What if someone told you before last year's Bassmaster Classic we had a tool that would predict the exact Classic-winning pattern – and weight?
Emphasizing a deep commitment to their expanded product line, Simms Fishing Products is proud to announce the addition of professional bass angler Brandon Palaniuk to the Simms Pro Tournament Angler Staff.
Triton Boats and local Triton dealer Nichols Marine are partnering to host the 2013 Triton Classic Kickoff party.
Go behind the scenes with Elite Series pro David Smith to get a glimpse of the greatest trophy in fishing — the Bassmaster Classic trophy — as it is being assembled.
It's Bassmaster Classic time and I'm ready. I've spent the last month preparing diligently, working on my equipment and tackle and thinking about Grand Lake.
Mike McClelland says he is "flying under the radar" going into his ninth Bassmaster Classic. He could not be happier about that.
Fans will get to experience all the action for the Classic, whether they're in Tulsa or watching from home.
I'd like to say I'm ready to head out to the Bassmaster Classic, but I'm not.
Ask any Bassmaster Classic qualifier to describe why being in this particular tournament is cool. Most will come up something like this: "Well, it's the Classic, isn't it?"
I'm still in Florida getting ready to fish another tournament. That one should be over on Sunday. I'll fly home as soon as possible after that to get ready for the Classic.

Hu, PX; Zangeneh, M; Choo, B; Rahmati, M; (2006) Design of transonic fan rotors by 3D inverse design method. In: Proceedings of the ASME Turbo Expo 2006, Vol 6, Pts A and B. (pp. 447 - 458). AMER SOC MECHANICAL ENGINEERS
Full text not available from this repository.
The application of 3D inverse design to transonic fans can offer designers many advantages in terms of reduction in design time and providing a more direct means of using the insight obtained into flow physics from CFD computations directly in the design process. A number of papers on application of inverse design method to transonic fans have already been reported. However, in order to apply this approach in product design a number of issues need to be addressed. For example, how can the method be used to affect and control the fan rotor characteristics? The robustness of the method and its ability to deal with accurate representation of leading and trailing edges, as well as tip clearance flow.In this paper the further enhancement of the 3D viscous transonic inverse design code TURBOdesign-2 and its application to the re-design of NASA37 and NASA67 rotors will be described. In this inverse design method the blade geometry can be computed by the specification of the blade loading (meridional derivative of rV(theta)) or the pressure loading. In both cases the blade normal thickness is specified to ensure structural integrity of the design.Improvements to the code include implementation of full approximation storage (FAS) multigrid technique in the solver, which increases the speed of the computation. This method allows the modification of blade thickness and pressure loading by B-splines. In addition improvements have been made in the treatment of proper leading edge geometry.Two well known examples of NASA 67 and NASA 37 rotors are used to provide a step-by-step guide to the application of the method to the design of transonic fan rotors. Improved designs are validated by commercial CFD code CFX.

eBook Category: Mystery/Crime
eBook Description: Aubrey Brice knew someone wanted her dead, but why? Was it because of the accident that she had witnessed? Perhaps it had something to do with the mysterious woman in red. She had even come to suspect that her family was somehow entangled in the intrigue. Could she trust anyone? Certainly not the shrewd and disturbing claims adjuster, Gregory Sterling. Able to see no way out of her plight, Aubrey turns amateur detective in an effort to bring a murderer to justice.

"Lion in the Path is a well-written, emotional and fast-paced book that pits two seemingly unrelated stories together with one dramatic conclusion."--Dawn R. Reeves, The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers
Her day could not have started off on a more troubling note. As Aubrey Brice walked the long stretch of pavement leading up to the warehouse where she worked, her thoughts were consumed by what had caused her to be over two hours late. Anxiety had taken a costly toll on her already threadbare state of mind. Be that as it may, Aubrey felt compelled to make a showing at the office. The Talking Book Program, a division of the Texas State Library, was perhaps the most purposeful job that she had ever held. Still, morale had plummeted to an all-time low. For the past four months, an unusually short staff coupled with a total readjustment of operational procedures had caused everyone's workload to balloon to unreachable proportions.
Aubrey regretted arriving so late to work. Especially since "Little Hitler" was now one of her fellow senior clerks. Senior clerks were assigned leadership roles, and all were of equal footing, although Arnold did not quite see it that way. Of course, who should be the first person she sees when she entered the building?
Arnold (little because, at five foot five, he was a solid two inches shorter than Aubrey, and he outweighed her by less than fifty pounds) approached her and eyed his watch. He frowned and began rubbing a bald spot that was firmly entrenched at the back of his otherwise reddish-brown head. As usual, he carried his white coffee mug, which sported the logos of the Texas State Library and the State of Texas. Below them was printed: Texas State Library Service Award.
Aubrey frowned at him. She too had been honored with a service award for five years of faithful service at the State Library, and yet not once did she try to flaunt the honor, as did Arnold.
Everyday, all day long, he carries that cup around like it's an appendage.
Arnold Hitner glared at her with beady brown eyes. His negligible mustache wrinkled as he said, "You're late! Already 100 patrons have suffered because--"
Aubrey gave him a cool glance and said, "I've already called and informed Joel that I would be running late today, so shove off!"
Arnold's face flushed, and he raised a brow and took a posture that demanded further explanation. It was unlike Aubrey to lash back at him so readily, and he was all too curious as to her changed demeanor.
"What's wrong with you?" he queried.
"What's wrong?"
What's wrong is that I received a call at three a.m. this morning that Papa had to rush Ma-Mae to the hospital. What's wrong is the fact that I've spent all night at the hospital, scared witless because Ma-Mae fell and hurt herself again.
True, she was thankful that her Ma-Mae was doing well, but Aubrey now realized that the family could no longer afford the heavy cost of procrastination. Somehow, she and Mabrey and their Uncle Mitchell would have to raise the money needed to pay for the operation. Somehow, they would find a way.

On Saturday evening I had the privilege of attending the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) Awards presentation held at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. I must say it was humbling and exciting to see such amazing computer scientists all in one ballroom. These people have changed and continue changing the computer science field. It was also encouraging to see that there were many brilliant women there.
A friend, Larry Constantine, invited us to attend because he was being awarded ACM Technical Fellow for his many achievements in the computer software field. I was in charge of the camera so I hope the pictures came out! ;-)
The Turing Award (this is like the Nobel prize for computer science) was given to Edmund M. Clarke, E. Allen Emerson, and Joseph Sifakis "for their role in developing Model-Checking into a highly effective verification technology, widely adopted in the hardware and software industries."
Check out the many other award recipients here.

Dean Hall likes to be backstage
Public enemy No. 1: IT flaws
FBI officials are counting on the bureau's new Office of Information Technology Policy and Planning (OIPP) to tame the sort
of undisciplined IT spending that led the FBI to abandon its $170 million Virtual Case File system earlier this year.
OIPP officials now set IT policies, develop plans, oversee governance procedures and direct IT spending, said Sanjeev "Sonny" Bhagowalia, the office's acting assistant director. Their responsibility is to ensure that all IT spending supports the FBI's mission, he said.
For example, when the operations side declares its needs, OIPP will develop concept plans to meet them, Bhagowalia said. His office will then hand those blueprints to the new Office of IT Program Management. Led by Dean Hall, program management executive, that office will develop a workable solution and install it.
During the systems development process, the FBI's chief technology officer acts as a machete to hack through the jungle of possible products to find the best ones, Hall said.
OIPP's duties also include responding to audits by the Justice Department's inspector general and the congressional Government Accountability Office, Bhagowalia said. In the past, both agencies have criticized the FBI for lacking standard methods and governance procedures for developing enterprisewide IT systems.
OIPP officials also oversee the FBI's enterprise architecture, a set of documents created to prevent IT overspending, redundancy and misalignment with the agency's mission and needs, Bhagowalia said.
In addition, OIPP officials are overseeing an expansion of the FBI's governance process for IT spending and project management, he said. The FBI's new Life Cycle Management Directive is an enterprisewide framework for guaranteeing that the bureau's IT programs conform to the same policies.

Stem cells can help restore some function in injured rats with spinal cord damage, suggests a new study.
The team, led by Michael Fehlings at the Toronto Western Research Institute, Canada, used stem cells taken from mice brains. They injected a finely tuned cocktail of growth hormones, anti-inflammatory drugs and the cells into rats with crushed spines.
Although rats not given the stem cell treatment naturally regained some of their hind limb function two weeks after the injury, they were extremely uncoordinated. The stem cell treatment improved limb function, although it did not completely restore it.
The study is important, says Phillip Popovich at Ohio State University in Columbus, US. He notes that the special cocktail of growth hormones and anti-inflammatory compounds used in the rats could play a crucial role in making stem cell therapies work. However, he cautions that this type of approach might be difficult to administer to humans.
"I would think the biggest drawback is the complexity of the approach. From a logistical standpoint, instrumenting catheters and preparing cells for transplantation will be an expensive venture," he told New Scientist. "Patients aren't going to be given a pill or a shot."
In the US alone an estimated 8000 people sustain spinal cord injuries each year, primarily in traffic accidents. Much hope has been placed on developing new ways to treat spinal damage. But experts stress that further testing remains essential to understand the potential rewards and risks associated with novel approaches such as stem cell therapy.
Support cells
The team found that their special mix of growth hormones and anti-inflammatory compounds helped the transplanted cells survive once injected into the spine of the rats. The researchers labelled the cells with fluorescent markers so that they could trace the cells.
Overall about a third of the transplanted neural stem cells survived, and 80% of these remaining cells developed into oligodendrocytes - a type of cell that provides support for nerves. This high conversion rate is crucial, according to Fehlings, because oligodendrocytes can produce myelin, the insulating layer around nerve fibres that helps to transmit signals to the brain. Myelin production is disrupted by spinal cord injury.
The rats that received the stem cells showed better limb coordination than those that received only the cocktail of growth hormones and anti-inflammatory drugs or no treatment at all.
Crucial timing
Fehlings and his teammates also found that while 30% of the transplanted cells survived if the procedure took place two to three weeks after the rats suffered spinal cord damage, this number plummeted to 5% if the transplantation occurred between six and eight weeks after the injury.
This helps to illustrate why some other studies have only had success with stem cell therapies applied shortly after a tissue is damaged, says the team.
"Only a few days can make a big difference," agrees Moses Chao of the New York University School of Medicine, US. "I don't think that's necessarily expected."
Fehlings speculates that scarring that accumulates at the site of the wound over time may inhibit stem cells from working there if treatment is delayed.
The rats in this study sustained spinal cord damage from applied pressure, which the scientists say closely mimics the type of injury a person might suffer in an car accident. The stem cells also came from the brain of another animal, rather than from an embryo, making them less ethically problematic, according to the researchers.
Fehlings says that successful stem cell therapies for spinal cord injury remain years away. But he adds that medical understanding of these wounds is rapidly evolving: "Ninety percent of what we know about spinal cord injury has been learned in the past 10-15 years."

Never Swim in the Congo: Goliath Tigerfish

Habitat: Congo River in Africa
Status: No conservation concerns
Growing up to 5 feet and length and weighing in at over 150 pounds, the Goliath Tigerfish makes a piranha look like a guppy in comparison to this ferocious beast. Locals say it's the only fish that doesn't fear the crocodile, and will even devour some of the smaller ones! In rare instances, it's also been known to attack humans. *Gulp*
As if 32 teeth the size of a Great White Shark's weren't scary enough, this fish has incredible eyesight in murky water and can sense low-frequency vibrations emitted by prey. It has been observed going after 60 pound catfish and literally slicing them in half.
Check out this clip from the Discovery Channel's "River Monsters" where professional angler Jeremy Wade lands the fish after quite a struggle:

The Law School's Bernard and Audre Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice recently announced the online publication of "The Papers of George Lister: Mr. Human Rights."
George Lister served as a U.S. diplomat for more than sixty years. In the 1960s and early 1970s, he served in the State Department's Bureau of Inter-American Affairs. From the early 1980s until 2002, he worked in the human rights bureau where his work centered on the promotion of democracy in Latin America and on international human rights. He is particularly admired for his efforts to reshape the State Department's approach to human rights from the inside, largely through dialogue with members of opposition movements.
Following his death in 2004, the Lister family donated an extensive collection of his memos, speeches, newspaper articles, essays, and other documents to the University of Texas at Austin's Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection. Karen Engle, the W. H. Francis, Jr. Professor at the School of Law and Director of the Bernard and Audre Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice, recognized the importance of the collection and its value to scholars all over the world. With the support of a UTopia grant from the University of Texas General Libraries, she instigated a two-year collaborative project to make much of the collection available online, and to fortify it with the proceedings of an interdisciplinary conference the Rapoport Center hosted on the life and legacy of George Lister and interviews with people who knew and worked with George Lister, including a number of former Assistant Secretaries of State, She worked closely with National Public Radio Producer Tracy Wahl to produce the interviews, and with an interdisciplinary team of graduate and law students and Benson Collection archivist Christian Kelleher to put the papers on-line.

Thunderbrowse 3.82 breaks the Remote Content preference in Thunderbird e-mail client (31.6.0). Had to disable Thunderbrowse in order to get the remote content preference to work.
Unable to make changes to preferences Rated 1 out of 5 stars
I just installed this plugin (v3.82) in Thunderbird (v31.5.0) I see the plugin in my message pane and am able to navigate to websites. If I click to another tab (Add-ons Manager in this instance) and go back to my main tab that contains ThunderBrowse, my page is blank. Refreshing fixes this, but I was mid form, looking up info to fill. My main issue with the add on is that when I open the preferences for the add-on, I am able to make changes to settings, but the OK button does nothing. I am able to close the dialog, but obviously none of the changes are reflected.
Good Concept and Good Implementation Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Opening a page without opening firefox was my wish, and this addon delivered. Nice and useful addon.
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
To make a long story short: nice idea, maybe worked once, now (TB 31 on Linux) it's broken.
Great add-on Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Please add hotkeys feature.
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Unfortunately none of the option changes can be saved, the "OK" button can't be clicked (W7 and Debian GNU/Linux tested). Last version dates back almost 2 years so this is probably abandoned now.
Settings Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Nice add-on but same problem as the previous user has, won't change settings.This user has a previous review of this add-on.
I can't change setting Rated 4 out of 5 stars
I love thunderbrowse, but last update have a issue for me (using tb 31). In options windows, when change any setting, accept button don't work!!!
Convenient Rated 4 out of 5 stars
This saves a lot of time for quick looks. It doesn't play nice with addon SmoothWheel though so I switch to the browser if I want to read beyond the fold. If it allowed Smoothwheel settings to control my scrolling, I'd give it a 5.
Slowed me down Rated 2 out of 5 stars
It works well enough, although I'd like to see both more browser functionality built-in (e.g., ability to use Diigo toolbar) and an easier way to choose between viewing in a TB tab vs a browser tab.
But before I disabled this add-on, TB was using over 100% of available CPU cycles. And boy! Was my computer running hot! I disabled the app, and now TB is mainly using about 25% of CPU cycles.
Similar problems have been reported for a similar app, WebApp Tabs: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/webapp-tabs/.
sweet and yet, meh. Rated 4 out of 5 stars
I rely enjoy this add-on. It's hard to understand at first but after a while I eventually got the hang of it. This add-on is a must have.
On the other hand, they could have done a bit more to make it friendlier to use and the icons are quite large in my opinion.
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Good one!

botched execution
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
This is really, really good. Saves me loads of time and effort I spent juggling tabs in Firefox. Give it a week. You'll love it.
Unable to Uninstall Rated 1 out of 5 stars
*Unable to uninstall. Embedded links do not work anymore. May have to bring my MacBook to service center for help. I did not like the comment by the developer that "It wasn't our fault that you didn't read the FAQ's when installing."
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Meh. I tried this add-on, and I fail to see the need for it since it doesn't add to the message viewability. I click a link in an email, and it opens in my default browser, no problems.
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
It is a nice Tool but not safty!
Working version 3.82 + Suggestions Rated 4 out of 5 stars
tb 16.0 FIX = Download Thunderbrowse v3.82 by scrolling to bottom of page, expanding version-info, and then clicking "see all versions".
2 suggestions for the developer:
1) Enable option to open a new thunderBIRD tab... that has no message content, only thunderbrowse content. Currently, if you have multiple thunderbrowse tabs open, you CAN'T close the original message-tab.
2) Utilize the above method to have thunderBIRD tab A) open with 5 thunderBROWSE google tabs or such, then open a completely new thunderBIRD tab B) that has maybe 5 thunderBROWSE yahoo tabs open. This is just one suggestion to deal with a lack of multi-row tabbar and tab-groups... both of which expand tab-space in their own way.
As to suggestion #1... it is true that if you select "left-click opens in current tab" under options, you can use this feature in conjunction with Thunderbirds "open messsage in new tab" feature to simulate this the idea of having a ThunderBIRD tab open with no message-content. But you can see that the tab-title remains, and when clicking on another Tbird tab and then back on the "trick" tab, it will auto-reload the message content. So I feel that a fix or modification for this suggestion shouldn't be too hard to implement as it can already be approximated. Thanks developer.
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
This stopped working in TB 16This review is for a previous version of the add-on (3.81).

So ultimately a F2P player has only paid $45 at this point, where as the subscriber has paid as much as $60-$90.

Everyones a mmo vet these days :P
People who say that they paid say 50-60 bucks for a mmo then believe they shouldn't have to pay $15 per month because for the sole purpose for owning the boxed game itself should look at , for example, subscribing to Internet services, cell phones , tv ect , it's a service and based on that service can and will be cut off if people don't pay the monthly sub. I can understand that $15 a month might seem alittle pricey for some folks, but for the rest of us who have been playing mmos for alittle over a decade and paying a sub fee, FTP with a item mall just doesn't cut it. When I see FTP I see a cheap product and Also makes me wonder how well their game is doing financially. Just my thoughts.

As for content and bug fixes/balancing? I can count the amoutn of mmos on one hand that offer updates monthly, hell the majority of them only give content on 3-6 month cycles.
IMO mmo devs should charge for the client, then develop good sized DLC or expansions if they want more money.
We should always have access to a game we already paid for.

I've never understood anyone complaining about paying FIFTY CENTS per day for a game that can entertain them for months or years.
If I play single player games instead of MMORPGs, I end up paying hundreds per month, since I beat a game and replay it once in the course of a week.
MMORPGs are FAR less expensive, even with a sub fee.
But I will tell you now.....if RMT becomes the MMO standard, I will be done with MMOs.

Subscriptions aren't going anywhere, though subscription *only* games are going to continue to get more and more rare. The real future isn't F2P though, it's Freemium. A lot of games actually see their overall number of paying subscribers go up when they make the switch to Freemium, already making more money than the pure sub model before you even factor in the microtransaction income from the Free players.
Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
I would actually put myself in that casual player bracket, it takes me forever to lvl any character, but for 1 simple reason, I don't restrict myself to a single MMO, it keeps my game time fresh.
However these days lvling a character to max isn't such a terrible ardous task as it used to be, and at some point you hit that cap, once you do then what happens? the subscription option won't increase, but the F2P option suddenly shows it's true colours and restricts your gameplay immensly, your left with a few choices.
Leave the game to play another F2P.
Create another character and relive your adventures with a different "Free" class/race
Hand over more cash to buy further quests/content on a more frequent basis due to high lvl content being more controlled by the cash shop.
I would strongly agree that your early gaming experience will be mostly free and unfettered, but the real bucks are made at the high end of the game when your truly hooked, then the hard choices have to be made, give up or splash the cash.
I will always remain a subscriber to a few MMO's, I find this form of payment to be the easiest way for me to enjoy an uninterupted game, without having to worry that I need to purchase extra bag space, or that the dungeon my grp just entered in is free or a cash shop extra.
The only real positive I have found with so many cash shops funding MMO's is that so many of my old favourites are now available to me without having to fork out a months fee to see how they have improved =).
Originally posted by BillMurphy
That sums it up very nice " A last ditch effort to save their games" Lets face it. Former MMO's that recently went to F2P were popular games all ready and if it was not for the recent economy taking a nose dive I am sure that games like lotro and Cox would still be P2P that is why even WoW had to offer some kind of F2P zone if you will along with lotro and Cox after all you still have the option of subbing if you so choose to continue your gaming experience.
That brings me to another point all of these EASTERN games coming out by the truck load are just looking for a quick buck and do not care if the game last or not. I would not spend my valuable time or money in buying virtual armor from the games shop in some half ass MMO that is advertise on the Cartoon Network.
Conclusion is that Real gamers will not mind spending money on a game that is well devolved and gives them a MMO experience that they not only get hooked on but drool at night dreaming about.

F2P doesn't always mean cheap product, but at least you can try the game for free unlike a P2P MMO where you have to pay 50+ box fee just to play it unless your friend lets you play which is technically against the EULA.

If people think it's more expensive to play F2p now, just wait until it beats out the sub model completely. Right now people have other options, if that were to change, prices would sky rocket, as the F2p no longer would have sub models to contend with. WHich IMO means an even bigger push for sales, and need to buy items.

Internet and phone offer only 1 service either it be phone or Internet. My ISP provides me with Internet nothing more, where as a mmo , PTP is offering a service of playing that game. I don't know what kind of Internet or phone service you have, but mine just provides 1 service each.

Anyone crying over a 15$ sub for what can easily be a 40hours+ of entertainement per month loose all credibility in my book. Sure the latest p2p game were crap, but they were still worth 15$. What is 15$ to you ?
I always end up paying a lot more money for f2p game and usually get tired of em faster. What we need is a true gem and constant update. Then the sub would be better accepted.

Online casinos have been exposed for allowing money laundering through their systems, I do wonder if something similar is going on here with Cash Shops in FTP titles.
I wish the industry would buck their ideas up, I would happily pay £25-30 a month to pay a game which I can be truly submersed in, but as others hve mentioned the games out there now just don't warrant this level of investment from the playerbase.
The subscription model is failing because the games being released are simply not worth subscribing to, and the developers know that.

These would all cost a Premium player a lot of TP, especially on multiple characters.
There is a strategy to playing that game to maximize feature access without wasting money. Playing Premium with the occasional VIP subscription stint makes a lot of sense which brings me to my main point.
The game play experience in LotRO is nowhere near the quality of a P2P game, such as RIFT, now. The entire game is developed around purchasing items in the store. The best potions are store exclusives, LI relic removal is a store exclusive, in combat run speed buffs - exclusive, multiple map destinations, cooldown reductions, and much more - all store exclusives. Yeah you can earn them through Turbine's "fun" transitive gaming property by grinding out TP. But the bottom line is that LotRO players have asked for those features to be included in the game, and they were -- in the store after F2P. Contrast that with RIFT where features are added to the game and I earn access to them via game play. It is like night to day.
On the other hand, I agree with Z3RO1: P2P is just renting the game you buy and it doesn't always feel good. It's not like you can drop one day, stop paying, and a week later play for a few days and pay, then drop again. Feeling like I'm renting a game leaves a poor taste in my mouth and gives that pushy feeling like I have to play to get my money's worth even when I don't actually feel like playing.
I'm very much hoping that Arena Net's B2P model with some micro-transactions takes hold. For me it has the potential to be the least inconvenient and the lesser gouge to my wallet. On one hand I don't want to feel locked into playing because the money clock is constantly ticking (P2P) but on the other hand I don't want to be nickled and dimed for a store-centric gameplay experience (F2P). B2P seems to be a reasonable middle ground to these two extremes.

If more game companies followed the advice given by Extra Credits in general, the overall market would be vastly improved.

The whole freemium MMOs aren't that fine and dandy like many people say. LOTRO is perfect example of game where Turbine double dips(sub + cash shop) most loyal players. So yeah You get worse of two worlds this way.
Free players just have cash shop and if You are smart it can be okay in longer run. But in short term, after completing free parts(akin to WoW free trial) of the game You have to fork up quite some cash or suffer the grind taken from worst korean MMOs.
In the end sad reality is the best game experience in LOTRO You'll obtain by paying sub AND using cash shop. Which leads to another problem aka designing content to promote cash shop purchases. And I wish this cash shop had only fluff like WoW one...
So yeah in theory freemium model is perfect as You either pay as You go(via cash shop) or pay sub and don't care. In reality it's just a way to put cash shop in sub based game. As long as You don't sub it's okay, but when You do, You get the worst deal.
They make enough money either way, I don't care. You either make your game accessible or get fat starving by eating all the wrong foods.

Games that are actually worth a subscription will get the customers. I don't think it's long until we have game with a subscription and a real money auction house / currency exchange.

I believe that ingame cash shops will become "standard features" in all MMO's. Heck, they will even become part of single-player games (via an online connection). The introduction of DLC-packs is just the start.
The lure of increased revenue is simply too attractive for any game company to pass up. Subscription-based games have been unable to break through the "$15 per month" glass ceiling. No company wants to be the first to raise their monthly sub, because players will revolt and they would lose subs/players to other competitors still charging the "standard fee".
Cash shops bypass this artificial barrier nicely. I strongly doubt that the average player keeps a detailed record of their ingame purchases. This means that its quite likely that players will end up spending more in a game over the period of a year than they would have spent on a subscription model, especially as the cash shop purchases are often small amounts spread over a long period of time.
As time passes, people will become "de-sensitized" to cash shops, because no amount of forum-wailing will make them go away. Once that happens (a year or 2 from now), game companies will become more "creative" in their use of cash shops. Many will go too far, too fast, and will crash and burn, but the overall trend will increase, of that I've no doubt.
The F2P model may well be cheaper than subscription IF you only ever have 1 character in the game, and resist the temptation to use too many consumables (potions, XP-boosts, etc.) from the shop.
However, as a serial-altaholic, subscription play offers me the best value for money by far. I generally have 3 to 4 characters in any game I play, and it would cost me a heap of money to run those characters in most F2P games. I also tend to pay my subs in 6 or 12 month blocs, which almost always reduces the per month cost. I've NEVER paid $15 per month to play an MMO.

There's only really two free-ish games that I'm familiar with, DDO and Guild Wars. DDO starts you off with 2 slots for completely free accounts, and gives you four if you become a premium member, which only requires buying a point package in the store at any time. The Premium designation is permanent after that. But two isn't that far off from three or four, and the cost of those two slots can be obtained pretty easily just from playing.
GW gives you four for the base game (Prophesies), and another two for each of the additional campaigns (Factions and Nightfall) for a possible total of eight. Pretty decent, even for altaholics. Incidentally, I still needed another three.
So anyway, I'll assume that not all F2P games are as generous. But that just tells me that most shops aren't ones that I want to use. If people stop playing games with lousy shops and stick to those that they can at least tolerate, it will change the model for RMT for the entire genre in time. They are here to stay, but we as gamers should try to control how they are implemented by being selective in the games we choose to play.
Personally, I'm still open to paying for a subscription for the right game. But it would have to be something pretty damned stellar. I no longer believe that the monthly charge is needed to keep a game going. I'm more convinced than ever that they are only doing it because they can. And when I decide which games I will play in the future, there is one new factor I'm considering in my decision and that's the payment model. It was never something I looked at before because they were pretty much all the same, but choice exists now and I intend to exercise my ability make one. And I doubt I'm the only one who feels that way.

The incomparable master of the legal thriller takes us deeper into the labyrinth that is the American justice system, always drawing us in with an irresistible hook, pulling the thread of tension tighter and tighter, and then knocking us out with a conclusion that's never "by the book." Maybe that's why, after more than twenty years of consecutive #1 New York Times best sellers, a new novel by America's favorite storyteller is still a major publishing event.
From the Hardcover edition.
It's not always easy to earn a buck as a lawyer in Chicago, at least not for Oscar Finley and Wally Figg. Their names may be cute, but they are fairly shameless when it comes to what these two will do to chase down an easy-money legal conflict. So when a frustrated young lawyer with corporate firm experience wants to team up, Finley & Figg can hardly believe their luck--especially since David Zinc comes baring information about a big class-action suite that's about to break against a prescription drug company. Varrick Labs makes a killing, but it's becoming apparent that their cholesterol drug, Krayoxx, might also do some damage. Finley & Figg simply need to track down a handful of Krayoxx users who have had heart trouble, and they should stand to earn some real money for once. THE LITIGATORS is, however, a John Grisham novel, so don't think it will all go smoothly for Finley, Figg, and Zinc. In his 25th novel, Grisham employs a light hand that keeps this story zooming along and always fun to read.
Customer Reviews of The Litigators
this novel is classic John Grisham. It is a book where he hasn't skimped on thought and clarity, which you see in some of his later books. But it seems he returned to the grace and style of his earlier blockbuster fiction.is clearly his best book in years, and a must read for all fans.
great book11/9/2011
Long time fans of John Grisham will love The Litigators, which is one of his best books in years. You can read the plot elsewhere, but suffice to say unlike some of his recent efforts, this book not only keeps you interested right to the end, but provides a satisfactory ending that doesn't leave the reader feeling short-changed. Some recent Grisham books seem to spend a lot of time setting up the characters and the plot, and then end with a whimper. This breaks the trend. I've got every one of Grisham's books and this one ranks in the top half-dozen. There was always the feeling of "just one more chapter before I put it down" which (let's be honest) can't always be said. For those who've fallen out of love with Grisham, maybe give this one a try before you give up all together! Highly recommended.

Jose Reyes on contract talks with Mets: "Everything is quiet"
Oct 7, 2011, 10:15 AM EDT
Last month there were reports that the Mets wanted a quick decision from Jose Reyes, but yesterday the free agent shortstop told Nick Klopsis of New York Newsday that the two sides haven't even started contract talks.
"They'll probably start up within the next few days, but right now everything is quiet," Reyes said, reiterating that he'd like to re-sign with the Mets while adding that "this is a business and we just need to wait and see what happens."
From now until five days after the World Series the Mets are the only team able to negotiate with Reyes, but the fact that they haven't reached out to him yet is ultimately pretty meaningless. There's almost zero chance of Reyes re-signing before hitting the open market, so while getting the ball rolling on negotiations may have some value it won't keep the Mets from having to out-bid a bunch of other teams for him once the offers start flying.

Bakti spoke of "hundreds of arrests" after the government and the Football Association of Malaysia clamped down on match-fixing. Even last year, a coach was jailed for three years, he said. A 2010 report on the internet said illegal betting on football is worth up to 20 billion ringgits.
But close scrutiny of the top tier may have left the under-21s more vulnerable, said Bakti.
"Retired players are part of most such set-ups and tapping under-21 players is easier and can also act as investments for the future," said Bakti without elaborating.

in Rails using the Polymorphic version of Paperclip, the default saving technique means that files with the same name overwrite each other. Including the :id in the path and URL doesn't work as it just overwrites the earlier file with the old :id.
I've tried interpolations using a time-stamp, but it just looks for the current time when being shown the image (plus as I have multiple thumbnails it takes longer than a second, therefore the images have different stamps).
Paperclip.interpolates :uniqueid do |attachment, style|
Also tried using a hex number, but it iterates through for each thumb, thus breaking as there's a new hex value each time.

As it's the Polymorphic version, and thus has it's own model, I don't know how to access the values from the parent model (in this case "Post"). Variations on the code below all throw up "undefined method" errors.

Wilderness Discoverer Cruise Review by kskingsford: What a truely unique expereince for our diverse group of ages and abil

What a truely unique expereince for our diverse group of ages and abil
This cruise was to be my daughter and my last big trip together before she graduates from High School. We had some very high expectations and all were met and exceeded on this trip. We traveled with a group of 12 Girl Scouts and parents. It took us all 2 years to earn the money so our expectations were very high. This trip has something for everyone the high energy girls, the adults and one member who suffers from a chronic arthritic condition. The activities were diverse enough that everyone found something to do all day long every day.
Can't say enough about the Naturalists on the ship, they really knew all about the local flora and fauna as well as sea life. The girls learned so much by being immersed in the wilderness, going on kayak adventures, hiking a to a muskeg, visiting a Tlingit Village, cave exploring, seeing Dawes glacier calving and seeing all the wildlife up close was beyond our expectations. We especially liked being tucked away in a cove or up a river More and not seeing anyone else but those on the ship.
The food was excellent the cabins were perfect for our needs as we only slept in them, we were always away on adventure, outside viewing nature or enjoying time with all the guests from around the world. I can't say enough about our trip other than when you can get teen girls on a trip with no cell service and no internet for most of the week and no one complains you are doing something right! Less
