Mr. Sewell Oertling, 7315 Elm St., New Orleans, La*. U. S. POSTAGE lc Paid New Orleans, La. Permit No. 716 The Maroon VOL. VIII SOCCER TOURNAMENT IS SCHEDULED FOR THIS AFTERNOON Essay Contest Postponed Until After Examinations Are Completed The soccer ball tournament, which is the second event in the Hausmann trophy competition between the sophomore and freshman classes will take place this afternoon at 3:15 on the football practice field, according to Howard Fabacher, member of the Student Council, which yearly sponsors this contest between the lower classes. Because of the nearness of examinations and of the class work which i must be completed, the essay contest j has been postponed form January 15th \ to February 15th. This was originally intended to be the first event in the competition. Members of both classes have requested that this event be put off in order to give the participants time to prepare ofr the semi-annual examinations. The subject of the essay will be "College Spirit," and the various papers will consist of from one thousand to fifteen hundred words, each on this selected topic. The essays will be judged by a committee of the faculty members who will grade the contestants for the final results. First place will count three points, second place, two, and third place, one. The two remaining events which! are yet to take place are the basketball game and the public debate. The' basketball game will be played on February 2nd in the Loyola gymnasium. The final event of the competition will be held at 8 P. M. on February 14th, when the sophomores and freshmen meet in the public debate in the auditorium of Marquette Hall. The question which will be discussed by the representativse of hte sophomores and freshmen will be: "Resolved, That the powers should have complete disarmament for police purposes." Although the subject has been chosen, the two classes have not j as yet decided upon the side of the I question that each will undertake to defend. Calderoni Now Interning At Texas Hospital Dr. Charles Calderoni, a graduate of the 1929 class of the School of Dentistry, whose home is in Brownsville, Texas, is now serving as an interne in the Scott and White Hospital at Temple, Texas. Dr. Calderoni was prominent during his stay at Loyola both in social and professional activities. He is a meml)er of the Upsilon Beta Lambda, Sigma lota and Psi Omega fraternities. During his senior year he served as associate editor of the Dental Journal and was secretary of his class. LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1929 FRENCH CLUB ORGANIZED, OFFICERS CHOSEN FOR COMING YEAR The French Club held its initial ■ meeting of the year on Tuesday, January 7th, in aMrquette Hall and elected officers for the coming term. TTie members chose Victor Choppin as President, Paul Martinez as Vice- President, Carl Buchmann as Secretary, and Paul Reising as Treasurer. The president of the organization automatically becomes a member of the Student Activity oßard, which was formed at the beginning of the year. Father de Monsabert, the faculty advisor, announced at the meeting that he will put on a play, "Cousine Jeanne" a comedy in three acts, before the end of school. The parts are being arranged and will \De given out as soon as possibl in order that prac- , tices may begin in the near future. The French Club was first organized at Loyola last year by Fahter de Monsabert and at first had only a small membership, but it steadily grew and expanded until it now boasts of twenty-three active members. BAND —■— Newly Organized Orchestra To Commence Rehearsals By Next Week Temporarily disbanding after the football season, the Loyola Band will organize e school orchestra from all its members and continue to play for school functions. These for the most part will comprise plays given by the Thespians, Glee Club concerts and graduation exercises. According to Father Ruggeri, eight or ten of the most talented members of the band will be included in the orchestra, which is expected to make its initial appearance of the year at the presentation of the first play given by the Thespians next month. Those who have already been selected are: Donald Peterson, string bass and sousaphone; Wallace Kern, trumpet; Clyde Barthelemy, saxnphone and clarinet; Jacob Sciambra, reeds; Ha mil . Cupero, piano and leader; Armand Annan, violin and sax; Eddie Gendron, trombone; Abe Diaz, trap drums; Temple Black, banjo and vocal work; Harold Heidingsfelder, saxaphone and vocal work. Several others are to be selected soon, and rehearsals will begin by the early part of the week of aJnuary 14th. Plans are being made to include the orchestra in the tour which will be made by the Glee Club ir April. This has not been definitely decided upon, since some of the members of the band are not positive of getting away from their classes. It is highly probable that they will be able to obtain excuses. WOLF STAFF SEEKS STUDENT BODY AID ON IMPROVED BOOK Snapshot and Humor Sections To Be Emphasized; Co-operation Necessary In an effort to make the present D year book the best ever to represent the University, Robert Ainsworth, editor and Father Ruggeri, faculty : advisor, are appealling to the stu- j dents to assist them in the task. A ■ letter from the Wolf staff to that i effect follows: "It is always the ambition of the Wolf staff of each succeeding year to make the current issue of the annual the best that has ever represented Loyola. The present staff is so deeply inspired vs/in this anrtitibn ( as any in the past. The editors want to give you a book that you will receive with pride, one that you will read and re-read with undiminished i plasure. Such a result is impossible \ unless we have the whole-hearted j co-operation of all the student body, i For the help you have given us so | far, we are more than thankful. But there still remains much to be done. | "There are two features of the 1930 Wolf that have not been emphasized in the past issues, but of which we hope to make a good deal this year— with the help of everybody. ANNUAL SPANISH DEBATE RESULTS IN TIE The annual Spanish debate by members of the Spanish Club which took place last Friday morning was so closely contested tha tthe judges rendered a tie decision. Robert Ainsworth, freshman law student, was chosen as the best speaker. Vondel Fransen was named by the judges as the speaker having the best and purest Spanish accent. The debate, which was delivered entirely in Spanish was on the subject, "Resolved, that Spain, rather than England, is the mother of American civilization." The speakers for the freshman class, which upheld the affirmative side of the question, were: Vondel Fransen, Leo Zinser and William Von Lubbe. The second year group, composed of Robert Ainsworth, Henry Oulliber and Raymond Bosworth, discussed the question from the negative side. The judges for the debate were: Consul-General Perez of Peru, Mr. Villafranca and Mrs. Villafranea, Mr. Juan Monasterio and Reverend Butt. The debate is an annual event in the Spanish department and was held under the supervision of Miss Jessie Montejo. head of the Spanish group and teacher of foreign languages at the university. LOCAL BANKING INSTITUTE TO BROADCAST OVER STATION WWL The New Orleans Chapter of the American Institute of Banking has chosen WWL as its official broadcasting station. Mr. J. L. Wetta, President of the New Orleans chapter is in charge of the radio activities. It was largely through the efforts of Mr. Wetta that these radio talks were made possible. The first talk given over the radio by the organization was by Mr. E. F. Leßreton, assistant vice-president of the Hibernia Bank and Trust Company on December 4th. This talk was followed by one given on December 11th by Mr. F. V. Morse, assistant vice-president of the Whitney Na- j tional Bank and Trust Company, and by Mr. William A. Dixon, vice-president of the Whitney Trust and Savings Bank on December 18th. Talks will be given over the local station by members of the New Orleans Chapter of the Institute of Banking on the following Wednesday nights—January Bth, 15th, 22nd, 29th, and February sth and 12th. Very interesting talks are promised by Mr. Wetta. GLEE CLUB Continue Preparations For Concert Tour To Be Made In April After a two weeks' cessation of activities, practices were again resumed by the university Glee lCub last Monday night. The club is now preparing for a tour of the South which will be made within the next two months, according to Fr. Ruggeri, faculty advisor. Just what cities will be included in this tour has not been made public as yet. All members who are in good standing and have been punctual in attendance will be invited to take part. Mr. Jacobs, who has taken over the direction of the organization, is well pleased with the loyalty and talent which has been exhibited thus far. Although the quota of members has been filled, many students have apactivities of the organization are being made known. These can only be put on the waiting list, and in the event of someone being unable to retain his membership, the vacant place will be filled from candidates on the waiting list in the order of their merit and zeal. Many telegrams and letters of appreciation have been received by Mr. Pasquet, announcer for the Loyola broadcasting station, for the program given by the club over WWL the week preceding the Christmas holidays. One number which was especially enjoyed, judging from the mail received, was LOYOLA DEBATERS ARE SELECTED FOR FORENSIC EVENTS Lozes and Oulliber to Meet Baylor Debating Team Next Month Felicien Lozes and John Oulliber were chosen as the members of the Loyola debating team with Robert Ainsworth selected as alternate at the annual trials which were held last Tuesday evening at 3 p. m. in the auditorium of Murquette Hall. At that time an open house discussion was held on the subject: "Resolved, that the world powers should have complete disarmament except for police purposes." Tie contestants were judged by a committee of faculty members composed of Fathers Burke and O'Connor of the Arts department and Mr. Alfred J. Bonomo, assistant dean of the law school. Oulliber is president of the local debating society and treasurer of the freshman law class and last year, served as an alternate on the forensic team. Lozes, a freshman in the Arts and Science department, was a member of the debating team of Jesuits High School last year. Carl Buehmann and Harold Rouchell. the Loyola intercollegiate debaters of last season, did not enter the competition this year because of the pressure of studies and other campus activities. The Loyola debaters" will oppose the forensic representatives of Baylor University of Waco, Texas next month in the first event of the year's schedule, it was announced by the authorities of the local organization. Following the Baylor contest, other home debates will include engagements with the University of Wyoming and Loyola of Chicago. In March, the local team will make a tour of Oklahoma and meet, among other opponents, the teams of Oklahoma Baptist University and the University of Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Baptists were defeated by Loyola last year after they had won the championship of the states of Oklahoma and Kansas and a return engagement was securedClasses Resumed Again After Long Vacation No. 7 After an unusually long vacation of more than two weeks, students reported back to classes on January 3rd. Lectures were again resumed in the school of Dentistry on Friday, January 3rd, while the other departments of Pharmacy, Arts and Sciences, and Law began again on Monday, January 6th. Studies have been resumed again in earnest in preparation for the semiannual examinations. (Continued on Page 2) (Continued on Page 2)

When I fill any form for my son this question "relationship with child" confuses me. Should the answer be "son" or "father"? To me, the ideal answer is always "a father–son relationship".
A little explanation is appreciated.
When I fill any form for my son this question "relationship with child" confuses me. Should the answer be "son" or "father"? To me, the ideal answer is always "a father–son relationship". A little explanation is appreciated. |
Think of the question being asked as "relationship with son"—does that help to clarify it? Your relationship with your son is "father." His relationship with you is "son." They're asking for the first, not the second. | |||
Forgive me for being perhaps nitpicky here, but my guess is that those forms you fill for your son really mean "relationship to child" not "relationship with child". Your relationship to the child would refer to how you were related to him/her, e.g. guardian, father, mother, uncle, etc, while your relationship with the child would indicate how well you get along. This distinction is debatable, though, and it is obviously inconsequential in a form such as those you fill, where the intended meaning is clear. That being out the way, the correct response, assuming you are the father, should be simply "father", since the question is directed at the person filling the form. On the other hand, if the question began thus: "Child's relationship to person filling the form", or something along those lines, then the correct response in your case would be "son". While "father-son" may take care of any perceived ambiguities in the prompt, it is information overkill in this context and would only be most appropriate in response to a prompt such as the following: "Relationship between [your son's name] and person filling the form". Also, if you are worried because it says "child", I am sure another section of the form indicates your son's gender. Creators of such forms clearly have to use "child", since the forms will be used for or by both sexes, except in the case of a single-sex institution. | ||||
I just filled out a form for my daughter I correctly answered "mother" and " father" with that question "relationship with this child" and the officer said I should put " spouse"!!!😧😧 | |||

Abstract: The multi-banded fluorescence and laser properties of 11 new amino- and tosylamino derivatives of 2,5-di(phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole and oxadiazole in various solvents at 293 K are reported. All the compounds investigated possess intra-molecular hydrogen quasi-bond (IHB) of 4.6-5.2 kcal mol-1 in the ground state. In the excited state they can undergo protolytic dissociation or intra-molecular photon-initiated transfer of proton and reveal anomalous fluorescence which cannot be explained within the framework of the Kasha and Kasha-Vavilov rules. Depending upon the excitation wavelength, solvent, concentration and pH of the medium, the compounds studied show a single, double, triple or even a four-banded fluorescence, which has not been reported earlier. The nature of multi-banded fluorescence is explained in terms of the possible photochromic processes in excited states. Quantum yields and decay times of the different fluorescence bands are reported. Anomalous dependence of quantum yield upon concentration of the solution is observed. Laser properties of the compounds studied are carefully tested. Laser action based on the fluorescence of the so-called bi-radical molecules is reported. Various possible arrangements of singlet and triplet levels of compounds investigated are discussed. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/176 Files in this item: 2

Members of the Red Warriors, an antifascist gang in France, 1985. Red Warriors used violent force to remove Neo Nazi gangs from France and provide safe spaces for immigrants during the rise of white nationalism and an outbreak of violent crime against people of colour. They formed a squat called "L.U.S.I.N.E" and were considered the most effective gang to counter nazi violence, working to instill fear in their opposition.
white people who think you're anti-racism/"not racist", if you're not doing this, you're literally doing it completely wrong.

Shameless Book Club: 'Feminism For Real'!
Our first episode of the Shameless Book Club podcast features anthology 'Feminism for Real' edited by Jessica Yee.
This text asks big questions about the relationship between feminist theory and practice, and discusses the frustrations of trying to relate to ideas about feminism that don't fit no matter how much we sometimes squeeze and unbutton to make them.
In this podcast you'll hear Shameless contributors and staff rolling around questions the book has posed, and talking about where they look to find answers in themselves.
Take a listen here:
For a transcription of this episode read on here:
(Shameless Book Club intro jingle - written and recorded by Jo Snyder)
Sarah Feldbloom – Hi, I'm Sarah Feldbloom, Shameless magazine's web producer. Welcome to the first episode of our book club. For our first installment, a team of Shameless staff and writers came together to talk about their reactions to Feminism for Real, a collection of stories of what feminism means in theory and in life. Editor Jessica Yee is a self-described two-spirit, multiracial, Indigenous, feminist, hip-hop reproductive justice freedom fighter. She is the executive director and founder of the Native Youth Sexual Health Network. Profits from her book, Feminism for Real, go toward a scholarship fund for the kids of missing and murdered Aboriginal women. You can find it at the Toronto Women's Bookstore and other independent vendors. To start us off, here's Sheila, the moderator of this episode's discussion.
(Sound up on the round table discussion)
Sheila Sampath – I'm Sheila Sampath, the Art and Editorial Director of Shameless. I've been to the academy, but not for women's studies. I studied sociology and psychology at U of T, and then graphic design at George Brown.
Laura Krahn – I'm Laura. I'm also an academically trained feminist although, again, not in women's studies. I have degrees in critical theory, and my areas were feminist and queer theory and also in English, and I am a reviewer for Shameless magazine.
Naz Afsahi – Hi, I'm Naz Afsahi. I'm a blogger at Shameless. I too was once a member of the academy. I went to Queen's University for my undergrad. It was not in women's studies; it was in film studies slash religious studies, and I also received my Masters from the University of Western Ontario in media studies.
Ronak Ghorbani – Hi, I'm Ronak Ghorbani. I'm the arts editor for Shameless. I have an undergraduate degree in journalism with a minor in sociology, and I'm pursuing a master's in communication and culture at Ryerson and York University.
Julia Horel-O'Brien – I'm Julia Horel O'Brien. I'm the web director and blog and community manager at Shameless magazine. I have an undergraduate degree in English Literature from Trent University and a Masters in Publishing from Simon Fraser. I have never taken a women's studies course.
SS – So we're going to start off with some general questions. The first is really general: What were your impressions of the book?
RG – I was really jazzed when I got the call out in my email to submit, because in the email, Jessica Yee had said that she was looking for contributions by youth and for people who haven't studied women's studies necessarily, and I really like that kind of non-academic approach to the book. And as someone who reads a lot of academic theory, I get really frustrated because it's not always grounded in reality or examples aren't given of how you can apply theory to real life. It was really refreshing and awesome to read a feminist text that is grounded in reality, grounded in people's experience and giving agency for people to talk about their own experiences and acknowledging that people know about themselves and people want to talk about themselves. I don't know if I'm saying that right, like people are their own experts, that's it. You don't get that in a lot of academia. And it's really frustrating.
LK– I was really excited going into it because I had been following a lot of the buzz surrounding the collection. I had really high hopes for it, and those hopes are a little disappointed and I had some concerns coming out of the book. I wanted it to take that extra step and be really clear and explicit about so what can we do? So here are some options. Or, it's up to you to figure it out. So I wanted it to go the extra mile, to push the boundaries of what such an anthology could achieve. Or be explicit about the fact that we are the ones to push those boundaries.
SS – So everybody got something different out of it or was looking for something different from the book. I am just wondering, just for clarity, what everybody's expectations were, like personal expectations going into reading the book.
JH – I wanted to hear voices that didn't sound like mine, actually. Being a white, straight, cis-gendered, upper-middle-class brought up person who went through school without any financial hardships. I am the person who academia was designed for and so I wanted to hear people that weren't me and people that I didn't consider when I was in university, and I really want to correct that now.
NA – I wanted to hear more voices that I think were similar to mine as someone who does identify as a woman of colour. So I was very excited to hear more voices speak out instead of the traditional voices that we read in the academy. And I didn't go through women's studies, but I have read a lot of feminist theory in grad school, so I was super excited to hear from those outside the quote, unquote "pedestals" of feminist theory.

Games that have lost their way Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 NEXT | |
A lot of the comments here seem to be discussing a change in genre, which I don't think should be an automatic qualifier. Personally, I don't think Mass Effect, Dragon Age or Fallout lost the core of what they were about when they decided to ease up on the RPG aspects, because to me the core of those games is their world-building and lore. I do have some small problems with those series, but I'd say they've stuck true to what they originally were, or have changed in ways that don't detract from that original core. However, I do agree that Final Fantasy has gone down the pan. The franchise seems to be trying to streamline & quicken everything and give it a shiny coat of graphics to make up for it. But when I play a JRPG, I want a game where I have to wait in combat and manage an entire group of characters, not just manage one and trust the computer to handle the rest. Final Fantasy has always shifted wildly in tone, setting & story, so it was always the mechanics that were the core of those games for me. Given that they've been shifting the focus of the mechanics towards simplicity & speed (not very well, in my opinion), it feels to me like Final Fantasy has drifted from what made me love it so much. | |
I disagree with you about Fallout. Fallout 3 did a very poor job of capturing what made Fallout... Fallout. Even by your criteria... it threw a lot of the world-building and lore under the bus, or just retreaded it in a wholly underwhelming manner. But then Obsidian came and went "No, no, no... if you want to do a first-person, real-time Fallout, it's supposed to be like this". They even made it infuriatingly buggy, just like Fallout 2! | |
Well heres to hoping LP3 delivers. I really like what I've seen so far, it doesn't seem to be relying too heavily on jump scares. | |
The irony being that even while the Sentinel is more support-focused than it is any actual combat, I can easily take down even a Geth Colossus with my Sentinel. And all I've got is a pistol(no extra weapons training as of yet). Pistols are beyond broken in ME1. Although my biggest problem is why give us access to guns we effectively couldn't use to begin with? Sniper rifle has a targeting reticle that covers the entire screen. You couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Literally. Assault rifles also have a far larger reticle than necessary and Shotguns are worthless at anything other than close to point-blank range. That's one of the better changes(among others) in ME2. Our weapon screens aren't cluttered with weapons we couldn't use if we wanted to. As far as I'm concerned, from a storyline point, ME1 is much better than ME2. But ME2 is vastly superior to ME1 at a gameplay point of view. Especially considering the ridiculous number of bugs you encounter ALL THE TIME in ME1. I haven't had more than an hour with ME3 so I have no comment on that one. | |
Clearly you didn't play United Offensive. | |
Devil May Cry: It's a shame cause it pretty much hit the nail on the head by the 3rd game and just died from then on. May we now pray they return to glory. One day... | |
Excuse me but how has pokemon lost it's way? And don't say its because the new pokemon designs are bad since that's "just your opinion man" | |
masse effect gets a pass, it was always meant to be more action, have you actually tried ME1, its a clusterf33K of RPGness. everything is a chore. | |
Dragon Age. Went from fucking masterpiece to trying to emulate Mass Effect..... I cry a little every day for the series. | |
i'm sorry, i also dont want to offend you, but you have really low standards. if i make a half assed game with a retarded and contradicting story to the lore and reduce one of the key aspects of a franchise to a lower extend, you are ok with it as long as you get a weak gimicky weapon you can only unlock/find later in the game, hidden behind a wall or get unlocked after you sit throught the pain inducing and brainmass reducing story? okay.. now i know what is holding back franchises. damn gimicks. | |
I'm quite baffled how nobody mentioned Black & White. It started as a one-of-a-kind god-simulator that looks like an RTS and plays completely differently. Then, after the first island it turned into an RTS. I was so disappointed that I uninstalled it after the second island. | |
You can modify your save files. I couldn't stand certain parts of red faction so I replaced mine with someone who had the fortitude to finish it. I enjoyed the magnet gun and the unicorn anus-laser. | |
so you enjoyed it because you cheated. | |
While I actually agree with your point whole-heartedly, there are a couple of places where it makes sense. I never played Mass Effect, but the first one seemed to run like a more "fluid" version of KOTOR. After that it only got more fluid, so I can see the logic, but without playing it my opinion on it's not worth much. More to the point tho, look at Resident Evil. I've played the original, the Gamecube remake, and some of RE 2 and 3. In all honesty they controlled HORRIBLY and while the survival horror aspect was great, it remained so because of some glaring inconsistencies with the control scheme. Namely, headshots. When you can occasionally take down a zombie with a headshot, that's great. When you have so little ammo that you rely on headshots to conserve any ammo, that's good survival horror. But when you include a headshot system and you make it almost impossible to lose, it's just frustrating. Haven't played Dead Space yet, but I do also agree on the FF front. FFXIII was pretty... linear. Maybe it gets better after the first 20 hours, but if it's not worth playing that far in the first place it's not gonna get a lot of love. | |
That's because if a game is only good for an hour until it's not fun anymore, it's not a good game. So Black & White didn't lose its way, it's just shit in general. In general, I'm blaming Ninja Theory for that one. Seriously, I think they could've handed Philips the franchise like they did with Zelda and it wouldn't have been such a disaster. Here's hoping that if Nintendo decides to ditch another of their franchises, they'll choose at least a decent studio. (can't go wrong with Retro Studios) OT: For me personally it's the Mario RPG franchise (not the handheld ones, aside from Partners in Time, which was only 'good' the others are awesome). It started to feel flat with Super Paper Mario but now we have Sticker Star and it's just... UGH... no charm, no spark, even the humor feels just... token at best. | |
Well Assassins Creed has become less about stabbing people and more about chasing pigs around to get them into a pen, sending convoys to make money and of course being a naval captain! The Castlevania: Lords of Shadows games also stray from the originals a lot, but I loved the first one so much and I'm looking forward to the second too, I find it hard to criticize. | |
Remember when Call of Duty were WW2 games? Yeah neither do I. | |
I didn't really say that I enjoyed the game. It was a bad game, with a bad story and some interesting weapons. Enjoying oneself for a half an hour firing a laser from a unicorns anus doesn't mean I enjoyed the game itself. Just some cheap fun that partially redeemed itself, hence why I can't hate it. | |
but still, the only small percentage that makes you not be dissapointed with it (not hate it) came due you firing up some cheats and squeeze the small things that would get a small smirk on your face if it would have been in any game regardeless. red faction was literally going down (in quality) | |
I kind of filed this away mentally but I agree completely. I ended up grabbing the ultimate edition of Origins and really, any of (or perhaps an amalgamation of) the DLC quests that spun off from the first game would have made for a better sequel than what ended up being shat out. I don't mind the game centering around Kirkwall and the surrounding area but it would have been far more interesting to play as a Dwarven or, Elven refugee; not just a human of questionable skill and gender. --- On the other side of the spectrum, Castlevania has definitely strayed from what it once was and it was better off for it. Castlevania was originally a linear action-platformer after all, up until about Symphony of the Night (and those two unspeakable N64 games) when Castlevania respectively took some notes from Metroid from the former and, shat itself inside-out as the later. The thing is Symphony of the Night and, Aria of Sorrow, are my favorite titles in the series. The last time Castlevania went back to a more linear format (like the original title) it turned out to be...well, pretty terrible (though not bad enough to stop more Lord of Shadows from spawning). It looks like Lord of Shadows on the 3DS is going to go back to the Metroidvania style which makes me very hopeful that it will be worth playing because I had more fun with Simon's Quest than I did with Lord of Shadows. | |
To me, Mass Effect was always an action-RPG. While I do agree that more emphasis has been placed on shooting stuff rather than puzzles and roleplaying but, come ME3, a full-on Galactic War happens, which will always require weaponry. Yes you can talk the Geth and the Quarians to pack it in but that's not really going to work with the Reapers. Trying to reason with Reapers is like trying to reason with a devout religious person - it's a pointless exercise in futility - so you are going to need to shoot them. I noticed the lack of dialogue options in ME3 and, while the response "In war, there really aren't many grey areas." was reasonable, it also smacked of making excuses. However the addition of "modes" irked me and neatly proves your point that, for the sake of gameplay and final polishing, it has been made to appeal to all comers and their lovely money. At least for ME3 they beefed up the combat system so it flows better. ME1's combat was like Fallout 3 / Fallout: New Vegas' combat but with a half-arsed cover system and ME2's combat system was designed by someone with a fetish for sticking himself to walls with Araldite. At least with ME3 they made an effort - if they are going to place emphasis on action then they might as well try and get it right. If I were to say how Mass Effect has lost it's way, it is not so much the swing towards shooting as the swing away from "traditional" RPG elements. In ME1, there was a lot of shooting but we also had the Mako and the planet exploration, which I liked. If you wanted the good shit, you had to earn it by putting in the work to earn them or the money to buy them. Sometimes the item you just scavenged and pawned half the guns in the Galaxy for was not in stock - well that's life! It happens and if they just dumped all the good shit on you right away then the game would be tediously easy. That said, the inventory system was a bit of a pain but at least you couldn't fill it with random crap like teddy-bears and spoons. ME2 cut the inventory system and weapon mechanics right down to the bone and then threw all the challenging puzzles in the bin. Some hailed it as a relief but to me it was overkill. Yes by cutting down on the faffing around and selling half a million unwanted guns after each mission was all well and good but what's the point of doing that and then giving us that woefully boring planet-scanning mini-game? Yes the Mako could be a bit of a bugger to drive sometimes but it could also be insane amounts of fun when you got the hang of it. The only thing I had to get the hang of when plannet-scanning was making sure I didn't fall asleep - there was absolutely no challenge at all! Still, when you're trying to get as many people as possible to give you their money, who cares, right? Also, why was access to the Citadel so limited in ME2? In ME1 we had a good slice of one of the Wards, C-Sec and The Presidium. In ME2 we got part of another Ward, which was fine, and a balcony on The Presidium - woo. Omega was pretty good but also very limited and so was Tuchanka. Also the stock didn't rotate / replenish, thus killing the need for exploration / repeated visits...because that stuff bores non-RPG fans and they will not give you their money again if they are bored! The Paragon / Renegade interrupts were a fun addition, though! ME3 sought to redress the balance a little bit with the better weapon-mod system and making the alternative armours for your crewmates have different bonuses and attributes. They also got rid of resource-mining, which was fine with me, but why leave in the planet-scanning mechanic for artefact / salvage operations? There's no point to it at all now! I like how you have to be careful when activating your scanner or the Reapers will come and see what's making all that noise, that is good, but why do they then utterly ignore you when you start to scan the planet for the artefact once you've identified which one it's on? It takes away all the urgency and renders it all pointless. How about they take a leaf from a great old game called Nomad in where you drop the probe and have to wait while it does it's thing. You can either leave it and come back later or wait, which would be dull but you can always upgrade them to make them faster / more efficient and, if the Reapers are around, waiting could be a tense affair if you didn't wimp out and run away! Another utterly incomrehensible decision was to break the journal. It worked just fine for 2 games so why break it to the point to becomes useless to ME veterans and newbies alike? It says a lot when I have to have a pad of paper and a pen handy to track my mission progress in ME3! They also binned all of the hubs, bar the Citadel. You'd think that in a war, there would be more need for them than ever! I'm not saying that they should be available from the get-go but the chance to unlock them would be nice! After you sort out the shroud on Tuchanka, why not have that open up as a hub? As the game shows, there are places the Reapers haven't touched or ignore that could be utilised as "secret" hubs or safe-zones. It's all very well cutting all this out to appeal to a broader audience but in breaking the side-quests and journal mechanics so comprehensively, all they did was get on everyone's nerves! I still enjoy the games and each one has it's own reasons that make me want to play it again but, like many, it seems that more emphasis has been placed on a wider market than crossing the t's and dotting the i's. I'm not talking about the ending, although that was pretty bad, but there are other, more subtle things that irk me, most of which I have already mentioned. Here's hoping that the proposed Mass Effect 4 returns to it's roots. | |
No, the satisfaction came from a developer taking the time to put something utterly ridiculous into a game that had a pretty serious tone. Done for the sake of fun I might add. Mr Toots is a weapon I won't forget for a good while, I'd like to see more ridiculous weapons designed for either a laugh or just to be generally fun more often. | |
I can totally see that. Fallout 3's pretty iffy like that, but to me it had enough retro 50's vibe and sense of desolation to remind me a lot of Fallout 1, whereas New Vegas reminded me way more of Fallout 2. I share some of the complaints about how different Fallout 3's tone is (and stuff like the new FEV, which don't fit well with established lore), but at the end of the day the idea of having an entire world devastated by nuclear war allows me to accept that games and DLCs can have a range of tones, themes and content. If they announced a DLC for Deus EX: Human Revolution that was set in a creepy swamp full of hillbillies I'd take umbridge with that, but with a world as big and varied as Fallout I buy that Point Lookout, Rivet City, Caesar's Legion, the Enclave, Primm and New Reno can all coexist in the same world. | |
More or less, but not entirely. The biggest factor was Sonic's speed and having to translate that from a 2D platform to a 3D plane. Sonic Adventure introduced Sonic's speed with 3D platforming. It was good; however, there were a few tweaks that needed to be fixed (i.e. finding a way to make Sonic accelerate without loosing control and having some shorthanded invincibility like the Spin Dash). Modern Sonic has had his share of bad games developed with terrible mechanics and ideas (i.e. Sonic '06, Sonic Unleashed's Nighttime stages, The Storybook Games, etc.), but many of the handhelds incorporate the classic Sonic 2D feel while tweaking the mechanics slightly to deliver a familiar experience while feeling fresh at the same time. Sonic Generations has proven that they can get 2D and 3D done right, and hopefully the next title will deliver a similar experience while incorporating something new and not broken. | |
I still find it funny that Conviction was the ONLY Splinter Cell game I have enjoyed, I get why fans of traditional Splinter Cell weren't fans of Conviction and missed what had been sacrificed (disposing of bodies for instance, cut to get the game out on time) but I enjoyed what it did and I think what it did do, it did well. It was a fast paced stealth game, more of a hunter stealth game. I hope Blacklist makes both sets of fans happy, I hope Blacklist has the depth of the old games without the crazy redundant maneuvers and unintuitive (is it even a word?) controls and I hope it retains Conviction style of fast paced play (if you want it) and intuitive controls. Anyway, OT I feel Final Fantasy has to be my pick. Since 11/12 the series has been in decline and I was insulted by 13 on many levels but especially characters. FF has not had great or even good characters (or at least that appeal to me in a meaningful way) since 10 | |
Oh yeah and Lost Planet... Man I was such a fan of LP1, but Lost Planet 2 just killed the franchise for me, it's horrible attempts at co op, the stupid lobby, the dumb slot machine to upgrade your guns/unlock new ones, the way multiplayer felt...off and THE ACHEIVEMENTS, they were just hellish. I probably won't bother with LP3 at first, maybe pick it up down the line cheap :( so sad | |
I don't know if this has been said before, but I would like to talk about how Simcity has lost its way. It is a shame that Maxis was sold to EA. EA has a generally bad reputation as a publisher, and the series has done downhill since it was fully under EA's hands. I started being a fan when Simcity Societies came out. I liked it, but then I got access to Simcity 4, and MAN WAS THAT AWESOME. The only two games that have can suck out hundreds of hours is the SIMS 3 (also by Maxis, but without losing the way yet) and Team Fortress 2. Now I see Societies as a game with potential but basically falling apart. It was even worse than LEGOLAND for PC (anyone remember?) which had the same flaw, but it was still enjoyable and was able to suck in 50 or so hours of gameplay. And if you don't know that game it is like controlling a GIF that resembles LEGOLAND made out of LEGOs. Back on topic. Now that Simcity 2013 is coming in 2 months and there is a closed BETA, I am worried that Simcity will end up like Sonic or Spore: A good idea turned bad. What do you guys think? Is the Simcity franchise doomed to fail, or does the series still have hope? | |
a little suprised to see such a lack of mentions of Saint's Row, which went from above average GTA clone, to excellent GTA game (far more so than GTA 4 anyway, which could also be argued to hold a place on this list), but then decided it was in it's best interest to leap giddily over the shark flailing a dildo bat, abandoning the foothold in reality (well the series' version of it anyways) that made the occasional wackiness work, combined with strip-mining the customization options, characters, side quests, and just about everything else fun about the first 2 | |
You didn't like Return to Dreamland? It wasn't perfect, but was pretty solid overall - certainly didn't suck. Same can be said for Donkey Kong Country Returns, IMO, although I think that was better than Kirby. Anyway, as tempted as I am to say Banjo Kazooie, Nuts and Bolts feels more like a spinoff than a continuation of the main game. Also, as much shit as that game gets for not being like its predecessors, I think it's a really good game... well, a really good tech demo at least. The vehicle creation is awesome and works really well, but the levels and most of the challenges were just uninspired. It somewhat defeats the purpose of having a large open world when your minimap tells you exactly where you need to go to see everything the level has to offer. | |
That's like saying these two cars* are the same because they're both green. Here's a post by Shamus Young that he made about the transition between developers between Fallout games: Also Shank. That series went from wonderful to shit in a single game. A case could also be made for Team Fortress 2 and Minecraft, although they're still hardly bad games. | |
Agreed. Also, Elder Scrolls was surely mentioned before, but it gets a pass from me because it still feels like Elder Scrolls- that thrill of exploration is still there. | |
Well, actually the original Metroid and Castlevania games were quite similar to begin with, even coining the phrase "Metroidvania" to describe those types of platformers. If anything, Castlevania's mistake was to move away from that style into hack'n'slash: Medieval Edition, and Metroid moving into shooter territory (Hunters and Other M, the Prime Series was amazing) | |
What about poor Spyro? I only saw him mentioned once and briefly. I mean after the first trilogy, they couldn't get spyro right again. Don't get me wrong I liked the TLoS trilogy but it wasn't really Spyro at that point anymore. Skylanders is pretty amusing, but it's more of a cameo for Spyro and Cynder not really a Spyro game. | |
have i said paper mario yet? cause if not. paper mario EDIT: seriously nintendo sticks the mario name on every second game the put out. couldn't they at least not hi-jack the paper mario brand for a 1% increase in sales on whatever piece of shit they happen to release that year? | |
Wow, few things I definitely disagree with in this thread. First being about Resident Evil, namely, that its the cool thing to pile on the franchise (even after the much undeserved thrashing that RE6 got in the media). My issue has always been, "Survival horror" is a vague genre. "Survival" in its strictest term refers to inventory management and resource management. The "Horror" aspect is down to individual interpretation. Some people swear Dead Space is an action game, meanwhile other people like my girlfriend can't even play through 3 levels of it without having to take a break. The thing to remember however, is that the turn from traditional "slow plodding" survival horror to "tension action" started earlier, in RE3 with Nemesis. RE4, by the above terms, can't be classified as "survival horror" either. That game, however, gets a free pass. (and its one of those games I can go back and play and go my god this control scheme is terrible compared to more recent games). Maybe I'm not making much sense, but I don't think Resident Evil's current gamestyle, and the older style of the original games is as far removed as people seem to think. | |

Rachel Welte is the Weekend News Anchor and a General Assignment Reporter.
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- In just three weeks voters will decide the future of Memorial Hospital.
The city's municipal election is slated for Aug. 28.
Issue 1A is the only ballot question, and asks voters to approve or deny the city's plan to make Memorial Health System a partner with the University of Colorado Health under a 40-year lease.
"This lease to the University of Colorado Health is by far the best direction, it gets Colorado Springs out of the hospital business," Mayor Steve Bach said.
During a press conference Monday, Mayor Bach and several other city and community leaders encouraged citizens to vote "yes" on 1A.
"I call it a watershed moment," Bach said. "Once in a generation we have the opportunity to make a quantum leap forward in our city, and this is one of those moments."
"It supports a really rich tradition from Memorial, but it also brings some things to this community that we need," UCCS Chancellor Pam Shockley-Zalabak said. "It expands our opportunity for clinical education."
But not everyone is in agreement.
At least two anonymous websites have popped up in recent weeks detailing the reasons why voters should check "no."
One of them is titled "No Hospital Scam."
It lists 12 reasons why the lease is a bad idea, including the University of Colorado Health's offer, current employee tenure and pension, and the lack of local control.
Supporters, including Mayor Bach, refuted the claims and said the lease is a win-win.
"The relationship with U.C. Health will not only deliver better heath care to patients, it will ensure those most in need continue to get help," Mayor Bach said. "We will continue to honor TRICARE, Medicare and Medicaid, and the current employees will remain employed."
Ballots for the municipal election are being mailed out this week.

Yeah. As serious as that particular situation demands. And why can't he smile? If it's a good fight, and he's not risking his or someone else's life I think it's totally fine. It doesn't mean he's not being serious.
And like I said, all this also applies to Yuuki. Kirito might use both swords if it was a life or dead situation, but you don't know if Yuuki wouldn't pull off some secret tech of her own in such a situation as well. Kirito's comment in that fictional interview suggests that he at least thought it wouldn't be rare for Yuuki to be hiding something up her sleeve too.

However, we're still faced with the fact that by the end of Alicization, Kirito would've been separated from Asuna for at least 3 years if not more... Their situation's essentially the ultimate long distance relationship, where no communication is permitted what so ever...
When/if Kirito get out of UW or if Asuna goes in, can Kirito see Asuna the same way again??? it's an interesting question because although his mental maturity etc has changed, Asuna will be exactly the same as who he remembers her to be... In the end, I think he'll still love her, just not necessarily in the same way |

Most of what happens in UW has to be erased from their memories so that shouldn't be a problem either way.

Eugeo For the past two volumes, I believe we all see him as Mr. Nice Guy. He often speaks to others softly. He seldom gets very mad at others. But when Eugeo does get really really angry, only god knows what will happen next. What really happened that made even the Mr. Nice Guy Eugeo very angry? The answer will be revealed in this Volume 11.

I've used homeopathics on my family for years. Just seemed like the logical thing to do. Haha! Sent from Petguide.com Free App |

Good for you! |
FoxyMom |
I'm so glad Moms came on. Yeah. What she said. Haha! We did homeopathy along with our vaccines. I highly recommend it. Sent from Petguide.com Free App |

I HOPE it is the cheese! It is possible that this itching is a healing or detoxing as your dogs systems purges itself of some of the toxins in his body. Detoxing can also come out as mucousy stool, horrid smelling stool, gunk in ears and or eyes, discharge from penis, skin, body smelling etc. AND.....it can get worse before it gets better, but don't panic! There are a few ways to detox. Detoxing is cleansing the liver and kidneys of the toxins they hold on to from the environment and things like vaccines. I use two ways. Homeopathy and Herbal. Here are the Herbals and where to purchase: There are many detoxification products out there but this one is a Professional formula which provides a purer human product. Its called Herbal Hepaclenz by Professional Complementary Formulas. You can purchase it at the following (you just have to create an account): http://www.pureformulas.com/herbal-hepaclenz-90-capsules-by-professional-formulas.html#sthash.FYXksYqo.usaYgZka.dpbs $13 for 90 capsules. Or from www.naturalrearing.com $21 for 90 capspules. A combination of herbs which cleanse and detoxify the liver. Contains Beet leaves; Casoara sagrada and Parsley to aid in the excretion of bile. Dandelion root and Uva Ursi to assist the urinary tract in the detoxification process; Milk Thistle is a liver tonic and stimulant that encourages liver cell renewal and Licorice root helps in removing toxins from the body. Try and coordinate the Herbal Hepaclenz with application of his/her heartworm preventive, vaccination, or flea and tick application. As I stated above, I give our dogs this every 6 weeks when they get their heartworm preventive. It is given as follows, divided into two meals: · under 15 lb. 1 cap · 15 30 lb. 2 caps · 30-40 3 caps · 40lb. + 4 caps After you are finished with the Herbal Hepaclenz, I would recommend taking a break for one week and then starting the Detoxification Factors. This one should be done at least 3 times per year or more often if you feel it necessary because of exposure. DETOXIFICATION FACTORS: This is another Professional human grade formula. Purchased from www.naturalrearing.com60 Capsules $31.00 or 120 Capsules $57.00 or from http://www.pureformulas.com/detoxication-factors-60-capsules-by-integrative-therapeutics.html#sthash.DDNpo2Us.dpbs 60 capsules $33.10 & 120 capsules $64. Formulated to support hepatic detoxication, Detoxication Factors offers nutritional support for Phase I and II detoxication pathways in the liver. This unique formula provides powerful antioxidant support for Phase I with its inclusion of GSH, CoQ10, vitamins C and E, selenium, curcumin, and green tea. Phase II detoxification comprises various conjugation reactions, such as glucuronidation, sulfonation, methylation, and amino acid conjugation. Detoxification Factors supports these reactions with the inclusion of calcium-D-glucarate, n-acetyl-l-cysteine, vitamins B6 and B12, folic acid, glycine, taurine, glutamine, and ornithine asparatate. Together, these ingredients provide support for comprehensive detoxification in the liver. Dosage (On empty stomach): Start with half the dose and take a few days to work up to the recommended amount. · under 10 lbs. 1 a day · 10-25 lbs. 1 twice a day · 25-30 lbs. 3 a day · over 35 lbs. 2 twice a day · over 130 lbs. 3 twice a day (Note: Detoxification Factors are usually given for a period of one month) If you are interested, I can pm you about what homeopathy is, and what/how to use it. I can also give you a recipe to make your own treats out of round steak, pork chops or liver. As far as the effects of the vaccinations being reversible........ya just don't know.....all depends on the dog. Illness can creep in anytime from the breakdown of the immune system, so it is so GREAT that you have decided to feed raw and go as natural as you can. As a personal example as to how long vaccinations last, our dog only had 1 parvo at 10 weeks old and 1 distemper at 16 weeks old and now at age 4, his titers are showing MORE than adequate amount of the antigens in his system. I encourage everyone to get their dog titered BEFORE re-vaccination. If the dog doesn't need it......WHY would the vet vaccinate AGAIN???? Here is data from Dr. Ron Schultz: Minimum Duration of Immunity for Canine Vaccines CORE VACCINESCanine Distemper Virus (CDV): Rockborn Strain 7 years/15 years challenge/serology Onderstepoort Strain 5 years/9 years challenge/serology Canine Adenovirus-2 (CAV-2) 7 years/9 years challenge-CAV-1/serology Canine Parvovirus-2 (CPV-2) 7 years challenge/serology Canine Rabies 3 years/7 years challenge/serology Note: vaccine makers guarantee the 3-year vaccines for 3 years NON-CORE VACCINES Parainfluenza 3 years serology Bordetella bronchiseptica (kennel cough) 9 months challenge Borrelia burgdorfen (Lyme) 1 year challenge Leptospira duration ?

Got it, thank you very much. I have the patience and persistence, I just wanted to know if this was reversible. I will get the oils and the spray and will dilute it. Thank you for all the info, I will def try everything. And stopping the cheese))))) he loved it so much I couldn't resist. But I didn't think that could be it And I'm not using premade raw, I buy meats at the store and give it to him whole, bones and all. And organs and tripe. Sent from Petguide.com Free App |
cci058 | I should clarify too, the hot or raw spots haven't returned. (you asked if they ever go away) For us, yes, they did. As soon as we see her itching (usually only in summer), we kick up the maintenance to prevent them from coming back! | |
cci058 | We consistently gave Maverick cheese in her kong when she was a puppy (she is now 3). Vet said she is allergic to "all chicken and dairy." She now eats raw chicken without a problem, but still no cheese or yogurt. We figured out on our own the high fat content hurt her belly and caused a problem too. When we feed the raw, she doesn't get any skin, which is where most of the fat is. Ironically, she tolerates the salmon oil just fine. If you buy premade raw, watch the fat content in each of them. They aren't all the same. For example, Stella and Chewy's is a great high quality food, but the food along with the treats are waaaaaaaaaay too rich for Maverick. I believe the current sores will clear up. We used the coconut oil, just smothered it on the raw spot. If she licked it, no worry. Its good for them. We tended to the raw spots each morning and each night and they eventually went away. During the day, she would get intermittent sprays of the Doc Ackerman's with aloe. Its all natural, so we really couldn't overdo it. It took a couple months, but YES, all of this went away, which also made us realize it wasn't something in our house that was causing this. She gets freeze dried treats from Fresh is Best or Pure Bites with absolutely no starches - just freeze dried hearts, chicken, salmon, whitefish, duck, etc. Although she eats multiple proteins, there isn't much for her to be allergic to because the ingredients are so limited. This convinced us she didn't have a "food allergy" although she does have a hard time with high fat foods. In summer, the yeast flares up big time since she is in the water so much, and the fresh cut grass makes her sneeze. So we use the things I mentioned but we have a handle on it. If she wasn't in the water so much (hard to keep her out, she is a lunatic in the water she loves it so much) I think the problems would be gone for good. The darn yeast creates a ripple effect.....If I see her licking or scratching, I increase her maintenance and get it under control. I know we will have an itch free fall, winter and part of spring. So yes, there is hope, but it will take time and commitment. Keep building the immune system and maintain a healthy digestive system. I'm confident you can beat these issues and figure out what works best for your furbaby. Might require some maintenance at peak times though(like it does for Mav) I was in tears and at my wits end but got through it. I spend more time taking care of Maverick than I do myself!!! | |
mebully21 | also if you use neem oil you must dilute it with olive oil as in its original strength its very potent and can irritate the skin. diluting it with olive oil (mixing both together ) will help when you rub it on his skin. do NOT let him drink the neem oil- it is to only be rubbed on his skin not fed to him... | |
mebully21 | stop the cheese, it could very well be that. if you stop the cheese and it starts to clear up there is your culprit... change the food from beef to something different like lamb or turkey or emu or rabbit. dogs shouldnt really have dairy. also, contact means rugs, what you wash the wood floors with, grass,dirt, anything he lays on. my last gsd was allergic to wool and certain rug fibers.. | |
lalachka |
Also, cci. I read your first post and saw a few things I liked, like the aloe Vera and the oils. Wanted to say thank you for listing everything. You said your dog is doing good now but then you say you still give him Benadryl and some other stuff. Does it mean it never completely goes away? Sent from Petguide.com Free App |

Washington, DC Tuesday, February 19, 2013
Gustavo Mohar, the former Sub-Secretary for Population, Migration and Religious Affairs, at the Interior Ministry in the Government of Mexico, discussed the changing migration patterns between Mexico and the United States.
In the last few years, net Mexico-to-U.S. migration has fallen to zero. Some of the reasons cited for this are the sluggish U.S. economy and the growing middle class in Mexico, both of which make migration to the U.S. less attractive.
This event was hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

HERSHEY — So what was the secret of the successful "Got Milk?" campaign?
Milk deprivation.
"That your life turned upside down without milk with certain things," said Jeff Manning.
Manning is the former executive director of the California Milk Processor Board and was instrumental in the 1993 creation of the iconic milk branding campaign.
Speaking at last week's Mid-Atlantic Fruit and Vegetable Convention here, Manning talked about the success of the campaign and how fruit and vegetable producers can learn from it.
The Got Milk? campaign, he said, was started to rebrand milk from merely "good for you" to something that's also truly needed with that cookie or bowl of cereal.
The idea was to give people a feeling of what Manning calls "milk deprivation."
"This was a huge turning point for the milk industry," he said.
By forming partnerships and negotiating licensing agreements, Got Milk? started showing up on everything from McDonald's Happy Meals to Oreo cookies.
Even soccer balls were rolled out with the brand to give an extra bounce to Got Milk? marketing in the Hispanic community.
Ironically, the first partnership was with Barbie dolls.
As Manning explains it, he got a call one day from a marketing executive at Mattel, which owns the Barbie brand.
Manning said the company was interested in creating a dairy-themed Barbie doll and heard of the Got Milk? promotion.
As a result, he said, a special edition Barbie was released with, of course, Got Milk? emblazoned on the package.
That led Manning and the California board to develop partnerships with other companies, including promotions with the Girl Scouts of America and Sesame Street.
Besides being able to link milk to other products and having a $22 million annual budget, the innate simplicity of the promotion helped it stick, Manning said.
"Find that strategy, either as a brand or category that you own," he said, "and it has to be true."
Consider the pork industry and its "The Other White Meat" campaign.
Manning said it was an attempt to market pork as an alternative to chicken, another white meat that was seen as healthier and more nutritious than beef.
The campaign, Manning said, led people to give pork a second look, which increased consumption.
Of course, not every product or industry can be marketed like milk or pork.
Manning, who now has his own consulting business, Got Manning?, based in Orinda, Calif., said the best approach varies according to the product.
If it's something perishable, he said, companies will focus on getting the product off the shelf as quickly as possible.
If it's something seasonal, companies can tie the promotion to that time of year, such as hot dogs for the Fourth of July.
More and more, Manning said, people are looking for things that add value to their lives instead of just looking at the price.
In this sense, partnerships can be even more important.
"I don't believe we can succeed by ourselves any longer," he said.
You may not need a lot of money to do it effectively, according to Manning.
Take the case of the tart cherry industry's campaign, which Manning helped develop.
Manning said the idea, backed with a modest $1 million budget, was to brand cherries as a "superfruit" alternative to blueberries and cranberries.
Partnerships with companies like Ocean Spray, which use cherries in its cranberry juice mix, were crucial to getting people to think about consuming tart cherries, he said.
But this campaign also relied on the Internet and social media to give people ideas on how to use tart cherries in recipes and to communicate the fruit's nutritional value.
"We helped transform it," Manning said. "We spent $1 million a year through public relations, the Internet and social media."
Getting an effective marketing strategy for some industries can be challenging.
A group of apple growers attending the presentation tried to pick Manning's brain afterward about an effective marketing campaign for apples.
Complicating the issue is that the apple industry has competed with itself, with Washington state growers marketing their apples against smaller producing states and vice versa.
Manning said integrating an industry to focus on a single message — such as the milk industry's Got Milk? — can be the most effective way to achieve success.
Of course, not everyone wants to sell their products on a national scale. Some prefer focusing on certain segments, such as locally grown.
But in either case, Manning said, the key is to innovate and focus.
"Do one thing really well," he said. "We did Got Milk? really well."

Christianity, the myth of Jesus the 'Sun God' that mimics practically every other religion in anglo's history. Brings with it the stench of burning flesh with their religion of genocide hidden neatly behind the word "LOVE".
"Most of these other gods were born on the 25th of December or sometime during the mid-winter. Nearly all were worshiped by "wise men." All of them fasted for forty days. All met with a violent death. All rose from the dead. The history of these gods is the history of our Christ. He had a god for a father, a virgin for a mother. He was born in a manger, or a cave -- on the 25th of December. His birth was announced by angels. He was worshiped by wise men, guided by a star. Herod, seeking his life, caused the death of many children. Christ fasted for forty days. So, it rained for forty days before the flood -- Moses was on Mt. Sinai for forty days. The temple had forty pillars and the Jews wandered in the wilderness for forty years. Christ met with a violent death, and rose from the dead.
These things are not accidents -- not coincidences. Mythos Christ was a Sun-god. Most religions have been born of sun-worship. Today, when priests pray, they shunt their eyes. This is a survival of sun-worship. When people worshiped the sun, they had to shut their eyes. Afterwords, to flatter idols, they pretended that the glory of their faces was more than the eyes could bear.
In the religion of modern day anglo's there is nothing original. All of its doctrines, its symbols and ceremonies are but the survivals of creeds that perished long ago. Baptism is far older than Christianity -- than Judaism. The Hindus, the Egyptians, the Greeks and Romans had holy water. The eucharist was borrowed from the anglo Pagans. Ceres was the goddess of the fields, Bacchus the god of the vine. At the harvest festival they made cakes of wheat and said: "These are the flesh of the goddess." They drank wine and cried: "This is the blood of our god."
The cross has been a symbol for many thousands of years. It was a symbol of immortality -- of life, of the god Agni, the form of the grave of a man. An ancient people of Italy, who lived long before the Romans, long before the Etruscans, so long that not one word of their language is known, they used the cross, and beneath that emblem, carved on stone, buried their dead. In Central America are the temples of the Toltec and Maya and on the walls is the cross with the bleeding victim. On Babylonian cylinders is the impression of the cross. The Trinity came from Egypt. Osiris, Isis and Horus were worshiped thousands of years before our Father, Son and Holy Ghost were thought of. So the Tree of Life grew in India, China and among the Aztecs long before the Garden of Eden was planted. Long before the anglo Bible was known, other nations had their sacred books, temples and altars, sacrifices, ceremonies and priests. The "Fall of Man" is far older than Xtian religion, and so is the "Atonement" and the Scheme of Redemption.
In our blessed religions of nature and spiritual connectedness there is nothing new, nothing original. That which cannot be created or destroyed only transformed feeds upon itself. Bon appitite."
When you analyze Christianity you quickly find that the whole thing falls apart without a few key concepts, Original Sin being the keystone of the lot. There is no need for a sacrifice to redeem humanity without Original Sin. This is a thing Anglos brought here with them, it is not born of us - flush it. With it, the monstrous burden of saving humanity requires a colossal, superhuman punishment that no one else but super God deity could bear (note the irony in that). Hence the focus on the "Passion" rather than the wisdom applied in the life and the teachings of "Mythical Jesus" in this movie. Gibson is saying, "Look what He did for you! Be thankful and worship in return."
In my opinion the corruption of truth happens when people begin to believe that only via one religion can salvation be attained. Gibsons glorification of Mythical Christs agony and, by extension, his special status, only helps to keep that illusion and delusion at force, in my view.
It's an interesting fact that of all historical high profile spiritual masters, almost none died in the fashion that Mythical Christ is portrayed as dying in (scripturally, and enhanced artistically by Gibson in his film). Socrates was compelled to drink poison; unpleasant, but likely not agonizing. Buddha died lying on his side likely with only a belly cramp (he ate some bad pork...and he was 80 years old). Lao Tzu (founder of Taoism) disappeared into the mountains riding on the back of a water buffalo; Ramana Maharshi died of cancer at age 70; etc.
Many lesser known spiritual teachers likely died agonizing deaths during times of persecution (Inquisition, etc), such as Giordano Bruno and Knight's Templar leader Jacques deMolay....but there is one interesting case of a radical, rebellious mystic living in Bhagdad around 900 AD, who preached a new religion amongst the Islamic culture of his time, a very dangerous thing to do -- and was in turn crucified for his work. His main teaching, that he was God incarnate, appears to have been an identical claim as that made by Jesus and, interestingly, he too was *crucified* for this claim.
Mother our Earth, the path of nature, our garden and our friends, within this is our salvation, our way and our hearts and our belifs..in the life and in the peace HERE after. Remember it again and live it, or face extinction on some other world in some other land and cultures mind there stands a little old white anglo man waiting to judge you to see if you are good enough for their kingdom of nothingness behind their pearly gates of oblivion.
