Holiday cottage, Piltdown, East Sussex
This is an exceptional and beautifully restored Oast House which benefits from many traditional period features set in the grounds of the owner's tile hung Sussex farmhouse. Mallingdown Oast enjoys a rural setting with views west over the Sussex Weald towards Fletching. In the summer the doors that once formed the first floor hatch to allow hops to be winched up for drying, can be opened, providing fresh air and views over the garden and countryside to the north. It is a wonderful traditional feature cleverly incorporated in this restoration.
The Oast House sleeps four with a double bedroom and family bathroom, with bath and wall mounted shower attachment, on the ground floor, and twin bedded room and separate cloakroom on the first floor. The bedrooms are located within the turret, a familiar feature of Oast Houses and it just adds to the atmosphere sleeping in a room with circular walls! The galleried living area with exposed roof timbers and leather sofas is a relaxing space to unwind and a couple of low beams just add to the character.
Downstairs the kitchen is comprehensively equipped and in keeping with a considerate restoration, it benefits from underfloor heating throughout.
The private garden area takes in the views to the west where a table and garden chairs provide an outdoor eating area. This is a relaxing and peaceful home in which to stay.
As the galleried living area overlooks the dining area from the first floor, the Oast House is not suitable for families with children under six years of age.
Piltdown is best known for the discovery of a skull and jaw of an early human to become known as 'Piltdown Man' in 1912, which at the time was considered a significant find, but in 1953 was found to be a very elaborate hoax. That aside, Piltdown is in a beautiful area right on the fringes of the Ashdown Forest, with 14,000 acres of lowland heathland that has never been cultivated. It provides a unique habitat for many species of flora and fauna, and of course is the 'home' of Winnie the Pooh!
Fletching only a mile away is the nearest village with picturesque church and local pubs. It backs on to Sheffield Park Gardens, a magnificent internationally renowned 'Capability' Brown landscaped garden, now owned by the National Trust. The gardens offer a profusion of colour all year round with magnificent bluebell displays and azaleas in the spring through to the brilliant autumnal colours.
The Bluebell Railway is right next door to the gardens at Sheffield Park. It is the preservation of a local branch line and runs north through Horsted Keynes to Kingscote recreating life on a branch line over different periods from the Victorian era at Sheffield Park right through to the 1950's at Kingscote Station. The line is soon to reopen to run to East Grinstead and is today one of the major visitor attractions in Southern England. We feature links to both the Bluebell Railway and Sheffield Park Gardens under 'Places to visit' on our website.
Journey south from Mallingdown Oast and Eastbourne and the chalk cliffs at Beachy Head are within a half hour drive. It is a beautiful area in which to stay and there is much to invite you to go and explore.

Am I dumb or what???

I have some questions and I think they are dumb.
Anyway here they go...
I've been trying to add my merchant's banner to free banner exchage site
and it asked me to type:
(The web site URL where you want to send people to. Maximum 150 chars. Must start with http://)
(The URL where your 468X60 banner resides. Maximum 150 chars. Must start with http://).
I loged onto merchant's member area and copied the banner code,it's pretty lengthy:

I'd like to send people to www.disciplescross.com and the banner resides in same URL.My question is if I type the URL above by itself how my merchant is going to know which affiliate's benner was...since there is no ID#'s and stuff...I currently don't have my website and I want to link directly to a product page at my merchants site. Can I do that? If so, how do I go about doing it?
Sorry about the lengthy post and any feed back would be welcome!
Have a great day!

1) You should check with the merchant first to see if they allow you do use traffic exchanges that place their ads on sites that you have no control over.
2) The URL contains your ID number, assuming that you are "3009"
3) If you do not have a website, you will not get any traffic from a banner exchange, as it is an exchange: "You show ours this many times on your site, and we'll show yours this many times on our site"
July 23rd, 2005, 12:48 AM #3
There are three URL's listed above, not one.
The banner location URL and the link URL to refer someone through are not the same. Affiliate codes are in the link - not the banner location url.
So the link is whatever the merchant tells you is your affiliate link. It's the first url you listed.
The banner location is the second url you listed - the image source.
I think I got it but someone may correct me. Try it, in any case.
July 23rd, 2005, 12:51 AM #4That's a scam!
First, make sure your merchant's TOS allows you to run their banners through an exchange. Many don't allow that due to the possibility of having ads end up on sites they don't want to be associated with.
I currently don't have my website and I want to link directly to a product page at my merchants site. Can I do that?
I just looked at that site. One of those "work at home doing crafts and make a bundle" deals. Most, if not all, of those do-crafts-make-fortune type things are scams. So they probably wouldn't have a problem with the possibility of their ad showing up on a non-family-friendly site!
Sure enough--a quick Google for, "John Raymond" scam, brings up THIS, from RipOffReport.com:
You buy supplies for 100 crosses, there is no way to make 100 crosses. You will bend at least 10% of the nails incorrectly and scratch the wires. So you spend $100 on supplies and make about 80 crosses and mail it to them. They reject 75 crosses. Send you back 75 crosses and deduct the shipping costs off the 5 crosses they decide to accept.
Stay away from this scam!!! They will not return your money when you return the starter kit and supplies. Make sure to mail back what you ordered and dispute them on your credit card. They are counting on people just to keep the start kits and supplies and give up on their money.
This company has had a pattern of complaints involving refunds or exchanges.
The number and type of complaints are not unusual for a company in this industry.
From the FTC.gov's page on work-at-home schemes (scroll down, about halfway down the page, at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/invest/homewrk.htm ):
Assembly or craft work. These programs often require you to invest hundreds of dollars in equipment or supplies. Or they require you to spend many hours producing goods for a company that has promised to buy them. For example, you might have to buy a sewing or sign-making machine from the company, or materials to make items like aprons, baby shoes or plastic signs. However, after you've purchased the supplies or equipment and performed the work, fraudulent operators don't pay you. In fact, many consumers have had companies refuse to pay for their work because it didn't meet "quality standards."
Unfortunately, no work is ever "up to standard," leaving workers with relatively expensive equipment and supplies - and no income. To sell their goods, these workers must find their own customers.There is no knowledge that is not power. ~Hemingway

"Are there any TRUE,GENUINE WORK FROM HOME???"
There's this thing called affiliate marketing. I hear lots of people work from home doing it
"I currently don't have my website"
That would be Step 1.

Like Trust said, affiliate marketing is good (overall). While some crooks do sneak into the industry (and generate a lot of noise and complaints here), there are enough legit players to keep many of us, including me, away from having to do empl*yment.
Since you're brand new, I will suggest you read some of the other threads here in the Newbie FAQs area, first. There's too much info to try to explain it all in one or even a few posts. Remember that what shows on the first screen of a forum here usually is not all there is to see! You may have to go through a few pages to find the threads relevant to the questions you'll probably have...
I will say, though, that while getting rich or making a substantial amount IS very possible, don't expect "quick" to be a part of it unless you're really lucky. It's fairly fast--compared to trying to get wealth out of a "real job"--but certainly not presto-magico...
Another thing I'll let you know is, a legit affiliate program WILL NOT charge you to participate, or make you buy "supplies," or any of that kind of thing. Joining a legit merchant's program is free--legit merchants don't charge you to join up. The payments flow from them to you--not the other way around. You provide buying customers, they provide you with money...
The one expense that actually comes with the territory is domain names and hosting--you do need to have a website--but you don't have to get that at any particular place. Legit merchants won't try to force you to buy their hosting/web design/etc.
"I currently don't have my website"
That would be Step 1.There is no knowledge that is not power. ~Hemingway

Seems like you should make a site about all the scams you have tried that failed. Bet you would get a lot of traffic and could make some money off adsense or by directing ppl to legit deals.

I have been doing just that since 1997.
My recommendations would be.
Do a personal evaluation and document your strengths/weaknesses.
If you have a passion or ability for something, use it as a base for your website.
Turning a hobby into a business is a good way to start.
I started by doing in home and computer repairs and web design from a commercial mall in '96 and built an internet presence that was generating enough to abandon the mall location in '97.
Web design led to hosting, SEO, management, marketing, database management/design, security, and 100 other facets of running an online business.
I lease servers, (We just got the third on Friday - an 80 gig co-located to use for more hosting.)
I sell products, Top Level Domain icons, Swarovski Crystals, Children's Books, Graphic Filters, and more. Some of my sites offer associate sales programs.
I sell services, Web Design, Management, Business Management, and related.
Define what you want to do.
Build a website around it.
Pick affiliate programs to promote that are complementary to your site.
Promote your site constantly.
Good Luck.

Hartmut, a jazz and classical pianist, influenced by Indian, Spanish and classical European music has offered an evening of piano impressions at Pitanga last night. The audience had a chance to listen to his own compositions which had grown and developed throughout years of his musical journeys. Quite fast, and very much vibrant, energetic tunes trying to capture an idea, a thought, and rushing off it almost instantaneously, like a stream or river following its path toward the ocean, with winds of Mediterranean(maybe) mountains blowing over it

The current Mexican telecommunication services market is still dominated by Telmex and its mobile arm Telcel, with the exception of the pay TV segment, where Televisa has the largest share. In this context, smaller competitors find it hard to capture market share and generate the much needed return on investment.
Over-the-top (OTT) services providers and systems integrators bring further competition in the fight for market share, creating a complex scenario within a mature market.
According to the Mexico Total Telecommunications Services Market, a new analysis from Frost & Sullivan's Digital Transformation team, the market earned revenues of $26.9 billion in 2015 and is expected to reach $31 billion in 2021. Regulators have been trying to curb the dominance of Telmex and Telcel with only limited success. However, the recent merge between Axtel and Alestra brings a new and more powerful competitor into the marketplace.
"Although the regulatory effort to curve down Telmex/Telcel dominance over the Mexican market is still underway," explains Ignacio Perrone, Digital Transformation Industry Manager for Frost & Sullivan, "the competitive landscape has already been revitalized, in particular with the entrance of AT&T into the mobile segment and the merge of Axtel and Alestra, which gave birth to a more solid competitor with a solid customer base combining residential and enterprise customers."
To request complimentary information on this analysis and to register for a Growth Strategy Dialogue, please click here or send an e-mail to Francesca Valente, Corporate Communications: [email protected]
"Despite CAGR growing at single digits in all the segments, specific technologies or services in each segment present higher growth rates," says Perrone. "Thus, mobile data is expected to grow at double digits, while mobile voice is already declining. Among fixed-broadband technologies, ADSL is losing share, while cable modem and FTTH are growing steadily. In the Pay TV segment, CATV is expected to decline, while DTH and IPTV will continue to grow. Data communications technologies present a very diverse scenario, with Metro Ethernet growing at double-digit rates, while circuits and private lines are declining. The only exception is fixed telephony, where all services—local voice and international long distance—are decreasing."
With the traditional services market considered to be mature, service providers are likely to find more success for growth in less penetrated markets, such as pay TV and data communications. In pay TV, specifically, over-the-top services are increasing adoption and stimulating price repositioning of traditional services. In data communications, the small and medium-sized business segment is driving growth, as large enterprises are already saturated. In addition, telecom players continue to invest in network expansion and upgrades, while looking toward new revenue sources such as mobile data, fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), Internet protocol television (IPTV) and value-added services.

And when any man will offer a meat offering unto the Lord,
&c.] Or, "when a soul", and which Onkelos renders "a man", so called from his more noble part; and, as the Jews say, this word is used because the Minchah, or meat offering here spoken of, was a freewill offering, and was offered up with all the heart and soul; and one that offered in this manner, it was all one as if he offered his soul to the Lord F19: there were some meat offerings which were appointed and fixed at certain times, and were obliged to be offered, as at the daily sacrifice, the consecration of priests, the waving of the sheaf ( Exodus 29:40 Exodus 29:41 ) ( Leviticus 6:20 ) ( 23:13 ) but this was a freewill offering; wherefore it is said, "when any man will offer"; the Hebrew word (hxnm) , "a meat offering", may be derived from (hxn) , "to bring" or "offer", and so is a name common to offerings of any sort; or from (xynh) , to "recreate" and delight, it being of a sweet savour to the Lord, as other offerings were; others derive it from (xnm) , a root not in use, and in the Chaldee language signifies a gift or present, in which sense this word is used, ( Genesis 32:13 Genesis 32:20 )
his offering shall be of fine flour;
of flour of wheat, ( Exodus 29:2 ) for, as the Jews say, there is no fine flour but wheat, and this was for the meat offering, ( 1 Chronicles 21:23 ) and this was to be of the finest of the wheat; for all offerings, whether private or public, were to be of the best, and to be brought from those places which were noted for having the best; and the best places for fine flour were Mechmas and Mezonicha, and the next to them were Caphariim, in the valley; and though it might be taken out of any part of the land of Israel and used, yet it chiefly came from hence F20; and according to the Jewish writers F21; the least quantity of fine flour used in a meat offering was the tenth part of an ephah, which was about three pints and a half, and a fifth part of half a pint: Christ was prefigured by the meat offering; his sacrifice came in the room of it, and put an end to it, ( Psalms 40:7 Psalms 40:8 ) ( Daniel 9:27 ) whose flesh is meat indeed, the true meat or bread, in distinction from this typical meat offering, ( John 6:55 ) the fine flour denotes the choiceness, excellency, and purity of Christ; the dignity of his person, the superiority of him to angels and men, being the chiefest, and chosen out of ten thousand; the purity of his human nature being free from the bran of original corruption, and the spotlessness of his sacrifice: and fine flour of wheat being that of which bread is made, which is the principal part of human sustenance, and what strengthens the heart of man, and nourishes him, and is the means of maintaining and supporting life; it is a fit emblem of Christ, the bread of life, by which the saints are supported in their spiritual life, and strengthened to perform vital acts, and are nourished up unto everlasting life, and who, as the meat offering, is called the bread of God, ( Leviticus 21:6 Leviticus 21:8 ) ( John 6:33 )
and he shall pour oil upon it;
upon all of it, as Jarchi observes, because it was mingled with it, and it was the best oil that was used; and though it might be brought from any part of the land of Israel, which was a land of oil olive, yet the chief place for oil was Tekoah, and the next to it was Ragab beyond Jordan, and from hence it was usually brought F23; and the common quantity was a log, or half a pint, to a tenth deal of fine flour, as Gersom asserts from the wise men, and to which Maimonides F24 agrees; and Gersom on the place observes, that it is proper that some of the oil should be put in the lower part of the vessel, and after that the fine flour should put in it, and then he should pour some of it upon it and mix it: the oil denotes the grace of the Spirit poured out upon Christ without measure, the oil of gladness, with which he was anointed above his fellows, and from whence he has the name of Messiah or Christ, or Anointed; and with which he was anointed to be prophet, priest, and King, and which renders him very desirable and delightful to his people, his name being as ointment poured forth, ( Psalms 45:7 ) ( Song of Solomon 1:3 )
and put frankincense thereon;
on a part of it, as Jarchi's note is; and according to him, the man that brought the meat offering left an handful of frankincense upon it on one side; and the reason of this was, because it was not to be mixed with it as the oil was, and it was not to be taken in the handful with it F26; and the quantity of the frankincense, as Gersom says, was one handful: this denoted the sweet odour and acceptableness of Christ, the meat offering, both to God and to his people: it is an observation of the Jewish writers, that the pouring out of the oil on the fine flour, and mixing it with it, and putting on the frankincense, might be done by a stranger, by any man, by the man that brought the meat offering, but what follows after the bringing of it to the priest were done by him F1.

HI-TECH Cougars will go through the formalities of sewing up another North Bridge Leisure Centre title on Monday night.
The action resumes after a week off and Carol Crowther's side only need to win their penultimate match to be champions and continue their recent dominance.
Success looks assured as Hi-Tech's opponents are already-relegated Pumas, who have lost all 16 matches this season.
While Pumas have been outclassed and picked up just six losing bonus points, they deserve credit for sticking to their task.
Bigger doubt surrounds the second relegation place with Yo-yos now just one point in front of Arrows.
Yo-yos appear to have the better winning opportunity on Monday against a Towergate side just above them in the table but Arrows are not without hope against an Old Brodleians team likely to throw in more young players after a promotion-winning campaign in the West Yorkshire League.
Division Three teams are also at North Bridge and Innscribe will be looking to nail down second place behind champions TAGS.
MONDAY'S FIXTURES (division in brackets) - At North Bridge: 7.0, Arrows v Old Brodleians (1) and XL v Tiger Vets (3); 7.35, Pumas v Hi-Tech Cougars (1) and Unity v Innscribe (3); 8.10, Towergate v Yo-yos (1) and Jaguars v Sparks (3); 8.45, Jokers v Tigers (1) and Lee Green v TAGS (3); 9.20, Ryburn United v Townies (1) and Halifax v Calder Utd (3).
The Ridings: 7,0, Thundercats v Hillside Services (5); 7.35, Twinkles 2 v Wolves (5); 8.10, Dovetails v Black Jacks (5); 8.45, Jewels v Roxy Rebels (5).
CALDERDALE LEAGUE: Lee Green 36 Blue Mavericks 45, Jets 22 Robins 36, Rockets 22 Saints 47.
AWARD winners at Calderdale Netball Club's presentation were:
Player of the year awards - first team: Sophia Samuels. Seconds: Claire Higgins. Thirds: Hollie Thomas
Best newcomer: Suzanne Forrest. Most improved: Sally Greenwood. Coach's player: Laura Kennedy.

Britain's largest banks are being pushed into a mobile banking revolution.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has announced new rules requiring that customers have access to details of their entire financial account through a single mobile app. The new system must be implemented by 2018.
Other traditionally branch-based services will also be made available directly through smartphones. Banks have been told that customers must be able to apply for loans, overdrafts and mortgages through their mobile phone.
Market competition will be strongly affected by customer ability to access all finances in one place – including accounts and mortgages managed by different providers. This will allow customers to compare rates and rapidly move money which they perceive is getting a poorer deal.
Conrad Ford, chief executive at Funding Options, commented:
"Once open banking is up-and-running, new entrants will be able to enter the financial services market far more easily, whether brand new technology startups, or major technology players like Amazon."
Aside from being a customer friendly move, the technology revolution will make the financial services market more accessible to new players.

So many places. Ideas permeate the world around us.
If you're looking for topics on which to write about, scour the news for fresh ideas on how to do something....like How to Prevent Cavities, or How to Shop for Six-Year-Olds.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
Ideas for what? Hubs?
Lots of places. I look through the questions to see what people are asking about. I read hubs in areas I am interested in and sometimes an idea for a different slant on something comes to me. Other question sites on the internet are a source of ideas. I also look through google key words tool to see what people are searching for.
In terms of ideas "coming" to me, I think sometimes you just have to sit (or lie) still, doing absolutely nothing. No radio, no tv, no computer, no books, nobody talking to you - just letting your mind wander. It was easier when I was younger, daydreaming doesn't seem to be as easy these days :( but when nothing is distracting you and you just let your mind wander where it wills, some pretty good ideas (or solutions to problems that have been bothering you for a while) can just pop into your head.
You can do this deliberately just before bed time. If you have a problem to solve, then have a think about it, looking at all angles, without stressing out over it. Then put a pencil and paper beside your bed and put the problem right out of your mind. Tell yourself that you will have a solution to it in the morning and relax and go to sleep. (Just telling yourself that you will have a solution can help to de-stress you if the problem has really been worrying you.) In the morning, you should have an idea about how you can solve it, or at least move it forward. The paper and pen is if you wake up in the night with a sudden blinding flash of inspiration, so you can write it down and not forget it - believe me, that can happen!

So what if there are a few typos in your script?
Why get so anal about it? I will tell you why. Number one, it interrupts your story. Number two, it makes you look unprofessional.
Imagine you're walking along a verdant hiking trail. The sun is shining. You can feel it's warmth on your skin. A slight breeze is blowing. Suddenly, someone runs past you wearing the most obnoxious colored running shoes. You laugh to yourself. Then, you notice a grey squirrel run up a tree, trip over a tree root and fall flat on your face. That is what it's ike when someone reading your script comes upon a typo. Your are reading along, getting into the emotion and action of the story...and then you have to stop to figure out what the writer really meant. Bottom line: It takes you out of the story. You try to figure it out, or hope you figure out correctly what the writer meant, and then continue on…until the next typo.
This profession is tough enough. You want to give yourself every advantage. Help your reader, if you are lucky enough to get someone to read your script, to stay in your story.
There's a thing called "spell check." As such, it amazes me how many typos I still come across, even in synopses and pitches. You're a writer; words are the tools of your trade. You should know the difference between "your" & "you're"; "there" & "their" and "it's" & "its." Look, I know it's tough, you read your own script so many times it's easy to gloss over certain passages. So have your mom, husband, wife, best friend, or a total stranger read your script for typos.
If not, you risk loosing your reader. Spelling intended.

In her book "Teaching Problems and the Problems of Teaching", master educator Magadalene Lampert gives us a glimpse of what great teaching looks like. She has practiced this herself in her math classroom and she has also developed programs at the University of Michigan and other institutions to help others become better teachers.
At its core the practice of teaching involves a teacher doing something with a student around some content to be learned. In her book, Lampert thoroughly describes exactly what the practice of teaching involves. These practices can be categorized as those between:
teacher and student – the teacher develops and deepens her relationship with the student
teacher and content – the teacher knows the content and how to teach the content
student and content – the student learns, understands and can use the content
teacher and student's learning – the teacher helps the student understand the content
At the University of Michigan, the following high leverage teaching practices have been identified:
1.Making content explicit through explanation, modeling, representations, and examples
2.Leading a whole-class discussion
3.Eliciting and interpreting individual students' thinking
4.Establishing norms and routines for classroom discourse central to the subject-matter domain
5.Recognizing particular common patterns of student thinking in a subject-matter domain
6.Identifying and implementing an instructional response to common patterns of student thinking
7.Teaching a lesson or segment of instruction
8.Implementing organizational routines, procedures, and strategies to support a learning environment
9.Setting up and managing small group work
10.Engaging in strategic relationship-building conversations with students
11.Setting long- and short-term learning goals for students referenced to external benchmarks
12.Appraising, choosing, and modifying tasks and texts for a specific learning goal
13.Designing a sequence of lessons toward a specific learning goal
14.Selecting and using particular methods to check understanding and monitor student learning
15.Composing, selecting, interpreting, and using information from methods of summative assessment
16.Providing oral and written feedback to students on their work
17.Communicating about a student with a parent or guardian
18.Analyzing instruction for the purpose of improving it
19.Communicating with other professionals
Using and improving these 19 practices are at the heart of great teaching, but at the same time they illustrate that it's not a walk in the park. Please visit the University of Michigan site and pick up a copy of Lampert's book to understand how to move towards great teaching.

Golden Snail
Prince Raden Putra and Dewi Limaran were husband and wife. They lived in a palace. Prince Raden Putra's father was the king of the kingdom.
One day, Dewi Limaran was walking around in the palace garden. Suddenly she saw a snail. It was ugly and disgusting. "Yuck!" said Dewi Limaran and then she threw it away into a river. She did not know that the snail was actually an old and powerful witch. She could transform herself into anything. The witch was angry to Dewi Limaran. The witch put a spell on her and changed her into a golden snail. The witch then threw it away into the river.
The golden snail was drifting away in the river and got caught into a net. An old woman was fishing and used her net to catch some fish. She was surprised to see a golden snail in her net. She took it and brought it home. When the old woman woke up in the morning, she was surprised that the house was in the good condition. The floor was mopped. And she also had food on the table. She was thinking very hard. "Who did this to me? The person is very kind." It happened again and again every morning.
The old woman was very curious. One night she decided to stay up late. She was peeping from her room to know who cooked for her. Then, she could not believe what she saw. The golden snail she caught in the river turned into a beautiful woman. The old woman approached her. "Who are you, young girl?" "I am Dewi Limaran, Ma'am. A witch cursed me. I can change back as a human only at night," explained Dewi Limaran. "The spell can be broken if I hear the melody from the holy gamelan," continued Dewi Limaran. The old woman then rushed to the palace. She talked to Prince Raden Putra about her wife. Prince Raden Putra was so happy. He had been looking for his wife everywhere.
He then prayed and meditated. He asked the gods to give him the holy gamelan. He wanted to break the witch's spell. After several days praying and meditating, finally gods granted his wish. He immediately brought the holy gamelan to the old woman's house. He played it beautifully. And then amazingly the golden snail turned into the beautiful Dewi Limaran. The couple was so happy that they could be together again. They also thanked the old woman for her kindness. As a return, they asked her to stay in the palace.
Golden Cucumber
Once upon a time, not far from a jungle, lived husband and a wife. The were farmers. The were diligent farmers and always worked hard on the paddy fields. They had been married for many years and still not have a child yet. Everyday they prayed and prayed for a child.
One night, while they were praying, a giant passed their house. The giant heard they pray. "Don't worry farmers. I can give you a child. But you have to give me that child when she is 17 years old," said the giant.
The farmers were so happy. They did not think about the risk of losing their child later and agree to take the offer. Later, the giant gave them a bunch of cucumber seeds. The farmers planted them carefully. Then the seeds changed into plants.
Not longer after that, a big golden cucumber grew from plants. After it had ripe, the farmers picked and cut it. They were very surprised to see beautiful girl inside the cucumber. They named her Timun Mas or Golden Cucumber. Years passed by and Timun Mas has changed into a beautiful girl.
On her 17th birthday, Timun Mas was very happy. However, the parents were very sad. They knew they had to keep their promise to the giant but they also did not want to lose their beloved daughter. "My daughter, take this bag. It can save you from the giant," said the father. "What do you mean, Father? I don't understand," said Timun Mas.
Right after that, the giant came into their house. "Run Timun Mas. Save your life!" said the mother. The giant was angry. He knew the farmers wanted to break their promise. He chased Timun Mas away. The giant was getting closer and closer.
Timun Mas then opened the bag and threw a handful of salt. It became sea. The giant had to swim to cross the sea. Later, Timun Mas threw some chilly. It became a jungle with trees. The trees had sharp thorns so they hurt the giant.
However, the giant was still able to chase Timun Mas. Timun Mas took her third magic stuff. It was cucumber seeds. She threw them and became cucumber field. B
ut the giant still could escape from the field. Then it was the last magic stuff she had in the bag. It was a shrimp paste, terasi. She threw it and became a big swamp.
The giant was still trying to swim the swamp but he was very tired. Then he was drowning and died. Timun Mas then immediately went home. The farmers were so happy that they finally together again.
Bawang Merah Bawang Putih
In village, live a widow with her two beautiful daughters, Bawang Merah (Red Onion) and Bawang Putih (White Garlic). Bawang Putih's real father which was also the widows's husband died long ago. Bawang Merah and Bawang Putih had opposite characters and personalities. Bawang Putih was diligent, kind, honest and humble girl. Meanwhile, Bawang merah was lazy, glamorous, proud and envious girl. Bawang Merah's bad personality was worsened because her mother spoiled her. The widow always gave her everything she wanted. It was Bawang Putih who did all the works in the house. Doing the laundry, cooking, cleaning, essentially all works were carried out by herself. Meanwhile, Bawang Merah and the widow just spent times making themselves up, because when they needed something they could just ask Bawang Putih.
Bawang Putih never complained the bad fate she had to face. She always served her step-mother and sister happily. One day, Bawang Putih was doing her step-mother and sister's laundry. Bawang Putih didn't realize it when a piece of cloth belonged to her mother was washed away by the river. How sad was she, thinking that if the cloth couldn't be found she would be blamed, and it wasn't impossible that she would bu punished and expelled from home.
Being afraid that her mother cloth could not be found, Bawang Putih kept looking and walked along the river with its strong current. Every time she saw someone by the river, she always asked him or her about her mother's cloth which was washed away by the river, but everyone didn't know where the cloth was. Eventually Bawang Putih came to a place where the river flowed into a cave. Surprisingly, there was a very old woman in the cave. Bawang Putih asked the old woman if she knew of the cloth whereabouts. The woman knew where the cloth was, but she made a condition before she handed it to Bawang Putih. The condition was that she had to work assisting the old woman. Bawang Putih was used to working hard so that her work pleased the old woman.
It was late afternoon and Bawang Putih was saying goodbye to the old woman. The woman handed the cloth to her. because of her kindness, the old woman offered her a gift of pumpkins. There were two of them, one was larger than the other. Bawang Putih was asked to choose the gift she wanted. She wasn't greedy, there she chose the smaller one.
Returning home, the Step-Mother and Bawang Merah were furious because Bawang Putih was late. She told them what happened from the time her mother's cloth was washed away until her encounter with the old woman in the cave. Her step-mother was still furious because she was already late and only brought one small pumkin, so the mother smashed the pumpkin to the ground. "Whack…" and the pumpkin was broken, but it was miraculous that in the pumpkin there were beautiful golden, jewel, and diamond ornaments. The Widow and Bawang Merah were very schocked. They could get very rich with that much jewelry. But greedy they were, they yelled at Bawang Putih asking why she didn't take the large pumkin instead. In the Widow and Bawang Merah's minds, if the larger pumpkin was taken, they should get much more jewelry.
Fulfilling their greed, Bawang Merah folowed the steps told by Bawang Putih. She wilingly drifted her mother's cloth, walked along the river, asked people and eventually came to the cave where the old woman lived. Unlike Bawang Putih, however, bawang Merah refused the old woman's order to work and She even arrogantly ordered the old woman to give her the larger pumpkin. And so the old woman gave it to Bawang Merah.
Bawang Merah happily brought the pumpkin that the old woman gave, while imagining how much jewelry she would get. Returning home, the Widow welcomed her beloved daughter. Not waiting for long, the pumpkin was smashed to the ground, "whack …" but instead of the jewelry, appeared various terrifying snakes. The Widow and Bawang Merah finally realized what they did all this time was wrong and asked Bawang Putih to forgive them.

We are heading up to Canada next month and my guidebook recommends a spot to buy fresh oysters so as to roast them over hot coals. Well our (car camping) campground will have a fire pit so we can make a campfire, and we have a little propane burner. But we won't have a grill so charcoal is out. I love the idea of eating fresh oysters without having to learn how to shuck them (shucking seems really difficult). Can I cook 'em enough to have them open just using a frying pan on a burner? Or should I build a fire and use that?
Help is appreciated!

THE Macedonian president urged the country's MPs last night to vote for the peace plan or face all-out war.
In an impassioned speech, President Boris Trajkovski told parliament: "This agreement is not perfect, no agreement can be. But it is the best that we can have now. The alternative is total war."
Surrounded by riot police and under siege from hundreds of nationalist protesters, Macedonia's parliament convened to begin debating the provisions of the plan.
The debate was called after Maj Gen Gunnar Lange, head of Nato's Operation Essential Harvest, formally announced that the mission had collected more than 1,100 guns from Albanian rebels, a third of the total.
Mr Trajkovski warned the rebel National Liberation Army that if it did not disband as promised, its men would be dealt with harshly.
He said: "All armed extremists, if they don't leave Macedonia after Operation Essential Harvest is complete, will be expelled or eliminated by the Macedonian security forces."
Calling on the world to play a greater role in securing peace in Macedonia, Mr Trajkovski requested the return of a United Nations peace force stationed in the country in the 1990s.
He also called for international recognition of Macedonia as the country's name. In official circles it is still referred to as the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia at the insistence of Greece, which has a province called Macedonia.
As Mr Trajkovski spoke, hundreds of nationalists gathered outside the parliament building, denouncing the country's leaders as traitors and chanting: "Albanians, Albanians."
A banner read: "Nato objective: Albanisation of Macedonia." Another said: "Nato intruders."
Youths draped in red and yellow, the national colours, broke paving stones in a park in front of the building, preparing for violence. One man hurled a stone at the window of a nearby shop as the crowd roared approval.
Riot police carrying truncheons formed a cordon around the parliament, but they appeared nervous and ill-equipped. After a similar demonstration earlier this summer, nationalists, some armed, stormed the building, breaking into the entrance halls.
For Macedonians the parliamentary motion to give Albanians greater language rights and better representation in the police is the most controversial measure in the 10 years since the country broke away from Yugoslavia.
Many are angry that their government has caved in to international pressure and called off military operations against the guerrillas, whom they view as terrorists.
A parliamentary session had to be postponed earlier in the day when demonstrators prevented MPs from reaching the building. Diplomats said the next month would be crucial for peace.
If the motion to begin discussing the peace agreement passes by a majority of two thirds in a vote expected on Tuesday, the rebels will be required to hand in the rest of their arms.
The crucial stage of the process, if it does not fail before, will come in about three weeks, once the weapons handover is complete. A senior diplomat said: "We're trying to make them understand that the alternative is a very bloody war."

When Prince George of Cambridge was born on 22 July 2013, much of the press speculation centred around what name would be given to the 3rd in line to the British throne. Once that matter was settled, discussion moved on as to what familiar names might be given to the grandparents, fuelled partly by Camilla, […]more
What is a second cousin? and other cousin questions
It would always throw people when we told them. The four of us – my sister and I, and the two boys – spent all our school holidays together, and we all had dark hair. So when people asked if my "brothers" wanted an ice cream too, I'd have to take a deep breath and […]more

The 9th annual New Orleans Jewish Film Festival presents several intriguing films about identity and survival. The Ritchie Boys (7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 19, Nunemaker Auditorium; 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 22; Roussel Hall) (pictured) is about three young men who fled Nazi Germany and joined the U.S. military, trained in intelligence and psychological warfare at Camp Ritchie in Maryland and returned to Europe. Live and Become (7 p.m. Saturday, Oct 21, Nunemaker Auditorium) is set during the rescue of Ethiopian Jews from a Sudanese refugee camp in 1984. A non-Jewish woman persuades an Ethiopian Jewish woman to take her son to Israel to save him from the camp. The boy is adopted by an Israeli family, and the film follows his difficult path of assimilating into a new culture and his struggle against racism. Everything is Illuminated (2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 22, Roussel Hall) stars Elijah Wood as a young American who goes in search of a Ukrainian woman who helped his grandfather escape Europe during World War II. The festival is sponsored by the Jewish Community Center and Shir Chadash Conservative Congregation in association with Loyola University Campus Interfaith Ministries and Black Studies Department. Tickets $10 general admission, $8 seniors, $5 students,$25 festival pass, $21 senior festival pass. -- Will Coviello

Stoke manager Mark Hughes denies Real Madrid have been in contact over Asmir Begovic [Video]
We all know the one about whether or not Messi could do it on a wet and windy Tuesday in Stoke, but could a Stoke player do it on a humid and balmy Sunday afternoon in Spain?
That's the real question, and we may soon have an answer, with Real Madrid reportedly interested in Stoke on Trent's keeper Asmir Begovic.
One of the league's best keepers, it's pretty incredible Stoke have managed to hold on to him for so long.
Amid speculation that Real Madrid have come in for him, though, Stoke boss Mark Hughes refuted this, saying no contact has been made.
As for Begovic's future, Hughes said:
Who knows?
We are very fortunate that he is here and contracted to us. In that regard we have a position of strength.
But he is an ambitious player and I'm sure he wants at some point to test himself at the highest level possible, in the Champions League."

Gran Turismo 5's upcoming title update has been detailed by Sony.
New features in the Spec 2 update include an interior view for all standard cars and the option to save progress during endurance races.
Players will now be able to adjust weather settings, including incremental weather between the start and end of a race.
The update will also add 11 new NASCAR 2011 cars.
"The coming Gran Turismo 5 Spec 2 update is an update that contains the feedback from the users playing GT5 online every day," said series creator Kazunori Yamauchi. "We have added cars such as the newest NASCAR race cars, but many of the updates are those that improve usability and expand the field of game play."
"I believed from the initial release of Gran Turismo 5 that it would be the users that would make the game grow thereafter, and we added things like interior views for the standard models because there was a lot of request for it from our users. You could say that this update is the shape and form of GT5 that was created through the opinions of our fans."
Other new features include:
The update will be available as a free download from October 11.

Acclaimed Australian actor John Wood will visit Cobram as part of a free theatre production that will bring important mental health messages to the community.
Part of a regional tour across Australia, the production titled Carpe Diem is about how men deal with mental health issues.
Supported by Albury actor Chris Pidd, Carpe Diem is a contemporary portrayal of Australian males dealing with issues of health, grief, loss and depression.
Set in a fictional town in inland Australia, it portrays the friendship of Nev, a hard-working farmer, and John his stock agent friend. Both have been impacted by the long-running drought and are each suffering their own personal crisis.
''Carpe Diem stresses the importance of mateship and professional care in times of crises,'' Mr Pidd said.
''It is a comedy that delivers the mental health messages in a way that is entertaining, immediate and highly relevant.''
Written by Megan Rigoni, the play was inspired by the experiences of people she knew.
Leading actor John Wood, who has partnered with Ms Rigoni on two previous productions, said men need to ask the questions and not ignore their apparent depression or inner pain.
''It's a very Australian thing (not just male, necessarily) to feel that it's none of our business and that someone knows what they're doing,'' he said.
Mr Woods has appeared in several much-loved Australian television shows and movies, with Blue Heelers among his most famous.
Mr Pidd, who is also general manager of Lifeline Albury, said the compelling story would help break down the stigma of seeking support early when life gets tough.
The free community event is presented by the Rural Adversity Mental Health Program and Murrumbidgee Local Health District, in partnership with playwright Megan Rigoni of Centre Stage Scripts.
●If you, or someone you know, may be experiencing mental illness call the MLHD AccessLine on 1800800944 to arrange local support.
●The free production Carpe Diem will feature at the Josephinium Centre, St Joseph's Primary School, Cobram on Sunday, March 26, doors open at 2pm for a 2.30pm start.
The event will also feature a question and answer session, meet and greet and barbecue. Collect tickets from the Cobram Visitor Information Centre.

Anyone who is logged in to their Anime-Source account can submit synopses. After you submit you synopsis, it goes into a storage area and awaits approval from one of our Anime reviews administrators.
Just like the synopsis, any user who is logged into their anime-source account can submit a review for an anime they watched. Once submitted, your review goes through a screening process and if it passes the qualifications of not being too brief and being spoiler free then its posted in our reviews database.
Anime reviews contain your own comments and opinions about a particular anime series. It also allows you to rate a series from 1 to 10 with 10 being the best.
Our entire database contains reviews fans like you. All the ratings are averaged out and the 50 anime with the highest rating make it on our top 50 list. Everyone is encouraged to write reviews, just go to a particular anime title and at the bottom of the anime synopsis you should see a link that says Post Review
Please note: Reviews must be in depth and more than just couple words like: 'best anime in the world'. Review Admins will delete unsuitable reviews without warning.
Please refer to this screenshot on the current database layout:
You can take a look at the anime titles that we require screenshots for by looking in our anime database.
You can also see how to take screenshots on your computer here.
Screenshots can be emailed to us at: email@example.com (CURRENTLY BROKEN: Please use e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com in the meantime). Please include your username so we can give you points for your work.
A synopsis is a brief but detailed description of what an anime is about. It should not include any personal opinions but rather just give the reader a general sense of what the show is about.
A review is your own opinion about the show. Here you can bash or praise till your hearts' content. You also get to make a rating from 1 to 10 for the anime which affects the anime's overall score.
Yes, infact we highly encourage you to submit synopses for our database. But that doesn't mean you can't put in your own opinion for the show as well. We encourage everyone to do both!
All reviews and synopses are stored on the database as soon as you submit them BUT are not available for public viewing until an admin reads over them. Usually its only a few hours before your synopsis or review gets posted, but sometimes it takes longer depending on Admin availability.
If it's been over a week without any changes and you don't see your review posted, check your email or Private Messages box to see if there were any reasons why your submission was rejected. If there are no messages, it was probably an error (i.e. we never received your submission), so just resubmit the review/synopsis.
If you're it's original author you're more than welcome to, but please refrain from doing so if you are not.
We are more interested in posting YOUR opinion than some other reviewer's who probably would submit his review to us if he wanted it here. Furthermore, there are authorship issues as submitted reviews are posted under the submitter's name. As you know, claiming other people's work as your own is plagiarism, and Anime-Source has a no tolerance policy regarding it. All reviews copied from this or other websites are deleted or rejected by the Reviews Staff, and the submitter will be warned not to take similar action in the future.
Punishment for plagiarism may range from point deductions to a permanent ban for repeat offenses.
It is a distinction that the most prolific review submitters get in our reviews area. It means that that particular person has many reviews accepted into our database, and this is the acknowledgment that these people get.
"Power Reviewer" scores do not weigh more or less than others when it comes to estimating review averages, but they are specially recognized for submitting their reviews and opinions about many different productions. Their reviews are subjected to the same acceptance standards as all others, so checking out their work should also work as a good guideline for how to submit reviews to us.

I was broken to the core. Living in a strange country with a familiar stranger whom I had made my family and who had eventually left me empty and shattered. It was a relationship I had invested my flesh and spirit in. Madly and lavishly. And when it would come to an end, it would bring me such much sadness and hopelessness which would cause my life to seem dreary and deserted. I was at a point in life where going back or moving forward didn't make much of a sense as none of them was happening. Time had stopped for me. Growth had been plucked and the days and nights were all the same. Empty. Hollow. I had ran away.
My dear friend, a well wisher and at that point probably the only one who had bothered to get me out of my wretchedness was taking out his vehicle from his building. I stood at the gate staring blankly ahead. The area around was a quiet ensemble with few sounds coming in from an occasional bird overhead or a passing motorbike. There I saw a familiar face right across the lane. Karan. A friend from my school. An old friend with whom I used to share a deep bond of affection. An old forgotten friend. An old forgotten time. For a moment I couldn't believe the sight but there he was, smiling that sweet smile. He had came out to see some of his friends off. They were exchanging pleasantries and goodbyes. How outlandish Karan looked. Lesser hair on his head. More hair in his beard. He had donned on a cool yet geeky look which told me that he had tried hard to fit in the foreign culture and had somehow found his fit. Yet when I saw him, I couldn't quite make up my mind that he had given himself to this land. That he didn't miss his roots. What he was. Where he came from. There was something about the way he moved or smiled that told me he missed home. He had settled abroad but a tiny corner of his heart still longed to go home. Or maybe my own thoughts were being reflected on him.
Karan turned around and went inside. He started to close the door when suddenly I waved at him. I wasn't sure he'd seen so I outstretched my hands for him to see me. And then he saw me. He didn't move an inch. He just stared and stared. As if trying to assign a meaning to that moment. As if trying to read my soul from my ruffled exterior. As if it was in that moment that God had heard him and was giving him what he had deeply desired. The expressions on his face softened and before long he was teary eyed. Something heavy inside had came up till his throat and the tears in the eyes were but an expression of his soul. And there it was. A look of family, a look of home on his face. I saw him and felt the same in my heart. In a place where everyone we knew was an outsider, meeting someone we had spent our childhood with was like getting a gift of life. I guess we both were alone and more than alone, we both were homesick at heart. And then I, with all my brokenness, stood there, tears flowing from my eyes. My friend came out and saw us and understood what had happened. He signaled me to wipe my tears but I was too lost. I walked over to the other side of the road and there was a taxi standing next to Karan. I didn't even hug him. I was crying so bad. I placed my head at the gate of the taxi and cried profusely. Karan had tears in his eyes too.
In that moment, there stood the two of us. Crying at our emptiness. Or celebrating the joy of fulfillment of having found each other in that strange land. God only knows the reason why we met. But it was such an emotional dream. I woke up sobbing.

Developer: Square-Enix, Game Arts
Publisher: Square-Enix
Release Date: 2/14/2006
Platform: Playstation 2
The Good: Easily one of the best looking PS2 games, amazing battle system, impressive voice cast.
The Bad: Weak storyline, uncommonly linear gameplay, cheese.
The Stupid: Anything that comes out of Alfina's mouth.
In the haydays of the 90's, RPG's were the games to beat on any system; from the SNES to the Saturn, each systems "killer app" was most likely a RPG. The Sega Saturn recieved a little bundle of joy called Grandia that was soon forgotten in the quick death of the console. It's newest iteration, Grandia III, attempts to retell the classic coming of age story that was so brilliantly told on the original game; the only problem with this concept is that the intruige is dropped early on.
The story focuses on Yuki, a budding pilot who can't seem to take any of his homemade planes off of the runway, but his dream of meeting Sky Captian Shmidtt, a world-renowned pilot and engineer, steadies his determination. Yuki's seemingly simple journey takes a dramatic turn when he brashly decides to save a young girl he spots while airborne, and is dragged into the tried and true storyline of good versus evil.
The only problem with this storyline is that it surpasses even the cutest of games level of cheesiness; just when you think the game is going to take a serious turn and actually let the player develop some sort of emotional investment into the storyline, the game throws the worst possible dialougue that would make even the girliest girl roll her eyes in disgust and blush for the fact she was still playing the game. Game Arts has taken a large step back from their great writing for Justin and Feena in the original Grandia, and has dumped the player into a lighthearted love story that moves way too quickly for it's own good; the only saving grace for the story is the inclusion of older characters that actually add some interest in the story, but other than that, prepare to be cheesed to death. This is pretty dissapointling coming from a development studio that gave us the epic tale of Grandia 1, by the end of the game, the player will most likely has little to no interest in what even happens to Yuki or Alfina.
Grandia III does look amazing to say the least, featuring sprawling landscapes that seem to go on for miles, and almost seem to be traversable if the game didn't limit you to a linear path. The main problem that I found with each and every location in the game is that it seemed to lack any sort of creative inspiration that the previous games had; every dungeon and pathway looked like a different skin on the same one I had encountered a few hours ago. Game Arts also seems to be shoving in a few design elements from the first game as well, the problem with this is, these elements worked with the original game, but they have no place here, and make little to no sense in where they are located.
Like in Final Fantasy X, characters will also slip in and out of high-res and low-res models in certain scenarios, which looks very odd when the characters mouth is moving in one cut, and then it switches to a static model with it's head bobbling to simulate talking. For what CG work there is to speak of in the game, it is done fairly well, but fails to bring anything new to the table in terms of technology. But a great merit to the game is the fact that an overall design concept is a strong element in the game; all of the characters look perfectly outfitted in the clothes of their native land, it almost looks too natural how well the colors coordinate to the location they come from.
The overworld map also looks great, although there is a slight fog that you encounter in the distance, it is filled with a rich and vibrant world that begs to be explored. The problem with that notion is that Grandia III translated the original game's map hopping into a light flying sim that basically only takes you from point A to point B. The system is done so well that it is really a shame that there really is only a handful of locations to go to in the game, and the high quality of the system almost begets a bigger purpose. You can take the plane up to above the cloud levels, and the music will change to the appropriate tune of grandeur to accentuate the intensity of being that high. The game could have benefitted from having more locations to discover, and more utilization of the flight system, but it fails to develop what seems to be the main theme of the game.
But the real reason that we all return to the Grandia franchise is the crowning jewel of the franchise: the battle system. The mixture of turn-based strategy and action elements have always completed a perfect blend of fun and tact. In battle, characters portraits appear on a circular "IP gauge", in which each player and enemy must wait until their portrait reaches the Action portion to choose a command, and finally there is a short stretch of the IP gauge in which the command must travel to in order to be executed. The fun and excitement in this simple system is held in the fact that the player can slow down a foe's IP portrait, or if they happen to land a special or critical attack while the foe is in his execution stage, they can cancel their attack alltogether and it will have to start all over again.
Each and every character is loaded with a wide variety of abilities to choose from, while most of their initial attacks are similar in effect, later ones will allow for each character to stand on their own quite well. In certain situations, characters will "discover" new moves and secret techniques when they choose to use a special ability. Long gone is the system where characters will gain abilities depending on how much they use a certain element or ability, it is replaced by them learning it when a certain ability is used in a certain situation. This is kind of dissapointing in the fact that you lose a sense of building your character by not being able to work towards gaining a new technique. Spells are now taught through equipping Mana Eggs, and characters will also come across "tomes" that can be equipped for status increases. The Mana Eggs can be taken to a Fusion shop to either extract a spell from it, or fuse them together to create a new and more powerful spell. This allows for a little experimentation with one-time items in such a linear game.
There is also a combo system that allows characters to coordinate their attacks when the timing is right. If a character whose critical strike move sends the opponent into the air, any character that selects that target while it's airborne will execute a "finishing move", which deals major damage overall. This is just Grandia's way of telling the player that everything flows easier when you work as a team, because most battles will become too difficult if each character tries to do their own thing.
Sound in the game is a mixed bag, I couldn't put my finger on why it seemed to lack quality in some areas, and others had exquisite piano or techno tracks. For the most part, you will hear sweeping piano pieces, or the rousing beat of the battle theme, but some areas lack any type of inspiration, and almost seems to be along the lines of PSX quality. I was dumbfounded to find that the composer for this music was the same man who gave us such wonderful peices of music in the original game; but something just seemed to be lacking this time around. Voice-acting, on the other hand, is actually done quite well, and certain characters really shine. After the curse of Baten Kaitos, a voice-acted RPG was sternly looked down on, but Grandia III does a great job with giving excellent voice actors even the most minor of characters.
One of the larger problems with the game is that it was way too linear when you take into account that the previous two incarnations actually gave you some room to go explore. Once you leave a certain area, there is little to no reason to return to it at a higher level to explore the areas that were too high of a level to get to initally. You are basically strung along as the story carries on, where the only things you may miss along the way were treasure chests out of sight.
Overall, Grandia is a decent sequel to a series that has always pleased fans of RPG's who were looking for a taste of something new. But the lackluster storyline and rather bad character dialouge drowns the game in mediocrity, as plot twists and character relations are more obvious then secrets in a Kojima game. If you are here for the battle system, then the game is still the orgasmic trip it was the first time around, but fans of an epic storyline with character progression will definately be dissapointed with this one.
