What To Look For In Healthcare Reform: Location, Location, Location
Demographics May Be Destiny, but Mind the Assumptions
Demographic projections have become an essential tool of national, state and local governments, international agencies, and private businesses. The first step in planning for the future is to get a picture of what the terrain is going to look like when you get there. That's mainly what I do for clients, audiences and subscribers, and demographics provide the frame (like assembling all the straight-edge pieces of a jigsaw puzzle first). read more »
There is no "Free Market" Housing Solution
The common line used by advocates of housing affordability has been that the solution lies in "free markets". Yet this "free market" solution does not address the fundamental problem which is really a political one.
This true fundamental problem is particularly evident here in Britain, the leader in house price inflation and housing financial bubbles since the 1970s. In their recent report Global capital markets, the McKinsey Global Institute has confirmed what has been shown in recent Demographia surveys. read more »
Capping Emissions, Trading On The Future
Whatever the results of the Copenhagen conference on climate change, one thing is for sure: Draconian reductions on carbon emissions will be tacitly accepted by the most developed economies and sloughed off by many developing ones. In essence, emerging economies get to cut their "carbon" intensity--a natural product of their economic evolution--while we get to cut our throats.
The logic behind this prediction goes something like this. Since the West created the industrial revolution and the greenhouse gases that supposedly caused this "crisis," it's our obligation to take much of the burden for cleaning them up. read more »
When Granny Comes Marching Home Again... Multi-Generational Housing
During the first ten days of October 2008, the Dow Jones dropped 2,399.47 points, losing 22.11% of its value and trillions of investor equity. The Federal Government pushed a $700 billion bail-out through Congress to rescue the beleaguered financial institutions. The collapse of the financial system in the fall of 2008 was likened to an earthquake. In reality, what happened was more like a shift of tectonic plates.
The driveway tells the story. The traditional two-story 2,200 square foot suburban home has a two-car attached garage. Today's multi-generational families fill the garage, the driveway and often also occupy the curb in front of the home. The economic crisis that is transforming America is also changing the way we live. The outcome will change the way America views its housing needs for the balance of the 21st Century. read more »
A Return to the City or a New Divide in the Nation's Capital Region?
Census data continue to suggest that fringe areas still grow faster than cities, but some have continued to argue that the flight to the suburbs has ended, or at least slowed, and that we are experiencing a resurgence of urban living. In a 2005 article for the Journal of the American Planning Association, Robert Fishman predicts a new pattern of migration – a so-called Fifth Migration – that will revitalize inner core neighborhoods that were depopulated through decades of suburbanization. In a 2004 study of the New York region, James W. Hughes and Joseph J. read more »
The Infrastructure Canard
One of the principal arguments used against suburbanization is that its infrastructure is too expensive to provide. As a result, planners around the high income world have sought to draw boundaries around growing urban areas, claiming that this approach is less costly and that it allows current infrastructure to be more efficiently used.
Like so many of the arguments (a more appropriate term would be "excuse") used to frustrate the clear preferences about where people want to live and work, the infrastructure canard holds little water upon examination. read more »
So Much for Evidence-Based Planning
Has evidence-based planning fallen from grace in favour of catchy slogans and untested assumptions? In the case of urban planning, arguably that is just what's happened. The evidence, in Australia at least, is worrying.
"We must get people out of cars and onto public transport." "We must stop urban sprawl and the consumption of valuable land." "We must build higher density communities to achieve sustainable environmental outcomes." Phrases like this are now de rigueur across many discussions about urban planning in the media, in politics and in regulatory circles in Australia. They are rarely challenged on the basis of what the actual social, economic or scientific evidence is really saying. read more »
It's A Mall World After All
If Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh wants a taste of home during his visit to Washington this week, he might consider a trip to McLean, Va., home to the region's largest indoor mall, Tysons Corner Center. After all, there are few groups more mall-crazy than India's expanding affluent class.
Back here in the U.S., urban boosters and planners like to predict that malls are "vanishing." But while consumer-deflated America may suffer from mall fatigue and a hangover from overbuilding, much of the developing world has experienced no such malaise. In 2000, for example, India was virtually mall-less. Today it has several hundred, with scores of new ones on the drawing boards. read more »
Migration: Geographies In Conflict
It's an interesting puzzle. The "cool cities", the ones that are supposedly doing the best, the ones with the hottest downtowns, the biggest buzz, leading-edge new companies, smart shops, swank restaurants and hip hotels – the ones that are supposed to be magnets for talent – are often among those with the highest levels of net domestic outmigration. New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Miami and Chicago – all were big losers in the 2000s. Seattle, Denver, and Minneapolis more or less broke even. read more »

Rights of Mobile Home/RV Park Tenants in Texas
Where on the internet can I locate up-to-date information on the rights, if any, of Mobile Home owners who rent their site in Mobile Home parks in the State of Texas.
Any information would be appreciated.
Re: Rights of Mobile Home/RV Park Tenants in Texas
Lawyers.com: Leasing a Mobile Home & Mobile Home Park Space
For the most part, renting or leasing a mobile home and a space in mobile home park are similar to any other residential lease, but there are some important distinctions. Many states have specific laws that govern and control rentals of mobile homes and spaces in mobile homes parks. This is so, primarily, because of the unique nature of mobile homes: the tenant usually owns the home, which is typically quite large, and once set up in a park, the home is not really "mobile." So, because it's difficult to pick up the home and move the home, the tenant and landlord-the park owner-are not on equal footing when it comes to disputes, such as rent increases.
Some states don't have such laws, and in those that do, there can be some very significant differences. Before you enter into a lease, it's very important that you check the mobile home laws in your area, or get some help from an attorney experienced in real estate law.

Re: Rights of Mobile Home/RV Park Tenants in Texas
To the original poster: I've just read that a landlord is required by law, as of 2002, to give at least 60 days notice if they want you to move your home. If the land use intent changes and the new owners want you out, then it is a 180 day time frame. Still quite unsettling and discomforting, but we DO have rights afforded to us by law; however, it truly infuriating that someone like me, an incidental resident of a mobile home park with substandard plumbing, has to sweet talk a landlord into fixing a raw sewage leak that has bubbled up underneath my home three times now since April 2009. I am NOT trash, as the American public seems to so willingly think, and my home and yard are immaculately maintained. However, since my foriegner landlord seems to think that she is still in her homeland, she is an abusive tyrant. My home is my own, our rent is paid. I have other people's waste underneath my home at this very moment. The odor is horrific and I do believe this is why my eyes are irritated and my throat is sore. The first sewage leak made me sick for three days and my family couldn't even eat in our house. She was notified last night about it and I am still waiting on a phone call with intent to send a plumber my way. It just seems that Texas law in this situation truly needs a huge overhaul- but until residents of mobile home parks can show others that we are not "trailer trash", the cities in this state will just be okay with our mistreatment- this was made quite evident to me by my city's rapid development of site- built homes and the mention of mobile home value vs. site built value in a city hall meeting. If my town could throw us away, they would... in a heartbeat. I never intended to be a resident of a mobile home park... this was to be a temporary stop with plans to look for land when my husband deployed. 12 years later, I am still here. My home and yard are the nicest in the park due to my own backbreaking efforts to provide a memorable childhood for my children- yet I have POOP under my house and am being made to wait by a landlord with a third- world upbringing . The irony of my situation does not escape me- we have served America proudly and with honor- yet I am living on a piece of land with third world tendencies right in the middle of this great country of ours... and legally have virtually no leg to stand on. It would take me four to six months to move everything we've accumulated. A 60 day notice is not nearly enough; 180 days is pushing it, too. Well, I'm off to take a Motrin for the fume- induced headache I now have...
Re: Rights of Mobile Home/RV Park Tenants in Texas
You need to send written notice to the LL of your repair request. Send it certified mail, return receipt requested. Keep a copy and the postcard that comes back. Why go to all this trouble for something that is obvious? Because it creates a paper trail that serves as evidence of the LL's negligence! Then call the local health department immediately to have the owner cited for health and safety violations. (Or whatever department handles these in your area.) If the LL does not handle these promptly, s/he will receive a fine for each day and you may be able to sue him/her.
Re: Rights of Mobile Home/RV Park Tenants in Texas
Where can I find information when it comes to RV's and RV Park Tenants in Texas? Any information will be great as to what rights do we who full time RV have?
Re: Rights of Mobile Home/RV Park Tenants in Texas
An RV park would fall under the same category as vacation rentals or motels. This is not considered to be a full-time residential rental. These RVs are mobile and are not a permanent location to live, as considered by state laws. Check for state laws on hotels or vacation rentals. I think you will find that you do not have all the same protections as residential tenants since they are not permanent places. The reasoning behind this is because you could "unplug" and drive out at any time.
Re: Rights of Mobile Home/RV Park Tenants in Texas
My situation is a bit different. I live with my boyfriend in his RV, along with my 2 boys. He all of a sudden came up Friday night and said 'I've got an apartment, so you need to find a place by Wednesday, I'm moving the RV somewhere else'.
Are the tenant and resident laws the same regarding RVs if you have lived in one for more than 6 months at a specific address? I would think it would be the same as being locked out of an apartment. This is my residence, and I would hope there is something I can do to keep him from just up and pulling it away.
If anyone has any specific information about this, could you please let me know? Tomorrow is when he is planning this. My neighbor said to call the police when he tried, but I'd like to know my rights before I make a huge scene for nothing.
Re: Rights of Mobile Home/RV Park Tenants in Texas
Definitely call the police if he tries this. You have residency rights and he must give you the amount of notice as a month to month tenant before expecting you to leave. In TX, this means he has to give you one month's notice prior to expecting you out. You should expect to be able to show residency at this address by mail addressed there, a driver's license with that address, utility bills, or some other proof that you live there. Get these together tonight. Show these to police and prove that you live there. He cannot just take your home away, even if it falls under vacation rentals.
Re: Rights of Mobile Home/RV Park Tenants in Texas
I agree--I run a park in AZ.
Re: Rights of Mobile Home/RV Park Tenants in Texas
I'm staying on a RV park in texas. I stayed here 6 mo last year the rent was $280.00 plus electric. I came back this year to stay and the owners raised the rent to $570.00 electric included. I stayed 1 mo. and now moving to a more reasonable park. But talking to other tennants I found out that they were paying the same as last year. Last year my elec was about $130.00 per month. I can only guess the landlord is charging me for electricty I'm not using is that legal?

Help! Cannot remove Windows password because of HP ProtectToo
[ Edited ]
08-20-2012 12:19 PM - edited 08-20-2012 12:23 PM
Hello there. I'm new to this so I have no idea where I should be posting this, but...
Anyhow. I am trying to remove my Windows password from the User Accounts setting in the control Panel (I use Windows 7) and it won't let me remove it. An error message pops up saying "Windows cannot remove the password. Password and/or account policies require the account to have a password." and I believe HP ProtectTools is causing this problem since I registered my password using that program.
I have also tried removing credentials in HP ProtectTools, but it forces me to have at least one active. I also tried removing the program completely, but other programs depend on it (A lot of them actually) so removing it is out of the question.
My account is the only account on my computer and obviously is an administrator. Can anyone help me remove the password from HP ProtectTools so that I can remove it from Windows completely and therefore, don't have to type in a password when Windows starts up?
Thank you in advance.
Re: Help! Cannot remove Windows password because of HP ProtectToo
You can use windows password reset disk to remove windows password, if you don't have it, you can create it with some windows password password recovery softwares, such as Smartkey Windows Password Recovery.
Hope it helps you.
Re: Help! Cannot remove Windows password because of HP ProtectToo
Create another account with administrator priviledge and that should take care of it. After creating the other admin account, log into it and change the previous admin(with the password) to a standard account. The rest is up to you. Let me know if this helps
Re: Help! Cannot remove Windows password because of HP ProtectToo
Hi, I'm having the same problem. When I bought my HP Touchscreen, I let someone use it for a week. They set it up and installed Windows 7, then gave it back to me. It sat in my closet for 5 years and nobody touched it till I took it out and tried to log on but they have thier log on name and I don't know the password. They also took my CD setup so I am stuck.
How do I get past the user logon screen and remove their name and replace it with one I want to setup?
I tried F11 at start up but I don't see where to change it. I see change supervisor password screen under advanced (I changed it) and I changed the user password as well but it does not change logon password. Did I do something wrong?

I understand that you are cannot access the system due to not knowing the password.
Review this document and try the steps that are applicable to your scenario. One recommendation in the document is to use password recovery tools that are found online.
If you do a full system recovery from F11 (Vista and up), then that should give it a fresh installation of Windows eliminating the password issue. However, the recovery partition usually doesn't work after the operating system is changed which it sounds like Windows 7 wasn't the original operating system.
Re: Help! Cannot remove Windows password because of HP ProtectToo
Hey Cloud_Strider! Thanks for getting back with me so quick. I am truly stuck here. I can not gain Internet access to even get help from Geeksquad, which I paid $199 a year for and HP wants $60 a year to even answer my questions since my PC is out of warranty, shesh!
To answer your question. Windows 7 was the only OS even installed. It was installed (when I bought the HP Touchsmart new in 2009) and used for one month then the system sat for 4-5 years unused at all till today. I broke it out of the original box and I boot it up, windows opens and there is the problem. Can not remove the user set up.
How do I a full system recovery? F11 does not even offer that option.
Re: Help! Cannot remove Windows password because of HP ProtectToo
What is the product number?
NOTE: Do NOT provide the serial number.
If the recovery does not work, there may be other options but I will need the product number to verify that.
This document details the various methods of performing a system recovery. This is generally done by powering the system on and tapping the F11 key about once a second.

According to the specifications, this unit came with Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit out of the box. This is going to limit alternative options if there are any.
If you are in the U.S. or Canada, you can try ordering the official recovery disks from HP on this site. I cannot guarantee they are available, but they may be. If the recovery partition works, then there wouldn't be a real need to order them. Though, I do recommend ordering the disks as they may not be available at some point if not already there.
These steps should provide the steps needed for your system.
The best option if you want to keep Windows 7 (unless you have the installation disk and product key) may be the password recovery mentioned in the password document I linked to earlier. I cannot recommend one tool over the other nor mention how to use them.
Let me know what happens with the recovery.
Re: Help! Cannot remove Windows password because of HP ProtectToo
The recovery disc's are not availble any longer.
Since I do not have the installation disk and product key either. Looks like it's the recovery method. I'm trying this next. Hope it works. Problem is, when I try to locate something that says that when I select F11, I don't see where I'm able to do that. Can you possibly give a step by step?
Thanks for your help!

Joshua James: Building The Drama
Following his critically acclaimed debut album, The Sun Is Always Brighter, Joshua James has released a new batch of intriguing folk-rock tunes. Though the 25-year-old singer-songwriter has been writing songs for only six years, his music exudes wisdom: The 13 tracks on Build Me This expertly weave together themes of spirituality, love and music. In a session from WXPN, he performs sparse, moody, atmospheric rock that draws out the drama.
Set List
- "Doctor"
- "Black July"
- "Coal War"
But there's more to be said about the album's progression into electrified hard-rock territory. James has clearly expanded his style to include elements of world music and Southern rock. Between the fusion of folk-rock styles and his intimate vocals, James is frequently compared to the likes of Bob Dylan and Neil Young.

Stretch Panic - PlayStation 2

A Gaming Etude
July 13 2004
This review is from:
Stretch Panic - PlayStation 2 (Video Game)
For those of you not familiar with the word etude, it is a French word which, in America, usually refers to a musical study, or a piece built around a single theme or pattern. I have played two other games by Treasure: Mischief Makers (which was made with the assistance of Enix) and Gunstar Heroes. Gunstar heroes (for the Sega Genisis) and Stretch Panic are both video game etudes: studies into a theme, but nothing more.
Gunstar Heroes, for those of you unfamiliar with the title, took perhaps two hours or less to COMPLETE. That isn't just rush through without getting everything, after two hours, there isn't much left to do. Stretch Panic is simalar, except slightly longer. In Stretch Panic, you are given a small story line about a girl and her three vain sisters. Then you are given a possessed scarf and placed in the Museum of Agony, a small area from which you go to the game's 16 areas. Four of these areas are known as Ex levels, and in those levels you aquire points which you use to open doors and launch your one special attack.
There is only one unique enemy in this game, and she is probably the reason the game is teen rated. The enemy is a woman who wished to have a bigger chest area, and from that wish, she grew breasts which are probably twice as large as the lady possessing them.
The main parts of this game are the boss battles, of which there are twelve. Each battle is fun and unique, yet usually fairly easy once you figure out how to go about fighting it.
While the battles are fun, and the action great, by the end of the game, you'll be hungry for more. After defeating and freeing the last sister, you'll get a lowsy ending which only increases any irritation toward the game's length. This game could have been fun if it lasted longer, but it did something very important for the future of platform games. Unlike many of the games out there today, Stretch Panic introduces a new concept into the gaming world: the idea of stretchability. While this game is short, perhaps another developer (Insomniac or Naughty Dog, perhaps?) can take the stretch concept and use it in their own games. I'm hoping that Treasure will take their stretch engine and sell it somewhere, so that all the unrealized potential this game had (puzzles, perhaps?) can be realized.
Xenosaga - PlayStation 2

This is absolutely the best game (will be best series) ever
Sept. 27 2003
This review is from:
Xenosaga - PlayStation 2 (Video Game)
This game should be put in a museum because it is, in every sense of the word, art. It has a story which rivals any movie I have EVER watched. It has a system which takes the best elements from the Final Fantasy series, adds some new ideas, and combines them in a way that will keep you playing after you watch the ending. These are only a few of the things that make this game great.
This game begins in modern times with the discovery of a mysterious artifact, the Zohar, which will be one of the main objects that the entire series focuses upon. The scene quickly changes to about the middle of the fifth millennium (although the game says 4000 years later, it appears to take place in 4500 or so). The main character, Shion Uzuki, is working on creating the robot KOS-MOS on board the Galactic Federation's starship, the Woglinde. From there, the two heroines join up with four other friends, all of them coincidently attempting to reach the planet of Second Miltia (which is reached within the game... during the ending movie). Thus begins Xenosaga's epic story line.
This game explores many, many themes, such as the humanity of something who isn't human, and uses many religious messages, both vague and not so vague, to enrich the plot. Through LONG cut scenes, many of which are 20-30 minutes long, alliances are revealed, both between heroes and villains, and great space battles are waged. If you don't care about a game's story, you can skip all the cut scenes, cutting at least five hours out of the game and removing most of the game's dialog. I suppose if you are skipping it, you don't really care what's going on, but if you do, you will not see much of ANY story in the game. Sitting through the cut scenes is never annoying, and often will make you forget that you are playing a game. The story alone is good enough to convince you that you are playing a movie.
I wasn't expecting much from the music. Although produced by the London Philharmonic Orchestra (I don't have the box in front of me, so spelling and name may be off), the music is highly repetitive and not as exciting as what Final Fantasy fans are used to.
For those of you still reading, the battles can and will often last five to ten minutes (yes, non-boss battles), and will challenge even people who have played many RPGs. Although most battles are avoidable, you will want to level up your characters often for the later battles. There are two main types of attacks: ether (magical) and physical, and within those more types, such as elemental type, distance, and hit type. Certain attacks are better against some enemies, so if you have the wrong characters for a situation... too bad. You can't switch characters during battle, so have fun.
What else can I say. This game tops Kingdom Hearts, which I previously called the best game ever. It's also now about thirty dollars, so if you like RPGs, it's a good deal for a great game.

Bruce Campbell vs. Army Of Darkness: The Director's Cut - Official Bootleg Edition (Widescreen) [Import] (DVD)
This is one of the greatest comedy/horror movies ever, taking the bizzareness of Bruce Campbell and some... "interesting" special effects scenes and combining them to make a movie which can only be called "wierd, but in a good way."
Unfortunately I didn't buy the right DVD of this great movie. This version may contain the original ending, but it left out the other, alternate ending, which in my mind was about as funny as the original ending. It didn't seem to have many special features, which I do remember the version I rented having (although I had things to do, so I didn't get to watch them). If you want to get this movie, I don't think this would be the version you want.

The best romantic comedy ever
July 15 2003
This review is from:
Nine Months (Widescreen) [Import] (DVD)
I have watched a good number of romantic comedies, and have noticed that they often have a great plot, and entertain with their hilarious antics throughout. This is the same, except its extreme hilarity is balanced perfectly with plot to create a thoroughly entertaining comedy experience.
I'm sure somebody has gone through the whole description of this movie in great detail, so I won't do it again. If you have seen other Hugh Grant movies, you know how his comedy works: his sassy come backs and comments come at full force through out the movie, and blend excelently with Robin Williams' accent, (he plays a newly immigrated Russian), mistakes in word choice, and physical humor. Add that to Tom Arnold's role as a man who is a complete jerk on the surface, but really full of heart, and Jeff Goldblum, who flings his funny comments in without skipping a beat, and you have a comedic team which will keep you in stitches from start to finish.
I think this is one of those movies great to watch curled up on the couch on a Sunday afternoon, or just as an evening treat, but whenever you watch it, it is a movie not to be missed.

Wonderful, only a few minor flaws
June 13 2003
Creatures 3 is beautiful! The creatures now talk to each other instead of just talking to you or themselves (I never played Creatures 2, so I don't know how good it was in terms of things I will mention here), the creatures have an enormous vocabulary, and the machines make the game more realistic because it eliminates the need for butons that do everything. Also the environment with the multitude of critters which mate and interact with the creatures and each other adds another dimention to gameplay.
However there are a few elements I found troublesome. There is an upgrade available in the game for the hand that lets you pick up the creatures, and with the help of another upgrade grendels and ettins. This means that you have total control over mating and the lives and deaths of the grendels. If you want, you can stick the grendels in with the paranhas or in the recycler and get rid of them, which makes them increadibly pointless, except for the gene splicer (which I have not yet tried).
Overall, just get the game if you like games like this. It is true to life, and absolutely wonderful. The amazing graphics and sound effects add so much to the game, and you will be amazed at the way your creatures act, perhaps even feeling somewhat upset when a grendel kills one of the norns. This game will last me years as I do the multitude of possible things Mindscape has made possible.

Squaresoft has done it again (or is it Square Enix now?)
June 13 2003
This review is from:
Final Fantasy Origins Final Fantasy I & II Remastered Editions - PlayStation (Video Game)
Final Fantasy Origins contains the first two Final Fantasy games on one disk. Although graphics have been updated significantly, they still retain their old look, so unless you don't mind bad graphics, you might want to leave this page now. If the bad graphics don't bother you, then this compilation is a great addition to your collection, since, if you have bought every Final Fantasy game released for PS2 and PS1, you will have all but three, which tells us what will be next in all likelyhood. Anyway, in addition to improved graphics, there are also new features, such as an ingame monster guide, updated with every battle, an item guide, updated with every found item, and an art gallery, updated when you get a certain amount of monsters and/or items. I have completed Final Fantasy I and am working on Final Fantasy II off and on, and find them both fun. Although Final Fantasy I doesn't have much of a system, just EXP and purchaseable spells, it is somehow addictive, and Final Fantasy II is interesting due to its plot and system similar to that in Chrono Cross. While the games aren't the best in the series, not even close in fact, Square has dusted them off and improved them so that they are the best they can be, while still fitting on one disc, of course. Also the release price was wonderfully reasonable, $...P>I think if you had [the money] and wanted to buy a game, go for Final Fantasy VIII or other greatest hit Final Fantasy titles, but if you have those, and want to see where everything started, get Final Fantasy Origins, it's worth the money.
An additional note: if I remember correctly Final Fantasy was to be Squaresoft's last game. It was supposed to be a goodbye present to the company's few fans. Squaresoft was going bankrupt, or something like that at the time, so they decided to put everything into Final Fantasy. On the days following its release, it sold so well that the dying company came back to life, continuing to make Final Fantasy sequals, along with other RPGs, always keeping that which revived them alive, with the title that was supposed to tell which of their games it was, the last (it has been a while since I heard that story, so some facts may be off, but if you are interested, you can always look online for the story)

Where is the series element?
June 13 2003
This review is from:
Chrono Cross - PlayStation (Video Game)
Chrono Cross WOULD have been a great game, it had a unique system, it was hard, it had a good plot, it had many side quests. For any one who played Chrono Trigger however, this game does the idea of a sequal little justice.
Chrono Cross picks up 10 years after Chrono Trigger ends, at a series of islands too small to use in Chrono Trigger (but I have heard they are there). It has innumerable playable characters, which makes the game interesting, but has many issues which Squaresoft should have seen.
First of all, with the multitude of playable characters, you lose plot. Some of the characters of the story fit into it in many ways, these are the main characters such as Serge and Kid. However there are many characters who just appear. Starky, Van, and others have no point in the story, only a side quest which sticks to the story like an old, wet bandage.
Also, with that many characters, they couldn't give them many techs, so therefore another of Squaresoft's great innovations from Chrono Trigger was lost. Some history: in Chrono Trigger you have abilities called techs. You learn these as you gain AP (gained like EXP, only slower). Monsters, who moved about on the screen, would be targeted by techs in different ways. Some techs would only hit one monster, some would hit monsters in a certain radius from the character, or from the target monster, and some would hit all monsters. Since the monsters were constantly moving, this made placement of the characters and monsters essential to how techs were cast. Also each character had three double techs with each other character, and each combination of characters which included the main character had a triple tech. Not so in Chrono Cross. I believe there were about 12 to 20 double and triple techs, and three techs per character (there were about 10 or more in Chrono Trigger). This meant that you would have to go through the game more than once possibly to discover who had them. Sometimes these characters couldn't even be gotten together in one game, so you may have to go through three times to find a certain move. Also with all the side quests to get many of the items, I recomend the strategy guide for this game also.
The game's plot also had some gaps. There are certain places where you are expected to do something, but either don't know which world to do it in, or can't find where to do it. Sometimes you will have a suggested opportunity to get new characters which you won't know about because it never suggests exploring certain places. There is one point where it is essential to find characters, but it doesn't tell you they are available. Another annoying plot point is that any character will suddenly join the party with the knowledge of every event that has occured in the story, there is no explaination scene, a fact which annoys me when a new character in the group starts talking in detail about an event which happened before they joined the group.
The game is fun, and the new game +, one of the few elements which was kept over from Chrono Trigger, allows for great replayability. All in all though, I was dissapointed. I expected a sequal true to the original's good points, something not delivered upon to my dismay.

FINAL FANTASY� ORIGINS Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)
I bought this strategy guide with the game(s), and have used it to help me in it/them many times. It has monster data, maps, seperate info on how to deal with the level's beastiary, and details on how to go through the levels.
However I must complain that it does something that most Brady Games strategy guides don't do, and that is show final battle pictures. Although it isn't much, this trend which began in the Kingdom Hearts strategy guide is annoying when, especially in a Squaresoft game which has great final battles, you are turning to the back to look at side quests and the beastiary, and you see the villain, something which sort of takes the climax out of the moment. I just know FFIX's final battle would have been much less surprising if I had seen the villain before fighting him.
So yes this is a good guide, and I know I've complained about the smallest little thing for the longest time, but it is something I don't want to see, or know about. It's like showing the last scenes of the movie in a review of it. Anyway, the guide will tell you anything you want to know about the game, which is what you want it for, right?

The best game of the genre

This review is from:
Harvest Moon: Back To Nature - PlayStation (Video Game)
This game caps Natsume's work on the Harvest Moon series. With its beautiful graphics and many engaging activities, Harvest Moon: Back to Nature will give you your money's worth of a purchase.
The basic premise is: you have returned to your grandfather's farm, which you visited as a child, to return it to its former glory. You are the sole owner, and worker, of the farm, and therefore everyone is watching you to see how well you do. The mayor and the town that the farm is in tell you that if you don't restore the town AND get the villagers to like you after 2 years, then you must leave.
I have never even gotten to the first fall, the days last about 10 to 15 minutes a piece, and when you are in a building, time is stopped. In order to restore the farm, you must grow crops, which are different for every season, and sell them to make a profit. Also you can buy chickens, cows, and sheep which you can get eggs, milk, and wool from. When you gain the capability later on, you can turn the animal products into mayonaise, butter (I think I remember that right), and yarn. The villagers will sometimes ask you to do odd jobs for them, which will allow you to get even more money, and with the addition of a mine, harvestable plants beyond the farm, and elves to take care of your farm on days you aren't around, the possible ways you can play the game are endless.
Keep in mind that this game has no fighting, so if that is all you want from a game, try something else, this won't be your thing. For people who want something completely different, this may just be the game for you.

A good game, but terrible replay value
June 13 2003
I enjoy playing the Myst games once through, they are fun and challenging. However my computer would not allow me to hit a certain switch for some reason, and I was therefore never able to get to the location on the cover. Even if I had, I would never play the game again, I would know how to do everything, and therefore, what would be the point? At least it is better then Myst in which you can win within about 15 minutes of starting the game, but still... Any 60 dollar game (as it was when it was released) should last longer than this. With the detail put in, the game itself is rather short, with puzzle solving accounting for much of your time. Also some puzzles can be so frustrating when you know what to do, but can't (the stopping the scopes thing, the puzzle at the top of the dome on the first island). I thought it was a beautiful game, but I wouldn't get it unless it is below 20 dollars, otherwise I don't really think it's worth it.

The Cleveland Indians' June 4th, 1974 Ten-Cent Beer Night promotion was a smashing success—if you're strictly speaking about its ability to fill Cleveland Stadium. Everything else about the night lives in infamy.
The week before, the Tribe had taken on the Texas Rangers at Arlington Stadium during the Rangers' Ten-Cent Beer Night, and a bench-clearing brawl in the bottom of the eighth caused Rangers fans to launch beer and food at the Tribe. When Rangers' manager Billy Martin was questioned about going to Cleveland the following week and facing retribution, he remarked, Cleveland didn't have "enough fans there to worry about" it. Mr. Martin had a rude awakening when he was greeted by more than 25,000 fans who were in the middle of consuming over 60,000 Genesee beers.Early in the game Leron Lee drilled Rangers pitcher Ferguson Jenkins in the stomach with a line drive, igniting the tanked crowd who cheered, "Hit him again! Hit him again! Harder!" With the Rangers up 5-1, the crowd was unrelenting and by the ninth inning—after the Tribe had tied the game at 5-5—a full-blown riot erupted. Fans stormed the field, pulled up the bases and threw everything from batteries to cherry bombs at the Rangers. In an act of MLB solidarity, the Indians team grabbed bats to protect the Rangers while the Cleveland Police Department called in the riot squad.
Oh say can you see the future? Legendary Founding Father John Adams apparently could when he wrote to wifey Abigail, proclaiming America's Independence would be celebrated with, "illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more."
In the July 3rd, 1776 letter he imagined, "succeeding Generations" commemorating "the great anniversary Festival…with Pomp and Parade." Nailed it. All except for one little detail: the date. Johnny pictured it all going down on July 2nd. Minor detail. Go forth and celebrate America's bday with this illumination of a Tee. Pay homage.
For 52 agonizing years, The Land has endured episodes of heartbreak and coming up short while waiting for the elusive celebration of a major championship. That wait is officially over. Pay homage to the Cavs' historic Game 7 finish that gave us a new "The" to overshadow all others: The Ring.
It's time to forget...The Drive: Jan. 11, 1987, fourth quarter of the AFC Championship, 5:32 left on the clock. With the Browns leading 20-13, the Denver Broncos charge 98 yards to the end zone, taking the game to overtime, and, well you know the rest. The Fumble: Jan. 17, 1988, the AFC Championship Game rematch between the Browns and Broncos, another unthinkable horror: A Cleveland fumble on the Broncos' 1-yard line with 1:12 to go and the game-winning touchdown within reach.The Shot: May 7, 1989, Bulls vs. Cavs, Eastern Conference First Round, 3 seconds left in the deciding Game 5, Cavs up 100-99. Chicago inbounds the ball to a double-teamed Michael Jordan, a second left, and...the shot is good. The Move: The Cleveland Browns become the Baltimore Ravens. Art Modell is no longer welcome in The Land.The Blown Save: Oct. 26, 1997, Game 7 of the World Series, Cleveland Indians facing Florida Marlins. With the Tribe leading 2-1 going into the bottom of the ninth, all closer José Mesa needed to do was, well, close. Again, you know the outcome.But now, there is THE RING. Pay homage.
Cincinnati, here we go. The birthplace of pro baseball didn't take long to become a soccer town—which makes sense when your team is one of the top teams in the USL East.
Not even a year old, FC Cincinnati has been packing Nippert Stadium and dominating the pitch with an average of 16,000 fans rooting on the team to a season-opening 10-2-4 record. Suit up and show your pride in the newest sporting tradition following in the Queen City's rich history. You down with FCC, yeah you know me!
No women's team in Olympic history has done it: winning the gold medal the year after taking the World Cup. But the US Women's National Team is set to change that.
Since 2014, the USWNT has been the team that captured not only America's attention but the world's. The team's unprecedented two-year tear includes winning the CONCACAF Gold Cup, Algarve Cup, and World Cup, the latter becoming the third for the team, making the U.S. the winningest nation in Women's World Cup history. And now, as the heavy favorites for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, the team is ready to deliver their next record-breaking performance. Gear up for a historical finish with a perfectly summer feminine favorite.
While the chant's origins are debated—did it stem from fans of the Naval Academy? Utah State? San Diego State?—over the past few years "I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN" has become nearly as ubiquitous a soccer cheer as "Seven Nation Army."
Rep your American pride this summer while declaring your belief that the U.S. Women's National Team will win their fifth gold medal in six attempts, and sixth medal overall!
It might be easy to sum up more than 50 years without a championship as The Curse. But easy ain't the way of The Land. Hard times. Harder work. 'Cause in Cleveland nothing is taken for granted, and, with history up for the taking, the Cavaliers seized what had been a long time coming.
Because you've been there through the thick and thin—and, man, did things get thin under Ted Stepien. But you've known that, since the Miracle of Richfield and all those playoff runs under the Gunds, league glory was written in the stars. Here's to believing, to being witness to the hardware, and to the celebrations of today silencing the perpetual talk of next year. Pay homage.
Before the kid from Akron began setting the hardwood ablaze for Cleveland, the greatest Cavaliers era had been under the ownership of Mr. Gordon Gund.
Coming off some of the franchise's most disappointing years, Gund purchased the team from Ted Stepien in 1983 and executed a complete overhaul. After the removal of the team's swashbuckling swordsman in favor of a more modern Cavs logo, and more than nine coaches later, the Cavs came together to make the playoffs in 10 of 15 seasons. The run included a trip to the conference finals in 1992 for the first time in more than 15 seasons. Pay homage.
In Cleveland, there are no handouts—only hard work. Because in Wine and Gold Country, it's well known, that to make it, you show up early, and don't dream of leaving until everything you have is already left on the floor.
And when we talk leaving, we know it's only to come back and begin again. Because records don't come easy. Glory isn't given. It's EARNED. Look no further than the hardwood and your team. Suit up in this feminine favorite and celebrate the 'ship.
Presenting THE tee responsible for the ultimate trolling in NBA history: Get all in on LeBron James' choice response to the Golden State Warriors following the Cleveland Cavaliers' 2016 championship-winning comeback. Kermit hat not included.
Big hair, bigger muscles, and the biggest moves. With his signature neon arm tassels, face paint, and unforgettable histrionics, the Ultimate Warrior established himself as wrestling's ultimate draw in an era stuffed with superstars. After whetting his title appetite in 1988 with the Intercontinental Champion crown, the man from Parts Unknown used every ounce of his 6'2" 280-pounds to pin Hulk Hogan in the main event of WrestleMania VI to become the first simultaneous Intercontinental Champion and Heavyweight Champion. Pay homage to the ringmaster who delivered dismantling atomic drops, gorilla press slams, suplexes and his signature Big Splash finisher to the "Ravishing" Rick Rude, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, and the Undertaker among countless others.
Austin Carr. Mark Price. LeBron James. Before those men became regulars on the highlight reel, there was Nick Mileti, the man responsible for the Wine and Gold tradition.
Often forgotten when it comes to Cleveland sports is Nick Mileti, a lawyer by trade who responded to The Land's yearning for professional sports by first acquiring the Cleveland Barons hockey team before landing an NBA expansion team for Cleveland to the tune of $3.7 million of his own personal money. Following a city-wide "Name the Team" competition sponsored by local newspaper the Plain Dealer, and the recruitment of head coach Bill Fitch, the Cavaliers tipped off in 1970. Pay homage.
It didn't matter if they hid in the shadows or stood in plain sight, the trench coat-donning Deadman was coming for them, armed with five little words: You will rest in peace.
From the onset, the Undertaker eyed toppling wrestling's ranks. Hulk Hogan to Triple H, the wrath of the crypt keeper sealed destinies, zipped body bags, and led to eight world championships. But still nothing compares to the Undertaker's streak: 21 straight wins at WWE's The Show of Shows. It's a feat you can utter but not fully comprehend, just like the legendary wrestler himself.
Just before the turn of the 19th century, surveyors of the Connecticut Land company laid out the state's Western Reserve into townships, with a capital city named after its leader, General Moses Cleaveland. Today, with the Browns, the Cavs, and the Indians; the Flats, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the West Side Market; The Plain Dealer, Key Tower, and NASA's Glenn Research Center, AND NOW, THE LARRY O'BRIEN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY—Cleveland is the city.
The call of the Cleveland Cavaliers goes far beyond the backyard of The Land. It's a coast-to-coast, Wine-and-Gold commotion that incites unwavering allegiance for the, "group of daring, fearless men whose life's pact was never surrender, no matter what the odds." No. Matter. What. The. Odds. It's time to band together and suit up in honor of the sword.
Had you asked us in December, we may have been a bit skeptical of a fourth Stanley Cup for the Pittsburgh Penguins. But in the City of Champions, the Black and Gold know how to find another gear when needed, and with the Pens' 2016 Stanley Cup win over the San Jose Sharks, they are now tied for the most Cup wins since 1991. Pay homage to another championship in a city chock-full of them.
All you need is love—and those ready to champion it. This Pride Month, we celebrate the LGBT community's impassioned pursuit to ensure all have the opportunity to experience the entirety of love's gifts and joys.
Long before the Stonewall Inn riots of 1969 through today, the LGBT community's commitment to equal rights have demonstrated time and again that love wins. This proved no more apparent than on June 26, 2015 when the Supreme Court's landmark ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. Here's to living and loving openly and authentically!
A portion of proceeds benefit the Equality Ohio Education Fund, a nonprofit promoting fair treatment and equal opportunity for all Ohioans regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
With NBA legends like Jason Kidd, Paul Pierce and Bill Russell hailing from the Oakland area, how could The City not be the stomping ground for some of basketball's greatest action?
And with a team like the Warriors—one that knows a little something about winning championships—it's no wonder Oakland's arena is always packed. Suit up and rep the The City where the common refrain to the latest flashes of gold has become something to the tune of, "Nah, no way—how'd he just make that?"
The 1992 Eastern Conference Semifinals: The end of an era and one of the greatest series comebacks in Cavaliers' history.
With banner performances by trifecta Brad Daugherty, Mark Price and Larry Nance, the Cavs put up a till-then franchise-tying regular season record of 57-25. And after taking out the New Jersey Nets in four, they met the resistance of Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics in the conference semis. Down 2-1 to the Celtics and facing them in Boston, the Cavs pulled the series even before taking it in the seventh game and last of Larry Bird's career. Pay homage.
In Cleveland, there are no handouts—only hard work. Because in Wine and Gold Country, it's well known, that to make it, you show up early, and don't dream of leaving until everything you have is already left on the floor. And when we talk leaving, we know it's only to come back and begin again. Because records don't come easy. Glory isn't given. It's EARNED. Which is no more evident than on the hardwood. Suit up and celebrate the 'ship.
In the words of Chicago Bulls guard Ron Harper, "Don't mean a thing without the ring"—the reference, of course, being the team's 1995-1996 historic 72-10 regular season, the first to break the threshold of 70 wins.
Featuring some of the game's greatest players, including the return of the greatest, the 1995-1996 Chicago Bulls steamrolled the league and returned to the playoffs for the 12th straight season. After dropping just a single playoff game en route to the NBA Finals, Chicago capped the legendary season by taking the title over the Seattle SuperSonics. It marked their fourth of six NBA Championships in the 90s and cemented their status as a dynasty. Pay homage.
From the original wine and gold to the years of burnt orange, Cavs colors may have changed but the tenacity and resilience Cleveland is known for sure hasn't. Whether you're at the game, around town or halfway across the globe, rep your Cleveland Cavaliers pride with a super-soft throwback especially designed for diehards who always believed—and knew—hardware would come home to Northeast Ohio.

The Cleveland Cavaliers' sixth season proved to be one full of firsts. After years spent building a robust roster, the 1975-76 Cavaliers posted the franchise's first winning season and netted a trip to the playoffs, another first.
And, as you know, the magical run turned miraculous in game seven of the Conference Semifinals, when, all tied in the final seconds, the Cavaliers landed the deciding layup to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. The season became the first in back-to-back-to-back playoff runs that captivated Cleveland, which couldn't have come at a better time, as the Browns and Indians were suffering post-season droughts. Pay homage.
From the original wine and gold to the years of burnt orange, Cavs colors may have changed but the tenacity and resilience Cleveland is known for sure hasn't. Whether you're at the game, around town or halfway across the globe, rep your Cleveland Cavaliers pride in a feminine favorite especially designed for diehards who always believed—and knew—hardware would come home to Northeast Ohio.
There'll never be another No. 14—and the Reds are making sure of it by retiring Pete "Charlie Hustle" Rose's number and inducting him into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame.
The Cincy hometown hero and legendary Reds player and manager, Rose, dominated the diamond with 4,256 career hits, leading to 17 All-Star appearances and 3 World Series titles. Never one to be out-hustled, the Hit King led his team to back-to-back titles in 1975-76 as one of the pillars of Cincy's Big Red Machine. And while his off-the-field exploits entangled him in controversy, nothing compares to the routine lights-out spectacles he delivered game after game (3,562 of them to be precise). Pay homage.
Sure, Pete Rose may forever be mired in controversy, but two things you can't deny about the Cincinnati Red was his determination to outwork anyone and tunnel vision for his team.
The combo made the man nicknamed "Charlie Hustle" a 17-time All-Star, three-time World Series winner and the player with not only the most career games but most career game wins. Whether it was sprinting to first following a walk or his agility to switch from outfielder to third base, the Reds hometowner demonstrated to Cincinnati what it meant to hustle and instilled the virtue citywide. Spread the message wherever you go in this feminine summer staple.
Coming off some of the franchise's most disappointing years, Gund purchased the team from Ted Stepien in 1983 and executed a complete overhaul. After the removal of the team's swashbuckling swordsman in favor of a more modern Cavs logo, and more than nine coaches later, the Cavs came together to make the playoffs in 10 of 15 seasons. The run included a trip to the conference finals in 1992 for the first time in more than 15 seasons. Sport your team in this summer-ready staple.
One of the most storied seasons in Buckeye history, 1942 marked the first football national championship for Ohio State. Led by head coach and the godfather of Ohio football, Paul Brown, the legendary squad counted five All-Americans in the ranks and secured a near-perfect season record. Warm up your throat for the Buckeye Battle Cry, and pay homage to the early glory days with this super-soft feminine staple, featuring the original 1942 script.
We all can visualize it. Kerri Strug's epic final vault pass in the 1996 Summer Olympics. That iconic one-footed landing—looking closer to a Kung Fu crane stance than anything in gymnastics. The flawless performance stands as arguably the bravest in Team USA history.
Last to go for Team USA in the final rotation during women's gymnastics, Kerri Strug was left to lock up gold for the U.S. over perennial powerhouse Russia. Not only did she miss the landing in her initial vault pass and consequently fail to secure gold, Kerri sustained a seriously injured ankle. In disbelief after hearing she would have to take another pass, Strug summoned all her will, limped back for a second attempt, and against all odds nailed the landing. The Magnificent Seven stood immortalized with gold. Pay homage.

Add to the mix the flattering cut, mid-rise fit and a pocket on the left for when you get tired of wearing your future medal, and these are ready to leave the competition in the dust. USA all the way!
Growing up, we knew him as The Man With the Golden Shoes, the only Olympian to win the 200m and the 400m during the same Olympics, the guy we imagined ourselves every track and field day in gym, the one we forever think of as the fastest man on the planet: 4-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Johnson.
Having suffered a stress fracture leading up to the 1988 Olympics in Seoul and then a bout of food poisoning during the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, Johnson was coming into the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta with enormous pressure to show the world what his supreme speed could pull off. And, man, did he deliver, scoring two of the most competitive sprinting golds, the 200m and 400m, and setting Olympic and world records in the process. Pay homage.
The 1988 Olympics in Seoul were all about one woman: Flo-Jo, who sprinted into our hearts and along the way earned the title of Fastest Woman of All Time.
A runner from the age of seven, the beloved USA track and field phenom Florence Griffith Joyner almost never made it to the Olympic finish line, quitting the sport at age 19 in order to provide for her family. But with the help of UCLA track coach Bob Kersee, Joyner returned. Flash forward 10 years, and Flo-Jo left the competition in the dust, laid waste to the history books and set still-untouched records in the 100 meter and 200 meter events en route to being crowned a three-time Olympic gold medalist. Pay homage.
As classic as the TV dinner, John Wayne on a horse, and a drive-in during summer, these mid-calf striped athletic socks will take you back to the days of dodge ball during gym, only these puppies are infinitely softer and feature a slightly heavier weight than the holey tube socks you rocked back then. Who says you can't make a classic better?
Looking for a little extra Red, White and Blue? Don't sweat it! Whether you're watching Team USA take the 2016 Olympics by storm or out there adding to the highlight reel, there's no better way to show you're part of the action than this handy headband. USA! USA! USA!

You've earned your stripes, now rock 'em. Whether you're at the game or out on the town, traveling or kicking back, every occasion is the perfect occasion to show off your varsity status with our super-soft v-neck, featuring contrast sleeves and all the comfort you could dream up.
A cinematic underdog more resonant than Rocky Balboa? We don't think we could handle it—much less dream one up. The fictional odyssey of the southpaw Italian Stallion played by Sylvester Stallone transcends generations and heralds a hero we never tire of re-watching.
From breaking legs while collecting debts in the rough Philadelphia neighborhood of Kensington to becoming an international force responsible for melting Cold War tensions, nothing is out of the question for Rocky Balboa, a man determined to "go the distance" and "prove somethin" all on his own terms.With enough sentimentality and inspirational one-liners to rival any self-help book, the seven-feature epic of "Rocky" has engrossed audiences for four decades. Why? Because who can resist the opening notes of that music, those iconic training montages and fully channeling the man whenever confronted with major life obstacles or just everyday annoyances? Pay homage.
A classic that never goes out of style!
Ohio comes from a Native American word meaning "great."
The wonderful world of Ohio provides pleasure wherever you seek it. Whether it be outdoor or indoor, the facilities are immediately at hand. Forest, fields, lakes, streams, and natural wonders abound. Amusement parks, racetracks, stadiums, sport arenas, theaters and music halls are plentiful. Ohioans can enjoy Ohio's many and varied attractions only by traveling and exploring it. Beautiful Ohio beckons to all.
20% of this tee's proceeds benefit A Kid Again, a nonprofit fostering hope, happiness and healing for families raising children with life-threatening illnesses.
'Cause you don't have to say things like, "Yeah, I hit the gym for five straight hours last night," or brag about CP ratings to show you come out on top in battles. As a natural trainer, you know it's all about your intuition and having faith in your Pokémon. Look at the fact that you haven't bought your Pokécoins, you've earned them. It's all candy wishes and stardust dreams when you rep the Zapados.
Because, quite frankly, you know what's up. United under Articuno, you bring a balanced, rational approach from hatching to battle. And time and time again the use of logic, wisdom and science leads to gym dominance over arch nemesis Team Valor. If nothing else, the power in numbers of the Mystic should tell everyone everything they need to know.
It comes down to a single message, three words long: Being your best. What other team could you pick to prove your training skills are at their peak? People say aggressive—you'd say dedicated. 'Cause the gym ain't a joke. Neither is Moltres. And, sure, it may have crossed your mind a time or two that Pokémon are mightier than humans—so what? Hatch, power up, battle.
The wanderlust got us good in Yosemite, and after exploring its vast majesty—as much of the 747,956 acres as we could—we understand every reason the California grand land motivated John Muir to campaign for a U.S. National Parks system.
Our recommendations: If you absolutely dig jaw-dropping vistas, stray a little from the standard of Yosemite Valley and make the trek to Mirror Lake, then jump in and become part of the beauty. When you're all pruney, take Tioga Road over the meadows and mountains, through the expansive groves of colossal sequoias, sure to stop at each waterfall. And we trust you wouldn't have missed El Capitan along the way. Tuckered out from all the touring? Head to one more lake, Siesta Lake, break out that HOMAGE fleece blanket, and catch some Z's. If you're one of the lucky few, you might even eye one of the park's rare black bears. Yosemite, so much to see.
From face-to-face encounters with one-ton bison to the reliable awe of Old Faithful, the 2,219,791 acres of America's first national park have yet to disappoint its four million annual visitors.
The insider scoop: If you're looking for the wild in wildlife, you gotta put the camp fire out early and hit the park by 6:00 am—6:30 at the latest. And for those four-legged fauna, it's all about the valleys—Lamar and Hayden to be specific. After the alien splendor of Grand Prismatic Spring, pop over to Roosevelt Lodge for the best chili west of the Mississippi. Then cruise the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, making sure to snap a selfie at Lookout Point for good measure. Because you can't miss Old Faithful, but can do without the typical tourist fare, grab a drink at the Old Faithful Inn, head out to the second floor viewing deck, and relax as you watch America's most legendary geyser show off. Working your way south, exit Yellowstone into the Grand Tetons and be bowled over by the beauty of yet another national park—but just remember, pardner, you gotta book your return trip before you leave the park's proximity.
With certainty we can say the sublime scenery of Glacier towers over any vistas we've encountered, especially gazing out from the banks of Iceberg Lake, some 6,000+ feet atop a trail littered with waterfall and flora features.
Before dishing the skinny on the more than a million lush acres of the "Crown of the Continent," first things first: Be sure to bring binoculars—and bear spray. Starting on the East, if you've already crossed the Iceberg Lake hike off your list, next up is the more strenuous Swiftcurrent Pass. When you finish stumbling across moose and mountain goats, and have checked out of Many Glacier Hotel, pile onto one of the famed Red Buses. On your way West across Going-to-the-Sun Road, don't pass up getting out at Logan Pass for vertigo-inducing views. And once West Side, Lake McDonald is where it's at. You can't go wrong in any direction, especially up. Just make sure to rent a boat and spend some quality time on the water. Finally, unless you saw one of the uber rare gray wolves, your Glacier exploits aren't over. Guess you'll be booking a return trip asap.
It ain't for the faint of heart, but if you can stand the heat, Death Valley holds some of the most outrageous panoramas and the finest details you can find, carved up special by the harshest of elements. From Furnace Creek to the Devil's Golf Course, there's no wrong way to explore so long as you have extra sunscreen on hand and ample H2O.
Alright, the real low down on the park with the lowest point in North America: Take the trails up Dante's Ridge to Mt. Perry. There, you'll get full views of the Badwater Basin, that lowest of lows at 282 feet below sea level, and on a clear day, you'll be treated to the highest peak in the contiguous US: Mount Whitney. Digging into a fat stack of fries for fuel and short on table salt? Go on down to the basin and score a refill from the deposits. Then grab a double feature from the artist formally known as nature with greatest hits Artist Palette and Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes. We wish we could stay and chat, but Badwater Road is calling. See ya out there!
Nearly 75 years after winning their first football national championship, the Ohio State Buckeyes captured their eighth in a historic underdog run for the record books. We dug through the archives and found the vintage 1942 script to remember the title that kicked the tally off. Pay homage to the school you love in this feminine classic racerback featuring the super-soft fabric you can't get enough of. We will fight to the end for O-HI-O!
Moses Cleaveland may have headed Connecticut Land Company's survey along the Western Reserve's southern shore of Lake Erie—you know, establishing the area that became his namesake—but it wasn't until 40 years later that Cleveland officially became a city on March 6, 1836.
Everything in The City's history changed when Dartmouth-educated East Coast ruler of wit, lawyer John W Willey, came to town in 1822. After becoming a legislative fixture, first in Ohio's House of Representatives then in the Ohio Senate, he solidified his standing in the northeast by drafting CLE's municipal charter—you know, the doc that inaugurated Cleveland as a city. Pay homage. 20% of proceeds benefit the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, a nonprofit that bridges the meal gap, providing more than 45 million nutritious meals last year alone.
Dig the main draw of the ring and got guns that need to be seen? Unleash your wings and pay homage to the Intercontinental Champion with a tank top every bit as flashy as the moves of the best there is...past, present and future. Oooooh yeah!

Wildlife conservation in Nigeria: Problems and strategies

This paper draws the attention to the major threats to nature conservation in Nigeria, and reviews critically the measures adopted for the protection of wildlife. The major problems include habitat degradation (through uncontrolled logging, agricultural projects, industrial plantations, highway and urban development, and exploitation for fuelwood), over-hunting and poaching
Steps taken so far to protect wildlife include the creation of one national park and eighteen game reserves, enactment of wildlife laws, signing of international treaties, and manpower development. These measures have however failed to produce the desired effect owing largely to public apathy, low level of funding, inadequate game laws and weak enforcement of existing legal provisions.
It is suggested that the Federal Government should intervene more positively in favour of conservation by creating more national parks and assuming joint responsibility with the states for formulating wildlife laws. Furthermore, the role of non-governmental organizations in influencing conservation policies and mobilizing public opinion will be crucial in the difficult years ahead.

I have a ubuntu server with transmission set up. I download most of my movies and series in .rar format. I have to unrar the movie and then look at it. Do anyone know about a movie player who can play .rar files? I know xbmc can, but xbmc is pretty resource heavy.
Vlc can do it. Just open first part and it will do the rest.
PS3 media server can also play rar'd files. It can browse rar files and play the contents within them without having to extract them.
Also you don't need a PS3 to stream with it. It will stream to many devices. I use it to stream to a Samsung AllShare TV. Even Banshee picks it up so you can watch the movies locally if you choose.
You can see the option here in this screenshot

text: New air service in Tupelo could be in place by August By Dennis Seid | April 14, 2014 Comments 2 | Likes 0 | Tags While Silver Airways has announced it is ending commercial air service in Tupelo (click here for previous coverage), officials with the Tupelo Regional Airport think a replacement carrier could be in place as early as August. By law, Silver must continue service until a replacement is found. The U.S. Department of Transportation will issue a RFQ (request for proposal) for airlines interested in providing the service. Of course, they'll get a federal subsidy, via the Essential Air Service program, to provide that service. That RFQ could be out in the next couple of weeks, then as the proposals are entered, the public can weigh in on the options. According to Tupelo Regional Airport executive director Josh Abramson, if everything falls in place, the winning carrier – assuming there is one – could be selected as early as June, with the new carrier perhaps operational by August. However, that depends on the airline that is selected, the number of planes in its fleet and the number if pilots it has. Abramson also said that getting a 50-seat regional jet, like the ones Delta Air Lines was using during the last few months it was here, and which it uses in Columbus, is not a likely option for Tupelo. The problem, he said, is there's not enough demand in Tupelo to fill a 50-seater, and even linking with Greenville or Muscle Shoals, as Delta and Silver have done, still won't provide the numbers an airline would need to maintain profitability. So who will bid for Tupelo's service? It's not known, but since Silver announced in February it was leaving the Cleveland market, the RFPs are due and the bidders there will be revealed soon. Abramson said taking a cue from the list of bidders there will provide some good possibilities. Meanwhile, Silver's flights will continue in and out of Tupelo until a replacement is found, Abramson reiterated. Also, updates to service, as available, will be put on the airport's website.
