Chapter OneIf you were to ask me to describe this book in only a few words, I'd call it "A Brief History." But that's not to say that this is a history book—not by any stretch of the imagination. There are probably enough of those written to fill a small library, and since so few of them are even accurate, I see no point in trying to write another. It's the details that were left out of them that are important, and that's why I've incorporated the word "History" to describe what's written in these pages. I intend to fill in those blanks, to explain what scholars, historians, scientists and philosophers have all gotten wrong. And what this book is, essentially, is an explanation—and what better place to start than the beginning. Let's go back a ways—all the way back to when the world was new and drawing its first breath in an infinite dark womb filled with nothing but silence and mystery. How about we start with the Big Bang theory? It certainly was a good theory to say to least, and not entirely inaccurate. It's been told that an immense explosion occurred, which involved elements and gasses of unknown origin and composition. Only part of that is true. There was an explosion, yes, but the element has been known to the human race since the dawn of creation. And as most of us have come to realize, secrets have been kept since mankind has first developed the power of speech. The ability to speak has always been our greatest defense. And as history has proven time and time again, it can just as easily be our undoing. Unfortunately, as with any weapon, in the wrong hands it can lead to destruction—or in our case, extinction. But now I'm getting ahead of myself.
There is a distant planet, the name of which—as we've been told—can only be pronounced properly with a forked tongue, but has come to be referred to as Logos. Planet Logos contains the element that sparked our galaxy into being. Whether or not this planet still exists is unbeknownst to our species, but the proof of its existence is undeniably evident. Everything from the snowcapped mountain peaks to the algae coated abyssal trenches in the deepest regions of our oceans have originated from this one single clump of indestructible metal. How this is possible has never been determined, but the truth of it is incontrovertible.
There are two barbaric and brutal races of creature that have been feuding over this metal for millennia, and for either race to have possession of this element would grant them an unfathomable power over the other. This is why they have made it their life's mission to acquire this metal, and why they would sacrifice their own bloodlines to obtain it. In fact, to obtain the power that this metal wields would grant any species the ability to become the most supreme rulers in the universe. And these two species—the Volkuros and the Gruegans—would prefer to face annihilation than to learn to live in harmony, even though the planet Logos holds enough of this substance for every living thing in the universe to have a share, and still leave enough for generations to come. The Logos is a living entity and a renewable resource, therefore it replenishes itself. But species like these do not have it in their nature to share power. So they waged a war on one another—a battle that's lasted almost as long as time itself.
But don't assume that the planet Logos is a beautiful place just because I mentioned that one of its minerals was the source of our creation. The surface of the planet is likely to be the deadliest thing that any creature has ever set eyes upon. There are oceans of silicone based acids that could kill any living thing with just a single vapor, and almost the entire surface of the planet is liquid. The only thing that even resembles land masses are vast clusters of long, thin metallic reeds that float upon the calm and dormant sea of liquid metal. These reeds are also a living entity, and they are the planet's main defense mechanism. At the slightest sign of movement, these reeds jump to life and can slash through even the toughest of metals with just the slightest flick. Needless to say, the surface of this planet is unapproachable. Even if one was to successfully penetrate the lethally gaseous atmosphere, and then manage to maneuver through the vile mesh of twisted metal vines that protect its surface, the sea itself would then consume anything that's reached within a hundred yards of its precious compound. While the metal is in its liquid form, it is a powerfully corrosive acid, making it impossible to handle. Only once the metal has cooled and solidified can it be touched, and to retrieve a sample can only be achieved with technology far greater than our own. Somehow, the Gruegans had managed to collect a portion of it, but were then attacked by the Volkuros while escaping the planets deadly atmosphere.
Now, I know what you must be thinking. How could I, or anyone else, have this much information about a planet that's so far beyond our solar system, which cannot be reached or seen by any means at our disposal? There are two answers to that question. One: the Volkuros and the Gruegans have occupied our planet for many years, and they've brought the metal right here onto our soil, where they've continued their ongoing battle and fought for possession of the mineral. And two: the metal has ended up in our own possession many times throughout history and revealed its secrets to us, showing us evidence that there are things in this universe that we've only just begun to comprehend. And when I say "showing us evidence," I mean that the metal—which is also known as the Logos—reflects images of the places it's been, the people who have been in contact with it, and has captivated us with the mysteries that lie deep within its remarkable composition, waiting to be explored, begging to be unlocked. Although the glittering surface of the metal has shown us all of that and more, it is not a mirrored image, and it never ever reflects even a hint of what's going on around it in the present. That is how we'd first learned about the planet and its deadly atmosphere, by observing the images projected by the metal. That is also how we've come to know of the existence of the Volkuros and Gruegans, long before they ever revealed themselves to us. Now you may be wondering why they would reveal themselves to us at all. The Logos has this peculiar ability to disappear at will, and where it will reemerge—and whose hands it will be in when it does—can never be determined. Therefore, to work with us, rather than against us, has broadened their ability to search for it; and in the process, it's given them a greater understanding of our species. To understand us is to conquer us. This is a lesson that we've come to learn the hard way. As for our knowledge of the Volkuros, the Gruegans, the Logos, and the planet from which it's derived, we've learned all of this from our dealings with the Gruegans. For many years they'd deceived us into believing that we have a common enemy—the Volkuros—and that they would help us to fight against them as a team. They'd promised to leave our planet in peace once we'd helped them to win their war. How naïve we were to trust them, and how foolish we were to give them the ammunition that they needed to defeat us.
Roswell ... Hangar 18 ... Area 51—are all places and events in our history that mark occasions when we've had contact with these creatures. And those are just the few names that have been carelessly leaked to the general public; the records of which were altered and later believed to be fraudulent rumors. But the truth is there are hundreds of other such encounters. These creatures have visited our planet long before we inhabited it, and there is only a small group of people who know this to be a fact. Those people are members of an underground society, and they've been sworn to secrecy upon penalty of death. The people I am referring to have nothing to do with the U.S. government—or any other government for that matter. No government in the entire world is aware of the existence of this society. These groups are comprised of the most unlikely members—average citizens for the most part—people who would never be suspected of being privy to such information. There are monks, scientists, archeologists, chemists, mathematicians and teachers, just to name a few; people who have something valuable to contribute to society. The idea is this: if the world were ever at war, and the population is diminished to only a small handful, these are the kind of people that will be able to form a new generation that can continue the world where it left off. Learning a trade is a very simple thing, but the trade must be passed down by those who have learned it before us, otherwise that skill could be lost or forgotten.
By now you've probably guessed that I'm a member of that society, and that by telling you this information I'll be putting myself in grave danger. You're more right than you can possibly imagine. As I write these words, I will be hunted—not only by my own organization, but also by the Volkuros and Gruegans. It is only a matter of time before I am discovered. So for obvious reasons, I won't be able to tell you my real name. But for the sake of introductions and formality, you can call me Belvedere. And as for my organization, let's just call it "The Post."
Now, you're probably wondering why I'd go to such great lengths to reveal this to you, and to put myself in jeopardy, and to risk everything to expose my organization. Exposing the true nature of this group is exactly the point. It is necessary for you to understand what my organization truly is. You see, the Volkuros and the Gruegans are evil, monstrous, barbaric races; but their heinous and malevolent acts of cruelty and violence pale in comparison to the things that we've done. The truth is that we are the monsters, and it's time that everyone knows the crimes that we've committed, the sins that we're responsible for, and the atrocities that we've unleashed upon the world. A war is upon us, and we are all a part of it. But in order to fight a war, you must first know what you are fighting for, and why. And if you're holding this book in your hands, then I've succeeded in completing the first step, which is to arm you with that knowledge. These are the facts as best as I can dictate them. I leave it in your hands to have the courage to pass it on before it's too late.
I'm not asking for your sympathy or pity, because I don't deserve it. We are to be held accountable for our actions and punished for our crimes against humanity. I'm not looking for forgiveness either. What I really want is retribution. I want vengeance on those who have wronged us all. But more importantly, I want for you to want the same. You need to be prepared for what's coming, and the best I can do is to show you the face of your enemies. My organization is responsible for plaguing us with disease and sickness, greed and malice, death and dishonor ... but worst of all they've deafened us with their silence. I will have my say in this once and for all. I will shed light on those who have been left to dwindle in darkness for centuries. I will come forth and sacrifice myself for those who have perished in our wake. I will speak for those who cannot—who will not. After all, mankind's greatest and deadliest weapon is and always has been the power of speech.
There will be those who will wish to stop us. And I must say "us" now, because we are all a part of this history, like it or not. There will be those who will try to pass these words off as fiction, who will continue to lie to us and try to convince us that these things don't exist. Well I say let them try. The more you continue to read these words, the deeper you will immerse in the truth of things, and the more you will become a weapon; a tool in bringing our oppressors to their knees. And by passing this book—this knowledge—on to those who will take part in our goal, the closer we will come to victory. We mustn't hide from the truth any longer. That's what they want. It's what makes them strong. It's the fabric that binds them together as a system that works against us and tries to make us crumble by subjecting us to their lies. We must not allow them to patronize us by pulling that fabric over our eyes. I'm offering these pages to you as a means of bringing us all a step closer to the truth. What you choose to do with this gift is up to you of course. I can only show you the way. But it is you that has to lead. The time for retribution is upon us.
Chapter TwoIn order for you to understand what the Posts are, and what goes on there, you'll first need to know who the players are. Each Post is comprised of a few different squadrons. Five commanding officers are assigned to each section, all wearing standard military uniforms, adorned with the appropriate stars, stripes and badges in accordance to rank. Although these commanders have legitimate status and are listed as government special ops, this is only a façade to grant them access to all military documents and facilities. But they are technically not military personnel. Any information, progress or discoveries that are made within the Post are reported to them and are then tagged and categorized as evidence. Those are the people who are most feared within our organization, because they're the ones who get the lucky job of keeping tabs on us.
Then there are the computer technicians. They monitor any and all radio, television and satellite signals, and filter codes and transmissions that may have been sent by EBE's (Extraterrestrial Biological Entities) over our own airwaves. They then intercept those messages to interpret whether or not they are intended as threats. Their duties are probably the most crucial at our facilities, as they've successfully prevented numerous attempts on our lives. We also have a medical staff that deals with cataloguing all of the different species that we've encountered—and there have been many. Their job is to isolate and break down the DNA structures of those species to determine how they differ from our own. This means, of course, autopsies, dissection and experimentation.
Then we have the lab technicians, who focus on analyzing those DNA strands to determine whether or not there are any components that can be used to benefit the human race. But that's not all they've done. Those guys have produced some of the scariest things known to man, such as HIV, Ebola, variations of SARS, and biological weapons of all sorts. And that's just to name a few. The majority of the testing of their research is done on animals, but when they want to try it out on human subjects they usually prey upon some poor, small, starving village in Africa or Ethiopia. These are people that my organization considers to be "expendable" and "easily contained." That aspect of my work has played a significant part in why I have decided to get this information out to the public. It's gone far beyond the point of "out of hand" when we start testing these things on our own race, and then make up cock-and-bull stories to cover it up. And worse yet, the public always tend to accept these lies while thousands of people die as a result of our arrogance. It has got to stop.
And last but not least are those who we call "surface dwellers." These are paranormal investigators that spend much of their time in the field, retrieving evidence of alien encounters, and then covering up situations when people either claim to have seen UFO's, or been abducted. It's up to them to pose as members of the FBI, or other branches of the government, in order to obtain all recorded data from the authorities, and then inform certain tabloid magazines of their findings, so that the information then comes across as comical nonsense, instead of cold, hard facts. That's where I fit in, most of the time. I say most of the time because we alternate our duties occasionally, so that no one gets stuck underground for over a certain period of time. Some of the guys I've worked with have spent over a year in the Post without ever seeing sunlight, or having any contact with the outside world at all. I've seen good men (family men with wives and children) go from cool and collective to trigger happy psychotics before their terms are up.
Just picture for a moment what it must be like to spend that length of time in such tight quarters, deep underground, eating the same food every day and seeing only the same handful of people on a regular basis. Cabin fever doesn't even begin to explain the mental trauma that we endure; and that's not even the worst of it. Then we have to live with the burden and guilt in knowing what sort of atrocities we're responsible for, including the spread of disease, the biological warfare that we've unleashed, and the countless lives that they've consumed, and never being able to tell a soul. And still, that's just the easy part. Now imagine what it means to know that we are not alone, that we are constantly threatened and at war with a hostile race that could annihilate us at any moment. Imagine trying to sleep at night after picking apart the body of an extraterrestrial while staring into its cold black eyes, knowing what malevolence lies behind them in that overactive, over imaginative brain of theirs. I tell you, if there is a Hell, it can't be much worse than this.

Feel free to email The Mission Church and we'll get right back to you!
What to expect:
We care more about what God thinks about our services than anyone else, and believe that we exist to bring Him glory! We worship Him through music, prayer, monthly communion, and the study of God's Word. Each Sunday we sing a mix of old and new songs, and invite our kids to join us! Our songs are usually accompanied by guitar, piano, and various other instruments.
What to Expect:
God's Word
We love and trust the Bible! It is the foundation for everything that we do here.

We encourage you to bring a Bible (or Bible app) with you! If you'd like to hear some of our teaching before you visit, check out our sermon archive here.
What to expect:
We love kids, and thank God for "squirmy" church services! We want our kids to regularly observe adults worshiping God and learning from His Word.

Then, before our sermon time, we dismiss the littlest kids (Nursery: 0-3yrs, and Sunday School: 4yrs-2nd Grade) for optional age-specific Bible lessons.
What to Expect:
Be Real.
Our Sunday services have a relaxed atmosphere where people can come and just be themselves. We warmly welcome anyone from any religious or cultural background to join us on Sunday.

An all-round winner
Ko Samui is so big, we've split it up into areas, select one of the below for detailed accommodation and food listings in that area. Sights and general overviews for Ko Samui as a whole can be found via the icons above. Don't know where to start? Read an overview of Ko Samui's different areas.
Travelling from Chaweng Noi southwards, you'll pass by a couple of smaller bays before arriving in Lamai proper. In order from north to south, you'll hit Coral Cove first, followed by Thong Ta Kien (also known as Crystal Bay). We like Thong Ta Kien Bay -- we like it a lot. Clear waters, beautiful sand and enough shade -- even on busy days.
But it is more than just the sand sea mix. Thong Ta Kien's location is excellent. It is far enough away from the "scene" to be quiet, but not too far that a night out requires a level of planning akin to ascending Everest.
The sand is dust-like, white, and squeaks up between your toes and quite reasonable snorkelling can be found offshore amid huge boulders that protrude from the clear water.
Accommodation wise, there is a range of options -- certainly enough to satisfy most budgets, even if the cheapest of the cheap leans towards dire. While it is true that if you're on a tight budget, perhaps a day trip is a better idea, those in the mid-range to more expensive budgets should be well-satisfied.
Most of the restaurants are attached to the various resorts, though you're just a short ride away from Lamai or Chaweng Beach. A few high end restaurants take advantage of the views from the Ring Road above Chaweng Noi and Coral Cove, especially near the lookout point and at Elephant Rock, a huge boulder on a bend next to the road, midway between Chaweng and Lamai, that offers sweeping views across the bay.
This area does gets a fair flow of daytrippers, and not without cause. If you're not planning on staying here, at least try to visit on a day-trip -- that's something very easy to do as it's a 30-second stroll to the main road.
These three small bays are mostly void of vendors so make for a more relaxed day, although you may want to bring some snacks and water if you don't want to buy from resorts. An added plus is that one can snorkel in peace without being ridden over by a jet ski.

We see vairly frequently a situation where a purchase order receipt is posted and appears to process correctly. The PO lines are updated correctly and the inventory is updated correctly. The inventory transactions are available in inquiry and smartlist views. However, when you do an inquiry on the PO receipt, the detail lines on the receipt are missing. The total dollars on the document are correct - all the header and footer information is correct. Only the inventory detail lines are missing. And just to be through, the lines are actually missing from the PO receipt SQL tables so it is not a view issue.
Has anyone seen this behavior? Any idea what might cause it and is there a fix for it?
RRedman,What Microsoft Dynamics product line are you using? Looking forward to hearing from you.
We're on Dynamics GP version 9, service pack 4.
Thanks for letting me know. I have now moved this post to the Microsoft Dynamics GP forums. This will get your question in front of more Microsoft Dynamics GP users. If you have any questions please let me know.
Thanks - I'm new to this forum so I'm learning.
NP hopefully the community will be able to help you here.
How do I see the Dynamics GP Forum specifically? I haven't gotten emails about any responses and would like to be able to search that area also.
The Microsoft Dynamics GP forums are located here: http://community.dynamics.com/forums/32.aspx . You have a couple of options to navigate to the Microsoft Dynamics GP forums. Since this post is located in the GP forums you can go to the top of this page and in the cookie crumbs click Microsoft Dynamics GP. Here are the repo navigation steps from the community home page: Community home> Click on the Microsoft Dynamics GP community> click product forums or from the Community home you can click on forums link under the Microsoft Dynamics GP community.
You should be receiving notifications every time there has been a response to post your active in or following. It looks like no one has responded besides me at this time. But if you received a e-mail from my last response everything is working as designed. To search the forums we currently only have one search option and that is located in the upper right chrome. This search currently searches across all blog all forums. We have a new search coming with our next release that will allow for you to only search forums or blog or people or everything. I hope this information helps let me know if you have any questions.
This sounds pretty strange and is not a known issue that I have heard of before. If something went wrong with posting these, I would expect that there would also be issues with the inventory quantities and PO's, but you're saying that's not the case.
Can you confirm that you can duplicate the issue on another computer while logged in as 'sa'? (Or even better, directly on the SQL Server, if you have GP installed there?) Also, if you have any customizations or modified forms, can you turn them off and test?
If you can duplicate the issue, can you check the tables in SQL to see if the data is actually there? POP30310 is the table that would have the line items for posted POP receipts. I would also check the corresponding unposted table (POP10310) to make sure they are not there.
You say you see this frequently, so some receipts are showing up correctly? Is there any pattern you can identify as to what is different about the receipts that are showing up correctly vs. ones that are not?
Hi Victoria, I have also seen this problem in my environment, I have Dynamics GP 10.0 with SP3, we could not replicate the error and we have not found the necessary conditions for this to happen. The Item lines disappear from POP10310 table, but these lines are not in the table POP30310, I have only the header in the table POP30300
It makes me feel better to know I'm not alone out there. And to be honest, I worked for 20+ years as a Great Plains Dynamics master certified consultant and I've seen it happen at other client sites occassionally. I always assumed that it was caused by an undisclosed posting glitch but I can say without qualification that a posting glitch is not happening here and we see it happening in 65 different databases.
Have you talked to GP support about it? Perhaps they have had this reported before and at least can offer some steps to track this down?
I have not talked to support regarding this lately. It's probably time to escalate it to them. I had talked to them in the past without success on this subject but it was quite a while ago.
Thanks for your help.
Hello, i have the same problem and we can't replicate it yet. The records in POP10310 dissapear randomly without any pattern. Do you know where can we investigate it???
I too have seen this happen. It never happened frequently enough to chase down. About once a year or so, everything is posted ok, so we never spent the time to look.
Obviously, something is lurking out there in the shadows.
Kind regards,
I am having the same problem. No rhyme or reason to the issue. It is happening in all 4 of my companies. I also notice that if check links is run that error messages exist on the Purchasing Receipt Line - "All line items for receipt XXXXXXX were removed because the receipt no longer exists" and the Purchasing Receipt Line Quantities - "Line item XXXXX on Receipt XXXXXX has been re-created". Any help with this error will be greatly appreciated.

Construction is scheduled to begin Thursday
on a $6.5 million cotton gin in Noxubee County.
Bogue Chitto Gin Inc. was created by a group of 25 cotton farmers from Aliceville, Ala., and from Lowndes, Clay and Noxubee counties in Mississippi.
Rodney Mast, a member of the investment group, told The Commercial Dispatch that the project will create four full-time jobs and 20 to 25 temporary jobs, during harvest season.
The gin separates the leaf trash, seeds and stems from the cotton, leaving a pure product. The seeds are kept and sold for cattle feed and cooking oil.
Once the cotton grows to maturity, it is harvested, usually beginning around the first of September through mid-October.

Working on a sea change in New England's fishery management
Ocean health along the U.S. East coast
Atlantic cod has been a mainstay of the New England economy and an icon of regional culture since the early American colonies. Today, 14 of 20 groundfish populations are either overfished or experiencing overfishing, including dinnertime favorites cod and flounder, and this decline is hurting the region's marine environment and economy. Our work in the region has helped change the way this fishery is managed so that fish populations can rebuild, and in turn, sustain a more productive fishing industry and stronger coastal economies.
On May 1, 2010, the National Marine Fisheries Service implemented a new management system for groundfish in New England. It established 17 fishermen-run collectives, called sectors. Sectors were pioneered by fishermen as voluntary, cooperative and community-based, and were designed to protect fleet diversity and coastal communities. The new management system operates on three simple premises:
- It implements science-based catch limits to prevent overfishing and rebuild fish populations.
- It incorporates monitoring so fishermen and regulators know exactly how much fish is being caught, and as a result, fishing stops once catch limits have been reached.

The final fantasy series have all had great story lines/plots and this one makes no exception either. (Note there are some spoilers in this part of the review). I will just give you a brief summary of FFX in a paragraph or two. The main character who you play with is a blitzball player named Tidus. Now blitzball is a combination of soocer and football, but underwater. How they breathe down there while playing blitzball is a mystery even to me. While playing in a blitzball tournament, Sin starts attacking Zanarkand(The city which Tidus lives in). Sin is the bad guy in this game and he looks like a giant mutated whale with a screwed up looking tail. Auron comes and tells Tidus that they both must go toward Sin. When Auron and Tidus get close to Sin, Sin forms a shiny hole that sucks everything up. Auron grabs Tidus(who is holding on for dear life) and tosses him up into the vacuum hole and says "this is your story".
Tidus finds himself in foggy swamp and is very cold so he decides to make a fire. Tidus, after making the fire takes a nap and when he wakes up Al bhed come (people that speak a very weird language). The leader, Rikku, comes near tidus and punches him in the gut and Tidus becomes unconscious. When Tidus wakes up he finds himself aboard a ship and the Al Bhed force him to dive underwater with Rikku and activate some old ruin. After Tidus has completed that, he and Rikku talk. While Tidus and Rikku are talking about zanarkand and how it is destroyed, Sin comes out of the ocean and attacks the ship. Tidus is thrown overboard and finds himself on the shore of Besaid. On the shore Tidus finds a bunch of blitzball players and swims towards them them. Tidus introduces himself and the captain of the blitball team introduces himself as Wakka. Tidus and Wakka get along fine so wakka decides to take Tidus to Besaid village.
In Besaid village everyone is worried because the summoner hasn't come back from the cloister of trials (basically a puzzle that involves rearranging speres). Tidus really doesn't care about the traditions of only guardians going in so he steps inside himself. He gets to the exit and Wakka follows him to and they meet with the summoner(Yuna) and the other two guardians (Kimahri and Lulu). After Yuna has completed a cloister of trial in a temple she receives an aeon (a magical creature handy for fighting tough enemies and bosses). Wakka explains that the summoner and the guardian (who guard the summoner) are on a pilgrimage to Zanarkand to bring peace to Spira and kill Sin. As soon as Tidus hears this he wants to join the pilgrimage to Zanarakand to see if there is a way he can get back to his own time. This is when the journey actually begins. All the way through this game was an emotional roller coaster and a very fun game. FFX has a phenomenal story line, but the only thing I didn't like and probably others was that the ending was very sad and unexpected.
FFX definitely sets the bar for the graphics of RPGs for its time. With great 3D character and excellent character facial expression you can clearly tell the Square has worked long and hard on this RPG. The gameplay graphics is the biggest improvement over previous FF games. Before in previous FF games only the cutscenes looked excellent quality now the gameplay graphics (which you see most of the time) also looks gorgeous. There is no doubt that graphics is the strongest part of the game.
Once again just like previous games square manages to make a unique and interesting cast of characters. There are 7 main characters in all. Each character is unique and has different backgrounds, fighting style, looks, personalities, and voices. In the begging if the game you will start out with Wakka, Kimahri, Lulu, Yuna, and Tidus. Later on in the game you will pick up two more characters which you have previously played with. You will pick up Auron after a quarter of the game and will pick up Rikku after half of the game. The development of all the character is excellent. Near the end of the game you would think all 7 of them are one happy family (not really though). As you progress through the game all the characters reveal their pasts and you fell like you really know them and the development of the two main characters (Yuna and Tidus) is excellent.
The gameplay is like that of traditional RPGs, but fun nonetheless. I will first talk about the battle system first. The battle system is turn-based, as soon as I heard this, I thought this was going to be a bad RPG, but as I progressed through the game I realized that I was wrong about the battle system on so many different levels. It is the simple "you hit me and I hit you" battle system but there is a big twist. When fighting 3v3 your enemies for some reason get more turn then you and when you are facing an enemy 3v1 the enemy will a turn rite after your turn and not 3 consecutive turns for you. When fighting a boss it is really different. The boss gets literally gets 3 turns after one of your characters hits him unless you have casted haste. However, this can all change if your character's speed is higher than that of your enemies.
FFX also features an overdrive attack. Now basically you have to fill up this gauge by damaging enemies, getting damaged by enemies, etc. After this gauge is filled up your reward is that your character unleashes a powerful attack. Not only that, but you can also summon aeons like in previous FF games. Aeons are very powerful and their overdrive is the key to defeating bosses. There are 8 aeons in all. 5 of them you acquire during your journey and 3 of them can be acquired as a sidequest. FFX, like other RPGs, is filled with puzzles. The good thing is none of them are extremely hard and most of them are pretty simple and easy.
Also there are no levels in FFX for you character. There are only Sphere levels and AP points. You obtain Sphere levels by accumulating enough AP points from defeating enemies. You can use your sphere levels to move across the sphere board and learn new skills such as magic.
Now normally I would not review this section but since most RPGs nowadays have extras and stuff to do after you complete the game it only made sense to put this section in. FFX has plenty of sidequest to last you 100 hours. There is tons of stuff to do and collect. After you acquire the airship you can revisit any place you want and get weapons and train for the final fight with Sin. Each character has a legendary weapon located somewhere that can be found as a sidequest and on top of that you can also acquire powerups for each legendary weapon. Aeons are a big part of the extras as well. There are 3 still left to find near the end of the game and they are very powerful. On top of that, there are still many abilities that can be learned for each character. The replay value in this game is high as wellsince you can pretty muc finish this game in around 50 hours and some places you can't go back so it is really fun to go back and fix your previous mistakes. All in all, there are plenty of extras in FFX to keep you playing it.
Final thoughts: FFX is an excellent RPG, while it may be old, it still is one of the best RPGs of all time. I conclude by saying that any person owning a PS2 and not possessing a copy of FFX is committing a crime.It is a definite must own title if you have a PS2 or a PS3.

Very Slick Case - Watch out for Fan Connections Case is very sharp! Everything fits good (full ATX board). Well made & quality. However, the rear case fan connector was disconnected & was buried under the side cable bundle, so it was difficult troubleshooting why the fan would not work. Also, the instructions on the fan connectors was poor. So 1 star off for this.

Comprehensive Description
Sycon ciliatum are marine sponges found world-wide, usually in shallow water, but rarely more than 150 meters deep. They are predominant in temperate regions.
Biogeographic Regions: arctic ocean (Native ); indian ocean (Native ); atlantic ocean (Native ); pacific ocean (Native ); mediterranean sea (Native )

Physical Description
Sycon ciliata are creamy yellow in color and delicate-looking. Their bodies are arranged in the asconoid system, which is a simple tube with no folding of the outer body wall. They range from 1-3cm in height. Hairy, needle-like spines (called spicules) cover their bodies. The spicules surrounding the osculum opening are longer than those at the base of the body. Y-shaped tetraxon calcite spicules lining the spongocoel and triactine spiclules in the walls of the flagellated chambers form the supporting skeleton of the sponge. The spicules appear to lie in a jelly called mesohyl, a structureless jelly containing archaocytes, amoeboid cells, and others.
Internal flagellated tubes are responsible for water current. The tubes are arranged radially and have openings call apopyles. Apopyles open into a central cavity or the spongocoel. The spongocoel leads into the osculum, which has an adjustable diaphragm. The diaphragm is surrounded by large spicules.
Other Physical Features: ectothermic ; heterothermic

Sycon ciliatum live in shallow marine waters, from the intertidal zone out into sublittoral depths. They are found on the underside of rocks in relatively protected areas among bryozoans, hydroids, and other organisms.
Habitat Regions: temperate ; saltwater or marine
Aquatic Biomes: benthic ; reef ; coastal
Other Habitat Features: intertidal or littoral

Trophic Strategy
Sycon ciliatum obtain food by filtering water through choanocytes. Water enters the incurrent canal. The canal is lined with pinacocytes and communicates with the flagellated chambers through small holes, the propsopyles, which open into an internal flagellated tube lined with choanocytes. Food particles are digested intracellularly. Nutrients are transported from choanocytes to other cells through amoeboids in the mesohyl.
Animal Foods: zooplankton
Plant Foods: algae
Other Foods: detritus ; microbes
Foraging Behavior: filter-feeding
Primary Diet: herbivore (Algivore); planktivore ; detritivore
Life History and Behavior
Reproduction occurs mainly sexually. The formation of female gametes occurs from choanocytes. Spermatogenesis occurs in spermatic cysts which form in the mesohyl. These cysts can form when cells of the choanocyte chamber are transformed to spermatogonia through withdrawl of their flagellum and mitosis. Sperm are released into the sea through the osculum. Choanocytes of another sponge trap sperm and retain it in a vacuole. The choanocyte then looses its collar and flagellum. The cell is now called a carrier cell. This cell migrates through the mesohyl to an ovum. The carrier cell enters the cytoplasm of the ovum.
Development of the larva takes place within the parent sponge. The parent sponge nourishes the blastula by means of trophic cells that pass into the blastula. The blastula then turns inside out so the flagella project outwards. Once the amphiblastula with a hollow central cavity, the larvae is set free to swim in the sea. Once the larvae settles, the flagella are withdrawn and the cells form a central mass. A pupae is formed when the external cells flatten and serete spicules. A cavity forms that will be the first flagellated chamber and then the spongocoel. Once this cavity forms, the sponge begins to take on the shape of a cylinder.

Conservation Status
Like all marine life, Sycon ciliatum are affected by water pollution, temperature changes, and changes in water levels.
US Federal List: no special status
CITES: no special status
Relevance to Humans and Ecosystems
This species does not affect humans in a negative manner.
While not reported specifically for Sycon ciliatum, some species of sponges produce toxins that inhibit the growth of surrounding individuals. These toxins are the topic of important research on nerve impulse transmission. Other sponges contain varieties of antibiotic substances and pigments that are important for medicinal purposes.

Sycon ciliatum
Sycon ciliatum is a species of calcareous sponge belonging to the family Sycettidae.
Sponges are marine invertebrates with a jellylike mesohyl sandwiched between two layers of cells. They are filter feeders maintaining a flow of water through their structure which passes out through large openings called oscula. They have a fragile skeleton composed of stiff spicules.
This small purse sponge grows singly or in small groups from a single holdfast. It is up to five centimetres long, fairly stiff, greyish-white and spindle-shaped. The osculum at the tip is fringed with fine spicules.[2] The surface of the sponge appears furry from its covering of fine papillae. The skeleton consists of a tangential layer of triactines and another of tetractines. This species can be distinguished from the rather similar Sycon raphanus by the fact that the choanocyte chambers are not fused but are free from each other.[3]
Distribution and habitat[edit]
Sycon ciliatum is common along the coasts of Europe and occurs on the eastern fringes of the Atlantic Ocean from Scandinavia south to Portugal.[3] It is found low down on the shore and in the neritic zone, amongst seaweed, under stones or in rock pools in areas without strong wave action.[2]

The 31-year-old American was shown on television taking a phone call on the driving range before the start of his third round and immediately left the golf course.
"I received exciting news a short time ago that my wife Kandi has gone into labour with our first child," said Mahan in a statement. "As a result, I have withdrawn from the Canadian Open to return to Dallas.
"Kandi and I are thrilled about this addition to the Mahan family and we look forward to returning to the Canadian Open in the coming years."
Mahan, the winner of five US Tour titles, had shot to the top of the leaderboard with a second round eight-under 64 on Friday good enough for a two-stroke advantage on John Merrick.
Dustin Johnson, who was among the early starters at a rainy Glen Abbey Golf Club, took Mahan's spot at the top the leaderboard, firing a nine-under 63 to join Merrick at 11-under.
"It's good thing that he is going because he is having his first kid and obviously there is no reason why he wouldn't go," Johnson told reporters.
"It's unfortunate that he had to leave, I played with him the last two days and he was playing wonderful golf."
