If diphtheria is suspected in a patient, prompt treatment should be undertaken even before confirmatory lab results are available. Patients should also be placed in isolation to prevent further transmission of the disease. Diphtheria antitoxin is the mainstay of therapy. It neutralizes circulating diphtheria toxin and reduces the progression of the disease. The effectiveness of diphtheria antitoxin is greatest if it is administered early in the course of the disease. The CDC can assist in obtaining the diphtheria antitoxin. Antitoxin is not recommended for asymptomatic carriers and it is usually of no value in localized cutaneous diphtheria. Antibiotics should also be administered as soon as possible to patients with suspected diphtheria. Antibiotics help eradicate the bacteria, thereby stopping toxin production, and they also help to prevent transmission of diphtheria to close contacts. Penicillin and erythromycin are the recommended antibiotics. Asymptomatic carriers, as well as all close contacts potentially exposed to diphtheria, also require antibiotic treatment. Affected individuals are usually not contagious after 48 hours of antibiotic administration. Supportive measures, such as inserting a breathing tube (intubation), may be necessary if the patient cannot breathe on their own or if there is the potential for airway obstruction. Potential cardiac and neurologic complications also need to be closely followed and addressed in consultation with the proper specialist.

Let me say one thing straight out: My picture book, GHOST IN THE HOUSE, is very close to my heart. Of my published picture books, it's the one that's gotten the most visibility so far, including a fabulous review in the New York Times, several "Best of the Year" roundups, and a pickup by the Scholastic Clubs and Fairs. Needless to say, these small joys absolutely thrilled me.
But also? I have to be honest: They surprised me a little. Those of you who have heard me speak about GHOST IN THE HOUSE will have heard how it came about: Following the rejection of another Halloween manuscript, an editor asked if I "had any other spooky rhyming picture books." At that moment, I did not. Several weeks, much brainstorming, and a torrent of writing later, I did.
Don't get me wrong. I worked hard on GHOST IN THE HOUSE. But compared to many of my picture book texts, over which I toiled ad infinitum, this text came relatively easy. The end result also felt, well, simple. It was a sweet, zippy rhyming story. Short and to the point. Fun characters, neat twist. But when lined up against my other laboriously crafted stories—and, in particular, the one it had originally supplanted—it felt uncomfortably ordinary.
Still, someone wanted to publish my picture book! Joy!
In the months following publication, I gained more respect for my modest little manuscript. But it took one final thing to bring me fully around. And that was this: One day I received an email from my editor at Candlewick, asking what I would think about writing a companion book. It might, she suggested, be called ELF IN THE HOUSE.
Well! Ask no further—I was on it. GHOST was just a simple, puny little story, right? I could crank out another one of those in a flash. No worries!
Instead? I hit the blank page. Hard.
Frustrated at my false starts, I sat down and listed the elements that made up GHOST IN THE HOUSE, so I could attempt to replicate them (in a perfectly organic, all-new-and-fresh way, with a Christmas spin) in the sequel. Here's what I needed:
- recognizable creatures
- a reason for the creatures to accumulate
- tension—what's keeping the reader turning the pages?
- perfect fit to the rhyming scheme
- surprising twist
- satisfying, feel-good ending
Let's just say (if that list wasn't clear enough), that this exercise made me look at GHOST in a whole new light. Short? Yes. Simple-easy-basic-ordinary? Not so much.
Astute readers will likely have seen this coming, but ELF IN THE HOUSE did not come in a flash. More than once I doubted if I could pull it off at all. It took writing, and rewriting, and re-rewriting. Forget inspiration: This was deliberate, backbreaking effort: Lists and brainstorming and trial-and-error and throw-it-all-out-and-start-over. Time after time after time. I'd almost have it… but not quite. This angle might work… only not.
It did not come easy. Not even close.
But finally, in the end, it did come. And great was my delight when my editor received my final manuscript, and made a publication offer. (Woohoo!)
Once ELF IN THE HOUSE is published, I imagine most readers won't see much difference in tone between the two stories. From the outside, it's likely that they'll both appear effortless and breezy. But what this experience crystalized for me was that stories can be born in all sorts of ways. Some arrive on the magical wings of inspiration, landing lightly on your shoulder and seeping onto the screen with the greatest of ease. Others bare their bloody fangs and force you to wrestle them into submission.
One method, one origin, one final story is not necessarily greater than any other. We are authors: we take what we can get, and we make it our own. It's the making—however long or short, easy or gut-hard—that brings the magic.

Thanks for letting us peek into your two entirely different processes.
Whenever I have gotten to the end of anything I write and sigh, "oh, that just flowed so easily…" I know it is time to slog back through the blog and REALLY pick it apart…most times, I can find more than one thing that can make it better the second, third or 50th time around. Thanks for showing a ghost has a chance!!
Great insights! Once an author is successfully published, we like to think the writing process might be easier. You encourage each of us to keep writing. Thank you.
I loved this post! Thanks for the inspiration!
I love your description of the ease of completing one manuscript versus the challenge of another. Thanks.
Very interesting! Thank you!
So you've had a quick one and a tough one. If Goldilocks knows anything about anything, the next one should be just right. Turkey in the House? Bunny in the House? Cupid in the House? Congratulations and good luck. #notjealous #reallyjealous
Thanks for the honesty of this post. It's nice to hear that some books are more a labor-of-love than instant inspiration, even for published authors. Can't wait to read Elf in the House!
Sometimes the most magical of things are needy . . . but oh so worth it!
It"s the ying and yang of writing children's books and you have experience both sides. Thanks for the article….
Deliberate, determined effort leads to delight. I love a happy ending. Thank you!
Thanks for this. Ideas can be given,inspired or painstakingly created. Need to hang in there and simply begin.
Just goes to show that picture books are not as easy as they look.
My daughter, who writes middle grade novels, wrote her first pb last week and commented that it took her longer to write less than 500 words than it did to write 2000 words for her novels. Keeping it short and simple isn't as simple as it seems.
I loved hearing your two very different journeys for each book. Thank you for sharing, Ammi-Joan!

Anti-Christian killings suggest "religious cleansing" – Nigerian church leaders
Country/Region: Africa, Nigeria
"I was leading the congregation in prayers. Our eyes were closed when some gunmen stormed the church and opened fire on the congregation." Nigerian pastor Johnson Jauro
Intensifying anti-Christian killings in Nigeria suggest "systematic ethnic and religious cleansing", according to the country's church leaders, as the violence claims around 30 more lives.
Ayo Oritsejafor, President of the Christian Association of Nigeria
CC BY-SA 3.0 / Wikimedia Commons
Ayo Oritsejafor, head of the Christian Association of Nigeria, said on Saturday (7 January) that church leaders had held an emergency meeting about the escalating attacks, which, they concluded, are reminiscent of the run-up to the civil war of 1967-70. More than a million people were killed during that conflict.
Concerns of a repeat are growing following two further anti-Christian attacks, which come after militant Islamist group Boko Haram issued a three day ultimatum for Christians to leave the north.
At least eight Christians were killed when gunmen stormed a church in Gombe, capital of Gombe State, during a prayer meeting on Thursday night (5 January).
Pastor Johnson Jauro, whose wife was shot dead in the attack, said:
The attackers started shooting sporadically. They shot through the window of the church, and many people were killed including my wife. Many members who attended the church service were also injured.
The following day, around 20 Christians were gunned down in Mubi, Adamawa state, as they gathered to mourn the death of another Christian who had been killed the night before. The assailants chanted "god is great" as they fired Kalashnikov rifles. They were also carrying knives and machetes.
Then on Saturday night (7 January), three people believed to be Christians were shot dead in the north-eastern town of Biu.
A Boko Haram spokesman claimed responsibility for attacks following the three-day ultimatum, which expired on Wednesday (4 January).
The group was behind a series of attacks on churches and other targets in five states over Christmas that left more than 40 people dead and prompted President Goodluck Jonathan to declare a state of emergency in the most troubled areas.
Boko Haram is fighting to create an Islamic state and impose sharia law. The group has been responsible for more than 500 deaths over the last year.
Nigeria is descending into further chaos, with widespread protests over the government's removal of a fuel subsidy that has resulted in petrol prices more than doubling.

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV)
"Come with the purpose of doing anything and everything that God wants you to do."
(This devotional is adapted from Rick Warren's Bible Study Methods.)
In God's eyes, why you do something is far more important than what you do.
On one occasion God told Samuel, "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart" (1 Samuel 16:7). It is quite possible to do the right thing but with the wrong attitude.
This was Amaziah's problem, for "he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but not wholeheartedly" (2 Chronicles 25:2).
When you come to meet with God in a quiet time, come with --
Would you like to become all God intended you to be? God is in the business of changing lives and He wants to transform you into the person He created you to be-with more love, more faith, and an eternal purpose. Thousands of people have personally shared how their lives have been transformed by Pastor Rick Warren's powerful teaching so we put together a six CD collection of his most requested sermons. These are sermons you'll want to listen to more than once and to share with your friends and family members.
In this broadcast, Pastor Rick walks through the steps you can take when you're going through difficult times. God is using your dark and stressful times for good. He'll use them to teach you to trust him, to show you how to help others, and to draw you closer to other believers. To give in to your fears is a choice.

It turns out that Toni Morrison's famous line about Bill Clinton as "our first black president" was just a bon mot. If the Clintons took it as a sign of African-Americans' unconditional fealty, they were mistaken.
In case you missed this weekend's fireworks, Hillary Clinton went on "Meet the Press" and accused the Obama campaign of, among other things, distorting her Martin Luther King Jr. comments and agitating racial tension. Barack Obama dismissed the accusation as "ludicrous," because, he said, he hadn't even commented on Clinton's remarks.
Ronald Reagan may be dead, but he's running for president. At least he might as well be, given the nonstop competition among Republican candidates, captured here, to worship him.
By Mike Luckovich —
Hopefully, the results of the New Hampshire primary will eliminate the words hope and change from his presidential campaign. Maybe I am too cynical or too old or too disillusioned from being burned by past failed crusades. But words and elevated oratory are not enough for me.
Just how sick is the U.S. economy? Just how deep is the divide between the super-rich and the rest of us? Just how bad would a meltdown of our political economy be? And what, if anything, can be done about it?
Pollsters and pundits were quick to discount race and the so-called Bradley effect as factors in Barack Obama's narrow loss to Hillary Clinton in the New Hampshire primary. Given that the same pollsters and pundits (OK, me too) were so wrong about the outcome, I think we ought to take a closer look.
This real-life regular guy is forthrightly emphasizing the issue of class in America—which makes the Establishment mighty uncomfortable but invigorates the presidential campaign.
If there's a reason women came out to support Hillary in New Hampshire, it might be the unabashed sexism she has had to endure.
Within the voting booths, many female voters in New Hampshire could not deny that the senator was a survivor of the societal battles that had scarred them over the decades.
By Mr. Fish —
Maybe the signs pointing to Hillary Clinton's victory in the New Hampshire primary were there all along, hidden in plain sight by the blur of Obamamania and a stack of flawed polls.

"I found my own voice," Hillary Clinton said in her New Hampshire victory speech, admitting to more than just a bumpy campaign. Instead, she appeared to be pointing at the stilted rhetoric and focus-grouping that have plagued her run for president. With Iowa and New Hampshire behind her, the senator's campaign promise, it seems, is to speak from the heart.
Antonio Neri Licón, Milenio, Mexico —
Hillary Clinton may have unintentionally written the obituary for the Iowa and New Hampshire phase of her presidential campaign, and perhaps her candidacy, when she told voters on Sunday: "You campaign in poetry, but you govern in prose."
Barack Obama's determination to unite Americans and his strong electoral showing in Iowa, fueled in no small part by independents, have taken the wind out of Michael Bloomberg's sails. The New York mayor has been, by some accounts, considering an independent run for president, but now there just doesn't seem to be much of a point.
Why isn't Dennis Kucinich treated as a viable candidate? Because, Hedges argues, it's all too easy for the comfortable to dismiss him.

Truthdig columnist Chris Hedges sits down with Dennis Kucinich to get his thoughts on the campaign, corporate America, the state of our democracy and more.
Two new polls show Barack Obama building on his Iowa win with a double digit lead in New Hampshire. Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, has personally seized the reins of her campaign, determined to push the talking point she debuted at Saturday's debate—that she can deliver on Obama's promise of change.
It was one of those moments that give you goose bumps—the cheering crowd, the waving placards, the candidate and his family looking Kennedyesque on the occasion of a stunning victory. Barack Obama took the stage Thursday night in Des Moines and proclaimed his vindication of hope: "They said this day would never come. They said our sights were set too high."
ABC News has announced that Democrats Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel (above) and Republican Duncan Hunter failed to meet its benchmarks and will not be allowed to participate in Saturday's New Hampshire debate. On the Democratic side, that leaves four candidates in the debate; Joe Biden and Chris Dodd dropped out of the race after poor showings in Iowa.
Just as the Iowa caucuses were hitting their boiling point, Truthdig's indefatigable campaign correspondent Bill Boyarsky high-tailed it to New Hampshire to check out the next electoral battleground. Here he takes stock of the frenetic scene he just left and looks to the future of political reporting.
Three new memoirs by veterans of the New Left provide nuance and complexity to a tumultuous decade whose political and cultural legacy is still contested. Bonus points to those who can answer the question: Do you still need a Weatherman to know which way the wind blows?
I've said it before, but it bears repeating: People in Washington really should get out more.
AP photo / M. Spencer Green
Barack Obama is the runaway winner of the Iowa caucuses. What began as a virtual tie between the major candidates on election night quickly turned into a decisive victory for Obama. Hillary Clinton, who has frequently touted her electability, came in a close third behind John Edwards.
Rudy Giuliani has made much of his time as mayor of New York, but a growing number of his former lieutenants are speaking out about his dictatorial ways. As one former city commissioner put it: "People used to say that if Mayor Koch said, 'Let's kill all 12-year-olds, everyone working around him would freely tell him, 'You're crazy,' but if Mayor Giuliani said it, then everyone would say, 'Brilliant, Rudy! Have you thought of killing 13-year-olds, too?' "
If we seemed doomed to refight the battles from eight years ago, perhaps it's because Al Gore's warnings about a Bush presidency turned out to be so prescient.
Our next leader will have a huge task: to repair the worldwide damage done to the nation's image and its foreign policy interests over the past seven years. Americans must choose well.
If you had seen the candidate perform Saturday at the public library in Washington, Iowa, you'd understand how he made all that money as a trial lawyer.

From Hillary Clinton to Mitt Romney, the candidates have no shortage of solutions for the Iraq mess, but their shallow rhetoric reveals an ignorance of the increasingly fractured and disastrous reality.
A new collection of letters between the fascinating Mitford sisters offers unparalleled insight into one of the 20th century's most famous families.
Now, a handful of states have disproportionate power to determine our national path in presidential elections. But a remedy is available.
Since this is the list-making time of year, allow me to add a tiny trophy to Al Gore's very full shelf: the prize for the most elegant speech of 2007.
Hope is an overused word and an underrated virtue. We "hope" for all kinds of things, from the trivial to the profound. But hope is both a habit and a discipline. It is an orientation toward the future based on the conviction that we live in an ultimately trustworthy universe.

Mike Huckabee represents a new and potent force in American politics, and the neocons and corporate elite, who once viewed the yahoos of the Christian right as the useful idiots, are now confronted with the fact that they themselves are the ones who have been taken for a ride.
With religious passions inflaming and complicating politics worldwide, the very project of a secular future is threatened. In "The Stillborn God," Mark Lilla reveals the roots of the age-old quest to bring political life under God's authority. He also explores how modern Western thinkers found a way to free politics from theological power and build barriers against destructive religious fanaticism.
The rise of the Baptist minister—an "evangelical populist"—has put the fear of God into the Republican establishment.
Sen. Clinton has had some campaign setbacks, but the notion that she's in a tailspin is baloney.
News flash: Hillary Clinton has crow's-feet. Now let's all thank Rush Limbaugh for giving us another clear view of the double standard on the campaign highway.
By Mark Fiore —
Of all the upsets that can sour a holiday season—pinched wallets, contaminated toys, sugar overload and overbearing in-laws—is there anything that can dull the spirit like a presidential primary season unfolding in its midst?
original: thewe.cc
It's perhaps the biggest single-day take in campaign history: $6 million raised in one day by Ron Paul supporters not affiliated with the campaign. The so-called "money bomb" was scheduled to coincide with the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party.
Sen. Joseph Lieberman, a self-described "Independent Democrat," is expected to turn his back on the Democratic candidates to endorse John McCain for president. It's a fitting move for the George Bush apologist, who was rejected by the primary voters of his own party for his unabashed support of the war.
In the first of a new Truthdig series on religion and politics, the Rev. Madison Shockley analyzes Mitt Romney's recent landmark speech and finds that America's most famous Mormon is trying to have it both ways.
Some killers apparently were able to get out of prison by letting then-Gov. Huckabee know they had "found Jesus." The terrible aftermath may say something important about the presidential candidate.
Hillary Clinton's New Hampshire campaign co-chair issued a sleazy attack on Barack Obama on Wednesday, which he tried to pass off as an exploration of "openings for Republican dirty tricks." It's a tactic we're likely to see more of as the candidates jockey for position and one-time front-runners get desperate.
The candidate who has gone from microscopic numbers to front-runner status is starting to feel the heat, but Mike Huckabee would rather suffer the slings and arrows of his opponents' attacks than go back to toiling away in conservative obscurity: "It's almost like 'take your best shot, people.' " Now if the marginalized Democratic candidates could replicate Huckabee's success, we'd have an exciting race on our hands.
The Onion pokes fun at the nonsense issues, costume pageantry and theatrical pandering that have taken over the American electoral process.

The only thing that is puzzling about the entire expansion is that it feels like this should have been included with the original game. The U-DRIVE-IT feature is one of the best things included with this expansion.
Takes the next step by adding such useful features that you'll wonder why they weren't in the original game.
The all-new vehicle mode has its quirks, but otherwise it's a great addition to the gameplay.
The new focus on transportation adds substantially to an already excellent game experience.
I have mixed feeling about whether anyone should have to pay for features that should have been included in the original release and have already been included in countless patches.
All the features put together make a fun addition to SimCity, but only because the expansion packs in so many different additions to the game.
Rush Hour makes it a better game, but it's still missing something that past editions delivered, the feeling you could create whatever you wanted. [Jan 2004, p.78]

May 24, 2011To date, this is my second favorite PC game. It gives you the ability to govern how you city will look in a way not previously seen in the sim series while at the same time allowing you to simply zone areas if you prefer. The transportation system adds another element to the game which is quite fun to work on while your city is developing. Furthermore, the mods available are excellent.

Apr 14, 2014SimCity 4 is a great game. However, to be honest, Rush Hour doesn't look like a serious and sincere expansion pack. Newly-introduced mechanisms are mostly trivial. "Drive by yourself" system looks more like cheating as you can gain massive money and mayor point in 5 minutes, for almost nothing. Nowadays as SimCity is being released as a deluxe edition it's fine. But I have to say it's so typical EA expansion that it doesn't deserve a high score.… Expand

Mario Williams: "It's looking good" regarding Bills & Anderson
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Mar 21 2012 1:02PM
Take from this what you will but the newest Buffalo Bills player has shared some good feelings about the team potentially bringing in another piece to the defensive line.
Mario Williams answers questions to some of his fans on Twitter, and dropped an interesting little nugget of information one of his followers.
When asked about trying to get unrestricted free agent defensive end Mark Anderson to sign with Buffalo, Williams (a former teammate of Anderson's in Houston), responded with the following message:
"@bbwolf90: @BobAnastasia just talked to him. It's looking good"
Perhaps things are looking up in the Bills search to have one of the best defensive lines in the NFL.

The Monte-Carlo Opera is playing host to Verdi's work from 25 January to 3 February
Censorship, both official and moral, was a constant companion in the life of Giuseppe Verdi. In general, censorship was directed at the political topics that this composer from Busseto addressed – the assassination of a king on stage (Un Ballo in Maschera), the reprehensible conduct of another monarch (François I, who became the Duke of Mantua in Rigoletto) and the numerous veiled calls to revolt against Austria found in his youthful works.
But it was never so intimate as for La Traviata ("The Fallen Woman") – at the time, Verdi was sharing his life with Giuseppina Strepponi, who starred in the role of Abigaille in Nabucco, an unmarried young mother with an eventful past, and had to face humiliation and rejection by a right-thinking bourgeoisie. It is difficult not to link this story with the Parisian courtesan who renounced love so as not to harm the reputation of her "in-laws." Struck down by tuberculosis, she dies in utter destitution, providing the pathos expected in 19th century melodrama.
La Traviata is universally recognised as one of the major operatic works, and, above all, the loveliest musical portrayal of the basic theme of Romanticism: sacrifice for love.
Since 22 January 1881, the Monte-Carlo Opera has played host to no less than thirty-three performers in the title role – from Adelina Patti, Marcella Sembrich, Nellie Melba, Claudia Muzio, Renata Tebaldi, Anna Moffo, Virginia Zeani to Angela Gheorghiu (in a tour of Japan).
These performances of La Traviata will inaugurate the Monte-Carlo Opera's tribute to Giuseppe Verdi on the occasion of the bicentenary of his birth - a tribute that will continue until April 2013, when there will be in-house performance of Stiffelio.

I want to say that Shadowrun is the only game that does it.
It would have to be games for windows live, but they didn't do it since because PC players were beating xbox players because of control differences. That and shadowrun wasn't that good.

The New York Mercantile Exchange (Nymex) will begin trading the first uranium futures contract on May 7.The cash-settled contract will be available on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's Globex and Nymex's Clearpoint electronic platforms. The contract size will be 250 pounds, and it will be listed for 36 consecutive months.
Nymex chairman Richard Schaeffer said of the launch: "We are excited to introduce uranium futures contracts and to provide the industry with a transparent price-discovery mechanism."
Uranium is not currently traded on any exchange, and spot prices based on industry contracts have surged in recent years, from a low of $7 per pound of uranium oxide in 2001 to $113 this month, according to Jonathan Hinze, director of international markets and data analysis at Roswell, Georgia-based Ux Consulting, which calculates a benchmark weekly price. Nymex has signed a 10-year deal with Ux Consulting to price the new contracts.
This contract will offer hedge funds and institutional investors a way to hedge against rising uranium prices in the face of growing demand from nuclear power stations. "Hedge funds became interested in 2004 and currently hold 20 million pounds of uranium. This properly regulated futures contract should offer price transparency and a better understanding of hedge funds' role in this market," said Hinze.

State Police urge motorists to remember Move Over law
Staff Report
PECATONICA, Ill. — Illinois State Police (ISP) District 16 Commander, Captain James Alexander, is reminding motorists to be alert for emergency vehicles as they plan their holiday travels throughout the rest of the holiday season and new year, and obey the Move Over law.
"During the past several years in District 16, we have had numerous squad cars damaged and several troopers injured because of motorists violating the Move Over law," Alexander said.
The Move Over law, also known as Scott's Law, mandates that upon approaching a stationary authorized emergency vehicle displaying flashing warning lights, a person who drives an approaching vehicle shall yield the right-of-way by making a lane change if it is safe to do so. The driver shall reduce their speed and proceed with caution if changing lanes would be impossible or unsafe.
Penalties for violating Scott's Law can include fines up to $10,000 and a two-year suspension of driving privileges.
"Motorists should be aware that any vehicle authorized to use oscillating, rotating or flashing lights is considered an emergency vehicle under Scott's Law," said ISP District 16 Lt. Todd Rohlwing. "Scott's Law is named after Lt. Scott Gillen of the Chicago Fire Department who was struck and killed by a vehicle while working at a crash scene.
"Sadly, the ISP lost a member of our family when Trooper Kyle Deatherage was struck and killed by a truck tractor semi-trailer earlier last week near Litchfield," Rohlwing added.
Alexander said: "With extra traffic on the roads this holiday season, there is an increased potential for crashes. Motorists need to pay extra attention to their driving and surroundings, not only to keep themselves safe, but to help protect those who help protect you."

Sep 4, 2011This suffers a major problem that many strategy and puzzle games suffer...
Similar to Starcraft and other RTS' many of the puzzles are dominated by the 'best' players, it only makes sense doesn't it? Well that's the problem, many of these elite players are merely the people who revise strategies.
For example, the person who clears the water fastest in bilging is the man who gets the over-the-top Donkey combo and learns how to pull atleast one each time, whereas the man who get's countless 5X5 combos and better will generally end up in good, at best.
PVP is similar as well in this aspect, sword fighting is not fluid, instead it is dominated by a series of strategies that will quickly put down those who don't memorise them.… Expand
Aug 17, 2010This game is the ultimate MMOPG (Massively Multiplayer Online PUZZLE game) even though it did take some bits and pieces from other games. At least the grind is minimal.
Sep 3, 2011I realized when I d/l'd from Steam that this was not an MMO, or action game. That was the reason for adding to my library. However, I did expect a user interface that was understandable, easy to navigate, and that wouldn't simply shut down when it felt like it. Apparently this was asking too much.
Aug 6, 2013Puzzle Pirates is not a bad game but man is it not good. The whole point of this game is to be the best pirate you can be. You have to join random pirate crew and do a puzzle that will help the ship move and eventually you will get paid for the job. That's all well or good but almost all the pirates puzzles are boring and not very fun. The whole idea is to be the best and trust me I am not going to play this game for more than over a hundred hours just to be really good a filling buckets of water and throwing them out of the ship. The only thing that I was really hoping to do was buy a ship, but there was no chance for me to because I will have to play more than three hundred hours just to afford a basic ship. For people like me however, they will go and play poker and just bet all there money away and will have to go do jobs because there broke. This is not a bad game its just ok, the graphics and music in the game are fine and the people on most of the servers are ok for people that just start playing the game. In the end its just me and my problems if you want to play this just ok game by all means go play it for me i'm going to go play Pokemon instead.… Expand
Sep 7, 2013Worst MMO I've ever played. Gave it 2 months and $40, and it just wants more. The game seems to be programmed to deliberately take your PoE so you need to keep swiping in that credit card. Typical Ubisoft garbage.
Jul 26, 2014It is FUN, and there is a real community feel about it :)
Do NOT SPEND MONEY - in less than a year it has been out of action for a LOOOOONNNNG period of time,twice! Last time it was out of action for about 5 days...it is now out of action 5 days and still counting!
(I have not counted minor times it has been down)
Its a shame really, because it is a fun game...but its reaction to technical glitches has a real cantbeassed hippy feel. Hippy was good in 1967....but this is the 21st century!… Expand
May 21, 2014This is an MMO puzzle game. It has very nice cartoony graphics and fun gameplay. Since it is a "kid" game, it also lacks the annoying trolls of most "free" games. I can't think of anything to complain about in this game. I love it!
The atmosphere more than makes up for any shortcomings in the visual department. Communication with other players is easy and the sense of community is quite refreshing.
The puzzles are very interesting and there is a form of leveling, albeit abstract. A pretty deep player economy is built in as well. The entire game is well put together, even if the graphics and sounds aren't of Galaxies caliber.
The graphics were an absolute delight, blatantly cartoon-y and so bright and colorful that my first sight of the game always made me smile.

Charge for still water and no bread [moved from Boston]
Should I be annoyed that Trade charged for still water and had no bread to wipe my plate clean? I asked for bread and I was told I could purchase flat bread. I passed on that politely. Then to my surprise I was charged for still water in a non commercial bottle.at a cost of 5$. I do not mind paying for still or with gas which are commercially sold, bot this was a reusable bottle filled with MWRA water. Shame on Jody for charging for water and bread. You I was at an extremely fine restaurant the evening before that did not charge for those items and in fact they gave ame a small taste of fortified Barolo with out me asking. I love Rialto , Jody 's other restaurant but I think the James Beard ward has gone to her head. Just asking if I am off base. Told the waiter and filled out a satisfaction card. Left my name
We recently had a huge shock eating at restaurants in Vienna...they charge you a ~5 Euro pp "table" charge for the linens, bread, silverware, etc! While I"m sure most purveyors here also work that charge into my meal, I'd rather have it done that way rather than charge a flat fee for just sitting down.
re: Science Chick
Table - Free of Charge
Chair - $5
re: Science Chick
I've seen table charges before, I think in Osaka.
re: Science Chick
But you generally don't tip, then, correct? At least, not the 15-20% expected in the U.S. I haven't been to Vienna, but in Italy, you pay the "coperto" when you sit down, but the tip is minimal..
re: Science Chick
The cost of bread, linens etc is bulit into the entree price. I do agree, it's better to incorporate those charges into the menu pricing rather than having separate charges, it may also effect how one tips.
re: Science Chick
Restaurants in France and Italy serve plain bread because it's used to sop up the sauces and dressings that are typical of those cuisines. A morsel of bread is used almost as much as a a fork. With those dishes there is really no need for fancy breads or butter or dipping oil. Bread and still water are included in the modest cover charge, but one is not required to leave a tip. Isn't there also a service charge?
Obviously ALL restaurants charge for water, and yes, for the right to sit at their tables and chairs and so forth. Most just don't see any need to make that explicit.
But $5 for a tap water seems so ridiculous and out-of-the-ordinary that I'm questioning whether or not I'm getting the full story here. Can anyone else who has eaten at Trade confirm that they charge you $5 for tap water? I'm skeptical that this is true.
I generally just indicate tap water is fine, versus still, to avoid any possible misconception that I am willing to pay for water. The restaurant could have had its own filter system or something of the sort, but personally, I trust MWRA water just fine. I would be very annoyed if you had to pay for any water at the table, even tap, though.
I think today more and more bread is never guaranteed - depends on the taste of the restaurant. And a lot of bread gets wasted if they automatically give it out. Finally, why fill up a patron with zero margin bread versus having them order an appetizer.
Scampo charges for bread, but its because they make all of it in house and have a tasty variety. I haven't been to Trade, but they several flatbreads on the menu which seem more pizza-ish than plain bread.
But if I want bread with my meal, I know where to go.. at the Olive Garden, if I wanted to, I can eat an infinite amount of breadsticks.. now that's a deal.. infinite!
.. .
re: grant.cook
Wait, aren't tap and still the same thing here? "Still" is opposed to "sparkling," not opposed to or different from "tap." OP seems to indicate that this was tap.
re: FinnFPM
Not necessarily.. they could have 5 gallon jugs of Poland Spring in the back that they use to fill their water containers. I ask for "tap" just to be clear that I don't want to pay for water. If you ask for "still," to me that opens the door for the restaurant to possibly charge you..
re: grant.cook
Hmm. You're probably right. OP does say that it was MWRA, but that could certainly be a false assumption. I do think there's reason to suspect the accuracy of a person who signs up for a message board solely to post a confusing, poorly-worded rant about feeling ripped off.
re: grant.cook
Fifty years ago I was reading an Archie Comic book. Archie takes Veronica out to dinner at a fancy restaurant. To stretch his funds, when asked by the waiter what he'd like to drink, Achie replied, I'll have a glass of water. The waiter replied "would you like the $1 glass or the $3 glass?'
Archie turns red in the face and sinks under the table.
Back then, The comic cost 12 cents, and a steak dinner was $4.95 in white linen restaurants.
re: bagelman01
Hahaha great one!
re: FinnFPM
IMO "still" and "sparkling" can apply to bottled water.
Tap is tap. If it's not in a commercial bottle it's tap in my book.
re: C. Hamster
And as many who buy water forget, most commercially bottled water is tap water too.
re: grant.cook
For decades, American restaurants have provided bread at no charge. And all along, it has been common for European restaurants to charge a small fee for such things (but, as the earlier poster noted, the expectation is that the diner will tip less). It is a bit odd to make it sound like it is an unusual expectation to have "complimentary" bread at a finer restaurant. This isn't a question of going to the Olive Garden if you want such things. If the OP has given us all the details, it is a question of why a restaurant has suddenly decided to charge for something that it is unusual to charge for at American restaurants. I think that is a totally reasonable question.
re: hckybg
Yes, often they did.. and I don't think its unusual to expect it based on prior experience, but its becoming more usual for restaurants not to automatically provide you a basket of bland food-service rolls with your dinner, or to actually put some craft into preparation of their breads and charge for them.
The OP was annoyed that he didn't have a gravy-sopper and commented on the service attitude of the owner after winning her "ward" I think that's harsh for a practice that not unusual these days.
The only true requirement for a restaurant is that Mexican places must give me chips and salsa..
re: grant.cook
Some better Mexican places have stopped the free chips and salsa thing too.
re: DagingKuda
No free chips and salsa at La Verdad.
re: grant.cook
"its becoming more usual for restaurants not to automatically provide you a basket of bland food-service rolls with your dinner",
I don't recall getting bread like this in ...well, I can't recall.
" or to actually put some craft into preparation of their breads"
Yeah, this is what they do.
"and charge for them"
No, no, not where I eat.
re: FrankJBN
List 'em off then.. I am not saying no restaurants ever give away good bread - L'impasto in Cambridge does that very thing, and it gets baked into the price somewhere else. But that a restaurant is under less and less pressure to put a complimentary basket of bread in front of you as part pf service, especially if it means adding baking to its kitchen activities.
And it makes less and less sense economically and for a diner- "here's some food you might or might not eat, and if you don't, we chuck in a garbage can, and if you do eat it, will fill you up before the actual food we care about shows up.."
Do you ever eat Indian btw? That free bread concept never made it anywhere near the tandoor..
re: grant.cook
Bondir has a very nice bread basket but do not charge for it. I guess I could see a place putting bread on the menu and charging if you order it--makes total sense. I'd be very miffed if a place put bread on the table and charged for it, or the same for water. But as others have pointed out, this post does seem a bit fishy so maybe we are all wasting our time on it.
re: hckybg
Good article on the topic -
re: mkfisher
I like places that ask if you want bread. In the olden days they'd just bring it. Now if you know you don't intend to eat a roll (though I'm often tempted) you can just pass on bread service altogether. And avoid throwing out all of that bread as it goes untouched.
re: redfish62
Perhaps.. the article I posted here speaking on this trend was from Tampa Bay.
re: katzzz
Some restaurants have installed those systems that filter and gas their water on site. They usually give the still or sparkling water for free. Nice touch.
re: olyolyy
No restaurant with any class charges for tap water. All restaurants build labor costs into their pricing. It is common in Europe to pay a table charge, but wait staff are professionals and paid reasonably and tipping is minimal (rounding the bill up to the the next couple of euros is common but nothing like the 20% typical here). Many good restaurants pride themselves on their bread and butter or olive oil and I'm sure those costs are counted in pricing entrees, which is a pleasanter approach than charging for what seems standard generosity (the provision of bread and water). I would not return to a restaurant that charged me for tap water.
re: teezeetoo
Then don't plan on eating in any restaurant in Copenhagen.
re: olyolyy
I can see in California where the expectations re water shift. But here in the municipalities served by the Quabbin Reservoir (the Mass. Water Resource Authority, but some of us might refer to it as "The Mayor's Best", as it were...) high quality tap water is not a scarce item; we have abundant fresh water naturally and usage is way down from a generation ago, et cet. In Boston, for a fine dining establishment to charge for tap water is for a restaurant to sign its death warrant; it's really beyond the pale. Trade is getting a bad rep for gilding its lily; that may attract people in, say, the Hamptons, but not as much here.
I guess when you are playing 10 to 14 $ for a small plate and the standard in the high restaurants is bread and water. Especially the night before I was in an equally regarded restaurant when they asked me if I wanted still or sparkling . I was not charged for still since it was in a pitcher. I guess I will ask if the still is on a bottle next time. With respect to bread I fully understand the issue with waste and have no problems asking for it but not to have it as an option is unusual . Hey I do go to restaurants for the bread but is nice to have it absorb the extras.
re: Exhossvmd
Yes--I would expect to see the bottle. In fact, most places will say explicity "Tap, still, or sparkling" and if people order "still", they expect to see the Panna bottle (or whatever) come out.
The new refillable bottles and water filtration/carbonation systems are becoming more common. I think the companies that sell the systems have been marketing hard in this area, touting the eco-friendly nature of thier product versus traditional bottled water.
To be fair, there are costs to restaurants who use this product. There is installation, equipment to buy/rent. The restaurants that use them will likely have stopped offering the Pellegrino or Voss or whatever they used to offer and there would certainly be some revenue lost there from making the switch.
But either way, I have seen this product offered at no cost and I have seen it offered at a cost in different places.
When offered still or sparkling water, I recomend ordering "ice water" or "tap water, no ice" or even "Boston water is fine by me".... This way it is clear that you are not anticipating any charge for your water.
I for one, would rather spend my money on food...
The departed Locke Ober had a "bread charge" of 50 cents or a $1/pp. I never questioned it or aked for no bread...just seemed like a holdover from another time.
OTOH..Trattoria Paninno in the NE charges for water (free bread, I think). I find it enough of a turnoff that I no longer eat there. Don't think this policy extends to other properties under the same mgmt.
re: 9lives
The no tap water policy at Il Paninno is ridiculous.
You know, I can see the bread thing. But charging for water like that is just cheap and tacky. And, honestly, shows a lack of hospitality, I think. Here, welcome to our restaurant! Thank you for joining us this evening! Here is the list of things we'll be charging you for that you don't expect! Bah.
They should offer branded still water or sparkling water as an understood charge, or house tap water for free. If they can't stand by their tap water, do you really want to eat the food they prepare with that tap water?
I remember an old debate here, some notion that some MA law required restaurants to serve tap water free of charge. Never heard an authoritative answer either way. Were I a betting man, I'd guess no such law exists.
I always thought Il Panino's practice of refusing to serve tap water, seling bottled only, was a little scummy, but there are many North End restaurants that employ worse clip-joint tactics, like charging for items not ordered, and pricing specials that aren't especially special at three times the price of entrees and not announcing the prices. (I make it a habit to always ask specials prices.)
I rarely order bottled water, and don't recall ever being charged for Quabbin water at Trade, but I haven't been back in a while. I do appreciate places like Russell House Tavern that offer local still or sparkling filtered water by default, free of charge.
My drink of choice 100% of the time is ice water with lemon. I have never once been charged for this although I would be willing to pay a charge ( not $5!!). I do know restaurants will charge if you want bottled water so maybe that's where the confusion lies.
Also..nothing in a restaurant is free. The cost of everything is built into the food cost and thus the cost of your meal. I rarely eat the bread in any restaurant ...with the exception of the Chateau. I suppose if I really liked the bread I wouldn't care about paying a little more for it.
I find the waste associated with bottled water abhorant. I order tap or iced on principal. I will pay for house filtered water. In this area they charge 1-2$ pp which I believe is reasonable especially when they refuse to serve other bottle water at 9$ etc. per bottle. I drink an obscene amount of water and feel like I have to curb my thirst when the head of a party orders bottled for the table.
