Road plan out of character
The Aiken Report we residents receive along with the city water bill has a circular logo that reads "Character First Aiken." This motto is repeated on banners throughout the city. The October Aiken Report describes efforts to make Aiken a safer community. Various brochures invite visitors and residents to "come and experience our town with its beautiful parkways and shaded streets, its double avenues ...." Much is published about Aiken's unique identity and charm. Importance is placed on preserving wildlife and natural areas. The city of Aiken, in its brochure defining Aiken's attractions, includes a glowing description of "The citywide arboretum" and invites exploration and enjoyment of the "serene beauty of our city."
I am sorely disappointed in the individuals among the decision-makers in Aiken and in the state who don't care very much about any of the graces of Aiken mentioned above, and are ignoring the character traits that are supposed to come first here. Nor must they care about the residents whose homes are jeopardized. We who live, work and worship in the south part of the city are facing the destruction of an attractive residential parkway turned into a commercial corridor, with no provision for environmental relief from hard pavement and heavy traffic. Hitchcock Parkway is busy during certain times of the day when commuters use it. Turning lanes and another traffic signal or two would be a less invasive solution to the congestion. Instead, the S.C. Department of Transportation, with the blessing of several of our city, county and state elected officials, is intent on inflicting a highway of four to five lanes, with its accompanying disturbances on countless residents, churches and businesses along Hitchcock Parkway, as well as Hitchcock Woods.
Where is Aiken's character in that?

Rated 4.6 out of 5Â by 19 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by fawn13 love!! i got the blue one at macys on sale. i almost didnt get it but im so happy i did . its my favorite sweater. i wear it with leggings, jeans and over a dress. 7.12.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NiJo Adorable I managed to snag the light blue and orange colors and I have been wearing them almost non stop! They are really soft, and woven wonderfully. I especially love the crochet-like sides, which makes this somewhat heavy sweater breezier and wearable in warmer weather. I usually get an XS in FP's baggier styles, but I wanted a wider neckline so I got a SM and it's perfect. Goes off the shoulder very nicely. My favorite FP sweaters to date! 6.26.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by sueandnick1 Great sale purchase. Just received the vanilla blue and immediately tried it on. Purchased the small however could have gone with xs. FYI 5ft 7in, 55-57kg, 35 inch bust. Gorgeous detail and super soft. Great layering piece. Grab yourself a bargain, you will not be disappointed. 5.7.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by FPashley Perfect layering piece Easy layering sweater that lays perfectly over dresses or slips and pairs well with either jeans or shorts. I give it 4/5 stars because the neckline doesn't allow for a more relaxed, off the shoulder look. I'm 5'8" and purchased an XS. 3.7.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Beachinchick Stretchy Striped Pullover I got this sweater in the black stone. The black is dark and not faded like a lot of FP tops and the contrasting stripe is a tannish-ivory color. As some reviewers stated, it is a little boxy at first but the material is very soft and stretchy and so as I wore it it got longer. I got my usual size small for over-sized FP sweaters which was perfect for me at 5'10, 135 lbs. and the length is below my belt line. I personally wouldn't size up because the medium wasn't much longer, but it was wider. Very cute and flattering sweater! 2.23.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by GroovyBunny My New Favorite Pullover This is the perfect sweater for spring, if only I could wait that long to wear it. I love the nubby texture, the pretty crochet insets, and the baby blue stripes on the white sweater. The only question is ~ what to wear underneath? I paired it with the pink Emily slip, but I can't wait to see what other cute tops will look good peeking out through the crochet. (Here it is with the Emily Slip and the Oak Park Pendant.) 2.7.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by NinjaGirl Boxy but oh so cute Based on the other reviewers, I went up a size from my usual XSmall and ordered this in a small in Black Stone. It is a slightly boxy but wonderfully soft sweater. Looks pretty much like it does online. The crochet work goes up enough on the side that you may need to have a cami or at least a really cute bra on because when you raise your arms, whatever you are wearing will show. The fabric is soft and there has been none of the shedding that other reviewers have found, but I haven't washed it yet. Looks good with jeans and looks really nice slipped on over maxi dresses. 2.3.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by arizonagirl31 Super Comfy! Probably one of the coziest sweaters I own! It definitely runs large but if you want the kind of baggier look it totally works. I am 5'3 115 pounds and I got a small which is slightly big on me like I said but that was the look I was going for anyway. 1.24.2013

Drool Over this Stunning Burgundy Barn Renovation by Josephine Interior Design
The renovation was completed by Josephine Interior Design, owned by the energetic and eclectic Josephine Gintzburger. Gintzburger previously worked in the fashion world, and she translated her skills to make interior spaces look their most flattering. She shows us that even an old barn in France's wine country can be given a fresh and stylish feel by incorporating sustainable elements.
The kitchen features a long concrete island with a lowered seating area extending off the end. The island has open storage on one side for displaying dishware and appliances, and concealed storage on the opposite side.
Above the family room areas is an additional gathering space with amazing natural light coming in through large plate windows. We noticed that the consideration for natural light throughout the home has allowed Gintzburger to limit the use of artificial light.

It gathers info on your device, the processes it runs over a few days, diagnoses "Hogs" of power and "Bugs" it recommends that you looks at for possible power monsters. It gives you a 'score' for your device based on it's usage comparison of 'like' and 'un-like' devices it has in it's database and comes out pretty good over the course of about a month... So, if you have the time and really find out what your IOS device is doing, this is a great tool.. AND, it's free !!!!

DDP Yoga is where it's at.
DDP Yoga is where it's at.
If I'm booking it, I start with 29 men in the ring & then Warrior's music hits, he races down to the ring, does like four clotheslines to eliminate say Ryback, Axel & 3MB, shakes the ropes like a maniac and races right back out of the ring and back to the back. That'd get a HUUUUUUUGE POP!
From there, I book the Battle Royal around two main stars- Big Show(as an homage to Andre, being "King of the Battle Royal") and Cesaro, with them being the final two and having Cesaro get his "Mania Moment" by GIANT SWINGING Show a shitload of times, then eliminating him via another feat of strength. Let Cesaro celebrate with the gimmicked massive trophy and bill him as "The Giant Slayer" for the next few months until his face turn is complete. IMO, this would be the PERFECT vehicle to get him over as a major star, showcasing him by eliminating a ton of big guys and really making him look like a badass while letting fans turn him face.
Another area to go is to use it to heel REBOOT Kofi win it. Have him CHEAT on one of his infamous "Rumble Saves" going unnoticed and let him go around acting like RGIII all decked out in his trophy with an egotistical prick gimmick.
Also, now let this sit in your brain for a bit but......WHAT IF the reason Punk left was due to a failed drug test, hence his 30 day hiatus and radio silence and WHY WWE hasn't buried him. Just a thought.
Thoughts? I still think they have work to do in the Tag Team Division, before they start thinking about something like this.Six-Man Tag Team Matches have been the premier form of combat in WWE since The Shield stormed on the scene at Survivor Series 2012. Since that night, Superstars have been teaming up in trios to try and take out The Hounds of Justice, and it's led to some of the most thrilling bouts in WWE history. But what is it about these melees that gets the WWE Universe so pumped up?
Watch The Shield's debut match at WWE TLC 2012 on WWE Network
"There's so many elements involved," Seth Rollins explained to WWE.com. "There are six guys, all with different styles. The way those two teams interact with each other creates a lot of combustible elements that gets the energy higher."
With the arrival of The Wyatt Family last summer, the action in the ring only got hotter. Everyone from John Cena to El Torito paired up in threes to try and knock off the two hottest trios in WWE. After battling anyone who stood in their paths, The Shield and The Wyatts clashed in absolute wars that have left the WWE Universe begging for more.
"It's a different dynamic," Goldust said. "Six-Man Tag Matches are good to have on the show, because they're very exciting."
Six-Man Tag Team Match photos | Highlights from epic Six-Man Tag Matches
The renaissance of Six-Man Tag Team Matches over the past year has us here at WWE.com wondering if, perhaps, the stakes should be raised for three-on-three competition. No time in WWE history has ever been better than now to introduce Six-Man Tag Team Championships.
While the ideas of titles for a three-man team might seem novel, it's nothing new in the world of wrestling. There's not a better argument for having Six-Man Tag Team Titles than World Class Championship Wrestling. The Texas-based promotion had trios titles of its own, and they often eclipsed the singles championships.
That's because the WCCW Six-Man Tag Team Championships were often the lynchpin of the red-hot rivalry between The Fabulous Freebirds and The Von Erichs. Some combination of Fritz, Kerry, Kevin, David & Mike Von Erich teamed up to battle the rowdy trio of Michael Hayes, Terry Gordy & Buddy Roberts in wars that had Texans cramming into the sweltering hot Sportatorium every week.
The first family of Texas wrestling and the hard-living Freebirds traded the titles back and forth for the better part of five years before the tension cooled down between the two factions.
Just south of the border from The Lone Star State, in Mexico, where lucha libre reigns supreme, Six-Man Tag Team Matches are a way of life. One-on-one matches are a rarity in Mexico, saved for the most intense rivalries. The main form of competition is the Six-Man Tag Team Match, commonly called the Trios Match.
The lucha libre style equals matches jam packed with speedy grapplers racing around the ring and daredevil luchadores gracefully soaring through the air before crash landing into their foes. A unique rule even allows for a fresh man to enter the ring as soon as one of his partners leaves the ring and touches the arena floor, ensuring the action stays fast-paced at all times.
WWE, even under Hunter, will never invest as much as they should into a tag or trios division.
Their logic is that "tags don't draw" because you can't invest in a team character-wise as you can a singles star(which is dumb) and "why pay two guys big money?", as a result they argue that you can't depend on two guys to stay healthy and clean etc and is thus, double the risk.
The six mans have been awesome, but WWE only pushes tags when they accidentally get hot and allow it to run its course.
Done right they could make it viable and get some pairings together that might not have been an option in the past
Random thoughts from Raw:
I think Ryback and Big E could have a decent feud
I think AJ is getting buried by the WWE because of Punk
I think the WWE's wellness program doesn't apply to COOs who wrestle
I think I hate the way Sandow is being booked. Show no selling a punch from him and then chokeslamming Sandow for the pin sucks.
I think we may not be seeing Fandango for a while.
I think Usos, Rhodes, Real Americans, and Outlaws could have a pretty good tag match at WM if they're given enough time.
I think last night was the 39th time Kofi has jobbed to Wyatt
I think I'm cool with The Shield not breaking up.
I really wish they would have Wade Barrett wrestle every once in a while.

NOTE: This post is from 2003, some information might be outdated.
People have recently been asking me what software I use, so I've decided to make a list of the software that I think is "essential" and that I have to install on any system that I use; feel free to discuss. Please keep in mind I'm only focusing on Win32 software here, since this is probably the OS of choice for most forum readers.
I intend to add quite a few programs to the list, and some are getting removed.
A sample of programs I'm going to add or expand on list: Subtitle Workshop, mp4ui, LA (lossless audio), ffdshow, AC3Filter, Zoom Player, The Font Thing, XnView, GhostScript/GhostView, DiscJuggler, COM Explorer, ActiveX Explorer, ZTree, BHODemon, VSigGen, PerfectDisc, PowerBASIC 7, 7-Zip, QuickPar, SFV Checker, vile, Borland CodeWright, Visual SlickEdit, Eset NOD32 Antivirus, WinSCP, AvantBrowser, lftp, NFTP, NcFTP, Sam Spade, Xnews, Mulberry, PuTTY, OpenChat/32, C-Kermit, Kermit-95, Open DCL, foobar2000, bfilter, Zsh, wget, ScrollZ, OpenSSH, Seminole httpd, and more.
I'm going to add a small section for NeXTSTEP and OpenStep software as well, since I'm a daily user of NeXT workstation equipment.

Development & Programming:
MinGW32 and MSYS and the latest updates - MinGW32 provides a complete GNU compiler toolchain and assorted glue in the form of headers and libraries that allows for compilation and development of native Win32 applications. As of this writing it provides a complete GNU C 3.2.3 environment including the GNU assembler, binutils, and linker. MSYS is the MinGW Minimal System, which provides a POSIX-like environment to aid in development and porting. Most importantly, MSYS includes native-Win32 versions of many tools. Even if you don't plan on doing development, you get native Win32 ports of tools like bzip2, GNU awk, grep, less, M4, make, md5sum, patch, sed, and tar, along with a native port of rxvt and the Vim editor.
X-Ways WinHex Specialist - The best binary file editor I've found for Windows. Supports Unicode, ANSI, ASCII, EBCDIC, unlimited file size, and your standard features. Unlike UltraEdit-32, WinHex is designed to be only a hex-editor, and it has features you won't find most other places: FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS raw directory interpertation, raw direct disk and RAM editing, disk cloning functions, CRC and hash and checksum support, editing of unallocated file slack space, a PRNG (random number generator) and powerful scripting and API hooks. I used to use UltraEdit-32. I would still recommend UE due to it's built-in FTP access, allowing you to work with files on remote servers as if they were local, which is great for web development.
Vim - Vi Improved. The Editor. Vi with great features such as unlimited undo and redo levels, support for foreign languages and charactersets, visual text formatting and syntax highlighting for too many formats to mention, programmable macros, unlimited number of open files, buffers, and split screen editing with virtual memory/swapping, crash recovery, and integration with programming languages such as Tcl, Python, and Perl. Available in Win32 GUI and console versions.
L5SG ServiceManager and DriverManager - Two of the best tools for tracking down and viewing information on running Services (only a minor improvement over the NT/2K/XP Serivces MMC) and Drivers, which was only previously manageable using tools from the Windows Resource Kits.
Digital Mars Compiler Suite - Free C, C++, D, and assembler for DOS, DOS32 (using X32 DOS Extender) and Win16/Win32. It's a fast compiler that supports some neat features such as 80-bit long doubles and support for most C99 features. It has it's own built-in executable compression, similar to UPX.
DJGPP - 32-bit C, C++ and Objective C compiler for DOS. DJGPP is to DOS what MinGW32 is to Win32 development. A good alternative to DMCC if your porting UNIX software or if you want to operate in a POSIX development environment and create DPMI DOS applications. If you require DOS, Win32, and OS/2 development, you can look into EMX/RSXNT.
PL/I - PL/I is probably the greatest programming language ever created. It's also probably most famous for being the implementation language of the Multics operating system. If you follow the PL/I link you can find resources and information about PL/I and also functions that implement modern IBM PL/I features for older compilers. There is a free G-level subset PL/I compiler for DOS available for free download.
Moonrock - Another relatively unknown programming language that I'd be lost without. Moonrock syntax is similar to BASIC, and it "compiles" the programs into x86 assembly language. The best way to learn how to program in Moonrock is to examine the example programs -- a IRC client and small HTTP web server for DOS.
Other free compilers and assemblers:
For ASM I'm now using FASM for DOS, Win32, and Linux, supporting MMX/SSE/SSE2/3DNow and outputs in BIN, MZ, PE and COFF formats. NASM is still a great assembler and is used by lots of projects (including LAME).
COBOL 6.50 for DOS, GNU Fortran77 for DOS, Microsoft MASM, LINK, ML, H2INC, and NMAKE for DOS and Win32, and FreePascal. There are still others such as Pacific C, TMT, Digital C, etc., but I'm only listing the "best of the best" here.
UPX - The best executable file compressor. It makes your compiled executables and libraries smaller and usually speeds the application load time. I've had the least compatibility issues with UPX, and it compresses most file types.
SpyBot Search & Destroy - One of the best utilities for removing and detecting SpyWare, Dialers, Keyloggers, and most importantly, usage tracks from various programs, and it can be easily customized. It seems that just one Spyware program isn't always enough. To be safe, I also use two other products: Ad-Aware and Spyware Blaster.
Also useful: http://www.malwarebytes.org/
NOTE: Now discontinued!
CD and Disk Utilities:
ISOBuster - ISOBuster is here for two reasons. It's the only utility I've found that successfully makes usable images of VMS ODS-2 formatted discs as well as properly reading permissions and long filenames entries from Rock Ridge discs. It supposedly is able to recover data from damaged CD-RW discs and facilitate data recovery of files deleted from CD-RW's, but I've never tried it.
WinImage - Best floppy disk image handling program for Windows that I know of. I use it mainly because it supports some (but not all) non-standard formats, such as 1.68MB DMF. It can defragment images in memory as well as reading and writing them, and it also supports creating nifty self-extracting executables.
DiskImager - DiskImager is an old school utility to read and write disk images, written in Pascal and 286 assembler. It comes with free source code, the only restriction being you cannot use the source to create a DiskImager clone. It supports standard 1.44MB floppies that are high density, 2 sided, 18 sectors/track, 80 tracks/side, but, unlike WinImage, it doesn't care what the filesystem on the disks is. I've used DI to make self-extracing OS boot images, and a self-extracting MemTest86 floppy. It's compatible with Windows NT, 2000, and XP!
SpinRite 5 - I hate Steve Gibson, maybe more than Bill Gates himself. He's publicity whore #1, and he makes incredible claims of his software that aren't always true. However, SpinRite is a great utility. What is nice about it is that it shows you exactly what it's doing, so it can be used to find mechanical problems with hard drives (and floppy drives!) as well as media problems when used by an experienced tech. This is it's best feature, even though it wasn't intended to be used this way. I've had old SCSI hard drives that most disk utilities, even OnTrack Data Advisor, said were fine, but kept failing in use over time. After running Level 5 SpinRite, I finally saw the drive was failing to respond to relocation requests, and it was thrown away.
Free FDISK - Enhanced DOS FDISK that supports non-DOS partition types, disks up to 128GB, and automatic execution from batch files.
Nero - The best general CD-RW software I've used for yet, and it hasn't failed me.
Operating System Essentials:
4NT and 4DOS - 4NT is a replacement for NT/2K/XP's CMD.EXE, while 4DOS is a COMMAND.COM replacement for DOS/95/98/Me. It's amazing in every way, making you want to spend your time on the command prompt. It supports file descriptions, aliases, macros, redefinitions, extended wildcards (ex: DIR /S ?SJ*F?1.BA?), internal file viewer, batch debugger, recursive copy/delete/rename, internal variables to access low-level system information like memory, disk, process, and OS statistics, and a powerful programming language with many C like functions including string handling and formatting, exception handling, and switch/case/if/than/else logic.
ZTreeWin - XTree Gold for Win32 console. Supports LFN's and has too many features, like a builtin hex editor and viewer, binary level compare, and it treats ARJ/CAB/LHA/JAR/RAR/ZIP archives like any other directory. ZTree is better than XTG ever was.
Open DCL Lite - Free DCL interface and interperter for Win32 and UNIX. Allows you to work as if you were in VMS environment! While not every command is implemented in the Lite version (and SHOW STATUS crashes in XP), OpenDCL Lite has enough lexicals and commands to make a VMS user feel at home, and allows you to mix Win32 commands with VMS commands.
MicroDCL - Another DCL interface and interperter, but this time for DOS users, featuring an incredible extensible help system, useful for boot disks.
CMFiler - CMFiler is yet another file manager ala XTree, but it has it's own unique functions and finger feel, and some neat features like "fit to copy" for fitting large directory of files such as images onto floppy disks, and neat grep-like text find features. It's a DOS application but supports LFN's.
PocketD - Purely a DOS application, but combined with 4DOS, gives you best possible DOS environment. A replacement for the DIR command, on crack; it searches, it locates, it copies, it analyses, it views, it sorts, it colorizes, it makes graphs!
A last one for the DOS crew, the Korn Shell (ksh) and Bourne Shell (bash) for MS-DOS and compatibles.
Audio and Audio Compression:
DXMan - By AnalogX, the makers of 18 million crappy utilities, here comes one worth using! Seriously, DXMan allows you to easily manage DirectX Audio Plugins, including support to add, remove, and reconfigure them. There are also some other useful DirectX Audio Plugins here, such as Gate, Arpeg, and Phase. BitPolice is also useful as it lets you examine the bit-level output. DriveTime shows you how much hard disk space you have left in hh:mm:ss. Don't download anything else from this site though! =)
EncSpot 2 - EncSpot was written by potsticker, who has recently disappeared, so don't except any updates! However, it's still a great program. If you don't know anything about it, just download it and check it out. It analyses files and directories of audio files and shows bitrate graphs, encoder information, and aggregate information like directory average bitrate and quality, and it works with MPC files as well as MP3.
EAC - Exact Audio Copy - The best ripper. I used to be a fan of CDex until I did some actual tests, and even if it may not be miles ahead of other rippers, it offers important features that I couldn't live without now, including accurate gap detection. Sometimes difficult to setup, but if you do it correctly, you can be sure you are getting the best possible CDDA rips.
MP3Gain - ReplayGain for your MP3 files, and it works with any player due to it's lossless modification of the audio file itself.
Monkey's Audio - Lossless audio compression that I can finally recommend due to the change in licensing! This is now a tie with WavPack for favorite lossless audio compression. FLAC is probably the most promising new lossless audio compressor. Once version 1.0.5 is released, it might become my recommended codec for lossless.
MusePack/MPC/MPEGplus/MP+ - MusePack Living Audio Compression, in my opinion, the most promising lossy compression codec, and the only audio encoder I have installed on my machine other than TooLAME.
TooLAME - TooLAME is an open source MPEG-1 Level 2 (MP2) audio encoder. An experimental branch (0.3) was very slowly coming together at the time of writing at SourceForge.
Tag - Tag wins for tag management, mainly because it provides an easy way for me to get rid of all tags on all audio files on my entire hard drive. Death to tagging. :-P
Foobar2000 - PP's new pet project, a simple, all purpose audio player for power users. If you don't know about it, read the FB2K Forum.
IrfanView-32 - The best all purpose graphics viewer. I thought all my DjVu content was going to go to waste due to bad tools, but IrfanView to the rescue. Before IrfanView came around, L-View was my recommendation, and it seems that it is still developed at lview.com.
ScreenGrab - A simple screen snapshot utility that captures either the current window or full screen to BMP, JPG, or PNG.
PNGOUT - PNGOUT is a PNG compression optimizer by Ken Silverman, the same guy who wrote the BUILD engine used in games like Redneck Rampage. It usually compresses PNG images better than PNGCRUSH can. I use PNGOUT first, and then see if PNGCRUSH can do a better job. You can get PNGCRUSH over here.
Note: I don't support using a whole lot of weird compression methods, especially when source code isn't available and the author isn't well know. I don't trust my data to just anything. With that said I give my prizes to:
1st Place - RAR - I use RAR on my Win32 systems, and it is my default application for ARJ, LZH, ACE, ZIP, and JAR files. It's not as much of a hog as ACE and other packers, has great open-source support, and a low-footprint.
2st Place - InfoZIP - ZIP and UnZIP utilities that run on more than 50 different operating systems and platforms. It may not be the best implementation of the ZIP deflate method (see KZIP for that), but it wins for reliability and compatibility.
Internet Applications:
Mulberry - Mulberry is the best e-mail program hands-down. I've been using it for years, and it's available for Mac, Windows, Linux, Solaris, etc. It has the best IMAP support in the industry and has the best integration with GNU Privacy Guard I've seen in a Windows application. It supports all the security features such as SSL/TLS/STARTTLS, Kerberos, CRAM/DIGEST MD5 and NT domain authentication. I wish it had better support for UCE filtering, but I have no major complaints.
XNews - XNews wins my pick as newsreader of choice. It's 100% GNKSA complaint, which is a very important thing, and should say more about the applicatin than what I can write here. One place it isn't the best is pr0n mass downloading... for all your pr0n mass-downloading needs, get Agent.
I use Internet Explorer as my web browser, but I also use all the security tools above, and keep up to date with Microsoft. I couldn't bear to use IE without "Toggle Images.exe", which was a tool first included in the IE4 "Pro Pack". It still functions properly 6.0 SP1. A simple utility, it disables the display and download of in-line images for a fast-text only experience. I have it enabled 90% of my browsing.
When I am not using IE, I use OffByOne, a simple HTML 3.2 browser.
I'm not a fan of Mozilla, but I've examined almost every single browser out there that includes and uses Mozilla as a base and always stay with Phoenix. If you won't use IE, please save yourself the hassle of trying out everything else and help the Phoenix team develop their great application.
Sam Spade wins as my all around network utility for Win32. It combines ping, dig, nslookup, traceroute, whois, finger, host, dnsblquery, nettime, etc. all into one easy to use GUI. On a platform like Windows where the native utilities aren't always available, Sam Spade has never failed me.
SecureFX - SecureFX wins as my FTP client of choice. It also supports SSH's SCP and SFTP file transfers as well, supports odd servers like VMS and MVS without a hitch, has great resume support, and supports command-line functionality for scripting via batch languages.
wget - wget wins as the best web grabber application out there. I'm always using it's "-c -t 0 -mirror -np" to grab down websites and it's great for use when your connection is bad and you really need to grab that file. Screw download managers and accelerators! You can always get the latest stable, beta and alpha Win32 wget here.
The best terminal emulation program in existance is Kermit and C-Kermit. If you want to use Telnet, Tn3270, SSH/SSH2, and you aren't using Kermit, you an idiot. Actually your worse than an idiot, but we won't get into that. If you have 95/98/Me/NT/2K/XP get K95 or else stick with C-Kermit. If for some reason you absolutely cannot under any circumstances use Kermit or C-Kermit, you might want to try PuTTY for Telnet/SSH and QWS3270 for Tn3270 instead.
ScrollZ - SZ wins as the best IRC client. I may be biased because back when they were on 1.8d/e and the client was closed sourced and had an IP-lock copy protection scheme, I began first using it, and later developing it with source code access. I implemented a few functions that were used in scripting my own script (eps) and other general features like country identifcation. The client is now open-source. It's lineage is from ircII and CToolZ. It supports ANSI, SZ, and mIRC colors, has it's own internals shitlist/userlist/friendlist for operating as a channelbot, caching of server variables, internal XDCC/CDCC, flood and channel protection, and other features. It is designed to be secure and stable, and not to include any default annoyance features or autokick/autoban settings, so it's safe even for IRCops to use (many do). The current source compiles under Cygwin, and I'm working on a native port. I have a NeXTSTEP, OpenStep, and OpenVMS/VAX port of older SZ versions available as well, if anyone is interested.
Well, what do you guys think? I purposely didn't add any major specific applications like Photoshop, and I'm staying away from reviewing office productivity applications. Remember this is MY best of the best list, and I hope you enjoyed reading it.
Have a happy computing experience.

After living and travelling in Asia for over ten years, Naomi was inspired by a love for funky vintage fabrics, cute Japanese style and the desire to keep cool and look chic! So Coloured Clouds Parasols were born!Add a parasol to any outfit and stand out in a crowd....These little squares of shade have people commenting on their uniqueness left, right and centre! A perfect gift for any age group, young or old adore them, and they look just as good in the corner of a room. Wooden handles and tips give these hand crafted clouds the edge on other parasols.
Behind the scenes...
Imported metal frames from Japan, hand carved wooden handles also from Japan. Vintage material is sourced from vintage shops in Australia. All these bits and pieces are sewn, stitched and lovingly hand crafted in Byron Bay, Australia.
Naomi is the imagination and skill behind Coloured Clouds. She brings the parasols back with her to the UK when she visits family, so no unnecessary packaging and shipping is used to get them from one side of the world to the other!

A woman from Carroll County, Va., is being held in the Surry County Jail for allegedly trafficking hydrocodone pills from a business kiosk at Mayberry Mall in Mount Airy.
Amanda Christine "Chrissy" Montgomery, 27, of Hillsville, is facing prescription drug charges as a result of an undercover operation involving the N.C. Alcohol Law Enforcement division and Mount Airy Police Department. She is jailed under a $75,000 secured bond.
The investigation began about two months ago after authorities received a complaint that Montgomery was selling pills while working at the mall on U.S. 52-North. ALE personnel then launched the operation along with the Mount Airy police narcotics unit.
On four different occasions, Montgomery allegedly sold a total of 135 pills to an undercover ALE agent, and at the time of her arrest during the weekend, she had an additional 31 pills in her possession, authorities said.
The Hillsville woman is charged with four counts each of trafficking in opiates, sale or delivery of a controlled substance, possession with intent to sell or deliver a controlled substance and use and possession with intent to use drug paraphernalia.
Those offenses are alleged to have occurred on Nov. 15, Dec. 5, Jan. 2 and last Thursday.
Mount Airy Police Chief Dale Watson said Monday that the case involving Montgomery highlights the "magnitude" of the prescription drug problem, which is known to have caused nearly 50 overdose deaths in Surry County over the past two years.
"It's out there and very prevalent in our community still," said Watson, who spearheaded the formation of a local task force in 2011 in response to increasing abuse and misuse of various medications.
Despite the best efforts to educate the public about those dangers, there continue to be elements who seek to profit from the drug dependency of others, Watson said.
The fact that the most recent investigation involved the state Alcohol Law Enforcement division is a testament to the seriousness of the problem, the police chief said. "It does take a joint effort with local and state officials to combat this issue."
ALE agents have the authority to arrest and take investigatory action for any criminal offense. Their primary responsibility is the enforcement of Alcoholic Beverage Control laws and the Controlled Substances Act.
The situation with illegal drug sales taking place in such a visible location as a Mayberry Mall kiosk was not lost on one of the state officers involved.
"We worked the investigation to stop the (illegal) sale of controlled substances in a family-friendly atmosphere," said Assistant Special Agent in Charge Brad Putnam.
Citing the recent deaths in Surry County from the misuse and abuse of such drugs, Putnam added, "This was an effort to thwart any more damage caused by the illegal sales of controlled substances."

Awesome! Thanks for the intel Leanna. And the credit for asking the question! I'll give it a try :)
App for That: How to draw shapes on your photos
There are hundreds of thousands of iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad apps for just about everything -- so how come the one you need, the one you know just has to be there, is so hard to find? Enter TiPb's weekly feature where staff and readers alike sort through the App Store and help you find just the right App for That. This week, Darryl asks:
I noticed in your article about rotating pictures, you had drawn circles around the specific buttons you were talking about in your steps. I was just wondering if you used an app to do that. I have been endlessly searching for an app that allows you to draw over pics, screenshots, etc and still have yet to find one. Do you know of any? Let me know. Thanks for your help
I had actually used a desktop app called Skitch to draw the circles, but a dedicated iPhone app would be much more convenient! To see what we found for Darryl (and me!), follow along after the break!
Sketches 2 [$4.99 - App Store link] is an iPhone and iPad app that comes with various shapes and stamps to add to your photos. You can also switch to freehand mode and draw whatever you want. Additionally, you can add text and integrate apps to draw directions.
Once your sketch is complete, you can export it to your photo album, share it via twitter or email, or download your drawings to your computer in PDF (full vector format), JPG or PNG.
LateNiteSoft also has the classic Sketches availalbe on the App Store for a lower price of $1.99 [App Store link]. This version has fewer features and is not universal for iPhone and iPad.
Anyone else have any App for That suggestions for Darryl? Let him -- and all of us -- know.
Having trouble finding what you need in the app store? Head on over to our App and Game Feature Forum and let us know what you're looking for. The TiPb community will do our best to find you just the right App for That!

Topi (a free messaging app) lets you draw freehand on pic's or blank canvas and send it to the person/group you are chatting with, share it on Facebook or save it on your phone.
It also has a Live Sketch feature which is a realtime whiteboard where multiple people can draw on the same image at the same time.

Apple releases iOS 6 for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
Ladies and gentlemen, start your updates! As promised, Apple has just put iOS 6 in general release.
Here's our MASSIVE review:
Here's how to update:
Let us know if you're updating OTA, or doing a clean install over iTunes, how long the download looks like it's going to take, and most importantly -- when you're up and running iOS 6!
REMINDER: It might take a while for the OTA update to popup, keep calm and keep checking. I imagine Apple's servers will get hit something fierce today...

Apple releases iOS 6 for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
I need wifi ugh
where r u downloading iOS 6? I don't see it anywhere :(
Perhaps thats it. where r u from?
Downloading now in San Francisco via a Verizon MiFi device. Download is pretty fast too, I seem to remember iOS 5 being a bit slow
Nothing in NYC yet! :(
Nothing in Mexico City, MEXICO
Check again, I am doing it now for my iPhone and iPad, Aguascalientes, Mexico.l
OK NYC is now getting the update and downloading now :) I am doing a clean install on iTunes!
Download via iTunes took 2 mins...updating now fresh install
iTunes downloading now for iPad, no luck on OTA so far. (Vero Beach, FL)
Showed up on my iPhone 4s 15 min ago but still nothing on my iPad 2.
Updat on the iPhone looks to be stalling at the end.
Downloading as I type this. OTA
Just showed up on iPad 2, and saying 25 min for download over FIOS. Lol
Done!! Time to enjoy!!!!!
All loaded up...time to play
Im downloading OTA... 2.4GB free needed? oh well.. delete songs till later.
Im jumping between 5 min and 2 hours remaining.
I am not going to be very productive today. Lol
For all you Mac owners I just got a Mountain Lion update with lots of new features as well!
I'm downloading it now =)
Downloading now on iPad 3rd ten & 4S
Downloading over WiFi/OTA on a iPod 4G as we speak. Got it around 1:10pm EST. jumped around with times to download for a bit am now at Preparing Update.
Gotta wait till after work to update :(
Taking a long time to prepare the update OTA....download was fast.
Done for both...only took a combine total of 30 minutes for my iphone 4s and new ipad. I guess passbook is not on the iPad.
iPad is done and iPhone4 is on its last phase of the update. The latter is taking much longer to download but is now quickly getting to the end.
took me 45 minutes to download the update and do a restore from my jailbreak
iPhone 4S and New iPad done. And awesome!
took my 4s 28 min to "prepare update"... now is installing
South Africa's internet has to be the slowest internet in the world... been downloading for an hour and a half almost and the time remaining just creeps up the whole time...
24 mins on both my iPad3 and 4S OTA.......still waiting until the download completes.
I started my OTA download at 12:45 PM Central time...just finished & am restarting the phone at 1:45 PM. I don't know what this really means time-wise as I'm using free public wi-fi at work. At least I didn't have issues like I did with iOS 5...well done, Apple.
I'm stuck in limbo. Completed the download and it finished the first reboot, but now I'm stuck on the a black screen/white Apple logo and progress bar, but it won't complete. I've been here for about 30 minutes. Suggestions?
Try a hard reset. Push home and power buttons simultaneously until Apple logo appears.
Never mind, it finally finished! Thanks for any assistance though :-F
Installing right now :) on my "new" Ipad
Got it about an hour ago in Northern NJ. Updated three devices including iPad. Working great on everything so far. Feels snappier to boot. What I love the most so far? No more having to put my Apple ID password in for each new app update. Updates on auto now. Sweet. Still playing around with stuff.
finally downloading ota! curious to see how good it will be since i have an iPhone 4 and not 4s
Got it on my iPhone 4 here in India. Too bad it won't come to my iPad 1 :-(
I started downloading it at 12.50 pm and got done at 1.20 pm and I did it OTA
I started downloading at 9:38 am PST on my iPhone 4S & iPad (3) at the same time and although it took awhile (about 2 hrs total) everything went well. Did notice that after OTA download I had to update many of my apps which took some time. I had made sure that all my apps were updated before the download but many more needed to be upgraded. Overall, not a bad experience.
Downloaded this a couple hours ago at work and everything seemed to be fine until I got home and now my iPhone wont connect to my wifi router. Wheni select it, it shows that I'm on wifi but couple seconds later it boots off and goes into 3G. I rebooted my phone and still the same thing. What should I do?
I try to download over the air and keep say the file failed.. When it is say update file wtf.. I been at this since 10am Ca.
Same here no wifi

That should be a draw, too bad they can't just score the fight like that. No clue who one the last round. Given the judging tonight, I am guess a 48-47, 47-48, 48-47 for Maia
Man, that was a boring fight. It's nearly 3.30 am here and I actually slept most of the fight.
Should be more draws ......
Wasn't pretty, but very impressive win by Shields given how Maia has been walking through people in the WW.
Dude, Im a wrestler. Im the best wrestler in MMA. Wrestling IS, was and always has been the most dominate form of mix martial art on the planet. Thats all there is to it. We all know it, some people want to fight it, some people want doubt it but wresters rule the MMA world. -
Ben Askren
Strange night in Brazil. Well, once again my picks sucked a dick.
1 was definitely Maia's.
Damn it. I wanted a loss for Shields.

From the scenic highland slopes of the Gayo Mountains near Laut Tawar in the Takengon region of Northern Sumatra, comes the exotically aromatic Takengon Sumatra coffee. There are over 200 small coffee producers who contribute to this very important OCIA certified organic coffee production. The farmers and communities of this remote region face a number of environmental and socio-economic challenges, including soil erosion, deforestation, low and unstable incomes. The organization, production, technical assistance and higher prices for certified organic coffee help these remote farmers by being able to generate a better income for themselves and improve the economic basis in the commmunities. The organic Sumatra Takengon semi-washed coffee is full bodied, slightly fruity, and clean with a sweet finish. This coffee is great as a varietal, blender and perfect for espresso. Current shortages of Sumatran coffee as well as recently unfavorable market conditions have contributed to a nearly 50% increase in the wholesale price of our new shipment, requiring us to raise the price.

Cheap ski holidays in hundreds of ski resorts worldwide.
Nb: infants must be under the age of 2 and
children must be under the age of 12 at the time of
This amazing chalet is spread over several floors on the side of a steep valley to take in the stunning views and as you would expect is very modern in style. Every room has a wall of glass so you can't help but be drawn to the beautiful views of Rendl Mountain opposite.
In a quiet location yet easily accessible (around a 10 minute downhill walk) to the slopes, lifts and resort centre. Don't forget you can store your ski/board equipment at the rental shop close to the central lift (free storage if rented, nominal charge if your own equipment) to make life easier. The ski bus stops close by for those that don't fancy the walk back to the chalet.
Another reason to jump at the chance of taking on this chalet is the fact it boasts an outdoor hot tub, can you think of a better way to unwind after an exciting ski day than by jumping in the hot tub and having those amazing views opposite! If that's not enough the chalet also boasts a sauna and wellness room.
The chalet benefits from separate sitting and dining rooms, so you can sit and relax in the sitting room over canapésand aperitifs whilst your chalet staff finish off their preparations for your dinner and again enjoy a coffee after dinner whilst they tidy away. The six bedrooms are all en suite and all have balconies.
Our Chalet staff have a well earned day off during your stay. On this day, breakfast and afternoon tea will be laid out for you to help yourself and you are free to sample one of the local restaurants in the evening - our staff will be pleased to help with recommendations and bookings.
Breakfast : Start your day with a hearty breakfast to fuel your day on the slopes, choose from a selection of cereals (not forgetting a bowl of porridge!), fresh fruit and yoghurts, freshly baked local bread and choice of preserves accompanied by fruit juices, tea and coffee. In addition, apart from chalet staff day off and change over day, enjoy a cooked "dish of the day" such as eggs and bacon (not a full English!).Afternoon tea : On your return from the slopes, pop the kettle on and help yourself to a teatime treat with a slice (or two!) of delicious home-made cake or biscuits.Dinner: Just imagine a casual dinner party with friends, now imagine that minus the stress of shopping, cooking, clearing up, ordering taxis, organising babysitters...... well now you can! Relax, your evening starts around 7.30pm swapping some ski tales and banter over canapes and aperitif followed by a delicious freshly cooked dinner with unlimited house wine until coffee to finish.
Our Chalet staff always aim to please and if given notice will as much as possible adapt their menus to your specific tastes and dietary requests however we cannot provide vegan, kosher, gluten and dairy free meals and cannot guarantee a nut free environment. We provide a vegetarian alternative for guests that don't eat meat or that evening choice of meat or fish. Please ensure that we know about any dietary requests well in advance of your holiday and that you are happy to compromise with our chalet menu and accept that we cannot offer a completely alternative menu for you.Children's Supper : We provide a child friendly supper at around 6pm for all children under 12years, if you have sole use of a chalet and you would prefer your children to eat a normal dinner with you at 8pm there is a upgrade ( at a supplement). For those in a shared chalet it is generally expected that under 12s would have the early supper.

Okay, so I admit that I've been focusing on the negative when it comes to this game and on top of that, I haven't followed the game hardly at all. I just picked up some of the bad things, such as faction locked races, factions in general, classes, and other things. Nevermind all of that, and let's talk RvR, since I finally decided to read up on the game at their website.
My first MMORPG ever was DAoC, and I started playing that in 2002. I played that game for years before switching to SWG. Now I never looked at DAoC as a PvP game like most others on this website did. I enjoyed the group grinding experience with the 40+ classes more than anything else, but I did enjoy the battlegrounds and some RvR.
A lot of people are getting hyped up about ESO having RvR and I wonder why. What about DAoC's RvR did you like specifically. The overall experience was definitely fun for a time and the best PvP I've been apart of in this genre, but I feel people are forgetting all the bad things aswell. I name some of them and you all give your own pros and cons I guess.
1. Buff Bots. I hated people who duo boxed, since it gave an unfair advantage to single account players like myself. However, I do think having distinct class roles in a group PvP game is important. (Buffers, controllers, healers, tanks, and dps)
2. 1 min mezzes and various stuns. One thing I hate the most in all MMORPG's concerning PvP is stunlocking. That's when several players jump on your ass and alternatly stun you so you can't fight back. Instant death. I think some limited stunning is fine, but there should be immunity. I actually much prefer body blocking and knockbacks and knockdowns ala WAR than lots of stunning.
3. Downtime. In RvR, you spent most of your time running around looking for a fight, or getting to where the fighting was. For veteran MMO players than have reduced the amount of time they play MMORPG's (ie. 3 hours or less per night on most nights) this can be a hinderance to getting into the real action. In a 3 hour time span in a RvR game, on a lot of nights, you may spend 2 hours of that just running around, getting back to a fight after respawning, or just looking for a fight in general.
4. Ranged trumps melee. In every RvR game, aside from WAR, ranged always has the advantage, whether it be 1v1 encounters where they kite, or keep and tower defense/offense. In WAR, tanks could taunt and perform knockbacks and knockdowns, so they were more useful. In SWTOR, melee have a variety of spells and abilities to close the gap and defend against range.
So that's about all the cons I can think of. I did enjoy the Realm Ranks alternative advancement system and I hope ESO has something like it, but I have my doubts. I also didn't like GW2's version of RvR and reminded me of the bad points in this kind of PvP system. Will be interested in hearing your thoughts.

1. I hate multi boxing too, should be a bannable offence imho
2. They've said that everyone gets a cc break that gives immunity to cc for a few secconds (I vaguely remember them saying 6 secconds somewhere, which seems long to me) but it costs stamina to use, so stun locking shouldnt be an issue
3. Yeah there needs to be a waypoint system thats not so close to the action that its just a zerg but not so far away as its a chore either imho
4. It's reticle aimed with a soft lock and theres also a dodge/roll for pvp too so melee shouldnt be at much of a disadvantage, plus we know that at least one melee class has a good gap closer, and if it becomes a range stand off you can always just use a ranged weapon and swap to a more range focussed deck

First i must say that I'm not really expecting AvA to feel like DAOC's RvR felt at the time. Back when I played DAOC it was my first real MMO, I still remember the first time I walked through the gates to the frontier, I was a complete MMO noob at the time (just running around seeing the world). It was awe inspriing to me then. Since then I've seen so much good and bad PVP, combat/CC systems, etc.. At this point it just comes down to PVP that is acceptable and gives my guild something to do for longer then a few months. We'll see if this turns out to be that...
Considering my viewpoint above, I can't really go back and look at DAOC's pitfalls and apply them toward ESO. It might not have any of the issues above, it could have them all, I'm not sure.
For me DAOC is at least 70% nostalgia, much like Pre-cu SWG is at this point, it's still fun, but it's no where near the experience I remember it as, simply because in my head I don't have to experience the drawbacks. As an example DAOC's controls...

1 I hate buff botters too
2 I actually think warhammer had the best cc system when they fixed it, short term aoe / cone cc, mid term single cc, all cc breAKs on damage. Especially the last part.
3 unless I'm playing a sandbox like eve, I think long walk is the best penalty for a hybrid / themepark. It's one of the things war got wrong, way too easy to reinforce.
4 I agree war had the best implementation of tanks in pvp, but daoc was ok, tanks were still usefull, the worst way to do tanks in pvp though is wow style "your armour is useless, just run around twating people with a 2 hander"
To sumarise daoc is one of the best 2 mmo games for pvp, along with eve.
But it also for the time very well looked after pveers, I preferred it pve wise to EQ, maybe ac was better though. It also looked after explorers & crafters.
Many games have tried to replicate its pvp, but have failed.
War, only 2 sides, too easy to reinforce, segmented.
Aion, ultimately all about the raid grinders
Aoc, buggy as fuck
Tsw, too small, too chumy in pve
Gw2, no rivalry due to no names and server shuffle, too rez zergy (though did bring back long walk)
Swtor, LOL
The closest was planetside 1, which is my 3rd favourite mmo.
Other games the come fairly close are planetside 2, chaos online and rf online

I could probably go on and on and on about open RvR for hours, but ill keep my points short but in my experience there is certain things the game needs for long last engaging RvR.
Combat, combat is at the top of my list, but i dont believe its the most important factor, but the combat cant be bland, there needs to multiple roles and playstles and all need to be viable, when a player gets board of something, they can try out something else.
Map design, maps need to have variety to them, they cant all be the same boring designs, there needs to be heaps of different variations between bases for different strategies. But on bases, the maps need to be large enough so battles flow and well, 3 factions helps this, but as we saw in PS2, there's not a great deal of flow to them, unlike PS1.
Supply and meta game, the game cant all be just combat and fighting for bases, there needs to be some meta game and enchantments to the layers of the matagame, i think supply be it through PS1's ANT or GW2s yaks, these offer very good layers to combat, allowing escorts of supply, interceptions of supply and the sieging of bases, draining supply.
Individual Goals and win condition, i think having a global win condition for a faction can be bad, especially if that win can be foreseen like a points tally in GW2, it makes people give upand feel like they're loosing, this may seem carebear of me, but iv spent along time playing PvP's and people or factions that are loosing stop playing, thats bad, while a global win condition for a faction probably can exist, an individual player still needs to be rewarded or have another goal so they feel like they have accomplished something, even in a loss. I think games should ahve a great deal of different goals to suit different players, from faction domination, achievements, leader boards, renown ranks to seeking the perfect itemisation of gear.
thats my main points of problems i always have with PVP MMORPGs.

Is this game Dark age of camelot 2?
This forum seems to talk only about that game. Hey, isnt daoc still running? Then might wanna go play it instead?
Must it be excactly like daoc with new graphics? Really?? Is the Elder Scrolls games really that bad? Really??
When I first heard about this game I thought; "Oh dear, I love mmo's, I love the Elder scrolls singleplayer games and and..... there will be 3 factions? Didn't they have that in DaoC? Oh yes and people still claiming that the pvp was very very good in that game. Awesome, this sounds like the game for me" -That was til I started visiting the Elder Scrolls Online forums on this site.
I never ever had anything against DaoC or their players. I respected their community, the devs of that game and well... anything surrounding that game. And the pvp as I mentioned, is consider one of the best. So what I've heard.
But now, on different threads it seems like people who actually like the Elder Scroll part of this game are hardly even welcomed. Now this is DaoC Part Two!!!
Exploring?? What are you talking about, move along this game aint for you! Or reroll and reroll again!
Dungeon?? Go play WoW or something!
Roleplaying?? Go play Lord of the Rings or whatever!!
This game is 3 faction pvp!!! DaoC is back!!
This whole thing has just made me a little sad and wonder if I should just keep on playing the mmo I'm allready busy with and forget about all this...
The lore,
the exploration,
the dungeons,
the beautiful scenery,
the roleplaying,
the nostalgia,
the quests,
the pvp with three factions, yes, it actually sounds FUN!!
ooh and the music!!!
Hey, this is 3 faction pvp DaoC Style!! Skip the rest of your crappy list or move along!
But but.... I just... I mentioned three factions pvp sounded like fun...
Shut it!!!

DAOC was the first mmo I ever played. I've played every game under the sun and I will tell you why DAOC RvR is the best ever in my opinion.
1) FIrst of all it was completely open. If you enjoyed zerging you took keeps, and had your zerg vs zerg combat. I was a 8v8 type player and my guild would run around looking for other 8v8 groups. Which could easily be setup through the VNboards which is old school I know.
2) There is no other game that has the abilty to have a never ending character. Every game these days follows the same montra. Do pvp to get pvp gear so ur stats are better while you pve. That's it. DAOC had realm points, which allowed you to get realm abilites that could be used in pve and pvp thus allowing you to forever advance your character. The game wasn't based around gear as much as being skilled for lack of better words.
3) I have no idea why other MMO's don't copy this idea. The dungeon Darkness Falls. It was a dungeon that could only acessed by controlling the most terrority. This is amazing because it makes people have to PvP to get to the PvE content thus tying the 2 worlds together. So if you wanted to get that awesome piece of gear you had to not only gain acess, but also clean the dungeon out of baddies.
4) Battlegrounds were amazing. I hate how everygame has instanced pvp. DAOC did it right by having a zone you could zone into anytime and battle people around your level in a small non-stop open play area. So sometimes it was dead sometimes it was packed. And you had that nice keep in the middle to have as an objective. Also I must mention here you got really good xp while killing people. I see so many "PvP" servers in game being carebear because they just want to kill their 10 mobs and move on DAOC was the only game where people were ruthless. I.E. I'm level 21 and im with a couple of same level friends. I see a guy xping whoes 7-8 levels higher. If we manage to kill the guy we get heeeeps of xp. So it makes people want to actually be competitive. But back on topic
5) Class systems in this game were amazing. If you were a tank, you literally were a tank. You had terrible dps and no ability to heal. Same as a healer, you had no dps and could only heal and buff. I love this because games like Rift make it to where everyone can do anything. This doesn't promote grouping unless if you were running dungeons. If i'm a tank or a dps, I WANT to group with a healer or a hybrid healer because it will make my leveling experience better, but as far as RvR it made it better because you had a very distinctive role in pvp. Alot of people don't want to level multi chars, but DAOC didn't make the 1-50 a killer grind towords it's peek years. So you can roll multiple characters np to enjoy in pve and pvp.
6) Every realm had their own classes. It took some time to balance, but once it was balanced it was amazing. It's not like everyyyy other game different races all the same classes.
Those are just a few points about that game. Every game these day is all about getting gear that's it. It's not about a the being able to get more spells and abilities that make your character stronger. And these abilties were useable in PvE and RvR, just really was amazing and so orginal. If a game could be made that could take some of the new age ideas and mix it with the unique RvR/exp experience of daoc it would be a home run. I know daoc players know what i'm talking about.
PS. Yah my grammer sucks, thank you Sailor Jerry

Alas, it'll never happen if only because people don't like to group grind, and developers won't be bothered to create 40+ different classes.

1. Putting buffs on a tether was a good move. Back in the early days when you could just buff at the gate and then take off to the other side of the frontier it was a bit ridiculous. But having to have the toon with the buffs near you at all times balanced it out a bit. Having said that, there was an insanely tight multiboxing guild on my server who I watched singlehandedly defend a keep successfully as an 8 man group (with only 4 actual players) against upwards of 200 enemies for over 2 hours using choke points and ridiculous AOE damage. It didn't really seem right that this should be the case with just 4 people multiboxing...but it was bloody brilliant to watch.
2. I loved mezzing...although they did get really irritating when you didn't have purge. But the thing I liked about it is that a good, organised group could really turn the tides in a fight with a good mez. Whereas a good mez by an unorganized group was really just a bit of a waste. Don't get me wrong, I did like the CC in WAR much better overall, but I do miss the tactics used around having a good mezzer in your group.
3. See, now, I don't view this as a negative at all. I loved the idea of having to regroup after a fight. Tactically, it makes so much more sense than a constant rush from a portal. I don't want to have to run all the way from my home realm, but in a game that centers around siege combat and defense, having the downtime actually allows you to accomplish your objective in a more strategic way. You win the initial fight, you converge and take a door down, you regroup to defend, you win the fight, you take the next door down, etc. This was a major flaw with WAR, since you were always just a skip and a jump away from a keep whenever you respawned which meant nearly constant reinforcements and called for much less teamwork to achieve your goal.
4. Not entirely true. It depends on the type of range and the type of melee you're talking about. Attacking a shield tank as a ranger or scout in DAOC was silly since the high block just took away most of your damage, and if they had a bubble caster with them forget it. Once they charge you, you're toast unless you could outrun them. Most of the highest realm rank players on my server were melee dps....zerkers (pre-nerf), mercs, blademasters and the like. Played well, they could rip most any other class apart. Two-handed tanks were really nasty as well. I didn't find it was range that trumped anything in particular in DAOC, but it was the CC/AOE combinations...which goes back to your second point. If they can balance the CC, still providing some good tactical use for groups but not resulting in complete incapacitation to the same level as DAOC did, it should prove to be pretty good. But I suppose that's easier said than done. =)
One other thing I'll mention that I had a love/hate relationship with in DAOC was /stick. While I actually liked it since it kept you on your intended target amidst a couple hundred other players on the battlefield, it made things far too easy in some situations. Particularly when it came to positional combat. And it let you be lazy. Having a /follow command I have no issues with, but /stick was more than a bit broken.

Imagine the outcry from them if a DAoC 2 had been developed and had elements of TES forced into it in a way which seriously impacted on the way 3-faction PvP had worked in DAoC 1.
The boards would be flooded with tears and vitriol...
I thinks it's likely the PvP will be good. I can't see why not.
It's a shame they had to frack one of the best things about the incredibly successful IP they are using to do it.
The obvious implication of this thread's title is of course this;

Hey Southern CA members - and anyone else who wants to join us down here!
Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 20, 2006. We'll be having the Walk-A-Thon in beautiful, sunny Santa Barbara! We'll kick off the walk at 10am in Chase Palm Park at the carousel. We'll have a nice 1.5 mile walk along the beach until we reach the Bird Refuge where we'll turn around and come back to the park. A total of 3 miles - beautiful scenery though I promise[8D]. It's all along a paved path, strollers won't be a problem.
The Police Department was very generous to waive any fees - more profit for the PF then! What I need help with are sponsors and walkers! Registration brochures should be available to us by the end of the week, I'll keep you posted.
I know Santa Barbara may be a bit out of the way for some of you - I'm trying to work with some of the local hotels to get a discounted rate for anyone wanting to make a weekend out of it.
I will post updates here as they become available. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me anytime at email@example.com . If you have ideas/comments/suggestions - please let me know!!!

The midfielder is alleged to have demanded a £3.5million pay-off to end his contract and push through a permanent switch to France.
However, Barton has taken to Twitter to play down the claims, insisting he has not had any such conversation with the club's hierarchy.
"A lot of rumours circulating about me, Marseille and QPR in last few days. As usual loads of #nonsense," he tweeted.
"I haven't had a conversation with anyone at QPR since February. When I told them Marseille had offered me 3 years. That was last I heard."
The 30-year-old impressed in his first season with L'OM, despite suffering several injuries in what turned out to be a frustrating campaign at times.
And Barton ended his discussion on the topic with a message for his current employer: "They know where I am if they want to talk."

Bamboo Tongs 1 1
just okay I usually love everything I get from World Market, this is a great site with wonderful and unique products. However, I wasn't especially pleased with this particular purchase. The tips of these tongs don't line up nicely, which is not exactly a big deal but it does bother me. I even tried steaming them into proper alignment with no luck. It's only maybe 3 or 4 mm off but I'd never have bought them, even as inexpensive and otherwise nice as they are, if I'd seen them in the store instead of on the website. It's probably just a fluke but just to let you know... August 19, 2013

BOONE, N.C. --- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's soccer team fell 5-0 to Appalachian State in Southern Conference action Friday evening at the Appalachian Soccer Stadium. The Mocs fall to 4-8 overall and 0-5 in league play while the Mountaineers improve to 6-4-2 on the season and 3-0-2 against SoCon opponents.
The Mocs, hit by the injury bug hard this season, had just five subs off the bench including the keeper. Chattanooga's No. 3 scorer, sophomore Hannah Wyatt (Soddy Daisy, Tenn.) suffered a season-ending injury against Davidson while the team's leading scorer junior Crystal Mackezyk (Columbia, Tenn.) was forced to watch from the sidelines tonight.
"We're very, very injured in key positions. It's hard to play against teams with large numbers," UTC head coach J.D. Kyzer said. "They dressed 33 and played 26. We just don't have those numbers, but I'm so proud of our kids. They have such a great attitude and put forth tremendous effort.
Four Chattanooga players tallied two shots each with a combined five shots on goal in the loss with sophomore Melanie Arredondo (Tampico, Mexico) putting both of hers on goal with one glancing off the crossbar. Sophomore Loryn Queen (Lanesville, Ind.) got past ASU's keeper but got the shot cleared off the line by the Mountaineer defense.
Senior keeper Taylor Mangrum (Franklin, Tenn.) made four saves while giving up four goals in 50:33. Sophomore Lauren Thomas (Germantown, Tenn.) stepped in making four saves as well in her 39:27 while allowing just one goal on the night.
The Mountaineers scored twice in the first half to lead 2-0 at the break. The first goal came in the 12th minute by Julia Holz on a pass sent in by Merlin Beckwith and flicked on by Jane Cline for her sixth goal of the season. The second goal was just a few minutes later when Beckwith sent a pass to Sam Neill just inside the box for the score.
Holz assisted on the third goal for Appalachian State who scored just over one minute into the second half on a cross to Samantha Childress for her seventh goal of the year. ASU would again score quickly to go up 4-0 in the 51st minute. Cline headed in a shot passed from Beckwith at the 50:33 mark of the game.
ASU's final goal came in the 85th minute off a corner from Jenni Loveless to Jamie Lockie who flicked the shot in for the final 5-0 margin. ASU keeper Megan Roberson made two saves in the first half and Amy Kowolsky made one in the second while the team was credited with a pair of saves.
"There were times tonight where we had total control, but we made mistakes and they were able to capitalize on them," Kyzer said. "They were a very aggressive, attacking team."
ASU outshot Chattanooga 18-8 with a 13-5 shots on goal advantage. The Mountaineers had eight shots in the first half to the Mocs' six, but went 10-2 on shots in the second half. Both teams took three corner kicks and the two were evenly matched on called fouls at 12 apiece.
Chattanooga returns to action Sunday at home when it hosts Western Carolina. The game is set to kick off at 2 p.m. Admission is free. Live stats and video/audio streaming will be available at GameDay Central on GoMocs.com.
Scoring summary:
No. Time Team Goal scorer Assist

It has a slight sheen to it–I wouldn't say it's completely matte–and really rich, vibrant fuchsia pink with blue undertones. The color coverage is excellent, and it really takes no more than a pass and a half or so to get even, full color coverage.

this year i read this book fantastic!
I have just started my first reading of this!
The Shining is one I could never get enough of...
I re-read Shining and just love it so far.
Brilliant book, just love the way Jack Torrance degenerates and the general spookiness of the hotel. Must do a re-read
Just started this book last night. There are many classic SK books that I haven't read yet, so it's time to get at them. Too many other writers and titles that occupied my time over the years, now that it's pretty much just Dean Koontz and SK these days, I'm making up ground.
Halfway point. I grew up with the movie, which I thought was really, REALLY good, but now I'm seeing that much is missing and/or altered (necessary build-up of emotions, important elements of the back story). And I still picture the actors in my head when reading (kind of hard not too). Having seen/read interviews from SK about what he was going through personally when he wrote this book, it makes the anger and resentment of some of the characters seem that much richer.
Just finished it. Wow. Very good.
Chapter 36 (The Elevator) was by far the creepiest part of the book. The suspense throughout the whole story was well built, cascaded well into the climax. I will admit there are parts of the movie that I like better than the book, but there's definitely better character development in the written work. Overall, I think the book would have shot my socks farther across the room if I hadn't seen the movie a million times beforehand. Book and movie are equal, for different reasons. Now bring on Doctor Sleep!
As far as atmosphere goes, one can't do much better than this book. The creepiness of it alone makes it worth reading.

B_TIf I may ask what church is this?
This story was never known to Tentmaker's communty. Actually, my life changed much while I got my girlfriend and she's the person I'm going to marry some day ... The problem is that we are watched into her church as we have sinned deeply...Her father says: You mustn't kiss him! You are not allowed to... My daughter is not supposed to be in hell! She is not going to hell... But you have sinned..So it's a tricky situation as you see...I NEVER believed that a single kiss will send us to hell... I just never believed it... But anyway, we are not supposed to kiss each others, right? Or we are the damned ones...
doesn't marriage mean MORE than just the marriage of a man and woman?
Yes their is the other marriage that is written about. Just to clarify, I was writing about a marriage between a man and a woman, here on earth and in the flesh.Again, I don't want to make a big deal of this, I just want to distinguish what is right in Gods eyes, and what society and tradition would have us believe is right in Gods eyes. Marriage is certainly sanctified and I don't want to downplay this in any way, but the sanctified marriage that I am talking about does not conform to modern standards but rather to what is pleasing in Gods eyes.
Religious people that wear their eternal damnation on their sleeves are on my last nerves for the day. Ah-well. Time for some tea and to get some shut eye, before I get brutally honest about my feelings about eternal hellers that'll threaten a kiss with being eaten by worms and pitchforks, and having smoke coming out of one's rear end by the Lord forever and ever and ever.

Anna continues to be fed via Gtube most of the time. She
still has some vomiting from time to time also. She ended up vomiting and developing aspiration pneumonia:( We were very lucky that we were able to be treated outpatient and so avoided hospital time. Because Anna is still having problems with reflux we have been referred to the surgeon for a possible Nissen Fundoplication. It is where they take the top portion of the stomach and wrap it around the esophagus and stitch it together. I am not sold on the surgery yet and am actually quite scared. If you are the praying type please keep us in your prayers. I need wisdom and guidance to make the right decision about this. We see the surgeon at 10 tomorrow morning.
Anna will be having a nissen fundoplication and pyloroplasty. The pyloroplasty will involve cutting the muscle that connects the stomach to the small intestine so that food will empty out of her stomach faster since she has some delayed gastric emptying. We do not have a definite date yet. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers!
