May be a long post but these are some of my thoughts on the hot topic that goes these days.
By reading these forums the last days i can't help but notice that some people throw it out that DF(UW) is a game only oriented towards PvP. You worry that since there is so much focus towards the pvp aspects from the threads, videos and discussions you have seen you are left alone with the impressions that the game won't leave you an option besides PvP. Let me tell: this is a mis-intepretation and it takes some insight to prove it wrong, and explain why people get this impression
PvP has trough DF history become a heavy weightstone that has at one point started growing larger and larger making it heavier to lift, and that makes the weightstone of PvE, exploration, crafting and other elements a feather on the scale compared to it. And this is why:
DF(UW) is what you make it. It's natural to approach the game from a PvP perspective when talking about Darkfall 1 because the game does in fact have great PvP aspects. The PvP in DF is what has been preserved by the minority of the people that have kept playing DF trough recent times and therefore that culture has been an outstanding and overrepresented aspect of DF and attracted other like-minded players into the game which shares the same ideas, thus making it hard to leave that path of PvP culture and leaving it 'an evil circle'. Once people started leaving DF after launch due to various reasons (which are mostly adressed in DFUW), the people remaining kept onto what was already there and what they belived could be the only thing worth saving (the unique pvp)
What I believe will happen, and what is entitled to change in DFUW:
With thousands (a pessimistic estimation) of new players, new people, new clans, new oppertunities and untouched grass to walk down you will immediately see that the other aspects and approaches towards the game (which has always been there in DF) will be much more diverse and scattered, because there will be much of the same, but also different and lots of new people to explore and make use of alternative approaches and elements - preserving and making the weightstone heavier leading to a more balanced weightscale in UF.
Why would anyone approach the game differently this time, if PvP is and has always been the major aspect? Things will be different, and I believe you will have to, because the playerbase will be bigger,diverse and much more alive than what it is now, and it won't have the drastic downfall of playerbase that led the rest of the DF player evacuate and only taking PvP with them. Only the fact that DF UW is different in terms of crafting gear and resource control/gathering itself is enough to lead it onto a whole different path than what DF did. But this isn't something that require changes in mechanics, it just required a healthy playerbase.
Let me give an example: No clans in DF today are in need of a lumberjack clan consisting of only people who likes to go in the forest and chop wood and make a living/funding out of it. This is because all materials have been preserved and gained at a ratio that is unproportinal compared to the intented playerbase of the game. This is where I confidently believe DF UW will not suffer the same fate and will keep up with a better playerbase and perhaps making a lumberjack clan more viable, if not neccesary if the playerbase keeps up- (at DF early months there were many guild having to go out and mine/chop wood in groups, this was at a point when population was good). When this is not neccesary today clans will jus jump on eachother and fight and fight, because such a thing as resource managament and economy hasn't proven to be an issue due to unproportial gains of resources resulted by small playerbase and clan sizes trough recent times DF.
Much of the isses that emit from the current darkfall have had it roots from the low population.. the example above is just one of them. I try to say that DF 1 had rough times which kept the grass from blooming, and the remaining playerbase have since then emitted signals to the non-DF players that this game is only about the PvP, bcause PvP has been foremost and popular culture as a result of the popularion that only could support this kind of PvP. The other weightstone elements of DF have been ruled out by time, because none really cared to save it, there havent been any need to because the size of warfare today only require as much as long as the playersize is as it is, which it won't be in DF UW.
The issues above are more or less a result of bad playerbase, and I dare to say DF UW won't suffer from it in the same way: AV has learned from their mistakes. DF UW will retain all the greatness DF had, and rule out things that only had a negative effect on the playerbase, this is more than enough to assume DF UW will keep a very solid playerbase but also go on a way different path un-related to playerbase issues at all. DF UWs fate is not written, and should not by any means have its first chapters written based on the ending of an entire different book called Darkfall.
In conclusion: DF 1 at launch emitted much more diverse and different signals, and the weightstones were more even. Darkfalls mechanics have not changed at all since then, still so much is different since DF 1 launch and now . Population dropped and the playerbase were forced to preserve the PvP aspects and a strong PvP culture which has resulted to DF shaping to emitt exactly these signals of being ''pvp oriented' game. That itself proves how Darkfall is a sandbox game in my opinion.
I may be wrong about all this, although I highly doubt it.DF UW will be a hell of a nice experience both short term and long term regardless (for me atleast).DF 1 has for me given the best gaming experience for years despite of its flaws or un-even weighstones. And i have never even considered myself a PvP-er

Although these aren't facts and just your opinions i can see where you are comming from.
AS to the guy above me ^, this fellow is trying to open up the eye's of potential new players so they don't come to this forum and see PvP plastered all over the palce because Darkfall does indeed have more to offer then PvP. No reason to be rude with bold =P.
Nice read.

I changed the title. I just wanted to shed some light as to why the current game gives the impression to only cater to PvPers, which is keeping some people believing DF UW is all about PvP and repelling off potential players that may may not be all-in PvPers- which I believe is not neccesary at all

hopefully DF UW will change that. but it does pvp very well so why change something that isnt broke.
there are 2 types of mmo, imitators and innovaters.

Thats all it caters to, if you try and entice those not looking just to PvP you are going to have many raising hell on these forums after trying it and finding out first hand the main and pretty much only focus of this game is PvP.

I know the craftering and the look of crafted items have drastically change. Each weapon has 8 tiers with 8 different looks. I am not sure what they changed for housing yet but I know they revamped holdings placements and locations. I cant wait to explore.

Yeah, they have put a lot of diversity in the crafting appearance now. For example this concept image shows the aesthetic choices you can pick for making 1H and 2H Axes. Once you pick that the quality of the materials you use has a dramatic effect on the resulting weapon appearance, a small example of the same axe of different quality can be seen here. The end result will be a lot of variety and choice in what your gear looks like.

Tasos Stated at the end of an interview here at mmorpg.com that they plan to make darkfall uw to be the best PvP experience on the market as that is what the team that is building this game wants it to be. There are plenty of things to do in the game but I must say it all will eventually lead to PvP because of the FFA system and the risk of death and loss a all times.
I won't be pvping all the time,much like a lot of others. I'll be exploring and having fun with friends out in the world.

after reading all that, about all i gained from it, was that there were too many resources in DF1, and that people will flock to DF2 because they can chop wood... and that will make the place seem more 'alive'
The downside is that unless they really do improve DF2 from just being a DF1 server wipe with better graphics, then these player numbers are not going to just magically appear, there are some very good underlying reasons why DF1 did not do well, and that had a great deal to do with the core game mechanics as anything. And its in this area at least, that more work needs to be done. Thats not to say that better graphics arent a good thing, DF1's graphics were in desperate need of an 'overhaul' but graphics alone is not enough, and just because players won't be able to gain resources at the rate they used to be able to do, isnt going to make that much of a difference. The game needs more than just a paint job and wishful thinking.

This is my quote.
DF has things to offer other than PVP, but as somebody said, it all eventually leads to PVP. So if you're looking for something to keep you busy that would completely remove you from PVP, look elsewhere. There are basically two aspects to DF: 1. Pure PVP, when you go out with full intention of getting into a PVP fight (raiding cities, sieges etc). 2. Everything else with a CHANCE of PVP. Just about everything you do, there's a chance of PVP, it's the nature of FFA (FREE FOR ALL) open world PVP game. If you're looking to avoid PVP, then look for another game, there's hundreds of them on the market.
That said, there's a lot of things to do in Darkfall aside from PVP, but I'll stress again, there's always a chance that whatever you're doing will end up in PVP. So while you can do A LOT of things that are completely unrelated to PVP, such as PVE, gathering, crafting, exploration, trade, questing, there will always be a chance that you'll get into a PVP fight while doing those things. It's what makes Darkfall awesome.

SuperSmart Grid
Since 2007, we have focused our work on two broad and closely interconnected questions: (1) whether it is desirable for Europe to achieve 100% renewables in cooperation with North Africa (energy security block), and (2) how Europe, alone or in cooperation with others, can achieve the infrastructure necessary to generate and integrate 100% renewables (policy block).
In the energy security block, the emphasis is on improving the understanding of risks, ranging from climate to geopolitical risks, which may arise in an intercontinental renewable electricity scheme. In particular, we focus on developing methods capable of assessing various supply risks in scenarios concerning the future electricity supply.
The policy block seeks to answer the question how a decarbonisation of the European (and North African) power sector with only renewables can be achieved. In this, we emphasise two issues: the importance of expanding the electricity transmission grid within Europe and between Europe and North Africa, as well as the obstacles (especially the investor perception of these) for building renewable generation capacity and transmission lines in Europe and North Africa.
Focused around these two questions, our research is problem-driven and strongly interdisciplinary, at the intersection of political sciences, policy analysis, international relations, sociology, public management, engineering and economics, rather than being rooted in one research discipline only. This means that the research we conduct addresses a wide range of issues, drawing on the appropriate methods from different disciplines and contributing to the corresponding theories. In this sense, our research approach matches the changing role of science in society, where scientific results are more and more expected to be directly policy relevant.

The State of Oklahoma is honoring an elite group of men by renaming 55 miles of SH-3 between Antlers and Broken Bow the "World War I Choctaw Code Talkers Highway."
The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and the Choctaw Code Talkers Association are hosing a dedication of the section of highway at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, September 6, near where it begins at the intersection of SH-3 and the Indian Nation Turnpike in Antlers.
Parking for the event will be at the Cross Timbers Church.
"It is very fitting to name this beautiful stretch of road through Pushmataha and McCurtain counties after the Choctaw Code Talkers," said Chief Gregory Pyle. "Many of them were from this area. The recognition by the state will add to education others about the first men who used their native language as a weapon."
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation will place permanent markers in both Antlers and Broken Bow, bearing the name.
Ruth McMillan, a member of the executive committee of CCTA, wanted to honor the soldiers and suggested naming a highway after them.
Rep. R.C. Pruett introduced the legislation to get the name changed to WWI Choctaw Code Talkers Highway.
With hard work and help from Pruett and many others, McMillan was able to see her vision fulfilled.
"A dream can be a dream, but it has to become a reality, said Nuchi Nashoba, CCTA president. "It takes pulling together as a team to make things happen.
Out of the 19 original Choctaw Code Talkers, 14 resided in the state's 19th district and walked the highway often, Nashoba said.
"A lot of descendants still live in that area," continued Nashoba.
"I'm excited that they are finally getting the history documented and the recognition so that people understand there were Code Talkers in the first World War and not just the second one," said Beth Lawless, CCTA member.
In 1917, Choctaw Indians were not citizens of the United States, and their language was considered obsolete.
The Germans had decoded Allied Forces' messages before Choctaw soldiers used their native language as a code for military messages.
When the Choctaw language was spoken over the field telephones, the Germans had no idea what the Choctaws were saying and couldn't effectively spy on them.
A captured German officer confessed that his intelligence personnel "were completely confused by the Indian language and gained no benefit whatsoever from their wiretaps."
The Choctaw language helped bring an end to World War I.
The 19 Choctaw Code Talkers were Albert Billy, Ben Carterby, Benjamin Colbert Jr., Benjamin Hampton, Calvin Wilson, George Davenport, James Edwards, Jeff Nelson, Jospeh Oklahombi, Mitchell Bobb, Noel Johnson, Pete Maytubby, Robert Taylor, Solomon Lewis, Tobias Frazier, Otis Leader, Victor Brown and Walter Veach.
Funds for the sign were donated by descendants of the Code Talkers' families, state representatives and the Choctaw Nation.
The Choctaw Code Talkers Association will also be raising funds for a granite plaque to be placed on the highway to provide history of the Choctaw Code Talkers for travelers.
A lunch and reception to commemorate the dedication follow at 11:00 a.m. at the Choctaw Nation Community Center, 400 SW "O" Street in Antlers.

Rene, it sounds like it's time for you to call Kevin using the front facing camera on the iPhone 3G that he said would be in the product to tell him he's been wrong in the past.
Kevin Rose: AT&T Has to Clear Firmware Updates + Dvorak on Malicious Health Rumors
One of the most important aspects of the iPhone is how it's breathed the air of change into long stodgy, backwards thinking mobile cellular providers. We can argue whether its been less effective post iPhone 3G where subsidies have returned, but either way Apple fairly neatly removed the carrier middleman from its usual intrusive position in the smartphone space. App Store is clearly the crowning example thus far, but frequent firmware updates is sometimes likewise cited.
On the latest This Week in Tech (TWiT) podcast, however, Digg founder Kevin Rose credited an unnamed source inside Apple as saying AT&T had to approve the next iPhone firmware update. Of course, Rose has been, er... somewhat less than accurate in regards to iPhone news in the past (including his reports that the iPhone 3G would have video iChat). In his corner this time, however, are server logs showing iPhone 2.0.1 traffic on popular Apple news sites originating from both Cupertino and AT&T HQ regions.
Has AT&T always played a role in firmware testing or is this a new factor in a post 3G world? If it's new, will it make 2.x updates take longer than 1.x did? And do international carriers like 02, T-Mobile, Vodafone, Rogers, Orange, etc. all have similar advanced testing privileges? If so, will 22+ (70+ eventually) carriers wanting to test new firmware result in huge delays or staggered launches? Or is this just another well Dugg tempest in a Royal Jasmine teapot?
On a side note, the same episode of TWiT saw the crankiest of geeks, John C. Dvorak "dot org slash blog" claim that one particularly damaging rumor circulating about Steve Jobs current health was deliberately and maliciously spread at an exclusive CEO gathering by an as-yet unnamed but well known executive with a personal grudge against Jobs and Apple. Dvorak maintains the rumor, which recent reports have indicated is false, was spread to other CEOs who then propagated it, adding to the confusion and downward pressure on Apple's stock. If he can get a second anonymous confirmation on the story, Dvorak claims he will name names in his Marketwatch column.
As a huge fan of Karma, that should make for an interesting day, and likely more than a "slime bucket" response from El Jobso.

Kevin Rose: AT&T Has to Clear Firmware Updates + Dvorak on Malicious Health Rumors
God save us if AT&T has to do anything that requires intelligence. Here's my latest discovery: Their stores have no cash. I bought an AT&T-branded case that was supposedly for the 3g iPhone, but the iPhone wouldn't fit so I took it back. They said they would refund the money but none of the staff had "taken in" any cash today (this was at 4:45 p.m.) so I would have to come back and ask again if they had any cash. Linking his future with AT&T may have been Steve Jobs' worst judgment ever.
i love my iphone you guys. Visit my friend's blog about Japanese culture: http://www.thoughts.com/Pocki/blog
I thought it was common knowledge that carriers do advance testing on their devices and firmware updates, working for a large carrier I see emails all day long backing this up, "Windows mobile 6.1 has passed (insert carrier) testing", "BlackBerry OS 4.5 ver XX has passed (insert carrier) testing"...on a side note...http://m.digg.com was updated today, looking all nice and freshly designed for iPhone compatibility.
Well, again with Steve Jobs' health. I think he should just tell everyone what is up, Instead of having rumors float around and people coming up with their own thoughts about his health. But then again it's a private issue..http://blabtech.blogspot.com
"...but either way Apple fairly neatly removed the carrier middleman from its usual intrusive position in the smartphone space."
Rene, perhaps you want to rethink making that statement. AT&T has made the 3G iPhone release a monumental disaster for an Apple product launch. I would say that Apple's exclusivity deal with AT&T has put the carrier middleman squarely in its usual instrusive position, contrary to your comment.

Good High Heel Flip Flop I have wanted to buy a pair of Bebe flip flops for a while, so , finally, I did. I was impressed at the Height of the wedge.

- Subthreshold kaons would reveal density isomers (1994)
- If density isomers exist they can be detected by measuring the excitation function of subthreshold kaon production. When the system reaches the density where the density isomer has influence on the equation of state (which depends on the beam energy and on the optical potential), we observe a jump in the cross section of the kaons whereas other observables change little. Above threshold Λ¯'s or p¯'s may be used to continue the search. This is the result of microscopic Boltzman-Uehling-Uhlenbeck calculations.

The current outbreak of slander is due to my critiquing his bogus doctorate. I have done this now three times. The second and third were both as a result of his sidekicks again defending his degree on his blog. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have given it any additional thought or time since my first critique in 2004. Here they are:
James White's "Doctorate" Degree: Is it Legitimate? (vs. James White and Mark Bainter)
Anti-Catholic Reformed Baptist Apologist James White's Bogus, Non-Accredited "Doctorate" Degree Defended Yet Again (vs. Jamin Hubner)
James White Bogus "Doctorate" Issue Redux: Has No One Ever Interacted With His Self-Defense? / White Takes His Lumps from Baptist Peter Lumpkins
This paper is again in response to his stepping-up of the insults. He only hurts himself. If he would simply shut up about it, or stop allowing comrades to engage in knee-jerk defenses of the indefensible, then he wouldn't be faced with three of my four papers. Manning up and rationally defending his positions (like the scholar he falsely claims to be) is apparently out of the question: always has been where I am concerned, since 1995 and our first debate by US Mail, where he performed very poorly, insulted up and down, and fled for the hills when he had no more answers to straightforward logical questions.
His Dividing Line webcast of 22 February 2011 exhibited the by-now classic and timeworn (YAWN) White attack dog tactics. He described the attack portion in his blog announcement for it as "A few comments at the end about . . . some of the looniness currently being seen out on the net." Here is what he said on the public webcast (you can hear it yourself following the link above):
[53:11] But isn't it nice, in this situation, to be able to answer these questions and to do so in a respectful and biblical fashion. And it really strikes me as an amazing example in contrast to the abject looniness that is going on out in the world today, specifically in the Internet.
[53:55] There is another Muslim out there . . . his nickname is grandverbalizer19 . . . [55:00] Some of you know that right now on certain blogs out there in the blogosphere, there is so much libel, slander, bile, hatred, anger, and the number of lies defies the imagination, being thrown about by people . . . the silliest combox comment I've ever seen in the entirety of my life . . . [56:19] This is on Dave Armstrong's blog. Where else, but on good old DA's blog, will you find something as utterly inane as this?!! [laughs] Here it is [quotes the comment made in my combox on 2-21-11] . . . [57:37] . . . on Dave Armstrong's blog, where , of course, they were recycling stuff that is now, what, 1999 or something like that, from a Mormon; it's nowhere near accurate anymore . . . it's been debunked a thousand times before, but it's the best Dave's got, you know, you gotta give the guy credit; he gets refuted and he keeps repeating himself. It's a sad thing to watch. . . . [58:48] Folks, give these people the amount of weight they have earned. Okay? That means someone like a grandverbalizer19, or a Dave Armstrong, or a Peter Lumpkins, or a Ray or Roy, or any of the rest of these people. Give them the credibility they have earned, which is absolutely, positively none. Keep that in mind.
1) It is beyond silly to blast me for every remark made on my blog by people I don't agree with (this person is a Muslim). It's a little thing called "free speech." I know that White has only a dim familiarity with it because he has never allowed any comments at all on his blog. He used to at least claim that he allowed free debate in his chat room, but I was routinely kicked out within minutes by one of his henchmen (usually David T. King) when I dared to show up. I was banned from his buddy Eric Svendsen's discussion board years ago, and from his crony John Q. Doe's blog a few months back. I've had comments deleted in another fellow anti-Catholic, Steve Hays' blog. But I rarely ban people. Even when I do, they are usually allowed back (e.g., Doe sidekick Ken Temple) if they will talk substantively. So, with that background, it is utterly ridiculous for White to make a big deal over this guy's comment (a person I don't know from Adam), as if it has anything to do with me ("Where else, but on good old DA's blog, will you find something as utterly inane as this?"). I get lots of inane comments, but, curiously, they are always from people I disagree with: whether they come from anti-Catholic zealots (White's crowd), or geocentrists, or radical traditionalist Catholics, or atheists. I don't agree with 'em! But they are allowed to express themselves on my blog.
2) White has great fun noting that the ridiculous remark was made on my blog. What he ignores, of course, was my response, made right below the silly comment about White supposedly becoming a Muslim. I wrote: "That's about as likely as Obama joining the tea party. :-)" I considered a stronger statement than that (such as a Hamas member becoming an orthodox Jew or some such), but my usual policy in the face of ludicrosity is one of three things: ignoring it, resorting to humor, or understatement. I chose the third in this instance; but in any event, I clearly disagreed with it. Yet White thinks it is perfectly ethical to make fun of the fact that it appeared on my blog (that allows free speech), as if this proves anything about me, while ignoring my stated disagreement with it, right below it. That would be context; that would actually be fair, and thus, White doesn't do that, because he has not been noted for his emphasis on being fair to my positions or to me personally (there's another example of my extreme understatement).
3) "on Dave Armstrong's blog, where , of course, they were recycling stuff that is now, what, 1999 or something like that, from a Mormon." I wasn't "recycling" anything. As I stated above, I had no thoughts about this stuff at all. I knew nothing about the threads on Peter Lumpkins' blog. I merely happened to check in on White's blog, and I ran across statements about the fake doctorate degree from his buddy Rich Pierce:
We have never hidden this from anyone but have yet to have a single critic actually interact with Dr. White's reasoning for following the path that he did.
This is a flat-out lie, since I did exactly that in 2004, in my first article on the topic, listed above. It is because of the falsehood that I again wrote about it. When people lie, it only gets them into more trouble than the initial issue has already caused them. I have two photographs that were taken by a Mormon. Nothing is inaccurate about them. The Columbia Evangelical Seminary was in this building and this room that were shown in the photos. I had some fun with it; it was obviously semi-humorous. But White has never taken well to any humor at his expense -- while he dishes out a ton of it at others' expense: often involving falsehood somewhere along the line. Here's some more humor. I wrote on Lumpkins' blog tonight:
Proud to be a fellow loon, Peter! . . . I dared to note that White got his "doctorate" by mailing in 100 proof-of-purchase labels from boxes of Cheerios.
White is quite irrational enough to be capable of thinking that I actually literally believe this. :-)
4) White and his followers haven't "debunked" anything in this regard. He has given a rationale for his reasoning in getting a degree from an unaccredited school, but he hasn't shown that his degree is legitimate, or that he has earned the right to call himself a "Dr." as if he is an academic, with all that that entails.
5) I need not respond to his endless personal, merely juvenile rank insults towards me (loony, no credibility and so forth, ad nauseum); I never do. I merely expose them, and they refute themselves. The more extreme the better, from where I sit; he only hurts himself. I have pointed out a few matters of fact in this paper, and how White has distorted them. It's standard White tactics, sad to say. I know: as a persistent target of his for 15 years.
Baptist pastor Peter Lumpkins (a thoughtful, reflective Protestant not burdened by a ridiculous and irrational anti-Catholicism as White is) was kind enough to write the following about me on his blog:
From one loon to another, thanks for logging on ;^). More seriously, I've read some of your stuff. And, you're no loon, I assure. Obviously, we'd have some profound disagreements in certain theological areas. But there is also much in which we could agree.
One thing seemed certain from my brief reading of your material, Dave--you're careful in your language and you appear to disagree with restraint.
I replied:
Thanks for your kind words, and for reading some of my writing.
There is, of course, much we agree on. The irony is that the same is true between White and myself. We could work together against abortion, homosexual "marriage," KJV-only, Mormonism, Islam, Jehovah's Witnesses, atheism, liberal theology (of all stripes), defense of the inspiration of the Bible and the Trinity and Grace Alone, etc. I've written about all these things, excepting KJV-onlyism.
But White can never acknowledge any of that (I have, the other way around). And that is because he defined me from the beginning of our interactions (in 1995) as never a Christian at any time (I used to be an Arminian evangelical before I became a Catholic), and certainly not now. Therefore, nothing I do, even when he agrees, can possibly be of any worth.
If there is anything "loony" here (I don't return his insult; I'm being rhetorical), it is that foolish attitude. The devil absolutely loves dividing and conquering. It's one of his most successful strategies.
I have always said that if White is ever to be corrected, it would have to come from his fellow Baptists or even his inner circle. The sad thing, though, is that he seems to respond no more to critique from Baptists than anyone else. He attacks Protestants who disagree with him just as irrationally and unscrupulously as he attacks Catholics like myself.
Curious, though, isn't it, how White regards me as dumber than a doornail (so he says), yet has challenged me three times to an oral debate (in 1995, 2001, and 2007). It seems to be a cyclical thing (he's due again in 2013). So how can this be? Does it mean that he seeks out the very worst opponents he can find? Or does he look for the best, most able opponents?
I always interact with the sharpest opponents I can find, myself, if I am looking for an intelligent, constructive debate.
Look for more obscurantist, sophistical, obfuscatory, paranoid, irrational, insulting replies from White. He always claims to not care about these things, but his extreme replies put the lie to that. He even was perhaps subtly conspiratorial in his webcast, referring to an allegiance of "Muslims, Arminians . . ." against him. He didn't include Catholics, but of course he mentioned me, and people who know me online at all know that I am a Catholic. So it's the grand conspiracy of Muslims, Arminians (he didn't want to say Baptist; that wouldn't sound too good), and Catholics: all motivated by (how did he put it?): "libel, slander, bile, hatred, anger, and . . . lies." That's us, folks! All who disagree with White must be liars and evil people and loons and utterly lacking in all credibility, you see. How could it possibly be otherwise?
Martin Luther would have consented to White being drowned by the local magistrate for sedition and heresy (since he did so with the Anabaptists, on the grounds of their belief in adult believer's baptism). I say he is a fellow Christian and recipient of two valid sacraments (baptism and marriage). But I am supposedly filled with hatred and an inveterate liar, just like all his other critics.

Ratajczak and Weaver Stay In Lead After Defeat

ERIE, PA – Adam Weaver and Ryan Ratajczak maintained their individual national rankings, but the Hilbert College men's volleyball team battled to a 3-0 United Volleyball Conference league loss at Penn State Behrend March 21. The Lions improved to 4-7 while pushing the Hawks to 2-9 in conference play.
Weaver, ranked #2 in kills per set, recorded 13 kills and added six digs and two blocks while Ratajczak (#5 in digs per set) was credited with 11 digs.
Nathan Steele led the hosts with 11 kills to help the Lions (11-11) set a new program record for the most wins in a season during their second year of Division III status.
The Hawks challenged Behrend in the opening set, before dropping 25-19. The couldn't get going in the second set and found themselves down by ten points before they fell 25-14.
Like the first set, Hilbert grabbed the first point in the third set, but unlike the two previous games, the Hawks controlled the game's pace. Each team traded points the entire way with Hilbert holding the lead until a 14-14 tie. The Lions stretched their score by 3 points before Hilbert fought back and took a 23-21 advantage late. Back-to-back Behrend kills combined with a Hilbert hitting and service reception error gave the Erie, PA school a 25-23 come-from-behind victory.
Seniors Scott Ross added 8 kills, just one more than Fred Sickau. Hilbert finished with .167 hitting percentage and, for the first time this year, zero service aces.
The Hawks travel to Keuka College (3/27) and Wells College (3/30) before they close out their season at home against Behrend (4/3) and Thiel College (4/9).

It was very discouraging to read the recent Daily Times front page article titled, "Johnson asks questions on Third Street Issue." Especially the part where First Ward Councilman Kevin Johnson was critical of the City Planning Commission's lack of questioning of Shawnee State University representatives, who made a presentation before the commission to discuss the partial closure of Third Street.
With all the other issues that face our elected city officials, why is it that they continuously throw roadblocks in the path of progress for the two largest employers in the city of Portsmouth and the gems of our community? I am speaking about Southern Ohio Medical Center and Shawnee State University.
SOMC employs 2,304 health care professionals and pays $2.4 million dollars annually in income tax to the city of Portsmouth. SOMC has world class physicians, state-of-the-art medical facilities and provides cutting edge medical technology and care to tri-state residents.
Shawnee State University is the youngest state university and also the fastest growing in the state university system. SSU employs 887 professionals in our city and supports more than 3,700 jobs in the area. SSU employees pay close to $400,000 in city income tax. The total economic impact to our community by SSU is $93 million annually.
The university has an enrollment of more than 4,600 students, with 998 of those students living in university housing facilities. These students cross Third Street numerous times each day either attending a class, lecture, labs, social and athletic events and eating their meals at the University Center. Their safety is the utmost concern to (University President) Dr. (Rita) Morris and the SSU Board of Trustees. The students at SSU are a big piece of the Portsmouth economy, spending money on a daily basis for food, entertainment and gasoline.
Dr. Morris and the Board of Trustees are continuously striving to provide the best educational environment for students who come from many states and numerous international countries to receive an excellent educational experience. Local developers Neal and Vicky Hatcher have invested millions of dollars in the future of Shawnee State and the city of Portsmouth by partnering with SSU to provide excellent campus housing facilities for students.
As a life-long resident of the city of Portsmouth, I would like to ask the following, hard-line questions to Councilman Kevin Johnson, his colleagues on city council and to Mayor (David) Malone:
1 — Why are our city leaders the most unsuitable property owners in our community? The city of Portsmouth owns the following parcels of property and each of them are deplorable, unsafe and in disgraceful condition: 728 Second Street (Municipal Building), 720 Sixth Street (The old Babcock Building), 807 Washington Street (The Adelphia Building), 2010 Charles Street (The old Naval Reserve Center), 515 Chillicothe Street (The Martings Building) and 735 Fifth Street (Martings Annex).
2 — Why do our city leaders not have a five-year and 10-year plan of economic and retail development projects that will provide a better quality of life for the citizens of Portsmouth?
3 — Why do our city leaders not have plans to upgrade our infrastructure of water lines and streets which are both in deplorable condition?
4 — Why doesn't our city have a Parks and Recreation Commission to utilize our beautiful parks and to provide properly supervised activities for our youth and families?
5 — Why do our city leaders allow the entrance approaches to our fine city to look like dump sites? The entrance into Portsmouth from New Boston on Gallia Street is trash filled, filthy, covered with fallen trees and embarrassing.
6 — Why do our city leaders allow disabled and abandoned vehicles, camping trailers, boats, hitch trailers and snow removal equipment to sit on city streets for months when city ordinances prohibit these violations?
7 — Why do our city leaders continue to violate our City Charter? Section 87 and 89 of the Charter have precise language concerning the amount of Police Officers and Firefighters that each department shall have. This is to ensure that our citizens are properly protected. Both departments have been below staffing levels for several years. The citizens of Portsmouth in both 1987 and in 2011 voted an additional tax to ensure this staffing level was provided. But our leaders fail to do what is right to protect our citizens. How can we expect officers to enforce Question 6 if there are not enough officers on the streets? Where is the tax money from the safety levy going?
These are the questions that the citizens of Portsmouth are very much concerned about that our leaders need to address.
In closing, I would ask Councilman Johnson and his colleagues to please stop being obstructionists and do everything you can possibly do to promote the gems of our community. Shawnee State University and Southern Ohio Medical Center.

Training + Illnesses
So lately I've been suffering a plethora of odd illnesses and I'm wondering how to keep up with my training.
Between getting a horrible tonsil infection that ALMOST required surgery, pink eye, and my heart acting up again and my body refusing the medication I take for my palpatations. I'm wondering how does one keep up training with such a silver platter of such crap?
I've lost some weight from being bed ridden and isolated from humanity and some cardio from fear of doing something active and having some sort of freak heart attack.
So, what should I do in such a situation? My doctor tells me to keep exercising and to keep in shape to keep my overall health in check. But really, how am I supposed to do that when my heart will go KABOOM at any given moment? Then my overall health will become a ****. **** that.

My choice is to exercise, but I have no faith in the medication anymore, so when I take up the punching bag to do something, I'm thinking to myself, "So, if I have a heart attack here and die, would this be covered under my life insurance?"
What a shitty spot to be in.

Easy walking is always good. Avoid stairs if you're worried about you're heart.
Ever tried pilates? very good for core strength, can be demanding though.
When i'm sick, like with a chest cough etc, I just tend to ease down intesity of training.
Do you use weights and things? They're usually nice to do when a chest infection has my cardio under lock and key.
Dude, heart problems = the suxxors. I feel for you man.
(note: i'm hardly qualified- thats just a general knowlege from growing up around nurses and hospitals/old peoples homes my whole life.)

In the last event before the 2012 Hurricane Junior Golf Tour Championship, golfers traveled to Hilton Head for the Identi Club Junior Challenge at the George Fazio Golf Course of the Palmetto Dunes Ocean Resort.
With more than 70 junior golfers from South Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Washington, Florida, New York, North Carolina, and internationally from Mexico, Canada, Malaysia, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, the Netherlands, Nigeria, and Chile, competition was high as two of the three divisions were decided by only one stroke.
In yet another impressive performance, Summervilles Zak Butt won the Boys 11-14 Division. Butt, who has won five other tournaments this year including the Major Championship at Pebble Creek, finished with a total score of 135(-5).
The way that Butt won was captivating. He shot a back nine 31 to blow away the field and leave no doubt who was winning this tournament. In his own words, Butt scorched the back nine.
Because of the dominant performance, Butt claimed the Par 3 and 4 Performance Challenges with averages of 2.88 and 3.88 respectively as well as sinking the most birdies and par shots.
Coming in second place in the division was Drew Weary of Bluffton. Weary shot a two-day total of 154 (+14) finishing only one stroke ahead of his older brother Alec, whose two-day total was 155(+15). In addition to beating his brother, Drew was also able to win the Par 5 Performance Challenge, which was the only statistical category not won by Butt.
In the Boys 15-18 Division, Ewen Ferguson of Glasgow, Scotland came out on top. After the second round of play was completed, Ferguson, who attends the Junior Players Golf Academy, was tied for the lead with Philip Loeb of Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. and had to win a one-hole playoff to win his division.
Ferguson knocked a six-foot birdie putt in the back of the cup to seal the victory and the Player of the Year points race. While Loeb did not win the Boys 15-18 Division, he was able to sink the most par shots (23) in addition to coming in second in the Par 4 Performance Challenge while Ferguson claimed the Par 3 Performance Challenge title for his division.
In the Girls 15-18 Division, the ladies of the Junior Players Golf Academy swept the boards by winning first, second, and third place. Winning her first tournament of the year after finishing in second place several times was Isidora Quevedo of Chile, who also won the Player of Year points race with her victory.
Coming in second behind Quevedo was Anita Uwadia of Lagos, Nigeria. Uwadia, who recently won the South Georgia Junior Classic, narrowly missed out winning the first place trophy by shooting a 151(+11).
Coming in third in the division was Teresa Casasus of Spain. Casasus, who recently won the Loudmouth Golf Junior Open at Patriots Point, shot a two day total of 153 (+13).

MAYSVILLE, Ky. - The Belfry Middle School Pirates continue to roll toward a state championship with their convincing 46-0 win over Mason County on Saturday.
Coming off a great week of practice, the Pirates took on the Royals of Mason County, and executed their offense to near perfection.
The BMS offense hit the end zone early and often to rack up 316 total yards, while holding Mason County to only 38.
After a strong defensive stand by the Pirate defense, Belfry's offense got rolling. Andrew Fletcher took the ball 53 yards to pay-dirt to get the Pirates going. The PAT kick by Austin Woolum made it 7-0 with 4:43 left in the first quarter.
After a 40-yard punt return by the BMS special teams, Devin Varney scored from 11 yards out to cap a four-play 31- yard drive. The extra point kick by Woolum made it to 14-0.
The Pirates continued to roll second quarter with Austin Hall getting in on the scoring with a 9-yard TD run. Woolum's PAT brought the score to 21-0 with only minutes before the half ended.
After a quick defensive stop, the Pirates came up with a punt block by Cameron Catron. Catron quickly scooped up the ball and ran into the end zone to give the Pirates a 27-0 score heading into halftime.
Catron wasn't finished with his fine special team play. He took the second half kickoff to the Royals 35-yard line. Varney then took the first handoff of the half and went 35 yards to the end zone. Woolum's PAT made it 34-0.
On Belfry's fifth possession of the game, Catron called his own number and ran a keeper around the end for a 46-yard score. The clock continued to run because of Kentucky rules once the score reaches 45-0.
The Pirates only had the ball one more time in the final quarter. Josh Thacker finished the Royals off with a 42-yard score bringing the final to 46-0.
The offensive line, Austin Dotson, Brayden Preece, Greg Staggs, Jacob Parsley, Anthony Thompson and Lee McCoy were praised by the coaching staff. They opened up some huge running seams making running room for the Belfry backfield.
The leading tacklers for the Pirates were Hall with six, Thacker and Cole Bentley with five each, while Woolum, Fletcher and Parsley finished with four. Chase Dove chipped in with a fumble recovery.
Even though the game was on the road, the young Pirate team played in front of a rowdy 'Pond Creek Nation' crowd as Pirates fans outnumbered the Royals 3–to-1, even with the three 3 hour drive.
Belfry Middle will take on the Corbin Redhounds Saturday at Johnson Central High School in Paintsville. The game time has not been announced.

Decking the walls of Dianne Tennyson Vincent's home are pictures of various forms of medicine: framed portraits of purple brugmansias, green ylang-ylangs and reddish artichoke blooms. But it's not the flowers that are used to heal. It's the artwork.
Vincent, a registered art therapist who heads her own practice on Coleman Boulevard, is part of ArtReach, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to "assist the growth and development of children who have experienced traumatic effects of war, violence and natural disasters through creative and expressive art therapies."
As Vincent put it, they teach others to "use the arts as a way to heal."
Vincent has been to Bosnia twice with ArtReach and recently returned from a two-week trip to Haiti.
The poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, Haiti still suffers the destructive effects of the earthquake that occurred in 2010. Vincent and ArtReach used art therapy to help Haitian elementary students and teachers deal with the poverty-stricken circumstances.
One activity was "drawing a safe place" in which Haitian students responded by illustrating homes that could shelter them from violence, a fear-igniting factor that most Haitians know too well. Another activity involved making healing circles called "mandalas."
According to Vincent, these techniques allow a person to self-express issues that may be buried deep within one's self. It allows the "unconscious to come to terms with the conscious," Vincent said.
"You can identify an issue, and deal with it, much quicker than talk-therapy because your unconscious is speaking," Vincent said of art therapy.
Volunteers also assisted the Haitians using dance, music and interactive activities to promote self-awareness and inner healing. Such creative arts are not unfamiliar to Haitians, as Vincent relayed her astonishment at their ability to "have fun with nothing."
At the end of each session, children, instructors and volunteers would meet along a labyrinth, a circular path used to center one's self.
One Haitian community leader presented ArtReach with a three-dimensional cardboard sculpture. Above its delicately carved windows was the title "Imagination Healing Center" with an "ArtReach Foundation" sign posted in the front. Vincent and the organization's director were moved to tears.
According to Vincent, this was evidence of the impact of art therapy.
"We can't express verbally what the arts can do ... It spills over into every aspect of your life; that's the healing," Vincent said.
She encourages everyone to try it for themselves, as it can be used not only to overcome inner illnesses, but to become more self-aware. For more information on art therapy, contanct Vincent at 843-870- 7236. For more information on ArtReach, visit www.artreachfoundation.org. Donations for ArtReach and Haiti can be made through the organization's website as well.

This fall marks the 100th anniversary of the trial of Mendel Beilis, an innocent factory clerk in tsarist Russia accused of murdering a Christian boy so his blood could be used to bake matzo. During its time, the Beilis Trial provoked international protest from media, politicians, writers and intellectuals, but today it is little known. Join us for an engaging roundtable discussion examining the trial from various perspectives: blood libels and anti-Semitism in tsarist Russia; the widespread artistic and journalistic response to the trial; Beilis's funeral, which was attended by thousands at the Eldridge Street Synagogue on the Lower East Side; and the relevance of the trial today.
Lisa Gutkin and Lorin Sklamberg of the Grammy-winning The Klezmatics, will perform Lid Fun Mendl Beylis, or The Song of Mendel Beilis as part of this event. This folk song was sent to the YIVO publication Yidisher folklor and was adapted from the song Vi halt ikh dos oys? or How Do I Bear It? by Mark Warshawsky.
We are delighted to announce that Mr. Jay Beilis, the grandson of Mendel Beilis, will be in attendance at the event.

Belton (November 28, 2012) -- The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor women's basketball team could not battle all the way back from a seven-point halftime deficit as the Cru dropped a 68-66 heartbreaker to Trinity University Wednesday night in Belton. The loss drops the UMHB women to 1-3 on the season. The Tigers improve to 2-1 on the year with the victory.
The Cru opened the game with a 9-2 run and led by as many as eight in the first half before Trinity fought back to take a 30-26 halftime lead. UMHB cut the lead to 52-50 on Macy Moore's lay-up with 6:50 remaining, but the Tigers scored the next five points to push it to 57-50 just 27 seconds later. The Cru would pull to within three with 32 seconds left. Anecia Richardson hit a bucket for Trinity to make it 68-63 Tigers with 24 seconds left. Tori Tucker hit a three-pointer with six seconds to play, but the Cru was unable to get a foul as time ran out.
Taylor Tucker led UMHB with 20 points and 10 rebounds and Kortney Bevers added 12 points. Ten different players scored for the Cru, but UMHB turned the ball over 28 times and shot just 39 percent from the field. The Cru won the rebounding battle 53-32.
Richardson led the way for the Tigers with 23 points. Hannah Coley added 11 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and seven steals before fouling out late in the game. Murphy Burns also had 11 points for Trinity. The Tigers shot 44 percent from the field in the game.
The Cru women will continue their home stand with the American Southwest Conference opener on Saturday. UMHB will host LeTourneau University for a 5:00 PM tip-off in the opener of a women's-men's doubleheader at the Mayborn Campus Center.
