The russian version of might be good but I am hearing European players say the ping from playing cross atlantic is pretty bad. Also I prefer the current model of F2P over what the chinese model has right now, straight up buy to win skills in the cash shop, which snail has kind of implied it will not do in the US version.
So far you can not buy actual skills in the US cash shop, you can not buy actual economic items (like wheat) in the US cash shop, though you can get boosters to help with the gaining of skills and wheat faster in game. This is acceptable, I wish they would end the prayer event but I am using it with silver I got in game.
If Snail goes the asian route and just flat out puts OP skills in the cash shop I will stop playing or caring about this game that day.

I will not go tick by tick, but I will offer up my opinion..
The game is complicated. One of the most complicated RPG systems I have ever played. Also one of the richest, it has many aspects.. I still don't tottally understand the whole game, but I can tell you from the Life skills minigames to the Team Practice "dancing" minigame that there is quite a bit to learn.
It has a great deal of choices to make and the character creation is far from limiting, although it keeps you within the lore (no European on African features or skin colors). Schools play a defined role, and the game really puts emphasis on school politics. A whole system of espionage and conflict between the schools exist. Guilds also have their place and for some people (like EvE) can supersede the school choice so you could typically have a band of misfits from many schools if you choose to.
The negatives for me is that combat can be confusing and the control scheme for me was very different. The game could be more responsive than it is right now. Too laggy for sure and it makes combat more of a guessing game than tactical. Also the cash shop only offers rentable gear (it's only for looks, but you still have to rent it every month) which makes no sense for so many vanity items.
There are no day and night cycles or weather.. Not a big deal for most but in a game touted as being a sandbox this is actually an important feature. Most sandboxes have very detailed weather and time systems.
Still some translation to be fixed, but it's still very playable.
In order to enjoy the game right now you really have to buy deluxe edition, I have it and have had no problems with payment. They offer many ways to pay. Since there are going to be no further wipes the VIP status is in effect and it's 60 days for VIP plus I think 15 gold.
In all, I find the game entertaining. Not a waste at all.

Most Morbid One
Was trying to make a quick bit of change before I logged and that's when I saw my chance. The perfect kidnap victim..
As I'm planning my grab and escape, because you know the laws always looking and wanna be hero's are everywhere. That's when this Tangman decides to jump my target just before my approach..
Well no other choice.. Time to kill her and claim my prize. Unfortunately she wasn't up to fight for the rights on our victim and bailed. I didn't complain, was too tired and didn't want more blood on my hands than was needed..
Delivery made on time and I logged..
The game really allows for some interesting encounter.. This was in Chengdu the most populated player hub of the cities currently. I've checked out Jingling also and it looks pretty nice, not finished though. Can't wait till more players actually can get into the game on a regular basis and we can push out to populate other cities..
PM before you report at least or you could just block.

Thanks so much for the replies guys.
I started over with a new account and purchased ViP. Im confused more than i have ever been in any game in my life and thats saying something, but i think ive found my new game. It isnt the normal "fresh, fun, and fake" feeling i get with new games the last few years either. Its quite freaking amazing imo.
I get the distinct feeling i will not tire of this game any time soon. (which is new and refreshing!!)
I chose Shaolin. I finally earned my Shaolin Monk title, its newbie i know, but im proud. TP (team practice) is just lovely. A group of 10 players working in unison practicing martial arts like you would see in a movie. Not attacking each other mind you, but standing in a formed unit moving together and *nobody* can go afk! I messed up my first turn but have aced the others so far. Its simple enough. But to see everyone working in tandem is just awesome looking really... Ive never seen a mechanic like that before.
Im pretty speechless when it comes to the game tbh. My son came in the room (hes 10) and he was all like "WHOA daddy what game is THAT!?!?" haha.
Loving it so far.

You don't call up JCrew in May and say, "Wtf guys, my friend bought these pants for 40% off in December, how come I don't get the same discount?"
Yes, they're a legit game company, your cc info is safe. You can always pay by credit card if you're worried and dispute through the bank if anything comes up (haven't heard of any issues, but safety first!)
I do enjoy the game it's a great sandboxy world with fair and meaningful pvp. What I mean by fair is that you won't find yourself getting ganked all day. You can place bounties on people and if people gank people "illegally" then they acrue punishment points and go to jail. They can also suffer School punishments for breaking school rules (some of which include PK'ing) and you can be forced to repent (spending time in-game kneeling at an npc for forgiveness). So pvp is very much task focused, you can take on roles hunt outlaws in the world, detect spys or be a spy, steal opposing school's secret techniques and so on. Lots of back and forth, but little pointless ganking.
As far as advice goes, I'd say don't quit right away! You log in and it's like "what the what?" AoW has a very steep learning curve. The tutorials are limited in scope and aren't very deep, there is little information on the web currently so you won't just be able to google how to do things.
Combat is a little odd at first, you have to put away your expectations and previous experiences on how combat typically plays out. It feels clunky because you hit a skill and your character performs it but doesn't really move around. The reason is that the game in the long run is about depth of abilities and your knowledge of skills combined with twitch flying. If you approch fights as a brawler you are missing much of the games value and you will either win or lose based on who has the most damage. It's more about assessing your opponent, using flying skills for mobility (flying abilities are limited by a meter which replenishes, so there's a tactical element of how to use them) and some skills work with flying manuvers. It's a lot, I'm still learning, you can switch your internal skills as you discover and level more of them to make certain abilities stronger than others, by level 10 internal you'll have 3 sets of skills from your school. It's just goes on. There's blocking, parrying, and attacking. There's "ultimate" type moves which are very powerful but requires rage to perform which generates slowly from attacking or slightly faster if you block. But if you block too much the attacks just start coming through and so on.
Is it pay to win? Well, not really. There is a plateau on skill levels so over time you'll be just as high level as someone else. However, someone who pays money can level faster. So it's a little pay to win at first, but in the long run you'll catch up and their advantage is gone. You can also buy gold in their cash shop which you can convert to in game silver to buy stuff from players, but again, you can make money by playing - it's just slower. The good news is that gear isn't like it is in gear grinding games like WoW - your cheap weapon might do 8-10 damage and have a couple effects and their super fancy weapon my do 10-13 damage and have a couple more effects on it. The gap isn't that large.
Crafting is great, no man stands alone in this game, you need other people to advance your profession. One of the most confusing things is when you learn everything the trainer had and you're like . . . so what now? Well, now you find people in the community to help you advance. Everyone is needed and the best stuff comes from crafting.
A note about flying skills - you only get one base skill which is the double jump in the early quest line. After that you have to get drops or buy them from other players. So don't expect you'll be jetting around in the first five minutes.
Be prepared to put in the time with this game, regardless of if you are spending cash on it or not, it's a heavy time investment, big world with lots of nitty gritty little details to learn.

AOW is an interesting game. I like the complicated and deep systems in it. So far I am enjoying it but havent played that much either.
I started trying the CB2 on NA servers but the time restriction is aweful so I downloaded the russian version and changed the files to have it in english.
If you are interested there is a guide that explains how to do this on Age of Wullin forums (European).
Russian version is now in OB and has no time restrictions so is a perfect option to try the game more freely and giving chance to the NA version to settle down. I was about to buy the deluxe edition but frankly Ill rather wait for OB or even release in NA and see how Snail games handle all the issues. For now I can get my fix on russian server.

I just came across this game almost by random. I sorta remember seeing a few references to it here on MMORPG but i kinda ignored those. From what I have seen of youtube and the few reviews that I have read this is a great title to look out for. Waiting on my download now... It seems genuinely fresh and full of excellent features (EVE type mechanics on a fantasy rpg!!!!) and I am totally waiting to sink my teeth into it!! I can only hope it can be THE game for me in 2013!
As a side note I have to point out a few general thoughts:
1)This game is still in BETA so one might expect improvements (graphics or otherwise) on launch... which is great cause so far it looks awesome!
2)Saying its P2W I dont agree with in principle. As someone who has on numerous occasions tried EVE I can see the parallels being drawn (I have always wished to see this type of EVE mechanics spread to non spaceship, more typical RPG games). At the end of the day my personal opinion is that if the game is good I will pay a subscription with no doubt rather than f2p it! In the F2P model I consider playing nothing more than an extended trial, which to me makes sense (the sense of entitlement some people get while discussing F2P games is kinda odd) .
3) Sandboxy! Anyone reading posts on these forums will know that this is a bit of a hot issue at the moment, but personally I am all for it (Archeage is a long way away and this doesnt seem that much weaker in that sense), and look forward to trying these features out in this game. The crafting sounds good! As a non-crafter i might actually give this a shot! Also the OPVP seems to have sensible mechanics built in like tags for persistent PKers/in game law enforcement/bounties (read any sandbox thread on this for forum to see all those things mentioned). IMHO its great that if someone griefs me continuosly I can get my credit card out and make their world a living hell. Still have to see how this works out in game =)
4) No trinity! Awesome! No more tanking/healing/dps balancing sounds like a great thing to me! Screw tanking and healing.
5) More complicated than normal to start with - I think this is great as it implies a depth to the game mechanics and serves as barrier to entry to the that type of gamer who I personally wont miss (EVE learning curve hraphs are appropriate here).
6)Renting - Not so hot on this... I still kinda like to own what I buy... if its a skin, I want to keep it, if its a bag, I still want to own it since I payed for it. Hopefully this is manageable.
7)Localization - As a russky player I do not play any localized Russian games cause generally the localization is shit (the translation just doesnt work + i am totally crap at typing in russian), and I ve heard little to inspire my confidence in Gpotatoe... I only hope that server lag wont be a problem for me playing US.
Overall I am very excited to have found this, and look forward to emersing myself during the New Years holidays ( 8 days =))

Paying just to play the beta is just pure greed. Giving rare mounts/boosts for paying is fair, but limiting the hours for people to play your beta is bull poop...
I rather just play the chinese server http://9yin.woniu.com/web3/home/index.asp until the english version is released.

I personaly rather have a complex and large open world with tons of features to get use to, than have my hand held and hae the "story" end. Just keep at it, read a lot, and ask questions. Im downloading now just because of this :) Was going to pass until i started reading some of the comments here on the forums. I love these style of games, using your brain is always a plus :)

Some of its true, the cash shops items (which are all vanity items or mounts) are temporary.
Some player crafted items have a timer as well, like tailor made bags...I am actually in favor of this as it keeps people shopping at tailors. Some people seem to confuse the two however, the tailor made bags being temporary is not a symptom of pay 2 win, nor is the assasins creed looking outfit in the cash shop that does nothing but looks a certain way.
Mounts could be considered a problem, but you can buy them in game (also with a timer) and this game has a unique "flying wushu jump" system which has you spending more time in the air or on the roof than plodding around on your horse. I use my horse for long distance travel but in most events I am on foot, the one exception I can think about is robbing the royal guard or beggars sects as they have big open schools that allow for mounts.

Renting items does not make it ptw, so stop spreading this false information. Currently you can't buy anything op in the cs, only cosmetic and convenience items.
As for renting: other player-driven games have full loot to keep the economy working, AoW has timers on items instead. If everything was permament, there would be no economy since you can't loose your stuff in this game. I'd prefered a full loot system à la EVE instead, but that will not happen and this system works just fine.

By Hannah J. Goldman
At age seven, Grant Lewis strapped on some skates, picked up a stick, and was immediately hooked on hockey. But for this defenseman, the "typical" journey to the pro ranks ended there.
Lewis grew up in a suburb of Pittsburgh and played a multitude of sports as a kid, including baseball, football, lacrosse, basketball and hockey. When he started high school, he turned his attention to the ice. However, at the age where other kids with the same dream were deciding between juniors or Division I hockey, Lewis found himself on the outside looking in.
When it was time to apply to colleges, the young blueliner was actually thinking of playing club hockey at Penn State University. But the tides turned his senior year of high school when he earned the opportunity to play for the Pittsburgh Forge of the North American Hockey League. All of a sudden, Dartmouth College came recruiting.
"Senior year, I tried out for the junior team, the Pittsburgh Forge, but I got cut," Lewis said. "I continued to play for the Pittsburgh Hornets, a Midget Triple A team, but at that point, I was actually looking to go to Penn State and play club. Division I hockey wasn't an option for me. Fortunately, about a month into the season, two players left the Forge and I got called up, had a great year, and ended up winning the national championship. Dartmouth started recruiting me, and once they did, Cornell jumped on the bandwagon, too."
Once the blueliner realized an Ivy League education was a possibility, his parents really pushed for it. After one trip to Dartmouth, Lewis needed no more persuasion.
"I went and visited the school on my official visit and I just fell in love with it – the people there, the organization, and the school itself," Lewis said. "I went there and it already felt like home. It set me up for the best four years of my life."
The Pittsburgh native was excited to begin the next phase of his life at Dartmouth, despite the fact that Hanover, New Hampshire, is a three-hour drive from any major metropolitan area.
"Dartmouth was fun," Lewis said. "It is a small school, so you get to know a lot of people. There isn't really any way to get away from Hanover, unless you make the trip to Boston or Montreal, so I spent a lot of time with my teammates. You had to make your own fun, but we had a lot of it. It was a homey college, and I loved it."
Lewis refutes the assertion that he had it easy as an athlete when it came to academics at the prestigious school.
"School came first at Dartmouth, for sure," said the psychology major. "Some teachers were a little more giving than others, but some actually held it against you that you were a hockey player. It was hard, but it was the right fit for me and I knew it was the right choice."
If Lewis was having any trouble adjusting to the rigorous academics, he showed no signs of it on the ice. He had a standout rookie campaign, earning first team All-ECAC and All-Ivy League honors, and was named to the ECAC and Inside College Hockey rookie teams.
"I kind of live my life day-by-day, and I never knew what the next year would bring," Lewis said. "But Dartmouth gave me an opportunity and I like to think that I ran with it."
Lewis' play at Dartmouth earned him a look from National Hockey League scouts and before he knew it, the Atlanta Thrashers selected him with their second choice, 40th overall, in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft.
One round later, they added Lewis' current Wolves teammate Scott Lehman to the organization. The two blueliners met at the draft and bonded immediately. A couple of years later, Lewis and Lehman roomed together during prospect camp and became great friends. Lehman, a Toronto native who started playing junior hockey at 16, was not sure what to expect from the American Ivy Leaguer.
"I didn't really know what to make of him when I first met him," Lehman admitted. "He was this Ivy, preppy hippy. But we roomed together the following summer and have been friends ever since. It works because we share the same attitude toward hockey. Since that camp, we have visited each other every summer, go on yearly trips, and have been roommates here in Chicago for the past two years."
Armed with a college degree and an NHL contract, Lewis embarked on his next challenge: entering the pro ranks. While his college classmates applied for jobs, Lewis was vying for consistent playing time in the American Hockey League.
"After senior year, I signed with Atlanta and I wasn't sure what life would bring me," Lewis said. "I ended up in Chicago and was in and out of the lineup for the first half of the season."
The second half of the season went more smoothly for Lewis – and very smoothly for his team, which captured the Calder Cup that spring.
"I was able to work my way in, though, and I played a lot more toward the end of the season and in our run to the Calder Cup championship," he said. "My first year out of college, hockey really couldn't have gotten much better for me."
The hard work continued to pay off for the 24-year-old, who made his NHL debut with Atlanta on March 3, 2009. Just a few games later though, back with Chicago, things came to a screeching halt when he suffered a season-ending injury to his knee.
"The knee injury was a very tough injury," Lewis recalled. "I was off the ice for about four months and that hadn't happened since I started playing hockey. It was definitely frustrating." The injury was hard on his best buddy, too.
"Even though we are both defensemen, we wish each other to do well," Lehman said. "When he got called up, I was really excited for him. Then the injury happened and it was depressing to see him hurting. He worked really hard this summer to rehab the knee. Some people would have given up and he didn't. He really showed his true colors."
Now a third year pro, it is hard to believe that just seven years ago, Lewis' dream of playing professional hockey was almost fleeting. But like Lewis says, you never know what next year may bring. It is possible that your dream is right around the corner, even if the path to get there isn't what you expect.

Webley Tomahawk II Quattro Air Rifle

Average Customer Review4.5 (5 reviews)
Create an online reviewand share your thoughts with other customers
Things I liked:This is a top quality gun at a more reasonable cost than most similar rifles. One of the few (if not the only) air rifles that are factory supplied with a walnut stock, and what gorgeous walnut it is too! It's also straight and cut from good dense heartwood, making the furniture worthy of a fine match firearm. Excellent rich and high polished blueing too, but WHAT a great shooter it is!! Fine trigger and finely accurate rifle worhty of any collection of fine arms, even where money is no impediment to quality. Chron's an honest 980 fps firing 7.0 grain hollowpoints. Love it!
Things I would have changed:I have a personal dislike of muzzle brakes as cocking handles on airguns. They could leave it off and improve the looks of the gun, IMO.
Things I liked:TRIGGER!!TRIGGER!! I wanted an air rifle that has the feel and trigger quailities of my hunting rifles fitted with quality after market triggers. I got what I wanted .Havn't had the chance to break it in but I have a few rounds thru the bore.Most Internet search results gave high marks to the factory made trigger and i concur
Things I would have changed:Not sure yet..still in the honeymoon stage with this baby but the auto safety did tend to slip my mind but as most shooters know thats an excellent way to check your shooting form for jerks and twitches...I have no issues with the safety and one thing for sure it is as safe as the shooter
What others should know:For some reason a well reputted springer tuner informed me that he could/would tune English Model Tomahawks but not the Turkish version.. So I was skeptical if the inner mechinisms were different. I was assured it is the same rifle but with less hand made refinements..You will need base or rings with scope stop and torx screws would be a plus..I couldn't get my scope rings to stay still and ended up stripping a screw trying to bare down...the rings were 11mm rim fire but i hoped they could handle a few rounds until my scope mounting accessories arrived.. They couldn't...
Things I liked:Great rifle! I own the .22 version. It has plenty of power for hunting and is a lot of fun to plink with as well. After I zeroed it, I was shooting flies that landed on the target. I thought there was no way I was hitting them until I examined my target and found fly "splatter" on the edges of my pellet holes!
Things I would have changed:The trigger is a bit "funky" but isn't bad and is greatly improved by adding a trigger shoe.
What others should know:My rifle was made in 2005 just before Webley moved production to Turkey. I bought it on the advice of the owner of Pyramid Air and he was right--great rifle!

Friday, April 18, 2014
The Berkeley County School Board issued a proclamation Tuesday of last week urging state and local funding for continued improvement a worrisome intersection near schools in Sangaree.
During the regular board meeting April 8, the board voted 5-0, with one seat vacant and two members absent, to approve a motion drafted by Superintendent Rodney Thompson.
The proclamation noted the district working with S.C. Department of Transportation and recent improvements to improve safety and traffic flow.
The districts proclamation added that the primary and major remaining traffic and pedestrian safety concerns at Sangaree Schools arise from congestion at the intersection of Royle Road and Sangaree Parkway.
The proclamation urges DOT to identify and prioritize funds for intersection improvement, and urges the county and local council of governments to aid in financing improvements.
Safety concerns over congestion and speeding drivers at the intersection of Royle Road and Sangaree Parkway have been a decades-long problem for Sangaree school children.
Nearby resident Kathi Regalbuto has become a vocal advocate for safety improvements. Her son attended Sangaree Elementary 25 years ago, and she said the problem goes back at least that far.
This has been going on now for a long time, Regalbuto said. The crossing guard even then was having a hard time.
Regalbuto said she would support a traffic light at the intersection.
A concerned Sangaree resident posted this video of a March 31 meeting addressing the problem. Click here to see it.
Residents passed around a petition also urging for a traffic light in the area during that meeting.
Recently, a crossing guard at the intersection quit, leaving an unfilled position to help with children crossing the road. According to district spokeswoman Susan Haire, the position is still vacant.
In 2012, Sangaree Intermediate and Elementary School crossing guard Natalie Boles was struck by a pickup truck.

Boston, MA (Sports Network) - James Shields pitched into the ninth inning and Evan Longoria drove in the lone run of the contest as Tampa Bay nipped Boston, 1-0, in the finale of a four-game series from Fenway Park.
Shields (2-0) let up four hits and a pair of walks while striking out five in 8 1/3 innings for the Rays, who avoided a sweep. Fernando Rodney picked up his fourth save of the year by recording the last two outs.
Cody Ross collected two hits for the Red Sox. Daniel Bard (0-2) was the hard- luck loser, charged with four hits and one run over 6 2/3 frames. The converted reliever fanned seven but also issued seven walks.
The visitors snapped the scoreless deadlock in the seventh.
Sean Rodriguez worked a two-out walk, then Desmond Jennings singled and Carlos Pena drew a base on balls. Bard then forced in a run by walking Longoria, but Justin Thomas came on to induce a fly out from Luke Scott.
Shields stranded one in the seventh then retired the side in order in the eighth.
Tampa put runners on the corners with two down against Matt Albers in the ninth, but Longoria grounded out to end the threat.
Dustin Pedroia worked a one-out walk in the ninth and Shields gave way to Rodney. Adrian Gonzalez grounded out to move the runner up, then David Ortiz was given a free pass. But Ross was caught looking at a called third strike that was clearly outside.
The Rays had two on and one out in the fourth, but Jeff Keppinger hit into an inning-ending double play. Longoria then fanned with two on and two out in the fifth.
The Sox stranded a runner at third in the second.
Shields hadn't turned in a scoreless outing since going eight innings during a 4-1 win over Texas on August 31...The Red Sox fell to 67-50 all-time on Patriots' Day, and 0-3 against the Rays...Tampa heads to Toronto and Boston remains home to host Texas on Tuesday...Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts governor (2003-07) Mitt Romney was in attendance.

AT&T 3G Plans: No Revenue Share, No GoPhone, Activate In Store ONLY, Costs More ?!
Sorry to rain on the iPhone 3G parade but it has to be done. Here's some not so great news about the iPhone 3G. The iPhone 3G data plan is going to cost $30 per month. That's $10 more than the current iPhone plan. On top of that, current iPhone owners will have to sign a NEW 2-year contract to use the iPhone 3G. Meaning, buying an iPhone 3G won't be a seamless upgrade in the traditional sense. Granted, AT&T won't count the remaining years on your current iPhone contract to the new iPhone 3G contract, the fact that you have to sign a new contract plus the added cost per month just doesn't sit right with me.
Look at it this way, the iPhone 3G costs $199. Hip hip hooray right? Not quite. We have to add the cost of the added monthly fees. First we multiply the 10 dollars more a month by 24 months (the life of a 2 year contract) which equates to $240 dollars more to use the iPhone 3G's data plan versus the original data plan. Now for the simple math, $199 (cost of the iPhone 3G) + $240 (cost of 3G data vs EDGE data over 2 years) = $439 over the lifetime of the contract. That's actually a $40 dollar increase from the current iPhone, not quite the 'half price' that we're being marketed to believe.
Also, it looks like AT&T will discontinue their pre-paid, GoPhone option meaning there is no alternative than being tied into a 2 year voice+3G data contract under AT&T. At least before, some users could choose to use the iPhone as a pseudo-data only device.
Perhaps its because the old revenue sharing model of the original iPhone is no longer in effect, but it looks like AT&T has taken back control of data plans and is positioning the iPhone 3G to increase subscribers and broaden market potential. The carrier subsidy is theoretically included in the $199 price, essentially AT&T is giving Apple the money upfront instead of through a month-to-month revenue sharing plan. Do we as consumers win out? Depends what your perspective is. The iPhone 3G is still a great phone and a steal, but AT&T & Apple are obviously not in the same relationship they were in just one year ago.
So when the iPhone 4G comes is AT&T going to raise our data prices to $40? Will it stop? What do you guys think of this? Does it change your perspective on the price of the iPhone 3G?
UPDATE: Gizmodo is also reporting that the iPhone 3G can only be activated in store via a 10-12 minute process. Also, a fine might be levied to those who don't activate the iPhone 3G within 30 days. It seems like the iPhone no longer carries that unique badge of being separate from the rest of the other phones in AT&T's lineup anymore..

AT&T 3G Plans: No Revenue Share, No GoPhone, Activate In Store ONLY, Costs More ?!
Have a Treo 650 and pay $40 per month for my data plan without any text. It may have gone up for current iPhone users yet it'll be a drop for me. Can't wait for July 11th!
Now that the prices are coming down and enterprise solution, should be interesting to see how many people trade their Treo, Blackberry, Nokia for the iPhone.
iPhonoclast: one who thinks differently and happily avoids poor user experiences by using an iPhone! :D
Well, for me this is kind of a mixed bag. The lack of background application support will limit usefulness of things like telnet, ssh, vpn, or similar applications from third parties. Even if you don't run them all the time, having the ability to bounce into an email or a web page while you're doing something else is actually pretty important for a number of us.
I guess I'll have to see what these offline notifications are really like. It sounds promising, but having no apps to show that use it while boring the crowd with a rehash of the SDK launch doesn't inspire confidence, even if it is worthy of it.
As for whether I will entertain dropping my Treo 680 for this... I am still not convinced on-screek keyboard is great. I must see real development in the application space, certainly enough to be able to measure the usefulness of those applications for my purposes.
This release did nothing to increase the usability of basic integrated email and PIM for my needs. Exchange integration is great, but not useful as a feature if you don't use it. Calendar still doesn't come close to what I can do with the built-in Treo calendar, to say nothing of what third party apps are capable of.
So, I'm not rushing to my Apple store on 7/11. Instead, I'm going to upgrade iTunes and keep an eye on the app store and on the blogs and forums. I want to see what this device and it's new OS can really do before I ditch what is still a very useful device for me (Treo 680), even if it's OS is woefully and painfully out of date.
[quote] Calendar still doesn't come close to what I can do with the built-in Treo calendar, to say nothing of what third party apps are capable of.[/quote]
Funny that you should mention both calendar and 3rd party apps in one sentence. WebIS, maker of Pocket Informant (one of the most complete PIM apps for any smartphone platform), is getting PI ready for the iPhone.
The blackberry bold is looking better and better now...
The BlackBerry Bold data plan will be $30 a month as well, and will require the same in-store activation if you aren't a current customer.
The data plan thing is one of the things that bothers me the least from todays happenings. I have been paying $30 a month for a BlackBerry plan for a long time, so it is nothing but a lateral change for me.
What's next? The big AT&T Death Star logo on the back?
So, there's no more revenue sharing, and now Apple is selling the iPhone below cost. How do they expect to make money, from the App Store?
Actually its $160 extra.
$40 for data and $5*24 = 120 for 500 text messages per month. The $40 data plan doesn't include text anymore.
@Tom, it just seems to be a bummer that At&t is getting more and more control it seems.
Interesting info, it seems like there are a lot of loopholes. I posted about the iphone today as well:
@Bad Ash
I agree 100%...
HUGELY disappointed at the data plan price increase. AT&T's setting a terrible precedent here. All the other networks now have carte blanche to raise data plan prices when they eventually switch over to 3G as well. While from a capitalist perspective, it makes perfect sense to charge more for a better network, the move just reeks of greed and screws the consumer. Sure, $30/month is still relatively cheap in terms of smartphone data plans, but Apple did a great turn by lowering the floor for data plan rates to $20/month. It gave the consumer the option of taking full advantage of the growing mobile technology field and also made up for the originally exorbitant cost of the iPhone. So what was so wrong with affordable data plans? Why raise the price and give consumers an incentive to not switch to a 3G network? Isn't the goal to phase out the old 2G network and get everyone moved over to the better one? So why charge a luxury tax for it?
An improved network opens up the field for manufacturers to design better and more advanced phones and generally improve the mobile technology industry. Improved networks is the inevitable direction we're headed, so are we going to be forced to eat a price increase each time we make a natural step in technological progression? The only silver lining is that hopefully other companies will follow Apple's example and cut the prices of the hardware, and consumers will see a price break there to make up for the marked up 3G network costs.
So when the iPhone 4G comes is AT&T going to raise our data prices to $40? Will it stop? What do you guys think of this? Does it change your perspective on the price of the iPhone 3G?
Yes, what do you expect?
Brand New phone, new faster data network for nothing extra? You serious? What did you think?
I'd actually prefer to pay $399 up front and get it from the Apple store and keep the $20/mo data plan. What's gonna suck for people who spring for iPhone 3G is not being able to upgrade for a full 2 years (not at the subsidized price anyway). So if I buy the 3G for $199 now and I decide I want next summer's iPhone too, then I will have to pay the full un-subsidized price ($399? $449? $499?).
Since I already have a 16GB iPhone v1, I might want to stick with it for a while and enjoy the new software and upgrade next time when there might be more significant hardware changes.
Ok,the whole "make me sign a new contract when I wasn't getting a subsidy" didn't sit right me with the first time around and it really doesn't sit well with me now. Now I have to commit to ANOTHER 2 years when I am paying "full" price for the phone?????
I just came from the at&t store, they told me that the data price was 45 dollars. I told them that I heard that it was 30 bucks for consumers, and 45 for businesses. Then I showed them the text page from gizmodo that I printed out before i went there. Then they said that they don't know what the price is until July 11th. So the at&t store is saying that the 450 minute plan is 39.95 + 45 for internet. Thats $84.95 + taxes.. etc. I hope that the 45 is incorrect. 45 is too much for 1.4Mbps.
Can i add this to the family plan and not have to pay the voice plan to just the data plus the 9.99 to be with the whole family?
Do you have to have the 3g? Can you just pay the voice thing?
That'd be great
@ Ryan [the move just reeks of greed and screws the consumer]Not Att&t! LOL
I think people are getting excited for nothing its basically the same damn phone. I have no problem using the edge with wifi here and there. I thought the new iphone would be like 5 meg pix cam and video and a bunch of other cool shit they didnt do. I would have been happy them leave it at the same price and slam the thing with upgrades. The apps I saw on the keynote blew anyways. EBAY! screw EBAY! 25000 submitted only 4000 accepted, Hmmm was there backroom handjobs to get on the apps store?
I went from 8 g to 16g for the added space While waiting with great anticipation for their next phone. I thought for sure they would've gotten smart & added MSM & upgraded the calendar at least. But NO! So I guess I'll just Keep waiting unless I find a better phone before then. And this business of continually increasing my contract is BOGUS! Keep it up fellas & you're gonna loose a 12 year customer! But like they care-right?
What a jip.
Im wondering the price for international markets (Asia). as without the AT&T thing...guess it'll be a phone-only package huh?.. any news bout it yet?
i wanted to get a iphone 3g but this shocking blog has made me realize that i dont need the iphone ill just get the 16g ipod touch no payments:)
I am a iphone junkie... And the only solution for my fix is a faster better stronger "white" iphone. Who cares if I need it or what the cost is. It's keeping up with the jones's!!!

Of course it is, did anyone really think the cheaper phone wouldn't come with a catch..cheaper phone+more expensive plan = more expensive phone + cheaper phone...That's why they got bean counters.
thats bs, thats at&t always tries to fuck apple and yet they always stay, like when apple thought it was a good idea to let at&t have itunes on their phones then found out at&t was charging wireless users for buying ringtones and for downloading music when they thought people would be able to used their downloaded songs as ringtones, now this. i really wanted an iPhone but i guess im shit outta luck <3 <3 <3
I got around this with my Iphone. Buy 2 of the same gophones. Go online to activate at ATT. Activate the sims card from the 1st using the 2nd phones EMIE. This way the card won't be locked or "married" to the phone that it was package with. [ I bought the 1st phone authorized it the card, using the its EMIE turned it on, took out the card and it didn't work in the Iphone only in the gophone. Found out that it was married to the phone, essentially the sims was locked for 180 days or something stupid. So I purchased a second one. ] With the second I first tried to authorize it with my Iphone EMIE but it didn't work (it said call error occurred call customer service…lol ..screw that), and so tried it using the EMIE from the 1st gophone that I had already activated ( ie…the one it wasn't package with, I figured they're both the same brand, model , why would ATT care about that) The authorization went through, so I popped the sims card out of the plastic credit card looking thing and straight into the Iphone (note … it never touched the gophone, its first use of service was the Iphone)...bam… 4 bars ATT logo and a 3G. I found out I lost the "15 start up minutes" that came with the phone because I didn't use the original packaged phone to authorized (If you read the fine print, its in there and says when activated the sims won't function on antoher phone for a period of time…screw that…), so I put 30.00 in the account, got the data plan (19.99) and the 1 a day 0.10 minute plan...works great...
I've been keeping an eye on my data plan.. I noticed my bill data is 500000kb a month and this is what you want to keep an eye on even though my phone says I move close to 85 to 95 mg….I'm in WIFI a lot because of home and University settings but I knew I was drastically under there fake unlimited plan ( which is really 5 gb).
I'd say just buy one from the store and copy the EMIE from another package because there next to the sku number, but when I purchased mine at check out is, its was electronically registered or something (something like authorizing, or activating came up on the register, even the Target employee commented that it scanned they scan differently)
Thanks for the very interestig article!. I have not had cable in our apartment for 7 months now, and I am so happy! Thanks again! I always do look ahead for your new threads!! happy Holidays!!
i have i phone 3g 16g v3.3.3 locked i want to unlock this phone in all network ....in egypt can you help me

Dorchester County participated in an annual hurricane exercise Wednesday coordinated by the S.C. Emergency Management Division.
Staffers gathered in County Council chambers in St. George, the county's alternate emergency operations center.
Its primary emergency operations center is just outside Summerville. This was the first time practicing in the alternate center, said Mario Formisano, director of Dorchester County Emergency Management.
Formisano said the various departments were running through how they would prepare for an incoming hurricane.
Public Works, for example, would coordinate the pre-positioning of debris pick-up contractors, the water and sewer department would check all pump stations and law enforcement would monitor the progress of the evacuation.
Dorchester County has four evacuation zones, Formisano said.
He said people should pay attention to evacuation orders and obey them.
Some property owners think they're on high ground and want to stay put – and they might be right about their own property, but could find themselves isolated by flooding, Formisano said.
Inland flooding is a concern for many areas of Dorchester County, he said, and it doesn't necessarily correlate with the hurricane category level.
"We can't get caught up in 'It's only a tropical storm or it's only a category one,'" he said.
The storm surge models don't account for local conditions on the ground, he said, like a wet spring that's left the ground saturated or a storm that just sits and dumps rain on the area.
Those conditions could lead to "significant inland flooding," he said, and "the water might not recede like you think it will."
Formisano recommended people prepare hurricane kits so their families can survive for 72 hours on their own, have a family plan for what to do, stay informed, and get involved in county preparations, such as by training to be part of a Community Emergency Response Team.
The county emergency management department is co-hosting a hurricane preparation expo 9 a.m. to noon July 27 at the Lowe's on Dorchester Road.
To check your evacuation zone, go to http://www.dorchestercounty.net/index.aspx?page=213 .

HILTON HEAD ISLAND — For all the big moments in Graeme McDowell's career, his resume was short on PGA Tour victories.
McDowell relished what he called his first authentic tour win, defeating fellow U.S. Open champ Webb Simpson in a playoff at the RBC Heritage on a windy Sunday.
McDowell's been at the center of some of golf's biggest moments, from his rousing triumph at Pebble Beach in 2010 to capturing the winning point for Europe in that year's Ryder Cup matches. He has six European PGA victories, too, but he hadn't triumphed in the weekly grind of the world's top tour.
"This game kicks you more often than it gives you a pat on the back," McDowell said. "It's hard to win."
Not on this day for McDowell, who pushed forward on wind-blown Harbour Golf Links when his rivals were moving backward, unnerved by the 20 to 30 mph winds that rattled the course.
He rallied from four strokes down when the day began to take a one-shot lead into the 72nd hole. Then after he made his only bogey of the round to fall into tie with Simpson, two-putted from about 15 feet to make a par on the extra hole that Simpson couldn't match.
"I guess the weather was what the doctor ordered. I needed that to get close to the leaders," said McDowell, who earned $1,044,000 for the victory.
McDowell, from Northern Ireland, had a 69, one of only three scores in the 60s among the 70 who teed off Sunday.
Simpson, the reigning U.S. Open winner, shot 71. He had a chance to win in regulation, but his 22-footer for birdie went 3 feet past and set up the additional hole. "I came in with not too much confidence, but I just stayed true to the process of what we've been working on," Simpson said.
Luke Donald shot a 69 to tie for third with Kevin Streelman, who had a 72. Jerry Kelly rounded out the top five after his even-par 71.
Charley Hoffman, the 54-hole leader, ballooned to a 77 and fell into a tie for sixth with Russell Henley (69) and Chris Stroud (70).
McDowell patted Simpson on the back after the playoff miss and smiled widely as the boats in Calibogue Sound tooted their horns and whistles. Neither McDowell nor Simpson made the cut a week ago at the Masters, yet bounced back in a big way at Harbour Town.
McDowell acknowledged he was frustrated and disappointed after missing the weekend at Augusta National by a shot. If he had made the cut, McDowell wondered if he'd have had the motivation to break through at Harbour Town. "It's funny the way things happen," he said. "I wouldn't swap this for a top 10 last week."
The course showed its teeth, winds arcing flagsticks and blowing debris on every hole. Donald backed off his putt on No. 7 when a large leaf tumbled through his line. Crews watered several greens between groups simply to keep balls holding instead of skipping off the wind-swept sod.
Blowers were heard throughout the day, trying to push off leaves, twigs and other tree parts falling everywhere on the course. The National Weather Service issued a wind advisory for the area, warning of gusts up to 45 mph.
"Extremely difficult," Donald said of conditions. "Strongest wind I've played in all year."
Few managed the wind better than McDowell, who lurked behind most of the round until striking on the back nine. He made a 28-foot birdie putt on No. 11 to move into a three-way tie for first with Simpson and Hoffman.
McDowell broke the tie on the 16th hole, landing his approach within 8 feet and making the birdie putt. He saved par from the back of the green on the 17th hole, but couldn't do it a second time on the closing lighthouse hole at No. 18 for his first bogey in 32 holes to fall back into a tie with Simpson.
Simpson's chase appeared over when he made three bogeys in a six-hole stretch to fall two shots behind. He steadied himself with a birdie on No. 12 and parred his way to the finish to reach the playoff.
Donald, who's got two seconds and a third in his past four appearances at Harbour Town, got an early charge going before Hoffman and Simpson hit the course with four birides on his first six holes to draw within two of the lead.
Donald, ranked No. 6 in the world, couldn't keep the surge going, though. He had birdie chances on the final three holes of the front nine, but came up empty. Bogeys on the 13th and 15th holes ended Donald's run. Still, it was the fourth top-five finish in the last five trips to the RBC Heritage for Donald.
Brandt Snedeker went from last off at Augusta National to first off at Harbour Town. Ranked No. 5 in the world, Snedeker's week ended early Sunday as his was the first group off the tee for the final round. He shot a 74 and did not break par at Harbour Town. Snedeker was tied for the lead last Sunday and in the final group at the Masters. ... Defending champion Carl Pettersson drifted down the leaderboard since an opening-round 68. He finished tied for 40th at 1-over par. ... Former RBC Heritage champ Jim Furyk went from a 66 Saturday to a closing 78.

The Kardashians
Do Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick Still Have Sex?
Things in Miami were going so well for Scott Disick: he impressed girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian with his responsible behavior, he made a new best friend, and he finally got to live out his race car driver dreams. But something is still frustrating Lord Disick: His sex life.
Or, should we say, no sex life.
"We used to have sex all the time," said sadface Scott on the latest episode of Kourtney and Kim Take Miami. Scott and Kourtney's second child Penelope was born last July, and apparently things haven't bounced back in the bedroom.
After Kourtney shoots down Scott's request to go make out with him in a dressing room, Khloe agrees to go hang out with him, because they're pals and because Kourtney really has been a bit of an all-around bummer so far this season.
Khloe wasn't sure if it was because Scott is desperate for attention or what, but things got a little weird when these two were out shopping for what we can only assume are very expensive t-shirts. Not only did he compare his sex life with Kourtney to Khloe's with husband Lamar Odom, he accidentally (we hope) brushed her boob with his hand.
"Scott doesn't think there's boundaries between me and him," Khloe explained, and things only went downhill from there. First they went out for ice cream and he made gross jokes about Khloe being a "very sexual eater," then he got drunk and touchy-feely when they were all out one night!
Khloe finally got pissed and brought it up at dinner, where Kourtney didn't seem to care but Scott was sheepish. "I didn't mean it offensively, and now I feel bad about it," he said, which is good because Khloe laid down the law: "You've got to curb your enthusiasm because Lamar might assassinate you."
You heard the lady, Scott! Let's only get hands-y with our own girlfriend from now on.

George Thorogood brings blues and rock to MotorCity Casino HotelWritten by Alan Sculley | | firstname.lastname@example.com
George Thorogood's new CD, "2120 South Michigan Ave.," is the veteran blues rocker's tribute to the early rock and roll artists who recorded for the legendary Chess Records label in the 1950s and '60s.
It's a logical album for Thorogood to do, considering his amped-up brand of blues is strongly influenced by classic Chicago blues.
"If you look back at our catalog, scattered here and there, there's over 20 cuts from Chess to begin with," Thorogood said in a recent phone interview.
But he wasn't the one who had the idea. It was his label, Capitol Records. In fact, Thorogood said his immediate reaction to the idea was to be a bit puzzled.
"I said, 'Why did you come to me?'" Thorogood recalled.
That answer prompted some eye-rolling from the folks at Capitol, who couldn't believe an idea so obvious hadn't quite registered with Thorogood. Of course, Thorogood quickly made sense of the idea.
"I started thinking, well, if you want to make a Western, you go get John Wayne, right? If you want to do Hamlet, you go ask Orson Welles?" Thorogood said. "That's why they looked at me, 'Who are you kidding? This is what you've been doing your whole life. You're the man for the job.'"
Indeed, the idea behind "2120 South Michigan Ave." (the Chicago address of Chess Records) was right in Thorogood's wheelhouse — and not just because of his affinity for Chicago blues.
Thorogood, who will play at MotorCity Casino Hotel in Detroit on July 29, has made it a career-long mission to record overlooked songs by blues and early rock 'n' roll artists. Look at the credits on any of the 14 albums he has recorded since 1977 and you'll see plenty of outside material mixed in with Thorogood originals.
In fact, his 1977 self-titled debut CD includes "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer," which became a signature song for Thorogood, even though it was originally written and recorded by blues great John Lee Hooker.
In 1978, another cover — this time a rocking version of country icon Hank Williams' "Move It On Over" — became the hit single that set the stage for Thorogood's breakthrough into the mainstream.
That came with the title song of his 1982 CD, "Bad To The Bone," which Thorogood wrote. But even that album featured covers of tunes by the likes of Jimmy Reed, Hooker, Nick Gravenites and one of his go-to sources, Chuck Berry.
Berry, of course, was one of Chess Records' most important and popular artists. And yes, he's represented on "2120 South Michigan Ave." with a hard-hitting version of "Let It Rock."
That song wasn't necessarily Thorogood's first choice, he said.
"Capitol was adamant about it," Thorogood said. "They said, 'You're going to do a better version.' They were really encouraging. And Tommy Hambridge was just over the top, the producer. He didn't want to hear me say anything about someone's already done it or did it better. His idea was 'Look, this is the World Series. You're batting cleanup and you're better than any player in the league. Get in there and hit.' It's nice to have a producer like that."
Thorogood, for the most part, followed his pattern of choosing less-than-obvious songs to cover. He does a kicking version of Buddy Guy's "High Heel Sneakers" (featuring contributions on guitar from Guy himself), gets down and dirty for a chugging take on Muddy Waters' "Two Trains Running," kicks into overdrive on J.B. Lenoir's "Mama Talk To Your Daughter" and gets a helping hand from harmonica ace Charlie Musselwhite in a dead-on version of Little Walter's "My Babe."
Two of the more famous covers come from a pair of other Chess stars who were cornerstone artists for Thorogood coming up in the early 1970s — Howlin' Wolf ("Spoonful") and Bo Diddley ("Bo Diddley").
"I dug the other ones (on Chess Records)," he said. "I listened to Muddy Waters a lot. I listened to Little Walter a lot … But it was Howlin' Wolf, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley that really fascinated me."
"And I'm not much of singer. When I broke in, the big thing was Robert Plant and Roger Daltrey and Rod Stewart," Thorogood said. "There was no way I could sing like that. There's no way anybody can sing like those three guys. John Fogerty was just coming out when I was picking up the guitar for the first time. I listened to their vocals and said, 'Oh my God, George, it's not going to happen for you.' But I started paying attention to Howlin' Wolf and Johnny Cash and Jerry Reed, and then Louis Armstrong, and I said, 'Look how far these guys have gone with their type of vocal.' So I really dug into Howlin' Wolf and Bo Diddley very heavy. I said look what John Lee Hooker and Bo Diddley can do with one chord. Look at what Wolf can do with his voice."
While Thorogood didn't live anywhere near Chicago, he at least met a few of his Chess Records heroes early on and got some much appreciated encouragement.
"We opened for Wolf," Thorogood said. "He was kind of on his last lap. He had lost a lot of weight. He had had a heart attack and had been in a bad car crash and he had to get on a dialysis machine every three days, the kidney machine they plug you into for World War II veterans. He was very nice when we did speak to him. But his band was very encouraging, and very enthusiastic about what we were doing. It was a great experience working with them."

Pentagon investigating top intelligence official
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Pentagon says its top intelligence official, who has been mentioned as a possible candidate to be the next CIA director, is under investigation in connection with information he provided to makers of a movie about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
Pentagon press secretary George Little said Tuesday evening that the investigation of Michael Vickers is being conducted by the Pentagon's inspector general.
Vickers is the undersecretary of defense for intelligence.
Little said Vickers only provided unclassified information to the makers of the movie "Zero Dark Thirty," and that the session was arranged in July 2011 by the Pentagon's office of public affairs.
Little said Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has full confidence in Vickers.

On Saturday, May 19, members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club held a bass tournament on Sardis Lake. Twenty anglers competed in the event. More anglers may have competed had it not been for the fact that strong winds were predicted for that day. Sardis Lake can become quite dangerous on windy days due to the large wave action. The wind was a factor to those who did compete as many were not able to go to and fish in some of their normal areas of the lake.
Dennis Willeford won the big fish and heavy stringing in the Saturday, May 12, 2012 Antlers Fire Department Annual Bass Tournament that was held on McGee Creek Lake from 6:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. The big fish weighed in at 6.75 lbs and the total weight of Willeford's winning stringer was 8.50 lbs. This event was held to raise money to go towards a loan payment for their ladder truck. The event raised over $1,200.00.
On Saturday, May 12, members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club teamed up with members from the McGee Creek Bass Club to host a free youth fishing tournament at McGee Creek Lake. The event was open to any youth that was sixteen years old and younger. Approximately twenty young anglers participated in the tournament. Several more were expected, but the wet, rainy conditions may have kept many of the kids from participating.
Last week both the Rattan Lady Rams and the Rattan Rams participated in State Baseball and Softball Tournaments, and both took home the prestigious title of State Champions.
The Lady Rams were named the Class 3A Slow-pitch Softball State Champs and Class 3A Academic Champs on Friday, May 4, 2012.
A parade of more than 70 vehicles, including lights and sirens, escorted them through Antlers on their way home to Rattan.
The Rams were named Class A Baseball State Champs and were awarded Class A Academic Achievement Certificates.
The Rams Recap: In the dugout after the sixth inning, Rattan's Jonathan Samuels came over to Blake Watts.
On Sunday, April 29, five of the Pushmataha County Junior Bassmasters traveled to Lake Eufaula to compete in the 2012 Oklahoma State Championship of the B.A.S.S. Junior Bassmasters. Competing in the 15-18 year old category were anglers: Jessie Shrader, David Atwood and Dillan Holiman. Representing the Push County club in the 11-14 year old group was Jake Nabors and Jordan Haddox.
On Saturday, May 5, members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club held a team bass tournament on Hugo Lake. Twenty-seven anglers competed in the tournament. The lake level was near normal and the weather was cooperating with clear to party cloudy skies, warm temperatures and breezy conditions. These conditions allowed a few anglers to put together some nice stringers of bass.
On Tuesday May 8, 2012, the students participating in the Special Olympics will travel to Stillwater to compete in the State Special Olympics games. Students will compete in track events such as the 50 meter dash, the 25 meter partner walk, the standing long jump, the softball throw and the turbo javelin . This group of students have raised money throughout the year by growing and selling plants, working concession stands, and with business and personal sponsors.
Members of the Pushmataha County 4-H recently competed in the S.E. District Shooting Sports Archery Contest in McAlester. Several of the members attending from Pushmataha County placed in the competition.
Members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club held the 41st Annual Big Bass Rodeo on April 21st and 22nd. The big bass tournament was held on Pine Creek Lake. Fifty-five boats with over one hundred anglers were entered in the event. Cash prizes and trophies were awarded to the top five finishers.

Keeping Church & State Separate
The Baptist Joint Committee is the only faith-based agency devoted solely to religious liberty and the institutional separation of church and state. Since 1936, the BJC has continuously provided reliable leadership on church-state issues as it leads key coalitions of religious and civil liberties groups striving to protect both the free exercise of religion and to defend against its establishment by government. A proven bridge-builder, the BJC works with a wide range of organizations. Read more
Why Religious Liberty?
Baptists value religious freedom and separation of church and state because we suffered the hard lessons of history. The Baptist commitment to religious liberty is centered on our freedom to worship without efforts by the government to advance or restrain religion. God has made us all free – free to say yes, free to say no, and free to make up our own minds about our spiritual destiny. The BJC believes that a threat to anyone's religious liberty is a threat to everyone's liberty. Read more
Why church-state separation?
The separation of church and state is a shorthand metaphor for expressing a deeper truth: religious liberty is best protected when church and state are institutionally separated and neither tries to perform or interfere with the mission and work of the other. It does not require a "segregation" of religion from public life, but it serves both religion clauses in the First Amendment, insisting upon no establishment of religion and ensuring the free exercise of religion.

PHOTO: Brandon Semenunk prepares for a run. He broke his collar bone at this year's Slopestyle comp.
Health, it seems, plays as much a part as talent and skill and luck these days in who wins slopestyle competitions and who rides—or is carried—away empty handed. Slopestyle courses continue to evolve, and most include massive features, more wooden stunts, more large drops and carry greater risks than ever. The Crankworx course was no different. The event, held each year at Whistler mountain in British Columbia, is the largest of its kind and is largely responsible for defining the sport of slopestyle riding. It is the biggest, most expensive and perhaps riskiest course on the planet. One hit, for instance, sent riders sailing 20 feet out, before landing 30 feet below the take off.
The stunts and jumps and features are built to showcase the talent and rapidly evolving skill of the riders. Everyone agrees on that. But the course-and events at large-also need to showcase the event, entertain the crowd, and please sponsors. The safety of riders is always high on the priority list, but in this age of go big or go home, it's not the only priority.
Some riders, including past winner Andreu Lacondeguy, took one look at the Crankworx course this year and decided to go home. He did not to compete.
During the competition three of the sport's best riders, Darren Berrecloth, Paul Basagoitia and Brandon Semenuk, crashed hard enough to knock them out of the event. Semenuk's spectacular crash came when he under-rotated a backflip on the final jump and it left him with a broken collarbone. Just two weeks ago, Cam McCaul broke his femur at the Colorado Crankworx slopestyle competition. All the crashes at Whistler Cranworx came in the early rounds, largely due to a format change that allowed a rider's best score from the first two rounds carry over into a Superfinal made up of the six top riders. No longer could riders play it safe and save their best-and riskiest moves-for the final as they did in year's past.

Morgan Hall is being renovated to become Washburn University's "front door."
Morgan Hall has served as both an academic and administrative hub since it opened in 1956. The multimillion dollar renovation will result in a 21st Century space all Ichabods -- past, current and future -- will be proud of. A new one-stop center will enable students to apply for admission, meet with an advisor and register for classes, learn about scholarships and other financial aid, pay tuition and more.
A new plaza on the building's north side, facing 17th Street, will make Morgan Hall and the Welcome Center the obvious front door of campus. The new Welcome Center is expected to be dedicated in 2015 in celebration of the university's sesquicentennial. Renovations began in February 2014.
Offices have moved:
- Admissions is now in the Forum Room, lower level of the Bradbury Thompson Alumni Center
- Student Services is now in the Mosiman and Rice rooms, upper level, Memorial Union
- Financial Aid is now in rooms 154 and 155 of Morgan Hall.
- Click for a complete list of new office locations.
