The game is sure to be a classic with many Suikoden fans, especially those like myself who felt disappointment with how III and IV turned out.
Those new to the Suikoden series and RPGs in general, you could choose no better series or game to start playing, this one has it all.
If you can handle slight annoyances every now and then and can stomach a prologue sequence that makes the beginning of "Kingdom Hearts 2" seem brisk and concise, Suikoden V is most certainly one of the best RPGs on the PlayStation 2, bar none.
The people that made the game really want you to feel like you're chosen by destiny, fated to be a hero; and they've put a lot of effort into it. Being completely solid doesn't hurt, of course.
Suikoden V is damn good. The story is one of the very best in all of gaming, even surpassing some of the previous Suikoden titles in its intricacy and brilliance with its complex, realistic characters and motives, and a plot that draws you in like a good book.
Suikoden has always been one of the underrated console RPG, and it really shines here with an engaging plot, solid combat system and stylish visuals.
With multiple endings, different paths to choose, hundreds of characters and lots of environments to explore, Suikoden V, can take its place at the top shelf among classic PS2 RPGs.
In the end does the Suikoden series proud, as it had seemed to be drowning, this puppy has been brought back to shore, and resuscitated.
Overall the game is very good, the story is intriguing with enough twists and political intrigue to keep most anyone glued to their TV while playing this game.
The storyline and level of characterization definitely saves the whole package, while the search for 108 Stars of Destiny, assorted mini-games, and return to old-school combat isn't without its fun.
Another installment that will make fans of the series jump for joy. So is the game worth its $39.99 price tag? Heck yeah, it is! If you're looking for an RPG with a large cast of interesting characters and a fun and exciting story, then look no further.
In the final analysis, Suikoden V brings the series back to basics in terms of what made past titles appealing, after a radical departure in Suikoden IV.
Suikoden fans will enjoy the resurrection of the core parts of the series, and shouldn't hesitate to pick this game up.
Suikoden V marks a complete return to the roots that made Suikoden such a great series during its tenure on the PSOne. Both Suikoden and RPGfans will find themselves absolutely enthralled with the story, despite the number of issues presented in the game. If your looking for a traditional RPG experience with just the right amount of tools: look no further than Suikoden V.
Suikoden V revives the series' spirit with a great cast, narrative, and gameplay, minus a few snags here and there.
While it certainly isn't the best RPG to be released this year, it is the best Suikoden game in a long time.
The first eight hours are pure boredom but when the storyline picks up, things start happening. The plot and the characters are both excellent and the fighting-system works well. Without the slow start, this might have been the best in the series. [Dec 2006, p.82]
A welcome return to form for the series. Even the plot revolves around minor characters from "Suikoden II," and the loading screens show the game's characters as they would have been rendered in a 32-bit sprite style, as if Konami is apologizing for the turns taken after that era.
Suikoden V is easily twice as long as the next-longest title in the series, a length it achieves not with filler dungeons and needlessly frequent battles, but by sheer weight of story. [Apr 2006, p.57]
In a refreshing change of pace, the story in Suikoden V is what kept us playing; typically it's the best reason to quit an RPG.
The battle system has some merit to it, as does the story, which has sagged a bit in the last couple of chapters.
Suikoden is mainly all about the obsessive-compulsive scrabbling for all 108 "Stars of Destiny" - which means yes, there are literally 108 characters to meet and recruit to your cause.
Suikoden V by and large shines if you can get through the sticky parts in the beginning.
Once you break through that long, sleepy quagmire of a start, the game really opens up and delivers an engaging storyline, incredibly memorable characters and a trio of solid combat systems that will keep you on your toes. [Jun 2006, p.83]
It's definitely better than most of the role-playing games out right now, but due to the Suikoden V's quirky nature, I'd recommend trying one of the previous installments before picking this one up.
Suikoden V isn't a bad game, but it is disappointing. With all of the promise shown with the graphics and damn-near perfect battles, I'm bewildered thinking about the blunders.
The slow start and heaver tilt toward exploration may turn off some who need a steady dose of action, but for the rest of us find Suikoden V worth the time.
There are plenty of RPG's that manage to be consistently solid without dragging the player kicking and screaming through the first 25 percent of the story. [May 2006, p.101]
Far from a perfect game, and far from being one that pushes the genre in the right direction. Suikoden V does however showcase some fascinating features and is worth checking out if you can tolerate some of the game's shortcomings.
A very average to mediocre game that's held together by a good story and cast. [JPN Import]
While there are giant leaps towards putting things right this is a game that seems to be grasping for what once was rather than setting its paths straight into a bright and engaging future.
At first glance, Suikoden V looks like just another turn-based RPG in which good and evil face off and destiny conquers all. But in a subtle, subversive way, it shows that we can't take our own goodness for granted. Learning that there is no absolute good in war is an important, and powerful, lesson.
A move in the right direction in terms of gameplay elements, but the series needs to completely revamp the visual and technical engines backing it next time around. This is far from the best RPG you can find on the PS2, but easily the best Suikoden in a long while.
It feels like nothing has changed since Suikoden 3; actually, Suikoden 3 probably looks better than 5. Grandia 2 looks better than this. If I had to be a stickler, Chrono Cross for the Playstation was more visually impressive.
The series needs a major shot in the arm, as it's starting to show its age more than ever. [May 2006, p.103]
Suikoden V doesn't remind us of the past, it reminds us how much games have grown since, which is something this franchise seems intent on not doing. [Issue 145, p.90]
It does little to update the series' aging formula, but Suikoden V is still an enjoyable experience with a compelling story. [May 2006, p.81]
Instead of picking where to go from a menu on the screen like you were searching for Carmen Sandiego, you actually get to roam around the various cities and other places on the map.
A great Suikoden game, then, but only a fair role-playing game by today's standards. [Sept 2006, p.128]
Although by no means a perfect RPG, Suikoden V is an enjoyable game, but more so for connoisseurs of the series or RPG fans. Those new to the genre might wish to go for something which is more accessible and moves at a faster pace.
Long loading screens and some bad design decisions make this game a tougher sale than it should be, but a great story and excellent voice acting make for an easy rental.
Its intelligent plot and great looks could have made Suikoden V spellbinding - if only it wasn't so tedious. [Nov 2006, p.106]
The game becomes more strategic as it progresses, I am assured by fans of the ten-year-old series, but by then it is very hard to care.

Hooray for And the award for "Making a great RPG by going back to the roots of what made the series so good" goes to Konami for Suikoden V. Hooray for Konami for ressurecting a wonderful franchise that became mired in mediocrity when it hit the PS2... unlike Squaresoft who takes a franchise that produced two of the best RPGs ever Final Fantasy 3(5) and Final Fantasy 7 and them makes garbage games that completely strip what makes an RPG great and disguises it graphical luster and polish, RPGs were never about graphics, but gameplay and story and characters, Suikoden 2 was the best in the series by far, 3 and 4 tried to destroy it bu luckily Konami, bless them unlike aome companies answered the angry and saddened fans cries and brought back the series to the old in Suikoden 5, just playing this game makes me feel at home like I was playing a polished and upgraded version of Suikoden 2, it has all the elements and themes that made 2 so appealing but adds more depth, more improved gameplay and a greater story even, I am 25 hours into it and finally have my castle which I am happy to see is an actual castle that lives and breathes and grows like the previous ones in 1 and 2, I am also very impressed with the new Duel and battle systems which have undergone major upgrades, the real time battles are great and exciting, I wish all companies would go back to the roots of gameplay and story like Konami did, Suikoden 5 and Dragon Quest 8 are the two best RPGs out right now and they both have the gameplay and story that us RPG baby boomers remember form the good old days, If it ain't broke don't fix it. Suikoden 2 was a classic masterpiece and now Suikoden 5 compliments what made it so great but now stands out as another masterpiece ready to stand the test of time!… Full Review »

Agreed. Even if the point is that we don't know which pills are sugar and which pills are real, the double-blind test with 200 people will still prove the effectiveness by the number of participants who show the desired effects of the real pill.

Position changes usually come from coaches seeing a better place for a player to make an impact. For Omarius Hines, he was the one that saw the opening. The redshirt senior noticed the lack of proven running backs on the Florida roster, and after not seeing the field much at tight end or wide receiver in recent years, Hines asked the coaches if he could start getting touches as a running back.

He leaves, he comes back, then he leaves again, and come back again.
OK, so I have met this guy for over a year and a half, and we had a lot of chemistry going on, we are from different cultures, which I think is nice.... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
something similar happened to me. he finally came back for me, said he never forgot me and we were in a relationship that lasted only 2 months. after that I got extremely hurt, I cried everynight for about 2 months. I hope the same thing doesn't happen to you. a guy who has a girlfriend and still keeps in touch with you, is a baaaad guy, someday you'll be in the position of the girlfriend and you ll be cheated on. and then its just gonna hurt like hell.
deep down I think you know he's a bad guy. you might be in love, but for everything you'll probably go through your pain is not worth the love you may feel...
What Guys Said 1
Sounds like, when he is board or needs a change of scenery he comes back to you. He has no respect for you - but with out sounding harsh you don't seem to have any self respect. The thing is that if he is doing that with you how do you know he is not doing similar things with other women. You need to put yourself in his girlfriends shoes. She is going to be really cut-up when she finds out - and can you deal with the karma?
What Girls Said 2
He is two-timing you and his gf. I am not sure why would you allow yourself to be involved with a guy with a gf. The question is what do you want.
You have a good point here! Well I want to be happy obviously, but girl, I can't seem to find a guy like that, I mean, he is the epitome of what I look in a guy, except he is actually cheating hhe. Anyhow, I will have to give me more respect myself
Have an opinion?

How to Sleep with Lots of Noise
Neighbors having a party? Bad thunderstorm? Or does your dad watch the TV too loud at night? Need sleep because of one of these reasons? Read this!
1Before you go to bed, take a hot bubble bath or have a warm drink to soothe you and make it easier for you to fall to sleepAd
2Shut the window if you normally have it open, as closing it blocks out some of the noise.
3Get into bed and lie in silence, and see how loud the noise sounds. If it is too loud, try putting on low music to block out the outside noise.
4Close your eyes and think of something else. Try to imagine the sound not there. Just try to forget about the sound. Maybe imagine a something happening, or write a story in your head. Try to picture a scene of a movie or something, just do something to distract yourself.
5Count. If you're alone, count aloud to high numbers. Think more about the counting than the noise that's keeping you awake. Count very, very high, until you get very, very, very bored and sleepy.
6If it is still too loud, and it is a neighbor's party, go and ask them if they would mind turning down their music/being quieter. Be nice and tell them that you understand they are having a party, but you would really appreciate some noise relief as you need your sleep.
- Remember, no one wants to keep other people from sleeping. If your neighbors are decent people, they will want you to be able to sleep well.
- Additionally, by asking them to be quieter, you may be helping other people who also cannot sleep!
7If the noise is something else, such as a thunderstorm or other natural noises, try earplugs.
8Think about sleeping in another room. If your living room is any quieter and the noise is low enough in there to sleep, move your quilt and pillows to the living room and sleep on the sofa.
9Fight noise with noise. Find a boom-box, or the equivalent, and set it up in your room, only tune it to a non-station. In other words, tune it to a channel that is only static, and turn it up as loud as possible. It should drown out all the other noise, but it will be so random that you will still be able to get some sleep. A fan will achieve the same purpose. You can also purchase a white noise generator that will produce sounds such as that of rain, a whitewater stream, or surf. You can even find free white noise files online.
10Lie in bed and get as comfortable as possible. Make sure your feet are warm, and that you have enough pillows to support your head. Then, lie there and think about things. Eventually, you will fall asleep, even if it takes a long time. It often seems to help if you think about staying awake!
11Relax, lying there - how? Think of and slightly flex (move) each area starting with your toes, then feet, then ankles, calves, knees, thighs,... continuing upward one part at a time, to the top of your scalp/head.
12Breathe slowly and deeply. Try counting to yourself, such as:
"1001, 1002, 1003, 1004; hold 1001, 1002; exhale 1001, 1002, 1003, pushing out that last bit of breath, on 1004!" Repeat that kind of breathing.Ad
We could really use your help!
Body Tricks?
Xbox 360?
- Lie on your bed quietly and think of something simple. Only focus on that one thing and you will slowly start to fall asleep.
- Having warm and comfortable sleeping conditions will help.
- Don't get nervous about the time that is taking to sleep. Is very common to dream that you can't sleep, when you are actually sleeping. Don't get angry; get in love with the noise.
- Make sure to close the curtains, shut doors and place something on the floor under the door. This may not block out all the sound but will help. Also, you may find that falling asleep with a television on helps to block out the sound as you are simply thinking about one sound which you may be able to stand.
- Keep your eyes shut.
- Listen to music.
- Try sipping warm milk before you try to get to sleep.
- Turn on a fan in your room; the steady sound will drown out everything else.
- Add the noise to your dreams. Think that the noise is with you and is just simple imagination.
- Use hypnotics from YouTube! Use headphones on loudest volume and you will soon be asleep!
- If all else fails, consider adding soundproofing to your existing walls and ceilings.
- Try placing a thick body pillow between the wall and your ears.
- Consider trying a tablespoon of honey per day, perhaps, with your evening meal.
- Sleeping pills are another idea. They will force you to fall asleep, regardless of any noise. Be very careful how you use them. Do not use them with alcohol, and use them in moderation. Most people do not become addicted to sleeping pills, but some brands are more addictive than others.
- Try to meld the sound in your head into one big noise blob, so to speak. Make the unwanted noise white noise mentally, by telling yourself, "I accept that sound!"
- Fix yourself a nice big double bowl of oatmeal and eat it. This will have the effect of making you drowsy and able to sleep.
- Get a better job so you can afford a better place to live with thicker walls and a cushy living situation that doesn't leave you susceptible to being disturbed by noises while you sleep, in other words build a life where you don't have to worry about such a silly dilemma like sleeping with noise.
- Call the police, if necessary. Disturbing the peace is not only rude, but it can also get someone in trouble. The police are there to help, and if your neighbors refuse to turn their music down or quiet their barking dog, go ahead and let your fingers do the talking.
- Listen to the noise and pretend it is a white noise such as a pattern... Try to make something good of it.
- Have the music be helpful instead of harmful. For example, if someone is having a party and refuses to turn their music down, listen to the song as if it's there because YOU want it there.
- Don't turn on your music so loud that your neighbors will call the police. Remember, not all of your neighbors are making the noise--there are other people out there who are just as bothered as you. Don't add to the chaos.
- If you ask people to quiet down and they become aggressive, don't push the issue, especially if you believe that they may have been drinking. Instead, leave the area and seek help: from an RA if you are in college, or from the police if the noise is a serious disruption.

Re: Display bleeding off monitor edges at max resolution
I'm no expert, so someone correct me if I say anything wrong.
You should be able to customize the display for your monitor by setting an appropriate ModeLine in the Monitor section of your xorg.conf and listing it in your Modes option in your Display subsection. Default VESA modes like "1280x1024" are built in to X, but these defaults don't always align with the screen.
A ModeLine consists of something like this
ModeLine "my_1280x1024_60" 108.00 1280 1312 1424 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066 +hsync +vsync
which happens to work well on my SyncMaster 930B. Starting from a working modeline for your monitor, you can slowly modify the horizontal and vertical timing values to shift the display a little bit. Which parameter is which is defined in the xorg.conf man page. I don't pretend to understand the specifics, I just remember something about experimenting by changing the hsyncstart and hsyncend (values 1312 1424 in the line above) by a couple multiples of 8, and changing vsyncstart/vsyncend (1024 1028 above) by just a few units (multiples of one). You can probably find on google linux instructions on how to alter them by hand.
However, I've heard that specifying a few bad parameters that are out of range
can damage your monitor
, so use it with caution.
xvidtune is a useful app that creates a modeline for you and allows you to interactively adjust it left, right, up, or down, and see the results. If you're on Suse, I know Sax has a similar tool (although I used to struggle with it). To get a modeline to start out with, I believe you can find what it's using as a vesa default by running with -logverbose 5.
I hope some of that helped.

Will Sanctions Help Syrians?
By editor
A package of tough new economic sanctions imposed this week by the Arab League is another blow to the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad. But will international pressure really help the people of Syria? Melissa Block talks with Kimberly Ann Elliott, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Development. Elliott co-authored a case study on sanctions against Syria that was published by the Peterson Institute.

Wait Times for Building Permits Declining, Kitsap's Top Planner Says
Kitsap County Department of Community Development has turned the corner when it comes to processing building and development applications, according to DCD Director Larry Keeton.
Once criticized for its slowness, designers and builders say DCD is getting better.
Over the past two years, Keeton has focused on increasing efficiencies in his office so a developer can find out more quickly if his project has been approved or if plans need to be changed.
"The signal we've sent out is that we're not doing things the same old way," Keeton said.
While the economic downtown resulted in dramatically fewer building permits for single-family homes in 2008, other types of applications have gone up in many cases, Keeton said.
Since his department experienced significant staff cuts last year, the new procedures have allowed fewer people to get more work done, he said.
Ron Perkerewicz, a former DCD director who now works as a consultant and home inspector, confirmed that the agency seems to be working more efficiently.
"I can tell that things are going faster by the decrease in the number of calls I'm getting," he said. "People call me if they are having problems getting inspections or they can't get a permit they need. They ask me what they can do to speed up the process."
Perkerewicz said he has heard positive comments about telephone access. More applicants are reaching a real person in DCD and fewer are shuffled through an automatic telephone system, he said.
Keeton said his staff has worked hard to implement Kitsap 1, modeled after Kitsap Public Works' "Open Line." Trained operators take an average of 250 calls a day, answering basic questions immediately.
For more complex questions, a "planner of the day" can take the call. These procedures have freed up other planners to focus their attention on reviewing plans and moving them along.
The number of applications for commercial building improvements increased from 74 in 2006 to 104 in 2007 to 129 in 2008. Meanwhile, the turnaround time went from 27.5 days in 2006 to 33.1 days in 2007 to 25 days in 2008.
The average processing time for preliminary plats (primarily housing developments) went from 356 days in 2007 to 145 days in 2008, a 59 percent decrease in processing times. Other declines in processing times were 43 percent for large-lot plats, 30 percent for short plats and 22 percent for home business permits.
Processing times for commercial shoreline permits declined by 55 percent, residential shoreline permits by 29 percent, critical area buffer reductions by 36 percent, and hearing examiner variances by 35 percent.
Most processing times remain longer than ideal, so there is still work to be done, Keeton said.
Reviews of detailed site drawings, known as "site development activity permits," remain too long, he said. The average time for a site review for a single-family home declined from 187 days in 2007 to 151 days in 2008, yet commercial site reviews increased from 190 days in 2007 to 283 days in 2008.
Mark Kuhlman of Team 4 Engineering in Poulsbo offered praise for the processing of shoreline permits, preliminary land-use approvals and initial applications. "But the review of detailed construction plans are not anywhere close to where they should be," he said.
Keeton said he is launching a pilot program that will lead to direct discussions between all involved planners and the engineers submitting applications. If that works, plan changes can be made during the meeting, with approvals given right away, he said.
"We're getting back to looking at the applicants face-to-face," Keeton said. "You get everybody in the room and work out any problems."
Planners involved in protecting natural resources, such as streams and wetlands, have become more involved in the discussions — partly because the new county administration building places all DCD staffers in the same office and partly because a staff reorganization put plan reviewers next to the long-range planners who drafted the rules. Protecting the environment remains a critical part of the process, Keeton said.
The department also has changed its procedures for granting occupancy certificates. Two years ago, the county discovered 2,700 properties for which building permits had been issued but never closed out. Among them were at least 41 projects for which some $80,000 in impact fees had never been collected.
The new process requires impact fees to be paid before the final building inspection. Inspectors will track progress on permits that remain open, Keeton said. Over time, the backlog of open permits will be reduced by talking to the owners.

I've never been one to talk about myself unprovoked. That being said, here goes nothing. I love being outdoors. Running, hiking, camping, snowboarding, even 4 wheelin in the jeep. I play any rec sport I can find. Softball, basketball, kickball, dodgeball. It's funny being an adult and playing some of these kids games, but it's a blast. I also enjoy running all sorts of races. I'm by no means a fast runner, but I try to get out there for some of the more fun races like Bolder Boulder, Warrior Dash, and Rugged Maniac. When I'm not enjoying the outdoors I like to watch any kind of sporting event or going to a concert. I like all kinds of music but love to see live music. I grew up in Indiana and moved to Colorado after college. I find myself constantly telling people how much fun Indiana was to grow up in, but moving to Colorado was the best decision of my life. A great date for me could be as simple dinner and drinks to something more active like hiking or biking. I'm looking for someone that is smart, has a great sense of humor, and enjoys getting the most out of life.
Camping , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Basketball, Running, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Cats, Dogs

Almost too many favorites to list. I like to get outta town, usually take at least one trip a year to Moab. Local favorites are 1up, Corner Office, Bluebird, Ogden in Denver. Mtn Sun, West End, and Jax in Boulder.

I love live music. If its got a good beat, then I'll give it a listen. I currently have Violent Femmes, Garth Brooks, The Doors, and The Devil Makes Three in my jeep right now. A assortment of genres but that's my music taste, random.
Hiking and camping are my primary escapes. I also enjoy running and doing a variety of races. Nothing too serious, but I like the excitement and energy of a race. A nice night out on town is always good.
Enders Game was my last read, but always looking for something good to read. Any recommendations?

Retired General Wesley Clark, former NATO Supreme Commander and potential presidential candidate, addressed the executive board of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees at the group's Washington, DC headquarters in a closed meeting. Following the meeting, Clark answered questions from the press for about ten minutes.
Clark said he addressed the group, at their invitation, with his ideas on national security issues and also domestic issues such as health care, taxes, employment and housing.
When asked if he would declare his candidacy for the presidency, Clark said, "I'm not going to say that." Clark continued, "I don't want to talk about the process … .let's talk about ideas." Later on, Clark asserted that he didn't try to contrast himself against the Democratic candidates during the private meeting because he said, "I'm not a candidate."
At the end of the session with reporters, one asked him if he's not a candidate, then what were the reporters doing there, to which Clark responded, "I didn't ask for this."
AFSCME President Gerald McEntee asserted that it was the group, not Clark, who arranged the press availability. Clark quickly apologized to the reporter, hoping he didn't sound to flippant.He said at that point, "I hope I didn't abuse anybody's time here."
Aides quickly stepped in and assured him it was time to leave.
After the press availability, McEntee was asked what distinguished Clark from the Democratic candidates. He said, "The way he was able to discuss terrorism and Iraq."
McEntee also said AFSCME expects to have similar private meetings with the (other) Democratic candidates. "This is just a step in the process," he said.
Regarding civil liberties, Clark said, "I think the Patriot Act needs to be taken out and reviewed."
In Iowa, "Republican legislative leaders accused Gov. Tom Vilsack, a Democrat, of acting illegally Thursday in vetoing portions of an economic stimulus package, including a $310 million income tax cut, while approving the creation of a $503 million development fund." LINK
"'The Legislature has no choice, really, but to defend itself' by bringing a lawsuit, said House Speaker Christopher Rants of Sioux City."
In New Hampshire, Governor Craig Benson signed the state's first abortion parental notification law yesterday. LINK
MoveOn "primary":
Several campaigns have grumbled to us that next week's MoveOn.org primary is a waste of their time and effort. Even the Dean campaign, which might be expected to do well in the "Internet primary," has some reservations. Campaign manager Joe Trippi told reporters yesterday that while a MoveOn win would be nice, it's doubtful Dean or any other candidate can cross the 50 percent threshold just yet.
But Dean for America does want a victory. MoveOn is just their type of deal. And the PAC money couldn't hurt later on.
To prevent that from happening, several other campaigns have asked their supporters to vote, hoping to gum up the works, so to speak, by preventing Dean from amassing a majority.
"Officials in Dick Gephardt's campaign said they were surprised when their supporters who registered got an e-mail encouraging them to vote for Dean. Gephardt's team considered pulling out of the primary but decided to stay in with reservations," the AP's Nedra Pickler reports. LINK

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your photo wall!!! I've been wanting to do this for a long time and you gave me the motivation to do it!
How do you post pics directly?
I love this thread!
Thriftyqueen, I love your photo wall too! I also love how the decal ties it all together.
Cookiepie, when you post there's a bar of options above it where you can change the font, hyperlink, and choose smilies. There's an option that looks like a square picture that if you click on it says "insert image". I believe you can upload directly from your computer.

I spent most of yesterday working on my living room. Spring cleaning and decluttering was the theme of the day lol! No baby toys on the floor, or muddy shoes by the door. The kitchen is next on my list!

I love to see a clean floor! Wish me luck in keeping it clean :)

Hi, I'm new here! I've been reading a lot for at least a week and just decided to jump right in!
Here are some pics of our 600 sf apartment. There's three of us, we only have one bedroom but we co-sleep with DD (2). The living room is a combined play room, home office (each person has their own desk!) and lounging area. The kitchen fits a reasonably sized table. The bathroom is quite small but it fits a washing machine. I feel like we have plenty of space, we have lots of room in the cabinets (we all share the built-in wardrobe in the bedroom). Though we used to have more stuff and I felt crammed and claustrophobic, but turns out we didn't need a bigger home, we just needed less stuff :D Go figure! I don't ever want a big house now that I've got this figured out!
Love your wood stove and wood floors Beckybird -- it definitely looks clear and clutter free! Way to go :)

Thriftyqueen I have found your photo wall so inspiring! I am trying to work out where I can do this in our home now.
Also in your other photo, I noticed the view outside...do you actually have snow in your backyard? (forgive my wide eyed wonder....coming from Australia I just can't imagine it!)

Yes, we have lots and lots and lots of snow. It started in October and we just had another big storm last week. Can't wait for it to melt and for some spring/summer weather! This is a closer view of my yard. This is the front yard.

Wow...it looks so beautiful. Although I can imagine the novelty might wear off quite quickly when you are ready for Spring to arrive.
We have quite opposite weather here of course.....it has been very hot for Autumn, still hot enough to go to the beach and swim in our pool...but the last 2 days finally have become a bit cooler which is nice, have even worn a cardigan to go out.
Minimum, I LOVE your home! How fantastically inspirational. I do hope that you share more!

Thanks cece!!!! I actually rearranged a little in the living room. And I took some new pictures from all over the apartment, including our wardrobe.. I hope this isn't too many pictures :)
My clothes (and DD's dresses on the far left). The bottom shelf of jumbled mess is my undies, socks and night wear. I also have a couple of cardigans, jackets and coats in the entrance hall. Two bottom shelves are for DD's clothes and diapers (not seen in this picture.) DH has the other half of the built-in closet.
DD's shelf of clothing in my side of the closet. In addition to this she has woolly stuff and outerwear in the entrance hall. She has actually a bit more than she needs atm.
And here is the entrance hall with open coat rack and shoe rack. The colorful winter overall is not supposed to be hanging where it is, but on the other side with the other clothing.. so that the hallway isn't blocked!
A robot hook hangs two bags that hold mittens, hats etc.
Cooking utensils and vintage jars with flour
The above shelves in the kitchen
hold a washable paper bag as DH's landing strip, an enamel mixing/serving bowl and an enamel coffee pot that functions as our water /juice pitcher. The rooster whistle is DH's memento from his grandma.
Close-up of DD's comfy corner. The tiger is from DH's childhood and I've made the pillows.
So, I don't know, I think we have managed to fit a very comfortable amount of stuff in our 600 ft one-bedroom without feeling crammed in the least.. I will try to pare down just a little more, but still stay cozy and homey for DD!! Mostly our thing from now on will be to limit the incoming stuff to minimum. And if anything does enter our home, something else must go. But the best thing is to bring in the bare minimum, only replace worn out clothing for example. DD will get new toys and books obviously but I will try to keep it in check and also have started to talk to her about giving away excess..DH is completely on board with minimalism and he isn't into shopping or clothes or anything much beyond computers and books, but the books go the his work place's library after he has read them so that's all good!!!
MiniMum, it looks like you are doing a great job keeping your small space organized and homey! I think it looks awesome!!!! I your green settee!
Hope, check out my life at http://thethriftyqueenspeaks.com
Thanks! The green sofa is from my mom's side of the family and it was recently reupholstered. It seats three people. There are also six chairs, but we have no room for them. The sofa is our least functional piece of furniture- pretty much only used when we have guests. It's not good for lounging, but oh so very pretty! Still, if someone else in the family would want it at some point I'd give it away.
Here are pics of the other side of the living room, with my husband's desk.
I'm still thinking of things to get rid of. Under my desk is a cardboard box full of cd's of childrens' stories (my aunt was a director in the national radio) and we should burn them and get rid of the actual cd's. Under my husband's desk is some of his junk. There is room in his side of the bedroom closet where we could put them, just need to sort through it... And I'm culling pretty much all the categories of stuff, but mostly things will just be "naturally decluttered" from now on, meaning we will use them up and wear them out.
@ MiniMum- Too many pictures? No such thing on a "Share your pictures" thread! Thank you, your space is very inspirational to me. Is the white cushion a bean bag type of thing? I love, love the light feeling that your home evokes. I'm motivated, hopefully I can share some pics of my own in the next few weeks!
P.s., I LOVE your office chair!
Christina, mama to 3 kiddos, Southern California

Nice work Beppie!!!!

Wow! What a lovely space:) I love all your books.......
very nice, Beppie! I need to get some bookshelves myself.
Beppie, it looks like there is lots of room for the kids to play :)
There is honestly not much else to our home than what I posted already, except the bathroom, which has a dim lighting and I will try to get a decent photo one of these days.. Maybe I have to use a flash.
I can post some detail pics of around the apartment, but really there is not much else to show.
minimum, you're home is a dream! so minimal and gorgeous!
always celebrating
Here are pics from our master bedroom that were actually taken a couple years ago. It pretty much looks the same right now except without any books on the headboard, the guitar is to the left of all the bookshelves now, there is a small recliner where the guitar was, and the dresser is moved to the one little spot of the wall that isn't in any of the pics!! I'm in the process of weeding out books because we are going to get rid of the bookshelf on the far right as well as the recliner (and am working to make the remaining bookshelves be only part books and part decor so as not to look so crowded)...then it will feel even more open!!
These other pics are from last week though. I just went through Bug's room again and weeded out yet more toys. Funny kid doesn't even play with half of what I did leave him...but I don't wanna leave him completely toy-less!! We ARE gonna be getting rid of the toys on the bottom right of the closet though...since he's too tall for the little wagon now and since the keyboard has to be hooked up to a TV to play half of it's functions and we are getting rid of our TV.
Sorry for spamming the thread, but it IS nice to see what IS clean in pics while in the midst of clearing out and organizing the laundry room, the guest bedroom closet, the office, and the garage...all of which involve a decent amount of work!! Off I go to get busy cleaning, organizing, and clearing out again!! :-D
Decluttering my life...
Texanromaniac, that really looks clean and clear! Everything is so tidy. Should be inspirational to you to look at these while you tackle the rest!
I have to agree that your place is really lovely! I'm truly digging it!
First, I love the grey/black/white backdrops with simple furnishings and then bright splashes! I love the green sofa! It's not something I would buy, but I love how it's a hand-me-down in your family. It's *perfect* in that way! And the color against the dark grey/black is fab.
Overall, I have a similar design aesthetic. We are looking to move from this apartment into a beach cottage with a yard. I'm excited about this new place because of the location, but it's also a beautiful victorian that looks right over the water (it's across the street from the beach, with nothing but road between beach and house. The exterior is done in grey and white, and the interior is really lovely, too. The floors are wood, and then I've asked if I can paint the walls. The color palate that i'm choosing is white, grey (silver-grey like the clouds here on a cloudy day), and a light blue (taken from a photo of the sea here, then taken down to a lower hue-value).
Most of the house will be minimally furnished.
Our bedroom will be as it is now: a king sized bed and our tall-boy dresser for clothes.
For DS, I'll eventually do his room in a twin of our bed, and a little side table/shelf for his candle, a small lamp, and his bedtime books.
For DH, I'll put together his office with a secretary desk, reading chair and lamp, and shelves for all of his books, piles of papers, and collections (he much less minimal than me. he needs his own space for his messy way of working).
For the living room, I have two danish modern chairs that were given to me by a friend (I need to recover the cushions) and I'll make side or coffee table (scroll down to the last picture) out of a bit of tree so that I'll have a place for my cup of tea. I'll also have some floor cushions since I normally sit on the floor. I'll need some kind of shelving for DS's and my own books and DS's toys.
But, the first priority is a table. I'd like a table like this one, though I've also found some that are more simple that I like. I have chairs to go with it already -- these funky old wire ones from the 70s (at $10 a piece, they were a fabulous a steal!). They are rusty, and I think it would look great with table similar to the one linked and one of these as a pendant light.
I love keeping it simple, and I can't wait to move in and share the pictures. Probably next summer. LOL :)

The United Community Chest of Cazenovia, Fenner and Nelson awarded $37,300 in June 2010 to 12 local nonprofit organizations. Founded in 1957 by area civic leaders, the Community Chest raises funds through a fall community-wide annual appeal to support local charities providing services to residents of the region. According to UCC President Phil Willard, the Community Chest is an ideal organization to support for donors interested in seeing their charitable gifts stay local.
"As private citizens, we're bombarded daily with charity appeals," Willard said. "But it's not always easy to see how our charitable gifts funnel back to our home communities. At the Community Chest we do the work for you; asking the difficult questions to make sure donor dollars get the most mileage for folks living right next door."
The United Community Chest is a volunteer organization with a seven-person board. Its only expenses are printing and postage for the annual appeal and insurance. To receive funds, local organizations complete a grant application which the board uses to evaluate competing funding requests and to determine overall annual expenditures.
Over the past five years, the Community Chest has distributed an average of $45,000 annually. As non-profit agencies face increasing cuts in local and state funding, Community Chest funds are needed now more than ever to bridge the gap. To direct contributions to the United Community Chest of Cazenovia, Fenner and Nelson, please mail tax-deductible donation to P.O. Box 73, Cazenovia, NY 13035.
In 2010, the following organizations received Community Chest funding:
American Red Cross
Cazenovia Children's House
Cazenovia Community Preschool
Community Action
Heritage Farms
Madison County Children's Camp
Madison County Office for the Aging
Project Caf
Wanderer's Rest
Arise at the Farm

Fortunately, Magic Johnson could never be hated by Los Angeles Lakers fans, but sometimes it seems like he's trying his hardest to get their goat. The legendary Laker said the Clippers, not the Lakers, are the new Showtime. Johnson declared that after the Clippers won their franchise-record 14th straight win. "I thought I would never, ever see Showtime again. And I was the architect of Showtime," Johnson said on ESPN, according to Larry Brown Sports. "The Clippers? That's Showtime." Johnson may be quick on the draw to compare the 2012-13 Clips to one of the greatest teams to ever take the court. The Lakers won five championships between 1979 and 1988 — a stretch that can only be put up against the 1950′s Boston Celtics. The Clippers have built themselves quite a squad, and it's showing since they've accumulated the best record in the NBA at 22-6. They're considered the deepest team in the league with talented players like Jamal Crawford, Matt Barnes, Eric Bledsoe and Lamar Odom not even starting. Though they've got a solid core and a deep bench, the Clippers will need to win at least one championship before being anointed the new 1980′s Lakers.

There's a very great deal that could be said about Vladimir Putin's editorial in the New York Times.
It's a curious experience, for one thing, to be lectured on morality and the rule of international law by Mr. Putin, of all people, and to see him expressing regret about the poor image that the United States has in many countries worldwide. Can anybody actually take this seriously?
But I was struck, as were others, by this passage in his essay:
My working and personal relationship with President Obama is marked by growing trust. I appreciate this. I carefully studied his address to the nation on Tuesday. And I would rather disagree with a case he made on American exceptionalism, stating that the United States' policy is "what makes America different. It's what makes us exceptional." It is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional, whatever the motivation.
I think I understand the danger of imagining one's own group to be the "chosen race."
But, as a matter of fact, America is, as a matter of fact, exceptional.
Within still living memory, for example, Italy, Spain, Japan, and Germany were ruled by aggressive and murderous variations of fascism, while China, even decades after the end of Mao's regime (which killed scores of millions of people) is still an autocracy.
America? Not so much.
Take a good look at the brutal record of France in such places as Algeria and Indochina during the time of the winding down of European colonialism, and try, seriously, to argue that the United States did the same thing.
And the contrast is extraordinarily clear in the case of Russia. Even if you factor in such significant embarrassments as the denial of the franchise to women, the mistreatment of native Americans, and slavery, America fares very well in comparison to Russia, which, during roughly the same period, offered anti-Jewish pogroms, serfdom, violent imperial expansion, and czarist tyranny.
America had the Great Depression and segregation, but the Soviet Union had the Gulag and the Ukrainian terror-famine and a general economy that made the Depression look downright enviable.
For the period immediately following the end of World War Two, the contrast between the Marshall Plan and General MacArthur's consulship in Japan, on the one hand, and, on the other the "iron curtain" drawn down upon eastern Europe by Comrade Stalin and his successors testifies eloquently of the difference between the United States and the Soviet Union. Even the Berlin Wall alone should be sufficient evidence of "American exceptionalism" when the alternative for comparison is Soviet Russia.

Unique, unchanging, and formed five months before birth, fingerprints have been an accepted and infallible means of personal identification for a century. In LIFEPRINTS, Richard Unger presents a groundbreaking method of self-discovery and offers a daily compass for meaning and fulfillment. Combining the science of dermatoglyphics (the study of fingerprints and related line and hand shape designations) with the ancient wisdom of palmistry, the LifePrints system is a simple yet profoundly accurate means of mapping one's life purpose. Like examining an acorn to know what kind of oak tree may one day emerge, reading our fingerprints reveals who we are meant to become.

"We loved these invitations. The card was nice thick quality but didn't go over the weight to use a normal stamp (Canadian stamp). The picture was excellent quality. The editor did a great job to unify the font (although did make a grammatical error but we caught it on review)."
"Could not be happier with this product or the service I received during the ordering and review process. We added multiple customized features, which were all implemented beautifully. The picture we chose printed clear and consistently."
"I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT! I was planning to do my own invitations but when I saw the price of wedding paper divas I was amazed! I was worried they wouldn't be the best quality for what I paid for such a cool design, but they are awesome! I have had so many compliments from the people I have showed. I had two things personally changed on the RSVP card and they were great with my personalized requests! They sent me my proof right away! I ordered my invites on a Wednesday, and the NEXT Tuesday I had them at my front step! LESS THAN A WEEK! Great Service!"
"LOVED my invitations! I tried not to fall in love with these, the folding and the extra postage just seemed like a hassle. But so worth it. The print quality was awesome. We used a color picture (I think B&W would also be gorgeous) and it turned out great. The design is a little fussy, you will get an email the next day explaining why you did and why they changed it, but it's all for the better! This invite really has the wow factor. And there is so much room for information on the back! I also used the enclosure card and RSVP cards that matched, it was just wonderful overall!"
"The invitation is better than I could've expected! The turnaround for the design drafts and shipping was super quick. I look forward to using Wedding Paper Divas again soon!"

Statute of the Staple
|27 Edward III
|Royal Assent
|Other legislation
|Relates to
|Text of statute as originally enacted
The Statute of the Staple was a statute passed in 1353 by the Parliament of England. It aimed to regularise the status of staple ports in England, Wales, and Ireland. In particular, it designated particular ports where specific goods could be exported or imported. These were the 'staple ports'.
It also established dedicated courts, known as the 'Courts of Staple', where disputes relating to commercial matters could be heard, in preference to the courts of common law.
The staple towns named in the statute were at Newcastle upon Tyne, York, Lincoln, Norwich, Westminster, Canterbury, Chichester, Winchester, Exeter, and Bristol, in England, as well as Dublin, Waterford, Cork, and Drogheda in Ireland. In Wales, the designated staple town was Carmarthen. From 1368, the wool staple was transferred away from Canterbury to Queenborough, in Kent.

I agree. I think "Regeneration" (which I enjoyed) was plenty of Borg stuff for ENT.
Regeneration still provokes some over the use of the Borg even though we never hear their name. It's very well done though, from the "The Thing" homage to the fast pace it builds up to. Music is good too.
Also the Borg Queen says "my species" at some point, to differentiate between her origin and humans. She is not a human so it really wouldn't make any sense.

Press release from Marketwire
Parex Resources Announces September Production of 11,850 bopd
Tuesday, October 02, 2012
Parex Resources Announces September Production of 11,850 bopd17:07 EDT Tuesday, October 02, 2012CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Oct. 2, 2012) -NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO US NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATESParex Resources Inc. ("Parex", the "Company" or "we") (TSX:PXT), a company focused on oil exploration and production in Colombia and Trinidad is pleased to provide an update on recent operations activity. Note that test rates are stated in gross amounts.Operations Update Colombia ProductionSeptember 2012 production was approximately 11,850 bopd as Las Maracas-4, and Kona-10 recompletion were brought on-stream. Parex' average Colombian production for the third quarter of 2012 was approximately 10,850 bopd compared to 10,389 bopd for the second quarter of 2012. 2012 Guidance ConfirmationParex confirms a 2012 exit rate of 13,000-14,000 bopd. The expected increase in daily production from the current rate to low end of the exit rate guidance is primarily comprised of tested wells being brought on-stream, appraisal drilling, and production decline rates on new discoveries being in-line with expectations. The high end of the exit rate guidance includes the previous factors noted above plus anticipated further exploration success and delivery of the non-operated blocks expectations.Los Ocarros Block (operated 50 percent working interest)Las Maracas-4 was spud on July 30, 2012 and began producing from the Gacheta Formation on September 6, 2012. Current Las Maracas production from three wells is approximately 5,000 bopd gross. Parex expects to drill two additional appraisal wells and one water disposal well prior to year-end, subject to partner and regulatory approvals. The first well in the remainder of the program is Las Maracas-5 which was spud on September 30, 2012.LLA-16 Block (operated 100 percent working interest)During September 2012 the Kona field averaged 5,900 bopd. To mitigate natural field declines, Parex anticipates that for the remainder of 2012 the Company's work program will consist of: drilling infill wells, recompleting wells and co-mingle formations. There are currently 12 active Kona wells, of which the last producing well was added during February 2012. During late August 2012 Kona-10 was recompleted, co-mingling an additional producing horizon in the Gacheta Formation.El Eden Block (operated 60 percent working interest)The La Casona-1 exploration prospect was spud on September 4, 2012, and has a target depth of 16,000 feet. To date, drilling operations have proceeded as planned and Parex is currently proceeding to set intermediate casing at 14,500 feet. Drilling is expected to be finished in late October 2012.Cabrestero Block (operated 50 percent working interest)Kitaro-1 is producing approximately 1,000 bopd from the Mirador Formation and the Company is finalizing completion operations at Kitaro-2. The next exploration well on the block Akira-1, was spud on August 26, 2012 and was rig released on September 10, 2012 after reaching its target depth of approximately 10,000 feet. After Kitaro-2, the service rig is expected to move to Akira-1 to begin testing the prospective Mirador and Gacheta formations. Parex operatorship and working interest are pending regulatory approval of the assignment pursuant to the farm-in agreement.Block LLA-32 (non-operated 30 percent working interest)The second well on block 32 Samaria-1, was spud on May 26, 2012 and Parex believes that initial testing conducted by the operator was not long enough in duration to allow for determination of a stabilized water-cut or expected production rate. The well was tested over a 68 hour period at a very low producing drawdown and the final tested rate from the well was 400 barrels of fluid per day at a 35 percent water-cut. Total fluid recovered during the test period was 340 barrels of oil and 1,196 barrels of water and that most of the water recovered was likely work-over fluid. Parex has been advised by the operator that the well is expected to be placed on long-term test to better evaluate the capability of the well.Block LLA-34 (non-operated 45 percent working interest)Tua-1 was spud on May 6, 2012, was drilled to a target depth of approximately 11,000 feet and was rig-released on June 10, 2012. As reported on July 5, 2012, the well tested oil from the Guadalupe (400 bopd, 13° API) and Mirador (1,700 bopd, 19° API) formations. The operator completed the Tua-1 short-term test of the Mirador Formation over a four day period beginning September 16, 2012 at restricted average rates of 1,400 bopd. Tua-1 began producing on October 2, 2012.The appraisal well Tua-2 was spud on July 16, 2012 and reached its target depth on August 26, 2012 with prospective oil pay in the Mirador and Guadalupe formations. Testing with the drilling rig was inconclusive as cement bond logs indicate that the prospective oil pay sections are inadequately isolated from the underlying water saturated reservoir. The operator expects to employ a service rig to attempt to remediate the wellbore cement, after the drilling rig has been moved off the Tua-3 location, which is expected to be spud during October 2012.The Agami-1 exploration well has tested non-commercial amounts of oil. Parex expects the well to be converted to a water disposal well for the adjacent Max-1 oil discovery. 2012 Drilling ScheduleRemainder of 2012 Planned Drilling Activity:Drilling TypeBlockWorking InterestField/WellAppraisalLLA-3445%Tua-3AppraisalLos Ocarros50%Las Maracas-5 (drilling)AppraisalLos Ocarros50%Las Maracas-6Appraisal / Water disposalLos Ocarros50%Las Maracas-7ExplorationEl Eden60%La Casona-1 (drilling)Exploration/InfillLLA-16100%KonaExplorationLLA-16100%Maragogi Norte-1The summary above does not include anticipated drilling over the year-end on blocks 29,30,40 and 57 which are planned for the upcoming dry season operations. Trinidad UpdateThe Company expects to complete and test the Firecrown-1_ST2 and Green Hermit-1 standing wells beginning in October 2012. Snowcap-1 testing is on-going. To fulfill the Central Range Deep Block ("CRB") work commitments, Parex and its partner are commencing a 340 kilometer 2D seismic acquisition and expect to spud the Deep CRB commitment well in mid-2013.Risk ManagementAs part of its risk management program, Parex has entered into the following commodity price derivative contract:Crude Oil: fixed price swap on Brent ICE for 2,000 barrels per day at $111.70 per barrel for the period from September 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012.Corporate Overview Parex, through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, is engaged in oil and natural gas exploration, development and production in South America and the Caribbean region. Parex is conducting exploration activities on its 1,350,000 acre holdings in Colombia and its 219,000 acre holdings onshore Trinidad. Parex is headquartered in Calgary, Canada.Advisory on Forward Looking StatementsCertain information regarding Parex set forth in this document contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties. The use of any of the words "plan", "expect", "prospective", "project", "intend", "believe", "should", "anticipate", "estimate" or other similar words, or statements that certain events or conditions "may" or "will" occur are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements represent Parex's internal projections, estimates or beliefs concerning, among other things, future growth, results of operations, production, future capital and other expenditures, plans for and results of drilling activity, business prospects and opportunities. These statements are only predictions and actual events or results may differ materially. Although the Company's management believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievement since such expectations are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties and contingencies. Many factors could cause Parex' actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, Parex. In particular, forward-looking statements contained in this document include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the performance characteristics of the Company's oil properties and wells; results of drilling and testing; results of operations; drilling plans; activities to be undertaken in various areas; capital plans in Colombia and exit rate production; regulatory assignment of working interest on certain blocks; quarter over quarter growth; timing of drilling and completion; planned capital expenditures, the timing thereof and the source of funding for such capital expenditures; and details of the Company's exploration drilling and testing program. In addition, statements relating to "reserves" or "resources" are by their nature forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions that the resources and reserves described can be profitably produced in the future. The recovery and reserve estimates of Parex' reserves provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered.These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the impact of general economic conditions in Canada, Colombia and Trinidad & Tobago; industry conditions including changes in laws and regulations including adoption of new environmental laws and regulations, and changes in how they are interpreted and enforced, in Canada, Colombia and Trinidad & Tobago; competition; lack of availability of qualified personnel; the results of exploration and development drilling and related activities; obtaining required approvals of regulatory authorities in Canada, Colombia and Trinidad & Tobago; risks associated with negotiating with foreign governments as well as country risk associated with conducting international activities; volatility in market prices for oil; fluctuations in foreign exchange or interest rates; environmental risks; changes in income tax laws or changes in tax laws and incentive programs relating to the oil industry; ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources; the factors described under "Risk Factors" in the Company's annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2011; and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Additional information on these and other factors that could effect Parex' operations and financial results are included in reports on file with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and may be accessed through the SEDAR website (www.sedar.com).
