Am I the only one that would like a good old fashioned pay to play MMO?
May 29, 2013, 11:30:52 AM »
Everyone is going F2P. Frankly, I just want to pay 15 bucks a month on a game and have everything available to me without getting beat over my face with in app purchases. I want to be able to find those cool mounts, epic armor sets, etc without having to get out my wallet and break the illusion of the game. I want to be able to know that the dude that fan past me with that amazing vanity pet found him by camping an obscure area where it spawns once every two weeks.
I am beginning to HATE F2P, and I'm wondering when someone is going to go back to the old pay every month model. Now I'm fearing that Titan (whatever it is remade into) is going to be F2P with all the same stupid crap as the rest of the F2P games out there.
That dude that just ran by on that amazing flaming horse? Yeah... he's been playing the game for 10 minutes and whipped out his visa card to fork out $40. No skills, patience, or in game savvy necessary.

not that far from what we were talking about in the FF14 article/thread on CVG yesterday
one guys comment(which got marked down 16 times)
One reason to not buy this game: subscription.
which got a few replies,mine was first(this was from the article 10 things about FF 14,and one of them said that it was to last 10 years)
this game is going to last 10 years you know(Final Fantasy 11 is now in its 11th year),its not like your single player games or Multiplayer games that last a few months at most
other people's replies to the first quote
I'd rather play a monthly subscription than play a Free to play, Pay to win and then Rip you off some more with overpriced DLC and cosmetic items. Generally I find that subscription based MMO's tend to be far greater in scale much better all round than the lower budget free to play clones (not a guarantee of course). I also hate being gouged by FTP games that charge way to much for simple things like unlocking classes and races let alone the overpriced extra character slots access to normal features of online games.
MMO NEED money for server upkeep, profit and content development. Free to pay are an unreliable payment base as they need to waste resources making cash shop items and content is slow to release. Lets compare. DCUO is a free to pay game the world is small, content is rehashed lvling dungeon and its a 2 year old game with only 7 dlc that are no bigger then a content patch. FFXI pay to play, we have 3 large dimensions to explore Vena'diel, The past of vena'diel, and Abyssea. the world is based from 3 large land masses. Not to mention alot of indoor and outdoor content. in its second year it has WAY more content DCUO did.
MMO's are far and few between for me,the most successful for me has been Final Fantasy 11.
World of Warcraft
-I demoed,but PC was not up to scratch at the time(probably still isn't)
Phantasy Star Universe Online
-360 but wasn't impressed with it
Star Wars Galaxies
-PC,I came to this too late really,i got ridiculed by someone when i asked what was probably a very basic question..but i did like travelling to different planets and finding places from the movies..but thats pretty much all i did,when the Obi Wan expansion came out,what little love i had for SWG died with it and i quit
DC Universe Online
-PS3,it was good flying about but i was a bit turned off by the gameplay and even the looks,that was F2P
If i have an experience like FF11(which still stands as my favourite time with Video Games) then i will gladly pay the £8 a month
Saying that though i know that Myto is in the F2P Forsaken Worlds,i am sure she has paid something for the little stuff,but she still talks about that game all the time and from what i gather she is on a lot(I need to send her an email,not spoke to her for a couple of months)
I also have to think why people are so against paying £8 a month,Games Magazines are £5.99,and last what?,an hour,LOL..I guess it all depends how much you will be playing it

Sub based models are basically dead at this point. Just about every MMO that's gone F2P has been more successful that way. KOTOR saw their monthly revenue double. Games on the verge of shutting down are more popular than six months before the conversion. I thought Rift might ride it out along Final Fantasy and WoW but even they're switching next month. And forget Blizzard's Titan as it looks like it's not even coming out until 2016 at this point.
I think if you want a classic high fantasy sub based MMO then FF14 is going to be your only choice.

I'm fine with either model, especially since I treat MMO's like big single player RPG's anyways (I'm nearly 100% a solo PvE player). I have yet to find any game (MMO or otherwise) that keeps my interest for more than a month or two, so I'll either pay a little extra for some goodies in a F2P game, or I'll sub to a P2P for a month or two then quit. Either way works for me and the investment ends up being about the same.
For those who spend years playing a single MMO or who are heavily involved in the competitive side of them, I can see F2P getting frustrating very quickly.
I think if you want a classic high fantasy sub based MMO then FF14 is going to be your only choice.
While I think FF14 is going to be a very good MMO (based on what I've played of the beta), I worry that will be considered a failure simply because Squeenix will have very unrealistic expectations for the subscription model. They are hitting the PS3 base as well though, so maybe that'll help give it a boost. I hope so, as I can see myself spending lots of time with it.

I would agree that people that pay monthly fees for mmorpgs are in theory most truly devoted to a game, and less likely to screw around and be jerks. Although that in fact has not been my experience over the years.
I mean, I've seen a lot more spamming in F2Ps, but the jerk-factor is not much different.
I guess one could blame WoW for being so successful (I bought it early but it never did it for me) that no other big budget monthly fee game could ever really compete with it long-term. Or just the global economy in general slumping the last however many years.
I know people who actually spend more annually on a couple F2Ps (game-stores, perks, bonuses, cosmetics, extra slots, etc.) than they would've on $180/year MMOs. imho, it's just easier for people to stomach trying multiple F2Ps, than trying multiple monthly fee games. I mean, let's face it, devs/publishers want to make money. F2P is basically a lie -- they want to find ways to stealthily grab your money, right?
I guess at my worst, i was briefly paying monthly fees for two-three monthly fee mmorpgs here and there.
My feeling is if WoW ever truly fades away AND the global economy is suddenly doing gangbusters, then you
see traditional monthly fee mmorpgs return to favor. Gaming trends tend to happen in clusters, like a follow the herd mentality. I seem to recall Turbine being the first with DDO and LOTRO to convert a big budget mmorpg from monthly fee to a F2P focus.
The sad, ironic thing with me is that by the time any mmorpg I've played has gone F2P (including LOTRO, City of Heroes, Star Trek Online, Champions, Age of Conan, SWTOR, Rift, etc.), I've already lost interest in the game, and going F2P hasn't revived any of my interest. I never quit those games because of subscription fees -- I either got bored or frustrated with the game, or some other game caught my eye and I went "oooh, shiny!"
I'm curious about Marvel Heroes, and since that's built from the ground up as F2P, maybe I'd feel differently about it.

I was with you until you said you want to spawn camp for 2 weeks like it's 1999.
I'm annoyed with some of the F2P stuff. Like Marvel Alliance gives you a permanent +5% magic drop rate if you pay $200. That kind of gameplay changing thing is BS. Flaming horse I don't give a crap about because even if they made it hard to get, I would never get it. 10 years ago, I could camp the plane of gods in EQ1 playing 48hrs non-stop to get that uber drop. I was still in school back then.
And what skill is involved in acquiring these items? it's inevitably just a grind in every subscription based MMO.

I like the buy to play model, where buying the game grants access to the full experience with no penalties. I'm happy at that point to pay for the additional major content expansions that I want (like Guild Wars did). I'm ok with an in-app store, as long as the real money purchases don't drastically change the gameplay. If someone wants to pay $ to get an experience gain boost, more power to them. As long as those boosts are not requried to level and experience the content normally.

I like to have both payment options in the MMO - F2P + Subscription so you can pick and choose which way you want to go. For instance in LOTRO I went exclusively F2P. I did that because it was a game I kept going back to and their F2P model was fantastic the first few years with great deals. But in Star Wars: Old Republic, which I just started playing again, I knew I would grow tired of it in a few months so I went with the subscription model. The bonus with SWTOR subscription (and LOTRO) is that you get points each month to spend in their respective stores.
Offering both models caters to both audiences and hopefully all MMOs offer this.
I also don't care so much about the cosmetic stuff people buy with $$. With SWTOR I've used my monthly allotment of coins to buy vanity stuff on the store and once I get this months allotment I'll be purchasing a ridiculously priced "mount". But if you still want unique mounts or items most of these games offer them via killing monsters, raids, holiday events or whatever which still offers that old school feel.
For me though I have 0 interest of spending as much time I used to trying to get unique items. I'll pay the few bucks if I really want something. But typically don't even bother doing that - nice to have the option though.

I just dont like where it leads game design. Lets see, lets design in some really annoying crap in the game, but give players a way to " buy" their way around it. ( that should make us a pretty penny)
Gee art dept that is a really sick armor set you got there, I know, why waste it on the regular folks, lets make people have to buy it.
It just makes it to easy to go down the wrong path with monetization always lurking behind every decision, and even if a design/producer may be honestly good intentioned, I am sure there is a bean counting suit above them that isnt.

The slippery slope thing doesn't bother me at this point. If the the game is nickle and diming you for stupid stuff then people won't buy in to it. Takes care of itself.
For the purchasable slick armour stuff SWTOR does this currently. They have all these neat armor sets you can purchase in the store. But what they also allow is any item you purchase from the store you can put up on the regular auction house. Then players can buy it with the in-game money like they would normal auction house stuff. The pieces usually cost a fortune but usually not out of the realm of purchase if you know how to make money.
For LOTRO you can earn points for completing achievements that allows you to purchase in-store items. Typically just by playing you'll earn enough to buy a few things but if you're doing some serious purchases you'll need to grind. I have no interest in doing the grinding but that's another option that opens the store items to regular players.
So I think these games can be smart about how they approach the store bought vs in-game items. The two real-world examples I listed above sit perfectly fine with me.

EvE Online will probably remain with the pay model - at least for the foreseeable future.
And then there is ESO - have they announced a model yet?

I really like the F2P model because IMO it forces the dev's to always face the music. My experience with the early subscription MMOs was dev's making bone-headed decisions without much concern that it pissed off a majority of the fanbase - remember Star Wars Galaxies? That said, I don't like F2P where a player that doesn't spend a $ is nerfed big time -EQ2 anyone- or when the perks for $'ing players are so big that it causes imbalance.
If all F2P games were as truly F2P as Vanguard SoH and Shin Megami Tensei Online, then I'd be as happy as all hell and probably play them more. And no, I don't find just because players are paying for a subscription they're any better behaved. I find that's much more determined by the MMO's theme, genre and the slice of the gaming demographic that it attracts.

I think in either case it all boils down to solid game design. F2P can certainly go wrong, and there are tons of examples of it (especially if you play iOS games). But when executed properly I do believe F2P as a whole has been a really good thing for MMOs. If you design an F2P game, inherently you have to solidify a dedicated fanbase that is addicted to it based solely on its gaming merits. In general that means focusing on making things FUN, and efficiently fun. The old fashioned model was designed to have long level curves and grinding and waiting and extended travel times, because they needed to keep people playing physically for more time to ensure they renewed their monthly fee. The system worked because there weren't that many alternative options. In today's F2P game it's actually the opposite, there's an emphasis on making sure you are actually having fun and doing what you want to do while you're on. The more you love the game, the more you might want to support it with an in-game purchase.
For a monthly fee game to really work in today's environment, it really needs to stand out above and beyond the crowd, and have some hook that justifies the monthly fee. Maybe it's consistently evolving content, or actual people online serving as DMs or NPCs... the days where a company claims the fees are to maintain support of their servers are really over. I don't think anyone buys that anymore.

Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch straight-sided metal baking pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil, leaving about a 2-inch overhang on the short sides. Lightly butter the foil.
Put the butter in a large (4-quart) saucepan over medium-low heat and stir occasionally until melted, about 2 minutes. Off the heat, whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth, 1 minute. Add the sugar and salt, and whisk until well blended. Use your fingertip to check the temperature of the batter -- it should be warm, not hot. If it's hot, set the pan aside for a minute or two before continuing.
Whisk in the Baileys and then the eggs, two and then three at a time, until just blended. Sprinkle the flour over the batter and stir with a rubber spatula until just blended. Stir in the walnuts.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Drop the Nutella by tablespoons evenly over the top and, using a knife or small spatula, swirl into the batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with small bits of brownie sticking to it, 35 to 45 minutes. Do not overbake. Cool the brownies completely in the pan on a rack, about 3 hours.
When the brownies are cool, use the foil overhang to lift them from the pan. Invert onto a cutting board and carefully peel away the foil. Flip again and cut into 24 squares. Serve immediately or wrap in plastic and store at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 1 month.

'The Lone Ranger' marks 80th anniversary
DETROIT (AP) — It's well beyond a "Hi-Yo Silver" anniversary for "The Lone Ranger."
Wednesday marks the 80th anniversary of show that debuted on Jan. 30, 1933, on what is now Detroit radio station WXYT-AM.
The Detroit Free Press reports that "the Lone Ranger" grew into a national sensation and lasted until 1956. It also became a television series during the 1940s and '50s.
The show's live lead-in introduced its masked cowboy hero and his trusted horse with the line: "A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty 'Hi-Yo Silver!' ... The Lone Ranger!"

We should be thanking people who have the will and courage to run for office. If only more people were willing to do so.
The fact that six Athertonians have chosen to do so shows a general discontent with their current elected officials.
Good on these six for standing up and trying to make a difference!
a resident of Atherton: Lloyden Park
on Aug 3, 2012 at 9:04 am
Yes, there is a general discontent with elected officials in Atherton.
However the more that enter the race the less likely change will happen. With so many running the "discontent" vote will be diluted. McKeithen will file at the end of the filing period and be able to win her fourth term with less than 40% of the vote.
There are no runoffs for council seats.
If she is not running, and she made that public; it would help those that have pulled papers better plan their campaigns. That would be in the best interest of Atherton.
If others know she is not running, they may decide to run. That would also benefit Atherton.

An elected official should not be overly concerned with making it easier for people to run against her.
That's life in the fast lane. Deal with it.
I'm just glad to see a contested race.
a resident of Atherton: Lloyden Park
on Aug 3, 2012 at 10:48 am
Accepted: "An elected official should not be overly concerned with making it easier for people to run against her."
However an elected offical does have a fiduciary responsibility to the residents of the town.
If an elected official (McKeithen) refuses to answer reporters' questions to benefit her campaign at the long term expense of the town they represent, is there a concern?
That would be an interesting paragraph in local papers: "Council Member McKeithen has decided to run for a fourth term or has chosen someone to run for her seat, but refuses to publicly state so as part of her campaign strategy to make it difficult on residents who might run.
If she is not going to run, she could help the town by announcing it, encouraging people to run, and offering advise and training to those running.

"However an elected offical does have a fiduciary responsibility to the residents of the town."
There is NO fiduciary impact (and hence no such fiduciary responsibility) of a sitting council member announcing or not announcing their intention to run for reelection prior to the close of the legally established filing period.
a resident of Woodside: other
on Aug 3, 2012 at 1:07 pm
As I said, there is no obligation for anyone - incumbent or not - to inform the public that they are running for office... even if it makes it "easier" for others to decide. Perhaps Ms. McKeithen is waiting to see who is running before she decides. That is certainly her right.
There is, however, a deadline that everyone must observe.
a resident of Atherton: Lloyden Park
on Aug 3, 2012 at 3:16 pm
Correct, she has no legal obligation to inform the public she is running for office.
a resident of another community
on Aug 3, 2012 at 5:03 pm
What is just plain wrong.
Why would anyone have to announce their plans or intentions before a filing deadline.
also a contested election is what's best foe Atherton, and a Thank You to all who offered their services.

Around 2pm today:
Councilwoman Kathy McKeithen told the Almanac today that she has made a decision on whether she will run for re-election, but she will not make the decision public yet. Asked why not, she said, "I just want a certain amount of privacy in my life right now."

Today, Hamakor, the Israeli FS and OS NPO have released a reply to some article presented in "ha'aretz" newspaper. The newspaper has each Tuesday a section dedicated to the Internet, called "Captain Internet". Yesterday, someone asked where from he can download mandrake 9.0. Instead of giving him a link, or saying, use 9.1, the captain started telling the usual crap about Linux (lack of Office, no Hebrew support, etc.).
Well, Aviram Jenik wrote a short reply, and sent it to the captain, and asked the Israeli Linux users to send them a request to publish this as the community's reply... well, I am part of the community... so I send them the mail... but I started it with the most obvious literature piece which is relevant to the situation:
O Captain! my Captain! Our fearful trip is done,
The Linux has weather'd every rack, the Hebrew we sought is won,
The office is here, it's open I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady kernel, the vessel grim and useful,
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of ink,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen wrong and mistaken,
This is of course the opening of "Oh captain! my captain!" by Walt Whitman, after few changes in the relevant places.
Well I must admit that the Hebrew support is still a bit lacking, and my diary of yesterday proves that even after 5 years around, some things are hard to achieve, but still ... Linux is a great system after all.

The initiatives in Washington County focused on improving the health of the community and the people within were showcased Wednesday night.The Healthy Community Coalition Showcase held at JP's 207 in Washington provided people who have spearheaded programs for either the Washington County Obesity Prevention Task Force or SAFE Coalition a chance to share the progress that's been made in the last year.
Updates were given on programs in Washington and Kalona focused on making sure there are safe walking routes to schools. Principals at Ainsworth and Lincoln Elementary schools talked about student-led gardens. And attendees were briefed on the county's success so far in the Live Healthy Iowa 10 Week Wellness Challenge.

I can't wait to see you also. It's been a long time. We have a lot of catching up to do. I'm staying at a lovely hunting camp in Uniontown with a client. I'll email you with my phone number.
Ms Angie,
As I was printing off the info on the Master National I saw that you were a Marshall and running dogs. That thrilled me because I will be there with Tina Ebner Styan doing some of the coverage for The Retriever News. I do not get to see you very often and wanted you to know that I will be looking for you!! Where are you staying?
Gwen Jones
The name of the distributor is Southland out of Dallas. Their number is 800-327-9912. Good Luck!!!
Thanks, Angie. I'll look in to buying it from the distributor. I'll also talk to my friend Joe Jesmer and see if I can talk him in to switching. He usually has 10-12 dogs on his truck. Thanks again! Stay cool.
I'm feeding Eukanuba 30/20. The performance formula. I'm on their kennel program and get it delivered out of Dallas. It comes to 36.00 for a 44 lb bag. You have to buy by the pallet unless you pick it up their at the distributor. Then it doesn't matter how much you buy. You might want to co-op with some friends so you can swing the pallet price and delivery.
Yea,,,, the weather is pretty hard to take up here...
Angie, what are you feeding? I switched to Taste Of The Wild trying to get away from grain while using a food that we can find here in BFE. Results have been OK except for every ones coat sucks except for Jessie. Tucker (YM) blows fur like a snow storm and Angus(BM) coat is dry and he has lately had occasional losses of hair(not shedding). Firm stools, no gas but terrible coats.
We had great results for years with Extreme Dog Fuel but often hard to find. Switched to Science Diet High Energy with good results but then started having the same problem finding it.
Anyway, let me know what your using and supplements if any. Enjoy the cooler weather up there. It just turned to crap here. Oh, we drove by Clark's BBQ on the way home from Dallas today. We had already had diner. I told Kathy we screwed up.
Thank, Angie.

Lockheed Warns Foreign Cyberattackers are Targeting Its Contractors
Jason Mick

RSA was not the only contractor to suffer a major breach, warns Lockheed
Amidst a mix of
public testimony
leaked intelligence reports
suggesting persistent cyber attacks on U.S. institutions
by Iran
and China
, the top supplier to the
U.S. Department of Defense
(DOD) is issuing a strongly worded warning. Lockheed Martin Comp. (
), whose annual revenues eclipse $47B USD, warned Monday of a rising number of so-called "advanced persistent threats", noting that many of these sophisticated attacks were linked.
According to Chandra McMahon, Lockheed vice president and chief information security officer, her firm has been targeted by a number of serious attacks. She
, "The number of campaigns has increased dramatically over the last several years. The pace has picked up."
All eyes are on Lockheed, after the company was selected to support the Pentagon's
Cyber Crime Center
(DC3), beating out previous contract holder General Dynamics Corp. (
If you believe the gospel according to Lockheed, so to speak, the weakest part of the security chains at present are contractors. In a discussion Lockheed executives revealed that EMC Corp. (
) subsidiary RSA, makers of the titular cryptographic standard was only one of
two major contractor breaches
. Like RSA, the other contractor's info was used in an attempted second-wave attack on Lockheed.

Lockheed says it is
working with both suppliers
, as well as other potentially vulnerable partners, to shore up their security.
Charlie Croom, Lockheed's vice president of cybersecurity solutions remarks, "Suppliers are still a huge problem... the adversary has been very significant and tenacious and has really been targeting the defense industrial base."
Lockheed says that some of biggest dangers come from so-called spear phishing attacks, tailor-made attacks which target a specific company and are designed to lure employees to malicious websites or to download from an email files containing malware. Lockheed also reports seeing a new wave off attacks over social media platforms.
The supplier says that it is aware of many potential
cyber-spies creeping around its networks
. It says it had been tracking the spies who hacked RSA for a few years. While the RSA information gave those parties a ticket to advance their efforts, Lockheed claims it ultimately stopped any significant data loss from occurring via in-house detection, monitoring, and network lockdown capabilities.
"We are going to continue to work with them to make sure they understand the reality of the Internet. A lot of these people don't have Ph.Ds, and they don't have a degree in computer science." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

Parm, basil and Italian-seasoned bread crumbs add the wow factor to grilled potatoes.
Because of their simple, fresh flavor, these potatoes are a perfect accompaniment to grilled steak, pork chops or chicken.
If the rain drives you inside or you prefer to try these in the oven, simply make as directed and bake in 450°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Italian style bread crumbs are a combination of plain bread crumbs and seasonings that give a subtle Italian flavor. If you want to use your own bread crumbs, add a little onion powder and garlic powder and a dash of Italian seasoning.

Gonzaga Prep students replacing old school textbooks with iPads
SPOKANE, Wash. - Using a textbook is now considered "old school" at Gonzaga Prep after administrators announced Thursday students will use iPads in classrooms starting next year.
Parents will be responsible for providing iPads for their kids to use and they'll use three apps: One to download textbooks, one to turn in assignments and another to study and take notes.
As you can imagine, students attending Thursday's assembly were excited with the news.
At the assembly, students were first asked to turn off their cell phones -- after all, they are a distraction -- and then, using an iPad for effect, Gonzaga Prep entered a new era of education where not only will iPads be welcomed into the classroom but will be required.GPrep iPads vo
To this news the students went wild, as their school becomes the first high school in Spokane to ditch textbooks for an all digital lifestyle.
Despite the high price tag of an iPad -- about $500 -- Principal Cindy Reopelle says there was little resistance from parents.
"I think it'll be a cost saving or our parents, our parents are responsible for buying their own textbooks for the students and so by buying an iPad we can provide textbooks for less expensive," she said.
She's right; a typical Gonzaga Prep parents will spend close to $400 a year on textbooks. With an initial investment into an iPad digital textbooks will then only cost about $15 each.
According to the principal distracting games and websites will be blocked by the school's WiFi.
The Spokane public school system has no immediate plans to replace textbooks with iPads but they are incorporating more e-readers and tablet computers into their curriculum. Students would check those out like they would a library book.

It's BEY-DAY! And we couldn't let you finish the day without getting a mega dose of one of our favorite singers and entertainers of all time: Beyonce Knowles!
31-year-old Bey got her big break as the lead singer of Destiny's Child, and under the management of her father Mathew and the styling influences of her mom Tina, the group became the most successful female R&B group to date.
With hits like "Say My Name," "Bills, Bills, Bills," and Beyonce's vulnerable track "Dangerously In Love," the three were an unstoppable force in the music industry.
Beyonce moved onto a solo career, in which she became a trendsetter, mogul, role model and icon. All four of her solo albums peaked at number 1 on the US charts (no lower than number 3 in the UK), turning her into a "World Wide Woman," from her beginnings as a humble Texas belle.
Always on the right arm of legendary hip-hop icon Jay-Z, the gorgeous girl continued to break the mold and bend the rules. For one, her first solo album won her a total of five Grammy Awards!
The woman has sung live and danced while upside down and tied to a rope. She had the whole world wearing leotards and taping their own renditions of "Single Ladies" for YouTube.
Bey was awarded a Billboard Millennium Award. She starred in hit films such as Dream Girls, Cadillac Records and Obsessed. She even got to sing for President Obama and First Lady Michelle's first dance at the Inaugural Ball.
These are just a few accomplishments on a long roster of why she "got every reason to feel like [she's] that bitch!"
In 2012, Beyonce is still married to her longtime man Jay-Z, and a great mom to the heiress of their throne, Blue Ivy Carter.
Bey and her mom have revamped their clothing line House of Dereon, and she's also made it her business to connect to fans through Tumblr and video footage of her life!
From just a little girl, Beyonce has always been in tune with her purpose in life and her hard work and dedication seems to have come full circle.
With newer goals, such as reaching 1 billion people this past Humanitarian Day, and encouraging the world to do something good for another person, Beyonce Knowles has definitely grown in so many ways.
She is fabulous, one of a kind and groundbreaking! We would like to wish Bey a very happy, happy birthday! ENJOY!

Expectant mothers should use caution as they consider possible exposures to chemicals from their activities at home and in the workplace. Common chemicals that may increase the risk of birth defects are pesticides, solvents and colorants. Even seemingly harmless hobbies may create exposures.1
The ways in which a woman may come into contact with a chemical are through inhalation, ingestion, and in some cases, absorption through the skin. Most of the time, in order for chemical exposure during pregnancy to be harmful it would have to be in large doses over a long period of time.1 Chemicals can either pass from your blood and through the placenta or be absorbed into the blood stream, both resulting in exposure to the baby.2
Exposure to harmful chemicals during pregnancy can cause miscarriage, slow growth and birth defects. The most sensitive time of pregnancy is during the first trimester (12 weeks), when organs and limbs are being formed; therefore, a fetus exposed to harmful chemicals during this time may be born with a birth defect. Babies exposed to harmful chemicals after the first trimester are more likely to have slow growth and problems with brain development.2
Pesticides, solvents and colorants are found in a wide variety of everyday products and in the environment; for example:
There are many steps a woman can take in order to minimize exposure to chemicals. Some of these include:

SardiNIA Study of Aging finds five gene variant sites that coincide with known genetic contributors to autoimmune diseases
Singapore: Numerous studies have reported that certain diseases are inherited. But genetics plays a crucial role in immune response, affecting the body's ability to stave off diseases, according to a new findings from the SardiNIA Study of Aging, which is supported in part by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) at the National Institutes of Health.
SardiNIA researchers found 89 independent gene variants on the genome associated with regulating production of immune system cells. Five of these sites for the gene variants coincide with known genetic contributors to autoimmune diseases, and extend previous knowledge to identify the particular cell types that are affected by these genes.
"We know that certain diseases run in families. From this study, we wanted to know the extent to which relative immune resistance or susceptibility to disease is inherited in families," said Dr David Schlessinger, chief of NIA's Laboratory of Genetics. "If your mother is rarely sick, for example, does that mean you don't have to worry about the bug that's going around? Is immunity in the genes? According to our findings, the answer is yes, at least in part."
The study team, led by Dr Francesco Cucca, director, National Research Council's Institute of Genetic and Biomedical Research in Italy, discovered that variants in particular genes had very significant effects on the levels of one or more particular types of immune system cells.
A number of these genes are also implicated in risk for various autoimmune diseases, including ulcerative colitis, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and celiac disease. Understanding the genes affecting immune system cells and risk for autoimmune disease is the first step in developing therapies that are personalized according to an individual's needs, although more research is needed to further characterize the role genetics plays in the complex dynamics of the immune system, the researchers pointed out.

Kimbo Slice Made His Boxing Debut, Video Evidence Achieved
- Written by Dave Walsh
I feel like the professional boxing debut of former EliteXC and UFC fighter Kimbo Slice against a 39 year old 0-1 opponent deserves its due attention. The video shows what is one, Kimbo Slice absolutely mauling his overmatched opponent in dominant fashion. Say what you will about Gary Shaw, but Gary Shaw knows how to book and promote Kimbo Slice and make money with him.

Hi all,
I have searched and it looks like there are so many opinions about which e-collars are "the best."
I lost a couple of my used Tri-Tronics collars when my van was stolen. Also my TT remote releases for my Wingers, though I recovered 3 of my GU SOG wingers (sans electronics) when the van was recovered by the police.
One of my e-collars was a multi-dog system, the other just a single with a small remote that had a lanyard I could wear around my neck when not using it. I need to replace them (I hope to be reimbursed by insurance, but definitely don't need anything too high end as I don't ever see myself doing field trials or professional training ).
I'd like to stick with Tri-Tronics.
Can anyone recommend (or does anyone have a used one for sale?) a single dog system with a remote that is small and easy to use? Mine was purchased here from someone used and I loved it. I believe it had an "80" in the name? It doesn't look like any of the newer systems on the TT site though.
Also- for multiple dog systems... which are your favorites?
My uses include hunt test training, duck/quail/pheasant hunting, anything that requires an "invisible leash" such as off-leash runs at the beach or in the countryside where my obedience commands (such as "HERE") may require reinforcement. I don't "burn" my dogs (in fact, my hardest-headed dog usually only requires corrections on a "2" low/medium on the TT remote) and in fact rarely use the e-collar but it's there in case required. I haven't ever used e-collars when training for competitive/traditional obedience or agility, etc....
Thanks in advance!

Please help!
My pleco has this wound on his stomach. It started out being just an outline of a circle but its getting worse. I am treating with melafix because its an open wound but I honestly have no clue what it even is. Can anyone help?
Additional information would help alot.
How is the pleco, behavior wise? Does he still act normally or does he show strange behavior?
What tank size is the fish in? What is your maintenance routine and what are your water parameters, if you know. What are the fish's tankmates and have you added any recently? Did you do or change anything when the wound formed?

Plecos behavior is normal, size is about six inches living in a 20h with dwarf rainbows, danios, tetras. I just did a 50% h20 change and replaced filters. I haven't checked my ammonia or nitrite levels although I am sure they are fine. I did rearrange the plants I have in my tank to make more room for him. I used to have a giant pirate ship in the middle of the tank but he has gotten kind of large so now I have only plants and the center of the tank is open. More room for the fish in general. It started out as a ring where It kind of looked like he get branded with a little wire and all the skin inside of the ring looked normal. as the past day has progressed the skin in the surrounding circle kind of is getting eaten away.
What do you mean with replace the filters? I surely hope you didn't throw out the sponges and etcetera in them! The bacteria that live there help clean your water, basically the liver and kidneys of a tank. Without them, well, you know what happens to humans with kidney failure.
Melafix is fairly weak, and id only use it for really minor things. For this pleco i would recommend a broad spectrum antibiotic depending on where you live. Change as much water as the medication schedule allows and hope for the best. If you aren't doing so already, feed the pleco with vegetables such as cucumber or spinach, cleaned and pinned down with a fork. There is no way a pleco that size is getting enough food in a 20 gallon without supplemental feeding.
By the ways, if the pleco survives, I would look for a bigger tank to house it, either buy one or find someone who has a 75 or more gallon tank. Common plecos like yours regularly exceed a foot in length, and many have the potential to exceed 1,5 feet. Don't worry about not having a "cleaner fish" in your tank. Waste maintenance is the aquarist's job and a pleco will not help.

Just throwing this out there since nobody has mentioned it yet: HEATER BURN
0110 Gallon New World Cichlid Tank
Tiger Oscar, Large Common Pleco, Blood Red Parrot, A lot of Black Convicts.
First off, what are the water parameters - esp. ammonia? How often and how large are your water changes?
Second, any open wound will need more aggressive treatment than melafix (frankly, a natural med is not very useful. Sorry, but the antibiotic level in a natural product is gonna be near zero.) I would suggest, for a natural treatment, salt (1 tsp per 10 gal combined with raising temp as high as allowed for your fish.) If fungus related, salt and higher temp will help a lot; if bacteria, not as much.
I'd think real antibiotic would work best. Be careful, some of these can crash a filter - get ones that are safe for filter bacteria.
NEVER change a filter (media) when treating a sick fish. Your tank filter will crash. The last thing a sick fish needs is ammonia levels to shoot up. Watch that parameter closely, measure once a day for the next seven to eight days - if zero, than you should be safe. If non-zero than at least 50% water changes every day until the filter bacteria regrow.Knowledge is fun(damental)
A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.

Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
Wal-Mart Baldwin Park has had some real bad figure swapping and outright theft recently. Last night they had no less than 12 Bespin and Droid Capture battlepacks that ALL were missing the R2 units, the Jangos and the Boba Fetts. Not a single one was complete.
And a couple of weeks ago, all of their G.I. Joe comic packs had the figures swapped with those cheapy "The Corps" figures. What's worse, customer service was so clueless they didn't notice all these piraty looking MALE f igures in the spot where a female G.I. Joe, Scarlett, was supposed to be. Unbelievable. I've had to point these things out to employees on both occasions.
I haven't found any of the new EVo sets or the new TAC waves, except for one or two future pegwarmers.

#24 - Gone but not forgotten
got to Burbank Target after 8:30, they had 2008 Wave 1 remnants: Vader, Gree, platform droids, Tri-Droid. The Gree vanished pretty quick to someone else, I skipped it since the helmet paint was terrible. 3 of each new Evo set. Picked up the Sith one. Remnants of new Titaniums and Mighty Muggs, too.
Nothin else new in other toylines. That store's a wasteland now if you're after DC toys in particular; Universe has been a gray-dot column of empty pegs for a long while (only saw any once since the reset, a lonely Orion), The Batman's had the same 5 figures for weeks (down a couple since last week tho), JLU's only got older stuff coming in. GIJoe basics still empty, and comics full of wave 1. Marvel toys pretty shabby too.
Also picked up Dinoco Tia & Mia from CARS
Crap! the day I decide to not go to Burbank target and wave 1 08 hits.
Tooninator: Dc Universe figures have hit at least 3 times at that target. I saw a full set last for a couple of days. Let me know which ones you need so I can stash them.
Everyone: I need help finding Gi Joe wave 6. Please stash or pick up for me. Thanks!
I'm good on wave 1, only really wanted Etrigan and Orion (tho after gettin them, I'm tempted to complete it just to build Metamorpho). I'd just like to see 'em in stores now & then, especially as Wave 2 approaches.

The PC party has picked September dates for a leadership convention in the wake of Frank Coleman's departure as a would-be premier.
Provincial PC party of Newfoundland and Labrador, leadership Convention committee co-chairs Sheila Kelly-Blackmore and Tommy Williams today announced the new process.
"There is renewed interest in our party's leadership process, and we look forward to a vigorous campaign as contenders vie to lead our party and our province," Kelly-Blackmore said.
• Nominations will open for the position of PC party leader at 12 p.m. island time/11:30 a.m. Labrador on Monday, at which time a registration package will be available for each candidate.
• Nominations will close for the position of PC party leader at 12 p.m. island time/ 11:30 Labrador on July 7.
• Delegate selection meetings will be held between July 14 and August 14.
• The PC leadership convention and annual general meeting will be held on Sept. 12-13 at the Delta Convention Centre in St. John's.
The PC leader will be elected by secret ballot on Sept. 13.
The earlier convention and AGM date of July 4-5 was cancelled.
"We encourage Newfoundlanders and Labradorians who support the principles and aims of our party to make a difference by either running for leader or participating in the delegate selection processes," Williams said. "People are eager to see the growth we have achieved as a province since 2003 continue."
PC party president Cillian Sheahan thanked Coleman for his participation in the process wished him and his family luck — Coleman cited family reasons for quitting.
Rules remain the same as those that governed the earlier leadership process.

The rules of conflict reporting are changing
On the icy-cold morning of February 22, 2012, Marie Colvin, a 58-year-old Irish-American reporter, was killed by the blast of a rocket in the Baba Amr neighborhood of Homs, Syria.
On the icy-cold morning of February 22, 2012, Marie Colvin, a 58-year-old Irish-American reporter, was killed by the blast of a rocket in the Baba Amr neighborhood of Homs, Syria.
New York, May 15, 2014--The eight-year prison term given today to a journalist in Azerbaijan is a breach of the country's declared commitments to press freedom, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. Parviz Hashimli is the editor of the independent news website Moderator and a reporter for the independent newspaper Bizim Yol.
New York, August 19, 2013--New York, August 19, 2013--Several journalists working for international media said they were assaulted or briefly detained over the weekend. The attacks and harassment came as Egyptian authorities publicly accused international journalists of distorting coverage of recent events.
Three weeks after France's military intervention in Mali, the war remains largely "without images and without facts," as described by Jean-Paul Mari, special envoy for the newsweekly Le Nouvel Observateur. Although journalists have been allowed to follow French and Malian forces into the towns that have been recovered from armed Islamist groups, the real battlefields and front lines remain off limits.
The French army is often called la Grande Muette, or "the Great Silent." The war in Mali confirms the French military's well-deserved reputation of being secretive about front-line actions. "Locking the information is more in the culture of the French army than of the U.S. army," says Maurice Botbol, director of La Lettre du Continent. In the first two weeks of military operations against Islamist militant groups in Mali, the French army has released only a blurry video of an air attack at an undisclosed location.
Syria and Libya were the main themes at the 19th edition of the Bayeux-Calvados Prize for War Correspondents, which took place this weekend in the historical city of Bayeux, a few miles away from the Normandy beaches where Allied forces landed in June 1944 to liberate Europe from the Nazi yoke.
The killing on January 11 of a French TV reporter has sent a chill through the international press corps trying to cover the violence in Syria. Gilles Jacquier, 43, who was on assignment for the French public service channel France 2, was a seasoned journalist and the laureate of France's most prestigious journalism prizes. As a special reporter for "Envoyé special," France's equivalent of "60 Minutes," he had covered dozens of wars, from Kosovo to Afghanistan, and was considered one of the most professional French war correspondents.
New York, January 11, 2012--French TV journalist Gilles Jacquier was killed on Wednesday in the Syrian city of Homs, according to news reports. Jacquier is the first foreign journalist killed in Syria since the 10-month uprising began.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

April 2004
Authors: Kim Barber, Christina Calavano, Janice Carter, Elizabeth Harac
Interviewer: Diane Dallis
"Competitive Core Research Skills" is an online class created by librarians at Golden Gate University (GGU) in San Francisco. The class was designed to teach students some basic information literacy concepts such as selecting appropriate sources of information to meet the requirements of a project or assignment, critically evaluating sources of information, and applying existing information sources to course projects and papers. The tutorial is delivered through "CyberCampus", the GGU asynchronous online course environment.
Interview with tutorial author:
Q: What was the motivation for creating CORE?
A: There were two main reasons:
First, aside from the main campus in San Francisco, the library supports Golden Gate University's four main regional sites in Northern California and the University's CyberCampus. Before the development of the cyber course, our instruction program was challenged to reach our regional and cyber students for in class instruction sessions. We really wanted to create a course that would allow students to access a research tutorial when they needed it most, regardless of their location.
Secondly, we conducted a brief faculty survey to gauge the need and significance of these skill sets for our students. The survey results indicated that students needed improvement on their foundational research skills.
Our online research skills course provides students with an engaging, accessible and accurate method of instruction for students to gain foundational research skills on their own (24 hours a day). Additionally the course provides discussion sections where students can post questions and receive answers online from research librarians.
Q: How long did the entire creation process take?
A: We started our planning in April 2003, and launched the course at the beginning of the Fall
Term in Sept. 2003.
Q: What were some of the technological challenges you faced?
A: Designing engaging content geared for the 56k user that would also display properly within:
- GGU's course building system
- Internet Explorer
- and Netscape Navigator
Q: What support, if any, did you get to assist you in the creation of the tutorial?
A: Our main support came from our partnership with the instructional designers at CyberCampus, which is a GGU in house department specializing in online pedagogy and instructional technology. The library staff supplied the content and the theme of the course. The instructional designers created interactive online activities, structured the flow of the content and presented the material in a visually appealing way.
At the beginning, we surveyed faculty regarding need for the course. After the first draft of content was finished, faculty and students (motivated by a pizza party) provided valuable user testing. We made changes to the course based on their feedback.
Q: What technologies did you use to create the tutorial and how did you choose them?
A: We chose to use the following instructional technologies as they offered compatibility for both browsers and were also low in file size:
1. Animated .gifs
2. Flash movie and quiz
3. Audio
4. Rollovers
5. Quia (an affordable online service which offers many well designed educational templates available at http://www.quia.com)
6. Instructional graphics
7. Java Script self-scoring quizzes
8. .pdf Worksheets
9. Discussion Threads
10. Pop-up windows
Q: Are there other technologies that you considered?
A: Voice over Powerpoint (Impatica), an animated computer screen capture program
(Camtasia) and Real audio
Q: How has the CORE contributed to or influenced your library instructional services?
A: The course has contributed to our instruction program by making the library and its resources more visible to our users, including faculty. In addition to being used by remote users, it has been used in the in-person sessions. Faculty can recommend that students in their classes complete one, two, three or all four modules. Students can choose to complete or review individual modules, based on their own needs. We are no longer limited to the scarce time that instructors can provide in classes for research instruction, and we can reach students "at the teachable moment."
The course is becoming an integral tool in the University-wide campaign to promote quality research and academic integrity. Faculty are encouraged to see the CORE modules as resources to which they can refer students for clarification on how to use and cite sources appropriately in their research, and how to avoid plagiarism.
The course gives the library an attractive, engaging presence in CyberCampus. The instructional designers created a Flash video with a doctoral student talking about the professional and academic benefits he gained, by working with the librarians. The video sets the context for the course, presenting it as an important tool for students' academic and professional success.
We now, too, extend lessons we learned working with the instructional designers to our other instructional resources and activities. We try to start any project by thinking about what is in it for the students, from their perspective, and how we can best "market" our services and resources to them. We are now beginning to include more visuals in our research road maps to address the needs of visual learners and to make our handouts less text-heavy and more inviting. These are just examples. Working with the instructional designers has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for us.
Q: Are site usage statistics collected? If yes, how are these statistics collected and how are they used?
A: Yes. eCollege, GGU's online course platform vendor, offers a User Activity report that is available to the librarians.
eCollege's user activity software only tracks and records the number of minutes that a user logs into and stays online connected to various sections of an eCollege course.
We are still working out ways to track statistics most effectively. CyberCampus has provided us usage tracking report figures indicating that the course is far more popular than we ever would have imagined. Once we begin to fine tune how we collect statistics on CORE usage, we may be able to see which programs we are reaching and which we are not. Combined with feedback from faculty and students, the statistics can, over time, help us determine how to refine the course. The ongoing process of needs assessment, development, evaluation, and revision will help the course--and us-- evolve over time.
Our usage statistics, displayed in graph form below, have been included to display our course activity to date:

Several years ago a two-bit self-admitted mob associate whom I knew in New York City allegedly arranged a murder-for-hire against me.
The individual had been employed as a barback in gay bars which he claimed were run by the Mafia, and later became involved with a supposedly mobbed-up tranny brothel which advertised in the back pages of The Village Voice. Indeed, I have documents establishing his expressly-acknowledged "off the books" employment ("$25 plus 15% of the tips" a night, and "a dollar off all drinks when I'm off duty") in 1997 at two specifically-named downtown gay watering holes which presumably involved violations of the tax and labor laws, and an April 13, 1997 letter by him which reveals a "fantasy" which hopefully always remained no more than that:
I do not understand certain things about myself -- for instance -- I like working at my sleep-away camp and I enjoy working with the kids. But I always feel uncomfortable around them when an authority figure is around. Its like I'm afraid that the authorities are gonna think that I'm some kinda pervert. But that is just me projecting my thoughts onto others. I don't know why but I think deep down I think I'm a perv. But I would never do anything to hurt a child -- I don't even have the desire. I think the youngest age I'd be attracted to is 14. But thats just like fantasy.
(Curiously, "would," "never" and "but" are among the "eight words that most liars use" according to lie detection expert Janine Driver.)
I had known him on and off during the late 1990s and into 2001 or 2002 but broke off contact after becoming increasingly uncomfortable with his gradual descent into the dark underbelly of gay culture. Apparently, my decision to cut him out of my life and my knowledge of his self-described mobbed-up livelihood was a combination which apparently drove him mad enough to want me dead.
For a couple of years I faced only intermittent harassment which I generally ignored although once or twice I filed a complaint with the NYPD when his behavior got out of hand. Eventually the harassment escalated to the point that it allegedly had infected my place of employment at Milberg Weiss -- a politically well-connected plaintiffs' class action law firm which was then having its own problems with federal prosecutors -- and resulted in the murder-for-hire contract.
I learned about the alleged plot from a class action lawyer from Chicago, IL who had invited me out to dinner on one of his business trips to New York City in February 2006. He uncomfortably told me over dinner on Feb. 22 that the threat had taken root about a year earlier, and since had been squashed through the intervention of a NYC class action lawyer with whom I was friendly.
Even though my life apparently had been saved I was livid upon learning the news, and wanted to bring the case to law enforcement. Indeed, on Feb. 26 I fired off an email to the attorney who had informed of the supposed plot in which I stated "wherever Andrew James Roffman is today -- his [alleged] mafia connections notwithstanding -- I hope that the feds get him." However, when I broached the topic with the lawyer who supposedly intervened on my behalf I was told in no uncertain terms to keep quiet. Indeed, his law partner who had self-admitted ties to the proverbial old neighborhood stated: "The mob may no longer own complete precincts but they still own some cops and prosecutors, and you can't just tell them f*ck you."
When I was stewing about the events to another attorney from the plaintiffs' class action bar he replied back to me in a May 24, 2006 email: "My choice is for you to walk away from this and I hope you stick to that path." He later warned me that if I took any legal action against the individual who allegedly put out the contract on my life he and those protecting him would make stuff up against me in a countersuit: "Making something up...yes that could happen because people do sh*t."
Frankly, I never understood why so many people seemingly wanted to protect an individual who allegedly took steps to see me dead, and I only can presume that he must have something on someone.

nd posting a pic as such is not only completely disrespectful to the child
quote:Where did you read my mention of him in the OP.
Like I said, using a leukemia patient as troll bait.
quote:That's a sad commentary as well.
I haven't read all the posts, but I wonder how many that are calling out the crowd for leaving early were even there? The crowd was pathetic, I ate two tickets I couldn't give away, tailgating was Towson-like, etc. Yes, some of it was the blue hairs migrating off their primo seats on the west sideline early, and there were a bunch of no-shows in all parts of the stadium, but if anyone comes in here and whines about not having access to tickets and how the fans going these days have ruined Tiger Stadium, I will call BS to their face.
quote:Why didn't I give him my house?
why didnt you just buy them the best tickets available?
quote:He wasn't in town. I took my Dad.
Why didn't you give him tickets to Alabama?
quote:Last leg?
Seems to me of the kid is on his last leg
quote:Should I liquidate all my assets and give it to him?
be a little more generous than just giving him your regular seats.
quote:Great job!
I bought and paid for the ticket. I leave when I damn well please.
I made $1,800 during the amount of time I took a shite at work today. If that amount really concerns you, then you have bigger fish to fry brah

Journalists killed: Inside the numbers
CPJ today released its annual tally of the journalists killed around the world. This is always a somber occasion for us as we chronicle the grim toll, remember friends who have been lost, and recommit ourselves to justice. It's also a time when we are asked questions about our research and why our numbers are different - invariably lower - than other organizations.

Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy
*Synthetic clothing dries quickly and is the best choice for outdoor pursuits. Please do not wear cotton clothing. When wet, cotton rapidly robs the heat from your body and takes a long time to dry. We also recommend you dress in multiple layers, allowing you more flexibility to comfortably respond to the weather conditions and your level of exertion.
Please call ahead if you plan to use your own equipment as it must pass inspection by L.L.Bean staff before use. If it's deemed unsuitable, we will provide you with the necessary equipment.
