|Food limitation and low-density populations of sympatric hamster species in North China

|body condition; Cricetulus barabensis; density-dependent food restriction; population dynamics; Tscherskia triton
|Although food has been proposed as a possible factor on population regulation of small mammals, evidence of food restriction in field conditions is still lacking. Food restriction is generally thought to occur in high-density years of oscillating populations of small mammals. By using two body condition indices (muscle protein concentration and cleaned carcass index), we investigated variations of body condition of the greater long-tailed hamster (Tscherskia triton) and the striped hamster (Cricetulus barabensis) in the Raoyang County of the North China Plain during a population decline- and low-phase from 1998 to 2003. Our laboratory experiments showed that food restriction reduced muscle protein concentration and cleaned carcass index of greater long-tailed hamster. We found there were significant differences in body condition of hamsters over the six years. Both the muscle protein concentration and cleaned carcass index of T. triton were significantly and positively correlated with its yearly trap successes, which reflected yearly population densities. Muscle protein concentration of C. barabensis was positively correlated with the total yield of the wheat. This observation supported the hypothesis on the in-phase relation between food resources or availability and rodent abundances. During the four seasons, muscle protein concentration of two species was highest in autumn, and lowest in summer. These two body condition indices of wild T. triton in summer and in low phases were similar to 60% food restricted animals raised in the laboratory, but significantly lower than nonfood-restricted animals. Our results indicated that malnutrition occurred in summer when food was not abundant, and in low density years with low grain production (an index reflecting food abundance of rodents) in our study region. Therefore, we concluded that food limitation may play an important role in seasonal and inter-annual population fluctuation of these two hamster species.

Another Tim Eyman Initiative Coming Your Way in 2013
Chances are pretty good that another Tim Eyman initiative will be on next year's ballot. It's been under the radar and has gotten little scrutiny. Initiative 517 - called the "Protect the Initiative Act" is an initiative to the Legislature. It's basic provisions are to extend the time allowed to collect signatures by an extra six months, make it a misdemeanor to interfere or harass signature gatherers, allow more local initiatives and prevent pre-election legal challenges to initiatives. The deadline to collect signatures and turn them in is January 3rd, 2013.
Eyman filed I-517 on May 4th, 2012 and quietly piggybacked it on his I-1185 campaign signature gathering efforts. As noted in the Tacoma News Tribune on September 6, 2012, a complaint was filed with the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission charging that as a result of this piggybacking, I-517 illegally used money intended to pay for Eyman's I-1185 signatures. The TNT noted that "Through July alone, the campaign picked up 144,000 signatures …" of some 320,000 required by Jan 3, 2013. To date the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has not acted publicly on this complaint. One can well argue that this is a self serving initiative to benefit Tim Eyman and his initiative business. It is special interest legislation that would give Eyman the ability to do more initiative campaigns and at a lower cost. That is hardly what Washington State needs – more Eyman initiatives.
According to the most recent Public Disclosure Commission reports, Eyman has raised no money to fund this initiative. Instead he reports that all the signature gathering to date paid for has been in kind donations by others. The bulk of the money spent in kind has been by an out of state conservative foundation called – Citizens in Charge out of Lakeridge, VA. To date they have donated in kind some $168,806.38 out of a total of $305,454 reported in kind total. Here is a breakdown of reported in kind donations from the PDC reports.
Citizens in Charge, Lakeridge, VA – $168, 806.38
People's Petitioning, Edmonds, WA – $42,712
First Amendment, LLC, Olympia, WA – $7267.50
The remainder of the money, some $86,305 is now listed as individual in kind donations, mostly by paid signature gatherers. This is Eyman's attempt to get around the complaint that signature gatherers for I-1185 subsidized signature gathering for I-517. The problem is, if you read some of the e-mails involved, that appears to be a big question. Paid signature gatherers for I-1185 were told among other things that they had to also get signatures for I–517 or they would be fired. Here is that part of the story as reported by the Tacoma News Tribune:
The PDC is investigating whether I-517 illegally used part of the money intended for I-1185.
That's what's alleged by critics such as Rick Walther. The Auburn signature gatherer says he was fired for refusing to reduce payments to his subcontractors for I-1185 signatures unless they also collected for I-517.
He said he and other gatherers were expected to take the money out of what had already been promised to them for the business-backed measure.
"All this money's still coming from 1185," Walther said of the arrangements. "There's no new money for 517. They're just moving funds around."
The campaign denies using any money from I-1185 – instead leaning on petitioners' interest in the topic to drive a volunteer effort. …
Directing the I-517 effort is Edward Agazarm, nicknamed "Eddie Spaghetti," a fixture of Washington's voter-petition industry.
His emails don't exactly make it sound like a volunteer effort.
"If you don't bring in equal numbers you are fired," Agazarm wrote to another signature-gathering contractor, in what critics say is an order to collect a voter signature on I-517 for every signature petitioners were paid to collect on I-1185.
"Every petitioner in the state should get free SIGNATURES ON IT or else they should be fired, then stoned to death in a public square," he said in another email.
So one has to ask why the PDC has not yet acted on this complaint with formal charges of some sort or referred the matter to the State Attorney General for more severe action than the PDC can impose. The e-mails are pretty explicit that paid signature gatherers were coerced into collecting signatures for I-517 in order to be paid for I-1185 signatures. Will Eyman once again just get a slap on the wrist and continue on his merry way carrying on his initiative mill that helps pay his personal bills or will the PDC act forcefully by referring this matter to the Washington State Attorney General?
Here is more specific information on I-517:

Initiative Measure No. 517 concerns initiative and referendum measures.This measure would set penalties for interfering with or retaliating against signature-gatherers and petition-signers; require that all measures receiving sufficient signatures appear on the ballot; and extend time for gathering initiative petition signatures.Should this measure be enacted into law? Yes [ ] No [ ]Ballot Measure Summary
This measure would define terms concerning interfering with or retaliating against petition-signers and signature-gatherers, and would make such conduct a criminal misdemeanor and subject to anti-harassment laws. The measure would require that all state and local measures receiving enough signatures be placed on the ballot, limiting pre-election legal challenges. The measure would also extend the time for filing initiatives and gathering signatures from ten to sixteen months before the election when the vote would occur.View Complete Text
Wisconsin Supreme Court Race Bodes Ill for Washington State
Last week a conservative Supreme Court candidate named Annette Ziegler won election to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. A record amount of spending occurred by both candidates and third parties in a nasty negative campaign. Sound familiar?
According to an opinion entitled "Campaigns Badly Need Cleaning Up" by The Capital Times of Madison, Wisconsin, Ziegler
"was a candidate who spent most of the past year orchestrating one of the most negative judicial campaigns in Wisconsin history, starting with a vicious letter authored by former Lt. Gov. Margaret Farrow and ending with a barrage of TV spots that depicted her opponent as a know-nothing "zero."
An out-of-state outfit called the Club for Growth pumped $250,000 into Ziegler's primary campaign alone to underwrite attack ads on Ziegler's behalf, and even the public relations firm that engineered the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth's slimy campaign against John Kerry in 2004 got involved on her side.
And none of this counts the onslaught by Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, the experts in negative campaigning, that piled on Ziegler's opponent, Linda Clifford, for the better part of three months."
In a separate article it is noted that besides the $1.7 million spent by the two candidates
"The race saw unprecedented spending by third parties. Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, the state's largest business lobby, spent $1.45 million on ads supporting Ziegler and criticizing Clifford, according to Clifford's campaign. "
So is it any surprise that today a group of legislators in Wisconsin started circulating for co-sponsors a bill for public financing of state campaigns?
Any of this sound even more familiar now? Last year Washington went through a similar attack by the Building Industry Association of Washington and out of state money to try to elect right wing ideologues to the Washington State Supreme Court. We also saw record spending by special interests. We fared much better than Wisconsin but unfortunately the Washington State Legislature has done nothing to address the expected impact of large amounts of independent expenditures in future elections when the public is over the shock impact of last year's races.
The Washington State Legislature this session has chosen to ignore public financing for judicial races as well as other state wide races. The reason is mainly that Legislators are also the recipients of large contributions spent by independent PAC's in their own races. Speaker of the House Frank Chopp visualizes how such unlimited independent expenditures can be used to benefit his Democratic agenda and further solidify his caucus numbers. Republicans see it as their way back into power in the future.
They have however chosen to ignore the fact that we now have two separate and unequal campaign finance structures set up in our state that discriminate against the average citizen contributor. By limiting individual contributions directly to a candidate's campaign committee, while allowing unlimited contributions by special interest groups, individuals and out of state funders to so called "independent PAC's", candidates lose control of their own campaigns and can be vastly outspent by outside interests.
One simple solution to end this segregated campaign system is to extend the present $1400 contribution limit per election for donations to major statewide candidate campaign committees, including Supreme Court Justices, to all campaign committees supporting or opposing a candidate. Whether given directly to the candidate or indirectly to a PAC, everyone is limited to the same $1400 contribution to support or oppose a candidate in a campaign.
The other solution to try to limit special interest mega-spending is to enact public financing for campaigns. Washington Public Campaigns attempted do this with a strong grassroots push to get the Washington State Legislature to pass legislation like Arizona and Maine have for all statewide candidates and North Carolina has for State Supreme Court races. Governor Gregoire supported a trial program for Supreme Court and Appellate Court races. The Washington State Legislature held hearings but ultimately passed nothing.

Thousands of people in Nigeria's Delta state have gathered in the provincial capital to witness a local rebel leader accept a government amnesty.Government Tompolo arrived in the city of Warri on Sunday after pledging his support for Umaru Yar'Adua, the president, in return for an unconditional pardon.
Tompolo was one of the leaders of the Federated Niger Delta Ijaw Communities (FNDIC), which was responsible for shutting down a large amount of oil output from the western delta in 2003."We came because we want peace," Chief Andrew Anegba, a traditional Ijaw ethnic community leader, said as he waited for Tompolo at Warri airport.
"The last militant groups are giving up arms, and that means peace is coming back."Surrender
Tompolo was the latest rebel leader to accept the amnesty deal, which was originally offered in June, before it expires at midnight on Sunday.
He arrived in Warri by presidential jet, accompanied by Timi Alaibe, Yar'Adua's adviser on Niger Delta matters, after signing the amnesty in Abuja.
"If they refuse to develop our region we will go back to the creeks"
Ateke Tom, leader of the Niger Delta Vigilante
"Today is the greatest day for Nigeria," Tompolo said as he stepped off the plane.
Two other commanders from the eastern delta laid down their arms a day earlier, on Saturday.Farah Dagogo, a senior rebel commander, surrendered his weapons in the oil city of Port Harcourt.
"I Farah Dagogo, overall field commander for the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta [Mend] accept together with field commanders in Rivers state, the presidential offer of amnesty to militants who lay down their weapons," he said.
"We are surrendering all weapons under our direct control." Ateke Tom, the leader of the ethnic Ijaw Niger Delta Vigilante group, and around 5,000 of his fighters handed over their weapons at a ceremony on a beach in the city. But he warned that his fighters would resume attacks if authorities fail to make good on a pledge to invest in the delta.
"If they refuse to develop our region we will go back to the creeks," he said. New campaignMend, which dismissed the amnesty as a charade, said it has replaced its military command.
"All commanders have been replaced ... and the next phase of our campaign will commence soon," it said in a statement.
Henry Okah, the group's leader, who was freed in July as part of a government amnesty deal offered to the rebels after treason charges against him were dropped, said unrest was likely to continue in the region because the root cause of the violence had not been addressed.The rebels, who say they are fighting for a fairer distribution of the region's wealth, launched repeated attacks on oil infrastructure and government forces across the delta causing a slump in production.Despite Nigeria's oil riches, the vast majority of its 140 million people live on $2 a day or less, and some of the most acute poverty is in the villages of the delta. Daily oil production has slipped to 1.7 million barrels per day from 2.6 million in January 2006 in Africa's top producer.

We were greeted by growling Alsatian and slightly odd owner. Room basic and location convenient to railway station but owner caused me and my young child to miss our train to Toulouse as he was not there at time arranged for us to collect our bags. When the owner finally arrived back he refused to hurry to get our bags and also refused to give us a lift to the station very close by which would have allowed us to just make the train which had been delayed. One of our most unpleasant experiences in a 3 month trip.

There are only 30 days until the London Olympic Games begin and I am so excited. I literally become an Olympic Junkie throughout the games, I'll watch anything and everything as I cheer my heart out for Team USA. However, there is one sport that I must watch and I'm very into…Gymnastics. Many of the greatest moments and highlights stem from my time with Gymnastics, coaching and competing.
With only five spots available on the team I'm here to make my prediction before the Olympic Trials this weekend:
Jordyn Weiber
Gaby Douglas
Aly Raisman
McKayla Maroney
Kyla Ross
Alternate: Sarah Finnegan/Alicia Sacramone
In the past 8 years (since I stopped competing) I can't believe how much the sport has grown and how much these athletes push their bodies. It's incredible and I can't wait to cheer on Team USA!
How about you? Are you an Olympic Junkie? What do you love to watch?

Tajikistan and the global financial crisis - Central Asia News Afghanistan Kazakhstan Kyrgyzstan Uzbekistan Tajikistan Turkmenistan-Sports Business and Entertainment
Bakhtiyor Davlat
DUSHANBE, Oct. 15—The global financial crisis will not directly affect Tajikistan's economy or banking sector, though there are still risks, local economic experts believe. Tajikistan may see a drop in activity by foreign investors, as well as a rise in food and energy prices.
Tajik Minister of Economics and Trade Gulom Bobozoda expressed this view on Oct. 14 at a meeting of economic experts on the influence of the situation in world financial markets on the Tajik economy. "Our financial system is not strongly tied to the global system, but globalisation, slowed economic growth and trade in developed countries and a drop in demand for our exports may affect the stability of the Tajik economy, since we are a very open country, and our volume of foreign trade exceeds GDP," he said.
"What's more, a drop in business activity in Russia may lead to a reduced flow of monetary transfers from Tajik migrant workers there. There is, however, reason for optimism thanks to the influence of the nearly $2 trillion dollars [USD] that the U.S. and other governments have injected into the world financial system," Bobozoda said.
International financial relations director of the Tajik National Bank Zebo Fatkhiddinova noted that there is no basis for concern about the stability of the domestic banking system. "Domestic banks have no capital in foreign financial institutions, and the share of foreign capital in our banking system is insignificant," she said. According to her figures, Foreign investment in the country was $196 million as of the start of 2008.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

As an outsider (I am brazilian, living in Brazil), it is not surprising to see people's desagreement about economics plans. After all, there is almost as much (good) economic theories as there is good economists!
Actually tax cut is also an economic stimulus package, but the effect is quite limited .
Cutting taxes may not prevent recession because:
1. People may save tax cuts. The savings ratios is very low (close to 0%). Therefore, with low confidence, people may not spend a tax cut, but use it to pay off debts or increase their savings. Therefore, consumer spending may not increase.
2. Other Factors May Outweigh tax cuts. A cut in income tax may increase spending. However, this positive effect may be outweighed by the decline in house prices and the consequent negative wealth effect. Alternatively, the difficulties of borrowing in the credit crunch may keep investment low. To overcome the economic slowdown may require a very large fiscal stimulus.
3. Crowding Out. Expansionary fiscal policy leads to higher government borrowing. To finance the growing national debt, bond interest rates may be forced upwards. This can put upward pressure on interest rates and therefore reduce consumer spending. (This is known as financial crowding out)
4. Also government borrowing may cause resource crowding out. If the government borrows, it borrows from the private sector. Therefore, although the government spend more, the private sector have less to spend and invest.
5. Government borrowing is already understrain with high levels of National debt. Therefore, governments are limited in their ability to pursue expansionary fiscal policy. In the UK, the government have just broken their own rules on national debt. Expansionary fiscal policy would increase public debt even more.

Updated: June 29, 2011 12:21AM
Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez asked the Illinois State Police on Thursday to investigate the Chicago Police Department's handling of a homicide case involving Richard J. "R.J." Vanecko, who's a nephew of Mayor Daley and White House Chief of Staff William Daley.
"I think there should be an independent police investigation," Alvarez said.
She pointed to a series of stories in the Chicago Sun-Times this month that raised questions about the police investigation into the violent death of David Koschman seven years ago.
Earlier this month, the police closed the case after taking a second look into what happened. They decided that Vanecko acted in self-defense when he punched Koschman in the face, knocking the 21-year-old from Mount Prospect backward to the street during a drunken confrontation near Rush Street in the early-morning hours of April 25, 2004.
According to detectives' reports, witnesses including four Koschman friends described the 5-foot-5, 140-pound Koschman as being physically aggressive toward the 6-foot-3, 230-pound Vanecko and a group of Vanecko's friends.
In interviews with the Sun-Times, Koschman's friends denied that that's what they told the police. And all told the police earlier this year they would take lie-detector tests if asked.
"I would welcome an independent agency looking into this, like the state police,'' Alvarez said, "basically to determine if it was a complete investigation and whether the witnesses' statements were accurately recorded . . . I'm unaware of the police department doing anything underhanded."
The police have said they initially ended their investigation of the case in 2004 without filing charges because no witness could positively identify Vanecko in a police lineup held 25 days after Koschman was punched on Division Street at Dearborn.
One of Koschman's friends, Scott Allen, told the Sun-Times and NBC5 that he was next to Koschman when he got punched and that, despite what the police say, he believes he did pick Vanecko out of a lineup.
After reinvestigating the case starting in January, the police formally closed the case March 1, again without seeking charges. This time, they said they determined that Vanecko punched Koschman but acted in self-defense.
Alvarez, in a letter Thursday evening to Patrick Keen, the interim director of the Illinois State Police, noted the discrepancy between what Allen says and what the police said he told them.
"According to new information brought to my attention, some witnesses now suggest that the versions of events attributed to them in CPD reports from 2004 were not accurate, including one witness who now claims that his observations during one of the lineups conducted were not accurately memorialized in police reports," Alvarez wrote. "To be clear, at this point, I have no objective evidence to support the notion that there was any misfeasance or malfeasance on the part of investigators in this case. However, with this new information, it is my belief that an independent investigation from a separate police agency is clearly warranted to ensure that we reach the truth in this case."
Although Keen is interim superintendent of the Illinois State Police, the decision on whether to accept Alvarez's request might not fall to him. On Tuesday, Sun-Times columnist Michael Sneed reported that Alvarez's deputy chief of investigations, Hiram Grau, is leaving that post to become the new state police superintendent. Grau is a former deputy superintendent with the Chicago Police Department, where he served for 28 years, leaving in 2008.
It's not clear whether the state police have jurisdiction to do what Alvarez is asking.
Alvarez, who held the No. 3 spot in the prosecutor's office in 2004, under State's Attorney Richard Devine, said she does not believe that Vanecko was treated any differently by her office than any other crime suspect is treated.
"I can't speak for the Chicago Police Department, but I can tell you from our office that we handled this like we would handle any other case," Alvarez said. "It doesn't matter who you are. If the facts are there and we can prove a case, we will bring it forward."
She said that, although the police closed the case March 1 without consulting her office, she has reviewed detectives' official reports and also their so-called street files and thinks the department made the correct decision not to seek charges even after concluding that Vanecko punched Koschman, who suffered a brain injury when he fell and died 11 days later.
"I don't believe we have good faith and a legal basis to bring charges," she said.
Explaining why she is turning to the Illinois State Police, Alvarez said, "It would be a much cleaner investigation if it was somebody who hasn't been involved in the case."
Alvarez said prosecutors didn't charge Vanecko when detectives consulted with her office in 2004 because the police said none of the six witnesses could "positively identify" Vanecko in a lineup, and that police reports all indicate that Koschman was "physically aggressive," based on detectives' interviews with Koschman's friends and the two bystanders.
Asked whether she should have brought the case to a grand jury this time to decide whether to file charges, Alvarez said there isn't enough evidence to ask a grand jury to indict anyone.
"Before we take something to the grand jury, we have to have a good-fatih basis that a crime occurred and that the person we are seeking a true bill of indictment for did it," Alvarez said. "We're not there at this point. It would be unethical for me to go to a grand jury at this point. I don't know if there was a crime committed here based on the facts we have. It could be justifiable."

Thank you!
The Institute of Buddhist Studies would like to thank all the panelists, participants, and guests who made the 2010 Buddhism Without Borders Conference such a wonderful success!
Buddhism without Borders: Contemporary Developments of Buddhism in the West
at the Institute of Buddhist Studies
Berkeley, California
March 18 - 21, 2010
Panel III: Transnational Buddhisms, 2:00 - 5:00
Buddhism and Multiple Modernities
David McMahan, Franklin & Marshall College
The paradigm of multiple modernities critiques the dominant theorization of modernity put forth by many of the classic social theorists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Marx, Weber, Durkheim and many others predicted that a singular western modernity would sweep through the globe in unilinear fashion, displacing local cultures, and remaking the world in the image of Western Europe and North America. This—say the proponents of multiple modernities—has not, in fact, happened. While western modernity has transformed the world in countless ways, non-western cultures have not simply been passive recipients, remaking themselves in the image of the West. Rather, they have deployed the resources of modernity in culturally particular ways, some of which resist western forms of modernity and assert indigenous, culturally particular modernities. Especially as recent history unfolds, we see uniquely Asian modernities that fail to conform to the earlier supposition of uniformity, standardization, and secularization typical of western Europe.
I would like to suggest that this paradigm is a useful way to examine the modern history of Buddhism and that, though it is becoming even more relevant in recent decades, it even applies to early Buddhist modernism. Over a century ago, two of the early founders of Buddhist modernism, Anagarika Dharmapala and Soen Shaku, both deployed uniquely modern discourses—scientific rationalism, Transcendentalism, and Protestantism—to assert the universality of Buddhism and its compatibility with science and other religions, as well as to assert the particularity of their respective nations, races, and Buddhism itself. More recently, there have been renewed efforts to ally Buddhism with science (the ultimate modernist, universalizing discourse), as well as assert cultural particularity, indigenous identities, and nationalism in places like Tibet and Burma. In a different vein, phenomena like the Thai amulet trade and the emergence of religious tourism illustrate the intertwining of global capitalism with more traditional conceptions of religious power inhering in material objects and sacred sites. Of late, some Buddhists have developed the confidence to resist the earlier need to identify the Dharma with science or to accommodate it to modern western mores and individualism. Some re-assert more traditional ways of being Buddhist, yet use modern technology and conceptual categories to promote it. Socially engaged Buddhism also adopts political and human rights language from the West but uses it to in service of highly particular, local communities.
These and other examples suggest that contemporary globalizing Buddhisms do not find themselves caught between opposing exclusive tendencies—universalization and particularization, globalization and localization, modern and traditional—but rather, deploy both together, often in ways unique to particular localities or traditions. Theorizing modern and contemporary Buddhism in terms of multiple modernities can help to nuance the complex relationships between the universalizing and particularizing tendencies of Buddhism in the modern and contemporary world.

Both characters are fun to play as and keeping them both charged is a lot of work with all the weather changes.
Overall the game plays like Castlevania would if it was set up in a Legend of zelda like game. There are almost no puzzles to speak of so if you want a straight up action RPG you can't ask to much more from this title.
I would ballpark the game at around 7-9 hours long depending on how much time you spend leveling up and upgrading you weapons. This game is a definite rent if not a purchase.
Very Good
Great action RPG game

The game also includes some nice animated cutscenes with some addition of not-so-great voice acting. Weather and time changes throughout the game and you have the top screen to see it. Weather changes affect certain areas which you will need to progress but you'll learn more when you play. All the action is at the bottom touch screen. The game does make some use of the touch screen only when you use a "super" and you'll be instructed on what to do to decimate your enemies.
The bad thing about this game is the way the levels are staged. The game is staged diagonally. This was a problem for me because the DS's D-pad is not great for diagonal directions. You will have to be very careful when crossing narrow paths and getting on flying platforms. The game is also short and somewhat easy. The characters gain experience from killing enemies and level up then you distribute their stat points to 3 different categories. Sometimes you'll find yourself too low for the next dungeon so you will have to go back to the last dungeon and grind until you are at the minimum level or you've just killed too many people and the game gets too easy.
Above all, this game rocks!

I enjoyed the need to change the climate in order to get to some treasures and complete missions. I did not, however, enjoy having to leave each dungeon in order to do that. That was quite tedious, especially during my crusade through Castle Auguste. The cell phone helps get you out when you're mired deep in a dungeon but it won't help you get back in. That's the annoying part. You have to fight your way back. Oh well, consider it an opportunity to gain experience in order to "level up".
The only downsides that I can think of are the lack of quests independent from the storyline and the fairly linear way the game progressed. There was a list for quests but mine was blank. Perhaps that was an aspect of the game that I missed or misunderstood. As far as game play, I felt that I found most necessary items (keys, treasures, weapons) a bit too easily. I really expected to have to search for a while.
For what its worth, I had a lot of fun playing this game and would recommend it highly.
P.S. Another reviewer noted the diagonal layout of the game screens. I found that the game allows you to change the direction of your d-pad by about 45°, making it easier to move in a straight line. Instead of moving straight up by pressing up, you can go "up and left" by pressing up on the d-pad. This really came in handy during one of the puzzles.

An Excellent Sequel To the Boktai Series.

Since the game centers around hunting vampires and monsters, night and day plays a very important role. In the original Boktai games you sometimes were required to play in the day out in the sun and other times you were required to play at night inside. This proved difficult for players to play due to the fact that the TFT reflective display of the GBA typically turned extremely dark in sunlight.
Gone is the solar sensor of the GBA years and the Boktai name with it. The replacement is the top screen, since it emulates the sun, moon, clouds, and the weather. Using the top screen helps keep the original idea intact without making the game difficult to play to to issues outside of the player's hands. Lunar Nights takes all of the original Boktai's excellent formula of meshing Castlevania, Zelda and Metal Gear into one cohesive and excellent title. With two swappable characters, and an easy to use stat and fight system, the game shines in gameplay. The game even features amazing CGI anime cutscenes that are entirely dubbed with great dialogue by somewhat talented voice actors.
It's an excellent game and is one of the first great games in the junior year of the DS. If this is a sign of how much 2007 is going to rock than I'm pretty excited for this year.

Straightforward with a couple quirks
posted by dasilodavi (WATERTOWN, MA) Jun 16, 2008
Member since Jan 2006
The main quirk is the day/night mechanic. You play two characters, one uses lunar energy and one use solar energy. So at any given time, energy is readily available for one guy. Closely tied into that are the spirits. When you beat a boss you get a new elemental spirit. Enemies have affinities, so attacking them with the right element causes more damage (and all enemies come color-coded for your convenience). Some hidden areas are accessible only by using the right element.
Then there's the weather. Some puzzles are solvable by changing the climate, while some climates block the sun/moon and deprive you of a major energy source. You get new climates by, that's right, killing bosses.
There's also "weapon enhancement." Basically you collect scrap materials, and when you get enough you can bump your weapon's attack. You get a few different weapons in the game (guns for the sun guy, melee for the dark dude), but nothing really beats the sword. I could've done without the gun guy for a lot of the game.
The space battles are a way of making the touch screen not totally useless. You tap to shoot and drag to dodge. that's about it.
Throw in some items, a passable storyline, some cut-scenes and some decent voice work and you've got Lunar Knights. It's not the next Castlevania, but it's amusing enough.
Bottom line: it's an isometric hack-and-slash with some quirks. Worth the rent, might be worth the buy if it grabs you.

Megan wants to keep her BF happy. She brings him to help pick out bikinis, so he can choose the one that looks sexiest on her juicy tits. Seeing her in that see-thru suit gets him so horny he just has to rail her Latina pussy that very minute.

When you got a hot biddy like Megan sunning right under your balcony, how are you not supposed to look? She just broke up with her BF, so she needs to have some fun. Levi jumps on her sweet ass, and like a nice amateur slut she lets him film it all.

Guy wanted to get back at his ex, so he sent us this little tape they made at a resort. They were fooling around outside, with Daisy being a big slut and flashing her juicy ass, then they ran back up to the room where this ho got her first anal fuck!
Who put the squirt guns in the hands of these college sluts? They bet the bros they were partying with they'd come out on top in a water gun battle. Once they were done getting their tits hosed down, they ripped down to the hotel room for a wild fuck...
My whole crew was packing up for a cruise when Kiara came out the bedroom wearing the smallest bikini on her big Southern booty. Belle and Janice joined in, showing off their juicy butts and kicking off a nasty orgy by sucking off me and my buddy.

This hottie missed her bus and was running mad late. Guy we know picked her up and was nice enough to bring her there, long as she gave him a ride too. Once they started banging, this amateur slut turned into a crazy cock-hungry skank!

It was a tough Saturday around western New York if you were a squirrel. With the season ending on February 29, many hunters were hitting the woods as relatively mild temperatures and a welcome break from snow made for a nice outing. Prostaffers (above, LtoR) Mark Deboard, Steve Upham and Jason Douglas grabbed their Benjamin Marauders and made for the hardwoods in search of grays, reds and even made time for a little crow hunting.
Mark and Jason were shooting the .25 caliber version, with Jason's gun sporting a custom stock in Realtree™ camo. Steve's go-to gun is the Marauder .22 and has wrapped it in camo tape for a low profile in the woods.
Looks like they have plenty of game for a few squirrel recipes!

Grade A tin,
LME-grade tin,
tin premiums,
NEW YORK Delivered premiums for Grade A tin remained unchanged over the past two weeks, as market players reported steady to subdued demand. It seems like theres plenty of material around, one tin alloy producer told AMM. Despite reports of some difficulties getting material into the Port of New York and New Jersey, market players in the region said that theyre having no problems meeting customer demand. Minimal transactions were reported over the past two weeks, leaving delivered premiums for Grade A tin in the existing trading range of $600 to $750 per tonne. However, one tin consumer reported receiving quotes for low purity Grade A tin at premiums as low as $425 per tonne. However, no transactions were reported at that price level. Early negotiations for next years material suggest that premiums will likely be on par with current spot levels, sources said. The suggestion that material might be limited heading into the new year had premiums poised to rise heading into 2013, but sources said that lackluster demand over the last few weeks may continue or even worsen next year. The feeling that Im getting from (customers) is that they may be looking at a slowdown on buying, the first alloy producer said. A second alloy producer said that their negotiations for 2013 material are about $50 to $100 above last years contract premiums and comparable with current spot levels. Everybodys always pushing for higher. But a lot of people are pushing for lower, too, the trader said. The tin market remained in a backwardation on the London Metal Exchange Monday, with three-month tin closing at $20,500 per tonne compared with cash tin at $20,575 per tonne in official trading on the LME.

Whether a purist or a novice, playing bocce ball has one key attraction – bringing people together.
The start of the village of Elmwood Park Recreation Department's Adult Bocce League began July 10 at Centennial Park, 7600 W. Armitage Ave., attracting players of the game along with spectators. It was the start of league competition at the park's two bocce ball courts, which will last until Aug. 28.
Elmwood Park Deputy Police Chief Andrew Hock showed up to participate as part of the Quattro Formoggi (Four Cheeses) team. He said he'd never played, but did pretty well in the first round of play, the team losing by one point to its opponents.
"I've never played, but anybody can do this," he said.
Mike Ciancio, organizer of the league for the park district, said it's not about competition, but more about using the facilities and having fun.
Bocce is played with eight large balls and one smaller ball called a "pallina." There are four balls per team and they are made of a different color or pattern to distinguish the ball of one team from another. The game begins with the toss of a coin to determine who has first toss of the pallina.
The pallina is rolled by one of the winners of the toss and then the bigger ball is thrown as close as possible to it in order to begin play. Each team gets four balls.
Teams score points based on how close the bigger balls they use come to the pallina after everyone on the team gets a throw. The first to reach a designated number of points, usually 16, wins.
Lodean Fisher, 52, who lives a few blocks from the park, remembers growing up watching older men play the game.
"Me and my cousin would watch my grandfather play on 74th Avenue and Diversey Avenue," she said.
As a child she was just a spectator, but today she is a player.
"It's just nostalgia because we weren't allowed to play when we were little," Fisher said. "The old men would say, 'Go away, go away.' It was very intense."
To some degree, the evening of July 10 play was a bit intense as well, with teammates congratulating each other and oohs and aahs filling the park when a good roll was made.
Elmwood Park Village President Angelo "Skip" Saviano said the game can become pretty competitive.
"Some of these old-timers are very good," he said.
Mark Mattio, 61, who plays on the All Bocch't Up team, said he's played for a few years, but the July 10 tournament was all about coming together.
"Camaraderie — that's what it's all about," he said. "You get out there and give it your best shot. It's all about having fun."
And fun they did, with fans of the game bringing out the barbecue grill and snacks while spreading blankets on the lawn and drinking refreshments.
Elmwood Park resident Mike Jaeger, 42, who walked from his home on Fullerton Avenue to the park, said it is nice weather days and events like this that bring the community together.
"It's great for the neighborhood," he said. "It makes people talk to each other. A lot of the time people are too busy to get to know their neighbor. Now they can get to know their neighbor."
