Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Reese!
Facts about Reese
- Breed: Calico
- Color: Calico Or Dilute Calico
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Reese's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Reese is one of the most stunning calicos we've ever seen. She came in with three siblings and we were sure that she would be the first to go, but it didn't work out that way. We were thinking that she might have to be adopted out to someone who lives in Wisconsin because she has a cheese fetish. She will greet almost each and every person who comes into the shelter to see if they might possibly be carrying some cheese. If you aren't carrying any cheese, you've just dropped several rungs in her book. She's really not a complete material girl, though! The fewer kitties around, the nicer she is to us. She'll never be a pick-up-in your arms cat, but she is a beautiful, playful, interactive one.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Reese, a Deerfield Beach Calico cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Calico for sale in Deerfield Beach, or seeking a Calico cat from a breeder in Deerfield Beach.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Deerfield Beach already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Deerfield Beach breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Calico breeders who help with Calico rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Deerfield Beach paves the way for another one to be saved.

Want the answers to questions about the iPhone? You'll find questions and answers here.
I used to be able to do it, but when I go to the App Store or iTunes, and press view my account (which is what I used to do), nothing about an amount shows up. Does anyone know? Thank you
This didn't help at all, and I'm also unable to do it on my computer as well.
are you telling me that if you open the app store or itunes on your phone, tap music on itunes or featured on the app store, then scroll all the way down you don't see your apple id and how much credit you have? i just did it on my phone and i'm staring right at it.
Make sure you're signed into your iTunes Account via Settings > iTunes and App Stores.
I think it's my phone (and my computer apparently). I just tried it on my dad's phone (which is also on the same account, and it worked).
I had this same question until I figured a way to do it on my iphone 5.
First: Go to settings then-> iTunes & App Stores-> tap the "Apple ID" rectangle then "View Apple ID"
(it may prompt you to enter the password) but you should see the "Apple ID Balance" at the top!
Tried this even updated credit card info.
My balance may be zero. But I should see plainly $0 is my balance.
Apple, you are losing me with this kind of bs. I have an account that you force me to use and you promine ntlywon't show my balance?

Scott Parker has retained his title as Hammer of the Year - sponsored by Vantis - after winning the support of West Ham United supporters for the second successive season.
The England midfielder has enjoyed a magnificent campaign for Gianfranco Zola's side, producing a series of man of the match performances at home and away.
Parker, who is the first West Ham player to retain the award since Julian Dicks in 1995/96 and 1996/97, also scored outstanding goals at Chelsea and in the vital 3-2 Barclays Premier League victory over Wigan Athletic last month.
"It's been a fantastic season for me, personally," said Parker. "We've had a lot of hard times as a team this year, but at the end of it, I suppose we're still in the Premier League.
"I know, at times this year, we've probably not given you the sort of things you deserve but I speak for the squad and the staff when I thank you all for your support.
"I want to thank the staff - Steve Clarke and Kevin Keen - for all the hard work they've done, and also I want to thank the manager, Gianfranco Zola, for having so much faith in me and giving me great belief."
Capped three times by his country, Parker's form has led to clamour for his return to the national squad for this summer's FIFA World Cup in South Africa. That form also saw him voted SBOBET Player of the Month on no fewer than four occasions - in December, January, March and April.
Alessandro Diamanti was voted runner-up, smiling broadly as he received his award to loud applause.
Parker capped a special night that also saw him win the Goal of the Season award - sponsored by Floyd Investments - for his 30-yard screamer at Stamford Bridge by scooping the Players' Player of the Year trophy.
Before being presented with his award, the midfielder listened intently as a montage of comments from his team-mates was played on the big screens.
"I'd like to thank my fellow players because to hear those sorts of comments and receive the votes from your own team-mates means a lot," he added.
The popular player was the pick of his team-mates to receive his third award of the night - sponsored by Winged Boots.

Beautiful pic of 4 beautiful ladies and one handsome little feller. I know you are thrilled to get to see him . I have one that I have not gotten to see either.There's nothing like GK and GGks. Grayson has worn me out today. He learned how to turn summersaults, but he called them flip-flops. He's flip-floped all day, in the yard, on the couch or in the floor. That is some great pics of you all. TFS Janet |
Karen...I'm so glad you shared this lovely picture on Holiday.. I enjoyed seeing it on FB and again here. You must be in Heaven having this little guy visiting. He's such a cutie and the ladies with him - who all share the same smile...aren't too shabby either!! Beautiful Pic! jane |

Janet, I loved the story of Grayson's "flip flops". Totally adorable. Need pix of that! Thanks, Jane. I seem to be sharing these photos with everyone who's crossed my path. LOL. Still can't believe I am a great-grandmama! Bransen is already 3 months old, sure wish he lived here with rest of our family. I miss Meagan here too, she moved to Ala. some years ago. She's always been so special to all of us. Her dad's family is all there to spoil Bransen, so he's got a LOT of people who love him to pieces already. hugs, Karen |
AWWW, Karen. Bransen is such a handsome little fellow. You must be ecstatic having him and your beautiful granddaughter visiting!! I love the four generation photo. TFS Nana |
He sure holds his head up well for such a little guy! Think he was wondering what all the excitement was about--HIM! They are so sweet & precious & grow up so quickly. So good to get the generation pics. We had everybody together 4 yrs ago. More kids now & almost impossible to get everyone together. Will be such fun at Christmas,he'll be into everything!! Then you will get to be a kid again watching him! Jan |

What a wonderful picture and how great it was that you got to spend some time with Bransen. What a cutie pie! |
- Posted by christmascandy (My Page) on Tue, Aug 28, 12 at 21:53
He is absolutely darling! But then, based on that picture, he is swimming in a pretty darn amazing gene pool!! LOL Your DD and DGD are just gorgeous, but they obviously got it from you! What a beautiful family and the 4 generation picture is one to treasure. You sure don't look like a great-grandma, but I am positive you are a GREAT, as in super, Grandma! Enjoy your visit and I am so glad you will get to spend Christmas with them! I think Bransen is one lucky little boy and glad he will be spoiled wherever he goes! I just love those little bare feet! I'll bet you are just loving kissing those little baby toes! Thank you so much for sharing this joyous moment with us! Give Bransen a hug for me. |
- Posted by purplemoon (My Page) on Tue, Aug 28, 12 at 23:27
Awwww, Candy, thank you so much. You made me smile about the gene pool. LOL. And Jan, yes he IS strong. Hard to believe he just turned 3 months old. He already wants to "stand" instead of sit, he locks those little bitty legs and you can't make him bend 'em to sit! Too funny. This is actually the 3rd photo I have of 4 generations! The first one has my grandmother, my mom, me, and my daughter when she was a freshman. Then the next one is my mom, me, my daughter, and Meagan as a little girl. The third is for Jason...my dad, my husband, Jas, and his first born son. So that gives him a 4 generation one too. ;o) I can't resist sharing these two of Jason and Suzie getting to meet their "great nephew" for the first time.....(Meagan is Jason's niece, so not sure what the correct term is for Bransen, but he IS great. LOL) I love the sweetness of this photo....such a contrast with Jas' badly burned skin against that soft new baby skin. Makes me want to cry as well as smile. hugs, Karen |

Which books are "great"?
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007I promised I'd spend some time talking about what books are really "great," so I'll do that now. But first, a few warnings.
1. Not everyone agrees on what books are "great," because—obviously—not everyone agrees on what makes a "great" book.
2. Some books that are almost certainly "great" don't fit well in some versions of a great-books education. A book must be not only great, but also discussable.
3. The books actually matter less than the method. This is the most startling fact about the "great books" method of learning: it really doesn't depend nearly as much as you'd think on the greatness of the books. It depends much more on the method of approaching the books and learning from them.
4. Different books are appropriate for different ages. Second-graders are probably not ready for Einstein yet. (Although my six-year-old son has recently been captivated by string theory and M-theory, which has taught me not to make too many assumptions about what a child is ready for.)
Having said all that, I'll venture a definition of a "great book": A great book is a book we keep coming back to. We may not even like it, but we can't escape it. It has become part of our shared cultural heritage, and even people who haven't read the book have somehow absorbed something about it.
Lots of people hate Moby Dick, for example, and curse the literature professors who made them read it. But it's always there on the reading lists. You can't get away from it, because in the end it's always worth thinking about, even if you hated it. And even if you haven't read it, you still know about it. Animated cartoons aimed at children (I'm talking about you, SpongeBob) are quite willing to parody Captain Ahab's obsessive pursuit of the great white whale—and the children know what's going on.
Another example we might mention is the romances of the Holy Grail, especially the Walter Map version. We couldn't giggle over our periodic lists of holy-grails-of if everybody hadn't absorbed some notion of the Holy Grail, though almost always without reading the romances.
No two people will make exactly the same list of great books, and the lists will change over time. I'm sure many people thought The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse was a shoo-in for "great book" status, but who reads it now? (Robert Benchley gets credit as the lonely voice who called it right: "Of course it is possible for a man to write a great book from which no one would quote. That is probably happening all the time. But it is because no one has read it. Here we have an author [Vicente Blasco Ibáñez] whose vogue in this country, according to statistics, is equal to that of any writer of novels in the world. And as soon as his publicity department stops functioning, I should like to lay a little bet that he will not be heard of again.")
But, on the whole, the lists will be remarkably similar, and they'll be more similar the farther back in time we go. The colder the author is in his grave, the more sure we can be that the book is really "great."
Homer, the Bible, Plato, Aristotle, Virgil, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, Shakespeare, Galileo, Descartes, Newton, Rousseau, Marx, Einstein, just to name a few—these will always be on lists of great books, because they changed the course of human thought forever. It doesn't matter if you love Luther and hate Calvin, or love Calvin and hate Luther, or hate both, or love both because you have a strangely split and warped personality: their ideas are just too big and important to ignore.
So much for determining which books are great; that leaves us with the problem of which great books are suitable. The answer varies widely according to the subject and according to the target audience.
For high-school or college students learning geometry, for example, Euclid is the obvious and only choice. For biology, you'll want to start with Aristotle and work up through Harvey and into more modern writers; similarly, for physics, Aristotle through Galileo and Newton up to Einstein and beyond.
The assumption, of course, is that you'll be using some variant of the great-books method to teach every subject. Many students will be lucky to get a literature class taught that way.
For young children, some of the best things to read are in the Bible. Jesus' parables are perfect. They're short, but infinitely thought-provoking. The best discussion I ever saw in a Sunday-school class was on the parable of the workmen in the vineyard, in which the employer pays the last to arrive as much as he pays the ones who worked all day. "That's not fair!" multiple children shouted at once. Well, why not? Didn't the first to arrive agree on the payment? And so the discussion goes. Our ordinary assumptions are questioned and our complacency offended right away, which is exactly what Jesus intended. Before you know it, an hour has gone by, and everyone—not least the teacher—has met new ideas and thought new thoughts.
Little fables like Aesop's are also good for young children. Even The Cat in the Hat is worth talking about—or perhaps I should say especially The Cat in the Hat, with its slightly frightening moral ambiguity. It even ends with a perfect opening question for a discussion.
Experiment often shows which books are good for discussions and which aren't. Some books that are first-rate just never seem to lead to good discussions.
Finally, there's the cultural question, which is tricky. St. John's and some other great-books schools follow mainly the western tradition—not because no one outside the West ever wrote anything worthwhile, but because the readings build one upon another. It can be very hard to approach books that come from a tradition completely outside our own without some serious training in the languages and culture of that tradition. The Graduate Institute at St. John's offers an Eastern Classics program that includes tutorials in either Sanskrit or Chinese, just as the regular undergraduate program includes tutorials in ancient Greek and French.
Anyway, why should I come up with a list when other people have done it already? Here are some lists you can look at and argue about:
The St. John's College reading list. This reading list was first put together in the 1930s. It changes a bit every so often, and it's not always quite identical on the two campuses (one in Annapolis, the other in Santa Fe). But it's been remarkably stable over the years. It's actually hard to find another list of "great books" that isn't at least influenced by this one.
The Britannica Great Books series. If it bears a strong resemblance to the St. John's list, that's no accident: the Britannica list was heavily influenced by the St. John's list.
Thomas Aquinas College has a program modeled after the one at St. John's, but leaning more toward Catholic Christian writers.
The three lists above all have common roots. Here are some lists that are more or less independent of that tradition:
The Harvard Classics. The famous "Five-Foot Shelf" was a serious attempt to gather every important work in one set and sell them all to the upwardly-mobile as decorative accessories for the well-furnished parlor. Even today it's not hard to find old copies of the Harvard Classics that have obviously never been read. But it was a good list, and you can read them all on line. It also has the advantage of having been compiled before the St. John's list, which makes it unusually independent.
The Western Canon, by Alan Bloom. Not really as independent as all that, since Bloom was good friends with some of the tutors at St. John's and was well aware of the St. John's list. But his list is interesting and long.
Malaspina Great Books is a very long table of books, each entry with information under five categories: birth, death, period, category, and woman. (The "woman" column contains either "yes" or "no," as appropriate. Some stunning revelations here. Who knew that "George Eliot" was a woman? I had always assumed he was just a cross-dresser. And the implication of the table that a man is in some way a failed woman is a profounder bit of philosophy than the compilers perhaps intended.)
TheGreatBooks.com is a site presenting a curriculum designed to teach the Christian worldview through the great books.
The 100 Most Meaningful Books of All Time, selected by a poll of famous authors in 2002. It leans more heavily toward more recent books, and I suspect some of those would have already dropped off the list if you took the same poll now. But you'll still find a large overlap with all the other lists, proving that there really are some books you just can't get away from.
A list of colleges offering great-books programs, from the National Association of Scholars. A very large number of them are modeled on the St. John's program.

Question-mark remains over falling jobless count
By Tony Hudson
Unemployment has continued its mystifying decline despite the troubled state of the UK economy.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures claim full-time employment has been on the rise over the last few months and over the past year had seen the biggest annual increase in full time employment since 2005.
Overall full-time employment has risen by 154,000 in the last three months and 394,000 over the past year. Since 1997, employment has increased by as much as 3.1 million.
Opinion Former Video
The quality of our built environment affects every member of society
What are the recommendations of the Commission on the Future of Management & Leadership?
Why was the Commission on the Future of Management and Leadership established?
What can employers do to improve their management and leadership?
Why should businesses focus on purpose, people and potential?
Liam Byrne, Labour's shadow work and pensions secretary, conceded the news was "welcome" but insisted there was still much work to be done.
Jobs are extremely difficult to come by, he said, with more than five people applying for each available position.
"Youth unemployment has risen yet again, back towards the million mark, the number of women out of work has gone up and long-term unemployment is still far too high", he said.
"What Britain now needs from next month's Budget is an industrial strength back to work programme to match the crisis we face."
He also drew attention to wages being £1,200 lower, on average, than they were in May 2010 and called it "the price to get a job or keep a job".
Despite the UK job market strengthening towards the end of 2012, temporary jobs account for nearly a third of the recent increase in employment, the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) pointed out.
"The medium-term outlook remains less certain, as the public sector seems likely to continue to shed jobs and there are questions over the private sector's ability to sustain this momentum unless economic growth resumes soon", said Gerwyn Jones, the CIPD's labour market advisor.
With basic pay inflation running at a three and a half year low of 1.3%, Jones predicted "the living standards of employees will continue to fall given the Bank of England's expectations of higher inflation."
These numbers show the economy is experiencing "mixed blessings" on the slow road to recovery, he said.

Goals of the dialogue
Setting a safe space for dialogue — 10 minutes
Introduce the kind of discussion we will be having today.
Tell participants, "You will be asked to talk about your faith and your values today with others who do not necessarily share your beliefs and ways of life."
Brainstorm the guidelines for this unique discussion:
Take notes on your group's responses, and then read the responses aloud to conclude the discussion.
Here's a list of key safe space guidelines. When your group is done brainstorming, add to the list anything you might have missed:
Texts on the shared value of service — 15 minutes
Ask the group to go around the circle and read the texts on service (Handout 2) aloud. Make it clear that no one has to read if they feel uncomfortable doing so.
Ask the group to reflect on what they have read:
Explain that the group will use these texts as we practice how we might interact with people who are different from us, in light of our shared values.
Storytelling as a means of dialogue — 20 minutes
Ask the group to tell a story about a meaningful service experience. Emphasize that this need not be a religious story. If they get stuck, share a story from your experience. Now push the story further by asking participants to reflect on what inspired them to do this work:
Returning to the texts — 15 minutes
Ask the group to read the texts on Handout 2 aloud again. Encourage participants to see if they think about things differently after they have listened to stories about inspiration from different traditions.

The Diamondbacks changed the name of Bank One Ballpark to Chase Field and will unveil the new title before tonight's game against San Diego.
Chase Bank bought out Bank One earlier this year, forcing the need to unload BOB which had been the name of the home home field for the Diamondbacks for seven seasons.
"We had a lot of great memories from Bank One Ballpark," club president Rich Dozer said.
Chase assumed Bank One's 30-year, $100 million commitment to the Diamondbacks in the merger.
Chase commits about $3 million annually on an escalating scale to the D-backs for title sponsorship of the park and other signage and advertising.

This has been an age-old campaign, designed to prompt people to keep fresh batteries in their smoke alarms. Smoke alarms are still the best and most inexpensive measure of fire protection, once a fire occurs. If there is a proper number of smoke alarms, and they are placed properly, smoke alarms should activate when smoke is detected.
Ionization detectors are still the most popular on the market. Your responsibility is to check your detectors monthly by pushing the test button, and change the batteries when necessary. If you have disabled smoke alarms, then you must fix them. It may simply be to put a fresh battery in it, or it may need to be replaced. The life span of a smoke alarm is about ten years.
What about new technology? There are smoke alarms on the market that have ten-year batteries. Some of these alarms have batteries that cannot be removed, and are designed to be thrown away when the battery goes bad. The benefit to this detector is that the battery is long lasting. The point is that you must test the alarm monthly, to insure that the battery is good. Keep in mind that most battery-operated smoke alarms are not tied together. In other words, only one detector will activate at a time. In the case of new construction, smoke alarms are required in every bedroom, on each level of the home, and more may be required in various living spaces. These detectors are tied together electrically, and will all sound when one activates. These alarms are protected with a battery backup, in the event that the power goes out. It is important to keep fresh batteries in these detectors.
How about detectors for those who are hearing impaired? There are smoke alarm systems that come with a strobe that activates with an audible alarm. The best placement of these alarms is the bedroom that the hearing impaired person sleeps in, and the room or rooms most frequently used by a hearing impaired person. I have seen systems that plug into outlets. The problem comes when the power goes out, therefore, some type of battery backup system would be needed.
After knowing that your smoke alarms are properly placed and working properly, it is important to know that your family knows what to do when the smoke alarms go off. The first question is, will your family wake up if one smoke alarm is activating? The only way to know for sure is to set one off after your family has gone to sleep. If it does not wake them, then more are needed, or the alarms need to be tied together so that when one goes off, they all go off. If you have children that have played with or are playing with fire then you need to put a detector in their room. You also need to seek help for that child from Fire & Life Safety (748-1426).
Once you know that the smoke alarms will wake your family up, will they know what to do next? I will spend next week talking about this.

Does one timeshare company get rofr more then the others?
I was just wondering of the 3 major resale companies does any have more luck getting people through? You would think that Fidelity would have more luck because Disney sends them their buisness. What are your thoughts?
I believe the resort, number of points in the contract, price agreed upon, and the seller paying the mf"s and/or closing costs have more to do with a contract being taken back by DVC. I do not think a listing agent has anything to do with it.
By sheer volume, my guess would be that Fidelity has more contracts ROFR'ed since they probably list and sell the most contracts. Stephen |
We went on the wait list for BCV Dec UY and were told that it would be around 3 months, so the info is consistent at least!
I'll post when I get word of the points coming available. |

Nov 15, 2012
Nov 15, 2012This is by far the best FPS, multi-player experience on a handheld ever. It's pretty awesome to be able to kick off a party, start a game and be chatting and playing COD from just about anywhere. 2 big thumbs up!
Nov 15, 2012A truly awful set of micro missions masquerading as a single-player campaign is balanced, in part, by an entertaining challenge mode and a solid multi-player offering. There is certainly fun to be had in the online mode, but whether that's worth the full price of admission is debatable. Read my full review at ukvitablog.co.uk

Nov 16, 2012
Nov 28, 2012I don't actually say i dislike this game but . . . it's was a deception, i like CoD but this one just made me want more, this game could have way better also it should have used the vita system better. My conclusion is that the story sucks . . . and multiplayer bug and crash a lot so i just enjoyed the hostile mode, good try but don't deserves a good critic.
Nov 14, 2012
Nov 15, 2012This game it so boring, broken and no fun at all, that i cant recommend this game under no circumstances to anyone ever. Almost no sp, bad mp make this game an insult to every gamer. Better play the real COD on 360/PS3.
Dec 3, 2012

Nov 18, 2012
Nov 17, 2012shockingly high amount of single user review reviews here that stink of the game developers making them here. I loved the guy who suggested it took him 7 hours to complete? the game has it's whole campaign on youtube already and it's completed in under 40mins. well done.

Nov 14, 2012IM surprised at this game campaign was actually fun and its actually good to relax and play some 4v4 multiplayer i would say its better than the console version but not enough to be vita killer app
Nov 14, 2012Great Game! Feels Just like COD, but on the go. It could it be more cheap because the lack of more maps and missions, but overall it's a great online experience on a portable game.
Nov 14, 2012Better than expected. Realistically this game deserves to be in the 8s. The online play is a lot of fun, I haven't had an issue with connectivity. Wish there was zombies.
Nov 15, 2012
Nov 15, 2012I'm very happy with this game. Although the singleplayer is short, there is a solid multiplayer experience. All the critic reviews are utter rubbish!
Nov 15, 2012
Nov 19, 2012Even the most hardcore of Call of Duty fans will be disappointed by this game. The campaign was only about an hour long, almost all of the models are recycled from previous call of duty games, and the multiplayer is extremely limited.
Definitely not worth the money. I legitimately feel bad for anyone unfortunate enough to have bought the Call of Duty Vita bundle. -
Nov 19, 2012
Nov 18, 2012As if Black Ops 2 wasn't already meh, let's take that and make it worse! This is what this game is. The single player campaign it's just a huge borefest, piss easy and short as f*ck. The multi player it's stripped down with crappy maps and less players. If you want a great online multiplayer for your PS Vita, just wait until Phantasy Star Online 2 or Monster Hunter Hunter will come.
Nov 17, 2012This is basically Black Ops in your pocket. Following on from Black Ops 1 - set in the same era.
Honestly - it's great. Don't listen to the critics or the haters who are upset they can't afford a premium game.
If you want to play COD multiplayer on the go then this is it. -
Dec 16, 2012
Nov 15, 2012I just don't get it.
Call of duty games are known for a short campaign mode and customizable online multiplayer.
In this game is not different so the game is fine by me.
A decent port, but nothing special -
Nov 16, 2012How cute, all those nihihihilistic developers giving their own games a 10 in the hope it sells.. well the campain takes about 45 minuts (yes indeed) the multiplayer is bad, it lacks content, gameplay and fun..
The only good thing about this game is that the controls are good.. -

Nov 16, 2012The game isn't a 10, but it's not 0 either.
The multiplayer is fast paced and thrilling, the only thing missing are bigger maps. It's almost similar to the console version. -
Nov 16, 2012
Nov 17, 2012Listen... I had this game for about 3 days. A lot of people have negative outputs for this game but for what? Yea, the campaign is horrible but its really multiplayer that drives COD. This game has a decent multiplayer. It's very entertaining and I'm happy for this title. All in all, no one really cares about campaign.. Stick to multiplayer, which is great.
Nov 17, 2012Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified is a total nonsense game that relies only on the name of the franchise to offer an unfinished product with numerous errors. A title totally expendable and it adds nothing to the catalog of Vita.
Nov 18, 2012Garbage like most vita games.Half ass made game and robbery at 50 bucks. I am not selling my ps vita i have owned just about every game and need 4 speed is the only game like the cousole. Nail in the coffen for the vita with big name garbage
Dec 1, 2012This can't be considered a videogame. This must be considered the worst GARBAGE ever made in the story of videogames. If you don't want to waste a lot of money, don't buy this game: the single player mode can be completed in 45 minutes!
Nov 24, 2012
Nov 29, 2012
Dec 27, 2012Steer clear of this piece of garbage that everyone was telling me was going to be "the game" that was going to spike Vita's sales singlehandedly. Two words come to mind.. "Epic Fail."
Dec 27, 2012
Dec 29, 2012Pros: It's COD on the Vita!
Cons: Everything else. Glitchy, poor performer. This game is not doing FPS on the Vita any favours! The multiplayer is not fun, nor are the missions. I really wanted this to work, but it doesn't. And believe me, I persisted! -
Mar 15, 2013The campaign is 1 hour long, has a week story, each mission is 5 minutes long, all the multiplayer maps are smaller versions of the original Black Ops (ex: Nukehouse), the hostiles mode is the same as MW3's Survival mode, Bad controls and bad AI. Its a okay game, but it has some major flaws

Dec 2, 2012I honestly don't understand the low scores this game has been getting. I have had it for a week now, and I love it. I am not trying to justify my purchase, it is a fun game, sure the ai is terrible, and the campaign is too short, but it's still fun, and so is the multiplayer.
Nov 20, 2012I agree 100% with Drumhead19's review. I could not have said it better myself. I gave it a slightly lower rating than Drumhead19 as the narrative for the campaign could have been better and the AI could have been better. I did play MP last night and was having some solid fun.
Nov 18, 2012It's very disappointing that this game doesn't even match the quality of Modern Combat 3 for iPhone. However the multiplayer is fun enough to save the shallow campaign mode.

Mar 11, 2013I'm very disappointed with this game. All over scripted rail shooter. This fps has one of the stupidest stories I have ever come across in a game,the characters are boring. The graphics are mediocore at best and bad at worst. This game is very short also,you can complete it in about 5 hours,definataly not worth your time and money.Horrible map design, horrible game design in general

Nov 19, 2012It's not perfect, not bad... just a great game for standalone special ops and multiplayer. Multipalyer it's fun, with classes and all.
Forget the campaign, stupid AI, short... etc.
Would be a great purchase if you want to play special ops on your freetime or waste time playing on multiplayer. -
Nov 20, 2012WOW. SONY VITA MAKES THIS GAME LOOK SICK!!!!

Jun 26, 2013Avoid this game, it is a broken pile of crap from Nihilistic. Animations, visuals, environments, and the bugs bring this game down. Not to mention the unstable servers. If you want a portable quality shooter experience, pre-order or go by Killzone: Mercenary when it comes out.
Aug 3, 2013this is one of the worst games i ever play its is so bad that i cried hint hint big black ops fan so yeah. the worst thing is the whole game they need a whole new storyline
Mar 30, 2014Я могу сказать одно. Кампания, это не для шутеров. Игру спасает отличный мультиплеер. Если вам нужен именно он, тогда берите КоД.

Nov 21, 2012Firstly, this is not a good game. However, this is still the best first person shooter on the Vita... but that's just not saying very much though as it's just not a good game aside from being able to see somewhat of what you will (hopefully) be able to do in FPS on the Vita.

Dec 2, 2012The multi player is actually quite good fun if you can get in.... However the game is so buggy I only manage to get online 2 times out of 10 I've submitted more bug reports than I can remember its just an epic fail. What a terrible game that could of been so much more. I'm glad I got it bundled with my Vita and didn't pay the full $50.

Dec 23, 2012This is everything that's right with COD. Huge multiplayer and a killer campaign. Not since COD 4 has there been such s pure, fantastic Call of Duty experience.

Jan 3, 2013Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified is one of the biggest disappointments for the Vita game library in 2012. After much deliberation due to the negative reviews online, I eventually took the plunge with low expectations
Mar 10, 2013
Feb 21, 2013This game deserves a bit of praise because it was made in under 6 months and is a game with a fully functional Multiplayer. I did love the Multiplayer part of the game, but the Single Player and Hostiles left me wanting to puke. So this game deserves a solid 5.
I would recommend buying other better Vita games that are cheaper and better. Such as Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation or Rayman Origins.
Jan 28, 2013Declassified feels like a disappointing DLC bundle rather than a full release. In its best moments it proves that Call of Duty could work on the console, and it has some good ideas – earning XP across single-player for multiplayer unlocks is particularly neat – but it's exceptionally hard to justify how this ended up with a $70 price tag. The very best PS Vita games have proven that, in the portable market, size can still matter. This lesson has, ironically, been ignored by gaming's biggest franchise. [January 2013, p76]
Jan 23, 2013This'll remind you of the very worst PSone FPS games. [Issue#227, p.77]
Jan 14, 2013This game should have stayed classified or, at the very least, been redacted.

Assuming that: a) you have a well chosen variety of rhododendron for your climate and for the spot you've planted it in, and b) you got a good hardy specimen from the nursery - what is the best way to encourage lush foliar growth and secondary and tertiary branches?
Is the secret soil pH, pruning, or nutrient supply (feeding)? Or...? I've had a few rhododendrons, a couple of which had a bit of a life before deer ate them down to sticks. So I do have some experience. Right now, I'm more interested in a good start to the structure and healthy green growth than I am in blooms... although I appreciate the blooms when they're there. But give me advice about shoots and leaves, please. Thanks. Joel |
Follow-Up Postings:
Joel, healthy happy rhododendrons are those planted in aerated soil (structure loose enough that air can enter spaces between particles as water drains out), and that means high in organic content. Acid soil, cool and moist with shelter from wind and excessive sun. Given those conditions, there is seldom a need to fertilize. Nitrogen will promote foliage growth (active growth occurs in Spring) but it's not a good plan to try forcing these shrubs with supplemental 'feeding' and especially not now (August) in a Z6. So your answer, once your shrubs have been correctly sited, is pruning, or better yet pinching. Some rhododendrons are just naturally leggy while others branch readily and grow into compact bushy forms. By pinching or breaking out leaf buds in the first few years after planting, you can shape potentially leggy plants into a more well balanced shape. As growth buds begin to elongate in Spring, pinch out the terminal buds. A plant hormone is produced by leaf buds which inhibits development of dormant buds along the stem (flower buds don't produce the hormone - leave those fat blunt nosed flower buds alone:)). If you start when the plant is young and keep it up about three years, you may only then need to occasionally pinch leaf buds which would grow out to unbalance the plant. As healthy rhododendrons mature, they being to produce more terminal flower buds and less terminal leaf buds and will require less of your attention to shaping. |

How cool can calla lilies handle? I want to put my calla lily outside but we're still having cool temps at night. Don't want it to go dormant again before it really gets going. Deanna |

Please help. I purchased my home last March and it has well established White Cali Lilies that bloomed like crazy last year and are doing the same this year. They seem to require little care other than keeping the snails off them and I cut them down at the end of the season. I found Yellow, Purlple, Pink and various other ones at HomeDepot and Lowes so I purchased about 8 off them in various size containers (quart and gallon). Each one I have planted are very sickly after transplanting. The leaves first turn yellow and then the blooms start going bad. I was hoping not to just have white ones but a multitude of colors but they don't seem to do well. I have one purple one still in the original one gallon pot that in doing good and I am afraid to transplant it. I feel I have wasted a lot of money on these. Please help. |

As of follow-up I am going to cut one of the sick ones down to the top of the ground and see if I get new growth. Each year I do cut the white ones down to top of the ground and they come back twice as strong the next year. |

gardenfanatic- is it dormant now or has it started growing? If it's growing, frost would be your main concern. Once growing, they don't usually go dormant until after flowering and then getting cold, shorter days, etc. tj |

frost will whack it back, this cold will just slow it down, way down but it will likely be ok...im still waiting if that tells you anything mason- yours will be fine, you need to water them lots when first planted, light fertilizer wont hurt either, make sure they are planted 6 inches deep as well, new foliage and blooms will be coming on in no time |

Make sure you don't water when it is cold. Most tropical/subtropical Aroids hate to be cold AND wet. Water on warm days c warm/tepid water. |
