Enikő Mihalik (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈɛnikøː ˈmihɒlik]; born 11 May 1987) is a Hungarian model who rose to prominence after placing 4th in the Elite Model Look 2002 and is known for her work with Dutch photography team Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.
Mihalik was born in Békéscsaba, Hungary, the capital of the Hungarian Békés County. When she was young, her classmates often teased her about her thin physique, some claiming it was caused by illness.[8] She was discovered by a Valve scout in a shopping mall when she was 15 years old.[9] In 2002, she entered into the Hungarian Elite Model Look and won.[10]
With her win, she moved on to the international level of the competition, held in Tunis, Tunisia. She placed 4th, losing to Ana Mihajlovic of Yugoslavia. Her career started on the runway. She debuted at the Chanel haute couture show JUL 2006.[10] She walked for only a few designers each season thereafter,[11] but in the S/S 09 shows, she got her big break. She walked for over 50 designers internationally, including Shiatzy Chen, Givenchy, Blumarine, Moschino, Diane von Furstenberg, and Versace.[11] Mihalik was one of the fresh faces to land in one of the fourteen covers of V magazine fall 2008 issue; the other fresh faces were Anna Selezneva, and Abbey Lee Kershaw. Each cover boasts a head shot of a famous model, either from the new crop of leading models (Agyness Deyn, Lara Stone, Natasha Poly, Anja Rubik, Daria Werbowy etc.) or the supermodel era (Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova), it was lensed by duo Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.[12]
Her campaign work includes Cesare Paciotti, Gucci, Kenzo, MaxMara, Samsonite by Viktor & Rolf, and Barneys New York.[13] She has also worked with Retro and Paola Frani.[13]
Her face is also seen regularly in magazines, occasionally on covers. This has included the cover of top fashion magazines i-D, V, Self Service, and most recently Vogue Japan and Vogue Italia Beauty. Her face is also seen in the pages of Vogue and Numéro.[13]
Her most recent[when?] cover is for the June 2013 issue of Elle Brazil.[14]
Mihalik is currently[when?] ranked No. 28 on the Models.com Top 50-Women List.
She walked in the 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in New York City and 2014 in London. Mihalik's looks have been compared to Daria Werbowy's because of her eyes.[8]
She was chosen to be in the 2010 Pirelli Calendar photographed by Terry Richardson in Bahia, Brazil.[15]
Mihalik was the Playboy Playmate of the Month for December 2016.[16]
Personal life[edit]
Mihalik is friends with models Iekeliene Stange and Barbara Palvin.[10] She dated Danish footballer Mathias Jørgensen[17] and businessman Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld.[18]

Above me is a link to a small picture album I've made for HSI. Today is the last day on HSI 😦 But, today I was given some reflective questions.
- What are the top 5 lessons you will remember from this class? I remember the MTV lesson and how they portray teenagers, I remeber the YouTube, creating the audio files, doing the interviews, and the trip to the mountians
- What are the top 5 lessons you will remember from your sciences/math class? I remeber the trip to the supercomputer, the first day of meeting everyone, and when we began to create things in Kitely.
- How do you think you've grown as a person from coming to HSI? Have you become more outgoing and friendly? Have you conquered any fears? Have you learned to be more independent? I feel like I'll listen to people more, before this sometimes I would just stop listening to people sometimes but that hasn't happened that much at HSI. I feel like I am mor independent.
- How do you think HSI prepared you for college life and your future career path? I showed what college life is like. I put me in a new situation that is like college, I can find my way around the campus, and easily make friends.
- If you could re-live HSI, what would you do differently? I wouldn't do anything differnetly.
- What will you tell your friends and family back home about HSI? You know that question is just waiting for you back home… I'll tell them how fun it was and rfor my friends who didn't apply, what they missed out on. I'll answer any questions that they have.

If your organization is in the process of selecting an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, it's imperative to customize and implement it based on your company's specific needs. It's advantageous to work with experienced professionals throughout this process so that you avoid an ERP failure that could potentially be catastrophic to your ability to function as a company. Fortunately, EstesGroup is here to help. EstesGroup is an ERP service provider for both Prophet 21 and Epicor ERP (products developed by Epicor). Our ERP implementation team consists of veterans within the industry who time and time again prove that a successful ERP implementation is not as impossible as it may seem. We are here to alleviate those internal stresses and contribute to your bottom-line in a monumental way.
The first step in our ERP consulting services involves an in-depth Epicor Process Review to better understand your business and its needs. The Epicor Process Review is very similar to a traditional Business Process Review, yet it's specifically geared towards assessing the functionality of your business and how your processes can be streamlined through an Epicor product like Epicor ERP. At EstesGroup, we do not take this step lightly; we are as thorough as possible to ensure that the ERP services and solution we recommend is the best fit for your business. Epicor's products possess capabilities that are unparalleled in the realm of ERP software, and through a customized demo from our specialists, you will be able to discover for yourself if an Epicor product is the right solution for your business model.
Another consulting service we provide is in-depth training of faculty who will interface with the ERP system so that everyone is up to speed well before the rollout, enabling the adoption of the new system in the cleanest manner possible. In our experience, we've found that most resistance to change primarily stems from not fully understanding the system, and we are certainly here to help that transition happen as seamlessly as possible for your business.
Every implementation of Epicor ERP is unique because each business has its own unique needs. Fortunately, your Epicor ERP system can be customized to provide a wonderful user experience that will set your team up to excel in their functional roles. Epicor ERP applications can be configured in a number of ways depending on the tools your employees currently use and feel the most comfortable with. Our customization services include:
- SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) – Create custom database reports to provide the information you need without having to sift and compile reams of data,
- Custom Management Dashboards – Analyze KPI's anytime that update in real-time so that you are constantly aware of important metrics, and the ability to dig into that data for deeper insights
- Service Connect – Create custom processes to pull information, make changes, and trigger updates based on the unique needs of your company.
In order to run Epicor ERP for your business, you'll need a dedicated server. If you intend to host the system on-premise, we'd be happy to help you with the process of setting that up. If you're looking for an Epicor ERP cloud hosting solution (in the event that you need to comply with certain regulations or prefer having a decentralized backup system in-place), EstesGroup can help with that as well. If neither of those sounds like the right solution for your business, EstesGroup can host your system on our secure remote servers instead. If you do choose to have EstesGroup host your system, you will still maintain full ownership of the software and licensing; we essentially rent out that server space to you for the duration of the mutually agreed upon contract.
We provide our ERP services for:
- Those looking to implement their first ever ERP for their enterprise
- Those who are looking to upgrade from previous versions/products of Epicor
- Companies that intend to migrate from their current ERP over to Epicor ERP (ask our team about the benefits of doing so)
- Re-implementation (for those who experienced an unsuccessful rollout)
- Organizations that are experiencing implementation stagnation or various problems with the current rollout.
Our Epicor ERP Modules
EstesGroup Partners with the Best Third Party Applications to Make Your Business Run Better.
Whether you deploy Epicor ERP On-Premise, SaaS, or Hosted Cloud, these 3rd part product companies will greatly improve targeted areas of your business. EstesGroup is well versed in these applications and how best these will benefit your company. Not all companies have added complexities that require more than what comes with Epicor ERP Modules; but for those who need added functionality, this is a great place to start.
As previously mentioned, EstesGroup is a certified reseller of Epicor ERP and Prophet 21 and we are experts in how these technologies work. Our consultants have a deep understanding of the entire Epicor suite of products, their features and how an ERP system can be implemented to improve modern businesses. Many businesses don't realize this, but a certified reseller is often your best option compared to buying directly from the developers because resellers, like EstesGroup, specialize in offering high-quality consultation, implementation, and integration services.
Contact EstesGroup today to learn more about what we can do for you!

The Swope Park Rangers (1-7-5, 8 points) go on the road for the first time in the month of June to face off against North Carolina FC (6-2-5, 23 points) at Sahlen's Stadium on Saturday. The game will be streamed live on ESPN+ and the USL Championship MatchCenter will have in game updates throughout the contest. Fans can also follow @SwopeRangers on Twitter for live updates.
Paulo Nagamura enters his second year as Rangers head coach. SPR enters the match with just one point in six road games. They find themselves in 18th place in the Eastern Conference of the USL Championship, but are only six points shy of the playoff line. If the Rangers can find a way to turn these competitive draws into wins, they'll find themselves right in the playoff mix as the club nears the midpoint of the season.
After a scoreless draw with Charlotte Independence in their last game, Felipe Hernandez still leads the Rangers in goals with five. Wilson Harris and Jerome Ngom Mbekeli are second with two apeice. Eight other players have scored for SPR. Brazilian left back Alexsander leads the team with five assists, which is also good for fifth in the USL Championship. Killian Colombie, Hernandez and Mbekeli are all tied for second in assists with two apiece.
Former United States Men's National Team head coach Dave Sarachan has kicked off his stint at North Carolina FC with some success. Sarachan has a storied history, winning an MLS Supporter's Shield and Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup with the Fire in 2003. He has brought those winning ways to North Carolina so far. They find themselves in the upper third of the Eastern Conference and have suffered only two losses in the USL Championship. Both of their defeats have come on the road.
In North Carolina's last league match, they delivered the first-place Tampa Bay Rowdies their first loss of the season with a 3-1 win. On Wednesday, they faced off with MLS side New York City FC in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. They were knocked out of the competition, however, as they suffered a 4-0 defeat.
Leading all North Carolina scorers is forward Marios Lomis. He has found the back of the net six times in 11 appearances. Close behind with four is midfielder Steven Miller, who has scored his four goals in 13 appearances. Miller and fellow forward Benjamin Speas lead North Carolina with three assists.
As the halfway point of the USL Championship season approaches, the Rangers have placed an emphasis on youth and professional development. Thirteen players who have minutes for the Rangers have also been rostered by Sporting Kansas City. Most recently, Hernandez and Camden Riley were called up for Sporting's Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup match with Minnesota United FC on Wednesday night.
Mark Segbers (one goal, one assist) continues to be a great asset on the back line for the Rangers. He is the only Ranger to appear in every match and has given the Rangers over 1,000 minutes this season, starting all games but the first. Alexsander (one goal, five assists) has also given the Rangers excellent minutes. He has also been on the field for over 1,000 minutes. The speedy Brazilian has superb speed and uses it to provide the Rangers with width going forward. The two wing backs have played well together and will look to bring this experience into the game with North Carolina.

The Truth Behind Pregnancy Hair & Skin At Paul Edmonds London
From Beyoncé to Kate Middleton, pregnancy is a time when your health is of most importance. Mr Edmond internationally renowned hair stylist and the man behind Paul Edmonds London, luxury hair and beauty emporium shares his healthy hair top tips for new mums to help save those pregnancy glowing locks and skin.
Mr Paul Edmonds tackles pregnancy hair
During pregnancy the hormones rushing around a Mother's body increase the thickness and lustre of the hair, sometimes their hair looks better than ever! However, once the baby is born and breast feeding stops the normal level of testosterone returns to the body and the lustrous hair can begin to thin and shed, often adding further stress and insecurities to a new Mum.
Supplements such as Viviscal, which contains fish oils and proteins, can only be used post pregnancy and after breastfeeding, they maintain hair density and good scalp condition. Iron deficiency in pregnancy is also common and can lead to hair loss so a diet rich in rich in dark, leafy greens, nuts and seeds, meat, and beans is also essential.
To combat any potential thinning of the hair I always like to advise my clients, that are expecting Mums, to take the hair shorter and blunter to reduce the strain on the remaining hair. I like to create a maximum look for minimum care, blunt edged bobs softened with internal layers and those with longer layers are kept blunt. Once the baby is born these styles are often far more manageable, as we all know finding the time to even shower and style the hair is almost impossible!
Be careful colouring your hair in the pregnancy and post pregnancy phase again hormone changes can affect the porosity of hair and strength which can do adverse things when colour peroxide are applied, try and opt for an ammonia free hair colour alternative. A client must always advise their colourist when they are pregnant so a bespoke regime of colour, styling and products can be prescribed for the pregnancy.
If you are trying to achieve a rich shade like Kate Middleton I would advise to switch to a semi-permanent colour rather than a permanent. Once breast feeding has finished clients are then advised to switch to back permanent. But again, time is always a factor with a newborn so perhaps experiment with a style like balayage which is easy to maintain but also keeps as much colour away from the scalp as possible.
As the hormones have such an impact on the scalp condition cleansing shampoos are brilliant during pregnancy, they are very light and leave the hair in a beautiful shiny condition. I like to recommend Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil shampoo, a Paraben and Silicone free formula with Onsen inspired ferment, known for its purifying virtues. This shampoo gently cleanses all hair types while respecting the balance of the scalp. It's a lightweight cleanser that provides radiance, the oil gently cleanses the hair and removes dirt and impurities.
Are you pregnant and looking for a super easy, manageable and low maintenance hair style? Book an appointment with one of our expert hair stylists today…book now
If you are a lover of colour then book a consultation with one of our colour specialists! Whoever you choose, they will prescribe and bespoke your look for you and your lifestyle.
Paul Edmonds Skin Experts on pregnancy skin
During the pregnancy period, as with hair, hormones can significantly effect the skins reaction and result to facials and skin care products. It's perfectly normal for the skin to either breakout within the first trimester or become severally dehydrated, the good things is all this is short term and usually (but not always) disappears within the second and third trimester.
If you are thinking about going out in the sun, always use sun protection. Heliocare which comes in many options from high SPF 50 moisturisers (great for nourishing and hydrating your skin) to the Heliocare 360 Airgel SPF 50+ which gives added protection for extremely sensitive skin types. The reason why SPF is so important is because some women can experience hyper pigmentation to skin during pregnancy if exposed to sun and in some extreme cases, melasma (patches of pigmented skin most commonly found on the cheek, upper lip and forehead area). Sometimes the latter condition may fade even after pregnancy however, in some cases exposure to the sun may cause the melasma to reoccur in which case treatment can be difficult to remove.
You can still continue to use your skin care products however, remember due to hormones your skin may require further nourishment and additional anti oxidants such as CE Ferulic which will ensure optimum hydration, repair and promote collagen. Ensure to maintain your skin routine as opposed to looking for a results driven programme (peels, micro needling, micro current etc) it's best to leave that until after pregnancy.
For facials (and skin care routines) avoid anything that has retinols (vitamin A – some research has suggested that the absorption of this vitamin may have an adverse impact on the fetus) In addition avoid the following, deep massaging techniques, strong exfoliants (e.g high % peels), micro needling and treatments using electrical currents.
Skincare recommendations
We recommend light cleansing and hydrating facials such as the Calming Facial (includes vitamin C) by SkinCeuticals for an organic approach try the Eminence Calming Facial (whilst these facials may contain essential oils, we ensure that they are safe to use during pregnancy). Éminence facials such as the Moisture Nourish facial contains camomile and neroli which are great for sensitive skin types.
Recommended Products
The following products are extremely nourishing and hydrating to the skin, prefect to use pre, during and post pregnancy.
Cleansing and Toning

ALWAYS the idea, or the symbolism. I do not believe that any items inherently have power, or I am quite less inclined to believe that they do. I have a rock that feels very powerful, but it could be my mind.
The dagger, the feathers, the stones, the altar, its just an extension of the ritual, the focusing of my mind that allows any power to enter it. The items themselves mean nothing. They are fodder.

Dear Levi,
We are celebrating your ten month mark in sunny Barbados and your Nana and Grandad could not be more pleased to be here with you.
This has been quite the month kiddo. You went from taking steps to becomming a pretty steady little walker. You even like to try running from time to time but that usually ends up in a face plant. You are just so busy, and have so much to do all the time. You certainly keep us all on our toes.
You are starting to understand so much more of the world around you, following simple commands such as "go get your car" or "pick up your cup" both of which you have done with some encouragement today. However, asking you to "come hear" still seems like a command you don't yet understand, or it's one you chose to ignore multiple times a day - and I have my suspicions.
You still love to play with cars or anything with wheels, pushing them around Brumming away, you even use books or shoes for the same purpose if you can't come across one of your cars soon enough and you are in teh mood to play. Just this week you started to stack your cups too, manipulating the smaller ones inside the larger ones. Daddy was working on that with you and was very proud when you figured it out.
You are still pointer finger happy and love to show us all the tings that are catching your eye. You have become proficient at waving hello and goodbye which is simply too cute for words!
You continue to charm the legs off of anyone who will look your way, grinning with a new scrunched up face smile. Sometimes you act shy and bury your face i my shoulder but only for a second, then its all smiles again.
This month saw you taking your third trip on a plane, your second international adventure - you world traveler you - shame you won't remember any of it! You are certainly busier on the plane but you traveled well and slept a lot even though you were not able to sleep face down like you would prefer until our final flight then there was a spare seat in between us and you crashed out, you made do with snuggling on me and falling asleep while nursing which I confess I loved because I know your nursing days will soon be over.
You love people food so much and continue to expand your repertoire of likes. You have discovered blueberries which I cut in half or quarters and you are a big fan, ad this trip you have found watermelon which has been a huge hit! We learned to have you be nudie except for a diaper when you are feeding yourself so when the juice runs down your arms and tummy we can just rinse you off!
You have loved the pool here on vacation as much as in real life you enjoy your bath. You are a water baby and we love that. Even after your tumble into the pool - Daddy caught you but it was a shock!- you still don't seem to mind the water or getting your face wet. You love to throw things in fromt he side, and you really enjoy splashing.
You are starting to be very opinionated about pretty much everything. It's become quite the battle each diaper change to keep you still and getting you dressed should be an Olympic event. You are so eager to explore the world, you want to know how things work and are still keen to stick your finger in any tiny holes that you come across!
Your sense of humor continues to have us in stitches as you find things funny and want to share the joy with us.
I love you busy boy, Happy Ten Months!

Xenosaga 3 Mini Rants 1
Hey, let's do something different today. Instead of just naming off 4 or 5 of the flaws to be found in Xenosaga 3 before I make a proper rant out of the last one, this time around why don't I have some fun and give a proper little paragraph to a bunch of them? It'll be a blast, I'm sure. So without further ado, here's another compilation of the many storytelling mistakes, big and small, of Xenosaga.
Scott and The Professor: The new role given to The Professor and Scott in Xenosaga 3 is rather strange, even jarring. In the previous games, these 2 have consistently been comic relief characters whose only significance was in relation to tongue-in-cheek sidequests that were almost entirely discordant to the actual plot. Yet now, in Xenosaga 3, these previously optional, out of synch background characters are not only fully validated parts of the plot--they're actually some of the most important NPCs of all! They hang out in the main characters' ship and take on most plot-relevant science tasks, such as explaining some of the plot's events and repairing and upgrading KOS-MOS. It's like...okay, in Fallout Tactics, you could get into a random encounter where you'd witness Phil the Nuka-Cola dude on his bicycle, riding across the wasteland to deliver Nuka-Cola refills to the various vending machines scattered across the country. The encounter and character are very, very obviously there solely for a quirky laugh, and the circumstances of that laugh are almost certainly not meant to be taken as a serious, official part of the series canon. It wouldn't fit in correctly with the Fallout series for a variety of lore/atmosphere/logistic reasons. Well, putting Scott and The Professor onto the Elsa and giving them a legitimate role in Xenosaga 3's plot is basically like if you were to make a Fallout game where Phil the Nuka-Cola dude was an actual, story-significant party member. It's weird, it's wrong for the characters, and it gives too much officiality to their previous roles, roles that didn't mesh especially well with the actual, legit Xenosaga lore.
MOMO's Abilities: You know what's kind of dumb? Making all of MOMO's regular attacks and special abilities too rinky-dink or variable to translate effectively into your FMV cutscenes. I mean, you watch the video footage of the Xenosaga series, and you see Jr. firing his pistols, Ziggy throwing his cyborg weight around, KOS-MOS doing all her crazy super-fighting, Jin slicing things up on occasion with his sword, and even Shion has a couple moments when she actually does stuff. chaos has powers that could easily and effectively be used in the various battles we see the team engaged in during cutscenes, even if for some reason he never does use them. But MOMO? Throughout the series she's used a lame little staff and a bow* for attacks, and performed special attacks that even Sailor Chibi-Moon would turn up her nose at for being too cutesy. And hey, okay, I guess that's okay for a little girl character in RPG battles, which are generally kind of weird anyway. But Xenosaga's a series where you literally watch hours and hours and hours of cutscenes. Cutscenes are the main vehicle of the game's storytelling. And while no one questions her being able to shoot little star arrows at giant mechanized monsters of destruction and cause damage inside the game's battle system, where everything is reduced to how many white numbers you can make appear over your enemies' heads, that shit is not gonna cut it in a cutscene where things are supposed to appear relatively believable. Hell, Jr. packs a pair of pistols and even those seem ridiculously inadequate whenever we see him firing them in the game's cinemas, so what the hell is MOMO supposed to do with the ability to make a Lite Brite picture of her head to hit someone with? And as a result, every time anyone's gotta fight in an FMV sequence during the Xenosaga series, MOMO's just stuck sitting it out. I mean, sure, there are times in the FMVs where she can serve a legitimate support role, such as the awesome car chase early in Xenosaga 2, when she takes the wheel of the car so that Jr. and chaos can concentrate on stopping their pursuit, but generally speaking, if you were just watching the FMV sequences of the series and had no contact with the battle system, you'd have no idea what MOMO is with the group for. Is MOMO a capable member of the team or is she just some NPC the group's dragging around, Namco? Your games don't seem to have a sure answer.
For Aslan's sake, Allen is seen fighting enemies in cutscenes more often than MOMO is. Fucking Allen.
Number of Villains: There are too many villains competing for top billing in this series. Margulis and his UTIC organization, Albedo, Yuriev, and Wilhelm are all given enough screentime, seeming plot importance, and grandiose plans and speeches that it seems like there are half a dozen different galaxy-shaking villain schemes all crammed together, each trying to claw its way to the top of the plot. It'd be one thing if they were each confined to their own game, like the villain of the between-games episode seemed to be, but no--you've got Margulis and his organization being sinister and super important from the first game on, Albedo jumping around in the villain spotlight for the first 2 games and then misdirecting us for much of the third (since we don't know until the moment it happens that he's not actually being evil, the overall effect is that of another villain running about through the third game), Yuriev shows up in Xenosaga 2 but relates very strongly to the U-DO and URTV subplot that's given such large focus in all the games including the first, and Wilhelm's been a point of villain interest since the first game's end and is ultimately the true villain of the series. It also doesn't help that they all end in quick succession, either. If 1 or 2 of them had been taken out earlier in Xenosaga 3, there'd be less confusing competition for the player's attention, but no, each one is only concluded at the end of the game. Yuriev is taken down at the end of the second to last dungeon, and Albedo with him. Then you finish up with Margulis and his forces about a third of the way through the last dungeon. And then, of course, you handle the final villain Wilhelm soon after. They're all vying for attention right up to the very end. A couple competing villainies at the same time is manageable; 4 that span the entire series and all only conclude at its very end like dominoes is distracting and confuses the player as to what the true thematic conflict of the series is meant to be.
KOS-MOS's Third Body: Out of place, completely unnecessary sexual fanservice continues to cheapen everything it touches. Or maybe there's some combat advantage to having your battle 'bot brazenly bare her barely-bound boob valley when she's fighting space ghost-angels that I just don't get?
6 Games? Really?: I've mentioned before that the Xenosaga series was meant to be 6 episodes long (with each game being an episode), and that a HUGE amount of the problems with the plot, storytelling, and characters can be traced back to the writers simply not having the time they'd anticipated and needed for all their ideas to be properly shown and worked through. Another case of the corporate part of a company ruining the integrity of the product. Bad Namco! No biscuit!
But here's the other side of the matter. Who the bloody fuck writes a story with the serious intent on taking 6 game installments to tell it!? It's usually pretty ambitious to write a story with the intention of telling it in even 2 parts! I mean, think about it: how many RPGs are there out there that were designed from Day 1 to be incomplete without the next game to follow it? The Golden Sun series, Mark Leung: Revenge of the Bitch, and Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2 are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head that were clearly intended from the get-go to have incomplete stories to be concluded in a later game, and those are all just 2-parters! Obviously any writers are going to hope that their game does well enough to warrant sequels, and will have ideas for what can be done, but they're usually reasonable enough to take these things 1 or 2 games at a time, because you never know how players will receive your product, and what the corporate atmosphere will be with your company in the future. Mass Effect is a series that spanned 3.5 games, but Bioware wasn't brazen enough to just assume from the moment they began work on ME1 that they'd get the opportunity to make a trilogy out of it, and they planned accordingly. ME1 concludes with the promise of more to come, but it clearly would be able to stand alone as its own game if need be. 6 games to tell one overall story! 6 games, each with hours and hours of FMV! Do you have any idea of the resources it takes to make 6 games happen? How many game series do you know that even keep the same SETTING for 6 installments, let alone the same continuing story? Ultima, The Legend of Zelda (which almost doesn't count given how tenuous the connections are between most of its games), Kingdom Hearts, and sort of Nippon Ichi's titles are the only ones that come to mind, and you can bet none of them started out by saying, "This thing is ONLY going to work if we've got 6 games to devote to this series." Because that would be fucking insanity. So yeah, forcing a 6-part story to be crammed into 3 games is obviously a bad idea and will ruin the damn thing, but what the hell were they doing with an inflexible planned length of 6 parts to start with?
Shion x KOS-MOS: I know I mentioned this in passing during my rant on how stupid Allen x Shion is, but I'd like to say again how utterly bizarre it is to witness the interactions of KOS-MOS and Shion throughout the series and scenes like the one where Nephilim tells Shion that she's "the only one who can open KOS-MOS's heart," or where Juli voices her belief that it's Shion's wish for KOS-MOS to have a heart, and then not only not see them get together at any point, but also not even have the games acknowledge the possibility of a romantic love between them. I mean, maybe it really is just me here, but I would swear the entire damn series consistently has them say and do things, and have things said about them, that in any other RPG or anime would be considered, would be MEANT, to be evidence of romantic attachment. It's like watching interactions between Bastila and a female Revan in Knights of the Old Republic 1--you're seeing 2 characters who are written with the express intention of falling in love, engage in dialogue written with the express intention of causing them to fall in love, having been put into a situation that was created with the express intention of allowing them the circumstances necessary to fall in love, only for no apparent reason, they don't fall in love. It's weird and it's inconsistent with the characters and their relationship to one another.
Sellers: Where the hell did Sellers go? I mean, seriously, what happened to him? The guy's introduced as a sinster-ish lesser villain scientist guy working for Yuriev, we see him several times as Xenosaga 3 progresses, enough to be quite convinced that he's reasonably important, he's got back history and overall plot relevance, and eventually the characters come face to face with him, at which point he gives some exposition and they have to leave to stop Yuriev. And then...Sellers is gone. Just completely gone, forgotten by the plot entirely. We don't see him again, we don't hear of him again, there's no mention of him doing anything further in the codex, nothing. The writers just drop him and forget he ever existed. Every other villain, no matter how minor, is wrapped up by the game's conclusion--they even include those 2 obscure Richard and Hermann pilot guys, whose roles in the series are so negligible that I just spent about 10 minutes of searching through the Xenosaga Wiki trying to find out what their names were. But Sellers just stops existing in the plot altogether after that first and final meeting, like Rowd in Suikoden 2 or that armored nitwit in Grandia 3.
Vague, Ambiguous Dialogue: This is a pet peeve of mine for RPGs in general, but Xenosaga 3's got more than its fair share of awkwardly vague, unspecific dialogue exchanged between sinister groups of villains. I think this is best illustrated with an example, so go here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80uG40b3fl4 and watch from 4:38 to 6:01. Now, did you follow ANY of that? I've played the damn game from start to finish and even I don't follow half of it! How does Blue Testament know things are going smoothly just because Red Testament happens to be staring down at the coffin thing? What about the coffin and Red Testament staring at it implies that he's "pulling out the big guns?" Why won't he refer to specific objects and people by their designation/name even once, instead ONLY using elusive terms like "this thing" and "she" and so on? What is the nature of the errors you must correct, Red Testament? What does "So you knew all along, huh?" mean--was Red Testament not supposed to know about these errors we know nothing about all along, or is it something related to this situation and/or the errors that they didn't think he knew about, and if so, what the hell is it, exactly, that he knew all along? Why does having this totally undefined knowledge make him a scary guy? The look on whose face when she knows everything about what, and what does it have to do with Red Testament? Is the "she" they're referring to meant to be the vaguely described "princess" they then indicate is in the coffin, or is this someone else now? What does she have to do with anything? What the hell is Blue Testament doing sniffing at whatever's in the coffin and why does no one find this act a little unsettling? And why are the White and Black Testaments present if they're not even going to say a single goddamn line of dialogue?
Only some of these questions are actually answerable if you've played the game, incidentally. I could not, for example, hazard a guess about why the Red Testament's knowing about the situation would prompt the Blue Testament to proclaim that he's one scary guy.
Anyway, do you see what I mean here? Thanks to the excessively vague and ambiguous dialogue here, the player gleans almost no information whatsoever from this scene. About the only pieces of info related to the game's plot that an audience can safely gather from this is that there is a "princess" of some sort inside the coffin, it/she has something to do with the Testaments' plot, and, most memorably, the Testaments are sinister dudes planning things secretly (which was already established previously in the Xenosaga series, so there's no need to establish that anyway). This scene will be almost entirely forgotten by the time the player reaches the point of the game where its relevance can be shown, largely because there's so little about it that we can grasp onto and understand, and when the plot's ready to do so, the situation this scene is relevant to will be described much more comprehensibly, meaning that this scene is meaningless and redundant anyway. So it's as useless as it is poorly communicated on the level of actually conveying plot meaning, which is its primary purpose, and as far as just watchability, it stinks. I mean, look at that dialogue. Who the fuck talks like that, even IF they're trying to reference secret things without actually saying what they are? It's like whichever writer put this scene together was using this little gem of translation as a cipher! This is why I hate it when RPGs do this shit, include these scenes of evil guys sinisterly talking in ambiguous terms about plot points that the player isn't supposed to know yet, because to pull it off, you have to forcefully twist the dialogue into something so completely awkward and bizarre that even when you DO know the plot points they're vaguely referring to, it still reads like a fucking space alien wrote it!
Scrapping KOS-MOS: So...a subcommittee voted that rather than try to fix the ridiculously advanced combat robot that has proven monumentally effective at combating Gnosis in the past couple years or so after she was damaged protecting a bunch of people from being vaporized by a stray laser during a military demo gone wrong (more on that scene in another rant), they're gonna scrap her instead? I mean, yeah, I understand that the idea is that the new T-elos model is more advanced and effective and thus will replace the KOS-MOS project, but who the fuck were the morons on that subcommittee? This has to be a committee so short-sighted, brainless, tasteless, and lacking in basic human comprehension that I wouldn't be half surprised to find out it was also the committee that handed out the Oscars in 2012. When you have a galaxy-wide threat of space monster angel things, you don't just scrap one well-proven-to-be-effective weapon against them as soon as the next one comes along! The entirety of your galactic civilization is a lot of distance for 1 humanoid robot to protect, don't you think? Why the rippin' flippin' hell wouldn't they keep KOS-MOS so they could have 2 effective combat robots dealing with the Gnosis threat instead? I mean, for fuck's sake, T-elos is still only in development when the subcommittee votes to melt KOS-MOS down; they're getting rid of her before her replacement is even ready to assume duty! It's not even like it would be difficult to repair her after her loss during the military demo, because when the heroes find her on the scrap heap later on (and by the way, why the hell is she in with all the garbage? You can't tell me that this kind of super technological hardware wouldn't be dismantled and disposed of through different means from the rest of the trash), she's (strangely enough) virtually undamaged and can be booted up with no trouble.
I realize that the real reason for the existence of KOS-MOS and T-elos is, of course, the secret overly complex and weird hoopla about the resurrection of Mary Magdalene and rebooting the universe and so on, not the surface story about them being anti-Gnosis weapons, but it's pretty safe to assume that since the only ones privy to all of that are the main bad guy Wilhelm, his Testament henchmen, and chaos, the idiots on the subcommittee knew none of that stuff and thought the anti-Gnosis weapon stuff was all on the level. It's like if you were walking along and happened to see a $20 bill on the ground, and after picking it up, you threw out the $10 bill already in your wallet simply because the 20 is better. KEEP THEM BOTH, MORON.
And I think that's enough for today. I keep thinking that I'm going to stop being able to think of/remember problems with this game and series, and I keep being proven wrong. I'm already halfway done with the next Xenosaga 3 rant as I finish this sentence, so expect to see more soon.
* Yeah, I know I've said repeatedly that bows are badass weapons and I'll stick by that, but that's in the context of a more traditional RPG setting. In a futuristic setting with lasers and androids and guns and all kinds of other crazy shit, a bow isn't gonna do shit.

Actually the main problem with MOMO is the fact that Ether arn't used in FMV at all which is a big problem when you weild an Ether-Based Composite Bow and rely on ethers to attack. Also the fact ethers are poorly defined.ReplyDelete
Welp on to Xenoblade I guess (Which I heard it much better than this)Replies
I actually meant to mention the fact that so much of her combat ability was Ether-based...completely slipped my mind during the actual writing, though.Delete
Are the Xenosaga games worth it.. or should I just watch the game on youtube? Also judging by your Xenogears rant, your not a fan of the series lol. If you havent played ff13-2, read this.ReplyDelete
Thats a beautiful synopsis of the crap that is considered a story which is often happening over at the writers headquarters in Sqenix ville now a days.Replies
The funny thing is that I can't help but actually still like Xenosaga as a whole, at least a little bit. Yeah, it's got more story gaffes than Final Fantasy 8, Grandia 3, and Shadow Hearts 3 all put together, but it does have its good points, too, buried though they may be beneath all the inexplicable nonsense. But should you watch or play? Eh, I'd say that's up to you. They're not games that you have to spend a lot of wasted time level-grinding to beat, so it's not a terrible thing to just play them through. On the other hand, little to nothing happens in the battles that you might miss out on, and you can still cut out a lot of time from the experience if you can skip the dungeons and battle encounters, so you might want to find a good Let's Play and go that route.Delete
And Jesus H. Christ Playing Poker with Poseidon, that is some godawful trash right there that SquareEnix is digging out of their collective ass and plunking into their games. That is the sort of gibberish that would make the Mass Effect 3 ending writers at Bioware feel better about their own shitty work.

Honestly, I'm pretty sure reading about your painful experiences with Xenosaga is more entertaining than playing the rest of the series would. If it is any consolation to you, you can consider yourself as having done all this so others won't have to. Our sons will call you Hero.ReplyDelete
Maybe it was just a gravely flawed idea from the beginning, and needed a mercy kill far before it got to Episode 3. I sure don't know. Glad to hear the vague ambitious dialogue just gets better and better. I always had a soft spot for MOMO, but I have to concede that they didn't even attempt to make her abilities fit into the setting. Shame. Then again, do I really want Sakura-chan jumping around with Clow Cards in my sci-fi RPG?
Who the fucks melts down a T-800 just because a T-1000 is being developed? Do you junk Robocop because the next model is in beta? This galaxy doesn't sound like it's worth saving.
Lastly, I can confirm the GameFAQs link is legit. XII's mythos really does get more and more retarded the deeper you go down. It's really that bad. It gets worse when you realize that the "shared continuity" of the Fabula Nova Crystallis pretentiousness isn't a collective universe, but them explicitly taking the same mythology, tweaking a few things, and making multiple games out of it without having to waste time being creative.Replies
That mercy kill should've been at the end of Xenosaga 1. As unbelievably messy as Xenosaga 3 is, the second game was still the worst by a significant margin. At least with Xenosaga 3 you feel like something has actually been accomplished. Stupidly, but accomplished all the same.Delete
Also, yeah, I wouldn't really want to have MOMO's current ability set messing around with the setting, but that's why they should have done something with her that actually DOES fit.
And damn, I almost feel like I made my oath to boycott SquareEnix too early with shit like that going on nowadays.

Oh God Final Fantasy 13ReplyDelete
It's a bit of guilty pleasure of mine since the first game had some pretty cool themes and characters... it just had bad writting and pacing that tied thoses good points down alot.Replies
Like Xenosaga 3, appropriately.Delete
I agree, FF13 had some good things going for it, but the whole ....."story".. I guess... and limited "open world exploration" really made the game lean towards the unlikeable side as opposed to being liked. Whats even better is the fact they had to ruin it even MORE by making FF13-2.. why???Delete
Because SquareEnix cares only for money and no longer has any interest whatsoever in producing works of integrity and/or art. I don't make the decision to boycott a company lightly.Delete
Yet another Xeno3 rant I'm liking these more and more.ReplyDelete
"But here's the other side of the matter. Who the bloody fuck writes a story with the serious intent on taking 6 game installments to tell it!? It's usually pretty ambitious to write a story with the intention of telling it in even 2 parts"
You know? there was one game I liked that also tried to do something similar it didn't work out sadly ah well still both that game and it's sequel were good.

Getting out of the studio and doing shows is a great part of my business. I love to meet my customers and get a reaction to the work I do, mostly in isolation. I met the lovely girl above, at the American Martyrs Preschool Boutique in Manhattan Beach a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately I forgot her name, but she and her mom were delightful.

I'm pooped. All the dates I mentioned in my last post are kicking my @#$. I had five in the last month that I didn't even list. At the same time, I'm quite excited, because I've been selling well, and the funds have really been helping out our family financial situation. Problem is, I can't keep up this pace. It wouldn't be so bad, if I didn't still have this crappy bronchitis, lung rot situation hanging on. I went to the doctor once, but it's been a couple months. Should've gone back. I keep thinking I'm feeling better, but NOOOO. O.K. There. I've said it. You now know more than you really cared to, and why I've been a slacker blogger. On a brighter note, I've been making more dresses.

Sorry I've been a bit absent lately. I've been crazy busy! I spent the weekend as a vendor at Unique L.A. It was a great event for selling, people watching, shopping and general inspiration. I must say, Sonja, the masterful organizer of the event did an incredible job putting it all together.

now im getting the same with telecom MMS?
i have removed all the contacts and re listed. This had made no difference to the format..The biggest issues are that i cannot simply click reply and send the message to that number as it does not complete.
i have go to my contacts and look for the number or contact and reply that way.
this is most annoying
does anyone know if this is a Vodafone issue or Apple..and is there a solution?

The 'wave' election results in Virginia in 2017 show there's a good side to taking a risk
When we talk about odds, no one would have thought that the odds of the Democrats almost retaking the state legislature in Virginia were too high. It was an election that saw 15 seats gained on the Democratic side and 15 lost on the Republican. If not for the tie-breaking results made during a draw, the Democrats would have received an even 50-50 split in the state legislature. This came on top of their victory in the governorship which was deemed a close race but ended up with a Democrat winning with ease.
The Democrats proved that there are certain risks that are totally worth it. They started with people who had no experience running for public office before. They were angry with how the government was being run so they decided to run. In the end, they won. Just like playing a casino game where the odds and bonuses offered could increase the chances of winning but won't guarantee anything. Nevertheless, you take the risk and hope for the best.
A wave election
In the election, the state saw a lot of firsts. Danica Roem became the first openly transgender elected to a state legislature. She unseated someone who was staunchly against LGBT rights. The house's majority whip also lost the election to a 30-year old marine veteran who was also endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America. Two Latinas became the first ones to serve the house – Elizabeth Guzman and Hala Ayala, while Kathy Tran became the first Asian-American to win. Dawn Adam also became the first openly lesbian lawmaker to serve in the house.
If you listen to their stories, you will realize that they were not really planning to run before. However, they saw just how badly the government was being run. They also saw just how the local legislature acted like the state was so Trump-like when in fact, it is a moderate state.
Eventually, their hard work paid off. They surprisingly beat the odds. For some, the margins were unbelievable. Even Ralph Northam, the governor-elect, was elected on a 54-46 margin, way higher than some polls predicted.
Anything can happen when it comes to politics. The victory of Trump for the presidency stunned the world in the same way that the world was stunned by the reversal in last year's Virginia election. In casino games, the same thing can happen. It always looks like anybody's game. It is just a matter of taking the risk and making the most out of the opportunity presented to you.

La Ferme du Bonheur
Time Out says
Friendly warning! We're working hard to be accurate. But these are unusual times, so please check that venues remain open.
Two motorways, a detention centre and an oil depot blight the horizon; as the owner puts it to us, referencing the name of the venue, 'A Farm of Joy is the least we can ask for in this shithole.' The farm is something of an oasis in the midst of the asphalt wasteland of Nanterre, yet paradoxically it is made of the very industrial material that surrounds it: a hodgepodge of telephone poles, scaffolding and other detritus, the building is a homage to creativity and material ingenuity. Little surprise, then, that it plays host to all manner of cultural events. Drawing students from the nearby university, La Ferme du Bonheur regularly puts on everything from film screenings to experimental theatre, while also promoting community work and ethical farming. But it's for its offbeat club nights that it is best known: the regular L'Electro d'Bal events run from 4pm to midnight, attracting such renowned collectives as Katapult and Mamie, and doing a sterling job of blotting out the drab environs. An improbable treat.

Hi, for those of you interested in playing For River - Johnny's Version, I've transcribed and uploaded sheet music for you here.It's not an overly difficult piece, so even intermediate-beginner players should be able to handle it, I think.However, I do recommend listening to it again from the soundtrack (or on Youtube) to get a feel for it. This is a very emotional piece, with many and subtle changes in both tempo and volume; the more obvious ones are marked in the sheets. Anyway, enjoy!

Coping With Cervical Cancer and Reproductive Concerns
January is Cervical Health Awareness Month. Learn how women with cervical cancer can manage potential fertility concerns.
BY Stacy Chilton, LMSW
PUBLISHED January 15, 2018
A diagnosis of cervical cancer can bring about a wide range of emotions and questions. Because many of the treatments for cervical cancer can have a permanent impact on the reproductive system, people with this diagnosis often express concern about fertility and the ability to carry children after treatment has ended. For women who may want to have children in the future, it is important to learn about potential reproductive side effects of treatment, communicate your concerns with your medical team and seek emotional and practical support.
How Can Treatment for Cervical Cancer Impact Fertility?
Learning about potential treatment options can help you better advocate for yourself and make choices about any fertility preservation options that may be available to you. If you have questions about your specific treatment plan, speak to your medical team. They will be able to best provide answers based on your specific case.
Treatment for cervical cancer usually involves surgery, and may also include chemotherapy and/or radiation depending on the stage of the cancer and the size of the tumor. Surgery to treat cervical cancer may include a hysterectomy (the removal of the uterus and potentially other reproductive organs), after which a woman would not be able to become pregnant. For some women with earlier stage cervical cancer, a procedure called a radical trachelectomy may be an option: this surgery removes the cervix but leaves the uterus, potentially enabling a woman to have a pregnancy and deliver the baby via caesarean section.
If a fertility-sparing surgery is an option, it is important to note that chemotherapy and radiation may also impact the chances of becoming pregnant. Some chemotherapy drugs can damage the eggs within a woman's ovaries, which can lead to reduced fertility or infertility. Additionally, chemotherapy can cause changes to a woman's menstrual cycle, which may remain impacted even after chemotherapy has concluded. Radiation to the pelvis can often cause damage to the ovaries and uterus.
For these reasons, some women opt to explore egg or embryo freezing prior to beginning treatment, in the hopes of later utilizing their own eggs or embryos to carry a child themselves or via another woman who carries the pregnancy for them (called a gestational surrogate).
Managing the Practical and Emotional Effects of Fertility Concerns
Thinking about your future family-building wishes in the midst of a cancer diagnosis and treatment can understandably feel overwhelming. Without being able to know the exact impact that the treatment will have on your body, or how successful the fertility preservation procedures you may undergo will be, it may feel difficult to make decisions. The following suggestions may be helpful as you think about reproductive concerns following a cervical cancer diagnosis:
If you think you may want to have children in the future, you should discuss this desire with your medical team as soon as possible and make them aware it is important to you. If your medical team does not bring up the impact of treatment on fertility, do not hesitate to initiate the discussion yourself. Although not every woman will be a candidate for fertility-sparing treatment options, having all the information about what may or may not be applicable to you can help ensure you do not miss the opportunity to explore an option if it is available to you. Your doctor will need to advise you on which fertility preservation options may be safe to explore, keeping in mind that some options will likely require a delay of the cancer treatment so that they can be performed.
Gather information about what type of coverage or benefits your medical insurance may provide for fertility preservation. Fertility preservation procedures can be costly, and unfortunately, they are not typically fully covered by insurance. Getting a sense of what costs you may be responsible for can further assist you in making decisions. Explore resources that may be able to help with the out-of-pocket costs, such as
Verna's Purse (ReproTech)
Fertile Action
The SamFund
Enlist emotional and practical support from trusted family members, friends, or counseling professionals such as an oncology social worker or therapist.
offers free short-term supportive counseling with oncology social workers over the telephone nationally and face-to-face in our New York City area.
The American Psychosocial Oncology Society (APOS)
can help connect you to counseling professionals in your area who have special expertise in working with individuals and families impacted by cancer.
Many women find it helpful to connect with other women who have gone through similar treatments and experiences. Connecting with a cervical cancer survivor can provide an opportunity to discuss shared challenges and talk through decisions with someone who has "been there." If you'd like to talk one-on-one with a survivor via telephone, you can arrange for a "peer match" through organizations such as
Cancer Hope Network
Imerman Angels
. Cancer
offers a free, private online
gynecological cancer support group
moderated by an oncology social worker, which can provide a space for discussion and connections with other women undergoing treatment.
Making fertility-preservation decisions at a time when you are likely also coping with many challenging emotions and under a time-constraint can feel daunting. Know that there are not right or wrong answers about how to proceed, how you may elect to preserve your fertility, or how you may build your family in the future.
Stacy Chilton, LMSW, is the Women's Cancers Program Coordinator at CancerCare. She oversees CancerCare's Women's Cancers Program, as well as provides counseling to people coping with cancer and people who have experienced the loss of a loved one.
