My other problem with the XP is that some enemies take AGES to kill (i.e. champions) and yet the XP you get from them is nearly the same as you get form killing a regular mob. They REALLY need to change that. I can maybe understand that they factor in to the event XP, but what if they're not part of the event and are randomly scattered around? Why the hell would I bother with them? Say what you will about TOR (and many others) but they knew how to handle champion level enemies and knew better than to give the same xp you get for regular mobs
Oh and they REALLY need to fix this clipping issues! I've never gotten stuck in an mmo before as much as I get stuck here. Stuck in spawning structures (because I happen to be in the wrong place and can't teleport until all enemies are killed, etc) mostly.

There's so much to do in the game, if your only complaint is you have to wait to get in a feature they said would be limited to only 500 per time on a server then that's got to be amazing. Especially since it must be a good enough feature to keep people busy and in the game. If you don't like the que time on yoru server, switch servers. Can't say i've had to wait too long on Tarnished Coast.
Reading your posts, this sounds like just not the game for you. Leveling by killing a bunch of monsters is not what the game is about. It's also not about leveling in general. If your only concern is you can't level by grinding tough mobs, you probably should be on the lookout for the Tuesday WOW Panda expansion. Which will have awesome new tough mobs to grind two and brand new Raids to grind too.

Great review.
Might want to fix the "Rought Spots" typo though.

@Dalano: Thanks!
And I just might temporarily switch servers... I went to JQ with our MMORPG.com guild, and I'd hate to not WvW with them, but since it'd only be temporary it might be my best option.

Well I hope this game does well for those that like it. I'd like to see Blizzard lose a bunch of subscriptions since all they want to do is rest on their laurels and feed off the cash cow. However, this game isn't for me, and I just wanted to post so others know why so those who have not bought it can make an informed decision.
First the good: I loved the graphics, fighting was fun and pretty involved for me compared to most games. Having quests be part of a larger environment was cool and the opening battles *spolier* against the centaur are fun that is when this game really shines. Didn't do alot of the pvp because I prefer world pvp not battleground type stuff. (BY world pvp I mean while questing getting attacked etc.)
Now the bad (admittedly for me this was few but enough to make me delete the game.) I found for me personally the game was more of a grind then any game I have played in a long time. This was because the story (outside of personal story which occurs every few levels) is almost non-existent. You go from one spot to the next near a heart and just kill stuff till it fills up and move on. Even when you go to find out what the heart is for it is rarely engaging or interesting. I prefer to feel like I am doing something for a reason and I guess I am more of a quest hub type person. I believe RIFT did this better with there dynamic rifts on top of having quest hubs.
My other complaint (besides no open world pvp and the one stated above) is that the community seems lacking you just zerg the world monsters and the gain from this is small. In my mind it is not that fun to just attack enmasse and overwhelm through sheer numbers and then when done get no reward really other than xp which you get from everything in this game anyway.
These were my personal issues and I hope it helps someone who is on the fence. GW2 is a great game it is just not for me or people who prefer a little more RPG and community/party based system like me.

"No, I'm nowhere near the cap, and yes I still can't get into WvW unless I'm online for 2-3 hours, but I'll be damned if I'm still not having plenty of fun with everything else the game has to offer. There may be folks who are less than impressed. We have a few of them here on our forums. I can appreciate their views even if I don't share them. For my own value, GW2 has been the most fun I've had with a launched MMO since 2004."
Now seriously, what's the entire point of "reviews in progress" if your outcome is already made?
"No, I have not experienced most of the game, and there are some aspects that are entirely our of my reach by virtue of its design and population - but it's the best game since 2004!!!!1"
Hilarious. Let's see if 9 months down the line you'll be repeating the TSW post-mortem "I don't know what to say, I still stand by the 8.5 score we gave it (9+ for GW2)."

I think they decided this game would get great a great reveiw before launch, and even a bad launch and crappy game wont change reviews.
But hey...the guy said he played it for 10 hours. Most people are bored to death by then.

The game is popular, for sure...but the fact that players chose to jump onto a few servers in massive numbers instead of spreading out more evenly really can't be considered a design flaw...especially since ArenaNet provides a very quick and easy solution to that problem.

Interesting read, Bill. But I really have to call you out on something - especially given the amount of praise and claims of "best game ever" being heaped on it by so many...
And to others - please let Bill answer for himself. He's an intelligent guy, well spoken and quite capable of speaking for himself. I'm sure he doesn't need any white knights coming to his aid.
Bill, the bit that stood out to me is this part here, regarding missing NPCs or otherwise bugged content...
"But it's still annoying if you need an event for zone completion or if you just expected to do one and can't because of a bug. It's the price you pay for a more elaborate form of quest, I suppose."
Are you seriously making an apologetic excuse for ANet here? Are you seriously donning the fanboy outfit and attempting to dismiss so important an issue as people being unable to complete content? I've seen and heard of many problems in the area of people being unable to complete content due to one issue or another, so this isn't some case of remote or isolated incidences.
Is it the end of the world? No. It is something that would have been - and has been - a serious negative mark in any other MMO review. It certainly would be given more attention and criticism than "well, just the price you pay I guess!".
I can appreciate that people enjoy the game a lot. That's wonderful.
But when it gets to the point where you're making excuses, or dismissing what is and would be a significant issue in any other game, it tarnishes the rest of your review.
In a game that is hailed as being so high in quality and attention to detail as GW2 regularly is, something as major as not being able to complete content should be given more criticism, not less.

You really couldn't find anything to complain about in the economy? How about the fact that Arenanet is clueless on economies?
For example a majority of items are selling at vendor price. This wouldn't be so bad except for the 5% posting fee and the 10% sales tax when you sell it. Most people are making less (if it sells at all since there are tens of thousands of the same item for sale). There is no economy.. it's split heavily between max level players (who can make money on their mats/items) and everyone else.
Or their fact to help eliminate items screws over low level players? They added temporary mystic forge recipes that take 250-500 of an item to combine in the forge.. so rich people are buying low level crafting mats to throw into the forge, making low level crafting mats almost as expensive as high level crafting mats.
I'm not sure if you're only doing cooking or what, but you could talk about how crafted items are mostly junk and won't sell for near what it cost to make them. The only weapons/armors that sell are those very specific ones or Exotic quality ones at skill 400.
Or the massive amounts of time (or money, good thing you can buy gold by turning Gems into in-game currency!) it takes to grind and grind and grind for crafting mats...
I think if you looked harder you could find some things to complain about.. but I get it, it's a new shiny game and it's hard to see all of the problems.

Glad you are taking your time doing a review of MMO games, rather than the 1-2 days of playing a few hours and giving it an 8.0-8.5 rating. It was rather pathetic how it used to be done here.
I'm hesitant to buy the game because all I want to do is W v W v W PvP, but I'm not willing to sit in a 1-3 hour que to do it. I thought it was supposed to be zerg versus zerg and to have a que for a zerg is just a bit surprising. I guess it's to keep frame rates at an acceptable level and to keep some amount of skill and strategy involved rather than who has the larger zerg. Once the ques get fixed, I'll probably buy the game.

Crafting: refine all materials, proceed with all possible discoveries. Craft a set of armour, weapons, jewelry for your character and you are at the next stage of crafting. I'm approaching GW2 differently then any other MMO I played. I'm actually leveling 5 different characters at the same time. All with different crafting skills and all different classes and various race to make it as enjoyable as possible. On the top of that it allows me to avoid unfinished and buggy content on higher levels.
I hear quite often from collegues who are leveling only one character that the content at high levels is buggy and they often can't finish a mission, an event etc. That's why ArenaNet left ability to switch between servers for free. Despite that some of the people I know were getting really frustrated unable to find a working instance of the same quest. GW2 is far from being perfect or polished at higher levels ( in fact I had few bugged, stack events at lower levels too ), but it is still the biggest fun I had in MMO for years.

I always enjoy your reviews Bill. I have a few annoyances with GW2 lately, many of which relate to WvW and the TP, but I love the game overall and you can't fault the progress with which Anet is squashing bugs.
Look if you really want to get WvW done create a character on Ferguson's Crossing. WvW queues are very short there although we tend to get crushed by other servers with some regularity. This can actually be one of the tough things about the game for me right now. I love WvW but once a server owns the majority of the map people get discouraged and give up. I do believe it's something Anet needs to address at some point.

Without quoting the huge debate about Bill's review of doe-see-doe queues, may I point out that unlike, say, Bill O'Reilly who could hire a crew of staff to play through and report back on an aspect of the game out of his contingency budget, Bill Murphy has to eke by on the revenue from this blog/zine/whatever afforded to him by the flash ads that don't get blocked by the 2% of you who haven't discovered ad blocking technology for your browsers.
As a result, he has only himself, and only so many hours in the day, and fewer hours in all likelihood, to play GW2, because he has to call all these game companies to line up the next set of ads and the next set of articles in order to keep the site running -- in addition to researching and writing these reviews.
He is a journalist and a fan -- and he can't be a good game journalist without being a fan. Works for football and all the RL sports, works for MMOs. You'd really hate it if he were like some of the shills in journalism that just wrote from press releases.
While I do think mmorpg.com needs more depth in the business, legal, and tech aspects of games among their writers, I have no beef with the fan and journalism and gung-ho they put in compared to the crop in the general market of stuff out there, when I think of what they are probably dealing with for budget.
Cut the man some slack. If you want more arms-length professional journalism regarding games, go read Gamasutra -- you won't have nearly as much rough-and-tumble fun, and you won't find the hands-on stuff, but you'll find that the staff is professional even when they are three glorious sheets to the wind (a fine journalistic tradition, I understand...).
But Gamasutra is also not a site *for* fans. And Bill is writing *for* you.

Okay so....
Lots of little random things going on. My brain seriously has a list a mile long going on with everything that's happening. So...
- I'm writing my paper today for my intro to business class and I'm actually excited about it! It's on entrepreneurship (I spell that wrong EVERY.SINGLE.TIME) and Etsy. How exciting is that?
- On Saturday we're going to my in-laws for a party and my sister in law showed me a picture that my father in law sent her of the alcohol fridge. Let me just tell you that Saturday will be interesting.
- Still haven't started Christmas shopping yet. Yeah.
- One of my favorite people at Maurices, Amanda, is leaving and I am SO bummed. Seriously it won't be the same without her.
- My brother is moving in with us! Long story short he wants to move closer to the Twin Cities and he found a new job and it all happened very fast. He'll be living in the big house with us for a month or two till my folks finish the downstairs apartment and then he'll be moving into the apartment. I'm excited!
- Oh and just to let you all know, it is SO RUDE to be in a store at the register while on your cellphone. And you don't acknowledge the person ringing you up until you demand, "Did you give me my 20% off???" Yes, I did. And you'd KNOW THAT if you'd unglue your phone from your ear for two seconds.

Thursday, June 19, 2014
What started as a routine vandalism call at an apartment in the 4400 block of Lady Banks Lane in Murrells Inlet June 10 turned into accusations of witchcraft.
When deputies arrived on the scene, they were met by a female resident and the property manager.
The resident said her neighbor has been doing strange things and saying strange things to them about witches, the report states.
The complainant said when she walked outside to the patio, she found a brown substance that looked and smelled like powdered cocoa spread on the concrete and with a candle sitting in the middle of it with a pentagram drawn into the powder.
It appeared wax had been poured from the candle onto the powder.
The woman said she told her neighbor she would call the police if things like that continued, the neighbor, who was carrying bags into her house at the time, dropped the bags and ran to her car and drove away.
The deputy responded back to the apartments about 30 minutes later when the woman returned.
He advised her to not have contact with the other residents, especially about witches, the report concludes.
Unruly barefoot man
A man who walked into the Murrells Inlet Waffle House barefoot at about 2:30 a.m. June 5 is accused of causing problems.
The man, believed to be around 25 years old, was asked by a manager to put on shoes. A woman he was with handed him the flip flops she was wearing. The manager told her she could not do that because she needed shoes also.
The man then started cussing at the manager before he walked outside, picked up the cigarette butt can and threw it across the parking lot casing it to break in in three places.
The manager did not want to press charges but wanted a report on file in case the man returns to the restaurant.
Theft at Huntington
Two North Carolina women and their husbands were walking on the beach at Huntington Beach State Park June 3 when they saw two men going through their beach bags.
The husband of one of the women ran towards the men but was unable to catch them.
The suspects were carrying the beach bags as they fled. The women said they believe the men left on mopeds.
The bags contained clothing and other items.
The thieves were not located.
Disorderly at hospital
A 38-year-old Myrtle Beach man was arrested June for being disorderly and drunk at Waccamaw Community Hospital.
A deputy reports the man was cursing when he arrived on the scene and was warned to calm down.
The man said he did not like his male nurse and refused to allow that nurse to inject an IV. He demanded to be treated by another nurse.
The man was warned again he would be arrested and he told the deputy to go ahead and arrest him because he has done time before.
So, he was taken to jail.

With how succesful GW2 has been and with a large portion of the MMO community asking for the change, the "deal" with it is that it's an outdated mechanic that many if not most seem tired of. Sure there is a smaller subset of MMO gamers that still wants it, there are still small subsets that prefer turn based combat, there will be games for those players. But like all things the vast majority of MMO's will try to find some way to interest those that do not want the holy trinity anymore.
Don't worry, it's just how things work. I'm a huge fan of Skill systems such as UO instead of level based systems, but I am in the minority on that so most MMO's still use the level system.
And while its probably depressing to you to find out that TESO may be doing away with the normal threat mechanics altering if not removing the holy trinity, they will gain a great deal more players than they will lose.

Who did wrong? The advertiser hired to sell the game or the consumer who put faith in advertising?

This just can't be right - there must be something we aren't understanding.
If a healer has to be 'sneaky' than that means something the healer does has to, by definition, draw threat; i.e. a healer has to be sneaky to avoid generating threat, ergo - there is a threat mechanic.
What would a 'no threat mechanic' game even look like?
I mean, if we say, aggro is given to the first to attack, or if we say, aggro has a class priority - all of that is a threat mechanic.
Even if the object being attacked by a mob was generated randomly (like no matter what you do, he's gonna bounce around from group member to group member) ....... well even that is a threat mechanic. It's a random threat mechanic.
And if this were the case, how could the cleric be 'sneaky'? If threat is generated randomly, theoretically there would be nothing a character, much less a healer could do to avoid it. If there is a way of 'avoiding' threat, then again; there IS a threat mechanic.
So.......I surmise this:
If healer's have to be 'sneaky' there is a threat mechanic.
If healer's have to be 'sneaky' the threat mechanic could be different than we've seen.
But here's the real rub.
It isn't the trinity that is wrong. It is it's implementation.
If the following things are implemented in the combat design, the trinity is hella fun:
a. even the best tanks can't hold aggro 100% of the time
b. everyone in the group has an active role in maintaining aggro on the tank (more than just a hate generating buff)
c. crowd control is absolutely essential (in effect making the trinity a quartet*)
d. players have to moderate the use of their skills and abilities to keep from drawing aggro (this can be related and correlated to b.)
e. the chain is only as strong as the weakest link (more of a mantra, meaning, if a tank, healer and 1 dps do their thing, everyone else can pick their nose and you still succeed - the chain is stronger than the weakest link)
f. incentive to live**
g. button mashing not optional. If there is a rotation you can memorize through repetition and get through every fight; it doesn't work.
h. make combat not about 'when TO push the button' but rather, make combat more about 'when not to push the button'. Example: being able to cc several mobs, then stand back for a sec, assess, discuss, and then act. Make it a frenzy of activity which you can shut down, take a breath, and then re-ignite the frenzy in a controlled manner (if you are in a good group)
*quartet: I'm not saying this role HAS to be played by 1 player, the 'role' of crowd control could be spread throughout the group or re-imagined in other various ways, but without changing needed classes just as cc as a necessary skill element
**incentive to live: this is my politically correct re-wording of 'harsh death penalty'. I believe when people say death penalty, it is because in the past the harshness of them gave them incentive to live. So imo, that's the crux of the issue. A harsh death penalty certainly can give some people incentive to live, but as we have seen in forums, not everyone by a long shot. So, we always scream for something new for this genre, how about an incentive to live that is NOT a death penalty?
But more on topic:
I reserve all judgement about this combat system until I've played it.
I've played awesome tab targetting games.
I've played horrid tab targetting games.
I've played awesome games without tab targetting.
I've played horrid games without tab targetting.
I think it is important to recognize, that it is not the features which necessarily make or break a game. It is their implementation and design. I'd rather play a well designed themepark with well implemented features than a poorly designed sandbox with poorly implemented features.
It's not the nouns that we should have a problem with, it is the adjectives describing them.

Like, not at all ? Because unless the game has mechanics forcing players to attack the tank, it is simply ridiculous to do so. I don't remember ever hearing "Focus the tank" during a PVP session.
People are really daydreaming about this whole collision and whatnot. In a game without threat, collisions or not the monster could simply move around the tank and grab the squishy, just like it could easily be attracted by pretty much anything. NO THREAT means that, no mechanic to grab the monster aggro. It might even focus the same person for minutes, but not the one you want.
Crowd control ? Sure, why not. Let's just ignore PVP since a class fulled up with CC's would be overpowered. Or maybe make a PVP and PVE version of each skills like hummm oh yeah, GW.
Some stuff should be copied, others not. No trinity falls in the first category for me. It can be enhanced, but completely removed is simply wrong.
Also, people thinking that the trinity is outdated seriousy needs to open their eyes. All the top MMORPG, based on active population world-wide and not on some self-wish, uses the trinity system. There's a very simple reason to this, it works fine.

If tanks have lots of cc, and things like guard, intercept and hold the line.
Of course you can tank pvp

Also I'm not saying no trinity. I'm saying the game has no archaic threat mechanics from the 1990s.
It's entirely possible to tank without threat. I've done it in gw1, I've done it in several games that dump threat mechanics on several fights. I've done it in pvp in games that have mechanics for pvp tanking - e.g. gw1, war, swtor (sorta), and..... eq2

As for tanking in GW1, it was nothing close of being fun. It was boring, dumb and used mechanics like cornerblock which relied on bad AI.

It happens. Nothing to get upset at anyone over, it's just the way things work. Quest hubs is getting revamped or removed as well in most newer MMO's for the same reason. MMO's couldn't stay stuck in the 90's forever. The graphics have come a long way, but mechanics have been neglected.
You can wish this weren't the case but it won't change what is. The "Top" mmorpg's don't really exist, most new MMO's flop and are forced to go f2p to survive because they went with old outdated mechanics like The Holy Trinity and Quest hubs.
The writings on the wall, developers actually have noticed and are making changes and you will see that with very little research.
Now again this doesn't mean no form of the trinity will exist because each developer is going to tackle the dislike for the trinity system in it's own way. TESO is simply getting rid of the outdated threat mechanic (At least thats what it looks like).

WoW is still the top MMORPG at the moment according to multiple data and still use "old mechanic". After close to a decade, it is still number one. That is a top MMORPG. It did not try hard, just played its cards with accuracy, made the players comfortable and managed a great marketing.
Dropping this kind of mechanic is a good way to simply scare the majority of players, who doesn't even know at the moment that TESO won't have a trinity system.
Forums etc. are a good way to see what the most dedicated players want, but they are also a minority.

But. . . Guild Wars 2 has an aggro system. I'm confused, what is going on here?

The reality is there are endless games after WoW that have used the same mechanics and failed. Keeping these outdated mechanics has PROVEN to be a good way to lose players.
The industry has been slowly changing and it's not just based on forums. It's also based on exit surveys from players leaving a game. It's based on an enormous amount of data collection done by companies hired to do so. It's based on numerous poles, feedback from conventions, and etc.
I only suggested checking the forums for what other forum goers are saying as well as what the developers are saying so that you could get an idea why it's changing and that it's not simply a minority that wants it to change.

TESO is actually trying to go for the complete removal of aggro, which would mean complete random in acts.

The fact that most players remain in there doesn't mean that Trinity should be removed at all. Multiple games tried to "think out of the box" and failed miserably. Blaming failure on the presence of Trinity is simply bad mouthing. Take Eve for example, the game is somewhat succesful yet it has a kind of Trinity. Aion and Lineage 2 are both also succesful in their country, they also have the trinity.

My biggest complaint with the "holy trinity" is that it's outdated and stale. I think pure healing characters are a terrible design and developers who stick with the trinity template have done very little to make healing classes more appealing. There's a reason why WoW has always had a shortage of healers, it's because the vast majority of players when in combat, don't want to play the role whose only purpose is to stand back and target heal whoever's health falls low. It's completely 1-dimensional, so much that in most scenarios, the role of a healer can be done succesfully by a programmable bot.
My belief, is that pure healing needs to be done away with and replaced with a role that's based on supporting using a variety of utility skills such as crowd control, shields, buffs/debuffs, and limited healing. And keep the variety going, let's have both combative support characters who are designed to get in and fight, as well as the more passive ones who don't. This is how I'm hoping GW2's meta will eventually evolve into, and quite frankly I think it's far more interesting than the standard tank/healer/dps.

Without specifically seeing the AI in action this whole discussion is kind of moot. There won't be a threat system per say, but we don't know what priority the AI will place on players. IE will it be proximity, bit hits, healing etc. Will the mob act in a more realistic manner and swap targets to what ever it sees as the bigger threat at the time?
We need to see the actual AI in action to make judgements.

I want to see them extend the trinity to have more functional classes in games, only being able to pick 3 is boring and to be able to do them all with one guy at the same time is even more boring. Older games used to have the classes seperated even more, (DAoC comes to mind) specializing in CC, dots, debuffs, buffs, tanks healers and straight dps etc... Being able to be everything in one is too simple and dumbed down it takes all the strategy out of making groups.
Rifts approach was pretty interesting letting your character switch between roles to adapt to situations but still narrowed it down to 3 roles. GW2 went even more simple by giving everyone the ability to do just about everything. I think classes should have strengths and weaknesses, even building your own character without a class you should be limited in how powerful you can become while taking a hit in another skill. Strategy has become less and less involved with these new breed of games and I think it is what hurts longevity the most. Not housing and other meaningless crap that I see people complaining about.
Developing your character and honing his skills to be the best you could be strategicly in a group is what I used to love most about MMORPG's, I hope they bring some of that back in TESO. As another poster said, we have to wait and see how the AI will perform combat to see the whole system they have in store, until then its all speculation.

being unable to handle the semi-to-none trinity of GW2 doesnt mean its a failfest. If TESO becomes your typical LF Tank, LF Heal i doubt ill play it. We need more options, thousands of mmo follow the holy trinity, not this one please.....
i like what GW2 did, its excelent, but there is still room for improvement and TESO can do just that. If i want trinity i play WoW that does it better than anything else, and i dont want to.
EDIT: Although Elder Scrolls games are single player they never had trinity, you didnt need to be a tank to survive, or a full healer to stay alive. TESO can work just like that. People complain taht TESO is not a real TES game, then it will be much less of a TES game with a trinity that dont belong to the TES world

Of course there are other ways to solve this than removing them but something has to be done. A better AI and more focus on bodyblocking while removing taunts would work for example, but tanks makes almost all MMO combats besides huge raids rather boring.
Tanking used to be pretty hard work and that was at least pretty fun but for the last 10 years they have dumbed it down so much that the whole thing either needs to be removed or totally revamped.
A tank must be forced to react and think fast, and tanking needs to be more about positioning and tactics and less about skill rotation if the trinity wants to survive the next 10 years.
Personally wouldnt I miss it, it was a simple system made for Meridian 59 and the idea that you cant invent something better is just silly. Of course a new system takes some time to get used to and many will have problems in the start but MMOs do need to evolve instead of just being even more simplified.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
I'm hoping to see an intelligent aggro system where NPCs actually "evaluates" the situation and targets the player who poses the biggest threat at any given time. Kinda how a typical PvP session would play out.
Of course, sometimes you want to intentionally dumb down the AI. For example, a big dumb ogre might start bashing at the first thing he sees.

Holy Trinity problem is that it's largely unbalanced in raiding or groups, normally you have 10% Tanks, 30% healer and rest dps. It should be closer to 30% for every role. Also Holy Trinity doesn't fit PvP at all. GW2 showed that all faults that non-aggro system has, it's boring and chaotic mess.

Logic be damned!
I do miss player collision and how it made tanking viable in PvP...
I probably had the most fun ever in PvP in WAR in early Tier 1 playing as a Black Ork and actually tanking players and blocking ranged attacks against our ranged/healers and being able to harass enemy casters/DPS even if my damage output wasn't great.
But what really took the cake was UO on the Siege Perilous shard playing with an organized RP guild - we'd use the collision detection and swarm tactics to box an enemy player in and just beat on them from four sides at once...
Good times.
I've probably been lurking for way, way too long.

For the last four years, the North Augusta Parks and Recreation Department has been partnering with the running clubs at the local elementary schools to host the Hersheys Track and Field Championships. This year, the event will take place at North Augusta High School on Saturday, May 3, beginning at 9 a.m.
We have drawn more than 200 athletes every year from ages 9 to 14 with the opportunity to qualify for regional, state and national competitions based on the results. The top three finishers in each age and gender category advance to Lower Richland High School on May 17. The top finishers from that event qualify for the state meet held in Mt. Pleasant on June 7.
Running club interest at the elementary school level is at an all-time high. Students are asked to arrive at school several mornings a week to run and accumulate mileage beginning in mid-March through mid-May. More than 1,000 children are currently in the program at all the North Augusta schools and some in the Aiken and Edgefield area.
We can all agree that physical activity has declined for children over the years. It obviously does not apply to everyone, but this program is a fantastic effort to make fitness fun. I applaud the running clubs first started by Jane Monroe and now led by Karen Fralick to continue to keep the youth moving.
The Hershey meet will hold running events in the 50 meter, up to 1,600 meter distances and field events of standing broad jump and softball throw. Jim Conley will be volunteering as the Pennsylvania announcer and school representatives will be assisting in a variety of roles from timing, awards, registration and clean up.
The event is very enjoyable and the youth are great to be around. We have performed very well in past years at the regional and state level. Registration for the Hershey meet is being held at the local schools, with Thursday, May 1, as the deadline. And if you are interested in volunteering, Ill see you at the high school on Saturday at 8:30 a.m.

Arizona Cardinals
Pursuit of Peyton Manning says something about Kevin Kolb
The Cardinals could put an end to the Peyton Manning rumors by coming out and saying they will be paying Kevin Kolb his $7 million roster bonus and won't be parting with the QB less than a year after trading for him.
But that hasn't happened.
"I fully expect this team to be interested, at least kick the tires on the situation," Arizona Republic Cardinals beat writer Kent Somers told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo of the Cardinals and Manning.
The fact that the Cardinals have not come out and said it won't happen could just be standard operating procedure, as Somers noted the Cardinals don't like talking about moves that haven't happened.
Still, with Manning being linked to Arizona and the Cards possibly being a QB away from being a playoff team again, it would make plenty of sense if they were interested in the future Hall of Famer.
"I don't think there's any doubt that they're sitting back, looking at the timing of the whole Manning situation and are curious to see how it's going to play out," Somers said.
Given that Manning will have his choice of teams once released by the Colts, it stands to reason he may not choose Arizona. If that's the case, the team will likely turn to Kolb in hopes he will be the player they thought he would be.
Asked if the rumored pursuit of Manning has affected Kolb's demeanor, Somers said he hasn't seen anything indicating that is the case.
"He's not sweating it," Somers said of Kolb's reaction to the rumors. "It's kind of the attitude Kevin had throughout this whole year, in dealing with the trade and the contract and the pressure being on him."
Somers said some fans may see Kolb as a player who lacks passion, that his attitude of "what will be, will be" is a sign he doesn't really care.
"I don't think that's the case at all," Somers said. "I really think, as much as any player can, I think he tries to take that attitude that this is a business and teams are going to do whatever they're going to do."
That means if his time in Arizona ends after one season, Kolb will understand and, at 28-years-old, find somewhere else to work.
Assuming Manning doesn't come to Arizona, though, the Cards will have to turn the reins over to someone who they were possibly looking to replace. That could mean soothing some hurt feelings.
"I think he would be hurt in the sense that maybe there's not the commitment to him that he thought there was, but I think he's tougher than that, I don't think he will go into a shell," Somers said. "I think in that case, the Cardinals -- or any other team in that situation -- could go to their number one quarterback and say 'look, we had a chance to get a premier quarterback, maybe the best in the league, a Hall of Famer, and we rolled the dice.'"
But no one is at that point, not yet. For now all we have are rumors of the Cardinals being interested in a QB who technically isn't even available, one who if he does reach the open market comes with as many question marks as any player in recent history.

Law enforcement officials - and many others - from across Georgetown County and the state gathered Friday to remember Police Maj. Spencer Guerry who was gunned down while on what was supposed to be a routine traffic stop on March 7, 1994.
He died two days later at the Medical University of South Carolina.
Twenty years ago. Some days it seems like it happened yesterday. And other times it seems like a hundred years ago, said Sally Guerry, the widow.
She was accompanied by her two sons, Ryan and James - now ages 28 and 30 - and their spouses.
Spencer was a good man, a good husband and a good father, Ms. Guerry said. She said he was very dedicated to both his family and job.
During his 15-year law enforcement career, Guerry worked his way up through the ranks from patrol officer, uniform patrol corporal, staff services sergeant, administration/support lieutenant, Criminal Investigations Division and Uniform Patrol Division captain, and was promoted to deputy chief of police in February 1990.
Georgetown Police Officer Shelley Brantley said he was with his family and their friend David Hodge when they heard the news about the shooting.
We were window shopping on Front Street. David was working for SCE&G and heard it on his radio, Brantley recalled.
Police Captain Nelson Brown said it was a Wednesday evening when the shooting occurred and he was in church when he received the call with the news.
We lost a great friend and mentor. He set the standard we try to follow, Brown said.
Georgetown City Councilwoman Carol Jayroe lived in the same neighborhood - Maryville Pines - as the Guerry family.
My mother heard it on the police scanner, Jayroe recalled. She said she went to the Guerrys home to see what she could do for the family.
When asked how Guerrys death changed Georgetown, Jayroe said I hope it has given us more respect for law enforcement who are on and off duty. Although, they are never really off duty
Spencer Guerrys mother, Jean Guerry, said she was touched by the turnout at Fridays breakfast to honor her son.
Its amazing that these people come to honor someone who died in the line of duty 20 years ago, she said. It shows they feel strongly about him and about how he died.
Police Chaplain Rob Dewey, who met with the Guerry family at the hospital the night of the shooting has been to the annual breakfasts every year.
Most of us did not know each other before this tragic event. Coming back here every year is hard but not as hard as it is for the family. It helps when we come together every year. It helps to feel the love of the community and our Lord Jesus, Dewey said.
After the breakfast, a wreath was placed at the Spencer Guerry memorial on Front Street as a bagpipe group from Myrtle Beach played Amazing Grace.
The shooting that took Guerrys life occurred at Georgetown Car Wash on Highmarket Street after he pulled a car over that was driven by Georgetown native David Hill.
In 1995, Hill was found guilty of Guerrys murder and sentenced to death. He was executed in March 2004.

To The Editor:
My wife and I have known Barbara Stratton and Malcolm Appleton for close to 40 years and were Valley residents for almost two decades. There isn't a kinder, more decent, or more giving man around than Malcolm.
Malcolm has done so much for The Valley in contributing time and energy to various efforts for as long as he has lived there. The fact that your paper would publish a piece like the letter about "podiuming," adding insult to a serious injury, doesn't speak well for your paper or your editorial staff.
The Valley community (including The Reporter) should celebrate and be proud of the fact that a 70-year-old has achieved the state and national honors in his sport that he has. The guy is in Fanny Allen rehab recovering from a serious injury with a 16-inch titanium rod in his leg. Show a little judgment and decency.

Anyone looking for a way to make a positive impact in the community has a chance to do so through a local program that helps individuals throughout the county develop their leadership skills.
Applications are now being accepted for the 2013-2014 Leadership Aiken County class. Leadership Aiken County, established in 1982, gathers a group of residents who are interested in leadership opportunities, and they come up with a community project that they'll complete together as a class.
The 2012-2013 class recently wrapped up with a ribbon-cutting ceremony after it participated in the Safe Routes to School project in Crosland Park.
Class Coordinator Ben Harm said this is an important program because it helps identify and develop future leaders in this community.
For nine months, once each month, the group meets from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to discuss various issues facing Aiken County and opportunities to address those problems. The group looks at the history of the area, the horse industry, human services, cultural awareness and diversity, economic development and industry, government, health care, education, law enforcement and ways to sustain quality of life.
"This is a group that really works on building relationships and exposing people to a variety of different things in Aiken County," Harm said. "It's a really fun adventure. We encourage anyone interested to apply and look forward to see them."
Tuition for Leadership Aiken County is $600, and that covers meals at monthly meetings, meals and lodging at a retreat held at Camp Gravatt, training materials, some travel expenses, awards and administrative costs associated with the program.
Scholarships for up to 50 percent of the tuition are available.
Applications will be accepted until July 30 and can be found at www.leadershipaikencounty.com or email Harm at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Londolozi: Towards a Sustainable Business Model and Ecological Integrity in Southern Africa
Rawi Abdelal; Thomas Koelble
Price: $6.93
To maximize their effectiveness, color cases should be printed in color.
The Londolozi game viewing reserve in South Africa became a defining icon of ecotourism during the 1990s and early 2000s--that is, a tourist business promoting ecological land management and, at the same time, local economic development. The reserve was in a region in the northeastern part of the country, not far from Mozambique, that sorely called out for progress in both these dimensions. The Sabi Sand Game reserve (within which Londolozi was located) was initially created by the government to provide hunters with an area in which to hunt wildlife. The government retained a portion of the reserve as the Kruger National Park, which allowed visitors to view wildlife, but banned hunting, in an effort to boost wildlife populations. The KNP was initially fenced off from the Sabi Sands Game reserve to prevent hunters from moving into the wildlife reserve. The fence, however, also prevented traditional east-west migration of animals across the region. Through the 1980s and 1990s, the farms within the Sabi Sand Game reserve converted their functions from hunting to wildlife viewing, and the fence was taken down. The new challenge for the farms while transforming into wildlife viewing became land management and local economic development.

To examine the challenge of government and community relations in a developing country.

Is literally these dirty, holey, smelly garden gloves I found in the garage. The kind with the rubber grip & that are way too big for me so they're easy to slip on and off. They make a world of difference when I'm quilting, especially when stippling. They're perfect….except for the dirty rubber smell. What's your favorite quilting gadget?
PS. Thanks for all the fall pillow love. And if you make one I'd LOVE to see what you came up with!!!

Friday, March 28, 2014
Former Exchange Club President Dennis Lott was apprehended and arrested the evening of Friday, March 28 in Walterboro.
Charleston County Sheriffs Office Maj. Eric Watson said Lott was being transported to the Al Cannon Detention Center in North Charleston as of about 7:30 p.m.
The arrest ended without incident, according to Watson.
Lott is accused of writing a check to himself in the amount of $190,000 and cashing it on July 19.
The Exchange Club is in charge of running the annual Coastal Carolina Fair in Ladson.
CCSO held a press conference in North Charleston to discuss the case. CCSO Assistant Sheriff Mitch Lucas said deputies and Lott had made arrangements that he would bring himself in for questioning that day.
Lucas said at the time he had no reason to believe Lott would be a flight risk.
In this kind of case, documentation is important, Lucas said at the press conference. We have reason to believe he wrote himself a check not for the benefit of the Exchange Club.
The official charge is breach of trust, Lucas said.
The criminal act is writing the check and cashing it for personal use, Lucas said. We found nothing that would have been an indication to keep an eye on him, no red flags.
He was a longtime member of the Exchange Club.
He signed the check with his own name and made it out to himself. In his role as president he wrote checks to various organizations, according to Lucas.
The suspicion came to light after the Exchange Club performed a forensic audit.
Weve been on this case for 28 hours, Lucas said. This would be considered a white-collar crime. These kind of cases rely almost entirely on documentation.
Lott could likely face up to 10 years if convicted, Lucas said.

Current revision
The following notes on HostbasedAuthentication apply to OpenSSH.
HostbasedAuthentication files
These files are checked in the following order on the remote system if HostbasedAuthentication is enabled:
- /etc/hosts.equiv
- /etc/ssh/shosts.equiv
- ~/.shosts
- ~/.rhosts
Relevant sshd_config directives
HostbasedAuthentication Specifies whether rhosts or /etc/hosts.equiv authentication together with successful public key client host authentication is allowed (host-based authentication). This option is similar to RhostsRSAAuthentication and applies to protocol version 2 only. The default is "no". HostbasedUsesNameFromPacketOnly Specifies whether or not the server will attempt to perform a reverse name lookup when matching the name in the ~/.shosts, ~/.rhosts, and /etc/hosts.equiv files during HostbasedAuthentication. A setting of "yes" means that sshd(8) uses the name supplied by the client rather than attempting to resolve the name from the TCP connection itself. The default is "no". IgnoreRhosts Specifies that .rhosts and .shosts files will not be used in RhostsRSAAuthentication or HostbasedAuthentication. /etc/hosts.equiv and /etc/ssh/shosts.equiv are still used. The default is "yes". IgnoreUserKnownHosts Specifies whether sshd(8) should ignore the user's ~/.ssh/known_hosts during RhostsRSAAuthentication or HostbasedAuthentication. The default is "no". Protocol Specifies the protocol versions sshd(8) supports. The possible values are '1' and '2'. Multiple versions must be comma-sepa‐ rated. The default is "2,1". Note that the order of the proto‐ col list does not indicate preference, because the client selects among multiple protocol versions offered by the server. Specify‐ ing "2,1" is identical to "1,2". RhostsRSAAuthentication Specifies whether rhosts or /etc/hosts.equiv authentication together with successful RSA host authentication is allowed. The default is "no". This option applies to protocol version 1 only.
HostbasedAuthentication with the root user
If you want to use HostbasedAuthentication with the root user, you must:
- Place the fully-qualified domain name of the trusted system in ~root/.shosts or ~root/.rhosts on the remote system.
- Set IgnoreRhosts no in sshd_config on the remote system.
The system-wide /etc/rhosts.equiv or /etc/ssh/shosts.equiv files will not work with HostbasedAuthentication of the root user.
Allowing HostbasedAuthentication on the client system
Even if HostbasedAuthentication is properly enabled on the server, it may denied as a form of authentication on the client system.
For example, on RHEL 5, HostbasedAuthentication is implicitly denied on clients, as the default is "no".
To enable, modify the site-wide or user-specific ssh configuration file as appropriate.
Reverse DNS
By default (see HostbasedUsesNameFromPacketOnly above), OpenSSH will not trust the client's self-identifying hostname in the hostbased authentication request, and will perform a reverse DNS lookup of the IP address.
e.g., /var/log/auth.log
Jul 14 16:44:24 ssh_server sshd[10794]: userauth_hostbased mismatch: client sends host.example.com, but we resolve 188.8.131.52 to 126.96.36.199
In this case, I needed to add 184.108.40.206.in-addr.arpa to DNS.
Miscellaneous notes
- If any of the four files used in HostbasedAuthentication contain a + in either the hostname(s) or user name(s), the line is ignored.
debug1: Remote: Ignoring wild host/user names in /etc/hosts.equiv. debug1: Remote: Ignoring wild host/user names in /etc/ssh/shosts.equiv. debug1: Remote: Ignoring wild host/user names in $HOME/.shosts. debug1: Remote: Ignoring wild host/user names in $HOME/.rhosts.

Rated 2.5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Lola267 Great For Holiday Sparkle! I am going to have to respectfully disagree with the other review on here. I bought this belt and had no problems with it. I absolutely love it and use it to add a 'pop' to a dress or to jazz up and blouse and skirt combo. The rhinestones add the perfect amount of sparkle for the winter season! Paired it with a simple knit dress and mile-high heels for a great day-to-night look. December 14, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5�by Niecey75 Poorly Made I went to a Bebe store and saw this belt...and thought it was a must have. I am a sucker for the bling...so I wore the belt the same night. At first I was having difficulty fastening the belt....I went out and when I was on stage singing the belt popped off. I was very embarrassed....trust me ladies leave this belt alone!

Mind-Body Medicine
MBM Student Lynne Shaner, Turning Toward Community for Strength02/27/2014
In December of 2013 doctoral student Lynne Shaner had surgery on her eye to correct a condition called thyroid eye disease. After surgery she developed a post-surgical eye infection that her physicians later described as "The Triangle of Death." The words paint an alarming picture of her condition and Lynne recollects that "hearing those words felt surreal."
After several CT scans, 3 MRI's, and multiple rounds of intravenous antibiotics Lynne began feeling a deep despair, like there was no end in sight. Rather than relying on her usual self-sufficient move forward attitude, Lynne knew she needed support and reached out to the communities that she has been cultivating, including the Saybrook School of Mind Body Medicine.
Mind-Body Medicine in Our Lives: Char Conlin Uses her Mind-Body Skills at Motor-Vehicle Accident Scene02/25/2014
One of the many strengths of the Saybrook University School of Mind-Body Medicine is applying what we learn academically to our professional and personal lives. As a community -- including students, faculty, staff and our loved ones -- we continue to experience the full spectrum of life, from birth to death and all of the joys and sorrows in between, as we pursue our individual dreams. As a group we have the capacity to learn from one another and also to connect, share, and possibly collaborate.
Dr. Stephen Porges, Expert on Heart Rate Variability, Provides Address in Venice, Italy on Evolutionary and Physiological Foundations of Social Engagement02/21/2014
School of MBM Chair Donald Moss attended the Biofeedback Federation of Europe annual meeting February 10-15 in Venice, Italy. Here he reports on a keynote address by Dr. Stephen W. Porges in the BFE scientific meeting.
Stephen Porges is a leader in the scientific study of psychophysiology, especially of "heart rate variability" and the role of the vagal nervous system. His model is based in his innovative understanding of the evolution of the mammalian nervous system. Porges has also contributed to the practical applications of psychophysiology to treatment, including the treatment of children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder.

Dr. David Spiegel Speaks from Paris and Addresses SCEH Berkeley Meeting02/03/2014
David Spiegel, MD, Associate Chair of Psychiatry and Medical Director, Stanford Center for Integrative Medicine, addressed the SCEH conference in October, 2013, from Paris where he was spending a three month sabbatical. Hypnosis has a venerable tradition in France and in Paris, specifically. Once Anton Mesmer gained some recognition, for his work in animal magnetism, he moved from Vienna to Paris.
Spiegel emphasized that hypnosis is the oldest Western model for psychotherapy. Over 100 years before Freud, Mesmer established the principle that an interpersonal interaction with a patient can be therapeutic. Freud himself began his professional work by studying hypnosis with Charcot in Paris. Only after he was frightened by a female patient expressing affection for him, did he abandon hypnosis as his therapeutic approach. Ironically, at the end of his career, after his move to London, Freud placed a photograph of Charcot on the wall above his analytic couch.

Mallory Rowell, Master's Student in Mind-Body Medicine, Combines New Marriage, Research Job, Fitness Training, and Graduate Study12/10/2013
Mallory Rowell completed her BS degree in Psychology from Ohio State in 2010, and although she knew that she wanted to complete an advanced degree, she was unsure of her path. One day as she was perusing the APA academic listings she came across an advertisement for Saybrook University, School of Mind Body Medicine. She was immediately attracted to the advertisement and that led her to attend an introductory call hosted by the department chair, Dr. Don Moss. After the introductory call Mallory recalls her elation at finding this program, "It felt like everything I was looking for and didn't know what to call it. Saybrook combined my lifestyle and academic goals all into one." In the fall of 2013 Mallory began classes to complete her MS in Mind Body Medicine.

Undergraduate Academic Catalog 2012-2013
Students desiring to withdraw from one or more classes before the midpoint of the term may do so by:
After doing so, the student will be assigned a grade of "W" for those course(s). While a grade of "W" does not count in the student's cumulative grade point average, it does count in attempted hours for financial aid purposes and could affect a student's eligibility for aid if there are repeated withdrawals.
Refunds associated with withdrawals are made only in the case where a student withdraws completely from all classes for a term.
Refunds are based on the date of the withdrawal and are pro-rated. By University System of Georgia rule, refunds are not initiated for withdrawing from a portion of registered classes.
Withdrawing After the Mid-Point
Students who withdraw after the midpoint of the term are not eligible for a grade of "W" except in cases of hardship or extenuating circumstances as approved by the faculty. (See Administrative Procedures for instructions.) Students withdrawing after the withdrawal deadline date receive a grade of "WF" for the course(s), which counts the same as an "F" for grade point purposes.

CRESTVIEW — Brandi Terrell has mixed emotions about her daughter's graduation.
"It's a happy, joyous time, but it's also a sad, changing time," the mother of Crestview High School valedictorian Jayde Terrell said.
Though she is happy to see her only daughter graduate, she said the household won't be the same after Jayde begins classes at the University of Florida in Gainesville.
"There is going to be a lot of quiet days and quiet nights at our house," Brandi said.
Crestview High School's Friday night graduation ceremony at Jack Foster Stadium was "bittersweet" for many parents and students.
Guidance counselor Keitha Holloway's daughter, Kelsey Perez, 18, is among 274 students receiving a diploma, out of 355 seniors enrolled at the beginning of the year.
Click here for a photo gallery from the Crestview High School graduation ceremony.
Though she is excited to see her lone child graduate with honors, Holloway knows what follows.
"She will be leaving for Florida State (University) in a couple of months — that's where the bittersweet part comes in," Holloway said.
Holloway holds this year's senior class in high regard.
"As a faculty member, it's amazing to see the triumphs and tribulations these students have overcome," she said.
She referred to the death of senior classman Markos Papadopoulos, who died in an August traffic incident.
"To see how the graduating class rally around each other, and to see them become more like a family ... was absolutely amazing," Holloway said.
Salutatorian Terrin Bond, 18, congratulated fellow graduates in her speech.
"Alright guys, we did it," she said. "Congratulations to the class of 2013."


text: The Tommy used a fixed ejector riding in a slot in the bolt, very similar to the AK setup in principle. Since the square rear section of the bolt riding in the receiver kept everything aligned, they went with a much simpler ejector instead of a rail. Just a threaded hole in the left side of the Tommy receiver and a screw with a flattened end is screwed in. To keep the flat properly aligned the head of the ejector screw was a small oval shaped flat spring steel piece with a dimple in it. This dimple fit into a shallow hole on the outside of the receiver to index it properly.

Average Customer Review4.5 (16 reviews)
Create an online reviewand share your thoughts with other customers
Things I liked:Previous reviews mentioned poor quality of the wood finish. However, my gun was flawlessly made. Gorgeous to look at, light enough to shoot for hours, and more accurate than I could have expected. I'm shooting at 25 yards and only my lack of skill keeps me from getting quarter-size hits. On a rifle rest (which I use to sight in the scope), I can consistently hit the bulls-eye of a paper target. Fairly quiet and no kick. Very easy to load. I think the trigger is actually better than that of my Beeman R7 rifle, which is known to have a superb trigger. I'm getting 30+ accurate shots from one CO2 cartridge. I'm using Crosman Premiere Ultra Magnum pellets and honestly there is no reason for me to ever change. I sold the included Centerpoint 3-9x32 scope to get one of higher magnification and because the crosshairs of the Centerpoint were somewhat fuzzy when using the illumination feature. Nice of Crosman to include a high set of rings because they were definitely needed. The only issue was that the handle was a bit loose and tightening the two screws which attach it to the stock didn't do the trick. I called Crosman, whose Customer Service is excellent (no wait time, informed tech support person)). She told me what to do and the fix took about two minutes. As for buying from PyramydAir, I got delivery in two days with free shipping. Rifle was packed extraordinarily well.
Things I would have changed:Crosman should include a better quality scope. The one it comes with (a Centerpoint 3-9x32) sells for just $50 at PyramydAir, which tells you something of its quality. I would also like to see the safety automatically engaged after each shot. Lastly, Crosman should improve their quality control, in that they should never have packed my gun without checking the handle first and tightening it before packing and mailing it.
What others should know:Overall, a phenomenal rifle -- light, accurate, and beautiful.
Things I liked:Good trigger pull from the box, reasonable FPS; however, needs power mods to use for small game hunting.
Things I would have changed:Better stock valve and scope should be mounted for this price.
What others should know:This thing is very light weight which is nice. The stock is a little loose on the bottom of the pistol grip, I plan to install an additional through hole bolt to eliminate this.
This comes with the same stock brass valve that comes on the 2240, 2300KT and 2400KT. There is no better stock valve.
Things I liked:I love this little rifle. It is a serious shooter disguised as a work of art. I smile every time I look at it. Its light weight and serviceable scope are perfect for the strength and vision impaired (read old) shooter. Fit and finish are outstanding.
Things I would have changed:Not really a design flaw, but those with fat or stiff fingers may experience some frustration trying to load pellets.
What others should know:This is my go-to rifle for backyard target shooting. Lots of fun, quiet, accurate, and a pleasure to hold. Wishing you safe shooting.

Where are the Wild Things? Right Here
December 29, 1999
McFarlane Toys and renowned children's author Maurice Sendak are currently in negotiations. Tentative plans call for McFarlane Toys to produce a line of action figures based on the ground-breaking children's book Where the Wild Things Are, one of the most popular and influential kids' books of all time.
Sendak is recognized by many as a visionary in the field of children's literature. He was awarded the prestigious Caldecott Medal for Where the Wild Things Are in 1964 and was the first American illustrator to receive the international Hans Christian Andersen Award, given in 1970 for Sendak's entire body of work.
