Magical Starsign
Signs point to "awful control scheme."
Actually, let's amend that initial statement. No, not the "harbinger of gaming doom" part -- that, sadly, may not be hyperbole. But Magical Starsign is far from "cute." It features the ugliest anime-style art I've seen since...well, since I last accidentally stumbled across deviantART. Like most Japanese RPGs, you'll find guys who look like girls and vice versa -- however, this is one instance (perhaps the only case in recorded history?) where it's not because of intentionally androgynous character design.
Other than the high-school-anime-club-quality art, though, Magical Starsign's presentation is surprisingly competent. You'd expect a JRPG based around a group of kids at a magic academy (basically Harry Potter, but 100 percent more Japanese) to be vapid and clichéd. And yes, the requisite character archetypes are all here: tough guy, aloof girl, anthropomorphic rabbit, robot...you get the picture. But the story manages to pull a few surprises out of its seemingly kiddie trappings, with silly segments such as a town of talking pots, a mischievous "hermit lab" dog/crab, and a hilarious (and frighteningly accurate) exposition on the inefficiencies of government bureaucracy. Nintendo's always-sparkling localization gives the story an entertaining extra punch, and given the game's E-rated dialogue, that's an impressive feat.
Yes, everything's in place for a solid addition to the DS' RPG library. But while Magical Starsign gets almost everything right in presentation, it gets almost everything wrong with its control scheme.
In fact, Magical Starsign is just the latest example of an increasingly worrying trend. With the DS and the Wii, developers are taking simple, effective control schemes that have worked for over 20 years and "fixing" them so that they're more "accessible" to people like Japanese grandmothers -- but far less accessible to the people who've been playing games all their life. For example, you can use the D-pad to maneuver your character, so you'd expect the buttons to control your actions, such as talking to townspeople. Nope! The buttons also move your character. This means that you really have no choice but to use the stylus to talk to people. Oh, except for the fact that the stylus isn't quite so accurate when the screen is crowded with characters. Before Magical Starsign, I could probably count the number of times I'd talked to the wrong character in an RPG on one hand. After playing Magical Starsign, that number ballooned by about five hands. And this issue just wouldn't go away, even when I moved the stylus as slowly and carefully as possible. Now, the stylus does work very well with some aspects of the game, such as selecting battle commands. But it would've been far more effective to integrate the "old-school" and "Japanese-grandma" control schemes.
Magical Starsign's battles have potential, as they're not the "attack, rinse, repeat" tedium of many JRPGs. Instead, they revolve around magic, with a pseudo-astrological element based on the position of the planets. Unfortunately, they're designed as if Magical Starsign were a conventional, melee-based RPG. While hand-to-hand strikes are quick and painless, magical attacks are summoned with the typically interminable RPG animated fanfare. Since you'll be using sorcery far more than physical attacks, though, that means you'll also be spending much of the game watching tedious spell animations. And since each character only acquires a handful of spells throughout the game, that means you'll be casting the same spells over and over and over and over and over and over.
The battle aggravation is only amplified by a high encounter rate. Oh, the game does supply you with warp points that, in theory, should allow you to avoid too much fighting -- but you aren't supplied with enough of the necessary items to access all of these warp points until the end of the game, so you'll start running from every encounter just for your own sanity. And that's one of Magical Starsign's most glaring gameplay frustrations -- from the drawn-out battles to traversing the land, just about everything seems to take twice as long as it should.
Despite the long list of frustrations, however, Magical Starsign isn't a totally unenjoyable experience -- due in large part to the charming script -- and it's probably worth playing if you're a DS RPG fan. But Magical Starsign should be looked upon less as an RPG and more as a warning to potential DS and Wii developers: Yes, these new systems offer exciting, different possibilities. But please don't sacrifice old-school playability for unnecessary control schemes.

A report on Wednesday claimed the Catalan giants could be preparing an £8m bid for Cabaye, but with the Magpies ready to fend off all but "silly money" offers for their biggest names, Pardew has warned them not to bother.
He said: "The interest is purely speculative. We have had no contact and certainly no offer, and obviously we wouldn't even consider an offer anywhere near that region."

Once we had given them our money we had our first meeting with our "new store trainer" Judi. I have been in the retail industry for years and know quite a bit about it, minutes into our meeting I started having doubts (remember they had already taken our money, all $95,000.00 of it plus we had to put up another $40,000.00 for rent and opening costs) what she was telling us was, in my mind, common knowledge and some of her information was actually very wrong. I thought "well, that's ok they seem to be the experts so, I'll go along with it", man was I wrong!!
The store opened without a hitch, we did not see great numbers right away but, I know it takes time to get people to know you are there so I didn't sweat it. Weeks turned into months and I watched our sales plummet. As part of the money we had given them, they found our location and negotiated our lease. We couldn't pay our rent, employees or order new merchandise.
My husband set up a meeting with John LaFonz, the general manager of $1.00 store services and they gave us a list of things to try. Here are just a couple: employees need to wear matching shirts (I only had one employee left because I had to lay four of them off) and put balloons on your sign.
After that I started to get worried, that was the best information they could supply us with? Still we followed their suggestions and now our sales are lower than ever, we are probably going to lose EVERYTHING we have worked for prior to this; our house, automobiles and our investment property. They will no longer take our calls or give us any sort of refund, their business and people skills are poor at best.
If I had enough time to physically stand outside their business and tell people our story I would and I have the financials to show them. Unfortunately now that we have NO employees I am at the store all the time. I feel weak and sick most of the time and the stress and severity of the situation is threatening my health and life as I know it.
PLEASE do not give these people any business or money they are shallow, greedy, unproffesional and uncaring to put it lightly. If anyone is thinking of doing business with them, please contact me and I will tell you everything in detail.

Don't fall for these scams; do not pay anyone any type of money before you see for your own eyes the merchandise. These people are slick and make you believe that they are for real.
If you have any doubt that the deal is too good to be real, then listen to your common sense. They go on-line down load the specifications and photos from dealers and from there it is very simple to place a free ad. They have you go through a third party to get your money and you have no way of getting it back. Don't give your hard earned money away to thieves.

Turpin's response: I couldn't get most of it. Some kind of rhyme or poem or something. These guys get weirder every year. Let's see... Perkins, gimme that poem you wrote. No, the one you copied from the bad guy (don't crack wise when I'm on the phone with the Justice League)!!!
"My first is the shortest for Emily.
My second is just what we is.
My third is a squeal
as on a ferriswheel.
My whole is the unknown
which you try to answer."
See what I mean? I got nothing. Not even a great rhyme, looks slapped together. (yeah, Perkins, I don't think it's a Haiku; there's too many syllables and no refernce to the seasons. 5-7-5... Geez, get back to serving coffee, I'm on the phone here!). Let me know if you got nothing.
Echo's powerOkay I see what you mean. I thought you were one-shotting the shield!
I think I'll go that DC roll for it when there's debate, sure. The game's PL8, so low PL things should be no issue to cancel out.
It's basically electrical devices, then?
In this case: the sensor in the ball is a camera attached to the shield system. You can wink it out for a little while. Done!
Echo's power hits the camera, which blips and makes weird noises.

OOC: I'm pretty good with riddles. Let's see if I can think this out. If I'm wrong... then count this on Batgirl's inexperience...
Batgirl stayed jusy out of sight of the others (but close enough to see them. She listened through the copmmlink as Turpin gave them the riddle. Edward Nigma jumped into her head immediatly, but she shook that out. One, Riddler was obsessed with Batman, not Superman.
Two, Nigma is in Gotham.
My first is the shortest for Emily.
That seemed easy. 'Em'. Or if sounded out... 'M'. The first letter of the name of whomever doing this might be M.
My second is just what we is.
...okay. What is 'we'? How can you refer to yourself if noone know who you are?
This gave Batgirl pause.
We is a pronoun. If I use a pronoun, I'm refering to myself. Can't be 'us', cause he used 'is' instead of 'are'. Is it 'I'. Okay... ...M-I-...
Batgirl thought on it. Still nothing. She had a feeling that Batman would've solved this by now. No... he's not here. Focus!
Okay, what was the next one?
My third is a squeal as on a ferriswheel.
Uh-oh. She has never been on a ferris wheel. How the heck does something squeal on a ferris wheel? Maybe (as in, HOPEFULLY), that's a metaphor.
...YEAH! The first two dealt with words! Squeal... or maybe ferriswheel... something about those words. Let's skip that for now.
The last one...
My whole is the unknown which you try to answer.
...nothing. Dang it.
But if you can't win by the rules... break them. At least, that was what Robin taught her.
She slip her glove up, revealing a wrist watch PDA that was linked to the Batcave's computer. Maybe she can get lucky here...
Or she would've been... if she remembered the encypted password.
OOC: If I have to, HP for equipment: PDA.
Rolling Streetwise. If that is inapplicable, then Investigation (which is also +7). Batgirl is searching any know Metropolis Criminals or Metas that have the starting Letters of M and I. Longshot... but maybe.

Solaris frowned, reciting each line not quite under his breath as he attempted to puzzle out the "poem".
OOC: I believe I understand, but Solaris...
OOC: Ah, for crying out loud...
Solaris shrugged. "Sorry guys, no idea."
I guess I should leave this stuff to Batgirl or Echo
Still, the rather mushy feeling that had come over his brain left him annoyed with himself.

Wonder Girl scrunched up face in thought, trying to figure out the riddle.
"My first is the shortest for Emily"... well, I'd call her E... or maybe its M?
"My second is just what we is..." ... hey, this dude didn't even get the grammar right! It should be "we are"... oooh, R. So I guess its MR... Mister?
"My third is a squeal as on a ferriswheel. My whole is the unknown which you try to answer." ... well, Wonder Girl loved ferriswheels, or any rides, and whenever she was on them, she'd always scream out...
"Wee? Mr. Wee? What kind of stupid name is Mr. Wee?" She blinked. "Or is it Mystery? Or ... am I insane?"

OF COURSE! I was right on my first instinct!
'R', which was what was missing from the second line.
The 'squeal' could be from people 'on' a feris Wheel! 'Weeee'...
Mr. Wee
Mystery. Another name for Mystery that means Unknown?
E. Nigma.
Edward Nigma.
But... this doesn't fit Riddler's MO... this can't be right...
Batgirl snuck up (unintentionally) on Wondergirl. "Mystery. If you're on to something, which I doubt, it's another name for Enigma. 'E. Nigma'. The E could stand for Edward."
She waited for that to sink in. "Edward Nigma is known in Gotham as the riddler. He leaves clues to his heists. Problem is... this doesn't match his MO. One, Nigma leaves clues to his crime BEFORE he commits them. Second... he has never used tech this massive before. Plus... why would he challenge Superman on his home turf?"
Batgirl head canted.
"My guess... either he's working with someone, or it's not him at all and Wondergirl figured it wrong. Me, I figure the first letter is M and the second is I. I could be wrong as well, as I can't thing of what the Third letter is. And the answer has to do with 'unknown'. Any thoughts?"

With the cameras taken out, Dre quickly changes to his rock-man form, using it's natural ability to see heat. The walls were warm, perhaps this sight will reveal more.
In regard of the puzzle he remarks: "Sorry, you lost me there. I thought the second letter was a 'v / we'. But Mystery sounds so much cooler..."

Echo paused for a moment, listening to her teammates while she compiled a list of known supervillains, then began methodically assigning odds to each one based on how well they appeared to suit the poem, their relationship with Superman, their overall power level...too much, and they'd have been taken...and their usual territory of operation.
A moment later she said over the comm unit, "Officer Turpin, was there any more to the message than the rhyme? If you have it recorded, a playback would be ideal."
Mr. Eee suits the rhyme, and would be typical of The Riddler, who is not known for personal combat prowess and could escape being kidnapped as a result. But the shield, the location and the target are all wrong for him.
Alternative possibility: Metallo. M, as derived for Mystery. 'Etal' being derived from Latin 'et al,' or 'and all,' describing a group of people that one is part of. Then 'oh' could be a squeal as well. The location and target are typical for Metallo. His powers to control technological devices might put a shield like this within his ability. The course of leaving a riddle to his identity is completely outside his normal recorded range of behaviors though.
Silently, using her built-in communicator, Echo sent to Zatara, "Have Superman mention that the riddle might mean 'Metallo,' though he's not sure why Metallo would make a riddle of his name."

Welcome to The Department of Music at Calvin College. The ability to make music is one of God's choicest gifts to His people. Music enriches our lives, rouses our emotions, and stimulates our intellect. At Calvin College, there are many opportunities for you to use your musical gifts to "make a joyful noise!"
If you are an incoming student (first-year or transfer student) and are interested in performing with one of Calvin's eight music ensembles, you will want to make sure to register for a music audition during your PASSPORT orientation session this summer.
David Fuentes, Professor of Music (Composition and Theory), has written a rock opera! It uses Shakespeare's text from Act V of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," the part where some hack actors perform a sappy play at a wedding reception. The play and its opera were performed at Calvin in 2014, and the opera has recently been professionally recorded so that other theater companies might consider staging it as well.
You can hear the music at www.davidfuentesmusic.com. While you are there, you can also read about a surprising connection that Shakespeare draws between faith and the arts in this apparently raucous play within a play. Caution: Several of the tunes are quite catchy, and you might not be able to get them out of your head for several days. Listen at your own risk!
Meet Andrew Plaisier, a senior graduating this month with a B.S. in Biology and a B.A. in Applied Music! In the fall, Andrew will be starting the Cello Performance Master's program at the University of Michigan in the studio of Anthony Elliott.
Meet Calvin College music major Kelvyn Koning. Kelvyn is a music composition major and will be a senior this coming year. We are thrilled to welcome Kelvyn and all new and returning students to campus!

Some examples of her rudeness..
In August I got extremely sick with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Since I didn't have insurance she suggested, on multiple occasions, that I marry my fiance just to get on his insurance plan. He was only my bf at the time and we had just moved in together at the beginning of the summer.
My land lord has like a thousand cats and a bunch chickens and my brother who lives across the street has a dog who sometimes gets loose. Well she's always talking about how Sammy is always coming down killing her cats and chickens and she has even caught her with a dead cat in het mouth. Well Sammy (the dog) wouldn't hurt a fly. When my cat abandoned her kittens Sammy stepped in and took care of them. And my brother has pet ducks that she plays with but has never hurt. So listening to my landlord bitch about her just irritated me to no end.
Then in Sept. I had a miscarriage right after finding out I was pregnant. I believe the rmsf I had in August is what caused me to lose it. I was on lots of medications and very weak all together. But after losing the baby I got really depressed and didn't do much. Well one day my landlord comes over again to talk about something stupid and makes the comment about how I never get out of the house to enjoy the sunshine. I finally break down and tell her about the baby and how I was really depressed. She then tells me it was probably for the best and goes on to tell me my brothers dog is loose and if she sees her on her property she is gonna shoot her.
FF to December. She has finally started leaving us alone. I decide to make the announcement of baby and next time I see her I go ahead and tell her. Instead of congratulating us she tells my fiance he needs to learn to wrap it up and I should enforce it.
And then today was the worst for me. I actually told het off about an hour ago. She has been on my case about filling up the propane tank. It's gonna cost us 200+ to fill it and the only thing that uses propane is a single heater. We have opted to use an electric heater instead so we don't have to pay out the ass for propane. She has been at the house multiple times asking when we plan to fill it up. Umm we don't. We are warm enough with the heater we are using and don't need the other. So then she asked if it was about money. I said it was part of it, but not entirely. So she told me to just ask my mom and dad and see what they can do as if they give me whatever I ask for. They don't have that kind of money. That irritated me. But then my fiances step dad stops by while I'm.outside talking to her. They talk a little bit, I'm just half listening to her because I'm annoyed and just wanna go in. That's when I hear her say that sfil should help. He owns the lumber yard in town so he must have money right. Wrong. Crazy bitch pregnant woman came out and I laid into her.
I went off about how she has no right to assume people's financial situation and my fiance and I are doing okay without our families help and we don't need it. We have no intention of living here once the baby is born, so filling up the propane tank is just a waste because we won't even use what we pay for. I told her how sick of her dropping in unannounced I was and how her opinion on our lives is unwanted and unneeded and told het as soon as our lease is up in May we are out here. And until then we expect her to follow her part of the lease that states she has to call at least 24 hours before coming over even if she does live right next door.
I seriously just want to slap this lady. I can't wait to move because I am so sick of her putting het nose in things that are none of her business and unless we are not paying rent, electric, or being loud and causing a disturbance she has no reason to contact us.
