Texting while driving increased by 50 percent in 2010, according to a study from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and it has surely increased even more since then. Weve heard about the dangers of texting while driving, but the statistics and the lasting effects - are sobering.
According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, sending or reading text messages takes a drivers eyes off the road for an average of 4.6 seconds. In a car traveling 55 miles per hour, thats equivalent to driving the length of an entire football field - with your eyes closed. Driving while texting increases the risk of a crash 23 fold, and using any handheld device quadruples it.
Its even more of an issue for our less experienced teen drivers. Distracted driving is a key factor in about 11 percent of teen traffic fatalities. Thats 11 percent of teen fatalities that could be avoided by simply putting down the phone.
Texting and driving is only part of the equation. As attorneys working with accident victims, we all too often see the consequences of distracted driving. Most of the victims we represent have been injured due to the negligence of another. As long as people are texting while driving, everyone on the road is at risk.
So how do we reverse this trend? Popular opinion suggests that it will take a combination of education and legislation to reverse it. Realizing the risks is a beginning, but weve got to change our own behavior and that of all drivers on the road. Some 39 states have adopted laws against texting while driving, but South Carolina is not among them. South Carolina does have a broader Distracted/Inattention clause noted under its contributing factors provision. Therefore, drivers in this state should be equally aware that their texting could be found as a cause for negligence in an accident.
No one sets out to hurt another, or themselves. Nonetheless, its important to recognize that negligent behavior may lead to injury. Texting while driving is known to cause injury and death. Lets put an end to unnecessary suffering and keep our eyes on the road. Like most things in life, the text can wait.

We rank the 12 non-conference schedules from toughest to easiest
The summer drawing to a close can only mean one thing — the beginning of college football season is just around the corner. Beforehand, coaches and fans alike analyze each opponent to see how successful the season will be because like every other sport, winning games is the ultimate goal.
Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops and Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumiln have traded comments about the difficulty of A&M's non-conference schedule for the upcoming season. We suggest checking out their little spat. But the bottom line is the strength of non-conference play varies from school to school and can either help or hurt the overall record and now playoff selections.
Some of the FBS teams in Texas have its work cut out while others will use the first few weeks to continue to prepare for conference play.
Here is my ranking of all 12 FBS schools' non-conference schedules.
Non-conference opponents: Baylor, North Texas, Texas A&M, TCU
Coming off a 5-7 season in 2013, head coach June Jones will have the tough challenge of bouncing back with one of the most rigorous opening schedules in all of college football. With two players battling for the starting QB gig for 2014, Jones will have to choose the best fit to lead SMU's offense against four teams that had successful seasons a year ago. SImply put, whoever takes over under center will have to grow up quickly.
Non-conference opponents: Houston, Arizona, Oklahoma State, New Mexico
Now done with the transition to FBS football, UTSA is looking to contend for a C-USA title and postseason play. The biggest challenges the Roadrunners will face after an adequate season in 2013 — besides replacing quarterback Eric Soza — will be the high scoring capabilities of a powerful Oklahoma State team and Arizona's strong running game. Houston, a team that could finish the year undefeated, will also be a daunting task. Look for UTSA to contend, but there is still a lot of work to be done early on.
3. Texas
Non-conference opponents: North Texas, BYU, UCLA
The 2014 season will be a big test as Texas' offseason has been filled with distractions and big changes with the arrival of new head coach Charlie Strong. Texas will be facing three teams that had successful season with the toughest being UCLA at AT&T Stadium. You can bet that under Strong, who has earned the reputation of a respected disciplinarian, the Longhorns will be focused for the tough road ahead.
4. Rice
Non-conference opponents: Notre Dame, Texas A&M, Hawaii, Army
With a C-USA championship coming out of the 2013 season, Rice will have to turn around and focus with a serious opening schedule. Notre Dame and Texas A&M are two powerhouse teams that will give Rice a lot of trouble. And Army and Hawaii could surprise, so it's safe to say Rice will have one of the tougher schedules opening the new season.
Non-conference opponents: New Mexico, Texas Tech, New Mexico State, Kansas State
With the only positive about the previous season being a top 50 spot in rushing yards, UTEP again will have its work cut out for it with two solid Big 12 teams showing up on the schedule. The Miners will need to tighten up its defense to prepare itself for the fast-paced offense of Texas Tech and Kansas State, which simply gets the job done.
6. North Texas
Non-conference opponents: Texas, SMU, Nicholls State, Indiana
The Mean Green made the move from the Sun Belt to C-USA in 2013 and proved its worth as an upcoming football program. This year will be a true test for head coach Dan McCarney's team, as he will deal with many holes. Key offensive and defensive players left after the January 1 bowl victory, leaving voids all over the field. Playing a Big 12 and Big 10 team, UNT could head into conference play at 2-2.
7. Houston
Non-conference opponents: UTSA, Grambling State, BYU, UNLV
Houston will get a rematch against BYU and UTSA again this season and will be exposed to what UNLV and Grambling State have to offer. UH has an opening schedule that will be a good showing of what Tony Levine has up his sleeve, especially with the high expectations we have here at DCTF. The biggest challenge will be BYU's 10th ranked rushing offense.
8. Texas State
Non-conference opponents: Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Navy, Illinois, Tulsa
With its debut season in the Sun Belt Conference ending with a 6-6 season, the Bobcats have an opening schedule that will give them the chance to help start this season on a positive note. Texas State might even achieve a winning season, something it has not done a lot in the past years. With quarterback Tyler Jones taking the snaps and Robert Lowe running the ball, the Bobcats have a chance to get rolling early.
Non-conference opponents: Stamford, Minnesota, SMU
Gary Patterson will seek to get TCU in a bowl game in 2014 after a disappointing 4-8 season. Patterson will tweak the offense in hopes that he can see another 13-0 Rose Bowl quality season — or at least something close to it. Minnesota isn't exactly a world beater in the Big 10, but the Horned Frogs won't want to underestimate the Gophers. And the 'Battle of the Iron Skillet' is always entertaining.
10. Texas A&M
Non-Conference opponents: Lamar, Rice, SMU, Louisiana-Monroe
After two successful seasons in the SEC, Texas A&M will have to go forward without superstar Johnny Manziel in 2014. A&M is another Texas team that has an easy non-conference schedule and has received heat from Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops on the matter. Even with an easier schedule, the Aggies will have to strengthen its secondary which proved a weakness when Rice started to come back at Kyle Field last year before ultimately falling.
11. Texas Tech
Non-conference opponents: Central Arkansas, UTEP, Arkansas
Kingsbury and Texas Tech will look to build off of last year's momentum with three manageable non-conference games. Tech will likely put up big numbers against these foes since, as we all know, the Red Raiders never have trouble putting points on the board. If Tech avoids a defensive downfall, it can be undefeated after the first three weeks.
12. Baylor
Non-conference opponents: SMU, Northwestern State, Buffalo
Art Briles and the Bears will have one of the easier beginnings to the 2014 season. The Bears' explosive offense that aided them in achieving the Big 12 title, a BCS bowl appearance and one of the best seasons in team history is looking to carry over with Bryce Petty returning as the Bears' quarterback. Baylor can easily be 3-0 heading into conference play.

Osteoporosis Education A Priority In New York State
Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to become thin and weak, often resulting in fractures (broken bones). Fractures can cause debilitating pain, reduced mobility, and a loss of quality of life.
In New York State alone, at least 3 million women and men (age 50 and over) either have osteoporosis or are at significant risk of developing osteoporosis. Are you at risk? The good news is that, as a result of research, we now have effective ways to help you prevent, diagnose and treat this sometimes-disabling disease.
Osteoporosis education is the key to helping you make choices necessary to achieve healthy bones and wellness for a lifetime. In 1997, Governor George Pataki signed the Osteoporosis Education Bill (New York State Public Health Law 2707). This bill established the New York State Osteoporosis Prevention Education Program (NYSOPEP) within the New York State Department of Health. This educational initiative makes it possible for all New Yorkers (the general public and healthcare professionals) to learn about the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis.
NYSOPEP provides education about the causes of osteoporosis, the value of prevention and early detection, and options for treatment. NYSOPEP information is accurate, current and research-based.
Helen Hayes Hospital in West Haverstraw, New York, is the Statewide Osteoporosis Resource Center. Helen Hayes Hospital is a New York Presbyterian Hospital affiliate, operated by the New York State Health Department and has been recognized as a Specialized Center for Osteoporosis Research by the National Institute of Health since 1987.
For more information about how you can promote healthy bones and prevent osteoporosis, please go to www.NYSOPEP.org or call 845-786-4772. In addition, there are several informational handouts for your use that are listed below.

A solar energy farm described as the largest in the state will be located in Colleton County near Walterboro, officials said Wednesday.
The project on about 20 acres will produce up to 3 megawatts of electricity on property located in the service area of Coastal Electric Cooperative.
Santee Cooper said the effort will provide an opportunity to learn the costs and potential benefits of large-scale solar power. Central Electric Cooperative is a partner in the effort.
"Santee Cooper is pleased to partner with Central and the state's electric cooperatives in planning this project, which will set a new bar for solar power in South Carolina," said Lonnie Carter, Santee Cooper president and CEO.
Santee Cooper currently has more than 130,00 kilowatts of renewable electricity online or under contract, he said.
Central Electric President and CEO Ron Calcaterra, said that solar power costs more than conventional power, even after factoring in tax incentives.
"That's why we're doing this, to learn how we can minimize the cost to our members," he said.
The pilot project will be a tool for learning how to integrate solar power into a complex power system while still providing reliability and affordability, the utilities said in a press release.
Santee Cooper has issued a request for proposals and is reviewing bids now for a third party to construct and operate the project, with Santee Cooper having the option to purchase the electricity and distribute it through Central to member cooperatives.
Construction of the solar farm is expected to start by the end of the year.
Most of the solar power now used in South Carolina comes from the Boeing rooftop system in North Charleston, which produces 2.6 megawatts of power. It covers 10 acres of the roof of the 14-acre Boeing 787 final assembly building. South Carolina Electric & Gas and Boeing were partners in that project, which generates enough electricity to power 250 homes, according to SCE&G.
Santee Cooper, which is owned by the state, is South Carolina's largest electricity producer. It provides power for about 2 million people in all 46 counties. "Renewables" such as solar energy account for 1 percent of the state's power.

When you type a query that's popular in Google Image Search, Google's Web search engine shows a list of the most relevant images in an OneBox result. If you add "pictures", "images" to your query, the OneBox now includes a lot more images.
"If we detect that your query has 'high image intent' (meaning, we're pretty sure you're looking for images) we'll start showing more images on the page. If you add words like 'photos', 'pictures', and 'images' to a query, that means you're probably not looking for a blog post or video. Showing more images on the main search results page makes it just that much faster to find the image you're looking for," informs Google.
Another change is that Google will show a larger thumbnail when you mouse an image from the OneBox, just like in Google Image Search. The OneBox result now looks like the first page of images search results, but it's interesting to notice that the ranking is slightly different.

Here's a look at a very detailed drawing of the one from the game: http://img.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/64010/assassin3_qjpreviewth.jpg
Originally, I got the plans from Wesley Scoggins on IndyMogul.com. I modified it a little, but kept the same basic structure/ provided more detail. Here's the website if you want it: http://www.indymogul.com/post/7272/wesleys-weekly-how-to-retractable-wrist-blade
Here's a video of it in action:
Let's get started!
Step 1: Supplies
3 Toilet Paper tubes-Free or $5 at Taco Bell
Pack of Paper Fasteners-$1.29
Foam Board-$3
2 Rubber Bands
X-Acto Knife
Paper Clamp-$.50
Can of Silver Spray Paint
Duct Tape
Step 2: Making the Blade
Then, cut out your blade using your knife. Use a ruler to give it a nice, straight edge.
Take it outside and give it a nice coat of silver spray paint. Don't over do it though! You don't want any runs. I found that foam board dries surprisingly quickly, so by the time I got it back up to my dorm, it was already dry to touch. Once one side is dry, flip it over and do up the other side.
Now let it all dry for a bit while you work on the arm part.
Step 3: Working on the Arm Bracelet Thing
Set one aside and put the other two together.
Cut/poke a small slit through both rolls, about big enough for a brass fastener. Insert said fasteners.
Where are you from that you can't find them?
I'm from Canada
I'm working on trying to make it pop out with a flick of the wrist like in the games.

Los Angeles Lakers Basketball Tickets
The Los Angeles Lakers franchise began in the 1940s. The tradition of championships began quickly and has since been part of every era of the franchise, regardless of location or what name they have gone by. That success has led to the team's fervent fan base and the lengths that people will go to in order to get Los Angeles Lakers tickets.
Founded in 1947 in Detroit, Michigan, as part of the NBL, the team joined the NBA in 1948. The real story began for the franchise when they were known as the Minneapolis Lakers, based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. As their Minneapolis incarnation; the Lakers won their first five league championships. Then in 1960, the team relocated to Los Angeles, where they became home to some of the most cherished players in the league.
In Los Angeles the team has gone from winning in the 70s and 80s, to winning in the 00s. Kobe Bryant has become synonymous with the Los Angeles Lakers name, along with other notable players like Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol and Steve Nash who have worked to take the team to its accustomed perch atop the NBA. The winning tradition means the Lakers have some stiff rivalries with teams like the
Boston Celtics
. When the Lakers take the court at Staples Center, exciting basketball is about to happen!

Seems very similar to the various stands and things from Blue Lounge, no?
www.bluelounge.com and in particular, this Slope looks an iPad version of the Blue Lounge Milo:
Slope by Dekke is a new stand for iPad, actually tablets in general, that is unique in its own right. As you can see above, it looks much like the base of an iMac stand and pairs beautifully with an attached iPad. The most amazing part, however, is that it uses a series of tiny air pockets to secure your iPad into place and secure itself to most surfaces. It really is like magic.
I had the pleasure of sitting down with Erik Kittlaus recently, the creator of Slope. If the name sounds familiar, that's probably because Erik's brother, Dag Kittlaus, is one of Siri's co-founders. I met both of them last Spring when Dag spoke at an economic development event event in our hometown of Michigan City. And I've kept in contact with Erik ever since.
When Erik first told me about Slope about a year ago, it was a Kickstarter project looking for some funding. I was intrigued with the idea and have to say, seeing it in person was still quite amazing. The first thing you notice is how light it really is. I was a bit skeptical as to how well it'd actually be able to hold an iPad in place that was about three times it's weight. But it does, and it does it well.
There are two black areas on Slope on both the top and the bottom. These areas look like pads but are really tiny air pockets that are so small, we can't see them with our naked eye. (You can read more on this via the site link at the bottom.) They're quite spongy to the touch. When you stick your iPad, or whatever other tablet you own to Slope, it works like a suction cup. The bottom does the same for whatever surface you place it on.
I've tested Slope out on a variety of different surfaces and found only one surface it didn't particularly like, and that was the night table next to my bed. I'm assuming it may be due to the type of wood grain. It definitely adhered and I felt comfortable that it wouldn't fall over, the bottom would just pull up before the iPad would pull off. Basically, I just had to use two hands. On other surfaces, I had no problem pulling the iPad right off with a firm grip and the Slope staying attached to whatever surface it was mounted to.
Slope comes in two different sizes, the standard slope for up to 10" tablets and the Slope mini for 7" tablets. I have been using the standard sized Slope stand with both an iPad Air and an iPad mini and it works exceptionally well with both devices. If you only own a mini, that's where you'd want to buy just the Slope mini.
Slope is hands down one of the most elegant and versatile docks I've ever seen. From using it in the kitchen when reading recipes to transferring it to the coffee table to share videos with family, I've found it's a dock that moves wherever you go. And for most people, that's going to be what matters.

$60 bucks, Too much!!
Sent from the iMore App
I currently use a Twelve South BookArc and was frustrated that it didn't fit my iPad 4 with Smart Cover very well. However, now iPad Air is thinner they are a perfect match.
I don't have a problem paying for quality and this stand looks very sleek. When I started reading, my only concern was the dust aspect. Its weight would make it great for travel (unlike the BookArc) and I also like that the stand doesn't inhibit the iPad.
Sent from the iMore App
Agreed, the design aesthetic of the slope is several notches above the Milo.
I got something similar to this last week at Best Buy for $19.99. Works like a charm.
I'd also be interested in this, my guess is no however.

That's pretty cool

Guests will board the Ovation Yacht for an evening of food, music and fellowship. This year the event is focusing on awareness for the Children of the Beneficiaries' in our rehabilitation program. The event will help raise funds to build a play scape at our Romulus Women's Campus as well as updates to our Family Visiting Center in our Men's Campus located in Detroit.
Boarding is at 6:00pm with departure at 6:30pm. The dinner menu will consist of New York Striploin, Carved Roasted Breast of Turkey, a Pasta Station along with many wonderful side dishes and desserts. Live entertainment will be provided by "Laurie Johnson Project". Planned return to the Jefferson Beach Marina is 9:00pm.
If you would like to join us for a wonderful evening or to make a contribution, please contact Karen Zawadzki; Director of Finance for The Southeast Michigan Adult Rehabilitation Center. Seating is limited; event tickets are $150 each.
The highlight of the evening will come during a fairytale-themed fashion show emceed by WXYZ Reporter Erin Nicole and featuring twelve women currently enrolled in the women's program. Each beneficiary will be dressed in attire from one of the 33 metro Detroit Salvation Army thrift stores, and themed to reflect one of the princess fairytale stories.
"The ladies who live at theRomulusfacility truly undergo a massive transformation while participating in our rehabilitation program," Cheryl Miller, administrator of women's and families ministries for The Salvation Army ARC. "The fairytale theme of the Harvest of Blessings fashion show is representative of the positive changes the women make to rebuild their lives on the journey to recovery."
Throughout the evening, guests will be invited to take part in a silent auction of items donated by various local businesses and organizations, including a ticket package to the Detroit Zoo; tickets to a Detroit Pistons game; a boat ride on the Detroit Diamond Jack; a spa package; custom golf clubs; a selection of gift cards; and exclusive items from each of The Salvation Army's 33 metro Detroit thrift stores.
All proceeds will directly benefit the nonprofit's residential women's rehabilitation center that first opened its doors in August 2011.
"The ultimate goal of the Harvest of Blessings event is to raise money to provide support for beneficiaries and their families," said Merle Miller, administrator of The Salvation Army Southeast Michigan Adult Rehabilitation Center. "Since all of our ARC programs are independently-funded, this annual fundraiser plays a key role in continuing our ability to assist men and women looking to overcome their addictions."
"We're extremely blessed to have the sponsorship of Yono Properties, LLC which makes it possible for us to hold our fourth annual VIP dinner and fashion show," said Merle Miller, ARC Administrator. "The ultimate goal of this year's event is to raise money to assist us in expanding our Department of Performing Arts, which even in its very early stages has proven to be a healthy creative outlet, nurturing the emotional healing of the beneficiaries enrolled in our Adult Rehabilitation Center Program."
Festivities begin at 6:30 p.m. with a reception and continue with a sit-down dinner at 7:00 p.m. The evening, with Joanne Purtan of WXYZ TV-7 serving as Celebrity MC, will also feature a fashion show with a fun and chic "Harvest of Blessings" theme featuring 'Red Carpet Fashions'. All clothing modeled will be from The Salvation Army's 25 thrift stores in metro Detroit.
The purpose of "A Harvest of Blessings" is to encourage attendees to share their blessings and help the ARC provide, among other things, materials for props, along with recording and sound equipment for the Department of Performing Arts under development. Mr. Masoud (Mike) Yono, President of Yono Properties, L.L.C. is serving as this year's host.
Since 1926 the Salvation Army Southeast Michigan ARC has been dedicated to transforming drug and alcohol addiction through their 300-man residential rehabilitation program in Detroit. Rooted in the Christian faith, the ARC offers substance abusers the opportunity to re-build their lives through a voluntary, self-help program designed to restore families and sobriety. Since its inception more than 80 years ago, the ARC has provided help and hope to thousands of men whose lives were affected by substance abuse.
Completely self-funded, the ARC draws its entire operating budget from the revenue of the 25 Salvation Army Thrift Stores located in Southeast Michigan (meaning that 100% of the proceeds from the sale of donations made to the stores are used to make the miracle of rehabilitation possible.) The planned development of the performing arts program will be put into effect as funding permits.

First Apple was going to make a cheaper iPhone, either to try to blunt the rapid rise of Android phones or to compete in international markets. Then it wasn't. Now after a new interpretation of comments from Phil Schiller, Apple's senior VP of global marketing, maybe it could. Or not. It's all so confusing!
So let's settle this now: Apple will never make a "cheap" iPhone. Most certainly Apple itself will never use the word "cheap" in association with anything it makes, iPhone or otherwise. Or "inexpensive," or "value-priced," or anything of the sort. That has never been the Apple way, and given that it owns most of the profits in the industry with its current strategy even in the face of Google's Android onslaught, why it would change?
More than that, though, it seems doubtful that Apple would sell an iPhone that anyone else would call cheap, either. Full-freight iPhone 5s bought without a contract start at $649 in the U.S., and even the cheapest iPhone 4 starts at $450 off-contract. It's very difficult to see how Apple could profitably sell an iPhone of any kind that still deserves the name for a third to a half of those price points. And anything over about $200 is going to be hard to call
cheap inexpensive affordable by almost anyone, even in the U.S.
Now, that doesn't mean Apple won't make a less expensive model of a smartphone with which it could make inroads into China or other countries where there's no carrier subsidy, or perhaps simply to head off people who might opt for a truly cheap Android phone. Indeed, Apple hasn't shied away from offering older iPhones that are inexpensive–or even free!–albeit with a two-year commitment. The consumer-facing price isn't the issue.
It's also not beyond the realm of possibility that Apple could offer a different wireless communications and Internet access device. Perhaps that's even the source of recent rumors about an Apple watch. Other form factors could be cheaper to produce, or at least feature lower-cost components, such as a plastic case perhaps–to be sure, an elegantly engineered
plastic excuse me, polycarbonate case.
But it's simply difficult to imagine that Apple would offer something that could be construed as cheap by international standards–which I would take to mean under $200 for sure, a price that Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster has suggested–and still call it an iPhone. The iPhone brand stands for uncompromising quality, and I don't see why Apple would endanger that.
It's always possible that Apple will stretch the iPhone line, which customarily sports only one new product at a time. Never say never, especially when it comes to Apple. But I'd be less surprised to see the company conceive a new brand for it. After all, Apple itself carries plenty of cachet no matter what product name comes after it.

I'm playing EQ2, not because of what GW2 is not but what EQ2 is. Since '05 I've been playing EQ2 on and off and IMO offers the fullest MMORPG experience out right now.
The main pull is what there is to do outside of combat. All, well 95%, of MMOs have combat and some do it better than others. In this area GW2 is at the top if the list IMO. What ties me to EQ2 however is the crafting, housing, character customization (both cosmetically and skill wise), mounts, dungeon making, etc. The variation and depth to EQ2 is great. My main draw to MMOs are from a fantasy nerd angle. EQ2 provides the best fantasy median to just "be".
I will have many hours spent into GW2 before EQN comes out but right now I crave something a bit deeper.

It's difficult to answer that question. If you're wanting to play a single MMO for a number of months or years at a time, GW2 is probably one of the worst games on the market. It doesn't have enough content to keep people playing for long periods of time unless they are the type of people who are OCD about having 100% map completion and all achievements.
For a game to play for a few months in between major MMO releases, there's few games on the market that offer more bang for your buck. I'd rank GW2 up there with C9, Vindictus, and Dragon Nest as excellent games to play for people who have limited amounts of time for gaming.
Personally, I'm not playing much of anything atm.

I currently playing Rift, why do i chose this over GW2?
Lets start with Rift having more "Guild Wars" then GW2.
devs/updates. Rifts consistant updates bring more content, and generaly more things to do then a week long event consisting of a jump puzzle and 5 minute long instance on last day.
Longevity, some people rather not have stat progression. But with raids alone, you can be set on PvE alone for long time with just one raid. and again with updates its infinite with new release raids.
Carrots. grinding for a cosmetic that in the end helps me in no way is only amusing to a certain point.
Dungeons require you to do more then zerg bosses. yes in gw2 its more efficient not to zerg. but doesnt require skill to progress.
Raids, fact guildwars2 doesnt really have anything that a full guild can accomplish together is meh. PvE wise.
Exclusiveness, gw2 lets anyone, good or bad at the game, casual or hardcore to have same items and everything. just like prestige in CoD, GW2 just takes time to grind.
Pvp, i would give gw2 the upper hand in this, But lets face is WvW is broken, bugged, and if on bad server pretty dull. Actually even on winning server can get pretty dull... (defending SM for example.. stand on wall and AoE rams/treb) and doesnt help you have many invisible enemies. and you can pretty much win most control points in WvW with just having mass people to do supply runs/build siege weapons.
SPvp is ok at best. i do like the fluient action based pvp.. but with everyone with nukes or instant heals.. turns out to be another zerg fest. Rift is definitely slower, and has static casting.. but feel like takes more team skill. and pugs require you to work more as team.
No open world pvp. another +1 rift. This is Huge for me. nothing like ganking a group as they do a rift.
But I do play rift more so for pve. Tho im heavily into pvp games, rather just play rift and dota for my pvp.
Housing, nuff said.
Hacks, tho not sure how plentiful now-a-days... but i did jump back in few days ago.. and already saw a speed hack in sPvP in like 2nd game.
Talents/Classes. extremely more customizable.
I'm sure theres more, but Im kinda bored and watching old james bond.. cheers

It's not exactly a double standard.
GW2 was supposed to remove the grind (or so the developers claimed at one point in their videos), bring questing on a whole new level, remove the holy trinity, etc.
Except that for some players, they felt that whenever they wanted something they had to grind it (armors, etc). Even if purely cosmetic, the need to grind for a fairly significant chunk of time in order to complete a set, sort of go against the "no grind" aspect they were told to expect. The same goes for questing, ultimately, for many GW2 simply removed the Quest Givers and nothing really ever changed, you're still killing 10 rats to help a farmer (or you can water his plants too). And although many were hopeful that the removal of the holy trinity would be an interesting change, many felt that it didn't work out really well. And remember, this is purely subjective (as is any opinion).
In fact, it might not be that they have an issue with the features themselves, but the way GW2 implemented them is. And just because they may also play a MMO that does not innovate on an old design does not imply a double standard. As I've said in a previous post, players could be playing both WoW and EVE at the same time (which are pretty much polar opposite). They simply offer a different set of features or mechanics that fulfill different needs. Players who were disappointed in GW2 were hoping it would fulfill certain needs of a different experience, something their current MMO might not fulfill at the moment (but does fulfill them in other areas), but it didn't work out that way for them.

Longevity - GW2 has little to no longevity unless you have OCD and find running around the map for countless hours walking on top of points of interests and waypoints for no reason fun. You can be level 80 in full exotics in a week in GW2...so unless you have OCD you're gonna' get bored, like I did. TERA at least has dungeons that you won't beat on your first try, or even your 15th, or maybe never if you don't get geared and skilled enough. Something to progress towards. There's also progression in PvP, both through skill and gear, you can't just get handed gear and a flavor of the month class+build and instantly succeed in TERA PvP. I've played my warrior religiously for months to get to what people consider a respectable skill level with my class, and people know that, the good warriors are known by everyone on the server.
PvP - GW2 has no OWPvP and it's instanced pvp is buggy, imbalanced, meaningless and a giant zerg. TERA has OWPvP and Dueling, the two types of PvP I enjoy the most, while there's some imbalance and buggyness in PvP this can be offset with skill due to the fact TERA has actual skill based combat and a larger array of skill to choose from.
Customer Service - GW2s customer service is atrotious, they couldn't even provide me with a reason why I was issued a temporary ban on the forums. While in TERA, for one, i've never been banned from the forums and two I can open up live chat and get in contact with someone immediately that will perform quite impressive things for me... like un-soulbinding a cosmetic I aquired on one character to give it to another one.
Bots/Spammers/Hacks - While I witness bots, get gold selling e-mails and see hacks on a daily basis in GW2 I never experience any of this in TERA.
Community - Because people have a name and there's OWPvP, global chat and Vanarch system + guild emblems beside your name people have identities and communities are formed. I have made so many friends in TERA, meanwhile 500 hours played in GW2 and i've only met one fellow who's stuck around and become a friend of mine. Because there's no need to group, everyone gets xp for anything they touch, therefore nobody talks they just zerg.
Also, TERA has more guild wars than GW2 as well.

I was playing gw2 often but i stopped that and have been playing champions online. The character editor is awesome and all those freeform builds are just fun. I spent about a week on my level 40 just making the perfect build for it.
Sadly i dont find much of the content enjoyable and because i already have 5 level 40s from when i played during launch n stuff, i will never level a char up again.
Still praying for lair updates :(
Id play gw2 but my stealth assasin in co is just too fun to mess around with even with binary levels of difficulty.

1.) He compared Rifts stacked up update against GW2's HALLOWEEN update. That's not logical. His description of the contents of the October update isn't even accurate. It was obvious he's devaluing it. Why can't we be impartial when saying stuff like these?
2.) You just downplayed map completion, even labeling people OCDs for wanting to complete the map. Dude, get real. If you don't find it interesting there's no need to patronize those who do. Besides, "running" around for map completion involves combat and opens up adventures by encountering secret areas and events.

WoW, EQ2 etc for reason of longer leveling (still short) or if you like dailies etc eg: making an imperial silk per day with a 24h cooldown. Build for someone who has a short time everyday
This isn't a signature, you just think it is.

This portion of my post was obviously personal perference. Longterm updates : One time events. I can compare the two to show why I chose the orginal form of updates.
I understand GW2 updates are different in nature to most mmos but...
.. comparing the two is logical, because this is how Anet is going to do their updates... Week long events mostly being one time events. May or may not add indefinate content (dungeon/zones aka next update)
Were as rifts halloween events I will admit are minor in nature, But considering this is just an event added on to game updates to GW2's major halloween game update. Because like i said, this is how Anet is doing there game updates.
and i devalued it because I felt it wasn't that impressive? Had some minor things to spend time on, but main thigns were the PvP instance, clocktower, and the mad kings realm ( which literally took less then 10min)
Never said my post was a fact. ITS ALL OPINIONS.
p.s. I will add new and unique major events are would be cool to attend, as long they are worthwhile and consistant(dare i say new one each week?). The GW2 halloween atmosphere was great.. jsut felt features and main events fell short of what couldof been i guess.

Good grief. I entered this thread wondering what non-GW2 players are playing, and all I get is GW2 propaganda.
Quite a long thread too, why did GW2 supporters feel the need to infest a topic that didn't even deal with the quality of their game? Are they that desperate?
This thread is corrupt :(

I dont think you people understand. It was ALOT of hype around GW2. Just look at the titles that was released in 2012, You have SWTOR, TSW and GW2. I dont play any of them anymore, even though i bought all 3.
People are dissapointed over all the new games coming out. I wont point out the details behind every thing thats dissapointing with these AAA titles, but i find it funny that people that enjoy GW2 are making bating threads like this to point out that GW2 is pure awsomeness. Because that game is simply not awsome for alot of people.
Why does GW2 bore me after a couple hours after ive logged in? Why do i get bored by doing "hearts" and "public" events that really are all the same 1-80 in a different wrapping?
Why does "burst" dps in BG's ruin my fun? Im dead in like 4 sec with 2 people on me even if i have 30k hp?
Why does the Zerg pvp in WWW ruin my fun? Why did que's ruin my fun?
Why does the fact that my skills are bland and all roles are gone make me feel my char has no purpose at all, besides dps number 345464 ?
Its ALOT of other reasons as well that make me want to play other games. Its not that i dont think GW2 is a quality game eiter, its AAA, but its just completly soulless IMO.
Its lots of people playing GW2 still, but most people will move on eventually. Maybe the fact that you understand this is why you come over here and "mock" people that has understood this quite a while.

I should have picked up on the possibility that the meta events required to bring out the Madness gates, the added open dungeon, and the chain to complete the book don't impress you enough to mention them.
your right, probably doesn't belong with my post because it is 100% personal peference. My point was for a game update believe there should be more.. but i guess I tend to ask for too much. the clocktower was my main attraction to it xD.
But good news is this months update looks wayyy more promising to me. One good thing about these updates and being free from sub.. I can come check them out when they come around.

Pediatric offices are swamped right now! The first months of the new year always mean children have colds, RSV, flu, vomiting, diarrhea, conjunctivitis, and strep throat, just to name a few of the illnesses "lurking" around right now.
What I don't understand is why a day care and schools send out notices to let parents know that there are cases of flu, strep, or RSV in the class? It seems that this just causes "alarm" for parents who are now worried that their child has been "exposed" to a myriad of illnesses. These are common winter illnesses and are probably present in most schools right now, as well as offices, malls, libraries, grocery stores and almost any place you go. This means that we are all often being exposed and keep PRAYING that our bodies don't decide to catch that cold right now, but you can't worry about it everyday.
Of course parents want to protect their children from germs, but germs are a fact of life and trying to "pinpoint" if your child got a cold from their school mate or from some one in their carpool or day care class is really an exercise in futility. It also raises anxiety. Most of the germs we are talking about are airborne and can be picked up almost anywhere. Frustrating yes, life threatening - thankfully rarely.
Of course schools have the responsibility of notifying parents if there is a case of meningitis, or measles in the class or even if their child's class has had an outbreak of whooping cough. In some cases it is appropriate to try and give "prophylactic" antibiotics to known exposures. These can be truly life threatening diseases. But, with this being said, thanks to vaccines, bacterial meningitis and measles are a rare occurrence and updating those pertussis vaccines should help the whooping cough epidemic. Yes, vaccines really do save lives.
I just wish I knew how to calm a bit of the anxiety that parents feel about their child getting sick. If your child has a cold, yes it could be RSV, but it could also be rhinovirus or parainfluenza virus and naming the virus does not change the treatment. Most of the treatment for all of these winter illnesses is totally symptomatic, that means fluids, fever control, time.....and watching. It may take several days for them to start feeling better. If your child has any difficulty breathing, has color change (remember red is good blue is BAD) or shows signs of dehydration they need to be seen. It is a good idea to call your child's pediatrician and talk to the nurse about their symptoms if you are worried before heading to sit in an ER unnecessarily. Save the ER visit for true emergencies which will help speed up how quickly patients are triaged and seen. Only about 10 more weeks of "sick season", but who's counting?

BB guns
Several TalkBacks have spoken to the hazards of BB guns. Who do you report new hazards to? We live in Woodside and have two guns in our area. We hear there are several guns in use in Cedar Creek. We hear there is someone using a BB gun next to Hopelands Gardens where a lot of people with children are in the park. Kids, cats and dogs are in the neighborhoods and are exposed to this hazard. Eye losses are permanent and the BB guns need to be controlled. Where do you turn these people in? We want to get some action now.
Chukker traffic
I agree that the traffic for car line at Chukker Creek is a problem that needs resolution. However, I question why it exists. How does the percentage of bus riders at this school compare to the other elementary schools in Aiken County? Could the low percentage of bus riders be due to the fact that Chukker Creek is the only elementary school in the Aiken County Public School district that is not a Title 1 school? And why is it that this school is zoned for Title 1 exemption? When Mossy Creek was built in North Augusta, the school district rezoned to ensure that the new school would receive Title 1 funds. Why has this not happened for Chukker Creek? Could the low percentage of bus riders also be due to the fact that many East Aiken-zoned students use the elementary school choice option to zone out of East Aiken and attend Chukker Creek? Why is this happening? Lastly, who is funding the extension of the school's driveway? Is it Chukker Creek's PTO? Aiken County School District? The City of Aiken?
I, along with many other senior citizens, have just been notified by one of my doctors that she won't be handling Medicare patients anymore. What will happen if all physicians take this stance? Is this the first step in Obama and Pelosi's "groundbreaking, long overdue" medical care program? How does this help any of us?
Hearing Obama outline his goals for his second term paints a rather dismal picture for the future of the country. His core focus continues to be expanding entitlements with no dedicated plan on fixing the country's economic problems. As he increases unchecked government spending, we will move closer and closer to the problems faced by our socialist neighbors across the ocean. Get ready to hunker down, troubled times await us.

Second to that goal is reducing Jones County workers' compensation claims and he appears to be making great strides on both those fronts. Cook started with the county in January of 2011 and under his leadership the number of accidents and workers' comp claims have been reduced.
Those statistics relate directly to a reduction in the county's workers compensation premium costs. While the premiums have continued to increase for Georgia counties, Jones County's costs are decreasing.
The safety programs and inspections implemented by Cook are the big reasons for the decline in work-related accidents in Jones County and both result in discounts in the annual workers' comp premiums the county pays. This year alone the county will receive $172,558 in discounts, which helps reduce the projected premium of $407,988 to a more palatable $237, 311.
Cook retired from J.M. Huber Corporation in 2007 after 33 years. At the time of his retirement he had been a manager for three and one-half years and was responsible for safety in the mines.

Arizona Cardinals
Ray Horton's focus is on being a defensive coordinator
When a team begins a season 4-0 and goes into its final game 5-10, rumors of changes are inevitable.
This is the situation the Arizona Cardinals are currently in, with both head coach Ken Whisenhunt and general manager Rod Graves on their respective hot seats.
On the other hand, Arizona's struggles have not done anything to hurt how people feel about Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton, as he has become a hot commodity.
When looking at the statistics, Arizona's defense looks like it has been middle of the road. The Cardinals rank 12th in total yards allowed and 16th in points allowed.
They have forced the third most turnovers in the NFL, and Football Outsiders DVOA system, which accounts for numerous different factors which ultimately leads to a more accurate view of the overall performance of a defense, has the Cards ranked fifth. Those two numbers paint a much better picture of the unit that has been the one bright spot for the Redbirds this season.
With that success, Horton's name has been a popular one making the rounds as a possible head coaching candidate as "Black Monday" rapidly approaches.
"Today all I am trying to do is be the best defensive coordinator in the league," Horton said Friday before the Cardinals take on the San Francisco 49ers. "I didn't do it because we didn't accomplish our goals. The rest of that stuff takes care of itself and the teams that win more are rewarded that way."
Horton, who has been an assistant in the NFL for 18 years, has learned a lot over the course of that time in preparation of one day being an NFL head coach.
"You never know if you're going to get there," said Horton. "That's what you're pining for. If you prepare well and been raised, tutelaged, you should be ready."
When asked specifically about the situation in Arizona, Horton avoided the question.

Experiential learning takes place when students are given the opportunity to take knowledge learned in the classroom out into the world, where they challenge themselves to put that knowledge to work and to see it in action. These kinds of opportunities take place on study trips abroad or in the United States, in research environments both in the laboratory and in the field, in professional internships, and in community-based service learning projects undertaken in the context of academic courses in H&S. Experiential learning provides a sustained opportunity to apply knowledge gained in the classroom in "the real world."
Experiential learning challenges students to:
- apply knowledge;
- engage with diverse audiences; and
- reflect on the personal and professional significance of these experiences.
You will apply skills you learn in class to problems that don't always have predictable outcomes. You will work closely with faculty and reflect on what you are learning. Most important, your responsibility will extend beyond earning a grade and course credit; the outcomes of experiential learning extend far beyond the classroom.
The Four Models of Experiential Learning
Experiential learning takes many forms. Some disciplines are inherently performance based and hands on—as, for example, theatre and the arts (check out course offerings in these disciplines in the current Catalog). Traditional academic disciplines also offer many opportunities for experiential learning. In the School of Humanities and Sciences, we offer four main types of experiential learning.
Follow Amanda Lippincott, the Professional Development Coordinator, on Facebook and Twitter to get updates regrading professional development and other opportunities in the School of Humanities and Sciences.

Non-Dairy Mocha Chocolate Chip Frozen Dessert
Jason and Leslie shared a passion for non-dairy frozen dessert. Jason loved making it and Leslie loved eating it. They dreamed of spreading Jason's magically delicious frozen dessert far and wide. Along with Leslie's husband, Alan, they opened "Plant," a vegan restaurant in Asheville, North Carolina, featuring Jason's luscious dessert. On their honeymoon, Amy's cousin Anna and her husband, Andrew, stopped to eat there, and went wild over the non-dairy frozen dessert, which was so delicious that Andrew, who loves ice cream, couldn't believe it contained no dairy. Anna, deciding she simply had to have it in California, called home. Soon, Amy's Uncle Joel was in Asheville talking to Jason, Leslie and Alan about working with Amy's to introduce it to a wider audience. They agreed and our chefs adapted their recipes to create four smooth, great tasting flavors...rich, dark Chocolate, creamy Vanilla with real vanilla bean, refreshing Mint Chocolate Chip and Mocha Chocolate Chip. Enjoy them all.

While it's a terrific honor for three people so prominently identified with the Wolves to be together in the same class, it's more fitting when you understand the ways Levin, Nardella and the late Breslin are entwined.
Whenever anyone asks Levin, who founded the Wolves in 1994 with Buddy Meyers and Grant Mulvey, to name his favorite players over the years, it doesn't take too many syllables before he says Nardella and Breslin. Not just because they helped his franchise win a lot of games, but because they scored a lot of points in the community with their involvement in multiple causes.
"These are nice people," Levin said. "I'm happy for them."
Nardella, a Melrose Park native, spent eight seasons with the Wolves and piled up 59 goals and 239 assists in 476 regular-season games while playing important roles on the 1998, 2000, and 2002 championship teams.
Breslin, an Addison native, was one of the first three players signed by the Wolves in 1994. He was a mainstay during the franchise's first five seasons and provided 37 goals and 82 assists in 330 games while helping Chicago win the 1998 Turner Cup.
Nardella and Breslin didn't just share a locker room for several years. They were tight virtually from the moment they started playing hockey together (when they were 7 years old) until Breslin's passing on Feb. 9, 2005, of complications from appendiceal cancer.
"They were more like brothers than teammates," said Jami Breslin, Tim's widow.
"I was pretty much excited hearing about this honor because I'm going in with Tim," Nardella said. "He was a friend my whole life."
The 5-foot-8, 170-pound Nardella, who worried his lack of size might not work in the International Hockey League, spent the first three years of his professional career in Italy. Breslin, who was two months and joined the IHL straight out of college in 1991, was the one who encouraged Nardella to come home and told him he belonged.
Though Nardella retired after the 2005-06 season, he remains the highest-scoring defenseman in Wolves history with 298 points and ranks fifth on the team's all-time register. He also played for Italy in the 1998 and 2006 Winter Olympics. He ranks those Olympic moments behind his three Wolves championships on his hockey highlights lists --- and realizes how fortunate he has been.
"I met my wife because of hockey," he said. "I made countless friends through hockey. Many of my customers (he found RJM Supplies in 1998) are through hockey. I wouldn't change a thing."
Nardella's family and friends will fill two tables at Sunday's banquet, which will be a nice turnout. The Breslin contingent, meanwhile, might need its own separate dining hall. "There's going to be a huge group," Jami said.
All three of Tim and Jami's children --- 14-year-old Shane, 10-year-old Paige, and 9-year-old Chase --- inherited the hockey bug from their dad. Paige and Chase play for the same Cyclones Squirts team based out of west suburban Geneva.
"Their teammates are coming to the dinner," Jami said. "They thought it would be a good way to support the Breslin family. It's really kind of cool."
Jami is especially excited for Tim's parents, Jim and Kay. They continue to honor their son's memory with the effort they put into the Tim Breslin Memorial Scholarship that's funded by Chicago Wolves Charities --- and Jami appreciates that they can be on the receiving end of this honor.
"One of the things we're most excited about is Tim's dad and mom are so proud of this," Jami said. "They supported his whole hockey career. It's Tim's dad that he gave his Turner Cup ring to. It's great that his parents are here to celebrate Tim's memory again."
Levin, Nardella and Breslin to be inducted into Illinois Hockey Hall of Fame on Sunday
The Illinois Hockey Hall of Fame flings open its virtual doors to Chicago Wolves chairman of the board Don Levin, former defenseman Bob Nardella, ex-left wing Tim Breslin and eight others during the Induction Dinner on Sunday at the Belvedere Banquet Hall in Elk Grove Village.
While it's a terrific honor for three people so prominently identified with the Wolves to be together in the same class, it's more fitting when you understand the ways Levin, Nardella and the late Breslin are entwined.

Wednesday, November 20, 2013
Four state legislators addressed a crowd of around 100 people Friday at the Legislative Luncheon, hosted by the Greater Summerville/Dorchester County Chamber of Commerce.
The speakers – State Sen. Sean Bennett and Reps. Chris Murphy, Jenny Horne and Joe Daning – all represent the immediate area.
Each gave a progress report to the group, speaking of his or her projects in the General Assembly and what they estimate the public can expect from their respective branches of the legislature in the coming year. The politicians also answered questions from attendees.
Sen. Bennett addressed ethics reform and the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. He said both issues are on "special order," meaning they will be discussed first when the legislature convenes its second session on Jan. 14.
In the House of Representatives, Rep. Horne said her main focus has been on children and education. She has been working on creating an education funding bill that would create "uniform millage" so children across the state will receive equal amounts of funding.
Rep. Horne has also requested an audit of the Department of Social Services, which she hopes will bring light to problems in the department.
"There are other states that are taking care of their children more than we are," she said. "As a mother I feel like it's my duty to the children I represent that we need to pay close attention to how our most vulnerable children are being treated."
Education was also a focus for Rep. Daning, who spoke of his plan to survey teachers about the national education program Common Core.
A member of the Transportation Committee, he also addressed texting and driving.
Rep. Murphy mostly spoke of the continual need for improved infrastructure, which he called a "moving target." He also addressed the budget.
"I hate to say it, but I think we're going to pass the budget and that's it this year, with it being an election year," he said.
The legislators answered more than half a dozen questions from the audience, which touched on topics such as college tuition caps, online safety and the recent Local Option Sales Tax for property tax relief referendum that did not pass in Dorchester County.

Nicki Minaj Is Collecting $12 Million From American Idol
Is American Idol really ready for Nicki Minaj's silly outfits, crazy wigs and her outspoken hypeman?
The Head Barb In Charge was spotted arriving to the American Idol Auditions in New York City yesterday dressed in a band cap with her b-friend SB, manager Manny Halley and bodyguards in tow. Judging from the looks of things, people may tune in just to see what she will come up with next.
As outrageous as her outfits and crazy hair choices have been over the past few years, it seems as though it is all paying off for Nicki who was picked to be a part of the judging panel to appeal to a younger demographic. According to new reports, Nicki Minaj is getting paid a whopping $12 million to sit alongside Mariah Carey, Kieth Urban and Randy Jackson and critique the contestants next season. [It was originally reported that she would be getting $8 million].
It looks like everyone on her team will be eating good next Spring!
