Sonic 4 finally finds its voice, but is it one worth listening to
Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 was a lot of things. It was Sega's episodic New Super Mario Bros. – an attempt to retrofit new concepts in to an old framework, as a means to tap in to a nostalgic vein for those old enough to remember. Instead, Episode 1 confirmed what many die-hard Sonic fans had perhaps assumed all along: that nobody in a position of importance within Sega remembered what originally defined the Sonic franchise back in the early 90's. Sonic 4 Episode 1 was not only a chance to wind the hype machine, but to whip it in to such a frenzy that there was no way the decidedly lukewarm digital download could hope to fulfill its lofty promises. A lot of critics didn't get it – they'd more than likely written the Sonic franchise off years ago, and after having seen something halfway resembling a playable game, declared it a success. Episode 1 was definitely not a bad game, but it certainly wasn't a good one, either – I myself had compared it to a poor celebrity impersonator; it sort of had the look down, but it never quite nailed the performance. Given that it was simply "Episode 1" of what could be many, what would become of "Episode 2"? Would they seize the opportunity to make a something that was more faithful to the games it was paying tribute to, or were they content with another sub-par Sonic Rush in masquerade?
Sonic 4: Episode 2 sets out to divorce itself from Episode 1's legacy of being a "retro throwback". Eschewing a number of Sonic's more cut-and-dry level tropes, Episode 2 tries to play by its own tune, mixing and matching elements of past Sonic games with new concepts and a more detailed visual presentation. The end result is something that feels less like the ugly, confused baby of Sonic Rush and Sonic 1 and more like its own game – though perhaps comparisons towards the Sonic Advance games on the Gameboy Advance have become more apt. Sonic 4: Episode 1 was more like a square peg forced in to a round hole, but Episode 2 flows together much more smoothly, making it feel like a cohesive product with its own unique voice.
This is primarily due to the reintroduction of Tails, Sonic's faithful sidekick, who accompanies the blue blur through this leg of the adventure. Tails reprises his role of being a few steps behind Sonic at any given time, but more than that, he represents a suite of new abilities that have been tightly woven in to the fabric of Episode 2: Tag Actions. By combining their strengths, Sonic and Tails can use the power of friendship to access new areas and bowl through enemies. Using Tails is deeply ingrained in much of the level design, and there are quite a few areas that can only be accessed by using a tag action to reach them. In a way, it's the best of both worlds – you retain exclusive control of Sonic, but you also gain access to some of Tails' unique special abilities. Unfortunately, for however cool that idea is, this is still a game co-developed by Dimps, the same guys responsible for all of the aforementioned Sonic Advance and Sonic Rush games. In addition to twitchy, react-or-die level design (which should be expected by now from these guys), there are serious limitations on how Tails can be used that go far beyond previous games that featured him, and worse yet, levels are specifically made to spotlight these limitations as much as possible. Dimps was born out of former SNK employees, a company known for making games like Metal Slug, and this legacy of arcade-style, quarter-munching difficulty has always managed to seep through in to their Sonic games at the most inopportune times. Much like Episode 1, Episode 2 falls prey to unexpected and dramatic spikes in difficulty, and most of them center around prolonged sections where you're expected to use Tails to pilot Sonic across vast bottomless pits. If you do not deliberately and carefully meter out Tails' flight ability with near-perfect precision, expect to throw dozens of lives away in these areas.
If those were the only sticking points with regards to difficulty, that would be acceptable, but where Episode 2 truly frustrates is in its tedious boss encounters. Boss fights in Episode 1 were simple affairs: frequently starting out as riffs on bosses from existing Sonic games and then branching out in to their own unique attack patterns. They were easy, derivative and largely not worth mentioning – outside of the tedious and frustrating final boss, which vastly overstayed its welcome. All of the boss encounters in Episode 2 follow down a similar track, often with three entirely different attack phases depending on how damaged they are. While this can be a good thing, as battles are constantly evolving, it also means that all boss encounters in Sonic 4: Episode 2 are intentionally structured to take as long as many of the levels in the game. And while levels frequently have checkpoints to ensure that you don't lose much progress if you die, you're not so lucky when it comes to these boss encounters. I frequently found myself getting deep in to a boss only to be killed by a new attack pattern and having to start the entire fight over from the beginning, losing 3-4 minutes in the process. It's only made worse given the fact that each boss has a protracted introduction sequence, forcing you to wait around while things get started. Watching a scrap metal robot spend over 30 seconds assembling itself during the Oil Desert Boss is cool the first time, but by the 3rd or 4th viewing, you're going to be begging for a way to skip to the part where you bop it on the head eight times.
It all comes back to that moment you seem to run in to a lot in Sonic games, where the game is wasting your time out of fear that it could be criticized for being too short. That was certainly the case with Episode 1 – at its $15 launch price, it felt absolutely anemic next to similarly priced, considerably more involved games like Shadow Complex (or even existing re-releases of the 16-bit Sonic games). In the year and a half since release, Episode 1 has had a permanent reduction to $10, making it a little easier to swallow. Episode 2, on the other hand, is once again debuting at $15, bringing with it some additional content to make it feel a little more worth its price. Most notably is the game's 2 player co-op mode, with each player taking control of Sonic and Tails separately, both online or off. As is usually the case, even the worst games are made noticeably more fun when shared with a friend, and playing Episode 2 with a buddy can be a blast. Particularly memorable is how the game handles Sky Fortress Zone with two players, requiring a level of cooperative coordination that you rarely see in videogames. Unfortunately, even this mode has its own share of shortcomings, as regardless of whether or not you're on a couch together or across a continent, the camera fights to keep both players on the same screen at all times. And despite it being offered with Tails' debut appearance nearly 20 years ago, there are no head-to-head competitive modes – it's co-op or bust.
For owners of both episodes, you're afforded access to "Episode Metal", intended to be Episode 2's Sonic & Knuckles-style lock-on feature. Episode Metal affords you the ability to play Episode 1 stages like Splash Hill Zone as Metal Sonic, using Episode 2's improved controls, as well as serving to fill in the blanks between Metal's defeat at the end of Sonic CD and his reappearance in Sonic 4. Episode Metal is a pale shadow of the lock-on feature it's trying to emulate, playing like a hastily-edited, half-finished rom hack more than anything else. But ultimately you have to look at it as something they probably didn't have to include, and in that context it's a decent enough distraction for the ten or so minutes it lasts – though I can't help but wish there was more to it, as it's interesting to see how much Episode 2's differences in control effect Episode 1's content.
Not that Episode 2 is a dramatic improvement control-wise over Episode 1, mind you. Between Sonic 4 and Sonic Generations, it's clear that somebody at Sonic Team is still dedicated to reinventing the wheel rather than build from what was already proven successful two decades ago. The good news is that Episode 2 corrects enough of what was wrong with Episode 1's controls that any remaining inaccuracies in physics will probably only matter to sticklers and perfectionists. It's still not what you would call "fixed", but it's not broken enough to really matter anymore. The bad news is that while Episode 1 was a game where you played through classic Sonic levels using controls that were not designed to handle them, Episode 2 is almost the polar opposite: despite improvements to the way Sonic controls, level design offers few reasons to care – especially once you stumble in to the game's many (and by now, typical) autopilot sequences.
But what hasn't changed is the music – or, I guess, technically it has changed, but not in the way you would want it to. As stated in my Episode 1 review, even the worst Sonic games are typically known for having some of the best videogame music the industry has to offer. That most certainly was not the case when it came to Episode 1's strained, faux-retro soundtrack. Episode 2 doubles down on the grating sawtooth wave synths, pushing the soundtrack further away from its roots and more towards the buzzing chiptunes that defined platforms like the Commodore 64 or ZX Spectrum. Though its compositions may be more technically complex, its melodies and themes are significantly more repetitive, and unless you stop and really listen carefully, it feels like each song only lasts a few seconds before looping in to eternity. Little of the music is enjoyable enough for this to be considered a good thing, especially for as much as you're going to be hearing it. Sonic 4 continues to be not Jun Senoue's finest hour.
There was a time when the Dimps Sonic games were considered to be the only games in this franchise worth playing. Unfortunately, that era was nearly a decade ago – and Sonic 4: Episode 2 still falls prey to a number of the same old cheap, frustrating bad habits that dragged its predecessor down. In spite of this, the improvements it makes to the way Sonic handles are most definitely welcome – or they would be, if the level design felt more like it benefited from the upgrades. Despite featuring some extended content, Episode 2 still struggles to justify its $15 price tag, and given the presence of a "Downloadable Content" menu option, it's not hard to imagine we'll be paying even more for features that probably should have been included with the game from the start. But make no mistake, Sonic 4: Episode 2 still comes out ahead of Episode 1 as a better game… it just still has a way to go before it can truly live up to the 16-bit legacy it is so desperately trying to continue.

The Charleston region's foreclosure rate continues to decrease.
Real estate information firm CoreLogic reported today that home loans in foreclose totaled 1.86 percent of all outstanding mortgages in the Charleston-North Charleston-Summerville area in May.
That's a decrease of 0.08 percent from April and a decrease of 1.19 percent compared to May of 2013 when the region's rate was 3.05 percent, officials reported.
The Charleston region's foreclosure rate has been continually decreasing this year, but still higher than state and national averages.
By comparison, the South Carolina and U.S. foreclosure rates averaged 1.70 percent and 1.73 percent, respectively, for May.

Fall flowering shrub
Help identifying this shrub that is flowering z7 mid October. Strong and sweet smelling, pollinators love it.
Eleaeagnus. Invasive in some areas due to berries spread by birds and rapid growth. This one in particular looks like the one that puts out long whips of growth, requiring a lot of pruning to keep under control. My neighbor's yard is full of them and now they are popping up in all the surrounding yards.
Also recognized by the silvery color on the back of the leaves.
Thanks for the response. You are right about the long wips. I'm using the plant to block the view on the corner of my lot and it serves purpose well. Interestingly it is not expanding and I haven't found it spreading elsewhere. I cut the wips down in the winter to a selected height. The flowers are a wonderful perfume that I smell a hundred feet away.
My Elaeagnus x ebbingei 'Gilt Edge' is blooming right now. Really nice fragrance. They also have edible fruit.
There are a number of attractive variegated cultivars -- Limelight, Gold Splash, Eleodor, etc. I do not believe these are as 'invasive' and they don't have the thorny spurs that E. pungens does.

Magnavox Model: 50MF231D/37 Chassis: EP1.1U AA
Picture had been slow to come on past couple months, sound was fine. Two weeks ago it quit coming on and repeatedly flashed 4 red blinks down by the power light. I searched around and found out about the two 3300uf 10v capacitors that commonly go bad. I replaced these capacitors with 3300uf 16v ones. Television came on and worked fine. I updated the software from the Magnavox site and all was well. Three days later it shut off while I was watching it. It clicked off like I had pressed the power button. The green power light was still on. Pressing the power button turned the green light off. Now when I turn it on just the green power light comes on. If I unplug it and plug it back in two green lights on the power supply light up for a moment and I hear it click, then they go out separately accompanied by two clicks.
Thanks for any help.

Changing the culture of a school? Leaders who inherit programs long "held" by "dominions" (i.e. long-standing leadership) will face more daunting challenges. This may seem obvious to many, but this 15th Century verse is a helpful reminder for leaders dealing with people who are mired in doing things "the way they have always been done" and who won't feel the necessity to change their ways.

Product Information
- Scratch Art Door Hanger Party Pack from Melissa & Doug
- Part of the Scratch Art brand
- We recommend this product for ages 4 and up
What It Is
The Scratch Art Door Hanger Party Pack from Melissa & Doug is an arts and crafts kit that lets kids create their own Scratch Art door hangers. The kit comes with six Scratch Art door hangers, six wooden stylus tools, and instructions. Place the tip of the wooden stylus against the black-coated side of the door hanger and scratch away to reveal a rainbow of colors and create unique designs. Kids can draw shapes, patterns, write their names or even a to the point "Keep out!" message. Once complete, kids will have their own personalized door hanger to use.
Is It Fun?
If you're on the hunt for a fun kit for your child or an easy craft activity to use for a kid's party, we think this is a great kit to consider. Especially in a party setting where kids aren't going to want to sit to listen to long instructions, as long as a child knows how to use a crayon or pencil, little instruction is needed. The door hangers also make for a much more fun and personalized party souvenir for a child to take home with them. We also like that the activity is very open-ended offering kids the chance to get creative with their door hanger designs.
Who It's For
The Scratch Art Door Hanger Party Pack is for ages 4 and up.
What To Be Aware Of
Melissa and Doug suggest using a tissue or soft cloth to wipe away the excess black scratch art specks that will develop as you scratch. If your stylus begins to dull, rub it with some sandpaper to sharpen the tip back up.
Remind kids to start small on their design because once the Scratch Art surface is scratched off there is no way to start over.
There isn't really any repeat play, other than enjoying one's creations. As noted, once the surface is scratched, it can't be restored.

This is so cool. Like right out of a faery tale. It's really awesome to see such a heavy tone of tradition, highlighted by hints of modernity.Oct 15th, 2012 Reply
That is Japan's blessing and curse: a constant state of juxtaposition. While maintaining traditional culture, it often leaves them rudderless navigating the stream of the future....or something like that.Oct 16th, 2012 Reply

Amazon is now allowing students to rent textbooks on their Kindle and Kindle apps. The e-commerce giant is launching Kindle Textbook Rental today, which allows students to save up to 80% off textbook list prices by renting textbooks from the Kindle Store.
Amazon says that students can customize rental periods between 30 and 360 days, so students only pay for the specific amount of time they need a book. And students can extend the rental time if they need more time to use the textbook. The company says that "tens of thousands of textbooks" are available for the 2011 school year from publishers such as John Wiley & Sons, Elsevier and Taylor & Francis.
The company is also extending its Whispersync technology so that students can get to keep and access all of their notes and highlighted content in the Amazon Cloud, even after a rental expires.
Savings, says the company, amount to up to 80% off the print list price on a 30-day rental. For example, an accounting textbook costs $109.20 to buy the actual book, but starts at $38.29 to rent the textbook.
Kindle Textbooks can be read across both the Kindle devices and Amazon's free Kindle Reading Apps for PC, Mac, iPad, iPod touch, iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Phone and Android-based devices.

Rooguchi - plant and blooms pics
cnetter(z5 Co)June 19, 2009
My Rooguchi is still a young plant (two years old), but it's a vigorous plant. It is just getting started here in Colorado. It was pruned pretty close to the ground this spring.
cnetter(z5 Co)
There's a trellis/obelisk thingy in the middle that is about the same height as the clematis. I wove the vines in when they were short and they now grab onto the obelisk. Rooguchi grips more than other integrifolias I have. Petit Faucon doesn't grip at all.

User talk:Zhangyunfan
Hi Zhangyunfan. Welcome to English Wikiquote.
- For a quick overview of what Wikiquote is, read Wikiquote:Wikiquote.
- To ask for help or to talk with another editor, visit our Village pump.
- To browse Wikiquote, take a look at our browsing start page.
- To sign with a date, write four tildes (~~~~) and save.
- Before creating new articles, consult our guide. You may practice how to edit a page at Sandbox.
- Be bold.
Enjoy! ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:27, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
About Warcraft[edit]
Dear Jeffq:
May be you are right and the article of Warcraft should be trimmed.
Now I have modified some parts of the article. See HERE. This is an example of what I have modified. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zhangyunfan (talk • contribs) 16:37, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- First, please read the welcome info I posted above, especially the recommendation that you sign your talk page posts. You should also read Wikiquote:How to edit a page, as you are using a lot of HTML unnecessarily. We try to stick to wiki markup to make editing easier for everyone.
- Based on the modified section, it seems that you are trying to do some alternative grouping, but I'm afraid I don't get what that grouping is. (I imagine is has something to do with play or action modes, but that isn't made clear either by the WQ article or anything I've found so far in w:Warcraft Universe.)
- Wikiquote articles should be comprehensible to any reader, not just fans of each subject. They should follow formatting and structure guidelines for articles of their type, not use something so novel that it will leave the average reader bewildered. This is a common problem when editors add quotes, so you are in good company. (I am constantly trying to get Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans, of which I am one, to avoid dumping whole scenes and MSTie-only knowledge into that article.) There are probably many places where Warcraft can be quoted, discussed, and dissected by fans with plenty of inside knowledge, but this isn't one of them.
- If you haven't already, you might take a look at User:Jaxl/Warcraft. Robert's severely trimmed version of this article achieves three major Wikiquote goals:
- It pares the content down to a select set of pithy quotes. (I'm not saying it must be this small, but it should be kept to a reasonable percentage and should focus on unique and interesting quotes, not just stuff people say.)
- It is organized by work (game) and provides source information (with scenes) that allow readers to more easily verify the information.
- It uses standard wiki formatting, avoiding HTML markup wherever possible.
- In short, this article can be understood, edited, and verified by the wider Wikiquote readership, and avoids copyvio. These elements are essential to make Wikimedia articles useful. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 18:13, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Your account will be renamed[edit]
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Zhangyunfan. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Zhangyunfan~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Juliette Magill Kinzie Gordon Low was the founder of the...
William Jay (ca. 1792-1837)
William Jay was an English-trained architect who, from 1817 to 1820, practiced in Savannah, where
Jay was born in 1792 or 1793 in Bath, England, to a family of stonemasons. From 1807 to 1813 he apprenticed in London with the architect David Riddall Roper, who built mostly in the Greek revival and Gothic revival styles. Jay's only known commission in London is the neoclassical-style Albion Chapel (1816), Moorgate, a square-shaped church with a recessed Ionic entry and a Pantheon-like dome.
In December 1817 Jay arrived in Savannah as the city's premier architect and one of the best-trained architects in America. The Richardson-Owens-Thomas House (1819), a commission he received through a family connection, was the first of a series of neoclassical-style mansions Jay designed and features a Regency-style side porch supported by foliated consoles (leaf-shaped decorative brackets). The interior plans of the William Scarbrough House (1819), which later became the headquarters for the Historic Savannah Foundation, and the Alexander Telfair House (1819), which later became the Telfair Museum of Art, are configured in circular, oval, and elliptical shapes. In the Bulloch House (1818-19) Jay called for a dramatic spiral stair surrounded by Corinthian columns. Jay's last commission in Savannah was the Bank of the United States (1821), an early Greek revival–style
After returning to England in 1822, Jay produced designs for Pittville Parade, a large, six-unit row house. When the speculative Pittsville development failed in 1829, Jay went bankrupt and in 1836 was forced to accept the position of colonial architect and civil engineer on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar. Jay worked on the island until his death in 1837 in Port Louis, Mauritius.

Original Draft by Wayne Gagn - March 9, 1986
Revised Draft by R. T. Martin - October 27, 1988
Re-formatted version of Martin Draft (below) by Ed Stevens - April 30, 1992
(Note - this Policy needs considerable wordsmithing before being approved and, any revision must not exceed the formatted space allocated below)
In Hawai`i, the extensive and long-term degradation, even destruction, of native ecosystems, along with man's agricultural and botanical endeavors, by alien plants is only dimly perceived by society. Until social, political, and regulatory awareness is raised to the level where effective preventative and control measures are taken, we will continue to suffer biological, social, and economic losses from alien plants that exceed the cost of effective prevention and control.
Policy Statement
It shall be the policy of Sierra Club, Hawai`i Chapter, to support educational, legislative, regulatory, and other means to restrict entry or to effect early eradication or long term control of undesirable alien plants in order to reduce their impact on the Hawai`i ecosystem.
Position Statements
- 1. Alien plants cause problems in Hawai`i in the following ways:
- a) They invade, degrade, and destroy the native ecosystems of Hawai`i;
- b) They reduce the profitability of agricultural endeavors;
- c) They reduce the success of man's botanical endeavors;
- d) They harbor and introduce alien insects and pathogens that attack or destroy native and cultivated plants alike;
- e) They cause a heavy burden to a society slow to recognize the need for early eradication or control;
- 2. Prevention or reduction of these problems involves:
- a) An extremely high level of professionalism and dedication (starting at the top) within the involved regulatory agency;
- b) An enlightened community actively encouraging and supporting efforts of the regulatory agency;
- c) An agressive quarantine program to exclude plants recognized to be undesirable;
- d) Early recognition of "overly aggressive" or undesirable traits of newly arrived introductions;
- e) Aggressive eradication of undesirable alien plants before initial infestation is too large to control;
- f) Early introduction of biological or other control measures to alleviate damage from infestations beyond eradication;
- g) An effective publication program to maintain support for needed action.
- 3. State Statutes designate the Hawai`i Department of Agriculture as the regulatory agency for:
- a) Plant quarantine;
- b) Noxious weed control.
- 4. Alien plant control requires continuous effort and input to attain a cost effective level of success.
This Policy on Alien Plant Control has not been approved by the Sierra Club Hawai`i Chapter Executive Committee.

That's funny, I do the same. Had a friend pick me up some Cigar City and Terrapin when she went to Atlanta and Orlando over xmas.
And I'm dog sitting for a friend next weekend and she's going to MN, so I told her to get me some Surly.
The Revolver is excellent!
Should have picked up something by Karbach. They make my favorite IIPA, Rodeo Clown.
Just had my friend pick me up some Surly on her trip to MN. I knew I'd never go there for any reason
Both the Revolver Blood and Honey and Community Mosiac IPA are really good beers

"Mr. Speaker, what is getting this Social Credit government in trouble with the people is their damn foolishness."
VICTORIA — Toward the end of a long life, Alex Macdonald would sometimes visit the B.C. legislature that he inhabited so memorably for so many years. Those occasions were not to be missed. With an ever-present and unlit cigar in his mouth, Macdonald would hold forth in the corridor, dispensing anecdotes, pungent observations and the occasional pamphlet.
His mother and her three siblings all died of dementia so when David Suzuki hosts the next episode of the Nature of Things on Nov. 14, viewers will see an unusually personal and "long overdue" episode on Alzheimer's disease. One of the most dramatic moments in the television program involves a re-creation of a night, 30 years ago, when Suzuki's mother vanished from BC Women's Hospital. The family had gathered there for the birth of his daughter (one of his five children). But the celebration turned into a harrowing nightmare as Suzuki's mother went missing for many hours. Police eventually found her in Marpole, after receiving a call that a woman was trying to gain entry to a blue Volkswagen van.

Fiery Louis Farrakhan of Nation of Islam fame said during his weekly video sermon that white people have a history of stirring up trouble, and that Allah has chosen blacks "to give life" and sit at the "top of civilization."
He also "issued the final call," as he termed it: "I say to the Pope and all the lovers of Jesus, if you desire, let's have a showdown. You call the Jesus that you know, and I'll call on the Jesus that I know, and let's see which one of us really knows Jesus."
Mr. Farrakhan quoted widely from Elijah Muhammed, a former leader of the Nation of Islam, in making his case for the abolition of whites, The Blaze reported.
Among his comments, The Blaze reported: "According to the history of the white race, they are guilty of making trouble, causing war among the people and themselves ever since they have been on our planet Earth. So, the God of the righteous has found them disagreeable to live with in peace and has decided to remove them from the face of the Earth."
He then said: "We are the victims of these troublemakers. Allah will fight this war for the sake of his people, and especially for the American so-called Negroes."

Superior line within Lennox - opinions?
My builder is recommending (and has installed in other homes) the Superior BC-42 wood burning fireplace. I guess Lennox's Superior line is geared towards architects and builders. Anyone have an opinion or experience with these and more specifically the BC-42?
Below is a link:
Here is a link that might be useful: Lennox/Superior BC-42 Wood burning Fireplace
Lennox bought Superior a in 2000ish. Those are what are refered to as a builder box, or by many a disposable fireplace. They are cheap thin metal, cheap thin refractories and if you use it daily in the winter, it might last 5 years before the refractories are toast and metal rusted and mis-shaped from the heat. And on the subject of heat, it'll cool you house when you use it, not heat it, even with doors and a fan. And it probably does not come with either, doors and a fan will cost more than the fireplace itself. Replacement refractories cost twice what the whole unit does, if that says anything. If you want a wood fireplace for an ocasional fire, look at a fully insulated unit. If you want it to actually make heat, then there is a whole other price range and list of options. Sorry to be so negative, I was just really disappointed in the Superior KC-38 that was put in my house in 1998.
Ouch. Yes that is negative and worrisome for me to hear but at least you are speaking from real experience with one of their products. I am not sure what I would be given for an allowance on this, which will have to drive my decision on choosing another product to some degree, but something tells me it won't be much. :(
Anyone else with experience on these products?
As long as you don't plan to use it everyday in the winter and generate heat with it, then it'll serve its purpose as an occasional fireplace for ambience. You could call a fireplace store and price it out, they are probably $600-$700 without doors. A unit that will generate heat and stand up to daily use is going to run well over $2000. So you can see the difference. I'm sure that many people that use them as an occasional fireplace are perfectly happy with them, but that was not how I envisioned mine. I wanted to burn it daily and have it heat the house. That is why I tore it out and went with the Optifire, and I couldn't say enough good things about that model. Also keep in mind that once the spring outdoor kitchen season passes, fireplace stores are hurting for business unless they have diversified into something else, and offer some pretty good discounts.
I agree with everything that has been said above about Superior. It is everythin but . . . Our 1985 vintage house has one of them, probably not the same model you were offered by your builder. We used it only occasionally for ambience, burning fake logs that you get from the supermarket. But we recently had installed into the cheap fireplace a direct vent gas logs system, which is highly energy efficient, safe and clean. It does more than make a pretty, drafty fire. It really warms the room, and it looks great. These direct vent systems should not be confused with ordinary gas logs, which send most of their heat up the chimney. If you are seriously interested in a direct vent system, you should buy and have one installed by a specialist. Your building contractor probably does not know enough about them. And they cost much more than $1000.
What is a direct vent log set?
if you do a search on this forum for "direct vent" you will see several posts on the subject. briefly, a direct vent gas fireplace (or fireplace insert) is a sealed firebox with 2 vents to the outside, one exhausts the fumes from the fire, and the other brings in fresh air from the outside to feed the combustion. so you do not affect indoor air quality. systems that are not direct vent can reduce the oxygen level in you home and produce some fumes from the fire, and are in many building codes outlawed in sleeping rooms because they are a safety hazard. direct vent is also highly energy efficient. after a few minutes they can feel like a blast furnace, and you need a remote control thermostat, usually available at extra cost, to manage that. in my experience, i highly recommend such a thermostat. they charge too much for them, based on what they probably cost to make, but you really need them.
If you're interested in finding out more about direct vent systems, the consumer reports website has a brief explanation about them, and the reasons why you should avoid other systems. then, if you are still interested, google direct vent gas and you can shop around for the different manufacturers and pick the one you want. be prepared to pay big bucks. we got our insert for serious heat because here in north carolina we sometimes get power outages in ice storms, and this will keep us from freezing.
we like the jotul brand, made in Norway and assembled in Maine. they make real quality products. but there are many others that are just as good, some less expensive than jotul. one thing I did not like about jotul, they do not have a 800 # customer service, because when you call it, you get a recorded message referring you to the retail dealer.
whatever you decide, make very sure the people who will do the installation are proven to be competent. ask around, check work they did for others, etc. putting in a fireplace from scratch will probably take 3-4 days. Our insert took over a day.
happy hunting

Trust God's love in difficult times, bishop counsels Knights
A relationship with God is the most important thing to remember in difficult times, said Bishop John Noonan of Orlando at the opening Mass for the 132nd Knights of Columbus Supreme Convention.
Bishop Noonan spoke Aug. 5 to 11 cardinals, 90 bishops, and around 2,000 Knights and their families from throughout the country and the world in attendance at Orlando World Center Marriott in Florida.
"When I walked into the room and saw all these bishops and cardinals I was nervous and made a good act of contrition – I thought it might be my funeral," he quipped before continuing the homily.
"These past few months have been difficult and I am reminded of these words: 'These are the times that try men's souls,'…written by Thomas Paine during the American Revolutionary war," Bishop Noonan said. "These words may ring true today to summarize the state of our world."
Among the challenges facing the world today are gridlocked, extreme politics, economic turmoil and a lack of respect for human life, particularly through wars and violence, the bishop said.
"These are the challenges of life we face today and we ask – what will the future be like?"
But even amidst suffering, God's love is unconditional, Bishop Noonan said, and Pope Francis has especially showed the world how to live out the joy of the Gospel even in today's troubled world.
"He captures the world with his humility and simplicity," the bishop said. "Riding on a bus with other cardinals, paying his hotel bill, riding around in a Ford Focus."
"Those of you who have a Ford Focus are honored – you have a Popemobile," he joked.
The Gospel reading of the day from Matthew calls into question our own faith, as we see Peter fail to trust Jesus as he begins to sink into the water, the bishop observed.
"Jesus reminds him, and you and me, 'O you of little faith, why did you doubt,'" he noted, adding, "Where is our faith today? Can we be called 'of little faith?'"
Peter finally puts his trust in Christ's love after being asked by Jesus three times, "Do you love me?" And like Peter, we are called to accept the love of God in our lives as a transforming force in these trying times, Bishop Noonan said.
"We too are challenged by the trials and tribulations of life; are we too busy or too self-confident to answer Jesus' question, 'Do you love me?'"

On Thursday, I found out there was a 5K schedule for the 21st right here in my town. The first thing was think I should totally do this and then the next thought was "What are you thinking? You are already doing one next week. Don't ask for trouble." I decided to stuff the negative thoughts down and just go. Holly couldn't go (even though she is the one who told me about the race) and it was looking like I was going to do it alone. I mean my Hubby and Glitter Bug were going to be there to cheer me on. And another friend agreed to go with me.
So the big day arrived today. I am totally rocking those running pants and basketball shorts. This is pre-race still smiling because I have no clue what is coming up. And the nerves kicking in, big time! Thank goodness Hubby, Glitter Bug, and Jack were still calm and telling me the race can be done. Not long after this picture was taken they called for all the runner to head to the start line. As the runners starting lining up, I was second thoughts but Jack was there to help me start and finish the race. Then boom! We were off, running up hill. At this point, I found out I still need lots of training to do. There was running, walking and talking for the first two miles.
Remember the basket ball shorts? They became too much in this heat (if you call 60 degrees heat. I do in winter). So here we are in a house subdivision walking and I stop and remove the basket ball shorts. Giggle fit hit because I am pretty sure seeing a woman stepping out of shorts was funny.
I will not lie the last mile was very hard and I totally thought the end would never come. When the mile 3 sign was spotted a little part of me just wanted to go hug the sign and stay there but Jack was encouraging me to finish the race.
49 minutes after I started the race, I finished the race. My first 5K was under an hour and over! Then it hit me: I can't wait until the next 5K.
Until we next meet,

Junior Member

Anyone got insight to this week's champs yet? Would be nice to be able to do some research on champs before the patch is out and I get home from work.

Why do you let master yi be free to play two weeks IN A ROW, instead of letting players try champs that actually take skill. master yi is already free to play right now in week 40 stop this!
