NBN direct link-ups for 2.5m premisesPUBLISHED: 21 Sep 2013 00:33:06 | UPDATED: 22 Sep 2013 11:35:24PUBLISHED: 20 Sep 2013 PRINT EDITION: 21 Sep 2013
James Hutchinson
At least 2.5 million homes and businesses are set to receive direct fibre connections under contracts NBN Co signed before the federal election, despite Coalition plans to change the rollout.
A draft updated corporate plan submitted by NBN Co to the federal government in late June, and seen by The Australian Financial Review, revealed the company had signed $5.4 billion worth of contracts for construction, equipment and civil works to connect homes to the national broadband network's fibre footprint, covering 1.8 million existing premises.
The plan did not cover $580 million in contracts subsequently signed or renewed with Leightons subsidiary Silcar and Downer EDI, which is believed to increase that figure to at least 2.5 million homes and businesses.
Newly installed communications minister Malcolm Turnbull has promised to change the NBN rollout to connect fibre cabling to nodes on street corners, rather than directly to homes, under the government's plan to build the network more cheaply and quickly.
The $20.5 billion plan would see 22 per cent or approximately 2.8 million homes and businesses receive direct fibre connections by 2019, with other metropolitan homes receiving fibre-to-the-node connections.
The majority of homes receiving direct fibre connections would be in new housing developments and areas where the copper wiring is deemed too poor to deliver fast broadband speeds.
A spokesman for Mr Turnbull said the Coalition government would honour contracts signed by NBN Co before the election but did not rule potential renegotiations where possible.
"The history of the NBN Co's forecasting has been extremely poor with targets downgraded at every iteration of their corporate plan," the spokesman said. "That is why we intend to make changes to the board and the senior management who will then prepare a strategic review of the business and a new corporate plan incorporating realistic and achievable forecasts."
The spokesman said the government was open to increasing the number of homes receiving fibre connections where it is cost effective to do so. However, NBN Co said that in order to meet its forecast figure of at least 1.8 million homes, it would need to speed up construction by 75 per cent over the next year in order to pass the forecast number of homes and complete 2740 homes and businesses per day by June 2014.
It said the targets would depend on contractors' ability to scale up construction on the network.
The main construction companies building the network have to date struggled to meet their targets, leading to Lend Lease-Service Stream joint venture Syntheo pulling out of the project altogether and NBN Co assuming control of build in the Northern Territory.
In March, the company also heavily downgraded its rollout forecasts, eventually passing 205,000 homes with fibre optic cabling on June 30 this year, rather than the 341,000 originally forecast last year.
Independent telecommunications analyst Chris Coughlan said NBN Co's forecasts would likely change the mix of technologies the Coalition plans to use in its slimmed-down network, but that it would not change its policy.
"There's always been a question mark over NBN Co meeting their construction targets because they keep changing their numbers. Then they fail to meet the revised targets," he said.
However, he said the Coalition had a big task to make NBN Co's construction efforts more efficient.

Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 420 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Onenight2013 My one night stay in Brooklyn I stay at the Sheraton in Puerto two months before staying at the Sheraton in Brooklyn. It was awesome, the staff was excellent. So because of that I decide to book my stay in Brooklyn, and too my surprise. The same warm greeting I received in San Juan was extended to me in Brooklyn. Sheraton is now my hotel of choices, great job. Please keep up the good work, it's very important too us when we are received with a warm and delightful attitude December 21, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by tph123 Stay Jan 16th I had another bad experience at the hotel. I checked in at 6:00 pm. The room was at 72 degrees. I lowered the thermostat to 65 degrees. I left the room at 6:30 and returned at 9:30 to find the room still at 72. I called the desk and was told someone would be right up. I made 3 more calls and someone showed up at 11:15 pm. It took 1:45 mins for someone to show up only to tell me that the unit was broken and that they could change my room to a different floor or I could open the window & put the bathroom fan on. I didn't want to pack up my room & go down to the lobby to get another room since I had to get up at 5:30 & was checking out at 6:30. This is not the first time I had problems with the temp controls in this hotel and don't understand why when the hotel is only about 2-3 years old. I will also say that the restaurant service is very slow. January 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by felix46 Good location Overall I was happy with my stay at the Sheraton. I was expecting a little bit nicer rooms for the price, but I had intended to go outside for most of my stay anyway. The bed was very comfortable and the front desk workers were helpful and quickly answered any questions I had. July 28, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by DMI14 Not what I expected We were there for our wedding night and had booked a 1 bedroom suite and when we arrived we were told our room was downgraded because of AC issues. We encountered drunk rowdy people on our floor and the people next door to us were in and out all night and slammed their door everytime waking us continuously. It was not the experience I wanted to have on my wedding night! June 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lulu42 Great access to attractions in Brooklyn and Manhatten The hotel is nicely updated, attractive and modern. There is a comfortable although small seating area in the lobby. The biggest criticism is the terrible food and service in the restaurant. We had one breakfast and one evening meal and they were awful. While the staff stood around talking we were served cold coffee and what appeared to be frozen bagels lightly thawed. Dinner was just as bad. Obviously this needs improvement! April 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Loononthelake Sheraton Brooklyn New York Hotel The consistent quality of the Sheraton Hotel properties brings me to write. Warm chocolate chip cookies and lemonade in the lobby are a delightful afternoon highlight. Computers to use in the lobby are great for doing on line check-in and boarding cards. The beds are high but very comfortable. The staff are very friendly, kind and helpful. The location is very convenient to the Hoyt Street Subway Stop. June 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Phillygirl47 Impressed! I thought the staff was exceptionally polite and gracious. They went out of their way to make my husband and I feel comfortable, from room choice to every request I made. (Damion check in). in addition, on check out (Michelle?) helped me find a subway which had an elevator which I needed. It helped us feel more comfortable and at home, in this busy metropolis . . .near the big apple. . .and made the experience more accessible. Thanks! April 15, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by HGA1 Brooklyn Stay I did have to wait for some time to check in but the staff was very kind and helpful. The white comforter on the bed was stained. I did not call hotel staff about it. I simply removed it. Bathroom shower had some mold. Perhaps these two things should be looked at by room maids to ensure this does not occur. Restaurant in hotel service was good yet steaks were below par for a steakhouse. Nice hotel overall. I would stay again. March 15, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Bob4117 Parking cost $80!! I called the hotel before we arrived to ask how much overnight valet parking was. They stated $40. When I arrived that said that since I had a Chevy Tahoe it would be DOUBLE!! I will not be staying here again. I can understand if it was $10 more but double is just unreasonable. July 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Zakiyyah24 Broken Pool The main accomodation I wanted was a pool and the pool was closed. My granddaughter and I were both disappointed. August 9, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Eddy OK hotel, needs better customer service I'm a frequent traveler for both work and pleasure and Sheraton is always on top of my list. Currently staying for 1 night and unfortunately this time it fell a little short. The GOOD: great facilities, nice rooms and all the qualities that you expect from a Sheraton hotel. I really like the fitness center + it's open 24 hrs so that's very convenient for me. The BAD: Check-In was off putting. Although she greeted me as a platinum member, the front desk offered no amenities (which is a first for me). An upgrade was not offered although I can see available rooms online, I was not offered a welcome gift until I requested the bonus point and late checkout was not offered but called later to ask for it. I had to wait forever on the phone to get a WiFi code. The VERDICT: Good hotel if you just want a room, bad customer service and spg recognition is lacking. Not for me. September 7, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Meghan Don't order room service!! In two days my partner and I witnessed three unappetizing meals. Every meal I ordered was incorrectly made. The "fresh mozzarella" was nothing more than processed cheese and the pizza was not thoroughly cooked. The hotels menu did not match what the service staff was entering in their system. I ordered the Italian sausage, penne pasta, sun dried tomatoes, and sauteed spinach. Room service brought me penne pasta with marinara sauce. For breakfast my over hard eggs were undercooked and instead of herb roasted potatoes I received fruit on a stick. I pointed the mistake out to room service. They stated the system automatically assumes you would like fruit are you sure you want the potatoes? Completely unsatisfactory stay. I will never book a room at this hotel again. When checking out I stated the above issues to customer service and all they could say was sorry to hear that. February 8, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Redskin Overall Experience We stayed at Sheraton Brooklyn from March 8-14 2012 and we welcomed in the evening by the staff. The hotel is great when you see where it is located you are even more surprised. For me there was shopping in every corner Macy's just 'over the road'. I must mention though that I was very impressed with our room cleaner and the room. Keep up the good work but also the restaurant need an accomplised cook/chef. March 17, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by jim21 Our stay in Brooklyn Overall our stay in your hotel was satisfactory except at check-out when we found that the rate quoted via your web-site was lower than we were charged. I believe this was as a result of a change to our plans/reservation from 2 days to one. We were charged $249 for our stay on 6/30/2013 but our confirmed reservation was quoted at $179. I am working with the hotel management and SPG to resolve this issue. July 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Martha Service! On a Friday afternoon check-in, I had to change rooms and number of guests, etc. The young woman (Zaneyta? might be close to her name) was not just polite, she went out of her way to be helpful and pleasant. She handled all the issues with knowledge and ease. The elegance of the hotel was reflected in the service provided by this young lady. Whenever possible, Sheraton will be my first choice. Thank You! May 13, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by jjjj24 No A/C During my stay in March the weather was fairly warm early in the week and followed by a cold front at the end of the week. Unfortunately, the hotel decided to turn off the A/C unit for the entire hotel 2 days before the cold front came in. My room was 80 degrees all night long and I could hardly sleep. In the morning when I saw that the room never cooled off through the night I called the front desk. I was told that the A/C was off because of the freezing weather that was going to be coming that night, which would freeze the water in the A/C unit if it were running. I am not an HVAC expert, but I would have expected for the A/C to be functioning when it was ~70 degrees outside, whether there was cold weather coming or not. I was told to open the windows if I was hot. Unfortunately, none of this was told to me until after spending a night in an 80 degree room sweating and sleeping miserably. March 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by dlt9080 hotel review Was very happy with our overall stay with you hotel. My reservation was prepaid for lounge club room. Upon check in I was told that the club lounge was under repairs and there was no food but can access the room and have beverages - use the ty - internet - relax etc. Later after our swim we went to the lounge and it was completely closed and locked. Very disapointing. May 20, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Manju Cheap deceptive practices They have 2 water bottles in a room with a free sign on one but no sign of $3.81 on the 2nd one. The guest end up thinking that they are free and you get an unexpected charge of $ 3.81 on ur card. I really disliked this deceptive practice of charging $3.81 for 2nd bottle to innocent guests. The elevator availability is huge headache for guests and expect to spend 10-15 min for elevators each time . September 8, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by JenInBklyn A nice surpirse I stayed at this Sheraton because our heat and hot water was out, so two nights in a row my family and I stayed at the hotel and we booked last minute. The staff was really welcoming and warm and the hotel was clean, and had just the right amount of amenities one would expect (if not a bit more). We appreciated the hospitality and the seamless experience. Oh, the the beds are VERY comfortable. January 29, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by chrissy27 Sheraton 12/27 This hotel is close to downtown brooklyn, walking distance from many stores. The room was small to have 2 beds, There was no room for the 4 adults and luggage that we had. No complimentary breakfast, No bell hop to help with luggage at 5:00 am in the morning and had only one cart for guest to use this early in the morning. Valet parking was secure, a little pricey but you knew your car was safe. December 30, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Gill13 Comfortable Hotel a few simple things would make it better The room was comfortable and quiet. The location of the hotel is great is you work in metrotech centre as its in walking distance however I am not overkeen on the area around the hotel. There are a few small things the hotel could do to improve. I had a meal in the bar and nearly froze to death as the aircon was so cold. The vending machine for soda was not working and the breakfast was cold. September 25, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ladies Be careful of the club floor They forgot to tell us the nightclub was just over our room. Booming through the ceiling made it hard to sleep Thurs,Fri,Sat. July 29, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by noneedto Brooklyn needs staff trainin The hotel would not let me check in when I arrived at 2:15 and told me a room would be open at 3. No rooms at all for 45 minutes? They then valet checked my bag and when I returned had to ask me 4 times "what does the bag look like" and spent 15 minutes looking for it. Only to bring the wrong one.....it had a number and tag on it. Staff at front desk unprofessional and not helpful at all. October 4, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dodie413 Excellent Location, Clean & Reasonably Priced The room was clean, the location perfectly situated to all activiities - BAM, Smith St., MTA. Staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. Easy in, easy out if using LaGuardia. Only two minor nits - 1) room didn't have any furniture with drawers which meant living out of our suitcases more than we'd like on the other hand packing to leave was a breeze. 2) breakfast at Grubstake was just meh April 16, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by KateP Good Hotel I am an employee for Starwood Hotels and this is a really nice hotel. The staff is very friendly, the hotel is in good condition and a good location to the new stadium. When I was checked in I was upgraded to the Club level which meant that I did get a complimentary breakfast. When I went to have breakfast the coffee was hot, the server was friendly and the bagles and muffins were stale. December 26, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gentle12014 Great location for Shopping and Entertainment The hotel is ideal for shopping and is only a short subway ride into Manhattan. August 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jimmy Hotel well laid out, excellent elevators, great staff We have stayed in NYC proper and Brklyn. This is by far the nicest hotel for service, location to transportation, town, and other services. We especially remember the service provided by Wilson at the front desk, and Stepany who helped us with our reservations for the 911 memorial. Thanks staff. we also used the gym daily. Pool floor 2 has strong chlorine smell, convert to salt water. May 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MEWa BEST HOTEL VISIT! This was the first time i ever went to New York . I choose this hotel because it is right next to a subway station (at end of street). Hotel was quiet, staff was very nice, and overall I had a great stay at this hotel. Would recommend it to anyone. July 9, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by BuffaloAmy Construction noise & extra charges For the most part, this is a good place to stay. However, there is very noisy construction right behind that starts early every weekday morning. Also there is a high charge for in room wifi which seems unnecessary in this day & age. Finally, a $2 per bag charge for leaving your luggage in storage for the day after check out makes you feel like you are getting nickled & dimed. Uncool. April 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jan2013 Nice Hotel The place was great and breakfast was good too. Price was not bad. My only complain was When I RSV a room I asked for a bathtub (I wanted a Romantic bubble bath). When I present this as an issue & they never brought it back to my attention. 2nd I didn't realize Wifi was free w/ my package deal. I would have brought my laptop. Personally I think wifi should be free for all customers. February 9, 2013

Settling in and making contact with the outside world.
IF you are reading this column it means that I have finally got online and managed to send it.
Our new home sits atop a hill and I can see for miles from my sitting-room window. This, apparently, has no bearing on the strength of broadband signal we receive which is as slow and weak as you are likely to get before it disappears altogether.
I have a beautiful new office in the yard, fully equipped with all the hardware you need to run a successful business, but until the BT man comes next week we may as well be in the Himalayas, rubbing sticks together to make smoke signals.
We are enjoying our new circumstances thus far and I am finding more I like about the place with each passing day. The horses are sublimely chilled and the new gallops are reportedly riding like a carpet. We are anticipating the arrival of new inmates over the coming days and have welcomed curious owners to show them the facilities we enjoy here.
We spent a most agreeable day on Sunday when a half-dozen of our loyal supporters descended upon us for Le Grand Tour. Some came bearing champers champers
Slang champagne
champers nsg (col) → champán m
champers n (inf) → champ m , but all were in fine spirits and we even coaxed the vertiginous ver·tig·i·nous

2. Tending to produce vertigo.
vertiginous adjective Related to vertigo, dizzy ladies up the steep steps to the viewing platform for a birds-eye view of the new gallops.
The afternoon was rounded off nicely with a trip to a local riverside pub for an alfresco lunch by the water and much laughter and good humour Noun 1. good humour - a cheerful and agreeable mood
amiability, good humor, good temper
humour, mood, temper, humor - a characteristic (habitual or relatively temporary) state of feeling; "whether he praised or cursed me depended on his temper at the time"; .

Full of mercy; compassionate: sought merciful treatment for the captives. See Synonyms at humane.
mer it seemed to pass through her system fairly rapidly.
I am looking forward to having our first runners next week. It seems an age since we last raced and it will be good to get going once again. Not least because I will finally get rid of Alan on a regular basis - I seem to get far more done when he's not around and there is still plenty to be done.
I think I will go racing myself to watch the first runners and am particularly looking forward to seeing Fol Liam on the track as he is in fine fettle in good spirits.
See also: Fettle and one of my personal favourites. He runs in the 'Mr Blobby' colours of Andrew Timms, the bringer of the champagne on Sunday. If his return to the track is a successful one we have vowed to crack it open and raise a glass to the exciting times we hope may follow.

It was not quite "It's a Small World After All," but the end-of-camp grand finale for Arts Clayton's youth summer camps did take on a worldly feel at J.W. Arnold Elementary School, in Jonesboro, recently.
That feel came from the 96 campers performing songs and dances about protecting the environment. The theme of the camp, and Friday's grand finale performance, was "Update Earth: Kids Rock the World for the Environment."
Participants in the camp spent two weeks rehearsing their songs and dance routines, as well as recycling items, such as used wire hangers and cereal boxes, to create sculptures and paintings. The visual art pieces, including sculptures, paintings and photographs were put on display in a special gallery show, before the musical extravaganza.

Meals on Wheels hit by sequestration cuts
Last year, more than 10,000 senior citizens in Connecticut received lunches and dinners five days a week through Meals on Wheels programs. Another 18,000 traveled to receive meals at congregate locations.
Now agencies are trying to continue serving all those people in the face of federal budget cuts, part of the across-the-board reductions known as sequestration.

" This whole program is why we are deep in debt. There should be volunteerism at the food pantry and soup kitchen levels. There is no need to fund meals on wheels. Anyone who knows an elderly who gets meals on wheels know that most of this food is wasted anyway because it is little better than MRE's. We can do elderly a whole lot better than another government boondoggle. "
Joe wrote on May 13, 2013 1:26 PM:
" That's right, Bob. It's programs that feed poor and elderly people and not the trillions wasted on war and empire...as to why we are so deep in debt. Makes sense.
53 cents of every dollar we pay in taxes goes to the military, war, and a foreign policy that only creates new terrorists abroad.
...but let's punish elderly seniors instead. "

" I agree that this program costs a lot. But in today's society many elderly take a back seat to everyone else. If the country would make drug/alcohol testing mandatory to collect welfare of any kind, think of the money that could be saved.Our local food pantry and soup kitchens are frequented by many who simply do not want to work, along with those truly needy. Five of my family members work in nursing homes and most families do not bother to visit their elderly parents, let alone volunteer to bring meals to them. "

She should be on the water for friday, justt need to pick my drill up then can finish it off. So far the build seems ok gluing the rudder tube was abit of a fiddle, plus the fact that when you glue the servo tray in you cant acess the rear of the model or the front that easy
Hoping to get the hull finished by tonight, touch wood, i think all the harder bits have been done now so just the easyer bits to finish off

Well shes pritty much built, just a few finishing off things to do like drill the drain holes alittle bigger so the bungs fit and glue all the knots
Must say though the rig is alittle random in the way they say to use figure of 8 knots, and as soon as i tryed todo up the grub screw for the rudder it rounded so need to buy another one or two and try again
Have not fitted the two deck winchs because they looks abit silly imo Plus need to pick up a on off for the power so thats another thing to get, but once thats all done shes really for the water
Other thing to note dont much like the winch servo havnt ever used one before and they seem a faf plus can only get 50% of the bottom half of the throttle stick to work, the top half does nothing before the sails are already let out all the way, so had to do away with the top of the stick movment or it let out to much sail ( if that makes sense )
Abit of a silly mistake on my part but the main shet line hole bent thing has to be facing inbetween the rudder servo tray when fitted, i did mine at a slite angle and it hit the servo arm, so had to back the travel off alittle
Wont be puttin it in the water till maybe sunday, though im going to wait for very lite airs, as said think it will be going over a few times, even on the stand at 45% lean the rig pulls it over

Quick update, tryed the yacht on are pond earlyer, even the smallst of breezes gets the thing moving, she does sit low of the stern though, but im guessin thats normal for tri's? The back stay deck fitting is under water and the clip alittle, but the water dosnt come upto the top of the rudder plat form
Think shes going to be rather fast, next step is to try and fit it in the car in abit haha going to be either fit lile a glove or not at all if it fits will take it down to the lake for 30 mins to try her seems its light airs here at the moment ( if it fits in the car )

Multiplex Power Pack for Easy Star- Good Option?
Is the Multiplex Power Pack that includes a Himax brushless motor a good setup?
This will be my first plane that I want to grow with. I want to run a brushless motor with a 7 cell battery in the begining then go lipo in the future. What is the general consensus on this brushless setup from Multiplex?
This is my shopping list so far:
Easy Star Kit
Spektrum DX6i
Brushless motor and ESC
Hitec HS-55 Economy Sub Micro Servos
Great Planes Electrifly 7 cell 1100 mAh flat pack (might have a fitment problem here?)
Thanks for the help guys. Any and all advice regarding my Easy Star build is welcomed. BTW, I've read through some of the Easy Star posts but I get lost because they are so big and jump from topic to topic!!!

Umm, just get the RTF. You end up saving a lot of money, and it comes with a high quality Hitec radio, and hitec receiver, and some of hitecs "dressed up" multiplex servos.
Ordering from Hobby People will save you time, and will have it to you in less than 3 days, depending on where you live.
The included motor/ESC/battery combination work very well, and there is absolutely no need to waste money on a brushless setup for a plane that flies very well with the included parts. If you can somehow stop by a Hobby People store, then you can get one for $179.99 RTF.
BTW, HS 55 servos are too small for the plane. They just didn't seem to provide enough torque when a modeler had them in.
Also, if you haven't flown a plane before(not including a flight sim for RC), then I urge you to NOT get a lipo pack, or brushless setup, as you risk damaging them. But once you get pretty good at flying, and can takeoff/fly/land on your own, then go for a big 2 cell lipo, like 1500-4200 mah. A fellow modeler used a big 2 cell 4200 mah lipo, and flew for about 4 hours before landing, with only light winds, on a stock setup. The stock setup is the shiz Happy flying.

Save some cash Bro on the motor for the ES, you can get a BL motor (any of the 28mm motors ) and ESC for about $40 from United Hobbies, and a 2000 2s li-po for $20.

Again, there really isn't any need for a brushless motor, or lipo in an easy star.

There isn't a "need" for lipo or brushless in many electric planes. Doesn't mean they're not an upgrade from brushed and nicks. Longer flight time, weight savings, power to burn. Not including, not having to buy all new when you do make the jump, and you will make the jump if you stay.

HS-55 servos work fine in an EasyStar. Make sure your control surfaces are free, and there will be no problem. I have used GWS Pico Servos in an EZ. Go brushless... there is no sense in buying a motor you wont be able to use in anything else later down the road. As John said, lighter, more power, more efficient, and great for another plane later on
|Feb 08, 2008, 12:06 PM
I have used a Hyperion P-1913-08 on 3S lipo with 7 x 4 prop. The motor is an out runner and fits in the space for the 400 can motor and is mounted on a mounting plate glued to the fuz. The three motor cables have been extended to the battery compartment where the esc has been located. All in all a good setup, no shortage of power and with 2500 lipo I can get 20 to 30 mins flights easily, with lift longer.
I agree with the other contributors and there is no need to upgrade it as it works very well. However I had the lipos form other setups and wanted to used them. 3S being too much for the standard 400.
I really like the plane and as a first ever model dont think it can be bettered. I am teaching my 6 year old so to fly with it.
Anyway good luck

PAX: DuckTales Remastered announced for XBLA, PSN, Wii U
[Update: Check out our Interview with WayForward]
In today's "unexpected, f*cking awesome" news, Capcom has announced DuckTales Remastered for PlayStation Network, Wii U eShop, and Xbox Live Arcade. WayForward is handling development with a targeted summer release and $15 price point.
The debut trailer, embedded above, shows the new 2D hand-drawn sprites against a 3D backdrop. The game will feature original Disney voice actors in addition to a new tutorial level and Scrooge McDuck's Museum, which naturally acts as a hub for stat tracking and leaderboards.
There have been what-if DuckTales discussions for years and years. To hear that it's finally happening is incredibly exciting and has me wondering what other properties Capcom might be willing to bring back. Is this real life?

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Swim out to the turtles or simply enjoy a stunning walk to Sandy Lane, the next bay north.
Security: There is a 24 hour security guard on site. The property has a lockable gate to the beach, and electrically operated gates on the road side. The security guards are very helpful, and are responsible for putting out beach chairs and parasols belonging to the apartments.
Apartment Management & Housekeeper: Our managing agents are very reputable and long established on the island. They are always contactable if there should be any queries or problems. A health and safety book with all relevant telephone numbers can be found in the apartment for your perusal.
Our very friendly and helpful housekeeper is also on hand six days per week. She is available to prepare two consecutive meals per day as required. She cleans and makes/changes beds every day and supplies clean towels and linen. She is also happy to launder your own clothes.

Hi Kate! I am sitting on the patio at Coral Cove 2 as I write this. We are enjoying another fab trip and before I got distracted when I return home I wanted to thank you for allowing us to stay again at your lovely apartment. We have already contacted Asha to see about price and availability for next year.
We also wanted to be sure to tell you about what an outstanding job that Romeo is doing. He is so nice and his management of the beach and building is fantastic. He really has been an integral part in making our holiday so special.
Jasmine has also been great. We have enjoyed her cooking and looking after us so well.
Don't want to leave any others out of our feedback- Devon has been great, and the gentleman taking care of the gardening has been great as well. You are really fortunate to have such a top notch staff taking care of your property!
Thanks, again.
The Mahogany Tree is located on the ground floor of a brand new development on Paynes Bay Beach. Situated within the highly desirable area of St James on the platinum West Coast. Many luxury hotels are close by - Sandy Lane is within walking distance around the next cove, and Tammarind Cove and The House, also on Paynes Bay Beach. The famous Daphnes restaurant is also in easy walking distance on the beach - great for lunch!
There is an excellent swimming area in front of the apartment. Swim out to join the turtles, or snorkel on the reef close by. All water sports are readily available on the beach.
The apartment is very close to the Sandy Lane Golf Club, and Royal Westmoreland is close by.
Holetown is a very short drive where many restaurants, shops, banks, supermarket etc are at hand. Cave Shepherd, Barbados' main department store is close by for duty free shopping.
The capital, Bridgetown is only a short taxi ride. Excellent for duty free shopping.

5 Of My Co-workers ****** My Wife!
I just found out about it. Deborah just recently told me that many years ago five of my co-workers well, basically raped her. She had been too embarrassed and hurt to mention it before.
We had only been married for less than three months when the printing company I worked for invited all the employees to the lake for the weekend. An insurance company owned the printing company and had a very nice lodge on the lake in eastern Oklahoma. Deborah (she always went by Debbie then) and I went. We waterskied through the day and a steak dinner was planned for the evening.
Debbie went upstairs to our room to shower before dinner and I stayed in the great room, talking and enjoying the view of the lake. She had trouble with her key and one of my co-workers said that she was trying the wrong door. He moved to the next door, opened it, took her hand and led her in. The rooms were all large and this room was his and three other men who were there, either single or without their wives.
Debbie was wearing only a bikini and the men had apparently enjoyed the view. One of them brought a picture of Debbie's *** fr
Well, back to what happened. Another man was in the room when they entered. Debbie tried to leave, but they held her, saying that she may as well shower in their room. When she tried to get away, they held her tightly and turned the radio up loudly. One of the men untied her top and as her **** came to view, began to suck on them. They pulled her to the bed as she struggled and told them 'no!"
As one of the men lay on top of her, groping her, the other man opened the door and called for their friends. Their two roommates and another man came in and closed the door. Soon Debbie had being held by four men as her bikini bottoms were pulled off.
One of the men asked, "who's first?" The man who first took her into the room wasted no time as he dropped his pants, moved between her legs, licked her, then stuck his **** inside. Another man forced her to suck him as she was being ******. One by one, all the men ****** her, shot their *** inside her ***** and also made her suck them. Debbie told me they used a wet wash wrag to wipe her ***** between men. She told me they took pictures of her naked and with each one of them ******* her. They said that if she said anything, the pictures would be seen by everyone and they all would say that she came to their room and asked for it.
When they finished with her, they walked her to our room, which was just next door. I had been downstairs all the time and never knew anything about it . I am sure wondered why she was gone so long, but as she talked with me about it, she said she remembered telling me that she had taken a nap. She was on the pill at that time, so no pregnancy. I just could hardly believe it.
I know that I was invited to an upstairs room at work after we got home and watched **** videos. I still remember being turned on by one that showed two couples on a yacht. The crew had tied up the husbands and took turns raping their wives. I am now sure that I was watching and enjoying the **** with the very men that had raped my wife and I knew nothing about it.
It all happened long ago, and it has taken many years for my wife to even tell me. Amazing! And also very true that I got hard while she was telling me and I want her to tell me about it again and again.
So many women are gang raped. Many of them actually enjoy it but don't admit it. My wife was raped in a closet at work by a black guy who really roughed her up. She had 2 *******. She went into that closet with him several more times. Since then she has been raped 3 more times and now will not have sex with me. My small penis is just not enough for her now. Rape can change a woman for the good as well as for bad. Now last week, my 15 year old daughter was raped by two boys after school and she was not using any birth control. It will not surprise me if they get her pregnant. Surely they will rape her again. It would not surprise me if my wife lets them **** her too.
If you still have contact with those men I urge you to speak with each of them individually and privately and tell them how much grief this caused you wife for so many years and what utter ******** they were for doing such a thing and still passing themselves off as your friend. You should despise them and never speak to them again. As far as you are concerned, they no longer exist. I understand the erotic aspects of this and how that can affect you... but think of her and how she carried the memory of this experience in her mind and on her conscience for so many years. Think of the courage it took for her to take the risk of telling you this after all these years. I hope you took her in your arms and held her close and told her that you loved her and nothing could ever change that... I think that kind of reassurance from you would help her heal the hurt and put those bad memories behind her.
You could also ask if they still have the photos, maybe you could get a copy. Sorry but I try to look on the bright side. I do understand but when I am with a guy, relating parts of my rape turns him on. Deep down inside, What does it do for you, that you keep from your wife?
I have pictures of my wife with 3 black men. I ********** to them a lot.
Wow! love it!!!
Just about all of my black coworkers and one Puerto Rican had ****** my wife with my blessings. It started one night when I was called in to make repairs I always pulled up to the gas pump to fill my car, one of my black coworkers come out and said he would fill in for me while I was in making repairs my car and him and my wife disappeared. I knew exactly what was going to happen so I gave him a few minutes then went looking to see if he got in my wife which he did very well. I went back to finish making the repairs they came back about 45 min. later my wife had a big smile on her face so did my coworker. I got in my car to go home my wife asked me if anyone else wanted to **** her. I went back in the shop asked the guy that had just ****** my wife if any other guys wanted to **** her he said yes but we would have to shut the plant down while this happen because he wanted to watch of course so did I. It took a few minutes to shut the plant down as soon as it was quiet he called one of his black coworkers over and said a woman was looking to get ******. My wife was in the office I sent the men in their she got the ******* of her life. I had to account for the time the plant was down which was about an hour in my repair log everyone had a good time that night including my wife.
This is so hot! You are the right kind of guy. Getting your wife ****** like you can't do is true love.
strange. but reminds me of a work trip lodge meeting my wife went on and was to drunk to use her key..i often wonder and fantasize about what realy happend when a guy helped her unlock it. i guess a shot of tequilla and whisky soyr realy got her smashed, and i know how easy she is when she drinks..hmmm i wonder.
LOL. I'll bet you ********** thinking about that
Hot story, but only as a fantasy. I was raped by several of my close male friends, and it totally messed me up. After years of friendship, I couldn't even look at them after that. It was a total betrayal. Instead of being valued, I felt used...by my FRIENDS, against my will. As a result, I have trust issues, and don't really bond with others. I also have desires for being forced, which is pretty messed up if you think about it rationally.

If this story is real, how sad that your wife could not IMMEDIATELY come to you, and those @ssholes should have all been FIRED...you should have had a fit over this.

jcoverford...you like that people think your wife is a *****, and that you are a fool....one who cannot satisfy his wife? Also, what people do in the private lives is up to them, but how can you mix it with business? Seems like poor judgment to me.
very hot story,always had those fantasys
How are you handling this today and at work. Is she still having trouble with it.? Let her know it`s now over and in the past, which I am sure you have. Are you and she haveing other partners. would be iterested to see how the two of you are doing sexually after something like this
I was the manager of a manufacturing company that had several black men working on both shifts. My wife was a sex maniac I was too for that matter had become friendly with one of the blast man invited him to our home for supper after work when he arrived my wife had the skimpiest clothes she could find.

After supper we retired to the living room I put on an X rating video after a few minutes until my wife to go sit next to I guess it didn't take him long to figure out what was going on the lips a lot together as they were working to get the lower parts of their bodies washed together as well which is the way any white husband should expect his wife to do.

After that encounter the word jut out that the manufacturing facility that my wife was a ***** no one would talk to my face about it but everybody was talking to my back I also had a lot of new black friends and a few others.
You just did a big favor for your wife. Good guy!
WOW! I have been raped twice and it is not fun. I feel sorry for her. I know some men get turned off by rape descriptions and/or rape stories. But like it is said in the above comments, that rape is only fun it it's role-play. Sorry it happened to her.
Oh sorry, I pressed the down arrow by mistake, poivoi2002 is right on exactly! I could never face those men without rage in my heart.

sorry for the mixup with rating
Wow, I don't know whether to cry or jerk off. So sad for her to have to have kept that inside for all this time. I don't agree with rape in any measure, but I do like it forced or play rape if the woman is liking it, but never against her will. I hope she thinks it's hot now.
