well just to add my opinion based on the OP
1) i agree about the feeling of progression and the available PvP skills, fe if you lose the rank you lose the ability to use the skill, how you lose the rank ? from deaths ! what skill could be ? being able to be commander/leader, to summon siege machines and for sure cosmetics, there the GW2 lacks (they said they will change it), other games offered statistics improves which was even worse..
2) i have seen that in Aion, it was really bad and builded bigger gasp between the loser and the winner ...
3) on this i agree, only EVE is taking serious on that though, i hope Anet will succeed ...
4) really are you serious ? this is totally wrong and open the doors for exploits large duration for CC its terrible mechanic, if there is a zerg you cant win it, its simple ..! and all this about trinity again its faulse check this video, and if you search in the youtube vs zerg in gw2 you will see many videos
5) i agree on this point although the fight against hackers/exploiters its constantly
6) i agree on this too !!! also the chat between the enemies ..! thist started with WoW and in keeps in GW2 in the fear of abusive language which is faulse cause there are already banned words ... and report mechanics through screenshots ...
7) only in Warhammer online i have seen this feature ... i hope i wont see that again !
8) well that was major problem in Aion .. in GW2 you need only one week of hardcore gaming to make a set of exotics : )
9) this statement about DaoC its extreme, it reminds me and my friends in AgeofEmpires II we were playing lan parties and it was awesome and we had hot competitions, but when we got in online games we were struggle to stick through medium rank players : / as i see the skill in GW2 its really big cause beyond the builds and skill rotations you use you have to be able to use the enviroment and to dodge attacks or block like we see in AoC or in TESO (i hope.. ) was there in DaoC mechanics to avoid enemy attacks ? or the fights were just static like in WoW ? personally the Lineage II had much more better and intensive PvP system .... and i miss it on its early stage with the war declaration between guilds the appointed sieges and the open world system with karma ....

The key to good open world pvp is simple. Don't put in battlegrounds or any sort of instanced pvp. Once you do that why would anyone choose open world pvp when rewards are much easier to get in battlegrounds.
I think it is fine ot have pvp and pve gear, just make the distinction. This was something that WoW did very well after introducing pvp gear.

One key to DAoC frontiers was that it encompassed PvP AND PvE. Yes there was Darknessfalls (awesome feature!) but XP was also increased in the frontier. Sure you could level to 50 in the safe zones and never have to PvP, but you could also sneak out through the gates and try some frontier PvE for increased rewards. It made the game feel more alive and increased that feeling of a Realm at war. The damn Albion bastards were lurking out there, possibly behind the next tree....
Auto leveling to 50 in the PvP area would appear to preclude that from being a feature in ESO...

Starvault's reponse to criticism related to having a handful of players as the official "test" team for a supposed MMO: "We've just have another 10ish folk kind enough to voulenteer added tot the test team" (SIC) This explains much about the state of the game :-)

Except I'm not, its why most games moved away from long duration CC in PvP. I played DAOC and the CC was a joke. So very cheap, but there were no other alternatives for PvP at the time. Don't get me wrong, it did other stuff well, but CC was not one of them.
Back in EQ2 when they first introduced PvP and I could CC large groups as my Illusionist while I picked them off one by one. That wasn't skillful, it was cheap, and I'm not too proud to admit it. There was nothing skillful about me targetting someone and clicking a button that took them out of the action while I killed their friends. Its about as sporting as hunting a deer with no legs.

A little behind, but really good post OP, you hit the nail on the head of 90% of the issues with other games that were similar.
The only thing I believe I like the idea of is leveled items from ToA, but they should NOT take months of camping or "activation" to aquire. It should flow naturally, as you level and PvP your weapon/shield/armor piece levels with you. Make it accessible to get, accessible to level. Do not make it necessary to have. Make it on par with other items of the level, but maybe give it inspectable lore, or a special graphic. Optional leveled items are fun, I enjoyed leveling them in EQ and to an extent DAoC after they made artifacts MUCH easier to level.

As far as I understand, TESO does not have OWPvP... it has a specific area dedicated to PvP, much like GW2.
If they gave us the chance to at least venture into other factions' lands, that would make for some interesting OWPvP. Having to go into a specific central area and be leveled to lvl 50 to PvP is a snooze.
I had some of the most fun OWPvP playing Lineage 2's second Chronicle... solo, in groups, GvG...

I love daoc CC, it was great.
However I also loved early wow CC, long duration, but only 1 character can mezz 1 enemy, so having more than 1 CCer was really usefull.
I think something like that would satisfy both sides of the argument.
The way mmo's were: Community, Exploration, Character Development, Conquest.
The way mmo's are now : Cut-Scenes,Cut-Scenes, solo Questing, Cut-Scenes...

I loved DAoC CC once they fixed it.
Initially it was a nightmare. Stuns were un-breakable and chainable. Midgard was rightly re-labelled 'Stungard'.
Then they added ways to resist/diminish CC (determination) and to break it if it did land (purge, cure mez spells). They shortened the duration of stuns and, most importantly, added an immunity timer when the CC broke.
This made CC a tactical decision. Hit them with a root or mez first to see if you can get some to blow their purges. Then hit them with the stun.
And god help anyone who broke your perfectly timed and placed AE mez: 'Grats, noob, you just granted them all immunity!'.
I found this far more acceptable than the current trend of being CCed for 3 seconds every 4 seconds. Longer CC also gave me a chance to take a breathe, survey the situation and plan what I'd do a minute when I came out of it.
The individual TTK was also longer in DAoC. This meant that in a 1 on 1 fight being stunned didn't guarantee your death. Nowadays if the rogue/assassin stuns you for 4 seconds that's more than enough time to make the rest of the fight un-winnable for you without outside interferance.
I agree with a lot of what was said, but to be fair, pre-ToA had problems too. Mez was the king of battles, and whoever got off their AoE mez first usually won. Realm rank became not just a nice addition, but absolutely vital to PvP success; new level 50s were cannon fodder in RvR and that turned off a lot of casual players, who were leaving the game even before ToA drove them away.
Also, while its nice to have different classes with different abilities in different realms, it creates a balance nightmare. DAoC was never balanced. Not even close. It just became a never-ending nerf contest, as some classes became FotM and were eventually replaced by others. People like the idea of different classes with different abilities, but they dont face the reality that balancing those classes across realms is inherently almost impossible. I hope they stick with an elder scrolls approach, where all abilities and classes are available to all realms, and its just a matter of what class you choose and how you spend your points/skill up. Its is hard enough to balance the basic classes (fighter, thief, healer, mage) in PvE and PvP much less balance different classes across realms.
I like the elder scrolls and I loved DAoC (despite its flaws), so I hope they succeed. But people looking for a hardcore PvP game will probably be disappointed. Hardcore PvP types are the most vocal, but the big money is with the casual/semi-casual players because they vastly outnumber the hardcore types. They need to create a fun, balanced game that encourages endgame PvP but doesnt drive away the casual player in the process.

I like your post, but would the PvP only kills objective eventually not mean you have to be a DPS class to make proper progression in PvP? Healers, tanks, CC, etc type of clases would all have problems. How do you suggest they balance this?
If I heal someone. would I get this kill?
Would I get a kill if I tank someone while he is attacking me and he dies?
If someone is frozen because of my CC would I get the kill?

That is completely and totally wrong. Did you even play pre-ToA DAoC? AoE mez was devastating. The first group to get their AoE mez off usually won, and won easily. Bards and Healers especially dominated the outcome of PvP battles. The idea that the only people who complained about it were baddies/newbies is just ludicrous. If that was the case, they wouldnt have added realm rank skills to dispel CC (which were vital to playing RvR) and they wouldnt have added diminishing returns. They changed those things because of massive complaints from the player base. You should have seen the forums! And most of those complaints were from experienced players, because the casual players usually didnt bother to post in the forums. But when you were in raid chat, you would hear those complaints over and over and over. Except maybe from Healers and Bards and Sorcerors, LOL.

I read posts on MMORPG.com forums every day at breakfast while sipping my coffee. I rarely log-in to make any comments or replies.
The points raised in this post, however, require every person out there unhappy with the post-WoW mmo market to take a minute to login and reply with support to the Original Poster.
I put my signature at every point he raised about the mistakes of the past attempts, and about how an open-world PvP world should be.
Please devs, heed our calls, identify and utilize the best features of these ancient relics such as DaoC and Shadowbane - there is no need to reinvent the wheel - just take them and give them back to us.

Thank you. This is exactly what I mean. You were CC'ed longer (which gave you time to observe and prepare your strategy) but you knew once it wore off you would have immunity for a minute. In other games you get CC'ed again and again repeatedly which is a lot more frustrating.

Gaming should be about fun, not gender equality.
I agree with most except one aspect. You need to involve PvE in PvP because otherwise things like Dungeon Falls type of dungeons would be pointless to fight over. Why would you do PvP to gain good PvE if the PvE does not yield you any PvP rewards?
So imo the PvE needs to be intermingled with PvP so that you PvP over useful PvE areas so that in turn fuels your PvP ability.

I did play a sorc. We lost a lot of fights even in cases where I got perfect 1+ minute mezzes off. There were many counters like individual purges, group purge (hibs), demezzes, instant mezzes and roots used defensively, mass healers (mid), determination, charge(later) etc. The perfect mezz worked perfectly only on newbie groups or when catching your enemies directly after a close fight.

in a minute, your entire group could be dead. A minute is an eternity to stand there and watch your group get focus-fired down one by one. This really turned off a lot of players, its why Midgard was nicknamed Stungard as the other poster noted. The idea that the only people that werent happy with this were newbies/baddies is just ludicrous. Everyone but cc classes hated it. I honestly dont think you played the game that far back, otherwise you would know that.

OAK RIDGE, Tenn, Aug. 26, 2013 -- Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Neutron Sciences Directorate (NScD), home organization for the Department of Energy's Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) and High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR), has filled two high-level administrative positions with leaders in the neutron scattering field.
Rob McQueeney, recently with Iowa State University and DOE's Ames Laboratory, has been named NScD's deputy associate laboratory director. Alan Tennant, currently with the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin in Germany, has been named chief scientist for the NScD.
"We welcome Rob and Alan to the ORNL neutron science family and look forward to the expertise and ideas they will contribute to the ongoing establishment of ORNL as the world's premier laboratory for neutron scattering research," said Associate Laboratory Director for Neutron Sciences Kelly Beierschmitt.
Intense beams of neutrons produced by the SNS and HFIR are ideally suited to the study of the atomic and molecular structure of advanced materials related to biology, chemistry, physics and engineering. The two facilities' broad range of analytical instruments attracts visiting researchers from academia and industry worldwide.
McQueeney most recently worked as a professor of physics and astronomy at Iowa State University and as a senior physicist at Ames Laboratory. He also worked at the Lujan Neutron Scattering Center at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
In 2011 he was selected for an assignment at the DOE Scientific User Facilities Division in the X-ray and Neutron Scattering Facilities Program. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society and has published more than 100 papers using both neutron and x-ray scattering techniques to explore novel magnetic materials, such as high-temperature superconductors.
McQueeney, who begins at ORNL on Oct. 1, will support Beierschmitt in developing and directing the scientific user programs and instrument and neutron source operational programs at the Spallation Neutron Source and the High Flux Isotope Reactor, two of the world's leading facilities for neutron scattering analysis of materials.
Tennant, who has served as speaker of the magnetism division and of the user platform at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, recently was among six researchers who shared the Europhysics Prize, Europe's leading recognition for condensed matter physics, for work at the Berlin research reactor BER II.
Tennant was also the Keeley-Rutherford Research Fellow at Wadham College, Oxford University, and at Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory in the United Kingdom, and taught condensed matter physics at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland. He was a postdoctoral student at ORNL from 1996 to 1998, during which he won the lab's technical achievement award.
He will report to Beierschmitt and begins at ORNL in November.
UT-Battelle manages ORNL for the Department of Energy's Office of Science.

Orchestras are made up of numerous moving parts. There are the woodwinds, strings, brass, percussion and conductor. Earle Folger said that all of the components need to be in-tune for the finished product to work smoothly.
"You have to look at an orchestra as a community. All the individuals have roles and when everyone plays their role, you have a town."
The Church of Christ deacon related the metaphor to 1 Corinthians 12:12-31 that reads of the body functioning as an ensemble of many parts with equal significance.
Folger makes up two parts of the Summerville Community Orchestra's body: percussionist and equipment manager.
Before and after each performance he is running to unload the chairs, stands and equipment before setting it up and unloading again. He does get help from time to time, but the brunt of the work falls on his shoulders and he said the plight comes with the territory.
"Drummers always get stuck with cleaning and loading stuff up. Other musicians think that because we are packing up all of our stuff, that we might as well do the rest of it."
A native of Brevard, N.C. in the western part of the state, Folger began playing drums in high school after being denied his dream instrument by his middle school band teacher.
"Every boy wants to play the drums growing up," he said. "My band teacher told me I couldn't because I didn't pass the drums part of our test so I took up trumpet instead."
Once he started playing the drums in ninth grade, he hit the ground running. Folger played in the marching and concert bands along with a "rock and roll country" band named "Cowboy."
His love of performing is the feeling of being part of a group, he said.
He attended UNC-Greensboro where he played in the band before transferring to Clemson, an hour outside of Brevard.
With an engineering degree in hand, he went to work for the Charleston Naval Shipyard. After six years he returned to school, earning his masters degree in engineering from the University of North Carolina.
Folger returned to the Lowcountry to become an environmental engineer with the Air Force.
He took a 20-year hiatus from percussion, as he was unable to find a practice and performing schedule that fit around his work, family life and volunteer work as a deacon. It wasn't until 2007 that he found the SCO.
"Your ability to read music is always there, it's the practicing to get back to your proficiency level that is hard," he said.
He cited music director Alex Agrest's energy as one of the reasons he enjoys playing in the SCO.
"The energy is projected from Alex to the musicians to the audience back to us, the flow is pretty unique," he said. "How it's performed, Alex has created quite a musical group and the quality of music is exceptional."
Whether it is drumming or unloading equipment, Folger is simply doing his best to be another part of the orchestra's body.

Hilbert Volleyball Opens UVC Play
- Release Date:
- February 7, 2011
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Buffalo, NY – Despite a 16 kills, five dig and three service ace effort from freshman Adam Weaver (Stow, OH/Archbishop Hoban) Hilbert College men's volleyball team dropped its United Volleyball Conference (UVC) opener to SUNYIT 3-0 (25-20, 27-25, 25-19) at D'Youville College February 5. In the second contest of the weekend, this time played Sunday at Medaille College's Sullivan Center, the Hawks fell to sixth-ranked Stevens Institute of Technology (NJ) 3-0 (25-13, 25-16, 28-26) with leadership from senior setters. After the weekend, the Hawks drop to0-7 and 0-2 in UVC.
SUNYIT had Hilbert's number earning their second consecutive three-set sweep of the Hawks in this short season to date. Jeff Coon had a .60 hitting percentage as well as two service aces, but it was Ryan Meller's 13 kills and seven blocks to lead the Wildcats to victory. RJ Sykora (Stow, OH/Stow-Munroe Falls) passed for 16 assists, most of them to Weaver in the first two sets.
On Sunday, Sykora and fellow senior, Dan Wolfe (Rochester, NY/Irondequoit) shared setting duties passing for a combined total 32 of the team's 33 assists. Sykora's six kills, five dig, 17 assist and .214 hitting percentage led the balanced attack. Weaver pounded the ball for 15 kills while sophomore libero Gary Gawera (Eden, NY/Eden) found a team-high six digs for the Hawks. Stevens' Jon Rohan hit .412 with 11 kills and five digs helping the Ducks grab their first UVC win in two tries improving to 7-2 overall.
Hilbert travels to cross-town rival Medaille College February 9 for a 7pm non-conference game against a UVC opponent. Then the Hawks will travel to Beverly, MA to participate in the Endicott College ten-team tournament over the weekend of February 12 and 13.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations.

These set instantly so if you do want to blend for a softer look, you are left tugging away at your lids quite roughly. On the positive side, these are great, long-wearing shadows on their own and are great as bases for other shadows that crease or need help to show up or both! I loved these like made when I first got them but since then, and since finding the Tarte and Sephora shadow pencils which have all the good qualities and also remain blendable for a minute or so, I haven't been using my UD pencils nearly as much. Having said that, Underground is a great brown pencil with so many uses. It doesn't lean red at all – it's fairly neutral to cool in tone and so it's a shade I can wear quite well on the lid or in the crease or as a "one step and out the door" type product.
I was in love with the UD 24/7 shadow pencils when they first came out because they were SO long-wearing and were multi purpose products that worked as eye shadows, non-creasing and colour enhancing bases for other shadows and also as long lasting eye liners on me (they last better than some of the 24/7 pencil liners on me). Over time, though, I became less and less thrilled with how hard these are to blend out without yanking and tugging on my lids. Rehab is one of the more easy to blend shades and it is a lovely shade of taupe brown. I do enjoy using this pencil but do wish it stayed blendable for more than 1/50th of a second!
Big and blendable, this 2-in-1 waterproof 24/7 shadow pencil keeps going as long as you do. Our next generation of famous 24/7 pencils can be used as eyeshadow, eyeliner, or both! They're crease-proof, they're waterproof… it's the next generation of 24/7 Pencils! Our Shadow Pencils deliver incredible color payout, but feel lightweight. The new fat shape allows you to cover large areas more quickly. Use the thin tip as eyeliner, or the side of the tip as a generous swipe of eyeshadow. Luscious drop-dead shades make you feel every inch the creative type, as you blend shimmer, cream and sparkle finishes. Skip the powder shadow brushes and water – our pencils make it easier than ever to get vibrant eyeshadow looks on the go. Experiment with multiple shades layered together, then blend away for an unbelievable effect that sets and stays put. All shades are paraffin, mineral oil, and paraben-free.

Last week, Adobe announced that it will stop developing the Flash Player for mobile devices. It may seem like a surprising news, but the most convincing reason to create Flash apps and sites is Flash's installed base. Because of the popularity of YouTube and other sites that require Flash, most computer users install the Flash Player (99% of the Internet-enabled computers, according to Adobe).
That's not the case when it comes to mobile devices: Flash Player can only be installed in Android 2.2+, Blackberry PlayBook and HP webOS. According to Adobe, "by the end of 2010, over 35 models of smartphones were certified for Flash Player, and over 20 million smartphones either shipped with or downloaded Flash Player." The estimated percentage for Flash-enabled mobile devices shipped in 2011 is 36%. Since Apple's iOS devices and Windows Phone devices won't include support for Flash, it's obvious that Flash can't become ubiquitous on mobile devices. In fact, right now, it's mostly limited to Android and that's exactly what Adobe doesn't want to achieve.
Adobe's biggest mistake was that it assumed that Flash could be a great option for building mobile web apps. The mobile Flash Player was useful to load pages that required Flash, but that's because users didn't have other options. The experience wasn't great, scrolling was jerky, Flash objects looked disconnected from the rest of the page, so it was a good idea to only load Flash content on-demand.
Developers that want to build mobile apps right now have two options: either build HTML5 apps that work in any modern browser or create native apps for iOS, Android and other platforms. Adobe has tools for both options and the goal for the future is to improve them. "HTML5 is now universally supported on major mobile devices, in some cases exclusively. This makes HTML5 the best solution for creating and deploying content in the browser across mobile platforms," says Adobe. "Our future work with Flash on mobile devices will be focused on enabling Flash developers to package native apps with Adobe AIR for all the major app stores." Both AIR apps and HTML5 apps are already successful and the main advantage is that they don't require a plugin.
While it's nice to be able to load sites that require Flash on your phone and tablet, Flash is not a technology for the future, it's mostly for the past. Steve Jobs was right to say that "open standards created in the mobile era, such as HTML5, will win on mobile devices (and PCs too)" and to recommend Adobe to "focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind".
Google chose pragmatism and started to collaborate with Adobe, who developed Flash for Android, Google TV and a more secure Flash plugin bundled with Chrome. Android's open nature and Chrome's focus on security made this possible. The end result was that users had the option to install Flash on their mobile devices and their desktop browser was more secure, since Flash was sandboxed and automatically updated.
Both Apple and Google cared about users, but in different ways: Apple wanted to provide a better experience, while Google wanted to provide more options. Flash was the wrong option for mobile devices, but it was the only option to load some sites.

Should be a good opportunity for some Asian fighters to make a name for themselves.
Pretty damn good card for a non-numbered event.
Stun Gun and Sanchez to win. Hopefully Sanchez puts on another FOTN.
I actually fancy Lombard as a potential future champion at middleweight, once Silva's moved on. I think he'll KO Okami.
Struve should have no problem with Hunt.
Stann v Silva will surely be a standup fight, so I guess the winner will be whoever finds the other guy's chin first.

Wanderlei Silva vs Brian Stann- I love Wandy, but he's a little too easy to hit these days and his chin isn't what it used to be. Stann is pretty one-dimensional, but he's got some pretty serious power. Stann by KO.
Mark Hunt vs Stefan Struve- This should be a good indicator of whether or not Struve has finally learned how to use his reach or if he's still going to stand in the pocket and get his brain cells killed. I'll take Struve by decision, since he's not putting Hunt down.

Wanderlei Silva vs Brian Stann
Long time wandy fan here. I feel he is on his way out at this point. While Stann isn't the best middleweight in the UFC, he is a contender for a reason. I see Stann finding Wandy's chin and putting him away. Stann by KO in Rd. 2.
Mark Hunt vs Stefan Struve
Mark Hunt is a dangerous matchup for anyone. Even if Struve tries to stay on the outside and outpoint him, Mark has got serious power and excellent control over range on the feet. However I don't think his ground game is nearly on the level of the Skyscrapers. I feel it will end with a 1st Round Submission by Struve. Probably an armbar.
Takanori Gomi vs Diego Sanchez
I agree this is a potential FOTN candidate on paper. Sanchez is likely looking to come back strong after his loss to Ellenberger. I expect to see "the Dream" grind out a win over Gomi using his wrestling and footwork. Sanchez by UD.
Yushin Okami vs Hector Lombard
This is a tough call. Both are experienced Judo Practitioners. Both have knockout power at middleweight. I feel Okami is the more technical striker, and will have the size to hang with Lombard in the clinch. I think Okami by SD.
Mizuto Hirota vs Rani Yahya
I don't expect Hirota to make the mistakes he has in the past, but I see a distinct grappling advantage for Yahya. I see a UD for Yahya.
Dong Hyun Kim vs Siyar Bahadurzada
I think that Siyar B. doesn't yet have the depth of experience necessary to take out "stun gun", who's only 2 losses come at the hands of far more experienced fighters. DHK by UD or TKO.
All in all it should be a good card. I'm excited to watch it after work in the bar with some of my work friends who appreciate the sport.

Pleased to see I wasn't the only one who called just about none of the big fights on this card correctly. Mark "9-7" Hunt is actually beginning to look like a possible title contender and Silva is apparently powered by adoring Japanese people in close proximity, causing him to pull off this great upset and making Stann's future in the cut-happy promotion uncertain.

Martin, I could not reply to the thread where Brian deleted his posts in "are you a christian or a universalist" but I am going to say what needs to be said in case it can help someone else. If anyone happens to have Brians e-mail or is in contact with him I would appreciate that you send him this post.
Whatever you felt with the Holy Spirit may not have been directly from what Brian did.
Brian was a brother that has reached out to me in private and upon reading that thread, and my response to him, I take accountability in what happened.
I violated his trust in the sense that when I responded to his post I was responding out of the emotion of my past hurt, not by Brian, but all the people who have betrayed me because I left organized religion. Rather than putting that aside I went on the attack disguising my contempt through the appearance of sound reasoning.
On the surface, some would say I did nothing wrong, however, considering what I know Brian is going through I either should have kept my mouth shut or approached his post without the emotional baggage attached.
The grieving of the Holy Spirit did not happen because Brian removed his post, it is because I did not hold my brother precious and I helped hurt a dear brother.I am deeply sorrowful for the part I played in all of this and can only ask for forgiveness for the damage that has been done.
When he did what he did, I think he altered his email address on his profile to a nonworking bogus one so that if he comes back (?), it'll be when he decides he will and not before. I didn't catch his email address before his leaving, so I don't know what to tell you as far as any way to contact him other than to pray. Interceding will bring the two of you back across one another's paths.
I read that thread of Brian's frequently and I feel that I learned a lot from it and was challenged by it. I remain curious who or what put those ideas on his heart -- the idea that some people are more universalist than Christian. When I first read it, I wondered if that's how he saw us at Tentmaker, or if there was some other motivation there that we just weren't understanding. What I do know is that even though I disagreed with some of the ideas presented there, I was challenged to spend more time with my Bible.
I thought you knew for sure it was me when I came back as MacPherson, based on you response to my introduction on the Welcome page.
Anyway, Brian, you left me a couple of messages indicating you'd need some personal time to chew on a few things, so whether you come back as Brian, as MacPherson, or as some yet future Regeneration, I look forward to future conversations with you. And with regards to your email to me, Charles Slagle's one of my best friends 'cause his and my struggles, temptations, and testimony aren't all of that different. They differ most specifically with regards to time frames and calendar years involved and in not much else. If Holy Spirit allows me to, perhaps I'll be able to share more with you later along the lines of what you'd written me by PM and email.
I had to do a double take on that picture Brian . . . you look like you and I could be twins. Seriously, you look exactly like me. The only difference is I wear glasses. Very eerie!!!

I have been programming for 2 years in python, Java and C#. I have developed two programs that is being used by a IT-company I worked for and use programming/a programmers mind to solve almost every problem I counter.
But still I feel I am missing something in my curriculum (selftaught mostly).
When programming I usally do the most often mistake of never changing my solutions to problems in my code. Because I dont know the lowest principals in programming. I often give up on new projects I start because of this.
I see codes from others and I shiver when I think back to my code afterwards.
What are the basics in programming? How can I learn this? And which principals in programming is the building blocks to actually become a better programmer?

With the 100th anniversary of the West Virginia State High School basketball tournament being celebrated last week, my buddy Joe Kinzer, a longtime radio broadcaster for WXCC radio, put his math hat on and did his best impression of a stat expert.
With me using my trusty calculator, Kinzer and I came up with some great stats regarding Mingo County High Schools in the state tourney.
Mingo County schools are now 77-26 after Tug Valley's three wins this year.
This made the 16th championship for high school teams from Mingo County. There have been 15 runner-up finishes for teams from the state's youngest county.
The current three class alignments started in 1950. From 1915 to 1929 the tourney was open for any team who wanted to compete. Then the tournament was divided into divisions in a number of years, including 1949 to 1958. This was Class A for larger schools and Class B for schools with smaller enrollments.
From 1959 the tourney was made up of the current three class system, but only four teams made it to the state tourney. In 1971 Class AAA was increased to eight teams and the lower two classes went from four teams to eight teams back in 1985.
Williamson High School had the most with six championships, five in Class AA and one, the most recent back in 2001, in Class A. The others were in 1964, 1983, 1986, 1988 and 1989. The Wolfpack had two Class AAA runner-ups, one in 1965 and one in 1981. In those Triple A title games, each time WHS was undefeated going into the final game and got upset. The first defeat was to Beckley Woodrow Wilson and then the second heartbreaker to Princeton.
WHS finished with a 28-17 overall record at the state tournament. Burch was next with an 18-6 mark, Tug Valley is now 21-7, and Kermit was 5-3, Lenore 3-1, Matewan 2-4, Gilbert 3-4, Liberty of Williamson 1-1 and Chattaroy 2-3.
Burch won the first-ever state title by a high school from Mingo County back in 1957. Future Bulldog head coach John Maynard played on that team. That was in the old Class B division. Lenore was next with an AA championship back in 1962. Kermit won its first in 1964, a Class A title. That Blue Devil team was led by Lewis Hale, who went on to play at WVU, Herschel Sartin and Joe Bryant Dingess.
That same year Williamson won its first in Class AA. The Wolfpack was led by a young coach, George Ritchie and all-state performer Bill Craig.
Kermit came back with another championship in 1975. That team was coached by the late John Preece. He had big Guy Dillon on the squad, along with J. W. Endicott and Barry Richardson leading the team. That small senior class had three players to go on to become medical doctors - Endicott, Bruce Hensley and John Carey.
Then Williamson had its run of four titles in the 1980s. Allan Hatcher coached the team to a title in '83, a team led by All-American Mark Cline.
Then David Hatfield coached WHS to three Class AA titles in the late '80s. Those squads were loaded with talent including Anthony Strother, the twins, Barry and Gary Baker and many others.
Burch won the Class A title in 1989. John Maynard coached that team, which was led by Scott Caudill and Billy Stratton. Then they had two in the early 90s, 1991 and 1993. That team was coached by Mike Smith and led by all-state guard Billy Erwin.
Tug Valley won its first, an AA first place finish, back in 1999. Frankie Smith coached that team which was led by Greg Davis. Then WHS won in 2001, their last before consolidation. Tug Valley won the AA title last year and in Class A this year. They join Williamson's 1988-89 teams as the only two from Mingo County to win back-to-back championships.
As far as state tournament appearances, Williamson had 25, Burch 10, Lenore two, Kermit five, Tug Valley 10, Matewan four, Gilbert four, Chattaroy three and Liberty one.
There were several runner-ups by some great teams from the county. Kermit finished as runner-up in the old Class B division back in 1950.
Chattaroy had two appearances, but both teams lost in the finals. That was in 1955 and 1962. That was the last year the Yellowjackets would field a team. They were consolidated with Williamson after the 1962 season.
Williamson moved up to Class AAA in 1965, but lost a tough one to Beckley.
In 1966, Liberty High School of Williamson, one of the last all-black schools in the state, went to the Class A state championship. But, they lost a heartbreaker. They were consolidated with WHS the next year. That team was coached by the late Ed Starling.
Matewan got as close as it ever did back in 1972. Joe Clusky coached a Tiger team led by Mike Collins and Billy Roberson to the championship. They lost and finished as runner-up.
In 1981, after finally beating Logan in the sectional tourney, WHS lost to Huntington in the regional final. At that time, only four teams made it in each class to the state tournament. Later that was changed and eight teams went from each class.
In 1984, Lenore, coached by Dick Montgomery, lost in the championship game to Mullens. Mullens was led by future WVU star Herbie Brooks. The Rangers were led by Scotty Baisden, Rodney Goff and Mike Hanshaw. (This is one of the first teams I ever covered as a sport reporter.)
WHS got upset by Greenbrier West back in 1992 in the finals at the Civic Center. David Hatfield also saw his team lose a tough one in 1996 to a great Bluefield team.
Burch lost in the finals in 1994 to Doddridge County and in 1998 to Mullens.
Tug Valley, coached by Roger Harless, lost in the championship game in 2001 to Bridgeport.
Mingo County definitely has played a big part when it comes to the history of the state basketball tournament. Most of those schools are gone. There are now only two high schools left in the county.
Tug Valley has built a solid program under head coach Garland "Rabbit" Thompson. The new Mingo Central High School, under head coach Brad Napier, hopes to build a good hoops program up on the mountain.
Both will eventually add new chapters to the history of Mingo County high school boys' basketball teams.
Sports writers and reporters will keep adding to the stats as I'm sure they will continue to change, but the legacy will remain.

Plastic iPhone shell shows up again, goes side by side with current products
The alleged low-cost, plastic iPhone continues to be a thing, and well known YouTuber DetroitBORG has managed to obtain one of the shells we've seen so many leaked images of already. While it is only the shell, DetroitBORG – otherwise known as Michael Kukielka – compares it to the iPod touch, iPhone 5, iPhone 4/4S and the iPhone 3GS.
The comparisons are pretty neat, actually. The shell bears a lot of resemblance to the 5th Gen iPod touch, with a similar form factor and speaker arrangement down the bottom, alongside of course a Lightning port, the 3.5mm headphone jack and the microphone. It's also slightly thicker than the iPhone 5. At this point in time we're still wondering exactly what this is, if indeed it does come to market. Speculation is that the 30-pin laden iPhone 4 and 4S will be discontinued, and that this 'budget' offering will fit into that part of the lineup, along side the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s. Check out the video and see what you think. How do you like the looks of it?

Plastic iPhone shell shows up again, goes side by side with current products
This could be interesting phone... As long as they don't skimp too much on cpu/ram/screen (like Samsung & HTC with mini-versions) or put too high price for it.
I am really excited about it. Hope it doesn't go over $400. Availability is also important. Hope to get it from the USA because in Europe or Latin America might be considerably overpriced.
Two things concern me but I won't think much before the actual product gets announced and tested or reviewed. Still, food for thought:
1. How many years of updates would it receive? If it does run A5... I'm a little worried. What if it gets discontinued next year when the new model arrives? I don't want another iPad 1.
2. Would we suffer any performance drawbacks?
Don't mean to start discussions because it's obviously too early but I just want to share excitement.
Did you watch the video?
Sort of reminds me of the Lumia 521 and 520 with the camera lens and volume button slots. Going to sell like crazy to the teen crowd.

Breaking: Boehner Campaign Under Investigation By Federal Election Commission For Violations
by DAVID BADASH on SEPTEMBER 12, 2013
in NEWS,POLITICS
John Boehners campaign is being investigated by the Federal Election Commission for campaign finance violations. Boehner, who has become the top fundraiser in the House, took in a whopping $22 million during the 2012 election cycle. The FEC says it is investigating whether donations from dozens of individuals and super PACs exceeded legal limits.
Letters the Federal Election Committee sent Monday to Friends of John Boehner indicated that donors including coal, energy, and gambling interests, exceeded contribution limits to Boehners committee by more than $150,000, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports:
Last week, reports were flying that Boehner had told top staff he would not seek re-election to his position as Speaker of the House next year. Today, Boehner bragged that the House voted to repeal ObamaCare for the 41st time.
Among the groups that were allegedly overgenerous to Boehner were Coalpac and Minepac, which represent the mining industry, as well as political committees representing the Exelon, Constellation and Luminant power companies, and the Ceasars and Penn National gambling enterprises.
Friends of John Boehner is one of several political organizations that Boehner uses to raise money for GOP candidates and solidify his partys control over the U.S. House of Representatives.
Also under investigation are Michele Bachmann and her husband, Marcus Bachmann.

Boro had made a shock deadline day move their former striker - who began his career with the club.
But the player has made it clear he does not want to drop down to the Championship and his representatives have told Sky Sports that he has ruled out a move.
Graham is still hopeful that he can secure a move away from Swansea on Thursday, with Sunderland remaining firm favourites for his signature - although they are yet to agree a deal for him.

Blasphemy! But someone had to do it. Everyone calm down, I'm not saying that you can't play Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" until your iPod breaks. All I'm saying is that there is so much more out there in terms of cheerful spirited holiday-themed music that is both modern and mostly listenable.
Let's put aside our differences and agree that lists are fun. They are also only definite if you actually add them to your holiday playlist. SO: WILL YOU?

A detailed examination of the fitness for purpose of existing corporate governance and risk management arrangements is launched today by ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants).
Supported by ACCA's Global Forum for Governance, Risk and Performance, the consultation, Creating value through governance – towards a new accountability, finds there is little consensus about what corporate governance is for, making it difficult to assess whether it is doing a good job.
The paper suggests the purpose of corporate governance should be to ensure companies create sustainable value and that governance practices should be evaluated on how well they achieve this purpose; it also advises that value should be considered in a wider sense than simply profit, and should consider societal and environmental value as well as economic value.
Seeking responses from the global business community, accountants, policy makers, investor relations specialists, investors and shareholders, the paper asks a series of questions, such as:
- Has corporate governance become too focused on form and compliance at the expense of the quality and integrity of decision making?
- Have current governance systems made it harder to hold people to account for company failure?
- What should policy makers, businesses and investors do to restore trust?
The consultation suggests ideas for a new accountability framework for corporate governance based on three measures: 'performing, informing and holding to account'. The effectiveness of national governance codes and companies' own approaches to governance in contributing to value creation can be assessed using the framework.
Paul Moxey, head of corporate governance and risk at ACCA, explains: 'The paper argues that corporate governance is all about creating long term sustainable value, for business and for its stakeholders. Governance codes should be evaluated on how well they create this value for real economic growth.
'It suggests that a new conceptual framework, based on performing, informing and holding to account, could help to achieve this much needed value. We also need to address the culture and incentives that drive corporate behaviour, issues which have not been addressed fully.'
Paul Moxey concludes: 'We want wide feedback to this consultation, so we welcome responses from anyone interested in this area. After all, this is an issue that affects everyone. It has been written for those with an interest in the financial system, in the contribution that enterprise makes to economic growth and in what leads to market dysfunction – essentially, all of us.'
The consultation, the eight main questions ACCA is asking, introductory videos and other supporting material can be found via the 'Related Links' section, left of this article.
The consultation closes on the 31 August 2014, and will be debated as part of an invitation only ACCA conference on 28 March in London highlighting current projects as part of ACCA's Risk and Reward theme.

Altvater: Marathon Classic field full of Major winners, top-ranked golfersWritten by Fred Altvater | | email@example.com
Even though the 2014 Marathon Classic is sandwiched between a major championship, the Ricoh Women's British Open, and the new team event, the International Crown, it has drawn a quality field of the top names in women's golf.
Stacy Lewis, Michelle Wie, Lexi Thompson, Lydia Ko, former Marathon Classic winner, Paula Creamer and the winner of last week's Women's British Open, Mo Martin, are all in Toledo this week.
Lewis is the No. 1-ranked woman player in the world with three wins, and 13 top-10 finishes in 16 starts this season. With nearly $2 million in earnings, she leads the LPGA Tour money list and the Race to the CME Globe.
Lewis was born in Toledo and the city claims her as one of its own.
Wie is finally beginning to fulfill the tremendous potential predicted for her since she was a teenager — although she missed the cut after today's round at the Marathon Classic. Wie won the U.S. Women's Open in June at Pinehurst and is behind only Lewis on the money list.
Thompson won the first major championship of the year at the Kraft Nabisco Championship and is ranked No. 5 in the world. At just 19 years old, she is one of the young stars that is making a mark on the LPGA Tour.
Ko was the No. 4 ranked player in the world when she turned professional last October. She already has a win in 2014 and has moved to No 2 in the Rolex Rankings.
Creamer, always a fan favorite, won the Marathon Classic in 2008 and finished as runner-up last year. She has a win this season at the HSBC Women's Champions in March.
Lewis, Ko, Thompson and Wie give the Marathon Classic four of the top-six ranked players in the world. Add 2012 Marathon Classic winner, So Yeon Ryu to the list and five of the top-10 ranked players can be seen at Highland Meadows this week.
With Ko and Thompson both still teenagers, the LPGA Tour has a strong youth movement pressuring the veterans to keep pace and fight for their spots at the top of leaderboards every week.
Last year Inbee Park, Suzann Pettersen and Lewis won all five major championships and dominated the LPGA Tour. They were dubbed the "Big 3" and between them won 13 events, combined for 45 top-10 finishes and earned over $6 million.
Lewis has continued her success this season, but Park only has one win in 2014 and Pettersen, who has battled a sore back most of the season, has yet to win this year.
In the past, Asians and Europeans dominated the major championships and the LPGA Tour. 2014 is a different story, however. Five different Americans have won 10 tournaments this season and American-born women have won all three majors.
The best women golfers in the world are playing a much different golf course at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania this week than they played at Royal Birkdale last week.
Tree-lined fairways put a premium on accuracy off the tee and small greens require laser-like iron shots and a deft touch.
Marathon has helped generate a new buzz around the annual LPGA Tour event at Highland Meadows and allows the tournament to continue the tradition of generating over $300,000 annually for local children's charities.
