The post Fairy Fencer F Hits Steam August 4 appeared first on Hey Poor Player.]]>
Idea Factory International announced today that Fairy Fencer F will be launching on Steam on August 4. The game, which originally released on the PlayStation 3 courtesy of NIS America, will be getting bumped 1080p and will also feature two free DLCs available at launch – "Beginner's Pack" and "Secrets of Shukesoo's Tower Pack" – to aid you in your quest to save the world.
To kick things off, Idea Factory has released the official opening for the game along with a new batch of screens that you can find below:
About Fairy Fencer F
Long ago, a war was waged between the Vile God and the Goddess. Both forces were equally matched, and sealed each other into another world using a special weapon imbued with their powers. And so, time passed.
The weapons that the Goddess and the Vile God left were called "Furies," and those who used them were called "Fencers." Furies were rumored to grant any wish to those who collected them all, and because of those rumors, Fencers were constantly in battle against each other to collect the Furies.By chance, a young man named Fang came to save a girl named Tiara, who turned out to be a Fencer. From that day forward, Fang found himself an important part of the battle between the Vile God and the Goddess.

The post Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight Review appeared first on Hey Poor Player.]]>
It's hard to believe that it's only been a few months since we last assembled our guild in search of adventure in Etrian Mystery Dungeon and now, here we are yet again embarking on another massive quest in Atlus' ever-popular dungeon-charting series with Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight.
Much like 2013's Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl was a fresh take on the series' original Nintendo DS debut, Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight is a wildly reimagined version of Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard. Offering an entirely new story mode to drive the dungeon-delving action forward, along with fresh animated cutscenes and a sweeping orchestral soundtrack, this overhauled expedition into the depths of the labyrinth feels like an entirely new game, giving seasoned adventurers another reason to explore the haunting Ginnungagap Ruins and the monster-infested forests of High Lagaard all over again.
The main draw of Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight lies in the aforementioned Story Mode, which puts players in the role of the sworn bodyguard to Princess Arianna of Celedonia as she embarks on a centennial quest to the heart of the Ginnungagap Ruins to perform a sacred ritual. Tasked by the Midgard Library along with your faithful archer compatriot Flavio to assist her on her mission, it doesn't take long before things go horribly wrong and an ancient course befalls your hero, transforming him into the beastly Fafnir Knight. Lupine in appearance, this new form offers a wealth of combat potential while slowly stripping the hero of his mortality, and the stage is set for the party to explore the labyrinthine stratum of the ancient ruins in order to break the curse and perform Arianna's ancient rites.
The storytelling in The Fafnir Knight is the best yet in Atlus' long-running series, handily brought to life with exceptional writing and some gorgeous cinematic scenes. Over the course of the adventure you'll explore forgotten ruins, haunting forests and sweltering labyrinths teeming with dragons, among other assorted locales, each of which feeling more fresh and exciting than the last as the story progresses. The main cast is extremely likeable as well. The banter between the ever-reluctant but endlessly loyal Protector Beltrand and his demure, meat-crazed (seriously, she gives Persona 4's resident carnivore Chie Santonaka a run for her money with her ravenous appetite for all things meaty) War Mage sidekick Chloe is consistently hilarious, offering a great sense of levity to the often dark adventure. Even the game's supporting cast and the townsfolk of High Lagaard themselves all manage to pull you in with their stories and various side quests you'll take on to assist them over the course of the story.
As great as the new story is, if you'd rather just dive headlong into the adventure in tried-and-true Etrian Odyssey form that's fine as well thanks to the inclusion of Classic Mode. In Classic Mode players can get right down to the nitty gritty, exchanging the Story Mode's established cast for a hand-crafted guild you can assemble from the game's 13 unique character classes, each with their own sprawling skill tree. While we much prefer Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight's absolutely engrossing Story Mode, it's still a great deal of fun to embrace the freedom the Classic Mode gives you as you tinker around with assembling the perfect guild for exploring the game's sprawling dungeons.
Of course, the heart of every Etrian Odyssey game (well, save for Etrian Mystery Dungeon) lies in the game's utterly engrossing dungeon-mapping aspect, and Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight is no exception. As you progress through the dungeons you'll map every room, corridor, trap and hidden passage using the stylus on the 3DS's touch screen. While those accustomed to just charging through dungeon's while the game does all of the work in other titles may be put off, I have always enjoyed this aspect immensely. There's a certain satisfaction that comes from jotting down notes to remember where hidden resources are stashed, as well as noting the location of tucked away crevices and oddities that are likely connected to an upcoming side quest offered in High Lagaard's pub. While the methodical pace certainly isn't for everyone, those who like to take their time and explore will find plenty of enjoyment tucked within this game card.
Regardless of whether or not you decide to play through the new Story Mode's adventure or create your own custom guild in the game's Classic Mode, you're going to be slapping down plenty of monsters along the way. For those new to the series, the combat in Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight is just what you've come to expect from JRPGs over the past 25 years. Battles are turn-based, and your characters are arranged in a front and rear row. Ideally, keeping heartier, melee-focused characters like Swordsman and the damage sponges like the Protector class in the front row is the smartest move, while squishier units like archers and magic clases hang back in the rear providing projectile-based attacks and support. However, Atlus has spiced things up a bit this time around with the addition of Grimoire Stones. These ability-granting hunks of rock drop from foes in battle, and can be used to augment your party with new skills, giving them an extra edge in battle, as well as allowing classes to perform spells and techniques that would otherwise be unavailable to their particular profession. This allows you to do things like give melee-based characters elemental magic, or deck your War Mage out with the ability to use firearms. It's definitely a cool feature that affords you even more freedom to tailor your band of adventurers to your liking. This, combined with the deep and branching skill tree system ensures you can spend countless hours fine-tuning your party to create the optimal band of dungeon explorers suited for even the most perilous journeys.
Of course, as a dungeon crawler you can expect the game to spend quite a bit of time grinding and performing optional quests for the townsfolk to get your characters up to snuff for the game's challenging boss encounters and insanely powerful F.O.E.s who stalk the labyrinth. Thankfully, side quests are extremely abundant and offer their own enticing rewards in addition to a hefty dose of experience, which keeps things interesting even when you feel you're at a standstill in the main story.
In addition to Grimoire Stones, another new addition to the tried-and-true Etrian Odyssey formula is the introduction of a new cooking feature that allows you to reap some major rewards with your culinary prowess. As you explore the many dungeons, you'll be able to gather ingredients both from gathering points on the map, as well as through killing enemies. Returning these to the High Lagaard restaurant allows you to attempt to recreate the cuisine of the the legendary cook Apicius. During the preparation phase you'll read a description of the dish, and choosing the correct ingredients to combine from your inventory will yield successful results in the kitchen. Once a meal has been prepared you can purchase it, which will give your party special stat bonuses until the next meal is prepared. In addition to giving your party an edge in battle, you can also exercise your inner capitalist by creating ad campaigns, marketing specific dishes to the people of High Lagaard in different districts. A successful campaign will bring in a rather large chunk of change, which is good because quality adventuring supplies aren't cheap! Perfecting recipes and reaping the rewards of your ad campaigns is surprisingly addicting, and you'll surely sink hours into becoming the Guy Fieri of Etria over the course of your adventure.
The visuals in Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight are also worth noting. Each stratum of the game labyrinth you'll explore looks wildly different from the last. Full of vibrant colors and varied, imaginative enemies along with massive and intimidating F.O.E.s, it's hard not to be sucked into the game's rich and gorgeous fantasy world. The game's bosses are mammoth and awe-inspiring, and even the game's visual novel styled character portraits looks simply fantastic, thanks in no small part to the game's eye-catching and imaginative character designs.
While the visuals themselves are great, the sound is what will really blow you away in Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight. Composed by the legendary Yuzo Koshiro, each fantastic locale you'll explore is accompanied by a soundscape that matches the environment perfectly. From the serene and mysterious melodies that play as you set foot in an enchanted forest, to the driving, guitar-laden tracks that play during the game's frantic boss encounters you'll be simply amazed. Ever since the days of Streets of Rage on the Sega Genesis, Koshiro's tunes have had mystically infectious effects on their listeners, and the mad VGM maestro's tracks are just as infectious as ever in The Fafnir Knight.
Much more than a simple remaster, Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight manages to offer one of the finest, most robust entries in Atlus' long-running dungeon-crawling series. Filled to the brim with content throughout the game's Story and Classic modes, there's more than enough dungeon-delving action here to satisfy even the most jaded monster-slaying cartographer (that is a legitimate profession, right?). While it likely won't persuade those who find the series' methodical pace unappealing, Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight charted a course straight into our hearts by delivering an exciting addition to the Etrian saga that no fan will want to miss.
Final Verdict: 4.5 / 5
Available on: 3DS; Publisher: Atlus; Developer: Atlus ; Players: 1; Released: August 4, 2015 ; ESRB: "T" for Teen ; MSRP: $39.99

The post Dying Light Expansion 'The Following' Announced appeared first on Hey Poor Player.]]>
First hinted at earlier last week, Dying Light's new expansion, "The Following", has been officially announced and detailed. The Following promises to be a "feature-heavy" and "story-based" expansion, with a new map supposedly as big as every other map in Dying Light combined and drivable all-terrain buggies for players to cruise around (or flee for their their life) in.
"For Dying Light: The Following we're adding a number of bold game-changers to create one massive expansion," stated Tymon Smektala, producer of Dying Light, in a press release. "Something big that will give the game a brand-new flavor. The new map alone is the same size as all the previous maps from Dying Light combined, so there is a lot we're packing in here.
"We also kept a close eye on player feedback to help tailor what we've created here. Hopefully people will see that this new expansion is first and foremost, for the fans."
Dying Light expansion 'The Following' will be available for purchase, with Season Pass holders getting it for no extra charge. The expansion will be shown at Gamescom behind closed doors sometime next week. A public release is slated for the week after.

While the upcoming fighting game Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax already promises to be an exciting fighting game, Sega has just sweetened the pot even more for prospective buyers. Those in both North and South America who pre-order Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax will receive a special Bonus Edition Soundtrack CD along with the game. The CD promises to feature arrangements by several accomplished composers including, but not limited to, Shinobi's Teruhiko Nakagawa, Sonic and the Secret Rings' Kenichi Tokoi, and Jun Senoue, composer of such titles as Sonic Heroes, and more.
Take a look at the Limited Edition version of Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax below:
While Sega's newest 2D crossover fighter will also be available in Europe, it will only be available via digital download. Unfortunately, that means no Bonus CD for EU gamers.
Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax is slated to hit shelves on October the 6th and will be available on both the PlayStation 3 ($39.99), as well as the PS Vita ($29.99).

The post Dropsy The Clown to Bring Joy And Nightmares To PC September 10 appeared first on Hey Poor Player.]]>
Publisher Devolver Digital announced today that Independent developer Jay Tholen's point-and-click adventure Dropsy will release on PC, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS on September 10.
As described by Devolver, "Dropsy is a non-traditional take on the classic point and click adventure formula starring the games perpetually carefree namesake clown as he explores a richly detailed world full of colorful characters and sinister secrets, doling out hugs along the way. Rather than lead players on a singular narrative path, players are free to choose which avenues of adventure they want to explore in an open world setting and can piece the puzzles and story together however they choose."
After being blamed for a deadly circus fire, Dropsy the twerking, hug-centric clown embarks on a quest to clear his name. Along the way, he'll interact with a peculiar cast of characters and interact with them through visual icons rather than the traditional text dialog trees you typically see in SCUMM-style P & C titles.
Dropsy is an outsider, longing for a community to call his own. during his quest, players will find answers to geographically based puzzles, unravel dark and shameful secrets from his past, and collect fancy items to stuff in his elastic waistband for use along the way.
Check out Dropy's announcement trailer below:

Three leading exponents of improved risk management in ports and container handling facilities have published recommended safety standards for container yard equipment.
TT Club, PEMA and ICHCA International have identified additional safety devices that can be implemented on yard equipment, along with other operational changes in order to reduce injuries and fatalities as well as cargo, property and equipment damage.
The three organizations have in the past united in campaigning for increased safety measures to be adopted to address common safety issues arising in quay crane operations. Now their attention turns to container yard equipment. Using claim analysis data* provided by the freight transport specialist insurer TT Club, the latest initiative draws attention to such telling statistics as:
• 53% of the total cost of operational related claims were caused by yard equipment
• 75% of the cost of injury claims in terminal facilities resulted from yard equipment accidents
• 67% of costs related to fires were attributed to yard equipment
"These headline findings point to a heavy concentration of avoidable incidents," comments Laurence Jones, TT Club's Director of Global Risk Assessment. "Analysis of the Club's data shows that up to 1,600 claims amounting to USD 130million resulted from such incidents. Changes to operational procedure, additional training and/or fitting safety equipment to machinery could significantly reduce this bill."
For example, lift trucks were involved in 30% of the bodily injury claims analysed. This was mainly the result of trucks reversing into people. The installation of anti-collision devices could potentially have saved USD30 million and prevented 51 workers from being killed or suffering serious injury over the last six years.
The tripartite publication entitled "Recommended Minimum Standard Safety Features for Container Yard Equipment" details all the risks identified in the TT Club claims analysis and, drawing on the considerable operational experience of the two industry bodies, ICHCA International and PEMA, offers comprehensive advice on how to off-set the consequences of each of these risks.
These preventative measures include the installation of reliable safety devices on the yard equipment. While these safety features and technologies are available and proven, they are not commonly part of standard specifications.
However, the Club advises that adoption of the recommendations must go hand in hand with safe procedures, training and effective maintenance and yard design, including controlled traffic flow arrangements and speed limits.
Nevertheless, the document will assist in assessing the risks involved in the choices concerning the appropriate type of equipment to be deployed.
Jones exemplifies another such measure and, crucially its economic viability. "Most fires in yard equipment are caused by fuel or hydraulic leaks in the engine compartment. Efficient servicing and cleaning procedures, the use of only good quality hydraulic hoses and fittings and the installation of effective fire suppression systems can almost eradicate these occurrences. An effective fire suppression system costing from USD1,000 to 5,000 could prevent the write-off of the equipment – such as a lift truck valued up to USD500,000 – and the risk of serious injury."
All three organizations stress that international, national and local regulations are mandatory, while these Recommendations are voluntary and recognise that technology solutions will not preclude all claims. The TT Club has repeatedly identified that the human factor is dominant in its claims analyses. Technology can support good practice and prevent certain accidents, but effective and continuing training of all personnel accessing a facility using these types of equipment is paramount.
The full text of the "Recommendations" is available from the TT Club website and covers all major types of container yard crane and mobile equipment. The hope of all three bodies is that these minimum recommended safety features will be adopted generally by equipment suppliers and buyers both on new and existing equipment to improve safety levels at the world's ports.
Stephan Stiehler, Chair of the PEMA Safety Committee and Strategic Industry Manager, Ports & Cranes at German port technology manufacturer SICK said, "Working together, we have produced a document that we feel offers unique value to the global container handling industry to define where and how safety levels could be increased".
*The analysis was based on a total of over 4000 claims valued above USD10,000 received over a six year period from operators of container terminals, yards and other container handling facilities; with a total cost of USD341 million.
Less congestion and efficient cargo movement helped international container volumes through the Puget Sound gateway improve 14 percent in June compared to June 2014, the port reported.

Upset Watch: Meet the little guys that could win in the Round of 64
Mar 17, 2014, 7:30 PM EDT
It's always fun to root for the little guy.
Every year, people across the country always root for upsets in the NCAA Tournament because it brings a unique excitement to America's most unpredictable sporting event. Whether you're just purely into the "David topples Goliah" storyline, or you want to be that person that brags to their friends about knowing way too much about Ohio Valley Conference basketball, everyone seems to root for lower seeds to beat some of the most storied programs in America.
PREVIEWS: East Region | South Region | Midwest Region | West Region
Here are five potential upsets in the Round of 64 involved double-digit seeds.
No. 12 seed Stephen F. Austin over No. 5 seed VCU
Winners of 28 straight games, the Lumberjacks went through the Southland Conference unscathed as first-year head coach Brad Underwood has done a tremendous job this season getting this balanced group to bye in. With five starters averaging at least 9.6 points per game — and all five shoot at least 35 percent from the three-point line — Stephen F. Austin is incredibly dangerous on offense thanks to their balance and ability to stretch the floor at all five positions. If the Lumberjacks can handle VCU's pressure, they could hit enough shots to get past Shaka Smart's ballclub.
No. 12 seed North Dakota State over No. 5 seed Oklahoma
Senior-laden North Dakota State will be a tough out in the Round of 64 thanks to their tremendous shot selection and leadership. Summit League Player of the Year Taylor Braun is a do-it-all senior forward that shoots it well from everywhere on the floor and senior center Marshall Bjorkland has been in the top-ten in the country the last two seasons in field goal percentage, as he hovered in the mid-60s — percentage wise — both seasons. With the way Oklahoma can give up easy buckets, you have to like Bison's chances if they can get stops on the other end.

No. 12 seed North Carolina State over No. 5 seed Saint Louis
If N.C. State can get past Xavier in Dayton — and they should — they pose a major threat for the rest of the field thanks in large part to sophomore scoring sensation T.J. Warren. The forward is the most ruthless and effeicient scorer in the country not named "Doug McDermott" and he's a matchup nightmare for nearly every team in the field. Saint Louis is also struggling, having lost four of their last five games entering the tournament. If Warren gets hot enough, N.C. State is a very dangerous team in this field.
UPDATE: NC State beat Xavier, 74-59, on Monday.
No. 11 seed Tennessee over No. 6 UMass
If Tennessee gets past Iowa in Dayton, then they should be a potential upset to watch against No. 6 seed UMass. The Volunteers are playing much better basketball down the stretch and won five straight games before falling to No. 1 overall seed Florida in the SEC Tournament. Four of those wins came by double-digits and the inside-outside combination of Jordan McRae and Jarnell Stokes is tough to stop. The Minutemen also struggled entering the field as they've alternated wins and losses since March began and lost all three games that they played against NCAA Tournament teams during that stretch.
No. 11 Providence over No. 6 North Carolina
After winning the Big East Tournament in dramatic fashion at Madison Square Garden, the Friars are very confident heading into the tournament. Even though senior guard Bryce Cotton is an All-American performer, the Friars won two of the Big East Tournament games with Cotton playing well below his normal output. Providence only goes six deep, but all six players contributed heavily in the Big East Tournament and the Friars can get points and rebounds from nearly everyone on the floor. It's not that North Carolina is susceptible to a loss as much as Providence is playing well and matches up well with the Tar Heels. This should be a good one.

"Love the location of this Villa, just a short walk to the beach. The island was very quiet during our stay and the weather just great. The Villa is very nice and comfortable and clean. We stayed in this Villa summer of 2013, also. That should tell you that we like it. We like the fact that no smoking is allowed and no pets are allowed. The owner is very pleasant to rent from."Guest: Jenny Date of Stay: September 2014 Review Submitted: September 23, 2014View listing
"Kiawah Island is one of the most beautiful vacation escapes and this home provides the perfect combination of beach house, comfort, and location. I've returned to Kiawah over a half dozen times now, and whether it be with my immediate family, sisters, or girlfriends, we always request this home. The three bedrooms provide ample room for 8 people with the upstairs loft, which is great for teenagers, younger kids, or for a girls trip. The short, scenic bike ride to the beach is a serene treat and the bike trail passes right behind the house. The location couldn't be any better; it's right between the East and West Village. The surroundings and personal touches of this home make for a memorable vacation at Kiawah Island."Guest: Denise D. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: July 2, 2015View listing

"He was just kind of left by himself," a friend of Richard Shoop commented to reporters.
I never met Shoop, but I nearly ran into him a few nights ago at a Nordstrom in Paramus, N.J. He had just shot a rifle in the air there, starting a mass panic and police lockdown that ended in Shoop committing suicide. Like every other customer and worker in the mall at the time of the incident, I'm unharmed -- Shoop evidently wasn't prepared to hurt anyone but himself. I just can't get Shoop off my mind.
Based on the media testimony of family and friends, Shoop seemed like he was trying to be functional. He went to work and lived his life. But he would fall into addiction, violence and confusion. And he's not alone.

The jubilant New Zealand Warriors hoped their star Kevin Locke had escaped serious injury after his hat-trick inspired them to a 20-18 National Rugby League (NRL) win over the Sydney Roosters in rain-soaked Christchurch today.
In what Warriors fullback Lance Hohaia described as the coldest match he'd ever played - on either side of the Tasman - Locke's try from a kick and chase in the dying seconds, and James Maloney's goal from in front, handed them an unlikely victory after the Roosters led 18-8 with six minutes left.
But it left Locke writhing in agony, clutching his hip after he slammed into the upright in beating the Roosters' chasers to the ball. As Maloney added the extras, the diminutive winger was carted off AMI Stadium on a buggy but still managed a wave to the roaring crowd of 20,721.
"I know he's pretty sore; he's in hospital being assessed and we won't know until later on tonight or tomorrow," said Hohaia, who created the matchwinning try with a grubber for Locke.
"It (the final move) was planned; we were setting up for a play like that the tackle before and Kevin was right there. He never gave up the chase, he's a little speedster and he got there. We're really happy for him and hopefully the injury isn't too severe."
Locke, who was dropped mid-season by coach Ivan Cleary, put in a man-of-the-match performance with two first half tries; the first when he chased a Maloney kick 55m within centimetres of the dead ball line and the second just before the break from an error from Roosters fullback Anthony Minichiello.
Giant winger Manu Vatuvei gave the Warriors hope with the Roosters seemingly set for victory when he crashed over out wide in the 74th minute, and Maloney's sideline conversion got them within striking distance.
It was a welcome turnaround for the Warriors who had won just one of their previous nine matches in New Zealand outside Auckland, as the Roosters chose to take their home fixture to Christchurch.
Both sides were coming off the bye and the result gave them identical 7-7 records as the Warriors snuck into the top eight.
"We're pretty stoked I guess. We didn't do ourselves a lot of favours throughout the game. I'm pretty happy that we stuck in there and were able to come away with two points in pretty wretched conditions," Hohaia said.
"Besides playing in the UK, this is definitely the coldest weather I've had to play in. It does have an effect on you but there are 25 other players out there dealing with the same thing. We played tough for most of the game and we're very thankful to go home with the win."
Heavy rain on top of a hard surface made it difficult for both sides to keep their footing and the handling errors increased throughout the match.
The Sydneysiders suffered a pre-match setback when captain Braith Anasta, who had been shifted to lock, was ruled out with a hamstring injury and replaced by Wellingtonian Mose Masoe.
The Roosters led 12-8 at halftime, with five-eighth Todd Carney a dominant presence, and looked to have broken the game open thanks to former Kiwi Shaun Kenny-Dowall in the 64th minute.
Kenny-Dowall busted the line from inside his own half, then in the same set of six grabbed the ball 10m out and bulldozed over, carrying three Warriors defenders with him.
Carney's goal extended the lead to 10 points with 15 minutes left and it seemed a long road back for the Warriors in the conditions.
NZ Warriors 20 (K Locke 3 M Vatuvei tries J Maloney 2 goals) Sydney Roosters 18 (T Carney S Kenny-Dowall M Pearce tries T Carney 3 goals)

There will be no move to toughen up Britain's laws on drinking alcohol before driving, the Conservatives stated before the election. But we do not have a Conservative government; we have a coalition, and the Liberal Democrats have backed the idea of reducing the permissible amount of alcohol allowed in the blood of drivers from 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood to 50mg – as was recommended by yesterday's review of the drink-drive laws by Sir Peter North. Such a change, he said, could save 168 lives – about 7 per cent of UK road deaths – in a year.
Sir Peter makes some persuasive arguments. No one should be in command of a ton of fast-moving metal if their judgement is seriously impaired by drink. Yet society must weigh against that the social impact of removing from the vast majority of drivers the ability to legally enjoy a very modest amount of alcohol on a social occasion.
Finding the right balance is not as easy as it sounds. The evidence from Switzerland, where the law was tightened from 80mg to 50mg in 2005, is that the number of deaths was almost halved. But France suggests that legal blood limits do not tell the whole story; the limit there is already 50mg and yet the proportion of road deaths attributable to alcohol (27 per cent) is higher than the number in England (18 per cent) where more alcohol is permitted. There are other considerations. Increasing the chances of being caught may be more effective than lowering the legal levels. A quarter of drink drivers are young men aged between 17 and 24 and the majority are men under the age of 30. There may be other ways of targeting such groups.
To lower the level in the UK to 50mg, and maintain the law requiring a 12-month ban on drink-drivers, would make UK laws the toughest in Europe. Add in Sir Peter's suggestion that drivers who breathalyse over the limit should no longer be allowed to demand a blood test in confirmation – on the grounds that breathalysers are today more accurate than when they were first introduced – and the UK law would become draconian.
The Government should give serious consideration to lowering the permitted level of alcohol but it is by no means clear that it should go as far as Sir Peter suggests. The law may need to be tightened in some areas, but legislators should guard against an over-correction, which would impinge too much on the modest freedoms of the law-abiding majority.

Paraclete protests that the evaluation of its proposal was unreasonable. The RFP advised that the technical factor (which consisted of 20 evaluated criteria) was more important than the past performance factor. That the technical and past performance factors combined were more important than price. That the vest systems were to have "a dual quick release system that allows the operator easy access to the quick release handle. " and were to "be capable of being worn by [special operations force] operators under the parachute harness without causing any increased risk of injury during static airborne operations.". The samples/proposals were evaluated. Eagle's revised proposal was evaluated as "green/acceptable" under the technical factor and "low risk" under the past performance factor.

"We were surprised and caught off guard by Kelvin's timing in deciding to transfer after a little over a week of practice and three games since becoming eligible," said head coach Tom Herrion. "We wish him the best in the future."
From Newark, N.J., Amayo had been on the Marshall campus since January of 2012, but as a non-qualifier was not allowed to practice until Dec. 20. He made his collegiate debut at Kentucky on Dec. 22 and also played against Delaware State and at Ohio. Amayo averaged 2.7 points and 9.3 minutes of play over those three games.
"I want to thank Marshall University for giving me a chance," Amayo said. "I just wanted to be closer to home."

HOA's: All for One and One for All?
The Home Owners Association usually bears responsibility for repairing condo building exteriors, but it doesn't always cover general maintenance. Read on to better understand your HOA's disclosures.
By: Tara-Nicholle Nelson
When you buy a condo or co-op, the HOA usually bears responsibility for maintaining and repairing the buildings' exteriors. However, if your HOA has a fairly small reserve account, and the roof(s) need to be replaced or the whole place needs painting, the HOA may vote to impose a special assessment on every unit's owner for their share of the repair bill. Large special assessments are usually proposed fairly far in advance -- a year or more is normal -- so if your inspector sees a lot of things wrong with the exterior of the property, pay special attention when you are reviewing HOA newsletters and board meeting minutes to see if repairs have been proposed, and if so, whether the expense will be covered by the HOA's reserves or special assessments against individual owners. Similarly, the pest inspectors often offer to split their condo inspection reports into sections based on whether the unit's owner or the HOA would be responsible for correcting the problem: under-sink leaks go under "Owner," and termites in the building's crawl space go under "HOA." And, unless your unit is a stand-alone townhome or in a building with only one other unit, it probably doesn't make sense to have a roof inspection. (The HOA is almost always responsible for the roof -- double check your HOA disclosures to be sure!)

The guide for the weft-picking element of a weaving machine is formed of alternating supports and hooks which complement one another in pairs to form a guide tooth. Each support is single armed while each adjacent hook widens towards the guide passage in order to form a support surface for the picking element. The construction ensures that a warp yarn which may jump from one lane into another lane through the guide is not overstretched.
What is claimed is:
1. A guide for a weft-picking element of a weaving machine, said guide comprising a plurality of guide hooks and supports disposed in alternating sequentially disposedrelation, each said guide hook and adjacent support defining a weft-picking element passage, each said support defining a single arm with a support surface for guiding the weft-picking element thereon and each said hook having a neck of widening shape todefine a second support surface for guiding the weft-picking element thereon and a second surface to define a third support surface for guiding the weft-picking element thereon.
2. A guide as set forth in claim 1 wherein each support surface is a plane support surface.
3. A guide as set forth in claim 1 wherein each guide hook and adjacent support define a gap therebetween for passage of a single warp yarn therethrough.
This invention relates to aguide for a weft-picking element of a weaving machine.
As is known, weaving machines are generally provided with a guide for a weft-picking element, for example, a gripper projectile, for the picking of a weft yarn into a shed of warp yarns. In some cases, the guides have been constructed ofindividual supports and guide hooks which are disposed in alternating relationship lengthwise of the guide and which complement one another in pairs to form a guide tooth, for example as described in Swiss Pat. No. 465,521. In such cases, each supporthas been formed of a pair of arms with one relatively long arm near a reed and a relatively short arm remote from the reed. During a weaving operation, when the guide moves into the shed of warp yarns, the individual warp yarns may cross within thespace defined by the two upstanding arms of a support to such an extent that the warp yarn is locally overstretched. This may lead to an imperfection in the woven cloth if not a breakage of the stretched warp yarn.
Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to obviate the risk of overstretching a warp yarn within a weft-picking element guide.
It is another object of the invention to preclude the crossing of individual warp yarns within a guide tooth for a weft-picking element in a weaving machine.
Briefly, the invention provides a guide for a weftpicking element of a weaving machine which is comprised of a plurality of guide hooks and supports disposed in alternating sequentially disposed relation with each guide hook and adjacent supportdefining a weft-picking element passage. In accordance with the invention, each support is formed of a single arm with a support surface for guiding the weft-picking element thereon while each hook has a neck of widening shape to define a second supportsurface for guiding the weft-picking element thereon.
Since each support is formed of only a single arm, a crossing over of a warp yarn cannot occur within the contour of the support and, hence, overstretching of a warp yarn can be obviated.
These and other objects and advantages of theinvention will become more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 illustrates a side view of a weft-picking element guide constructed in accordance with the invention; and
FIG. 2 illustrates a perspective view of a part of the guide of FIG. 1.
Referring to FIG. 1, the guide 2 is mounted on a sley 1 for guiding a weft-picking element, such as a projectile, across the width of a weaving machine. The guide 2is composed of a plurality of individual supports 3 and guide hooks 4 which are cast in a block 5. As indicated in FIG. 2, the supports 3 and guide hooks 4 are disposed in alternating sequentially disposed relation lengthwise of the guide 2 andcomplement one another in pairs to form a guide tooth 6 in each case. In addition, each support 3 and adjacent guide hook 4 cooperate to define a weft-picking element passage 8 for a projectile 9 which pulls a weft yarn 10 through the guide 2.
As indicated in FIG. 1, before the weft yarn 10 is beaten-up by a reed 11, the sley 1 with the guide 2 is disposed in a shed 12 formed by warp yarns 13, 14. After picking of the weft yarn 10, the sley 1 moves the guide 2 to a position 2'indicated in chain line outside the shed 12.
Referring to FIG. 2, for a better understanding of the invention, the contours of a support 15a and of a guide hook 15b of a previously known guide tooth 15 are shown in chain-dotted lines. As is apparent, the support 15a has two upstandingarms, one relatively long arm 15c near to the reed (not shown) and a relatively short arm 15d remote from the reed. Thus, a transition in the form of a dip or recess 15e is disposed between the arms 15c, 15d. During picking, a projectile is supportedin three places, i.e. on an inside surface of the longer arm 15c, on a surface of the shorter arm 15d and on a top inside edge of the hook 15b. In this regard, the hook 15b has a long narrow neck 15f so that a substantial internal gap 16 is left insidethe guide tooth.
As indicated in FIG. 2, one warp yarn 19 is disposed in a lane 18 of the guide tooth 15 between the hook 15b and the support 15a while a second warp yarn 21 is disposed in a lane 20 between the guide tooth 15 and the adjacent tooth 17, i.e.between the support 15a and the hook of the adjacent tooth 17. During operation, as the sley 1 reciprocates and the guide 2 moves in and out of the shed, the warp yarn 21 from the line 20 may hook behind the shorter arm 15d of the support 15a and passthrough the recess 15e into the lane 18 where the correctly moving warp yarn 19 is disposed. This deviant movement is indicated by reference character 21' and is shown in chain lines. As a result, the deviant warp yarn experiences unwantedoverstretching.
In accordance with the invention, the shorter arm 15d of the support 15a of every tooth 15 is eliminated so that only a single-arm support 15c remains near the reed for the projectile. Further, the neck 15f of each guide hook 15b is widenedtoward the guide passage 8 and is provided with a support surface 22 for the projectile. These two features ensure that a warp yarn which jumps into an adjacent lane is not overstretched.
Referring to FIG. 1, during passage through the guide teeth of the guide 2, the projectile 9 is supported on three surfaces. That is, each single arm support 3 defines a plane support surface for guiding the projectile 9 while each hook 4provides two plane support surfaces. As indicated, the neck provides a support surface 22 on a lower side of the projectile 9 while a horizontal top inside surface of the hook provides a support surface for the top side of the projectile 9.
In addition, as indicated in FIG. 2, each hook 4 and adjacent support 3 define a gap therebetween for passage of a single warp yarn therethrough while adjacent guide teeth define another gap for the passage of a single warp yarn therethrough.
The guide has been described above for use in a gripper projectile weaving machine. Of course, the guide may also be used for other types of weaving machines, for example a band gripper weaving machine.
The invention thus provides a guide for weft-picking element in which a crossing over of a warp within the teeth of the guide can be avoided.
Further, the invention provides a guide composed of two-part guide teeth in which overstretching of warped yarn can be obviated.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
30 Sep 2011 00:35 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia
Heavy gunfire and explosions have rocked the Yemeni capital of Sanaa and the southern city of Taiz, as clashes between government troops and rival tribesman killed at least three people.
Late on Thursday, in the protest hotbed of Taiz, south of the capital, one person was killed and five others were wounded as activists said their protest camp, where demonstrators have camped out for months to demand the ouster of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, was attacked.
"As dusk set in there was heavy gunfire on the camp, the bullets were flying over our heads. Now we're seeing armoured vehicles approaching the square and we're afraid they are going to storm it," said activist Bushra al-Maqtari.
Northern districts of the capital of Sanaa were also rocked by fighting early in the day, but the city later settled into a tense calm, with extra checkpoints set up by warring factions and many streets still deserted.
The office of the tribal chief al-Ahmar said two of his brother's personal guards, were killed and five others were wounded in Thursday's clashes.
Shelling and gunfire had engulfed parts of north Sanaa at dawn as troops and tribes loyal to the president battled armed followers of powerful tribal leader Sadeq al-Ahmar, Reuters news agency quoted one of its reporters at the scene as saying.
Breaking the truce
The fighting broke a truce aimed at ending the worst violence since a revolt against Saleh began eight months ago.
Many residents fled their homes as the fighting intensified, shattering three days of calm after Saleh ordered a ceasefire on his surprise return to Yemen on Friday.
"I only returned to the streets two days ago after clashes stopped, but I'll stick to the south of Sanaa today because it's safer," said ice-cream vendor Abdullah al-Wasabi.
The truce halted a week of fighting that killed more than 100 people and revived fears that Yemen, which borders top oil exporter Saudi Arabia, would tip into civil war.
Until last week, Saleh had been recuperating in Riyadh from a June assassination attempt. Western diplomats had pressed him to stay in Saudi Arabia while they struggled to push through a long-stalled plan to transfer power.
The president has hung on in the face of nationwide protests that drew strength from popular revolts in Egypt and Tunisia.
During the lull politicians and diplomats had scrambled to revive a Gulf-brokered plan under which Saleh would stand down.
Gulf nations and Western powers have been exasperated by Saleh's repeated last-minute refusals to sign agreed transition deals.
