Two people in YOUR guild that doesn't play doesn't mean you have the ONLY Guild in GW2, apart that alot of people are no longer playing , and acounting from tons and tons of guilds , even on this site, that members are saying that hardly anyone is on anymore does kinda push the " Exodus" theory to liable, while thats good that there's only two people in your entire guild that no longer plays means that some people will find even the most boring games fun ! Just joking!

It already happened a month after release. Right now events are minimizing it though as people can come back for a day or two a month. ANet is trying to address this with asceended gear, but it's causing many people who stayed to get annoyed.

Maybe you need to get off of your high horse and except that many people don't have your similar views , or mine for that matter.
Almost all the GW2 posts here, you have made it clear that you are a steadfast defender of the game ( which is a nicer way of saying " Fanboi"), while I applaud you , alot of people think other wise, no need to bash people based on their views, this is what they are seeing and I agree with them, and the reason behind the " Exodus" ? Because it's the same old same old tried and true mmorpg formula that was just copy and pasted so many times, does it make the game bad? No , but it lacks staying power, and with the dynamic events, hell Rift does a better job. Yet again, these are MY opinions and views, but if you feel the further need to bash or mock me again, go right ahead, because I'll just shoot back again with " My views , my opinions ".

Glad to see that some people leave. We will maybe have a decent community filled with people who really love the game for what it is. Not that community filled with MMO hoppers and people who just like to compain all the time instead of learning to play the game and be good at it.

Cant say I notice any less people, in fact it looks like more in some places than anytime before besides the first 2 weeks.
But some middle ranged zones have few players in them, that is however the cases with most games a few months after launch.
A mass exodus is always possible but it havnt started yet, I never seen so many players in the game as it was this sunday, and that includes the first week. While the weekends event were rather weak before the final event was epic, my thief werent in the same spot a second for 2 hours and 20 mins, my fingers still hurt.
People have talked about the game being as empty as TOR here the last 2 months but I frankly cant see it on my server at least (Seafarers rest). Then again, Far Shiverpeaks must have taken a turn for the worst, we are up against them right now and totally beats them, something impossible just after launch.
My guild is actually growing slowly, and we are basically just my friends and their friends. Some people doesnt play as many hours as they used to the first month, others actually play more.
I myself play as much as ever, but I been playing more PvP now than I did the first while. I still play mostly PvE and are leveling up 2 alts at the time while saving gold for my cultural armor and doing some lower level zones at times with my main for 100% completion. My guild have started a bit on the new dungeon as well but we are trying to find a good day to play it a whole day, some of the people usually works night.
I dont think there will be a mass exodus at all, but more people will drop in and out. I played GW on and off for more than 5 years and I assume I will take breaks myself for a month or 2 eventually. I dont see it happening for a while though, my guess is that I stay away from computers altogether this summer and spend a month up north staying at some friends.
No MMO near release seems very interesting to me anyways, even if I will check out NWN, I think it will be until WoDO and Class 4 releases that I will truly try something new. Well, Imight check out AA too. But GW2 is the most fun I had in a MMO for many years, at least 10.

Someone had posted a thread asking where people were planning to go after quitting GW2 over the new patch.
Some of them listed FPS games. Many others listed other MMO's that have a gear grind. That makes me question the validity of the gear grind argument.
Personally I plan on playing GW2 until TES Online comes out. And then I will split my time between the two games.

"Shutting down threads sense 2004"
Can't beleive this thread has grown the way it has, but I just wanted to clerify for some why myself and a minority are jumping ship to due to this new implimentation.
Orange gear (exotics) where pretty much the end gear. This gear is realtivily easy to get or buy on the open market and was the end gear of guild wars2.
Legendary gear - was never really gear, they should have said "legendary skins" what people don't understand is legendary gear never had better stats, it was just a skin. Yes, that's it, all the grind for the look. Now the dev (one is saying it) is acting as legendary had higher stats in her statements , making issue of "well we will just raise the current stats to fit the items tiers better" and all wording basicly in the idea legendaries had a unique higher stats to them from the begaining , which of course, they never did.
So basicly our old progression which was descent to reach as a casual player in a few months was...
Exotics / Legendary Skins (same stats of exotics)
Is now...
Legendary (with new stats to be added)
So really the issue is, the grind it will take to reach these end items are crazy to begin with, but as mentioned by others and the linked thread, we where never suppose to have this grind it was the foundational ground work given by the devs in many postings, reviews and more on how guild wars 2 would break that mold.
While this is now not true, this is our issue. It is again everyones own choice to make, but don't think they didn't add any progression grind to the game. They just made it x10 worse. If you know what it takes to make a legendary you would agree.
However, it's up to you to decide if it matters to you or not. For me, it defintiily does, this will in the end effect WvWvW in a large way and I play that part of the game more then any other part. So for me there is no choice. Alas is this a mass exodus as I thought it might have been?
Won't really ever know till later and it was (when I posted this) at the time, a question of "did they really just do this ? Something they said many times over they would never do?" Actually it was more of a shock to me then anything, as I do feel a bit missled on what I bought.

I bought the game for the WvW. I found it simply awful(micro size maps ,24/7 zergs,points awarded on timers like some dumb kidde pvp game). I have no motivation to pve(which is pretty good) since I know when I level to 80 the WvW mess that awaits.
I play to pass the time only.....and wait for ESO.

Def not seeing an exodus over Ascended items. Sure theres alot of whining and complaints, but for every 20 people that say they are quitting because of it, only maybe 1 of them actually does quit. People just like to be heard, its a cry for attention, but they dont have any real desire to actually leave.
Every server still is full at peak times, and even when i play lower level alts, the zones are still populated with other players, even if they are just playing alts as well. WvW is alive and well, and now that the transfers arent allowed every day, the servers have even started to stabilize, and theres hardly any "bandwagoners".
If anything i think the game is in a stronger place than it ever was. The community is really starting to develope, and with new paths for progression people are finding more and more to do at level cap. It only makes the game better, and theres room for them to add more Ascended items (currently theres only 2), and even more Legendary items. With monthly content being added, this game is only going to grow. And lucky for those players that do quit, they can come back and play the new content (because most will regardless of what they say in forums)

I have been around long enough to know a lost cause when I see it. If you reward bad decisions they will keep making it and ignore the concerns of the player as long as they keep playing they will just offer the carrot of future improvements.

I'm a player not a gamer.
tried to boot up this game again today... made it to level 50 somehow.. tonite i made it to 53
I seriously had a miserable time, many of the storyline quests I did tonite.. so stupid... they're attack, go save the warden who is pinned down.. so you run odwn there.. its an undless spawn spot, that has nothing to do about fighting, in fact you can die and die and die and die and die and lose all armor and die and die and die but just run there and press F. the quest goal is to rez the warden.. or whatever.. lol, it was so phoney, i start to notice how phoney the combat is, like so phoney like the new FPS call of duty games, where you seriously dont even have to fire except at cut scenes. you idle long enough you get thru the quests..
Heck i think i was getting quest rewards for plaecs i was not even involved in.. gold medal.. WTF?!?!
i think they even scale the combat based solely on your stats and has nothing to do with level or stat of mob.. every fight takes the same amount of effort to kill, no away around it.... move 100 feet same thing
rinse repeat... slash my fooking throat already please.. boredom
all i do is walk around pointing out how bad this is and how bad that is.. and how people can even boot this game up after a month..... amazing to me
Game does not reward player whatsoever

The story quests are a bit annoying and silly, more than anything. Start with an army, fight, fight some more, the army dies, you die, you res then beat down the forces some more. Die again, beat them down a little more, Die again .. over and over, until all the enemy forces are vanquished, and you are the savior! Your whole army was dead most of the fight, but miraculously, they are now alive, upon your victory. Auto-res FTW.....
What a sense of accomplishment!

You want to revert to the old blissful state, try to talk to her/him, try to convince not to that (whatever it is) and are then sad that all your talk had no effect at all. People are getting loud because they care so much about this game and don't want it to change so much. Calling it whining would not do it any justice, calling it complaining would. Complaining is one way to show you don't like something and want to change it for the better. The other way is probably more effective and called speak with your wallet. People don't always want to do the last immediately and hope for a change by complaining. Don't disregard people with valid reasons.

Server status indicates that Guild Wars 2 still has a very healthy population despite being out for quite some time. I have no worries whatsoever. However, then again, the tinfoil hat army may suggest that the server status indicators are being manipulated, but that just makes me laugh :D.

MEANT TO BE and its sequel HOLDING ON are now both available in paperback! You can purchase copies at most major online book retailers.
Amazon Barnes & Noble Turquoise Morning Press
"The characters are charismatic, their fears and trust issues are palpable, the lust is like molten lava…hot and dangerous, and the love is so darn endearing that it will make you sigh with pleasure." ~BlackRavens Reviews 5 stars; Recommended Read
"I don't know if there is a 'talented writers gene' that sets some apart from others; but if there is, then Karen Stivali has it. If you want to read a book that will make you grin, laugh, love, forgive, understand, and lust, then I highly recommend Holding On." ~Literati Literature Lovers 5 or 5 stars
I love when I read a sequel and like it as much as the first one. I couldn't have asked for a better story for Marienne and Daniel to show what it's like after the Happily Ever After ending at the end of Meant to Be. The beauty of this story is the way the author develops her characters and their relationships and gives you a true sense of how people would react and interact. Karen Stivali is a superb writer in contemporary romance." ~Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews 5 of 5 stars; A True Gem
"Sigh. That's what I always feel like doing after reading one of Miz Stivali's novels. I just want to sit here, with my hand over my heart, and sigh. And smile. Because there is something so innately sweet and heartfelt about her characters and their love. I loved Marienne and Daniel in Meant to Be and I think I may love them even more in Holding On." ~Romantic Book Affairs

Black vs white: Which new iPad should you choose?
Picking between one of two color options, black or white, for the new iPad might seem trivial to some or simply a matter of personal taste, but it's a question we get asked a lot. Once you've decided to get a new iPad, settled on your storage capacity, and chosen between AT&T and Verizon if you're going 4G LTE, color is what's left. While the black and white iPads are otherwise identical in terms of size and weight, storage capacities and carriers, there are a few points to consider.
Note: Unlike the black and white iPhones, iPads all have the same aluminum back plate so it's really only the front bezel border that changes.
Is white more distracting?
Imagine if your TV set had a white bezel instead of black, would that distract you from the show or movie you were watching? The game you were playing? If the goal of the device is to get out of your way so you can become totally immersed in the content, black has traditionally been a much safer color choice for manufacturers to go with.
Many people feel the same way about the iPad. Black disappears. Even if the content is white (like an ebook or web page), the environment around us usually isn't. So black melts out of the way and once the screen lights up it's all but forgotten.
The same can happen with a white bezel, but it depends more on the individual. White is definitely more noticeable than black. For some that means it's a lot more distracting and actually takes away from the viewing experience. For others, it's enjoyable, frames the viewing, and provides a two-tone look that's more fashionable than black.
I've had both a black and a white iPads and have never been distracted nor irked by either one. If white catches your eye a little too much, however, you might want to stick with black.
Will white discolor?
Rumor has it Apple delayed the launch of the white iPhone 4 in order to improve the UV protection and prevent discoloration. That's just a rumor, however, and white iPads have shipped day and date with black iPads since they were introduced in March 2011. That also means white iPads have been on the market for almost a year now, and there haven't been any widespread accounts of discoloration. My own white iPad 2, bought in March 2011, still looks as crisp and clean as the day I unboxed it.
In 5 years time some more obvious aging issues may present themselves, but 5 years is an eternity in consumer electronics. If it concerns you, stick with black.
On the other hand, black shows fingerprints and smudges more dramatically and don't disappear when the screen is lit up, so if those annoy you, white is a better choice.
Does white look better?
Some people just love the look of a white device, whether it's an iPad, an iPhone, a BlackBerry, an Android, or whatever. They sometimes get shipped later or come in more limited quantities so there's an air of exclusivity about them.
That's not the case with iPads.
White tends to stand out more and can be more obvious with brightly colored cases. Is that something that appeals to you? Or do you want the content and the accessories to be the star?
If you like the idea of a blank canvas, stick to black.
So which color should you get?
At the end of the day, the only real answer is get the color you like better. Everything else is manufactured anxiety at this point. Just close your eyes, picture your iPad in your hand and carefully look at what color you're picturing.
Then buy that.
Any questions?
If you've already chosen, let us know which one you went with and why. If you need extra help or want extra opinions deciding whether you should get, black or white, don't hesitate to ask.

Black vs white: Which new iPad should you choose?
I chose white with a blue smart cover but I'm taking it back [hopefully I can return it to the store] to replace with a different color. Buyers remorse set in immediately after hitting "purchase". lol.
Man, it's a tough choice. I love black, but hate fingerprint and palm smudges on the bezel (I find myself constantly wiping the screen, about 3-5 times a day). I don't particularly like white, but, from what i've seen, smudges don't stand out as much.
I guess I'm tired of constantly wiping down the screen, and just would like to see if white is a better fit.
Chose black , it isn't so hard to wipe off the smudges I have a black iPad and all I do is wipe it off with my sleeve or a towel when Im done using it and it's great
I agree that I was more distracted by what was going on around me with black and felt more attention is drawn to the content on a white iPad.
And I had always hated Apple's cutesy colors and white iPods. But the iPad is different —I do watch vids, but usually I am reading. And usually I am reading websites with white backgrounds or books or PDFs with white backgrounds. The white iPad seems to make the iPad content expand into my world rather than appear limited by a black and smudged one-inch thick bezel.
What I don't like is the attention that I get for having a white iPad. No one cares about black ones. But suddenly people think they know me better and want to talk and touch my white iPad.
I ordered one of each, a black one for myself, and a white one for my mom.
I pre-ordered white. I already have the black. My black iPhone and while iPhone both look great. So I'm sure the white iPad will look awesome too.
I have had 3 black iPhones and a black iPad. I ordered a white iPad yesterday. I had been thinking about it for a long time and decided that it was time for a change. If the next iPhone is available in white from the get go, I'll get white then too.
I used to direct in the professional theatre, and I formed a surprising opinion about how a proscenium arch should be painted. (That's the arch in front of the curtain, which is the visual equivalent of the iPad's bezel border.) At first I thought the proscenium and the theatre walls near it should be as dark as possible to increase the "magic" and audience focus on what was going on onstage. Then I directed on a stage with the gaudiest, shiniest proscenium you could possible imagine--and the magic worked better than in a "black box" theatre! I don't have an explanation for this based on cognitive science (my current field). But it might be that the brain works harder to cancel a brighter border, resulting in greater concentration on what's inside. If that's true, then the white iPad bezel should really be more effective than the black.
Really slow news day, huh?
HOW iS THIS NEWS?
I find these kinds of articles an interesting read. The writers are getting into the meat & potatoes of daily use. I found it a refreshing change after reading several other Apple blog sites. 3 or 4 of them are more or less parroting each other's content. iMore is MORE. I like it :) Keep up the good work!
The white bezel has a black border around the screen, giving it a 3D look. Whereas the black bezel looks like it runs into the picture more. So I picked the white.
Wow - who knew anyone put this much thought into this decision. . . and I'm a graphic designer. But white it is for me. I have no doubts or worries that regarding the distraction level of a white border. One of my favorite sayings is, "Seeing is believing but the eye is easily fooled." As humans, we tend to adjust to what we see often and our eyes create allowances for all types of things. I love my white iPhone and I love my white iPad, even though it's sitting in a holding pattern in a UPS warehouse in Kentucky right now.
Pre-ordered white, bought white iPad 2 in nov after freak ecoast oct snowstorm left without power for 8 days, love the device, thought white looked cleaner, though I bought iPhone 4 in black and like that for phone. I think your eye does get used to either color though the point about the black showing smears makes sense, my new Sony bravi tvs have the shiny black bezel which does need to be constantly wiped, would prefer matte finish, anyway in any color the iPad is the best thing since sliced bread, I can't wait for mine to be sprung and delivered tomorrow ( I hope) Thanks Apple!!!!
I think for the size of the iPad, white does look nice. It will bright the contents and make relax and easy for your brian. When it comes to the size of big TV, white will be distracting. It just like one of fashion rules: white doesn't look good on a big guy. A small guy looks smaller with black on.
I choose white one for a number of reasons:
- White is used by apple to promote its ipad 2 and of course the new ipad. See the official website. Traditionally, apple sells its product in the white and neat style.
- I find white less distracting when the background of content is white, e.g. youtube, fb, pdf...etc.
- Too many tablets, particularly the inferior, use black. Seems white stands out a little bit.
- White ipad fits my furniture at home which are mostly in wood or white colour.
I got the white 64 gb wifi Ipad one launch day. It was the only one left at the store I had a discount at. I have had it for about a week now and I have been getting use to it. I am thinking about taking it back; however, I don't know when they will be in stock with a black 64 gig. Also, they may not even return it, color really is not an excuse to take back a $700 device. I think I might be happier with a black though. The bezel of both my macbook and iphone are black, so it's just a little bit harder to adjust with the clash.
If this is an issue than I am quite in the middle cos i bought a black one todAy n realizes that i didn't like the white ipad 2 but its not the middle same with the 3 but the remorse issue d ve been if i d have white. its my first one so black is less remorsy and frankly black is colorless as the black looks like a macbook pro n white like macbook
I ended up going with the White iPad. I had some remorse at first but really began to like the white border, especially while surfing the web. In addition, I realized that I now have the best of both worlds since I just purchased a Griffin Survivor iPad case. The case completely blocks out the white borders if I feel like taking a break from white. When I want to show off the white borders, I can remove the iPad from the case fairly quickly. In agreement with previous posts, the white borders are less likely to show off fingerprints and smudges and I have not been experiencing any of the heating issues that have been observed with black iPads.
Ive never had a white device. I think the white looks fancy & new. My friends and family have tried changing my standpoint but hopefully I resist the urge to get a black one. ( I don't want to see smudges) And if i'm watching a movie at night. I wouldn'treally notice the white Bezel because my room would be very dark. And I want a blue smart cover and I think it looks better on a white iPad. I still have to continue saving for it though because i'm 16.
I am really sorry plz try in a little while plz help me what shud I do.......:(((((
Does that mean I need to style the website three times, or can I get away with styling it once, and modifying only the pieces that need modifying for the different sizes?
I do not even know the way I ended up here, however I assumed this post was good. I don't recognise who you might be however definitely you are going to a well-known blogger if you aren't already. Cheers!
I personally love MobilePress than Wp Touch because it is very easy to edit template files in MobilePress... By default mobilepress comes with simple template which loads fast in mobile phones...
I think that the white border being a distraction is more or less a valid point, but the oc in me would be more distracted with the sight of smudges or dust, being more obvious on a black background. Well, that's just me. I'm going to get a white one this time.
i like the white than bleck because it look like more pretty and interesting. Anyway it very simple in cambodia.
Get the white and put tin a black case. Best of both worlds.
I have the white one , black is so common! :)
Well I have a black iPad I got it 2weeks ago i mean,about the smudges , yes that's true but it's not something you can't handle you just simply get your sleeve or a towel and wipe it off, when your done using it.so if ur thinking of black I would recommend that. I mean white is pretty and people have been telling me to get black because white gets dirty ( I know it's not true) so I just got black. If you have any questions on how it's going with my iPad please search me up on face book my name is Evelyn Valladares Thank you
I, personally, would go with white.
1. It is newer. only a 1 1/2 years old.
2. It is different now. 2 years ago when I heard apple, I thought about a black macbook pro, a black iPod, a black iPhone, a apple TV or aluminum and only one, lonely, white MacBook. I liked the macbook a lot more because it looked cleaner(except the material it was made out of.)
and coming from a clean household and family, it looks cleaner. and it is.
It also catches the eye of some people who see it. and it is the ONLY popular tablet that is white so it's different from Apple itself and Android tablets too. But fashionable. lol
Of course Black one. Looks much more professional.
I don't know but BLACK doesn't make it an " APPLE iPAD. "
I was honestly leaning towards the white ipad throughout this whole article. However, I did exactly as Rene suggested and I closed my eyes, and imagined myself with both a white iPad and a black one. Result? I could only imagine myself content with a black one haha. Thanks Rene, now I know which to buy this Friday :)
The Chargers On All These Devices (Inc Computers) Are Always White For A Reason! White Is Apples Colour & The First Gen IPods Were Always In White. The Iconic White Headphones Etc,Etc. White Is Apple, Black Is So Every Other Manufacturer. Most Copied Apple By Releasing Black & White Options In Their Devices, However Pre Apple Products Like The IPod, Iphone & Ipad I Never Saw Any White Devices.

The Telepathy One enters the wearable computing race, with an onboard camera, heads-up display, and communications functionality that puts Google Glass squarely in the crosshairs.
Tonight in Manhattan a handful of journalists were treated to a hands on demo of the Telepathy One, an infant concept in wearable tech that may or may not prove to be significantly different from Google Glass.

Wednesday, April 9, 2014
In March, a Town Hall-style meting was organized at the depot building at Doty Park so the public could get some face-time with Mayor Bill Collins and ask questions about the goings-on in the community.
A similar meeting was put together April 2, this time with Dorchester School District Two Superintendent Joe Pye, who was scheduled to spend an hour answering similar types of questions the public had for the school district. Pye was joined on the panel by Louis Smith, founder of the Community Resource Center, and Janie Colleton, office manager at the Center.
While many residents posed questions for the superintendent to answer, attendees also took it as an opportunity to express a variety of concerns they have for the district.
A rule was established prior to the start of the meeting: people were not allowed to discuss issues with a specific student, similar to the rule that exists during the public comments session of DD2s board meetings.
The first person to address Pye was Dorchester County resident Alvenia Smalls who was speaking on behalf of her daughter, who was also at the meeting. Smalls questioned Pye on students with disabilities at Summervilles Adult Learning Center.
Smalls let the crowd know that in January 2013 she filed a complaint with the South Carolina Department of Education alleging that DD2 violated the rights of her daughter, who has been a student with a health impairment and at one point attended the Adult Learning Center, rights that were afforded to her as a student under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the applicable federal and State Board of Education (SBE) regulations and SCDE policies and procedures, by failing to provide clear and appropriate measurable post-secondary goals that are annually updated and based upon age-appropriate transition assessments. Smalls said that her daughter is not currently a DD2 student.
Smalls informed attendees that she plans to follow up with a civil lawsuit. She had several questions for Pye regarding students with disabilities, such as: What goals do you have for the Adult Education Centers students with disabilities? What is the percentage of high school students with disabilities in our adult education program? What type of programs are in place for students with disabilities after high school?
They (students with disabilities) are treated like all the students that we deal with, Pye said. We are in full compliance with any federal regulation. I dont know of anything in our district that we are not in compliance with.
Summerville resident Louis Fowler asked the superintendent about the reasoning behind the school district letting go of M.B. Kahn, the contractor who had been in charge of the districts building project.
Pye explained that M.B. Kahn organized the pricing for the districts building project, and had come up with a reasonable price.
However, as it turns out, cost prices ended up being different than what had been perceived, to the point where it appeared prices were going $2 to 3 million over budget.
Our relationship with M.B. Kahn is fine, they didnt do anything wrong, Pye said. Its just we dont have that kind of money.
There was also a question about the new aquatic center, which still has not received a site location. Pye said while the pool situation is not at the top of the districts priority list, the district is not married to any venue or entity yet for a pool location such as the YMCA.
We are open to whatever the district thinks is in the best interest of the district, he said.
There were many concerns over the school district implementing Common Core Standards. Worried parents informed the superintendent that some of their own children were already struggling with homework assignments even the parents themselves are struggling with helping kids with their homework because they themselves cannot answer the questions.
Assistant Superintendent Sean Alford was invited to explain more about Common Core Standards.
Common Core is a set of learning expectations that were adopted and ratified by the South Carolina State Board of Education that was done in July 2010, Alford said. What it is, is a common set of learning expectations in the area of English/Language Arts and mathematics.
Alford went on to explain that the state asked DD2 to prepare a written statement on its stance on Common Core Standards. With that the district organized a survey for district employees to express their beliefs, and that survey determined that a majority (65 percent) of survey responders felt the district needs a set of expectations.
As far as our district weve been implementing Common Core Standards for the past two years, Alford said, adding teachers appear to support it because Common Core Standards requires more rigorous work and makes students think at a higher level. For teachers who answered that they did not know how they felt on the matter it is possible those teachers do not teach English/Language Arts or Math.
It really only addresses two subject areas, he said. They may not have had the training or exposure the other teachers had, so we felt really good.
Pye himself said he is grateful that the district has the opportunity to test Common Core.
How cruel would it be if we didnt do anything if they came out in the spring and said, Starting in fall we do Common Core? he said. At least we have had two years to massage it.
Resident Tasha Curry said her family moved to the area in 2012 from Texas. Curry said Common Core has been really tough on her kids, saying her daughter once answered a problem correctly on her homework but her statement for the answer was not good enough and therefore she did not get full credit.
I think as a parent Ive seen more parents here who are saying, Im pulling my kids out of the public school system for homeschooling, she said.
Despite some heated discussions Pye felt the meeting went well, saying he took it as an opportunity to find out general concerns and learn about real issues within the district.
Overall I thought it was a very positive experience, he said. I do try to listen.

Hello, I am so glad that I found this forum. I had by baby girl in January at 33 weeks due to HELLP. I had problems with my feet swelling starting around 30 weeks. I then gained ~8 lbs between 31-33 weeks, but when I went in for my 33 week appointment on a Tuesday there was no protein in my urine and my bp was normal (120/70). That Thursday night I started having back pains and nausea. I wasn't too concerned since everything was normal on Tuesday. I called the Dr Friday morning, when the back pain was becoming unbearable, and they had me come in to triage. When I got to the hospital my blood pressure kept climbing, my labs showed my platelets were dropping (I think ~74k) and they told me I'd have to have to deliver right away due to HELLP. Within 3 hours of getting to the hospital my daughter was born via emergency c-section. I was on mag sulfate for 24 hours after her birth, my platelet count continued to drop until the next day before climbing again. I spent 5 days in the hospital and left without needing any bp meds. Five months later I'm feeling pretty good. My daughter spent 21 days in the NICU learning how to eat and gaining weight. Thankfully, she never had to be on oxygen or had other complications. She is doing wonderfully now and is a little chunky monkey:)
The one thing about the whole HELLP experience that bothers me more than anything is my milk supply was awful. I started pumping in the recovery room and after getting a little colostrum with the first pump I got basically nothing for 5 days. I then started getting maybe 5 cc each pump and it increased a little in the coming weeks, but the most I produced in a single day was ~6oz. I tried all the suggestions for increasing milk supply including domperidone. In the end I kept at it for 4 months before stopping. I kind of felt like if I could give her breastmilk it might make for her being born too early. The doctors and lactation consultants all attribute it to being so sick. I feel so cheated, I got a crummy birth experience and then I had to deal with milk supply issues. I know in the grand scheme of things a very low milk supply is pretty minor considering all my daughter and I have been through, but it still makes me so mad its like my body just completely gave up on my daughter.
So I guess my question is has anyone else had such low milk supply due to HELLP/preeclampsia? and did you have better luck with milk supply in a subsequent pregnancy (with or without HELLP/preeclampsia)?

Moscowitz, thanks for the note about Goldens. I know there are a lot of greats! My pup is out of FC AFC CFC CAFC OTCH TNT's Stanley Steamer. Her maternal grandsire is FC AFC CFC CAFC OTCH TNT's Explosion. And so far she seems like a chip off the ole block. But we'll see.
Here's my question prefaced with a statement: I posted this thread to show newbies and amateurs like myself that it's possible to be successful finishing Quals even with your first trial dog, even if you're competing against pros. And even if you don't use compulsion/force. Why would anyone see this as a negative? or be threatened by it?
Thank so much for your comments Judy Chute. It means a lot coming from you! And thanks to Erin and the rest for the good comments!! This is a positive thing no matter how a person decides to train.
Claimsj - not sure it's ego getting in the way when you are training your dog to maximize his/her enjoyment of the sport and training. It is his journey to train this way and really enjoy his dog. If it was ego, he would be more concerned about a title and not care how he got it.
To each his/her own.
I would not be encouraged by a person with a 5 year old dog, who had only obtained a JAM, regardless of methodology.
Competition does not build character - It reveals it.
Home of:
FC/AFC Freeridin Wowie Zowie (2003 NARC Finalist)
FC/AFC Sky Hy Husker Power
FC/AFC Freeridin Smooth Operator
FC/AFC Freeridin Vampire Slayer (2007 NARC Finalist)
AFC Freeridin Maserati (Double Header Winner)
Thats very impressive!
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.
Looks like, counting Cape Fear...4 JAMS and 2 Reserve JAMs. All but one JAM earned this season, 2012.

I was encouraged to see that he had trained a dog by himself and did at least get acknowledgement at the trial, but in the same respect a JAM will not get you a point. People run field trials to title their dogs paying upwards of at least $200 a weekend when you figure in fuel, time and entry fees. If you want to just do it because you enjoy running your dog then you can do hunt tests where they go against a standard.
I am not a field trialer but I completely understand where Ted is coming from paying $1000 this trial season and getting nothing other than a nod is not very encouraging.

Some, ok, a lot of the 100% pos camp do think you are devil incarnate. They also think hunting and killing birds and owning guns is the devil's work, too.
I don't feel that way and Lindsay has said he doesn't feel that way. I am a bird hunter and own guns and I have friends who use the ecollar and force methods whom I respect. So does Lindsay, according to what he has written.
If I or Lindsay felt the way you portray in your post, I don't think either of us would be Lardy disciples.
But, yes, I guess if there are a few or a lot of positive only people ranting negative things about collar users, that would cause a defensive stance.

Roy Nelson believes impressive UFC 159 win over Kongo could lead to title shot | News
Know that classic MMA fighter adage of "Whoever the UFC puts in front of me"?
Yeah, well not Roy Nelson. Not Roy Nelson at all.
"That's not me," the UFC heavyweight on Thursday told MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps) at a UFC 159 media day at Madison Square Garden in New York. "I never say that. I say, 'Whoever has the gold!' If they go, 'Hey, you can have the next title shot,' I'll wait for two years, three years, four years, whatever. I'll take that. I'll be the Rashad Evans of the heavyweight division.""Cheick has a few strategies," he said. "I've got to make sure he doesn't try to grab my shorts. That's a big one. Knees to the balls that's a big one. No grabbing the fence. And then hopefully he won't run. So those are all the things I'm looking at. I'm there to fight, and try to knock his block off."
And if Kongo doesn't want to engage and run, as Nelson said? Or if he tries to clinch with him for three rounds against the fence, as was the hallmark of his win over Jordan in July?
Nelson has a way around that.
"If Cheick wants to fight, then I'm ready to go," he said. "But if he's going to run, I didn't bring my running shoes. I'll chase him down if I have to. But at the end of the day, I just want to fight."
And if things line up just right for him with a win, he believes fighting the winner of next month's title fight between champ Velasquez and Antonio Silva might just be in the cards.
"It really comes down to the fans. It is about that timing," Nelson said. "After UFC 160, it's only a month difference (from now). So the timing after this, if I win, I definitely could get the next title shot."

"A Meal to Remember," East Cooper Meals on Wheels' annual gala and auction presented by Motley Rice, will take place on Wednesday, April 30, at the Omar Shrine. Doors open to all guests at 6:45 p.m. Each year guests gather for this black-tie optional affair to enjoy signature small plates from more than a dozen local chefs, live and silent auctions, and music performed by the Dave Landeo Band. Guests will feast on culinary delights ranging from traditional southern favorites to international dishes while bidding on items donated by more than 100 businesses in our community. The evening concludes with a fast-paced, live auction, featuring all-inclusive getaways, one-of-a-kind excursions and unique packages for every lifestyle.
This signature event focuses on creating an enjoyable evening for our guests and generating resources to ensure that none of our homebound neighbors, regardless of age or income, ever pays for a meal or is ever placed on a waiting list.
In 2013, East Cooper Meals on Wheels delivered 134,945 meals to homebound residents who reside in Mount Pleasant, Wando, Cainhoy, Daniel Island, Isle of Palms and Sullivan's Island. Last year's gala and auction raised more than $100,000, which provided for one-third of the meals delivered last year.
"The funds raised during the annual gala and auction are symbolic of the sense of caring our community has for our homebound residents. The generosity demonstrated each year continues to grow," said George Roberts, president and CEO. "And this year, there is an opportunity to amplify the funds raised during the gala through a special Coastal Community Foundation campaign, expanding the financial impact of each gift – making our signature event truly 'A Meal to Remember.'" For tickets or more information about the gala and auction, please call East Cooper Meals on Wheels at 843-881-9350.

I tried to download the latest Chromium build using Internet Explorer 9 and it was one of the most painful downloading experiences. Microsoft tries to protect users from downloading malware and uses a feature called SmartScreen Filter that "checks software downloads against a dynamically updated list of reported malicious software sites". This feature was available in IE8, but the latest version of IE tried to improve it by analyzing application reputation.
"In analyzing software downloads actively in use on the internet today, we found that most have an established download footprint and no history of malware. This was the genesis of SmartScreen application reputation. By removing unnecessary warnings, the remaining warnings become relevant. With SmartScreen Application Reputation, IE9 warns you before you run or save a higher risk program that may be an attempt to infect your computer with socially engineered malware. IE9 also stays out of the way for downloads with an established reputation. Based on real-world data we estimate that this new warning will be seen only 2-3 times a year for most consumers compared to today where there is a warning for every software download."
Here's how difficult is to run mini_installer.exe, Chromium's installer:
Step 1: "Do you want to run or save this program"? Click "run".
Step 2: "This file is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer." You have two options: "delete" and "actions". It's quite uncommon to label a button using a noun, but the only reasonable option is the generic "actions".
A help page explains that "when you download a program from the Internet, SmartScreen Filter will check the program against a list of programs that are downloaded by a significant number of other Internet Explorer users and a list of programs that are known to be unsafe. If the program you're downloading isn't on either list, SmartScreen Filter will display a warning that the file isn't 'commonly downloaded.' It doesn't necessarily mean the website is fraudulent or that the program is malware, but you probably shouldn't download or install the program unless you trust the website and the publisher."
Step 3: IE9 shows a modal dialog which informs you that "this program might harm your computer". Even though "SmartScreen Filter has little or no information" about the program, Microsoft's engineers thought it's a good idea to show two main options "don't run this program" and "delete program", followed by a cryptic "more options" drop-down. I clicked "more options" because I really wanted to install the program. (Update: this step was skipped the second time I tried to install the same file.)
Step 4: Microsoft finally shows the obvious option: "run anyway", but still recommends not to run the program.
There's a fine line between protecting users and annoying them, but IE9 managed to cross it.

And another bloop hit between SS and RF that time.
Paul has to know better than making that throw home.
Terrible decision by Paul to throw home.
Brandon had no business being that far out into CF. Rare defensive gaffe for him that could have hurt our two most productive hitters going right now.
Rounding third and heading for home...
What a disaster of an inning.
Ain't no party like a Marty Party.
Talk about BABIP.
Bloopers hurting the Reds.
3 runs scored with only 1 ball hit hard. Bad luck for Latos right now.
"Last week I helped my friend stay put. It's a lot easier'n helpin' 'em move. I just went over to his house and made sure that he did not start to load **** into a truck."
I swear Latos is the unluckiest SP I've ever watched when it comes to getting wins. There was a stat before the game that he's had 19 no decisions in 2012/13. Pretty crazy.

Town manager Brantley Price and town planner Matthew Levi met with Daniel Calhoun and one of his Horticulture classes Thursday afternoon to discuss plans for the class's involvement in maintaining the beauty of downtown West Jefferson.
Daniel Calhoun will lead Ashe County High School Horticulture classes in planting, mulching, watering and maintaining the curb extension planters and other landscaping fixtures throughout the streets. The project should begin in full force in the spring, but until then, there are still things the classes can do.
Calhoun said that the class could take samples for analysis to determine the readiness of the soil for planting. "It doesn't cost anything other than shipping for the samples. The tests are free. We could do that easily," said Calhoun.
Price and Levi said the soil testing would make their town maintenance crew very happy.
Owners of The Artists' Theatre, Steve and Lisa Willingham have made the beautification of East Main Street a pet project of theirs, and welcome the students' help. The Willinghams have played a large role in maintaining the fenced area next to the Ashe County Cheese gift shop Lisa calls "the wall."
"I was going to get in touch with a garden club or something, but it's good to deal with the schools," said Steve.
Lisa expressed her appreciation for David Barr, the owner of Quiet County Amish Furniture, who also had a hand in making the stretch of East Main Street presentable. Lisa said that Barr saw her planting flowers at "the wall" and came out to offer his assistance.
Lisa said it was refreshing to see teenagers getting involved in their community this way.
Price and Calhoun both said that this project would be mutually beneficial for the town and the Horticulture classes.
"This is a great opportunity for the kids to have a hands-on learning experience. There is only so much you can teach in the classroom, but when they're actually putting the plants in the ground they become familiar with the specifics," said Calhoun.
He said this is an excellent way to address different learning styles with a combination of academic learning and physical participation.
In the coming months, Price will determine what materials are needed, and leave the rest up to Calhoun and his students.

Here's an old article from ESPN on Smith and Davis' friendship...
DBs waiting and wondering
Antwuan Davis and Maurice Smith are, believe it or not, good friends.
Antwuan Davis is one of Texas' top defensive backs for the class of 2013.
Their bond wasn't forged in a traditional manner. Davis, a top cornerback from Bastrop (Texas), got to know his fellow defensive back from Sugar Land (Texas) Dulles from the few times they've competed together at camps.
When they took the field, a mutual respect formed almost immediately.
"We've gone to two different camps, and both times when we're on the field, no passes were caught," Davis said. "Those quarterbacks didn't know what to do."
Ever since then, they've kept in touch. They might not know a lot about one another, but they are certain about one thing: Smith and Davis believe they're the two best junior cornerbacks in the state of Texas.
And they'd really like to know if Duane Akina feels the same way.
Texas' secondary coach hasn't offered scholarships to either of them. He hasn't offered hardly anyone, actually. This spring, as 2013 commitments continue to steadily flow in, Akina is taking care of his portion of the class slowly. He wants more time to evaluate Texas' needs and options at corner and safety.
So far, elite national prospects have been the priority. The two known offers to 2013 defensive backs went to two of the country's best, safeties Marcell Harris (Groveland, Fla./South Lake) and Vonn Bell (Rossville, Ga./Ridgeland).
By making everyone else wait, Akina is asking Davis, Smith and a handful of other talented in-state recruits to stay patient. That's not an easy thing to do when rival coaches are constantly calling to show their love.
Davis and Smith have received more offers now than they'd ever imagined. Heard lots of promises, lots of praise. When will all that start coming from Texas?
"The offers had been coming in so fast here lately that it kind of shook me that I didn't get one from Texas," Smith said. "I thought one of two things. Maybe I have to work harder and make them notice me more. Or maybe it just wasn't meant to be with me and Texas."
Smith isn't the only one questioning where he stands with the Longhorns. He and Davis were two of five defensive backs that UT coaches brought in for their second junior day weekend last month. Each one had to swallow his pride and go home empty-handed.
Safeties Kameron Miles (Mesquite, Texas/West Mesquite) and Colin Janice (Orange, Texas/West Orange-Stark) were told evaluations will continue this spring. Livingston athlete Chevoski Collins would prefer to play receiver in college but was told UT will recruit him as a safety.
All five got the same message: We like you. We're just not ready for a commitment. The inherent gamble is obvious. All five could've put Texas in the rearview mirror when they left Austin and committed elsewhere by now.
Smith came oh-so-close to pulling the trigger during his junior day trip to Oklahoma last weekend. The 5-foot-11, 180-pound corner has been frustrated by the fact most schools seem to want him more than Texas does. At first, he took it personally.
So Smith gave Akina a call last week to find out where he stood. The reassurance he received was much-needed.
Texas has focused a lot of recruiting effort on out-of-state prospects like Marcell Harris.
"He was telling me to not give up on Texas and not be depressed or anything like that," Smith said. "Texas still had a lot of interest in me."
What Akina and the coaches are looking for, Davis said, are defensive backs who truly want to be Longhorns. The 2013 class is small and few spots are available. Texas can't afford to take a corner or safety who might decommit in the 11th hour.
Davis says he can understand that sentiment. So does he want to be at Texas?
"I would like to, definitely," he said. "I could see myself being a Longhorn."
He lost track of how many offers he's received when the number surpassed 20. But Davis knows which one he doesn't have. He's not sweating it just yet.
He likes his chances of getting one of the elusive Texas offer. After all, when he couldn't make it to the Saturday junior day last month, UT coaches urged him to visit on Sunday instead. They made him feel wanted when he did arrive at the 40 Acres.
"So far I've been the corner coach Akina has seen the most," he said. "That feels great. It just means I have more of an advantage over the rest of them. That's definitely helpful."
That flattery is nothing compared to what he's heard elsewhere. Oklahoma coaches told Davis he'll play right away for them if he picks the Sooners. Now that got his attention.
Still, Davis holds Texas' "DBU" reputation in high regard. He'll make a decision by the end of the summer. He hopes Texas is an option when the big day eventually arrives.
If that offer comes at the right time, he might commit on the spot. Remember, this recruiting game is all about timing.
"I've still got to see how my playing time would be as a freshman at Texas, because I know they can get me out of there in two or three years," Davis said. "I would like that. I know whatever they do with me, I'm going to be NFL-bound. That's all I could want from Texas."
Right now, all he wants is that scholarship offer. Smith and Davis both want to be the first guy to get one from Texas. Sure, they're pals now. But they're also competitors.
Maybe, if they get their way, that will change in college.
"I would really like to play with him," Davis said. "I don't know. It's like we were bound to play together."
Right now, they don't need destiny or fate to make that dream come true. Just dedication, and a little faith.

I knew something bad was going to happen, but I didn't expect that. It left me feeling kinda crappy for a few days after I read it. Does anyone else get like this?

Over the years I've traced all kinds of traits back through our families - some good, some not. But one theme has been remarkably constant - strong religious faith and participation. Families have clearly defined church memberships that extend for generations.
Thomas Meredith, a wealthy 19th century Baltimore merchant, was Catholic. He educated many of his nephews and nieces at Catholic schools, but the evidence is clear they were not baptized Catholics as children. Letters refer to two nephews deciding not to become Catholic. Niece Margaret Meredith was baptized at school in 1840, when she was about 18 years old. Nephew William V. Meredith is referred to as a convert in a newspaper article celebrating his 25th anniversary as a priest. One of Meredith's maternal uncles, William Yerby, was married in a Catholic church in Baltimore. There's no indication the Merediths before Thomas were Catholic. Indeed, his presumptive ancestor, John Meredith, tried to wrest control of an estate from Edwin Conway in 1654 by alleging he was a Papist. The only hint of evidence that any earlier Palmers were Catholic is the Maryland marriage of one of James Palmer's aunts to a Brent, a family that had Catholic branches. John Meredith's third wife was a Brent, but they were married in Lancaster County by a Protestant minister.
The chart reinforces the central role Thomas Meredith played in their lives - and in my research. I know about those family members he corresponded with. Those he didn't are still ciphers. John Meredith's children were particularly close to him after being orphaned in 1835. He played a lesser role with other nieces and nephews.
I noticed that proven Catholics left the Northern Neck and lived in places with Catholic institutions - where they left records. Only John A. Palmer remained in Virginia. Thomas & his sister-in-law Margaret Piet Meredith lived in Baltimore. His Yerby uncle lived in Baltimore before moving to Mississippi. Maria Lee Palmer and her mother settled in Frederick, MD. Nephew William V. Meredith moved to Maryland and became a Redemptorist priest in 1853. Presumed grandniece Caroline Meredith seems to have become a Sister of Charity after living in a Baltimore Catholic orphanage following her parents' deaths.
I don't believe I'm going to get a definitive thumbs up or down on this group. My hunch is that at least the Yerbys had ties to Catholicism and when economic opportunities took men to cities with Catholic institutions and populations they married into Catholic families. Thomas Meredith seems to have been a deciding factor in the faiths of his brother John's orphans.
There is still much more research I can do. I am hoping to take some time next spring and visit archives in Baltimore, Richmond and Lancaster County. Some of the family connections are far from proven, but I'm hopeful that church archives may help.

Martin Scorsese's Favorite Gangster MoviesFriday, September 10th, 2010
Martin Scorsese dishes, over at The Daily Beast, about the gangster films that had a profound effect on the way that he thought about crime and how he would eventually portray it on film. The list includes a few films that you have heard of such as Cagney's The Public Enemy, White Heat, The Roaring Twenties, and Scarface (1932 Paul Muni). But there are quite a few obscure titles that you are probably not familiar with like Pete Kelly's Blues and Force of Evil. Read on:
Here are 15 gangster pictures that had a profound effect on me and the way I thought about crime and how to portray it on film. They excited me, provoked me, and in one way or another, they had the ring of truth.
I stopped before the '70s because we're talking about influence here, and I was looking at movies in a different way after I started making my own pictures. There are many gangster films I've admired in the last 40 years—Performance, the Godfather saga, Leone's Once Upon a Time in America, The Long Good Friday, Sexy Beast, John Woo's Hong Kong films.
Check out the video of two of 15 movies below and click here to see the other 13.
The shocking, blunt brutality; the energy of Cagney in his first starring role; the striking use of popular music (the song "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles")—this picture led the way for all of us.
[Howard] Hawks' film is so fast, so fluid, so funny, and so excitingly expressionistic. The audacity of it is amazing. It was finished by 1930, but it was so violent that it was held up by the censors

Agriculture and Mining Jobs in South Africa
Agriculture has to do with the growing, harvesting and creating of food products. There are various duties involved for the general worker in agriculture. Because of the manual labour involved when it comes to agriculture, the worker must have great physical abilities. The experience is gained on the job, which is why most agricultural employers are looking for candidates who already have experience in the field. However having qualifications such as agricultural science. What kind of experience you need (and sometimes the relatable qualifications) depends on the industry and the employer.
