Although there has been no announcement from the club following on from Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement, Moyes is understood to be top of their list of candidates to replace the Scot.
Sky Bet also make Moyes the 1/12 favourite to get the top job at Old Trafford with Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer among the other names in the running with the Leeds-based firm.
It is impossible to see Moyes turning the offer down and as his contract with Everton is due to expire in the summer anyway, there is not thought to be any reason for the appointment to be delayed beyond the next 48 hours, with the potential for the process to be concluded as early as tomorrow.
It would see Moyes becoming United's 20th manager, and the seventh Scot, joining an illustrious list, which includes Sir Matt Busby, Tommy Docherty and, of course, Ferguson himself.
As rumours swept around Manchester last night of Ferguson's impending departure, it did seem there were only three plausible candidates, Moyes, Jose Mourinho and Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp.
Given the short timescale United are working to, it was impossible to imagine Klopp resigning before Dortmund's Champions League final with Bayern Munich, whilst Sir Bobby Charlton, who has significant influence at Old Trafford, does not believe Mourinho's capacity for external and internal conflict sits well.
That leaves Moyes, even if his European experience, limited to just 26 games, which have yielded 14 wins, is less than United have managed in the last three seasons alone.
"The qualities we are looking for are the ones that have been inherent at Manchester United for many years," chief executive David Gill told MUTV.
"Our two most successful eras were with managers who got involved with all aspects of the club, from the youth team to the first team, and had that degree of loyalty and understanding of the football club.
"Clearly he has to have the requisite football experience, both in terms of domestic and European experience. It is a small pool but we will move forward."
Moyes' name is openly being discussed in the United dressing room and it now would be a sensational development if the 50-year-old was not installed, even if he could well end the season at Everton as Ferguson is not standing down until after his final game at West Brom on May 19.
Ferguson has never made any secret of his admiration for a fellow Glaswegian, stating as recently as February that a failure to secure a top-four berth was not a slight on Moyes.
"He's had 10 years at Everton - you don't survive 10 years in this game without making progress, that's obvious," said Ferguson.
"I don't think whether he gets in the top four changes mine, or anyone else's opinion of him."
Moyes will get his first taste of the difference between managing Everton and the job he is now set to undertake in July when he flies to Thailand for the start of United's pre-season tour.
It is not uncommon in the Far East for United staff to find fans waiting outside rooms, whilst it is almost obligatory for scores to camp outside hotels throughout any Red Devils stay.
Moyes' first official game in charge will be the Community Shield against either Manchester City or Wigan at Wembley on August 11, which could have become Ferguson's 50th trophy.
That statistic alone is enough to water the eyes of a man whose only silverware was the Second Division title he won at Preston in 2000.
With Ferguson remaining on the board, his shadow will hang over the club for a good while yet, whilst decisions on a backroom team who have shared in so much success over the years, and who know the intricacies of United so well, will be interesting.
Yet Gill is adamant the transition will be seamless.
"We knew this day would come," he said.
"We have been preparing for it. We have to look forward.
"The new manager will inherit a great squad and infrastructure off the pitch, with a great staff.
"The new person will be walking into a difficult situation in terms of the number of trophies, but the positive of also having the support of the Manchester United family.
"It is a dream job."

"Quest for Truth" Book Series Review & Giveaway (WINNERS ANNOUNCED!)
Diane (Comment #898)
Pam H (Comment #451)
Barbara Weresow (Comment #63)
Following on the heels of my post about keeping the holidays in check, I am thrilled for the opportunity to offer a review and giveaway of Books #1-3 of Brock Eastman's "Quest for Truth" series. What better way to save money throughout the holidays than winning FREE books for your kids?
Also, after reading through all of your comments regarding the purchasing of holiday gifts, I have a fresh, catchy rhyme on repeat in my head: "Get them something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read." This particular book series fulfills one part of that diddy, and my 10 year old son Kenny highly recommends it for you and your kiddos' READING enjoyment.
Let's start with the publisher's description of the series.
"The Quest for Truth series follows the four Wikk kids in their desperate race to find the mysterious plant Ursprung and stop the Übel renegades from misusing its long-lost secrets. Ancient cities, treacherous villains, high-tech gadgets, the Phoenix–encounter all these and more on this futuristic, interplanetary adventure."
Eastman's response to whether or not the Quest for Truth series is considered science fiction made me giggle. He says it is "more Indiana Jones than anything, but in space, yes."
Kenny finished "Unleash", the third book in the series, and looks forward to reading "Tangle" and "Hope", the fourth and fifth books not yet published.
Since writing a book review on three separate books was not on his "what I want to do this Thanksgiving holiday" list, I decided to make it easy on him with a simple interview.
TAKEN (Quest for Truth, Book #1)
Visit the Author's shop to read the first 2 chapters of "Taken" for FREE.
Me: What is the basic premise of "Taken"?
Kenny: Basically, the Wikk kids' parents are taken by the Übel, and after finding a clue the kids board the Phoenix to the planet they believe their parents have been taken.
Me: What is the Phoenix?
Kenny: The Phoenix is their parents' research spaceship. Their parents are archaeologists. What's cool about the Phoenix is all the things they discover it can do.
Me: How old are the Wikk kids?
Kenny: The youngest are twins, Austin and Mason, and they are 12. Oliver is the oldest. He just came back from military school when his parents were captured. He is 17. Tiffany is the only girl. She is 15. Tiffany is the only one of the kids who knows the password to her parents' e-Journal.
Me: Is an e-Journal like a blog?
Kenny: No. It is an important device that contains all of their parents' maps and coordinates for planets that contain valuable artifacts.
Me: Are the characters believable?
Kenny: Yea.
Me: Okay, want to expand on that (Note to self: I shouldn't ask close-ended questions.)?
Kenny: The author paints a picture in your mind of who they are, and I think their personalities are realistic.
Me: (Grinning) Paints a picture, eh? Love it. Okay, is "Taken" a book that can be read on its own, or does it lead directly into "Risk"?
Kenny: Oh, it definitely leaves you hanging. At the end of each chapter the book does the same thing because something new is discovered or someone new is found.
Me: Is that why Daddy had to tell you to turn off your light and go to sleep a few nights in a row?
Kenny: Yea, basically. That, and I wasn't tired because I was so interested in the book.
RISK (Quest for Truth, Book #2)
Visit the Author's shop to read the first 2 chapters of "Risk" for FREE.
Me: Same question, different book. What is the basic premise of "Risk"?
Kenny: The Wikk kids figure out that the Übel is on Evad, the new planet where they land. They find this really cool technology that sets up maps inside a hologram so they can handle it easier and see it from all sides. And throughout the book the Wikk kids and the Übel have to hide from huge black panthers.
Me: So, it's basically nonstop adventure, right?
Kenny: Yea, it is. Basically it's a race. They are trying to get to, and save their parents while also trying to find planet Ursprung.
Me: Why the big push to find the planet Ursprung?
Kenny: Because that planet has the secrets to the beginning of mankind.
Me: You mentioned a blue boy before. Who is the blue boy?
Kenny: Obbin. (Flipping to the "Visual Glossary" in the back of the book, Kenny tells me that Obbin is part of the Blauwe Mensen).
Me: Okay. What does Blauwe Mensen mean?
Kenny: Blue People
Me: Anything special about Obbin or the Blue People?
Kenny: Well, he is their prince. He acts as a peacekeeper between the Blauwe Mensen and the Wikk kids. I probably shouldn't tell why he has to be a peacekeeper or we'll have to include a spoiler alert.
Me: Got it. Anything else?
Kenny: Yea, but everything I want to say will give away part of the storyline. Maybe we should talk about "Unleash" now.
UNLEASH (Quest for Truth, Book #3)
Visit the Author's shop to read the first 5 chapters of "Unleash" for FREE.
Me: Why do you think this third book in the series was titled "Unleash"?
Kenny: There is one part we should not share because it's a big part of the story line, but other than that there are giant lizards and a Velociraptor that hunt them down. Aren't you going to ask me the basic premise for "Unleash"?
Me: Sure. What is the basic premise for "Unleash"?
Kenny: (Smerking at me) So, in the beginning, the Wikk kids are captured by these space pirates called Corsairs, but they escape during a battle between the Corsairs and the Übel. That's how they land on Re Lyt (looking up spelling in Visual Glossary).
Me: Anything we should know about Re Lyt?
Kenny: Yea, it's a volcanic moon, plus it has a large science lab called the Hatchery. Another thing is that Re Lyt is where everything takes place in Book 3.
Me: You've given a lot of details. Are all the Quest for Truth books super descriptive?
Kenny: Definitely, but it doesn't bore me. I mean, they are descriptive of their surroundings and the advanced technology, which is good, but it doesn't get crazy with it like some of my history readers.
Me: So, you recommend it over your history readers?
Kenny: Pretty much.
Me: Understood. So, "Unleash" is descriptive, but not too descriptive, and it has a good story line?
Kenny: Yea, it's a good story line–a really good one.
Me: Have you recommended these books to any of your friends?
Kenny: Yea, I actually talked about them with my friends and one of my friends borrowed them.
Me: Do you have a favorite book of the 3 published so far?
Kenny: Definitely "Unleash". I like that it brings in Velociraptors, T-rexs, and Wartocks into the story line.
Me: What are Wartocks?
Kenny: These large lizards that can seem to disappear…like chameleons.
Me: You've turned to the Visual Glossary a lot in our interviews. Did you use it a lot while reading the books?
Kenny: Yea, I used it a lot. When I didn't understand something or couldn't get a picture of it in my head, I went and read the description. There are pictures for a lot of the important items in the book. I like it – it's helpful.
Me: Anything else you want to say about "Unleash" or the other two books in this series?
Kenny: Not really. Is the author going to read this interview?
Me: Probably, yes.
Kenny: Then, just that I can't wait for the next two books. Also? Howl Sage was awesome too.
Wrapping Up
Brock Eastman contacted me to see if I had any interest in Books 1 and 2 in his Quest for Truth series almost a year ago now. From the reviews I knew it was science fiction and fantasy and targeted the preteen to early teen audience (although, as with many teen reads, adults can easily enjoy these books too), so I asked Kenny about them. The book covers were enough to spark Kenny's interest, so Eastman shipped us the first two books with a promise to send the third once it was published. And he did.
Kenny finished up the books, and we recorded some of his thoughts after each one, but then, life dealt our family a couple of difficult blows, and we never pulled together for a post.
So the other day when I walked into Kenny's room I was surprised to see him reading "Unleash" again. He told me he was "refreshing his memory" so he was ready for the release of Book 4, "Tangle".
That's when I contacted Eastman and began working with Kenny to pull this review together. Thankfully, Eastman was happy to offer a giveaway, and also let me know he is in the middle of a 32 Author Scavenger Hunt (Tip: This is "The End" link to easily search ALL the other blogs involved.) with 32 books and an iPad mini available to win. If you want MORE free stuff, you might want to jump on that.

I was a big fan of the Nancy Drew books. Had a complete set and shared them with my cousin's daughter and she shared them with her daughter. My boys and I have really enjoyed the "Ranger's Apprentice" series by John Flanagan.
Emily S. On Tuesday, December 3 at 10:59 am
Tolkien's books were and are a favorite – and I like the movies, too, which was a pleasant surprise. I usually don't like the adaptations of favorite books to the big screen.
daffiney On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:00 am
Thanks for sharing this review! My sons are just the right age for this, and they're always asking me about any new adventure series they can start.
Growing up, I read anything by Louisa May Alcott, Laura Ingalls Wilder, L.M. Montgomery, and Marguerite Henry. (And during one particular crush on a nerdy boy in 4th grade, I read anything by Jim Kjelgaard.) Sadly, I can't get my sons to work up much excitement for any of these, but at least we're starting on Tolkien now!
Lisette On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:00 am
I love historical fiction and still do. I love anything by Elizabeth George Speare and I can still pick up "The Witch of Blackbird Pond", flip open to any page and start reading.
Mary G On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:01 am
I absolutely loved the Nancy Drew series. I love mystery and to this day, that is what I primarily read. I still have some of the old hard back books in the Drew series. I still cherish them.
Emilie On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:01 am
I love Jane Austen… and any similar type of book as a young girl growing up.
Donna Denley On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:02 am
When very young, I loved the Clifford the Big Red Dog books. Then I graduated to almost any animal book – as long as the animals were sure to have a happy ending; no sad endings for me. Old Yeller about did me in! I loved travel and adventure books. To Kenny: thanks for such thorough reviews! Now I know my oldest daughter will enjoy the series as well.
Monica D On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:02 am
When I was a child my godmother bought me Nancy Drew Mystery books for Christmas. I still love reading mysteries to this day. My daughter is a reader – my son not so much.
Polly On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:02 am
I loved the Little House series!
Jenny On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:04 am
I loved it when I was 11 and I love it still: To Kill a Mockingbird. I also loved Catcher in the Rye when I was a bit older. Thank you for the delightful interview!
Andrea On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:04 am
I hated to read until 6th grade when I discovered two book series: The Myth series by Robert Aspirin and The Lioness Rampant series by Tamora Pierce. They captured my imagination and I haven't been able to put down books since then!
Jaci K On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:06 am
I loved the boxcar children books as a kid…would love this set for my son.

I loved Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys from when I was young and I am enjoying Geronimo Stilton and the "Charlie: books.

I just loved books – read anything and everything!
CIndy On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:07 am
When I was a kid my favorite series was The Little House on the Praire. I loved Laura Ingalls Wilder and thought it would be so cool to grow up in the country like them. I loved how she described things like eating candy, etc. Here recently I have enjoyed two series, first of all Karen Kingsbury and Debbie Macomber. Real life drama is what I love now. My husband thinks that I'm crazy, he likes more of the make believe. I have a 12 year old step son who loves to read and I think that he would really enjoy this series.
Sandra Kay On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:08 am
I enjoyed everything Beverly Cleary as a child. I know read as much as possible, mostly biographies. Favorite this year was The Glass Castle. Enjoyed Dee Henderson series of books.
Susan Boice On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:10 am
Anything by Judy blume.. and the lord of the rings.. yea it was the 70's
Nothing right now.. Just read the hunger games.. but looking for something new.

I was a fan of little house on the prairie series. My 3 daughters didn't go for it. Now I love historical fiction… 1000 White Women was amazing. I also love Elin Hildebrand's beach reads.
Danielle V On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:13 am
As a child and still to this day I ready anything I can get my hands on. I love the feel of a book and the different places it can take you!

Hannah On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:15 am
I loved The Mandie Series by Lois Gladys Leppard when I was little. So many memories!
Gail Luther On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:16 am
I have always loved to read. For awhile when I was about 10, I got hooked on a series of biographies. There was one on Eleanor Roosevelt, darn the author of Little Women (brain on the blink) Louisa May Alcott, I can't remember the others. They stressed (or it seemed) when the women were children and that's the part I most enjoyed. I also, as a kid (in the 70's) enjoyed secretly reading Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex But Were Afraid to Ask in the library's stacks. That is, until the librarian, Mrs. Woody caught me and that was the end of that.
Lisa On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:16 am
I loved the Nancy Drew books as a child and also Little House on the Praire, Anne of Green Gables series and Charlottes Web. My son loves to read and devores books so I am sure he will love this series. Thanks for posting!
mimki On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:17 am
I didn't have a favorite genre – I truly loved to read most types of books then, and I still do now. My favorite series were The Chronicles of Narnia, Wrinkle in Time, Nancy Drew, and Little House on the Prairie. I also read a ton of stand-alone books.
Edie On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:18 am
Nancy Drew was my favorite.
Desi On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:19 am
I loved the Little House series. I still love historical novels.
renee On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:19 am
As a child I loved Nancy Drew and then the Sweet Valley High series. As an adult, my favorite authors are Karen Kingsbury, Elin Hilderbrand, Kristin Hannah, and Karen White. My 11 year old would love these books!
Mari C. On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:20 am
I love Margaret Atwood's Maddadam series that provides a fresh take on dystopian literature called Speculative Fiction.
patti W On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:21 am
Didn't like to read as a child….but now I would read all day long if I could. I love big thick books! Thanks!
Kelly On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:21 am
I loved the Madeline L'Engle books, starting with Wrinkle in Time! It's so hard finding books my 10 year old boy will enjoy. I was glad to see this series to check out!
Kris On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:21 am
From the time I could read, I was never without a book in my hands! I loved the Little House series, but that was just the start! Most of the books I read were not part of any series – they were "stand alone". I still like to go back and reread them. "Mrs. MIke", "Tisha", "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn"… these were just a few of the ones I enjoyed then and now…
Loretta On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:21 am
The Nancy Drew series got me hooked on reading forever!
katie On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:22 am
As a kid, it was Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew, and anything written by Judy Bloom. Now I love historical fiction as well as Dystopian novels like the Hunger Games and Divergent. Right now I'm reading The Book Thief. I thing my 10 year old would really like these stories. Thanks for the giveaway!
Brandi F. On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:22 am
I loved all genres as a child but mystery especially. I read everything I could get my hands on… the first 75 Nancy Drew books, the Narnia Series, the Wrinkle in Time series, Trixie Belden, Little House series, Judy Blume, Sweet Valley High, etc. I must say that my favorite was The Secret Garden. Thanks so much for the recommendation. I think my 11 yr old son would love these books! Has your son checked out the "City of Ember" series? My son loved them!
Amy in Mississippi On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:24 am

Little house on the prairie,Beverly Cleary, Judy Blume, Nancy Drew….so many good ones.

My daughter loves to read. My son, though, has yet to. I am always searching for good books that teach valuable lessons but are great stories that capture their imaginations, too. Thank you for sharing about this series!
Romina On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:30 am
The Boxcar Children and The Little House Series, both of which I tried to introduce to my daughter. I can't seem to be able to make her love reading like I did. My son, on the other hand, loves to read, and I think The Quest For Truth series would be right up his alley!

My favorite genre growing up would be animal fiction, and as of now I really like self-help or other fantasy novels. The one book series that I enjoyed growing up would be "Warriors" by Erin Hunter.
Lettie On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:33 am
I liked (and continue to like) all genres except horror. My favorite childhood series were the Little House books and the Betsy-Tacy books.

Tami On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:49 am
My son is always looking for new and interesting books to read – this sounds like it would be great! I loved the Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys books as a child as well as the Little Women series and Little House on the Prairie. I enjoy reading a variety of genres now – being in a book club has helped expand my library.
Thank you for this chance to win!
suzanne On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:49 am
Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys then into The James Herriot series All Creatures Great and Small, and now I read just about anything i can get my hands onto… My young niece and nephew are also avid readers both at many grade levels higher than they are.
Sondra On Tuesday, December 3 at 11:49 am
I did not enjoy reading as a child. It wasn't until I start working full time and took the bus to work that I took up reading. And then I only read Stephen King books. There were several of us reading the same books. Every night when we would get on the bus we would discuss what parts we had read. Now I don't seem to find much time to read.

The Talvivaara Mining Company announced on Wednesday that it has concluded cooperation consultations with personnel and that it will lay off 246 of its 530 employees for an indefinite period.
In the beginning of the consultations with workers, the company estimated the possible employee impact to be terminations of employment, layoffs and changes to part-time contracts.
Talvivaara Mining said the layoffs will support its corporate reorganization and adjust the number of personnel to the current operating scheme under which ore production has been temporarily discontinued. It added that leaching and metals recovery activities will continue in a normal fashion.
Talvivaara Mining's corporate reorganization began officially on Nov. 29. The company is scheduled to release its 2013 financial results on Feb. 27.
Berry pickers' protest wins compensation
Hundreds of berry pickers from Thailand who staged a long protest in Umeå, a town in northeast Sweden, over unpaid wages last summer have won their fight for compensation from the staffing company that hired them.
The 200 berry pickers went without wages in the summer but are now to be paid the equivalent of five to 10 months' salary for a laborer in Thailand by a Thai employment agency.
Berry picker Somsak Samoesap said to Swedish Television News SVT that the wages should be paid on Jan. 20, but that he would not celebrate until he sees the money.

More traffic chaos has ensued this afternoon on the M20.
A lorry veered into a car on the London-bound carriageway between junction 10 and 9 at around 3.15pm.
Witness Andy Clark said: "I had gone down to look at the cars backing up the M20 when I saw two lorries coming down the hard shoulder.
"One then crashed into a car."
Delays on the motorway have been in place since 10.40am this morning following a lorry fire near junction 8.
Although the lorry has now been moved to the hard shoulder and trapped traffic has been released past the scene in lane three, there is still a two-mile queue as far back as Ashford.

Indigenous cultures honored
About 40 people came to the event
The heart-pounding beats of 14 Ballet Folklorico boots stomping to the rhythm of traditional Mexican music was echoed by the thundering drum beats of the Danza Azteca Tlaloc dance troop at the Cultural Awareness Expo Saturday at the Antonio E. Garcia Arts Education Center.
Sponsored by the Alliance for the Advancement of Indigenous/Chicano Culture, the expo featured performances by Danza Azteca and Falcon International Ballet Folklorico, a local dance group that will compete in a national competition in California July 20.
The brightly colored costumes and relentless rhythms were just some of the customs the expo celebrated. The group of about 40 people who attended the expo also sampled traditional ethnic food and observed art on display.
"I think it's about time people start taking pride in their culture and traditions," said Richard Flores, president of the alliance.
Flores speaks to students around the area and has discovered most are eager to learn about a culture he says many have not been taught properly about.
"A lot of people have been brainwashed into accepting stereotypes about their culture," Flores said. "The only way to break the cycle of erroneous information is to reach out to kids so they can have pride in themselves and dignity."
Nine-year-old Folklorico dancer Desiree Cantu couldn't help but tap her feet to the high-energy beats of the spiritual Aztec Danza, well after her dance was over.
"They just keep going," she said. "I think it does take a lot of hard work, but it's about celebrating culture."

Well let me be honest, i'm 28 and have just started playing this game and I really like the system. I just had a glance at it since now and then I want a break from the usual pew-pew games, or battering my head against the screen with frustration in Minecraft.
Are there any other games that have a similar sort of system to this? With the cards etc? You see I don't mind the fact that its a kids game, but as a 28 year old guy (granted I have a fiancee but still) it's not exactly a game aimed at my age group. I did have a look at that Magic game on steam but that looked way too complicated for me.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
(This isn't me saying I don't like Wizard 101, I think its a very fun game and I can see why its great for the young 'uns, just probably should look for something more similar in my age group)

Glad to hear you're enjoying the game, but don't let the target demographic deter you from playing! We're quite proud of the fact we have a large adult population who also enjoy the game, and you can learn more about these players here: https://www.wizard101.com/posts/list/7261.ftl
Tipa of West Karana is quoted saying "Deck building becomes an artform". The game is as deep as you want to play it. A player who casts a certain spell because they like the name of it, has just as much enjoyment as the person who spends hours painstakingly building their decks for maximum efficiency. As you progress in the game, the challenges become such that a strategy is useful, but not always necessary.
We've always wanted Wizard101 to be accessible to all ages, and enjoyable to all types of players. We've taken the 'Pixar' approach to accessibility. A quest title can have several meanings depending on the person reading it, for example, you're tasked with defeating fairies in Unicorn Way and the name of the quest is "Fairies Wear Boots". Now to our younger players, they take that literally, and yes, the fairies do actually wear boots, but it has a whole different meaning to any Black Sabbath fans out there. You'll find that sort of tiered meaning in most of the game, and hope that it brings a smile to the faces of all our players.
I hope you will continue to enjoy the game without concern for the target demographic. Our tiered chat system ensures that the younger players are protected while at the same time offering freer speech options to our 'age of majority' players.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us directly at email@example.com

Wow, that really was a lovely reply. I think I'll definetly be sticking around then. To hell with convention, i'm having a blast! I did have a chuckle at some of the quests already, the random Wizard of Oz references (including Toto wearing a top hat and monacle) made me laugh!

I've played a LOT of MMOs, and Wizard101 is very, very high on the list (possibly beaten by only Eve Online) when it comes to uniqueness. FreeRealms is somewhat similar, but having played both I can say that I honestly enjoy Wizard101 much more.
As far as the combat goes, you would have to find an online version of Magic: The Gathering to find anything similar, I think.
Well since the staff member posting here was so friendly and honest, I've subscribed and even bought 5k crowns, hopefully I'll get a cheap mount or something with it. Really like the look of the Storm Hound pet but I'll wait till after xmas for that one ;)
Look forward to seeing you all in game.

My Aggro brings all the mobs to the yard.
I started playing Wizard 101 with my six year old and quickly found it to have plenty of depth and value for adults as well. I am almost 40 and love the gameplay. Yes parts of it are "kiddie' in nature but 90% of the game can easily be enjoyable by adults. I have bought a couple of mega cards and spent some on crowns as well. I had two subs but took a break this month due to SWTOR coming out but fully intend to come back and start subbing again in a few weeks. A lot of people that haven't played automatically thing W101 is just a kids game or has too simple of mechanics to be challaning for the older crowd. That is just not true. I used to for many, many years be a huge Magic: The Gathering and TCG fan and I can soundly say that the mechanics of the game are there for you to use according to your skill level. So yes while a six year old can understand the basics there is a huge amount of strategy that adult gamers of all ages can enjoy. After many, many MMOs W101 is truly a game for all age groups. Kingsisle keeps the content fresh and also has a game that is very fair as far as the cash shop. It is a game I don't mind subbing and buying items from the shop at the same time, Even as a grown man it is fun as hell to visit my Suttan's Palace and see what my Lamp will give me.

René A. Guzman: Spider-Man figures done right
MarvelousNews.com When figures for "Spider-Man 3″ first hit the pegs, I was a bit underwhelmed. What happened to all that articulation? And why shrink 'em?

René A. Guzman: 'Ultimate Spider-Man' No. 115 looks to make me sick
As Kanye West would say after not getting another award, "Oh hell no!" What is this madness with "Ultimate Spider-Man" No. 115? Spider-Man an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.? Teamed with Kitty Pryde? With the Green Goblin out to destroy Trump Towers? And a zombie variant cover to boot? I've seen some hokey crud when it comes […] [Read More]
René A. Guzman: Return of the Chin — JRJR headed back to 'Amazing Spider-Man' in 2008
(Pic from CBR link.) Peanut butter and jelly. Franks and beans. Sean and irritable bowel syndrome. Some things are just meant to go together. Take John Romita Jr. and Spider-Man. Because you can't stop his chin work but can only hope to contain it in an umpteenth trade, JRJR brings his bold art back to […] [Read More]

Short answer, Frank Cho.

And this was how it looked after Marvel added […] [Read More]
René A. Guzman: My conflicted anticipation for Spider-Man's 'One More Day'
The hype machine is in smoking overdrive for the upcoming "One More Day" story in the various Spider-Man titles. And I'm trying hard to resist it. Sort of.

The End Of An Era. Amazing Spider-Man #545 That's all the e-mail from Marvel says about this. What it shows is this piece of art. What does this mean? The end of Mary Jane? The end of Aunt May? The end of Pete's married life? Click the pic for a bigger view and let the […] [Read More]

René A. Guzman: Spider-Man six-armed mini-bust a real, um, bust
Marvelous News has pics of the 6 Arm Spider-Man mini-bust by Bowen Designs. (That's one of them above.)

LysoSENS: Clearing accumulated waste out of cells
The proteins and other constituents of our cells are all eventually damaged as the result of biochemical accidents that occur during normal metabolism, or simply outlive their usefulness. Cells have a variety of systems for breaking down and recycling such unwanted materials, allowing them to clear garbage out of the way and reuse the raw materials. One such system is the lysosome, a kind of cellular "incinerator" that contains the most powerful enzymes in the cell for breaking mangled molecules down into manageable pieces. However, sometimes these constituents are so badly fused together that not even the lysosome is able to tear them apart. And if something can't be broken down in the lysosome, there's nowhere else for it to go: it just stays there until either the lysosome disastrously ruptures, or the cell itself is destroyed.
