Sega: Yakuza 5 coming west in mid-November
Good lord, finally
Oct 16

I've been starting to wonder if Yakuza 5 would actually be releasing in 2015, as Sega and Sony promised at last year's PlayStation Experience and have scarcely mentioned since, but it seems the long wait is nearly over. Accor...

Review: Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax
Oct 07
// Kyle MacGregor
Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax (PS Vita, PS3 [reviewed])Developer: French Bread, Ecole Software, SegaPublisher: SegaReleased: November 13, 2014 (JP), October 6, 2015 (NA, EU)MSRP: $29.99 (PS Vita), $39.99 (PS3) Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax has the appearance of a hardcore fighting game, and it certainly has the pedigree, coming from Melty Blood and Under Night In-Birth team French Bread and Ecole Software, but both looks and lineage can be deceiving. Here, the studios (along with their Sega-employed producers and associates at Kadokawa) aimed to deliver a more accessible experience than their previous work, something less impenetrable to the average person than the Guilty Gears or Street Fighters of the world. It's a noble idea. For as enjoyable and well-made as Arc System Works and Capcom's projects are, they are incredibly complex affairs. The barrier to entry with these games is much higher than, say, Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. series, which is more easily enjoyed by newcomers, despite its potential for high-level play. Fighting Climax tries to occupy a similar space, striving to create a middle ground, an intermediate that can appeal to fighting game enthusiasts of all stripes. In attempting to do so, Fighting Climax strips away many of the genre's more byzantine subtleties, while adding tools to facilitate absorption. There are no elaborate inputs here, not by traditional fighting game standards, anyway. The most difficult commands involve quarter-circle and half-circle movements, which makes executing special moves or "climax arts" relatively straightforward without reducing the gameplay experience to something oversimplified or wading into button-mashing territory. Well, that is aside from the auto-combo feature, which allows players to string together a reasonably powerful series of moves merely by hammering on the light attack button repeatedly. It's a concession to beginners, providing a mechanism to chain together a barrage of attacks, but its use is limited, preventing it from being a substitute for actual skill. Also more simplistic than a typical fighting game are the inputs, which are identical across the entire roster. The 14 main fighters, from Toradora's Taiga and Asuna of Sword Art Online fame to the unlockable Selvaria of Valkyria Chronicles and Virtua Fighter's Akira, all have the same commands for their basics attacks, special moves, impact skills, and supers. This makes picking up a new character easy, but weakens the roster considerably. Since every fighter is essentially cut from the same cloth, Fighting Climax doesn't foster as wide a variety of play styles or combat strategies as do its genre peers. And aesthetically, while every character has unique animations based on the source material, most of them fall into the "waifu" female lead archetype, exacerbating the sense of redundancy and lack of diversity present in the mechanics. There's some depth to be found in the assist system, with 23 support characters to choose between and a wide array of support and offensive moves to augment your fighter's innate abilities. These can be used mid-combo at the cost of meter to lay on some added hurt or topple your opponent, or just in normal situations with a cooldown to disrupt or punish other competitors. While assist characters accent the roster, they highlight a myriad of unique figures in the Dengeki Bunko catalogue that would have made for more compelling choices than several of the leading ladies. While everyone will have their own favorites, I was particularly disappointed to see Spice and Wolf's lupine goddess Holo relegated to a supporting role. The stages are also an odd choice, drawing inspiration from a number of Sega franchises (Sonic the Hedgehog, Shinobi, Virtua Fighter, NiGHTS, and Phantasy Star Online among others), rather than the non-Sega worlds the vast majority of the cast is drawn from. While this makes sense in terms of the scant narrative the title's story modes offer, it's curious move on Sega's part to impose itself to such a degree in a game made primarily for fans of Dengeki Bunko's light novels and their anime adaptations. There is some fan service to be found in the story modes, though, where players get to see characters from various universes interact with one another in cute little vignettes. Beyond that, Fighting Climax offers a bog-standard suite of features fighting game enthusiasts should be familiar with -- a spartan training mode, versus mode, a trio of challenge modes, plus ranked and unranked online versus. Most of it is handled fairly well, but, while I have no major complaints, nothing is terribly exceptional either. French Bread is a talented maker of fighting games, giving the experience a high floor, but this is not the studio's best work. It's perfectly competent, but feels like a major step down from the outstanding Under Night In-Birth, even if the titles were made for different audiences. While decent enough, Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax may be too simplistic for most hardcore fighting game fans to enjoy as anything more than an ephemeral lark, but is also perhaps still too complex for those that find the genre intimidating. It feels like another instance of game designers shaving off any sharp corners in an attempt to please as many people as possible. Fighting Climax shows a clear reticence to take risks, and its failure to do so betrays its potential to become truly remarkable or distinctive. [This review is based on a retail build of the game provided by the publisher.]

When a bonus mode is better than the main game
Sep 26
// Kyle MacGregor
There's just something about Monkey Target. It seemed to have the power to transfix random passersby that might otherwise have little interest in games. Perhaps it was the peaceful music, which never seemed to get old no matter how many times you heard it. Maybe it was the bright colors that pulled people in -- a vast cerulean ocean stretching out as far as the eye can see, rainbow-coated targets, and rows upon rows of golden (and bizarrely Dole-branded) bananas hanging in the air. Maybe it was just the alluring concept of a bunch of monkeys in translucent balls rolling themselves down a slope toward the sea, popping the capsules open and gliding over the water toward faraway bull's-eyes. It's strange and fantastical -- the sort of thing you would have never dreamed up on your own in a million years, something you can learn in a minute but take a lifetime (or at least countless hours) to truly master. I'm not sure what it is about Monkey Target that I love so much. Everything, probably. Even today, I dusted off my old GameCube and fired the game up for a little "research." An hour later I was still trying to best my high score, just as enamored as I was 10 years ago. Are there any extra modes you enjoy more than the main games they're attached to? Funnily enough, the Chao Gardens from another Sega series, the Sonic Adventure games, also come to mind. Please share your favorites with us in the comments below.

7th Dragon III Code: VFD is uncompromising, or I suck at video games
Sep 18
// Brett Makedonski
[embed]311332:60431:0[/embed] Those two little bastards repeatedly killed me. Like, ten times straight. Each of their attacks would take off a third of my health, leaving me forced to use a health potion. They attacked again and I was right back where I started. When I got a blow in, it wouldn't defeat one of them (even my specials). Worse, because I didn't spend that time healing, I'd usually die on their next turn. I tasted victory once when it let me start the encounter with a preemptive attack. I think the game felt bad for me. With only a sliver of health left, I dealt the final strike and escaped the situation scathed but alive. Progress. Incredibly uncompromising and frustrating progress, but progress nonetheless. Seconds later, I hit another random encounter against the same two enemies but now with the amount of health I had after the first fight. Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. I gave up. 7th Dragon III Code: VFD wasn't going to work out for me. I know when I'm bested, and I absolutely was. Maybe I was missing something important and it's really not all that hard. Maybe it's tough as nails. Whatever the case, it sent me packing with my tail between my legs, and it's been a long time since a demo has been able to do that to me.

Miracle Girls Festival is fairly standard
Sep 17
// Brett Makedonski
[embed]311207:60413:0[/embed] Still, that familiarity (with the gameplay presentation, anyway) smacked me in the face and ears when I demoed Miracle Girls Festival. Button prompts flying from every which direction confused until they didn't anymore. Eventually there's a rhythm (ha!) you fall into. At least I felt connected to the music through my interaction. But, the honeymoon was short as Miracle Girls Festival ranked me as "standard" after all three songs I played. Cold. Not as chilly as all the times it flashed "worst" at me, but frigid nonetheless. The tracks were brief (probably two minutes, tops) so the onslaught of insults didn't stretch too long. Slightly ironic that Miracle Girls Festival repeatedly called me standard when it's the one cobbled together on the frames of other works. In doing so, it's completely predictable. Not that the fact will bother Project Diva fans, but it is. I can name-call too, Miracle Girls Festival.

Project X Zone 2 is more of the same, with new faces
Sep 16
// Chris Carter
To be clear, Project X Zone 2, so far, seems to be more of the same. Although Bandai Namco has promised advancements when it comes to the combat system, it's still very simplistic, and more style than substance. That's not to say that there's no strategic depth involved in general though, as the decision to employ defensive options at the cost of SP is alive and well, in addition to the general placement of your characters in each mission's grid. It just isn't nearly as nuanced as a lot of other SPRGs on the market. During my hands-on time with the game I was able to play a full level, which followed the mundane task of "killing all enemies," an objective typically found in the first iteration. Having completed the original it was an all-too familiar sight, albeit with the typical rush of playing as some of my favorite video game characters. During the demo I had access to Dante/Vergil, Chun-Li/Ling Xiaoyu, Strider Hiryu/Hotsuma, Kazuma Kiryu/Goro Majima teams, as well as the solo units of Captain Commando, Phoenix Wright, and and Ulala. As expected, the flair didn't disappoint. Dante/Vergil were a joy to play as, and the ninja team of Strider/Hotsuma (Shinobi) was just perfect. Seeing Captain Commando was also a treat, as he doesn't get nearly enough respect these days. Every single character is represented well, even the ones that can merely be called in by core units. It may be fanservice, but developer Monolith Soft is handling it in stride. Series producer Kensuke Tsukanaka was on-hand to talk about the game, and noted that in particular, they want people to know that this is a character-focused game, so the opening animation will not only feature every playable hero, but will clock in at just over two minutes in length. Tsukanaka went on to state, "We're aiming to look for new fans with an even bigger cast. We want people to see a new character and ask 'what game is this from?' We want them to become even more involved with the industry as a whole." The team is also stepping up the original animation with the sequel, as there will be more artwork than before both in and out of combat. I noticed this particularly during my demo session, as supers and abilities had a bit more visual flair than usual. When asked how this collaboration was even possible, Tsukanaka replied that "all of us have a mutual respect for each other. We've also collaborated for years with one another, so it wasn't too much of a stretch to create this project. The rivalry still exists, but it's a friendly one." Project X Zone 2 is still set for a November launch in Japan, and a February 16 date for the US was just announced.
Your mileage will vary
Based on the reception to Project X Zone 2, it's clear to see that it's a "hate it or love it" affair. Fans seemed to really take to the idea of playing as a cavalcade of heroes from some of their favorite franchises, but oth...

Total War: Warhammer's Dwarven faction shakes up the battlefield
Sep 16
// Alessandro Fillari
[embed]310625:60354:0[/embed] The developers have been keeping things pretty close to the vest when it comes Warhammer. While we've already seen the Empire and Greenskin armies in action, they've been very hesitant to share any details about the Dwarf and Vampire factions. As each army will have its own unique settings, politics, and overall feel from one another, Creative Assembly wanted to make sure it nailed its approach before showing it off to the world. Our session focused primarily on one of the earlier skirmishes in the Dwarven campaign. During the Ambush at the Thunderfalls Pass, the faction's underground networks have been breached by the Greenskins, and it must drive them out in order to keep its most secure and valuable asset in Dwarf hands. Unlike the other Total War titles, Warhammer has deeper ties to a general narrative during the campaigns. While you'll still have plenty of leeway into how you build the factions up, there will be several moments in the faction's plot that will affects several key characters from Warhammer lore, but will also change the course of your campaign. For the Dwarven faction, a great empire lies underground and they've built a network of tunnels to travel vast distances, transport supplies, and surprise enemies forces from beneath the earth. From underground skirmishes, to using the tunnels for trade during nation-building, the burly and stout faction will use the subterranean realm to strengthen its empire and debilitate foes. But given how valuable of a resource these tunnels have been to the Dwarfs, it's no surprise the other factions would want to take it for themselves. The Ambush at Thunderfalls Pass served as a great opener to not only the new field of war, but also to see how Warhammer made the transition to Total War. Despite the tonal shift and massive change in setting, battles should be quite familiar to those who've sunk hundreds of hours into the RTS series. Players control various types of ranged and melee units to engage the enemy and complete objectives. Along with a brand new mechanic called the Grudge system, which adds dynamic challenges based on how effective your attacks and strategies are against the opposition, the battle mechanics have evolved in this entry. With the fantasy aesthetic in full swing, the developers have gotten creative in implementing the classic Warhammer archetypes and lore into the Total War gameplay. Each faction possesses its own unique Hero classes, who are not only important to the faction's narrative, but also provide special skills and abilities to battles -- and many hardcore Warhammer fans will undoubtedly recognize a few of them. During this battle, the Dwarven units were accompanied by High King Thorgrim Grudgebearer, the ruler of the Dwarven capital city, who wielded a enchanted tome that allowed him to buff nearby units. Another Hero character with the army was Thane, a melee champion that was at his best when rushing into the thick of it. In addition to the large number of units, the hero characters add a lot of nuance to battles, as their special skills can seriously make or break a battle at critical moments. During one moment, a remote melee unit of Slayers was getting pummeled by Greenskins, but moving Thane close enough to their position allowed the Slayers to become imbued with his special melee buff which boosted their abilities and slaughtered their foes. It's important to remember that each faction always has ways to deal with the opposition, but you'll have to stay on your toes in order to keep one step ahead of the enemy. I was fortunate enough to test out the same map on two separate difficulty modes, Normal and Hard, and each skirmish field will have varying difficulties to spice things up. Hard mode makes your opposition far more aggressive and cunning, which will be a welcome option for those who want their battle knowledge to be put to the test. But of course, the thing that interests Warhammer fans the most are the faction characters. During this skirmish, we were given access to a number of unique classes from the Dwarven faction, with many more yet to be unveiled. Just as you would expect, each unit has its own special strengths and weaknesses, and they're at their best when combining efforts with different classes. From Dwarf Warriors, Longbeards with Great Weapons, Slayers, Iron Drakes (flamethrower units), Quarrelers and Thunderers (both ranged), Siege Weapons, and even Gyrocopters -- the Dwarfs' knowledge of tech and terrain are their greatest asset, and it totally comes out in the combat style and strategies they employ. I was impressed with the rich detail and visuals during the battle. With the awe-inspiring setting, and the detailed characters and animations, I had a lot of fun just watching the action unfold. Just like in previous titles, you can change camera and get much closer to the action with cinematic camera angles and wide-shots of the battlefield. It can't be stated enough at how much of a looker this game is. I spent a good amount of time just staring at the detail of Thorgrim's character model, which showed his throne being carried Dwarf servants. The developers nailed the visual aesthetic, and when Warhammer fans aren't winning battles, they'll be geeking out over the details of the world and its characters in-game. As the members of Creative Assembly stated during our session, Total War: Warhammer still has a ways to go during its development, but it's looking sharp at this point. The action was fluid, and the visuals were very impressive. The high-fantasy setting shines within the Total War brand, and with the core gameplay of the nation building still yet to be seen, more of the Warhammer universe will become unveiled in the coming months. I'm still looking forward to the day they reveal the Vampire faction, which the devs claim are very different from the others, but until then, the Dwarfs have got plenty of firepower and brute force to stand up against whatever comes their way.

Review: Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX
Sep 04
// Kyle MacGregor
Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX (Nintendo 3DS)Developer: SegaPublisher: SegaRelease Date: September 8, 2015MSRP: $39.99 While Miku's looks will never fade with age, she certainly has received a bit of a makeover in her latest outing. In Project Mirai DX, a spin-off of Sega's successful Project DIVA series for Nintendo 3DS, the digital singer and her band of vocaloid pals sport a super deformed chibi aesthetic. Inspired by Nendoroid toys, the characters all feature massive, distended heads and petite frames, reminiscent of toddlers. The new art direction is one I can't say I'm terribly fond of, as it gives rise to some awkward moments where the infantile performers unadvisedly attempt to exude sex appeal. The new look isn't the only notable change to the established formula, though, as the rhythm game portion of the package has seen some revisions. The basic premise is the same, with notes flying in from off-screen, challenging players to keep time with the beat of the music. Players must either press specific buttons or tap the correct portion of the touch screen at certain times, the accuracy of which (in the aggregate) will determine the level of one's success or failure. The touch controls are a new and entirely optional way to play the game. On easy mode, players will tap a single circular area on the portable's lower screen, with each subsequent difficulty level adding another zone to tap on. This initially seems more forgiving than using the buttons, but on normal and hard mode, with multiple areas to worry about, I actually found this was more challenging. Keeping track of the action on the top screen while needing to tap certain sectors below can be quite the feat, particularly in an up-tempo song when the notes are coming in rather quickly. The touch controls can also be rather finicky, though. It's not only easy to tap the wrong portion of the screen, but sometimes the inputs don't seem to register at all. At other times, the game will ask the player to slide the stylus in a particular direction, which can be difficult if you are already pointing at the edge of the surface and are asked to move in a direction where there's no room to go. In contrast with the Project DIVA titles, where notes fly in from every which way to a variety of targets, Project Mirai introduces a single rail system, which I actually found to be a helpful change in most instances. There are times where this can be convoluted, with a crowded rail looping in on itself, or seemingly unfair, where the speed will change at a moments notice and throw off your rhythm, but for the most part it seems to be a better, more straightforward system. Another aspect where Project Mirai is remarkable is the sheer amount of content included in the package. The rhythm game mode vaunts 48 tracks in total, which span all sorts of genres and visual themes with minimal repetition, keeping the experience fresh and varied throughout. There are a lot of secondary aspects of the experience, which didn't necessarily appeal to me, but at the same time don't take anything away from the game. You can play dress-up and house with a selection of characters. There are mini-games and a somewhat limited mode that allows you to design your own compositions. By far my favorite throw-in, though, is PuyoPuyo 39!, a fun little Miku-themed version of Sega's tile-matching puzzle game that even incorporates local competitive play. One thing Project DIVA veterans might not appreciate about Project Mirai is it's a much easier and more lenient experience. On the other hand, some people find those games to be incredibly difficult and have a high barrier for entry. Personally, I was just fine with the challenge on the hard setting, but some rhythm game masters may be left feeling wanting for more in that area. Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX retains the essence of the Project DIVA series, but it's definitely its own unique thing. It may not appeal to all fans of the vocaloid songstress' previous work, and it's certainly my least favorite outing of hers in the realm of games. However, that all said, I still generally enjoyed my time with Project Mirai. Despite its missteps, this is a decent game that has a lot to offer for both rhythm game enthusiasts and Miku devotees alike. [This review is based on a retail build of the game provided by the publisher.]
In many respects, Hatsune Miku symbolizes my interest in Japan. It doesn't matter how much I learn about the virtual pop star or the amazing/bizarre subculture that has taken root around her; it's tough to imagine ever truly ...

I'm considering using WP for the 1st time. I want to be able to post ads on my site. Not on the post pages. But on separate pages by category. I want to know
1)do I need a program for this or can i just paste info (html, plain links) submitted to me by advertisers. I will be working directly with advertisers not using a middleman.
2) I would like for payment to be automatic, for ad'r's to see their stats, and upload their own ads if they choose. Is there a good program that makes this possible?
I'm horribly non-technical but willing to learn. Thanks for any advice.

Excellent product!

Good natural product
posted 7 years ago
In addition to using it to help with hairballs, we also use it on a cat who has licked so spots into his fur. If we can't find the Neosporin right away, we put some vaseline over the spots and that helps minimize the direct licking
Pros: won't harm the animal
Cons: none

I use vaseline to get rid of hair balls. The kitties don't mind licking,and eating it. It really does help them get the hairballs out of their belly's. It also less expensive than some other things you could use.
Pros: Help get naty hair out
Cons: You have to clean up what comes out

About Me
figure out where to go next!
I am a low maintenance nerd girl (or so I've been told). I like to do things the hard way, I think it helps me understand how we got here. I want to know why things are they way they are. I ride a bike when and where I can. I enjoy quiet moments between waves, think of curious sharks and the sounds deep down in the ocean.
Learn as much as you can every day. After that, take care of the earth, and it will take care of you.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I used to host in SF. My flatmate and previous classmate from HMC got me into it (
Tyler is awesome!). I moved to Hawaii with my job, but my housemates weren't too keen on the idea : (
I just got my own place so now I can host! I can give you travel tips for Oahu and reccomend places to see & things to do. I might be free to meet up on a weekend, or Tuesday or Thursday nights, but with job and extra curriculars my time is limited these days.
I helped my flatmate host in SF, but that was all through his account. I finally have my own place and can host here in Honolulu!
Currently it is cycle touring!
Field Hockey! We started a club here, I'd love to take you, we have spare sticks & shin guards.
I body board, hike, yoga, crossfit, road bike, swim, salsa, run and read. Not all at the same time... Ok, maybe a few at a time.
I totally dig corny jokes, the lamer the better.
FOOD! I love great food, authentic food, tasty, tasty homemade dishes.
Music, Movies, and Books
The Economist!, Nineteen Eightyfour, classics, science journals, national geographic, NPR, This American Life, Radio Lab... The Piano, The Incredibles, Napoleon Dynamite, most any nature documentary, The Discovery Channel...
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I rescued a friend from drowning once. Scary! I was at least a liter of beer deep off the coast of Goa, India, the current was taking us out. Then she said, "I can't make it back." Honestly, I think I would have panicked without the beer.
Teach, Learn, Share
Let me know if you are traveling to India. There is some great advice in the introduction of the Lonely Planet: India, but there's some things they missed too : ) If you are around when I make a pie, I can teach you how to master an American classic - or just ask if I have some time : )
Countries I've Visited
Austria, Costa Rica, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Thailand
Countries I've Lived In
Australia, India, Italy, United States

Flower Tucci Videos Favorite
The latest movie featuring Flower Tucci is Tongue My Ass (Rosebud).Born January 2, 1977, Flower Tucci's 36B-28-38 figure first came to people's attention as one of Seymore Butts' Tushy Girls.

At a meeting Monday night, the VVS School Board approved a $32.3 million budget.
Superintendant Norman Reed said his concerned was with the continuance of quality education and programs for students as well as the community's capacity to pay for it.
A spending increase of one percent is proposed, and Reed also added that the board will be reasonable and responsible in their decision to increase the tax levy.
The district will be lessening equipment purchases, and will be purchasing two buses rather than three; saving nearly $100,000.
While some programs will be modified, no programs will be cut, and no there will be no cuts to staff as well.
The next board meeting will take place April 26 at 5 p.m.

|New Amiga dealer - handle with care
An amigaworld.net member pointed out that there's a new presumably British Amiga dealer called amigashop.co.uk. But just a few hours later, there are lots of indications suggesting that one should be very cautious when dealing with this entity:
The only means of contacting the dealer (apart from a HTML form) listed on the website is a mobile phone number, there's no postal address or proper imprint available.
There are AmigaOne motherboards available from the webshop, yet the manufacturer Eyetech states that they never heard about that particular vendor. The domain amigashop.co.uk is owned by pc-x-treme.net, a company that has allegedly cheated PC customers in the past and falsely claimed to be a subsidiary of a reputable hardware manufacturer.

SQL Server Data Access Components (SDAC) is a library of components
that provides native connectivity to SQL Server from Delphi, C++Builder,
Lazarus (and Free Pascal) for Windows (both 32-bit and 64-bit)
and Mac OS X. SDAC-based applications connect to SQL Server directly through OLE
DB, which is a native SQL Server interface. SDAC is designed to help programmers
develop faster and cleaner SQL Server database applications.
SDAC, a high-performance and feature-rich SQL Server connectivity solution, is a
complete replacement for standard SQL Server connectivity solutions and presents
an efficient native alternative to the Borland Database Engine (BDE) and standard
dbExpress driver for access to SQL Server.
SDAC-based DB applications are easy to deploy, do not require installation of other
data provider layers (such as BDE and ODBC), and that's why they can work faster
than the ones based on standard Delphi data connectivity solutions. Moreover, SDAC
provides working with SQL Server not only through OLE DB, but through SQL Native
Client as well.
SDAC supports a wide range of SQL Server specific features, such as Transparent
Application Failover, Notification, Queing and reliable messaging, SQL Server Compact
Edition, User-defined Types (including HierarchyID, Geography, Geometry), Table-Valued
Parameters, Filestream, and others.
SDAC is a cross-platform solution for developing applications using various IDEs:
RAD Studio, Delphi, C++Builder, Lazarus (and FPC) on Windows, Mac OS X, iOS and
Android for both x86 and x64 platforms. SDAC also provides support for the FireMonkey
application development platform, which allows you to develop visually spectacular
high-performance desktop and mobile native applications.
We provide various GUI tools that will increase your productivity: dbMonitor allows
monitoring activity of your DB applications, Dataset Manager simplifies DataSet
and DB controls tweaking, and others.
Allows your application to work with SQL Server directly via TCP/IP without involving
SQL Server Client, thus significantly facilitating deployment and configuration
of your applications.
Develompent for iOS and Android mobile devices using SDAC becomes still easier,
as SDAC allows your mobile applications to work with SSQL Server database as simply as
desktop applications do.
SQL Server 2014\2012\2008 R2\ 2008\2005 (including Express edition), SQL Server 2000
(including MSDE), SQL Server 7, SQL Server Compact 4.0\3.5\3.1, SQL Azure

SDAC component suite gave us opportunity to provide our customers with trouble-free
and efficient database access in our software solutions. Since we began using Devart
DAC components, our development time shortened drastically, since we can focus on
the application instead of data access. Some clever solutions, like macro parameters,
gave us widened programming options which help us satisfy our customers more efficiently.
Devart's devotion to keep up with database server developers warrants us security
and helps us stay in business.
We do actually use SDAC, MyDAC, IBDAC and ODAC, in some of our software solutions
we use even more than two of them at the same time. I personally think that Devart's
DAC libraries for Delphi were our best buy, and helped us a lot in database applications
Mr. Davor Tavcar, head of Development department, Storitve Tavcar in partnerji d.n.o.
We have developed an ERP system for a wet glue label printer company. The 280 users
are using the application in a 7*24 hour production. With SDAC we have implemented
fast performing client applications, production systems which are easy to install
and maintain. Since The software is over 2 million lines of code the use of the
right dataset componentset is critical. We think using Devart SDAC is for us the
best choice, because no additional drivers need to be installed, it performs well
even on the older machines and the quality is excellent.

Genealogy and Family History Success: How MyHeritage made it happen for us!
This guest post was written by expert genealogist Scott Phillips, owner of Onward to Our Past genealogy services, and specializing in immigrant ancestry. He is a regular genealogy contributor for Huffington Post and also blogs weekly for the e-publications of GenealogyBank.com. Follow Scott on his Facebook page and on his website/blog.
Not all that long ago (in genealogy time) my wife and I received the wonderful news that our son and his wife were expecting our second grandson and would be named William in honor of my dad, who had died a year previously.
I began thinking how well I knew my dad and how well our son knew his grandfather, but his namesake would not personally know him at all. Since no one in our family had ever done any family history research, I made the fateful decision to write a paragraph or two about my father so my grandson would know him.
Now, years later, I still find myself laughing when I think back to my desire to write "a paragraph or two"! Our family tree now includes over 11,100 individuals representing 3,685 families, and contains over 6,900 images and documents.
The family tree was not always this robust. However, thanks to MyHeritage, it is now – and it keeps on growing. Continue reading "Genealogy and Family History Success: How MyHeritage made it happen for us!" »

It seems so long ago that the Dallas Mavericks took down the Miami Heat and claimed their role as NBA champions. Since then it has all been down hill. Their record last season was only good enough for the seventh seed in the Western Conference and they did not last long in the playoffs, getting swept out by Oklahoma City. This year it is going to take a miracle turnaround for the Mavs to make the playoffs, sitting at the 11th seed in the West, eight games below .500. They have fallen so far, so fast. One big issue you can easily pinpoint for the Mavs is the amount of money they are paying to aging, veteran players. As the trade deadline nears, reports are saying that Dallas may try to drop a few of these contracts. Keep an eye on Dallas, as rival executives believe the Mavericks will look to unload some of their older money if they keep losing (aka Shawn Marion, who is owed $9.3 million in the last year of his deal in 2013-14, or Vince Carter, who is owed $3.1 million in th...

i don't get the hype. this product kind of sucks. it doesn't really clean my face that well. after i use it, i always have to use astringent afterwards and there is always so much make up, dirt, and oil on the cotton ball that my face wash should have cleaned off. it doesn't break me out or dry out my skin. still won't repurchase.

This product was recommended to me by a family member and I LOVE it! I will never use another face wash.. its so gentle, yet does its job completely. I had a nasty pimple pop up on my face Friday and by Sunday morning it is almost completely gone! Very impressive imo. I have very finicky skin and a lot of cleansers burn my skin when I use them.. this does not. It does dry out your skin a little bit, but throw on some moisturizer after using it and you're good to go!

This cleanser helped me maintain clear skin and kept breakouts at a minimum. It doesn't remove eye makeup very well unless you really go at it (I don't think it's a good idea, it stings when it gets in your eyes) and it did dry out my skin a little. However, it's good for the price and I use this cleanser most of the time before I went to sleep anyway because I knew I would wake up the next morning with no new pimples. Also like the smell of it if that counts for anything- overall, I recommend it because it makes your face feel clean. If it dries your skin out, use a moisturizer over it.

I have been using this cleanser for years. I have sensitive, reactive skin. Cetaphil is very gentle and pleasant to use. I cleanse twice a day. In the morning, I use the Cetaphil lotion cleanser and in the evening I use the Cetaphil cleansing bar. I save a lot of money using the bar formula of this cleanser.

I have very oily, cystic acne prone and sensitive skin to the point where anything even remotely harsh breaks out my face and gives me a rash. Same with my body. I use this facial cleanser in the morning with my Clarisonic and remove it with my Simple Micellar Water and together they work to gently cleanse my face and take off any acne medication I'm using that night without irritating my skin. Definitly a staple now and I use the gentle cleansing bar in the shower for my body and the whole Cetaphil line is just amazing for my sensitive skin in general.

This cleanser is so mild it barely gets the dirt off your face. I washed my face with this then followed up with my toner and there was so much dirt on the cotton pad, more than I had ever experienced from any other cleanser. I won't try Cetaphil again.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other

This product is amazing. My skin is very sensitive and I have tried everything to get it to look healthier and have an even skin tone. Most products I've tried in the past made me break out and have really oily skin. This resulted in scarring and terrible looking skin. I have been using a combination of the Cetaphil daily facial cleanser & moisturizer and my skin looks AMAZING! The scarring has reduced and is barely noticeable anymore, my skin tone is even, and it has never made me break out.

I am in love with this stuff. I suffer from eczema flare ups occasionally especially when Im stressed or seasons change. I was about to make a doctor apt with my dermatologist then I searched eczema prone cleansers and this appeared. Before I tried this I had fine small red rash around my nose. I used this cleaners every morning and within maybe a week the bumps had disappeared and the redness had decreased. I was extremely happy I didn't have to spend a fortune on a doctor apt to make my redness disappear. Now this stuff doesn't foam up a lot but I have learned with sensitive skin less foam is better. It does have a slight fragrance but it doesn't bother me at all. For the price of this cleaners and the fact it does what it claims to do. I am more than pleased and plan to repurchase.

I started using this product to help my skin recover from a dry and itchy rash caused by another brand's acne cleanser. This cleanser is very gentle and in conjunction with Cetaphil's moisturising lotion helped clear the rash and made my skin softer than it was before I got the rash. I have found it has also helped even my complexion, I have mild rosacea on my cheeks and it has kept this quite calm. Even though the rash has cleared I will continue using this product.
I don't have acne as such but I do constantly have a few blemishes on my face at any given time. I have noticed a very slight reduction in blemishes since using Cetaphil (been using for about 2-3 weeks now) but mostly I have found that they heal faster.
I cleanse once in the morning and feel like I have a fresh clean face. In the evening I cleanse twice just to ensure I have removed all my makeup. It slightly lathers and has a distinct scent, does not bother me but may if you are very sensitive to smell.

I am about to head down to Tolar, TX, today for a Yosten family reunion. Happy Labor Day Weekend to all of you out there. I may have to work a little bit tomorrow, so it's mostly a regular weekend for me. I wish I had some life updates to give you, but there's not much new in my life. I'm just staying very busy and am trying to keep my sanity, although I'm not sure why. Thanks for visiting this site - please come visit me in person when you get a chance!

So I noticed that I've said "life is tame" in both of my last two posts. I did that without even reading the older post, so that is kinda weird, I think. I suppose we like tame things...

My life has been pretty tame lately, I guess. I just got back from a quick trip to Utah to be with Felicia during the loss of her husband. Work has been pretty slow for a month or so, but I'm not complaining - yet. I need to make more money, but I've made the step of asking for massage therapy equipment for Christmas/birthday this year, and hopefully I'll be brave enough to start taking a few clients. I'm not sure where I'll be able to do it or even how I will find the time, but I do know that it could be a very nice change of pace for me. I'm feeling a little more confident about making it work now that I've lost 65 lbs. in the last year-and-a-half. Yup, the Weight Watcher-ing is definitely paying off, as you can see:
I still have a long way to go - I'm just past the halfway point (my personal goal is 175, but my WW goal is 164) - but I'm feeling fairly confident that I will keep making progress. You know, part of the WW plan includes exercise, and doing the massage thing will be an excellent way to get more active, too! So that's where things stand for me. I hope all is well with you. If you need/want to see a massage therapist after New Years, just let me know! Hmm...maybe I should start selling gift cards now. There's a thought!!

So things around here are fairly calm. We're supposed to sort of be getting a new horse on Saturday. She's an Arabian/Saddlebred named "Sweet Seduction" a/k/a "Tootsie". I haven't even seen her yet, and we're just gonna get her 'cause she's free and 'cause mom can't say "no". So that should make for an interesting weekend. This morning I hafta take "Scraggle Cat" in to be fixed. This is my "Scraggle Cat".

Success of IUI
My husband and I have been trying to concieve for 2 years now. About a year ago, we consistently started using the ovulation testing and have gotten a positive ovulation every time and therefore have followed through with our attempts. Still to no avail. A week ago, we had the Artificial Insemination (IUI) procedure done. It was simple and easy...almost too easy. I have not found clear statistics on the success rate, probably because it depends so much on a case by case basis. As for my husband and I, we have had several (probably all) of the fertiility tests done and we both seem to be in great shape all around. I'm looking for feedback from those that have also had the procedure done. I'm aware that it may not happen the first time, but I'm looking to see how many tries it took for others as well as if there are many people who have found no success with it at all. I'm just a week from finding out, but I can't seem to wait. THANKS!

My husband and I have been ttc for over 2 years now. I am 26 years old and my husband is going to be 29 years old. We have a 4 year old son and it took up a few yrs of trying before I got pregnant with him on our own with no help. Both my husband and I check out good except I have PCOS. Ive been doing opt and ovulate every time. I also had an HSG done aug 8. I just tried my first round of clomid and iui. I'm hoping it worked for us. It's been 9 dpiui and I'm getting impatient. I want to see if I'm pregnant already. I also had my progesterone level checked on cd 21 and it was 10.60. Does anyone know if this is good? Good luck to everyone ttc.posted 10/03/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
When starting our fertility treatments doctors confirmed that there was no biological problems for both my husband and me, except time , were both 40. I was shocked, my first IVF cycle was pulled, after the most aggressive treatment (antagonist protocol), my body had NO reaction to the meds, one follicle matured. My dr switched to IUI, and stated that the odds were approximately 5%, not any better than regular intercourse. However, I am 5.4 weeks pregnant! First round, against the odds - so don't give up! Some of the things I did in order of importance: modify my thyroid medication (can affect conception and miscarriage), started accupuncture!! asap, went strictly organic (important is dairy and meat also veggies), besides the regular vitamins and folic acid, I took 600mg of Q10 (by dr, ) and Royal jelly and bee pollen found in health food stores. Sounds crazy, but when they start talking about donor eggs, I opened up my mind to to everything, even meditation for stress!posted 11/21/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
My husband and I have been trying for about a year now. They checked his sperm counts and they were fine. I decided to go to a RE (Reproductive Endocrinologist) after about 6 months and am so glad I did. They did an HSG (the dye test) and blood work and decided to put me on clomid. Some women have bad side effects, but I have been fine on it. They do about 3 ultrasounds a month to check my follicle growth and then they tell me when to trigger with ovidrel based on the results of my blood work. I inject 36 hours before the IUI. I had success with my second round of this treatment plan, but unfortunately miscarried. I'm now on my second round of IUI after the miscarriage and am hoping for another success story. The poking and prodding I can handle, it's the 2 week wait that is the worst. Also, I use earlypregnancytests.com for testing early. They're great tests and cheap!! When I was pregnant I found out 4 days before my missed period. Good luck to everyone!posted 03/17/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

I am 35 and my husband and I have been trying for a 2nd child for just over a year now. We do have one little girl who will be three years old next week. (She is such a blessing and we are so thankful to have her :) I was diagnosed with a luteal phase defect years ago when we started ttc (29 1/2). I have been pregnant twice without any assistance except progesterone (prometrium), but each time took 9 mos. - 1 yr. to conceive. We are now trying iui and clomid. My doctor said that is the "cure" for a luteal phase defect. We just discovered that our first try at clomid and iui at it did not work (my response seemed well, 50 mg of clomid, 2 very mature follicles, good progesterone on day 21). Anyone else out there going through something similar? Thanks in advance for sharing. I wish all of you ladies success. All of our journies are different, but we all are hoping for the same blessing in the end.posted 03/30/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I just had my second round of IUI two days ago. Hubby and I have also been trying for a while with no luck. He and I both had all kinds of fertility tests and we are both healthy. We turned to IUI to see if we can speed things up. First time didn't work - a lot of stressful stuff was going on and I am not surprised. Now we are in our two week wait to see if it stuck this time, which I hope it did! Our doctor told us if IUI is going to work, it usually does in 3-4 tries. After that they recommend IVF. I wish I knew the percentage of people IUI works for on the first rty, and second try, thir try, etc. Good luck!posted 01/11/2008 by czak1204
It was on our 5th IUI (and first with clomid) that we conceived. I was almost 33 and my husband had banked frozen sperm when he was turning 35. We got a boy.

After going through 3 failed IVF cycles and several IUI's without any results, I had started my journey at the age of 37 as I couldn't accept the fact that I wouldn't have any children of my own. By sheer accident I found this book in May of 2012, I implemented most of these guidelines exactly as instructed in the book and found myself holding a positive home pregnancy test in less than 5 weeks! After over seven years of trying to conceive and thousands of dollars spent on infertility treatments, I had actually succeeded to get pregnant the natural way without any drugs or medical intervention all because of a book that costs less than $50!

Answer this question


text:
"Juan Miguel was never completely alone," says Pedro Porro. "He never smiled. His eyes kept shifting back and forth. It was obvious to me that he was under heavy coercion. He was always surrounded by security agents from the Cuba Interest Section (i.e. Cuban embassy) in Washington D.C. When these agents left him alone for a few seconds, attorney Gregory Craig would hover over Juan Miguel.
"The questions Dan Rather was asking Elian's father during that 60 Minutes interview were being handed to him by attorney Gregory Craig," continues Pedro Porro. "It was obvious that Craig and Rather where on very friendly terms. They were joshing and bantering back and forth, as Juan Miguel sat there petrified. Craig was stage managing the whole thing - almost like a movie director. The taping would stop and he'd walk over to Dan, hand him a little slip of paper, say something into his ear. Then Rather would read the next question into my earpiece straight from the paper."
A reminder: officially (Bill Clinton and Dan Rather crony) Gregory Craig then served as attorney for Elian's father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, who worked as a hotel doorman in a nation where the average monthly salary is $16. The high-rolling Gregory Craig worked for Washington D.C.'s elite firm, Williams & Connolly, one of America's highest-priced law firms.
Upon accepting the case at the Clinton administrations' behest, Gregory Craig had flown to Cuba for a meeting with Fidel Castro. Craig's remuneration, we learned shortly after his return, came from a "voluntary fund" set up by the United Methodist Board of Church and Society and "administered" by the National Council of Churches. The same reporters and pundits, who routinely erupted with snide snorts midway through any statement by a Republican press secretary, reported this item with a straight face.
Gregory Craig had led the Juan Miguel/Cuban-Security entourage into the studio, then presided over the interview as a movie director. "At one point Craig stopped the taping almost like a movie director yelling, 'Cut!' I was confused for a moment, says Porro, "until Greg Craig complained that Juan Miguel's answers were not coming across from his translator with "sufficient emotion." "So Dan Rather shut everything down for a while and some of the crew drove to a drama school in New York. They hired a dramatic actor to act as a translator, and brought him back!"
Okay roll 'em!
"I probably should have walked out," says Porro. "But I'd been hired by CBS in good faith and I didn't know exactly how the interview would be edited -- how it would come across on the screen. I mighta known, but you never know these things play out until you actually see it."
"Midway through watching that 60 minutes broadcast, I felt like throwing up," said Porro. "My stomach was in a knot." His worst fears were confirmed.
Lara Logan and her 60 minutes crew got snookered by a defense-contractor con-man. They were negligent and admit it. Dan Rather and crew volunteered to help a Stalinist con-man (Fidel Castro) stage a massive farce--a veritable show-trial complete with bogus confessions and coerced testimony. They knowingly snookered the American public.
Worse, most Americans fell for the farce. In their innocence (of Communist tactics) most Americans saw the Elian tragedy as a simple custody dispute, as happen hourly in places like Omaha, Atlanta and Peoria. That's exactly what Castro, Craig and Rather wanted, expected and got.
Worse still, unlike Lara Logan, Dan Rather and crew never came clean, never admitted guilt as secret police and propaganda assets for the kidnapping of a six year old on behalf of a Stalinist Tyrant.
So who's the major fraud? Logan or Rather?

Every day, come rain or shine or internet tubes breaking, Film School Rejects showcases a trailer from the past.
Today's trailer is a simple gardener who gets mistaken for so much more. Maybe it's true: All you have to be is white in America to get everything.
Peter Sellers crushes every single scene he's in without batting an eye or letting a smile slip. Of course, it helps that he can walk on water.
Life is a state of mind.

In our modern age, many suffer from physical, mental and emotional illness as a result of the kind of life we are living. While some of these illnesses can be treated with medical intervention, some need more than that. And that is when people start to find alternative healing. One of them is Reiki.
Reiki is a form of energy healing that seeks to transmit the Universal Life Energy to a person. It is a simple, safe and natural treatment method that is also associated to self-improvement and spiritual healing. Anybody can try Reiki. It can be effective in treating any known illnesses and it can also work in conjunction with other therapeutic or medical techniques to relieve symptom and promote fast recovery.
The term Reiki is from a Japanese words "rei" which means universal and "ki" which means essential life force energy that naturally flows in all living things. This life force energy is believed to be spiritual in nature and is limitless. It also stands on its own and is not connected with any specific nationality or religion.
There are many versions as to the origin of Reiki. According to the popular version, Dr. Mikao Usui who was a Japanese spiritual truth seeker introduced the Reiki method in 1922 after achieving a deep spiritual experience. After that time, he began teaching others about this method as he felt that there was a need to spread the knowledge. While it is spiritual in nature, Reiki recognizes no religion. It also has no dogma. A person is not required to believe in something to learn or use it.
How Reiki Works
Reiki is normally done by a practitioner who is considered as a conduit between the universal life force energy source and you. The energy from the universal source is believed to flow through the energy field of the practitioner, into his or her hands and then to you. While the usual practice is done by the laying on of hands, it can also be done by long distance or when the patient is not around, as a form of prayer. Since the energy source is universal, a person practicing Reiki will not be drained in energy regardless of how many sessions he or she does in a day.
The energy may be felt as a tingling sensation, heat or pulsing feeling whenever the practitioner places his hands in a particular part of your body. Some people may also feel these different sensations moving through the body as the Reiki session is going on, while others may not feel anything at all. But the entire session can be very relaxing and peaceful. Many clients normally fall asleep while undergoing Reiki.
Benefits of Reiki
It is said that when a person's life force energy is low, it will cause sickness and stress. On the other hand, if the life force energy is high, it will result to health and happiness.
Reiki method is one way to get your life force energy high with main benefits that include deep relaxation, speedy healing, reducing pain and decreasing other symptoms a patient may be experiencing. It also promotes security, peace and wellbeing. It is a form of treatment that heals a person in the physical, emotional and spiritual sense.
Who is Qualified to Practice Reiki
Reiki is not dependent on a person's spiritual development or intellectual ability, and therefore, anybody can learn it. Many people of all ages from various backgrounds are already practicing this method. However, there is no government regulation as to its practice in most places, so it is the responsibility of the patient to investigate first if a practitioner is really qualified to perform Reiki.
