In mid-May, I traveled to Easter Island (via French Polynesia) from New York, using 70,000 Aadvantage Miles.
I spent three full days in Easter Island (and could have used another day or two), then a few days in Bora Bora, Rangiroa and a departure day in Tahiti.
I would be happy to answer any questions, but in lieu of a trip report, I refer you to my photos.

Photos: Easter Island and French Polynesia

Welcome back, Michael! Enjoyed your photos. The French Polynesia ones brought back nice memories (haven't been to Easter Island yet). What did you use for the underwater shots?
What geographic zone was this award considered or did you use a Oneworld award? What carriers did you take?
Report Abuse
Patty, there are no underwater shots -- the water in Rangiroa was so clear that I was able to take photos from the surface (of course, the snorkeling was fantastic, but I didn't have an underwater camera).
Easter Island is in South Pacific zone (for AA purposes). Now, that I look at the chart, it may have been 75,000 miles (not 70,000).

Thanks, Michael!

I have been looking to do a similar trip - LAN Chile used to offer one -but have had no luck in finding flights that will get me to where I want to be. Was all your travel done via AA?
Report Abuse
kaley, I booked all my travel through AA (using their frequent flyer miles), but my flights were on AA, Air Tahiti Nui and LAN (in that order from JFK to LAX to Tahiti to Easter Island on the way there, and in the reverse on the return). I did a several day stopover in Tahiti on the return, and I used that stopover to visit Bora Bora and Rangiroa.
LAN is the only carrier servicing Easter Island.

Michael...great pictures!!! I'm jealous about Easter Island, I haven't been yet, but I want to go. The pictures on Tahiti and her islands bring back great memories of my honeymoon, and Hinano!
The clarity and color in your pictures are so great; what kind of camera do you use? Thanks for sharing!

nrosebrock, I used a Nikon D80. This was my second trip with that camera, and I'm very happy with it -- its very, very easy to use, and takes great photos.

Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life is a 2003 action film directed by Dutch cinematographer Jan de Bont. It is the second installment in the Tomb Raider series, which is based on the best-selling video games of the same name. When the British Secret Intelligence Service discovers that terrorist Jonathan Reiss (Ciar''n Hinds) is searching for Pandora's Box, which contains a deadly plague, the agency gives archaeologist Lara Croft (Angelina Jolie) the job of finding it first. While exploring a cave off the coast of Santorini, Lara finds a glowing orb that can act as the map to Pandora's Box, which is located somewhere in the Cradle of Life. Unfortunately, criminal Chen Lo (Simon Yam) manages to steal the orb, and he plans to sell it to Jonathan. Joined by ex-mercenary Terry Sheridan (Gerard Butler), Lara goes on a fantastic, perilous adventure in order to reclaim the orb and prevent Jonathan from opening Pandora's Box.

*"Africa's Oprah Winfrey," a real woman by the way, is planning to launch her own network.
Nigerian born Mo Abudu, a television talk show host of "Moments with Mo," producer, and overall media personality is actually a pioneer where she comes from.
Her show is the first syndicated daily talk show, which covers lifestyle, health, culture, entertainment and more, on African regional television and rakes in millions of viewers, according to Shadow and Act.
Although she doesn't much like the title, she's become known as "Africa's Oprah Winfrey" for her popularity and successful coverage of hot topics.
Her new channel will be a bigger reflection of her life's work, celebrating the lives and accomplishments of Africans and providing representation from around the continent.
"The goal of the new network is to produce content that gives young people hope across the continent [a group that she says remains underserved by African media, apart from music-driven channels like MTV Base]. These are the people that 10 years from now are going to be running the continent, and we're not engaging them. We want to make sure that the content we produce has global appeal… The vision is a global vision for EbonyLife."

Pau Gasol recovered from his tendinitis in both knees but now is dealing with a sore plantar fascia in his right foot.
The Lakers listed Gasol as probable to play Friday night vs. Portland, an indication the condition is not too severe. Gasol sat in front of his locker with his feet in ice water after playing 37 minutes Wednesday night in Denver; he played 34 minutes the previous day vs. New York.
Plantar fasciitis is soreness in the bottom of the foot, and an MRI on Thursday revealed the condition.

New graphics card for 2009 Mac Pro?
Jul 5, 2012
Has anyone upgraded their 2009 mac pro graphics card? Just wonder if its worth it for general PS work, D800 200mb tiff's.
To be honest it's not slow, I guess the only slow bit is after using a nik plugin to do its stuff.

Gore is no doubt being overwhelmed with visitors as I write, all in sequinned, breathless anticipation for the New Zealand Gold Guitar awards this weekend.
We've talked about busking (The Freeze Ya Bits Off Busking contest loometh, children, so get your best John Denver impressions ready) and we've talked about country music and we've talked about country outfits.
But what makes a country person?
Is it a beat-up pickup, a lonesome dog howling on the porch and a confederate flag hanging askew in the window?
Or, are we trying to pigeonhole people, squeezing them into an American ideal that doesn't exist in New Zealand? Kiss my grits!
It's easy to define a townie but, as townies wear cowboy boots, listen to The Eagles and drive (admittedly very clean) flash utes, the line between what is town and what is country becomes blurred. What is a country person?
Saddlery Warehouse owner Rachel McCallum says there aren't any cowboy boots in her country world (and this is the woman who got a subscription to the Country channel on Sky for her birthday).
It's Redbands. Gumboots. The gumboots the proper farmers wear.
And proper farmers are perhaps the definition of country I'm looking for - dairy and sheep and beef farmers who work the land, live the country lifestyle and, yes, wear the country clothes. And listen to the music - sometimes.
But the country clothes aren't cowboy outfits, McCallum says.
"It's the whole Lincoln thing," she said.
"Turned-up collars, pearls - the Central Otago look. The pearls would have been a 21st gift."
Go out to Field Days and you'll see it. It's all merino - Glowing Sky or Icebreaker - big scarves, skinny jeans, long leather boots, bright lipstick. On the women, of course.
Then there's the truck - it'll be something with four-wheel drive, usually a Toyota Hilux ute.
"Although the Ford Ranger is making a very big impression at the moment," she says, laughing.
When I think of proper farmy country people (Agrestis authenticus ), I push away the stylised American rustic visions
and think of some of the farmers I know. They have big houses and black leather couches.
The new country woman is also totally involved in running the farm. She might not get out into the yards but she'll know how every inch of the farm is profitable.
The Aertex-shirted, pearled younger crowd, McCallum says, do listen to country music, but more country rock than Johnny Cash. "The younger crews really do like the country rock - [Old Crow Medicine Show hit] Wagon Wheel - everybody likes a bit of Wagon Wheel at a 21st."
I have a thought. It's like getting an electric shock. A boot off a fence ...
Perhaps the reason it's so hard to define country is that it's hard to define yourself. Invercargill is a rural service town. We're friendly, we're open, we've got ads for rural veterinary supplies on the radio. Maybe I can't define country because I am country. We're all country.

United Arab Shipping Company (UASC) said its six shareholding states backed a merger deal with German container shipping line Hapag-Lloyd AG at a meeting on Wednesday.
Following last week's landmark referendum results, VesselsValue has compiled a list of the top five U.K.-based shipowners and their total fleet value in USD billions.
U.S. Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) Commissioner William P. Doyle issued a statement on the upcoming implementation of the SOLAS Convention's verified gross mass (VGM) requirements:

Banks football downs North Marion.
The Banks football team began the 2015 season in fine fashion on Friday night, blowing out North Marion 42-13 at home.
Donny McClean starred on both sides of the ball for the Braves, rushing for 87 yards and three touchdowns on offense – with all three scores coming in the first half – and supplying seven total tackles on defense.
Perhaps a bit surprisingly given the score line, the Huskies actually outgained the Braves in yardage 291- 271, but Banks got the first two scores of the game on McClean rushing TDs to jump out 14-0, and Jaron Malcolm added a 14-yard interception return in the second quarter to help the home team build a 20-0 lead.
Still in the second period, North Marion got on the board with a 73-yard TD run, but Milo Applebee came up with a kickoff return that was nearly as long to put the Braves back ahead by three touchdowns, 28-7. McClean added a 4-yard scoring plunge before the halftime whistle, giving Banks a comfortable 36-7 lead at the intermission.
Jake Evans, who took over quarterbacking duties midway through his sophomore season last fall, was an efficient 10-for-13 for 99 yards and a 25-yard touchdown strike to Applebee in the third quarter.
Applebee led the receiving corps with two receptions for 40 yards and that score, while Brock Smith added two catches for 35 yards. McClean had three receptions for 13 yards.
On defense, Trevor Thiessen recorded six total tackles and two sacks.
Banks (1-0) remains at home next week, when it will host Philomath on Friday at 7 p.m. The Huskies (0-1) will play at Gladstone the same night.

For a Patriots team that had played well in the clutch and embraced big moments over most of the first 13 games, seeing breakdowns in all three phases of the game down the stretch Sunday was a surprise.
Even for them.
"We go out there every drive expecting to execute in that situation," wide receiver Julian Edelman said quietly, shortly after the Patriots came up short on a last-ditch scoring attempt, "and we weren't able to do that [Sunday]."
For the first time since the end of the Carolina game, the Patriots weren't able to convert with the game in the balance. Of course, you could argue -- as offensive lineman Logan Mankins did after the defeat -- that they shouldn't have had to rely on a late score to win in the first place.
"It's all pretty disappointing -- you feel like you had enough chances to win the game," Mankins said. "Not just that last drive, but throughout the game. We had multiple chances in the red area and didn't get enough touchdowns.
"We had plenty of chances to win. I felt like we were always moving the ball until a certain point, then we wouldn't make any plays, or we'd make a mistake that would kill the drive. It was just one of those days where you'd get going and either they'd stop you or you'd stop yourself. It kind of felt like we were stopping ourselves. I'm not 100 percent sure on that, but that's what it felt like to me."
In truth, this was the first defeat since October where there was no questioning the officiating, either publicly or privately, after the game: This one was a straight-up defeat, no questions asked.
"You have to tip your hat to Miami — they made more plays than us," Edelman said. "They executed their plays, and we didn't execute ours."
Even under ideal circumstances, the NFL season is a marathon; a meatgrinder of a process that can wear even the most mentally tough individual down to a nub. It's a long campaign, and it can take its toll on the sharpest of individuals. With that in mind, the 2013 Patriots have to be lauded for their mental toughness, resilience and sheer grit. To even be in the conversation for the No. 1 seed in the AFC despite the loss of so many key players -- Vince Wilfork, Rob Gronkowski, Jerod Mayo, Sebastian Vollmer -- speaks to their character.
But in a season with so many close games -- 11 of the 14 games have been decided by seven points or less, including Sunday's last-minute loss to the Dolphins in Miami -- it's fair to ask if the strain that comes with playing so many intense contests is starting to take a toll down the stretch.
Part of the stress could lie in the fact that they haven't made it easy on themselves. Sunday's game aside, because of misfires over the first two quarters, the Patriots have managed to dig themselves some pretty big holes over the last month-plus: They've had to come back from second-half deficits of four (twice, against the Bills and Saints), 10 (Texans), 14 (Dolphins), 16 (Browns) and 24 (Broncos).
They started well against Miami on Sunday, taking a 10-0 lead, but the Patriots had to try and play catch-up again down the stretch. The Dolphins had a seven-point lead at the start of the fourth, and despite a back-and-forth sequence down the stretch, New England couldn't cash in at the end, as four pass plays fell incomplete -- one was nullified by a defensive penalty -- and Michael Thomas, a former Niners practice squad player who only took reps with the scout team defense this week, intercepted the fifth in the end zone.
"You'd like to start fast and get up early and roll with it toward the end, but credit to the Dolphins," wide receiver Danny Amendola said after Sunday's loss. "They played hard."
While It remains to be seen if having to rely on comebacks time and again is a sustainable model -- and if it will start to wear down a team -- it has certainly revealed the fact that New England doesn't have the same sort of luxury it had it years past when it was routinely blowing teams out.
"Our margin of error is very slim," quarterback Tom Brady acknowledged on WEEI Monday morning. "We're not winning by 30 points. Every game comes down to the end."
Of the 14 games the Patriots have played, eight have turned in the final minutes of regulation (New England is 5-3 in those games), including each one of the last five games. Overall, New England is 7-4 in games decided by seven points or less, and 6-3 in games decided by four points or less.
According to Pro Football Reference, the average margin of victory for the 2013 Patriots is 4.1 points per game, eighth-best in the league. (By way of comparison, the Seahawks lead the league with a 12.5 average, while the Broncos are tops in the AFC at 11.6.) For New England, that 4.1 average is one of the closest margins of any Patriots team of recent memory -- the last time the Patriots played a series of consistently close games over the course of the entire season was in 2008, when they had an average margin of victory of 6.3, but missed the playoffs on the way to an 11-5 mark. (Five games that season were decided by seven points or less.)
For what it's worth, as we explained here, history tells us that teams who play closer games over the course of the regular season tend to do better when the playoffs roll around. Six of the last 10 Super Bowl winners had an average margin of victory of eight points or less, while on the other end of the spectrum, only two of the Super Bowl winners in that span had an average margin of victory of 10 points or better.
As a result, history tells us that the 2013 Patriots have proven themselves to be considered a championship contender, if for no other reason than they've had a mental strength forged by a series of tight games. It remains to be seen whether or not they'll have the wherewithal -- or anything left in the tank -- to call upon those reserves in January.

This invention relates to apparatus for holding nuclear fuel assemblies and particularly to nuclear fuel assembly storage racks.
In nuclear steam supply systems well known in the art, a reactor vessel contains fuel assemblies with nuclear fuel therein which produce heat in a commonly understood fashion. The fuel assemblies may be rectangular or hexagonal arrays of fuel elements and may be approximately 150 inches in length. The fuel element may be a hollow cylindrical steel rod filled with nuclear fuel pellets as is well understood by those skilled in the art. When the fuel assemblies are placed in proper configuration within the reactor vessel, the fuel elements comprising the fuel assembly, generate heat. A coolant is circulated through the reactor vessel in heat transfer relationship with the fuel assemblies thereby transferring heat from the fuel assemblies to the coolant. The coolant may then be circulated to a location remote from the reactor vessel to generate steam and in turn generate electricity. After a period of reactor operation, the nuclear fuel in the fuel element becomes depleted necessitating replacement of the spent fuel assembly with a fresh one. The spent or depleted fuel assembly is then transferred to a storage location where it is allowed to cool to a reasonable temperature. Before and after being used in the reactor, the fuel assembly may be held upright in a storage location by a storage rack.
There are several storage rack configurations known in the art. In most of these storage racks the fuel assembly is held upright by having its upper end clamped to a supporting structure while having its lower end clamped or fitted into a socket. The fuel assemblies are separated by a sufficient distance to avoid a critical arrangement. While the clamped top end and clamped or socketed bottom end configurations provide positive retention structures, if the fuel assembly becomes slightly misaligned between clamps the configuration may result in high stresses in the fuel assembly because the configuration approximates a column with a clamped top and bottom. Thus, the slenderness of the fuel assembly and its substantial weight, which may be 1500 pounds, combined with a slight misalignment of the fuel assembly between clamps can result in excessive torsional and bending stresses in the fuel assembly. Since in many applications, these high stresses cannot be tolerated, the prior art configurations for storage racks are not suitable.
A nuclear fuel assembly storage rack having a swivel base for minimizing stresses in the fuel assembly. The storage rack consists of a mechanism for supporting a plurality of fuel assemblies from near their top end and a swivel base on which the bottom of the fuel assembly rests. The swivel base comprises two steel plates with a hard ball centered and captured between the plates and a third plate attached to the top steel plate. The bottom steel plate is attached to the bottom of the storage rack and the third plate has pins therein for maintaining proper alignment of the lower end of the fuel assembly. The upper end of the fuel assembly may be clamped to the supporting structure, while the lower end rests on the swivel base. The swivel base allows the fuel assembly to seek the least stressed condition by having the upper steel base plate pivot or rotate on the hard ball which is captured between the steel plates.
It is an object of this invention to provide a fuel assembly storage rack capable of supporting fuel assemblies while minimizing the stresses in the fuel assembly.
It is a particular object of this invention to provide a fuel assembly storage rack having a swivel base capable of supporting fuel assemblies while minimizing the stresses in the fuel assembly.
It is a more particular object of this invention to provide a fuel assembly storage rack having a swivel base with plates capable of relative motion for supporting fuel assemblies while minimizing the stresses in the fuel assembly.
While the specification concludes with claims specifically pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter of the invention, it is believed the invention will be better understood from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is an elevational view in perspective of the fuel assembly storage rack;
FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view in elevation of the swivel base; and
FIG. 3 is a plan view of the swivel base.
In nuclear reactor systems it is necessary to store fuel assemblies before and after the fuel assemblies are used in the nuclear reactor. The invention described herein provides apparatus capable of storing such fuel assemblies without the fuel assembly developing unacceptable stresses therein.
Referring to FIG. 1, a typical ductless fuel assembly 10 comprises fuel elements 12. Fuel elements 12 may be hollow cylindrical metallic tubes filled with nuclear fuel as is well known in the art. Fuel elements 12 are held at their upper end by upper end support 14 and at their lower end by lower end support 16. Upper end support 14 and lower end support 16 are metal supports that are capable of maintaining proper alignment of fuel elements 12 within fuel assembly 10 and of providing a mechanism for attachment during transportation and reactor operation. Both upper end support 14 and lower end support 16 have openings 18 therein for accommodating alignment pins. During storage, fuel assembly 10 is supported from its upper end by clamp 20 which is a metal support conforming to the shape of upper end support 14. Once fuel assembly 10 has been placed in clamp 20 by typical fuel handling apparatus, clamp 20 may be made secure by tightening the winged nut and bolt arrangement 22 or other suitable fastening means. Clamp 20 is attached at the end opposite nut and bolt arrangement 22 to center post 24 by means well known in the art such as by sleeve 26 which may be welded to center post 24. Center post 24 may be a hollow cylindrical metal column supported vertically by its attachment to base 28 along with supporting metal struts 30. Base 28 may be either a metal plate fixed to the floor of the storage facility or it may be the floor itself. Center post 24 has four symmetrically disposed clamps 20 arranged in conjunction with struts 30 such that at least four fuel assemblies 10 may be supported from one center post 24. While fuel assembly 10 is supported from its upper end support 14 by clamp 20, the lower end support 16 rests on swivel base 32.
Referring now to FIG. 2, swivel base 32 comprises first plate 34, second plate 36, third plate 38, ball 40, circular pins 42, and diamond pins 44. Third plate 38 may be a rectangular carbon steel plate approximately one inch thick and fastened to base 28 by appropriate means such as first screws 46. Second plate 36 is a rectangular carbon steel plate approximately one inch thick with its corners removed to expose the corners of third plate 38. Second plate 36 has a first hole 48 drilled in the center thereof that is complimentary to a similar center drilled second hole 50 in third plate 38 for accommodating a hard steel ball 40. Ball 40 which may be approximately 1.5 inches in diameter rests in second hole 50 of third plate 38 while second plate 36 rests on ball 40 such that ball 40 fits into first hole 48. When second plate 36 rests on ball 40 in this arrangement, second plate 36 is separated from third plate 38 by a gap 52 which may be approximately 0.125 inch wide. A foam rubber or urethane sheet 54 with a hole therein corresponding to first hole 48 and second hole 50 may be inserted into gap 52 between second plate 36 and third plate 38 so as to prevent foreign material from becoming lodged between the plates. Second plate 36 is, thereby, capable of moving relative to third plate 38 by pivoting or rotating on ball 40. A first plate 34 which may be manufactured of nylon or stainless steel and may be approximately 0.25 inch thick is attached to the top of second plate 36 by means well known to those skilled in the art such as second screws 56. First plate 34 provides a mechanism for isolating contact of lower end support 16 from second plate 36 to thereby avoid corrosion of fuel assembly 10 because contact of fuel assembly 10 with the carbon steel of second plate 36 may cause corrosion of fuel assembly 10. Hardened round pins 42 and diamond pins 44 are press fitted through first plate 34 and into second plate 36.
Round pin 42 and diamond pin 44 are capable of fitting into openings 18 in lower end support 16 so as to engage lower end support 16 and support the weight of fuel assembly 10. Round pin 42 has a diameter 58 which may be approximately 0.8 inch and diamond pin 44 has a length 60 across farthest tips which is equal to diameter 58 while line 62 denotes the distance across the short tips of diamond pin 44 which is less than diameter 58. When fuel assembly 10 is placed on swivel base 32, a round pin 42 engages an opening 18 while a diamond pin 44 located across the center of swivel base 32 from the round pin 42 engages a similar opening 18 thereby preventing rotation of fuel assembly 10 with respect to plates 34 and 36 of swivel base 32. Line 62 being shorter than length 60 allows a fuel assembly 10 to be positioned on a round pin 42-diamond pin 44 set even though the corresponding openings 18 are separated by a distance slightly different from the distance between the pins while still preventing rotation of fuel assembly 10. A first round pin 42-diamond pin 44 set is located on first plate 34 to accommodate a fuel assembly 10 having a 14 � 14 array of fuel elements while a second set of pins are located at 45� from the first set so as to accommodate a fuel assembly 10 having a 15 � 15 array of fuel elements 12 thereby providing swivel base 32 with the capability of supporting either type of fuel assembly. Furthermore, first plate 34 and second plate 36 have a centered hole 64 therethrough that allows clamp 20 to be aligned with the center of swivel base 32 by plumb bob or other such methods.
When a typical fuel assembly 10 has been placed into clamp 20, lower end support 16 rests on swivel base 32 with a diamond pin 44 and corresponding round pin 42 engaging openings 18 of lower end support 16. While in this position the fuel assembly 10 may not be completely vertically aligned because of misalignment in clamp 20 or for other common reasons such as thermal bending. Since a typical fuel assembly 10 may be approximately 156 inches in length and weigh approximately 1500 pounds, this slight misalignment may cause severe stresses in the fuel assembly. However, because the fuel assembly 10 rests on swivel base 32, first plate 34 and second plate 36 together move relative to third plate 38 by revolving on ball 40 thereby allowing fuel assembly 10 to become aligned in a nonstressed position. When so moving, second plate 36 may either compress sheet 54 or allow sheet 54 to expand slightly. While in the prior art, a slight misalignment may have produced a high stress level in a fuel assembly without a swivel base thereby approaching the situation of a long slender column with two clamped ends, the present invention approaches the condition of a column with one end clamped and the other end pivoted. Therefore, the invention provides a fuel assembly storage rack having a swivel base with plates capable of relative motion for supporting fuel assemblies while minimizing the stresses in the fuel assembly.
While there is described what is now considered to be the preferred embodiment of the invention, it is, of course, understood that various other modifications and variations will occur to those skilled in the art. The claims, therefore, are intended to include all such modifications and variations which fall within the true spirit and scope of the present invention. For example, ball 40 may be replaced with a hemispherical member that would rest with its flat side on third plate 38 while its hemispherical side would extend into first hole 48.

Anybody have tips, suggestion, pointers, preferences, reciepes for homemade tomato sauce?
I have an abundance of tomatos most of which are not the "prettiest" and I need to put them to use. I would greatly appreciate any help as I have not attempted this before.
Homemade Tomato Sauce
Anybody have tips, suggestion, pointers, preferences, reciepes for homemade tomato sauce?
I've been putting my paste tomatos right in the freezer, whole. Someday I'll get them all out and make this.
Paul: I don't follow a recipe, but as I recall it is really easy -- cook up some onions in olive oil -- maybe add garlic. Peel the tomatoes (do this by dropping them in boiling water for 60 seconds -- the skin will come off easily). Cut them up and drop them in the onions. (Many people say to squeeze out and discard the juice first, but I don't.) Cook for a while. Salt and pepper to taste; add basil if you have it. Cool and freeze.
It is pretty easy, this recipe is pretty close to how I've done it, I do add oregano to it
Thank you!
For all you lucky stiffs with good tomato harvests this year, my friend Irene has a great trick for no-cook thick tomato sauce. Wash & core tomatoes & cut them into chunks, then blend briefly. Run through food mill to remove seeds & skins. This will usually yield a fairly thin sauce, but if you let it sit overnight it will separate... Ladle the thick sauce off the top, use the juice at the bottom for drinking or freeze/can for soup. The thick sauce can just be heated & canned, or you can cook it with onions, herbs, etc., and then can (water bath is fine as long as you don't use much olive oil).
Jill forgot the last bit of the directions - when you've completed the previous steps invite everyone over for a pasta potluck...LOL
I like that last directive!!
Jill, I'm glad you posted Irene's trick. Both you and Theresa have told me about it several times, but for some reason I can't seem to remember it. When I make and can sauce (boiling water bath) from my tomatoes, it tastes good but is way too thin. Actually, I was going to re-ask you yet again, but now I have it bookmarked for posterity! Thanks :)

Onion Knight. He turns into a ninja. And not everyone thinks side characters are oh so cool. Sure there's some memorable ones, but for the inaugural game in the Dissidia franchise, one that is meant to represent the 20th anniversary of the Final Fantasy franchise, doesn't it just make a little bit of sense to do it with the main characters and villains? It just seems like a week complaint to me.

I thought the fight system was deep in its own way. Kind of like Kingdom Hearts but with Smash Brother's attack commands. Not traditional like a fighting game but you definitely need to learn strategy and the details of your attacks. It's still more an action RPG to me then a fight game though. Only difference is more 1 on 1's. It really feels like an RPG if your gutsy enough to take on higher level characters then your current level. Attack speeds, range, possible defensive properties and varying battle styles need to be learned to level up characters. Cloud, Jett, Sephiroth and Tidus are your basic fighters who rush in and either pound away or dodge and create openings. But each excels in different fields. Terra, Cloud of Darkness, Ultimicia and Firion sit back from a distance but each do so differently. Cecil, Bartz and the Warrior of Light are more balanced (or limited depending on your POV) with attacks so attack knowledge and fight strategies are needed. And so on and so forth. Plus its fun leveling up this way. I kind of hope future RPGs from squarenix use this battle system. And yeah, I was hoping for some Edge or Shadow. *sigh... maybe they'll be DLCs.
And I like it when Disgaea games go PSP. You can then use the powersave feature of your PSP when you get tired but your crazy enough to try to get to the 100th floor of the item world in your item! I still don't get how console users do it.... without cheating.

Man what a cover. Though I'm more interested in an definitive artbook of George Kamitani's work. Yeah, that's a reference if I ever saw one. Again with the setting being 100% Japanese folklore.
La Pucelle makes a comeback. Well, you knew it was going to happen eventually. But I'm wondering when they're going to release 'Little Princess' and 'Angel's Present'. Those were the follow-ups to the series that I WANTED to play. But I don't know if NIS USA can be trusted anymore with localization. Because they've been seriously sucking. Take some lessons from Atlus. YOU HEAR ME NIS??? But good to see it getting another chance at life. Now the question is will they port it over?
Didn't expect to see a follow-up to 'Okami'. Should prove interesting.

From the title I was wondering if for some reason they made a Now and Then, Here and There game. Hmm.. I wonder if one ever got made where you control Shu to take down Hellywood.
Anyway, I loved the original Okami. It's one of my favorite games on the PS2, so I really hope the original creators/producers can get behind the sequel, even though I'll never play it due to not having a DS.

Definitely excited for Okamiden; at least the guy directing it had enough enthusiasm for the series to create a demo for the sole purpose of trying to get the title greenlit.
As for Dissidia, blegh. I have better things to do with my money than play a mediocre fighting game that's too obsessed with looking "sophisticated". I would say Sakaguchi is crying somewhere, but he probably has the common sense to just not care.

Tales of VS. will most likely turn out better than Dissidia (probably not, FF fans outnumber Tales fans like a virus) if it ever comes here for many RPGers. It's got a much more unique premise mixing all the worlds of Tales heroes together. And it has better character analysis.
I can say I don't give a rat's toosh about Dissidia. It is just another shameful excuse for Square to cash in on the hordes of fans, and since Crisis Core was soooooo amazing (sarcasm), telling everyone to skip Dissidia is fruitless. I won't play it though, Mana Khemia 2 has got my interest. Don't get me wrong, I love the FF series, but the magic died out for me some time after the otaku started worshipping every FF7-related game Nomura wouldn't stop spewing out every other month.

I agree with this and the article. I do plan on getting a PSP to play it eventually. I still like the fact that the older Amano characters FINALLY get their due. It always bugged the hell out of me that characters from VII onward always took center stage in cameos and crossover games (Ehrgeiz, Chocobo Racing, Kingdom Hearts, Idataki Street Special). And the sad reality is people seem to relate more to Nomura's Anime style designs and 3D models than Unconventional Amano artwork and sprites.
I got the soundtrack mostly for the cool Amano artwork, but it's so mediocre. It has to be, by far, the most mediocre feature of the game. A game celebrating 20 years of FF and no Uematsu? Really? They couldn't even get Kenji Ito as his FF Arrangements for spinoff games have always been great to listen to.
And speaking of the character selection. The article here talks about how having just a sole hero and villain represent the first 10 FF games (and two bonus characters) despite being equal across the board of FF games, it seems rather lacking in diversity to the FF universe as a whole, at least as far as heroes go. Most of the heroes are sword wielders of some kind. Yeah Onion Knight is maybe a small nod to some of the job classes. But they all seem roughly the same to me with different variants of speed and power. Like the equivalent of playing a Capcom fighter with nothing but the shotos. Where are the monks, and summoners, and dragoons that can offer completely different playstyles?
And going back to the music, it's like the same thing. There's MORE to FF than just the battle themes. The most creative remix from the OST to me, is the FFI Dungeon theme used as a fighting theme. It's like they started out with an idea for the soundtrack but then just said "Screw it" and just tossed in Battle themes. They even REUSED original music for games VII and up like they just didn't want to try AT ALL. Seriously, the soundtrack is such a let down it pisses me off.

|Maybe a Dissidia sequel can use the B-stories in each game. I imagine Yuna/Seymour, Balthier/Dr. Cid, pairings like that. The non-lead characters have more variety, so we'd see a lot more different combat styles(like Yuna as Summoner and Balthier as a shooter). I can't say I'm familiar with every FF game, but don't most of them have B-hero/villains who can be paired up?

I'm really getting sick of the argument about Dissidia being a letdown because of a lack of support characters. This game is supposed to be a celebration of sorts for the Final Fantasy franchise of the last 20 years! Therefore, it makes perfect sense that the main hero and villan of each game take center stage considering that the games were based around them in the first place. Besides, there is another big reason why support characters can't be included in this game aside from their portraits appearing in relics and other accessories: memory capacity. SQUARE-ENIX had already pushed this game to its limit with everything they threw in there. Adding more characters would've caused considerable slowdown issues.
The review also mentioned something about characters people are unlikely to remember. Guess what? BLAME NINTENDO OF AMERICA!!! It's not OUR fault that the big N didn't do enough to promote their RPG line back then. It's also not our fault that Final Fantasy II & III got shafted for a NA release because Nintendo wanted to put more focus on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It's also not our fault that Final Fantasy V didn't get a release because of differences between Squaresoft and Nintendo! Let's also not forget that we believed that Final Fantasy IV was Final Fantasy II and Final Fantasy VI was Final Fantasy III! Then, when Final Fantasy VII came out, we had to endure being called a bunch of gullible retards by the hardcore fans for believing what Nintendo put us through!
Yes, the Final Fantasy games got their just due by Nintendo years later on GBA and DS, but the scars are still there for the people who aren't knowledgeable in true Final Fantasy lore. So, it's not fair to say that the characters are unlikely to be remembered when Nintendo's corporate policies were to blame.

By a 22-point margin yesterday, Gov. Chris Christie got the landslide win he was craving.
Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (NJ-06) announced federal funding for the cleanup of lakes and waterways affected by Superstorm Sandy in Monmouth and Middlesex Counties.
Last week, we spoke with Ed Jarrett, whose Sandy Castle just broke the Guinness World Record for tallest sand castle. It was a proud moment for Ed and for all of us on the Jersey Shore.
This black beauty has been named Sandy, and is the only cat at the Monmouth County SPCA who hasn't been reunited with its owner since she got lost in the storm a year ago. Please help Sandy find a new home!
A year ago, neighbors came together to help neighbors in need after Sandy and last night's Light Up New Jersey event showed that the strength of the residents of New Jersey and their commitment to help their neighbors hasn't weakened.
The Mental Health Association of Monmouth County (MHA) continues to help people FOR FREE with their emotional recovery since Sandy struck a year ago. They have also set up Sandy Wellness Counseling Centers in Keansbury, Manasquan and Red Bank.
One year ago today, the unbelievable became our reality and one year later the world is still upside down for so many of our neighbors.
As the anniversary of the day that changed everything for so many people along the Jersey Shore arrives, you may be trying to figure out what to do to respectfully commemorate the date.
The Starfish Project was created as a way to help keep your kids from being retraumatized leading up the anniversary of the superstorm. Look for "anniversary reactions" among your family, and use this great step-by-step guide and wide range of services still available to help you:
We all went through Sandy, but the range of emotions we feel now is as varied and random as the extent of the damage Sandy brought to our lives.
Superstorm Sandy, to many New Jerseyans, meant some minor damage and a few cold nights in the dark. For thousands of other residents, however, the struggle has lasted much longer.
The Seaside Boardwalk Fire's effect on the 2014 tourism season is worrying local merchants, who dread the possibility of two slow summers.

Hi guys,
I have some problems of figures side by side.
Image 1
Image 2 (the ideal mode)
Image 3 (corresponding to the code)
Thanks a lot!
Is this a one-time occasion where you need a text figure and a margin figure side by side or will you figures always come in pairs? Should the figures be able to float like standard figures or should they be fixed?
New German Q&A site about TeX: http://texwelt.de/wissen
Thanks for your reply, Cgnieder.
It' not one-time stuff. I need to place two or three figures side by side many times but not in every case. It's better to adopt float figures, I guess, since the paper has not done yet.
If I move the page layout codes, the overlapping would disppear. However I have to keep these layout codes.

Click here to print the obituary below
Mary Elizabeth (Nugent) Roberts(1924 - 2012)
Mary Elizabeth Nugent Roberts, 88, of Radnor, died Thursday evening (Dec. 27, 2012) at Wexner Heritage House in Columbus.
She was born March 25, 1924, to the late William Michael and Kathleen (Ryan) Nugent. She was also preceded in death by her brother, William Nugent.
Mary had a deep spiritual commitment to her faith as a Catholic, which guided and informed her throughout her extraordinary life. She had vivid, clever humor enjoyed by her friends that continued to amuse caregivers even in her final days.
She grew up in Sioux City, Iowa, where she met her future husband, Capt. Edgar Roberts, while he was stationed nearby for training during
World War II
. Edgar went overseas to war as a B-17 pilot, and during that time, Mary earned her first degree, a B.A. in English from Briar Cliff College. After the war, she began her marriage to Edgar that was to last until his death more than 54 years later. The adventure and extraordinary productivity of her marriage began as Mary moved from the city life she knew to life on the Roberts farm in Radnor. She not only learned the vigor of farm life, but also brought to both her family and the Radnor community her commitment to excellence in education that was so deep a part of her for her entire life.
While raising five children and managing her part of the farm activities such as hand-making clothes and preserving farm-grown foods, Mary was able to earn her Master Degree in Guidance and Counseling from The
Ohio State University
and at the same time pursue her career in education that included teaching at Radnor High School and Buckeye Valley High School, administration as Assistant Director for Student Services at OSU, and guidance counseling for the Delaware City Schools and Buckeye Valley. She also donated her professional skills to the community serving on the Buckeye Valley Board of Education, the Delaware Mental Health Board, the Advisory Committee of the Delaware City-County Joint Vocational School, and numerous state committees appointed to study various means of improving education state-wide.
Mary's stubborn insistence upon excellence in her own life was instilled in all aspects of her children's lives. As one example, with respect to the education that she cherished, that commitment produced in her children five undergraduate degrees and four master degrees. That same stubborn insistence had an immeasurably positive effect upon the numerous students and young people with whom she worked. Many of those students cite Mary's influence as a significant factor in positive choices that they have made throughout their lives.
Mary is survived by her five children, Thomas Allen (Joan) Roberts, Mary (Tom) Fernald, Daniel Edgar Roberts, John Emery (Tammy) Roberts, and Joseph Nugent Roberts; seven grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; her sister, Kathleen Nugent Lowndes; and the innumerable people whose lives she improved through her life-work. Those who survive Mary admire her for her care of people, her insistence upon quality, and her countless contributions to her community, which is a better place as a result of her well-lived life.
A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 3, 2013, at St. Mary Catholic Church in Delaware with the Rev. James P. Black officiating. Burial will follow in Prospect Cemetery. Friends may call from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Stofcheck-Ballinger Funeral Home, Prospect, where a Rosary Service will be held at 7 p.m.
Memorial gifts may be made to the Heinzerling Foundation, 1800 Heinzerling Dr., Columbus, OH 43223-3698.
Condolences and remembrances may be expressed at
Published in The Delaware Gazette on Dec. 31, 2012

Bulgarian, German Jailed in Notorious Maybach Trial
A German and a Bulgarian army officer have been sentenced to four years in jail for stealing a vintage World War II tank and attempting to thieve another.
Sliven Military Court decided on Wednesday to send for four years in jail Thomas Gmainer, 36, and the Bulgarian army officer Aleksey Petrov from the Yambol Military Unit.
The other defendant, 67-year old German national Matheus Mayer, was delivered a three-year suspended sentence with five years on probation.
Gmainer and Petrov will also have to pay EUR 1 M in damages to the Defense Ministry, whose property the tanks are.
In November 2007 the two Germans, together with the Bulgarian army officer dug up the Second World War German tank, which laid half buried since World War II near Bulgaria's southeastern border with Turkey.
In December the suspects tried to steal another Maybach from the same region near the town of Yambol but were arrested by the police.
The two German citizens were later released on bail, and at the end of February, 2008 disappeared mysteriously from the Tundzha Hotel in the city of Yambol, leaving behind all of their clothes and other belongings.
They have been detained in Germany with an European Arrest Warrant issued at the request of the Military Prosecutor's Office in the southeast Bulgarian city of Sliven, but were not extradited to Bulgaria and were tried in their absence.

- » Sunny Beach Shooting 'Done by Criminal Gang'
- » Escaped Prisoner Detained in Bulgaria's Silistra After Shootout with Police
- » IS Group Suspected of Carrying out Terror Attack at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport
- » Turkish President Condemns Ataturk Airport Terror Attack
- » Death Toll Rises to 36 in Istanbul's Ataturk Airport Suicide Bombing
I think the tanks have some sort of collector value (not scrap metal) therefore the 1M.
But if this is the case then the military should have dug them up years ago and either sold them or sent them to the museum....
