[EE00] =============================================================================== INTRODUCTION [IN00] =============================================================================== - RESIDENT EVIL 4 PROFESSIONAL MODE If you've played Resident Evil 4 on Professional Mode then you'll likely remember how hard the game can get while attempting to beat it on the hardest available difficulty. Professional mode was unlocked after beating Resident Evil 4 on normal mode. The player had to start the game with only default weapons and could not carry over any upgrades from the previous game. The enemies were tougher, more aggressive and Leon took more damage from enemies in Professional mode. To make matters worse, the melee vest that Leon could obtain was not even available in Professional Mode. - RESIDENT EVIL 5 PROFESSIONAL MODE Resident Evil 5's Professional Mode is unlocked by finishing all chapters on Verteran difficulty. Most of the time, a player will go into dying status with a single attack in Professional mode and dying status only last for about 3 seconds, which doesn't give a player much time to resuscitate a fallen partner. Luckily, all weapons and items that are gained on previous modes can be used on Professional mode by selecting them through the main inventory screen. Like in Resident Evil 4, normal enemies are once again much more aggressive to the point of being complete maniacs in Professional Mode. Load up a game of Chapter 1-1 and try the Public Assembly timed portion with only the default handgun to see just how bad the AI Majini can get in Professional. All fixed ammo pickups in environments are gone and all random items from barrels and other breakable objects will usually only give a player gold, though the gold is worth double the amount that it used to be worth in lower difficulties. A player must bring along ammo and not depend on ammo found in the chapter while playing Professional mode in Resident Evil 5. - RESIDENT EVIL 5 PROFESSIONAL MODE GUIDE This Professional Mode guide provides the reader with a full walkthrough of Resident Evil 5's hardest mode of difficulty. Sure, I could simply tell you to use infinite ammo and bring the infinite rocket launcher with your character and basically be done with this guide. This guide assumes that the reader is going through Professional Mode in single player mode with high-powered weapons; whether you use infinite ammo or a rocket launcher or not is up to you. I've highlighted a way to bring down each boss with normal weapons and a rocket launcher. This guide provides you with much more than just simple tips of a few situations. Nearly every enemy encounter is highlighted in detail on how to handle the fight in Professional mode. I'm not going to tell you exactly where to go all the time in each chapter since this is a Professional mode walkthrough and you should know the basics of the game by now. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - FULL RESIDENT EVIL 5 GUIDE BY BERSERKER If you want to completely tear through Resident Evil 5 and get full enjoyment out of your many playthroughs of the game then check out my full Resident Evil 5 guide (version "Haymaker") on GameFAQs: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps3/file/929198/56203 - FRESH PROFESSIONAL MODE GUIDE BY FRINKIE If you want some tips on how to get through Professional Mode using the default inventory and weapons as if starting a new game then check out Frinkie's (ngc628) Fresh Professional Mode Guide on GameFAQs: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps3/file/929198/57302 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - =============================================================================== PROFESSION MODE BASICS [PB00] =============================================================================== =============================== How to unlock Professional Mode =============================== Professional Mode is unlocked after beating all chapter on Veteran difficulty. A player can also unlock Professional mode by joining or being invited to a Professional mode chapter in co-op play. If the player finishes that chapter, then Professional mode will be unlocked on the joining player's main save file. ============================================= What is Gained From Beating Professional Mode ============================================= The following trophy/achievement is the only unlockable that can be obtained from finishing Professional mode: --> War Hero Trophy type: Gold Gamerscore Amount: 70 Description: Complete all chapters on Professional. ====================== The Basics of Pro mode ====================== The following is a list of differences that a player will find in Professional mode when compared to Amateur, Normal and Veteran mode: (*) Fixed ammo (or explosive) pickups are no longer available throughout the chapter areas. (*) Tomato and melon breakable objects contain no items. (*) All fixed healing items still remain in place and they are listed in walkthrough below. (*) All gold pickups are worth double the amount. Even 3,000 gold pickups are now worth 6,000. (*) Just about every enemy hit will send a character into dying status. (*) Dying status last a sum total of 3 seconds. (*) Enemies are now INCREDIBLY aggressive. (*) Enemies now target the player instead of the AI partner far more than in other modes. (*) Enemies now rise faster once knocked down. ====================== Professional Mode Tips ====================== - HAVE A BUNCH OF AMMO IN YOUR MAIN INVENTORY Be sure to have a big supply of ammo for each gun. You'll need a bunch of rifle ammo for the later chapters. The rifle is also one of the better weapons to give to the AI partner as the chapters progress. - ENEMIES TARGET THE PLAYER On Pro mode, a player doesn't really have to worry about the AI partner that much. The enemies are out to target the player more than the partner this time. The AI partner will mainly get hit from Majini that accidentally hit that character when trying to hit the player. - INVINCIBILITY ANIMATIONS Use invincibility frames to your advantage. Pick up a useless item on purpose to avoid getting hit. This is a VERY important factor in Pro mode, especially in the Public Assembly. - RELOAD THROUGH THE INVENTORY MENU If you choose to play without infinite ammo, then reload through the inventory menu often. Open the inventory menu and combine the ammo with the gun. Try to reload during a melee attack or any other animation such as climbing or ladder or even a shotgun blast if you're quick enough. - RESUSCITATION > ITEM HEALING DURING DYING STATUS A Resuscitation is much quicker than an item heal when a character is in dying status. Healing with an item is very risky in Pro mode if the characters are not side by side once one player gets hit. - THE AI PARTNER SHOULD NOT STOCK HEALING ITEMS Since the enemies will mainly target the player, the main player should store all the healing items so that the AI partner will quickly resuscitate when the player is hit instead of using a healing item. Heal afterward! If the AI partner picks up an herb, request it from that character. Immediate Resuscitation IS that important in Pro mode. - HEALING WITH EGGS Instead of brining along healing items such as green herbs or first aid sprays, a player can bring along several eggs. Eggs don't take up as much space if only one type is brought along since one type is grouped into a single inventory slot and the egg will not be used during a resusciation like an herb and a first aid spray will be. - MAKE USE OF COVER MODE Keep the AI partner in Cover mode ("Come on), so that character will stick by the main player. - THE BULLETPROOF VEST CAN HELP FOR BULLETS AND ARROWS Arrows will only take half life when a character is hit with an arrow while wearing a bullet proof vest as opposed to instant dying status. Bullets from machine guns will not always take a character down to near dying status per bullet when the bullet proof vest is worn on stages with Base Majini with machine guns. - THE MELEE VEST CAN HELP FOR SOME MELEE ATTACKS Not all melee attacks will be fatal while the melee vest is worn by a character. The attacks will sometimes take off around 75% of a character's health instead of the full 100%. This will differ among attacks however. Some melee attacks will still send a player into immediate dying status regardless of whether the melee vest is worn or not. Really, the Bulletproof vest is more useful, but the melee vest can help just a bit. - TOMATOES AND MELONS HOLD NO ITEMS Don't bother breaking stacks of tomatoes or melons since they never hold items in Pro mode. - FLASH ROUNDS ARE YOUR FRIEND A grenade launcher with flash rounds is a good way to stun any Majini that have a crossbow or any Majini that will try to run from your characters. Flash rounds also cause Majini with cocktails to drop their cocktails while stunned and burn themselves and any other Majini near them. - USE FLASH EXPLOSIONS ON PARASITIC ENEMIES Either flash rounds or flash grenades should be used to instantly kill parasitic enemies such as Cephalos or Duvalias. They can also be used against Bui kichwa, Adjules that showcase their plagas insides, and Kipepeos. - CANCEL A PARASITIC ENEMY APPEARANCE WHEN POSSIBLE An instant kill melee from behind or a tag team melee will instantly cancel any scripted Cephalo or Duvalia transformation. - NITROGEN ROUNDS + MACHINE GUN = DEAD LICKERS Carry nitrogen rounds and a machine gun into a chapter where Lickers are present. Fire a nitrogen round directly into the middle of a group of Lickers then spray their frozen bodies with machine gun fire to instantly shatter them. - NITROGEN ROUNDS CAN FREEZE ARMORED MAJINI, EVEN THOSE WITH A METAL SHIELD If a heavily armored Majini is in an area, a player can use a magnum to shoot through the Majini's armor or the player can fire a nitrogen round then shatter the Majini. One thing that a magnum cannot do is shoot through a metal shield however, but a nitrogen round can freeze a Majini regardless of whether it holds a metal shield or not. The Majini will actually drop the metal shield once frozen. ================================ Weapon Uses in Professional Mode ================================ M92F handgun ------------ When fully powered, this weapon's critical rate will cause it to instantly pop a Majini's head through a critical shot for the majority of headshots. Aim at a Majini's head and fire and you'll most likely get a critical headshot. The critical headshot can ruin melee attempts when up against a crowd (using the melee for invincibility) so it's not always good to aim for the head however. The M92F also carries an extreme capacity of 100 bullets, so really a player doesn't need to bring any extra handgun bullets or worry much about reloading while using this handgun. P9 handgun ---------- This weapon is the only handgun with a piercing propertly, which is extremely useful against Wetland Majini that carry shields. It can also be used to shoot through multiple enemies that stand in a crowd. SIG P226 handgun ---------------- The P226 handgun is the most powerful handgun overall, but it has not special properties that make it useful outside of damage. If you're just going for sheer damage a target then this if your best bet when it comes to a handgun. Ithaca shotgun -------------- The Ithaca shotgun has the highest capacity and critical rate out of any of the shotguns once it is fully upgraded. It's critical rate can give the user more of a chance at head pops when aimed at a Majini's head when compared to other shotguns. It might even blow off multiple heads when aimed at a crowd. M37 shotgun ----------- The M37 shotgun is the most powerful shotgun when fully upgraded, but it lacks any special properties. It can still achieve critical headshots though not as much as the Ithaca shotgun. This can be a good weapon to damage bosses with, but the Hydra is still more damaging altogether. Jail Breaker shotgun -------------------- The Jail Breaker is the least damaging of all the shotgun, but it's tight spread allows it to push back crowds or distant enemies rather easily. You don't really want to attack that much with this weapon, you mainly just want to blast the enemy out of your way then run by it. Hydra shotgun ------------- It is said to only have a firepower of 500, but this shotgun can easily be one of the most powerful weapons to have when up against a boss or any type of enemy. It's tight spread makes it damage for more than 500 when it is aimed at a single target from close range. The only real flaw is that a player must get in close range for maximum damage and the reload time can be very lengthy, so inventory reloading it needed while using this weapon. VZ61 machine gun ---------------- The VZ61 can ground enemies rather easily when aimed at their legs and it is one of the more accurate machine guns. It has the highest critical rate out of any of the machine guns, so a player can aim for the heads of a crowd of enemies and most likely get a few critical shots while firing. The VZ61 can also carry the most bullets at a time without the need to reload that often. H&K MP5 machine gun ------------------- This is an all around good machine gun to have with your character. It's basically just as accurate as the VZ61 and it is the only machine gun that can pierce through Wetland Majini shields or multiple enemies. SIG 556 machine gun ------------------- The SIG 556 has more recoil than the other two machine guns listed above, but it has an overall good damage rate, which is higher than the VZ61 and MP5. AK-47 machine gun ----------------- The AK is the most damaging machine gun but it's recoil causes it to be the mosts inaccurate in the machine gun category. If you're going for sheer damage then this machine gun will be your best bet. The AK can be good for boss enemies when a player wants to spam gunfire to a single portion. It also carries the least amount of ammo at a time and has a lengthy reload time. S75 rifle --------- The S75 rifle is the most damaging rifle and it can carry a total of 50 bullets when fully maxed out. This is a good sniping rifle to have with your character in stages where a rifle is needed when a player doesn't want to worry about bringing extra ammo. The bullet ejection per shot can leave a character open to attack however unlike the other rifles. Dragunov rifle -------------- The Dragunov rifle's autofire allows a player to spam gunfire on a single target which can make it useful for boss fights. The rifle is slightly less accurate when compared to the S75 and PSG-1 thanks to the constant movement while aiming through it's scope. PSG-1 rifle ----------- The PSG-1 rifle is autofire rifle like the Dragunov, but it it is slightly more accurate. Once full upgraded, it's zoom will allow a player to hit targets from an extreme distance which can make it really useful for chapters where enemies lie in wait up ahead. The only real flaw is that it can't carry as much ammo as the Dragunov. S&W M29 magnum -------------- This magnum takes a some dencent damage for a magnum, but most importantly it can fire multiple shots at a quick rate. Since it can fire faster, this quality actually makes it really more useful than the M500 magnum since the M500 magnum has such a heavy recoil per shot fired - this thought is mainly up to the player to decide though. This is an extremely good weapon to use against bosses or any Majini with armor. All magnums have piercing, so the shot will always go right through heavy armor but not iron shields. L. Hawk magnum -------------- The L. Hawk has a lower damage rate when compared to the M29 magnum and it (arguably) has a slightly lower rate of fire per shot. The reload is very quick, much like reloading a handgun. This magnum has the highest piercing, but the piercing only helpt it out for going through more enemies at once since it still cannot penetrate iron shields. S&W M500 magnum --------------- This magnum can be a really good boss killer, but the heavy recoil per shot can make the M29 magnum a more favorable choice with its higher rate of fire. Spamming a target with multiple shots from the M29 magnum will likely kill it faster than the M500 magnum, but the M500 magnum delivers such an incredibly heavy blow with a single shot. It's arguable which one is better and it's really best for the player to decide. Grenade Launcher ---------------- -- Explosive Rounds Explosive rounds can be good for knocking down an entire crowd of Majini for extreme damage. One explosive round may not always kill off every Majini in a crowd, but it certainly scatter them and damages them well in the process. -- Acid Rounds Acid rounds are really best used against Majini groups in Professional. It will cause a group to waver and fall from the acid damage. You don't want to use these on Licker in Professional mode since Lickers are now powerful enough to withstand their usual weakness in acid rounds while in Professional mode. Acid rounds are also highly effective against Reaper enemies. Two shots to a Reaper will make it show it's chest weak point to where a player can easily finish it off with a high powered shot directly to the weak point. -- Flame Rounds Flame Rounds can be used to instantly ground a group of Majini much like an incdeniary grenade. This can easily set them up for Chris' stomp. They fall with their heads facing the player, so a Chris player can get a few head crush stomps after the Majini are grounded. -- Flash Rounds Flash rounds are extremely useful for Professional mode. They can instantly kill off a parasitic enemy and they can be used to simply blind a Majini before it has the chance to attack. Flash rounds can be really useful against enemies with projectile weapons to keep them from firing for a short while as your character runs up to them. These are also highly effective against Reaper enemies. Two shots to a Reaper will make it show it's chest weak point to where a player can easily finish it off with a high powered shot directly to the weak point. -- Electric Rounds Electric rounds are a good substitue for flash rounds. They can severly weaken a parasitic enemy with one shot and finish it off most of the time with 2-3 shots. These are also effective against Reapers. Shoot a Reaper once with an electir round then aim for its should weak point when it kneels over and shoot it directly in that shoulder weak point to make it reveal its chest weak point. Unlike a flash round or acide, the second shot MUST hit its shoulder weak point directly to have effect. -- Nitrogen Rounds Nitrogen rounds are highly useful against Lickers. Simply shoot one toward a Licker crowd then use a machine gun to shatter their frozen bodies. This grenade type is also very useful against heavily armored Majini and especially Majini with iron shields. The shot will freeze any Majini type and allow the player to shatter the frozen Majini with a melee attack command or a gunshot regardless of what type of armor or object that it holds. Rocket Launcher --------------- Do I even need to go into detail here? Most of the time a player can aim at an enemy and shoot and the target will instantly die. Most bosses will fall to the weapon within one hit. Sometimes a bosses weak point must be exposed and sometimes a rocket launcher cannot be used against a boss. There are a few bosses that require multiple rockets as well. =============================================================================== PROFESSION MODE WALKTHROUGH [PM00] =============================================================================== Each chapter has a list of weapons and items that a player may want to bring along to make the chapter a bit easier. It's good to always bring along the melee vest and bulletproof vest, but I'll always give a mention of when to bring them if they really help out a bunch for the chapter. Usually the bulletproof vest will help out the most, mainly for Majini with crossbows and Majini with machine guns. All definite healing items that can be found in the environment are listed throughout the guide. Besides weapons hidden in metal cases, healing items are the only definite item pickups in Professional mode. ******************************************************************************* Pro Mode - Chapter 1-1 [PM11] ******************************************************************************* Recommended Weapons Main Character: _ Hydra shotgun _ M93R handgun _ H&K MP5 machine gun _ First Aid Sprays AI Partner: _ H&K PSG-1 rifle _ Jail Breaker shotgun =================== Civilian Checkpoint =================== - Simply walk through the area and reach Reynard at the Corner Pyamy Butchery in the far northwest. If you really need guidance with this part, then... I don't know... there is no hope left for you, my friend. None, I'm afraid. Poor performance indeed, dear reader. =================== Back Alley (Area 1) =================== - Leave the handguns when the metal case is in front of the characters and simply equip one of the weapons from your current inventory. Both characters must equip a weapon to trigger the cutscene in order to advance ahead. - All breakable objects in the area will either contain double the gold that they usually carry or some random item. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST [ ] Green Herb - In the room with the animal carcass lying on the table, break the wooden crate lying on the shelf in the back of the room. [ ] Green Herb - Lying on the shelf to the right before exiting the room with the animal carcass via the exit door around the corner. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =================== Back Alley (Area 2) =================== - Quickly take out the knife after the cutscene with the first Majini then slash him as he tries to rush your main character. Finish him off with a ground stomp or any other weapon. - In the alley where several Majini, perform a quick turn then run all the way toward the open door past the chicken pen. - If you choose to fight the Majini in the alley, then jump behind the railing of the chicken pen near the open door and the Majini will have to climb over the railing, which will limit their highly aggressive behavior. Hydra shots mixed with an occasional grenade toss work rather well when they group together. M93R shots as they move down the alley south work good for long range gunfire. If you look to the left while in the chicken pen then the Majini can be blasted as they appear. It might pay you to toss a flash grenade into the chicken pen before stepping inside since the chickens will attack. They won't send a player into dying status but their attacks are annoying while trying to aim. The AI partner will stand near the door. Even if a player issues the "Come on" command, she will return to the door eventually. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST [ ] Red Herb - Lying on the shelf off to the left as a character moves down the stairs of the nearby building after exiting the alley with the Majini horde. [ ] Green Herb - After exiting the tunnel by climbing the ladder, this will be on the table near the door. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============== Public Assembly =============== --------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST [ ] Green Herb - On the table off to the right before entering the building down the path. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - A player can stand near the doorway and shoot the breakable objects inside the room ahead before triggering the cutscene. --> PUBLIC ASSEMBLY TIMED PORTION .----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------. | If at any time you have problems with this Public Assembly portion, bring | | along a grenade launcher with flash rounds and that will help greatly. | | Shoot a flash round into a group of Majini to blind them and stop all of | | their potential attacks right then and there. This is a perfect technique | | for when you're surrounded. | '-----------------------------------------------------------------------------' If you choose to stay in the building: A player can equip the Hydra shotgun then stand near window and blast the Majini back over the fence as they climb it. If you choose to stay inside then block the entry ways and blast the Majini while standing near the window. The bookcases can be pushed only halfway so that players can shoot the Majini through the open spaces along the sides of the bookcases. Be sure to use handgun or file for precise aiming so that the bookcases are not destroy as fast. Once the Majini start to break through the barricades, get behind the fenced portion of the inside of the building. This way the Majini will hop over it to get to your character. Try to keep the AI behind this portion. Remember that some Majini will drop off the hill in the back (west) portion of the house from where you entered, so be sure to turn toward that side and defeat them quickly. This really works better in co-op play. If the above method doesn't work out for your characters, toss a hand grenade toward the cracked wall of the room then move through the opening when it breaks so that the characters can make a quick escape while the Majini are dying or staggering from the grenade blast. If you choose to go outside the building: Don't worry about blocking anything. Run toward the window that faces the gate outside and equip a hand grenade then toss it out the building as the first wave of Majini start to climb over it. The explosion will bust open the cracked portion of the wall which will give the characters an easy way out of the building. In single player, stand near the west portion of the of the wall outside of the building. Stand with your back to the wall and take out the Hydra shotgun then shoot any Majini that get close to the characters. This can also work well for co-op mode as well. In co-op mode, players can also take advantage of knowing where the enemies spawn as shown below: SP .-------------. I | SP Gate --> I _____| I | I | Building | | | | .------------------------. | | | SP = Enemy Spawn Point | |_______| '------------------------' Each player can stand near one of the enemy spawn points (fences) from the beginning then blast the Majini back over the fences as they climb the two fences labeled above. The only thing that can go wrong here is that a Majini climbs over the gate and attacks a player from behind, so both players will have to watch the gate every now and then while doing so. --> AFTER CHRIS CONTACTS KIRKS After the Majini break through the roof of the building they will enter the area from the roof of the building and the portion of the area behind the building to the east (the hill that the characters hopped down), so a player needs to stand in the west portion of the walled area behind the gate. Wait for the Executioner to break the gate. A player can actually stand right by the gate and not get hit with his axe swing. The axe swing will defeat any Majini that are in the way. Right when he breaks the gate, run to the north then make an immediate left and hop behind the small wooden fence to the west. Turn to the left again and climb the ladder. Players can climb the other ladder and step onto the top roof. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST [ ] Green Herb - On the counter in the west building beside the broken down bus. [ ] Green Herb - In a corner on the rooftop of the shack by the broken down bus. You'll need to climb the ladder on the south side of the middle west building then hop over to this. [ ] Green Herb - On a table on the second floor of the starting building. Climb the ladder on the west side just after moving past the broken gate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The roof will keep the characters safe from the majority of the Majini waves. They will either climb the ladder that the characters climbed to get up here or they will climb the rooftop portion and sign on the north side of the building. Stand on the west side of the building and keep a gun aimed ahead then fire at any Majini that try to move up the ladder or climb the sign. Maintain this position until the timer on the Public Assembly expires. --> THE EXECUTIONER BOSS ** ROCKET LAUNCHER METHOD: To kill him extremely quickly without any hassle, the rocket launcher can be used, but BE FOREWARNED that he is COMPLETELY invincible until after the broken gate is on the ground. Basically if you shoot him with the rocket launcher while he is still behind the gate or the second that he breaks it then he will only crouch over and your character will have just wasted the rocket! ** ANTI-ROCKET LAUNCHER METHOD: Arm the Hydra shotgun or the S&W M500 magnum and run through the town then only turn and fight him when a good majority of the area around your character can be seen. You DO NOT want Majini to surround your character. I find it best to lead him on top of the Executioner platform so he can be blasted while he moves up the ramps. The surrounding Majini must climb the platforms to reach the characters as well. Fighting him out the open isn't really that bad however since a fully-powered Hydra can take him down within just a few shots and a fully-powered S&W M500 magnum can take him down even quicker. ******************************************************************************* Pro Mode - Chapter 1-2 [PM12] ******************************************************************************* Main Character: _ Hydra shotgun _ H&K MP5 machine gun _ H&K PSG-1 rifle _ Grenade Launcher w/Flash Rounds (in case Allyson gets out of hand) _ First Aid Sprays AI Partner: _ M93R handgun _ Jail Breaker shotgun =============== Public Assembly =============== - The only items that are here are in the barrels in the north shack and the one behind the fence in the waterway. ============== Urban District ============== --> THE URBAN AREA - The female Majini in the alleyway will only attack once approached or once a laser pointer hits her. Be cautious about moving too quickly into the alleyway ahead since Majini will attack from off to the left. The Majini behind the right fence can be avoided by simply staying away from him. - It's really up to the player to grab the Old Building Key or not. The Ithaca shotgun is not really needed but there is a breakable crate in the building with it. Three Majini will attack from the south after Sheva retrieves the key. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST [ ] First Aid Spray - On top of a metal freezer on the second floor of the building with the chest containing the Antique Clock. The unlocked door to the building is found shortly after the Majini in the stand breaks down the boxes (below the stairs). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - When the battle with Allyson begins, shoot her in a leg with a handgun or machine gun then run behind her and perform an instant kill melee attack so she won't spawn a Cephalo. A player can also perform a tag team melee to her to stop her from becoming one as well. She is more aggressive at the start of the battle, so she might grab your character. Don't allow the partner to knock her off (don't press the assist button) and toss her off normally by struggling then quickly shoot her in a leg then run behind her and kill her with an instant kill melee; this

Benefits of
Being bilingual makes you smarter – really! Psychologists
found a few years ago that bilingual kids can solve more mental puzzles than
monolinguals. Because if you know two languages, you're constantly translating
and analyzing situations in your head to figure out which language you should
be using, and that makes you better at things like problem solving and
concentrating for long periods of time. Another bonus is that you won't get
Alzheimer's or dementia when you're older. If you're constantly making your
brain work by using more than one language, it'll keep it in tip-top shape.
Decisions, Decisions
Certain languages are gonna be more useful to you in the
long run, and others are gonna be easier to pick up. If you're lookin' for
something that'll help you succeed in the future, go for Chinese, Hindu-Urdu,
Spanish, or Arabic. They're gonna be the most common by the time the year 2050
rolls around (or at least, that's what researchers have predicted). But the
easiest ones for an English-speaker to pick up are Dutch, French, Norwegian,
Spanish, and Italian. To get a general professional proficiency in one of those,
it should take you about 22 to 24 weeks, depending on how intense your study
is. Then the toughest tongues to get the hang of are Arabic, Chinese, Japanese,
and Korean. Each of those will probably cost you about 88 weeks of learning, so
you'll need a li'l extra patience if you've got your heart set on one.
Ready, Set, Go!
Besides signing up for classes in a new language, there are
a few things you can do to work towards being bilingual. First, you can check
at your local library to see if they offer a free online language program, like
Rosetta Stone or Mango Complete, for their members. There are also websites,
like bbc.co.uk,
that have free lessons on different languages. And once you start getting
comfortable with your new language, you can check out and mylanguagexchange.com,
which partners you with a native speaker so that you can learn their language
and they can learn yours.

who speaks what in the world, check this out.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Hello All!
This is my first post on Typophile, diggin' the site so far! I came to this
site in search of an answer. I have been using Illustrator and Photoshop
trying to create 3D typography and it seems to not be going in the right
direction. Can anyone tell me what programs were used to create text like
That sort of thing is done with bona fide 3D rendering software, like Maya for example.
Check out the cool stuff this friend of mine -and fellow Typophile- does:
That is definitely done in a 3D program and they used a fair amount of ambient occlusion. You can create passable 3D text in Photoshop and Illustrator these days, but it will not have the slightly rounded edges you showed in your examples.
Xara 3D does a pretty credible job, and it's relatively inexpensive.
thanks hrant! his work is awesome! do you know what he used for this?
Yea IsleofGough I hear ya, I'm pretty well versed in Illustrator and Photoshop, but I really want to get into
doing more experimental 3D rendered type. Seems like all these programs are quite pricey though (and I'm still in college) I'll have check out this Xara program for sure!
About 30 seconds in Cinema 4D:
BTW, Maya, Softimage, and 3Ds max are free for educational use. Blender is free even if you are not in school. I have used them all, but prefer C4D as I do most of my work on a Mac, and it is the most stable on OSX.
I used to use Lightwave before it was called Lightwave. But that was a lightyear ago. :-)
You are showing your age. FWIW, pretty much all the 3D programs will create equivalent output for this sort of thing (Autodesk programs, Modo, Lightwave, Houdini, Xara, and so on). If you learn the techniques in one, the ability to learn another is not that hard. It is only on higher end issues where programming is needed or one is dealing with animating millions of objects that there are substantial differences in what one can do. After one learns the theory, it is mostly just figuring out where the commands or menus are to do what one wants.
...do you know what he used for this?
C4D (step effector)
IsleofGough is right, that can be done in any 3d program really.
For my example, I used C4D and render using Vray. As both IsleofGough and 5star said, it's a step effector applied to a cloner — the step effector allows me to change the size of the A, along with rotating it a little with each clone.
Nice work and good rendering. That takes some skill and experience. The designs are good and knowing the mechanics of a 3d program does not substitute for that. (Especially good is the "C") Trying to do this thing outside of a real 3d program is an exercise in frustration. The only exception is zaxwerks in after effects. The cheats in proanimator are easy and look pretty good.
Btw, for those wanting good enough without learning any 3d, http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CvtluKm6P-0 is not bad. It will not give final gathering, bump, displacements, advanced materials, advanced control of bevels, area lighting, etc, but it is good for a commonly owned program.

Styling Tip
Step 1:/b> Distribute a dollop of mousse onto damp hair and blow dry two-inch sections at a time using a large round brush. Lift slightly at the roots and then roll the section around the brush several times to create a bend.
Step 2:/b> Spritz the lower part of a one-inch section with styling spray and wrap loosely around a large curling iron. Hold for a few seconds to set the curl. Release and repeat all over, curling in the same direction.
Step 3: Run your fingers through your hair to break up the sections and create fullness.

I need ideas pool/spa indoors
I have developed arthritis and we are building a new one story home. I would love to build a separate building off to the side of the house that would be a work out area with a swim/spa (one with the current) and could have a sauna in it and a small bathroom. Now my problem. I live in Nebraska and there are not a lot of builders in our small rural area that have done something like this before. Can anyone out there give me ideas either online or of someone I could contact that could come up with a plan for this? I haven't looked into the price either and am wondering if this will be an outrageous price. Also I figure while I have a contractor (who is very good) there now is the time to do it. Help me please with any and all kinds of ideas please. We live on a farm so space is not a problem.
Your best bet would be to construct your swim/spa on a SRC (steel reinforced concrete) platform, utilizing SRC or SRCMU (steel reinforced concrete filled cinder blocks) for your walls, and utilizing tiles for your interior pool finish. Place a quality current generator like Badu or Fastlane swim jets to provide you with what your wanting to achieve.
Note, you will need a quality dehumidifier for your workout/swim room, trust me this is a must have.
This would be a walk in the park for a good contractor.
Your isolation in rural farmland would make this combination much more affordable than meeting a minimum yardage shoot and traveling charges price
from a guniting contractor.
When we build indoors I always put my buildings walls on a large footer beam, use greenrock and a good enamel paint, and pour the floor last after construction of the pool. Also, be sure you make allowances for floor drains exiting the building to handle splash out and washing the floor.
Good luck with your project, I'll try to make it a point to come in more often like I used to do frequently and attempt to answer any questions you may have.
Don't be scared of a project like this, if I lived up in a northern area I'd definitely have an indoor climate controlled pool area.
Heck, if I could afford the electricty bill I'd build one right now here in SE Texas to get out of our brutal heat & humidity for my swimming.
See ya,

It seems to me that if it can be done on a computer any computer, than it's not automatically "novel" if you can do it on a slightly different type of computer (desktop, laptop, mobile device, in car navigation system, etc.) Stop "pretending" to invent something new for Mobile devices when the same technology already exists for desktops, Etc.

He was making a conclusion based on facts. It's like when someone says Goldwater would now be considered far too left to ever have a chance at the Republican nomination (especially given that back in '96, Goldwater said he and Bob Dole were now the liberal wing of the Republican party). It's partisan in that it's about a particular party, but that doesn't make it wrong or distasteful unless of course you're in blind allegiance to that party -- and even then, you could instead be proud that your party has changed as much as it has.
And yet, we get a link to scribd.com. Why? Did someone think we'd miss all the overhead of oddball formatting, disks spinning, Facebook popups and network LEDs flashing?

TravelPod Member ReviewsGlenstone Lodge Gatlinburg
The pool was amazing with a stone waterfall, a shallow pool, deep pool, and hot tub all connected. We even saw some cute girls.
The rooms were average. They we a bit musty and dark. Not very many power outlets. The bathroom was small and had no door lock.
Overall, the stay was worth the $49 a night rate. The only negative was that the woman at the front desk was not very customer-friendly.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
There have got to be better places to stay - the room was definitely dated, refrigerator didn't stay cool enough, no wi-fi...wouldn't look to stay here again unless I was desperate for a place to stay. Only redeeming quality my family found was the large indoor pool (they loved that it was 9-ft., with neat rock decorations).

Historical Traveler Reviews Glenstone Lodge Gatlinburg
Away from home
a few months ago we spent five days at the glenstonelodge, we found it to be a very nice place to stay. we expect to return in the near furture.
Didnt get what promised
Before staying at this hotel, I read through all these comments. Being in the hotel business, i know that sometimes only the negative aspects are pointed out on these sites. Reading through all these comments, i called to book three rooms for three nights, and aware of a former complaint of not having the aircondition on upon entering the room, I asked that they made sure that the air was to be on before our arrival.
I made her promise this before i booked these rooms. THE AIRCONDITION WAS NOT ON, and it was extremely hot due to the unusual temperatures of 95 degrees and the sun blaring into the rooms. The hotel was a nice hotel with large rooms, but it lacked service. You could also tell that the owner or management group were cheap with their money. It didnt have conditioner, hairdryers, a phone beside the bed, irons, ironing boards, and the toilet paper was so bad that it felt as if you were wiping with sandpaper. The hotel has alot of potential. Also, a petty gripe, but there were no do not disturb signs on the doors. I asked for one to make sure i wouldnt be disturbed in the morning, and they claimed that they didnt have one. That the management has made a rule that all rooms are to be checked daily. Maybe a good practice; however, to ones that have hours with children that they dont want to be disturbed - isnt a great thing. Oh.. caution.... The elevator closed on my hand - when i was holding it for my parents. I had to pull my hand out. Be careful with your children. A nice place but needs some small improvements to better the hotel. Also, the price wasnt bad at $139.00 a night for the suite.
Nice at the Glenstone
We arrive at 1:00 A.M. The carpet was nasty, sticky to walk on. There was a dirty towel behind the door and used kleenex under the soap dish.
Don't think the room was cleaned at all. We went to the desk and they apologized for the inconvenience and put us in a new room. Nice room no problems, room was clean and quiet, maid service was good. Front desk was very helpful with area information. Only thing I would have changed would have been larger bath room. This is a older hotel but still in good condition. They need to turn the air up in the hotel lobbys and halls they were never cool while we were there. Room air was great no problems with it. All in all we enjoyed our stay.
Excellent Hotel
We have stayed at this hotel four years in a row, and it keeps us coming back. Clean rooms and buildings, very close to downtown, large indoor/outdoor pools.
The hotel is excellent in every way, and has reasonable rates. I would recomend it to anyone coming to the Smokies, or people that come every year.
Unfortunately, not what we expected
My husband and I recently stayed at the Glenstone Lodge through the week of July 4th 2003 and were quite disappointed with what we found as opposed to what the website had to publish. We had reserved a non-smoking room ahead of time and had to change rooms 3 times since each room had very noticeable smoke smell as well as having ash trays in each room. None of these rooms had the "non-smoking" logo on the door as all the other rooms had. I noticed that in each room, the lampshades were tilted and several light bulbs were burnt out, you had to plug in the lamps and the first room even had several dead wasps in front of the windows. We finally settled with the 3rd choice since the smell wasn't as bad. The help at the front desk insisted that each of these rooms were designated as non-smoking rooms, but we will definitely beg to differ. I will note that each room was on the front of the hotel with a private balcony overlooking the street and part of the town, since this is what we requested. On a separate website, it stated that the type of room that we paid extra for would provide an iron, ironing board, refrigerator, & hairdryer. None of these items were provided and we even had to call down to get washcloths; a hairdryer was provided upon request. The bathroom was small and had no vent and there was no extra counter space located outside the bathroom for personal use. I'm sure that with the week of July 4th it was very busy for all the housekeeping work, and will try to keep this in consideration, but unfortunately we will not choose this hotel again.
The only redeeming qualities to our visit were the excellent breakfast buffet at the Patio restaurant and the unique indoor pool. It truly was a shame with the facilities being what they were that the room accomodations were not as well kept and modernized. The hotel was located about 4-5 blocks up from the main downtown road and was a little hike going back to the hotel if you don't choose the trolley. We ended up staying our final night (since leaving sooner would had cost us and no other rooms in Gatlinburg were availblable) in Gatlinburg down at the Rodeway hotel at the opposite end of town and truly enjoyed that more at a better price - view, bathroom vent, hairdryer, microwave, towels, iron & ironing board also provided in the only room left -and it wasnt a deluxe!
Family Tradition
My husbands family has stayed at Glenstone Lodge several times over the years, and we have begun staying there as well on our trips to Gatlinburg. I love the quick walk to the shops and food. Great location, excellent pool!
Wished I would have stayed home!
My first impression of the lobby was good, until I stepped inside. It was mid June, outside temperature that day was 88, inside the hotel lobby it was about 90. We were given a room on the top level 5th floor which as we went higher and higher in the elevator I know the temp had to be in the 100's. We couldn't wait to get in the room. No releif there, the hotel policy is that no air conditioners are turned on in the room until they are occupied. So, it only took 2 days to cool it off to where we could shower and not be sweating before we dried off. I hated the thought of turning on my hair dryer. If that wasn't an indication of how are stay was going to go, we incountered many more frustrations. We had fuzzy cable TV, no window to open and enjoy the mountain air, no balcony, no mountain view-just of another hotel roof. The room was dark, the towels were like sandpaper, and the bathroom was so small that you had to move next to the toilet to shut the door to enter the shower. And the shower, oh! I was scalded by the hot water that kept blasting out of the outdated plumbing. Even when I turned the water to "cool" I kept getting blasted with scalding water. It was terrible. We tried to talk to staff but not many could speak english. I think Mr. Foley needs to dust off his wallet and spend a few bucks to update the plumbing and turn the air on in the building. But, it will not matter to me because I will never stay there again and make sure to let all my family and friends know of my bad experience.
Overall solid
Rooms were clean. Slightly dated. Breakfast was excellent. Pool ok. Staff friendly. Priced right. Overall very nice experience. 2 blocks from the main road so great location. Would rate the hotel as a 3 star hotel. Would stay there again. Sister hotel across the street(forgot the name) was very good also.
Compliments where due
Very smart entrance - impressive. Staff very friendly and extremely helpful. Rooms more than adequate, clean and comfortable. Swimming pool an experience. Would stay here again. (On the Lodge's web-wite - loved Bouba and the music)
our stay at the glenstone lodge was one that will always be remembered. the room was great, the food was fantastic, the scenery was magnificent, and the fourth of july celebration made it even more special. what a wonderful time we all had. thanks a million

There is some confusion concerning what is meant by a quantitative model. This is caused primarily by the existence of a wide variety of model users. Quantitative models may be purely empirical (based solely on data sets), semiempirical (relying on physics whenever appropriate and available but the 'gaps' being filled in with data as necessary), or physical (based on the physics of the processes). Most quantitative modeling efforts at this point in time are semiempirical, which is partly because the physics of the magnetosphere is not yet entirely understood. At the same time, however, there is a large user community that needs models which can accurately describe magnetospheric features. The preponderance of semiempirical models results from the fact that current data sets describing various magnetospheric features and processes are limited.

I can't tell you if this book was accurate, or if it presented a balanced perspective of events. I can tell you, however, that it was very interesting to listen to- excellently written and well narrated. There was a lot of critisicm, but it was non-hostile. The author seemed to be lamenting missed opportunities, rather than pointing his finger. It was concise and informative.
"Beijing dialect"
Beijing accent. My Taiwanese friends all think this dialect sounds weird. But when used to practice in conjunction with a good textbook, it's useful.

Need landscaping plant ideas for new house, PIC
We've been in our house for a year now; the inside is all done, now to the outside. I am not a gardener at all... actually have trouble keeping a house plant alive. SO.. I really need some ideas from those that know plants and what they like and preferably low maintenance. I've included a pic of the front of the house which faces east, so plenty of morning sun. We are on a farm, so deer could be a problem, however, I'm not sure they would be brave enough to come up to the house. I would like it tiered with three rows of different plants offering some color. To the left in the picture is the garage which has a double window and a single window. I want the landscaping to start at the corner by the garage and go around the side of the house. I might have a take another picture so you can see the whole front. Any ideas, thoughts would be greatly appreciate it.
"I would like it tiered with three rows of different plants..."
This seems like an attempt to impose a pat solution that you've seen somewhere else. Is there any thought about responding to what your architecture is offering? Do you want to cover up interesting architectural details? Do you want to ignore blank walls that otherwise have no interesting features? Do you wish to place plants so that the porch and walk feels or looks "barricaded" in by them?
Also, you might add a larger picture that shows more... step back and to the right (from the previous picture) and show some context.
More pictures would really help, esp. a picture from further back including the garage and also a shot from a more northeastly angle.
My initial reaction is that the house and front porch area are very attractive and you don't want landscaping to eventually spoil this appearance. Also, the wide, gentlly curving walk is very nice. I like designolin6's second design which brings out that nice gentle curve, (the first design is a bit too fussy for my taste.)
One basic of landscaping is: start with any additional hardscaping, then plant trees, then shrubs, then the little stuff - bulbs, perennials, ground cover.
One specific thought is that I would plant an ornamental tree of some sort (crape myrtle, japanese magnolia, japanese maple, dogwood) about 12 feet away from the house diagonaly off of the right front corner of the porch. This will help anchor the house to the ground. Also, all that fabulous open porch area on the side would lend itself beautifully to climbers (climbing rose, clematis, or, if you spend a lot of time out there, something fragrant like honeysuckle.)
Since you say you do not have a green thumb, perhaps at some point you might work some liriope into the plan. It is a great plant, and requires no skill. Just mow it once each spring just as the new growth begins.
Good luck.
I'm with Annie that your architecture (from what I can see in your photo) really doesn't need plants close to the house.) That low porch without a railing or planting bed right in front of it looks so inviting, and walling it off with plants seems a shame.
Take several photos from farther away, including more than just the house, but also any nearby buildings, hardscape (driveway, paths, roads, etc.) and trees or other plantings.
Thanks for everyone's input so far. Sorry I am just now getting around to posting more pics.... had to wait for the sun to set to get some pictures.
Here's the front from the end of the (rather long) sidewalk.
Standing on porch looking east ~ our plans are to one day put a parking pad to the right at the end of sidewalk.
Northeast view

Please feel free to offer any advice ---keeping in mind I'm one without a green thumb, and I've never been one to "work in the flower beds" so low maintenance is a priority (if there is such a thing!) I appreciate any ideas you might have!!
You have some pretty awesome architectural details on your home that really shouldn't be hidden. Even your footings look like the same manufactured stone you've used on the porch. And the tapered pillars leading the eye up to that wonderful steel roof? Wow.
I don't know plants well in your zone but overall I would probably keep the surrounding landscaping very clean, organic and contemporary. I can easily see nothing more than 3 or 4 pairs of columnar evergreens (echoing the shapes seen on the porch) on either side of your front walkway, in order to create that feeling of "entrance". Alternatively, really big, squarish granite boulders could be substituted for the paired trees, if they are locally available. If you prefer this non-herbaceous solution, maybe also consider banding two feet on either side of the walkway with attractive river-type rocks contained by steel edging similar to the tones in your roof.
Your property certainly looks large enough to support the creation of garden beds elsewhere. I personally would explore building an enclosed, deer-proof area to start maybe a veggie patch - a great place to hone your developing horticultural skills whilst letting the beauty of your house speak for itself.
Oh, and if you really want flowers in your life, maybe just construct some planter boxes, painted the same colour as the siding, to sit on the floor between the porch pillars (leave at least a foot gap on either side - your pups will thank you) and fill with pots of whichever annuals take your fancy at the nursery. Easy access to water, monitor and replace if necessary. You can even change the display seasonally.
Oh, and if you really want flowers in your life, maybe just construct some removable planter boxes, painted the same colour as the siding, to sit on the floor symmetrically between the porch pillars (leave at least a foot gap on either side - your pups will thank you) and fill with pots of whichever annuals take your fancy at the nursery. Easy access for you to water, monitor and replace if necessary. You could even change the display seasonally.
Looks like most people, including myself, are saying don't cover up the porch. It's low to the ground, made of quality materials... nothing to cover up. I think the house could benefit from a couple of flowering trees with some low groundcover below... where the two porches coming together create a "notch," and at the left of garage. (I might even move them a little further from the house than I show them.) It seems that there could be a hydrangea or something suitable espaliered along the blank garage wall. It would be nice to create an entry experience along the walk, but not something that engulfs it or is too close to the house... maybe along the lines of a scaled down version of the crape myrtle allee as shown below.
"I would like it tiered with three rows of different plants" I never understood what you were after with this. (Or why.) You could benefit from a designer laying out a low maintenance scheme so that the bed shapes were right. I would keep it very simple.
Wonderful ideas!!! @Adriennemb ~ I LOVE the idea of flower boxes sitting on the porch! That is something I think I would & could do and might actually enjoy changing it out with the seasons.
@Yardvaark ~ The first picture with the flowering trees looks great. I never thought about doing something like that, but I REALLY like the look of it and since the theme I'm hearing from most is don't cover up the porch, I think I just might just do this. (It sure would make it easier on my DH). My original thoughts were more the traditional landscaping close to the house, but all mostly dwarf or ground cover as not to obscure the view. What type trees are those? And what would you suggest (if anything) for the north porch?
@whitecap2 ~ You can't see it clearly in the pic looking east, but our driveway comes through that cluster of trees on the left, over the hill and down, through another cluster of trees and around to the side of the house to the garage. Our plan is to have a short drive coming off the driveway towards the sidewalk with a parking pad to the left. I detest people coming through the garage into the house which is what they tend to do, follow the drive to the garage. Granted, as far out as we live, we don't have many visitors!
Thank you again for taking the time to give your input! I really appreciate it! One more question, do nurseries have landscape designers to work with or how would I go about finding one?
"...do nurseries have landscape designers to work with or how would I go about finding one?"
While you could benefit from working with the right designer, the wrong designer could as easily take you in the wrong direction. Many designers lean toward over-planting and designers that work for nurseries are often in the business of convincing you that the more plants you use, the better. You must be clear on your own overall goals and interests. If you see landscape work that you like you can inquire to find out who designed it. If you're near an urban area where there are landscape architects and designers, you could inquire to see examples of their work. You could also try calling a landscape architectural office that does commercial work and inquire if there is anyone doing residential work on the side. These days, there are also online designers, but to use them you would need to be willing to collect and supply raw data (mainly measurements and photographs.)
The picture I made is intended to get you started in a direction, not be the "end all, be all." I'm sure other planting details could be added to spice it up a little... maybe some trellises with vines or climbing roses or something. The trees I painted are modeled after Saucer Magnolia (Magnolia soulangeana) of which there are many cultivars. (I'd lean toward a smaller ultimate size.) But there are other possibilities depending on the "flavor" that strikes you and if they grow well and are available in your area: PG Hydrangea, California Buckeye, Photinia*, Snowball Viburnum (macrocephalum), Burning Bush (Euonymus alatus), Weeping Yaupon Holly (as long as they are female and you have a male nearby) as some examples. Whatever you pick, I'd grow it as a multi-trunk tree form and control the trunk structure from youth to create the desirable spread. *If Photinia fraserii grows well, it's a beautiful blooming tree if the top is unclipped. In some places it is prone to disease, in which case it shouldn't be considered.
On the left where the drive appears to be elevated, I'd use a groundcover that is tall enough to come slightly above the level of drive. Variegated Solomon's Seal would be an example. At the porch, I'd use something that was lower. A solid bed of variegated Liriope could look nice.
@Yardvaark for all your help and for listing names of plants to work with.
@whitecap ~ we live in the middle of 400+ acres. At the entrance is a gate visitors call the house and we have to 'buzz' people through. We'll tell them where to park so it hopefully it won't be an issue.
Beautiful day here in Arkansas!
Good choice on the jane magnolia, the tulip magnolias are really pretty.
I would probably plant liriope "monkey grass" about 8inches off the path to the entry along both sides just to widen it and give you a little extra room for the path and mulch 4 inches into the walkway, that way it would give room for it to grow and would save time having to edge. That wall in the front left would look really good with a trellis, for your area I would have to pick an arkansas apple and would see if I could find one already started on an espalier. It should be perfect for that spot at about 8 foot dwarf or semidwarf variety. I would frame that with a cheap ground cover and possible herb garden right along the front.

A Mormon dad's view: Why I'm not talking to my children about Miley Cyrus
Since the VMAs, there have been several articles circulating in social media addressing what parents may or may not be saying to their children about Miley Cyrus. I firmly believe parents should wisely counsel their children — and to that end, I am not wasting any time talking to my children about Miley Cyrus or anything that may have happened at the VMAs. Let me explain.
The 25-hour media, including social media, are becoming increasingly dominated by dopamine-inducing catchphrases, hashtags and stories that pass over substance in favor of the trivial. As a result, our collective attention spans have become so short that news must be expressed in less than complete sentences, and if we are not careful, these topics replace the real topics we should be discussing with our kids.
This is a latent risk to parents raising children in this environment. We can become so distracted by the here, the now and the in-our-face that we succumb to the noise and distraction, and the latest viral headlines drive our discourse with our children. We then spend our limited and precious time talking to our children about the banal, the trivial and the inconsequential — all three of which very nicely epitomize Miley Cyrus and the VMAs.
Elder Richard G. Scott of the Quorum of the Twelve of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has warned, "When things of the world crowd in, all too often the wrong things take highest priority. Then it is easy to forget the fundamental purpose of life. Satan has a powerful tool to use against good people. It is distraction." As parents in today's world, we are faced with headlines and distractions in terms of what we should teach our children. If we drill beneath the incrustation of the world's delirium, however, we find crucial topics crying out for attention.
The danger of distraction is clearly apparent when we juxtapose the recent VMAs to the tragic events in Syria. It has been reported by U.S. administration officials that there were more than 400 children killed in one attack. To put this in perspective, the attack killed the equivalent of nearly my entire high school graduating class. While Miley Cyrus continues to dominate headlines, somehow this tragic human story has disappeared. Where is the outrage, angst and vitriol? Is everyone too busy watching reruns of the VMAs? The idiocy has replaced the imperative.
As parents, have we taken the time to talk to our kids about these tragic events in Syria and their impact on our collective future? Have we refused to be distracted by the yelling, the shouting and the twerking of the world to really focus on what is most important? Or are we too riveted to the trivial because, in so many ways, it is easier?
Kids of this rising generation are intelligent and full of faith. They have a better understanding of the gospel and an unprecedented closeness to the Spirit. What they need are parents that love them enough and give them enough credit to focus their attention not on what happens on MTV but what is happening in the actual world that they are poised to inherit.
What children don't need is for us to waste precious energy and time emphasizing that they shouldn't do whatever Miley did. Show me children that looked shocked when their parents told them not to pattern their lives after Miley. Late-breaking news: There are none. They already knew it. Today's kids are smart and capable of identifying that behavior for what it is. Life is too short and moments are too few to waste time talking to kids about the obvious. There are greater battles for which children must be prepared.
Some parents may be wondering, with the mass of information, how to identify what is worth discussing with their children. I understand that this is a difficult and personal decision. Here are some suggestions.
For starters, consider talking to your kids about things that happen in real life, where real people confront real issues. Talk about the ambiguous, the obscure and the confusing. Help them recognize and accept tragedy and pay attention to the human story that is never uploaded to the Internet. Define how to create meaningful relationships offline and how to make positive contribution to the future. And after having all of these discussions with your kids, no one will really care what happened at the VMAs because it doesn't matter anymore.
