Re: Tekken 7 improvements *Spoiler *
IMO, the reason why T6 was lopsided, is because it tried to cater to the 'casual gamer'. THAT crap needs to go. Tekken, in no way shape
or form is a casual fighter.

No it is more for the hardcore players.
Re: Tekken 7 improvements *Spoiler *
^Idk bout you, but I had plenty of newbies and casual gamers try out this game and based on the way they played after their 5th match or so, I'd definitely say this game was more catered towards casual gamers.
Sorry for the long post!
Anyways, some points that you have made:
1. "Scenario Campaign mode was the worst thing that could ever happen in Tekken 6..."
I'll agree with you that it wasn't one of the best things they have done, but if you look into the past with the other stuff that they've done (Tekken Force , Devil Within ) it's really nothing new. They all weren't that great, but honestly, why are you judging a fighting game on the non-fighting portion of the game? If anything, the best solution would be for them to make something like Tekken Ball (Tekken 3) or Tekken Bowl (Tekken Tag) as something for you to do when you want to take a break from the fighting. Now, about unlocking stuff... well, that's just part of the game that's been there since Tekken 5, and also, the only stuff that was locked were characters to use in Scenario Campaign mode and not in Arcade mode, so there really wasn't a huge necessity to unlock them anyway. Also, although the only reasonable way to get money for items in this game was through Scenario Campaign mode, you could also use them for character customization just from those dropped item boxes in Scenario Campaign mode. Essentially, this mode is already optional to the player so I don't understand how you think that this is anything other than being optional.
2. "In addition, the ranking system in Tekken 6 was downright intolerable..."
Yea... in Tekken 5 DR online, people have been known to cheat the system in order to get their "Tekken Lord" rankings, and truthfully, I thought it was nice that they gave a certain cap to the rankings outside of online because it sends out the message that "you need to earn that crazy high ranking." If anything, the biggest fix that needs to be made is the online lag, or better yet, the online experience in general because it is infuriating when you can't do diddly-squat because the lag prevents you from inputting the proper moves. Now, as you say, "online should be treated like a bonus feature," well, then go choose to play offline mode and ease up on complaining about ranks because the point of a ranking system should be to gauge your playing skills with everyone that plays and not just your neighborhood friends.
3. "Furthermore, the causal gamer should not be trapped in the corner in endless juggles in Tekken 7..." (Sorry, I'm essentially going paragraph by paragraph)
Yes, getting caught in a juggle is no fun, but it is extremely rare to see someone pull off a one-hit kill juggle (do they even exist?) or even something that's going to bring you all the way down to rage mode from full health. In fact, I think that was one of their major improvements from Tekken 5 to try and shorten up the juggles so that they would be a method of punishment for a bad move than as an opening. Plus, ukemis (quick ground recovers) and multi-direction rolling is there to help you safely get off the ground.
Next, you want to really punish turtles (players that block all the time)? Like others have mentioned, hit low when they're blocking high, and hit mid when they're blocking low, I mean they also have that in Soul Calibur too. In addition, you have throws available so use them too (if your opponent is able to escape all your throw attempts, you're either playing against a hard-core gamer which means your match wasn't going to be that fair to begin with or someone who is really lucky).
Also, you want a Tag/Team Battle mode? Sure, why not, but wait, don't we already have that with the Team Battle mode? If you're complaining about tag, then you're now asking for whole different kind of fighting game. Plus, you were complaining about making the game more appealing to casual gamers? You're gonna find that a lot more people will start to complain having to be semi-acquainted with those 80+ moves that each character in Tekken has for 2 characters in order to not be completely stuck in the dark.
4. "Finally, Character customization needs to be upgraded. The character customization in Tekken 6 was too limited. The causal gamer is sick of the Character Customization system. It is no fun and very lame."
I needed to have that last two sentences in because this comment particularly irked me (sorry! (^.^')). Mainly, it's because, this is one of the reasons why I got turned off from Soul Calibur 4. The character customization system in Tekken 6 was simple enough that you could personalize your character in so many different ways to express yourself. Granted, I did wish that they had a little bit more various items to play around with, but it was simple and done. By introducing a Soul Calibur 4-like character creation into a game like Tekken 6, people will then have no way to figure out who they're playing against in a fashion similar to a Mokujin vs. Mokujin match. In Soul Calibur 4, each character held a different and distinct weapon based on their fighting style that it was still easy to figure out who you were playing against. In Tekken, where everyone is fighting essentially hand-to-hand, except for a unique few, introducing something like that will just bug everyone because aside from the few unique stances, everyone will look the same.
Personally, I agree that Tekken 6 wasn't one of the ground-breaking Tekkens like 3, 5 and Tag, but these were the improvements that I really needed:
1. Improvement on online system because lag single-handedly destroyed the potential of this game.
2. Something more entertaining to do besides Scenario Campaign mode. I mean, they've tried and basically failed with almost every incarnation of Tekken, but here's to hoping.
3. Make Scenario Arcade mode longer or recombine it with Arcade mode as we already have a ghost battle mode anyways when we want to play with the AI for long periods of time anyways.
4. Load times need to be dealt with. It's annoying seeing people play this game on the Xbox with little to no load times while we gotta wait for that extra 30-40 seconds.
5. Graphics need to be upped. This is understandably difficult as they were pretty good, but as a result, it gamers that feel of little to no change from Tekken 5 to Tekken 6.
6. Bigger variety of items would be nice.
7. Finally, please, let me have a customizable ID for second player/ have a rotation mode with different users!
I'm not trying to be harsh on you or anything, but this is what I thought were the most needed improvements. From what I've seen though, the reason why Street Fighter 4 is so much more popular that Tekken 6 is more of the fact that a) Street Fighter hasn't done anything in a while so a lot of people were really curious as to what they had to offer, b) some people just like using fireballs along with a much smaller moveset because it makes it deceptively (I say deceptively because you then get slapped in the face with all the hard-core stuff you have to learn in trade) easier while making it flashier, and c) some people prefer seeing really flashy effects along with things like super combos and ultra combos over the realistic vibe that Tekken always tried to give off. Tekken 6 definitely had its' flaws I wouldn't really call it one of the most disappointing games (well, after you remove scenario mode anyways lol).

"Furthermore, the causal gamer should not be trapped in the corner in endless juggles in Tekken 7. The game should have a juggle escape move or something like that. The causal gamer should also have a guard breaker attack to stop coward players from blocking attacks all day."
Yo, seriously? Tekken has NEVER had this kind of **bleep** and NEVER will. Juggles are what makes Tekken, Tekken. And guard break? Seriously? Guess what. If they block high, go low, if they block low, go mid. Its a simple concept really. This isn't Street Fighter and its not Soul Calibur. Your suggestions are terrible and its very clear you've never played Tekken before DR. I beg to disagree. Tekken was fine with the ground game until Tekken 5 introduced the constant aerial combo. Nothing wrong with that, but the ridiculous lenght of it in 6 is mind boggling. But I do disagree too with the "Juggle Escape" thing.
And to continue:
"1. Bring back the humongous arenas from Tekken 4. Everything was destructable and you couldn't run out of space unless you tried. And that will end the constant corner trap."
This isn't DoA. T4 was terrible. Take the time to learn and get out of the corner. If you are "trapped" its because you are doing dumb **bleep**. Sure, you can get out of the corner, at the loss of about half-3 quarters of you're health.
"2. I enjoy the aerial combos, but they last way to long. I once had a fight with Miguel, and the entire match was an aerial combo. I made a simple mistake and he took off."
So you are saying mistakes shouldn't be punishable? That's rich. Sure, mistakes should be punishable, but make it so that one mistake isn't an automatic KO.
"3. Please, please oh please Namco, please make the story understandable."
Since when do people playing fighting games for story? I bet you think SF4's story is amazing though, huh? Well, there are those of us that prefer the single player side, and we want quality to that. No, SF4's story was medicore. I had rekindled hope with BlazBlue having a great story and said to myself "Hey, maybe other fighing games will deliver a great story and a great online." But I guess that won't happen.
"4. The Scenario Campaign..... get rid of it."
"5. Improve online."
"6. Get rid of rage, it is extremely annoying. Also, it doesn't work becasue you could be dead when the thing comes on."
Rage is fine, just tone it down a little. Sure, tone it down a little, but when you're health is below 10%? Or 20? Really, it'd be a bit more helpful if it was below 30-35.
"7. Improve the graphics, not as nice as Soul Caliber 4 imo."
....Yeah, sorry the clothes don't rip like in SC4 so you can get your 16 year old rocks off.
"Tekken 6 was a huge letdown. I was hoping for it to be the thing that brought fighting into the spot light. But no. Guess I'll be going for Continuum Shift."
This alone says it all. Namco isn't going to degrade their whole game on the basis that some "casual gamer" can't block, or gets punished everytime they wiff or do something stupid. Stop mashing buttons like a retarded monkey trying to mash a square block into a round hole and maybe, just maybe, you'll enjoy the game that much more. So, if we don't find it fun, we are automatically stupid?

Re: Tekken 7 improvement Petition *Spoiler *
After taking a second look, I guess that the stages could be a tiiiny bit bigger because, after tying to start having Bruce as my main, I realize that a decent portion of his strategy relies on pinning your opponent to the wall which is just plain mean lol. However, the rage system is a pandora's box for me. It might come in a little too late, but at the same exact time, it just means for tekken 6 that you should just play without thinking about rage, and I don't want it to get adjusted to a point where rage is abusable.

Tekken 6 is a great game. If you want to be good at it. stop complaining and learn the damn game. Boards dont hit back lol
I, among a lot of people here, have been playing the Tekken games since they came out. I think what he is saying that in general the game itself was under his expectations. Everyone here can agree that tekken in general is a great game series, even tekken 6 when just fighting against bots. However, for it's generation, this tekken game needs to fit certain criteria, such as: Easy online play, decent story (this story was extremely random and pointless), and more of a customization that makes you want to unlock something (not fight because you feel like you have to, to unlock a combat weapon, or a stupid animal that cost 500,000). It would be nice to only start with a few people like in the other tekken games, and unlock more characters, and even secret characters.
Re: Tekken 7 improvements *Spoiler *
honestly i bought my ps1 just for tekken 2. i didn't jack squat about juggles til i met my best friend and he raped me with jin lol. now i moved up tekken after tekken and now this is what i think they should do.
they should just ditch the story mode idea cause it was horrible. they promised us coop but screwed us on that too. yea they gave us coop but not what i was expecting. i never really saw they difference in damage with and without the rage but its whatever. i want them to improve on the customizing and make it like soul calibur 3 and 4 where u can make a character from scratch and give them a move set from original characters. i mean who wouldn't wanna see a sexy girly continuous grabbing like King?. give us more variety of items to use for kicks during games, if possible try and incorporate it in juggles like bryan's shotgun. speaking of bryan, bring back the voice actor from tekken 5 for bryan cause he sounds horrible now. may the stages more like tekken 4 where everything is breakable and also give us equal stages with no walls at all cause i hate walls. i don't care for falling through the ground it was pointless to have in the first place. bring tag team back in tekken 7 cause creating a TTTT2 wouldn't be any different than just adding kunimitsu cause most the other characters are better clones of the old ones. bring back the way the rooms were organized like making ur own room title and allowing ranked matches with friends. fix the loading screens and the insane lag. i never experienced lag in blazblue nor street fighter 4 so why is tekken so laggy online? i wish dr. B became playable again but he is dead according to the story. also allow other people besides the room host to invite friends like ssf4 and also do something similar to ssf4 trial challenges so it can teach noobs how to do combos. this is just to name a few and if you can add at least 8 more characters that would be great.
Re: Tekken 7 improvements *Spoiler *
Spoiler alert
Really, abandoning the story mode for Tekken would be like abandoning the entire series. I didn't understand the story for 6, the only thing I DID get was Jin dying and his reason for it. Maybe, we can ignore everything that happened in 6 and start anew in 7!!!!! The only thing would be to ressurect Jin.
Agreed with the arenas from 4, loved the effect that everything was breakable, the places were huge and open, along with people being added to the scene.

Re: Tekken 7 improvements *Spoiler *
These are the improvements I want for Tekken 7:
- Each character to have their own indivisiual themes (Like in Tekken 2 and Tekken 3).
- Tag Team Mode.
- Mini-Game mode (Bowling, Beach Ball, etc.)
- Tekken Force Mode.
- Character Creation (Make your own Character).
- Unlock extras through other modes rather then only Sienario Campaign.

PaganSquare is a community blog space where Pagans can discuss topics relevant to the life and spiritual practice of all Pagans.
Contemplation and Creativity (Pagan Blog Project)
I'm going to take a short break from my series of posts on Odin's heiti to ramble on about a few topics that are a little more personal, both because I haven't done so for a while and because I haven't been able to find any heiti for Him that begin with C. (Chieftain and Creator, maybe, but the actual names that incorporate those concepts don't begin with C in Old Norse, because Old Norse does not contain the letter C. Maybe that post will come to me next week.)
As regular readers may have noticed, I haven't been doing as much posting as usual, and that's been for a few reasons. One is that this is turning out to be a year heavy on study, training and contemplation for me, and a lot of the latter is difficult to get into words at times. January was not a good month for me, energy-wise, and I haven't posted a new oracular seidhr schedule yet because I spent much of the first month of the year recovering from Yule. (Schedule is coming soon, I promise!) The month began well enough, with the usual hopes and plans for the new year, and ended with the revelation that our dog, Corbie J., is indeed in the beginning stages of congestive heart failure. So. He is on maintenance meds for that, and it looks like we may have caught it early enough to be able to extend his life, hopefully for a few years.
But still, there is a weight there before that had not been there previously, a shadow on my heart. The promise of future loss. We have to pretend that shadow isn't there to avoid upsetting the dog, since that would obviously not be good under the circumstances, but you have probably noticed—and will continue to—me scrambling to get yarn spun and ritual cords made, and to work on other long-delayed projects for my store such as art batts for spinning, bags of loose hand dyed locks and add-ins for carding, cords for knot spells, witches' ladders, jarred beeswax candles, oils and incenses, prayer beads, perhaps video tutorials, anything and everything I can do towards continuing my process of pursuing disability and leaving my office job while at the same time being able to help pay for our household needs and afford the dog's expensive medicines and my own. (Not to mention our one cat, Berzerker, who is on expensive meds of his own, for severe allergies that cause him to break out with pustules if his steroids are stopped.) My first thought, when new unavoidable expenses such as this come up (besides the meds, Corbie will need more frequent doctor visits, and the one from last week was over $300 with all the tests) is always "I'll go back to working full time." But Jo actually gets angry when I propose this, because we both know I can't; I am on 25 hours per week now, and sometimes too sick to get to work even with those reduced hours, so we both know that it's only with extreme effort and will that I keep on working the hours I've got now.
So, creation driven by need is a big factor in my life right now, and I don't think that's a bad thing; Nauthiz is a powerful motivator, and there's nothing to get me away from dithering around on the internet and applying myself to my creative prospects like the fear of not being able to provide for my family. It helps that I truly love creating in all its forms and in many mediums; carding and spinning are my favorites but I also enjoy mixing herbs, designing and stringing beads, knitting, dyeing, formulating fragrances, pouring candles. I even enjoy photographing my creations and showing them off online—though perhaps less so than actually making them.
Which brings us to writing. Yes, I am going to finish the book I was working on during NaNoWriMo in the fall, and I have plans for at least one other book that will probably emerge next year. A lot of my writing spoons have been taken up, this past month, by a course Jo and I have been taking, but I will find a way to get writing time for other projects back into my schedule on a regular basis, at least after the inventory in my store has been pumped up a bit more. There may be a class or two (designed and taught by me, I mean) in my future as well!
As for the courses I myself am taking right now, I've already mentioned one of them: Journey to the Golden Fleece, a course on fiber creativity approached through the lens of the classic hero's journey. It's an intriguing class, and I've already learned quite a bit in the way of new techniques, design skills, and spinning inspirations. (Right now my shop is paying for this, but I might need to give it up if that changes. Corbie's meds trump all.) The other class came as a surprise to me; we probably wouldn't be taking it if Jo hadn't been out of work for a week with a back injury last year, because if she hadn't been confined to bed we wouldn't have discovered the remarkable Ahneke Greystone through her You-Tube videos. Check out Jo's very thorough description of what attracted her both to Anni and to the course itself here, but let me add that for me, the discovery of Anni was like an antidote to a lot of the poison that I feel is seeping through the community these days. I have stayed out of the polytheist/pagan debates for the most part because while I am a hard polytheist, I am also sort of a hybrid: I am Odin's priestess and seidhrkona, and my devotion is woven into every part of my life, but I am also a witch, an artist and crafter, so my practice manifests itself in ways that may not seem as valid to many people as kneeling before my altar for hours each day would be, perhaps. I don't know how we can expect to resolve in a single generation the sorts of issues that have plagued the Big Three religions for centuries or millenia. Also, I am not interested in spending precious time bickering with other pagans and/or polytheists on the internet when there are things to make, books to write, time to spend with my family and my gods and spirits (who are also family, to me) and animals to snuggle.
Anni comes from a background in Traditional Wicca and that is very evident in her teachings, but she is secure in her own tradition and her own power, and not threatened by people who do things differently. I became addicted to her You-Tube videos, and got very excited about her Season of the Seeker course—but then nearly decided to quit after the first few weeks because it seemed to be dealing with such very basic basics, with self-work and shadow-work I've already been through and done. But as Jo put it, you can't say you want to go back to basics and then refuse to really do that, and as I actually began to apply myself to the sessions I began to see patterns emerge in my own history and my responses to it that I had not recognized before. And in order to truly claim your own sovereignty, to truly step into it and operate from it, you have to know yourself backwards and forwards. This is very much part of Odin's path as well: how can you succeed in expanding your consciousness and fully exploring other realms if you don't truly know yourself first, if you haven't thoroughly explored the realms within yourself? This is yet another example of how I continually do things backwards: I jump right into the deep end of the pool and somehow stay afloat without ever learning the basic swimming strokes. Well, I've decided to go back and learn some of them now, and I've already seen a deepening of my trance work practices as a result. So, for this reason, I would highly recommend Anni's course even to fairly advanced practitioners who know a thing or two, like myself. Odin Himself never assumes He knows it all; He is always searching, seeking, and discovering new things, and He encourages me to do the same. After helping us to distill the essence of what we each are and what our individual practices consist of, the course is now moving on into elemental balancing, which I'm very excited about.
Anni has, tantalizingly, mentioned a follow up course to this one, the Season of the Dedicant, which I'm also hoping to take. As I may have shared here before, I began my spiritual journey in Wicca, and—as I haven't mentioned yet—have been feeling a pull back in its direction for the past year or so, as Odin continues to urge me to expand the boundaries of my practice. This is exciting to me; for years, I had turned my back on Wicca largely due to the prejudice against it in Heathenry (I get it, people tend to lump Heathens in with Wiccans and it can be frustrating, but that doesn't mean things such as working with the chakras and the elements are "fluffy"), and now it feels as if whole new vistas are opening up for me to explore. Wicca seems like a container that could potentially hold, without confining, all of the disparate parts of who I am and what I do. I am also very much enjoying swimming in a bigger pond than the one I've called home for a while now, meeting and interacting with people who are not necessarily all hard polytheists or godspouses or "god-bothered." Getting to know that there were people like me was a good thing. But getting stuck in someone else's paradigm or confined by someone else's definitions is decidedly not. I belong to a god of storms and wind, and the wind wears no chains. Besides Odin, the only person I am going to allow to define me is—you guessed it—me.

Rose-Hulman hardware technicians are vendor-certified to provide warranty repairs on the Institute-selected laptop computers while the student is actively enrolled at the school. This laptop includes a four-year warranty with accidental damage protection (ADP). ADP provides warranty coverage for damage caused to the laptop from spills or drops that are accidental. If, for some reason, a student's laptop is lost, stolen or damaged in a manner that is not covered by ADP, the student must file an insurance claim with the Client Computer Services Manager to be eligible for replacement or repair service.
Client Computer Services makes every effort to repair a student's laptop computer within a three-hour period. However, if a repair takes longer than three hours or there are extenuating circumstances requiring the student to need a laptop sooner, a similar laptop may be available for temporary loan to the student. Once the repairs are complete, the student will be notified to return the loaner laptop and pick up their laptop computer.
Rose-Hulman recommends that students perform regular data backups and periodic cleaning to protect both the laptop and their data. The Client Computer Services staff is available to assist students with questions regarding laptop service.
The Service Desk (ext. 8989 or 812-877-8989) is the primary point of contact for all interactions with computer, network, telecommunication and laptop-related questions, including laptop repair services.

The larger lake has depths of up to 15 feet and is fed by several cold water springs in the west end of the lake. As a safety precaution, no one is allowed in the lakes after dusk or before daylight. Skating during the winter season is permitted on the large or small lake but only after notification that the lakes are safe. The Office of Environmental Health and Safety will monitor the ice thickness on a daily basis during winter months (December - March); once the ice has reached an acceptable thickness, the campus community will be notified via e-mail that it is safe to participate in ice related winter activities. Tossing a person into the lake ("laking") against the person's will or mass lakings are not permitted. Absolutely no horseplay is permitted in or around the lake areas. Swimming is at your own risk. No lifeguards are on duty.
The transfer, use, or possession of explosives, fireworks, firearms, dangerous chemicals, or any lethal weapon on Institute property under any circumstances except as part of an Institute-authorized activity, instructional session, event or duty is prohibited. This includes specifically residence halls and Greek housing units.
The Institute is dedicated to providing a healthy, comfortable, and productive environment for students, faculty, and staff. The Institute also recognizes the health hazards associated with using smokeless and smoking tobacco products, and the adverse effects of exposure to secondhand smoke by nonsmokers. To provide a healthful campus environment, the Institute prohibits smoking in all common areas, and designated smoke-free buildings and vehicles. Smokers must stay 30 feet from the entrance of all campus buildings. The goal of the Institute is to move toward a smoke-free campus.

Our apartment is centrally located in a quiet residential area. Nearby you can find shopping streets, lined with supermarkets, fresh markets, banks, bakeries, restaurants and shops of all kinds as well as transportation with direct connection to the inner city of Vienna and Schönbrunn Palace.
All of Vienna's sights are within walking distance. The apartment is in one of the most exciting districts 'Mariahilf'. In only a few minutes walk you will come across the largest and longest shopping streets in the city, a real paradise for shopaholics. The city centre and natural and art history museums are practically at your doorstep, while the world famous 'Staatsoper' is only a few minutes away. Reaching the public transport network is simple and in no other district in the city are you better connected than in Mariahilf. There are a number of international restaurants (for example, the famous Vienna Naschmarkt). There is also an abundance of shops, galleries and parks only minutes away from the apartment. The Underground is only two minutes' walk from the front door. The apartment is excellent for guests that want to explore the city, whether they prefer the historic or modern side of the Danube metropolis.
From here you can also virtually reach all of the sights in the old town by foot. Both the Belvedere Palace and the Botanical Gardens are within walking distance from the "Ring Road". The apartment is right in the city centre, only minutes from the vibrant Stephansplatz, the Art- and Natural History Museums, the impressive Town Hall and the historic Hofburg. Due to the apartment's central location it won't be necessary to even use public transport once. The Vienna city centre used to be surrounded by a defensive city wall, which is now a street around the city 'Ringstraße.' You will find something interesting in every corner of the city. How about an original 'Sachertorte' in the Hotel Sacher or a nice cocktail above the roofs of Vienna in the trendy 'Skybar'? Enjoy the view of the Stephans Cathedral or a night out in the various clubs. You have the choice.

Reviews of this property
great, very flexible thanks, have felt very comfortable, like again, this time without any complications on our part, thank you for your understanding.
If they are happy to recommend.
super, sehr flexibel vielen Dank, haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt, gerne wieder, dieses Mal ohne Komplikationen unsererseits, vielen Dank für Ihr Verständnis.
Werden sie gerne weiterempfehlen.
The proximity to the train is great!
The apartment is simple, clean and spacious.
Coffee maker? :-) Well, if you want to call a ram as a coffee pot ... A simple real coffee would be great!
On the whole it has been a good experience at Lisa's apartment!
Die Nähe zur S-Bahn ist klasse!
Das Appartement ist einfach, sauber und geräumig.
Kaffeemaschine? :-) Na ja, wenn man eine Pressstempelkanne als Kaffeemaschine bezeichnen mag ... Eine einfache echte Kaffeemaschine wäre super!
Im Großen und Ganzen hat es uns in Lisas Wohnung gut gefallen!
Well located and close to S-bahn
Gut gelegen und nah an S-bahn
Very nice studio apartment, friendly welcome at the keys, ideal for our sightseeing. Small point of criticism was the somewhat noisy neighbor at that time and a new TV would not be bad ;)
Sehr nette Garconniere, freundlicher Empfang bei der Schlüsselübergabe, ideal für unsere Stadtbesichtigung. Kleiner Kritikpunkt war der etwas laute Nachbar zu dieser Zeit und ein neuer Fernseher wäre auch nicht schlecht ;)
Hi, So, the apartment of Lisa Absolut was sufficient for my needs. The downside was I had no Wi-Fi and a shower with no curtain and no fun if you can do it all dry afterwards. Bottom line, I would book again but with Lisa.
Hallo zusammen,
also, das Appartement von Lisa war aboslut ausreichend für meine Ansprüche.
Der Nachteil war, ich hatte kein WLAN und das Duschen ohne Duschvorhang macht auch keinen Spaß, wenn man danach alles trocken machen darf.
Unterm Strich würde ich aber wieder bei Lisa buchen.
Everything was to our satisfaction. We have felt ourselves very well, happy again.
Es war alles zu unserer Zufriedenheit. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, gerne wieder.
We booked the room for nights via Wimdu. The rooms were clean and spacious. The internet facility was awesome. Market and main central underground station is nearby the house.
nice apartment and functional bathroom area unfortunately a little cold for lack of heating (which are present in the room / kitchen). noisy neighbors. with 15 minutes by tram to reach the center, the bus stop is just a few steps from the house and the frequency with which the tram is arriving a few minutes. the owner is helpful and kind.
appartamento piacevole e funzionale; zona bagno purtroppo un pò fredda per mancanza di riscaldamenti (presenti invece nella camera/cucina).
vicini rumorosi.
con 15 minuti di tram si arriva al centro; la fermata è a pochissimi passi dalla casa e la frequenza con cui arrivano i tram è di pochi minuti.
la proprietaria è disponibile e gentile.
Hello, Our hostess made us feel very welcome. However, the lack of heating in the bathroom was painful. We have also failed to use the hob. Lacked a procedure. Cordially.
Notre hôtesse nous a très bien accueillis. Néanmoins, le manque de chauffage dans la salle de bain a été pénible. Nous n'avons également pas réussi à utiliser la plaque de cuisson. Il manquait un mode opératoire.
The apartment is very close to the tram line 44, with easy acess to the city. The decor is ok, it has been a good experience, the only mango, currently a construction site at the opposite house.
Das Appartment liegt sehr nahe an der Straßenbahnlinie 44, mit der man schnell in die Stadt kommt. Die Austattung ist o.K. Es hat uns gut gefallen, das einzige Mango, momentan eine Baustelle am gegenüberliegenden Haus.

Even after Sandy passed through. many beekeepers here are now patiently waiting for the logwood blossoms in January to February. I have decided to make a brave step and I am building enough boxes so i can expand to about 300 hives for next year. the big plan is to move from there then to 500. I am in the process of getting a small cell foundation mill and i will soon start building my own frames. I want to have control from production to final value added products.I am putting all my resources in these bees and wish me luck while I take this journey.

30 Days Of Beauty Blogger Tips & Tricks!
Get a little funky this summer with a mani that's totally 80s-inspired!
Step 1: Paint two coats of white polish over a freshly manicured nail.
Step 2: Allow polish to completely dry, then use two pieces of tape to create a "V" shape on the nail.
Step 3: Paint thin stripes of three neon polishes (Colors used here: China Glaze "Highlight of My Summer," "Sun of a Peach," and "Bottoms Up") on the corner of a make up sponge
Step 4: Dab sponge with lacquer onto the untaped section of the nail multiple times.
Step 5: To make the colors really pop, look allow the polish to dry and repeat.
Step 6: Before the design dries, gently remove the tape. Seal with your favorite topcoat.
Illamasqua US Nail Ambassador Fleury Rose created this bold, graphic nail art that's perfect for rocking to parties all summer!
Step 1: Shape and buff nail, and wipe with acetone to remove oils. Apply a base coat.
Step 2: Apply two coats of a bright green polish (like Illamasqua "Omen") to all ten nails, and allow to dry for about about 5-10 minutes.
Step 3: Using a small brush, create a jagged line with bright pink polish (like Illamasqua "Ouija") to divide the nails in half.
Step 4: Fill in one half of the nail with the pink polish so it fully covers the green on one side. Repeat on all nails.
Step 5: With a small brush, paint a thin black line dividing the two polish colors on each nail. Allow to dry for 5-10 minutes.
Step 6: Apply a top coat to one nail, and use tweezers to stick holographic silver glitter or nail decals along the black line. Repeat on each nail and finish with a final layer of top coat!

everything was perfect.
I had a wonderful stay this summer (2014). The location was perfect! It was close to the beaches a supermarket and even the city center and clubs arent that far! Its a quite nice neighbourhoud with lots of bakeries in the area with delicious sweets, It is also close to the tram and metro lines are easily accesible which makes travelling easy. The house itself was very clean and cozy everything you need it is included! George is a very helpfull and nice caretaker! Whatever question or problem you have you can contact him and he we be assisting you at his best immediatly! I am recommending this amazing beachflat to everyone who wants to have a relaxing good time and close to the good places in Athens! You will feel right at home !
We were very satisfied with the apartment. The apartment was clean and the service was very good and nice. I can only recommend the apartment ....
Wir waren super zufrieden mit der Wohnung. Die Wohnung war sauber und der Service war sehr gut und nett. Ich kann die Wohnung nur weiterempfehlen ....
Hello, I had 4 wonderful days in Athens, we were 4 people and the apartment which is also very good and clean. In particular, the proximity to the center, the Acropolis and Plaka has surprised us, on foot it is 10-15min, by taxi it does not cost more than 5 euros. George was a good host. Greeting
Hallo, ich hatte 4 Wunderschöne Tage in Athen, wir waren 4 Personen und die Wohnung was auch sehr gut und sauber. Vor allem die Nähe zum Zentrum, Akropolis und Plaka hat uns überrascht, zu Fuss sind es 10-15min, mit dem Taxi kostet es nicht auch mehr als 5 Euro. George war auch ein guter Gastgeber. Gruss
Very nice appartment. Well situated. great view. Everything was also very well organised. Great trip we had.
The apartment looks exactly like the photos show. In general it was very tidy, clean and modernly refurbished, although some devices were out of order (oven, half cooker...). We also missed a microwave.
The blinds kept the apartment completely dark at night and only a small and discontinuous sound from the fridge could annoy people with sleep problems. But it was not a problem at all for my fiancée and me.
The only inconvenience we found was the location. The apartment is a bit far from the city centre (45 minutes by walking) and the closest metro station is 10 minutes by walking.
All in all, I would recommend this apartment. However, if I would gone back to Athens I'd try to stay in an apartment better located.
The apartment is in a convenient central location and George was helpful in arranging transfers which was much appreciated. First impressions wasn't so good though, apartment is not much bigger than a hotel room and not as "High-End" as I imagined, bed hadn't been made (we had to make it), linen for bed wrong size with pillow sheets missing, cleaning clothes left on floor, some power points weren't working or absent where expected (e.g. kitchen) and the inside door handle would come off in your hand if not careful. However, Athens hotels are expensive so the apartment represented reasonable value, and we may have been the exception re our issues.
The apartment was very comfortable. It was very accessible and in a great location. I would stay here again with ought a doubt. The only negative comment I could make on the apartment is that the hot water tank was not sufficient for one to wash before running out of hot water. All went well until the morning we had to leave. We were not told that the front building door is bolted at night and therefore when we left to get our taxi at 7am we were locked in. Thankfully the taxi driver helped us by ringing everyones door bell until someone came to help. Otherwise we would have lost our plane. The emergency door leading to the basement was also bolted. Shudder to think what would happen if there was an emergency evacuation scenario.So before vacating the apartment for good please remember to check that the front building door is not bolted shut.
The hotel was great! The area is a bit noisy, but you get used to it, the crowd that had begun at dawn. The beach was close but it was pretty crowded and messy so I had to go out every day can get away from beaches to search. The city, the bazaar is 10 minutes away by car. It was nice but a shame that such garbage, this was a bit dirty there would be observed.
The accommodation, receiving the keys was discussed according to each, it was absolutely fine !!!
The apartment is very good, near the metro that takes you to the center of Athens ... There is a bakery, pharmacy, cafes and a supermarket well next, George proved to be a good person and the next door neighbor has treated us very well and willing any kind of help.

Spons`d Tingles: March Savoury Moment by Dr Oetker
It's that time – the Savoury Moment in Gossip for March. Last month it was Mimi's encounter with Sasha Fierce at a pre-Oscar party…
This month, could it be anything but Jesus Luz's "mother"?
You know you loved it.
And at the time, what I wrote was that I knew that you knew what I was thinking. Because we were all thinking the same thing. Because how could anyone think anything different…and don't even bother fronting like it's an unkind to point out that Jesus was birthed by what looks to be a former man because Jesus, in agreeing to be dragged around the world by Madonna, not his mother, has opened himself up to the scrutiny that surrounds anyone who volunteers to be Madonna's Jesus, especially since he's the Jesus that came from a dude.
Blow this up and you can actually see whiskers. And those hands…
Those hands built Noah's Ark.
This is what tingled me in the most savoury way this month.
Oh and by the way, the mainstream media continues to insist on perpetuating this farce of a relationship. Like gaydar is a dying art.
PS…remember to enter Dr. Oetker's Savoury Moments VIP Experience contest if you haven't already done so.

My stay at the little house could not have been any better. Location,size, piano (being a musician) kindness and warmth my host & hostess extended to me I will remember forever. This is my first experience with Wimdu and it has been a wonderful experience. All of my 9 week trip in France was booked thru Air B&B because I was unaware of what a great service Wimdu provides. I saved the best for last. Thank you Anne, Jean-Charles and Wimdu.
What a pleasure to stay in such a beautiful house in the middle of Belleville. We were greeted by the owners son who speaks English very well and was extremely accommodating. The house is small but charming. This is going to be our steady address in Paris!
thank you ct really super quiet well located quickly nathalie anne
merci c t vraiment super calme bien situé à très vite nathalie anne
This was the perfect place to stay for our short break to Paris! The house was as cute as it can possibly get, conveniently located just a 2-3min walk from the metro station providing fast transfer to the city centre or Gare du Nord. The owners were charming, quick in communication, friendly and helpful as well.
I'm so glad we chose this accommodation. Much better than any hotel could offer at a comparable price. If you're hesitating to book this cute house, don't! It's well worth it.
Merci beaucoup, Anne et Jean-Charles! Overall, a grand experience!
We enjoyed it a lot. It was fantastic. The weather was perfect and Belleville took us by surprice. And we enjoyed staying in the little house. And yes it was allso good to se my friend in Paris.
Yes I hope we'll come back. And sure, I can recomend your place...
Best Regards from Dea and René
Best Regards from Dea and René
Such a lovely place to stay! Anne's husband waited up for us to arrive at 11:30pm! And he was still friendly and hospitable as ever. He explained the workings around the house including the cool remote controlled window blinds! Apart from that, we were allowed our privacy for the rest of our stay and leaving the keys behind was a stress-free process. It is easy to get to the house from Gare de l'Est as the station is only 4 stops away using the Metro. Good connections all around the city. I would definitely stay here again!
A perfect stop in Paris. We were in and out very quickly, but absolutely loved the cute little house. We would stay again for sure! Traveling with a two year old was easily accommodated. Highly recommended.
very, very nice hosts, quiet location, gladly again! :)
sehr, sehr nette Gastgeber, ruhige Lage, gerne wieder! : )

I took these pics for a story one of the Babble bloggers is doing about no make-up vs. make up. I don't know when the post is going up, but I thought I'd show you my pics because starting tomorrow, I'll be wearing make-up again. For the past couple of months, when I'm picking the kids up from school and working from home,
I'm heading back to the office at New York Family to start my internship in the editorial side of the magazine. I'll be back to reading books on the subway as I commute. Skipping lunch (it's good for me--I've been finishing off way too many tubs of Pillsbury frosting lately). Walking a few miles in heals. Most of all writing!
I hope I'm nice to my kids in the morning. Especially when we are running late and Oscar's shoe goes missing. Every time. Or later when Owen refuses to wear his hat and starts dragging it on the sidewalk. And then dangles it over a city trash can and waits for me to react. Not that that has ever happened.
Tomorrow morning, I want my kids to see that I'm working on my dream. I want the message to be really clear: That I'm happy and grateful and excited about this opportunity. I want them to see that this is going to do great things for me and the family. Otherwise, if I'm all grumpy and frustrated as I help them find their shoes, they might not know. And that could be really confusing to them. I'll see how I do. Who knows what the morning will bring?

Gifts For Your Sporty Friend!
"This year, I'm determined to learn how to play the guitar. Rather than just listen to my favorite songs, I want to play them!"
Stick to It Tip: Learning to play a new instrument is a big-time commitment, but it's such a fun and satisfying resolution! If you can't take formal lessons, YouTube has thousands of tutorials that can teach you how to play your favorite tunes. To keep yourself motivated, check out these videos of some talented musicians who have stopped by the Seventeen office:
"My resolution: Brush up on my Spanish! I am getting Rosetta Stone Spanish for the holidays, and I want to use my new language skills when I (hopefully!) travel to South America next year."
Stick to It Tip: You don't have to have a big trip planned—knowing a second (or third or fourth!) language can be incredibly important when it comes to scoring a job or internship. Take advantage of any language classes your school offers, as well as join clubs that give you the opportunity to talk with native speakers. ¡Buena suerte!

didnt see this anywhere
The invitation to a college all-star game, alongside well-known
Division 1 NFL Draft prospects, came as a happy surprise to Chad
It also came late, meaning the All-America safety from Montclair
State University had only about 48 hours to collect his equipment and
ship it to Little Rock, Ark. But Faulcon soon learned that the school
had already sent out his pads and helmet to be refurbished with the rest
of the teams, so his only choice was to use a leftover set that
swallowed up his track-athlete frame.
Maybe that wasnt a bad thing. A few weeks later, Faulcons agent ran
into a Jaguars scout at the NFL Combine and asked him about his player.
He said, Is that the kid from Montclair State? The one with big shoulder
pads? recalled Bobby Brown, Faulcons agent. That sort of sums up his journey.
Faulcon is one of hundreds of college football players hoping to make
the jump to the NFL this week but his jump is even more daunting
because hes coming from a Division 3 school.
The Cranford native doesnt mind if scouts know him as the guy with
the big shoulder pads, just as long as they know who he is. He
blossomed in his senior year at Montclair State, a hard-hitting and
speedy safety who was known as the sniper for making plays on every
part of the field.
At the Players All-Star Classic in February, Faulcon was finally on
the same playing field with Division 1 prospects, and he and his big
pads turned heads with seven tackles, an interception, two pass breakups
and a forced fumble. He was invited to the local pre-draft workouts
with both the Giants and the Jets earlier this month, and his agent said
the Jaguars, Browns, Dolphins and Packers have also been in touch about
Rick Giancola, the long-time Montclair State coach, keeps in mind a
rule of thumb an NFL scout gave him years ago: For a small-school player
to have a chance at the NFL, he must jump off the screen as soon as the
game film is turned on. Faulcon did, so Giancola contacted one of his
former players, Frederick DeFinis, who works for Browns management
Theres a point in time where all seniors, they all want to be NFL
players, so they ask, Coach, what do you think? Giancola said. Its
heartbreaking to say no. But not for Chad. For Chad, I thought so.
The odds are against small-school players, of course. Just one of the
254 players drafted last year was from a Division 3 school: Mount
Unions Cecil Shorts, a fourth-round pick by Jacksonville. The last two
before Shorts were Mount Unions Pierre Garçon and Wheatons Andy
Studebaker in 2008.
Montclair States only draft pick is Mark Casale, a late-round
selection by the Bears in 1984. Giancola said about 20 of his players
have been to an NFL camp in his 29-year tenure, with only a handful
sticking. The most encouraging example, of course, is the late Sam
Mills, an undrafted success story who made five Pro Bowls and played 12
years in the NFL.
Faulcon was a late bloomer whose grades early in high school ruled
out his top college choices, Monmouth and Stonybrook. He is both
realistic and optimistic about his NFL chances, hoping simply to get
invited to a camp and then show what he can do.
If you would have asked me this time last year where I would be, I
would have told you, Getting ready to be a phys ed teacher, Faulcon
said. We know its going to be an uphill battle for a D3 guy to make it
to the NFL. But everyone is confident I can do it, and that helps a
Faulcon has spent the past four months morphing into the most
NFL-ready version of himself. He trained up to six days a week at Joe
DeFrancos Gym in Wyckoff, boosting his 6-foot-1 frame to above 200
pounds and adding 12 reps to the well-known draft measurable 225-pound
bench press. He traced through hundreds of defensive back drills at top
speed with former NFL cornerback Aaron Beasley. http://www.nj.com/sports/nfldraft/in...tm_term=%23nyg

The opulence and grandeur of the late 19th century will be featured in the new Keller Gallery exhibition The Victorian Age, on view at the
McKinley Presidential Library & Museum from June 18 through November 21, 2010.
The exhibit focuses on the lifestyle of the growing middle class, who were emulating the upper crust of society, between 1870 and 1900. Guests will view lavish formal gowns, intricate mantel clocks and elaborate furniture, as well as a bathing suit, china, glass, children's clothing, hats, folding fans and toys of the era. The Victorian Age will also feature rarely exhibited gowns that belonged to First Lady Ida McKinley.
"This era was named for Queen Victoria," said Curator Kim Kenney, "who ruled England from 1837 until her death in 1901. William McKinley was the last US president in the Victorian age. This new exhibit highlights our vast collection of late 19th century artifacts, including a calling card case, spoon collection and parasol accessory set that belonged to First Lady Ida McKinley."
Exhibit panels will explore flower symbolism, fan language, architecture, fashion, mourning customs, childhood, calling card and dining etiquette, and innovations of the era.
When you stay overnight at Whispering Pines Bed and Breakfast, we will include the cost of the exhibit. We have visited the First Ladies Museum a couple of times and really enjoyed it, so we are looking forward to seeing this new exhibit ourselves.
I'll look forward to seeing you soon,
Whispering Pines Bed and Breakfast ——————————-

Economist: Jobs on the rebound in C.Oregon
Construction job numbers on the rise
BEND, Ore. - Central Oregon's economy is on the rebound after being hit hard by the 2008 housing bubble burst, which spawned economic hardship for people all across the region.
Local economists say the High Desert is making a comeback with new jobs, and new businesses moving into the area.
"When you look over the year from December 2012 back to 2011, we saw a good increase in jobs," state Regional Economist Damon Runberg said recently.
Last year, Central Oregon added about 660 jobs, half of which were in the private sector.
"Construction was one of those areas where we saw some of the stronger growth, which is great for Central Oregon," Runberg said. "That's one of the industries hit the worst by the recession."
According to Runberg, manufacturing has also seen growth, but the one surprising area that saw jobs added: accommodations and food services.
"What was great to see was one of those industries that we've actually exceeded our pre-recession levels of employment," said Runberg. "It's totally been recovered from the recession, and that's a lot of the jobs we see for tourism."
Adding to the future stability of the region: OSU-Cascades' expansion to a four year university. President Ed Ray said in late January the campus has raised $3.3 million of a $4 million private fundraising goal.
"By providing more skilled workers and higher educated workers, then we could definitely attract more higher-paying jobs to the region," Runberg said.
With companies like Facebook, Apple and more recently Erickson Aero Tanker bringing more jobs to Central Oregon, economists say the region's long-suffering economy is headed in the right direction.

Hey folks,
A few days ago I posted about this issue that I'm having with one of my hives. I requeened it, but did not check well enough for queen cells and they replaced my new queen. I requeened because they had a bad disposition. I discovered that they had replaced her on Saturday...and I saw a virgin queen running around in there. There were more queen cells, but I did not remove them.
At the same time, I noticed their stores were getting way low, so I did some feeding. One quart on top of the hive and a gallon communal feeder in the beeyard for two hives to work on. This was a mistake because they have filled the brood nest up with it nicely...I've removed all feed now.
Today I opened this hive to remove the other queen cells. I was afraid they would swarm, and they still might, I don't know. My first idea was to leave them alone and let them do what they want to do, but I couldn't help myself. I wanted to see if they had emptied those other queen cells, but they hadn't. There were about 5 of them intact. I removed them.
Anyway, they were so aggressive I couldn't even believe it. When I removed a frame, they came off meaning business. They were bouncing against my suit and extremely loud. I did not use smoke. Was the worst they had ever been. I know that a queenless hive can be angry, but as of Saturday they had a queen (albeit a virgin). I'll do another inspection in a few days. If they are indeed still queenless, I'll probably move a frame of eggs from a calmer hive and let them make their own queen. Any other ideas?

The vineyards grow within more than fourteen unique terroirs at three elevations — 400, 1200, and 1400 feet above sea level and are nurtured under the respectful tenets of sustainable agriculture. They thrive on the slopes of Mount George at the southern end of the Vaca Range. The foundation for it all is base rock laid down during the Pliocene volcanic age. Vineyard geography ranges from steep slopes with shallow nutrient-poor soils, which produce concentrated grapes, to stony colluvial deposits made up of cobbles, gravel, and sandy loam. Variations of soil type, sun exposure, and elevation produce a robust range of flavors and concentration to create a wine with balance and complexity.
The winery's 24 fermentation tanks accommodate the yields of individual blocks within the estate, vinifying each parcel's grapes separately to preserve the unique characteristics intrinsic to the parcels. This provides a complete and pure palette for the winemaker's art — tasting, appreciating, and blending individual lots to bring balance to the wine. View all Palmaz Wines
About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

YAKETY-YAK ... Palo Alto City Council Chambers were deserted Tuesday night by the time the council got to its last agenda item � long-winded members. The nine readily agreed to spend "about an hour" at their upcoming Feb. 2 retreat discussing voluntary � or perhaps mandatory � provisions to limit council members' questions and comments during meetings. Worried that lengthy meetings are "undermining public confidence" in the political process, Mayor Greg Scharff and council members Larry Klein and Gail Price have suggested that mandatory time limits be considered if council members cannot voluntarily refrain from making voluminous comments. The average length of council meetings � held almost weekly � crept up from about four-and-a-half hours in 2008 through 2011 to five hours in 2012. "We risk undermining public confidence in our processes if we can't this problem under control," Scharff, Klein and Price said in a memo to colleagues.

The A350 XWB is designed to provide highly efficient and eco-friendly service for its airline customers, and the new Airbus final assembly line that builds these aircraft has been developed with the same philosophy.
Located near its Toulouse, France headquarters, Airbus introduced many environmental advances at this site, making it the "greenest" such facility ever built by the company.
Far in advance of the A350 XWB assembly building taking shape, Airbus was applying environmentally-friendly construction techniques – including recycling certain materials already present at the site, while crushing and re-using matter from a pre-existing taxiway.
Natural lighting is employed extensively in the building's assembly halls to improve working comfort, while keeping the use of artificial lighting to a minimum and reducing the consumption of electricity.
The facility produces more than 50 per cent of its own energy, with a portion of the electrical power generated by 22,000 square metres of photovoltaic panels located on the roof. An energy management system also has been incorporated to optimise the use of power and liquids according to the working hours – ranging from peak daytime activity to nightshifts and weekend off-times.
The A350 XWB's main sections arrive at the final assembly line already fitted out and tested from the various Airbus industrial sites in Europe. This makes it possible to reduce the amount of work required on the final assembly line.
Even before the jetliner's three main fuselage sections are put together in the assembly hall, the A350 XWB's "kitchen" areas – called galleys in the language of aviation – are installed, along with compartments where pilots and cabin crewmembers will be able to rest during long-range flights. This workflow allows such large cabin interior components to be easily manoeuvred into the fuselage and mounted.
Contributing to the built-up process' overall efficiency is Airbus' use of the A350 XWB Digital Mock-Up, which is a very realistic computerised version of the aircraft that gives a highly accurate visualisation of how components come together during the assembly – down to the smallest detail.
From start to completion, the A350 XWB's final assembly process is conceived for a shorter built-up time and more efficient testing.
Like a well-planned, high-technology puzzle, the integration of landing gear and aircraft systems are handled in parallel with assembly of the fuselage, wings and tail plane – along with the installation of certain passenger cabin furnishings. During this process, the aircraft "comes alive" for the first time when it is electrically powered up, enabling functional testing to start even before the completion of wing/fuselage mating.
Once initial assembly is finalised in the facility, the aircraft is then moved to Airbus' existing A330 final assembly zone at Toulouse, taking advantage of this already-available industrial infrastructure for A350 XWB pressurisation tests, painting, engine installation, final cabin outfitting and ground tests – setting the stage for flight evaluations and customer delivery.

Developer: Genius Sonority
Ship date: 10/3/05
ESRB: E for Everyone
Players: 1, 2 or 4
Game Storyline: A familiar legendary Pokémon named Lugia has been turned into a new type of Shadow Pokémon, one that supposedly can't be purified. Using Shadow Lugia, the evil organization Cipher has stolen the Pokémon-carrying cargo ship, the S.S. Libra, to help fulfill its grandiose plan of world domination. Players must save the Shadow Pokémon from a life of evil deeds and thwart Cipher's plans before it's too late. As Michael, a young trainer, players must seek to unravel the mystery behind Shadow Lugia. During the journey they will be helped by numerous friends and fight against even more foes as they race against time to snag and purify the Shadow Pokémon and save the world.
Characters: The hero, Michael, is a young trainer tasked with the monumental undertaking of saving all of the Shadow Pokémon. The majestic Pokémon, Lugia, plays a major role as "Shadow Lugia," the ultimate Shadow Pokémon that supposedly can't be purified. Shadow Lugia also has an exclusive move called "Shadow Blast" that shoots a blade of air. More than 80 Shadow Pokémon are available for players to snag (twice the number in Pokémon Colosseum™ ). A full cast of unique and creative characters guide players on their journeys and try to stop them from saving the world. All 386 Pokémon can be loaded into the game and battled in full 3-D.
How to progress through the game: The player starts off as a young but promising trainer. Things quickly escalate as a cargo ship holding many Pokémon is stolen and rumors surface that a giant Shadow Pokémon is behind the theft. The player is asked to embark on a perilous journey to try and save the Shadow Pokémon using a device called the "Snag Machine." The player uses the Snag Machine to "snag" Shadow Pokémon from the bad trainers and then works to purify them back to their normal state. Once they are purified, they can be leveled-up like normal. The player then uses the newfound Pokémon to battle against various trainers on a quest to stop Cipher from turning all Pokémon into Shadow Pokémon and taking over the world.
