I know it is slightly premature as there are still a hand full of great games due to be released on the current gen systems. As we are nearly there I was just thinking about the best and worst games as I was asked by someone on here what my least favourite games of the gen were. Just copied from xbox.com my game list to see and it shows how great this generation has been as I have played around 130 games!! That is far more than any other console but some huge margin. Obviously that is partly to do with my finances but I still feel this generation has been the best when it came to consistent quality. Think my personal favourites are: Dishonoured Halo 3 Alan Wake Max Payne 3 Gears of war 3 Mass Effect Bioshock Skyrim Battlefield BC2 GTA 4 that makes ten, perfect.

To be honest we would be here all day. So many highlights I'm sure I have forgotten.
I have around 210 games played on my gamercard, with a high completion rate (although not cheveo's) not including maybe 30-50 PS3 games.
I have had 360 since the get go, so around 30 games played a year.Stone me, What a life!

Registered 2 years agoThe only game that inspired me was Trials Evolution from RedLynx game studios, the Xbox 360 XBLA game.
It's only 15 Bucks, you get endless content via. Track Central user tracks, you have an editor that you can do everything you want, via. coding tools. There are high quality tracks every day from the Trials Community track creators. The tracks are from beginner to extreme, and those are very challenging to pass & Zero Fault & Platinize, and the bike physics took RedLynx very long to have it greater than most other 3D games.
I've spent 16 days just for SP, few hours in MP, and much more in the editor -

DUNLOP MAX400i - Definitive List of the different versions with PHOTOS
This is hopefully the definitive list of all the different versions of the Dunlop Max400i, a lot simpler than the Max200G thank goodness, and if anyone has any other versions, please let me know!
Mid-Production (still has alloy metal in the frame) Prototype (with unique max200G paintjob) Pro Stock (with retail "Grafil" max200G paintjob) - I forgot to put this one in the photo! Max400i - 1988/89 version Max400iL - 1988/89 "L" version (1" shorter) Max400iPRO - 1990 "Pro" version Max400i - 1990 2nd version Max400iL - 1990 2nd "L" version (1" shorter) http://i46.tinypic.com/mwejdi.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/wiu4b9.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/kedsm1.jpg Incidently I think the headsize of the Max400i is about 83 sqin, it is slightly bigger in headsize than a Max200G, and slightly smaller than a Wilson PS85. |
Photos of the very rare 1990 version of the Max400i. Actually this might have been first released in 1991, I'm not sure, but I think 1990 is more likely.
http://i47.tinypic.com/1495oph.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/17752f.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/2s8fign.jpg |
Here are a couple of old photos of the Mid-production Max400i, because the Mid-Production racket still has the metal alloy in the frame, it is very heavy:)
http://i50.tinypic.com/23qxy6g.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/2whh5k8.jpg Yes, that is 2055 grams! Which is 4 lbs and 8 1/2 ounces! |
Some close-up photos of the Max400i Mid-production racket, you can see the metal alloy still in the racket.
http://i49.tinypic.com/333e6c2.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2wc4pae.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2a683rr.jpg |
I played with the Max400i for a year. Loved them! But I tend to break them on my backhand. They would break at the shaft just above the yoke.
The midproduction thing is really neat to see. Thanks for taking the time to put this up! :)
I'm really not sure, as I didn't even know about this version until a few years ago! |
It does take a lot of time and effort to do these photos, but it is worth it if people enjoy seeing them:) |
Beautiful photos, I absolutely love the bright teal version! And to think I have a Max 400i for years and always thought there is just this one version..:shock:
Here is a close-up photo of the 2 rare Glossy Teal/Orange versions from 1990.
http://i50.tinypic.com/102m4nk.jpg |
Styling pair a rackets to show off and play ! |
I think I had a teal max 200g and probably sold it long ago. I remember seeing someone with a 400g at a tournament or something, taking a look at it, and kind of laughing inside thinking "it's not a 200g". I don't know the frame; never actually hit with it, but wasn't it supposed to be a frame for those who can't swing the 200g? Anyway the lighter stuff probably would've been the way to go for me back then.
Another close-up photo showing the 2nd versions of the Max400i together with the Max400iL from 1990.

Just like the Italians, you'll love the taste of 'la dolce vita' in these delightfully scrumptious macaroons.

These Amarettis are crowd pleasers to say the least!!! They are incredibly simple and taste amazing, i have made them for special occasions over a dozen times and they never fail to get an 'OMG these are amazing' response. When i make them i only get about 20 or so biscuits & i have to cook them for about 21 minutes+.
These are really easy and turn out perfectly every time. I use a tablespoon for each biscuit and are a perfect size. I also pat dry the cherries with paper towel before using and this stops the red from running into the biscuit. Definite keeper.
It looks beautiful! Thank you for whoever made this recipe because I would love to make it for the family
Easy, quick and delicious!
Best, quick and easy biscuits to make, always turn out and everyone loves them.
Best ever, always works. Taste delicious and everyone loves them.
Got rave reviews at a party and entire batch disappeared. Recipe requested also. Measured out 2 tsps of batter exactly and biscuits were very small, barely room for a half cherry & about 2 little bites each, so if you wanted bigger biscuits, adjust size & baking time accordingly. They are not super almond-y so even people who hate marzipan might like them. If you wanted more intense almond macaroon flavour, you could add a few drops of almond essence. They are not crisp like store-bought amaretti but not as moist & chewy as Italian macaroons made with marzipan. A nice in-between!
This is a fantastic recipe. I made a 1/4 of the mixture to test it (made 15) and reduced the sugar. I didn't have the blanched almonds or cherries but it didn't matter. The macaroons were brilliant, so easy - great for kids to help with (my 3 year old did the mixing), moorish and really you could put anything on top to decorate them. Next time I'll do half the mix and decrease the sugar a little more as they are sweet enough and it could be eased off. A keeper and something quick and easy if you have people pop over for coffee.
i divided the mixture by 4 and still they tasted delicious, our dinner guests loved them
Bakery quality! Great use of egg whites when you're all pavloved out. I use the whites from extra large eggs and roll the mixture up into walnut sized balls. They are quite sweet, but it's still difficult to stop at just one. I am always asked for the recipe when I serve them to someone who hasn't tried them before.
Absolutely yummy and quite easy to make - its a bit of a pity that the red of the cherries runs into the dough and they end up looking a bit messy - but other than that - great!
Good easy recipe which work well. Expensive to make though - almond meal isn't cheap!
Such a simple recipe with a fantastic result. I love that it is naturally dairy and gluten free so doesn't require any substitutions for my family.
My tip is to leave them in a little longer so after they have cooled they become crunchy - otherwise very easy and great with an espresso!
I made this for Christmas this year. The cherries ran into the mixture and didnt look very nice once cooked but the almond ones look great. Definitely make again. Very light and tasty.
These were so easy to make and they taste so YUMMY. They are really rich though, so don't eat too many!

In a controversial breakthrough, a British team used embryonic stem cells to generate what appear to be functioning sperm cells. But the researchers do not plan to implant an embryo created with the sperm into a human carrier. It's uncertain if the sperm would function normally, and in any event, British law forbids such an experiment. But the achievement is an important proof of concept and may allow doctors to generate sperm from the cells of a male cancer patient who is rendered infertile by chemotherapy, permitting him to father children.
Even in tough economic times, science doesn't stop. The past year was another in which we got a lot smarter and maybe a little healthier. Here are some highlights

"I loved this design from the beginning. It was perfect for our wedding theme; it has a nautical nod, which is what I was looking for. I was so excited for it to come and was even more impressed with it's timely arrival. These invitations, rsvp cards and enclosure cards exceeded my expectations and I am so happy with the final result. Worth every penny!"
"I got this card based on other reviews I read and I was so happy I chose them without ordering a sample. They are everything I wanted and more. The printing is worth every penny. I love the shimmer in the printing. The customer service was excellent and helped me several times. Be prepared to pay a little extra for postage. The paper quality was thick but not like a board. Very Elegant."
"These were absolutely beautiful and we're complimented by many. The paper was a nice weight, and thermography gave them a classy touch. My only complaint was, they wre about a quarter if an inch too tall, so I had to pay for oversized shipping. I still think the result was worth the extra few cents shipping."
"WOW is all I continue to say. I am so unbelievably happy with the final product of my invitations. I had ordered several samples and this one stuck out immediately! I loved the design and the gold color on the creme stock card. Although there was other color options when ordering, I kept the gold as I thought it was very classy and appropriate for our venue. I had a couple of designer requests made to the invite so I was anxious to see how it would finally look in person. It came out awesome! I had requested the grooms parents names be written under his and that "black tie optional" be added to the bottom right. My fiance and I are so very happy with the way they came out and I cannot wait to send them out to all my guests. We also had the return addresses printed on all the envelopes as well as a matching gold liner added to the envelopes."
"Loved the way this product looked online. Loved the color of the sample I received. I was disappointed with my final product though. The color of my invitations and RSVP cards was off. When I got the sample the color was a rich plum (which is exactly what I wanted), when the order came the color was washed out to a red wine color. It was too late to call, complain and re-order so the invitations went out as is. They are still beautiful but I am very disappointed that the color was faded."

INDONESIA POLLS: Parties fail to deliver plans, programs during campaign
Publication Date : 09-04-2014
Free dangdut (a genre of Indonesian popular music that is partly derived from Hindustani, Malay and Arabic music) concerts with sexy singers entertaining the masses and personal insults being flung among the elite are the two most significant highlights of the recent election campaign in Indonesia, making it the worst in the Reform Era.
Indonesians have seen three elections during this time, which started in 1998 after the end of the New Order regime. In each of these elections, there were substantial issues that political parties often brought up during campaigns.
In 1999, the main issue before the public was past human rights violations. The next election in 2004 brought forth the issue of democratic reconciliation to allow the state to function properly for the prosperity of its people and in 2009 the main concern was good governance and corruption eradication.
Democracy in Indonesia, however, seems to have taken a major reversion to the past in the fourth election to be held in the fully democratic era. During the campaign not a single party produced any future policies on such issues as taxation, energy development, food sufficiency, human rights or corruption eradication.
"Campaign events are being used merely as free concerts without any substantial issues being discussed. The situation is made worse by the fact that few political party members have received any proper political education from their respective parties, which eventually renders them incapable of educating the public on major issues," Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) political observer Siti Zuhro said in Jakarta on Monday.
Siti added that parties preferred to hold free dangdut concerts rather than delivering substantive issues because they believed those kinds of campaigns would receive a better response from the Indonesian masses, which are mostly from the lower economic and educational segments.
Separately, Charta Politika political analyst Yunarto Wijaya said the legislative election had lost much of its relevance because the political parties and the public were already geared up for the presidential election, a situation which had been triggered by Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) move to nominate Jakarta Governor Joko "Jokowi" Widodo as its presidential candidate.
"Everyone has been affected by the Jokowi effect, including the political parties," Yunarto told The Jakarta Post.
"Therefore, it is not surprising to see a lack of program or policies in the campaigns because everyone is already focusing on the presidential election," he added.
Despite the apparent poor quality of campaigns in the current election, both Siti and Yunarto said that there were some positive notes that could be taken from the civic exercise.
"We are now seeing a trend of volunteerism. This is a new trend in which individuals are volunteering to support legislative and presidential candidates whom they believe have a good track record and commitment to the country," Siti said.
Meanwhile, Yunarto said that the public had also shown signs of becoming more politically aware and smarter in dealing with political parties during campaigns.
"The public are no longer easily fooled by political promises. They have managed to achieve a degree of scepticism about politicians and their promises while at the same time keeping their minds open," Yunarto said.
"They may still enjoy the concerts and entertainment but they no longer base their decisions only on those factors any more," he added.

Description: Capita D.B.X. Snowboard
Dan Brisse is one of the most versatile snowboarders on the planet. With back to back X-Games Gold
Medals and multiple appearances in Snowboarder Magazine's Best Riders on Earth issue, Dan is
respected as one of the best in the game. In 2012, we put his name on his first signature board - a 157
backcountry machine. However, Brisse rides a few different decks to get the job done. He needs an
arsenal of boards specific for each aspect so we made them for him, and now, we're making them for
you. This year, we are proud to offer Dan's personal collection of boards. There's a reverse camber 151
for jibbing, a zero camber 154 for the terrain-park and cruising resorts, and a hybrid camber 157 for
powder jumps and backcountry days. All featuring our RFC Sustainable Bamboo Dual Core for increased
strength and power, these boards will help you get one step closer from man to machine.

We do ship to a number of European countries, however, we are unable to ship Capita's products outside of the U.S. Take a look at our international shipping page for more info and a list of companies we can ship to you: http://www.the-house.com/helpdesk/shipping-information/international-shipping/. If you specifically want a D.B.X. Snowboard, contact Capita to locate someone who sells their products in your country.
You fit within the weight range of boards ranging from 151cm to 160.
You'd best fit boards from 154cm to 157cm just like the 154cm Capita D.B.X Snowboard.
The D.B.X. is a rad board and supporting the pro Dan Brisse (his pro-model board0 is always a good idea.
Will it scratch and chip? It's not made of diamond so yes, but it's as good as any other board out there.
The Burton Descendant is a beginners park board and the Capita DBX is Dan Brisse's pro model so they aren't really in the same class. The DBX will have more technology and be more aggressive if you are an experienced rider but the Descendant will be easier to ride if you are new to riding park.
Over hang has to do with the size of your boot not your board. If you have big feet(12+) you need a wide but if you have a 10 or so you will be perfect on the DBX.

Since you started your post by being utterly disrespectful and uncaring, I suppose i'll have to follow in kind. The correct spelling FYI, is "

You fail to take into account, the impact of having Borg in the 22nd Century (caused by Picard leaving wreckage/bodies on Earth in 2063). In the original timeline, the Borg weren't even present in the 22nd Century (as far as we know). There would be no tech to study, no tech to prepare for, and no fore-knowledge of the Borg, other than "rumor and speculations".
During TNG, Season 1's "The Neutral Zone" and Season 3's "Best of Both Worlds" are very much part of the same storyline. The Enterprise is sent to investigate a planet (in the latter episode), and it's confirmed that the destruction is the "same as what was seen in The Neutral Zone". The Borg were present near Federation space as early as the end of Season 1. Half a season later, in "Q Who?", the character of Q sends the Enterprise flying 8500 lightyears, directly into the path of a Borg Cube. It's assumed later on that the Cube in Best of Both Worlds, is the same cube as in Q Who?. One could always speculate, why were the Borg already on a direct path towards the Alpha Quadrant, when Q sent the Enterprise flying? Did Q possibly have fore-knowledge of what Humanity should expect to face? Did Q try to warn Picard and the rest of humanity? We know from Q's own statements, that the "Continuum" fears what Humanity might one day become. A race possibly more powerful than the Continuum itself.

Stated and quoted in the movie as being an "Alternate Reality" caused by Nero's influence on the timeline and the destruction of the USS Kelvin. I understand you hated the movie, but atleast try and back up your claims with same actual FACTS.

This goes back to my previous paragraph. The 2009 movie takes place in an "Alternate Reality", and thus anything that happens in that timeline, has absolutely NO BEARING on the events of the "Prime Universe" that is TOS and beyond.

So this is my first auto, i got a feminized afghan kush ryder seed from single seed centre, put it to germinate 2 days ago, i saw the root coming out if the shell yesterday and put it in the soil. Today i see the very tip popping out so were all good so far, ive got under a 55 watt cfl for now, gonna change to hps for flowering, and in a 3 gallon pot, i was just wondering what pointers i can get to ensure maximum yield and density?
I just need to know what u would reccoment for high yield and density, what i have doesnt matter for now, either way ill probably change my methods according to what info i can get to get the high yield and density
Hey I am germinating akr right now also. World of seeds suggests a 20/4 light/dark cycle. Any other information on growing will be found in other forum pages. Personally, I suggest 3-5 gallon pots and I use fox farms ocean forest soil with the trio pack of ff nutes. However, there is so many different options when it comes to mediums and nutes you should really do quite a bit of research. As far as yield goes, I would suggest you use a 5 gallon pot and just follow a good schedule when feeding and watering it. Autoflowering plants are quick hitters so even the most experienced growers can only get a max yield of about 2-2.5 ounces. However, the beginner shouldn't expect much more then 1-1.5 ounces. This entirely depends on a variety of elements such as light lumen, temperature, and humidity. Lastly, look into providing your plants extra CO2 if you want to increase your yield to the max.
I germinated on monday, and i planted on wednesday. The first pick is on friday, the second was on thursday, and the third is today, its my first auto so can anyone tell me if the brownish dark bottom of the stem is normal? Sorry about the jumbled up pics!!
keep the light close. the temperature as close to 70 - 75F. constantly keep the air moving. Don't even feed it(fertilizer), if this is your first grow.
Spray the seed shell with water with a mister REALLY good and CAREFULLY remove it with tweezers if it's still on. I've done it at 3 days old. Having it on delays the seedling. Stems always look weird young. It hasn't developed.
I got the light about 5 inchs aways and a fan on at all times, also just removed the seed so were looking good! its my first auto grow, thanks for the advice!
Update on the afghan kush ryder now at 19 days from germination, starting to develop faster now, just ordered some bat guano fertilizer and just recieved my 1000 hps light so im ready for this auto to do its thing hopefully within the next 3 to 4 weeks
Another update, now about 16 days from germination, growing nicely, kind of short though. It is my first auto though so im assuming thats normal, it also already has that dank kushy smell to it when u smell it directly, feel free to leave feedback thanks. By the way last update was at 12 days from germ. Not 19 sorry bout that
Looking Good man, im also growing Afghan Kush right now, the smell is fucking crazy man you are gonna LOVE it.
Thanks im excited, recently moved from ca to wa so i havnt had kush in a while, hopefully it blows my mind. So is yours an auto? What stage are you at?
I'll post a pic of my AKR tomorrow. It's around three and a half weeks and started showing sex about a week ago.
suscribed! AKR is my next seed after my current 3 strains are done!! tho i might just pick this up, buy a huge assed CFL bulb like the 150wattt, and call it a day.....i hear this a bomb ass smoke, so i needa try it!! ahah
Thats sick! How long did it veg before pre flowering? Here is my girl now at 20 days from germination.
Dam Driver i wish i had that plants genes, lol and toon mines is also a Autoflowering and yes it will fucking blow your mind. i never smelt something that potent before. i mean i smelt really good weed before but when i put my nose close to this plant and smell it, man its knocks me back abit....like "did i just smell that"

Responsible tourism in Galápagos
Travel right in Galapagos
The Galápagos Islands National park was one of the first to be inscribed on UNESCOs World Heritage List in 1978, so it was a shock when this wonderful, remote archipelago with its unique ecosystems was put on UNESCOs "red list" of endangered sites in 2007, with concerns about booming population and tourism, overfishing and the introduction of invasive species. As a result of the Ecuadorian government plunging vast investments into building and supporting nature tourism here in the 1980s, tourism numbers went from 11,000 in 1979 to 180,000 in 2012. Most of them packed onto, what was thought at the time, to be the good, ecological answer: Floating hotels. Luckily, action was taken quickly; the number of boats reduced and the population boom of Ecuadorians coming to live here in order to cash in on the cruises has eased off, resulting in its UNESCO danger warning being removed in 2010. It is still one of the most spectacular places to visit on this earth, but just go carefully.
Responsible tourism tips
Travel better in Galapagos
A good place to start if you want to find an ecologically sound boat trip is the Smart Voyager certification, created in 2000 in partnership with Rainforest Alliance. Local conservation organisation
Conservación y Desarrollo
set it up to protect these living laboratories, as well as the people who live and work there. It is awarded to boat operators and tour operators who meet Rainforest Alliances stringent criteria that protect both people and place, making changes such as using lead free and TBT-free paint, producing fresh water with a desalinisation plant on board, using careful fuel management systems and improving their conditions for workers. The label is now also used on the land, certifying certain accommodations with their Smart Voyager Earth label.
The primary concern here is the introduction of invasive species, which come in via boat and via people. Prevention methods are well in place on the ground, sea and air, not only among businesses, but local communities too, with government awareness schemes, inspections and quarantines all the norm. It is vital, therefore to adhere to biosecurity rules and regulations, such as having your aircraft fumigated, being asked to stay within marked trails, and never touching animals. In fact, the rule is to stay at least two metres away from the animals. Amazing how many supposedly responsible holiday company photographs have images of kids almost nose to nose with a Galápagos seal or almost sitting astride a turtle.
According to the International Union for Conservation and Nature, the UNESCO danger warning may have been lifted, but there is still work to be done
Be wary of port-to-port tours as they do only that, allowing you to visit the port towns wildlife isnt really an option on these trips, as they are run by boat companies that arent permitted to go into the actual Galápagos National Park.
Take a lesson from the tortoises here, and slow down. These islands are a long way away, and this really is going to be a trip of a lifetime, so dont think you can do the Galápagos in a weekend. Go for a week at least, for maximum wildlife watching experiences and be sure to spend some of that time on land too.
When you are travelling within the national park, you are pretty much guaranteed to get an excellent guide. Because, quite simply, it is the law. First, it is the law that you must have a guide to begin with, and second, it is the law that guides must be fully trained. It is also the law that they must be locals. Ecuador is cool that way. This is a country that has good living written into its constitution, after all. The courses are led by the Directorate of the Galápagos National Park where students train in history, ecology and conservation, geology and volcanology, environmental interpretation and ethics. To name but a few. The working guides are obliged to file a report within 15 days after the end of each cruise or trip, so if you think anything is amiss, you can report it to your guide, knowing that there is a legal procedure for follow up.
Do NOT feed or touch the wildlife. End of.
When taking photos of the animals, do not use flash photography. If you are a professional photographer, you need special permission to shoot here.
It is actually possible to camp here, but only in a few areas, and of course with advanced permission. If you do, there are numerous rules to adhere to, which include no smoking or alcohol in research sites, no fishing, no eating on the beach or in tents and no music except through headphones. And not sure if it offends the animals or perhaps its a Darwin demand no walking around naked!
For details of where you are allowed to go in the Galápagos, what you can do there as well as more details on regulations and policing, study the
National Parks
It may seem obvious, but it is amazing how many people think it is fine to stick stones in their pockets as souvenirs. It isnt fine. Same goes for black coral, shells, volcanic rocks, animal parts, native wood or flora. Same goes for if you see them for sale anywhere else.
There are a number of dive operators, but be very careful to opt for a responsible one. Diving here is not for beginners, with strong currents and sometimes limited visibility.
Galápagos National Park rules:
"You can't write names and phrases of any kind on rocks, walls, trees or other. This practice of bad manners and rudeness also damages the landscape. Remember, your immortality is not more important than the unique nature of the islands".
Keep Galápagos litter-free and take everything you brought in back out with you again.
Smoking and camp fires are strictly prohibited within the Galápagos National Park, as they are a danger to the flora and fauna. As the warning notices will tell you, "Non-compliance will result in immediate suspension of your trip and/or work schedule".
Fishing is prohibited from all tour boats and you should report anyone doing so to the national park. This is something that is taken seriously and in fact, businesses dont hesitate in grassing up their mates in this part of the world because their livelihoods depend on the islands staying clean and green.
There are speedboat trips available around the archipelago which are, well, on so many levels, just wrong.
The Galápagos have always been a haven for birding experts and if you arent one already, this trip will bring out the birder within. For more information, check out the leading Ecuadorian birding organisation,
Aves y Concervación
The Galápagos are a bit greedy and needy when it comes to getting all that Ecuadorian tourist adulation and adoration. Going to Ecuador and not spending serious time on the mainland is a bit like going to Sicily but never bothering with Rome, Florence, Tuscany or the Dolomites. So, yes, go for the iguanas and islets, but dont go all that way and miss the Andes and Amazon, World Heritage cities and coast.
Dominic Hamilton, from our supplier Metropolitan Touring:
"The biggest growth in the Galápagos has been on the land, which we welcome. But after years of very strict regulation on the water, hotels are not regulated as much as we would like, without the same stringent system of licences, water treatment regulations and, in some cases, no community involvement. I would recommend that visitors who want to spend time on the land ask their operator what they are doing for the community, not only financially but in terms of education about the islands, their importance and unique status."
Cruising for a bruising
The Galápagos is one case where we can definitely say that we do NOT need a bigger boat. Or, indeed, another boat. Once thought of as the most ecologically sound way to bring tourists into the national park, it can be like rush hour at Heathrow Airport runway out there sometimes.
There has been a strong movement among eco commentators to discourage the use of big, high end cruise ships although thankfully the government intervened and the national park now restricts the size of the boats allowed to cruise the islands, with some islands such as Genovesa being limited to boats with no more than forty passengers. Though the maximum size of passengers to be carried is now a hundred passengers (a vast improvement when hundreds were allowed to roam the seas and land), that is still a lot of people landing on a highly protected beach, although they are then divided into small groups of sixteen, each accompanied by a guide.
Not only are these large boats pretty unsightly in such pristine environments (think giant motorhomes that roam the Lake District or La Provence), they also bring little or no money into the local economy. Most cannot access the landing points that other boats can, and there are actually only five licenced boats that can do that within the national park anyway. The boats are very strictly policed, with one operator having its operations stopped last year for having lobster in its freezer, outside of the lobster season. You can read more on that story in Travel Weekly. This same company was also the subject of investigative journalism programme Dispatches, which uncovered alleged unethical and illegal working conditions. The company denies the allegations , but just to say, the world is watching out for the suspicious appearance of bruises. The Galápagos cannot afford any environmental blows.
At Responsible Travel , however, we support slow, sustainable and safe as the way to go Galápagos. Aim for locally owned boats, but if they are super cheap ask all the right questions, as it often means something has been cut along the way, such as decent guide fees. Check out those certified by Rainforest Alliance, as you wont spot many of the bleach white behemoths there.
Conscious Community Tourism
There has been so much focus on the cruising industry in the Galápagos that small, locally owned businesses on land have been jumping up and down for attention, but not managing to create the waves they need to. They are harder to market, especially if they are not linked to one of the cruise boat companies, as some hotels are. Such as the eco exemplary
Finch Bay Hotel
, which has been set up by a cruise company which is clearly making efforts to go green on land, and also support the community. The Galápagos is crying out for a community run network of land based tourism providers, all marketing on one site so that they can get the attention they deserve. But, for now, you need to do a Darwin here, and just go exploring.

International Union for Conservation and Nature
Galapagos at Risk
Simon Forster Co-founder of our supplier, The Beyond Tourism Co:
"Land-based tours will take you exploring around the islands of the national park and you will meet some of the communities that live there - a rare chance to experience the other face of Galápagos beyond the cruise ships. You'll come face to face with the famously tame wildlife, meet the Ecuadorians that are proud to call themselves Galapagueños and learn about the complex issues facing this extraordinary World Heritage listed environment".

Wake Up Macon
Macon, GA Natives, The Spry Brothers, To Debut Their First Film In September
The Spry Brothers
Charles and Carlos Spry have been working their way to the top for some years now. The Northeast Highschool graduates of Macon GA are regarded as two of the leading real estate entrepreneurs in Atlanta. The Spry Brothers have have become self made millionaires and have made unprecedented strides in that market through education, development, mentorship and community awareness. Their latest venture though is in the Film Industry. They have executive produced their first film which is to debut in September.
The Spry Brothers forged an alliance with another black entertainment mogul migrating into the film industry, Run Poag of RP Entertainment, LLC. Poag, a South Carolina native, has promoted the work of Keith Sweat, T-Pain, Vivica A Fox and Bow Wow.
Poag's RP Entertainment and Spry Brothers Films negotiated a deal with Carmike Cinemas and then stumbled across, "Lynch Mob," a horror film. The movie has cannibal rednecks battling gun-toting Mafioso. Chris Tucker's brother Dexter rolls into town as part of a black biker gang who spell the end to the flesh eating mob and backwards barbarians.
Lynch Mob opens across the country on September 18th.
The star-studded premier of the film will take place in Atlanta on September 17th and will be hosted by Maria More of Radio One's Hot 107.9.
There will be a special movie premiere at the Douglass Theatre in Macon, GA on September 20th from 6pm to 10pm. Call (478) 742-2000 for more information. Also read more about the Spry Brothers online at www.sprybrothersfilms.com.

"Nice hotel in quiet friendly community"
The Baymont Inn in Metropolis, IL was a nice motel in a quiet and friendly community. All the people we encountered were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and visiting the casino and the antique shops. A good place to go for a quiet and relaxing time.Genuine Expedia guest review
"close to casino"
I found the staff friendly and the rooms comfortably the breakfast is ok compare to other hotels the casino is in walking distance and its location is walking distance to the downtown area where superman isGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not my first choice.....But worth the $$"
This hotel is nice we have stayed here before. It was not our first choice but since we have service dogs and were denied a room at Harrah's Casino in Metropolis, IL this was our best option. It is within walking distance to the casino and reasonably priced. I would recommend this hotel to my friends though it isn't the fanciest option.Genuine Expedia guest review
"need new matresses,"
If your there to gamble and not going to stay in room much then ok.Genuine Expedia guest review
Could have more of a breAkfastGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"father son"
Great price for the value. I was glad I picked this hotel over the others. Room was clean and the service was good.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not good"
Room was clean but sheets and "blankets" sucked and the room was almost humid the air felt wet and it was just not enjoyable. We just wanted to get out of there.Genuine Expedia guest review
"More than acceptable."
Great location right next to the casino and river. However, they stopped breakfast at 9 on a weekday. Hard to get the whole family moving by that time while on vacation.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Okay for the price"
Hotel was adequate for a one night stay. Room had a musty smell but appeared to be clean. Room had an old tube style television that worked intermittently. Didn't use the pool but it looked clean. Breakfast was okay. I was a little nervous about leaving my vehicle in the parking lot because of the location of the hotel. All-in-all, the hotel was good […] for one night. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Pleasantly Surprised"
The price of my stay is usually more akin to small and out of the way hotel rooms. This was neither. I had a large suite with jacuzzi and the hotel it self is located in the inner part of historic Metropolis. Very nice for evening walks. I would definitely stay again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good Stay"
Everything was good, but one of the reasons I booked this hotel was for the gym. Three machines would have been enough to get a good workout, but only the treadmill worked and the room was 90 plus degrees way to hot to workout in. Hotel service/location/quality of service were all very good.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
The computer in the Lobby did not work due to password problem. I was told that I could NOT use my WYNDHAM Rewards because I reserved my hotel room using HOTELS.COM. Why this happen I don't know.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Room stinks and car was side swiped"
The halls and room really stunk. Our car was side swiped and they didn't leave any information. Did not seem to be worth the price I paid compared to other Baymonts I have stayed this one seems the worse. The other ones I have been in were nice and clean but this is an older hotel so I suppose that's why. The other ones were newer.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good for a nights sleep on the way through area"
We stayed for 1 night while passing through. The pool was nice, rooms were clean, breakfast was enough to get your day started. Room needed bigger and more pillows but beds were fine. Affordable night stay. Don't miss the Superman statute!!Genuine Expedia guest review
Hotel wa fine. When booking I was looking for an excerise room and was very disappointed in what they call a workout roomGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not bad, lousy breakfast"
Nice place for a night or two, just a few minutes walk to the casino next door. There isn't much else in the surrounding area, it was quiet though, right on the Ohio, the front desk staff member at checkin was dull and rude but overall I'd stay again if ever in the area.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
It was nice, except the floor was not vacuumed very well. The rest of the room was clean and nice. For the price the continental breakfast was just okay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
goodGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"In quaint little town and very comfortable."
Had a very nice stay . Will recommend. Will stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"passing through"
Hotel was worth the money , but room was not the best & breakfast could use some work.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"conviently located"
Nice room close to pool and breakfast area and was on 1st floor with easy access from car.Due to a family medical emergency we had to check out early otherwise it was a nice stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Would not recommend this hotel to traveling / non smoking families. We asked for a non smoking room and the first room we were placed in was right next door to a smoking room. The rooms smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. We moved to a room further away from the smoking rooms but even then, the rooms smelled like smoke. The staff was pleasant but would […] not characterize as friendly. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
internet didn't work, and description said all rooms had balconies. None did and our window faced a brick wall:( Pool and hot tub was coldGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Even discounted this hotel was over priced"
All started when Hotels.com was wrong about having a balcanoy as a selling point. Shower had hair in it and Bed had food crumbs on it. Head board was broke. Toliet leaned causing you to be unbalanced. The internet went down on Friday and was without it for entire stay. The hot tub was warm and pool was cold. Front desk was friendly which is hard to […] be when having to deal with a poor quality hotel. Next time I am in the area I will stay at one of the many other competetors. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"quilt convention"
The hotel could be a bit cleaner; I've stayed at worse. The room was ok, but the hallways stunk of smoke - I was worried as I headed to the room. Breakfast was sub-par for this type of hotel/price. Overall ok for the paducah KY quilt convention, especially since I booked too late to get a room in Paducah.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"right next to casino"
Great location for a night at the casino, outdated hotel but the bed was comfortable and there was a decent flat screen TV, and the room was clean, no real complaints, good price.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Exactly what we needed!"
I booked a suite with a whirlpool tub just for an overnight get-away for my husband's birthday. I am very pleased with this hotel - but I am not a picky person. No, it's not the cleanest; but the bed sheets were clean, as well as the sink tops, toilet, shower and whirlpool tub. It's also not the most up-to-date as far as decor, appearance, etc. But […] I booked this room because we've stayed before and all I wanted was peace and quiet away from 4 children! I can't speak about the quality of the pool, hot tub or food - as both times my husband and I have stayed here we either didn't leave the room or went to the casino next door; slept in and missed breakfast. :) If you're one of those travelers that's going to wear a white glove and run your finger over the baseboard and then rant about the dust in a review - stay elsewhere. It was perfect for us! Being located right next to the casino is a huge plus - no worrying about driving if you've had too many cocktails! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Go out of your way to stay here, it's worth it!"
There was a slight mixup with the booking, and to apologize for the inconvenience they upgraded our room to the suite, complete with jacuzzi tub! The staff were very polite, efficient and professional. I slept better than I'd slept in weeks, and checkout was a breeze. We stay in a lot of hotels but this one really stood out in our minds as one of the […] best hotel experiences we've ever had. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Baymont stay and review"
First time stay at a Baymont establishment. Affordable, pleasant, clean, nice, quiet, cordial and helpful staff. Highly recommend this hotel to all. John NaselloGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice hotel in a small town."
This is a nice clean hotel. its has a nice pool with hot tub. the breakfast was good (it was premade french toast and waffles). Rooms had plenty of room to move around. Hotel is right next door to Harrah casino. My only issue is that there is no elevator, I have a hard time with stairs. I would stay again.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Can't beat it for the price!"
It suited it's purpose! A girlfriend of mine and I decided to go on a gambling girls weekend trip. It fit our needs perfectly. Room was clean comfortable, casino was right across the street. Breakfast was good... could have used some items other than breads more fruit and maybe some yogurt. Other than that it was great:-) will stay again on our next […] weekend getaway! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Worn down"
They put us up in a suite on the 2nd floor that was absolutly falling apart. They moved us to a different suite right underneath that one on the first floor. It wasnt as bad, but they definitely need a remodel job.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
We stayed in a King Suite with a whirlpool in the room. It was great. The room was very clean, the staff was very friendly. We will most definitely stay here again. We were super pleased.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Family vaca"
was very bothered by customer service.lady at check in was great, person on night shift needed a customer service class. was not at all happy with the size of room and asked to upgrade to a suite. was told we dont do that! in a rude response. if you really want that you will have to check out and pay another hotel rate which I thought was ridiculous. […] will most likely stay at Harahs going forward after this service Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"A Few THINGS need fixing!"
Great beds and room, but wifi broken for 4 days and whirlpool heater not working up to par. Also non smoking room had very smoky hallway right outside the room.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good 2 star motel"
It is a 2 star motel but the staff is pleasant and the rooms were very clean.Genuine Expedia guest review
Interner was out, hot tub was cold.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ok for sleeping when on a trip."
Wanted to use pool-it was empty. Water in shower took at least 5 min to heat up. Bed was nice. Breakfast was adequate.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good Price For A Very Good Room"
Check in was very easy. The clerk was friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable as were all the common areas. There is plenty of parking and there are several secured entrances so it is not a long walk to the rooms. Great rates for the quality that you receive.Genuine Expedia guest review
"weekend away"
For the price, this motel can't be beat. The breakfast was okay- I recommend the blueberry muffins. If you get a smoking room, remember to crack your window as there wasn't an exhaust fan in the bathroom. Room has a stuffy smoke smell even I don't like. Lady at the front desk was an awesome sweet help.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not the best hotel"
I have stayed at better hotels for cheaper. We wanted to have a mini vacation with our son. The pool was too cold so was the room it was in. Both days our keys wouldn't let us in and had to be redone. The second day no keys would let anyone into the hotel everyone had to walk around to the front. We also had a mouse in our hotel room. I was very shocked […] when it ran in under our door. I had to keep all the food in the microwave. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Must -see sight -home of Superman'"
Very, very neat and clean hotel, rate includes breakfast -very friendly and courteous staff-hotel under rated - should be at least 3 star!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
the hotel could shovel the snow at the exits an place some salt down.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Has a great pool"
fine. River view and fresh air.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Good luck finding this place with a GPS. Plan on calling and getting directions. Non-smoking room was okay if you could find your way through the smoking stench of the halls.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to casino"
Good value for the money. Close to the casino but you do have to take your car to get there. If there was a shuttle, we were not informed.Genuine Expedia guest review
"hard to get to but worth it"
The Hotel was hard to find. My GPS even got confused, but once I could see it, I got there with no problem. The staff was very pleasant and seemed to care about my comfort. Called me after I'd had a chance to get settled and asked if I was ok with the room. Since I was just staying the one night, I wasn't concerned about there being no restaurants, […] etc nearby. Cleanliness, comfort, safety and price are my main concerns and the Baymont in Metropolis met those concerns. I'll stay there again as I travel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

I doubt we'll book there again. We felt it wasn't a very nice room for the money we paid.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A bed along the road."
Booked ahead based on distance we wanted to travel that day. Would have changed the reservation if it hadn't been nonrefundable. Older and kind of dumpy in a rundown neighborhood next to a casino. Wasn't interested in walking barefoot on the carpet (and I'm not a clean freak) and the water was lukewarm. Breakfast was lame and there was nothing but fast […] food or the casino for places to eat the night before. Cheesy pic of superman was the highlight of the stay.

Movies: FemDom Ass Worship 3Synopsis: MeanBitch Productions director Glenn King understands the psychology of submissive males, especially those who need to grovel beneath dominant goddesses in service of big, fragrant, deeply cleaved ass globes. FemDom Ass Worship 3 plunges headlong into the fetish with four harrowing scenarios of intimidating female superiority: A beautiful bitch blackmails her boss ... a pro domme teaches a submissive client respect ... a malevolent doctor hypnotizes a patient ... a dominant, physically superior porn slut facials her weak, cuckold husband. Each scene starts with a POV segment in which the audience is invited to submit to the woman's ass. The action is spiced with fetishy lingerie, sweaty foot worship and boot licking, whips and dildos, abusive verbal degradation, penis humiliation, smothering and breath control. It's reigning ass!

January 31, 1984
Senator Dave Newell
Nebraska State Legislature
1406 State Capitol
Lincoln, Nebraska 68509
Dear Senator Newell:
You have asked two questions regarding the constitutionality of LB 814 and LB 922, both scheduled for committee hearings in the near future.
You first ask, if the state assumes operation of the technical community colleges as provided for in the bills, whether revenue bonds presently issued by governing area boards would have to be liquidated to avoid a violation of Article XIII, Section 3 of the Nebraska Constitution, providing in part that the credit of the state shall never be given or loaned in aid of any individual, association or corporation. To some extent, this issue also requires an analysis of Article XIII, Section 1 of the Nebraska Constitution.
Initially, it should be noted that Neb. Rev. Stat. §79-1438.04 (Reissue 1981) provides that revenue bonds issued by the technical community colleges are to be "payable solely out of their revenue." That section further provides that "[b]onds issued . . . shall not be an obligation of the State of Nebraska, and no tax shall ever be levied to raise funds for the payment thereof or interest thereon." This section would appear to clearly provide that the state is not secondarily liable on the bonds, that the revenue bonds involved are satisfied only by the revenue-raising capacity of the secured item, and are not an obligation of the state, nor a giving of the credit of the state to aid an individual, association, or corporation in violation of Article XIII, Section 3 of the Nebraska Constitution. In our opinion LB 814 and LB 922 will not render the state secondarily liable on revenue bonds already issued and outstanding. However, our opinion that the state does not become secondarily liable on revenue bonds already issued and outstanding is confined to our review of the provisions of LB 814 and LB 922, and Neb. Rev. Stat. §79-1438.04 (Reissue 1979). As you know, this office did not act as bond counsel to any area boards who may have issued revenue bonds. Therefore, we have not reviewed the documents surrounding those issuances and can only opine that nothing in LB 814 or LB 922 or Neb.Rev. Stat. §79-1438.04 (Reissue 1979) would render the state secondarily liable on the area board's revenue bonds issued and presently outstanding.
In our view, neither LB 814 nor LB 922 violate Article XIII, Section 3 of the Nebraska Constitution. First, neither LB 814 nor LB 922 obligate the state for the payment of outstanding revenue bonds. Thus, the credit of the State of Nebraska has not been loaned or given in aid of any individual, association, or corporation. Second, to prove a violation of Article XIII, Section 3, one must show that the credit of the state or a governmental subdivision of the state has been given for a private rather than a public use. State ex rel. Beck v.City of York, 164 Neb. 223, 82 N.W.2d 269 (1957). Assuming the revenue bonds were raised for the purposes set forth in Neb. Rev. Stat. §79-1438.04 (Reissue 1979), the credit of the area boards was given or lent in aid of a public not a private use. Under those circumstances, there can be no violation of Article XIII, Section 3.
However, if the state became secondarily liable on the revenue bonds by virtue of the provisions contained in the documents attendant the issuance of revenue bonds, to which we are not privy, our analysis does not stop with Article XIII, Section 3. One must then determine whether the provisions of Article XIII, Section 1 of the Nebraska Constitution have been violated. That section prohibits the state from contracting debts in excess of an aggregate of $100,000, with certain exceptions not relevant here. The "special fund doctrine" has evolved as an exception to this constitutional prohibition and generally applies where an indebtedness incurred in the construction of a project is payable solely from revenue arising from the operation of the project. In Nebraska, the special fund doctrine is not applicable to obligations whether primary, secondary, or contingent, payable from sales, excise or income taxes. State ex rel. Douglas v. Thone, 204 Neb. 836, 286 N.W.2d 249 (1979). Thus, if the state became secondarily liable on bonds in excess of $100,000 it is likely that this obligation would be payable from the general revenue of the state. Thus, the special fund doctrine would not aid the state in its argument that Article XIII, Section 1 has not been violated. In our view, that section would be violated if, by virtue of the documents used in issuing any of the area board's revenue bonds, the state is made secondarily liable for payment of the bonds. Confining our opinion to LB 814, LB 922 and Neb. Rev. Stat. §79-1484.04, wa see no constitutional problems with respect to Article XIII, Section 1 of the Nebraska Constitution as it relates to revenue bonds already issued and outstanding since the state is not obligated on the bonds.
You next ask whether the funding provisions of LB 922 would violate Article VIII, Section IA of the Nebraska Constitution, providing a prohibition on the state levying a property tax for state purposes, or the teachings of State ex rel. Western Nebraska Technical Community College Area v. Tallon, 192 Neb. 201, 219 N.W.2d 454 (1975) (Tallon I), and State ex re~. Western Technical Community College Area v. Tallon, 196 Neb. 603, 244 N.W.2d 183 (1976) (Tallon II).
In Tallon I the Supreme Court of Nebraska held that where the state assumes the control and the primary burden of financial support of a state-wide system of technical community colleges, the property tax levy statutorily provided for was for a state purpose within the meaning of the aforementioned constitutional provision. This. provision for partial funding of the community college system through a state property tax levy was for a state purpose, and therefore ran afoul with Article VIII, Section IA, prohibiting property tax levies for state purposes.
In Tallon II the court found that the Legislature had repealed the unconstitutional aspects of the technical community college system statutory scheme and replaced it with a provision which passed constitutional muster. Specifically, the court found that the technical community college areas had become essentially local in character -- the area boards exercised control, like a state commission acting as a conduit for federal funds and only in an advisory capacity. As the technical community college system had become local in character, the non-compulsory property tax levy was not a property tax for state purposes in violation of Article VIII, Section IA.
It can be strongly argued that LB 922 meets the constitutional standards set forth in the foregoing cases. LB 922 provides for state administration of the technical community colleges beginning on July I, 1988, replacing the area board~ now in existence. Under the authority of Tallon II, the area, boards may constitutionally levy property taxes. However, in Section 28 of the bill, Neb. Rev. Stat. §79-2651 is to be amended to prohibit the state administrative board from levying property taxes after July 1, 1988, the effective date of state administration. As the area boards appear to remain in control until July I, 1988, under the act, and at that time the state board is expressly barred from levying a property tax, there has been no violation of the foregoing constitutional provision. With an explicit prohibition against property tax levy by the state board provided in the bill, the requirement of Article VIII, Section IA is met.
However, it can also be argued that a "state" rather than "local" purpose predominates in LB 922 as evidenced by (I) the statement of legislative intent (LB 922, Section 28(2)), and (2) the Legislature's commitment to appropriate by the 1985-1986 fiscal year more than 50 percent of all technical community colleges' budgets and by the 1986-1987 fiscal year nearly 100 percent of their annual budgets. Although the powers of the area boards remain intact until July I, 1988, the state will have assumed approximately 91 percent of the financial burden of the technical community college system by the 1986-]987 fiscal year. Tallon II was a plurality decision, the precedental value, of which is not as solid as it might be in view of the fact it was a split decision by a court whose members, save one, are not currently members of the Nebraska Supreme Court. We cannot unequivocally predict that the current court would now follow the authority of Tallon II. However, we cannot conclude that LB 922 is clearly unconstitutional as violative of Article VIII, Section IA,of the Nebraska Constitution.
Very truly yours
