Our roadways at critical point
Our roadways at critical point
The Westerly Town Council has approved the town budget and once again the tax rate will rise just minimally. For a number of years there was no increase, an accomplishment that had to be doubly challenging based on the depths of the economy and increases in foreclosures and families struggling to pay taxes through layoffs, wage cuts, or stagnant salaries amid rising costs.
The slight increase proposed by the Board of Finance was made slightly higher at the 11th hour when the council on Wednesday added another $240,249 after two public hearings and just prior to accepting the spending plan. A portion of that last minute addition in spending was $75,000 for routine road repair in the operating budget, which brings that line item up to $500,000.
We doubt that we could find more than a handful of taxpayers who would oppose this addition. More likely we're confident we could find many, many taxpayers willing to devote more of their money to this account.
In what is hardly a revelation or breaking news, we find it necessary to describe Westerly roads as nothing short of embarrassing. Dangerous and costly for drivers also come to mind.
Roadwork is expensive and if the funds aren't there the road crew can't do much about it.
Main Street has been a horror show for well over a year and has gotten significantly worse after this brutal winter. It makes for a rather uninviting gateway to town, and the Canal Street-Industrial Drive area remains something akin to a war zone.
Meanwhile the debacle that is Beach Street is a shared problem between the state, National Grid and the town. Soon after the long-awaited repaving project to repair Beach Street — after it had degenerated into something just above a rutted dirt road — the much-traveled roadway was dug up again by the utility company to locate and repair gas leaks. That project spread like a cancer farther and farther down Beach Street and now we're back to a main artery that is one level above a rutted dirt road. The National Grid experience should serve as a teaching moment for all concerned in the form of better coordination for the replacement of ancient utility lines whenever a roadway is scheduled to undergo repaving.
The council talked Wednesday about another road bond — the town is in the midst of major projects funded by bonds approved in the recent past — instead of adding to the town's operating budget, but that conversation should have started long ago. It's gotten so bad that the council really needs to boost the issue of routine road maintenance to the top of the priority list. We would be shocked if there was not broad support for a significant road maintenance fund, well above the $500,000 allotted in the budget. The condition of our roads affects everyone from inexperienced teen drivers to the elderly. The state of many of our roads poses a danger and it is taking a toll on our cars, our ambulances, fire trucks and police cruisers. As for bikers, pedal powered and motorized, their risks are sure to be multiplied this season.

In this 4-minute "How To" video, you learn to make a diffuser blend that I think you'll love!
The blend combines essential oils of Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis ct. camphor), Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) and distilled Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) to create an uplifting, energizing blend for the mornings or that afternoon slump.
Click here to watch the video!
The video also includes a discount code for any Puzhen diffuser—an exclusive deal for Aromahead!
Along with the blend in the video, I want to share another favorite diffuser blend of mine right here:
Conifer and Citrus Heaven
20 drops Siberian Fir (Abies sibirica)
25 drops Pinon Pine (Pinus edulis)
10 drops Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis)
15 drops Makrut Lime (Citrus hystrix)
Add all the drops to a small 5 ml orifice reducer bottle. This becomes your "stock" bottle, and you can add 10-15 drops of this blend to your diffuser. If you don't have a diffuser, you can just add the oils to a small bowl of steamy hot water! If you love the blend, go ahead and make a larger amount (just use a 15 ml bottle and double or triple the drops).
Do you have a favorite diffuser recipe to share? If you're reading this post from the Aromahead blog, please add your blend to the comment section. Thanks!

Faith Hill trounces Britney and Eminem
US country singer Faith Hill has swept the American Music Awards, winning three honours and beating Britney Spears and Eminem, who left empty handed.
Hill won favourite female artist for in both the pop/rock and country categories, as well as favourite album for her latest release Breathe.
The rest of the field included her husband country singer Tim McGraw, rapper Dr Dre and R&B siren Toni Braxton.
Winners were determined by a poll of about 20,000 American record buyers, with nominees compiled from retail sales and radio airplay data.
Hill, who had been nominated for four awards, was prevented from making a clean sweep by an absent Celine Dion, who won the favourite adult contemporary artist category.
But she was still delighted with her success, telling the audience at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Monday night: "Wow - this is something else.
"I love to sing, I really do. Thank you for giving me the opportunity night after night."
She added that after her husband previous beat her a few years ago as favourite new country artist it was "payback - payback is hell".
Previous recipients include Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Irving Berlin, Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, her brother Michael and Whitney Houston.
Rock band Creed, who beat Spears for the best album nod, also won favourite alternative artist.
And Dr Dre, who has five Grammy nominations, was named rap/hip-hop artist of the year.
Female trio Destiny's Child were voted favourite band in the soul/rhythm and blues category, as was Donnell Jones for favourite new artist.
Another recipient of a new artist award was 12-year-old Billy Gilman, who topped the country category.
And N Sync were voted the internet fans' favourite artist, with Star Trek star William Shatner presenting their trophy.
"It kinda verifies that we're doing something right," singer Steven Tyler said.
Other performers included Braxton, Spears and Gilman, glam rock band Marilyn Manson, and singer-actress Jennifer Lopez.

Implied Spot Rates as Predictors of Currency Returns: A Note
- Abstract
- Full Text PDF
- Author(s): DAVID R. PETERSON, ALAN L. TUCKER
- Published: Apr 30, 2012
- Pages: 247-258
- DOI: 10.1111/j.1540-6261.1988.tb02600.x
Currency call option transactions data and the Black‐Scholes option pricing model, as modified by Merton for continuous dividends and as adapted to currency options by Biger and Hull and by Garman and Kohlhagen, are used to imply spot foreign exchange rates. The proportional deviation between implied and simultaneously observed spot rates is found to be a direct and statistically significant determinant of subsequent returns on foreign currency holdings after controlling for interest rate differentials. Further, an ex ante trading rule reveals that the additional information contained in implied rates often is sufficient to generate significant economic profits.

Glen,

 Thanks for volunteering. I agree with you that we should fix this but I did not want to postpone a release candidate for a warning. This particular warning only makes it so certain optimizations cannot be applied to the code. I started to look at a solution and did not see a quick fix. Like you I am busy with other priorities.

 If you get time to fix this please do.

 For now I propose that we do not postpone the release of 2.5.8 based on this warning.

I didn't volunteer :) Ā What I meant was that I would except that I don't think I would get to it any time soon, so I won't commit to anything right now.

actually, the warning doesn't mean that certain optimizations wont' be done.Ā It means the compiler can generate incorrect code in this case.Ā The warning should either be fixed, or -fno-strict-aliasing should be added to the CFLAGS.Ā I looked at the code for about 5 minutes and it was not obvious to me what was going on.Ā punting is allowed with strict aliasing optimizations enabled if done with through an union though

Hello Guys,I have been searching for a while for a good host, but there are soo many these days it is hard to choose. I was wondering if people could give me information on the host they use and what makes them different to other hosts!
If you'd like to tell us exactly what type of hosting you're looking for, with what specifications, then we may be able to suggest possibilities for you. What we can't do is offer host reviews, which seems to be what you're asking for here.
See the area guidelines:
Host reviews are not allowed in any of our forums.Since the Review a Host forum closed, Host reviews are no longer allowed anywhere in the forums. For more information, see the announcement about this.
See the area guidelines:
Host reviews are not allowed in any of our forums.Since the Review a Host forum closed, Host reviews are no longer allowed anywhere in the forums. For more information, see the announcement about this.
Meanwhile you are in Sydney, are you looking for a host in Australia or somewhere else? As mentioned above, more details of your hosting requirements please.
Hostgator is definetely the best. I've had great past experiences
I recommend HawkHost, the support was great unlike my other host that did not answer my tickets, and what makes them different? I needed a cheap reliable hosting for several small sites, so unlimited hosted domains, and they have exactly that!
I can help you with that ,first tell me which type of web sites you want to make, and how much traffic you are expecting, if low traffic then you can take shared hosting. My recommendation is 4GoodHosting as a web host that offered excellent value. Uptime is great and you cant experience downtime.
As the former Team Leader (who generated the Host Review board), I have to say that the overwhelmingly BAD hosts were GoDaddy and HostGator. Depending upon your requirements for hosting, members are "all over the place" with their recommendations.
Personally, I've a good hosts turned poor (Site5 - prior to Ben) and a good host (WebHostingZoom) I left because I found an even better host (WebHostingBuzz - .com or .co.uk). With WHB's multitude of accounts from basic hosting through VPS to dedi AND Specialized Hosting (Drupal, WP, Joomla, etc) supported by an outstanding support organization, I'll stick with them as my overwhelming favorite for their products, service and reliability/extremely high up-time at a very reasonable price.
[indent]I offer my standard advice when selecting a new host:
Establish your requirements, i.e., Linux, Apache 2.4+, PHP 5.2+, MySQL 5+, the preferred control panel (e.g., cPanel) and storage and bandwidth requirements. Remember to allocate for log files, databases, e-mail (attachments) and growth.
If you're looking for a VPS or dedicated server, remember to ask what the host's managed services provide. Remember, a non-managed host must be monitored by you 24/7/365¼!
Know what control panels you are willing to use, i.e., WHM/cPanel. cPanel is the standard bearer for Linux systems and Plesk for Windows systems. Customized control panels may or may not be satisfactory.
Know how much CPU time/RAM you need. If you need a lot of processing power (like WordPress and other CMS's), this will be a major factor. These, however, are usually specified only for VPS/dedicated accounts and automatically throttled for shared/reseller accounts. Note: WebHostingBuzz does have "Specialized Hosting" accounts for these memory hogs like WP, Joomla, Drupal, etc.
Know your target (the Internet is fast but some latency could hurt so the closer your server to your target audience the better) location and try to host as close to your target as possible.
SEARCH (using the above parameters) recording each feasible host as well how well it satisfies your requirements and budget. Spreadsheets are good for this as you can assign weighting to the different requirements and how well they were met to generate numerical scores.
Create a shortlist based on the database you've created in step 5 then SEARCH for comments about the host (avoiding obvious shills and websites which advertise for that host).
(from EastCoast) "Eliminate anonymous companies - if a hosting company doesn't have a full office address and company registration details visible on their site, it's often down to the amateur status of the operator, which is unlikely to be consistent with longevity and reliability."
(from EastCoast) "Eliminate new companies - hosting has a very high fail rate because of the low barriers to entry. If a company makes it through it's first 5 years then it's likely it's jumped a few hurdles and knows what it's doing sufficiently to have made a viable business. Not all new companies are cowboys, but the percentage is high enough that it's not worth the risk of being the one to find out the hard way, when there are plenty other options."
Eliminate companies which do not tell you exactly what you're getting for your money, i.e., the Control Panel, the storage, the bandwidth (traffic), the versions of the main daemons (Apache, PHP and MySQL), the SSL and dedicated IP charges, etc. That's where knowing your requirements comes in strongly! Hosts like WebHostingBuzz upgrade their daemons when new versions come out but ensure that they are not "bleeding edge" updates. Ask your shortlist about their upgrade process.
The last step (other than selection) is to contact each shortlisted host with a question (I've used .htaccess and mod_rewrite availability, which services are managed by the host, the availability of IP addresses - you will require one for each SSL you use - or ask to test proprietary control panels - they may make life too difficult for you) and record the response time and your level of satisfaction with the response.
Finally, you'll have enough information to make an intelligent selection: "Just Do It!"
I have been there, done that (all too frequently in the past).[/indent]
I think the Simple Helix is best,I run it for my Magento website
Linode is also great. They've increased their bandwidth recently and their service is very good.
Im using HawkHost and im very pleased with the customer service, also i needed to host for cheap several small presentation sites, and i like the fact that they offer unlimited websites hosted.
m using HawkHost and i
I like Hostgator for having better hosting services. I am using its hosting services from long time and really having a great experience. So I would be recommended this hosting service provider for all website user.
hostgator,bluehost both r good
I have tried hostagater, bluehost and here is the summary of my experiences, when you really get some high traffic and load on server they are down. I guess they are suitable for small to med business or otherwise get dedicated server if you have secure and high end business needs.
How about Rack Space for a UK web hosts?
What do you want to know? And how does it relate to the OP's question?
I'm a big fan of wiredtree. Been using them for five years now. As much support as my $1200 a month dedicated server on three other hosts.
Hello, There is a lot of service that provides web hosting, but I recommend HostGator, JustHost, page, BlueHost. They provide best costumer support, service and plans.
Hostgator +1
The original poster has probably found a host by now THREAD CLOSED

Pur Essance Review – Hooked on it by means of Trial. In the beginning, I wasn't focused on buying any type of product or maybe any more products given that undertake and don't actually work with me in past times. Well, I chose to use up the Pur Essance risk free. Naturally, I became a customer because I was stunned with the effects and in what ways easy it absolutely was. Normally like consuming trial products in advance of getting them which is why these details managed to get in the Pur Essance review.
Precisely what Pur Essance Review Guarantees
Just before I generate any kind of review, mainly the Pur Essance review, I need to determine what it's guaranteeing. Essentially, the Pur Essance cream means to cause you to be look more youthful, lessen wrinkles, clean oily skin and reduce imperfections. That's a lot of intentions to alllow for this straightforward minor cream. Even so, after currently being hooked in by each one of these promises, I have been as much as obstacle.
Pur Essance Review: The Results
When I initially tried out the Pur Essance anti-aging formula, I wasn't ready for benefits quickly, therefore i was patient. Providers usually tend to embellish the best way rapid their product really works. After a month, this is just what brought about me to write the Pur Essance and pure essence review, when i was very impressed with all the results.
Before The Pur Essance Review
Prior to offering this Pur Essance wrinkle reducer review, I had been tentative because I didn't determine people would probably trust me or think I used to be promoting it. I'm only a normal old housewife who seems like she's been reborn in to a 30 year old body. Here is the most important part I feel of the Pur Essance Review.
What's Inside?
Previous to obtaining almost any skin care or health products, if you're much like me, you most likely were going to know very well what ingredients were interior. The Pur Essance ingredients have been really natural and extremely safe to use. They won't damage or flake your skin like a lots of other skin care related products will.Performs this Product Have A Website
If you want to find out of check out the Pur Essance website, we'll keep a hyperlink down below immediately after this Pur Essance Review has expired!
I was really completely impressed with the gains which the product offers and offers (at the very least it did in my opinion). Lots of skin care products are normally looking for a particular profit for instance wrinkle reduction or problems though the Pur Essance is really like a Swiss army knife for the skin.
While I couldn't get an trustworthy or respectable Pur Essance Review around, I found that the majority of of those share the same thing in frequent while explaining the various together with your anti-aging solution.
- It's oil free and won't help make your skin come to feel all oily.
- It's a non-drying product.
- It'll improve the clarity as well as the really feel on the epidermis.I really hope the information within this Pureessance review helps get you started and informed yourself on the Pureessance product!

Glasgow TheatresTheatre Break Index | The Arches | Kings Theatre | Òran Mór
King's Theatre
297 Bath Street, Glasgow, G24JN
Tel: 0844 871 7627
Since its opening in 1904, the King's Theatre has established itself as one of the most prominent theatres in Scotland. The historic venue is revered for its first class presentation of musicals, dance, drama, comedy and the production of pantomime – the latter of which it could be said is amongst, if not the best in the United Kingdom.
The elegant Edwardian façade is matched by the style of the interior, prompting comedian Billy Connelly to once describe his experience in front of the 1,785 seated auditorium as "like performing inside a wedding cake". The theatre features seating space on four levels: that of the Stalls, Grand Circle, Upper Circle and Gallery and recent years have seen the renovation of interior in order to restore the theatre to its previous glory.
Until the 1960s the King's concentrated almost solely on drama, musical theatre and ballet and during the 20th century welcomed many decorated and internationally recognised actors and actresses with names such Sir Lawrence Olivier, Katherine Hepburn, John Gielgud, Tyrone Power and Sarah Bernhardt all gracing its stage, while The Jackson Five also entertained the venue in the late 1970s for a Royal Variety Performance. The theatre still remains a big draw for travelling musicals, with a production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat' and 'Jesus Christ Superstar' featuring through September while the 'Rocky Horror Show' runs through November.
The Theatre as of 2002 is now managed by the 'Ambassador Theatre Group' with its subsidiary 'First Family Entertainment' responsible for the King's popular and critically acclaimed pantomime productions. Christmas Pantomime is particularly popular in Glasgow and due to the high standards set by competing theatres around the city, most notably 'The Pavilion' and 'Clyde Auditorium', the King's Theatre commits much resources and effort in order to ensure their productions remain the most innovative and well received pantomime in the city. This years much anticipated production will be 'Snow White' running from 3rd of December 2010 to 9th of January 2011 and will star stage-veteran Gerard Kelly as well as former no.1 UK singles chart pop singer, Darius Campbell (Danesh-Campbell), who has since rose to critical acclaim for his appearances on London's West End.
The Theatre lies roughly parallel to the McLays Guest house, although two streets along, with Sauchiehall Street lying between the hotel and the theatre which itself is situated on Bath Street. Bus or train travel would not be required or practical due to the theatre's close proximity which would require only a ten minute walk. A taxi would also cost no more than £3 from the hotel or around £5 from anywhere in the city centre.

The world's most famous psychic medium doesn't talk to people. Simon Silver (Robert De Niro) spews, shouts or mysteriously whispers confusing platitudes like "We all try to be something with nothing" at them, with no particular respect for context.
One of Red Lights' highlights is Eugenio Mira's mugging De Niro impression as the psychic's younger self in an explanatory newsreel. After dramatically retiring 30 years ago because a fan socked him, Silver is returning to deploy his Torpedo of Truth to the masses, one opera-scaled event at a time. At the top of his shows, Silver waxes poetic about the mysteries of sky, moon and wind, and compares himself to misunderstood genius-heretics like Giordano Bruno and Galileo.
A few determined skeptics are out to debunk the ESP myth and Silver's scam. Dr. Margaret Matheson (Sigourney Weaver) and her protégé Dr. Tom Buckley (Cillian Murphy) are professors who drive around tricking folks into thinking they're haunted by their beloved dead relatives, staging low-tech seance "sessions." They're bedraggled and cynical Ghostbusters in vintage tweed. They've done so much research on paranormal activity, and how's it's fabricated, that we can't keep up with it, nor with the characters' arguments over belief in superhuman ability or an afterlife. Like the Indiana Jones films, this tries to make academia an adventure, but tons of scientific mumbo jumbo, and casual references to Occam's razor and its ilk, often falls short of connecting.
The team recruits a keen student named Sally Owen that Dr. Buckley has the hots for, and whom Dr. Matheson momentarily objects to, played by Elizabeth Olsen. She's simply one half of a scantly seen romance that pops up when we need reassurance or closure, and one third of a procedural investigation without much bite.
Red Lights isn't as claustrophobic as writer/director/editor/producer Rodrigo Cortes's last film, Buried, which forced us to be in a coffin with Ryan Reynolds for a couple hours. It works best when it doesn't take itself seriously, and some of the ways in which ESP is faked are briefly engaging, like short con games or magic tricks revealed. But, finally, the film doesn't offer the sense of release, or of surprise, that it seems to take for granted. Plus, a letter to a dead person read in voice-over is expected to explain everything. Red Lights capably but goofily functions as light entertainment before a last-minute attempt to be a parable about the marginalized outsider: those poor psychics. If you've got the power, prove it.

text: Hey guys, First post here but I've been lurking on and off for a few years now. I'm a college student and in the fall semester of my senior year. I just got a full-time offer as an audit staff (accounting major) at one of the larger firms in CT- not big four but big enough for me. I'd just like some insight from some of you guys that work in accounting (preferably on the audit side vs. tax obviously) to give me some insight on what to expect day-to-day and the like. I understand that there's some travel involved in the job, also curious what that's like, when a first year like myself will have enough experience to travel (1 year, 2 years?), and just any general tips that you guys could give me regarding accounting. The job starts September 2013 by the way. Thanks

Recommendation: Buy Amerigas Partners LP (NYSE:APU) on a break above resistance at $45 per share.
Options Alternative: Some traders may also wish to sell covered calls against the position in between dividend payments to further smooth returns.
High dividend paying sectors like utilities tend to do well when stocks are starting to flatten out— partially because they have low volatility in their business models and partially because they pay income. Unfortunately, utilities might be the only place some traders look for new entries when stocks get choppy.
Look to MLPs like Amerigas Partners (APU) in a Downturn
However, there is another class of stock that can be superior in these market conditions called Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs). These are similar in many respects to unit investment trusts like REITs. However, instead of investing in real estate, most MLPs are involved in the transportation and processing of energy commodities like oil, natural gas and propane.
We like Amerigas Partners LP in the MLP category. This portable propane gas and equipment stock has paid a reliable dividend yield of nearly 8% for several years. Investors may initially have some concerns about MLPs right now because they have been lagging the market since early 2011. However, they aren't accounting for the fact that this is normal.
MLPs must pay 90% or more of their net income to their shareholders. That means that analysis of these instruments will be a little different than it would be with a regular company. Everything from depreciation, to EPS and the balance sheet has to be evaluated based on a different set of criteria than you might use for Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) or Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT).
Turnaround in Sight for MLPs
Click to Enlarge MLPs and other defensive or income generating assets tend to underperform when risk assets are doing well and then rotate into favor when growth starts to ebb. Despite Tuesday's new highs on the Dow and S&P 500, we still feel strongly that growth expectations in the near term are low and investors will be turning their attention to income and safety.
APU is nicely positioned to benefit from that shift and has already been showing a significant level of relative strength compared to its peers and the broad market.
However, pitting an MLP's performance against the S&P gives an incomplete picture. MLPs don't retain earnings like a regular company does; they return it to shareholders. Those dividends have to be included in order to make a fair comparison. In the second chart at right you can see the total return (including dividends) of APU and the S&P 500 SPDR (NYSE:SPY) over the last few years.
Click to Enlarge The chart assumes a long-term holding period for dividends paid by APU to smooth returns and amplify performance. It seems reasonable to assume that APU will outperform the S&P 500 in the short term if the market flattens a little. However, investors usually consider timing an entry into high-income producers and defensive stocks when they are rebalancing and considering a longer term position.
Amerigas Prospects in 2013
Like many companies, APU has seen declines in business due to the recession and the slow housing recovery. However, housing trends fundamentally shifted in APU's favor in 2012 with the first uptick in propane-heated homes since 2005. Additionally, APU acquired the propane operations of Energy Transfer Partners (NYSE:ETP) in 2012, which should lower costs and increase the potential customer base in 2013. Those benefits have not been fully priced into the stock due to competition from risk assets in higher growth sectors.
Currently, APU is breaking out and looks likely to meet their 2013 goals of increasing EBITDA by over 50% in 2013. The company has added leverage as part of their 2011-2012 acquisition but it should put them in a much stronger position to grow with the housing market in 2013-2014. This should drive the dividend in absolute terms and the stock's price over the next 18-24 months.
Trade Recommendation
We like an entry on a breakout above $45 per share. That is still technically within the current long-term consolidation but is above near-term resistance and should confirm momentum. Unlike many of our past trades, the timing is all about getting into the trade while it is undervalued for the long-term rather than a short term hold.
Options Alternative
Trading options on MLPs like this is tricky. For example, puts will be overpriced because the put holder receives the theoretical advantage of the drop in price when the stock pays a dividend. It also sometimes looks like calls are underpriced for the same reason. This phenomenon catches even very experienced option traders off-guard sometimes.
However selling calls against the long position in between dividend ex-dates could be a very effective way to reduce volatility.
Note about MLP dividends: Although the dividend is attractive, MLP dividends are 'unqualified' which means they are not generally taxed at a capital gains rate. Talk to a qualified tax advisor if you have questions about holding an MLP in a tax sheltered account and its impact on your overall tax situation.

text: merc240 - Unregistered April 06, 2010 12:19 AM Of all of them out there today, Ellison looks the one most likely to lift the title, barring any bad luck and flying Brookes's of course. Tommy has regrouped well since his injuries and is clearly after a second tilt at WSBK, however I think that his reputation as a 'tryer' might just lead to the odd costly mistake here and there due to 'trying' that bit too hard and not knowing when to settle for second or third. Brookes is still not consistent enough. Kiyo will be a threat all year and Easton will get stronger as the effects of his injury subside. Seeley is one for the future no doubt. Sof if James plays his cards right he could lift the title and surely the keys to a decent ride in WSBK.. 7 agree 1 disagree

New housewives are in and more drama unfold as NeNe goes through a financial difficulty and Kim insists on a career in music.
"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" is coming back to Bravo on October 4 but the drama is ready to be previewed. In a sneak peek for what's going and what's coming, model Cynthia Bailey and attorney Phaedra Parks are introduced as the new housewives replacing DeShawn Snow and Lisa Wu-Hartwell who quit in season 1 and 2 respectively.
From the first impression Cynthia is not as sassy as the other wives and she even had a breakdown during one of her photo shoots. But she seemed to be the babe whom every men would like to marry. On the other hand, Phaedra is a dominating attorney to many celebrities. Pregnant with her first child, she is married to a younger man who signs a pre-nup first.
Meanwhile, the other wives go on with their lives. NeNe patches things up with Kim but finds out that her marriage to Greg is falling apart due to money issues. Kim then drops the bomb, saying NeNe's husband borrows some money from her. On the other side, Kandi is seventh heaven with her new man, making a step at a time and vowing not to have sex until the end of the year.
Sheree talks about Kim's recent tabloid revelation about being bisexual. Having doubt about the truth, Sheree thinks Kim is a "media w***e". Subject of the talk herself is putting the story behind her and concentrating on her budding music career.

Optoma HD71 Home Theater Projector Review
HD71 Projector Brightness
Wow time. Optoma has never really created a fully tricked out "how bright can I get this projector" mode, but, I'll get back to that in a moment.
OK, starting with Cinema Mode and everything at default, the Optoma HD71 measured a whopping 1463 lumens!
Unfortunately, those default settings do not yield a great picture. After doing the usual contrast and brightness adjustments and a grayscale balance, the HD71 now measured a still incredibly impressive 1040 lumens.
I should note that Optoma has TI's Brilliant Color, and their TruVid adjustments. This creates way too many combinations, and it affects brightness tremendously.
For example, but toning down Brilliant Color from default 7, to 1, and TruVid, from default of 1, to 0, using the original settings that yielded 1463 lumens, only 885 lumens remained – a drop of about 40%.
Ok, back to the 1040 lumens. Cinema with those settings (listed in the calibration section below), looked very good.
Using those same grayscale settings, but engaging Bright, instead of Cinema, took us back up to 1635 lumens, enough to equal the Epson Home Cinema 720, but still far from the Panasonic PT-AX200U's brightest. Remember though, that even the Panasonic – at brightest, doesn't offer great color accuracy. Figure that the Optoma in bright mode, with the default settings, should break 2000 lumens, and if you really don't care about picture quality, because you are in an impossibly bright room, take Brilliant Color to 10, and crank up TruVid too. I didn't measure, but logic says the projector should get close to its claimed 2400 lumens. It won't be color accurate, but it will cut through the ambient light as well as any projector except the Panasonic, and not be too far behind it.
Let it be noted that Photo Mode measured 1290 lumens, and TV mode, 966 lumens!
HD71 Projector - Light Leakage
No real problems here. A little light out the vents, no significant impact on to the screen or front wall.
HD71 Audible Noise Levels
Tsk, Tsk! The HD71 is not overly quiet. It really is fairly typical for a DLP home theater projector. Optoma claims 27db in eco-mode, and 29 db in full power, however, I am skeptical. The eco-mode number is probably realistic, but when you go to full power (which also happens when you engage AI for better contrast), it seems like a jump of 4-6 db, and that would be, in my estimation, about right – something close to 32 – 33 db.
Those who are noise adverse will not be happy in full power or AI mode. Those who are really noise adverse, will probably look elsewhere. Keep in mind that LCD projectors as a group tend to be quieter than DLP projectors, although the HD71 is probably not really much noisier than the Epson Home Cinema 720, which is the noisiest of the LCD models.
HD71Projector Screen Recommendations
The bigger the better! Actually, the HD71 gives you the freedom to handle a large screen, like my 128″ Firehawk, rather effortlessly, even in its best mode, with lamp on low.
Since the black levels are not spectacular, you may want to choose a high contrast gray surface, like the Firehawk, or more likely other more affordable HC gray surfaces, since any Firehawk, costs more than the HD71. Look to those HC gray screens from Da-lite, Elite, Carada, all of which are rather affordable.
That type of screen will work especially well if you have ambient light issues coming from side sources, as they "reject" side lighting, to a certain extent.
On the other hand, if you just want to go with a really large screen, which will spread out those lumens, and therefore produce less bright blacks, a screen like the white surface Carada, with about 1.3 gain, will let you tackle 150″ diagonal screen sizes!
Still I favor going with the HC gray surfaces if possible, for the black level performance – unless you are buying primarily as a sports fan, and more interested in brilliant, vibrant action, than dark scenes in movies.

I've been aware of Guitarfetish for a number of years now. Over the years, I read the ads for their GFS pickups in various guitar magazines and heard the company and products discussed on a number of forums. I mostly knew them to be pickups and a modders resources company. I found out that Jay Abend operates Guitarfetish out of my neck of the woods so a few months ago I got in touch with him and we began talking. He invited me out to see his company in action. What I saw both amazed me and gave me a sense of pride. It's still possible for someone to start up a business with next to nothing, working hard to make it a success. Jay would be the first to tell you that the hard work was coupled with some happy accidents along the way. But I have to say, that to his credit, he took advantage of good fortune and has put together a growing concern.
I have been out to Guitarfetish a few times in the past year and I have to say it's been in the middle of some exciting developments, not the least of which, was the explosion of their Xaviere guitar line, an inexpensive instrument that rivaled guitars at more than twice the price. What impressed me most was that Jay and his staff operate an R&D component from their establishment. The staff is comprised of musicians who are currently or have been recently gigging. With these guitars, as is the case with the pickups, a tremendous amount of R&D went into their development. They experimented with materials, manufacturing plants and designs with the ultimate goal of producing an easy to play and tuneful instrument. They did not go to a manufacturer and ask for a couple of guitars from their catalog with a Xaviere name slapped on them. In fact, part of the development took Jay overseas to the plants to show what he wanted done for these guitars. The Xaviere line include his now well known quality pickups which have already been the pickups of choice for many modders wishing to get away from the stock pickups usually found in an inexpensive guitar. These pickups are so good, they also find their way into replacing stock pickups on pricier guitars. I also like going out to Guitarfetish because Jay is one of the most knowledgeable guitar people I have ever met. He is a player himself who appreciates the instrument but also has a mind for the nuances of the business of guitars.
My latest trip out there was this past week. I went to the new loading dock area which is currently being remodeled. He has grown out of the spaces he has had over the past couple of years into much larger accommodations. They are adding new office and storage space as well. There are workbench areas for R&D and a professional photography area as well in the building. I mentioned as we were walking along that I'd like to video the various work areas. I think it would be great for everyone to see how it all gets done there.
While I was there I got to talk to Jay about upcoming plans and how the economy was affecting his business. Jay handed me a Fender strat that was plugged into a Ceriatone Overtone Special with a 412 cab loaded with Celestion Greenbacks. But that wasn't even the best part. The guitar was loaded with GFS' newest addition, noiseless pickups! They are called Neovins. They look just like a regular single coil pickup. The amp setup I was using was set at a lot higher than bedroom volume. There was no single coil hum. These are quiet pups, so quiet that I startled myself when I began playing. What came out of the speakers was amazingly vintage single coil tone. I was playing clean and it was just gorgeous, as sweet a pickup as I've heard at any price, noiseless or not. Jay explained the technology to me and just like I did in high school, I hoped that this part wouldn't be on the test. Luckily there is something on their website that explains what's going on.
"By utilizing carefully tuned narrow aperture coils, thoroughly shielded, we're able to achieve a hum-bucking tone that faithfully replicates the best single coil sounds. By using specific alnico and neodymium magnets, we've tried to dial in the best single coil sounds, from 50's vintage to 90's hard rock. We've applied a fine-tuned metal filter to the top plate of the pickup to notch just the right frequencies, and the entire assembly is epoxied into a traditional single coil shell."
I have a Fender strat with Gold Lace Sensors and I had a Fender Deluxe Player with the Vintage noiseless. I will be getting a set of these for one of my strats!
All of the GFS pickups are developed here by hand. After the specs are approved the search for an appropriate manufacturer goes on for production. For years, the GFS secret to success was to be able to produce these at a price the average modder could afford. Jay has been working on a lineup of active pickups as well. Always something going on!
Guitarfetish also has a boutique, hand made in the US, collection of effects pedals that are highly appreciated in many forums I visit. The Jetter pedals are made in Atlanta by Brad Jeter. Brad and Jay were partners in bedrock Amplification, one of the original "boutique" American Amp companies in the 80s. Jay mentioned that he'd like to get the pedals spec'd out in order to be able to produce an inexpensive version of these for the weekend warriors like myself!
Within the next month, we should be seeing the next wave of Xaviere guitars. Our discussion of the economy brought us to talking about shipping and freight. Those prices are rising daily. Guitarfetish is fortunate to be able to ask for orders large enough that they can be shipped by sea. That will help keep the costs down for now but will bear some watching over the next couple of years. The Xaviere guitars themselves have been improved on. They now have graphite nuts, better tuners and Jay went to the manufacturer to teach the employees just how he wanted the painting done. I saw a couple of the new f-hole style guitars while I was there. Nicely finished! There are also a couple of new styles available that will be knocking socks off.
Talking about socks, for the modders out there, there are new guitar bodies and necks in the works! I picked up an ash tele body that was just beautiful.
I look forward to the construction finishing over there, so that I can give a video tour of a company that is making it, even in an economy that has been showing signs of slowing down. They're making it with a commitment to creating a quality product at a reasonable price. I can't ask for more!!

Recycling program in dorms helps keep Peterson green
Thursday, April 24, 2014 - 12:40pm
Peterson Air Force Base
Have you ever held an item in your hand just before tossing it into the trash bin and thought, should I recycle this? The new dorm recycling program was created to help make this choice easy.
Recycling is good for the environment and helps reduce pollution and waste in landfills and oceans, but for it to be effective, it needs to be accessible and convenient. This is one of the factors behind the success of Peterson AFB's recycling effort.

Meanwhile, another player had joined the game - two people can play cooperatively now - and taken on the role of Eva, a new playable character (so you actually have four mercs from which to choose now). Eva immediately demonstrated a crazy-useful new weapon, a crossbow that fires a grappling hook.
She fired the crossbow at a passing enemy helicopter, then retracted the cable, thus hoisting herself up to the copter. Kicking the pilot out of the cockpit, she assumed the controls and headed toward the mission's target: a leviathan off-shore oil rig the size of two football fields laid side by side.
Mattias was already there, having swum out to a boat, jacked it, then taken it to the oil rig. Making his way onto the deck, he dispatched a few guards and set about planting satchel charges on the rig's support columns.
When finished, Mattias used his own grappling hook (everyone has one, apparently) to snag onto the landing gear of Eva's copter just as the charges began going off, rocking the entire platform. While lifting Mattias to safety, Eva blasted a few more missiles into the rig's already failing superstructure.
Finally, with a massive groan of cement and metal, the supports gave way, sending the entire oil platform plunging to a watery grave. This impressive feat was capped off by our demoer's remark, "You should see what we're doing with fluid physics. Can you imagine what would happen to the surrounding water if you dropped an entire oil rig into it?"
Indeed we can. This game can't find a publisher and release date quickly enough. In fact, drivers may decide it's practically therapy: we've been shelling out way too much for gas for far too long. At least in this virtual world, we can do something about it.

When it comes to summer entertaining you can never have enough supplies. Sometimes you never know if people will stop by unexpectedly or if you might end up having an impromptu get together. That is why I always make sure that I have plenty of the basic supplies on hand like napkins, plates and beverage cups (hot and cold).
We don't always buy things in bulk, but when it comes to party supplies we do. You can never have too many. Even if you don't use them for parties or barbecues they are still great to have on hand for those nights when you don't want to be bothered with doing dishes. On nights we order pizza we often use disposable (ideally recyclable) plates.
If you happen to have a BJ's Wholesale Club membership, or live near a BJ's Wholesale Club, you should stop by and stock up on party essentials. While you are there you should check out all the other summer time things BJ's Wholesale Club has to offer members.
My husband and I recently took a trip to our local BJ's Wholesale Club. We don't have a membership, but we were able to get a one day pass. Anyone can get a one day pass but note that you will pay 15% more than club members pay.
We have never been to our local BJ's Wholesale Club before. We wanted to check it out.
As soon as we walked in we saw all the items you might need (or want) for the summer time. From barbecues to lounge chairs (the kind you take with you on the beach) and from outdoor lighting (great for entertaining) to bulk food supplies (ketchup, mustard, chips…) you'll find everything you need this summer.
We even came across a Tiki Bar for sale. If we had a backyard I would love to buy this.
My husband and I went into BJ's Wholesale Club in hopes of picking up some entertaining supplies (plates, cups, napkins…) but ended up spending most of the time checking out the other summer time items. I was especially interested in the solar lantern. I wanted to get them for our balcony. I think they would have looked great. My husband didn't think they would work as well since we have street lights in the parking lot.
We fell in love with their retro appliances including a microwave and small freezer. If I had the $$$ I would have at least bought the microwave. It's so cool!
We went to BJ's Wholesale Club to pick up supplies and eventually made our way to the plates, cups and napkin section. Oh my! They had so many choices! They had entire aisles dedicated to them. WOW!
We eventually picked out some colorful plates and some cups. We were going to get some napkins too but my husband felt we had plenty at home.
On our way to the cash register we found S'mores kits. Oh my! If I wasn't on the Jenny Craig program trying to lose a few pounds I would have picked up one of these kits for my family. Yummy!
We walked out of BJ's Wholesale Club with some plates, cups, a giant tub of mini pretzels (always great for snacks and to serve to guests) and a beautiful ornament that twirls in the wind. I did have a photo of our purchases but I can't find it.
The ornament is going to be hung up on our balcony as soon as my hubby gets around to hanging it up. It's pretty. It has a 3D butterfly that looks like it's flapping it's wings when it spins in the wind.
I did see other things I wanted to pick up (mostly in the grocery aisle). The day we visited BJ's Wholesale Club it was very hot and humid. We didn't want to bring home anything that was perishable because we were planning on going a few other places after BJ's Wholesale Club.
Now that we've visited our local BJ's Wholesale Club I'm sure we'll be back again in the future. Especially because they were starting to put out some back to school supplies and they had SIX binders for $8.00. That is a great price. We've paid close to that amount for just one binder at other stores.
To find a BJ's Wholesale Club near you visit www.BJs.com. You can also follow the brand on Facebook and Twitter.
Do you have a BJ's Wholesale Club near you? Do you shop there for all your summer time needs and supplies?
*I received a gift card to help facilitate my review of our local BJ's Wholesale Club. There was no other compensation. The opinions expressed are my own and not influenced in any way.

|City's 'hazardous workplace' designation removed after review
|Kerry Craig | News-Telegram Assistant Editor
Nov. 23, 2004 -- The city of Sulphur Springs is not a hazardous place to work after all.
After being designated as a hazardous workplace by the Texas Workers' Compensation Commission two months ago, the state agency has changed its mind.
In a letter received this week by the city, Robert Giacomazza, administrator of the Hazardous Employer Program, said "We conclude that Sulphur Springs should not be identified as a hazardous employer ... "
Sulphur Springs City Manager Marc Maxwell said the city knew all along it was not a hazardous place to work.
"I wish I could say we are delighted to learn we are not a hazardous employer, but we knew it all along," Maxwell said.
The time frame used by the state agency to make the determination was between Jan. 1, 2003 and Dec. 31, 2003, according to Steve Pedersen in the Worker's Health and Safety Division office in Austin.
Pedersen said it was highly unlikely the designation was being applied to all city departments, but to a specific department.
While the state agency did not supply the specific incident or accidents that prompted the designation, the city manager identified three injuries, but said he could not imagine the incidents would warrant any special designation for the city.
"The whole issue was they had a problem with the parks and recreation department," the city manager said. "There were three worker's compensation accidents in 2003 in the city that resulted in time lost from the job."
In seeking an administrative review of the designation, Maxwell told the commission there was a problem with the area of work of the three injured employees.
"For some reason, they thought that all three of those employees were employees of the parks and recreation department," Maxwell said. "In fact, none of them were. One of them was a firefighter, one works at the water plant and one was a water and sewer distribution employee."
Specific job and department information was submitted with the review request.
"We sent them documentation to that effect and asked for the administrative review, which concluded we were right," he said.
"As a result of the corrected and verified information, the hazardous employer status is removed," Giacomazza wrote in the Nov. 10 letter. "Sulphur Springs is no longer subject to the requirements relating to hazardous employers during this audit period."
If the designation as a hazardous workplace had been allowed to stand, it would have had some detrimental effects on the city.
"It would have been costly," the city manager said. "We would have had to hire a consultant, and consultants don't come cheap."
Had the city been forced to hire a consultant, Maxwell said, the city would have had to follow his recommendations, which might have led to unnecessary expense for city taxpayers.
"With the designation of hazardous employer, we would have had to jump through a lot of hoops," Maxwell said. "Our rates for worker's compensation insurance would go up and stay that way for two years and would have been a costly thing all the way around."

Inside Patio and Fountain
Guateflora: Colas de Quetzal
You know you are in a Guatemalan home the moment you see the Colas de Quetzal (nephorlepsis spp.) or Quetzal's tails (ferns) hanging in the corridors. The Colas de Quetzal bracken has to be one of the favorite ornamental plants used in the Guatemalan home. Some of these ferns or brackens are native to Guatemala, but they are considered cosmopolitan because they can grow anywhere. Colas de Quetzal can grown in hanging baskets, pots or in the ground, but they need some shadow to maintain the evergreen colors. The above photo of Colas de Quetzal was taken at Vivero La Escalonia (5a av. sur final), a very popular nursery in La Antigua Guatemala. Vivero La Escalonia is a great place to have breakfast or lunch.

Opening words
Yay! Exams are over! And now I'm on school holidays so there'll be plenty of time for me to work on RHN
perhaps a new layout?
. Yes I know its late this week but we'll be regular again soon enough.
This week we've got the final part of our 3 part Tips and Tricks. An interview of the creator of Shiny Gold and an article debating the recent changes made to the Rom Hacking Forum.

Staying current with the rom hacking scene
HotY Round Two - Category Round
Round 2 of Hack of the Year 2008 has begun! In this round we give awards to hacks that excel in particular aspects of hacking. Know of a hack with excellent mapping? Or maybe one with scripts that leave you speechless? Well whatever it is let your voice be heard by voting!
Best Newcomer is for hacks that are relatively new! Don't vote for something thats been in production for a long time! Surely this is obvious?
Hack Rating System
RHN will follow a standardised rating system similar to that of IGN, ratings and their meanings are described below.
10.0 to 9.0 - Masterful
Its almost impossible to make a hack that is perfect, but ratings in this range get pretty close. These hacks are flawless in all aspects of hacking, they are innovative and engaging.
8.9 to 8.0 - Impressive
Hacks that we feel are outstanding and are exceptional in at least one aspect will receive ratings in this range. Hacks that we feel are worthwhile and that everyone will find enjoyable. You'd need to put in a lot of effort to get this rating.
7.9 to 7.0 - Good
An excellent hack that is let down by a one or two major problems. Above average in all aspects but just missing a few things it needs to be great. Not amazing but has potential.
6.9 to 6.0 - Passable
Hacks that are just above average. Nothing to really get excited about. Nothing particularly horrible about the hack but nothing all that great either.
5.9 to 5.0 - Mediocre
A hack that provokes no emotion, standard, run-of-the-mill whatever you want to call it, these hacks are as average as they come.
4.9 to 4.0 - Lackluster
Hacks that do not have enough effort put into them. Probably not worth the attention for the time being. Has some potential to be better, but not enough to become something spectacular.
3.9 to 3.0 - Poor
Hacks that are flawed in all areas, most likely caused by inexperience by the author rather than effort. Not worth checking out regularly, will probably be cancelled the next week.
2.9 to 2.0 - Bad
Hacks that we recommend you avoid, not worth playing. Might have a few interesting ideas but ultimately is just very poorly executed. Major flaws in all aspects.
1.9 to 1.0 - Terrible
A hack we believe should not have had its thread accepted. These hacks are not even worth browsing over. These hacks are usually made by people trying to achieve internet stardom.
0.9 to 0.0 - Abysmal
Hacks that are not even truly hacks, more like edits. A few small changes to the original game, achievable in mere minutes.

Spotlight on the Hack of the Week
The Dawn of Pokémon
Hack Author:
Reviewed By:
Despite the questionable introduction this hack is really quite promising. dratii is obviously a very talented hacker, having done a lot of ground work before attempting a hack. Something many new hackers could learn from.
Mapping is very good mostly. Theres a few issues that could do with sorting out, such as the use of only one type of grass tile. It may seem like a small problem but its quite noticeable. The scripting is as good as you could ask for. Nothing special yet but as I've said many times thats not always a problem.
The thing I don't like is how dratii isn't taking this hack seriously. Thats not to say that dratii isn't trying but he says so in the introduction that this hack is for him to learn. Making mistakes is the best way to learn. Maybe dratii will get some inspiration for this hack and will continue to develop the story. I'd certainly love to see that.

Map of the Week
A review of the weeks MOTW winner
Map Author:
Lucario 9
Map of:
Fire Red
Map Shot:
Click Here!
I look at this map, and my eyes are instantaneously drawn to that ugly line of empty space on the right. By the looks of that, it seems as if Lucario 9 had gotten lazy in the final editing. Next, my eyes were pulled to the rock. Sure this is a simply terrific rock, but it seems as though there almost too many corners. They aren't well rounded, and generally have a poor shape. Now as I look at this map as a spectator, instead of a player, it is generally eye pleasing, and seems like a lot of effort was implemented into this map. Now when I imagine myself going through this map (keep in mind this is only the second route, as entitled 'route 2'. This would be a pain in the ass to go through, and the lack of Pokémon you have at this point wouldn't really help either. The shape is mediocre, and just generally not well done. The tile use on this map is poorly done. The standard Nintendo trees should not be scattered like the way he incorporated them. It results in the map becoming more lackluster. The fact that the rocks in the water don't have their dark shadows also irritates me, seeing as Lucario 9 took an easier way out. The last thing that bothers me about this map is the one blocked ledges. It just does not look right at all, and they are implemented badly. I think this map is too difficult without any spots for healing, especially since it is this early in the game. I am not a fan of this map, sorry Lucario 9.

Forum Changes
A report on the hacking community
Good or bad, that is the question. These changes might give the rom hacking forum a nice new look, but lets think about it a bit more, it used to be four sub-forums, but then the scrapbox was added, now their is another. I'm getting the feeling that the forum is becoming crowded. It looks a bit messy now, due for a cleanup. But first, lets get into the positives of this new change.
Most types of threads now have somewhere specifically to be put, whereas before it was a bit confusing. You also have the advantage of knowing where to go to find a certain hack, unlike before, you cant tell the difference between a hack that has a playable beta and alot of progress and a newbie hack. The other good thing about this is the whole forum isn't as random as before, adding to the point of threads going where they should.
But then of course, there are things that do not compliment the changes, as I mentioned before, things got a bit confusing and messy, I couldn't find a hack from before. The whole hack forum still needs a bit of a tidy up, the only way that could happen though is by a complete refreshment of the forum, but that wont happen. The forum now looks jam packed aswell, too many sub-forums are making it look a bit bad. But you do have to face bad things for good things to happen.
But hacking is moving in a forward direction, it may not happen quickly, but overtime everything will have a nice noticeable change. I don't want to disagree with the changes, but I don't really want to agree aswell.
I'm deeply sorry if the article wasn't up to everyones expectations, but right now there is not much else I can report on.

Beginner's Corner
Tips for new hackers
Flags. Something that not many newbies seem to understand... In fact, most people don't understand them. So, today I will be telling you all about them. I'll go into as much detail as possible. So here we go...
#org @Main
givepokemon 25 5 1 0 0 0
msgbox @Message1
boxset 6
#org @Message1
= Here's a Pikachu.
Ok, that's a simple GivePokemon script. But wait... It keeps doing it. How do we stop that? Simple answer: Flags.
#org @Main
checkflag 0xA0A
if B_True goto @AlreadyDone
givepokemon 25 5 1 0 0 0
msgbox @Message1
boxset 6
#org @AlreadyDone
msgbox @Message2
boxset 6
#org @Message1
= Here's a Pikachu.
#org @Message2
= I already gave you one[.]
Right. Now it checks to see if it's already been done, however we still haven't
the flag. Thus haven't told the game we only want it done once. And to do that we do...
#org @Main
checkflag 0xA0A
if B_True goto @AlreadyDone
givepokemon 25 5 1 0 0 0
msgbox @Message1
boxset 6
setflag 0xA0A
#org @AlreadyDone
msgbox @Message2
boxset 6
#org @Message1
= Here's a Pikachu.
#org @Message2
= I already gave you one[.]
And that's it. Of course the flag doesn't have to be 0xA0A. And be sure to use a different flag for every script. Anything between 0x1 and 0xA000 are usable flags. Also, remember, some flags are used by the game, so it's best to to use something above 0x850.
I hope you all understand flags now. ^^

Question of the Week
Same question, different opinions
How much time do you dedicate to hacking a week?
"Well, it can vary by a lot depending on my mood. But I can spend anywhere between 5 hours, and 100 hours hacking. In the school holidays it's less, because my friends are all free to do stuff. And if I really get into something it can be an astronomical amount of time... Anyway, my answer is: "Too much.""
TB Pro!
"For me, it depends on the week, and what is going on at the current time. If I have nothing going on at the current time, I like to spend roughly 90 hours a week. If I have something going on I may only spend 50 hours hacking. I usually only spend about 20 hours a week on my hack, though. I prefer to work on other hack-realated projects most of the time."
"IT varies, but usually at least 3 days a week.
It depends on if I'm in the mood or not. I work on my hack some and do other hacking things some."

An in-depth chat with...
So, the famous creator of Shiny Gold, the undisputed most loved hack, ever... What got you into hacking?
Ahhh... How many times I've told the story?
there were a few hacks being created, but I was more interested in making my own, so I downloaded a few tools and...
that's the first time in Pokecommunity, but I never created an account,
I was a leech, you can say.
So, after failing with that first GBC hack attempt (in which you could go from Kanto to Johto), I returned to RPG Maker, then I got interested in creating a Pokemon-like game for RPGM, but then I found a post in some forum which said that Pokemon hacks were better, that made me mad so I decided to try a rom hack again and I got Baro's Quartz,
It was good, so I researched again, and found Pokecommunity once again ,
this time, GBA hacking was getting developed, and out of the hacks available, I got a liking to GSC remakes, and that's when I decided to officially become a rom hacker.
ROM Hacking has improved alot since you first saw it.
It's only natural.
Your hack is definately loved by many, but do you sometimes feel that it can be a bad thing?
I really cant do anything about that. I'm conscious that there'll be always people on both sides, liking and hating what I do. That's why I remain calm about the bad effects of doing something popular
Indeed. But having people not like you can be a good thing. If everyone loved you, life would be no fun.
It's not like I pay a lot of attention to both sides, anyway >.<
As long as I'm happy with what I'm doing...
When you first posted Shiny Gold on PC you suggested that you would try to do everything by yourself. Have you had much help?
Most of the help comes from the graphical aspects of the game, since it's not an area I'm very good with. And lately I'm getting musical help.
Not to mention the help from Mastermind_X, which is always very helpful.
They cover areas that I dont think I'll ever learn to cover on my own.
Indeed. Graphics is definately something you need to be naturally good at. But ASM, and the music, aspects can be mastered with hard work.
Yeah, but I lack musical talent -_-
Me too.
Well, enough about SG. More about you.
What do you think of the members of the Hacking Community at the moment?
And the Community in general.
Let's see... Except for a reduced number of people, the rom hackers seem to be struggling at the time of being able to progress with their rom hacks for a long period of time. I think they need more perseverance, or, more planning before actually starting a hack.
The community in general, not like I've been around that often, but I guess we have a lot of new hackers coming, they need to learn a few things from the older ones, and the community will start to get a lot of good hacks once again.
What do you think on the newer people who have no idea what Hex is, and have no will to learn about it? Do you frown upon them?
Each person is free to take rom hacking as they want. It's not like you cant do a good hack without hex, but it will certainly make you a better rom hacker if you were to expand your knowledge about all the aspects of hacking
What do you think the most important aspect in a hack is? (Maps, Graphics, Scripts, a good story)
...Everything? O.o
Alright, I think that scripting (a scripter saying scripting is the most important, how obvious) because it is what makes a whole new game, with new events. An interesting story with good scripts to implement it is my definition of a "good hack".
I couldn't agree more.
Would you like to recommend a hack?
I guess all the hacks I've been liking were already recommended, so I'll just recommend you to play every hack, no matter the platform. But I guess that nobody can skip Prism and Marble, because I think they are made by guys who really take rom hacking to another level.
Well, I think that's it, then.
You should skip Shiny Gold, it's made by a pathetic guy...
You stay away from my interview!!!

Tips and Tricks
A cool new trick that you may not have known about
So, last week we learned how to edit the moves that the Move Tutor's can teach. And this week will be a continuation on that. Today I'm going to tell you how to edit which Pokemon can learn which moves from the Move Tutor's. =)
Fire Red English - &H459B7E
Leaf Green English - &H459B9E
So open up whatever offset you want in a Hex Editor and you should see this: [ 0000 9A40 9A40 9A40 FF60 FF60 FF60 FD40 ... ]
These are the "Binary Switches" which tell the game which Pokemon can learn what moves. So... First things first, get value #1 (
) which is Bulbasuar, and flip the Bytes.
So now it should be
Next, open up Window Calculator. (Make sure it's in Scientific Mode) and then click the "Hex" option button. Then, put in our next flipped bytes. (
Then, we need to click the "Bin" option button. Now, you should get the binary value of that hex number, which is: 100 0000 1001 1010
Right... Now, these values are kind of like flags (in scripting). They can either be 1 (On) or 0 (Off). So, what we want to do is work backwards starting from the far right, and make a list of what the values all mean.
0 = Off
1 = On
0 = Off
1 = On
1 = On
0 = Off
0 = Off
1 = On
0 = Off
0 = Off
0 = Off
0 = Off
0 = Off
0 = Off
1 = On
Get it? Good. Because I can't explain it any better... Now, you might be wondering why we had to make the list backwards... This is because the list of moves is read backwards by the game. (Substite first, Mega Punch last.)
So, simply put this is what all those values mean...
0 = Mega Punch can't be learnt.
1 = Swords Dance can be learnt.
0 = Mega Kick can't be learnt.
1 = Body Slam can be learnt.
1 = Double-Edge can be learnt.
0 = Counter can't be learnt.
0 = Seismic Toss can't be learnt.
1 = Mimic can be learnt.
0 = Metronome can't be learnt.
0 = Softboiled can't be learnt.
0 = Dream Eater can't be learnt.
0 = ThunderWave can't be learnt.
0 = Explosion can't be learnt.
0 = Rock Slide can't be learnt.
1 = Substitue can be learnt.
And that's it, do the same for every other pokemon, and then you're done. =D Have fun haxxing.

A typical traditional Dominican cuisine is centered on brown beans (habichuelas) and rice. With the rice there is chicken, beef, pork or goat, cooked only with very mild spices. Most of the Dominicans won't eat spicy foods. You will find many Dominican snacks to be made with both chicken and most commonly beans. Most of the Dominican snacks from the cuisine of Dominican Republic are made from dried fruits and some of them are also made from fresh fruits. There is a tremendous variety of snacks that are available in the cuisine of Dominican Republic. These snacks are quite unique in nature, they are quick and easy to make and are truly very nutritious. The Dominican snacks prove to be excellent to serve in small gatherings of friends and family.
