Whenever there is a disaster, there are people more than willing to take advantage of the situation to make a few fast bucks.
And the mortgage meltdown is no exception.
"Homeowners are desperate. They need a modification but can't figure out the (refinancing) puzzle, which creates an opportunity for scam artists," Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard said during a forum for faith-based leaders on how to educate their flocks about loan modification scams.
Where to go for
foreclosure help
Foreclosure hotline sponsored by the Arizona Department of Housing:www.azforeclosureprevention.org, or (877) 448-1211 For free guidance by HUD-approved counseling agencies:www.hopenow.com, or (888) 995-HOPE Scam artists who advertise how they can guarantee to save a home, but charge up-front fees, and generally have little, if any success, are an ongoing problem.
"Despite working on this for three years, it's a problem," Stacy Proctor, an attorney for the Federal Trade Commission in Los Angeles, told the nearly 100 people at Mountain View Lutheran Church, which hosted the forum Wednesday.
And it doesn't just happen to "them." It also can happen to Ahwatukee Foothills residents.
Charles Rust lost his Ahwatukee Foothills home after spending thousands for mortgage refinancing help from companies that took his money but did nothing.
"We ended up losing our house in October. We had lived in that house for 15 years," Rust said.
Michael Sheldon, who teaches personal finance classes at Mountain View, said Ahwatukee Foothills homeowners can be hit worse than homeowners in poorer areas.
"They took home equity loans out and used the money to buy stuff," said Sheldon, who lives in Lakewood. Then, when home values dropped, and income for many Ahwatukee Foothills residents dried up, they found themselves upside down and carrying more debt then they could afford.
In one class of 15 families with whom he worked with on personal finances, the debt load was $750,000, and that didn't include mortgages.
But there is free, real help, available for people who are facing a mortgage crisis.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has certified housing counseling agencies to help work with lenders and homeowners.
"Not everyone will have a positive outcome," warned Patricia Garcia Duarte, the president of Neighborhood Housing Services of Phoenix, a certified counseling service that helps homeowners prevent foreclosure.
But with a HUD-certified counseling agency, if there is a possibility to modify a loan and save a home, they will work to find it. And since they are free, the homeowner doesn't sink further into debt as happens with many of the scam artists that have set up shop in Arizona, Duarte said.

Red flags of mortgage scams
If you're looking for foreclosure prevention help, avoid any business that:
• Guarantees to stop the foreclosure process – no matter what your circumstances.
• Instructs you not to contact your lender, lawyer, or credit or housing counselor.
• Collects a fee before providing you with any services.
• Accepts payment only by cashier's check or wire transfer.
• Encourages you to lease your home so you can buy it back over time.
• Tells you to make your mortgage payments directly to it, rather than your lender.
• Tells you to transfer your property deed or title to it.
• Offers to buy your house for cash at a fixed price that is not set by the housing market at the time of sale.
• Offers to fill out paperwork for you.
• Pressures you to sign paperwork you haven't had a chance to read thoroughly or that you don't understand.
If you're having trouble paying your mortgage or you have received a foreclosure notice, contact your lender immediately.

5 tips for avoiding foreclosure scams
Work only with a nonprofit, HUD-approved counselor.
If you are looking for help to prevent foreclosure, be sure the counseling agency is on the Department of Housing and Urban Development's list of approved agencies. Visit HUD's Web site (www.hud.gov) for an easily searchable list of HUD-approved housing counseling agencies, or call 877-HUD-1515 (877-483-1515) for more information. If you are approached by foreclosure counselors — by mail, phone, or in person — make sure the counseling agency is HUD-approved before you do business with them.
Don't pay an arm and a leg.
You should not have to pay hundreds — or thousands — of dollars. Most HUD-approved housing counselors provide no-cost counseling services and many more provide low-cost counseling. Do not agree to work with a counselor who collects a fee before providing you with any services or who accepts payment only by cashier's check or wire transfer. In general, do not pay money to anyone unless you know exactly what services you will receive.
Be wary of "guarantees."
A reputable counselor will not guarantee to stop the foreclosure process, no matter what your circumstances. Working with a legitimate counselor can certainly increase your chances of keeping your home — but be wary of people who promise a sure thing. Again, get the details of your transaction, along with any promises, in writing first.
Know what you are signing — and be sure you sign it.
Don't let a counselor pressure you to sign paperwork you haven't had a chance to read through carefully or that you don't understand. Don't sign any blank forms or let "the counselor" fill out forms for you. Be sure to talk with an attorney before signing anything that transfers the title of your home to another party.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
If you feel you may be the target or victim of foreclosure fraud, trust your instincts and seek help. For tips on spotting scam artists, visit the Federal Trade Commission's Web page (www.ftc.gov) on foreclosure rescue scams. Report suspicious schemes to your state and local consumer protection agencies, which you can find on the Federal Citizen Information Center's Consumer Action Web site (www.consumeraction.gov).

Mines of Ithoa: Chapter 8
Words: 20393
Jothal sat in the filth of the metal cage amongst the miners. Thoughts plagued her mind with What Ifs and Should Haves. The darkness of the metal box consumed her and left her no distractions to clear her mind. Only the whimpering of the disfigured men around her and the occasional far away creak filled her ears. She felt someone approaching her.
"Don't be discouraged. You will be free." She heard a soft voice whisper. It was so light that she almost mistook it for her troubled mind making words from the wind, but the air here was stagnant and the syllables were undeniable. Jothal turned to see the voice, but saw only black and two faintly white orbs. "We will all be free. Soon." The voice added.
"What do you mean? How can you know?" Jothal whispered back. She was never one for unrealistic hopes. They could only disappoint.
"I have seen it." The voice replied. "A shadow shall bring us light." She heard a soft laugh, like tiny bells. "Soon… soon…"
"Sorry, friend. I can't afford your vague riddles right now. I have to find some way out." Jothal muttered, although she knew that there was no way out. Not one that she could use from the inside. The voice only laughed in reply.
"Soon… soon…" the voice repeated as it faded away, the light laughter punctuated his words. Jothal sighed.
"I'm trapped and everyone around me has gone mad." She murmured. It was terribly lonesome. Even though she knew that she was surrounded by many others, she still felt so solitary. She remembered Stone. Maybe if he remembered who he was, he could remember how he got here and if there is a way out. "Stone?" She called, and then heard a shuffling.
"Yes?" A voice replied. "Is that you Jothal? Have you escaped? Have you returned to free us?" The man entered into the single beam of light coming from the door's window. She could see that it was indeed Stone. He was peering through the bars, eagerly searching for any sign of her.
"No… I'm stuck here with you now, but I know why you're here." She began. "You all are the miners that had disappeared. These are the iron mines of Mainstay, where we all live. You are an Ithoan." The man stood in the beam, the torchlight illuminating the fleshy side of his face. A look of realization began to creep onto his face.
"Mainstay…?" Stone pondered aloud. "That sounds so familiar… and yet…" He trailed off.
"The point is," Jothal interrupted. "We need to get you back home. Unfortunately, I'm a little incapacitated and clueless at the moment. You wouldn't remember any way out of this thing?" The man again looked ponderous.
"The last thing I remember before this metal box was an office… then, fire? After that, there was a tunnel and…" Stone frowned. "I'm sorry, miss. It's just all so hazy. It feels like we've been down here since the third age." He rubbed his one clear temple slowly, closing his eyes tightly. Jothal decided that he would not be of much help at this point.
"It's alright…. I'll have a look around." She sat up and walked over to the door, now standing besides Stone. From between the bars, Jothal could see that the key had been taken. However, there was a small lantern and a lighter on a nearby shelf, tantalizingly close. That would at least help her see in this wretched cage. She tried to size up the width of the bars from each other. She might be able to reach it with her right arm… Jothal flattened her hand as much as she could and moved it towards the window, however, as soon as her fingertips reached the window's gaps, a strange glow appeared, the same glow that seemed to engulf the box when Jothal was thrown in. It was as hard as the metal box and prevented Jothal from going any further.
"Damn." Jothal huffed, holding her stubbed fingertips. What else was there to try? Perhaps the next time that the robed man came back, she could organize some sort of revolt amongst the miners, but, hearing all of the soft moans around her, she decided that it probably was not a good idea. Jothal slumped to the floor, her mouth and upper torso illuminated in the beam of light.
"Great Creator…" She spoke softly, her head drooped and her eyes fixed on her lap. "I've done what I could for Mainstay and its people. Please, let me escape with these men and seek justice for this cultist's acts against you." She finished her prayer but kept her head low.
Suddenly, Jothal heard the clattering of metal and a soft thud. The robed man must be back. However, Jothal did not give the sound another thought. If he was to come back and take her other arm, so be it. She welcomed the darkness of the metal room, but even this was taken away from her as the door creaked open, painting a stripe of light on the room.
"Hey, miss. Get up!" She heard a whisper. She cared not from whom it came. "I said get up!" The whisper returned, bringing a hard jolt upwards to Jothal as she felt her body being raised. Her feet felt no need to cooperate. "Why must you always be so difficult?" Jothal finally pried open her tired eyes and focused them on the intruder.
"Vos?!" She exclaimed, her limbs regaining their strength and her eyes shooting wide open. She felt his hand cover her mouth.
"Shh!" He hushed Jothal, an angry look on his face. "Do you want to ruin everything?" He helped her stand to her feet on her own. Vos was dressed in dark shades of black and brown. He had a dark mask in his hand that he was using to quiet Jothal down. He had his set of lock picks on a belt around his waist. She stepped towards the door hesitantly, the light now fully illuminating her. "What happened to you?" Vos asked, noticing her lack of arm.
"The cultists… they…" she stammered. She still couldn't come to terms with this new body modification. Vos nodded.
"I suppose now isn't the right time for explanations of that sort… What I need to know right now is what's going on."
"There's this group of cultists… They wear these red cloaks… I'm sure you've seen some of their work back through the tunnels. Anyway, they're the ones behind the disappearances. These men," Jothal motioned with her good arm towards the dark room. "They're the miners that have gone missing. Well, maybe not anymore…" From the doorway, Vos could see Stone and the white-eyed man. He frowned. "They're very dangerous and capable of some kind of dark magic. They talked about raising an army for this demon… Azzasmar I think, and they took my warhammer axe, and my bag, and, well, everything."
"We'll try to get them back, but right now we need you and those miners to be free. No one should have to live like this."
"Hey Vos… How did you find me?"
"Well, you were gone for so long that I began to get worried that you had been killed. I would never forgive myself if that happened. If I hadn't been so proud…"
"Listen, I understand. You can always tell me if you've gotten hurt. I won't think any less of you."
"Hurt?" Vos laughed. "Please, that little singe? No… to be honest, the last time we were here, I spotted that Matok wall, and I knew that there would be things that I didn't want to deal with. The last time I was around the stuff, I nearly died."
"Matok? Do you mean that dark stone that you use the white powder to get through?"
"That's the one. I've run into folks that use this stuff before. You can always be sure to find something really special or something really dangerous around it. I've started to get really jumpy around the stuff. I didn't think you'd be able to get past it. Regardless, I always keep a small sample of the powder on me." Vos patted a pocket on his belt. "Anyway, you've discovered all this a while ago."
"It hasn't been that long." She teased. "Only a few days." They heard the pattering of footsteps coming from the hallway that Vos had entered through, and the two snapped out of their conversation.
"We've got to go!" Vos whispered hastily, taking Jothal by her arm.
"But what about these men?" Jothal retorted, pulling her arm free. "We can't just leave them here."
"We'll be back for them." Vos replied. "They would catch us if we all moved together right now. We've got to get you armed…" Jothal glared at him, and Vos smiled sheepishly. They fled down the unexplored hallway, closing the metal box's door as they left. The tunnel was rather short, as tunnels go, but had many branches that led who knows where. It ended in a bronze door. Vos flung this door open and the two stepped into the operating room. Jothal's memory flashed back to the day she lost her arm. She felt sick.
At the far end of this room was a gold colored door. Vos led Jothal over pools of blood and discarded, crude surgical instruments and pushed them past rolling tables until they burst through the gold door into a small closet.
"This works." Vos whispered once they were safely inside. The footsteps continued in their direction. Jothal held her breath and waited as the footsteps grew ever closer. Vos had moved to the back of the closet and had begun rifling around for any useful items. He was surprisingly quiet as he searched. Vos donned a headlamp that cast a dull orange beam. "I think you're in luck!" Vos whispered to Jothal. She looked back at him. He was holding in his hand her backpack!
"Not that I can use it right now…" She muttered back. The footsteps had begun to grow quieter. Jothal figured that she could lower her guard now. She carefully opened the gold door, letting the torchlight from the surgical room flood the closet. Vos donned Jothal's backpack himself. Jothal looked inside the closet. It appeared that every personal item from Jothal and the miners was here. She rifled through a pile of pickaxes and broken headlamps as best she could. Finally, she found Rankein. He was dirty, but he was okay. Jothal checked the axe's blade and found that it was still just as sharp as when Master Hebak had forged him. Jothal placed her weapon momentarily to the side and looked for her shield. However, after a few minutes of rummaging, Jothal concluded that her shield was missing or stolen.
"It's okay." She said, looking at a concerned Vos. "It's not like I would have been able to use it anyway." Clutching Rankein in her hand, Jothal and Vos headed back to fetch the miners. They unlocked the door and released the men.
"Everyone who is able, listen up! Through the bronze and gold doors is a supply of your old mining equipment. If you aren't carrying someone, take a pickaxe as protection! We're going home!" Jothal briefed the group of men who emerged from he metal box, blinking in the light and itching for vengeance. Jothal and Vos waited for the miners to return with whatever weapons they could find, and then led the group away from the metal box. Jothal carefully opened the door to the alter room.
"Run!" she yelled. "Fight if you are able!" They had entered a not so empty alter room to find three robed men huddled over an old text. Luckily, it looked as if the men had just entered, because the red outlines of a door still remained on the Matok wall. "Through that door! Hurry!" she commanded. The cultists jumped to attention as they saw the group. While many of the less capable miners flew past the cultists, the promise of freedom letting them forget their pain, Jothal, Vos, Stone, the white eyed man, and the man with patches of fur stayed to fight. The miners worked on one particularly burly cultists who appeared to be rather fond of fire while Jothal and Vos took on a robed man each.
Jothal's rival looked very similar to the man that had taken her arm. He had a shaved head, muddy eyes, and the red cloak. However, this man had a round face and a gift for controlling rock. Jothal thanked the Great Creator that her legs had not been stolen as she dodged the rock formations that her opponent seemed to be pulling out of the ground. She felt Rankein in her grip, waiting until she could take a swing. She waiting until his attacks let her leap towards him, and then brought the hammer end of Rankein careening through the air towards the side of his head. However, moments before impact, a wall of rock broke Rankein's path, sending shattered rock flying. This bought Jothal just enough time to circle back around with the axe end. It's sharp edge came hurdling towards the man's side. The explosion of rock had distracted the man long enough that Jothal was able to plunge the blade of her axe into the man's ribs. The man spluttered and fell to the ground. Jothal shoved the man off of Rankein with her leg and turned to see who needed help.
The miners were doing surprisingly well against their opponent. They had the man's hands pinned behind him, sending fire at the ground and out of harms way. Stone was bludgeoning the man with the flat end of his pickaxe. She looked for Vos, but found only his match looking around, confused. He had frost on his fingertips, so Jothal assumed that he favored ice attacks. She started for this man, but suddenly, seemingly out of thin air, Vos appeared behind the cultist and slit his throat with a Zehnite dagger. The act was fluid and skillful. It occurred to Jothal that she knew very little about this man.
It seemed that the miners had finished with their cultist as well, and so, with a nod from Jothal, the group sprinted towards the red door on the Matok, threw it open, and ran to the foreman's office. They ran to the main chamber of the mines, turned to their left, and headed for the entrance to the mine and freedom. They burst from the mine like birds escaping a cage and found the other miners waiting close by. A small gathering of Ithoans had formed, including Master Hebak. He gave Jothal a stern look, but she knew that he would be glad to have her home at least after he gave her a strict talking to. She sighed with relief and anxiety. Life would never be the same for her or Ithoa. Whatever these cultists were planning didn't sound good. She searched the crowd for the High Priest. She ran to him eagerly.
"My child!" Tacims said. "What ever happened here?" Jothal recounted the tale to the High Priest. His face remained rather stoic as he listened intently.
"They mentioned that they were trying to create an army for some demon… Azzasmar was his name." Jothal concluded. The High Priest lowered his head.
"Then it is true." Tacims sighed. "The fast approaching clouds are indeed a sign of his return to power. We must prepare. But later." He turned to Jothal. "We need to have you back in working order. There's no use hiding things from the people now. The signs are undeniable. A war is approaching." Jothal frowned. She was safe, but the future worried her. However, if she had learned anything during her journey, it was that she was prepared to fight for her people and their way of life. Whatever came next, Jothal was determined to meet it head on.
A few weeks later, production of weapons and armor was at an all time high. The mines had been cleared of all cult activity by Ithoan guards and a large supply of iron ore had been found, enough to start supplying the army that High Priest Tacims had ordered. Mainstay was bustling with life as the people prepared for the inevitable war that the approaching cloud would no doubt bring. Master Hebak's shop was constantly busy, and he could not be happier. Even Vos had taken up training some volunteers who had interests in joining this army alongside a few other capable men and women. As for Jothal, she was getting used to her new mechanical arm, made from a new shipment of Zehnite. She was beginning to help Master Hebak in his shop again, and could not be more relieved, even despite the growing tensions all around her. She knew that life would only continue to change, and that she could do nothing to prevent it from happening. Still, she couldn't help wishing for more adventures. She would find this adventure that she sought in the upcoming weeks and months, as the entirety of Lithilen prepared for battle.

"The problem is one of the terrain,'' said Mark Manna, Insurance Council of Texas spokesman. The Hill Country offers a favorable habitat for deer, especially near the county's rivers, he said. The animals can be danger-ous road hazards, but the effect on insurance rates cannot be easily calculated.

"It s really difficult to break down how serious the problem is (in a particular comity)," I lamia said. The Texas Department of Public Safety tracks vehic le collisions but doesn't break down the type of collisions by animal. According to DPS, 15 people were killed and more than 1,500 people were injured in motor vehicle collissions with animals in 2000.

"The economic impact that hunters have, not just on this community, but communities overall, is incredible," said Keith Warren, an outdoors enthusiast who has two national television programs.

McKenna Memorial I hospital, which hosted the group meeting Wednesday, treats about 15 sexual assault victims in its emergency room each year. In cases likely to result in a prosecution, sex assault victims have been sent to San Antonio, where Methodist I lealth System nurses trained as Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners collect evidence including hair, fibers and bodily fluids. The program, called SANE, involves specialized training in collecting evidence and testifying in court. Law enforcement officials, rape crisis workers and advo cates want McKenna to establish a SANE program in New Braunfels. Many victims, they say, are reluctant to leave New Braunfels for what can be an hours-long process of going to San Antonio lo be examined and have evidence collected. District attorney Dib Waldrip said the long wait is detrimental to a victim's emotional well-being — and a potential prosecution. "The wait becomes protracted," Waldrip said. "The drive time in and of itself plays a role, but it certainly does not help us in getting those exams completed when they have to go to San Antonio to achieve that result."

Arehart believes the support the tutors receive from other church members is what makes their program so successful.

Peter Alexander Gardere (born September 29, 1969) is a former American football quarterback, famous for his four-year tenure as Texas Longhorns quarterback in the late 1980s/early 1990s. He is the only starting quarterback on either side of the Texas-Oklahoma football rivalry to win four straight games in the Red River Rivalry. He set 10 school records and still shares the record for most interceptions thrown over a career.
Early life[edit]
Born in Houston, Texas in 1969, Gardere was a two sport star at Houston Robert E. Lee High School. As a football player, Gardere passed for 5754 yards,[1] leading the Generals to winning campaigns in 2 of his 3 starting seasons there. While at Houston Lee High School, he was selected MVP of the Houston region (1987), and won All State honors as a punter and a place kicker. In May, 2010, he was inducted into the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame, in Waco, Texas. At his alma mater, he was inducted into the "Robert E. Lee Hall of Honor" by unanimous vote of the alumni committee, in December, 2010. As a baseball player, he received all-District honors as a catcher and a first baseman. He was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 45th round[2] of the 1988 MLB June Amateur Draft and offered a try out by them again in 1991. .[3]
Longhorns career[edit]
Gardere is both the son and grandson of varsity football players at Texas. His grandfather, George, played quarterback at Texas in 1922 and his father, George Jr., broke his neck as a Texas defensive back on the first play of the first game he played in his sophomore year in 1953.[4] Gardere was recruited by coach David McWilliams as a quarterback for Texas and was also recruited by Michigan, Notre Dame and Penn State.[5] Gardere ran a pro-style offense while at UT, and graduated as 1st all-time among Longhorn quarterbacks in career passing yards with 7,396 yards. He still ranks 4th all time among Longhorn quarterbacks (and 6th in Southwest Conference history) in career passing yards, 3rd in career completions at Texas and is tied for 6th in career wins (25) with James Brown.[6] He is also in 2nd place for the most career plays at Quarterback in Southwest Conference history.
Nicknamed "Peter the Great" by Longhorn fans, Gardere is worshiped by Texas and reviled by OU fans as the only starting quarterback on either side of the Red River Rivalry, in the 100 year history of the series, to have won 4 consecutive games against the other team.[7][8] In each of those games Oklahoma was ranked and Texas was not.
Gardere started his redshirt freshman season as the backup to Mark Murdock, but he became the starter in the 4th game of the year against Rice. In that game he rallied the Longhorns to a 14-point 2nd half comeback, scoring the game winning touchdown with 4 minutes left.[9] Gardere followed that with back-to-back wins over #15 Oklahoma in the annual Red River Shootout and over #7 Arkansas in Fayetteville, leading the team to a #22 ranking. Gardere performed well in these games, combining to go 31–43 passing with two passing touchdowns against one interception.[7][10] But three losses over the next four games, including a 50-7 loss to Baylor, their first win in Austin since 1951, ruined Texas' season. Donovan Forbes, a former high school phenom from the Houston area making his only start for Texas, replaced an injured Gardere for the final game of the year, a loss to Texas A&M.[11] Gardere had a 4-3 record on the year, and threw 5 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. The team finished 5-6 with a 4-4 record in the Southwest Conference, tied for fifth with Baylor.
In 1990 Gardere led the Longhorns to the Southwest Conference title, a #3 ranking and the 1991 Cotton Bowl, where the Longhorns lost to Miami 46–3. The Longhorns pulled off upsets against then #21 Penn State, #4 Oklahoma and #3 Houston. Going into the season, many expected it to be his last as starter and that redshirt freshman Steve Clements would usurp him in the following year.[9] But Clements transferred to BYU[12] and Gardere started every game for the Longhorns for the next two seasons.
In 1991 the team went 5-6, in a season for which the only highlight was a 10-7 upset of #6 Oklahoma.
In 1992, under new head coach John Mackovic, the team went 6-5 upset #16 Oklahoma, but also lost to TCU, breaking a 24 game win streak - the 13th longest in college football history. After beating Oklahoma the fourth time, Oklahoma fans broke out in to cheers of "Graduate! Graduate!". He was named the team's MVP for the year. He finished his career with a record of 25-16 as a starter.
After his senior year of football was over, Gardere played outfield for the University of Texas baseball team for one season. The team went to the College World Series losing in the second round. A 9-4 loss to Oklahoma, when a Gardere error broke the game open, marked the only time he would lose to Oklahoma. Ironically, Texas was ranked #1 and Oklahoma was unranked.[13]

Professional career[edit]
After graduation in 1992, Gardere got a training camp invitation with the Seattle Seahawks in 1993. He was beaten out for the punter position by Rick Tuten, who became a Pro Bowl player. But two days after being cut by Seattle, Gardere was punting for the Sacramento Gold Miners of the Canadian Football League.[4] He was the West Division's leading punter that year.[14] He played one more year Sacramento and then another for the Memphis Mad Dogs. He was often listed as a Punter/Quarterback, but he never took a snap in the CFL. In 1996, he tried out for the New Orleans Saints, but was cut in training camp and retired from football.
Gardere returned to Austin in 1997 and was the passing coach and stand-in for stars James Van Der Beek and Paul Walker in the 1999 movie Varsity Blues, filmed in Austin.[15] He briefly worked as recruiter of NFL prospects for a sports agent company in Austin.[4]
He is currently a commercial real estate portfolio manager in Austin, Texas.

Herbalife (HLF) stock is once again showing its resilience despite a new attack by activist investor Bill Ackman, helped by an analyst upgrade.
Argus raised its rating on the maker of weight loss and nutritional supplements to buy from hold and lifted its EPS estimate to $5.15 from $4.80 for 2013 and to $6 from $5.80 for 2014.
It cited expectations that profit growth will remain strong as well as hopes Herbalife will step up share buybacks. The research firm set a price target of 80. Herbalife is currently trading at around 64.
The upgrade came a day after reports that Perry Capital has taken a stake in Herbalife of less than 5%, joining hedge fund managers Carl Icahn and George Soros in bets against Ackman.
Herbalife stock was down slightly in early-afternoon trade in the stock market, after making early gains.
Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management famously shorted the stock in December with a $1 billion bet, accusing the company of running a pyramid scheme.
Herbalife denied the accusations as shares initially tanked. But they have nearly doubled this year, creating big losses for Pershing.
Ackman wrote Tuesday in his Q2 Pershing Square investors letter that the chances of "aggressive regulatory intervention" against Herbalife have "increased materially." He cited recent rule changes and departures of several top distributors this year.
The latest attack followed reports that the recent death of a top Herbalife salesman was a suicide, raising questions over the company's earlier ban on controversial lead-generating practices.
Shares closed 4% lower that day, but regained most of their loss Tuesday on the Perry Capital reports.

Chapter Three
The morning was clear and dewy with the edge of the northern winds drifting in the nooks and crannies of Percival Farringley's manor estate. A dark brown coach was parked outside, the horses reined and the driver standing aside the lead horse, feeding her a few pieces of diced carrots.
"M'lord, are you sure about leaving this soon? The funeral was only yesterday and I'm sure there are other duties you have to attend to here."
"Kalvins, if I wanted your advice I'd ask for it. Now get in the coach, I doubt they'll have a decent butler and I'll need your services."
"Very well m'lord." Fredrick Kalvins wiped his shoes off on the grate and stepped into the coach, being careful not to jostle it too much.
"Driver, put the rest of the luggage on the top and let's get going - and don't lolly gaggle about it!"
The driver obediently placed the heavy cases atop the coach, climbed up to the seat, tapped the horses in turn with the whip and with a quick shout they started the journey.
"So how long will it be until we get there Kalvins?"
"Well if we make good time we'll be there by lunch, if not supper."
"Have you sent a message ahead of us?"
"Of course - I sent specific orders about your dietary needs, how you like the room to be presented and how you wish the servants to behave, although I heard your uncle was keeping a his castle very well despite his age."
"Good on the old boy, but I might make some changes - it is legally mine now."
Kalvins looked out the window and pondered saying what he thought. "But not yet, you need the deeds transferred to your name. And what about Hildreth Manor?"
"What about it? When I get Grittoch I can sell it for all I care. In fact when we get to Grittoch find the local laywer and get his opinion on selling the place."
"Yes sire."
Sunlight streamed in through the window on the third bedroom on the first floor of the Grittoch Manor. There was a knock at the door and Joan Andrews stepped briskly in with a tray of breakfast.
"Good morning Miss Parks? Sleep well?"
"Quite well Mrs Andrews."
"Didin't go off gallavanting in the woods with any local boys?"
Lucinda looked down at the bedsheets and thought about her answer.
"There isn't much that gets past me, I saw you come in last night, brought a rat in at the same time so I had to catch it before he got into tthe pantry."
"I'm sorry Mrs Andrews. You won't tell my father will you?"
"Tell him what? I don't know what you did, but you seemed happier then than you did at that god-awful wake."
"You noticed that too?"
"My dear, I told you; nothing gets past me, and if it does it's not really important."
"I see. What's the time?"
"According to my watch it's half past seven and time for you to eat your breakfast. Scrambled eggs, porridge and a cup of tea. If there's anything else you need just shout and someone will be here soon." She left the tray at the foot of the bed and walked briskly out again, closing the door with a gentle thud.

Tonight was Trick or Treat night in my town. We always do it on the 30th, because there is a parade on the 31st. It's always at night, downtown, so there are streelights. They are pretty adamant about it being held on the exact day of Halloween, too. Here are my girls. In Claire's class their costume had to be a book character, so she went as the Grouchy Ladybug- complete with angry eyebrows and boxing gloves ("Hey you!Wanna fight?"). Lydia was a cowgirl- do you like her horse? She named it Blanche.
And here are the fruits of their labor. 2 candy buckets full o' candy. I used to be kind of a Nazi about their intake. "Only 3 pieces! Only 3 pieces! Three pieces, I tell you!" Then, I backed off and realized that if I let them have at it (within reason- I really don't want to clean up barf...), they really only are interested the first couple of days. They eat the good stuff with abandon (or is it without abandon?) and then lose interest. By Thanksgiving, we are usually down to Tootsie Rolls, Dum Dums and what I like to call "parade candy"- you know- the kind they throw at parades.
Do you remember spreading your loot out on the living room floor and practically rolling around in it? Did it look like this?
And do you also remember sorting your candy? Like this?
Notice the pile of parade candy. That will be there for a long time. And the Almond Joy? Mr. T will eat that- what kid likes Almond Joy? Maybe a couple, but I can guarantee none of them like Mounds. And Smarties? Not really a fan. I like to have Smarties and Dum Dums in my classroom to give as Bingo prizes, though. It's usually lost on the kids, but I think it's funny.
What you'll notice here is a very respectable number of M&M's and Tootsie Rolls of varying sizes and varieties. Not bad. Also, several Butterfingers (my personal favorites), a Payday bar, couple of Nestle Crunch (could really do without that particular candy bar...) and some Nerds, a lone tube of Whoppers (yum) and a full-sized package of bubblegum from the neighbors up the street who don't get many trick or treaters.
Kit-Kats seemed to be the winner this year (though you can't see that in the picture), with Reese's being a close second. What was with the bag of chips? Just so the kids could flaunt their goodie bags and proclaim truthfully that they had gotten the proverbial "all that AND a bag of chips?" A small pile of Sweet-tarts to remind me of my childhood. Remember those little paper packages of 3 Sweet-tarts? It seemed like we got TONS of them and they were hardly worth the effort of opening them. I liked them and all, but I much preferred to have a whole roll to suck on while reading. I'd suck on them until they dissolved and the roof of my mouth was completely ripped apart. Good times. Not so good in the Snickers department this year- pretty lame, in fact. Starbursts had a good showing, though, and the 100Grand coming in at a 12-way tie with many others for dead last.
This last picture shows some nostalgic candy- do you see the orange-wrapped candy next to the Mary Jane (heh-heh, my kid got Mary Jane in her candy bag....)? That's peanut butter taffy that I hated when I was a kid, and it seemed like we got it from everyone. Now, I like it. There is also Laffy Taffy, Bottlecaps (which is kinda funny now, since most kids have never had soda out of an actual bottle with a cap), gummy creepy crawlies, Tootsie Pops (the orange ones are the absolute best and the thing about the Indian on the wrapper is just a myth, thank you Food Network)and some "candy sticks", once called candy cigarettes that were sooooo much fun when we were kids and would send most parents into an early grave if their kids had one in their possession.
So what were/are your favorite Halloween treats? I remember there was always a family in my neighborhood who gave apples, one who gave homemade cookies, one who gave bags of popcorn, one who gave caramel apples to the first lucky few through their door and always one house that handed out full sized candy bars. The cookies usually broke, I was never allowed to eat the apple and the popcorn was pretty stale. Some lame-o gave pennies and nickels and a very well-intentioned neighborhood dentist always gave out toothbrushes. My daughters get little plastic bottles of juice every year from the same family. It's yucky, but they like it and kind of look forward to it. They got Goldfish crackers (lame!) and plastic toys like yo-yos and clackers from some lady who obviously doesn't have children nor has any recollection of ever having been a child herself. Those yo yos never work and those damn clackers get thrown out inside of a week because they drive us all nuts.
But enough about us. Tell us about your treats!

The son of Robert Maxwell and brother of Kevin, Ian is back in business with Telemonde, a pounds 30m Bermuda-based company that supplies fibre-optic services to the telecoms industry. Brother Kevin will be minding the shop until Ian completes his courtroom stint.
ONE OF the most successful retailing barons of the Eighties is back in the thick of the action - with a foray into the Internet industry.
The figure - who will be named in a week's time - has put some of his gains into Online Strategy and Solutions or "onsas.com", a new online business consultancy which he will chair.
The start-up is the brain child of Andy Yates, a former journalist on this very organ who went to the BBC a couple of years ago to work on its website. Using the experience he picked up at White City, Mr Yates intends to issue "a wake-up call to British business".
"We're going to write to the executives of Britain's top companies telling them how their sites can be improved," he declares. The other prime mover, and with Mr Yates joint-owner, is Mark Pritchard, an investment banker who used to work for Bank of America and JP Morgan and who went on to set up his own e-commerce consultancy.
n MICHAEL HESELTINE, MP for Henley, owner of the Haymarket publishing group and one of the "Big Beasts" of the Tory europhile wing, was spotted in Moscow airport last weekend.
Appropriately for a former Communist country, provisions don't seem to have been made for VIPs, and Hezza was having to slum it in the departure area with the proles. As passengers queued for the London flight, there was an almighty punch-up at the gate. Fans of Tarzan were surprised to find that the legendary mace-wielding former minister chose to remain seated, rather than get stuck in to help a luckless Brit set upon by an unhinged Muscovite.
Reassuringly for Mr Heseltine, his former status as a minister of Her Majesty's Government was duly recognised on his arrival back in Blighty, where he was waved through passport control at Heathrow with a "don't worry, that's all right sir".
n SCOTTISH WIDOWS has scrapped this year's "Young Financial Journalist of the Year" award because the 20 entrants aren't up to scratch.
The judges met last week to examine the entries. They short-listed five writers, but then decided the standard wasn't up to previous years and called the whole thing off. A spokesman said: "It's a bit depressing. There were a few instances where they really murdered the Queen's English." At least this will save Scottish Widows the pounds 2,000 prize money for the best student journalist, and pounds 1,000 for his or her college.
A spokesman for the insurance company insists the competition will be back next year.
n YOU MAY be familiar with the magnificent Willis Corroon building, opposite the Tower of London, which houses a leading City insurance broker. Now the firm has dropped the "Corroon", creating the e-mail friendly moniker "willis". The US- owned broker reckoned without Simon Burgess, a one-man insurance maverick who runs his own brokerage, GRIP. Mr Burgess has registered "willis. co.uk", and says willis can buy it "for a couple of grand". This provokes a loud guffaw from a willis spokesman. When told Mr Burgess has registered thename, the spokesman says: "Good for him." So - will the firm buy Mr Burgess out? "No".
Mr Burgess is also a barrister and a specialist in intellectual property law. Let battle commence.

ISH 2015: The DAIKIN group set to showcase the best in efficiency
The ISH Exhibition, the world's leading trade fair for energy-efficient heating and air conditioning.is due to be held in Frankfurt in March 2015. The DAIKIN group with the brands DAIKIN and ROTEX presents itself in Hall 8.0, Stand E94. As well as showcasing their latest innovations in heat pumps, condensing boilers and solar thermal systems DAIKIN and ROTEX will unveil their new energy efficiency label. With its innovative range of heating and hot water products, DAIKIN and ROTEX are well positioned ahead of the introduction of the new energy efficiency standards.
As of September 26, 2015, energy-related products including heater and hot water systems, will be required to display the new-style energy labels. Setting new minimum efficiency standards, the aim of the directive is to increase the efficiency of energy-related products on the market, phasing out all inefficient systems. By introducing standardized a label format, the EU's aim is to make it easier for purchasers to obtain clear and comprehensive information on product energy efficiency when comparing alternative types and makes of system.
The DAIKIN group is well positioned with its product portfolio for the new energy efficiency classes, mainly because regenerative heat pumps in energy efficiency labels do well. However, gas or oil boilers can also achieve higher efficiency classes when they are combined with a solar thermal system. ROTEX products offer a clear advantage here, because they are optimized for the solar connection already (integrated backupheater and large storage volume). These systems are capable of performing to the highest energy efficiency classes set out within the new Energy Labelling Directive.
As well as finding out more about the new energy efficiency label, visitors to the DAIKIN stand at this year's ISH exhibition will also be able to learn more about how DAIKIN and ROTEX will be supporting installer and distributors in the future with advice on how to apply the label.
Visit DAIKIN and ROTEX at ISH from 10 to 14/03/205, Messe Frankfurt in Hall 8.0, Stand E94

nbasket Review
I like the look of this backpack, with the two tones. The leather part is thick and sturdy, interior is roomy, doesn't have lots of specific partitions, but I wanted it as a tote for devices to have along in the car on a road trip to national parks. I could put in my notebook, small binocs, Kindle, cords and stuff for an efficient tote into different lodging every night..and I always knew where those things were. The straps are not designed for REAL backpack use- a slight design change on those would be welcome. It is roomy enough to be a smallish overnight bag for the efficient. The leather smells good. A relative plans on buying one after seeing it. It still looks too new, so this fisrt trip was a start on making it look used and traveled. I would buy it again...it was on sale when I bought it. I will get years and years of use from this puppy.
- How accurate was the sizing? right on
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Well made- sturdy
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? yes

Senior Western diplomats in Africa believe that Mr Kabila's troops are capable of taking the town, Zaire's third-largest city and headquarters of the government's flagging counter-offensive. "They'll probably take the city by the end of this month," one said. Strategically located at the headwaters of the country's most significant artery, the River Zaire, Kisangani is viewed as the key to controlling the sprawling interior.
Zairean defence officials said that aircraft which bombed the towns of Bukavu, Shabunda and Walikale on Monday took off from Kisangani. Aid officials said that at least nine people were killed and up to 37 wounded in Bukavu, and that thousands of refugees were fleeing.
Mr Kabila yesterday used an interview on French television to issue his threat. "These are terrorist actions," he said of the bombing. "And we are going to get ready to take the war precisely to the place from where the bombers took off."
A senior defence official said that Goma, the biggest city in rebel hands, was the next target. Bombing raids on nearby Bukavu and other parts of eastern Zaire have reignited fears of a concerted government campaign against civilian targets. But among Goma's inhabitants, belief in the rebels' ability to win the war has not been shaken. Billed last month as "total and devastating", the government's counter-offensive has failed to halt the rebel advance.
The fighting is now taking place far to the west, deep in the equatorial rainforest. Since launching their campaign last October, the rebels have taken control of a huge swath of eastern Zaire and renamed it the Democratic Republic of Congo. Not a week goes past without the capture of a new town or strategic junction.
Led by the long-time revolutionary Mr Kabila, the Alliance of Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Congo-Zaire (ADFL) has enjoyed astounding success. With the exception of a couple of initial battles, the Zairean army (FAZ) has hardly bothered to engage the rebels. Instead, the demoralised troops have retreated, raping and looting on their way.
"It is not so much that the rebels have succeeded," a Western diplomat in the region said. "It's more a question of the FAZ having failed. They're without logistics, training and a will to fight. Even the mercenaries hired by the government have taken a beating."
Suggestions that the rebels' success could only have been achieved with the backing of Rwanda and Uganda continue to be denied by the ADFL and by the country's eastern neighbours. Western diplomats in the Rwandan capital, Kigali, insist that there is no evidence of direct involvement by either country. Some, however, concede that Rwanda might be providing the rebels with military instructors. Sources inside Zaire indicate that the ADFL's officer cadre is being trained at a camp inside Uganda. "We are doing this on our own," the ADFL commissioner of information, Raphael Ghenda, said, seated in his office in central Goma. "The arms we have were left behind by the fleeing Zairean army. I can't say where we bought our uniforms. But we have used the riches of the region to support our struggle."
So brazen has the rebel thrust become that Mr Kabila has given President Mobutu Sese Seko until this Friday to resign. If he does not, the rebel leader says he will march his men right across the country and into the capital, Kinshasa.
"There's quite a lot of propaganda with this regime," an aid worker in Goma said. "But, so far, everything they've said has come true. If they say they're going to take a town, they take it. In fact, that's part of their strategy - to announce their next step and wait for the FAZ to flee."
A new offensive against Kisangani could have important results. "The effect on the government of the rebels taking Kisangani would be devastating," a high-ranking Western diplomat in the region said. "The negotiations will start if they reach Kisangani." What shape talks might take is difficult to envisage. Despite his precarious state of health after a cancer operation, President Mobutu, 66, has vowed to crush the rebels by force. For his part, Mr Kabila insists that no negotiations can begin until the President stands down.
Anxious to avert a costly humanitarian crisis in Zaire - the almost inevitable fall-out of prolonged conflict in Africa's third largest country - the United States has been actively engaged in mediating between the two sides. One scenario is that President Mobutu, an old Cold War ally, might be prevailed upon to take his plundered fortune and settle quietly in exile. This would leave the way open for Mr Kabila to make a deal with the legitimate opposition and form an interim government. On one point most observers are in agreement: President Mobutu's star is in decline.

Tulkinghorn loves Southampton. The Titanic, Matt Le Tissier, Craig David… so much history.
But it appears Graham Prentice loves the city more. The former Dewey & LeBoeuf partner once bid more than £10,000 for a winner's medal from Southampton FC's 1976 FA Cup victory over Manchester United FC.
Sadly, Prentice's bid wasn't high enough to win. To make matters worse, he lost to former Saints chairman Rupert Lowe (not the most popular character in Southampton). Don't feel too bad for Prentice, though, he's already got one medal. And as Prentice says of his auction loss: "At least I made [Lowe] pay more for it."
Brit strop
Election night goss reached Tulkinghorn last week, and from no greater authority than the head of litigation and dispute resolution at Edwin Coe and Lawyer Awards judging panel member David Greene.
The lawyer is a Labour man through and through. Indeed, in the 2005 general election Greene stood against Tory candidate (and the most popular House of Commons speaker of all time) John Bercow.
Greene was ably assisted in his 2005 bid by his daughter, who helped him on the canvassing trail, ferrying old dears to polling stations and the like. As with all political endeavours, however, not all of these attempts to boost the Labour vote were successful.
As Greene recalls: "My daughter helped this charming old lady into the polling booth, only to come out a few minutes later with a horrified look on her face, saying, 'Oh my God, she's voting BNP'."
Tulkinghorn believes the charming old lady made her own way home.
Punny business
A delightfully witty press release that fell into Tulkinghorn's in-box last week got him thinking about other law firm-related puns.
See if you can decipher the source of last week's killer line: "Law firm 'Steeles' Eversheds solicitor".
That's right, fun fans, Norwich's finest, Steeles, last week heralded the arrival of former Sheds litigation associate Katy Levy with that snappy header.
Imagine Tulkinghorn's surprise when, in the same week, he also received a release from Wiggin on follicle law, Coffin Mew on death duties and Wright Hassall on dealing with sexual predators at work.
Tulkinghorn is far too polite a gent to unveil the content of the release he got from Moon Beever.
Taken for a ride
Here's a little story from one of Tulkinghorn's favourite posh lawyer mates that reveals the true extent of the pricing pressures on firms.
The lawyer in question, who shall remain nameless, recalls being midway through a conversation with his client on the precise level of his bill for services rendered when the client leaned forward and said, sotto voce: "I wonder, would you mind just nibbling my ear? I always prefer a little foreplay when I'm being f*cked from behind."
Taxman relief
More on the election. Tulkinghorn learnt last week that one well-known tax lawyer fainted during his medical examination at work the following Friday after staying up all night at an election party.
The poor mite apparently hit the ground with the force of an ejected Labour leader – something about a "big, clunking fist" springs to mind – after getting his heart rate up
to 180 on the running machine.
Still, Tulkinghorn is delighted to inform you, dear reader, that the lawyer felt much better after he was given a chocolate digestive by the nurse. Aww.

Going soft.
I hesitantly knock on the door. I could feel this was Morgans room.
"Come in?" I wondered why she sounded questioning. She let out a sigh when I walked in. Half dissapointed, half releived. She was flopped down on her bed. Slightly out of breath, I could hear her heart beating frantically. It appeared like she had been running. She didn't look like the physically gifted type like me but prehaps she was fast or agile?
"Hey dad." Poor thing looked exhausted but she needed to be told. Her birthday was growing closer.
"Hey sweety. I know it's late but I think theres really some things we should talk about." She yawned only half listening. Her mind was obviously on other things. I couldn't do it. She seemed just so content for tonight.
"What is it dad?" Her eyes were half closed and was obviously trying to pay as much attention as possible. Sweet kid.
"I just wanted to say I love you, and no matter what happens I'll always stick by your decisions ok?" She smiled
"Love you to Dad" She smiled her eyes now compleatly closed. I let her drift off and stayed to watch her sleep a while. The air around her head tinted the softest shade of lilac as she dreamed.
I kissed her forhead and quietly I snuck out of her room. "Sleep tight Morgan. You'll need it." I was going soft. I supose thats ok in this situation though. I grinned to myself as I collapsed down in my room. Her mother would be so proud of her.
"Mike!" someone woke me. I groned as Mrs.B used all her might and both hands to try and shake me, only ending up shaking herself while she attempted to get her small hands around my forearm. It was only nine fourty seven. I was planning on waking at ten anyway.
She thrust a cup of tea into my hands and walked away muttering about the enormity of this place and needing a map. The tea was slightly cold. I think she had been looking for my room for a while.
"Oh, Mrs.B? Is that second cup of tea for morgan?"
She bumbled back in. "Yes it is. Why?" I took a small peice of paper between my forefinger and thumb and clicked my fingers with the paper between them. A small Flame emerged from the paper and I heated both cups of tea.
"Shes in the Room next to Ash. Would you mind telling her I need to speak to her after breakfast?"
"I know where her room is! Of course I will tell her." Truth being she would have wandered a while untill some sign eventually pointed her towards Morgan but I know to pretend.
She bumbled back out again with Morgans re-heated tea. This time muttering about being very sharp for an older lady. I had to hand it to Mrs.B she was incredible for her age. Feisty yet sturdy, a real force to be reckoned with. I hold her in the highest respects for it.

Anyone who owns a Chevrolet knows that when it comes to maintaining their car, truck, or SUV only the absolute best replacement parts will do. Chevrolet automobile enthusiasts have become used to a certain level of dependability when driving their K20 Pickup around town. It's not all the time that you find yourself in need of a replacement Disc Brake Pads to repair your vehicle. When your Chevrolet K20 Pickup left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who prioritizes value in their automobile.
Your Chevrolet K20 Pickup disc brake pads were first imagined and used on race cars as an advanced means for stopping the vehicle. They deliver better stopping power and more reliable braking than the brake shoes they eventually replaced. You will find your vehicle's brake pads in the caliper situated around a portion of your brake rotor. Hydraulic pressure from your master cylinder is transferred to the caliper, and it presses the disc brake pads onto the surface of the brake disc absorbing its energy. This thermal reaction slows your car or truck down, and eventually brings it to a stop.
Buying new Chevrolet parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement K20 Pickup parts on the internet. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Chevrolet K20 Pickup part for your project or repair. Bring your K20 Pickup back to life with the best repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Chevrolet K20 Pickup Disc Brake Pads parts for 1974, 1973, 1972, 1971 vehicles are available here... just click your year to find them.

What would you call your "guilty pleasure" game?[ Edited ]
People are quick to offer up their favorite game but what would be that "guilty pleasure" game you really enjoyed maybe kind of to yourself? The game that you wouldn't brag to your friends that you owned and perhaps might even say "pfft I'm not sure why that game is on my shelf, I think my neice and nephew brought that over one day and left it here".
These aren't all Playstation examples but just so you know the kind of game I'm talking about maybe it was like a Pikman game, or Katamari Damacy, or like a Dr. Mario back in the NES days. Or maybe it wasn't so much a "kiddy" game that had you keeping it under cover but rather an "adult content" game you thought people might think you silly to play such as a Playboy: The Mansion or Leisure Suit Larry. Either way, I'm sure everyone who's been gaming a long while has at least one game they kind of only pull out to play when no one else is around.
For me I would list Katamari Damacy as one of them as well as Playboy:The mansion (was kind of like playing The Sims with nudity lol.) I'd probably add SimAnt to that from the SuperNes days, not quite the game I'd pull out when my Mortal Kombat and Madden friends popped over for some gaming and having to explain why I thought living the life of an Ant was a fun gaming experience. I might add Harvest Moon to that list to which I spent an uncomfortable amout of time playing on the N64. To my credit though it was far more fun and had more depth then the watered down Farmville crap that took the social media world by storm. (Apologies to any who would have chosen Farmville as their guilty pleasure game lol).
Edit: Updated label. For more information on labels, click here: http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-General/Labels-Best-Practices-in-PS-General/td-p/...
Re: What would you call your "guilty pleasure" game?
Some that come to mind are:
1. Karaoke and dancing games. I have way too many of these and can't sing or dance to save my life.
2. The sims series. I don't know why I find them so fun. Harvest moon was awesome too by the way.
3. I also like to play kiddy games.
Re: What would you call your "guilty pleasure" game?
Homefront was that game for a while, but eventually it got too laggy to play and I traded it towards something else. Maybe Medal of Honor 2010? It got decent reviews, but a lot of people did not like it. I loved the campaign in that game, and the multiplayer was pretty decent (but very barebones) too.
Re: What would you call your "guilty pleasure" game?
Feeling embarrassed about playing a video game isn't something that has ever occurred to me. I've never felt ashamed for playing certain games. After all, who cares if you've spent time ogling the goodies in Playboy: The Mansion or rolled around on a ball full of attachable stuff throughout the world of Katamari Damacy?
I've actually played both games. The only thing I regret is having spent money on titles such as Katamari, which turned out to be one of worst $20 investments I've made based on the strong recommendation of others. When it comes to video games though, the only time I'll really spend much time talking about them is either if the game is really, really good or if it's just the opposite. I can go on and on about how much I dislike the Call of Duty franchise, or about how much fun I've had playing through Tearaway. I've even openly suggested Tearaway to a friend, explaining about the creativity and end result where you're setting forth to reach the You in the Vita's camera: yourself.
Re: What would you call your "guilty pleasure" game?
I do not have a guilty pleasure game. Why feel guilty about something I like? Just because people may not like a game isn't a good reason not to enjoy it.
Re: What would you call your "guilty pleasure" game?
DDR and Pump it Up.
Back in college I used to do tournaments, but it seems like last gen had a severe lack of actual ddr entries and ended up with all those silly casual party ones.

Otaku Project
The Otaku Project was a defunked group of anime and manga reviewers, each member having their own style of reviewing what they reviewed. Brett was once a member of this group, but the group was disbanded back in 2013.
Due to having deleted all of his videos for some reason, it is unknown exactly how many videos that he once had.
