meh its easy to say "why not release more games or bigger games" when almost no one do , instead of a crowed period ....
Expect most people are hemorrhaging money after the holidays expenses on top of regular ones . And in some places people are preparing further ones for Carnival holidays or even valentine .
Most attempt in January fail or are lukewarm , except for niches that won't do better any other month anyway , truly big names and a selec...
What about you ? Just try to understand my point . DLC are there and not going away on bigger games , so certainly not this one
On one hand you have paid dlc no matter what , and no alternative to get those extra characters . As it has been for the last 7 years for street fighter and other fighting games .
On the other hand the SFV way . Still paid dlc , but at least a way to earn those for free .
I dunno how the hell from that you guys wanna...
There wont be new versions per se , but there would still logically be bundle re-releases for every 1-2 years of added content imo . especially when there are season passes
I'm not challenging that . But let's not pretend we don't know that short of the F2P alternative system , we would end up paying so much .
We already are with close to ALL fighting game released the previous gen and this one . Almost all of them had the capcom dlc pack , MK's season pass or the even more outrageous 5-7 or even 9 dollars per character cost
Short of going back to the unloc and codes era , which wont happen anytime soon , i say ...
If a so called casual can't muster the will and energy to unlocking them , over paying money ... chances are he wont care about missing out those 6 characters .... he's already barely using the available cast
Except Laura and Mika dont play the same way , and even less Birdie and Zangief ... and i don't just mean input by that
I agree that the reason advanced is flimsy and worse than "we didnt feel like adding him right now" , but you are exagerating
How are you punished ? You know well that in the current climate of games , 60 would buy you the initial roster as complete , while the rest would be sold instead a 15-25 pack or 5 dollars each characters .
The proposed way , you can either pay or xp for them to be unlocked , something still reachable for deemed casual , pending on their motivation
They arent the same ear in headphones . And even then , with a 600£ mobile , it would make some sense to include them
While i don't like and want those , i don't think you guys realise it's a specific product for a specific crowd that want that kind of in ear plug .
It's not as if they don't know that people can get insteads their own Pulse gold wireless or even elite for that kind of prices or cheaper .
So far it's around the price range of some high end ear piece from other brands like Bose ... so the worth depends on the quality
That's like writing an rticle named "why do people spoil themselves and unto others the Walking Dead and Game of Thrones" .
For some of those people , the answer is just that they wanna feel relevant and privy to some elite knowledge before everyone else
At least via social network like facebook , we get to chose our avatar . Which i care more about that getting ones added .
Just give in and let us pick our avatar in all modes
LOS1 is actually pretty good , but not as a Castlevania , but some 1/10 related long lost cousin that decided to be an hack and slash and God of War clone .
Also i'd swap lament with Curse of Darkness . It has the few good qualities of Lament , minus the repetitiveness and poor realisation , plus some neat gameplay ideas and actually a proper map and world design worthy of the franchise
Of course he wrote an article for some younger readers , but Castlevania never had mainstream appeal except with Super Castlevania 4 and SOTN . It's a serie we love , but it has only been at best a sleeper hit or cult serie .So i don't seen how it should necessary be a lie
Sega did kill it . WHile the ps2 was selling out as a dvd player and already promised the biggest titles ... the dreamcast was selling very well and would outpace the gamecube .
It's Sega that mismanaged it , and didnt capitalize really well on the best launch line up ever seen . Also let's not forget how they were failling already as an entity because of the collapse of arcade
Plus EA boycotted the console wich caused lots of damage
The console came out almost 6 minthlater in europe and even further in EU , and didnt launch with a lot worth playing .
it basically launched with crap like Evergrace , fantavision , Orphen etc . Sure it had Tekken tag at the us/eu launches and midnight club and timesplitters and ZOE , but it was definitively starving till MGS2 over a year later wich didnt open some flood of titles either yet .
It wasnt a very good first year , but most of us didnt care as w...
At this point , and considering their handling of shining force since the ps2 ... i'd settle for them to not do anything with Shining Force for a few years , over the Tony Taka crap .
Nothing against taka , he's actually an illustrator and chara designer i actually like a lot , but all the game his art he's involved with are awful and synonymous with the downfall of the serie
I doubt a majority 10 years old play this , or sales would grow instead of dwindling every new game . A big chunck is actually most likely old fans stuck with nostalgia and hopes it will get better . Which they are losing bit by bit every new mediocre game
That they or the article only mostly acknowledge the issues with recent titles is quite revealing .
And we've heard that every year after Sonic Adventure 2 . So basically for 15 years . During that time the only ones that didnt blow , but still wasnt great enough was Sonic rush on ds ... and two spiritual follow ups on wii by the same studio .
Show me one that is great , good even again , and then i'll trust you .
It sold more on ps3 and would just be losing the xbox sales as an exclusive title .
yeah but it's a remaster , they didnt have anything solid in the new department between revelations 2 ... and well the upcoming SFV and Monster Hunter . So a drop was to be expected .
Aside of course from Dragon Dogma's online in japan , wich is a mmo and f2p , so won't be choosing results yet and anything but losses for the year

In the boys division, Matt Nagy of Buena Vista finished at 6-under 138 to win the crown. For their efforts, Nagy and Yi will receive free air transportation, meals and lodging to compete in the Westfield Junior PGA Championship, which will feature boys and girls champions from each of the PGA of America's 41 sections.
Seth McCain of Comer was the top Athens-area finisher in the tournament, carding a two-round total of 5-over 149 to tie for ninth place. Other local players included Andrew Blaesing of Bogart (tied for 24th place, 9-over 153); Joseph Gaines of Athens (36th place, 12-over 156); Clint Johns of Madison (tied for 43rd place, 16-over 160); Matt Blaesing of Bogart (tied for 46th place, 17-over 161); and Kent Crymes of Athens (58th place, 24-over 168).
Horseshoe club seeks new members
Long before sports like soccer, racquetball and even basketball became part of the American leisure-time fabric, pitching horseshoes was one of the country's preferred methods of athletic competition. And these days, those seeking a venue to enjoy the time-honored sport need look no further than Madison County.
Jeff Coile is the director of the 4 Stakes Horseshoe Club, a Colbert-based group of nearly a dozen enthusiasts who get together every Thursday night for a few hours of twilight pitching. The club is sanctioned by both the National Horseshoe Pitchers Association and the Georgia Horseshoe Pitchers Association, and is one of six official groups in the state, along with teams in Snellville, Midway, Albany, Hawkinsville and Dallas.
"We've been together for about four or five years," said Coile, who counts his father Jimmy and his brother David as club members. "We used to have four or five tournaments a year, but we got away from that and started having better organized, family-oriented events."
The club meets at Jimmy Coile's home, located off Ga. 72 between Hull and Colbert, and hosted a state-sanctioned tournament in mid-May. The club will host another statewide tournament in September, and members also supervise the annual Independence Day horseshoe tournament in Colbert.
For more information about the 4 Stakes Horseshoe Club, call 706-783-4157.
U-12 Express finishes third in state
The Athens YMCA's U-12 Express soccer team completed its 2004 season with a 5-3-1 record, finishing third in the state in the Classic I division, but things began picking up for the team in a pair of postseason tournaments.
In late May, the Express, coached by Ed Rock, won the Gold Division championship at the 17th annual Redoubt Generals Invitational in Chattanooga, Tenn., winning four matches and scoring 11 goals to their opponents' one.
In a 2-0 win over Tennessee-based HVFC '92 in the finals, the Express got goals from David Himelick and Max Taylor and excellent defense from goalie Neal Bates. Adam Erickson finished the tournament as the team's top scorer with three.
On June 5, six members of the Express competed in the Carrollton Sweet Spot 3-v-3 Challenge, winning five matches and qualifying for the national championship, which will be played Aug. 7-8 at the Disney World Sports Complex in Orlando. This is the second time the Express has qualified for the 3-v-3 nationals.
Strikers climbing the GYSA ladder
The Athens YMCA's U-14 Strikers soccer team went 8-0-1 this year in their Challenge A division (and narrowly missing an opportunity to compete for the State Cup), and as a result will be climbing a notch in its level of competition.
Coach Steve Thomas said the team, which is made up of a pool of players from both Athens United and the YMCA, will compete in the Georgia Youth Soccer Association's U-15 Classic II division in the fall.
"Since we won our division, we move up a division," Thomas said. "We're among the top 20 teams in the state."
All but two of the Strikers recorded goals or assists this season, and the club was led in scoring by Beau Evans and Matthew Carroll, both of whom had five goals.
Seven qualify for Optimist tourney
Seven Athens-area junior golfers qualified for the Optimist Georgia District Tournament at a competition hosted by the Athens Evening Optimist Club and the Winder Optimist Club last week at Athens Country Club. The district qualifying tournament will be held Monday, June 14 at the Dogwood Golf and Country Club in Austell.
Golfers qualifying at the district level will be eligible to play in the Optimist International Junior Tournament at the PGA National Resort and Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., July 22-Aug. 1.
Qualifiers from Athens Country Club included Seth McWhorter (who shot a 71); Ryan Blue (72); Ben Hilimire (76); Kyle Rogers (78); Joseph Gaines (76); Cory Haynes (80); Leigh Crosby (75) and Catherine Leach (83).
Local golfers set for Southern Junior
Five Athens-area junior golfers will travel south next week to play with some 200 other golfers in the 32nd annual Southern Junior Golf Championship at the Sea Island Golf Club on St. Simons Island. The tournament, sponsored by the Southern Golf Association, will be held June 15-17.
Local golfers set to compete include Ryan Blue of Bogart; Ryan Peters of Watkinsville; and Athens' Whit Roper, Ryan Ruggiere and Kyle Stiles.
In other SGA news, 19 qualifying tournaments for the 98th annual Southern Amateur are ongoing, with a number of local players in the mix. The Southern Amateur will be held July 14-17 at the Honors Course in Ooltewah, Tenn. Competing for eight spots this week at Chateau Elan in Braselton are Keith Guest of Athens, Timothy Freund of Greensboro, and Patrick Phillips of Athens. Doug Stiles of Athens is competing in a qualifying tournament at Ooltewah, Tenn., and Cole Stiles is attempting to qualify in Savannah.
Also, Cole Stiles and Reid Waller of Athens and Mel Mendenhall of Greensboro all qualified for the 85th annual Yamaha Atlanta Open, which will be held June 14 at Pinetree Country Club in Kennesaw. Waller shot a 6-over 78 and Stiles carded a 9-over 81 to qualify on June 3 at Jennings Mill Country Club. Mendenhall, representing Reynolds Plantation, shot a 4-over 76 to qualify at the Stone Mountain Golf Club on Monday.

Urban mobility: A comparative analysis of megacities of India
The increasing reliance on motorized mobility in the cities is unsustainable considering the fast-depleting fossil fuel resources and the associated impact on global climate change. The consequences are more serious for India since it relies largely on imported crude oil for its mobility. To have a greater understanding of the urban transportation system, this paper presents trends and patterns of urban mobility and the consequent impacts on energy and environment in India. The analysis has been carried out for road transport across 23 metropolitan cities during the period 1981–2005. The study explores the underlying relationship among three variables—energy intensity, mode of transport and passenger kilometers traveled. Patterns of energy consumption and CO2 emissions, in private and public transport, are examined. The study makes policy recommendations to reduce transport energy use and emissions for achieving sustainable urban mobility.

Smart Gear x3 hoverboard review
So the time has come for Smart Gear to launch their next generation of hoverboards and as its prior models was called x1 & x2. It might not come as a surprise to you that their new hoverboard is named Smart Gear X3.
So whats new with the X3
For starters you might have notices its new slick design the old x1/x2 had a, well let's say much less appealing look than the X3 has. However there are a lot hiding within this new sexy more modern self-balancing scooter design.
Second it is faster, has a bit better range and best of all the recharge time has been cut in half! Even though this is faster than its earlier model sisters/brothers they held back with the speed, instead it has a 30 degree climbing angle which is much more than the regular hoverboards.
While testing we had to find a new hill to climb because the one we have had for our climb tests earlier wasn't sufficient anymore(we call it the hill of death since some manufacturers tend to miss the automatic brake system which should kick in while going downhill we have had a few injuries there…). It could almost touch the ground while leaning forward that is how good this device is at climbing. No more walking while going uphill.
Also this device has a new energy efficient feature that is kinetic breaking also seen on the robotturbo. That means while going downhill the hoverboard actually recharges it's battery while breaking saving energy and allowing you to go further on every charge.
This hoverboard has safety in focus
Also they told us that they do not want a device that goes faster than 10 mph due to the safety of their customers. I do understand this since I know many people has gone head over heels with increasing their device speed on these devices. It is still early on and there have been a few accidents. This also reveals how concerned and caring they are about their customer base. They don't care if they lose a few sells to the speed demons. They can sleep better at night knowing their customers ride safe hoverboards from a USA Based brand.
The Smart Gear X3 has a good 3 inch ground clearance. Hence it can easily move over small obstacles which many other hands free segways have a problem with.
The item got shipped in time and delivered within only 5 days which is very fast indeed and it came in a secure branded package with a manual, a charger and a carrier bag something you didn't get with the previous models and that was a nice thing to see they added to this one. No need to be cheap when the devices are expensive in themselves.
What do you get when you make this hoverboard-deal
A really fun hoverboard that has it all. Good speed, distance and this hoverboard can also carry heavy weight. It has great acceleration due to them lowering the top speed it gives more strength and acceleration to the scooter. The ports on this self-balancing scooter is sealed and IP 54 water resistance assured. It gets delivered with a carrying bag and a charger.
If you feel that the Smart Gear X3 isn't for you, Check our other self-balancing scooter reviews we're sure you'll find something that suits you.
One of the more thrilling hoverboard rides I've had. The ability to go off-road is great but even great and something I've missed is how much you can personalize the experience with the app.Read review
The off-road transportation hoverboard which will take you through the tough terrain with ease. Top speed of 12 mph and a distance of 12 miles total on a single charge. Recharge time of 1-2 hours leave you with less downtime and more beach riding!Read review
Highest quality with the ability to control it through your phone and all other fancy features that Segway implemented. Pricy but worth every penny.Read review
A great hoverboard with all the safety issues sorted out. Reliable, moderate speed and distance makes the T1 far more superior than the T3 verison from the same brand, Swagtron.Read review
The Swagtron T3 is a decent hoverboard but other than the new safety features there isn't much more to it in terms of performance. Not that it isn't a really smooth and fun ride. Just nothing ground breaking.Read review
A great and valuable hoverboard with bluetooth and led lights. A great choice for those on a budget but want to join in on the hoverboard craze. Safe, priceworthy and impressive.
A great hoverboard for the music lover. Nice speed, great distance and the lights really makes this one hell of a cool hoverboard to ride. Fast, fun and safe.Read review
A great and mobile hoverboard that has great speed and distance. Air filled tires which gives great comfort, a more secure ride and a fun ride. You can drive this baby on a dirt track with ease!Read review
The cheapest hoverboard witha top speed of 12.5 mph! A great battery with a 1-2 hours recharge time and a 13 miles distance. This is the cheapest fast hoverboard you can get and it is just as incredible as its price tag!
A cheap hoverboard with a blazing 12 mph speed and an 11 miles distance this is a great bang for the buck deal! Get your hands on this high quality product as soon as possible!

Dealer Selection Receive your free dealer pricing information by completing your contact information! The 2015 Ford Transit is set to arrive in showrooms this summer, which means it's time for the automaker to release the much awaited specs. Serving as a replacement to the long-running E-Series lineup, the 2015 Transit will provide more versatility and cargo space, all while sipping less fuel, assuming the estimated EPA rating stay put.As previously reported, the Transit will be offered with three engines starting with the base 3.7-liter V-6, which is rated at 275 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. With an EPA estimated-rating of 14/19/16 mpg city/highway/combined, the Transit's base engine provides up to 19 percent better fuel economy than the outgoing E-Series powered by the 4.6-liter V-8. Opting for the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 nets 310 hp and 400 lb-ft, while returning the same fuel economy as the base 3.7-liter V-6.Finally, the range-topping mill will be the 3.2-liter Powerstroke turbodiesel I-5, which is tuned to make 185 hp and 350 lb-ft, with Ford claiming 90 percent of torque being available at a low 1500 rpm. The EPA hasn't provided estimated for the diesel engine, but it'll likely return better figures than either of the gas-powered six-cylinders. All engines are mated to a six-speed automatic, and the aforementioned fuel figures only apply to models with the regular wheelbase and low or medium roof heights, so stay tuned for numbers on the long-wheelbase, high-roof version (and the diesel).Not only will the Transit be more spacious and fuel efficient than the E-Series, but it'll tow more stuff, too – Ford claims maximum payload has increased by at least 600 pounds across the board, with max towing set at 7500 pounds.Source: Ford Share this article in: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email 2015 Ford Transit Power Ratings, EPA Estimates Released /6 Advertisement to Skip 1 | 6 2 | 6 3 | 6 4 | 6 5 | 6 6 | 6

THIS is my fear even though we are trying. BUT for me, well us, we just do not want Gary to be an only child. And we also don't want a big gap between children, that way they are close enough in age to not really remember ever being the only one ya know?

But trust me, there are many times that I am just like, HOW will I be able to have two kids and divide my time, but apparently talking to other moms, it just happens!

The Church of England has encouraged all its churches to make 2017 "A year of the Bible". The DNA of St John's is that the Bible is already very central – so we will be looking at how we can build on what we already do and look at different ways in which we can approach the Bible.
Three things we would encourage you to do:
- Bring your own Bible to church – if it's a different translation we'll enjoy seeing the varied versions!
- Bring a notebook and record the new things you learn!
- Ask about difficult passages. After Easter we will be tackling obscure or difficult passages – if you have a passage that you find difficult let us know – we might speak to it!
There are two highly recommended events coming up:

Physicians are amid individuals people today we rely on and we should belief.

The Audi Q7 was first rolled out three years ago and as you may know the SUV immediately achieved a leadership position as a sporty, comfortable as well as high-performance recreational and business vehicle on a grand scale.
It was time for a change at it appears that this had happened because the new Q7 showed today its new facelift. The 2009 Audi Q7 Facelift comes now with a redesigned large single-frame radiator grille with vertical chrome bars contrast with its black high-gloss finish.
The bumpers have also been restyled and their lower section is now painted in a contrasting black or gray, depending on the body color. The biggest change is shown by the headlights which now feature the LED technology, continuing the so-called tradition from the Q5, A8, A5, A4, A3 facelift and the R8.
The side view too, with its coupe-like roofline, low window area and tautly curved body surfaces, reinforces the dynamic look of the Q7. The rear has also been restyled with and given two-tone paintwork.
According to the manufacturer the new vehicle will be offered in eleven paint finishes, including the four new shades: Ibis White, Graphite Gray, metallic, Teak Brown, metallic, and Orca Black, metallic An aluminum exterior package is optionally available from Audi: gleaming chrome bars in the bumpers and door moldings; the lower portion of the bumpers is painted in the body color; the center portion of the front apron and the diffuser are painted in a contrasting shade.
Inside, the selection of colors and materials is also new. Upholstery fabrics are available in black and light gray; leather upholstery additionally also in Para Brown, Savannah Beige and Cardamon Beige. Standard inlays are finished in matt black.
In optional design packages, aluminum and wood finishes are used. Under the hood we find the same engines: a 3.0 TDI delivering 176 kW (240 bhp) and 550 Nm of torque, a 4.2 TDI generating 250 kW (340 bhp) and a torque of 760 Nm, a 3.6 FSI with a power output of 206 kW (280 bhp) and 360 Nm of torque and the 4.2 FSI with 257 kW (350 bhp) and 440 Nm torque.

Madoff's little tech helpers arrested
Although Bernard Madoff was steadfast in his claims that he, and only he, knew about his monstrous Ponzi scheme, it was always difficult to believe. The FBI peeled back his claims further on Saturday after they arrested his tech-guys, Jerome O'Hara and George Perez, and accused them of programming an old IBM for Madoff, providing him with false records he needed to perpetuate his scheme. Madoff was clearly very grateful for their service and, according to the FBI, ordered his chief financial officer, Frank DiPascali, to pay them "whatever they wanted to keep them happy". All this information, and much more, has been provided by DiPascali, who pleaded guilty in August and is now providing valuable insight in return for few decades less jail time. Sensible move.

Nintendo sees themselves as a business entity that believes it has a firm grasp on a casual market that moved away from them years ago, and the other two are attempting to give gamers that actually buy things, value for their money and entertainment space.
Fail. This has to be the most inaccurate statement I have read on this board. You say they have your interests but they were really thinking about YOUR interests when they attempted to block used games.
This casual BS comes from people who are highly ignorant of real variety in video games. Nintendo offer something completely different from what the others offer. If you think Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, Smash Bros etc. are all casual you have your head in your f*ckin a$$ mate.
You keep preaching "oh casuals are gone Nintendo got lucky" blah blah blah but the fact that Pokemon, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, New Mario Wii and many others raped many of your "hardcore" Sony exclusives up the anus in sales means there were far more then just "casuals" buying Wii.
Get that flawed logic of casuals out of your head already you halfwit.

This is what I mean by being labelled a drone, such is life on the internet.
You misunderstand. Things like Netflix, they're pretty much a standard now. Everything which can connect to the internet can play Netflix, Hulu, LoveFilm etc. The WiiU is a bit lacking here in that TVii doesn't work in Europe yet (and believe me I'm disappointed there), but its not the main focus of the console.
On the other hand, the PS4 and Xbone have made it clear the social media aspect is the main focus. They want gaming to consistently be a social event to be streamed and followed on a whim, and personally I think there's nothing wrong with that, but I also think people are deluded if they think it won't have an impact on the games.
You talk about value for money. 10 years ago something that just played games was value for money, now we seem to want something that does everything. Are you not worried that the games may suffer because of it?

Funny because that is THE EXACT OPPOSITE of my gaming catalog on Nintendo systems...
I was basically going to post this. Even on a system that third parties absolutely hated like GC this ratio doesn't hold up.
Time to face fact Nintendrone, Wii U is a FLOP. Accept it and move on. Stop trying to damage control for Nintendo's failings.
This part of your post is completely stupid though. You already posted that you own 50 Wii games and 45 are third-party, so obviously you recognize that Wii's third-party support was decent. And Wii U has already gotten more multiplatform titles this year than Wii did in its entire existence.
Now, I suppose you could claim that you think Wii U will flop because it will lose the exclusives that made Wii what it was and basically end up as a second Gamecube (a console with some decent multiplats but virtually no worthwhile third-party exclusives). This is possible, but so far it doesn't really look like it, see The Wonderful 101, Bayonetta 2, and the Sega exclusives for examples of Wii U still getting exclusive titles from third-parties.

Nintendo and third-parties have NEVER been peachy. Now you want 3rd Parties to kiss Nintendo Feet? Nintendo makes systems for their games, and their ideas. That is why 50% of your catalogs on Nintendo systems are made from Nintendo.
You honestly think the average person buys over 50 games. Your taste in gaming is you have no taste, you seem to buy anything that is in the store.
Why would you even add yourself to this, you know yours not an average gamer. Not even 0.1 percent of Americans spend over 5,000 USD in video games in 7 years. 50 Wii games: are you counting games you rented?
SNES and NES had 3rd Party games but the relationship between Nintendo and Third Parties was like a tyranny with Nintendo being the tyrant of course. No only did Nintendo run a monopoly they abused their power as the console maker.
Quite Intelligent Judging!

Yeah, I buy every game that is out there.
Bullcrap, I got plenty of taste.
I am not a person who only plays the AAA titles like you Nintendrones do. I have a wide variety of taste, I don't always need a AAA game to make me happy. I am happy with with B games as well.
Sorry but that makes me a GAMER, sorry of you Nintendrones aren't real gamers.
This year along combining all my systems I must have purchased atleast 150 to 200 games.
I never rent games (can't anymore anyway, the only place the used to rent games was Blockbuster and they closed up 3 years ago)

Most of you are missing the point, apartment complex's, make parking "rules", The state of Texas makes "LAW'S".
The towing companey's follow the "rules" cause they make more money, If they followed the "LAW" they would have to work to make a living.
Let's put it a nother way,
If a bank robber,robs a bank, is he not doing his job???
So I really don't want to here you dumb shit's say, "his just doing his job"thats bull shit and you know it.
So eather the police DO NOT know the law,or there NOT GOING TO ENFORCE IT.

Sorry it took so long to find my way back here.
I was told by J.P. Russell Casey Of tarrant county,
That the Law about being towed from a apartment complex, did not apply to my,cause I did not live there.
But the law also states: Title 14. Regulation of yhe vehicles and transportation Chapter 2308.253 (f)"this section may not be construed".
So as they say, It's on appeal

We were visiting a friend living in the Plantation Apts. near Texas Stadium and using a visitor parking permit to park at the complex during a game. Excalibur towed our vehicle saying the permit was expired. When we pointed out the permit was in deed valid (not expired) they then said we were not parked in a visitor spot. Went back to apt. complex the next day and the sign posted clearly states visitors can park in the spot "WITH A VISITOR PERMIT". This seems to be quite the "racquet" this company has going. Tax payers and legit businesses need to demand their government officials put a stop to this illegal activity. Texas is not the wild wild west where robbers should be able to STEAL from the innocent.
Needless to say, we left Texas with a bad taste in our mouth. We will also be filing charges against Excalibur and be doing our part to try to put a stop to this illegal practice and encourage anyone else with a complaint to take the time to file charges with the DA's office and State Licensing Board.

This company hires people that speak very little English. This man I caught him in towing car and told me to pay $50. Of course he pocketed the money no filing of paperwork. I'm planning to file complaint with city of Dallas. Not on the tow but if the company actually employees people that are not of good character. The guys name is Buckingham short Latino man. I'm writing reviews because city of Dallas isn't opened till Monday so this will have to do.

Apartment complex said they posted notices requiring parking stickers....we did not get one. Excalibur showed up at 4:30 am next day and towed car for $260+ I am filing a complaint with city of fort Worth & Housing Authority against Excalibur & Hamilton management group. Charges are ridiculous. Excalibur needs their license to operate revoked, and reimburse victims.....
#95 Sep 8, 2012
What was the name of the complex? I too had my rights as a tax paying American violated by these f-ing crooks and plan to do my best to see that all their "dirt" is brought to the (spot)light then we'll see who's "illegally parked". In civil and in an administrative court it's all about a preponderance of evidence and I personally have read over 50 complaints and with some diligence , probably very little, could dig up alot more and that's not even cracking open any thing on their illegal activities, this just points to their complete incompetence and gross neglect to get warmed up with.

My car was towed this morning from my apartment complex. I had to pay $263.00 to get it out. I saw the tow guy walking the parking lot looking for cars that did not have a parking permit on it. I stopped him and him I was a resident and I had purchased. He told me to contact the office as soon as possible so that they wouldn't tow it. He advised me to place a visible note in the window of car so that any driver could see it. The note read, Please, do not tow purchased new vehicle and will get permit Monday morning when office open.#562. Well, guess what, they towed my car Monday morning at 4:55am. I am furious and the complex said they can not do anything about it. I am a resident and if I am paying my rent my property should be safe. I shouldn't have to pay rent and pay a tow company for my property. I only did what the driver of Excalibur told me to do, besides I showed him my paper work that has my address and apartment number on in from the car pocket. This is something that should have be dispatched in so the office would know. YES! I WAS RIPPED OFF!

I am filing a complaint against this towing company and this crooked apartment management. I was clearly parked in VISITOR parking for less than 24 hours (the allowed time is 72 hours) and came out to see my car gone. They could not give me a legit reason as to why my car was towed, other than "violation of visitor parking" which makes no sense. I know the apartment management gets a part of the towing fees so they aren't helpful at all. They are out to get every penny you have. So you have to pay monthly rent, as well as these unjust $263 fines every other month or so. After reading all these comments, I am glad to know that I am not the only one out there who got ripped off. Everyone must file a complaint and take this matter to court so that this illegal company can be shut down!!!!
#99 Dec 13, 2012
the appartment complex i parked failed to inform its tenants that just recently they removed ALL visitor parking. they also failed to mark the parking places as resident only. i was out of the car for minutes when they towed my car, so they must have been waiting. one of the neighbors told the driver i was the pizza man, and the driver took the car anyway. 300 dollars cash only to get it back. its a scam pure and simple. my company cannot deliver to these people as long as excalibur patrols the property. they ruined christmas for my family and italian delivery for a whole complex. from a working former soldier this outright form of extortion and utter lack of honor or morals is inexcusable. not to mention the damage they did dragging my car out of its space BEFORE properly hooking up. but i suppose we cant all have an honest job
#100 Dec 25, 2012
At 1:45 this morning (christmas day)i went to drop off my kids to their mothers apt and i was only gone 3 min and went back down to getpresents out of the car, my van was on the tow truck being hauled away and i called them and they said it's not my problem. the manager of the apts told us to park whereever if the visitor parking is all full and it was. of course the manager is not answering the phone or going to do anything about trying to get my van back and they are charging me $300 to get it back and it is christmas. the towing company is a bunch of theiving crooks and they need to be stopped.

#101 Jan 25, 2013
Yes Iagree if you park where you have no right to park you should be towed but when you park and have a valid parking sticker and still towed that's some bull shit..then when you call for them to bring your car back the stupid dumb ass receptionist have an attitude...i hate this place Excalibur Towing suck really suck and the ladies that answer need to get a job where they're not so damn snobby..stupid ass people and business ....not to mention they have tobring my car back and it's been over 12 hours andthe bitches ain't brought it yet

I have lived at the (Ghetto)Coffee Creek Apartments for two years. I have been assaulted by two other residents, have had people trying to break in my apartment, water leaks that have gone on for day's And I am talking about leaks that are coming from the apartment above me, dog crap every square inch, and overcharged on every single water bill. But today I was the worst ever. while heading to work at 5:30 this evening my car broke down right outside of the gates. I pulled over enough to not block other exiting traffic. My dog was with me and I had no leash so I rolled down the windows, turned on my flashers, and walked 300 yards back to my apartment to get a leash then walked back to my car. I got my dog and other personal things and walked the 300 yd walk back for the third time. I had my extended warranty info at my apartment so I called the service company and was told it would be 30 to 45 min and was told the driver would call me when he got close. I got the call at 6:30 and arrived back at my cars location at 6:35. BUT, there was NO CAR. It just so happens I broke down too close to a fire hydrant and was first ticketed, then towed by Excalibur Towing. After I paid the $300.00 to get my car the lady said that only I could go behind the fence, get my car and drive off the property. I told her my car would not start, that was the whole reason this incident took place and she said that I could PUSH it off the property or pay the yard help $20.00 more dollars and they would jump start it. Long story short, I called the police. They agreed that this company was ripping me off and escorted me back to get my car. I replaced the battery and started to back out but there was the really bad noise and once I got off their property I parked across the street to investigate. My left rear wheel was hitting, rubbing the fender well so bad it was tearing my tire. Apparently, the tow truck driver ran over something or hit something so hard he tore the entire suspension off that wheel assembly. Now what. I dont know. My car is still on the other side of town, I am out of money and no way to work. I will post the outcome as soon as there is one.
#104 Feb 17, 2013
Hello Nick, and thank you for an absolutely perfect weekend. I did not need my car as much as I thought I did after all. Oh, and a very special thanks to your driver that towed my car and completely destroyed the suspension supporting my left rear wheel. He must be an over achiever, perhaps not unlike yourself. Yes, when I woke up this morning I was hoping for one completely devastating event after another and YOU my friend made that dream a reality. The $ 300.00 I paid you is not nearly enough compensation for the amount of pure destruction you caused but times are hard and that was all I had. Please know, however, I will always have you, your company (Excalibur Towing),and of course the wonderfully bright and congenial Tow Truck Driver a special place in my heart.
Best Regards,
J. Mark Bumpas

One of the mysteries of the English language finally explained.
Definition of millennium in US English:
1A period of a thousand years, especially when calculated from the traditional date of the birth of Christ.
- 'Some of her archaeologist husband's finds can be seen in the museum, which is a must if you want to grasp the sophistication of Syrian art and civilisation of the two millenniums before Christ.'
- 'We are now entering the third millennium and we are about to collide with a post-modern, post-Christian world.'
- 'The new millennium was marked by special awards.'
- 'However, there are records of a similar nature written down by disparate civilizations over the last three millennia.'
- 'Born in the last year of the Victorian era, she lived to see in the new millennium after a century of turbulence and profound social change.'
- 'For the first millennium of Christianity, the college as we know it did not exist.'
- 'On the other hand, it is also rather weak on the later centuries of the first millennium of the Christian era.'
- 'However, the second millennium of Christianity was one marked by deep and painful divisions.'
- 'The last two decades are believed to be the warmest of the past millennium, and temperature rises in the last few years point to hotter times ahead.'
- 'Lastly, the hatred and contempt of the past two millennia add a formidable barrier to authentic communication.'
- 'Archaeological evidence dating back to the third millennium B.C.E. indicates that the main island probably was settled by Sumerians.'
- 'There can be no better time to have a wildly optimistic outlook than at the birth of a new millennium.'
- 'The first millennium was the first era when most of the world was settled, and the first time immigration and travel created a robust communication network.'
- 'The last millennium still had a couple years to go.'
- 'The military history of ancient Egypt spanned three millennia, spanning the Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages.'
- 'Many, many people in the last two millenniums got into my way.'
- 'Even something as monumental as the birth of a new millennium couldn't in the end live up to all of the hype.'
- 'At the beginning of the first millennium of the Christian era, synagogues were all-purpose buildings for assembly in village and town.'
- 'Although the area is rife with archaeological finds spanning millennia, neglect has deterred visitors.'
- 'What does an Oriental seer, born in the middle of the first millennium before Christ among historical circumstances and a culture so different from our own, have to offer such very modern thinkers?'
- 1.1the millenniumChristian Theology The prophesied thousand-year reign of Christ at the end of the age (Rev. 20:1–5).
- 'They viewed the Civil War as the beginning of the 'wars and rumors of wars' that were prophesied would proceed the millennium.'

Wesley Allen Hillsboro Iron Beds
The Hillsboro Iron Beds by Wesley Allen takes inspiration from the mountains of the Shenandoah. This interpretation reduces the mountains to their geometric essence as perfectly proportioned arches, bound together with floral castings recalling wildflowers supported by vertical spindles. Decidedly feminine, the headboard and footboard have rounded rather than square corners while the cross rail at the bottom of the footboard softly undulates just above floor level. The Wesley Allen Hillsboro Iron Beds are available as a complete bed including headboard, footboard and frame or as a headboard only to be used with a standard metal bed frame. The Hillsboro Iron Bed comes in twin size which can be configured for use with either a pop-up or roll-out trundle.

Many market watchers are flipping back to the year 1994, in the hope that the year's surprise rate-hikes by the Federal Reserve will provide a decent template for the near future. The latest look-back tries to gauge what the volatility index is going to do.
The Fed will release its monetary policy statement on Wednesday, and some observers believe that it could signal an important policy shift, tapering its purchases of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities. While easing back on bond purchases – known as quantitative easing – isn't the same as interest rate increases, they are both considered forms of tighter monetary policy.
In 1994, the Fed raised its key rate by a quarter percentage point in February, then continued to raise another five times until the key rate had climbed to 5.5 per cent by the end of the year, up from 3 per cent at the start. The Fed continued to raise rates in early 1995.
Bill Luby, who writes the VIX and More blog, looked at how the CBOE Volatility Index – or VIX, a closely watched measure of investor anxiety – behaved as the Fed's key rate nearly doubled. Curiously, it responded with relative calm: The average closing value for the VIX in 1994 was just 13.93, closing above 20 on just two days in the year.
"The historical record from 1994 suggests that tapering fears may be exaggerating how the QE end game will ultimately play out," Mr. Luby said on his blog.
We've pointed out before in this space that strategists are using 1994 as a potential template for how the S&P 500 will behave, too. Of course, it's not necessarily a great comparison: The Fed has been providing extraordinary stimulus to the economy this time around, including dropping its key rate to zero per cent. The stock market has loved it, so no one is sure how the market will respond when the stimulus is withdrawn.
But as Mr. Luby points out, 1994 was in some ways more extreme than what investors will have to cope with soon: Back then, the Fed did not signal its intentions, and then-Fed chairman Alan Greenspan used cryptic phrases to describe policy.
"For this reason, it was difficult for the markets to anticipate the Fed's next move and investors were not necessarily prepared for subsequent interest rate hikes," Mr. Luby said.
Now, the Fed is communicating clearly and directly, and chairman Ben Bernanke adds to the policy statements by participating in quarterly press conferences – just to be ultra-clear on where the Fed stands. If the VIX was calm amid rate hikes in 1994, perhaps 2013 won't be much different.

Do you play MOBAs? In my experience this question produces one of two answers: "Yes, I lost my first marriage to a six month Smite marathon", or a spine chilling shudder followed by a look of scorn.
27 million players log into League of Legends every single day, making it the most popular game in the world by a terrifying margin, but the genre still divides opinion. For many, the top-down isometric perspective of most MOBAs is unappealing, as is the prospect of learning about dozens, or even hundreds, of heroes.
Gears of War creator Epic Games wants to do things differently. The former home of controversial game designer Cliff Bleszinski and maker of bombastic bro-games doesn't seem the most obvious choice to carry the MOBA mantle, but Paragon is soon to join the cohort of battle arenas on PC and PS4.
Paragon is a MOBA
Epic is keen to stress that despite the third-person perspective and graphical prowess, Paragon is first and foremost a MOBA. In practice, this means the core tenets of the genre are preserved in their entirety.
"What are said tenets?" I hear you cry. They're simple – sort of…
MOBAs are all about characters with special powers. Each player takes charge of a hero that possesses three basic abilities and a fourth, more powerful one known as an ultimate.
The rules of the genre are becoming increasingly flexible, but generally speaking, two teams of five players face off against one another in a battle to destroy the opposing side's base. Battles are fought down three 'lanes' which connect the two bases.
Each lane is peppered with defensive towers, which protect the path to the allied base. Small creatures known as minions spawn on both sides of the map and force their way down the lanes to attack opposition towers and eventually the base. Players must constantly eradicate these pests in order to protect their own fortifications.
Slow and steady
Paragon keeps close to these basics, as well as other genre-defining features. Killing minions and other players grants experience, which players can use to upgrade their hero's abilities. More kills equals more power, so as in League of Legends and DOTA 2, always beware the MVP.
To a casual onlooker it might be easy to mistake Epic's creation for a game like Blizzard's upcoming shooter Overwatch, which is a Team FPS at its core, but the two couldn't be more different: Paragon is rendered in three-dimensional glory, but it plays and handles like a MOBA. Heroes move relatively slowly and although landing abilities requires players to aim carefully, the pace of battle is more reserved than the panic-stricken twitching of a dedicated shooter.
This more relaxed tempo is all to Paragon's credit. In my four hours of skirmishing, it was striking how natural and familiar the whole experience felt. Third-person action wedded to MOBA mechanics could have easily resulted in a chaotic mess, but Epic has gone to great lengths to keep the action readable. The generous distance between camera and player, coupled with more glacial handling, ensures that fights are, for the most part, visually comprehensible.
Super bowl
The MOBA format works here thanks to something that could easily go overlooked: the shape of the map.
As most MOBAs are isometric, vision of the map rarely proves a problem, but third-perspective doesn't generally allow broad vantage points for sprawling vistas. In response, Paragon's arena has been constructed as a bowl. Both bases are on the highest points on the map, which then dips in the middle, forming a gargantuan valley.
This configuration ensures that players can spot opponents, weak towers, or even large minion waves from a long way off, and also makes the deployment of long range abilities possible in most situations.
Welcome to the jungle
The area between lanes, known as the jungle, is usually populated by neutral monster camps that can be killed for experience, and Paragon is no different. Ambushes on lone players (otherwise known as 'ganks') can be pulled off as they move between lanes hoping to outmaneuver their foes.
Paragon doesn't have a fog of war, so in order to keep this dangerous area of the map occluded, the jungle has been lowered beneath the height of the lanes and is obscured by foliage that keeps any movement within a secret. It's a simple, but highly effective solution that retains the area's high-risk mechanics without disturbing the map's carefully constructed shape.

By Vo Ha Duyen, Nguyen Quang Hung, Nguyen Thi Phuong Nga
May 2015
One year after the Prime Minister approved Vietnam's Project for the Development of the Derivative Securities Market, the Government issued the long-awaited Decree 42/2015/ND-CP on derivative securities ("DS") and the DS market ("Decree 42"). Decree 42 outlines the basic legal framework for a futures exchange tentatively to be developed in 2016 in Vietnam. Vietnam's stock exchanges are working on the technical infrastructure to put this DS trading system into operation. This briefing summarizes important contents of Decree 42.
Only the following types of DS are recognized:
which underlying assets are listed securities.
The settlement of payment for a trade of listed DS must be made via clearing members and Vietnam Securities Depository ("VSD") as the central clearing house and must comply with Decree 42.
The settlement of payment for an over-the-counter ("OTC") trade of DS need not be made via VSD unless otherwise agreed by the trading parties. Nevertheless, the parties are required to notify VSD of the intended OTC trade and report to VSD of the completed OTC trade in writing.
Stock exchanges are generally empowered to prescribe specific trading limitations for DS.
Any person may invest in DS except that certain institutional organizations may have to satisfy certain requirements as follows before they can invest in DS for their own account.
A securities company must have a certificate of satisfaction of the DS dealer conditions issued by the State Securities Commission of Vietnam ("SSC"). The minimum equity capital requirement for being granted this certificate is VND600 billion.
A fund management company may only use entrusted funds to invest in DS if its portfolio management contracts and the charters of the funds it manages permit the use of those funds to invest in DS. A fund management company may not use its own funds, even loan capital, to invest in DS.
A credit institution or a branch of a foreign bank may only invest in DS if it has the State Bank of Vietnam ("SBV")'s license for DS trading.
An insurance firm or a branch of a foreign insurance firm may only invest in DS if it has the Ministry of Finance ("MOF")'s license for DS trading.
A State economic group or corporation, state-owned enterprise or wholly state-owned enterprise may only invest in DS if permitted by the relevant supervising authority and its owner.
Service vendors
A direct clearing member may only provide settlement and clearing services for its clients.
A common clearing member may provide settlement and clearing services for its clients and also for non-clearing trading members and clients of those non-clearing trading members.
Additionally, a clearing member must also satisfy certain business results and capital adequacy requirements amongst others to be stipulated by the MOF in a future implementing circular.
Decree 42 refers to "commercial banks" and "commercial banks, branches of foreign banks" at different instances and it is confusing whether references to "commercial banks" where not accompanied with "branches of foreign banks" also intend to cover "branches of foreign banks." It seems however that the intent of Decree 42 is to give "branch of foreign bank" the same treatment as "commercial bank" in almost instances, except where limited by other regulations. This hopefully will be clarified in implementing circulars.
Members of the DS Trading System
Decree 42 recognizes three types of professional members of a DS trading system:
A trading member can be a clearing member or a non-clearing trading member.

Avondvierdaagse Day 1
Meppel Travel Blog› entry 73 of 86 › view all entries
The avondvierdaagse is a four day walking festival which is held in Meppel every year in early June. The first day was Monday the 8th this year. Reagan participated in the whole thing with lots of kids from all the schools in Meppel. In total there were 2300 kids!
First there was the wait on the Kerkplein, the main square in town, where some of the schools gathered. There was a great atmosphere as the kids were excited about the walk, being together at night, being allowed to eat sweets after dinner and the prospect of going to bed late. The weather was great, it was 22 degrees around the time they left at 18.30. Reagan, who is six years old, was walking the 5 kilometer walk.
A lot of people were waiting along the route to encourage the kids and there was a lot of clapping and shouting when they passed by. The kids looked really proud, it was great to see. The neighbours and I finally just sat around chatting and drinking coffee, enjoying the wonderful weather, until it was time to pick the kids up again. Reagan had had a great time but her feet were a little sore...

Deaths of mom and daughter probed in Spring
Postpartum depression possibly a motive in fatal stabbing, shooting
Published 6:30 am, Tuesday, November 9, 2010
Montgomery County sheriff's investigators are looking at several motivations including postpartum depression for possibly spurring a mother of four children into fatally stabbing her oldest daughter and then killing herself in the Timber Ridge subdivision in Spring.
Officials said Yolanda Facio, 47, died early Monday morning from what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head in the 3300 block of Gary Lane. Her body was discovered on the floor of the master bedroom not far from where her youngest child, born five months ago, lay unharmed in a bassinet.
Her eldest, Delissa Faclia Facio, 25, was lying in the hall, bleeding profusely after being stabbed once in the chest with a kitchen knife, investigators said. She died soon after being rushed to a hospital in The Woodlands.
Yolanda Facio had recently separated from her husband who was the father of all her children, authorities said. Her husband, Juan, 45, owns a paint and body shop, and his wife worked as his secretary and bookkeeper.
Authorities are unsure what the mother's motives were in the killings. The only other person at home at the time of the incident — another grown daughter, age 24 - never heard any arguing and knew of no reason that her mother would take her sister's life, said Lt. Bill Bucks.
The 24-year-old recalled being awakened by screaming about 2 a.m. and then rushing to assist her sister. "At first, the 24-year-old thought her sister had simply collapsed. But then she became aware of all the blood and knew something was terribly wrong," Bucks said. "So she rushed from the house to call 911 for help. She also alerted her father and brother who had moved to Houston."
The 24-year-old did not see her mother or hear the gunshot that occurred in the master bedroom after she left the house, authorities said.
The two bodies have been transported to a morgue in Dallas for autopsies.
"We are continuing to interview family members. We have some theories but don't want to talk about them yet," Bucks said.

It is no mystery that back in 2004 A.J. Kaufmann stayed for a while at the House of a well-known and respected German artist, Mr. Johann Gottlob von Wrochem. It is through his Library, that the young Mr. Kaufmann got first introduced to James Joyce, Irving Layton, Charles Baudelaire, and other writers essential to shaping the future style of A.J.'s own writing, if, indeed, any writing can be called your "own" (hats off to Brion Gysin). A.J. kept the Zehlendorf notebooks for 10 years, adding/removing various notes as time moved on.
These writings are of no great quality, or importance, but nostalgic one.
"I don't like nostalgia unless it's mine." – Lou Reed
In the PDF files we can find A.J. own attempts at poetry, lines copied from various Canadian poetry anthologies (or Junky, or Finnegans Wake) and put together in new order (to shape imaginary song lyrics), some black metal lyrics (oh yes!), some anarcho-punk chaos, some hints at the future beauty explored for example in "Satori in Berlin", lots of dada absurd, lots of magic, ideas for future songs (A.J. recorded "Strangers Again" for 2015's "Psych Me Noir), some politics (but not too much, as A.J. loathes them), and tales of Love in Golden Stockings, which must have occurred since it was in Berlin where A.J. bought his first Miles Davis and Sun Ra CDs. We can also trace the beginnings of A.J.'s growing love for Robert Calvert and the whole sci-fi poetry thing in tales of space age secret agents and such.
Both PDF files cost €2.90.
If you grabbed A.J.'s earlier chapbooks, for example those published by Kendra Steiner Editions, or Virgogray Press, you might find these files interesting, or even eye-opening. If not, it's best you keep away.
"Jewel that I thought I've seen before
Eye of night I've stumbled upon first
Should belong to me, but coward's side
Triumphed again
Triumphed against my will
Night begins
Now the night begins
Coward flees
Now the coward flees
Death is just a pleasant winter kiss
Death or this tomorrow on your knees"

TaTonka the dog died today
My heart is breaking for Karen and TaTonka. Just yesterday Karen and I took TaTonka for a drive and a walk. She seemed fine, as rambunctious and happy as ever. She crawled all over me in the car and gave me the sweetest kisses. Karen, I'm so, so sorry for you. Here is her obituary, In memory TaTonka 2005-2006 Bluffton Today friend and canine columnist, TaTonka, died Thursday. TaTonka was born last spring to a stray mother in Jasper County. When the puppies were taken away from their mother, put in the trunk of a car and dumped at the Jasper Animal Rescue Mission. TaTonka was bottle-fed by two Bluffton Today staffers and then taken into foster care by Karen and Dwane Wilkins in Ridgeland. As the runt of her litter, TaTonka seemed mostly blind and needed extra attention. But whatever she lacked in size, she made up with heart and the Wilkins quickly fell in love with her. They adopted her and lavished her with love. With the help of her human mom, TaTonka even became a Bluffton Today columnist and often shared stories about daily musings at Maranatha Farm. She also inspired her people to take an active role in animal rescue. The tiny Rotwiller mix had a mow-hawk and often sported fashionable spiked collars. Earlier this week, the Wilkins noticed a fast growing lump on TaTonka's neck. Karen Wilkins took her to a Hilton Head Island veterinarian who recommended its removal. TaTonka died while under anesthesia. She was the third dog from her litter to die of cardiac arrest. To make a donation in TaTonka's memory, please send a check to Jasper Animal Rescue Mission, 404 Carters Mill Road , Ridgeland, SC 29936

Failure To Farm
September 19, 2000
When Congress passed the 1996 Freedom to Farm Act, price supports, land set-asides and other aid to farmers were costing taxpayers $7.3 billion a year. The overhaul of the depression-era price support programs was supposed to wean farmers from government subsidies by allowing them to switch among any of seven so-called program crops, while continuing to receive some government payments. However, this year, the government is expected to pay farmers $22.7 billion, more than triple that amount.
Observers suggest the reforms have failed because:
- The program was passed when crop prices were at 10-year highs; since then prices have been lower four years in a row.
- Instead of eliminating the subsidies, the law wound up simply encouraging farmers to produce even more, sending prices into a deep slump.
- As a result, subsidies now account for 40 percent of farmers' net cash income.
And those farmers who were unable to contribute to the glut due to drought are receiving disaster assistance, which at $8.9 billion accounts for more than a third of the subsidies.
Analysts say the reforms have failed because: farmers were limited to program or commodity crops -- such as wheat, corn, cotton and soybeans -- rather than being encouraged to shift to other, unsubsidized crops; Congress has increased subsidies whenever prices faltered, eliminating the need for farmers to change their practices; and since inefficient farm operations were protected by a generous "safety net," they had no incentive to consolidate into more efficient, profitable units.

The trait theory of leadership is one of the oldest theories of leadership that is around today. It is based on one simple concept: that people are born with natural talents that allow them to lead. There are certain personal attributes, which we would call traits, that put people into a natural position of leadership. It can be a combination of their physical characteristics, their personality, and even their core competencies and values.
All of it boils down to one assumption. Traits are something that have an enduring quality to them that remain stable over time, but are still something that comes naturally instead of through skill building.
The Trait Theory of Leadership Isn't a Full Leadership Theory
This theory of leadership came about as a response to the Great Man theory. The first ideas of leadership were that certain people were just born to lead. Call it fate, God, science, or circumstance, there were people who were born to be leaders and they would be a magnetic draw to those who weren't born to be leaders.
What the trait theory says is that natural talents and traits are granted to people at birth. People are born with certain leadership skills that allow them to take charge of a situation, but in a one-dimensional way. Most of the research done in this leadership theory was to distinguish what made people leaders and what made people followers.
The initial research turned up something surprising: only a few traits were different when compared to followers. Most of the differences were small. Just tiny variances of intelligence, height, and self-confidence were found. To make matters even more strange, researchers found that physical traits weren't always a precursor to leadership abilities.
What Are the Traits That Define a Leader?
This brought the trait theory of leadership toward a different type of philosophy. Maybe there would be certain characteristic traits that would make people become better leaders than others. Researchers looked into various traits to see what would make leaders become strong and found that there was a certain level of decisiveness, competence, and people skills involved in the best leaders that others did not have.
Recent approaches to this theory are also looking at behaviors. This is an indicator of a leader's overall emotional stability. Feelings lead to behaviors and it is the behaviors that lead to thoughts. By studying the common characteristics of leaders and then comparing it to their behaviors, this theory of leadership looks to show how traits can vary from day to day based on numerous physical and emotional factors. Not getting enough sleep at night, for example, could affect the leadership traits for any given day.
Trait leadership theories were the next stepping stone in the development of understanding that humanity has about leadership. As this theory continues to expand, we realize that leadership isn't just a simple concept that can be explained in 500 words or less. It's something that is unique to each individual and how they view themselves and their relationships.
