Calestous Juma is professor of the Practice of International Development and director of the Science, Technology and Globalization Project at the Harvard Kennedy School. He also directs the Agricultural Innovation in Africa Project funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Juma currently is writing a book, tentatively titled, "Going for Green Growth: Low-Carbon Innovation Strategies for Africa." He spoke in an email exchange with AllAfrica's Cindy Shiner about climate change and Africa.
How have Africans responded to the threat of climate change?
Developing countries are taking climate change very seriously. This is mainly because they regularly experience the impacts of natural disasters such as droughts, hurricanes, floods and earthquakes. Many of them experience persistent famines. They are therefore quite aware of how vulnerable their societies are and the challenges associated with responding to natural calamities. They know that their economic systems are not robust enough to cope with many of the predicted impacts of climate change. This knowledge informs their perception of the risks associated with climate change. African countries have been particularly sensitized to climate change from their experience with drought. They pushed for a UN treaty of drought and desertification. Their concerns about drought and climate are now conflated.
Climate change has been called a crosscutting issue, one that should be treated like Aids, for example. How do you see climate change as being a crosscutting issue in Africa and how should this influence the way it is handled?
The term "crosscutting" does not adequately capture the projected impact of climate change. This is a global phenomenon of Biblical proportions. It is the stuff that legends are made of - but our children will experience it. Climate change will have far-reaching implications for Africa's ability to foster human welfare. The most dramatic impacts will be felt in areas such as the availability of freshwater, food production and tourism (due to impacts on wildlife whose habitats are fragile ecosystems).
One way to respond to the challenge is to build resilient economic systems based on decentralized energy sources, distributed populations and modern agriculture which involves the diversification of crops. In some areas African countries might have to switch from growing cereals to growing more climate-resilient tree-crops such as breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis)....

Giants sign Cody Ross, J-San, others to 2011 deals
Woohoo! Finally, some news from the Giants to report.
- Outfielder Cody Ross signed for $6.3 million, a raise over his $4.45 million 2010 salary. The NLCS MVP was acquired in a waiver claim from the Marlins on Aug. 22. He hits 14 home runs with 65 RBI and hit .269 last season.
- Starting pitcher Jonathan Sanchez signed for $4.8 million after earning $2.1 million in 2010. Sanchez was 13-9 with 3.07 ERA in 33 starts last season.
- Relief pitcher Ramon Ramirez agreed to a $1.65 million, after earning $1.155 million last year. Ramirez was acquired in a trade with the Red Sox last season. He went 1-0 with 0.67 ERA in 25 outings with the Giants.
- Also, relief pitcher Santiago Casilla reportedly agreed to a one-year deal for $1.3 million. Casilla made $400,000 in 2010, when he went 7-2 with a 1.95 ERA in 55 innings last season.
1 Comment
A little surprised that Sanchez got that much. I mean he didn't live up to expectations (then again some of them were extremely high). As for Ramirez, you can keep him. As a Red Sox fan I never really liked him and I don't think he is that good.

My three menstrual cycles after birth have been normal as well. I just can't figure out why the doctors would request that I wait. Does waiting increase your chances of a better outcome next time? Is there any literature or studies that goes over this?

I wanted to be pregnant right away- it seemed like it would help get my life back to where it was supposed to be. We wound up with unexplained infertility and it took us almost exactly a year to get pregnant with our second (we found out a few days after her first birthday). At the time, the waiting was so difficult. In retrospect, I'm so thankful that I had that year to be a mommy to her- it wasn't the way I anticipated that I would be a mommy to her, but I was. And in that year I got to make traditions that are just hers and mine that I've carried through over the years. It was nice for me and her to have that only child time and now with her lil' bro here and expecting our third, I still really cherish the time that I filled just thinking about her and doing things in her honor.

Baby and I are experiencing symptoms of overactive letdown...almost everything I read about. Spraying, gulping, burping, chocking, crying, pulling away! I am feeding one breast at a time. I am even feeding from one breast for every two feedings. It seems like she never empties my left breast. My right breast will empty.
Her stools are slightly green. Every night from about 8pm to 11am she cries, and screams! OH...I feel so helpless and sorry for her. She seems like she is in pain. She does not do that all day, just at night.
Some one please help me...I don't want to give up!

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Great theory, thanks for sharing!
hella sexy theory naruto with a sword (pro)
If its true then kishi planned it since chapter 11, if this is all coincidence, wow...massive coincidences...so its probably true, if its not, amazing coincidences, but its a nice reminder of how huge coincidences can be.
10/10 for the idea, not as cool as fox control etc but nevermind
Itachi's gift to Naruto is Akatsuki nail polish
this is a rele good theroy. i like the idea of naruto getting a sword but i doubt it will happen..
i think itachi's gift is probaly 2 block susanoo..
ok this is off topic but everyone is sayin how ameratsu is "unblockable" but correct me if im wrong sasuke and madara did put the flames out.. who knows mabye something will happen and naruto will put the flames out on his own..
thatz y i think its susanoo, i mean its itachi's only technique that hasnt been beaten yet.. juss thinking out loud so no one get mad

Please reply.............
i agree with this theory slightly more than the original one posted on this thread but both make sense
I think it's worth to note that Sasuke's kusenagi sword is completely straight. If it builds up to a final battle and Naruto has to use this "power" that Itachi gave him to counter Sasuke, then the contrast between a straight and an arced blade with the latter being the countering factor makes perfect sense.
Y'all might still be overthinking things though.. even tho Kishi has proven to draw quite some things out of old history the symbolic might not go that deep.
Thanks a lot tho, was a great and nevertheless a believable theory. Repz for joo.
Sorry... but this person is way off...
Yes, his thought process is right now target... but that "little crow" ... is Sasuke...
NOT some gift Itachi gave to Naruto...
The theory is historically accurate, but the person is directing the theory in the wrong direction...
Use all that "theory" knowledge and point it at Sasuke directly,.... and it makes 1000% more sense....
I read the other theory and that one sounds better, i mean naruto has learned alot of new techniques and if he gets a sword then the manga will be much longer because as we all know he isnt the most graceful of ninja and a sword would be very new to him and off again he goes to train (with the 8Tails possibly) whatever. The 3 legged Crow theory to me seems best and if its some technique that will stop ameterasu then it makes more sense, maybe naruto wont have to do anything maybe it'll just activate on reaction like with Sasuke burning Madara/Tobi, because if thats how itachi planted it thats how it will work. All in all both theorys are great but i like the crow better.
naruto showed us that he knows how to manage a sword, when he defended sakura with sai's sword...
isn't there a opening OR a ending..that we saw naruto with a sword ? x)
i found it: Naruto Shippuden Ending 6 Broken Youth

It's an interesting read and much more plausible theory than someone trying to feed us that Itachi's gift was actually a key toad, basing the argument on a mixed up manga sequence.

+Rep for you.
His Akatsuki coat was really nice too but, I guess Sasuke got that... Who's their tailor? He creats those coats really fast.

it's ectually could make sense if it only was the same sword but the swords looks very different. : / put a clue to the end of the series in the first volumes does sound like something that kishimoto san would do, but it just don't looks like it gonna happen.
but i'll give point just for the genius idea!
Last edited by ninryu; 07-12-2009 at 04:52 PM.
Ive been wondering about this forever. Almost every elite Shinobi has a weapon of choice and we still have yet to see Naruto's weapon.
Sounds like a pretty interesting idea and the proof matches so I wouldnt be so surprised. Would be pretty cool
well we can always hope naruto gets a sword its all up to kishi though
Naruto with a sword?sounds interesting...i hope he get a sword from one of bleach characters:D
if it is a sword, is this the one itachi used when he fought itachi and stabbed him several times in a second in tsokuyumi techinique when he and kisame went to konoha?
i would love to see a katana in naruto's hand...
sword looks very awesome and cool..

There is a monthly magazine concerning birds and all

Very old rumor that J J Audubon was the long lost
Dauphin of France. Persisted for years. Still hangs

The Investment and Marketing Corporation Saxony-Anhalt (IMG) is the location and marketing agency of the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt.
IMG personnel provide all services pertaining to the location in the state – from acquisition to start of production. IMG also markets the business and science location outwardly and is responsible for Saxony-Anhalt's national and international tourism marketing.
Tourism marketing
IMG is responsible for creatig a positive image of the travel destination Saxony-Anhalt. Based on results of market research, IMG develops strategic marketing concepts and pursues the further profiling of Saxony-Anhalt as a destination with a highly qualified offer of cultural attractions.
Saxony-Anhalt offers a variety of themes which can be individually combined according to the current requirements of the guest with such features as medieval architecture along the "Romanesque Road", idyllic "Garden Dreams" parks, sensational archaeological discoveries on the "Sky Paths" as well as active and nature experiences, but also the multiplier themes UNESCO and Martin Luther.
Saxony-Anhalt – Heartland of German history
No other place in Germany has conserved as much evidence of more than 1000 years of German and European history as the area of today's Saxony-Anhalt. Visitors can enjoy this whilst experiencing some of the most worthwhile sights in the world.
Four UNESCO World Heritage Sites are gathered here in some of the cosiest areas – the half-timbered town of Quedlinburg, Eisleben and Wittenberg (the hometowns of Martin Luther), the Bauhaus and Master's Houses in Dessau and as well as the garden kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz.
Travel in to the middle of the age of Romanesque on the statewide Romanesque Road, which connects 80 Romanesque churches, cathedrals, castles, palaces and monasteries. The treasures of the cathedrals in Halberstadt, Quedlinburg, Naumburg and Merseburg are particular highlights as well as the Magdeburg Cathedral.
In Saxony-Anhalt, historical park enthusiasts can discover 43 parks of 'dream gardens' including the garden kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz. Archaeology lovers should note the 'sky path' route, which awaits you with the State Archaeological Museum in Halle (Saale) and the original of the Nebra sky disc, the oldest sun observatory in the world in Goseck, as well as the 'Nebra Ark' visitor centre.
A cultural holiday in Saxony-Anhalt goes very well with nature sites and activities, such as cycling and hiking in the Harz mountains as well as pilgrimages along St. James' way or the 'Luther Way'. Everywhere, friendly hosts provide good service, serve regional specialities in cosy restaurants and offer lodging at modern hotels, campsites, bed and breakfasts and youth hostels.
UNESCO World Heritage Sites
There are four UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Saxony-Anhalt: the Bauhaus building and the Masters' Houses in Dessau, the Luther memorials in Wittenberg and Eisleben, the Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz and the city Quedlinburg with over half-timbered houses.
Martin Luther and the Reformation
Saxony-Anhalt is the Origin of the Reformation. 2017 is the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation, which began with Luther, who nailed his theses in Wittenberg at the church door. Original sites provide the setting for events of the Luther Decade "Luther 2017 - 500 Years of the Reformation," which takes annually changing themes in the focus. Highlights are the Cities Wittenberg and Eisleben.
Romanesque and the Middle Ages
The route connects 80 Romanesque places of interest - among them the cathedral treasures in Halberstadt, Quedlinburg, Merseburg and Naumburg.
Garden and Parks
The "Garden Dreams" includes 43 historic parks and gardens - among them the Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz (UNESCO World Heritage site).
Bauhaus and Modern
1925/26 Walter Gropius build the famous Bauhaus building in Dessau and the small settlement of the Masters' Houses, were the artists such as Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky and Lyonel Feininger lived and worked. Dessau became a center of modern design. The designs of the Bauhaus were pioneers of classical modernism.
Sky Paths
The original Nebra Sky Disc in the State Museum of Prehistory in Halle (Saale), the Nebra Ark Visitors' Centre, the Goseck Sun Observatory and the Dolmen Goddess of Langeneichstädt are on the itinerary along the archaeological route "Sky Paths".
Innumerable works of fine art are to be seen in the galleries and museums in Saxony-Anhalt. The State Art Museum is in Moritzburg Gallery in Halle. Historical collections, exhibits of arts and crafts and works of the classical modernism are complemented through thematic exhibitions. You will find the largest collection of old paintings in Saxony-Anhalt at the Anhalt Picture Gallery in Georgium Castle. Whoever is an enthusiast of contemporary art and sculptures should pay a visit to the "Kunstmuseum Kloster Unser Lieben Frauen" in Magdeburg.
Natural pleasure – breathe deeply in Saxony-Anhalt
Unique landscapes and a well-developed network of routes for hikers, cyclists, water sports enthusiasts and equestrians make Saxony-Anhalt a prime address for active holidaymakers and nature lovers.
Cyclists can ride through Saxony-Anhalt on 18 trans-regional bicycle trails. The Elbe Cycle Route, one of the most popular long-distance bicycle trails in Germany, is one of the family-friendly routes. Athletically ambitious mountain bikers will find a suitable tour in the Harz mountain region. The region between Dessau-Roßlau and Lutherstadt Wittenberg is recommended for recreational cyclists interested in culture. Three UNESCO-World Heritage Sites are concentrated in a very small area there: the Bauhaus building and the Masters' Houses in Dessau, the Luther memorials in Wittenberg and the Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz.
Particularly hiking fans get their money's worth in the Harz region where they will find a dense network of hiking trails - among them the 94 kilometre long "Harzer-Hexen-Stieg" (Harz Witches' Trail) and the "Selketal-Stieg" (Selke Valley Trail). Pilgrims are welcome in Saxony-Anhalt on the St. James Pilgrimage Trail as well as on the Luther Trail between the Luther cities Eisleben, Mansfeld and Wittenberg. The near-natural courses of the Elbe, Saale, Unstrut and Havel rivers are areas for those who like to hike along water.
The Altmark region in Northern Saxony-Anhalt is an ideal destination for those who love horses. The state's nature reserves such as the Harz National Park or the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve should be noted for nature observations.
Riding and equestrian vacation
The greatest happiness on earth … is also in Saxony-Anhalt sitiing in the saddle of a horse, particularly in the Altmark. Numerous riding stables and riding clubs offer short trips and extended tours. Experienced or inexperienced horseriders can enjoy the view of pristine countryside, meadows and floodplain landscapes while on horseback during an idyllic shore leave or an excursion.
The Fläming Nature Park invites visitors to enjoy rides and wagon trips. Horse lovers in the moor and heather areas meet on riding trails, small lanes and along the Elbe. Or do you prefer something more rasant? A faster gait is guaranteed on race days at the race tracks in Magdeburg and Halle (Saale).
New horizons – the Way of St. James pilgrimage route
Nowadays pilgrims can also encounter the pilgrimage song "Ultreia!" encouraging pilgrims "to go forward and onward to Santiago de Compostela!" in Saxony-Anhalt along the more than 370 km long trail. The trail leads to the grave of the apostle St. James and is one of the most important pilgrimage routes in Europe.
On the spiritual trail – the Luther Path
Pilgrims can travel in the footsteps of the great Reformer Martin Luther along the Luther Path. The 410 kilometer long trail leads hikers to the most important places of Luther`s life and work. Today Protestant as well as Catholic communities open up numerous churches and abbeys, cathedrals and chapels – stations of the "Romanesque Road" – and invite visitors to calmness, consciousness and prayers.
Saxony-Anhalt provides excellently furnished conference facilities and hotels for meetings and conferences as well as the suitable atmosphere for creative ideas. The state also provides a variety of offers for art and culture, lively cities and considerable leeway for allowing one's thoughts to wander while enjoying the view of broad landscapes and historic gardens.

In addition to the "allotment gardens" and "Cemetery Garden" shows Havel berg their "own" attractions a open private garden with a large orchard and a garden with tree peonies and illustrated ideas for using this plant, which came from China to Europe in the 16th century.
Accessible Tourism
Guests with physical and mental impairments can go on a journey of discovery in many Saxony-Anhalt cities without barriers. A "Best of World Culture between Harz and Elbe" brochure presents day trips in Dessau-Roßlau, Halberstadt, Halle (Saale), Wittenberg, Magdeburg, Naumburg (Saale), Quedlinburg and Wernigerode. Among other things, the day trips include a support program with visits to attractions and lunch in a barrier-free restaurant. If required, overnight stays in barrier-free accommodations and special tours can also be booked.
For instance, guests can stroll in the footsteps of the reformer Martin Luther in the Luther city Wittenberg (UNESCO World Heritage Site). A visit to the cathedral-city Naumburg and the Naumburg master's famous benefactor figure Uta is a must!
The fascinating landscaped garden of Wörlitz Park in the Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz (UNESCO World Heritage Site) is also advisable for people with a mobility handicap. A detailed color-coded site plan of the facilities provides information about suitable routes and levels of difficulty. The different levels of difficulty on the park's trails are marked in green, yellow and red in the style of traffic lights. It provides information about surface conditions, practicality of trails and informs about obstacles and barriers. Your guests will have eventful moments in the heartland of German history.

Dealing carefully with resources as well as with nature and the environment is important in Saxony-Anhalt. The 1st climate-neutral hotel in Middle Germany is a pioneer in terms of ecology-minded travel:
Naturresort Schindelbruch
As the 1st carbon-neutral hotel in Middle Germany registered with EMAS (EU Eco-Management and Audit Scheme), the "Naturresort Schindelbruch" hotel is one of the top addresses for wellness, fine dining, "green meetings" and of course for those who are interested in environmental protection, too. The topic of sustainability was incorporated into the hotel with the reconstruction in 2008. Among other things, an in-house water treatment system and a new pellet heating plant were installed. The hotel introduced the EMAS environmental management system, reorganized the waste management, converted to 100% green electricity and minimized the packaging volume. The pool is heated with the waste heat from cold stores via a heat exchanger and secures a portion of electricity requirement in a photovoltaic plant.
The hotel operation has been completely carbon-neutral since mid-2009. In addition to environmental protection, the hotel philosophy – "Discover – Enjoy – Preserve" – also entails the rediscovery of nature. Natural experiences, forest hikes and regional products as well as the "Veggie Day" contribute to this philosophy.
Saxony-Anhalt has got a lot to offer for everyone! Visitors can look forward to a rich history, historical sites and beautiful landscapes. It is the heartland of German history and thereby provides a vast number of travel ideas as well as new travel occasions every year.

I've heard nasty things as far as FE on the Wii. Mostly insofar that it's difficulty can be pretty maddening; a bad enough set up can mean the difference between a hard battle and being stuck on the game completely. That's what I've heard anyways.
Actually, unless you're playing the Maniac difficulty level on the Japanese version there's no way that you'd brick wall in FE10 without doing something monumentally stupid like leaving all your Nihil skill scrolls in your convoy before the final chapters, or purposely gunning for it by killing off all of your non essential characters. In fact, its probably the hardest game to completely screw yourself over with in the series (outside of Awakening) as the game has so many characters, many of whom are crutches, plus you have things like reusable skills, Bonus Exp, and forged weaponry to make anyone's life easier if they're having trouble, and of course, there's the usual stat boosters ready to give someone that much needed bump.

I like TP but I already have it on the GC, and Skyward Sword doesn't look at all interesting to me (the dungeons I saw videos of looked very... big empty room with a bunch of disconnected puzzles just kind of sitting there?). Never played ST5, but I... have it on the PS2.
Everything I've heard about The Last Story from people I've talked is pretty mixed but it... appears to have gotten good reviews? Dice? Aeo? I can't form my own opinion on anything because I am a wage slave and IBM at my soul????????
SS had two point five good dungeons (I liked the sixth one okay) in a game with only six proper ones and one kinda but not really a full dungeon.
The best description I can come up with The Last Story is Final Gears of Fantasy War. It really is much of its own thing and I haven't finished it yet so I can't exactly give an honest opinion about the game.
In my vision, I see that one of us is going to KO the other.

I beat Arkham City. Kind of underwhelming relative to how much ass Asylum kicked.
I agree. It felt like a real step down.
I just found out
my father is going insane at the mall
in Soul Hackers. This game is really scratching an itch I didn't realise I had.

Metal Gear Rising: I am never fighting Metal Gear Ray on revengeance mode ever again. That was... difficult. o.o
Saints Row The Third: Recently I've decided it's a lot less fun solo. it's still crazy and great, but it's more enjoyable laughing at all their crazy shit with a partner. I'm still only 43% through, but SRIV comes out today and I've pre-ordered and all that jazz. It unlocked on Steam last night and everyone seems to love it so far. Gonna try to co-op as much of it as I can with my purple-mohawked black chick who's suddenly the US president.

Finished Project Cross Zone. The good news is that no stage after chapter 31 has as many enemies thrown at you as that one did. The bad news is that I'd rather have 100 grunts rather than 30+ boss class enemies. Chapter 40 consisted of nothing but boss class enemies and chapter 41 has a few grunts but wave after wave of boss class enemies, and that's on top of the final boss himself who can almost one shot a unit from full health or MAP over half of the health of the four targets away while sticking nearly every status effect in the game on them. The final boss strategy pretty much comes down to only let those who have Cancel Enemy Counter skills/items attack the boss since it's way too costly to have to patch somebody up again from next to nothing, or worse, have them get targeted by one of the dozen or so boss class enemies kicking around. Thankfully, the time limit for the final stage lets up after you drop the barrier so you don't have to try to game your way through every encounter just to make it through the boss in time.
Basically, Haken and Kaguya (needs less than 50% HP), Toma and Cyrille, Frank and Hsien-ko (needs less than 50% HP), Chris and Jill (needs over 50% XP), Zephyr and Leanne, X and Zero, Bahn, Juri, and the accessory Sandra's Soul have a way to bypass enemy counters and thus are the best units/characters/item in the game. Bonus points for Haken/Kaguya, Frank/Hsien-ko, and X/Zero for also having the Atk+15% skill in some form. Extra credit for Haken/Kaguya for having said Atk+15% skill be part of a multi-skill skill, X/Zero for having ridiculous passives in either auto All Stats+10% when over 120% XP and reduced skill costs when under 100% XP, and Bahn for passing the +1 counter passive.
Anyways, time to continue on one of the many other games I've got running currently.
In my vision, I see that one of us is going to KO the other.

Toki Tori 2 - Headed towards the volcano. Actually I'm encountering lava already. Game's definitely ramped up the difficulty, but it's still really good about subtly showing you the mechanics of how stuff works.
Still don't get when the electrical bugs are killable and when they aren't.
Ys 2 - Noise dangles get!
Amalur - Got three daggers from some quest. Gonna finish that then do Coilsbane Cavern or wevz.
Something fun about Amalur is how the entire setting kind of... runs on game logic. The LARPing elves. The NPCs' proclivity towards creating appellations for themselves. That you're a guy in a non-linear game who's Cutie Mark is for not being bound by linear fate.
I really like watching the squirrels outside my apartment. Sometimes I meow at them and remember that squirrels don't meow.
--- edit ---
Twilight Princess - Just dicked around in Zora Village a bit. I think I'll do the snow dungeon then give this a break again.

Fire Emblem Awakening Lunatic Mode
Beat chapter 2 with the help of Frederick. I think I am relying on him too much which sucks up all the exp. As I am playing other games at the moment, my strategy is to get the barracks unlocked. Once that happens, I will go on every now and again and collect exp and weapons.

Really fun and I love the flow chart. It totally removed the back tracking that was in 999.

The battlesystem was nice combination of strategy and button bashing, and it's extra fun if you know most of the characters. However, final third of the game the battles just drag on and on and on... Not much variation either. One you get your final attacks you'll be performing the same combos over and over and over again.

The Last of Us - Damn, this game is brutal. Sometimes in a very real and disturbing way. If this was a movie people would be all up in arms over it.
I mean...
The Ellie sequence. She's stabbing guys to death with a knife. Not in a pleasant video game kind of way either. Then we have her confrontation with the bad guy boss in the restaurant or whatever it was. I got caught numerous times, and every time he macheted her. Then in the end she machetes HIM to bits! DAMN.
The exchange after this with Joel is touching, though. The poor guy has gone soft.
I SO know where this is headed, and I'm not excited about it.
This game is incredible.
I think I might try out Gone Home after this. Looks very interesting.
That Outland game mentioned in the Child of Light thread sounds good, too.

Thanks to the Japanese Developer sale on PSN I now have two more titles to add to my backlog...
Atellier Totori Plus and Muramasa.
Both games I wanted to play, but I figured at the prices they were being sold at with PS+, they were worth getting. Took a 2 hour spin of Totori, and I think I'm starting to grasp the game a bit? Never played any of the Atelier series before, but it seems like fun.
Muramasa will have to wait until I'm done with Xillia though.

My thoughts are that if you really enjoy, and are a big fan of, the series being represented in the game, it might be worth getting. If you're not a fan of the included series or don't care enough about them then you might want to give it a pass.
The gameplay is solid enough but the game definitely suffers from the same problem its predecessor Namco x Capcom did in that the late to end game turns into a slog. For reference, I had like 38 hours on the clock when I finished chapter 30, but I ended up with 76 hours when I finished the game at chapter 41. Its not even that the game is difficult, but it is demanding since you can't just skip battle animations like you can in a normal SRPG. Plus you have to have timing and keep a rhythm for battles to keep some measure of efficiency, have to be able to react to when things happen that you don't plan for, and later chapters become marathons that can take upwards to 4 hours to complete apiece. Fortunately, outside of exactly one stage (the one where you have to defeat four golden goblins), you are never in any real rush to complete a stage, even the ones with hard time limits tend to give you way more than enough time to complete whatever task you are trying to do. Unfortunately, pretty much every chapter after a certain point ditches the various win conditions for routes with maybe an added objective or two (fortunately, the final stage ditches the need to keep mission critical units alive otherwise Kogoro/Mii would be absolutely worthless during the stage for fear of getting dogpiled/two-shotted and having the player restart the entire stage again).
Anyways, the game's plot is largely an excuse plot.
The game's originals' villains' plan basically amounts to "The macguffin created the bad guys to essentially steal itself so that it can build power and merge worlds, all for the sake of reasons...", and this only comes out at the start of the game's last chapter. The game so doesn't take itself seriously that outside of one specific case, any drama the game has is immediately resolved within a minute or two of getting brought up. The overall plot starts with the 4 random prologues, then about 20 chapters of getting the band together, then spending 10 chapters stuck in dotHack's "The World" trying to fix it by finding a bunch of Auras and rubbing them together, then spending the remainder of the game tracking down the various villains who kept showing up and foiling their various plots. Honestly, the most sinister thing the original villains do in the game was eating the deluxe flan from Mii's fridge. As for representations go, I think the Sakura Taisen dude/ettes got the most mileage out of their game's plots, X and Zero weirdly enough got the most specific effort by including a fully voiced Iris for all of two scenes, dotHack got the most mileage out of their setting by spending a quarter of the game in cyberspace looking for Aura, Darkstalkers got the most persistence/visible villains, the fighting game characters are the most amalgamated, while guys like Frank West, Tron Bonne, and the Resident Evil folks got the least attention.
The cast interaction is pretty good though, probably the best aspect of the game and the real reason to get it. In fact that's the only reason why you shouldn't just optimize Solo unit pairings (outside of the gang splitting up again), since the some of the Solo character's reactions to whom they're paired with and vice versa can be pretty amusing (especially the former villains like Juri or evil aligned characters like Princess Devolette De Satan).
In my vision, I see that one of us is going to KO the other.

I agree it's a slog towards the end, but I never had that much trouble with Project X Zone. It took me 45 hours to finish, with some of the later fights taking 90-120 minutes to complete. I leveled units evenly and never had much trouble keeping them alive. The game is very generous when it comes to handing out low level items. Since you can use as much as you want in a single turn and on any allied unit on the map, it's very easy to get units back to safe health levels.

Recently started Saint's Row the Third for the first time, and also re-started Amalur.
Having a total blast with SR3. Too much fun. I love the extensive character customization. You can some up with some really offbeat and hilarious-looking people. I do miss the different fighting styles from the 2nd installment, but the melee system is still awesome on this one. This game is so much better than GTA IV in just about every way. It's infinitely more entertaining, for sure. The recently released 4th installment looks even more crazy, and I can't wait to try it out, but I don't believe in paying new release prices for games.
I decided to restart Amalur. I've never finished it before, but for some reason, I put it down and forgot about it for a while. This time, I am going all brute force. It's proving to be more fun than the stealth attacks of my last character. Running into the middle of a group of enemies and smashing the absolute shit out of them is gratifying as hell.
I'm obviously putting ability points into melee and hardiness. Skill points are mostly going into smithing and sagecrafting. I want this guy to eventually be able to create some killer equipment. I understand it can make the game much easier, and it kind of already has, but I can always wear crappier stuff if I want more of a challenge. Got my dude at level 7 now.

3 Maxims For Successful Negotiation
Originally published: 05.01.11 by Carl Van
Focus on proving your point with facts instead of arguing.
If you are a fan of the show "Seinfeld," you'll remember an episode in which George concludes that every single decision he had made in his past was wrong. So he incorporates a new philosophy: Do the opposite of what he thinks he should do. And from that point forward, he does. Of course, things work out very well for him — for a while.
I have observed three maxims of great negotiators. The next time you need to persuade an employee or coworker to do something differently, try these instead of arguing:
1. Don't argue about "reasons" why something should or shouldn't be done. Present facts.
When you argue with someone's reasons, you are trying to prove them wrong.
Many contractors, for example, face an argument from technicians when they install GPS vehicle-tracking. Some technicians feel they are being "spied on" or that their boss doesn't trust them. A good response would be to present the facts: "Fuel and maintenance costs have risen X percent over five years, and we estimate we can take 3,000 miles off of each truck per year with better navigation. This will save the company X amount of money, which makes us a stronger, more stable employer with more money to invest in training and salaries."
If you still encounter resistance, move to Maxim 2.
2. Demonstrate you understand the other person's point of view.
Let's return to the GPS example.
Mike is telling Paul that the company will be installing GPS-tracking devices in each vehicle over the next month and providing training for technicians, who will be required to use devices as demonstrated. After he explains the reason behind the GPS sytem purchase as described above, Paul still is not convinced, says he is insulted, and he doesn't want to use the GPS.
Mike: Well, why not?
Paul: Because, you will just use it against me to say I'm not working hard enough and to spy on me.
Mike: Why would I use that against you? That doesn't make any sense.
Here is a better way for Mike to handle Paul's resistance:
Mike: O.K. Can I ask why?
Paul: Because, you will just use it against me to say I'm not working hard enough and to spy on me.
Mike: You know, I can understand why you would be concerned. This is new for all of us. I just want to let you know that the purpose of the GPS is not to use the information against you. In fact, we have plans to use the GPS to document good driving and productivity so we can reward them with bonuses.
Did you see how Mike took the time to acknowledge Paul's concern? Notice he did not agree with it or disagree with it. He just acknowledged where Paul was coming from so that Paul knew his feelings were reasonable. The fact that Mike took the time to do this paved the way for Paul to change his mind.
If, however, Paul hadn't changed his mind, the next step would be to go to Maxim 3.
3. Return to the facts.
Mike did something else skillful. After he acknowledged Paul's concern, he went back to facts, and this time presented new ones. As you negotiate, keep remembering that you are not trying to prove the other person wrong; you are trying to prove that what you have to say is right.
To keep yourself calm and focused, keep going through this cycle each time the person indicates they won't cooperate:
1.Ask why they don't want to cooperate.
2. Acknowledge their reason(s) as valid.
3. Return to the facts.
You will find that persuading others to change their behavior with this method is easier and a whole lot less stressful than arguing and trying to prove another person wrong.

- Abstract
- Jupiter's low and mid-latitudes are examined using ultraviolet (UV) images obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 over the period of 1994-1997. Effective atmospheric pressures probed by the F160W, F218W, and F255W are estimated at 100, 165, and 370 mbar, respectively, at low latitudes. Far-ultraviolet images of Jupiter taken with the F160W filter reveal bright and dark latitudinal bands at low and mid-latitudes. These bands were found to be correlated with the zonal winds; the bright bands are at latitudes of subsidences, and the dark bands at upwellings. The sense of this correlation is opposite to that seen in visible images of Jupiter where the bright zones are located over upwellings, and dark belts over subsidences. The locations of the dark bands seen in the F160W images are consistent with enhanced concentrations of NH3 and/or aerosols in the upwellings near the tropopause. Anticyclonic ovals, like the Great Red Spot, are regions of upwellings, and also appear dark in the F160W images. Temporal variations were also observed in the contrast of the low-latitude bands. An increase in the contrast of the low-latitude bands appeared to coincide with a visible wavelength broadening of the North Equatorial Belt that occurred in early to mid-1996. Changes at mid-southern latitudes were observed in the aftermath of the SL-9 impacts in July 1994.

Will The Real Cole Hamels Please Stand Up?
Where has the NLCS and the World Series MVP gone? Certainly, he is not the same pitcher who is currently 4-5 with a 4.98 ERA? Oh heck, make it an even 5.00. And tonight, his problems were more magnified than ever; Cole Hamels pitched only 4+ innings and allowed 7 earned runs as the Phillies went down 1-11. Seven runs against an Atlanta team that everyone said had NO offense; well, I guess they were just waiting for the Phillies to come to town.
But what is the problem with Hamels? First, he is leaving way too many pitches up in the zone. This is not his typical style, but suddenly, it has become a real issue. Second, he is pitching frustrated. In recent days, the previously cool and confident Hamels has become a whiny crybaby with the umpires and has a general look of dissatisfaction on his face all the time. But why? For a guy who has had this much success at a young age, he has no reason to pout…with the exception maybe of his last several outings. He was the 2008 World Series MVP…he bought a brand new luxury condo in Philly…his wife is expecting their first child…everyone worships him. So, what is the issue? Where did the smile go?
Then again, this entire team has seemingly lost their Mojo over the past month. Just ask Jimmy Rollins; in fact, the only guy who's Mojo appears untouchable is Chase Utley who is still batting .301 despite his team's struggles. And where has Ryan Howard's big bat disappeared to? He has not hit a home run since June 20th (that is 32 at-bats) and is hitting .240 overall this past month. The most feared offensive team in the league has turned into a welcome relief to opposing pitchers who are now anxious to mow the Phillies down.
This is where Charlie Manuel's short comings will come to light. Don't get me wrong, I love Charlie. He has been the manager that this team has needed and he performed THE miracle by bringing the World Series Championship home. And Charlie is a super nice guy; but that is exactly the issue. He is too nice sometimes. Sorry Charlie, but it is time to start banging heads together in that clubhouse. The "nice" approach worked for two games, and now, they are right back in a funk.
Not only that, but he should manage without worrying about making everyone happy. When asked why he started Paul Bako at catcher tonight, a career bench guy, Manuel said he felt that because Bako was there with the team, he needed to play sometime. I hate to disagree, but as the manager, Manuel does not owe anyone anything. It is not Manuel's job to soothe ego's; it is his job to win games. And no offense to Bako, but he is hardly the spark plug this team needs right now. Forget about getting guys their playing time; play the guys who will produce. And if Rollins cannot hit, move him down in the line-up. There is no sense in him getting 5 at-bats a game when other players are hitting better. No one cares how unhappy it makes Rollins, and neither should Charlie. Get him out of the funk, then move him back. Jimmy should be willing to do what is best for the team, and he knows that. A little tough love is in order here. The rest of the NL East is creeping right up on top of the Phillies and they will be out of first place this week if nothing changes.
The New Starter?
Rodrigo Lopez will, at least for now, occupy the hole left in the line-up by Brett Myers who is down for the season after hip surgery. Lopez pitched for the Rockies in 2007, then had Tommy-John surgery. Coming back from his injury, he signed a minor league deal with the Phils in March and has gone 5-4 with a 3.91 ERA in 13 starts this season with the AAA Iron Pigs.
Most expected to see Carlos Carassco in this spot, but that is not the way it will pan out. However, this move may be a sign that GM Ruben Amaro Jr. has a trade in the works and did not want to bring up a young gun for a spot start. If you are going to bring in a guy like Carassco, you are probably thinking that he will be in long term. Since they did not do that, it leads me to think there may be something cooking. Let us hope so…
Last Day To Vote
One day left; please keep VOTING for your Phillies All-Stars. VOTE up to 25 times per day, per email address! Voting ends at 11:59 PM ET tomorrow, Thursday, July 2, 2009.

Just love your blog, way to colorful to be stuck here in MLBlogs, should be sindicated into a coloumn or something by a Philly newspaper. I agree about the Lopez/Carrasco thing, lets hope it is part of a we wanna trade thing.
Outsidere Looking In.
I literally just spent the last 30min voting, I would have liked to see Shane get a spot on the all-star team, but he's still in 5th place. And as for tonight's game, or lack there of, it was painful to watch. The worst part about Hamels is that no one seems to know exactly what is wrong with him. I'm not gonna lie, I'm getting worried. We need Raul back.
The Braves are a better team then people think. And it is frustrating being "arm-chair" managers and not understanding the moves of our teams. Good luck!
Maybe the Mets made a deal and put a hex on Hamels after his "choke artists" comment, as it appears he can do nothing BUT choke these days. Still lots of time left, but still, pretty aggravating if you're a Phils fan.
I can't believe that the Phillies will have both Lopez and Park on their roster. Are there really no minor leaguers in their system who are better than those 2???
I know they took a hit with Bastardo going on the DL, but seriously…Rodrigo Lopez? But I guess there isn't a better place to start him than against the AAA lineup of the Mets right now.
This Hamels situation is very strange. He's been close to absent as a productful pitchers this season after being the MVP in multiple playoff series' last season. What's up???

Falafel King recalls hummus, chili wraps
- published_in
- Today's News
No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with the products, said Anmon Gilady, an owner of the company. Boulder-based Falafel King Enterprises is the wholesale-product arm of the Boulder Falafel King restaurant chain.
Gilady said that chilies from Bueno Foods in Albuquerque, New Mexico, might be the origin of the potential listeria contamination.
Falafel King has switched to frozen green chilies from Vegetable Products in Salem, New Mexico, to use in its products, Gilady said. As an added precaution, company employees are heating Vegetable Products' chilies to a high temperature to kill bacteria before using them in Falafel's products, he said.
Falafel King's Hatch Green Chile Hummus comes in a 10-ounce clear plastic container with a black-rimmed lid. The recall sell-by dates are 2/14/2014 through 3/16/2014, which is printed above the back label of the container. The Hatch Green Chili Hummus Wrap is individually wrapped in clear plastic wrap. The wraps have a sticker printed with a "sell by" date of 01/28 through 02/27.
The Hatch Green Chile Hummus is one of Falafel King's most popular wholesale products, Gilady said. He estimates the company may lose about $20,000 from the recall. Company revenue was in the $2 million range in 2013, Gilady said.
"It's unfortunate. I eat it, and we take it home for dipping. We just decided to do this as a precaution to be extra careful. We want customers to be super protected," Gilady said.
Falafel King's products have no preservatives and a 30-day shelf life. The recall is dated back to Friday, Feb. 14, which is when Falafel King became aware of the Bueno Foods issue, Gilady said. The company decided to issue the voluntary recall for the 30-day period in question after consulting with U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials, he said.
Symptoms of listeriosis, the illness caused by the bacteria, include headache, nausea, stiffness, abdominal pain and diarrhea. The illness can cause stillbirth and miscarriage in pregnant women.

Venice is one of the most interesting lovely cities in Europe and the whole world. This place may not seem huge but it is. Venice is made of different boroughs. The most famous is the area comprising the 118 islands in the main districts that are called "Sestieri" and they are: Cannaregio, Castello, Dorsoduro, San Polo, Santa Croce and San Marco, where the main monuments and sights are located. The apartment is located in San Marco's district, very close to the architectures masterpiece Basilica di San Marco.

Good position for traveling in and around Venice with direct links from the airport. Really fascinating area with lots of local amenities.It's in the middle of a thriving community so quite vibrant and noisy particularly on the stairs of this seven storey building.The apartment is very well appointed and equipped in the main although perhaps not enough lounge furniture to accommodate 6 people comfortably. Cooking facilities were great which was a bonus.The local wine shop is amazing and the man who runs it very helpful and friendly.
Die Unterkunft im alten Getto war sehr schön, super! Nur bei der Ankunft und bei der Abreise, (Morgen früh angereist und Abends spät abgereist) leider waren die Flugzeiten so. Ist es kompliziert mit der Schlüssel Übergabe oder besser gesagt zum Gepäck einstellen. Auch gab es keine Angabe wie man am besten zur Wohnung kommt so haben wir das Wassertaxi orange Linie genommen die Station war gerade in der nähe der Wohnung. Leider mussten wir dann mit dem Gepäck durch die Stadt laufen zum Hotel Alegro Marin und bei so viel Leuten war das sehr mühsam. Auch ist bei Wimdu die Hausnummer falsch so mussten wir die Wohnung suchen. Wir würden aber diese Wohnung trotz allem wieder buchen, vielleicht wird ja alles besser und es gibt in Zukunft einen Plan wie vom Flughafen am besten zur Wohnung und wo die Schlüsselübergabe stattfindet. Das wäre sehr hilfreich.

Very nice flat in a perfect location. Arrival was very well organised, pick up form the boat stop. Flat is really spacious with two bed rooms, living room and kitchen. From the kitchen you have a lovely view on the canal.
The beds are not the most comfortable ones but for 4 nights totally ok.
We can def. recommend this flat.
Great appartment in a lovely quarter of Venice!
It was a great experience at Giacomo's flat.It's in a very old building(from 1400/1500 i guess),the house is really big and well furnised(even if with such a nice house i would make some improvment to make it even more great).
Great location,10 minutes walking from station,10 minutes from Rialto.
Giacomo was very welcoming and kind host.
Absolutely recommended!

We had a very warm welcome from Giacomo and Giulia, and we really loved the apartment. Everything you need is there (even coffee), and the rooms and the view are stunning - and really charming!
Lovely flat, huge rooms and great location (almost straight on to the Zattere). Clean, convenient and exceeded expectations.
Friendly and helpful owner.
I stayed here in august 2015. Very nice flat in quiet location.(The outside is not very fancy, but inside it is clean and nice.) Good air-condition, which was very important at the time, it was very, very hot. The garden is very nice, if it wasn't so hot we would have used it a lot. Nice restaurants close to the flat, short walk to water bus. A lot of tourists like us - would like to come back at a less busy period (if that exists), and would like to come back to the same flat.
The flat is in a very nice quiet area with a lot of restaurants. It's just 10 minutes from train station and close to the main sights (rialto, boat stop to murano,...). A supermarket and shops/bakeries are just 5 minutes away.
Our host was very friendly and helped us a lot - good and fast.
We loved the balcony with the view on the canal. The flat is clean and you have everything you need for your stay (towels, bed linen, dishes,...)
