Not at all lame - it's a very good question and sometimes it bugs me, too. I'm currently working on something that requires a rather precise landscape topology and I use a bitmap as basis for the terrain. The vector drawing or blur tools in a 2D paint program can create smooth gradients and you can always convert the terrain into a procedural model. It would be nice if it was possible to adjust the terrain in the 3D views, but...oh well, maybe next version. Anyway, that's how I do it at the moment.I get to hear my music played by harpists all over the world. But there’s one piece in particular that I really have to show people how to play. That’s my fiery show-stopper “Baroque Flamenco.” Honestly, when I finally sat down to write that music out, I had to literally invent notation to try to notate what I play — since the piece uses the harp as a combination melodic and percussive instrument.
Even though it’s all painstakingly notated on the page – the best – and fastest – way to really get the piece is to have me break it down section by section, show what’s important (and what isn’t!) and explain how I came up with effects I did – and what they mean musically so people understand how to create them with their bodies.
So a few of years ago I developed an online course just to show harpists of all levels how to play this piece the way I envisioned and composed it, in 3 separate arrangements: one for advanced beginners, one for intermediate and one for advanced/professional. The course teaches all three levels simultaneously and students dip in and out of all three levels as they want. Teachers who will be teaching the piece take all three levels so they know how to teach it to their students.
I break down the patterns one by one to show what I was thinking and what effect I was recreating, to explain what is repeating and what is changing so people can remember why and recreate instead of trying to memorize.
I break down the practice sessions to help students know where and why and how to focus.
And, because I think of the piece as a shape instead of as a sequence of notes, I made a drawing of that shape, so they can hold the whole piece in their minds at once the way I do.
One interesting thing about doing it that way is that students can pick and choose different sections of the piece from the different arrangements – and they each put together a version that truly works for THEM – so everyone comes out playing something just a little bit (or a lot!) different.
The goal is for each person to find a version they can completely command so they can concentrate on performance values instead of the notes – and because the piece is inspired by marrying music to pure physical expression, the technical level of the ‘note playing’ is irrelevant – what’s important is the player’s ability to get the piece across physically.
So it’s a really fun course for me to teach – and thrilling, as the composer, to see so many people playing it –– and at the end each person in the course comes out playing their own unique arrangement.

Also – a couple years ago I started a blog series called “MY Baroque Flamenco” with videos and mini-interviews from other harpists who’ve posted their versions of “Baroque Flamenco” on YouTube. These are real players, from professionals to amateurs, adults to children – and I’ll be featuring their stories of how they came to the piece and what they’ve learned to express of their own spirits through it. You can learn more about the series HERE and link to the videos harpists have submitted!Highly recommend this advice, even after the snow has melted.

A few years ago, I was the one that had a car slide in the turn, thankfully not into another car. I was making a left from Bowe onto Leigh and had the green light, took the turn at about 15 mph and hit a patch of sand that caused my car to slide and front passenger wheel to smack into the stone curb, bending the wheel and axel. It took a month and a half to get the replacement axel from Germany for my VW and was a $5k bill, but thankfully insurance covered it.

If the predictions hold up, I'm staying home. That car is currently in the shop for a leaky clutch slave cylinder, and my backup car is an early 70's bug that really shouldn't be on the road when salt is applied...The indefinite agitation launched by editors and journalists in Manipur on Sunday to protest the grenade attack on a leading newspaper’s office in Imphal on Saturday was called off on Thursday and the publication of newspapers and telecast of television channels would resume from Friday.
The All Manipur Working Journalists Union (AMWJU) and Editors Guild Manipur (EGM) in an emergency meeting on Thursday decided to call off their stir after Chief Minister N. Biren Singh gave an assurance to provide security to media organisations.
The joint meeting of AMWJU and EGM condemned the fact that the militant outfits concerned failed to make any clarification on the grenade attack in the media office.
“The meeting also decided not to publish any Press Releases of any extremist outfits which have been issuing different versions on certain issues,” a spokesman of the agitating Journalists said.
A Chinese-made grenade was hurled at the office of ‘Poknapham’ newspaper in the heart of Imphal on Saturday evening, but fortunately it did not detonate.
Condemning the attack, Chief Minister N. Biren Singh on Tuesday announced that the state government has constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the attack.
Next articleWhat Is Database Management Software?After reading over your post and carefully looking into each link and googling the items, it appears that none of these examples quite hit the mark when comparing it to the ESO CE offer and the upset among players.

The majority of these CE bonuses (in your links) are either real life items such as soundtracks and DVDs, in-game vanity items such as pets/droids, capes, etc or skins (eve ship). Even the in-game CE exclusive shop in SWTOR is said to have vanity items.

The only real connection i see is that the AoC CE offers an item that gives players an XP bonus, much like Rings of Mara found in ESO.
This item in itself is kind of a bummer as it takes away from the excitement players get when they want to race to level cap. 

Now I understand its easy to say "well that's dumb, people shouldn't be racing they should be enjoying the game!" But you see, there's a sense of community behind these players. It's a game within a game. Some people have teams going into these launches who have done extensive research and number crunching to achieve optimality. It's what they enjoy doing. Much like people who enjoy min/maxing. Now in order to even attempt to compete they may be forced to shovel out extra dollars. I use the word *may* because I have yet to receive word on how much XP the rings will grant.

As for the Imperial race. This is nothing like anything in the CEs given in the examples. This is a whole new race with entirely new racial abilities. Again we haven't been given any insight on their details but it still stands out as a red flag. When people spend money to buy a product which they are then paying a monthly subscription in addition, they expect to be receiving the full contents of the game. When you devote yourself to a company by purchasing a CE you're not meant to stand out bases on stats. You're meant to stand out based on appearance. Not by numbers/stats. That's buying power.

So unless the imperial race becomes unlockable by non-CE players later down the road through some event, this isn't viewed as OK to do. It's not equal, it's not fair.

Perhaps if they offered the imperial item crafting style off the bat, that would be cool. Then you'd stand out by looking like an imperial. But buying stats/skills is bad. This "bonus" is something that could easily put in the base game for all to play. Heck this could even be a Capcom
