The relation between international trade and freshwater scarcity
Arjen Hoekstra, Professor in Multidisciplinary Water Management at the University of Twente and Scientific Director of the Water Footprint Network.
> Feedback
It is becoming increasingly important to put freshwater issues in a global context. Local water depletion and pollution are often closely tied to the structure of the global economy. With increasing trade between nations and continents, water is more frequently used to produce exported goods. International trade in commodities implies long-distance transfers of water in virtual form, where virtual water is understood as the volume of water that has been used to produce a commodity and that is thus virtually embedded in it. Knowledge about the virtual-water flows entering and leaving a country can cast a completely new light on the actual water scarcity of a country. For example, Jordan imports about 5 to 7 billion m3 of virtual water per year, which is in sharp contrast with the 1 billion m3 of water withdrawn annually from domestic water sources. This means that people in Jordan apparently survive owing to the import of water-intensive commodities from elsewhere, for example the USA.
This report reviews current knowledge with respect to four questions: What is the effect of international trade on domestic water resources? What is the effect of water availability on international trade? Can international trade increase global water-use efficiency? And finally, what type of international trade rules would promote a more wise use of water worldwide?
It is shown that import of water-intensive commodities reduces national water demand, which is attractive for water-scarce countries like in the Middle East and North Africa. Export of water-intensive commodities, on the contrary, raises national water demand and thus enhances national water scarcity. This happens for instance in the USA and Australia. Trade patterns thus influence patterns of water use and scarcity. Reversely, spatial differences in water scarcity do not seem to have a strong influence on trade patterns. The reason is that water is generally grossly underpriced. Water scarcity appears to affect trade patterns only in cases where absolute water shortage forces water-scarce countries to import water-intensive products, because they simply cannot be produced domestically. The report shows that currently international trade reduces global water use in agriculture by 5%, which is the result of the fact that water-intensive commodities are traded, on average, from countries with high to countries with low water productivity. Global water-use efficiency can be increased by including water scarcity as a factor into trade decisions. However, increased trade in water-intensive products possibly has a number of downsides, like for instance increased water dependencies.
Currently there is an imbalance between international trade agreements and international agreements on sustainable water use, because the former are strong and the latter weak. Most relevant is that internationally binding agreements on sustainable water use do actually not exist. There are no international agreements of the type that have the strength to restrict trade in cases where it negatively affects local water systems. It is argued that fair international trade rules should include a provision that enables consumers, through their government, to raise trade barriers against products that are kept responsible for harmful effects on water systems and indirectly on the ecosystems or communities that depend on those water systems. The report identifies several mechanisms to better ensure that trade and sustainable water use go hand in hand: product transparency, e.g. through a water label, an International Water Pricing Protocol and an International Water-Footprint Permit System.
International agreements on the liberalization of trade in agricultural products as being negotiated in WTOs ongoing Doha Development Round should include provisions that promote sustainable water use in agriculture. As yet it is unclear how such provisions could look like, since the WTO explicitly refrains from making environmental agreements. An imbalance in global regulations of trade will be created as soon as free trade agreements are effective while sustainable-product and sustainable-water-use agreements to constrain international trade are not yet existent. This is a serious risk, since no international agreements on sustainable water use or sustainable products do exist or are being prepared.

Well we had our little holiday, but it's taken me all week to get round to writing about it! Back to work all too quickly and then the tiredness sets in and the days fly by! But work is now finished for this week and it's time to relive the holiday. Apart from the much longed for trip to Legoland, it was a very unexciting, laid back type of holiday. Lots of time spent just sitting and crocheting and reading while the boys ran about and climbed and played and made friends. Ideal really! But I also had time to play with Connie. As you can see above the bunting looks very effective.
And once the light was fading, my little tea light holders added a lovely glow to the tent. Sadly we lost one to breakage on the way here - I shall improve my packing next time!
Trailer tents are wonderful with there rugged steel pole construction. Very useful for hanging things from. See my lovely french market basket? Perfect for wash bag and towel for the shower trips. And yes, that is my stetson - much better than an umberella in the rain!
Our bed was fabulously cosy with the addition of the airbed and my charity shop bedding. We did actually get one night that was too warm for blankets so to be able to throw off the sleeping bag but still have a cool cotton cover was bliss.
Hm, all those rugs are a bit of a hotch potch aren't they? But at least very comfortable underfoot! That tartan blanket was another charity shop find - £2. We had some additional 'junkshop' finds to add to our tent but not so pretty as to show you! An aquaroll container for fresh water (we have a little pump tap on the kitchen unit, so running water - what luxury!) and another container for waste. £3 from a carbooty thanks to my Dad. All hidden nicely away under the kitchen unit.
After a day at legoland we spent a pleasant sunny day on the Thames and wandering round Windsor. I must say we were very pleased to get away and head north again. The campsite was lovely, but it was next to the M4 and I hadn't realised just how noisy it would be! Next stop was Sibbertoft, not far from home. My friend and her family came to join us so we had a trailer tent commune. She joined us straight from work and had been given some plants that she had ordered from a colleague. Well what else could we do but decorate the tent with them?
It looked very effective and the campsite owner was impressed! But we did very little here other than laze in the sun, drink wine and watch the sun go down, then throw a couple of logs on the barbeque and sit around the fire. Saturday we were treated to a rather spectacular thunderstorm - very daunting from a tent! But it felt surprisingly secure. So now it's over and I am suposed to be refreshed and relaxed *sigh* Must start planning my next trip!

Oversold, on the uptrend
A major retailer rebounding from a 16% decline earlier this week; I'm buying on the dip.
RTW has been week and the brand itself is cooling rapidly - second worst after Coach currently.
Last quarter, operating margins improved 2.7% to 11.1%. This helped earnings per share climb 38% in the quarter to $1.37, In the just finished fiscal year, earnings climbed to $8 per share from 7.13 the prior year. Those were records for the company. The growth is coming thanks to its direct-to-consumer efforts, rather than its wholesale business. Retail sales increased 6% to $3.6 billion for the fiscal year, while wholesale sales dipped 3% to $3.1 billion.
RL... Please been doing retail right for too long
Out of all the higher-end apparel brands, Ralph Lauren (RL) is the most poised for growth entering 2012. RL has laid out plans for massive expansion, while at the same time increasing control over their brand image and distribution. Although future growth is apparent, the market might have over zealously factored in the potential. Check out the rest of this article at: http://betterthanbeta.tumblr.com/
Massive insider selling coupled along with a failing retail sector makes RL a sell. Next stop $90-$95 and then $85-90.
The company has a very positive balance sheet (cash to debt of over 1.5, increasing gross and net margins, share buybacks, gross margins over 50 %, net margins over 10%), but I am very concerned with its Foolish Flow ratio, which is 2.25. Is RL having problems with inventory control? Any details? What's going on with management?
Strong buy from Ford Equity research. Buy from S&P, Credit S. The street. Technecals are looking good. Pulled back to support areas.
The Man Ralph Himself is selling his stock. You want to buy?
Because i like the clothing and because its very fashionable!
Even though the economy is bad I am going to buy Ralph Lauren and I am sure others will too.
I was all set to underperform this high end clothing retailer, but the closer I looked the better RL did. They have enough cash to cover their debt. They have opened new stores and plan to continue. So far sales are only slightly down in the USA and up everywhere else. They are moving into China and I expect they will be succesful there, as there model works. The price is a little high here, but it should outperform the S&P. Magicdiligence has an excellent pitch on this one. One additional risk is Mr Lauren's age (67) and the possibility of poor health. Here's wishing him many more good years. Outperform
Out of fashion not steady growth at most
Great earnings last quarter and they have international exposure, which gave them excellent results in Asia.
good brands
Nobody will pant to look like a polo snob in the coming depression.
Should've done this months ago, but time to downgrade a slew of consumer discretionary/retail companies. We are going to see a change in the standard of living in this country over the next decade, and these companies are flat out not going to see the performance of the past.

Mar 26, 2010
As I'm posting this article most of you (students who are aspirants of medical seats) are getting ready to appear in different entrance tests for the current academic year.
Never be shy to write medical entrance again if you have failed your first attempt. Repeaters are the most common entries, among each years success list. Hence it is worth giving another try if your desire to become a doctor is very strong. Let's first understand the reason why one should become a doctor.
The reason for which I raised this doubt is that there had been some reduced interest among students seeking medical admission, as we have seen in recent years. I once heard someone answering to, why he wanted to become a doctor and funnily enough … he cited ten reasons for that …
1) I have enjoyed my life in my childhood.
2) I hated to sleep
3) I could not live without tension
4) I wanted to have disturbed family life
5) I believed in Geeta " Karma karo , Phal ka kamana na karo"
6) I did not want to spend my time with my family members.
7) I wanted to take revenge to myself
8 ) I desperately needed a break up from dearest friends
9) I wanted social boycott and amp.
10) I loved to work on holidays
These are only some the inputs, but don't get intimidated, remember this is the most noble profession of all time. No other profession can give you the satisfaction of repairing the one your kind in distress. The place of knowledge ('vidya') had always been next to the king. In the reign of Alexander the great, for anyone, death was a waiting possibility except the doctor, who had a fearless access to anything and any time. A magical structure, called human body, gets back the smiling face from severe pain out of your healing touch - what better purpose does this life can serve for! This is the only profession where you will be known for generations, because of your selfless deeds even after you have ceased working. This is where the cruelest will bend forward and will ask for your little loving and caring attention. Remember, it is not a total science. It is many time something beyond this. You are sometime destined to do this special responsibility, to do "A Doctor".
I will try to explain the different steps towards successful medical entrants with special focus on the students from Tripura. I would say that there is nothing impossible. Erase this word from your dictionary and put your sincere efforts in your work, be determined and there is nothing in this world that can stop you from achieving your goals.
"Accept every challenge with a smile and put it down with your efforts", says Pavel, who has been selected in 8 Medical institutions in 2001.
"Work hard. Always remember that there are many people who have their hopes and expectations attached to you and your result is the only way of paying back all they have done for you. Lastly, never forget old friends and well wishers and think highly of yourself once you succeed", says Tarun Mittal, AIIMS Co-topper 2001.
Some of the essential things to do are ...
1) Clear your 10 + 2 with requisite marks (> 60 % marks)
2) Keep your focus on the college you plan to study.
3) Available medical seats/opportunities for Tripura Students.
3) Select the entrants exams you wish to appear.
4) Keep a watch on the dates of applications /date of exams/ counseling/admissions etc.
5) Plan your traveling schedules/itinerary well in advance.
5) Identify your strengths and weaknesses.
6) Select your books.
7) Write your daily /weekly schedules. Have a clear view up to you joining your desired medical school.
8) Plan your coaching/ teacher. None is better teacher than your self.
9) Take care of your health.
10) Study options of doing MBBS in other countries - if you are interested.
11) Visit various web sites where you can get information's.
Let me now explain each one in details.
Getting good marks and ranks is not a nonsense thought.
One cannot be expected to crack a medical entrance at the same time having shown a poor result in his board/equivalent examination.
A very good result in the board/equivalent examination is an automatic confidence building steps towards showing success in any medical entrance. However getting at least the minimum qualifying marks should always be remembered. This is 60 % and above in most entrants with 10 % relaxation to the under privileged communities/groups. There are incidences of students who cleared PMT but could not appear the final as he did not clear the required 60 % marks. There were few instances of clearing CHD medical entrances but failed to clear his CBSE exam. I am sure; there will be countless such instances. So be careful.
While preparing for the board examination emphasize on clearing the concept and practice the numerical and formulas. Good marks in Board will tell you your present standing and the idea as how much more efforts you should put in. Preparation for the board is the best time for clearing your concepts. You get more time in class XI and more number of questions are asked (> 60 %) in all entrants tests from class XI.
"Work regularly and consistently throughout the 2 years, pay more stress on concepts, be thorough with your CBSE concepts, esp. Biology, join the right coaching institute, clear your doubts as and when you face them. One must revise everyday what has been taught to him/her on that day", says K.Sahni , AIIMS Co-topper 2001.
Prakash Muthusami, son of an IIT Engineer scored more than 95% marks in both Class Xth & XIIth Board Examinations. He was declared 'Most Promising Student' thrice in his school Don Bosco, Liluah. His preparative plan for PMT examinations went like this,
"I consider PMT preparation an extension of my school studies, but began focusing on PMT studies only in class XII.
My basic plan was to cover all topics in detail, and for this, I chose good reference books. I kept a versatile schedule, allotting requisite time to each subject and for revision. Towards the end, I mainly solved MCQs from selected sources. I used to spend about 2-3 hours on school days and about 4-5 hours on holidays for PMT studies. After my class XII Board exams, I could study about 8-10 hours daily for competitive exams. I gave more weightage to Biology, as it accounts for 50% of the marks in most PMTs. Also, one needs to have detailed knowledge of all topics in this vast subject. I studied all topics as best as I could, continually revising the more difficult sections. In the last month or so, I focused on solving previous years' papers, thus familiarizing myself with the pattern of questions asked. Practice is essential for solving numerical. Fortunately, most numerical asked in the PMTs are easy and formula based. Speed and clear concepts are a must."
15 % seat of all Govt medical colleges (except J&K) ----- through CBSC PMT--- about 2500 seats.
30 seats (50 totals) of AIIMS ---- through open AIIMS entrance.
12 open seats of JIPMER ------through open entrance
30 % ( 18 seats) open for North East India students in NEGRIHMS at Shillong through open Entrance.
85% of seats of Govt Medical College Agartala-- through Tripura Joint Entrance
25 % of Tripura Medical college Agartala ( 75 seats) ---- """""""""""""""""""""'''.
15--20 Seats comes as contribution from Govt of India to under developed state-- """"""""""
200 seats of Kasturba Medical College Mannipal ( Private ) through on line test.
100 seats of SIMS---Gangtok--- 30 % reserved for NE Students ( Private)
Comed -K --- Common entrance examination of all private medical colleges of Karnataka --about 2000 seats.
AMUPMDC -- Common entrance of all private medical colleges of Maharastra about 2000 seats
There are associations of private colleges of many other states but hardly any of them are fair in conducting the tests and in admission procedure. This is my experience and my personal opinion .
There are odd 200 or more medical colleges in India .In fact they have mushroomed in recent years and so are the number of aspirants. But the number of them with required infrastructure/ faculties/facilities to make good docs is few. Hence choosing a good college is as important as your dream.
You need to be within 1% of all aspirants - that is the approximate number of seat available at present in medical competition. The list of medical college private and Govt colleges can be view with this link http://www.indiaedu.com/admissions/medical-colleges/
In order to facilitate you choosing a good medical college I am attaching the list of the top 25 colleges of India ( according to a recent survey).
Top 25 Medical Colleges in India (Medicine/MBBS)
1. AIIMS, Delhi
2. Armed Forces Medical College, Pane
3. Christian Medical College, Vellore
4. JIPMER, Pondichery
5. Kasturba Medical College, Manipal
6. Lady Hardinge Medical College, Delhi
7. Maulana Azad Medical College, Delhi
8. Grant Medical College, Mumbai
9. St. John's Medical College, Bangalore
10. Madras Medical College, Chennai
11. Stanley Medical College, Chennai
12. King George Medical University, Luck now
13. B.J. Medical College, Ahmedabad
14. Christian Medical college, Ludhiana
15. Institute of Medical Sciences, BHU, Varanasi
16. Seth G.S. Medical College, Mumbai
17. Bangalore Medical College, Bangalore
18. University College of Medical sciences, Delhi
19. Sri Ramachandra Medical College & Research Institute, Chennai
20. Lokmanya Tilak Municipal Medical College, Mumbai
21. M.S. Ramaiah Medical college, Bangalore
22. Medical College & Hospital Kolkata
23. Topiwala National Medical College, Mumbai
24. Government Medical College, Chandigarh
25. Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, AMU, Aligarh
I am sure there are many other medical colleges which provide very high standard of medical education with good faculty back up, both in private and government set up. In private sectors some colleges has persistently maintained excellent standard of medical education with fairness in selection method. This is of paramount importance as most private institution is scandal led with corrupt practices in the selection procedure. Such thing serves the least of the interest of the student of our state (Tripura) with financial constraint. Few areas where you have fair chances of selection in a fair way and have plenty of open seats are
1) Kasturba Medical College, Manipal,
2) Sikkim Manipal at Gangtok In both Colleges, Tests are on line and scorings are given immediately and fair Problem---- The fee structure is high say 3.5 lacs to 4 lacs per year and no unfair practice.
3) Private colleges of Karnataka--- Admission through Comed-K --an examination with established fairness in the admission procedures. The fee structure varies from 2.5 to 4 lacs per year depending on the college.
4) Private colleges of Maharastra-- Through AMUPMDC Exam are fair and fee structure ranges from 1.75 to 3.5 lacs per year.
Exams conducted by deem universities and private medical colleges of other states are mostly "DOOM" or useless, as they hardly provide admission through merit. Extra donation plays the major role.
So make sure that you choose enough numbers of colleges to increase your chances. There is no harm in writing all the colleges I mentioned above.
I am sure you are some what clear about the possible opportunities you are going to avail.
Keep a watch on the dates of applications /date of exams/ counseling/admissions etc.
Keeping a vigil on the dates of application ,collection of forms in time and planning the exams are as important as your studies. There is nothing more heartbreaking for missing to apply for your important entrance examination in spite of preparing very well.
There are certain problems of getting forms in time in Tripura for examination of out side state colleges. In most states an important cities there are private agencies/book stalls that sells forms of important exams at some premium but saves plenty of time and troubles for the aspirants/students. I am not aware of existence of any such outlet at Agartala/ Tripura.
I am trying to provide a comprehensive table below to provide the student all necessary information so as to apply for the forms in time and make his schedules for travels etc. You can also visit a site http://www.budaniya.com/medical.htm .You can know which form is coming next.
There are few tests where dates of exam will clash and hence plan your application accordingly. In case of Comed-K and AMUPMDC you better apply both .Even though the exam dates clashes every year there occur a last minutes change every year. In case it does not happen go for COMED-K where you have a brighter chances .
Table showing date/ address/ fee/ last date etc. The list gives you an Idea as when the forms will be available in next year as the date's remains more or less around these dates.

Plan your traveling schedules/itinerary well in advance
Remember exams will come on quick succession. Mostly with 2 to 3 days gap. Sometime you have to be on the move soon after writing an exam .So plan your travel schedule very precisely. Travel in Air if you can afford. If you book the tickets sufficiently early differences with train is not much. You try to get a day's rest at the place of the examination.
Good performance in biology is most crucial incoming out successful in any medical Entrance. A strong English knowledge will always go to your advantage. In fact there are some exams like AIIMS /Mannipal/JIPMER/COMED-K/NEIGRIHMS and others........all have a paper in English and General knowledge.
Story of Indrish Bhatia : Indrish Bhatia (Topper of CPMT-2000, BHU-2nd Rank, AIIMS - 21 & CBSE - 41) used to think that toppers had extraordinary talent and were different from him. He is a strong believer that there are no short-cuts to success and the only path is of hard work.
Indrish was inspired by the respect his father, who is a physician, got from the society. He didn't do any proper planning for the exams but was following certain strategies which have been listed below in his own words.
"I started preparing right after class Xth. No special planning but regular sustained study. I allotted maximum time for Biology, as in most of the entrance exams Biology carries about 50% marks. I gave maximum time to Biology but Physics played a deciding role in most of the Exams.
I did a complete study of all the topics, which is very necessary. In last revision, I made notes of the topics in which I was not confident and on the last days I revised those notes.
Solving numerical (specially in Mechanics) makes the concept clear, i.e., solving numerical is a key to success in physics. There are no short-cuts to success. The only path is of hard work."
There are plenty of books in each subject. Procuring all of them and reading each book is simply confusing and hardly required. You should read NCERT and one additional standard text on the subject. Keep adding additional points to your NCERT text at the respective topics as you go on preparing. There by making the book enriched with information's. You can simply revise the subject as when required through your NCERT. You can refer some other book for any particular MCQ Answer/explanation. That will happen in say 10-15 % of questions. In this regard the comments and statements by the successful national talents will provide some help.
One key to success is study methodology. Read the topic from a good text book. Understand the subject matter. Ask your teacher/mentor any question you may have. Prepare notes and then read my notes in full from my study material.
You need to buy one standard text from each subject.
Write your daily /weekly schedules. ( How much do I need to study? )
Discipline/dedication and single minded vision are the key. Strong desire is the driving force.
Regular self study is to be implemented right from day one. There is no short cut, no alternative. The number of hours required to be put in might vary from student to student. There is hardly any need to spend the whole day at coaching center, getting tired and only to come back home to fall deep asleep. And starting the day next days in the same manner. So make your Schedules/write it down and paste it in front of you. Go slow but steadily to win the race.
I advice all the aspirants to be regular and sincere in their studies. Be patient and confident, it is necessary to have a clear goal and work with single-minded dedication towards it. One must have a firm grasp over all topics and should be aware of the previous years' questions. Also, never lose faith in yourself.
Coaching centers did not necessarily do positive effect on the result out come of the students. Rather the number of time it has done otherwise, is much more common.
The % of failure in most coaching centers of national fame have crossed 98%, indicates the usefulness of the coaching centers. Personally I believe one should go to individual teacher for clearing the concepts and practicing the difficult MCQ problems. Rest all will depend on self study and practice. Spending money by joining big named centers is useless in my view.
Once you have done enough self study there is enormous benefit in joining the test series under some coaching center. This will be part of confidence building steps before the final examination.
There are many coaching centers present in almost all major cities, more interested to do business out of aspiring students. Failure % above 98 %.
One should look for sincere teacher/mentor, one in each subject in his locality, if the student needs extra help. Teacher with a small batch of say 10- 15 students is to be preferred. Not necessarily you need to go for the best teacher but terribly busy. Such attendance will benefit only the teacher not you. You better settle for an average teacher (if you have to) but sincere one who is able to give personal attention. If you really have to go for coaching, then go on alternate days. There by getting enough time for self study and revision.
You need to be very careful with your health. It very natural and common to be tense and suffer from depression. Maintaining a good psychological balance is very important. Parents and teacher can do maximum in this account. Otherwise all the hard work is bound to get spoiled. Coping up with a poor result in some of the tests need a strong mental character. One should regularly do exercise - physical by regularly playing some favorite games - must keep a regular slot for this. And mental - by doing meditation for say 10 minutes a day. Such spending will never be proved as wastage.
Falling sick just before the examination - think about the out come! A total wastage of all the hard work! So take rest - enough rest. Take food in time. Don't go for a Bingo Meal! Sleep regularly and enough say 6 to 7 hours. If you fall sick, see your doc and take appropriate medicine in time and get well at the earliest.
MBBS in other countries --options
It goes without saying that one the sincere best form of medical education is provided in our country. Medical degrees are available in many other countries too. Like various Universities of China, Nepal, Philippines, and Some others in erstwhile USSR - Russia/Kazakhstan etc. These medical degrees are not recognized by MCI irrespective of the tall claims by these Universities. There have been some cases registrations under MCI recognizing their degrees after having successfully cleared a Screening test by MCI. This screening test was not required in cases where India had a reciprocity agreement (clause), degrees from U.K Australia, Canada, Italy, Bangladesh, Japan, Newzeland, South Africa, Ireland, Pakistan and Nepal enjoyed this advantage. But SC has made screening test compulsory for all foreign degrees before permitting to practice in India. But this is not easy. Moreover acceptance by the People is not very good for these graduates. However those who failed to get a seat in India but still aspire to become a doctor can opt in some of these countries to pursue a medical course. Admission process is pretty easy and direct approach is enough.
I am providing some basic information on such options for the benefit of those who are looking for such opportunities
China - Cost 4-5 lac. Problem - Language. Unlikely to developed strong clinical base.
Philippines, Kazakhstan, Russia - Standard of education not very high
Nepal - Cost 12-14 lac
Nothing much left to say. Just best of luck! Hard (and smart) work will always pay off!

What is a good 2X red dot sight for AR-15 under $400?
What is a good 2X red dot sight for AR-15 under $400 (including mounts)?
I did some research on the Internet but only found very expensive staff like Aimpoint or really cheap staff - Barska and below of dubious quality and nothing in between. There is a good value Burris that is $300 with mounts but that's 3X magnification, not 2X. There is plenty of options for 1X red dot sights but I am wearing reading glasses and ideally for short range need 2X. Thanks... |

I have a Vortex strikefire and really like it. The only bad thing I can think of is the on off switch can be bumped in a rifle carry case. I just take the battery out when not using it. Choice of two mounts with it, high one for AR15. Comes with a 2X doubler that can be used with or without.

If you have a really nice rifle, one that costs big bucks, why scrimp on a scope? Put something decent on there like a Trijicon ACOG. You can take the butt off a fly at 100 yards with one of those.

NWAR: Trench Warfare
Detective Nwar gets his hands dirty for a political campaign.
4.44 / 5.00 3,078 ViewsI can only hope and pray that all you hypocrits take the time to actually watch this cartoon before you vote. Alot of work DID go into this. I even went through the trouble of buying a new microphone. So please, watch. I think you will enjoy this silly thing. Happy Star Day!
It was good.
Never seen a SS flash before. This flash makes me want to watch more SS flashes, but I just hope they are as good as yours. Good job. Gave it a 4, not a 5... sorry, but I never give people what they want, and when I saw the "give this a 5" thing, I just gace ya a 4 =)
Very Good
This was very good flash i think. I really enjoyed the humor of it. I am very impresed with it. However, i think that P-Bot could have been drawn a little bigger but other than that you deserve a 10
somewhat satisfying to watch
this flash of yours if probably the only decent thing i've seen u ever made
then you dont come on newgrounds enough.
wow that was really good.
well, me being relatively new to ng dont know a whole lot, but ever since i've been here all i've seen from the clock group or lock or glock and just yesterday the ss group is a bunch of crap, this being the ONLY great exception. you did a relly great job on it, as it had very good graphics, humor, and a small plot i guess. unfortunately, i have seen absolutely nothing like this from anything else from your group, this is very diff. from the rest. if you respond please explain, and i think you should've added jamesfarr to those hal of fame thing, just my opinion. the main question i want to know is why so many people like the type of crap that the ss + (cl,l,gl)ock group submit. thank you and have a nice day
because its funny.
Answer get +1
yea, it was good, poked fun at newgrounds, funny at times, but for me the selling point was the use of music from "Requiem for a dream" during the battle sequence, awesome stuff.

I have a 5.7l with the most free flowing version of the stock mufflers. I would like a nice mucle car tone and dont mind a little drone but nothing obnoxious. I'm really torn between these 2 kits. I'm hesitant on the 6db because I do want something that sounds aggressive and I just want to make sure I get the right tone I'm looking for. I plan on keeping my mufflers but adding LT headers in the future, thanks.
The kits you're asking about are rated on two different suitcase mufflers. All the eliminator kits are rated on the 3 pass suitcase and the resonated kits are rated on your suitcase, so there will be a biiiiggg difference between these two kits on your car. You may want to stick with a mandrel 5db kit with the 4" tip, same tips as the 7db but 1/4" smaller inlet. If you can put up with some drone then the 6db resonated kit may be too quiet for what your describing.
sorry, I meant to respond when I saw this the other day but forgot about it.
Ok thanks!

Rating: 2/5Similar to Prototype...This review is from: inFAMOUS Collection Playstation3 Game Pros: A mostly open world where you are first limited to one of three islands. Later you can access all three islands as they open up. Cons: The game lacks severely in it's platforming. In prototype you could scale large buildings fairly easily and quickly, here however you are forced into tedious latching onto windows, ledges, pipes, protrusions. This is greatly increased as you are set to get collectable 'blast shards' which would increase your ability to hold more electricity to power your moves. Worse is every time you jump or willingly let go of a ledge, you immediately grab onto the next or nearest one making going down an utter pain. Platforming is often used to railroad you through an area, like a maze-like shipyard or a small hobo village. This artificially inflates the length of the game in order to beat it rather than adding to it, and in my opinion sucks. True you can skate across power lines, cables and railroad tracks, but only a third of the buildings or so support this, making it tedious if you don't see an easy path from one building to another, and end up taking a few minutes to climb a single building to get to an objective. Other Thoughts: The annoyances in the game are enough that I've lost interest in trying to beat it, and have shelved the game. True I haven't played the second game or the DLC provided code; It's too annoying that I don't want to anymore and I wish I didn't buy it. Did you find this review helpful?
