Seeking my Co-star?
Ever sit and watch a romantic comedy and notice how perfectly matched the stars are in the film? Perhaps it all begins when boy meets girl at a coffee shop or an airport that is terribly busy but when he notices her with such a intense heart wrenching stare from across the sea of people... Wondering if he will ever see her again? Or perhaps it's that gorgeous neighbor that just so happens to move in next door...so the exchanges of the butterfly felt hello's and goodbye's seem to be the highlight of your week.... Encompassing your thoughts of the "what if" possibilities of being together. Then suddenly boy finally gets up the nerve to ask you out for a cup of coffee and it feels like you have been together forever...perhaps in another time or place and the cosmic force of passion and excitement are so intense that you can't wait to see each other again. You have finally found your soul mate...no more wondering if he or she really exists?!?! You connect like you are the best of friends trying to make up for the lost times and sharing your journeys of the life together. Then all of the sudden, you find out that she gets a promotion in another state but neither of you have shared your feelings with each other. Now the pit of your stomach feels as if someone poured acid. What do you do? Your fears of being hurt from your past becomes overwhelming and paralyzes you ....because you can't go thru "that" again!! So do you let her go wondering the rest of your life ...what could of been... Growing old alone still paralyzes you ...now with fear and regret? Or do you rush to the airport and the sea of people to find out she is already at the gate but you get up the nerve to grab her so tight that you feel your souls are united and kiss her ...finally telling her your true feelings!!! Well.... That's why my headline says seeking my Costar! No acting required...just tremendous love, compassion, support with a fearless tenacity to step out of the box of the mundane...to live a life with God at your helm-guiding you thru the sea of life. Having no fear to be that boy that makes the decision to go to the airport and not let the one chance of love pass you by! LIVE WITH NO REGRETS!

And now ... the naked scooter
Image of 4 - Use your left and right arrow keys to navigate the gallery
Article Summary
The Naked Motorcycle craze seems to be reaching epidemic proportions with the announcement by Honda America that its 2005 range will include a "naked" scooter. The Big Ruckus "blends the open feel of a motorcycle with the comfort and convenience of a scooter", according to Honda, though we have to wonder whether the new rugged good looks of the Big Ruckus will overcome the loss of the scooter's most appealing feature - weather protection.

Reviews From Guests
Isabel's apartment is very light, airy and open, which is great for escaping the sensory overload that BCN can sometimes throw up. The location is not overly central, but there are several Metro stations with 10mins walk. Also you don't have to worry about safety as there is a large police station across the road. In general our stay was nice, but we were a little disappointed to find that the apartment was not overly suitable for 4 people, with a shortage in suitable towels, and some sheets that needed to be cleaned. Also the sofa was, as far as I could tell, not suitable for 2 people, so at least one will need to sleep on the seating adjacent. Further, the apartment wasn't necessarily unclean, but it certainly was not overly clean, either. My advice to potential guests is to book only if you are 3 or less. All that said (and I am not generally a negative reviewer, check my others if you like), while we didn't meet Isabel herself, communication was good, and her friend Javi was kind enough to meet us at the building and show us in. All in all this apartment has potential, but needs a bit of polish.
Appartement petit dans l'ensemble, mais très bien situé. Terrace agréable qui permet de prendre le petit dejeuner à l'exterieur. Quartier calme, peu de bruit la nuit.
Well, I chose Isabel's flat based on two major factors. 0ne being a location that was perfect for my interests. Away from the tourist areas and close to the Diagonal where I had to conduct a series of meetings. The other major factor was that she was getting extraordinary reviews which I now find rather excessive both in approach and content. We are Spanish and obviously not the average visitor. There were a few things for which I preferred staying in a flat rather than a hotel. On one hand I did wanted to cook my own meals, I enjoy cooking and for different reasons it's been months since I had been able to cook for my wife. It was Impossible. Virtually no cooking utensils and those available looked in a rather pre-war stage that wouldnt make its use reasonable for health reasons. So you could order a pizza and very little else. Other thing that made almost compulssory for us to stay I'm a flat is that we were combining from a very long trip in Asia Adm needed deseeperatly a washing machine. We could use it. The difficult part was to hang the clothes wich ended in the back of chairs and virtually any hanging (website hidden). lamps. Someone here mentioned a balcony in one review, well the balcony does exist although it's 80 square centimeters made it very difficult for us both to stand together inside. And I am leaving the worst to finish with. The flat was dirty, lots of dust and could have benn done with a thorough sweeping wich we actually did. The place has no sofas to relax, unless you call a sofa to a 1,5m by 0,40 cm piece of foam inside a piece of cloth resting on a top. Very uncomfortable indeed. Finally we had to eat outside and the little time we spend in the flat we had to stay in bed, wich incidentally was minute for two people of average size. Most of the plugs wouldn't work and it was quite difficult to make yourself comfortable. And a piece of advice for future tenanats. Bring your own towels. They provided 2 bath towels for a 5 night stay wich were dirty and smelly same for two hand towels and I didn't have the hart to smell the one provided to stand on. At 70€ a night that we paid plus airbnb charges we found the place very very expensive indeed. And I highly discourage anyone to book it without thinking very carefully on the issues raised in my review. It could be ok if you are 18 and care little or nothing about certain things but myself at age 50 and even my wife 20 years younger found the place despicable. Next week I'm flying again to Barcelona and I'll be staying at a NH hotel on a special offer of 30€ a night. A final thing that need to be added. Many people here talk about Isabel being a wonderful host. Can't comment on that. Never show and never called to find out how we were doing or if we needed anything. I have to score one star because there's not the possibility of scoring zero.
Amazing apartment!!! I stayed with 2 friends for a long weekend and we found the apartment to be in a great location. Check in and check out were flexible as well. I will plan to stay here again!!!!!
Nous sommes très contents de la semaine passée à Barcelone et nous avons été très bien accueillis et conseillé. L'appartement est agréable, très bien desservi par bus, tram et métro. La situation de l'appartement dans un quartier résidentiel calme et à la fois proche du centre est idéale (commerce, petits/grand resto, le centre commercial Illia.
Isabel was an amazing host and the apartment was perfect for our family of 3. Our son slept in the bedroom while we were on the futon in the living room. The apartment isn't huge, but it was a top floor corner unit with an amazing terrace. The location was also nice... just a few stops away from the Sagrada Familia. Would highly recommend Isabel's place.
the apt was comfortable & conveniently located - on a quiet street. isabel was a very helpful & flexible host.
The apartment (especially the large terrace) is great. Location is very central. The host (Isabel) was very helpful and accommodating. She answered all my questions immediately and, even though she was away when I arrived, Isabel arranged everything so I would get into the apartment easily. The only thing that could be improved is how long the hot water lasts - the hot water doesn't last for a long time and so you either have to take a shower very quickly or you would need to wait for a while until the water becomes hot again (as it stops being hots after a few minutes). But all in all, a great experience and I would recommend the apartment and the host.
We spend 4 days in this cosy appartment and like it very much. The . location is really optimal - not in the middle of the tourist hordes, but not not too far from them (15 min by bus). The neighborehood is safe and clean, the building is modern and in a perfect condition. Sadly we couldn`t met with Isabel, but she was very friendly and responsible, and managed to solve all our questions by phone and with a help of friend of hers. Highly recommend.
Great little apartment, compact but cozy and light. Loved the terrace. Not really within walking distance of Born and Las Ramblas, but a nice area and easy access to train and subway.
Reviews From Hosts
E' stato veramente piacevole ospitare Isabel e suo marito Massimo .Sono due persone simpatiche , ben educate , rispettose ed è stato facile entrare subito in contatto con loro e passare un po di tempo in allegria parlando delle nostre diverse esperienze in Italia e Spagna . Di sicuro hanno lo spirito giusto per essere ospiti e ospitare a loro volta in airbnb e li raccomando a tutti gli latri hosts:)
Agnes and her fiance were phenomenal guests. Very clean and respectful, they left the apartment as it was when they arrived and their correspondance was very clear and it was very easy to arrange transfer of keys and entry/entrance. They came here on their honeymoon and it was very exciting to be a part of their special trip. I would recommend her/them to any AirBNB host!
Your brother was a great guest, he left the place clean and tidy, I would recommend him to everyone!
Isabel and her husband were very nice people, very communicative, they obeyed and respected all of house rules, amd left the flat very clean!! i would definetely reccomend them to any host and love to host them again someday!!
I was happy to have Isabel and her friends as guests. She, and they, are welcome back anytime!
Great tenants. A+

You apparently violated the terms of your probation. Get an attorney right away to deal with this.
How strong is a blood test in court for an ovi
First, the blood sample may have fermented in the days before it is finally analyzed in the crime laboratory; fermentation will produce alcohol in the sample. Second, the blood may have coagulated; this decreases the liquid portion of the sample and thereby increases the percentage of alcohol. Third, if the sample was analyzed by a hospital, they will probably use plasma or serum rather than whole blood – which will give a falsely higher blood-alcohol concentration. Fourth, it is not uncommon for the chain of custody to be wrong: the sample analyzed may not have been yours
Well, it sounds like you've researched the entire issue and have learned all of the reasons a blood test may be...

|About "Tube Flies - Flies tied on plastic or metal tubes rather than hooks" from Blog Creek – GFF's weblog
Here are some general tips on composing a Scandinavian style salmon tube fly - and a bunch of flies to inspire. Learn some basic methods and you can experiment wildly and still get some beautiful flies.
This fly is without doubt one of the best catching flies on the bigger rivers in Iceland! It was originated by Danish Henrik Kassow Andersen. Salmon guide Nils Jorgensen from Iceland shows you how to tie it.
Believe in ghosts? How about a black one? If you're fishing sea trout or brown trout, or even salmon, there is no way around the Black Ghost. It has caught thousands of fish around the world. This is an all time classic that has proven itself.
Once again, simple is good! Once again, black is good! Once again, rubber legs are good! Once again a tube fly from Nils Jorgensen. This little tube fly is so easy to tie that you can easily fill a box in no time.
Simple things somehow often seem to work and this has also been the case for one of Nils Jorgensen's absolute favorite salmon flies, the Raven NJ. It has proven itself many times.
Black and blue colors are great no matter where you are fishing for salmon or sea trout. The PET Blue is just one of several colors of Nils Jorgensen's PETs. They are great in all sizes and easy to tie on the new Pro Tube System.
"See what you can do with these" said Stuart Anderson, who owns the Canadian Tube Fly Company to Bob Kenly who often goes berserk with tubes and epoxy. And that's exactly what Bob did. He started painting the raw tubes.
Bob Kenly takes a turn with some tubes from the Canadian Tube Fly Company and converts a traditional Irish fly into something... let's just say not as traditional. So Chris's Irish Shrimp turned into Great Lakes Orange, a steelhead pattern tied on a tube.
Steve Egge has been spending some time lately playing at the vise with some interesting bottle tubes.Here is his latest, which shows how varied you can be with tube tying. Tying behind the tube, on the tube body and in front of the tube.
Swedish Michael Frödins newest DVD about his FITS tube fly system and the new turbo discs, which make the flies vibrate, pulse and move more water than using a traditional cone. The fly comes more alive, but are they more fish catching? At least eye catching.
This is another bright tube fly for clear water designed by Danish fly tyer Ken Bonde Larsen. And another one that uses a cone to add weight to the front of the fly. And another one, where the metal cone can be replaced by a common head or a plastic cone.
We continue our series of tube flies tied in the Scandinavian style. This fly is another subdued yellow, white and gray fly, well suited for bright light and clear water. It uses a mallard hackle to create a nice, closed shape.
A small black tube fly inspired by the classical Undertaker and flies like the Green Butt. This small fly shows that bube flies do not have to be large. It's petite, it's black and it's sexy with a small hotspot.
Do you know what flies to tie for clear water and how to tie them? Follow the Danish flytier Ken Bonde Larsen carefully tie some attractive and yet not too visible flies for the Canadian salmon. Tubes are his favorite and some with new plastic discs.
A bright tube fly for salmon in clear water created by Danish Ken Bonde Larsen. Tied in the Scandinavian style with a large and soft hair wing made of several layers. Easy to tie and impressive both in and out of the water.
Follow Kasper Mühlbach on his second day on Bon Aventure. A day of which he did not expect the big catches but the day turned out to as good as the first. Clear water, white tails, ospreys and
Ray Brook's classic the Sunray Shadow can hardly be outdone by any variation of this simple yet very efficient fly. But some people still like to add little details to killer patterns. This version of the Sunray has a body and eyes.
Two days of fishing in one of the world's clearest salmon rivers, Bon Aventure, Gaspé, French Canada. Follow Kasper Mühlbach for two days on this renowned river, famous for it's fantastic dry fly fishing for salmon but also known for plenty of grilse and larger atlantic salmon.
Two seemingly unrelated events led tube fly tyer par excellence Bob Kenly to this method of tying and to discover a coloring system that I have never tried before: dyed Lady Amherst tail feathers and a note requesting something different to be thrown in the water for salmon in New Foundland.
East and West Rangá are two of Iceland's most productive salmon rivers. GFF Partner Martin Joergensen had the chance to fish both this summer, and thinks back on a productive trip to a beautiful island - and on mud and rain.
Bob Kenly is reknowned for his radically different epoxy tube flies. This article recaps his experience with epoxy - and adds advice on coloring epoxy. If you want some truths about epoxy - and want to witness the death of a couple of myths
Tube flies - like most other fly types - come in as many shapes and styles as you can imagine. This article merely scratches the surface in an attempt to list some of them. I also touches upon a few aspects of tying one tubes.
Tube fly books are few and far apart and the moment Martin Joergensen learned that this one was coming, he knew it was a must for him. Mark Mandell and GFF contributor Bob Kenly have gathered a bunch of the most innovative and influential tube fly tyers in this book.
Have tube, will tie... but how to go about it? How do you actually manage to tie on a tube? Well, it's much like tying on a hook, just different. Learn to tie on plastic, metal, bottles, compound and rear tubes.
More information on tube tools than you ever thought you needed - from the lowly sowing needle to the full-blown several-hundred-dollar vise, and a lot inbetween. This article teaches you essential knowledge about how to hold a tube - any tube - while tying on it.
Want to venture further into the world of tube flies? This list of material suppliers, tools, vises, DVD's, books and much more will give you links to many more hours of entertaining reading and viewing.
This is the all-time classical volume on tube flies, and as the subtitle "A tying, fishing and historical guide" implies it deals with all aspects of tube flies. If you are looking for a general introduction to tubes in book-form, this is the way to go.
If you think that a tube for a tube fly is a cylindrical piece of plastic, then you are in for a surprise. This article will present more tube styles than most fly tyers ever imagined, and probably teach even seasoned tubers a thing or two.
This is the first article in the GFF Tube Fly Theme: An introduction to the concept of tube flies and some arguments for using tubes rather than hooks. The article will give you a basic knowledge about tube flies and prepare you for the rest of the theme.
Tube flies are flies tied on a tube rather than a hook. But putting it that simple is almost a crime, because tubes have evolved dramatically over the last few years, and bottles, rear tubes, Shomakov tubes, FITS tubes and all sorts of new systems have seen the light of day.
Tube fly tyer Tony Pagliei explains his Convertible Tube Flies - a modular system that combines a set of tube tied front parts and a set of dressed hooks into as many different flies as you can imagine in a versatile, modular system.
In an effort to entice larger striped muggers (stripers) during the spring herring run on Cape Cod when big fish venture back into the shallow estuaries to the herring runs, Pete Gray started tying 8-12+ inches herring flies on double tubes.
This strange popper came out of Martin Joergensen's vice recently and has already proved its value several times. See why it might be interesting to you, how to tie it (in meticulous details) as well as how it moves - and in video too! And learn why it's called Burning Man.
The Sunray Shadow is a true killer fly for salmon fishing. Tied on a tube with a wing and no body, simple as few flies, but still - or maybe rather because of that - extremely efficient. The fly uses few materials and is very easy to tie.
One of the strangest fly-contraptions ever to see daylight in GFF partner Martin Joergensen's vice (which has seen some strange flies). It's a tube fly. It uses one basic material. It's tied without thread. It's ugly, but it works. It's a popper with a lip - a Plipper.
With this book "Hairwing & Tube Flies for Salmon" Chris Mann has worked his way through yet another pile of flies sent to him from all over the world. And Chris Mann has done it again and provided us pattern-hungry fly tiers with a wealth of new patterns to inspire us.
"I hate to ask you, but do you want to go salmon fishing for a week?" The voice of GFF partner Partin Joergensen's friend Ole sounded sincere enough and Martin went with him to Norway to fish for small salmon. But the outcome turned out to be a lot larger than standard grilse.
Yep! It's yet another one of that Danish madman's muddlers. This time with an even longer name: The Short Heavy Chicago-Zürich-Copenhagen Delayed Nutria Tube Muddler or SHCZCDNTM for easier remembering!
A tube fly is different - a muddler is me - a tube muddler is a perfect choice. Tube muddlers are not unknown to me. I have tied and fished a few in my time, and I like them... so do the fish by the way.
Classics in a classic way. These flies may look like something of today, but the concept of Wadington shanks is old as Methusalem. Danish fly tyer Niels Have has converted four classics to effective flies for early salmon and sea trout fishing. See the pictures and patterns.
During a recent gettogether with some Danish flyfishers I hauled out some of my cod flies. One of them was this one - The Rocket. They were quite excited about the fly - first of all because it's a light tube fly, second because it's very durable. They saw in it not only the cod fly that I had made, but also a pike fly, a fly for pike perch and a universal fly for all kinds of deep fishing for larger fish.
The usual way of weighting a tube fly is by using copper or aluminum tubes. This article shows a totally different approach.
The Flasher fly is not so much a fly as a method of adding a spinner to any tube fly which under certain circumstances enhances its attractiveness to almost any species of fish.
The tube fly - or tube fly system - you can see on this page - is called the Banderillas. The name comes from the Spanish name for the sticks the the bullfigther uses during the fight. The body sections of this fly has some resemblance to these sticks.
This Danish tool might be an alternative. In spite of some minor drawbacks, it's a very good tool at a very reasonable price.

Heroes Of Newerth: It Could Be a Very Good Game
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion
Holy cow! MMorpg.com needs to stick to MMorpgs!
"The maps are small and uninteresting with no imagination behind them a problem made even worse by there being only a few maps to choose from."
Do you play MOBA's? Dota had one map, and so does HoN. By the way, the maps are not "small", I can walk more than three steps chasing after someone without hitting a tower.
"The game has sound, but there isn't much more to say about it besides that."
Hey play a few different heroes before you say that. Each one has a unique voice and each skill you use has a unique sound.
"The practice mode is useless because the lack of other heroes does not accurately represent the game as a whole, and the tutorial does not tell you anything about the met- game that feels like 90% of the player base has already mastered."
No, 90% of the player base has not mastered the met- game. I absolutely guarantee that. There are plenty of noobs (I do not use that in a derogatory fashion) that play at lower ratings.
"There is also a casual mode in the game, but not much is changed in it. You start with your hero at level three and gain experience and money faster, but besides that it plays the same as the normal game type. It is really only there to save people five to fifteen minutes, but seeing as no one ever plays it, you can take that long wait for a match to start at times."
Well this tells me two things. First, that you didn't play casual mode or you did and had no idea what you were doing. Second, it tells me you don't know what casual mode is. You don't lose gold on death (like LoL), you get more money from killing heroes, you get more money for assists, there is a shorter respawn time, denies don't deduct experience, and exp range is increased. There are also a few other minor differences you can look up.
I'm guessing the "you start at level three" business is an intentional troll because nobody could make that big of a mistake.
"HoN has many more heroes with many more abilities than was in Warcraft 3, but besides that not much else has changed. Again, griping on the lack of bots in Heroes of Newerth, Warcraft 3 had bots. HoN just doesn't do anything that hasn't been seen before, and some missing features really hold it back from shining in a quickly crowding genre."
Have you seen the dozens of hero skins with voice overs? The announcer packs? Colored names, taunts, new items, or icons? Theres a ton of stuff in the shop that really doesn't take that long to farm with silver coins.
Why do you needs bots? Seriously why? So you can pretend your pub bashing a bunch of morons? Learn like everybody else, by playing. If you suck, then your rating will drop and you'll play people just like you. PLUS, you get coins even if you lose. So why would you want to waste your time with bots?
" If you have not played a DOTA type game before, then be ready for a steep learning curve, especially with the half baked tutorial and lack of bot-matches."
You must really love your bots. And yea, it's a steep learning curve. That's why, once again, you play match making and it will put you up against people at your skill level. I'm not going to take some random idiot off the street and pit him in a game of basketball against the LA Lakers. I'm surprised they even bothered putting in a tutorial.
Also, what do you mean by quickly crowding genre? Theres only ONE MOBA coming out called Dota 2 that has yet to see the light of day, the only other one is LoL.
I'm guessing your HoN experience wasn't a good one. You decided to write a review for HoN, but had never played it before. Joined match making, got smashed by a team of Brazilian smurfs (all with the fabulous voice pack), then came back and wrote a scathing review on how poor this game was.
Well, that's a little harsh. I've seen worse, but please play the game a little more and if you don't understand something just look it up online. My advice for noobs is just pick one hero (buy it with silver coins), read some guides, and get good at that one hero. Once you pick up the mechanics of the game, then try out another.
I give you 1/2 out of 10 stars for your review. And that 1/2 is for effort.
P.S. You should play casual mode. It's made for LoL players.
P.S.S I laugh out loud at your pros and cons.

The Harbor Mesa Lions recently installed new officers in an
ceremony held at the home of Lions Mike and Ann McIlroy. Harbor Mesa member and past District Governor Barbara Hayward officiated.
The new officers are Cathy Waters, president; Eileen Jensen, immediate past president; Debbie Karlson and Marianne Hahn, vice presidents; Sue Seager, secretary; Jennifer Kelder, treasurer; Terri Stoker, Lion Tamer; Lynn Seaholm, Tail Twister; Carol Van Holt, bulletin editor; and Hayward, Ann McIlroy, Gina Stansbury, Dalila Vaden, Monica Gilliland, Carol Proctor, Arlene Schafer, Sandi Scheafer and Amparo Candelario, directors.
Harbor Mesa Lions meet on the first and third Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. Visitors are welcome. To contact the club, check out the website at nhcmlionsclub.com.
A focus on Americanism
The Exchange Club of Newport Harbor is one of three Exchange Clubs in the Newport-Costa Mesa area. The others are the Exchange Club of Corona del Mar and the South Orange County Exchange Club. All are a part of the National Exchange Club, based in Toledo, Ohio.
The national charitable focus of the Exchange Club is the prevention of child abuse, and the Newport Harbor club was one of the founders of the Child Abuse Prevention Center of Orange County. While charitable funds are applied primarily to this cause, major funds and supporting activities are devoted to Americanism, youth activities and community service work.
A major project in Americanism is the celebration of Armed Forces Week each May, during which the club displays 1,776 American flags along the paths of Castaways Park, overlooking Newport Harbor. Flags are available to the public to be dedicated to individual members of the armed forces.
Another Americanism activity involves the installation and dedication of the Freedom Shrine, a collection of 30 important documents in our country's history, at public and private schools and courthouses. One of our particularly fun projects is GiveAKidAFlagtoWave; it involves our members handing out small flags at parades and other events for the kids to wave.
"Our youth programs are also important to us," club secretary John Kruse writes. The club gives 10 scholarships to students who have overcome major problems in their personal lives and are graduating from high school. Another program awards scholarships to eight high-achieving high school graduates. The Search for Talent program awards trophies to winning performers in three age classifications.
Community service activities include the John Crean Book of Golden Deeds and plaque awards to selected police officers and firefighters.
The club's major fundraiser is the annual food festival and movie screening, featuring samples from 15 local restaurants and the showing of a first-run movie.
Hall of Fame wrap-up
With the Daily Pilot Community & Clubs Hall of Fame luncheon successfully held June 14 at American Legion Newport Harbor Post 291 in Newport Beach, I need to express my thanks to a number of people. Serving on the planning committee were Jensen and Waters of the Harbor Mesa Lions Club; Kruse of the Exchange Club of Newport Harbor; Bob Fish from the Newport-Irvine Rotary Club; Al Rasch and Jess Lawson, American Legion Post 291; Charles Markel, Kiwanis Club of Costa Mesa; Mike Scheafer, Costa Mesa-Newport Harbor Lions Club; and Roger McGonegal, Rotary Club of Newport-Balboa.
Orange County Supervisor John Moorlach served as master of ceremonies for the third consecutive year. Rev. Msgr. Lawrence J. Baird of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church provided a thoughtful invocation acknowledging the service of the volunteers.
On Flag Day, the presentation of the colors was provided by the American Legion post. World War II veteran Walt Wagner led the flag salute while American Legion member John Stansbury led the audience in the national anthem. Lt. Brandon Jegoi, a Costa Mesa Police Explorer, shared his Explorer experience while Jeff Herrmann, an Orange County Boy Scout executive, provided the welcome.
The most often overlooked person at this event is Explorer executive Lane Calvert, a 40-year veteran of the Scouting organization who does the behind-the-scenes work. Thanks to one and all for the great work on the event!

Great beginners harness
I have the older version of this harness and from seeing the updates it has only gotten better. This was my first harness 4 years ago and I still use it from time to time. If you are starting out climbing I would highly recommend this for the price and quality. It works great for the gym, top roping outdoors, and also venturing into your first sports and trad climbs. It just works well all around for a person exploring the sport. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because there is much better harness I feel for specific types of climbing. However, I have recommended this harness to all my friends who are just getting into the sport, and they love it. So if you're looking for that first harness, I don't think you will be disappointed with this workhorse.

Re: Ghost Trick -- compare to Ace Attorney! Sequel-worthy?
on: March 15, 2011, 01:15:22 PM
Sequel, no. Spin-Off, yes. I think the series' next game needs to be to Ghost Trick what Edgeworth is to Phoenix Wright. Technically the same thing but from another perspective. With but a few exceptions most of the loose threads were tied in Ghost Trick and I feel the characters, especially the main character, would be "forced" if shoved into the spotlight of another main story.
However if the next story were told via a new protagonist with slightly different mechanics (like "Objection!" vs "Eureka!" if you follow the metaphor) with the old guard making minor appearances;
would be the way to go.
As for "is it better"? *shrugs* Each have their own appeals. Apples to Oranges apply here as they're both fruit in the end (supernatural-flavored fiction).

Curiousity: Why aren't people up in arms over this in The 3rd Birthday?
Age. A lot of what's bothering people with games like this is that it's a general tend for what look like very young girls to be sexualized, whereas even de-aged Aya looks to be in here 20s, MAYBE late teens at worst. AND there are people frustrated by the sexualizing there too, so it's not like The 3rd Birthday's considered completely kosher and AT3 isn't, but rather that AT3 has that extra layer that makes it disconcerting.
Plus you can argue it's optional in the 3rd Birthday by just playing really well and never getting HP so low as to be running around nearly naked!
Eh, whether it's 8 or 80 it shouldn't matter. Sexualized material is sexualized material. *shrugs* Then again I understand different societies try drawing different lines that people will accept and somehow justify it in their mind because everyone else is doing it. So that's a point I really won't press beyond stating my opinion.
Hypothetically; yes. But if pushed to a test that could be disproved quite easily. Just yank random gamers off the street til you had enough for a decent sample size (randomizing skill levels) and have both sets play both games with the condition "Do not make your protagonist nude in combat." AT3 would pass with a 100% rate (assuming what I've read is correct, for all I know there could be a battle where you're forced to go all the way; like how Replakia was forcefully engaged in an AT2 fight) where there would undeniably be failures for T3B; especially considering the poorly designed boss battles where damage will happen as an almost foregone conclusion.

From what I've been reading around the topics and news articles it's, rather interestingly, pretty much AT3 in a different form.
Forcefully de-aged female protagonist/s, dumbed down story (with an incredibly bull-crap ending), poor characters, decrease in combat quality, and a stripping element integrated into the game mechanics.
The only difference is one's optional, one's not.

you to parade near-naked Aya around on screen via the automatic HP=Clothing system and been told I'm over reacting. But here in AT3 the clothes stripping element is
and has to be manually engaged by the player; yet people keep citing that as a reason the game needs to take a hit.
Then again the T3B topic has people over the moon about naked Aya in the shower so...I'll be darned if I ever understand the way people's minds work.

I didn't play the JP version, but as far as NISA localizing it for NA, they did a solid job. There's a lot of dialogue in Qoga, and it's amazing the quality job they were able to do. Everything makes sense and aside from the occasional typo (and I mean a really small number), there's not much to fault at all. It's on par with their solid translation of Sakura Wars ~So Long, My Love~ (which was another text heavy game).
EDIT: I forgot to mention, I read an interview back where NISA said they stayed pretty true to the JP script. Also, they made some changes to a certain character... You know what? I found the link, it's a pretty interesting read:

Either way, I'm curious as to why Gust has been going for a younger look recently. I mean, obviously to appease some of their fans, but when you compare it to more of the original games, I'd say the design quality has gone down, despite actually visually looking better. If you compare earlier Gust games, like Marie and Elie, they looked young, but not like 13-year olds. Judie and Violet both look much older, by at least 3-4 years. Then compare that design to the new Atelier game's design, where the heroine looks 12 or so (well, in the defense of Gust, she might possibly
It's more than something just happening in Ar tonelico, but in their flagship Atelier as well.
I think part of the new character design thing may have to do with the 3d modeling. While I'm not trying to defend it, it you look at the male characters, they tend to look pretty young for some reason as well, and the ingame graphics, at least for Atelier Rorona have a bit of a chibi thing going on.
^This. Somehow I don't think it's so much they're trying to use younger character as it is something gets lost in translation between the 2D design team and the 3D modeling team. Atelier Rorona is a perfect example of this.
this, in which the character looks 8 freaking years old
this, where she looks at least 13-15ish.
It's possible the "10 year old" look may have not been the design team's intention.

The difference here is that those swimsuits aren't sexualizing the children. AT3 is.
Heh, can't argue that point. :-/ That's part of the reason I won't be utilizing the Reyvatiel's higher stage transformations.
Quote from: Starmongoose on March 12, 2011, 01:01:08 PM
Your swimming suit argument is flawed. You make it sound like people dress their children in bathing costumes so they can be gawked at. I don't know about you guys, but any girls i've seen at the swimming pool who are less than 15 years old usually wear a one-piece number. Like a leotard or whatever, because it is good for swimming in. Same for little boys and their trunks or shorts. We are hardly going to send the children into the pull with a winter coat on and some wellington boots.
It's so the children can swim without being weighed down by their clothes. It's practical.
I wouldn't call it "common" but it happens often enough. You might just live in a more modest area. And personally I see no reason why a t-shirt and shorts wouldn't work compared to some of the things people pass off as swimwear. *shudders* I had to wear the shirt/shorts emsemble just because I burn extremely easily (even with loads of sunblock) and that never really hampered my ability to swim or my enjoyment of it.

And are you seriously questioning a purchase on a game because we don't want to see stupid-sex jokes and "little girls"...LITTLE GIRLS being stripped??
Potentially yes. Simply because of two words: Swimming Suits. People've been sending little children of both genders out, in public, wearing clothing that in general covers less than your standard underwear garment covers. Heck right now just to prove that point I could walk two blocks down to the local swimming pool and point out at least 5+ youngsters wearing less than some of the video I've seen of Reyvatiel transformations. And these are most likely younger than both the "appearance" and "actual" age of the Reyvatiels in question.
I'm not saying there isn't a point to what people are saying. However I find it very hard to take that point seriously when there are many, many examples of worse child exposure walking down the street without anyone so much as batting an eye. I cannot accept certain points when a clear double standard is involved.

Is Neptunia really a better game? Because getting beaten by Neptunia means you've sunk really low. Hell, I started watching a playthrough on Youtube once and FELL ASLEEP.
In all fairness Neptunia is one of those games that's more fun to play than it is to watch. There's a fair amount of set up and construction that goes into party prep. That and it's also better played in bursts rather than long sit throughs (like you would experience watching a play through rather than just playing it for 30-45 minute intervals before doing something else).

Y'know not to try and be rude but I honestly have to wonder; how many of you that are saying the game should be degraded/ignored for the sexism pay money for cable/satellite television? Or to go watch movies? (Within the past 20 years.) If so, and you haven't been barking at other people to do the same; you're kind of being hypocritical.
I'm not saying sexism is right, or even "funny"; but point out to me one major time period within the past 20 years where American movies, television, (heck probably even modern literature) was not stepped in the sexist notions of "Guys are idiots." "Guys only have sex on the brain." "If something goes wrong between a man and a woman it's automatically the guy's fault until proven otherwise". Modern American culture is stuffed to the brim with anti-guy sexism; yet I don't see people calling those instances out. But if there's sexism about a woman in a medium...sound the alarms!
Again, haven't played the game, not trying to be particularly mean here towards anyway; just saying it seems kind of...odd.

The hymnos was barely touched, I was a bit blue about that - but otherwise, the music in the game blows ...
Neptunia is getting sacked for a lot of the tasteless foolery and "humour" in the game and otaku's are furious... but unless you're a fan of that shit, what's there to like...?
Highlighting the two statements I found odd.
-Really? How does it "blow" I gave a fair portion of the tracks a listen (I know it wasn't a complete list because there are some battle themes missing) and it seemed par for the course for an AT game. Heck the music was far more pleasant to listen to than say...Fable 3 or Fallout NV for example. Granted I'm hearing these tunes out of context and at my own leisure without unwanted looping but I can't think of even a single track that entered "blows" territory. Even the strange little EP_NOVA.
-Is that game really setting off the "jaded" alarm that badly for people? ._. Neither me or my wife are huge anime people anymore. There's like...2-3 shows in our collection of DVDs at any given time and neither of us have watched anything from about 2002 out. Neptunia's self-aware parody humor has been rather enjoyable to listen to and she actually prefers I wait to play til she's home just so she can watch. Neither of us really fit into the modern otaku context and we find the game just fine. Nothing "OMG write home!" about but nothing that merits the ragging it seems to get.

They even fixed AT1 by having Jacqli (god I hate typing that) say that Lyner is a « legendary diver who cleared 3 girls ».
A normal diver can go to lvl 5.
A good diver can clear his partner.
Lol, Jacqli's just lying to preserve his pride. XD Think about how extremely dense Lyner was. I'd say it's more like 3 girls cleared him.

Ah crap. XD Oh well, maybe this time I'll actually bother with multiple save slots for a change instead of trying to retread the whole game. Should be fun to see what sort of Cosmosphere antics are pulled this time though. They're usually quite amusing; well...not counting that weird Cloche-Luca only Cosmosphere thing in AT2. ~.~;

Kodak Easyshare DX6440
3.5 out of 5
4 Mpixel now just above midrange
Not the best pictures in its class
This 4 mega pixel compact camera from Kodak, which sits comfortably in the hand, isn't the lightest camera on the block (weighing 220g), but the combination of brushed steel and plastic makes for an interesting approach for a casing.
The outside sees the usual array of buttons surrounding the 1.8" LCD (134,000 pixel) display and this includes Kodak's Share button allowing you to select favourites, print or email images once you connect the camera to a printer dock or PC.
The camera offers five different scene selections (auto, sport, night, landscape, close up) as well as manual control all via the jog wheel on the rear of the camera. The small joystick at the centre of this wheel allows for easy movement around the menu system although to the large of thumb the stick can be too fiddly.
The camera has an optical viewfinder with dioptre adjustment and strangely this is more than its 5mega pixel older brother the DX6450.
Inside and the images are saved onto an internal 16Mb memory. The camera offers a 4x optical zoom and 3.8x digital zoom and this gives an equivalent of 33-132mm in a 35mm camera from the f/2.2-13 Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon lens.
Images themselves are slightly dull, although capturing action with the sports mode proved productive. Whites are sometimes poorly defined at the edges suffering from chromatic aberration and this along with lack of detail let the camera down. Close up and the camera performs well (see girl in white shirt right) making this camera come out overall as a average shoot.

Hi, At other stores I have bought shapers for the poser clothing I've made and I can use shaders in clothing texture or clothing I sell. Usually for making latex texture for dresses. I just have to keep the latex in their folder when passing it on as part of clothing. But many of these poser shaders do not work in daz.
1) Are there any shaders for clothing, latex or other, in the daz store? I looked and am not finding any. I only found wood and other no clothing shaders.
2) If so are the rule for shader use in clothing you sell the same here? If not, what difference in terms of use?
