Ivalice Illusion: Let's Play Final Fantasy Tactics Advance!
Awe Striker
Page: [1]
[table of contents]
[3] Monsters and Medicine
Before we go any further with this, I'd like to rearrange the party, which will give me a reason to explain stuff.
Your Clan starts out with six units:
Main Character (Amiah) [Human SLD]
Montblanc [Moogle BLK]
Human SLD (Eugene)
Bangaa MNK (Alexey)
Nu-Mou WHT (Cliffor)
Viera ARC (Elma)
There are a couple things wrong with this setup as is.
First off, one of your generics has the exact same job and race as your hero. This is generally a bad idea, since you can only field at most 6 units at a time (sometimes less).
The second thing is that Montblanc's stats don't really make him a good Black Mage.
The third thing is that except the White Monk and White Mage, none of those classes are very fast. Speed is a very important statistic in this game - sure, one or two points doesn't seem like a big deal, but 30 levels down the line you may well have 20 other turns in between one of your units'. My Archer actually came out with a surprisingly high amount of speed, though (116, making her my second fastest character).
The first step in fixing all this requires a certain amount of familiarity with the people of Ivalice, divided into five Races: Human, Nu-Mou, Bangaa, Viera, and Moogle.
are... well...
. They have access to a wide variety of jobs, starting with Black Mage (BLK), White Mage (WHT), Archer (ARC), Thief (THF), and Soldier (SLD).
are the expert magic users. Almost all of their jobs are magically-oriented, and
of them is very well suited to "smack enemies over head with weapon". They start with Black Mage, White Mage, and Beastmaster (BST) unlocked.
are tough, but slow. Some consider them to be not worth using, because none of their jobs get Speed growth that's that great. They start with only two jobs: Warrior (WAR) and White Monk (MNK).
are fast, and hit okay well, but aren't that durable. Not super-fragile, but you do need to expend extra effort to keep them alive. They start with White Mage, Archer, and Fencer (FEN) unlocked.
are... hard to define with one phrase that isn't rather long-winded like this one - many Moogle jobs are rather gimmicky, and tend to have a lot of status effect abilities. They start with Black Mage, Thief, and Animist (ANM) unlocked.
In an effort to not screw myself over, I pay 300 gil to accept the plot-advancement mission (and only one available) from the pub: "Herb Picking". Basically, someone wants us to go out and gather herbs for use in making medicines and such. If you read the title of the installment, you know what's probably going to happen when we go to do that.
Because there isn't really that much of a way to change half the team's jobs without buying new equipment, and I need money to buy new equipment, it would have been possible (but highly, highly unlikely) to go completely overboard and run out before I could pay the 300 Gil mission fee.
Once that's done, complete with uninteresting cutscene, I change Amiah's job to Thief and Elma's to Fencer. This completely ranged-screws Clan Euphoria, but for now that's okay; Archers aren't very useful in either of the first two plot missions. They're okay in the first one, but in the second they're at a huge disadvantage.
The jobs we have unlocked are as follows:
(Human) /
(Bangaa): These two are basically the same job. Both job classes can use Swords, but Soldiers can also use Greatswords. Warriors, however, get to use Broadswords instead. They are basically the same weapon group, but enough job classes exist that use them that a split was apparently necessary. Many of their abilities reduce the opponent's stats; among the most useful of these is Speedbreak, which is available from very early on.
(Human and Viera): Archers are, well, archers. They use Bows, which generally have a range of about 5-6 panels (although I think there's one that has Range 7). One of their most useful abilities is Concentrate, which gives a passive bonus to hit rate and is super-broken, although unavailable until late in the game. Sadly, this does not stop your enemies from getting it.
(Human and Moogle): Thieves
steal stuff
. They can eventually learn to steal gil, shields, accessories, EXP, JP, armor, weapons,
Robin Walker would be furious. Or maybe approve.
, and basically anything you'd care to name. Except shoes.
would love it in Ivalice. Thieves use Knives, which are fairly weak, with one or two glaring exceptions.
Black Mage
(Human, Nu-Mou, and Moogle): They go around casting attack magic at stuff. Black Mages use rods, which why would you even consider smacking someone with one? Seriously?
White Mage
(Human, Nu-Mou, and Viera): They heal people. They also get Protect, Shell, and other life-preserving buffs. White Mages use staves, which are only slightly more powerful than rods.
White Monk
(Bangaa): They punch people. They can also learn to punch people from a distance, as well as a few support moves that don't require MP. Since they punch people, they use fist weapons, which usually take the form of claws.
(Viera): Fencers are rather quick on their feet and gain new and unique ways to attack people with a really thin sword. Said "really thin swords" are Rapiers, which are otherwise only used by
caster classes
. My personal favorite Fencer skill is the ranged attack Nighthawk.
(Nu-Mou): Beastmasters have the unique ability to command monsters in combat. This would be really, really neat if you fought monsters more often, but most battles you'll be up against other clans, making them too situational. However, good things happen if you stick with one (or if you have another unit with a specific job class.)
(Moogle): Animists use nature and animals and whatnot to do stuff. Their abilities can be downright infuriating, and not just because one of them causes Berserk. The
nuisances (or blessings, if you're using them) are Chocobo Rush and Cuisine.
With that, time to head off to Giza Plains.
Mission 001: Herb Picking
[Location: Giza Plains]
[Laws: [Fire / Ice] [R1]]
Oh look there are monsters here. Let's kill them all so we can pick herbs in peace.
This is a straightforward battle - the monsters here don't have any abilities, so all they can do is punch you (monsters don't equip weapons).
One note about the laws, though: In the fight with the two Bangaa, Montblanc stated that the laws forbid certain actions. However, for every action type that is forbidden, another one is encouraged, or, as the game puts it, Recommended. Doing Recommended Actions awards 1 JP per action, provided it did something. The game's law calendar puts the Forbidden side in blue and the Recommended side in red, which is what would I have done above if the color code worked in liveblogs. [Forbidden / Recommended] is the way I will specify laws for combat. However, killing a unit with a Recommended Action
will not
award additional JP - JP is always dispensed one point at a time.
The [R1] next to the law is its Rank. A law's Rank affects what kinds of punishment units can receive for breaking it. Not all laws will be Rank 1, obviously; they get up to Rank 6 (although R6 laws are very rare.)
Battle Notes:
Despite the fact that these are
, which logically
should not have money
a Thief can still steal money from them
, and in fact, can do so multiple times! This continues throughout the entire game.
If you manipulate the law to forbid Fight, the monsters will run away from you. This makes your White Mage basically useless for the battle, since you WILL want him or her learning Cure.
After a quick, easy battle, the herbs are picked and the mission is clear.
Mission Rewards:
600 Gil
Map Symbol: Lutia Pass
AP is awarded at the end of every battle and goes towards your units' abilities. Your units learn abilities from equipment (for example, the Jackknife teaches Thieves Steal:Gil). While you are learning an ability, you can still use it. All abilities being learned receive the AP at the end of every battle, so if your unit is learning multiple abilities (almost essential, as armor and accessories grant abilities too), they will both receive 40 AP if you complete a battle that awards 40 AP. And it just happened
, as both the Soldier and Fencer are learning Shieldbearer in addition to their weapon's ability.
Abilities are also divided into four types.
or "A-Abilities": Stuff you do in combat. A-Abilities are grouped according to what class learns them. Units
have their own job's ability set equipped, but can also equip a second one, which can be "Item"
the exception is Alchemists; they get Item for free and should equip something else.
. A-Abilities are almost exclusively learned from weapons.
or "R-Abilities": These abilities activate when something is done
to you
in combat. The simplest, and by many accounts most useful one is Counter, which responds to attacks with attacks. R-Abilities are usually learned from armor, but there are a few exceptions. R-Abilities are also not affected by the law, which can be abuseable.
or "S-Abilities": Support Abilities are passive bonuses in combat. They can allow units to equip items they normally couldn't or increase their general effectiveness. S-Abilities are usually learned from armor, but at least two are learned from weapons.
or "C-Abilities": Comboes use JP to deliver a series of successive blows to an enemy unit all at once. Only the unit that actually uses the Combo command requires JP; the other units just tag along. C-Abilities can only be learned from Mythril weapons, which can only be obtained as a random clan battle reward.
That's about it for now; next time, what awaits us in the mountains?
1st Sep '11 9:52:07 PM flag for mods
Wonderful job so far, if I do say so myself. Personally, I never considered myself good at this game; while I excelled in "War Of The Lions" and "Tactics Ogre", in which the actions of an individual determined its growth, I felt that I always had to grind for AP just to make a decent party.
By the way, if I may be permitted to ask, do you have any grand plans for how you make the map of Ivalice? I think I remember good things happening if you make certain patterns, but that can be tricky without some kind of guide to reference.
EndarkCuli 2nd Sep 11
I don't have much of a plan for that, but I think I at least want the Mindu Gem and Zeus Mace.

The Everest Metro Police Department says they've gone through a list of 40 people provided to them by the public as possible suspects in an Aug. 15 robbery at Intercity State Bank in Weston. So far, no arrests have been made.
The incident happened in broad daylight and was captured by surveillance video. Police say the suspect implied a weapon, but did not show one. No on was injured.
The suspect did not wear gloves.
The FBI is assisting with the investigation, which is not unusual as the case is a federal offense.
The surveillance photos have been distributed to other law enforcement agencies in Wisconsin and throughout the Midwest..
A robbery also occurred Aug. 6 at a bank in Hatley in eastern Marathon County. That robbery also remains unsolved. Investigators have not connected the two.
If you have any information contact the Everest Metro Police Department at (715) 359-4202.

Evolution in the Holy Land
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
I became such an expert in young-earth creationist theology and science that it turned into a wrecking ball for my faith.
Science is an honest and noble pursuit, evidence of human intellect and curiosity, and to turn away from these is to deny a very important part of who God created us to be in the first place.
John Calvin really believed that the sun revolved around the earth, but we shouldn't dismiss the rest of his theology because of this error.
My childhood in the evangelical church gave me the toolkit that led me to eventually accept the evidence for evolution, and marvel at the God who created it all.
BioLogos president Deb Haarsma responds to Ken Ham's recent comments about Hugh Ross, and pleads for a more gracious conversation between Christians on issues of faith and science.
Recent high-school graduate Jacob shares about his journey from young-earth creationism to evolutionary creationism, and how his faith was challenged and strengthened along the way.
Read about the death of Wolfhart Pannenberg, still debating creation and evolution, and a really big dinosaur discovery.
God invites us to understand his power and nature through studying what has been made.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Conflicts occur when people argue one worldview against another. They may be arguing Atheism versus Monotheism, then pull out science as a weapon saying, "science proves I'm right because of this or that..." In my view, science is rather more limited than this. Science has a lot of interesting resonances with the big questions, and can inform them, but I don't believe it can answer them.
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Because BioLogos accepts the scientific evidence for the age of the earth and common ancestry, Ham believes we are undermining the Bible and denying its authority. However, the authority of the Bible is key for all that we do at BioLogos.
There is often a worry that working in or studying science is a threat to faith, but stories of scientists who are Christians in the top ranks of academia show that this is not the case.
How should we interpret the Bible? What is the role of tradition? What is the role of science? Who gets to decide whether traditional interpretations need to change?
"I believe that we must now ask for more than simple avoidance of cognitive dissonance. I believe we should seek for cognitive consonance."

Heather Morris Plastic Surgery Rumor Confirmed; Breast Implants Already Removedby Free Britney at . Comments
Glee cast member Heather Morris has admitted, after previous denials, that she did have breast implants. Emphasis on did. Those puppies are history!
She denied that she had surgery earlier this year, telling American Cheerleader magazine in February that her new curves were from good bras alone.
But the 24-year-old, who plays ditzy Brittany on the hit show, has now come clean about going under the knife - and why it was a mistake in the end.
Morris admits in the latest issue of Fitness magazine that her bigger chest was too painful when she exercised so she recently had the implants taken out.
"Implants were something I thought I wanted when I was younger, and now I don't," she said. "It was hard being active with them, my chest was always sore. It hurt a lot, and I didn't like being in pain - so they had to go!"
So, that's that.Morris also says she would happily give up acting if it helped her keep boyfriend Taylor Hubbell: "I want to marry him so bad ... That's what I really care about. I want to marry Taylor and have kids with him."
"I love acting, but if it affects my relationship, I won't carry on doing it."
Fake boobs or not, she's a keeper! Put a ring on it, Taylor!
please don't quit glee heather!!!! i will commit suicide if you do! i love you so much, glee wouldn't be the same without you and santana would be devistated if you break up with her!!!!
pleaSE! GLEE IS MY LIFE AND WITHOUT IT, I WOULD BE SO DEPRESSED!

WICHITA FALLS, Texas (AP) - A traffic stop in Wichita Falls led to a policeman shot, a fleeing suspect caught and questioning of the person who opened fire.
A statement early Thursday from Police Chief Dennis Bachman says the officer suffered non-life threatening wounds to his arm and leg and was being treated at a hospital.
Bachman says the officer, whose name has not been released, made a traffic stop Wednesday night. The driver ran, fleeing into a back yard, then the officer used his Taser on the suspect.
Bachman says the officer was trying to gain control of the suspect when a person in the residence came out and shot at least one round, striking the officer.
The wounded policeman called for backup. Responding officers helped arrest the traffic suspect.
Bachman says the person who opened fire was detained for questioning.
A police spokesman did not immediately return a call to The Associated Press early Thursday to provide more details.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- Sportsmen and women older than 75 would pay just $1 for hunting and fishing licenses under legislation the Illinois Senate has approved.
The measure is sponsored by Rep. Jack Franks -- a Marengo Democrat. It must return to the House for approval on Senate changes.
Franks says seniors have been paying for licenses their entire lives and the state should make it a priority to ensure everyone can enjoy Illinois' natural settings.
The legislation also eliminates the fee to obtain the pheasant, furbearer, habitat and migratory waterfowl stamps and the inland trout and salmon stamps for fishermen.
Franks says he heard from a constituent contending that while license fees are reduced for those over age 62, they still are too expensive for some.

A man accused of starving his dog to death was sentenced this week in Allen Superior Court and will be placed in work release today to serve the executed portion of his sentence.
Cameron Marcum, 26, was sentenced Tuesday by Allen Superior Court Judge Wendy Davis on a charge of torturing or mutilating a vertebrate animal. He was given a two-year prison sentence, but 18 months of that sentence was ordered suspended under a plea pact.
He will be able to serve the sentence on Allen County work release, and according to court records, he will begin serving the time in work release today. After he serves that portion of his sentence, he will serve 18 months on probation.
His girlfriend, Chelsey Ormsby, will be sentenced later. She pleaded guilty to torturing or mutilating a vertebrate animal.
As part of their plea agreements with prosecutors, neither may legally own or possess any animal, and both may be visited without notice by Fort Wayne Animal Care & Control during their probation periods.
They were charged this year after an investigation into the death of a puppy named Tito. His decomposing body was found in a bedroom under a child's bassinet. He had been slowly starved to death, deprived of food, water and human contact for months.
His body was discovered in October when police went to serve arrest warrants on the couple.
Two other charges against Marcum – cruelty to an animal, a misdemeanor, and harboring a non-immunized dog, an infraction – were dismissed.

Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney arrives on his campaign plane at Boston's Logan AirportPhoto by Associated Press /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
BOSTON — Mitt Romney has conceded defeat in the presidential contest.
The Republican nominee told supporters he would pray for Barack Obama's success in leading the nation.
Romney thanked his running mate Paul Ryan, saying the Wisconsin congressman had a bright future in the GOP.
Romney lost nearly all the major battleground states to Obama including Ohio, the hardest fought prize.
The former Massachusetts governor said it was time to put aside partisan bickering and work together for the good of the country.

thanks to him
This is NOT a problem of the module but the way Paypal works per se.
Exactly what I need and it works like a charm. Thanks guys.
To include this in an article you can use the LoadModule Joomla plugin, and you'll be able to include this module into any article you require.
Hope this helps.
Parameters include confirmation page, ability to use Paypal button or text button. Recommended by Rowby!
so I went to the website to make a comment about it and lo and behold for under $5us I was able to get the pro version. well worth it. you should put a note on the listing letting folks know there is a very cheap pro version available with no ads.
The only issue I can find with this extension is the lack of ability to offer both a 'donate' and a 'subscribe' donation at the same time. I run a smaller community driven site and don't want to only provide a re-occurring option for those that can/will only donate once... and vice-versa.
I was able to manage this issue by creating a copy of the module and publishing it just below the other one with the alternative option enabled... though it would be nice to have a drop down box for users to decide how they wish to donate in one smaller space.

Progress in 5-2-5 Matrix Systems
A high-quality 5-2-5 matrix encoder and decoder system offers the prospect of inexpensive compatible media for multichannel sound. The advantages to the consumer, music and film producers, and broadcasters, are obvious. This paper reports on a system which offers excellent 5-2-5 codec performance, while preserving or improving the balance, frontal perspective, and spaciousness of standard stereo recordings. The decoder provides two or four independent rear outputs, which are capable of complete separation from the other outputs for a single steered sound effect, and which preserve full left/right separation during music. Decorrelated signals such as music can be panned forward and back with full left/right separation. Frontal perspective and balance between center material such as dialog and vocals and other material is preserved through careful control of the center channel level as a function of the center content of the input signal. This paper will present a mathematical description of the matrix elements of the new decoder, and discuss some of the psychoacoustic data on which it is based.

Report: Indian casinos revenue up slightly in 2011
Indian casinos brushed off weak consumer spending in a sluggish U.S. economic recovery to post a modest increase in revenue in 2011, an industry study reported Wednesday.
AP Business Writer
Indian casinos brushed off weak consumer spending in a sluggish U.S. economic recovery to post a modest increase in revenue in 2011, an industry study reported Wednesday.
Not only did revenue rise 3 percent, to $27.4 billion, but Indian casinos are holding on to their share of total casino gambling revenue, competing closely with commercial casinos, according to the report, "Casino City's Indian Gaming Industry Report."
The revenue increase is the second in as many years following a first-ever drop in Indian casino revenue in 2009 as the worst recession in decades took its toll on consumer spending. The back-to-back increases in revenue are encouraging, the report said.
"The question is how much further can Indian gaming grow?" author Alan Meister said.
Indian gambling was slowing before the start of the recession in late 2007 due to legislation, regulations and court decisions that restricted the types of games offered by Indian casinos, the number of states where gambling is permitted and other limits, he said.
The outlook for Indian gambling now appears healthy because the economy is expected to continue improving, restoring consumer spending, Meister said. In addition, many tribes are upgrading, expanding and replacing casinos.
Indian-run casinos such as those in Alabama and Nebraska, he said, enjoy the advantage of being closer to consumers than many commercial casinos. "They're a good alternative to Vegas that's closer to home," he said.
But the long-term outlook for Indian gambling is uncertain, Meister said. Potential threats include continuing legal challenges - such as a land dispute court case in Michigan that Meister said increases the likelihood of other legal challenges to gambling projects - and state regulations that restrict Indian casinos and limit expansion. Indian casinos face "a lot more" restrictions than their commercial counterparts, he said.
"That, in some ways, holds back Indian gaming from what it could potentially be," Meister said.
Other potential challenges include increasingly saturated markets, rising competition and Internet gambling.
Indian gambling generated about 43 percent of U.S. casino gambling revenue in 2011, the report said. Revenue at commercial casinos was 45 percent and revenue from racinos - casinos that operate at race tracks - accounted for the remaining 12 percent. That's unchanged from 2010, but represents a huge gain from the Indian casino share of less than 20 percent in 1993.
Both Indian and commercial casinos could lose business to racinos, he said. State approval of gambling is easier at race tracks where betting already occurs than establishing new casinos, Meister said.
Revenue growth varied from as much as 26 percent in Alabama to minus 3 percent in New York. After Alabama, the fastest-growing states were Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina and Oklahoma.
Following New York, the steepest decline in revenue was in Oregon, North Dakota, Connecticut and Idaho.
Revenue at Indian casinos continued to be concentrated in certain states. California generated more revenue at Indian casinos than did any other state, producing $6.9 billion in 2011. Casinos in California accounted for more than 25 percent of Indian casino gambling revenue nationwide.
The top five states - Washington, Florida, Connecticut, California and Oklahoma - accounted for about 61 percent of total gambling revenue. The top 10 states, which include Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and New York, account for 86 percent of total Indian casino revenue.
Ironically, the weak economy has helped spur casino growth among states seeking more revenue, Meister said.

Oracle promises to obey own OpenJDK rules
Oracle is drafting rules it says even it can obey to run the open-source reference implementation of Java, OpenJDK. The giant's Java platform group chief architect Mark Reinhold revealed on Monday that his company has been working since November on a series of bylaws intended to govern the recently expanded OpenJDK project. …
When Project Harmony (plus anyone else who wants one) gets a TCK and the gob-shite suits get dropped, then we will see. Oracle is just like MS when MS MS says "Hmm, we love standards and openness" and then not fully detailing their own standards and threatening open source projects with patents unknown.
Until we see action, it's all just words; whilst the gums may be flapping in a new rhythm, the message has remained the same.
A community process we can believe in
Till we don't and then we will make MS look like a good player with standards .
wow, they said something?
normally they just ignore everyone and don't make any statement or reply. Do we flip a coin to see if we should believe them or ignore them because it'll be effectively meaningless?
Fool me once...
...shame on me for trusting a company like Oracle the first time around.
Apple supports Java in MacOS X but not on iOS
what gives?
Sign this
Oracle won't mind signing a sworn statement then? With heavy fines, jail terms and the death penalty for not respecting their signature . I mean they are good players and would never come back on their word ,now would they , so they have nothing to fear ?
Name them wrigth
The correct name of Brasilian contributor to Eclipse is "FabianO NardonI" with an "o" replacing the "e" in the first name, and an "i" after the "n" in the family name !!!!!!
And I am extremely sckeptical about anything Oracle "says" it will do .....
Free And Secure Programming Languages
Here is a little list of programming languages free of the Java Patent Cruft:
+ FreePascal / Lazarus
+ GNU Ada (GNAT)
+ Cyclone
+ Modula-3
We now know that Richard Stallmann was sport-on in suggesting that Java is a death-trap and the hunter in charge of the trap is named Larry Ellison.
Tux knew.
Interesting New Language: ATS
ATS is quite interesting:
It is safe, efficient and can be used to prove correctness. Which is impressive.
As another note, GNAT and FreePascal have GTK bindings to allow programmers write nice GUI apps.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A hole-by-hole look at The Olympic Club, site of the 112th U.S. Open to be played June 14-17:
No. 1, 520 yards, par 4: What contributes to The Olympic Club having such a brutal start is changing the opening hole to a par 4 for the first time. The hole moves slightly to the right, and then drops down a slope toward the green. There is plenty of room to run the ball onto the green for those who can't reach the green in two. The danger is the mowing down the rough left and long of the green, so any miss is likely to run into thick brush.
No. 2, 428 yards, par 4: Pay no attention to the yardage. This is another difficult hole, with a tight fairway beyond 270 yards that might force players to opt for 3-wood or hybrid off the tee. The approach is to an elevated green that is both shallow and severely sloped from back to front. An extra club is needed for the elevation change, yet anything long makes for a very difficult par.
No. 3, 247 yards, par 3: A new tee offers an incredible view of San Francisco, including the top of the Golden Gate bridge on a clear day. More daunting is the hole, which plays downhill to a relatively small green and is guarded by bunkers on both sides. The USGA also will use a forward tee from about 230 yards. Even from the tips, expect the players to be hitting a long to mid-iron because of the change in elevation.
No. 4, 438 yards, par 4: The shape of the tee shot is important. In classic Olympic fashion, the fairway bends sharply to the left, but the ground slopes to the right. The fairway narrows at 265 yards, leaving an uphill approach from a hanging lie to a difficult green that slopes severely from back left to front right. The green drops off sharply, with a collection area to the right.
No. 5, 498 yards, par 4: The opposite of No. 4, this hole bends to the right with the fairway sloping to the left. Large trees guard the right side of the tee shot. The difference is that the approach shot plays downhill, with help from a prevailing wind, and the green is relatively straightforward.
No. 6, 489 yards, par 4: A new tee means this will play some 50 yards longer than it did in 1998. This hole is unique in that it has the only fairway bunker on the course, but the new tee means players will need a 295-yard drive if they choose to carry it. Because players could clear the bunker at the turn of his slight dogleg left in 1998, they were left with a wedge. Expect to see longer clubs this time.
No. 7, 288 yards, par 3: The first hole that offers a realistic shot at birdie, and the one par 4 that can be reached from the tee. Players who hit iron off the tee will have a sand wedge to the green. Around the green, there is only 5- to 6-inch rough to increase the penalty for those trying to drive the green, which also is guarded by bunkers.
No. 8, 200 yards, par 4: This is a new hole and will play about 60 yards longer. The clubhouse is perched above the green, and a large hill to the right will provide a natural amphitheater. The green slopes from right to left and is set at an angle. Any shot veering too far left could catch a large cypress tree.
No. 9, 449 yards, par 4: With a two-tee start, half of the field will start on this par 4 that features typical Olympic traits. The fairway bends to the right, and the turf slopes strongly to the left toward Lake Merced. The green has bunkers on each side close to the front, and a closely mown area from the middle and back portions could present more problems for errant shots.
No. 10, 424 yards, par 4: The angle on this left-to-right hole has been enhanced by moving the fairway several yards to the right, making it more likely that a tee shot could run through the fairway. The second shot will be a short iron to a green that slopes from front to back.
No. 11, 430 yard, par 4: This fairway also was shifted, to the left, to create a sharper left-to-right dogleg. Players can smash a driver here, though that could lead to a hanging lie because of the slope in the fairway. The two-tiered green slopes from back to front.

hi, I had my lips injected with Juvederm 3 weeks ago. the right side of my upper lip is not symmetric with the left side when talking. it seems as there's a space or something. I revisited the doctor 2 days ago and he re-injected some more Juvederm in the right side. there is no difference. what should I do? should he inject some more?

Asymmetric upper lip after Juvederm injection?
Either try a very little more or seek another injecting doc and pay for the new docs treatment of the area.///
Juvederm Asymmetry
It is not unusual to have a slight asymmetry after filler injections. I would recommend allowing the edema (swelling) to settle down for about 2 weeks. At that time a better assessment can be made and additional injections, massage, or wydase used to help solve the problem.

Los Angeles Unified School District administrators, counselors and new teachers gather at the Miramonte Elementary school in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2012. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes)
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The House passed a bill to allow parents to sue teachers or outside groups for promoting or condoning "gateway sexual activity" by students.
The chamber voted 68-23 in favor of the bill sponsored by Republican Rep. Jim Gotto of Nashville on Friday.
Several Democrats argued that the bill's definition of "gateway sexual activity" was too vague and could cause teachers to be disciplined for not breaking up students hugging or kissing during a high school dance.
Democratic Rep. John Deberry of Memphis came to the well of the chamber to make an impassioned defense of the bill and to condemn opponents of being arrogant and "in denial" about efforts to change the behavior that leads to teen pregnancy.
At least one Democrat had angry words for Deberry afterward.

De shared a pizza for lunch which was very good and More than enough for the two of us. Great service!
They played a very nasty game. Prices in the menu are given in USD (excl. service and taxes). When you pay they translate it into Colones using one exchange rate, add service ans taxes and then translate back to USD using another exchange rate. In total, this way they wanted me to pay 5 USD more (on a bill of...
For $8 you get a very large and tasty homemade pizza. We thought it would be a "personal" size, but definitely large enough for sharing with many fresh toppings. The pasta was also a very generous portion and freshly made. Service was friendly and good. Definitely worth going.
Although the pizza was pretty good, all our entrees were overly salty, so much so that I couldn't eat mine.
Me, my wife and one year old son had dinner here last night. Except for us, there was one other couple having dinner. We ordered pizza and penne. Preparation took relatively long and my wife's dish arrived 15 minutes after mine. We then noticed that they'd brought her the wrong dish. The correct dish arrived 10 minutes later, but contained...
We loved this place so much that we came back again the following day!
Both the focaccia and the pizza were absolutely delicious and we haven't found a place that's matched it since!
Grace was the perfect host and it was lovely to chat to her whilst we enjoyed our meal. I'd highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, we loved...
After almost a week of eating the traditional Costa Rican gallo pinto, this place was a refreshing change of pace. The restaurant was practically emptry when we got there so our service was excellent. We ordered 2 pizzas which was more than enough to feed our group of 4 people. It took a while for our food to come out,...
I honestly think the veggie pizza was the best I have EVER eaten! Delicious! Quaint place! Hope to return to Monteverde again. If so this place is a must on my list
My boyfriend and I had a lovely evening at Dikary...the pizza was delicious (the toppings and hot chili sauce are amazing!) and the service was wonderful. We will return for dates in the future!
1 soggy pizza 3 beers and 1 coke $25, the menu was in dollars and the bill colones?
We were the only customers and at London prices they deserve to be empty.
This is my second and last visit to Costa Rica as it no longer exists, it is now an overpriced American sewer.

Two more scam victims tell their tales
At least two Australians have fallen foul of a money-for-nothing scam which offers victims 10 per cent of funds transferred into their bank account.
One victim, from an eastern Australian state, said he was employed by a European company and thought he was receiving funds for sales of the company's products via web-based auctions.
"A few inquiries started warning bells ringing, but after three transfers the bank security officers notified us that we were dealing with money stolen from compromised accounts," he said.
"We have been told by the bank that we may face prosecution for money laundering. Our account has been frozen," he said via email.
The victim said he still had about $900 of someone else's money that the bank had so far not told him what he should do with.

Spongebob Squarepants
whole series review by
Kashima Kitty
Way past it's prime.
Nickelodeon's most adored show is quickly becoming it's Wesley with each passing season. You need only take a look at the DMOS pages in here to see that a lot of
Seasonal Rot
and Flanderization have made the show a shell of it's former self.
When the show first aired I was skeptical. It looked stupid, annoying and boring. But as I watched I found myself being mostly entertained by the unique bundle of characters the show had thrown together, from Spongebob's brainless and unpredictable friend Patrick, to the twisted and maniacal Plankton. Episodes were a bit random and absurd, but there was a level of cleverness that adults such as myself could appreciate. Such as the following...
Spongebob: Hey! A note! *shows a music note on the paper*
Patrick: Yea, but turn it over, there's a letter! *the letter B*
Then came the post-movie seasons. All of that was gone. The show became boring and predictable. The characters were flanderized to the point of being unlikable. Patrick in particular has not only become a total
Jerk Ass
, but so tediously predictable that I just want to bang my head on the desk knowing well in advance how he's going to ruin a particular situation. Plankton became too annoying an obnoxious, incompetent loudmouth to even feel sorry for as he now spends much of his time whining over what a failure he is. The old Plankton was aggressive and confident, what happened in this short time between seasons sandwiching the movie?
Modern episodes now fall into three categories.
Spongebob (and maybe Patrick) torment Squidward (or Mrs. Puff)
Plankton tries to steal the formula for the 50-billionth time
Mr. Krabs goes to great lengths to get money, abusing anyone in his path.
As a result the Krusty Krab is the focus of a lot of episodes. I can't honestly say the show's even child friendly anymore. Squidward in particular is often the victim of having skin RIPPED OFF as he screams in horrific agony. Nightmare faces appear frequently and karma houdini's abound. But of course, as the show that makes 2/3rds of Nickelodeon's entire budget, I get the feeling that Spongebob is here to stay indefinitely, and will continue to dominate timeslots until it's last viewer is sick of it.
I agree. I love the old episodes. The new ones have their funny moments, but something vital has gone.

What makes it even sadder is if you compare the best preseasonal rot episodes (Band Geeks is my personnal favorite) and compare it with the worst seasonal rot episode. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Sigh :-(

I agree 100%. It`s such shame, This show use to be one of my favorites, but then the writers just had to ruin it, didn't they?

marston 5th Oct 11
Spongebob was one of my favorite shows as a kid, and the older episodes are some of the only Nick cartoons that I will watch voluntarily. Now, aside from all of the episodes being predictable, I think that a problem is that the characters are too overexaggerated and flattened at the same time, so now Spongebob is predictably naive, Squidward is way too exaggerated, and so on. For some reason, I think Patrick got slightly smarter, but he became predictable at the same time, too.
Every single time I watch a newer episode it ruins a bit of my childhood... and since I consider anything that came around after the movie to be "new", that is quite a lot of episodes to ruin my childhood with. :(

Firen 7th Oct 11
All the major kids networks (which are, at least in my area, Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, and Cartoon Network) have declined in quality lately. But CN and Disney do have good shows to make fans forget the bad. CN has Adventure Time and the Thundercats reboot, Disney has Phineas and Ferb and pretty much anything not Hannah Montanna or Jonas Bros., but what does Nickelodeon have?

billyjoel42 9th Oct 11
Big Time Sellout, (Big Time Rush) !Ay Carly (iCarly), and Dried Up Sponge (Spongebob). And a bunch of other crappy live-action shows (Supah Ninjas and the Troop), plus the Winx Club revival and Milk Fu Panda: the Legends of 'Awesomeness' premiering this fall. (Kung Fu Panda series) They had Surprisingly Mediocre (Penguins), but they screwed that once they found out people liked it. Never heard a new once since.

I remember when i was a seed...The old episodes...They were clever and money and it's budget is used wisly for Funny jokes and good Character development. now Spongebob doesn't even use 1/4 of it's budget! i miss the live action jokes and the jazzy music and great plot and twists..

Frontman of the crap band named Greenday. Extememly bad guitar player, all he does is play repetivive power chords and my little sister can play what he considers his "solos". Sold out with the album American Idiot. Ugly as hell, with teenyboppers that have no taste in music or men chase after him. Greenday sucks, pop punk sucks, mtvnagers suck. It sickens me how terrible bands such as Greenday, Simple Plan, My Chemical Romance, or whatever crap get record deals and get famous, yet extremely talented players and bands that are 1000x better than them struggle to make a living.
Anyone that listens to Greenday or likes BJ needs to get a taste in music. Try listening to some Dream Theater, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Racer X, Old Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Dragonforce, Slayer, Ozzy Osbourne, Opeth, Pantera, Testament, Arch enemy, Black Label Society, Nile, SRV, etc.

Hot answers tagged web-crawlers
Banning bots is a fruitless activity. The only bots that will obey robots.txt are helpful bots like Googlebot and Bingbot. Malicious bots or even less scrupulous search services' bots will ignore your robots.txt. Banning bots is only a sure way to lose all page ranking with the major search providers AND your logs will still be full of bot traffic.
Banning bots will not let any search engine get the content of the site. Ultimately you will not rank for any keywords. It would be next to impossible to find your page on Google. You might get referral traffic but no organic traffic. Note: Robots.txt does not ban bots but ask them not to index and crawl the site. Which major search engine bot like ...
I have seen these people before and they are just what you describe. In my database, I see that they do read robots.txt, but they do not offer a bot name to block accesses to your site. This site fits my definition of a bad bot (unwanted / unappreciated). There is plenty of evidence of this to be found with a simple Google search. When in doubt, just block ...
It is likely to make your site very difficult or impossible to find in search engines, as the search engines won't send their robots to see what's on your site. They won't know what words you use so it will be hard for them to tell what searches your site might be relevant to. However it is possible your site will still be displayed in search results, ...

So there are already some answers given. For the second set, the one with the http://url in the request, these tries to find badly configured (not secured) proxy servers that could be wide open.

If your site already had 10 million pages indexed, I would say double-check that your site is crawlable and a sitemap is submitted through Google Webmaster Tools. Google does prefer sitemaps for larger sites such as yours. It takes time for Google to notice changes sometimes especially if there is a major change with a ton of pages. It can take as much as ...
You could try and promote the site a bit more and get more inbound links, and/or ensure that your server can cope with a bigger crawl.

The best way to think about it is that the number of pages that we crawl is roughly proportional to your ...
What are spiders trying to achieve on my site by fetching lots of non-existant urls such as various versions of phpMyAdmin?
Okay. Most of these access (at least) are landscaping attempts to find potential vulnerabilities on your server.

The second set may be a result of forged request headers but still likely to be landscaping- not ...
