Q:I am having a terrible time with hormonal cystic acne and oily skin. I read online that Herbalism would be the way to go. Once I went into a Lush store they told me Herbalism would be good but for cystic acne Aqua Marina would help much more so I ended up getting it. Wanted to know what your thoughts were comparing the two for help with cystic acne.Asked on 7/4/2015 by stacy needs help
1 answer
A:I would recommend Herbalism for active acne breakouts. The herbs will help balance out the oils, and it is a nice deep cleanser.Answered on 7/16/2015 by Sal
Q:Is this less drying than Fresh Farmacy? Fresh Farmacy tends to dry out my skin, so I was considering using this in the morning and using Fresh Farmacy before bed, and using a mask a few times a week for exfoliation.
Is that possible? I have sensitive, combination skin.Asked on 6/10/2015 by Athena
1 answer
A:Yes, it should be because there's more moisturizing properties like seaweed! Also, it's more nourishing because it clay based rather than Fresh Farmacy, which has a soap base. You can try using Fresh Farmacy every few days and not every day, and couple that with a Fresh Face Mask 2-3 times a week.Answered on 6/12/2015 by Pauline
Q:Would you recommend this product for dry skin that doesn't seem to retain moisture well? If not, which cleanser would be best?Asked on 6/8/2015 by Clover
4 answers
A:I prefer Angels on Bare Skin. I use Aqua Marina when I get sunburns and my normal/oily nose fave feels very dry and tight after I wash it. I need toner and moisturizer to feel normal again. Angels never makes my fave feel dry, even without moisturizer. That being said I do like both.Answered on 7/23/2015 by Estrogenfest from Annapolis, MD
A:I love this cleanser - I have sensitive skin and will buy this cleanser as
long as it is available!!!Answered on 6/9/2015 by Anonymous
A:Aqua Marina is a great choice for dry skin both because it contains gentle ingredients, and cleans with clay instead of a lather like some traditional cleansers.Answered on 6/9/2015 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:Yes, this is great for dry skin because it doesn't strip your skin of
moisture like a lot of foaming cleansers do. If you wear makeup I'd
recommend removing that first, (I just use coconut oil), since it doesn't
remove makeup well.Answered on 6/9/2015 by Anonymous
Q:I was told at my local lush store that this product is being discontinued. :( is this true?Asked on 6/5/2015 by Cat from Boston,MA
1 answer
A:It's true that a list has been published by a shop in the UK, but that doesn't mean anything for us here in North America yet! Often, changes that happen in the UK do end up happening here across the pond, but we'll be sure to give our Lushies lots of notice first. If we do have to say goodbye to some products, though, it means there will be more room in our shops for beautiful new products!Answered on 6/8/2015 by Lana from LUSH Direct
Q:How well does Aqua Marina exfoliate the skin? Is it enough to aid in a little flakiness and blackheads on the nose? This product sounds great for my skin otherwise.Asked on 5/26/2015 by Riz
2 answers
A:Aqua Marina has a very creamy texture to it, so there aren't ingredients within it that will exfoliate. You can definitely use it in combination with something a little bit scrubbier!Answered on 6/1/2015 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I use Aqua Marina followed by either Let the Good Times Roll, Angels on Bare Skin or Ocean Salt. Aqua Marina has a smooth and creamy texture and is an excellent cleanser, but I follow up with one of the aforementioned products to exfoliate.Answered on 5/27/2015 by Anonymous
Q:Can I use this if I am pregnant?Asked on 4/29/2015 by TuTu Preggers from Atlanta, GA
2 answers
A:We list all of our ingredients on our product pages, so I would recommend taking this product to a physician if you are at all unsure. Although I do not see any ingredients that I think would cause troubles, it is always best to consult a doctor.Answered on 5/6/2015 by Sal
A:Sorry but I have no idea. Can't imagine it would be harmful as it is a topical product, and as long as you aren't allergic to any of the ingredients I'd think you should be okay. I suggest you show the list of ingredients to your doctor and ask if he thinks it's okay for you to use.Answered on 4/30/2015 by Anonymous
Q:Is this a good cleanser for a healing tattoo?Asked on 4/8/2015 by Em from Buffalo
2 answers
A:It is definitely best to consult with your tattoo artist to ensure you are using a cleanser that is appropriate for you, but in general Aqua Marina is likely a nice choice if you are looking for something gentle.Answered on 4/10/2015 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:It is, but only after this first 2 or 3 days so that your skin in not still
open. It is extremely mild and gentle, and is moisture packed.Answered on 4/8/2015 by Anonymous
Q:Can I use this cleanser as a make up remover? If not, are there any products similar to this that would serve that purpose?Asked on 3/26/2015 by Nayda from Reading, Pennsylvania
1 answer
A:I would recommend using Ultrabland cleanser or 9 to 5 cleanser as a makeup remover!Answered on 3/27/2015 by Kels from LUSH Direct
Q:My skin is very reactive as well as oily and it dries out easily when I use the Herbalism everyday twice a day. Will Aqua Marina be gentle enough for my reactive/sensitive and oily skin and not dry it out?Asked on 10/21/2014 by Maybearee from Keller, Tx
2 answers
A:Yes, Aqua Marina is a great gentle cleanser for sensitive and oily skin! The calamine works great to calm the most irritated of skins, the seaweed used nourishes the skin, and sea salt works wonderfully as super gentle exfoliant.Answered on 11/14/2014 by Anonymous
A:I also have really sensitive skin, and Aqua marina gets a little too harsh on my skin. I would recommend the mask of magnaminty. It helps control the oil, leaves me feeling fresh, and I've been using it for about a year with no problems of it irritating my skin.

Q:I've taken my tub of Aqua Marina into the shower with me and it's gotten very moist/soft and quite wet. I just want to know if that will affect it in any negative way. (For example) Will the quicken up the expiry date? or will mold start to grow?Asked on 10/20/2014 by lilyrosex2
1 answer
A:It should be fine to use, but in the future try to keep the Aqua Marina dry and out of the shower. Or if you are have to use it in there definitely keep the container out of the water and only take what you need!Answered on 11/14/2014 by Anonymous
Q:can this be use daily?Asked on 10/8/2014 by bevie
2 answers
A:Of course! It was designed to be gentle enough to use twice a day!Answered on 10/9/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
A:?Yes, it can! I used to use this product daily religiously and I loved it! It was perfect for my skin.

Q:Is this product suitable for all skin types, or is it specifically meant for just one type of skin?Asked on 6/19/2014 by Kingsley from Green Bay, WI
1 answer
A:Aqua Marina can be used on any type of skin. It is especially nice for people with sensitive skin as it contains calamine.Answered on 9/12/2014 by Anonymous
Q:I will be going out of the country for 6 months and am thinking of buying Aqua Marina Cleanser for both my body and face. I would use it everyday, and possibly even 2x a day on my face.
How many ounces do you recommend buying? How long does a 8.8oz last? thanks!! Please let me know asap!Asked on 6/17/2014 by Kayla
2 answers
A:Aqua Marina only has a three month shelf life so if you are travelling for 6 months it won't be okay to use for that long.Answered on 9/12/2014 by Anonymous
A:That is hard to guage, but if it helps, the Fresh Farmacy soap bar is made with the same properties and I can imagine you could bring 3 bars and be fine! I noticed my Aqua Marina had an expiration date, so this won't happen with the bars. Check out the ingredients! Good luck and buon voyage!Answered on 8/21/2014 by New Lushie Loyalist from Venice, Italy
Q:Does Aqua Marina fade tans?Asked on 6/14/2014 by Jessica from United States

A:Aqua Marina doesn't contain ingredients that should fade tans, no.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:I am considering buying this product but I was wondering what moisturizer and toner would best suit this? I have normal to combo skinAsked on 6/6/2014 by Whit Whit from Georgia
3 answers
A:The toner and moisturizer you choose really just depends on your skin, and what works best for you. If you don't have any major issues with oil, Breath of Fresh Air is a great balancing toner, as well as Imperialis moisturizer.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I use the Tea Tree Toner and then Vanishing Cream moisturizer. The rose toner might work well too because its soothing like the calamine in the Aqua Marina. I like the Vanishing Cream moisturizer with it because it gives the perfect amount of moisture- I sometimes find Aqua Marina to be a TINY bit drying, but the Vanishing Cream is perfect- it does not leave skin greasy at all!Answered on 6/19/2014 by Sofi from Ipswich, MA
I use the Tea Tree Toner and Gorgeous moisturizer with the Aqua Marina
cleanser. Both products are smooth and light. They absorb well into my
skin year-round without leaving any residue or shine. All products give me
a fresh face morning dew look. You'll be happy with the Aqua Marina
cleanser no matter what products you use with them. It has reduced the
frequency of breakouts.
Please let me know if you need additional information.

Q:I've been using this product for a few weeks and usually have a difficult time washing all of it off of my face even when I scrub vigorously, upsetting my skin. Any suggestions on how to get it all off without rubbing my face raw?Asked on 4/25/2014 by Jess from Pittsburgh, Pa
4 answers
A:Try using less product, you only need a pea sized amount. Also, use a warm wash cloth to remove any excess product on your skin.Answered on 5/3/2014 by Jeanine from LUSH Direct
A:Perhaps you are using too much? You only need a pea-sized bit. Put the droplet in your cupped hand, add water to make a water paste, then apply. Does this help?Answered on 4/30/2014 by Anonymous
A:Just use a little less, you really don't need much to clean your face with, and then just use copious amounts of water to rinse and use your hands in a circular motion! hope this helps!
Sent from Windows MailAnswered on 4/25/2014 by Anonymous
I use very little of the product at a time. I make it kinda runny (thinner
than a paste) by mixing it with water in the palm of my hand. Then I just
use my fingers to apply like face lotion.
I also don't use a washcloth at all but lots of water to gently rinse my
face, (but my skin is extremely sensitive.)
It's always easiest in the shower bc then I'm sure to adequately rinse my
neck & hairline, (which are the places I tend to miss. )
Hope this helps.
DianneAnswered on 4/25/2014 by Anonymous
Q:I currently use Aqua marina and I love it. However I also want to buy a pot of Let the good times roll because I think it will provide a bit more exfoliation and moisture. I guess my question relates to if using a cleanser two times a day will be too much. I was thinking of using Let the good times roll to wash my face in the morning, and aqua marina before going to bed. Is this a good idea or should I cut down on how many times I use a cleanser? If it's alright, is the timing of it good, or should I use let the good times roll at night and aqua marina in the morning?Asked on 2/15/2014 by ila
2 answers
A:Both cleansers are gentle enough to be used twice daily, and it really just depends on your own preference which one you use in the morning, and which you use in the evening. We would recommend experimenting both ways to see which is best for you!Answered on 3/26/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I use Aqua Marina twice a day but follow it up with a moisturizer to
prevent my skin from drying out.Answered on 2/15/2014 by Anonymous
Q:How is this product compared to fresh farmacy? Which one is better for acne and sensitive skin? What about fading post acne scars?Asked on 1/3/2014 by girl
3 answers
A:Aqua Marina and Fresh Farmacy both contain soothing calamine, so both are great choices for sensitive skin! Since Fresh Farmacy also contains tea tree oil, which works as a natural antiseptic, it does have a bit of an advantage in taking care of acne.
Exfoliation and citrus ingredients are the best way to reduce the appearance of acne scars, and neither Fresh Farmacy nor Aqua Marina incorporate these. Ocean Salt would be best for this purpose, but if you'd rather use something more gentle, Angels on Bare Skin is a great exfoliator as well!Answered on 3/21/2014 by Brandy from LUSH
A:I have hormonal cystic acne and occasional dry spots. Most cleansers and acne products, including Fresh Farmacy, have made me break out even more. I've been using Aqua Marina for two weeks and, while I haven't noticed a change in my old acne scars, my face is generally brighter, smoother, and less oily at the end of the day. The little bumps I've had as long as I can remember along my hairline and on my chin are nearly gone.Answered on 2/11/2014 by Karol from DC
A:for me, this has done nothing to fade my acne scars :(Answered on 2/6/2014 by ah2ris from Valencia, CA

Google Desktop has a new version that includes support for Microsoft Office 2007 formats, Windows Vista and Firefox 2.0.
But the most visible change is the new sidebar, that looks much better. You'll find transparent areas, new icons, easier to use options. All in all, the sidebar will look closer to the desktop and the gadgets will have a distinct touch.
"The new Sidebar is transparent, so it fits seamlessly with your desktop environment. Gadgets that fought for attention now look right at home, and content-heavy gadgets get new frames and icons that make it easier to tell them apart. All of this leads to a better place to find your email, news, feeds, stock prices, weather and other essential information," concludes Google Desktop blog.
Another change is that Google Desktop sends you to the cached version if you click on a search result that has been deleted or moved, so you no longer get an error message. The site: operator can now be used in Google Desktop, to search the web history.
It will be interesting to see how many Vista users decide to install Google Desktop. As you know, Microsoft Vista includes a sidebar and has a built-in desktop search. So maybe we can expect more from Google Desktop 5.0.
Google Desktop started as a desktop search tool available from your browser, and became a central point for user's information flow.

Rated 4.9 out of 5Â by 95 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by StardustRainbow FABULOUS I saw this and thought I do not need another over sized scarf, but what can I say... I love scarves. I am so glad I decided to indulge my love of scarves. This is my new favorite. It is HUGE but the material is so thin, it does not overwhelm my neck. So cool! Looks great as a neck scarf and as a head wrap. USA! 4.21.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by TheFrenchGirlSoleil I'm in love! But Free People is slow at restocking I love this scarf so much. I purchased it in Taupe because I feel that the flag is more noticeable and it stands out in this color. However, I have been waiting for the Seafoam color for months. I hope they restock it soon because I would love to buy it! Great style, fantastic price! 12.25.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NKing Love this Scarf!!! I love this scarf so much I def would repurchase in the mint color! Please bring that color back!! My scarf is huge and I brought it to the beach and it kept me warm all day! Get this scarf, you won't regret it! 10.16.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by owlaboutlondon Bring back the Seafoam/sky blue!! I have this scarf in the taupe/red and absolutely love it! I love it so much that I have been coveting the seafoam color since May, but it's been sold out everywhere! Please please please bring back the scarf in seafoam!! I know many girls have also been on the hunt for this color and it would make us all so happy :) 10.7.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by honeyfoxe 50 stars of perfect This scarf is one word only: amazing. I saw both the taupe and charcoal in store, tried both of them on, but went for the taupe because I'm all for statement pieces (I wear black on black on black) and it was such a beautiful patriotic pop in the face, I love it. The charcoal is also beautiful, but with the way I dress, it was very muted and I could barely tell what the scarf's pattern was with all the dark hues going on. So, in the end, it just depends on everyone's cup of tea. But, definitely buy one while they're still in stock because I for one, know how fast these babies go out, since I missed out on the last time. 8.22.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Katzchen Amazing! I was debating on getting the Charcoal or Taupe for a while, but since I'm not a big fan of red I went with the Charcoal, and I LOVE it!! This scarf is so huge, and can be worn so many different ways. Once (if ever) they bring back the Seafoam color one, I'll buy it right away! I just hate how in NC its been in the 90's lately, so I cant wear it yet! :( But once fall/winter comes, I'll probably be wearing it every day! Which is another reason I loved the Charcoal because it can go with anything! Its a huge scarf but it doesnt weigh you down, and will keep you warm and stylish! 8.15.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Cartravsmom PERFECT I Got this scarf for an olympic themed event but I am actually thinking that I will wear this year round. Olympics or not! It looks great with jeans and a t-shirt or with a simple white dress. I am going to wear this a lot this Fall! One side note is that it does rub off some red dye on whites so beware if you are wearing a favorite shirt or something expensive under it. 8.15.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ziggyg Super Fab Huge, lightweight, vintage looking, square ish shape - Always sells out! 7.31.2012

In a few short hours, we will turn the page on another calendar year.
The New Year is a common time for all of us to reflect on the past 12 months, think about things we would like to change in our lives and find ways to make the next year even better. Resolutions are shared like proclamations:
The most common resolutions tend to center on improved health and lifestyle. But sometimes they are too vague and sound like they could apply to anyone. How will you lose the weight? What will you do to reduce your stress? What kind of job would make you feel like you are not working, but fulfilling your life's mission? If you cannot outline concrete actions that will help you live out your resolution, it may be that you have chosen a resolution that you think you need to embrace rather than one that you actually want to follow through on in 2014.
So this year, rather than resolving to shun sweets, run five miles a day and give up all vices at once, why not come up with some resolutions that might actually make a difference in how you look at life?
It does not matter so much what you resolve to do, as long as it is something that excites you, something you want to see through to the end, something that is feasible and something that improves your life or the lives of those around you. By making meaningful resolutions, it is less likely they will turn into unfulfilled promises that are forgotten by Feb. 1.
Have an innovative resolution for 2014? Share it in the comments below or on our Facebook page.

Have any good grits recipes? I do, dump 23 cases of instant mix into a pool of cold water and add one adult male or female layered in sweat pants and duct tape. Get them to flop around and roll in the mix for 10 seconds and pull them out. Tasty? No. Very funny? Yes.
I got this recipe after visiting St. George this past weekend for the 24th World Grits Festival. The festival, which attracts about 30,000 people over three days, is popular for one of the craziest events I have ever seen-- rolling in the grits.

With so many titles adopting the Freemium model and relinquishing their Pay to Play roots, it has come to my attention that I severly dislike the industry's new direction regarding business models. The Freemium model, that has been adapted to quite a few large MMORPG's, as of now, establishes complications that I, as an avid MMORPG gamer, find hard to cope with. Of course, the Freemium model does have its benefits, I will not deny such a thing. Yet, in all honesty, I believe it does not bode well with the qualities I look for when searching for a new MMORPG to play.
1.) The Freemium model affects a game's community.
Quite evidently, the Freemium model makes a game more accessible to the general populace. This in turn, however, has many negative impacts on a game's community. First, it absolutely cripples a game's ability to form and maintain a predominant, yet tight-knit community. The Freemium model makes it easy for completely new players to come into a game, yet not commit to it. This creates a flux that makes it difficult for a proper community to establish. Not only that, the players that are attracted to Freemium models can disrupt a community through their maturity level. Finally, the Freemium model has the tendency of separating the player-base into those that decide to spend some cash and those that do not. This leads to a sort of discrimantion within the community and only serves to fragment it even more.
2.) The Freemium model disconnects a player from the game world and lessens immersion.
From loading screens to NPC vendors, the developers of Freemium games are in constant action trying to promote their real-world-money-bought items. The ever-so present advertisements are a constant reminder that you are not role-playing your character within a virtual world, but playing a game where real-world money can net you benefits. It is also important to point out that developers in the Freemium model have the monetization of content and features as a primary concern. The way they develop content is drastically affected by the Freemium model, because they are constantly searching for the easiest ways to monetize the game.
3.) The Freemium model encourages Pay to Win.
The Freemium model allows players to buy items of power with real-world money. Sure, a lot of these items can be obtained through more standard means, like actually playing the game, yet it diminishes absurdly the feeling of accomplishment from obtaining these items. Imagine spending hours in a dungeon trying to obtain a powerful new sword for your warrior, finally getting it only to step out into the game world to see that someone else has the same item, and finding out that they didn't work for it like you did, they bought it off the store. It is absolutely buzz-killing. Not only that, the model tempts you into buying advantages for your character because MMO's are about playing with others, and most importantly against others. Even in a PvE scenario, you compare yourself to someone who has forked some cash over and they progress faster, they have access to cooler things, etc. No one wants to fall behind or feel less powerful.
Suffice to say, it is a model that goes against the MMO, in MMORPG, by crippling and separating communities, and against the RPG, by allowing players to take shortcuts by spending real-world cash, always reminding us that we are not role-playing a powerful mage or a renowned knight, but instead playing a game where money can absolutely dictate how we engage it.
Login or Register to never see this panel
Now don't get me wrong because I completely agree with you as I much prefer a sub based game. However there are two things you could argue against.
First, you could simply point out some of those people spending the money for faster progression or specific items that while obtainable in game, can also be bought for real money in the shop. It might be their line of work or responsibilities don't give them the time to grind a dungeon for X runs/hours but they do have the excess money to make it happen their way. While it may not be the way you or me choose it is a valid route I believe.
Second, in regards to money breaking immersion, that is simply not true unless you let it be. You could imagine that fellow has a powerful or influential patron. A merchant princes darling son he dotes on and buys him all those phat lewtz even though he isn't that great of a warrior. The mage could have all that power because his familial fortune allowed him the best schooling if those exist in the world, and so he advanced faster than people who garnered theirs via adventuring.
Let me provide a few examples to further enlighten my point on Freemium models breaking immersion.
You're running around town looking for citizens that require your assistance, you turn a corner and among the shadows of an abandoned alley you spot a desolate little girl that has clearly been weaping. You approach her and offer an ear to hear her tale of dismay, and as she concludes her explanation of the events that have led to her current state of being, you decide to lend her some assistance. A new window appears on your screen, what could this be? "In order to accept this quest, you must first buy the "Desolate Girl Quest Pack" now for a special price of $4.99!"
You decide to group up with a wizard you met nearby and embark in an epic adventure to reach the depths of an ancient dragon's lair. You are both ready to begin, mounted on your horses, and as you begin your journey, the wizard disbands and rides elsewhere. Puzzled, you ask him the reason for such abruptness. "Can't do that dungeon, sorry! Have to buy it."
In that respect I most certainly agree it breaks immersion. Reminds me of that fellow that showed up in your camp in DA:O for the Warden Commander quest.
I think an idea might perhaps be by blocking the areas any secondary content you might not have access to behind something that would make sense in the game world. As an example, in DDO (ignoring all the other blatant advertising) there is the doors to leave the harbor and head into the marketplace. By gating content in that particular way, maybe a portal they don't have the "spell" or some such to pass through etc. it could help allay that feeling. The problem is you'll always be shocked out of the immersion to some degree even if it is an internally consistent way to bar progression like that since you know it is because you never paid. That would be the issue with the severe content gating you see in freemium models.
DDO! Absolutely loved that game, but since Turbine changed the business model, I simply can't stand it. Hell, they're going to sell +4 tomes in the store! I have never seen a +4 tome drop, ever! They were one of the most sought-after and rare items, and now, well now you can just open the store and spend X amount of dollars and get one for yourself!
I admit I never made it far enough for +4s to be relevant to me but I can kind of see why they did it, but also why it is obnoxious.
If it really is super rare, that would be very appealing to the people who love leveling all their chars to max and then reincarnating them and all that jazz. As the game really does appeal to min/maxing since it attempts to mimic the ruleset so closely that +4 is going to be a huge temptation for those sorts of people. Though it does sort of appeal to the second argument I made about having a wealthy patron and the such.
However something that powerful, since +4 to your basic stats is a pretty intense thing in 3.5 seems crazy, especially to make it anything but ultra rare. It will force people who enjoy the process start to feel obligated to perhaps buying the tomes so that they can participate in some of that sweet, sweet Underdark action with the friends who did invest all the money into tomes and not feel like an anchor.

I like the Freemium model. There are so many more players. While I might not be able to converse with them all, knowing and seeing they are there enriches my gaming experience. There is nothing worse via MMOs than a P2P game that is dead and empty.

And you feel that sub-based MMOs are not looking for the easiest ways to keep you paying a sub?
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

Freemium breaks immersion every time you look at the store.
Advertisements of the shop, the loreless gear, the cosmetic gear that looks like you spent money on it, money here, money there.
I miss games where everything I saw was an active part of the world. Not some 'hehe bonus' or shop-only potions.

Perhaps tomorrow will be better.
Two major reasons i despise it...
1 they are looking for ways to get more money out of you,liek the 15 bucks a month wasn't enough already.
2 You now have to pay extra to get content you would normally get for the one time price of 15 bucks.EQ2 is a brutal example,you pay 15 bucks and yo ustill don't get some housing or some newer content.
If you look at the Eq2 SOE model,you pay 15 bucks a month,pay more for housing,buy new xpacs,pay extra for content like the dungeon building content,it is like they are trying to get 30 bucks a month plus an extra xpac ort two a year out of us.
It is bad enough games have been really getting bad for delivering depth or just common content.Most games are delivering really shallow gameplay and a few maps.

It's true: Free to play doesn't mean free to play everything. It means you can play the game, without paying anything, to a certain point. Bills need to be paid as do employees. How would you feel if the product you work to create and/or process was wanted for free? How would that effect your paycheck? :)
How can there be so many questions still or ways to hash this out?

I did read it but I'm on a phone so I didn't quote correctly for context. I was commenting on how games like EQ2 are not really free but carrot on a stick. In fact EQ2 also has a sub option if you want everything "unlocked".
In regards to the OP the one thing freemium does is bring a fuller world of players. I actually prefer a sub model as well for all the points you listed. Unfortunatly there are too many titles out there now and people are spread out, the money is spread out. Freemium models, especially ones with sub options, bring something for everyone.

Freemium games are pay to win
Someone has more bag space than you? He/she has less trips to the vendor/AH, so levels faster. And is able to sell more, and earn more money in-game
Stuck with the basic classes? Someone can pay to unlock the advanced ones, and have a large advantage over you
Can't use rare items? This is the biggest sign of pay to win by many who explain pay to win games and why they are horrible. Someone can pay to use rare items, and therefor win and have a HUGE advantage over you
Can't use advanced spells? (mostly this is regards to EQ2)...pay and you can unlock them. Sort of similar to the above. Again another HUGE advantage to those who can only use the basic ranks of spells/abilities
At least a fully pay to play MMO, or a fully free to play MMO (a true free to play, not a freemium), everyone is on an even level.

Sub / P2P games are P2W because if you don't buy the xpacs you're locked out of content even if you're still locked into the subscription.

And yet sadly DDO is the far best freemium game when it comes to these things.
I have to agree with OP, freemium games are crap.
I can live with F2P games where none subscribers get more grind, that is fine but when people who cough up real money gets better stuff than really good players that earns their stuff ingame things are just plain wrong.
I dont care about skins or superficial stuff but selling good gear for real money takes out th fun of any game for me. To work for something and then get it and show it off in town have always been one of the core things in MMOs, when you just can buy anything instead I have no motivation to actually play.
There are of course other stuff in MMOs that makes me play than gear but as long as there are P2P and B2P games that allows the good players to get unique stuff I wont play anu freemium games.
And no, getting good gear shouldnt really only be dependant on time spent either, a good player should be able to get good gear fast while a bad one either have to spend a lot of time or might never get it unless he becomes better. That is why I hate daily quests as well, they reward you for time and nothing else.

BMW UK has launched the first commercial for 1-series M coupe, which recently went on sale in England. The commercial features a valencia orange 1M coupe on some empty twisties in the countryside poised to swallow up some tarmac, followed by some serious driving.

Instead, its appeal is discovered once you settle into the supportive bucket seats behind the thick steering wheel. Its allure is captured in the masterful combination of a torque-laden engine mated to … CONTINUED
Jalopnik prints their 1M first drive review, echoing what many auto publications have said before them – that the 1M is most surely an M car. Driver Mike Spinelli was impressed with the car's great limits, handling, and stance. Perhaps the best compliments paid were the constant comparisons and references to big brother M3.
First video of a top speed run in a BMW 1M coupe result in a reading of 264km/h (164mph)! The video shows just how strong the 1M pulls in all ranges, even above 100mph. The car has also been tuned by BMW to sound great from the cockpit, with a great mixture of engine, air induction, and exhaust noise. Check out the run inside.
1Addicts member and future track instructor Dan Parker has taken delivery of his beautiful white 1M coupe. He provides his initial review of the 1M, as well as some great insight into how it compares to the E46 M3 and the Z4 M Coupe. Read the full review and see photos/video inside.
EmmDrei provides some updated and clearer photos of his black 1M coupe modified with BMW performance parts. Full gallery inside.
Here's the first great look at an alpine white 1M coupe next to a mineral white M3 coupe. Both are beautiful in their own way, with the 1M coupe taking on a boxier, more overtly aggressive look, while the M3′s lines and bulges are sleeker and more discrete. One thing we're sure of – the owners of each love their car!
The BMW 1M coupe press test fleet vehicles have hit US shores (along with many US owners' 1Ms we hear). These BMWNA (NJ) bound 1M coupes have been spotted throughout the east coast.
Look for 1M reviews by the US publications soon!
Well, that didn't take long. 1M deliveries just began, but this black 1M coupe has already seen a whole host of modifications, both performance and cosmetic. Current modifications include BMW Performance kidneys, spoiler, steering wheel and seats, combined with Plus street legal Schroth 4-point harnesses.
Future modifications to come include: shifter rebuild, steel brake lines, and Pirelli P Zeros tires.
Right out of the gates InsideLine goes for the jugular and lets the readers know their overall opinion of the car. "The 2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe is a fantastically compelling machine. It is fast — faster in real-world terms than the M3 on most roads." And that is the basis for the rest of the article, which is filled with praise after praise.
Edmunds states what we know, the power doesn't match up to the M3, however the massive torque figure makes up for the … CONTINUED
animah from Switzerland has taken delivery of his VO BMW 1 Series M Coupe and want kind enough to open a thread to share photos and his experiences with his car so far with everyone. Whats more, he goes as far to leave an open mic for anyone to ask questions about the car and he will do his best to answer them!
CAR Magazine got its hands on the 1-series M coupe and the conclusion is like that of the other auto magazines before it – that it is a proper M car, no doubt. Their review focused on comparing the 1M coupe to other BMW offerings (both M and non-M) in assessing whether they felt the 1M was a proper M car and which, if any, of its technology and engineering was a step forward for the M division. Catch some of their notable findings inside.… CONTINUED
The most renowned German sports car magazine Sport Auto has published their review. The biggest news first, the 1M did a 1:14.1 in Hockenheim. To add some perspective, the fastest time Sport Auto got for the M3 was 1:14.2 in an E92 M3 ZCP DCT.
Sport Auto clocked 4.7 seconds for 0-62mph and 17.2 seconds for 0-124mph. But it's not only the measurable performance that impressed the reviewers, it's also the fun. Purely a subjective matter, but the 1M got 10 out of 10 points for … CONTINUED
Another 1M review is in from Germany. AMS got their hands on a 1-series M Coupé, and we've translated the essential details from their review. In short, AMS considers the 1M one of the best sports cars available but found some drawbacks in daily use and under less than ideal conditions. They clocked an amazing 4.7 seconds for 0-62mph which is on par with the E9x M3 they've tested previously. Equally impressive, 0-124mph only took 16.6 seconds while returing an average of 18.2 mpg. AMS gave … CONTINUED
Autobild has just published a comparison test between the 1M and the Porsche Cayman R. We're happy to share that the 1M won this comparison (besting the Cayman R by 1 point). The 1M coupe performs only slightly worse than the Cayman R, yet it offers better overall comfort and low-end power. All this for roughly EUR 25k less! More inside…

A bit of background for newcomers
Joe (aka 'Mac' to his RAF comrades) was my Uncle, but we never met. His precious letters have come into my possession some near-70 years after they were written. It is my honour to transcribe them, and the poignancy of hindsight about what happened to Joe makes this all the more difficult to write, but all the more important that I do. One letter will be posted to this Blog each and every Friday until they are done.
Please see below for a link to Joe's full story and the other letters in this series so far.
In this letter, Joe is 6 months in to his RAF experiences and is wearing his newly acquired Sergeant stripes with pride. He is now stationed at Upper Heyford in Oxfordshire.
Letter 47 – 9th July 1944
"Same dump!
Saturday night.
Hello Mom.
How's things? OK? Right now I can hardly keep my eyes open. it's 10.25pm and I've just this minute come in from flying. We were on as usual at 8am this morning and have been at it, with breaks for meals, all day till about an hour ago. It is the same almost every day! I feel so darned tired!! Tomorrow, with luck, we will finish flying early, about 6-7. I HOPE. Then I shall sleep and sleep!! HOW I shall sleep!
Last night I went to supper at 9, came to the billet and flopped down in my clothes, except shoes on teh bed! I slept like a log!! In my clothes! I sure looked an awful mess this morning, but so does everyone else so I don't worry! Our skipper is always dog tired after a day's flying. These 'Wimpeys' are so darned heavy on the controls.
By the way, how's the bike situation?! I'm so darned fed up with walking around this dump. The rest of the crew have bikes but I walk!!! JOE!! We were supposed to be on P.T. tonight too! In fact every night, at 1800-1900 hours. Up to now I've been 'missing' and will continue to do so as well! P.T!! LIKE HELL!
By the way tell Bert I'm sorry about the delay of my writing to him but we really don't get the time and if we do we want to use it for sleep! I shall try my best to keep up with my correspondence all the same, even if it's onlt a few lines. How's Joyce got on with her exams, does she know? She doesn't know much as it is!! Latin and french; Pooh!! She should hear ME sometimes!
By the way (once more!) we had music on the radio for flying today again and the skipper was flying our kite to the music of a waltz, so; (Joe draws wave shapes across the page here) and sideways aswell! I can't imagine what we looked like from the ground. We haven't managed to fly over Birmingham yet but we will try. Today we went on a bombing exercise and we ragged the bomb aimer summat awful! Lord knows where his bombs went!!
Well, so long for now, I'm going to bed.
Lots of Love, Joe. xxxx
P.S. May ring you up one day.
P.P.S. We went out clay pigeon shooting today and one smart 'airman' put some pellets thro' a farmer's window!! He WAS 'vexed'!! I thought he was going to go crackers!!! The farmer I mean!"
Total exhaustion has now set in. No doubt this was to acclimatise the men to the kind of relentless activities they would have to face when their active ops began. Joe still seems in good spirits, nonetheless, and they are clearly not short of opportunities to entertain each other, as you might expect from a bunch of teenagers away from home!
To read more about Joe's letters please follow this link. There you will find the full selection of letters to date, as well as more information about his fascinating yet ultimately tragic story.
He was our family hero. He IS our family hero. If I knew how to complete an effective RAF salute, I would salute you now, Joe. Long may your memory live in our family stories. I hope to post a new letter from Joe's correspondence with his Mother here every Friday until they're done. It will be a turbulent and heart-wrenching journey.

I recently accepted a job as an Admissions Office Tour Guide! I am pretty excited because I am becoming more involved on campus and I get to do what is one of the most important jobs here at BW: help to recruit students. I had such a great experience with my tours to BW and I want to share and continue to give perspective students that same feeling. Maybe I will be seeing some of you around!
The departure for Orlando/Tampa, Florida is only a short few hours away and I'm so excited. We have been having extremely wonderful rehearsals in VOP for the past few weeks and because of that, we are all the more excited. I cannot wait to leave, take a break from the stressors of school, life, and get away with people I love dearly and do what I'm going to do: minister the word of God through song.

|A Sheep No More
Activist Post
It's been over a week since Cheerios had to remove a Pinterest App that actually exposed them for containing Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO), being pro-GMO and for *General Mills' funding over $1 million to "No on Proposition 37." Consumers are still slamming Cheerios' Facebook page in their "Recent Posts by Others" section. Actually, thousands of angry comments are now visible on the "face" of their page as well their other sections for comments.
But that's not all - when Cheerios posted a retro commercial called "Grandma's Visit" it was immediately slammed and removed from their Facebook videos. Consumers followed the vid to YouTube and commented on Cheerios' YouTube page. More than 1200 users left negative comments on the Facebook vid before its removal saying things like "Nostalgic old commercials are no substitute for healthy ingredients. I won't buy Cheerios until they are GMO-free."
We know that they got the message - they haven't posted on their Facebook page in over a week. Cheerios finally responded by patronizing consumers and carving out a special comment section for "robust conversation". So, they aren't backing down from their stance supporting GMO ingredients and their promotion.
|New section for angry comments - Wow, Cheerios really understands me!
|A short capture of Facebook response to "We're Listening" Click to Enlarge
|YouTube Vid & Top Comments
Alisa Gravitz, CEO and president of Green America said:
The sheer volume of comments on Cheerios' Facebook page raising concerns around genetically engineered ingredients is incredibly inspiring.GMO Inisde is credited with first stoking the comment-bomb. They also posted this vid by cerealfacts.org showing just how much genetically modified sugar is added when choosing Honey Nut Cheerios:
But some commenters still ask whether Cheerios themselves contained GMOs - mega YES.
Regular Cheerios contain modified corn starch and sugar - most likely made from GM sugar beets. Other flavors contain corn syrup, corn, corn bran and canola oil - over 90% chance of GMO contamination there.
Guess what else they contain among other harmful substances? Trisodium phosphate - a common and strong cleaning agent. Also a stain remover, degreaser and food additive considered by the FDA as GRAS (generally recognized as safe).
This article by natural nutritionist Evita Ochel goes into major health deficits of Cheerios. She was irked by constantly hearing her clients' wishes to continue eating Cheerios because they believed the commercials and box covers claiming to be heart healthy. She had advised ditching all processed cereals.
She demonstrates why they're not whole grain, they're not good for the heart. She shines light on deceptive marketing - whole grain and heart medical councils will gladly take money to "approve" processed cereals and in turn the FDA looks away, but calls natural walnuts a drug.
Comedian Mike Birbiglia is popular for saying,
I think maybe the key to eating healthy is not eating any food that has a TV commercial.If you ever find yourself burdened with uneaten Cheerios, consider using them for an age-old purpose - potty training.

*General Mills also owns organic sub-companies: Muir Glen Organic, Cascadian Farm Organic, & LARABAR

Watching the Sunrise from Borobudur Temple
7 December 2012
Categories : Sightseeing - Travelings - Culture and Heritage
Approaching the stone steps of Borobudur Temple in the pre-dawn hours, the sky slowly began to lighten, revealing a blanket of grey clouds. Getting up at 4 AM was no longer about seeing a multi-colored sky, but experiencing one of Indonesia's greatest cultural landmarks with as few people as possible. Borobudur Temple is the world's largest Buddhist monument, its construction dating back to the 8th and 9th centuries (300 years before Cambodia's...

Experiencing Bali, Four Years Later
11 December 2012
Categories : Culture and Heritage - Adventure
Dig far enough back through the archives on Go Backpacking, and you'll find Bali was the first place in Asia I visited on my trip around the world. It was my first time in Asia, too, so the culture shock hit me hard and fast. Walking around Kuta my first day, I quickly learned to stop making eye contact with vendors and touts, and focus on going about my business. My hotel the first few nights had a beautiful swimming pool, complete with Swedish girls. I...

Borobudur Temple We drove through the countryside of Central Java, Indonesia past lusciously green rice and tobacco fields and we ate lunch at one of the fanciest hotels I've ever been called "Amanjiwo". Princess Diana and the likes of David Beckham had all stayed there previously and got to enjoy the fabulous view of the famous Borobudur temple from their suites. Sadly we weren't spending the night at that hotel however we were going to...

The Kecak Dance at Uluwatu
12 December 2012
Categories : Culture and Heritage
"Chark-a, chark-a, chark-a, chark-a", and on… the chant goes. Almost hypnotic, trance-like, the thirty or so barechested Indonesian men sway with the rhythm. They're sitting on the ground in a circle – and in the middle the drama is unfolding. Two young princes; a demon king; a damsel in distress; a mischievous monkey. They all play their parts in the ring of unceasing cantillation. The nightly performance is very popular here at...

Bali - A fantastic place for relaxation
12 December 2012
Categories : Sightseeing - Culture and Heritage
Before going to Indonesia I'll admit I was "one of those tourists" who might of previously thought Bali was its own country because you hear/assume so many people reference it that way, but of course I quickly learned that Bali was simply just one of the most popular of the 17,000 islands which can be found in Indonesia. What I knew of Bali was that A LOT of Australians visit there and I also knew that it was a place that I had on my bucket list...

Pronounced: bye-ka-LO-ta-mide
Classification: Nonsteroidal Antiandrogen
Most prostate cancers need supplies of the male hormone testosterone to grow. Testosterone is an androgen (hormone) produced by the testes and adrenal glands. Bicalutamide works by blocking testosterone receptors on the prostate cells, and therefore preventing testosterone from attaching to the receptors on the surface of the prostate cancer cells. Without testosterone, the cancer cells may either grow more slowly, or stop growing altogether.
Bicalutamide is given as a tablet, taken once a day, preferably at the same time each day. Bicalutamide can be taken with or without food. Bicalutamide may be given in combination with other medications, such as LHRH agonists.
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Bicalutamide. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
Most men find that hot flashes decrease after a period of time on the medication. There are a few things you can do to help with hot flashes. Several medications have been studied, including some low doses of antidepressants (such as venlafaxine and Paxil), and certain hormone therapies (medroxyprogesterone acetate and cyproterone acetate). Non-medical recommendations include: keeping well-hydrated with eight glasses of water daily, wearing cotton or lightweight, breathable fabrics, dressing in layers, exercising on a regular basis (generally walking exercise is best), practicing relaxation exercises, and avoiding triggers such as warm rooms, spicy foods, caffeinated beverages, nicotiene and alcohol.
This drug can affect your reproductive system, resulting in sperm production becoming irregular or stopping permanently. In addition, you may experience erectile dysfunction or a decreased desire for sex during treatment. Talk to your urologist about options for treating erectile dysfunction.
Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects, so you should not father a child while on this medication. Effective birth control is necessary during treatment, even if you believe your sperm is affected. You may want to consider sperm banking if you may wish to have a child in the future. Discuss these options with your oncology team. See OncoLink's section on sexuality for helpful tips for dealing with these side effects.
An increase in breast tissue (gynecomastia) or breast tenderness may develop. Your healthcare team can suggest medications to relieve the tenderness. In rare cases, radiation can be given to relieve severe tenderness.
Eating a light meal prior to the dose may be helpful in reducing nausea. Take anti-nausea medications as prescribed. If you continue to have nausea or vomiting, notify your doctor or nurse so they can help you manage this side effect. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms. Read the Nausea & Vomiting Tip Sheet for more suggestions.
Your doctor or nurse can recommend medication and other strategies to relive pain. Also view OncoLink's page on pain management.
Men who take hormone therapy for extended periods of time are at risk for bone thinning (osteoporosis). You may be advised to take calcium and vitamin D supplements to help prevent bone loss. You may have a bone density scan (DEXA scan) to assess your bone health. If your physician determines that you are at high risk of developing osteoporosis, they may recommend additional treatment with a type of medication called a bisphosphonate to help strengthen the bones. Learn more about bone health after cancer therapy.
Some men experience weight gain, for which exercise and dietary changes may be helpful. You may experience memory problems and while this is unlikely to improve while on treatment, you can find ways to help you cope. Some men report mood swings and depression while on hormone therapy. It can be helpful to talk about concerns and feelings with a partner or close friend. If you find that feelings of sadness are interfering with life, talk with your team about finding a counselor experienced in working with cancer patients.
There have been reports of diarrhea, constipation and dry skin. Blood tests evaluating liver function may become elevated, but this was found to not be harmful and they will return to normal when the medication is stopped.

The fair will be open Tuesday through Saturday from 5 p.m. (3 p.m. Saturday) until 11 p.m. at the fairgrounds, located at 3699 U.S. 15-501 Highway, Carthage.
"I am very excited," said Fair Manager Robert Gordon, who oversees the fair and the Moore County Fair Association. "It's going to be a great week and we are suppose to have really nice weather."
The fair will feature craft and food vendors, rides, a roaming clown, agricultural exhibits, wrestling and gospel music. Parking is $2 and admission is $5 or free for children under the age of 3.

"We just hope you'll come out and see us," Gordon said.

Finally set in stone, now can the AS haters get off the "ducking" train.As expected, UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva (33-4 MMA, 16-0 UFC) will meet top contender Chris Weidman (9-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) on Independence Day weekend at UFC 162.
MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps) previously passed along news of the targeted bout, and Newsday.com today confirmed it as official with UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta.
The event takes place July 6 in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook.
Weidman has long campaigned for the fight, and though officials initially appeared they'd go another direction, UFC President White ultimately relented this past month and said he'd likely be next for the champion.
Weidman's title hopes recently got a boost when fellow contender Michael Bisping suffered a loss to Vitor Belfort, which cost the Brit a promised a title shot. But Weidman, a former NCAA Division I All-American wrestler, has put together a worthy body of work, including a perfect 9-0 record and wins over UFC notables such as Mark Munoz and Demian Maia.
He'd face what is clearly his biggest test yet in Silva, who's emerged as arguably the greatest fighter in MMA history with 17 consecutive wins, 16 straight UFC victories and 10 successful title defenses. Most recently, he followed a title win over Chael Sonnen with a non-title victory over Stephan Bonnar in a 205-pound non-title fight in this past October's UFC 153 headliner.
Additional UFC 162 bouts and ticket information are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
I can already hear it now; "But he didnt fight him before he got hurt so he still ducked him"
