This is only relating to the uk sales .
many articles are quoting this chart to prove there been a huge slip in sales of ToR in the UK but in actual fact you have to bair in mind this is cross platform and many people like myself buy a few cheap games in the sales
If you do a little research you ll find the same website also has a pc games chart for full priced games
This makes it clear ToR may have slipped one position to the ever popular football manager ( which is always big in the uk you americans would call it soccer manager its also a game unlikly to have much of an effect in other regions )
Not sure if you take this into consideration "Retail Sales Plummet in the UK" is paticulary accurate .
After all slipping on chart place in it own platform doesn't have quite the same ring to it . Does it ? Especially when you consider how many people are getting bargains like Dead Island for half price in the sales .

Last time I checked, PC gamers do also have consoles which can take their time away from an MMO. Something that should be considered.

You and I know the game is huge in the UK because Star Wars has such deep roots there, sadly people just try and twist reality to suit their own needs.
Thanks for posting actual information to combat the shills and their hate machine, millions of subs is alot of money and it's clear that people are fighting over those dollars.
The servers continue to fill, more are being brought online, but it's a huge flop to hear it told by some here.

I agree with the OP, saying it slips just because it slips on a platform which it isnt even offered on....

Also, I am sure a lot of PC gamers have 2 monitors which they use the 2nd one to play internet videos and/or TV when not looking up information on it which your example made no sense to begin with. The Kindle is a portable device which would mainly be used when not at your computer so it also serves a different purpose. Don't act like a child just cause there are other considerations that should be taken into account. Sometimes PC gamers want to play other games that are not on PC, get over it.

I just pointed out that if you look at ToR slipping one place on a PC chart for full priced games it doesn't sound quite as drastic as saying "sales plummet" because of a slippage on a multi-platform and price chart . At least such articles should mention the second chart . Also from what I can see of chart track they dont give out numbers so how do they know sales have plummeted ?
I buy most of the games I play in the new year sales so could it be many cut price games have increased huge amounts in the charts because of seasonal sale buyers like myself .
Given it slipped only one position in full price platform chart sales of ToR could hardly be described as " plummeting " .

Well, it was obvious that it's an MMORPG.com rage thread. They do them all the time, like how for the last few months having all the P2P vs F2P articles. Now, it's the SWTOR fans vs haters time to pick at. Anyone would think that SWTOR sales would drop anyway. People who wanted the game have it by now or if they don't then they would most likely get it by download. I understand that it's a misleading article for PC only gamers but there are factors involved that still make it true as gamers in general.

Really, so since I do NOT own a gaming platform, only a PC, the games I play which are only on the PC, should be rated with all the games which are NOT on the PC...did I get that about right? Because they can take up the time of a gamer. Because they are entertainment sources, similar to the PC Games like SW:TOR which they MIGHT play if they were not doing some other form of entertainment on some other media platform. Did I get it right that time?
Oh and I have 4 monitors on my PC, does that mean I need to rethink the fact that I am a gamer? Does having more than one monitor make playing the game less or more in your mind?
And lets be clear here shall we, gaming is an entertainment venue, just like watching TV and reading a book (this is what a Kindle is for just in-case you didnt know). All of them have an equal chance to engage the person who is using them for thier entertainment purposes. Just because you feel you have the right to specialize that set of facts into saying only games are important to your charting is irrelivant. Should we include online poker, how about board games, or card games. What about Farmville, its a game too, played on a PC as well, just like SW:TOR is, does that mean it should be considered relivant to SW:TOR?
So lets take your own fuckin advise and stop acting like a child just because your brain isn't smart enough to comprehend something outside the simple. Yes, sometimes people do in fact like to engage in other forms of entertainment, but that in no way means all of them should be taken into account when your pulling statistics on each one. Sales of a deck of cards does not in any way reflect on sales of an MMORPG PC game, and so the same can be said of any other game which is on a different media - like console games, or board games, or croquet, or.....

And no, my way of thinking isnt off at all, it just appears you're unable to comprehend it at all. Not my problem there, not everyone has the capacity to understand complex reasoning. I know, game, its a game, there for it must be..... simple. Problem is your way of thinking is just that, too simple. And that is exactly what is wrong with your vision of the statistics we are discussing here.
The OP is entirely correct in the statement that a chart built off different media is missleading in its results. And that the correct chart is the one that only gauges this game against other games on its own media. This is the point you have failed to understand at all. You can't play this game on a console, can't, can not. It should not be judged against things it can not compete with (i.e. it can't be played on a console, doesn't play like a console game, isn't sold to console gamers <--- notice this last one here...isn't sold to console gamers).

Yeap, not serious at all. Believe me, you are not fooling anyone. Like anyone is going to care about this game in 6 months anyway. lol

That's been an option from the beginning, but hasn't been discussed in more formal terms at this point in time.
...I can see it being a "one shot"....
been really enjoying this...impatiently waiting for tomorrows episode!!
Does it end on Friday? I haven't read the story before so I'm in the dark.
I believe that will be #24 which is the final one--have lost count.
This story has been fun to follow. I would love for it to come out in comic book format. I have the book it's in and I'm waiting for the comic to finish up and then I'm going to go to the story in the book and see how it reads that way.
Fantastic finish today! I was confused for a second because I didn't have my browser open for full widescreen, so some of the panels were cut off and it didn't make sense. I figured it out!
Thank you Denis Calero for your wonderful creation, and thank you SK for letting us see this for free online! This was a really cool event!
Just finish reading the Little Green God of Agony. Magnificent - it was extremely true to the book story. Think I'll take a complete viewing again over the weekend. Thanks go out to Stephen King for allowing us this experience on the SKMB. Thanks to Denis Calero for making it so special. This playground is the best!

In my previous post I wrote simply, it should have been simple..I HATE IT WHEN I FIND TYPO'S..sorry I'm done now.
Yes the Mexican President asked Obama to control guns at gun shows. He also decried the efforts of our border states to control our borders with Mexico. The cartels, with apparently operate with much impunity, are sending guns into the US… just ask your cousin. Perhaps the controlling factions there only want criminal activities to travel in one direction… NORTH.
We already have laws aimed at stopping criminal activities traversing between the two countries. Perhaps the better course of action would be for our governments to enforce the existing laws.
And second amendment proponents come from both political parties. It just seems to me one party is more keen on defending our constitutional rights than the other.
Restrictions which effectively hamstring the ATF's ability to enforce laws were introduced by former Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R-KS) who was provided the language for the restrictions by the NRA. As quoted by Rep. Tiahrt, "I wanted to make sure I was fulfilling the needs of my friends who are firearms dealers. NRA Officials were helpful in making sure I had my bases covered." Congress passed the amendments introduced by Congressman Tiahrt and that legislation is now known as the Tiahrt Amendments.
What this has meant:
It restricts cities, states, and police from accessing ATF data regarding where illegal guns are coming from, who buys them, and how they get trafficked across state lines and into communities .
Requires the FBI to destroy certain background check records within 24 hours which greatly hinders the ability to use those records to help solve crimes or identify gun buyers with criminal histories who were mistakenly approved.
Blocks ATF from requiring gun dealers to conduct inventory checks to detect loss and theft and which then hampers the ability to prosecute gun dealers who may be illegally selling guns.
ATF cannot inspect gun dealers more often than once in every 12 month period.
The Tiahrt Amendment restrictions also prevent the ATF from disclosing crime gun data to the press, advocacy organizations and scholars who are studying the problems of gun and crime and in some cases will also prevent them from testifying before Congress with details about its enforcement activities related to dealers with high numbers of crime gun traces. Some of the data that had been collected prior to the amendments that can no longer be shared included information that:
the illegal market is largely supplied by the rapid diversion of guns from a relatively few licensed gun dealers;
illegal guns in states with strong gun laws largely originate in states with weak laws, while illegal guns in states with weak laws come from in-state dealers;
laws regulating the legal market can help stem the flow of guns into the illegal market; and
certain kinds of guns are disproportionately associated with criminal activity
I just took a tour of Joe Bob's Illegal and Criminal Gun Factory where they make all these illegal guns from which good citizens need more guns to defend themselves. If we could just get that shut down then we wouldn't need to have this debate, right? They did have good coffee in the lounge though...
Oh haha, just kidding, because that place DOESN'T EXIST. Illegal guns were once "legal guns". Guess what, more legal guns means more illegal guns. If you don't get that very basic point or want to argue how that is wrong, then please return to lala land where illogic flourishes with many unicorn and monster truck rides.
More guns = more violence perpetrated with guns. Just like if we let more wild animals roams the streets, death by tiger and bear would increase. Car wrecks weren't a problem until there were cars. Until the "gun nut" sect understands that basic premise this debate is just utterly pointless.
the proverbial "elephant in the room" in all of this is that the spirit of the second amendment is not limited to protecting ourselves from bad guys, but also the potential need to confront a government that has gone bad. This is the reason they're not supposed to keep records.

I don't think f2p is why gw2 is ahead of tsw. Yeah they have similarities like the combat,but gw2 covers more bases, both games are good for leveling pve that isn't your typical wow type hub questing, tsw has the dungeons more than covered, but its poor on pvp and crafting. Gw2 is more of an alrounder its pretty good at everything, even having fairly good crafting for a themepark, where as a game like say tsw beats it a pve possibly, and a game like planetside beats it at pvp, gw2 has an alrounder package. Also more people tried it, people can't really vote on games they didn't play, hence the truly innovative wakfu in last place for innovations.
I actually think tsw beats gw2 on graphics
But its an inferior product for crafters, explorers and especially pvpers to gw2.
I think these awards should have more categories though.
Best leveling experience
Best pvp
Best dungeons
Bet crafting etc..
Then we would see more variety. No one mmo wins for all playstyles.

"You use what you create to destory what others have created."
Where is Lord of the Rings Online? You have World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria and Rift: Storm Legion yet no Lord of the Rings Online? Both Rift and WoW had expansion's this year but as did LotRO. I've been a user here for years and I really do find this website has gone down hill more and more with lack of decent list's for things like this.
You also have game's up there 'buying' votes for in-game items, titles and so on. You can't have a fair and accurate representative of the MMO community at large if you allow company's to that. Before you say you can't stop them advertising and so on that's very true, you can't. What you can do is remove them from the voting for doing that. Giving other game's a fair chance for votes. Simply don't allow them in to the vote's. It's their loss in the end, mean's one less chance for a shiny badge to plaster all over their website's Awards page (Or lack their off).
Also SW:TOR as GOTY? Really?! Which person actually thought that was truly worth been mentioned for GOTY? It was a massive failure post launch. Major issues with the game still a year after launch and not only that but one of the worst, and most restrictive implementations of a Free to Play model I've ever seen.
Also World of Tanks with Smite and LoL? Is it not about time MOBA's had their own group? Their's a fair few out there now and World of Tank's certainly shouldn't be put among them.
Hey I'm mad leave me the hell alone!

I really do not understand how any game that was released in the last month is in the GOTY.
I would love to read how these choices were made, not just in GOTY but all rewards. It does not seem they are from the votes on the main page here or the other stats this site offers, and certainly did not take account of other times of the year this site stats suggest.( Top voted games (released/dev) or Most Popular games)
I would also love to read why ppl have chosen why they think their games are the most inovated or deserve to win their rewards. I understand this is a personal choice but why do you pick some of them? Lots of bashing of others but no real arguments why they are wrong.

War is won by inches, not by miles...
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. There is no misinformation in my earlier post; I reread it to verify that my enthusiasm did not misguide me. If you cannot find a legitimate point to argue, vague statements like "misinformation" are comments of desperation. If I want to create a toon that reminds me of an action hero, or recreate said storyline from one of their movies in the Albion Theater, I CAN. If I want to create Po from Kung Fu Panda or an Elf/Sylvari, I know where to go... The movies that I referenced are obvious inspirations of TSW. I forgot to mention Edgar Allan Poe as another Inspiration. If you like Horror or Mystery, try TSW! If you like fantasy, you have many choices on the list to satisfy you. They are all good games.
Someone earlier than my post mentioned nothing good to say about TSW. Since I play it almost daily, I had to mentioned the things that I liked about TSW. Again I play both TSW and GW2.
GW2 is a fun game. I did not see it as innovative. It was a #2 in a series... Actually #5, but who is counting right? GW Prophecies, GW Factions, GW Nightfall, the expansion Eye of the North, and finally GW2, which is re-engineered with a new story set well in the future. A ton of people in my guild play GW2 on a daily basis and prefer it over TSW. I am entitled to my preference. We have monthly fees to pay for development. GW made you pay for all of the above remakes and expansion. Again, I liked every one of the GW versions above. They were fun and F2P past the initial cost.
GW2 has a huge following, primarily because it is F2P. If you read TSW's Facebook page, the primary complaints come from folks who want TSW to be F2P. Folks do not want to pay for their games anymore. In talking to folks in my guild who played TSW and left to play GW2, their resounding answer was that they did not want to pay a monthly fee and GW2 was free. In many cases, my guildies said they would go back to TSW if it were F2P. Aside from costs, the other answer I get for people playing GW2 is WvWvW, and that ends up being the main reason I go back to GW2, to help my friends in PvP. I do like the pop-up missions/area events, but they are predictable and you can follow them arond the map with the rest of the zerg. This is not much different than the go here and kill X kind of missions. GW2 has a good story, and when I need my fantasy-fix, I go to GW2.
In comparing graphics, I choose TSW.
In comparing music, I choose TSW.
In comparing storyline, I choose TSW.
In choosing something fresh, I choose TSW. TSW does not have playable elves, dwarves, or orcs; GW2 does not have this by name, but we have Sylvari, Asura, and Narn/Charr, essentially re-skinned/renamed versions of the same. I have read comments from GW2's own players that it is a better-looking FREE WoW clone. I have read comments about Boredom from GW2's playerbase. The numbers will never fully leave GW2 because it is FREE, like all of its predecessors. Regardless, GW2 is a fun game and has a lot of playability. I go back and play it regularly.
I chose a game that is NOT set in a Fantasy setting. TSW is positioned in a Modern setting and no armor is a factor in how you look. There is no race for THE uber item or THE uber armor. Your appearance is up to you, no matter what level or experience you are. If you prefer, you can look exactly as you did at start when you hit maximum skills and have spent all of your available points (SP & AP). The non-Fantasy setting leaves a ton of directions to go in, as we have the entire modern Earth to explore, not at the moment, but it can be done. Our zones are very large now, and there are others that have to be discovered.
Our franchise "officially" started in July 2012, earlier for those that were involved in our Beta. The game was fairly polished at release. The out-of-game involved in our ARGs has been widely acclaimed. There is a NEW TSW ARG going on Now. 12.12.12 is our Issue #5 and the start of our Winter Holiday Event, that actually has nothing to do with Christmas or Winter. We are celebrating the "End of the World"! Pay attention to the New TSW announcements; we are either going F2P or getting an extended 2-3 week Trial. I VOTE for the Trial, but new folks will get a longer experience to try out TSW, regardless.
Our Metacritic scores were deflated because many of our reviews were written while the game was in Beta by people that were obviously fans of "other games". The player review scores of TSW are MUCH higher than Metacritic, as a result. Our fanbase has yet to grow. Give TSW 10 years like Guild Wars or Warcraft, and who knows how successful we will be?
WoW has been re-imagined/expanded upon since its release in 2004 on the 10th anniversary of Warcraft; WoW is the fourth game released in the Warcraft universe since 1994. GW has been around since 2005. Both have a huge fan following. Face it, fans are going to vote for their fave, and all of the games above are calling in their fans to vote in this contest. I am not so worried about new accounts, as each games Facebook is obviously calling out their fanbase to vote, which is why MMORPG does votes like this... TO bring in new readers. If anyone is cheating, MMORPG will catch them... eventually.
If there is one universal complaint from TSW players, it is lack of advertising/marketing. In corresponding with folks from their marketing department, the cost of everything went way up after Age of Conan. They invested a ton in promoting the game; it just cost way more for what they did. I understand this. Some franchises have deep pockets from many years of successful re-envisioning. TSW still has to prove itself which it IS doing. I like the Underdog. Face it, there are a lot of people that simply hate Funcom and anything they make. TSW is succeeding in spite of this, because the story is simply top-notch... Once new players get a taste of this rare find (nitch game), I have a serious feeling this game will skyrocket up the charts...
Lastly, MMORPG reviewers and writers... Thank you for your articles about TSW. I am sorry that you have not been able to play it much for whatever reason. Send me a MMORPG message, and I will help you out once you get in-game. Victor, get your butt to Mars... (err, Kingsmouth) MJ from Massively has gotten in-game, and she is having a helluva time. Going to fight demons in the Hell Dimensions probably helped!

Not every fan of GW2 is like this, but enough effort was put in by fans and the company to harass and abuse TSW fans in the early days that we find it understandably hard to have any respect for the game, its producers, or its fans. It's seeing our bully win a contest, and regardless of whether or not he deserves it, it still stings to see.

THE SECRET WORLD just changed billing model. It is B2P. Monthly fees and GM Pack are still an option, but, ONCE YOU BUY THE GAME, you get to play it FREE for LIFE...
Let's see how the votes in this contest change, once everyone gets to play it. SHOP Around.. The price on the DVD edition varies by store. Online Digital Downloads also vary by your source. See you all in-game...

WASHINGTON — Is a bipartisan immigration deal at hand? It's close. Last week, the AFL-CIO and the Chamber of Commerce worked out a guest-worker compromise that allows in foreign workers on a sliding scale of 20,000 to 200,000, depending on the strength of the economy.
Nice deal. As are the other elements of the Senate's bipartisan Gang of Eight plan – the expansion of H-1B visas for skilled immigrants, serious tracking of visa overstayers and, most important, a universal E-Verify system that would make it very risky for any employer to hire an illegal immigrant.
But there's a rub. It's the perennial rub. Are Democrats serious about border enforcement? It's supposed to be the trigger that would allow illegal immigrants to start on the path to citizenship.
Why is a trigger necessary? To prevent a repeat of the 1986 fiasco where amnesty was granted and border enforcement never came – giving us today's 11 million living in the shadows. Yet just a week ago, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, referring to border enforcement, averred that "relying on one thing as a so-called trigger is not the way to go." Regarding legalization, "there needs to be certainty." But not for border security?
And she's the person in charge of securing that border. Now listen to President Obama: "Given the size of the border, it's never going to be 110 percent perfect. What we can do is to continue to improve it."
The usual Obama straw man. Who's asking for 110 percent enforcement? And the need is for something a lot more than just improvement. The objective is to reduce a river to a trickle. It's doable. The two sections with triple fencing outside San Diego have reduced infiltration by 92 percent.
To be sure, the Gang of Eight enforcement trigger is not ideal. The 11 million get near-instant legalization – on the day, perhaps six to nine months after the bill is signed, when Homeland Security submits a plan (with the required funding) to achieve within a decade 90 percent apprehension and 100 percent real-time surveillance.
This plan triggers "probationary" legalization, which in reality is permanent, because once the 11 million register, it is inconceivable their status would be revoked.
Let's be clear. A mere DHS enforcement plan is a very weak trigger. I would prefer legalization to occur later, once the plan is actually carried out and some independent body certifies that the border is essentially closed.
But that simply will not happen. Democrats control the Senate and the White House, and they will only agree to a weaker trigger. Which is? Legalization first – i.e., living here openly without fear of deportation but nothing more until the border is controlled. Until then, no one even starts on the path to citizenship – no green card, no naturalization.
So why is Obama undermining even that compromise, asserting that "this earned pathway to citizenship" must not be "put off further and further," that it must be "certain" – not contingent on verifiable benchmarks of border closure?
Are he and Napolitano signaling to their hard-core open-border constituency that they will try to sabotage passage of any law that has a serious enforcement trigger, or that they will try to sabotage enforcement if a strict law is nonetheless enacted?
Why? Isn't border control an elementary principle of sovereignty? What country deliberately forfeits the right to decide who gets to join its communal life?
Remember: We're not talking about the 11 million already here who will be legalized as a matter of both practicality and compassion.
We're talking about the next 11 million. Without border enforcement, they will be here. If you don't build it – the fence, the visa-tracker, E-Verify – they will come.
Why deliberately create the next immigration crisis? Is it because you coldly calculate that this wave and the next are destined to be partisans of your political party? Talk about placing party over country.
Or perhaps Obama intends this to be a poison pill: (1) Demonstrate unmistakable bad faith on enforcement. (2) Undermine the Gang of Eight's already weak border-control "trigger." (3) And thus force Republicans to defeat this "immigration reform" – as newly defined and newly defanged of enforcement.
Obama seems to want an issue, not a solution – a potent political issue for Democrats to demagogue in 2014 and 2016 and forever. If so, given the Democrats' incessant and lachrymose expressions of compassion for those living in the shadows, this would be the ultimate in cynicism.

Comments about The TravelSet by Tempur-Pedic®:
The write up and photo display for this product are very misleading. If you need to sleep in the back of your "pick up truck." The one with the ridges the run across the metal flooring, this expensive item might be for you. Unlike Tempurpedic's "Mattress Topper," which is mean't to be used on a "cushioned surface," this product is twice as thick, because it was not developed to be used as a "Mattress Topper." It's for sleeping on the floor. It's unneccesarily big, must be checked baggage on a plane, and not suitable for outdoor use unless you cover it with a waterproof material, which will make sleeping on it even more uncomfortable. The visco-elastic foam pad is very dense, which makes it especially suitable if your extremely heavy, or want something safe to land on if you plan to jump into bed out of a 3rd story window (Not a good recommendation at all)! Interesting concept, that's is misleading and unfortunately impractacle.

You can sleep on ANYTHING, ANYWHERE ~ even the floor. I travel to a lot of hotels for my kids soccer tournaments, and I don't leave home without my travel tempurpedic mattress. I got fed up with fighting over it with my hubby, so I purchased another one just for him - and he doesn't part easily with his money. Even my kids love it. Highly recommend it.
Outer cover (washable), has a very unpleasant odor. Just remove, wash, tumble air dry, and replace.

Customer Reviews Back to Top
Comments: I would not suggest anything else when it comes to reaction bites! This lure I found works best for post spawn largies that are eating the fry after they hatch. This lure you can fish at slow speeds and keep it in the strike zone and keeps up the sound and action! The best color of choice for me is the baby bass color in the # 7 size. The cast ability is amazing as well, you can really bomb this lure out there to keep it in the strike zone longer and increase your chances of catching fish! Not only all of this, but it also deflects cover like nothing else! I can rip this through weeds, bring it over stumps, fish it in rip rap, and over rocks. This lure I'm going to rate a 10/10! this is a great lure for any beginner crank bait anglers who want to catch a variety of nice fish!
From: Cody: Ripon, Wi.
Comments: good but not great. Finish isn't that great but has nice action on the fall. I haven't really caught a whole lot of fish on it where others are whacking them.
From: Gman: southern ny
Comments: By far the BEST lipless crank i have use. Have been catching Big bass for me. Best color that worked for me was the bluegill. Buy it you wont regret it.

By Dr. John DeGarmo
As there are differences in foster care services throughout the United States, it comes as no surprise then that there are also vast and wide differences in the way nations around the world implement their foster care services and agencies. In truth, the term "foster care" is one that has tremendous differences in various areas of the world. In many industrialized nations, foster care is commonly referred to a temporary placement, made by a state child welfare agency, with a family. For many third world and developing nations, the term "foster care" is one that refers to something that is quite different than the system established in industrialized nations. In many developing nations across the globe, poor economic situations leave little financial assistance for government assistance. Lack of available health care, adoption organizations and governmental aid for families and children are the reality.
Throughout much of Africa, the practice of placing underprivileged children into other homes is an old tradition, and not an uncommon one. As educational opportunities increase in many African nations, children are also being "fostered out" to other families, families that are closer large cities where schools are more readily available. The poor economic environment in Africa has severely affected the fostering system. The high costs of installing an effective foster care system prohibit many African countries from developing it.
For the millions of orphan children in Asian countries, the foster care system offers little hope. Fortunately, many children whose parents have died find outside parental care with extended family members, in a form of kinship living arrangement, a type of family preservation service. For some Asian nations, this is the only option that is supported by the government. As a result, millions of children who have no living extended family members find themselves without a home. More often than not, Asian governments are quick to place children into orphanages, which are overcrowded and understaffed, with children living in poor conditions.
Japan's foster care system is one that is seldom used. For those children who fall outside the cultural traditions of the nation, it is often difficult for them to find a home that is welcoming. Japan's culture is one that is resistant to foster children. Another struggle that foster children face in Japan is the lack of aftercare provisions. For those children who have aged out of the foster care system, they have little to no support, and often are completely on their own.
European countries are generally considered to have the most advanced foster care systems available. However, there are distinct differences across the continent. In the Scandinavian nations, the system is perhaps the most efficient and advanced. The governments of these nations are very involved in the promotion of foster care, and provide sufficient funds, staff and training. Western European nations have seen a reduction of government involvement in foster care, though it is still a highly developed child welfare system. Central and Eastern European nations has the weakest foster care system and the fewest amount of foster homes on the continent, but the greatest need.
Efforts are under way to bring about social change in a global foster care system. Organizations, such as the International Foster Care Organization (IFCO), are working hard to bring about a more unified way to support foster children around the world. Yet, there is much work to be done, as the foster care system is one that is drastically uneven in all four corners of the globe. All children, regardless of where they are born, have the right to a loving home, a supportive family and a stable environment. An improved global foster care system will help to make that dream a reality for millions of children.
Dr. John DeGarmo has been a foster parent for 11 years, and he and his wife have had more than 40 children come through their home. He is a speaker and trainer on many topics about the foster care system, and travels around the nation delivering passionate, dynamic, energetic and informative presentations. Dr. DeGarmo is the author of "Fostering Love: One Foster Parent's Story," and the new training book "The Foster Parenting Manual: A Practical Guide to Creating a Loving, Safe and Stable Home." He also writes for a number of publications and newsletters, both in the United States and overseas.

Dr. Tron Malachowski, the clinical director of Lowcountry Specific Chiropractic has recently published a research paper on Parkinson's disease, on the clinical management of the case utilizing Upper Cervical Specific Chiropractic protocol.
"It's really exciting to see how patients progress over time," Dr. Malachowski states. "We have had the honor of watching patients ambulate easier, stand taller and shake less since beginning Specific Chiropractic care. This research paper touches on the management of the case, and key neurological markers changing from positive to negative including: short term memory recall, orientation, rhomberg's and heel to toe walk."
"All of our cases respond differently. Neurodegenerative conditions are devastating for families and all involved. It is our intention to look deep into the case, searching for potential causative factors including severe physical traumas and chemical insults. Some of my colleagues have researched the physical trauma aspect and after investigating further, I am beginning to lean that way as well," Dr. Malachowski says.
Parkinson's disease affects approximately one million people nationally, second to Alzheimers as the most prevalent neurodegenerative condition. Those afflicted with Parkinson's disease often suffer from: tremors, trouble walking, cognition problems, getting from a seated to standing position and trouble with many other activities of daily living. It has been theorized that genetics, environmental factors and even head trauma may play a role in the disease. Scientists have found that dopamine secreting cells have been dramatically lowered in the disease, thus creating a less then satisfactory motor output.
Dr. Malachowski is currently working on another research paper that will outline three different Parkinson's cases with three completely different backgrounds. The Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) was used as a quantitative analysis in all of the cases.
"I am certainly not going to reveal to you the results quite yet, but I will share the results have been quite promising", says Dr. Malachowski.
Lowcountry Specific Chiropractic is located at 310B N Gum Street. For more information go to firstname.lastname@example.com

I like the three main actors, and that is about it; otherwise, it is a thoroughly mediocre show, and it has virtually nothing to do with Stephen King's works apart from a few tongue-in-cheek references. You can get that on Family Guy.

I like the three main actors, and that is about it; otherwise, it is a thoroughly mediocre show, and it has virtually nothing to do with Stephen King's works apart from a few tongue-in-cheek references. You can get that on Family Guy.
I think when the it goes more into the background of the main characters it gets much better. This happens more towards the end of the first season and in the second season. Otherwise what you have is just the 'trouble of the week', which indeed is not too captivating always, especially since they tend to have a rather abrupt conclusion.
I can say this much I was asked to do background again but I couldn't due to my full time job requirements. I was asked to play a "military man" and they even asked me to get a crew cut. The episode takes place in the 1950's and I do believe that season 3 delves deeper into the backgrounds of the three main characters.
That sounds interesting.
I have to echo others here. The first season was tepid at best, but things really perked in season two. I'm anticipating season three.
I've only seen trailers for the next season of Haven, but it looks like it's going to be a doozy. I really like the show, but it has almost nothing to do with the original story. And while I GET the point of the original story, I STILL found it kind of irritating.
I got first season of Haven to Christmas and I just loved it. Today I bought the second season and have
start to watch it already. Is so good.
Not in my opinion. I did bale after season 1, but just couldn't care enough to attempt season 2.
Stuck with it (well actually stopped watching for a month or so and watched some other DVDs), got better. Admittedly it didn't get better until the last 3 or 4 episodes but the improvement was remarkable.
The set up for season two was epic.
The show has gotten progressively better each season. In the second season the actors/writers came together and created 3 likable leads. In this third season, the show has done a fantastic job of expanding the mythology. On the flip side, the handling of character relations took a down turn as the show fell on old tropes of not having the characters talk to each other or introducing third parties - which scream temporary - to muddle things up.
Too bad, because now that the show is down to the final 2 or 3 episodes of the third season, all the character clutter has been removed and the show has improved because of it.

Joe Wyatt has a long list of responsibilities as naturalist at
"I manage the birds and bees, the flowers and the trees," it says.
"I love nature," he said. "Sometimes, it's not so fond of me. Like the time when I was chased by wolves in
For the past seven years, Wyatt has been working at
"I don't have a day-to-day job, it changes every single day," he said. "That's what I love."
Wyatt's last residence was
"The Panhandle is one of the most diverse places in the country," he remarked.
It's certainly not common for developments to have an on-staff naturalist working to preserve the land instead of clearing it. Wyatt credits that vision to
"Developments always get a bad rap, but there are ways to do developments and be in tune with nature and its surroundings," Wyatt said.
That's where Wyatt comes in — from monitoring the eco-friendly pest control program, to creating shelter for the hundreds of bluebirds to protecting Oak trees.
"It's about making a difference for future generations," he said. "I hope every new development would do that same thing. It's a model worth emulating whether it's 10 acres or 100."
There are about 65 bird houses scattered throughout
As part of the eco-friendly pest control program, birds, bats and even the fish stocked in the pond (
"They moved an entire softball field to avoid removing an oak tree," Wyatt said proudly.
As a nature lover, Wyatt said he would be more than happy to share ideas with like-minded developers on how to protect nature and its inhabitants while building.
By the Bay Clubhouse is about 45-acres of undeveloped land. Wyatt has been slowly clearing the land section by section to protect the bobwhite quail, an endangered species. Land in front of the clubhouse will be left alone since it is full of old, oak trees.
Yard work is just another part of the job, Wyatt said.
"My hands will fit around the wheel of a tractor or shovel as well as computer keyboard," he said. "I do whatever I can to make a long-term difference."
One of Wyatt's favorite parts of his job is interacting with the public. On the first Saturday of every month, he hosts a nature walk around
"The more you know about it, the more you understand how miraculous it is," he said.
Down the road, the
"We've released owls, hawks, flying squirrels, even an eagle," he said.

No, it's not a holly, although it does look like one.
This is one of the most common woodland understory shrubs in eastern North America, occurring from Quebec and Ontario down to Texas. It is present in a wide array of habitats, on both low ground and in the mountains, and it seems to prefer damp places. It is a shrub that does very well indeed in considerable shade.
Sometimes it's hard to distinguish a large "shrub" from a small "tree," and this plant is sometimes in between. Normally, though it gets to about 6-7 feet tall. Its leaves are smooth and dark green, and shape-wise are fairly boring. In the autumn, though, the leaves put on a terrific show, becoming bright yellow. Its flowers appear early in the spring, before the leaves. The flowers are quite small, and yellowish, crowded into small clusters up and down the stems. This species is dioecious, that is, individual plants are either male or female, as the flowers are unisexual. The flowers of "male" plants produce only pollen; "female" plants produce ovules, and, ultimately, a one-seeded, fleshy fruit. The fruits are brilliant red, and quite conspicuous. Various birds like to eat the fruits, and so scatter the plants throughout the habitat they are in. There's more natural history, too: this plant is a favorite food source for the caterpillars of one of our most spectacular swallowtail butterflies. All that said, you might want to investigate this plant as a resident of your garden. (Remember that it is the female plants that make the red berries.)
This species is related to a number of other aromatic plants, including sassafras, camphor tree, and red bay. All of these plants are placed into the laurel family or "Lauraceae," which also includes the true laurel, and avocado.
One of the old-timey common names for this shrub is "Benjamin-bush." I've tried to figure out how it got that name, and here's my idea. The whole plant is aromatic and pleasantly fragrant. One of the compounds producing this fragrance is an organic substance referred to as "benzoin," which is found in a number of different plant groups. The name "benzoin" was also applied to a fragrant gum used medicinally. Now, since our Mystery Plant has a long history of folk use as a medicinal plant, and is in fact a source of the compound benzoin, many people began calling this plant "Benzoin bush." But that got gradually corrupted into the name "Benjamin bush," which was perhaps a bit less clinical than using the chemical name. However that name became established, the plant has been used as a source of tea, and for medicinal tonics. And for flavorful toothpicks.
(NEWS FLASH: There is a relatively new plant disease out there now called "laurel wilt". It kills members of the laurel family, including native species such as red bay. Our Mystery Plant is susceptible to this disease, as are other species in the same genus. This is a serious problem now for ecologists and forest managers. You will probably start hearing more about it, unfortunately.)
Answer: "Spice bush," Lindera benzoin]

BOONVILLE - Starmount enters postseason play as the hottest team in the Mountain Valley Conference.
The Rams capped an impressive run through the back-half of their schedule Friday night with a crucial 58-55 victory over third place North Wilkes on Senior Night. The win was the squads' fourth-straight and fifth in their last seven contests.
"Huge win; loved every minute of it," head coach Rocky Horton said. "These guys have been going at each other and they've come such a long way. I can't really express how proud I am of them. To see where these guys have come has just been awesome.
"North Wilkes is a hard-nosed team but our guys kept preserving and kept playing. I honestly think we won this game at practice Wednesday and Thursday because our guys have been going at each other. It's been fun to watch," he added.
In a playoff-like atmosphere, the teams traded buckets in the first quarter with North grabbing an 18-16 advantage at the end of one.
Starmount made a charge to open the second, pulling ahead at 19-18 and 26-24. But the Vikings scored seven of the final nine points to take a 31-28 edge into the locker room.
North used an 11-2 run over the first four minutes to grab its largest lead of the night at 42-30 and threatened to run away with the game. But the Rams battled back to cut the deficit down to 45-37 heading to the decisive fourth quarter.
Starmount continued its charge in the final frame and started to chip away at the lead. Three-straight points by James Ashley trimmed the deficit to one at 53-52 midway through the period.
Gunner Cass drilled a deep trey at the top of the key to complete the comeback, giving the Rams a 55-53 edge with 3:30 left.
After North tied things up at 55-all, Starmount put the finishing touches on the comeback win down the stretch. Senior Nathan Williams hit a contested layup to put the Rams up for good at 57-55.
Cass hit a final free throw, capping a 21-10 fourth quarter to give Starmount the thrilling 58-55 victory.
"Zach Worley and Nathan Williams are our seniors and our captains and our fire. We talked about what this means to them. This could be the last time on their home court," Horton explained. "They were talking among themselves saying 'it's time to go.' We picked up the defensive intensity [in the fourth] and had some shots go our way. They're energy and attitude - they all stepped up tonight."
Cass poured in a game-high 14 points, while Luke Shore added a dozen points and nine rebounds. Ashley and Zach Worley recorded nine points apiece as eight Rams scored on the night.
With the win, Starmount secured the No. 5 seed in Monday's conference tournament with a 7-9 mark in league play. The Rams will ride the momentum of the four-game win streak and the strong second half of the season into the postseason.
"We're young and it took time for everyone to mesh together. But there is no better time to start peaking than the end," Horton said. "This is the time we need to keep improving because we've played hard all year. And here we are. Taking four wins into the tournament is great for the kids.
"We're ready. They want to play. Our guys are fearless and we've been playing like that lately," he added.

I got pretty excited the other day. Not as excited as when the Mistress of the Manor agrees to play "master plumber and lonely housewife," but pretty excited nonetheless. No, what got me excited the other day was the discovery of the "God particle," you know, that crucial subatomic particle that could unlock the greatest mysteries of the universe.
Now, this particular particle is also known as the Higgs Boson because a nerd named Peter Higgs theorized about it in 1964. What I don't get is why the particle was named after him, considering that he didn't really find it, in reality, and isn't that what it's all about? He just suggested it existed. I have suggested, or theorized, if you will, many things over the years, just ask the Mistress of the Manor; and most of them have been rejected. Sometimes it's a simple "No." Sometimes it's an emphatic "NO?" And sometimes, it's "Are you out of your mind?"
I was the first person to theorize that if you remain in the same position for the entire basketball game your team will never lose. Okay, that theory has been proven wrong. However, it did lead to another theory, and that is, if you remain in the same position for two hours you will need a chiropractor. That theory has been proven right. I also theorized at one time – during my distinguished college career – that if you flood your body with enough alcohol and chemicals you become the "God particle." That too was proven wrong. However, it too, lead to another theory, and that is, if you flood your body with chemicals and alcohol you end up with a grade point average equal to one achieved by an off-kilter hamster.
The so-called "God particle" holds the critical explanation of where the mass of all matter comes from. Now, "Rooster" Edwards and I have both theorized on this matter. I theorized it could be found in the exhilaration of driving from Hillsville to the dorms at Radford University in just 28 minutes, while "Rooster" said he found it while hunting on Buffalo Mountain when he came face to face with the granddaddy of all bears, which proceeded to rip him a new one, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, once I heard the news about the discovery of the "God particle" I began to research the matter just to see what benefit this would have for us common folk. One source said "we might need other models, other than the Higgs Boson, to explain the whole thing in a coherent way." Well, coherent was what I was looking for, but what I got was a bunch of double-talk and gobbledygook that led me to believe these so-called scientists weren't even sure what we had on our hands.
I finally found an article with a section entitled "How does this benefit anyone?" Now, I was expecting something like "We will now learn the meaning of life," or "We will now be able to create a utopia on the planet Earth," or "We will now be able to teleport from one place to another in a matter of seconds," or, at least, "Who put the bomp in the bomp bah bomp bah bomp, who put the ram in the rama lama ding dong." But did I find the answers to any of these pressing questions? Nnnoooooooo. Instead, I got "There is no direct benefit that we can easily see in our everyday lives."
Given this, what in the name of Enrico Fermi is all the excitement about? I mean, if we can't do fun things like teleport, or become invisible and sneak into the dressing rooms of the Victoria's Secret models, what good is this so-called "God particle." Seems to me, a particle with a name like that should open up new horizons, expand our minds or, at least allow us to sneak a peek, sight unseen.
The next time scientists come out with a big announcement, claiming they've discovered something major, everybody just needs to relax. What's exciting for scientists apparently isn't what's exciting for folks of my ilk. The "God particle" doesn't live up to its name, maybe just call it "Rooster" Edwards particle.

Family Court Services
Frequently Asked QuestionsGeorge Allen Sr. Courts Building . 600 Commerce Street . Suite 201 . Dallas, Texas 75202
How long will the social study take?
Social studies average 90 days to complete from the date of the first appointment. Common factors that delay completion beyond that time frame include:
Do I have to meet in the same room with the other party (my ex.)?
It is customary to have at least one session where the clients to the suit are seen at the same time. As the vast majority of our clients will continue to co-parent their children, it is important to observe how the parents work together. If family violence has occurred or protective orders are in place, then clients are not usually seen together.
Do my other children have to participate?
The children living within each household, who are not the subjects to the suit, are seen as a component of the family unit. Each family unit will impact the children in question and it is important to see how each member contributes.
Why do I have to do this?
The Judge has ordered the social study for the purpose of obtaining a neutral assessment of you and your family from a professional who understands the family dynamics and the impact of divorce and litigation on children. The judge uses this information and the rest of the information obtained during the litigation process to determine what is in the best interest of the children.
How long does the orientation last?
The orientation lasts approximately ninety minutes. In most cases your first interview will follow the orientation and can last from one to two hours
Do I have to repeat the orientation if I have attended before?
If you have attended the orientation for either a social study or mediation within the last twenty-four months, you do not need to repeat.
Are stepparents or family members allowed to participate in the interviews?
Stepparents are welcome to attend orientation and they will be included in the social study, as will fiancés and living partners. They must complete the same personal history information as the clients. However, as the first interview is designed to gain historical perspective of the original family unit and the issues of the case, it usually involves just the named clients. All persons living in the home with the children will be interviewed. Children should not attend orientation or the first interview.
Do I receive a copy of the report?
Copies of the report which Family Court Services files with the court are only available to the attorneys of record or to clients who have represented to the court that they are acting as their own attorney.
Why have I not been contacted to begin the social study?
Cases are assigned in the order in which they are received after all required information has been provided to Family Court Services (FCS). Typical reasons for delay of the study:
How do I obtain a fingerprint record for adoptions?
In order to comply with the Texas Family Code, Section 162.0085, effective September 1, 1995, adoption petitioners must undergo a criminal background check completed by the Texas Department of Public Safety in Austin, Texas.
To obtain the criminal background check the following is required:

If this weren't limited edition, Maybelline would have a lifelong fan in me!! It adds dimension to your eye effortlessly. It fits well with my natural skintone, so I don't even need to blend that much. Much more buttery than the other color tattoos that I own from the permanent collection.

Maybelline Seashore Frosts 24HR Color Tattoo Eyeshadow ($5.99 for 0.14 oz.) is a muted, grayish-blue with gold and pink shimmer–it is a very interesting and complex shade. It applies with semi-opaque color in a single layer, and for me, it does best with one layer–more than one, and it just clumps up and becomes uneven. The texture was thin and slippery, so it was easy to apply and blends out best with fingertips. I saw light creasing after ten hours (no primer) with this shade. Clinique Big Blue is a bit darker, not as nuanced. Make Up For Ever #940 isn't blue, but it has a very similar duochrome/sheen to it (so you could use it layered over a blue for a similar effect). L'Oreal Infinite Sky is bluer, not as muted, no sheen/shimmer like Seashore Frosts. Chanel Destination lacks the golden shimmer/sheen. See comparison swatches here.
