Majoring in Music involves the study of the history of music, music theory and composition, and the performance of one or more instruments. How does music convey emotions, thoughts and ideals? How are certain vocal techniques developed? How do computer-based music technologies work? You'll specialize in one of three tracks (applied music, music history, or music theory and composition) as you take 44 credit hours towards a Bachelor of Arts degree.
You'll also have real opportunities to learn beyond the classroom, with performance opportunities at monthly recitals, campus concerts, studio classes, daily chapel services, local church services, on international and U.S. tours and for many community functions. Because we design our music program to be responsive to the exact needs of the marketplace, it will be a relevant major if you're considering a career as a musician, conductor, composer/arranger, music publisher, music marketer, music therapist, church musician or other music-related professional.

By Will M on 8/13/2012 Will M would recommend this product to a friend I have used frozen, and bottles of chilled food, dry, etc, but this stuff takes the cake for ease of use. And not only is it easy to use, my corals love it. The torch eats it up, my shrimp go nuts and it's small enough that my SPS can utilize it as well. I have seen excellent extension of polyps and growth since I switched to this product. Thanks!!!! Great stuff By Phillip on 8/9/2012 Phillip would recommend this product to a friend Been using for about 3 weeks and have already seen extended polyps. Seems better than CF I was using. Unbelievable Response When This Food Hits The Water! By Jorge on 8/9/2012 Jorge would recommend this product to a friend I bought Reef Chili because I didn't want to have four different types of coral food to worry about. After reading up on what is included in Reef Chili I decided to give it a shot. The first time I put it into the tank, I got an incredible reaction from my tank inhabitants. My skunk shrimp shot up to the top of the tank to see what it was, my nocturnal coral's polyps started to come out within a minute of me putting it in there. Even my clowns and chromis started going crazy. Everything in my tank loves Reef Chili and it's incredibly easy to prepare and feed. I got the feeding jar so I could target feed and it works great. I started combining this with brine shrimp so I could feed everything at the same time. Just make sure you cut a larger opening for your feeding jar so the shrimp don't clog it. Fantastic product that I will recommend to anyone! Good Stuff By mike on 8/8/2012 mike would recommend this product to a friend This stuff stinks. But BRS had this bottle filled to the RIM. Not like when you go to the store and buy a big bag of chips, only to be dissappointed when you open it. Well done BRS. fantastic food By Lew on 8/7/2012 Lew would recommend this product to a friend This Reef Chili is by far the best coral food made. Very inexpensive and a little goes along way. Once you add to your tank everything goes crazy for it. Don't hesitate on buying this great product. Corals and fish LOVE it By Jonah on 7/26/2012 Jonah would recommend this product to a friend The second a put it in the water, it was a feeding frenzy! I had to start "basting" my corals with it or else they weren't gonna get any thanks to my fish. Everyone seems to love it. good stuff By THANIT on 7/16/2012 THANIT would recommend this product to a friend BRS team .. you did it again - another great product. A fellow reefer told me to try this product, i'm glad i did . Everything in my tank is looking healthy, and opening up more. BRS ... keep up the awesome job ! My Corals love it By Joshua on 7/11/2012 Joshua would recommend this product to a friend My Corals open up really big when this stuff hits the tank. Amazing everything is thriving since i've started to use it. Coral Growth Love it By Patrick on 7/8/2012 Patrick would recommend this product to a friend I have ben using reef chili along with cyclop-Eeze and my coral have opened up and love this stuff. I am getting allot more growth with this combo than with the other stuff I was using. Excellent, unique product! By Sarah on 6/28/2012 Sarah would recommend this product to a friend Reef Chili Coral Food is the only food that causes my dendros to fully extend, by feeding this often they are extended throughout the day. Additionally, the fish and inverts go fanatic over it. I feed 1-2 times per week in addition to my routine daily feeding. I could not beleive the activity this causes By Andy on 6/1/2012 Andy would recommend this product to a friend The coral, fish, stars, and shrimp went nuts over this stuff! A great product Straight up Awesomeness! By Terry on 5/31/2012 Terry would recommend this product to a friend This stuff rocks. Had some slow growing Zoas and I mean slow going on 6 months and just got a new polyp within a week of feeding with this mix. Everything i got loves this stuff. Will have to stock up on this stuff.

Two Homers Help Hawks Cruise Past Altoona 14-9
Collins earns first home run of season
- Release Date:
- April 19, 2010

- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Hamburg, NY: Amanda Ratajczak (Cheektowaga, NY/ Maryvale) and Halsey Baker (Scio, NY/ Scio) {pictured left}helped the Hawks to a 14-9 victory over Penn State Altoona in game two as each player recorded their second and third home run of the season. Hilbert improves their AMCC conference record to 3-9 taking one game from Altoona on Sunday afternoon.
Hilbert wasted no time in game two getting on the scoreboard first as they took a 6-2 lead after one inning of play. Hilbert kept the offense flowing in the bottom of the second as Rachel Parker (Hamburg, NY/ Hamburg) and Sarah Collins (Milroy, PA/ Indian Valley) hit back to back doubles. Baker would hit her third home run of the year which would score two more runs to extend the Hawks lead to 8-3.
Altoona would pull within one run in the top of the third to trail 8-7 after a 3-RBI homer by Kara Myers, but the Hawks would use another four-run inning to push the lead back to five.
Ratajczak would extend the lead to seven after a line drive home run over the centerfield fence in the bottom of the fourth inning registering another Hawk 2-RBI home run.
The Lions would score two more runs in the game but come up short as they suffered their seventh conference loss of the season.
This is the second time this season Baker and Ratajczak have homered in the same game.
Collins earned her first triple of the season and team leading sixth double in the 14-9 victory.
Game one went to the Lions as they defeated Hilbert 7-4. Collins led the offense going 2-for-4 earning two RBI and scoring one run from her first home run of 2010. Heidi Shoemanker led Altoona to a conference win as she also went 2-for-4, scoring two runs and earning two RBI.
The Hawks will face Pitt- Bradford on Wednesday, April 23, at 3 p.m. Bradford brings an overall record of 17-13 and a conference record of 14-2.

There is no question that this site saved my life and the life of my daughter. When I was pregnant a friend had postpartum HELLP. I didn't know what it was so I googled it and this site came up. I learned all about it and the symptoms. When I was 33 weeks pregnant I had extreme swelling, high BP and horrible upper right abdominal pain. The L & D said it was likely gall bladder issues. I told them I was sure it was HELLP syndrome. I kept fighting with them and after some time I was diagnosed with class 1 HELLP and had an emergency c-section. My daughter and I were in separate ICUs but are luckily ok today.
I know if I didn't know the symptoms from here I would have believed them when they said it was a gall bladder attack. Thank you for educating people about this terrible disease. You are certainly saving lives.

Looking at getting a new semiauto in .223. I have read something about the Saiga being hard on the brass due to the need for the Russians to mark the fired cases to show if the case came came from a military or civilian weapon.
I reload for the .223 and am wondering if the damage is bad enough to effect reloading?
Thanks, -greg

Belfort: 'I deserve a title shot' - Mixed Martial Arts News
36-years-old Vitor Belfort won the UFC light heavyweight championship in early 2004, following years of competing in that division and heavyweight. Now, nearly a decade later, he wants another shot at the middleweight title.
Belfort has proved to be a phenom at middleweight, losing only to champion Anderson Silva, and beating Yoshihiro Akiyama, Anthony Johnson, and Michael Bisping in under twleve minutes combined.
He also lost to UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, after taking the fight on short notice, and nearly securing an armbar, before losing via keylock in the fourth round. In so doing, he lasted longer vs. Jones that anyone but Rashad Evans and 'Rampage' Jackson.
Belfort has been fighting in the UFC for over 16 years.
"Let me be clear, I am not looking for a rematch with anyone," Belfort told Bleacher Report recently. "What I want is the belt. It doesnt matter who has it."
"I feel that I am starting my career right now. I feel young enough to keep fighting for a bunch more fights."
"I have been fighting and winning all the fights in my division. I think I deserve a title shot."
Belfort fights Luke Rockhold on May 28 at UFC on FX 8: Belfort vs. Rockhold.
Rockhold has been a harsh critic of Belfort's use of Testosterone Replacement Therapy, saying TRT is "a crock of st" and that he was "more of a man than Vitor," with "more heart than Vitor."
Belfort declined to bicker with Rockhold over the accusation, saying only "he is a great fighter... (the TRT comment) is just what he says."

The Bachelorette
Why Is Jef Holm Visiting South Carolina With Chris Harrison?
What is The Bachelorette's Jef Holm up to? And what does it have to do with Chris Harrison? These are the questions that have been running on repeat in our minds ever since Jef's latest tweet:
"Still not getting used to this 3 hrs of sleep thing. Off to Columbia, SC to cross something big off the bucket list with @chrisbharrison."
What could be in South Carolina? We know that it isn't too far from Charlotte, North Carolina, which is where Jef's ex, Emily Maynard, lives. Could Jef and Chris be working on a reunion for the couple?
Or could Jef be getting ready for something else with the Bachelorette family? Our heads are spinning with possibilities …

Comments On Apr 20, 2015:I paid $60 for professional upholster to install it instead of doing it myself. In hindsight I should've just tryed after reading all these reviews. But cover holds up well after about 30 hours on it. No stretches, wrinkles, or rips. Color hasn't faded after being parked on dunes or on the truck for many hours.

Pistorius defense scores at hearingBy LYDIA POLGREEN
New York Times | February 21,2013AP PHOTO
A woman holds a photo of Reeva Steenkamp as she leaves her funeral in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, on Tuesday.PRETORIA, South Africa What began Wednesday as a day for the prosecution to solidify what it had described as an irrefutable case of premeditated murder against Oscar Pistorius, the Paralympic champion, turned into a near-rout by the defense, which attacked the testimony of the states main witness, the chief police investigator.
It was the second full day of a hearing to decide whether Pistorius, the double amputee nicknamed Blade Runner who made Olympic history by running with able-bodied athletes in the 2012 Games in London, should be given bail as he awaits trial for shooting his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, early last Thursday. Pistorius claimed in an affidavit read in court Tuesday that he had mistaken Steenkamp for a burglar and had shot her out of fear.
But what was supposed to be merely a bail hearing took on the proportions of a full-blown trial, with sharp questions from the presiding magistrate, Desmond Nair, and a withering cross-examination that left the prosecutions main witness, Detective Hilton Botha, grasping for answers that did not contradict his earlier testimony.
At first, Bothas testimony seemed to go well. He explained how preliminary ballistic evidence supported the prosecutions assertion that Pistorius had been wearing prosthetic legs when he shot at the bathroom door, behind which hid Steenkamp. Pistorius claimed in his affidavit that he had hobbled over from his bedroom on his stumps, and felt extremely vulnerable to an intruder as a result.
As Botha described how bullets had pierced Steenkamps skull and shattered her arm and hip bones, Pistorius sobbed with his head in his hands.
A defenseless woman, unarmed, was gunned down, Botha said.
Using a schematic diagram of the bedroom, the prosecutor, Gerrie Nel, asked Botha to walk Nair through the crime scene. The detective explained that Steenkamps slippers and overnight bag were on the left side of the bed, next to the sliding balcony door that Pistorius claimed he got up in the middle of the night to close. He also said the holster of Pistorius 9 mm pistol was found under the left side of the bed, next to where Steenkamp would have been sleeping. That called into question Pistorius statement that he thought Steenkamp was still in bed when he heard the sound of a burglar, the detective said.
If the girl was on the bed, that is where the holster was found, Botha said.
Botha said investigators had found two boxes of testosterone along with syringes and needles in Pistorius bedroom.
Testosterone is a banned substance for most professional athletes, and is known to increase aggression in people who take supplements of it.
Asked by Nel what he would have done had he suspected that an intruder was in his bedroom, Botha replied, I would get my girlfriend and try to get her out of the room.
He said he had interviewed witnesses who said that they heard shouting in the house, and that the lights were on, contradicting Pistorius statement that it had been too dark to see anything in the bedroom.
A neighbor, he said, heard two people talking loud at one another, it sounded like a fight, between 2 and 3 a.m.
Other witnesses spoke about hearing two or three shots, then a womans scream, followed by more shots, Botha said.
He also described previous violent incidents involving Pistorius. He had threatened to assault a man in an altercation about a woman at a racetrack, Botha said. He told another man that he would break his legs, Botha testified.
Botha also testified that Pistorius had foreign bank accounts and a house in Italy, which made him a flight risk.
I believe he knew that she was in the bathroom, Botha said. And that he shot four shots through the door.
Barry Roux, a lawyer for Pistorius, cross-examined Botha, seeking to poke holes in his account.
The substance found, Roux said, was not testosterone at all but a herbal supplement called testocomposutim coenzyme, which is used by many athletes and not banned by anti-doping agencies. Asked if the substance had been tested, Botha said tests had not yet been completed.
I didnt read the whole name on the container, Botha admitted.
He acknowledged that the witness who claimed to have heard the two arguing had lived almost 2,000 feet away, possibly out of earshot. Under questioning by the prosecutor, he later revised the estimate to 1,000 feet.
Botha also acknowledged that there were no signs that Steenkamp had defended herself against an assailant, and that the police had no evidence that the couples relationship was anything but loving.
Roux accused the prosecution of selectively taking every piece of evidence and try to extract the most possibly negative connotation and present it to the court.
Botha was forced to admit that the police forensic team had missed a shell casing that the defense lawyers later found in the toilet bowl, and that he had entered the crime scene without covering his shoes because the police had run out of shoe covers.
Eventually, Botha conceded that he could not rule out Pistorius version of events based on the existing evidence.
Nair seemed skeptical that Pistorius was a flight risk.
Do you subjectively believe that he would take the option, being who he is, using prostheses to get around, familiar as he is, to flee South Africa if he were granted bail? Nair asked Botha.
Yes, he replied.
The court was adjourned, and final arguments in the bail hearing are to be heard Thursday morning.MORE IN This Just InThe family of a Connecticut man who was killed in a car accident on Route 4 last Friday night is...

TOPEKA — Churubusco's volleyball team hit the road to take on the first-place team in the Northeast Corner Conference Thursday, and fell in three games.
The Lady Eagles gave Westview all it could handle in the first set, but the Lady Warriors held on to win the match — 25-23, 25-13 and 25-12.
In the first game, Churubusco jumped out to an early lead.
Lady Eagle Head Volleyball Coach Trinda Goings said her squad was able to take command early and go up 14-8.
A key timeout called by Westview shifted momentum the other direction. The host Lady Warriors were able to scratch and chip away at the 'Busco lead, and the score was tied at 19.
From that point, Westview leaped forward and captured the advantage. The Lady Warriors were able to finish off the set at 25-23.

|MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2013 | 7pm
This program has passed. The video will be posted shortly.
Patrick Farrell, Benjy Fox-Rosen, Svetlana Kundish, Josh Waletzky, Michael Winograd and Special Guest, Deborah Strauss
A reception with the artists will follow the concert.
Admission: General - $15 | YIVO, CJH, CTMD members, seniors and students - $10
Box Office: smarttix.com | 212.868.4444
A special concert celebrating the work of leading musicians and composers who are at the vanguard of developing a new canon of Yiddish song. Working through a transnational artistic network, these individuals are creating new music that is both rooted in tradition yet endowed with a contemporary expressive vision.
This program features the North American debut of the extraordinary Berlin-based singer Svetlana Kundish, who has been taking the European Yiddish world by storm, and new compositions by artists such as Patrick Farrell, Benjy Fox-Rosen and Michael Winograd as well as renowned Yiddish songwriter Josh Waletzky. Violinist Deborah Strauss will appear as a special guest.
This event is part of the The An-sky Institute for Jewish Culture Series and is presented by the Center for Traditional Music and Dance, the Sholem Aleichem Cultural Center, the YIVO Institute and the Center for Jewish History.
Patrick Farrell is a Brooklyn-based accordionist, composer, bandleader and brass fanatic who has been described as a "wizard" by Feast of Music and as a player of "mordant wit and blistering speed" by Lucid Culture. He specializes in klezmer, new-music, improvisational forms and brass bands, and other genres. Current projects include the avant-garde klezmer group, Michael Winograd Klezmer Trio, duets with trumpeter Ben Holmes, Serbian-style brass band Veveritse, and the chamber-folk ensemble Ljova and the Kontraband. He plays in Frank London's Klezmer Brass All-Stars and Alicia Svigals's Klezmer Fiddle Express, and the Russian/Romanian Roma-music ensemble Romashka. Farrell has produced or co-produced six different albums and has appeared on over thirty recordings. He has studied accordion in Macedonia, Serbia, Germany, Hungary and Romania, and tours internationally.
Benjy Fox-Rosen is a singer, bassist and composer creating new Jewish music. Ranging from re-imaginings of Yiddish art songs to original settings of the poetry of Krakow's Mordechai Gebirtig, Fox-Rosen's music has received critical acclaim from around the globe. Hailed by The Forward as "one of the rising stars in the Yiddish music scene" Fox-Rosen performs with many of the living legends of the so-called Klezmer Revival. In 2012 Fox-Rosen was the recipient of a New York State Council for the Arts 'Folk Apprenticeship' grant to study with master Yiddish singer/composer Joshua Waletzky, and in 2012-2013, he was the recipient of a Fulbright research grant for the study of Moldovan and Yiddish music. In addition to touring internationally, Fox-Rosen has taught workshops at KlezKamp, KlezKanada, The New England Conservatory, Krakow's famed Jewish Festival, The Vilnius Yiddish Institute and many other festivals.
Svetlana Kundish is a soprano originally from the Ukraine and Israel, and is now based in Germany. Sveta was a member of The Group for New Music in Israel, devoted to performing music from Terezín and pre-war works by composers who were active in the ghettos. In 2007, she decided to continue her vocal studies at a professional institution abroad and was invited by Professor Yuri Kokozey to attend at the Prayner Konservatorium in Vienna, from which she graduated in 2011. In 2008, Kundish won first prize in the international vocal competition The Golden Hanukkia in Berlin, and in 2012, she began her studies in the Cantorial Department of the Abraham Geiger Kolleg, also in Berlin. Kundish performs throughout Europe in solo programs dedicated to the variety of Jewish Music. She is a soloist in The Voice of Ashkenaz, Kol Isha, Wien-Erfurt Klezmerbrücke and in other projects and bands. She is a regular artist-in-residence and faculty member at Yiddish Summer Weimar.
Josh Waletzky has been a lifelong force in the field of Yiddish music, as teacher, performer and composer. A pioneer in the early days of the klezmer revival of the 1970s and 80s, Waletzky was a founding member of Kapelye, an early, leading band of the klezmer revival. He co-produced the Grammy-nominated album of Jewish songs of resistance, "Partisans of Vilna" (1989), and his groundbreaking CD of original Yiddish songs, "Crossing the Shadows" (2001), was hailed as "a classic of the American-Jewish folk revival." Waletzky is also an Academy Award-nominated filmmaker, whose vast catalogue includes the seminal documentaries about Jewish life in Europe, Image Before My Eyes and Partisans of Vilna (which was followed by a Grammy-nominated soundtrack), and he served as a consultant on the script and music for Barbra Streisand's film Yentl.
Michael Winograd Clarinetist Michael Winograd is one of the most sought out Klezmer musicians today. He performs internationally with his own group, the Michael Winograd Klezmer Trio (with Patrick Farrell on Accordion and Bassist/Vocalist Benjy Fox-Rosen), Tarras Band, Yiddish Princess and with Socalled, Budowitz, Frank London and others. He teaches regularly at KlezKamp, KlezKanada and other Jewish music workshops throughout North America and Europe. His newest album "Storm Game" was released on Golden Horn Records in 2012.

It begins by exploring the disciplinary content of the Humanities, Societies and Environments teaching and learning area (Geography, History, Economics, and Civics and Citizenship) and familiarises students with current curriculum documents which identify learning standards in associated domains. After considering dominant classroom pedagogies used within, and outside of the school classroom, learners explore theories around notions of cultural institutions, and identify a number of sites for possible learning in Humanities domains. Simultaneously, the class will explore constructions of multidimensional citizenship, focussing on temporal (history and futures), spatial (geographic) and sustainable (economic) dimensions. Students study project based and inquiry learning, as well as seminar based activities highlighting practical applications of theoretical understandings developed in this course.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — Scientists have taken the idea of a film short down to new levels. Molecular levels.
IBM says it has made the tiniest stop-motion movie ever – a one-minute video of individual carbon monoxide molecules repeatedly rearranged to show a boy dancing, throwing a ball and bouncing on a trampoline.
Each frame measures 45 by 25 nanometers – there are 25 million nanometers in an inch – but hugely magnified, the movie is reminiscent of early video games, particularly when the boy bounces the ball off the side of the frame accompanied by simple music and sound effects.
The movie is titled "A Boy and His Atom." Videos showing atoms in motion have been seen before but Andreas Heinrich, IBM's principal scientist for the project, said Tuesday this is the first time anything so small has been maneuvered to tell a story.
"This movie is a fun way to share the atomic-scale world," Heinrich said. "The reason we made this was not to convey a scientific message directly, but to engage with students, to prompt them to ask questions."
Jamie Panas of Guinness World Records said Guinness certified the movie as "Smallest Stop-Motion Film."
IBM used a remotely operated two-ton scanning tunneling microscope at its lab in San Jose, Calif., to make the movie earlier this year. The microscope magnifies the surface over 100 million times. It operates at 450 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.
(268 degrees below zero Celsius).
The cold "makes life simpler for us," Heinrich said. "The atoms hold still. They would move around on their own at room temperature."
Scientists used the microscope to control a tiny, super-sharp needle along a copper surface, IBM said. At a distance of just 1 nanometer, the needle physically attracted the carbon monoxide molecules and pulled them to a precisely specified location on the surface.
The dots that make up the figures in the movie are the oxygen atoms in the molecule, Heinrich said.
The scientists took 242 still images that make up the movie's 242 frames.
Heinrich said the techniques used to make the movie are similar to what IBM is doing to make data storage smaller.
"As data creation and consumption continue to get bigger, data storage needs to get smaller, all the way down to the atomic level," he said.
In this undated image taken from video and provided by IBM, carbon monoxide molecules are arranged on the screen to form the IBM logo, in what IBM claims to be the world's tiniest stop-action movie. Entitled ìA Boy and his Atom,î the one minute video employs individual carbon monoxide molecules that are rearranged to show a boy carrying out various activities. Each of the 242 frames measures 45 by 25 nanometers which is one billionth of a meter. (AP Photo/IBM)×

Daniel Radcliffe Spotted Kissing His Sexy Co-Star — New Couple Alert?
The Half-Blood Prince? More like, the half-stud prince!
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe attended a party at the Sundance Film Festival on January 18 for his new film Kill Your Darlings. Erin Darke, his co-star in the film, was also there, and she and Daniel were spotted kissing at the party, with Daniel frequently rubbing her knee, according to People.
"They've been dating for a while but have been debating going public," says one partygoer.
Another partygoer who worked on the film referred to Erin as Daniel's "girlfriend."
However, when asked about Erin, Daniel played it cool, pretending like he didn't even know who "Erin" was.
"Erin? Oh, Erin Darke?" he responded. "Yeah, the whole cast is here. It's fantastic." Talk about a chamber of secrets.
Kill Your Darlings is about a muder involving the Beat Generation in the 1940s, with 23-year-old Daniel playing poet Allen Ginsburg.
Daniel reportedly broke up with his then-girlfriend in the fall of 2012 in order to start seeing Erin.
Best of luck to Daniel and his new "darling"!

Gerard Tsutakawa
Urban Peace Circle
Sam Smith Park
Martin Luther King Jr. Way S. and S. Atlantic St.
Gift to the city of Seattle by the "Stop The Violence" committee
A large-scale bronze sculpture with a black patina finish, the Urban Peace Circle is the culmination of a gun buy-back program instituted by Stop The Violence, an organization founded in 1992 in response to the tragic deaths of six youths from the Puget Sound area. Funds raised from the program were put towards the commission of the sculpture; its composition is meant to contrast the chaos and violence of the present with hope for a peaceful future. To underscore the gravity of this message, several of the reclaimed guns were entombed in the concrete base of the sculpture. Created by Seattle artist Gerard Tsutakawa, the striking piece is over 10 feet tall and 5 feet wide. Jagged sides characterizing chaos and hostility give way to a smooth circular aperture meant to provide viewers with a symbolic view beyond the violence to friendship and understanding.
According to Tsutakawa, nonrepresentational sculptures like the Urban Peace Circle allow the viewer to better develop his or her own interpretations of the social and spiritual themes that underlie his work. When creating this sculpture he concentrated on durability in structure and design "to evoke an ageless quality that endures beyond today into the next millennium."

I love TES games which I play from 1994 (Arena), it is the game which made me fall in love for the RPGs, and still the ones I love the most.
I don't need to play a MMO to understand if it will be a success or a failure (I predicted all the biggest flops, look at my post history), I just need to read about the design to understand the potential of a game, and so far I gathered enough information to confortably say that TESO don't have enough TES elements in it to justify a TES logo on the box.
I am not criticising the design of Zenimax MMO in itself, maybe it is a good MMO, I can see they are trying to make something a bit different from others (not enough though), but I am arguing on the opportunity to name it TES.
If Zenimax don't intend to make a Skyrim or Morrowind Online because it is too hard to implement all the features that make this IP so distinctive and successful, then they should not use the TES name and let someone else develope TES MMO.
Since I love the IP so much, I am trying to avoid an embarrassment to Zenimax and Bethesda.
Would you allow your girfriend to dress as a prostitute at a family meeting?
I wouldn't................get my point?
PS: Do you think that the next single player TES game would have the same success if it would play as linear as Dragon Age for example? I don't think so
TES is about freedom, Dragon Age is linear
So why allow TES Online to play like WOW or SWTOR?
TES Online should be about freedom, WOW is linear
See the parallel?
TES Online has a serious chance to relaunch the MMO industry if it stick with the same elements that made TES so successful in the single player market even though it adopts the completely opposite approach of another leader of the RPG Market like Dragon Age.
TESO should be Skyrim Online (Or Morrowind Online), that's the only way it can be a huge success, any other way, will be a mediocre MMO at best.
That's my point.

Personally, I don't need the whole Skyrim Experience in the MMO, I just need to feel like I am playing an TES, the freedom to choose where I go, the freedom to choose who I support, the freedom to explore as far as the eye can see, Climb the mountains and discovering a secret shrine, encountering Vampires hidden in an cave giving a lecture on how to live among the mortals, discovering small encampments of traders suddenly. The freedom of becoming a Magic wielding , ranger thief assassin who sucks at close combat. Or a Heavy armor wearing, Magic wielding knight.
Risk getting a huge bounty by killing a guard and stealing all its gear, joining thief guild, mercenary guild, mage guild, assassin guild because I can. Surviving my encounters with Daedric lords just by accidentially bumping into them. Having a home in many places, feeling rich and powerful without really being rich and powerful.
There are alot of TES mechanics that can be added that gives you that TES feeling, and many that can removed that could prove game breaking. But with everything that has been described and talked about, they are not even close to 1% of the TES feeling.
Life is a Maze, so make sure you bring your GPS incase you get lost in it.
if it doesnt play and feel like TES then it's not TES. quit while your are ahead Zenimax.

Just read those quotes...and man...they need to hire someone with some PR talent to do these interviews. Everything Matt Firor says about the game keeps pushing me away. I dislike the man more than going to the dentist, but at least Paul Barnett would try to pump you about a game, not just deflate it.
It's like he is just lowering our expectations because they know at this point the game will flop.

I am glad that there are others around these parts that understand the vast difference between the MMO and single player worlds.
Skyrim is a great game despite all the bugs. An MMO with the same or similar bugs would be ravaged by the community and verbaly destroyed on forum boards everywhere.
Gold sellers anyone? Trashy language all over the chat channels?
An online version of The Elder Scrolls is going to be very different even if they completely copied Skyrim into an MMO skin, the experience would be unlike everything people imagine.
Skyrim would look aweful with "MOBS" standing around in groups waiting to be killed...and respawn a moment later.
I know that we all have a picture of Skyrim Online in our heads, but we have not really put deep thought into how it will look, feel, and play as an MMO. The world is huge but cities are not. A few hundred people hanging out in the current city structures would look very crowded and diminish the design impact we have experienced.
My favorite line from the SWTOR guild leader gathering, "Dude from the Bro legacy" running around my story is not what I want in my Skyrim, online or not. With TESO I can live with the players named L33kyP33p33 running and bounceing around spamming chat all day and being online clowns. Let them have it, I might play and enjoy it but at least I will not be deluded into thinking that the game is going to be the same as Skyrim except everyone else will be what I think of as normal.

personaly i thought MO (all buggs aside) was scary close to that TES feeling. of course MO pretty much became "all bugs inside", but if some cluless underwear modle working with his 5 budies in their basement can get that close there is really no excuse for huge studios with a ton of talent, experience and cash.
however, what Zenimax is doing right now is the cheapest, crappiest, half assed way you could possibly go at it. take WoW and slap on a TES skin/lore. morons.
It will not be the same at all in any way shape or fashion. TESO pretty much has to be a different game altogether in my opinion anyway just to give them a fair shot at standing alone. The game is already overshadowed by the franchise and few people are forgiving them for it. Skyrim online would be scrutinized so much as an MMO because we have already played it, we will never forget that. Our judgements are already being passed on a game none of us have even played.
Could a better engine have been used as a template? Probably, but that is another story.

It boggles the mind that the TESO don't get this because Bethesda games lives and die on the gameplay and not their story. People put 100s of hours in their games and some don't even get around to the main story line. Heck I personally have 150 hours in Skyrim and have yet finish the dragon storyline.
Also, in general the TES story is just there is a big bad evil guy out to rule the world/kill everyone that you need to stop. Then there is FO3 who's main story is just TERRIBLE.
Game devs need to get that their games need to be fun first and rich in features, then they can add what ever story and quests they want. If gamers just wanted stories we would read books or watch movies.
I will not play a game with a cash shop ever again. A dev job should be to make the game better not make me pay so it sucks less.

The lore in TES is nice and the stories fit the games for sure, but it's was never the centerpiece for me, freedom was. Take freedom away from TES and you have nothing (for me!).
Now....I love story-driven games don't get me wrong. However I still hold the opinion that story-driven games do not make good MMOs (SWTOR, TSW) but are more suited for the single player/co-op experience.

Its quite strange really, In skyrim if you ask the players, many actually spent hours and hours just doing everything other than the main quest. Personally I am 500+ hours in and haven't finished the main quest line. But thats what is so special about skrim as well as Morrowind, all the TES games have a short main quest, but the world is huge.
Unfortunately TESO is on the path to becoming another normal MMORPG where being level cap is the goal and waiting for End game contents.
In every single TES that I have played, being level cap was never really my goal, it just happen to be something that happenes before I even try the main quest, because I decided to go west instead of East to my main quest line. Or decided to stay at a city just pick pocketing and breaking into houses just to train my thief skills.
When they were brainstorming about developing TESO, they should have focused mainly on getting this experience into an MMO, instead of the whole making WOW like MMO in TES world.

I agree. The overall sentiment from Skyrim fans seems to be fear of pulling back the blanket of immersion, which is ineveitable once you drop 2,500 other people into your game.
Though we don't really know how the mechanics work at this point, we can assume the goal is to either spread those people out as much as possible using traditional mmo mechanics (instances, channels, servers, etc), or possibly allow the creation of smaller games in which you can play with a handful of friends (something of a co-op, perhaps D3 could be a good exmple here).
Being the game is asking for a sub, I am more inclined to believe the first possibility. Although, historically speaking, I think most TES fans would be quite content with LAN or multi-player co-op options. It's not like Bethesda hasn't heard this from fans for the past ten years. In fact, we were told, during the making of Skyrim, that there will be no multiplayer because it "wouldn't work" with their vision. Even though the TES series has a fantasticly large fanbase, the love for the series exists despite the developers, not because of it.
Given the past history and reluctance to form any sort of multiplayer component to TES, my inclination is that this "online RPG" is very much experimental (good or bad) and will lead to an extremely watered-down SRPG experience. We have nothing else, at least from Bethesda, to base our opinions on. If at least a baby-step had been made in the past to offer SOME kind of multiplayer in a TES game, I might actually be excited for this game.

What I see here are a bunch of people afraid of change. People love TES games, and a lot of us want to play in the TES universe with others. I can understand that a lot of you don't like other people running around in your TES experience. If that is the case, this game is probably not for you. Others want to do that. We want to adventure in TES with our friends. We want to make a name for ourselves by fighting real people in combat, not just npcs with poor AI. Us gamers and lovers of the TES deserve that, so let's give Bethesda and Zenimax somewhat of a sliver of a chance.
Can we be a little bit less like chicken littles, please? Can we stop the wailing and gnashing of teeth until we get a little bit more information about the game? If the game turns out to be bad, then it turns out to be bad, but I am seeing way too much speculation bordering on outright ignorance and amateurishness.

Once again. I have no issue with allowing Zenimax their shot at releasing the game and further, I will reserve all of my judgments until I have actually played it before drawing any conclusions.
I am just not one of the supporters of "It should be Skyrim Online, because that is what we have been imagining for so long" people.
I have played Skyrim and I enjoy the game. I have that experience set into my mind and love it for what it is. I can return there anytime I choose. I want TESO to be different. I think it needs to be different in order to stand on its own.
For me the sky is not falling. I want the same things as the poster I quoted wants. I want to fight other players and be in that world when I play. I will accept the other players the same way I do in every other MMO I play as being part of the world. In my mind in a literal sense never shall Skyrim and TESO mix. They will be parallels of the same universe to me and I will treat them separately rather than try to assemble them into a complete Elder Scrolls package.

Sucks that in this day and age one has to be borderline nervous if a tried and true video game frachise's next game will be good or not. Co-op Elder Scrolls game ftw.

EPA Integrated Science Assessments: Helping Fight Air Pollution
EPA's Integrated Science Assessments deliver the science to support the Clean Air Act, one of the most beneficial federal programs in the nation.
The average American breathes more than 11,000 liters of air—enough to fill a tanker truck—every day. Understanding this, it's easy to see why air pollution is of such concern. Forty years ago, air pollution was so prevalent in some cities that you may have complained of burning eyes from ozone pollution, or the air was so visibly polluted that you couldn't see across the city.
Back then, Americans were exposed daily to potentially dangerous amounts of ground-level ozone and other pollutants, symptoms of which often included airway irritation and increased susceptibility to illnesses such as asthma and bronchitis.
Today, large segments of the population are breathing cleaner, healthier air—a direct result of the Clean Air Act and the scientific framework put in place to guide actions taken to protect human health, the Act's primary goal. That framework is built around EPA's National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and the Integrated Science Assessments (ISAs) that deliver the science supporting those standards.
The landmark Clean Air Act (CAA), enacted by Congress in 1970, was one of the federal Government's first efforts at regulating air quality in order to protect human health and the environment. Congress created the EPA soon afterward, in part to implement the new law.
Last amended in 1990, the CAA requires EPA to develop NAAQS for six criteria pollutants: carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide. The standards set permissible limits for each pollutant that must be met in order to protect public health—including the health of sensitive groups such as asthmatics, children, and aging adults—as well as public welfare, including protection against damage to animals, crops, and buildings.
During the first 20 years of the Clean Air Act, health benefits increased steadily (PDF) (3 pp, 26K, About PDF) from 1970 to 1990. In the year 1990, clean air programs prevented: 205,000 premature deaths; 672,000 cases of chronic bronchitis; 21,000 cases of heart disease; 843,000 asthma attacks; 189,000 cardiovascular hospitalizations; 10.4 million lost I.Q. points in children from lead reductions; and 18 million child respiratory illnesses.
It is because of these health improvements that the ISAs for each criteria pollutant and the NAAQS they support are essential. Children, aging adults, and people with certain diseases are particularly at risk for pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments as a result of long-term air pollution exposure.
As required by the CAA, EPA conducts periodic reviews of the six criteria air pollutants and develops ISAs that summarize the science related to the health and ecological effects caused by the pollutants. To achieve this, EPA scientists conduct a comprehensive review of the policy-relevant scientific literature published since the last review, ensuring that each ISA is based on the latest scientific information.
After the best available science has been evaluated and synthesized, each ISA is vetted through a rigorous peer review process, including evaluation by the independent Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC). Each assessment is also made available for a public comment period. The end result is rigorous, science-based assessments to guide the development of NAAQS for each criteria pollutant.
"We at the American Lung Association rely on the EPA's Integrated Science Assessments for the most thorough review of the available research on the criteria pollutants," says Janice Nolen, Assistant Vice President of National Policy and Advocacy at the American Lung Association . Ellen Porter of the National Park Services' Air Resources Division adds, "ISA data on human and ecosystem impacts are used to establish benchmarks to rate air quality conditions in parks as either good, moderate, or of significant concern. These condition assessments are used to help identify national parks most at risk from air pollution."
Thanks to the ISAs and NAAQS, the Clean Air Act has made significant and far-reaching impacts on the health and well being of the American public, including longer life expectancies , healthier communities, and more sustainable ecosystems.

I'm going to help Hillary Clinton. The poor gal has gotten herself in a mess.
There is a solution to this. She is going to make a speech at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She is going to be paid $225,000 for making this speech. Now there are people saying that because of this lucrative speaking engagement that she is out of touch with everyday voters.
Don't worry about a thing. I could go to Las Vegas and make the speech for her. Don't think that this it some idle threat either. I'm going to brag a little. I won the humorous speech contest for the state of South Carolina in 2001 and 2005. I've won lots of other speech contests with Toastmasters International. I keep a log of my speeches and I have presented to 1,100 audiences since 1987. I've been paid up to $1,000 for doing a speech. This could solve her problem of getting all that money.
I could just charge $1,000 and airfare for giving the speech. That would really cut down on lots of logistic problems for the university. Hillary has to travel with all her secret service people and others. I could save on airfare and car expense. I would bring my wife but I would pay her airfare. Problem solved.
I grew up in Greeleyville. People have told me that I'm just a country boy. My reply is that I never fed chickens, milked cows, or slopped hogs before I went to school. Trying to out poor a poor gal is not in my nature. Hillary is considered a harridan. That's an angry, unpleasant woman. I won't be accused of that. I've never considered myself dead broke either. I have felt like I was but I've never been broke. In fact, all my working life, I've tried to save and increase my net worth. Imagine the hardships at the governor's mansion in Little Rock, Arkansas. Hillary gets up early to go hog hunting. She stalks those razorbacks and brings home a 200-pound hog for the fundraising barbecue.
Imagine how hard it was to move out of the White House "dead broke" and buy a five-bedroom house so she could run for senate in New York State. That must have been terrible. Imagine getting up early to leave the house to go to the capital. Bill is staying in bed. Hillary jumps in the limo and Bill is running after her with her brown bag lunch that she forgot. I know I can't top that poor gal tale. If I do this speech for her it will help all the scrutiny that is on her.
She doesn't get all that money and nobody cares that I don't have a $200 million net worth. If I had that kind of money you might not see much of me. I would probably move to a different district, buy a big house and run for town council.
I'm finding it difficult to get in touch with the university. I guess they really don't want me to come speak. I have written some books also. I could throw in a free copy for all the attendees. That would be an even better deal.
The students are saying she should give her speaking fee as a scholarship for students. She could give 225 $1,000 scholarships. That would help and prove that she was interested in the education of America's Youth. How good would that be?
The best thing for me would be giving the speech and having a Vegas vacation. She could claim that she is still poor and in touch with the people. It's too bad that other problems with the country couldn't be solved this easily. If they would give me a chance I could do speeches for Bill also.
The Clintons could spend some time together and maybe get started on that house-remodeling project. The house that bought in New York was a fixer upper.
