Yadtel recently unveiled a new employee, and his nickname is the "WISE GUY" (short for wireless integrated services expert).
His real name is Shannon Adams, and he has more than a decade of experience in wireless sales with the company. It is his job to teach people how to perform the common tasks on the many wireless devices that are an ever-increasing part of their daily lives.
"Androids, iPhones, iPads, Microcells — you name it, I help with everything," says Adams, listing the wireless devices people regularly bring to him. "I go to special events, senior centers, businesses … and of course, people can always meet me at one of our stores (located in Jonesville, Yadkinville, Mocksville, and Advance)."
He even travels outside Yadtel's traditional service area.
"I've gone to businesses in Forsyth County, and I have plans to go into Statesville," Adams said.
Barbara King, with the Yadkinville Senior Center, has witnessed the "WISE GUY" in action and hopes to see him again soon.
"He came to the center to meet with some of our folks and they found him to be very helpful," she says. "But I didn't get to take part, and now I want him to come back and show me how to get my voice messages!"
Adams said the idea for the "WISE GUY" was born of a desire to offer a valuable service not found elsewhere.
"We wanted something sort of like the genius bar that's found in Apple stores," Adams said. "Except we wanted it to be open to anyone, Yadtel customer or not, who had a question about how to set up or operate any wireless device. That's what makes our service unique. No one else in the market is offering anything like this."
For now, Adams is on duty three days a week, Tuesday through Thursday, and is available for appointments with a simple call to Yadtel's customer service line (336-463-5022) or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
"Oh, we definitely plan on doing more," he says. "I've started making some how-to videos that we'll air online and on Yadtel TV's channels 6 and 7. Then hopefully this school year, we'll get some programs going in the schools where I can go and do some demonstrations and hold open forums."

how to: monogram fabric napkins
fabric paint/s, as desired
brushes, as needed
light/medium-weight cardboard for stencils
X-acto knife
masking/painter's tape
uno natural linen napkins
1. Fold the napkin the way you will be using on your dining table, etc. to locate exactly where you want to place the monogram.
2. Be sure to measure and mark exactly where the stencil will be applied on each napkin so that there will be consistency in the placement. We used a square piece of heavy-weight paper which allowed the corners to line up.
3. Pencil the desired monogram design on to the heavy-weight paper and cut out the stencil with a sharp X-acto blade on a protected surface or cutting board.
4. Following the instruction label on the fabric paint—be sure to include an extra layer of paper on the backside to absorb excess paint/liquid—then use a sponge paint brush and "dab" the paint the background color on the napkin surface. Lift off the stencil immediately after painting. Let the fabric paint dry completely before adding on the next layer of color so that the colors don't bleed.
5. For best results, consult the fabric paint label for care instructions—most likely, laundering by hand or on the delicate cycle will be recommended for the longest life.

I imagine they will try to take some of the things that made DAoC fun (3 realms RvR with most PvE within the realm but some in PvP open areas) but it make it more accessible to mainstream players. I mean, the DAoC hardcore is a few % of the Elder Scrolls playerbase.

Agree to disagree, it declined long before that. The starter areas were pretty empty even before /level 20, and when you did go to the levelling areas, it was almost all alts. There were very few new players by then. I remember because I levelled an alt at the same time that a new player (friend of a guildie) started. We were usually alone. I also levelled another character on a bigger server (Nimue had a lower population) and I saw the same thing on the other server. This was less than a year after release. No comparison to the first 6 months or so when the game was booming with new players.
Also there was the issue that the more casual players who took a year or more to reach level 50, well they eventually got there, tried lvl 50 RvR, got rolled, and then realized they either needed to grind realm rank, or be cannon fodder in RvR. We lost a big chunk of my guild's alliance because of people quitting because of that. They thought level 50 would enter them into the endgame but really it just entered them into another type of grinding. RvR became more and more hardcore, and the player base declined. Subs took a while to reflect that (in part because of the proliferation of buffbots) but it was real obvious that the player base was declining and there were few new players entering the game.

I'm disappointed that the level of thought here is:
"Make it like DAoC pre ToA"
Really??? I mean the whole OP can be summed up with that statement... you all applaud, but that's basically it. I don't think copying DAoC's approach will work at this point in time due to competition.
Also most of you have 0 clue why 8 players worked in DAoC..... look at the classes and what was "needed" in a group.
Needed heavy CC
Need healer
Need 2nd healer (in case first went down)
Needed 5X speed
Needed End regen
Needed Bubble
And this was a basic pro 8 man set up... depending on the side you had room for 3-4 DPS. The abilities were spread out amongst classes so that's why you needed bigger groups in DAoC.... it wasn't some magical "that's the ideal number"... stop saying it....
I agree that daoc is/was one of the two best mmos ever along with eve
Daoc best themepark mmo ever
Eve best sandbox mmo ever

Its very simple. If you want open world pvp dont add instanced pvp like battlefields or arena stuff. Eve Online is a perfect example of open world pvp being focused by its playerbase. I would be willing to bet if they had arenas and instances for fighting you would see a drastic drop in people flying around lowsec/nullsec areas looking for random encounters etc.
Minus the big zerg that just runs you over its possible for a group to be outnumbered by 2x-3x its size and still win the fight by being coordinated and skilled. That element needs to be brough into the game as well.
This game has 3 factions which is better than 2 but would be nicer if all individual guilds where enemies unless they changed their relations to each other to an effect like the eve relation system(would make more sense this way for the player alliance system).
A war is more interesting the more sides you have fighting each other.

I agree with most of the points the OP stated, but to me the best open world pvp MMO I have played was shadowbane. Beyone the bugs and exploits it handled permanancy and CC better than any of the "pvp" mmo's I have played since. For CC balance each CC you placed on someone also applied a longer duration immunity buff to the cc to prevent/reduce stunlocking/rootlocking/etc... Allowing players to own/build/destroy cities was amazing. Group formations that allowed the group leader to move for you added a structured element that mimiced battles of the past (iron age to US civil war tactics).
It blows my mind how many developers and players seem to have forgotten or ignored the innovations in open world pvp that Shadowbane employed over its lifespan. Just my two cents here.

Exactly right. Its also a reason that Albion groups often struggled in 8v8, because Albion had more classes so those key skills were spread across more classes. It was much harder to have a 'perfect group' in Albion that it was in Hib or especially Mid which iirc had the fewest classes. In Midgard for example, Healer was both CC and healing, Skalds were numerous so most groups had speed, etc. I played in all three realms and in Albion it was a headache getting all those skills into a group, and if you were in realm battles, some groups wouldnt have the key skills (eg Minstrel speed), there werent enough to go around. And good luck finding enough Sorcerors... When I played in Mid, realmmates would be patting themselves on the back for being 'better', and really, a lot if it was just that their groups had the key skills and the Alb groups often didnt.
Now, you could have a great Alb 8v8 group, that could go head-to-head with any Mid or Hib group. It was just MUCH harder to build, especially in ad hoc groups.

I think ESO will handle the server imbalance (zerg) issue by the way they are deciding who gets put where when they log on. One of the biggest problems in RvR is imbalance of number of players - once one side is known as the 'winning' side, players on the other side are less likely to come out to play RvR, and more new players/rerolls gravitate to the 'winning' side, which makes the imbalance even worse. Having 3 realms helps a lot, but even with 3 realms there were a lot of imbalance issues in DAoC.
It sounds like ESO will get a handle on this by controlling who gets put where. They can keep guilds and friends together, while at the same time feeding in new players to a realm, or taking players away, to help maintain balance. That makes good sense if the technology allows it and yet to the players it still gives a sense of being perpetual and allowing them to build groups of friends and pride in their realm/campaign.

Killing enemies should never be an objective of real war games, it forces one playstyle as well.
The best solution is to add a reward system that is neither killing nor taking territory but obtaining resources.. Having a resource based pvp system allows the designer to have large or small battle zones and have them scale and become as random as they can. You can have resource areas appear and grow as they are ignored

As much as I enjoyed DAoC, I think some people here are honestly living in a fantasy land. This site already has examples of people hating on copies of their favorite game systems. Heck, DAoC's systems are repeatedly getting copied to this day, and expanded upon. That's a good thing.
Fairly standard issues like performance, rendering (culling), and hacking will most definitely be a problem. But they always are. Why didn't DAoC have these issues as much? Because it's a really old game. MMOs weren't as popular then, hacking wasn't as prevalent or blatant, and servers didn't have to handle nearly as much load as they do now.

It all boils down to having an excellent progression system for Open World PvP.
A) Long "PvP Experience" grind unlocking new "PvP Ranks" opening up fearsome abilities both actives and passives.
B) Long "PvP Equipment" grind where the loot/tokens drop from players themselves and winning PvP objectives (NOT PVE INSIDE PVP)
C) Meaningful goal of the RvR. Winning RVR allows you to get even more riches and POWER.
D) Eliminate trading, completely. Trading is most utterly annoying thing and players always abuse it to progress faster.
Open World PvP doesn't differ _that much_ from PvE. Developers need to understand that some of the values that people appriciate in PvE function in PvP aswell. You don't have to make PvP a completely different world.
If you can reach "OH SHIT IT'S xSlayerxx who's RANK xxx wielding the ultimate-badass-sword from cyrodiil" you are doing it right. Players who put effort in RvR should become raidbosses at some stage.

I grow so tired of these "letter to a dev" posts. Especially on a 3rd party sight.
Every gamer is now some archair developer, knows exactly how to make the greatest game ever.
Truth is the more developers listen to their gaming community, the games keep getting easier, faster, and more shallow.
I prefer when a developer has a vision and stick to it, ignoring the cries from those armchair developers. I think those games have a soul to them. These know it alls only seem to know how to do what has already been done "right" and listening to them is how we keep getting the same mechanics with a new skin and name tossed at us.
Specifically with a development studio known for making good RPG's....let them make their game as they see fit. Your ideas (to all here) if they were really groundbreaking or the key to success...you probably wouldnt be on a forum posting about them, you would be making the game or directing the team. Too many chiefs not enough tribesmen.
I tend to enjoy games more when i sit back, let someone else develop it, and enjoy the game for what it is. Sitting around theorycrafting about how it should be just make me dislike a game i would otherwise have enjoyed.
Also, not sure what people are smoking to think some developer is reading these posts and then will impliment their idea...could be your run of the mill narcissism...chances are the time for changing major systems is over.
Basically i prefer my games to be well thought out including the big picture and the little details, as the process for development...not going on some 3rd party forum to get their ideas.
We dont need yet another DAOC attempt...that style of pvp is shallow and boring anyway...and its not like we havent been regurgitating the same tired system for ages now it seems...i dont care what minute factor other attempts got wrong in your eyes...its all the same mechanics no matter how you reskin and tweak it. This is what im talking about...listen to the gaming community and get the same old shit regurgitated.
Bring us unique..shit i wouldnt even have thought of...thats how a classic is made...thats how you win an audience long term. else you just get a WAR/AOC/GW2 been there done that overhype the start and watch it die type of game...which this will probably be...unless they actually do something unique and risky....which they wont...because money is at stake and its safe to regurgitate because lemmings will bit the hype and buy it. Or i guess they could just make it buy to play, and it will forever be a success no matter how many actually play..sometimes i think people care more about how free it is than how good it is.

I agree with OP about a lot of that, definently. I would also add that the best place for RvR would be the game world itself. I was playing GW2 and it is sorta like... Why are we fighting over these boring keeps? This same fight could be happening to vy for control over the actual game world. That would be much more interesting.

It has just as much open-world PvP as DAoC did. And really, whether people choose servers are or put into different campaigns based on friends/playstyle, its just different ways of dividing players into manageable groups. If having one world with everyone in it and all areas open to PvP is your standard of open-world PvP, well then no mainstream game with a large player base will ever qualify
Elladan - ESO (AD)
Well it doesn't as daoc also had Ffa servers.
No the wow style of pvp is dull and boring
The daoc style done right e.g planetside 1 is lots of fun.
The daoc style done semi right e.g war, gw2, planetside 2 is also a damn site more fun than arena e"sport" bollox.
I don't consider likes if lwg in wow, fusang in tsw or ilum in swtor to be daoc style. They are half arsed tacked on pvp for a momentary distraction while you're not doing raiding.

Beyonce's Documentary: Glee Stars React on Twitter
Hands up if you spend Saturday night flopped over on your couch and dry-heaving with happiness while watching Beyonce's HBO documentary, Life is But A Dream. Thought so. Basically, Beysus once again proved that she is a god amongst wo-men, and everyone is bowing down — including our favorite Gleeks!
Check out The Glee Club's reaction to Queen Bey's television debut. OMG, sorry — it's not TV, it's HBO.
Naya Rivera (Santana Lopez): "15 minutes until Beyonce's HBO documentary!"
Amber Riley (Mercedes Jones): "So inspiring #BeyonceLifeIsButaDream, she killed 'Listen' in that car."
Kevin McHale (Artie Abrams): "The Beyonce documentary was incredible. So inspiring. Bey da troof, yo."
Cheerio Hannah Douglass: "Life is but a dream. ?"
Oh, and if you think you saw Hannah frolicking around in the background of Beyonce's documentary, you would be correct. Yep, when this girl isn't bounding around McKinley High School as a Cheerio, she can be found sashaying up a storm with our girl Bey! Basically, she's doing god's work, one gyration at a time.
We'll leave you with these parting words courtesy of our Queen: "God lives inside of me."

Each week, the Moultrie News and Mount Pleasant Recreation Department will feature one local track and field athlete participating in the department. Paul Kowalchick, 11, participates in shot put, discus and 400-meter run events with the Mount Pleasant Track Club. Kayla Kirland, 9, participates in shot put and the 800-meter and 1500-meter races with the club.
Question: If you could be anyone for a day, who would you be?
Paul Kowalchick: I think it would be great to be the CEO of Universal Studios in Orlando. I'd shut down the park for one day and let all my friends in for free.
Kayla Kirland: Someone who works for Petco.
Q: What is your favorite Mount Pleasant restaurant?
PK: I like any place that serves chicken and french fries, but my favorite is Brickyard Food & Spirits. They are right in my neighborhood and we go there almost every Saturday night after church.
KK: Wild Wings.
Q: What is the best moment in your athletic career?
PK: That would be a toss-up between winning in the championships for football last year, placing third in the state and making the all-state wrestling team for my division. For track, it would be qualifying for regionals in my first year with the MPTC.
KK: When I checked the newspaper and found out I won the Cooper River Bridge Run for the second time in a row and had my best time.
Q: What is the best advice you have gotten from a coach?
PK: My dad is the best coach I've ever had, and he has taught me to always work hard and have a great attitude. I try to remember what he's taught me, because it's true in school, sports and life.
KK: Start sprinting at the curve, not the straightaway.
Q: What do you look forward to the most about being an adult?
PK: I want to have a job that makes me happy and rich. I can't wait to drive. I want to get my own dog and ride around in an awesome car.
KK: To go wherever whenever.
Q: What do you think are the most difficult and most fun aspects of track?
PK: The hardest thing about track for me is the running. It's not just how we train, it's a huge part of our practice time. There are no games that we play for fun or scrimmage and drills. We just run and run and you have to be disciplined. The most fun part of track is trying to perfect my shot put technique so that I can throw farther.
KK: The most difficult aspect is the last 100 yards and the most fun is that it is a fun challenge.
Q: What is your movie and TV show?
PK: My favorite movie is "Jurassic Park III" and the TV show I like is "River Monsters."
KK: Movie: "Oz the Great and Powerful" and TV show: "America's Funniest Videos."
Q: If you could have dinner with any three people who would you choose?
PK: I think it would be cool to have dinner with Jesus, Da Vinci and Fat Albert. There are a lot of questions that I'd like to ask, and I think they would make very interesting dinner guests. I can only imagine the conversations.
KK: Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift and Darius Rucker.

Thunder in the Vicinity
Wind: 3 mph
To The Editor:
Well, here's my comment a day late and a dollar short. I was away this week and just saw the newspaper with the suggestion that the Warren Fourth of July celebration move to Sugarbush.
If the town wants to give the mountain its signature Fourth of July celebration, so be it. I've been here 10 years, but I haven't made my presence known or become an active member of the community, so what I say about community culture shouldn't carry all that much weight. But I rather like the idea of the Warren Village and Brooks Field event, though I don't have to cope with the inconvenience, so maybe folks who live in the area have a different take on it.
Clearly, though, if the event moves up the mountain it will become Sugarbush's Fourth of July celebration no matter how anyone tries to keep that from happening. It's impossible to separate that location from tourists' and locals' perceptions.
I have no bad feelings toward Sugarbush. To the contrary, from what I know of them, the mountain and the owners are great citizens and good neighbors (and the mountain's owners hold a lot of the properties in the Village, too, don't they?). But if Fourth of July goes up there, it will be sucked into the "great mountain maw" and become another Valley tourist attraction (not necessarily a bad thing), instead of a local community celebrating the country's birthday (usually a good thing). It will lose its local flavor and take on a bit of glitz.
Before any other costs and benefits are considered, I personally think the town needs to decide if it wants to give this one away. If yes, then the answer is easy. If no, then all other decisions about changes or accommodations for Fourth of July events can be made with that in mind.
For what it's worth.

Do I need a climate controlled storage unit in San Antonio?
The forecast high for San Antonio is 102 degrees today. The record high for today in San Antonio is 103 degrees. High temperatures and humidity can cause mold and mildew to thrive. If you're considering storing items that are susceptible to mold and mildew during this period, consider renting a climate controlled storage unit.
Does San Antonio student population affect self-storage prices?
Colleges and universities located in or nearby San Antonio include Our Lady of The Lake University San Antonio, St Marys University, Trinity University, University of Texas At San Antonio, University of Texas Health Science Center At San Antonio, University of The Incarnate Word. College students often need storage during summer and winter breaks and can drive prices up during these seasons.

Un-bagging safe solvent: A look at Martin Reisch's camera gear
Martin Reisch, aka safe solvent is iMore's go-to videographer for events like CES and Macworld, and he's just joined us in New York City for our big, upcoming [Redacted]. The moment he landed he walked in with a giant Crumpler Dry Red No. 9 gear bag, and we just knew we had to get a look inside it.
Starting at the top, Martin had his 5D Mark III, and since he's a firm believer in backup bodies, he had his 5D Mark II as well. For lenses, he brought with him his Canon 24-70 F2.8 L, Canon 50 F1.2 L, and Canon 70-200 F2.8 L.
He also packed his RED Scarlet, a massively impressive 4K camera with an EF mount that lets him use the very same Canon lenses.
Despite all that glass, Martin's daily driver is still his iPhone 5, along with a Joby Gorilla Pod GripTight. You can see samples of that work over on Instagram, and as for the work he's doing this week...
... Stay tuned!

Un-bagging safe solvent: A look at Martin Reisch's camera gear
Always pick the right tool for the right job!
Domke, he got it at B&H.
I have 3 versions of that Domke bag, small / medium / large. it's so rugged and has a beautiful canvas finish that gets better with age. The Modular inserts are great for seperating lens from laptop gear too!
re: "... he's just joined us in New York City for our big, upcoming [Redacted]"
Let me guess:
- iMore, Android Central, et al are going to be unified into "iMobile" or "Mobile-R-Us" or some other Verge-like web site.
- iMore, Android Central, et al will actually be absorbed by The Verge in some way.
- iMore, Android Central, et al will be doing some kind of joint TV show with The Verge.
Am I getting warmer?
Noooope! :)
Wow! That is a lot of gear! How do you keep up with all of that?
After all of that, the least expensive tool gets the most work. Great, I love it!

CONCORD, N.C. – The second half of the 2012 World Karting Association Mazda / Bridgestone Manufacturers Cup Series begins this weekend with the MKP Nationals taking 2-cycle sprint karting's center stage at the popular Michiana Raceway Park near South Bend, Indiana.
Round four of the six-race national circuit has the Man Cup Series back at MRP for the fourth year in a row and seventh time in the last eight years.
This weekend's event is the 13th time MRP has hosted a Man Cup national. The record entry count came in 2006, when 549 entrants filled the pits. Last year's entry count of 537 nearly surpassed the record.
Pre-registration numbers for this weekend's MKP Nationals have matched the pre-entry count of last year, giving the series an opportunity to set a new MRP Man Cup record.
There should be plenty of rubber down on the MRP circuit as this weekend's Man Cup is the fourth consecutive weekend of national-caliber sprint racing. The Great Lakes Sprint Series, a top WKA divisional circuit, ran at the South Bend-area venue June 16-17; the Route 66 Sprint Series, which includes many Man Cup regulars, ran MRP June 23-24; and last weekend the Rotax "Shootout" had the track abuzz with an important preparation event for the August 7-11 United States Rotax Max Grand Nationals.
And the action at Michiana won't slow down any time soon. After the MKP Nationals, WKA racing is back at MRP the very next weekend with the July 13-15 Baker Racing Engines Nationals, round three of the 2012 WKA RLV Tuned Exhaust Products Gold Cup Series.
Houston, Texas racer Mason Chelootz enters round four as the top winner on the 2012 Manufacturers Cup circuit thus far. Chelootz, a Grand Products Top Kart racer in the TaG, Leopard and Komet senior divisions, has seven wins in the first three events to lead all drivers. The last Man Cup outing at Pittsburgh Int'l Race Complex saw Chelootz race to an incredible four feature wins in five starts.
Greenfield, Indiana's Zach Holden has posted six wins in 2012 Manufacturers Cup plus a number of Great Lakes divisional feature triumphs. Holden is the top Sportsman class winner thus far aboard his No. 2 Arrow chassis and shares Chelootz's legitimate chance at a 2012 WKA Triple Crown championship.
Illinois' Kyle Kalish and Connecticut's Alex Verhagen enter this weekend tied for third on the Man Cup win list. Kalish has wheeled his Franklin Motorsports Merlin to four wins in the ultra-competitive Junior divisions, while Verhagen is on an impressive four-race winning streak in Yamaha Rookie Sportsman aboard his Mike Doty Racing Haase.
Ohio PCR racer Leonardo Stoia sits fifth on the win list. Stoia's three wins have come in the Jr Sportsman classes and have the talented youngster in contention for national championships.
Jared Cordova, John Ferris III, Scott Ferris, Brandon Jarsocrak, Brandon Lemke, Ashley Rogero, Cal Stewart and Chris Wehrheim each enter this weekend with two main event wins on the season.
Pre-entry pickup, registration and kart pre-tech will run Thursday from 3 to 6 p.m. On-track action kicks off Friday with a full day of controlled practice. Twenty national classes plus Kid Kart exhibition events will run between Saturday and Sunday.

Player One: Don't Touch That Dial!: When video games get adapted into TV showsWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
As word has emerged that Microsoft's wildly popular "Halo" franchise will soon be adapted into a live-action TV series airing through the XBox One, many fans have expressed their skepticism that the games will be done justice in a television format. Even with rumors circulating that Neill Blomkamp (the director behind "District 9″ and "Elysium") might direct the series' pilot, the idea of adapting "Halo" to the small screen seems to come with many pitfalls.
Indeed, a glance back at television history reveals that most attempts to breathe life into such digital creations via live actors usually fail to capture the imagination of either casual viewers or die-hard gamers alike — with one very notable exception. Here's a look at a few TV shows that, for better or worse, tried to bring classic games to life.
"The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!" (1989) — Granted, calling this a "live action" series is only partially correct: The show, which ran in syndication, was mostly an animated series depicting the adventures of Mario, Luigi and the gang every Monday through Thursday ("Legend of Zelda" cartoons aired on Fridays). But each episode featured wrap-around segments where Mario (played by the late wrestling manager Captain Lou Albano) and Luigi (Canadian voice actor Danny Wells, who passed away as well just last fall) got into all the low-budget hijinks they could on a single soundstage set.
The live segments were pleasant enough, and Albano made a surprisingly good Mario, but they were certainly the side dish to the main course of the cartoons themselves. By the next year, the Mario cartoon had migrated to network TV, rebranded itself as "The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3," and any depiction of the characters by live actors would have to wait for 1993′s awful "Super Mario Bros." movie.
"Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" (1991) — One of the most beloved children's game shows of all time, it can be argued that this series is now far better remembered than the video game franchise that inspired it. The games, created by now-defunct publisher Broderbund Software, were a fun way to introduce kid players to geography and basic research skills — an educational game so fun to play that it never felt like kids were playing an "educational game."
The live-action version — which aired on PBS — was even more fun than its digital counterpart, with contestants/detectives chasing Carmen and her accomplices around the globe by answering questions about geography, supervised by "The Chief" (the late, great Lynne Thigpen) and accompanied by the music of the awesome quartet Rockapella. A history-oriented spinoff would follow, as well as an honest-to-goodness Saturday morning cartoon on the Fox network — which had none of the charm of the live-action originals.
"Mortal Kombat: Konquest" (1998) — Considering (konsidering?) how popular and revolutionary the original arcade game proved to be, it stood to reason that a slew of spin-off products would be spun from the world of Mortal Kombat. The fighting game series first rose to prominence in the early 1990s, setting the world on fire with its fun-if-simplistic gameplay, in-depth yet bizarre mythology, and … oh, who am I kidding? The game's real trademarks were its blood and gore. Buckets and buckets of gratuitous violence which drove gamers wild and drove parents crazy.
Indeed, the games' bloody overtones were so prominent in its popularity that it seemed unusual how every attempt to capture the franchise in live action were aimed at the PG-13 or lower crowd — but hey, games are only for kids, right? So we got the okay 1995 live action film, the really-not-okay 1997 sequel, and then this spin-off TV series which aired for one season on the TNT network. Many liberties were taken with the source material, new characters (kharacters?) were introduced, and in general this was a brief and easily forgotten chapter in a franchise which would wait another decade before being revitalized.
"You Don't Know Jack" (2001) — Some of my fondest memories of my college days revolve around playing Jellyvision's classic quizzing series with my friends. A combination of general knowledge, pop culture references and truckloads of irreverence, the games were an incredibly fun ride designed to have the feel of a game show gone mad. Slews and slews of new installments in the franchise would follow, and it was probably inevitable that an actual game show based upon the series would be unleashed someday.
The show, hosted by Paul (Pee Wee Herman) Reubens, followed the basic concept of the games pretty closely, keeping the humor intact while spinning the format enough to adapt it for TV viewers. Sadly, though, the end result felt a bit too chaotic for casual fans, and for die hard "Jack" players it was just dissimilar enough to not really be enjoyable. The end result: A mere six episodes were aired on ABC in the summer of 2001.

The Board unanimously adopted a resolution on October 14, 2012, amending Articles IV and VI of the bylaws to provide for the three-abbess/abbot structure with which we have been experimenting since April 2010. Please go to Amended Bylaw to see a copy of the adopted bylaw amendments showing the changes in wording from the previous bylaws. This decision represents the culmination of several years of work to craft a new structure for our religious leadership that will be sustainable for the individuals filling those positions and will facilitate attention to students and timely and efficient decision-making with the rest of Zen Center leadership.
The amendments to the bylaws were discussed, reviewed and modified by a Joint Committee of the Board and the Elders Council, the Governance Committee of the Board, the Board and the Elders Council. The Joint Committee issued a report to the Board in September 2012 which you can find in the Governance section of our website. Comments and feedback from the Sangha were invited. All the thoughtful questions, concerns and suggestions, especially about the term of the abbess/abbot were carefully considered by the Joint Committee. It was decided not to make any changes in the possible length of the term. The Elders Council, in proposing an abbatial candidate, will consider all appropriate concerns including, but not limited to, the well-being of the community, the need for stability, the need for change, the health and well-being of the candidate, the previous abbatial service of the candidate, the co-equal relationship of the abbesses/abbots, etc.
The Joint Committee did wish to clarify that the Board acts in appointing and reappointing an abbess/abbot only upon the recommendation of the Elders Council. The Committee also wished to amend Article IV to reflect the correct number of members of the Board including normally three abbesses/abbots. Finally, the Committee decided to delete "by unity" as the method of Board approval. This is a technical term used in a Quaker decision-making practice which is neither voting nor consensus. The Board has not used this process for many years, and it was deleted so that the bylaws reflect the current practice of the Board.
The bylaws provide that the changes adopted by the Board shall remain in effect unless they are disapproved by a vote of two-thirds (2⁄3) of the members who cast votes by written ballots, provided that written ballots are cast by a majority of the members.

"Sightseeing" seems like such a passive word; Massachusetts sightseeing should really be called "sight-experiencing". How else would you describe retracing the steps of the colonists, soaring through the trees on a canopy tour, reliving the excitement of the Revolutionary War, quacking like a duck on an amphibious land vehicle, seeing Boston by Segway, cruising Buzzards Bay, or taking a spooky Dead of Night Ghost Tour? You can even munch your way through the Cape Cod Potato Chip factory tour, take the most delicious ride during a Bike Farm Table weekend, or treat yourself to the Boston Brew Tour.

ATLANTA — There's a new name on the list of Matt Ryan's top receiving targets.
It's Steven Jackson.
For the first time in Ryan's six seasons, the Falcons' starting running back is a dual threat as a runner and receiver. Jackson has the most catches of any NFL running back in his nine seasons, a fact sometimes overshadowed by his eight straight seasons with 1,000 yards rushing.
Jackson, who left the Rams to sign a three-year, $12 million deal with the Falcons, is replacing Michael Turner, who was rarely used as a receiver out of the backfield.
The Falcons' already potent offense now looks even stronger. Ryan can throw screen passes to Jackson when he's not targeting tight end Tony Gonzalez and receivers Roddy White and Julio Jones. Jackson's career high of 90 catches with St. Louis in 2006 easily tops Turner's career total of 70. Jackson had 38 catches last season.
Jackson's versatility fits well with offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter's philosophy. Though Turner was a one-dimensional back as a starter, Koetter still brought a new emphasis to the screen pass last season as backup running back Jacquizz Rodgers ranked fourth on the team with 53 catches.
Koetter's offense looked like a good fit when Jackson considered his options as a free agent.
"This team was pretty dynamic when it came to throwing screens, taking advantage of the defense being overly aggressive," Jackson said Monday. "We have a number of playmakers on this team, wherever I can fit in on the package, whether it's being a decoy or catching the screen making something happen down the field."
The Falcons' running backs may have been too predictable in 2012. Rodgers had more yards receiving than rushing, so defenses could adjust when he replaced Turner. Meanwhile, the bullish Turner's 19 catches set a career high but were not enough to earn respect as a receiver.
Jackson, who celebrated his 30th birthday last week, remains dangerous as a runner and receiver. The challenge for opposing defenses becomes more complicated.
"He will allow us to keep the same personnel, and not have to necessarily put a change-of-pace back in," said Falcons coach Mike Smith.
Jackson, who began his career with the Rams in 2004, has 407 career catches. According to STATS LLC, that's the most of any running back in that period – more than Brian Westbrook, LaDainian Tomlinson and Reggie Bush.
"I've always taken pride in being a franchise back, and to do that you have to be able to catch the ball out of the backfield, as well as protect the quarterback," Jackson said. "And I've just worked on that throughout the years."
Jackson set the Rams record with 10,135 yards rushing.
Smith said some of the strengths that make Jackson an effective runner also help him have success catching passes.
"He's got very good hands and very good vision," Smith said. "Usually, a running back has to have good vision because it's check-down routes. It's the last read in most cases, and the integrity of the play is about to break down, and he has a good feel for it. I think that's why he's such a good runner as well. He has excellent vision."
Jackson said he didn't come to Atlanta just to post more big numbers as a runner and receiver. He appeared in only two playoff games with the Rams – both coming in his rookie season. He said he is looking for his best chance to play in the Super Bowl.
"Football is the ultimate team sport, and after so long of being through so many tough years there, and not even being able to compete in the postseason, it takes a toll on you," Jackson said. "The way the game is evolving, it's going to more of a passing league, and I know realistically my chances to win the Super Bowl are numbered.
"Atlanta presents a great opportunity for me to take advantage of."
Jackson said he's not worried about a decline in production at 30. He averaged 4.1 yards per carry last season, close to his career average of 4.2.
"I don't worry about it all," he said. "... I think each and every generation has a guy that breaks the mold, and I truly believe that I'm that running back for this generation."

We are proud of our airport for its family friendly atmosphere and its wealth of amenities designed to make business and leisure travel quick and convenient. We also are proud of its role as a crucial economic engine and jobs provider for Melbourne and the Space Coast.
Our current priority is to expand the airport's domestic and international travel options. The return of US Airways and the expansion of flights and aircraft size by Delta Air Lines are examples of recent successes. But we're not stopping there. We are currently in discussions with airlines worldwide to bring in even more travel options.
Whether it's coach or first-class, domestic or international, our aim is to provide as many direct flights to as many destinations as possible and make Melbourne International the first choice for Space Coast travelers.
We also see the airport continuing to play a crucial role in the region's economic transition after the retirement of the Space Shuttle program, and we are working to make sure we are prepared for the challenge.
Please take time to explore our website and learn more about our airport, its history and its very bright future.
