Do You Invert The Y-Axis?
Gamers who invert the y-axis on camera controls are technically the minority, but not an insignificant one. I've seen it said that it's maybe between 1 in 4 or 1 in 3 who play inverted.
I'm one of those people who was really thrown off by the game's lack of proper inverted controls (it's either "normal," or *both* axis are inverted, which is even worse). Personally, I blame Goldeneye for this. And maybe StarFox (I needed to quickly change to inverted every time I was required to pilot the Beluga, because I just couldn't do it otherwise). In discussions I've noticed that its typically older gamers who invert more often, because of games like those, but what can you do.
I'm curious how many other people here playing BG&E similarly struggled the way I did with the game, so I figured why not start a poll? And out of curiosity, I'm going to include additional options to try and get a sense of the generational thing as well (since what era have you been gaming?).
P.S.: I did just 100% the game, btw. But I had to try my hardest to avoid adjusting the camera up or down. The way camera is handled during the whole Slaughterhouse chapter was particularly tough.
P.P.S.: Anyone who posts just to say people who play inverted should "stop whining" are not contributing anything useful to the discussion.
I honestly don't see what the fuss is all about.
Is it really that difficult to just get used to the camera after a couple of goes with it? I don't say this in a mean spirited way mind, but out of somewhat curiosity as I'll often end up changing between games with similar and yet different control schemes, but give me a minute or two to remember the layout, I'll have adapted to it again.
I just don't see how 30 or 40 pictures into the game, people are still struggling to handle an up and down motion. Sorry. =/
I invert to the point of having my Y-axis inverted by default on my Xbox game default settings. The only problem with that is that when a game still doesn't control as I expect, I don't know if it's ignoring my setting, or naturally aligned to my tendency.
I've been gaming for a thousand years, so it may be an age thing.
I always have my console games Y axis inverted and as per the OP, I do believe it was the N64 that started it all. As soon as I read what was said about Goldeneye and Lylat Wars, I started to recall my first times playing them and having trouble getting acquainted with it- but now? Now I just find 'normal' to be just 'bleurghhh' lol!
I'm not a regular PC gamer, but when I do play I have to have my mouse set to normal though. I can't get my head around how that works, but inverted feels just as odd on a mouse.
As far as the X axis goes, I can only deal with it when it's the reverse of however it's set by default in BG&E. I got through the game, just like I did the first time around- it just would have enhanced the experience that little bit more if the camera control had felt 'right'.
I always invert, so this game is really messing with my head, because if you invert the Y it also inverts the x. No one I've met ever inverts x and y, just y.
So I'm left trying to work out if having no invert or having an extra axis inverted is better for me. I figure you turn left and right more than you look up and down, so I'm going for the non-invert. I still keep looking down when I want to look up though.
And for those who don't use invert, getting used to not using it isn't like just playing with a different layout. It's ingrained into my brain, and I can't just flick a switch.
Right, it's different with control layouts, because almost every game has a slightly different control layout...there's no "default" set of controls that the majority of games all use, but in the early days of 3D and FPS, inverted was default (in fact, in some early games what is now considered "normal" y-axis was labeled "inverted"). And it's difficult to just unlearn the way you've been playing games for the last 15 years (or more).
I've always played inverted. It's not like a control layout switch as simple b does something different but more like a muscle memory. To understand play a shooter a lot and then switch to inverted. Maybe it's just years of playing but in my experience whenever my friends take the controls they get all confused as they are used to using the now normal control scheme.
I've played inverted for as long as I can remember and I bought BG&E when it first came out for my PS2. I must have completely forgotten about the camera 'issues' because when I re-bought the HD version I was completely thrown off by the inverted option! I've personally found it's not a big problem until it comes to combat, THEN it's a problem.
Also has anyone tried playing that pearl game Mdisk you get for collecting all pearls? Jesus, try playing that with inverted controls!
And shit, is that the reason Yo! Pearl is so hard? May give it another try with "normal" controls then.
Found everything easy enough using normal controls..
I need things inverted. Iono why, just do. I find it difficult if i have to compensate for normal controls as it takes extra time. No way I could play a shooter where it requires twitchy movement but something like this I can make do. I played this the first time around and managed it. I sposse I'll have to do it again. Its a damn fine game and wholly worth the extra effort involved.
We need a support group ;)
X-axis can vary from game to game, but most part, the X-axis stays normal.
I hate to play with inverted axis! But with Beluga it works pretty well! :D (Cuz inversion+inversion=no inversion!)
I won't purchase the game until they patch this. I absolutely need the Y axis inverted, that is non negotiable. I'm sure I could take some time and get used to the inverted X axis as well (Final Fantasy XII played that way, and it's my second favorite game of all time, along with a bunch of other PS2 and GameCube games that I played with an inverted X axis) but why should I have to. I have plenty of other games to play that I don't have to work to enjoy. This would be such a simple thing for them to patch in.
For this game i set everything on normal. But on most games I do set it on inverted.
Always normal.
What 8 bit games let you invert axis?
I play many types of games at once and often find I'm pushing, pressing, squeezing something wrong based on the game played previously, but I adapt. Doesn't really bother me much.
The second part of the question is how long you've been gaming, not how long you've been inverting.
Been inverting ever since I spent the better part of 4 years of my life playing the X-Wing/TIE Fighter series on PC. At least that's my theory...flight sims hardwired my brain for the Y-axis inversion. I haven't worked my theory out enough to figure how or why it would carry over to console F/TPS's though.
But yeah...I ended up having to invert everything for this game which then completely screwed me up for the first 10 minutes or so of Dead Space 2. Was running left into walls when I wanted to go right around a corner. And god forbid there was a door...I probably couldn't have gotten through it on the first attempt if it was 30 feet wide. It was a complete mess but it was worth it to play through BG&E again.
You learn to do something a particular way and your brain physically changes to learn that way. For many of us, that change has been ingrained for so long it would be like asking somebody who's right handed to start using their left hand instead. Sure they can write left handed, but it's not going to be pretty without a bit of practice. Same with inverted people.
Great to see most real gamers invert there controls. All my friends play non inverted and I just don't see how they do it. It just seems unnatural to me.
I have never inverted my controls. Andi dont why people would. Why push up to look down and left to look right? Unless its a flight sim, thats just pain retarded...lol
I always invert too, so I'm struggling with the controls on this game... :(
Holy crap, when I first started flying the ship. I had so much trouble, LOL I had to kill that thing also. So it was all weird.
I can play either way, but if possible I always switch the Y-Axis to inverted (and all third-person games I invert the X-Axis as well.)
I'm only 21, but I started gaming back on the Atari 2600. Didn't start inverting until 2003 though. I played default Halo: CE for 2 years, but one day at a party I was stuck on a profile that was inverted and didn't have a chance to change it. After that, I've been an invert gamer ever sine.
I only really invert for flying games/levels. I used to invert for the Halo franchise and timesplitters but one day my brain decided I couldn't do it any more!
Funny to see more people who're struggling with the controls for this game. I played this game on gamecube before, and don't remember it being a problem back then, but then again, I don't remember inverting the y-axis either. I don't know when I started doing that, or what game I played that engrained this into my brain. But it is now, and not being able to have the x-axis on normal while y is inverted turned fun into frustration for at least the first hour of this game, and frankly made me set it aside for a while to get to playing a game which controls aren't in the way for me. Which is a shame, because this is a great game.
http://gamepeople.wordpress.com/2006/11/07/down-is-up/ sums it up nice, I think. It's just what's more intuitive for you. I have yet to get this, but i'm tempted for the cyber monday sale... yet the controls in the demo were extremely off-putting. And unlike Silent Hill Homecoming, I'm not in love enough with the design/genre enough to just put up with it.

A hornworm loves tomatoes as much as I do...but I know how to stop him dead in his tracks! http://www.walterreeves.com/gardening-q-and-a...
I noticed leaves missing from my tomato plants and some droppings on the leaves. What could it be?
Thanks Walter, I really don't want to open another discussion about how did the wasp larvae get under the skin of the caterpillar... but thanks for answering my question.
Hornworm caterpillars are not pretty to look at but they will become sphinx or "hummingbird" moths at adult stages that are interesting to look at them at night time. I enjoyed watching them among the flowers at night time in the past but not much lately.
And Hummingbird moths, when you first see them, do look like a Hummingbird at first glance. I like watching them.

And Dickey's millions of fans will be happy to see the reappearance of a femme fatale from Thieves' Paradise, who adds spice and surprises every time she turns up.
©2004 Eric Jerome Dickey; (P)2004 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"Drive Me Crazy (Unabridged)"
This audio was very suspenseful and unlike other of Dickey's books, it had a story line with good sensuality in it and not sex as the basic story.
"I really enjoyed this book"
This was my first audiobook and have to say that I really enjoyed the story and the narrator did an excellent job...
"Great Book!"
I would definitely recommend it. The author as always does great job bringing the characters to life. The narrative was excellent.
"Great book"
I have not had the chance to read the book yet. The reason I got into audio books is because I cant stop and read but I can listen and work.
I am not sure that I could compare this to any other book. This book shows how truly crazy some ppl can be when love does not go their way.
All where great.
It keep me interested all threw the book.
"Okay, nothing to brag about"
This book is okay. I did not enjoy it like I thought I would. I don't think it is a must read. I found it quite boring and did not look forward to picking it back up in between reading.

Simple, solid -- beats online backup
This review is from: ioSafe Solo 1.5TB USB 2.0 3.5" Disaster Proof External Hard Drive with 1 year Disaster Recovery Service SL1500GBUSB20
Pros: Super-simple to set up. It's an external USB hard drive! Works fine with Windows Server 2003 R2 32 bit. And it really does look like it would survive a natural disaster.
Cons: Haven't come across any negatives yet.
Other Thoughts: Works perfectly as a Symantec BackupExec Backup to Disk folder. We then duplicate to tape.

Great peace of mind!
This review is from: ioSafe Solo 1.5TB USB 2.0 3.5" Disaster Proof External Hard Drive with 1 year Disaster Recovery Service SL1500GBUSB20
Pros: This unit seems to be built like a tank! It's fairly heavy so it won't accidentally get knocked off the desk. The fire and flood ratings are incredible. It's fast, built with a Seagate drive, not some cheap knock-off, and is simple; plug and play. Once I plugged it in to power and usb, I backed up my computer to it and am transferring important files to it every time I need to.
Cons: I would like to see an automatic backup utility bundled with this drive.
Other Thoughts: For the cost of this drive compared to a standard drive, it's worth the peace of mind. I bought this after my other external drive's head crashed. Now I have to pay for the data recovery (upwards of $2500!) whereas that service is part of the warranty for the ioSafe. I don't think I'll purchase any other drive than an ioSafe from now on!

A group of people in Meridian is trying to tackle the problem of underage drinking.
It's apparently a major issue in Lauderdale County, which has the third highest rate of underage DUIs in Mississippi.
The Smarter Choices Community Coalition is kicking off a campaign to try to lower those numbers.
Judge Vel Young, who heads the Lauderdale County alcohol and drug court, spoke at the event, saying it's not enough to simply take the keys away from an underage driver who has been drinking. She says supplying them with alcohol must also stop.

Tasker turns off crap like that when/where I wish. My phone annoys me maybe once every few months.
The call center at my old place of employment had a chair graveyard; 15-20 broken chairs sitting on the side of the building. Some of the ladies that worked there are close to 400 lbs.
Junk food is the new heroin. One of my in laws just went on diabetes meds and her attitude is they will enable her to eat junk food again. Its really an epidemic and I can blame people who fall victim to it. It was hard enough for me to drop 20 lbs, I can't imagine having to lose over 100.
Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.

And frankly, the idea that fat people don't deserve to be comfortable is really insidious and widespread and, if you think about it, pretty despicable. What exactly does refusing to let someone have a comfortable chair at work accomplish?
The Honest Bicycle Program - Heady talk about bikes, bike racing, bike racers and bike riding. standarddouble.com/whbp
Some of you know I porked up over the summer as a result of some meds my doctors put me on. I cracked the scales at 219 in July, which was unbelievably scary to me. Between my day job and my night job teaching commitments, I didn't really have much free time to do much about it until the beginning of November, but since then I've dropped 12 pounds and am on my way back towards being healthy.
The one thing I've found is that I'm unable to lose weight if I can't get plenty of sleep. This past semester I spent two 15 hour days back to back on campus every week due to my part-time teaching commitment, and those two days ruined my sleep enough that no amount of dieting could help me lose weight. However, the weight has been coming off very quickly since the classes ended on November 13th.
The leptin / insulin resistance / cortisol response feedback mechanism in our bodies is interesting. Unfortunately, some people fall into a trap and can't break out of it, then you couple the diet industry trying to serve their own best interests and well....

"if you ride it the way it's meant to be ridden there's no way any wife is less of a ***** than a bicycle." - gstein
Do you think we're gonna make it? / I don't know unless we try \ you could sit here scared to move / or we could take them by surprise
History has shown that I suffer from an inverted U profile with regards to success with weight loss, exercise intensity and duration. This probably goes back to all of the hormonal interactions that a high training load causes me, in addition to my normal elevated stress levels.
So instead of riding a lot, I am aiming for the left upward slope of the curve until this gets fixed, which for me equates to between five and six hours a week. I have it broken down as six aerobic workouts a week, and two weight training days. I am running for my cardio four of those days (45-70 minutes) and doing very easy spins of no more than 90 minutes (usually closer to 75) the other two days. My weight training is done as 3 sets of a circuit with minimal rest, then I finish that with a run. You're welcome to join me at GHFC this Wednesday at 6:30 AM for a weight workout followed up by a 7 mile run .
As for the medical stuff, let's just say the combination of riding fifteen hours a week, teaching a semester long class, and running the IT shop for the largest college in our u. made me a little tired, and then getting the flu mid-term plus a certain unfunded mandate that caused me some stress in April really screwed my body up. My GP prescribed some bad juju that made it worse. If you want the full details to clear up anything in the rumor mill, send me an email.
But the weight loss has been running about 2 pounds a week, so I figure I will be fighting this battle until sometime in March to get back to my racing weight. It didn't come on over night, it won't go off overnight. I probably won't switch to riding as my primary cardio until I am close to that weight, and I won't ramp up the hours for quite awhile.. But I should still be able to be on a few of the hipp rides after the time change, and the running shoes will be easier to pack when I fly to St. Thomas next week.

1) it was published in april 2011, so it seems not so uncommon for these doping guys to get tested but have a long lag before it is announced to the public.

Giants Football: Safe for Grownups
Let's hear it for the Giants—New York's last undefeated football team.
Maybe you're just tuning in to Big Blue. It's forgivable. The Giants didn't rate on the city's radar this season. They didn't do ''Hard Knocks.'' They don't blog for GQ. They don't have a head coach who attends cage-fighting matches and cusses like Louis CK.
The Giants are like UPS, boat insurance or the actor Tom Wilkinson. They're not sexy. They're just reliably there. They seldom attract the stylish, the crazy or the bandwagoners.
They don't have to. The Giants have more than 85 years of history and three Super Bowls. They've been playing this hotel piano for a long time. The Giants don't come to you. You come to the Giants.
But the Giants got avalanched this summer by their rowdy Meadowlands roommates. Magic Khakis and his Green Men swaggered into 2010 and inhaled the media. Rex Ryan was appointed the most charismatic man in the universe. Smelling the fumes of a surprise playoff season, he boasted of a Super Bowl.
It was like gladiator boots, the Summer of the Jets. No one really understands why it happened or became cool. It sure felt funny and looked weird. Years from now, we may wonder what we were thinking.
The Giants offered no such glamour. Their head coach, Tom Coughlin, is a serious, stern-eyed man who thinks charisma is a topping at Cold Stone Creamery. (Not that he'd ever go to Cold Stone Creamery—too much fun, and that infernal singing). His team started 2009 5-0 and then lost eight out of their next 11., finishing 8-8.
No one is expecting perfection from the Giants this year. Only unhinged optimists picked them for the Super Bowl. But suddenly, the Giants are looking like a calm alternative.
Mr. Ryan's Jets had a rough first week. They were manhandled at home by the Baltimore Ravens in a 10-9 loss. They're facing troubling allegations of harassment of a female reporter. It's a brutal switch, in classic New York style. What looked very fun on HBO in August is suddenly looking troubling and passe. The attraction is now a distraction.
The Giants, meanwhile, won their opener against Carolina, 31-18. Then Dallas went out and fell to Washington, and Philadelphia's starting quarterback got knocked out in a loss. It's silly to say this in week two, but the Giants' division looks wildly open.
Not that this season will be a cakewalk. Tight end Kevin Boss is out of next Sunday's game with a concussion. Running back Brandon Jacobs remains sulky about his place on the team. Eli Manning can be a mystery. And it's not like the Giants have been immune from trouble. One of their best players in recent memory, former wide receiver Plaxico Burress, is still in prison on a gun conviction.
But the Giants have an opportunity, here. On Sunday the Jets face a home game against New England that could dig them an 0-2 hole. The Giants, meanwhile, have a feel-good Sunday nighter as Eli Manning plays his brother Peyton in Indianapolis.
Indy won't be easy, but throw some attention at those Giants. They might not be edgy, but it's like moving to the suburbs, or Brooklyn.
You can hate and fight it, but almost everyone eventually does it. And you know what? It's not so bad.

While it's all well and good to share the wealth with other communities like Smogon, one thing I've noticed is that while they've been quick to jump on updating the tier listings, the set analyses are slower in coming. (A modest example: Excadrill got the boot to Uber recently, but its sets are still listed for OU effectiveness.)
Let's treat their resources as just that: Resources. As much as they might want us to think that their word is final, in the end what works for them might not be the best option for us, or even an effective option. If Smogon teaches university-level courses, more casual sites like this one might be better suited with a high school education, if you get my drift.

Node Power Outlet Allows Users to Plug In At Every Angle
DIY Inspiration: Industrial Electrical Conduit Wall Lighting
Raw loft spaces often showcase what can either be considered an eyesore or an integral charming detail of living within an industrial space: exposed electrical conduits and electrical boxes.
Hiding in Plain Sight: Trompe L'Oeil Electrical Outlet Covers
I say, "the more, the merrier" when it comes to outlets in the kitchen. Whipping up a serious Sunday dinner is made a bit easier when you can plug in the mixer, bread maker, and food processor at the same time. But a backsplash spotted with bright white outlets and covers can be kind of an eyesore.
DIY Project Idea: How To Make a Lamp Out of Anything
Apartment Therapy Tutorials
The key to making a table lamp is finding the correct socket set-up and mount. Some readymade kits already exist but, otherwise, you have to figure out what works best for your chosen vessel-turned-lamp base. I myself had a random wooden vase/candleholder that perfectly accommodated a basic globe shade from the hardware store. It was screaming to become a lamp, and I was more than happy to oblige.
Great Gift for a DIYer: Electric Sander
DIY Sourcelist: Under $100
I was just using my electric sander, which I've owned for more than 10 years now, to sand down the spackle job I did on my bathroom walls. I've decided to wallpaper and wanted a smooth surface. My parents gave it to me as a birthday gift since I've always been interested in DIY projects, mostly refinishing furniture.
DIY Decor Project: How To Make Conduit Pipe Curtain Rods
Apartment Therapy Tutorials
When my boyfriend and I moved into our new home, we were faced with three walls of windows in our living room, one of which was twelve feet long. We loved the light, but we didn't love the prospect of paying out the nose for custom rods, or for all the pre-made ones it would require. So we devised a way to make three lengthy rods for under $25.

Update on ArnoldArnold is a hardworking entrepreneur who has a bicycle repair business in Mombasa.
He is borrowing 30,000 KES through Yehu Microfinance Trust to buy soldering equipment for his business.
Arnold successfully paid back his previous loan and is now requesting a new loan to further build his business.
Yehu Microfinance Trust is relisting Arnold's business profile again in support of his efforts to secure the future of his business.
Previous Loan DetailsArnold is single and lives in a rental house that has electricity but not piped water. His greatest monthly expense is food for the family. For the past five years, Arnold has operated a bicycle repair business; his potential clients are bicycle riders in the area. Arnold has requested a loan ... More from Arnold's previous loan »
Additional Information
About Yehu Microfinance TrustThis loan is administered by Yehu Microfinance Trust, which was founded in 1998 as a project of CHOICE Humanitarian Kenya. In July 2007, Yehu became a separate entity from CHOICE and was registered as a trust. Since then, Yehu has expanded to cover over half of Kenya's 13 coastal districts.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

How healthy is your local lake or pond?
By taking part in the survey, you'll help scientists learn more about how polluted our lakes and ponds are – something we know surprisingly little about.
Good water quality is essential for the many animals and plants that live in and around our lakes, ponds and rivers.
Unfortunately, water is easily affected by pollution from agriculture and industry, waste we throw away, and even pollutants in the air.
Animals living in the water can tell us a great deal about how polluted the water may be. Some species struggle to survive in polluted waters, while others are more tolerant.
By telling us what you find in your local pond you'll discover more about the water's health and contribute to valuable scientific research.
The best time to do this survey is from May to November.
How to take part
- Step 1 – Print the documents in English below, or in Welsh, ideally in colour.
- Step 2 – You'll need a few household items (listed in the field guide) and some pH strips (available from most garden centres).
- Step 3 – Choose a suitable pond or lake. We've prepared a guide to help you find a pond.
- Step 4 – Tell us what you find using our simple online form.
Enter your results online
Once you've completed the survey, simply submit your results:

I live in the south and can pretty much ride all year, but last year I bought an LED headlight I was pretty disappointed with.
Can anybody recommend a headlight I can use this winter?

i think if you go to roadbikereview.com or mtnbikereview.com they have some good reviews.
You gave no indication as to how much you want to spend. If you want to remain on the low cost scale similar to the LED cost you had before then the Cygolite Metro is the best deal at $48. It's a dual beam halogen light with a total of 13 watts that runs off of 6 d batteries that can either be throwaways or rechargeables, the bats will last 5 hours on low and 2.5 hours on high. This headlight will be far far brighter then any LED you have used or is currently on the market. Cygolite also makes a 16watt and a 20 watt halogen that come with rechargeable bottle style bats and both can be found for under $100 if you want a brighter light.

I bought a Light & Motion Commuter last year for about $120. Worked fine. The battery lasts about 1:45, or so I'm told, but it wasn't a real big problem to just take it inside after riding and hook it up to the charger.
One thing that's kind of a pain -- the charger doesn't have an automatic shutoff. So I had to buy one of those cheapie outlet timers to make sure the charger shuts off in time. If I use the light for an hour, I find that it's fully recharged after eight hours on the charger.
For my application (50 mile roundtrip commute), the CatEye Halogen has a lot of light (nothing is ever enough) to light the path, $25. I have a recharger at work and one at home. The LED lights that I have seen are good for letting cars know you are there, but can't light a path.
i have a Viewpoint from Performance. It has two headlights that you can turn on and off individually if you like. I use it up in Maine here where there is hardly any street lights along most roads. i bought it for $150.00, but it is worth it. comes with rechargable pack of nickel metal hydride battery and its mounts easily to your bars (quick release) and to the top tube of the bike's frame. You do not need to put it into your bottle cage. I like it very much and it lasts about 4 hours or more.
Supergo has Light & Motion HID for $327.98. I did a lot of research before I bought that one, and Supergo had the lowest price at that time. (It still has, if you do not count eBay). I like that light very much
Does anyone know anything about the HELLA 2000? This is a 3/6W LED system that works with battery or a dynamo setup. It seems to be available in Europe but I do not know if it is available in the US.
Also, a really cheap system would be the Gerber 3 Watt LED flashlight. I have this as a back up light. It seems to be the best of all the LED flash lights. It has a small spot and some scatter and seems to be comparable to a 12 watt hallogen. REI had it on sale for under $40 during the Labor Day weekend. There is no on-off button though (you twist the tail cap). Changing battery is a pain if you use it alot. Otherwise it might be sufficient.
Another alternative is to buy a 2-3 C/D cell flash light and replace the bulb with a 1-3 watt LED light. That would give you longer run-time. Estimated cost $10 for a decent flash light, $50 bucks for the bulb.
Would appreciate any information on the HELLA though.
I'm with kali kali....oh wait she be in Maine Maine...
I too have the Performance ViewPoint EVO Dual Headlight System
I like it a lot! I ride mostly with just the 10w... when I get bored I turn on the 20w also... or close to home to use some juice in the NiMH Battery, the charger works great also.
Mine was on sale AT THE STORE for 119.00... the listing was 149.00, down from 199.00
Bet you could find a coupon online for more discounts if you order online
for a point of reference, if this is the CE-EL500 its a single LED 1000 candlepower and runs on 4AAs - I'm interested, CatEye is very reputable - the unit is rated very water resistant and can't be very heavy - but you say it won't light a path? I run my mtb mostly on roads; now wondering if this falls short for occasional night riding. I have a good supply of NiMH batteries & chargersOriginally Posted by Cranks
Thanks / Peter
This light is just satisfactory only if you ride on well lit city streets; if you venture on pitch dark bike paths or country roads your going to have to adjust your speed way down to about 10mph or you will be finding yourself going faster then your light will allow you to see.Originally Posted by PM7771
Like I mentioned in my earlier post, for about $15 dollars more (no more then $20) you could get a Cygolite Metro that uses 6 D batteries and you can buy rechargeables; but the most important thing is the light output that will be at least 10 times brighter with just one of it's 2 beams!
Cateye Triple Shot is pretty nice, lasts a good three hours following full recharge, pretty pricy though, got it about $75 less than retail on Ebay.
That Cateye retails for over $350, even if you got it for $75 dollars less you could still by a far brighter halogen for a lot less, or heck for that price you could get a HID. I like Cateye products and the company, but that triple shot is a rip off.Originally Posted by the_recluse

I definitely think I've improved. For example, compare this:
"The boy pulls her ponytail, and the girl responds by punching him. They soon get into a huge fight, paying no attention to the other duo that comes up behind them.
'Mind if we take these?' A brown-haired girl asks. She's holding up the bag of food the kids have, dangling it in their faces.
"Gimme that!' The girl yells. She tries to grab the bag, but fails. The brunette laughs. 'You'll have to do better than that!' The kids stand up, too distracted by the brunette to notice her brother taking everything else the kids have."
To this:
"Conversation comes to a complete stop while we eat. I thought Volkner looked healthy and well-fed, but he seems just as starved as the rest of us. His Pokémon eat quickly and heartily except for Scarlet, who takes great care to taste every little drop. My stomach is full before the bowl is empty, so I hand the rest off to Scout. Volkner notices this and puts his bowl down in his lap, face covered in soup. 'Aren't you going to finish it?'
'Well, no. Not if I'm full…' he stares at me, looking somewhat disturbed. I try to explain, but he talks over me."
That's a two or three year difference in writing, and holy crap does it show. o.o;

Peer Reviewed Journal Writing: Tips from 3 Pros
When writing for a peer reviewed journal, your goal is to get your essay published so it can be shared with other professionals in the field. Since the writing will be reviewed by a group of your peers, however, you must be certain that the completed essay is something that the small review board will find relevant and important to the field.
Articles written for a peer reviewed journal are scholarly in fashion. In many cases, a peer reviewed journal writing is completed after conducting extensive research. As such, the writing is completed as a manner of sharing the information that was learned or of simply sharing the data that was gathered as the result of the research.
Whether the peer reviewed journal writing is written after conducting research or is simply written based on the research that was already conducted by professionals in the field, the piece should offer something new to the profession. For example, it may offer new perspective on information previously known or it might pose a new question yet to be answered. Regardless of the information contained within the writing, it should have some sort of significant impact on the field.
Since peer reviewed writing must be heavily supported by research, you will need to do a great deal of research before writing one of these articles. If you are in the position to do so, you might conduct a study yourself and then gather the results to be published in the journal. In some cases, however, you can gather data from a variety of studies you were not involved in so you can write a peer reviewed journal piece. In either case, you must be able to provide a substantial amount of data to back the claim you make with your piece and all of this information must be properly cited and referenced.
When it comes to citing and referencing your resources, you must check with the journal you are writing for in order to determine the type of format that is preferred. The same holds true for any other formatting you utilize for your peer reviewed journals, as each journal has its own style and requirements. In addition to reading the formatting guidelines as provided by the journal, it is also a good idea to read several articles within the journal in order to get a better idea of the style of writing used in the journal.
Many peer reviewed journals will ask that you write an abstract to go along with the actual journal writing. The abstract provides a brief synopsis of what the entire writing is to discuss and should only be about a paragraph in length.
The actual journal writing itself is often broken down into a few different segments, with each segment focusing on one aspect of the overall writing. Similarly, it should be written in a purely factual manner as it presents information to the reader. Finally, since the writing is intended for an audience of other professionals in the field, you do not have to explain every last detail of terms or theories that are well understood and known in the field.

Student-to-student, peer reviewed journals are becoming a more popular addition to the publication world. This is partly because more students are looking for ways to get published and become better known, which can be difficult to accomplish otherwise. With the help of student-to-student peer reviewed journals, graduated students can slip their professional foot in the door, getting a head start on a long, prosperous career.
In order to write a student-to-student peer reviewed journal essay, you need to be able to offer something new and interesting to the field. Simply writing a project that rehashes information that is already known within the field will not suffice. Rather, you must either conduct research and then write about your research results or you must gather research information and create an article that takes a different look at the information that is already known.
When writing an article for a peer reviewed journal, whether a student-to-student peer reviewed journal or not, you must look at the guidelines as established by the journal. Often, journals will have a very specific format for writing articles that are to be submitted to the journal and failure to follow these guidelines will make it so your paper doesn't even get reviewed at all.
In addition to reading the format guidelines as established by the journal, you should also read articles that are included in the journal. This will give you a better idea of the type of style the journal tends to publish.
When writing an article for a journal, your information should be research based, whether you have conducted the research yourself or not. In addition, a peer reviewed journal article is not an opinion piece and is not intended to sway the reader to agree with a certain point-of-view. Rather, you are simply presenting information to the reader and the reader can draw his or her own conclusions from the information presented. At the same time, you can point the reader in certain directions by discussing what the research results could possibly mean and the impact this information could have upon the field.
When you write an article for a peer reviewed journal, you also need to make sure to cite the references that you have included in your article. In addition to including a bibliography at the end of the document, you will also need to include foot notes and will likely be called upon to cite your sources within the body of the article.
As with any form of writing, your article will need to have an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. The introduction should include the thesis, which is a statement that tells what the article will be about, and it should give the reader a purpose for reading. The body should go on to explain and support your thesis, while the conclusion will restate the thesis and will summarize what you wrote about in the body of your article.

When learning how to write an academic journal essay, the focus of your writing is to share information with a larger community of professionals in the field. Therefore, your information must be relevant to the field and should provide a contribution to the knowledge base within that particular field or discipline. In addition, a journal writing might provide information that helps others within the field make sense of the results they obtained from their experiments.
If you wish to actually have your journal writing appear in an academic journal, it will likely have to be reviewed by other professionals in the field first. A peer review journal generally keeps a small group of professionals on board, all of who read the journal writing and determine whether or not it is appropriate for publication. In many cases, a few revisions will be made to the journal writing before it is actually published.
There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to the format for journal writing. In fact, if you wish to have your journal writing published in a professional journal, you will need to read the guidelines provided by the journal in order to make sure you are following the proper format. Nonetheless, there are a few general tips for journal writing that are accepted with most professional journals.
Regardless of the field you are writing about or the journal you are writing for, the first step in journal writing is to organize your information and determine which information you wish to present in the writing. You might want to start off with an outline, though not all people work well in this manner. In fact, you might wish to write a rough draft first in order to help you organize your thoughts and then you can rearrange your thoughts later.
Regardless of the method you use for organizing your paper, arrangement of the article is critical when it comes to journal writing. This is partially because the typical, academic journal writing is divided into sections and, as such, you need to make sure the right information is contained within each section. Often times, a journal writing has multiple contributors. If this is the case, you need to work with each person that is contributing to the writing in order to make sure all of the desired points are made.
After determining the information you wish to include in your journal writing, you also need to consider the audience of your paper. In most cases, the audience of a journal writing will be your professional peers. Therefore, you should write the journal as though you are speaking to another professional working in your field or is if you are writing to a student who is learning about the field. As such, you should assume that the audience has at least a basic working knowledge of the subject area and you do not need to explain every last detail.
With journal writing, the final draft should be clear and concise. Review the writing for grammatical errors, punctuation errors, and flaws in logic. Once you have done so, you should have a great journal writing to submit for peer review.

Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 30 mins
A great twist on the grilled burger! A must for blue cheese lovers, and the sauteed mushrooms finish these off perfectly! I had these at a friend's cook-out, and I had to have the recipe. If you like your meat spicier, feel free to add more spice to the meat mixture.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 lbs lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons blue cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons onions, minced
- 2 teaspoons creamed horseradish
- 2 teaspoons prepared mustard
- 1⁄2 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Combine ground beef, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; mix well, and shape into 16 thin patties. It easier to form 8 equally portioned balls of meat, then halve it to form the patties.
- Combine cream cheese, blue cheese, onion, horseradish, and mustard in a small bowl; beat at medium speed of an electric mixer until blended. Divide cheese mixture evenly among 8 patties; spread to within 1/2 inch of edges. Top with the remaining patties, pressing edges to seal. Make sure to seal them well.
- Grill hamburgers over medium-hot coals (350 to 400 degrees) 10 minutes on each side or to desired degree of doneness. Set aside, and keep warm.
- Saute mushrooms in melted butter in a skillet until tender. Top burgers with sauteed mushrooms.

Delicious burgers! We are big, big fans of gorgonzola cheese and mushrooms so we were absolutely in heaven. The only change I made was to leave the mustard out of the filling. Definitely on my go-to burger list and I have all summer to enjoy them again and again. : )
Blue cheese plus mushrooms, heaven.
Thankyou for posting this delicious burger. I had some leftover blue cheese that I wasn't quite sure what to do with and I am so glad that I tried your recipe. I hope you get many more reviews this is a keeper! I served it with parmesan zucchini sticks...so good. I added a little bit of steak seasoning to the burgers and on my buns I used butter lettuce, tomato slices and thousand island dressing....thanks again!!!!!:)

She then moves on to tell us as to how Tom had labeled Sebastian "poison". She tells her friends about her father's take on dating Sebastian. Carrie then asks Maggie if she would feel awkward hanging out with Walt as they broke up. Maggie says that she has no issues; but her friends do know that she is a big drama queen. Carrie then decides to take some advice from Larissa; but after hearing about her life, Carrie feels that she has done nothing. Next, Tom is shopping for tampons and he meets a woman named Celia at the store.
She gives him her number just in case he wants "any help". Carrie meets Sebastian at school and he wants to know what they are doing the next day. She then tells him that they could get something to eat. Carrie is still about her father telling her not to meet Sebastian. At home, she tells Tom that he is a great father. But then she also wants to know why he is not allowing her to meet Sebastian. Tom does not want to talk about it. Carrie wonders if Sebastian's father is his client. Dorritt arrives saying that she is hungry and Tom tells her that he has got what she wanted. But she then is furious to learn that her father did not bring enough quantity to stalk the fridge. She storms out of the house saying that she is going to Audrey's. Well, is she really going there? Dorritt is at a pet store where she likes a hamster.
Meanwhile, at home, Carrie sneaks into her father's locker room where he keeps all his legal files and finds a file labeled S Kydd. She reads the file and is shocked. She then tells her friends that Sebastian was kicked out of her previous school for having sex with his history teacher. Mouse tells her that she should not date Sebastian. Later, they discuss about Mouse's trip to NY to meet Seth. She tells them that it is not a date but only a casual meeting. Carrie tells her that she should dress like she is going on a date. At Maggie's house, Mouse sees that Maggie is trying to get rid of things related to Walt. Well, that is going to take a lot of time. So they get to choose a dress for Mouse. But her clothes don't fit her. They call Carrie for help. Carrie tells her that she can lend Mouse her blue dress.

Well, she strikes a deal; if Carrie would let her keep the hamster, she would not tell their father that Carrie is meeting Sebastian. They have a deal! Carrie meets Sebastian at the park and they kiss. Carrie is smitten and she asks him where he learned to kiss like that.
He tells her that he had a teacher. Just then she is reminded of the file and she leaves. Later, Carrie and Mouse arrive at Manhattan and Seth arrives. They are about to hang out with Larissa. Larissa arrives and takes them to an art exhibit. But Carrie sis stunned when the actual show starts. A former porn star, now turned performance artist, is showing her vagina to every penny that is put in the box! Meanwhile at home, the hamster has escaped from its box and Dorritt tries to search for it. Maggie is still mourning over her breakup and she tears apart the huge teddy that Walt gifted her.

At the art exhibit, Larissa tells Mouse to put a penny in the jar and see Monica's, the porn star, vagina.

Monica then calls Carrie on stage and tells her that she reminds her of when she was young. She then tells Carrie to take her throne and show the world her vagina! Carrie is petrified. But there is another Bradshaw who is a terrified position; Tom! He is blabbering in front of a woman. But he manages to get her number.

He finds all this snooping around too overwhelming.
He tells her that this thing between them would not work out. He leaves. At the pet store, Carrie tells her father that she is sorry for what she told him earlier that day. He tells her that no matter what he tells her in anger, he will always trust her. The episode ends.
