Washington (state)
Earth : North America : United States of America : Pacific Northwest : Washington (state)
Often referred to by its full title, Washington State, to distinguish it from Washington, D.C., Washington [6] offers rugged coastline, deserts, forests, mountains, volcanoes, and hundreds of coastal islands to explore. The Cascade Mountains bisect the state, with the damp forested coastal areas to the west, and pineforests, deserts and irrigated farmland of the Columbia River Plateau to the east.
There are many cities in Washington; these are some of the more popular.
Other destinations
Most people in Washington speak English with a Pacific Northwest accent. This accent is considered very similar to general American. Washingtonians generally have little to no problem understanding different accents of the English language.
Washington is the thirteenth most populated state, but by comparison has the fourth highest Asian population. You may be able to find a Japanese or Chinese speaker, especially in the Seattle area. There is also a large Hispanic population. In some small towns east of the Cascades more than 50% of households speak Spanish at home.
Get in
By Plane
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, (IATA: SEA), called "SeaTac" by locals, connects Seattle to all regions of the world, with especially frequent transpacific routes. Competition is heavy on busy San Francisco Bay Area and Southern California routes. Non-stops to the following countries: Canada, China, United Arab Emirates, France, Germany, Iceland, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, Taiwan, and the UK. Transfers are required from the Caribbean and Central and South America.
Spokane International Airport, (IATA: GEG). Most flights go to Seattle, Portland (Oregon), Boise, Oakland (across from San Francisco), Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, Denver, Phoenix and Minneapolis. Seasonal flights to Chicago.
Portland International Airport, (IATA: PDX) is just one mile across the state line in Oregon. For Southwest Washington (i.e. anything south of Chehalis along I-5 exit 77) this is the nearest major airport. One daily non-stop from Tokyo and Amsterdam.
Vancouver International Airport (IATA: YVR) is in Canada 27 miles (44 km) from the border. You will have to go through U.S. customs at Blaine, Washington. For U.S. residents, going through customs twice probably isn't worth it unless you also want to visit Vancouver (see Bellingham below). For Canadians wanting to go to the San Juan Islands, it's the best choice. Also has lots of international flights.
Tri-Cities Airport (IATA: PSC) is a commercial airport located 2 miles northwest of the city of Pasco and is the third largest commercial air terminal in the State of Washington. Flights go to Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Mesa (near Phoenix), Salt Lake City, Denver, and Minneapolis (seasonal).
Bellingham International Airport (IATA: BLI) is a regional airport about 90 miles north of Seattle and 60 miles south of Vancouver, Canada. Allegiant and Alaska Airlines have jet service to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Oakland, Mesa (near Phoenix), San Diego, Honolulu and Palm Springs (seasonal). There are many shorter flights (mostly to Seattle) with turboprop aircraft.
Commuter Airports
Horizon Air (which links to Alaska Air) has flights to five small cites in or near Washington State with infrequent daily service to Seattle-Tacoma. There's also a couple of commuter flights on SeaPort Airlines to Portland (PDX).
Lewiston, Idaho (next to Clarkston, Washington) (IATA: LWS) Seattle-Tacoma
Pullman (IATA: PUW) Seattle-Tacoma
Walla Walla (IATA: ALW) Seattle-Tacoma, or Portland via Eastern Oregon Regional Airport (IATA:PDT) in nearby Pendleton
Wenatchee (IATA: EAT) Seattle-Tacoma, Portland (1 stop)
Yakima (IATA: YKM) Seattle-Tacoma, Portland
By train
Amtrak [10] offers several ways to enter and travel throughout Washington by train:
For more information, see Amtrak's website, Wikitravel's article Rail travel in the United States, or the Wikipedia pages on each of this train services.
By car
From British Columbia
Interstate 5 and the Peace Arch [14] crossing is the main land port-of-entry to Washington from Canada. However this is only one of five land crossing points between the Lower Mainland region of BC and the Northwest Cascades region of Washington. See the Get in — by car section of Northwest Cascades region article for details.
From Oregon
Interstate 5 (and Interstate 205) provide access from the greater Portland area. Interstate 82 / US 395 provides access from eastern Oregon to the tri-cities area of Eastern Washington. For a more scenic entry, try taking US Route 101 along the Washington and Oregon coast, but be aware for the numerous speed traps in the small cities.
From Idaho
Interstate 90 is the main route in via Coeur D'Alene, but US 2 provides access to the northern parts of Idaho and Washington.
By bus
Greyhound [15] has a number of bus stations throughout the state in metropolitan areas as well as the smaller micropolitan areas by way of the main interstate highways (5, 82 & 90). Passengers transfer buses in Missoula, MT; Portland, Seattle, Salt Lake City or Sacramento to get to where they're going.
Get around
To explore most of Washington (outside of main cities), you will generally need a car because there is very little public transportation, especially to more remote locations.
By plane
Most people get around the state by private automobile or buses but flying is still available if you're in a hurry to get there. Intrastate service is only offered by Alaska Airlines. United Express flies only between Portland & Seattle.
By car
Washington's road network is well-maintained and cars are the quickest way to travel around the state. The main freeways are I-5, running along the west side of Washington through many of Western Washington's population centers. I-90, running east of Seattle to Ellensburg and Spokane, and I-82, which starts at I-90 near Ellensburg and heads southeast through Yakima and Kennewick. Other US highways and WA state routes access all parts of the state. Rental-car agencies can be found in the larger cities.
All of the state's major east-west highways cross over the Cascade Mountains, which are subject to closure, delays, and studded tire or chain requirements in wintertime. In severe weather, it may be better to use I-84 just across the border in Oregon. This route goes through the relatively low elevation of the Columbia River Basin. On rare occasion, I-84 may also have weather-related problems where it passes north of Mount Hood. A 20-mile detour on Washington State Hwy 14 is available between I-84 Exit #44 Bridge of the Gods, and Exit #64 Hood River Bridge. Both have a small toll.
In urban areas (especially in Seattle) getting around by bus is fine but for most places, especially in small towns and in rural areas having driving is a must as (local) bus services are limited.
By bus
By ferry
Washington State Ferries [23] is the largest in the country. It has routes across Puget Sound and to Bainbridge, Vashon, Whidbey and the San Juan Islands. Inland, the state also offers some free ferries across the Columbia River. There are also some county-run ferries to smaller destinations such as to Anderson Island and Guemes Island.
Many ferry destinations are not islands without a bridge, but peninsulas where going by land would involve a very long detour. The most extreme example of this is the Port Townsend -- Keystone route on State Hwy 20. Only five and a half miles via the ferry, becomes a whopping 217 miles (354 km) traveling by car!
By train
Getting around by train on Amtrak [24] is likely to be quite a hassle, especially with infrequent departures, slow travel times, inconvenient schedules and limited routes. For those who still wish to take trains to get around Washington, these are the main routes:
For more information, see Amtrak's website, Wikitravel's article Rail travel in the United States, or the Wikipedia pages on each of this train services.
Mt. Rainier and Mt. St. Helens
Washington state is a great place for seafood, with salmon in particular being a specialty.
As with almost everywhere else in the U.S., the legal drinking and purchasing age of alcoholic beverages is 21. And as with most states, Washington uses loopholes in the federal law to allow underage drinking. Underage drinking of alcohol is allowed on private non-alcohol selling premises with parental consent. Underage drinking is allowed for religious purposes. Anyone under the age of 21 shall not be prosecuted for underage drinking if the underage drinker is succumbed to alcohol poisoning and is in need of medical assistance, but for obvious safety reasons this method is not recommended.[29]
Specialty Coffee
High quality Arabica coffee beans roasted with greater emphasis on taste and freshness, brewed with dripped water or "espresso" steam) arguably has its birthplace here. Starbucks and Tully's are apparent brands that most associate specialty coffee with Seattle. However, many small local companies are the ones that have paved the way (and continue to do so) in pioneering the specialty coffee industry. When you visit Seattle, be sure to check out these renowned coffee roasters (in no particular order):
Wine and Microbrew Beers
Washington is also the home to well-crafted local wines [30] and "microbrewery" beers.
People in the western part of the state (as in West of the Cascades) are very tolerant regarding matters of race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. That being said, a good way to get on someone's bad side is to show intolerance towards people that are a different colour, race, gender, etc. If you don't have something nice to say, just don't say anything. The eastern part of the state is much more conservative, with more than ten active hate groups. Check the SPLC website for specifics about such groups.
Washington has a large Asian population that is concentrated mostly in the western part of the state. Some understanding of the corresponding customs and culture may serve you well in these areas. Also, do not assume that no one around you speaks English (chances are they do, so watch what you say).
Do not litter along the freeways or highways. The fines for littering can range from several hundred to several thousand dollars depending on the scenario. It is an offense that the state takes VERY seriously. If you are caught in the act you will know what the state means by the "Litter and It Will Hurt" signs which frequently decorate its roadways.
Stay healthy
Like many western states, Washington State has had cases of hantaviral pulmonary syndrome, 41 confirmed cases in the state since 1993. Realistically, however, hantavirus is of very little concern to the traveler; but sensible precautions should be applied. Do NOT venture in a wild animal's den or handle any dead animals; particularly rodents, as rodents seem to be the primary vector of the illness. There is no cure for the disease, treatment mainly consists of supportive therapies. The main defense against the virus is prevention.
Stay safe
In the Cascade Mountains (which divide the state into halves) there can be significant snow accumulations during the late fall and winter months. This poses a danger for avalanches whenever these areas experience warm up periods, regardless of how brief they may be. Mountain passes are sometimes closed for avalanche control and may effect travel plans, especially along I-90 from Yakima to Seattle. Check the Washington State Department of Transportation website [32] for information regarding Avalanche control.
If going into the mountains during winter and early spring months, refer to the Northwest Weather and Avalanche Center website [33] for information regarding the current avalanche dangers throughout the Cascade region of the state.
Much like any state in the United States, Washington is generally safe provided that you use common sense and keep your wits about you. Certain areas of Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, and Yakima can become seedy after dark and it is therefore advised that one avoid being out alone very late at night; this is especially true in unlit places where you are an easy target for any crime or other illegal activity. Parks in the urban areas of western Washington are not places to be at night unless you are seeking trouble.
Be aware that public protests occur often in Washington cities, and frequently become violent. It is not advised to attend any public marches or gatherings if staying in Seattle,Tacoma, or other urban areas. Summer is high season for public protests in the state.
Property crime is a common occurrence in Washington cities. Many locals use the strategy of leaving their doors unlocked to lessen damage caused by forced entry. Use your best judgement.
If you are a military service member, use caution and discretion when out and about in uniform. In areas such as the university district and capitol hill of Seattle, assaults on military service members occur with enough frequency to warrant weekly warnings from unit commanders. The areas near military bases can get very dodgy, especially at night. Be aware of your surroundings at all times.
Stay to the main tourist areas of the state during the day and you will have a great visit.
If you find yourself in an emergency situation (of any kind), dial 911 on your phone.
East of the Cascade Mountains, the state's terrain begins to turn into desert and temperatures often exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit in regions such as the Yakima Valley and the Columbia River Plateau. If are planning on hiking into these locations, follow desert survival guidelines. Be sure to take plenty of water (at least one gallon per person, per day), sunscreen and wear light clothing. Let someone know where you are going and when you expect to get return.
Also, it is best to hike during the earlier part of the day, as thunderstorms tend to develop suddenly during the afternoon. In the event you encounter inclement weather conditions, seek high ground immediately! Thunderstorms can cause flash flooding in canyons and other low laying areas.
During the winter months, the western side of the state often receives significant rainfall which soften the grounds to such a point that landslides sometimes occur. Be especially alert when driving. Embankments along roadsides are particularly susceptible to landslides. Watch the road for collapsed pavement, mud, fallen rocks, and other indications of possible landslides or debris flows.
If you encounter a landslide, LEAVE the area immediately if it is safe to do so and call the local fire, police or public works department
Volcano safety is, to put it mildly, a controversial subject; see the article on Volcanoes (and, particularly, its discussion page) for some of the issues. Washington state is home to five major, ACTIVE volcanoes, plus one just across the border in Oregon: Mount St. Helens (1980), Mount Rainier (1894) (which is considered to be one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world), Mount Baker (1880), Mount Hood, Oregon (1866), Glacier Peak (c. 1700), and Mount Adams (c. 550 B.C.). The majority of these are considered to be tourist destinations, particularly Rainier and St. Helens.
If planning to visit one of these locations, FOLLOW the policy regarding any road and/or trail closures that at first glance may appear unnecessarily conservative -- but it is not. Believe it. The closures aren't there simply to inconvenience and irritate you. If a trail is closed due to eruptive hazard, stay off the trail.
Warning to anyone who is a non-U.S. citizen traveling from Canada. Even though Cannabis is now legal in the State, U.S. Border guards still obey federal law, where Marijuana is still illegal, so anyone trying to cross the border to the U.S. who discloses plans to try cannabis in the state could be denied entry into the U.S. or barred entry indefinitely. Guards will still be allowed to ask travelers whether they plan to buy legal marijuana.
Get out

Armed with his Mattel Magic Kit ("I loved it so much"), the very young Steve Carell would put on shows for other kids in his Acton, Mass., neighborhood. But he admits he wasn't a very good magician. "As soon as the show was over," he said, "I would tell everyone how all the tricks worked."
That's something he certainly can't do with "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone," which opens Friday and stars Carell, Jim Carrey and Olivia Wilde in a comedy about egos, illusions and plunging necklines (on Carell). In an effort to avoid too much computer enhancement, the movie used a lot of real tricks that came courtesy of its magic adviser, the celebrated David Copperfield. But it meant the actors had to sign a confidentiality agreement. "Honestly, that was the coolest part," Carell said. "You really felt you were part of that world."
Worlds collide in "Burt Wonderstone," which is set in the magic capital of the world — Las Vegas — a place where "you go big or go home," as Wilde put it, and which she said seemed "ripe" for the kind of parody they were out to do.
"And the more I learned more about Vegas magicians, the more I said, yeah, this place is right for comedy.
"And the idea of competition between magicians? They really do dislike each other."
They certainly do in "Burt Wonderstone." Burt (Carell) and his partner, Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi), have been doing turn-away business on the Vegas Strip for years (any resemblance to Siegfried and Roy is purely intentional). But their act is getting old, the seats emptier and the relationship so acrimonious they keep losing assistants and have to draft a techie named Jane (Wilde) as a last-second substitute.
Despite Jane's contributions, the act is in free-fall, and the team's boss, hotel owner Doug Munny (James Gandolfini), looks to replace them with someone edgier — someone like Steve Gray (Carrey), a street "magician" and Internet sensation whose act is more about body-modification and pain than the kind of grand illusion in which Burt and Anton have specialized ever since they were boyhood friends.
While the idea of "extreme" magic reflects something going on in the culture at large, it wasn't something the filmmakers wanted "to hit with a sledgehammer," Carell said. But he hoped it wouldn't be lost on anyone, either.
"It's the idea that something that is classic and perhaps a bit well-worn can casually be replaced by something that might not be considered art, but is new and shocking," he said. "I think that not only happens in magic but in the comedy world as well. I think there are lots of parallels, especially in television, in terms of what people are watching at this point. People are getting so much info on a daily basis, you need to do something ridiculous just to garner any attention."
In one scene, Carrey — looking remarkably buff, with a Mephistophelean beard and long, flowing locks — does a hidden-card trick that involves Steve pulling the card out of a slice in his cheek. He also attempts to set the world record for staring, while having pepper spray shot into his eyes.
"It's an observation about what people want to watch, and what audiences seem to be demanding," Wilde said. "People want to be pushed to the brink, to see what they've never seen. It's interesting because it's happening in sports and in film as well — horror, comedy. People want to be pushed to the edge. I wonder if that's a reaction to technology and what's available at our fingertips, or the demands made on entertainment that you pay for, because free content is so plentiful.
"If our film is a love letter to anything, it's to a classic style of entertainment."
Directed by TV's Don Scardino ("30 Rock," "2 Broke Girls") and written by six other people, "Wonderstone" is less than a love letter to Vegas, or the performers who inspired the Burt and Anton characters ("There were so many," Carell said with a laugh).
To be a performer in Vegas, Wilde said, "both the performance and the personality have to be heightened, just the way the city's reality is heightened. Everyone's got to have more glitter, more sequins, more hair. I don't think I realized how spot on our characters were till I came here. I mean, I really thought David Copperfield's show was just so funny."
Carell said he, too, discovered a few things about Vegas, perhaps the only city that can out-excess Hollywood.
"I found that I'm no gambler," he said. "It's not in my DNA, I'm not good at it and don't think I enjoy it. But what I really like are the restaurants. And the shows. My wife and kids came out this weekend, and we all had dinner and went to see 'O.' That's what worked for me."

That is logical.
Hear and understand, yes. Because that would be preliminary for the command. If the geass cannot be understood or heard then it's nulled, rendering them immune.
So yes, animals of any kind are immune as well, since they don't understand human language(s).
Maybe the preliminary changes for animals, instead the 'tone' of the command? No, that doesn't make sense.
So it only effects people. Machines are most likely immune as well, and so it is more like Lelouch's geass afterall. The simple fundamental of the geass is different.
Ironically, Mao is rendered immune to both Lelouch and Rai.
Mao > Wears heavily tinted sunglasses and headphones.
Lelouch: Requires optical to issue command successfully.
Rai: Requires hearing-understanding to issue command successfully.
Maybe Eternal Dreamer could enlighten us on some of the Mao dialogue between him and Rai. Since I've been stucked on an entirely different route doing an entirely different scene.

Hey guys, I just need some general info bout this game. Yep, I'm ignorant! I know some of these questions will be obvious to you guys, but anyway....
By routes, does that mean Rai ends up with the character of that route?
Is there a route for C.C.?
and well... generally... do you think it's worth buying it and all the hassel to translate (I do not know any japanese whatsoever... well, besides for konichiwa and arigato gonzaimasu, but those are a given)?

Hello, Arbitres here. Here to answer your Lost Colors questions!
1. Is there a route for C.C.?
Answer: Geass route is the very first route your presented with. Geass route has three endings: C.C., Lelouch, and Nunnally. You can't unlock any other routes until you do it - besides it's automatic. So your stuck with the route you want.
2. Is it worth buying?
Answer: Depends on whether or not you want the following.
1. The ability to change R1's storyline, character's fates and perspectives.
2. To fall in love with the character of your choosing to get your ending.
3. To form the character's personality however you want through choices.
4. to get your own personal knightmare frames. Kuro no Kishidan route gets the Pre-production Gekka. Britannia military gets Lancelot Club.
It depends on what you want in a video game. This is a visual novel, so it's choice-based and pretty much dialogue. There is anime cutscenes from the anime, though.
The abttles you fight in are either automatic or very choice-decisive. One mistake in a choice could cost you the battle. This also goes for certain events -- like the geass route has a particular event that could cause a game over.
I think you would enjoy interacting with your favorite characters, I know I do. I've had the game for months now, and I'm still having trouble clearing Britannia route. Just because it's a Visual Novel doesn't mean it's an easy game.
PSP edition includes - Japanese Liberation Front route exclusive. You join the JLF (it's a drop off event from kuro no Kishidan.) and either become a knightmare pilot or a Holy Sword. The endings you can get for JLF is Kallen ending and Nagisa ending.
PS2 edition includes - Blue Moon route exclusive. You become an ashford student (...Drop off of Ashford route.) with the ability to make anyone fall in love with you. Every character in Ashford has an ending -- all the important characters anyways.
There you go, and I hope that helps. =) Ask me some more questions! xD
EDIT: Some pictures to give you a taste of what to actually expect from Lost Colors. They are pretty bad quality, so I hope you don't let that be mistaken for ingame quality.
Spoiler for Gekka [Knightmare for Kuro no Kishidan route]:
Spoiler for Lancelot Club [Britannia Military route]:
Spoiler for Rai:

Those were some pretty thought out answers, Arbitres! I think anyone would be satisfied by your response.
But anyway, I wanted to ask a question out there to anyone who might know: Do you know if you can get a C.C. ending in the Blue Moon route for the PS2, and, if so, how do you go about getting there. I have a friend who's trying to get there in the game, but they're having some trouble and asked me if I knew anyone who might know. Since I don't know anyone else who has the PS2 version, could someone out there be kind enough to help me with this?

Um, hello~ this is my first post on this forum ^__^
I do have a question - I'm aiming at 100 percent completion of CG gallery (you may have seen my pictures on Eternal Dreamer's site) and I can't get one of the CG (http://pics.livejournal.com/yamiro/pic/00009fd9 this one exactly). Does anyone know how to get it? It's the Blue Moon Route. I believe C.C. is on this one, since I can't get her ending (I end up seeing Rivalz each time, and the last time I see her is at night on day 17) and I already cleared every other ending for this Route...
I'll appreciate any help.
Thanks, ED, I wasn't aware you were typing at the same time xD
You don't really have to buy the game. I'm running it on my PC and it's working perfectly fine

I was actually wonderinf if you all have the CGI of Kallen for blue moon?
Anyways, I'll look for you ont he particular ending you want. I'll check youtube tonight and see if I can't scrounge up anything.
Also, this may not help -- but maybe you need to avoid everyone else but C.C.? Maybe just Rivalz? Some characters are easier to get then the others (An example: Lloyd ending in Britannia route. You basically have to go on a Suzaku hating spree.)
Anyways, yeah. I'll see what I can find for you. If I find a video, do you me to post it?

Of course I have Kallen's CGs if you want I can send them to you by email or something As I said only this one little bastard is still missing.
Getting Lloyd's ending wasn't that hard, though being so mean to dear Suzaku made my heart ache xD I avoided Rivalz, haven't geassed anyone, never let C.C, near any food... nothing changed.
Thanks for your help! I really appreciate the effort

By the way, since you've cleared Britannia route ( My hero!) could you help me with the firing range, too? I'm having difficulty doing it.
The first part isn't so bad, since you can't really die. It's just when the actual threat pops and has the potential to kill you. (It's the first firing range, not the second one.)
Also, you can just private message me with the CGI of Kallen :'D
Let's see... It sounds like you did all the requirements. Maybe you should make a branch-off save and do stuff completely different? I'm sorry, but I'm still looking. I'll check youtube later tonight... Hopefully.
Day 17 at night... Have to remember this. I'll see if I can't get a walkthrough, too. It sounds difficult.
I doubt it's out there, but maybe it is. I may havr to check gamefaq too. Finding the CGI or how tog et the CGI may take awhile.. I have really crappy internet. Someone could prolly do it faster.
I'lls ee what I can do. I'ma ctually kind of interested what this CGI of C.C. is now, too.

Mm... mmm.... thanks guys, that really helped me out!
Just a couple more though, since this has really piqued my interest. What's CG and CGI mean? And also, well, can you guys read japanese or do you somehow get a translation for this stuff?
oh, and yamiro, what do you mean you're running it on ur pc? did you download it or something?

CG = Code Geass
CGI = Computer Graphic Image(s)
CGCGI = Code Geass Computer Graphic Image(s)
We usually mean it in that context.
Translation? We are the translation.
Anyways, yes -- Me nor Eternal dreamer have really good japanese skills. We use several japanese translators that can be identified on the Translation Project's site. I'm planning on going into college soon and doing japanese just for this. Screw linguistics, I'm doing it for Lost Colors.
Basically we use intuition and techniques to get the translation done. Or should I say Eternal dreamer uses intuition and techniques? The major driving force behind the translation is him, afterall.
Just for giggles, I'll tell you how it goes
Eternal dreamer = working mule
Paladinoras - AWOL custodian
Yamiro - Incredibly awesome CGI gatherer.
Arbitres = Tamaki.
EDIT: Sorry Yamiro... It's a no go. Couldn't find a walkthrough anywhere. There's alot of Lost Colors scenes, so I wouldn't know. Watched a few videos, there is C.C. but nothing that involves that scene.
Sorry, Yamiro.

ZeBird0, I made a small guide how to run it on PC ^__^ If you want, check it out here, on my LJ account - http://yamiro.livejournal.com/3077.html
Arbitres, firing range? You mean when that psycho Britannian soldier pops up? I have almost given up while playing the Britannia Route the first time. Try: Cross, Triangle, Cross, Triangle, Cross, Cross, Triangle, Cross and Triangle again. Took me at least half a hour to find out how to pass o.O' (more evil than Assassin tomb challenges... evil, evil things)
Okay, I'll send you a PM right away. I'm pretty sure it'll be C.C. image since there is only one pic of her in Blue Moon Gallery - the one at the pool. Thanks for help again! Right now I'm working on Britannia - Suzaku, Lloyd and Cornelia's Royal Guard cleared - I'm trying to find out how to het a noble title I want a Jeremiah ending xD

I'm sorry I couldn't get it, Yamiro. I mean yeah, there is lots of videos, so I wouldn't know... Sorry.
Jeremiah ending? Sounds citrus-y. From what I here you get to seem him blush in his ending. I don't care if I sound 'weird', that would be totally worth seeing xD
Thanks for the help, Yamiro. I hope it works ><
This is unlikely, but is there a Kallen ending for Britannia route? xD

Haha, no. There is no Kallen ending - only Suzaku and Lloyd. Royal Guard is kind of strange since Rai was molested by miss Enneagram but went out with Euphie... at least that's how it ended for me. And from what I know, Noble/Purist Route ends with Villetta or Jeremiah.
The only girls from Ashford you see are Milly (automatic scenes), Shirley and Nina.
And you can see Jeremiah blushing in Blue Moon too! Ah, there was this scene where Lulu called him Orange xD Priceless.

Actually... why don't you give us a walk through of all the Britannia routes battles? ^__^ it's for a good cause, plus I'll save it and credit you whenever someone asks for a specific battle.
Can't be too ahrd... you helped me on a single battle I've been stuck on for MONTHS. You have no idea how much this means to me Thank you! Thank you! >:P
EDIT: Dude, I'm such a f***ing badass. You know that? Badass.
I cleared Narita on my first try. FIRST. TRY.
FIRST. :'D All you have to do is shoot Tamaki up a bit and go after Zero. Damn when Guren shot me I thought I was screwed >_< .... Also, I had 1 stat bar of energy left.
Pffft. They call Tohdoh the miracle work. :P Anyways... next battle is something I'll probably need help with.
(Damn I'm so awesome.)

xD Yeah, it's such a pity you can't get a Cecille ending... but at the other hand it may have been lethal for Rai.
Sure no problem, though I would have to replay it, since my notes are a mess.
From what I remember, the next battle ia at the port? Press O, X at the beginning then ask Suzaku for help ( O ). Aim for Zero and repeat the whole action.
At Fukuoka: /\. /\, /\, /\, /\, X, /\, /\, X.
Battles for Royal Guard route haven't survived, but I'll try to make a guide for you ^__^

Cecille ending should have happened, but happened like the Guilford ending -- it never came.
I just finished Royal Guard route thanks to the guide Yamiro has given me. Incredibly accurate, never lost once thanks to it.
Now I have to put up with Vile in pure idiot blood faction. I don't want to do it because
1) I have to interact more with Vile then I'd ever have to.
2) I'm not into the whole 'pure blood' thing.
3) Kallen isn't a pure-blood. So therefore the pure bloods can go **** themselves. Kallen interaction was bare in SD route, nearly nonexistent in Royal Guard route.... I do NOT want to go through an entire route without interaction with Kallen. (More then the start up days.)
I got 96% on movies. Almost done... All I need to do is court Euphemia on SD route and I'm golden <3
...Urgh. I really don't want to do Pure idiot blood faction, do I have to? In order to get 100%?

Oh, you don't like Villetta? She is not that bad... and she looks cute in her uniform (the one she wore when she was in Purist Fraction)
To get 100% we will have to go through her. There are still 9 pictures missing in Britannia chapter's gallery. But I have no idea how to join with them T.T Replayed that route from scratch, replayed Narita... duh, everything is exactly as it was before T.T
Good luck with Euphie! There wasn't much of her in SD though, so you may have some problems with that

Supposedly, If you have the save for Britannia rotue on the fourth save file, it won't load as 'third playthrough and beyond', meaning you have to go to a different save file in order to play purist faction... Or was that royal guard :cofused:
Spoiler for Geass Route:
Also, how will we get screenshots from JLF route? PSP exclusive is exclusive, afterall. How will we get the CGI for JLF up? Am I worrying too much?

Kim Kardashian went on a Twitter rant yesterday after having a very scary run-in with the paparazzi. According to Kim, four cars filled with paps boxed her in on all sides while she was driving so they could control her speed and shoot her through her car windows. Yikes!
Photos: Check out our picks for Kim's baby wardrobe!
While it can be annoying to listen to celebrities complain about the attention they get, this sounds like a truly terrifying situation. Kim tweeted, "I wouldn't let the paps get a pic of me today & they threatened my life & said if I continue to block shots they will make my world dangerous to live in!"
Photos: See the Instagrams that celebs took at Kim Kardashian's baby shower!
She continued, "How dare they threaten my life & my unborn child! This has gotten way out of control!" before pleading, "Let me enjoy this last month of pregnancy please without threats & being scared to leave my home…"
Do you feel bad for Kim? Why do you think there aren't more laws in place about paparazzi—this example sounds like reckless driving! How would you handle such a thing? Tell us in the comments below or tweet us @OKMagazine.

Summer's in full force and of course, that means stepping out in feminine, fun styles. When it comes to footwear, one trend we can't get enough of are shoes with laser cut out designs. Their patterns range from perfectly round mini circles to edgier geometric shapes, giving shoes (and us) a look that's as unique as our personality. Sometimes sweet, sometimes bold, the laser cut out shoes trend is full of head-turning sass.
We're not the only ones feeling cut-out shoe design awesomeness. We love it, but when renowned beauty and style expert Tai Beauchamp boasts about them, we know we're on to something great. Not only is the lovely Beauchamp the Style Ambassador of InStyle, she also rocks the beauty and style world as an on-air style expert for shows like "The Today Show," "The Wendy Williams Show," CNN and TV One.
The Irresistibility Factor
The beauty declares the cut-out shoe trend as one of her favorites this season, saying they "are more feminine than the cage or gladiator sandal, but just as sexy." Beauchamp adds that the cut-out look "offers fashionistas two opportunities: 1) to showcase perfect pedis and 2) let well moisturized skin have their peek-a-boo moment." Wow. Practical and sexy! We'll take that anytime, right ladies?
Tip: As if looking great in these cutting edge summer shoes isn't enough, Beauchamp offers a tip that will not only keep our shoes fitting right, but our skin looking great. "If your feet tend to swell after hours in heels, drink lots of water and buy shoes a half size larger, making sure to add a sleek and slim insole."
Bonus Alert: for those of us with an eye on the Fall, not to worry. Picking up a pair (or five) of these shoes now (for me, that will be today) is a smart move. "The great thing about this trend is that they pair well with opaque tights when the weather transitions to fall," says Beauchamp.
Ah. Stylish, comfortable feet, the power of hydration and a look that lasts through more than one season. What's not to like about these beauties?
So let's um, cut to the chase, shall we? Here are 10 pretty cut-out shoes that made us at TBF fall head over heels. From subtle cut-out accents to laser cuts galore, there's a stylish beat-the-heat look for everyone.
Cut to the Chase: 10 Cut-Out Shoe Designs We Love, All Under $50
What laser cut-out shoes will be your summer (and fall) picks?

FROM THE FRONT | Illamasqua Soho boutique
AN ELDERLY woman, two French tourists, a drag queen in street clothes, a mum and daughter and me... that was the motley crew of customers in Illamasqua's new Soho boutique on the afternoon I visited the space.
It was all black lacquer, antique gold, low lights, artful mannequins, boudoir mirrors and a bijous, gilded makeup school hidden behind goth circus tent-stripped curtains. The space is an homage to playing dress-up with your makeup. The products, from colorful pencils through to base products, ring the room, with the makeup station manned by very good good makeup artists sits in the center, next to the shattered mirror till. And a glass case abutting the left wall as you walk in houses items donated by stars in support of Illamasqua's Sophie Lancaster Foundation.
Highlights of the shop: Being able to play with all the products (including the nail varnishes, liquid metal and pure pigments), all testers are in pristine shape, the shrine to Sophie Lancaster, amazing makeup artists who will do you an entire look for fun (thank you, Amanda!); the makeup remover used in the makeup school (the Crealine H20 cleanser by Bioderma); the makeup school; Alex Box air-brushed mannequins...
Stand-out products: Illamasqua precision ink in Alchemy, Christmas nail varnish duos, liquid metal in Resolute and matte finish lipsticks
I went into the shop a regular girl and came out looking part Debbie Harry, part Jem and the Holograms. Pretty cool...
Check out and enroll in Illamasqua's School of Make-up Art classes.

DOVER -- February School Vacation Week at the Dover Public Library kicks off with a family-friendly classical music concert on Saturday, February 23 at 11am.
Selections from Franz Schubert, performed by pianists Naho Bessho and Ichiko Harju, cellist Gary Hodges, bassist Ken Godel, violinist Melissa Waterhouse, violist Sally Wituszynski, and soprano Sharon Baker, will entertain all ages during this 45-minute free concert, specially designed to enthrall even the youngest child!
Then at 2pm on the 23rd, the room will transform into a movie theater for a free showing of 13 animated short films from Pixar (run time: 54 minutes). This collection features "The Adventures of Wally B.", "Luxo Jr.", "Red's Dream", "Knick Knack", "Boundin'", "Jack-Jack Attack", "One Man Band", and "Lifted". It also includes Oscar-winning shorts "Tin Toy", "Geri's Game", and "For the Birds". "Monsters Inc."'s Mike shows up in "Mike's New Car", while a certain beloved truck from "Cars" makes an appearance in "Mater and the Ghostlight".
Children of all ages are invited to make a "Dancing Dragon" at the Make-it, Take-it Craft Table in the Children's Room from Monday, February 25 through Saturday, March 2. All materials will be provided.
On Tuesday, February 26 at 10 am, actress, writer, and puppeteer Nicola McEldowney will perform "Ferdinand", a puppet show based on the heart-warming children's tale The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf. The story is about a sweet-natured bull named Ferdinand who'd rather smell the flowers than lock horns with other bulls and fight. Nicola, a graduate of Columbia University, studied theater at Sorbonne-Nouvelle University in Paris. In 2011 she was commissioned by Columbia's Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures to create their first-ever departmental puppet show, for which she was awarded a Gatsby Charitable Foundation Arts Grant. Sponsored by The Friends of the Dover Public Library, Nicola's performance is free and open to the public.
A "Drop-in" Story Time will be held in the library's Lecture Hall on Wednesday, February 27 at 9:30 am. All are welcome to attend this session of stories, songs, and finger plays chosen for 3-5 year-olds.
On Thursday, February 28 at 10am the Library will screen Pixar Short Films, Volume 2, which includes 12 short films, including Academy Award nominees "Presto," "Day & Night," "La Luna," and a host of family favorites (run time: 75 minutes). Join us for this celebration of imagination packed with unforgettable animation, fantastic stories and captivating characters. All the Pixar shorts are rated G.
And don't forget to utilize the library's museum membership passes (allowing free or discounted admission) contributed by the Friends of the Library. Passes for a total of 15 area museums are available, but five of these will especially appeal to children: The Children's Museum of New Hampshire right here in Dover, the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center in Concord, the Museum of Science and New England Aquarium in Boston, and the Seacoast Science Center in Rye. Dover Public Library cardholders may reserve a pass by calling the Children's Room at 516-6052.

Cat Deeley is superstitious. If she was going to be nominated for serving as host on Fox's popular reality TV competition, "So You Think You Can Dance," she wanted to hear the news from her husband, not a publicist or a manager.
"So my husband rang me this morning and said, 'I'm very proud of you, and don't I have a clever wife,'" said Deeley, who is flying to New York City on Friday morning for a friend's wedding.
"There will be big celebrations there and when we get back to L.A.," said Deeley, her English accent touched with enthusiasm. "Watch out, New York! This weekend the Big Apple might not be big enough for all of us — we go hard."
EMMY ROUNDTABLE: Cat Deely, Jeff Probst and more talk reality TV
Deeley plays hard, but she also works hard, and audiences can tell. But she hopes they can also tell how much she loves hosting the show.
"Even if you mess up, drop the mic or fall over -- if you handle it with grace and charm, it really endears you to the audience," she says. "And it's not a job, I'm doing what I love."
Audiences have responded positively thus far, and it seems they will likely continue to do so into the indefinite future.
"We're currently in season 10, and we've always been a slightly niche show," Deeley said. "You wonder, 'Have we run our course? Are we still relevant?' and then you go to the auditions and there are kids who are 18 and have been watching since they were 9."
EMMYS 2013: Full coverage | Top nominees | Complete list | Recap
That means something to Deeley.
"We're still relevant in the dance community," she says. "We've never had an audience as big as 'Idol' and we probably never will, because singing is a much more broad category. But dance is taken really seriously and our core audience is so passionate. And that's the secret to our longevity."

With the excesses and abuses of the Universal Service Fund so well documented, it's rather surprising to find anyone who still believes in it (well, other than politicians and the companies that benefit from it, that is). Some are still out there though, and think the flawed system needs expansion. Computerworld editor Preston Gralla writes in support of a new proposal out of Congress that would add a federal tax to broadband bills for the purpose of helping to build out rural broadband. Gralla argues that the tax needs to be put in place to make up for diminishing revenue on long-distance taxes. But there are also state taxes on mobile-phone use, and as it is the USF already has way too much money. The main beneficiaries of this money aren't the rural residents, but rather the operators that rake in an exorbitant amount to provide rural service. If the USF actually had a track of delivering on its goals, that would be one thing. Then we'd be left debating the merits of government-subsidized rural broadband, and whether people who live in rural areas have any reason to expect the same services afforded to city dwellers. Unfortunately, the USF doesn't accomplish what it sets out to, because it's so poorly managed, which should make anyone hesitant to throw more money at it. If politicians insist on subsidizing rural broadband, then here's a better idea: why not force the companies that are raking in $13,000 per year per customer to spend some of that money on building out internet access? Surely they have some money left over after the cost of providing phone service.

That would be logical and fair, but then the telcos wouldn't be able to afford their lobbyists and the mil+/yr salaries of their execs.

Just What The USF Needs -- More MoneyYou know what? It's not so much that people don't care anymore... but unfortunately THEY DON'T. It's more a matter of absolute frustration. There is so much that is $%#%$#$-up in this country that people don't know which way to go next? We have become a society of resigned apathy. Nobody is watching the cash register, and everybody is trying to figure out how to get their hands in the drawer.

Re: Just What The USF Needs -- More MoneyWhat has been documented is the MINORITY of players abusing this system. The majority of players in this market are conservative operators that operate within the rules and in many cases even more conservatively than that. The RBOCs / AT&T don't want these areas for a reason. They are high cost customers & difficult to sell value-added (high-margin) services to with less customers per mile, period! Also, wireless carriers have been taking from USF as "rural carriers" reducing the take for the traditional companies that have benefited from this fund. In most cases, wireless companies participating is bogus!
Dave, 1 Feb 2007 @ 11:40am
USF? Ask whether we need it!I gotta ask who they think isn't being served?
I live in Wyoming (arguably the most rural state in the lower 48!) and we generally have broadband in every community.
Besides the wide availability of cable internet services, there are several regional ISPs that are investing heavily in providing broadband throughout the state. One is my ISP. Cellular broadband is also starting to spread. I can have Verizon EVDO if I choose.
I would like to think that this tax money would end up in the hands of one of these independent ISP's that is actually trying to expand broadband access, but I doubt it. Somehow, I think the $$$ will stay in the pockets of the big boys. Fooey on this idea!
Reality Check, 1 Feb 2007 @ 12:33pm
Build out requirementsUmm, didn't the FCC remove the "build out" requirements, recently?
So what the point of the USF, I thought that companies could use the USF funds to satisfy their build out needs. However, since the requirement is removed, how are their needs going to be defined now, stockholders? And do they still get to rape the USF fund? What about stick issue of "right of way" which I thought was the trade-off to "build out" requirements?
When you get right down to it, we're not getting what we paid for, with regards to our broad-band, phone, cable, and USF costs.

ADSL2+If an ADSL2+ DSLAM (one which supported RADSL) was put in every exchange, then only those stuck on a RIM or too far from the exchanges (about 5750m with RADSL to get 1500kbps, some signal can reach as far as 6750m, seeInternode's whebsite) will be stuck on slow internet. Don't go on about sattelite, since one-way sattelite uses dial-up or ISDN for the uplink, while 2-way is expensive.
Cable is OK, and gives the chance of pirateing TV, but there is the problem of having to share with too many people.
unityworks, 4 May 2007 @ 11:01am
Require USF Recipients to Provide Broadband UpgradSince there is little oversight of carrier's use of their USF funds, carriers should have to submit a broadband upgrade plan specifically for rural areas before and after receiving funding. Carrier plans should have to meet a new national goal of 10 mbps down and at least 2 mbps up by 2010. Carriers that don't meet the goal or deadline should be subject to penalties up to and including the reimbursement of USF monies obtained.
For more information regarding high speed Internet issues and proposals check out the Speed Matters Campaign.

I'm severely ruralIf I go 1/8 a milr southwest of my home I can get a cellphone signal and if I go 1/2 a mile North of my home I can get reception there. I am in a technology dead zone. If I could elevate myself 60 feet into the air I would be able to use my cellphone from home and possibly even cell phone internet. It would be expensive.

The Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme brags of being one of the most attractive vehicles ever manufactured by General Motors for the American market. It has a long history running from 1964 to 1997 with five generations.
The first edition came onto the market as a midsize four-door sedan in 1966 but with time developed other editions, including a two-door coupe and a two-door convertible. To expand the trim options the vehicle uses different transmissions, namely a two-speed automatic transmission and four-speed and three-speed manual transmissions. In tandem with the variety offered over the years, the Cutlass Supreme has also sported different engine options at various times: a 4.1-liter, a 5.7-liter, a 3.8-liter, and a 7.8-liter V-8 in the later years.
The Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme serves as a practical vehicle for the regular car owner by offering such things as fuel efficient engines, EPA rated between 19/20 mpg city/highway and 20/30 mpg city/highway. Some of the main areas that have triggered a recall from the NHTSA include malfunctioning lighting of the rear indicators such as brake lights, which took place in 1990, a malfunction in the wipers, which took place in the 1994 and 1995 editions, and un-refined airbag technology, again in the 1995 and also in the 1996 editions. Other mechanical issues that the NHTSA identifies as compromising safety include the vehicle's safety technology under crash conditions.
The 1979 Cutlass Supreme offers two body designs, coupe and sedan, and uses a four-speed automatic transmission with 3.1-liter V-6, 160-hp engine on the Supreme SL Series I coupe, Supreme SL Series I sedan, Supreme SL Series II coupe, and Supreme SL Series II sedan. The 1979 Supreme 200-LX employs a 2.4-liter I4, 173-hp engine that pairs with a four-speed automatic transmission.
The 1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme provides 37.8 inches of headroom and 42.3 inches of legroom in the front, as well as 37.1 inches of headroom and 34.8 inches of legroom in the rear, making it a fairly comfortable vehicle for all occupants. The 1979 Cutlass Supreme comes standard with cruise control and air-conditioning. This edition does not factor in much entertainment as only a radio comes standard in the 1979 Cutlass Supreme 200-LX trim, whereas the cassette player is only available in the 1979 Supreme Series I, II, and III sedan and coupe trims.
The 1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme I, II, and III trims measure 193.8 inches in length, 71.5 inches in width, and 53.0 in height, sitting on a 107.5 inch wheelbase with a ground clearance of 6.2 inches. They use 215-60R16 tires that fit on alloy wheels. The 1979 Cutlass Supreme 200-LX trim, however, has a slightly larger wheelbase of 108.9 inches, with 225-55R17 tires on alloy wheels giving the vehicle a regal appearance. Power windows and a rear window defogger add to the 1979 Supreme edition's convenience features.
The Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme underwent some significant changes over the years, though from year-to-year, the vehicle did not change drastically. For instance the 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme edition sports a 3.4-liter V-6 DOHC engine as standard, with a four-speed manual transmission.
The 1992 Cutlass Supreme's main changes incorporate the slanted and more curvaceous, aerodynamic body design. The exterior functionality also shows changes to the head lamps that give the vehicle a more regal appearance, as well as better visibility at night.
The 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme drops the five-speed manual transmission engine, but takes on a convertible body. Safety features such as driver and passenger front airbags did not become a standard feature in this range of vehicles until the following year when the 1994 Cutlass Supreme released, and in the same year the anti-lock braking system (ABS) became a standard safety feature on all the trims.
Design, function, and safety take center stage on the 1995 Cutlass Supreme and 1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme editions. With the release each year, the vehicle adds a more enhanced safety system with a better suspension to ensure a safer drive, better control at stopping, and more stable corner and speed maneuverability. Aesthetics of the interior design of the vehicles also take a turn for the better with the driver panels in the front becoming more pleasant to the eye. The 1996 Cutlass Supreme offers a 3.1-liter V-6 engine for the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme I, II, and III Series, while the ABS braking system comes as a standard feature for all the trims.
1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme
Coupe, Midsize, Sedan
The 1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme is available in sedan and coupe body styles.

What are your thoughts on the saying, "Treat your friends like family and your family like friends"? Just out of curiosity...
Uh.....I left home for a reason.
I'll pray for your family, Ialmisry, because my own mother has that uncontrollable rage!
If you have a criminal court ruling and DCFS on your side, why not appeal the case and take it out of the hands of a family court...an appellate court is far more capable to rule on these matters. I actually agree that family court, in general, is a joke...these proceedings should probably be heard and decided upon by a jury like any other case and if one is going to insist on using a judge, it should probably be a judge from a Criminal Court...the idea of having a separate family court is a proven failure.

It's on him now, he needs to right this, and soon.
Even before the offense took steps forwards against NE, the offense could always; run the ball, hit any pattern, could throw long WELL. The defense has the players and tools to play well. Plus, this team ALWAYS plays hard, in every facet of the game.
Playing hard usually will beat the likes of Detroit. The talent differential should've beaten the Rams. And, the offense seemed uninterested in winning the SF game (based on poor execution).
I look at a team like Miami, with SO much less, seemingly playing better and just as hard. And, they're winning, ON THE ROAD. So, for all the excuses of how better it is, how much brilliance Pete has shown putting this together, there's no more excuses for not winning.
Yesterday really pissed me off. That's a mentally soft team the Seahawks lost to. The perfect type of learning road win this teams NEEDS to get.
I'm appreciative of Pete. But, there's no more room for losses.

50 to 70 million Americans are affected by chronic sleep disorders and intermittent sleep problems that can significantly diminish health, alertness and safety. Untreated sleep disorders have been linked to hypertension, heart disease, stroke, depression, diabetes and other chronic diseases. Sleep problems can take many forms and can involve too little sleep, too much sleep or inadequate quality of sleep.
The Institute of Medicine recently estimated in its report, Sleep Disorders and Sleep Deprivation: An Unmet Public Health Problem , that "hundreds of billions of dollars a year are spent on direct medical costs related to sleep disorders such as doctor visits, hospital services, prescriptions, and over-the-counter medications." Sleep problems and lack of sleep can affect everything from personal and work productivity to behavioral and relationship problems. Sleep problems can have serious consequences. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, drowsy driving claims more than 1,500 lives and causes at least 100,000 motor vehicle crashes each year.
Compounding the problem is the fact that most people know when to seek medical help for physical discomfort such as fever or pain—but sleep problems are often overlooked or ignored. In fact, the overwhelming majority of people with sleep disorders are undiagnosed and untreated.
Should Your Sleep Be Evaluated?
To determine whether you might benefit from a sleep evaluation, ask yourself the following questions:
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then a complete sleep evaluation should be considered

Hummingbird Bold Font by Laura Worthington
Hummingbird is reminiscent of old-fashioned cursive penmanship, the sort learned by endless repetition and found in treasured letters bundled together by silken ribbons or in worn leather-bound ledgers. The aim of cursive penmanship was a graceful, yet disciplined uniformity. But to the discerning eye, those hours of painstakingly practiced elegant scripts were still thoroughly human, filled with unintentional variations. Hummingbird uses technical sophistication to create a typeface that is lovely, sensual, airy, personal and innately human as the writer's hand and pen.
A unique feature of Hummingbird is its 214 subtle variations, known as contextual alternates. The alternates bring a flowing randomness to the typeface, tempered by their reference to a more natural handwritten appearance, rather than acting as a sort of decorative embellishment. The font also has 266 swashes that include an entire set of decorated uppercase letters that add personality, emphasis and beauty.

United Technologies (NYSE:UTX) beat the Street on Wednesday with a 55% leap in fourth-quarter profits and reaffirmed its 2013 guidance, but the blue-chip conglomerate's revenue trailed forecasts.
Continue Reading Below
Shares of UTC, the parent of Pratt & Whitney and helicopter maker Sikorsky, ticked slightly higher ahead of the opening bell.
The industrial company said it earned a net profit of $2.06 billion, or $2.26 a share, last quarter, compared with a profit of $1.33 billion, or $1.47 a share, a year earlier.
The net profit included a gain of about $1.05 billion tied to the sale of its Hamilton Sundstrand line of businesses.
Operating earnings per share dipped to $1.04 from $1.42. Excluding one-time items like restructuring charges, UTC earned $1.29 a share. Analysts had been calling for EPS of $1.03.
On the other hand, revenue jumped 14% to $16.44 billion, trailing the Street's view of $16.63 billion. Organic sales were flat and net acquisitions provided 15 percentage points of growth.
UTC CEO Louis Chenevert acknowledged a "challenging economic environment," but called 2012 a "transformational year" for the company thanks to a slew of strategic moves, including the acquisition of Goodrich.
Looking ahead, UTC is standing by its projection for 2013 EPS of $5.85 to $6.15. Chenevert said UTC executives "remain confident" in the forecast thanks in part to "broad based improvement in our order trends."
The midpoint of the 2013 range, $6.00 per share, would narrowly trail the Street's view of $6.04.
Shares of Hartford, Conn.-based UTC gained 0.61% to $88.00 ahead of Wednesday's opening bell. UTC has rallied almost 7% so far in 2013 and is up 14% over the past 12 months.

Long before my obsession with makeup began, there was art.
Somewhere in middle school, art class became more serious for me.
I loved spending weeks on one project (sometimes months), shading, erasing, perfecting.
The cartoon above was drawn from one published in the Sunday paper. I also loved to draw from perfume ads.
Black and white is my favorite, drawn with pencil.
Recognize an old Lancome mascara ad?
Another colored pencil copy from a cartoon in the newspaper.
I experimented with watercolor in elementary school, but I would love to learn more.
Rita Hayworth.
Jim Morrison.
John Lennon. I went through a phase of drawing dead singers. I especially loved classic rock from the 60s and 70s.
A man from a Time Life photo book.
This documents my foray into mural painting and brief love of scrap booking.
My friend and I painted these characters onto her son's wall.
My BAD hairdresser hair- don't judge me! This will give you an idea of how large the figures were though.
I always have dreamed of going back to school or taking classes to learn more. Maybe one day when these kids get older.
Do you have any artistic hobbies besides blogging or cosmetics? I'd love to hear in the comments.
