The only devs who haven't stunk up their reputation that badly is CCP but they've kinda fucked themselves over with Dust 514 everyone else and I mean everyone else has allot of shit they've pulled and crappy games released which needed stiching back together (Cryptic had this as well but their F2P games are really free to play, you can play completely free, get everything available in the game and even contribute to the developers indirectly by consuming the microtransaction points others bought thus feeding the demand and thus firing up those who want to trade for in-game currency with real cash to do it more often thus giving the devs more to work with).

Games with subs also create grinds, which is a form of inconvenience I guess, that forces to you pay using addictive methods (carrot on a stick) to stick around.
But then...F2P games have grinds too, so might as well get everything all at once...
Yeah, I'm not good at being devil's advocate.

It boils down to one thing, how much do you pay divided by how much pleasure in hours you get. This applies to sub games, f2p, bad p2p.

well, grinding is the game most of the time.
if an mmo is a virtual world then you won't be in combat against epic foes 24/7. that's not anywhere near 'a believable virtual world'.
Let's pick EVE. A game where - even without RP - players 'live' in the gameworld. What do you do 90% of your time ? you go on with your daily life. trade, farm, rat, mine, craft, socialize... and only 10% is "epic call to arms to save our assets that those animals with human faces dared reinforce again".
"LIFE" in a virtual world will be...much like any real life...grindy. you develop a routine, goals, and you start working towards them. I mean that's the game. Otherwise what would you do ? if you pvp 24/7 then pvp becomes a grind. if you pve 24/7 then pve is a grind.
I think 'grind' itself is not a factor as MMOs are mostly about it. eliminating grind makes you stand in town waiting for queue to pop. Not a lot better.

Nothing is wrong with F2P, in every sense of the term you are getting what you pay for. It depends more on the player that the model. Are you okay not having everything others do? Are you willing to work around roadblocks and still enjoy the game? If so you will be kept very happy with the amount of F2P titles out there.
If speaking about big name F2P games it mearly casts a bigger net but with bigger holes. It's the hope that a bigger volume of players will bring in enough money to keep the lights on. If there seems to be slower content updates and more put into the cash shop what does that tell you? There are more minnows than whales and the company needs to pay the bills. It shouldn't be surprising and that doesn't make the company greedy.

It's interesting reading a lot of the responses here, as there is no logic whatsoever to the comparisons.
The assumption above (presented as fact, as usual) is applied to F2P, as if no other developers in this massive market of chasing the next ding is designing their game, raids or gear to do the same but in the form of a monthly fee. It's as if F2P devs are businessmen using science and psychology to guide their work, while subscription devs are fellow gamers guided by passion, art and muses.
The other interesting thing is this if you asked many in the anti-F2P crowd if they stop playing a game once it's no longer enjoyable, they'd say yes, but every one of their talking points on the topic hinges on the fictional F2P gamer reaching something they don't like/enjoy and paying to bypass it or progress beyond it. The stance is either irrational or arrogant, being poorly thought through in the former, or a sense of being above or smarter than F2P gamers in the latter. This is the most interesting of the two, as it is a shared cognitive bias that feeds off of constant reaffirmation from the group. It's both crazy and beautiful at the same time.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

I can see this having perhaps a higher probability than say an AAA title, but I attribute that more to funding. As F2P matures this should be reduced (my thought).

Every game needs to monetize. Sub-free games often go for inventory or character slots. Sub-locked games do that by artificially retarding your progress so you have to subscribe longer - raid and dungeon locks, limits on tokens gained per day, and similar tactics.
Different people don't mind paying differently is all I can figure. I don't mind paying for those things, but I do hate renting access to a game and only being able to access that game if I continue to pay them. I'm not going to pay someone to rent my game access anymore. I see it mostly as a difference of perspective rather than one way is better or worse.

Great replies all! Dont know where to respond first :-) But wanted to add another wrinkle.
Do we see B2P (ala GW2) more viable than strict F2P?
I see B2P a highly probable model going forward and one I would support. I had no issue paying a console price for GW2 and getting my 2-3 months fun out of it. Especially since I can return back to the game whenever I want.
I dont know, subs to me were psychological to me as well. When I pay 15/months I feel *obligated* to log on if for no other reason than to get my 'value' from the month. Why waste the 53 cents/day? I mean if I can (easily) afford that - shouldnt I put it towards something I play more often? This 'obligation' (again a construct of my own mind) takes away the fun of why I'm playing.
Take SWTOR for instance. It was a fun game but got bored mid-game. Quit my sub. Game goes F2P and now I have a level 12 Bounty Hunter. Those are the facts. Now granted SWTOR implementation of F2P is annoying restrictive, but I feel if I play a game for free and Im enjoying it then I might as well pay for it. But in this case I can pay for what *I* want to play. I will probably never do an Operation ... so I simply wont play for it. I want to try a flashpoint? I can pay for one month. Even with its convoluted structure the fact that I get to pick and choose what I play when allows me to enjoy the game my way.
TERA is another one I plan to give another chance, simply because its F2P. If the game is not enjoyable (to me) the F2P conversion wont save it, but I believe I would probably enjoy it more the first time if there was no sub.
TSW too, but you get my point. F2P not only allows you to 'test' a game out longer than a specified time frame, but as you explore what you actually enjoy you get to pay piecemeal.
I agree with others, F2P as a model is good but it will come down to each IP's implementation. Where I see the best as B2P. Pay once and get everything (except expansions) for free.
Hard to see how a sub could beat that flexibility.

I agree but thats not F2P as a model, thats F2P as a (bad) implementation - and they ARE out there. This is where I see market forces taking over (i.e. - if the game is trying to cheat you to pay in a CS or whatever, we simply wont play/support the game).
We can't eliminate choice from the equation.

It sounds like TERA didnt understand the best way to go F2P and went all in feet first and became overwhelmed.
F2P will always in my book come down to implementation. Those who get the model/balance right are the ones that will succeed. And to be fair these are tough questions to answer. Its still new.
But notice how GW2 model works more holistically than a game that was built as P2P and *goes* F2P.
Design has a lot to do with it.

No I do not see B2P + item shop as more viable than pure F2P, at least not from a player perspective. I can play Aion for free, but GW2 is still $60 up front. That doesn't give GW2 any advantage.
On the other hand, pure B2P (which is now all but extinct) had advantages due to not having to balance item shop purchases into combat and economic mechanisms. This died out completely when MMO development budgets went through the roof. At best a few Indies are still B2P.

"Because". see above.
"the MMO world is waking up". Citation needed.
"bandwidth bla bla bla". what about the other costs ?surely hosting 1999 graphics today is cheaper, but developing 2009 era graphics is more expensive. where do they get the extra money from ?
"A ton of profit". profit is not measured by weight.
"the lie is dieing". your lack of proper grammar aside, lies aren't alive therefore can't die.
"as is the pay model". speculation. citation needed.

by Vaughn Ohlman from True Love Doesn't Wait - Fear and Readiness It is a funny difference between conservatives and liberals that conservatives seem to always question liberals ideas, and liberals question conservatives motives. Indeed, when a liberal makes a movie about an evil conservative the conservative is almost never doing what the conservative says he wants to do (ie he is a hypocrite[1]) whereas a conservative movie will often show liberals living up to their stated ideals (which just happen to be wrong, immoral, and lead to a deranged and deprived society). … [Read more...]

The Los Angeles Clippers officially have a new owner.
Steve Ballmer's bid to purchase the Clippers closed Tuesday after the entry of an order by a California court confirmed the authority of Shelly Sterling to sell the team on behalf of the Sterling Family Trust, the league announced.
Ballmer, the former Microsoft CEO, bid $2 billion for the Clippers in May but wasn't able to complete the sale until Tuesday's written court order affirmed Shelly Sterling's authority to sell the franchise without the consent of her husband, Donald Sterling.
"It's very, very exciting. I'm a basketball nut," Ballmer said in an interview with ESPN's Ramona Shelburne. "I've got time. I love Los Angeles. I love Seattle, too, which is where we have our home. But the notion of spending a lot of time in Los Angeles has been exciting to me for years. The community down there is great. I look forward to supporting the community, the fan base, the staff, Doc [Rivers] and the players to take this thing to higher heights."
Ballmer acknowledged there were some frustrating moments while the sale of the franchise was delayed by court proceedings but said he remained confident he'd be able to complete it.
"My job has been to complete the deal and there were a lot of people, including me, working on it for a long time," Ballmer said. "Was I kind of itchy? Sure. But I knew the only thing I could do or should do was complete the final deal, and we were able to do that this morning."
The NBA's board of governors interviewed Ballmer on July 15, then took a vote electronically last week in which he was unanimously approved as an owner, sources told Shelburne.
Ballmer decided he would complete the sale as soon as Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas' written order came in, which occurred at 11:30 a.m. ET Tuesday.
"We were ready," Adam Streisand, Ballmer's attorney, said. "Within minutes, the deal was signed, sealed and delivered."
Ballmer plans to travel to Los Angeles later this week and have dinner with the team, then meet with Clippers employees and fans at an event Monday.
Ballmer's takeover of the Clippers follows weeks of legal tussling between Shelly and Donald Sterling, the 80-year-old billionaire whom the NBA banned earlier this year for making offensive remarks about blacks.
Donald Sterling's attorneys filed a writ of mandate Tuesday in appeals court requesting the reversal of the order confirming Shelly Sterling's authority to conduct the sale. Shelly Sterling's attorneys then filed an opposition to the petition, calling it "frivolous."
However, sources also told Shelburne that attorneys for Donald Sterling and Shelly Sterling recently have been discussing a settlement.
The NBA, meanwhile, has filed a counterclaim in federal court against Donald Sterling and the Sterling Family Trust, saying he caused "devastating and incalculable harm" to the league. The counterclaim was in response to an antitrust lawsuit Sterling filed in June against the NBA and commissioner Adam Silver seeking $1 billion in damages.

I have acquired many skills and qualifcations over the years such as a Film Projectionist,TEFL (Teacher of English for Foreign Learners),Display Screen Assessor,Forklift Driver and REME First Class Accountancy (The honour of being the first civilian to get this).
My main interests are Family, Natural Medicines,Photography, Art and Crafts, Running, Cycling, Treasure Hunting and Website Building. I was a very keen runner over the years and competed at a very good level, not international class but at domestic and club level, representing Worcester Athletic Club for many, many years.
I really do enjoy photography and always look for the opportunity to take a good photograph anywhere I may be at the time.
Cycling is just for pleasure and mainly getting to and from work, but one thing I did do Cycling was in April 2002, where I raised money for the UK National Asthma Campaign participating in an event called Cycle Peru 2002, along the very tough but fantastic Inca Trail in the Andes, quite an amazing experience, especially camping up in the Andes for many days.
I also love Treasure Hunting, especially with my Metal Detector, though have not found the ultimate hoard of gold coins yet.
I am married to Jenny with whom we have two children, Joshua and Sofia. Jenny is an accomplished artist in her own right as is all her family as you will see over the coming weeks and months.
Anyway thanks for visiting and hope to see you again soon.
Bye for now

I am a wife, mother, activist, author and artist. I just happen to have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1998 at the age of 34. I believe that part of the reason that I am still able to be as active as I am after 15 years of living with this disease is that I don't let it define who I am. The symptoms that bother me the most – speech impacts, and levodopa-induced involuntary movements – are the ones on which I spend the majority of my time working to educate others. That should help build Parkinson's–friendly communities.Hunt Christensen is a member of the National Parkinson Foundation Minnesota's Board of Directors and the Minnesota State Director for the Parkinson's Action Network.
My Parkinson's story began when my mom, Sharon, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease when I was in high school.
Shining a Light on Parkinson's: Mike Justak's Story
If you want to see Parkinson's in a new light you only need to drive by Mike Justak's home in Plymouth, Minnesota. He shines not one light, but more than 50,000 of them. For the holidays his home turns into what he's dubbed "PD Shimmers," a Christmas light show synchronized to music, in order to raise awareness of Parkinson's disease (PD).
We need to be responsible to others: V. Ross Collins' story
Ross, a cardiologist, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD) six years ago. He first noticed a tremor and weakness on his left side. He recognized what was happening. He had a complete neurologic evaluation, and voluntarily reported his diagnosis to the state Board of Medicine. His employer, his associates, and his neurologist were all supportive.

Revelade Revolution 0.1 Alpha 3
I have downloaded the last version from Sourceforge, but when i try to change the settings (resolution,effects, etc..) it says a error message and close itself....how im supposed to change settings then?
There was just a bug with the "apply changes" dialog I missed before, it's all been sorted out now, until the next release set the menudisappearm to 0 "menudisappearm 0" to fix it (don't forget to set it back to 1 after the update if you use the same config file).
Thanks it worked!
This is the first time We've heard of this error. I will talk to our lead programer and see what we can do about fixing it.
As soon as its fixed and tested I will let you know and re-upload the fixed version of the game, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
I still think this game on Unity 3D, or UDK, or CE3, would do much much better(simply because it HAS the potential)
We appreciate your feedback and have looked in to other engines for this game. Our coders and artist were confident we could make something in the classic style game play that is both fun and interactive.
If all goes well with RR there is a good chance that the next game of the series maybe out on another engine.
We are currently updating our servers we will get them back up as soon as we can.
Servers are back up and running.
We have been focuing on online play the last week or so after we relased alpha 6.5.1 you may see alpha 6.5.2 soon.
We want to be able to give you a stable online game play as you test the different modes and advise us of what you like or dont like.
A big part of alpha 6.6 will be finishing up the map details of the current maps we have as well as making sure all game play types are supported by its respective map.
More news soon!
I don't like blood, is there a noblood option ?
Yes there is.

Re: Official Witcher 2 - The Assassins of Kings
Runs great on my rig at 2560x1600 on Ultra settings with the latest beta drivers (Ubersampling disabled, obviously). I do have drop my Windows resolution down to 1920x1200 to get the game to load, though (seems to be a bug with Windows 7 64-bit).
Still getting use the new combat system. The camera tracking works well, but it seems a bit of a click-fest. 3 hours in and I'm still in the Prologue.
This game rocks. I think Bioware just got taken behind the woodshed.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — What are the 10 greatest rock-and-roll movies of all time? It is a matter of opinion, of course. You may nod your head in agreement with my choices — or think I'm out to lunch. Either way, it's all good.
It's a great parlor game or something to debate over beers at your neighborhood watering hole. Everyone will have an opinion.
Plenty of folks will be playing that parlor game this week as HBO, a unit of Time Warner TWX, +0.20% , airs Martin Scorsese's "George Harrison: Living in the Material World" in two parts on Wednesday and Thursday. Containing never-seen footage, it will include interviews with everyone from Harrison's widow, Olivia, to Yoko Ono, John Lennon's widow, and Tom Petty, Harrison's close friend and fellow Traveling Wilbury.
Check out my list and feel free to tell me where I've goofed.
— Jon Freidman, Media Web columnist
1) A Hard Day's Night (1964): Great rock-and-roll movies should have several qualities. First, they must have immediacy and leave you gasping at the brilliance of the artist. It should make the viewer appreciate the star's mastery more than ever.
It should also provoke some thought about the artist's creative process and perhaps even spark a new appreciation of the music. Above all, like any great cinematic achievement, it ought to make you want to see the film again — and again.
That's why "A Hard Day's Night" tops my list, I've seen it well over 20 times and look forward to my next viewing. Whenever I catch it, usually on cable television, I invariably notice something fresh. I might appreciate John Lennon's remarkable vocals and his acerbic wit or Paul McCartney's inventive bass-guitar playing or George Harrison's catchy electric guitar solos or Ringo Starr's sheer joy at playing drums on those great, early Beatles numbers.
A movie can change your opinion about something forever. "A Hard Day's Night" came out in the summer of 1964 and music lovers around the world responded to the fun the Beatles were having. Members of what became the Grateful Dead and the Byrds, to name two California groups, have spoken of the influence the film had on their decision to form bands.
Shot in glorious black and white, this high-voltage depicts a day or two in the life of the Beatles and features terrific performances of the songs on the soundtrack album. The plot is that the band is preparing to film a television appearance in London during the height of Beatlemania. It captures the Fab Four at their witty best, including this memorable exchange:
Reporter:: "How did you find America?"
John Lennon: "Turn left at Greenland"
2) The Last Waltz (1978): This is widely acclaimed as the greatest concert movie ever made. Martin Scorsese, a fanatical rock-and-roll fan, directed the film of The Band's final concert, dubbed as "The Last Waltz," at Winterland in San Francisco on Thanksgiving, 1976. It also features guest appearances by Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Dr. John and other luminaries. Robbie Robertson's fantastic guitar solos make this film worth seeing over and over.
3) Gimme Shelter (1970): A movie can go a long way in hardening a band's image. Consider that the Rolling Stones were forever the bad boys of rock after the release of "Gimme Shelter" in 1970. The movie, which largely depicts the Stones playing at the notorious Altamont free concert outside San Francisco in 1969, has become infamous because a young man was killed while the Stones were performing on stage.
The Rolling Stones, though, were in their glory in the film. They played their songs brilliantly and showed their seldom seen sensitive sides as they watched the footage of the killing. The Stones looked as horrified and confused as the rest of us at the spectacle.
4) Woodstock (1970): Welcome to the most celebrated rock-and-roll festival, three days of peace, love and music. The Who, Joe Cocker, Sly and the Family Stone, Jimi Hendrix and Santana particularly shine in this well shot concert film.
5) Dont Look Back (1967): Why did so many young people proclaim Bob Dylan to be the voice of their generation in the 1960s? This documentary goes a long way in explaining why. Dylan's mesmerizing performances alone on a stage with only an acoustic guitar and a harmonica rack underscore his ability to move an audience whether he is singing about love, loss or social injustice.
The 1967 release of "Dont Look Back" hardened Bob Dylan's reputation for being curt and even surly to interviewers at times. But the outtakes, which accompanied a rerelease of the film a few years ago, show Dylan also to be affable and downright charming — the polar opposite of his persona in the original movie.
6) Help! (1965): The Beatles returned with this fun, goofy film. Shot this time in color, it showed the four guys trying to outwit villains from the Austrian Alps to the heat in Bermuda. The performances of "You're Gonna Lose That Girl" and "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" are worth the price of admission all by themselves.
7) Purple Rain (1984): The film showcases the many talents of the one and only Prince, easily the most charismatic performer I've ever seen in concert. Because this movie captures him near the beginning of his fame, it shows him at the top of his game. Many people will debate whether Prince or, say, Michael Jackson or Bruce Springsteen or Mick Jagger is the electrifying performer of our time.
For my two cents, it's hard to top The Kid from Minneapolis.
8) Stop Making Sense (1984): In Jonathan Demme's lively concert film, Talking Heads plays its brand of door-opening "world music." You're drawn in from the moment jittery, brilliant singer David Byrne plays "Psycho Killer" while strumming on his guitar. to the bare accompaniment of a boom box placed at his feet. Demme succeeds in showing the skill and charm of this widely admired iconic punk-era New York City quartet.
9) This Is Spinal Tap (1984): Has a funnier movie about the music world ever been made? I doubt it. These are the uneasy life and times of a fictional band. The movie works on many levels — mostly because it's fall-down funny. But to their everlasting credit, these guys also come across as serious musicians.
10) The Future Is Unwritten: Joe Strummer: (2007): Julien Temple's absorbing documentary traces the life of the late English punk-era singer and writer. The footage of Strummer talking his life and work is riveting. Gritty and unvarnished, the movie underscores why so many rock critics and fans regarded the Clash, Strummer's band, as such an influence on their lives.
There's my 10. I suspect that my selections will spark bitterness from readers who will be eager to point out the plethora of movies I've left off. What, no "Monterey Pop?" And what about Led Zeppelin's "The Song Remains the Same?"Neil Young's fans will also justifiably bemoan the exclusion of the films covering his life and music.

?Hacksaw? Jim Duggan, one of the most popular professional wrestlers in the 1980s, offers a ringside seat into his adventurous life in his new book.
- Filed Under
"Hacksaw: The Jim Duggan Story" by "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan and Scott E. Williams is available on Amazon and other retailers. For more information about Duggan, who used to live in Titusville, visit www.hacksawjimduggan.net.
THE STORY: I first met World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Famer Jim Duggan as a starry-eyed youngster at the opening of Hacksaw's Muscle and Fitness in Titusville. From those early days, I formed a close friendship with Jim and his family. I was there the day he celebrated his 50th birthday in Titusville. I was there when he was treated for kidney cancer at Jess Parrish Memorial Hospital. And I was there for countless local charity events Jim was involved in before he moved back to his wife's hometown in South Carolina.
When I learned he had written a book about his life, I knew I had to get a copy. Let's Shake Rattle & Know: "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan
QUESTION:What made you want to write a book?
Duggan: So many guys have written books that spoke about the negative side of the wrestling business. I wanted to write something that showed the positive side of things. Wrestling has been very good to me, allowed me to have my beautiful wife (Debra) of the last 28 years and raise two wonderful daughters. Movies and books portray wrestlers as a bunch of degenerates, and I wanted people to see a different side.
Looking back on it, are there things you wish you had put in or left out of the book?
No. The book needed to be honest even when (things) were hard to tell. I spoke about being cut from professional football and wondering what I was going to do with my life and the tremendous loss I felt at the time. I write about the worst times in my life, but were monumental times that needed to be told.
You were pretty open in the book about previous run-ins with the law and your arrest with the Iron Sheik. Were you worried how audiences might perceive you?
There are a lot of things in my life I am not real proud of, but you can't just cover it up. You just have to face it. I couldn't leave it out because people who know me or know about it would feel I wasn't being honest. I never fully recovered from that mistake, and I believe it was detrimental to my career. I think there are a lot of championship belts I never won because of that black eye on my career. I was an adult at the time, and I take full responsibility for my mistakes.
Despite starting out and having some stints as a heel (the wrestling term for a "bad guy"), people always see you as a face (wrestling term for "good guy"). Why do you think that is?
I think the fans decided I was to be a face. Even when I was a heel, they cheered for me and were anxious to see me. I have proudly carried the American flag for 28 of my 33 years in wrestling.
What do you miss most about Brevard?
I miss a lot of friends there, and I really miss the beach. Everyone thinks Playalinda is some nude beach, which it is not, and they don't realize what a hidden gem it is. It's amazing and just the drive out there and going by the (Kennedy) Space Center and the wildlife there. It's just incredible.
Your business has lost a lot of good people who got caught up in steroids, drugs, painkillers and more. How were you able to stay away from those temptations for most of your career?
I got caught up in that stuff a little bit. We were all doing steroids, but back then they weren't illegal and no one knew the effect it would have on our bodies. All we knew is that you got bigger and stronger. My body paid the price for that, though, with kidney cancer. It took a toll on me. I never got caught up to the point where I couldn't get out like some guys did. That's just one of those things I wish I could do over in my life.
Of all your fallen comrades, is there one who hit you particularly hard?
I have two best friends who are no longer with us. Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy and I lived together in Atlanta, and he had a drug-related death. The other that hit me really hard was Steve "Dr. Death" Williams, whom I lived with in Louisiana. He died from throat cancer in 2009. Those two guys were very close to me.
A lot of wrestling legends are just sort of going through the motions in their matches, while you still go toe-to-toe with the younger guys. How do you stay in wrestling condition?
I think it's genetics. I'm a relatively big guy, even if just medium by my businesses standards. I never did high-risk moves, jumping off the ropes and that type of thing. I was always a kicker and a puncher and a brawler, so I saved my body for the most part. Some guys are pretty beat up now. Mankind is 12 years younger, but he can barely walk because of all the daring things he did in the ring, and Hulk Hogan has had knees and hips replaced. I'm thankful I am still in pretty good shape. I'm now wrestling the sons of guys I used to square off again. I've wrestled DiBiase's son, Haku's son, Randy Orton's son, Dusty Rhodes' son and more. It's a good feeling to be able to enjoy the business as long as I have.
Q:Who among your peers do you feel is most deserving of being in the WWE Hall of Fame but isn't in yet?
Jake the Snake Roberts. He fought a lot of demons in his life and has a pretty checkered background. He was the usher in my wedding and threw me my bachelor party, so I know what kind of guy he is, or can be. A lot of people think the movie "The Wrestler" was based on Jake. The WWE is a very image-conscious and family-friendly business, so I think they worry about the fallout that could happen by inducting a guy like Jake, but he has meant a lot to the business.
Q:If the book is a success, will there be a follow-up?
I haven't really thought about it. I know when I was saying goodbye to the co-writer (Scott E. Williams) at the airport, I tried to hand him a bunch more stories I had thought about, but he said we had enough. It was therapeutic for me to write even though I was hesitant at first. I have been in the business for 33 years, played in every state, and played in over 25 countries. I am sure I have more to tell!

Pyrantel pamoate treats
pinworm infections. The dose of pyrantel pamoate given
is based on the person's weight. Two doses are usually given about 14 days
apart (as long as no side effects are noted after the first dose). More than
the correct dose should not be given at any time.
Pyrantel pamoate
comes as a liquid or a chewable pill. Some brands come with a small measuring
cup and a weight chart on the box so that you can calculate correct doses. If
you have problems calculating a dose or have concerns about the medicine, talk
with a
pharmacist or your doctor.
Pyrantel pamoate kills adult pinworms. It
does not kill pinworm eggs.
Pyrantel pamoate is a nonprescription
medicine commonly used for pinworm infections. It is taken after a definite
diagnosis of pinworms has been made by either seeing the worms or doing a
transparent (cellophane) tape test. It may also be used if mebendazole (a
prescription medicine) is not effective.
Do not give pyrantel
pamoate to pregnant women, breast-feeding women, or children younger than age 2
without first talking with a doctor.
Pyrantel pamoate gets rid of pinworm
infections most of the time. But reinfection with pinworms is very
Side effects of pyrantel pamoate are not
very common but may include:
If side effects develop after the initial dose, a second
dose (normally taken in about 2 weeks) should not be taken without talking with
a doctor.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects.
(Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
While using
pyrantel pamoate, take measures to prevent reinfection and the spread of
infection to others. See the Home Treatment section of the Pinworms
Children younger than age 2 should only take this medicine
on the advice of a doctor.
Pregnant women and breast-feeding women
should not use this medicine without first consulting a doctor.
Pyrantel pamoate can be taken with food, milk, or juice, or on an empty
Because pinworm eggs can survive for 2 weeks after
treatment with pyrantel pamoate, reinfection can occur. Treatment with a second
dose is usually recommended.

Author Bio
Jack Canfield was an inner-city school teacher before he became a best-selling author. Beginning in 1967, he taught high school in Massachusetts and the Midwest before returning to graduate school for a degree in psychology. His experiences with students who badly needed an increase of self-esteem led to his concept for a book of motivational stories. The manuscript for CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL (co-written with a friend, Mark Victor Hansen) was rejected by 123 publishers until the authors finally found a small press that would take a chance. The rest is self-help history: as of 2003, over 80 million copies had been sold, and the book had generated innumerable spinoffs. Canfield, who admits that he got a C in his college composition course, has written several other books, including 100 WAYS TO ENHANCE SELF-CONCEPT IN THE CLASSROOM. He is also a therapist who practiced for many years in Amherst, Massachusetts, but gradually his job description evolved into a more public role, and he became a heavily-booked speaker on self-esteem and recovery issues. He is also the founder of Self-Esteem Seminars, located in Santa Barbara, California.

I had the distinct pleasure yesterday of being able to spend an entire "snow" (ice/sleet/yuck) day inside with my kids. At least the first half of the day was a pleasure, but after lunch we found ourselves seeking out things to save us from the boredom. My friends at Blue Planet Tales came to the rescue with more fun lessons in history. This time we got to learn about the first man reach the summit of Mt. Everest in The Man Who Touched the Sky.
The Man Who Touched the Sky is free as an in-app purchase on February 26 and 27!

"Tarawa harbour city" Betio by Rusket
Betio Travel Guide: 3 reviews and 1 photos
In Betio you find the only deep water harbour on Tarawa, and there are probably not many others on the other islands of the Gilberts. A cargo ship arrives once every month with supplies from Australia, like beer and rice, and smaller boats go to the other islands. Likewise, export articles like copra and fish products are transported via Betio harbour. There are cargo vessels going between Tarawa and the Phoenix and the Line islands, too. In addition to the harbour, there is a shipyard there, some industry and the main power station of Tarawa.
Betio is a city with more than one street. There are some nice areas and some not so nice with several bars, pubs and discoes and quite a few drunks. There is a lot of litter scattered around, but like elsewere on Tarawa they have started som recirculation, at least of empty drinking cans.
- In a nutshell:Not a place to stay if you don't have to.
