Januzaj is currently at the centre of an international tug of war, as Belgium - the place of his birth - Albania, Serbia, Turkey, Croatia and England - who could call him up in 2016 - have all expressed an interest in calling him up.
The 18-year-old, who has burst brilliantly onto the first-team scene at Manchester United, has never played international football for any nation and his father had previously suggested he would want to play regularly for whichever country he pledged his allegiance to.
Belgium have long been trying to convince Januzaj to play for them but over the weekend, Wilmots reacted to questions from Belgian broadcaster RTBF about Januzaj's desire to play.
"It is impossible to negotiate with me," he said.
"The boy was born in Belgium, should he say that he wants to play for Belgium - from there, there is no haggling. I'm not going to play that game.
"The kid is available? He wants to play? Then perfect, okay, show me.
"If you're at the top level in Manchester or elsewhere, show me your skills and if I need you I will call. I make no promises, to Januzaj or any person!"
Januzaj senior has now reacted with fury to the quotes from Wilmots and admits his quotes will not have helped Belgium's hopes of getting his son.
"This is shameless," he is quoted by a number of Belgian media outlets.
"We never reacted on selections, phone calls or letters from the Belgian FA.
"They are requesting his selection, not us. Wilmots' remarks won't make it easier now. We are angry about these comments."

When President Barack Obama arrived in Houston about 3:45 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, former President George H.W. Bush was there to greet him.
"When the president comes to your hometown, you show up to meet him," said Bush, who chatted with Obama and the first lady for about five minutes at the foot of the steps next to Air Force One at Bush Intercontinental Airport.
Obama greeted about 50 well-wishers behind a barricade and chatted and shook hands for about 10 minutes before leaving for a meeting with about 30 members of the Democratic National Committee at the Museum District home of trial attorney Steve Mostyn.
The roundtable discussion was attended by major Democratic Party contributors. The Mostyns, for example, contributed $3 million to the Democratic PAC Priority USA.
After the meeting, Obama headed to a fundraiser at the home of another trial lawyer, John Eddie Williams.
Couples would pay about $65,000 to have dinner with the president. Some local Houston dignitaries and a former governor attended the event, and the president used the pricey gathering to rally supporters ahead of mid-term elections, HoustonChronicle.com reports.
Earlier in the day, Obama attended a memorial service at Fort Hood, site of another mass shooting last week. He's flying to Austin on Thursday to address a civil rights gathering.
During his short Houston visit, he avoided one truly Bayou City experience: sitting in traffic.
Drivers faced an extra dose of gridlock because of the Obamas' visit. By 5 p.m., buses and traffic on Smith Street was leading to lengthy waits. Buses lined up to grab commuters, one after another.
About two dozen Metropolitan Transit Authority park-and-ride routes are re-routed because of closures along Smith and Jefferson streets.
Smith at Clay Street, and Interstate 45 southbound access to Jefferson closed at noon Wednesday. Both will reopen at noon Thursday.
Portions of Pease and Brazos will also be closed, Metro said.
At 7:20 p.m., two police officers were positioned at each intersection on Kirby, between Memorial and San Felipe.
At Star Pizza west of the Montrose area, the presidential visit meant canceling delivery orders for several customers, the restaurant manager said.
"Him being in town has hurt our delivery," said Jimmy Edwards, manager of the restaurant on Norfolk near the Southwest Freeway.
Edwards said heavy traffic and road closures meant deliveries could not be made to customers in West University and River Oaks, where the fundraiser was scheduled. He focused on deliveries in the Montrose area.
The headache started about 4 p.m., Edwards said, when drivers complained that delayed delivery times were ruining the pizza.
"One West U driver took him over an hour," he said. "We could not get to our customers."
After about seven or eight such episodes, he started calling customers who had placed orders to tell them their dinner would not arrive.
Most people understood, he said.
"The customers were pleasant about it to us," he said.
And while deliveries were getting back to normal about 8:20 p.m., the business paled compared with a regular Wednesday night.
Seven deliveries were scheduled, when 20 is the norm, he said.
Officials do not disclose the president's route or scheduled road closings for safety reasons, said Cynthia Marble, special agent in charge of the Secret Service's Houston office.
"I can tell you we are doing everything we can to minimize the impact," Marble said. "It is not for a long period of time."
Marble said delays are inevitable. The good news for travelers is the closings are relatively brief. Local police and the Secret Service close roads, then reopen them after the motorcade speeds through the route.
The motorcade, which varies in size depending on the event and who accompanies the president, can reach speeds that might arouse jealousy in commuters who often get stuck on Loop 610.
The best way to avoid the melee of congestion around the motorcade is check online — at houstontranstar.org, for example — for traffic information shortly before taking a trip.

Family's fourfold 'miracle' rang in New Year's 2010Written by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
The first baby born each year always generates a lot of attention, but New Year's Day 2010 brought four times the usual excitement as quadruplets were the first to arrive in Lucas County.
"They are a miracle. They are," said mom Lauren Hablitzel-Lake of Michaela, James, Dakota and Isaiah Lake of Perrysburg, who will turn 4 on Jan. 1. "From being preemies, they have some developmental delays, but they don't have any major medical issues. To have four healthy babies, they are the minority when it comes to quadruplets."
The siblings, who started preschool this year, share the same birthday, but their parents said that's pretty much where the similarities end.
"They are each their own individual and really have their own personalities, their own strengths, their own weaknesses," Lauren said. "Within a week their personalities were completely different, right away, even as babies."
Michaela is "all girl," said dad Nick Lake. She loves princesses and the colors pink and purple.
"We thought she'd be a tomboy, but she's a complete girlie girl," Lauren said. "She'll do everything [her brothers] do, but in her skirt."
Dakota loves animals, planes, cars and Nerf guns. Isaiah likes trains and bells. James is into firetrucks and dragons. In terms of personality, James is the take-charge leader while Dakota is more laid-back — and it's been that way since they were babies, Lauren said.
"I just love watching them together, watching them play, watching them talk to each other," she said. "They could talk to each other before they could talk to me. They had their own little language and they could understand each other."
Four heartbeats
The couple, both now 29, said they were ecstatic to find out Lauren was pregnant with quadruplets.
"I thought something was wrong the whole time because the way the doctor acted [during the ultrasound]," Lauren said. "He stopped and pulled back and said, 'I need her chart,' and he's flipping through papers."
Instead, he pointed out four separate heartbeats.
"By that point, I was already crying because I thought something was wrong. So I was just relieved," Lauren said. "[Nick] just laughed. Delirious laughter. The doctor kept looking at him like, 'Are you OK?' We're like, 'Yes! We're great!' Life is a blessing. It's precious."
The Lakes, who were Perrysburg High School sweethearts, moved back to their hometown shortly after the babies were born, having outgrown their one-bedroom home in McClure overnight.
"Both our families live in Perrysburg and that was always our ideal end location," said Lauren, who left her job as a middle school math teacher to care for the kids, but plans to return to work once they start kindergarten. Nick is a structural engineer with DGL Consulting Engineers in Maumee.
The easiest part of having four kids the same age is that all are at the same developmental level and interested in similar activities, Lauren said. The hardest part is finding ways to give them individualized attention.
Although the boys still let their mom dress them alike — which she said she plans to do until they protest — Michaela is already having none of that.
"When they were little, they always had coordinating outfits, but that ended real quick because she's extremely independent and wants to do everything herself," Lauren said. "She dresses herself every day."
Lauren was 30 weeks pregnant and had been on bed rest at ProMedica Toledo Hospital for six weeks when her water broke around 10:45 p.m. Dec. 31, 2009. The babies were delivered via cesarean section: James was first at 12:17 a.m., followed by Isaiah at 12:18 a.m., Michaela at 12:19 a.m. and Dakota at 12:20 a.m.
The couple's one request was that all four be born in the same year, even though it meant missing the deadline for that year's tax deductions.
"Basically, a difference of 18 to 20 minutes was thousands of dollars," Nick said, laughing. "The money would have been nice, but it was fine."
The couple said they found out pretty quickly they had the county's first babies of the new year.
"People ask me all the time if I planned that. No, I did not," Lauren said. "As soon as I delivered, they were like, 'OK, let's call whoever and see.' I guess it's a big deal for them. The nurses were so excited. And with it being quads, I think that just elevated everything."
The couple said that, as news spread, they were showered with well-wishes and gifts, including a six-month-supply of diapers from a local church and baby clothes from other parents of multiples.
Nick said the distinction of having the first babies was "the cherry on top," but he was mainly just relieved to be finished with the stress of Lauren's high-risk pregnancy and moving on to the next phase.
The babies weighed between 2 and 4 pounds each at birth. Including Lauren's bed rest and the time they spent in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), the Lakes stayed at the hospital for 114 days. Michaela and Isaiah went home Feb. 28. Dakota was released two weeks later and James three days after Dakota.
Lauren said it was an amazing feeling when all four children were finally home.
"Relief. Just like — finally. The family's together. We're all home," she said.
The family turns heads and fields questions everywhere they go, Lauren said, which can be frustrating at times, like when people take pictures of the kids without asking.
"Questions I don't mind, as long as it's nice," Lauren said. "But we need to put up a little sign on our wagon: 'Please refrain from photography.' I would never take a picture of someone else's child. Why are you taking pictures of my kids? They are not a circus act. These are my children. Yes, there's four of them and I know that's a lot, but …"
The Lakes haven't really talked to the kids about their "celebrity" status yet, but plan to when they are older.
"This will follow them now for life, which is kind of a nice little bonus," Nick said. "It doesn't define them by any means, but it's neat."

A single-vehicle crash on Piney Heights Road in Langley Monday morning has resulted in the death a Warrenville man, according to Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton.
Wayne Ford, 55, was pronounced dead on the scene from multiple body trauma. The crash occurred at approximately 7:04 a.m.
Ford was traveling east on Piney Heights Road when he lost control of the 1998 Ford Ranger P/U he was driving, Carlton reported. As he entered a curve near Cato Road, he left the roadway, over corrected the vehicle, went across the westbound lane and struck an embankment.
Ford was ejected from the vehicle. He was not wearing his seat belt.
Carlton said Ford was traveling at a speed higher than the posted 45 MPH.
S.C. Highway Patrol is investigating the crash along with the Aiken County Coroner's Office. Toxicology is pending. This is the 19th traffic fatality in Aiken County in 2013.

Badass Blog from the MagFed Uprising Event by Dye Tactical's WCP Clan
Wednesday, October 30th, 2013
Another Successful World Combat Paintball (WCP) Magfed Event
by: WCP Clan -> "Hambo"
The day is October 5th, 2013. 0900 hours and the heat is already among us in the hills of North Carolina. Command Decisions Wargames Center, players from all around the south eastern state have gathered to do one thing and one thing only, play MagFed paintball. The training event was scheduled and put on by Chad "Hoot" Moore as an event known as MagFed Uprising to bring awareness to the up and coming gameplay of MagFed paintball.
Companies such as DYE Tactical, Milsig and Stark Pursuit all had strong showings at the event. Each company had something a little different to showcase but all with the same end goal in mind, to support magfed gameplay and make it a more prolific event so that we can bring more players into the sport of paintball. Milsig Paintball had Doug Brown on hand to tech and lend out various models of Milsig markers. Stark Pursuit had their Zeta Mags on hand to demo to pistol players that might not have heard of this slick new magazine. DYE Tactical was represented by their sponsored team WCP to offer FREE Dye Assault Matrix's as marker loaners, to help spread the word to those that maybe haven't heard about the DAM. At one point Spanky from WCP even had to loan out his personal DAM due to the demand for DAMs!
At 1000 hours the first type of training game was a 5v5 single mag elimination game. This type of gameplay taught you to be effective with a maximum of 20 rounds and that made it fair across the board with every player.
Next event, onto two magazines and 10v10 central prop games. These games were so fun that it seemed to make me feel as if I were new to the sport again just simply by changing the dynamics of the games due to not having 180 plus rounds at the disposal of one trigger pull. Teams such as Callsign Boxer, Da Immortals, WCP, and a multitude of walk ons all agreed the 10v10 prop games seemed to blur the lines of magfed and other styles of paintball due to its fast pace and adrenaline filled assaults. Team WCP was utilizing their DAMs with Dye CG paint and we were pretty much unstoppable through every round of competition!
After Lunch there was a 2v2 bracket of pistols only hosted by Stark Pursuit. The winners of the 2v2 event each would be awarded with one of the all new Zeta Mags. Stark Pursuit encouraged everyone to come down and play pistols only by supplying players with not only with Zeta Mags to use but also packs and pistols, complete with paint! I personally had never played with the Zeta Mags before but found them very easy to manipulate and convenient to have 20 rounds packed into one pistol mag. Stark Pursuit set the bar for action by giving each player one mag and providing one extra mag in the center of the field for either team to obtain. There were about 20 teams of two from all the players attending. WCP entered three teams with two of those teams making it to the semifinals. At the end, Kraken and Jaws of WCP were the winners of competition and two brand new Zeta mags!
The last part of the event was an hour and half scenario which would be a single hit elimination round where the opfor (Callsign Boxer, Da Immortals, and other players) would have an injured hostage waiting in an undisclosed location on the field. The rescue team (WCP, Tango Alpha Two, and other players) would insert in an undisclosed location and attempt to locate and extract the injured hostage. Sounds easy right? Wrong. While the majority of players were taking shots at each other on the 2v2 pistol competition, Callsign Boxer was hydrating and range testing their SAR12s, DAMs and Milsig markers with first strike rounds. The battle was fierce with the rescue team making a strong push near the end, but Callsign Boxer and the opfor team would go on to prove too much of an adversary to complete the objective within the allotted 90 minute game period, kudos to them.
So when is the next MagFed event? The next organized major MagFed event will be on November 8th, the Friday of Fulda Gap Scenario which is also held at Command Decisions Wargames Center in Taylorsville NC. Don't have a magfed marker? Don't worry WCP & Dye Tactical will be onsite with FREE DAM loaners again to let you test drive the markers and see what all the DAM hype is! Make sure you mark the event on your calendar and come out and join us!
Hambo Out!

Google Scholar added the option to get email alerts when new articles related to your interests are published. For some reason, this feature is not available in Google Alerts and Google Scholar still doesn't offer feeds for search results.
Google Scholar's email alerts feature is special because Google changes your to get better results (for example, [statistical speech recognition] has been changed to [statistical intitle:"speech recognition"]), Google shows a list of sample results and you can manage the alerts only in Google Scholar.
To try the new feature, go to Google Scholar, search for something you're interested in and click on the ugly email icon placed at the top of the search results pages. Even if it's extremely useful for students and researchers, Google Scholar has a cluttered interface with many options. It's the only Google service that uses a check box on the homepage.

Hello all,
I have had preeclampsia with two previous pregnancies. I just got results from a 24 hr urine test come back at 210 at 35 weeks. It was at 120 at 30 weeks. Do you think it is safe to assume I should preeclampsia is just around the corner? With my daughter I has a c-section at 37 weeks. You think I should prepare for another 37 week delivery? Thanks!

Police were called by a man claiming someone got raped. He was very vague with dispatchers and even more so when police arrived. He told police, according to the report, that the victim had just left the residence on foot. The man then changed his story and said she did not get raped, but she was assaulted. He said his brother was the suspect and he came home and started punching the victim in the head and the complainant witnessed it first-hand, according to the report.
The officer recalled passing a male subject on a road to the house and the subject fit this mans brothers description.
Other officers started patrolling the area for this suspect and found him sleeping behind a dumpster near a local business.They questioned this man, and according to the report, he said he had assaulted the victim and the complainant. He said he had been out of town and came home to find the two in bed together.
The complainant then changed his story and admitted to being in bed with the female. He said he did not want to press charges, now.
The officer then asked the suspect if he lived with his brother, and he said not really.
The suspect was then placed on trespass notice from the brothers residence. The report said he was also told he could not sleep behind the dumpster and that he needed to keep moving.

Zero in my opinion but some folks seem to like the look.
Hi guys! I would like to hear some opinion regarding the advantages of using 30P over 24P.
Zero in my opinion but some folks seem to like the look.
Hey Noah, Does 30P require a pull down mechanism like 24p? My guess would be no...
No- there is no need because there are 30 progressive frames exactly matching 60 interlaced fields.
The only case would be in lighting. If you are shooting with an HMI without a filcker free balast, or in areas that have alot of fluorescent (not Kino) lighting (i.e. a store) then shooting 24p will have lighting variances during the shot. Shooting at 30p should not, and then you can also do what ever you want in Magic Bullet.
Actually - you can get flourescent flicker in 30p as easily, if not easier, than 24p.
You get filcker in 30. You get a slow dimming and brightening in 24.
You will also get 'dimming and brightening' in 30 with any use of the shutter or pscan, under flourescents. The flicker, is a color temperature varience that under certain shutter speeds, becomes like looking at bicycle spokes. You start to see the color temperature varience oscillate at slower speeds.
It's the oscillating color temperature that also causes the dimming and brightening.

CRESTVIEW — A public-private partnership between Okaloosa County's Economic Development Council and local government and business has added hundreds of new jobs at Bob Sikes Airport.
As the News Bulletin reported in November 2012, L3 Crestview Aerospace began construction last month on an administration building on two acres of land south of the current administration building. Work on an 80,000-square-foot hangar on L3's local campus will begin later this year, Jeff Barger, the company's vice president and general manager, said.
The expansion would bring 340 new jobs to the airport's biggest tenant while retaining approximately 80 positions, EDC interim President Kay Rasmussen said. The campus' expansion represents a $13.7 million capital investment.
Speaking to the Crestview Area Chamber of Commerce's Government Issues committee at its Wednesday meeting, Rasmussen explained the council's role as the county's economic development organization.
"The EDC is a non-profit, independent organization funded by private business owners that realize if we are successful in our objectives, it's going to help them," Rasmussen said. Public sector members include the city of Crestview.
"By us doing our job and being successful, the city benefits," Rasmussen said. "They get new businesses in their community and increases in tax revenue."
She praised Crestview as being "very pro-business," and mentioned the city's efforts to streamline business development and eliminate some impact fees.
As a private entity, the EDC has no regulatory authority, but works with partners, such as the city and county, to find ways of reducing or eliminating impediments to business development or relocation, Rasmussen said,.
"If we can see an area that can be improved upon for the greater good, we're going to reach out to that entity," Rasmussen said. "But we are not the policy makers. We are a partner. One key point is we don't do anything alone. It's all about partnerships."
The council lists manufacturing, information technology, professional business services and medical health sciences as the primary targeted high-growth, high-wage industries it seeks to attract to Okaloosa County, including Crestview and its Enterprise Zone.
"Crestview can support, successfully, all of these targeted industries," Rasmussen said.
The Enterprise Zone, the only one in the county, encompasses a corridor including a portion of Crestview, U.S. Highway 90 and the airport. It offers special incentives, tax reductions and employee training opportunities for business that locate within the zone or hire employees who live in it.
The EDC has 20 active projects, including four in the Crestview area that together could provide nearly 1,500 new jobs. State confidentiality laws precluded Rasmussen from discussing the companies' identities.
While the military and defense sector is the region's "number one economic engine," it is followed by tourism, which took a hit from the April 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The incident underscored the need to diversify the local economy, Rasmussen said.
However, the EDC was a step ahead of the disaster, she said.
"The Deepwater Horizon tragedy … had a ripple effect across our county," Rasmussen said. "Everybody started talking about diversifying our economy. We were already working on it. We have always been about diversification of our industry."
The county for years has collaborated with Eglin Air Force Base's research lab, NASA and the Space Florida research center on a major project, currently in development, for an unmanned air and ground vehicle laboratory and test center on Louis Turner Boulevard near Shalimar on University of Florida property, Rasmussen said.
With fire and wind-resistant protective walls, the lab would be for "research, development and testing of unmanned vehicles," Rasmussen said. "We're looking at small vehicles, not monster ones. This can be utilized by so many entities," including the military, public safety and environmental research.
"This is diversification for our county. There is a need for this," Rasmussen said. "This is something that even though it's not in Crestview, would benefit Crestview. It would benefit all of us."

Here's what I think. The MMO market is clearly saturated with mediocre games that haven't really changed the MMO formula for the last 10 years. The tried, overused, re-packaged, signed-sealed-delivered WoW model has ironically been the knife in the throat for several modern MMOs. Everquest Next could actually see their downfall before their own eyes and decided to do a complete design overhaul to remedy the situation.
Now here's my concern with ESO.
There were numerous reports from people who played the game at the PAX east stating the game did not play much different from the leak video. One prime example is Force's comparison (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7ZOHa2HKgs). Forget about the criticisms of the video itself like the graphics quality, I'm talking about the overall FEEL of the game which one can get enough of a sense of. They are all pretty much saying it is not going to be like Skyrim, Oblivion, or Morrowind online but rather, a more typical MMO with lots of Elder Scrolls elements in the mix.
Now here's where I start to get worried about ESO.
So far this is looking more like an MMO that happens to be placed in the TES universe. The mere fact that the devs had qualms about adding in first person, an integral part of any TES game, implies that they were probably more focused on the MMO aspect of the game. But in a market that is heavily saturated with average MMOs that haven't really done anything new, I think it is very risky to take this approach. People are not stupid, and if they see another MMO with the same thing done over a thousand times, more likely than not they will have little reason to stick around.
What needs to happen then?
In my mind it's quite simple actually. Zenimax needs to focus on making a true TES game that HAPPENS to have online capability. TES fans will be content because they get the true TES experience. And MMO fans will be pleased because an authentic, full-on TES game is a refreshing CHANGE from your standard, clicheed fantasy MMO. A fully fledged TES game in the MMO world would be the INNOVATION that MMOs need.
Everything that makes TES games great should still be there in precisely the right combination, just as they have always been- immersive gameplay, engaging quests, memorable storylines, rich lore, captivating music, elegant artstyle. This is what will set the game apart in the genre. This is what will entice players to stay. Don't get me wrong, PvP and such has to also be great, but the primary concern should be to deliver that Elder Scrollsy feel we deeply connect with! Unfortunately, I'm not sure Zenimax even has the ability to do this without grabbing some of the devs working at Bethesda (Todd Howard, are you listening?).
I will end by saying I am an optimist, and there's nothing more I wish than for this game to succeed. But after the leak video I began to have doubts. I really hope Zenimax ends up making the right decisions in the end, and tips the scale way more towards the TES side. I can't help but think that doing otherwise would be shooting themselves in the foot.
(Note: I messed up the poll insert and can't edit it anymore, there were supposed to be more choices)

Like all MMO's released in the last couple years the only thing lacking and the only thing this game needs is a Functioning and fun Endgame for the PvE and progression for the hardcore.
Thats it, it won't take much but besides PvP the only thing a game needs to to create enough PvE content to keep the people happy with enough progression and experiences to continue to hook the player into playing.

I'm not holding my breath though; I'll be keeping my distance from this game and wait it out.

if success is measured by longevity, then it has little hope to succeed.
IMO a massive amount of people will buy and play the game for a month or two as if it was a single player RPG, then move on.
then there will be a decent size core group of players that will remain, just like everything else that gets released now days.
for an mmo to have longevity like the old skool mmo's, it would have to be far and away better than anything else has to offer in this very saturated market.
i don't see TESO being that game honestly. but it should be pretty cool for what it is and worth every penny, compared to most console/single player games that have even less longevity but still cost the same.

Story MMos dont last.
TSW, Swtor, and now Defiance.
Very short term appeal with no longevity for the dedicated mmo'er
Games like EQ, DAOC, Asherons call, and even WoW are successfull because of fun progression. not cut scenes.
The way mmo's were: Community, Exploration, Character Development, Conquest.
The way mmo's are now : Cut-Scenes,Cut-Scenes, solo Questing, Cut-Scenes...
Originally posted by superconducting They are all pretty much saying it is not going to be like Skyrim, Oblivion, or Morrowind online but rather, a more typical MMO with lots of Elder Scrolls elements in the mix.
To be fair to Zenimax (even though I hate what they are doing to this game) they already said that it wasn't going to be skyrim online.
They said it was going to be an mmo with an Elder Scrolls setting.
The fault here is on the players for not paying attention.

hmm, it's gonna take a lot to make this into a success story; however my guess is Zenimax will instead go for damage control and change the payment model to make as much as possible....

I dont know who would want a TSE MMO with group play and it stick with everything that made its a great single player RPG. That would just fail on so many levels. I buy a MMO because I want a MMO. I buy a single player RPG to play like a single player RPG. Of cores I want it to be a MMO first but I want it to pull in everything it can from the single player game it can that does not break the MMO model they pick and I am not talking about DAoC. If they picked SWG sandbox then make that work, if they picked WoW they make sure the MMO part of the model works!

Then again, the latter part hasn't quite been set in stone yet. But I have heard it around.

I think the game will succeed depsite the hatemongering going on since the leaked video.
Though people have to stop creating imaginary images of what the game will be and actually look at what it is. Given the media released and interviews from those with hands on experience it'll be an MMO in the Elder Scrolls universe with all that we have come to expect from MMOs. It'll do some things differently but by and large it won't stray too far from the beaten path.
The basic game design won't change drastically from now until launch, it simply can't, they will have a budget to work to and it's far too late in the day to switch anything major. The little touches that will make this a unique experience still have time to be altered or polished and that will ultimatly be the flavour of the series. Will this upset people? No doubt, but rather than try to find the next TES singleplayer experience (which will be years off given the release gaps between them), try and see this for what it is, a new chapter in the Elder Scrolls experience.
I still hold out hope for an enjoyable game, and I may very well get it, and I love the Elder Scrolls series. The video didn't bother me at all, as it obviously was created with a goal in mind and showed very little that people really wanted to know more about that would differentiate this from any other MMO (skill trees and aquisition, abilities, combat mechanics beyond LMB...).
The biggest thing this game really needs to succeed is for the devs to not listen to anyone on random forums and create their vision. The gaming community has shown repeatedly that it doesn't always know what it wants, quite often attacking the very thing it asked for.

1 make it possible to completely ignore quests and personal story stuff and still level just by following your compass and finding stuff to do.
2 not giving into the "faction lock is evil" brigade and implementing some crappy fudged rvr lite system in the vein of tsw or rift (if they want to make a pure pve server or ffa pvp server though, then great)
3 likewise not giving in to the instanced raid crew and implementing wow style gear progression at the expense of everyone else like crafters, pvpers and outdoor pveers. (vanilla EQ / daoc style raids would be great though)
4 not having a wow clone like glorified lobby game endgame with people sat in cities queueing to do stuff. Get people out in the world.

The IP alone will not be enough for it to succeed; that is for sure. In fact I think it will become a huge negative if the game does not feel like Elder Scrolls, but rather like a cash grab.

I am not a conspiracy theorist by any stretch of the imagination but a part of me can't help but wonder if this leak was used to temper expectations and drive down the hype of the game. Then once release comes it starts growing ever so stronger due to its core systems being perfectly TES like and the progression and endgame is there from the start.
In the long run this leaked video will do more to assist zenimax then hurt it IMO.

My response to the argument that story-driven MMOs don't generally go far is this:
Skyrim was a story-driven game that was offline, yet has among the most hours logged in any steam game with each player averaging 75 hours. Ask yourself- why is this? The bottom line is that there was still a whole lotta fun stuff to do! Whether it was questing, exploring, skilling, even modding, there was good reason to hang around.
I guess what I'm trying to say is I think TESO just has to be good enough to stand on its own-- and that means being worthy of taking a place in TES series history in this case.
That being said, it may end up being a near-impossible task for ZOS to get this game just right.
Cater to the MMO fan and the TES fans get enraged. And I can tell you now, a halfway approach at an Elder Scrolls game is not going to be enough to please TES fans who have extremely high standards and expectations in terms of quality!
Cater to the TES fan, and the MMO fan feels left out. MMO fans will just move on to the next best thing if endgame content such as progression or PvP is not fun enough.
Somebody's bound to get hurt!
- By the way, did anyone else notice a month or so ago TESO used to be #1 on the hype list on the front page of MMORPG. It has now dropped to #7 on the list.

succeed...what is success?
Ask any SWTOR fanboy and they will say its a success...then go ask the original developers that got fired, the team that got fired after that and the now former CEO of EA if SWTOR was a success or the bane of their careers.
It will be the same with TESO. The IP was chosen for its popularity and yet the base game design has the majority of its fans in an uproar for its limited design features that no amount of NPC names or TES graphics can make them play it. I still have NO DOUBT IN MY MIND that it will easily sell over 1 million copies just due to how most non-mmo players that are TES fans that will end up buying it without knowing anything about it...and then end up quiting after a monther or two which will then be followed by the newer MMO players that will buy it because they want a new MMO and see nice shiney graphics that will end up quiting because the game is chopped up into 3 and they will think its a horrible game because they dont want to be funneled into PvP lands.
In the end, the game will make a profit and in so doing, make a lot of developers unemployed and hopefully...a CEO as well.

A decade ago, MTV debuted a show called Punk'd in which Ashton Kutcher would play elaborate practical jokes on celebrities before the big reveal at the end of each episode. While the setup isn't quite the same, it's possible that Japan's Nikkei played the role of Kutcher this Sunday and the Wall Street Journal acted as the duped celebrity with a breathless report suggesting iPhone orders are about to fall off a cliff. Apple's stock has been under a ton of pressure lately, falling about 30 percent from its all-time high and this latest bit of apparent bad news has helped drive it down more, to below $500 a share today.
It started when the Journal reported: "Apple's orders for iPhone 5 screens for the first quarter, for example, have dropped to roughly half of what the company had planned to order, the people said." What's missing from that quote, however, is what Nikkei originally included and can still be found on Reuters (although no longer on WSJ): "Apple has asked Japan Display, Sharp and LG Display Co Ltd to roughly halve supplies of LCD panels from an initial plan for about 65 million screens in January-March, the Nikkei cited people familiar with the situation as saying." And that 65 million number we know is completely absurd. Just how absurd? Well, let's break it down.
For calendar fourth quarter, the one that just ended, the iPhone forecast is for 43-63 million phones. (Not all of those are iPhone 5s, of course, given that the 4s and 4 are still available.) The median of those estimates is around 49 million and a high estimate would put the iPhone 5 at 40 million of those. Since the latest iPod Touch uses the same screen, it's possible another 5 million screens would be used in the Christmas quarter for that. So let's say there is a total need for 45 million screens in the quarter that just ended.
Every year since the iPhone has launched, Apple has seen some seasonal drop off from the end of the year into the first quarter (what Apple calls Q2, but what is the first calendar quarter). The iPod Touch, in particular, sees a huge drop off. So no matter how strong iPhone 5 is selling, if the company needed 45 million screens last quarter, it would need fewer this quarter. How many? Perhaps 40 million or so. Of course, if Apple had ordered more than it needed last quarter to make sure that it was ahead of the game, it would need fewer still going into winter and might only require 30-35 million. The truth is, we don't know,, but then neither does Nikkei, or its unnamed sources.
None of this stopped a credulous WSJ from running the story as front-page news just eight days ahead of Apple's Jan. 23 earnings announcement. It's pile-on season for the Cupertino, Calif. consumer-electronics giant, which has apparently "lost its edge" according to most everything you read these days. It's an interesting spin given that the company sold 37 million iPhones in the holiday quarter this year and even the lowest end of the forecast would be a 20 percent boost to that number. (At 50 million, year-over-year growth would be 35 percent.)
Nevertheless, the latest rumors about Apple slashing component orders, in fact, come on the heels of supposedly positive developments at competitors. First, we heard "good news" from Nokia, which reported shipments of 4.4 million Lumia phones in the year-end quarter. Never mind that we are talking less than 2 percent market share for Nokia or that sales were boosted by heavy discounting, often down to $99 at retail — less than half what competing phones sell for. This is good news in the land of Nokia. It might not be repeatable as the Windows Phone platform has yet to prove especially popular, but was unequivocally spun as a positive pretty much everywhere it was reported.
Similarly, Cnet was very excited about Samsung's announcement that the Galaxy S phone line had crossed the 100 million mark in total sales. The phone is so desirable, "Sales of the flagship Galaxy S3 reached 30 million units in 5 months, and 40 million in 7 months, with average daily sales of about 190,000 units." You'd think that it's the hottest thing going with those numbers. Of course, as we were just discussing above, in the quarter just ended, Apple will have sold about as many iPhone 5′s as Samsung has sold Galaxy S3′s in 7 months! This is what the "experts" are already calling trouble and they haven't seen the numbers yet.
Now, of course, Samsung is also selling the prior generation S2, which Cnet tells us, "…is described as a steady bet after recording sales of over 40 million in 20 months." So that's about 2 million a month for that model to go with the 17 milllion S3 phones Samsung apparently moved in Q4. In other words, if we just compare the last two generations of phones, Apple sold somewhere around 35-45 million last quarter while Samsung moved about 23 million. It's certainly true that Samsung has a number of less-expensive entry models and will outsell Apple in raw numbers. But when one looks at "profit share" and wonders why Apple will continue to earn more of it in smartphones than Samsung, those numbers tell the story.
Certainly, if iPhone 5 demand is indeed falling off the cliff that the WSJ claims it is, things will change next quarter. And perhaps Apple's earnings report next week will tell us more about that. Then we'll find out who's really getting punk'd.

Partly Cloudy
Wind: 3 mph
By Pierre Hall
As a community member and skate park advocate I find it hard to understand the need for two skate parks in such a small community, especially with an average of four percent of the population as active skateboarders. I have been working for almost four years now trying to create a skate park, not only for our small tri-town area, but as a model for the rest of Vermont to follow. Someone did beat us to the chase in Bondsville, where the town funded a concrete bowl for area skaters. Even with a long drive, it is well worth the leg cramps along the way to go and skate that park.
It is not worth the drive, on the other hand, to go get hassled at the now-over-six-year-old dilapidated wooden Burlington waterfront skate park. I urge members of the community to think about the project that is going to pull money away from an already under-funded public gathering space, desperately in need of change. Here are some of the ideas that the Children First board has been working on and are hoping to implement this summer at the Brooks Recreation Field.
Ideas for creating a dynamic educational space within and around the skate park:
• Create community gardens, which will be kept by local youth volunteers, and a local non-profit Children First Inc.
• Create an educational program based around the diverse wildlife in the area, including but not limited to wild leeks, dwarf ginseng, comfrey, Solomon's seal, and an array of wild animals, all within a 10 minute walk into the woods around the park. This past summer I had the opportunity to photograph a porcupine at close range and a raven's nest with five chicks.
• Network with the local vocational technical schools to create an educational experience in repairing concrete, making forms, and pouring concrete slabs.
I know the Mad River Valley to be a great place filled with concerned citizens, so let us make something truly grand instead of wasting resources on another public space that will inevitably rot and become a health hazard to the local youth and visiting skateboarders.
In 2004 I started doing research for a skate park project anywhere in the MRV. I looked into zoning laws for Waitsfield, Fayston and Warren. Seeing that skateboarding is a recreational activity, it only made sense to me that it should be in a recreation area. There is the Couples Field, which is private, there is the lot up by Kingsbury's and the old Northern Power building, also private, there are playing fields at GMVS and Harwood, but both are fully used and don't allow room for much expansion. And then there is the Brooks Recreation field in Warren. A piece of land donated to the town for recreation purposes.
Before Open Hearth was even a dream in The Valley, and I was at some of the early planning meetings pushing the skate park agenda, a group of youth and parents went to the town of Warren and got the town to repave the existing basketball court (currently in need of expansion and a new location) and allow the space to be used for skateboarding. I think everyone can remember the slew of wooden structures that were built and subsequently destroyed due to vandalism. We have solved that issue by building in concrete.
I am currently in California networking with one of the larger skateboard distribution companies worldwide, and in the process of requesting a grant to have the Warren Concrete Skate Park completed with hired professional help. I have corresponded with a Rhode Island-based concrete skate park contractor who has expressed interest in working on the project, if we can secure the proper funding.
I now have to pose a question to the community: Do you, as a resident of the Mad River Valley, want to see another wooden skate park built, that will eventually rot and be trashed, or would you like to see an existing community space enhanced by the construction of a concrete skate park, which will involve community gardening and environmental awareness?
Feel free to contact me:

I will post back any troubles I have so I may hopefully get a solution. It funny, a year or 2 ago everyone in the Wii Homebrew community was saying a USB Loader for GC games would never work and yet here we are now lol. Makes my life easier since I no longer have to worry about scratching my discs (namely Zelda Wind Waker)

Look, if I'm going to be totally honest with you about this, then there were more than three.
But in case anyone I actually knew in 1978 is tuning in (unlikely, since no one who knows me would imagine there to be any items of remote interest in my past family stories), I shall pretend that I was a sensible, level-headed teenager who wasted no time on the fanciful imaginings of romance with handsome, unreachable mega-stars.
It began as early as the age of 12. I developed a terribly British (but rather unusual for a pre-teen girl) obsession with cricket. I never missed a Test Match. I knew the name of every player and every ridiculous player position ('deep silly mid-off' and the like). It was not the marvels of this historical game which had ignited my sudden sporting passion, however. In fact, it was not a sporting passion at all. Just a passion. Of the animal kind.
Ian Botham. 'Both', 'Beefy' or just plain 'Ian'. Who the Hell cared? Corrrrr. I am ashamed to say that I even sat and watched it with my dad, who naively believed we were having some 'dad/daughter time'. He watched the scoreboard whilst I watched Mr Botham's masterful strokes.
I kicked Ian in to touch when I first saw 'The Good, The Bad and the Ugly'. Now it was Clint. Oh, Clinty baby, what a dish you were! I hung a small but perfectly formed poster (probably cut out of some horrendous teen comic like Look-In) of Clint on my bedroom wall, directly behind my headboard. This was so I could kiss him goodnight full on the cold, papery lips. If this didn't suffice, I would use the back of my hand to practice snogging with him.
Clint, it seemed, was destined to be another's. And another's. And several more.
And then in 1978 I found John. Sadly, he never quite found me, but you can't win them all.
For most of my life I plunged these intense crushes deep into my memory, never sharing them. I suppose I thought I must be the only kid feeling this way. How many millions of other teens have done the same, I wonder? But Life's a Journey, right? We can't possibly go to our graves without sharing the memories of our passionate embraces with…..ourselves!

It's the simplest method from my "Instant Hammock" article in Make Magazine Issue #9.
I used the program "Avd Video Processor" to make these animated gifs from video.
Now on Know How! Click on the steps above for more details.
Do you like this Instructable? Digg it!. Then check out episodes one, two, four, five, six, and
First bunch up the ends and tie knots in them as shown.
If you don't have much cloth, are skilled with rope, or don't care if you fall you can skip this step.
Step 1: Tie a rope to each end with a Lark's Head knot
If you don't fall it means you did it right.
Step 2: Hang It Up, Get In, and Relax
Rachael Norman Demonstrates.
For extra coziness pull the hammock around you like a coccoon.
Step 3: Hammock Workstation for Large Drawings
Step 4: Danielle Smith Triangular Hammock
It's a bedspread tied at the corners to three trees.
Her offspring Rhett Applestone gets his relax on.
Step 5: Non Instant Traditional Maya Hammock
You should probably buy a hammock to look at (and rest in) before attempting to make your own.
Lauro lives at the entrance to Bahias de Punta Soliman in the Yucatan, Mexico.
He weaves hammocks to pass the time. Here he is at work.
He's using a netting needle just the same as the fishermen use to mend their nets.
The string is thin hammock string which is sold in fabric and hardware stores there.
Step 6: Lauro's Loom
Never mind my parents won't allow this in my room, (they don't want holes in the walls) never the less I made it at a friends house, in his backyard of course.
How do I secure the hammock to my bed room wall.
You should try some nylon material, or somethin similar. It doesn't weight much and is very strong.
Simple yet ingenious!
Going to bye a non-fitted sheet to make it better and probably some stronger rope, just to be safe. Now if only I could find an easy way to set this up inside the house. hmm
...or put some lag eyes into a couple of studs. Though that might be a little extreme.

Managed in cooperation withPotashCorp - White Springs
Scott Johns
PotashCorp - White Springs WMA is located on active phosphate mining lands in southeast Hamilton County. Four phosphate settling ponds covering nearly 4,000 acres are open for waterfowl hunting. Hunting is restricted to boats with electric motors. No wading is permitted due to the unstable nature of the pond bottoms. These ponds produce abundant invertebrates and plankton on which waterfowl feed. The most abundant species are shovelers and blue- and green-winged teal. Varying depths of water attract everything from white pelicans to black-bellied whistling ducks and occasional rarities like red-necked phalaropes and black terns. This area is a site on the Great Florida Birding Trail. For bird watching, access is available only to groups by advance reservation on the first and third Saturdays of October, February, March, April and May. Individual birders may call and ask to join a group with an existing reservation. Groups can drive/hike the dikes around the settling ponds. For reservations call (386) 397-8313. Camping is prohibited on the area.

iGoogleBar is a Firefox extension that enhances Google's navigation bar by showing the number of unread Gmail messages (only from the inbox) and the number of unread posts in Google Reader. The extension also adds icons that open Google gadgets for each service so you can preview your Gmail inbox from Google Calendar or open a recent document from Google Notebook.
For example, in the screenshot below, I visit Google Docs, but I can see that there is a single new post in Google Reader, only two unread messages in my inbox and I can easily open a bookmark from Google Notebook.
Unfortunately, the new navigation bar is displayed after the page loads, it works only in Google's communication apps and it doesn't include the More dropdown. Another big drawback is that the extension is actually a Chickenfoot script that comes with its rendering engine, which is terribly slow. In fact, the extension's XPI file has 1 MB, almost the same as Google Toolbar for Firefox.
