Call of Duty: Black Ops II
Will you be cautious before buying the next CoD?

Nope, haven't bought a CoD since CoD 4. Activision isn't going to make me a sucker. Why the hell does your profile say that you own BO2 then? @2006_ So I could review it | |
From: lostinseconds | #002 pretty sure im stupid enough to buy mw4 next year. --- GT: Lenient Puddle | |
Ill consider buying the next, next COD when its using a new engine. On a new console. And if it has dedicated servers for consoles. Its still highly unlikely Ill buy it but at least that release will HAVE to change the (boring and rubbish) gameplay (the thing theyve been avoiding doing for six years). edit: Im pretty sure itll be COD: Future Warfare. Heres hoping its release will force DICE (EA) to give the go ahead for BF2143. | |

Quote:theballer_04 posted... Quote:theballer_04 posted...Nope, haven't bought a CoD since CoD 4. Activision isn't going to make me a sucker. So you have bought a game since COD4... @Hagan No I haven't. You don't have to own a game to review it | |
The next CoD game that will be released by Sledgehammer Games and the year after that will be Infinity Ward. A lot of people hated the multiplayer proportion of MW3 and Sledgehammer Games were the ones that designed the multiplayer maps, I think, but I don't know what else they have done for MW3. But I heard that Sledgehammer Games was going to be making a third-person shooter Call of Duty game. If so, then I don't think I will buy it because I am terrible at TPS games, except for Gears of War 1 (I did so terrible in GoW3) and Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy (which is a FPS/TPS game). --- I am the Thunder Dragon! Xbox 360 Gamertag: TDPNeji | |
I know I can't be in the minority here, this game is garbage. The gameplay in MW completely blows BO2 away. | |
Over the last 5 years I learned that outside of COD4 IW really ruined the series by doing too much But this black ops series, and the deep combat record and stats that go along with these treyarch games is too rich to me Wary? Yeah, I thought MW2 Was so far removed from COD4 it turned me of. MW3 right down to the interface and main menu and stupid over powered long range shotguns was MW2 all over again to me So I'm sticking to the 2 year cycle of treyarch games | |
Not as cautious as this one, seeing as how competent developers are making it next year. --- PSN ID: Troll_Face_Flame (formerly armyflame) X360 gamertag: ArmyFlame9 Sonic Adventure 2 = the last GOOD Sonic game. | |
I was cautious about mw3 and didn't buy it, I played my friends. I won't buy mw4 unless I see some good reviews from people on forums. If I hear of any problems at all I'm not buying it and cutting the series off. Black ops 2 could get better if they apply fixes and give me the black ops 1 feel I desire. If not I'm done. Battlefield it is! --- Liam Neeson > Chuck Norris Not much for sugar coating |

Jordan Chiropractic Clinic to move to Ninth and McLean
WICHITA — When Rebecca Jordan celebrates her 20th anniversary of being a chiropractor in April, it will be in new, somewhat unexpected space.
Jordan Chiropractic Clinic has been at 555 N. McLean since it opened in 1998, and Jordan was with Dopps Chiropractic in the same building for years before that.
"I just never thought I'd move from there," she says.
"I thought I was actually going to retire from that facility, but Dopps really wants to take over my floor."
She's leaving 2,200 square feet. Jordan and the chiropractors in her practice, Susan Jensen and John Tran, are moving to 3,500 square feet at the northwest corner of Ninth and McLean in late February.
In addition to chiropractic services, Jordan says they offer acupuncture, decompression traction and nutritional counseling. The practice, which has bilingual employees who speak Vietnamese and Spanish, also is adding massage.
"Moving to another facility just kind of made sense anyway," Jordan says. "We do need more room."

Florida heat pump -- no heat
It's quite the school but it's not impossible, I replaced my aging mechanical thermostat with a programmable digital one, the actual labor took a short afternoon, but I spent most of the additional time learning about the nonsense.
On the notes of electricity, I think most thermostats are 12v so I doubt there's much fear of getting shocked but I would turn off the main fuse to the heat pump if for no other reason than you don't want it kicking off / on while you're fiddling with the thermostat. I can tell you that you will need to know the manufacturer of your thermostat (such as Honeywell), also whether it has Emheat, and how many and what color wires there are. Since you'll likely have to pull the stupid thing off the wall anyhow, I recommend becoming familiar with the unit. Now there are usually two or four screws that hold it against the wall but before you get that deep you'll want to get the cover off and see if you can get the model number of the thermostat, also write down what color wire connects to what LETTER on the connector as well. I forget exactly, but the letters are usually like Y, X, W, A, B, R... Weird and apparently totally unrelated but they all mean something, there might be a G also, and I think in some cases there is AB and Y2 or other such odd stuff, anyhow all of this information you want to secure before proceeding.... I think the wires are like green, blue, red, maybe black and yellow, not really sure because it's been some time but they're thin wires, almost like the ones inside your exterior telephone box. By this stage you might be able to download or obtain a user's manual from the manufacturer's web site as well. AdvertisementLast edited by 8307c4; 11-06-2007 at 12:14 AM. |

Hi Mverill
I am not sure the manufacturer of your thermostat. But this will apply to almost every manufacturer. There can be on some thermostats a RC and RH, these must be jumpered together on a single transformer system. Y is the first stage of heat and should be all you need as far as the heat is concerned if you dont have heat strips. The O terminal must be connected to the reversing valve, this is what makes a heat pump a heat pump. You should have a common terminal in the thermostat, this will either go to C or X which ever one you have. Find my post call Fact about thermostats, this will help you with any wiring questions you might have. Make sure you shut the power off to the system when doin any kind of work on it. At minimum you could short out the thermostat or the transformer. The other possibility we don't want to talk about. Good luck Rusty

Thanks for the inputs. I did discover the Fact about Thermostats after I made my post, so hopefully I have all the info I need at this point.

Property Details
Apartment, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, 7 Sleeps
With its trendy nightclubs, local shops, and five-star restaurants, it's no surprise why St. Lawrence Gap is Barbados' entertainment hot spot!!!! But if you're like us, loud music and packed sidewalks lose their appeal around midnight, when it's time to trade the dance floor for a cushy bed in a quiet neighborhood. That's the beauty of BK Villas--Located only half a mile from the Gap, it's close enough that you can walk or take a taxi. Yet our peaceful cul-de-sac ensures plenty of R&R. Here you'll fall asleep to the sounds of crickets and frogs outside your window—exactly what you need for a restful, reinvigorating vacation. Spend the day lounging at Maxwell Beach, which is only a five minute walk from BK Villas. Then head into town for a fun-filled evening with your friends. If you prefer, you can enjoy a fresh lobster or fish dinner from Oistins, the famous fish market, which is only a half mile in the opposite direction of the Gap. If you want to stay close to BK Villas for the night, Charlie's Bar & Grill is a block away and offers a blend of amazing Bajan dishes and traditional British cuisine. With a full bar, pool table and plenty of dining space its a fun place to start the evening. Whatever you do, you'll feel completely at home returning to BK Villas, which features warm, island-inspired furnishings. While there are many excellent restaurants in the Gap, there's nothing like preparing your own gourmet meal with fresh food in our recently remodeled kitchen. You'll find plenty of seating at the dining room table, or you can dine alfresco on the patio while enjoying the delicious ocean breeze. BK Villas is one of the best values in and around the Gap, and we include a complimentary maid service once a week during extended stays. Our attentive property manager is available if anything comes up during your stay, and there's no charge for cleaning. We also have free Wi-Fi, cable TV, HBO, local calls, and a DVD library. This is one of the Gap's hidden gems. Now that you've found it, don't let it get away! Call or email us today to reserve your dates.

Too Big To Fail – Fed Proposal Allows Banks To Seize Your Money?
The New York Fed has introduced a framework to give banks the right to suspend account withdrawals at will to defend against financial panic.
The shadow central planners have proposed new contigency plans to prevent the Great Depression style bank runs that are hitting Europe from spreading to America.
Their solution is the creation of a framework that consists of "capital controls" which allow financial institutions that find themselves in hot water to limit or outright suspend customer account withdrawals. Our beloved regulators seem not to care the slightest that these institutions put themselves in hot water in the first place by taking up certain financial positions that put their customers' money and the global financial system at risk. Instead the message is clear – Our banks are too big to fail and if they need to seize their customers deposits to prevent them from failing then we must allow it.

Surf to PBS for 'Whale Rider' |
(Posted July 20, 2005 by Leah Yoakum) There's a kind of showbiz mindset that always wants to shoot for the broadest possible common denominator, but this film, like "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," proves that sometimes the most specific story can have universal appeal. On Sunday, July 24, at 9 p.m. ET, PBS broadcasts "Whale Rider," which stars then-11-year-old New Zealander Keisha Castle-Hughes, who's part Australian and part Maori, as Pai, a chief's granddaughter who wants to assume her place as the leader of her people. |

Commission strives to offer opportunities to Wauwatosa's youth
Adults, students work together to keep youth engaged
For more than five decades, Tosans from different walks of life and age groups have come together. Their goal: to offer viable opportunities to the city's youth.
Since its inception in the 1950s, the Wauwatosa Youth Commission has been a catalyst for a number of initiatives that have benefited several generations of school-aged children residing within the community.
Over the years, activities have included community service activities, fundraisers, opportunities to take an active role in local government and game nights.
"We try to provide entertainment, but we also want to provide opportunities to lend a helping hand when it's possible," said Kay Lorenzen, who has served on the commission the past six years.
Keeping youth engaged
Although it has evolved over the years, commission chair Sam Benedict said the group has always attempted to answer a central question: How can the city's youth spend their time when they are not engaged in school or homework?
"In many ways, this hasn't changed since (the commission) got started," Benedict said. "We're always looking at ways to keep young people engaged."
From the onset, city leaders believed one of the best ways to support engagement was to give youth within the community a voice.
Today's iteration of the commission encompasses 50 members including adults, members of the Wauwatosa Police Department, recreation staff and elected officials. The group meets monthly from September to May to discuss and brainstorm.
Half of the people serving on the commission are students and include eighth graders at Longfellow and Whitman Middle schools as well as two students at each grade level at East and West High schools.
Membership more recently has been extended to students attending private and parochial institutions in the area, including Divine Savior Holy Angels, Marquette University and Pius XI high schools.
Commission projects
One of the commission's first projects remains in place to this day. Citywide, all students approaching age 18 receive information on voting. Seventeen-year-old boys also are reminded of the Selective Service and are encouraged to sign up for it as they reach age 18.
In recent years, events put on by the commission have included Concert for a Cause, an event that featured musical entertainment and other festivities with the intent of supporting Tosa Skateboarders United and a skate board park within the city.
The commission also has sponsored such activities as bell-ringing on behalf of the Salvation Army during the holiday season and cleaning up the grounds outside Kyle's Corner, a Wauwatosa-based organization aimed at helping grieving children, teens and families cope with the death of a loved one.
Other events that have become annual traditions for young Tosans have included a middle school dance and a citywide basketball tournament.
"These started because issues had arisen in the community about a lack of after-school activities," Lorenzen said. "(Students) came to us asking for suggestions, particularly after youth restrictions were put in place at Mayfair Mall."
Benedict, whose children are grown, became involved with the commission when his children were school aged. He is one of the members behind a mock school board held annually to give youth an idea of the types of decisions actual board members are faced with, year in and out.
"It's turned out to be a good exercise because it gives the students a feel for how local government works," Benedict said.
Benedict said he is proud to live in a community that has such a well-oiled mechanism in place, and he hopes the commission continues to have a strong presence in Wauwatosa in the years ahead.
"One of the fundamentally important things within a community is giving young people an opportunity to grow up and be a part of civic life," Benedict said. "When you have this, I think it makes for a stronger community."

Ron Colonna's 1/4 scale 270 Offenhauser 4-cylinder engine takes model engineering to the highest level because Ron has not only built the engine, he has also documented it in a book with plans so that others can benefit from his experience and built it too. This is the type of model engineering you will see in this section.
Building a running internal combustion engine in a small scale is one of the tougher projects you can take on in model engineering. As engines get smaller, tolerances must be tighter, and some things like the size of air and fuel molecules and electricity just don't scale. A certain amount of cleverness is required to get all these elements to work together. Some parts can be scaled exactly and some must be adapted to work at a small size. The trick is knowing which ones and how much.
If you would like to get involved in a group project to build an internal combustion engine, see our SEAL ENGINE PROJECT page. To see and hear an assortment of model engines being run, see our RUNNING ENGINES links.

Paths and cycles in colored graphs
Li, Xueliang and Zhang, Shenggui and Broersma, Hajo (2001) Paths and cycles in colored graphs. In: 1st Cologne-Twente Workshop on Graphs and Combinatorial Optimization. Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, 8 . Elsevier, pp. 128-132.
Restricted to UT campus only 152kB |
Abstract: | Let G be an (edge-)colored graph. A path (cycle) is called monochromatic if all the edges of it have the same color, and is called heterochromatic if all the edges of it have different colors. In this note, some sufficient conditions for the existence of monochromatic and heterochromatic paths and cycles are obtained. We also propose a conjecture on the existence of paths and cycles with many colors. |

Reviews for To Walk in the Wind |
Infected Beliefs chapter 8 . 3/18/2013 [Sleep well, little priest. You will need all the strength you can get." Balasar rose just as someone scratched at the tent flap.] - You need a line break, or white-space or something separating these two sections since you change perspective between them. I was quite confused and had to reread these two paragraphs a few times. I am having a hard time remembering who Jamiss. Ozzrick is the second in command, if I remember correctly. Jaleah is the angel chick. Who is Jamiss again? Wait, Never mind. I just looked back to chapter three and discovered Jamiss to be one of Balasar's soldiers, and Jaleah to be the snappy female soldier (so ignore my quip about Jaleah from the previous review). Who the bloody hell was that angel chick then (wanders off to find out)? I said Balasar was my favorite character, but I think Ozzrick might be. Fucking awesome name. I would steal it if I didn't think you would notice :P ["How could you—this is—they're raping…" Her words butted up against one another, violent and disgusted, all too eager to have their say at once] - For a veteran member of a mercenary troupe, I am rather surprised that she is not hardened to this. Raping and pillaging is fairly common after most battles, and certainly after most sacks and sieges. She rides with bad company and she knows it, and she seems a hard woman on top of that. I don't understand her lack of understanding, or at least lack of ability to ignore it. ["Touch her," Balasar cut in, "and I'll see to it personally that your genitals are sold to witch doctors on the black market to be ground up and used as exotic potion ingredients in aphrodisiacs. Understood?"] - I think this might be vying for the best threat I have read this year. I cracked up and shivered at the same time. Good writing, good dialogue, good characterization. Ok, if Balasar has never allowed the company to take slaves before, why would he all of a sudden allow it? And also, why would Ira even think to ask (aside from so that Asseo could remain in the story)? Seems a little strange and out of character/unrealistic to me. Well, there you answer Balasar's half of the riddle for me. I should learn to be more patient. Still curious why Ira would even think to ask though. [Overhead, the sky roiled with clouds black as ink, but it did not rain, and the air was impossibly still. As though the earth itself were holding a giant breath before a scream.] - Absolutely loved this ending line. It does a really good job at setting the tone and the mood (same thing? maybe...too much wine) Anyhoo...Nice Job! I thought this chapter was much better than the last. |
Infected Beliefs chapter 7 . 3/18/2013 Is Jaleah a fighter? I was under the impression that she was not. I thought she was more of a camp follower type person. Why is she at the sight of the ambush? Also, how big is Balasar's troupe? I have been trying to figure it out but can't put my finger down on a number. And how does Jaleah know that Daja is dehydrated just by looking at him? How does she even know what 'dehydrated' means? Unless she is familiar with the customs of the Gift, I can't see how she would know that an unconscious man was dehydrated just by looking at him, especially with all of that make-up. [The boy—fifteen or sixteen, judging from his build alone—gave the impression of a squealing rat...] - Ok, you have been very inconsistent with Asseo's age. First, you said he was fifteen or sixteen. Then last chapter you said that he was twenty, since he had been born on the same day as Daja. Now he is fifteen or sixteen again? I am really confused. Did you decide to make the edit. and not completely edit all of the chapters yet? Are you still in the process of editing some? I wasn't aware that Asseo was as small as you made him out to be in this chapter. Like, I knew he wasn't a big guy, but from your descriptions and dialogue here, it seems as though he is incredibly small and petite. Maybe he has always been, but I don't remember you emphasizing that so much before. ["Heathens," the boy said in his native tongue, spitting the word like a nettle caught on his tongue.] Whose native tongue? Balasar's or Asseo] Ooooooh Balasar is a cruel badass. Definitely my favorite character of the story so far. I love how cold and disinterested in everything he is. It's like he sort of wants to care about something, but decides it's more effort than it's worth. Great character. I loved how blunt and heartless his dialogue with Asseo was. Freaking awesome. [«With what?»] - Eh, what's with the dialogue tags? You haven't used this punctuation up to this point in the story and it seems a little strange to start now. This was a good chapter, as all of yours are, but it seemed less polished than your previous chapters. I don't know if you have done less editing on it or what but that was the impression I got. Still though, fantastic stuff here, no question about that. |
Adrenalin chapter 4 . 3/17/2013 I think you did a good job building up to the sex scene, and showing Asseo's infatuation for Daja through the latter's eyes. It's obvious enough that we get it immediatly, and yet it's perfectly understandable that Daja wouldn't spot it because he hasn't been raised to believe himself the object of such feelings. Concerning the sex scene itself, I think it was well described, especially the way Daja doesn't really involve himself in it but remains very detached - much to Asseo's disappointment. I also liked that Daja was so bewildered by Asseo's demand of taking him, and Asseo's hurt at Daja not having 'finished'. Asseo feels a bit young to be a priest though, especially one supposed to instruct someone older than him. I wonder how he managed to get that status so young? I liked the foreshadowing at the end of the chapter, and it made me wonder whether all Gifts have 'supernatural' abilities, or whether it's a particularity of Daja's? I have only one problem with your story for now, that the pace is too slow for me. You spent four chapters describing events that merely cover a few hours, and I'm hoping it will pick up a little after. |
Eren chapter 9 . 3/17/2013 This is quite a richly conceived world you've got here. So far, my favorite character is Asseo- I find his POV and motivations to be the most compelling and feel that he makes a much more interesting character than Daja. I'm not a fan of Balasar at all and I'm hoping there are no Daja/Balasar romances (the age difference itself makes that relationship...unsavory in my opinion) in the future. Again, I'm hoping to see more Asseo in this story- or maybe a story focusing solely on Asseo as a character. Overall, a very interesting story. |
Dr. Self Destruct chapter 6 . 3/17/2013 [Daja made himself look up to Kaffir's his eyes. ] Typo - Take out "his." ["Did you know many women strive bear children on the year of reaping?" ] Typo - I think you're missing a "to" before "bear." Scene: Since you're asking for some opinions about the part where Isoba dies, I'll go ahead and give you mine. I think it makes perfect sense for Daja to be crying, especially considering how exhausted and emotionally overwhelmed he is during this scene. And him crying doesn't seem over-the-top or eye-roll worthy, so I wouldn't worry about that. The only thing that didn't really work for me was as soon as Isoba started talking to Daja, telling him not to cry. It struck me as bordering melodrama. There's not really anything wrong with that, but melodrama tends to carry with it a certain amount of cheesiness I don't know if you want, and I almost wonder if Isoba being dead when Daja gets to him and there being no words exchanged between them might make the scene even sadder and leave more of an impact without the risk of melodrama. Deaths are always so hard to write, in my opinion, without them coming across as emotionally manipulative. One other thing I was uncertain about during this scene was the man who kills Isoba. Where was he while Daja was kneeling beside Isoba? I just assumed it was Balasar who had killed him and Balasar was either preoccupied with another fighter or was giving Daja the chance to talk to Isoba as he dies. I don't think the clarification is completely crucial, but you might want to clear it up in case someone else starts wondering about it, too. Relationships: The scene between Asseo and Daja where Asseo is talking about being born on the same day as Daja is really touching. I think that's my favorite part of the whole chapter, oddly enough. Mostly because it started off seeming silly that Daja would think about birthdays when people are attacking his entourage, but you quickly twist it and make their conversation credible and believable in this situation. It feels almost like Asseo is admitting this to Daja in the heat of the moment when he's overwhelmed by both fear and guilt. And I think it's also is a great way to not only develop his character further, but to build on the relationship between them, adding another complicated layer to an already complicated situation. The dialogue is masterfully pulled off - I really loved it. There's a lot of skill behind it, considering how you so easily go from one subject to the next through his speech. Feels very organic and natural. Writing: You writing is wonderful in this chapter, especially the action and fighting. The details you give of the blood and the driver's blood as Daja steps in it - it's very chilling. I particularly enjoy the part where one of the mercenaries are standing in front of Daja, and a sword suddenly erupts out of his stomach. I think the way you describe it and address the sense of sound makes it all the more vivid and gory. Comparing the mercenaries to demons is also another clever device. And earlier on in the chapter when you are addressing the things Daja is smelling - and at the very end - as well as his parched mouth/throat, it's all just so vivid. You have a wonderful talent for detail and closing the psychic distance in your third-person narratives to a point where I feel like I'm right there in the character's place. Ending: I think this ending opens up to a lot of possibilities. Before when I mentioned you might want to mention what happens to the person who murders Isoba, I think leaving who exactly that is a mystery for right now is definitely a good choice. Because now I'm wondering if it *was* Balasar who murdered Isoba, and what Daja is going to do once/if he learns this. I'm also curious to see how Daja is going to react to being kid-napped - just how complacent is he going to be? Is he going to try to run? Will he try to fight back? What is Balasar going to do to him now? How will Balasar treat him? You leave the reader with some great questions at the end of this, and it really gives me a strong drive to continue. I think you couldn't have stopped this chapter at a more perfect spot. |
AlternatingCurrent chapter 9 . 3/17/2013 Ahhh..The feeling of reading something that by someone who has a clear concept of how to properly string sentences together... That being said, you have much more ability than simply writing complete sentences. Your descriptions are fantastic, especially in the opening of chapter 1. In terms of characterization, I think Daja's character has some really strong points, especially in his demeanor and the way he views the priests who raised him. I'm not sure how I feel about Balasar. I think having a character who is closed off, cold, and distant, is difficult to pull off when you are writing from his perspective. It becomes harder to hide things about the character from the reader when the reader has access to the character's thoughts. Nonetheless, I think you did a pretty darn good job of it anyway! |
Adrenalin chapter 3 . 3/17/2013 I really enjoyed the worldbuilding you have going on here, and the way you use the fact that Balasar and compagny are foreigners to provide so many information about both Surrhi and the country they are from, especially regarding the place of women in each. The character of Jaleah is well-used in this aspect, as she serves to show that in Surrhi, women are ostracized, except for "holy" or "desecrated" ones, by the fact that she can't have any interaction with the locals, while her desire to do so and to be useful (and her overall attitude) shows that it isn't so where she comes from. Regarding characters, you do a good job at making them separate in the reader's mind. Oz is especially interesting since he seems to have such a close relationship with Balasar and don't hesitate to tease him, which allows us to learn more about him. I also liked his physical description - sort of made me think of Jack Sparrow and the beads in his hair. I was interested about the tidbit with Ismene, first because I liked that Balasar was also interested in women (though apparently only for their body at the present), and also because he declared he had no interest whatsoever in a romantic relationship. You also did a great job at describing their surroundings - I felt I had a good feeling of where they were and what it looked like. I would have liked to know whether the buildings in the Traveler Quarter were in good state though, it would be an interesting bit of information. The fact the Traveler Quarter exists shows that the people of Bhepal don't trust foreigners, but if they put them in ruined buildings, it would precise how much they dislike them... Just an idea though. |
Adrenalin chapter 2 . 3/17/2013 I was sort of amused by the setting in the tower, it reminded me of all those fairytales where the princess is locked away in one. With the description of Daja's hair I thought of Rapunzel. I liked your characterization of Daja's throughout this chapter. You do a good job at describing his past life and current predicament without it sounding overbearing or whiny. We can feel that he is resigned to his fate, though still regretting it. Given the environment he was raised in, his thoughts and actions make a lot of sense, and the fact that he's curious about the world shows that his personnality survived the endoctrinement of the priests. At first I thought he had too many doubts for someone whose only truth had been the one the priests told him, but the way you treated the matter at the end of the chapter reassured me that, even if Daja was questionning it a bit (by the way, the fact he has access to so many books also helped me believe that he could be of a different mindset than the priests), he was not to the point where he would try to escape it. I also liked the way you described his relationship with each instructor through the "sex education" lessons they gave him. I felt sorry for him that he had to go through this, especially with Kaffir, but it was believable in this context. You also gave a perfectly logical explanation for the homosexual relationships (past and to come) and I appreciated that, since I often find that fantasy slash stories lack that realistic aspect (sometimes the male lead has numerous homosexual encounters that are not logical in the social background provided by the story). Anyway, here it made sense that as a servant intended for a male god, Daja would be instructed in the way to please a male. If I have one drawback, it's that the two first chapters lack some action and are too focused on characters' presentation and introspection (but that's a personal preference). |
Adrenalin chapter 1 . 3/17/2013 My turn to try and give you reviews as good as yours. (They probably won't be as long though... but like you said in your A/N, hey, I'ma try). First of all, I liked the desert setting. It's not one you often meet with in fantasy stories, and I think it's a shame, since I really like the cultures that go with it. You made a good job at describing yours, too. Your worldbuilding skills are pretty impressive, and you exploit it well. I liked the way you made your plot consistent with it, making water the centerpoint of conflict here and tying it with the fantasy element of the God-controlled cycle of rains. Your dialog also reads smoothly and very natural, but I have a few problems with its overall contents. While I understand that you need to give the reader all those information, I feel Balasar plays too much the role of the vacant interlocutor. Most of the things Abdhi tells him, he already knows, which makes it look like he says it only for the reader's sake. Like the part about Vhaki's Gift, which you sort of made sound like every one in Surrhi knew about it. I understand that Balasar is not from this country? If that's indeed the case, I think you should make it more obvious, and maybe insist on why he hasn't heard about it before. I think people would talk about a legend so pivotal to their lifestyle. Another thing: it seems to me that Abdhi seriously lack shrewdness. From how you describe him at the beginning, I know he's extremely proficient at getting what he wants, but then he goes and tells Balasar outright that he's the only man in Surrhi that would dare lay a hand on Vhaki's Gift, and that's why he seeks to employ him. It doesn't leave much room for bargaining though, and it felt out of character for such a man not to take this into account. Balasar could come to that conclusion himself, considering Abdhi came to a stranger with his proposal. In my opinion, Abdhi is also providing too much information about his plans, telling Balasar it is all for the sake of reuniting the Akan's empire under Bhepal's rule... It seems strange that he shares so much with someone who, in the end, is simply a hired thug. I can't wait to see where you go with the rest of this story. I would especially enjoy it if there was actual interventions from the gods... I love 'real' gods impacting on the plot in stories. |
Chiisutofupuru chapter 6 . 3/16/2013 That was pretty exiting for a chapter from this book. Everything felt like it moved in slow-motion with all of the flowing descriptions. I just couldn't really tell when the carriage stopped moving. I thought they were all riding on horseback while fighting off the bandits for a little bit. Don't worry about Daja crying too much. He seems to fit the part... I thought he would've been taught a little combat with all of his lessons. NOOO! Isoba! I was beginning to like him! """Did you know many women strive bear children on the year of reaping?""" - quote from story This and the part for the 'reaping day' explained a bit. I don't remember there being an actual 'day of reaping' explained in the previous chapters. I couldn't find it a second time but I had a favorite description that had to do with clouds and colours 'bleeding across the sky'. Just awesome. Chiisutofupuru |
Sombrette chapter 2 . 3/15/2013 I found this chapter to be kind of sad. I think Daja's characterization is very good. This chapter was informative enough that I felt like I could understand his personality. His personality being, one who serves faithfully. That's the sad part I took from this. To be born into something with no choice in the matter, to know you don't like something, but know that you were essentially made for it. I felt really bad for him. His desire to know more than what's in front of him, such an innocent almost childlike desire, but I think people who are sheltered like that are naive (in an endearing way) that they are unaware of the harsh realities outside their sheltered lives. Though, I guess that's not very true with him when it comes to being forced to please when he obviously doesn't want to. I also thought it was sad when he was paranoid about loosing his shoes that was such a simple little mistake and he was just so afraid of the consequences. To have to walk on eggshells like the your whole life...and he's supposed to be some revered gift to a god. At least that's how I see it. Though... I guess since he's apparently going to be some sort of slave to the god he has to be taught that way. Bleh... I don't like his situation at all. I did think though that the differences in the teachers was interesting and his opinions of each. Asseo particularly. To have to answer to someone younger than you (and shorter ;p) has to suck. Asseo's comment about the wind doing strange things around Daja had me curious. I wonder if that's just a side effect from him being meant for the god or if it's implying something more, as in, is Daja more peculiar than just simply being this gift? It seemed to be hinting at something. The ending to this chapter really gave off the air of Daja's disappointment, it supposed to being his days for himself. I don't get why Asseo would ask, knowing this. Perhaps he hoped Daja would willing go to him, with desire in mind. Hmm... anyways, again the description was great, the tower top especially. Reminded me of those Greek structures with circle of columns. The only thing I have to point out is [ Only a guilty, shameful dread. And endless uncertainty where there ought to have been unconditional faith.] - This to me looks like it could have all been one sentence, with a comma for the pause the period it giving. But, other than that I really admire your writing style ;) |
Chiisutofupuru chapter 5 . 3/15/2013 They really go all-out when dolling up the gift. Surprised Daja could still stand. What I should have mentioned in the first review... your description is quite amazing. Definitely got a desert feel to begin with. So far never got any other, no hint to any other terrain. I did find the first two chapters kind of dull. Maybe it was because I was kind of distracted while reading them but I found them to be a little description-heavy. Nothing really happened either than the bandit making a deal and the 'gift' feeling things... thinking about stuff. It felt as if I was reading forever. Their views are totally different. You displayed that really well. Balasar is interesting but nothing really draws me to him. Nothing there to want me to keep reading about him either than wanting to know how he performs this job. He's just a bandit in my eyes, nothing special about him. If that's what you were going for, you did a great job. The 'gift' was portrayed well. He is just a vessel and that is all he really wants to be in his position. That is what he tries really hard to be. Nothing else. There was a lot more talking in the third chapter then there was in the first two. Introducing a few more characters I guess can do that to a chapter. No idea why they were all introduced in the first place. Like the bandit, didn't feel anything for any of the new characters. I was just reading about them for some strange reason unknown to me. Isoba is interesting as a character. He's feeling mixed thoughts about what exactly he had done to this child. Making us all feel sorry for the gift. Making us all feel sorry for him. I wonder what his reaction will be when the gift is stolen. Ismene and Balasar... I just read the last part here. She brings out the best of him, made him seem more like a main character. I got a feel for him through her. They make a great couple I think. They also made Oz sound like an annoying someone, giving him a potentially important role in the story. Balasar should find something to care about either than destroying things that are built for the gods. (I would repeat what you said to me about trying not to be a critic in a harmful way. I'm really beginning to like how this is turning out. The first few chapters are 'just' the first few chapters.) Chiisutofupuru |
Infected Beliefs chapter 6 . 3/15/2013 Ah, I did so enjoy this chapter. As a male reader, I don't mind reading the love scenes, or the tender moments, but I need me some good 'ol blood and gore to be truly happy xD. And a named character's death? Even better. I have always been partial to the idea that any person can die at any time. No character is safe. It does a good job of keeping your readers on their toes and guessing, never quite sure of who will live and who will die. Makes for good suspense. I thought the bit about Asseo and his being born was good. It explains much of his obsession (that seems a bit more intense of a word than I am looking for but I can't come up with anything better right now) with Daja but also makes his romantic interests somewhat...disturbing? I know they are not siblings but somehow, to me, it just seems, eh, borderline wrong. Same village, same day, same purpose. Some people might sigh and say, "Destiny," but I cringe and say, "Not quite incest." Meh, maybe I'm just cynical and sick in the head. ["What. He die?" No remorse, simply casual interest.] - Kaffir seems a cold bastard. I like him. I am a little confused as to this wagon they are riding in. Is it like a giant wooden box with wheels? It reminded me of an armored car but I didn't think the image fit int he world you have so carefully created for us. Maybe more will be explained in the next chapter when Daja comes out of this blur of confusion. Speaking of those blurred senses I thought you wrote that very well. Daja seemed very disoriented and his confusion leant itself to the narration, though not in a bad way. I liked his description of the mercenaries. So alien to him. Maybe I missed it but where did all of these guards for the caravan come from? I guess it could be explained that they came after Daja was inside the carriage, so he never would have seen them, but I was slightly confused. I thought it was just him and the priests? It makes sense that there would be guards, I just missed their introduction. Good fight sequence, not too much, not too little. Really enjoyed this chapter. I am interested to see the interactions between Balasar and Daja and what judgments and prejudices the make against each other. |
Nesasio chapter 4 . 3/15/2013 ...to tug a the single looped gold earring... -at ...finalized its decent with a silent billow to the floor... -descent Never show shame… -If this is a lesson the priests taught him, I'd rephrase to more the effect of 'there is nothing to be ashamed of'. Keeping in mind he was raised by these priests, he wouldn't know to feel ashamed unless someone said it's shameful. That feels counter-productive to their purpose. I suppose he could have gained the concept of sex as shameful act from one of the books he's read, but if he was worried, I still think he would've been taught more like I rephrased. Addition: "...and Daja felt a blush of shame rise up his neck." I can't tell if this is the same shame as the above. I guess I assumed it was in the act itself, but here it's that Asseo thinks so much of him. Regardless of which it is, this comes back to what I said on ch.2 about his thoughts and training not matching up. It seems like somewhere along the way the training to excel backfired in his perspective of things. Whether it's because the priests always made him feel inadequate or just the doubt inherent in it being his last days, I was surprised he wasn't even a little pleased to be doing the right thing according to how he was raised. ...where the small of his back ended and his arse began. -I laughed a little at the use of arse here. It took me out of the scene because I didn't expect such a common term in a sensual scene like this. It's like seeing 'pussy' in an otherwise poetic love scene. Very jarring. He held his mouth to Asseo's as he rocked his hips in... -I'm by no means an expert on anal or having a penis, but I was under the impression the first time tends to be difficult if you don't know what you're doing. I mean, obviously Daja has some experience at receiving, but it's stated he's never done it himself and he's taking his time and all but it seems like he knows enough to multitask. I guess I'm just saying I was surprised with all his other doubts that this came to him so naturally. I sort of said in the ch.1 review that I like action and lose interest easily and this is true. The story has held me to this point and I will certainly check out the rest at some point, but I do want to mention that the pace never really picked up for me. I mean, 4 chapters in and this is the same day and basically the first 3 chapters were exposition. It's well-written exposition, but it hasn't built up yet. I'm not saying I need action by ch.4 or I hate every story regardless, haha, but I haven't gotten the sense of movement that something will happen soon. At this point the two main characters are far from each other and neither one has started toward the other so the story feels like it's idling, waiting to begin. I'm impatient, man. Could just be me, though. I liked the section at the end, though. It's a good hook to lead into the next chapter. I don't know if the ominous hint will be immediately addressed or not (are you alternating POV or just playing by ear?) but it made me want to read on to find out more. I feel like I've been mostly critical in these past reviews but I really am interested in this story. You've developed a rich, full world and you obviously have a firm grasp of the direction you want to take it. Dialogue and description are done well and set the mood of the piece. |
Nesasio chapter 3 . 3/14/2013 He even wore toe rings, currently hidden under his boots. -OW. NO. DON'T DO THAT, IT'S SO PAINFUL. D: Word choice nitpick: Balasar purses his lips like every 4-5 paragraphs, it seems. Repeated actions are all part of characterization, admittedly, but it's an unusual phrase that keeps popping up. I'm adding this note as of the third usage in this chapter and the find feature informs me there's a fourth as well and I have an irrational desire to slap him, haha. I probably wouldn't have picked up on it if the same action hadn't been previously applied to Daja as well and I thought 'wow, I haven't seen someone use that phrase in a while'. And then I kept seeing it. ...her dirty blonde hair... -There have been a few places before now where I thought hyphenates might be appropriate but I left that up to personal preference. Here, though, I can't tell if you mean she has a specific hair color or if she's not particularly hygienic. Jaleah's description stood out to me as it was the first aha moment I had appearance-wise. "...her dirty blonde hair currently wrestled into a tight braid out of her face, sat with her back to Ortega, Jamiss's large and famously skittish spotted stallion. Arms folded, jaw set, and grey-green eyes..." Up to this point, I'm pretty sure this is the most specific physical description of any character, including the two mains. I'm still having trouble visualizing even a general picture of them and that's making it hard for me to stay in the story. So many things about the setting are described in detail and yet the characters are mysteries to me. I understand how hard it can be in limited POV to naturally work in a description of the focal character, but even offhanded comments about their clothes, hair color/style, current physical health...etc., will add up to a good description in the end. I really liked the dialogue in this chapter. The banter between Balasar's people felt really natural and I thought it showed their familiarity well. In this case, the exposition dialogue stood out to me but even that was reasonable given the situation. |

What do you think of the
Adventure Medical Ultralight & Watertight .5 First Aid Kit
? Share a...
Here's what others have to say...
Greg Anderson
Can you afford not to have this?
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I used to carry tissue and duct-tape. This is a big upgrade.
Rusty Olds
Cheap and Easy!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Good kit, small. lightweight and includes everything you should need for minor injuries. Prob not good for deep back country adventure as there is not a lot of gear for serious trauma . But a good personal kit for your day pack or car.
Great little starter kit
I agree with what everyone else about this little first aid kit. It has room to put extra stuff, which is needed. I bought this to replace a bigger med kit i had, which is now in my truck. The water proof aspect is awesome. I made mine into more of a survival style kit. I added a space blanket, strike anywhere matches, small lighter, lip bomb, a few more pain pills, hand sanitizer, 540 para-cord and a little bit of TP for starting a fire. Duck Tape is a must as well but I carry that around my water bottle.
Andy H
Nice kit!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I take this little kit everywhere! It came with useful items, but I added some additional things to make it a little more comprehensive. I added more butterfly closure bandages, additional medications, QuickClot, sunscreen, and lip balm. Great kit to take on a day trip or while traveling. Love it!
Terran Siladi
Inside the kit
Terran Siladi
Med Kit
Terran Siladi
Carry it everywhere!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have always lived by the mantra that it is better to be safe then sorry... but with this medpack if you end up sorry at least you can sort it out ok! Plus it's so light that you can always keep it with you!
I have the older version, but it's still going strong. I've obviously used some stuff up, like the moleskin and med tape... but luckily I haven't had to use most of the more serious stuff but the pack is easily refillable with things you can buy at the store yourself (don't let them trick you into buying their overpriced refills). I'v also added some things like a small bottle of ibuprofen, gold bond power, safety pins, anti-diarrhea pills, and some extra bandaids. I use those things specifically all the time, and i'm always the person who has a bandaid on hand when someone scrapes up their fingers or something.
The waterproof bag on the old one was crap, ripped like the second time I tried to close it, but this was fixed easily enough by replacing it with a durable freezer ziploc bag. It looks like they might have updated the design of the waterproof bag for this new one anyways.
If you aren't already carrying a MedPack I would certainly suggest this one, it's great for 1-2 people, so either make sure everyone in the group has there own, or maybe look at something bigger.
Perfect for a short trip!
Perfect for a short trip where you will be just a little too far from help if needed. Waterproof bag is essential.
Richard Possin
Solid Backcountry Day Trip Medical Kit
This is a great light addition to your pack for day backcountry split/ski touring. It's ultra-light, takes up next to no room and is waterproof so the contents don't get damp from condensation. The only thing I add is finger/thumb splints. You could probably stuff it in the inside pocket of a ski shell if you really wanted to.
Ryan Roeber
Great kit.
Good small and light kit, no excuse to not carry it! Enough room in it to add what you want to, such as quickclot, or a SAM splint. Good spread of stuff, and the things it comes with are pretty good, some medical kits come with really lousy band-aids and gauze, but the items in this kit are of good quality.
Thomas Ogasawara
Great kit
- Gender: Male
Comes with most everything you need, and has room to add the things not included.
David Page
good little kit
this is a minimum kit with bare bones. plan to supplement it with more stuff but it also is a necessity. downside is that the kit is so small that plan to pull everything out then search for the needed item. Otherwise, buy one and get a larger kit for your base station with more advanced care items. This is absolutely perfect for a day hike other small adventure.
I added sting wipes, moleskin, and more band-aid sizes.
Yung Lee
outer zippered bag and the inner dryflex waterproof ziplock bag
Yung Lee
a delight for ultralight backpackers
at less than 5oz, this kit comes with an extensive array of items to address the typical wound care, medication, and blister needs. The kit comes with a superlight rip-stop like zippered bag, and a dryflex waterproof zip lock bag inside that tolds all the items. The zippered bag is big enough to also hold AM's pocket survival pak and a Gerber Ultralight LST Knife, and some rubber bands. All together, they make my survival kit. The items seem to be all of high quality.
Everywhere kit
I'm an ex wilderness EMT and current medical student and this is the kit I always have on me. If I'm out with the family or a large group I bring something more, but going solo or with competent friends this is it. I will even throw it in the pack around town for those bike vs cab road rashes or dealing with the random subway first responder situation.
It's a great little package with room for extras. I added a pair of small trauma shears, a couple single use superglue tubes, a very small spray bottle of hand sanitizer and another of deet, an extra set of gloves a couple sugar and re-hydration packets, a couple packets of sting-ease, two yards of duct tape and a mini bic lighter. There is more than enough room, and the whole thing weighs in at under 8 oz. Not bad for a kit that can fit in my pocket and handle any common situation.
Cam Phillips
a reasonable insurance policy
I have this in the older version, but it is a great solo kit. One of my hiking buddies is a trained medic, so he carries a larger kit for the group, but I keep this one in my pack. At four ounces and seventeen bucks, it's a reasonable insurance policy.

The Tor Guides-Strawberries & Chocolates. What better way to break up the dreary drudgery of winter than with a bright, sunny slice of Swedish pop? The Tor Guides have the answer with their first album after their 2007 debut, Honeybees & Tangerines. This time it's Strawberries & Chocolates, and the tunes are as sweet as the title. Just like their compatriots The Merrymakers and The Tangerines, The Tor Guides make it sound effortless on tracks such as "Every Little Thing" which features Torbjorn Pettersson's slightly nasal vocals (almost like a Swedish Chris Collingwood) and Jeff Lynne-style production, the buoyant "Summer's Green" (featured on the most recent IPO collection) and the aptly-named "Sweet Apple Pie". The observant among you may have noticed this disc slotted in at #4 on David Bash's year-end list for 2012. Since it really didn't get a proper US release until around the turn of the year (late December on Kool Kat, mid-January on iTunes), I'm going to put it on 2013's account where it probably has a top 10 spot locked up.

Stephen Lawrenson-Obscuriosity. Stephen Lawrenson's third album (and first since 2009's Someplace Else) might just be his best to date. The Pennsylvanian power popper has signed on with Kool Kat, and he continues to perfect his ELO-meets-Crowded-House-with-a-little-Brian-Wilson sound. The title track is the real highlight here, inverting the usual order of things by making the verses more urgent than the chorus while all the while giving it a "lost classic" feel (in other words, an "obscuriosity"). "Words to Say" adds some jangle to the mix, and the piano-backed "Small White House" captures the mid-to-late-period Beatles vibe with all its attendant bells and whistles. This is top-notch stuff, and fans of this style won't want to miss it.

Running a tube preamp into a solid state preamp?
Is it possible to run a tube preamp (just for tone shaping) into the preamp on a guitar/bass amp safely?
I'm just learning about tube amps. So don't flame me if its not good to do, lol. Thanks |

I would expect that you simply have too much gain then; means tiny input makes horrible noise.
Doesn't have your unit a power amp input that you could use? Have fun, Hannes |

I have a Line6 Spider Jam (75 watt Solid State) which I purchase 4 or so years ago. I bought it for its recording capabilities. I have never cared for the sounds coming from the amp. There are times when I can get decent tone from it but only when turned up loud and WAY too much overdrive. Someone that likes acid rock would probably keep on hand down their pants playing it that way. Me, I like overdrive as much as the next guy but not wide open. This amp has always sounded very hollow tone wise. Anyway... The amp I normally play (Fender FM212R) is on the bench right now and I am waiting for parts to arrive. So... I am forced to either not play or play the Line6. Yeah, I know...
So I have been learning more about tube amps and on and on. and I had this idea (Ding!) I use a Bellari MP105 tube preamp for my vocal mic and it works wonderfully. I am quite the green horn concerning amp electronics etc. and have been wondering if anyone ever converted a solid state amp from transistors to tube(s) to create better tone. For all I know, it might be a completely futile endeavor but like I said, I'm ignorant to such things at this point. Then I got this idea, what if I use the preamp like a stomp box. Wouldn't that give some life to the tone, the way it does for my mic? So I tried it... Woo Hoo!!! I love it! Now I don't have a preamp in or an out on this amp (for some stupid reason) so I am using it like a stomp box. I can't add any gain (on the Bellari) in this setup because I did that with the mic once when I first got the Bellari and after a minute I could smell it doing bad things to my amp. Then I learned that adding gain from the preamp hooked in that configuration is a bad thing. BUT, the gain isn't needed. The preamp is changing the input signal and giving it lots of body and that unmistakeable tube sound. The amp its self is the volume as usual. I then added my TS5 Tube Screamer with the Monte Allums mod kit (Yes it made a kick *** TS out of a mediocre pedal). WOW! I have observed that for best sound in this configuration you want the effects to be before the Bellari. I was sure this would be something good tone wise because of my experience with the mic but what I got with the guitar is WAY more than I expected. I gotta tell you, this experience is taking my desire to go buy a Tube Amp down more than a few notches. I can't wait till my Fender is back on the road so I can try it on that one. That should sound real impressive because that amp sounds ten times better than this Line6 no matter what I'm playing. BR
If at first you dont succeed, perhaps it isn't your bag. Lol... Last edited by badraven; 6th January 2013 at 06:30 PM. |

Sound File
Here's a recording through the mic input on my SpiderJam. The mic port can be separated from the distortion of the amp effects, which is what I did here to get a clean of a sound as I can.
For comparison purposes I recorded this with my digital 8 track and mixed two guitar tracks and adjusted the direct connection to the left channel and the Bellari through on the right channel. So you can move back and forth left to right to make a comparison. The recording isn't picking up the complete picture here unfortunately because my condenser mic took a dump a few months ago. Currently I am using a Radio Shack special - Realistic 33-984c. I've had this mic for 20+ years. Its certainly reliable but that's about all I can say for it. But its good enough for our purposes today. Apparently I cannot upload a sound file here. Not sure what's up with that but here is a link to my server. Index of /byoc BR

A "pin-up" style photo of a raw chicken lounging seductively was recently published in the food section of The New York Times. The photo was accompanied by a story about eating crispy chicken. Seems the chicken photo has PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) clucking. The odd thing is that PETA has models do those exact poses without clothes to grab attention for their twisted messages, but squawks when they see a featherless chicken in a similar pose.
"When I saw it (the photo) I just couldn't believe that an editor of The New York Times would find it acceptable," said PETA's founder and president Ingrid Newkirk to the The Atlantic Wire. "It's downright offensive, not just to people who care about animals, but almost to everyone. It's a plucked, beheaded, young chicken in a young pose," Newkirk continued.

INTERVIEW: Maneka Ghandi on the connection between Climate Change and a meat eating diet by Kombatrock
UN negotiators are in Durban, South Africa this week debating the complex issue of reducing the world's CO2 emissions in order to slow down global climate change. Yet there is little discussion inside the UN talks of reducing another leading greenhouse gas: methane. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, Methane is over 20 times more effective in trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide over a 100-year period. Much of the world's livestock including sheep and cattle generate methane as a by-product of digestion. On average, each dairy cow belches and farts out 500 litres of methane daily accounting for 16% of the world's annual methane emissions. The 60 million methane tons that cattle generate annually is almost one fifth of all global methane emissions. Maneka Ghandi, former Indian Minister of Environment and Forests and a current member of the Parliament of India is in Durban asking UN officials why they are not considering switching to a vegan diet as a legitimate way to combat global warming.
