Guide By: The Pants Party
There are 31 achievements with a total of 1000 points.
Show / Hide Guide Road Map
[x360a would like to thank The Pants Party for this Roadmap]
|Spent a fortune at shops.
This achievement requires 100,000 Gil spent at either any of the numerous Chocolina locations or the Serendipity casino currency exchange. If you don't receive this naturally while finishing the game or going for the "Serendipitous" achievement, simply save the game, sell all your equipment (have the "Haggler" Fragment Skill on at this point if you have it) and then buy a mass of items to unlock it, then reload your save so you haven't lost anything.
|Clock Stopper
|Responded swiftly to the appearance of enemies.
This achievement requires 100 consecutive preemptive strikes. You will know you got a preemptive strike right away if "Great!" flashes on the screen when you initiate battle. This will occur if you attack () while the Mog Clock is still in the green, or if it is yellow and you attack the enemy from behind.
|Staggered a significant number of enemies.
You will need to stagger 50 enemies for this achievement. To stagger an enemy, simply fill their Stagger Meter by attacking. Magical attacks (Sab/Rav) will fill it faster, while direct attacks (Com) will decrease the rate at which it drains. Each enemy has its own unique percentage you'll need to reach before it gets staggered. You will likely get this in the first or second chapter; you'll stagger thousands of enemies before you're all done.
|Quick Draw
|Performed a significant number of preemptive strikes.
You will need 50 preemptive strikes for this achievement. See "Clock Stopper" for more information on preemptive strikes. Note that using the "Retry" option will remove that battle from your count toward the 50 needed. For some reason it does not interrupt the "Clock Stopper" achievement, but it does interfere with this one.
|Wild Thing
|Successfully used Feral Link abilities a significant number of times.
You will need to use Feral Link 100 times for this achievement. Feral Link is a special monster ability, so you will need to have your third party member set up before you can do this. As you battle, the Feral Link gauge will slowly increase (there are abilities monsters can have that will increase this rate, as well as accessories you can equip), then once it fills you can press to perform the FL. During the QTE, make sure you hit the button(s) in time or it will not count toward this total.
|No Retreat
|Fought a significant number of battles without using the "Retry" option.
You will need to successfully complete 50 battles without using the "Retry" option - whether you manually choose to do so or die and are forced to. Like staggering enemies, this should happen naturally as you play.
|Performed a multitude of paradigm shifts.
This will require a total of 1,000 paradigm shifts. Once you have your paradigms setup in the menu (there will be a tutorial on this if you didn't play the first game), simply press and then select a new paradigm to switch your character's roles. Between dealing damage, raising stagger meters and healing, you'll be doing this quite often but it will likely be on of your last achievements in the game still.
|Budding Hunter
|Defeated an army's worth of enemies.
I'm not sure what army they're referring to for this achievement, but it only requires 100 enemies defeated. Likely this will be your first or second achievement of the game.

Story related and cannot be missed. Unlocked at the beginning of Episode 6. See "Epic Finisher" for more info.
|Trigger Finger
|Obtained five Cinematic Bonus rewards.
Cinematic Bonuses are earned by successfully completing the "Quick-Time Events" (QTE) during boss battles, which means never hitting an incorrect button or waiting too long to hit a button. If you make a mistake during a battle, you can pause the game and choose to retry the battle, or you can simply come back later using the Time Reversal feature. If you've done this successfully, you'll see the message "Cinematic Action: Perfect!" on screen and will receive the reward after the battle with "Cinematic Bonus" written next to it.
|Witnessed every possible Paradox Ending.
There are nine total endings you need to witness to unlock this achievement. The first in the list can be done as you play through the game for your first time (as well as the third and fourth using Time Reversals, but you may as well come back after you beat the game and you're the strongest). The rest need to be done after beating the game and unlocking the "Paradox Scope" Fragment Skill from the Chocobo Girl in the Serendipity Casino.
#1: Fate and Freedom
#2: The Future is Hope
#3: A Giant Mistake
#4: Mog's Marvelous Flan Plan
#5: Vanille's Truth
#6: Test Subjects
#7: Beneath a Timeless Sky
#8: Heir to Chaos
#9: Secret Ending (Requires 160 Fragments)
|Epic Finisher
|Followed the story to its conclusion.
Simply complete the game to earn this achievement. A walkthrough if you get stuck at any point can be found here.
|Saddle Sore
|Went the distance on chocobo-back.
This achievement requires 10,000 steps while riding a chocobo. If you have not received this by the end of the game, or just want to grind it out quickly while you're away from the game, use a rubber band to hold the to the side and run in circles for a while. Make sure you won't hit a wall or anything to stop your progress. The achievement will unlock once you dismount.
|Amassed a fortune in casino coins.
You will need to have winnings of 10,000 Casino Coins for this achievement to unlock. This requires that you be UP 10k, so even if you've won 10k, but spent 2k doing it, that means you're at 8k worth of winnings. You can win the coins via the races or the slot machines, but I would suggest using the slot machines to do this, since you need to spend some time there to earn the "Lucky Coin" fragment anyway (by earning a total of 7,777 Casino Coins at the slot machines) and the chocobo races can be extremely tedious.
|Completed an entire fragment category.
The two easiest categories to complete are collecting the Graviton Cores or the doing all the Quiz related fragments. See "Defragmented" for more information since you'll need to finish every category anyway.
|Completed every fragment category.
There are 10 total categories with a total of 160 fragments to collect. Many will come naturally by defeating bosses, resolving temporal rifts, earning the paradox endings and completing side-quests. Some require more lengthy tasks such as 100% map or monster data. A complete guide can be found here.
|Scarlet Medal
|Defeated a powerful enemy with graceful poise.
This achievement requires a 5-star rating in the battle with Atlas (Weakened Version) in Episode 2, Bresha Ruins AF005. This can be done on Easy difficulty to save a bit of stress. Note that you do not need to get a perfect Cinematic Bonus to unlock the achievement, though you will need it for "Trigger Finger" and "Defragmented."
|Cerulean Medal
|Defeated a powerful enemy with valiant skill.
This achievement requires a 5-star rating in the battle with Proto fal'Cie Adam in Episode 4, Augusta Tower AF200. This can be done on Easy difficulty to save a bit of stress. This boss actually has three forms, but you can end the battle after the second if you get a Perfect Cinematic Bonus during the QTE (See "Trigger Finger"). You'll need to do this to earn the 5-star rating. Remember to come back and defeat the third form eventually for a requirement of "Defragmented" though!
|Obsidian Medal
|Defeated a powerful enemy with perfect execution.
This achievement requires a 5-star rating in the battle with Paco Amethyst & Paco Luvulite in Episode 6, Academia AF500. This can be done on Easy difficulty to save a bit of stress. You'll want to whittle both enemies down to low health and kill them fairly close together or they'll revive each other which will prolong the fight and drop your rating.
|Supreme Being
|Fully developed all abilities.
This achievement requires both Noel and Serah to be Level 99 in all six of their roles in the Crystarium. You are awarded CP for a lot more than just battles (completing quests, collecting fragments, unlocking paradox endings, etc), so you actually might earn this on the way to all the other achievements without putting too much effort into it.
|Big Game Hunter
|Defeated every worthy opponent.
This achievement requires the defeat of four bosses in the Archylte Steppe area. You'll need to kill them all for their fragments to earn "Defragmented" as well. Once you can ride chocobos in this map (find all five statues on the map below and then speak with the keeper), you'll also be able to battle these opponents. To spawn them, use the weather machine at the hunter camp to create the right weather condition.
|Giant's Fist
|Dealt 99,999 damage with a single attack.
If you played the first game you'll be familiar with this method (the Limit Breaker achievement).
|Beast Tamer
|Befriended a most unfriendly monster.
This achievement requires you to collect the Monster Crystal of Don Tonberry. He can only be found in Bresha Ruins 100AF, which is unlocked via the blue gate in A Dying World 700AF (requires a Wild Artefact to open). You can increase the chance of running into him with the "Battle Mania" Fragment Skill, which is unlocked by completing the "Academic Rank: Paradox Professor" quest in City of Academia 400AF (100% Map Data). You'll know you've found him if you see a big ball of lightning (see video below).
|Fair Fighter
|Defeated a powerful enemy on equal terms.
This requires that you defeat the rare enemy Rasputil on NORMAL DIFFICULTY. This enemy can be found in Oerba Village 400AF. Again, have the "Battle Mania" skill on to encounter him more quickly (see "Beast Tamer"). If you've already done the "Supreme Being" achievement this shouldn't be too difficult of a fight. Make sure you also have some well-developed monsters with you. Note that the boss can Wound you, so bring Blood Potions to recover the lost health.
|Obtained the highest possible result in the battle to determine the fate of the world.
This achievement requires a 5-star rating in the final battle of the game. This can be done on Easy difficulty to save a bit of stress.

This is a must see for anyone interested in Takemitsu, Japanese film, or film music. For that matter, it's great for anyone interested in filmmaking or music in general. Takemitsu was a amazingly unique composer, and this film illustrates repeatedly the impact he brought to the films he worked on, so much so that he could be considered a star of these films. He had the ability to add rich emotion and context to films with a few simple strokes. One word of warning though... the film contains many clips from several films, and almost invariably they are the strongest scenes from those films. So you might want to see films like Ran, Double Suicide, Face of Another and Empire of Passion before you see this film.

Location. I didn't like a room with no outdoor window. I got an atrium room and my door and window faced an indoor public area.
The staff was friendly and helpful from the time that I arrived to the time I departed. With traveling w a small child, I needed my room located on the ground level and close to an exterior door. The staff accommodated my request without a problem.
Clean, comfortable bed, good breakfast, good location right off interstate. Smaller room w. queen bed, a bit noisy with many families and young children.
Hot breakfast before rest of our journey. Indoor pool. Everyone helpful Can't think of anything
The room was clean, bed was super comfy, food was fantastic! We will definitely be staying here again.
Easy to get to location, felt very welcome, rooms were nice and bed comfortable. The pool area needs a deep cleaning....pool walls were turning brown, whripool has staining and pool deck need power washing.
The staff at this hotel was extremely friendly and accommodating. The rooms were spacious and very nice. The arcade room only has about 5 games, but for us that was good enough. Highly recommend.
This is the best Holiday Inn at which we've ever stayed. The decor was very tasteful and high end, but the price wasn't high. They had a great indoor pool and whirlpool, of which I took advantage. The breakfast was awesome, with a full array of sausage, eggs, gravey, biscuits..yummm! The hotel was easily accessed and right at the interstate and many restaurants. Also located near a hospital, which unfortunately I had to use the ER. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. They had jacuzzi tubs in each room, which was great! A full mini-kitchen was there for those who needed it. We really enjoyed our stay here.
The hotel and staff were very nice. If we ever go back to the area, we will stay there again.
This is the best Holiday Inn we've ever stayed in. Only less than 2 years old, very clean, all suites and the entire hotel is non-smoking. Staff is friendly and helpful. The outside perimeter is well-lit, so we always feel the car is safe. Beds are very comfy, nice soft linens and thick fluffy towels. Have stayed here alone and with the family several times. There are cheaper places to stay in Cape, but this is the only place we will stay in. Also very close to shopping, restaurants, the SEMO campus and Interstate 55.
This Holiday Inn Express was a wonderful place to stay for the amount we paid. The hotel staff was very friendly, the room was exceptionally clean and the beds were wonderful. After a long driving trip and one bad hotel experience it was notice to have our last hotel stay in such a nice place.
My clients and I always stay at this location when we come to Cape to play in a golf tournament ... wouldn't stay anywhere else.
The staff was very friendly. IT was easy check in and check out. The breakfast there is amazing. The room was perfect. Everything is close by. I would definitely stay there again.
The Cape Giradeau Hotel and staff were great and very clean. The food was very good too.
This Hotel was just a 'stop-through' on our way up to Wisconsin. Usually in cases like that, we get the cheapest place we can find because all we want is a bed and a shower. However, after staying here on the way up, we opted to stay here on the way back as well! It was wonderful! The beds were comfy, the pillows perfect, the place was clean and the room and bathroom were HUGE! Definitely worth the minor upgrade we did!\nThey have a comprehensive Continental breakfast bar in the mornings and a 'Happy Hour' of fresh baked cookies & milk from 7-8 in the evening. Can't beat that!\nThe staff was very friendly & accomodating. The pool was well kept & they offered a computer in the lobby for guests to use.\nAll in all, a great place to stay!
The staff was very friendly. The room was excellent. The cookies at night was a great bonus. The pillows were way too soft. Evening using 2 pillows was uncomfortable because you just sank into them. I'd definitely bring my own next time. We also had a small heard of elephants in the room above us that must not have slept all night. I didn't know it was possible to walk that loudly.
This hotel is nothing fancy, but was clean and in a safe location.
Rm#108- sink facuet handle needs to be replaced-hot water runs all the time. Sink drains slowly-partially plugged. It rained first night- could hear water dripping inside exterior wall - electrical outlet wet the next day.
It had a bed and a pillow and was clean!
it could hve been cleanier. the shower was not very clean
I was given a smoking instead of non smoking room. The lady at the desk was very reluctant to change our rooms. She said that her manager was very strict about it. We finally got changed after we promised the room was just like we found it.
Price Smelled, Cobwebs in room along ceiling.
The staff was friendly and the rooms were nice and convenient The building was kinda old but once you got in the room you didn't really notice. And the ice machine didn't work
The room and shower were adequate, but the experience was completely sullied by our treatment by the staff. I have never experienced such belligerency from individuals working in a service-oriented atmosphere. The customer support provided by the hotel
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
We would definitely choose this hotel again. We definitely loved having a microwave & refrigerator in our room. I can see why people who have to stay for a few weeks at a hotel pick this type of hotel.
Comfortable room, nice and clean Did not make beds after first night. No breakfast provided.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
One of the best hotels that I have ever stayed in.
The staff was very professional and went above and beyond to make sure I had a good stay. The pillows were a little uncomfortable and the location of the jacuzzi was not marked.
Friendly knowledgeable staff, clean rooms, comfy beds, spacious rooms and a lobby that would welcome any guest. Employees were outstanding, from hotel employee who checked us in to the lovely girl who checked us out. We will stay there again, ve Absolutely nothing! No complaints at all, they even have an indoor pool and a hot tub along with workout room and laundry! Except for no free hot breakfast, they are compatible with Pear Tree and others we have stayed at. 2 couples, separate rooms
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
I didn't like that I had to pay $--- and some change for a small room with 1 small bed n it, when the two other times I stayed there I got a bigger room and 2 beds for --- dollars and when I questioned y that was they told me even tho I reserved my.
Staff very professional and attentative.
Great location. Room was large with comfortable beds and a full size refrigerator. Wifi included with the room. I wish it offered free breakfast.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.

The hotel was clean, price was great, friendly staff, close to location I needed to be the next morning!
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Location and friendly staff Parking and being able to go in a door if you are in back of the hotel.
Late check out helped alot Housekeeping noise slamming doors against the flipped open night lock. Holy cow!
All good.
Nothing Yes,the t.v didn't work and I called at 11:30pm and was put on hold three times to ask for help then they finally moved me and I asked the night desk operator to speak to his manager about compensation because I drove 10 hours one way and no manager call
Nice hotel very friendly staff

Nick's Athletic Castaway
Posted: Jan 23 2013
Nick, financial analyst and co-founder of the financial news blog, Market Snacks, took a break from his New York City-paced life to enjoy the holidays down in Florida. A savvy packer, Nick was smart to take along his Salt Spray Castaway polo for a week of golf and tennis. Nick always managed to look the part as he paired his polo with a Smathers & Branson belt and pressed khakis for the golf course and whites for the tennis court. He added the sporty and cool Knockaround shades to block the strong sun. The signal flag tape trim inside the collar of the shirt refreshes this classic look with an unexpected detail, and the shirt's lightweight pima cotton makes it easy to wear on even the hottest, most active days.

Aralex: A lexical database for Modern Standard Arabic
Behavior Research Methods, 42(2), 481-487
Year of publication:
CBU number:
This paper is not available from the CBU. In this article, we present a new lexical database for Modern Standard Arabic: Aralex. Based on a contemporary text corpus of 40 million words, Aralex provides information about (1) the token frequencies of roots and word patterns, (2) the type frequency, or family size, of roots and word patterns, and (3) the frequency of bigrams, trigrams in orthographic forms, roots, and word patterns. Aralex will be a useful tool for studying the cognitive processing of Arabic through the selection of stimuli on the basis of precise frequency counts. Researchers can use it as a source of information on natural language processing, and it may serve an educational purpose by providing basic vocabulary lists. Aralex is distributed under a GNU-like license, allowing people to interrogate it freely online or to download it from www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk:8081/aralex .online/login.jsp.

Jazmin Santiago works in the Fairytale Brownies retail store in Phoenix. She helps our customers choose the best brownie gifts for their special occasion gifting needs. We asked her which of our delicious gourmet brownies was her favorite and who she'd most like to send brownies or cookie gifts to. Here are her answers:
Q: Why do you love working at Fairytale Brownies?
A: I know it sounds funny, but I love working for Fairytale Brownies because I get to make people happy. I love knowing that I was able to make someone's day by giving them a great Fairytale experience from the first step they take inside the store to the last step they take out our door. I like making an impression on all the customers because then they recommend friends, family, and neighbors. Giving great customer service is my goal each and every time.
Q: What do you do for fun?
A: I love hanging out with my family, especially my three nieces.
Q: Which of our fudgy chocolate brownies is your favorite?
A: My favorites have got to be the Toffee Crunch Brownie. I love the crunchiness of the toffee when it comes straight out of the refrigerator. Also, the Fairytale Bars are just so good. I can't resist the Cheesecake Swirl Bar, our sweet and buttery bars can't be beat.
Q: If you could send brownies to anyone, who would it be?
A: I would send our deep purple Regal Tower to Chris Brown because he's been one of my all-time favorite R&B singers since I discovered him years ago. I have all his albums and love all his songs. I really think he would appreciate all of the sweet treats inside!

Mr. Gedaljahu Ebert had a flourishing real estate business, when he was bankrupted fraudulently 17 years ago. Trying to understand the violence and torture that he had to endure as a former wealthy business man, turned him into a "forensic investigator" par excellence.
His case is one of four that we presented to the Secretary of State The Rt Hon Dr. Vincent Cable to point out the faulty administrative procedure: absence of scrutiny and lack of evidence.
The response we received on his behalf from the Insolvency Service is here.
The same four cases were put before the Lord Chancellor Kenneth Clarke MP to point out the abuse of HM seal.
The other three cases are
- Paulette Cooper RIP – victim of many white collar crimes, leading to bankruptcy without jurisdiction
- David Fabb – victim of accountancy firm DeLoittes
- Raymond Fox – victim of nuclear radiation and its cover-ups, including bankruptcy.
Paulette had asked her MP Stephen Phillips QC for help. He got this letter from Kenneth Clarke QC, while we are still waiting for our response, despite numerous follow-up phone calls.

Despite providing the assist for Daniel Sturridge's equaliser against Italy on Saturday night, Wayne Rooney struggled to influence the course of the game. Out in an unfamiliar role on the left, the Manchester United forward was on the periphery of proceedings in Manaus as Raheem Sterling shone in the central role.
In the wake of this performance, the pressure has increased on Roy Hodgson to drop the 28 year old for tonight's crunch encounter with Uruguay. After opening defeats for both countries, a defeat for either nation will almost certainly end their hopes of progressing into the knockout stages.
At the time of writing, there has been no indication to suggest that Hodgson will succumb to the overwhelming demands from many to "rest" Rooney. Bearing this in mind, here are FIVE reasons why the England manager should stand by the 28 year old and select him for such a crucial match.
Amidst all of the criticism that has been levelled at Rooney in the last week, the strength of his domestic campaign has been somewhat ignored. In a struggling United side, the 28 year old managed to rack up an impressive seventeen goals and ten assists in the Premier League.
In terms of Englishman, only Daniel Sturridge managed more league strikes than Rooney. On the basis of this form alone, the forward deserves a place in Hodgson's side.
Although he can sometimes be frustrating to watch, no one can doubt that Rooney is capable of producing moments of magic. That famous overhead kick against Manchester City and the volley against West Ham this season spring to mind.
Out of the twenty three at Hodgson's disposal, the 28 year old is the only player that can perhaps be labelled as a potential "gamechanger". With the stakes so high, the encounter with Uruguay will likely be a tense affair and one moment of genius maybe all that is needed to claim the spoils.
In a bold move commended by many, Hodgson selected a young and exciting squad for Brazil this summer. Alongside Steven Gerrard, Rooney is one of the senior members of a team that is certainly being picked with the future in mind.
Whilst the likes of Ross Barkley and Adam Lallana have all enjoyed impressive domestic campaigns, they don't possess a great deal of experience at this level. In such an important match, Hodgson should trust in Rooney rather than taking the risk of starting a relative international novice.
There can be no denying that since his performances as an 18 year old at Euro 2004, Rooney has failed to deliver for his country in any subsequent tournament. But at the same time, the 28 year old is currently England's FIFTH all-time top scorer and he has the most goals in competitive fixtures for his country.
With 39 goals in 93 appearances, the forward is only behind Sir Bobby Charlton, Gary Lineker, Jimmy Greaves and Michael Owen in the illustrious list. So many of England's players have failed to perform at recent tournaments and it would be wrong for Hodgson to drop Rooney on this account when his record otherwise reads so impressively.
Much feared before the tournament kicked off, Uruguay's shock opening defeat to Costa Rica revealed their defensive weakness. Whilst England should still be concerned by the potential front trio of Edinson Cavani, Diego Forlan and Luis Suarez, they should fancy their chances against a very vulnerable backline.
Unfortunately for England though, Diego Lugano, the 33 year old released by West Brom, has been ruled out of tonight's contest.
Worrying injury news for England. Diego Lugano's out of Thursday's game.
— Daniel Storey (@danielstorey85) June 18, 2014
Even with Rooney's struggles on Saturday, the Three Lions' attack still looked menacing. Tonight's encounter with the South Americans should provide the 28 year old with the perfect opportunity to break his World Cup duck.

Woman who broke color barrier visits Rosa Parks
Author: Tammy L. Lane • First Posted: Monday, March 01, 2010
Children at Rosa Parks Elementary, which is named for a civil rights icon, heard from what one teacher called "living history" when Helen Caise Wade shared her own story.
Wade was the first African-American to attend a white public school in Fayette County when she took a summer school class at Lafayette High School in 1955.
"I did not realize … I had no clue I was making history," she told fourth- and fifth-graders gathered in the gym Feb. 26. "I just thought I was doing what I had a right to do."
Jennifer Jones, a Rosa Parks teacher, has known Wade all her life. Wade, who went to school with Jones' mother, is now a retired teacher living in Cleveland, Ohio. When Jones heard she was in Lexington to speak at a church, she asked Wade to stop by the school, too.
With 30 years of classroom experience, Wade had no trouble holding the kids' attention as she explained the realities of a segregated society during her youth. She talked about how most blacks lived in a certain part of town and how students didn't mix because they had separate schools.
"Our books may have been outdated, but our teaching was not," Wade said. "We were taught to believe in ourselves and that we could be whatever our imaginations led us to be."
She noted how she heard on the radio about the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court case "Brown vs. Board of Education" and came to respect Thurgood Marshall, the attorney who represented the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
"I was 15, but I knew the importance of what was happening," Wade said.
At the time, she was attending Douglass High School, one of Lexington's two all-black high schools. Always a history buff, she wanted to take an American History course offered in summer school – at all-white Lafayette.
Fearing for her safety, several uncles and her grandfather escorted her to class for a while. But Wade said nothing much happened.
"It was not a bad experience because nobody really mistreated me," she said. "They weren't mean to me. They just ignored me."
One classmate, a Jewish girl, did befriend her, and Wade's teacher was supportive, along with her family, of course. However, the personal fallout was far-reaching.
"I had doubts when my parents lost everything. That's when it hurt," Wade recalled, describing how her father could no longer find work because of the controversy. "The roof over my head was the only thing they were able to salvage."
After that summer, Wade returned to Douglass High and the next year graduated at the top of her class. She later earned her degree at Kentucky State University. Over time, she has come to realize the significance of her actions back in 1955.
"I knew I had the right to go to any school, but I knew it would take time. You cannot pass a law to change a person's heart. I knew they'd have to get to know me and appreciate me as a person," Wade said. "I was the catalyst that started the change. … I was just an instrument to start something that needed to be done."
As she looked around the gym at Rosa Parks Elementary, she marveled at the rich diversity of races and cultures all living as neighbors and growing up together.
"You are blessed beyond measure," she told the children, reminding them several times: "It's not the color that makes the person. It's the character."

Hi, I'm REALLY new to actually modifying and owning a car, but not so much to the tuning scene, especially Subaru. There is a lot I still dont understand though, so I figured a forum like this could help me out exponentially in modifying my car.
I'm only 5 grand from having enough to buy a decent 04 Impreza WRX, so I'll have it fairly soon and I figured as much knowledge I have going into this, the better prepared I'll be ^^.
I DO have a few questions, but I've looked at the subforums list and dont really know where to put them still, so if its alright, I'll post em here and if you can tell me where future questions like these go, I'd appreciate it.
1) I read that the current Impreza WRX and STis have AVCS in for both intake and exhaust and that it can be modified to eliminate turbo lag. I lost the article and cant test what I remember, so I was wondering if someone has done this and what they did and if this is worth the extra 25 grand (I have 12 at the moment)for the new STi. Or at least an engine swap.
2) I was also wondering about the reliability of these online aftermarket dealers, as there are so many and none seem totally trustworthy. If any of you know some good dealers online, I'd appreciate it greatly if you could post the URLs to the sites for me. Second part: Are actual shops better for me to aquire parts than online stores? I live nowhere near the hubs of the tuning culture, so I'm asking.
3)What are good tuning shops? I know shops like Prodrive and Cosworth are the elite, but I need something a little less costly. I've read about JUN and Tomei, but I dont see many Subie enthusiasts loaded down with their parts. Are they just as expensive as Cosworth and Prodrive? If they are, can you give me some advice on others?
These are the more difficult questions I've got. I've got MANY other driving related questions, but these are more immeadiate. Advance thanks for any answers I get.

!?: How to show a variable product on a page!?
I have been using WooCommerce for a couple of weeks now, both with single products and with variable products (3 variations).
Now I want to show only one of the variations on a page and can't find out how to do it!?
I have tried to use the shortcode for the Product ID in the variation and I have also tried to use the shortcode for a SKU I set to the specific variation but I only get a blank page.
Can someone help me out?
Thanks in advance!

The surrender tackle threatens to reach epidemic proportions in the NRL, and this is largely in response to the new rule prohibiting hands on the ball in the tackle.
The practice of ball carriers diving at the legs of tacklers - a voluntary tackle - is designed to produce a fast play-the-ball and capitalise on momentum gained against a retreating, disordered defence. It was in widespread use by some clubs from 1999 to 2005, and referees responded to it by allowing tacklers to roll the ball carrier on his back, punishing his attempt at a fast play-the-ball with a slow one.
Also called the ''bumper bar'' tackle, it is against the very nature of rugby league as a collision or combat sport.
We saw little evidence of it in the first State of Origin match, mainly because the selected players pride themselves on the full-blooded clash between the attack and the defence. This year, the submit tackle has made a comeback because of the hands-on-the-ball-in-the-tackle rule. Referees boss Daniel Anderson signalled faster rucks even before the season began with a rule prohibiting hands on the ball while the attacking player is trying to rise to his feet to play the ball.
Sports Data reports 169 penalties this season for hands in the play-the-ball, compared with 94 at the same point last year. It is a good rule, as it stands, so to speak. An attacking player, seeking to play the ball quickly but restricted by defenders' hands on the ball, is likely to juggle it, lose possession and be punished for what is called ''a loose carry''.
Alternatively, if he goes into the tackle with his hands bound vice-like around the ball, waiting for defenders to release their grip, it inevitably slows down the speed at which he can play it.
However, this year, ball carriers are exploiting the new rule.
By diving at the legs of defenders, the ball carrier knows the tackler must risk hands on the ball if he tries to slow down the ruck. He must reach down to pull the ball carrier up by his arms and shoulders and dance with him a little while he buys time for the defence but risks handling the ball and being penalised.
Surrender tackles, if left unchecked, could result in frustration, such as the ''crusher tackle'', where the defender jumps on the back of the ball carrier, forcing his head and neck down on the ball. The Roosters and Souths are major exponents of the surrender tackle, with Canberra and Penrith also guilty of it.
It is most evident when Souths forwards run the ball against opposition outside backs. Should it continue unchecked, expect all NRL teams to adopt this tackle. They go largely unnoticed and unpunished week after week. When surrender tackles were rare, they were obvious, and referees responded by deeming it a dominant tackle and allowing defenders to slow down the play-the-ball.
But now, with it becoming commonplace, referees are seemingly blind to this tackle. There are occasions when it is justified. A winger or fullback, carrying the ball back from a kick can run dangerously close to the sideline, and is entitled to fall to his knees before the tackle to avoid being dragged over the sideline.
Another of Anderson's initiatives in his campaign for faster rucks was to demand defenders separate themselves from the tackled player in two stages.
If there are three in a tackle and one defender moves away, it is obligatory for the remaining two to simultaneously release themselves. Given the tangle of bodies in tackles, this was never practicable. Asked whether the rule had ''gone out the window'', one NRL coach said, ''It never came through the door.''
Sports Data statistics demonstrate that the number of three-man tackles has increased this season.

Reproducibility of isokinetic leg strength and endurance characteristics of adult men and women

Day-to-day variability and single-measurement reliability of selected isokinetic knee extension-flexion strength and endurance indices were assessed in 10 adult men and 8 adult women. On three occasions separated by at least 5 days, the subjects completed 4 reciprocal maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) at different angular velocities (1.05 rad · s−1 and 3.14 rad · s−1). The men also completed a muscular endurance test consisting of 30 reciprocal, MVC at 3.14 rad ·−1. Coefficient of variation, intra-class correlation coefficient and standard error of single-measurement scores support the continued use of gravity corrected peak torque (PT) and average peak torque (APT) as indices of isokinetic leg strength. Similarly, gravity corrected APT and total work should be the recommended indices of isokinetic leg muscular endurance in men. The results suggest that these isokinetic indices must be assessed using multiple day-to-day trial protocols adequately to describe performance capacity. Composite indices such as the ratio of Knee flexion to extension PT and fatigue measurements offer considerably reduced reliability and a greater potential for misinterpretation. The reliability of knee extension indices generally exceeds that of flexion indices. Similar variability and reproducibility of responses were observed between men and women and between reciprocal contractions performed at angular velocities of 1.05 rad · s−1 and 3.14 rad · s−1.

Iron Man 2
Two More Positive Reviews for
Iron Man 2
Two positive reviews that I found via rottentomatoes.com.
Filed Under: "
Iron Man 2
The first review is from a guy named Sam Bathe, who reviewed Iron Man 2 on the site, www.fanthefire.com
>>The eagerly anticipated follow up to one of the most successful, and, out of nowhere at the time of release, most hyped comic book movies ever made, Iron Man 2 is more of the same, and a happy development of the formula that worked so well the first time around.
Picking where Iron Man left off, with Tony Stark (Downey Jr.) revealing to the public that he is the man behind the superhero mask, the government and press put him under great pressure to share his technology with the military for the good of America. But concerned it could fall into the wrong hands, Stark remains undeterred that he, and only he, should put on the Iron Man suit. Claiming the rest of the world is years behind in developing similar, armoured weaponry, Stark's self-branded to privatise world peace is an unabashed success; that is until his latest foe reveals himself.
Sneaking into an illustrious event attended by Stark at Monaco street raceway, Ivan Venko (Rourke), with his own vendetta against our superhero, reveals a suit of his own and attacks the billionaire inventor when he least expects it. Ultimately failing in killing of Stark, Venko does though prove a weakness in Iron Man's seemingly impenetrable armour, and with the vultures in government already circling, when Venko is provided with an even greater pool of resources, it seems Stark once again, will be left as the only man that can save the day.
While in many of the comic books, Starks' main problem is a lack of self-control and struggle to deal with a drinking problem, it was rumoured his alcohol abuse would make an appearance here. Instead, however, inner turmoil comes from the very device that is keeping him alive. With shrapnel in his blood stream, in Iron Man's first outing, Stark builds an electromagnet and miniature arc reactor to stop the deadly substances reaching his heart, only powered toxic element itself, the device is slowly killing him, so aside from saving the world, Stark must also engineer a new core to save his life.
While the original was a great deal of fun, being the first in the series it was always going to be held back by the obligatory 'origin story' plot points. With the audience now familiar with each of the central roles, director Jon Favreau and screenwriter Justin Theroux were able to craft a film with much greater depth, and a much more rounded and interesting experience; at least as far as you can with a lightweight comic book action movie. While it would always be a pleasure to join Iron Man for the ride, it's captivating to see how side characters intermingle with the central narrative, providing mini sub-stories that keep things ticking along perfectly.
While Downey Jr. is again great at Tony Stark/Iron Man, to Favreau's credit, the film isn't played out as the Stark show. Central prominence is of course given to the suited hero, and most of the plot developments either work around him, if not involving Stark directly, but it feels like everyone else in the film is of equal importance too. Across the board the talent is cast perfectly and provides a widespread charisma that makes it tough to take your eyes of the screen.
As Pepper Potts, Stark's personal assistant, Gwyneth Paltrow shares wonderful chemistry with Downey Jr., Scarlett Jonahsson, playing a new recruit at Stark Industries, is great in the role, and with more revealed about her character than first meets the eye, it's no surprise spin-offs for her are already being talked about. Mickey Rourke, no doubt cast after becoming man-of-the-moment around the time of his Oscar nomination last year, is a devilishly calculated villain, simmering beneath the surface and with the feeling you never really know what he might be capable of, suits the film perfectly.
Though we shouldn't be surprised given the acting talents displayed in his many roles to date, it is Sam Rockwell, however, that almost steals the show. As Justin Hammer, a rival industrialist to Stark's global weapons domination, and one of the men at the centre of the government's demand for Stark to hand over his Iron Man technology, Rockwell bring his usual edgy quirks, at times providing a little comic relief, and elsewhere revealing a man on the edge. Rockwell is something of a revelation and I'd be delighted to see more of him as Hammer in more films within the Marvel universe.
While the first Iron Man film was criticised for turning into a metal-on-metal fight for the entire final act, here the action sequences are again well played out but used more effectively, and directed with greater tension and style than in any of Favreau's previous work. The excitement and expanse of the finale is expected, but in close quarters, a corridor fight sequence and attack on the Monaco streets reveal a great understanding of how to effectively implement action.
Intertwining elements that again point to Paramount/Marvel's Avengers plan, the superhero super-group, Iron Man is now primed for the 2012 film, with introductions to Thor and Captain America due next year.
Iron Man 2 might not have the power or tone of the recent Batman film, but that's not what the filmmakers are after, and crafting thrill ride that's so easy and accessible to take in, it'll be tough to find a more fun way to spend a couple of hours.<<
---He gave the movie 4 out of 5 Stars---
The second review is from www.hitfix.com, and was written buy a guy named Drew McWeeny.
>>Let's call this one the victory lap.
"Iron Man" was no guaranteed hit before the weekend it opened. There were people predicting failure for that film even after it opened, even after it started to turn into a word-of-mouth-must-see, not just a box-office success but a genuinely loved pop culture moment. The first movie's got its weak points, but it also has a ridiculous energy to it, and I unabashedly loved it when I reviewed it for Ain't It Cool.
"Iron Man 2" is, in every possible way, issue two of a comic book. It doesn't have to spend time setting up the origin of the character, and it doesn't feel the need to resolve every single story thread introduced in this one film. There's a sense that everyone's settling into this series and thinking big. It is just as confident as the first film, and incredibly aggressive in the way it handles story and characterization. The pre-title sequence picks up mere seconds after the ending of the first film, and introduces Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke), an embittered Russian with family ties that make Tony Stark a perfect target for his rage. By the time the main title appears onscreen, everything's already in motion, and then we're right into the Stark Expo, where Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) takes the stage.
Do you remember on shows like "Happy Days" when the fan favorite character like Fonzie would make their first entrance and the audience would go nuts for so long that the actor would have to stop and wait for a moment and acknowledge all the applause? Well, that's the first ten minutes or so of this film after that opening title, as we're dropped into the daily life of Tony Stark, Public Superhero. He's at odds with the US Government, who want the suit, and he's at odds with Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell), another weapons manufacturer who hates that Stark is everything Hammer wants to be. He's at odds with Pepper Potts (Gwenyth Paltrow), who is desperately trying to hold his company together even as his attention is being pulled in a thousand different directions. And he's at odds with his own body, which is failing him as the chest implant that powers him and that powers the suit slowly fails, poisoning him even as it keeps him alive. This is not a movie in which there's only single threat to Tony Stark or to the world, but in which he faces almost constant threats, and in which he's never given a moment to relax.
Jon Favreau has gotten even better this time out at building his action sequences, and he stages a few showstoppers this time. Once Ivan Vanko finally builds his prototype Whiplash suit and debuts it during a Monaco street race, the stakes start to escalate for Tony quickly. It's a relentlessly paced film, and the action scenes aren't just one style over and over. I actually think one of the best in the film takes place between Iron Man and Col. James Rhodes (Don Cheadle), who shows up at Tony's birthday party only to find him drunk and dangerous, using the suit to show off. Rhodey has no choice but to suit up himself and stop Tony, and what starts as an intervention with armor turns into a brutal encounter in which long-simmering resentments suddenly blow up. It's a perfect example of the way this film manages to keep even the most outsized action scenes focused on character, with plenty of small, quirky flourishes.
The first "Iron Man" ended with a post-credits scene involving the introduction of Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and a quick mention of "The Avengers," and since then, there has been a lot of speculation and conversation about Marvel's game plan of eventually building one giant movie featuring Iron Man, Captain America, the Hulk, and Thor. The building blocks have never been more apparent than they are here, with Fury playing an actual role in the film and not just dropped into the post-credits sting. His organization SHIELD also plays a greatly increased role this time, and there are clues dropped to the role that Tony's father Howard (played briefly by Kevin Slattery, famed for his work in "Mad Men") had in founding SHIELD decades earlier. Both Captain America and Thor are overtly referenced in this film, and my guess is that we're going to see these references work directly into the films that Marvel has in the works for next summer. It's a fascinating gamble, and I talked to people after the film who were just annoyed by the whole thing, but I think it's like watching part of a big, crazy mini-series. I don't feel cheated at all by these clues. "Iron Man 2" works as a complete film without any of these "Avengers"-oriented moments, but they add to the overall texture of the piece in some really rewarding ways. One of the questions fans have had about the film is what role Natalie Rushman aka The Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) would play in the film, and how she'd play into the larger continuity. I think it's a very smart, simple use of the character, and I'll wager we see her show up in several other movies in the Marvel universe in the next few years.
Besides... Scar-Jo in IMAX? Pretty much a Christmas gift. Ka-pow.
Don Cheadle's work here demonstrates a much better chemistry with Robert Downey Jr. than Terrence Howard did as Rhodes in the original, so I'm guessing this will be a casting switch that fans barely notice. Maybe it's because Rhodes has a better part this time, but everyone in the film registers with strong work. Sam Rockwell plays Justin Hammer as the funhouse mirror image of Tony Stark, and he plays more scenes with Mickey Rourke as Vanko than anyone else. The two of them give off a real air of danger, and they make an imposing threat to hang the film on. Even Clark Gregg, returning as Agent Coulson from the first film, has a few choice moments, which is good since we're going to see him in "Thor" next year. Paltrow and Downey come off as the Nick and Nora Charles of the Marvel universe with their lightning fast volleys of frustration shot through with affection, and there's an actual arc to their relationship here, etched in subtle but effective exchanges.
Films like this often come down to moments... are there moments in this movie I want to see again immediately? Yes. In fact, I'm leaving town this morning to do exactly that... see it again. And I'm taking my wife with me, because the first film sort of blew her mind. She didn't realize she (Robertdowneyjr) liked Iron Man so much as (Robertdowneyjr) a character, and it was so much fun (Robertodowneyjr) for her to watch. Ahem. I get it. That's what they're selling. That's the show. Him in the suit and him out of the suit is equally compelling to me in this film. I like Stark. I get him. He's tapdancing. He's living a certain version of himself in public. There's a POV sequence here (including a great cameo) that gives you an idea of what it's like in the helmet... only it's not the Iron Man helmet... it's the Tony Stark helmet. And more than that, it's the Robert Downey Jr. helmet. It's him that you're taking the ride with. And he doesn't get to hide behind a Bruce Wayne persona. When Tony Stark makes a public ass of himself, he does property damage because of his suit, and everyone knows it's him. They're nowhere near "Demon In A Bottle" here, but they certainly make Tony stupid and human and genuine.
ILM's work is more impressive this time out, precisely because it's hard to tell where the real suit stops and the CG suit begins, and Matthew Libatique's cinematography is richer, more vibrant. I have the same complaint about the score this time that I had about the first film... I still don't think there's an "Iron Man" theme that works. It's sound and fury and almost entirely forgettable. Still, if my one big complaint about the film is that I don't care for the score, that's a pretty good sign. I thought even without the shock of the new on its side, "Iron Man 2" works as a blast of pure confidence and charisma, absolutely effective, and I expect audiences are going to devour the film when it reaches theaters May 7th.<<

Tlapallite H6(Ca,Pb)2(Cu,Zn)3SO4(TeO3)4TeO6, a multi-anion mineral: A Raman spectroscopic study
Frost, Ray L. (2009) Tlapallite H6(Ca,Pb)2(Cu,Zn)3SO4(TeO3)4TeO6, a multi-anion mineral: A Raman spectroscopic study. Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy, 72(4), pp. 903-906.
|Accepted Version (PDF 270kB)
Tellurates may be subdivided according to formula and structure. There are three types of tellurate minerals: type (a) (AB)m(TeO4)pZq, type (b) (AB)m(TeO6).xH2O and type (c), compound tellurates in which a second anion is involved. Tlapallite, a multi anion mineral containing both tellurate and tellurite units, as well as sulphate, is an example of type (a). Tellurates are rare minerals as the tellurate ion is easily reduced to the tellurite ion. Raman bands at 691, 708, 764 and 796 cm-1 are attributed to (TeO6)2- and (TeO3)2- stretching bands. The intense sharp Raman band at 973 cm-1 is assigned to the ν1 (SO4)2- symmetric stretching mode, whilst the two bands at 1062 and 1104 cm-1 are assigned to the ν3 (SO4)2- antisymmetric stretching mode. The spectral region 100 to 600 cm-1 displays the bands which are attributable to the (SO4)2, (TeO3)2- and (TeO6)4- bending modes. Some evidence from very low intensity Raman bands in the 2800 to 3600 cm-1 region provides evidence of proton-tellurate/tellurite anion interactions.

Share And Share OnlineRobert D. Hof
No sooner had Hewlett-Packard Co.'s OmniShare, an interactive document-conferencing product, won a gold design award than bad news came. Pascal Baudot, the Grenoble, France-based designer, got a call from HP headquarters: After eight months on the market, the machine would be discontinued on June 1. The reason? Poor sales. OmniShare's price tag--$1,500 after steep discounts--apparently turned off customers. It was an example of price defeating design excellence.
Current alternatives to the problem of hashing over documents with far-flung clients are pretty clunky. You can try to describe changes over the phone or trade an endless stream of faxes. Personal-computer software programs such as Intel ProShare and Lotus Notes allow documents to be shared on each person's screen, but they can be clumsy and can require a special phone line.
By contrast, OmniShare makes sharing documents a snap. The machine hooks up between a phone and a phone line. Two colleagues thousands of miles apart use pen pointers to bring up files loaded from a fax or PC, move them around, and annotate them. They can see each other's changes instantly.
When HP started the OmniShare project in 1992, research indicated that many architects, lawyers, and other traveling pros didn't use PCs. That has changed. Says analyst Jeffrey Henning of market watcher BIS Strategic Decisions: "The future of document conferencing is software." Even without the OmniShare hardware, HP plans to be there. OmniShare's ideas will live on in future PC software, HP says. That may not win a design award, but it might win more customers.

The cleaners, sanitizers and preservatives used in mead making are not the same thing. Cleaners may leave your equipment bright and clean but not sanitary enough for fermented beverage production. Some sanitizers also work as preservatives; but not all preservatives will sanitize. There is also a difference between sanitizing and sterilizing. What most home brewers aim for is sanitation; keeping the population of spoilage organisms as low as possible. Sterilization, the process of removing all living microorganisms in something in order to make it incapable of causing infection, is very hard to achieve. A good rule of thumb is this, if you can keep your equipment looking, smelling, and feeling clean at all times you'll have fewer problems keeping everything sanitized. Mead makers must clean all equipment every time it is used to prevent infection of the must.

Police chief to make changes following downtown violence
Indianapolis Metropolitan police Sunday are proposing a crackdown on teens making trouble near Circle Center Mall.
The response comes after shots were fire Saturday night in downtown Indianapolis.
Fortunately, no one was hurt when someone opened fire at Capitol and Maryland.
Police blocked nearby roads and arrested a juvenile on Capitol Avenue.
Investigators also recovered a gun at the scene of the incident that started around 7:45 p.m. during a busy night downtown.
Although no one was hurt. The Chief of Police, Rick Hite, says something needs to be done, to prevent more violence.
"So what we are doing is targeting those young people who don't get it and making it very clear to them that we are the adults in the room. We welcome you downtown and to have a good time but there has to be structure and we are encouraging the mall to participate in that and have structured activities for the young people," Hite told Eyewitness News Sunday afternoon.
Eyewitness News will have more of our conversation with the Chief and his plan to prevent violence Sunday night after the Pro Bowl.

Cassandra L.wrote a review of The North Face Shellista Lace Boot - Women's on March 5, 2013
My first priority in looking for a boot - was something that was cute and fashionable. The second (and probably the most important for others) was something that would protect my feet in snow/slush/freeze temperatures!
When the boots arrived ( I got the black ones) I was very impressed with how they looked! I can easily slip them on over my jeggings/leggings and wear them around on the weekends while I'm running errands or heading out to lunch. They are perfect for some extra warmth and if it was a little wet outside way better than my hooker boots or Uggs. The biggest test came when we had multiple snow storms. I live in Wisconsin so that means a lot of snow! I have worn them several times now and have had no issues. My feet have never got wet or cold and I only had on 1 pair of socks.
These boots are perfect! True to size, fashionable, and keep my feet protected.

Obama to host Romney at White House tomorrow
President Barack Obama will host former Republican candidate Mitt Romney for a private lunch at the White House tomorrow, their first meeting since Obama defeated him in this month's presidential election.
The encounter follows Obama's promise, in the aftermath of the November 6 election, to consult the former Massachusetts governor before the end of the year. It also comes amid Obama's efforts to work out with congressional leaders a way to avoid a looming "fiscal cliff" that could push the US economy back into recession.
"Governor Romney will have a private lunch at the White House with President Obama in the private dining room," the White House said of the meeting, which will be closed to the media. "It will be the first opportunity they have had to visit since the election."

Robert Shapiro was expected to represent the 'Mean Girls' star today in court ahead of her scheduled prison term, but has now left the job for unknown reasons.
The lawyer - who formerly represented O.J. Simpson - revealed last week he would only represent the 24-year-old actress if she agreed to certain conditions.
He said in an official statement: "I have agreed to represent Ms. Lohan on the condition she complies with all of the terms of her probation, including a requirement of jail time that was imposed by Judge Marsha Revel."
Lindsay then entered sober living facility Pickford Lofts, which was founded by Shapiro, which she has now moved out of ahead of her jail stay.
Shapiro told Judge Marsha Revel in her chambers he was no longer representing her yesterday.
Meanwhile, Lindsay has shown her humorous side ahead of her prison sentence, revealing her unfamiliarity with the term "bookings".
Writing on twitter, she said: "the only "bookings" that i'm familiar with are Disney Films, never thought that i'd be "booking" into Jail... eeeks (sic)"
Lindsay has to surrender to a Beverley Hills court at later today.

Fur Industry Hunts for Suspicious Car in Massive Fur Farm Campaign
Fur Industry Hunts for Suspicious Car in Massive Fur Farm Campaign
New Fur Commission Bulletin Declares Hunt for Suspicious Vehicle
Peter Young
October 13, 2013
In a bulletin issued yesterday, the Fur Commission USA claims to have identified a vehicle of interest in the recent wave of mink releases. I have redacted all identifying information from the bulletin, which is posted below. The bulletin does not identify why the car is considered to be of interest, but does give the license plate number, make and model of the car, and the genders of its occupants. The car was last seen in Glasgow Montana, and "may be headed west."
After Frontline post, Fur Commission increases reward.
Also of note, within hours of an article on this site which pointed out that the Fur Commission's reward for captured fur farm raiders has dropped 95% since 2008, they came back and announced that the reward has been raised.
Fur industry getting desperate
As a symptom of just how scared the industry is over the surge in animal liberations, the Fur Commission attempted to post their reward offer on anarchist and Indymedia sites; presumably to bait an audience they believe might have information about the releases. Again, a feeble gesture given ALF protocol (and that of all wise criminals) that no one not directly involved in an action should know about the action.
The bulletin
"Fur Commission USA
FCUSA Security Alert – Reward increased, more…
October 11, 2013
Fur Commission USA has increased the reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible in the recent farm raids. We are now offering, with generous support from American Legend and NAFA, an award of up to $50,000. A hotline is in place at [redacted] and is monitored hourly.
New information that we have obtained permission to release, has identified the "[redacted] of interest" as a [redacted], with a back window sticker that says "[redacted]". The license plate is [redacted]. It was last seen in Glasgow MT yesterday and may be heading west. Border agents have been alerted, as have US and CAN law enforcement officers. The suspects are [redacted]. If anyone sees this vehicle call your local Sheriff's or Constable's office and the FBI/RCMP immediately.

[Press Office note: Imprisoned in cages for life, or mercilessly trapped with painful leghold traps in the wild, fur-bearing animals killed to make unnecessary fashion statements are forced to endure intensive confinement, compared to the miles of territory these still-wild animals would enjoy in their natural state. The natural instincts of these captive animals are completely frustrated; self-mutilation, sickness, infection, poor sanitation and the sheer stress of confinement lead animals in captivity to premature death. When they survive, animals of sufficient size are killed by anal electrocution or gassing, then skinned. In addition to liberating the wild animals destined for a certain, painful and agonizing death, another goal of liberationists is to cause economic damage to fur retailers and farms; dozens of stores and fur farming operations have seen economic ruin since "Operation Bite Back" began by the Animal Liberation Front in the 1990s.
The Animal Liberation Front utilizes economic sabotage in addition to the direct liberation of animals from conditions of abuse and imprisonment to halt needless animal suffering. By making it more expensive to trade in the lives of innocent, sentient beings, the ALF maintain the atrocities against our brothers and sisters are likely to occur in smaller numbers; their goal is to abolish the exploitation, imprisonment, torture and killing of innocent, non-human animals. A copy of the Final Nail, a listing of known fur farms in North America, is available on the Press Office website at http://www.animalliberationpressoffice.org]

Fat pads *above* eyelids
- sparkys nemesis
- Hicksville, NY
- Last updated: 6 years ago
What's the best way, short of surgery, to get rid of the fat pads **above** the eyelid, in the corners toward the nose? I heard this may be due to high cholesterol, which I take meds for. I've heard that massaging the area seems to disperse it...but really, nothing has helped. Any ideas?
