Is it possible to make a true sandpark and please everyone at the same time?
That is not possible.

I got so much trouble on my mind Refuse to lose.
Not only its posssible but also very easy to make.
Actually I feel like we are in medieval times , where in Rome times they knew everything , than forgot it , and than it took them 1000 years to relearn all.
We got sandbox, we got sandpark ... all those we had before.

WildStar sounds like a promise. I'm looking forward to play both the explorer and the settlers way.
On the thread question, sandpark is possible of course. But I think the line is not between sandbox and themepark, it's much more between optional/no pvp and ffa pvp. I know I'd love to see a pve sandbox game, or even better, a sandbox with both a pvp and a pve servers, and let the players vote with their feet :)

Sandbox is your only hope for a decent mmo ;)
So many misconceptions about sandboxes in this post it isnt even funny.
Sandbox to me, is like real life. No limits except for what you dont want to do. Its like an alternate reality.
Build, craft, fight, make your own story, explore a wide open world, sit around and chat, not be forced down a set path, take your time, social interaction, and so much more.
The story bandwagon is getting old. It dries up after a month and you have to wait or buy new content. Why cant people make their own story? Be their own boss? Adventure out into the wild and make a claim to the wolderness? Older sandboxes it was more fun to show off you feats and accomplishments, not be like everyone else. Story only gets you so far, you realy need the tools to expand this and some room to make it happen.
PvP is for open world and sandboxes are full loot pvp. What a bunch of garbage. Majority of the older sandboxes didnt even have pvp or had special mechanics to help protect hose not wanting to fight. A tale from the desert as an example had no pvp what so ever, while SWG had three tiers of combat which you could pick and switch back and forth. No forced pvp and no griefing. Sandbox is not about pvp nor is it full loot gankfest.
Large open world? Why would anyone not want a beautiful mass of land to explore? Why cant you have this in a themepark game? Its beyond me why people want led down a maze of paths to rush you to the next mission.
Crafting, is most vital for a sandbox game. Player based economy is a must. But majority of the newer games switched to loot based economy and crafting is just a joke now. A game with good crafting helps promote selling and buying, more crafters = competition and lower prices. A combatant can sell a rare item for millions but a crafter asking 500 for a potion is out of the question?
Story and quests are only a themepark feature........wrong again. Majority of sandboxes have multiple quests lines, missions, and even story.I cant think of any sandbox games that dont have story and quests. Even eve being such a hardcore pvp and economiy game has story and quests lol.
Instances........ wont even go into this one. Was the worse thing to come out of the genre.
End Game- my arent you guys tired of the rush to max level just so you can "grind" out dailies, warzones, and raids over and over and over and over every single day for a token, a trinket, something the devs seem fit to give you for wasting your time? Id rather have no end game and beout playing not hold up waiting for an instance. End game is another horrible thing to come out of the industry, needs to go poof in a big way. You dont want to grind in a sandbox because its boring, but have no problem grinding out tokens for armor?
Basicaly a sandbox has everything a themepark already has and more. What are you going to add to a sandbox that a sandbox hasnt had or allows to be done? So yeah hybrid/sandpark is kind of saying you have no clue what a sandbox is to begin with. Or you need your hand held while exploring a big map ;)
Tell me a few features, legit ones, that a themepark has done that a sandbox hasnt.
One just needs a quick look at <ITEMISASION> and <(item-based) progression> to realize you have two fundamental groups of players which can't be pleased at the same time.
In your typical Themepark clone you get the "ENDGAME" Raid and instance grinds for progress, more shiny "the best in slot" items. Those players demand the exclusivity of the best items, they feel entitled to have superior gear. In those games everything else means nothing and outside of those instances and Raids (and 5 daily quests) you don't have any progress at all and nothing to do.
Your "sandbox" people want progression too. But they don't want to grind forced fix group size instances and raids. They want to craft the best gear, trade (buy it off others) and go out and find that hidden lair with an open world boss which can drop a piece of shiny armor or do just a bit of everything.
Maybe it's just me, but whenever i lately hear someone talk about "Sandpark" all i see is someone claiming "You can grind mobs too for leveling up, you don't need to do all the quests in our Endgame raid tiered themepark".
A few public quests don't make your game Sandpark.
Involving Raid exclusive drops for crafting items does not make your game Sandpark.
Giving exclusive OR equal progression to players outside your gear treadmill instance/raid cluster does transform your Themepark to a Sandpark.
1. Golden rule, don't limit your player's progression by one exclusive way of obtaining said goal.
Example Themepark: Do instance X with daily limit for 5 marks, need 20 for boots. You want boots? - Go do this instance.
Example Sandpark: Do instance X for marks, gather 100 "x ore" for 5 marks, Craft 20 Boots of X for your faction and get 5 marks, kill 200 <random monsters> for 5 marks. (you can just focus on crafting or do whatever you feel like to get those boots, sell the loot and dropped crafting parts and buy those boots or marks)
And the most important part about it, don't do it in a "daily quest" shape or meta. It's not sandboxish if i need to do a checklist daily or miss out on progression!
But as you see, if you give progression to everyone and not just the tiered Instance player base the later wont be happy about it. You can do a sandpark, but you can't get both playerbases and if you don't give up the exclusivity of progression you don't even have a sandpark.

I think regardless of what you make, be it a themepark, sandbox, sandpark, themebox, MMOFPS, MMORTS or a themeboxpark RTS / FPS hybrid MMO-thing, you'll never ever please everyone anyhow.
As in your example of GW1, you'll always have groups of people that enjoy one thing in the game better than some other thing. Even if you make a game with only one thing you can actually do, you'll have people who complain about the way they have to do it here or there.
The trick, imo, is to find a healthy balance so that the complainers keep complaining, but also keep playing and enjoying your game.
Feel free to use my referral link for SW:TOR if you want to test out the game. You'll get some special unlocks!

Although I would love to see it happen you can't have a game that pleases both sandbox and themepark players. Especially now, with haters more vocal than ever before, a single feature could be the rallying cry to critically savage such a game.
Plus, design forces you into one camp or another. Perfect example, the initial videos of Wildstar had combat more like WOW whereas the recent combat videos show Guild Wars 2 type combat. Not everyone likes action combat (I am getting a little tired of it myself) so this design decision is going to please some and bother others.
One thing I do like is that Carbine is TRYING to please both the themepark and sandbox crowd. Putting elements of both "genres" in the same game, for me, is a win win situation.

I think you can meld the two, swg and ac would fall into that category, possibly daoc too though thats more themepark with a lot of sandbox elements

Ah.... Wildstar, the first among many "open/choose the quest you want to grind" themeparks using the word Sandbox or Sandparks as a marketing gimmick.

While I completely agree with your sentiment, good luck getting a modern game that would embrace such a philosophy. Raiders are a very vocal and hateful minority that still has a deathgrip on the genre. Sadly, there are too many developers who happen to feel the same way or even worse, used to be raiders themselves before they took up the job of making them. It's also in part due to development laziness. It's easier and more cost effective to cater to a single play style than it is to cater to multiples, especially for high end content. I'm afraid I don't see this trend changing anytime soon and I don't think there are any development houses out there right now who would be up for the challenge.

I am not opposed to the idea. Gives players direction while giving them multiple options. I am curious to see how this plays out.

Here's an example from the game (I've talked to some of this in a dev blog before but with a bit more detail):
So, in a playsession, without really considering it, I scanned loftite as a scientist, found a random jump buffer, was blowing up marauders for my quest by luring them into the minefield, while some of the mines were in the low-gravity area.
I mis-timed one and tried to jump out of the mine explosion and blew myself via double-jump-height-in-low-gravity-with-scientist-boost literally up to the cloud layer, and splatted down on the very top of the cliff. Where, by the way, there was some hidden content off the normal quest path - so it all worked out.
In our minds the fun happens when we provide enough density of small (well, some big, but groups of small work too) things in an area that the interactions become interesting. So there is some direction (the quest that had me killing Marauders) but there are enough individual elements on the playground that there is a chance for some emergent or clever gameplay.
Other areas in the game currently vary in density and interestingness of the dynamic and static elements we've popped in. Common feedback in playsessions is if an area feels "not dense enough" or "too dense" for content. We actually want some variation so it a) doesn't feel monotone and b) if an area is too much for you you have some fallback areas that might be more or less dense to match your pace.
We don't promise re-inventing everything in the world, but IMO the right combinations of these are pretty dang compelling for me as a pretty experienced gamer, but we see noobies having fun too when they walk in off the street for a usability test.
We're just making a game we enjoy, honestly, and aren't really stressing about fitting into any particular box. That may or may not make for easy marketing, but we figure good games sell and if we make something we and our testers (growing as we hit new phases of test) like it'll work out.

The art style kind of reminded me of a Space Ace MMO. You have some good ideas and hopefully you can build on them and stay true to the vision you want.

To me I feel like the perfect sand park would be a modern take on runescape. It has optional quests.You can grind . Player driven economy. Various crafting skills. Player housing. Mini games and an option full loot PvP area. They have the concepts right (most of the time).

In that vein I am trying to be nice and say this in the nicest possible way.
This post does not make me more interested in your game, it makes me less interested. Everything you have mentioned here has been done before. The last thing this genre needs is another game full of the same things as the last 10 years.
I have followed quite a few of the Wildstar Wednesday news releases and I do have my eye on it , but it IS going to take something new and different for me to buy another MMO box. So far I am not convinced.
The game does have a style and humor about it that could even be called charming, but the information given so far is couched in a lot of very carefully chosen words or cute but uninformative videos that cause more questions than they answer. I have learned, at an expense, that it is more important to look at what is NOT said.
So far there has been a lot written on Wildstar, but there is very little actual solid information. There has been a lot that has been NOT said. This fact alone concerns me
I just wanted to let you know that these games cannot continue to live by selling marketing buzzwords while delivering the same game we have all seen before.People are starting to get wise. Even the kids these days.
Thank you again for posting and in return I will continue to keep an interested eye on your game. I am just not "SOLD" at this point.
( Note to self-Don't say anything bad about Drizzt.)
An acerbic sense of humor is NOT allowed here.

NYU Traveler is a new, web-based portal that is linked to NYU's travel safety service, Worldcue. All members of the NYU community may utilize the site to either make their travel arrangements or to register the travel plans they made through other means.
Use your NYU NetID and password to book on-line reservations for air, rail, hotel, or car with either Egencia or American Express Travel. You can also call an agent at Egencia or AMEX Travel via the telephone numbers provided. By using one of these agencies, your travel plans will be automatically connected to Worldcue.
NYU Traveler has been created as a tool to enhance the safety of students, faculty, administrators, and staff traveling on University-related business. When you book or register through NYU Traveler, your travel plans are routed through Worldcue, a traveler safety service with which NYU has contracted. Worldcue will provide each member of the NYU community traveling for University-related reasons with up to the minute information about conditions in his or her destination that may affect personal safety and well-being. Worldcue will also hold all your travel plans so that NYU can more rapidly and effectively respond to you in an emergency, remove you or others from a suddenly dangerous location while abroad, or contact you to advise you on your safety and appropriate arrangements before you travel to a dangerous location.
When using NYU Traveler, you have the choice to either book your travel through the site or to register your plans. Choice was an important precept as we created NYU Traveler so, while we have integrated two well-established travel management companies — AMEX Travel and Egencia — into the NYU Traveler website (which will make things more convenient for you: booking with them through the website automatically transmits your travel information to Worldcue). You can absolutely make your own travel arrangements elsewhere and then register that information through the NYU Traveler site.
The preferred online booking agencies for NYU are AMEX Travel and Egencia. We chose these two firms because they are proven: they are widely used by other universities and businesses for their travel programs; their on-line booking technology is intuitive; they have 24/7 customer service, and we were able to work with them to automatically forward travel plan information to our travel safety service, Worldcue.
Worldcue is a service created to help protect the individual traveler: it analyzes news and information from around the world to identify emerging issues which may be a threat to a traveler going to a particular destination. These issues became acute for the University during the earthquake in Haiti and the uprisings in Egypt, where evacuation of NYU personnel was made more difficult and time-consuming by the absence of precise travel information. NYU's arrangement with Worldcue is that, after booking or registering through NYU Traveler, automatic e-mail updates will be sent to travelers about changing conditions and threats in their destinations. The privacy of NYU community members is important to us: your travel plan information is held safely and securely; it will only be accessed if there is an emergency or a serious threat, and then only by the senior leadership of NYU's Department of Public Safety.

I developed severe PE last pregnancy which put me in the hospital at 29 weeks (24 hr protein level was 3000) and caused me to deliver at 31 weeks after being on 14 bp pills a day to try and bring down my pressures.
I am pregnant again and 30 and a half weeks. I have been taking my bp twice daily for the past 3 months and it has always been normal until 2 days ago. It was 136/93 2 nights ago, then went down to 122/83 yesterday morning, then last night it was 138/88 and this morning it was 119/83. All of these readings have been after resting for 15+ min. The only thing that has happened a few days ago is I developed a cold which I have been fighting for 3 days now. Not sure if this could cause my nightly pressures to rise, but then why would they be low in the morning? I am seeing my doctor in 2 days so will see what he says, but I don't know what to think, are my pressures high or not? If you look at the night ones then the answer is yes, but the morning ones say no.

Welcome to the home for York College Athletics.
Ryan Weber begins his fifth season at the helm of the women's program and the fourth year as head coach of the men's team. Weber brings a stability and consistency to the Spartan squad as he looks to build a successful program.
Weber before taking over both teams, Weber previously served as an assistant to both squads before being named the women's head coach for the 2008 campaign. In his first season with the women's team, Weber guided a young Spartan squad to a 5-11 mark with a 3-2 record in Capital Athletic Conference play. In the 2010 campaign, the Weber-led Green and White posted a 7-9 record as well as a 4-2 mark in CAC action. The Spartans had their best campaign under Weber in 2011 when York went 11-7 overall including 5-2 in the CAC. York was hit hard by injuries in 2012 when their record slipped to 6-11.
Overall, Weber is 29-38 in his four complete seasons including a 16-10 mark in the CAC.
Weber then took the reigns of the men's program beginning in the 2009-2010 academic year. Under his tutelage, the Spartan men put together an official 9-9 record including a 4-2 mark in the conference. York followed that with a 12-8 mark including 5-2 in the CAC in 2011. Weber guided the Spartans to another double digit win season in 2012 as the Green and White went 11-8 and 4-3 in the league.
In three seasons, Weber's Spartans are 32-25 overall and 13-7 in the conference.
Weber is very familiar with the York College tennis program. He was a four-year player for the Spartans as he accumulated an overall singles record of 33-30 playing primarily in the top three slots of the York lineup. He combined with various teammates to notch a doubles record of 32-22 as he earned 65 victories for his career. Weber was a two-year captain for the Spartans, serving as the team leader during his junior and senior seasons.
Weber began his coaching career in 2006 as he assisted then-men's coach Mark Ludwig and then-women's coach Tammy Myers in running their respective programs. He was responsible for running team practices with an emphasis on drills designed to improve specific shots. Weber also helped the Spartans improve with shot selection strategies.
Weber brings additional tennis experience from Wisehaven Tennis Center where he has worked in a number of capacities since 2004. He also has served as a teaching pro at various summer camps conducted throughout the York area since 2005.

- Represent growers before legislative bodies, government agencies and the news media.
- Provide an open forum to exchange ideas.
- Resolve issues related to growing and marketing. Encourage cooperative efforts among grape growers.
- Support the continued production of quality winegrapes. Work to stimulate consumption of grapes for wine and other grape-based products.
- Collect and disseminate information on production and marketing to members.

California Sustainable Winegrowing AllianceCalifornia Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance
A Partnership Between California Vintners and Winegrape Growers
The Sustainable Winegrowing Program was initiated in January 2001 by winegrowing members of Wine Institute and the California Association of Winegrape Growers (CAWG) to promote vineyard and winery practices that are sensitive to the environment, responsive to the needs and interests of society-at-large, and economically feasible to implement and maintain. Wine Institute is a public policy advocacy group, representing more than 975 California wineries and affiliated businesses responsible for 85 percent of the nation's wine production. CAWG is a public policy advocacy group of winegrape growers, representing more than 60 percent of the total annual grape crush. Together they developed the Code of Sustainable Winegrowing Practices workbook as the basis for the Sustainable Winegrowing Program, providing a tool for vintners and growers to assess their practices and learn how to improve their overall sustainability. Wine Institute and CAWG formed the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance to assist in program implementation. These organizations will continue to work together to promote sustainable winegrowing practices that benefit the environment, the community and high quality grapes and wine.
A Proactive Approach to Sustainability
As the State's population explodes and urban areas encroach on traditionally rural farmland, the California wine community is taking a proactive, precautionary approach to address increasing pressure resulting from public and legislative perceptions, environmental decisions from regulatory and governmental bodies, and other growth-related issues. By adopting and implementing the Code of Sustainable Winegrowing Practices, members of the California wine community can greatly augment their collective and individual ability to respond to these pressures while demonstrating that they are responsible neighbors and committed stewards of the land.

Family Winemakers of CaliforniaFamily Winemakers of California
Family Winemakers of California was founded in 1991 to give voice and presence to small, family wineries in the public policy arena. In the wake of the referendum on the wine market order, which was not extended, several small wineries created another vintner association apart from Wine Institute.
Family Winemakers was originally named Premium Winemakers of America, a reflection of the organization's roots in producing quality table wine. In 1992, the organization was renamed Family Winemakers of California because it was an "organization that reflects the 'little guy's' point of view." The concept behind the association was to protect individual freedom from government over-regulation. The founders believed that an organization of this type would unite small wineries and address issues that were neglected by the California Wine Commission and Wine Institute.

Each month we schedule a wine oriented activity. Some of these involve visits to local wineries and tastings in support of the Santa Clara Valley and Santa Cruz Mountains wine industry. We help non-profit organizations with volunteer assistance by pouring wine at their events. Looking ahead, we're working to further encourage knowledge about our local winemaking industry and to preserve its history through the establishment of a Santa Clara Valley/Santa Cruz Mountains Wine Museum.

The appellation has seen significant growth and change since the start of the 21st century: in the space of a few years the number of wineries has grown from 40 to now over 60, and vineyards are proliferating. The precedence set by these legendary figures (along with best and sustainable practices in the vineyards and wineries) can be tasted today in our world-class wines.
Recognized as an AVA in 1981, the Santa Cruz Mountains Appellation was among the first to be defined by its mountain topography, following the fog line along the coast to encompass our highest vineyards on the ridgetops at 2600' elevation. Our vineyards and wineries and the wines they produce reflect this mountain terrain, and their proximity to the ocean and the resulting maritime climate.
The appellation is characterized by intimate, artisan wineries tucked in among the trees along beautiful mountain roads, or perched atop the ridges with sweeping views into the valleys or along the coast. Visitors can meet with and talk with the winemakers and enjoy exploring the mountain and coastal ambience and little towns. Wine tasting here is as much a discovery of the natural beauty of the mountains as it is a delightful discovery of our world-class wines. Visitors can taste at several nearby wineries in a day, and drive from the mountaintops (where it snows in winter!) to the coast and enjoy a sunset walk on the beach!

Features & Benefits of Wenzel Sleeping Bags
Wenzel offers a wide variety of sizes, shapes, temperature ratings, and fabrics to ensure a good night sleep. See below for how to select a sleeping bag:
Temperature rating:
- The bag you select should be rated to the coldest nighttime temperature you expect to encounter, and consider exceeding that number for a little security. Keep in mind that temperature ratings are for comparison only from one bag to another. One's comfort and protection from weather is affected by season of use and land elevation. Temperature ratings are given as guidelines only, not a guarantee. The final warmth factor is dependent upon one's body metabolism, health, emotional state, as well as ground temperature, wind, humidity, shelter, and altitude. When in doubt, purchase a bag with more warmth than you think you will need, you can always unzip the bag for ventilation.
- Consider putting a camp pad or mat beneath your bag, it not only adds cushion but more importantly, the pad insulates your body from the cold surfaces beneath you. The sleeping bag traps the air warmed by your body, and the pad buffers you from the cold ground.
- Clothing worn when sleeping needs to be dry and clean, any moisture in your clothing can keep your body colder while sleeping so it is always a good idea to change into a new set of clothes before going to bed.
- If your bag has a hood, cinch up the hood for additional warmth while sleeping.
Bag Shape
Comfort is the primary importance when selecting a sleeping bag and the shape of the bag affect the comfort level. Comfort needs to be looked at in respect of not only the roominess in a bag but the thermal efficiency.
- Rectangular shape bag offers bed-like roominess and can be unzipped and used as a comforter, excellent for family camping use and RV?s. Rectangular bag come in different sizes including youth, adult, and oversize.
- Mummy shape is the most thermally efficient and fits the body contours starting at the head and down to the feet. This shape allows the least amount of bag for the most amount of warmth. This shape features comp actability, carrying ease, three or four season use, and the optimum weight to warmth ratio.
Wenzel offers a wide variety of outer and liner materials and usually a personal choice. While polyester outers are lightweight and more compactable, poly/cotton and cotton duck outers are more rugged where weight is not a concern. Liner fabrics range from lightweight and compactable polyesters to cotton flannels for a softer and warmer feel. Insulation provides the barrier to trap your body heat and Wenzel?s fiberfill?s are non-allergenic, provides some insulation value when wet and dries quickly.
Care Instruction
- Washing - machine wash cold using mild detergent in a front loading commercial washer. Top load agitator washing machines can damage a sleeping bag.
- Drying - Use a commercial dryer on low setting or air dry.
- Do Not Dry Clean - drying cleaning can damage your sleeping bag.
- Storing - when storing your bag for extended periods of time, do not leave it compressed in stuff sack. Instead place the bag in a larger storage bag, lie loosely on a shelf, or hang your bag in a closet.
- Stuffing Your Sleeping Bag - the best way to stuff your sleeping bag is to grab the top of the stuff sack with one hand, place the bottom of the stuff sack between your feet. Grab the foot of the sleeping bag with your extra hand and stuff it into the bottom of the sack. Grab the next section higher up and continue to stuff until the bag is all the way in.

STANFORD, Calif. — Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and second-ranked Connecticut played spoiler and streak-buster this time, snapping No. 1 Stanford's nation-leading 82-game home unbeaten run with a surprisingly easy 61-35 rout Saturday.
It was the Huskies who saw the end of their NCAA record 90-game winning streak at Maples Pavilion with a 71-59 loss two years ago, almost to the day on Dec. 30.
Mosqueda-Lewis scored 19 points as UConn (11-0) thoroughly outplayed Stanford (11-1) on both ends of the floor in this highly touted game featuring the country's top programs and Final Four regulars from opposite coasts.
Stanford got harassed right off the home floor that it ruled with perfection and dominant play for nearly six years – and the Huskies surely took the Cardinal's No. 1 spot along with it.
Chiney Ogwumike had 18 points and 13 rebounds as Stanford lost at Maples Pavilion for the first time since March 2007.

McAfee continually strives to improve our local and global communities through philanthropy and volunteering. At the core of our community focus is McAfee Cares, an employee-driven program that enlists the power and enthusiasm of the global McAfee workforce to make a difference in communities around the world where McAfee does business and where employees live and work. McAfee Cares combines corporate donations, matching gifts, product and service contributions, and employee volunteer efforts into a single program. With the support of employees around the world, including active involvement from our executive leadership team, McAfee Cares makes targeted donations of time and money to fight cybercrime, aid education and healthcare, and promote environmental initiatives.
McAfee Cares reaches out to the global community through the following corporate and employee-led efforts.
Endowment Grants
Through the McAfee Endowment Fund, we provide financial grants to nonprofit organizations around the world. McAfee Endowment grants to nonprofit organizations primarily focus on advancing the state of cybersecurity and education worldwide. The Silicon Valley Community Foundation manages McAfee's grants programs.
The McAfee Endowment has made grants to a variety of organizations around the world, including the American Red Cross, Council of Europe, Common Sense Media, National District Attorney's Association, National Cyber Security Alliance, National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Teach for America, and The Prince's Trust.
Matching Gifts
McAfee strives to increase the impact of employee charitable contributions by matching all full- and part-time North American employee donations to qualified organizations, up to $1,000 annually per employee. A qualified recipient must be a designated 501(c)(3) organization; a government agency, such as a public school or county hospital; or an accredited educational institution.
Gifts to individuals or donations for political or religious purposes are not eligible for matching funds.
In-Kind Donations
McAfee regularly contributes to community groups with in-kind donations. Through our collection drives, employees donate canned goods, clothing, toys, books, cell phones, school supplies, and more, to organizations such as Second Harvest Food Bank, Toys for Tots, and Family Giving Tree. The McAfee Plano, TX office recently launched the "Helping Hands Program," a central donation site that accepts cell phones, eyeglasses, and toiletries for contribution to local organizations.
On a corporate level, McAfee also donates products to community recipients, including more than $1 million in McAfee intrusion prevention technology to the Rochester Institute of Technology, and security products to the American Red Cross to protect networks at relief centers set up after Hurricane Katrina.
Employee Volunteering & Fundraising
We are proud of our employees and the hours they commit to volunteering in their communities. McAfee employees tutor children, clean up the environment, support the arts, raise funds to fight diseases, and much more. McAfee organizes team volunteer projects that support local charities. Over the past years, employees planted gardens to benefit a homeless shelter (Cork, Ireland), visited homes and programs for children (Singapore and India), participated in a city-wide cleanup day (Plano, TX), refurbished houses for the financially needy (Plano, TX; Santa Clara, CA), sorted and wrapped holiday toys and gifts for needy children (Santa Clara, CA), and taught school kids about the dangers of cybercrime (Beaverton, OR; St. Paul, MN; Santa Clara, CA; Plano, TX).
McAfee employees are also generous providers of financial donations, raising money for the Humane Society, breast cancer and juvenile diabetes research, and other children's charities. In 2009, one-day events at McAfee's Santa Clara, CA; Plano, TX; and Canadian offices raised more than $50,000 for the St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.

Woman denies charge of trying to kill a police officerDecember 28,2012PROVIDED PHOTO
Jennifer BerubeA transient woman who allegedly tried to kill a Rutland police officer by cutting his throat with a knife was ordered jailed without bail Friday after she pleaded innocent to a charge of attempted murder.
Jennifer Berube, 39, didn't speak during a brief appearance in Rutland criminal court in which she stood in chains while her attorney entered a denial on her behalf to a criminal charge that carries a potential lifetime prison sentence.
Judge Nancy Corsones scheduled a weight of the evidence hearing for next Thursday which will determine whether Berube will continue to be jailed without the option of release by bail.
Berube and her boyfriend John MacLean III, were arrested Thursday afternoon for allegedly trying to use a stolen credit card at businesses on North Main Street and Woodstock Avenue.
The pair was being booked on a number of petty offenses and probably would have been released with a citation to appear in court on a later date when Berube somehow obtained a multi-bladed knife and attempted to pull it across the throat of Officer Damon Nguyen who was on duty in the booking area, according to Rutland police Sgt. John Sly and court filings.
"If it wasn't for the officer's skill set, it would have been a totally different outcome," Sly said. "The minute she laid hands on him, he responded and neutralized the situation."
Instead of cutting across the officer's throat the way Sly said she intended too, the blade left only a minor cut.
Nguyen was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center where he was treated and released.
Berube was also taken to the hospital after she was restrained by the officer and other members of the force who rushed to assist him.
During the struggle, Sly said the woman cut both hands on the knife she wielded.MORE IN This Just InThe family of a Connecticut man who was killed in a car accident on Route 4 last Friday night is...

Mirko CroCop Filipovic has a new opponent for his fight at Legends 2, which takes place November 8 in the Russian capital city of Moscow.
He had been due to rematch Aleksandr Emelianenko in a rerun of their meeting under the PRIDE FC banner. That fight ended in a KO win for Filipovic but Emelianenko Jr. was early in his career at that point.
The rematch was scratched last week when Emelianenko was caught up in yet another scandal resulting from a drunken incident in his native Russia. Media footage of his arrest following an assault allegation showed that he was in poor physical condition and hardly ready to fight on November 8.
Alexey Oleinik fighter will replace him, says promoter Ruslan Suleymanov. Oleinik is a Bellator and KSW veteran with a 47-9 record. He is known as The Boa Constrictor and has 38 submissions wins to his name.
This is one of the top Russian heavyweights in MMA. Oleynik won many times over the last few months. With Alexei we can expect a very good fight, said Sulejmanov.
"Of course, replacing Aleksander with Alexei will upset some people, while others will be please. People are different. Aleksander is an infamous athlete and person so he has fans and detractors in equal measure.

Beliz Brother
Seattle City Hall
600 5th Avenue
Fleets and Facilities Department 1% for Art
Beliz Brother's continuum glows luminously blue with an assembled collection of more than 5,000 images featuring the people of Seattle. Five, backlit glass panels framed in stainless steel form an 8-foot tall by 10-foot wide and 8-inch deep glass wall insert at the entrance to the City Council offices on the second floor. Two layers of safety glass sandwich photographic film printed with historic and contemporary images of Seattleites. From a distance the images appear as a rhythmic surface pattern. Close up, the images, ranging from one and a half inches to four and a half inches, read as a people's history of Seattle.
Brother explains, "To create this project I worked with over 40 Seattle organizations to collect more than 7,000 images. These organizations included small community groups, large and small historical organizations, local and federal archives, and local families. They span the time from the founding of Seattle in the mid 19th century to the present day. Images were collected from every neighborhood, ethnic population,school and occupation from archives, large and small, throughout the city, and together express the continuum of Seattle's cultural identity."

I live in Seattle and have been married to Gretchen Taylor for 35 years. The thrill of photographing for me is walking out the door not knowing exactly what we are going to photograph.
I enjoy taking pictures of the fast-paced and unpredictable everyday activities that occur on any street, in any city, and in any country that I visit. And timing is everything. I have developed not only a keen eye for meaningful moments but quick reflexes to capture that split-second opportunity.
Creative Process: Capturing the moment by converting a three-dimensional scene into an outstanding two-dimensional photo. The first challenge is to make the perfect exposure and frame the subject within the camera- I implement only minimal editing in the post-processing phase. I strive to capture memorable moments utilizing only natural light, color, and gesture.
But most importantly, I ask myself what made me press the shutter at that moment. What is the WOW factor.

CONCORD, N.C. – WKA officials are pleased to announce the 2014 RLV Tuned Exhaust Products Gold Cup Series schedule, which returns to a four-race platform next year after a couple seasons of hosting five national events.
The Gold Cup Series will open at its traditional venue, the 103rd Street Sports Complex in Jacksonville, Florida. The season kickoff will take place March 7-9, and the 2013 Gold Cup year-end awards ceremony will be held in conjunction with the event.
The Gold Cup will have some time off between rounds one and two. The second event of the 2014 season will run July 11-13 at G&J Kartway in Camden, Ohio. WKA officials have opted to move the Camden event to the weekend after Fourth of July in an effort to give racing families and officials the holiday weekend to spend away from the racetrack before embarking on southwest Ohio for a full weekend of racing after the holiday.
Following the Camden national, round three will approach fast with an August 15-17 date at Pittsburgh International Race Complex in Wampum, Pa. The 2014 version of the Pittsburgh Gold Cup show will mark the sixth consecutive year the series has visiting western Pennsylvania.
The season closer will come with a TBA October weekend at Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw, S.C.
The Kershaw event not only will close the 2014 Gold Cup tour, but it will serve as the series' Grand National. WKA and CMP officials are still determining the October weekend for the Gold Cup and WKA will announce the official date as soon as it becomes available.
Series officials are optimistic the Gold Cup Series will continue the growth it enjoyed through the latter part of this past season.
The final rounds of 2013 – Pittsburgh and Kershaw – saw a spike in entries from rounds two and three with a high point focused around strong competition and entries in the new Sportsman Pro Gas Animal and Senior Pro Gas Animal classes.
At the Kershaw season closer in early October, over $3,500 in purses were awarded to senior racers between Senior Pro Gas, Animal Medium and Friday' Senior Animal Money Race, while a number junior and senior racers left the track with new sets of Bridgestone tires, Van-K Wheels certificates, gallons of Thor Oil and R2C Performance air filters.
In 2014 an updated class structure will cut down the number of divisions running each day as the series moves to a Briggs Animal-only series, along with a new Senior LO206 class. Each age category will have Pro Gas and traditional methanol Animal classes.
WKA is currently taking number reservations for the 2014 season. Click here to download the 2014 Reserved Number Form.

The other trailer looks amazing though!
The other trailer looks amazing though!
Rewatched Dark Knight Rises on blueray-was reminded of how weird the scene is when Gordon is sentenced and Bane orders Miranda to be taken to him. Next she's back with Fox when Bruce is fake captured and then next we know she's back with Bane. It's weird bit of scene following or editing.
EHEHEHEHEHE My sister and mom were watching goodfellas fucking enthralled with what was happening and my dad looked at me like, "this shit isn't gonna last, Imma get them watching meaningless bullshit again in no time."
Next time I'm back there I'll bring Donnie Brasco or something
My favorite part of Patrick Stewart's Scrooge is when he wakes up from the spirit world and says something to the effect of "I will let the joy in my heart!" Then he straight up fakes a heart attack for half a minute before laughing like a maniac. It's almost as awesome as "THERE! ARE! FOUR! LIGHTS!"

'Django Unchained' is pretty great. Tarantino's movies have always had a healthy dose of humour throughout, and it's the way it is used that I've loved, and his wordplay is in top form here again. I wasn't the biggest fan of 'Jackie Brown', and I really feel that the 'Kill Bill' movies are insanely overrated, but 'Inglourious Basterds' and now 'Django' have both hit that perfect mix for me. Drama, humour and action come together in his own distinct brand. If you're not a fan of that "brand" this movie won't do anything for you, but if you are then you're probably going to see this movie regardless of anything typed here.
I will say that it's great to see Walton Goggins get a decent role in a big movie, and any time James Remar pops up in a flick (aside from 'Mortal Kombat: Annihilation') I'm happy. Also, it's good to see Samuel L. Jackson really act again, and not just be "Samuel L. Jackson" like he normally does. Waltz and DiCaprio were great, and Jamie Foxx owned the role. I'm not generally a Foxx fan, but yeah. He was great.
I had about 30% of the people ragequit django 20 minutes in at the theater room I was in.
I was surprised nobody left the theater I was in. I was sure this little old lady wasn't going to make it, but everybody stayed.
Django was excellent. Met and exceeded expectations. The music was great, as always.
Christoph Waltz is pretty much one of the greatest actors ever.
Just those last two posts alone are enough to sell me on seeing this.
One issue I had was how long some of Christoph's speeches were, it became too much build up for an obvious conclusion everytime.
The movie made me wonder for the first time how Germans were viewed before the 1900s. I mean, when people think "German" now they tend to think of two World Wars. I wonder what their rep as a people was before all that.
Just the way some of the characters commented on Schultz got that cog moving in my head.
-Internally 3 speeches in
It worked for me. Tarantino's dialog + Waltz's performance kept me from thinking it dragged.
If you were that surprised that some of the dialogue was too long, you must have forgotten it was a Tarantino movie.
At least it wasn't as bad as the lunch dialogue in Death Proof.
It's not the length that's the inherent problem here, The pay off to all those speeches was too little for such huge build ups. Everything else was superb, Christoph is now a top 3 actor in today's film game.
Samuel L. Jackson as 1860's Uncle Ruckus was the fucking best. The "You Positive?" scene was the fucking best. So many good scenes.
Just got back from Django, so fucking worth it. I literally have nothing to complain about. I had a big goofy-ass smile on my face for the entire flick. Casting is a strong point in every Tarantino movie but it really shined in this one. Leo and Sam Jackson were the standouts, with Foxx and Waltz putting in strong performances as well.
Surprisingly, there were only two rage-quitters in my theater.
Who the fuck rage-quits a film. Wait, if I went to see every film out I'd rage quit like half I guess.
We don't get Django here until next month. I am rather Jelly.

Four-year-old Brett Sterling wanted to be a goalie.
He idolized Hall of Fame goaltender Grant Fuhr, and wanted to follow in his footsteps, even selecting to wear number 31 in his honor. Only one small problem - four-year-old Brett Sterling was too small to stand up wearing full goalie gear.
"I really wanted to be a goalie, so my parents put me in full goalie gear and put me on the ice and I couldn't stand up because I was really small," Sterling recalled. "So they said, 'well, you can't play goalie.'"
So, Sterling signed up to play forward. Since then, he's made a lot of goaltenders wish they'd picked a different position, too.
As a five-year-old, Sterling scored 84 goals in 18 games.
That's pretty much how things have gone ever since.
"Throughout my whole career I've been able to score goals," he shrugged. "It's almost just right place, right time. I seem to have a knack for finding the area where the puck bounces to me. There's skill involved, but I would never say I don't get lucky, too. I think in the long run, you create your own luck and finding the right areas and being willing to go into those right areas helps you make that luck."
Now a 25-year-old left wing for the Chicago Wolves, Sterling has had quite a bit of luck – enough to snag the third-most markers in franchise history (125 and counting at press time) in three-and-a-half seasons with the team, and the chance to represent the Wolves in the 2010 AHL All-Star Classic on Jan. 19 – but his goal-scoring aptitude was present long before his arrival in the Windy City.
In 2002, Sterling helped the United States Junior National Team capture the squad's first-ever gold medal at the World Under-18 Championships in Slovakia. His nine goals in eight games led the U.S. team and were second overall in the tournament.
Later that year, he enrolled at Colorado College, where he proceeded to lead the Tigers in goals every season but one – his freshman year, when he ranked second. When the Los Angeles native graduated in 2006, he had right-place-at-the-right-timed himself into third on the school's all-time goal-scoring register with 108 tallies in 149 games. His 56 power-play goals were more than any player in WCHA history ever had amassed.
When it was time for the Atlanta Thrashers' fifth selection in the 2003 National Hockey League Entry Draft to turn pro, then Wolves Head Coach John Anderson put him on a line with a center named Jason Krog and a right wing named Darren Haydar, and the most prolific scoring trio in American Hockey League history was born.
"They made me a better player, no doubt," Sterling said of the pair, who each won the AHL MVP and scoring titles while the line was together from 2006 to 2008. "They're not only great players on the ice, they're good guys off the ice. They helped me become a more mature player and person.
"But it's not just playing with great players, it's respecting the coaches for knowing that you have to play a guy like myself, who likes to score goals, with a playmaker. I am really grateful to Johnny Anderson for recognizing that and playing to my strength by playing me with those guys as a rookie. By putting me in that situation, he put me in a spot to succeed."
After playing on his line for the better part of three seasons, Krog thinks what Sterling has is almost intangible.
"I think it's something that you're almost born with," Krog said. "He just knows how to put the puck in the net, and he can do it year in and year out better than most people in the league. He's able to find the open spots and get great scoring position. And when he gets the puck, there's a switch that goes on. He just knows where to put it."
Sterling broke the 12-year-old franchise record for goals by a rookie in the first 20 games of the season in 2006, and went on to score 55 goals that season, more than any other player in the AHL, and was named the league's rookie of the year as a result. The following season, he shared second in the league with 38 goals, one marker behind Krog.
Players who are "goal scorers" can sometimes be termed a bit selfish – after all, you don't score too many goals by passing the puck to someone else – which is why it is interesting to note who passed the puck to Krog for that 39th goal in 2008.
It was Sterling.
The duo entered the final game of the season tied for first in the league with 37 tallies each. Krog was also leading the AHL in assists and points at the time, and a goal-scoring title would make him just the third player in league history to earn the "triple crown" of scoring. For Sterling, it would mean leading the AHL in goals each of his first two years as a pro.
"It was funny, guys were joking about it before the game," Sterling remembered. "Krogger scored in the first or second period to go up and then I scored to make it 38 even. There was an empty net with like a minute left and Johnny goes 'Krogger, Sterls, get out there.' The whole bench was rolling knowing what he was doing.
"Basically, the puck came up the wall, I got it, took a few strides and both D started to come to me. As much as I'd like to say I was doing this severely unselfish thing by passing the puck, it was the right play at the right time. Could I have gone to the net? Sure. Would I have hit it? Who knows. It was a great thing for Jason to win the triple crown. He deserved it that year. I'm not too worried about that one goal. He thanked me for it after and it was the least I could do for him after he had set me up for so many goals."
"It was really unselfish on his part and it showed a lot of character," Krog said. "It really exemplified our team and why we had so much success that year. It didn't matter who got the individual accolades, it was all about the team stuff."
When it comes to helping the team, Sterling has a tendency to come through. Twenty-four of his 125 goals as of press time were game-winners – eight of them in overtime.
{gallery}/breakaway/0910/Sterling:::1:0:{/gallery}"That's just been something that's happened since I was young," Sterling said. "When the game is on the line, if I get the chance to score – I might not do it in the first, second or third period on the same shot – but in overtime, I will. I don't think there's a better feeling than scoring a game-winning goal or an overtime goal."
Despite having scored hundreds of goals in the last seven years, Sterling still gets excited every time he puts the puck in the net.
"It never gets old, and I don't think it ever will," he said. "Everybody loves scoring goals, whether you score one a year or 50 a year, I don't think it really matters."
Back in his current spot atop the league's goal-scoring rankings once again, the only people who are sorry Sterling's childhood dream of being a goaltender was short-lived are the goaltenders he faces each night.
His only complaint? Occasionally, he enjoys his job too much.
"When I celebrate, it's never planned. It's spontaneous," he said. "Sometimes I look back and I'm slightly embarrassed by my actions, but it's just that pure emotion from everything that goes into scoring a goal."

Each year since the 1997 death of a public safety officer at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport in a traffic accident, fellow officers have gathered at his grave.
That tradition continued Thursday in Arlington on the 16th anniversary of the death of Cpl. Richard "Rick" Barreda.
His mother, Maria Barreda-Alvarado, told the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport Department of Public Safety officers gathered, "This means so much to us."
Barreda was 26 when he died on Feb. 14, 1997. He was trying to avoid a collision with a shuttle van but slid underneath after being forced to lay down his motorcycle.
Floyd Martinez - the first officer to respond to the crash scene - tells the Fort Worth Star-Telegram the gathering helps them "remember him in our way."

Oregon Community Theatre recruiting actors for February production of 'M*A*S*H'Written by Staff Reports | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Oregon Community Theatre will host auditions for a production of "M*A*S*H" from 6-8 p.m. Nov. 21 and 22 at St. Mark Lutheran Church, 611 Woodville Road.
Director Jeff Smith is looking for 15 men and 15 women ages 16 and older.
"M*A*S*H" stands for Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, and joining it are two unpredictable madcaps, Hawkeye and Duke. They can't be dealt with casually, however, because they are also two of the best chest surgeons in South Korea. They decide to wage a campaign to get a young Korean sent to the United States and entered in a good school.
It's not exactly like the television show, according to a news release. "Hawkeye has a scene with a woman psychiatrist who believes he's been trying to lobster-trap mermaids in a rice paddy. There's a jolly encounter with the baby-talking Bonwit sisters, the worst tap-dancing act the U.S.O. ever sent overseas. A sergeant is selling dumb GIs fishing rights in the Bay of Phum. 'Radar' O'Reilly, a soldier with incredible hearing, anticipates things before they happen. The proprietor of a painless dental clinic is cured of dark moods by the re-creation of an old monster movie, and a monster."
This production will be performed at 8 p.m. Feb. 14-15 and 21-22 and at 3 p.m. Feb. 16 at at Fassett Auditorium in Oregon. For tickets call (419) 691-1398 or visit the web site

Jaime Hernandez: 1921 is the last year in which the Mint struck Morgan Silver Dollars. The coins were struck from the large and famous Nevada Silver discovery, the Comstock Lode.
The 1921-D Morgan Dollar is also the only Morgan Silver Dollar that was struck at the Denver Mint. Despite being the last year of the Morgan Dollar it is also the only year in which you can obtain an example from each three different Mints. Which are the 1921 Philadephia, Denver and San Francisco Morgan Dollars.

Like it or not, nonreplaceable CPUs may be the future of desktops
A CPU separated from its motherboard may soon be a thing of the past.
Casey Johnston
We're still waiting on Intel's next-generation Haswell CPUs to launch, but details and rumors are already swirling about processors that are even further down the company's roadmap. The latest scuttlebutt is that Broadwell, the follow-up to Haswell due in 2014, will forego standard socketed desktop processors. If the rumors are true'and both ZDNet and SemiAccurate report that they've received confirmation from PC OEMs'Broadwell desktop CPUs will need to be soldered directly to motherboards, and won't be easily swappable or upgradeable by users and system builders.
CPUs soldered to motherboards aren't anything new. While Intel-powered desktops normally use a land grid array (LGA) package to allow for OEM and end-user upgrades, laptops, all-in-ones, and other more highly integrated systems already often use soldered-on CPUs in a ball grid array (BGA) package. However, this would be the first time that this limitation would be imposed on standard desktop processors.
While this move wouldn't have much of an impact on the vast majority of desktop users, most of whom simply don't perform their own processor upgrades, there's been quite a bit of hand wringing among power users who feel that their ability to upgrade and build their own systems is in jeopardy. But are the desktop-as-we-know-it's days really numbered, or is all of this worrying much ado about nothing?

Brownwood (January 26, 2013) -- The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor women's basketball team could not overcome a first-half cold spell as the Cru's second-half comeback bid fell short in an 84-74 loss to Howard Payne Saturday afternoon in Brownwood. The loss drops the UMHB women to 4-14 overall and 3-10 in American Southwest Conference play on the season. The Lady Jackets improve to 16-3 overall and 11-2 in ASC play with the victory.
The two teams were close through the early going before HPU took advantage of a UMHB cold stretch to post an 18-6 run and take a 24-12 lead midway through the first half. The Cru battled back to within six before another Lady Jacket spurt pushed the lead to 44-27 at halftime. The HPU lead would grow to 60-39 before UMHB chipped away. The Cru cut the gap to 71-63 on four straight Kourtney Bevers free throws with 2:00 remaining, but Howard Payne scored the next six points and UMHB would not get closer than ten points the rest of the way.
Samara Williams had a team-best 18 points to lead the Cru. Taylor Tucker had a huge game with 17 points and a game-high 18 rebounds, Bevers added 11 points and Brandy Dittert had 10 off the bench for UMHB. The Cru dominated the boards, out rebounding HPU 58-38 but shot just 37 percent from the field and turned the ball over 28 times in the loss. UMHB was 5-10 from three-point range in the game.
Tresta Donahoo topped all scorers with 22 points for Howard Payne, going 7-11 from the field and adding eight assists. Dana Marrs and Kayla Scott chipped in 13 points apiece for the Lady Jackets. HPU shot 42 percent from the field despite hitting just 5-16 from beyond the arc.
The UMHB women will close out their six-game road trip with games at Concordia Texas next Tuesday and at Hardin-Simmons University next Thursday. The Cru will then close out the regular season with four straight home games. UMHB will enter next week's action just one win behind fourth-place Texas Lutheran in the race for the final berth in the ASC Championship Tournament.
