Monaco Pre-Assembled Gingerbread House Kit 3 3
This is a ready to decorate starter kit. Everything about this kit is of good quality. I call it a starter kit because it comes with a minimum amount of candy for decorating. I purchase this house every year to decorate with my grandkids. We always have extra candy on hand for decorating and to make our house look extra special. I can't wait to see how beautiful our house looks this year. November 4, 2013
Great! Buy more candy for decoration.... This is a great gingerbread house- and it is already put together. Much easier for the kids to deal with! Try to get it on sale though. I highly recommend buying additional candies for decoration as what is included is limited. One bag of gum drops would suffice. December 25, 2011
Great Holiday Party Centerpiece! Best value around for pre-made house ready to decorate! You can carefully cut out a front door and I added 'stained glass' melted hard-candy windows which wowed my guests when battery tealights are put inside! Will buy again! October 28, 2009

The long awaited summertime has finally arrived and it is so long overdue. I flew back to the "Big Easy" (New Orleans), the place I call home for the summer. Looking for a summer job in the beginning was relatively hard. I could have continued working at the corporate law firm that employed me for the last two summers, but I wanted a change of environment. It took about a month of applying and interviewing to find a good part time job, but now I am employed as a sales associate at Johnston & Murphy. I have worked there for about three weeks and I think it was right choice for me. Offering my style expertise to those who need it is a wonderful use of one of my many talents.
As I calculate it out we are about halfway through the summer, and I am missing not only my friends but the city of San Francisco. I will always have love for my hometown of New Orleans but this humid summer heat sometimes makes me question why I left San Francisco in the first place. You know Mark Twain said "The coldest winter I ever saw was the summer I spent in San Francisco." I am thinking next summer will probably be the first that I may stay in San Francisco once the school year ends. I am mentally preparing for how different this school year and school in general will be next year. Many of my really good friends are planning on studying abroad and I will for sure miss their company. I am planning on going to London this spring semester which I will update you on later. I also can not wait to see the renovations that are happening basically in the center of campus. If construction plans are kept as planned I should be able to see the new University of San Francisco campus before I graduate. I am awaiting this upcoming school year with anticipation and excitement for what next year holds.

Smog Check and Car Inspection
Choose Your State
Growing concern over clean air has spurred state governments to impose vehicle emission checks. Some states require mandatory emissions testing, while others don't require them at all. To keep you legally compliant, DMV.org focuses this section on the smog and emission rules specific to your state.
If your state does require a smog and emission check, DMV.org will provide the exact steps to take on how to be tested.
Not only will you find whether the test is annual or biannual, but also help finding emissions test locations, how much you can expect to be charged, and what to do if your vehicle fails. Plus, if your state provides exemptions for older cars we'll list them, too.
And because many state Motor Vehicle departments test in tandem with state environmental commissions, you'll also find phone numbers and website links to contact, just in case you need some technical advice.
At DMV.org, you'll find everything you need to clear the air on this sometimes confusing issue.

A Medium/Deep Plum/Mauve shade of the classic OCC LIP TAR. (This is the exact shade of my lips.) Creamy, blendable, forms a perfect film around lip lines, moisturizers with a cushion effect and lasts all day. Looks natural. Exfoliate lips and NSFW sure they're moisturized and smooth before carefully applying a tiny dot of this to lips and gently working with a brush to cover entirely. A beautiful flush of color just like ours but better!

Lydia is a medium-dark pink plum with even, opaque color coverage. I'd say this is the most "wearable" of the six and rather universally flattering. It lasted for seven hours on my lips. MAC Hot Gossip is lighter, pinker. MAC Plumful is pinker, sheerer. MAC Flaunting It is more purple, sheerer. Make Up For Ever is frosty.

Recent Fashion School Graduates Chosen to Compete in Supima Design Competition During New York Fashion WeekPosted Sep. 10, 2013
Two recent Kent State University Fashion School alumni competed in the Supima Design Competition, a fashion design contest that culminated in a New York Fashion Week runway show at Lincoln Center with a $10,000 grand prize.
Senior fashion design majors Will Riddle of Minerva, Ohio and Sylvia Bukowski of Chicago, Illinois competed against students from the Rhode Island School of Design, the Fashion Institute of Technology and the Savannah College of Art and Design. Each school in the competition was asked to select two graduating students as representatives. Accompanying them to New York City is associate professor of fashion Vince Quevedo who has served as Bukowski's faculty mentor, and associate professor of fashion Sherry Schofield who served as Riddle's mentor.
"Each contestant must create a capsule collection from Superior Pima Cotton fabrics supplied by the organization, and each contestant will show his or her collection on the runway in Lincoln Center during the September NYC Fashion Week," Fashion School director J.R. Campbell explained as he announced the selected contestants at the Fashion School's Annual Fashion Show.
While neither Riddle and Bukowski won the competition, this opportunity will still have a "jump-start" on their career.
"This opportunity is so amazing for these recent graduates. They could work their entire life and never get an opportunity to show their own capsule collection on the runway during New York Fashion Week," Schofield said. "So to be showing their work, just months after graduation, is a once in a lifetime type of opportunity. And I know that our students are up for the task and will show well."
Last April, the two senior design major were standouts in the Fashion School's annual Fashion Show. Riddle was the winner of the Eveningwear/Formal Wear Award at this year's Annual Fashion School Fashion Show, and Bukowski, won the Knitwear Collection Award.
The students created their collections with premium Supima denims, knits, corduroys, twills and shirting to create five evening looks. A panel of industry experts, including celebrity stylist and fashion designer Rachel Zoe, along with guest judges fashion designer Rachel Ryou, supermodel Jessica Stam, Cosmopolitan's Fashion market Director, Shiona Turini, Gilt Groupe Founder Alexandra Wilkis Wilson, Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant, fashion industry veteran Fern Mallis, fashion designer Douglas Hannant and VP of Marketing for Supima, Buxton Midyette.
"We were thrilled to have Kent State participating in the Supima Design Competition," tweeted a representative from Supima.
Founded in 1954, Supima is a non-profit organization promoting American Pima cotton, a high-quality variety of cotton grown in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas. The Supima Design Competition began in 2008.

Abstract Faceted Stone Statement Necklace 1 1
Pretty but cheap looking It's a gorgeus necklace, but the quality is very cheap. I love the look of it, but i can see fingerprints on the stones. If you can call them that. They are more like pieces of plastic with mirrored foil behind them. Disappointing. Sad it has to be returned. December 11, 2012

The West Jefferson Tourism Development Authority (TDA) approved a revised budget for fiscal year 2013-14, and heard a presentation from High Country Host on co-op ad campaigns at their April meeting at Town Hall Thursday.
The TDA has budgeted for a $19,300 tourism promotion campaign through a variety of media, said West Jefferson Town Manager Brantley Price.
A $3,600 WBTV.com advertising package was agreed upon, with WBTV breaking the cost into monthly installments over the year, Price said. The price had been discounted 20 percent due to the TDA's nonprofit status.
A $3,200 billboard campaign will be run, he said, beginning with one billboard on U.S. 321 south of Blowing Rock, with another going up between Boone and Blowing Rock when billboard space becomes available. This cost is would also be paid on installments over four months, he said.
Another $2,500 was allocated for rack cards promoting the Gallery Crawl and Backstreet concert, he said.
The budget included $5,000 for advertising through High Country Host (HCH), a cooperative marketing group promoting the High Country region through pooled capital invested by members. A $5,000 balance was left in the budget for miscellaneous promotions.
The TDA voted to join HCH in February. Marketing Director Candice Cook attended the April meeting to discuss promotional strategies available to the town through advertising co-ops with other towns in the region.
Price explained that the budget had been amended for a second time this year. In February, changes were made to reflect $10,051 in unanticipated revenue from Hampton Inn, which was court-ordered to pay back occupancy taxes to the county in January.
Towns and businesses in the region have gotten exposure in publications like Southern Living by combining their advertising dollars to buy full page ads and dividing the ad space among them, Cook said.
In the same way, HCH has helped put together full-page "vacation planner" magazine ads featuring a number of attractions and amenities to sell tourist on the idea of "destination versus driving market," she said.
Through HCH co-ops, the TDA can combine their funds with other advertiser's, buying a share of almost $400,000 in pooled ad dollars, she said.
The budget had been again revised, he said, this time to reflect taxes not paid by Hampton Inn. The West Jefferson Board of Alderman had given direction to collect delinquent occupancy taxes from the motel, but, he said "I have no idea how long it will be."
The TDA's next meeting is scheduled for 9 a.m. May 23.

A shockwave hits home
Published at 00:00, Friday, 07 January 2005
By Pam McClounie, Julian Whittle and Chris Story
THE DEVASTATION wrought by the tsunami disaster was brought close to home this week as one Carlisle woman waits for news of her missing brother, another family recovers from the trauma they suffered, and thousands contribute to fundraising.
Bryan Thanner, from Anthorn near Kirkbride, plans to return to Sri Lanka at Easter after miraculously surviving being swept away by the giant wave as it hit the Beruwela beach resort where he was staying with his family.
His wife Julie and daughters Jemma, 17, Jodie, 13, and Rebecca, 11, are too distraught to join him on his return mission. Doctors have advised the family not to go to work or school for another week and Rebecca is to have counselling.
"My children saw things I would never want them to see," Mr Thanner, 49, said.
"They saw a woman with a baby go under, then come up without the baby and they saw a man on the next balcony get his foot severed by debris.
"This has affected us all badly. It is a life-changing experience.
"I want to thank the people who helped us and see if there is anything we can do to help.
"We've all come out of this alive. If it hadn't been for the Sri Lankans I would definitely have died and we would probably have lost other members of the family."
Mr Thanner is now planning a charity walk on Hadrian's Wall to raise money for the tsunami victims.
Sarah German, who runs The Source cafe in Atlas Works, Denton Holme, is still awaiting news of her brother Paul and his wife Jit, who live in Phuket, Thailand.
She has organised a charity concert and remains optimistic for Paul.
Sarah said: "My brother travelled for years. He was last in the UK three years ago and he married Jit seven years ago. All her family live in a cul-de-sac near Nai Harn beach in the Rawai district of Phuket.
"Paul had been teaching English as a foreign language in Tibet but he got sick and was hospitalised for a time. When his health improved he hitchhiked across Burma to Thailand and was sleeping on Patong Beach in Phuket – that's where he met Jit.
Sarah's numerous attempts to contact her brother and Jit have so far failed. She said: "I have been in touch with an ex-pat and he's been going out trying to help people in the UK find missing relatives.
"He replied to my e-mail and told me not to worry as the phone lines are down and we haven't been able to get through on the landline or the mobile. We normally keep in contact with Paul and Jit by phone and e-mail.
"They could be perfectly well and happy but unable to communicate with us – I just don't know."
Sarah organised the concert after witnessing scenes of devastation on television. "The images of fathers carrying their babies and children who are the same age as my son Jack, have really hit home," she said.
Musicians and singers Will Harris, James Formby, Martin Lee, Ben Gates and Tony Mason will perform in The Source tomorrow night at 8pm.
Tickets cost £5 minimum and all money raised wil go to relief charities. For more information call 07815 190476 or The Source on 01228 595535.
Meanwhile, thousands of Cumbrians gave money and a raft of events are planned to go towards the most expensive aid operation in history.
At supermarkets, donations continue to drop into buckets at the end of checkouts, just over a week after most started collecting.
In Carlisle yesterday, the running total at Morrisons, on Kingstown Road, stood at about £7,000.
At Asda, Kingstown, staff estimated they had more than £5,000 and Tesco totalled £3,000 at its Rosehill store.
Factories have also been playing their part. Workers at Cavaghan and Gray collected £306 while the company has made a private, undisclosed, donation to Oxfam. At McVities, staff are considering organising an event.
The News & Star/UNICEF appeal had by last night raised £8,345. Spectators at last night's snooker tournament sponsored by the newspaper at Carlisle's Sands Centre and featuring seven-times world champion Stephen Hendry contributed through a raffle to win a signed cue.
About 400 tickets are also still available for The Cumberland News concert to help the disaster appeal, at St Cuthbert's Church next Friday, starting at 7.30pm and featuring award-winning pianist Alicja Fiderkiewicz.
Church of England schools in the Carlisle diocese are being asked to be part of a "rainbow of hope".
Each is being urged to provide a piece of voile or chiffon in a colour of the rainbow which will be sewn together in the city's Cathedral on Saturday January 22 before being sent to Madras, India, home of the Carlisle diocese's partner parishes, as a symbol of prayers.

Episode 15: Exploring Collection-Based Research
In our last episode, we discussed the role of collection data for scientific investigation. In this episode, we explore the value of the research on museum specimens and artifacts themselves, focusing on the use of specimen examination and evolutionary hypotheses to better explain the natural world. To help us discuss this topic, we are pleased to be joined by Dr. Peter Makovicky, The Field Museum's own Curator of Dinosaurs and Chair of the Department of Geology. Phylogenies (a hypothesis of how life is related evolutionarily) are crucial for predicting the distribution of incompletely studied organismal characteristics ranging from the presence of venom in fishes, to feathers on dinosaurs, or how the anatomy of eyes change in the deep sea as a result of selective pressures. In other words, knowledge of the evolutionary relationships of life allows for effective predictions about the unstudied characteristics of species. Museum collections are a critical component of this work, from the initial collection of samples used to infer our hypotheses of how life is related (e.g., whole specimens, tissues used to extract DNA for genetic work) to our ability of accessing this material again to test and explore evolutionary hypotheses.
An example of the biological questions we can explore in this manner is tracing the evolution of venomous fishes. By looking at venomous fishes from an evolutionary perspective, we generated a much more accurate picture of fish venom evolution than was previously suggested using a strictly observational approach. To explore venom evolution, we began by taking a major stab at the fish tree of life by analyzing all suborders and known venomous groups of spiny-rayed (Acanthomorpha) fishes for the first time. Using the resulting family tree of fishes as a framework, we mapped the species that were known to be venomous on to this DNA-based tree. This provided an initial estimate of how many times venom evolved and allowed us to predict which fish species beyond the "knowns" should be venomous or could possibly be venomous. To test these predictions, we explored the museum collections and dissected scores of specimens to look at the detailed anatomy of fish venom glands and clarify how many times venom evolved on the fish tree of life. By working our way down the fish tree of life by comparing ever more distantly related fishes from the known venomous fishes, we could pinpoint the number of times venom evolved, the exact groups of fishes that are venomous, and revise the identity of venomous fishes. This type of research is occurring world wide based on the collections at The Field Museum, and similar institutions that house, maintain, and allow access to museum specimens for scientific research. This example is just one of the many stories surrounding research done at The Field Museum with collection-based research.

I'm a Las Vegas native. By profession, I write at Vegas.com. Mostly about the city's hotels, but on other topics – gaming and transportation – too. I really love staying at hotels. And the ones here are among the biggest and best in the world. Some key things I've learned: Resort fees are inescapable (frustrating but true), a friendly attitude at the front desk may score you a great view and over-the-top room amenities – bath butlers, Japanese tea service, menus with "intimate" items – do exist. What else should you know about me? Well, I'm comfortable at a blackjack table. And I like eating late-night pancakes in hotel coffee shops. A lot. Follow Renee on Google+.

Never had any issues with verification or anything of the sort, however the one painful issue that I encounter is when someone who had previously been using an iPhone moves to another platform... my iPhone continues to, for a considerable amount of time (approx. around 6 weeks in one instance) show that user to be using iMessage. As an example, my brother had the iPhone 4S, he moved to Note 2... and now evertime I have to send a message, i have to make sure that I tell it to send as a text message otherwise it sends as an iMessage and obviously he doesn't receive it. After a couple of weeks of doing this, it finally stopped sending iMessages to him the last day or two ago.
I believe it's got something to do with Apple's refresh rate at their server level or such?

Gaming should be about fun, not gender equality.
No, definitely not. PC is still superior for RPGs, RTS and even FPS simply because a mouse and keyboard is much better than a silly controller. Consoles is mostly for action type games like sport games, platform games and others where a gamepad is more useful.
Also games for consoles are ridiclously expensive. Probably because they have monopolized the hardware and charge a royalty for any game developed on it. I would never buy a console for this reason alone.

I really dont get why all this stuff is about the PC is dead doomsaying crap. Ok so yes the PC only sells 60% units compared to what ipads/iphones and the like. So what, those items may sell almost 50% more units than the PC, what they fail to realize is that they have not taken into account parts (only full systems on the pc) also a PC can cost £1k (cheap system) to upwards of £5k (expensive gaming system) i myself have just got a new PC that cost just over £2k for a high end spec system, not ultra top spec but goos enough for whats out today and on the horizon.
Is it because companies carnt be bothered to properly support the PC and just quickly warp over games to it because it doesnt cost sod all to do that, apart from having many issue's it brings (that are somewhat fixed over time with patch's). But they charge full price for it which i do not agree with. With the state of poor games being done and whats becomming a money pit, its us the consumers/gamers that are hurt. This in turn hurts the software companies with trust, why would i pay that much for something that could be a pile of shite (after all its been happening since 2000 and becomming worse), any wonder why piracy has been on the increase. Which also is not a good thing but i can certainly understand why.
I myself have hardly bought a game since 2002, all i have done is jumped around online games and stuck with the one or ones that have been good to play. I myself will be making a return to WoW (again) and yes i know not that game but hey, i dont think there is anythign out there decent enough to stay with long term right now apart from this one. SW-ToR been there almost 5mths, bored after 3 mths, goign F2P hybrid this month, to me doing that says failure, lets rape what we can get from the community and unknowing punters before it goes completly. Same with Lotro never been back since it went F2P and also AoC.
Anyways, doomsaying against the PC has been going on for almost a year now, but these other appliances would have to sell 6x or so as many to cover the PC cost (this is just for the system) does not include monitors/keyboards/mice/speakers etc and does not include parts upgrade that are inside, it only goes off by units sold. If that was the case then i would expect 50% of the workbase people to hit the unemployment line, thus far it has not happened because the PC is not dead. They are probably wanting people to dump their current systems, get an ipad or whatever in the meantime and then 2-3 yrs down the road bring out the new style computers and make a killing.

Yes, PC is dying. It's because of the developers, who have mentioned many many times that they move to console based platforms because PC gamers keep ripping them off! John Carmack and the guys from Crytek have both stated that pirating on the PC is just to high, they are a business and exect to make money from their product.
I can't remember the exact number, but when the first Crysis came out, for every 15 sold, only 1 was legit, maybe the other way around, either way.
The only reason PC games are dying is becuase so many jackasses keep wanting free stuff! If you stop pirating, then everybody wins. But it won't stop, you can cry about the right to share all you want, but it really is just stealing. And if you feel that prices are to high for games, then just don't buy it, that simple. But when you download it because you can't afford it, or feel it should be cheaper, then it's stealing! And that's why PC games are dying.
The guys at ID would prefer to develop for PC, but are moving more to conosoles so they can make their money back. And who cares if they make a billion dollars or more, they earned it! It's still no reason to pirate their game so much.
Now, with that said. I'm glad for platforms like Steam, it seems to be working and it brings us our great games for cheaper, deals, discounts...etc... Origin though, just sucks, but hopefully will get better. If anything, Steam will be what saves PC gaming, because PC gaming is just better.

Na, if anything PC is better than it ever was before, we get super indie titles and lots of good games are coming.
Shooters, Rpgs, strategy games, SpunkgarglWweeWee´s, mmorpg´s, Simulation games, plataformers you name it, its better on PC.
We are getting ports of the best Ps3 games (playing dark souls atm), we got working emulators for games from every console of the generation before this one.
Games on PS3, Xbox, and wii look like ass compared to our high end pc´s.
We got Obsidian, Valve, etc.
Casual games were a trend thats dying out already (zynga is going down).
There is a reason the term "Elite PC gamers" is being used, we are doing so good that the entitled twats amongst us think they are actually better persons than console gamers :3

Let's see...
look at my previous post. Even on aging 360 Halo 4 looks as good if not better then anything I have seen on PC.
My high-end (ish) gaming PC probably cost $800+ dollars and yes I built it myself.
My 360 was $500.

Haven't you heard? PC has been dying for 20 years now. Bloody bastard just refuses to die. It's all about console players' ego stroking, as usual.

The fact that the graphics look like ass on both only tells me that it was designed with consoles in mind.

If they do it for pirating.. they are failing. Costs 60cents to make xbox game. What is that maybe 20cents more than a pc game since you have to buy dual layer discs?

With the addition of mobal gaming with smartphones and ipads, I would say its the console that might go to the way side.
Console's over the years have tried to emulate the PC with HDD's, DVD's, and internet but always seems to be two steps behind the PC platform. If I had stock in console's I would be looking to reinvest into something else because the furture is making the console look like a rotary phone.

And I dont know how it is in US but I have been in UK, France and Sweden and in all of those countries, new console games were about 20% more expensive than a new PC game. Just look at assassins creed 3 in amazon.co.uk.
COD: Black Ops II. Same thing. Console games are more expensive than PC games and it is because the console maker is charging a hefty royalty and that is how they make money.

[mod edit]
1.) As long as everybody has a PC in their homes, somebody is going to be designing games to play on them.
2.) The amount of exclusive titles isn't going up, it's going down. It wasn't all that long ago that practically every title on any platform all the time was exclusive. Now you get 2-3 that way and people lose their shit.
3.) [mod edit] The vast majority of people who play video games aren't interested in sinking 1500 dollars every few years into a gaming rig, and console specs are more than good enough to impress the typical gamer when the next gen comes out.[mod edit]

i was going to make a argument for PC here until i realised that outside of MMO's and FPS/TPS games all i play might as well be on the console (in fact most other games i play on a PC ARE from consoles such as the Need for Speed games and various fighting games all the way down to Assasins Creed)
Still Pc will remain the top dog on MMO's and Shooters until the Halo-babies finally outlives us... Nothing wrong with them... But thet are the generation that will slay the PC as a machine for shooters because they are used to clunky handcontroll aiming.
That is my look on it at least.

Not to mention pad vs. kb + mouse, you can have your personal preference but it does not change the fact that mouse is a lot more accurate and imitates better a situation where you aim a gun since you do it with your hand seamlessly instead of thumb on a little stick. Also pad sucks major on RTS games for obvious reasons.
It is also very limited for RPGs, that's why console RPGs need to pause all the time so you can scroll through an endless swamp of menus or navigate a button at a time on a hotbar, unless they have very simple combat mechanics and ability selections. I personally would never play an mmorpg with a pad, because either it will be clumsy as hell scrolling through the menus and skills, or the game simply is simple and limited as hell.
Consoles are just a hell of a lot more convenient for gamers and developers both, it's cheap and easy to set up, that's why consoles are so succesfull. Any idiot or kid can buy a console and just sit down and start playing as long as they know how to plug in the power cord, on PC you must do all kinds of hard things like installing the games, not to mention tinker with the options. There's a hell of a lot people out there who knows only how to browse the internet on PC, but who also likes to play games.

Although Halo opened my eyes to using a controller for a FPS, it's still light years from beating a keyboard/mouse. They'd need some sort of glove controller in order to beat it in my opinion.
Hardcore PC gaming is always going to exist, but the majority of major devs are really starting to back away from the market and focus their efforts on consoles. That's fact.
Only two genres the PC market still holds a stranglehold on are RTS and MMO.
Console hardware is dated - right now - but next gen is on the horizon and PC is going to have a real, real hard time staying relevant if even half the rumors about the Xbox 720/Next and PS4 are true.
Vast majority of PC gaming done these days is ultra casual - Facebook, browser based, etc.
Even that is being replaced by tablet and smart phone gaming.
This is why major devs are moving to console.
The PC market is shrinking for gaming. It will never die, there will always be a subset of die hards - but next gen console is going to rock the gaming world hard - as I said especially if even half the rumors are true and the line between console and PC blurs.
And for anyone that thinks I'm some sort of anti-PC dullard -
I've been PC gaming for 15+ years and I work in IT lol and yes, a lot more than a helpdesk monkey.
And yes, I've got a $1000+ PC setup for high-end gaming I built late last year.
I've probably been lurking for way, way too long.

Vanguard: saga of fucking heroes. It's too many restrictions, which also restricts players from being attracted to the game, which then leaves SoE with a game that a minority wants to play and without profit they can't update the game with new content. With no new content the players will leave the game, when players leave the game, Vanguard will die and never come back again unless they spend their time to revamp the game with new graphics, graphic models, new quest system, faster/better combat etc.

I guess that's harsh, huh? And you have less inventory space. Aaand...thats about it.

Lotro is by far the worst. After doing the starting area, you cant do ANYTHING at all without paying. Everquest 2 is pretty bad as well. Especially end game as you can only equip treasured armor and weapons.

The Western MMO F2P are all crap, seriously.
They have nothing in common with TRUE F2P Asian games, where all the content is available to you as long as you have time.
The cash shop in Asian games sell Boost Potions and Equipment, which is the best way to go IMO.
If you have time you can get your Armor by playing, otherwise if you have little time to play you can buy it on the shop.
That's how it should be.
So in Asian MMO all content is available for FREE, with the shop as a "shortcut" tool.
In the Western MMOs instead, they block the actual content which you have to pay for if you want to unlock it.
Not good...........
And do you notice a difference in production quality? If you really don't notice a difference between the western free to play conversions and "true" F2P asian games then I would be shocked.

Why is it that fantasy trolls are vulnerable to fire, but internet trolls thrive on flame wars?
Why is Star Trek Online on this list? They have an excellent free to play plan, one of the best ones on the market. The cash shop, however, not so much (why do I get the feeling that it is only on this list BECAUSE of the cash shop), but a cash shop and free to play plan are different things.

I don't want to waste my time with a player community that's too lazy to earn their rewards or levels, neither do I want to be lorded over by dilitantes who buy up monumental equipment and sucki the fun out of PvP for those who've actually taken time to play the game. P2W financing strategies cater to the lazy and ego-challenged, and in almost every case end up costing players much more than had they paid to unlock game content.

And saying they only block you out of 1/100th of equipment is a joke my lvl 30 bard can not use most items I find cause I need to sub and I can only use quest items if I follow the path they tell me to cause they have not fixed the items from more then half the quests in the game. I even started a new toon and got them a half elf monk to lvl 25 and am not happy with there F2P. I think its great we get to play in all the stuff the game has but cutting out classes races and what not from those that bought the game is kinda lame I could really care less about gear but they also limit mounts to where I can't use any better mount in the game then a basic one all others are sub only same with ships oh and your can craft but still can not use everything you craft same with diplomicy is cut off cause of gear restrictions that then cuts most players out of contnet as well cause you cant do everything in the game with out gear.
And those who say you just pay a small fee to unlock gear at max lvl yeah thats $10 to $15 dollars to unlock a whole set of gear and then a mount for $20 that flys and a ship if you want one is another $20 so thats $55 dollars per toon where in games like DDO and Lotro once you buy the content its open for your whole account I own all of DDO content and I only paid up to Redfens release all others was from TP earned on one toon pplaying to lvl 20 that includes the new expansion and in Lotro I own all content up to ROI and will most likely get the next one with the 18,000tp earned from playing I only bought upto Moria and I got it for 10 dollars all other content was with TP. STO I have to lvl 50 toons one FeD one Klingon both in maxed out ships only ever bought the game never subbed and I have the CE of it. I also own all of EQ2's expasions and am a FTP player and not once subbed sense FTP release. DCUO again own all content and FTP player with 6 toons 3 in end game gear. But I dont like how VG and EQ2 lock races and classes on stuff that comes with the purchase of most games.

Then the cash shop happened, and it tanked.
Allods Online has an excellent free to play plan as well, but a crappy cash shop (or at least previously crappy, as the original cash shop problem turned me off Allods for good, so I don't know how the cash shop is nowadays).
Also, I have one word that completely disproves your "free to play games are always of worse quality than buy to pay or subscription based MMOs" theory: Alganon.

I also understand people not liking the SOE system, but at least you can do the quests and use some of the loot. Hell you can play EQ1 for a very long time and not pay a cent until the last ten levels.

The matter is another.
If you call a game Free to Play, it should be just that. All content Asian MMO is Free to Play and the shop is OPTIONAL.
In Western MMOs you have limited access to all content and you NEED to pay in order to access it, using a shop is NOT AN OPTION if you want to enjoy all the content.
And by the way I am in favour of Subscription based MMO, in fact I hate the F2P model, both the Asian and the Western.
I think a game is a game, you should play it as it is, you should not buy stuff on a shop to enhance your gaming experience.
But at least Asian F2P games are honest, they are really F2P, but if you wanna cheat you can use the shop (You don't have to though).
Western ones force you to buy content if you want to enjoy the game in full, so it is not FREE to play because you have no option but to buy blocks of content.
They should be called TRY BEFORE YOU BUY (TBB), because they are extended trials, the game is not entirely accessible.

What is "real"? How do you define "real"?
Worst: Wizard 101. Classic example of Pay2Win for F2P. I don't mind locking areas for F2P players but don't send them to those areas on quests and not allow them to do said quests unless they pay.
Best: LotRO. At least when I was playing up until about 2 months ago. At least with that one you can go into locked areas to do the quests your are sent on (epic quests), and you can just go into the area to kill things if that's what you want. Plus you have the option of grinding TP to unlock those areas. I'd say that's a pretty good deal for F2P.

LotRO's system is great if you're a former player. And if you're a newcomer... well, then it's still free, if you don't mind the grind, and you know the ropes. There are even f2p kins, and I know a few players who unlocked everything they needed for free. (luckily I'm a former vip, so I don't have to grind to enjoy the game)
The worst one, I think is Age of Conan. I love the game, but the fp2 conversion was a failure... It didn't bring in new players (it's limitations are worse than the unlimited trial was prior f2p), and it didn't make a large extra income to FC, because the store is pretty lame too (very few services, a lot of fluff, and everything is overpriced).
Actually, before f2p, with the unlimited trial I could get 4 buddies ingame (3 of them subscribed). After the f2p conversion I tried to show it a few people, everyone's left before level10...
(I even sent a mail to FC, that they increase the starting bag at least with a few more spaces, because if a newcomer saw that during the tutorial, at level 5 he/she fills the inventory, it's obvious that his/her game will be mostly a constant inventory-management -> they leave :I )

The new true F2P asian games have gotten better graphics but that's about it.
If your beef is the word "free to play" being used for games that have restrictions on content or features than I can see that. I think SoE should take out the period and say simply "Free to play your way" because it makes a lot more sense. In the end you get what you pay for. Want a game that provides everything up front without things you "need", don't expect very much.
I would argue that putting powerful items up to strait buy instead of getting them in the field is restricting play depending on how easy it is to get those items otherwise. Especially in a game that has PvP, a good vehicle for needing those items, you really wouldn't feel like it was "free to play". Yet both cases are just one is lower quality and one is higher. I understand that the "feeling" when playing a game could be soured by seeing locked out bags or locked out quests but I think we're getting a little entitled towards these western conversions.
