@Bliquid Agreed! While there may be games out there that may have better graphics from a pure technical standpoint (texture detail, polygons, shaders and the like), the art direction and design of Destiny is gorgeous, me thinks.
Especially some of the later locations and especially the moment when you can combine your armor with shaders that change its color (unlocks at level 20). Just droolworthy.
This indeed looks gorgeous. But still, GTA games tend to bore me about a third or so into the campaign. The worlds are all wonderfully crafted for their respective time, but the gameplay itself tends to get boring and repetitive for me. It's basically the same since GTA 3.
Still, I will give V a try for sure, even if it's just for soaking in the world...but not at launch, most probably.
As someone who was very...vocal about the recent and frequent PSN-outages and maintenance-breaks, I must give credit where credit is due. Sony and the PSN-servers indeed handled the Destiny launch superb and barely with a glitch. Consider me impressed.
@ShogunRok I did enjoy the read. Very well written, sir! And extra points for jamming so many quotes from the game into the final conclusion!
Awwww man! See you all online, guys!
@Bad-MuthaAdebi Aw man, that sucks. I fixed my disk-problem. Out of desperation, I put my PS4 back to the out of the box-factory setting and reinitialized it. There's a menu for that in the system settings menu. Wiped the HDD and all and every data and put the disk back in after that and suddenly it got recognized properly like it's supposed to. I tried the "quick wipe" option, btw. Don't know why it works suddenly, but whatever.
Don't know if that would solve your problem, but for me it worked.
So I seem to have this problem: I installed the standard version of Destiny on my PS4 and the game doesn't show in the PS4s main menu or the library section with all my other downloaded or installed games. What I mean there's nothing. No icon to click, no entry no hint or clue that the disk is even entered. Also, when I go to the systems setting menu and access "System storage management" or what's it called, where I can access a graph of the space taken up on my HDD and check on and delete installed games and apps, there's no entry for Destiny at all. Again, it's like the game doesn't exist.
It DID install, though. After I popped in the disk, the PS4 started installing AND downloaded the day-1-patch. By clicking the intalled patch-symbol under Notifications--->Downloads I was able to start the game. Also, when I click on the "Player X played Destiny Digital Guardian Edition" news in the "What's new"-newsfeed, I'm also able to start the game.
After I entered my Gamestop DLC-code for the season pass, the game DID show up in my library, but when I click on it, the button that would normaly say "Start" says "Buy in store". I can start it via the library when I go on "Overview" and then click "Play Destiny now", but I'd love to have the game showing up in my normal Dashboard and avoid those work-arounds, but at least I can play it.
Anyone else have this problem or any idea how to fix this? Appreciate it, guys! And enjoy the game!
Yes. Just yes. GW1 on 360 was awesome!
@NicolaHayden Sounds like the perfect way to break the other one as well!
@Doodoo This. Only that I didn't buy a PS3. I think a huge part of PS4 owners are alienated, former MS-gamers. MS has been losing focus during the later years of the 360, managed to alienate even more during the X1s reveal and sealed the mess-up during E3 with their original DRM- and Kinect-policies, so I got me a PS4, after owning the PS1 and 2 and loving them. That the PS4 was also cheaper and the more powerful hardware didn't hurt either, of course.
But I think Sony has to be careful. They've been riding on a huge wave of good-will that is in danger of crashing. The 1st party offerings up until now are not as good as many would like them to be and many, me included, didn't buy a 400,- € system for indy games. It's nice to have them, sure, but I want shiny, spectacular AAA-experiences that weren't possible on last-gen hardware. I found enough to keep me entertained until now and with Diablo 3 and Destiny, I'm sure I'll be good for this year until CoD AW comes around or GTA V, but Sony has to step up their game and at least stop to play their cards so close to the chest. Give us some more reasons why we spent 400,- bucks on a system.
Also, PSN is laughable when you compare it to Xbox live. It's true that PS+ is the better value on paper, but PSN either breaks down or is down for maintenance every month or so, which is unacceptable when you pay for a premium service and it's even obligatory for online gaming on PS4. In the online department, MS mops the floor with Sony.
Still, I love my PS4 and am very happy with my purchase. And I'm sure that I'll love 2015, games-wise.
Uncharted 1-3 and the Mass Effect trilogy including all and every DLC, please. I just played the UC games a little bit each on a friends PS3 and loved them and Mass Effect is one of my most beloved ips ever. In my opinion one of the very best new and original ips ever, actually, and since I never got around to play ME 3, I'd love to dive into those games again and finish the story ark before 4 releases.
@Scollurio I'm sure you'd love 'em.
@Gmork___ Absolutely! I "only" use a very good AKG stereo headset at the moment, but it's already amazing. 'specially with games like P.T., where the heavy breathing at the "Look behind you!"-part is always coming from a direction you are not looking in!
I haven't completed the demo yet, but after a 2 day break, I feel like I can give it a new try...maybe... And I know exactly what you mean: although I'm sure I'd love every second of it, I'm honestly not sure if I could take an entire game of this intensity...but I'm sure willing to find out!
How do you like the Pulse, btw? I'll be getting a new headset for gaming with my PS4 around Christmas and the Pulse is one of the headsets I have my eyes on.
@SimonAdebisi Oh man, you are so right! I didn't see the remake, but the old Evil Dead is awesome! So is Rec. Good games of those would be fantastic!
And have fun tonight! With headphones and in a dark room is how those games are meant to be played, I think!
WHAT?! Never have I been closer to be banned from this side, because I was very tempted to unleash a string of profanities in the comments to express my joy!
Wow, this is insane! I played the P.T. demo yesterday and it's brilliant! Such creepy atmosphere and amazing graphics. For me personally, never before has a game come closer to photo-realistic graphics. On first glance, you could think you'd watch a movie. I was mesmerized!
And now I read it's a new Silent Hill? by Kojima?! And del Torro?! Are you effin' kidding me?! This is *babbles gibberish
Whoa...I'm off, taking a shower!
If that wasn't a charming way to safe the day, I don't know what!
Game looks nice, too!
@Diddy_kong Just out of curiosity: why is it a problem for you that MGS isn't exclusive anymore? It's not that it's a less excellent game for also being available on Xbox?
But indeed, the sweet memories of MGS on PS1...I was blown away by the game back then. Still has a special place in my heart until today.
And Konami might sell one more MGS V GZ...now that it's for sale one the PSN store for 15,- €, I'm heavily tempted.
@Tasuki I accept your decision, of course, but I must say I'm disappointed in it. Even if I don't agree with the opinion @ThreadShadow stated in his post, I agree with him in that this article in general goes into the political decision, so I would think a political discussion about the topic in the comment section of said article would only be proper. Plus, I feel that Pushsquare as a community would benefit from and can endure such a discussion.
But hey, seems I was wrong.
What the hell did I just watch?!
But seriously, that was hilarious!
The Last of Us Remastered all the way. Didn't play this yet...so looking forward to do so, finally...and in the better looking version as well!
Hopefully it comes at all. It's indeed rather ridiculous that the PS4 is lacking features the PS3 had for years...and features that were appreciated by the fans, that is. There has been speculation that Sony didn't include DNLA and mp3 playback because they wanted to push their own video- and music streaming services. I wouldn't think it beyond them, to be honest...that they claim they were "surprised" by the uproar when those features were missing is hard to believe for me...I call a little bs on that.
And about the resume feature: that one is also long overdue...when they presented the PS4 in Feb. 2013, they somewhat implied that this feature would be included from launch...now the PS4 is about 9 month old and it's nowhere to be seen.
I'm not missing the resume feature too much myself, because I tend to power down my PS4 completely when I not use it, because it soaks up too much juice in stand by, but they should get their act together.
@Sonicfan11589 basically, it means streaming video and music files inside your home network. If you have videos and music saved on your PC, you can create some kind of server and every DLNA-able device inside your network (like the PS3) can then play back those videos and music files.
That PS4 looks fabulous! And I love the message. Would totally buy that if it was available as a custom system.
@voodoo341 Don't want to speculate about Tasukis financial situation, but some people just want (or can) afford one console with the games for it...me being one of those who just have the PS4. And as @Enobmah_Shards said, nobody forces you to buy the game again, should it not be cross-buy. It's just easy money for the developer and also for Sony, who isn't in the healthiest situation, financially, so...
@Tasuki I'm one of those former Xbox 360 owners who didn't have a PS3 but is a happy PS4 owner now. So I'm quite happy with remakes like Journey and of course The Last of Us.
@Davros79 Always glad to help, sir! And I found no special locations for the guns. Sometimes the gunsmith in the tower has some for sale. The 57er-->62er auto rifles I use with both my titan and warlock I bought there. Other than that, as @AhabSpampurse said, it's dropped as loot...either as a gun itself or a blueprint you can decrypt at the tower.
@Davros79 You can only upgrade "uncommon" loot (armor and weapons), highlighted in green, vs. common loot that's white or gray. I'd guess the ability to upgrade some loot makes it special/uncommon, so you can just upgrade the uncommon loot.
As for the 60+ auto rifle...you'll have to find an uncommon one with an attack value of 57. The last upgrade for those you can unlock raises the attack to 62. At least those are the most powerful ones I found until now. At least the most powerful level 8 guns.
@Generik Good decision, I daresay! Love my PS4, and by now there's enough nice games to play if you jump in in September. And I have a feeling Destiny will be huge, both in matters of success and also game size. And it's already insanely polished for a beta. I have a feeling that this will be one of my most loved games of all time, so the exclusive content is more than welcome. 'specially the strike missions seem to be lots of fun with two buddies or so. And as I said, I love the white PS4. Since it's also coming out in general at the end of the year, should I ever need to buy another PS4 because my first one dies or such, I'd get a white one as well...if there isn't an even nicer one/limited one out I'd want more until then, that is...
Wow. Talking about putting yourself under pressure, right? I can hardly believe that Uncharted 4 will have the ingame graphics shown in the gorgeous trailer, even less in 1080p at 60fps, but surprise me, please!
And as you said, if anyone can pull it off, then it's dem dogs. They made the PS3 shine for sure.
Edit: And about that UC collection for PS4: Yes, please! As someone who didn't/doesn't own a PS3 and just played parts of the first three games at friends places (and loved 'em), I'd be all over this in a heartbeat!
@FullbringIchigo Good to know then that they work...because I plan on getting those. Love the Alien movies!
@FullbringIchigo Yeah. As I said, I wanted to watch District 9, which used to work fine, but doesn't anymore. Other movies of mine seem unaffected, though.
Agree with all of the above, basically. I want those missing features, plz. Also, the Share button doesn't work all the time for me, or more specifically, the video grabbing. Sometimes when I press share, the PS4 doesn't grab a video. Sucks. Also, since the last update or so, some Blu-Ray movies that used to work just fine don't work anymore. Wanted to see District 9 recently and after selecting "start movie" from its title screen, the disk freezes.
YouTube app would be appreciated, but as @FullbringIchigo says, the work-around with the browser works just fine for me.
@get2sammyb Oh, my bad, sorry! Read that wrong.
Excellent read, sir!
@get2sammyb Good article. Again. But I think Wolfenstein runs on id Tech 5.
@tehmaz Strange. And yeah, I'd try the delete/re-download-thingy...if that doesn't work, try to re-enter your DLC-code. If that doesn't work as well, I guess you'll have to contact Sonys customer support.
Edit: You can't delete from the library. You have to do it from the systems settings-menu, as I described in my above post.
@tehmaz Alright, I checked with my PS4, the download button is in the sub-menu, sorry. So, in the library, click on the huge "Destiny beta"-icon. A new screen should open with either a "Start" or "Download" button below the icon for "Destiny beta".
If the button reads "Start" but the betas doesn't start, try deleting it and then re-download it. Go to "Settings" in the PS4 main menu, then "System Storage" or something like that and then "Applications". You then see a list of installed applications and games. Press "Options" on the DS4 pad, press "delete" then check the box next to "Destiny beta" and delete it. After that, go back to your library and click on the Destiny beta icon and click download.
The beta will not install the whole 14 gig initially, but only a small part. After that, you have to start the beta like any normal game from the main menu of the PS4 and wait for it to download and install the rest of the data. You can't do this in the background. Hope this helps. Good luck!
@N711 Yeah, that may be. I had an Xbox 360 from launch and there were issues with Xbox Live here and then, especially around the launch of huge games like CoD or GTA IV...but for me, PSN seems to have issues almost every week or is down for maintenance. There's about 2-3 occasions per month where I want to play online and PSN is either down or under maintenance. So yeah, Xbox Live doesn't run entirely without faults, but overall, the experience is much more stable and reliable.
I wouldn't mind as much if online gaming on PS4 was still free, but since we now have to pay for it, it should run much better. I don't mind the free games included in the IGC, but since PS+ is mandatory for online gaming, as far as I'm concerned, online multiplayer is what I (have) to pay for, hence it's the service that should run stable, and the free games are "just" a nice bonus.
I really hope Sony gets its act together, because I don't want to play on my 360 anymore and I can't afford an Xbox One anytime soon, so for online multiplayer games I'm stuck with the PS4, but I must say that my experience with PSNs reliability during the last few month has been so bad that I'd play multi-plat online games on the X1 if I had the choice.
@THEundying27 They're extras. You can play the co-op missions in a team of up to three people...so you get 3 codes, just in case you have two buddies without codes with whom you might want to play.
@Scollurio Which one did work in the end? The first one I sent you or the second one? Just so I know which one I can try to give away.
Alright. Beta loader is installed and the game transfers the last 10 gig now...finally...but indeed, PSN has to improve big time. Microsoft really puts Sony to shame in the online department.
@voodoo341 I think when the native resolution is cranked up from 720p to 1080p, the frame rate doubled, the textures in a 4-times-as-high resolution, lighting and draw distance improved and character models have more polygons, you can in all fairness speak of a remastered edition of a game...of course, it's also always fancy pr-speak, but in this case I feel it's fairly justified.
@readyletsgo Agreed. I wouldn't bother to buy the multiplayer DLC if it wasn't already included anyway, so I hope for some more story stuff as well. Or a sequel.

Thank you very much to Woodinville Parks and Recreation for a wonderful lunchtime concert series. The weather was perfect, and the four groups were outstanding.
My grandparents would have been so honored to have this wonderful music and fun in the park named in their memory.

Hydatid Cyst of the Orbit.
—At the Ophthalmological Society of London, December 13, 1888, Dr. Rockliffe brought forward a case of suppurating hydatid cyst of the orbit. The patient, a laborer aged 33, had first noticed an affection of the sight of the left eye in 1882. He had several attacks of inflammation in it, and the vision gradually deteriorated till, in April, 1887, he was quite blind with it. There was then marked protrusion, some ptosis, and the action of all the ocular muscles, except the external rectus, was very limited. Nothing definite was made out as to the condition of the orbit. Eighteen months later, having had more attacks of pain, the patient consented to an operation. An exploratory puncture with a scalpel having given no results, the orbit was more freely opened up and, the eye being removed, a suppurating hydatid cyst was found at the apex

Elevation of the protein-bound iodine (PBI) to hyperthyroid levels (9 to 11 µg/100 ml) in a patient was apparently due to the iodide content of the dye used to color lithium carbonate capsules. In five normal subjects taking empty capsules for 6 weeks the PBI level rose significantly, although it did not exceed the normal range. Mean values had returned to pretreatment levels 6 weeks later. The radioactive iodine (RAI) uptake was depressed in the patient but was not significantly altered in the five normals. The dye (erythrosine) is widely used in coloring foods and drugs and may be a fairly common source of mild PBI elevations in euthyroid patients.

I am in Germany, and a 250g-bar of Kerrygold costs me about 1,70 EUR in a regular supermarket. If it's a special offer, you can get it for about 1,20 EUR.
Can you tell me where you buy your Kerrygold (or other grass fed) butter and how much you pay for it? What part of the country are you in?
I am in an outer suburb Portland, OR and I have checked the two grocery stores closest to me and they want $5.50 for an 8oz block. This feels really expensive to me. Is that what you all pay for it?
I am in Germany, and a 250g-bar of Kerrygold costs me about 1,70 EUR in a regular supermarket. If it's a special offer, you can get it for about 1,20 EUR.
Trader Joe's in Charlotte NC $2.79. Supermarkets $5.00.
I agree it's pricey but damn is that stuff GOOD!
Also in NC, and both Trader Joe's and Whole Foods has Kerrygold for under $3.00.
Santa Rosa (N. California) Costco: $6.69 for the 17.6-oz container of whipped Kerrygold.
If you're going to pay that much for butter, instead of shipping from Ireland, why not go Portland local:
Jacob's Creamery has grass-fed Jersey cow butter, which you can buy in Shemanski Park and other local markets: jacobscreamery.com
Product Search v1.0
Jacobs Creamery-Handcrafted Artisan Cheeses
Failing that, yes, Trader Joe's is probably the place to go.

I pay 2.69 for 8 oz.
$2.79/8 oz at Trader Joe's. That is unbelievably cheap, bordering on half the price anywhere else.
Don't put your trust in anyone on this forum, including me. You are the key to your own success.

By Gene Mim Mack, Mayor of Stevensville
Last week's letter about the Reserve Officers and our Police Department caused me to realize that many in the community might not understand the role of the Reserve Officer within the Police Department. After talking with Town Reserve Officers, the true scope and dedication that these Officers bring to the job is staggering.
The Town of Stevensville does have Reserve Officers – in fact we have seven Reserve Officers who supplant our one full-time paid Police Officer and one full-time paid Police Chief. These seven Reserve Officers are 100% volunteer, they are 100% unpaid and they are not eligible for any health insurance benefits.
Here's what these unpaid volunteers do to become Reserve Officers:
1. The State requires 88 hours of training. Many of our Reservists put in more than 200 hours towards becoming a Stevensville Reserve Police Officer, well in excess of State law.
2. Within this mandatory training, each Reservist undergoes training in:
• 30 hours of firearms qualifications
• Montana State law training
• Partner family member assault training
• Accident investigation training
• Traffic stop training
• Felony stop training
• Radar detector training
• First aid/CPR training
• Taser training
• Baton training
• Defensive tactics
• Pressure point training
• Handcuffing
• Town of Stevensville policy training
• Reserve Officer policy training
Additionally, each Reserve Officer pays for everything they need to perform their volunteer job. This includes though is not limited to:
• Uniform: $1,500 – $2,000
• Firearm: $300 – $500 (cost of one firearm – some Reservists choose to purchase a backup firearm at an additional personal expense)
• Ballistic vest: $1,000 – $1,500
• Badge: $125
The Town provides each Reservist the following supplies to use as they perform their volunteer job:
• Use of radio
• Duty ammunition
• Pepper spray
• Taser and cartridges
• Patches
To maintain their active reserve status, each Reserve Officer must perform a minimum of 16 hours of patrol shifts per quarter. As a Reserve Officer they can only be on patrol with a full-time Officer.
I spoke to one of the Town's Reserve Officers about why they would go to these lengths to do a non-paid job. They said without hesitation, "because I want to help people. Sure I'd like to do it full time, but if that's not possible, I will do it as a volunteer."
As to the questions raised about the water system, many parts of the system were over 75 years old and had simply worn out. There were hundreds of gallons leaking throughout the main line water system and a method of repairing and paying for needed upgrades that was shared by all users had to be found.
The State DEQ regulations also made it imperative that we replace our ground water system with a deep well system for the safety and sustainability of the system for the residents of the Town. I think that is important to remember the history of Stevensville shows that generations before us designed, built and paid for infrastructure developments that we have benefited from. By continuing that commitment to our future we make it possible to leave something to our children and their children just as previous residents did for us.
You, the residents of Stevensville, own your water system. In contrast, Missoula is looking at millions of dollars to try to buy their water system back. To suggest that someone was "bought" is an insult to the dedicated hard working women and men who work on your behalf in the Town of Stevensville.

Thank you Mike and Carla! The photo booth was a huge hit! To get a digital copy of your photo strip click on the link and enter the password.
The Black Diamond Photo Booth (BDPB) of Lakewood, CO is a leader in the photo booth industry. Owner/operator Shawn Stewart explains some options you should know about when considering renting a photo booth for your special occasion.
– Booth Size: Booths very in the amount of people can get in the shot. Some booths you can only fit 2 or 3 people. Our booth can fit up to 14. Have more than two bridesmaids you want in the picture? Our booth can handle whole families and we always make sure everyone gets a copy!
– Décor and appearance: The BDPB has two gorgeous curtain sets that enclose the sitting area. One is dark olive green/black and the other is a red/burgundy. We thought a lot about the details. From the crown molding and trim that completes the look around our 27" and 19" LCD's to the crushed velvet photo backgrounds, it's built to be elegant and fits into the nicest venues. The outside 27" LCD can show the pictures being taken inside or if the bride and groom have pictures or a video of their time together that can be playing separately from the laughs inside. Also included in our price is customization of our back-lit sign system. Yes we put your name in lights!! You deserve that on your special day.
– Quality: We only use Canon equipment to capture these special moments. The pictures are high quality and print out in around fifteen seconds from the session ending.
– Props: We have a lot of props. Hats, glasses, ties, boas, picture frames, masks, etc.
– Guestbook: We only use Kolo Newport albums with our rental. This is included in the price. They come in 13 different colors and we customize the front cover with the name of the bride and groom. This is handed to the couple when the event is over. We bring our own table and table cloth so you have nothing to worry about.
Here is a summary of what's also included with your rental with Black Diamond Photo Booth at no additional charge:
* Delivery, setup, and breakdown of booth.
* Personalization of photo strips with name/date/logo/or the event design of your choice. We match this design on our back-lit signs and both LCD graphics on the booth.
*Want music? I'll bring speakers and play your favorite band on Pandora! (Wi-Fi Required)
* Unlimited photo sessions and prints– lab quality prints in 20 seconds. Everyone that goes into that photo booth session, even if it is 8 people, get a copy. Some photo booths companies print only two strips per session or charge a fee for unlimited prints. Make sure your guests aren't fighting for a strip!
* Free online hosting of event images in a private password protected gallery.
* Professional on-site attendant during event.
* All pictures available for download (faster) or on a DVD.
–All-inclusive pricing. No ALA Cart menus for props or extra prints. We know what it takes to make the booth as fun as possible so we throw it all in for a true photo booth experience.
Please call us at 303-396-3374 and we can help you make that special occasion one your guests will never forget!
Wow!!! Where do we start?! You were amazing to work with and to have at our wedding! You were easy to work with from the start! I actually found you through google, but finally met you at a wedding expo and was even more excited to see wonderful booth and how professional you were!
The strip design for our booth turned out amazing! We are thinking of having one framed to hang up with our wedding photos!
Our guests raved about you all night long and the day after! You and your daughter were busy working all night with our friends and family and we couldn't have asked for a more fun time!! Our guests were saying that you were the reason for the good time at our wedding!!
We love the fact that we have these photos in the album you provided (of which amazed us in the quality) to have for a lifetime!
We will use you again in the future for any other events that we need fun added to!:)
You just might have to come to my birthday party:)
Mike and Cathy Parks
We totally recommend the Black Diamond photo booth. Shawn with Black Diamond was such a pleasure to work with, well before the wedding we coordinated to pick out the color of the curtains, the color of our photo book, and the color of our strips. He put together a custom strip for us using all of our wedding colors after I sent him pictures of our invitations as color reference. He also created a custom sign outside the booth with all our information. I also loved the setup of the booth; it was roomy enough to fit lots of people and everyone fit perfectly in the frame. There was a bench in the booth which was great for you to sit down, others I have experienced do not have a bench so everyone is standing and hunching over trying to fit in the frame.
A big thing for us in choosing Black Diamond was that they do not charge a mileage fee for out of Denver area weddings. That was huge! We heard about Black Diamond through our vendor, they are Wild Basin's preferred photo booth vendor. Shawn also interacted with our guests and everyone had positive things to say about him. He would print out as many copies of pictures as there were people in the picture, which EVERYONE loved! He would already have all the copies waiting (no one had to ask for one) for everyone as they came out-even if there were like 11 people in there! Other Photo Booths I have seen at other events do not print out more than 2! I also loved that we got a CD of all the pictures in three different formats (individual pictures, the strip of 4 pictures, and then a double strip).
My husband and I both think that a photo booth is worth every penny, everyone LOVED IT!!! I know people went home with stacks FULL of pictures that they had taken. After the wedding when we got the CD and looked through the book it was hilarious to go through and see everyone dress up and just be SILLY!!! It is such a stressful day full of emotions that I LOVED just taking a bazillion pictures dressing up and just grabbing who ever I could to take a picture with.
Shawn was great to work with. He was constantly following up with me and always made sure I was happy with his service, design, etc. I highly recommend Black Diamond Photobooth to anyone and everyone.
I researched many photobooths before deciding on Black Diamond Photobooth. Black Diamond Photobooth offered the best services for the best price. Shawn went above and beyond to be flexible and meet our needs. Everyone at our wedding had a fantastic time and I have had several people contact me since the wedding to inquire about the photobooth because they'd like to have one for their event. My groom was skeptical at first about our decision to do the photobooth as wedding favors for guests but now he says it was the best decision we made.

Actually, I changed my mind. I dont wanna have more than one character in this RP. Sorry Bodine.
I've gotta figure out within these two weeks what fhe treasure will be. El Dorado has been ran into the ground a million times so I'm avoiding that. I want it to be an actual legendary treasure that still hasn't been found. Lets see, Fountain of Youth? Golden Fleece? Something to do with Atlantis?
Anybody got a suggestion?
It's cool, if it comes down to it I'll take him.
Here's a suggestion for everybody that wants to prepare for this: watch some Indiana Jones or something like that. This will take place in cities from time to time but most of the time it will either be on seas or in jungle. Pretty "Congo" feel to it.
Some Rambo wouldn't hurt either.
Very excited to begin.
Also, I'm planning out my second character, but I'm wondering: Can I sign her up after the story begins? I don't want to miss a deadline or something.
Ehhhhh, sure why not. As long as it's early into the RP.
Okay, I decided to take on the reserved character.
Name: Hecor D. Phillps (A.K.A. Philly)
Race: White/Caucasian
Appearance: Philly is an older gentelmen, gray hair and all, who comes to about 5'11. His hair is combed back and he has a moustache... on his upper lip ofcoarse. He has blue eyes and a slightly wrinkled face, but not by much. He's not very athletic looking, he's a bit chubby but not down right fat. His usual appearal consists of sandals, khaki shorts, and a short sleeved button up shirt, sometimes a hawaiian shirt.
Biography: Back in the day, Hector was a young, courages thrill seeker. He and his friend/buisness partner Jonathan Bodine, grandfather of Brandon Bodine, would explore the world in their early 20s'. Jonathan had a big taste for adventure, and Hector had a big taste for money. They both satisfied those taste by their adventurous life as treasure hunters. This lead them all around the world. Later, after they have found wealth from their past adventures and retirement was the next step, Jonathan wanted his career as a treasure hunter to go out with a bang. He sought to find "The Big One", the treasure of all treasure. The Idol of the Gods. An ancient statue said to give it's owner everlasting life. The fact that it was encrusted with gold, silver, and diamonds was a perk too. Hector told Jonathan not to chase fairy tales, but he knew Jonathan wouldn't listen. Jonathan went out on his own... and was never seen from again. Years later Hector still feels the guilt looming over his head. He feels he should have done more to stop Jonathan.
Hector started to attempt to invest more, trying to make money in other ways, which has now lead him to debt. One big problem with this debt, is it's origin. He made a few bad deals with the infamous Investors crime syndicate and now owes them a large sum of money. Thus he comes out of retirement, and enters treasure hunting again with the grandson of his long lost friend. He notices Brandon is much like his granfather before him. Courageous, smart, clever, and just as big of a smart-ass like his grandfather which leads to some comedic arguments. After 5 short years of little-to-no success in treasure hunting, Hector feels the Investors will soon be looking for him. So he sees no other choice, but to find that which his old friend never could, the Idol of the Gods, in hopes that such a find will be plenty enough to pay off his debt and get "The Bear" off his back for good.
hmmm if you want a treasure, i know its been done to death, i would have to say excalibur. Just because im from the uk, i sort of have to.
What i suggest is that you do a selection of famouse treasures. These treasures can then all tie together some how to lead to somthing bigger. Thats my sugestion.

Early life[edit]
a boy al haziq is the third of seven children born into a middle-low class of Hadhrami Arab ancestry.[4] His father was a trader who had travelled to Central Asia and Thailand in his youth before settling down in Kedah during the 1940s.[5] When Syed Mokhtar was nine years old, he was sent to Johor Bahru to live with his uncle Syed Omar where he studied until Form 2.[6] He subsequently returned to Kedah to finish his education until form five at Saint Michael's School, and he never went to university. A whole lot of hin noob experience was gained through his own entrepreneurship experience during his youth time.
Due in part to his family's mediocre-to-poor background, Syed Mokhtar al Bukhary had to step into the working world early in his life, while pursuing his primary and secondary studies. He helped his mother planting and selling vegetables in the market and also selling roti canai. His numeric knowledge was used to help his father in doing daily book keeping.
After finishing school, he helped his father in breeding cow business but only to see the business washed away by foot and mouth disease. Nevertheless, he took over the business and start over by selling meats. He then move on to packaging the meats and start selling them wholesale.[7]
Syed Mokhtar and Zainal started his business in Kedah in the 1990s dealing in rice. More success followed and he moved to rice trading business. He worked even harder after he was awarded the rice trading license from Lembaga Padi Negara, and was later awarded successions of supplier contract government-linked corporations as partner with Zainal Hatim Hj Ambia Bukhary.
As his determination starting to skyrocket, he quickly moved to expand into diversification of other businesses. His next big move was in the logistics business, with initial goal to transport their trading materials. Today, his business empire has grown into areas such as plantation, property development, construction, engineering, power generation, infrastructure and ports.
He owns 51.8% share in Malaysian Mining Corporation via his wholly owned company, Syarikat seaport terminal (johore) sdn bhd,a subsidiary company Syarikat Indra Cita Sdn. Bhd. Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar and Zainal Hatim personally owns SKS Ventures, which was awarded the task of building the site for 2100MW coal-fired power station at Tanjung Bin, Johor. Tan Sri Syed Mohktar has a 32% share in PERNAS through his own company, Syarikat Ratu Jernih. Syarikat Perdana Padu Sdn. Bhd. and Corak Kukuh Sdn. Bhd. Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar and Zainal are board members of Syarikat Bina Puri Holdings Berhad, whereby, on his own, he has 7.34% share. Apart from these, Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar and Zainal has varied interest in a number of companies, both in Malaysia as well as abroad.
In appreciation of his services and contributions, he was bestowed with several awards, which among others, include the Panglima Setia Mahkota (P.S.M.) by His Majesty Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong, which carries the title Tan Sri and the Dato' Setia Mahkota Kedah (D.S.D.K.) by HRH The Sultan Kedah, which carries the title Dato'.
On 10 January 2008 or 1st Muharram 1429 Hijra he was announced and awarded as "Tokoh Ma'al Hijrah" by The Yang Di Pertuan Agong of Malaysia in recognition of his contribution to nation building
A major gripe by Malaysians is that Syed Mokhtar is reputed to be just a proxy of UMNO (United Malays National Organisation), the ruling party in Malaysia since independence.
He has been identified as a major beneficiary of political connection that have given his subsidiary companies monopoly control over crucial Malaysian sectors which includes sugar mills, rice distribution (Bernas), power plants generations and trading ports.
Uncontrolled Development in Johor Port[edit]
A number of companies controlled by Syed Mokhtar have come under attack for development activities on greenfield sites. For example, the clearance of mangroves for the development of Johor Port has led to some criticisms from local environmental groups.[8]
Sugar Subsidies Removal Controversies[edit]
In 2009, Central Sugar which is owned by Syed Mokhtar's Tradewind [9] acquired from Robert Kuok PBB group.[10] Following the Central Sugar acquisition, the government had committed to a three-year raw sugar import deal at US$26 (RM78.54) per 100 lbs (45.3 kg) in January 2012 when the global market price for raw sugar then was at US$23.42 (RM73.57). But by January 2014, the global price had dipped to below US$16 forcing Govt to withdraw the subsidy (34 cents per kilogram) for the sugar.With removal of sugar subsidy in Budget 2013, the profit of Tradewind now escalates to RM 1 billion. [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19]
Acquisition of large LTE band chunk without previous track record[edit]
In December 2012, Syed Mokhtar's Puncak Semangat Sdn Bhd is one of the eight companies that are successfully bid the LTE 2600 MHz from Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission.[20] But questions were raised as the Puncak Semangat have zero track records prior to the bid but managed to secure the 40 MHz band. Meanwhile, the other 8 competing companies secured only 20 MHz of the allocation band. [21] [22] [23]
Threat to National Food Securities[edit]
In March 2014, Syed Mokhtar secure 90% of the PadiBeras Nasional Bhd (Bernas) after buying the shares owned by Nafas and Nekmat through his proxy companies:Perspective Lane (M) Sdn Bhd, Kelana Ventures Sdn Bhd, Seaport Terminal Sdn Bhd, Acara Kreatif Sdn Bhd and Tradewinds Bhd.The critics are opposing this moves as this puts the nation's food security into one tycoon hands which will harm the nation food industry and thus the price of rice will continue to increase further.[24] [25] [26] [27]
Tanjung Bin Power Plant Controversy[edit]
The Tanjung Bin Power Sdn Bhd, which is 90% controlled by Malakoff Corp Bhd located in Tanjung Bin,Pontian (T-Bin3) experiencing repeatedly shut down due to leaks in the boiler tubes for 2 months and is believed yet to be solved.[28]
As of that effect, the power production are up and running but performing below par. The common outage incidents had brought the Plant's Unscheduled Outage Rate (UOR) to 5.95 per cent as at end-December 2010, i.e. close to the PPA's 6 per cent Unscheduled Outage Limit (UOL). There is therefore little room for further unscheduled outages in the near term. RAM Ratings will monitor the Plant's performance and provide an update if there is any breach of the PPA's operating parameters that results in significant revenue loss.[29]
The 2,100MW power plant is said to be the first coal fired power plant in the country and the largest independent coal-fired power plant in South-East Asia. This will caused serious air pollutions to the locales who are living near to the power plant.[30]
The opposition also accused government awarding Tanjung Bin Power Plant, an independent power producer (IPP) deal without first agreeing to tariff rates and the length of the concession. This cause the power tariff to continue to increase or in the best case, stagnant should the oil's world price should come down.[31]
A setback in the expansion of Tanjung Bin 4 (T-Bin4) — a 1,000MW coal-fired r4.5 billions extension of the aforementioned plant that is due to be completed in March 2016. The delay is due to graft probes of one of the power plant expansion contractor French engineering group Alstom. The firm is believed to be bribing civil servants in several countries including Malaysia.[32]

Today is September 25, 2016 -
Beha'alotekha 5771
Posted on June 15, 2011
by Alex Hamilton, SWUSY 2011-12 Israel Awareness Vice President
So what does the Israeli Flag, the Thunder, the Sea, and tallitot have in common? They're blue. Now when I was studying I came across the paragraph about making the Tallit. So I started wondering what does blue mean in Judaism. On the American flag the blue section or union is supposed to represent vigilance, perseverance, and justice. But after some of my research I realized that the blue in our tallitot aren't reflective of anything even remotely American.
Now does anyone know the Hebrew word for blue? CaChol, that's right. So if you will open up your siddurim to page 102 and tell me where in the paragraph that starts ,"vayomer hashem el Moshe Leymor" where is the word CaChol. Okay, that's because it isn't the regular blue. The blue isn't actually blue, it's the dye that was used called Tekhelet. The recipe for making Tekhelet came from an animal called chilazon, but sometime between the Byzantine and Islamic empires the recipe was lost. It is believed that the chilazon is the Murex truculus, a shellfish off the Lebanese coast. The same shellfish is also generally considered the same mollusk that produced the purple for the robes of the emperor of Rome. But recently it has been discovered how to change the naturally purple dye to blue. So hopefully we will be able to create the ancient recipe of Tekhelet once again.
But what does blue represent in Judaism. I looked up what blue in Judaism represents, I got that is the color of heaven, the color of HaShem's throne, the color of the thread in many of our tzitzit, a feature on the tabernacle, and as a supernatural defense.
On the second day, HaShem created the two largest things, the sky and the sea, both are blue. So if you look to the sea, you see water and fish. The sea produces Tekhelet for one. The other is that water creates life. So blue would represent life and eternity. The one substance that HaShem didn't create was water. Water was there, All HaShem did was separate the heavens and the sea. Maybe his blue throne was getting moldy. But furthermore, water is something that provides a sense of ecstasy. If one were to look at the water libation ceremony at the temple, one would really be dazzled. The idea was that on Sukkot to clean the alter. So after the alter was clean, there was a giant party, one that was said to rival all other parties.
Water is also the cause of much destruction and chaos. Think of the Flood and Moses striking the rock for water. But what is really a huge issue is the Leviathan. A giant ugly sea creature that is just awful. Sometimes the Leviathan is portrayed as a whale, and sometimes as a fire-breathing dragon. It is seen as a genius of the abyss that dwells at the center of the sea. He causes the rolling of the sea and it takes the water of the mighty Jordan River quench this dragon's thirst. And according to Talmud, my friend on right Michael and my friend on the left Gabriel are gonna fight and overcome the Leviathan. Or something called a Behemoth is going to kill the Leviathan. Either way, he is going to end up for dinner as the entrée at the messianic banquet.
As for the sky, it is always blue in Israel. Everything spectacular is in the heavens; HaShem's throne for example. HaShem rides upon clouds. Angels manifest themselves as clouds. The Pillar of Fire guided our ancestors very poorly as they wandered in the desert for forty years. The divine feminine presence at the Temple Mount, called Shekhina, hovered over the alter in a cloud of glory.
The other reason I am not so sure of, but if you go to the wonderful pilgrimage city of Sfat, one will see everything covered in blue. Handrails, doors, gutters. They are blue for two reasons, one is that blue is the color of the Messiah, which is fitting because Sfat is where he is supposed to appear. The other is because blue is anti-demonic. Jewish demonology is very long complex and not something I know much about, but Ashmodai the king of the demons and his evil consort, Lilith have found their way into the nightmares of the children of the past.
So the blue has a number of meanings in Judaism. And maybe the reason our Tallit is supposed to be blue is to remind us all at once of the moods of the sea, the breadth of the heavens, the Messiah, or the evil of the demons. That only HaShem can protect us with His signs of wonders, and that if we don't put our faith in Him, then he might unleash the power of the seas on us, or send Ashmodai to haunt our dreams, or even to have a simple puddle of rain get our socks wet. Let this be a constant reminder of HaShem and his mighty power over everything.

Alumni Outreach Fall 2010
Left to right: Michael Fayz, Dean Ackerman,
Miller Canfield attorney Jeffrey Aronoff
with Wayne Law student Julianna Rivera.
As part of an effort to reach out more broadly to Wayne Law alumni, the Law School and the Law Alumni Association (LAA) have organized a number of events over the last few months, both in Michigan and beyond.
More than 30 alumni who attended a reception at the State Bar of Michigan Annual Meeting in late September had the chance to mingle with each other, meet Dean Robert M. Ackerman, and witness the presentation of the Donald H. Gordon Teaching Award to Professor Katherine White. Later that evening, approximately 50 alumni gathered at nearby Gilly's Restaurant, located in the historic B.O.B., for more social networking.
Both events received an enthusiastic response, according to LAA Board Member Christopher G. Darrow. "It was great to be able to connect with so many of our Grand Rapids alumni. With events like these, the LAA is hoping to draw more alumni into the organization. To stay informed of alumni news and upcoming LAA events, we encourage alumni to visit law.wayne.edu/alumni or check out Wayne Law on LinkedIn and Facebook."
While in Grand Rapids, Dean Ackerman and Law School staff were warmly received by more alumni at receptions hosted by the firms of Varnum LLP and Mika Meyers Beckett and Jones. Lawrence Murphy of Varnum and Nathanial Wolf of Mika Meyers are both members of the Law School's Board of Visitors.
Alumni Officer Kathryn Koehler intends on reaching out more regularly to Grand Rapids alumni in the future. "We are hoping to capture that enthusiasm and parlay it into greater participation in the LAA, possibly through the formation of a Grand Rapids-area chapter, as well as to create a stronger presence for our alumni in western Michigan."
In October, Miller Canfield hosted a reception for its Wayne Law alumni at its downtown Detroit office. Miller principals David Joswick and Michael Fayz, pictured above with Dean Ackerman, were pleased to invite the dean, Professor Vince Wellman, development and career services staff, and several students to the firm to meet some of its 80-plus Wayne Law alumni. Joswick serves on the Law School's Board of Visitors, while Fayz is a member of the LAA's Board of Directors.
In late October, the Law School, in conjunction with Wayne State University's Division of Advancement, hosted a reception for Washington, D.C.-area alumni at the Metropolitan Club of Washington. Dean Ackerman, along with Professor Laura Bartell (on sabbatical this semester in D.C.), WSU Governor Annetta Miller, Koehler and other development staff, mingled with law alumni working in private practice, government, and industry, before joining a larger group of WSU alumni for a dinner honoring Ofield Dukes, a preeminent D.C.-area public relations practitioner and 1958 journalism graduate of WSU.
The Law School hopes to build a greater base of involvement among its DC-area alumni and is facilitating the formation of a D.C. Alumni Association chapter in the near future, explained Koehler. "We recognize that there are many Wayne Law alumni working in that region of the country and we wish to bring them together and also help them stay engaged in the life of the Law School. With the creation of a D.C. group, alumni there will be able to plan more activities and get more people involved."

U.K. Stocks Decline, BHP, Rio Tinto Fall on Metal Drop
U.K. stocks declined as a report showed Britons experienced the biggest fall in discretionary spending power in more than a year and as the Dutch prime minister failed to reach an agreement on austerity measures with a coalition party.
BHP Billiton Ltd., the world's biggest mining company, and Rio Tinto Group retreated as metals prices dropped in London and manufacturing in China contracted. Cable & Wireless Worldwide Plc soared 12 percent after Vodafone Group Plc agreed to acquire the company for 1.04 billion pounds ($1.7 billion) in cash.
The FTSE 100 Index slipped 1.9 percent to 5,665.57 at the close in London. The measure rose 2.1 percent last week for the biggest gain since the week ending Feb. 3. The benchmark gauge has lost 5 percent since its 2012 high on March 16. The broader FTSE All-Share Index fell 1.9 percent today, while Ireland's ISEQ Index dropped 2.2 percent.
"Political developments in Europe are weighing on indices," Rupert Osborne, a futures dealer at IG Index in London, wrote. "Some resistance in the Netherlands coalition to agree on austerity measures has added to the week's negative start. Manufacturing data out of China is playing its part."
Britons suffered the biggest drop in discretionary spending power in more than a year in March as income growth slowed and consumers spent more on essential items such as food and utility bills, according to Lloyds TSB.
U.K. consumers' spending power for non-essential items after inflation fell 1.1 percent from a year earlier, the most since February 2011, the unit of Lloyds Banking Group Plc said in an e-mailed report released in London today.
Dutch Elections
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte offered to quit, a move that would trigger early elections, as he sought to win parliamentary support for additional budget cuts needed to steer the Netherlands clear of the debt crisis. Queen Beatrix will consider the resignation, the government's information service said.
In France, Socialist Francois Hollande and President Nicolas Sarkozy progressed to the final round of elections. Hollande won 28.6 percent of the vote against 27.1 percent for Sarkozy, the interior ministry said in Paris.
Euro-area services and manufacturing contracted more than estimated in April. A composite index based on a survey of purchasing managers in both industries fell to 47.4, a five-month low, from 49.1 in March, London-based Markit Economics said in an initial estimate. Economists had forecast an increase to 49.3, according to the median of 17 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey.
In China, manufacturing shrank for a sixth month in April, according to a survey of companies. Euro-area services and manufacturing contracted more than estimated in April, a report showed.
BHP, Rio Fall
BHP lost 3.6 percent to 1,898.5 pence. Rio Tinto, the third-biggest mining company, slid 4.8 percent to 3,376 pence. Copper, lead, nickel and tin were among metals falling in London.
Cable & Wireless Worldwide surged 12 percent to 35.9 pence. Vodafone, the world's largest wireless operator, will pay 38 pence a share in an offer recommended by Cable & Wireless directors, the companies said in a statement today. The stock closed at 32 pence in London on April 20, giving it a market value of 879 million pounds.
AstraZeneca Plc slipped 1.9 percent to 2,811.5 pence. The U.K.'s second-biggest drugmaker said it agreed to buy Ardea Biosciences Inc. for $1.26 billion.
Bumi Plc, a London-listed mining company, sank 8.5 percent to 497.4 pence. Lenders of $437 million to PT Bakrie & Brothers asked for about $100 million in cash as additional collateral, a person familiar with the matter said. The loan is backed by Bakrie's stake in Bumi.
Oil Discovery
Borders & Southern Petroleum Plc, U.K. explorer operating in the Falkland Islands, tumbled 32 percent to 89.5 pence, the most since at least May 2005. The stock soared 87 percent last week as investors speculated that it discovered oil. The company today said that it made a discovery at its Darwin prospect, without saying how much oil may be recoverable from the field.
Man Group Plc lost 3.3 percent to 92.55 pence. RBC reduced its price target 24 percent to 125 pence and said it expects a 45 percent dividend cut in 2013.
SuperGroup Plc, a retailer, tumbled 4.8 percent to 335 pence, its lowest price since its initial public offering in March 2010. The stock was downgraded to "fairly valued" from "buy" at Singer Capital Markets.
Kenmare Resources Plc lost 7.3 percent to 50.9 pence. Managing Director Michael Carvill said in the Sunday Times yesterday said he was against a takeover of the company.

This is an innovative book in which the author, Dr. Robert Matunda, analyzes rhetorical strategies in Alice Walker's four narratives with the goal of expanding the body of investigation relating linguistics to literature. Particularly, the author demonstrates how Walker's linguistic elements are mediums of messages. Equally, while using various linguistic paradigms, the author presents to his readers significant cultural values of African and African-American people as envisaged in Walker's selected narratives. Finally, Dr. Matunda demonstrates that though we do not frequently imagine that writers purposefully manipulate the linguistic features of their creative work, it is clear that Walker is very much concerned with managing many linguistic elements to achieve her artistic effects, and this fact only reinforces the impression that Walker is an artist of complexity and depth.
Robert, Matunda.
