WASHINGTON (AP) — Busted guitars, mangled cellos, broken banjos, lost lutes — musicians who rely on airlines to get them to performances have seen it all.
Two years ago, Congress stepped in to help, directing the Department of Transportation to write rules to make sure instruments don't get damaged or lost. The rules were due Friday, but the department hasn't even started writing them, citing a lack of money.
With a two-year term of office, members of Congress are never far from re-election mode.
The odd-numbered years are off-election years but not years with time off from politics or the incumbent's advantage of a record in Washington to tout.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx got a look at Main Street Memphis from Uptown to South Main Wednesday, Aug. 7, as the city prepares to use $15 million in federal grant funds to renovate it and add a pedestrian and bicycle boardwalk across the Mississippi River.
The city's bus system isn't out of the woods yet.
The Memphis Area Transit Authority's long drive through a wilderness of record ridership for the trolley system, years of operating funding cuts, withering criticism and millions of dollars in capital funding showed signs this week of continuing for some time.
WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama on Monday tapped rising Democratic politician Anthony Foxx to lead the Department of Transportation, an agency at the center of Washington's fiscal fights.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Access to college has been the driving force in federal higher education policy for decades. But the Obama administration is pushing a fundamental agenda shift that aggressively brings a new question into the debate: What are people getting for their money?

Then he decided perhaps he should write God a letter requesting the $100.00. When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God, they opened it up and decided to send it to the President. The President was so impressed, touched and amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a check for $5.00.
He thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy. The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 and sat down to write a thank you letter to God which ran as follows:
Dear God: Thank you very much for sending me the money. I noticed that you had to send it through Washington. As usual, those jokers deducted $95.00.

Pennsylvania: Special Hunting and Fishing Places to Protect
Join this group
Across Pennsylvania, fishing and hunting resources are at risk. In recent years, Pennsylvania has become the epicenter for Marcellus Shale energy development in the East, as companies flock to the gas-rich area to drill for gas more than a mile below the earth's surface. Trout Unlimited supports responsible energy development, as long as the right safeguards are in place and the development is occurring in the right places. Still, some places have such high resource value and are so special to anglers, that drilling should be limited or prohibited. Here you'll find examples of these special places, why they are at risk, and how they can be protected.

In this mini-project you will learn about musical intervals, and also discover the reason behind the choice of frequencies for the equal-tempered musical scale.
Spend some time familiarizing yourself with the piano keyboard below. Enter the pitch (letter) and its octave number to display the corresponding frequency. For example, middle C is C4, and C2 is two octaves below middle C. The frequency 440 Hz is an international standard frequency called concert A, and is denoted A4. Concert A is exactly 440 cycles per second, by definition.
The black keys are called sharps and are signified by the hash symbol #. For example, G#1 indicates the sharp of G1, and is located to the right of G1.
Download LabVIEW Source
Try the following exercises to make sure that you can properly interpret the keyboard:
Exercise 1
What is the frequency of the leftmost black key?
29.14 Hz
Exercise 2
What is the name and frequency of the white key to the immediate left of C7?
B6, 1976 Hz
Exercise 3
What is the name of the key that has a frequency of 370.0 Hz?

2004 Alfa Romeo 159 • 130,000 miles
What would cause a wobble when accellorating i also hear a sound like realy bad road noise. i have had 4 new tyers fitted & full wheel alignment done & has made no difference timing belt has been replaced at 125000.could it be somthing to do with front universal joints as this problem seems to be coming from the front area. it seems to shake the whole car but i am not feeling much vibration through the steering wheel .than you terry.

Didn't the alignment mechanic notice these issues on the final test drive? Besides the tires, you also must look for anything that will cause the wheels to wobble. That includes a bent wheel, debris stuck between the wheel and brake rotor, and debris stuck between the rotor and hub. A warped brake rotor can show up with different symptoms too.

The S4 is a better chip and outperforms in most tasks over the Tegra quad core processor, plus Qualcomm and their LTE chips WORK, and later this year the S4 Krait will be quad core also, in all honesty, do you really need a quad core processor in a smartphone. And Exynox is not comapible with LTE, Samsung and Nvidia are a bit behind the LTE front.
Last edited by cybertec69; 06-01-2012 at 03:37 AM.
the way i like to think about it is this. The dual core is souped up to do do 75mph and the quad core stock does 75mph. It makes me feel the dual core would definitely use more battery than the quad would. Plus you have more room on the quad for expanding or later on when people want to overclock it or whatever they do, than the dual core would. Dunno it just sucks why they cant just make one phone, one spec and done. If they knew quad wouldnt work with LTE they shoulda waited a bit and gone with the qualcom quad.
They wanted to use their quad core processor and had the means to do it for 3g. Also, its not really about us in the states. The GS3 is already the most preordered phone with only dropping in Europe, with carriers being restrictive and a PITA companies are focusing on better international phones, and i dont blame them. Why should Samsung have to argue whether or not Lets Golf 2 should be removeable or not on their phone or if "VERIZON" should be slapped in the face of their phone? Focus on the international markets, the US is secondary.
Why should US be secondary? that sucks. Its been made that way cuz everyone (corporations) are so cheap now a days cant spend a extra penny on nothing. I had the samsung galaxy s3 4 days ago and i played with it, it was by far the best phone i have ever used. So smooth, touch was awsome i couldnt find any flaw in it. Only reason i sold it is because i have verizon and i couldnt use it when i want 4g lte, i had to use my girlfriends att sim. And that pisses me off because it was so smooth and perfect, i dont want to go to a dual core version of it for verizon which would most probably heat up all the time since the cpu is being pushed to its limits just to equal the quad core, plus all those voltage crap. Agh! lol. This phone after using it for 20 min did not even show signs of heating up
This is not the case. The S4 will absolutely be more battery efficient due to core architecture (a15)..the exynos is an older carb V8 and the S4 is a turbo direct injected 4cylinder. They probably make close to the same power but the 4cylinder is more efficient and weighs less But I agree that quad-core will be a bit more future proof
Well you could have kept it and went on AT&T's network and gotten HSPA+. Honestly, I don't think we'll see much of a difference. I'm looking forward to this phone. If it drops here before unlimited data, I'll probably stay. If not, I'll weigh my options with Verizon vs. Sprint or go with a prepaid GSM.
ok see i didnt know that.
why use out dated cores? if there are better cores available why not just strap those in there?
I love that they named it Krait!! which phones care it?
i always forget about HTC. I dont have much love for the phones but only because ive never had any luck with them.
Trying to decide on my next phone. I am torn between the DNA and the SGS3.

The Relationships in Marketing: Contribution of a Historical Perspective
This paper presents an historical analysis of relationship marketing. We discuss the roots and the directions of relationship marketing that are considered relevant: their origins, the Industrial Marketing and Purchasing group (IMP) approach to business relationships, the Nordic approach to services relationships and, the managerial and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) approach of relationship marketing. The paper highlights that the boundaries of relationship marketing as defined in contemporary literature have been permeable and elastic. Relationship marketing consists of a fragmented collection of different approaches, partly independent partly overlapping, inspired by different theories, with a multitude of aggregation levels and several units of analysis. We clarify the scope of this domain and we present a number of critical issues that remain unresolved. Is the concept of relationship marketing ubiquitous and can it be applied to every context? Are relationships alike whatever the market considered? Do they describe the same phenomena or are they different phenomena resulting from different contexts? We present a historical analysis of relationships marketing that could contribute to a better understanding of what relationships are in marketing.Download Info

Sens Underground Forums > Heatley wants out of Ottawa?
Speculation that Heater wants to be traded. His contracts such a cap-hog that who the hell is going to pay him?
I posted earlier that i was dissapointed about this. But now i see it as a blessing. Stooli and others have been saying it all along. You can't pay these 4 guys half your cap. Take 7.5/year for 5 years out of that, and we have some serious flexibility. I don't think it will be that hard to move him. 7.5m/year for one of the games premiere scorers is just about right. The real work remains getting good compensation for Heatley. Hopefully Murray can find a good deal. Maybe a high pick this year and an established D man to finally be our number one.
I don't want anyone on this team that bitches about the coach and that he has to work too hard. This team is soft, they lack discipline. Get him outta here and get us a solid number one D man.
BTW, i think news this big deserves a new podcast ;)

Always hankered for a Citroen? The Subaru SVX is the closest thing we've gotten to one these past few decades. I find the resemblance to the XM more than coincidental. Which is a bit odd (or not) considering that the XM beat the SVX to the market by a few years (1989). And the XM was styled by Bertone, while arch-rival Giorgetto Giugiaro's Ital design did the SVX. A case of great minds thinking alike? Or just the styling cliches de jour? Given the Subaru's "aircraft-inspired glass-to-glass canopy" with the very unusual windows within windows, the SVX was actually more "Citroen" then the real thing. No wonder it's such a curious oddity today.
A replacement for the almost-equally "progressive" XT Coupe (coming to CC soon), the SVX was an ambitious attempt to show the world that Subaru could do more than crank out funky little AWD wagons for Vermonters and Oregonians. It turned out to be too ambitious, especially at its price. The LSL version stickered at $28k in '92 ($42k adjusted). That was problematic, given that it appeared in the middle of a recession. The SVX never lived up to Subaru's sales expectations, and only some 14k of them were sold during its five years ('92-'97) on the US market.
The SVX's engine was a further development of the boxer six that first showed up in the XT6 a few years earlier. Now it sported DOHC heads and 3.3 liters, but its 230 hp weren't exactly earth shattering, even for the times (and price). And due to its struggle with weight (3600 lbs), performance was more garde than avant. Zero to sixty came in 7.3 seconds; the quarter mile in 15.4/92 mph. Obviously, the SVX wasn't going to offer the performance to bucks ratio of a Mustang GT.
Subaru's manual transmission wasn't up to the H6′s twist, so it was automatic only. The word on the street is that the automatic is overstressed too, and very fragile. Buyer beware! And although conceived of as an AWD all-the-time coupe, Subaru sold some FWD versions during '94-'95 in an effort to keep the price down. It was still too steep, and the market for cars like this was just melting away during the nineties.
It's said that Subaru lost some $3k per SVX sold, or a total of $75 million. But a major part of its existence was to be a halo car, and in that respect, those numbers aren't exactly terrible. The next Subaru coupe, the Toyabaru, will presumably hit the sporty coupe market closer to the sweet spot, with competitive prices. And the SVX will increasingly be seen as the unique oddity it always was, the Japanese Citroen.

As the owner of a '99 Impreza RS, I have a thing for 90s Subarus, and this is the crown jewel. The documented tranny issues are always a worry, and no manual box has kept me away unfortunately.

The bumper stickers suggest the uniqueness of the SVX probably matches the driver, or her opinions of herself at least.
More cars should come in hunter/british greens. I know only a small percent of people go for actual colors for their car, but if you can offer snot green as an option you can offer a jade.

I'll second the call for more cars to be offered in BRG. My grandfather had a Morgan that was resplendent in BRG. It was ultimately passed down to my father who had it restored and changed it to fly yellow. While it looked great in yellow, there was just something proper about the car in BRG.
Anyhow, thanks for posting the SVX, Paul. I coveted these as a car crazed teen when they first came out. I went on a test drive in a beautiful, pearlescent white one with my old man when they first hit the dealer. It was a really nice car that we both liked, but he ultimately went with a more sporting, and manual equipped, RX-7. The Mazda was undoubtedly more fun, but there was something about the weirdness of the SVX that left a tiny part of me wishing he had bought the Subie.

I think this car has fewer unique bumper stickers that I've ever seen on a Subaru from the 1990′s. I think it may be a legal requirement, but this car seems to be short of the minimum of one per year. Still, it's a beautiful car, I hope the 086a / 216a is at least half as interesting.

Also, didn't the SVX have Alcantara interior bits before that was common practice and Alcantara was even a brand name? I seem to recall the armrest and part of the dash was covered in the stuff. The interior pic seems to confirm that, but it's hard to tell from the tiny pic on my cell….

Ford has a deep green color on offer now – Atlantis Green, that you can get on the Taurus and Fusion. It is a few shades darker than BRG however, and looks absolutely gorgeous when the light hits it right. Unfortunately, the rest of the time it sort of looks like a dusty black car.
As far as the SVX goes, I love these things. I test drove one once (well, from the passenger seat, my friend was actually test driving it) and thought it was very cool with the funky styling. This ranks right up with the Isuzu Vehicross, VW Thing, and Delorean for cars I would buy if I had enough money to throw some away on a fun little money pit.

I've seen at least two of these on ebay with 5-speed conversions.
I seriously looked at a very nice low-mileage (70K) 92 SVX this same color a couple of years ago. By the time I'd read up on it and found the right questions to ask about it, it had been sold. The drive was quite reminiscent of a V6 Accord – quite smooth, powerful, decent handling.

My uncle had an 85 Loyale Wagon with the manual shift 4X4. Purchased new, rusted very quickly in Ohio winters but kept running, rusty, patched up, but he easily put 300,000+ miles on her. He kept it for the 4×4, his job as maintenance supervisor for a factory meant he had to be there at 4am, come hell or high water. After his divorce he promptly went out and bought a Legacy GT wagon.

The transmission problems were fixed for the later years. My 96 LSi didn't have the annoying seatbelt arrangement either so that must have been changed in the later models as well. As for restoring the beast (Which I plan on doing like a fool) from the sites I have been on there is very limited support in the US. The price was what killed it though. When I got mine 2 years ago it still had the price index from when it was new and it was just above 36K which is more than a fully loaded Legacy.

I last had a close look at an SVX about a year ago, and the window and door seals were rather deteriorated – more rubber than usual is exposed to the elements with this window design. I would be surprised if anyone offers aftermarket seals for this car.
Did anyone else here see the Ford Aurora station wagon displayed at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair? Very similar window arrangement – I'm sure photos can be found online.

This is the only Subaru that I ever thought of as being cool. The styling is so odd, yet so beautiful. I thought it was great looking from the very first time I saw it. Given the low production figure and the 13 years since it was last produced, there can't be very many left.

I used to have one of these–a 1996. I think the tranny issues were all sorted out by 1994. But my a/c conked out, and I had to wait a month for the part to arrive from Japan. In June. And let me tell you, those windows may look like fun, but they don't let in a lot of air.
It chomped through rotors.
I never should have sold it. It wasn't fast from 0-60, but it could haul from 60 to 100. Stable as a Mercedes in concrete. It got through winter snow like a polar bear.
Gloriously weird. Sigh.

My departed 1992 SVX LS-L is the only car of the two dozen or so that I've had that I want back and that group includes a 1973 Datsun 240Z, a 1969 BMW 2002ti, 1989 Ford Taurus SHO, and a 1973 Porsche 914 1.7. The SVX did suffer a failed transmission and wheel bearings, but the car is just so right in most respects, esthetically and functionally. The SVX was not a canyon carver, but an elegant GT, a superb high-speed cruiser and a peerless car in winter. If Subaru should offer an equivalent model again, I'd buy it.

I wanted to like these, but when they came out they had those disgusting motorized seat belts. And no hatch despite appearances. And I don't think they had cloth seats, only leather.
So I got a 90 Legend Coupe, cloth, manual, very nice, very reliable….Login to reply

I had that exact car: 1992 – check, green – check.
It was a fantastic car. People always commented on the funky windows. It was comfortable to drive, easy to maintain, and smooth on the road. My example was acquired nearing 90,000 miles and I had it until 140,000 or so.
The previous owner, whom I knew, had the transmission issue and it was replaced under warranty I think. A couple of CV boots and a timing belt were to be expected. What I didn't expect was the power steering leak that was incurable by the shop. This was the only maintenance blemish that was probably more the shop than the car. I wanted to get a bigger car because while these cars have character in spades, they don't have trunk space.
I liked it.

I bought a 92 SVX LSL new in spring of 93 and I still have it. I had read an article in Automobile magazine about the SVX in early 92 sometime and was totally taken with its looks and with all the luxury items Subaru had put into the car. Not only does it have all wheel drive but it has things such as variable assist speed sensitive power steering, speed sensitive intermittent wipers, climate control, heated outside mirrors, projector style headlamps and even a door to cover up the stereo from prying outside eyes! (to name just a few). Most of those things are commonplace on cars of today but back in 1992 this stuff was pretty cutting edge! In spring of 93 they were offering deals on the 92′s still on the lot to make room for the 93′s coming in. I test drove a 92, fell in love and got the $30K ride for $23K (expensive, but not too bad) My car is in the teal green color that is pictured here. I love this car and I won't be selling it anytime soon. It has 95K on the odometer and runs strong. Yes, it has had the tranny replaced (warranty some years ago) and the front rotors tend to go quickly. The rear wheel bearing problem seems to have been solved with the TSB's that Subaru has put out on the subject over the years. I think the positives far outweigh the negatives on this car though. I have gotten more looks and have been asked more questions about this car than I can recall .. quite the conversation starter. It isn't the fastest thing out there off the line but it is smooth, handles well and I love how it really moves out in the 60-100+ mph range! It's comfortable on long drives and I still get 27-28 mpg on the freeway with cruise control. I'm in my mid 40′s now and I can honestly say out of all the cars I've owned since I was 16, this has been my absolute, overall favorite. Hopefully Subaru's next coupe will be a head turner as well!

When I was researching these I discovered that there are several enthusiast sites online. They know the serial number after which the transmissions had coolers attached, and other such arcana.
As far as rust, I saw several east coast SVX's on ebay, and the rust problems – at least the visible ones – looked relatively minor.
Whether I'd have liked owning that SVX or not, I'm certain that the experience would have been interesting.

Bought a '94 SVX in '96 in Nashville, blue FWD/cloth, with 19K miles for $14K. Drove like an absolute dream on the interstate, and mileage wasn't bad, either.
Would still have it, were it not for its insatiable appetite for rear wheel bearings. Subie dealer replaced them under warranty with every oil change (you could hear them grind after 3k miles). Said it was a common problem w/SVX's. Decided it would be too expensive out of warranty as the odo approached 36K, so I fixed it one last time and traded in.
Other than that, the ownership experience was excellent. I did really enjoy that car!

Flash plays fine in preview, won't play on server
Oh, Flash, my eternal nemesis...
Situation: I built an HTML page that has three flash files embedded into it. The first go round, while working out other bugs, I used a single .swf file copied and renamed a couple times for basic differentiation, and all three pointed to the same .xml file for their behavior. I got the test page loaded, and all was swell.
Then, I went back and using the .fla from which the test .swf's were created from, created three new flash files and told each one to point to a different .xml file (these are rotating image galleries, pointing to different galleries in their own folders). Export movies, load them into the page. In the browser preview, everything works dandy. However, when I upload the whole kit and kaboodle to the server, the movies don't play.
I can point directly to the .swf's in my browser and they play from the server just fine. All the images are there, they behave like they should. However, in the context of the page they are supposed to be viewed in, nothing.
They're in the same location locally as they are on the server. Is there some sort of pointing syntax that would work fine on my local machine, but that the server couldn't make sense of? Do the .swf and .xml files have to be in the root folder? Is there something else I'm missing?
I hope you guys can help... This is driving my batty. >_<

Oh, the joy of debugging flash ...
It sounds like the flash is looking for the XML file in the wrong place.
There is a plugin for Firefox called Live HTTP Headers that will show you exactly what HTTP requests are made, and will thus also show you what XML the flash is requesting.
Install that and see if the request the flash is making for the XML file is correct.Rémon - Hosting Advisor

Ok, I got the plug-in, and I'm trying to make sense of it all. But so far, the files that it's saying it can't find are on the server, right where it says they aren't. *Sigh*
Edit: Success! I...don't even know what I did to fix it, because it didn't seem any different from what I was doing yesterday. But now it works, and that's all that matters... Thanks for the plug-in though!

Orioles preview
by: Ben ValentineFeb 12, 2014 1:51 PM
Age: 25 | Height: 6'5" | Weight: 210 lbs |
Born: Apr 15, 1988 - Anaheim, California United States | College: None | |
Throws/Bats: R / R | Salary: $508,500 | Debut: 7/29/2009 |
Draft: 2006 - Round 2 |
Chris Davis leads a powerful offense in Baltimore, and Ben Valentine says the Orioles could soon have a strong rotation to match the lineup.
Could post-hyper Brett Wallace be on a very detoured road to fantasy stardom? Eric Ferguson examines Wallace's recent success and answers more burning questions for deep leaguers.
The Padres are staying in the NL West hunt with the help of Jason Marquis and Eric Stults. Bill Bender looks at how long that will last as he profiles the Week Ahead.
While it's a relatively light upcoming week of baseball, there are a surprising number of streaming options, like Zack Wheeler, available to fantasy owners. Ben Valentine breaks down the two-start candidates.
Brad Pinkerton recaps Wednesday's action, including a homer hat trick by Ryan Zimmerman, before prepping you for the upcoming games.
With every team playing at least four interleague games next week, Matt Lutovsky looks at the pitchers, like Max Scherzer, who will miss out on the fun. Get that, plus all the latest pitching news and notes.
Few fantasy owners had faith in Ryan Dempster before the season, but those who did have been rewarded. Matt Lutovsky discusses whether Dempster can keep it up before looking at more risers and fallers in next week's pitcher's rankings.
Brad Pinkerton highlights Thursday's action, including another strong start from Dan Haren, before Matt Lutovsky preps you for the upcoming games.
R.A. Dickey is just one of the many intriguing options for fantasy owners looking for two-start matchups next week. Ben Valentine takes a look at Week 4's best (and worst) choices.
The Fantasy Source crew breaks down some hot- and cold-starting pitching in their latest podcast -- possibly jinxing Justin Masterson and inspiring Greg Holland in the process.
Doug Fister is one of five middle-round pitchers who provides both low WHIP and enough strikeouts to be a premium bargain. Bill Bender highlights those pitchers.
The Orioles surprised the baseball world last year, but Bill Bender says there's enough talent in Baltimore to keep the good times going -- at least for fantasy owners.
On a night with several strong pitching performances, Homer Bailey's no-hitter stood out. Craig Williams touches on Bailey's performance and others before Matt Lutovsky checks in on today's action.
Anthony Rizzo's monster performance at the dish highlights an explosive day of offense. Craig Williams sorts through the studs and duds before shifting focus to Monday's schedule.
Brad Pinkerton breaks down next week's crop of two-start pitchers, including the struggling Yu Darvish.
James Shields is among the pitchers who has raised his strikeout game in the second half, and Matt Lutovsky says that's a league-wide trend that fantasy owners can take advantage of.

Thu Jan 31, 2013 11:12 am An elite prospect when he was acquired for Erik Bedard in 2008, Tillman struggled in his first three major league seasons after his velocity declined. He finally recovered last year, seeing his velocity increase nearly three mph from the previous season and showing acceptable control for the first time in the majors. Tillman was a key contributor down the stretch, pitching like an ace with a 9-3 record and sub-3.00 ERA. Homers remain a major concern for Tillman's ERA, but it looks like he's finally back.
Fantasy Source Spin: If his velocity holds, Tillman shows potential for a sub-4.00 ERA as a solid single-league starter. His mixed-league value could still vary pitching in the AL East.

Newest Review: ... The Sims == The Sims is a people simulator from Maxis, who also made SimCity. You create families of people, called Sims, and get to... more
How to make your own life go away
The Sims (PC)
Member Name: sersha
The Sims (PC)

Advantages: very entertaining, completely absorbing, good graphics
Disadvantages: gets boring after a while, could take over your life
When her child (she's not actually sure who the father is) comes home from school, she manages to get out of the hot tub for a bit and listen to her, like any good mother would. But her child is struggling at school, and if she doesn't get better grades soon she's going to end up being sent away to military school. As if all that wasn't enough to cope with, she's just had a baby, and it screams and screams and needs fed and played with and sang to all the time.
This woman (Sharmila Mole) plagues my thoughts, in the car, at work, while shopping, and even when well…. you know. Her life, and the life of those around her, is beginning to take over my own. Everything happens in inverse proportion. The more time I spend trying to help her improve her skills, the more my own suffer. The more I try to get her to interact with neighbours and friends, the less time I spend talking to anyone myself. And the more time she spends "playing" in her Vibromatic Heart Bed, the less time I find myself… well, you know.
You know, cos you'd have to be living on planet Zog not to know that Sharmila Mole is a Sim. As are Naveed Mole, Richard Mole (nee Branson - he's rich), Dave Mole, Frankie Mole, Little Sharmila Mole, and Sylvie Marie Mole. None of them actually has one single atom in the whole of their constitution, yet I find myself making sure they are all safely tucked up in bed at night before I can go there myself and have peaceful dreams about the day they have a party with friends and don
39;t wake up too knackered to go to work.
The Aim of the Game
Anyone can have a Sim family. But not anyone can have a happy and contented Sim family. Sims have certain requirements that must be met, indicated by green bars which drop to red when their needs are wanting. Every Sim needs looking after: since they tend to do what they like, if left alone, rather than what's good for them. You are God in this game: you control their levels of hunger, comfort, energy, fun, sociability, hygiene and even their bladder. You create their personality at the outset, and determine how playful they are, how serious, how tidy. If it goes horribly wrong, it's all your fault. You even get to choose their "skins" – their face, their body, and their clothes.
House Building
My husband builds fantastic Sim Houses, but he doesn't play Sims. He enjoys the creative part of it, leaving me to sort out the relationship crises. Typical. Of course you don't have to build your own house, or even create your own Sims. There are some already there just waiting for you to play if you'd rather start that way, as well as a tutorial house, which is always a good idea for a beginner.
You want to build your own? You can choose from one of 5 neighbourhoods in which to build a house - but bear in mind that you can't move a family from one neighbourhood to another, and that Sims can only interact with Sims in their own neighbourhood. If you run out of plots, you can always evict your Sims, demolish their house, and start again on a new plot.
The size of your plot can vary depending on how much cash (Simoleans) you have to spend. The bigger your initial outlay on spending, the less you will have to spend on important things to put in your home - like toilets and fridges and beds!
In the building tools section you'll find tools to help you create walls
, wallpaper them, put down flooring tiles, plant flowers, put in stairs, build swimming pools, add windows, roofs, and alter the terrain to suit yourself. You can build houses on two levels, and add balconies, picket fences, rose bushes, pink storks, whatever you desire.
It could all get completely out of hand. You could begin to take an interest in the dozens of Sim-devoted websites and look at their designs for houses, download extra stuff from the Maxis website, even create your own Sim people (using photographs) ... it all depends how far you want to take it.
Sim Life
It's not a bed of roses looking after a Sim (unless you plant one). You have to keep those green levels up, which can be hard enough with one adult: if you stick six in your house, you will be seriously pressed to keep them all happy. With this deluxe version, you get a whole load of things you can buy which enhance your Sim lives. Examples are the woodworking bench, chemistry set, guinea pig, and so on.
Unless you use cheats (bah!) you will need to send your Sims out to work to bring in some cash, or you won't be able to acquire all these little extras. Sims can find a job in the newspaper (one job per day) or on the computer (3 per day.) Then it's simply a question of getting out the house in time to catch the carpool to work, and building up levels of skills to get promoted. Beware though: miss two days of work in a row and your Sim will be fired! There are several career paths with starting jobs ranging from science test subject to pickpocket ... and the skill credits your Sims can pick up range from creativity (gained by painting, or playing the piano) to logic (playing chess or star gazing) to body (working out or swimming in the pool). The more skill credits your Sims get, the better their chances of getting promoted. The job panel within each Sim panel will tell you what skills they need to acquire for promotion.
The r
eally difficult part of Sim Life, for you, is the relationship panel. Relationship points are gained by talking with other Sims, but they can also be taken away. Sometimes Sims just don't get on, due to personality clashes. Sims can talk, joke, entertain, hug, give each other back rubs, flirt, dance, tickle, kiss, ask each other to move in (neighbours) and even propose. On the other hand, they can also get very jealous and slap each other! A smiley face means you have made a family friend, but this isn't fixed in stone: if you don't keep up with people the points simply fall away until you are back to having no relationship at all. The phone is the easiest way to keep relationships together: it allows Sims to chat and to invite people over, although on moving in, generally neighbours hang around for a nosey which gives you a good chance to get your Sims to meet them and make contact. You can't phone someone you haven't met yet!
Of course, your Sims can also get ill and die: beware the guinea pig disease! The Grim Reaper turns up when your Sim is on its last legs: you might get a chance to plea for your Sims life (I've never managed to save one though!) Then you get a little urn, which if you take outside becomes a gravestone. Similarly, if your Sims get really miserable, you might get a Clown turning up, who is very irritating and hard to get rid of!
Game Play
Looking after your Sims is all about mouse control. The screen has a bar at the bottom with three sublevels: live mode, buy mode, and build mode. In the buy mode you are shopping for furnishings for the house or garden: in the build mode you are creating, destroying, or moving things about, and in the live mode, you have a panel for each Sim that you have in your house, showing their personality, their job status, their general mood, their relationship levels with all the other Sims in the house (and outside friends too).
Once in
the live mode, you simply click on the Sim you want, and then click the appropriate actions. Each item in the house has it's own little menu that appears when you click on it. So when I click on Sharmila's Vibromatic Heart Bed, I get a small menu of options - make bed, sleep, relax, vibrate, or... "play in bed." (She does that a lot, hence all her problems.) Almost everything in the house is clickable - the fish tank (feed or watch), the TV - (switch to cartoons, watch TV) - and the fridge (serve dinner, have dinner, have snack) for example.
When you have assigned the action to the Sim it appears in a small box at the top of the screen, and you can have a row of actions up there so you can see what the Sim's next 8 actions are going to be, if you are organised to plan their life that far in advance for them. Still in the live mode, you can then flick from Sim to Sim seeing what they are doing for the foreseeable future: and keeping a watchful eye on them.
Occasionally, you get stroppy Sims who just cancel their cleaning up boxes and prioritise eating instead: it all depends on which needs they need to fulfil first. There are basically two levels of actions: auto ones that the Sims provide for themselves, and actions you give them, which override the auto ones, unless the Sim is forced out of your actions. That can happen when, for example, you send a Sim to the shower, someone else is in there, the Sim gets shooed out of the bathroom, and then promptly forgets everything on the list you gave it to do.
The answer? Well, it doesn't always help, but I like to provide ensuite bathrooms for each Sim couple and always assign them to their own bathrooms. It also helps to have corridors at least two squares long so that wherever they are in the house they can pass each other easily. Too many Sims in your house and you get people jams!
I was really impressed with the graphics,
especially the detail when you zoom in close and watch your Sims dance. There is also such a huge range of stuff you can decorate with that the building part of the game never gets boring for me.
I like the idea of importing famous faces into the game so you could have your own Sim Posh and Becks and do with them what you will ...
Mainly the sounds are great: Sims playing the piano can be very painful, but children (who don't accumulate skills) are little Beethovens and can play fantastically! They are also great on the guitar. I really like my little girl saying "yummy" when she gets some food cooked from someone who is skilled at cooking. The radios play real songs, and the TV switches from real "action" sounds to "cartoon" sounds. The Sim language is quite funny: some of them sounds a bit posh. Initially I tried hard to make out what they were saying not realising it was a made up language. What really irritates me is the sound of the car outside waiting to take the Sims to work: the constant beeping and hooting is good in that you won't forget what time it is, but it's also quite irritating!
Annoying Bits:
I find Sim time goes too fast, even at the slowest speed: it can take your Sim about three hours just to get out of bed, have a shower, and eat something. I always find this means I don't have time to throw a party that lasts for any decent of length of time: everyone gets too tired too quickly and I have to make them all nap or drink expresso to keep going for a bit longer.
I don't like the way it takes a Sim forever to change from one action to another. If they've started having a bath, and you tell them to stop and do something else, by the time they finish the action it can be too late. Especially annoying when they are late for work. On the reverse side, sometimes the actions don't last for very long (like
watching TV or sitting down - they sit down for a second and then get back up again.)
Getting stuck: like I said before, sometimes your Sims overlap and don't seem to be able to wait two seconds and just pass each other: sometimes they try to take alternative routes which can involve walking right round the outside of the house.
And sometimes… it gets a bit boring. Just constantly clicking actions and repeating the same sequences (go to toilet, wash hands, cook food, eat food, go to work.) Dull ...
Great Bits:
Being offered the chance to have a baby or adopt one always gives me a kick, as does a Sim wedding. Getting your Sims flirting and relating is always satisfying. As is making new friends, or seeing Sims get jealous and start punching each other. Building houses is probably a close second for me: always fun to do, regardless of whether you put anyone in it or not!
I'm far more addicted to Sims than I was to Zoo Tycoon, Sim City, or any of the other Sim games I've tried: this is my favourite, but then I haven't got all the expansion packs and I am gradually beginning to tire of the bits I have got. I can see it wearing off quite rapidly, but I've had many hours of fun building houses and watching my Sims fall in love. As with all these games though there are limitations and once you've played it for hours and hours there isn't anything new or exciting about it anymore. But that has to apply to every computer game to some extent: none of them are infinite.
I would recommend it: but it does come with a serious relationship warning: don't let your own suffer at the hands of your Sims!
The Sims Deluxe Edition cost me £39.99 at Game. This includes the original game, the "Livin' it Up," expansion pack which has a Sims Creator, which allows you to edit your Sims, and some exclusive ob
jects. There are plenty of expansion packs available including a Vacation pack, pet pack, pop star pack, and hot date pack, all at vastly inflated prices! (For 40 quid I think you should get the works ...)

@hareesh, You my friend are sadly mistaken with your concept of sound! These headphones are excellent! If you think bass is not important for gaming, I think you should stick with the Rs100 headsets. The Orca delivers a very nicely balanced sound, with great lows, mids and exceptional higs. Be it music or games or anything in fact, these headphones give out crystal clear sound and the over the ear design makes the experience even better. Footsteps? You can hear your enemies fart on the other side of the map! ha ha ha. (Tech Note: Don't expect great sound from good headphones if you have a crappy sound source!). In terms of gaming the only con one can point out is the lack of a mic, but then again these are HEADPHONES not HEADSETS! Another thing, these headphones are EXTREMELY comfortable, especially for long hours of gaming or music sessions. The sound quality of these babies is almost at par with some headphones which cost twice as much as these! I'm not bluffing, its tried and tested. And at this price point you cannot expect anything more from them.
Gaming- 9.5/10(that .5 deduction is JUST for the lack of a mic)
Music- 10/10
And FYI, I am a competitive gamer and an armature musician, so I do have a slight idea of what I'm talking about.
value for money .. light weight and very comfortable ear cushion... and what else.. oh! wait !
Though these headphones look uber beast, only the brave will wear them in public because firstly, they are not noise isolating (razer cares about our health :)) and unless you louuuvvee attention, you will be self conscious weaing these green babe's.
The noise is crystal clear, thumping bass, hard hitting wubs. Deep gun firing sounds, clear footsteps. Razer Orca is the bread and butter of Razer.
great headphones really great.......!!!!!!! hats off to RAZER for giving such good headphones at such an affordable price ...!!! however the lack of mic makes it bad for online gamers else it is the best example to describe a perfectly balanced headphone within the range of Rs. 5000/- ...!!!! however if you are willing to give away 5000rs. then i tell you go for Razer Electra they are the same rate as the orca BUT OFFER MIC AS WELL AS NOISE ISOLATION which you will be sadly missing in ORCA ...!!!!(I CAN TELL THIS BECAUSE I HAVE BOTH BEAUTIES)
for gaming - 8/10
for music - 8/10
MY REVIEW- if u r going to give away go definitely for ELECTRA without a second thought !!!
Best used for listening music.
If you are using for gaming and will be talking with other via a mic, den this is not the one as it does not have a built-in mic.
Sound is good, but not much heavy bass with mid and treble a little on the high side.
- good build quality/style
- 2 meter extension cable(extra)
- good audio quality 4/5
- good comfort ear cups
- lack of built-in mic
- lack of in-line volume rocker
These head phones sure will turn heads when you wear them outside. The good:
It's looks amazing
Tough build quality
Comfortable (Extreme) I couldn't even feel them on my ears.
The bass in general on these headphones is not all that deep and powerful for it's price. But it can also depend on the music player and the song as well. Sound leaks a lot. They sound like mini speakers or something on full volume!
So... if you want something that "Looks" cool get it!
Want something that sounds better than "Sounds" better that looking cool? then this is not it.
