 8 with Start8 is not horrible.. but I would never use it without Start8. At least it makes it more Windows 7 like then lol.

* The standard metro apps actaully have a lot of bugs. Try using them.
* I work a lot from home. At work my pc is Win 7 and I remote desktop to it. After the Win8 upgrade the remote desktop client (mstsc.exe) simply crashes after a few minutes every time I start it.
* The idea of Metro start screen is a nice idea, it just have more usablity issues than use can shake a stick at currently. Especially or a normal non-touch PC. Example: If you want to start a random program whiloe on your desktop, you have to swtich to Metro, right click on blank area, press show all apps in the pop up. Wait for the programs app to load, then sidescroll to find your old programs menu items. Hell yeah, thats usablity gone wrong for you.
* If you thought the old lower right corner pop up boxes annoyed you, the new purple larger square box that slide in from the right will make you jump out a window. And that one really gets funny if you open, say a media file, that has an app that COULOD play it. Then it informs you EVERY TIME you open it with a non metro app that there is a metro app that could play it. Does it have a "Go away and staty away" button? Nah...
I do know what i am talking about. I have been a MS man since Win 95. And I tell you, Win 8 is full of good intentions, (so was Win ME mind you) it just does not cut it as a replacement for Win7. That said I am Sure that one a pure WinRT device, it will work nicely, once they sort out the bugs in the standard Metro apps. But as a replacement for Win7 on a non touch device? No. Just, no.

Windows 7 is the best windows in the existence of man kind. There is no way I am switching to 8. I will probably go for 9 which will probably have all the crap in 8 fixed.
People still use XP? After using Windows 7 I just can't go back to that horrible Windows!

There are a couple tips for interacting and starting programs I would recommend.
1. The obvious is to pin the apps you use most to your start menu and/or task bar.
2. If you want to quickly access the start menu from the desktop hit the windows key.
3. If you want to quickly start an app that isn't pinned: Hit the Windows key and start typing. It works just like start / search in Win7. If your app is the first on your search list you can hit enter. If it's not then you will have to click on it or use your arrow keys to navigate.
4. If you're in the start menu (or search) and want to navigate back to the desktop you can simply hit your Windows key again. The caveat here is that you must have the desktop open for the Win Hotkey back to the desktop to work. When I first get into Windows I usually start my browser or Outlook and that takes me to the desktop and keeps it open.
5. There are a ton of ways to do things in Win8. It's actually very flexible. For example, I VPN and RDP a lot to a lot of different locations. I can use the Win8 flyout to access my vpn conns, or I can create a shortcut to my PBK (remote access phonebook file) file in my user settings, or I can create a Windows shortcut that calls rasphone.exe via command line with the vpn name. I can store those shortcuts in a place where I can pin them to my start menu or taskbar. If you have a lot you can put them in a folder and add that folder as a custom toolbar to your taskbar.

MMOs are still DX9 based, and even upcoming AAA releases are DX9 based (TESO).
DX11.1 is a meaningless gesture and in contrary to DX10 launch all Microsoft Games are console exclusive now (HALO franchise). (anyone remembers the horrid Halo2 PC on Vista version? urgh).
When Vista launched some important games had DX10, Lost planet, crysis etc.
The fundamental design flaw of W8 isn't that it tries to let you interact with your PC differently but it tries an "single application at a time" approach, which goes against the very design idea of WINDOWS itself (You know, that what made windows - WINDOWS!) Sure you have 20 apps running in the background and can switch, but people want their browser window next to their skype etc. The most sore point is this design change didn't happen because god knows why but just because tablets etc can't run to much at once either by hardware limitations or power consumption going to skyrocket. And who want's a 20 minute portable tablet :)
In short they want to chain the PC down to a tablets capability to reach the "unified" handling accross platforms. That's not gonna work out.

Yes, I should have been clear about that. If you're in a modern app be sure to alt+F4 out of the app back to your previous window. You can also use alt+tab to move around between apps or get directly back to the desktop from either the start menu or a metro app.

No sane developer is going to make games for DX11.1 if it's a Win 8 exlusive. It's like a scare tale for kids: "Buy Win 8 or you can't play the new games..."

The universal telephone number to call for assistance in finding valuable health and human services called "2-1-1" launched in Ashe County on Friday, Feb. 1.
"The goal of 2-1-1 is to get callers directed to the resources they need. The service is supposed to pinpoint resources like food, heating assistance and mental health care," said Glenda Luther, Ashe County's volunteer coordinator who will operate the local 2-1-1 database.
The 2-1-1 service is a free confidential service and will be available 24/7 to speakers of all languages. Callers will be able to receive help from comprehensively trained referral specialists at a call center in Durham who will identify and route the person to the right resources based on the caller's particular needs.
Unlike 9-1-1, the emergency number to call for help, 2-1-1 can direct callers to a number of human service agencies, like housing, food, shelter, child care, mental health services, legal aid and dozens of other areas that offer human services.
A call to 2-1-1 can be transferred to 9-1-1 if the referral specialist, after evaluation, learns the situation has escalated, and become an emergency.
The major benefit of running 2-1-1 through the Durham call center is the operators will have the ability to look beyond Ashe County if the caller needs a service not available in Ashe County.
"People getting to appropriate help in a timely manner is the ultimate benefit, but the biggest plus of going through the 2-1-1 system is taking advantage of the economies of scale of a statewide operation," said Lynda McDaniel, who is the chair of the Social Services Board.
"It would not be cost effective for Ashe County to hire call specialists and translators round the clock to provide this service. Using United Way's 2-1-1 gives us access to a quality service at a low cost," said McDaniel.
McDaniel, who was heavily involved in bringing the 2-1-1 service to Ashe County, said she is pleased the project "finally came to fruition." McDaniel also said she is looking forward to the positive impact of 2-1-1 on mental health in the area.
"As for impact on mental health, 2-1-1 can only get people to services that already exist. So if we don't have adequate mental health services, 2-1-1 can't help that situation. But it's always a help in getting people to the best fit of what's available, so the impact can only be positive," said McDaniel.
Funding for the 2-1-1 service was approved by the county commissioners to go to the Department of Social Services for the new service. Another key agency involved in 2-1-1 is Ashe Services for Aging, for whom Luther also works.
The 2-1-1 service is already available to about 80 percent of the North Carolina's population.
What is 2-1-1?
2-1-1 is an easy to remember, three-digit telephone number that connects people with important community services to meet every day needs and the immediate needs of people in crisis.
There are about 30,000 nonprofits in North Carolina. Finding the one you need can be difficult.
The first step in finding help is knowing who to call: 9-1-1 is for emergencies, 4-1-1 is for directory assistance and 2-1-1 is for finding community health and human service resources.
How is United Way involved with 2-1-1?
United Ways have a long-standing commitment to funding information and referral (I&R) services in their communities.
A 2-1-1 task force submitted an application to the North Carolina Public Utilities Commission for designation of the three-digit number to be used for health and human service information, referral, and volunteer opportunities.
The Commission designated United Way of North Carolina as the "holder" of the 2-1-1 number on Nov. 18, 1999. In 2000, United Way of America was designated as the national holder of the 2-1-1 number.
How does 2-1-1 work?
Callers simply dial 2-1-1 for information on vital local services.
The 2-1-1 service is free, confidential, available 24 hours a day — every day, multilingual and staffed by agents ready to help you find the connection you need. There are a few cell phones that cannot connect to 2-1-1. If that is the case, you can use a toll-free number: 1-888-892-1162.
Any agency that does not have information in the system yet should call Luther at (336) 246-2461, extension 225 to find out how to get their data included. It is very important that all programs be included so the referral specialists can route the callers appropriately.
Ashe County service agencies have been providing information to be included in the system which is operated by United Way through a call center in Durham.

Hi all!
I was diagnosed at 28 weeks with mild preeclampsia. I was one of the lucky ones who limped along until I was induced at 37+1 in order to avoid the slip into severe pe. My labor was about as ideal as possible: my blood pressure was fantastic the whole time, my blood sugar stayed stable, I was able to avoid the mag and the epidural, and delivered a completely healthy 7 pound 6 ounce boy who has taken to nursing like a pro.
The first thing I want to say is 'thank you' to everyone here. This site, this forum in particular, played a pivotal role in my ability to educate myself about preeclampsia and, therefore, to advocate for myself throughout this difficult and stressful process. I truly believe that I received better quality healthcare because of this education--mostly because I felt confident that I knew which providers to trust.
And now, because life can't be that simple, a question: Before pregnancy, my pressures were commonly 115-ish/65-ish. During pregnancy my pressures were very labile, ranging from my normal to scary highs like 172/95. Toward the end, I was hanging out at around 135-145/85 more often than not, and still occasionally popping an ugly high. My pressures were great during labor--the highest was 138/72 I think. While at the hospital for 48 hours postpartum, my pressures seemed to become almost normal, always about 115-120/75 (so the diastolic was still a little high for me, but not too bad). Yesterday (5 days postpartum) I noticed that my left foot was very swollen and is pitting. I had some swelling during the pregnancy, but this was the worst I'd had it in my feet. So, I took my blood pressure only to find that they are consistently high again. Between yesterday evening and today I've had a couple in the 150/90s and none below 130/80. I've also had a headache, but I've been chalking that up to an apparent urinary tract infection I ended up in the ER with a couple of days ago (it never ends, does it?).
This all seems very strange to me. Why would the blood pressures seem to resolve only to go up again? Is this common for postpartum or is this postpartum PE? I'm extremely curious as to why none of my crack medical team even mentioned symptoms I should be looking out for postpartum and when to call (not that you can answer that, but it is a question I have ). So, when is it I should call? I'm so sick of the doctor's office and the hospital right now that I'm terribly tempted to ignore it and hope it goes away, but don't want to be stupid either. Sigh.
Anyway, thanks for reading the novel I just wrote. I look forward to your words of wisdom.

If you have a TeX'ed resume, did you use a template or make your own? Are there any useful packages? What looks the most professional? How about special considerations for different areas of work (e.g. in academia)?
For my current CV, I ended up using moderncv. It doesn't have many features but it is very easy to use and yields a very elegant output.
However, I also want to mention its drawbacks: customising it isn't easy, especially since it doesn't really use a clean, semantic markup. For example, to specify multi-column properties, you actually need to specify the items in an odd order (namely line by line instead of column wise).
I made my own. In the end, it was much easier that way; you get what you want. Especially if you have situations in which you need to quickly prepare e.g. a 4-page CV, you know how to tweak your own layout to meet the requirements.
Some key tools:
There are lots of resume examples here with source: http://rpi.edu/dept/arc/training/latex/resumes/.
Google can show a thousand other examples, but that's a good place to start.
I like europass and everyone seems impressed when they see the results... specially for Europe applications!
I will second the Taraborelli CV templates at http://nitens.org/taraborelli/cvtex. In the past I've used the curve and moderncv packages but, in the end, found the combination of his elegant templates + xelatex to be the simplest and most flexible solution. I wasn't constrained by particular sectioning, etc.
Personally, I use the Hoefler Text+Optima. I also like the Caslon.
The TeX Catalogue list CV packages in a category:
By the way: I wasn't satisfied by the results of such packages. So, I used scrartcl and tabularx to typeset my CV. This way I could match it to the design of my application letter done with scrlttr2. I used tabularx in macros, allowing easy adjustments for all parts of the CV at once. Simple and elegant, no fancy colored lines and the like.
Copied from here to this topic following a request.
This strikes me as a particularly good example of a CV or vita. The latex code can be seen here. As an example, see the author's vita.
My current resume is based on the

This package is still under development but it shows great progress. Here is a sample screen shot of an example made using the class file.

I found CurVe to be a nice package. Used it to get two student jobs and apparently, it worked :). The only drawback is that the default structure of the CV may need adjustments to your specific purposes.

I ended up making my own, but it took a while. Expect to have to fight LaTeX's defaults on a lot of things. That said, it's worth it. I learned a lot about LaTeX and have a good resume that I can say I wrote.
I wouldn't be surprised, but it seems like if you're going to use LaTeX for your resume, be prepared to answer truthfully whether you used a template or not, and be comfortable with the answer.
Here's an example of a nice-looking "home-made" CV: http://nitens.org/taraborelli/cvtex
If you'd like to use LaTeX along with BibTeX, I have a template here:
It is based on Dario Taraborelli's template (http://nitens.org/taraborelli/cvtex) and uses bibtex and the bibentry package to make the publications section.
Here is a Hacker News thread with many examples of resumes and CVs in (La)TeX:

I find this makes it much easier for me to reorganize/reorder my CV. Previously it was easy to move my "teaching" section before my "service" section, but with
I adapted the resume class found in http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~csuros/latex.html.
LaTeX Templates showcases several templates, ranging from conservative to fancy.
I ended up using Classicthesis-Styled CV. It caught my eye as most esthetically pleasing. And even with my poor LaTeX skills was very easy to adapt to my needs.
I prepare 2 versions of my CV; a resume; lists of publications and references; statements of teaching philosophy and research interests all on the basis of currvita. Well, with a considerable amount of hand-hacking. For added geekiness, the list of publications is primarily a specialized bibtex output format (which works nicely with getting a bibtex formatted list of my publications from spires).
For a professional looking CV there is Plasmati CV, good for banking, consultancy careers. ModernCV is colored works for serious and less serious careers (communication management etc... and Friggeri CV is the template for designers etc... ModernCV is used at CVsintellect and the 3 are used in seeveeze

Two fighters in need of a win will clash in October at UFC Fight Night 30 when Alessio Sakara (19-10 MMA, 6-7 UFC) takes on Tom Watson (16-6 MMA, 1-2 UFC).
UFC officials announced the middleweight bout overnight.
UFC Fight Night 30, which features a Michael Bisping vs. Mark Munoz headliner, takes place Oct. 26 at Manchester Arena in England. The night's main card airs on FOX Sports 2 following prelims on Facebook.
Sakara vs. Watson will be part of the prelims.
In early 2010, Sakara was riding high with a three-fight winning streak that earned him a shot at the division's upper echelon. However, since then, he's suffered three consecutive losses, to Chris Weidman, Brian Stann and then Patrick Cote.

At the time of his death of an aortic aneurysm at age 76, Albert Einsteins brain was no bigger, and weighed no more, than the brain of an average older male. But beneath that unique organs external folds and fissures, our universe was re-conceived. So not surprisingly, when photographs of Einsteins post-mortem brain unexpectedly came to light recently, scientists were keen to find evidence of the genius that lay within.
The result is a remarkably detailed look at the surface of Einsteins brain, published recently in the journal Brain. Among the unusual features of Einsteins cerebral cortex, portrayed in a series of 14 high-quality photographs, are evidence of his early training as a violinist, his highly evolved skill in imagining events and simulating their consequences, and his remarkable powers of non-verbal visuospatial processing.
These tantalizing pieces of evidence are not obvious: In most cases, they must be deduced by the existence of extra folds, larger-than-usual bulges or other anatomical quirks seen on the surface of the cerebral cortex.
The tension-based theory of how the brains convolutions and sulci are formed suggests that the surface of the brain its growth limited by the skull folds in on itself to make room as clusters of neurons connect, reconnect and reorganize themselves with mental exercise. The resulting growth in neurons and connective tissue should show up as asymmetry in the shapes and sizes of the brains hemispheres, and in the distinctive sub-areas of the brain that process perception, movement and high-level thought.
Upon Einsteins death, his heirs approved the removal of his brain, and a trove of histological slides were made, documenting minute slices of the theoretical-physicists brain. And if only they could all be found, more evidence of Einsteins genius might be gleaned.
One hundred sixty of the slides, made from 240 blocks of Einsteins brain, are at Princetons University Medical Center, and an additional 560 slides are housed at the National Museum of Health and Medicine, until recently on the grounds of Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington. But the whereabouts of many slides are unknown. (Slices of Einsteins preserved brain tissue are known to be in Ontario, California, Alabama, Argentina, Japan, Hawaii and Philadelphia.)
Among the asymmetries observed by the authors of the Brain article are Einsteins parietal lobes, where much of the circuitry for visuospatial and mathematical thinking is housed. On the surface of Einsteins primary motor cortex, an enlarged knob is evident in the area where the brain represents the left hand: The authors of the study surmised that this is probably the result of Einsteins early and extensive training on the violin.
The surfaces of Einsteins visual cortex were found to be particularly dense with folds evidence, perhaps, of the physicists unique talent for closing his eyes and visualizing objects, the authors wrote.
Not so surprising was the finding that Einsteins prefrontal cortices the seat of higher reasoning and judgment were relatively expanded. His brawn there may have provided underpinnings for some of his extraordinary cognitive abilities, including his productive use of thought experiments, the authors wrote.
The authors also suggested that their observations on Einsteins brain might allow researchers to compare it with the preserved brains of other mental giants in a bid to map the anatomy of genius.
The fully preserved brain of the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss was preserved upon his death in 1855. The brain of the physiologist Ivan Pavlov was preserved for further study after he died in 1936.

Dark PresenceWatch Full Episode
Premiere Date:October 29, 2009
There's a growing phenomenon of alleged UFO sightings known as Orbs. Witnesses who see the Orbs also report having dreams, premonitions, and a deep fear. Some believe that the Orbs coincide with earthquakes, while others claim that the sightings are clustered around sacred sites and petroglyphs that depict the Orbs in ancient artwork. The team will take their investigation to three of the most active Orbs locations in America–Arizona, Indiana and Missouri–to examine video and talk to eyewitnesses, to unravel the mystery of why Orbs are appearing with alarming regularity, perhaps directed by an otherworldly intelligence.TVPG

Eula Maye Stivers, 90, of Del City died
Sept. 16, 2011, in Oklahoma City. Maye
was born Feb. 5, 1921, in Leflore. She was
the daughter of James Franklin and Nannie
Lou Borden. She was preceded in death by
her parents; daughter, Sandra Pollard;
brother, Robert L. Borden; sisters, Ruth
Mings, Rubye Parks and Rilla Wyatt;
grandson, Nathan Pollard.
Maye is survived by her daughter, Connie Stivers and
husband, John Nolen of Del City; granddaughter, Neile
Blackwell of Del City; grandson, Bryan Pollard and his
wife, Deepa of Tahlequah; many loved nieces, nephews,
Carl Albert State College received notification from U.S. Representative Dan Boren and U.S. Senator James Inhofe that a new Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) grant has been funded in the amount of $495,921 with the first budget period running September 2011 through August 2012. The grant funding will continue for a total of $2,479,605 over a five year period.
TAHLEQUAH — The Spiro Lady Bulldogs softball team was going to have to do things the hard way Thursday afternoon if they were going to be playing in next week's Class 3A State Tournament.
In the Class 3A Regional Tournament Wednesday afternoon, the Lady Bulldogs suffered a heart-breaking, nine-inning, 3-2 loss to the Beggs Lady Golden Demons in their first game of the tournament. However, they bounced back with just as thrilling a game, edging the Adair Lady Warriors in eight innings.
The Poteau Pirates football team will look to snap a two-game losing streak when they travel to play the Tulsa Webster Warriors at 7:30 p.m. tonight for a District 4A-4 contest.
The Pirates (2-2 overall, 0-1 in district play) lost last week's district opener 42-16 to the Hilldale Hornets — which came after a Week 3 31-16 setback at the hands of the Gravette (Ark.) Lions.
If there is a silver lining in the clouds from last week's district-opening loss, it's that the Pirates may have solved some of their deficiencies.
While it took four games to do it, the Bokoshe Tigers won their first game of the season last week against Eagle Point Christian Academy in a dramatic 48-42 win.
After four weeks, the Talihina Golden Tigers will finally get to play a District 2A-6 contest. The Golden Tigers (4-0, 0-0 in district play), ranked 10th in the Class 2A Poll, will entertain the Panama Razorbacks (0-4, 0-1) at 7:30 p.m. tonight at Doc Robinson Stadium.
The Arkoma Mustangs football team will get one last chance to fine tune things before the rest of the District C-4 schedule. The Mustangs will welcome Eagle Point Christian Academy at 7:30 p.m. tonight at home.
Since this is the final non-district game, there are some things which Arkoma Coach Mark Weatherton would like to accomplish tonight.
The Spiro Bulldogs are on a three-game losing streak since opening the 2011 season with a 44-6 win over Panama at McClain Stadium.
But since then, the Bulldogs (1-3 overall, 0-1 in District 3A-8) has scored only 29 points, with the six in last week's 23-6 district-opening loss to Idabel coming on Kaleb Guidry's interception return for a touchdown.
"That's been the problem," Spiro Coach Chris Bunch said.

The Shop App is for sellers that want to offer several products. It best suits eCommerce starters, like small companies, musicians, authors, publishers or Brick and Mortar shop owners. Webshop owners and bigger brands can use the Shop App as a marketing tool, to run campaigns on facebook through embedding the shop on their facebook page. The Shop App can be used as a stand-alone webshop or it can be embedded into websites as webshop. The Shop App can also be embedded into a blog as a blog shop, and it can be inserted into a facebook page as a facebook shop.
Promotion Widget App: "Social Ad banner"
The Promotion Widget is similar to the Selling Widget, but without the checkout functionality. When you click open the widget, you'll get a detailed view of the product and its description. Another click takes the user to an external product link, i.e. into the webshop of the seller. Single products can be promoted on facebook in an attractive and innovative way. The Promotion Widget can be posted on facebook - as easy as posting a Youtube Video.
Social Actions App: The evolution of the "Like"-button
This functionality offers a whole new way of online advertising. Similar to the "I like"-experience on facebook, users can leave a statement about the product, i.e. "I want", "I have", "I love", "I own", "I wish" or "I bought" to express their emotions in a more detailed way. If a user clicks on one of these social actions, a Promotion Widget with pictures, description and information about the destination site is posted on the users' timeline. The App offers the code sniplet that a seller can include in his own website - similar to the "I like" button integration.
Social Q&A Plugin: feedback from friends in realtime
By using the Sellaround´s Social Q&A Plugin your customers will be enabled to get feedback from their friends in real time thus making better buying decisions. The focus is on interaction and users will actively talk about your brand in social networks.
These applications are available in the Sellaround Appstore in different packages, starting at € 9.90 a month. The first 30 days are free. Existing subscribers can upgrade into a higher subscription tier - or just keep using their current package.

KIAWAH ISLAND — The company wanting to build 50 homes on Capt. Sam's Spit is suing the island's homeowners association to get back a deed to property along the path of a proposed access road to the development.
The lawsuit decision could stymie plans for the development, or require developers to move the road, putting the fate of acclaimed Beachwalker Park further in jeopardy.
The road is planned to run between the scenic park's parking lot and the beach. Opponents have been concerned that it would run along an emergency vehicle easement through the parking lot.
The spit where the controversial development is planned is a narrow, wildlife-rich reach of exposed land on the Kiawah's western end.

text: Items 61 to 72 of 249 total View 12 / 24 / 48 Previous 1 ... 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 ... 21 Next Stability By Valerie on 10/5/2014 Valerie would recommend this product to a friend This unit has not failed once. I use Kalkwasser in my auto top water and the pump hasn't failed yet. The pump is a little bit loud but the BRS staff told me to pull the airline tubing out a little bit and it made it much quieter. functional and efficient By Steven on 9/8/2014 Steven would recommend this product to a friend I have used the Tunze for two years now and it meets my expectations. One needs to take seriously the caution to not have the feeder hose under the surface of the aquarium water level. I flooded my office twice doing just that. Also, the pump has a 6 month to a year longevity and they go out without much fan fare. Keep a couple extra pumps, at 23 dollars, on hand. My final caution is not a fault of the unit but I have an auto feeder in my lower tank and when the feeder was too close to the optical sensor flakes of food caused the unit to think the tank was at level and it failed to fill. Keep the food as far away from the sensor as possible. Beyond these concerns, it is a great unit and very dependable. Gold Standard of ATO By Keith on 9/4/2014 Keith would recommend this product to a friend The system comes with everything you need to get an ultra-reliable and well built auto top off system in place on your aquarium. This is a must if you want to keep your parameters consistent and your tank running as it should. Make sure and put the rubber feet on both halves of the magnets to keep them from sliding around. I love the redundancy of an optical eye, a mechanical float switch and then a timer on the pump. makes reefing easy By matthew on 8/23/2014 matthew would recommend this product to a friend This auto top off makes my life easy, I have had it for over a year now and have never had a problem. Wonderful product that has made my life easier By David on 8/15/2014 David would recommend this product to a friend I was a little skeptical at first installing an auto top off. I had fears or dumping 30 gallons of fresh water into my tank with a faulty device or switch. Having this up and running now for awhile has been great! The sensor is very sensitive and adds small amounts of water throughout the day. I also like the back up float switch. It was easy to set up and the magnets make adjustment simple. I now fill my top off container every several weeks and that's all! One piece of caution is to watch the placement of the top of container as you can get a siphon started. Great product! Phenomenal! By MCHERRI on 8/5/2014 MCHERRI would recommend this product to a friend I purchased this device a year ago and I cannot begin to explain how wonderful it has been since. No more daily top off. Now you can just sit back and enjoy your aquarium. Coupled with an automatic feeder, you'll spend less time worrying about your fish and coral, and more time enjoying your tank! Great Pruduct By Crysos on 8/4/2014 Crysos would recommend this product to a friend I got this about 3 months ago and it is great! Easy setup and it keeps my water where it needs to be. I am home and watching my tank all the time but this is just a great tool to help with top off! good product recommended. By perry on 7/22/2014 perry would recommend this product to a friend This is a great product by tunze all-around. the only problem I had with the unit is that the metering bump broke shortly after I received the unit. but I contacted tunze and the quickly replaced the pump at no charge. Working great. Shutoff redundency By John on 7/7/2014 John would recommend this product to a friend I have been using this in my 75 gallon or approximately 18 months. It has been working flawlessly. I originally had the sensor in my display tank and when I introduced a sump, I moved the sensor into my sump. I am using RO/DI water with no Kalkwasser added. I like that there are two mechanisms to shut off the unit if the level is higher than it should be. The best By Jim on 6/27/2014 Jim would recommend this product to a friend Really not much to say as the product is excellent quality and works. Do yourself a favor and don't cut corners on an ATO. Simple design with a back up switch By mfief on 6/26/2014 mfief would recommend this product to a friend if you read the directions this is fairly easy to set up. I didn't want to spend the money but in the end it has been worth every penny. I definitely noticed a difference in my corals. instead of adding a half gallon of top off water in the morning and at night this does the job several times through out the day without forgetting. I love the sensitivity of the optical sensor and the face that there is a back up float valve and alarm as an insurance policy. The pump is a little noisy and be careful with the magnets, they are strong and will get more than your attention if you pinch yourself with them. Easy set up By Joshua on 5/28/2014 Joshua would recommend this product to a friend Its working great so far. It only took me about 15 minutes to set it up.

Let's say that you have fully configured a Cloud Server running on GoGrid. You're so proud of your achievement that you want to share your configuration with your team or perhaps even with the GoGrid community. And let's imagine that you or your company has developed a software solution that you'd like to monetize within a Public Cloud. Well, the process of creating and sharing a GoGrid Cloud Server Image (GSI) is easy and literally takes just a few minutes.
Similar to our previous "How To" article and video ("How to Select, Configure, & Deploy a GoGrid Cloud Server in Minutes"), the process of creating a GSI is straightforward and can be simplified into 3 easy steps:
1. Select
2. Save
3. Share
Before I show you how easy it is to create a GoGrid Cloud Server Image, here are some ways you might use it:
- To reduce setup and configuration times for new servers
- To enable rapid horizontal scaling of servers
- To create a back-up repository of your GoGrid servers
- To share your server configuration with your team for future cloud deployments
- To monetize a software solution

With the latest updates from Yahoo and Windows Live, Google's competition is getting better. Instead of asking you which one is the best, I wrote a small script that displays the top results from the most popular three search engines for a query. You should only say which result is more relevant.
Think of a complicated query from a domain you're familiar with, because you can only vote once. Select more than one option if the best result is displayed more than once. Search results will open in a new tab or in a new window. If you read this in a feed reader, go to the original page to see the poll.
Note: the order of the search engines is fixed, so the third result always comes from the same search engine. Even if the order can be easily guessed by doing some searches or looking at the code, please don't post it in the comments.
Update: The poll is now closed. Check the results.

This was inspired by Jake's progress on decorating his Christmas tree.
Do you have holiday decorations up, out, around, hanging, lurking, or eating a sandwich over in a corner?
Post a picture of them, whether they're indoors or out! Kwanzaa, Hannukah, Christmas, Samhain, Advent, St. Lucia's Day, Diwali - it's all good.
I'll start:
This is the 12' fake tree that my mom and I decorated. It's in the atrium. Yes, there's a mural painted on the atrium's walls. Yes, we use the upper part of the staircase to get ornaments and lights on the top-most reaches of the tree....and when the staircase doesn't cut it, standing on the third rung up on a ladder usually does the trick.
I haven't made any photographs of it at night, but I'll give it a shot later on and post something if it turns out.

Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Juan Francisco, Dan Uggla and Freddie Freeman each hit a two-run homer on Wednesday and the Braves pounded the Mets, 14-6, in the finale of a three-game series.
Atlanta, which was swept by the Mets to begin the season, has won seven of its last eight games overall, including the final two in this series.
Michael Bourn went 3-for-4 with two RBI and Martin Prado also knocked in a pair. Jair Jurrjens allowed four runs on seven hits over four-plus innings and Cristhian Martinez (1-0) earned the win after giving up one run in two innings of relief.
"It was awesome," Uggla said. "It was really fun to watch. Francisco got us going with another homer."
David Wright had three RBI, Ike Davis hit a solo home run and Kirk Nieuwenhuis went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles for the Mets, losers of three of their last four.
R.A. Dickey (2-1) took the loss and saw his major league-leading streak of 14 straight quality starts come to an emphatic end. He was charged with eight runs on eight hits and two walks over 4 1/3 innings.
"I've got to give us a better shot," Dickey said. "We were hitting the ball great. I wish I would've kept us in the game longer."
The Braves went on top for good in the third. Jurrjens and Bourn led off with consecutive singles before scoring on Prado's double down the left-field line. Uggla followed two batters later with a two-run homer for a 6-3 advantage.
Wright scored Nieuwenhuis and chased Jurrjens with an infield single in the fifth, but Freeman threw Daniel Murphy out at the plate later in the inning and hit a two-run homer in the bottom half to make it 8-4.
Josh Thole doubled to begin the sixth and later scored on Nieuwenhuis's single, but Atlanta continued to pull ahead. In the home sixth, Chipper Jones hit an RBI double with a catchable fly to left fielder Jason Bay and scored on Bourn's line drive single. The Mets left the bases loaded in the seventh before Matt Diaz and Bourn slapped two-out RBI singles, making it 12-5.
Nieuwenhuis led off the eighth with a double and Murphy followed with an RBI single but Jason Heyward tripled a half-inning later and scored on Freeman's sac fly before David Ross doubled home Francisco to cap the scoring.
Earlier, Davis led off the second inning with a blast over the wall in right- center field for his third home run of the season to give the Mets an initial lead.
The Braves went in front in the bottom of the inning when Francisco followed Freeman's one-out double with his second home run of the season and second in as many games.
The Mets regained the lead when Nieuwenhuis and Murphy each walked with one out in the third and raced home on a double off the center-field wall by Wright. Davis then drilled a hard one-hopper off the glove of Freeman at first and Wright was easily gunned down at home by Uggla, who was backing up the play. After Bay again walked, Duda was caught looking at a third strike to keep it a 3-2 game.
Wright is now tied with Darryl Strawberry for the most RBI in team history (733)...The Braves improved to 6-1 on the season when they score four or more runs in a game...Heyward extended his hit streak to eight straight games...Dickey's quality start streak dated back to July 25th of last year. It was the longest streak in the majors since Jered Weaver had 15 straight quality starts from May 18-August 5, 2011.
